Starting from the world of martial arts in the Condor Heroes, practicing martial arts across the hea

When you're relaxed, time crawls by like a snail; when you're focused, time is like sand, impossible to grasp!

In this martial arts debate, Jiangnan and Huang Yaoshi mostly discussed martial arts theories and did not engage in any actual combat.

Even so, time flies by.

By the time Jiangnan came to her senses, the sun had set and the sky was filled with the glow of sunset.

After dinner, Huang Yaoshi called Huang Rong aside to talk in a secluded place.

A short while later, Huang Rong came running to Jiangnan, crying.

Jiangnan saw her with tears streaming down her face, looking utterly pitiful!

Jiangnan couldn't stand seeing girls cry, especially the beautiful Huang Rong, with whom he had spent over a year. She was his anchor and source of concern in the world of swords and shadows.

Jiang Nan didn't care that his father-in-law, Huang Yaoshi, was nearby. He stepped forward, pulled Huang Rong into his arms, patted her back gently, and comforted her softly!

As Huang Rong's sobs subsided, Jiang Nan rested his chin on her hair and asked:

"Rong'er, what's wrong? Or did something happen? Tell me, maybe I can help!"

Huang Rong held Jiang Nan tightly, feeling the warmth of his embrace and his strong arms. She felt a mix of longing and shyness.

Today, she threw herself into Jiangnan's arms in a moment of overwhelming emotion; it was their first time embracing!

Huang Rong buried her face in Jiang Nan's chest and said in a muffled voice:

"Father wants to take me back to Peach Blossom Island! But I still want to travel with Brother Nan and Little Dragon to see all the beautiful scenery!"

Jiang Nan felt relieved when he heard that Huang Rong and Huang Yaoshi had quarreled because of their different destinations. He was worried that the father and daughter might have some unresolved issues, in which case it would be difficult for him, an "outsider," to interfere.

"So it's because Rong'er doesn't want to be separated from me!" Jiang Nan chuckled.

"Of course Rong'er doesn't want to be separated from Brother Nan. Does Brother Nan want to be separated from Rong'er?" Huang Rong asked back.

"Of course I don't want to!"

"But you don't need to cry about this."

"Anyway, we haven't decided where to go next, so visiting your home, Peach Blossom Island, isn't out of the question. I just don't know if Rong'er would welcome us!"

Upon hearing this, Huang Rong finally broke into a smile through her tears. Her radiant smile blossomed on her face, dazzling and mesmerizing, captivating all who beheld it.

"Cough! Cough cough cough! Hmph!"

Huang Yaoshi's voice came from outside the door, startling the two of them so much that they immediately separated.

Jiang Nan was so focused that he didn't notice Huang Yaoshi's footsteps. It's also because Huang Yaoshi's martial arts skills are very high; if it were someone with lower skills, Jiang Nan would have noticed them long ago.

"Let's go together, get up early tomorrow!"

After saying this with a sour face, Huang Yaoshi left with Huang Rong!

  Remember us, 101kanshu.com

Huang Rong followed behind Huang Yaoshi, turned around and made a face at Jiangnan. Her eyebrows were raised, her eyes were filled with tears, her delicate nose was slightly upturned, her mouth was slightly open, and her pearly teeth gently bit her lower lip. She looked cute and adorable, and was very clever!

Jiangnan gave her a reassuring look!

The next morning, Huang Yaoshi joined the group of people from Jiangnan who were doing their morning exercise.

Huang Yaoshi discovered that the silly girl actually knew the kung fu of Peach Blossom Island. He went up to test her and found that she had not learned it completely.

Jiangnan immediately understood what was going on. He quickly stepped forward and explained the situation to Sha Gu. He also found the secret room and Qu Lingfeng's suicide note that had been found, and handed them over to Huang Yaoshi.

After reading the letter, Huang Yaoshi went to the secret room and looked around, remaining silent.

Jiangnan and Huang Rong exchanged a glance, knowing that Huang Yaoshi was in a bad mood, so neither of them disturbed him as he reminisced about the past.

Seeing this, Jiang Nan knew that it was impossible to set off today. He didn't urge Huang Yaoshi, but instead focused on training and gaining skill experience.

