Under One Person: Lifting the Ball to Soar

The one who was competing with the Heavenly Master for his apprentice quickly said: My apprentice is really awesome, he can always crush everyone in his own rank, why don’t we let them have a peak match tomorrow, the winner will become famous and the loser will know his place.

So the matter was settled.

It was a martial arts performance watched by many big shots. Youngsters from all schools and factions came up to show off their skills. That unlucky opponent with squinty eyes shined in this performance.

But after watching the other person's skills, the Taoist priest's heart, which had been warm, suddenly turned cold.

There is an old saying that makes a lot of sense:

If you squint your eyes, you are a monster!

. .

Chapter 8 Master! Why is it so?

This is not the first time that the plan of finding outsiders to recruit disciples has been implemented. The brothers probably couldn't guess that the old master has been doing this for seven or eight years.

In recent years, when traveling, the Taoist priest often took his troublesome disciple with him, running around the world in the hope of meeting a junior who could deal with his disciple so that he would know that there is always someone better than him.

He had arranged many fights with people from all over the world, even trying to recruit elites from other schools who were more than ten years older than his apprentice. However, his plans had never been successful and his apprentice always won easily.

On the contrary, those opponents who were beaten by his apprentice were all impressed, and even many of them who had fought with him were left with psychological trauma. They all said that they finally saw what it meant that there is always someone better than you. Squint-eyed, you are so awesome that I will never be able to catch up with you in this lifetime.

At that time, the Taoist priest said to others that he was "discipling his disciple", but I think that was just a humble statement of the old man. His real psychological expectation was probably to find someone who could compete with his disciple!

After all, the Heavenly Master knew that his disciple was too good at fighting, and it was unrealistic to find a lesson for him among the younger generation.

The man who had challenged the Heavenly Master to a duel with his disciple was naturally an extraordinary expert. He saw the Heavenly Master sitting there like he was constipated and not saying a word, not even asking his disciple to come on the field. He didn't understand what was going on:

My apprentice is not qualified enough to compare with others!

So they used moral kidnapping directly on the Heavenly Master: Do you look down on our methods or on our character?

The Taoist priest felt very regretful at this time. Why did he start a fight with others for no reason?

I can only let my apprentice go up.

Good fellow! This squinting man went up without saying a word, and didn't use any tricks such as golden light and thunder. He just swung his palm and broke the other person's sect's signature trick, killing him instantly.

The crowd of onlookers were all stunned: There must be some basic rules for a King to bully a Bronze player, how is this instant kill with a basic attack triggered?

There was loud cheering in the arena, but the Heavenly Master was very annoyed!

Afterwards, the master taught his disciple a lesson about this matter. The squinty-eyed boy shamelessly said that he had completely understood what his master meant and that he had gained a lot from this battle.

The Heavenly Master was completely confused. He was thinking, if this traitor knew how hard I tried to learn from others, why would he be so tactless?

With squinting eyes, he explained proudly: You just want to understand the principles and effects of other people's sects' methods, and I have successfully tested them out for you, right, Master!

This stupid look made the Heavenly Master so angry that he cursed on the spot: "Bullshit!"

Although the monk uttered some vulgar words, I think the old Taoist priest still has a good temper.

If it were me, I would slap the guy in the face and curse him for being such an evildoer!

Spit all over his face and yelled at him at the top of his voice:

"The martial arts world is not about fighting and killing! The martial arts world is about human relationships and worldly wisdom!"

After this battle, the old master completely gave up the idea of ​​finding opponents for his disciple outside. After all, the purpose of fighting with others is to dampen the disciple's arrogance, not to encourage his arrogance. And if his disciple continues to play like this, he will sooner or later make a lot of enemies for Longhu Mountain.

……

The host once again strongly inserted himself into the conversation with netizens:

I think the clever friends have already discovered the problem of Tianshifu's squinting eyes. I will just make a two-dimensional summary for you:

Squinty eyes don’t understand people’s hearts!

As for who this squinty-eyed man is, I’m sure you all already know, after all, he is so famous. …

That’s right, it’s none other than the 65th Heavenly Master of the Heavenly Master’s Mansion in Mount Longhu - Tiantong Taoist Zhang Zhiwei!

At that time, the old Taoist thought that Zhang Zhiwei was too arrogant. Although he was not the kind of arrogant person that the public generally understood, Zhang Zhiwei was indeed "crazy".

He is an upright, open-minded and selfless person. He is carefree and can't hide anything. He does whatever he wants as long as he has a clear conscience. He says whatever he thinks and says whatever he wants.

Zhang Zhiwei's arrogance is not a reckless act, but a kind of heroic spirit. He is gifted and open-minded by nature. He is not bothered by external things and has no other concerns. He can do his best, but he only knows how to be himself.

Even though his abilities far surpassed those of his peers, he never looked down on anyone. He respected his teachers, elders, and everyone.

His teacher advised him to stop when discussing with others, but he just thought that as long as he didn't hurt others, he didn't think about the deeper social practices.

Thinking that you can win but still playing tricks on others just to win by a few moves is a true disrespect to your opponent.

Fortunately, he was born in a noble family and had a prestigious master to support him. Otherwise, if he did not show mercy when sparring with others, others would definitely be dissatisfied or even hate him if they were narrow-minded.

If a man with such a chivalrous character were born into a martial arts world, he would live a happy life traveling the world as a knight.

But Zhang Zhiwei is a practitioner who has entered the Xuanmen sect. He is the only candidate that Zhang Jingqing has high hopes for to inherit his mantle. He will be the 65th generation Heavenly Master who will lead the entire Zhengyi Longhu Mountain Heavenly Master Mansion in the future!

