Wang Chongyang, the founder of the Quanzhen Sect, was the first in the world in martial arts, but the seven disciples he personally passed on were mediocre in martial arts.
Ma Yu encountered Mei Chaofeng and feared his head and tail, Wang Chuyi and Lingzhi Shangren were deeply injured by a hard slap, Hao Datong could not beat Huo Du nor was Xiaolongnü's opponent, Sun Bu'er was subdued by Yang Guo in one move, Tan Chuji was killed by Ouyang Feng's toad Gong, Liu Chuxuan was slapped as soon as he saw Huang Yaoshi's face, and even the strongest Qiu Zhiji, when he encountered second-rate masters such as Sha Tongtian and Peng Lianhu, he could not get the slightest bargain.
Could it be that Wang Chongyang deliberately hid his secrets and did not teach true kung fu? Not really.
Zhou Botong was taught by Wang Chongyang by hand, but nominally the generation of the master and disciple, but through his cultivation, the martial arts were infinitely close to the five masters. After the Wushi zi tong the Nine Yin True Scriptures, he was even better than Huang Yaoshi and others.
Guo Jing obtained Ma Yu's true transmission and learned the Quanzhen Sect's Inner Gong Mind Method and the Ultimate Light Skill of the Heavenly Ladder. From then on, learning any martial art is more effective with half the effort. Not only did he practice the basic skills taught by the Seven Monsters quite solidly, but he also learned Hong Qigong's housekeeping skills in the Eighteen Palms of the Dragon within a month, and Zhou Botong's Empty Ming Fist and left-right mutual combat were also difficult for him, and the Nine Yin True Scriptures were even more smooth to learn.
It can be seen from this that although Wang Chongyang did not teach the Seven Sons' most powerful Innate Martial Arts, the martial arts he passed down were still enough to reach the realm of the Five Perfections as long as they were carefully studied.
The failure of the Seven Sons to grow in martial arts was entirely caused by themselves.
Qiu said that he had three hobbies in his life, medicine, poetry and martial arts. The martial arts are still at the end, which shows that it is not very elaborate. He also likes to study Daozang, likes to fight grievances, likes to teach corrupt officials and bullies, and so many hobbies obviously divide him a lot of energy in martial arts training.
Wuyazi in the Eight Heavenly Dragons was defeated by his disciple Ding Chunqiu because he had too many hobbies so much that his martial arts were deserted, and even his eldest disciple, Mr. Congjie, Su Xinghe, was also addicted to the study of medical astrology, and his martial arts could not reach the first-class realm, and he could never avenge his master.
Qiu Zhiji obviously followed in their footsteps.
Ma Yu admired the chivalrous spirit of the Seven Monsters of Jiangnan, and at the same time adhered to the Taoist principle of self-denial and obedience, and did not want to be strong and competitive, so he ran to the desert to teach Guo Jing the most basic internal strength and mental method. Although his intentions were good, he also delayed his cultivation time for two years.
From the examples of Qiu Chuji and Ma Yu, it can be seen that although they are martial artists, they do not attach great importance to the most hard-core pass in the jianghu. Qiu Chuji has a wide range of hobbies, and Ma Yu values the reputation of the Quanzhen Sect even more.
In addition, Quanzhen Qizi's understanding of martial arts was not deep enough.
The Quanzhen Sect's Inner Strength Mind Method is very powerful, but it does not mean that you can sit back and enjoy it, let alone that you can rest on your laurels.
Hong Qigong's mastery was the Eighteen Palms of the Descending Dragon, but he was widely involved in his youth and had learned countless stunts. Casually rummaging through it, he passed on a set of flashy martial arts to Huang Rong. The cultivation of these martial arts is actually of great benefit to the master's final martial arts cultivation. Only by absorbing the strengths of all can we be unique. For example, Guo Jing, although he also beat the world's masters with a set of dragon palms, he did not forbid himself to learn other kung fu. It was after learning to fight with the empty palm and the left and right that he reached a higher realm.
However, the Seven Sons of Quanzhen always adhered to the martial arts handed down by Wang Chongyang, not only rarely invented new martial arts moves, but even the side door martial arts were never involved, lacking the ability to innovate and absorb the ability to open up, it can be said that they were starving with Jinshan.
The Seventh Son of Quanzhen also misunderstood Wang Chongyang's meaning.
Wang Chongyang saw that Qiu Wasji was interested in martial arts, and he didn't like him very much. Instead, he handed over the mantle to Ma Yu, who was indifferent and quiet.
Therefore, the disciples preferred to waste martial arts rather than delay the time of meditation and meditation.
In this way, naturally, the reputation of the Quanzhen Sect is getting higher and higher, and the martial arts of the Seven Sons are getting worse and worse.
In fact, Wang Chongyang only wanted his disciples to match the time reasonably, not to be dismissive of martial arts, he himself was the world's number one master. If you are not brave and diligent, how can you reach the top?
The Seventh Son's delay in practicing because he misunderstood the teacher's training showed that his understanding of martial arts was indeed relatively ordinary.
While Ouyang Feng was drawing on the Nine Yin True Scriptures, Zhou Botong invented the Empty Ming Palm Technique, and Huang Yaoshi created the Whirlwind Leaf Sweeping Legs, quanzhen Qizi was meditating and meditating, focusing on mundane affairs. People who are stronger than you study harder than you, and the gap between them is naturally getting farther and farther away.
