Comprehensive martial arts: He was in the Jin Kingdom, but he returned to the Southern Song Dynasty

On a small island eighty miles away from Xiake Island.

The island is very exquisite and beautiful, and there are many rare animals and plants on the island.

Following the rules of natural selection and the law of the jungle, a complex, subtle, huge and sophisticated ecosystem is formed.

If they are not disturbed, they will survive forever in this remote place.

But suddenly, a tiny, bright light came from a very far distance, shining everywhere and making everything hot.

The sky suddenly lit up, and light and fire fell to the ground.

With a loud bang, countless lives on the entire island died at the same time.

Moreover, the causes of death vary and are not unique.

A beast that is good at running suddenly loses its legs. A bird that is good at flying suddenly loses its wings. A person with sharp teeth and claws becomes old and weak...

All kinds of creatures, whatever advantages they had, lost them at this moment.

Even plants are included.

All the plants lost their pride and withered and died.

This was like a joke from the Creator, causing a good little island to become extremely dilapidated and decadent in the blink of an eye.

It's really gray everywhere, and gloomy.

This is all the impact brought about by that little bit of light and fire.

In the center of the island, the light and fire revealed their true appearance. They were two people. One held a knife, and the other held a sword. They were Ding Peng and Gong Jiu who had just left the Knight Island.

Gong Jiu's face was weak and pale. As soon as he landed on the island, he immediately sat cross-legged and meditated to regulate his breathing.

These kinds of strange phenomena are the manifestation of his regulating his breathing and absorbing the spiritual essence of all things.

Just now on the Knight Island, Gong Jiu tried his best to deal with the Dragon Island Lord in order to win quickly, so that he could gain a huge advantage in a short period of time.

However, doing so would also shake his true strength and damage his foundation, so that even though he was not actually injured, he would still have to replenish the losses.

He was always able to take the essence of everything and use it for his own benefit, to heal wounds, attack enemies, kill people, and cure diseases. As for what happened to everything after it lost its essence, he didn't care at all.

Just looking at the fallen animals and withered plants, they all exuded an abundant green breath full of life force that was difficult to discern with the naked eye, and continuously flowed towards Gong Jiu.

His face gradually became rosy, plump and full of energy.

This is a completely selfish and self-interested path, but it is also this path that has supported Gong Jiu to where he is today and become a very terrifying grandmaster in the eyes of the world.

In the world of martial arts, there have always been righteous and evil ways.

There is no high or low in principles, only the level of means matters.

Gong Jiu suddenly exhaled and opened his eyes.

Logically speaking, he suffered a huge setback this time. Although he escaped unscathed, he was seriously injured and all his plans were ruined.

An ordinary person would have a gloomy complexion unless his qi and blood attacked his heart.

However, Gong Jiu had a smile on his face again.

After he stood up, he even hummed a little tune.

The scent coming out of the nose is decadent and both enchanting and beautiful.

Gong Jiu hummed a little tune for a while before turning around and bowing to Ding Peng: "Brother Ding, you are so kind. I have been having troubles and my plans were ruined by a kid. From now on, I will follow your lead."

It seemed that everything that happened, instead of defeating him, made him more calm.

There was no disturbance in his appearance or posture.

Ding Peng was secretly surprised when he saw the smile and heard the words. He couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that this kid already knew that I have been following him secretly."

"But he was in danger this time, and I saved him because I wanted to use him. We both understood each other tacitly, so there was no need to say it out loud."

"Since Wu Ming left, the Azure Dragon Society has been ruled by a few old guys headed by Jellyfish Yin Ji."

"In fact, we both want to bring them down and move into Tianxia, ​​but my foundation is shallow, so I can't do it for now."

"And Gong Jiu followed the 'Tian Jing Hu Po Tian Xia Chaos' incident from beginning to end. He is a direct descendant, and I am an outsider. He made full preparations, but I only found out when the matter was about to happen."

"So in the end, he had a chance, but I didn't. I must have had bad intentions in looking for him."

