Chapter 20 Become a master with a hundred years of internal strength
The Fang Gang was wiped out by Xu Qing and the Mei family and the elite martial arts hall, and the elite of the three hundred slave armies lost more than half, which was equivalent to cutting a piece of meat on Li Yong's body, Li Yong was not hostile to Xu Qing, but hateful. It's just that after Xu Qing eliminated the Fang Gang, he put Fang Zairong's wife, Li Yong's eldest daughter "Anguo County Lord" Li Xiang under house arrest as a prisoner at the main altar of the Longmen Dart Bureau, so that Li Yong threw a mouse trap and did not dare to act rashly. In addition, Xu Qing in order to save his wife, Mei Yong to save his daughter, Li Dacheng became a friend, joined forces to eliminate the Fang Gang who kidnapped hostages, and slaughtered the Fang Gang leader who had done many evils, and the people complained about Fang Zairong, occupying the moral high ground, and making Li Yong send troops to attack the Longmen Dart Bureau Division out of the unknown, not to mention that there was Mei Yong's second brother Mei Zhi next to him as the representative of the imperial court to monitor him, so that he did not dare to violate the imperial court decrees, and mobilized the army to suppress the normal legal business and Jianghu gang organizations without the approval of the imperial court. Only then did Li Yong know Xu Qing's history, and regretted that he shouldn't have listened to Fang Zairong's bewitchment, and his grudge with Xu Qing became deeper and deeper. The dignified side of the waiting, King Yan and Fan Yang made Li Yong, the son-in-law was killed by Xu Qing, the daughter and granddaughter were captured by Xu Qing and placed under house arrest, and the grandson died of illness inexplicably after being captured, but Li Yong had revenge and could not be avenged, dumb to eat Yellow Lotus, there was bitterness and could not be spoken, Li Yong, who had a bad reputation, was also ridiculed by the people of Fan Yang, the only two things Li Yong could do at the moment was to prevent his youngest daughter Li Mingyue, the "Closed Moon County Lord", from going to school in the elite martial arts hall, and the other was to negotiate with Xu Qing weakly.
Xu Qing didn't understand the laws and regulations of the imperial court, and he didn't know that the imperial court had Mei Zhi, a four-rank general, as a representative, who was clearly monitoring Li Yong, and there were also supervision envoys and interview envoys who inspected Fan Yang from time to time, and also planted spies around Li Yong. Gaozong Li Zhi suffered from headache disease and intermittent eye disease, blurred vision, entrusted military and political power to the empress Wu Zetian, Wu Zetian was ambitious, obsessed with power, cultivated cronies, the court and the army were divided into two factions, one faction was loyal to the famous and powerless emperor Li Zhi, and the other faction was loyal to the nameless but powerful empress Wu Zetian, these Xu Qing knew. But Xu Qing didn't know that Li Zhi'an was inserted by Li Yong's side, and Mei Zhi had been bribed by Wu Zetian, and provided information to Wu Zetian, so that Wu Zetian could understand everything about Li Yong. Li Yong was greedy for money and lustful, connived at the Fang Gang to run amok through lawlessness, and secretly asked people to find and rob the people's daughters for him, which made the heavens angry and resentful, and ruined the reputation of the royal family, which was in line with Wu Zetian's wishes. The people who went to Chang'an to sue Li Yong and the voice of impeaching Li Yong were suppressed by Wu Zetian, so although Li Yong was mediocre and incompetent, and the people of Fanyang were full of complaints, they still had ambitions, not only raising 600 slave troops, but also developing the Jianghu gang organization under his control, but he was able to keep the prince and official position. Xu Qing didn't know that Li Yong was actually powerless to deal with him, and treated Li Yong as a strong enemy. Anyway, he has a deep grudge with Li Yong, there is no way out, he can only put him to death and come back to life, kill Fang Zairong's two sons, put Fang Zairong under house arrest and forcibly occupy Fang Zairong's twenty-seven-year-old wife Li Xiang, who is as beautiful as a flower, and at the same time put his nine-year-old daughter Fang Tianxiang under house arrest, this is a dangerous move, not a good game, Li Yong will regard Xu Qing as an enemy who does not share the sky, if he plays well, Li Xiang will switch to Xu Qing's arms, Xu Qing will become Li Yong's new son-in-law, the two can turn their rivalry into jade silk, Fang Tianxiang is only nine years old, and when he grows up, he should be able to forget the hatred of killing his father, if he is not at ease, She is already a little beauty, and when she grows up in a few years, she will take her in, and she will never murder her and her mother's husband for her long-dead father.
