Chapter 35: The Peak of Martial Arts

The old man stared at Tang Chao interestingly, and after a long time he said: "Hey, I didn't want to care about you. Maybe you and I are really destined. You must have listened to what others said at such a young age."

"Yes, I heard my elder brother Li Bai mention the name Sun Yixian, and I was lucky enough to read the book "A Thousand Gold Prescriptions","

Tang Chao answered truthfully, knowing that it would be better not to lie in front of such a person.

"What, Li Bai is your eldest brother," a look of surprise finally appeared on the old man's face, but then he said, "But they are not quite the same age,"

The Tang Dynasty did not hide anything, so he had to tell him how he got acquainted with Li Bai, and how he participated in the Nanzhao Rebellion.

Zhuan Xin listened and was secretly worried. Why was the Tang Dynasty so stupid that he actually told this "Central Plains" person such confidential things? If you want others to treat you, it would be harder than going to heaven.

But this still makes Zhuxin bearable. After all, this is only a matter of the Tang Dynasty. But the Tang Dynasty went on to talk about how he had made great achievements repeatedly and helped Li Gesang put down the rebellion in Nanzhao. As the emperor of Nanzhao, he Zhu Guo, the deputy marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, and what's more terrible is that he actually talked about his serving as the Huangmen Minister in the Tang Dynasty.

Zhuan Xin couldn't bear it any longer and said angrily: "Tang Dynasty, you are obviously a subject of my Nanzhao. Now you are not sure whether he is the legendary Sun Simiao. You just said everything like this. Aren't you afraid?" , not afraid,” he said with a bit of gritted teeth.

He had never lost his temper like this to Tang Chao, and he was really holding it back this time.

Unexpectedly, after saying this, the old man showed a look of appreciation on his face and shouted: "Little girl, your future husband has important things to ask of me, and he still doesn't let me wash my hands and cook. Why, just let me stand like this?" "

He ignored Zhu Xin at all and started laughing at Li Lian. When Li Lian heard this, his face turned red, but he felt sweet in his heart. He quickly picked up the chair next to him and placed it in front of the old man.

The old man sat down in the chair politely and let out a long breath.

This was nothing, but the strange thing was that as soon as he took this breath, a flying bee suddenly whirled in the air and fell down. The old man stretched out his hand and caught the bee in his palm. , smiled and said: "Little guy, I have a little joke for you,"

All this was very natural, but in the eyes of a person like Zhu Xin, he undoubtedly saw the strangest thing in the world. He immediately forgot about the question he had just asked about the Tang Dynasty, and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the old man's efforts. He was attracted, and so was Tang Chao. After seeing this magical scene, he couldn't help but say: "Mygod!"

This sentence attracted the old man: "Young man, what did you say?"

Only then did Tang Chao remember his gaffe and said with a smile: "I made this up. I don't know what it means, but it roughly means 'god'."

The old man looked at Zhuan Xin and smiled: "Young man, what is your name?"

Tang Chao replied: "My name is Tang Chao, Tang Monk's Tang, Dynasty's Chao,"

Tang Chao thought that the old man would be surprised when he said this, but unexpectedly he just smiled faintly: "Oh, I know who you are. You are the Tang Chao who relied on Princess Yuzhen to become the servant of Huangmen. It's interesting, it's really interesting. ,"

It seemed that he already knew about the Tang Dynasty, which made Tang Dynasty very puzzled and asked: "Have you heard people say that?"

"Yes, I know Wang Wei, the right servant of Shangshu. I mentioned it in gossip. I didn't expect him to be such a young man. It's really a pity."

Zhuan Xin suddenly interrupted him: "Senior, you, you just shot down the bees flying in the air with one breath, didn't you?"

He obviously felt that such a thing was so amazing that he couldn't help but ask.

Tang Chao was also very interested and wanted to know the answer. He didn't care about what he had to feel sorry for and stared at the old man.

The old man smiled faintly: "Oh, this is fate. What else can I hide? Yes, I am Sun Simiao. However, I am not a medical wizard. I only have a superficial understanding of medicine. I didn't expect that I would come in to ask for a drink of water. Meeting a few of you can be regarded as cause and effect. Don't you want to know what kind of martial arts I used to blow down the bees just now? Let me tell you, this is called an 'air arrow', and it can hurt people from a distance."

Li Lian was so surprised that she followed the old man's example and blew towards a leaf in front of her. Although she had summoned her full strength, she only made the leaf move. She also felt shabby and blushed.

It was ten o'clock in the morning, and Zhongnan Mountain was very foggy. The fog had not yet dispersed. The old man laughed and blew out his breath again.

