Everyone else was shocked by this sudden turn of events. Zhang Wuji knew that this situation was very likely to happen, so when Zhang Wuji saw Kong Xiang attack Zhang Sanfeng, he also attacked Kong Xiang at the same time. However, Zhang Sanfeng's actions were even faster. After Zhang Sanfeng heard Zhang Wuji's reminder, he became wary of this Kong Xiang. At this moment, when Zhang Sanfeng saw Kong Xiang sneak attack him, he did not hesitate to retaliate. Yu Daiyan's limbs were crippled, so he could not stand up and help him. He could only shout the word 'careful.'
Zhang Sanfeng had been immersed in martial arts for many years. His strength was so deep that he had long reached the realm of doing whatever he wanted. At this moment, Zhang Sanfeng quickly used his left hand to block Kong Xiang's two palms, while his right hand hit Kong Xiang's head. With a loud 'pa', Kong Xiang's skull was instantly shattered, and he fell limply like a pile of mud. Without even making a sound, Kong Xiang died on the spot.
At this moment, Zhang Wuji hurriedly stepped forward and asked in a very concerned tone,"Grand Master, are you alright?"
After all, Zhang Sanfeng had lived for more than a hundred years. Because he was born in the Shaolin Temple when he was young, he had always been close to the Shaolin Temple. At this moment, Zhang Sanfeng couldn't help but sigh at what was happening in front of him. He said,"I'm fine. I'm just a little sad when I suddenly thought of the Shaolin Temple encountering such a calamity.”
Seeing Zhang Sanfeng like this, Zhang Wuji comforted him,"Grand Master, don't worry. Fearless already had some clues regarding this matter. Once this matter was over, Fearless would bring people to save the victims of the six major sects. Now that this monk wants to ambush Grand Master, he must have a backup plan. Our current task is to be careful and guard against a sneak attack. On my way here, I encountered some unidentified people heading towards Wudang Mountain. I reckon that there will be news soon.”
After Yu Daiyan knew that his master was fine, he felt relieved. At this moment, Yu Daiyan also said,"Master, Wuji is right. "A few days ago, Wuji sent someone to report that someone might come to attack Wudang Sect. I ordered my disciples to seal the mountain and strictly check the people who enter and exit. However, Master was in seclusion at that time and did not inform me.”After Zhang Sanfeng heard Yu Daiyan's words, he nodded and said,"Dai Yan, you did well. Then, let's see how the other party will make a move.”
Zhang Sanfeng pulled Zhang Wuji into the back hall. Meanwhile, Yu Daiyan was carried by Qingfeng and Mingyue toward the back hall. In the back hall, Zhang Wuji talked to Zhang Sanfeng and Yu Daiyan about his experiences over the years, causing Zhang Sanfeng and Yu Daiyan to be extremely surprised. After Zhang Wuji finished speaking, Zhang Sanfeng smiled and said,"Wuji, I didn't expect that your experiences in these few years would be more interesting than the experiences of your great master, who has been around for nearly a hundred years. If Cuishan and Susu knew that you had such a good fortune, they would be at ease.”
At this moment, Zhang Wuji said in an apologetic tone,""However, Wuji had no choice but to become the Ming Cult's cult master. He went against Grand Master's teachings back then. Grand Master, please punish him.”
Zhang Sanfeng was a calm and open-minded person. After hearing Zhang Wuji's words, Zhang Sanfeng smiled and said,"You were forced to do this at that time. What's there to punish? Moreover, according to what you said, there is no lack of kind-hearted people in the Ming Cult who value friendship. It's just that outsiders don't know much about them, which is why today's situation has formed. From now on, as the Sect Master, you should restrain the disciples and do more righteous deeds. Only in this way can you gradually resolve the grievances with the sects in the Central Plains.”After hearing Zhang Sanfeng's words, Zhang Wuji nodded and said,"Yes, Grand Master, Zhang Wuji knows.”
"Oh right, Master, you've been in seclusion for more than a year. I wonder what the result is?" Yu Daiyan asked.”Hearing Yu Daiyan's question, Zhang Sanfeng smiled and said,""Dai Yan, Wuji, I've been in seclusion for 18 months and have already obtained the essence of martial arts. I've perfected a set of Taiji Fist and Taiji Sword. This set of martial arts was completely different from the previous martial arts. What was important was to use static braking and strike after the enemy. Now, I'm already over a hundred years old. Even if I don't encounter a strong enemy, I don't have many years left to live. What I'm happy about is that I was able to create this martial art in my twilight years. Now, Yuanqiao and Lianzhou weren't here. Not long after, there might be strong enemies coming. In order to not let this martial art be lost, I'll teach it to the two of you now.”
