Seeing that this move was successful, Meng Xiuyuan was very happy.
You must know that although his internal strength has surpassed his master Zhang Sanfeng at this time, there is still an insurmountable gap between him and this great martial arts master in a series of aspects such as martial arts understanding, actual combat against enemies, and understanding of moves.
chasm.
At this time, being able to win one and a half moves from his master is already the greatest praise for his martial arts understanding in the past two years.
Hearing Master's initiative to ask questions, Meng Xiuyuan was naturally happy and quickly answered:
"Master, I used two kinds of skills in this move.
The first is a set of sword techniques that I created myself, called "Zhi Ge Sword Technique".
Secondly, I improved the first form of "Purple Sky Sword Qi", "Qingye Wuchen", and used it at the same time."
Zhang Sanfeng was shocked when he heard this. Although he had heard that Meng Xiuyuan had the ability to "enlighten" frequently, he never expected that the effect would be so obvious. He could create his own martial arts in a short time.
And when he started just now, he just felt that although Meng Xiuyuan's move was not gorgeous, all the subtleties were contained in it. It was obviously a return to the original and high-quality Kung Fu.
Zhang Sanfeng, who had studied martial arts all his life, naturally became interested at this time:
"Xiu Yuan, I didn't expect that you have made such great progress in martial arts in just two years since you came down from the mountain.
Please tell me carefully, what kind of skills are they?
Let’s talk about the “Zhi Ge Sword Technique” first. From the name, it doesn’t sound like it’s a martial art with the purpose of hurting people?”
Meng Xiuyuan nodded when he heard this and explained humbly:
"You are right, Master.
I created this swordsmanship, which was actually inspired by our Wudang's "Thirteen Swords of Shenmen". It was also conceived based on the principle of defeating the enemy without hurting others.
But you also know that although I have made some progress in changing my moves than before, I still like to use force to overwhelm others.
Therefore, unlike "The Thirteen Swords of Shenmen", my kung fu does not focus on moves and adapting to the situation. The moves are dexterous and the essence is all about exerting force.
It's troublesome for me to talk like this. If you give me a hand again, you will definitely understand everything."
"good."
Zhang Sanfeng thought that this was indeed the case, so he broke another branch and exchanged another move with Meng Xiuyuan.
This time Meng Xiuyuan only used the technique of "Zhi Ge Sword Technique" itself, so not only did the branch in Zhang Sanfeng's hand not break, but he could clearly feel the mystery of Meng Xiuyuan's move.
After closing his eyes and meditating for a moment, Zhang Sanfeng opened his mouth again with a happy smile on his face:
"What a coincidence!
In a sword, the strength is mixed. It may be pushing or pulling, it may be hard or soft, and it is completely indistinguishable.
It is based on this sect of Kung Fu, and there are obvious shadows of Kongtong School's "Seven Injury Fist".
As long as you practice your inner strength sufficiently, the opponent will be irresistible once this sword is released."
Meng Xiuyuan was happy when he heard this. Although he was proud in his heart, he still said "no, no, no".
"Also, you said you improved the first move of "Purple Sky Sword Qi". How?"
To be honest, compared to Meng Xiuyuan creating a new kung fu, Zhang Sanfeng was actually more curious about how he improved "Purple Sky Sword Qi".
After all, this skill took Zhang Sanfeng a lot of hard work and time to create. It took more than half a year just to polish and streamline it in the later stage.
Zhang Sanfeng believed that he had applied most of what he had learned throughout his life to this swordsmanship.
Although I dare not say that it is perfect, at least with his current martial arts practice, he cannot make any improvements. Every detail can be said to be more if you add a little, and less if you lack it, at least in the existing one.
The most reasonable state has been reached under the theoretical system.
So Zhang Zhenren wanted to see what wonderful ideas this young apprentice had.
Meng Xiuyuan heard the sound and knew what Zhang Sanfeng meant. He quickly touched his head and explained:
"Master, don't blame me. It's said to be an improvement. In fact, it's just that I chose a more suitable way to use it.
This style of "Qingye Wuchen" is the basis of the entire sword technique and is the simplest. It just draws the true energy to the sword without emitting it, so as to strengthen the long sword itself.
So I thought, since the technique is simple, I might as well make it perfect.
The twelve luck lines in your original version come one by one. Although they are neat and orderly, they are weak in power and the moves are not fast enough.
I simply activated these twelve luck lines at the same time. Although the difficulty is a bit higher, the power is greatly enhanced."
When Meng Xiuyuan spoke, he didn't pay much attention to it. After all, this change was just something he came up with during his daily martial arts training, and even he didn't pay much attention to it.
