Chapter 143 Relying on the Heaven to Slay the Dragon
Chapter 143 Relying on the Heaven and Slaying the Dragon
Meng Xiuyuan reached out and took out a thin book.
Although this book has a bound cover, there is no writing on it. It’s hard to guess what it contains.
Meng Xiuyuan casually handed it to Zhu Yuanzhang across the table. Upon seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang stood up quickly, bowed his head and bent down to take the book.
"Let's take a look now. If you don't understand anything, just ask and I can explain it to you."
After Meng Xiuyuan finished speaking, he lowered his head again and concentrated on using Qigong to clear Zhu Biao's meridians in his arms.
Zhu Yuanzhang immediately responded when he heard the words, then sat back in his seat and opened the book with his wife beside him.
The two of them thought carefully, and once they got their hands on it, they found that the paper used in the book was very new, and it must have been written and bound into a volume just now.
Looking at the content again, we can see that it is a series of pictures accompanied by text. The picture on each page is an action, which is a coherent set, and the text on each page explains the key points and breathing when doing this action.
Zhu Yuanzhang and his wife looked at it carefully and found that although the paintings on the book were not very good-looking, they were more concise and clear. Together with the text explanations next to them, people can understand the meaning after a little careful consideration.
"Meng Shaoxia, is this a kind of kung fu?"
Zhu Yuanzhang had only turned a few pages before he couldn't help but ask Meng Xiuyuan.
After all, he has been practicing "Liaoyuan Gunshen" for five or six years, and it has almost been engraved in his bones. Looking at the book now, he can't help but find many very familiar things, and he feels that there must be a connection between the two.
Unexpectedly, Meng Xiuyuan shook his head after hearing the sound:
"Kung Fu shouldn't be counted, after all, even if you practice it to the highest level, it's meaningless in killing people.
If I have to say it, it should be regarded as a guidance technique, or a health-preserving technique.
Its only function is to teach people to take good care of their bodies and avoid illnesses and pains."
Zhu Yuanzhang was a little surprised when he heard this. He responded with an ooh, then lowered his head and opened the book again.
Sure enough, after turning all the way to the last page, when the whole set of actions was completed, I saw a short article attached at the back.
The article briefly introduces some knowledge about maintaining the body, and mentions the damage caused by a series of factors such as mood, work and rest, diet, sexual intercourse, etc. to the human body.
It seems to be similar to ordinary medical theory, but it has many novel explanations.
Zhu Yuanzhang read it carefully, pondered for a moment, and then raised his head and asked Meng Xiuyuan:
"Mr. Meng, Biao'er is in weak health. Will this treatment be effective?"
He originally didn't want to question Meng Xiuyuan, but it was about his beloved son, so he couldn't help but ask more.
Meng Xiuyuan smiled when he heard this and comforted Zhu Yuanzhang:
"Don't worry, this child is not terminally ill, just congenitally damaged.
When the time comes, I will leave a trace of pure Yang Qi in his Dantian. As long as he persists in accordance with the law, he will be almost like an ordinary child by the time he is about ten years old.
In the future, as long as you continue to practice this health-preserving method and be careful not to wear out your body too much, you should be able to live for seventy or eighty years without any disease or pain, not to mention longevity."
When Zhu Yuanzhang and his wife heard what Meng Xiuyuan said so definitely, they couldn't help but look at each other, and they were both very surprised.
What parent doesn’t want their children to be healthy, strong, and live a long and healthy life?
In particular, Meng Xiuyuan, a god-like figure, gave an exact figure that Zhu Biao could live "seventy or eighty years". Zhu Yuanzhang and his wife felt that they really saw the baby in their arms growing up healthily and enjoying a life of peace.
Naturally, he looked extremely happy.
Immediately, the couple stood up from their stools and bowed respectfully to Meng Xiuyuan.
Meng Xiu saw the situation, shook his head slightly, and gently helped the two of them up.
