Chapter 41 On the Tao
Since Yan Kuangtu lost, there is no second person in the sixth position of the Weapon Score to challenge again. This is also the arena with the least number of challenges in the Weapon Score rankings so far!
Those who have such martial arts are not stupid. Yan Kuangtu’s martial arts are already the top among the rest of the people, but Yang Yi’s performance is obviously better than him. Such martial arts are probably OK to compete for the first place, but Yang Yi only won the sixth place. The warriors have considered it again and again and did not stop coming to the stage!
Facing such an emperor with such martial arts cultivation, how can everyone dare to offend him casually!
Look at the person who came on stage to challenge Yang Yi, a master who was not betrayed by Dongfang and whose future in martial arts was blocked, naturally he had no scruples; and Yan Kuangtu, there is no one in the world who is more crazy than him!
Looking around, Yang Yi felt the loneliness of Dugu Qiubai's sword invincible hands!
...
The seventh place in the Tianlist, the top ten are getting fewer and fewer. Almost all the truly recognized unparalleled warriors are on the stage. There are naturally many remaining masters, but the levels of everyone are not very different!
Those who are qualified to compete for the remaining three places in the top ten are Zhang Sanfeng, Chuanying, Yan Fei, Sun En, Dugu Qiubai, Aqing, Jin Shiyi, Xiao Qiushui, Li Cunxiao, Song Que, Wei Qingqingqing, Qiao Beiming, Wu Zhao, Pang Ban, Lang Fanyun, Huang Shang, Ximen Chuxue, Yan Nantian, Wang Chongyang, etc.!
These masters are almost at the same level, and no one can say that they can defeat another person completely, so this battle is extremely exciting!
Almost half of the remaining ninety-four masters participated in this battle, but the one who won the final victory was still a woman, Yue Nu Jian Aqing!
Ah Qing is naturally extremely beautiful. She has a melon-shaped face, long eyelashes, big eyes, white skin, very beautiful appearance, slim figure, and weak and slender. She looks like a beautiful girl, but it was this girl who narrowly defeated Jin Shiyi with a green bamboo sword and then defeated Pang Ban, Wu Zhao, Li Cunxiao, Dugu Qiubai and others, and then won the seventh place on the Tianlist with her absolute strength!
Moreover, after this battle, a "Goddess of Yue" also jumped directly to the top of the sword, replacing the Dugu Jiujian that Dugu Qiu had previously lost!
This peerless sword technique was a white ape that could make bamboo sticks while she was shepherding. Since then, he has often fought with it with bamboo sticks, so he has learned a high sword technique.
This is the sword art that Ah Qing has learned with his peerless talent, a pure sword!
After this battle, Dugu Qiubai seemed to have become a joke. The position of the number one swordsman is really unworthy of its reputation. From the first place in the Heavenly List to the seventh place in the Heavenly List, almost everyone is using swords, but Dugu Qiubai is not among them!
The number eighth weapon score is that the remaining positions in the top ten are getting fewer and fewer. You should know that only the top ten are the people on the Tianlist, and there are only ten people on the Tianlist. Although there are hundreds of people on the weapons score, except for the top ten, the remaining people in the world will not promote them. Even those storytellers, if they encounter any news about the world, I am afraid they will talk about the top ten first!
The eighth person on the list of the sky, the man in gray robe first appeared. He looked quite old and had a face full of wind and frost!
His opponent is Zhang Sanfeng, the master of Wudang, Zhang Sanfeng!
"Zhang Sanfeng of Wudang has met the famous heroes!"
He is very respectful to this gray-robed man Zhang Sanfeng!
The man in gray robe shook his head and said, "I have never been a senior or a hero, at least in this world. In the past, people in the world once called me the big devil!"
Naturally, there are many people who know this man in gray robe. After all, the swordsmanship conference has been held, and no one knows the names of the 100 masters, but this is also the concern of those concerned people, and some indifferent people do not know them. These people are also the objects of storytellers selling detailed information on weapons and spectrums!
Most people say that after hearing this person’s introduction, they may feel a little sad. Not everyone can afford this title. Those who can have such a title are almost all public enemies in the martial arts world, and they are definitely people who can stop children from crying at night!
However, this old man in gray robe did not have any rebellious spirit between his eyebrows and eyes. Instead, he was as kind as an ordinary old man, and there was no sign of a devil at all!
