In the two days after Mei Yuanchen and Yi Buyi left, Xu Jinye was really bored alone in the eldest princess's mansion. Although there was no confinement in the house, there were servants all over the place, and he did not dare to move around at will. Instead, he spent 99% of the day staying in the courtyard where he was temporarily staying.
He has been using Zhenwu Temple's bone-healing medicine, and his leg injury has been mostly healed. Apart from the fact that he is still unable to use strength, his daily walking is not seriously affected. Unfortunately, as a guest, he was unable to use his fists and swords, so he had to immerse himself in meditation and practice internal strength.
It just so happened that he had a lot of insights during the battle with Zhang Suiguang on the bank of Hongshi Bay.
"Both the Yan Gang and the Xu family are world-famous for their Wuji Kung Fu. Our Xu family's internal strength emphasizes the complementarity of yin and yang, the balance of hardness and softness, and the strength is long and thick. However, the Yan Gang's kung fu is powerful and unparalleled. He really wanted to penetrate the enemy with all his strength. That night, during the competition of internal strength, as soon as Zhang Suiguang put his palms together, the energy in Zhang Suiguang's hands surged like a torrent bursting through the embankment, and the momentum was surging. My hands were so stimulated that they became weak and numb in an instant. Then, despite all my efforts, Even if luck and strength are against each other, they can only maintain their strength and find it difficult to reverse the decline. By comparison, the Xu family's Wuji Gong is like an iron spear with a wooden handle under the head, which is beneficial to the spirit, while the Yan Gang's Wuji Gong is like a forged iron spear. In the javelin, advantage lies in emphasis. That night in the internal strength competition, I obviously fell behind. I don’t know if it was because I didn’t practice the Yin Yang Wuji Kungfu to perfection, or was it because the Salt Gang’s Pure Yang Wuji Kungfu was indeed superior? What if it was my father, Uncle, can they be defeated?"
Xu Jinye's achievements in martial arts today are due to his profound knowledge and extremely high personal talent due to his high birth status. He is also fond of martial arts, warlike, and thoughtful. Every time he faced off against a master, he would review and summarize it over and over again. From then on, his martial arts would improve to a greater or lesser extent. This was true for his sword competition with Zhan Ming, and his internal fist and palm skills competition with Zhang Suiguang.
"Pure yang means the most rigid. 'Use rigidity to overcome rigidity' is the way of that guy from Yuan Chen. My Xu Family's Wuji Kungfu pays equal attention to yin and yang, and I have always been good at 'using softness to overcome rigidity'. The so-called 'using softness to overcome rigidity' is nothing but There are two ways to unload force and borrow force. The key to unloading force is to "concentrate the force into nothingness", and the difficulty of borrowing force is to "lead the force to return". Zhang Suiguang's Wuji Gong is so powerful that it may be difficult to "guide the force to return" If it is difficult to do, then the only trick left is to "gather strength to dissolve nothing". Hmm... Use both hands to receive force, gather it at the left and right Laogong points, and then use the air path of the Jueyin Pericardium Meridian to release the force. The Qi is introduced into the Tianchi point, and then the Qi is transformed and exhaled with the power of the chest and lungs. As long as the air diameter in my body is tough enough and the chest and lungs are strong enough, his Wuji Gong Qi will enter my body like a mud cow entering the sea, and will spread through my body. Everything around me is nothing. Wonderful!"
After figuring out all the secrets, Xu Suye laughed with great joy, and his voice could be heard dozens of feet away.
"Haha, it seems that Mr. Xu is having a double happiness today." Qiongqi's voice came from outside the garden gate.
Literary men have always looked down upon each other, while military men have always valued each other. Qiongqi has practiced martial arts for many years. Although he works in the palace, he still has a martial arts spirit in his heart. He has some respect for this master of his nephew generation. Since Xu Jinye entered the house, Qiongqi has been preparing for every need. The two of them have been getting along quite harmoniously these days. If Xu Jinye hadn't already taken advantage of it, they would have started to discuss it in the small courtyard.
"Haha, good morning, senior!" Xu Jinye greeted him and said with a smile, holding a salute with both hands, "Junior learned some martial arts experience, and got carried away for a moment, and taught senior a joke."
