Chapter 1352: Martial Arts Mastery
As for why it is said that warriors are hard to find, in today's world, one can enter the Tao through martial arts. Once one enters the Tao through martial arts, he is a Taoist and no longer a martial artist.
The so-called martial artist refers to someone who has reached the threshold of entering the Tao but chooses another path instead of entering. Only in this way can he be regarded as a martial artist.
Let’s just say that Wu Yuan, who was killed by Zhao Cheng at the time, can be said to be very brave. He not only practiced martial arts since he was a child, but also had amazing talents. However, he touched the threshold of Taoism without Zhao Cheng’s existence. That was also ten years later. .
Of course, at that time, he had already surrendered to Cao Zheng. If he really dared to join the Tao, the next moment he would be attacked by swords.
Those who are officials or generals cannot enter Taoism. This is the rule.
However, when it comes to entering the Tao, if the talent is too good, to a certain extent, the better it is, the harder it will be to enter the Tao through martial arts.
Just like the original Overlord, his martial arts skills were superb, but when he started, his path was blocked and he could not condense his Tao seeds. He could only tap into the body's own potential to the best of his ability, and even achieved a breakthrough to a certain extent. The limits of its own species.
If the reason is to be investigated, it is the difference between the earth and the void. Dao comes from the void, but martial arts originates from the earth. The origins of the two are inherently different, but there are some intersections in some places.
Therefore, there is an alternative method of entering the Tao through martial arts, borrowing the power of the earth to cultivate the void.
In this world where immortality is possible through Taoism, most of those who practice martial arts are aiming to enter Taoism through martial arts, and few pursue the ultimate in martial arts.
After all, the Ancient Overlord is already the pinnacle of this road. This road has an end that can be seen, but the road of Taoism has no end.
Of course, there are many generals in the imperial court, and eight warriors are definitely enough to get them together, but ordinary warriors are just that, even if they wear armor and go into battle, they can only fight against thirty or fifty enemies.
But with such combat power, he is already considered a fierce general.
As for the enemy of a hundred people, that already belongs to the category of divine generals.
Fan Qingmeng’s idea is to find eight divine generals who can defeat a hundred enemies!
"Martial men are easy to find, but tyrannical warriors are not so easy to find..."
Liu Guangzheng frowned.
However, although he appeared embarrassed, he already had several candidates in mind.
Generally speaking, there can always be two or three divine generals who are enemies of a hundred people in thirty to fifty years. As for the powerful five people who are dedicated to martial arts, there can also be a few in thirty to fifty years. They can be pieced together, and if they want It is not impossible to raise all the funds.
As for Liu Guangzheng, when he heard Fan Qingmeng talk about martial arts, two names had already flashed in his mind.
One is called Yang Yue, and the other is called Gu Daotian.
These two people are easy to find for Yang Yue. They are now in the capital of the gods, but Gu Daotian, when he heard the other person's name in his previous life, it was already five years later. At this point, he wants to know the other person's name. Whereabouts, the possibility is not high.
Of course, these two people are the two most powerful warriors in Liu Guangzheng's knowledge. As for the others, although they are brave as god generals, they are not as good as these two.
…
The next day, Liu Guangzheng's bicycle frame arrived at the Yang Mansion in the capital city without attracting much attention.
The Yang family in the divine capital was unparalleled in this area just fifty years ago. It is a pity that the wind and rain always blow away the wind. Fifty years later, there is no one in the Yang family for several generations. No matter how talented a person appears, his family fortune is in decline compared to before.
But Liu Guangzheng knew that although the general Yang family had no reputation now, they were loyal to the great Cang.
Just last week, in order to protect Da Cang, all the men of the Yang family died outside, leaving only some old, weak, women and children inside.
But even so, in the last life, when thieves came to Beijing, Yang Yue, the 116-year-old old man of the Yang family, was obviously too old to walk, but he still forced himself to fight with strength and armor.
One person and one horse are invincible.
He killed three people directly and killed more than 200 enemies. In the end, he was not even killed, but died of exhaustion.
Being so old and still having such fighting power is undoubtedly the pinnacle of martial arts, the ultimate in martial arts.
If Yang Yueqi had such martial arts when he was at his strongest, he would probably be the second best to the Overlord.
And being so old, his energy and energy can only support such an explosion.
If he didn't forcibly increase his vitality, he might be able to live for another year or two. If he used it, he would die. Even if he didn't exhaust himself, he would still die.
This is why, although Liu Guangzheng knew the bravery of this old man, he had never thought about the reason why the other party took command.
Just one fight and everyone will be gone, so there is really no need.
Here, we can also see the difference between martial arts and Taoism. Even if the martial arts is so strong, the killer will die and turn into ashes when he dies. But if he is a Taoist with such fighting power, he can directly kill him before he dies. Open the gate of heaven and earth, soar into the void, and gain immortality.
The only advantage of martial arts is probably that it does not require energy.
Although the Yang family was in decline, it still had its roots. Therefore, the mansion was very large. Liu Guangzheng was led along a winding road, and finally arrived at Yang Yue's residence.
This is the center of the house, but there are no buildings, but a large piece of flat land. In one corner of the flat land, there is a thatched house. Apart from that, the rest of the land has been cultivated into a vegetable plot.
When Liu Guangzheng came, there was a skinny old farmer weeding in the field.
Under normal circumstances, no one would have thought that this old farmer was the once mighty General Feixing!
The position of General is the pinnacle of military officers and is the supreme honor.
And many times, this position is vacant. Only when a general has made great contributions can he reach the top of this position.
Of course, this happened more than 60 years ago for Yang Yue.
At that time, he was just 60 years old and resigned from his post due to illness. It can be said that he retired bravely.
After all, if he did not retire, he might die in a few years.
But after retiring, he lived to more than 100 years old.
No one expected this lifespan.
"I didn't expect that Your Majesty would come in person. I, Yang Yue, pay my respects to Your Majesty!"
The old farmer noticed the movement, put down his farm tools immediately, turned around and bowed.
Although he had resigned, the title conferred by the court was still there.
When Liu Guangzheng saw this, he hurriedly stepped forward and supported the other party steadily.
…
“Three-meter strong qi, this is indeed unheard of!”
Yang Yue murmured in a low voice after listening to Liu Guangzheng’s words.
He didn’t know about the outside world before, or rather, he had completely stopped caring about worldly affairs decades ago, which is one of the reasons why he can live to this day.
Many times, knowing too much and thinking too much will not last long.
“However, turning steel into mud, if martial arts reaches the pinnacle, this is not difficult...”
While speaking, Yang Yue picked up a copper wine jar on the stone table. With a move of his palm, the thing "melted" directly and turned into fine "mud".
"Martial arts and Taoism are different. The energy of Taoism is softer, while the energy of martial arts is more powerful."
"This is also the difference between martial arts and Taoism. To enter Taoism through martial arts is the method of the void, and the void is lighter, while to communicate with the gods through martial arts is the method of the earth, and the earth is heavier."
"It was only when I was ninety years old that I realized the power of the earth and cultivated the energy of martial arts. That's why I am still alive today. Otherwise, I would have died at the age of ninety..."
He is now farming at home, in fact, he wants to understand more about the wonders of the earth, and he also gradually understands the difference between the void and the earth during this period of time.
