Chapter 403: Are You Willing to Give Up Taoism and Buddhism and Become the Founder of Martial Arts?
Brother Bai and I hit it off right away!
In Lin Ye's narration, he and Bai Jinye are like flowing water and high mountains, and their friendship is comparable to that of Boya and Ziqi, and that of Guan Yu and Bao Bao.
Bai Jinye listened to Lin Ye's words, staring at Lin Ye without blinking, trying to find flaws from Lin Ye's expression.
Unfortunately, Lin Ye's expression was flawless, and he even danced a little when he was excited.
"How is it possible that my personality will change so much in the future?"
After a while, Lin Ye heard Bai Jinye muttering softly.
"Brother Bai, you once told me something. If I had met you earlier, maybe you and I wouldn't have sat down and drank together." Lin Ye immediately added.
"Even Brother Bai, you told me that as a pawnbroker, you not only have to find people to complete the pawnbroker's transactions, but you also have another responsibility, which is related to the gods. However, you said that my realm is too low and there is not much benefit in knowing these, so you did not elaborate."
In order to gain the trust of Bai Jinye, Lin Ye talked a lot of nonsense, and this last sentence was the killer.
The third pawn shop was the business of the divine undertaker. He believed that not many people knew about it, and he would not have known about it if it were not for chance.
Sure enough, this time Bai Jinye's expression changed, and the questioning look on his face completely disappeared.
"It seems that you have a good relationship with the later me."
Bai Jinye believed Lin Ye. If he hadn’t taken the initiative to tell him later, no one would have known about the divine undertaker.
Because before he appeared here, the gods were already gone.
Unless he says it himself, it is impossible for later generations to know.
"Since you have a good relationship with me later, just ask if you have any questions."
Hearing Bai Jinye's words, Lin Ye did not hesitate at all. He said so many things just for this moment.
"Brother Bai, I'm curious, this is a space rift, why is Brother Bai here?"
"This is a deal between me and Wu Zu."
"Martial Ancestor?"
The first thought in Lin Ye’s mind was Taoism and Buddha.
Those two are the eternal beings in the legend, so could it be that the Martial Ancestor is at the same level as them?
"Since you are able to come here, you must have seen the martial arts diagram that his body turned into after his death. The deal between me and Wu Zu is to wait here for someone who can arrive."
The Martial Ancestor was actually the owner of the Zhenwu Power Transmission Wall that Lao Shi mentioned, that is, the dead god.
Although he had already guessed it in his mind, Lin Ye was still shocked.
"Brother Bai, did he call himself Martial Ancestor, or..."
"It seems that I did tell you a lot of secrets later on." Bai Jinye knew what Lin Ye was going to ask and interrupted him.
"Those two eternal beings have been verified by multiple worlds. Although no one has ever seen them, they are at least recognized by those who care. The Martial Ancestor is just a self-proclaimed one. Only in this world can martial arts flourish. It can be said that the Martial Ancestor is the originator of martial arts."
A trace of disappointment appeared on Lin Ye's face. He thought that Martial Ancestor was also an eternal being.
"You don't need to be disappointed. Even if Wu Zu is not eternal, he is the most powerful among all the gods I have seen."
"Including the Buddha of this world?" Lin Ye asked.
This time, Bai Jinye's expression changed. His expression remained obscure for a long time. He stared at Lin Ye and asked, "Are you sure I told you these words later?"
"Yes." Lin Ye nodded and admitted it without any burden.
This time Bai Jinye was silent for a long time. Lin Ye felt a little nervous, wondering if he had made up a story too much and that Bai Jinye might have seen through it. Fortunately, Bai Jinye still spoke.
"Since you know so many secrets, I don't know why I have changed so much in my later life to tell you, but since I did this, I think there must be a reason. I will tell you what happened here."
Bai Jinye did not speak vaguely again. This time he told Lin Ye the whole story.
Lin Ye listened to Bai Jinye's words, his eyes flickering, and his pupils shrank several times because of shock. He didn't expect that there were so many shocking news in this world.
It’s a pity that Lao Shi couldn’t see all the scenes he saw on the Zhenwu Power Transmission Wall, otherwise Lao Shi would have screamed in surprise in his mind a long time ago.
Wu Zu is the founder of martial arts.