Zhang Wuji looked at his grand master and heard Zhang Sanfeng's words. Zhang Wuji could not help but feel a little sad. Seeing Zhang Sanfeng treat him so sincerely, Zhang Wuji felt the warmth of home. " Don't say that, Grand Master," Zhang Wuji said." This time, our WuTang Sect will definitely be able to overcome this crisis."”Hearing this, Yu Daiyan said,"Yes, Master. Let's talk about the matter of imparting strength in the future. Moreover, I've been crippled for a long time. How can I learn fist techniques and sword techniques?”
But Zhang Sanfeng insisted,""Dai Yan, I know about your situation, but it's not the same as usual. It's better to pass it on to the two of you first. Especially Wuji, you have a deep cultivation of martial arts and you're still young, so you have to put in more effort to learn this martial art. We're getting old. You're Wudang's future hope!”
Hearing this, Yu Daiyan nodded and said,"Master, you're right. Young people like Wuji are the future hope of Wudang Sect. Fearless, you have to study hard later.”
Facing the care and teachings of the two elders, Zhang Wuji nodded heavily and said,"Grand Master, Third Martial Uncle, don't worry, Wuji will not disappoint you.”
Thus, Zhang Sanfeng slowly stood up. His hands hung down, the back of his hands facing outward, his fingers slightly stretched, and his feet were parallel to each other. Then, his two arms slowly raised to his chest, his left arm was half-circled, and his palm and face faced each other to form a Yin palm. His right palm turned over to form a Yang palm. At this moment, Zhang Sanfeng said,""This is the opening stance of Taiji Fist."
Then, Zhang Sanfeng demonstrated the moves one by one. At the same time, Zhang Sanfeng didn't stop himself from saying the names of the moves," Holding the sparrow's tail, single whip, raising the hand, white crane spreading its wings, hugging knees, hook steps, hand playing pipa, moving forward to block the hammer, like sealing and closing, cross hands, hugging the tiger back to the mountain…
Zhang Wuji watched intently. Now, Zhang Wuji's martial arts skills were extremely sinister. At this moment, Zhang Wuji was looking at his Grand Master's every move, and it was vividly reflected. Zhang Wuji could not help but sigh in his heart."It really lives up to its reputation. Grand Master's martial arts is really brilliant. It can be said that it has created a new world of martial arts.”
After about a meal, Zhang Sanfeng practiced to the point where he grabbed the sparrow's tail and combined Tai Chi with a single whip. Then, he stood calmly on the spot. At this moment, after Zhang Sanfeng finished practicing a set of Taiji Fist, Zhang Sanfeng said,"The key to this fist technique is: " Emptiness Spirit Top Strength, Embracing Chest and Pulling Back, Loosening Waist and Lowering Buttocks, Lowering shoulders and Falling Elbows." These sixteen words were purely executed with intent. The most taboo was to use force. The essence of this set of fist techniques was the unity of spirit and body.”After saying this, Zhang Sanfeng continued to explain every move in detail to Zhang Wuji and Yu Daiyan.
Yu Daiyan and Zhang Wuji listened attentively to Zhang Sanfeng's explanation. When they encountered something they didn't understand, they asked. However, because Yu Daiyan was not very experienced, he only understood 30 - 40% of Zhang Sanfeng's explanation. However, Zhang Wuji was different. He had a very deep foundation in martial arts. At this moment, with the guidance of Zhang Sanfeng, a martial arts master, he had made rapid progress and had already comprehended seventy to eighty percent of it. If he slowly experienced it for a few more days, he would naturally be able to fully grasp the essence of Taiji Fist.
After Zhang Sanfeng asked Zhang Wuji and Yu Daiyan about their understanding, he said,"Dai Yan, it must have been hard for you to do it in such a short time. However, Fearless, your comprehension ability is a pleasant surprise. In the future, he could slowly comprehend it when he had time. Your primary task now is to remember the moves and heart techniques of martial arts. Next, I will demonstrate the contents of the Taiji Sword to you. Watch carefully. This sword technique focuses on the spirit being first and the meaning of unending. Experience it with your heart.”
