Chapter 4 - The Holy Monk-Nameless

It turns out that this is not the realm that Song Qingshu originally thought was the The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber, but a strange world. Hearing Zhou Zhiruo mention the couple of Guo Jing and Huang Rong guarding Xiangyang city, as well as Dongfang Bubai on the Blackwood Cliff, and Xiao Feng, the great king of the Qidan Southern Court who once set off a bloody storm in the central plains jianghu ...... Song Qingshu's face was wonderful. After a number of interviews, Song Qingshu finally determined with an odd expression that this was a world constructed by the fourteen novels of Jin Yong. In this world, Song and Liao fought for more than a hundred years, each won or lost. As a result, two Jurchen tribe emerged from the back of Liao, one was the Blackwater Jurchen tribe and the other was the Jianzhou Jurchen tribe. The Blackwater Jurchen tribe established the Jin Kingdom, and after several battles, they directly attacked the hinterland of Liao, and Liao was almost destroyed. Fortunately, another nomadic Mongolian tribe rose up on the grassland and started to raid the back of Jin, so Jin stopped attacking Liao and turned around to deal with Mongolia. Nowadays, the two countries are at a stalemate in the Yellow River basin, at the line of Chang'an Tongguan. Liao was able to take a respite and was trapped in the area of Shanxi and Inner Mongolia. However, a few years ago, the Liao emperor Yelu Hongji got the war god Xiao Feng, the king of the Southern Court, and allied with Mongolia, and gradually there were signs of revival in Liao. The Jianzhou Jurchen tribe established the Manchu Kingdom, attacked and destroyed the internal and external problems of the Ming Kingdom, and occupied a vast area of Liaodong-Hebei-Shandong-Yangzhou. Nowadays, the only remaining kingdom established by the Han Chinese is Song in the south of the Yangtze River, defending itself against the enemy armies of the nomads to the south by virtue of its natural dangers. Today, Mongolia is the strongest in the world. But the battle to unify the Mongolian ministries was extremely fierce, the Khan Temujin's sons were all killed in battle, the same generation and nephew generation of generals also barely survived. Fortunately, the third generation of kings was very good. Sixth grandson Xulie Wu followed the Khan Temujin rate Mongolia's main western expedition. They were divided into two groups, one to attack Anushtegin dynasty and the Eastern European confederations, and the other to attack the powerful Persian and Arabian states. Before the Western expedition, Temujin left his late sworn brother - Mu Huali's son King Ruyang - Tsa Khan, also known as Zhao Min's father to lead an army to the Western region, suppress the Ming Sect as well as Hui tribes, and properly hold back the Western Xia, so that the Western Xia has no time to expand. He sent his fourth grandson - Kublai to lead an army to raid the Jin Kingdom on the front of Chang'an-Tongguan, and sent his eldest grandson - Mongol to lead an army to attack the Song Kingdom in the south from Sichuan. After the death of Mongol, Kublai collected his troops. Now he is in the Wancheng zone of Nanyang, attacking Jin Kingdom Chang'an Luoyang in the north and fighting Song Dynasty Xiangyang in the south, and he is in the limelight among the Mongolia kings. He left the seventh grandson Alim Buge to lead an army to stay in Mongolia prairie, preying on the Manchu. But the Manchu young emperor Kang Xi is also an ambitious generation, he himself guarded Yanjing. His men King Pingxi Wu Sangui guarded the Shanhai Pass, Prince Bao Hong Li guarded Shengjing, forming a position of assistance. Outside, he formed an alliance with the Jin Dynasty of the Blackwater Jurchen race, and the momentum surprisingly vaguely overpowered the allied forces of Alim Buge and Liao. Of course, the Tufan and Dali Duan, these small frontier countries are just languishing, no more details. After digesting all this in shock, Song Qingshu still had doubts and fears. Is this a fusion of Jin Yong's fourteen novel worlds or not? A bright idea, he thought now Shaolin Temple has a person who can certainly give himself the answer. Song Qingshu said to go out for a walk, Zhou Zhiruo nodded unconcernedly. Song Qingshu smiled and kept chanting as he walked along: "This woman's feelings for her husband are really thin. It seems that only Zhang Wuji can cause waves of her emotions..." After a long time, he remembered that now