Seeing that her father was alright, Huang Rong left him alone and spent her time practicing martial arts and researching new dishes with Jiangnan.

We stopped in Niujia Village for another three days.

Three days later, Jiang Nan led out the green ox, harnessed it to the RV, invited Huang Yaoshi to get in, and let Sha Gu into the RV. Jiang Nan, Huang Rong, and Xiao Longnv drove the oxcart towards Peach Blossom Island from outside the RV.

Before leaving, they saw Mu Nianci looking around the village with great curiosity.

Jiangnan didn't go up to say goodbye. They were just strangers who had met by chance, and they might not see each other again.

Although Jiangnan felt that as long as he wanted to participate in the story of The Condor Heroes, they would definitely meet again.

However, Jiang Nan wasn't sure if he would participate in the plot. There was nothing he needed to gain through the plot, and he might just be too lazy to go!

This is the modern world: money can't buy happiness!

If you're alive, you can live freely. Who would want to live a life of stifling repression?

Having left modern society and arrived in this ancient world without the constraints of law, everything else is meaningless except for the constraints of one's own morality.

………………

The oxcart drove towards the seaside dock, and it took more than a day. The story is long or short, but on this day, it finally arrived at the coast.

Standing atop the cart shaft and gazing into the distance, the entire East China Sea stretched out endlessly, the sky and water merging into a pale blue-green hue, making it impossible to distinguish where the sky ended and the sea began.

Layer upon layer of waves pushed the shimmering light slowly, and as the sunlight fell, the sea surface was sprinkled with sparkling silver light, as if someone had spread millions of pieces of silver on the water.

Jiangnan found a broker in a nearby city and spent extra money to buy a large boat that could fit a motorhome. He didn't hire a boatman. Huang Yaoshi and Huang Rong had lived on the island for many years and knew how to drive a boat. Jiangnan relied on his proficiency panel and was already very skilled at sailing. At least he had no problem sailing in the near sea.

The three worked together to steer the large ship toward Peach Blossom Island.

The farther the ship gets from the shore, the more the outline of the land disappears completely, leaving only the vast East China Sea stretching before your eyes.

The ocean is turbulent, with waves surging one after another into the distance, seemingly without end.

There was no land in sight, only seagulls spreading their white wings and circling low in the sky, occasionally letting out a few clear cries.

This East China Sea looks gentle and peaceful, but in reality it is so vast and deep that it makes people feel scared. The huge body of water seems to be able to swallow up everything in the world.

No wonder Peach Blossom Island is secluded here, surrounded by the vast sea, a veritable secluded sea paradise. Ordinary people would have to think twice before crossing this ocean.

The imperial court would not risk offending a martial arts master by waging war over a small, isolated island overseas.

After sailing at sea for more than half an hour, a large island came into view ahead of the ship. The island was covered with peach trees. Although it was not the season for peach blossoms, the peach trees on the island were all in bloom. In the sea breeze, petals of peach blossoms floated and swirled in the air, creating a beautiful scene that fulfilled all of Jiangnan's fantasies about Peach Blossom Island.

The peach trees covering the mountains and plains were layered upon layered, their pink blossoms like clouds carpeting the ground, their emerald leaves like waves crashing on a blue sea, interspersed with vibrant red, tender yellow, and pure white flowers, clusters and bunches bursting into view, a dazzling display of colors. Calling it a paradise on earth is no exaggeration; even the seabirds passing by couldn't help but circle the island three times, probably wanting to stop and take a look and fish.

The large ship docked at the self-built pier on Peach Blossom Island. Jiangnan and his group disembarked, and also put Qingniu and Dahuang on the ship, letting them roam freely on the island.

Upon landing, it became clear that while the place was undeniably beautiful, that was merely an illusion; beneath lay a labyrinth of mechanisms and traps. The peach orchards, though scattered throughout, were not randomly planted; their intertwined branches and winding paths created a veritable maze. An ordinary person entering would surely lose their way after just three steps, spending an entire day searching without ever finding the correct path. It was a veritable natural maze of the martial arts world, designed to be beautiful yet utterly unapproachable.

