第18章（2 / 2）

Since this book was written by Liu Yan, Teng Qingshan naturally had the motivation to peruse it.

Teng Qingshan opened ‘Millennium Chronicle’ and found that all the words were written in traditional Chinese characters, which wasn’t surprising because many ancient books were written in the traditional Chinese lexicon. As Teng Qingshan was Teng Bolei’s disciple, and since Teng Bolei had lived abroad and knew the traditional Chinese lexicon, he naturally taught Teng Qingshan how to read and write traditional Chinese characters as well. Therefore, Teng Qingshan could now read this book with great ease.

“I really didn’t know that Willow Monkey God was actually a part of the Thief God Sect.”

Teng Qingshan hurriedly skipped through the pages, because the beginning of this book was mostly talking about the history of the Thief God Sect. After reading around one-third of the book, Teng Qingshan stopped when he saw a chapter titled “The Millennium Evolution of Martial Arts.”

The beginning of the chapter read, “Scrutinizing the historical records of our Thief God Sect and the historical accounts of Martial Arts, I realized that from the past till now, there has been an increasingly smaller number of people reaching the Grandmaster Realm while it has also bee more and more difficult.”

When Teng Qingshan saw at this sentence, he could not help but nod. “Also, even though all sects claim that the history of Internal Martial Arts has existed for more than a thousand years. The fact is that, the most long-standing Internal Martial Art, ‘Tai Chi’, which was created by ‘Zhang Sanfeng’ of the Wudang sect during the Ming dynasty, has not existed for a thousand years. In the five-thousand-year history of China, Internal Martial Arts only appeared a thousand years ago. Thus, what about the few thousand years before that?”

滕青山读了这些话，心中一阵同情。

商周朝、战国王朝、秦汉、三国朝、南北朝、隋唐......

在所有这些朝代中，人们在战斗中只依靠蛮力吗？

滕青山不相信。

例如，隋唐时期的革命将领能够用手挥舞大约一千斤的沉重狮子形石像。挥舞狮子形石像和举起是两个不同的概念。这就像一个正常人举起一百个金包的包裹，但如果他非要拿着一个十个金哑铃随意摆动，他会觉得这样做很困难。

要挥动一尊重达千斤的狮子石像，至少要有举起万斤的力气。

就算是滕青山，也需要动用全身的精力来挥舞那种狮子形石法，而且，他不可能在战斗中长时间保持这种体力。

在三国王朝，一些勇者会依靠自己的力量，冲进数百万敌军之中，杀死敌人的首领。这太不可思议了！一个人的实力是有限的，怎么可能忽视一支由百万士兵组成的强大军队？

“没错。内武的历史大约始于一千年前，但内武开始之前的几千年呢？滕青山对此也感到疑惑，于是继续看书。