After saying that, Zhang Sanfeng shouted outside the hall,"Tong 'er, bring the sword over." Not long after, a young Wudang disciple walked in with a long sword in his hand and handed it to Zhang Sanfeng. After Zhang Sanfeng took the sword, he stood on the spot and concentrated on regulating his breathing. After a moment, Zhang Sanfeng held the sword in his right hand and formed a sword seal with his left hand. His hands formed a circle and he slowly raised them. At the same time, he said,"This is the starting stance of the Taiji Sword, followed by the Three Rings Moon, Big Stalwart Star, Swallowing Water, Left Block Sweep, Right Block Sweep…”Zhang Sanfeng practiced the moves of the Taiji Sword one by one until he reached the fifty-third move of the compass. Then, Zhang Sanfeng drew a circle with both hands at the same time, turning it into the fifty-fourth move, Returning Sword. Zhang Wuji remembered Zhang Sanfeng's words. He did not rush the move on purpose and only focused on understanding the concept of the sword move.
After Zhang Sanfeng finished practicing, he asked Yu Daiyan,"Dai Yan, did you see it clearly?"
"Yes, Master." Yu Daiyan replied.”
"Do you still remember?"
At this moment, Yu Daiyan said in shame,"Master, please forgive me. I really can't understand the mysteries of this Taiji sword in a short period of time.”
Hearing this, Zhang Sanfeng said to Zhang Wuji,""Wuji, what about you?"
"I saw it clearly, but I've forgotten most of it."”
Yu Daiyan knew that his experience was not enough, so he placed all his hopes on Zhang Wuji. When Yu Daiyan heard that Zhang Wuji had forgotten most of it, he said,"Master, your sword technique is too profound. It's hard for Fearless to remember it after seeing it once. Please demonstrate it again for Fearless.”
After hearing Yu Daiyan's words, Zhang Sanfeng smiled and said,"Alright, I'll use it again." After saying that, Zhang Sanfeng raised his sword and started practicing. Yu Daiyan had only seen two moves when he realized that something was wrong. It turned out that Zhang Sanfeng's moves were completely different from the previous two. However, Yu Daiyan did not disturb Zhang Sanfeng. He knew that his master must have a reason for doing so.
After practicing again, Zhang Sanfeng put away his sword and asked,""Child, how is it now?"
Hearing this, Zhang Wuji thought carefully and said,"There are still three moves that I haven't forgotten."
When Zhang Sanfeng heard this, he nodded and did not say anything. Instead, he put away his sword and sat down. Just as Yu Daiyan was about to ask Zhang Wuji what was going on, he was stopped by Zhang Sanfeng. Zhang Wuji closed his eyes and pondered on the spot. After a while, Zhang Wuji suddenly opened his eyes and said happily,"Now, I've forgotten all about it. Completely forgotten.”Zhang Sanfeng smiled and said,""Not bad, not bad, you forget so quickly.”
Yu Daiyan, who was standing at the side, was completely confused by the words and deeds of the grandfather and grandson duo. Just as Yu Daiyan was about to ask for the reason, a disciple's voice suddenly came from outside the hall. Zhang Sanfeng called the disciple in and asked what had happened. The disciple said,"Greetings, Grandmaster. The Demon Cult's troops have arrived outside the mountain gate and want to see Grandmaster. They even said foul words and said that they want to flatten Mount Wudang.”
After Zhang Sanfeng heard the report, he said to the disciple,"Tell them to wait in the True Martial Palace first. We'll go there later.”Then, Zhang Sanfeng said to Yu Daiyan and Zhang Wuji,"Dai Yan, Wuji, we haven't had the chance to talk properly. If we really fight later and we can't win, the two of you can leave first. Remember my words. Only by living will you have a chance. Now, let's go and take a look together.”
At this moment, Zhang Wuji said," Grand Master, don't worry. The Ming Cult's reinforcements and Guo Wuyou should be here soon. By then, we might not be defeated."”When Zhang Sanfeng heard this, he did not say anything. Instead, he slowly stood up and walked towards the True Martial Palace. Zhang Wuji and Yu Daiyan, who was carried by two children, followed behind Zhang Sanfeng and walked towards the True Martial Palace together.
