"what are you thinking?"
Zhou An glared at him angrily and said, "Are you really afraid of killing someone?"
"I have said that the most important thing is to play well. This is to earn reputation, not to differentiate."
As he spoke, he gnawed away the remaining pig's trotters in his hand and said proudly: "Don't worry, except for me, none of the other old guys have accepted disciples this year."
"I said hello in advance. Your match and opponent have already been arranged. As long as you go on the field and fight all the way, you are guaranteed to be the leader."
"I, Zhou An, still have this little face."
Zhang Yao was stunned again when he heard this, and immediately felt relieved.
He had long heard about the shady practices and unofficial championships in various competitions, and sometimes he was angry about them.
But when the person who is doing the dirty work is a member of the family, and the unofficial champion is himself, then it is naturally different.
"The so-called sedan chair is used to carry people. Master probably did this to help me make a name for myself."
This world is basically a fame and fortune fair, and no one can escape from fame and fortune.
After gaining fame, many things will become very convenient. Zhou An has good intentions in order to help him pave the way.
Although Zhang Yao doesn't want to be famous.
However, this matter was Zhou An's painstaking effort, and he couldn't easily refuse. Besides, there was no danger in this battle, and he could get a leader's prize for free.
As soon as he thought of this, he said: "Master, don't worry, I will definitely prepare well."
Zhou An nodded with satisfaction.
After lunch, he stayed with Zhang Yao again, drinking tea and imparting his experience: "The martial arts competition will not start until half a month later."
"Ayao, after you go on the field, remember not to end the battle too quickly. When you come and I cooperate with each other..."
These experiences are useless for actual combat, but they are still very useful for how to play well and arouse applause from the audience.
After Zhang Yao accepted it carefully, he couldn't help but asked curiously: "Master, among the several martial arts schools in the city, who is the most powerful?"
He had wanted to ask this question for a long time.
There is no first in literature and no second in martial arts. He doesn't believe that the owners of several major martial arts schools have never competed in private.
In this chaotic world, the five major martial arts schools in Changping City advance and retreat together, vaguely forming a loose alliance, so there must be a leader, right?
"Um……"
Zhou An pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "I originally wanted to tell you later, but since you asked today, I will tell you briefly."
"In this world, there are endless skills, martial arts, and unique skills, and everyone is different. Before a real fight, no one can judge the winner of the strong and the weak."
"If we really want to roughly divide it into levels, we can only divide it from the stages of practice, which are the three stages of minor success, great success and perfection."
"Except for Master Zhao of Kuanglei Martial Arts Hall, I and the other masters are all perfect-level warriors. Although there are differences in strength, the gap is not obvious."
When Zhang Yao heard this, he couldn't help but said: "Isn't there any difference between the cultivation realms of inner and outer families?"
"Of course."
Zhou An looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "In the world of martial arts, external martial arts account for 90%, while internal martial arts only account for one percent."
"The difference in strength between the two is actually not big. It doesn't mean that the internal martial arts are actually stronger than the external martial arts."
"The real difference between insiders and outsiders is their life span and future."
"Lifespan and future?"
Zhang Yao's expression moved slightly, as if he had grasped the key.
"good."
Zhou An took a deep breath and said, "My wife has trained her muscles and bones too much, and even though she has gained strong strength in exchange for it, her energy and blood often decline in old age, and she becomes seriously ill, and her lifespan is not as good as that of ordinary people."
"The inner family's true teachings are different. They control the breath, increase longevity, and extend life. While their strength is not weaker than that of the outer family, their lifespan is far beyond that."
"A strong person with a perfect inner family, even if he is seventy or eighty years old, is often still energetic, fair-haired and childlike. Although his strength has declined, he can still perform at 70% to 80%."
When he said this, he paused for a moment, with a hint of envy in his eyes: "The most important point is that a strong person with a perfect inner family has a way forward."