A magical scene immediately appeared in front of everyone's eyes. They saw the mist in front of the old man shooting forward like an arrow, and it was ten feet long. When it hit the wall, it made a roaring sound and debris flew away.

It still has such power even though it is only one foot away. If you fight at close range, it will definitely catch your opponent by surprise. Others will only guard his hands and feet. Such a sudden attack will not be avoided by anyone in the martial arts world. Not much.

At that moment, Zhuan Xin and Tang Chao also tried to blow a few breaths, but they couldn't condense the air into an arrow at all. They couldn't even blow the air, let alone condense the air into an arrow like Sun Simiao, who could form a tangible arrow with one breath. Something like an arrow is really unheard of.

The old man was very satisfied when he saw that the three young men finally understood the uniqueness of his martial arts. He waved his hand and everyone stopped blowing and just listened to him: "Haha, I have nothing in this life that I can do except If you know a little bit about medicine, that's what this one-legged duck can do. Sorry, General, I was a bit old-fashioned when I spoke just now. However, this is also a small punishment for you. In the future, there will be no old people like me again. When someone comes to ask for a drink of water, don't drive him away. You must know that there are many cultivators like me in the entire Zhongnan Mountain. Giving them some convenience can be considered as a way to accumulate virtue for yourself."

"Yes, I must remember this, kid," Zhuan Xin replied sincerely.

You know, when ordinary people say such sermons, they are afraid of being laughed out loud and think they are talking in their sleep. But for some reason, such mediocre words came into Sun Simiao's mouth, and when he said them, all the people were shocked. Everyone nodded.

The Tang Dynasty had been guessing the identity of the old man for a long time. When he heard that he claimed to be the famous medicine king in history, he was overjoyed when he knew that it was possible to cure his meridians all over his body. He listened respectfully to everything he said.

Sun Simiao immediately said: "I practiced in Mount Emei, Mount Kuocang, and Mount Zhongnan, and tasted all the medicinal herbs in the world, so I got the nickname 'King of Medicine'. It sounded a bit scary, and many people called it in front of me. I, Sun Yixian, always calls me Sun Yaowang when you are carrying me. You don’t have to believe this. In fact, there are countless strange diseases in the world. I can’t cure all diseases. For example, I have seen the illness of this Tang Dynasty minister. I'm afraid, so I didn't dare to drink your water just now, but for the sake of this girl, I have to try the treatment. As for whether the treatment is good or not, it depends on God's will."

When Tang Chao heard this, he immediately knelt down and said, "Thank you, Senior Medical Immortal,"

Since this time of time travel, the severe damage to the meridians throughout his body has been haunting him. He clearly has the "Kuocangshan Martial Arts" coveted by martial arts people in his hand, but he just can't practice it. He is obviously passionate and wants to be like Li Bai. Fighting a decisive battle with the enemy, but his martial arts skills are low. For a person who has always wanted to make contributions and achieve a great cause, the pain can really be described as hell. However, although Sun Yaowang is not sure of the cure That's good for him, but after all, he saw the hope of restoring his old martial arts skills, so he kowtowed very reverently.

Just as Sun Simiao was about to wake up Tang Chao, Zhuan Xin also knelt down: "Senior, I have many mysteries in my mind. I would like to ask my senior for advice."

He also kowtowed his head very reverently.

But Sun Simiao suddenly stretched out his hand, stretched out three fingers, and supported his kneeling figure again: "No, I said, I come from a famous family in the Central Plains, and I will not spread the Central Plains martial arts to foreign countries. Please understanding,"

Zhuan Xin was shocked. He was grabbed by his three fingers, and he had no room for resistance. In fact, it was not that there was no room for resistance. It was just that as soon as his hand touched his wrist, there seemed to be rows of blood on his wrist. The sharp needle squeezed him, forcing him to retreat, otherwise he would be bleeding.

When Tang Chao heard this, he said proudly: "Senior, your approach is limited to the opinions of the sect. You must know that no matter how good the tricks are, if they are not shared with others, they will not learn from each other's strengths. If we make further progress, if the world All the masters are like this. You hide one move when you teach martial arts, and I hide one move when I teach martial arts. Isn’t martial arts declining? Besides, if martial arts is divided into barbarians in the Central Plains, who can learn it and who cannot learn it. , then the development of martial arts will inevitably be hindered,”

Sun Simiao's face showed anger: "Tang Shilang, are you an official of Nanzhao or the Tang Dynasty? I think what you are doing seems a bit wrong. You must know that between the Han people and the ethnic minorities from the Central Plains, There have only been wars and few interactions. You must know that you all covet our Central Plains for its rich resources, gold and silver products, and many beautiful women. You have repeatedly attacked our Central Plains. The Turkic invasion in the past few years and the recent Tibetan harassment are mostly for this reason. Why should we teach martial arts to these militants and invade our Chinese native souls?"

