Knife splashing

Chapter 351: The Taoist Master Wang Jingxiu

The enemy was defeated in one move, and the whole place was silent.

Except for Wu Ba, everyone else was still eating and chewing with big mouthfuls of food.

Afterwards, footsteps were heard outside the main hall. It turned out to be the disciple who had been thrown out just now, walking back.

Although he was not injured, his face was as red as charcoal.

After seeing this, Zhang Xiaoshan sneered, "Zhang Yingqiong, now you know why I don't let you go out to escort the convoy. With your show-off attitude all day long, you will die once you leave Wudang Mountain!"

"Hurry up, Brother Li is on his way here and will go up the mountain tomorrow. He doesn't have time to play with you bunch of rubbish..."

This old man is still the same, with a foul mouth.

These words made Zhang Yingqiong wish she could crawl into the ground, and although the others looked unhappy, they also became cautious.

"Zhang Yushan, please give me some advice, Young Master Li."

Another person stood up and walked to the front of the hall. He had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a much more stable temperament. He respectfully clasped his fists towards Li Yan.

He has seen that Li Yan's practical experience is far richer than theirs, and his skills are higher, so there is basically no hope for them to win.

But in the current situation, it is no longer a question of winning or losing.

The old ancestor asked someone to help them. If they were beaten to pieces like chickens and dogs, the Zhang family would not be able to save their reputation.

At least, you have to fight back and forth and hold on for a few more moves.

Thinking of this, he made a starting move of stepping forward with both palms inserted, drawing circles with his feet, obviously intending to proceed steadily and cautiously.

Seeing that Li Yan was still in that lazy look, the man took a step forward and punched Li Yan's ribs directly under his armpit.

He was using the Wudang Xuan Gong Fist, which had a simple and unpretentious style and was good at actual combat. Although he seemed to be attacking with his hands, he actually mainly used leg techniques.

As long as Li Yan blocks, he can step forward and kick sideways.

There was no hope of winning, but as long as they could hit Li Yan once, even if it made the opponent retreat, it would not be a shame.

However, facing the attack on his ribs, Li Yan didn't even look at it. He just suddenly raised his palm and then slapped it directly.

Call ~
The wind was whistling, and Zhang Yushan felt as if a hill was pressing down on his head, making it hard for him to breathe, so he had to withdraw his attack and block.

However, the pressure above my head is all a sham.

Bang!
Before he could react, he was kicked in the chest and rolled twice on the ground. Although he was not seriously injured, he looked very embarrassed.

"what?"

Zhang Xiaoshan was a little surprised, "Boy, there's something wrong with your Pi Gua. You can actually use your strength to overpower others. Who taught you that?"

Li Yan smiled and said, "I have made some progress recently."

In the Lianxin Hall of Baotong Zen Temple, he broke through the barrier and gained more benefits than just the integrity of his mind.

Fighting with his own clone, the opponent knew all his weaknesses and all the hidden dangers left from his training. Li Yan had no power to fight back and was almost collapsed by the beating.

He barely got through by using some tricks.

During the period of seclusion near Liangzi Lake, Li Yan focused on resolving all flaws and hidden dangers.

Of course, these things aren't all bad.

No matter whether they are flaws or hidden dangers, they are habits formed from long-term boxing practice and experience in fighting against the enemy.

Where there are habits, there are flaws.

With Li Yan's current skills and experience, he is still far from reaching the realm of martial arts mastery, unbridled imagination, and the realm of antelope hanging on horns.

What we can do is to target these loopholes and come up with corresponding back-ups, so as to turn these loopholes into dangers when being targeted by the enemy.

During this period, his Immortal Seal technique also improved.

The foundation of the Immortal Seal is to use the divine movement technique to take advantage of the momentum, split the force that has entered the body, and then release it at the same time.

The force changes rapidly, and when you are fighting an enemy, the enemy will not give you time to transform. If you want to use it in actual combat, you must be fast.

Therefore, the key to this method lies in instinct.

Just like when a person touches a flame and feels the burning pain, he will immediately withdraw his hand; when his feet slip, he will instinctively want to maintain his balance.

The Immortal Seal can only be used in actual combat once it becomes an instinct.

This thing requires long-term practice. Li Yan just barely got started, but during this period, he gained new insights.

Since we can take advantage of the situation, why can't we create our own situation?
There are two kinds of Qi, Gang and Sha, between heaven and earth. They rise and fall, and due to various changes, they form the "situation" and "trend", which is the foundation of all magic.

The changes in boxing techniques can create momentum.

This kind of thing was originally beyond his comprehension due to his age and experience, but through the Refining Heart Pavilion, he was able to come into contact with this realm in advance.

When you start with the Pi Gua Palm move, you will have the power of Yin and Yang, Five Elements and Eight Trigrams.

Just now it was "Gen Earth" with a strong momentum, so when he slapped out with his palm, it felt like a hill pressing down to the opponent.

Having your mind taken away during a fight is tantamount to seeking death.

Li Yan just used the most clever method to kick the opponent away. If he had hit him with his palm regardless, his sternum would have been shattered.

"Tsk tsk..."

Another old man, Yu Fenghai, was also full of disbelief. He praised Zhang Xiaoshan and said, "Brother, your eyes are blurry. You can comprehend the 'fist force' at such a young age. In the future, it will not be as simple as stepping into the Gangjin."

Zhang Xiaoshan also scratched his head, "Yes, yes, I was wrong. I'm afraid this kid is another evildoer."

Then he said to the young men, "Come on together. If you can force them out of Mingxin Hall, I won't punish you."

These young people come from families with a wealth of knowledge, and when they hear the words "fist force" and "power", they are already completely convinced.

After hearing this, they all stood up and bowed without hesitation:
"Please enlighten me, Young Master Li!"

Li Yan also felt the desire to fight and said with a smile, "Okay!"

After saying that, he started to attack directly.

He flashed and came directly in front of the crowd. He grabbed the person in front, and used the "Gen Earth" palm move again.

The young man was shocked and stepped back quickly.

The two people next to him couldn't feel it. One of them used the Longhua Fist and stretched out his claws towards Li Yan's face, while the other one directly used the Xingyi Cannon Hammer to hit Li Yan's chest.

"Hum!"

Li Yan exhaled as thunder, pulled back his right hand, twisted it upwards, used the Silk-Wrapping Hand, and grabbed the opponent's dragon claw, while his chest took a blow from a cannon hammer.

Boom!
The young man who practiced Xingyiquan felt that the power of his fist was like a drop in the ocean, disappearing in an instant, and his face was filled with disbelief.

Immediately, Li Yan transferred the force and swung his arm. The young man he held was lifted up in the air and knocked down the two people around him like a hammer.

Zhang Yufu, who was far away, swallowed his saliva after seeing this.

He had fought with Li Yan before, and on Guishan Mountain, he had seen the ferocity of Li Yan's thunder magic, so he had no intention of fighting at all.

Unexpectedly, Li Yan has made such progress in such a short time.

He couldn't help but feel a sense of powerlessness.

Ping ping pong!
As the sound of fists and feet fighting broke out in Mingxin Hall, people were thrown out from time to time, some hit the pillars, some broke the screens, and some fell to the ground and couldn't breathe for a long time.

After a while, all the disciples were knocked down, covered in dust and dejected.

"okay."

Zhang Xiaoshan scolded, "Look at what you have done. You are always so arrogant and ignorant, but now you have been exposed. You look so ugly that you will be laughed at if you tell others about it." "Little brother Li, tell me, among the younger generation in Shenzhou, are you the best in the world?"

"Senior is joking."

Li Yan naturally knew what Zhang Xiaoshan wanted him to say, but thinking of his experiences in the past year or two, he was also touched and said, "There are always people who are better than you, and there are always mountains beyond the mountains. China has been prosperous for thousands of years, and many extraordinary people have emerged. Even the Overlord of Chu was forced to commit suicide by slashing his throat at the Wujiang River."

"Saying that you are the best in the world is just a joke. Brothers, when you are in the martial arts world in the future, no one should underestimate you."

"Now that we have firearms, no matter how good your kung fu is, you can't be careless. An ordinary person might be able to take your life!"

"Yes, times have changed..."

Hearing Li Yan's words, Zhang Xiaoshan was also touched and angrily scolded: "What do you mean by going out to explore the world? If I let you go, I'm afraid that in a few years, every household will have to hold a mourning hall."

"Starting tomorrow, all of you must practice behind closed doors. Wait for the veteran escorts to come back and ask them for advice. Sometimes, martial arts experience is more important than kung fu."

"Also, didn't you see that Brother Li is so skilled in martial arts, yet he still carries a firearm? Don't underestimate this, practice it tomorrow!"

After a scolding, Zhang Xiaoshan waved his hand to let these young people leave. He asked Li Yan to sit down again, toasted him with a glass of wine, and sighed: "Don't blame me, little brother Li. I am also very angry. I have no choice but to ask you for help."

"Although it's good to lean on a big tree for shade, but the children of my Zhang family are getting worse and worse. Sooner or later, our foundation will be destroyed."

Li Yan shook his head and said, "Don't worry, senior. The Zhang family has a long history of learning. What they lack is just experience. Just practice more and that'll be fine."

He also said this in a tactful way.

After this fight, he has realized that the younger generation of the Zhang family is indeed much inferior to that of the Huang Meilei family.

Lei Zhen's reputation spreads far and wide, and his son Lei Poshan will probably be even better than him. Moreover, all his disciples are trained using military methods, so they will surely be very powerful in the future.

A trace of fatigue flashed across Zhang Xiaoshan's eyes, and he shook his head and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about these things for now."

"I have asked someone to speak for you about the matter you wrote to me, but there are more than one or two people who can make the decision on Mount Wudang."

"The current head of the Five Dragon Palace is called Yu Longzi. He is upright but a bit old-fashioned. It may be difficult for him to get that thing."

"But the one who really has the final say is his master, Li Xuanzong, the Iron Toad Patriarch, who is a disciple of the True Man Sanfeng. He is now 110 years old. If we can please him, this matter will not be a problem."

Good guy!
Li Yan was secretly shocked when he heard this.

Another old monster who is about a hundred years old.

If the health-preserving skills of Wudang Mountain were not equally amazing, he would probably have thought that these old guys had learned some evil magic of longevity.

Suddenly, he remembered what happened just now, and hurriedly asked in a low voice: "Senior Wang Jingxiu asked us to go find him later, probably to discuss something. If he speaks..."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Zhang Xiaoshan whispered, "Master Wang Jingxiu is a disciple of the Golden Toad Patriarch. He is proficient in medicine and is quite popular with several ancestors. If he had not devoted himself to the pursuit of Taoism and was obsessed with medicine, he would have been in charge of a Taoist temple long ago."

"He helps people heal their wounds and is very popular in the mountains. If he helps to talk, it shouldn't be a problem..."

Li Yan immediately understood, bowed to thank him, and then left with Sharifei and others.

……

Back in the courtyard, Li Yan gave a wink, and Sha Lifei and Wang Daoxuan immediately took Wu Ba back to the room.

Li Yanze and Lu San walked towards Gu Hanzi's room.

squeak~
Before he got close, Gu Hanzi had already pushed the door open and walked out. His complexion had obviously improved a lot. He smiled and said, "You two are back. I heard that Brother Li was very powerful in Mingxin Hall. Congratulations."

"The Taoist priest is joking."

Li Yan waved his hand casually.

Before he could say anything, Gu Hanzi understood and said, "You guys are going to find Uncle Wang. He treated my injuries and told me to go see him when you come back. Come with me."

After saying that, he led the two of them to another yard.

As they walked, he whispered, "Uncle Wang is highly respected in the mountains. If you want to succeed in your plan, it will depend on him!"

Li Yan and Lu San looked at each other.

Both Zhang Xiaoshan and Gu Hanzi said so, and it seems to be true.

I just don't know what the other party wants to do with them...

…………

The old Taoist Wang Jingxiu had a high status, so the Zhang family naturally did not dare to neglect him. They arranged for him to stay in a secluded courtyard at the back, where not only was there no one to disturb him, but there was also an elegant little garden.

As soon as he entered the yard, Li Yan sniffed.

A strong medicinal aroma wafts into the air.

Boom boom boom!
When he arrived at the wing room, Gu Hanzi knocked a few times and said respectfully, "Uncle Wang, I am here with Mr. Li and the others."

"Don't be polite, come in!"

A powerful voice came from inside the house.

After the three of them entered the room, they saw the old Taoist priest busy at the table.

When Li Yan saw what was on the other person's desk, his eyes twitched suddenly.

There was a small stove on the table, and a medicine pot on top of the stove. Something was bubbling inside, but nothing could be seen.

This is because the medicine jar was covered with a funnel-shaped lid, with a ceramic tube connected to the top, leading to another medicine jar.

This medicine jar was placed in a basin, surrounded by ice cubes. It was filled with sticky green liquid and smelled of medicine.

After the three people entered the room, the old Taoist was still focused, his eyes fixed on the medicine jar.

After a while, the inside of the medicine jar was stained with a layer of red, and the green liquid suddenly turned dark, and a foul smell rose.

"May you live a long and healthy life!"

The old Taoist's face suddenly turned red. He waved his hand, and the small stove was covered with a layer of white frost, and the flame went out.

He swung his sleeves to dissipate the stench, then rubbed his brows and said helplessly to Gu Hanzi: "You go first, I have something to say to them."

"Yes, uncle."

Gu Hanzi was obviously accustomed to this scene. He bowed respectfully and retreated. As he left, he winked at Li Yan, indicating that he should speak properly.

"Please take a seat first,"

The old Taoist simply packed up, then looked at Lu San and said with a smile: "I heard that this little brother can speak the language of birds and animals. Since you are wandering immortals, I have a commission. I wonder if you are willing to accept it?"

Li Yan bowed and said, "Senior, please speak."

"It's nothing."

The old Taoist Wang Jingxiu sighed, "I want to refine some elixirs, but some medicinal materials are rare and scattered everywhere, all in the deep mountains and old forests."

"I wanted to look for it myself, but when the war broke out in the southwest, I was summoned by the headmaster and had to return in a hurry."

"This little brother knows the language of birds and animals. This should not be a problem for you. You just need to travel a little. There are some medicinal herbs that can only be found in Wushan and Ailao Mountain."

"Easy to say!"

Li Yan agreed immediately, and finally said directly: "To be honest, we are going up the mountain to ask for help with something."

The old Taoist Wang Jingxiu nodded and said, "Tell me, what's the matter?"

Li Yan cupped his hands and said, "We would like to ask the Five Dragon Palace for a dragon ball..."
