Martial Arts: After ten years of sword-drawing, the Sword God must bow his head when he sees me

Chapter 89: Tai Chi Sword Technique

The back mountain of Tianjun Peak.

Outside the villa where Shen Pingan and others lived before.

Different from the darkness and loneliness before.

With lanterns lit by bright candles hanging, the courtyard also became brightly lit.

Zhang Sanfeng and Shen Pingan sat opposite each other.

Song Yuanqiao, the head of Wudang Sect, was waiting on the side pouring tea for the two of them.

Mo Shenggu and Zhang Songxi on the side were still furious.

"We used to respect Master Mu so much, but we never thought he would betray us and collude with outsiders to murder our master."

"Master was originally just worried that the many issues at Wudang would hinder his progress in cultivation, but he never imagined that this would actually arouse his ruthless ambitions. Fortunately, due to a strange combination of circumstances, Master didn't hand over the position of Acting Sect Leader to him."

Listening to the two men's words, Song Yuanqiao turned around and scolded, "Alright, the man is already dead, why are you still holding on to him?"

After all, he was the eldest brother. When Song Yuanqiao spoke, Mo Shenggu and Zhang Songxi immediately quieted down.

Song Yuanqiao sighed and said, "It's a pity that the two people who conspired with Mu Daoren committed suicide by taking poison. I don't know who is behind them."

After putting down the teacup in his hand, Zhang Sanfeng slowly said, "Although a person is dead, there are still traces left. What do you think, my friend?"

Knowing what Zhang Sanfeng meant, Shen Pingan smiled softly and said, "Indeed, the target is too obvious, and I can guess it to some extent."

Song Yuanqiao couldn't help but ask, "Master, have you and Master Shen discovered anything else?"

Zhang Sanfeng looked up and glanced at Song Yuanqiao and the other two disciples beside him.

Seeing that the three of them were all confused, Zhang Sanfeng couldn't help but sigh.

"Sometimes, we really have to admit that the saying 'Comparing people will make you die, and comparing goods will make you throw them away' is true."

"Everything that happened today was within my expectations, but my disciples are still confused. With a genius like you, I can't help but envy the Shen family!"

Hearing this, Shen Pingan chuckled: "Junior is just a scheming person, I don't deserve such praise from Master Zhang."

Zhang Sanfeng shook his head, thinking that Shen Pingan was just being humble.

Then, Zhang Sanfeng looked at Song Yuanqiao and the others and said, "Hundreds of years ago, all countries had a rule that any warrior at the Heavenly Man Realm in any country was not allowed to use force in other countries."

"They had Wudang announce that the Great Yuan's Demon Sect member Meng Chixing and the Imperial Master, the Eighth Master Ba, had attacked Wudang at night. This was undoubtedly a public announcement to the world that the people of the Great Yuan had violated this rule."

"The other party asked me to do this, obviously hoping to use me to provoke confrontation between the warriors of the Yuan Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, or even to provoke a war between the two countries."

Song Yuanqiao was puzzled and said, "Although there is an agreement that those in the Heavenly Realm cannot go to other countries to fight, it is ultimately just a fight between warriors. It shouldn't trigger a war between the two countries, right?"

Zhang Sanfeng shook his head and said, "If it only involves the Eighth Master Ba and Meng Chixing, it won't be that serious. At most, the Wudang Sect and the Taoist priest will be held accountable by the Ming Dynasty court."

"The key lies in the other party's second condition."

"Si Hanfei, as a master of the Yuan Dynasty's royal family, has a special status. He is also the Tianren realm master who is currently guarding the border of the Yuan Dynasty to prevent other Tianren realm masters from entering the Yuan Dynasty."

"If the old Taoist really attacks Si Hanfei, the Yuan Dynasty court will definitely not ignore it afterwards."

"If something goes wrong, it's not impossible for the century-long peace between the Yuan Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty to collapse in one fell swoop."

After saying this, Zhang Sanfeng looked at Shen Pingan and said, "Young friend, do you think my speculation is correct?"

