"Of course, it is the best martial arts in the world."
As soon as these words came out, the surroundings suddenly became quiet. It was not until a few breaths that the whispers gradually appeared in the hall.
As time went by, the discussion became louder and louder and less concealed. Until the end, the entire hall seemed to have become a vegetable market, with a very noisy sound.
Everyone present looked at Meng Xiuyuan, and from the original careful look, they became more and more wanton, even with unconcealed ridicule.
Because as soon as this statement was spoken, Meng Xiuyuan's image in their eyes instantly changed from the mysterious Wudang master to the young boy who was ungrateful and spoke wildly.
After all, there are more than a hundred martial artists in the world, with profound sects and long-standing inheritance. Who dares to say that their kung fu is the best in the world?
Kong Zhi on the opposite side laughed first, no longer looking at Meng Xiuyuan, but instead crossed him and said directly to Song Yuanqiao behind him:
"Hahaha, Daxia Song. On this occasion today, will your Wudang Sect let such a young boy speak nonsense?
I know you are caring for your junior brother, but when we are talking about the serious matters, can we make him quiet first? Now is not the time to play with children."
He was born with a bitter face, frowning and drooping corners of his mouth. Now, when he smiled like this, his expression became more and more strange and sarcastic.
Not far away, the elder of Kunlun Sect, Xi Huazi, was already full of anger. Seeing Meng Xiuyuan's words so badly, he naturally couldn't help but take this opportunity to speak out and suppress Wudang's arrogance, so he said sarcastically:
"Oh, the monk Kongzhi, you can't blame Young Master Meng. He seems to be only sixteen or seventeen years old. He heard that he had been to Wudang Mountain since he was a child and was favored by Zhang Zhenren and the Seven Heroes of Wudang.
With this experience, the Wudang Sect can be taught as well as Meng Xiuyuan now.
It is normal to say something ignorant and say something ignorant of the world. There is no need to blame too much."
After saying that, he stroked his beard proudly, as if the elders were teaching the younger generation carefully.
"Don't talk nonsense. I believe that since Young Master Meng dares to say this, he will definitely have some support." Kunlun leader He Taichong took care of Wudang's face and scolded Xi Huazi, but in fact he also looked down on Meng Xiuyuan a lot, and his feelings of a little fear of Meng Xiuyuan dissipated in vain.
Seeing this, the Seven Heroes of Wudang were angry, but seeing that Meng Xiuyuan was still calm, he knew that he was intentional about this, so he didn't say anything.
After ten years of being together, they already trust this junior brother very much.
Sure enough, Meng Xiuyuan ignored these sarcastic words and just looked at Shaolin host Kong Wen and asked:
"Monster, do you believe what I say?"
Kong Wen was cautious by nature and was extremely cunning. He did not deny it directly, but said:
"Zhang Zhenren has a profound attainment in martial arts, so I naturally admire him. The martial arts he created must have some strengths.
I just don’t know what kung fu is Meng Xiuyuan referring to as the “first in the world”?”
Meng Xiuyuan said freely without any concealment:
"I am stupid in my qualifications. Master only taught me one sword technique, one palm technique, and one internal skill, but they can all be called the best in the world."
His still confident look made everyone present sigh in their hearts: It turns out that this kid is not only arrogant, but also has a thick-skinned face.
On the contrary, when Monk Kongzhi saw this, his mind suddenly calmed down with a flash of inspiration. He consciously figured out the key points of things, and shouted loudly again:
"Senior brother, no, we have been hit by this kid's trick.
Don't listen to this kid's nonsense again. I think he was deliberately speaking wildly to attract our attention.
Think about it, what is the purpose of our coming today?
The Wudang Sect has made an explanation for the matter of the Longmen Escort Agency, but they still kept it a secret and didn't say anything about the whereabouts of the evildoer Xie Xun.
Since we started, this kid has been obsessed with the matter of Shaolin Jiuyang Gong, and even said that he should use the martial arts of "the world's number one" to exchange for such nonsense, which has led us to the wrong side.
I see that he is unwilling to explain the whereabouts of Xie Xun's evil thief, so he is talking nonsense here, deliberately leading our thinking!”
As soon as Kong Zhi said this, it immediately caused many responses in the hall.
"You are right!" "This is reasonable!"
