Chapter 140: Dual Cultivation of Martial Arts

"Don't practice, the little one is really not the opponent of the official family now." In the martial arts hall, Xiao Qi begged for mercy.

"Hehe, what do you mean it's really not now?" I smiled and withdrew my fist.

"Your Majesty's progress far exceeds that of Xiao Qi, whether it is speed or strength, the skill is above Xiao Qi, so naturally he has the upper hand." Yuan Jian said with satisfaction, "Your Majesty is busy with national affairs, otherwise, if you concentrate on martial arts, you may be able to become a peerless master who has never been seen before." ”

"Sir, if you specialize in martial arts, I may not be completely suitable for cultivating martial arts."

"Your Majesty, there are all industries in the world, enlightenment, and martial arts are no exception, and Your Majesty's heart is indeed the heart of a god and a man, so the minister will say this, not deliberately exaggerated and touted."

Everyone loves to hear good words, let alone those without malice.

I said, "By the way, sir, I have been practicing the third section of Taizu Changquan for half a year, and my strength and speed have been greatly improved, where, when can I learn the fourth section?" ”

"Your Majesty, there are only three sections of the Taizu Changquan that has been handed down in the world, the first section is to practice tricks, the second section focuses on actual combat training, and the third section is to cultivate one's own ability, while the fourth section is not normal, only a few mantras."

"No normality?"

"Exactly, there's a story here."

Xiao Qiyi heard the story and said with great interest: "Sir, come and hear it." ”

Yuan Jian smiled slightly: "The minister also listened to what the master said, and the minister's master is the chief elder of the Emperor Valley Martial Hall. About three hundred years ago, Emperor Taizu with a dragon stick in his hand beat me to the country, after dominating the world, Taizu will no longer fight in the river, have leisure time to think about the martial arts he created, the long fist is simple and practical, but too exposed, more than domineering and the royal road is insufficient, now he is the son of heaven, and he should have a set of Taizu long fist in line with the identity. Taizu's martial arts learned from Shaolin, and Shaolin martial arts to subdue demons and eliminate demons as the basis, to be fierce, said for a long time will be angry, the more clever, the heavier the anger, so the real Shaolin masters are mostly Buddhist masters, to save the suffering of the Bodhisattva heart to resolve the anger, so that the yin and yang can be combined, and Emperor Taizu perennial war, on the battlefield to kill countless people, but also added to this anger, fortunately Emperor Taizu has a good heart, with supreme compassion to forcibly suppress the anger in the body, but it has never been eliminated, in order to solve this difficulty, Emperor Taizu secretly entered the Valley of the Kings, and the elders of Wutang at that time, the elders of Shutang discussed the Tao for three days and three nights, although he did not find out the way to crack it, but realized the fourth section of Taizu's long fist, Emperor Taizu named himself the Changquan Yihui Trick, which means that it can only be understood, not spoken, and everyone will come up with different answers according to their own understanding. ”

"I see, to put it simply, there are only formulas and no moves, and there are typical tricks without tricks."

Yuan Jian praised: "Your Majesty's comprehension is really beyond ordinary people, it is exactly what the martial arts master said, there are no tricks to win, in fact, Your Majesty's cultivation of the Dragon and Tiger Mountain Shadowless Technique is also similar." ”

"How is this possible, how can you crack the opponent's tricks without using moves?" Xiao Qi didn't understand.

I said in my heart, this can't be blamed on Xiao Qi, who asked him not to be born 800 years later and read more martial arts novels?

"Sir, did the anger in Taizu's body dissolve later?"

"I don't know this, at that time, the Valley of the Kings hoped that Emperor Taizu could stay in the valley and cultivate for a period of time, and use the aura of heaven and earth in the valley and the creation of nature to resolve it, but Emperor Taizu shirked it on the grounds of heavy state affairs, and the later ministers did not know."

Song Taizu was only forty-nine years old when he died, even in the people, it is not a long life to drive a crane west at this age, not to mention that he is still the king of a country, a founding emperor with strong martial arts.

It is no wonder that later generations are quite puzzled about the cause of Taizu's death, and the theory of "candle shadow axe" is popular in the world, believing that Zhao Kuangyin was murdered by his younger brother Zhao Guangyi, who intended to usurp the throne. It's just that most of the records of the royal family of the Northern Song Dynasty were destroyed when Gaozong crossed to the south, and if it was really Zhao Guangyi's doing, then he would also wipe the traces clean, so that when I just crossed over, I flipped through the royal family information in the imperial study, intending to find out the record of the cause of Taizu's death, but there was no clue at all.