Shen Ping'an's voice was like a spring breeze, and he said, "Master Zhang is very thoughtful. I admire him."

However, facing Shen Ping'an's flattery, Zhang Sanfeng shook his head: "If he is really smart, how could I not guess the real culprit behind all this? I wonder if you have any ideas?"

Shen Pingan pondered for a moment and then slowly spoke: "Although there are five countries in the world today, in terms of overall national strength, the Great Qin Kingdom is the strongest, followed by the Great Ming Kingdom and the Great Sui Kingdom, and the Great Yuan Kingdom and the Great Song Kingdom are second."

"This incident involves the Ming Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty. Since I am being treated as a pawn, I am naturally not a chess player."

"Following Yang Guang's death last year, the Sui Dynasty has been plagued by the rise of many powerful figures and the fierce competition among powerful families. They are already struggling to take care of themselves, let alone planning for other countries."

"The only options left for speculation are the Great Qin and the Great Song."

Song Yuanqiao said thoughtfully, "The Great Song Kingdom is in the middle, and its imperial court has become even weaker over the years. Every year, it needs to provide a large amount of annual tribute to the other four kingdoms in exchange for stability. It can be said that its national strength is the lowest among the five kingdoms."

"If it weren't for the fact that we happened to be in the middle of the world, once we took action, we would have been worried that other countries would have taken advantage of us. I'm afraid other countries would have taken action against the Song Dynasty long ago."

"Given the current situation of the Song Dynasty, it should not have the courage to plot against other countries."

"And within the Great Qin State, the Qin State had just conquered the six kingdoms, and within the country, there were still remnants of various schools of thought and the remnants of the six kingdoms resisting, creating a turbulent undercurrent."

"But it's said that Emperor Qin Ying Zheng was extremely ambitious and had many experts under his command. Could it be that the Qin State was responsible?"

Shen Ping'an did not answer Song Yuanqiao's question.

Just because of this, Shen Pingan couldn't be sure.

It is true that the Song Dynasty was slightly weak, but that does not mean that it was so weak that it could be bullied at will.

After all, the Song Dynasty was located in the middle of the other four countries, and in terms of commercial prosperity, the other four countries could hardly compare with it.

The commercial taxes collected each year alone are enough to make the other four countries jealous.

Who can guarantee that they won’t have the idea of ​​muddying the waters and taking advantage of the situation to fish?

As for the Great Qin State, it was even more ambitious.

It's hard to guarantee that they don't have the intention of truly unifying the world. In response, Shen Pingan shook his head and said, "No matter what force is behind the other party, if they want to fish in troubled waters, they can only hide their identity."

"Moreover, none of the people sent out by the other side are masters of the Heavenly Man Realm. This also shows that they are still abiding by the rules of the Five Nations."

"From now on, Master Zhang just needs to be careful, and he should be fine in the short term."

Hearing this, Zhang Sanfeng nodded and said, "My friend, you are right."

When you are in the underworld, you will inevitably be involved in some conspiracies and calculations.

Even the Wudang Sect is not immune to this.

After all, although Zhang Sanfeng is strong, he is not so strong that he is invincible and no one in the world dares to attack Wudang.

Then, Zhang Sanfeng changed the subject and said, "This time, if it weren't for my friend's help, not to mention the Wudang Sect, even I, the Taoist priest, would have been dragged into the game of other countries."

Shen Pingan said in a gentle tone: "Helping others is like helping yourself. Although the other party came for Wudang this time, I was also inadvertently involved. I will not stand idly by."

Zhang Sanfeng smiled and said, "It seems that I will have to go to the Shen family's head someday to thank him. If Qingfeng had not been sent to Wudang, there would not have been such a coincidence that I could let you take this trip and save Wudang from danger."

Shen Pingan said with a smile: "If Master Zhang is willing to come to the Shen family as a guest, the Shen family will naturally welcome him."