Such a person will not do well unless he has a deep understanding of worldly affairs, and his "arrogance" will become a major obstacle on the path of cultivation.

The four simple words "human relations and worldly affairs" are so ingenious that the Taoist priest put in a lot of effort and effort to practice what he preached, because what others say is not as good as what you understand yourself. He believes that example speaks louder than words.

It's rare for a teacher to teach his apprentice to this extent.

……

So does it mean that the old Taoist priest’s education of “giving the rebellious disciple a beating” has failed?

How can that be possible? The Heavenly Master is about to do something ruthless!

Before returning to the mountain, the old Taoist priest gave a stern warning: "Zhang Zhiwei, don't say a word about this competition when you return! Do you understand?"

"sure."

Zhang Zhiwei agreed so readily!

As a result, within two days of returning to the mountain, the old Taoist priest saw his disciple smiling foolishly, so he went up to ask the disciple and he replied:

Although we practitioners should not care about false reputation, the competition between the Zhiweihe people brought honor to our Tianshi Mansion, so of course I, as a fellow disciple, am very happy.

The Taoist priest felt strange. It had only been a few days, but the news had spread so quickly from thousands of miles away.

The disciple immediately said, "Why do you need outsiders to tell it? Do you still expect it to be hidden? Even the vegetable sellers down the mountain know it!"

The Heavenly Master was so angry!

He went to find Zhang Zhiwei with a lot of anger, and happened to see him bragging to his fellow apprentices.

Zhang Zhiwei laughed and complained that the master of Xuanmen didn't like to speak his mind directly, and always used the code words "knock on your head three times and then close the front door with your hands behind your back". His master wanted me to learn the methods of his sect but he didn't say it directly.

Everyone joined in the cheering, and the air was suddenly filled with a happy atmosphere.

The most generous Tian Jinzhong suggested that all the fellow disciples collect some good tea together to reward Brother Zhiwei.

Everyone cheered and even called out the timid big-eared person outside the circle. …

Zhang Zhiwei said casually that Big Ears had no money, so there was no need for everyone to treat me, I would treat everyone!

The Taoist priest who was watching the show behind him appeared at this moment, breaking the joyful atmosphere.

The Taoist priest, who was already angry, looked at the boastful Zhang Zhiwei, and then saw the stupid Big Ears, who was even more angry. He gave Squinty Eyes a warning that he would be repaid later, and asked Big Ears to go with him.

When they reached a deserted place, the Heavenly Master asked Big Ears: You often go down the mountain, and believers give you gifts, how come you don’t even have money to treat your brother to tea?

Big Ears smiled innocently and said that he had always been poor and had no money.

My son, I am very disappointed in you!

The Taoist priest threw out a cloth bag with a cold face, which contained dozens of dollars, and asked Big Ears: You have buried all the money, how can you not be embarrassed in your bag?

Then he asked angrily: Did I take you in when you were in trouble, accept you as my disciple, and teach you some tricks just to let you bully your master?

Big Ears was so scared that he immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.

The Taoist priest added: I saved your life, and your fellow disciples treated you like a brother. Your behavior is really chilling!

Big Ears quickly said sincerely: I have only kept this matter a secret from you and everyone else, please forgive me this time!

When the Heavenly Master heard this, his heart sank even more. He walked behind Big Ear and grabbed his unworthy disciple by the neck, gathering his Qi and strength to threaten him: Is it just a small matter of hiding money? I will destroy you, my unworthy disciple, today!

The Taoist priest was just trying to scare people and force the disciple to reveal his true feelings.

But Big Ear had a guilty conscience, thinking that his master was really going to destroy him, so he tore off his disguise of mediocrity and incompetence, no longer concealed his strength, emitted a strong golden light, broke free from his restraints, turned around and ran out of the yard.

The Heavenly Master followed him out and asked angrily: You really let your master down. You treat your master and his disciples as fools. Isn't it unfair for you to be accused of bullying your master?

Big Ears wanted to turn the tables, and asked the Heavenly Master with a look of horror and grievance:

"Master! Why is it so?"

Yes, do you know how hard I worked to cultivate such a deep golden light? Do you know how much hardship I went through to hide it from everyone? Although it has been exposed now, I just feel that I was wronged!

Big Ear Boy observed the Master's expression and saw that his Master had no intention of softening his attitude, so he immediately put down his feet -

Run away~

. .

Chapter 9 Traitor, you said you don’t know martial arts!

Alas, even I, an outsider, can’t see clearly and I don’t know what the old Taoist priest felt at that time.

After all, the love between a man and his child is so deep that even the big-eared Taoist priest felt sorry for his son. He stayed in Longhu Mountain for a few days and when he saw that the unfilial boy refused to come back on his own, he went down the mountain to look for him himself.

Not long after the Taoist priest strolled down the street, Big Ears showed up on his own initiative.

Taoist Priest: Why don’t you run away? Why do you appear in front of me? Aren’t you afraid that I will destroy you?

Big Ears: I have thought it through. This life and this body were given to me by my master. It is only right for you to take them back. But you are not a cruel person, so why do you have to destroy me?

Although what Big Ears did was disgusting, his complaint did have some truth to it. It would have been fine for the Heavenly Master to give him a good beating, but it was really unreasonable to cripple him.

In this day and age, countless people are terrified when talking about the company, but the highest penalty available is just cripplement.

But friends should be able to guess that the old Taoist priest is just trying to scare people and has no intention of really destroying him. If a fight really starts, with Big Ears's skills, there will be no chance of escaping from the Taoist priest from the very beginning.

The Taoist priest took Big Ears to a deserted place to start his love education:
