Chapter 21 The gossip step recalls the old things, and the nine palaces fight against the fierce enemy

03

Let's say that Liu Qing moved with his thoughts, raised his hand with a sword, and stabbed at Zhong Zheng crookedly, clearly exposing the empty door under his right breast. Zhong Zheng was stunned for a moment: "What kind of trick is this?" and then pointed at Liu Qing's soft underbelly. Unexpectedly, Liu Qing's body flickered, and he didn't wait for the blades to intersect, calmly avoided it, and kicked his lower abdomen with his flying feet, and at the same time revealed his flaws in the lower plate.

After going back and forth, Zhong Zheng saw that Liu Qing's moves were not only completely different from before, but also full of loopholes, and he didn't know what to do for a while———— if there were too many flaws, wouldn't it mean that there were no flaws? In this situation, the power of the "Longhua Swordsmanship" could not be brought into full play.

Zhong Zheng was surprised, and secretly took a breath, and changed to the "Taiyi Xuanmen Sword" to make a few moves to test the reality and reality. Unexpectedly, Liu Qing dealt with it generally, no matter what kind of sword moves Zhong Zheng used, he was indifferent, and just sold his flaws.

After a while, Liu Qing's swordsmanship became even more erratic, sometimes like a drunken man dancing a sword, upside down, and sometimes like a person who had not learned martial arts, slashing and swinging, with no rules to speak of. Zhong Zheng was unexpected, he had never seen such a style of play, and he couldn't help but be secretly surprised: "Is he crazy? This kind of unelegant skill can be calmly resolved by my junior brothers and disciples in the audience." But after a few moves, he couldn't crack this "unstructured move", not only that, Zhong Zheng actually felt that the direction of his sword could be perceived by Liu Qing, and the opportunity was taken away, but he was at a disadvantage.

opened the skylight and said something bright, in fact, Liu Qing was just using the flaw he deliberately created: the flaw of selling was like a trap to lure the other party into a "trap", since he knew the landing point of Zhong Zheng's next sword————, he could expect the enemy to attack him first, so as to gain the upper hand. Liu Qing's current swordsmanship seems to be crazy and impermanent, without rules, but it is just an "illusion", one to confuse the opponent, the other is to save internal force, the surface is chaotic, but in fact it is tangible, the external appearance of the move is changed and rendered, and its dross is discarded, but the actual intrinsic and purpose of the move is retained, and its essence is taken. Otherwise, such a puppet-like behavior would have been a complete failure.

This strategy can be described as a strategy to break the kettle and win in danger, and only people like Liu Qing, who are flying, good at change, and have great courage, can come up with it and put it into practice. If Zhong Zheng sees the method, is not confused by the illusion you deliberately create, analyzes the specific problems in detail, gives up the martial arts routine of "attacking its flaws", and adapts to the situation, then Liu Qing will really be exhausted and unable to deal with it.

However, Zhong Zheng's temperament is very different from Liu Qing, although he has excellent roots and talents, and is a good material for martial arts, but he is calm by nature, decent, and even not good at changing, rigid and stiff. Therefore, although Zhong Zheng's martial arts are high, his character has created a very obvious and insurmountable shortcoming in his martial arts development———— a person's character can indeed affect many aspects.

Perhaps it was because Liu Qing discovered Zhong Zheng's weakness in the process of fighting, so he decided to use this strategy.

_______________________________________________

Let's say that the authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear, and the disciples of Wudang Group see that the master brother has a martial arts, but he can't use his methods, and he is frequently subject to outsiders, so he is inevitably anxious. Although a few clever disciples saw the way, they were not easy to interfere with. But seeing that the situation was getting more and more unfavorable, he had to remind the senior brother on the side.

I saw a middle-aged disciple with a scorched yellow face and a shriveled face and said lightly to the person next to him: "Senior brother, do you remember what we saw in Crow Ridge yesterday?" The speaker was Geng Mingtong, the second disciple of the Wudang faction. The Wudang faction takes the entry order as the seniority, rather than the age as the humility, so although Geng Mingtong is more than forty, he is still Zhong Zheng's junior brother.

The Wudang faction has been established for a hundred years, and it has been passed down to this day, divided into two branches according to generations, with the same origin and the same origin, one is "Spirit, Dust, Clear, and Yi", and the other is "Ginseng, Wind, Ming, and Tai". Zhong is the disciple of the head of Wudang, "Qimen Dunjia", so he is the descendant of the word "Qing", and the Taoist name is Zhong Qingzi; Geng Mingtong is the disciple of the first "Qiankun Bagua" in Wudang to return to the Fengdao people, so he is the descendant of the word "Ming", and the Taoist name Geng Mingzi. Geng Mingtong is old and wise, experienced in handling things, and has been assigned to other sects all the year round, and has a lot of experience in the rivers and lakes, which is not comparable to ordinary young disciples.

