No, it’s not just about centenarians.
"This... this is not the way to cultivate the spirit at all! Are you still only at the level of cultivating strength?" Lu Yanbei was shocked and doubtful.
"That's right." Qiao Mu stood with his hands behind his back and said slowly:
"This is the Kyushu martial arts forty years from now, the so-called modern method."
He turned his head and looked at the soldiers and civilians of the isolated city who were surrounding the martial arts arena in circles.
"The body ages but the blood and qi remain strong. This is the most advanced martial arts in Kyushu today. It is the "Sumeru Mountain King Sutra" that everyone can practice."
"If your fist is not strong, how can you defeat the immortal?"
His voice was full of energy, not at all like that of a centenarian. His voice echoed in the military camp, resounding all around.
Lu Yanbei looked at this imposing old man, feeling mixed emotions in his heart, three parts of loss, three parts of confusion, and four parts of joy from the bottom of his heart.
What made him feel disappointed and confused was that he lost the competition, and it was a crushing defeat.
The joy is... Qiao Mu really has accumulated internal energy for a hundred years, is he really a 109-year-old man? The "Sumeru Mountain King Sutra" is not fake
Does this mean that there is a glimmer of hope for Kyushu martial arts, which has been shrouded in long darkness
In this battle, Lu Yanbei, a former martial arts celebrity, suffered a crushing defeat.
This is a clash between ancient and modern martial arts. It reflects the backwardness of an old man like him, but it also represents the progress of those who come after him!
"I finally understand." Lu Yanbei smiled bitterly.
"The one who has been acting like me is not Qiao Shuangsen in front of me. He is telling the truth."
Lu Yanbei's gaze fell on the confused face of Captain Hai Siyuan in a corner of the crowd.
"Captain Hai, how come you, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, are acting?"
Chapter 186 He Changed the Lonely City (4k
On the military camp’s reviewing platform.
Qiao Mu gave a passionate speech, and after the competition, he began to recite the "Sumeru King Sutra" in public.
He wanted to sow the seeds of martial arts in this isolated city.
While preaching, his eyes unconsciously swept across the confused-looking Captain Hai Siyuanhai in the audience.
This "Sumeru Mountain King Sutra" was obtained from Hai Wuya. Now it is passed on to the soldiers and civilians of the isolated city including Hai Siyuan, which can be regarded as returning the favor.
Hai Wuya's "Sumeru Mountain King Sutra" has been practiced and deduced by Qiao Mu, and it will not lead to insanity or death, so Qiao Mu naturally wants to promote it.
He thought that if Hai Wuya were here, he would probably make the same decision as him. After all, the ultimate goal of the "Sumeru Mountain King Sutra" is to become the "Humanity Sutra".
Promoting the "Sumeru Mountain King Sutra", which is still imperfect at the moment, among the military and civilians of the isolated city will naturally help to further develop and improve this martial arts technique.
So, he transformed himself into a martial arts motivator and talked about martial arts training on the stage.
"The Xumi Mountain King Sutra is a martial arts technique that anyone can practice. It has almost no requirements for martial arts qualifications. Even a stupid person can practice it."
“As long as you work hard enough and persevere day after day, even a stupid person can reach a higher peak.”
“Young man, work hard. Sweat will not deceive you. Time will give you the answer.”
"There is no shortcut to martial arts training. It is destined to be a long, tortuous and arduous road, but sweat can prove our efforts."
"Under the heavy pressure from the aliens, the only way to fight back is to practice martial arts and strengthen your body."
"I have practiced martial arts for nearly a hundred years, from the coldest days of winter to the hottest days of summer, from a young boy to a gray-haired old man, only then have I acquired the skills of a hundred years today." Qiao Mu recalled his youthful years with a look of emotion in his eyes:
"In fact, practicing martial arts is not that difficult."
“As long as you are dedicated enough and serious enough, a hundred years will pass in the blink of an eye.”
How could the soldiers and civilians who had been trapped in an isolated city for forty years have ever been bombarded with such chicken soup
Besides, Qiao Mu was not just giving away chicken soup or just talking nonsense. He had just demonstrated the extraordinary power of "Sumeru Mountain King Sutra" in front of everyone's attention.
This is real talent and even Lu Yanbei who was defeated just now has to admit this.
In this lonely city, there were once 100,000 elite warriors of Dayan led by the former Martial Saint. Even after forty years of hard fighting, there is still no shortage of warriors with broad vision.
