Demon Lord Tang Dynasty

Chapter 54 Xiping Stone Classics, Mountains, Rivers, and Lakes

Upon hearing Gao Yi's question, Lu Lingfeng's eyes lit up.

"That's right, the Jizhou boxing style used that day was one of those moves."

After saying that, Lu Lingfeng sighed again.

"It's a pity that Ling Feng's talent is too poor; so far, he has only mastered one move, and hasn't even scratched the surface of the other fist techniques?"

"Oh? This Ding Jiuzhou Fist Technique is so difficult to learn?" Gao Yi raised an eyebrow.

Lu Lingfeng nodded, then shook his head:

"Not at all. It's easy to learn how to conquer the Nine Provinces, but difficult to master."

"But my uncle told me not to be greedy and not to learn other styles of boxing before I had mastered the Jizhou boxing style."

Gao Yi nodded.

He finally understood why the old man surnamed Lu could so easily abandon Lu Lingfeng.

The opponent had truly only learned one move of the fist technique; he had never even come into contact with anything else.

Naturally, there is no need to worry about the risk of leaking family heritage.

Gao Yi wasn't disappointed; he chuckled and patted Lu Lingfeng on the shoulder.

"Rather than being a jack of all trades and master of none, it is better to specialize in one area first, so as to master the essence of the Nine Provinces Boxing Techniques. If Ling Feng can achieve this, he will be able to dominate the world."

Upon hearing this, Lu Lingfeng's eyes instantly shone brightly.

"Higher education..."

"Ling Feng is not my subordinate. If you don't mind, just call him Brother Gao."

Gao Yi interrupted the other person's form of address and chuckled.

Lu Lingfeng, who only knows one fist technique, doesn't seem to be of much use.

But that's not actually the case.

Putting everything else aside, his status as a direct descendant of the Lu family of Fanyang alone already provides him with many opportunities to manipulate things.

Moreover, although Lu Lingfeng had not learned the core martial arts, he must have studied the family traditions of the Lu family of Fanyang, and he must know some of the secrets of the Lu family.

Overall, Lu Lingfeng's value is definitely not low.

"Brother Gao."

Upon hearing this, Lu Lingfeng also let out a slightly excited shout.

The old man's original intention in leaving Lu Lingfeng behind was actually to use this opportunity to hone the skills of this younger generation.

In fact, Lu Lingfeng was not really stupid.

However, he was too rigid and inflexible, which, in later terms, would be described as a bookworm.

If he can undergo some trials and tribulations, change his temperament, and with the resources of Fanyang Lu, his future will surely be promising.

Of course, the contact with Gao Yi involved a very important part of the Lu family's plan.

Leaving Lu Lingfeng behind was indeed intended to monitor him, but it could also serve as a bridge for communication.

But the old man probably didn't expect that in just a few words, his younger relative would be so open and honest with Gao Yi.

"Ling Feng, there's no need for wild thoughts. The Lu family has a long and distinguished tradition, and their Ding Jiu Zhou boxing style is unfathomable. One day, it will surely shine with the true brilliance of this style."

Lu Lingfeng nodded heavily upon hearing this.

"The achievements of Emperor Yu were the first among all kings. It is said that in ancient times, Emperor Yu cast nine tripods to suppress the nine provinces and inscribed all his knowledge on the tripods. Ling Feng dares not compare with Emperor Yu, but he will certainly not bury this boxing style."

"Oh?" Gao Yi's eyes lit up with interest.

"Could it be that this 'Stabilizing the Nine Provinces' boxing style actually originated from Emperor Yu?"

To be honest, even Gao Yi was somewhat taken aback at this moment.

However, Lu Lingfeng quickly shook his head.

"The Nine Tripods of Emperor Yu have long been lost to the ages, and later generations can no longer see their true appearance."

"Legend has it that Emperor Yu's Nine Tripods and Nine Forms integrated the terrain of mountains and lakes, the earth's veins, and the ultimate principles of heaven and earth into one, unparalleled and without rules."