"He knows everything in his mind, but he doesn't show his emotions on his face. He pretends to be ignorant. He is quite evil and sinister."

"But his power is now destroyed. Facing Lu Chen, Shuiji Yinji, Li Chenzhou and the like, he will inevitably be at a disadvantage. So he just goes with the flow and cooperates with me. It's better not to talk about this and that and make things clear, which will only hurt the relationship."

Gong Jiu is an evil spirit.

And Ding Peng is the devil.

He stood aside, dressed in fine clothes, with a smile on his face, but his mind was filled with thousands of calculations, and he had sorted out everything clearly.

So facing Gong Jiu, he smiled and said, "What do you mean by following your lead? We are the younger generation of the Qinglong Society. We should cooperate well and wipe out all the enemies."

After some communication, the two understood each other's meaning: they would advance and retreat together from now on.

Gong Jiu nodded and suddenly said, "I only have one request, which is to kill Lu Chen."

Ding Peng asked in surprise: "You hate him?"

Gong Jiu shook his head: "I admire him." He smiled again: "The more I admire someone, the more I want to kill him."

Ding Peng nodded: "Well, you are indeed the selfish Gong Jiu who grabs the essence of all things. Your swordsmanship is evil, but you are a demon!"

He naturally understood in his heart that he was probably among those that Gong Jiu would kill.

But in this situation, the two of them were just starting to work together, so there was no need to say it out loud and ruin the mood.

But he turned his head and looked towards the island.

Looking at the annihilation and death of all living things, gradually a look of pity appeared in his eyes.

Gong Jiu raised his eyes and saw this expression. He was moved and said, "I didn't expect that Brother Ding, the leader of the Asura Demon Church, would be so sad and soft-hearted."

Ding Peng smiled faintly: "Sadness about the passing of years and womanly kindness, aren't they demons? The great way of the demons encompasses everything. Brother Gong, don't you know that the heaven and earth are not kind and treat all things as straw dogs?"

Gong Jiu said: "What do you mean by this?"

Ding Peng suddenly moved his eyes to meet Gong Jiu's, and said meaningfully: "Brother Gong naturally knows my past."

Gong Jiu was shocked in his heart, but on the surface he said in confusion: "Brother Ding is the descendant of the former leader Qiu Xiaolou of the Asura Zunmo Sect, and he has been trained since he was a child."

"Everyone knows this. I'm afraid Brother Ding's past is nothing more than years of hard training in martial arts, fighting against powerful enemies, and surviving through mountains of corpses and seas of blood."

Ding Peng laughed loudly: "Gong Jiu, don't treat me, Ding Peng, as a fool."

"When I joined the Azure Dragon Society at the recommendation of my father-in-law, I knew from the first time I met you that we were destined to be rivals."

"With your insidiousness and experience, how could you not check my past?"

Gong Jiu remained silent for a long time before he smiled bitterly and said, "Okay, okay, Ding Peng. I have checked you out, and of course I know your past."

"You were once a rising young swordsman who relied on the meteor from outer space to challenge masters everywhere. You were once noticed by Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng, but before you could grow to the Xiantian realm, you were killed by Liu Ruosong of the Wudang Sect."

There were thousands of twists and turns in his mind, and when he said this, he paid close attention to Ding Peng's expression.

In Gong Jiu's experience, given Ding Peng's shrewdness, there was no need to be too surprised even if his expression remained normal.

However, he felt that the more this was the case, the more it showed that this matter was of great importance to Ding Peng, and he had to deliberately treat it calmly to prevent others from discovering that this was his flaw.

On the other hand, if Ding Peng's expression changed drastically, with great love and hatred, and he couldn't bear to look back, that would also be a statement. But what Gong Jiu didn't expect was that Ding Peng showed a look of reminiscing about the past without any hesitation.

"Back then, I mistakenly believed that martial arts skills were the most important thing when traveling in the martial arts world, and that with martial arts skills, I could gain fame and fortune. But I was totally wrong. Liu Ruosong was no match for me, but he offered his wife to me and plotted against me to ruin my reputation."

