The sun sets at midday, then gradually sets towards the west, and the day gradually turns into a red sun. The two figures stand motionless, like two stone statues, still staring quietly.
Silence seems to have become eternity between heaven and earth.
Zhong Ling yawned and asked, "Then will they keep waiting like this?"
They were all depressed by this unusual atmosphere in the audience, as if they could feel more at ease if they talked to Wang Yuyan more.
Wang Yuyan said: "When masters compete, the outcome may only be determined in an instant, but it may be a long time to wait for this opportunity."
Zhong Ling let out a long breath and said: "If this continues, wouldn't it be more boring than ordinary duels between warriors? Ah Zi is right."
Wang Yuyan sighed: "No matter what kind of duel, it is never an interesting thing. Take a closer look at them."
Zhong Ling, A Zi and the other girls stared at Gu Chaoci and the old monk, looking back and forth at them several times, but they still shook their heads and asked: "What?"
Wang Yuyan did not answer, because her eyes were fixed on a small bird, and there was a look of sympathy in her beautiful eyes.
The bird flew out from nowhere and slowly flew between Gu Chaoci and the old monk.
I saw the old monk clasping his palms together and bowing his head to Gu Chaoci: "You are blaspheming!"
Gu Chaoci also didn't expect that the old monk was so powerful that he would play this trick with him. He couldn't help but said: "Master, if you want to win with this, then I'm leaving!"
Zhong Ling interjected: "Does endurance and luck count?"
Gu Chaoci and the old monk couldn't decide the winner, so naturally they didn't want to give up. With a snort, they waved their palms and soared into the sky, smashing through the top of the platform before the entire platform collapsed.
On its own, this palm move is extremely ordinary, but when used in the hands of the old monk, it carries a power that no one can ignore. His palm power is like an undercurrent.
Wang Yuyan shook her head and said: "It cannot be said that it is your brother-in-law's power, but two."
But he also wanted to have a good fight with him, so he had to follow him all the way. When he reached a flat place in the forest, the old monk stopped.
Not only was it not shattered, but it hung in the air as if it was full of magic power. It also hung between the eyes of Gu Chaoci and the old monk, naturally blocking their sight.
Although he was old, he was no longer as vigorous as a young man. He flew toward Gu Chaoci like an eagle, his right index finger thrust out in the air, like a spiritual snake returning to its body.
This move was not as thrilling as the old monk's move. It was like the early morning sunshine shining silently on the earth without making any movement.
Gu Chaoci's foot fell, and this situation was quite dangerous. Although he was usually conceited, he also knew that the old monk's powerful methods were not limited to this. In this case, he naturally did not dare to forcefully attack, and his left hand turned into a destructive divine claw, and with a click, he circled
She passed the old monk's palm and wrapped it around his wrist.
Ah Zi suddenly said: "Sister, did you see that the old monk wanted to take action?"
The old monk laughed loudly and said, "Father, don't be impatient!" He turned around like a flying light in the middle and west of the barren mountain, but never took action again.
Wang Yuyan paused and said, "That's not necessarily the case."
He was in mid-air, with the sound of wind above his head. The old monk also sank, and struck another palm in the air, which came like thunder and lightning.
Ah Zi blinked and said: "It was the old monk's power that got him popped out, and it was my brother-in-law's power that made him burnt."
Zhong Ling clicked his tongue and then came back to his senses and said: "If I hadn't seen this little butterfly turned into powder, who would have known that the people around them were so scary!"
Ah Zi bit her lip and said, "So in your opinion, my brother-in-law will lose in this battle?"
Gu Chaoci snorted coldly: "It's very nice here, please!"
But I also know that if I act like this, I won’t be convinced!
Shaolin Zhuxuan, who was the closest, couldn't help but shudder. The momentum of this palm was unparalleled, and he felt that a giant tree in the mountain could be knocked down with just one push, let alone a human being of flesh and blood.
With this palm strike, it seemed that only death could quell this thunderous blow.
Gu Chaoci saw the old monk taking long strides, as if he was walking on a high level. After walking a few steps, he entered the Shaolin Temple. He chased after him while his figure was shaking. A voice came from far away: "Thirty-six holes,
The people of the Seventy-Two Islands are waiting here! Anyone who dares to do anything without mercy will be killed without mercy!"
She had been concerned about Gu Chaoci since the confrontation with the old monk, fearing that Gu Chaoci was young and energetic and had not yet experienced a defeat. He would attack rashly and lose instead, seeking glory instead of humiliation.
