The Heroes of Gulong: Great Chefs from Past to Present

Chapter 828 The dispute between Buddhism and Taoism
The ninth of September.

Forbidden City.

Hundreds of plain-dressed gangsters armed with swords, spears, and axes strode into the Forbidden City.

Li Chaofeng used his martial arts to force the emperor to abdicate, and the first imperial decree was to hold a military examination.

For a time, people's hearts were in turmoil, and countless people who were eager to gain power gathered in Kyoto.

Power never appears suddenly, nor does it disappear suddenly.

It just transfers.

The famous and upright sects and martial arts families are the real owners of the martial arts world.

And now.
The status of the wandering people in the martial arts world and the famous and upright sects has been reversed today.

Countless people looked across the Jinshui Bridge and towards the front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

They saw the former leader and hall master of the Qinglong Society, and also saw the man in white sitting under the purple dragon's flag.

The boss of Qinglong.

The dragon's son is Bixi.

Bai Yujing.

Seeing Bai Yujing sitting in the main seat, people in the martial arts world began to whisper.

"Isn't the Dragon God hosting this martial arts exam? Why is only Bai Yujing here?"

"Can we still call ourselves disciples of the Emperor and Dragon God?"

"I came here to pay my respects to the Dragon God, not to see the Dragon Son."

"That's good. Longzi's status in the Shenlong Gang is second only to the Dragon God. Bai Yujing was once the boss of the Azure Dragon. No one dared to offend him. Being his subordinate is not bad."

"Wait. That's not Mu Dao Ren from Wudang. Even a famous Wudang master like him will participate in this martial arts competition?"

There were countless whispers, but when a voice sounded, everyone fell silent.

Countless eyes turned to Mu Dao Ren in the crowd. Mu Dao Ren's heart was bleeding, but he could only remain motionless.

Li Chaofeng became the master of the country, and with his world-class martial arts, he simultaneously became the master of the martial arts world.

The northern martial arts families could either choose to release their slaves and abandon their land, or, like the Divine Sword Villa, directly declare surrender.

Or wait for Li Chaofeng to come in person and have a life-and-death fight between the two sides.

The identities of the enemy and ourselves have long been determined, leaving almost no room for negotiation.

However, the famous and upright sects had no intention of confronting Li Chaofeng. Even though some disciples were dissatisfied with Li Chaofeng's policy of equality for all, they put aside their prejudices when they thought of Li Chaofeng raising his butcher knife to kill people.

As for the head elder.
Sects are not aristocratic families, they make a living by teaching their skills and accepting disciples.

Some open a door in the mountains, while others set up a sect in the streets.

The quietness of the mountains and fields allows disciples to concentrate fully when learning martial arts.

Establishing a school in the streets and markets means recruiting disciples widely so that they can learn skills while making a living.

They have no land.

Slave contracts are not necessary as they have disciples in the sect to serve them.

The identity of the enemy and ourselves is unknown.

And if Li Chaofeng wants to rule the world by the same means as governing the country, it depends on whether these local tyrants agree.

The appearance of Kemu Taoist was actually Wudang Sect's way of expressing its desire to surrender.

Shi Yan didn't tell anyone the reason, but Shaolin, which is as famous as Wudang, saw it clearly.

The news that Li Chaofeng is the only god in the world has already spread throughout the world.

However, the emperor was in power and the outcome was still undecided, so Shaolin and Wudang were reluctant to acknowledge Li Chaofeng's true dragon status.

But after Li Chaofeng became the master of the world, no one could question his identity as a true dragon.

Now if Li Chaofeng says that he is the Buddhist Dragon, Buddhism will rise.

Li Chaofeng said that he was the Dragon King of Taoism and that Taoism would be able to revive.

If Li Chaofeng's martial arts skills were not so strong and his style of doing things was not so overbearing, Shaolin and Wudang would have forced Li Chaofeng to choose between Buddhism and Taoism long ago.

Shaolin has been promoting the fact that Li Chaofeng held a white lotus and collected Bodhidharma's relics. The disciples in the sect even respectfully called Li Chaofeng the Eight Heavenly Dragon Bodhisattva.

But Wudang and Li Chaofeng, the real dragon on earth, have no obvious connection.
Shaolin practices Buddhism, Wudang practices Taoism.

The battle of faith has begun, and as the head of Wudang, Shi Yan cannot lag behind.

Allowing Mu Dao Ren, a famous Wudang master who is also the best fighter under the leader, to participate in the martial arts examination is Shi Yan's sincerity to Li Chaofeng.

But what Shi Yan paid for his sincerity was Mu Dao Ren's dignity in the martial arts world.

All the people who participated in this martial arts examination were of humble origins.

The only two people who could catch Mu Daoren's eye were but two people.

