#73 - Loyal and courageous Shaolin Temple!

As a pseudo-academic, Liang Yue, who could basically memorize everything he saw, considered himself to have some talent in the field of history.

Due to his interest, he would occasionally pay attention to and read some unorthodox books such as unofficial histories.

Shaolin Temple, as a folk temple with legendary colors in Chinese history, was naturally within his scope of attention. Over time, Liang Yue could roughly explain the details whenever this name was mentioned in certain records.

Just by looking at the name, it is known that in this world of "New Shaolin Five Ancestors", Shaolin Temple undoubtedly occupies an extremely important position.

According to his memory, the main characters in this plot are almost all from this ancient temple with a thousand years of history.

According to the script arrangement of "New Shaolin Five Ancestors", the cause of everything seems to be the emergence of a treasure map from the late Ming Dynasty.

The abbot of Shaolin Temple obtained this treasure map by chance. In order to cooperate with the Heaven and Earth Society's chief Chen Jin-nan's great cause of overthrowing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty, the master decided to secretly give the treasure map to Chief Chen.

Unexpectedly, a traitor appeared in Shaolin Temple and revealed the treasure map to the imperial court in advance in order to exchange it for his own wealth and glory.

So the imperial court sent imperial guards to lead troops to encircle and suppress the temple. The abbot was afraid that the treasure map would fall into the hands of the imperial court, so he divided the map into five parts and tattooed them on the backs of the five children, and sent people to send them out through secret passages.

Shaolin Temple was also charged with the crime of rebellion. The resident personnel were almost completely annihilated by the imperial troops, and the entire temple was subsequently burned to ashes...

Not to mention what the heroes of the world who heard the news would think, anyway, Liang Yue was quite shocked.

Because he, who had deliberately paid attention to the development history of Shaolin, naturally knew that although Shaolin Temple had suffered a lot of hardships in its development process, at least in this Qing Dynasty, it had always been treated with courtesy by the imperial court and lived quite comfortably.

According to official historical records, during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Kangxi personally wrote two plaques and bestowed them on Shaolin to show his respect for this ancestral temple of Zen Buddhism.

During the Yongzheng period, Emperor Yongzheng personally reviewed the temple's planning map and took the initiative to bear the cost of more than 9,000 taels of silver for repairing and rebuilding the temple.

Not to mention the Qianlong Emperor's period, this legendary "Perfect Old Man" even personally visited Shaolin Temple and stayed overnight in the abbot's room, writing many poems and plaques for this temple.

The favor of three generations of emperors brought to this ancient temple with a thousand years of history was not just the fame spread throughout the world.

Such a temple favored by the emperor would actually think about overthrowing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty in this world, and was burned down by the people of the imperial court.

At this time, Liang Yue's heart was filled with anxiety...

...

"Ding~! Identity information has been loaded, and system tasks have been issued. Please check them in time."

Immediately, the familiar big turntable appeared in front of him, and various dazzling items had been evenly placed in each pointer area.

Understanding that with his current ability, he couldn't figure out this thing at all, Liang Yue naturally wouldn't spend any more thoughts on it at this time, so after taking a glance at the turntable, he simply ordered.

"Start~"

...

"Stop!"

...

"Ding~! Congratulations to the host for drawing a "Reverse Joint Fighting Technique". It is said that this fighting technique originated from military fighting skills and is combined with traditional ancient martial arts schools.

It belongs to close combat techniques targeting human-to-human confrontation, and the lethality is relatively practical."

"Reverse joint technique? I've heard of the name of this school for a long time. It is said to be a bit similar to grappling and jujutsu. This happens to make up for my weakness in unarmed close combat."

"Not bad! I have to practice it well during the training period!"

Looking at the secret book that was quietly lying in the storage space at this time, Liang Yue didn't hesitate. With a flick of his sleeve, the thin booklet suddenly appeared in his hand.

Open the cover~

With a whoosh, the secret book recording the reverse joint technique suddenly turned into a white stream of light and directly penetrated into his mind.

For a time, various introductions to reverse joint fighting, fighting styles, combat examples, control techniques for the angle and strength of the attack, and even detailed anatomical diagrams of human bones, muscles, etc., appeared in Liang Yue's mind in turn.

Again and again, it challenged this guy's brain's ability to bear and the speed of learning new information and affairs.

Even with Liang Yue's current physical fitness and his energy attribute that far exceeded his average value, he felt a little overwhelmed at this moment.

Unconsciously, this guy's forehead began to ooze traces of sweat, and his old face was even flushed red, with a look of rapid breathing.

A full quarter of an hour later, this abnormal phenomenon began to slowly dissipate from his body.

"Hoo~ I didn't expect the knowledge of this joint technique to be quite thick!"

After receiving the information in his mind, Liang Yue let out a heavy breath at this time. While secretly saying that he had benefited a lot, his face suddenly became happy.

Of course, this knowledge is only knowledge after all. Knowing these various reverse joint techniques and coping methods does not mean that Liang Yue can immediately turn it into his own use and achieve thorough understanding.

This requires a long-term learning and adaptation process.

Above this, if you want to achieve the level of adapting to the time and place, being arbitrary and handy, you need a lot of practical experience accumulation.

Liang Yue, who has lived two lives, naturally understands the truth.

Thinking of those masters in this world who have spent most of their lives immersed in martial arts training, this guy suddenly felt that he still had a long way to go.

"Step~" "Step step~" "Bang!"...

Just as Liang Yue was thinking intently at this time, a burst of messy footsteps suddenly came from outside the temple.

Immediately afterwards, the two wooden doors that could barely cover the small temple were kicked open, and then, with the moaning and groaning of wooden decay, they crashed down in the Buddhist hall.

Along with a cloud of dust that suddenly rose, three figures walked in swaggeringly at this time, looking at Liang Yue, who was facing away from them, with fiery eyes.

"Yo~ Not bad, Xiao Liuzi is quite reliable this time. A Taoist priest actually came to this broken temple!"

"Outlander, hurry up and get up for us brothers!"

"Stop talking nonsense! Be proactive and hand over all the valuables on your body, lest we three brothers have to re-educate you with a taste of physical pain later!"