Yuan Jian told me the mantra of the fourth section of the Changquan Meaning Formula, and then said: "Your Majesty, Emperor Taizu passed away not long after he left the Valley of the Kings, so the theory of the fourth section has not been passed down to the world, only my Emperor Valley has left a record, and it is unknown whether Emperor Taizu left a trace. ”

Xiao Qi said: "Sir, Xiao Qi has something to ask." ”

"Xiao Qi, what's the matter?"

"Sir, the Emperor Valley martial arts is the best in the world, why doesn't Mr. teach the official family?"

Yuan Jian smiled: "Your Majesty must also want to know the reason." ”

"Yes, sir."

"Actually, the reason is very simple, first, the martial arts of the Emperor Valley cannot be passed on to outsiders, and Weichen will not accept His Majesty as an apprentice, right? Of course, the most important thing is another point, most of the martial arts in the Valley of the Kings are based on gradual enlightenment, so the requirements for basic skills are too high, just like Lan Yu and Shen Mo, just to learn the basic kung fu of the Valley of the Emperors, they practiced in the valley for a full five years, and then began to formally learn the martial arts of the Valley of the Emperors. ”

Xiao Qi nodded and said, "What Mr. said is reasonable. ”

"Sir, there is one more thing I have always wanted to ask, but I don't know if it's inconvenient."

Seeing that I was so polite, Yuan Jian hurriedly said respectfully: "Your Majesty, if you have something, just give orders." ”

"How did Mr. know the first emperor? How did you become my martial arts professor? ”

"There is no need to hide this matter from Your Majesty, the minister said slowly, well, this matter has to start from forty years ago."

"Forty years ago, how old was Mr. then?" Little Seven Ways.

"Xiao Qi, don't interrupt, listen to Mr."

"Haha, it doesn't matter." Yuan Jian said with a smile, "Your Majesty knows that the minister is from the Imperial Valley Martial Hall, but he doesn't know that the minister's ancestor is proficient in the arts, martial arts, and martial arts, and he is the only person in the history of the Emperor Valley who has penetrated the double paths, both martial arts and martial arts, and is also the chief elder of the two halls. More than 40 years ago, the ancestor passed the position of the elder of the two halls to the master and the master of Weichen respectively, and he traveled the world alone, and met the first emperor who was still a child in the area of Huiji Hongqiao. Seeing the strange appearance of the first emperor, the ancestor was curious for a while, so he asked the first emperor's birth date at random, pinched his fingers and simply calculated, but he didn't expect that the child in front of him turned out to be the emperor's order, and the ancestor was very surprised at the time, and thought that he was going to change the dynasty. So, the ancestor lived in the Hongqiao for three days, learned about the family history of the first emperor in detail, worked hard all night, carefully calculated the celestial phenomena, and deduced the number of the first emperor's life stars, although its life star is long, stretching for up to forty years, but it is always dim, what makes the master puzzled is that at the end of the life star, there is a faint glimmer of great vitality, which seems to break through the dimness of the life star at any time. Shizu was unable to deduce the meaning of this vitality at the time, and when he left, Shizu told the Emperor that in about forty years, the descendants of the Valley of the Kings would visit again. Two years ago, the minister came to Lin'an on the order of the teacher, and visited the first emperor, the first emperor still remembers the matter of meeting the master and ancestor vividly, and said that he has done nothing in his life, and hopes that the minister can teach His Majesty martial arts, so as to change His Majesty's congenital deficiencies and revitalize our dynasty. In this way, the minister became the prince's martial arts professor. His Majesty knew the rest of the matter, and it was not until His Majesty ascended the throne that the minister understood that His Majesty was the vitality in the life star that the ancestors said. ”

"Sir, your ancestor is also a god." Xiao Qi exclaimed.

It is indeed amazing that the first emperor can calculate the emperor's life when he is in exile, and it is also inferred that the first emperor has been in power for more than 40 years, and his political achievements are bleak. Moreover, Master Yuan Thorn can still count my arrival, which is even more incredible.

Could it be that my crossing is also predestined?
