"Perhaps his intention was not in this from the beginning."
Afu couldn't help laughing when she saw Cheng Sanwu's silly look in deep sleep, snoring slightly. However, with just these few words, most of the red and swollen palm marks on Cheng Sanwu's cheeks had disappeared. This kind of self-healing
Even Afu felt extraordinary about his ability.
"But I just realized that Cheng Sanwu has indeed undergone unusual changes, which are extremely terrifying and indescribable. And Cheng Sanwu seems to be trying his best to suppress that change." Jiang Zhen saw Afu, and she frowned slightly.
Wrinkled: "He said... he wanted to eat me."
Ah Fu would definitely not regard these words as flirting between men and women. Considering that the poison hidden in the mantle lotus, Bao Buqi aroused the nature in Cheng Sanwu, which was the desire for gluttony.
"Sister Fu, has Cheng Sanwu always eaten like this?" Jiang Zhen asked.
Afu nodded and said: "It's very big. Even compared to other warriors, it has an amazing appetite."
The appetite of martial arts trainees does not increase as their martial arts skills improve, otherwise those top masters would not have to do anything else all day long, just eating would be enough.
As the level of martial arts improves, the internal organs, meridians, muscles, bones, skin and flesh of the body will gradually change. It is called washing the marrow and cutting off the hair, changing the muscles and bones, but this is the case. Each of the three religions also has its own meticulous attention.
The outward symptoms include gray hair turning back to black, teeth falling out, rejuvenation and strength, and strength. Even if you can't abstain from eating grains like a Taoist master, you can still absorb the nutritional essence in grains and meats.
Even if the food intake is similar to that of ordinary people, you can still absorb more.
Even for some masters who have cultivated to the point where the Gang Qi is released, the elixir that can replenish the energy, blood and essence in the body, snake gallbladder ginseng and zhizhi, may be more practical. Cheng Sanwu's habit of eating an astonishing amount of food is more like relying on barbarism.
The reckless man who fights hard not only wastes a lot of food, but also puts a huge burden on the internal organs just for digesting food, which hides hidden dangers.
"That's wrong." Afu recalled the details of the past and noticed something strange: "Although Cheng Sanwu eats a lot, he eats more than he takes out."
Jiangzhen stared at the bronze mirror of the dowry, carefully pressed her fingers on a piece of red silk, and plucked it slightly like playing a harp, vibrating the gold needle on the other end.
"His Zuyangming Stomach Meridian Qi is extremely strong." Jiangzhen noticed the abnormality and his eyes flickered: "It takes ordinary people two or three hours to digest food, but with his current condition, he can only eat it in two moments."
Although Afu is not as proficient in Qihuang medical theory as Jiangzhen, he can still hear the problem: "Didn't you say that his inner breath is disordered? Why can the Qi in the Yangming Meridian still flow as usual?"
"He, he..." Jiang Zhen slowly raised his eyes and said in horror: "He has two sets of meridians in his body."
…
"Alas, she became a prostitute at such a young age."
In the song "Pingkangfang Walking Along the Wall", in a mediocrely decorated brothel room that is no better than a residential house, the poor scholar is wearing a narrow-sleeved robe that has been washed for a long time as always, but this time he does not wear the old man's Nuo mask.
, but revealed a kind-hearted face with sharp eyebrows, starry eyes, and neat mustache.
The poor scholar sat beside the bed and looked at a thin girl with tear moles at the corners of her eyes. She was in a nightmare at the moment, her brows were slightly furrowed and her body was curled up in discomfort. The poor scholar raised his hand and pressed the Shenmen point on the girl's wrist, gently
The long infuriating energy flowed through her fingers, making her feel calm, the nightmare subsided, and her whole body softened.
"She is only thirteen years old in terms of bones, but the appearance of her meridians and organs is that of a seventeen or eighteen year old. The lesions are hidden, and I am afraid that within three years, she will die of progeria." The girl's brows stretched, as if she fell into a sweet dream,
But it was the poor scholar's turn to look worried.
"Pingkangfang Sanqu is the most tormenting place." The person who said this was not a living person, but a lifelike wooden kite: "And let alone three years, if this girl earns less money, she will immediately
She will be beaten and scolded by the madam. If she is unlucky enough to become pregnant, just aborting the child will probably kill her."
Also in the guest room were not only Qiong Ru and Mu Yuan, but also a Taoist priest in linen robes, holding a small clay figure in his hand, which looked like a child's doll. However, the surface of this clay figure was covered with the meridians and acupuncture points of the human body in meticulous detail.
At this moment, there is still the slightest trace of light flowing on the little clay figure.
"I just...can't bear it." Qiong Ru sighed.
"Yes, yes, you heard that Master has a great ambition to save the world and save the people, okay?" Mu Yuan's voice was hard to distinguish between male and female, but full of mockery: "Pingkangfang is not the only place with three songs, it's you
You must come to this prostitution house. I thought you were going to imitate those who were admitted to the imperial examinations and go to Nanqu, a popular place, to have fun with prostitutes."