What Captain Hai said... There is no officer on the battlefield who is higher in rank and stronger than him.
However, there are still a few elderly veterans in the city who can no longer go to the battlefield. They are unable to fight either because of physical disabilities or because of old age.
Although he is unable to kill the enemy, he still has vision and foresight.
They had already seen Qiao Mu's true strength and extraordinaryness, and were naturally ignited by him.
"If this technique can really make people age without weakening, then do we still have a chance to return to the battlefield?"
"We are already old, our vitality is weak, and I think our time is almost up. This is a natural law that even high-level warriors cannot escape..."
"But any martial arts technique can be practiced by people with high aptitude and achieve twice the result with half the effort... Qiao Shuangsen is older than me, and if he can practice it, why can't I practice it with my aptitude?"
"We are the elite of the Great Yan in the past, regarded by Jiuzhou as the hope to fight against the aliens... Even if we are defeated miserably, we are not comparable to ordinary soldiers."
Many veterans murmured to themselves.
The military generals and warriors who were once young and strong naturally refused to accept their old age and were unwilling to admit that they were old and weak.
They still have the will to resist in their hearts, but they are powerless.
But the "Sumeru Mountain King Sutra" mentioned by Qiao Mu gave them hope.
So countless old and young gathered around the stage to listen to Qiao Mu talk about the "Sumeru Mountain King Sutra" and chicken soup.
"Grandpa Qiao, you have been practicing martial arts for nearly a hundred years. Are you tired or suffering?" A young child asked in a low voice with starry eyes.
"Tired, of course I'm tired." Qiao Mu said seriously:
"But in the current Jiuzhou, how many people envy the ability to practice superior martial arts? If we don't work hard now, we will be ridden on by the aliens."
"Go, go, go, practice to death, and don't stop until you can't open your eyes every day!"
"When I was young, I had already made up my mind to risk my life. It's better to die than to kneel down and die in front of aliens. I've had enough of the days when aliens are in power and ride on the heads of the people of Jiuzhou!"
"Grandpa Qiao, Grandpa Qiao, you work so hard, how many hours a day do you practice martial arts?" the child asked again.
Qiao Mu was speechless for a moment, and after a long while he said:
"Practicing martial arts has become a part of my life. It has become part of my life. So it is difficult to tell how many hours a day I spend practicing martial arts."
"If you want to ask, I can only say that practicing martial arts all the time means practicing martial arts all the time."
"Grandpa Qiao is so awesome..." The children suddenly realized, and their eyes were full of admiration.
The chicken soup is fake.
But the truth is true.
This was also part of Qiao Mu's lie. While bragging, he tried to guide the soldiers and civilians of the isolated city to practice the "Sumeru Mountain King Sutra".
The practice of "Sumeru King Sutra" does not emphasize aptitude, but only emphasizes perseverance.
Even Hai Wuya, who had been trapped in the Heavenly Prison for thirty years, could rely on this technique to enjoy a second spring in his old age.
The soldiers and civilians in this isolated city are constantly facing the test of life and death, and practicing martial arts is their only means of resistance. Under such heavy pressure, practicing martial arts is no longer a question of perseverance, but a question of survival.
.
Lu Yanbei stood at the back of the crowd, looking at Qiao Mu who was preaching passionately on the podium, and a strange feeling arose in his heart.
This old man named Qiao has single-handedly changed the style of painting in Lonely City.
In his experience, he had never seen this kind of style of feeding people with chicken soup for the dead... But this was also a good thing.
Lu Yanbei's gaze fell on several veterans who were older than him under the reviewing stand, and his eyes softened a little.
The greatest change that the old man named Qiao Shuangsen has brought to this isolated city is to enable the soldiers and civilians in the city to regain their fighting spirit and face death head-on.
He turned around and walked back towards Hai Siyuan.
He had a lot of questions in his mind, such as why Hai Siyuan wanted to play him, and what exactly was the so-called Immortal-killing Army...
after all.
Since the "Sumeru Mountain King Sutra" can be true, why can't the expedition against the immortal army be true as well
Unconsciously.
Even Lu Yanbei felt a glimmer of hope in his heart.
.
When Hai Siyuan was looking at the crowd blankly, he noticed that someone next to him was staring at him silently with a deep look in his eyes.
Turning around, he saw that it was Lu Yanbei who had just been defeated.
