Guo Mansion.
The old naughty boy Zhou Botong is pestering Guo Jing to learn the Diao Chan Jin breathing technique.
If Guo Jing doesn't teach him, he will go to Chen Kang.
Huang Yaoshi glared at Zhou Botong and said, "Old naughty boy, you'd better not disturb Chen Kang these two days."
Huang Rong said: "Yes. Old naughty boy, Chen Kang needs to keep his spirits up. He is about to have a decisive battle with King Jinlun and cannot be disturbed."
In a master duel, martial arts is of course important, but mental state is equally important.
Wang Chen and Xiao Liu did not allow anyone to disturb Chen Kang.
Zhou Botong said: "Then tell me, is that Chen Kang really that powerful? You know, my old naughty boy has only two favorite things in my life, practicing martial arts and playing. I want to learn Chen Kang's martial arts .”
Zhou Botong has a pure heart and a simple mind, like a child who has not grown up.
It is precisely because of this simple mentality that his martial arts came from behind and surpassed Master Huang and Master Yideng.
Many years ago, Zhou Botong had silver hair, but recently his hair has turned gray and he has become younger.
Reverse growth is rare, but not impossible.
The real reverse growth happened to Zhou Botong.
Huang Yaoshi said: "Chen Kang's martial arts is indeed very powerful. One of the characteristics of his martial arts is absolute control. Chen Kang's control of his own power can be described as miraculous."
Guo Jing nodded and said, "My father-in-law is right. Brother Chen Kang showed me a unique skill. He can pick up a water balloon the size of an egg with his bare hands. The water balloon is in the palm of his hand and will not fall apart."
Zhou Botong said: "Catch a water polo? I can do it."
With his true energy in his palm, Zhou Botong grabbed the water basin and picked up a crystal clear water polo.
It is not difficult at all to wrap the water polo with Qi.
As long as you are a first-rate warrior, you can almost do it.
Zhou Botong said: "What kind of unique skill is this?"
Guo Jing shook his head and said, "You can't use your internal energy to inflict qi."
Zhou Botong removed his true energy.
Snapped.
The water ball dispersed and turned into water and fell to the ground.
Zhou Botong tried several more times, but it was impossible to catch the water polo without using his true energy.
Zhou Botong waved his hands hurriedly and said distressedly: "No, no. No one can do it without using his true energy. Even if my senior brother is still alive, he definitely can't do it. Guo Jing, you lied to me, right?"
Guo Jing said: "Chen Kang can do it. I saw it with my own eyes."
At that time, Chen Kang reached into the basin and grabbed the water polo.
The water ball trembled rapidly in the palm of his hand, and Chen Kang's palm was like a lotus leaf, not dripping from it.
Chen Kang controlled the power of his palm to condense the water into a ball and not disperse.
This kind of fine control of power can be described as miraculous.
Tai Chi's unique skill of "birds can't fly" is like child's play compared with Chen Kang's "catching water polo".
Zhou Botong felt itchy and wanted to rush out again to find Chen Kang, wanting to see his unique skill of catching water balloons.
Guo Jing and Huang Yaoshi quickly stopped him.
…
Zhang Junbao, Zhang Lezi, Yu San, and Lei Jiu have already left Xiangyang City.
They didn't want to leave, but Chen Kang "drove" them away.
The people staying in the yard now include Wang Chen and Xiao Liu.
As for Li Mochou, she is not a member of the courtyard and can leave at any time.
The whole yard was empty again.
Chen Kang is making soup in the kitchen.
Since yesterday, Chen Kang has stopped practicing boxing and stopped completely.
Chen Kang tasted the soup. Well, it was a bit bland.
Chen Kang said: "Wang Chen, give me the salt shaker."
Wang Chen handed the salt shaker to Chen Kang and said, "Chen Kang, you are sure that Xiangyang City cannot be defended, right?"
Chen Kang looked calm: "Why do you ask? Isn't it obvious? Not to mention a small Xiangyang City, not even the entire Southern Song Dynasty court can be saved."
Wang Chen said: "I don't believe it."
Chen Kang said: "I didn't make you believe it. To do big things, a snake can't do it without a head. The small court in Lin'an City is the leader. Where do you think the court can take everyone?"