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to have remembered something, suddenly took half a step back, and then bowed deeply to Meng Xiuyuan:
"Meng Shaoxia, there is one thing. I hope you don't blame me for being greedy.
In fact, it was not only Biao'er who was in poor health, but my wife was also homeless because of her pregnancy, and suffered from difficult labor when she gave birth to Biao'er, which damaged her foundation.
Even though she is young, she still has the root of the disease and cannot be cured no matter how much care she takes.
Can she also practice your health-preserving method to extend her life?"
When Mrs. Ma heard what her husband said, she hurriedly shook her head and stretched out her hand to stop him:
"Jongba, what are you doing?!
I still don’t know what my body is like and what kind of care it needs.
As long as you don't work too hard, nothing will happen.
Meng Shaoxia is willing to save Biao'er's life and give him a chance to live a long life, which is already a rare favor. How can we still take advantage of it..."
She didn't want to argue with her husband like this in front of the guests, but she was afraid that Meng Xiuyuan would be angry with the couple for being too greedy and take back the longevity that was originally given to Zhu Biao.
If this happens, then she, as a mother, will probably blame herself for the rest of her life.
Meng Xiu, who was opposite, saw the two of them like this. He couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. He didn't understand what was going on. After thinking for a long time, he suddenly realized it and said with a smile:
"You two, have you misunderstood?
My body-building method is not some secret skill. Since I gave it to you, I just want you to learn it.
I gave Xiao Zhubiao that Pure Yang Qi because he was young and still had plasticity, so I wanted to use this to help him fill in the foundation.
As for other people, as long as they have enough food and free time, they can practice this health-preserving method. There are no special conditions.
Although everyone’s understanding and physique are different, the final results may not be very outstanding, but more practice will ultimately be beneficial.”
When Meng Xiuyuan's words came to light, not only Zhu Yuanzhang and his wife, who were the parties involved, but also Ji Fei on the side were also very surprised.
They didn't expect that Meng Xiuyuan would be willing to give away such a magical power to protect people's health and extend their lifespan.
"So, Meng Shaoxia, can I also practice?" Ji Fei couldn't help but asked shamelessly.
With his character, he would definitely give it a try even if he was under the pressure of being scolded.
Unexpectedly, Meng Xiuyuan nodded immediately when he heard this, and said with a relaxed smile:
"Of course, anyone can learn it.
In fact, according to my opinion, it would be best if you could help me spread this health-preserving method in the future so that everyone in the world knows about it.
When I created this skill, I originally wanted to popularize it.
When the time comes, all you need to do is explain to others that this health-preserving method came from Meng Xiuyuan of the Wudang Sect, and that will be all."
In fact, the reason why Meng Xiuyuan created this "health-nurturing method" is actually similar to the intention when he and his master created the "Liaoyuan Spear Technique".
Firstly, this is a good thing that benefits the country and the people. Secondly, he also hopes to use this to explore the illusory "merit" and "luck".
After spending five years in seclusion in the green valley of Kunlun, Meng Xiuyuan polished this method to perfection.
Although it contains extremely sophisticated and profound martial arts principles, after Meng Xiuyuan's careful arrangement, it is very simple to learn, and it can be regarded as a typical black box system.
The purpose is to be easy to popularize and widely benefit people all over the world.
In the future, when the world is at peace and the people have enough to eat, if you practice his "health regimen" every day, you will naturally reduce many illnesses and increase the average life span and working age of the people.
Although this is a bit idealistic, Meng Xiuyuan realized that creating this "health regimen" was another praiseworthy achievement in his life.
If it were to be spread, it is impossible to say that his name would still be praised thousands of years later.
Zhu Yuanzhang and the three people opposite him couldn't help but be moved by Meng Xiuyuan's vision and ambition. They immediately raised their glasses and toasted Meng Xiuyuan, praising him incessantly.
In this way, the atmosphere at the dinner table became more and more enthusiastic. Except for Miss Yang, who had been slightly silent, the rest of the people were very happy.
