Chapter Seventy-Five: On the Dao Master
At that table, before the old man could speak, the young man Fang Zheng answered first: "This is all compiled by some Jianghu artists to earn tea money." Where is the real thing? Senior Sister Wei, don't think about it too much. β
The girl was puzzled: "Is that fairy also fake?"
Young Fang nodded and said, "Of course." β
"But Senior Brother Cheng, Senior Brother Yun said that the valley medicine immortal is a fairy descending to earth. The girl said suspiciously.
The young man surnamed Yun who was sitting on the other side heard this, choked on a mouthful of wine and coughed in his throat, he was a young man's ardent reverie for beautiful things, and he was embarrassed to be said in public by his senior sister at this time.
Cheng Jun glared at him, and turned to the girl: "Don't listen to his nonsense, the valley medicine fairy is also a mortal, but she has excellent medical skills, so we respectfully call her a medicine fairy." β
The girl's eyes dimmed, and her voice was weak, as if she was talking to herself, as if she was hopeful: "She is also a mortal, so can she cure my illness?"
Cheng Jun was stunned for a moment, and the old man on the side comforted him: "Yingying, don't worry, your father entrusted you to be a teacher, and the teacher will definitely cure your illness. β
"Grandmaster, can Grandmaster cure my illness?" The girl's eyes lit up, and after receiving the old man's affirmation, she looked at the young man surnamed Yun again, and seemed to trust the latter more.
The young man surnamed Yun just breathed a sigh of relief, and when he saw the girl looking over, he hurriedly said nonsense: "Master is right, how capable the grandmaster is, he can do everything to call the wind and rain, almost like a fairy...... uh". He said it as if he had seen it himself, but he could see Cheng Jun's round eyes, and the second half of the sentence was swallowed back into his stomach, and he buried his head in the food. It seems that he has been taught a lot of lessons by the other party because of his bragging.
The girl innocently admired: "Really, the Grandmaster is really so powerful. β
The old man stroked his beard and smiled: "Yingying, don't listen to Yunqing's nonsense, the grandmaster is powerful, but calling for wind and rain is still too exaggerated." β
When the girl heard her master say this, she became worried again: "Then can he cure my illness?"
The old man said confidently: "I don't know about other grandmasters, but Senior Mu is an air path grandmaster, so it's definitely okay." β
Chen An listened to it interestingly, and couldn't help but prick up his ears, only to hear Cheng Jun ask: "Uncle Sun, why is there still a classification for the grandmaster?" Referring to the topic of the grandmaster, Yun Qing, who was addicted to food, also raised his head, obviously very interested in this matter, after all, it represents the supreme achievement of martial arts, and it is the ultimate pursuit of all martial arts students, even rookies who have just entered the rivers and lakes have a yearning for it.
The old man explained: "Of course, martial arts is broad and profound, qigong is only one of them, and any move technique practiced to the top can become a grandmaster." If you practice swordsmanship, you are a swordsmanship master, and if you practice swordsmanship well, you are a swordsmanship master. β
"Then Master, how can you become a grandmaster?" Yun Qing asked, and for a while, the five or six people around him were silent, and they all pricked up their ears to listen to the situation here. Even Cheng Jun was calm, with a look of hope on his face.
The old man groaned slightly and sighed: "Okay, I was afraid that you would be too ambitious, so I didn't tell you, but since you asked, I will tell you about it, so that he won't walk alone in the rivers and lakes one day and make jokes because of his lack of knowledge." β
Yun Qing heard his master's words, and subconsciously looked at Chen An who was sitting next to him, with a look of envy in his eyes, and he didn't know when he would be able to fight alone in the sword rivers and lakes. Chen An looked fifteen or sixteen years old on the outside at this time, and at this age he walked the rivers and lakes alone, thinking of the kind of days when there was no elder of the master to mention his life, how happy it was, how could he not make Yun Qing envy The old man cleared his throat and continued: "The rivers and lakes like to define martial arts with deep internal strength, but in fact, this is not accurate. Since ancient times, there is no first martial arts, and there is no second, and no one knows who is strong and who is weak. The difference between victory and defeat is not a competition of internal strength, but an understanding of martial arts. β
Yun Qing was puzzled, "Then what does this have to do with the Grandmaster?"
The old man said with a smile: "Because everyone in the world is the four realms of qigong, internal strength, true qi, opening the body, and opening the acupoints, and reaching the whole body is the master of the acupoints, this kind of thinking is wrong." The only criterion for evaluating a grandmaster is to comprehend the true meaning and evolve the law. This is the real martial arts realm, and you can call it a martial arts master. β
Yun Qing continued to ask with a confused expression: "What is the true meaning?"
When the old man recited the "Dharma", he also had a sense of longing, and when he heard Yunqing's question, he came back to his senses and explained: "The moves, the true meaning, and the legal principles represent the three realms of martial arts. Corresponding sentence: Look at the mountain is a mountain, look at the mountain is not a mountain, look at the mountain is still a clichΓ©. Now you are learning the moves by setting up a shelf to practice the foundation, and what you use against the enemy is just a combination of these moves, so look at the mountains as mountains. When one day you can realize the true meaning of what it wants to express from these dead moves, then you have reached the second realm, seeing the mountain is not the realm of the mountain, and what you use to fight the enemy is no longer the daily learning moves, but a random blow at your fingertips, but what is contained in it is the true meaning that you have comprehended. The people in the rivers and lakes say that there is no trick to win, and this is what they say, and they are no longer stuck in the situation. As for the final realm of legal principles, I don't know what the teacher is, but I have read the notes of the patriarch that when I reach this realm, I have departed from the true meaning of the moves, understood the most fundamental legal principles of martial arts, and created my own true meaning with these eternal and unchanging legal principles, and finally evolved into moves against the enemy. At this level, there are no flaws in itself, and others can't find a way to crack it by studying your martial arts, because as soon as you make a move, it's the latest move, who can deal with it?"
