"Become an immortal, become a saint, become a true person?"
Cheng Sanwu couldn't hold back and laughed out loud: "It's enough to say this, but what about lying to ghosts?"
"I don't think "Liuhe Yuanzhang" can make people become immortal saints, but in the past, some people did practice to the innate realm with this technique." Afu looked lazy, and slowly tangled his fingers in the ends of his hair:
"Back then, the Zhou family in Yixing studied the "Liuhe Yuanzhang" intensively, and several generations of masters emerged. One of the clan members was named Zhou Chu. He was similar to you. He was born with supernatural powers, and he was brave and fierce. He practiced "Liuhe Yuanzhang".
Later, he can go into the mountains alone to kill tigers and minions, and enter the water to kill dragons."
Cheng Sanwu quickly asked: "What dragon?"
"The crocodile monster that became the weather has not yet completely transformed into a dragon." Afu smiled faintly, as if recalling: "Back then, the south of the Yangtze River was not like it is now. Far away from the cities and farms, there were still large areas of wilderness and mountains, among which were entrenched
There are many monsters. They are squirrels, pythons, anacondas in the water, tigers, wolves, foxes and apes in the mountains. They gather in groups and even imitate the human world to form settlements, which is extremely harmful to ordinary people."
"There are also many monsters and monsters hidden in some ravines in the Western Regions. Caravans who are familiar with the roads know where to avoid those places or when it is safest to pass through." Cheng Sanwu looked at the book in his hand and pondered: "But you said
That Zhou Chu, who can kill monsters by himself, is really powerful."
Cheng Sanwu also occasionally fought against monsters in the Western Regions, such as corpse vultures and sand dragons. Even though Cheng Sanwu possessed supernatural powers, it was difficult for him to win by himself. It would be good if he could save his life. p>
The physical strength of the monsters is far greater than that of ordinary warriors. Some are so huge that they can crush people into pulp just by relying on their heavy weight, not to mention those weird and unpredictable magical powers.
If the Anxi Protectorate wants to deal with demons, it usually mobilizes the elite warriors in the army, restrains them with Buddhist and Taoist masters with magical powers, lays traps and ambushes all around, and sets up strong bows and crossbows to form a siege, instead of just a few
A master takes risks alone.
Zhou Chu can single-handedly destroy powerful monsters that harm one party, which shows that his martial arts skills are extremely high. Moreover, he goes into the mountains to kill tigers and dives into the water to kill muttons. He specializes in situations where monsters can best display their abilities, which is even more extraordinary.
In Cheng Sanwu's impression, a person with similar abilities should be the Qi Dadu Protector. He threw an iron spear with his bare hands and directly nailed the sand dragon to death. This kind of ability is rare in the world.
"Zhou Chu's ability to kill monsters relies on the "Liuhe Yuanzhang"." Afu continued: "The "Liuhe Yuanzhang" teaches people to accumulate inner breath and cultivate their true energy, which is the best to withstand long-term fierce battles. And "Liuhe Yuanzhang"
Chapter" After cultivating to a certain level, you can resist the evil and poisonous miasma, your five senses and mind will not be easily disturbed by illusions, and you can even withstand the invasion of cold and heat from the outside world."
"Listening to what you said, it feels like this martial arts can do anything." Cheng Sanwu said curiously.
"Everything is capable, which usually means everything is sparse." Afu moved his hands and simply lay down on the couch, stretching his body: "Liuhe can be found in all directions. The name of the senior master who created this martial art is unknown.
. But I knew at a glance that they must be those Confucian scholars in the Han Dynasty who pursued the meaning of great unification, but they incorporated part of Taoism and the theory of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements. They tried to use this internal skill to penetrate all kinds of martial arts from ancient to modern times."
Cheng Sanwu pressed his swollen head: "I told you, I don't understand these principles."
"I don't expect you to learn it immediately." Afu said: "It is extremely difficult to obtain the "Liuhe Yuanzhang". After the Ministry of Internal Affairs obtained this secret book, it planned to use it to cultivate a group of masters, but no one was able to master it, even in the end.
I haven’t touched the basic inner breath at all.
Later, the masters of the Ministry of Internal Affairs split it into six parts and reduced the discussion on Confucianism and Taoism. This is certainly easier to start with, but when practicing, they often only focus on one or two meridians. As time goes by, the Qi meridians will go astray.
, if the imbalance is too great, it will cause all kinds of diseases, which are extremely uncomfortable."
Cheng Sanwu frowned slightly, and Jiang Zhen next to him also smiled and said: "I have treated several people who practiced "Liuhe Yuanzhang". They fell ill, their meridians and breath rushed wildly, their internal energy was activated involuntarily, and their muscles twitched.
.If not treated in time, spontaneous power may cause paralysis.
"In fact, I don't have much else to do. I can only rely on acupuncture to acupuncture acupuncture points to disperse part of the qi that is wandering in the meridians. But this method is equivalent to abolishing part of the skill. For those who practice martial arts, it takes several years of hard work.
If you practice in vain, you can imagine the pain in your heart."
