First, Qiao Feng's strength is by no means inferior to Xuzhu and Duan Yu.
At the end of the Tianlong story, Qiao Feng and his two brothers stood at Yanmen Pass, preventing the Liao Emperor Yelu Hongji from attacking the Great Song Dynasty south.
During this time, Xuzhu Duan Yu successfully captured Emperor Liao.
At that time, Qiao Feng had something important to tell Emperor Liao alone, so he did not hesitate to take Emperor Liao from Xuzhu Duan Yu's hands.
Xiao Feng quickly let out two whirring times with his palms, and then attacked the two (Xuzhu and Duan Yu). The two of them rolled in the air several times, but they didn't stop in the slightest. Both of them were shocked, seeing that the palm power suddenly attacked, they had to raise their palms to block the shelf, bang twice, the four palms collided, the palm wind was agitated, Xiao Feng rushed forward, and had already seized the opportunity to pull Yelu Hongji over.
Excerpt from the fiftieth chapter of "Dragon Babu".
Qiao Feng successfully captured the Liao Emperor from Xuzhu and Duan Yu, which was enough to prove that Qiao Feng was not inferior to Xuzhu and Duan Yu in terms of strength.
On this topic, there is a question: Xu Zhu and Duan Yu have mastered the Northern Spiritual Skill because of some adventures, and have absorbed the internal strength of many martial arts masters. This allows both of them to have more than a hundred years of internal strength. But Qiao Feng didn't have such an adventure, and he was only in his thirties. So, if there is no adventure, how can the young Qiao Feng be comparable to Xuzhu and Duan Yu, who have hundreds of years of internal strength?
As we all know, the overall ability of a top master is determined by the level of his internal strength. Therefore, Qiao Feng's overall strength is not inferior to Xuzhu Duanyu, mainly because his internal strength is not inferior to Xuzhu Duanyu.
So, what is the internal strength that Qiao Feng has cultivated?
Second, whether the internal strength cultivated by Qiao Feng belongs to the category of Yijin Jing.
All the martial arts that Qiao Feng mastered were taught to him by his **, so his internal cultivation was also absorbed from his **.
Qiao Feng's two ** are Wang Jiantong, the former gang leader of the Beggar Gang, and Master Xuanku, who is the Shaolin faction.
First of all, let's focus on Wang Jiantong's martial arts. Thirty years ago, during the battle at Yanmen Pass, Wang Jiantong was hit by Qiao Feng's father, Xiao Yuanshan, causing him to be unable to move his body and become unable to express his words.
The Wang gang leader was never able to move or speak.
Excerpt from the sixteenth chapter of "Dragon Babu".
Wang Jiantong's ability is obviously inferior to Xiao Yuanshan, Xiao Yuanshan and Qiao Feng's ability are almost the same, so Wang Jiantong's ability is far inferior to Qiao Feng.
Here, many people may have questions: Aren't Wang Jiantong and Qiao Feng both good at descending the dragon and eighteen palms?Why is Wang Jiantong's strength so much worse than Qiao Feng?
In fact, Wang Jiantong's level of internal strength is relatively average, so the power of the eighteen palms of dragon descent that he used ordinary internal strength is also quite average.
Although Wang Jiantong was Qiao Feng's mentor and had taught Qiao Feng to descend the dragon with eighteen palms, Qiao Feng's profound internal skills were not learned from Wang Jiantong, but from another ** master of Xuanku.
Master Xuanku belongs to the Shaolin faction of the Xuanzi generation of monks, and his strength is very strong, not even inferior to Shaolin abbot Xuan Ci.
At the last moments of Master Xuanku's life, Xuanci and other high-ranking monks of the Xuanzi generation gathered in Master Xuanku's room to bid him farewell.
At that time, Qiao Feng happened to be outside Master Xuanku's room, and in order to avoid being noticed, he deliberately held his breath.
Despite this, Qiao Feng was still aware of his existence by Master Xuan Ku, but Xuan Ci and the others failed to detect it.
After Xuan Ci and his companions left, Master Xuan Ku quickly shouted, hoping that Qiao Feng would come into the house and talk to him.
Qiao Feng unexpectedly found that Xuan Ku was able to sense his state of holding his breath and condensing his breath, which shocked him very much, and deep down he gave a very high evaluation of Xuan Ku's internal cultivation.
