Zhao Fan still didn't know that the aftermath of the Battle of Kanto had attracted the attention of a group of underworld heroes thousands of miles away. After using five days to stabilize the foundation of ten thousand poisons, at this moment, he is following the new teacher, taking the seaside, along the coastline, all the way back to the Song realm.

The old and the young were not particularly anxious, so they traveled all the way to the mountains and rivers, and went south in a leisurely manner. Most of the time, the magnificent sea view is always refreshing, and there can be some new understanding every moment, even if you occasionally encounter a few thieves who don't open your eyes, Zhao Fan alone can solve the problem lightly, and you don't have to bother the master and his old man to make a move.

Zhao Fan has never had a good face for this kind of roadblock robbery, and since his debut, he has always been sent to the underworld without asking about hardships. Purely from this point of view, this style of acting may be a little simple and rude, but after all, this world is different from the previous life, those who can have the courage to come out to rob, most of them have a few taels of kung fu in their hands, and they can eat enough to find a dart game at will, and then they can only be said to be evil by nature, in Zhao Fan's mind, only by killing them all is responsible for human society, reducing carbon dioxide emissions for the earth, if Zhao Fan is thick-skinned enough, he can even label himself as an "environmental protection guard".

At the beginning, Zhao Fan was afraid that Zhang Sanfeng would not like it, so he occasionally left a few hands, just piercing the sea of qi with sword qi and abolishing their whole body skills, but later found that the old man didn't care about this garbage at all, and thinking that the Wudang faction had conducted a strict investigation on himself before accepting apprentices, Zhao Fan gradually reverted to his old ways. Along the way, he killed the generals without mercy, bypassing the shores of the Bohai Sea from Liaodong. Entering the territory of Shandong, there were no less than 20 thieves who died at the hands of Zhao Fan. The number of people killed in just a few days is already more than the vast majority of Jianghu people who have slaughtered in a lifetime.

If there was a righteous gentleman here, he might have to frown, thinking that Zhao Fan was too murderous, but in Zhang Sanfeng's eyes, the old Taoist priest was always smiling and watching, neither stopping nor encouraging him. It's just that he sees everything the little apprentice is doing.

For nearly ten days, the two did not talk about any martial arts topics, until it was nearly noon on this day, the master and apprentice walked along the seashore for half a day, and suddenly, they saw that the water in front of them was vast, and it seemed to be vast and endless, and there was no path to go. Calculating the length of the journey, the two knew without asking about the nearby fishermen. This place must have been the place where the Yellow River flows into the sea.

Seeing this boundless water sky, Zhao Fan couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement, and when he was reading back then, the famous passages he had memorized couldn't help but come to mind. I couldn't help but sigh lightly and groaned with emotion.

"When the autumn water comes, hundreds of rivers irrigate the river; There is no debate between the two Zhuzhu cliffs. So Yan Hebo was happy and took the beauty of the world as his own. Go east with the river. As for the North Sea, look to the east. There is no water end in sight. So Yan Hebo turned his face, looked at the ocean and sighed......"

"If you hear the Tao, you think it is better than yourself, and I say it. Zhang Sanfeng on the side listened to Zhao Fan's recitation, smiled slightly, and continued to chant, "And I have tasted the righteousness of Shao Zhongni and despised the righteousness of Boyi, I have believed in it;

After saying this, the old Taoist priest stroked his palms and laughed loudly, looked at Zhao Fan and said: "I didn't expect that the apprentice chanting this Nanhua Sutra is so familiar, it is really the true nature of the Taoist, and the old Taoist has finally not been blind!"

The meaning of praise in these words was overflowing, and Zhao Fan was so frightened that he hurriedly waved his hand constantly, and he didn't even dare to say it.

"This ...... The foolishness of the disciples is not open, where can they be worthy of the name of "Taozi", and it is just a "Autumn Water", but those who have the slightest knowledge have all read it, where can they be worthy of the teacher's praise. ”

"Oh, do you think being a teacher is a false praise?" Hearing Zhao Fan's words, Zhang Sanfeng first smiled noncommittally, then put the matter aside first, and turned to ask another question.

"Apprentice, you have had half a moon since you apprenticed, but have you ever thought about why Lao Dao wants to accept you as an apprentice? Before accepting an apprentice, why did you have to travel thousands of miles north to Liaodong?"

