The Richest Man in the Heavens Starts from Outlaws of the Marsh

Chapter 167 On the Tao
Yu Lianzhou got out of control by asking his master's opinion on the pretext, but he was terrified in his heart and couldn't understand how such an unknown master appeared in the Jianghu, and he was still very young, and he didn't look much older than Zhang Wuji.

Back in the back hall, Zhang Sanfeng noticed that his complexion was not right before he could speak, so he asked, "Lianzhou, didn't the birthday banquet go well just now, why did his face change color?"

"Master, a master has come outside for some reason and wants to see the master." Yu Lianzhou said.

"A master? Is your martial arts higher than your uncle?" Zhang Wuji asked.

Although Yu Lianzhou was a bit embarrassed, she was an upright person. She nodded and said, "It's better than mine, and it's not just at 01:30."

"Lianzhou, what's going on?" Zhang Sanfeng asked.

Yu Lianzhou immediately explained what happened just now in detail, not even missing a single detail.

"Erxian Mountain? Du Boyang? These two names are so strange." Zhang Songxi said.

"I haven't heard of this name before. It stands to reason that someone who is so much more martial arts than my uncle must be a senior in the rivers and lakes like my ancestor. How could he be so young?" Zhang Wuji said.

Master Zhang, who has learned the Nine Suns Manual and the Great Shift of the Universe, thought that it would not be difficult to defeat his uncle Yu Lianzhou, but he couldn't do it if he wanted to approach him quietly and control him with one hand.

"Brother, how did this person get up the mountain?" Zhang Songxi asked.

"I seem to have a little impression that the man sent a jade carving of the birthday star to pay respects to the mountain." Yu Lianzhou suddenly remembered that she had seen this name when counting the gifts a few days ago.

"Oh, that's it. Then invite him to the back hall to talk." Zhang Sanfeng said.

"Master, the intentions of such a master are unknown...you have to be careful." Yin Liting said.

"It doesn't matter, the person who comes is a guest, what is the old man afraid of? Lianzhou, invite him here." Zhang Sanfeng said.

Although Yu Lianzhou was a little worried, she turned around and went out of the back hall to the main hall. She raised her eyes to see that Du Yu was waiting for him calmly and smiling.

"Hero Du, my master invites you to tell the story in the back room." Yu Lianzhou said.

"Please trouble Sect Leader Yu to lead the way," Du Yu said.

Yu Lianzhou turned around and made a gesture of invitation, and then led the way in front, and then came to a spacious living room after passing through the triple courtyard.

Du Yu entered the living room generously, looked around and then gave a Taoist bow to Zhang Sanfeng who was in the main seat.

"Boundless Heavenly Venerable, Daoist Zhang is being polite here." Du Yu said.

"Boundless Heavenly Venerable, isn't your Excellency also a Taoist disciple?" Zhang Sanfeng asked.

"To tell the truth, Master Zhang, I'm a half Taoist disciple." Du Yu said.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, fellow daoist, please sit down. But I haven't heard of Erxian Mountain, I wonder if you can introduce it." Zhang Sanfeng asked.

Immediately after Du Yu sat down, a Taoist boy came over to offer tea. He took a sip and smiled slightly, and said, "The inheritance of Erxian Mountain can be traced back to the Song Shenzong period. Authentic inheritance. It’s just that there are few disciples under the sect and they all practice in the deep mountains and never ask about world affairs, so very few people know about it.”

"It turns out that you are also a decent family. I don't know what you are talking about when you come to Wudang?" Zhang Sanfeng said quickly, not wanting to go around in circles.

"To put it simply, I went out to practice in the secular world. When I heard that Zhang Zhenren's martial arts attainments had reached the peak, I wanted to come here to ask for advice. It coincided with Zhenren's birthday, so I simply offered a gift to come to visit." Du Yu said.

"So you are here to discuss the Tao with the old man?" Zhang Sanfeng asked.

"Exactly. I just heard the real person talk about the theory of five virtues, and I felt a lot in my heart. I learned a lot from the combination of the cultivation methods in the sect. Therefore, I want to exchange and learn from the real person. I wonder if the real person will agree." Du Yu asked.

"Haha, it turns out fellow daoists are also interested in the theory of the unity of dao and martial arts. It seems that my dao is not alone." Zhang Sanfeng laughed.

Afterwards, the two began to talk about getting more and more speculative starting from Taoist gas extraction.

