The Shaolin faction has always been the first major school in Jin Yong's martial arts, and the same is true in "Dragon Babu", which is known as the pinnacle of Jin Yong's martial arts level.
It's just that the prestige of the Shaolin faction in "Tianlong Babu" is all supported by a sweeping monk, and Xuan Ci, as the head of the Shaolin faction, is in an extremely awkward position.
Not only is his martial arts not the best, but he can't even enter the top ten of "Dragon Babu". Moreover, unlike those Shaolin leaders who abide by the rules and precepts, Xuan Ci actually broke the precepts and gave birth to a son with Ye Erniang, that is, Xuzhu.
How did such a person, who despises the rules and precepts of the Qing Dynasty so much, become the head of Shaolin?
Strictly speaking, although Xuan Ci's martial arts are not the best, he is a qualified Shaolin master. He was able to become the head of Shaolin also by virtue of his own ability, and the reason why his martial arts were not the pinnacle of Tianlong was also because in the era of Tianlong Babu, there were too many masters of all kinds, so that Xuan Ci could not show up. And his performance when he was dying also maintained the reputation of Shaolin Temple.
Original text:
Xuan Ci shouted: "Walking staff! "It's easy to finish two hundred strokes of the staff, and blood is flowing all over the ground, Xuan Ci reluctantly raises his true qi to protect his heart, so as not to faint in pain. …… Xuan Ci stretched out his hand, grabbed Ye Erniang's wrist on the right, grabbed Xuzhu with his left hand, and said: "For more than 20 years, I have been hanging on your mother and son day and night, knowing that I have violated the great precepts, but I dare not repent to the monks, but today I can be liberated in one fell swoop, and from now on, I will have no fear, and I will be happy." He said: "Life is in the world, there is desire and love, troubles and sufferings, liberation is happiness!" With that, he slowly closed his eyes and smiled peacefully.
Since Xuan Ci is demanding himself as a qualified Shaolin leader, why did he break the vows to be happy with Ye Erniang and give birth to his son Xuzhu?
Actually, he was made a game, and this person is Murong Bo.
Murong Bo has always been planning to restore the Yan Kingdom, but although he is arrogant, he also knows that the so-called Xianbei Murong has already been ruined, he is just a grass man without an official position, and he has no public support at all.
If he wants to restore the Yan Kingdom, the only possibility is the Northern Song Dynasty chaos, and he can profit from it. At that time, although the Northern Song Dynasty was not prosperous, it was also considered a country and a peaceful country, and only by provoking a dispute with the Liao State could it have a chance. And Murong Bo is just a Jianghu person, and the only way he can think of is to try to control the famous factions in the martial arts, so as to obtain capital for himself.
For this reason, Murong Bo fell in love with Xuan Ci, he thought that Xuan Ci had the potential to be the abbot of Shaolin, and he wanted to use Ye Erniang as a bait to let Xuan Ci take the bait, and then take the opportunity to control the Shaolin faction. For this reason, he secretly set up an opportunity to let Ye Erniang get close to Xuan Ci.
Actually, it's all a success. The problem is that Murong Bo's EQ and IQ can only be a so-called boss in the rivers and lakes, and he can't be on the stage at all in political struggle.
Xuan Ci treated Ye Erniang's father, although it was a bureau set up by Murong Bo, and Ye Erniang also seduced Xuan Ci. However, that's completely your willingness, and Ye Erniang and Xuan Ci really love each other. Murong Bo didn't get Ye Erniang's trust at all before, so much so that after Ye Erniang gave birth to Xuzhu, he was stolen by Xiao Yuanshan, who came to take revenge, and then put it in Shaolin Temple, so that their family of three could not recognize each other.
This is a great tragedy for Xuan Ci, Ye Erniang and Xu Zhu, and it is also a kind of interference for Murong Bo's plan.
Except for Xuan Ci's martial arts talent, which is worse than Xiao Feng, Gu Mozhi and others, he is not bad in Buddhism or great wisdom. A person like him would never be held hostage by anyone, so Murong Bo didn't even dare to use Xuzhu to blackmail Xuan Ci.
When Xuan Ci was young, as the leading eldest brother, he led the Xiao Yuanshan family who led the Central Plains martial arts masters to ambush their relatives back to the province, but they actually made a big mistake, because it was a complete misunderstanding.
At that time, Xiao Yuanshan was not only not the vanguard of the Liao invasion of the Great Song Dynasty, but also unwilling to kill the Han people because of the Han master. The problem is that the intelligence of the Central Plains Martial Arts is so poor that he actually believes Murong Bo's lies.
It's just that this time, Murong Bo also miscalculated, because the Liao State did not start a war with the Great Song Dynasty because of Xiao Yuanshan's disappearance, and Xuan Ci also returned to Shaolin as the head of Shaolin after settling Ye Erniang.
What Murong Bo has done in his life is to harm others and not benefit himself, if his pattern can be bigger, he will secretly tell Xuan Ci and Ye Erniang the news of Xuzhu's presence in Shaolin Temple, so that their family of three can reunite and be a favor. This can completely get Xuan Ci's favor, and it will actually help him a lot in his plan. However, he had to try to damage the prestige of Shaolin. Xuan Ci would rather die than let the other party succeed.
Speaking of which, when Xuan Ci was dying, he had already realized that he was not guilty of death, but he chose to be liberated, and although Murong Bo was alive, he could only choose to completely deny his former self.