Unexpectedly, when Zhang Sanfeng heard Meng Xiuyuan's explanation, not only was he no longer as satisfied and appreciative as before, but he suddenly frowned, his face looked very ugly, and he immediately shouted angrily:
"Nonsense! How can there be any reason for you to act so recklessly?!"
While speaking, he did not bother to see Meng Xiuyuan's reaction, and quickly pulled Meng Xiuyuan's wrist, while using his true energy to explore his body, he continued to reprimand:
"When I created this technique, the reason why I designed these twelve luck lines was to use the twelve meridians of the human body to allow the true energy to flow through it in sequence and strengthen it.
This move does not have much practical value. It mainly allows you to feel the core principles of this set of swordsmanship for introductory learning.
After all, the twelve meridians correspond to the human internal organs and the three burners. If the true energy vibrates in them too much, it will damage the fundamentals of the body.
If you move your true energy through twelve lines at the same time, it will be very powerful, but once you execute one move, it will put even greater pressure on your body.
It may not be obvious once or twice, but over time, the foundation of the entire body will be destroyed.
Even if you have unparalleled skills, you are still a human body after all. The internal organs and the triple burner are the most fragile and complex places in the human body. How can they tolerate such destruction by you?!"
Although Zhang Sanfeng's words were full of scolding, there was worry on his face.
Obviously the reason why he was so anxious was that he was afraid that Meng Xiuyuan would hurt his body by practicing indiscriminately.
Meng Xiuyuan suddenly received such a punishment. Although he felt a little helpless, he also knew that it was good, so he could only smile shamelessly and reminded in a low voice:
"Master, please don't worry, first take a look at the condition of my internal organs.
Since I dare to change like this, it must be reasonable. How dare I make fun of my own body..."
When Zhang Sanfeng heard this, his heart moved and he felt slightly relieved.
He thought that although this young disciple often liked to joke sometimes and was neither old nor young, he never made any mistakes when it came to serious matters.
Since Meng Xiuyuan would say such words, he must be confident. He couldn't help but hold his breath and concentrate on exploring the situation inside Meng Xiuyuan's body more carefully.
After a long while, Master Zhang's expression gradually changed, from the original nervousness and anger to surprise and confusion. He was afraid that he had misjudged it, so he patiently explored Meng Xiuyuan's body twice before slowly withdrawing.
Handed.
Immediately, he looked up and down at Meng Xiuyuan with great confusion, and couldn't help but ask:
"Xiuyuan, what kind of exotic flowers, fruits, and treasures have you eaten in the past two years?
Why have your Dantian meridians and internal organs changed so much compared to two years ago?
Although the saying that the I Ching cleanses the marrow and reborn is often mentioned in martial arts, its symbolic meaning is mostly used.
In two years, a person's inner self has undergone such earth-shaking changes, which is obviously not something that ordinary martial arts practitioners can achieve.
You told me before that the green valley in the Kunlun Mountains where you found the "Nine Yang Magic" is quite magical, but what adventures did you have in it?"
As Zhang Sanfeng spoke, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. In just two years since he came down the mountain, this young disciple has undergone so many miraculous changes, which is really unheard of.
When Meng Xiuyuan heard this, he naturally would not hide it from his master. He quickly took out another pamphlet from his arms and handed it to Master Zhang respectfully.
This booklet was created in his spare time at Hongmei Villa. It records in detail all the contents of the latest version of "Physical Fitness" that he has improved so far.
"Master, the changes in my body are not caused by external factors, but are the results of my long-term training.
On my way to the Western Regions to search for scriptures, I came across the "Bone Strengthening Chapter of the Book of Changes" in the Nine Yin Manual. After a sudden enlightenment, I created a Kung Fu that uses true energy to strengthen the body.
In the past two years, most of the energy I have refined has been spent on this skill.
If there are no changes in the internal organs and Dantian meridians, then my true energy will be used at a great loss."
"Oh?" Zhang Sanfeng heard this very strangely. He was not unfamiliar with the Kung Fu of using Qi to strengthen the body in a short time. But when it came to the Kung Fu of permanently losing Qi just to temper the body, he didn't even hear it.
heard about it.
So he opened the secret book handed over by Meng Xiuyuan in person and browsed through it briefly.
I saw that there were drawings on a large area on the paper, all of which were human body movement figures and exercise routes. There were a few lines of text under each picture as explanations.
Although Meng Xiuyuan's painting skills are not good, and the human body movements are ugly, it is obvious that the production of this booklet is still very careful. Master Zhang can understand the content expressed in it at a glance.
Looking closely at the principles of his martial arts, Zhang Sanfeng felt that the contents were complex and profound, and some of them had shadows of the Wudang martial arts he created, but the rest were still concepts that even he was not familiar with.