The poor scholar who was called Master Wen smiled wryly and dusted off his old clothes: "With my appearance, if I go to those big houses in Nanqu? I'm afraid I'll be beaten with sticks."
"Are you still worried about having no clothes to wear?" Mu Yuan snorted coldly: "Back then, you were in charge of the Huangji Tianguang Array in Chang'an, but you were dressed in rich clothes and wearing a crown, and you looked like that when Taizu Taizu of Great Xia saw you. He wanted to put you on the spot.
Take it off and serve him as prime minister."
"That's a formal dress. How can you wear that kind of clothes when you come to a place like this?" Master Wen said, waving his hands.
"Then don't come here!" Mu Yuan immediately retorted, seeming a little angry and jumping up and down.
Master Wen raised his chin slightly and signaled to the linen-robed Taoist: "Didn't Hong Ya say it before? If you want to find out Cheng Sanwu's meridians and atmosphere, you can't be too far away. You can't go to Zhongnan Erqu, so you can only come to this one.
.You didn’t see it just now, but when the madam saw both of us, her face was full of disgust, and she only pushed this frail little girl to us."
"Isn't this nonsense?" The person behind Mu Yuan must be impatient: "You two bad old men, dressed in shabby clothes, no one will like you!"
"I am a Taoist, and I should get rid of all the ornaments and ornaments and return to simplicity." The linen-robed Taoist did not raise his head, focusing on the little clay figure in his hand.
Mu Yuan spoke mercilessly: "Go and tell these immortal masters in Jixian Yuan and Xuandu Temple, who are dressed in red and purple. They go in and out of chariots and sit high on the throne. The princes and nobles compete to pay homage to each other.
There are also those who wear gold and jade. There are also two princesses who entered Taoism more than ten years ago. The oaths and letters of the alliance piled up like mountains, and millions of dollars were spent on the temples built for them. Is this called returning to simplicity? "
Taoist Ma Pao did not answer, and his expression did not change at all. Master Wen said with a smile: "Hongya is a very high-minded person. He has nothing to do with the king. He has ignored all the rewards from emperors in the two dynasties. You are not telling him this for nothing.
Well?"
"Has anyone ever said you have a mean mouth?" Mu Yuan cursed angrily.
Hearing that the master regarded Mu Yuan's scolding as normal, he looked at Taoist Ma Pao and said, "Hong Ya, can you give me three Five Buds Gathering True Pills?"
Hong Ya didn't move his eyes, still staring at the little clay figure, and just asked lightly: "What are you going to do?"
"I want to save this little girl." Master Wen replied.
"There are many people in this world who are stuck in the mud, and you can't save them." Hong Ya's tone was cold.
"Save each one you see, and you went to the Heling Kingdom in the South China Sea to collect medicine. Didn't I also lend you the Liuhe Ju?" Master Wen said in a shameless tone, unlike the one who was revered by scholars all over the world more than a hundred years ago.
The generation of Confucians who looked up to them were exactly like the common people haggling in the streets.
"I can give you the elixir, but how do you plan to save her?" Hong Ya said: "Ordinary people take the Five Buds Juzhen elixir to build the foundation of Taoism, which is not suitable for her current situation."
"I plan to accept her as my disciple." As soon as the master said this, the room fell silent for a moment, and even Hong Ya couldn't help but look slightly sideways.
"Did I hear you correctly?" Mu Yuan shook her wings: "The sage of the East China Sea, who founded the Hongfan Academy, is finally accepting a disciple after so many years? Is she still such an illiterate, thin and sick prostitute?"
"What's wrong with being a saint? Now I'm just a poor scholar, unknown to the world." Master Wen shook his head and looked at the girl with a mole on the bed: "Taoism talks about chance, Buddhism talks about fate, let's just regard it as a coincidence. I don't
I dare to claim that I can save the world, but at least save the people in front of me first."
"This opportunity of yours is too great. She is not lucky enough to bear it." Hong Ya turned his attention to the clay figure again.
"Even if we don't mention the fate, the three Five-Sprouting Vein-Changing Pills, and the Qi-Tuning Pulse you have never stopped doing since Master Wen just now, there are not many people in the world who have experienced this opportunity!" Mu Yuan said.
Master Wen kept pressing his fingers on the girl's wrists, and his true energy flowed continuously into her body, combing out all her veins. This young prostitute who had fallen into a despicable brothel had no idea that what she was going through at this moment was enough to make the world's Confucian scholars
He was so amazed that he was the envy of all warriors in the world.
"In the past few years, I thought it didn't matter. Now that Cheng Sanwu has come to Chang'an, seeing the situation change, I have to make some preparations." Master Wen said calmly: "If Taotie wakes up in the future, we old guys should fight hard. Wan
If something unexpected happens, you still have to leave a descendant for Fu Shifeng, right?"
"There are so many Confucian scholars in the world, why do you insist on accepting her as a disciple?" Mu Yuan was puzzled: "You knocked her out as soon as you entered the door, without carefully examining her character and character. Isn't it too hasty?
