Chapter 240 Stopping in the mundane world, buried in the dust
When the time comes, no one can escape. Even if your martial arts prowess does not reach the sky for a hundred or ten years, you will inevitably turn into ashes in the end.
Zhou Botong didn't notice Zhao Kai's change at all, and continued: "My senior brother and his seven disciples pay attention to cultivating their surname and nourishing their lives every day. Can they really cultivate the immortal body? Therefore, I will not become a Taoist priest." ."
It is possible to become a god through cultivation and enlightenment, but Zhao Kai would not tell Zhou Botong about this, and smiled and said nothing.
Zhou Botong laughed and said: "Huang Shang's enemies are already in their forties or fifties. If there is an interval of more than forty years, wouldn't all of them be dead by then? Haha, haha, in fact, he doesn't have to think about it at all. No matter how he breaks the law or studies martial arts, all he has to do is compete with these enemies for longevity. After more than forty years, God will take care of all his enemies on his behalf. But having said that, studying martial arts has its own endless fun. If you don't delve into martial arts, what more interesting things can you do in the world? Although there are many things in the world, but after playing for a long time, it will eventually become boring. Only martial arts becomes more interesting the more you play. Brother, don't you think so?"
Some people in the world love to be officials, some love gold and jade, and some love beautiful women, but Zhou Botong was obsessed with martial arts. There is no difference in essence, it is just a variety of obsessions.
Zhao Kai smiled and said: "I think Senior Huang Shang is already old at this time and has only a few years to live, but how can he let the forty years of hard work he spent go to waste. So he wrote down all the methods he could think of. There are two volumes of scripture, the upper and lower volumes, and this scripture is called the Nine Yin Scriptures, am I right?"
Zhou Botong nodded and said: "The reason why Huang Shang wrote the "Nine Yin Manual" was written in the preface of the book, and my senior brother learned about it. Huang Shang hid the book in a very secret place. No one has seen it for decades. That year, somehow, this book suddenly appeared in the world. Naturally, everyone who studied martial arts in the world wanted to get it. Everyone was snatching it from me, and it was a mess. My senior brother said that in order to compete for it, More than a hundred heroes and heroes died in this massacre. Everyone who got their hands wanted to practice martial arts according to the scriptures, but after practicing for less than a year and a half, they always failed. After discovering it, they followed and robbed. They robbed and robbed, but no one knew how many people died. The man who got the book tried every means to avoid it, but there were so many people chasing him, and they could never let him go. The conspiracy, hard robbery and soft deception I don’t know how many people have died because of this sutra.”
Zhao Kai said: "That's why the Huashan Sword Theory came into being."
Zhou Botong then told Zhao Kai how Wang Chongyang cheated his death and defeated Ouyang Feng's Toad Kung Fu, how he was deceived by Huang Yaoshi and his wife, and how he was trapped on the Peach Blossom Island.
"That is to say, as long as you can defeat Island Master Huang, brother, you can leave. How does your current martial arts compare to Island Master Huang?" Zhao Kai suddenly asked.
Zhou Botong spread his hands and said helplessly: "I spent fifteen years on Peach Blossom Island, and my time was not in vain. I had nothing to distract myself in this cave. If I had practiced the kung fu elsewhere, it would have taken twenty-five years." Although I have become a lot stronger, Huang Laoxie has not been idle, and his martial arts has always been better than mine. However, I have learned a set of seventy-two boxing techniques from the "Tao Te Ching", which I call Kongming. Boxing skills, brother, please wait, I will demonstrate it to you again."
Having said this, Zhou Botong stood up, walked to the center of the open space, and began to practice the seventy-two hands of the "Kong Ming Fist" he created. Every move he made was as soft and empty as a feather.
; But each punch and palm released was accompanied by an extremely strong wind, causing dust and gravel to fall from the top and walls of the cave. The force was so strong that it was as heavy as a mountain.
Zhao Kai watched the evolution of Zhou Botong's fists, and a clear and clear stream seemed to appear in front of him, flowing slowly according to the natural force of heaven and earth. Under this seemingly gentle and gentle stream, there were hidden countless undercurrents, whirlpools, reefs, and cliffs.
There must be murderous intent everywhere.
I have to say that Zhou Botong's set of Kongming Boxing is indeed unique. After Zhou Botong finished one set, he walked up to Zhao Kai and said, "Brother, what do you think?"
After Zhao Kai pondered for a while, he slowly said: "The essence of the Quanzhen Sect's most superior martial arts lies in the two words 'empty and soft', which is the so-called 'if a great success is lacking, it will have no disadvantages. If a great success is strong, it will be useful.
Its uses are endless, your Kong Ming boxing method has captured its essence, it is really wonderful."
"But I still can't beat Huang Laoxie." Zhou Botong pouted and complained.
Zhao Kai looked at Zhou Botong's naughty attitude, shook his head with a smile, and continued: "Then how do you think you compare to Hong Qigong, the leader of the Beggar Clan?"
Zhou Botong's eyes brightened for a moment, then dimmed again. He shook his head and said, "It's better to be afraid."
Zhao Kai said with a smile: "Your Kong Ming boxing technique is the most soft one, but Qigong's Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms is the most rigid and the most yang form. Logically speaking, softness can lead to hardness, but you can't defeat him. This
It's a matter of strength, not martial arts moves. Qi Gong's Kung Fu is the pinnacle of his family, but if his family's Kung Fu reaches his level, it's probably at the end. But Taoist Kung Fu is
There is no limit. You haven't even touched the threshold yet, so naturally you are not their opponent. At that time, Zhenren Wang was probably just getting a glimpse of the door, but he was already able to win the title of "the best in martial arts in the world". If he is still today
Now, after more than ten years of entering the country, if I compete with Dongxie Xidu and the others, I don’t need to compete for seven days and seven nights. I think I can conquer them in just half a day."
To put it simply, the Taoist method of cultivation is for the later stages. As long as you have enough time to grow, you will be able to crush others. However, you can only live for a hundred years. If you cannot understand the Tao and cultivate the truth, it will ultimately be nothing more than illusion.
Even someone as strong as Wang Chongyang could not take this step and could not help but end up in the mortal world and be buried in the dust.
Zhou Botong was very smart and could naturally understand what Zhao Kai wanted to express. After pondering for a moment, he raised his head and looked at Zhao Kai and said sincerely: "Thank you for your advice, brother."
"Brother, what else can you do? Show it all and let me, the eldest brother, broaden my horizons." Zhao Kai said with a smile.
After hearing Zhao Kai's words, Zhou Botong suddenly became excited again and said with a smile: "Brother, don't be scared later, my stunt is very powerful. I can fight with myself! You see, that's it, I
The left hand is one person and the right hand is another person.”
After saying that, Zhou Botong began to demonstrate, and saw that he was divided into two people. The kung fu of each hand was different, and he did not slow down. He used both hands at the same time. After a while, the fight became inseparable and incomprehensible.
This is the mutual fighting technique of drawing a square with the left hand and a circle with the right hand. Zhao Kai looked at it for a while and tried it himself. It was surprisingly smooth. Zhao Kai possesses the pure Taoist mentality of the Xiaoyao sect, and he can guard the inner world with one mind and the other with one mind.
Outside of his mind wandering, the skill of forming a square shape with both hands was quickly mastered, and Zhou Botong was stunned to see him. (To be continued.)