"I understand." Cheng Sanwu said: "In short, if you want to practice this "Liuhe Yuanzhang", you can't just practice part of it alone. If you want to practice it, you have to practice it all together. But the problem comes back again, the complete
"Liuhe Yuanzhang" is difficult to complete. From what you say, it seems that it needs support from Confucianism and Taoism?"
"Learning is not something that happens overnight. Some people have studied for a lifetime, that is, they just follow the script and have not understood it at all." Afu said: ""Liuhe Yuanzhang" was originally for those who were successful in learning. They read "Liuhe Yuanzhang"
"Yuan Zhang", you can learn by yourself without any guidance from others."
"These scholars like to make such twists and turns." Cheng Sanwu shook his head and sighed.
"It is a helpless method to divide the inner strength and mental method into six parts. This is equivalent to splitting a fine porcelain bowl into six pieces, but the fragments themselves are useless." Afu tapped her forehead: "But this method is
It inspired me that if I want to practice "Liuhe Yuanzhang", I don't need to divide it into six parts, just divide it into two parts."
"How do you say it?" Cheng Sanwu asked, following the other person's words.
"Taiyang, Yangming, Shaoyang, Taiyin, Jueyin, Shaoyin, the six qi of this human body circulate according to the twelve regular meridians." Afu smiled delicately: "The master of the internal affairs department is based on the distinction of the six qi, strong points.
Gongjue, but in this case, why not just distinguish it according to the yin and yang qi?"
"Does that mean only cultivating Yang Qi or only cultivating Yin Qi?" Cheng Sanwu scratched his head and asked: "I don't know much about internal skills, but this doesn't seem right? If you only practice one discipline, won't there be problems with it?
”
"Yes." Afu stared at Cheng Sanwu, with hidden meaning in his eyes: "But what if the two of them practice together?"
Cheng Sanwu didn't seem to understand. Jiang Zhen covered her mouth and exclaimed, immediately understanding Afu's intention.
"Have you ever heard of Taoist Concierge's technique?" Afu asked.
Cheng Sanwu replied: "I've just heard of this name, but I don't know what it is about."
"To put it bluntly, it means picking up yin to replenish yang, and picking up yang to replenish yin." Afu didn't feel the slightest bit shy when explaining this matter, but was completely indifferent: "We met by chance, and the two of us are each other's profound essence. I
I won’t go into details. In short, it is to allow men and women to participate in the "Liuhe Yuanzhang" through dual cultivation of Heqi, so as to achieve a stable cycle of Yin and Yang in the two bodies."
"Double cultivation of Heqi means..." Cheng Sanwu was speechless for a moment and his tongue was tied. After thinking for a while, he finally understood: "Can internal strength be cultivated in this way?"
"It was very popular in the Taoist house. In the past, the Taoist family in the Southern Dynasty was quite fond of this method." Afu's eyes were as charming as silk: "How do you think? Do you want to try it?"
Cheng Sanwu scratched his head and asked: "Is there no other way? You have so many experts in the internal affairs department, you can always come up with other ways, right?"
"Yes, there is." Afu said: "There are timings for the inflow and outflow of human qi. The twelve regular qi machines are based on the twelve hours of the day, and each has its strong and prosperous time. If you are looking for a quiet and blessed place, strictly follow the time.
Meditate on breath regulation quietly, regardless of day or night, and after twenty or thirty years of practice, you will probably achieve some success."
Cheng Sanwu opened his mouth slightly. He still lacked understanding of the difficulty of practicing "Liuhe Yuanzhang" before.
"In other words, we must do some kind of dual cultivation of Aiki?" Cheng Sanwu looked embarrassed: "Let me ask one more question, who should I practice dual cultivation with then?"
"Of course it's me." Afu said without hesitation: "I am from the Yaksha clan. Even if I use secret methods to dig out my orifices and expand my veins, I will still be able to cultivate a pure yin body. Or can you find a better partner for dual cultivation than me?"
Cheng Sanwu seemed to have encountered some difficulties and obstacles, and his words were at a loss for words: "Is it...does it have to be like this?"
"What? Is it so difficult for you to accept dual cultivation with me?" Afu's tone gradually became colder: "I consider myself not a chaste and martyr woman, but I will not hand over my body casually. I have the intention to cultivate you, but you don't want to
I don’t know how to praise.”
Cheng Sanwu's eyes dodge and he glances around. Qin Wangshu, who is opposite him, looks unhappy, secretly thinking that this person is really hateful and is favored by the envoy, but he still thinks too highly of himself.
Jiangzhen, on the other hand, is full of curiosity. This is the first time she has seen someone who can resist the temptation of Afu. If her sister Fu lets go of her restraints, not only the men in the world will be moved by her, but even women will be obsessed with her.<
/p>
"I know you have good intentions, and I am not ignorant of good and bad." Cheng Sanwu rarely looked thoughtful, and then said: "But it's impossible for your internal affairs department to only have this one martial arts secret book, right? You can't find some simple and easy-to-learn martial arts secrets.
Are there any additional requirements?"
"I didn't pick this "Liuhe Yuanzhang" randomly." Afu took out a scroll from behind and threw it over.
