The first among the heavens begins with martial arts

Chapter 14
In Gulong's arena, although the time is vague, it is basically gathered between the 300 years of the Ming Dynasty.

There is never a past, and there is no future to speak of.

But a world cannot exist without a past and a future.

The martial arts in the world of the Jin system has a long history, and like the letter history, there are many records from the Spring and Autumn Period, and it has never been interrupted.

The development of martial arts is also clear, from the original and powerful to rigorous and complex, until it reached its peak in the Tang Dynasty, and a series of peerless magic arts such as Taixuan Jing, Dou Zhuan Xing Yi, and Liumai Excalibur appeared.

The flourishing age of martial arts lasted until the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty, and then recovered slightly in the late Yuan and early Ming Dynasties, then accelerated its decline, and reached the end of the martial arts in the early Qing Dynasty.

Although Qian Heng was number one in martial arts in the Qing Dynasty at that time, if he returned to the Tang and Song Dynasties, he could hardly be called a top master, and it is even more difficult to enter the master class in this life.

The biggest reason for this is actually the limitation of the world. Under the passage of time, the Luding World has been unable to climb to the pinnacle of martial arts.

After Qian Heng came to the new world to gain a firm foothold, he searched for the history and past of martial arts and discovered a very strange problem.

At the beginning of this world, martial arts did not exist. The earliest time for martial arts to appear was actually at the end of the Tang Dynasty, when the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms were fighting for hegemony.

Compared with the Jin Dynasty, the development of martial arts in this world has continued to grow from the beginning, and it also reached its peak in the Song Dynasty. Today, among the eight great martial arts in the world, "Heaven and Earth Yin and Yang Conquer Great Compassion Fu", "Wedding Clothes Magic", "Four Photos" "Shen Gong", "Ming Yu Gong", "Wu Xiang Shen Gong", and "Clavicle Ecstasy of Heaven and Buddha Volume" were all formed in the Song Dynasty.

Due to the sudden emergence of martial arts, the Song court itself did not have enough masters, and gangs from all over the country resisted the central government by force, which essentially split the court.

Later, as more and more people practiced martial arts, the spread of martial arts was inevitable. Demigod masters appeared one after another to usurp power. The rivers and lakes and courts experienced turmoil that lasted for hundreds of years, and the entire north was swept away, so Song Ting went south. The Yangtze River and the Jin Dynasty were also unable to rule, and the north has essentially become a separatist territory for martial arts sects and gangs.

With the rise of Mongolia, the Devil's Cult and the Tibetan Esoteric Cult gave their all to help, defeated the Jin Dynasty in a short time, and ruled the northern part of the Central Plains in name, but still could not achieve a stable rule, so they changed their targets and marched westward, reaching the Eastern European Plain.

At this time, the magician appeared.

No one knew his origin, no one knew his name, no one knew why he helped Montin, and no one knew how strong he was.

At that time, there were endless masters of the Central Plains and great masters, and there were several demigod-level masters, but no one could perform three tricks in the hands of the magician, even if everyone joined forces.

The magic power is mighty, covering the sky and the sun.

Under the unstoppable force, the Shenzhou Lu Shen civilization was bleak, and China fell completely for the first time, and the martial arts fell to the lowest point in history under the massacre of the magician.

Half a century of darkness finally came to an end 20 years after the mysterious disappearance of the magician. The Central Plains Wulin, who had experienced a painful blow, learned a lesson, and instead of fighting each other, they united as one, supported Huaixi commoner Zhu Chongba, and overthrew the Great Yuan in one fell swoop. , Sweep away the magic atmosphere, and build a great Ming.

In order to avoid repeating the same mistakes, the Central Plains killed each other and caused a mess to be taken advantage of by outsiders. Various martial arts factions made a treaty with the Emperor Ming in Nanjing, and the forces in the rivers and lakes were not allowed to covet the imperial power.

This is also the fundamental reason why although there are many masters in the Daming Jianghu, no one has the idea of ​​Zhu's family.

This matter is said to be a secret but not kept secret, but I really don’t know until it reaches a certain height. Qian Heng also only found out after annexing the Tianzun organization. Listening to Xie Xiaofeng’s retelling at this time, he has some new insights into the history of martial arts idea.

Xie Tian, ​​the founder of Shenjian Villa, was one of the heroes who assisted the Ming Taizu, so he was given the door plaque of the world's best sword after he retired after his success, which has been passed down to this day.

"You don't want to replace Zhu Ming's royal family, do you? I advise you not to be wild, even a demigod would not dare to do so."

Qian Heng sneered, "Comparing what I want to do, changing the dynasty is like a feather to Mount Tai, and there is no need to compare it."

He looked around, Li Xunhuan, Yan Shisan, Xie Xiaofeng and Murong Qiudi all looked solemn, obviously wanting to hear his opinion.

"I want two things, one is longevity, and the other is infinity."

"You can't live forever. Everything in the world is just a passing cloud. Gathering according to fate and then dissipating. As time goes by, women, wealth, fame and status are all wiped out. No matter how great achievements are, they are just a joke in the end. I can't tolerate this final ending." , so I must live forever, longevity is my greatest desire, my greatest ambition, and the foundation for all my desires, and I must realize it.”