"Confrontation between countries is a collision of forces and national strength. A few martial arts masters cannot change the world. Unless the martial arts masters' force can be increased a hundred times a thousand times, and one person can easily kill an army of 100,000, then, You can rely on personal force to control the general trend of the world."
Wang Chen said: "Man can conquer heaven! We can definitely stop the Mongols from going south."
Chen Kang said with a smile: "Man can conquer nature? I believe this when it comes to technology. Because skills can control the direction by themselves, and they can constantly ponder and explore. But when marching, fighting, and governing government, 'man can conquer nature' does not hold true. You The promotion of merit and the management of life are in the hands of others. You are too capable. If your merits exceed those of others, your death will come."
"I, Chen Kang, don't like my destiny to be controlled by others. Therefore, I hate emperors and dog officials. Why do I desperately explore and deduce martial arts skills? I just want to control my own destiny. Only martial arts skills can bring me strength."
Added a little salt.
Chen Kang took another bite, his eyes lit up, and he nodded and said: "It's delicious. The saltiness is just right. Wang Chen, go call Xiao Liu and Li Mochou. The chicken soup is ready. Let's get ready to eat."
Wang Chen glanced at Chen Kang and sighed secretly.
He was finally sure that Chen Kang really was not optimistic about the Southern Song Dynasty and believed that Xiangyang City could not withstand the Mongolian army.
At this moment, Wang Chenjue had no intention of persuading Chen Kang to live or die with Xiangyang.
Wang Chen didn't know why Chen Kang was so pessimistic despite being so powerful in martial arts.
In fact, Chen Kang is not pessimistic.
It was the Southern Song Dynasty court that was really weak.
Mud cannot hold up a wall.
To this day, the small imperial court of Lin'an still adheres to the ancestral motto of "advocating literature and restraining martial arts". The gentry are still engaging in land annexation and living a luxurious life. Leave no way for the common people to survive.
If Chen Kang was a passionate young man, he might have followed Guo Jing to defend the city and fight the Mongols to the death.
But Chen Kang is a man who knows destiny. Chen Kang stood at a higher perspective and knew the law of dynasty cycles.
The state of the Southern Song Dynasty had reached the point of destruction. There is no need to save the Zhao family's small court.
Chen Kang had a battle with King Jinlun. If he won, he would leave Xiangyang.
lose?
If he loses, Chen Kang will die outside Xiangyang City, so there is no need to leave.
…
For three days, Chen Kang did nothing but make soup and cook.
very quiet.
The morning of the third day.
Jin Lun Dharma King is already waiting outside Xiangyang City.
Chen Kang took a shower and changed into coarse linen clothes, with his long gray hair tied up casually.
Guo Jing, Huang Rong, Huang Yaoshi, Zhou Botong, Wang Chen, Guo Fu, Yeluqi, Li Mochou and others were confronting King Jinlun outside the city.
The city walls were full of people.
Lu Wenhuan, the governor of Xiangyang, stood on the city wall.
Although King Jinlun was only one person, his momentum actually suppressed Guo Jing and the others.
"Where is Chen Kang?" Jinlun Dharma King asked, "Didn't he agree to a showdown with me three days ago? Why hasn't he come out now?"
Guo Jing and the others looked at Wang Chen and Li Mochou. The two of them lived in the same compound as Chen Kang, so they must know the situation.
Wang Chen said: "Chen Kang is taking a bath. He will definitely come when he is done. Master, don't be impatient."
Jinlun Dharma King said: "You Han people just like to do these weird things. If you want to fight, just fight, just be sharp."
Wang Chen shook his head and said: "Master, you are wrong. We are not doing anything weird. Chen Kang takes a shower and changes clothes because he attaches great importance to this competition."
Jin Lun Dharma King sneered: "Whatever you say. If Chen Kang doesn't come out again, I will think he is afraid."
Guo Xiang stood next to Huang Rong and said in a clear voice: "My master is not afraid of you. My master is the strongest person."
King Jinlun was surprised when he saw Guo Xiang.
Guo Xiang's eyes are lively and lively.