Zhang Sanfeng communicated with Du Yu one by one the essentials in "The Great Dao", "Xuan Yao Pian", "No Root Tree", "Song of Meditation", and "Straight Talking of Mysteries" compiled and drawn by him all his life.

Du Yu was not stingy, and explained the Taoist inner alchemy methods taught to him by Master Luo, such as refining qi to transform qi, refining qi to transform gods, refining gods to reverse emptiness, refining emptiness to combine Taoism and other theories one by one.

He also talked about his experience in the promotion and integration of martial arts when practicing Taoist inner alchemy, and the influence of the three cultivation methods of land, human, and heaven on the true qi of the dantian, and so on.

Du Yu's theory mostly comes from Luo Zhenren's professor and his own experience in practicing martial arts. Zhang Sanfeng's theory is more based on his life experience and understanding of Buddhism and Taoism.

The two chatted for days and nights, and Yu Lianzhou and others took turns to wait on the side. On the one hand, they took care of the master's body, and on the other hand, they also prevented the other party from having any malicious intentions.

While listening, they felt that they had learned a lot and even inspired their own martial arts, and gradually their impression of Du Yu improved.

A few days later, when the theoretical exchanges between the two were almost done, Du Yu proposed a few tricks with Zhang Sanfeng.

"Brother, it's not that I don't give you face. Look at my current grade and body, how can I compare with a young man like you? Let's forget about the martial arts competition. If you are skilled, you can compete with my disciple Zhang Wuji After a few tricks, he is a martial arts genius and needs your advice." Zhang Sanfeng said.

On the one hand, Yu Lianzhou, Zhang Songxi and others had black lines on their faces after hearing this, and complained in their hearts that their master was old and disrespectful. They were old enough to be Du Yu's parents, but their master was like his brother and younger brother, which made them feel quite embarrassed.

However, after hearing Du Yu talk about cultivation for so many days, they had no choice but to obey, and often secretly lamented that a teacher is one who has never learned first.

"It's a pity that I can't compete with Brother Zhang, but I can do a few tricks with Master Zhang." Du Yu said.

Zhang Wuji was also shot while lying down, but in his heart he was still willing to compete with masters. After all, with his current martial arts, it would be difficult to find an opponent of comparable strength, let alone someone stronger than him.

"Senior, please advise." Zhang Wuji bowed his hands and said.

Du Yu shook his head and said, "Master Zhang, you and I have different opinions. I wonder if you still remember Sister Yang in the tomb of the living dead at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain?"

"Of course this junior remembers, how come senior is familiar with Sister Yang?" Zhang Wuji asked.

"It's not just acquaintance, she is my wife now. So we can address each other as brothers, and there is no need to be formal." Du Yu said.

"Sister Yang is senior's wife, so I want to call senior..." Zhang Wuji said.

"Just call me brother-in-law. In fact, the real person also has friendship with Yang Guo, the ancestor of the Yang family, and it is not an exaggeration to say that we are a family." Du Yu said.

"My brother is right. Hero Yang's demeanor back then is still impressive to this day. Wudang and Emei have not received the favor of Hero Yang." Zhang Sanfeng said.

"A real person is a family. After the fight with Brother Zhang, I have something to ask." Du Yu said.

"Okay, let's talk about it after the competition." Zhang Sanfeng said.

Du Yu really wanted to compete with Zhang Sanfeng on this trip, but the old man was right. He is almost 120 years old and it is really inappropriate to use martial arts, but it is okay to fight Zhang Wuji. The top group in the Yitian world can prove their strength just as well as fighting against him.

Thinking of this, he stopped talking about tidying up his clothes and came to the martial arts arena.

Zhang Wuji was not indecisive except when facing women, so he immediately jumped into the arena and made an eagle-claw grabbing hand.

Du Yu was also polite, and used the Quanzhen School's Big Dipper Seven Styles to fight him.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The fists and palms of the two sides made a dull sound, and both of them lamented the strength of the other's inner strength.

After a series of probing moves, the two sides fought faster and faster, using all kinds of martial arts moves, not limited to routines.

While fighting, Zhang Wuji found that the opponent's true energy was majestic, yin and yang were successive and endless, but he always had a familiar feeling.

Seeing his frown, Du Yu smiled and said, "Brother Zhang, you are not the only one who can use the Nine Suns Manual."

Zhang Wuji was very surprised, but considering that the other party's inheritance even came from a hundred years ago, it doesn't seem surprising that he knows the Nine Suns Manual.
