It was March, and the flowers were blooming in spring.
People who were tired of the noisy and busy life in the city took advantage of the weekend to call their friends or take their families out of the city for an outing, to experience the leisure life of returning to nature.
The Rain Prayer Platform at the top of the Northern Mountain Range of Yan Mountain was a good place for an outing because of its dangerous terrain, high peaks and dangerous roads, and the ecological environment had not been too damaged by modern civilization.
Early in the morning, the parking lot of the Rain Prayer Platform was full of all kinds of private cars. People got out of the cars, took the luggage and cooking utensils prepared in advance, and prepared to hike to the Rain Prayer Platform to feel the heroic feeling of being on the top of the mountain, and to have a picnic or something for leisure and entertainment.
However, the people who came to climb the mountain today were destined to return disappointed. The only way up the mountain was blocked by a large number of soldiers, and the cordon was pulled. In the name of military exercise, the Rain Prayer Platform was designated as a military restricted area, and no unrelated people were allowed to climb the mountain.
Although people felt a little disappointed, the Rain Prayer Platform was not the only good place for an outing in Yan Mountain. It was not a big deal to temporarily change the fixed itinerary, and they would not return disappointed.
Therefore, the huge parking lot of the mountain was empty before ten o 'clock, and only a dozen military cars were parked there.
At 10: 30, a motorcade of more than 20 cars drove into the parking lot in a mighty manner. Men and women walked out of the cars with steady steps, full of vigor and extraordinary bearing. There were monks and laymen in this group, old and young, and most of them wore exercise clothes. There were also many bald monks and Taoist priests in Taoist robes, which looked very strange. After showing the relevant certificates in front of the checkpoint, they began to climb the mountain one after another.
"Chairman Zhou, who are the two people fighting today?"
The mountain road of the Rain Prayer Platform was extremely steep and dangerous, but these men and women, who were at least in their forties, walked as if they were walking on flat ground. An old man with white hair and beard in white exercise clothes asked a middle-aged man who was the leader.
"Well, Leader Liu, I don't know, either. I only know that both sides are rare martial arts geniuses, and it is definitely the battle of the peak experts since the founding of Shenzhou."
The eyes of the middle-aged man called Chairman Zhou flickered, and he explained vaguely.
"The battle of the peak?"
Everyone was in an uproar, and their eyes flashed with expectation.
"Are there any members of our Shenzhou Martial Arts Association on the two sides?"
Sect Leader Liu asked persistently.
"Ahem."
Chairman Zhou coughed awkwardly and said embarrassedly, "Although we are an association that includes all the major martial arts sects in Shenzhou, I'm ashamed to say that any one of the two parties in today's battle could defeat me with one move. I want them to join our Martial Arts Association, but our temple is too small to accommodate such a big Buddha."
"Any random person can defeat Guild Leader Zhou in a single move? Isn't that a little too exaggerated? "
Everyone's expression changed, and their eyes widened in disbelief.
No wonder they couldn't believe it. Zhou Changqing could become the president of the Shenzhou Martial Arts Association, so there was no doubt about his strength. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to convince the public to be the president of the Martial Arts Association.
"It's not an exaggeration. Everyone will know soon. Hehe."
Zhou Changqing was also a man who cared about his reputation. In front of the heads and disciples of the major sects in Shenzhou, he could not help but blush and force a smile.
Recently, the martial arts world of Shenzhou had been troubled. The genius disciples of the major sects had come out one after another, and all of them were extremely arrogant and thought that they were the best in the world. Every two or three days, they would fight in the name of learning from each other, and even ordinary people were affected. It caused public opinion everywhere, and people were in a panic. As the president of the Martial Arts Association, he was also badly battered, and he was busy running around to clean up the mess of the major sects.
This time, all the major sects were temporarily organized.
It was Lord Wu Hou's decision to let the heads of these sects bring their genius disciples to observe and learn. On the one hand, it was beneficial for them to broaden their horizons and promote the prosperity of martial arts in Shenzhou; on the other hand, it was to give them a warning, lest they were too arrogant and didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth.
"Amitabha. Who are the seniors and masters in this battle?"
Master Zhikong, the abbot of Shaolin Temple, chanted the name of Buddha and asked softly.
"They are not seniors and masters, but two up-and-coming youngsters, and they are only in their twenties."
Master Zhikong was a person of virtue and prestige, so President Zhou didn't dare to neglect him and answered honestly.
He didn't know how old Ding Ning was, but he knew that Ding Ning was only in his early twenties, so he estimated that the other party's age was not too old.
Of course, only such a disparity between the younger generation could make the genius disciples of these famous sects realize the huge gap between them and the real geniuses, and put away their arrogance and conceit.
"Inviting the heads of the major sects to watch the martial arts competition between the young people in their twenties, isn't this thinking too highly of them?"
A young man in white with a haughty face and a sword on his back said disdainfully after hearing President Zhou.
President Zhou knew this person, he was the genius disciple of Qingcheng Sect, Yu Jianfeng, and he was one of the main culprits of the recent challenge storm.
"Yes, President Zhou, aren't you making a big fuss over a minor issue? Letting so many seniors to watch the martial arts competition between two juniors, and also deliberately praising them, are they the descendants of President Zhou's relatives?"
Another tall and sturdy young man wearing bright yellow training clothes ridiculed in an eccentric manner.
This person was the successor of Bajiquan, Li Yunxiao. He was born with divine strength and extraordinary strength, and his attainment in Bajiquan was superb. It was extremely firm and extremely overbearing.
