[Chapter 309: Status like the Emperor]
Bai Shan suddenly knelt down and said that Wudang was in trouble and asked him to go to Wudang. Yang Yiyun was really confused.
“Bai Shan, what are you doing? If you have anything to say, get up and tell me.” Yang Yiyun helped him up while speaking.
At this time, Bai Shan looked at Xia Lu, who didn’t say much, and his meaning was very simple. Some words were not convenient for Xia Lu to hear.
Xia Lu naturally had some eyes in this regard. She immediately stood up and said to Yang Yiyun in a hoarse voice: “You guys chat, I’ll come back later.”
“Thank you, Lord Xia Tan, for your understanding~” Bai Shan saluted Xia Mu with a fist. After all, it was unreasonable to send Xia Lu, the master, away on the territory of Shenlongtan. However, since it was related to the sect, Bai Shan could only apologize.
Yang Yiyun also understood that these ancient sects had many rules. He nodded to Xia Lu to express his apology, and did not talk much with Xia Lu. After all, apart from him, no third person knew Xia Lu’s identity, and it would be bad to say too much.
After Xia Lu left, Bai Shan looked at Yang Yiyu and slowly told him about the crisis.
In Bai Shan’s story, Wudang was now divided into two factions, and internal strife had arisen because of the election of the headmaster.
Of course, the current internal strife has not yet reached the point of open fighting, and both sides are fighting secretly, but Bai Shan seems to be about to break out, so he is anxious. However,
the appearance of Yang Yiyu gave Bai Shan a hope, a hope that could calm down the internal strife of the Wudang headmaster.
In Bai Shan’s words, the orthodoxy of Wudang is the lineage of the first generation of headmasters, that is, he and Yang Yiyu’s lineage, and the ancestor is Sikong Yuan.
In Bai Shan’s words, this lineage is the orthodox lineage of Wudang, and they practice both martial arts and alchemy, that is, they also practice alchemy while practicing, and alchemy is the foundation. Wudang’s rise was largely due to alchemy, and it has a status in the ancient martial arts world.
The elixir they refined was the elixir handed down by Sikong Yuan, and Peiyuan Dan was the main treasure of the sect. However, Wudang’s alchemy has declined since its development. After the senior brother who could refine Peiyuan Dan unexpectedly passed away three years ago, the alchemy inheritance of Wudang has actually been broken.
It can be said that Wudang has been living on its old capital for the past three years, using the Peiyuan Dan left by the alchemists of previous generations to support its facade. Seeing that the alchemy inheritance has been broken, conflicts have also occurred internally.
More importantly, the previous generation of the headmaster’s retreat, ten years ago, the previous generation of the headmaster reached a bottleneck in his cultivation and announced that he would be in retreat until he broke through. Ten years have passed without any movement. There are only two possibilities. The first is that there has been no breakthrough, and the second is that the headmaster has passed away in the retreat chamber.
In the eyes of Baishan and Wudang, the latter is the most likely.
When the previous generation of the headmaster was in retreat, he left Wudang with the troubles of today. There was no clear successor, which led to conflicts within Wudang now. Because of the successor, they started to make a fuss and split into two factions.
One faction is the Baishan faction, which adheres to the first generation of the headmaster’s line and practices both martial arts and alchemy.
The other faction is the pure martial madman faction, which mainly practices swordsmanship.
The current situation is that the swordsmanship faction is powerful and thinks that since the alchemy of Wudang has been cut off, it is better to abandon it. Anyway, the elixir they refine is not the real Peiyuan Dan but the small Peiyuan Dan, which is only helpful for dark force warriors, not for innate warriors. It is better not to refine the elixir. The cost of refining the elixir is too high. In the future, Wudang will focus on swordsmanship and martial arts, which is very radical.
However, Baishan disagrees and believes that the successors of the alchemy can be cultivated slowly. Alchemy is the foundation of Wudang, so how can it be abandoned?
So both sides have to elect their own representatives to take the position of headmaster. After a few years, Wudang has not made any progress, but has been seriously injured because of internal strife. Now it is at a breaking point. It is said that the successor to the headmaster must be determined before the end of this year.
There is no doubt that at that time, if both sides do not compromise, it will be a more serious fight, and then it will be a fight from covert to open.
So Baishan meant to let Yang Yiyun go to Wudang, because Yang Yiyun is a real disciple of Sikong Yuan, and is a fellow disciple of the first generation of Wudang’s headmaster, and is the founder of Wudang.
More importantly, Yang Yiyun can refine the real Peiyuan Pill. As long as Yang Yiyun goes to Wudang, the crisis of Wudang’s internal strife can be resolved.
After listening to Baishan’s story, Yang Yiyun thought that Baishan’s method seemed to sound good, but it seemed to have nothing to do with him?