"And the so-called infinity means more possibilities. Don't you think this world is too boring? Piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, astrology, divination, arrays of alchemy, tailoring and planting, a huge empire, but knowledge and information are so barren, a genius of the sky. It’s unreasonable to be able to master all the characters. If I really live forever, will I live in this world without any surprises? Couldn’t tens of millions of people create more knowledge and possibilities?”

"In my opinion, the way to achieve both is actually not difficult, that is, let more people receive education, let more people practice martial arts, and a knowledgeable person can create The sum of new knowledge and possibilities, the same martial artist can also promote the evolution and development of martial arts. Tens of millions of people in the Central Plains have become knowledgeable martial artists. Under the deduction of infinite wisdom, longevity is bound to be achieved. My Desires can also be fulfilled."

"So my purpose is very simple. There are only eight words, to teach all living beings to use martial arts."

Li Xun Huan's heart was full of turmoil. This was the first time he knew Qian Heng's fundamental thoughts. Compared with his previous actions, it was obvious that he was not lying.

The four of them were all shocked by Qian Heng's ideal. If such an idea hadn't come out of his mouth, they would only be ridiculed. There are many people in the martial arts who pursue longevity, but since ancient times, no one has been able to achieve it, let alone Needless to say infinite.

But after personally experiencing the effects of the longevity formula, several people had to admit that it was really possible for Qian Heng to achieve his goal.

This peerless exercise can increase one's lifespan by up to 150 years. Adding one's original lifespan, it can easily exceed [-]. But they believe that Qian Heng, who created the formula of longevity, will definitely live longer.

With enough time, enough patience, enough power and wealth, and persistent advancement, Qian Heng definitely has the possibility to achieve his goal.

Li Xunhuan looked at Qian Heng's firm eyes, and seemed to see the endless bloodbath. If he wants to promote social change, he must pay the price of blood. Qian Heng's ideal means the end of countless obstacles.

"With your current strength, it's too early to do these things, so you're not worried that your success will fall short?"

Murong Qiudi's question hits the point. She deeply understands how many powers and masters there are in the arena. With the strength of the Tianzun organization, they are also trapped in the Jiangnan area. If they expand a little, they will face countless difficulties, let alone this revolution in martial arts.

If Qian Heng hadn't spread the longevity formula to the world, it would naturally be able to shake the current situation by virtue of its unique longevity effect, but Qian Heng would have lost the opportunity if he announced it to the world.

However, few people can understand Qian Heng's choice. Unless he keeps the secret, the effect of the formula of longevity will spread out sooner or later. At that time, Qian Heng's organization will become the target of public criticism, so everyone will put aside all disputes and deal with him together. .

"I didn't intend to accomplish my goal in a short time. I have plenty of time. As long as the plan does not stagnate, my goal will definitely be achieved in a few hundred years."

Li Xun Huan was thoughtful, "You collected martial arts from all over the world, is this the first step towards this goal?"

Qian Heng nodded, "Collect martial arts from all over the world, and invite those who are willing to create a big scene together. I am going to find a place to promote education and martial arts as a base for reform."

Yan Shisan showed a clear expression, "When there are more and more companions who agree with you, your ideal will naturally have more fellow travelers working together, just like a snowball, it will grow bigger and bigger, and eventually become an unstoppable trend. "

Xie Xiaofeng said quietly: "Both Zhengmo and the court family will not watch this kind of thing happen, they will definitely stop it." As the third young master of Shenjian Villa, he is very clear about the thoughts of the upper echelons of the Jianghu forces.

"The old and the new are changing, and it is naturally impossible to get through it smoothly, but as long as I am given a few years, I am sure enough to gain an absolute advantage, so that no one dares to act rashly. The magician was able to coerce the world back then. can do."

Murong Qiudi said clearly: "This is the fundamental reason why you threw out the formula of longevity. Its existence can buy you a lot of time."

Qian Heng chuckled and did not refute Murong Qiudi's deduction, "So, tell me now, are you willing to join this revolution and become my comrades?"

Yan Shisan did not hesitate, "This kind of thing sounds very interesting. If I refuse, I will regret it later, so I choose to join!"

Li Xun Huan smiled wryly, and said: "Actually, I don't want to get involved in such a magnificent story, because I don't know whether it's right or wrong, but it's a pity that I can't help it now."

Li Xunhuan saw very clearly that there would be no room for neutrality in the confrontation between the two camps in the future. In the choice between the two camps, he still preferred Qian Heng. He could see Qian Heng's compassion for the common people in his heart, but This kind of mercy is rare in the imperial court and in the arena.

Murong Qiudi also agreed, she herself is a strong woman who wants to make a big career, in the confluence of wind and cloud, she will only feel like a fish in water.

There was only one person present who was still struggling.

Xie Xiaofeng was born in the top family of martial arts. He was born at the top of the society. He enjoyed superhuman resources and education since he was a child. Under the teaching from a young age, he couldn't understand the hardships and sufferings of the lower classes until he became useless. Aggie.

Aji's eight years of wandering made him understand what Qian Heng didn't say. This change is undoubtedly a revolution for the original upper class of society. To join is to completely deny one's past.

The third young master of Shenjian Villa never let go of the pride in his heart even when he was wandering. The honor and glory forged in the past 200 years have long become the support of his soul.

He could let go of the sword, but he couldn't let go of the pride and responsibility in his heart. When he let go of this heavy past, it was equivalent to letting go of everything.
