In early autumn in July, the temperature turns cooler, and the sky is high and cloudy.

Outside the capital, a newly cleared vacant land is already a neat and vast school field at this time.

I saw a high platform in the middle of the school yard, with hundreds of chairs on each side; In the outer circle, dozens of large huts have been erected.

Farther away, Zhao Qing stood on the outer city wall, holding a thick scroll in his hand, and sketching with a pen from time to time.

She could catch a glimpse of the schoolyard in the distance below. On the side is a corner tower covered with ash tube tiles and green glazed ridges, which shine in the sun.

The tournament, which was originally scheduled for early May, was postponed by him for more than two months. In order to make more adequate preparations, and let the news spread to all parts of the country, so that more sect masters and scattered people can come to participate.

It has been three months since Zhao Qing entered the palace alone. Naturally, she had exhausted all kinds of martial arts collected by the imperial court and obtained a number of divine weapons.

However, there are not many top-notch exercises among them, and none of them can match the profundity of the Divine Illumination Skill, even if they can compare to the Blood Sword Sutra, there are only two or three.

The first door is the famous martial arts "Blood Condensation Claw" by Chen Jinnan of the former Heaven and Earth Society, which was a secret book that was accidentally searched after the Taiwan to which the Zheng family belonged was captured.

This skill is a very clever method of internal strength, which can block the blood veins, and even make the blood gradually coagulate, and quickly lose the ability to counterattack.

With Chen Jinnan's skills back then, the blood of the whole body will slowly coagulate after three days, and there will be no cure.

However, his internal strength did not reach the highest level contained in this martial art, and after the dark energy penetrated the enemy's body, he had to wait for at least half an hour before it began to attack, and in the actual combat of a master of the same level, the effect was not great.

However, at this time, Zhao Qingshen had already completed his work, the meridians of his whole body were all unblocked, and his true qi was flowing endlessly, which was the Nine Tribulations and Gui Xin Shu in the Lu Ding Ji era, and his internal strength was also a step and a half worse than her, so he quickly practiced the highest level of this skill.

When fighting against the enemy, you can use your internal strength to interfere with the operation of the opponent's blood and qi, which is somewhat similar to the internal force interference of the Yi Jin Jing when you are in the palm of your hand when you are smiling and arrogant, but in terms of effect, it is much more vicious.

The second door is the crane control skill that requires extremely high internal force, and after practicing to the superior realm, you can have the ability to take things in the air, capture the enemy in the air, and grab the sword.

This is not a clever method such as sleeve wind, but a subtle use of internal force, which generates a huge suction force out of thin air.

However, this skill needs to be supervised and passed to exert a powerful effect, and those with low internal strength have no gain in practice. In fact, the last master who practiced this skill to the superior realm was Xie Yanke, a skyscraper in the middle of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhao Qing used the Dacheng realm's Shenzhao Gong to control the crane skill, and quickly practiced the effect of being able to take things in the air from four or five feet away, but compared with the power performance of Gu Mozhi's Crane Control Gong and Xiao Feng's Dragon Capture Gong in the Tianlong Period, it was still much worse.

It can be speculated that the level of martial arts in the Northern Song Dynasty was indeed much stronger than that of the Qing Dynasty.

At the very least, Zhao Qing had the confidence to outperform any master in the entire Qing Dynasty in terms of internal strength. The most profound Shenzhao Gong in this era has been practiced by her to the upper limit of this internal skill, and there is no way to advance.

If you get to the third door, it is probably a technique called Xuantian Finger, which is yin to cold, has the power of condensing water into ice, and the main practice of two fingers in both hands can be used as a blade, with strong strength, and the ability to clamp the blade between the fingers.

In the past, one of the Sun and Moon Divine Sect practiced this martial art, and the black and white sons in the four friends of Meizhuang were not shallow in Xuantian Finger, but their skills were indeed inferior. In fact, this martial art is not inferior to the cold ice true qi created by Zuo Lengchan.

The reason why it ranked third was mainly because Zhao Qing had too few opportunities to use it. Deliberately giving up the advantage of the blade and fighting the enemy empty-handed is not her approach. However, Xuantian Finger's cold cooling method also gave Zhao Qing a lot of inspiration, increasing the various changes contained in his internal strength.

In addition to these three doors, Zhao Qing also found the secret books of the Kongtong faction such as "Yin and Yang Mill, Flying Phoenix Hand, and King Kong Finger", and Shaolin's Fuhu Palm, Snow Mountain Palm, Great Compassion and Great Compassion Chiba Hand, and other exercises between the beginner and the profound.

As well as the Kunlun School's rain and flying flower sword technique, Hanmei sword formation, Tantric mudra, heart palm, supreme pestle, Wuji Gate's "Wuji Fist Gong" and so on.

These cheats are all recorded in the first-class martial arts in the rivers and lakes. The vast majority of them are high-quality martial arts that ordinary people in the rivers and lakes can hardly access in their lifetime.

If you can practice some achievements, you will generally have the martial arts level of Yan Daping, Qi Changping and others; If you can integrate several of them, you may not be able to become a top master of the rivers and lakes at the level of falling flowers and flowing water.

If you put a random copy in the rivers and lakes, although it will not cause a bloody storm, there will definitely be a large number of people vying for it.