"After that, I met Qingqing and my father-in-law by chance, and learned Xiaolou Listening to the Spring Rain in One Night and Ruyi Tianmo: Continuous Eight Styles, and I was reborn."

Ding Peng turned around and looked at Gong Jiu: "Brother Gong, do you know what I am thinking now when I recall the past?"

Gong Jiu pondered silently, but he was not pondering the question, but pondering whether he should tell the truth.

He was a man of ten thousand thoughts, but his heart suddenly moved and he thought of Lu Chen's advice.

Although Lu Chen was his mortal enemy and had ruined many of his things, the more Gong Jiu hated him, was angry with him, cared about him, and wanted to kill him, the more he valued his every word.

He thought Gong Jiu was petty and that when the Qinglong Society was lurking in the past, he still had the opportunity to succeed, but he used all kinds of conspiracies and tricks, and dangerous thoughts to harm people without being seen.

But in the chaotic times that followed, which were a time of great openings and closings, great successes and great failures, his methods were of no use.

Facts have proved that Lu Chen has relied on this method to grow from a small beggar to where he is today. It can be said that before he knew it, he has become one of the most sought-after young masters in Shenzhou today.

Gong Jiu’s martial arts skills were higher than Lu Chen’s, but he was still willing to ask, and immediately told the truth in his heart: “Is it regret, remorse, or disgust, anger?”

Ding Peng shook his head: "It's strange."

He said bluntly: "To me, that was simply another person's life. Or maybe, at that time, I was not awake at all, but a drunken person, an ignorant person, a person who had not yet been born."

"I don't think that Ding Peng is me at all. I'm just a brat who dreams of becoming famous with just a meteor from the sky. That can't possibly be me."

"It was this strangeness that finally made me realize the truth that 'heaven and earth are not benevolent.'"

"To heaven and earth, everything in the world is strange and has nothing to do with it. Do you understand? Heaven and earth are isolated from everything in the world and have no love or hate."

Ding Peng raised his hand, put the painting "Listening to the Spring Rain in a Small Building All Night" in his heart, and said with a smile: "So, I can see that God's will is as sharp as a knife."

Gong Jiu was stunned, and then he seemed to understand: "So that's why. It's because you are isolated from everything that you can have compassion on all living things. You can love, hate, and have compassion, but all love, hate, and compassion actually have nothing to do with you."

"Anyone who tries to take these superficial emotions as something meaningful will suffer the greatest pain in the world."

"In fact, you can kill anyone you want. You can even control your emotions. You can love or hate as you wish. This includes your wife and father-in-law."

"Even just now, I used this to observe your emotions. You can immediately make yourself sad and regretful, but all of this is not the real you, but it is no different from the truth."

"Ding Peng, you have been corrupted since the trauma you suffered in the past. You are heartless and treat everything as straw dogs. You are truly a demon!"

Ding Peng said nonchalantly, "I am a demon, and you are a monster. It seems that we are a group of monsters, destined to bring disaster to the world."

Gong Jiu also smiled and said, "It is my honor."

The two smiled at each other and left together.

……

On the other hand, Lu Chen and others finally stabilized an island of knights.

In a delicate atmosphere, several people negotiated the future direction.

Although Gong Jiu was not dead, Ding Peng's attack also made the owner of Longmu Island feel uneasy.

Gong Jiu alone is enough to defeat any one of them.

Originally, Lu Chen and others cut off his arms, one was Hong Antong and the other was Yuan Suiyun. The two island masters thought that with their combined strength, the opponent could not be offended, and coming would be a death wish.

But the addition of Ding Peng, who is not inferior to Gong Jiu, immediately makes the situation dangerous.

The two retreated this time because of the help of Lu Chen and others, but even someone as inexperienced as the Island Master Longmu knew that they could not stay on the Island of Heroes forever.

