Tieshan lay man arranged for two disciples to give Zheng Tunan a simple burial, and then tried his best to rescue the two Zheng brothers, and Wan Weiwang once again took on the responsibility of going down the mountain to buy medicine. After several days of remediation, Zheng Kui and Zheng Biao's lives were finally saved.

And Geng Hongjun has long recovered, and Shangguan Qianye took turns to take care of this pair of suffering brothers. Slowly, Geng Hongjun found that there were only three masters and apprentices in Chaoyang Temple, including Tieshan monks, and he had never seen Shangguan Ding's figure, so he asked Shangguan Qianye: "Third brother, why don't you see Ding'er?"

After listening to Shangguan Qianye, his mood became solemn again, and tears flowed out again: "Fourth brother, on the way back from the newcomer, we were plotted by Yang Benmo, and the old thief smashed Ding'er into the mountain stream with a boulder, and so far we can't even find the bones. ”

Geng Hongjun was so angry after hearing this, he yelled: "This old man Yang Benmo even hurt my brother's life, even if I Geng Hongjun only has one breath in this life, I will swear not to stand with this person!" After speaking, the two brothers hugged each other and cried for a long time.

After more than a month of recuperation, the Zheng brothers have recovered from their injuries. In this month's time, the Zheng brothers learned the news of their father's death and also knew about Shangguan Ding's fall into a deep stream, and these sad facts were placed in front of them, making the originally happy brothers become sad people who wash their faces with tears all day long.

On this day, the Zheng brothers fully recovered and came early to kneel down to worship the Tieshan monks.

The Tieshan monk ordered them to get up, and then said, "If you brothers don't die in a great disaster, you will have a blessing in the future." Don't worry too much about the tribulations in front of you, these are just the capital of your growth, without which you will always feel that something is missing in your life. Now you are in a situation where you can say that there is nothing to lose, so everything from now on will be your gain. ”

Zheng Kui knelt there and said, "Tieshan Old Alliance Master, the three of my brothers have a wish, I don't know if I should say it." The Tieshan monk said, "If you have anything to say, it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

Zheng Kui said: "I have discussed with my second brother Zheng Biao and fourth brother Geng Hongjun for a long time, and I plan to worship your old man as a teacher, I don't know if you can accept us." ”

Tieshan Lay said with a smile: "I can understand the feelings of your brothers, but I have already said when I received a thousand nights that they will be my closed disciples, and I will not accept others anymore." ”

Although the words of the Iron Mountain Monk were very peaceful, they exuded a very powerful power that made people feel that they could not be bargained.

After listening, the faces of the three Zheng Kui brothers were full of frustration, and Tieshan lay priest saw it in his eyes, and then said: "Although I can't accept you as apprentices, but you are the sworn brothers of my apprentices, so although you don't have the name of master and apprentice, but you are no different from me. ”

The three brothers were very happy to hear it, so from this day on, everyone turned their hatred into the motivation to practice martial arts, and under the drive of Wan Weiwang and Shangguan Qianye, the brothers began to practice day and night.

After several days of practice, the Iron Mountain monk found that there were too many drawbacks in the swordsmanship of the Liujian Gate, many of the moves were flashy, although they looked very light and beautiful, but their attack ability was greatly reduced.

Tieshan Jushi came to the Zheng brothers and said, "Two young heroes, I know that you have both started to practice the swordsmanship of the Flowing Sword Sect since you were a child, and although you have a very deep affection for this swordsmanship, there is a sentence I don't know if I should say it today. ”

The Zheng brothers stood there in an orderly manner, their hands hung down, and they didn't dare to raise their heads: "Please also ask the old alliance leader to make it clear." ”

Tieshan Monk said: "Your swordsmanship, although it looks light, but the attack power is average, and you have no ability to give strong damage to the opponent, if it is a sword dance, of course it is extremely beautiful, but if you talk about martial arts, I am afraid that it will be a different matter." ”

Brother Zheng said: "The old alliance leader is very right, and I have to bother you to give me a lot of advice. ”

Tieshan Jushi said: "I don't dare to say it, I just want to say my personal opinion, whether it is right or not, please look at it dialectically between the two young heroes." After speaking, he took the sword in Zheng Kui's hand and practiced according to the swordsmanship of the Flowing Sword Gate.

In the process of drilling, all the useless tricks were removed, and some less aggressive moves were improved.

The Zheng brothers watched from the side, and they were really impressed. The self-reformed Liujianmen swordsmanship practiced by the Tieshan monks takes its essence and removes its dross, which is the essence of swordsmanship. The Zheng brothers never expected that even the head of the sect, Qin Zhongheng, had not practiced this set of swordsmanship so well, and his power had increased greatly.

Under the teaching of the Tieshan monks, the Zheng brothers had a new understanding of the swordsmanship of the Liujian Sect that they had never had before, and they also ignited their confidence.

The Tieshan monk walked to Geng Hongjun's side again and said to him: "Jun'er, what you need in your swordsmanship is to help with qi, and sword qi will hurt people. Although you practice very carefully, your internal strength is insufficient, so that your sword qi cannot reach the point of perfection. ”

Geng Hongjun said: "Tieshan monk, you are too right, I have also deeply realized this in the process of practicing swordsmanship. In the past, Ding'er and I explained the sword theory, but I always felt that something was missing, and today you said this, so that I really understand that what I lack is internal strength, but I don't know how to practice?"

