The Three Heroes of Qilu did not doubt Chen Ran's words. Chen Ran's supernatural power was better than countless martial arts in the human world. Even Zhou Chun, who was the most suspicious, could not think of a reason for Chen Ang to lie to them. Of course, Chen Ang did not lie to them. In Jianghu during the Northern Song Dynasty, his name was indeed terrifying. To say that the heroes were helpless and their swords were empty was an understatement. To be exact, he dominated Jianghu and shocked the martial arts world.
His terrifying dominance had cast a shadow over the entire Jianghu for three hundred years.
Chen Ang only omitted some time and space relationships. For example, the Northern Song Dynasty he lived in was not the Northern Song Dynasty of this world, and he had never experienced the period from the Northern Song Dynasty to the end of the Ming Dynasty. But these were not important. They only needed to know these limited facts.
So Li Ning and the other two hurriedly replied, "We haven't mastered our skills yet. We don't dare to expect to learn from you. Master, please consider and teach us."
Chen Ang shook his head and smiled. "I'm busy with cultivation. I don't have time to play around with those martial arts masters in Jianghu. I'm teaching you the martial arts of the past because I don't want my skills to be lost. It's just a memory. If you can't learn these things, I might as well teach you some shallow martial arts and kick you out of the door! "
Li Ning and the others came to their senses. They knew that Chen Ang really didn't care about the martial arts of the human world. He didn't want to play around with those kinds of tests. He didn't want his disciples to die. He had to make a solemn oath that if he dared to teach others without permission, he would die with pus all over his body. Only then would he pass on the hidden rules of martial arts.
They quickly changed their words and told the truth. Chen Ang asked them to tell him the martial arts they were good at. After listening to them, he thought for a moment and distributed a stack of hemp paper to the three of them.
Chen Ang smiled. "The three of you have a foundation in martial arts. Your foundation has been laid. I will teach you according to your talent. Li Ning, you are nicknamed 'Tongbi Divine Ape'. You have arms like an ape and a waist like a bee. Your hands are above your knees. You have the best swordsmanship. You can use all kinds of hidden weapons. I have a set of internal and external fists and palms, which can make up for your weakness of not being good at close combat and fighting bare-handed. "
After speaking, he displayed a set of fist techniques. His arms and legs were like dragons and snakes dancing in the air, exuding a powerful aura. Li Ning's eyesight was profound, and he could tell that this was a set of Monkey Form Fist Techniques. It was many times more profound than his own martial arts. Each and every one of his movements contained the force of a thousand catties.
Chen Ang practiced it twice and only stopped when he saw that Li Ning had memorized it. Zhou Chun and the other man wanted to turn their heads to avoid arousing suspicion, but they were also martial arts practitioners. After watching the beginning, they forgot to turn their heads and continued watching without blinking. It was only when Chen Ang stopped that they came to their senses. They immediately felt ashamed and did not dare to look at Li Ning directly.
Li Ning naturally did not blame his two sworn brothers, but he was not the one who had taught them martial arts. In terms of the rules of the pugilistic world, the two of them had committed the taboo of stealing someone's master. Seriously speaking, it was only right that Chen Ang would kill them now. Therefore, he could only lower his head and beg for mercy on their behalf.
Chen Ang shook his head and sighed, "Why do you have to act so bashful? Since I've accepted all of you as my in-name disciples, I will naturally treat all of you equally. There's no reason for me to teach all of you separately. It's just that my martial arts are not something that can be learned by just one of you. Furthermore, your aptitudes and foundations are different. Therefore, I've divided myself into three parts, allowing you to inherit the complete inheritance.
"If you finish learning what I've taught you, you can naturally exchange pointers with each other. I'll only be happy if you can learn all of my skills! But I'll say this first. If you don't even learn your own skills properly and are only greedy and distracted, then you'll have wasted my efforts. Don't tell others that you're my disciples, lest you embarrass yourselves. "
The three of them were filled with gratitude and shock as they clasped their fists and acknowledged.
Chen Ang continued, "That set of external martial arts fist technique just now is called 'Great Sage Chop'. It's very different from the fist theories of the current Jianghu. It emphasizes on following one's heart's strength and training one's muscles and bones. The last set of internal martial arts palm technique is called 'Great Strength Vajra Palm'. It goes from the outside to the inside, and it's complemented by a set of methods to circulate and train Qi. Listen to the incantation …"
Chen Ang explained in detail for an hour. He explained the fist theories of Shaolin Temple, the stance training of Internal Martial Arts, and even the parts of Buddhist fist techniques that were related to the philosophy of Buddhism as if they were his family treasures to the three of them. Among them, he talked about the Buddhist scriptures, the thoughts of the Zen Sect, and even the natural science of astronomy and geography, as well as modern biological knowledge such as muscles and bones. Li Ning and the other two were intoxicated as they listened. They admired his knowledge and ability so much that they prostrated themselves before him.
Li Ning had never thought that the principles of martial arts could be so clear and complicated. What he had learned in the first half of his life, he had only scratched the surface. It was only after listening to Chen Ang's explanation that he could be considered to have entered the door.
Zhou Chun and Yang Da were also extremely shocked. The previous doubts in their hearts were now thrown to the back of their minds. They admired Chen Ang wholeheartedly.
Only martial arts experts like them could understand the profound knowledge of martial arts behind these martial arts and Chen Ang's inconceivable accumulation of knowledge. Other swordsmen and masters of the Path of Immortals, even if they had flying swords, could make them respect them, but they could not compare to Chen Ang who had conquered them in martial arts and made them admire him wholeheartedly.
After Chen Ang finished teaching them the palm technique, he also taught Li Ning a hidden weapon technique, Tianluo's Cunning Way. In the end, he said, "In your hand is an internal heart technique that I carved with my supernatural powers. I have been well-versed in medicine, mathematics, Buddhism, and many other kinds of knowledge in my life. After mastering martial arts, I brought forth new ideas from the old and incorporated medicine, mathematics, and Daoism into martial arts. This is the foundation martial art of medicine and martial arts, Synopsis of the Golden Chamber."
"This martial art is also known as Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases. I borrowed the wonderful theory of Zhang Zhongjing's medical book from the Han dynasty to create it by incorporating the meridians, Yin and Yang, the Qi of the lungs, and many other medical principles into martial arts. The higher this martial art, the more proficient one is in medicine. Not only can it reverse the Yin and Yang of the human body with vital Qi, causing the enemy to fall ill, but it can also use vital Qi to heal the patient. This is the most wonderful use of my martial arts."
"Now that I'm giving it to you, I hope that you can use it to punish evil and help the people when you travel around the world, saving the suffering of the common people." Chen Ang said emotionally, "Other than that, this also contains a wish of mine. I hope you can help me fulfill it."
Li Ning said emotionally, "Please say it, Honored Master. I will definitely obey."
"When I created this martial art, I also wanted to help improve my medical skills and spread it to the world so that the people of the world can learn better medical skills. It's a pity that after I entered Daoism, I was far away from the world of mortals, so it was delayed. Now that you want to travel around the world, can you help me spread the medical book behind this martial art to the world and train some doctors who can learn and understand it? "Chen Ang asked.
Li Ning's expression was solemn. He nodded respectfully and said, "Disciple will not disappoint Honored Master. I will help the medical skills to spread far and wide."