Don't look at Li Xiang's identity as the county lord when he faced Xu Qing's forcible possession, threatened, scolded, struggled and resisted, all kinds of means were used, and he cried sadly afterwards, but within a few days, he had to face up to the reality, a stunning beauty like her, as long as she was in a normal mind, she would look for a strong person to rely on, Xu Qing was such a strong man, so Li Xiang accepted Xu Qing as the new husband, and fell to Xu Qing in the negotiation between Xu Qing and Li Yong. Li Yong was very surprised, but he was a lot older, and he had never seen anything before, and he completely understood that his eldest daughter switched to the arms of Xu Qing, a strong man in the sky and an underground, compared to Fang Zairong. Li Yong and Xu Qing reconciled, and it was logical and there was no suspense. At the beginning, Zhao Mengchen did not say a word to Xu Qing for a few days, thinking that Xu Qing was too despicable, but when a woman was exchanged for peace, it not only resolved the existential crisis of the Longmen Dart Bureau, but also made King Yan and Fan Yang Jiedu turn Li Yong and Xu Qing into friends and became Xu Qing's powerful backers. With Li Yong's support, the possibility of Xu Qing exposing his identity in Fanyang has been greatly reduced, and Xu Qing can develop his power without interference, and in the future, in the coming era of Wu Zetian's chaotic government and crazy attacks on the Tang Dynasty royal family and royal loyal ministers and good generals, Tubo, Turkic, Khitan, and Korean rebels one after another, and nearly half of the territory of the Tang Dynasty fell into the hands of foreign races, leading troops to recruit foreign races and recover the country. This is Xu Qing's ideal, Zhao Mengchen, his father, and his family are all Han Chinese, all patriotic people, and will never allow foreign races to split the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and fully support Xu Qing's ideals and actions for this.
Zhao Mengchen admitted to Xu Qing that he was short-sighted, and admitted that he was wrong to scold Xu Qing for forcibly occupying Li Xiang as a beast, and asked Xu Qing for forgiveness. Xu Qing smiled, and his relationship with Zhao Mengchen was even more than in the past. In order to deal with Xu Qing and the famous master of the rivers and lakes, Mei Yong, the head of the Mei family, is about to compete in martial arts, Zhao Mengchen specially gave half a year of penance to the internal force, which is equivalent to the internal force of ordinary martial arts people who have practiced for 50 years, accounting for one-sixth of Zhao Mengchen's internal strength in the past three hundred years to Xu Qing. It took Xu Qing five days to digest and absorb the internal force that Zhao Mengchen had lost to him, and he became a first-class master in the rivers and lakes with a hundred internal strength. Zhao Mengchen's vitality was greatly injured and he returned to the Yanshan base to retreat and practice.
On the morning of September 10, Youzhou North Gate Square was crowded with people. Many martial arts practitioners and people who watch the excitement come to the square early to grab the best view of the terrain. Xu Qing and Mei Yong arrived on time. Zhao Mengchen was still in retreat and couldn't come to watch the battle, but her grandfather, grandmother, father, mother, uncle, aunt, aunt, and uncle all came. Mei Kaifang came to the scene to watch the competition with extremely complicated feelings - one is her husband and the other is her father, no matter which one is injured, Mei Kaifang does not want to see it.
When the competition was approaching, Mei Kaifang said to Xu Qing again: "Please don't hurt my father." Xu Qing said impatiently: "I know." Mei Kaifang has told her several times. Then Mei Kaifang begged her father again: "Dad, daughter, please don't hurt my husband." Mei Yong didn't answer, and snorted heavily, to show his dissatisfaction with his daughter's betrayal of the Mei family and not secretly poisoning Xu Qing. Mei Kaifang sighed secretly in her heart and silently returned to Xu Qing's side. Soon, the staff struck the gong to announce the start of the competition.