As soon as this question came out, Zhao Fan suddenly felt that he really asked his heart. But if you want to answer, there is no answer at all.

In desperation, Zhao Fan could only shake his head and bow respectfully.

"Please forgive the apprentice for being dull, although I have been referring to the true meaning of this for the past few days, but I have never had a clue, and I ask the master to show me without hesitation. ”

Regarding Zhao Fan's answer, Zhang Sanfeng first smiled, and then waved his hand lightly.

"Stupid?" the old man chuckled and said, "I don't have many apprentices in my life, how can I accept a dull apprentice? I'm not the old man of Wang Hao, I like to cultivate a dull boy, since you can be an apprentice of the old way, how can you be a dull person? Hey, not only are you not stupid, but you kid is even smarter, but Lao Dao's acceptance of apprentices this time is not a whim, but a secret related to my Daomen, you kid doesn't know what it is, so naturally you can't think of it even if you want to break your head!"

"Uh...... This ......" Listening to what the master said, Zhao Fan couldn't help but sweat profusely, and couldn't help but ask, "Master, you mean, you already knew that I would definitely not be able to answer, and then you deliberately asked me this question?"

"Yes, what is your opinion?" Zhang Laodao pursed his lips and said unusually straightforwardly, "One of Master's pleasures, isn't it that you can use difficult questions to ask your apprentice?

"This ...... Of course, this is not the intention. The apprentice means that no matter what the master teaches, it must be very profound, and if the apprentice ponders it repeatedly, he will definitely be able to gain deeply!"

"Well, that's pretty much it!" Zhang Sanfeng smiled with satisfaction, ended this joke between the master and apprentice, and then his face straightened, and he began to talk about the "inside information" about this apprentice.

"Regarding this matter, the first thing to talk about is the martial arts masters in this world. I think you should also know that today is a prosperous world of martial arts. Whether it is a family or a faction, or a big sect. When judging ordinary characters, they will follow the method passed down from generation to generation. The martial artists of the rivers and lakes are divided into first, second and third-rate characters, and even ordinary wrestlers who are not in the stream, and on top of this, those who transcend the 'acquired' cage and enter the 'innate realm', according to their skills, have more honorific titles such as grandmasters and great grandmasters, and there are more so-called 'super masters' and 'peerless strongmen'. ”

"Of course, although the division is so. However, within the same category, the actual cultivation of the master may still be very different, that is, in terms of the "Jiuyang Divine Skill" practiced by the old Taoist teacher Jueyuan, all those who have the power of "Jiuyang" and enter the "congenital" are all grandmasters, and the title of "great grandmaster" on it includes the triple realm of "Jiuyang Perfection", "Jiuyang Qitai" and "Gathering Yang to One". The difference in combat power cannot be said at all, and according to the old way, if you can break through the boundary of 'gathering the sun and returning to one'. To the unprecedented realm of the 'Ten Suns', this immortal skill should still be able to go further. Reach the level of 'Super Master'. ”

This is just an example. Explain some of the general theories of martial arts in the world today, according to the old way. Even if you have never heard such a discussion, a martial artist above the Grand Master, and even a 'Super Master' and a 'Peerless Strongman', should have heard of it from time to time, and even seen a lot of it with your own eyes. I don't know if the old way is right?"

"That's true. Zhao Fan nodded affirmatively.

"Although the 'peerless master' has only seen one master so far, because of the extensive travel of the father-in-law in the family, there are masters who come to visit from time to time, such as grandmasters, great grandmasters, and even super masters, and the apprentices have seen more than one. ”

"That's it," Zhang Sanfeng nodded and continued, "Because of the family history, I think you have a considerable understanding of masters at all levels, from the notes of the predecessors, you should also have turned to the 'Broken Void', you should know that this 'Broken Void' is the ultimate end of the martial artist's pursuit of the 'Supreme Heavenly Dao', in my Taoist words, it is the ascension of the day." ”

"So, here's the problem-" The old Taoist priest looked at the endless sea in front of him, and asked in a mansheng voice, "Good disciple, what level do you think you need to be a martial artist to successfully 'shatter the void'?"

"What level?"

Hearing Shizun's seemingly meaningful question, Zhao Fan couldn't help frowning slightly.