After a long time, Zhang Sanfeng slowly closed the booklet in his hand, his eyes burning, and he gave his evaluation very seriously:
"Your "Physical Fitness Technique" is really the first of its kind in martial arts, and it is different from all the martial arts that I have come across in my life.
Although according to what you said, it consumes too much infuriating energy, you have to be a gifted person like yourself to use it to its full potential.
Now it seems that it still needs to be improved and its effectiveness improved before it can be spread among ordinary people.
But in terms of its contribution to martial arts alone, it is no less than the "Nine Yang Divine Art" you brought back.
At least for me, it’s very inspiring.”
As he spoke, he was actually very pleased.
Different from the previous "Zhi Ge Sword Technique", this "Physical Strength Technique" has a high status in Zhang Sanfeng's heart, so high that he feels that Meng Xiuyuan has the potential to become a martial arts master in the future, even surpassing his potential.
Because as he just said, this "Physical Fitness Technique" is groundbreaking in both theory and effectiveness.
As a "scientific research talent" who has also devoted his life to martial arts innovation, Zhang Sanfeng naturally regards him as a treasure.
On the contrary, Meng Xiuyuan himself felt a little unbearable when he heard Master Zhang Zhenren's high praise. He quickly shook his head and said that Master's praise was too much.
Because the reason why he was able to create this Kung Fu mainly relied on the "Easing the Muscles and Strengthening the Bones", Wudang martial arts, and the accumulation of medical knowledge in previous lives. What he really did was just his own help in the "sudden enlightenment" state.
Below, these contents are neatly and appropriately combined.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Sanfeng suddenly continued:
"Xiuyuan, have you ever thought about recruiting apprentices to teach your skills?"
Meng Xiuyuan was stunned when he heard the sound. He didn't expect that the master would mention this matter. He was completely unprepared and had no choice but to say it bluntly:
"No, no, I'm only eighteen or nineteen years old, and I haven't even learned my own kung fu yet. How can I be qualified to teach my apprentices..."
Zhang Sanfeng smiled and shook his head:
"You, you, how come you went down the mountain and started saying these things against your will to Master?
If you haven't mastered Kung Fu yet, then what should your fellow seniors and the well-known masters in the world do?
You must know that for a sect's martial arts, it can be said that everyone adds fuel to the flames, and the kung fu taught by just one founder of the sect is by no means enough.
Only the heroes of the past generations in the sect need to contribute their strength to make the sect rich in heritage.
Why, don’t you want these unique arts you created to be passed down in our sect?”
When Meng Xiuyuan heard this, he quickly shook his head and explained:
"No, Master, that's not what I meant.
When I have time, I will also write you a secret book of "Zhi Ge Sword Technique".
In the future, if you see who is suitable, you can just teach him your skills."
The master still shook his head and refused to Meng Xiuyuan:
"There is no way for a master to take the martial arts skills of his disciples and teach them everywhere.
It would be fine if it were a ready-made secret book that you found, but of course it is better for you to pass on the martial arts that you created yourself.
Your second senior brother improved his sect's "Tiger Claw Hand" into "Tiger Claw Juehu Hand", and I also asked them to teach it to each other.
The martial arts you created are profound, wonderful, and unique, and you will definitely become famous in the world in the future.
I know that you have a deep relationship with your senior brothers, so if you want to teach it to them, I will not object.
But I think you should also have your own disciples to pass on, so that in the future someone in the Wudang Sect will recognize you as the ancestor of the line, so that your martial arts and reputation will be passed down for a long time and will last forever."
Meng Xiuyuan heard this, thought for a moment, and then nodded silently.
He knew that the reason why Zhang Sanfeng said these words on purpose was really for his own good.
As the saying goes, "A deep love means a long-term plan." The reason why Zhang Sanfeng advised Meng Xiuyuan to accept a disciple was because he had already considered his future affairs.
As a member of this ancient martial arts world, Zhang Sanfeng knew that no matter how long he lived, there would be a day when his soul would return to Jiuquan.
Therefore, in addition to cultivating himself internally, his highest lifelong pursuit in external pursuits is actually to pass on his unique skills and sect for a long time, so that they can be carried forward and famous throughout the ages.
The same thing applies to Meng Xiuyuan.
Zhang Sanfeng has also planned things for Meng Xiuyuan a hundred years from now. He hopes that he can pass on the unique skills and fame he created, so that he can have a lineage unique to Meng Xiuyuan in the Wudang Sect and become one that has been praised by his disciples for generations.
Patriarch.
Although Meng Xiuyuan didn't care much about this aspect, he would not refuse just to respond to his master's good intentions.
So he finally told Master Zhang that when he found a suitable disciple, he would definitely accept him as a disciple and teach him his skills.