These few sentences, with their righteousness and righteousness, immediately awakened the Tang Dynasty from the era of the People's Republic of China. Yes, in the Tang Dynasty, many ethnic minorities were uncivilized. Countries like Yelang, Nanzhao, and Tubo, although their land was not There are few, but most of them are barren, with many mountains and irregular climate, which are not suitable for farming society at all. Naturally, the Tang Dynasty would not value such a place. On the contrary, the ethnic minorities wanted to get the things of the Han Dynasty and repeatedly launched wars. Sun Simiao's words did not apply. It makes no sense. The Tang Dynasty thought it was New China, with fifty-six ethnic groups and fifty-six flowers. All ethnic groups united, helped each other, and loved each other.

Hey, times are different, and people's ideas are naturally very different. Thinking of this, I can't help but laugh.

Seeing that the Tang Dynasty had nothing to say, Zhuan Xin also knew that his apprenticeship was in vain, so he stood up dejectedly and said with a smile: "Senior, to be honest with you, I am a Han, please teach me."

Sun Simiao, who had known Zhuanxin for a long time, suddenly shook his head and said: "General Zhuan, in fact, when a person learns martial arts, it not only depends on how diligent he is, but the most important thing is whether he has talent. Otherwise, no matter how hard he works, it will be in vain. "

Zhuan Xin was stunned: "Senior, you said that this kid has no talent."

Sun Simiao smiled and said: "No, no, you can use the Yingmen three-step cannon like that. Your martial arts is good and you have talent. Of course, I mean to practice first-class skills. Of course a general has this talent. And it seems that we are making progress in this direction now, which is gratifying, but you don't have the kind of mind to innovate, be flexible, and be familiar with any changes. Besides, although you are much younger than me, you are nearly forty years old. It is almost impossible for people to reach the peak of martial arts. Even if I teach you the supreme secrets of martial arts, I am afraid you will still not be able to reach it. On the contrary, it will harm you and make you go crazy. At worst, you will die instantly. I know that you are a kind-hearted person, unlike other barbarians who are cruel by nature, so I will not tell you this."

But a look of perseverance flashed across Zhuan Xin's face: "Senior, martial arts practitioners are willing to die. If this kid dies, I don't blame senior. I just want to hear the wonderful way of supreme martial arts."

A mocking look appeared on Sun Simiao's face: "Shilang Tang, in my eyes, you are the kind of person who is good at innovating and flexible. Please answer me, are you really a Han?"

"Yes," Tang Chao had no distracting thoughts in his mind. He thought, of course I am a Han. If I travel to the Tang Dynasty, it is real. I am indeed a Han. There is no way it could be fake.

Sun Simiao smiled and said: "I know, you are indeed a Han. In this brief moment, I caught the changes in your eyes and body. I can be sure that you are a Han. Well, since the general must If you take this risk and something happens during martial arts training in the future, don’t blame me for not notifying you."

"Yes, I understand, kid."

I saw Sun Simiao taking a sip of the cup of tea given to him by Li Lian in front of him, with a solemn look on his face, and talking about the truth.

Tang Chao was inexplicably horrified. Is this old man a god? Why didn't he even touch my hand? Just by looking at him, he knew that I was a Han and that what he said was true or false.

But at this time, Sun Simiao had already said slowly:

"The way to learn martial arts is to focus on dark energy first and foremost, focusing on the smoothness of meridians and acupuncture points from the inside out. Once dark energy is developed, it should be supplemented by bright energy and practice external martial arts to increase the body's martial arts. The two complement each other. "After all, once you master Ming Jin, it won't be too long before you master Dark Jin."

Zhuan Xin was overjoyed and asked quickly: "I understand all this, but how can I practice Ming Jin and Dark Jin?"

Sun Simiao said: "The body is the carrier of all martial arts. Although it is a shell, it becomes a sharp weapon because of the control of the human mind. However, the body itself is the flesh. To make it a sharp weapon, you can only strengthen the physical body and strengthen the mind. This principle It is originally very bright, but there are thousands of ways to practice it. All methods to strengthen the body, such as skin training, muscle training, and bone training, are all for the purpose of growing the body. They are all external martial arts, which is what I call Ming Jin. On the other hand, you must learn routines and changes. The recently popular Yuchi Gong Whip Technique, Guan Yu Dao Technique, Xingyi Quan Technique, etc. all strengthen the mind and focus on using the mind to control the body and weapons to injure and kill the enemy. This is what is called The pinnacle of An Jin and Ming Jin are copper ribs and iron bones. They have super strong ability to withstand blows and can barely cover their bodies. Iron cloth shirts, thirteen Taibao horizontal exercises, iron sand palms, etc. are all such martial arts. An Jin's The pinnacle is to strike like a needle, not to use weapons to hurt people, but to hurt people and kill people without showing their appearance. After being hit, you will have no fighting power."