The person who talked to Geng Mingtong was also a disciple of the "Ming" generation, named Cui Mingrui. He is not very famous in the rivers and lakes, so he has no nickname, but he is smart and witty, eccentric, and deeply loved by his master and all his brothers. At this moment, when he heard the second senior brother mention the crows on Crow Ridge, he immediately understood it and understood the intention of his words. I only heard Cui Mingrui say: "Ahem, don't mention it! Yesterday, the two of us went to feed the crows, and one of the crows squeaked and screamed, flapping its wings vigorously, blindly pleasing us, and wanting to get more food to eat." Geng Mingtong smiled and said: "Yes, let it play all kinds of tricks and sell jokes, but if we ignore it, it will not achieve its goal." After a pause, he raised his voice slightly, and continued: "Just ignore his routine and jump out of the routine, he will have no choice!" The crow is the sacred bird of Wudang Mountain, and the crow eating is one of the wonders of Wudang. The two seem to be casually chatting and gossiping, but they are actually giving advice to the elder brother.

Zhong Zheng has a strong internal strength, so he can naturally hear their chatter and know the message they want to convey, but it is difficult for him to break through the old concepts and realize unconventional innovation———— seeing that the other party has a big flaw, if he doesn't attack here, where can he attack?

In desperation, Zhong Zheng picked up the "Yin and Yang True Scripture" again, and once again performed the "Sixty-four Hexagram Lost Steps", aiming to consume Liu Qing's physical strength, thinking that as long as he dragged on for a while, he would be exhausted.

Unexpectedly, Liu Qing laughed and said, "Brother Zhong, this time it won't work." Nine palaces, two or four for the shoulder, six or eight for the foot, three on the left and seven on the right, wearing nine shoes one, five in the center. "Let's take the position of the "Middle Palace" and never move. The Wudang group of disciples were surprised and secretly complained.

Therefore, according to the old legend, the "Three Sages of Yi Geng" ———— Fuxi founded the Taiji Bagua, which was called the "Congenital Bagua" in later generations; when King Wen of Zhou was imprisoned in prison, he evolved into 64 trigrams based on the "Fuxi Bagua", which was called "the acquired Bagua" in later generations; Confucius carried forward the essence of Yi Xue, expounded the "Book of Changes" according to his own opinions, added notes and modified it, and made it famous all over the world, so the "Book of Changes" had the reputation of "the head of the group of scriptures, the source of the avenue".

Qimen Dunjia is one of the secret techniques that are easy to learn, with "the day after tomorrow gossip", "nine palaces", "Luoshu", "twenty-four solar terms", "time, space, number" constitute the basic pattern structure, for the "Qimen", "Liuren", "Taiyi" three styles of the first———— "Qi" is called the three odds, that is, "B, C, D"; "Gate" refers to the eight gates, that is, "open, rest, life, injury, Du, Jing, death, shock"; Dunjia, then refers to the first escape into the six instruments of Liujia, that is, "Wu, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren, Gui", the three strange six instruments, divided into nine palaces, and the first to unify it, depending on its addition to the auspicious evil, to avoid, so it is called "Dunjia". It is said that "Qimen Dunjia" was founded with a total of 4,096 bureaus, later changed to 1,000 and 80 bureaus, Jiang Taigong due to the need for marching formations, compressed into 72 bureaus, after the Han Dynasty Zhang Liangde "the old man on the wall" Huang Shigong taught, reformed again, and became the current use of Yin Dun Nine Bureau, Yang Dun Nine Bureau, a total of 18 bureaus, unpredictable.

Since the nickname of the rivers and lakes is "Qimen Dunjia", its attainments are self-evident. And Zhong Zheng's "Sixty-four Hexagram Lost Steps", which is based on the "Eight Trigrams of King Wen Houtian" evolved, is an extremely advanced martial arts skill, which requires the corresponding superior mental method to cooperate, especially pay attention to the direction of the tricky, in the midst of change, if the sixty-four hexagrams take a wrong step, they will be blocked in the internal breath, the blood and qi are not smooth, and even the pulse is disordered, but suffer from it.

"Nine Palaces" and "Bagua" complement each other, and in the interpretation of graphics, they even form each other's surface and interior, and together form the matrix of Qimen Dunjia. Therefore, in order to restrain the "64 hexagrams", we must start with the "Nine Palaces".

