Jagged City - Chapter 350 Three Lightness Skills

When Lin Tao jumped off the plum blossom pile, there was no sound in the audience, everyone was stunned, and they were all dumbfounded. 【 】I simply forgot to applaud and applaud, because Lin Tao's appearance has surpassed their performance, it is not wonderful to describe, it is simply a miracle.

"Zhenwu, great job!" Lin Zhennan was crying with tears in the corners of his eyes, obviously weeping with joy, it was not easy for Mr. Lin to be so emotional for this majestic and strong leader of the Lin clan all his life.

Seeing the old man holding his hand so excitedly, Lin Tao was also very moved, and couldn't help shouting 'Grandpa! '

"Good boy, great grandson!" Lin Zhennan wept with real joy, and couldn't help wiping his tear-filled eyes with his hands.

"Thank you two old men for cultivating Zhenwu so well. On behalf of the Lin clan, I kowtow to the two old men!" Lin Zhennan pushed the Jinshan upside down jade pillar, and knelt down to the two old men.

"Amitabha, the poor monk would also like to thank Donor Lin for giving birth to a good grandson! Don't do that!" Huiming Lin Zhennan knelt down and said with a smile.

He didn't kneel down, someone ran over and knelt down.

"Master, please accept me as a registered disciple!" A little old man with a serious expression lifted his clothes and fell to his knees, knocking his head three times in a row.Not far away, behind the Wudang elders was another young Taoist, with envy, jealousy, and a trace of resentment flashing in his eyes, his expression was very complicated.

"Qinghui, why didn't you follow your brother to apprentice as a teacher, your aptitude is even higher than your brother's, and you will definitely shine under the Hunyuan Wuji Taixuan sect." Wudang's second elder asked with a complicated expression.The two boys beside them have not been under the Wudang sect all the time, but last year, the two elders of Wudang went to Changbai Mountain to rescue an old man who picked medicine from the cliff. In Changbai Mountain, I heard that my ancestor Li Shizhen once learned folk secret recipes and identification of medicinal materials from the old man of the Du family. Li Shizhen lived in the Du family for a year in Changbai Mountain, and the Du family also learned a lot of medical skills from Li Shizhen.But the Du family lived on collecting herbs for generations and did not practice medicine. Only those who knew the basics would seek them out for treatment and prescription.These Du Qingmei and Du Qinghui are the grandsons of the old man who picked herbs after being rescued by the two elders of Wudang.This old man Du also knows the method of exhalation, the way of health preservation, and he is quite skilled in martial arts. Otherwise, he would not be able to cross mountains and ridges and pick medicinal materials on cliffs.Knowing that the one who saved him was a real master, the old man begged the Wudang elders to accept his two grandsons when he was dying, and presented them with thousand-year-old ginseng.It was precisely because of this root of ginseng that the old man's son and daughter-in-law died tragically under the guns of gangsters.Two orphans, Du Qingmei and Du Qinghui, were left behind.The elders of Wudang heard the thousand-year-old ginseng, and they were also secretly delighted. Seeing that these two young people are so smart and handsome, they are simply born to practice martial arts. Therefore, they agreed to inspect the disaster victims for three years. If they pass the test, they will be accepted as disciples. Let the second primary school have no worries about food and clothing for a lifetime.

Old man Du asked his grandson to take out a sealed wooden box hidden under the water tank, and asked his grandson to open the box. When the two elders of Wudang saw the almost human-shaped thousand-year-old ginseng, their eyes were bright, and a ray of greed flashed in their eyes.Old man Du pushed the thousand-year-old ginseng to the Wudang elders, then said please, and swallowed his last breath.The Wudang elders helped with the funeral and returned to Wudang with the two teenagers.Let them be boys in Houshan, responsible for bringing tea and water to the Wudang elders, cleaning the yard and so on.At the end of the year, the two Wudang elders took the risk of eating thousand-year-old ginseng, and used the ferocious medicinal power to break through the innate in one fell swoop.The two old guys put their lives on the line to survive, but they didn't expect it to happen.Although Erxiao stayed in Wudang Mountain for a year, he was not a Wudang disciple.

