Taoist Chongxu did not answer Ye Qiu directly, but asked: "Master Ye, do you know the real purpose of that group of masked men who stole the Scripture Pavilion?"
Ye Qiu said: "They want martial arts secrets."
Taoist Chongxu gave Ye Qiu a thumbs up: "Master Ye is really smart, he guessed it right away."
Ye Qiu was speechless.
Who wouldn't be able to guess such a simple question?
What he despised the most was that Taoist Chongxu actually gave him a thumbs up and praised him.
So hypocritical.
"Senior, what exactly do you want to say?" Ye Qiu asked.
Taoist Chongxu smiled slightly: "Master Ye Clan, since you have guessed the purpose of that group of people, then guess again, what kind of martial arts secret book is it that makes them willing to empty out the entire Sutra Pavilion?"
Ye Qiu pondered for a moment: "Could it be the martial arts left behind by Master Zhang?"
"That's right." Taoist Chongxu said, "That group of people came just for the martial arts of the founder."
"As we all know, the founder of Wudang, Zhang Zhenren, is a martial arts master."
"He created his own Chunyang Wuji Kung Fu, Tiyun Zong, Wudang Zhenwu Swordsmanship and many other peerless magical skills."
"However, the founder's most powerful martial arts is undoubtedly his own thirteen Tai Chi styles."
Thirteen Tai Chi postures?
Ye Qiu's heart was shocked.
From ancient times to the present, when it comes to Wudang Kung Fu, the one that cannot be avoided is Tai Chi.
Whether it is ancient storybooks or modern film and television novels, as long as Wudang appears, Tai Chi will appear.
Therefore, there is a saying in the world of martial arts that goes, “Without Tai Chi, there is no Wudang.”
It can be seen how great the influence of Tai Chi is.
Taoist Chongxu said: "The Thirteen Tai Chi styles are internal martial arts."
"This set of boxing techniques contains the five internal organs and eight meridians, and the five steps and eight methods on the outside. It is integrated with Taoist health-preserving elixirs, and has a total of thirteen movements, so it is called the Thirteen Postures of Tai Chi."
"Before he created this boxing technique, Zhang Zhenren visited dozens of sects in the world and read tens of thousands of martial arts secret books."
"In the end, Zhang Zhenren learned from the strengths of hundreds of martial arts schools and created the Thirteen Tai Chi Styles."
"This set of boxing techniques is hard yet soft, soft yet hard, and hard and soft at the same time."
"Cultivation to the highest level can achieve the balance of yin and yang and the unity of heaven and man."
"It is no exaggeration to say that the Thirteen Movements of Tai Chi are the treasure of martial arts and the essence of Tai Chi."
"Since the founding of the sect, the Thirteen Tai Chi postures have been the treasure of Wudang."
When Ye Qiu heard this, he roughly understood.
"Senior, so the real purpose of that group of masked men who stole the Sutra Pavilion was for the Thirteen Postures of Tai Chi?"
Taoist Chongxu nodded: "Yes."
Ye Qiu asked again: "That group of people stole the Thirteen Tai Chi Styles?"
Taoist Chongxu shook his head: "No."
Ye Qiu's eyes lit up: "So, the Thirteen Tai Chi Styles are still in Wudang?"
"Exactly." Taoist Chongxu said with a smile: "As long as the master of Ye Sect tells the old Taoist how to practice Tiyunzong, the old Taoist will show you the boxing manual of the thirteen Tai Chi movements."
"When I was a child, I heard from my master that the secret of becoming an immortal is contained in the Thirteen Tai Chi poses."
"Master Ye Clan, do you want to become an immortal?"
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, you have to seize it~"
Ye Qiu stared at Taoist Chongxu.
For some reason, when he saw Taoist Chongxu smiling, he felt that this old Yinbi was trying to trick him again.
However, Ye Qiu can't control that much now. As long as there is an opportunity to improve his cultivation, he cannot miss it.
"Senior, I want to read the boxing manual first." Ye Qiu said.
"No." Taoist Chongxu said: "Master Ye must first tell the old Taoist how to practice Tiyunzong."
"Senior, I told you, what if you don't show me the boxing manual?"
"Master Ye, I will never lie to you. You have to believe in my character."
"I'm sorry, I don't see the slightest bit of character in my senior."
Taoist Chongxu: "???"
The air suddenly became quiet.
The scene fell into a strange atmosphere.
After a while.
"Master Ye, according to you, the old Taoist is very immoral, right?"
"Yes."
Taoist Chongxu: "..."
"Senior, when I see the boxing manual, I will tell you how to practice Tiyunzong. If you can't see the boxing manual, then there is no need to talk about it." Ye Qiu's attitude was firm.
Taoist Chongxu was extremely depressed.
He is a dignified Wudang master and Taoist leader. How can ordinary people dare to negotiate terms with him?
But Ye Qiu actually bargained with him.
Hesitated for a while.
Taoist Chongxu gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I can let Master Ye Sect read the boxing manual first."
"However, after you read the boxing manual, you must tell the old Taoist how to practice Tiyun Zong."
"Let's start the ugly talk. If the leader of the Ye Clan makes fun of me then, don't blame me for being rude."
"I know that Master Ye Clan is a very powerful person and has one hundred thousand Longmen disciples under his command, but if Master Ye Clan plays tricks on me, the old Taoist will use all his strength to keep Master Ye Clan at all costs."
Ye Qiu smiled and said: "Senior, don't worry, I never act like a monkey, I will definitely do what I say."
"That's good..." The smile on Taoist Chongxu's face suddenly solidified: "Wait a minute, who do you think is the monkey?"
"It's not important. Senior, let's take him to read the boxing records!"
"Master Ye, please come with me."
Taoist Chongxu took Ye Qiu back to the Scripture Collection Pavilion and dug out a piece of bluestone flooring at the entrance.
The bluestone floor is about ten inches thick and three feet wide.
On the back is a boxing manual engraved.
"Master Ye Clan, please take a look." Taoist Chongxu pointed at the boxing manual and said.
"These are the Thirteen Postures of Tai Chi?" Ye Qiu asked.
"Yes." Taoist Chongxu nodded with a smile: "That group of people thought that they could find the Thirteen Tai Chi Styles by emptying the Sutra Pavilion. Little did they know that the boxing manual was at their feet."
Ye Qiu asked: "Isn't there thirteen movements? Why is there only one boxing formula engraved on it?"
Taoist Chongxu said: "The other twelve styles have been lost."
Grass!
Ye Qiu wanted to beat this old Taoist priest, but luckily he asked to read the boxing manual first, otherwise, he would have been tricked by this old Taoist priest again.
"Senior, you are so unkind."
"There are thirteen movements in total, but now you tell me that the other twelve movements have been lost."
"Aren't you trying to trick me?"
Ye Qiu is very unhappy
Taoist Chongxu smiled and said, "Master Ye Clan, please be patient and don't be impatient."
"Although the other twelve styles have been lost, I once heard my master say that as long as you have enough martial arts talent, you can understand the true meaning of Tai Chi with just one style of boxing manual."
"Master Ye Clan, do you want to give it a try?"
at this point.
Ye Qiu could only give it a try.
"Master Ye Clan, we have agreed that no matter whether you can understand the true meaning of Tai Chi or not, you must tell the old Taoist how to practice Tiyunzong afterwards." Taoist Chongxu said with a smile.
"I know." Ye Qiu waved his hand impatiently.
"Then the old Taoist will not disturb Master Ye." After finishing speaking, Taoist Chongxu turned around and left.
Ye Qiu immediately adjusted his state, stared at the boxing manual on the bluestone, and started practicing.
