Seeing such a magical scene, Shi Long was stunned for a moment, and then felt quite worried.
He was not a dull person and could have guessed that Meng Xiuyuan must have made a breakthrough in practicing the "Secret of Immortality", which was why he had this vision.
But upon closer inspection, he felt something was wrong again.
The breeze that escaped from Meng Xiuyuan's body blew on his face, giving people a feeling of refreshment and vitality. Shilong could be sure that it must be full of the essence of heaven and earth without having to practice his skills.
And this also means that Meng Xiuyuan is losing his precious innate true energy.
"Mr. Meng..."
Shi Long looked at Meng Xiuyuan who was practicing his martial arts with his eyes closed, and subconsciously let out a soft cry. However, because he was afraid of disturbing Meng Xiuyuan, he had to quickly close his mouth and silently worry in his heart.
In Shi Long's view, Meng Xiuyuan's vast energy was something he had never seen before in his life. He could already be considered to be otherworldly and superior to the entire world.
It would be a pity if we had to lose all our skills and start from scratch just to practice the "Secret of Immortality".
Although Shi Long didn't know where Meng Xiuyuan's majestic Qi came from, he could guess that such an unconventional thing would be difficult to replicate.
"Mr. Meng, there is no rush in practicing Kung Fu. Please think twice before taking action..."
Shi Long slowly approached Meng Xiuyuan and spoke in a soft voice, hoping to wake him up.
Unexpectedly, not long after the words were spoken, Shilong suddenly trembled, and all the hairs on his body stood up in an instant.
As an innate master, his spiritual sense is frantically warning, reminding him of the approaching danger.
Shilong had never felt anything like this since he was born. In a subconscious reaction of self-preservation, he immediately tiptoed and evacuated out of the house like lightning.
But even though he moved so quickly, he was still half a step too slow.
Just when Shi Long's body was about to cross the threshold, the heaven and earth essence that was originally overflowing in the room suddenly became restless, and almost in an instant, it rushed towards Meng Xiuyuan's body.
Its power was so strong that it was like a tornado suddenly bursting out, blowing all the furnishings in the room to pieces.
What's even more strange is that the essence of heaven and earth, which was originally vibrant and refreshing, seems to have changed its nature at this moment, and has become very sharp, with a slightly chilling aura.
Although Shilong was on the edge, he suffered greatly because he had no time to resist, and his clothes were cut into countless small tears and became tattered.
Fortunately, he had innate true energy to protect his body, so he was not injured.
"Master..."
The disciples from the dojo who came outside to deliver daily necessities also heard the commotion in the room, and hurriedly greeted them and ran in, rushing into the quiet room recklessly.
"do not move!"
Shi Long turned around after hearing the sound, knowing that this reckless disciple's life was in danger, so he quickly pushed him back with a palm, and at the same time, he took a strong breath of energy and escaped from the room as quickly as possible.
At this moment, the Taoist disciple looked intently into the room and saw sawdust flying everywhere, dust and smoke rising, and everything destroyed. He couldn't help but sweatdropped from behind, and he understood why the master wanted to push him out.
"Master, this is..."
Upon seeing this, the young disciple subconsciously wanted to ask a question, but Shi Long clenched his fists tightly at the moment and had a solemn expression on his face, so he swallowed his words involuntarily.
At this time, the master and apprentice could only watch the movement in the room silently, with different thoughts.
After a while, the strong wind in the room slowly dissipated and everything became calm.
At the same time, Meng Xiuyuan slowly opened his eyes, and then coughed twice, and bits of blood foam flew out of his mouth, staining his clothes red.
"Mr. Meng, are you okay?!"
Seeing this, Shi Long rushed forward and stretched out his hand to explore the injuries in Meng Xiuyuan's body.
Unexpectedly, before he could reach him, Meng Xiuyuan had already stood up on his own, his body was as smooth as if he was injured.
"Mr. Shi, I succeeded!"
When Meng Xiuyuan opened his eyes and saw Shi Long, he subconsciously said in surprise.
"What?!" Shi Long was quite surprised when he heard this.
He had just seen such a chaotic scene and concluded that Meng Xiuyuan must have gone crazy. He only hoped that Mr. Meng would not lose his martial arts and lose his life because of this. How could he dare to think about the bright side.
Seeing Shi Long's expression and looking at the mess in the room, Meng Xiuyuan thought for a moment and probably understood the reason, and immediately explained:
"Mr. Shi, please don't misunderstand.
I did encounter some unexpected situations during my luck just now. Due to my inexperience and my impatience, I accidentally damaged your house. I'm really sorry.
However, I did make an important breakthrough by accident..."
As he spoke, Meng Xiuyuan stretched out his hand, and the golden book recording the "Secret of Immortality" was photographed from the debris in the ruins.
Immediately, he opened the treasure book, pointed at the seven pictures of movement, and said to Shi Long:
"I have already completed the first of these seven figures."
