Great Love for All Heavens Begins with Huang Yaoshi

Chapter 25: No Woman in Mind, Practice Boxing Naturally

Three months later.

Above the East China Sea, a young man in a green robe was traveling on a boat. He moved forward with a long pole in his hand while looking down at the human skin scroll placed in front of him.

"It records the 'Destroying Divine Claw,' 'Destroying Heart Palm,' 'Great Demon Subduing Fist,' 'Waving the Five Strings,' and Qiu Qianren's 'Iron Palm,' which has given me some new excellent hand techniques."

"The essence of Quanzhen internal energy I gained from Guo Jing has been put to use once again. With this internal energy secret, I can barely understand the Taoist terminology mentioned in the scriptures."

"In addition, the Huang Shang version of 'Golden Bell Cover' has also benefited me greatly. The second half of the Golden Bell Cover training method is improved with his superior internal energy, and its power is more than ten times stronger than the first half."

Zhuang Bu Ran raised his eyes and said to himself:

"Nine Abyss Skills has taken the best of Toad Skills, Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, and One Finger Zen, and has been greatly improved. It can be said to be an increasingly perfect combination of internal and external cultivation."

"Now, I have taken the essence of the revised version of 'Golden Bell Cover' and gradually integrated the shortcomings of 'Nine Abyss Skills'. Not only have I eliminated the few remaining weaknesses, but I have also increased the strength of my horizontal training."

As he murmured, his internal energy unconsciously circulated, and his breath immediately became hot, as if his internal organs were a furnace, circulating throughout his body like surging lava.

If there were other people present, they would definitely be able to see the faint red-gold lines on the chest of the young man in green robe.

"But after practicing for more than a month, my horizontal training skills have been further improved. My muscles and bones have been tempered like black iron, making them 30% stronger than before. Only one inch of weakness remains."

"If I could get the first volume of the Nine Yin Manual, I'm sure my hard work would be even more advanced."

"It just so happens that during this period, in addition to diligent practice, I have not been idle and have already mastered Sanskrit."

Zhuang Bu Ran's nose twitched slightly, and he smelled the fragrance of flowers mixed in with the sea breeze. He looked around and saw an island. He squinted his eyes and looked closely, praising:
"It's definitely not comparable to Peach Blossom Island, where I only lived for three years. The scenery is very pleasant."

After half a cup of tea, he waited for the boat to approach, jumped onto the shore, walked a dozen feet or so, and chuckled:

"Haha, this Qimen Five Elements Technique is only so-so."

He wandered around and came to the outside of a cave. There seemed to be a trace of reminiscence in his eyes. It was on the stone wall of this cave that he obtained the fragments of the Xiaoyao Sect's unique skills.

The person in the cave seemed to hear the footsteps outside without any intention of concealing anything, and then he stuck his head out.

This was an old man with long hair that reached the ground, long eyebrows and beard, and his nose and mouth were covered.

He looked at the person who came and couldn't help rubbing his eyes. He said with a funny look:
"Is this Huang Lao's evil magic that allowed him to regain youth, or does he have a son outside?"

Immediately, an old man with gray hair and beard, but not completely white, stood at the entrance of the cave. He looked at the young man in green robe carefully for a few more times and shook his head repeatedly:

"That's not right. I've been on the island for fifteen years, and I haven't heard that little girl say she has any brothers. Judging from their age, they are older than that little girl."

He asked with a chuckle:
"Boy, who is Huang Lao Xie to you?"

"Old naughty boy, I know the 'Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms'. Do you want to learn it?" Zhuang Buyan asked with a smile.

"Ah?!" Zhou Botong's mind was full of question marks. He slapped his forehead and shouted to the people around him with his hands on his hips:
"Huang Lao Xie, what tricks are you playing now? Are you trying to trade the 'Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms' for my 'Nine Yin Scriptures'? Do you think I'll fall for it?"

"With your martial arts skills, how could you possibly learn the palm techniques of that old beggar? And I don't believe you can steal the Beggars' Sect's unique skills from him."

"Stop shouting! I just walked around the island, and he hasn't returned yet." Zhuang Bu Ran had a playful look on his face.

"I also know the Southern Emperor's 'One Finger of Sun', the East Evil's 'Finger of Magic', and the West Poison's 'Toad Kung Fu'. Would you like to learn?"

"Tsk, what do you think?"

As soon as Zhou Bo opened his mouth on the phone, he looked stunned.

It was because he saw the young man in green robe raised his hand and used the "Kang Long You Hui" style, breaking a big tree next to him. He pointed his finger and the power of Yi Yang Finger instantly pierced through another tree.

With a jolt of his foot, a stone fell into his palm. He flicked his finger and the stone made an extremely loud sound of breaking through the air, quickly penetrating five or six large trees.

Afterwards, a slightly dull sound came from the body, like the croaking of a toad. After a while, it seemed that many toads were coming and going outside the cave.

Zhou Botong opened his eyes wide:
"It's just that the Toad Kung Fu isn't very similar, but the others are actually the Five Great Masters' secret martial arts that are never passed down to outsiders." "Zhuang thought the Toad Kung Fu's posture was too ugly, so he practiced the essence of martial arts." Zhuang Bu Ran's smile grew wider.

"How about it, do you want to learn?"

"Do you really want to teach me?" Zhou Botong felt a little dry in his mouth and swallowed involuntarily.

"Toads hide in the earth for a long time to accumulate energy, and after emerging from the earth they do not need to eat much."

Zhuang Bu Ran said calmly, "This is the essence of Toad Kung Fu."

"Is that how you teach me?" Zhou Botong looked incredulous and asked, "Who on earth are you?"

"Zhuang Bu Ran, a pure person who has escaped from vulgar tastes."

"What is vulgar taste?" Zhou Botong asked with great curiosity.

"If you don't have women in your mind, you will naturally become a god when practicing boxing." Zhuang Bu Ran said in a serious tone.

"Okay, just based on what you said, I'll definitely make you my brother." Zhou Botong stamped his feet excitedly:

"You know, if I get married, I won't be able to practice many good skills. It's such a pity. I often regret it."

Before he could finish his words, he was like a gourd with its mouth sawed off, and stopped talking.

"That's quite reasonable. Look carefully, now it's the 'Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms'."

Zhuang Bu Ran performed the opening move of the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, 'The Arrogant Dragon Will Regret', and then recited the essence of the palm technique.

Zhou Botong couldn't help but imitate the technique repeatedly. When the young man in green robe performed the Dragon Subduing Palm from beginning to end, he already knew the palm technique clearly.

"Old Naughty Boy has always been reluctant to take advantage of others. Although I can't teach you the Nine Yin Manual, the past fifteen years have not been in vain. Just wait and see!"

"I have been practicing diligently for over ten years, and suddenly realized the profound principle of using emptiness to defeat reality, and using insufficiency to defeat abundance. Thus, I created the 72-movement 'Empty and Bright Fist', which focuses on emptiness and softness."

Zhou Botong adopted a boxing stance and delivered a series of punches that were extremely feminine, soft yet tough, with a subtle force that seemed to be there and not there.

After reading it, Zhuang Bu Ran felt that he deeply understood the meaning of "nothing in the world is softer than water, yet nothing can overcome it when it attacks the strong", which is irreplaceable.

"I'll return the Toad Kung Fu I used on you."

Zhou Botong changed his moves and unleashed a set of seemingly weak palm techniques. Then, with the strong wind around him, he suddenly changed, as if he had encountered an enemy. His moves were as powerful as a sudden snowstorm, with endless and continuous force.

After this set of palm techniques is completed, the essence of the palm techniques is also explained.

"This should be the Quanzhen Sect's 'Walking on Frost and Breaking Ice Palm'. It's truly exquisite and powerful." Zhuang Buyan performed the 'One Finger Zen' stance.
"The primordial Qi follows nature's way. With one finger, heaven and earth are connected. This is the general outline of One Yang Finger. Watch!"

Zhuang Bu Ran practiced kung fu while explaining the essentials of finger techniques.

After watching it, Zhou Botong suddenly felt it was very interesting. His interest suddenly became high. He flew into the air, picked up a branch, used it as a sword, and shouted:

"This is 'One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones'. It involves 2918 consecutive sword strikes. Each sword strike can be split into three, but when it strikes out, it's only one move. When the wrist shakes, the sword move splits into three."

Zhuang Bu Ran clapped his hands and laughed:
"Hahaha, it's worthy of being the work of Wang Chongyang, the former number one in the world. Look carefully, this is the 'Finger Magic' that can make your fingers reach the gods."

After the demonstration, Zhou Botong, unwilling to be outdone, performed another set of sword techniques and said:
"Although this is the entry-level sword technique of the Quanzhen Sect, it has subtle variations and complements the Quanzhen Heart Technique. It has seven swords and seven moves, for a total of 49 moves."

When he practiced his moves, he not only explained the key points of his swordsmanship, but also explained the Quanzhen Heart Method.

When Zhuang Bu Ran was about to perform martial arts again, Zhou Bo Tong let out a strange cry:

"Brother, stop. Even though I've practiced martial arts for decades, I still can't memorize so many martial arts in a hurry. At most, I can only learn 70% to 80%. Are you sure you can learn all the martial arts I just taught you without any mistakes or omissions?"

"Do you know that sometimes the difference between people is greater than the difference between people and dogs?" Zhuang Bu Ran said jokingly.
