Journey to the West: The Rise of Martial Arts

Chapter 67
Everyone is a cultivator, chatting and walking, chatting until they get excited, but they don't feel sleepy.

Ren Qinglian knew that the Giant Spirit God had extraordinary skills in martial arts, so she wanted to ask him for advice, so the topic naturally leaned on it without a trace.

Fortunately, the giant spirit god preconceived and didn't think much about it.

Before they knew it, the two of them had arrived at an open space behind the villa.

Ren Qinglian proposed to compete in skills, and the Giant Spirit God readily agreed.

But the giant spirit god "knows" that Ren Qinglian is the reincarnation of a fairy, and her strength has not yet recovered, so naturally she will not really use her housekeeping skills.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the two fought against each other, he would suffer a big loss.

Ren Qinglian's boxing and kicking skills have been tempered a bit during the fierce battle with the tiger demon. In addition, after breaking through his physical body, his strength is already amazing, so it is not surprising that the careless giant spirit god suffers.

At that moment, the Giant Spirit God finally didn't dare to be careless, and used all the martial arts skills that he honed with Li Jing in the conquest of Shang Dynasty.

"The giant spirit shakes the ground!"

The Giant Spirit God roared, summoned three layers of physical strength, and struck the ground.

The next moment, the entire open space shook.

There was a crack in the stone under Ren Qinglian's feet, and she almost lost her footing.

"So strong!"

Instead of being surprised, he was overjoyed, shouted loudly, stepped on the Tiangang, and greeted the giant spirit god.

The night wind was getting stronger, and countless withered grasses on the field were hunting in the wind.

Ren Qinglian's footwork is ethereal, her two big sleeves swelled, and she swept towards her like the wings of a soaring roc.

When the Giant Spirit God saw it, he let out a low whistle, and retreated obliquely.

Ren Qinglian's palm swept away, and the strength of the palm slammed on the ground, immediately stirring up a pile of withered grass and flying it into the air.

At this time, the giant spirit god twisted his hands into a lotus print and pushed it out obliquely.

Immediately, I saw sand and stones flying in the open space, and the dead grass and fallen leaves scattered all over the ground.

These debris surged forward with the lotus handprint of the giant spirit god, and when Ren Qinglian came in front of him, they had already formed an even bigger lotus, circling the wind, and shot down Ren Qinglian.

Ren Qinglian was secretly startled, she made palms, fingers, and fists three times in a row, each time was stronger and faster than the first time, but she could barely block Lianhua's attack.

Seeing this, the Giant Spirit God let out a loud laugh: "Happily──"

Ren Qinglian clasped her fists slightly, and said with a wry smile: "Thank you, fellow daoist, for your mercy."

"Where, where, the last trick actually used some of my later understanding of Taoism!" The Giant Spirit God shook his head, and said seriously: "Only in terms of mortal martial arts, fellow Taoists have already It’s the pinnacle.”

Even in the Age of Conferred Gods, martial saints among mortals were rare.In the memory of the Giant Spirit God, Jiang Wenhuan was the only Martial Saint he knew before he became a god, and there were other powerful people, but they all relied on magic weapons!

"Martial arts are profound, the more advanced a mortal's martial arts are, the more they are inextricably linked with Taoism!" Ren Qinglian murmured.

"Fellow Daoist is right. It is rumored that during the era of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, many warriors among mortals were comparable to true immortals." Giant Spirit God said with a sigh.

It was the first time Ren Qinglian heard about this, and immediately asked curiously: "What else? I was only focused on retreating and practicing before, but I never heard of it, but the more I was exposed to mortal martial arts during this period, the more mysterious it became. endless."

Ju Lingshen thought to himself: "This fellow Taoist is probably from an authentic Taoist sect, and with the elders of the master to take care of him, he can naturally practice in seclusion without asking about worldly affairs..." He intends to form a friendship with this unfathomable fellow Taoist. Yuan, immediately told him about the events of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors.

Although he has never been to these things in person, but he wandered around the continents when he was young, and he heard the rumors, half-truths and half-false, and it was wonderful to talk about them.

Where did Ren Qinglian know this, she believed it to be true, and yearned for that era.

Human beings have stepped onto the grand stage since the era of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors. The gathering of winds and clouds, outstanding people, left countless legends, and laid the cornerstone of the protagonists of the human world.

According to the giant spirit god, among the three emperors, Fuxi is the master of human Taoist techniques and is regarded as the ancestor of Dharma by the human race, while Xuanyuan is the master of human martial arts fighting skills, known as the ancestor of martial arts.

Although Ren Qinglian is skeptical about this statement, but in that era, the human race fought against heaven and earth, and thousands of warriors competed with immortals and demons, which was always extremely desirable.

When the Giant Spirit God saw his expression, he knew that the bullshit was overblown, and immediately laughed: "After all, it's just a rumor among mortals. Fellow Daoists come from famous families, so naturally they can't compare with them."

Ren Qinglian was noncommittal, he was a mortal, and naturally admired the great achievements of these predecessors. No matter how true or false the rumor was, it was a lighthouse for him to cross the river by feeling the stones, and it was the place he yearned for.

Seeing that he seemed to be in a trance, the giant spirit god secretly got anxious, coughed dryly, and brought the topic to the mystery of Taoism.

"Back then, I was also very yearning for human martial arts, but even relying on the powerful physique of the giant spirits, I couldn't achieve much after nearly a hundred years of practice. Later, I came into contact with some Taoism with General Li, and my strength was real. Advance by leaps and bounds..."

"Is there such a thing?" Ren Qinglian frowned slightly. According to his imagination, a physique like a giant spirit god is simply a good talent for practicing martial arts.

Seeing this, the Giant Spirit God finally breathed a sigh of relief: "That's natural. Martial arts pay attention to swallowing mountains and rivers, spitting out stars, breathing heaven and earth, and accepting all rivers with a smile. There is a strong man who can stand shoulder to shoulder, how can it compare with our Taoism, divide the Kyushu, shake the five mountains, surpass the seven seas, and the sun and the moon shine together."

Ren Qinglian was noncommittal after hearing this. Although martial arts is difficult to cultivate, in the eyes of warriors, the sun and the moon can be bombarded and killed. Although Taoism is free and easy, one must be wary of cause and effect and follow the way of heaven.

The two chatted all night. Ju Lingshen is a simple and honest person. He felt a little sorry for making Ren Qinglian's Taoist heart unstable. He also specially taught a combat technique that integrates Taoism into martial arts, called "Bengshanquan", hoping that the other party can feel Taoism from it. The law is profound.

But in Ren Qinglian's eyes, the "Bengshan Fist", which combines martial arts with profound knowledge and giant spirits and gods combined with Taoism comprehension, is just a way of existence of martial arts.

The so-called being inclusive of all rivers, he actually doesn't care about absorbing the essence from Taoism to perfect the martial arts he pursues.

……

Early the next morning, the Liu family got up and repaired a simple vegetarian restaurant to entertain Master Xuanzang.

Ren Qinglian thought about what was on her mind, she pulled out a few mouthfuls casually, and saw that Master Xuanzang had already cleaned his hands, lit incense in front of the Tong Taibao's family hall, worshiped the family hall, knocked on the wooden fish, first recited the mantra of purifying mouth karma, and then recited After reading the mantra to purify the body and mind, then start the "Book of the Dead".
