After the interlude, life on Wudang Mountain returned to peace.

Meng Xiuyuan, on the other hand, was immersed in his martial arts cultivation.

After all, for him, when he was questioned by his master Zhang Sanfeng more than ten years ago, the ideal vow of "climbing the peak of martial arts" was never just talking.

Even if his martial arts at this time can be regarded as a complete achievement, except for his master Zhang Sanfeng, there is no opponent in this world who can beat him one-on-one.

But he still has great enthusiasm for the improvement of martial arts.

It's not to be in a hurry to defeat anyone or improve how much combat effectiveness, but as a traverser, Meng Xiuyuan knows that since things like true qi and internal force can come true, who said it well, will there be a next step?

Although Meng Xiuyuan also tried to arrange Hu Qingniu, Zhu Yuanzhang and others, for him, these were just idle chess. The real effort still has to be on yourself.

For more than two months, although Meng Xiuyuan's kung fu has not changed qualitatively, he can indeed feel that he is still making slow progress and has not completely stagnated.

This is already excellent news for Meng Xiuyuan's realm at this time.

And another gratifying thing is that his master Zhang Zhenren is finally out of the customs again at this time.

……

"Master, what have you learned from this retreat, and have you gained a lot?"

Between Meng Xiuyuan and Zhang Sanfeng, there was no need for those polite words. Therefore, as soon as Meng Xiuyuan pushed the door in, he asked with a smile towards the master.

Zhang Sanfeng hadn't seen Meng Xiuyuan for a long time, and when he suddenly appeared in front of him, he was naturally happy, and a kind smile unconsciously appeared on his face.

However, he didn't answer Meng Xiuyuan's words immediately, but slowly stood up and put on a posture.

I saw Zhang Zhenren's hands hanging down, the back of his hand outward, his fingers slightly relaxed, his feet separated and parallel, and then his arms were slowly lifted to his chest, his left arm was half ringed, his palm and his face were turned into a yin palm, and his right palm was turned over into a yang palm.

Meng Xiuyuan's eyes lit up when he saw him move like this, because this action was really very similar to the starting style of Taijiquan that was handed down in later generations.

The difference is that this action is done by Zhang Sanfeng, which makes people only feel natural and flawless.

"Master, your punch has finally been completed?!"

Zhang Sanfeng shook his head with a smile and said:

"Not yet, it's just a thought.

If we really want to create a complete martial art from this, it will take a lot of time, and we can't be in a hurry."

When Meng Xiuyuan heard this, he knew that Zhang Sanfeng was modest, and he was still very happy for his master.

Because for a great master of Zhang Sanfeng's realm, the so-called "grasping an idea" is actually the most critical step.

This is a breakout between 0 and 1.

In the future, it is just a continuation of this idea, carefully arranging the details between one move and one formula.

I think that in less than two or three years at most, this set of martial arts of the "Tai Chi" series will be born, which is a little faster than the original timeline.

Zhang Sanfeng himself naturally understands this truth better, so after he came out of the customs this time, he was obviously in a very good mood, and he was also very much looking forward to this kung fu that condensed the essence of his life's martial arts.

Looking at it like that, it should only be a short break for ten days and half a month to soothe and relax, and then I have to go into retreat again and continue to study.

However, at this time, he didn't want to continue to talk about this kung fu issue, but preferred to talk to Meng Xiuyuan about some daily trivial matters:

"Don't always talk about me, talk about yourself.

What have you done lately, and are you still doing well?"

With that, Zhang Sanfeng pulled Meng Xiuyuan to sit down together, and asked the little Taoist boy outside the door to make tea for the two.

Seeing this, Meng Xiu naturally knew that Master wanted to pull him to chat for a while, so he was not in a hurry, and just slowly talked about everything since Master's last retreat.

During the period, when he mentioned that he went down the mountain to pass on martial arts, win the Dragon King, save the medical immortals, etc., Zhang Sanfeng just sat on the side and listened silently with a smile, occasionally nodding

head, it can be regarded as a sign of approval and praise for his good job.

But after he finished saying this, Zhang Sanfeng seemed to be a little dissatisfied, and took the initiative to ask him:

"What about Miss Yang from the Tomb Sect, didn't you stop by to see her when you went down the mountain this time?"

Meng Xiuyuan smiled helplessly when he heard this, and secretly said that this old man looked at the fairy wind and bones, and he had a lot of things to worry about, so he had to roughly tell Zhang Sanfeng about the letter sent by the old woman of the ancient tomb faction and the fact that Miss Yang said that they could not see each other for the time being.

