Across the heavens starting from the Buddhist King Kong

Chapter 45 Big Competition
The gate of Baiyun nunnery in Hengshan was closed, and there was no one there, but in front of Wuse nunnery, the main nunnery of Jianxing peak, several miles away, there were hundreds of nuns in black and seventy to eighty young girls and women standing.

Because today is the Hungry Ghost Festival, which is also the Buddhist Yulan Basin Festival, in previous years, disciples of the Hengshan School would gather in Baiyun Nunnery or Wuse Nunnery to hold pujas.

However, this year, Master Dingxian also ordered that after the Yulan Basin Festival, there will be a big comparison among the disciples, and then the disciples with the best martial arts will be selected to teach the best martial arts of the sect, so not only There were disciples from the two nunneries on Mount Heng, disciples from lower courts from all over the country, and disciples from ordinary families with outstanding martial arts, who also came to Jianxing Peak to participate in the grand meeting.

At this time, the red sun is rising in the east, but the sun is not yet blazing. When you look up, you can clearly see the red sun passing through the cloud line little by little, until it leaps over the clouds and blooms a bright and eye-catching brilliance.

As the three bells rang in the Wuse Nunnery, all the disciples looked solemn, knowing that the auspicious time of four quarters had arrived.

The dilapidated door of the Wuse Nunnery was pushed open, and three middle-aged nuns of different shapes and appearances and a young monk stepped out. Behind them were two teams of young nuns in dark clothes. After the nun is a young monk with a thin face.

The three nuns and one monk in the head were all wearing cassocks, and they were the heads of the Hengshan School, Master Dingxian, Master Dingjing, Master Dingyi, and monk Dingyi.

At this time, the three nuns and the monk Baoxiang are majestic. Master Dingxian is holding a copper bell, Master Dingjing is holding a wooden fish, Master Dingyi is holding a small drum, Zheng Guize is holding a golden cymbal, and the disciples behind the four are also holding All kinds of instruments.

Following the ringing of the bronze bell in Master Dingxian's hand, all the disciples outside the Wuse Nunnery came forward to pay their respects.

"Enter the nunnery and open the altar!"

Mrs. Dingjing spoke, and the wooden fish "dang" in her hand.

The three nuns and one monk then turned around and walked into the Wuse Nunnery with their disciples, entered the Avalokitesvara Hall, and knelt down in front of the statue of the Avalokitesvara.

All the disciples also stepped forward with their hands down, filed in one by one, kneeling behind the teachers one by one.

Two hours later, the Dharma meeting ended with the sound of Buddhist scriptures chanted by the nuns.

Wuse Nunnery is very small, Master Dingxian saw that there was no space for his disciples to flex their muscles, so he said: "Today's competitions will be held in front of the stone platform in the south of Jianxing Peak."

The crowd then moved to the big stone platform on the gentle slope south of the peak outside the nunnery. Nearly 200 people standing on the stone slope still looked empty.

At this time, the weather was hot, and the mountain wind was howling, which made people's robes tremble, but they felt comfortable all over.

Master Dingjing looked at all the disciples, and said: "The disciples who are less than sixteen years old will watch the senior sisters compete with swords, and the rest of the disciples will catch up with each other. If someone misses and hurts someone, Yiqing, come and watch the disciples from the lower courts compete, Yizhen, Yizhi, you just look after the lay disciples."

The four major disciples bowed to accept the order, and then went to greet the disciples, divided into two groups, and then divided three venues. The disciples from the Hengshan two nunneries, the disciples from the nunnery of the lower courtyard, and the lay disciples were in a corner, watching the two disciples compete.

The disciples of the Hengshan sect were all women, and the masters and apprentices of Zheng Gui were all women. The strength of women is insufficient, and the defense of men and women is related to the reputation. Therefore, the disciples of Hengshan have always focused on swordsmanship, and their boxing skills are almost all weak points.

Therefore, Zheng Gui watched for a long while, but only saw each disciple using Hengshan swordsmanship to compete in martial arts, and did not see a disciple using fists and palms or other martial arts.

Zheng Gui knew that poor fist and kick skills were a weakness of Hengshan's disciples, but when he thought of the seven-man sword formation, the treasure of the school, he sighed softly in his heart: Compared with the sword formation, good fist and kick skills are really nothing...

If the ancestors of the Hengshan School hadn't been all unambitious nuns, the Hengshan School would have had the foundation to replicate the power of the Quanzhen Sect back then...

