The moonlight shines brightly across the earth, and the branches of ancient trees cover the sky.
The cold wind pushed through, splitting and breaking among the thousands of branches, letting out howls of pain, and then gathered together behind the tree, running towards the city to the south.
It was bone-chilling, it was late autumn. For the three people whose Taoist skills had gradually improved, this coldness was not a problem.
Gongsun Zhenren smiled and said: "Chong Lingzi, this is just the effect of Yang Yuan Qi transported to the legs. When your Taoist skills reach the level of refining Qi and transforming into gods, you will naturally be able to do it. Wu Tianshi came with me tonight, but I wanted to watch.
The two of us have sword intentions, and I hope you will do your best and don’t let him down."
Yang Zhaoxi nodded: "Don't worry, Master, I will treat it as a life and death fight, and I will never be lazy in the slightest."
Gongsun Zhenren casually spun the wooden sword into several sword flowers, hung them by his side, and said calmly: "Draw out the sword."
When Yang Chaoxi heard the sound, he moved and thrust his sword straight into the middle palace. He used the "Sudden Wind and Wave" move in the "New Lotus Remnant Dream Sword".
This move seems to be a sudden attack without warning. It is most suitable for surprise attacks. However, if you abandon the force and use it, it will contain hidden energy. If you hit the target, the hidden energy inside will be like a torrent of waves, urging you to move forward.
Enter the enemy.
Gongsun Zhenren twisted his sword and withdrew it to the side and back. The layers of dark energy hit the empty space, and Yang Chaoxi's armpits and half of his body were freed.
However, Gongsun Zhenren did not take advantage of the victory to pursue him. Instead, he lightly tapped Yang Chaoxi's left shoulder with his sword. Yang Chaoxi felt a soft and strong force penetrate through his shoulder, trying to knock him to the ground. Then a "Butterfly Turn Qing Rui"
", turned his body sideways and somersaulted, and relieved the strong force. Then he took advantage of the turning force, flicked the wooden sword in his hand, and thrust it under Gongsun Zhenren's neck, and used another move "Fish Leap on the Lotus Bottom".
But it was a sneak attack that turned a disadvantage into an offensive.
Gongsun Zhenren stepped on the ground and retreated slightly. The wooden sword in his right hand drew a short arc, but it came later and was about to cut off the five fingers of Yang Chaoxi holding the sword.
Although Yang Chaoxi knew that this was a method of "surrounding Wei and rescuing Zhao", the situation was already passive, so he decisively withdrew this move and turned into a challenge, so that he could block this gentle slash.
Gongsun Zhenren didn't hesitate, he also charged forward with his sword, the tip of the sword shook up and down, and three more sword flowers appeared in an instant, but he didn't know where he wanted to stab upward, in the middle, or down.
Yang Chaoxi's heart felt slightly cold, and he hurriedly retreated. However, he only heard a "bang" sound, and there was a pain in the back of his head and shoulders, but he accidentally hit an ancient tree. However, Gongsun Zhenren's sword power did not stop, and he wanted to
Pushing yourself hard.
Yang Zhaoxi had no way out, so he panicked and used one of the "Storm of Wind and Rain" moves in "The Falling Rain Jingqiu Sword". He actually stabbed back and forth, and in just one breath, several sword shadows exploded. Most of them
The sword shadow failed, but some of it still hit the three sword flowers, weakening the indistinguishable offensive.
Gongsun Zhenren softly shouted "Okay", but the sword moves in his hand became faster and faster. The continuous arcs were thrown out one after another, gradually winding up into a sticky spider web and covering Yang Chaoxi.
Yang Chaoxi's swordsmanship has changed again. The sad and decisive sword moves in "Lao Yan Fen Fei Sword" no longer have any lingering meaning. Instead, they exchange injuries for injuries and life for lives. It seems that they are extremely desperate for this world.
.
However, Gongsun Zhenren did not seek a quick victory. After a fierce struggle, this desperate sword intention was loosened. Yang Chaoxi also became uncomfortable with the killing move in his hand.
When you are at your limit, you want to change. Yang Chaoxi just had a craving for skills, so he tried the three newly learned sword techniques. As expected, it was difficult to defeat Gongsun Zhenren's sword power of softness over hardness. So he changed his sword techniques again, but he was already the same as Gongsun Zhenren.
