Poor Taoist Qiu Chuji

Chapter 17 Personalized Martial Arts
Ancient tomb, quiet room, dim candlelight.

"You came!"

"I am coming!"

"You shouldn't have come!"

"But I'm still here!"

The questions and answers are concise and powerful. If you don’t know the inside story and the entanglements between the characters, you might think that two masters are about to fight.

Although sometimes, this is indeed the subsequent development.

"I must be very ugly now." Lin Chaoying's words softened. After a person has gone through the gates of hell, his thoughts will always change.

Both she and Wang Chongyang were too proud and conceited. Even if there were no national hatred or family feuds, it would have been difficult for them to achieve a happy ending.

They are too accustomed to turning the interactions between men and women into a game of chess between masters in the world.

"No, you will always be the same as when we first met, graceful and unparalleled in the world." Wang Chongyang answered subconsciously, and then started coughing violently.

Standing in a corner of the quiet room, Qiu Chuji lowered his head, took two steps back, and hid behind Lin Xiaolan.

"Master likes Daoist Wang, and Daoist Wang also likes Master, why don't you just get together?"

"Master Wang, you are a Taoist priest, not a monk." Lin Xiaolan spoke frankly.

Lin Chaoying glanced at her apprentice, and then explained on behalf of Wang Chongyang: "Grandmaster Wang wanted to unite the three religions and found the Quanzhen Sect. He devoted himself to cultivation, and even ten oxen could not pull him back. What do you know, little girl?"

This is a question to Wang Chongyang.

In the past, Wang Chongyang would have made some rebuttals, but today he didn't want to make Lin Chaoying angry, so he could only endure it.

"Why don't you practice the Golden Gate Locking Jade Technique that I taught you?"

“If we practice, we can minimize the backlash from the Twelve Young Master.” Wang Chongyang abruptly changed the subject.

"I won't learn your Kung Fu! I do have a set of Kung Fu, do you want to learn it?" Lin Chaoying said stubbornly.

It's not that she didn't want to learn the Golden Gate Locking Jade Art. Instead, she completely integrated the martial arts taught by Wang Chongyang with what she had learned herself and created a 'Jade Girl Heart Sutra'. As long as she mastered the Jade Girl Heart Sutra, her problems would be slowly solved and she would be able to land smoothly.

However, the Jade Girl Heart Sutra requires two people to be completely open with each other and have a mutual understanding in order to practice it.

When she was creating the Jade Girl Heart Sutra, including the Ancient Tomb School's swordsmanship, all she was thinking about was Wang Chongyang, so the person she wanted to practice with was naturally none other than Wang Chongyang.

And with Wang Chongyang's profound skills, once he and Lin Chaoying practiced the Jade Girl Heart Sutra together, he would be able to help her resolve the stubborn illness in her body and solve the hidden dangers in her internal skills.

Now facing Wang Chongyang's questioning, she felt aggrieved in her heart, but her words became even colder, and she was unwilling to tell the truth completely.

When Wang Chongyang heard this, he just thought that Lin Chaoying was still in a bad mood.

"Hey...you are still so strong!"

"Forget it! I won't force you. I will help you regulate your internal energy in the next few days."

At this time, Qiu Chuji was afraid that his master would continue to talk and directly anger Lin Chaoying to death on the spot, so he could only walk out and say: "Master! Senior Lin's biggest problem is that her internal energy is about to leak out. She needs to replenish the missing energy as soon as possible."

"I observed the mountain during the day and sensed an unusual aura there. Perhaps there are spiritual creatures hiding there. I am just worried that there may be ferocious beasts guarding the spirits, so I dare not rush in alone."

Wang Chongyang turned around immediately and said, "In that case, take me to find some good medicine and boil some soup."

After saying this, he walked out of the room, appearing to be in a hurry.

Qiu Chuji clasped his hands and bowed to Lin Chaoying: "Senior Lin, my master is worried and may have acted inappropriately. Please forgive me!"

Lin Chaoying felt much better after hearing this and nodded to Qiu Chuji: "You are a good child. When I recover a little, I will teach you some martial arts of the Ancient Tomb School. This is also a small way to repay you for saving my life."

Qiu Chuji was delighted when he heard this. The Ancient Tomb Sect's martial arts and Quanzhen Sect's martial arts were the most advanced combination of skills in the world.

Even without fighting with both hands, simply combining the Quanzhen sword technique with the Ancient Tomb sword technique can refine a stronger sword technique.

