Chapter 8: Fighting Tong Yuan

Tong Yuan was from Xiangyang, Jingzhou, and a famous martial arts master in the Three Kingdoms era. He has extraordinary achievements in shooting skills.

Tong Yuan had three disciples, one was Zhang Xiu, who dominated Wancheng at that time, and the other was Zhang Ren, the governor of Xichuan. Both of them learned the spear of the hundred birds and phoenixes. Zhang Xiu was powerful in the northwest, and Zhang Ren was the most powerful in Shu, and all of them were Tong Yuan's teachings. Tong Yuan's third disciple was Zhao Yun in Changshan. It can be said that Tong Yuan's disciples were better than one.

Although Tong Yuan was from Jingzhou, his reputation was gained in the north. At that time, Tong Yuan married the daughter of the Yan family, a large Hebei clan. In terms of generations, Tong Yuan was still Yan Liang's uncle. Later, Yuan Shao took over Hebei and occupied the four prefectures of You, Ji and Qing. He once wanted to invite Tong Yuan to become an official, but Tong Yuan did not agree.

When Tong Yuan was young, he had a good relationship with Li Yan of Bingzhou. Once, the Xirong crossed the Hetao area and attacked Bingzhou. Li Yan couldn't resist it, so he invited Tong Yuan to help. Tong Yuan broke into the Western Rong army alone and shot the Xirong and stabbed the commander of the Western Rong army to death. From then on, Tong Yuan was so powerful that the Western Rong was afraid of Tong Yuan's reputation and did not dare to attack Bingzhou for decades.

Regarding Tong Yuan, A Dou mainly learned some information from Zhao Yun. In Zhao Yun's mouth, he naturally portrayed his teacher in a superb way, with the sky and the earth. But A Dou has always disagreed. A Dou has seen the martial arts of Zhao Yun and Zhang Ren. Zhao Yun's martial arts are very good, but Zhang Ren and Zhao Yun are not satisfactory compared to Zhao Yun. Among the five tiger generals, Wei Yan, Guan Ping and others, and any one of them can kill Zhang Ren. In A Dou's opinion, Zhang Ren's martial arts are still inferior to Ma Dai. Zhang Ren is also a disciple of Tong Yuan, so A Dou believes that Tong Yuan's strength should be similar to Zhao Yun.

Now that A Dou saw the real person, he finally knew that Zhao Yun said it was right at the beginning. Tong Yuan's ability was definitely far above Zhao Yun. It seems that Zhang Ren only learned 30% of Tong Yuan's ability.

Tong Yuan didn't seem to like talking when eating. A large piece of wild boar meat was eaten by Tong Yuan in three bites. Then Tong Yuan stretched out his hand, tearing off a large piece of meat from the pig's legs and stuffed it directly into his mouth. Tong Yuan's eating habits made him look at him and was stunned. A Dou had never seen a centenarian who could eat so happily.

Tong Yuan's appetite was very large. At least in Adou's opinion, Tong Yuan ate more than himself. In a blink of an eye, Tong Yuan actually ate a whole pig's leg, and then looked at the wild boar's corpse on the ground with unsatisfactory desire. Then Tong Yuan stretched out his hand, without cutting it with a knife, and tore off a large piece of meat from the wild boar and put it on the volcano and roasted it.

The old and the young are all very people, and their appetite is much larger than that of ordinary people. The two of them ate for more than two hours before A Dou patted their stomachs and felt full. At this time, Tong Yuan also stood up and said in a nagging voice: "Young man, don't eat too much, just like an old man, just eat 80% full!"

After A Dou's eyes, Tong Yuan ate more than himself, so he was only 80% full.

Tong Yuan let out a sigh of relief, sat back on the ground, and at the same time he picked up a small branch from the ground casually and said, "Young man, I am also good at swordsmanship, why don't you accompany me to exercise my muscles and bones?"

After hearing Tong Yuan's words, a glimmer flashed in A Dou's eyes. In fact, A Dou had long wanted to compete with Tong Yuan, but he was a senior and just invited him to eat pork. A Dou was embarrassed to challenge him. Now that Tong Yuan proposed it himself, it would be better.

There will always be a touch of spiritual communication between masters. Martial arts have a way to deal with martial arts, that is, to make friends through martial arts. If two people with similar martial arts walk together, they will inevitably compete. Especially when they reach the state of A Dou, there are too few people in the world who can fight against him. The so-called masters are so lonely. Now they have finally met a master of the same level. Of course, A Dou is very eager to compete.

So Adou also picked up a branch, sat opposite Tong Yuan, and said, "Please give me some advice."