Du Qingmei and Du Qinghui are twins, but they look different, so they can be easily distinguished. The two brothers also have different personalities. Du Qingmei has her own opinions, but her personality is calm and slightly introverted.Du Qinghui is free and easy, but his personality is a bit extreme.The two grew up together, but Du Qinghui was competitive and wanted to surpass his elder brother Du Qingmei in everything. They practiced martial arts together, identified herbs together, and followed their grandfather to collect herbs.After coming to Wudang, Du Qinghui also wanted to win the favor of the elders of Wudang as soon as possible, and beat his elder brother in martial arts.Today, Du Qingmei paid homage to Lin Tao as a teacher, but Du Qinghui thought that although Lin Tao was great, the two elders of Wudang were not bad, not to mention that in the future, if he inherited the true teaching of Wudang, he would have a chance to be the head teacher, and he would be much better than any Hunyuan sect.Furthermore, kneeling down and begging his elder brother Du Qingmei in public like this, he couldn't save face.

So when the Wudang elders asked him why he didn't worship Lin Tao as his teacher with his elder brother, Du Qinghui said respectfully: "In my heart, I have already been a disciple of Wudang, and I would rather serve the two masters and learn the true skills of Wudang. Wudang is The Holy Land of Martial Arts is not comparable to the wild ways of Hunyuanmen."

Du Qinghui talked about the heart of the two elders of Wudang, and couldn't help laughing: "My boy, you are the closed disciple of both of us from now on. Your intelligence is higher than that of your brother, and I think your achievements will be higher than his in the future. You I will not regret my choice today."

Lin Tao looked at Du Qingmei and asked, "Xiao Daoist, aren't you a member of Wudang sect? Do you want to change sect? Does your teacher agree?"

As Lin Tao spoke, he looked at the Wudang elders, who stepped forward and smiled and said, "Benefactor Lin is overthinking, this Du Qingmei and Du Qinghui brothers are only staying in Wudang Mountain temporarily, and they are not my Wudang disciples. Du Qingmei's background is innocent, this point Benefactor Lin is at ease. Being able to enter the Hunyuan Gate is also Du Qingmei's good luck. I, Wudang, will not do things that hinder people's future."

Lin Tao had long fallen in love with this spiritual brother, but it was a pity that the two brothers were disciples of Wudang. He did not expect this to be the case, so he was naturally very happy.

Lin Tao nodded and said: "Du Qingmei thinks that you are eager to seek a teacher, so I can temporarily recruit you as a disciple. However, I don't know your character and quality yet. If you want to become my registered disciple, it will take time to test."

"The disciple is willing to accept the test, thank you master for fulfilling it." Du Qingmei said happily.

Lin Tao asked Du Qingmei to get up, and Du Qingmei stood behind Lin Tao excitedly, but when she saw her younger brother, her face changed several times. Just before the apprenticeship, the two argued for a while, and Du Qingmei felt very sorry that her younger brother did not want to apprentice together .

Tan Batian said: "The second competition was very exciting. Master Lin's strength conquered everyone. Let's go to the third Qinggong competition venue?"

"Martial nephew, I don't think it matters, Lord Zhenwu's lightness kung fu is far superior to mine." Fei Hezi didn't feel ashamed when he said this, because Lin Tao's performance had already convinced him.

The great monk of Shaolin Temple recited the Buddha's name and said: "Master Feihezi's lightness kung fu is a masterpiece in martial arts, and the master of Lin sect is even more extraordinary in martial arts. I don't think the third match can be counted as a competition. It should be a performance for all martial arts fellows to open their eyes to." vision."

"Yes, yes, nowadays, light kung fu is almost extinct in the world of martial arts, and I hope the Taoist master will demonstrate the real light kung fu, so that these juniors will ignite hope in their hearts and rely on the prestige of Chinese martial arts."