…
Speaking of Meng Xiuyuan's process of practicing the "Secret of Immortality", it is really not easy.
With a humble attitude, he actually followed Shi Long's instructions at the beginning and did not rush to see the seven movement diagrams. Instead, he first studied the oracle bone inscriptions in the book.
As a result, for several days, apart from being dizzy with thoughts, nothing was gained at all.
In the end, Meng Xiuyuan was forced to use the little "enlightenment time" left over from his previous life. After analyzing it, he discovered that the annotations were a complete mess and without any nutrition.
Obviously, the "sages" who received the divine book before did not study any useful information from the oracle bone inscriptions left by Guangchengzi.
Forced to have no choice but to take risks, Meng Xiuyuan chose to directly start trying the luck path among the seven humanoid images.
Looking at the seven humanoid images, we can see that the exercise routes in the first five images are relatively simple, while the sixth and seventh images are very complicated.
Meng Xiuyuan did not rely too much on it, but chose to study it from the shallower to the deeper, from easy to difficult, starting from the first painting.
If you look closely at the figure, you can only see a thick black arrow at the beginning, pointing directly from the outside of the painting to the Shaoshang point on the right thumb.
But after entering the body, the luck arrows are divided into seven colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. Each colored arrow seems to tell a completely different set of exercises. Not only are the paths different, but the selected acupoints are also very different.
Its level of complexity is even greater than the "Eternal Life Eternal Spring Gong" that I learned in my previous life.
After a little analysis, Meng Xiuyuan understood that the starting point of this skill was very high. It started directly from absorbing the essence of heaven and earth and cultivating the innate true energy, skipping all the acquired refining and transformation of the energy.
Out of habit, Meng Xiuyuan first tried to use the method of "Beiming Divine Art" to inhale the pure spirit energy of heaven and earth into his body, and then immediately switched to using the luck method in "The Secret of Immortality" to complete some of the luck in the body.
But the result is obvious and it cannot be successful.
At this point, Meng Xiuyuan understood that if he wanted to practice the "Secret of Immortality", he would have to start from scratch and abandon his previous martial arts ideas.
Although this is a bit difficult for Meng Xiuyuan, it is not completely impossible.
After all, he had tried it once in his previous life when he switched from "Pure Yang Wuji Kung" to "Beiming Divine Kung Fu".
With all his thoughts reduced and keeping one in mind, Meng Xiuyuan let go of all his thoughts and tried to focus solely on the "Secret of Immortality".
More than ten days passed like this, and by this morning, Meng Xiuyuan felt that the heat was coming, so he used the "Sudden Enlightenment State" as an aid in order to achieve a breakthrough.
After brewing for a long time, until Meng Xiuyuan gradually calmed down and forgot about things and myself, and seemed to be sleeping but not sleeping, a sudden change occurred.
The image of luck appeared in his mind for no reason at first. Then, the Shaoshang point on his right thumb felt like a knife cutting, and a sharp surge of heaven and earth essence poured into his body.
When Meng Xiu saw this scene, he was pleasantly surprised. He just thought that the kung fu was about to be completed, and hurriedly guided the essence of heaven and earth to follow the luck route in the first picture of "The Secret of Immortality".
However, at this moment a hidden danger emerged.
Meng Xiuyuan has been practicing Qi for ten years in this life, and his Beiming Qi is extremely rich and powerful, flowing naturally in his meridians all the time.
As soon as the essence of heaven and earth guided into the body by the "Secret of Immortality" came into contact with Meng Xiuyuan's own Beiming Qi, the two clashed and started fighting in Meng Xiuyuan's body.
If Meng Xiuyuan hadn't been successful in physical training and his meridians were wide and tough, just this one move would have been enough for him to become possessed.
The situation was so urgent that Meng Xiuyuan had no time to operate carefully, so he could only take the initiative to release the part of Beiming's true energy that was "blocking the road" out of the body, freeing up the meridians to ensure the smooth operation of the "Secret of Immortality".
This is why Shi Long saw Meng Xiuyuan's clothes fluttering and his body relaxed in the breeze after he entered the door.
Under such a loss of power, the "Secret of Immortality" did not disappoint Meng Xiuyuan. The essence of heaven and earth circulated through his body several times and finally integrated into his lungs smoothly.
Seeing that the attempt was successful, although Meng Xiuyuan felt a little sad for the lost Beiming Qi, he was also quite happy and wanted to continue practicing his skills.
Unexpectedly, things turned out to be twists and turns, and something unexpected happened again.
As soon as Meng Xiuyuan thought about it, he wanted to use the "Secret of Immortality" to absorb the essence of heaven and earth. Unexpectedly, the Beiming Qi that he had just escaped seemed to be summoned and surged back into his body.
Moreover, affected by the "Secret of Immortality", these Beiming Qi suddenly changed their nature and became very sharp, with a slightly chilling air.
The true energy was sucked back into the body like a whirlpool, ten times or more than a hundred times faster than before. In addition, its sharp and wounding nature put Meng Xiuyuan to the test for a while.
