Chapter 9: The Power of the Gods

On Tuesday morning, Zhang Yuanpeng arrived in Puhai City early. After visiting Xiao Chufeng, he discussed with Zhuge Qingxuan and Li Jingwei the details of going to the Tianshan Hantan.

When it comes to the cold pool of the Tianshan Mountains, Zhuge Qingxuan still has palpitations. He didn't want to see what happened to Xiao Chufeng and Li Jingwei again, so he repeatedly emphasized every detail.

The devil is in the details. Zhang Yuanpeng and Li Jingwei are also well aware of the importance of details, and they have carefully written them down.

After the discussion, since Zhuge Qingxuan still needed to prepare other auxiliary medicinal materials, he left first. He didn't know if the two of them would be able to find the Red Flame Snake for Xiao Chufeng, but it was still necessary to prepare in advance, and he was determined to gamble on Li Jingwei's fortune.

Zhang Yuanpeng is about forty-five years old, and he looks simple and introverted, but the aura of a grandmaster looms in his gestures. As a genius in Wudang, it has been ten years since he stepped into the realm of selflessness. Zhang Longcheng once said that Zhang Yuanpeng will be the person in Wudang who is most likely to step into the realm of transformation before the age of 60 in a hundred years. Such a character, when facing Li Jingwei, a junior, has no shelf.

Zhang Yuanpeng heard his master Zhang Longcheng say that Li Jingwei entered the realm of selflessness at the age of 21, and he was also amazed. Thinking that he entered the realm of selflessness when he was thirty-five years old, it was already amazing, but he didn't expect Li Jingwei to reach such a realm at such an age.

After meeting, I found that Li Jingwei not only did indeed step into the realm of selflessness, but also basically stabilized, and even sighed that 'there are talents in the country, and a generation of new people is better than the old'.

He noticed that it was very commendable that Li Jingwei achieved so much at a young age, but he did not have the slightest publicity. On the contrary, Li Jingwei is very introverted and modest, showing maturity and stability that does not match his age, and he is also friendly and honest in dealing with others.

The two chatted quite speculatively, exchanging their understanding of the 'Tao' of Tai Chi, which benefited Li Jingwei a lot. It also made him realize that although both of them are selfless, Zhang Yuanpeng's cultivation is much higher than him, which is not only the accumulation of years, but also the difference in mood brought about by life experience.

Zhang Yuanpeng and Zhang Longcheng can be said to get along day and night, and their understanding of the Tao is beyond the reach of ordinary people. He also taught Li Jingwei's questions, which invisibly played a huge role in promoting Li Jingwei's future progress.

"Jingwei, although you are currently in the realm of selflessness, it is more of an improvement in the realm, which does not mean an increase in combat effectiveness. Over the years, your cultivation of Tai Chi has been more spontaneous, and it is a kind of self-cultivation, from the inside out. From your life experience, you don't have any combat experience, in other words, external factors have not played a role in your past ascension. After joining the Xuanyuan Dragon Alliance, you may also need to take on a certain amount of responsibility when necessary, and you may face a battle of force when carrying out the mission. Therefore, in the future, we should pay more attention to the improvement of skills. After learning about Li Jingwei's situation, Zhang Yuanpeng cautiously said.

"Uncle Zhang, what you said is right, I usually just insist on playing Tai Chi, I don't even know that I am cultivating, originally it was more for physical fitness, and I have never considered fighting with others. Li Jingwei said matter-of-factly, "Then what do you think I need to pay attention to in the future?"

"A person's combat effectiveness comes more from the actual combat process, although conscious self-training is necessary, but it cannot replace the actual combat. It is entirely possible for a person with rich experience in actual combat to defeat a person whose cultivation is higher than him by virtue of his combat experience. Asai Nagataka teaches you how to use your qi, which is very helpful for you and you can practice diligently. But we should pay attention to the integration with ourselves, not blind greed. In addition, it is also very helpful if you can practice regularly with people in the same realm. It's a pity that you work and live abroad, and I am afraid that there are not many such opportunities. ”

Zhang Yuanpeng pondered for a while, and then continued: "It needs to be emphasized that the method of Tai Chi pays attention to integration, and must not go to the root and the end, and pursue the technique of technical attack too much. As your realm rises and your comprehension of the Tao deepens, although your ability to take the initiative to attack will be weaker, it will not be easy to hurt you. ”

"Uncle Zhang, what kind of realm is the Transformation God Realm? I just know that there is this realm, but I don't know how high it is. Li Jingwei has been very curious about this question for a long time, so he couldn't help but ask it.