After passing through the peach grove, there is a blue stone path winding forward, with swaying green bamboo and ancient pines on both sides. The trees are at least several hundred years old, with strong branches and trunks but not showing signs of age.

Upon reaching the heart of the area, a bamboo pavilion is built against the mountain. The bamboo platform and chairs are worn smooth and shiny from being handled. The pavilion pillars are inscribed with the words "The divine sword flies amidst the peach blossom shadows, the jade flute plays amidst the rising tide of the blue sea." It is one of the famous scenic spots in the world of The Condor Heroes, and an elegant atmosphere is immediately apparent.

A gentle sea breeze rustles the flowers on the island, waves lap against the rocks in the distance, and birdsong fills the air. On one side lies breathtaking scenery, on the other a labyrinthine array of secrets, and with the addition of the eccentric Island Master Huang, Peach Blossom Island is like a combination of stunning beauty and perilous traps. Strolling and admiring the flowers is a feast for the eyes, but if you dare to wander off and get lost, you'll be stuck "in jail" in the flower-filled forest.

The mischievous Zhou Botong just didn't understand this principle. He was imprisoned by Huang Yaoshi for over ten years and almost spent his entire life in jail. He tried to escape countless times, but failed every time. However, his life wasn't too bad. He was provided with food, and musicians would occasionally play for him. Apart from the lack of freedom, everything else was alright.

Ha... I hope Zhou Botong won't curse after hearing this!

It was already evening. Huang Yaoshi instructed the deaf-mute servant to prepare dinner, told Huang Rong to make arrangements for the group from Jiangnan, and then left on his own.

Huang Rong knew that her father had gone to visit her mother, and her mood became slightly downcast.

Jiangnan had guessed it too. He stepped forward and took her small, delicate hand in his. He didn't say much, but silently offered her support.

Huang Rong sensed Jiang Nan's feelings and her mood inexplicably improved.

He took the initiative to show Jiangnan, Xiaolongnu, and Shagu around the central residential area of ​​Peach Blossom Island and arranged accommodations for them.

At this moment, a mute servant came looking for them, and Huang Rong led the group to the bamboo pavilion where they would have their meal.

The setting sun was sinking in the west, and dusk was falling.

The sound of the East China Sea tide gradually subsided, and the afterglow spread across the entire Peach Blossom Island. Inside the bamboo pavilion by the water, the lights were just coming on, and warm light filtered through the bamboo shadows. A stone table was set with food, seafood, and fruit dishes arranged in a pleasing manner.

The evening breeze carried fallen petals, their fragrance mingling with the aromas of flowers, wine, and food. People sat around a table, chatting and laughing, oblivious to the outside world.

A pavilion, a banquet, a sunset over the vast sea, and ten miles of peach blossoms. The twilight on the lonely island, the gentle glow of fireworks—this is a rare tranquility for those who wander the martial world.

………………

With nothing to do after dinner, everyone sat in the bamboo pavilion and gazed at the sky.

By this time, it was completely dark. When I looked up, wow, there were so many stars in the sky!

One after another, they densely covered the entire night sky, their bright lights dazzling the eyes.

With no smoke or dust obscuring the view at sea, the stars shone exceptionally brightly, densely packed together like a swarm of fireflies scattered on a black cloth.

The group leaned against a bamboo pillar, chatting and counting stars. The more they counted, the more confused they became, so they simply laughed and gave up.

As the evening breeze blows, peach petals occasionally drift down, landing on shoulders and in hair. Above is a vast starry sky, beside you are close friends, and below is an endless ocean.

It has to be admitted that Peach Blossom Island has a really good location. During the day, you can enjoy the sea of ​​flowers and the sea view, and at night you can enjoy a top-notch starry night view. It has taken the enjoyment to the extreme. For modern people, once you come here, you won't want to leave!

The group from Jiangnan were exhausted from their journey. Although they had internal energy protecting them, they were all quite tired. They didn't play around anymore and went back to their lodgings. They fell asleep to the sound of the waves and under the starlight, and slept soundly until dawn!

The next morning, Jiangnan woke up, dressed, and tidied herself up.

