C1015 Martial Arts Competition

August 16th, the martial arts seminar officially began.

As usual, the ceremony was first held. As the biggest event in the martial arts world, the memorial ceremony for the martial arts seminar could be said to be grand and tedious. There were strict requirements for clothing, etiquette, words, and steps.

There were also many places to offer sacrifices. Apart from offering sacrifices to the heavens and earth, offering sacrifices to the Lord of Martial Arts Communities of the past generations, as well as some famous chivalrous men, they also had to offer sacrifices to the "Three Saints. "

This was somewhat similar to Daoism. Daoism used the Lord of Primordial Beginning, the Lord of Numinous Treasure, and the Lord of Morals and Virtue as the Three Purities, while the chivalrous men respected Mo Zi, Kong Zi, and Meng Zi as the Three Saints.

"They also respected Confucianism Mo, using ink as the form and Confucianism as the heart. " It wasn't just the Sword Sect that respected Confucianism, but the entire martial arts world.

There was no need to say much about Kong Zi and Meng Zi. Their status in the Central Plains was known by everyone. As for Mo Zi. . . Everyone in the Pugilistic World respected him as the ancestor of Vigilante, and his status was even higher than Kong Meng and Meng Zi. For example, The first Lord of Martial Arts Community was called "Ju Zi. " Until now, many people would call themselves Mo Zhe. In the ancestral temple. The statues of the three Saints had always been in the middle of Inkman, Kong Meng Yu on both sides.

Kong Zi was respected as the 'Supreme Saint', while Meng Zi was respected as the 'Second Saint'. This was the same in the martial arts world. As for Mo Zi, he was respected as the 'First Saint'. Firstly, he had the intention of being the 'First Prince', and secondly, he had the same voice as Mo Zi's name, 'Zhai'.

In fact, according to the tradition of the Central Plains, it was not appropriate to do so. The homophone was an offense, not to mention that it was a homophone. It was a taboo since ancient times. After Qin and Han, it had flourished even more. As for the "lineal saint," even the position of Lord of Martial Arts Community started from the East Jin.

Everyone respected Mo Zi as the "lineal saint," and it was not that they did not consider the taboo. On the contrary, it was precisely because of the taboo that they deliberately took the word "successor. " To put it bluntly, they wanted to go against him.

At that time, there was a small poem that was circulated among the people:

"The most corrupt Confucianist has many rules, and everything is wasted. If Meng De is the current master, the children and grandchildren should change their surname to what? "

It could be seen that at that time, people had already reached a state of deep hatred towards the matter of avoiding the trouble that was becoming more and more complicated by the day.

Actually, it was not just the name of the "lineal saint. " Even the entire martial arts world was a product of "opposing each other. "

It was common knowledge that the two Jin Imperial Halls had a neutral system of Rank-9. Even though the Humble Class scholars were talented and ambitious, they had no way of returning the country.

Furthermore, after the destruction of the West Jin, the people of Central Plains were not able to make a living. The East Jin small Imperial Court was peaceful and did not think about advancing.

The extravagance of the court and the wilderness was flourishing day by day, and a feminine air was brewing. The ambitions of men were not to confer the title of a wolf to live in the kingdom, but to seek immortality and ask for guidance. Not only did they eat five stone powder all day long, but they were all wearing heavy makeup and did not have the manliness of a man at all.

It was precisely because of this that the group of green forest heroes. . . There were also some nobles and noble families who had launched the banner of the 'martial arts world' on a large scale. Shang Wu, Shang De. Shang Xian. And from time to time, they would gather in one place to meet up. Not talking about background, not talking about family. They would not talk about whether they were high or low, or whether they were rich or poor. There was a saying under his fist.

In the beginning, it was just a simple sparring match. Later on, it gradually became a scale. People set a time and place to meet once a year. The person with the best martial arts skills would be respected as "Martial Emperor. "

At that time, "Martial Emperor. " Even though it was called "Emperor," it was still called Martial Emperor. However, it was only a title, and it didn't have much authority, nor was it highly valued.

Later on, due to the chaotic situation and the suppression of the Imperial Court, many sects were destroyed for no reason, and many chivalrous men were plotted against for no reason.

It was also because of these reasons that the entire martial arts world became one, step by step, and it made the title of "Martial Emperor" more and more powerful.

It was also at that time that the "Three Saints" had also decided on the title of "Sacred Emperor," and at the same time, the name of "Martial Emperor" had been changed to "Ju Zi. " Of course, for various reasons, it was changed to "Lord of Martial Arts Community. "

The Martial Arts Competition had been changed from once a year to once every three years, and then to five years, to seven years. Until now, ten years. Once.

As for the rules of "entering the pugilistic world, not entering the Imperial Court, not entering the pugilistic world," they had already existed since the East Jin era. But at that time, it was not particularly strict, unlike now.

After the memorial ceremony, it was already afternoon. However, there was still a martial arts competition. This was an unwritten rule in the martial arts world.

No matter how late it was, they had to compete. This time, it was still considered short. Previously, there were still people who had to wait until the sky turned dark, but they still had to compete.

At most, there would be four or five matches, and at least two or three matches. It was nothing more than asking for luck.

After the competition, they each went back to rest.

Today was a very restrained day, but it was also very relaxing. There were many rules and many things. Lin Chenghou, Zhu Yongzhen, Lin Fengmo, and the others had already told Lin Yuchen about them. There weren't many things to do. Besides kneeling, kowtowing, and offering incense, most of the time, he just stood there quietly.

Fortunately, the day was peaceful.

The next day, which was August 17th, the martial arts competition officially began.

Everyone gathered in front of the Sweeping Sword Mountain.

The Sweeping Sword Mountain could also be considered a scene in the Sword Sect.

It was over a hundred feet high on the cliff. It looked like a cliff that was chopped with a knife and an axe. Although the top of the cliff was verdant and lush, not a single blade of grass grew on the cliff.

On the cliff, there was even a huge "hero" character carved on it. It was a work of hundreds of skilled craftsmen that took several decades to complete.

There was a natural stone platform at the foot of the cliff. Of course, it was already beautifully built. It was carved with jade and was magnificent. It was called the "Phoenix Stage. "

The martial arts competition was on the Phoenix Stage.

The Phoenix Stage was located in the north, south, east, and southwest. There were four tall pavilions in the east, west, southeast, and southwest. These tall pavilions were all in the form of "outer three, inner five. " During the martial arts competition, some of the famous martial arts heroes and righteous sects were there to watch the martial arts competition.

Similarly, the more distinguished one's status was, the higher the level of one's residence. The four big sects were naturally at the highest level.

However, only a small number of people could enjoy this kind of treatment. Most people stayed in the training field in front of the Phoenix Stage.

This day was still calm and peaceful.

On Phoenix Stage, each and every one of them went all out, fighting intensely. From time to time, there would be cheers from all around. However, Lin Yuchen wasn't in the mood to look at them.

The pavilion where the Sword Sect was located was located in the east. The Mount Tai Sect was located in the southeast.

When Lin Yuchen saw Yuen Xuan's face, he would immediately think of the fight between the two of them in the near future. If he wanted to severely injure her, he would have to hide it from everyone.

There was still no news about Lin Yuhan and Yang Xiaotian. As for the Yang family, after they escaped from the Sword Sect, they did not return to Chengdu. Instead, they had been wandering nearby.

This year's Martial Arts Conference was destined to be chaotic. On August 19th, on the fourth day after the official start of the Martial Arts Conference, something bad happened early in the morning.