After a while, Meng Xiuyuan gradually withdrew most of the true energy from Xiao Zhu Biao's body, which was considered to have completed the dredging and expansion of his body's meridians.
Looking at the child's complexion, it is obviously a little more rosy, and the dull yellow color has also faded slightly.
Meng Xiuyuan handed it to Zhu Yuanzhang casually. He and his wife couldn't help but feel very happy when they looked at the child who had rarely felt comfortable since birth and did not show any expression of pain while sleeping.
After thanking Meng Xiuyuan profusely, Ma took him into the house and took care of him to sleep.
As soon as the hostess left, apart from Miss Yang, who had been silent, only three grown men, Meng Xiuyuan, were left at the table. The topic of small talk naturally shifted towards military and national affairs.
Zhu Yuanzhang and Ji Fei briefly introduced the current anti-Yuan situation to Meng Xiuyuan, including several major rebel armies in the world, the current status of various branches within the Mingjiao, and the Yuan court's encirclement and suppression of rebel armies everywhere.
Overall, it is much better than in previous years, but it still cannot be considered very optimistic.
All the heroes in the southeast rose up, and anti-Yuan rebels emerged one after another. Han Shantong, Zhang Shicheng, and Fang Guozhen were the most prosperous. However, the Yuan army was still strong. Once the rebels fought independently and had no communication with each other, they were all destroyed immediately.
In every uprising, disciples of the Ming Cult and the Tianying Cult participated, and they were all captured or killed by Yuan soldiers, and many people suffered martyrs.
Meng Xiuyuan couldn't help but sigh after hearing this. After a long while, he asked aloud:
"After all, people are not united, so they let the Yuan army defeat them one by one.
You should know that at this time, the Ming Cult had a leader named Zhang, who took office on the Guangming Peak and was determined to lead all the disciples of the Ming Cult to fight against the Yuan Dynasty.
He should have sent an order at this time for the leaders of the Ming Cult to gather together, have you received the news?"
When Zhu Yuanzhang and Ji Fei heard this, they both paused slightly and looked a little unnatural. After a while, Zhu Yuanzhang answered:
"Well, I have received the leader's order from the Five Elements Banner brothers a few days ago.
It is said that all members of the church, including the incense master and above, will rush to the Butterfly Valley in Huaibei before the Mid-Autumn Festival in August to meet the new leader and discuss important matters together, while his deputy will stay there to take charge of religious affairs.
After I finish fighting this battle here, I will be ready to set off to see the leader."
Meng Xiu saw their appearance and knew that they must have doubts.
In fact, it is understandable, after all, it took several years of hard work to accumulate such a huge fortune in life and death.
Although he was able to achieve this step by taking advantage of the disciples of the Ming Cult, but suddenly there is a leader above his head, he will be a little worried about being picked off.
Therefore, Meng Xiuyuan took the initiative and said easily:
"No need to worry, my nephew is only good at martial arts and has a good background. He saved the lives of high-ranking members of the Ming Cult and was elected as the leader.
He is kind and gentle to others, has no political ambitions, and does not want to be a marshal or emperor.
As long as the anti-Yuan cause is on the right track, he will be the first to escape in a hurry.
What he wants to do most in his life is probably to go home and draw his wife’s eyebrows with peace of mind.”
Zhu Yuanzhang and Ji Fei were secretly happy to hear Meng Xiuyuan speak so straightforwardly, but they also felt a little guilty because their thoughts were exposed.
After all, although the two of them are not the same as they were five years ago, they are not very secure in this position. After all, they belong to the Ming Cult. They only need a few words from the leader Zhang Da, and there are many people who can do it.
Instead.
Therefore, the two of them did not talk much about this issue. They immediately changed the topic and asked Meng Xiuyuan:
"I still don't know, how did you end up near Zhoushan, Meng Shaoxia?
But if there is something to be done, can our brothers help?"