"It's a pity that the technique has been lost for a long time. No one even knows whether Emperor Yu used fists, palms, or swords."

A look of emotion appeared on Lu Lingfeng's face.

Gao Yi did not interrupt, and was happy to listen to the other party tell these secrets.

In fact, it turned out exactly as Gao Yi had predicted.

Although usually quiet, Lu Lingfeng, now that he was eager to talk about sex and share his thoughts, showed no sign of stopping.

"The Ding Jiuzhou boxing style mastered by my Lu family did not actually originate from Emperor Yu."

"At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, great Confucian scholars from all over the country gathered in Luoyang and worked together to rectify the Confucian classics. It took nearly ten years to complete the project, which became the Xiping Stone Classics that shook the world."

Unfortunately, the Xiping Classic was also destroyed in the chaos of war during the late Han and Wei-Jin periods.

"However, my Lu family was fortunate enough to find six ancient steles inscribed with the name of the Minister."

"Is the Dingjiuzhou Fist style derived from the six stone tablets?" Gao Yi asked.

The Xiping Stone Classics—tsk tsk, Gao Yi couldn't help but marvel once again at the profound heritage of these aristocratic families.

As for getting lucky just once, he didn't really believe it.

He even suspected that the Lu family had taken advantage of the war to steal the stone tablet.

As for why there are only six sides, perhaps it's because the spoils were divided up.

"good."

"The boxing style originated from the meaning and annotations of the Yu Gong chapter on the stone tablet, and was later developed and expanded by the ancestors of the family."

"However, later generations are still later generations, and they cannot do what Emperor Yu did, which incorporated all the profound mysteries into the Nine Forms."

"Our ancestors broke down the concepts into thirty-six styles, including fist, palm, sword, and spear techniques."

"To guide the nine mountains, to lead the nine rivers, to drain the nine marshes, and finally to establish the nine provinces."

Lu Lingfeng's eyes shone brightly, and his tone was filled with both pride and anticipation for the future.

"There are actually thirty-six moves." Gao Yi's voice carried a hint of emotion.

Although it was an unintentional remark, Lu Lingfeng visibly paused upon hearing it, and all the pride and anticipation on his face vanished, replaced by shame.

Of the thirty-six styles of fists, palms, swords, and spears, he had only mastered one.

No wonder he felt so ashamed.

Gao Yi smiled slightly and instantly understood the inside story.

These thirty-six moves originated from the achievements of Emperor Yu and were derived from mountains, rivers, and lakes.

The mountains stretch endlessly, the rivers flow swiftly, and the lakes, though calm and unadorned, are ancient, deep, and secluded, with ripples that never cease.

Even though Gao Yi had never seen his martial arts moves, he knew that these three elements must contain a variety of variations.

Lu Lingfeng's straightforward and impulsive nature made it extremely difficult for him to learn similar martial arts techniques.

Only a direct and forceful style of boxing, which relies on overwhelming force, is most suitable.

However, the boxing style is simple and straightforward.

However, as the strongest and core of all the mountains, rivers, lakes, and states, Ding Jiuzhou has the highest artistic conception.

Just as Lu Lingfeng said, it is easy to learn but difficult to master.

If we only consider the moves, Ding Jiuzhou is undoubtedly the simplest, but to truly learn and master it, this style of boxing is actually the most difficult.

This also shows that the Lu family actually attaches great importance to Lu Lingfeng.

Deliberately suppressing his subsequent moves is not a punishment, but rather an expression of high hopes for him.

"The reason why a unique skill is called a unique skill is because its cultivation process is fraught with difficulties. Ling Feng doesn't need to take it to heart."

Gao Yi chuckled and said:

"As your elder brother, I also know a few basic skills. If Ling Feng encounters any difficulties, you can come to me for a chat. We won't discuss cultivation techniques, but only concepts and ideas."

"Or you could try sparring with me, brother. Martial arts, no matter where they come from, must always be applied to actual combat, right?"

Lu Lingfeng's eyes lit up as he looked at Gao Yi excitedly: "Thank you so much, Brother Gao."
