Chapter 2: The resentment of meeting fellow disciples again is reminiscent of the past

Of course not, the blood vessels of the human body are constantly changing. Throughout the day, there are twelve time periods, and each period has its own specific route for blood flow. When people walk, fight, jump, run, or dodge, the direction of the blood flow varies accordingly. Therefore, to perform acupoint striking, one must accurately identify the movement trajectory of the acupoints at these specific moments, strike them, and paralyze the flow of blood in the body to achieve the effect of immobilization. At this point, Zu Beiqiu displayed an expression of exhaustion.

Hehe, is that what you think? Zheng Dongting walked back and forth in front of the corpse of Mu Tianhou, finally fixing his fiery gaze once again on those wide-open eyes filled with anger

Hey, the human body size | Acupoint two hundred fifty-two, the changes over the twelve hours of a day are ... ...

Zheng Dongting leaned closer to him and whispered, "If you wish to dominate the martial world, it is possible..."

Zu Bei Qiu understood that everything was the doing of Mu Tian Hou, so he sought him out for a confrontation. Mu Tian Hou agreed to teach him martial arts on the condition that once he mastered this unique skill, he would immediately impart the technique of Yan Zi Fei Yun Zong to him, enabling him to venture into the martial world to find his wife, whose whereabouts were unknown to him.

How could this be? I am a person of integrity!" Zheng Dongting shouted loudly, raising his fists.

"It is indeed detestable; better to demolish ten temples than to destroy a single marriage. Is it still considered human to do such things?" Zheng Dongting said, striking his palm with his fist, filled with indignation. At this point, he couldn't help but rub his hands together and leaned closer to Zu Beiqiu, asking, "Is there anything special about the martial arts your master taught you?"

Oh?

This old beast, he has abducted my betrothed wife!" Zu Beiqiu said with a hint of hesitation, finally unable to contain his anger.

Oh, this masked man is truly detestable! Zubi Qiu clenched his fists tightly and waved them vigorously, saying, "It is precisely because of his master that I came to Yizhou..."

Zu Bei Qiu, frightened, clasped her hands over her chest and said tremulously: "Alright... alright, I promise you. But you must remember to teach me the lightness skill."

"Disciple, could it be that the master has also done something wrong to you?" Zheng Dongting asked softly, intimately wrapping his arm around Zu Beiqiu's shoulder

Ah? This is unacceptable! Zheng Dongting, filled with righteous indignation upon hearing this, shook his hand and pulled out a sharp knife from his bosom, saying, "Let me dismember this lecherous old thief who has harmed the wives and daughters."

Only the bodies of Zheng Dongting, Zu Beiqiu, and Mu Tianhou remained in the room. The voices of the people around gradually fell silent, while outside, the cries of the swallows rose and fell, further highlighting the tranquility within the room at that moment. Zheng Dongting gazed intently at his master's face, which was wide-eyed and unclosed in death.

Although Luo Qiutong was born into the Jianghu family of the Renyi Hall, the Luo family, her parents loved her excessively. In order to keep her away from the dangers of the Jianghu, they did not impart any martial arts skills to her at all

However, upon arriving at the ancestral residence, Lord Mu Tianhou immediately recognized the talent of Zu Beiqiu and insisted on taking him as a disciple to impart a unique martial art he had newly created. Zu Beiqiu, being exceptionally astute, quickly discerned that mastering this martial art would require at least ten to eight years, even with his innate talent. Newly married and deeply in love with his wife, he was unwilling to learn such tricks of the martial world, and thus directly declined Lord Mu Tianhou's request. Seeing this avenue blocked, Lord Mu Tianhou understood that the greatest obstacle to Zu Beiqiu's martial arts training was Luo Qiutong. He conducted discreet investigations and eventually discovered that Luo Qiutong hailed from a family of martial artists and had always yearned for a life of wandering in the martial world. However, as she was not the eldest child in her family, she was unable to inherit the family’s martial arts teachings.