When all the monks left, the room fell silent. Qiao Feng was shocked by the surrounding environment and didn't dare to show up and knock on the door for the time being. Suddenly, he heard Master Xuanku say, "There are guests coming from afar, why don't you go in?"I saw him put his palms together in front of his chest and slowly exhaled a long voice, "I am a farmer, what can't I do?"Qiao Feng was very shocked, and he said to himself: "I tried to hold my breath, even if the people next to me were only a stone's throw away, they might not be able to realize that I was hiding here. The sound of my ears really proves that my internal cultivation is real. ”
Excerpt from the eighteenth chapter of "Dragon Babu".
Xuan Ci and the others couldn't perceive Qiao Feng's existence, but Xuan Ku could sense this, obviously, Xuan Ku was better than Xuan Ci and the others in terms of internal strength.
The reason why Xuan Ku surpassed Xuan Ci and others in terms of internal strength was because he had mastered a top-notch internal strength. When he accepted Qiao Feng as an apprentice, he also taught Qiao Feng this internal skill. Thanks to the powerful blessing of this internal skill, the young Qiao Feng was still able to show a strength comparable to that of Xuzhu Duanyu, who had more than a hundred years of internal strength, without encountering any adventures.
As a senior monk of the Shaolin School, Master Xuanku's cultivation of top-notch internal skills is obviously a direct product of the Shaolin School.
When it comes to the top internal strength of the Shaolin school, the Yijin Jing is definitely an indispensable part.
So, is the highest level of internal strength cultivated by Master Xuanku the Yijin Sutra?
Of course, if the internal strength cultivated by Master Xuanku is the Yijin Sutra, then what he taught Qiao Feng is also the Yijin Sutra. But when Ah Zhu handed over the Yi Jin Sutra stolen from the Shaolin Temple to Qiao Feng, Qiao Feng flipped through the Yi Jin Sutra and found that the description in it did not seem familiar.
Ah Zhu took out a small oilcloth bag from her arms and handed it to Xiao Feng. Xiao Feng was both grateful and happy, and after opening the oilcloth packet, he saw a thin yellow paper booklet with several curved odd-form characters written on the cover.
What is it?He secretly shouted, "This won't work!."He rolled up the paper again, and it turned out that there was something in the book that he had never seen before. When you turn to the first page, you will find that it is full of various words, but these words are irregular, both round and hooked, and even half a word is unrecognizable.
Excerpt from the twenty-second chapter of "Dragon Babu".
Here, we noticed that Qiao Feng didn't know anything about the mental mantra on the Yijin Sutra, and it was obvious that Qiao Feng did not practice the Yijin Sutra at that time. After that, because Qiao Feng didn't know anything about the words on the Yijin Sutra, he didn't practice the Yijin Sutra. Soon after, he accidentally lost the Yi Jin Jing and was eventually picked up by You Tanzhi.
Since Qiao Feng had never come into contact with the Yijin Sutra, the internal strength taught to him by Master Xuanku was not the Yijin Sutra, but more like another high-level internal skill.
3. In the Heavenly Dragon, there is a well-known high-level internal skill hidden.
When we mention the top internal skills in the Heavenly Dragon, the first thing that comes to mind may be the Northern Shengong of the Xiaoyao School, or the Yijin Jing of the Shaolin School.
Qiao Feng's internal strength was learned from the master of Xuanku of the Shaolin School, so his internal strength naturally would not be the Northern Shengong of the Xiaoyao School. However, the internal strength that Qiao Feng learned from Master Xuanku was not the top internal strength of the Shaolin School, which made people feel very confused.
How did Qiao Feng learn internal strength from Master Xuanku?
In fact, Qiao Feng's cultivation of internal strength is a kind of top-notch internal strength hidden in the Heavenly Dragon.
We are no strangers to this top-notch internal skill, but in the history of the Celestial Dragon, the depth it hides is so astounding that in the entire era of the Celestial Dragon, this internal skill was rarely known. Even in the era of Condor Shooting and Condor, few people on the rivers and lakes knew about its existence. It wasn't until the Yitian era that the reputation of this internal skill began to spread widely in the martial arts.
Mentioning this, I believe you have already guessed the name of this top internal skill, yes, that is the well-known Jiuyang Divine Skill.
In the final chapter of the triptych version of the Condor, it is described that the founder of Jiuyang Shengong is the Bodhidharma Patriarch of the Shaolin School.
