Chapter 262 Divine Martial Arts

"Hoo ho!"

It's night, the sky is dark, the north wind is blowing, and the snowflakes are gradually falling.

A group of people came to a dilapidated temple.

A group of three people.

The leader is a young man in white clothes. He is as handsome as jade, and his robes are as flawless as snow. There are not many decorations. There is only a jade pendant hanging on his waist. There is a faint flow of brilliance and even a strange fragrance. In the cold and stern temperament, there is another splendor, and I don't know which prince or prince he is.

After the young man, I saw two more people, but they were two huge men, extremely tall and huge, like bear bears.

Each of the two people was carrying something behind their backs. It was rectangular and about the same size as their bodies. It was covered tightly with black cloth. They didn't know what it was. There was only a faint chill, especially on this windy, snowy and cold night.

The temple had been abandoned for an unknown number of years and was in a very dilapidated state. There were holes all around the walls. The wind and snow blew into it, making people feel cold all over their bodies. They could not feel the warmth of the shelter of the house at all.

In the center of the temple, there stood a statue of a god, a statue with a vague face and a mutilated body. It was covered with spider webs and covered with dust. It was not known how long it had been since it had received incense. Even the stone incense offering table was covered with a thick layer of dust. Dust.

The three of them came to the temple. The young man in white found a corner and sat down, while the two sturdy men gathered dry firewood from the surroundings and lit a fire, which gave the dilapidated temple a little more light and warmth.

From beginning to end, neither of them ever took off the rectangular thing covered with black cloth. Although it was a little inconvenient to move, they still carried it on their backs. They did not sit down after the bonfire was raised, but stood quietly aside, as if If two high towers and two high walls block the cold wind.

The young man in white sat down alone, and the two big men handed over another package. After opening it, they saw a few cold steamed buns and some dried meat strips, which were roasted by the campfire.

After a while, the cold steamed buns were heated by the campfire, exuding a wisp of burnt sweetness, and the iron-hard meat jerky also gained warmth and softened slightly.

The young man picked up the steamed bun, tore it into his mouth, and ate it in silence.

at this time……

"squeak!!!"

With a heartbreaking sound, the crumbling temple door opened, and the cold wind howled in.

"!!!"

The young man moved for a moment, then raised his head and looked coldly.

The two sturdy men also turned their gazes and looked at the temple door with cold eyes.

The atmosphere became tense for a moment.

Then I saw someone walking into the temple.

He turned out to be a little beggar, with unkempt hair and ragged clothes. He was holding a green bamboo stick in one hand and a broken bowl in the other. He looked very embarrassed, as if he had been driven into the temple by the wind and snow.

Seeing someone in the temple, the beggar was also startled. He stopped and looked carefully. Seeing the cold eyes of the two big men, he immediately had a look of retreat on his face. But when he looked back, he saw a cold wind coming, and they asked him to fight again. Leave without moving your legs.

He had no choice but to bend down, lower his head to please me and said: "I'm sorry for you, I'm allowing you to take shelter from the wind and snow. It's so cold that I'm dying, but I won't let you get in the way!"

In response, the two big men were speechless and just looked back at the young man in white.

The young man in white was also silent, and then he didn't say much and just threw out the steamed bun in his hand.

The steamed bun fell to the ground, stained with a lot of dust, and turned gray and black.

"Thank you sir for the reward, thank you sir for the reward!"

The beggar did not dislike it, but was overjoyed. He quickly bent down to pick up the buns, took a bite and thanked the three of them again and again.

Seeing this, the young man turned his eyes back, tore off the dried meat and put it in his mouth, ignoring the beggar.

The beggar did not ask for trouble. He took half a steamed bun and shrank to the other corner of the ruined temple.

For a moment, the atmosphere was inexplicable.

After the young man finished eating the dry food, he sat quietly without saying a word.

Two big men stand at the back left, like sculptures, and the iron tower does not move.

suddenly……

"squeak!"