"Luckily Master Kongzhi, otherwise we would have been deceived by this kid."
"I just said, what kind of nephew is injured? How could it be such a coincidence?"
"Yes, otherwise why did we just ask Xie Xun about it, and he came in with the child in his arms."
"Hmph, it was all arranged in advance by the Wudang Sect!"
The hundreds of people here are here today for Xie Xun and Dragon Slaying Sword, so they will naturally not give up. They were attracted by the interaction between Meng Xiuyuan and Shaolin and Emei just now, and now they are "deciphered by Kong Zhi" and naturally feel that they have been guided and deceived.
Meng Xiuyuan was not anxious when he saw this, but said loudly:
"Everyone, you have wronged me. I want to know where Xie Xun and the Dragon Slaying Sword are, so why is it difficult to do this?
My fifth senior brother and Xie Xun are sworn brothers, and they cannot be said due to morality. But I have nothing to do with Xie Xun, and I also know Xie Xun's whereabouts.
If you want to listen, ask me..."
"Junior brother!" As soon as Meng Xiuyuan said this, Zhang Cuishan was the one who was most excited. He was afraid that Meng Xiuyuan would really tell Xie Xun's whereabouts for Zhang Wuji's safety and put him in disloyalty and unrighteousness.
However, Song Yuanqiao and others beside him quickly comforted him. They knew Meng Xiuyuan and would not do such stupid things.
Sure enough, before Meng Xiuyuan finished speaking, he just continued:
"But, I can't tell you this news so easily, so naturally there must be conditions."
The hundreds of people present at the sects, not only did they not disappoint when they heard Meng Xiuyuan's words, but they were all excited.
They had long thought in their hearts that the Wudang Sect would not explain Xie Xun's whereabouts so easily. After all, it was related to the Dragon Slaying Sword. Everyone who came to the scene even made preparations to fight with the Wudang Sect in advance.
Now Meng Xiuyuan said that there are conditions, which means that he can negotiate and have a way to satisfy him. This is equivalent to letting go, and everyone is naturally happy to hear this.
As the main person, Kong Wen asked spontaneously on behalf of everyone:
"But I don't know what requests Meng Shaoxia had before he was willing to tell the whereabouts of the evil thief Xie Xun?"
Meng Xiuyuan saw the other party taking the bait and felt happy, but pretended to be a little angry and said:
"You can see that although I am young, I am also a personal disciple of the second generation of Wudang Mountain.
Today you mocked my master's martial arts and implicitly mocked me for respecting my teacher, Zhenren Zhang.
Not only can I not overcome this hurdle in my heart, but I can’t overcome this hurdle in my heart!”
Kong was also happy when he heard this. He didn't expect it to be so simple, so he hurriedly said:
"So that's the case, we were negligent. The words were really inappropriate, which made Meng Shaoxia misunderstand.
On behalf of everyone here, I will apologize to you, Young Master Meng..."
Meng Xiuyuan immediately raised his hand and interrupted Kong Wen's words:
"Well, let me be proud of the monk Kong Wen. I don't need you to apologize. Face is not given by others, but earned by yourself.
Besides, I just said that what my master passed on to me was the world's number one magical skill, which was used to exchange Shaolin Nine Yang Gong with you. If you don't believe it, I will naturally prove it to you.
Today, all the good things have been said, so we, the people in the martial arts world, will see the truth under our hands!"
Speaking of which, Meng Xiuyuan finally found out what he wanted.
He glanced at everyone and said deliberately with a arrogant expression unique to young people:
"I want to make a bet with everyone present, and the bet is Xie Xun's whereabouts.
Everyone here, as long as someone can win a move and half a stance under my hands, proving that my master said that my kung fu was not the best in the world, then I will tell you carefully that if you want to know the news, there is nothing else to ask for.
If one person beats me, I will tell that one person. If ten people beat me, I will tell the ten people.
Never deny it.
But if no one here can beat me today, then my conditions will change.
I want the Shaolin monk to save people with my Nine Yang Master, and I won’t use any martial arts in exchange for this time.
I still want everyone here to go down the mountain immediately. I will not stay on Wudang Mountain anymore, and I will not bother my Wudang Sect because of Xie Xun's affairs in the future.
Such a bet, can all the seniors here have the courage to accept it?"
