Chapter 197: Defeat Jiumozhi
After Duan Yu left, not far away Jiumozhi had already cracked the "Zhenlong Chess Game" and got the result.
As expected, Jiumozhi's obsession with martial arts was too deep, to the point of madness, otherwise he would not have kidnapped Duan Yu and brought him all the way from Dali to Jiangnan just to obtain the "Six Meridians Divine Sword" sword manual from Duan Yu.
After playing chess with Su Xinghe for a while, Jiumozhi also found it difficult to move forward and began to cry and laugh like Murong Fu. Just when everyone thought that Jiumozhi had gone crazy.
Jiumozhi's expression soon returned to normal. Looking at the "Zhenlong chess game" in front of him, Jiumozhi said with lingering fear: "It was a close call. I almost fell into the trap of this chess game just now."
His skills were much higher than Murong Fu's, so he was able to recover from the chess game so quickly.
"The little monk lost!"
Thinking of the danger of the Zhenlong chess game just now, Jiumozhi broke out in a cold sweat and he immediately admitted defeat.
Just now he was playing chess with Su Xinghe. Su Xinghe was defending the chessboard while he cracked the game. It was as if he was really trapped in the illusion of two armies fighting each other. At the beginning, they were evenly matched, but after ten moves, his white chess pieces were completely at a disadvantage.
He was puzzled, and many of his past obsessions came to his mind. He gradually fell into madness in his thinking and almost went insane.
Fortunately, he had profound skills and practiced Buddhism diligently, and he quickly broke the illusion in his mind. Otherwise, he would have ended up like Murong Fu, running away madly and losing all face.
"The master is a master of chess."
Su Xinghedao who had just played chess with Jiumozhi.
This is a compliment to Jiumozhi's chess skills, because among those who just cracked the "Zhenlong Chess Game", Jiumozhi was the one who played against him for the longest time.
"Mr. Su, is there anyone who can really crack this "Zhenlong chess game"?"
Jiumozhi asked Su Xinghe.
The game just now made him feel that this was a dead end and it was impossible for anyone in the world to crack this "Zhenlong chess game".
Su Xinghe said: "Since Master created this "Zhenlong Chess Game", there must be a way to crack it."
Jiumozhi walked aside and said, "It seems that my chess skills are too low to break this "Zhenlong chess game."
"Little monk, do you want to try and see if you can break this chess game?"
Seeing that everyone was frightened and retreated, with fear in their eyes, only an ugly little monk among the Shaolin Temple disciples had been watching the "Zhenlong Chess Game" without any fear on his face. Su Xinghe said to the little monk.
"No, no, I don't know how to play chess."
Xu Zhu waved his hands repeatedly.
"It's okay. If you don't know how, you can just do it casually."
Su Xinghe smiled.
Now the crisis of Xiaoyao Sect has been resolved, and the traitor Ding Chunqiu has been eliminated by his master Wuyazi. However, since he has already spread the news of the "Zhenlong Chess Game" in the world, he naturally has to do what he says.
"Old man, if I don't play well, don't blame me."
After hearing Su Xinghe's words, Xu Zhu gained courage and walked to the side of the "Zhenlong Chess Game".
"of course not."
Su Xinghe nodded.
Here, Su Xinghe and Xu Zhu started playing chess.
Over there, Jiumozhi, who had just failed to crack the "Zhenlong Chess Game", saw Chu Yuan standing not far away.
Thinking of the miraculous martial arts of Chu Yuan, he said, "Young Master Chu, if it's just a simple competition, it's meaningless. How about we each add some prizes?"
Chu Yuan was puzzled: "Master, what do you mean by this?"
Jiumozhi said immediately: "Just now when I saw Young Master Chu take action, the martial arts he displayed were all very powerful, and they are rare and extraordinary martial arts in the world. It just so happens that I also have some martial arts. If Young Master Chu doesn't mind, you and I will each take out two of our martial arts as rewards for the bet, and the loser must give his two martial arts as rewards to the other party."
Chu Yuan's heart moved, he understood that Jiumozhi took a fancy to his "Nine Heavens Gangqi" and "Heaven Gang Disha Palm"!
Chu Yuan asked tentatively: "I wonder what two martial arts the master has?"
Jiumozhi said: "I have a supreme skill of the Tibetan Tantric Buddhism, the "Flame Blade", and an unexpectedly acquired "Small Formless Skill". I am willing to use it as a bet."
"Wait!" As soon as Jiumozhi finished speaking, he was interrupted by Wuyazi who was not far away.
"This 'Small Wuxiang Gong' is a martial art of my Xiaoyao Sect. I wonder where you got it from?"
Wuyazi looked at Jiumozhi with a serious gaze.
Besides him, the only people in the world who possess the "Little Wuxiang Gong" are his senior sister Wu Xingyun and his "wife" Li Qiushui.