When Zhang Sanfeng heard this, his white eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he was silent for a moment before he gently asked Meng Xiuyuan again:

"Xiuyuan, there is no fixed number of people and things in this Jianghu.

It's not that whoever meets someone first will have to wait for her for the rest of his life.

The age at which you are about to be crowned is the best time of your life.

If you meet other girls you like, don't delay because of this.

It doesn't hurt to try more."

"Master......

Meng Xiuyuan was very surprised when he heard this, although he was close to Zhang Sanfeng, he had never heard him talk about feelings so bluntly, so he couldn't react for a while.

When Zhang Sanfeng saw him like this, he mistakenly thought that he couldn't let go of that Yang girl, shook his head secretly, and said slowly:

"Lao Dao, I'm over 100 years old, and I should have figured out everything in my life.

But maybe it's because I haven't practiced enough, and I'm still a little greedy for two things after all.

The first is martial arts, I want to create a unique art that is completely different from the way of self-martial arts, so that my Wudang faction will be famous for eternity. Now it seems that I have touched the edge, about the same.

The second is that you junior disciples, I hope to see you live a full life one by one before leaving......

At this point, Zhang Sanfeng didn't say any more, but just patted Meng Xiuyuan's hand lovingly.

When Meng Xiuyuan heard this, he naturally understood the meaning of Zhang Sanfeng's "urging marriage".

Listening to what the master said so seriously, thinking back on the master's life, I understood that what he said was all heartfelt words from his own feelings, so he didn't dare to hesitate anymore, and hurriedly stood up and solemnly responded to Zhang Sanfeng:

"Master, don't worry, I will keep your words in mind and dare not disobey them."

"Okay." Seeing Meng Xiuyuan like this, Zhang Sanfeng couldn't help but feel relieved, and a relieved smile appeared on his face.

……

After chatting about the topic of life, and turning to martial arts, the words of the master and apprentice gradually relaxed a lot.

And maybe I haven't seen Meng Xiuyuan for a long time, today's Zhang Sanfeng is booming.

"That's right, Xiuyuan. What progress has you made with the idea of "compressing true qi" that you mentioned to me last time?" Zhang Sanfeng put down the teacup and asked Meng Xiuyuan.

When Meng Xiuyuan heard this, he shook his head with a wry smile:

"I've tried many times, but it didn't work.

Maybe it's because I've been using the Body Strengthening Technique to temper my body, and my true qi hasn't been completely fully stored."

Speaking of this, Meng Xiuyuan couldn't help but look at Zhang Sanfeng with some anticipation, and asked him:

"Master, what about you, have you gained anything?"

Over the years, Meng Xiuyuan has been thinking about how to go further when his true qi is full of dantian and the upper and lower meridians of his body are roughly opened.

"True Qi Compression Liquefaction", a way that everyone often mentioned in his previous life, he naturally did not hesitate to try it.

It's a pity that this step to break through the common sense of traditional martial arts is not so easy to take.

At least he himself didn't try to make a name for himself for the time being, so he had to pin his hopes on his master Zhang Zhenren.

Zhang Sanfeng also shook his head slightly, and said:

"This idea of yours sounds like some truth, but I've tried for a long time, and although I've somehow researched some ways, it's still far from the level you want to achieve."

Meng Xiuyuan was not disappointed when he heard this, but was very happy.

This is just an attempt to say it casually, Master Zhang Zhen

It is a complete surprise that people can "study some ways".

"What kind of way, Master, tell me about it." Meng Xiuyuan asked impatiently.

Seeing him like this, Zhang Sanfeng smiled slightly, didn't answer, and pushed open the door and walked out. Seeing this, Meng Xiu hurriedly followed.

In the small courtyard, I saw that after Master Zhang Zhenren stood still, he slowly closed his eyes, and there was no movement for a while.

It wasn't until a moment later that he took a deep breath and his face changed slightly. Suddenly raised his right hand and pointed forward diagonally, and saw a small pothole immediately exploded on the ground three feet away, and the masonry and soil were splashed and flew in all directions.

Seeing this, Meng Xiu's eyes suddenly lit up.

You must know that although Zhang Sanfeng's martial arts are world-renowned and he is a great master of the past and the present, his real strength lies in his understanding of martial arts philosophy. In terms of internal cultivation alone, he was already slightly inferior to Meng Xiuyuan at this time.

And just now, the finger power of his "One Yang Finger" obviously has no room for tricks, but it is a little more powerful than ordinary, but it is stronger than Meng Xiuyuan can do.

Obviously, the "doorway" that Zhang Sanfeng said is in this finger.

