Martial arts of the heavens, I am unstoppable since I was born

Chapter 90: Release Tai Chi Quan Sutra and Find the Sword Tomb

"I don't know." Zhang Kuang shook his head.

After Hong Lingbo brought out two cups of fragrant tea from behind the screen and placed them on the two tables, he said, "I've never met an immortal, and I'm not a Qi cultivator. At best, I'm a weapon refiner...right?"

He can't make magic weapons now, and all he makes are magical instruments. It seems there's nothing wrong with calling himself a "weapon refiner".

A gloomy look crossed Huang Yaoshi's clear face. After two breaths of silence, he pulled out the Nine Flower Jade Dew Pill from his bosom and swallowed it. His eyes grew dim as he sighed, "Everyone in the world wants to seek immortality and ask for advice. I'm no exception. Even someone like you doesn't know if immortals and gods exist. I'm afraid there really are no immortals and gods in this world."

Zhang Kuang was unimpressed by Huang Yaoshi's intention to seek immortality and enlightenment. Instead, he was quite surprised by Huang Yaoshi's attitude. "You don't seem to bear a grudge against me for what happened with your daughter."

Huang Lao Xie squinted at him and snorted, "Don't you also think that women should be faithful to one man? Although I didn't like it when my daughter fell in love with Guo Jing, I let her go. Now if she abandons Guo Jing, I will only applaud and cheer. I don't care what he says or what the world says. As long as my daughter is happy, that's all that matters!"

Zhang Kuang was stunned. He didn't expect that he was the one with "feudal thinking". He couldn't help but press his eyebrows and said with a smile: "You are quite open-minded."

"Open-minded? I just can't do anything about it," Huang Yaoshi leaned back in his chair. Although he was humming complaints about Huang Rong being too opinionated, his closed eyes were actually full of doting. After all, she was his only daughter. How could he be so cruel as to discipline her and bind her to worldly rules and regulations and keep her in line with the rules?

Even Zhang Kuang was speechless with such words, so how could Huang Rong remain indifferent? Her eyes immediately turned red, and she knelt in front of Huang Yaoshi's chair and cried bitterly.

Zhang Kuang thought for a moment and took out the Tai Chi Manual that he had been studying but hadn't finished yet. "Your injuries are serious and you need to rest for a while. Since you don't have much to do, why don't you help me read this manual?"

Yes, scriptures.

Although the Tai Chi Chuan Classics is named after martial arts, in fact as much as 90% of the text is about explaining the principles of Tai Chi, and less than one-tenth or one-twelfth of it involves martial arts, which are just minor details.

Zhang Kuang naturally didn't regard it as a martial art.

"You kid dares to order people around. You're better than that wooden lump Guo Jing." Although Huang Yaoshi was still dissatisfied with Zhang Kuang, he was also a flexible person. He would not embarrass his daughter when he was not as strong as the other person. So he took the Tai Chi manual and wanted to flip through it roughly to get by.

I didn't expect that after just two glances, I was completely drawn into it.

Huang Yaoshi was able to become the pinnacle of the "Five Great Masters" of an era, as his own qualifications were already at the top level among his peers. Moreover, he was not entirely focused on martial arts, but also dabbled in unconventional ways and even military books, which shows his extraordinary talent.

However, even a man of extraordinary talent like Huang Yaoshi frowned repeatedly when reading the Tai Chi Chuan Sutra, and stumbled like a child who was just learning to read.

Huang Rong cried for a while, then stopped crying awkwardly when she saw that the two people in the carriage ignored her. She watched Huang Yaoshi's face turn pale and worried about his injuries. But seeing him struggling with the Tai Chi manual, she walked over to Zhang Kuang and asked, "Your martial arts are so profound. Will it affect my father's recovery if he sees you?"

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Before Zhang Kuang could reply, Huang Yaoshi puffed his beard and glared, "It's just a Taoist scripture. Can it really stump me?"

He paused and said, "It's just that my injuries are quite severe, so my energy is inevitably low, so it's a bit difficult for me to comprehend it. When I feel better, I will definitely understand it thoroughly."

A man's competitive spirit knows no age, especially a proud man like Huang Yaoshi, who can't stand being treated any worse than him. He immediately stood up and said, "If you trust me, copy this scripture for me. I'll come to you to discuss it after I've recovered from my injuries." "I want to find Dugu's sword tomb. Why don't you come with me? When we find the Bosuqu snake, you'll benefit from it and it will help you heal faster." Zhang Kuang didn't mind Huang Yaoshi following him. It was just that he didn't want to meditate on yin and yang with them in the carriage.

But Huang Yaoshi minded - he really felt that the Tai Chi Chuan Sutra was as profound as the Nine Yin Scriptures, but compared to the breadth of the Nine Yin Scriptures, the Tai Chi Chuan Sutra contained the principle of simplicity, and although the explanation was simple, it had a lingering aftertaste.

But since he has made such a boast, he must not be disappointed. If he follows Zhang Kuang and the others, asking questions every day will surely expose his progress. Not only will he be embarrassed, but he is also afraid that he will be too eager for success and go astray.

What's more, he has always liked quietness, while Zhang Kuang is obviously a person who likes lively activities. The two have different personalities, and something bad will definitely happen if they meet.

So for both emotional and logical reasons, Huang Yaoshi was unwilling to stay in the carriage.

"But Dad, your current strength..." Huang Rong was still worried about Huang Yaoshi's injury. With his current strength, it might be difficult for him to fight against the top masters in the martial arts world.

But Huang Yaoshi disagreed and said, "Even though I'm seriously injured and only have a little of my strength left, I can still move freely in the martial arts world. Don't worry."

Huang Yaoshi was never fussy about things. He insisted on getting paper and pen and copied the Tai Chi Chuan Sutra by himself. He soon left with the copied Tai Chi Chuan Sutra.

After him, Hong Qigong, Master Yideng, Ci'en and Guo Jing also came after hearing the news. All four of them fought with Li Mochou one after another. However, unlike Huang Yaoshi, these four people did not have any arrogant thoughts, so Li Mochou's plan failed.

Fortunately, both Hong Qigong and Guo Jing practiced the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms. Although it has some elements of both hardness and softness, its main feature is to attack bravely and face the enemy head-on. Therefore, Li Mochou was able to deal with it quite easily by relying on her own lightness skills.

Master Yideng and Ci'en were both bound by Buddhism and had many concerns when taking action. Li Mochou took the initiative to attack, and her Scarlet Snake Palm became more vicious and sophisticated.

With Zhang Kuang's help, Li Mochou's combat capability improved rapidly.

Hong Qigong, Master Yideng and Ci'en were defeated by Li Mochou one after another, and obtained a copy of the Tai Chi manual given by Zhang Kuang.

Only Guo Jing insisted on finding Huang Rong to ask for clarification. In the end, he received a sad answer from Huang Rong and left sadly.

After no one interfered, Zhang Kuang's search for Dugu Sword Tomb immediately became faster, and he soon found the location of the sword tomb and the trace of the Bosuqu snake.

"Is this Dugu Sword Tomb? It looks rather desolate. Could it be that this senior has no descendants, or are his descendants unworthy enough to have allowed this place to become so messy?"

Cheng Yaojia looked at the overgrown weeds and piled rocks here, which looked like a primeval forest. She couldn't help but think that if Lu Chengfeng died and the Lu family's lineage was cut off, it would probably end up like this. She felt a little sad.

Zhang Kuang said nonchalantly, "The Sword Demon's only companion in life was the sword. Before he died, he raised an ugly eagle to keep him company. But beasts are beasts. Even if they have some spirituality, they wouldn't repair graves. Naturally, this place is in disarray."

"Then should we find someone to help this senior repair his tomb?"

"No need, just grab your stuff and go... Great! Right here!"