Along the way of martial arts, the gap between people is often widened by one experience after another.
When martial arts practice reaches a certain depth, improving one's realm no longer depends on diligent study and practice, but on gaining insights into martial arts again and again. Hard practice is a repetitive process, and insight is a process of discovery. Hard practice will only make people more proficient in the skills they have already mastered, but insights can help people learn new skills. It is important to study hard and practice hard when you first get a glimpse of the skills, but after "the techniques and tricks are thoroughly mastered", it is no longer important. This is the reason why "there are many martial arts practitioners but few ascend to the throne" and "those with high status are quiet".
Think about it, which real master would practice diligently every day?
"Second Young Master has achieved such a level of cultivation even before he was young, and now he has realized the 'knowledge'. His talent is so high that ordinary people like us can't even imagine it!" Qiongqi sighed with his eyes burning. He practiced martial arts for more than five hours every day. He was not diligent, but it was still difficult to be among the first-class masters. What he lacked was this "enlightenment". It's a pity that "enlightenment" can only be found by oneself, and no one else can help.
Xu Jinye waved his hands and smiled bitterly, and said: "Senior, you are ridiculous. Young Master Yuanchen of your mansion is eight or nine years younger than me, but his martial arts skills are not weaker than mine at all. When it comes to talent, I am far inferior to him. .”
He never noticed that his talent and martial arts skills were inferior to those of others. However, every time he thought of Yi Qingxin's love for Mei Yuanchen, he could not suppress the envy in his heart. Thinking of this, Xu Jinye couldn't help but sigh to himself: "Oh, I really can't compare to him..."
Qiongqi had seen Mei Yuanchen's skills with his own eyes. He was as fast as a rabbit and as fast as a giant. He admired her from the bottom of his heart and fell into admiration. "Young Master looked at Wenwen and Jingjing. Who knew that there was someone with such skill?" Martial arts, think about the time when he first came from Qingxi, he was still a young martial arts kid who didn't know anything about fists and kicks... Such a heaven-defying talent, hehe, let alone seeing it with his own eyes. I’ve never heard of it.”
Seeing Xu Jinye's sad face, Qiongqi smiled and replied: "The second young master and the young master Yuanchen are both top-notch prodigies in the world. They are the 'double peer' in the world. It is rare for you two to have such a good relationship. They will definitely become successful in the future." A legendary story in the martial arts world."
Although warriors value each other, knowing each other is another matter. Among the current martial arts masters, there are really not many who have a deep friendship with each other. On the contrary, there are many who are hostile to each other due to reputation, interests and many other reasons.
After hearing what he said, Xu Jinye felt a little happy in his heart and chuckled silently.
"Hey!" As if he suddenly remembered something, Qiongqi slapped his forehead heavily and said angrily, "I was so busy talking that I almost forgot about business. Second Young Master, your Xu family members are here!"
... ...
As everyone knows, the Xu family is divided into inner and outer sects.
The inner sect members are all members of the Xu family. Although there are less than a thousand people, there are many experts. In addition to the three brothers who are the head of the family, the leaders of the younger generation include Xu Suye, Xu Suyan, Xu Sumo, Xu Suxun, Xu 9. Xu Xuqi and others, in terms of skill, they are not weaker than the top figures of the second-rate sects in the world. Among them, Xu Jinye, who has been in the world for several years, has already earned the title of "Ruozhou Xu Er" due to his mastery of the Xu family's swordsmanship. He is definitely a top master who is known to everyone in the world today.
The outer sect of the Xu family is composed of many guests of the Xu family and their clansmen. The number of people is large. In Ruozhou alone, there are more than 5,000 people, which can be said to be a huge force. However, people from the outer sect of the Xu family rarely move around in the world. The ones who are relatively famous are mainly older masters, such as Jiang Canghai, Su Chirui, He Yuanzheng and others.
When it comes to the number one person in the outer sect, it is naturally Jiang Canghai.
Twelve years ago, the Southern Gang's power expanded to the north and they decided to build a branch in the north. The initial location of the branch was Ruozhou. After all, Dahua is the only state capital that connects the north and south and connects the east and west.