It's just that before Meng Xiuyuan was happy, he turned around and saw that Zhang Sanfeng's face was wrong, and his arms were a little trembling. Meng Xiuyuan hurriedly rushed forward and asked with concern:

"Master, what's the matter, is it using this method of compressing true qi that will harm the body?"

Zhang Sanfeng took a deep breath, calmed down slightly, and then nodded slightly:

"This method is more violent than the 'Zixiao Sword Qi', and it is indeed extremely stressful in the meridians and viscera.

For someone my age, even a few more attempts are a bit unbearable, and it can be described as a dead end.

However, if you are so young and have "Fitness" to strengthen your body, you may be able to try to continue and optimize it to break through the existing shackles.

It's just that when you practice by yourself in the future, you have to be more careful, don't force yourself and hurt your body......

Although Zhang Sanfeng was obviously weak at this time, he still did not forget to take this opportunity to seriously warn.

When Meng Xiuyuan heard this, he couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart, and he gritted his teeth and couldn't speak for a while.

You know, Master was able to study such a method, obviously after more than one attempt.

And if he is so fierce every time, then I don't know how much pain he has suffered and how many dark wounds he has left in the process.

"Master!"

When Meng Xiuyuan came back to his senses, he couldn't help shouting, and then hurriedly held Zhang Sanfeng's hand, and used the method of [Healing] to cross his true qi to help Zhang Sanfeng calm the injuries in the meridians in his body.

Sure enough, as the true qi ran around Zhang Sanfeng's body, he could see that his meridians, which should have been tenacious and unimpeded, were actually covered with so many broken and injured places.

Although these injuries are not serious, and they are all getting better under Zhang Sanfeng's true temperature, the combination of new and old injuries is still shocking.

At this time, Meng Xiuyuan blamed himself and regretted in his heart, he never thought that in order to study kung fu for himself, he would cause his master to suffer such an injury.

Zhang Sanfeng has lived for a hundred years, so he naturally saw through Meng Xiuyuan's thoughts at a glance, and then took the initiative to comfort him:

"Xiuyuan, don't think about it.

Isn't it commonplace for us martial arts practitioners to hone our martial arts and get some injuries.

I often live on this Wudang Mountain, and I don't compete with others, this meridian is a little injured, and it will be fine if I recuperate for a little time.

It's not a terminal disease that hurts the muscles and bones and can't be cured, I don't care what it does."

When Meng Xiuyuan heard this, his heart became more and more uncomfortable.

He lowered his head and didn't talk to his master Zhang Zhenren, but desperately poured the true qi in his body into Zhang Sanfeng, as if he wanted to take advantage of this to heal all the injuries in his master's meridians overnight.

Zhang Sanfeng felt the pure yang true qi coming from the palm of his hand, smiled with relief on his face, and did not refuse Meng Xiuyuan's kindness, but just patted Meng Xiuyuan's shoulder with his other hand, and said softly:

"Xiuyuan, your inner cultivation has indeed been exceeded

It's been a teacher.

It's just a kid in his weak years, it's really good, it's good."

"Master......

Meng Xiuyuan heard that Zhang Sanfeng was still praising him at this time, and couldn't help but have mixed feelings in his heart, and hurriedly raised his head and looked at the master again, but there was still a look of shame on his face.

Seeing him like this, Zhang Sanfeng's smile became more and more abundant, and then said:

"Before you go up the mountain, I always think about who will be able to fully inherit my mantle on this Wudang Mountain after I go.

Thinking about it, it is that your fifth senior brother has the highest understanding, and he is both civil and military, and with more guidance, he may have some achievements.

But after all, I can learn a few percent, and I don't have a complete grasp of it.

But I didn't expect that in the twilight of my life, I would accept such a disciple as you.

At a young age, he is already blue."

Meng Xiuyuan was frightened when he heard this, and hurriedly shook his head, just about to say something, but it was Zhang Sanfeng who opened his mouth first:

"I know what you want to say, but you don't have to explain.

In fact, when you put forward the idea of "compressing true qi", I knew that along the way of martial arts, we had parted ways and embarked on two different forks in the road.

It's not about who is right and who is wrong, but according to our different situations, it is indeed more suitable for different paths.

The reason why I was in a hurry to help you find the method of "compressing true qi", and even caused some injuries to my meridians, was because I felt that this was the last thing I could do for you, and I must do it as well as possible.

If you go further down this road, you can only rely on yourself."

Hearing this, Meng Xiuyuan didn't want to speak anymore, but just slowly withdrew the true qi in Zhang Sanfeng's body, and then gently hugged the master's body with both hands.

With such a teacher's kindness, I am afraid that it will be difficult to repay it in this life.

Words of gratitude do not have to be spoken.

Keep it in your heart.
