Unparalleled Double Harmony

The story behind the "Silkworm Hunting Ring" cannot be told in a few words. If you want to understand it clearly, you have to start at least fifty years ago.

The martial arts scene in the Central Plains at that time was completely different from what it is now.

Sects that are famous in today's martial arts world, such as Ba Fist Sect, Shen Dao Villa, and Price Gang, were either not established at that time, were not yet established, or were in a period of inactivity.

The concept of "four gates and three gangs" does not exist yet. Gangs such as the Cao Gang and the Yan Gang do exist, but they all fight on their own.

To say which sect was the most powerful in the arena at that time, it had to be Wudang.

At that time, there were six masters in Wudang who were in their prime, known as the "Six Heroes of Wudang". Their Taoist names were also easy to remember, namely, Jinqiao Zhenren, Yinqiao Zhenren, Yuqiao Zhenren, Shiqiao Zhenren, and Muqiao Zhenren. and Takehashi Masato.

You can tell from the Taoist names of these six people that they are brothers; of course, their master is not the founder of the Wudang sect, Zhenren Zhang. After all, the Great Master of this universe has existed for hundreds of years. No matter how alive Zhang Zhenren is, he will never live to be close to people of this generation. Moreover, the Zhenren Zhang of this universe may not be the same as the Zhang Sanfeng we know well.

Speaking of these six heroes, they have their own strengths and weaknesses in terms of martial arts, moral character, teaching skills, and organizing gangs. However, the one with the best combination of abilities in all aspects must be Master Yuqiao, so he has no choice but to become the Wudang Master of this generation. Door.

Seeing this, some people may think that what follows is bound to be the kind of fight between brothers and sisters who turn against each other because of the position of leader, and fight to the death.

However it didn't...

In fact, the relationship between these six people is very good, and they all have chivalrous hearts and do not have too many selfish desires.

Therefore, in those years, under the leadership of Master Yuqiao and the assistance of his five brothers, Wudang ushered in another period of prosperity, and even vaguely became a leader in the Central Plains martial arts world.

But who would have thought that at their most glorious moment, a martial arts catastrophe has quietly begun...

That year, there was such a force that suddenly came from outside Shanhaiguan.

Not many people came, only about twenty people, and most of them were attendants who didn't know martial arts; there were only six real masters.

They call themselves the "Wanyuan Sect", which is a sect in the Korean martial arts world.

The purpose of the Wanyuan Sect's visit this time is also very simple. According to the six people, because the Wanyuan Sect had unified the entire Korean martial arts forest not long ago, it could no longer find an opponent in its hometown, so it sent out the disciples at the door. The six people who were "everywhere" crossed the land of Liaodong and went to Guanzhong. The heroes who came to test the martial arts in the Central Plains weighed a few ounces.

Ladies and gentlemen, once these words are spoken, can the young heroes and veterans of the Central Plains martial arts world... still be able to sit still?

For a time, people could be heard almost everywhere in the world shouting "We can't be underestimated by these Korean barbarians." There was also a steady stream of people going to the six masters of Wanyuan Sect for "competition" every day. Continuously.

But within a month, this momentum had completely disappeared.

Some people even walked halfway and had not yet met anyone from the Wanyuan Sect. They just met people who had gone to challenge earlier. After a little exchange, they gave up.

It's obvious that the masters of Wanyuan Sect really have something difficult to deal with...

Of course, so far, this situation is far from being called a "martial arts catastrophe" for two reasons.

First: At this time, the Wanyuan Sect has not done anything that can be labeled as "evil". They just waited for the opportunity after making harsh words, and defeated the Central Plains warriors who came to challenge them one by one; in this process Although there were many casualties among the challengers, both sides had agreed on their destiny before taking action. The number of people dueling was usually one-on-one. In many cases, it was people from the Wanyuan Sect who fought against many people. , so according to the rules of the world, you can't find anything wrong with them.

Second: In just this month, those guys who immediately come to visit them as soon as they hear someone's words, whether they are sects or wanderers, are basically second- and third-rate people in the world; these people either have experience Limited, or overconfident, or eager to become famous, so when encountering this kind of thing, they are often the first ones who can't calm down and send them away... And just because they are defeated, it does not tear apart the Central Plains martial arts world. As for face, at most it can be regarded as smearing some mud on the face.

I have to say here that those high-ranking sects and first-class masters are just different.

You may say that they have rich experience in the world of martial arts, or you may say that they have become timid after becoming famous. Anyway, when faced with this situation, most of them just ignore it; With an air of air in his eyes, he secretly watched carefully, collected information, and calculated what chance he would have of winning if the moment came when he had to face the Wanyuan Sect.

From this point of view, those who sent them up first were not completely useless - it was precisely because so many forces from the middle and lower reaches of the martial arts world had gone to cushion them first that those upstream could deal with them before they fought against the Wanyuan Sect. You have a general understanding of the opponent's strength, so you won't be caught off guard.

