Chapter 71: Shaolin Temple

  At the same time, Yang Chengye also thought of the Beggar Gang's intelligence system, which was simply all-pervasive. If he could get along with them, it would be a great help to grasp the major events in the world.

  If he could befriend Hong Qigong at this time, the future leader of the Beggar Clan, everything would be solved easily.

  When Yang Chengye knew that Hong Qi's martial arts skills were only Taizu Changquan and Wulang Bagua Gun, Yang Chengye thought of teaching him a set of martial arts.

  However, before teaching martial arts, Yang Chengyi had to understand Hong Qi's internal skill cultivation.

  Yang Cheng now knows a variety of skills, including Sound Wave Power, White Python Whip Method, Great Fumo Palm, Kongming Fist, Sanhe Finger and Longcheng Swordsmanship.

  It's really hard to choose one to learn from Hong Qigong.

  When Yang Chengfu was about to test Hong Qi's internal skill, Hong Qi was also very puzzled, but still followed Yang Chengfu's request and competed with him in palm strength.

  Yang Chengye and Hong Qiyun transferred their internal energy, with their palms touching each other. As soon as they made contact, Yang Chengye felt a surge of strong yang energy coming in, which was completely opposite to his own extremely yin and soft internal energy. However, compared to Yang Chengye's internal energy, Hong Qi was still relatively weak.

  After the two parted ways, Yang Cheng asked about the origin of Hong Qigong's inner strength.

  Hong Qigong said: "I was an orphan since childhood, relying on begging for a living. One day, I suddenly fainted under the Shaoshi Mountain."

  "When I woke up, I was already in the Shaolin Temple. Later on, I became a young monk who lit fires and cooked meals, and during my free time, I practiced martial arts with the other monks."

  "But because I was dissolute and often broke temple rules for the sake of satisfying my desires, I was driven out."

  After listening to Hong Qi's narration, Yang Chengye said: "So it seems that your internal skill cultivation all originated from Shaolin?"

  Hong Qī nodded and said, "It can be said that way."

  At this time, Yang Chengye also knew what technique he should pass on, which was the "Great Demon-Subduing Palm".

  The mighty palm of Da Fumo is in stark contrast to Yang Chengyi's extremely yin and soft inner power, making it impossible for him to exert its due might. Perhaps in the hands of Hong Qigong, it can be used to great effect.

  When Yang Chengye expressed his own ideas to Hong Qi, Hong Qi was immediately excited.

  "Yang brothers!"

  Hong Qigong said: "To be honest, in a few more months it will be the Beggar Clan's grand assembly to elect the new leader, and at that time I will only have this little bit of skill, so winning or losing is hard to predict."

  "If I can master the Big Dipper Demon Palm, as a follow-up move, I'm sure the chances of winning will be very high."

  Yang Cheng asked: "What is the Beggar Clan's Great Contest?"

  Hong Qī glanced around and said in a low voice, "The leader is already old and the old injuries can never be recovered. The leader must choose a successor and has talked to me several times about it. He intends to pass on the position of leader to me, but there are too many people eyeing the position, so he cannot show favoritism."

  Therefore, the leader of the gang wants to hold a martial arts competition on Junshan Mountain to select his successor.

  After listening to Hong Qigong's story, Yang Zhenyi finally understood why Hong Qi was so excited when he heard that he would be passing on the "Big Dipper Magic Palm" to him.

  Yang Chengye recited the operational route of "Da Fumo Zhang" to Hong Qi, and unexpectedly, Hong Qi remembered it all after just one recitation, and even recited it backwards fluently.

  Yang Chengye spent three days guiding Hong Qi to cultivate the "Great Fumo Palm", and only left after Hong Qi had fully grasped it.

  Before leaving, Hong Qi made a fist at Yang Chengye and said: "Brother Yang, great kindness doesn't need to be thanked. From now on, wherever I, Hong Qi, can be of use, just say so."

  Yang Chengye smiled and said: "Brother Hong, you're being too serious."

  Hong Qigong said solemnly: "Yang brothers, I am serious."