But in Zhao Qing's eyes, the grade of these martial arts is nothing, and can only be used as nourishment for his own internal strength and swordsmanship.

In addition, among the weapons collected by the imperial court, there were indeed several sharp weapons, such as the short sword in the hands of the chief of the race who had fought with her at the top of the Heart Cultivation Palace.

However, in general, the harvest was not satisfactory: although the material of these weapons was not inferior to the Blood Knife, they did not have the special experience of the Blood Knife, so the Qi of Jin Xing was not born.

However, the Honghua Society people who came all the way back to Xinjiang brought the Hui sword used by Princess Xiangxiang to commit suicide. This sword is extremely sharp, and the material is especially on the blood knife, with a glowing purple light at the edge.

Zhao Qing didn't know what kind of special metal this purple light was emitting, maybe it was the kind of material of Ziwei soft sword, but it was much less in quantity.

All in all, this sword relied on a material that seemed to be better than ordinary dark iron, and gave birth to a total of three wisps of golden qi, which was three times that of the blood knife, which was an unexpected gain.

Of course, these are a thing of the past. After absorbing the golden qi of the short sword and reading the secrets collected by the imperial court, Zhao Qing is now focusing on the study of Buddhism and Taoism, hoping to find inspiration for integrating all kinds of martial arts.

Now, the book that Zhao Qing is reading at the edge of the city is one of the Taoist collections.

At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, Huang Shang read all 5,481 volumes of "Wanshou Daozang", learned from his own teacher, and realized profound martial arts.

Although Zhao Qing's reading time is far shorter than his, and he is far from his cultural level as a champion, after all, he has superior martial arts and martial arts as the foundation, and he still has a lot of creative insights.

Vaguely, a more advanced internal skill based on Shenzhao Gong gradually took shape.

……

A few days later, the World Martial Arts Conference jointly organized by many of the world's top masters and government forces was officially held.

Before the end of the year, thousands of heroes of all ages have gathered around the high platform in the middle of the school field. The group of heroes gathered, Xun is a grand event, many mountains and forests that have rarely walked on the rivers and lakes have also appeared at this time.

Martial arts people from all over the country sat on chairs to watch the ceremony according to the tunnel area, surrounded by high platforms in the southeast, northwest and northwest.

Ding Dian, Lu Tianshu, Shui Dai, as well as the two top masters of the North Four Monsters and the Shaolin Temple, all came to the scene. Di Yun and Qi Fang also came to sit under a tent, and they decided to return to their hometown together after the conference, and no longer involved in the major affairs of the rivers and lakes.

Under a shed in the north direction, Zhao Qing looked at the noisy rivers and lakes in the distance, and his heart was full of ancient wells. In fact, after absorbing a large number of high-grade martial arts, it is extremely rare for a master in the world to be able to benefit her.

Her expectations for this martial arts competition are more to be inspired by witnessing the competition and further improve the prototype of her own exercises.

Three drums sounded in the distance, and the hour had come. Zhao Qing took up his light skills, floated to the edge of the high platform like a light swallow, stood on his feet, rose from the ground, and jumped to the top of the flagpole of a giant flag standing on the high platform.

I saw that the flagpole only sank slightly, and then fixed in place, without the slightest shaking and undulation. The ordinary good players in the audience didn't know the difficulty of this jump, but Lu Tianshu, Shui Dai and other masters were greatly admired, and they couldn't help but cheer.

Zhao Qing glanced at everyone in the audience, smiled slightly, and said: "This world martial arts competition is a grand occasion that is rare in a hundred years in the martial arts. In addition to a few predecessors and masters, the heroes of the world are all here. ”

"I, Zhao Qing, convened this grand event, not only to promote my long-standing Chinese martial arts, but also to compile a "Weapon Spectrum" that describes the ranking of the world's masters, so that all heroes and heroes can leave their names for future generations."

The first unenlightened Zen master of Shaolin Dharma Hall is a white-haired old monk, hearing this, he took the initiative to echo:

"What Zhao Shizhu said is good, the reason why people in the rivers and lakes of my generation practice martial arts is for fame and fortune. And such a "Weapon Spectrum" really solves the problem of names.

Unenlightened and lucky, his voice was loud: "Through the point-to-point competition, the world's martial arts rankings are discharged, so as to become famous in the world and pass on to future generations, which is the most reasonable way." ”

"Also, listen to the advice of the old man, if you have any problems with each other, it is best not to break off on this stage, so as not to violate the original intention of this conference."

What is the original intention? Isn't it for the treasures of the city? Some people think so.

There are also a considerable number of people who think that since the imperial court participated in the convening of the martial arts competition, they will definitely not allow the treasure to be left behind, and they are only thinking about how to show their skills before thousands of heroes.

The glory of "leaving a name for posterity" really stirred up a fighting spirit in their hearts. You must know that even the top masters of each era may not be able to leave their names for future generations, and it only takes more than a hundred years of hard work to be forgotten by the rivers and lakes.

For example, when asked about the famous masters in the early Qing Dynasty, basically only the forces with a long heritage can answer the question of what the rivers and lakes are, and it is quite rare for ordinary people in the rivers and lakes to be able to say Chen Jinnan's name.

Therefore, it seems that the "Weapon Spectrum", which has the endorsement of the imperial court, is indeed the hope of most Jianghu people to leave a name for future generations.