Not to mention, the previous remarks made by the Lord of Dragon Island seemed to be a stab in the back of the two of them.

If Gong Jiu really retreated, without this fight, the Dragon Island Lord could still treat it as normal.

But Gong Jiu didn't give him face. This fight, in which Lu Chen played an important role in turning the tide, made him blush and embarrassed.

Lu Chen understood this in his heart.

He took this opportunity to persuade the two of them to take the knights to walk through the stone wall and stay away from the Knight Island.

This is not difficult. With the skills of everyone present, they can carefully dismantle the entire mountain wall.

But for the moment, Lu Chen was not prepared to tell everyone the truth about the knight's magical powers.

On the one hand, they are somewhat unclear about the truth. It is a huge shock to those who have been blinded by martial arts.

On the other hand, it is because I only know some clues about practicing, and have not yet mastered it completely.

By that time, the knight will not be able to practice fake kung fu, and he doesn't know how to practice real kung fu. These people will be begging in vain and will go crazy. There will be too many variables.

Of course, the knight's magical skills are like a virus in martial arts. Once a person is infected, his thinking will be disordered.

It may even make people want to spread the magical skills.

This is a bit like Tomie.

When Lu Chen thought about this, he also felt that the knight's magical skills in the Nine Sky Boundless World might be related to some elements of horror stories.

Anyone in this world who has mastered magical skills will keep them secret.

Only knights can practice magical skills. If they cannot master them themselves, they will advertise them widely, wishing that everyone in the world could come and watch. But no one can master them.

If this effect occurs far away from overseas and in China, the impact would probably be terrifying.

Lu Chen imagined that everyone in the world was obsessed with one martial art and had no other desires, which was a bit creepy, so he strictly asked everyone not to spread the news of the knight's magical skills.

After thinking it over, the two island masters, Longmu, came to the general idea.

Among them, the spiritual communication between Master Mu of the Island and Lu Chen through the Great Compassion Mantra of Bliss did play a certain role, and Master Mu almost became Lu Chen's fellow Taoist, just like the seventh best in the world, Bai Choufei in the past.

His personality did not change, but many of the wrong ideas in his mind were corrected one by one.

He then tried to persuade the Dragon Island Lord, who listened carefully and found it quite reasonable.

In the past, it seems that I have been a bystander to the world, to the point of becoming somewhat narrow-minded.

In the current chaotic times, we should devote ourselves to China, make great efforts and create something.

At that moment, his mind suddenly became clear, and he and the Lord of Longmu Island agreed to many of Lu Chen's requests.

After this calculation, Lu Chen was also shocked.

It seemed that his own strength had grown without him noticing and had turned into a gigantic monster.

During this trip, they obtained the earth-attributed Nine Yin Scriptures, the Knight-errant stone wall, two One-Mie Grandmasters from the island master Longmu, and two Three-Combination Grandmasters Zhou Botong and Huang Yaoshi. It can be said that the harvest was quite fruitful.

The strength of the Five Mountains Alliance now has probably surpassed that of the Sun and Moon Sect, the East and West Factories, the Dragon Guarding Villa, and the Angry Dragon Gang, becoming the second in the Ming Dynasty, second only to Wudang.

It may even be as good as Wudang without Zhang Sanfeng.

Because there are hundreds of powerful people in the innate realm on the Island of Heroes. They are all martial arts geniuses that the Island Master Longmu has searched for and found. They have been cultivated for many years and are fascinated by the heroes' magical skills.

As soon as Gong Jiu left, the Islands Alliance collapsed. Many of their leaders were forced to submit and now naturally submit to Lu Chen. Among them are also many strong men in the innate realm.

This large group, when gathered together, is so powerful that it is enough to let Lu Chen and Wudang compete on equal terms.

Of course, Lu Chen knew that this was just the Wudang on the surface, and it did not include the mysterious force of the Ming Dynasty royal family.

But no matter what, his strength has greatly increased, and he is finally confident that he can participate in world affairs! (End of this chapter)