Tieshan said: "China's qigong has a long history, and there is an old saying in the martial arts world, which is called to practice one breath inside, and one breath outside. It's just that everyone values the muscles and bones of external training, but not the cultivation of internal strength. In fact, the strength of the human body not only depends on the muscles and bones, but also the internal organs, as long as the inside and outside are strong, can it really be called a strong man. And some people only focus on external cultivation, and as a result, they are very prone to diseases of the internal organs. Therefore, it is necessary to practice the outside and settle the inside first. In this regard, Wudang's Tai Chi is the most typical. ”

Geng Hongjun said: "I don't know if you have a method to practice?" Tieshan monk smiled: "Of course there is, but don't worry, I will teach you slowly, this matter is not overnight." ”

In the next few months, Geng Hongjun no longer practiced sword dancing with his brothers, but really calmed down and practiced with Tieshan monks how to regulate pranayama, how to luck, how to sink the dantian, and how to release the internal qi. He knew that if he wanted to really use the giant sword well, he couldn't do it without the support of internal force, so he learned it very carefully.

The Iron Mountain monk also liked this child very much, and taught him very carefully. The other brothers will also come to study with Geng Hongjun when they have time, and in this way, everyone's martial arts skills have improved, and their internal qi has also grown completely.

Especially Shangguan Qianye, no matter which brother the Tieshan monk taught, he would put down his sword and listen quietly, so that among several people, his progress was the fastest and the greatest.

Tieshan monk is actually deliberately testing him, since Ding'er's accident, he has regarded Shangguan Qianye as his most proud disciple, although he is teaching others, but in fact, he is also intentionally letting Shangguan Qianye understand. Seeing his disciples working so hard and making such rapid progress, the old layman was happy in his heart.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, another five years have passed. The brothers looked much more majestic and burly than before. Today's Geng Hongjun is no longer as thin as he was back then, due to the effect of internal force, the entire neck is as thick as the head, and he is buzzing with echoes when he speaks, full of low breath.

When making the sword, with the roar of the golden bell, around the body of the Tai'a Sword, the rolling air mass was about more than a foot, and its power was no longer comparable to the past. And the Zheng brothers' swordsmanship has also made extraordinary progress under the teaching of the Tieshan monk for five years, the speed has increased significantly, and the strength has been doubled, although it does not look as beautiful as it was at the beginning, but its lethality is far from the swordsmanship of the Liujian Sect back then, although there are still some shadows, but it can be said to be a new martial art.

At this time, Wan Weiwang is no longer the loyal hero who can only be half a set of flame dragon anger back then. Every move and style is full of stability and atmosphere that was absolutely not in the past, and in the stability and atmosphere, there is also a murderous and domineering spirit.

Shangguan Qianye was the most pleasing to the Tieshan monks, five years ago, he just relied on a little bit of subtlety of his moves and his own speed, and he couldn't see anything unusual.

And today's Shangguan Qianye, when practicing Flame Dragon Fury and Red Tiger Roar, has completely integrated the two techniques, such progress makes Tieshan Monk also very surprised, I really don't know how much effort he has put into his back.

In the last year, the Iron Mountain monk always secretly woke him up in the middle of the night, took him to the back mountain, watched him practice swords, and then gave him instructions.

Later, the Tieshan monk told him to add internal force to the same way that Geng Hongjun practiced the giant sword. At first, Shangguan Qianye didn't use it too properly, but after a long time, he began to be a little handy.

Every night, looking at Shangguan Qianye wielding a seven-eyed remnant dragon in his hand from a distance, it is very spectacular. With a roar, Shangguan Qianye stabbed out, a fire dragon went with the knife, hovering in the air for several weeks before slowly fading and disappearing, before the fire dragon burned out, it was cut with another knife, and with the seven-eyed remnant dragon was a red giant tiger, which flashed several times in the night sky, illuminating the surroundings.

The Iron Mountain monk nodded with great satisfaction. One night before Shangguan Qianye went down the mountain, when he finished practicing the sword, the Tieshan monk walked up to him with a smile, patted Qianye on the shoulder and said, "From you, I saw myself back then. ”

The next day, the Tieshan monk called all the brothers together, and then said, "You four brothers, you have been practicing in my Shoushan Chaoyang Temple for five years, and you must have wanted to go down the mountain for a long time to see today's rivers and lakes, right?"

When several people heard this, although they were a little reluctant, the time in the mountains was indeed a little too long, and they all had smiles on their faces.

Tieshan Jushi continued: "Today, all four of you brothers will go down the mountain, this year's newcomer competition is about to begin, and the Zheng brothers and Hong Jun should also go on stage to give it a try." And the champion of this world is also this year, after you participate in the newcomer competition, you can directly participate in the champion competition. ”

The four brothers were very excited when they heard that the two sessions were held together. The Tieshan monks also know that none of the people who practice martial arts are looking forward to this day?

The Iron Mountain monk said: "The prestige still remains in the mountain, because he has already participated in the champion competition, and the four of you are together, I am also very relieved, so he will not go with you." If you can all show off your skills in the champion ring, then you can go to the Taidou Cliff together. ”

The brothers were very happy after hearing this, and the Tieshan monk repeatedly advised: "You must not forget everything back then, first, don't bury your hatred too much in your heart, that will make people lose themselves, and at the same time, you can't fully use your skills." Second, don't think that you are invincible in the world, you must remember that there are people outside the world, and there are heavens outside the sky, and since ancient times, arrogant soldiers will be defeated. Thirdly, don't harm living beings for no reason, for if I learn that you are doing something wrong, I will definitely take your head. The four brothers agreed to everything, bid farewell to the Tieshan monks and Wan Weiwang, and went down the mountain together and went to Songshan again.