One look from Guo Xiang touched Jinlun Dharma King.
Guo Xiang inherited Huang Rong's cleverness and was very smart.
Guo Xiang is not as spiritual as Zhang Junbao, but her martial arts talent is second to none, ten times better than her sister Guo Fu.
"King Jinlun, here I come."
Chen Kang took Xiao Liu out of the city gate.
Jin Lun Dharma King looked at Chen Kang.
Compared with ten years ago, Chen Kang's appearance has hardly changed, except that his hair is longer.
The biggest benefit of practicing internal breathing techniques is to slow down aging. Chen Kang's body ages several times slower than ordinary people.
Chen Kang is fifty years old, but his body is still full of vitality.
Jin Lun Dharma King has changed a lot. Not only does he have more white hair on his head, but he also has wrinkles on his face.
It's just that Jinlun Dharma King's eyes are brighter and not cloudy at all.
King Jinlun stared at Chen Kang with a solemn expression and said: "Chen Kang, I haven't seen you for ten years, but your martial arts have improved so much. I feel a threat in you."
Their cultivation has reached the level of King Jinlun and Chen Kang, and their perception is very strong, and they can detect the depth of each other's skills.
Chen Kang said: "Both and each other. Your improvement also surprised me. I don't know to what level Jinlun you have practiced the Longxiang Boruo Kung Fu."
King Jinlun said: "The tenth floor. What about you?"
Chen Kang breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, King Jinlun did not reach the eleventh level of Longxiang Poruo Kung Fu.
Chen Kang said: "I am the pinnacle master of internal martial arts. I am still far away from the level of grand master."
Jin Lun Dharma King took out a secret book and said: "Chen Kang, "Dragon Elephant Boruo Gong" is in my hand. If you win, the skill will be yours. If I win, please hand over the secret book of Neijiaquan. Come out and serve Prince Kublai Khan for another twenty years."
Chen Kang nodded and said, "Okay. This is the bet we made ten years ago. Of course I recognize it."
Jinlun Dharma King said: "I have one more request."
Chen Kang frowned slightly: "What else do you want? King Jinlun, don't be greedy."
Jinlun Dharma King pointed at Guo Xiang and said, "That little girl is your disciple, right?"
Chen Kang nodded and said, "Yes. Guo Xiang is my disciple. She is also the daughter of Guo Daxia and Gang Leader Huang."
Jinlun Dharma King said: "If I win, give me the little girl."
Huang Rong said angrily: "King Jinlun, you are the Mongolian national master, and you are also a martial arts master. You actually want to take advantage of my daughter, how shameless."
King Jinlun said: "Gang Leader Huang, you misunderstood. What I mean is, I won, and I want your daughter to be my disciple. She is suitable to be my successor."
Jin Lun Dharma King really has no other thoughts. He just wants to find a qualified successor.
Guo Xiang's smart eyes made King Jinlun make up his mind to let her be his successor.
Chen Kang glanced at Guo Jing and Huang Rong.
Hand over Guo Xiang to King Jinlun?
Chen Kang can't make the decision in this matter.
Guo Jing said: "Okay. King Jinlun, as long as you can defeat Brother Chen Kang, I will let Xiang'er become your disciple."
Huang Rong said anxiously: "Brother Jing, how can you agree?"
Guo Jing said: "I believe in Brother Chen Kang's martial arts, he will definitely not lose."
Chen Kang nodded and said: "King Jinlun, did you hear it? I agree to your request."
Jin Lun Dharma King laughed and said: "Then let's make an agreement. Chen Kang, please give me a move. Let me see your internal boxing skills again."
Chen Kang said: "I hope you won't use Qinggong to escape this time."
Right now.
Rumble.
There was thunder.
It started to rain heavily.
The rain falling on Chen Kang's body seemed to fall on a lotus leaf, rolling down quickly without getting his clothes wet.
Chen Kang's clothes were shaking slightly.
This shaking keeps the raindrops away from me.
Jin Lun Dharma King's pupils shrank. Chen Kang's skills were so delicate that he couldn't do it himself.
Chen Kang took a step forward, turned into an afterimage, and rushed towards King Jinlun.