This Jiumozhi possesses the "Small Wuxiang Gong", could it be related to the two of them?
If Jiumozhi had a relationship with Senior Sister Wu Xingyun, it would be fine, but if he had a relationship with that vicious woman "Li Qiushui"...
Wuyazi's eyes turned unfriendly.
Seeing Wuyazi's unfriendly eyes, Jiumozhi suddenly felt something was wrong. Just now, Wuyazi had easily killed the old monster Ding Chunqiu from the Star Constellation with just over twenty moves.
Although he thought his martial arts skills were better than Ding Chunqiu's, he was not necessarily a match for Wuyazi.
He really didn't expect that the "Xiao Wuxiang Gong" he obtained from the "Langhuan Jade Cave" in Mantuo Villa in Jiangnan, and its background, would cause him trouble.
"My dear senior, I gained this skill in the Langhuan Jade Cave in Mantuo Villa!"
Jiumozhi could only answer truthfully.
"Langhuan Jade Cave?"
This name reminded Wuyazi of the Langhuan blessed land where he and Li Qiushui once lived in seclusion in Wuliang Mountain in Dali.
"What's the name of the owner of this villa? How old is he?"
Wuyazi performed the Lingbo Weibu technique, and with his afterimage swaying, he looked like an immortal. In the next moment, he appeared in front of Jiumozhi, who was two or three feet away. He asked Jiumozhi anxiously.
When Jiumozhi saw this scene, his heart sank again.
"The owner of the villa is called Madam Wang by everyone else. Her name is Li Qingluo and she is about 40 years old."
Jiumozhi replied truthfully.
"Li Qingluo..."
Wuyazi suddenly remembered that he and Li Qiushui had a daughter.
If Li Qingluo is really his daughter, the Langhuan Jade Cave in Mantuo Villa should be the former Langhuan Blessed Land. No wonder the martial art "Xiao Wuxiang Gong" is found there.
"The Little Wuxiang Gong is a martial art from my Xiaoyao Sect. In your competition with my friend, you cannot use my martial arts as a bet."
Then Wuyazi said to Jiumozhi.
In his opinion, although "Xiao Wuxiang Gong" is powerful, it may not be as powerful as the martial arts that Chu Yuan just demonstrated.
What's more, if Chu Yuan wanted the "Small Wuxiang Gong", he would give it to him, and there would be no need for Chu Yuan to win it from Jiumozhi.
Jiumozhi thought for a moment and said, "Since this skill is from the Xiaoyao Sect, we don't need to use the "Small Wuxiang Gong" as a bet in this competition."
Chu Yuan alone is enough to give him a headache, and he doesn't want to offend Xiaoyao Sect and Wuyazi anymore.
Chu Yuan asked: "So it seems that the only martial art that Master has is the Flame Blade. In this case, I will use the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Evil Palm as the stakes for the duel with Master."
Jiumozhi felt somewhat disappointed. In fact, he was more coveting Chu Yuan's skill of protecting his body with internal force.
But thinking of the power Chu Yuan had just displayed when he used the "Heavenly Gang and Earthly Evil Palm", he felt that it was not weaker than the "Eighteen Palms of the Dragon Subduing" that made the Beggar Gang famous. Since Chu Yuan used the "Heavenly Gang and Earthly Evil Palm" as a weapon for fighting, it was also worthwhile.
Jiumozhi agreed and said, "Okay, I will use the Flame Blade and Young Master Chu will use the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Evil Palm as the stakes for this duel."
Chu Yuan didn't care. He felt that no matter what martial arts he used, Jiumozhi would not be able to take it away.
"please!"
Chu Yuan said.
Jiumozhi did not continue to use the "Flame Sword" this time. Last time in Mantuo Villa, he used the "Flame Sword" to deal with Chu Yuan, but the result was not ideal.
Later, he obtained the "Xiao Wuxiang Gong" and didn't want to get entangled with Chu Yuan any more, so he retreated directly.
In the following six months, he had already mastered the "Small Wuxiang Kung Fu" and his martial arts skills had reached a new level. "Young Master Chu, please give me some advice."
Jiumozhi put his hands together and said to Chu Yuan.
As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed straight towards Chu Yuan and took the initiative to attack before Chu Yuan.
He did not look down on Chu Yuan because of his age. Instead, he regarded Chu Yuan as a martial arts genius and placed Chu Yuan on the same level as himself, so he would do everything he could and use various methods to win the competition with Chu Yuan.
Jiumozhi rushed to Chu Yuan, his fists were as fast as the wind, he raised his arms and punched, his fists went straight to Chu Yuan. In the eyes of others, Jiumozhi bent five fingers and it seemed that infinite light was released from behind him.
It is the "Bright Fist", the first of the 72 Shaolin Kung Fu skills!
