Traveling through Tianlong: Starting from the Zhenlong chess game

Chapter 31 The Power of Tai Chi

Not to mention a martial arts master like Jiumozhi, even the officials with martial arts background and some warriors from the martial arts hall who were watching were full of questions when they saw the swordsmanship displayed by Zhao Mu.

A martial arts apprentice who was watching couldn't help but complain: "What kind of swordsmanship is this? I can perform it more beautifully than him."

But Jiumozhi knew in his heart that his flaming sword was his Tubo magic. Even Murong Bo, who had learned from hundreds of schools of thought to "repay the other with his own way", was full of praise for it, and even used the unique skills of the Shaolin School exchange with it.

However, the flame knife he shot was easily defused by Zhao Mu.

Jiumozhi believed that Zhao Mu's swordsmanship was definitely not as simple as it seemed. The highest state of martial arts is to return to nature. Perhaps the opponent's swordsmanship is so exquisite that it seems simple.

At this time, Jiumozhi couldn't help but ask with doubts in his heart: "Your sword skills are so unique that I have never seen them before. What sect does your master come from?"

Zhao Mu stood still with his sword and then said: "As I said just now, I am just an unknown person in the world. Even if you give me your name, you may not know the master. I have no intention of embarrassing the master. As long as the master releases Mr. Duan, I will But I won’t have any trouble leaving.”

"No embarrassment? What a strong tone!" Jiumozhi treated each other with courtesy. He originally wanted to find out the other party's details, but he didn't expect that Zhao Mu would shine brightly with just a little sunshine. If Jiumozhi didn't give Zhao Mu some clues, he might not know how high the sky is.

Immediately, Jiumozhi grabbed two pebbles on the ground with his fingering technique, then flipped his wrist and flicked them towards Zhao Mu.

Faced with this sudden move, Zhao Mu did not resist forcefully, but dodged it with Lingbo Weistep. The flying stones flew past his temples like bullets and hit the tea stall support behind Zhao Mu directly.

The tea stall supported by bamboo collapsed instantly, and finally the small stone was deeply embedded in the bluestone wall beside it.

Zhao Mu looked back and was thankful that no one was hurt.

Zhao Mu shouted to the people around him: "You have all seen that this great monk kills without blinking an eye. You'd better leave as soon as possible."

Seeing this scene, everyone didn't dare to look anymore and ran away.

Jiumozhi was also very curious when he saw Ling Bo Weibu in front of him. However, Duan Yu's acupuncture points were sealed by Jiumozhi, and he couldn't escape along the way. Jiumozhi has never learned Lingbo Weibu.

Zhao Muwang looked at Jiumozhi and said, "The martial arts used by the master seem to be Shaolin's Nian Hua Finger Technique. Buddha Nian Hua Kasyapa smiled, but I can't see the compassion of Buddhism in the master's skills."

Jiumozhi sneered and said, "It turns out that you are also familiar with Buddhism."

Zhao Mu shook his head and said: "I am an ordinary person from the Confucian sect, how can I debate the scriptures with the master? I am trying to play with axes in the next class, and the master laughs. But if the master has this ability, I am afraid he is no match for me." After saying this, Zhao Mu directly He put his iron sword back into its sheath.

Then he turned his backhand, and a sword flower passed over it, directly inserting the sheathed long sword into the bluestone floor beside him.

Seeing Zhao Mu's behavior, Jiumozhi asked doubtfully, "Oh? Why did you abandon your sword?"

Zhao Mu immediately stepped down and unfolded the starting position of Tai Chi. He said with a smile: "How can I kill a chicken with a butcher's knife? It's not worth using my sword to fight with the master. A set of boxing techniques is enough. Please give me a move." Bar."

Seeing Zhao Mu's provocative move, Jiumozhi frowned. No matter how good-tempered he is, he can't help it when he sees such provocation.

"What an arrogant kid, I'll let you know today that the sky is high and the earth is high!" After saying that, Jiumozhi used Qinggong to stand up and fight.

Seeing Jiumozhi's attack, Zhao Mu responded cautiously with Tai Chi moves.

However, Zhao Mu abandoned the sword not because he looked down on Jiumozhi. But he really couldn't afford to lose this person.