"I don't know much about that. I also once asked my master Zhang Longcheng, and he just told me a story about the past. When the Huaxia State was first founded, a certain large country brazenly supported a small country in launching a war of aggression against China, but it was later defeated and had no choice but to seek a negotiated settlement. The place of negotiation was set on the aircraft carrier of this big country, and the reason why the aircraft carrier was chosen was because China did not have aircraft carriers at that time, and this big country tried to exert psychological pressure on our personnel in order to gain an advantage in the negotiations. At that time, my master participated as a member of the group, and there was also a master of the Transformation God Realm. Negotiations were protracted, and our personnel wanted to return. Standing on the deck, the country's negotiator pointed to a row of carrier-based bombers, saying that these planes could take off at any time with nuclear bombs, and that the power of nuclear bombs was by no means capable of withstanding the tactics of crowds. The threat of this sentence was very strong, and during the negotiations, planes were constantly sent to harass China's border, resulting in heavy casualties among the residents of a village. This made the masters of the Transformation Realm who accompanied us very displeased. I saw him wave his hand, and a row of carrier-based aircraft disappeared in an instant. The country's negotiators peed their pants in fright. The next day, an armistice was reached. ”

Zhang Yuanpeng paused for a moment, and then said: "The master of the Transformation God Realm, the terrifying combat power of his can be seen. In fact, many nations have their own guardians, and they generally do not take action until they are in danger, in order to obey the laws of heaven and nature. But when the time comes to destroy the country and the species or the dignity of the nation is humiliated, it is natural that it will not stay out of the matter. Of course, stepping into the realm of transforming gods does not only rely on cultivation, but also on chances, and opportunities are unattainable. ”

"Uncle Zhang, have you ever seen a master of the Transformation God Realm?"

"No, even in my master's life, there was only one time in his life when he met a master of the Transformation Realm. At that time, my master's realm was still in the realm of selflessness, and I didn't feel that person's realm before that person made a move. People at their level are basically very young, and they rarely make a move. Moreover, to be honest, if we don't make a move, even if the masters of the Transformation Realm are around us, I'm afraid we won't be able to detect their realm. ”

"Have you ever seen the old fairy grandfather make a move?"

"I've seen it before, but since the master stepped into the half-step Transformation God Realm, he has never made a move. Do you remember, during the Spring Festival the year before last, Asai Yongtuo came to Wudang to challenge, and he still asked your grandfather to take action. At that time, I was going to fight, but the master said that Asai Yongtuo was a real martial artist, and he had a relationship with your grandfather, and he would not know each other, so he specially invited your grandfather to make a move. ”

Zhang Yuanpeng's words also solved Li Jingwei's long-standing doubts by the way.

Asking himself about the strength of Wudang, there was really no need to ask my grandfather to make a move, it turned out that there was such a source. But now it seems that as Zhang Longcheng said, his grandfather and Asai Yongtuo really became friends.

While the two were talking, Asai porcelain painting rushed over from the school. Seeing that the two were discussing business, they didn't bother, changed a cup of tea for the two, and went to the ward to chat with Xiao Chufeng.

Zhang Yuanpeng saw the porcelain painting of Qianjing and said, "This little girl really stayed." ”

"Yes. Now I am studying Chinese at Pu Overseas Chinese University and studying with my grandfather. She is very smart and is already very proficient in Chinese. Her grandfather, Asai Yongtuo, was originally fascinated by Chinese culture and proficient in Chinese, and laid a good foundation for her when she was a child. ”

The two chatted for a while, then rushed to the airport, took a 12:30 flight to Wushi, and then drove to Tianshan.

What Li Jingwei didn't know was that not long after he and Zhang Yuanpeng left the hospital, two more people came to visit Xiao Chufeng.

If Li Jingwei was present, he would definitely sigh that this world is really small. Because, these two people who came to visit Xiao Chufeng were Tang Jifeng and Tang Qiushui whom Li Jingwei met when he was waiting for his flight at New York's JFK International Airport.

"Brother Xiao, it's been a long time!" Tang Jifeng was also embarrassed when he saw Xiao Chufeng's sick appearance. Time flies, and the white horse flies. In the blink of an eye, both of them were already dying.

Although the Tang family focused on developing overseas, Tang Jifeng was a member of the Xuanyuan Dragon Alliance. Over the years, the use of the Tang family's strong strength and resources accumulated overseas has provided a huge boost to Xuanyuan Dragon Alliance's overseas operations.

Of course, this was all highly confidential matters, and only the top leaders of Huaxia and the core members of the Xuanyuan Dragon Alliance knew about it.

Xiao Chufeng and Tang Jifeng met at a Xuanyuan Dragon League conference, the two had similar interests, and they both practiced Tai Chi, and they became good friends after going back and forth. In the Xuanyuan Dragon League, the two were known as the "Fengyi Heroes" back then.

Originally, the two of them moved around a lot, and Old Man Xiao would also go to the United States to talk about martial arts with Tang Jifeng. However, 21 years ago, Xiao Chufeng and his wife went to the United States to visit Tang Jifeng, and their wives went shopping together, but they did not expect to encounter a gangster fight in the downtown area, and unfortunately they were injured by a stray bullet and died together.

At that time, Tang Jifeng and Xiao Chufeng were furious and destroyed the two gangsters in one fell swoop, but the deceased was gone. That year, Xiao Lin and Li Wenzhuo went to the United States to help deal with the aftermath, and Xiao Lin, who was ten months pregnant, gave birth to Li Jingwei in the United States.

