I am Zhao Zhijing, a poor Taoist priest, and I have disciples all over the world.

In the quiet moonlight, the bamboo door of the courtyard was pushed open from the inside to the outside, and a tall figure walked out slowly.

He had a ruddy face, white beard and eyebrows, and a head of silver hair casually tied into a Taoist bun. He was wearing a gray Taoist robe that looked dirty and shabby.

This old Taoist has been dominating the martial arts world for nearly a hundred years. He entered the Taoist realm through martial arts, and opened up a new realm of martial arts. He is known as the founder of Shaolin, Bodhidharma. He is the ceiling of combat power that cannot be avoided when talking about gold-based martial arts. He is the founder of the Wudang sect, the sloppy Taoist Zhang Sanfeng.

"Qingshu?"

Although Zhang Sanfeng was in seclusion, his hundred years of cultivation was unmatched in the world. He could judge a person's martial arts school and the depth of his skills just from the sound of his footsteps.

Just now, when he was daydreaming, he heard someone approaching outside. He did not hide his whereabouts intentionally, but his breathing and footsteps went from solid to virtual, returning to nature, which was in line with the Taoist principles and seemed to be one with the heaven and earth.

Such unfathomable internal strength has reached the highest level. Not to mention the Wudang Sect, even looking at the whole world, there is no one else who can match it except Zhang Sanfeng himself.

When he went out, he saw that it was his disciple Song Qingshu. Zhang Sanfeng was slightly startled and asked.

"Disciple Song Qingshu, I pay my respects to Grand Master."

Song Qingshu first performed the great ceremony and paid his respects to Grand Master Zhang Sanfeng in his current capacity.

Then he straightened his clothes, bowed and said, "I am Zhao Zhijing, and I am honored to meet Master Zhang of Wudang Sect."

A strange light flashed in Zhang Sanfeng's eyes, and he looked at it carefully. The world is so big that there are many wonders. The legend of the immortal Zhao on Mount Huashan turning into a rainbow and ascending to heaven is still mentioned by people. So it is not impossible that his little disciple is the reincarnation of the immortal Zhao.

However, with Zhang Sanfeng's cultivation and concentration, he was still a little dazed when someone suddenly mentioned something that happened a hundred years ago in front of him.

When the immortal Zhao ascended to heaven, Zhang Junbao was not yet born. Now, in just a hundred years, the great heroes Guo Jing, Yang Guo, the Divine Condor Hero, and his mentor Master Jueyuan have long passed away.

There was also the bright and elegant girl in light yellow clothes, who also quietly left during the long period when Zhang Junbao transformed into Zhang Sanfeng.

"I am Zhang Sanfeng, and I would like to meet the Immortal Zhao from Mount Hua."

The level of cultivation displayed by Song Qingshu could not be faked; it was indeed the orthodox internal skills of the Xuanmen sect.

Moreover, he happened to mention the Zuowang Temple on the Jade Maiden Peak of Mount Huashan a hundred years ago, which was taught by Master Zhao Zhijing of the Quanzhen Sect, and this was definitely not nonsense.

"Master Zhang, I am now both Song Qingshu and Zhao Zhijing, but I came here tonight to ask Master Zhang for advice as Zhao Zhijing. Please forgive me."

Zhang Sanfeng smiled and said, "You don't have to be polite, Immortal Zhao, but you can speak freely."

"I am Liu Qingxing, a humble disciple of the Taoist priest. I founded the Huashan sect in the past. Fortunately, it has survived to this day thanks to God's blessing. Unfortunately, the sect's rules have been relaxed due to the unfilial younger disciples, and the good and the bad are mixed together."

"Now that I am a disciple of the Wudang Sect, I should not change my sect. However, on my way to the Western Regions, I met my disciple Guan Tianyou in Xianyang City and received this Huashan Patriarch Order."

Song Qingshu did not hide anything, but simply omitted the mention of the time travel and the three lifetimes he had lived. After nearly a cup of tea, he explained the cause and effect one by one.

"There are countless good fortunes in the world, but this is the first time I have seen such a wonderful encounter as Immortal Zhao's."