Everyone followed to persuade, and they were very eager to monitor Qinggong.In today's society, martial arts sects are weak, and there are very few people who are willing to spend ten or twenty years learning martial arts. They are basically rushing to do some taekwondo, karate and the like. Chinese martial arts, even in martial arts competitions, are performance-oriented.Basically flowery.Even among the so-called martial arts masters present, there were quite a few who had no internal skills at all.I usually just exercised my physical strength and practiced moves.As the saying goes, if you practice tricks without practicing kung fu, you will end up with nothing.There is also lightness work, mainly in the word lightness, not jumping far, jumping high is lightness work.Lightness exercises should truly show the "lightness" of the body.There was once a story about a chivalrous man who knew how to do light work in order to punish a fruit dealer who was often short of money.After eating five catties of fruit, he refused to admit that he had eaten five catties, saying that he only ate two catties, and started arguing with the hawker.They all say their own things.When the number of onlookers increased, the chivalrous man said that he didn't weigh five catties, so how could he eat five catties of fruit?Everyone didn't believe it, thinking that the chivalrous man was messing around, and finally weighed it. The chivalrous man pulled the scale hook, and the weigher easily lifted it up. After careful weighing, the weight was only three catties and six taels.Everyone is incredible.How can a person be so light.The hawker knew that he had met a strange person, so he quickly admitted his mistake, saying that in the future, he would ensure that the business would be fair and that he would no longer be short of money.This story is a bit suspenseful, but it just reflects the characteristics of light work.Qinggong not only makes the body flexible, but also makes the body light. Although this violates the laws of physics, it is the peculiarity of Qinggong.I remember that on TV programs, I also saw the performance of stepping on eggs and stepping on balloons without breaking. A large living person weighing more than 20 kg can be supported by two eggs, which shows that the body has become lighter.

At the invitation of everyone, Fei Hezi will perform Dengping Water Crossing.Everyone came to the lotus pond, because it was winter, the lotus had already withered.Therefore, in the pond, five wooden boards with a diameter of ten centimeters and a thickness of half a centimeter were placed.The width of the water surface is 25 meters.The distance between the boards is five meters.This 100-jin big living person had to run across the water on a plank. Tan Batian first said a few words about the topics and legends about lightness kung fu, and then faced the crowd, asking if he had tried it before Fei Hezi performed.

A young man stood up and said: "I saw a video on the Internet. There are foreigners who use their running speed to run directly from the land to the water surface. They ran about ten meters on the water surface before falling into the water. Is this considered light work?" , Is it better than Dengping crossing the water? Is it because when a person runs faster, the body becomes lighter, and this is lightness work? I would like to ask the seniors present to explain. "

Although many people are martial arts masters, they can run fast and jump high, but they really don't have ten-meter research on Qinggong.Facing the young man's question, there was a lot of discussion, but he couldn't say anything.In the end, I had to ask Feihezi.Feihezi thought for a while and said: "Although speed is conducive to taking advantage of lightness skills, fast speed is not lightness skills. The foreigners you mentioned use the speed of running to quickly step on the water. I haven't tried this, but I will demonstrate it." You don’t need to run, you just step on the wooden boards on the water. I feel that what foreigners perform is not lightness kung fu. I don’t know what Master Zhen Wu thinks?”

Fei Hezi asked Lin Tao the question, and Lin Tao had actually seen that video, thought for a while and couldn't help laughing: "As for the problem of speed and mass, I think physicists can explain it. Airplanes use speed and air pressure to fly. , maybe speed can affect lightness kung fu. As for what the Taoist priest said, you can step on a wooden plank without running. I think the speed is still used at the moment of stepping on it. But the control of lightness kung fu is more important. I think it’s better for the Taoist priest to demonstrate Let’s take a look, everyone carefully observe and understand.”