Speaking of which, Tong Yuan's swordsmanship is good, which can be seen from Zhao Yun. It is said that Zhao Yun's swordsmanship is good, but in fact, Zhao Yun's swordsmanship is not worse than that of gunsmanship. During the Changbanpo, Zhao Yun killed more than 50 generals of Cao's army, and most of them were swords. So now when A Dou faces Tong Yuan, he does not dare to be careless at all.

However, in comparison, A Dou has an advantage. It is said that knowing yourself and your enemy will win every battle. Although A Dou has never fought with Tong Yuan, A Dou has seen Zhao Yun practice martial arts. Tong Yuan is Zhao Yun's teacher. Both of them should have the same martial arts skills. Of course, Tong Yuan's martial arts attainments are much higher than Zhao Yun.

Tong Yuan crossed the branch and showed a defensive posture. Tong Yuan was a senior, so he naturally would not attack a junior first. Moreover, Tong Yuan also planned to let Adou move three moves first to show his style as a senior.

In Tong Yuan's eyes, A Dou is a master, but a young man who is only fifteen or sixteen years old. Even if he has extraordinary understanding and extraordinary understanding in martial arts, his experience in facing the enemy will definitely not work. The teacher can teach this move, and the teacher can also talk about it if he doesn't understand it, but the experience in facing the enemy is not taught to his disciples. Therefore, Tong Yuan's view is that A Dou's experience in facing the enemy must not be comparable to himself. At this time, Tong Yuan was ready. After three moves, the identity of his predecessor said, "Let you get three moves."

A Dou's previous life and this life are not as old as Tong Yuan. Even though A Dou was the best in the world in his previous life, his experience in facing the enemy is not as big as Tong Yuan. However, it is not as big as Tong Yuan imagined. On the contrary, the experience of the two people facing the enemy is almost negligible.

This is like a driver. An experienced driver who has been driving for forty years is much more experienced than a person who has just obtained a driver's license. However, compared with a driver who has been driving for forty years, the gap between the two people when driving is almost negligible.

A Dou thrust the branch and stabbed Tong Yuan. Of course, A Dou did not do his best in this move, but mostly temptation. Tong Yuan also saw that A Dou was just a tentative attack, and he blocked the branch in A Dou's hand with a random wave.

I saw A Dou's branches tremble and stabbed Tong Yuan again. However, this time, A Dou used 80% of his strength and added a trace of dark power. If Tong Yuan still used branches like he had just used them, the branches would definitely be broken.

However, Tong Yuan's eyesight was not ordinary. Tong Yuan could see the root of A Dou's move at a glance. This time, Tong Yuan's sword took a detour and directly pointed to the middle part of A Dou's branch, breaking A Dou's move.

Although A Dou's move was broken, A Dou was not in a hurry. With just two moves, A Dou tried it out. Tong Yuan's martial arts was indeed the same as Zhao Yun. This is undoubtedly good news for A Dou. Tong Yuan and Zhao Yun's sword skills are exactly the same, and A Dou has some idea.

Tong Yuan and Zhao Yun's swordsmanship are the same, so Adou had a countermeasure in his mind, but at this time, Tong Yuan had no idea about Adou's swordsmanship. Experts fight, and a little deviation can determine the outcome, so just this difference, Adou has a big enough advantage.

A Dou suddenly changed his move, and his sword move became even more fierce. The branches in A Dou's hand suddenly turned into a rainbow and rushed straight to Tong Yuan's face. A Dou's sword came quickly and ruthlessly, completely different from the temptation just now.

Tong Yuan is indeed an experienced warrior. The branches in Tong Yuan's hand suddenly accelerated at this moment, blocking A Dou's move. However, because this move changed too quickly, Tong Yuan's move was somewhat hasty.

A Dou's performance made Tong Yuan feel a little surprised. The move just now was extremely sharp. If Tong Yuan hadn't reacted quickly, he might not be able to stop this move. It seems that he would never be careless when facing the young man in front of him. If he accidentally lost, then he would not be able to hold on to his face.

However, just three moves were all A Dou's attack, and Tong Yuan was on the defensive. Tong Yuan believed that as long as he attacked, the shortcomings of the boy's lack of experience would be exposed immediately.

At this moment, A Dou drew a circle in the branch in his hand. At this time, A Dou changed his sharp sword move and used Tai Chi sword technique. Tong Yuan's counterattack also came.

During the battle just now, A Dou has always used some sharp sword moves, so Tong Yuan thought that this was A Dou's characteristic, but Tong Yuan didn't know that A Dou was best at Tai Chi swordsmanship.

The Tai Chi Sword was completely different from the sharp sword technique that A Dou just used. When Tong Yuan hit him with this move, he immediately realized something was wrong. In Tong Yuan's opinion, the move that A Dou blocked seemed to be half a beat slower. However, it was only half a beat slower, but it was just blocking Tong Yuan's offensive.

