Zhao Rui said: "Beimingzi also asked this question. Sima Chengzhen said that it is easy. We only fight with words, not with force. We will tell you the martial arts that we are most proud of. If the opponent has no way to break it, then that is the number one martial arts secret." , and their descendants who follow this practice will naturally be number one in the world, wouldn’t that mean they are number one in ten thousand years?”
Jiang Shuo nodded and said, "That makes sense."
Yin Ziqi snorted again and said: "In this way, the three of them are good at winning, and they can be three against one."
Zhao Rui said: "That's right, Sima Chengzhen's sect is the most pure in internal strength. Old Dugu's light kung fu of walking through the stars is unparalleled in the world. Master Zhao, I am not talented. I have a little bit of skill in capturing acupoints, fists and kicks."
Yin Ziqi said coldly: "Dong Yanzi is too humble. If the Qiankun in this sleeve had only a small amount of effort, this boy would have been killed by Er He's hands."
Jiang Shuo looked at Zhao Rui in surprise. Zhao Rui was wearing a long shirt and had kept his hands in his sleeves. He laughed when he heard this, flung his sleeves, and dropped a few clods of earth. It turned out that when the wall collapsed, Zhao Rui I grabbed a few pieces of plaster that fell off the wall. The plaster was so old that it looked like pebbles when crushed in my hands. Zhao Rui held it in his hand. Whenever the Erhe brothers' blades were about to strike Jiang Shuo, he would pop out a small clod of earth and deflect the blades. This is why Jiang Shuo can advance and retreat so freely under the two swords. Otherwise, He had never had any experience facing an enemy. No matter how magical his star-crossing step was, he could not dodge every blow from the two men. However, the clod of earth was extremely small and light, and Zhao Rui's strength was just right, but he only deflected the blade. Some of them were just enough for Tong'er to avoid, so that Jiang Shuo and the Erhe brothers didn't even notice.
Zhao Rui clapped his hands and said with a smile: "I see that the two gentlemen are also joking with this child. Otherwise, how could a little kid take so many moves? Master Zhao, I just saw that the two of them missed and were about to chop down the child from the side." It's just a frame." He said that the Erhe brothers' missed attack on Jiang Shuo was intentional, and instead said that the two men's attack was a miss. This made the Erhe brothers' faces turn red and white, and everyone else listened. I felt funny, but also surprised by the weirdness and unpredictability of his technique.
Cheng Ang asked, "Master Zhao, what happened to the martial arts contest that day?" It was disgraceful for him to be the internal agent of the Pinglu Army, but he was not ashamed at all, and even asked Zhao Rui himself.
Zhao Rui didn't take it seriously at all, and said: "It was a martial arts competition that day. Beimingzi made one move, and the three of us made one move. The two sides talked or gestured. Although they didn't fight, we were all familiar with each other. Zi, you will know whether you can resist the enemy by looking at the opponent's moves. After three days and three nights, there are probably thousands of moves in the fight, and there is no winner or lose. In fact, Beimingzi's moves are based on internal strength, Qinggong and footwork. , all the moves are our own, but the three of us use the strengths of the three schools to make moves. We use Sima Chengzhen’s internal strength, Dugu Wen’s footwork and Confucius and my short fighting techniques. Therefore, the martial arts described by Beimingzi are made from Yes, the kung fu mentioned by the three of us is actually impossible to use. Of course, it does not mean that it cannot be done, but to use the kung fu we talk about, one must be familiar with the three schools of kung fu, but the inner strength, flying The three martial arts of Yan Chuan Xing and Qian Kun Palm require more than thirty years of hard work. Even if you practice hard for a lifetime, you may not be able to achieve great success. How can you have time to practice other martial arts? No matter who can live to be a hundred years old , After mastering all three skills, he will be too old and weak to fight. Therefore, it is said that Beimingzi has two unique skills in one person, and his intelligence can be said to be unrivaled in the world."
Jiang Shuo said: "Since Beimingzi is extremely intelligent, can't he see that the tricks you mentioned are impossible to use?"
Zhao Rui said: "How could he not know? It's just that Sima Laodao made it clear to him in advance that the comparison is about the level of martial arts moves and not the level of individual skills. Beimingzi wants to be the best in the world for ten thousand years. Of course, he can't say that others are not allowed to use a few of them. Let’s compete with him in Kung Fu, because there is no guarantee that future generations will not have a genius who possesses several unique skills. Moreover, at that time, he was very confident in the two Kung Fu he created and thought that there was no one who could surpass him in martial arts in the world.”
Cheng Ang said: "In an ordinary martial arts competition, it is possible to fight endlessly, hundreds or even thousands of rounds. But in this martial arts competition, you only need to explain every effort over and over, and see if there is a way to solve it, and you will naturally decide the winner." If you lose, how can you fight for three days and three nights and tens of thousands of rounds?"
Zhao Rui rolled her eyes at Cheng Ang and said with a smile: "This Cheng Shi's nephew is not a very good character, but he is very quick to see opportunities." When he heard Jiang Shuo's story about his past that day, he said that there was something wrong with Cheng Ang. Today he met other people. Everyone was dressed as a northerner, but Cheng Ang was dressed as a southerner, so he knew that this person was Cheng Ang, so he teased him.