The young man thought for a while, and his heart brightened. Master Bodhidharma crossed the river with a reed, which is different from Dengping crossing the water. That is the real lightness kungfu! The audience was discussing a lot, and the young people wanted to express their own opinions, but after thinking about it, let it go. This is suspected of belittling Taoist priest Feihezi. If you do it personally, you are purely talking on paper.After a while, amidst everyone's applause, Feihezi came out and walked to the edge of the pool.Feihezi stood by the water, seeming to be breathing. After about 20 seconds, Feihezi jumped up suddenly, with his arms outstretched, like a big bird, with his toes touching the small wooden board on the water, and the board suddenly sank , but Feihezi had already bounced and jumped to the second plank. After repeating this five times, Feihezi jumped to the opposite bank, winning warm applause and cheers from everyone.

Fei Hezi clasped his fists to everyone, also slightly proud.

"Show me your ugliness. With my lightness skills, I can barely reach Dengping crossing, but I still can't do it without a trace, let alone crossing the river with a reed. Everyone still invites Zhenwu Gong and Master Lin to demonstrate the real Take it easy."

Amid the applause of the crowd, Lin Tao came to the water's edge. If he stepped on the wooden plank, it would not show Lin Tao's ability. Although the previous two games frightened these people, but at this moment, it needs to be fueled again.Lin Tao released his true energy, as if adding countless invisible wings to his body, using the tension of the air to reduce the downward gravity of his body, while Lin Tao stepped forward with one foot and walked directly to the water surface.Everyone held their breath, Lin Tao didn't want to step directly on the water, did he?When Lin Tao stepped on the water with one foot and raised the other foot, everyone seemed to have their hearts stopped. They watched Lin Tao standing steadily on the water, like a fallen leaf gently falling on the water.There was no ripple at all.Lin Tao walked to the middle of the pool under the almost dumbfounded eyes of the crowd, then turned around, smiled at the crowd, and said with fists in his hands, "You're making a fool of yourself."

After finishing speaking, Lin Tao bent his knees and stepped on the water with both feet, and a round hole was pressed out under his feet.With the help of his body, he rose into the air and shot towards the shore like a cannonball. Under the astonished eyes of everyone, it landed steadily in front of everyone's eyes.

"Such lightness, peerless lightness!"

"Bodhidharma still has to cross the river with a single reed, Master Lin is walking on waves! Amazing!"

Surprisingly woke up, exclaimed constantly.Fei Hezi's face was flushed with excitement, his mouth was open as if he forgot to breathe, he calmed down after a while, and said to the frightened two senior brothers: "Senior brother, this is the lightness kung fu, this is the lightness kung fu I yearn for! "

Lin Qingmei's excited little face turned red, and she was very excited. When she saw her younger brother not far away, her eyes were filled with surprise and envy, but also regretful.In the end, he was ridiculed by his younger brother Du Qinghui, saying that he was showing off and showing off his might.It is said that even if Lin Tao taught him the peerless lightness kung fu, he might not be able to learn it well.He, Du Qinghui, would definitely practice such lightness kung fu in Wudang, and so on. Angrily, Du Qingmei pointed to his brother, said, you are not my brother, and then flung his sleeves and walked away.In fact, Du Qinghui wanted to worship Lin Tao as a teacher very much at this moment, but when his brother persuaded him, he immediately turned his back on him, and made an ironic statement, which drove his brother away.

Lin Tao's lightness performance once again shocked everyone. Many people thought that the legendary martial arts saint was nothing more than the same. Three young people who came with the teacher, after obtaining the teacher's consent, knelt down in front of Lin Tao and asked to be included in the sect. .

In these three competitions, Lin Tao can be said to have performed three times. He not only shocked Wudang Mountain, but also made a great reputation. He became a martial sage in many people's hearts. The news spread quickly in the Jianghu, but most people didn't believe it. , I think this is hype and bragging, and there are many hidden masters in the folk who want to compete with Lin Tao.It brought a lot of trouble to Lin Tao in the future.
