Xu Ziyi spent more than a few months in the valley where the "Sword Demon" Dugu Qiubai lived in seclusion in the past. Most of this time was spent instructing Zhang Wuji and Yin Li on their martial arts.
After seeing Zhang Wuji's great success in the Nine Suns Magic Art and Yin Li's achievements, he was reminded by the jade pendant he carried with him and knew that he didn't have much time left in Yitian's world.
Xu Ziyi said goodbye to Zhang Wuji and took Zhao Min and Xiao Zhao to the foot of Wudang Mountain to visit Master Zhang.
Hearing that Xu Ziyi came to visit in person, the Taoist Zhike naturally did not dare to be careless and hurriedly took Xu Ziyi to the main hall on the mountain in person, and they hurriedly reported to Song Yuanqiao, who was in charge of Wudang's academic affairs.
Not long after, Song Yuanqiao, Yu Lianzhou and other four heroes came out to greet him.
When Xu Ziyi saw the lights and colorful decorations everywhere in Wudang Mountain, he couldn't help but asked with a smile: "Song Daxia, but the marriage of Yin Liuxia and Miss Yang is coming soon?"
"Reporting to Master Xu, the sixth brother and Miss Yang have recently set a wedding date by their mentor, and will hold a happy event the day after tomorrow!
"
Seeing that it was Xu Ziyi who asked, Song Yuanqiao naturally told the truth.
"It seems I came at the right time!" Xu Ziyi couldn't help but smile when he heard that Yin Liting and Yang Buhui were getting married soon.
"Thank you so much, Master Xu, for giving me the medicine!"
Yu Daiyan, who was already able to walk on the ground, stood up and thanked Xu Ziyi.
Xu Ziyi said: "You don't have to be polite, Sanxia Yu!"
"Who are you……"
At the same time, Yu Daiyan also recognized Zhao Min, who had disguised herself as a man and came to visit Wudang, and his expression changed slightly.
"Yu Sanxia, you're fine!"
In response, Zhao Min also clasped his fists and smiled.
Seeing the extraordinary beauty of Zhao Min who had changed into women's clothes again, and seeing her standing behind Xu Ziyi, Yu Daiyan's heart moved, and he seemed to understand something, and he also cupped his fists and returned the greeting.
When Zhao Min and Xuan Ming came to Wudang for a visit, Song Yuanqiao and others only heard about it and did not see it with their own eyes. In addition, after they were captured in the capital, they also learned from the exterminator and did not want Wudang's secret knowledge to be spread outside. Therefore, they naturally
Zhao Min was never recognized.
While everyone was talking, they saw Yin Liting and Yang Buhui walking into the main hall hand in hand.
"Brother Xu, isn't my father here?"
From a long distance away, I heard Yang Buhui's voice.
Xu Ziyi said with a smile: "Yang Zuoshi and I just parted ways in Xiangyang City not long ago. If he knows about the happy event between you and Yin Liuxia, he must be on the way by now!"
"Master Xu, I sent someone to send an invitation to your sect a month ago, but unfortunately I have never been able to meet Master Xu!" Yin Liting on the side explained at this time.
Xu Ziyi said: "Not long ago, Wuji and I stayed in the valley for several months. Maybe we missed it because of this!"
"Master Xu, do you know where Wuji is now?"
Hearing Zhang Wuji's name, Yin Liting couldn't help but said in surprise.
Xu Ziyi said: "We parted ways in Xiangyang a few days ago. If my prediction is correct, Wuji and Yin Li must also be on their way to Wudang Mountain!"
"Master Xu, I'm sorry!"
After learning about Zhang Wuji's whereabouts, Yin Liting left happily.
"Master Xu, please also invite Haihan!"
Seeing that his sixth brother was overjoyed but forgot his etiquette, Song Yuanqiao quickly stood up and spoke out.
"No problem!"
In response, Xu Ziyi just shook his head and didn't mind.