his first priority is to heal his meridians and then live in this super chaotic world, not to be jealous of Zhang Wuji. Song Qingshu came to the Shaolin Temple's Sutra Pavilion, explained his purpose with the guest monk. Knowing that he was the husband of the head of Emei, the guest monk didn't dare to treat him lightly. Seeing that he just wanted to read the sutras, the guest monk registered and then guided him in: "Young warrior Song, the Temple has always welcomed people who have a fated interest to read the sutras. The first floor contains various versions of sutras, so you can look through them at your leisure. However, the second floor of the Sutra Pavilion is where the temple's martial arts texts are located. Young warrior Song is not a member of our sect, so I hope you will not make things difficult for me." "Thank you, master, I understand." Song Qingshu knew that he said politely. The second floor of the Sutra Pavilion is a forbidden place in Shaolin Temple, and has always been guarded by high level experts. Not to mention the fact that he now has no power, even if his martial arts skills are not damaged, he couldn’t go up. Song Qingshu flipped through the sutras aimlessly. He was not aiming at this, just flipping through it, instead he was looking around for a certain figure. After turning around for most of the day and not finding the person he was looking for, Song Qingshu couldn't hide his disappointment and thought to himself that he had guessed wrong. "Huh?" Song Qingshu unknowingly turned to a dusty corner and saw the three words "lankavatara sutra". Thinking that the "The Nine Man’s Power" was hidden in here originally, he excitedly reached out his hand and turned it over. Although he knew that Zhang Wuji had already learned The Nine Man’s Power, proving that this sutra had been lost from the Sutra Pavilion, he was still holding on to a slight expectation with undying hope. As expected, it was empty, and Song Qingshu sighed in disappointment. "Amitabha Buddha!" A Buddhist hymn behind him startled Song Qingshu. He turned around and found a gray-clad monk standing quietly behind him without knowing when. The other party is wearing the lowest level of Shaolin Temple clothing, holding a broken broom, his body is dry and thin, withered appearance, a few sparse long beard has been all white, in anyone's view is just a dying old monk. Song Qingshu is mixed with five thoughts. He did not expect that there really was this holy monk- Nameless who really existed. "I, Song Qingshu, have met the master." Song Qingshu gave a respectful salute. "Huh?" Nameless didn't expect Song Qingshu to be so respectful and was greatly curious, "I'm not a master. It's just that I saw Young Warrior Song walking around in the Sutra Pavilion and only skimmed over the other sutras. Until you saw this book "lankavatara sutra", you did not hesitate to pick it up, and when you looked at the content, you looked disappointed. I was curious before I showed up to meet you." "I held on to a fluke, and in the end, I found that I was really disillusioned, which is why I seemed a little disappointed." Song Qingshu hesitated and said politely. "I've been in the Sutra Pavilion for over forty years. If I remember correctly, there was once a copy of The Nine Man’s Power inside this Lankavatara Sutra, but it was later being taken away. Dare I ask if it's the thing Young Warrior Song is looking for?" Nameless was indeed curious. Song Qingshu was young. How did he know the secret of it, and it looked like he knew quite a bit about him. Having been exposed by him, Song Qingshu was also a bit embarrassed: "I am not hiding from the master, I am indeed looking to see if The Nine Man’s Power are still inside." "So it's like that," said Nameless burst out in a hearty laugh. He didn't ask him why he knew such secret matters, instead he asked with concern, "If I'm not wrong, Young Warrior Song's meridians are all broken now, so even if you found The Nine Man’s Power, you can't cultivate it, so why bother with it again?" "I hope that Master can save me." Thinking that the other party might be the only person in the world who could save him, Song Qingshu lost his composure a bit in his excitement. "Young warrior Song's life is now safe, so why do you need to be saved?" Nameless helped him up, "If you are wanting to regain your martial arts, please forgive me for being blunt. Young warrior Song's meridians are broken, it is no longer humanly possible to restore them, and there is nothing I can do."