Although he was happy to add his grandson, the pain of losing his wife still made Xiao Chufeng regard the United States as a sad place. Later, Xiao Chufeng never went to the United States again. This is also the reason why Li Jingwei has studied and worked in the United States for so many years, and the old man has never been to the United States to see Li Jingwei.

"Brother Tang, thank you for rushing back from the United States to see me. Xiao Chufeng was also happy to see his friends who he hadn't seen for more than ten years.

Although the Xuanyuan Dragon League will hold a general meeting every five years, it is unfortunate that in the last three conferences, either Xiao Chufeng has something to do, or Tang Jifeng has something to do, and he always misses it, resulting in the two friends not seeing each other for a long time. Of course, there are also reasons why the two of them are worried about meeting and recalling the sad past.

This time, Tang Jifeng learned that Xiao Chufeng was seriously ill, so he also let go of his knot and hurried over. In a blink of an eye, more than 20 years have passed, and both of them are already old. The friendship between the two hands clasped and buried in the heart is like a treasured wine, which has not only not diminished over the past 20 years, but has become stronger and stronger.

"Brother, time flies so fast, we are all old in a blink of an eye. Tang Jifeng said with emotion. Then, he seriously inquired about Xiao Chufeng's condition, and was very happy to learn that his old friend had improved in the past two days.

"Your grandson is looking for the Red Flame Snake, do you want me to help? ”

Tang Jifeng also knew what happened back then, thinking that Xiao Chufeng had no self back then, and he still left a hidden illness when he entered the cold pool of the Tianshan Mountains, not to mention his grandson, it is estimated that he is a young man who does not know the height of the sky. Thinking that his old friend was already seriously ill, he didn't want him to be hit by his grandson's injury again, so he offered to go over and help.

"No, I don't. Jingwei has stepped into the realm of selflessness, and with the assistance of Wudang Zhang Yuanpeng, there should be no big problem. Moreover, Zhuge Qingxuan said, this kid is my lucky star, and his trip will bring variables. Xiao Chufeng originally didn't want Li Jingwei to go to the cold pool of the Tianshan Mountains to find any red flame snakes, because this thing was already ethereal, and the cold pool of the Tianshan Mountains was extremely dangerous. Moreover, he was also very worried that Li Jingwei would be like himself, attacked by extreme cold, thus leaving a hidden disease.

However, he also asked Chu Li Jingwei's temperament, plus Zhuge Qingxuan, a half-immortal, was very optimistic about Li Jingwei's action, and he was also a little comforted in his heart.

He didn't want Tang Jifeng to go to Tianshan Hantan, after all, this old friend was also very old.

"Jingwei, Grandpa Xiao, your grandson is also called Jingwei?" Tang Qiushui next to him suddenly asked. She heard Xiao Chufeng call her grandson 'Jingwei', and thought of Li Jingwei she had met at the airport before, so she asked.

Xiao Chufeng was stunned for a moment, not knowing why.

Seeing this, Tang Jifeng hurriedly explained, "When I returned to China, I met a young man named Li Jingwei at the airport in New York, and when I saw that he had signs of a breakthrough, I took advantage of the situation and wished him a breakthrough into the realm of selflessness. Such a genius is only seen in his life. ”

"My grandson's name is Li Jingwei, he just came back from the United States yesterday, and he just broke through into the realm of selflessness yesterday, is it really him that you met?" Xiao Chufeng said. He was also puzzled in his heart, could it be so coincidental?

"Grandpa Xiao, is your grandson a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States?" Tang Qiushui asked again thoughtfully. casually handed the business card that Li Jingwei gave to Tang Jifeng and handed it to Xiao Chufeng.

Xiao Chufeng looked at the business card and said, "He is indeed a teacher at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, it seems that it is indeed him." But when did this kid become a professor? I remember working for less than two years. ”

Li Jingwei hasn't come back for more than two years, and he occasionally talks on the phone, and the old man spends most of his time talking seriously, so he really doesn't know some specific situations.

Don't talk about him, even Li Jingwei's parents, Li Wenzhuo and his wife, I'm afraid they don't know. Because Li Jingwei has been so worry-free since he was a child, he doesn't have to worry about him going down the wrong path, so he rarely asks him about his studies and work.

In Xiao Lin's words, it's just a big deal that I can't get along abroad, so I come back and raise it myself. She really hopes that Li Jingwei will return to China and help him in the company.

"Brother, I didn't expect you to give me a big gift before you arrived. Xiao Chufeng heard that it was Tang Jifeng Zhu Li Jingwei who broke through, and he was very grateful in his heart, and he also felt that fate sometimes really had so many coincidences.

"Brother, it's Li Jingwei, this kid is talented, even if he doesn't meet me, it will be a matter of time before he breaks through. Tang Jifeng was reluctant to take credit, and said with a smile, "However, it seems that our two old buddies are really fateful." ”

The two looked at each other and laughed, they had never been so happy to meet since their wives passed away.