Cheng Sanwu took the scroll and unfolded it to look at it, and found that it was a sword manual with pictures and texts. The word "Yanfeng" stood out clearly. It was simple and direct. You could guess the approximate number of methods of this sword technique without even looking at it. p>
In addition to explaining the sword techniques and moves, the pictures on the scroll focus on how to move Qi, follow the meridians and acupuncture points, and ultimately transform the breath in the body into Yan Feng Gong Jin.
This flame wind skill is very powerful. When the skill is activated, the whole body will roar like a burning wind, which is enough to force the opponent to lose his breath. With successful practice, you can also burn wood and make fire, and you can also use the energy in your body to make a fire.
Turn into flames, spit out directly from the mouth, and burn the enemy.
If you reach the level where Gang Qi is released, you can swing your sword in the air to create fire blades. You can even run the Gang Qi to protect your body and condense it into a fire suit, which can directly burn up the arrows fired at you, or
Turning oneself into a fireball and charging freely among the enemy groups is also a top-notch form of trapping martial arts.
Moreover, at the end of the scroll, Cheng Sanwu also saw several pictures, which depicted the figure of a warrior flying into the sky with his feet on fire clouds. It can be seen that this "Fire Wind Sword Manual" has been practiced to the extreme, and even has the ability to fly into the sky.<
/p>
"This is a good thing!" Cheng Sanwu was fascinated by it, and after a while he said: "Wouldn't it be better if you took it out earlier? With this "Yanfeng Sword Manual", there is no need for "Liuhe Yuanzhang"
Got it!"
"Let me advise you, nine out of ten people who practice "Yanfeng Sword" will die early due to self-inflicted inflammation, and the remaining meridians will be completely useless." Afu sneered: "I know you are physically strong, and
It has the ability of self-healing, but the stronger your skill, the more severe the backlash of inflammation. You don’t want to endure the pain of inflammation burning your bones all day long, right?"
"Stop, stop!" Cheng Sanwu was a little annoyed: "Why are the martial arts secrets you gave me either difficult to practice or bad for my health? Are you trying to harm me on purpose?"
"If I want to harm you, I have plenty of ways to do it, and I won't be so bored that I use two profound martial arts books as bait." Afu said bluntly: ""Liuhe Yuanzhang" is an internal skill and mental method, and there are no moves. "Yanfeng Sword Manual"
Although the use of the moves is exquisite, it has great disadvantages in internal practice. It took me many days to figure out how to integrate these two techniques."
Jiangzhen and Wangshu on the side looked serious. They knew that it was not easy to integrate two martial arts with completely different origins.
Even if we don't mention the differences in mental methods, other tasks such as regulating the breath, moving the meridians and expanding the pulses, etc., are all complicated and difficult tasks. They often require the accumulation and verification of several generations, and they must be repaired through the experience of fighting the enemy.
Correction.
It can be said that Afu's move is no less than compiling another new exercise. If she had not had hundreds of years of experience and knowledge, and had collected and compiled many notes from predecessors in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, she would not have been able to do it so easily.
"Let me be honest with you, this "Liuhe Yuanzhang" is not only prepared for you, I also want to practice it myself." Afu seemed to be sighing secretly: "Although I am a Yaksha and have a long life, my martial arts cultivation is
It will not simply increase with age and improve endlessly.
"In fact, my martial arts have stagnated for many years, and I am already unable to deal with An Quti. But I don't want to restore the nature of Yaksha. I must make a breakthrough in martial arts. "Liuhe Yuanzhang" is what I gave
The way out you choose.
"You also understand my situation. The Yaksha body is destined to be unable to cultivate the "Liuhe Yuanzhang" alone, so I need to find someone to combine Qi and practice with me. I have Xuan Yin Qi in my body and can assist the other person in cultivating the Three Yang Qi.<
/p>
"In addition, the Three Yang True Qi is the best power to drive the "Yanfeng Sword". Firstly, the "Liuhe Yuanzhang" Qi is long-lasting, and secondly, it can relieve the disadvantages of self-injury caused by Yanjin. There is nothing like this in the world.
A more suitable match."
Cheng Sanwu lowered his head and stared at the Yanfeng Sword Manual. He did not expect Afu to be so frank. After thinking for a long time, he made a decision and nodded heavily: "Yes, I promise you."
After hearing this, Afu raised her eyebrows and smiled, turned over and sat up and said, "Okay! Don't worry, I will never set up to harm you. But there is one more thing I want to explain to you."
"What happened?"
Afu pointed at Qin Wangshu: "When you master the Yanfeng Sword Technique, you will practice sparring with Wangshu."
"Yes, yes, but why?" Cheng Sanwu was puzzled. When he looked at Qin Wangshu, he saw that the other party avoided his eyes and his face darkened.
"Quan is just helping." Afu did not answer directly: "But you have been sparring with fake Taoist priests these days, and why? Are you planning to get married to Prime Minister Lu's good son?"
"Changqing is studious and eager to ask questions, and I am willing to teach him." Cheng Sanwu waved his hand: "As for who his biological father is, I don't care."
