Great Love for All Heavens Begins with Huang Yaoshi

Chapter 26 Keeping His Word
"what for?"

Zhou Botong scratched the back of his head: "Don't you say you have learned it all?"

Zhuang Buyan smiled without saying anything, and started to practice the "Kongming Fist" in a very rigid manner at first, but after practicing twenty or thirty moves, he seemed to be very proficient in it.

Zhou Botong was stunned when he saw the young man in green robe who seemed to be able to master it after just one glance.

It's not like he hasn't seen geniuses before, and he himself can be considered a person with excellent qualifications, but it is expected that even those as powerful as the Five Great Masters would not be able to reach mastery right away after just one practice, and it would take them 10 to 20 years to master the skills.

After Zhuang Bu Ran finished his boxing skills, he displayed the "Walking on Frost and Breaking Ice Palm" which seemed to have been practiced for more than twenty years. He then transformed the "One Qi Transformed into Three Pure Ones" and the "Quanzhen Sword Technique" into two finger techniques.

Zhou Botong was stunned by what he saw, but he was born to be mischievous and naughty. He would not get annoyed when people scolded him or made him angry. He would not take it to heart when people loved and spoiled him. Instead, he would think it was very funny and kept clapping and cheering.

"As the saying goes, a strong army will be destroyed, a strong tree will be broken, the strong will be below, the weak will be above." Zhuang Buyan stopped and said with a smile:
"Zhuang is particularly skilled in boxing and kicking. The martial arts I practice fully embody the true meaning of the Taoist principle of "the highest good is like water." Therefore, you will be able to grasp the key points of the many martial arts I teach you at a glance."

"Really? I don't believe it." Zhou Botong laughed heartily, made a face, and looked very funny:
"I have a skill that even a clever person like you can't possibly learn."

He waved his hand:
"For someone as thoughtful and thoughtful as you, no matter what happens, I'm afraid thousands of thoughts will run through your mind."

While Zhou Botong was speaking, he adopted a strange offensive stance, with his left and right hands suddenly fighting each other, and the left attack and the right defense were fighting very fiercely.

Zhuang Bu'ran's eyes fixed, and he saw that his boxing techniques with both hands were strange and mysterious, incredible. During the attack and defense, every move and every style was attacking his vital points, while at the same time unblocking the moves from his other hand. He knew in his heart that this was the "Left-Right Fighting Technique".

"I've been staying in the cave all these years, free from any tedious tasks, so I've devoted myself to martial arts training. I've been practicing alone, and although I know I've made great progress, I've been frustrated by the lack of anyone to counter my moves, so I've been forced to fight with my left hand against my right."

Zhou Botong stood up and said with a laugh:

"I've mastered this skill without realizing it. Do you think you can learn it?"

"What will you do if I learn it?" Zhuang Bu Ran asked with a smile.

"You are not trying to steal my Nine Yin Scriptures?" Zhou Botong suddenly looked alert.

"Hahaha, it doesn't matter about your Nine Yin Manual. I've already taken advantage of you. So no matter whether I can learn it or not, I will give you something that will make you overjoyed."

Zhuang Bu Ran raised his hand and gestured:
"Please ask for your advice."

Zhou Botong chuckled. He had a childish temper and loved to play the most in his life. Gambling and competing with others was endless fun for him. Moreover, he was very competitive and would not give up until he won.

So, I really don’t believe it. This young man in green robe has the same cunning personality as Huang Lao Xie, so how could he learn it?

"Don't worry, Old Boy is always willing to accept defeat. If you can really learn it, I will teach you a few more skills."

Zhou Botong said this and stepped forward:
"It's often said that the mind can't be used for two purposes at once. It's also said that if you draw a square with your left hand and a circle with your right hand, you won't be able to establish a rule. However, my 'Left and Right Fighting Technique' requires you to have two purposes at once, and when you practice it, you start by drawing a square with your left hand and a circle with your right hand."

"Come, pick up two dry branches and draw something on the ground. Let me see if you have the talent to practice this skill."

