Meng Xiuyuan had a good meal at his master Zhang Zhenren's place.
I was in a hurry along the way, and most of the time I had to eat dry food for two people. This continued for many days, and Meng Xiuyuan was really hungry.
Now that he was eating the food from Wudang Mountain again after two years, Meng Xiuyuan felt that his appetite was greatly increased.
During this period, Zhang Sanfeng didn't say anything. He only tried to persuade him to eat more slowly, but he kept picking up vegetables for him.
After a long while, after finishing all the food in the six food boxes, Meng Xiuyuan put down his bowl and patted his belly with satisfaction.
Then when he saw the breeze and the bright moon taking away the cups, plates and food boxes, Meng Xiuyuan immediately thought of taking out the "Nine Yang Magic" and handing it to his master, and telling him what he had seen and heard along the way.
Unexpectedly, before he could take action, he was interrupted by Zhang Sanfeng in advance.
It turned out that Master felt sorry for him because he had worked hard all the way and was too tired.
Taking a quick look, one could see that although he was in good spirits at this time, it was only due to his profound skills and temporary excitement. In fact, a lot of fatigue had already accumulated in his body.
So I just thought that if I had anything to do, I could talk about it tomorrow, but the most important thing was to go back to my room and have a good night's rest.
Hearing this, Meng Xiuyuan naturally would not reject Master's kindness. He stood up and bowed again, then turned to say goodbye to Master.
…
Sure enough, as the master said, Meng Xiuyuan returned to his room, lay on the bed and fell asleep in an instant.
After more than two years, his room has been cleaned and taken care of, and the bedding is washed and dried regularly, just as it was when he left.
Coupled with the eagerness to return home these past few decades, traveling day and night with little rest, I was indeed extremely exhausted.
So Meng Xiuyuan did sleep very deeply and comfortably this time.
It wasn't until three o'clock in the morning the next day that Meng Xiuyuan woke up from his sleep.
After he finished washing and bathing, he found his master with a large bag of secret books in his arms. Just when he was about to show off, he didn't expect that there was an extra person sitting in the room.
"Benefactor!"
It was Zhou Zhiruo who was sitting on a small stool not far from the door. When he saw Meng Xiuyuan enter the door, he immediately threw himself to the ground and kowtowed to Meng Xiuyuan.
Meng Xiuyuan was a little surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect that it was just a one-time encounter at that time, and Meng Xiuyuan was still masked. When they suddenly met again, a child as young as her could actually recognize her.
"You actually recognize me?"
"Well, I remember my benefactor's eyes." Little Zhou Zhiruo nodded immediately and said sincerely to Meng Xiuyuan.
These words sounded familiar, and Meng Xiuyuan couldn't help but think of the little princess who also said the same thing before leaving.
I couldn't help but secretly sigh in my heart, they are indeed elven and smart women, they have been so sharp since they were young.
At this time, Zhang Sanfeng, who was sitting at the desk, asked Meng Xiuyuan:
"A few months ago, a businessman surnamed Dong came to our Wudang Mountain. He said that he was quite familiar with you and your senior brother, and at your request, he sent this girl to the mountain.
I heard that what he said was true and did not sound like a lie, so I left this little girl Zhou behind.
Now it seems like this is really the case?"
When Meng Xiuyuan heard this, he knew that if he wanted to explain the matter clearly, he had to start from when he met Yang Yunsu Yang, so he was not afraid of spending more words:
"Master, actually what happened is this. That day I was walking at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, and suddenly I heard the sound of killing and wailing coming from a distance..."
Immediately, Meng Xiuyuan planned how to kill Yuan soldiers, rescue Yang Yunsu, and rescue the villagers by kidnapping Princess Zhao Min. Later, he met Zhou Zhiruo's family on the bank of the Han River, fearing that the Yuan army would implicate them and let them flee.
Wait for a series of things to be explained to Master.
Although Meng Xiuyuan did not go into too much detail about such a long story, he still told it for a long time.
Zhang Sanfeng listened very carefully. During this period, he heard that Meng Xiuyuan was besieged by several masters and was attacked by sharpshooters. He couldn't help but frown slightly, feeling a little worried for Meng Xiuyuan.
Fortunately, later, when Meng Xiuyuan said that he had escaped from his own life and ran into the dense forest of Zhongnan Mountain with two girls, one big and one one small, his worries turned into joy, and his brows gradually relaxed.
Until the end, after Meng Xiuyuan finished talking about how he saved Zhou Zhiruo's family by the river and how he warned Princess Zhao Min not to do evil, master Zhang Zhenren seemed very happy and couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction:
"Xiuyuan, you have done a very good job in this matter.
My purpose in learning martial arts is to eradicate violence, punish evil and promote good. It is impossible for me to ignore the matters in front of me just because the Yuan Dynasty was so powerful that it might endanger ourselves.
In addition, I am particularly happy to hear that you did not get carried away by the murderous intention and stayed true to your true intentions.
very good!"
After Zhang Sanfeng heard Meng Xiuyuan's story, he felt proud to have such a young disciple. He even said "very good" twice, and he felt more accomplished than if he had created any special skills or magic skills himself.
And with his experience and knowledge, of course he could see the hidden truth behind the matter at a glance:
"I think that when shopkeeper Dong sent Miss Zhou and her family up the mountain, he must have vaguely guessed something and felt that this matter was of great importance.
But what he did was right. It is indeed safest for Miss Zhou and her family to stay with us in Wudang.
It doesn’t matter if we have two more people doing chores on the mountain.”
Zhang Sanfeng's opening obviously meant that he formally accepted Zhou Zhiruo's family.
Although Zhou Zhiruo was young, he was smart. Hearing this, he quickly knelt down and kowtowed to Zhang Sanfeng. It was only at this time that she realized that her family had been involved in such big things as "massacre of the village" and "kidnapping of the princess".
, I was extremely panicked.
However, Zhang Sanfeng didn't say anything more to her. He just comforted her and let her go out first.
When the door was closed again, Zhang Sanfeng suddenly beamed with joy, waved his hand, led Meng Xiuyuan to him, and asked with interest:
"Xiuyuan, do you know what family and sect that Miss Yang comes from, and who are the elders in her family?"
Meng Xiuyuan felt happy when he heard this, knowing that Master, as an elder, was obviously worried about the marriage and love affairs of his younger generation.
Sure enough, no parent can avoid this kind of thing, even an old god like Zhang Sanfeng.
However, there was nothing to be ashamed of in the first place, so Meng Xiuyuan simply spoke frankly and told his master everything he knew.
Zhang Sanfeng was a little surprised when he heard this. It was obvious that Meng Xiuyuan's words were beyond his expectation. But then, he still said happily:
"I didn't expect that this girl Yang is actually a descendant of the hero Yang Guo. It's just a coincidence.
I had a chance encounter with Yang Daxia back then, and it was he who gave me three tips that allowed me to defeat Yin Kexi who stole the "Nine Yang Divine Art".
To this day, when I recall the scene at that time, I can't help but admire his martial arts and demeanor.
Since this Miss Yang is his descendant, she is also the queen of a very famous family.
Listening to what you just said, she is also very good in both martial arts and character..."
Meng Xiuyuan was shocked when he heard this. If he continued talking, Master might have to talk about giving gifts to propose marriage. He quickly interrupted with a smile:
"Master, when it comes to "Nine Yang Magic", I have something to say.
Look quickly, what is this?"
With that said, Meng Xiuyuan took out a cloth bag from his arms, quickly opened it and respectfully presented the four scriptures to Master Zhang.
There was not much etiquette between Zhang Sanfeng and Meng Xiuyuan. When Meng Xiuyuan interrupted him, he just thought that the child was still young and was a little shy when talking about men and women, so he smiled and stopped talking.
However, Zhang Sanfeng's expression changed when he saw the four scriptures handed over by Meng Xiuyuan.
It's not that he cares too much about the "Nine Yang Divine Art", it's just that when he looked at these four scriptures, many long-dusted memories emerged.
Opening the first volume of scriptures, one could see the crooked Sanskrit characters and many familiar verses in Chinese characters between each line. Zhang Sanfeng was silent for a moment and then said:
"Yes, this should be the original version of "Nine Yang Magic" that was originally hidden in the Shaolin Sutra Pavilion. Although I have not seen the content with my own eyes, it has been passed down a lot by Master Jueyuan.
I just don’t know why these four lost scriptures are still so well preserved after nearly ninety years.
Xiuyuan, where did you find this "Nine Yang Divine Art"?"
Meng Xiuyuan heard his master ask this question and told him in detail what happened in the green valley.
Zhang Sanfeng is over a hundred years old, but he has never heard of such a strange thing. Especially when he heard that the "Nine Yang Magic" was actually hidden in the white ape's body, his eyes instantly brightened:
"It turns out that what the head of Kunlun, He Zudao, said back then, actually meant this.
It’s not ‘the sutra is in the oil’, it’s ‘the sutra is in the monkey’.
I didn’t expect it, I really didn’t expect it…”
As he spoke, Zhang Sanfeng seemed very emotional.
After all, this book "Nine Yang Magic" and the phrase "the sutra is in the oil" vaguely changed his life's destiny.
At that time, if Kunlun He Zudao had not come to Shaolin Temple for Yin Kexi's last words, Master Jue Yuan and he would not have been expelled from Shaolin. He might still be a young monk in the Shaolin sect until his death.
If that were the case, naturally there would be no Wudang Sect now, no Zhang Sanfeng now, and no many grudges and grudges over the past hundred years.
However, Zhang Sanfeng has always been open-minded, and his state of mind has long been cultivated to a state where it is not limited to things or lingering in the heart, so this kind of emotion goes as quickly as it comes.
Turning his head, he heard the voice and asked Meng Xiuyuan if he had read the original version of "Nine Suns Divine Art". What was his experience and what did he not understand?
