Chapter 79 Taoist Chen Zhanping(1/2)
Author: Canghai Guyin
Green mountains and beautiful waters.
There are layers of mountains and mountains.
At a glance, there are towering peaks, lush forests, clouds and mist lingering in the forest, Taoist temples and pavilions looming, mysterious and ethereal.
"This is Wudang Mountain. It is indeed a famous Taoist mountain..."
Tang Li was carrying a backpack and stood in front of the mountain gate, looking at the scenery on the mountain and sighing.
After a journey, Tang Li came to Wudang Mountain.
"Master Tang."
Chen Shiji appeared on the stone path and walked over.
"Master Chen, I'm sorry to bother you," Tang Li said, cupping his fists and saluting Chen Shiji.
"Haha, Master Tang is so polite. It should be an honor for me to entertain people like Master Tang." Master Chen Ji, who usually has a humorous and friendly temperament, said: "I heard that Master Tang came to Wudang, and the audience was also very happy.
I want to talk to you. Please come with me."
Chen Shiji took Tang Li into the mountain.
Wudang Sect is not a scenic spot. It is located in the back mountain with a quiet environment. The stone road winds all the way. In the mountains and forests on both sides, there are occasionally squirrels, golden pheasants and other animals. The white mist fills the air, giving it a natural and harmonious artistic conception.
Not long after, a Taoist temple appeared in sight.
The Taoist temple is grand and elegant, covering a vast area. There are buildings and pavilions among the cliffs. It is isolated from the world, quiet and pure.
On the bluestone square of the main hall, Taoists lined up and were practicing Tai Chi. They were neat and uniform, with flowing clouds and flowing water, without any fireworks, and it felt like they were out of the world.
"Master Ji, this is Master Tang Li, the martial arts prodigy who surpassed the others in the ancient martial arts exchange meeting and won the first prize in one fell swoop. He is more famous than meeting him. He is really restrained and shows his talent. Zhang Yiqing, a poor man, has met Master Tang."
In the reception room of the palace, a Taoist man and several people greeted Tang Li.
The Taoist has a clear face, a long beard, a slender figure, and wears a simple Taoist robe. He is peaceful and quiet.
He is the contemporary leader of the Wudang Sect, Zhang Yiqing.
"I've met Zhang Guanzhu." Tang Li returned the greeting.
Zhang Yiqing invited Tang Li to sit down and served him tea.
The fragrance of tea permeates the air.
Tang Li tasted tea, talked with Zhang Yiqing, and asked for advice on martial arts and Taoism.
The conversation was very pleasant.
"Nowadays, there are not many young people like Master Tang who are interested in martial arts and Taoism. If Master Tang is interested, you might as well stay in the temple for a few more days. There are some books in the temple. You can read them when you have time.
Maybe it will be beneficial to your practice."
Zhang Yiqing said.
"Thank you so much, Master."
Tang Li stayed in Wudang Mountain.
…
…
Time flies.
Day and night alternate.
Tang Li was in Wudang Mountain, reading and practicing Taoism.
The Wudang Sect has a long history, and the library also contains many ancient books and documents on Taoism, martial arts, and biographies.
For example, Zhang Sanfeng, the founder of Wudang.
Zhang Sanfeng is a legendary figure and a great master in the history of Chinese martial arts.
According to records in the book and verifiable records, Zhang Sanfeng lived at least more than 120 years. Even at the age of 100, he was still young-looking and energetic. At the same time, Zhang Sanfeng was also a martial arts wizard who was not seen in a century and rarely encountered an opponent in his life.
Founded a sect and founded Wudang. About this legendary sect
There are also various speculations and legends about Shi Shi's final whereabouts. Some say that he lived through several dynasties and lived for five hundred years before he died. Some say that he retired to seclusion, or even traveled overseas to seek the way of cultivation. Some even claim that,
This martial arts master became a saint through martial arts, punched through the void, and ascended to immortality.
Does the legend of Zhang Sanfeng prove that there is really a higher realm beyond martial arts?
Throughout the ages, there have been many legendary figures. What realms have they reached?
Tang Li couldn't help but think of the ancient martial arts exchange meeting.
In this exchange meeting
Many impressive martial arts talents have also emerged.
It is true that in today's world, Chuanwu is no longer as bright and prosperous as in the past.
But there is still a spark.
…
The morning light pours down.
In the mountains and forests, white mist fills the air, water drops are dripping on the branches and leaves, and the air is fresh and peaceful.
Tang Li stepped on the stone path.
He is not carrying any weight.
I didn’t even go for a morning jog or exercise.
Just quietly feel the mountains and rivers.
On the road, in the mountains and forests, you can often meet Taoists practicing boxing or sitting in meditation.
"Um?"
In a small forest, Tang Li suddenly stopped for a moment.
A Taoist was practicing his sword practice in the woods.
He is thin, wearing Taoist robes, sandals, hair tied in a bun, holding a wooden sword, and is practicing Tai Chi sword.
The sword's intention is continuous, like a round wheel.
The combination of hardness and softness.
The changes are endless.
This Taoist has already reached the state of transforming energy.
When he drew his sword, he brought up bursts of leaves, which lingered and danced as the sword moves changed, creating a mysterious and mysterious artistic conception.
A few moments later.
The Taoist put away his sword and stood up.
The leaves all around were floating and falling, then swirled and then slowly fell.
"It made fellow Taoists laugh."
When the Taoist saw Tang Li, he held his sword and saluted.
"The Taoist Master's Tai Chi sword is so perfect and has endless changes. I was fascinated by it for a moment. I apologize for my presumption," Tang Li said.
"You are Tang Li, Master Tang?" The Taoist looked at Tang Li and asked.
He seemed to know Tang Li too.
"Yeah." Tang Li nodded.
"Haha, I heard that Shi Ji mentioned you. Now, Master Tang is quite famous in the martial arts world." The Taoist put away his sword, bowed his head and said, "Wudang Chen Zhanping has met Master Tang."
"I've met Daochang Chen." Tang Li returned the greeting.
Looking at Tang Li, Chen Zhanping's eyes flashed slightly and he said, "I wonder if Master Tang is interested in practicing his skills?"
"oh?"
Tang Li raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this.
This Taoist Master Chen Zhanping is also a martial arts fanatic?
"Okay, then let's ask Taoist Master Chen for advice."
Tang Li also had a look of interest in his eyes and said.
"good."
Chen Zhanping shouted, opened the boxing frame, and changed from the gentle and upright practice of practicing Tai Chi sword. His body was low and his hands were flexed into claws, like a tiger, standing guard in the forest, waiting for an opportunity, which has a strong and vast meaning.
Wudang Tiger Claw Kung Fu!
Tang Li stretched out one hand and stretched his arms like a bird holding its tail.
