Longevity begins with a proud smile

Zhuo Lingfeng's strange words came out of nowhere, and both Zhao Min and Zhou Zhiruo were stunned for a moment.

Zhang Sanfeng smiled lightly and said: "The old Taoist has made a name for himself in the world more than sixty years ago, and is known as the Sloppy Taoist!"

Zhang Sanfeng was silent for a moment and then said: "When I was traveling in the world, many treacherous people died at the hands of the old masters, and because of this, my reputation grew and I was respected by others!"

Zhao Min smiled and said: "That's why Master is regarded as the Taishan Beidou in today's martial arts world!"

Zhang Sanfeng stroked his beard and sighed: "I have always wanted to find an opponent who can prove the way of martial arts, but I have never been able to do so.

Throughout the ages, martial arts masters such as Bodhidharma, Huang Shang, and Chongyang Zhenren are the most famous among the five masters of the Central Plains.

In the past, I met Daxia Guo, Daxia Yang, Island Master Huang, Master Yideng, and Old Naughty Boy at the top of Huashan Mountain. However, because they were still young and did not know martial arts, I was unable to fight with them, which was a regret in my life.

Your martial arts skills have brought you to an extraordinary realm. I only hope to have a fight with you, which can not only prove the way of martial arts, but also gain a glimpse of the style of my predecessors, and fulfill my lifelong wish. "

Zhuo Lingfeng knew that although Zhang Sanfeng was overdue, he had been in the martial arts world for decades and was the number one person in the world. He had just approached him, but he didn't notice anything. It goes without saying that his skills were profound.

He rarely takes action after middle age. People in the martial arts know that his cultivation is unfathomable, but to what extent it is impossible to fathom. Especially when Zhang Sanfeng took the initiative to come to him. With his detached mind that didn't care about anything, no matter how conceited Zhuo Lingfeng was, he would never feel that Zhang Sanfeng really regarded him as his opponent.

Rather, the people he wanted to fight most were Huang Shang, Chongyang Zhenren, and Guo Jing.

After listening to Zhang Sanfeng's words, Zhao Min and Zhou Zhiruo decided that Zhang Sanfeng would use Zhuo Lingfeng's power to compete with the best masters of the past and present.

Zhuo Lingfeng's eyes flickered, his face became more solemn, and he said slowly: "Life is lonely, and it's hard to hide your loneliness, I understand! It's just that the real person praises the younger generation too much."

At this point, except for Zhao Min who had some idea of ​​Zhuo Lingfeng's thoughts, Zhou Zhiruo and Zhang Sanfeng were both baffled when they saw this situation.

Zhou Zhiruo asked: "What's wrong?"

Zhuo Lingfeng looked serious and shook his head silently.

It turned out that Zhuo Lingfeng's "Collection Pearl" had reached 90%, and he was afraid that after the battle with Zhang Sanfeng, he would be unable to leave again.

Otherwise, Zhuo Lingfeng would have gone to Wudang Mountain to compete with Zhang Sanfeng, how could it be postponed to this day?

After all, "Chinese people are not the first, but military forces are not the second."

Zhao Min knew Zhuo Lingfeng and his scruples, his heart was pounding, his pink fists were clenched, and his palms were full of sweat.

Suddenly Zhuo Lingfeng exhaled and said with a wry smile: "Zhenren Zhang is a great master, admired by the world, but all I have learned in my life was created by my predecessors, I really am not worthy of fighting with you!

If you want to prove martial arts with Huang Shang, Chongyang Zhenren, and Guo Daxia, I can tell you all the martial arts I know, how can it hurt your harmony?

What Zhuo Lingfeng said was fair and reasonable, because with Zhang Sanfeng's cultivation level, as long as Zhuo Lingfeng was like this, his martial arts would have no secrets to him, but Zhang Sanfeng couldn't help but be stunned.

