The night was hazy.
Under the flickering candlelight, Teng Qingshan was sitting in front of his desk, holding a brush and drawing on a piece of paper. Beside him was the drawing paper of his master, Zhuge Yuan-hong.
"Qingshan, what are you doing?" Li Jun, who was wearing a coat, walked in and smiled.
"You go to sleep first, I'll be done in a while."
Teng Qing Shan also drew a set of "Tiger Form Fist Art" blueprint. Then, he simply left some words under each piece of the blueprint. It was either one or two simple sentences, or one or two lines of a song, explaining the main points of the move on the blueprint.
"Hmm? Qingshan, where are you? "Li Jun was surprised.
"I'm just writing secret manuals."
Teng Qingshan smiled and did not say anything. He continued writing from the first form of the Tiger Form Fist Style until he finished writing the last piece of paper. Then, he took out the stack of paper that his teacher, Zhuge Yuan-hong, left a description on the paper. However, this time, the description was much more detailed and serious.
If the description of the 《Tiger Form Fist Art》 was a simple one or two sentences or a song, then the description of the Tiger Form Fist Art was very simple.
In that case, every single move of the 《Tiger Form Fist Art》 had a large number of annotations. It was ten times more detailed than the previous manual.
"Qingshan, why did you write these two secret manuals differently? The first one is clearly much cruder?" Li Jun was even more confused.
Teng Qingshan turned around and smiled at her, not saying much.
*****
On the 20th of April, in Nanxing County City …
"Young Master Meng, where are we going to eat?"
"Let's go. It's the Spring Rain Restaurant up ahead."
Three foppish youths were leading their servants and guards as they swaggered down the street. The young man in the lead had red lips and white teeth. It was obvious that he came from a wealthy family. At this moment, he was also carrying a birdcage. Inside the birdcage was a small bird with emerald green feathers. Occasionally, it would chirp a few times.
Walking on the street, no one dared to provoke these three good-for-nothing youths. Just by looking at the group of guards and servants behind them, one could tell that their identities were not ordinary.
"Young Master Meng, please come in." Upon seeing them, the manager of the Spring Rain Restaurant welcomed them personally. "There's another private room upstairs."
"Yes." The youth surnamed Meng nodded and looked around the first floor. There were three religions and nine floors on the first floor. It was extremely lively. He smiled and said, "Shopkeeper, it's on the first floor. Let's sit on the first floor today. Second Brother, Third Brother, what do you think? "
"We'll listen to Young Master Meng."
The other two youths giggled and replied.
"Manager, serve the dishes as usual!" Meng's group quickly occupied three tables on the first floor. At this moment, the guests from all over the world were still chatting and laughing loudly on the first floor of the Spring Rain Restaurant. They couldn't care less about the Young Master. What kind of people had they not seen after traveling all over the world?
"Everyone! Do you know why Teng Qingshan, the youngest Emptiness Realm Expert since the creation of the Land of the Nine Prefectures, attained the Emptiness Realm at such a young age? "A loud voice resounded in the restaurant.
"Eh?" The youth surnamed Meng and the other two hedonistic sons turned to look.
"Hey, what is the Emptiness Realm?" Someone immediately shouted.
"Haha, you don't even know this?"
"You're ignorant, right? Above the Postliminary Realm is the Innate Realm. Above the Innate Realm is the Emptiness Realm! " Someone immediately shouted. Ever since the rise of the Heavenly God Palace, the Land of the Nine Prefectures was in chaos. Many Emptiness Realm Experts attacked the ordinary people.
Therefore, the Emptiness Realm was no longer a secret.
During peaceful times, many people did not know about the Emptiness Realm. However, when the Land of the Nine Prefectures was in chaos, most people knew about it.
"Tell me, how did Lord Teng Qingshan attain the Emptiness Realm at such a young age? What kind of treasure did he eat? "Immediately, many people shouted.
"Everyone, listen to me."
The elder with a goatee said proudly, "Ever since Emperor Yu was born, the Daoist Sect was created in the Land of the Nine Prefectures! After that, most of the sects practiced the Daoist Sect's cultivation method! However … the Martial Ancestor of the Mani Temple, Martial Ancestor Shiga, was also very talented. He created the Buddhist Sect's cultivation method, which is different from the Daoist Sect! "
"We all know about the Daoist and Buddhist Sects. Stop talking nonsense. Tell us, how did Lord Teng Qingshan attain the Emptiness Realm?" Someone couldn't help but shout.
"The Land of the Nine Prefectures has the Daoist and Buddhist Sects." The elder with a goatee stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Now, Lord Teng Qingshan has created the third branch — the branch of Internal Martial Art!"
"Internal Martial Art?"
"How can there be a branch of Internal Martial Art in the Daoist and Buddhist Sects?" Many people were suspicious. "Old man, don't brag here," someone immediately shouted.
The elder with a goatee glared and said, "I am not bragging! We are also in the territory of Nanxing County, which is not far from Jiangning County. I reckon that those who are well-informed should know that last year, the Gui Yuan Sect recruited a large number of youths and sent them to learn fist arts from Lord Teng Qingshan. Three months later, almost all of them were kicked out. Only a few of them still followed Lord Teng Qingshan! My nephew's son has been in there before. He heard that the fist art is called Internal Martial Art! "
"I know this. Last year, the Gui Yuan Sect recruited a large group of youths for Lord Teng Qingshan. At that time, everyone thought that Lord Teng Qingshan was Senior Jing Yi. When I found out, I sent my son over. Unexpectedly, the Gui Yuan Sect said that it was full. "Someone in the restaurant chimed in.
"Yes, it did happen," many people admitted.
