Murong Fu knew about Wang Yuyan's situation, of course, because he was the one who arranged for Wang Yuyan to stay here.
However, she never expected that Li Chengqian and Wang Yuyan would have some kind of predestined relationship.
Although this would make it easier to persuade Mr. Li to come out of seclusion, Murong Fu still harbored a lingering resentment.
Everyone in the inn was discussing Ouyang Feng and Wang Chongyang.
In particular, Wang Chongyang's rule that forbade the Quanzhen Sect from learning the Nine Yin Manual has attracted much attention.
"Brother, what does Wang Chongyang of your Great Song Dynasty think?"
"Why are the Quanzhen Sect members forbidden from learning the Nine Yin Manual?"
"This is one of the two most extraordinary books in the world!"
"You don't understand. Wang Chongyang had foresight. The Nine Yin Manual was coveted by the entire martial arts world."
"It's already like this even before the news got out; if it did get out, there would be an uproar!"
"Exactly, no one can guarantee that every generation within a sect will produce outstanding talents..."
"Wang Chongyang did this for the sake of the long-term plan of the Quanzhen Sect."
The people of the Ming Dynasty's martial arts world nodded in agreement upon hearing this explanation.
Just then, a voice came from among the gossiping martial arts enthusiasts.
"If that's the case, then why has Buddhism endured for so long?"
"The Yi Jin Jing and the Seventy-Two Shaolin Arts are not weak at all!"
"Also, have you forgotten that Mr. Li didn't mention the number one spot on the Sword God Ranking?"
After he finished speaking, the entire inn fell silent instantly.
Everyone looked at a young man in the corner.
""
How come this kid has such a unique perspective on things?
However, what he said does seem to make some sense, and regarding the number one spot on the Sword God Ranking, I realized I had actually forgotten to ask.
After Yan Nantian, the second-ranked swordsman on the Sword God Ranking, appeared, his attention was focused on Yaoyue from the Yihua Palace.
In addition, the Grandmaster Ranking sounded a bit strange, so I completely forgot about it.
"Ahem! What this young man said makes sense."
"Mr. Li, did you forget to mention the Sword God Ranking just now?"
"Yes!"
""
Don't admit it so readily, okay? If you do that, people will only think you did it on purpose, but they'll think we're stupid.
"hehe!"
"Mr. Li is indeed very honest. I suppose Mr. Li must have accidentally forgotten just now."
"I didn't forget. I did it on purpose, waiting for you to ask."
"You haven't asked at all. I was just questioning whether you have a memory problem."
"Has Mr. Li come up with a solution yet?"
"I've figured it out. You don't have memory problems; you're just not smart."
brush!
Upon hearing this, all the martial arts practitioners in the inn drew their weapons.
"Mr. Li, what you're saying is somewhat humiliating."
"Yes, a little. How about I answer one of your questions for free?"
"It's a word."
The martial arts practitioners below sheathed their weapons and sat obediently, their movements as fluid as flowing water.
The guest in the top-tier room:
Is it this silky smooth?
Chapter 255 The Secret to Shaolin Temple's Enduring Prosperity: Can We Practice Ambidextrous Fighting?
Li Chengqian smiled and said, "I will definitely keep my word."
"What would you all like to know?"
"But let's make this clear first, with so many of you, it's not easy for me to answer just one person's question."
"So you'd better all come up with a question together."
Li Chengqian's words immediately caused a commotion below the inn.
The opportunity to ask Mr. Li a question is as valuable as a mountain of gold. If Mr. Li does not want to answer, even a mountain of gold cannot change his mind.
Now that this opportunity has come, those low-level江湖客 (jianghu ke, a term referring to people who are skilled in martial arts and chivalry) naturally cherish it immensely.
"Why don't we ask about the whereabouts of the Nine Yin Manual? Mr. Li said there's a place where the complete Nine Yin Manual is located."
"no!"