The same "Gongsun Swordsmanship" as a real person.
The two of them used their clumsiness to match their skill, and used crooked strikes to hit the straight. When the two swords clashed, the sound of "bang bang, bang bang" was heard endlessly, but they rarely used killing moves that directly hit the opponent's vital points. They seemed to be just calm and calm moves.
However, only bystanders like Wu Tianshi can see that the two men's swordsmanship is evenly matched, and they also know the dangers involved. If either of the two is relaxed and the sword moves are slow, the other will hit the vital point directly and kill him with one blow.
Yang Chaoxi knew that his cultivation was still shallow. Even if he relied on Taoist skills to support him, he was still far inferior to the strong Yang Yuan Qi of Zhenren Gongsun. So his sword intention changed again, and he integrated the "Pei Min Sword Intent" he had realized into his sword moves, and in the dense
Zhirou's Gongsun swordsmanship added a hint of free and easy domineering. The subsequent attack and defense of the sword immediately inspired him.
Gongsun Zhenren nodded slightly, but his sword moves were a little faster, and the actual sword body was almost invisible. When he turned around and waved his hand, all he could see was the afterimage of the light curtain brought out by the wooden sword.
"Chi! Chi, chi!" The acquired energy in Yang Chaoxi's body had already seeped out from his pores and gathered on the wooden sword in his hand, making a strange sound when he swung it.
However, Gongsun Zhenren only stingily drew out a trace of Yang Yuan Qi and melted it into the sword body, and the sound he made was even more terrifying than Yang Chaoxi.
The two of them fought for a long time, and then Yang Chaoxi suddenly struck with a violent slash, hitting Gongsun Zhenren where he could not avoid. Gongsun Zhenren raised his sword to block, but the two wooden swords could no longer withstand it and both broke.
Come on. The fight lasted for nearly a stick of incense before it had to stop.
Yang Chaoxi put away the broken sword with his backhand, bowed his hands to Gongsun Zhenren and said: "The master of the temple remains unchanged and adapts to all changes. This disciple has received a lesson today."
Gongsun Zhenren waved his sleeves, and the wooden sword in his hand disappeared without a trace: "Chong Lingzi, you are young after all. Even though you are familiar with many sword moves and sword intentions, you still can't use them like your arms and fingers. If
After ten years, if I face you again, I will no longer be sure of victory."
Yang Zhaoxi then bowed his hands and bowed again, and said curiously: "Master, your robe sleeve's Taoist saying of 'coming when you call it, and going away when you wave it' is really superb! It means that everything can be changed, and everything can be changed.
come out?"
Gongsun Zhenren said with a smile: "This is not a Taoist method! It is a trick used by entertainers to deceive people. It is called 'The Universe in the Sleeve'. When I was as old as you, I was most interested in these.
Later, by chance, I learned this skill. Smaller items such as knives, swords, whisks, etc. can be hidden, but larger items such as Guandao, snake spears, and painted halberds cannot be hidden no matter what. If you
If you want to learn, I will teach you the secret someday."
When Wu Tianshi saw the fight between the two ended, he also came over with a smile: "Brother Xuantong's swordsmanship is both clumsy and simple. He has reached the state of perfection. The skills he uses in his casual slashes are all condensed from thousands of complicated moves.
Given your age, there is nothing surprising about this. It’s just that with this style of play, it’s easy to be undefeated, but if you want to win and break through, you always lack some indomitable fierceness.”
Gongsun Zhenren said with a smile: "Sure enough, to be old and not to die is to be a thief! Your martial arts skills are mediocre, but your vision is vicious. My Gongsun's swordsmanship was not like this at the beginning. Even though it is exquisite and sharp, it still has shortcomings.
.I have been practicing Taoism for many years, and gradually added some insights into it, and changed the concept of swordsmanship, so it looks like what you see in front of you."
Wu Tianshi stroked his white beard and didn't pay attention to his ridicule: "The old Taoist looked at it and had some different opinions. I personally think that your sword power is inferior to that of my little friend.
.”
Gongsun Zhenren didn't mind and said with a smile: "Why did you fall into the inferior position? I would like to hear the details!"
