Pawn Crossing the River

"Tantai Boxing", as the name suggests, is mostly named after the founder's surname, which is similar to Chen's Boxing and Wang's Boxing. If the surname "Tantai" were not quite rare, it can be said to be an ordinary name.

By coincidence, if Qi Xuansu could marry Zhang Yuelu, then his mother-in-law would also have the surname Tantai, and she would be a descendant of a Confucian sage. It is said that there is also a Tantai lineage within the Taoist sect, but Qi Xuansu has only heard about it and has never seen it.

Lei Xiaohuan explained: "This fist is inherited from a Taoist senior."

"Tantai Yun?" Qi Xuansu asked.

Lei Xiaohuan's eyes lit up: "What an insight."

Qi Xuansu was a little embarrassed: "I don't dare to praise him. There is this Taoist senior in the 'Xuansheng Card', so I know it."

Lei Xiaohuan was silent for a while before asking: "What is the 'Xuansheng Card'?"

Pei Xiaolou explained: "A kind of playing card similar to leaf cards is called 'Xuansheng card' because it was invented by Xuansheng. It includes Taoism, Buddhism, Confucianism and ancient immortal figures when Taoism was rejuvenated. We These people who grew up in Daomen have all played.”

This is true, the "Xuansheng Card" is only circulated within the Taoist sect, and few outsiders know that Lei Xiaohuan was originally from the imperial court, and later married into the Taoist sect, so it is reasonable to not know the "Xuansheng Card".

"So that's it." Lei Xiaohuan nodded, "Since you know this Taoist senior, there is no need for me to explain her life history. Back then, Tantai Yun left the Central Plains and went to the far west. Many years later, someone returned to Kunlun and brought Tantaiyun's relics, saying that Tantaiyun had ascended and passed away. A large proportion of her relics were written books, including travel notes about her experiences outside the territory, as well as her past. This book is a very small part of her memories and her reflections on what she has learned throughout her life. It was originally nameless, but later generations summarized it and named it 'Tantai Boxing Yi'."

Of course Qi Xuansu knew Tantaiyun's life, and she was also a powerful person back then. She was as famous as Emperor Daxuan Gaozu, the father of Xuansheng, the Earth Master who attacked Dazhen Mansion, and the Heavenly Master who repaired Difei Mountain. The legacy she left behind The fist intention must be extremely profound.

Lei Xiaohuan continued: "According to the standards of the Taoist sect, this boxing intention is not considered a great method, at most it is a perfect method. However, you should not underestimate the superior method. When Xuan Sheng fought with others, as long as it was With bare hands, you will always use a palm technique that is just a perfect method, but this palm technique has caused countless people to suffer."

Qi Xuansu's face turned solemn: "This is natural."

In fact, Qi Xuansu did not dare to ask for any great method. If we put aside the cultivation method of inheritance, even Zhang Yuelu only possesses two great methods. This is the result of the combination of the earth master's blue eyes.

Lei Xiaohuan pointed at the boxing manual in Qi Xuansu's hand and said, "Don't think that this is a gift from me and you're embarrassed to open it in person. You'd better take a look first. If you don't understand something, I can help you answer your questions." To clear up the confusion. By the way, there is a preface to this boxing manual, but it is a preface to the entire inheritance, not just for the boxing manual."

Qi Xuansu straightened his expression, opened the cover, and saw the printed small letters on the title page: "I studied as a young man to cultivate my Qi, and as a young man I practiced Taoism and practiced Qi. After I was thirty years old, I abandoned Taoism and joined martial arts. I saw God and did not become evil. In the end, I An ever-changing realm.”

Qi Xuansu's eyelids twitched and he secretly said, "Good guy."

As expected, this senior Tantai was from the Tantai family of the Confucian sect. He was originally a disciple of the Confucian sect, but later joined the Taoist sect and followed the Earth Immortal inheritance. Then he moved halfway from the earthly immortal inheritance of the Qi Master to the human immortal inheritance of the martial artist. Not only did he not stand still, but at the age of thirty, he entered the ever-changing realm of the martial artist, which is the immeasurable stage of the heavenly being.

What kind of talent is this? Donghuang is nothing more than that.

Qi Xuansu is also twenty-five years old this year, and will turn thirty in five years. However, he is still three realms behind the innate human stage. This is all thanks to "Xuanyu". Without "Xuanyu", Qi Xuansu would be at the Kunlun stage, even worse.

I would like to ask, can Qi Xuansu cross three realms and reach the stage of immeasurable heaven and man in five years? Qi Xuansu felt anxious. Time was running out. Multiplied by ten times, fifty years was still about the same.