?”
"Because there is teaching, there is no distinction." Master Wen only answered this sentence without saying anything more.
As soon as he finished speaking, Master Wen raised his hand to catch the white porcelain bottle thrown by Hong Ya, and heard him say: "Three Five Buds Gathering True Pills, do not take them immediately. After the pulse expansion is completed, let her nourish the internal organs and blood.
Say it again."
"Thank you." Master Wen put away the elixir, still holding the girl's wrist with his hand, and asked: "How is Cheng Sanwu's condition?"
Hong Ya said without looking back: "The mysterious meridians have been opened, temporarily replacing the original Zhengqi meridians."
"I didn't expect that the profound veins would actually activate at this time." Master Wen muttered in a deep voice.
"I'm just saying that those guys in the Chamberlain's Department are not trustworthy!" Mu Yuan jumped up and down a few times: "Those girls seduced with their beauty, and Cheng Sanwu was tricked by them. This time they used poison, and the next time they just used poison.
I’m afraid it will become even more vicious and unpredictable!”
"Do you think Cheng Sanwu was being teased by them?" Master Wen twisted his beard and said, "I can't see it. Although trees are planted in bad soil, they may not be able to bear fruit. In the past, Taotie was shaped into a human body in Taiyi Longchi.
, Hong Ya proposed to open another set of meridians, so that if the original meridians and qi mechanisms were disordered, there would be a backup response. Wouldn’t it come in handy now?”
Mu Yuan asked: "Hong Ya, you must have learned this from me, right? Every time I build a new mechanism, I need an extra set as a backup."
Hong Ya had no intention of chatting with the two of them and said bluntly: "This is not the first time the Xuan Vein has been activated today."
Master Wen narrowed his eyes slightly: "Did you launch it during the battle with An Quti?"
"No." Hong Ya's words were conclusive: "Although there are almost no traces, you can still feel a trace of the sharp edge of the blade."
"An Quti was beaten to death by Cheng Sanwu with his fists, and at that time, he should have borrowed the evil power of Taotie." Master Wen quickly made a judgment: "It seems that Cheng Sanwu touched the mysterious veins by himself alone.
."
"That reckless man?" Mu Yuan didn't quite believe it.
"Foolishness and stubbornness will destroy wisdom; blindness and blindness will dethrone cleverness." Hong Ya reminded: "You and I should be lucky that Cheng Sanwu chose to commit suicide. The last time he used his wisdom was the Heyang murder case."
"It's not enough to kill more than a hundred people alone. What's great is that there were more than a hundred people in the Sun family. No one could escape and seek help. They were all killed overnight." Master Wen said: "And believe me, Cheng
That time on the 35th, I didn’t even use my brain too much.”
"If Cheng Sanwu can grasp the mysterious meridians, he may be able to develop a new style." Hong Ya said seriously: "The two sets of meridians are entangled like yin and yang, contradictory and integrated. This is the way to deal with Taotie."
"Use Zi's spear and attack Zi's shield to let Taotie fight Taotie to death." Mu Yuan marveled: "Thank you for being able to come up with such vicious means."
…
In an empty wilderness, black clouds floated like smoke, filling the space between the sky and the earth. Occasionally, strange whistling sounds came from the distance, like ghosts in the forest at night, which made people shudder.
Cheng Sanwu woke up from his trance, looked down at his hands, and slowly made fists, without any expression on his face.
As if sensing the presence of Cheng Sanwu, the black clouds floating in the sky suddenly started to flow, gathered on the ground, and formed a series of strange human shapes. They were covered in green and black hair, and had a pair of thick sheep-like horns on their heads, either coiled or pointed.
The sheep's lower body has thick and powerful hooves, and its arms are like humans but have sharp claws.
When these weird human figures turned towards Cheng Sanwu, they revealed human faces, including men and women, old and young, with different expressions, either angry and angry, or frightened, all seemed to be frozen.
At a certain moment in life, it no longer changes.
The clothing of these clawed monsters is incomplete, but it can be roughly seen that some are wearing civilian clothes and some are wearing armor. However, their shapes are very different from those of today's Great Xia, as if they were characters from a long time ago who have been wandering in this wilderness for more than a few years.
Cheng Sanwu's expression was extremely calm, and he did not have the usual impulsive and reckless attitude. When the croissant monsters saw Cheng Sanwu, they were like a spark falling into a frying pan, and they immediately let out a deafening roar.
The chest and abdomen covered with long green and black hair squirmed strangely, opening a bloody mouth, and the body and limbs twisted unnaturally, as if they couldn't wait to devour everything to satisfy the hunger in the belly.
"Eat you...eat you, eat you...I'm going to eat you!!!"
There was a burst of small talk at first, and then the voices became more and more dense, and in an instant they turned into hundreds of thousands of shouts in unison, approaching like a tidal wave.
Smelling the stench in the wind, Cheng Sanwu slowly raised his hand and drew his sword. A ray of light bloomed in the wilderness, like the rising sun, which could not be looked at.