Therefore, you not only need to learn acupoint techniques, but you must also study the martial arts of various schools and sects

"Why? Because the master in the martial world... is someone..." Zheng Dongting paused here, as if something had lodged in his throat. He gasped heavily and forced himself to speak softly, "Let me put it this way, he is not a likable person."

fifteen thousand one hundred twenty

Zu Bei Qiu's face alternated between pale and flushed, seemingly even more agitated than Zheng Dong Ting, which aroused Zheng Dong Ting's curiosity

"What? Unable to close your eyes in death?" Zheng Dongting spoke in a chillingly low voice. He slowly circled around the body of Duke Mu Tian, saying, "Do you feel wronged? Do you know who feels more wronged than you?" At this point, he gently closed his eyes and pressed his fist hard against his teeth, as if trying to suppress his emotions with all his might

"Is there something strange? Since he mentioned me to you, you should know how much I hate him!" Zheng Dongting said with righteous indignation

Since the master is a martial arts grandmaster, why would he need to evade anyone's pursuit?" Zu Beiqiu asked in a daze

"Tomorrow is not possible, I... I have something to attend to..." As Zubeiqiu spoke, a hint of excited flush appeared on her face

"Enough, enough, junior brother, you have already struck his vital points seven or eight times. Regulate your breath, do not let yourself be consumed by madness." Seeing Zu Beiqiu's frenzied appearance, Zheng Dongting was somewhat frightened and hurried over to support Zu Beiqiu's arm

"Alright, alright, I understand." Zheng Dongting leaned forward and put his arm around his shoulder, "Since we have reached a consensus, we will set off tomorrow"

Although it is not necessary to master them, one must accurately discern the essence of these techniques down to the finest detail. Now, whenever I see those martial arts manuals, I feel like vomiting

Seeing that he did not appear to be an ambitious person, Zheng Dongting let out a long sigh of relief, feeling an inexplicable sense of comfort in his heart. Ever since he learned of having a junior apprentice, he had been experiencing an unusual warmth. Over the past decade of wandering, no one in the martial world had looked upon him favorably, and the days of loneliness and despair seemed endless. Now that he had a junior apprentice, the two of them could stand united against their enemies, which was far better than being all alone. The thought of standing united against their enemies made him turn around, once again meeting the furious gaze of Mu Tianhou. The thought of standing united against their enemies made him turn around, once again meeting the furious gaze of Mu Tianhou. "The master's temper has always been exceptionally good. To put it nicely, he remains unfazed by praise or blame; to put it harshly, he treats you like a monkey for his amusement while you still bow to him. Who could possibly make him so angry? Such a person must be even more terrifying?" As Zheng Dongting pondered this, he initially thought he would feel a chill all over, but to his surprise, a wave of desolation surged within him. The memories of the ten years spent learning from Mu Tianhou felt like a wedge, and even as he struggled desperately, it still penetrated his mind, as if it were right before his eyes.

Both parts are present, but the section about "Famous in the Jianghu" is discussed more extensively. "Zu Bei Qiu" shrugged his shoulders

I want to rely on your talent to help me identify the murderer of my master said Zheng Dongting in a deep voice

"I will curse you, you old scoundrel, I will curse you, you self-important old beast, I will curse you, you harm-doer, I will curse you, you old trickster, I will curse you, I just want to curse you!" Zu Beiqiu, in a frenzy, circled his index fingers around the large hole on Mu Tianhou's body again and again.

Hehe, he let out a cold laugh filled with grief and indignation. "The renowned master, Mu Tianhou, has actually been hiding his name and living in the remote region of Yizhou for ten years. In today's world, who still remembers your unparalleled skills? Who still cares about the martial arts school you devoted your life to?"

"Acupoint Fixation Technique?" Zheng Dongting exclaimed in astonishment, "What a strange name." He eagerly flipped through the pages of the secret manual, reading with an insatiable thirst.

Of course, it was a martial arts master even more formidable than him. This matter can be traced back to over a decade ago, during an era when two factions in the martial world stood in opposition. At that time, there was the perfect martial arts school represented by the master, as well as the increasingly vocal free martial arts school. The free faction advocated for fluidity and boundless variations, emphasizing that techniques must be learned and applied dynamically. They believed that there are no fixed forms in weaponry, just as water has no constant shape. People must break free from the rigid patterns of fixed techniques and pursue new methods to defeat their enemies. Their most famous saying was: "One set of Shaolin boxing can be executed in ten thousand different ways by ten thousand people."