But if it were Zhang Yuelu, there should be hope. After all, Tantaiyun's transformation path is definitely not without any losses, and there must be hidden dangers that affect her ascension to the realm. In other words, if Tantai Yun had chosen the human-immortal path from the beginning, he might have been able to reach this realm earlier.

Qi Xuansu then looked down: "Unconfused, I have been stuck in the bottleneck of creation for three years, with no way forward, so I abandoned martial arts and followed the Tao again, finally saw the road to immortality, reborn, and obtained the supreme magical power of 'Tai Su Xuan Gong' ”

Qi Xuansu didn't know what to say.

"Three years", "Long time", I don't know, I thought I was stuck for thirty years. Is this the mentality of a peerless genius? Then he returned from the human-immortal path to the earth-immortal path. Is this the confidence of a peerless genius? How can this be embarrassing for those people who only achieved immortality in their seventies and eighties? What can a person like Qi Xuansu say who doesn't even know where to open the door to immortality?

The gap between people is so huge.

Qi Xuansu took a deep breath and continued reading: "After attaining immortality, the hidden dangers that had been accumulated for many years finally emerged. It turned out that for several more years, there was no progress."

Qi Xuansu was too lazy to say anything. Fortunately, there was no "long" after "several years" this time. It seems that this senior Tantai finally understood that several years on a certain threshold is not a big deal. You know There are many people who are stuck for life, and there are even more people who can't even touch or see the threshold, let alone be stuck by the threshold.

"In the eighth year of Tianbao, I met the ancient great witch named Yang in the Kunlun Mountains. Thanks to Wu Yang's guidance, I once again abandoned Taoism and entered martial arts, and now there is a smooth road in front of me. Fortunately, I am very fortunate."

This sentence contained so much information that Qi Xuansu didn't know where to start.

The Tianbao reign was the reign of the last emperor of the Wei Dynasty. If Qi Xuansu remembered correctly, Tantaiyun had already proclaimed himself emperor at that time. As a result, when Tantaiyun wrote the preface, he did not use his own reign name, but instead used the reign name of Wei Dynasty. Is this to facilitate future generations? Or did Tantaiyun himself think that the Wei Dynasty was the orthodoxy of the world at that time? As expected of a Confucian disciple, even if he rebelled and became emperor, he felt deep down that his reputation was not justified.

There were eleven great witches in ancient times, and Wu Yang was among them, but they were very different from the ten great witches such as Wu Luo. If we take the Dao sect as an example, Wu Yang is very similar to Tantai Yun. Wu Yang is nominally the eleventh great shaman of the ancient shamanism, and Tantai Yun is also nominally the great master of the Tao sect Pingzhang, but Wu Yang has always been wandering in the ancient world. Outside of the witchcraft religion, Tantai Yun has always been outside the Taoist sect.

Furthermore, Qi Xuansu often had strange dreams in the past, but this dream changed again after he got the "Xuan Jade".

According to his guess, the eleven figures he saw in the dream were the eleven great witches of the ancient witch sect, and the last tiny figure that appeared was Wu Yang. Her kicking over the fire seemed to mean that the six enlightened witches rebelled. Ten witches emerged from Lingshan.

Tantaiyun actually met Wu Yang? That was more than 200 years ago. It has been 1,500 years since the ancient witchcraft religion was destroyed. Unexpectedly, there are still ancient witches active in the world. Coupled with a Wu Yang who is making trouble, it seems that the great witches of the ancient witchcraft religion are still alive. They are not completely dead, they are still nostalgic for this world, but what about the other nine great witches? Especially Wu Xian, the leader of the Ten Witches who was murdered by Wu Luo. Where is she?

As for the final transformation of Tantai Yun's inheritance, Qi Xuansu was already numb. He jumped repeatedly, right? Good talent means having confidence. The inheritance barrier that others regard as a natural chasm does not seem to exist. If you want to practice Qi, you can practice Qi. If you want to practice martial arts, you can practice Qi. By practicing martial arts, one can make great progress all the way, and achieve immortality before the age of fifty. Considering that Tantaiyun once proclaimed himself king, now he is a suitable candidate for the headmaster. It's a pity that she was born in Xuansheng's era, and was overshadowed by Xuansheng's light, so she had to go to the Western Regions. It was considered that she was born at the wrong time.

On the other hand, others can switch paths, but they will suffer heavy losses. It is like learning Eastern ink painting instead of studying Western oil painting. There are some similarities, but you still have to start from scratch. There are also some people who cannot even change their path, such as Qi Xuansu. Tantaiyun was very good at studying ink painting, but when he switched to oil painting, he improved to a higher level. After hitting a bottleneck, he came back to continue studying ink painting, and then oil painting. Finally, he integrated everything and learned everything, and became a generation of painting saints.

It can only be said that people deserve to be better than others.