Since his debut, he had challenged 32 people, big and small, and he had never lost once. Even the experts of the older generation were defeated by him, and he had never shown his true strength.
It was said that if he used his full strength, even his master, Zhao Yuanhua, might not be his opponent, and he was praised as the number one genius of Bajiquan.
Becoming famous at a young age, he was proud of himself, and he had an arrogant and unruly character. Facing a senior like President Zhou, his words were full of needles, and he didn't show any basic respect at all.
Although Yu Jianfeng's words were unpleasant to hear, at least he was tactful, but Li Yunxiao's words were too unpleasant to hear, and he actually questioned President Zhou's character in public.
"Yunxiao, what are you saying? President Zhou's character is obvious to all. How could he do such a despicable thing? Fortunately, President Zhou is broad-minded and won't lower himself to the level of a junior like you. Otherwise, I would definitely punish you according to the sect rules. "
Zhao Yuanhua saw that Zhou Changqing's face had suddenly darkened, and he hurriedly reprimanded him. However, he didn't have the slightest intention of asking Li Yunxiao to apologize, and it went without saying that he was protecting him.
Li Yunxiao curled his lips, and his face was full of dissatisfaction, but he didn't say anything else. After all, he still had to give face to his master, or he would be scolded for not respecting his master.
Zhou Changqing's face was livid, and his lungs were about to explode. He had been the president of the Martial Arts Association for more than ten years, and even the leaders of the major sects were polite to him. He didn't expect that today, a junior would question his character in public.
However, Zhao Yuanhua, the sly old fox, had always been protective. He spoke first, and it seemed like he was reprimanding Li Yunxiao, but in fact, he was blocking his mouth so that he couldn't vent his anger. Otherwise, he would become a laughing stock for not being broad-minded and bullying the young.
"Although Brother Yunxiao's words are biased, they are not without reason. Which of the seniors present is not an influential figure in the martial arts world? What ability do these two young men have to mobilize so many people to trouble these highly respected seniors to come and watch the battle? Don't you think too highly of them, President Zhou?"
Before the first wave subsided, another wave arose. Another young talent interrupted. Although his words were a little euphemistic, there was a hidden needle in his words, and it was full of disdain.
"That's right, Fellow Gao Xiang is right. Why would there be a need for the leaders to come and watch the fight for two young people in their early twenties? We're already giving them enough face by coming here."
"That's right. I think President Zhou is exaggerating and thinking too highly of them. Even if they're geniuses, how powerful can they be? When we get there, I, Qing Yangzi, will definitely ask for advice from these two geniuses. "
"Brother Qing Yangzi is right. However, I, Tang Ke 'er, would like to ask for advice from these two geniuses first. I hope that all of you won't fight with me."
"Haha, I heard that Miss Tang won the good name of the Thousand-Hand Guanyin the moment she made her debut. Your exquisite hidden weapon techniques are the true teachings of the Tang Sect. Later, I will definitely admire Miss Tang's techniques."
"That's right, that's right. The Tang Sect's hidden weapons and poisons are the best in the world. Miss Tang, please be lenient later. After all, this is a spar and not a duel of life and death. If someone really dies, it won't be easy to clean up the mess."
"That's right. I will naturally know when to stop. After all, he's a young man that President Zhou thinks highly of. If something really happens, it won't be easy to explain to President Zhou."
…
A group of arrogant and ignorant young people were talking and laughing as if there was no one else around them. It was as if as long as they made a move, the two geniuses in today's duel would be like clay chickens and pottery dogs.
What annoyed Zhou Changqing the most was that their masters and elders actually allowed them to talk nonsense without any regard for their status. Not only did they not feel ashamed, but they also felt proud of it. They didn't even reprimand them. Instead, they stroked their beards with a gratified look on their faces.
It seemed that the reason why these young people had become so arrogant was because of the pampering and connivance of their elders. How arrogant must they be to dare to be so arrogant and conceited?
Zhou Changqing was, after all, very good at keeping his composure. He quickly calmed down and a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes. Today's matter made him feel that these leaders of the major sects, who had always been calm and steady, seemed to have changed into different people. It was as if they had become fearless and full of confidence. They didn't even put him, the president of the Dance Association, in their eyes.
He quietly glanced at the leaders of Shaolin, Wudang, Tianshan, Emei, and Huashan, who had never said a word. When he saw them frowning and showing displeasure on their faces, he felt a little relieved.
If the leaders of these famous sects also became domineering and insufferably arrogant like the leaders of these sects, it would be a big problem.
Although he did not know why these sects had become like this, as the president of the Martial Arts Association, he was extremely meticulous. He felt that some unknown changes must have happened in their sects, which gave them enough confidence to be so arrogant and domineering.
But he couldn't figure out what had happened. He decided to immediately report to the National Warrior's Mansion after today's matter and must thoroughly investigate this matter.
With the indulgence of their elders, these arrogant young people became more and more unscrupulous. Not only did they not put Zhou Changqing in their eyes, but they also provoked the famous sects like Shaolin and Wudang. They even publicly challenged the disciples of the younger generation of Shaolin and Wudang.
No matter how self-restrained the disciples of the famous sects were, they couldn't bear being repeatedly provoked, so they immediately set a date for the challenge and accepted their challenges.
In this way, when this group of dozens of people came to the top of the mountain, they had been clearly divided into two groups.
One group was led by President Zhou from the famous sects, while the other group was led by the arrogant disciples.