The elder with a goatee smiled proudly and said, "Speaking of Internal Martial Art, it is not an ordinary cultivation method. There is no need to sit cross-legged and cultivate inner strength. Instead, it was another type of cultivation method! Once it is successfully cultivated, the speed of improvement will be very fast. The great disciple of Lord Teng Qingshan, Teng Shou, is also recorded in the books of the Wan Xiang Sect. He is a youth with the strength of an Innate Expert. Judging from his appearance, he was also very young. He became an Innate Expert because he cultivated Internal Martial Art. "
"Is Internal Martial Art so powerful?"
"Needless to say. Since the creation of the Land of the Nine Prefectures, have you seen anyone reach the Emptiness Realm at the age of 21? Even Emperor Yu and the Heavenly Emperor of the Qin Mountains couldn't reach that level. "
"He is only 21 years old. How old was he when he recruited his disciple? How many years did his disciple cultivate Internal Martial Art? Even his disciple reached the Innate Realm. Internal Martial Art is really powerful. "
The entire restaurant was filled with exclamations.
Ever since Teng Qingshan's name spread throughout the Land of the Nine Prefectures, people had been wondering why Teng Qingshan was so powerful. No matter how talented he was, there were many talented people in the Land of the Nine Prefectures. However, why was Teng Qingshan so powerful? Could it be that the Heavens really favored this person?
"So it is Internal Martial Art." Many people sighed.
"However, the requirements for cultivating Internal Martial Art are very strict." The elder with a goatee sighed and said, "In the past, many people were sent over, and almost all of them were sent back. Only a few people could succeed. "
"Internal Martial Art is such a powerful cultivation method. It would be strange if the aptitude requirements were not strict." Someone immediately shouted.
"Ah, this Internal Martial Art is so powerful. I will also send my grandson to try it. "
"Forget it. Lord Teng Qingshan had accepted a batch of disciples before, but now he doesn't accept any more. Do you think that everyone can learn the Internal Martial Arts? "
… …
Hearing these discussions, the young man with the surname Meng, who had been sitting in the corner, murmured, "Lord Teng Qingshan? His disciple is also an Innate Expert? Internal Martial Art? "He seemed to be thinking.
"Second Brother, Third Brother, that's all for today. I will go back first." The young man with the surname Meng didn't even eat. He immediately stood up and left with his servants and guards.
"Young Master Meng."
The other two foppish young men looked at each other in confusion.
*****
Just like a gust of wind, the words "Internal Martial Art" appeared in the whole of Yangzhou. The people who had been curious about how Teng Qingshan could cultivate so fast and what Teng Qingshan had been doing during the four years he had been missing suddenly understood. They all understood.
It turned out that —
The talented Teng Qingshan had actually created the cultivation method of the branch of Internal Martial Art, which was different from the Daoist Sect and the Buddhist Sect.
They also knew that the branch of Internal Martial Art was very magical. All of Teng Qingshan's disciples were Innate Experts. Moreover, it allowed Teng Qingshan to become the youngest Emptiness Realm Expert in history!
For a moment, many people wanted to be Teng Qingshan's disciple and learn the magical Internal Martial Art.
However —
Teng Qingshan refused to accept guests, and Teng Qingshan didn't accept any disciples.
… …
The legend of Internal Martial Art didn't only spread in Yangzhou. It also spread to other places in the Land of the Nine Prefectures. After all, this was the Land of the Nine Prefectures! In a world where the strong were respected, a genius who could cultivate faster than Emperor Yu, Heavenly Emperor Qin Ling, Martial Ancestor Shiga, and Poetic Sword God Li Taibai naturally attracted everyone's attention.
The branch of Internal Martial Art, which was different from the Daoist Sect and the Buddhist Sect, naturally attracted people's attention.
*****
In the Meng Residence of Nanxing County City:
"Is this the Three Postures?" The young man with the surname Meng was standing in the middle of the courtyard, practicing the Three Postures over and over again. "It's too simple. I just need to prepare and punch. Then I need to prepare and punch again … Just like this. What's the point of practicing like this? "
The young man with the surname Meng practiced for a long time and then gave up.
Ever since the day he heard people talking about the legend of Teng Qingshan and heard about the Internal Martial Art in the restaurant, Meng Lutong, had a great impact on him. He had been muddle-headed that day. Actually, he was tired of the life of a hedonistic young master. That day, he had been muddle-headed. Actually, he had been tired of the life of a hedonistic young master. He also desired hot blood!
He also desired to drink wine and eat meat! He wanted to be a brave man who roamed the Jianghu!
This time, he finally woke up.
He threw away the birdcage and left his gang of scoundrels. Then, he said to his father solemnly, "Father! I want to learn the Internal Martial Art. I want to become a true expert! " Back then, Teng Qingshan had dismissed over eight hundred youths. Unknowingly, the Three Postures had been spread out.
After all, the moves of the Three Postures were too simple and easy to spread. Therefore, Meng Lutong also obtained the Three Postures. However, it was only the superficial Three Postures. There was no breathing technique to control it.
"Lutong, Lutong." Suddenly, a voice rang out.
Meng Lutong turned his head and saw a fat, middle-aged man running over. The fat man waved a book and said, "Lutong, look at what I got for you."
"What?" Meng Lutong looked at the book in surprise.
"This is a secret manual that father spent a thousand silver taels to obtain. This is the secret technique of the Tiger Form Fist Art that was passed down in Teng Jia Village! "The fat, middle-aged man didn't care about the sweat on his face and presented the book to his son as if he was presenting a treasure.
Meng Lutong looked at the book carefully.
There were three big words on the book — Tiger Form Fist Art!