Their most famous saying was: "One set of Shaolin boxing can be executed in ten thousand different ways by ten thousand people." Whenever the two factions met, they would argue passionately, and their disputes could last for three days and nights without resolution. Of course, the reason it ultimately escalated to physical confrontations was due to deeper underlying causes. "Zheng Dongting sighed.

"Saint Hand Mu Tianhou? Is this the true title of our master? Is he well-known in the martial world?" Zǔ Bēi Qiū asked in a dull manner.

Really? The emotions of Zu Beiqiu suddenly surged, and he abruptly stood up, grabbing Zheng Dongting's arm. "When will you start teaching?"

Understanding the key point, Mu Tianhou took the initiative to approach Luo Qiutong, inadvertently teaching her his most prized lightness skill—Swallow Flying Cloud. After mastering the lightness skill, Luo Qiutong vanished the next day, leaving only a note for Zu Beiqiu, stating that her heart was tied to the martial world, and that she could not be bound by an ordinary person. She hoped Zu Beiqiu would forget her and marry someone else, with the possibility of meeting again in ten years.

She hoped Zu Beiqiu would forget her and marry someone else, with the possibility of meeting again in ten years.

In just a few months, I will have completed my studies, but it was at this moment that he was killed. How can you expect me not to hate?" Upon reaching this point, Zu Beiqiu could no longer contain himself and rushed back to the body of Mu Tianhou, fiercely stabbing several times at his Dan Zhong, Ming Men, and Bai Hui acupoints.

"Hmm? What do you mean by that?" Zheng Dongting, hearing this, was somewhat puzzled and quickly asked.

It is mentioned here that by following the pathways of the human body's blood circulation and striking the precise acupoints without error, one can block the entire meridian system of the body, causing the flesh and blood of the human body to turn to soil and stone. The extraordinary eight meridians, seventy-two major acupoints, and one hundred eighty minor acupoints listed here are well-known among practitioners in the martial arts community. Can it really be possible to achieve the aforementioned effects merely by striking these widely recognized acupoints? Zheng Dongting could not help but ask after reading a few pages.

Hehe, can't you stand the loneliness, Master? The king without a crown in the martial world, Mu Tianhou, can only retreat to the stagnant land of Yizhou, where even the feng shui remains motionless, struggling to survive while evading the pursuit of enemies. Zheng Dongting felt a surge of emotions

The beating left Zheng Dongting drenched in cold sweat, and he had to lean against the wall to barely steady himself. He glanced at Zu Beiqiu beside him, only to see him standing frozen in place, seemingly startled by his own sudden madness

"Wishing for his death is one thing, but when the master is dead, it is the disciple's duty to find the murderer. This is the rule of the martial world and, more importantly, a matter of personal integrity. This point must not be overlooked," Zheng Dongting said sternly.

I only want to bring back Qiutong. " Zu Bei Qiu seemed to deflate like a punctured ball, sitting back down in the armchair.

There is no need to elaborate on these matters. Later, there was a duel. A mysterious masked figure from the Free Style confronted us... renowned throughout the martial world... the master of... I will not go into the specific details; in any case, seven days later, the master coughed up blood and suffered a great defeat, fleeing in disgrace, and has since disappeared without a trace. Of course, now we know he is in Yizhou. Zheng Dongting spread his palm and pointed to the corpse lying neatly on the bed. Of course, now we know he is in Yizhou. Zheng Dongting spread his palm and pointed to the corpse lying neatly on the bed.

"What do you mean by beating a corpse? Have you ever beaten a corpse? I merely punched him a few times to vent my anger and express my frustration," Zheng Dongting exclaimed in astonishment.