Not only in this world, but also in the real world and even in several other worlds, martial arts were created by the Martial Ancestor. Of course, the Martial Ancestor did not go to other worlds, but relied on transactions with the third pawnshop.
The Third Pawnshop spread martial arts to various worlds, but unfortunately, martial arts were not prosperous in other worlds. Take the real world for example, martial artists were always in the low martial arts era, and the highest was the Jingzhe realm, and there were no strong people even in the Jingzhe realm.
This is the difference between warriors and Taoism and Buddhism.
Although Taoism and Buddhism also emphasize aptitude, as long as one has the aptitude to practice, one can rely on a complete set of practice techniques and then as long as there is enough spiritual energy from heaven and earth one can climb up step by step. Of course, there are also very few people who can practice to the Yuanshen realm, but because of the large base, there will always be some people who can break through to the Yuanshen realm or even higher.
But it is different for warriors. Each realm a warrior reaches is to break through his own limits, but limits are not so easy to break through. In addition, warriors need many medicinal herbs to polish their bodies in the early stages, which leads to the progress of warriors' practice always lagging behind that of Taoism and Buddhism.
In this world, Martial Ancestor has already cultivated to the pinnacle and is the most powerful being in this world, bar none.
At that time, there were no Taoism or Buddhism in this world; it was a pure martial arts world.
The change starts with the appearance of the Buddha, or in other words, the appearance of the Buddha of this world.
Just like the scene Lin Ye saw, the Buddha was sent to reincarnation by Bai Jinye at a huge cost, but he did not reincarnate into the original world, but into another world.
That person was reincarnated with his memories and began to preach Buddhism in this martial arts world, which naturally caused dissatisfaction among many martial artists.
But that person was a god in his previous life after all, and no ordinary warrior was his match. In just a few decades, Buddhism began to flourish in this land. A hundred years later, he had cultivated himself to the realm of a god again, which attracted the attention of the Martial Ancestor.
Martial Ancestor took action personally. Even though that person had the strength of a god in his previous life and a god in this life, he was still no match for Martial Ancestor. But that person was not panicked at all, because all this was within his expectations.
After being subdued by Martial Ancestor, he made a deal with him, asking him to allow Buddhism to be spread in this world, and he told him some secrets about the gods.
As a Martial Ancestor who has reached the pinnacle of martial arts and even the top level of gods, the secrets above the gods are what he cares about most, so the deal was reached.
Knowing that there are other worlds outside this world, and possibly the eternal Taoist and Buddha, Martial Ancestor naturally had a goal, and it was from that time that he called himself Martial Ancestor.
Martial Ancestor. Since Buddhism has the Buddha and Taoism has the Taoist Ancestor, warriors must also have a Martial Ancestor.
The title of Martial Ancestor shows his goal.
After learning about the eternal existence from the Buddhist god, Wu Zu went into seclusion for hundreds of years. When he came out, he disappeared mysteriously.
It wasn't until five hundred years later that the whole world suddenly changed.
Suddenly, golden rain fell from the sky. Ordinary people were shocked by the golden rain, but the warriors were ecstatic. Many warriors were drenched by the golden rain and actually broke through the bottleneck of their realm.
Even warriors at the Martial Saint level have gained something.
While the lower-level warriors were in revelry, the Martial Saints and even more powerful warriors had sorrow on their faces, because only they knew that this was not a gift from heaven, but the blood of the Martial Ancestor.
Wu Zu, something happened.
This rain lasted for three whole years. As the rain fell over these three years, the martial arts level of the entire world made a rapid progress, but among the top martial artists, the atmosphere of sadness became increasingly strong.
And it was in the third year that the Martial Ancestor showed up. He first met the Buddhist deity, then summoned some martial arts masters, and finally established a rule.
In this world, Buddhism, Taoism and Martial Arts develop mutually, and no one is allowed to cross the line, and none of the three is allowed to interfere in secular power.
At that time, those martial arts masters did not understand why the Martial Ancestor issued such a rule. What puzzled them the most was that they knew about the Buddhist sect. Although they had suppressed it over the years, it had occupied some territory in the western region. But what kind of force was the Taoist sect?
At that time, there was no Taoism in this world, but the Martial Ancestor did not explain to these martial arts masters. He disappeared after leaving this rule.
