The Villain's Counterattack

Chapter 108 The Legend of Wudang Heroes

Song Yuanqiao, Yu Lianzhou and Mo Shenggu came here for only one thing, which was the widely circulated "Legends of Wudang Heroes". This was an idea that Song Qingshu came up with two years ago after Yu Daying had fully recovered from his injuries and his martial arts skills had caught up with his other brothers. He was in a good mood and told him his stories of chivalry.

The story of the Wudang heroes who performed heroic deeds was recorded in the form of a storybook, the idea of ​​punishing evil and promoting good was promoted, and the evil people in the martial arts world were deterred. At the same time, it also carried a little selfish motive, which was to establish Wudang as a benchmark of righteousness. What I did was right, and what went against us was wrong, even Shaolin was no exception.

Zhang Sanfeng was silent for a long time after listening to Yu Daying's retelling. Finally, he asked him to cooperate with Song Qingshu to settle the matter of the Dragon Slaying Sword first before talking about other things. In Zhang Sanfeng's opinion, Song Qingshu's intention should still be because of Yu Daying's bloody murder that year. Even if Yin Yewang took the blame, Shaolin still refused to admit it and kept making excuses, which was a loss for its status as a famous sect.

Because of the relationship between Yu Daying and the Vajra Finger, the relationship between Wudang and Shaolin became very strained.

Zhang Sanfeng saw Song Qingshu's intent as a direct exposure of the matter to the world, exposing Yu Daying's injustice and Shaolin's shamelessness and inaction. This, in turn, paved the way for Zhang Cuishan's return. He knew the man had already crafted several Dragon Slaying Sabers, waiting for the right moment to unleash them. And in his view, the "Wudang Heroes," which chronicled Yu Daying's story, was undoubtedly aimed at the mastermind behind the incident.

"The Dragon Slaying Blood Case" in "Wudang Heroes" chronicles the entire incident from Yu Daying's perspective, even clearly describing his previous two-month pursuit of the murderer. The Wudang "Xuanxu Sword Technique" also makes its debut in the martial arts world. The Dragon Slaying Sword's various anomalies are revealed, and Yu Daying expresses his disdain for it, repeatedly declaring that only a human can truly reign supreme in the martial arts world, claiming that the sword is dead while the human is alive. Through the mouth of a dead man, he claims that only a Shaolin monk can command the martial arts world, and no one else can.

All of Yin Susu's roles were added to Yin Yewang, and the battle of wits and courage between the two was described very vividly, until later they began to appreciate each other. Although Yin Yewang cheated and defeated Yu Daying, out of respect for him, he spared no expense to entrust the Longmen Escort Agency to send him back to Wudang Mountain.

Then the plot takes a turn, and unknown thieves kidnap Yu Daying at the foot of Wudang Mountain and use the Vajra Finger to break his limbs. The last part is described from the perspective of Yin Yewang. He knows how Yu Daying destroyed the Longmen Escort Agency in anger after knowing what happened to him. All the details are as if he was there in person.

As for why he disguised himself as Zhang Cuishan, there is a psychological description of Yin Yewang here. Yin Yewang judged others by himself and thought that Zhang Cuishan came in a hurry to destroy the entire Longmen Escort Agency and avenge his senior brother. However, he had already said that if an accident happened, the entire family would be wiped out. A man of honor should keep his word. Just to save Zhang Cuishan's face, he disguised himself as Zhang Cuishan and committed the murder.

Later, Zhang Cuishan disappeared, and Shaolin used this to threaten Wudang. Yin Yewang felt funny and stood up to confess the truth, and said a very classic sentence: You must pay for what you have done, and eat as much as your appetite allows. You accepted two thousand taels of gold from me, but did not send him to Wudang Mountain. Instead, you lost him at his doorstep, and this almost caused a fierce battle between Shaolin and Wudang. How could the Longmen Escort Agency not be destroyed?

Yin Yewang said shamelessly that although Shaolin and Wudang are strong, my Tianying Sect is not afraid of them at all. If you kill each other and decline, where can my Tianying Sect find strong enemies to hone itself in the future?

As soon as the story was finished, there was no rush to release it. Instead, it was circulated internally first, and a copy was given to Yin Yewang. As a result, before Wudang took any action, the Sky Eagle Sect had spread this thing everywhere. From then on, Yin Yewang had a new catchphrase: You will have to pay for what you have done. He actually turned "The Legend of Wudang Heroes" from a storybook into a strange story in the martial arts world.

"The Legend of Wudang Heroes" is actually a homonym of "The Legend of Wudang Seven Heroes", but it implies their strong longing for Zhang Cuishan. Following "The Bloody Case of the Dragon Slaying Sword" (that is, the bloody case caused by the Dragon Slaying Sword and also the bloody case of the massacre of the Longmen Escort Agency), versions of the story by Song Yuanqiao, Yu Lianzhou, Zhang Songxi and Yin Liting appeared one after another. Each one demonstrates the Wudang disciples' uprightness and their determination to punish evil and promote good. They stand at the highest point of morality everywhere, but are full of humanity.