Meng Xiuyuan heard the words, pondered for a moment, made a decision in his heart, and asked:
"Have you ever heard that in this martial arts world there are such a pair of magical weapons as the Dragon Slaying Sword and the Heavenly Sword?"
Zhu Yuanzhang and the two men nodded when they heard this. Even people on the fringes of the world like them had heard of his name.
On the side, Miss Yang, who had always lowered her head and remained silent, looked up at him in surprise when she heard Meng Xiuyuan's words, as if she had guessed something.
Meng Xiu saw their various reactions and did not hesitate. He took out another book from his arms, which was the "Wu Mu's Suicide Note" that he dug out from Peach Blossom Island.
Immediately, he handed it to Zhu Yuanzhang:
"The Dragon-Slaying Sword and the Heavenly Sword are special not just because of themselves.
What's more important is the secret hidden behind it, and this "Wu Mu's Suicide Note" is the focus of it."
"Wu Mu's suicide note...is Yue Wu Mu's legacy?"
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately started to look through it.
After just taking a brief look at it, he couldn't help but be surprised and admired. He opened his mouth and said to Meng Xiuyuan:
"Yue Wumu's reputation is indeed well-deserved. Although it is a military book left more than two hundred years ago, the subtleties of his thoughts are still shining brightly.
And in the second half, the many views and opinions left by this senior about the Mongolian Tatars are really accurate and very beneficial..."
As he spoke, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes scanned the pages of the military book, as if he was trying his best to remember as much as possible even in this short period of time.
Meng Xiu saw him like this, smiled slightly and said:
"Brother Zhu, I will give this military book to you."
"Huh?" Zhu Yuanzhang was a little at a loss by Meng Xiuyuan's sudden generosity. He didn't understand how Meng Xiuyuan could be so generous.
Meng Xiu shook his head at the sight and said:
"This is not mine in the first place, it is a relic of the two heroes Guo Jing and Huang Rong.
What he did was to help future generations inherit Yue Wumu's legacy, return our rivers and mountains, and drive out the Tartars.
You don’t need to thank me if you want.”
In fact, Meng Xiuyuan was indeed telling the truth.
With the memory of his previous life, Meng Xiuyuan naturally knew that Zhu Yuanzhang was the best candidate to end this troubled world, so there was no need for any further hesitation.
This "Wu Mu's Suicide Note" was originally left by Guo and Huang to future generations of heroes with the ability to lead troops. Meng Xiuyuan could only consider it as a gift at most, and there was nothing to take credit for.
Furthermore, Meng Xiuyuan had already memorized this military book in his mind in a state of "enlightenment", so there is no use in keeping the book now.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang heard what Meng Xiuyuan said, he was still extremely pleasantly surprised. He couldn't help but hurriedly stood up again, solemnly thanked Meng Xiuyuan, and said that he would definitely live up to his expectations.
Meng Xiu saw that he was like this and did not avoid it. He suddenly said:
"The "Wu Mu's Suicide Note" only accounts for half of the secret of the Dragon-Slaying Sword and Heavenly Sword.
Do you know what the remaining half is?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned when he heard this and immediately shook his head.
Meng Xiuyuan looked into his eyes seriously, and then said:
"If you can't rely on the sky, who can compete with you?"
The secrets hidden in the Dragon-Slaying Sword and the Yitian Sword include not only military books but also a martial arts secret book.
I understand the true meaning of these words. The book of war is used to drive away the Tatars. However, if someone succeeds in his work, he actually acts arrogantly and uses violence for violence, and the people of the world are poisoned by him. Then there will eventually be a hero holding a long sword that relies on heaven to come.
Take the tyrant's head.
Even if a man who commands millions of soldiers has overwhelming power, he may not be able to strike with a sword from heaven.
Brother Zhu, please take note of these words."
Feeling a little uncomfortable, sore throat, slight fever.
The situation is not good, I hope everyone can forgive me.
I just hope I'm not infected, I'm a little panicked, my body is normal, I'm afraid I won't be able to withstand the torment...