Those martial arts masters did not know where Martial Ancestor had gone. In fact, Martial Ancestor found the third pawnshop through the Buddhist deity and reached a deal with the third pawnshop.
Let the Third Pawnshop spread martial arts to other worlds.
"Brother Bai, what did Wu Zu do?"
Lin Ye couldn't help but interrupt Bai Jinye's words. This was what he was most curious about. For no reason, in a world without Taoism, it was impossible for the Martial Ancestor to set down rules for the common development of Martial Arts, Taoism, and Buddhism.
"Don't ask me. I don't know even if you ask me. It involves eternal existence. Maybe only Wu Zu knows something. He is the existence closest to that level. It's a pity that Wu Zu still failed."
"Brother Bai, do you think Wu Zu really failed?"
Lin Ye was somewhat skeptical about Bai Jinye's statement. If the Martial Ancestor had completely failed, why would he use the Third Pawn Shop to spread martial arts to other worlds?
The transaction between the Third Pawn Shop and Martial Ancestor would definitely not be that simple. Bai Jinye did not say what the Third Pawn Shop required Martial Ancestor to pay?
That means this transaction is also very important to the third pawnshop.
"You are very smart, but there are some things I cannot tell you. What I can tell you is that I will stay here. This is also one of the deals between the pawnshop and Martial Ancestor. This space crack was created by Martial Ancestor. Time is stagnant in this space."
Bai Jinye knew what Lin Ye wanted to ask, but he did not give Lin Ye an answer. Instead, he explained the matter of the space rift.
"What about when I met you, Brother Bai?" Lin Ye also knew that Bai Jinye would never tell him the answer, so he stopped pressing him and asked another question instead.
"You can understand it as the Martial Ancestor using his great magical power to create a shadow-keeping space where time stagnated, but everything outside is still going on, and everything inside is a shadow."
shadow.
Lin Ye thought of a word: copy.
I also think of a modern word: movie.
The Bai Jinye here has not experienced the real society of later generations and does not know the existence of the movie, otherwise it would be easy to explain.
In other words, the warrior has actually locked up everything in this space, including the time, which no longer passes. It is like shooting a movie with a camera, and the people in the movie are always that age, but this does not prevent the actors from continuing to live in the real world.
But why did the Martial Ancestor go to so much trouble to create such a space, just to make time stop?
Lin Ye felt that it was not that simple.
However, from Bai Jinye's expression, he believed that even if he asked, Bai Jinye would not tell him the answer. In that case, he might as well ask some other questions.
After all, even though he had tricked Bai Jinye with his words, Bai Jinye would not have the patience to answer all his questions. He would give up after answering a few at most. He had to seize this opportunity.
"Brother Bai, I have another question. How did the situation become like this after the death of Wu Zu?"
"Don't ask me. I can't answer you because I don't know either. After the pawn shop reached a deal with Wu Zu, I was stranded in this space. I was only responsible for waiting for people to come in and fulfilling the agreement with Wu Zu. As for Wu Zu's other arrangements, to be honest, I am also very curious. How about you tell me about it?"
Bai Jinye looked at Lin Ye with a smile. Lin Ye's mouth twitched. After thinking for a while, he told Bai Jinye about the Zhenwu Power Transmission Wall.
"That is to say, I am only at the fifth level."
Bai Jinye looked at Lin Ye meaningfully, and then said slowly: "You practice martial arts, Taoism, and Buddhism, and you have cultivated them to such a level. Even if you look at many worlds, you are the only one ."
Facing Bai Jinye's praise, Lin Ye was not complacent at all. He already knew that martial arts were not prosperous in other worlds except this one, so his only skill did not have any advantages.
"Lin Ye, considering that you and I have a good relationship, I have revealed a lot of information to you. Now it is time for me to fulfill the agreement between the pawn shop and Wu Zu."
Bai Jinye suddenly revealed a strange smile, which made Lin Ye alert. He always felt that Bai Jinye's smile seemed to be some kind of teasing smile.
"Lin Ye, this level is very simple. The Martial Ancestor once said: If the person coming here is not a martial artist, let me ask you another question: Are you willing to abandon your Taoist or Buddhist cultivation and focus on the path of martial arts?"