Ye Gucheng, Lord of Baiyun City. Xie Xiaofeng, the Third Young Master of the Divine Sword.

But Baiyun City is far away overseas, and Ye Gucheng, who claims to be a sword saint in the world, is actually of barbarian origin.

The third young master of Shenjian represented Shenjian Villa and also expressed the willingness of the northern families to join the Shenlong Dynasty.

Wudang is one of the two leaders of the righteous sect. In the past, they could sit on equal footing with the emperor. Why should they be so humble?
Shi Yan, this junior, is really going too far!!!——
"Boring~"

A long gong sound came from the direction of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and countless people looked over there.

"Should we start?"

Countless whispers were heard. Bai Yujing, dressed in a white brocade robe, looked at the sky, slowly stood up, and then signaled for everyone to be quiet.

All the sounds disappeared, and Bai Yujing looked at the crowd of people of different heights, both men and women in front of him, and bowed with a smile.

"You all have been summoned here, but Bai Yujing did not come to greet you. This is really rude, please forgive me."

Li Chaofeng held a martial arts examination as the ruler of the world, but he had never appeared in public. Bai Yujing's politeness at this time surprised everyone.

Seeing that everyone around was puzzled, Zhu Meng, who was in the middle of the crowd, holding a long knife, asked loudly.

"We are here for the Dragon God's command, why hasn't the Dragon God appeared?"

Bai Yujing looked at the bearded burly man and nodded and replied with a smile.

"Master Zhu, please be patient. The Dragon God is currently making some preparations for the martial arts exam and they will be here soon."

As Bai Yujing finished speaking, a cold voice was heard among the crowd.

"As the saying goes, there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts."

"If we were competing in writing, we would have to prepare, but we, the martial arts people, only compete in martial arts."

"The Forbidden City is so big, we can just find some place to set up a competition arena and let us compete. Why bother preparing so many things?"

When Bai Yujing heard the voice, he looked over the crowd at the man in purple who was speaking and shook his head slightly.

"That won't do. The martial arts examination is the first grand event held by the Shenlong Dynasty for people in the martial arts world to stand out through martial arts."

"If bloodshed occurs, it will only add a layer of murderous sin to the Dragon God's reputation for mercy."

Zhuo Donglai listened to this explanation, his eyes moved slightly, and he nodded silently.

"I see."

Everyone already knows what the martial arts examination will involve.

Qi, Qinggong, and martial arts.

However, the Shenlong Gang has never officially announced how the competition will be held.

This proposal was made only because he was worried that Li Chaofeng's rules were too strict, allowing some weaklings in head-on combat to rely on the rules to surpass the real strong men in the martial arts world.

As he spoke, Bai Yujing also looked at Ding Xi behind him.
Li Chaofeng said he was going to get his exam supplies, why hasn’t he come yet?
Ding Xi shook his head. As for how the martial arts examination was conducted, he only knew how many people had registered.

As for other things, he only knows one side of the story and not the other.

At this moment, everyone heard a loud and deep male voice resounding through heaven and earth.

"My fellow comrades, Li Chaofeng is a little late. I apologize in advance."

Just as he finished speaking, a gust of wind descended from the sky, and a figure stood firmly between Bai Yujing and the heroes of the martial arts world.

Everyone squinted their eyes due to the strong wind.

Looking closely, I saw that the man was wearing a red brocade robe and holding a black iron box that was a meter long.

It was the Red Flame Dragon Li Chaofeng whose whereabouts were unknown.

"Is this person the Scarlet Flame Dragon?"

"Greetings, Lord Dragon God."

Everyone questioned, some saluted, Li Chaofeng smiled slightly, did not return the salute, but just casually slapped the black box in his hand.

Li Chaofeng slapped the black iron box open, and everyone could see clearly that there were a number of black and shiny swords stuck inside.

What does this mean?
Just when everyone was puzzled, a series of sharp whistling sounds came from beside Li Chaofeng, and countless black swords flew into the air under Li Chaofeng's command.

Is this the Thousand Scale Divine Sword?

Although the long sword in front of me is black, it is undoubtedly a long sword.

Everyone was excited as they looked at the dozens of flying black swords in front of them.

As Li Chaofeng pressed down his palm slightly, countless black swords fell instantly. Countless "hissing" sounds were heard, and the black sword bodies sank into the ground.

Amid everyone's puzzled looks, Li Chaofeng looked at everyone and explained.

"This sword is called Kui Niu Sword. It was obtained after years of research by the Dragon Son Pulao Wang Lianhua. It will be the standard weapon of the Shenlong Gang in the future."

"The first test of the martial arts exam is how long it takes to draw this sword."

"From short to long, the shorter the time, the higher the ranking."