"Captain Hai, you have great acting skills. You deliberately hid it from me. Are you really trying to make fun of me?" Lu Yanbei was quite indignant.
"What acting skills? Mr. Lu's acting skills?" Captain Hai didn't understand and thought that Lu Yanbei wanted to discuss his own acting skills, so he gave a thumbs up and praised him decisively:
"Mr. Lu's acting skills are really amazing. Even I couldn't spot the flaws."
"Especially when he was defeated at the end, the look in Elder Lu's eyes when he looked at Senior Qiao Shuangsen was a complex expression of three parts disappointment, three parts bewilderment, and four parts joy. It's really hard to act that out if you're not a person with a lot of experience."
Lu Yanbei:
Why don't you expose someone's shortcomings when you insult them, and yet you are being sarcastic to me
"Captain Hai, your words are meaningless. It's ok to pretend to be confused, but you are mocking me like this?" Lu Yanbei was really a little angry:
"I think you have great acting skills. You act so foolishly and naturally."
"Why are you pretending to be confused?" Captain Hai still looked confused.
"I won't argue with you about this and will just get straight to the point. Since the "Sumeru Mountain King Sutra" is true, is there really an army fighting against immortals outside this desert?" Lu Yanbei's eyes sparkled.
"What? The Mount Sumeru Sutra is true?" Hai Siyuan was shocked.
The two old men stared at each other for a long time before they figured out what had happened.
"The attack on the Immortal Army is fake, but the progress of Jiuzhou's martial arts is real, and the "Sumeru Mountain King Sutra" is also real?"
The truth laid before the two men made them feel even more that Qiao Mu was an extraordinary person.
Hai Siyuan pondered for a moment, then turned around and grabbed the storyteller Qianliyan, wanting to ask about Qiao Mu's background.
"Storyteller from Tingchao Tower, didn't you travel across the desert with Qiao Shuangsen? Tell us about Qiao Shuangsen, what makes him extraordinary?" Hai Siyuan asked.
"Mr. Qiao Shuangsen is truly extraordinary, but I only met him by chance and don't know his background." Clairvoyant pondered for a moment and said:
"From my perspective... Qiao Shuangsen has already mastered the wave-like power of the Changsheng Fist to the level of triple waves."
"In the huge Heyang Qiao family, there was only one Qiao family leader who was able to practice the triple wave. From this point of view, Qiao Shuangsen has made great achievements in the art of martial arts. With this skill, he can enter the top 30 of the world martial arts skill list."
"Considering that the Wave Power is known to be difficult to practice, if he practiced a martial art that is easier to practice, his ranking should be higher."
Lu Yanbei, the wooden sword master, is also a famous martial arts master ranked 30th on the skills list, but he was unable to display his martial arts at all in the fight just now.
Before, he relied on pure speed to evade attacks, but later he relied on centuries of skills, plus super-limited martial arts, to overwhelm others.
"But speaking of it, Mr. Qiao Shuangsen uses guns, right? He has mastered the military spear technique and is also very good at light work..." As Clairvoyant spoke, he also felt it was a bit weird.
The Skills List is a list of martial arts skills.
In his opinion, Qiao Shuangsen's longest board is undoubtedly the Changsheng Fist Dielang Jin of boxing, and this move is enough to rank 30th on the skill list.
But if you think about it carefully, this old man is practicing more than just boxing
Before Qiao Shuangsen displayed all his martial arts, no matter how sharp his eyesight was, it would be difficult to judge the extent of his martial arts.
"The one who finally defeated Lu Yanbei relied on his profound skills and his strength that far exceeded the limit of the fourth rank." Clairvoyance said:
"Compared to his martial arts skills, his internal energy is truly astonishing."
Even the knowledgeable Tingchaolou Clairvoyance was filled with surprise at this moment.
"After a hundred years of accumulation, his internal energy is extremely pure. With the amount of his internal energy, it is enough to rank in the top ten on Tingchao Tower's energy list." Qianliyan said seriously.
"Top ten? Only top ten? This is a hundred years of hard work!" Hai Siyuan was surprised:
"Could it be that after forty years, the warriors of the Nine Provinces in the outside world have become so strong that even a hundred years of martial arts can only be ranked in the top ten? I thought it could be ranked in the top three."
Hai Siyuan was a sixth-rank captain, and this sixth-rank official position was actually his military rank forty years ago.
After forty years of being trapped in an isolated city, official rank has no meaning anymore.