The reason why Liu Qing thought of using the "Nine Palaces" to crack the "Bagua" was because he had been taught by the teacher Huang Lao, and he was more familiar with the "Book of Changes", so he naturally associated it; The Nine Palaces represent the land in Qimen Dunjia, and it is the only plate that does not move, and it is a mountain. I just had to stand still so that he could not step into the right direction, and he would have nothing to do. The sixty-four hexagrams have many changes and are more complicated, but the nine palaces only have nine grids, which are easy to control. Shu Tu Hai Shui, Kan Gong Zi Shui, Gen Gong Chou Tu Yin Mu, Zhen Gong Mao Mu, Xun Gong Chen Tu Si Huo, Ligong Noon Fire, Kun Gong Wei Tu Shen Jin, Hui Gong Youjin. The middle palace does not enter the earthly branch, I first occupy the 'middle' palace, and then go to the 'dui' palace, 'kun' palace, 'leave' palace, 'Xun' palace, 'Zhen' palace, 'Gen' palace, 'Kan' palace, 'Qian' palace, against the five elements, go the opposite way, see what he do!" Thinking of this, Liu Qing turned around and went to the position of the middle palace, while selling flaws, while grabbing land, only moving in the nine palaces, never moving a step.

Zhong Zheng was very surprised, and said in his heart: "He actually walked backwards in the Nine Palaces, went against the law of the Five Elements, and occupied the place where I must stay!"

In normal times, Zhong Zhengyuan does not need to seize the position with Liu Qing, he only needs to expand outward and use a gap. But although the venue of Nanyan Baxiantai is not small, the scope is limited after all, if you get out of the ring, then this competition will be lost.

But the more anxious Zhong Zheng became, the more he fell into Liu Qing's trap, unable to think calmly, get rid of the martial arts stereotype of "attacking his flaws", and forced Liu Qing out of the Nine Palaces. Seeing that the "Sixty-four Hexagram Lost Steps" could be walked all over the place, and he had to step into the Nine Palaces, Zhong Zheng was even more anxious, and he forgot the truth that he could not perform the Lost Steps. The disciples of Wudang Group opened their mouths, and even Geng Mingtong, who was well-informed and resourceful, opened his mouth wide, never expected that this young man would be so witty and come up with such a useful method———— this kind of "selling flaws" and "doing the opposite" martial arts innovation is really unseen in his life, and it turns out that kung fu can still be done like this.

In fact, the two have already fought more than 100 moves, and their physical strength has been consumed a lot, and Zhong Zheng was even more anxious by Liu Qing's cleverness.

There was anger in his heart, and the swordsmanship deviated from the purpose of the Wudang faction of "seeking victory in stability". Liu Qing saw it in his eyes and was happy in his heart: "The opportunity has come!" revealing the flaw in his left rib. At this time, Zhong Zheng has been depressed for a long time, his heart is irritable, and he clapped his hands without thinking, Liu Qing used his internal force, raised his palms to greet him, and "touched" a sound, the two of them slapped each other, Liu Qing stumbled under his feet, pretending to be invincible, and rushed out backwards with his strength, fleeing in defeat, and at the same time observing the distance from Zhong Zheng with his residual vision. Zhong Zheng chased after him without hesitation. Liu Qing measured the distance and calculated the angle, and finally used the most proud trick———— returning to the wind and dancing willows!

The so-called trick is a blow that works and cannot be used lightly. The sword move of "Returning to the Wind and Dancing Willows" is equivalent to the "return to the horse gun" in marksmanship, and the "killer move" in the method of gong, which pays attention to disturbing the enemy's mind in advance, confusing the opponent, creating the illusion of invincibility, and then striking a surprise blow. It was precisely with this unparalleled "Returning Wind Dancing Willow" that Liu Qing easily defeated the "wandering swordsman" Xie Wuchang, and Yu Qingfeng, the head of the Diancang faction———— said that Liu Qing was constantly selling flaws and creating illusions, was he preparing for the final desperate gamble?

Zhong Zheng only felt a flower in front of him, and before he could react, he felt that Liu Qing's broken sword was on his neck, and he was stunned. Liu Qing flipped his wrist, the tip of his sword pointed downward, hugged his fists and smiled: "Brother Zhong, accept it." "Zhong Zheng's lifeline is controlled by others, and he obviously loses.

Although Liu Qing won a fluke, one did not use poison, two did not use hidden weapons, and three did not win with more, but fought hard with real kung fu and real wisdom, won beautifully, and was bright and fair, there is nothing to say———— the so-called battle of wits and courage, resourcefulness is a very important aspect.