There is only one copy of the Nine Yin Manual. Although there is a complete copy in one place, who knows if it is in the hands of a master?
"And even if there are no experts guarding it, and there's only one copy of the scripture, how should we divide it?"
After much discussion, the consensus was that no one should ask about secret manuals, treasures, or weapons.
Because it would lead to unequal distribution of spoils.
Someone on the 27th did propose a plan to share the cheat codes, but it was immediately rejected by everyone.
I learned martial arts manuals so I could crush you all. If everyone knew them, what good would they do?
Just when everyone was at a loss, a wandering swordsman spoke up.
"Since we can't ask about weapon manuals or similar things, why don't we ask Mr. Li how to develop the sect?"
"In the martial arts world, apart from Shaolin Temple, almost no other lineage can remain prosperous for a long time."
"Isn't this question more valuable than secret manuals and weapons?"
Upon hearing this, the martial arts practitioners below immediately reached a consensus.
Most of these people have a lineage from a sect, although it is very likely that the sect only has one or two people.
However, everyone still cares a lot about the matter of inheritance, after all, no one wants their martial arts to be lost.
Even if one's martial arts skills are not that good.
At the same time, this issue has also attracted the attention of Building No. 1.
Shaolin Temple has almost always been prosperous in the alternate world of martial arts, a characteristic that is the envy of many.
"Mr. Li, we've decided what to ask."
"We want to ask how to ensure the long-term prosperity of a sect or lineage."
"Also, could you mention, why aren't you announcing the number one on the Sword God Ranking?"
Upon hearing the two questions raised below, Li Chengqian's lips curled into a smile.
"I must say, this is a very good question, but there are many things involved in the succession of a sect."
"I can't say for sure, but I can tell you one of the secrets to Shaolin Temple's enduring prosperity."
"This method is something that any of you can do."
Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes widened in surprise.
"Mr. Li, isn't the Shaolin Temple's enduring prosperity due to its numerous martial arts masters?"
Upon hearing this, Li Chengqian waved his hand and laughed, "Stop joking. A master can only determine the rise and fall of a sect."
"We absolutely cannot maintain the sect's long-term prosperity. Wang Chongyang was once the undisputed number one in the martial arts world of the Song Dynasty."
"But everyone can see how much the Quanzhen Sect's standing in the martial arts world has declined since his death."
"The same goes for Shaolin Temple. If it didn't have certain methods, how could it have remained prosperous for so long?"
"Monks also go to see Buddha; they cannot live forever."
"I'll answer this question in the next episode of the Miscellaneous Talk. Also, I'll talk about the secondary list of the Ming Dynasty Rouge Ranking."
As for why it wasn't mentioned that the number one on the Sword God Ranking...
"The reason is simple: the number one on the Sword God Ranking is too amazing. Xie Xiaofeng was disheartened after seeing him."
"Not to mention the other swordsmen, there are currently several peerless swordsmen preparing for a life-or-death battle."
"I don't want this to distract them. After all, this kind of duel is very exciting. What if they don't give it their all?"
"That's a real shame. The announcement of the number one Sword God Ranking will have to wait until after these two duels."
After he finished speaking, everyone swallowed hard.
The Shaolin Temple's enduring prosperity is not due to its skilled practitioners, but rather to certain methods.
This news is shocking. You know, Shaolin Temple is regarded as a sacred place of martial arts, largely because of its enduring prosperity.
Now that this secret is about to be revealed, can Shaolin Temple still maintain its status in the martial arts world?
The major sects in the martial arts world are probably in an uproar!
"Mr. Li, is she really that amazing?"
Ximen Chuixue came out of the room.
Li Chengqian glanced at him and said calmly, "Although I really don't want to tell you the truth."
"But that's the truth. Everyone's talent has a limit, and so does their strength."
"A swordsman's heart is far more important than the sword in his hand."
"Xie Xiaofeng's talent and desire to win far surpass yours. Even if Yan Nantian were to come in person, he might not be able to break the sword in his heart."
