Chapter 58: The Legend of Martial Arts
“...... Too, too master?"
Peng Rou's voice trembled a little, nine points of excitement mixed with one point of disbelief.
"General, do you know this senior?" Cheng Kun was a little surprised.
Peng Rou took a deep breath, "If I'm not mistaken, he should be my Xuanyiguan Taishi Ancestor Feng Xiaochen, this Taishi Ancestor is a legendary figure of my Great Chu Wulin, when I started, the Taishi Ancestor was already gone, and I only saw his portrait in the ancestral hall of the sect." ”
Cheng Kun noticed that Zhu Yan's mood was a little wrong after entering this cave, and the eyes he looked at this Feng Xiaochen's predecessor revealed obvious admiration, as if it was the feeling of a drooping boy facing his relatives.
Cheng Kun's heart moved, and he immediately understood that he and General Peng were able to survive this time because of the blessing of this senior.
Indeed, since Zhu Yan didn't care about the other dozens of people in the Dingshan Army, he just brought him and Peng Rou back, which means that there must be some kind of common ground between the two.
In fact, this journey Kun has been thinking about this problem, but he is puzzled. Now that I think about it, there is only one reason, that is, they have all cultivated the martial arts of Xuanyiguan.
Needless to say, Peng Rou is an authentic descendant of Xuanyiguan. Cheng Kun himself has also practiced the Xuan Jue, although this exercise is only a minor technique for foundation building, but it has been imperceptibly improving Cheng Kun's strength.
Each subtle martial art actually has an impact on the practitioner's qiyun, and the longer you practice, the more profound the comprehension, the more obvious this influence will be.
As a strange beast from the heart of heaven and earth, Zhu Yan's perception of this kind of aura is very keen. This is also the reason behind Zhu's strange behavior.
After understanding that he had inadvertently received the favor of this Feng senior, Cheng Kun respected him even more. He respectfully bowed three times to the corpse of the old-timer, and Peng Rou simply knelt down:
"The ancestor is above, and Peng Rou, the fourth-generation descendant of Xuanyiguan, has kowtowed to your old man. As soon as the words fell, there were simply three rings.
Feng Xiaochen sat cross-legged on the bed like this, his face facing Peng Rou who was kneeling on the ground, if he hadn't closed his eyes, he would be no different from a living person at all.
Cheng Kun seemed to see him smiling, and after a hundred years of time, he could see that the inheritance of the sect was becoming more and more prosperous, and he must be very pleased that this old-timer Jiuquan would be very pleased.
To Cheng Kun's great surprise, after Zhu Yan saw Peng Rou's movements, he actually learned to let her fall on all fours, and nodded her head down three times. And Cheng Kun can see that this is not the first time that this Zhu Yan has done this.
After doing these actions, Zhu Yan got up and left, and after a while, the two black apes wrapped some fruits in banana leaves and sent them in, apparently as food for the two. After placing the banana leaves on the stone table, the two black apes immediately left, not daring to stay in the cave for too long.
There are only two people left in the cave, Cheng Kun and Peng Rou.
Neither of them wanted to offend Senior Feng, and after finding a clean place to sit down, Cheng Kun couldn't help but ask curiously: "General, can you tell me about this Senior Feng, I don't know much about these martial arts matters." ”
Peng Rou casually brushed aside a few strands of broken hair on her cheeks and whispered:
"I don't know much about it, and I basically hear about it from my brothers and sisters. Feng Taishi ancestor is the most proud disciple of my Xuanyiguan ancestor, at that time Xuanyiguan was not as prosperous as it is now, especially when the first emperor was alive, he once burned books under the proposal of Prime Minister Li Si, before many sects were forcibly asked by the first emperor to go to the door of the classics, and they were all burned in that accident, because this matter does not know how many unlearned people were lost, and the martial arts people at that time were resentful. ”
Cheng Kun frowned, isn't this the time of "burning books and pit Confucianism" that has been scolded by Confucianism for thousands of years in the history books of later generations? How did he become a "book-burning pit warrior" in Peng Rou's mouth, and the destroyed books also became martial arts exercises.
Once again, he realized that this world was still very different from the ancient China he had seen in the history books in his previous life.
"After the ancestor feathered and ascended, Feng Taishi took over as the second head of Xuan Yiguan, but not long after he became the head, the world changed greatly. There is no way to storm Qin, and the world will fight it together. Then there was the years-long struggle for hegemony between Xiang Yu, the founding emperor of our dynasty, and Liu Bang, the king of Han. ”
Cheng Kun nodded, Chu and Han fought for hegemony, which is also one of the major events in Chinese history.
"In such a chaotic situation, Master Feng Taizu repelled countless opponents with his peerless martial arts, and supported the inheritance of Xuanyiguan. According to legend, Taizu Xiang Yu once came to the door in person because he wanted to take a look at "Taishang Tongxuan Gui Yijing". At that time, no one in the door was his opponent, and it was not until Taishi Zu appeared that he was tied. ”
"After the establishment of the Chu Dynasty, Taishi Zu hid in the sect, did not step out of the sect for decades, painstakingly created many unique learnings, and carried forward my Xuanyi view. It was during this period that Taishi Zu silently broke through to become a great grandmaster. After creating these unique learnings, Taishi Zu said that he had completed the entrustment of his teacher, and for the rest of his time, he wanted to travel all over the great rivers and mountains to find a further way to ascend to the sky, and he drifted away after speaking. ”
After more than ten years, Xuan Yiguan could still intermittently get the news that Taishi Zu appeared in a certain place, but slowly, these news became less and less, until finally there was no news at all. In fact, to this day, there are still many uncles in the door who believe that his old man is still alive, just hiding in some unknown corner, smiling and watching the changes in the world. ”
"It's just that I didn't expect that I actually discovered the relics of the Taishi Ancestor in this Broken Dragon Mountain. In the end, Peng Rou's tone was a little stunned.
In her eyes, this Taishi Ancestor is no different from an immortal. But even a character like Taishi Zu failed to take the step of transforming into an immortal in the end, and in the end he could only quietly sit in this deep mountain.
This couldn't help but make Peng Rou wonder if the path of martial arts could continue to move forward after the great grandmaster, and whether the realm of beheading corpses recorded in the sect's classics really existed?
She doesn't know if she has this question alone, everyone who aspires to climb to the top of the martial arts will have such doubts at some point, but no one has ever got a definite answer, they can only use their lives to find it.
But in Cheng Kun's eyes, this kind of unknown is the charm of martial arts, and the pace of progress will never stop. Even if there is really no road, the words of the sages have made it very clear that there is no road in the world, and the more people walk, it becomes the road.
"General, can I ask how old this Senior Feng was when he left Xuanyiguan?"
Peng Rou said with certainty: "I know this very well, the Taishi Ancestor is already ninety-seven years old. ”
Cheng Kun looked at Senior Feng's beard and hair black before he died, and couldn't help but smack his tongue a little.
What Peng Rou said is not wrong, this old-timer is indeed a well-deserved martial arts legend.