He knew that when Zhuo Lingfeng first saw him in Wudang Mountain, his eyes were full of fighting spirit. If he hadn't been injured and inconvenienced, he might have challenged him long ago.

Moreover, there were countless people in the world who wanted to fight with him, but there was only one person he wanted to fight with, but unexpectedly the other party politely declined.

Zhou Zhiruo even knew that today's battle would be a rare event in the martial arts world for decades. Thinking that today he might be able to witness the duel between the strongest masters in the world, he was really overjoyed. However, he did not expect that Zhuo Lingfeng would be like this. General.

In doubt, Zhang Sanfeng smiled and said: "Why should you belittle yourself? I know very well what your martial arts attainments are.

Why, are you afraid that losing to me will affect the honor and disgrace of your seniors?

The old Taoist is here today. The victory or defeat is only between you and me. It will never be spread to outsiders. Why do you have to worry? "

People who practice martial arts are naturally eager to win, so there is a saying that "there is no first place in martial arts, and no second place in martial arts".

When Zhuo Lingfeng arrived in Yitian World, the biggest thought in his mind was to have a duel with the martial arts legend Zhang Sanfeng.

It's just that Zhao Min is pregnant now. If he really leaves because of the battle with Zhang Sanfeng, it will be a huge regret.

Zhao Min smiled slightly, leaned into Zhuo Lingfeng's ear and said, "I know what you are thinking. But are you really sure you can beat Master Zhang?"

As soon as these words came out, Zhuo Lingfeng was quite ashamed and thought to himself: "Yes, if I beat Zhang Sanfeng, I might trigger the Luck Gathering Pearl, but am I sure I can beat him?

Zhuo Lingfeng, Zhuo Lingfeng, you are really arrogant! "

Thinking of this, his face became hot and he cupped his hands and said: "It is better for me to obey my orders than to be respectful!"

Zhang Sanfeng raised his eyebrows: "This is how it should be!"

Suddenly he jumped high, twisted and turned in the air, and landed lightly on a prominent rocky rock. The posture was graceful and graceful, which was exactly the Wudang secret skill "Ladder to Cloud".

He was calm and calm, standing quietly on the ground with his hands behind his back, his back straight and straight, like the mountains and the mountains, as if it was the natural evolution of heaven and earth.

Zhuo Lingfeng muttered in his heart: "This veteran's martial arts skills are unfathomable. It will be difficult for me to defeat him for a while. I should try my best to defend myself and wait until his strength is exhausted before launching a counterattack. This way I can be sure of victory!"

Zhuo Lingfeng was afraid in his heart that he would be satisfied with the 100% concentration of the Luck Pearl and leave the world, but when he faced an unparalleled master like Zhang Sanfeng, he naturally thought about how to win.

This is the terrible desire of martial arts practitioners to win.

Can overpower everything.

At that time, Wang Chongyang and Lin Chaoying clearly had a friendship with each other. They could talk about everything calmly and would not go against each other.

But when it came to discussing martial arts, the two had different opinions, quarreled from time to time, and completely forgot about love and affection.

The two regretted it very much afterwards, but when they met again and talked about martial arts, it was the same. As the quarrels became more and more frequent, no matter how thick the friendship was, they could not help but be consumed in this way. In the end, they agreed with the saying "Colorful clouds are easy to disperse, but dreams are hard to make." Harmony!"

And all of this is definitely not within my control.

Especially when Zhuo Lingfeng and Zhang Sanfeng have mastered their martial arts to such an extent, finding an opponent is as difficult as finding a needle in the sea. The regret of the sword demon Dugu Qiu's defeat back then was not unique to him. Otherwise, Zhang Sanfeng would not have the leisure to compete with Zhuo Lingfeng.

Zhang Sanfeng stroked his beard and smiled and said: "Little friend Zhuo, come on now. Thinking that I can see the secrets of ancient and modern magic by fighting with you, the old Taoist can't help but move his fingers. These decades of Tao practice have been in vain."

