Comprehensive Martial Arts: Relying on Pili Martial Arts to Achieve Dimensionality Reduction Attack

Chapter 480 One Hundred Years of Solitude
After getting permission, One Hundred Years of Solitude happily got on the carriage.

When I got on the bus, I found that there were not only men but also women inside, and they were all young people. I was a little surprised for a moment.

"Thank you, my friend. What's your name?"

"My last name is Lu."

The people were invited by Lu Ping, so naturally he was the one to entertain them.

Hundred Years of Solitude nodded, looked at the people in the car, and asked, "Are you and your friends going to Dali for a trip?"

It is no wonder that he had such doubts, because the combination and appearance of the three men and three women in the car did not look like a family going to visit relatives and friends.

Lu Ping would not tell everyone about his situation, so he just pointed at Duan Yu and said, "This brother Duan is from Dali. We are invited by him to go to Dali to play for a few days."

"The surname Duan... Could he be a descendant of the royal family?"

One Hundred Years of Solitude's eyes clearly lit up.

Duan Yu smiled faintly and said politely, "I am the prince of Zhennan in Dali, Duan Yu."

The old swordsman said "Oh", squinted his eyes and looked Duan Yu up and down, but smiled and said nothing more.

"I wonder what the senior is going to do in Dali?"

"Seeing an old friend to discuss swordplay." Hundred Years of Solitude raised the long sword in his hand and replied loudly.

"On swordplay..."

When Lu Ping learned the name of the old swordsman who blocked his way, he immediately remembered his identity.

This person's name is One Hundred Years of Solitude.

This name is naturally not his real name, but comes from his unique sword-fighting philosophy of "life is only a hundred years, and eternity is loneliness."

One Hundred Years of Solitude, and also Guan Qi's kendo master.

According to Yan Kuangtu in the original work, his swordsmanship is very unique and has reached the limit of sword skills. It is quite orthodox and upright, but it also incorporates a lonely mentality.

After practicing for several decades, his achievements in swordsmanship were finally as good as Yan Kuangtu himself.

Lu Ping also knew that the character named One Hundred Years of Solitude was not a character in Wen Shu's book, but an original character in The Heroes of the Heroes, and that this person was just a background board and had never officially appeared.

In the martial arts world, few people have heard of his name, let alone seen his lonely swordsmanship.

The only time in the original work that allowed people in the martial arts world to get a glimpse of the situation was when Guan Qi went to attend the funerals of Li Chenzhou and Zhao Shirong after his power was wasted.

At that time, Guan Qi had wasted all his internal energy because of Xiaobai, but he was able to defeat Bai Choufei, who had mastered the "Three Finger Sky-shooting", with just his sword skills, leaving him with disheveled hair and in a miserable state. It can be seen that his sword skills were quite extraordinary.

In Lu Ping's opinion, the 'Lonely Sword Technique' is a fusion of the 'Nine Swords of Dugu' and the 'Unexplainable Sword Technique'.

Reaching the limit of sword skills, one can defeat all martial arts in the world;

By integrating a warrior's own emotions, one can reach the pinnacle of martial arts.

If you combine the two, practice diligently, and add a little talent, your achievements will naturally not be small.

"There aren't many sword masters in Dali, and the most famous sword technique there is the Duan family's 'Six Meridians Divine Sword'. Could it be that the old friend that the senior mentioned is from the Duan family in Dali?"

Bai Nian Gu Ji smiled and nodded when he heard this: "Yes, my old friend is indeed from the Duan family of Dali."

People in this world would never say something like 'Six Meridians Divine Sword is not a sword, it refers to a sword'.

As this matter concerns his own family, Duan Yu could not help but ask curiously: "I wonder which one of my clan members is your old friend?"

"Most of our Duan clan's ancestors became monks in Tianlong Temple in their later years. If your old friend is a martial arts master, he should be among them."

Judging from his appearance, One Hundred Years of Solitude is at least in his seventies or eighties. Those who can be called "old friends" by people of this age are most likely his peers.

In recent decades, the most famous member of the Duan clan in the martial arts world is Duan Zhixing, the former "Southern Emperor" and now "Master Yideng" who has become a monk.

However, Duan Zhixing's age is similar to that of the other three great masters, Huang Yaoshi, Hong Qigong, and Ouyang Feng. They are only in their sixties or seventies this year, which means they are half a generation apart. Therefore, he should not be the old friend who has been lonely for a hundred years.