Everyone listened to it suddenly, and the veil of the Grandmaster's mystery was so palpable. Even Chen An nodded secretly, although the old man was not a grandmaster, this was really good. Thinking of one's own cold and hot palms, you can turn extreme cold, can turn extreme heat, and can also alternate between cold and heat, the law is the same, and the change is from the heart. Even often not confined to the change of cold and heat, but also introduced the momentum of iceberg collapse and meteor fire shower.
Wei Yingying's focus was obviously different from everyone's, and she blurted out: "Master, you are now in the realm of true meaning, isn't that only one step away from the grandmaster." β
The old man smiled bitterly and said: "How easy is it, I don't know how many top masters in the martial arts have realized the true meaning, but there are very few who have achieved grandmasters, and it is difficult to take that step." β
The eavesdroppers around are only second- or third-rate martial arts, and they don't even know what the true meaning is, and where can they understand the bitterness of the old man, just listen to it as a lively scene, and accumulate talking points for the future.
At this time, a thin man with a burnt yellow face walked to the old man's table with a wine cup and said respectfully: "Could it be that Your Excellency is the predecessor of the Taiyue Sword Sect's Yijian Zhenheyue Sun Qingsun?"
When the old man saw that someone knew him, he said to himself: "Don't dare, it's the old decay." As soon as he admitted it, the diners dressed as people in the rivers and lakes on the second floor immediately stood in awe.
Yun Qing also raised his head proudly.
The yellow-faced man said excitedly: "Sure enough, it's the old-timers, and the juniors are polite here." As he spoke, he bowed his head and handed the wine cup in his hand to the old man, and there was a saying of serving wine on top of the toast, which was the greatest respect for the elders.
Chen An's nose twitched, wondering where the bitter almond smell came from, and finally his eyes were fixed on the wine cup in the yellow-faced man's hand, and he suddenly realized that this bitter almond could indeed trigger an explosion of all the toxins latent in the old man's body.
But such a grandiose poisoning is too rampant, who would drink the wine handed by a stranger.
Chen An looked at the old man in astonishment, hesitated for a moment, then took the wine cup boldly, raised his head and drank it, and raised his glass to pour, and there was not a drop left. actually drank it, and drank so happily, no wonder Chen An couldn't understand it, the environment he lived in was different from the upright grievances and hatreds on the rivers and lakes, and the poisoning plot was normal in Chen An's opinion, but it was the most shameful behavior in the rivers and lakes. Of course, even if Chen An knew, he would still do this, after all, the benefit is the most important, I killed you, who said that mine is not.
But Sun Qing's thoughts can't be wrong, after all, the Great Zhou has been peaceful for decades, and there are very few vendettas in the rivers and lakes, everyone is more about martial arts, and the point is stopped, and there is almost no death, killing people is a violation of the laws of the Great Zhou, and they have to bear the punishment of the dark division, and in his mind, he has no grievances with the other party, what reason does the other party have to harm him, and more importantly, he has confirmed it with the special methods of the master, and the wine is not poisonous. The thin man just figured out Sun Qing's old-fashioned temperament and toasted in front of everyone, without worrying about his inaccessibility.
Chen An didn't know if the other party was crazy, or if he had amnesia and was completely outdated, he could still be poisoned like this, it was really insightful, so why did he lurk in Mingjian Villa for a year, and just take the poison and feed it to Lu Chengjun.
Chen An was still entangled there, but Sun Qing's face changed, and a black breath floated on his eyebrows. "You ......" he instinctively slapped the thin man in front of him, who raised his palm to meet the attack, was shocked back seven steps, and was retreating to the railing, he jumped over, turned over and jumped down the second floor, and disappeared by the flow of people downstairs.
"Master" Yunqing and the other three juniors were shocked, and hurriedly stepped forward to help, they didn't react at all, one moment they were still honored under the master's resounding reputation, why the next moment their own master was poisoned and fell to the ground.
It was still Cheng Jun who was the most calm, stretched out his hand to seal the big acupoint on Sun Qing's body, and took out an antidote pill for him to take, and turned his head and instructed his junior brothers and sisters: "Hurry up and go to Youlan Valley and ask the medical fairy to help." β
Yun Qing and Wei Yingying helped Sun Qing to Cheng Jun's back and hurried downstairs to the outside of the city.
Chen An and a group of idlers in the rivers and lakes all watched them leave with the intention of watching the excitement, and they had no intention of interfering in such idle affairs. Even a famous master like Sun Qing is a strong existence, who has the ability to set up a beam? It is safer to be surprised by Xiuxiu next to him. As for Chen An, he is purely adjusting his mood, he can't be busy with his own affairs, how can he be in the mood to take care of other people's affairs.