"If you can complete the internal martial arts training to perfection when you are around thirty years old, in your prime years, you can continue to practice the external martial arts while you are still at your peak, and further strengthen your strength."
"This type of people, their internal organs, qi, blood, and physical energy are more than ten times higher than ordinary people. They practice foreign martial arts at a rapid pace, and they will soon achieve great success, even perfection."
"It happens that warriors who have perfected their external skills are unable to practice the true teachings of their internal sect because of the destruction of their bodies and the squeezing of their potential. This is an innate limitation."
"He is perfect both internally and externally. He is an extremely strong person. He can deal with ordinary internal and external perfect warriors as easily as a strong man playing with a child."
"As for the top, there is the legendary martial arts master. His strength is beyond imagination. It is said that he has unpredictable powers."
"But regardless of the ultimate state or the ability of a master, they are exclusive to the true masters of the inner family. Those of us who practice the martial arts of the outer family are not qualified to covet them."
After listening to his words, Zhang Yao's thoughts kept coming.
Small success, great success, perfection, ultimate success, and master, these are the divisions of strength among warriors in the world.
At present, his physical strength is comparable to that of a great warrior, but his true strength is still a little lower, and there is still a long way to go.
"Zhang Yao."
Zhou An looked at Zhang Yao and said solemnly: "I am already old, and my energy and blood have begun to slowly decline. Although the Jinding Gong has been perfected long ago, the way forward has been cut off long ago."
"But you are different. You have a bright future. If you have the opportunity in the future, you will definitely go further than me and the ancestors of all generations..."
Zhang Yao's expression moved slightly, revealing a trace of doubt: "Master, didn't you say that after you have perfected your external skills, there will be no way forward?"
He is not worried that after he practices the Golden Cauldron Technique, he will not be able to practice the true inheritance of the inner family in the future.
After all, he has the source of vitality and the talent of transforming essence, and his body is always in peak condition. There is no so-called problem of excessive destruction or accumulation of hidden injuries.
But Zhou An didn't know this, so where did he get the confidence?
Facing his doubtful eyes, Zhou An smiled mysteriously and whispered: "Ayao, you are different."
"I can tell you that the Zhuang Kung Fu that really has the effect of prolonging life and longevity is inseparable from the true inheritance of the inner family. It is even a simplified version of the same lineage."
Zhang Yao was immediately surprised when he heard this.
He thought of the days in the Qingping Palace, and suddenly understood a doubt he had had:
Why can you practice the Taoist teachings of Shangqing Pavilion after becoming the master of the palace? It is obvious that your qualifications are not up to standard when you are young, and it is too late to practice again when you are older?
Now it seems that it is never too late, because Taiyi Zhuang Gong is a simplified version of the secret Xuan Gong from Qingping Palace!
The Taoists of Qingping Palace have been practicing Taiyi Zhuang Gong since they were young. By the time they reach high-level positions, they are almost complete in Zhuan Gong. It is natural to switch to the secret mystic skills in the palace.
"Do you understand now?"
Zhou An patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "You have a solid foundation in Zhuang Gong. You can transfer to the inner family's true biography of Qingping Palace at any time."
"Although Qingping Palace is gone now, there is a high probability that the true technique is still there. If you can't get it now, you can think of a way in the future."
"With the true inheritance of the inner family, coupled with your amazing talent, there will be no problem in the future not only getting a glimpse of the realm of a master, but at least reaching the top."
Zhang Yao nodded, and then said hesitantly: "But how should we get started with the Qingping Palace's true profound skills?"
"Today's Qingping Palace has long been occupied by the rebel army. It was renamed Qingping Village and is rampant in the countryside, preying on the people."
"I really want to avenge Master Guanlu and all my brothers, but I am not strong enough to do this..."
Zhou An also had a headache when he heard this, and said helplessly: "That group of rebels is really difficult to deal with. The leader is said to be not weak in martial arts."
"I'll think of another way..."
