The Villain's Counterattack

Chapter 149: Two Years of Hard Training to Create a Taoist Holy Land

Wudang Song Qingshu traveled around the world for more than a year. After he came back, he dressed up as a Taoist priest again and preached Taoism every seven days at the foot of the mountain. This news spread all over the world, leaving many people puzzled. This guy has good martial arts skills and profound Confucian knowledge. He has taught many disciples, but now he suddenly lost his mind and wants to preach Taoism?

There are few Confucian disciples with strong martial arts skills, but there are many Taoist masters. After this news spread, whenever Song Qingshu preached, someone would jump out to discuss with him. At first, they were just young people, and they were always speechless after being refuted by Song Qingshu. Then they started to fight, and the results were even more shocking. Three or five Taoists combined were no match for him, and they were beaten miserably.

Gradually, the young people became much more honest, and middle-aged Taoists appeared one after another. They had discussions with Song Qingshu and won and lost against each other, but it was basically impossible to suppress him. They could not win in discussions, and even less in martial arts. Song Qingshu had a very superb swordsmanship. Although he never killed anyone, the "Thirteen Swords of Shenmen" he used was even more evil, making it difficult to defend against.

Zhang Wuji went into seclusion with Zhang Sanfeng to minimize external interference. Yin Li was very happy in Wudang. Her aunt treated her like a daughter. She also had a little sister and a very interesting Song Qingshan. However, that senior sister was very annoying. She actually took away the job of taking care of senior brother Song. She practiced with him every day, and her martial arts improved very quickly. She was even slightly better than himself, which ruined Yin Li's plan to snatch the senior sister.

This matter was brought up by Yin Susu to Song Qingshu. If it happened in the Sky Eagle Sect, it wouldn't matter, but this was Wudang Mountain. It wouldn't be good for Yin Li to succeed in seizing power or not. Yin Li was very similar to herself, and she needed someone above her who could suppress her. Zhou Zhiruo was naturally no worse than her, but she was still a little short of being suppressed, so she could only beg Song Qingshu for help.

Song Qingshu took the opportunity to tell Yin Susu about Ji Xiaofu and Yang Buhui, and asked her to secretly match Yin Liting and Wu Qingying, just as a test. It didn't matter if it failed, at worst he could find a more suitable girl.

Song Qingshu gave this lecture for a whole year. In the last two or three months, all the middle-aged Taoist priests who came to visit were defeated, and then one by one the old Taoist priests who had been in seclusion appeared.

Each of these old freaks had their own specialties. While they weren't as knowledgeable as Song Qingshu, their expertise in one area completely crushed him. Song Qingshu then asked those who had defeated him to leave their calligraphy, much to the delight of these old Taoists. In the end, most of them left behind some simple inheritance, which Song Qingshu said was quite rewarding.

There was only one thing that Song Qingshu had never lost, and that was Qimen Dunjia. He had studied a large number of books related to formations on Peach Blossom Island thoroughly early on, which shocked the two old Taoists who came to challenge him. Later, when they heard that Song Qingshu's Qimen Dunjia was from the Peach Blossom Island lineage, they were relieved. Finally, they decided to stay in Wudang Mountain and chose a small hill dozens of miles away from Wudang Sect to live in seclusion. They often came to Song Qingshu for advice.

In just one year, Wudang Mountain became a Taoist holy land in the Central Plains. Even when Song Qingshu was not present at other times, the Taoists of various schools would compete with each other and have a lot of fun.

Song Qingshu then engraved some basic Taoist classics on stones, placed them at the foot of Wudang Mountain, and assigned people to guard them day and night. Later, other schools also contributed some basic knowledge, which was also engraved on the big stones. Putting them together, they gradually formed a forest of stone tablets. The stone tablets were guarded not only by the Wudang Sect, but also by other Taoist schools. It became a Taoist holy place.

Two years later, Zhang Sanfeng came out of seclusion with Zhang Wuji, whose cold poison was completely cured. After hearing about the incident at the foot of the mountain, he went there in person. There were more than a hundred densely packed stone tablets. After he looked at them carefully, he couldn't help but burst into laughter, and the sound spread far away. It seemed that the old Taoist's martial arts had improved again.

Three days later, Song Qingshu summoned Taoist priests from a hundred miles around to hold a large-scale conference on Taoism. Zhang Sanfeng personally took action and defeated ten elders with profound Taoist knowledge in a row, avenging Song Qingshu. This conference made Zhang Sanfeng famous, and at the same time announced the end of Song Qingshu's two-year practice of discussing Taoism every seven days.

This practice did not end. Instead, it became a practice where Taoist masters would give lectures every seven days, taking turns to spread their ideas. The stone stele forest was also replanned and divided into the outer forest and the inner forest. The inner forest was located halfway up Wudang Mountain and was built by directly flattening one side of the mountain. This place was already the interior of the Wudang Sect, so safety could naturally be guaranteed.