Don't look at the background, just investigate the crime. If someone does good intentionally, then reward him. If someone does evil unintentionally, then he must correct his mistakes (let him know his mistakes and correct them). If he persists in evil, he deserves to be put to death. The crime of the person being killed must be clear and unambiguous. Never kill a good person in vain. This is the purpose of the Wudang heroes in "Wudang Heroes".

People are sometimes really strange. Even though these are things they do in their daily lives, they still get excited when they see the description in the book. Instead, they feel full of sacredness. When "The Legend of Wudang Heroes" was published, the Wudang heroes found that many people were full of respect for them when they traveled around the world again, while the bad guys were full of fear and hostility. They could actually distinguish between good and evil through these attitudes.

Of course, it is impossible for bad guys to have the word "bad guy" engraved on their foreheads. Many so-called famous and upright sects are unhappy with Wudang's fame, but they dare not say it openly. There are many who secretly say that they are just seeking fame and reputation, and some people are a little disgusted with the fact that they describe Yin Yewang too well.

Is the one who kills an entire family still a hero?

The Wudang heroes also repeatedly emphasized that Yin Yewang killed too many people. Although there were reasons for it, it was not worth publicizing. It was an evil way that failed to restrain oneself and cultivate oneself.

King Yin Ye also prioritized his reputation, indulging himself and taking his principles as his hallmark. With this spirit, his martial arts training surprisingly became smoother, his skills surpassing those of the original novel by a factor of two. His reputation among the wicked was resounding, and he was hailed as the best successor to the White-browed Eagle King. Of course, King Yin Ye still couldn't compare to the Wudang heroes, who had benefited from Song Qingshu's medicinal nourishment and been strengthened by the Yi Jin Duan Gu Pian.

"Shaolin sent people to protest, saying that "The Legend of Wudang Heroes" distorts right and wrong and is suspected of smearing Shaolin, and they want us to give them an explanation." Song Yuanqiao said and looked at Song Qingshu.

Song Qingshu said nonchalantly, "Let them write down the parts they think are inappropriate, and then find a witness to prove that what I wrote is false, then I can revise it. Everything I wrote is based on Third Uncle's personal experience, and what King Yin Ye acknowledged. How can it be false?"

Yu Lianzhou and Mo Shenggu couldn't help but laugh. "Your Third Uncle's personal experience was indeed correct, but you secretly replaced the person, and yet you keep asking for witnesses?" Could they still find Cuishan and Yin Susu?

"Don't they suspect that we are colluding with the Sky Eagle Cult?" Song Qingshu asked the question that he was most concerned about, which was also the biggest flaw.

Yu Lianzhou smiled and said, "That's not the case. Your Fourth and Sixth Uncles have been going to the Sky Eagle Sect every year for the past two years to challenge King Yin Ye. They say they want to get back at your Third Uncle and prove that he can't beat him without using tricks. Because they always bring out their true anger, more than one or two people see it. No one would think that the two families fighting to the death would join forces to do such a thing."

"That Yin Yewang is also a genius. I don't know if it's because he watched "The Bloody Case of the Dragon Slaying" too much or what, but he actually regarded your Third Uncle as his rival. He kept saying that he was indeed careless in that matter, and shouldn't have trusted that the disciples of Shaolin Bald Thief could do the job. He knew that Shaolin and Wudang were not in harmony, but he still carelessly handed Yu Daying over to the Longmen Escort Agency, harming Yu Daying. And he also kept saying that he would look for famous doctors and elixirs all over the world, and must cure Yu Daying, and then the two of them would become rivals again." Speaking of this, Song Yuanqiao still admired Yin Yewang a little, because the Black Jade Fracture Ointment was found by him with great effort (although Song Qingshu proposed the direction of the search).

"How long will we keep the news of Third Brother's recovery a secret?" Mo Shenggu was most concerned about this. If the news of Yu Daying's recovery got out, then there would be no opportunity to challenge King Yin Ye in the future. Fourth and sixth brothers always looked like they had gained a lot after each challenge, but their martial arts skills were not good enough and they needed another two years of accumulation.

"Now that Fifth Uncle is back, there's no need to hide it anymore. However, you'll need to pretend to be half-invalid for a while and slowly recover. Seventh Uncle, is the sword I made for you still working well?"

"Not bad, not bad at all. It's not any worse than those so-called masters. Junior Brother Qingshu's craftsmanship is already very good. Unfortunately, it's still a little distance away from forging a true magic weapon."

"It's almost there. I recently asked Hu Shang to buy some wootz steel and meteorite iron on my behalf. I believe we'll be able to upgrade again soon."