After chatting for a few words, Zhang Sanfeng looked at Shen Pingan opposite him, and then looked at Yan Shisan beside him.

After pondering for a few breaths, Zhang Sanfeng seemed to have made up his mind and stood up immediately.

After walking a few steps to the side, Zhang Sanfeng suddenly raised his hand.

The next moment, the long sword in the scabbard in Zhang Songxi's hand was suddenly pulled out by a mysterious force and fell into Zhang Sanfeng's hands.

After calming his breathing a little, Zhang Sanfeng took a light step and the long sword in his hand also rose slightly.

His body is like an old pine, and his sword is like the gentle wind.

As Zhang Sanfeng used his sword skills one after another, his voice was transmitted to Shen Ping'an's ears in the pavilion through the transmission of true qi.

"Tai Chi is the birth of Wuji, the origin of movement, the mother of Yin and Yang. Yin is inseparable from Yang, and Yang is inseparable from Yin. The interaction of Yin and Yang also reaches the divine sound."

Looking at Zhang Sanfeng who was also slowly uttering the mantra of the secret method while practicing the Tai Chi Sword Technique, Shen Pingan and Yan Shisan knew what Zhang Sanfeng was doing at this time.

It turned out that he wanted to teach the Tai Chi Sword Technique to him and Yan Shisan.

If it were any other martial arts, not to mention Shen Ping'an, even Yan Shisan might look down on it.

But the person who teaches martial arts now is Zhang Sanfeng.

And the martial arts taught was the top-grade "Tai Chi Sword Technique".

Even Yan Shisan did not choose to avoid it after hesitating for a moment, but watched it attentively.

A moment later, a system prompt message suddenly popped up in front of Shen Pingan.

[Ding, detected the top-grade Heavenly Rank martial art "Tai Chi Sword Technique", do you want to learn it?]

Looking at the prompt message in front of him, after thinking for a while, Shen Pingan's heart moved.

"study".

Just as the thought came to his mind, the system's prompt message once again emerged in Shen Ping'an's mind.

[Ding, it is detected that the host's comprehension has reached the "one in a million" level, and the "Tai Chi Sword Technique" is automatically upgraded to the "master" level].

The moment the system prompt fell, a series of messages suddenly emerged in Shen Pingan's mind.

Shen Ping'an's consciousness was once again pulled into the misty mountain top.

As Shen Ping'an's consciousness showed the figure in the sea of ​​clouds raising the sword and moving, Shen Ping'an's own understanding of Tai Chi Swordsmanship continued to deepen.

It was not until Shen Ping'an's mastery of Tai Chi Swordsmanship had reached the level of "entering the hall" that Shen Ping'an's consciousness automatically returned to his body.

However, as his understanding of Tai Chi Swordsmanship reached the level of "entry", Shen Pingan was not in a hurry to open his eyes.

Of course, with Shen Ping's current swordsmanship of the third realm where man and sword are one, he is indeed better than Zhang Sanfeng.

But in terms of martial arts knowledge and attainments, there is a world of difference compared to Zhang Sanfeng.

The Tai Chi Sword Technique was transformed from the Tai Chi Boxing by Zhang Sanfeng.

The sword technique also contains the characteristics of using softness to overcome hardness, seeking movement in stillness, and seeking stillness in movement.

It also has the principle of yin and yang working together.

These characteristics and the true meaning of martial arts they contain are quite unique, even in kendo.

Although Shen Ping'an is now a high-level swordsman, his knowledge of martial arts is actually much inferior to that of second-generation Wudang disciples such as Song Yuanqiao or Zhang Songxi.

This is also the reason why, despite Shen Ping'an's understanding and attainments in swordsmanship, he did not take the initiative to create a martial art.

It's not that I'm unwilling, but I haven't accumulated enough martial arts knowledge.

For Shen Pingan now, it is time to gather the strengths of each family.

This is also the reason why Shen Pingan did not refuse when he found out that Zhang Sanfeng wanted to teach him Tai Chi Sword Technique.
