A golden light flashed out, and I saw a blonde old man slowly falling in front of the Taoist temple along the golden light, his face was like a child, and his expression was radiant. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

As soon as the disciples of the Taoist Temple saw that it was the master Taiyue who had really come out of the customs, they bowed down and said, "Welcome to the master to practice and get out of the customs!" ”

"My retreat practice is not complete, but when I hear someone call me uncle, I feel that there is something different about the person who comes, so I went out to take a look, it must be ......" Taiyue Zhenren looked around and said.

When Zhou Fan saw Taiyue Zhenren, he knelt down and bowed again: "Senior nephew Zhou Fan visits Uncle Shi!" ”

"You are Zhou Fan, the apprentice of Senior Brother Peng Zu?"

"Yes."

"Come in and talk."

At this time, Zhou Fan whispered to the guard: "I came with a horse, tied to the mountainside, please take care of it." ”

Who knew that Taiyue Zhenren heard this, so he ordered: "Zhenxiu, you go to see the horse." ”

"Yes, the disciple will go." Zhenxiu said.

Zhou Fan followed Taiyue Zhenren into the Taoist Temple. The hall is simply furnished, but it is functional. Taiyue Zhenren sat on the Taishi chair, and Zhou Fan, Liu Lai and other disciples sat on either side. Taiyue Zhenren said to Zhou Fan: "I once got the news that after your master immortal went, when you brought your senior sister out of Wuyi Xianchun Ridge, you broke the entrance of Xianchun Cave set up by me and my senior brother. The one who has broken through this threshold is you in the world today. It can be seen that you are wise and brave, and the senior brother did not accept you as an apprentice in vain. For this reason, I first sent Liu Lai, and then sent Hou Qi to find out your whereabouts, but unfortunately Hou Ji was martyred, and Liu Lai returned without success. He turned his face to Liu Lai and said, "Liu Lai, since you Liu Lai and your nephew are already familiar with each other, why didn't you show your master earlier?" ”

"Although the disciple is familiar with Senior Brother Zhou Fan, the disciple has never known that he is the person the disciple is looking for when he goes down the mountain."

"Uncle Shi, you can't blame Senior Brother Liu Lai for this, it's the nephew who is not good, although the senior nephew is familiar with Senior Brother Liu Lai, he has never told Senior Brother Liu Lai. Originally, after I passed away, I thought of Taiyue Mountain and met my uncle. But there are many twists and turns on the way, and I haven't come, so please forgive me uncle! ”

"When your master was alive, he and I observed and studied the celestial phenomena several times, and we all thought that the Xia Dynasty was about to run out, and there would be a new saint to replace it, and set up a portal in Xianchun Cave to test if there was a capable person, if there were, we would help him to follow the destiny of heaven and establish a new dynasty. Now that the virtuous nephew has broken the entrance of Xianchun Cave and my Taiyue's Five Elements Bagua Forest Array, he has come to Taiyue with great difficulty, and it is not too late. ”

"The nephew listened to the master's instructions and has been put into the banner of the Tang King of Shangguo, wanting to do something and serve the country. Thanks to the trust of King Tang, he asked his nephew to lead the troops to the country of Yan to help the country of Yan fight against the Xia soldiers, but unexpectedly, the whole army was wiped out. It's just that I relied on a Xuan Ape Sword to break out of the layers of Xia Bing's circle alone, and came to Taiyue Mountain alone. The teacher and nephew are indeed beyond their own strength, and it is really useless. ”

"Virtuous nephews don't have to blame themselves, martial arts and the art of war are really different, those who know martial arts will definitely lead the troops to fight, and those who can lead the troops to fight may not necessarily have good martial arts. When you just mentioned the Xuan Ape Sword, is it the sword you are wearing? ”

"Yes."

"Can you show Uncle Shi?"

"Of course you can, please take a look at it." Zhou Fan immediately drew his sword and handed it to Taiyue Zhenren.

Taiyue Zhenren looked left and right, and made a "tsk" sound. And said: "This is still a gift from God, could it be that the virtuous nephew has gone to the top of Mount Tai?" ”

"How does Uncle Shi know? Yes, I escorted a friend to the top of Mount Tai and asked the witch to see her a doctor, but the witch did not promise to cure her, but if the nephew could break a rock that she had designated, she could heal her, and the nephew obeyed her wishes, and smashed the rock with one palm, but a few days later, a hole was revealed where it was struck, and this sword was taken from the hole on the top of Mount Tai. ”

"That sword is drawn out, and it takes a deep internal force, so have you practiced the internal strength of the Yellow Emperor's Neijing? And it has reached the eighth or ninth layer, otherwise you would not be able to pull out this Xuan Ape Sword. But at your young age, how can you practice the inner strength of the "Yellow Emperor's Neijing" to the eighth or ninth layer? ”

"I am not satisfied with Uncle Shi, my seventh-layer internal strength was passed on by Huang Hu, the former head of the Huashan Huang Sect, and I only practiced one or two layers."