Zhuo Lingfeng smiled: "That's blasphemy!"

He placed his left foot lightly, like a wisp of blue smoke rising into the air. He turned his right palm out and pushed towards Zhang Sanfeng with a light palm. This move is just the introductory palm technique taught by Quanzhen to stretch the muscles and strengthen the body.

However, Zhang Sanfeng saw that this palm of his was returning to its original nature and full of energy. He couldn't help shouting "good" and slapped it with his left hand. But in the middle of the palm, he suddenly clasped his wrist behind his back and faced Zhuo Lingfeng's right hand, making a crane with his right hand. It looked like a mouth, poking out towards his ribs.

This move was extremely clumsy, trying to resist but welcoming it, seemingly slow but fast, subtle and exquisite. Zhuo Lingfeng was in mid-air, and he felt that the air around him suddenly stagnated, and it was wrapped around him like glue, and he felt faintly being directly Pull down trend.

Zhuo Lingfeng knew that Zhang Sanfeng had used his unparalleled inner strength to perform the technique of "Capturing the Dragon and Controlling the Crane", and he admired him in his heart. At this moment, his body was suspended in the air, so he just took advantage of the situation, slashed Zhang Sanfeng's left wrist with one palm, and then used the opportunity to strike at his right palm. Once pressed, the palm force was weak and strong, and even Zhang Sanfeng's ability could not dodge it.

When the two palms touched, there was no sound. Zhuo Lingfeng felt that the place where his palms touched was as soft and light as nothing. Zhang Sanfeng had already removed the force of his palms.

When Zhang Sanfeng was relieved, Zhuo Lingfeng's robes swayed, and with the help of his strength, he lifted up. He circled like a swift eagle and fell behind Zhang Sanfeng in an instant. Just before his feet were on the ground, his right palm flew backwards. Pat Zhang Sanfeng on the back.

This move is the essence of Zhuo Lingfeng's martial arts, and it is also the exquisite killing move of Quanzhen Sect and Beggar Clan's martial arts. The former uses Quanzhen Palm Technique and "Golden Wild Goose Kung Fu" to transform in the air, while the latter is "Subduing Dragon". "The dragon swings its tail" in "Eighteen Palms".

Zhang Sanfeng saw that his body was like running water, his hands were like Mount Tai, and he had the right combination of strength and softness, so he praised: "What a move!"

Zhuo Lingfeng had no reservations when facing a master like Zhang Sanfeng. He devoted his whole life to this palm. Even with Zhang Sanfeng's ability, he did not dare to be careless. When he spoke, he spread his palms apart, and followed the palm movement with his left palm, sticking and drawing. , turned around, and suddenly turned into a "progressive hammer", pushing outwards with both hands.

This move seems light but is actually heavy, seems slow but is actually fast. In an instant, the martial arts essence of "stopping with stillness and combining movement with stillness" is the "Tai Chi" method that Zhang Sanfeng painstakingly created.

This boxing method emphasizes using softness to overcome hardness, and the most taboo is to use force. However, Zhang Sanfeng's martial arts training has reached its peak. His hands are as soft as cotton and hard as iron. This "Tai Chi" has the magical effect of using the most softness to produce the most rigidity. This push is majestic and powerful. Like the sky moving and the mountains moving.

Zhuo Lingfeng suddenly felt short of breath, but he did not panic. He squatted slightly, made a stroke with his left palm, and pushed out with his right palm.

"boom!"

This time, the fists of the two people connected with each other, and a fierce wind blew up. Zhuo Lingfeng let out a cry, somersaulted backwards, and landed a foot away. When he landed, there was a purple air on his face, and he was secretly shocked: " Good guy, this veteran has so much inner strength!"

He was the most courageous in his life, and only a few people admired his martial arts. But at this time, he couldn't help but wonder, "Does it mean that if I want to win, I can only rely on exhausting my endurance with him? Besides, this Tai Chi emphasizes intention rather than force, and is best at fighting for a long time. Can I really defeat him?