He said to Baishan: “Ahem, Baishan, it’s not that I won’t help you. I’m an outsider. If I agree to you, it’s like getting involved in your Wudang’s family affairs. This is not appropriate. Besides, I don’t believe that you don’t have a strong person in charge of Wudang. In the ancient martial arts world, fists are the most important. If a strong person comes out, just confirm him directly. Why bother to argue about it? Don’t you think so?”
Who knew that after Yang Yiyu finished speaking, Baishan stood up and said seriously: “Master, don’t think so. You and the first generation of the headmaster are brothers. In fact, you are the person with the highest seniority in the entire Wudang. In ancient times, you are the emperor. How can you be an outsider?
Besides, Wudang does have innate elders, but every master who has stepped into the sixth level of innateness will go to heaven to gain enlightenment and recognize For the higher realm of martial arts after Xiantian, after reaching Xiantian level 6 or above, they will leave the sect and no longer interfere in any matter of the sect, unless the sect encounters a matter of life and death, those old men will come out.
In the eyes of those old men, the internal strife of Wudang is not considered survival, it is just a matter of choosing the headmaster, Wudang will still exist, but in the eyes of those outsiders, it is life and death, as for those old men, they either travel around the world or practice martial arts in seclusion, and don’t care about these things. “
Yang Yiyun almost laughed when he heard Baishan compare himself to the emperor, but according to his statement, it seems to be right. After all, the first generation of Wudang headmaster was Sikong Yuan’s registered disciple, and he was Sikong Yuan’s inheritance disciple.
In terms of Sikong Yuan’s identity, Wudang respects Sikong Yuan as the ancestor, and he, Sikong Yuan’s inheritance disciple, is naturally higher and closer than the first generation of Wudang headmaster.
And the first generation of Wudang headmaster, in Baishan’s words, has been immortal for hundreds of years. Now that he, Sikong Yuan’s inheritance disciple, goes to Wudang, it really means a bit like the emperor.
But on second thought, Baishan is a good person, and he is asking for help from me. I should be able to help him, and it would seem bad if I don’t agree. After all, Baishan supported him in the Ancient Martial Arts Conference. If it weren’t for Baishan and Xia Lu, Yuan Chenzi would have killed me at the Ancient Martial Arts Conference. I have to repay this favor.
After organizing his words, Yang Yiyu looked at Baishan and said, “Baishan, I can agree to let you go to Wudang, but not now. I have other things to do. Besides, I can’t guarantee whether it will be successful or not. What do you think?”
Baishan was overjoyed and said, “As long as you, Grandmaster, can go to Wudang, I dare say that none of those old guys will dare to jump. Wudang has been passed down to this day, and respecting teachers is a taboo, and no one dares to violate it. If you go to Wudang, including the Wudang forbidden area, those old men will respect you as uncle, and you will be able to suppress the internal strife in Wudang.
In fact, the real contradiction is because of the interruption of Wudang’s alchemy inheritance…” When he said this, Baishan was a little embarrassed and said, “If you, Grandmaster, can go to Wudang to guide the younger generation of Wudang in the way of alchemy, this matter can be solved~”
Yang Yiyu understood that Baishan wanted him to teach Wudang disciples the art of alchemy, and the alchemy technique of Peiyuan Dan in his hand was the real way of alchemy, which could indeed solve the internal strife in Wudang.
Seeing Baishan’s embarrassed expression, Yang Yiyun laughed and said, “Okay, I agree to your request. Anyway, the small Peiyuan Dan refined by your Wudang is of the same lineage as the Peiyuan Dan in my hand. I will teach Wudang the real alchemy technique when the time comes.”
Yang Yiyun thought to himself that it was necessary to be hypocritical with an ancient sect like Wudang. He had offended several ancient sects and needed some allies. Teaching Wudang the real alchemy knowledge was just a matter of the True Yuan Lihuo Jue. This little spell was basically used by everyone in the cultivation world. It was worth it to exchange the
Lihuo Jue for the friendship of Wudang.
As for Baishan’s claim that he was the emperor of Wudang, Yang Yiyun did not take it seriously. These ancient sects had been passed down for hundreds and thousands of years. How could they be influenced by a younger generation of cultivation who had risen like a nouveau riche? Yang Yiyun was no longer a rookie in the martial arts world.
Agreeing to Baishan’s request was to repay Baishan’s favor, and also to find an ally for Yunmen in the ancient martial arts world, or to establish a diplomatic relationship, which was very necessary.
After the two talked about the situation in Wudang, Baishan left and talked to Yang Yiyu, inviting Yang Yiyu to Wudang before the end of the year.
When Baishan left, Yang Yiyu also walked out of the door and prepared to leave. As soon as he went out,
he saw Xia Lu in white clothes in the distance. He walked over to say goodbye, but before he opened his mouth, Xia Lu said, “Are you leaving?”