Tomorrow ... ... Tomorrow marks the tenth anniversary of my wife's departure. She once told me that we would meet again if fate allows. I think perhaps she will return tomorrow

Ah, you also speak of conditions? What kind of master and what kind of disciple is this? Zu Bei Qiu's expression darkened, his hands withdrew into his sleeves, presenting a demeanor as if facing a formidable enemy

This is not a skill that an ordinary person can learn

"Once I have settled the master tomorrow, I can begin teaching you," Zheng Dongting said, crossing his arms. "Moreover, I can do even more; I can take you into the martial world to seek a wife, as long as you agree to one condition."

He said that once one masters this skill, by merely targeting specific points, one can freeze the blood vessels of the human body, rendering a person as immovable as wood or stone; even when struck by thunder or lightning, one remains steadfast. Zu Beiqiu took out a secret manual on acupoint sealing techniques from his bosom and handed it to Zheng Dongting, saying, "This is the book."

After marrying Luo Qiutong, Zu Beiqiu showered his new wife with affection in every possible way. Luo Qiutong had a passion for cleanliness, and Zu Beiqiu intensified this by strictly ordering the family to keep their surroundings spotless, ensuring that their food was always fresh and clean, and personally supervising the kitchen's cleaning and organization. Luo Qiutong loved painting, and Zu Beiqiu immediately sought out renowned masters to diligently practice his art. Due to his innate talent and keen observation, after studying under the famous painter Li Youdao from Yizhou, he surpassed his teachers within a year and gained fame in the art world. His painting "Tortoise and Crane for Longevity" was once on par with the renowned horse paintings by Cao Ba and Han Gan, collectively known as "Southern Tortoise and Northern Horse"

What? Zǔ Bēi Qiū widened his eyes, "Just now you were still whipping Master’s corpse, and now you want to avenge him? Why are your emotions fluctuating so greatly?"

If that were the case, it would be too simple. The variations of the human body are nearly infinite; walking, fighting, and other postures are merely the most basic movements. In fact, when a person performs the Shaolin Luohan Fist technique, there can be as many as thirty-six different blood circulation postures. If this individual is not proficient in Luohan Fist, they would be utterly incapable of executing the acupoint sealing technique.

If I were you, I wouldn't need him to drive my wife away; I would have already wanted to kill him. Zheng Dongting shrugged his shoulders and spoke frankly

I do not care for any of these things in the world; I only want my wife back!" Zubiqiu exclaimed loudly, "Speak, what are the conditions?"

Although he has caused me a lifetime of suffering, he did indeed go to great lengths to call upon me. In this world, there is not even half a person who is better to me than he is; it truly is a perplexing account

Indeed, for the sake of a set of nonexistent and worthless skills, I spent ten years just to master that damned lightness skill, hoping to win back my wife. Now all my efforts have been in vain; what use is there in merely having the ability to pressure points? To dominate the martial world? To be the number one in the world? For thousands of years, to unify the rivers and lakes?" Ancestor Bei Qiu let out a harsh snort and rushed back to the corpse of Mu Tianhou, forcefully poking at his abdominal pressure point several times.

Ten years ago, it was precisely when the ancestral family had just risen strongly in Yizhou, with business dealings in over six hundred prefectures across the ten circuits of the Tang Dynasty. At that time, Zu Beiqiu was just twenty years old, in the prime of his youth, and held the title of "Heavenly Calculator" in Yizhou. He was exceptionally gifted, possessing an extraordinary memory, remarkable mental calculation abilities, and an innate sensitivity to his surroundings. People said he had inherited the mathematical talent of his ancestor, Zu Gong Chongzhi, and was destined to achieve great success in the future. The wealthy merchant family, the Luo family from Jiangnan, recognized Zu Beiqiu's unique talents and decided to marry their most beautiful daughter, Luo Qiutong, to him, thus forming a powerful alliance between the Zu and Luo families in the business world.

But you clearly wish for him to die sooner!

Why

This matter dates back to ten years ago... Zhubeqiu took out a corner of a white handkerchief from his bosom, wiped it on the armchair in the residence of the Duke of Mutian, and then awkwardly sat down on it

Seeing the body of Duke Mu Tian lying on the ground, the frustration and agitation that he did not know how to handle gradually calmed down. Noticing that Zu Bei Qiu was still listlessly playing the role of a living dead person in the grandmaster's chair, he raised his eyebrows, leaned closer, and said in a low voice: "Junior brother, you need not worry; I have also learned lightness skills, and I will teach you."