The Hengshan School's seven-man sword formation combines offense and defense, and can even be combined with other formations. Seven disciples of second- and third-rate martial arts in the Jianghu can explode in strength comparable to first-rate masters in the Jianghu. If the Hengshan School has tens of thousands of disciples , Sweeping all factions in the world is extremely easy.

Zheng Gui felt that after Wang Chongyang's death and Zhou Botong's disappearance, the Quanzhen Sect lacked top masters, but it was still the largest sect in the world, relying on the "Tiangang Beidou Formation" after the formation of the Quanzhen Seven Masters.

Later, Guo Jing took Yang Guo up the mountain to visit his teacher, but he was mistaken for a prostitute who harassed Xiaolongnv, and was besieged by thousands of Quanzhen disciples. Facing hundreds of Tiangang Beidou formations, even Guo Juxia was almost defeated. This is enough to show that This kind of formation that can greatly increase the combat power is no less than peerless martial arts in terms of the strength of the sect, and even surpasses it.

It's a pity that neither Zuo Lengchan nor Yue Buqun knew how to use the Hengshan Seven Sword Formation, they only focused on the evil sword technique.

Zheng Gui watched the disciples catching the contrasting swords in the arena, but his eyes were already erratic, and his mind was immersed in thinking about the seven-man sword formation.

After a long time, Zheng Gui came back to his senses when five disciples were selected after this big competition, and they went forward to kowtow to Hengshan Siding.

He looked at the four nuns and a woman with a smile, but said in his heart: I still need to persuade the senior sister in charge to recruit more disciples. Now the Hengshan Sect has more than 300 disciples. If it can be increased tenfold, more than [-] disciples will be trained by then. A seven-man sword formation is enough to sweep the other schools of the Five Sacred Sword Sect. How dare Zuo Lengchan annex Hengshan?

While Zheng Gui was secretly making a decision in his heart, Master Dingxian had already spoken out to encourage the disciples, and at the same time announced to everyone that the five disciples who won this competition will learn the best swordsmanship of the Hengshan School .

Although the five disciples were overjoyed, they kowtowed their heads to express their thanks, while the rest of the disciples were also full of envy, cheering secretly in their hearts, preparing to practice martial arts well in the future, and strive to earn a place to learn superior martial arts for themselves next time.

At this moment, the setting sun is hanging over the Xuankong Temple, and it will be setting in half an hour at the most. Master Dingjing got up and ordered the disciples to disperse. Master Dingyi looked at the five disciples and said, "At the time of tomorrow, the head of the sect I will personally teach the five of you martial arts, so let's all go down today and have a good rest."

These five disciples are the first batch of disciples that Master Dingxian and the others planned to teach to the outside world after they obtained the lost sword art. It was partially taught, so Yi and the four of them did not participate in this big comparison, which also invisibly raised the status of the four of them.

All the disciples saluted and retreated. Apart from Zheng Gui and Dingxian Sanni, there was only a monk Yiguang wearing a tattered monk's robe standing not far away on the stone platform.

Master Dingyi glanced at Yiguang, smiled and said: "Junior brother, this time you went down the mountain and opened the door to accept disciples, and you saved a prostitute who just had a bad deed. It is really a great merit."

After Zheng Gui accepted Tian Boguang as his apprentice and named him Yiguang, he hurried back to Hengshan Mountain. It was already July [-] when he went up the mountain. He had just brought his disciples to visit the two senior sisters and was about to prepare for the Yulan Basin Festival. , so at this time Zheng Gui and the three senior sisters finally had time to have a good talk.

Tian Boguang's reputation as a lone traveler has not yet been revealed at this time, but his excellent martial arts has already fallen into Sanni's eyes, and after listening to Zheng Gui's story about the origin of Yiguang and how his younger brother included him as a disciple Afterwards, Sanni was quite concerned about the eldest disciple of the junior junior brother.

Zheng Gui smiled slightly, waved at Yiguang, and said, "Come here, Yiguang, you have already paid respects to the master master and the third master. This Mrs. Dingjing just returned to the mountain last night. She is your master uncle. Kowtow quickly."

Yi Guang hurriedly pulled up his robe and bowed down, kowtowed and said: "Disciple Yi Guang, I pay my respects to Master Uncle."

Master Dingjing nodded, and said: "Get up, although you are born in a wrong way, but you are destined to meet your mentor Zen Master Dingxing, this is your fate and blessing, good life and practice will surely redeem your sins and seek liberation. When you enter the lintel of Mount Heng, you must abide by the precepts and do not act recklessly."

Yi Guang has been repeatedly reprimanded and warned by his elders since he joined the Hengshan School, and he has gotten used to listening to it, so he hurriedly lowered his head and said, "I will follow the teachings, thank you Master."