As for the six members of the Wanyuan Sect, they really did not let these high-ranking sects in the Central Plains plot their plans in vain... Seeing that the small characters who came to challenge them gradually disappeared, they felt that it was almost done, and it was time to pick a few "big fish" and start taking the initiative. .

So which one should I start with?

They were actually a bit weak there, so they avoided the Shaolin and Wudang sects at first, and instead picked a few martial arts celebrities who were at the bottom.

What? You ask how they know information like "which of the high-ranking martial arts sects and famous masters in the Central Plains are the best?"

Damn, what do you think they were doing in the first month? Wan Yuan Sect's action of deliberately speaking cruel words and attracting those martial arts minors to come from all over the world to challenge him, in addition to killing some miscellaneous fish to establish his power, naturally also has the meaning of collecting intelligence.

If they really have no fear of the martial arts in the Central Plains, why not just sit down at a roadside stall on the way here, ask the noodle master which sect in the Central Plains is the best, and then go all the way to the mountain gate to fight? Why are you still wasting this month's effort?

To put it simply, after some consideration, the sixth master of Wanyuan Sect decided that the first sect they approached was the Jinling Sword King’s Mansion.

At that time, the master of the Sword King's Mansion, the number one master in the manor, was named Dugu Jiu; he was the grandfather of Dugu Yong, the "Defying Dragon Sword" in our previous document, and the father of Dugu Sheng, the "Xunlong Sword".

Dugujiu's sons and grandsons are each more talented in martial arts than the other, but unfortunately he himself is mediocre in talent.

As the eldest son of a martial arts family, Dugu has been practicing excellent ancestral internal skills and matching ancestral swordsmanship since he was a child. Even though he has practiced it to the fourth level, he is still a second-rate player in the martial arts world. At best, he can be considered a first-rate master. The edge of it.

Generally speaking, it is difficult for people with martial arts skills like his to maintain the reputation of a famous martial arts family. Fortunately... Although Dugu is not good at martial arts, he is very talented in another aspect - his vision of people. Specially approved.

So in this life, Dugu married a virtuous wife, made many loyal friends, and even the servants in the house were all honest and loyal.

In addition, he is very self-aware of himself and is not someone who loves to show off his abilities, so he can be considered as keeping his job.

However, once the people from Wanyuan Sect arrive, Dugu will suffer a serious blow. They are not here to make friends with you, and they are not here to give you and your friends any face. They are here just to mess with you.

At this stage, the Wanyuan Sect is no longer the "accept the challenge, life or death" approach, but the approach of taking the initiative to challenge you, and if you win, you will "pay the price".

As for what the "price" is...it could be humiliating you, or it could be asking you to kneel down and worship me on the spot, it could be asking you to give away your secret skills or weapons, or it could be asking you to If you offer your beloved wife, concubines or family property, it can be to destroy your martial arts skills, or it can also be to simply gamble with your life...

Challenges like this, which are already on the edge of the rules of the world and closer to the law of the jungle, cannot be said to be non-existent in the world, but they are relatively rare. It is extremely rare for this kind of situation to happen to a high-ranking sect or a martial arts family. .

Because those who come to ask people for these requests are just trying to make a blood feud with them. Once this kind of thing starts, it doesn’t matter who wins today. Anyway, as long as the other party is not dead or has descendants, Then the two subsequent families must retaliate against each other until one of them is completely wiped out.

Therefore, it is not difficult to guess that if there is no hatred, those who will take the initiative to challenge people are the kind of sects or individuals who are not afraid of revenge.

Just like Tianxiahui in "The Wind and Cloud", I don't care whether you are Bujiazhuang or Nie Renwang? When I, Xiongba, came to get you, I didn't think you could avenge me, or I wasn't afraid of you coming to take revenge... Of course, this is a negative example, Xiongba was punished later.

In short, the Wanyuan Sect is currently targeting Dugujiu first.

Many of Dugujiu's friends heard the news and rushed to help, but no matter how much they help, they can't replace you as the master of the palace, right? The Wanyuan Sect is nominally here to challenge you, Sword King's Mansion. You said Potian also has to fight one-on-one with someone.

This attack, nothing else, Dugu was killed on the spot.

Dugu Sheng was only three and a half years old that year, and he witnessed his father being killed. If it weren't for a group of martial arts people who came to the house to help that day, they later forced Wan Yuan back by relying on three points of strength and seven points of moral kidnapping. Zong's men and horses saved the orphans and widows of the Dugu family and the sign of Sword Prince's Mansion. Sword Prince's Mansion might have simply disappeared from the world that day.

The battle at the Jianwang Mansion also became a wake-up call for the major martial arts sects in the Central Plains to truly feel that the crisis was coming.