However, Cheng Ang was not angry at all, and crossed his hands with a smile, as if Zhao Rui was talking about someone else. Zhao Rui did not say much to him, and continued: "At the beginning, Beimingzi moved very quickly, but we moved very quickly. Slowly, because there are three of us. When he says a move, we have to discuss how to respond, how to position our feet, how to use our hands, how to operate our internal power... After a hundred moves, the three of us gradually moved with our minds. Interconnected, advancing and retreating smoothly, and also understood Beiming's Kung Fu skills, so his moves became faster and faster, and the two sides fought evenly... After another hundred moves, Beiming's moves began to slow down, and the three of me The people became more tacit, and their moves became faster and faster. Every time there was a stroke of genius, Beimingzi thought for a long time before he could come up with a way to deal with it... However, after thinking for a long time, he came up with a strange move that was very different from the one he had used before. , we realized that he was creating his own moves. Dugu Laoer said that if he could create his own moves, couldn’t we? So the three of us also racked our brains to come up with new moves to deal with him. In this way, the two sides entered as follows: It takes an average of an hour or two for an official to come up with a move. Therefore, the skills that everyone has learned before are actually completed on the first day, and the next two days are spent racking their brains to think of new moves."
Jiang Shuo had seen Ge Ruliang, Nan Jiyun and others fight before, and had already gotten a glimpse of the wonders of martial arts. He had just fought against brother Erhe. Although he could only dodge and not fight back, he was secretly assisted by Zhao Rui, so he did not feel the fear of the sword at all. On the contrary, I found it very fresh and interesting. He heard Zhao Rui say that after the competition, the four of them actually started to create their own martial arts. He couldn't help but be fascinated by it, and blurted out: "It is such a joy, but it is a pity that I was born thirty years later and was not able to experience it."
Cheng Ang sneered and said, "Even if you were born sixty years earlier, I'm afraid it won't be your turn to go to Yuxiao Peak."
Zhao Rui patted Jiang Shuo on the shoulder and praised him: "It's good that a good boy has ambition. But in fact, the danger on the peak that day was no less than a fight with real swords and guns."
Jiang Shuo asked curiously: "Master Zhao, you are just talking and making gestures without actually taking action. How can you be so dangerous?"
Zhao Rui said: "The longer both sides think about it, the more dangerous it becomes to make a move. It's like imagining an abyss in your mind. You don't have to actually walk to the cliff to feel weak in your legs."
Jiang Shuo closed his eyes and imagined it silently in his mind, and felt that it was indeed the case, and his feet were really wobbly. Zhao Rui saw that his eyes were closed and his legs were trembling slightly, and he couldn't help laughing and said: "Look, Master, what I said is true, right? But this is just a metaphor. In fact, it was much more dangerous that day. At that time, the four of us were Concentrate and meditate on the opponent's moves, and think about the natural flow of Qi in your body, as if you are really fighting with your opponent. If you are unable to decipher the opponent's moves for a while, you will feel chest tightness and suffocation, as if there is a real internal force attacking. Soon we four Everyone has a similar feeling, and they know that this is the inner demon. Those who practice excellent internal skills are most afraid of meeting the inner demon. If they are not careful, their muscles and veins will be injured or they will die immediately. Everyone sits cross-legged and meditates for twelve times. He held on to Yuan Shouzhen with all his strength to prevent him from going crazy. In this way, while using his kung fu to suppress the inner demons, he was thinking about ways to crack the opponent's moves, and his moves became slower and slower. Dugu Lao'er's kung fu is light and agile, and his internal strength is cultivated. I was a little bit worse, and soon there would be dangers. Master, I was also depressed in my heart, and my mouth was dry and bitter, and I was afraid that I would vomit blood if I couldn't hold on for long. At this time, Sima Chengzhen put his palms against mine and Dugu old man's palms, and I But I felt a gentle internal energy coming from me, and the annoyance in my heart suddenly disappeared. I turned around to see the old man Dugu, whose eyes were gradually becoming more relaxed. We each also used a palm to offset each other. In this way, the three of us are connected with each other and can help each other. There is no risk of going crazy, but in this case, there will really be three people besieging Beimingzi alone."
At this point, Yin Ziqi "hummed" again, but Zhao Rui ignored it and continued: "It was already late autumn, and it was already very cold on Yuxiao Peak, but the four of them were like sitting in a steamer. Beimingzi finished his move , when the three of us were thinking hard about countermeasures, bursts of white smoke came out from our heads. Once the three of us figured out the countermeasures and talked about the countermeasures, it was Beimingzi's turn to have smoke coming out from the heads of the four of us. Taking turns to smoke, just like four human incense burners, it's really fun." At this point, Zhao Rui laughed twice, but there was no smile in his tone. Yin Ziqi, the He brothers, Cheng Ang, etc. are all experts Everyone knew how dangerous the situation was at that time. Just listening to it made my mouth feel dry, as if I were there in person.
Zhao Rui continued: "We all know that we are now in a desperate situation. Either Beimingzi dies or the three of us are killed on the spot. In fact, we don't have any deep hatred against Beimingzi. We don't have to put him to death, but Everyone responded with all their strength and tried their best to remain undefeated. They really didn't dare to give in at all. I think Beimingzi probably thought the same way, but he couldn't stop...
At this critical juncture, I suddenly heard a man at the bottom of the mountain composing a verse: "Being uncontaminated in all circumstances is called non-thought; leaving the state with one's own thoughts, and not having thoughts in the Dharma." 'When we heard this, we were all shocked, as if we had some enlightenment.
The man came very quickly. He was still on the mountainside when he spoke. After saying a few verses, he had already reached the peak. I saw an old monk sitting cross-legged among the four of us, and continued: "What's wrong with nothing?" What are you thinking about? There is no one who is separated from the two phases and the labors of the world. True Suchness is the body of thought, and Thought is the use of True Suchness. When thoughts arise by nature, even though they see, hear, and are aware, they are not stained by all circumstances and are always at ease. '
I am working hard at this moment. Except for the four people on the peak, I will not be moved even if the sky collapses and the earth collapses around me. However, these few words are transmitted to my ears with extremely deep internal force, but I can hear them really clearly. As soon as the voice falls Suddenly I felt a sense of coolness in my heart, and my fighting spirit was immediately extinguished. "