Pushing open the door, you are greeted by the unique damp coolness of the morning. The humidity is higher than on land, and it feels like there is a layer of water mist with each breath.

The bluestone path outside the gate meanders into the depths of the peach grove, with lush peach trees on both sides, their branches adorned with countless buds and blooming flowers. The morning mist has not yet completely dissipated, and as one strolls among the flowers and trees, fine droplets of moisture cling to the hem of one's clothes and hair.

Reaching the bamboo pavilion at the top, one can see the East China Sea shimmering in the distance, the rising sun painting its surface a warm gold. The waves gently roll onto the mudflats, then slowly recede.

Dew still clung to the pavilion pillars and stone table; a touch of the fingertip would cause the water droplets to slide off.

The world is ablaze with vibrant colors: pink flowers, green leaves, blue sea, and golden light intertwine. The air is filled with birdsong and the gentle murmur of the tide, and the fragrance of flowers wafts through the air. This morning scene is truly captivating.

While each has its own unique charm in the morning scenery of Taihu Lake and West Lake, Peach Blossom Island retains both its wildness and the orderliness brought about by human intervention, making it more attractive to modern people from the concrete jungles of Jiangnan.

………………

As dawn breaks, mist lingers over Peach Blossom Island in the East China Sea, the vast blue sea shimmering with the golden light of newborn life. Peach blossoms covering the mountains are glistening with morning dew, and a gentle breeze sends petals fluttering down, their soft lapping against the shore echoing across the entire island. The air is filled with the gentle chirping of birds in the woods, the sea breeze is cool and refreshing, and the stillness of night has vanished, leaving only the purest vitality and tranquility of nature, devoid of any worldly clamor.

Standing on the open ground of the bluestone by the sea, Jiangnan looked at the scenery before him, relaxed all his body, abandoned all distracting thoughts, and slowly began to practice Tai Chi.

The movement begins like clouds unfurling and rolling, the hands raised to embrace yin and yang, the waist lowered to contain the universe. The movements are unhurried and smooth, flowing effortlessly, without any sharp edge, only a continuous and gentle flow like water. Between the rise and fall of the hands, there is no deliberate exertion or forced force; the limbs and bones are completely relaxed, allowing the body to slowly unfold in accordance with the energy of heaven and earth.

At first, there were still some minor distracting thoughts in his mind: the conflicts of the martial world, the constraints of martial arts, and past events. But as his skills deepened, his breathing completely merged with the surrounding world. The fragrance of peach blossoms and the fresh air of sea salt filled his nostrils, the natural rhythm of the ebb and flow of the tide and the wind blowing through the peach grove reached his ears, and the boundless scenery of mountains and seas intertwined and flowers in full bloom filled his eyes. His heart became one with heaven and earth, and worldly thoughts ceased to arise.

The true energy throughout the body no longer needed to be consciously circulated; it flowed spontaneously with each breath, slowly meandering along the meridians. Raising the hand was to absorb the pure energy of heaven and earth in the morning, while lowering the hand was to expel the turbid energy within the body. Every move was in accordance with the natural laws of Tao.

In an instant, my mind and spirit suddenly became clear, and the state of oneness with heaven and man quietly arrived.

At this moment, Jiangnan could not distinguish the boundary between himself and heaven and earth; his body was part of the mountains and seas, and his mind was a wisp of the spirit of heaven and earth.

The rise and fall of flowers, the ebb and flow of tides and clouds, are all traces of the Dao; the fluidity of the limbs and the circulation of true qi are all principles of nature. The shackles of past arduous training and the obsession with rigid techniques and rules are all broken, and suddenly it is realized that another realm of martial arts is not about being competitive or brute force, but about conforming to heaven and earth and following the natural order.

The interplay of strength and gentleness, movement and stillness, is inherently harmonious. Water benefits all things without striving; the essence of Tai Chi is to borrow the power of heaven and earth to transform immense force into nothingness.

As the morning light grows stronger and the fog dissipates, the wind becomes gentle. Jiangnan stands poised, his aura perfectly balanced and full, his mind clear and serene. His martial arts skills have quietly improved, and his kung fu has truly taken root in the natural world.