Having said this, Zhuan Xin immediately thought of the scene where he was sent flying by the old man with just one move, and quickly asked: "Senior, you have mastered An Jin, right?" He also thought of his own life and him. The whole body feels like pins and needles upon contact.

Sun Simiao smiled: "Yes, for those who have reached the peak of dark strength, when they attack, the enemy will feel that the pores of his body are being pierced by the force, like a needle prick. However, this is not the pinnacle of martial arts. Real martial arts The pinnacle of learning is to develop listening skills so that you can detect any changes in the enemy."

"What is Tingjin?"

Zhuan Xin had vaguely understood it, but Tang Chao obviously didn't understand it yet.

Sun Simiao said: "Tingjin is a profound ability. People without talent will never be able to practice it. This is my standard for judging whether a person is suitable to advance to the peak of martial arts. This is actually very simple. Now, you Close your eyes,"

As soon as he said this, even Li Lian closed his eyes, not knowing what he was going to do.

Just listen to what Sun Simiao said: "Now, the first person I attack is General Zhuan. Be careful, but don't worry, I won't use all my strength."

Before Zhuan Xin could recover, Sun Simiao had already punched him in the head. The blow was very loud, so he instinctively dodged and leaned back.

Just as Tang Chao was about to open his eyes, Sun Simiao shouted: "Shilang Tang, don't open your eyes, the fist is coming."

Tang Chao immediately did not dare to open his eyes and felt the fist hit his lower abdomen. He instinctively shrank and at the same time used the "whip hammer" move in the "Kuocang Mountain Martial Arts". When he retreated, he was on guard against the enemy taking the opportunity to attack with his legs. Cut off the path of the enemy's legs and seal the upper and lower walls.

I heard Sun Simiao laugh: "Open your eyes, little girl, your martial arts are already pretty good, you don't need to learn any more."

At this time, Tang Chao and Zhuan Xin opened their eyes and saw Li Lian's shy face, but ignored her and looked at Sun Simiao to see what he said.

Just listen to him smile and say: "This is the most basic hearing ability. When you hear the sound of fists, feet and weapons, you have to imagine that you are a blind man, because only at this time, you will only rely on hearing to judge your opponent. However, this is just the low-level skill of Tingjin. The real Tingjin means not only listening with your ears, but also with your eyes, nose, tongue, body, and even every pore of your body. Only in this way can you do it in an instant. Make judgments and strike at the best time and place to attack the enemy, so as to defeat the enemy accurately without spending any more effort. General, you understand now. The reason why I was able to send you flying in an instant was not because of my skill. No matter how deep it is, the power of your fist is greater than yours, but the moment your fist comes into contact with me, I have used the sound to understand the direction, time, and joints of your fist, so I use your fist to The moment you are about to come into contact with my body, the balance of your entire body is destroyed. The difference is only one thought. The difference between a first-class master and a top master is just between this thought. This is the highest state of martial arts, the state of transformation. To be able to achieve this Those who take one step only rely on talent, and there is absolutely no trickery. For example, I use boxing to specialize in generals. If you just take a step back, you will be inferior. Unlike the adults of the Tang Dynasty, who took a step back. At the same time, I did not forget to seal the offensive line of my feet. If I had made it clear in advance, my test would be invalid. Therefore, the same method can only be used once for anyone. This is the simplest way to judge talent. "

These words only made everyone nod secretly. Zhu Xin was full of discouragement, while Tang Chao was ambitious. He never expected that he could practice advanced martial arts even though his meridians were severely damaged.

I heard Sun Simiao laugh: "Tang Shilang, Sun wants to recruit a disciple, and there is another party worth thousands of gold. You are willing to buy it."

Tang Chao hurriedly bowed to the ground. Knowing what he meant by this, he agreed to treat his injuries and accept him as his disciple. He quickly knelt down and said, "Thank you, senior, of course I will buy it."

But Sun Simiao's voice suddenly came out very hazy: "Don't agree so quickly, you can finish this matter first."

Tang Chao and Zhuan Xin were shocked to see that King Yao's shadow had disappeared, and they only saw a piece of yellow paper slowly falling from the air.

Zhuan Xin grabbed it with one hand and took a look, only to see a line written on the paper: "Kill Wang Ju to see the consequences."

The words were written with a piece of white powder. Everyone looked at it in shock and saw that the handle of the porcelain cup used by Li Lian to hold tea was missing and neatly broken in the middle. But strangely, the tea was not poured out at all.