"That's right, do you know the origin of this Xuan Ape Sword?"

"I know a little bit about it, and I hope that my uncle will tell me in detail to tell my nephew."

Taiyue Zhenren took the Xuan Ape Sword and said in a gushing voice.

"When the Yellow Emperor fought with Chiyou, in the face of Chiyou's tiger spirit, there was no weapon that could fight against it, so he had to mobilize the national force to create a weapon that could defeat Chiyou's tiger spirit, as a result, Tianshan Liuguo craftsmen, using the meteorite iron that fell from the sky, made this Xuan Ape Sword, and now the world is rumored that the Xuan Ape Sword is cast by Xuan Iron, which is really misinformation. You see that this sword has gone through thousands of years, the sword light is as good as new, and there is no rust at all, how can this be done by Xuantie? The Yellow Emperor used this sword to defeat Chiyou's tiger spirit in one fell swoop, completely defeated Chiyou, and unified the Central Plains. After that, he sealed this sword at the top of Mount Tai, and warned the world, this sword is the sword of the Xuan ape, the world is peaceful, do not reuse this sword, such as the world is chaotic, the people do not live, then this sword reappears. He also wrote three books, "The Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon", "The Yellow Emperor's Outer Canon", and "The Yellow Emperor's Art of War", which have been handed down to later generations. This Xuan Ape Sword has appeared, which means that the world has been chaotic, and the Xia Dynasty is about to run out. Now the nephew obtained this sword, this is still the will of heaven, and it is also a gift from heaven. ”

Zhou Fan heard Taiyue Zhenren talk about the three books of "The Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic", "The Yellow Emperor's Outer Classic", and "The Yellow Emperor's Art of War", and thought that he already had two books, "The Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic" and "The Yellow Emperor's Outer Classic", but only one "The Yellow Emperor's Art of War......

After Taiyue Zhenren said that, he handed over the Xuan Ape Sword to Zhou Fan, and said: "This sword is extremely powerful, and the virtuous nephew must use it well." The world often says: 'Xuanyuan Sword, unparalleled in the world, those who support the sword, win the world', its 'Xuanyuan Sword, unparalleled in the world' is true, but this 'sword-bearer, winning the world' is really crazy. The Xuanyuan Sword alone can't win the world, and it is only perfect to use a set of superb swordsmanship that matches this sword. As the saying goes, the beauty of flowers also needs green leaves. Virtuous nephew, now that you have the Xuanyuan Sword, can you show us a set of swordsmanship? ”

"Honor!" Zhou Fan used his best trick, Xuan Ape Swordsmanship. He went from slow to fast, and from time to time he only saw the shadow of the sword, but not the body of the sword. As the end of the swordsmanship came, the sword slowed down again, and finally retracted the sword.

"Did you learn this set of swordsmanship from the Yellow Emperor's Outer Classics?"

"Yes."

"But there are two tricks that I haven't learned yet, that is, the two tricks of 'kneeling to the top of the tail mud', you don't play very coherently, you should be like this." Taiyue Zhenren said, sat down, re-grasped the sword, and gave Zhou Fan a test. Then he said while playing with his sword: "'Golden lock under the magpie bridge heavy building descending palace room', these two tricks should be more accurate in this way." ”

Zhou Fan was in one, watched Uncle Shi's performance and was stunned. Judging from the moves he played, he has fully practiced the internal skills of the "Yellow Emperor's Inner Classics" and the swordsmanship of the "Yellow Emperor's Outer Classics", which can play this accurate swordsmanship.

"There are two sets of "Yellow Emperor's Inner Classics" and "Yellow Emperor's Outer Classics" in the world, one set is in Huashan Huangpai's Huanghu, and one is in my Taiyue. And "The Art of War" is only one set, just in my Taiyue Mountain, try it today, only to learn that you have obtained the true biography of the old man Huang Hu. You can't be blamed for the defeat of your first army, if you had studied the "Yellow Emperor's Art of War" earlier, maybe there would not have been such a defeat, at least not the whole army would have been wiped out. Now I will grant you this set of "The Art of War", you have to study it carefully, help Ming Jun in the future, punish tyranny, save the people from fire and water, and don't disappoint your master and uncle's hope for you! Taiyue Zhenren handed the sword to Zhou Fan as he spoke, and took out a volume of cloth from the Yellow Emperor's Art of War and handed it to Zhou Fan.

Zhou Fan took the cloth and bowed on the spot: "Thank you, uncle!" Thank you Uncle for your advice! Teachers and nephews must study diligently, practice diligently, and live up to expectations! ”

Taiyue Zhenren: "Get up." With that, he returned to the seat of the Grand Master.

