The Four Artifacts: Qinglong Sword

"That night after I finished practicing, I went to the back mountain to collect saltpeter for making firearms tomorrow. When I passed by Tingyun Xiaozhu, I suddenly heard someone recite a poem, 'A jug of wine among the flowers, drinking alone without a blind date. Raise a glass to invite the moon, There are three people facing each other...' I looked up and saw that the master was sitting alone by the window drinking."

"Drinking?!" Li Wanji said in surprise: "In my impression, the master doesn't drink at all, and he often warns us that drinking is wrong, and advises us not to drink or to drink less. How could he be so refined this time? Yue Up for a drink alone?"

"At that time, I thought so too, so I went to Xiaozhu and wanted to ask the master what happened. The master was very happy to see me coming, and asked me to sit down. I saw two jars of wine and four small dishes in front of the master. Three cups..."

"Three cups?"

"Yes, I also asked the master why he put three cups when drinking alone? The master replied that every year today, he would drink with two people, one is his master and the other is his younger brother."

Li Wanji asked: "So the master is missing the master and uncle?"

Liang Yehan nodded, and continued: "Master said, today is the death day of the master. When the master was alive, he and his uncle loved him the most. He not only taught them kung fu, but also taught them many things about life and work. Reasonable, so in the eyes of the master, the three are called masters and apprentices, but they are like father and son. Among the two, the master prefers the uncle because of his extremely high talent in martial arts, and he is a rare talent in a century. The master also said However, as long as time is given, my uncle will surely flourish Shaolin martial arts and become a master of the generation. Alas, it's a pity..."

"It's a pity that he was expelled from the division? What is the reason?"

"The master said that it was because of his delusions and deep obsession."

Li Wanji shook his head and said, "What do you mean? What did he do?"

"I also asked the master at the time, but he didn't want to tell the old man. He just drank one glass after another. Soon he drank all the wine, and he wanted to open another one. When I saw this, I hurriedly stopped him, but he said it's okay. , Tonight, the teacher wants to get drunk. I was afraid that he would drink too much, so I snatched the wine, poured it into my own cup, and drank it all in one gulp. The master smiled and said, "That's great, Ye Han. Drink three hundred cups with me!' I said with a smile, 'if the master is interested, the apprentice will accompany me.'"

Li Wanji wondered: "I didn't even know you still drink alcohol?"

Liang Yehan said with a sneer: "I didn't know that I could drink so much wine. At first, I just wanted to drink more for myself so that the master could drink less. Who would have thought that after we finished drinking this jar of wine, the master would come from nowhere. He took out another three jars of wine, and wanted to finish them with a yell. In desperation, we each drank another jar. I was fine at the time, but the master was already drunk. If I persuaded him not to drink, he would not Ken agreed, so he explained that the Japanese still wanted to practice martial arts, and hoped that the master would rest. After hearing this, the master sneered, "You don't need to practice your kung fu."

Li Wanji was astonished and said: "Why did the master say such a thing?"

"I was also very surprised at the time. Brother, you also know that the master has always asked us to practice martial arts diligently and not to slack off in the slightest. How could we say such a thing now. Seeing my surprised face, the master continued to laugh, 'you guys The Demon-Suppressing Sword I practiced, Arhat Palm, can barely be regarded as a superior martial art. If you practice it to the peak state, you can cross the rivers and lakes and become famous, but if you talk about forming a gang and forming a faction, it is absolutely impossible to look down on the world.'”

Li Wanji thought to himself: "Both Fumo Sword and Arhat Palm are kung fu taught by the master, and now he says that these kung fu are not good. Could it be that the old man saved a hand? There are other profound and unpredictable kung fu that he doesn't want to pass on to us?"

Liang Yehan didn't know what Li Wanji was thinking, and continued: "I thought the master was drinking too much and talking nonsense, but who would have thought that he would continue to ask me, 'Do you know what the most powerful martial art in the world is?'"

Li Wanji's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly asked, "What is it?"

"The master asked me to guess first. I said it was Shaolin's Prajna Kung Fu? The master shook his head. The Yi Jin Jing? The master said, 'The Yi Jin Jing is just a method for internal strength cultivation. There are no specific moves to follow. It can only be counted as a half set of kung fu.' I guessed a lot, such as Wudang's innate skill, Emei's Wanxiang Guiyixin method, etc. After listening to it, the master just shook his head. Finally, I mentioned the dragon chant magic skill in the palace..."

"What does the master say now!?"

"The master nodded and said, 'Dragon Yin Divine Art has both inner strength and mental skills as well as palm and sword skills. It can be called the top martial art in the world. It's a pity that this skill is very difficult to learn and practice. It is really difficult for ordinary people without 20 years of experience. Xiaocheng, so although the power is huge, there are too few people who have achieved it, so it is still not the best in martial arts.'”

"Oh?! According to the master, what kind of martial arts is the best in the world?"

Liang Yehan said: "The master said that only kung fu that is powerful and easy to practice is the treasure of martial arts."

Li Wanji frowned and said: "This martial art must not only include skills and moves, but also contain inner strength and mentality. It must also be easy to understand and not difficult to practice. Where in the world is there such a martial art?"

"At that time, I also asked the master. After hearing this, the master laughed and said, 'Not only do you have such kung fu, but you don't know it.' I continued to ask, 'Since we have such kung fu, why do we still have it? Do you want to waste time learning those martial arts that are difficult to master?''Good question!' said the master, 'these martial arts are indeed amazingly powerful and easy to master, but most of them are kung fu that harm others and yourself.'"

Li Wanji was puzzled and said: "Martial arts are mainly for strengthening the body and preventing thieves and enemies, so why do you say it hurts others and yourself?"

Liang Yehan said: "Ordinary kung fu is like this, but compared with these magic skills, it is naturally not the same."

"Magic skills? These martial arts treasures that the master said are actually magic skills?"

Liang Yehan nodded and continued: "The master said that once this kind of kung fu is practiced, it will devour people's mind, make the practitioner obsessed with self-forgetfulness, unable to extricate himself, and eventually become obsessed and fall into a place of no return."

Li Wanji snapped, "Is it so serious? Master is exaggerating a bit, isn't it?"

"I was half-believing at the time, but seeing the seriousness of the master's face and his convincing words, he didn't seem to be raving after drinking, so I asked, 'Master, what are the names of these magic arts you mentioned?'"

This question also touched Li Wanji's heart, and he couldn't help but widen his eyes and listen carefully.

"The master didn't tell me the specific name, but just said, 'Your uncle was expelled from the sect by the master because he trespassed on the forbidden area, learned these magic skills secretly, and caused a catastrophe.'"

"and then?"

"Then you also saw that Master Uncle's current temperament and disposition, just as the master said, is almost insane, and it must be caused by practicing magic."

Li Wanji nodded slowly, and thought to himself: "His martial arts are really powerful, if I can be like him, what's the point of going crazy?"