At the same time, Xiao Zhao saw Yang Buhui wearing red makeup and couldn't help but praise sincerely: "Miss, you are so beautiful today!"
"Xiao Zhao, you will also have the opportunity to wear this outfit in the future!" Yang Buhui said with a smile after hearing Xiao Zhao's heartfelt praise.
Yang Buhui and Xiao Zhao didn't have much grudges. It was only because Xiao Zhao's origins were a mystery at that time and the Mingjiao was about to face the siege of the six major sects, so he was wary of her.
Now that Yang Buhui and Yin Liting were about to get married, and the two had long since put an end to their past grudges, Yang Buhui saw the hidden envy in Xiao Zhao's eyes and spoke.
What she said made Xiao Zhao blush brightly. When Zhao Min heard this, she smiled without saying a word and looked at Xu Ziyi.
"I came here today just to visit Master Zhang. I don't know..." After some pleasantries, Xu Ziyi revealed his purpose.
"My master is still in the back mountain, please ask Master Xu to move away temporarily!"
Understanding Xu Ziyi's purpose, Song Yuanqiao walked ahead and led the way.
Less than half a cup of tea later, Xu Ziyi once again came to the small courtyard where Zhang Sanfeng lived in seclusion.
The small courtyard where Zhang Sanfeng retreats and meditates is deep in the bamboo forest at the back of the mountain. It is densely covered with trees and green shades. Except for the occasional chirping of birds, there is no sound at all.
Xu Ziyi followed Song Yuanqiao closely behind him. Before he came to the small courtyard, before Song Yuanqiao could ask for an audience, he suddenly heard Zhang Sanfeng's old voice coming from the other door: "Master Xu came to visit in person. The old Taoist Ke Yuan welcomed him. Please forgive me."
." With a sound, the bamboo door opened, and Zhang Sanfeng walked out slowly.
Xu Ziyi smiled slightly and said: "Congratulations to Master Zhang, your cultivation has taken a step closer!"
Seeing his master in the small courtyard, he could distinguish Ziyi's footsteps from afar. Song Yuanqiao couldn't help but be surprised. He couldn't help but understand that his master's martial arts were becoming more and more sophisticated. His martial arts could be detected in the footsteps of strangers.
Learn the sect and cultivate the depth.
It should be noted that Xu Ziyi's inner strength cultivation has changed from real to weak, from true to simple. Regardless of his behavior, eyesight, footsteps, and voice, everything is hidden. However, Zhang Zhenren still noticed the footsteps from a very far away. It was obviously his cultivation.
More diligent than last time.
Therefore, Xu Ziyi, who gained insight from it, spoke.
Seeing his master coming out to greet him, Song Yuanqiao bowed and left, and Master Zhang personally introduced Xu Ziyi into the small house where he lived.
The two of them entered the small courtyard together. They saw a teapot and a teacup on the table, a futon on the ground, and a wooden sword hanging on the wall. There was nothing else. The table and ground were covered with dust.
Xu Ziyi said: "I came here today to ask Master Zhang about something."
Zhang Sanfeng said: "Master Xu said it bluntly!"
Xu Ziyi suddenly said: "Does Master Zhang know the end of martial arts?"
The end of martial arts?
Hearing Xu Ziyi's words, Zhang Sanfeng couldn't help but frown slightly. After pondering for a long time, his eyes fell on Xu Ziyi and said: "The end of martial arts. From an experienced perspective, how far Master Xu can go will represent the end of martial arts!"
"Zhenzhen Zhang is joking!"
When Zhang Sanfeng's words fell into his ears, Xu Ziyi couldn't help but shake his head.
Xu Ziyi was also extremely surprised to be given such an evaluation by Zhang Sanfeng.
Zhang Sanfeng said: "Master Xu, there is no need to be modest. You have mastered both internal and external skills and have reached an incredible level. If an experienced Taoist fights you, he may not be able to hold on to a hundred moves!"