Fortunately, after ten years of physical training, his internal organs and meridians were as solid as iron. This turbulent air flow circulated in his body several times and was also smoothly integrated into his lungs.
During this process, although Meng Xiuyuan was slightly injured, he recovered in an instant.
…
"Mr. Meng, the practice process you described is really weird.
When I listen to it now, I find it difficult to understand..."
In another intact quiet room in the house, Shi Long was a little confused for a moment after hearing Meng Xiuyuan's description.
Meng Xiuyuan shook his head when he heard the sound, and said with a bitter smile:
"To be honest, Mr. Shi. Many of these mysteries are just speculations and have not been confirmed..."
Thinking about the whole process, what puzzled Meng Xiuyuan the most was why the Beiming Qi that he had escaped from the body was sucked back into the body by the "Secret of Immortality", and even changed its nature and merged into the lungs.
A bold guess may be that Meng Xiuyuan's Beiming Qi is not really innate Qi, but is generated by the combination of his essence and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and is pure in nature.
Once out of the body, the true energy disintegrated and lost its original nature. It only turned into the spiritual energy of heaven and earth contaminated with Meng Xiuyuan's breath.
Under the operation of "Secret of Immortality", this special spiritual energy of heaven and earth is like a familiar road, swarming in one after another, and the efficiency is naturally much higher than absorbing it from scratch.
"No matter how you put it, I think this is a good thing.
At least this vast energy of yours should not be wasted."
When Shilong heard this, he was happy for Meng Xiuyuan.
Meng Xiuyuan smiled and nodded. The result was indeed much better than he expected:
"Well, although there is dissipation during the transformation process, it is still within the acceptable range.
It’s better than losing all my strength and starting from scratch…”
At this moment, Shi Long seemed to have remembered something and suddenly interrupted Meng Xiuyuan and asked him again:
"By the way, Mr. Meng, there is one more thing I don't understand.
Tell me, why are the essences of heaven and earth you absorbed so sharp and murderous?
In my past practice, I have never seen such a phenomenon.
Is this the special feature of "Secret of Immortality"?"
Meng Xiuyuan thought for a moment after hearing this, and then explained to Shi Long:
"If my guess is correct, the first picture of the "Secret of Immortality" should absorb the Gengjin energy between heaven and earth.
The lungs belong to metal, and this Geng metal energy is specially used to strengthen the lungs..."
Having said this, Meng Xiuyuan spread out the golden sacred book, pointed at the pictures on it and continued to Shi Long:
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "When I look at the first five of these seven pictures, they are quite similar.
Thinking about it, it should be to accumulate the energy of the five elements between heaven and earth to cultivate the five internal organs."
Shi Long's eyes lit up when he heard this. Looking at the luck routes in the first five pictures, he felt more and more what Meng Xiuyuan said was reasonable:
"Mr. Meng is indeed a great talent, he has discovered such a mystery.
Countless people have seen this longevity secret for thousands of years, but none of them have reached the stage of Young Master..."
After saying this, Shi Long paused for a moment and his face changed slightly:
"However, if, as Mr. Meng said, these five pictures are only used to accumulate the energy of the five elements and strengthen the five internal organs, then this "Secret of Immortality" may really be just a health-preserving method, and it is difficult to apply it to martial arts.
After all, the energy of the five elements is used to nourish the five internal organs and cannot be accumulated in the Dantian. Even if you rely on this to become an indestructible body, you will still suffer if you don’t have the true energy to deal with the enemy..."
Meng Xiuyuan smiled when he heard the sound and said to Shi Long:
"Mr. Shi is worrying too much, don't forget, there are still two remaining pictures.
The complexity of the luck lines in the sixth and seventh pictures may exceed the sum of the previous five pictures.
The key to this "Secret of Immortality" should be found in these last two pictures."
Meng Xiuyuan recalled the little remaining memory and vaguely remembered that by chance, the two protagonists Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling in the original work skipped the first five pictures and each chose one of the last two pictures to practice.
And this does not affect them from becoming the best masters in the world.
When Shilong heard this, he immediately nodded and said to Meng Xiuyuan:
"What Mr. Meng said makes sense!
Inferring from this, the first five pictures should accumulate the energy of the five elements, nourish the five internal organs, and strengthen the body, which should lay the foundation for practicing the last two pictures..."
Speaking of this, Shi Long seemed to be reminded, his body trembled, and he hurriedly said to Meng Xiuyuan:
"By the way, Mr. Meng, I remembered.
When I got this "Secret of Immortality", I heard the story about its creator Guang Chengzi. At that time, what he said was so mysterious that I thought it was just nonsense.
But now it seems that it may indeed be the case!
It is said that after the senior Guangchengzi created the "Secret of Immortality", he practiced kung fu to an extraordinary level.
Before his death, he actually left this world in a spiritual state, leaving only a body that was harder than steel.