Zhong Zheng calmed down, then sighed and calmed down. Although he was unwilling, he also lost his demeanor, and said with a smile: "Brother Liu is both wise and brave, and he is young and promising, Zhong is not your opponent." He shook his head and sighed again: "I thought that my kung fu to cultivate my mind and qi was quite hot, but it seems that my cultivation is still shallow, and my learning skills are not proficient, and I need to devote myself to studying this martial arts in the future, and work hard for the benefit of the rivers and lakes." Brother Liu is a fellow practitioner, a good friend, a good opponent, a good brother, if he has the opportunity in the future, he will definitely ask you for advice. "Say goodbye, clench your fists and salute back.

Liu Qing hurriedly said, "Brother Zhong is humble. The younger brother knows that he is not Brother Zhong's opponent, but I just played some clever tricks by chance. If it was a real knife and a real gun comparison, I really couldn't do it. Suddenly remembering something, he patted his injured left arm, and said: "No, when the palm is just right, if it weren't for Brother Zhong's mercy, the little brother would be in trouble." Thinking of the situation of competing for internal strength just now, I actually felt that Zhong Zheng's internal strength was quite loose and difficult to concentrate, which was definitely not his original cultivation. It felt like he hadn't healed from a previous injury. However, the situation was urgent at that time, and Liu Qing was only vaguely aware of it, but he didn't pay much attention to it, only because his "sixty-four hexagram maze steps" did not go well, which caused the reason for the impurity of internal breath.

After the two talked, Liu Qing made a square gesture to the audience and saluted the disciples of Wudang Group. A group of Wudang disciples have already admired Liu Qing very much, and they all got up to return the salute, and then returned to the main hall to entertain Liu Qing and bandage his wounds. As for what happened after Liu Qing went down the mountain, I won't mention it for the time being.

_______________________________________________

"Hey, what are you doing?" a loud shout stopped Liu Qing's memories and pulled him into reality. I saw that the white-faced boy had already deceived him, frowned and said: "Absent-mindedness is a taboo in martial arts, if you change someone else and take advantage of the situation to sneak attack, do you still have your life?" Liu Qing saw that the footwork he performed was similar to Zhong Zheng, and he thought that he had some origins, and it was estimated that he was also a famous family, and he thought of the "left and right fighting technique" made by the purple-faced man It is also the martial arts of the Taoist school, and the two of them are even more commensurate with their brothers, so they speculated their origins to be inseparable, and saw that although they were abrupt, they did not mean to hurt themselves, so they were more relieved and asked: "Please consult the two sects?" Liu Qing was tasked, he didn't want to cause conflicts, cause trouble, and his thoughts were like springs, and he recalled many old things, and now he has no thoughts and no need to compare with them.

Unexpectedly, the white-faced boy said, "We still want to ask you." Your 'left-right fighting technique' is very handsome, but who did you learn it from?" Liu Qing didn't answer, and continued to ask: "Did the two of you come to Luoyang on the orders of your master......? The Taishan faction really lives up to its reputation, has the morality of the rivers and lakes, stresses the responsibility of martial arts, and can afford the admiration of the heroes of the world, look at the two who are not very old, but the second generation of disciples in the faction?" The purple-faced man exclaimed: "Senior brother, how does he know that we are from the Taishan faction?" The white-faced boy glared at him and said, "As soon as people say it casually, you will admit it yourself." What kind of environment is it now, how can you easily reveal your identity?" Liu Qing couldn't help laughing, and said in her heart: "Haven't you revealed enough?"

The purple-faced man was an anxious man, and said urgently: "Tell me quickly, how did you find out?" Liu Qing heard him say this, and knew that he had expected it, and thought: "This purple-faced man also has no city government." Then he said very implicitly: "The Taoist kung fu of the two has been truly transmitted." Liu Qing's sentence can be described as a pun, and it deserves to be beautiful: one praises their martial arts, and the other shows that it is guessed based on their martial arts, which is very euphemistic.

The white-faced boy intercepted and said: "So what? There are countless Taoist temples in the world, and there are many sects, why can't Your Excellency just guess the Taishan sect? As for Wudang, Kongtong, and Qingcheng, these are all Taoist sects. ”

Liu Qing smiled and said, "Listening to your accent, it is obvious that you are a native of the Qilu area, and the accent is completely different from that of Gansu and Sichuan, how can you be a disciple of Kongtong and Qingcheng? As for the Wudang faction, it is even more impossible......" The white-faced boy wondered: "Why is it impossible?"

Exactly: use tactics to win victories, and solve problems together with Taoist friends. I don't know Liu Qing's answer, it's hard to predict tomorrow's danger, and look at the next decomposition.