There was another sharp sound, and the temple door was pushed open again.

The two of them entered the temple, one old and the other young.

The old man's beard and hair are all white, but he is still energetic and has a scholarly and elegant air. It is not known which academy he is from.

The young one is a girl, about seven or eight years old, with a pink and jade-like appearance, wearing a bright red dress, which contrasts sharply with her snow-white skin.

An old man and a young man walked into the temple. When they saw the three young men, they were not frightened. They raised their hands and said, "I and my grandson are passing by here. Come in and take shelter from the wind and snow. Please forgive me for any trouble!"

The young man glanced at the two of them, frowned slightly, and saw hesitation, but finally suppressed the thoughts in his mind and said coldly: "In the land of no one, you can do whatever you want!"

After that, he ignored it.

"Thank you!"

The old man didn't care. He bowed his hand and led the girl into the temple.

As soon as you enter the temple, you will see the statue of the deity.

The old man led the girl straight to the stage, then waved his sleeves and robes to sweep away the thick dust on the altar table. Then he untied the package, took out three steamed buns and three sticks of incense, and placed them on the table devoutly. , and began to pay homage to the statue.

The whole movement was meticulous, but not stiff at all.

Seeing this scene, the young man's frown deepened even more, and the two big men changed their positions without leaving any trace.

But the old man was completely unaware of it and paid homage to the statue on his own.

When the girl next to him saw this, she immediately asked in a childlike voice: "Grandpa, don't you always say that the child has strange powers and confuses the gods without words? Why did you worship this unknown god today?"

"This is not a god!"

When the old man heard this, he shook his head and asked the girl, "Huan'er, do you know whose statue this is?"

"this……"

The girl bit her finger, looked at the statue, then shook her head and said, "Huan'er doesn't know."

The words are childish, but they are not false.

I don’t know how long this temple has been abandoned, and this statue has no one to maintain it. Time has passed and the years have eroded it, its face has long been blurred, and its body has been mutilated. Under the dust, who can recognize it?

The girl was ignorant, but she said sideways: "This kid knows!"

"oh?"

The old man let out a green sigh, turned around and saw a little beggar with unkempt hair and ragged clothes in the corner. He didn't care and just asked: "Then tell me?"

The little beggar grinned: "This is the temple of Xu Qingyang, the first ancestor of Shenwu, the Great Emperor of Tianwu!"

"Crack!"

Before he finished speaking, he heard a crisp sound.

Following the sound, it was the young man in white who pinched off the pine branch holding the buns in his hand. His eyes were cold and his face was ugly.

The old man glanced back, then turned his gaze back. He didn't care about his reaction at all. He just nodded and praised the little beggar: "Yes, it is the temple of the first ancestor of Shenwu, Emperor Tianwu!"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to rub the girl's head and said with a smile: "So this is not a statue of a ghost or god, but a statue of the Martial Ancestor and the Human Emperor. He is the same as the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. We must worship it respectfully."

"oh!"

The girl nodded in understanding, and then asked curiously: "Then he must be very powerful, right?"

"sharp?"

"It's more than awesome!"

The old man smiled and seemed to be interested. He sat down beside the altar and began to speak eloquently.

"The deeds of this Emperor Tianwu have to be told from fifteen thousand years ago."

"Fifteen thousand years ago, it was the chaos of the late Sui Dynasty."

"At the end of the dynasty, the world was in chaos. Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty was ignorant and ignorant. He was obsessed with great achievements. He built canals and built the Eastern Capital. He was extravagant and lustful. He abused the people's power. He frequently used troops externally, attacking Tuyuhun, conquering the Ryukyu Kingdom, and conquering Goguryeo three times. "

"For this reason, the Sui Emperor made violent conquests, making it difficult for the people to carry the burden and suffering unspeakably. As a result, wars were everywhere, the mountains and rivers were sinking, the country was not in control, and the Sui Dynasty was on the verge of collapse..."