Wanyuan Sect's next target is Fangjiazhuang.

Fangjiazhuang was not as lucky as Jianwangfu. The head of their family at that time was a surly person. He did not have the connections of Dugu. When Wanyuan Sect came to visit him, no one came to help, so he waited for Fangjiazhuang. What happened was the tragedy of annihilation.

Of course, everyone in the Fang family was not dead. A teenage boy escaped that day, and his son is the abbot who is now known as "the best shot in the world" by people in the world.

Then, the Wanyuan Sect came looking for them non-stop... Yes, I think someone has already guessed it - the Murong family.

I said before when Murong Ji appeared on the scene that during the Yongtai period, the Murong family had already changed from a martial arts family to a local tycoon whose family was in decline. It was only ten years ago that it rose again with the help of the power of the officialdom and the gambling industry, so here we also It is not difficult to guess that the reason why their family fell into decline fifty years ago was also the Wanyuan Sect.

Unlike the Fang family, the Murong family has a strong foundation and many friends. Although the family head and several retainers were beaten into cripples and their vitality was severely damaged after this battle, they did not suffer the disaster of annihilation.

At this point, among the "six kings" of today's martial arts, there are already three who are clearly related to the catastrophe fifty years ago.

But moving forward, we finally have to mention Wu-Tang again.

After the Wanyuan Sect continued to increase the difficulty and defeated three cities in a row, they came to the conclusion that the Central Plains martial arts world was full of losers, so they decided not to waste time anymore, and the next stop was Wudang, the "leader of the Central Plains martial arts world" at that time. .

Coincidentally, the Six Heroes of Wudang are also six people.

At that point in time, the Six Heroes were the last line of defense and fig leaf of the Central Plains Wulin. If even they were defeated by the six masters of Wanyuan Sect and allowed these six people to leave in triumph, then in a few months, Wan Yuan would be The leader of the sect will probably lead more of his subordinates in a large-scale conquest. By then, I am afraid that this side will not even have the heart to resist.

Some people may want to ask, doesn’t our Central Plains martial arts community always follow the principle of “Don’t argue with these people about moral principles, let’s all fight together” every time when there is a crisis? Why don't you go together as a group when there are only six of us? With a few more sects, the crowd tactics would drown them all.

At this point, we might as well make it clear, what about the six masters of Wanyuan Sect... Although they announced to the outside world after coming to the Central Plains, there are no less than a hundred people of their level in the Korean martial arts, and there are those who are slightly weaker than them. There are hundreds of them, and these hundreds can only sweep the floor and wash dishes in the Wanyuan Sect... But in fact, the six of them are the six strongest under the leader of the Wanyuan Sect.

These six people have different martial arts methods and have their own strengths, but without exception, they are all the strongest among ten thousand. If you want to make an analogy, all six of them are "Xiao Zhun level".

There are naturally not many people at this level, whether in the Central Plains or North Korea.

If there are six people of this level and they are united together, it cannot be filled by the human sea tactic, or even if it can be filled, it will cost incalculable casualties.

Of course, in the final analysis, the martial arts community in the Central Plains is not that united...

Theoretically, it is possible to find six stronger people in the Central Plains martial arts to defeat them fairly, and even twenty people can be gathered together with gritted teeth. , some are semi-retired warriors who pull their old faces to join forces with big bosses from other sects, or some unsociable martial arts prodigals, or even some "evil crooks" to fight against the enemy. Many people will have concerns.

Some people are worried about face, some people have grievances between each other, some people have been secretly feuding for many years, and some people are because the current management of their own sect has their own plans, and you won’t let them go even if you want to. you go……

The six members of the Wan Yuan Sect have no such concerns. As they said, the Wan Yuan Sect has unified the Korean martial arts world. As long as they still have the sect leader to control them, they are of the same mind.

So, after going round and round, the important task of facing the enemy finally came to the Six Heroes of Wudang.

Jinqiao, Yinqiao, Yuqiao, Shiqiao, Muqiao and Zhuqiao have faced the biggest test in their lives. They must face this martial arts catastrophe and must win.

But they themselves also know that with their martial arts, only Jinqiao Zhenren, who is the most powerful, and Yuqiao Zhenren, who has the strongest overall strength, can still hope to win in a duel with the opponent. ...As for the other four, although they are all top-notch experts, their chances of winning in a one-on-one match are really slim.

In a situation like this that is almost desperate, it is useless to think of ordinary methods. It is just like calculating the points for the World Cup qualifiers over the years. Even if you count the flowers, the final points will not be enough.

In extraordinary times, extraordinary means must be used to turn the tide.

In the end, Master Yuqiao made a decision that went against his ancestors. As the current leader, he fought against all opinions and opened a secret that Wudang had hidden for many years as the ultimate means to overcome this crisis...