He had profound skills and a good ear, and he heard all the comments made by the passerby. He was able to block the flaming knife with this crude move, but he only relied on his inner strength which was deeper than Jiumozhi. Commonly known as "flying bricks vigorously".

Compared to the Tai Chi swordsmanship he practiced for pure fitness, the Tai Chi he learned was even more proficient. Moreover, although the Tai Chi he learned was also for physical fitness, it was the basis of real martial arts.

Instead of continuing to embarrass himself with his sword, it would be better to win with a more familiar boxing technique.

As soon as Jiumozhi came up, he used the Bodhidharma Kick, one of the seventy-two Shaolin stunts. His kick was sharp and ruthless, and he directly hit Zhao Mu's chest and face.

Zhao Mu dodged sideways, bowed and tucked his abdomen to avoid the first two kicks. Facing the kick coming towards the door, he used the cloud-moving hand in Tai Chi to counterattack. Jiumozhi was spun around a few times by Zhao Mu's cloud-moving hand filled with Beiming Qi. Then he supported the ground with one finger, looked back and said, "What a good boxing technique!"

But as soon as Jiumozhi finished speaking, he stood up and attacked with his Bodhidharma kick again. His kicks were as sharp as a whirlwind, and he kept kicking in front of Zhao Mu.

Jiumozhi was behind him and struck Zhao Mu with the Shaolin Arhat Fist. Zhao Mu blocked the punch with his elbow, and used his Tai Chi cloud hand to suppress Jiumozhi's other punch. Jiumozhi used his fingers to pinch Zhao Mu's wrist, but Zhao Mu's hands turned into shields to catch it.

Then he used a wild horse parting mane move to hit Jiumozhi's chest and abdomen. Zhao Mu activated Beiming's Qi and hit Jiumozhi with his palm, and Jiumozhi was instantly knocked away.

Zhao Mu finished with the "single whip" in Tai Chi, making a handsome ending.

Seeing Jiumozhi who was knocked away by him and fell to the ground, Zhao Mu said: "Master accepts."

Jiumozhi stood up again with a sudden jerk. He touched his shocked chest and abdomen, and then asked: "What kind of boxing technique is this, sir?"

Zhao Mu smiled and said, "This doesn't bother me, Master."

Jiumozhi looked at the young man in front of him, the boxing technique he had never seen before, and Zhao Mu's fearless attitude. Jiumozhi couldn't help but feel a little timid.

Although they had just exchanged a few moves, Jiumozhi had used a lot of martial arts. He used Shaolin's Nianhua Finger, Bodhidharma Kick, Arhat Fist, and One Finger Zen to deal with each one, but he could never break Zhao Mu's protective energy.

If it had been anyone else, Bodhidharma's legs would have been injured by the leg wind carrying the true energy before the leg skills were fully developed. Both the Luohan Fist and the Flower Finger have the power to crack rocks, but they can't move Zhao Mu in the slightest.

Although martial arts moves are ever-changing and sophisticated, what really determines victory or defeat is the cultivation of internal strength. He couldn't hurt the young man in front of him at all, but he could shake him away with one palm. This shows that the other party's internal strength is higher than his own.

Jiumozhi put his hands together at this time and regained his former kindness. He said: "Amitabha. Your Excellency's internal strength is rarely seen in this world. I am ashamed of myself."

Zhao Mu said without hesitation: "In terms of martial arts skills and erudition, I am indeed not as good as the master, but when it comes to internal strength, the master should go back and practice for another twenty years."

Zhao Mu's words were not mocking this time, but speaking the truth.

Jiumozhi is only around fifty years old, while Zhao Mu possesses Wu Yazi's seventy years of pure Beiming skills. If there were no internal skills such as the Nine-Yang Divine Skill that could grow against the heavens, Jiumozhi would indeed have to practice for another twenty years if he wanted to defeat Zhao Mu with his internal strength.

Although Zhao Mu's words were a bit harsh, Jiumozhi did not have another attack at the moment.

Jiumozhi said: "It's just that I don't understand something. Why do you condescend to a small Dali country with your martial arts skills? With your ability, if you come to our country of Tubo, your majesty, Zanpu, must be treated as a national scholar." .”
