If the water town in the south of the Yangtze River is a watercolor painting with green willows, red flowers, and singing and dancing birds, then Turpan is a sketch drawn with thick lines.
In Turpan, the mountains are brown, the snow is white, the wilderness is gray, the grassland is green, Tianchi is green, Flame Mountain is as red as clouds, and Grape Valley is green.
Like jade.
It does not need to be colored. A few simple and bright strokes can outline the general outline and highlight the theme. But accidentally, the colored ink splashed on it was just right, like a divine touch.
, let this painting come alive, live like a dragon.
Dugu Xiaotian walked for another six or seven days and arrived at the foot of the Snow Mountain. He climbed over the mountains and ridges and entered Turpan two or three days later.
When he arrived in Turpan, he spent money and boarded a large convoy going to Ming Dynasty for business, and headed for Sichuan.
Along the way, Dugu Xiaotian not only appreciated the beautiful scenery and customs of Turpan, but also paid attention to the merchants coming and going.
A group of Turpan knights galloping past caught Xiaotian's attention. These knights were all highly skilled in martial arts, and they were galloping all the way to the Sichuan border.
Dugu Xiaotian bought a fast horse and followed the Turpan knight.
The Turpan knights arrived at Yumen Pass, changed into Han Chinese clothes, and continued on their way. Dugu Xiaotian went to the roof of their hotel in the evening to eavesdrop, and only faintly heard a few words such as "Wudang... attack the mountain...".
"These Tubo warriors are going to be detrimental to the Wudang sect!" Dugu Xiaotian was shocked, "I must rush to Wudang as soon as possible to report the news so that Wudang can take precautions."
At dawn the next day, Dugu Xiaotian went to the bank to exchange five thousand taels of silver. He bought three fine horses, prepared dry food and water, and whipped the horses to rush towards Hubei.
Dugu Xiaotian rushed for three days and three nights to reach Hubei.
Entering Hubei, in order to avoid enemy interception, Xiaotian abandoned his horse, performed Qinggong on the path, and hurried towards Wudang Mountain.
One day later, Xiaotian came to the foot of Wudang Mountain and found that more than 500 people from outside the Fanbang Great Wall had gathered at the foot of the mountain, including many martial arts masters.
He did not dare to alarm the enemies, so he used Qinggong and climbed in from the cliff behind Wudang Mountain.
Just as Dugu Xiaotian entered a courtyard in Wudang, three bells rang in the distance.
"The enemy is going to attack the mountain in a big way?" Dugu Xiaotian was shocked! "I am now a wanted criminal of the imperial court, so I cannot let my identity be exposed."
Dugu Xiaotian waited for a moment. On the path, a young Wudang disciple was passing by the other courtyard and running towards the backyard. Xiaotian stepped forward and sealed his acupuncture points and placed him in the woodshed of the other courtyard.
Xiaotian put on the Taoist robe of the Wudang disciple, put on a hairpin, left the other courtyard, and ran towards the backyard with the young disciples.
In the time it took for half a stick of incense to be burned, more than eighty young Wudang disciples had gathered in the backyard. A middle-aged Taoist priest in the courtyard, with a straight nose and a broad mouth, said loudly: "The Wudang sect is in great trouble today.
Qianli, in the name of the leader, I am sending you and other Zhenwu disciples the Zhenwu Seven-Section Formation. When you take action later, remember to set up a formation of seven people and work together to repel the enemy!"
When Sanfeng Zhenren, the founder of Wudang, was in his seventies, one day he saw the two generals Turtle and Snake in front of the statue of Zhenwu. He thought of the Snake Mountain and Turtle Mountain where the Yangtze River and the Han River met. He thought that the long snake was agile and the turtle was solemn. The Zhenwu Emperor was around.
A turtle and a snake are two of the most spiritual and important physical properties of Tai Chi.
At that moment, he rushed to Hanyang overnight and stared at the Snake Mountain and Guishan Mountain. From the winding momentum of Snake Mountain and the steady shape of Guishan Villa, he created a set of exquisite martial arts.
It's just that the two mountains of Turtle and Snake are majestic, and the martial arts evolved from the mountains are so vast and comprehensive that they cannot be performed by one person at the same time.