Zhang Sanfeng listened attentively. He had practiced Taoism for a hundred years and had already reached the state of not being bothered by anything. If he still had any attachment, it was to the disciples of the sect and the illusory road to becoming an immortal. Song Qingshu had read about it in later generations. The History of Ming Dynasty recorded that he lived for more than 200 years, spanning the Song, Yuan and Ming dynasties. Even during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Zhu Di summoned Zhang Sanfeng.

As for other unofficial historical documents, they even say that Zhang Sanfeng was resurrected after his death, and no one can be sure where he eventually went.

In other words, Zhang Sanfeng, who is now 110 years old, has only completed half of his legendary life.

However, as the saying goes, one does not talk about longevity, Song Qingshu did not make these things clear.

"As for the sectarianism, where did the Wudang Sect come from a hundred years ago? Since Immortal Zhao wants to return to the Huashan Sect, I will do whatever I want."

As a Taoist sect, Wudang Sect has made innovations based on the teachings of Quanzhen Sect, which is exactly the same as the situation of Huashan Sect. It can be said that the two are of the same origin.

Furthermore, Zhang Sanfeng heard "Zhao Zhijing" mention Guan Tianyou, the ancestor of the Guan family. When he met the Condor Hero Yang Guo on Mount Huashan that year, the ancestor of the Guan family, who was Yang Guo's junior brother, was also present, so they had met once.

"Besides that, I have to apologize. I heard that my disciple Yang Guo once showed off his skills to Master Zhang by teaching him three moves of Tai Chi boxing."

Song Qingshu said with embarrassment: "In fact, this Tai Chi boxing and even Tai Chi swordsmanship were all learned from later generations. The whole thing is simply the opposite of Tian Gang. I am ashamed."

Zhang Sanfeng laughed and said, "Master Zhao is sincere and has solved a mystery that has puzzled me for many years. What crime has he committed?"

Although Zhao Zhijing left behind Tai Chi boxing and Tai Chi swordsmanship, none of his disciples, except Yang Guo, practiced them in depth.

After Yang Guo mastered martial arts at the age of 36, he and Xiaolongnu lived in seclusion at the foot of Mount Zhongnan, so few people in the world have seen this magical skill.

Over the next hundred years, because the Huashan Sect had a profound heritage, in addition to the Quanzhen Sect's martial arts, it also had a wide variety of sword techniques, knife techniques, short weapons, hidden weapons and even eighteen kinds of weapons. The Tai Chi sword, which was easy to practice but difficult to master, was gradually lost, and no one uses it today.

On the contrary, Zhang Sanfeng, who was taught by Yang Guo, the hero of the Condor Heroes, has been studying it for decades. In recent years, he has realized the martial arts principle of using softness to overcome hardness. Based on these three moves, he created a complete set of Tai Chi boxing and Tai Chi swordsmanship.

"If Immortal Zhao doesn't mind, how about you practice Tai Chi with me again?"

Song Qingshu agreed to everything and they talked from late at night until this moment, when the dawn had already begun to appear in the sky. The two of them assumed starting stances at the same time, then countered each other's moves and performed the 18-style Tai Chi from beginning to end.

Act purely on intention, not force, unite body and spirit, and strike last.

Although Song Qingshu's Tai Chi was improved upon by top masters such as Zhou Botong and Yang Guo, the time was still short. Even if he accumulated knowledge at ten times the speed, it would only take him 20 to 30 years.

Therefore, compared to Zhang Sanfeng, who actually created this martial art and spent decades of hard work, he still lacks some profound meanings that can only be understood but not expressed in words.

It is through this deduction that the spirit of boxing can be taken to a higher level, from perfection to the realm of doing whatever one wants.

When Zhang Sanfeng saw Song Qingshu performing Tai Chi, he no longer had any doubts in his mind and confirmed that the person in front of him was the reincarnation of Zhao Xianren from Mount Hua.

The two men stopped fighting after they had reached their limit. Although they did not compete in internal strength, Song Qingshu believed that Zhang Sanfeng's cultivation was definitely higher than that of Guo Jing, who was in his prime during the three sword fights, and was much higher.

"The hundred-year-old boy's skill is indeed the best in the world." (End of this chapter)