Probably not! "Zhang Sanfeng seemed to be pulled by a rope behind him, and he flew back more than a foot. He exchanged palms with Zhuo Lingfeng, and felt the energy and blood flowing. He smiled and said: "The Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms are really powerful! "

Zhuo Lingfeng was moved and asked: "Master, is this your 'Tai Chi'?"

"Not bad!" Zhang Sanfeng said calmly.

Zhuo Lingfeng nodded and said with a smile: "Zhang Zhenren's Tai Chi is as soft as cotton and as hard as iron. From the softest to the strongest, there is the magical effect of hardness. This junior admires it!"

This is the second palm duel between the people with the highest martial arts skills in the contemporary era. It is not only a collision of real powers, but also a real showdown between "Eighteen Palms for Subduing the Dragon" and "Tai Chi".

The Eighteen Palms of Subduing the Dragon are both strong and powerful, but Tai Chi emphasizes the principles of "empty spirit pushing up strength, lifting the chest and straightening the back, loosening the waist and hanging the hips, sinking the shoulders and lowering the elbows". It is the most gentle boxing method, and it is purely performed with the mind. Avoid exerting force and unite form and spirit, which is the key point.

The two methods of martial arts are different, but the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms is not just about being fierce, but also about "retaining more force than remaining strength". Zhuo Lingfeng has also practiced it to the point where extreme strength leads to softness, so Zhang Sanfeng is more than enough to resolve Zhuo Lingfeng's offensive. , but it is absolutely impossible to defeat him by borrowing strength.

Therefore, although Zhang Sanfeng's skill was decades deeper than Zhuo Lingfeng's, and his internal energy was much purer than his, he never took advantage.

However, the strength of the opponent was the strength of the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms. Zhuo Lingfeng did not gain the upper hand, obviously because his internal strength was not as good as Zhang Sanfeng's.

Therefore, whether this move is higher or lower depends on the benevolent and the wise, but both of them are aware of the situation of the enemy and me.

Zhang Sanfeng said: "The veteran has been practicing for a long time, and his skills are more refined than yours. I think you haven't really mastered the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms to the extreme yet!"

Zhuo Lingfeng was silent for a moment and sighed: "Zhenzhen Zhang can see it clearly. It is said that Guo Daxia's Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms are both hard and soft. I am still a little behind and can't beat you!"

"Ha ha!"

After Zhang Sanfeng smiled, he waved his sleeves and said loudly: "Then let the old Taoist see the skills of Quanzhen Sect and Jiuyin Manual!"

Zhuo Lingfeng straightened up, his clothes and hair were fluttering, he stepped over two feet away, and punched out with a force as powerful as a galaxy. Zhang Sanfeng's clothes and hair were fluttering in the whirlwind around him.

Zhang Sanfeng's eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "What kind of punch is this?" He did not dodge or dodge, swaying his hands and touching them like flying.

The so-called "Yi has Tai Chi, which gives rise to two rituals, two rituals give rise to four images, and four images give birth to Bagua. Wuji and Tai Chi use the square as the shape and the circle as the spirit!"

When the Tai Chi magic skill is practiced to the deepest level, the yin and yang poles rotate at high speed, and the pressure generated can force the opponent to involuntarily injure himself.

In the original trajectory, this is the reason why Zhang Wuji defeated Fang Dongbai, the "Eight-Armed Divine Sword" holding the Yitian Sword, on top of Wudang Mountain.

Therefore, Zhang Sanfeng's hands seemed to be drawing a circle, but they were divided into yin and yang and divided into four images. Zhuo Lingfeng's powerful fist was as powerful as a stone sinking into the sea, and all the internal energy of the landing point disappeared without a trace.

The essence of Tai Chi's magical skill is to focus on the intention and ignore the moves. If the mind is restrained, the moves will not be pure. When Zhang Sanfeng taught Zhang Wuji in the original track, he was asked to forget the moves when facing the enemy.