  Yang Chengye didn't know that in this era, only masters and apprentices or fathers and sons would pass on martial arts. Although Yang Chengye and Hong Qi didn't have a master-apprentice relationship, they had a teacher-student bond.

  Yang Chengye had no choice but to agree and promised Hong Qigong that he would go to Jun Mountain half a year later to watch the Beggar Clan's martial arts competition.

  Mount Song is located in the northwest of Dengfeng, Henan, adjacent to the ancient capital Luoyang in the west and Zhengzhou in the east. It belongs to the Funiu Mountain range and is the birthplace of Sanjiao culture as well as an important birthplace of Chinese civilization.

  Mount Song was formerly known as "Outer Fang", and during the Xia and Shang dynasties it was called "Chong Gao" or "Chong Mountain". During the Western Zhou dynasty, it was called "Yue Mountain". Later, with Mount Song as the central peak, Tai Mountain to its left and Hua Mountain to its right, Mount Song was designated as the middle mountain of the Five Great Mountains, and began to be known as "Zhongyue Songshan" or "Mount Song, the Central Peak".

  Mount Song consists of Taishi Mountain and Shaoshi Mountain, with 72 peaks. The highest peak is Lianhua Peak, which reaches a height of over 1,500 meters.

  The Shaolin Temple is located on Mount Song, and is known as the "Number One Temple in the World". It is famous for its Shaolin Kung Fu, and has the reputation of being the origin of all Kung Fu under heaven.

  The Shaolin Temple was first built in the 19th year of the Taihe period of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and was founded by Emperor Xiaowen of Northern Wei. It prospered during the Tang Dynasty, and each subsequent dynasty carried out large-scale expansions.

  Shaolin Kung Fu is unmatched in the world, with disciples all over the place. Among them are Shaolin's 72 ultimate skills, Shaolin palm method, Shaolin fist method, Shaolin staff method, Shaolin spear method, Shaolin knife method, Shaolin sword method, and so on.

  His master Dharma is even more proficient in 72 absolute skills and is known as the number one person under heaven.

  At this time, Yang Chengye stood under Mount Shaoshi, looking at the majestic and magnificent Shaolin Temple.

  The gate of Shaolin Temple is high and grand, the central gate is wide open, and the stream of pilgrims is endless. The faint sound of bells comes from inside the temple, making people's hearts calm and peaceful, a harmonious scene.

  Yang Chengye walked into the temple gate, followed by incense guests to the Mahavira Hall to burn incense and worship Buddha, and also threw a hundred taels of silver ticket into the merit box.

  The monk guarding the temple saw Yang Chengye being so generous and joined his palms together in respect: "Thank you, benefactor!"

  Yang Chengye asked the gatekeeper monk: "May I ask Master, is the Great Enlightened One in the temple?"

  Upon hearing this, the monk on duty immediately became alert and asked: "What business does the donor have with Master Jueyuan?"

  Yang Chengye looked at the appearance of the monk guarding him, and was puzzled. Wasn't he just looking for the enlightened monk? Why be so cautious, like preventing a thief from stealing from himself?

  Yang Chengye's eyes rolled around and he said: "I am the secular relative of Master Juewu, I want to visit him, but don't know..."

  Before Yang Chengye finished speaking, the monk guarding the door ran away, as if he had seen his creditor and was escaping.

  Amitabha Buddha

  Just as Yang Chengye was about to go and ask other monks, an old monk with white whiskers and eyebrows came over accompanied by the guard monk.

  "The founder of our sect is precisely this Patriarch who attained enlightenment under the guidance of Master Shi."

  The monk guarding pointed at Yang Chengye and said to the white eyebrowed monk.

  "What did the donor come to realize for?"

  The old monk with white eyebrows politely bowed to Yang Chengye.

  Yang Chengye joined his hands together and said to the White Eyebrowed Monk: "Greetings, Master. I am a lay relative of the Awakened Master. I have come on an important matter to see the Awakened Master. Would you be so kind as to inform him?"

  Upon hearing this, the old monk with white eyebrows fell into thought for a moment before saying, "Please follow me to the rear hall to discuss further."

  The old monk with white eyebrows finished speaking and made a gesture of invitation to Yang Chengye.