Zhang Sanfeng is a well-deserved great master in Yitian's world, and his eyesight is naturally unquestionable. Just by looking at Xu Ziyi for a moment, he can detect the subtle changes in Xu Ziyi's physique.
There was something Zhang Sanfeng never said.
That is because Xu Ziyi is too young. He is not yet in his thirties, but his martial arts skills have reached an incredible level, and his future achievements may be even more immeasurable.
"Has Master Zhang ever heard of Shattered Void?"
Seeing that Zhang Sanfeng actually gave him such a high evaluation, Xu Ziyi didn't want to be too pretentious and went straight to the point.
"Please give Mr. Xu some advice!"
Hearing Xu Ziyi's words, Zhang Sanfeng couldn't help but frown.
"Return the light to the sun and the moon, and return the darkness to the void!"
Xu Ziyi smiled slightly, but suddenly mentioned a Zen saying that originated from Buddhism.
"Master Xu, are you talking about..."
As a great master recognized outside the country, Zhang Sanfeng naturally understood the meaning of this sentence of Zen. Therefore, when he heard what Xu Ziyi said, his expression changed.
Light returns to the sun and the moon, darkness returns to the void. In layman's terms, it means transcending the universe and entering another space. It can even be explained by the fairy world.
"The light returns to the sun and the moon, and the darkness returns to the void! Break the shackles of the physical and spiritual bodies and reach another world! This is the Shattered Void. Simply put, it can be understood as the highest realm of martial arts."
Realizing that what he said had greatly shocked Zhang Sanfeng, Xu Ziyi tried his best to explain it in the simplest terms.
“Isn’t this what Taoists call rising into the sky?”
Even after hearing Xu Ziyi's explanation, Zhang Sanfeng couldn't help but feel shocked. Despite his century-old cultivation, he was naturally shocked when he suddenly heard the news that the Taoists had ascended to the sky.
"Yes, in Buddhism there is a golden body with the fruit of correction, and in Taoism there is also a saying that the golden elixir is achieved and the soul is lifted up and ascended. This is also the Shattering of the Void." Xu Ziyi nodded.
"Perhaps Master Zhang has some guess about my origin, but I am actually not from this world!"
Next, Xu Ziyi revealed even more shocking news in person.
"No wonder what Master Xu has learned is obviously from the work of famous masters, but I, the veteran, have exhausted everything I have learned and still can't figure out the origin of Xu Zi's sect!"
After hearing what Xu Ziyi said, Zhang Sanfeng suddenly realized the truth.
Zhang Sanfeng asked again: "I wonder what the realm of Shattered Void is like?"
When Xu Ziyi heard this, he couldn't help but suddenly stood up, walked slowly outside the house, looked up at the sky, with a look of leisurely fascination in his eyes, and said: "That state is not what I can reach now, and the mystery in it is even more difficult for me.
Use words to describe..."
Speaking of this, Xu Ziyi seemed to think of Chuan Ying, who killed Sihan and flew among thousands of troops, jumped into the void on a lonely cliff hanging thousands of feet, and floated away, leaving behind an immortal reputation.
Every master of Shattering the Void can be said to be invincible.
This is true whether it is Xiang Yutian in the game world, Emperor Wu who finally shattered the void in the mausoleum, Ling Donglai, the peerless master of later generations, or Pang Ban and Lang Fanyun who both shattered the void in the battle at Dongting Lake.
After Xu Ziyi paused for a moment, he spoke again: "The only thing that can be told to Master Zhang is that any master who has advanced to the Shattered Void level is an invincible strong man in the world. He is proud of all the heroes in the world, even if he is the enemy of the whole world and has thousands of armies.
Horse, there is still nothing you can do! Maybe it is not as good as the sacred immortals and Buddhas, but it is not much different."
Xu Ziyi turned his eyes and fell on Zhang Sanfeng. He smiled and said: "With my martial arts skills, I can naturally defeat a thousand people and be invincible in the world. But if I am in front of a top-notch master from Shattered Void, I am afraid that I will not even be able to take action."