Coincidentally? Tong Yuan's heart moved slightly, and the next move became faster. A Dou's sword move still seemed very slow, but it just blocked Tong Yuan.

It's not a coincidence! It's definitely not a coincidence! At this time, Tong Yuan had already confirmed in his heart that Adou's seemingly slow move just now was definitely not that Adou didn't react. Suddenly, Tong Yuan realized that the power of his two attacks just now was absolutely impossible for ordinary people to stop him. But at the moment when the branches were touching, his power seemed to be absorbed by something. In this Adou's seemingly slow move, there was a strange feeling.

Tong Yuan had never encountered such strange martial arts, and Tong Yuan did not know anything about Tai Chi swordsmanship. When facing an unknown martial art, Tong Yuan was not panicked. At this time, Tong Yuan's mind was spinning rapidly, and Keith thought about how to crack it.

However, Tong Yuan had too little information about Tai Chi swordsmanship in his hands, and it was completely zero. No matter how good Tong Yuan's martial arts skills were, it was impossible for him to fully understand Tai Chi swordsmanship within just two moves and come up with a way to crack them.

Tong Yuan also knew that just these two moves, he could not find the opponent's flaws, but since he couldn't find them, Tong Yuan simply stopped looking for them. Tong Yuan knew one truth deeply: only fast is not broken in the world, his marksmanship occupied the word "fast", so Tong Yuan decided to defeat the enemy with fast.

Tai Chi swordsmanship is the unique skill of Wudang. After thousands of trials and countless tests, how could it be easily broken? Tong Yuan's speed was just right in the trap of A Dou. If Tong Yuan fought steadily at this time, even if it was possible to win for a while, it would be able to maintain a stalemate. Unfortunately, Tong Yuan was too impatient.

In Tong Yuan's opinion, if he fights a junior for hundreds of rounds, he will be too shameful, so Tong Yuan will think about breaking the enemy as soon as possible. And the more anxious he is to deal with Tai Chi swordsmanship, the more likely he is to fall into the trap and be caught in the flaws.

I saw Tongyuan's branches tremble, and the speed suddenly increased to the extreme. The sound of breaking through the air came, and Adou could even feel the earth-shaking changes in the flow of the air around the branches.

"So fast!" Adou couldn't help but exclaim in his heart. He didn't expect that people of Tong Yuan's age could still have such explosive power!

However, for A Dou, fast speed means that the opponent uses a lot of power, and leveraging force to hit the force is what Tai Chi sword technique is good at. Tong Yuan stabbed this sword quickly, but at the moment when the branches intersected, 80% of the force was borrowed by A Dou, and then A Dou counterattacked, and this 80% of the force, plus A Dou's own strength, headed straight to Tong Yuan.

"Bang!" A muffled sound came, and the two branches intersected and made a sound like a cannon. Tong Yuan's body shook. A Dou's attack contained the power of Tong Yuan just now, and its power was naturally extraordinary. Tong Yuan did not expect that A Dou's attack would suddenly become so great.

The bark of the two branches scattered onto the ground, but the branches were intact. Then a gust of wind blew, and the bark that fell from the Ado branch turned into pieces under the wind, while the bark that fell from the Tongyuan branch turned into countless powder under the wind.

Both of them took the move at the same time. At this time, both of them knew that the winner had been decided and Tong Yuan lost.

Tong Yuan looked at the debris of the bark on the ground incredible, his mind full of the scene when the branches just intersected. Tong Yuan could not understand why such a thing happened and why he failed.

After a long time, Tong Yuan suddenly spoke, "It seems that I am indeed old! I am really old... What kind of sword technique are you using?"

"Tai Chi." A Dou answered.

Tong Yuan nodded in confusion. It was obvious that Tong Yuan had never heard of Tai Chi swordsmanship.

The old and the young began to talk, discussing their own opinions on martial arts, and from time to time they argued about some things. At this time, the two seemed to have forgotten the time, and sat here until dawn the next day.

A Dou has always been very interested in ancient martial arts and still has many doubts about ancient martial arts, but he cannot find a master-level figure in ancient martial arts to answer for himself. Now he finally encountered a martial arts master who answered his own questions, and A Dou would naturally ask all the questions.

Similarly, A Dou's martial arts was a martial arts of more than ten centuries later. Many things seemed to be unheard of in Tong Yuan's opinion. Many new theories made Tong Yuan suddenly understand, and some of them could not understand them at all. As they were talking, Tong Yuan became more and more impressed by the master behind A Dou.

"My friend, I'm going to a place, how about going with me?" After that night, Tong Yuan's name for A Dou also changed.

"Where?" A Dou asked.