Is it famous? Hey, let's try to establish a school and make a name for ourselves in the martial world, that sounds smoother. The Master of Heavenly Shepherd, is a proponent of the perfect school of thought that advocates for the idea that without rules, there can be no order. He emphasizes the importance of the flow and transition of techniques, stressing precision down to the millimeter in the execution of moves. In his perfect martial arts world, there is only one truly invincible skill, and that is the one and only.

Who knows that Zu Bei Qiu didn't even glance at him, but suddenly let out a sharp scream, swiftly climbing onto Mu Tian Hou, sitting down heavily, and then extending his chubby finger to jab fiercely at Mu Tian Hou.

"I thought you ... ... " Zu Bei Qiu scratched his head and said hesitantly

"Are you referring to the part about the named movements in the martial world or the part about precise strikes?" Zheng Dongting asked

Zheng Dongting watched with wide eyes, goosebumps rising all over his body, and hurriedly let go of his hand: "What is it that has you so agitated?"

Uh, probably, this is really too cumbersome

He slapped Mu Tianhou hard across the face: "The Tianshan Night Falls Star River Sword, truly a remarkable sword technique, thank you, Master!" Then he forcefully kicked Mu Tianhou in the stomach, "Shaolin Luohan Fuhu Fist, excellent fist technique, thank you, Master!" "Qingzhou Five Tigers Break the Door Blade!" "Xiao Men Tian Zhuan Qi Sha Spear!" Zheng Dongting's fists fell on Mu Tianhou like a rainstorm, "All of this is stolen from you, you shameless scoundrel, yet you claim these are your own creations. I spent ten years learning this, a full ten years! What did I gain from ten years of relentless practice? What did I achieve? Tianshan, Shaolin, Pengmen, and the Xiao family all want to ruin my martial arts. I had no choice but to swear to the heavens that I would never use these skills again. For ten years, I lived in the martial world like a stray dog, only able to rely on lightness skills and my family's bow and arrow to hunt down some insignificant rogues, barely surviving on the meager rewards. Tianshan, Shaolin, Pengmen, and the Xiao family all want to ruin my martial arts. I had no choice but to swear to the heavens that I would never use these skills again. For ten years, I lived in the martial world like a stray dog, only able to rely on lightness skills and my family's bow and arrow to hunt down some insignificant rogues, barely surviving on the meager rewards. Back in the day, I was once known as a child prodigy; I should have had a much brighter future, all of it ruined by you, all ruined by you! Why did you only die now? Why not die twenty years ago? Are you dying now with your eyes wide open? What about me? Have you ever thought of me? Back in the day, I was once known as a child prodigy; I should have had a much brighter future, all of it ruined by you, all ruined by you! Why did you only die now? Why not die twenty years ago? Are you dying now with your eyes wide open? What about me? Have you ever thought of me, that I too might die with my eyes wide open?

What is the reason

Ah, stop! Zubei Qiu quickly grabbed Zheng Dongting's hand that was holding the knife, saying, "He did not violate anyone's wife or daughter; he merely deceived my wife away!"

Other minor reasons need not be mentioned. The primary reason is that the master has become the representative figure of the Perfect Martial Arts School. This has made the Perfect Martial Arts School the target of widespread criticism

I! I—! He seemed to erupt as if he were on the verge of collapse, his voice piercing and mournful like a wailing ghost

Yes, yes, I was just about to say that, along with the distinct variations of walking, fighting, jumping, running, and dodging, there are enough changes to account for ... ...

"Do not consider yourself the most unfortunate person in the world. You should know that you are much luckier than I am; at least you have learned the martial arts created by your master." Upon hearing Zuo Beiqiu's words, Zheng Dongting immediately became furious

Three thousand and twenty-four

Oh, Zubi Qiu nodded expressionlessly, as if he was already quite familiar with such rhetoric. "So you are indeed my senior. He often says similar things to me."

The master said it is suitable for me
