"The way of heaven is to make up for the deficiency when there is more than enough damage. Therefore, the virtual is better than the real, and the deficiency is more than enough..."
In the hall, Gu Cheng practiced kung fu with Huang Shang.
Their practice method is quite strange. There is neither standing stance nor training of moves. The master and the disciple sit in front of each other and read and explain.
In fact, Huang Shang did not want to teach Gu Cheng martial arts. He was deeply influenced by Confucianism and believed that martial arts was inferior. As an emperor, what he should master was the art of governing the country and bringing peace to the people, rather than the ruthlessness of people in the world and the use of force to violate the ban.
.
But Gu Cheng brought up the example just now. If a peerless master really attempted to assassinate him, how could an emperor who didn't know martial arts resist him?
Huang Shang had no choice but to teach it, but unlike the masters and apprentices in the world, he asked Gu Cheng to study and practice.
Huang Shang himself read through all 5,481 volumes of the Taoist Canon, and realized the profound mysteries of martial arts from the Taoist teachings.
If word got out that the best master in the world was teaching his disciples like this, he was guaranteed to make the martial arts people laugh to death. I am afraid that even Huang Shang himself would not think that Gu Chengzhen could learn it, and hoped that he would retreat when he saw the difficulties.
But Gu Cheng had no complaints and really started studying seriously.
It is precisely because of the special method that it is more secure. After all, the Song Dynasty valued civility over martial arts. If Gu Cheng, the only direct prince, went to practice martial arts and was quickly told by a servant, wouldn't the news be leaked and the whole government and the public would be turned upside down?
On the contrary, it was Gu Cheng's recent diligence and studiousness that made the emperor very happy. Not only did he announce his admission to the palace, he also gave Huang Shang many rewards.
Gu Cheng had no feelings for the cheap and weird parents in the palace, but he didn't pretend to do anything shocking. He was still just like Zhao Kuo before, just being submissive and fooling around.
Time flies, and January passes by in a blink of an eye.
In early spring, when the grass was growing and orioles were flying, and the flowers were fragrant, Gu Cheng meditated in the pavilion to nourish his energy, looking at the pavilions and pavilions with warm eyes.
Compared with the East Palace in the Three Kingdoms of Xianwu, the environment of the palace in this world is almost like living in the countryside, but Gu Cheng actually feels friendly.
The Immortal Family's methods are shocking for the first time, and being in it feels a bit far away, especially when one's own strength is too weak, and it feels even more humbling.
On the contrary, this worldly beauty contains worldly truths in nature, which made Gu Cheng, who had been studying Taoist classics recently, feel peaceful. His body was shaken, and a weak but extremely pure air flow was born from the Dantian and began to flow slowly in his limbs.
.
"Your Highness is truly a genius!" Huang Shang's voice came from behind, and Gu Cheng stood up to greet him: "Sir, how do you think my martial arts progress is?"
Huang Shang stroked his long beard and said: "Your Highness can realize the sense of Qi and generate Qi by himself within one month. His talent is so high that it is rare in this world. However, the cultivation of this family requires perseverance and perseverance. It cannot be achieved quickly!"
"Duan Yu Xu Zhu, please understand!" Gu Cheng complained in his heart, but he also knew that what Huang Shang said was true.
In the world system of the Golden Book, internal strength is the most important link, and the cultivation of internal strength is basically impossible.
Take a look at the protagonists of the plot. Although most of them have achieved success at a young age, they also spent a lot of time.
Zhang Wuji devoted himself to practicing the Nine-Yang Magic in the center of the valley, and also took flat peaches. It took him five full years to achieve great success.
Guo Jing practiced martial arts since he was a child, and later drank Liang Ziwen's snake blood. Yang Guo had an ice bed, snake gallbladder, and Xiao Longnu's guidance and practice.
It can be seen that having the secrets of magical skills is not enough. It will take at least several years, plus the use of heavenly materials and earthly treasures to speed up practice, in order to become a master.
The latter two, Gu Cheng, are currently lacking.
In terms of time, Gu Cheng has a sense of urgency. He can see the changes in the world from Huang Shang's longevity. So, can we think that when the dragon spirit enters the world and wants to absorb the dragon's energy, the world is also absorbing its power?
, to become stronger?
The influence is two-way. If you delay for too long, the dragon spirit will be too closely integrated with this world. If it cannot be separated or even be swallowed by the time, it will be over!
This conjecture was recognized and alerted by "Huo". It would cost his wife and lose his troops, so it would be better to speed up the action.
As for the treasures of heaven and earth, although Gu Cheng's status is much nobler than that of Guo, Yang and Zhang, the Zhao royal family has suffered a lot, and the emperor was kidnapped by the Jin people. The children of the royal family pay attention to working hard and being diligent and thrifty, so they are honored
The prince's palace was not as wealthy as he had imagined, and he had everything he could ask for.
Gu Cheng himself had actually taken it, but "Huo"'s answer made him very helpless: "I have absorbed those Qiqiao Exquisite Pills. It is because of their medicinal power that I can barely manifest..."
Look at the word "barely", there are so many Qiqiao Exquisite Pills, I'm afraid a pig can be piled up to become a strong man in the unparalleled realm, but "Fire" doesn't even have one ten thousandth of the strength of the Han Dragon Spirit, it's really helpless.
But precisely because of this, "Huo" is also a master of alchemy. He knows countless elixir recipes and refining techniques, including the Qiqiao Linglong Pill. Any force assisted by it will undergo earth-shaking changes.
It's a pity that it is useless in this world, because the elixirs mastered by "Fire" are too advanced, and most of the materials are not available at all.
In this case, we can only take the ordinary path, refine the Qi, and supplement our own energy through external food.
Gu Cheng has an idea about this and has already put it into action. We may be able to see the results soon.