Zhuo Lingfeng became famous at a young age, and at this moment he was also inspired with arrogance. He didn't believe that Zhang Sanfeng's Tai Chi could make him invincible. He struck continuously, opened and closed the moves, his power was omnipresent, and his momentum was magnificent, and he said: "Great Demon-Suppressing Fist!"

But when I saw Zhang Sanfeng, he showed no tricks or fancy tricks and just used them casually.

His martial arts has reached the highest level where he can do whatever he wants without any dissatisfaction. He is no weaker than any master from ancient times to the present. He has an endless stream of strange and wonderful tricks, covering sticking, luring, squeezing, pressing and other key points.

At first, the two of them were asking and answering questions, but at this point, they had no time to spare, and they were all fighting fast, and in the blink of an eye, they had fired more than fifty moves.

In terms of depth of cultivation, Zhuo Lingfeng is far inferior to Zhang Sanfeng, but his knowledge covers all the great masters, and no master from ancient times to the present can even hope to compare with him.

Coupled with his extremely rich personal combat experience, he used the martial arts in the Nine Yin Scriptures one by one. His fists, palms, fingers, and feet were all capable of changing, and his movements were so fast that they were beyond the limits of human power, and ghosts and phantoms could not be described. .

However, Zhang Sanfeng cleverly participated in nature, and his skills were as skillful as heaven's. Tai Chi was so powerful that his whole body was connected with Qi. The true Qi flowed like the Yangtze River, without any stagnation. He could not be carved by human power. The state of transformation.

The two of them fired hundreds of moves in the blink of an eye, but Zhuo Lingfeng couldn't gain the slightest advantage. He didn't want to win with his youth and strength, so he raced ahead step by step. His whole body was filled with energy and energy, and he wanted to win with real martial arts. He had brought his martial arts to an unprecedented level.

However, Zhang Sanfeng's boxing skills are mysterious, and his attacks are subtle and elusive. When Zhang Sanfeng's strength and martial arts skills came under his hands, he could easily resolve them one by one.

If your fists and palms meet, you will feel that the opponent's strength is not strong, weak or not, strong or not, but there is a slippery and tough resistance, and your own strong, domineering and fierce internal force is not only useless. It was as if he was surrounded by a copper wall and an iron wall, leaving no room for any high moves.

Only then did Zhuo Lingfeng become convinced that Zhang Sanfeng's overpowering of the martial arts world was indeed not just a boast. But when he met such an opponent, he not only was not discouraged, but his desire to win was stronger than ever.

And this state of mind is extremely strange. It is neither a burning and competitive heart nor a calm and indifferent heart.

He wanted to make full use of what he had learned, and use Zhang Sanfeng as a whetstone to master all martial arts, find his own way, and build a family brilliantly. As for victory or defeat, it didn't matter.

Little did he know that Zhang Sanfeng was also thinking a lot at this moment.

This Tai Chi magical skill is the essence of Zhang Sanfeng's martial arts. He created it not long ago and has never competed with an expert. Meeting Zhuo Lingfeng now is a new test for him.

I never thought that the general would be so good that he could resist Zhuo Lingfeng's dozens of superb martial arts, and he would become more and more handy. Seeing that his Tai Chi skills were so powerful, he was both frightened and relieved. After all, the years of sitting in confinement were not wasted.

Zhou Zhiruo and Zhao Min have a natural love for martial arts. They have witnessed Zhuo Lingfeng's unparalleled magical skills many times before, but when they saw Zhuo Lingfeng at this time, they were shocked. She thought to herself that she was also used to the Nine Yin Magical Skills, but compared with it, it was nothing like Yunni.