Before hearing this question, according to Zhao Fan's understanding, since "Shattering the Void" is the end of a martial artist's pursuit, it is natural that he should have a cultivation that is unparalleled in the world, so that he can tear through the space and go to a higher level. And the reason why peerless strongmen like Shizun and Empress Wu are still in the world should also be because they have not yet reached the conditions of "Shattered Void".

However, after hearing Zhang Sanfeng's question, Zhao Fancai was shocked to realize that his idea was probably just pure assumption, not the truth of the facts. According to the meaning of Zhang Sanfeng's words, if you want to "shatter the void", you may not need the extraordinary cultivation of the "peerless strongman" level at all, you only need a slightly lower level.

However, judging from the experience of reading "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" in his previous life, even peak grandmasters like Bi Xuan, Ning Daoqi, and Fu Cailin are still quite far from the Broken Void, so the correct answer should be......

"Could it be that with the skills of a super master, you can already fly to the sky without staying in the world for a long time?!"

Speaking of the conclusion that he didn't dare to imagine before, Zhao Fan was taken aback by his boldness, but before he could digest the surprise, Zhang Sanfeng on the side had already nodded affirmatively.

"The children can be taught!"

The old Taoist priest smiled as he narrated the supreme mystery of martial arts practice.

"In fact, in the eyes of the masters who have reached the level of the old way, the 'universe' and 'universe' of this world are far from being as solid as the world imagines, otherwise, with the power of human beings, how can it tear apart the universe and the light of the universe and reach the huge sublimation of the life level?"

"Hehe, in fact, as long as he has the cultivation of a 'super master', a martial artist can be regarded as having the bottom line of 'Shattering the Void', above this, as long as he reaches any of the 'extremes' of 'cathode', 'anode' and 'human pole', he can find a master who has reached the opposite 'extreme', and in the fierce battle, he will collide with his true yuan and open the 'immortal gate', so as to 'shatter the void', which is what is called 'mutual evidence' in martial arts. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Sanfeng closed his mouth and looked at Zhao Fan, wanting to see if this apprentice could comprehend the unspoken meaning from it.

The results were quite satisfactory. After a moment of silence, Zhao Fan raised his head suddenly, and looked at his master with his eyes like lightning.

"Master just said...... As long as you reach the 'ultimate', you can 'mutual proof'......" Zhao Fan squinted his eyes and asked, "So, if you fail to reach the 'ultimate', or if you can't find someone to 'mutual proof', what will happen to this master?"

"Hey, what else?" Zhang Sanfeng said with a smile, "If that's the case, he can only stay in the world forever, constantly improve his skills, and stay up until the day he dies." For example, for example, the Taoist predecessor 'Heavenly Master' Sun En, after he practiced the 'Yellow Heaven Da/Fa', he had already reached the 'Anode' realm, but because he was unable to 'prove the void' with others, he could only continue to improve his skills until he created the 'Yellow Sky Wuji' and became a peerless master, and he was still unable to soar alone, which is the case. ”

"I see. ”

Hearing Shizun's explanation, Zhao Fan nodded clearly.

According to this statement, the reason why so many masters above the great masters in the world can't be "broken" when their skills are reached, they don't know the secrets, and they don't deliberately cultivate their skills to one of the "three poles", I'm afraid it's the most fundamental reason.

"But ......" After thinking for a while, Zhao Fan's already stretched brows couldn't help but wrinkle again, "Master, is this so-called 'extreme' really so difficult to achieve? It stands to reason that with your cultivation, Master, and you clearly know the secret of brokenness, why did you never reach the 'extreme' realm, so you shattered and left?"

"Hey, that's what the old way is going to say!"

Zhang Sanfeng looked at the sea in front of him with deep eyes, and said slowly, but clearly.

"In fact, in addition to mutual evidence, there is a second way to shatter the void, and that is to achieve two 'extremes' at the same time with your own strength, and then you can shatter it alone. The old man's 'Nine Heavens True Sutra' is the same as your 'wedding dress magic skill', taking the road of 'perfect infinity', as early as 80 years ago, it has been 'two poles return to the source', truly cultivated to 'ultimate unity', reached the realm of super masters, and even followed. ”

In other words, at least seventy years ago, the old way had the ability to shatter the void and go. Zhang Sanfeng said lightly, as if everyone in the rivers and lakes dreamed of achieving the "final realm" was just a trivial matter for him.

However, in Zhao Fan's ears, this fact seemed to be thunderous, and he was stunned on the spot, and he couldn't speak for a long time. (To be continued......)