After paying his respects again, Qiu Chuji followed his master Wang Chongyang's steps and walked out of the ancient tomb.

The master and the disciple walked on the treetops, running all the way using light skills.

"What a beautiful lightness skill." While running, Wang Chongyang followed behind Qiu Chuji. When Qiu Chuji led the way, he also realized that his lightness skill was not the Golden Goose Skill, but another lightness skill derived from the Golden Goose Skill.

"Sorry for the poor performance!" Qiu Chuji was happy in his heart and said politely.

“It’s indeed lacking a bit. Your lightness skill is like willow leaves swaying in the wind, but if you encounter martial arts like the Windless Palm, you will suffer a great loss.” Wang Chongyang said.

The Windless Palm is a not-so-uncommon martial arts technique. Guo Jing had used this technique when he was fighting the blind Mei Chaofeng at Guiyun Villa, making Mei Chaofeng look very embarrassed.

This skill was passed down to Guo Jing by the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan.

The Seven Freaks of Jiangnan, who did not have any profound inheritance, were able to teach Guo Jing their skills. Even if their skills were not common in the martial arts world, they were not extremely rare.

In short, in high-end games, there is basically no one who doesn’t know this trick.

"Then what advice do you have, Master?" Qiu Chuji stopped and asked while standing on the treetop.

Wang Chongyang said: "The wind is the basis, the mind is the root. It is not the wind that moves, nor the flag that moves, but the heart of the benevolent that moves."

Wang Chongyang was using the words of the Sixth Patriarch of Zen Buddhism, Master Huineng, to enlighten Qiu Chuji: if one's body moves with the wind, one will naturally rest when the wind stops. However, if one observes the opponent's movements and understands his intentions, and then uses the wind as a support and takes advantage of the situation, one can seize the initiative everywhere.

Qiu Chuji summed up in his mind that the lightness skill he had learned before could be compared to the "paper painting" among the six navy styles, and Wang Chongyang was pointing him towards the path of "seeing and hearing color".

Although the foundations are different and cannot be copied completely, the direction is this.

"Thank you for your guidance, Master!" Qiu Chuji had a direction in his mind and his steps became more steady.

The ringing of the bell twice had already greatly improved his already extraordinary talent. For him, learning martial arts on his own was not difficult at all.

"Why do you say that? I'm your master. I went down the mountain to do things without teaching you any martial arts. I owe you." Wang Chongyang sighed.

Then he asked Qiu Chuji: "What martial arts have you learned?"

Qiu Chuji replied, "In addition to the inner strength and mental skills I acquired through my own chance, there are the Golden Gate Locking Jade Skill, Pure Yang Mysterious Skill, Quanzhen Dao Song taught by my senior brother, as well as the Zhougong Sword Skill and Golden Goose Skill taught by Taoist Master Jingshu."

Wang Chongyang stroked his beard and nodded: "Your internal strength is sufficient, but you lack some external martial arts to protect the way. After this matter, I will make up for your training in boxing, hidden weapons, and swords."

"If you have any preference, you can tell me."

Wang Chongyang was a martial arts master of his generation. Although he did not necessarily know every martial art, he had already reached the state of mastering all martial arts. As long as the martial arts were not too advanced, he could deduce them on his own.

Just like Zhang Sanfeng himself did not use iron hooks or iron pens as weapons, but he was able to create a "Heavenly Dragon Slaying Kung Fu" for Zhang Cuishan.

This is called teaching students in accordance with their aptitude, and it is an exclusive teaching skill of master-level mentors.

"I want to learn how to use the mace!" Qiu Chuji expressed an idea that had been in his mind for some time.

Ordinary thin-bladed swords can only be used in the martial arts world. If you want to move among thousands of troops, heavy weapons are essential.

The mace is the heavy weapon that Qiu Chuji chose for himself. It is convenient to carry and some of its moves can be used interchangeably with sword techniques.

It can be used on ordinary days and carried on the back as a weight. Once trapped in an army formation, the mace can be used to penetrate armor and break bones, kill people and seize flags.

Wang Chongyang nodded and said, "Okay! I once had a competition with General Niu Gao under Marshal Yue. I saw him use double maces. I think it can be deduced into a mace technique. I will teach it to you in three months at the latest!"

Qiu Chuji was secretly pleased when he heard this.

Is this the benefit of saving my master’s wife?
Enjoy the private customization of the master, love it! Love it!