The first competition is a test of fist and foot kung fu. Xu Qing has an indescribable dislike for Mei Yong - if there is a father, there must be a daughter, and Mei Kaifang's insidious viciousness is completely inherited from his father. Xu Qing put on a posture without saying a polite word, which made Mei Yong feel that he had nothing to say to Xu Qing. Although Mei Yong's moves are not as subtle as Xu Qing's Qiao, he is a master with one hundred and fifty internal strength, and his internal strength is deeper than Xu Qing's, and his actual combat experience is also richer. No matter how Xu Qing changed his moves or what angle he attacked, it seemed to be expected by Mei Yong, and Xu Qing felt scared.
From the very beginning, Xu Qing was at a disadvantage, until after a hundred moves, Xu Qing suddenly remembered what Zhao Mengchen said when he gave himself the first lesson of the Snow Mountain Sect's internal strength and mental method: "The most powerful and eternal thing in the world is the softest thing, not the most rigid thing. The sea is soft, the reef is hard, but the waves hit the reef, and after thousands of years, the reef is not there and the sea is still there; The hair is soft, the branches are hard, we can break the hard branches, but we cannot break the soft hair; The sword can cut through ordinary swords, but it can cut through streams...... There are many more such examples. Xu Qing, you have to remember that softness can overcome rigidity. The internal strength of the Shaolin faction is called Shaolin internal strength, and the internal strength of the Huashan faction is called Huashan internal strength, but the internal strength of the Snow Mountain faction is not called the internal strength of the snow mountain, but the 'spring breeze and rain'......"
At that time, Xu Qing interrupted Zhao Mengchen's words and asked, "Master, what is 'spring breeze and rain'?" ”
Zhao Mengchen explained: "'Spring breeze and rain' means that spring is coming, everything is recovering, the spring breeze blows, the sky rains, the trees become green, and the grass becomes green." ”
Xu Qing thought for a long time before saying: "I understand, the spring breeze and spring rain are both soft...... Zhao Mengchen's beautiful eyes lit up, and he praised: "You are so smart!" The internal strength of the Snow Mountain School pays attention to overcoming rigidity with softness, so it is named 'Spring Breeze and Rain'. There is also a deep meaning in the name of the ancestors, that is, he hopes that we will use martial arts to promote good and hoe evil, and benefit the world, just like 'spring breeze and rain', to bring vitality to the earth. You must be a good person, so that I can teach you the martial arts of the Snow Mountain Sect, you know? ”
Although Xu Qing learned the swordsmanship, palm technique and internal strength of the Snow Mountain School from Zhao Mengchen, but at that time, Xu Qing's internal strength was instilled in him by Zhao Tuozhi, who was born in the Tianshan School, and the internal strength of the practice was also Zhao Tuozhi's Tianshan School, which emphasized the combination of rigidity and softness, and emphasized the masculine internal strength. Xu Qing has just obtained Zhao Mengchen's instillation of fifty years of "spring breeze and rain" internal force, and has not yet been integrated, and now the hundred years of internal force in Xu Qing's body are divided into two shares, one is the internal force of the Tianshan faction, and the other is the internal force of the "spring breeze and rain" of the Snow Mountain faction, each for fifty years.
Xu Qing made the internal strength of the Tianshan faction already handy, but the martial arts of the Tianshan faction - palm and sword techniques are too difficult to understand, Xu Qing only learned the moves, did not understand the essence, Xu Qing prefers to use the mysterious and esoteric and difficult to understand, but better than the Tianshan faction palm and swordsmanship.
The highest level of "Tianshan Palm Technique" and "Tianshan Sword Technique" is the eight words "no desire, no thought, no trace and formless". Although Xu Qing is talented and intelligent, he is limited by experience, skill, experience, and time, and has not yet reached this realm, and he has not even reached the realm of "ethereal, seemingly unmoved, but there are tricks". Not to mention Xu Qing, it is Xu Qing's master Zhao Mengchen, Xu Qing's master Zhao Tuozhi, and Xu Qing's master's master Zhao Gain, no one of the Tianshan School's martial arts has reached the highest and second highest realm of the Tianshan School's martial arts. For hundreds of years, the masters of the Tianshan faction have not come out, and once they come out, they must be the masters of the martial arts, which is also the reason why the Tianshan faction has been famous in the martial arts for hundreds of years and is respected.