Sanfeng Zhenren stood quietly on the bank of the river and did not drink or eat for three days and nights. He thought hard but could not figure out this problem.
On the morning of the fourth day, the rising sun rose in the east and illuminated thousands of golden snakes on the river, flickering.
He suddenly realized the truth, laughed out loud, returned to Wudang Mountain, called his seven direct disciples at the time, and each taught him a set of martial arts.
Because this formation was created by the second general Gui She under Emperor Zhenwu, it was named "Zhenwu Seven Sections Formation".
The seven sets of martial arts in this formation are performed separately, and each has its own subtleties, but if two people work together, the brothers will complement each other, both offensively and defensively, and the power will be greatly increased.
If three people use it together, it will be twice as powerful as two people using it together. Four people are equivalent to eight masters, five people are equivalent to sixteen masters, six people are equivalent to thirty-two masters, and seven people are equal to all.
Shi, just like sixty-four world-class masters taking action at the same time.
Yun Qianli first explained the seven sets of exercises of Zhenwu Seven Sections Formation twice, and then practiced the seven different sets of exercises of Zhenwu Seven Sections with several other Taoist priests.
The young disciples of Wudang compared their daily martial arts practice, chose the best among the seven sets of exercises, and finally formed teams of each Zhenwu Seven Formations.
Dugu Xiaotian is familiar with Tai Chi and has understood the true meaning of various martial arts. In just half an hour, he understood the mystery of Zhenwu's seven interception formations. He and the young Wudang disciples exchanged a stick of incense, and he was already proficient in it.
Use seven different sets of Zhenwu Seven-section Formation.
"Hi!", "Ha"! Several loud shouts came faintly from the front yard and fell into Dugu Xiaotian's ears.
"The person who made these loud shouts obviously has great internal strength. It seems that the masters of both sides have already fought. I have to go over and help as soon as possible." Dugu Xiaotian thought to himself.
Thinking of this, Dugu Xiaotian didn't waste any more time. He took advantage of everyone's rest and withdrew from the crowd.
Xiaotian walked out of the backyard, used Qinggong, and ran towards the main hall where the shouts came from.
Dugu Xiaotian ran forward and saw two groups of people facing each other on the left and right in an open space more than thirty feet long and wide outside the main hall.
There are more than 20 people on the left, all dressed in different clothes. The leader is a Tibetan lama with a protruding forehead and a face full of wrinkles.
The thirty or so people on the right are none other than the people of Wudang. The leader is a middle-aged Taoist priest with a fairy-like Taoist bone and a three-willow long beard.
Dugu Xiaotian walked gently to the back of the group on the right.
Everyone was paying attention to the martial arts competition in the field. They only knew that he was a young Wudang disciple who came to deliver a message, so they didn't pay attention.
It turns out that Song Qingfeng received a report from the mountain and knew that the Wudang catastrophe had come today.
He first ordered Yun Qianli and others to teach Wudang's third-generation disciples the Zhenwu Seven-Section Formation, hoping that Wudang would have fewer casualties when they started.
Then Song Qingfeng straightened his clothes and went to the foot of the mountain to greet him in person.
The masters who came to Wudang to compete in martial arts this time were masters from three countries, including Ujitso, the Great Sun Dharma King of Wusizang, Songzanlu, the Great Snow Wheel King of Turpan, and Kadi, the first-generation master of Tianzhu.
Song Qingfeng showed great respect to everyone and brought the masters from the Three Kingdoms to the Zhenwu Hall.
The two parties chatted for a while in the main hall, and Songzanlu, the Great Snow Wheel King of Turpan, made a request to "have admired Wudang martial arts for a long time and compete in martial arts."
Song Qingfeng knew he had no choice but to invite a group of Wudang masters to compete with the visiting masters in front of the palace.
When Xiaotian arrived, the two sides had already competed three times.
On the Wudang side, Song Qingfeng invited three masters from the sect to compete. Wusizang, Turpan, and Tianzhu each sent a master to compete. Wudang lost two games and won one.
"Today is really an eye-opener. In this fourth game, I will use my flaming sword to learn Wudang's secret skills!" The Great Snow Wheel King Songzanlu burst out with a long laugh and stood out from the crowd.