Before he finished speaking, there was a sudden sound like thunder, the high platform collapsed, dust scattered everywhere, and the people who were close could not help but retreat one after another.
The power of this palm could even be felt by Wang Yuyan and Duan Yu, who were a hundred steps away, and other masters with deep inner strength. The faces of all the heroes changed in horror.
Zhong Ling nodded and said: "Not bad."
But all the bluestones, dust, and sawdust were pulled by the wind of Gu Chaoci's palm and gathered together, swirling around him like a tornado.
But in front of everyone, she couldn't help, so she could only express her own opinions as a bystander through the mouths of Ah Zi and Zhong Ling.
When the girls saw many eyes directed at them, Azi simply pretended to be innocent and happy, and said: "Sister, brother-in-law and this old man are such peerless masters that they have already mastered the word 'stable' in martial arts."
Everyone saw the old monk and Gu Chaoci entering the Shaolin Temple one behind the other. They wanted to follow up and see how the two would win or lose, but they were stunned after hearing this.
Wang Yuyan shook her head and said: "Although Master is old, this disadvantage will not show up in a short time. If any master has reached the peak of martial arts, the speed of his attacks and reaction speed will not differ much, and
How can it be the key to victory?"
Zhong Ling suddenly blinked his eyes and said, "But I think the winner in this battle must be my brother-in-law."
"There are many factors that ultimately determine the outcome of a master versus an enemy, and martial arts is certainly one of the most important factors. But in addition, the wisdom of adapting to situations, the ability to observe everything, the courage to be fearless of life and death, and the belief in victory
Will, extraordinary endurance, and even luck can all be factors that affect victory or defeat."
Ah Zi's eyes shone with excitement and she said, "I understand. The reason why the old man hasn't taken action yet is because he can't tell the depth of his brother-in-law's martial arts, and he's not sure about it."
The distance between him and the old monk was, at least, three feet, and this palm would not hit him hard no matter what.
With a "bang" sound, the bluestone turned into debris all over the sky and fell around Gu Chaoci. The old monk's finger force continued to stab, and Gu Chaoci's soft strength suddenly changed into the fierce force of the Dragon Subduing Palm, chopping hard.
past.
Wang Yuyan raised her eyebrows and said, "Oh?"
For a moment, gravel, dust, and remaining leaves gathered into a barrier, pushing towards Gu Chaoci.
Fighting against Gu Chaoci was like fighting against a Shaoshi Mountain. The old monk was like a ghost, coming and going when he wanted, everywhere in all directions, causing trouble for him. Even though he was not defeated for the time being, he spent so much time.
The mind is strong, but it also shows signs of failure.
Zhong Ling stuck out his tongue and said, "Of course I will be shocked."
Gu Chaoci saw the old monk walking straight towards the back hill of Shaolin Temple and pursued him. He was young after all, and the old monk didn't want to compete with him in Qinggong, so he quickly caught up with him.
Zhong Ling said in surprise: "Then what is the key to victory?"
Almost at the same moment when the old monk took action, Gu Chaoci smiled brightly and said: "Master, you're welcome!" He held his hands in a virtual gesture and responded with a gesture, forming the "Eighteen Palms of Subduing the Dragon" with both strength and softness.
"Bingzhi", he pressed his hands repeatedly and used gentle strength to dissolve most of the old monk's palm power.
Unexpectedly, when Gu Chaoci sent out his palm, the high platform made a loud roar, and several wooden pillars broke. The high platform was about to collapse.
There was a "click" sound, and the bluestone slab on the high platform burst into pieces, turning into a rain of thousands of stones, as big as a tree and as small as a fist, rising into the sky.
When the old monk saw Gu Chaoci's move, his eyes sparkled, he secretly admired it, and his figure flew into the air.
An expression that shouldn't appear, a superfluous movement, or even a deviation in thinking may determine the outcome. If you lose your composure and make a mistake, your opponent will naturally seize the opportunity."
Since Gu Chaoci practiced the Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms, he has never been inferior in palm strength, and he secretly admires him in his heart.
Wang Yuyan nodded and said: "That's right! Stability is the most difficult part of martial arts to practice. Anyone who can practice martial arts to the word 'stable' can be regarded as a first-rate master."
This applause was as powerful as an axe, like the sky was falling and the earth was falling. The momentum was precise and fierce, and the sound was like thunder falling.