I don’t even have a chance, the other party can defeat me with just one look.”
If this were said to an ordinary person, Zhang Sanfeng would only listen to it as a joke, but he has seen Xu Ziyi's martial arts, especially above his own. His martial arts level is very high, but if the two of them were to fight to the death, Zhang Sanfeng knew that he would never
No match for this leader Xu.
Therefore, it was really thrilling to hear it at this time. His face changed color again, and he said with a sigh of relief: "Is there really such a master in this world?!"
"Yes!" Xu Ziyi nodded affirmatively, "Although in my time, the masters of Shattered Void have long been regarded as legends by ordinary people in the world, there are indeed recorded examples of Shattered Void among the three sects of Buddhism, Taoism and Demon!"
The peerless swordsman Yan Fei, a generation of heavenly master Sun En..." Zhang Sanfeng was reciting these names silently in his heart. He suddenly asked: "Could it be that the heavenly master mentioned by Master Xu is Sun En of the Five Pecks of Rice Sect in the Eastern Jin Dynasty?"
Xu Ziyi said: "Yes, but this Sun En is not the other Sun En. The two are like flowers blooming in another world. Although their names are the same, their situations are completely different!"
Sun En's name is naturally recorded in Yitian. As a Taoist priest of the Five Pecks of Rice Sect during the Eastern Jin Dynasty, he led an uprising and was also known as the leader of the pirates in the Central Plains.
"That's it!" Zhang Sanfeng nodded.
"My return date is approaching, and before I leave, I would like to invite Master Zhang to go with me."
Looking at the famous Zhang Zhenren in front of him, Xu Ziyi finally revealed his purpose.
As one of the few masters in the Jin Lao world who can be compared with the founder of Shaolin, Bodhidharma, Zhang Zhenren has reached a peak in both his magnanimity and his intelligence.
He failed to take the last step, but was trapped in the world of Yitian.
Just like Jianghu in The Deer and the Cauldron, the abbot of Shaolin, Zen Master Hui Cong, is said to have successfully introduced the practice of Yi Jin Jing, but according to Hong Antong's words, he did not take it seriously at all.
The fundamental reason is that Zen Master Huicong lacks opponents.
In Xu Ziyi's view, Zhang Sanfeng has the talent to shatter the void, and Xu Ziyi highly admires his magnanimity.
On the contrary, compared to the world of the Tang Dynasty, where Ning Daoqi, who was also one of the three great masters, was willing to be a pawn of the Buddhist sect, the differences between the two men were immediately apparent.
Now that Xu Ziyi was lucky enough to come to Yitian, he naturally wanted to invite Master Zhang to accompany him before leaving.
Hearing Xu Ziyi's invitation, Zhang Sanfeng couldn't help but fell silent. As a master of the generation, Zhang Sanfeng naturally aspired to a higher realm of martial arts, but now he is not alone. He has six disciples led by Song Yuanqiao.
Xu Ziyi said: "Master Zhang, I won't hide it from you. If you go with me, I may not be able to guarantee that you can return to this world in the future!"
"Master Xu means that he can take me with him, but he can't guarantee that he will bring me back?" Zhang Sanfeng seemed to understand something and asked.
"Not bad!" Xu Ziyi nodded.
Although he has improved in martial arts now, it is still difficult to control the world where the jade pendant opens the void stone gate, so he cannot help but add in the end.
Zhang Sanfeng is not like his younger sister Cheng Lingsu, or the young couple Dongfang Bubai and Yang Lianting. He still has Song Yuanqiao and others under his knees, and the seven Song Yuanqiao were raised by Zhang Sanfeng himself. Although they are not his biological flesh and blood, they are masters and disciples.
Time is better than the love between father and son.
Therefore, before Xu Ziyi invited him, he still had to tell him about the flaws in the opening of the Void Stone Gate, so as to prevent Zhang Sanfeng from having any regrets when he went to the Tang Dynasty.