Chu Yuan activated the protective qi, making his whole body invulnerable to swords and spears. When Jiumozhi punched Chu Yuan, it was like hitting a wall of air, and even the force of the punch was rebounded back.
Fortunately, Jiumozhi was well prepared. He changed his moves midway and used the "Selfless and Boundless" move from the "Light Fist" to hit Chu Yuan's Dantian Qi Sea.
"This is the Bright Fist, one of the 72 unique skills of my Shaolin Temple. Where did this Tibetan monk learn my Shaolin unique skills?"
As the leader of the Shaolin monks, Zen Master Huilun looked a little grim when he saw this scene.
More importantly, the "Bright Fist" performed by this Western monk named Jiumozhi was more authentic than that of many Shaolin monks who had practiced the "Bright Fist" for most of their lives. It didn't seem like he had learned it by stealing the skills, but rather it seemed like he was a monk of the Shaolin Temple.
But this monk clearly looked like a monk from the Western Regions!
"This matter is settled. We must stop Jiumozhi and ask him about the matter clearly."
Zen Master Huilun said to himself.
Chu Yuan used his fists and palms to fight back and engaged in a battle with Jiumozhi.
Jiumozhi performed not only the "Bright Fist", but also the "Great Vajra Fist", "Great Stele Smashing Hand", "Prajna Palm", "Scattered Flower Palm", "Mahā Finger", "Tara Leaf Finger", "Formless Tribulation Finger" and so on. As long as there are martial arts moves, including fists, palms and fingers of the 72 Shaolin unique skills, he can use them at will.
Moreover, the power he exerted was incredibly high, as if he had practiced each of these martial arts to an extremely high level.
"How is this possible? Any one of the 72 Shaolin Kung Fu skills is enough for a monk to practice for decades. How is it possible for someone to master all of them at the same time?"
The Shaolin leader this time, Zen Master Huilun, had a somewhat dark complexion at first, as he felt that Shaolin's martial arts had been leaked and secretly learned by foreign monks from the Western Regions. However, as he saw that Jiumozhi was performing more and more of the 72 unique Shaolin skills, he no longer had time to be angry. He was only shocked that Jiumozhi had mastered so many martial arts to such a high level.
The 72 Shaolin Kung Fu skills!
Each martial art has its own unique internal skills. To master it, one needs decades of hard practice.
If an ordinary Shaolin monk could master one of the 72 Shaolin unique skills, it would be considered an extraordinary achievement.
It was the first time he saw someone master all of the 72 unique skills of the Duolin School to this level.
"Yes, everyone knows that the 72 Shaolin Kung Fu skills are extremely powerful. As long as a Shaolin monk can master one of the 72 Shaolin Kung Fu skills to a certain degree, he can make a name for himself in the martial arts world. This Jiumozhi is the state teacher of the Tubo Kingdom. Although we don't know where he got the secret manual of the 72 Shaolin Kung Fu skills, the fact that he can master so many of them shows that he is extremely talented. He is a martial arts genius that is rarely seen in thousands of years."
Ma Dayuan, the deputy leader of the Beggars' Sect, nodded.
"laugh!"
After hearing what Ma Dayuan and Zen Master Huilun said, Wuyazi laughed for a moment.
"I'm afraid you all have misunderstood. The reason why this monk can perform so many unique skills is not because of his high aptitude, but because he secretly learned a martial art from my Xiaoyao Sect."
Wuyazi smiled.
"May I ask what martial arts the senior has that allow him to master so many unique skills? Could it be the "Small Wuxiang Gong" that the senior just mentioned?"
Zen Master Huilun suddenly realized what was happening.
"Yes, it is the "Small Wuxiang Gong"!"
Wuyazi nodded and said, "The Small Formless Kung Fu is one of the magical skills of my Xiaoyao Sect. It is extremely powerful and its characteristic is that it has no form and no trace. As long as you have this skill and know the moves of other martial arts, you can rely on its power to imitate other people's unique skills and even surpass the original. It is difficult for people who have not learned this skill to distinguish them."
Ma Dayuan was surprised and said, "There is such a magical skill in the world?"
Wuyazi said: "There are countless magical skills in the world, and the world cannot know them all. The "Small Wuxiang Gong" is one of them."
When saying this, Wuyazi thought of Chu Yuan.
The three martial arts Chu Yuan had given himself before:
"Shenzhaojing", "Sunflower Manual", "Yijinjing"!
Any of these books is a rare achievement in the world.
If a man who practices "Sunflower Manual" mutilates his body or castrates himself, he can achieve twice the result with half the effort and quickly train himself to be a master.
The "Shenzhaojing" can activate the vitality of the human body. Wuyazi even feels that, in certain circumstances, the "Shenzhaojing" can have the effect of bringing the dead back to life.
