Chapter 261 The Master of Warm Wine
Fu Jingtao and Gu Tianqiong traveled across mountains, rivers, and vast forests, and arrived at Luoying Town at dusk.
The small town is the gateway to Lingyun City, guarding the chokepoint and a must-pass for entering and exiting the mountain city. Going further east, the sky is high and the sea is vast, and it is beyond the actual control of Xuanyuan Sect.
The place where Cheng Tong was ambushed and died was located near Luoying Town.
The two found an inn to stay, put away their bags, and ate in the lobby on the first floor.
Gu Tianqiong poured three glasses of wine, sprinkled them one by one on the ground, and sighed: "Senior Brother Cheng's untimely death is really a tragedy for Xuanyuan, and it still makes me sad to think about it. Jingtao, do you know that Senior Brother Cheng is here?"
Where did he die? I want to go and pay homage tomorrow."
Fu Jingtao shook his head and said: "There is another hidden reason behind Master Cheng's death. The Law Enforcement Hall strictly blocked the news and did not reveal the specific place where he was attacked and killed."
Gu Tianqiong couldn't hide his disappointment on his face, and sighed: "The heroes are scattered, and the sea of people is vast. I don't know when I can kill the enemy and comfort my senior brother's spirit in the sky?"
Fu Jingtao said bitterly: "It is said that Uncle Cheng fell into the heart-broken boy's plot and had to fight and die. If I catch that dwarf evil boy, I will cut him into pieces!"
Gu Tianqiong said sternly: "Heartbroken Boy is cunning and vicious, and his whereabouts are secretive. He combines the secret methods of corpse refining and poison cultivation. His methods are extremely terrifying, and he has a puppet zombie king following him. In case you bump into him alone, it is still best to go as far as possible.
"With Cheng Tong's ability, he has suffered a big loss, how can Fu Jingtao be his opponent?
Fu Jingtao patted the Sky-Splitting Bow and said in a deep voice: "I won't be stupid enough to fight him in close combat. I can kill him with one arrow from a hundred steps away!"
Gu Tianqiong asked doubtfully: "Is your bow and arrow skills so powerful?"
Fu Jingtao smiled and said: "If you don't believe me, uncle, I will show you my skills one day and let you see my divine archery skill of piercing a Yang with a hundred steps!"
Gu Tianqiong frowned and said: "You multi-task and dabble in many martial arts, how can you chew them all? If you are willing to concentrate on practicing one martial skill, wouldn't it be amazing?"
Fu Jingtao laughed and said, "To be honest with you, uncle, I am following the path of cultivation where fists transform all kinds of martial arts. The more martial arts you are proficient in, the more likely you are to attain enlightenment."
Gu Tianqiong said: "How difficult it is to convert all dharmas into one with the fist! None of the great masters in the world chose this path. As far as I know, there are only two people who have entered the Tao through fists, and one is Lingbo Gege.
Murong Bei, the leader, and Zong Wei, the leader of the Demon Cult. What they pursue is the ultimate in boxing skills, tempering the body to the limit, and disdain to wield swords and guns. You have to find a new way, and there is no previous experience to learn from, and every step forward is extremely difficult.
.”
Fu Jingtao smiled faintly and asked: "Since we are talking about the powerful master in this world, who dares to be called the best in the world?"
Gu Tianqiong said: "If a strong person who has entered the realm of a master is not sure of victory, how can he rashly fight against another master? They may die as long as they lose once! Therefore, no one dares to claim the title of No. 1 in the world.
Seize it, lest you become the target of public criticism.”
Fu Jingtao said slowly: "Who among martial arts practitioners doesn't want to claim to be the 'No. 1 in the world'? I guess the masters are not making false claims, but they are not absolutely sure of defeating the challenger! If someone can break through the realm of the master,
Shackles will definitely cause huge waves because of the title of number one."
"Above the Grandmaster?" Gu Tianqiong said thoughtfully, "What level is that?"
Fu Jingtao thought of Patriarch Chen Tuan, who was like a divine dragon with no head and tail, and said leisurely: "Beyond the Grandmaster, you have to overcome life and death, step into the void, and almost achieve Taoism and become an immortal!"
Gu Tianqiong murmured: "Destroy life and death? Step into the void?" His whole body was shocked, the divine light in his eyes flickered, and the hidden aura in his body rose and fell like the ocean tide. He actually felt something because of this sentence. He has reached the level of his acquired peak.
, purely honing martial arts or improving internal strength is of little significance. What is needed is to understand the laws of heaven and earth, grasp the true meaning of martial arts, and thereby break through to the innate realm.
Fu Jingtao did not dare to disturb him, and silently raised his glass to drink.
After a full quarter of an hour, Gu Tianqiong returned to his original state. He looked at him with half surprise and half admiration and said: "Your insights are so unconstrained and unimaginable that no one has thought before. It's really amazing! I caught this thread today."
The opportunity for breakthrough is all thanks to you."
Fu Jingtao said: "Uncle, you are too praised! How can I dare to take credit for my virtue and ability?"
Gu Tianqiong smiled casually: "Good boy, pour the wine!"
Fu Jingtao drank three more glasses and, feeling slightly drunk, couldn't help but ask: "Uncle Gu, I would like to ask, how far are you from the realm of innateness now?"
"How far away?"
Gu Tianqiong lowered his eyes and looked at the wine glass in his hand, and said leisurely: "It's so close, it's like the end of the world! This distance is just one step away, and I may not be able to cross it until my death. I have been practicing hard for many years, but I still can't find an opportunity for a breakthrough.
I simply took the initiative to go down the mountain and try my luck. I didn’t expect that I would not be able to find anything even after I had worn out my iron shoes. It took no effort to get here. It was actually you who gave me the inspiration.”
"Shouldn't Uncle Master immediately devote himself to meditation?"
"If you do it intentionally and fall behind, you will not be able to seize the opportunity to make a breakthrough. If you can connect the world with your body and mind and let nature take its course, you will truly take that step."
Fu Jingtao seemed to understand, scratched his head and said, "Then how can we communicate between heaven and earth?"
Gu Tianqiong laughed and said: "Tao is formless and indescribable, indescribable and indescribable. You can't see it first, but you can't see its back. It all depends on self-realization. How do you want me to describe it?"
Fu Jingtao smiled and said: "Uncle Master's words are so mysterious and profound that I can't understand them yet. Why don't you tell me some anecdotes about the great masters so that I can gain some insights?"
Gu Tianqiong was in a good mood, and immediately started to talk happily over wine.
Among the world-recognized masters, the most famous ones include Khitan Master Yelu Yannu, Lingbo Pavilion Master Murong Bei, Pengkun Island Master Li Mengyang, Xuanyuan Sect Jiang Lie, Shushan Jianmen Ji Fenglei, Duxiu Peak Master Tang Mohua, Tubo Xue
King Basang of Long Temple, Abbot Wu Zhen of Wuxiang Temple, Chong Xiaozi, the leader of Taiyi Palace, Master Xuanqing of Wudang Zhenwu Temple, Zong Wei, the leader of the Demon Sect, Xiao Hen, the leader of the Tianmo Sect, and the Nine Nether Demon Emperor of the Nine Nether Valley.
Shen Yu, Bi Youming, the evil king of Tianxie Sect, etc. As for those who have just entered the realm of masters, such as Yun Qingzi, etc., I will not list them one by one.
Grandmasters also have joys and sorrows, ups and downs, successes and failures, some are young and frivolous, some praise and some slander, some have gains and losses.
For example, when Ji Fenglei was young and unrestrained, he showed mercy everywhere. He incurred many love debts, made many beauties shed tears of lovesickness, and was scolded for being unlucky. In order to create the "Dream-Broken Fierce Sun Sword", Li Mengyang once set sail on the sea and sneaked in alone.
In the pirate lair, he tempered his sword skills with human blood and slaughtered hundreds of Japanese pirates and bandits, leaving his hands covered in blood.
Another example is Zong Wei, who was criticized for his domineering and lustful nature. He would try to rob any woman he liked, whether married or not, and kept as many as hundreds of concubines. Xiao Hen wore a half-skull mask all year round, cold and cruel,
He likes to throw his erring subordinates into the wormholes of the Blood Demon Cave and watch the scenes of poisonous insects devouring living people. Bi Youming is eccentric, fierce and moody. He enjoys castrating his enemies. He is also very good at cooking and calls himself the "God of Cooking in Southern Xinjiang".