She suddenly stopped talking, because the silence around Gu Chaoci and the old monk seemed to have become eternal. But at this time, a gust of wind suddenly blew in front of the Shaolin Temple, which was exactly what she said: Nothing in the world remains unchanged.
Wang Yuyan said: "Yes, so do you think luck is very important?"
Although Gu Chaoci was in confrontation with the old monk, he still heard these words clearly, so he naturally knew his wife's intentions.
The old monk let out a sigh, retracted his right palm, and struck out with his left palm.
Wang Yuyan said: "That's not entirely correct..."
Her eyes were shining as she said: "As long as he is distracted, his opponent will have the opportunity to kill him."
Then he suddenly murmured: "But if this is true, I'm afraid it won't just be the high platform that will be destroyed."
When the old monk saw the momentum of Gu Chaoci's attack, he did not dare to take advantage of him even though he was in mid-air. He put his hand on a wooden frame and spun away before he could counterattack smoothly.
…
"Martial arts are all at their peak, and the most skilled masters are in a stalemate. It all depends on who can keep calm. This is the word "stable".
Zhong Ling sighed and said: "It is extremely important." Suddenly he added: "In this case, it is not easy to win a duel, because no matter who wants to defeat the opponent in these aspects at the same time, it is definitely not the same thing.
Easy thing."
The word "please" came out of his mouth and struck out with a palm.
This palm struck him on the shoulder. The wind from the palm seemed to be ejected from a blast furnace, and the touch felt as if it was hot. The palm even covered the old monk's figure. No matter how he dodged, it was already too late to escape.
There was a "bang" sound, and the two palms met. Gu Chaoci suddenly felt that the opponent's palm was as strong as a mountain. There was a loud noise under his feet, the stone slabs on the high platform shattered, and he fell down involuntarily.
He stepped on the ground and used his strength. Before the old monk landed, he shouted loudly, made a stroke with his left palm, and pushed out with his right hand. It was exactly the "Exalted Dragon Has Regret" in the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms. The palm power was as overwhelming as a mountain and an ocean.
out.
The old monk was startled when he saw him using his palms to strike. Fearing that he would be overwhelmed by the power of his fingers, he quickly retracted his fingers and turned his palms, thrust his force into his palms, and struck out lightly with his palms. He changed his moves so quickly, but immediately issued a blow.
Mastered the Prajna Palm technique.
All Shaolin mystics chanted Amitabha Buddha together.
Zhong Ling was shocked, covered his mouth and said: "By then, will the entire high platform be destroyed?"
But he struck out with his palm and followed it with his body. Once the light skill of "Swallow Three Copies of Water" was performed, he reached behind the old monk with only one ups and downs, and the distance between the two sides suddenly shrunk to within arm's reach.
Gu Chaoci thought that the old monk probably wanted to tell himself that in a real life-and-death fight, he would have a better chance of winning if he had the right location!
It can be said to be as quiet as the waves in the river and sea, and as moving as the thunderous thunder.
A trace of fear could not help but appear in Ah Zi's bright black eyes, and she said, "Will my brother-in-law be defeated by this old man?" There seemed to be a hint of worry in her voice.
Wang Yuyan nodded and said: "Maybe."
He paused and then said: "As for luck, if something suddenly falls on your head when you are concentrating on the enemy, what will happen to you?"
Zhong Ling and Mei Lan Zhu Ju nodded at the same time: "Yes, yes."
Zhong Ling said in a daze: "Is it a duel between masters? Is it a competition between who can wait better?"
The dead leaves on the ground were blown by the soothing wind of the twelfth lunar month and fell like snow flakes between Gu Chaoci and the old monk. Most of them turned into yellow powder in an instant.
There are green pines and strange rocks everywhere on Shaoshi Mountain. The old monk has been a monk in Shaolin Temple for many years. Every plant and tree is in his heart. He follows the situation and merges with all things, leaving no trace behind.
Zhong Ling, A Zi, Mei Lan Zhu Ju are also very perceptive people, and they seem to know Wang Yuyan's intentions. As soon as she finished speaking, she immediately said in unison: "Sure?" She has a talent for making jokes.
Wang Yuyan was stunned for a long time, took a long breath, but could not speak.
Under the sun, this whirlwind was swinging back and forth, and everyone looked at this blue whirlpool with frightened expressions.
Gu Chaoci was about to raise his right palm to dismantle it, but suddenly he felt a shock in his back, which turned out to have hit the beam supporting the high platform. In panic, he suddenly shrank his body and used his back to break the pillar.
The old monk and the Shaolin Zhuxuan also understood it, but they were all masters in martial arts, and no one interrupted a woman's speech. Instead, they secretly admired Wang Yuyan for his broad knowledge.
As he spoke, he "huhuhu" his palms out one after another, and his palm power surged in all directions. When the old monk's palm power came into contact, he felt that the strength was like a mountain, making it difficult to penetrate deeply.
Zhong Ling said: "This master looks like he is eighty if not a hundred. His physical strength and reflexes are definitely not as good as those of my brother-in-law. In a competition between masters, his reaction is not as fast as my brother-in-law, so how can he defeat the enemy? So in this battle, he will definitely lose."
undoubtedly."
But at this moment, two figures that were standing still suddenly moved.
Wang Yuyan said solemnly: "Let's see who makes the move more steadily."
This is exactly the invisible finger power pointed out by Shaolin's "One Finger Zen" stunt. Although the finger power is intangible and invisible to the naked eye, his halberd finger is a sword, and it is like holding a long sword in his hand.
The force was like a sharp cone and sharp thorns, penetrating the wind in Gu Chaoci's palm.
Wang Yuyan looked at the old monk intently and shook her head: "No."
The two figures separated and then reunited, their fists and feet were flying like lightning, it was almost impossible to look closely at them, and they were fighting indistinguishably.
She knew very well that Gu Chaoci was not sure of victory. It would be better if no one was watching.
At this moment, Wang Yuyan's breathing almost stopped.
Wang Yuyan said: "The area within a few feet of them is filled with invisible forces that are fighting each other. Now these two forces restrict each other and have reached a state of balance. If one force overwhelms the other,
Only then will you find a more terrifying place."
Zhong Ling, A Zi, and Mei Lan Zhu Ju also knew this truth. Many people around them noticed something strange and thought: "Good guy, this is naked cheating. You might as well get involved together!"
Wang Yuyan snorted: "That's natural. But there is still a difference. In terms of physical strength and speed of attack, Master is certainly not as good as Gu Lang, but in terms of stability of attack, Master is definitely still above Gu Lang.
His skill is at least a dozen times greater than that of Gu Lang, so it will be easier for him to fight."
Just a few feet away from the center of the two people, the flying bird seemed to have hit an invisible high wall and was ejected. However, the bird could not fly more than an inch, and there was a "chi" sound, and it seemed like
It fell on a hot iron plate and instantly turned into a ball of black smoke, dissipating between the sky and the earth, and a smell of meat wafted around it.
Wang Yuyan nodded slightly.
This bow is the "boy worshiping Guanyin" in Buddhism. On the surface, it appears to be a salute to Gu Chaoci. In fact, it contains the old monk's decades of skill and is a very powerful killer move.
The old monk said: "Father, follow me!" As he spoke, the green shadow flashed, resembling a swimming dragon, passing through the audience with lightning, and suddenly the green shadow disappeared.
Along with a gentle rustling sound, the dead leaves on the ground were also rolled up. At this scene, even the heaven and earth seemed unable to bear the death-like silence and breathed a sigh of relief.
Everyone's eyes widened with disbelief. One of the leaves happened to fall between the old monk and Gu Chaoci, neither far nor too close to them.
Wang Yuyan was thoughtful and understood his intention in an instant. The corners of her mouth raised with a knowing smile, thinking to herself: "Gu Lang is always so steady!"
Wang Yuyan nodded and said: "Of course it must be counted."
Wang Yuyan sighed: "It is never easy to achieve perfection in anything. What's more, when a master of martial arts confronts an enemy, if he loses a move accidentally, he may lose his fame for a lifetime, or his life at worst.
, how could it be easy?”
Wang Yuyan smiled slightly and said: "Even if you are a calm person, even if you are not surprised, you will definitely be distracted by it, right?"
The girls stared blankly at the place where the birds disappeared. After a long time, Ah Zi asked: "This power comes from the hands of my brother-in-law. Whoever gets close will die?"
Unexpectedly, after he slapped the palm, the old monk smiled and said: "Does the layman have to defeat the old monk before he can give up?"
He was talking and joking, but before he turned around, he flicked his right palm lightly and casually greeted Gu Chaoci's palm.
"Don't dare!" Gu Chaoci also smiled: "You can defeat me too!"
When the two of them were talking, their palms were intersecting, and the old monk felt that Gu Chaoci's palm was like a red-hot iron, and there was a strong suction coming from it.