At this moment, Huang Shang started the class. After finishing several Taoist sermons, Gu Cheng began to ask: "Sir, the essence of the Five Treasures and Six Prefectures are all concentrated on the eyes. What does this sentence mean?"
Huang Shang said: "The nest of essence is the eye, the essence of qi is the white eye, the essence of sinew is the black eye, the essence of bone is the pupil, the essence of blood is the canthus, and the essence of flesh is the restraint. This is what "Huangdi Neijing" says
In other words, the specific cultivation method is..."
"Sir, I have an idea. Now I want to try it. Please protect me!" Gu Cheng thought for a moment, his chest rose and fell, and with every breath, the true energy began to mobilize the essence in the internal organs and send it into both hands.
Head.
He is cultivating the god-refining line in the Three Kingdoms of Immortal and Martial Arts.
After successfully entering samadhi, the Lian Shen system will enter the next level of five senses.
What are the five senses?
Shape, sound, smell, taste and touch are the five human sense organs: vision, hearing, smell, taste and touch!
Introducing the mind-training chapter of "Eight Parts of the Dragon Canon", the divine dragon in the sea of celestial spirit consciousness will exhale a magical energy at all times.
This energy is mana. Compared with true energy, it is more varied and incredible, but it is also less likely to grow.
The normal way is to use mana to enhance the five senses. Without the assistance of external objects, it is really a drop of water that can penetrate the stone, and it takes longer than the internal force to open the meridians.
But now, after consolidating and exploring, Gu Cheng uses the pure Taoist Qi cultivated by the Nine Yin Manual as a supplement to transport the essence of the five internal organs, and then uses magic power to cultivate his eyes. This is a two-pronged approach, getting twice the result with half the effort.
Sure enough, as the energy from the five internal organs was transported and the dragon god's magic power was extracted, Gu Cheng's whole body was shocked. He closed his eyes and then opened them again, and there were actually two rays of light that were solidified and penetrated his body.
Although it was only fleeting, the coolness lingered in his eyes. The birds, insects, and ants, and the lines of the tables and chairs were all clearer than ever before. Even the clothes of the palace ladies a hundred meters away were as clear as a magnifying glass.
"Is this the shape of the five senses?"
Gu Cheng blinked his eyes a few times in disbelief and stood up in ecstasy.
However, before his smile appeared, his face turned pale, and he fell backwards as if he was exhausted.
Fortunately, Huang Shang, the protector, appeared behind Gu Cheng in an instant, with a palm on his back. The majestic and far-reaching energy, like a torrential river, was sent into the body to make up for the serious loss of energy. At the same time, he said with great solemnity: "Your Highness,
When practicing Qigong, you need to have a heart of awe and take every step step by step, and you must not be so eager for quick success!"
Gu Cheng regained his breath after a moment, nodded and said: "Thank you sir for reminding me, I was too hasty!"
Sure enough, before the power of heaven and earth cannot be communicated, the transformation of energy is conserved.
He used his magic power to cheat and cultivate quickly, but the price was a great loss of vitality in the five internal organs. Without Huang Shang's timely replenishment, he would have suffered a serious illness at least, or laid the foundation for disaster.
Gu Cheng originally wanted to continue his efforts and practice the other seven chapters of the "Eight Parts of the Dragon Code", but now it seems that he has to slow down, otherwise his energy will be exhausted and even Huang Shang will not be able to save it.
Sometimes the level of martial arts is too high, which is not a good thing!
"Treasures from heaven and earth, I must find an effective alternative!" Gu Cheng felt a sense of urgency in his heart. He stared at Huang Shang and expressed his sincerity: "Sir, can you teach me some internal and external martial arts now?"
Huang Shang smiled bitterly: "Since His Highness is so eager to learn, I will teach you the art of Yijin, Forging Bones and Soul Movement. Remember to proceed step by step!"
…
…
A few hours later, Gu Cheng said goodbye to Huang Shang in high spirits and headed towards the backyard dining room.
A chamberlain came forward to greet me: "Your Highness, why do you need to condescend to me? The medicinal meal you ordered has been prepared!"
"I want to see it for myself!" Gu Chengjian walked quickly and pushed open the door of the dining room. Under a group of maids who knelt down in fear, he saw a pot of fragrant soup on the table. He took a deep breath and showed his enjoyment.
color.
"It's done!"
This is exactly the medicinal diet he prepared by consulting "Fire" and using the method of mixing elixirs.
It is unrealistic to refine elixirs from the Three Kingdoms of Xianwu, but the idea can be used. In the same way, no matter how rich the palace is, he is also the only son of the current emperor, and there will always be no shortage of ingredients such as deer antler, ginseng, and snow lotus.
Gu Cheng selected eight items, mixed them in a certain proportion, and cooked them at a special heat to make this eight-treasure soup.
The effect is definitely not as good as the treasures of heaven and earth, but it is better than the stability. Taking it every day will definitely be of great benefit to the process of refining qi.
Gu Cheng didn't care about etiquette anymore, picked up the bowl and drank it. His mouth was full of fragrance, and a stream of heat flowed down his esophagus into his abdomen.
He closed his eyes and activated the "Easing Muscles and Forging Bones" chapter he had just learned, and his muscles and bones began to slowly squirm.
After a while, Gu Cheng slowly let out a breath, and there was a sour smell in it, which was the filth in the body being discharged.
He nodded approvingly and waved his hand: "You have done a good job, and you will be rewarded. From now on, you will include this eight-treasure soup in three meals a day!"
This was supposed to be a happy event, but who would have expected that the chamberlain in charge of the dining room actually knelt down with a bang, his limbs trembling, and kept kowtowing: "Your Highness, please forgive me, Your Highness, please forgive me, the dining room was robbed, and most of the ingredients were stolen..."