He Zan and a group of people had just settled in the newly built Nanbang sub-rudder. That night, Jiang Canghai came to the door one by one.
Early the next morning, He Zan and a group of Southern Gang masters packed their bags and left Ruozhou in dejection, never to return.
As for what Jiang Canghai said and did after entering the Nanbang branch that night, no one has ever been able to tell clearly. However, what is certain is that although the Southern Gang has expanded northward in recent years, it has never gotten involved in any business in Ruozhou.
One person can intimidate a group. This is the strength of the number one person in the outer sect of the Xu family.
It's a pity that Jiang Canghai's son has mediocre qualifications and physical disabilities. Fortunately, he gave birth to two sons with extraordinary talents. Jiang Xiaobai and Jiang Xiaoyu were personally taught by their grandfather to urinate. When they grew up, they worshiped Xu Xiaoyi and Xu Xiaoshi respectively. They soon showed their prominence in the sect and both ranked among the top ten young masters of the outer sect. Among them, in the previous martial arts preliminaries for the Wulin Alliance, the boss Jiang Xiaobai even defeated a master like Feng Cong who had been famous for decades, and became famous all over the world.
In addition to brothers Jiang Xiaobai and Jiang Xiaoyu, others who are famous in the alliance include Wang Yutang, Su Qingshan, He Zhengrong, Yuan Bugui, Ran Sheng and others. Although the Xu family was defeated overnight, after showing off their skills on the Huimeng campus, the names of these outside disciples of the Xu family had already spread throughout Dahua through the mouths of tens of thousands of scattered Jianghu guests.
Many people who were prominent in the martial arts world were defeated by the little-known descendants of the Xu family on the Sifang stage in Ruozhou.
The so-called background is like this when you think about it.
Xia Chengxuan still wanted to take over such a sect with such rich heritage for his own use, especially after losing Baiweitang.
Ran Jiangong didn't understand the emperor's nephew's thoughts. After receiving the news from the capital, he quickly settled the matter.
The Xu family needed a way out and a way out, and just in time, the court was willing to give it to them. For the Xu family, especially the thousands of people outside the Xu family, this is a blessing among misfortunes. Therefore, without much resistance, Jiang Canghai and He Yuanzheng discussed it and selected twelve people to rush to the capital to help Xu Jinye receive the emperor's order. If it is done, it will be regarded as a way out for the Xu family.
Having been favored by the Xu family for many years, the master's family has now turned to the imperial court as soon as it fell. This is really not nice to say. The older generation are somewhat concerned about their appearance and do not dare to go to the capital in person, so the people who are ordered to go north to the capital this time are all from the outer sect. The younger generation.
Among the twelve people, Jiang Xiaobai was the leader in martial arts, so he naturally became the team leader. He led a group of brothers and hurried all the way, and finally arrived at the capital at sunrise today.
Taoist Wu Shi and Mei Si'en, who entered the city half an hour earlier than Jiang Xiaobai and his party, were still arguing over where to go first.
"Of course we go to the eldest princess's mansion." Mei Si'en insisted, "I have inquired and found out that Yuan Chen is the adopted son of King Qianja. If he is in the capital, he will probably be there."
When he came from Jinzhou, he didn't just rush. After asking many questions about the Mei family, he finally understood everything.
Taoist Wushi pursed his lips and retorted: "With the way we are dressed, do you think we can enter the eldest princess's mansion? Hey!"
He has lived in the capital for several years, and is very familiar with the hospitality and security of a distinguished family. "If there are no invitations, documents, tokens, seals, ribbons and other tokens, just asking for an audience with a mouth, the palace guard will There's no way they'll let us in."
If he doesn't say these things, Methien really doesn't know. When he lived in Mei Mansion when he was young, Mei Wanting was only a second-rank official, and had no title. In this capital city where the royal family was everywhere and important officials gathered, he was not very prominent. What Taoist Wu Shi said, Mei The government did not have it, so naturally he had never seen it.
"Let's go to the Zhenwu Temple." Taoist Wushi put his elbow on Mei Si'en's waist and advised, "Why don't we go to Guoshan first, and I'll let the people from the Zhenwu Temple take us to visit."