During the past two years, many Confucian scholars came to study. Song Qingshu accepted all of them and gave them books and guidance, but the number of times was not frequent. With the help of the "One Yang Finger", his "Nine Yang Magic" had reached a critical juncture and was only one step away from perfection.

Seventeen-year-old Zhang Wuji was already a grown man. His internal strength was among the best among the second-rate ones, much stronger than Zhou Zhiruo, Yin Li, and Wu Qingying. However, he was still a little indecisive. Faced with the choice of continuing to practice the "Nine Yang Divine Art" or switching to the "Pure Yang Wuji Gong", Zhang Wuji was a little at a loss.

With the complete version of "Nine Yang Divine Art" as a reference, Zhang Sanfeng improved the "Pure Yang Wuji Gong". In the past two years, the Seven Heroes of Wudang have gradually switched to practicing the new "Pure Yang Wuji Gong", and their internal strength has been greatly improved again.

For this purpose, Song Qingshu spent a large amount of precious medicinal materials and prepared a Wudang tonic soup. It can be said that the current Wudang Seven Heroes are much better than the original ones. Any one of them will not be inferior to any of the Two Xuanming Elders. Song Yuanqiao and Yu Lianzhou can definitely win, and they are definitely top-notch masters.

"Grandmaster, my Nine Yang Divine Art has reached its final stage, but I need some time to accumulate and comprehend it. I plan to go to Kunlun again and retreat in the blessed land to break through." Song Qingshu's words caught everyone's attention. The Nine Yang Divine Art has been fully developed? This is something that Master Jueyuan hadn't achieved back then. Is this kid already that powerful?

"I want to go too. I want to go too. You described that blessed land as one of the most beautiful in the world. There are many good things in it. I don't want to miss it." Mo Shenggu was the first to jump out.

"Qingshu's cultivation should be undisturbed. It's best to have me and my Seventh Junior Brother as guardians." Yin Liting included himself in the list and cast his gaze towards Wu Qingying. Over the past two years, Yin Susu had created numerous opportunities for them to spend time alone together, gradually leaving Yin Liting with a shadow of her. Wu Qingying, having learned of Yin Liting's tragic experiences from Yin Li, also developed a lingering affection for him. However, Yin Liting was unaware of Ji Xiaofu's situation and this time, he was planning to go to Emei Mountain to discuss things with her.

"I've been away from home for two and a half years. It's time to go back home." Wu Qingying said, and a blush unconsciously appeared on her face.

"Junior Sister Wu is a girl, so it would be a little inconvenient for her to travel with Senior Brother Song and the two uncles. I will go with her so that we can take care of each other. As the eldest sister of the Wudang female lineage, it is time to let the world know of our existence." Zhou Zhiruo's attitude was very calm, but her words could not hide a hint of excitement and yearning for the world.

"And me, and me!" Yin Li also jumped out to join in the fun.

Yin Susu suppressed her with a backhand. This little witch had not been trained well yet. If she was released into the world now, she might ruin the reputation of Wudang. For now, it would be better to let Zhou Zhiruo, a sensible girl, go out and build the reputation of the Wudang women's lineage. What's more, Song Qingshu was there to take care of her, so there would be no problems.

In the past two years, Yin Yewang also came to Wudang Mountain once, but he was assigned by Yin Tianzheng to visit his sister, brother-in-law, nephew and niece. As a result, he saw his own daughter here, and the two had a quarrel.

The hot-tempered Yin Yewang raised his palm to attack, but Yin Li did not give in at all and actually fought back and forth with him. After twenty moves, she was at a disadvantage due to lack of internal strength. Yin Susu then took action to defeat Yin Yewang. Yin Yewang found that he could not beat his sister at all.

King Yin Ye was also a smart man. He naturally knew what kind of person his sister was. It was definitely not a coincidence that her strength suddenly increased and she pressed him to the ground. After going through a lot of hardships and inquiries from various sources, he finally found out the secret.

Afterwards, he naturally pestered Song Qingshu and got a small portion of Wudang tonic soup. He then went into seclusion in Wudang for half a month before leaving contentedly. As for Yin Li, he just told her to go back and see her grandfather when she was free and that he no longer blamed her, which made Yin Li cry after he left.

Before Song Qingshu went down the mountain, Zhang Sanfeng gave him most of the Shaolin Dahuan Dan in case of emergency. Song Qingshu knew what Zhang Sanfeng meant and said that he would only break through after he was fully prepared and would never act rashly.

At this time, Song Qingshu's "One Yang Finger" had been promoted to the fourth level, and his internal strength could be ranked among the best in the martial arts world, at least not inferior to Sankong.