However, since ancient times, none of the demons in the world have a hateful face and engraved the word "evil" on their foreheads. Most of them are beautiful men and women who seem to be fairy-like, or are they also hypocritical external stars. For example, the couple who can be called the most vicious couple, Ye Erniang and Xuan Ci, one is a villain in the world, and the other Shaolin abbot, are not people with evil deeds, but what they do is a point of reference; and those few ugly and evil-looking crooked men, like Duan Yanqing, are definitely not called great devils!
"Senior, are you welcome. How many of us in the world have never done anything to kill? Besides, although our Taoism is not as good as Buddhism, "put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha," it doesn't...
The old man in gray robe frowned at this time, interrupting Zhang Sanfeng's words and said, "You are polite Master Zhang, you are a Taoist, I am not a Taoist! I just sorted out Taoist classics by the emperor's orders, and learned the Taoist martial arts from it. I am not a Taoist!"
Zhang Sanfeng smiled at this time, "Senior, my opinion, I have benefited a lot from compiling Taoist scriptures back then. I have created that peerless martial arts treasure book from Taoist scriptures, and not many people in my Taoist school can match!"
The man in gray robe said at this moment: "Master Zhang, the matter of discussing martial arts and Taoism at this time is just a situation. If Taoism goes so far, it is just an interpretation of the principles in the world. What I have learned is just to guess it by myself. It is not as good as your outstanding system in Taoism. How can you be called a Taoist?
In today's arena, I want to discuss the ultimate principles of heaven and earth with Master Zhang!
I have always had a question. Since you said that martial arts is just an external manifestation of Taoist knowledge reaching a certain level, why do people in the world still use martial arts to enter the Tao, practice martial arts first and then hear the Tao?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Sanfeng laughed and said, "Okay, since you have such a good mood, then we will not discuss martial arts today, but talk about Taoism!"
In the martial arts system, Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism, Mo, etc. are all theoretical factions of cultivation. However, most of the martial arts circulating in the world are Taoism or Buddhists. Some people claim to be able to gather the strengths of the two schools, but very few are successful, because the concepts of each school here are really conflicting, and practicing both will lead to conflicts in martial arts routines.
The man in gray robe said that learning martial arts with Taoism and entering Taoism with martial arts are two different ways of Taoist martial arts. One is to focus on the knowledge of the masters, and then suddenly realize at a certain moment that all kinds of martial arts can be mastered at one point, thus reaching the peak of martial arts; the other is to start practicing hard at the beginning, and when the martial arts practice reaches a certain level, he suddenly gains the supreme principles of Taoism through martial arts, and thus advances to the realm of martial arts.
People in the martial arts world often follow the latter method. After all, at the beginning, people do not follow the principles of practicing martial arts. When they practiced at the end, they realized the truth in one move. This is the theory of realm. The path of a great master is actually a manifestation of gaining the supreme truth.
After Zhang Sanfeng laughed, he was silent for a while, as if he was meditating on something. After a while, he looked up and said, "Senior, is the ultimate goal of using martial arts to enter the Tao and using martial arts to enter the Tao, is it the same destination?"
The man in gray robe said at this time: "The same destination is the same, but it is not the same destination. In the end, all Taoist knowledge and the principles of martial arts are understood. If the final destination is to understand both, then it can be regarded as the same destination. If someone's final purpose is to practice martial arts, and some people's final purpose is to practice Taoism, then it is not the same destination as the same destination."
After a smile, Zhang Sanfeng said, "Senior's words are really cautious. Senior, do people in the martial arts world want to practice martial arts? Or practice Taoism?"
The man in gray robe smiled and said, "If you make a choice according to your words, you will fall into your trap; or I will ask you, should those monks from the Shaolin School practice martial arts or chant Buddha's name? These two are indispensable, and the saying of "martial arts obstacles" in Shaolin martial arts makes a lot of sense."
Zhang Sanfeng nodded and said, "Senior said this is correct, but if I had chosen now, I would choose to use martial arts to enter the Tao."
The man in gray robe was stunned for a moment and said, "This is not like you. You are the true man of Wudang and the ancestor of the Wudang lineage. If you say that you are obsessed with martial arts, few people in this world would believe it."
Zhang Sanfeng said at this time: "Senior, this is true. I mean that now, if I come to choose, I will choose the ultimate goal to practice martial arts rather than practice Taoism."
"Do you have doubts about Taoism?" The man in gray robe was quite puzzled.
Zhang Sanfeng shook his head and said, "But it is not the case. If you change the time, you may choose to practice Taoism."
The man in gray robe was lowering his head and pondering at this moment. He seemed to have learned something from Zhang Sanfeng's words.
...
Most of the players in the audience were confused about the arguments of these two people. As they spoke, the two people on the stage had already reached the level of philosophy and ideological and political. After a while, they felt that the man in the gray robe had some truths, but they also felt that Zhang Sanfeng had some truths. But the last two people were a little difficult to understand, and most of them seemed to understand!
After a while, the man in gray robe said: "Master Zhang's statement is nothing more than different time and different people's ideas. However, the Taoist scriptures I have read all emphasize a clear principle, which is eternal and unchanging. If it changes all the time, it is not the truth."
Zhang Sanfeng frowned. It was his turn to ponder. Many people understood it now. The truth was axiom. Just like there are always some theorems in physics and mathematics. If they are constantly changing, it is not theorems.
After standing on the mountain peak and pondering for a while, he suddenly said, "Senior, there are countless people in Taoism who are looking for and exploring the truth you have said. In fact, no one can tell the truth. Can you see it?"
The man in gray robe sighed and said, "The Tao is telling, it is very Tao. Even if I have read so many books and collections, I have not found an eternal and unchanging truth of the way of heaven. But isn't this the lifelong pursuit of the truth of heaven?"
Zhang Sanfeng said at this time: "Maybe not. Whether we practice martial arts or practice Taoism, we have a goal at the beginning. However, as time changes, this goal continues to change. We are just looking for the principles we agree with in this process. Mr. Guo Jing, senior, you know it too!"
"I know this. Guo Jing, the hero of the hero, has something to do with you and me, and I have always admired him!" said the man in gray robe.
Zhang Sanfeng nodded and said, "He is my life model. I heard that when he was a teenager, Guo Jing practiced martial arts only because of a bet by his masters. He himself didn't know why he wanted to practice martial arts.
Later, when the hero Guo Jing came to the Central Plains, his behavioral experience gradually changed. What he knew was that he was constantly practicing martial arts and might be able to win the qualification to compete for swordsmanship in Huashan.
Later, his martial arts skills grew higher, and he could even be said to be the best in the martial arts world at that time. However, he turned to seek national justice for the country and the people. Wushu was just a way and means for him to realize his thoughts. It was his help to defend Xiangyang and stop wars. Can the senior say that he has always believed in a concept?”
The man in gray robe said: "Of course not, but his martial arts are not just about following Taoist philosophy."
"Yes, the martial arts of the hero Guo Jing is extremely mixed, so it cannot be said that he is all Taoist. It's just his foundation, but whether it is the internal skills he has learned, the Nine Yin Scriptures, and the Eighteen Palms of the Dragon Subduing, they all conform to the Taoist philosophy. Taoism is a school, and in fact, it does not have to really learn those principles to be considered Taoist." Zhang Sanfeng said this at this time.
The man in gray robe smiled and said, "Your theory is sharp. Even so, I want to say that Guo Jing still has an eternal truth in his heart. He always pays attention to a clear conscience in his work and life. Whether he practices martial arts or guards Xiangyang, he has never changed from beginning to end. If his heart changes, he will not be the hero Guo Jing."
Zhang Sanfeng asked again at this time: "Have you been trying to find a reason for these years?"
The man in gray robe sighed: "When I was young, I studied and learned calligraphy. When I was in the officialdom, I was also confused. Later, after reading so many Taoist scriptures, I seemed to have learned a lot of truths, but these truths did not become a system from beginning to end. Even if I realized various martial arts later, I was just passive and did not really want to learn martial arts. As my martial arts became higher, no one in the world was my opponent, but I became more confused. What was my purpose in this life? Should I learn martial arts, practice Taoism, live in seclusion in the wilderness, or hide in the court?
Back then, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty recruited me to the court and became an official again, but I didn’t have this idea. The reason why I debated with you today was to find what I wanted; in terms of martial arts, I can say that I am proud of anyone, but in terms of Taoist knowledge, you are a real person in Wudang, a master in Taoism, and you are better at this system."