"In this troubled world, a man appeared in Xuzhou. His surname was Xu, his given name was Xian, and his courtesy name was Qingyang!"

The old man lowered his head and looked at the girl: "Huan'er, do you know what kind of situation and appearance Xu Qingyang was at that time?"

The girl bit her finger and shook her head innocently: "Huan'er doesn't know."

"He is a doctor!"

The old man smiled and glanced over: "But before he became a doctor, he was just a little beggar in Xuzhou City, a little beggar who was hungry, cold, and hungry."

"oh?"

The girl let out a light sigh and asked curiously: "Then how did he become Emperor Tianwu?"

"You have to ask him."

The old man shook his head and murmured: "It is said that when Tianwu was young, he begged in Xuzhou, dreamed of meeting a god, and taught him immortal magic. He learned the extraordinary medical skills of the living dead, flesh and bones without a teacher. With this, he reborn and established himself in Xuzhou. , opened a medical clinic, hung a pot to help the world, and the people all regarded him as a heavenly being."

"Due to the chaos in the world, all the heroes came together. Emperor Tianwu practiced medicine and martial arts at the same time, and practiced unfathomable martial arts. With this, he established himself in Xuzhou and dominated the ten directions. All the heroes were afraid and respected him as the King of Suppressing Martial Arts!"

"Subsequently, the world is on fire, ten directions are competing for the dragon, three great masters, four powerful men, and various forces from the underworld and the white world have entered the game one after another to compete for the country."

"Tianwu was based in Xuzhou, and he planned the world's situation. He first defeated the powerful families, and then defeated the martial arts heroes. He swallowed up thousands of miles like a tiger. The three great masters, the four great saints, and the Holy Land Demon Sect all fell into his hands."

"At this point, Tianwu, one man, dominates the world, unifies the country, and establishes the country. He is the Taizu of the Zhou Dynasty, Emperor Tianwu!"

At this point, the old man's expression changed inexplicably, and he sighed quietly: "Although Emperor Tianwu, Taizu of Zhou Dynasty, is a hero that has never been seen in ancient and modern times, his actions are quite extreme, and he often does things that are outrageous in the world. When he was passing through Xuzhou, he took Xuzhou Li Dai and Tao Zong of the aristocratic family have made everyone in the world feel insecure and public sentiments are surging."

"After fighting for the dragon, he is the only one who dominates. Those who follow him will prosper, and those who go against him will perish. He first destroyed the three religions of Taoism, Buddhism and Confucianism, and then suppressed the world's aristocratic families. He evened out the rich and poor, collected acres of land, enforced strict laws, implemented harsh government, and selected great agricultural and industrial craftsmen. , integrate species from all over the world to develop mulberry farming, and then use the power of mulberry farming to promote the development of industry, commerce and other industries... I want to use this to achieve a world where everyone is like a dragon and the world is unified!"

"It's really a grand plan that will shock the past and the present!"

"But nothing..."

The old man shook his head: "People's hearts are selfish and it's really unbearable. The world is in rebellion and the war continues."

"Although the natural force is strong and unstoppable, and he has obtained the true martial arts and the magical method of immortality, which can last for eight hundred years, win over people's hearts, establish a system, and achieve temporary results, but his human power will eventually be exhausted, and immortality does not mean immortality."

"Eight hundred years after his reign, Emperor Tianwu entered the War Temple and finally sat in it!"

"After Tianwu was enthroned, although the Zhou Dynasty relied on the legal system to maintain its power for another eight hundred years, it could not withstand the selfishness of people's hearts. The legal system gradually deteriorated and the system gradually collapsed. In the end, it also followed the path of the previous dynasty. The world was at war, and all the heroes were merged. From then on, the Zhou Dynasty’s Wu Kingdom, which was extremely prosperous for a while, collapsed and disappeared into thin air!”