When Wu Tianshi spoke, there was already a hint of reproach: "When you were young, you traveled to various places and defeated all parties. You saw many people's martial arts skills, and you were able to take their subtleties and turn them into your own use. This skill is also experienced by an experienced Taoist.
I admire you. But after you became a Taoist scholar, you almost never went down the mountain, and you don’t know much about the evolution of martial arts and martial arts among various schools in the world.
And you integrated what you saw when you were young with your Taoist experience, and behind closed doors you created the 'Cuiyun Dao Kung' and improved the 'Gongsun Sword Technique'. As far as the Taoist sect is concerned, although it can be said to be a great achievement,
But what is the difference between this and the generous articles written by old Confucian scholars who read the classics and excerpted chapters and sentences?"
Gongsun Zhenren looked solemn: "What Tianshi Wu said is indeed what I am ashamed of! I studied Taoism when I was young and became a naturalized practitioner in my middle age. I originally had the idea of escaping from the world. Since I choose to escape, I must be in a corner of my heart to focus on everything.
Things, then I feel that they are out of sight and are pure.
If it hadn't been for the subsequent wars and disasters, I couldn't bear to see the people being slaughtered, so I angrily joined forces with fellow Taoist Changyuan. I'm afraid that by now, I'd be just a mediocre Taoist priest who eats fast, chants sutras, and hoards some incense and incense in order to live a long life.
stop!"
Wu Tianshi sighed: "It is better to travel around the world than to read thousands of books. Among the people I know well, there are quite amazing and talented people, such as Li Taibai, who is good at poetry and swordsmanship. He is also a Taoist monk. He has traveled abroad for many years, although he has never
He concentrates on enlightenment, but his swordsmanship far exceeds that of others, because he never leaves his hand with the sword, and always has enlightenment in the thin line between life and death. Therefore, in cultivating Taoism and practicing martial arts, one must always put what he has learned into practice. What can he say about being wise if he cannot be used by others?
"
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little solemn, Yang Zhaoxi said, "Fellow Daoist Wu, I know about Li Taibai. Master Chang Yuan once told me about him, 'Kill a man in ten steps and leave no trace in a thousand miles'! It's just that he had done it a few years ago.
If he is no longer alive, if he is willing to concentrate on practicing Taoism and not take drugs randomly, he can at least live to the age of the master. So "survive" is the way to victory. Even if he is amazingly talented and beautiful, if he dies young,
It will only make people sigh."
Wu Tianshi laughed: "My little friend's idea is wonderful, and it fits the meaning of 'immortality and immortality'! Even an experienced Taoist can't argue with you. It's understandable that you want to protect your temple leader. But there are some truths, let's talk about it.
After a while, it won’t hurt the harmony. My little friend, you are worrying too much!”
Gongsun Zhenren also smiled and said: "Chong Lingzi, Wu Tianshi is loyal and sincere. As the master of Yiguan, you disciples have always respected me and dare not disobey me. However, many of my honest words of advice can no longer be heard."
.Now that he is willing to speak out and point out the problem, I am very grateful."
Wu Tianshi said again: "Little friend, although you are young, in a short fight, you can cut as you please, without sticking to the rules, your sword moves are changeable, and your sword intention comes out one after another! I watched the 'Gongsun Sword Technique' you used,
Compared with brother Xuantong, it is more refreshing.
The old Taoist has nothing to do lately, and he will be here for a while. Children can come to see me after school, watch the stars, look at the qi, perform Taoist martial arts, exorcise evil spirits and catch ghosts... If you are willing to learn what the old Taoist can do, you can learn it.
It's up to you. I just hope that in the future, you can truly master hundreds of martial arts, learn from their strengths, and carry forward my practice."
Gongsun Zhenren patted Wu Tianshi on the back and said with a smile: "It's getting late today, let's all go back and have a rest. If there's anything we haven't said to our heart's content, we can talk about it tomorrow, and it'll be the same thing."
After hearing this, Tianshi Wu smiled, stretched out his finger, and nodded at Gongsun Zhenren: "No matter what, no matter what, the future is long! As we practice Taoism, we can't rush for success. My little friend! Let's look back." Yang Chaoxi also nodded and smiled.
, followed the two of them.
At this time, the bright moon was in the sky, the wind and clouds dispersed, and the five-color light glowed around the moon. The ancient tree was left behind by the three people, and gradually became smaller on the dark night peak.