"I have long forgotten your real name, but I still remember the name you were given after you became a monk."

Bai Nian Gu Ji laughed and said, “Because he saw that I used my self-created sword technique as my name, he also took the name of his own monkhood, which is the same as the technique he practiced, and called himself Kurong.” Kurong?

The carriage shook and Duan Yu almost bit his tongue.

"Senior's old friend is actually Master Ku Rong?!"

Duan Yu stared blankly at Hundred Years of Solitude with a look of shock. Although he did not practice martial arts, he had visited Tianlong Temple with Duan Zhengchun many times in previous years.

As time went by, he learned from the monks in the temple that there was once a royal clan member of the Duan family who had the highest martial arts skills and the greatest reputation for virtue, and who was named "Ku Rong" after becoming a monk, and was practicing among them.

Not only that, he is also the most senior elder in Tianlong Temple.

"From the tone of your voice, are you familiar with him?"

One Hundred Years of Solitude raised his eyebrows with a look of interest.

Duan Yu shook his head quickly: "No... Master Kurong rarely shows up in public because of his practice of the Kurong Gong. I have never seen him even once in my life."

After some conversation, Lu Ping finally learned about the past of Hundred Years of Solitude and Zen Master Ku Rong.

It turns out that the two had known each other decades ago.

At that time, Ku Rong had not yet become a monk, and had not even practiced the Ku Rong Gong, so not only was he as handsome as Duan Yu is now, he also had a head of thick, flowing long, black hair.

At that time, Hundred Years of Solitude was just a young swordsman who had just entered the martial arts world with a chivalrous heart.

It happened that foreign races were wreaking havoc on Han territory at that time. The two of them traveled the world together. During the war, they rescued many people and fought against many bandits who took the opportunity to cause chaos.

Not long after that, Yan Kuangtu and Xiao Qiu Shui called on people from both the black and white worlds to form an uprising army to drive out the Tartars. Their reputations rose rapidly, and Ku Rong and Hundred Years of Solitude also joined in.

However, due to the sensitive identities and positions of each of them, they withdrew halfway. Fortunately, the rebels finally succeeded in regaining the country.

Several years later, Hundred Years of Solitude and Withering each encountered love disasters.

Soon after, one of them became disheartened and became a monk, practicing the Kurong Gong, while the other one comprehended the "Lonely Sword Intent" and wandered around the world from then on.

However, every five years, they would reunite to exchange martial arts and share their latest news.

In the blink of an eye, decades have passed.

The past is long gone, and when One Hundred Years of Solitude finished its story, the carriage finally arrived at its destination, Dali City.

One Hundred Years of Solitude got off the car and said goodbye to Lu Ping and the others: "Thank you very much for giving me a ride. I'll use your story as my fare. It's just that..."

Seeing that he was originally very open and open, and did not shy away from his past, but now he was silent and hesitant to speak, Lu Ping could not help but feel curious and amused, so he said, "Senior, if you have any requests, please feel free to tell me."

"It's not a big deal, I just hope you don't tell those things to others."

Hundred Years of Solitude chuckled and added, "Of course I don't mind, but Ku Rong is very proud and violent, so you must remember not to spread the news recklessly."

"If he finds out, you'll be in big trouble!"

Everyone: "..."

Since you knew that this matter was not good to be spread outside, why were you so excited when you were gossiping about other people's love stories just now?

"Hehehe...we've made a note of it and we won't tell anyone about it!"

Hundred Years of Solitude was relieved when he saw that several people agreed. He smiled with satisfaction, nodded, and said goodbye and left.

Looking at his back, Lu Ping couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect that Zen Master Kurong would have such a bad friend. This life is really not in vain!"

After saying that, he turned around, only to find that several people were looking at him with strange eyes.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Several people said, "Since he is a bad friend, how can it be 'not in vain in this life'? I think based on what happened just now, it would be more appropriate to say that it is 'the biggest regret of his life'..."

"You don't understand this. Friendship between masters is like this."

The appearance of the withering and flourishing of One Hundred Years of Solitude just now made Lu Ping think of the humorous Jian Zi Xian Ji and the serious and sinister Fo Jian Fen Shuo.

I think the friendship between these two must be as deep as that between the two Taoist and Buddhist innates!