Jueyuan) said: ".In the cracks of this Ranga Sutra, there is also a scripture written by Patriarch Bodhidharma himself, called "Jiuyang Sutra". "When the little monks practice every morning and evening, they must first recite this sutra and then carry out their daily exercisesJue Yuan) went on to say: "The little monk is in charge of the management of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, and every scripture in the Pavilion is worth reading carefully. I believe that what is recorded in the Buddhist scriptures are all wise sayings of foresight. Seeing the various methods of strengthening the body and washing the marrow described in this "Jiuyang Sutra", the little monk did not hesitate to practice these methods. He studied hard for decades and eventually did not suffer from any diseases.
Excerpt from the fortieth chapter of the triptych version of "The Condor Heroes".
Since the Bodhidharma Patriarch founded the Jiuyang Divine Skill, until the last part of its divine carving, it has been treasured in the Shaolin Temple's Tibetan Scripture Pavilion.
The era of Tianlong is later than the era of Patriarch Bodhidharma, and it is also earlier than the era of the Condor, so in the era of Tianlong where Master Xuanku is located, Jiuyang Shengong is also preserved in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion of Shaolin Temple.
Master Jueyuan was just an ordinary monk in the Scripture Pavilion, and he had the ability to cultivate the Nine Yang Divine Skills hidden in the Scripture Pavilion. Therefore, in the Shaolin Temple, the monks whose status was higher than Master Jueyuan and other miscellaneous chores were also qualified to practice the Jiuyang Divine Skill hidden in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion.
In the Tianlong era, Master Xuanku was a senior monk of the Xuanzi generation, and the abbot Xuanci was the same generation, and his status was significantly higher than that of ordinary monks in the Shaolin Temple Scripture Pavilion, so Master Xuanku undoubtedly had the ability to cultivate the Jiuyang Divine Skill in the Shaolin Temple Scripture Pavilion.
Since the highest level of internal power cultivated by Master Xuanku was not the Yijin Sutra, the internal skill he was most likely to cultivate was the Jiuyang Divine Skill stored in the Shaolin Temple's Tibetan Scripture Pavilion. Therefore, the internal skills that Master Xuanku taught to Qiao Feng should also be Jiuyang Divine Skills.
Fourth, Qiao Feng did not encounter any adventures, so why is his strength not inferior to Xuzhu and Duan Yu?
Regarding Qiao Feng's cultivation of Jiuyang Divine Skill, Jin Yong also had a relatively clear hint in his writings.
Qiao Feng once successfully rescued Duan Zhengchun from Kang Min, when he used his palm to press against Duan Zhengchun's vest and conveyed a powerful internal force into Duan Zhengchun's body.
Xiao Feng pressed his palm tightly against Duan Zhengchun's vest. At the same time, an extremely powerful internal force poured into his (Duan Zhengchun's) various meridians.
Excerpt from the twenty-fourth chapter of "Dragon Babu".
What should be emphasized here is that the strength of Qiao Feng's internal force to Duan Zhengchun has reached the peak of vigor, which means that Qiao Feng's internal force has surpassed the general vigor, but has reached a new height.
In the story of Yitian, Zhang Wuji once healed Yin Tianzheng, who was seriously injured at the top of the light. At that time, Zhang Wuji pressed his palm against Yin Tianzheng's vest and conveyed a powerful internal force into Yin Tianzheng's body
Zhang Wuji said: "My name is Zeng Aniu. I only heard a "pop, pop, knock" sound. As he spoke, he put his palm on the "Lingtai Acupoint" of Yin Tianzheng's vest, and continued to input internal force. The Jiuyang True Qi in his body reached the extreme strength, and after Yin Tian trembled a few times, he quickly opened his eyes, and had an unusual feeling for this young man.
Excerpt from the twentieth chapter of "Heaven and Dragon Slayer".
Here, when we compare the scene of Zhang Wuji transmitting Jiuyang True Qi to Yin Tianzheng and the scene of Qiao Feng transmitting internal force to Duan Zhengchun, we will find that the way the two convey internal force is the same, that is, they both use their palms to stick to the vest of the person who is being transported internal force;At the same time, the strength of the internal force released by these two is the same, and both are extremely deep.
Obviously, Qiao Feng learned the internal skills from his ** Xuanku master, that is, the Jiuyang Divine Skill created by Patriarch Bodhidharma.
Based on the above information, we can understand that Qiao Feng is in his thirties, and his strength is already comparable to that of Xuzhu Duan, who has more than a hundred years of internal strength. This is mainly because the internal strength that Qiao Feng cultivated was actually the Jiuyang Divine Skill founded by Patriarch Bodhidharma.