This has been a common teaching method for masters and apprentices for more than ten years. Meng Xiuyuan first studied and practiced the exercises by himself, summarizing his experiences and things he didn't understand, and then Zhang Sanfeng corrected and answered them one by one.
Although Zhang Sanfeng hasn't read "Nine Suns Magic" yet, he still wants to hear Meng Xiuyuan's thoughts first, and then explain it to him after he has studied it thoroughly.
Unexpectedly, this time was different from before. Meng Xiuyuan spoke many profound martial arts principles when he opened his mouth. Many of them surprised Zhang Sanfeng and felt that they were worth pondering.
When Zhang Sanfeng heard this, he understood in his heart that it was not just the "Nine Yang Divine Art" itself that was magical, but also that the disciple Meng Xiuyuan must have made huge leaps in his understanding of martial arts in the two years since he came down the mountain.
"Xiuyuan, it seems that you have had a lot of opportunities in the past few years since you came down the mountain. Have you had an epiphany in martial arts?" Zhang Sanfeng asked.
"Well, I did have an epiphany, and I have frequent epiphanies..." Meng Xiuyuan replied to the master with a smile.
Seeing that Zhang Sanfeng was a little puzzled when he heard this, Meng Xiuyuan told his master everything about how he could enter a state of enlightenment by killing evil people.
In fact, if other time travelers were concerned about this matter, they would definitely regard it as a secret and would not easily tell others about it.
But for Meng Xiuyuan, his master Zhang Sanfeng and his parents were people he could absolutely trust. So even if it was this kind of thing, Meng Xiuyuan didn't want to hide it from him.
When Master Zhang heard what Meng Xiuyuan said, he was very surprised. He said that he had never heard of such a strange thing even if he was over a hundred years old. However, he did not dwell too much on this unexplainable phenomenon.
After all, he had the "Ten Times Internal Power Talent" first, so he was used to the various miracles in this young disciple.
On the contrary, at this time, he was very curious about Meng Xiuyuan's martial arts realm, and wanted to know how far Meng Xiuyuan had improved his kung fu in the past two years with the help of this "epiphany" state.
"Xiuyuan, let's go to the yard to have a fight?"
Zhang Sanfeng was obviously in great interest and actually stood up on his own initiative and offered to test Meng Xiuyuan.
"Yes, Master." When Meng Xiuyuan heard this, he naturally would not be disappointed, and he really wanted Master to help him verify whether what he had learned and understood in the past two years was reasonable.
…
A moment later, in the small courtyard outside Zhang Sanfeng's door, Meng Xiuyuan and his master each broke a branch and held it in their hands.
"Master, be careful!" Meng Xiuyuan was naturally not so arrogant as to wait for his master to strike at him first. With a light shout, he immediately rushed out with all his strength and circled directly to the side and rear of Zhang Sanfeng.
"What a quick qinggong. Did you improve "Tiyunzong" yourself?"
As soon as they met, Zhang Sanfeng felt his eyes light up, and he was very surprised by the speed shown by Meng Xiuyuan. But after all, he was a great master of martial arts who studied heaven and man. In a moment, he saw through Meng Xiuyuan's background:
"Are you applying the energy-propelling method of "Purple Sky Sword Qi" to "Tiyun Zong"?
Good, good idea, it can be called a wonderful idea.”
Zhang Sanfeng lamented that Meng Xiuyuan's idea was very imaginative and the technical integration was perfect.
Meng Xiuyuan felt happy when he heard his master's praise, but he didn't stop moving his hand. He pointed his finger in the air towards Zhang Sanfeng's large acupuncture point on his chest, and Gang Qi shot out.
Seeing this, Zhang Sanfeng just waved his sleeves and dispelled this extremely tyrannical finger energy, but he still kept praising him:
"The movements are quick and the finger strength is solid. Although I don't know where Xiu Yuan found this "Yiyang Finger", it is obvious that it has been practiced proficiently, and the internal strength has also improved quite a lot.
Well, you have been down the mountain for more than two years, and it seems that you have never failed to improve your internal strength."
Meng Xiuyuan did not want Zhang Sanfeng to fight to the death or to fight to the death, so when he struck, he focused on showing off his martial arts. When he struck again, he deliberately shouted:
"Master, take this sword from me."
After saying that, he hit Zhang Sanfeng with a branch.
"Okay." Upon hearing this, Master Zhang Zhenren understood what he meant, so he deliberately did not dodge and cut off Meng Xiuyuan with the branch in his hand.
Unexpectedly, under the impact of the two, the branch in Zhang Sanfeng's hand suddenly broke with a "snap" and broke into two pieces, while the branch in Meng Xiuyuan's hand was safe and sound.
"Oh? What kind of trick is this?!" Zhang Sanfeng felt surprised and puzzled for the first time since he started doing it.
You must know that in this move just now, he not only used the "Purple Sky Sword Qi" to attach the true energy to the branches, but also used the technique of transforming energy.
As a result, after combining the two, he was still cut off by Meng Xiuyuan with one blow.