However, Zhang Sanfeng's Tai Chi moves with stillness, seemingly slow but actually very fast. It is so different from other worldly martial arts. At first, they could understand their moves. Later, when they saw the subtle moves of both parties, they often had to think for a while before they could understand the beauty of them. place, and then the moves of the two people were no longer visible. They both thought: "The martial arts of these two people are so high. No wonder they can defeat those first-class masters almost instantly. In the future, if the Wudang Sect has this set of Tai Chi, won't they be invincible in the world?"

The two women didn't know that they had already made a mistake. Although "Tai Chi" is the pinnacle of martial arts in modern times, the current user is Zhang Sanfeng. Only with this ability can he remain unchanged and cope with all changes, and can deal with Zhuo Lingfeng without losing. If others use "Tai Chi" to face Zhuo Lingfeng's offensive, , has long been defeated.

Even if it were Zhang Sanfeng, if he had another opponent, his newly created fist would never reach the level it showed today.

Because martial arts masters compete, strength is important, but also depends on actual combat experience and on-the-spot performance. Personal mood and state are also crucial.

Zhang Sanfeng, the great master of the generation, had no personal grudges against Zhuo Lingfeng, nor did he pursue fame or fortune, nor did he have any grudges against the sect. It was a state of mind that was completely "competing for the sake of martial arts", which is different from the so-called "art for art's sake" by later generations of artists. "The mentality is no different.

In addition, with two people of such skill, it is not easy to defeat one person, but it is even more difficult to have two people. It is a rare opportunity for two people to meet and compete with each other, and they are both in this kind of mentality.

As a result, both of them took what they learned to an unprecedented level.

Zhao Min and Zhou Zhiruo looked at the two of them as if they were phantoms, and both felt that compared with them, they were no different than ants.

Zhao Min took a breath of cold air and thought to himself: "I was lucky enough to be able to successfully plot against this old master that day! If I couldn't get rid of him in one fell swoop and provoke revenge, my whole family would suffer.

It's no wonder that the imperial court hated Wudang and never took action against him. Zhang Sanfeng also didn't take action against the imperial court. In fact, it was a balance. I still took some risks last time. "

"Who do you think will win?"

Zhou Zhiruo asked coldly, not knowing what Zhao Min was thinking about.

Zhao Min frowned slightly, then smiled and said: "Of course he is my husband!"

She said it casually, but she knew in her heart that although Zhuo Lingfeng was superb in martial arts, Zhang Sanfeng, who had returned to his original nature and seemed to be even better than her husband, might not be able to defeat him.

"Zhao Min, let's make a bet!" Zhou Zhiruo said lightly: "I bet that Zhang Zhenren will win!"

Zhao Min glanced sideways and said, "What are you betting on?"

Zhou Zhiruo said: "If I win, you will have to call me sister when you see me in the future. What I say will be what you do. If you win, the same will happen. Do you dare?"

Zhao Min rolled his eyes and hummed: "I think you are a drunkard who doesn't care about drinking or gambling!"

Zhou Zhiruo sneered: "You talk about the deep love between husband and wife, it turns out you still don't believe him!"

Zhao Min laughed and said nothing, thinking: "That's Zhang Sanfeng. Who can beat him in the past and present? Brother Feng is still young, so it's normal that he can't beat him!"

While the two women were talking, they suddenly heard Zhuo Lingfeng's ethereal voice: "The martial arts in the Nine Yin Scriptures cannot beat you, so why don't you look at my Tiangang Beidou Dafa!

Zhuo Lingfeng quickly tapped the ground with his toes, determined the position of the seven stars, and launched his extremely light kung fu, wandering around Zhang Sanfeng uncertainly. His moves were like a chaotic brocade, and the power of his palms gushed out, with overwhelming power.

"The last time I saw him, I didn't want to learn Master Chongyang's sect-suppressing secrets every day!"

Zhang Sanfeng had witnessed the power of the "Tiangang Beidou Step" in Wudang Mountain last time and did not dare to underestimate it. With a flick of his sleeves and robes, he used Tai Chi to form a round body and protect his whole body. (End of chapter)