After saying that, the old man sighed again: "It is the people of Qin who have no time to mourn themselves, and future generations mourn for them, and future generations mourn without taking notice of them, which also makes future generations mourn for future generations again!"

"but……"

The old man changed his words and looked at the young man in white: "Although the Zhou Dynasty was destroyed and the Wu Kingdom was destroyed, the fruits of its achievements still exist. The world is full of weapons and everyone is like a dragon. I don't know how many geniuses are born out of the blue. The official start of the The beginning of the Era of Divine Martial Arts.”

After saying that, the old man smiled and turned to the little beggar in the corner: "My little friend, do you know what Shenwu is?"

"Hey hey hey!"

The little beggar grinned and replied generously: "Of course we know that one of Shenwu and Shenwu is God and the other is Wu. Needless to say, Wu is the Emperor of Tianwu, the first ancestor of Shenwu. As for gods, Of course it’s the Temple of War.”

"Not bad, War Temple!"

The old man nodded, chuckled and said: "The Temple of War, the most precious treasure of martial arts, the world's divine object, is suspected to be the ancient war god's palace. There are seven or forty-nine reliefs in it. It is the first magical power in ancient and modern times, the source of the world's martial arts - —Illustration of the God of War!"

"The curtain of the Era of Divine Martial Arts has opened, and geniuses like dragons have come to meet each other, entered the Temple of War, viewed the catalog of the God of War, and created divine martial arts on top of the foundation of the Divine Martial Arts, starting a world-shattering battle!"

"It's a pity that in the end..."

The old man shook his head and sighed quietly: "Everyone is like a dragon. They are all geniuses. Only heroes compete with each other. There is no one who is the strongest. No one can stand out like Emperor Tianwu and dominate the world. In the end, all parties fight. The sky collapsed and the earth shattered, and the great age of Shenwu turned into a catastrophe for heaven and earth. I don't know how many achievements were buried in the ruins."

"What a pity, what a pity!"

The old man shook his head and turned to look at the three young men in white: "If Tianwu had not died and the Human Emperor was still here, things might not have come to this point. What do you think?"

"snort!!!"

The young man in white snorted coldly and drew his sword angrily: "You're just pretentious, pretending to be a ghost, you can do whatever you want, why bother bluffing!"

"You are indeed as fierce as fire, worthy of being the legacy of Tianwu!"

When the old man heard this, he smiled, stroking his long beard and said: "It's just a gentleman's virtue. He was killed after five generations. This man is dead. Why do you go against heaven and hand over the holy relics out of the virtue of heavenly martial arts?" With Xuan Bing Coffin, I can give you a way out."

"Hey hey hey, this great truth, he talks about it one by one, he is worthy of being the 71st Demon Sect Blood Master on the Earth Ranking!"

Facing the old man's words, before the young man in white could respond, the little beggar beside him laughed loudly: "This shameless kung fu is indeed worthy of the Demon Sect."

"Each other!"

The old man's expression remained unchanged, and he looked at the beggar: "I have heard for a long time that fifty-three on the land list is an immortal beggar who likes to play with the world, drunk and dreaming about the world of mortals. When I saw him today, it turned out to be true."

"hey-hey!"

The immortal beggar smiled: "Okay, okay, don't talk about the situation. For the sake of Old Ghost Yan, I will give you one thing. Do you want the mysterious ice coffin or the holy relic?"

"The holy relics are the sacred objects of my Holy Sect, and the Xuanbing Coffin is the most precious treasure of my Holy Sect. We really cannot give them away to others."

Master Xue shook his head. He was not afraid at all of this immortal beggar who ranked far higher than him.

Seeing this, the Immortal God Beggar also turned cold: "Does that mean there's nothing to talk about?"

"What are we talking about? How about letting me get involved?"

Before he finished his words, another loud roar like a dragon was heard outside the temple gate. Amid the horrified expressions of everyone, it violently blasted into the ruined temple, shaking the earth and the mountains in shock.