At this time, Liu Lai was a little indignant on the side, and said: "The master is biased, the disciple has followed you for so many years, I have a white beard now, I have never heard the master say "The Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic", "The Yellow Emperor's Outer Classic", "The Yellow Emperor's Art of War" or something, not to mention learning and practicing, as soon as Senior Brother Zhou Fan came, you were so good to him, I have an opinion." ”

"I'm ashamed to say this, I've always respected the ancient precepts, and the practice should be gradual, so I haven't taught you to learn the Xuan Ape Sword Technique. The main reason for this is that you do not have a solid foundation of internal strength. Time is like an arrow, seeing that I have entered the twilight of my life, all the disciples of my Taiyue Mountain, I have only learned the Taiyue swordsmanship created by the Taiyue Taoist Temple, and compared with the masters of the world, it is far from the same. If after I passed away, occasionally a master came to my Taiyue Mountain to ask for the Three Treasures, so how is it good! That's what worries me the most. ”

"Uncle rest assured, there is something wrong with Taiyue, and the nephew will live and die together with Taiyue Taoist Temple. However, Uncle Shi's longevity is better than Nanshan, and he is as blessed as the East China Sea, so it is impossible to go to immortals. ”

"Virtuous nephew, although you are sincere, but human life is fixed, and what longevity is boundless, it is all deceitful nonsense. Senior brother Peng Zu traced the way of health preservation all his life, and even the Five Elements Fist he created was invented for health preservation, but he only lived eight years old, and he did not have thousands. The old man knows his destiny, and his life is not long enough. After he said that, he got up and left the master to sit down, walked to the back hall, and said, "I'll go to the back hall, and I'll come in a while." ”

When Liu Lai saw that the master had gone to the back hall, he said to Zhou Fan: "You kid, you are too scheming, you know that I went down the mountain just to find you, but you have not told me, so that I have been blamed by the master in vain." ”

"I won't tell you, this has my suffering, please bear with Senior Brother Liu!" Zhou Fan bowed his hand and smiled.

At this time, Taiyue Zhenren came out of the back hall, sat on the Taishi chair, and said to Liu Lai: "Liu Lai, you don't always complain about the partiality of the teacher, now as a teacher, I will award you with the two "Yellow Emperor Inner Classics" and "Yellow Emperor Outer Classics", you are my senior brother of Taiyue Mountain, and it is natural to pass on the position of my Taiyue Guanguan to you, but unfortunately you are too playful, and your brain is stimulated after going down the mountain, and the words are repeated all day long, nagging, so after my death, all Taiyue Guan's major events must be agreed with Zhou Fanxian's nephew. You can now take the "Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon" and "The Yellow Emperor's Outer Canon" to take your juniors and disciples to practice. But take it step by step, and don't rush it, so as not to get caught up. If Zhou Fan's nephew doesn't leave for a while, if you encounter difficulties, you can ask him for advice! ”

"Disciple Liu Laizun obeys the teacher's orders."

"Senior Nephew Zhou Fan, have you stayed in Taiyue Temple for a while?"

"I want to stay in Taiyueguan for a period of time, take a good look at the "Yellow Emperor's Art of War", summarize the lessons of this defeat with Xia Bing, and further practice martial arts."

"Good. I'm not in retreat, I still have to retreat for a while, and I'm relieved to have you there. ”

"Thank you Uncle for your trust in me!"

Taiyue Zhenren flashed a golden light again, slowly walked out of the Taoist temple, and entered the retreat cave. He's going to do it again. When Liu Lai saw that the master was not there, he immediately had no scruples, showing his special him, and smiled with Zhou Fan: "You kid, you are really good, you used to call me Uncle Liu Lai, but now you call me Senior Brother Liu Lai, what do you call me?" ”

When Zhou Fan saw him say this, these two titles were problematic in terms of seniority, but he still explained to Liu Lai with a smile: "If you can find concern, call you Liu Laibo in front of concern, and call you Senior Brother Liu Lai on other occasions, is that good?" ”

"You mean tell me to find care quickly, and you will call me Liu Laibo in the future."

"Yes, if you can't find care all the time, then I can only call you Senior Brother Liu Lai."

"Phew! Bah! You crow's mouth, how can you say that you can't find care? We'll find her, and you'll call me Laulaibo. After that, he hurriedly walked out of the Taoist temple with the two books of "The Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic" and "The Yellow Emperor's Outer Classic".

Zhou Fan studied the "Yellow Emperor's Art of War" with his heart, and a few days later, he learned that this ancient leading army formation did have a background, which was indeed different from practicing martial arts and learning martial arts. In order to win a battle, it is necessary not only to take into account the number of troops on both sides, the strength of the troops, the terrain and landform, the climate and season, and other factors, but also to know the enemy and the enemy. The reason for the defeat of the first battle of the Xia army was that the news of the strength of the Xia army mentioned by Bai Zhi was wrong, and the strength of the Xia army was far greater than 2,000. Second, if you stick to the mountains all the time and don't go out to fight, the Xia soldiers will be helpless, and they will not be able to penetrate deep into the country. Meng Liang deliberately used a small number of soldiers to lure the soldiers out of the mountain, and then surrounded them with superior forces. As the commander, he did not stabilize his position, let the agitation, go out of the nest, and chased him all the way to the outside of the mountain, which violated the taboo in the art of war and caused the tragedy of the annihilation of the whole army. He also looked at several famous formations, such as the one-word long snake array, the Liuding Liujia array, the Nine Palace Bagua Array, the Eight Gate Golden Lock Array, etc. He wanted to return to Shang if possible, and lead his troops to fight against the Xia army again, and he would never make such a low-level mistake.

Of course, Liu Lai followed the master's instructions, step by step, first practicing the internal skills and mental methods of the "Yellow Emperor's Inner Classics", and then practicing the swordsmanship and boxing techniques of the "Yellow Emperor's Outer Classics". Therefore, in order to practice his internal skills, he led his disciples to practice rain or shine every day, and every day Taiyue's disciples practiced internal skills like wooden stakes.

One day, when the Taiyue disciples had just finished practicing, a group disciple hurriedly ran over, and when he saw Zhenxiu, he said: "It's terrible, the master can't eat the water, and he has become an immortal." ”

"Is there such a thing?" Zhenxiu didn't say a word, so he took him to Senior Brother Liu Lai's place, and said: "Senior brother, senior brother, it's terrible, the master has been in retreat for the past few days, and the food given to the master by the disciples in the gang room is not turbulent at all, is the master really becoming an immortal?" ”

After hearing this, Liu Lai said: "Is there still such a thing? After people become immortals, they really don't have to eat and drink? Let's take a look. ”

Liu Lai, Zhenxiu and a group of disciples all came to Taiyue Zhenren's retreat cave, and there was a small hole in front of the retreat cave, which was specially used to provide Taiyue Zhenren's food and water. The disciples took out all the food they had given last night and today from this small hole one by one. Seeing this, Liu Lai couldn't help but be ecstatic, and said, "Ahhhhhh The master has really become an immortal, and he doesn't have to eat, isn't this saving a lot of food for the Taoist temple? ”。 But he remembered what the master said, in case of a major event, he had to agree with Senior Brother Zhou, and this master would not eat or drink? Is it a big deal? Do you want to discuss with Senior Brother Zhou? Anyway, let's tell him, lest the master come out in the future and blame the disciple.

At noon the next day, when everyone was eating, all the disciples were in the dining room, Liu Laiqia and Zhou Fan were eating at the same table, Liu Lai was eating, and suddenly remembered that the master was in retreat yesterday, and he became an immortal without eating or drinking, so he said to Zhou Fan indifferently: "After the master retreated, he has not eaten or drunk for three days, and he may really become an immortal." ”

Zhou Fan heard Liu say this, a mouthful of rice in his mouth before choking, it squirted out, this spray, Liu Lai and the others didn't have time to disperse, some were sprayed, some were sprayed into the bowl, Liu Lai was about to scold Zhou Fan, but when he saw Zhou Fan, he was shocked and angry: "This kind of big thing, why didn't you tell me earlier?" Do you think people will really become immortals? ”

Zhou Fan knows very well that there are no immortals in the world, and it is impossible for normal people not to eat or drink, whether it is modern or ancient.

He didn't eat the rest of the food, so he said to Liu Lai and the others: "Let's go and see!" ”

Liu Lai and the others were all surprised by Zhou Fan's abnormal behavior, this was because they all believed that as long as people cultivated to a certain level, they could become immortals. Liu Lai said to Zhou Fan as he walked: "We have long heard that people who have become immortals can not eat or drink, what is so surprising about this?" The master can become an immortal, this is a good thing, we should celebrate talents, why are you nervous? If only I could become an immortal in the future. ”

Zhou Fan walked quickly, and there was no time to discuss with Liu Lai whether this person would still eat and drink after becoming an immortal, so he took Liu Lai to the retreat cave and shouted a few times: "Uncle Shi!" Teacher! ......", he listened to the cave again, and there was no movement. He quickly opened the door of the retreat cave and entered the cave.

"Ah......h ”

"Ah, isn't the master an immortal? How did it get to heaven? ”

At this time, the disciples of Taiyue who had been continuing to go on all entered the retreat cave, and they all saw Taiyue Zhenren sitting there peacefully, and they all shouted: "Master! Master ......", Taiyue Zhenren could no longer speak, and the disciples of Taiyue were crying at this time, only then did they know that the master did not become an immortal, but passed away.