As for the "Yi Jin Jing", needless to say, it is the secret of Shaolin Temple. I just don't know why it fell into Chu Yuan's hands.
This is only the martial arts that Chu Yuan gave him. When Chu Yuan took action, he showed that the two martial arts that could rely on internal force to protect the body and take objects from a distance were also extraordinary.
Thinking of this, Wuyazi looked towards the group of Shaolin monks not far away.
The Shaolin Temple has more than just 72 unique skills revealed to the public!
Even the secret "Yi Jin Jing" that was never passed on was passed on to outsiders.
Zen Master Huilun didn't know what Wuyazi was thinking, so he continued, "Could it be that this "Small Wuxiang Gong" is a martial art similar to the Murong family's "Dou Zhuan Xing Yi"? "
Wuyazi said: "Unlike the "Dou Zhuan Xing Yi" which uses the opponent's force to attack and transfer the force, the "Xiao Wu Xiang Gong" is subtle and profound. It can use the internal force to mobilize the martial arts of all schools and sects in the world. The power is the same as the original version, but it is ultimately calling a horse a zebra and confusing right and wrong. The subtle twists and turns are inevitably a bit specious."
Zen Master Huilun nodded and gained some understanding of the "Small Wuxiang Gong".
Just by using his internal energy, he was able to mobilize martial arts from all schools and sects in the world, and the power was the same as the original. Even though it was a bit specious, this "Xiao Wuxiang Gong" was a rare magical skill.
When Jiumozhi heard what Wuyazi said and saw that the secret of his use of the 72 Shaolin Kung Fu skills had been exposed, he couldn't help feeling angry. He held back his anger and wanted to defeat Chu Yuan.
If he could defeat Chu Yuan, his trip to the Central Plains would not be in vain.
Although he did not obtain the sword manual of "Six Meridians Divine Sword" of Dali Duan family, both "Xiao Wuxiang Gong" and "Tiangang Disha Palm" are extremely powerful martial arts.
Chu Yuan had strong Qi protecting his body, so no matter what kind of martial arts Jiumozhi used, he remained unmoved.
Jiumozhi attacked him with fists, palms and fingers, and Chu Yuan fought back with "Heavenly Gang Disha Palm" and "Destroying Heart Palm".
Not long after, the two had exchanged nearly a hundred moves.
Wherever they passed, the branches and leaves of the pines and cypresses in the Tianlong Diya Valley were shaken to the ground like raindrops by the aftermath of the fight between the two men. More than ten trees, large and small, were knocked down by the palm power of the two men.
The entire Tianlongdiya Valley was in a mess.
"Young Master Chu, one move will decide the outcome!"
Jiumozhi felt that after more than a hundred moves, he was gradually losing the upper hand. Chu Yuan was actually slightly stronger than him in terms of internal strength. If the fight continued, his hope of winning would become even slimmer.
As soon as he finished speaking, he kicked up a pine tree trunk as thick as a pottery bowl on the ground. As the trunk rushed towards Chu Yuan, he used the "One Clap, Two Scatter Palm" with all his internal strength. The violent palm force fell towards Chu Yuan from behind the trunk.
"Right on my mind."
The internal force of Chu Yuan's body gushed out, and through the opened meridians, it condensed and gathered in his right palm. Chu Yuan used the "Tian Gang Di Sha Palm" to the extreme.
Chu Yuan has already practiced the "Heavenly Gang and Earthly Evil Palm" to the level of melting iron and refining gold, so his palm is equally extraordinary.
boom!
The palm power of the two men hit the tree trunk, which was as soft as tofu. In an instant, it was destroyed by the palm power of the two men and exploded into pieces of wood of varying sizes.
In the Tianlongdiya Valley, there was a moment of flying wood chips.
After piercing through the tree trunk, the two men's palms came into contact with each other, and the palm forces collided. A huge aftermath spread in the valley with the two men as the center.
Fortunately, seeing the fierce fight between the two just now, the martial artists were afraid of being accidentally injured by them, so they all avoided them, so there was no one within a radius of 70 to 80 feet around them!
But the surrounding trees suffered for a while.
Nearly seven or eight pine and cypress trees were knocked all over the place by the huge aftermath of the collision between the two palms, and they were in danger of breaking and falling down at any time.
However, the collision of the palms between Chu Yuan and Jiumozhi did not immediately determine the winner.
After a moment's stalemate, Jiumozhi's body became as thin as paper and his face turned red, and he was blasted away by Chu Yuan's palm force.
He flew two meters away and his body crashed into a green pine tree behind him. The trunk of the pine tree was broken and fell down. Jiumozhi used the force to fall to the ground. He spat out a mouthful of blood and his originally red face immediately turned as pale as paper.
"Young Master Chu, I admit defeat. I am no match for you."
Jiumozhi raised his head and said to Chu Yuan.