Zhuang Bu Ran raised the corners of his mouth, half-knelt on the ground, picked up two dry branches, and drew a square and a circle on the ground with his left and right hands at the same time.

"This"

Zhou Botong's jaw dropped instantly. "Even though I've been practicing meditation for years, even when I'm practicing martial arts, my mind is always clear and free from distractions. It can be described as crystal clear, untainted by dust."

"Furthermore, I've learned about some Taoist internal skills of clearing the mind and keeping quiet, and how one can do two, three, or even four things at once."

"Okay, it was the old naughty boy who underestimated you."

Uncle Zhou didn't say much during the call, but passed on all the key points of the "Left-Right Fighting Technique".

"Didn't you just say you were a martial arts prodigy who could master anything he saw? Why don't we just play a four-person fighting game? Your left hand and my right hand would be one person, and four hands would be four people. Without helping each other, a chaotic fight would surely be very interesting."

As soon as he finished speaking, he used one hand to make a soft, yet exquisite and sharp palm strike, while with the other hand he punched towards Zhuang Bu Ran with a soft yet tough fist.

The young man in green robe was calm and composed. He used one hand to subdue the dragon and the other to block the attack. Zhou Botong suddenly let out a strange cry and used his left hand and Zhuang Buran's hands to hit his right hand.

Seeing that his right hand could not hold back, Zhuang Bu Ran turned his left hand into an ally. After twenty or thirty rounds, Zhou Botong's left hand turned against him, and in an instant, three people surrounded him.
The two of them exchanged thousands of moves before they finally stopped.

"Brother, your talent is truly rare." Zhou Botong seemed to have figured something out and asked with great interest:
"Could it be because of his extraordinary talent that he was favored by the Five Supremes, that..."

When he said this, he hurriedly shook his head:
"No, no, that's not right. If it's the old beggar or Huang Laoxie, they might teach you martial arts. But if it's the old poisonous creature, and you're not last name Ouyang, why would he teach you martial arts?"

"With Zhuang's understanding and martial arts skills, why does he need others to teach him? Can't he rely on his own ability?"

Zhuang Bu Ran had a lazy look on his face:
"The descendant of the Western Poison came to Zhongdu to work for Prince Zhao's Mansion and happened to fall into my hands. Therefore, it shouldn't be too difficult for him to obtain the Toad Skill."

"I've been battling the Northern Beggar for over a month. He's used the 'Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms' thousands of times before me. If you still can't learn it, you might as well just find a piece of tofu and kill yourself."

"The Southern Emperor's disciple fell in love with the girl he adopted as a child, so he went to disrupt the wedding. As luck would have it, he ran into me. As the saying goes, if you don't take what heaven gives, you will suffer the consequences. Thus, I got the One Finger Zenith."

"As for the East Evil's 'Finger of Magic', I am the young Huang Yaoshi. I don't know how I came to be forty years later, so it's only natural that I know this skill."

"what?"

At first, Zhou Botong was very satisfied with what he heard and thought it was very interesting. But at the end, he seemed to not believe his ears and he could not help but circle around the young man in green robe again and again.

"Hey, the more I look at you, the more you look like him. If you weren't younger and taller, I wouldn't be wrong to say you were Huang Lao Xie."

"Just now I thought I was seeing things or maybe I just couldn't wake up. How come after not seeing him for a while, Huang Lao Xie seems to be getting younger and younger?"

He stood in front of the young man in green robes, muttering:
"If that's what you said, then it's no wonder that little girl never mentioned your existence."

"Whether you believe it or not, if I say I'll give you something that will delight you, then I'll definitely give it to you."

Zhuang Bu Ran flicked his sleeves and Zhou Botong caught it.

He looked at the thing in his hand that looked like cloth but not cloth, like leather but not leather with a little doubt, and saw that it was covered with words. He stared at it carefully, but found that it was densely packed with the secrets and formulas of practicing martial arts. After reading more than ten words, he realized that it was actually the scriptures of "Nine Yin Scriptures".

Zhou Botong looked up at the young man in green robe with a look of astonishment, and saw him smiling calmly:
"Isn't it a joyous occasion?"
