Chapter 28: "Longevity"
Shi Long shook his head, and said that there was no need for the young master to deceive him in such a thing. Maybe this is true. But with his talent, it will be difficult to reach that level in his life.
‘Oh! I didn’t expect that I, Shilong, could not even get through a single move in front of this junior. It’s really sad! It’s a pity!’
Shi Long looked complicated, "For several months, I have been facing this book day and night, and I have even asked Brother Tian many times, but unfortunately I have never found anything, and I almost lost myself... Forget it, forget it, maybe this book is not suitable for me."
Shi Long stretched out his right hand and gently stroked the scroll of the immortality woven from the mysterious silk thread on his chest. His face was complex and vicissitudes, and he was reluctant to leave his eyes, but he knew in his heart that Lou Guandao was something he could never afford to offend...
When his slightly trembling palm pulled out a plain book from his clothes, his whole body suddenly became depressed.
The whole person's energy seemed to have been taken away by this book!
"I used to think that the famous saying of Mr. Tao was exaggerated. When I met today, I realized that the true person was actually better than rumors. My fellow Taoist's magical powers were probably in the realm of a master, and they were not ordinary!"
Shi Long's former sturdy body was slightly hunched over at this moment. Speaking of this, his face was even more bitter.
"Since you made an agreement before, then...this "The Eternal Life Story"..."
He raised his hand and threw out the book he had just taken out. Shi Long said tiredly, "It's yours from now on, fellow Taoist!"
He raised his hand to take the Eternal Life Skill. Ye Ning quietly slid on the cover woven with his fingertips, but seeing that it was not damaged at all, it was Ye Ning who could not hide his surprise at this moment.
You should know that in the original work, Yu Wenji was forced to do everything, but Shi Long would rather die than hand over it. This shows that his temperament is strong, as for what is said in the original work-
Ye Ning didn't believe the words "Shilong was afraid that the Eternal Life Art will fall into Yang Guang's hands and be understood and the words "It's the secret that has been learned and the immortal emperor" are like those who have cultivated themselves.
"Senior is really generous. If you break it, you will break it. The demeanor of pushing the mountain is really admired by the younger generation!"
Looking at this slightly depressed middle-aged man, it was the first time since Ye Ning came out of the mountain that he felt a little admiration for a person whose cultivation was not as good as him.
"Although the story of immortality is good, since I obtained this Taoist treasure, I have been facing each other day for several months. Even though I have broken my mind, I still have nothing to gain. Because of this book, I am obsessed with cracking the mysteries in this book. In terms of my state of mind, I am far less comfortable than before I got the book...
Perhaps it was because this book had no connection with me that not only did I not understand the mystery, but I was full of my inner demons and became obsessed with things.
It may be my chance to lose this book today!”
Shi Long closed his eyes with a little vicissitudes. After this book of Eternal Life disappeared from his hand, although the first thought of reluctance and forced snatching back...
But under this, he had been practicing the Taoist heart for decades, but when he threw this book to Ye Ning, he vaguely felt the ease in that moment!
This made Shi Long think and reflect on what he has gained in the past few months, and then he said that he would gain something when he lost his book.
Of course, this statement is called enlightenment, but in fact it can be called joy in suffering. Shi Long naturally had no favoritism for the person who stole the treasures of his body. He said bluntly:
"Master Qingxuan, since you have obtained this Eternal Life Art, you must also need to go back and comprehend as soon as possible. Shi will not leave any guests, please!"
Listening to Shi Long's bright intention of seeing off the guests, Ye Ning smiled slightly, "Senior, since he has already expelled the guests, it is naturally not easy for me, a villain, to stay here.
But if you are interested, if I or the one who is a Taoist in my Lou Guanjing can understand some of the secrets in this book, you can go to Zhongnan Mountain to discuss the Tao with us!"
"oh?"
In an instant, Shi Long's eyes lit up. Even if the true energy scattered around his body was still difficult to stop his passion at this moment. He was already obsessed with the desire for the mystery in the Eternal Life Stories and was a little bit devilish.
However, he has been an old man for many years, so he naturally knows that there is no free lunch in the world. At that moment, he looked at Ye Ning with bright eyes and said word by word:
"Since this book has been yours, it is a thing of Lou Guandao. I wonder what the price I will pay if I want to comprehend this book and the principles you have learned from this book?"
"The blessings of the infinite Heavenly Lord! The seniors are dedicated to the Tao and practice hard for decades. Even among the Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist can not only be fulfilled, but also can sit directly at the Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist to worship the elders!"
Upon hearing this, Shi Long couldn't help but silently joined a large force such as Lou Guandao. With his cultivation level, he believed that the benefits he gained were naturally quite good, and there has never been a shortage of people to recruit him from the past to the present.
But everything has advantages and disadvantages. When they recruited them, they never concealed the constraints and dangers of these great forces...
If he opens a Shilong Martial Arts Field alone, although his resources are not as good as those major forces, he is free and free and everything is at will.
Compared with each other, they naturally have their own gains and losses!
As for other forces that had recruited him before, Shi Long himself knew very well that Lou Guan Dao was definitely the most suitable force for him, and even the other major sects may not be able to match.
However, if he agreed to the other party's recruitment, Shi Long felt a little unwilling to do so.
"I know that my senior loves Zhuang Zhou's freedom and is happy to be free, so I will naturally not let my senior do anything against my heart... My Lou Guandao worships the elder position of the elder, and I have certain resources to worship every day!
In addition to some simple responsibilities that must be fulfilled, they will only be called when the Taoist lord needs it. As for the daily life, all the great worship elders practice freely!”
Looking at Shi Long who was vaguely shaken but refused to make a decision for a while, Ye Ning couldn't help but feel moved, thinking about the information about the other party, and now he made his promise thoughtfully.
"I believe that when I was watching this book of the Eternal Life Stories, I should have seen many annotations from Taoist masters? Among them, some annotations from the Master of Dao of Lou Guan were left behind. Even in the Palace of the All Dharmas of the Eternal Life Stories, there are quite a few copies of the Eternal Life Stories.
It’s just that truly excellent martial arts are difficult to record with words alone. In a sense, words are pale. If you want to cultivate a superior martial arts, what you need most is the key to guide you! So..."
Ye Ning looked at Shi Long with sincere eyes, "Today I got this book from my predecessors. If I combined the research of my predecessors in Lou Guandao for many years, I might not be able to decipher the mystery contained in this book!"
The promise Ye Ning made before shaken Shi Long's heart even more powerful. In the end, he had a word about deciphering the Eternal Life Art, which hit Shi Long's heart deep, suppressed his hesitation, and made him make the final choice.
Shi Long's face slowly relaxed, and even his spine was erected again. He looked directly at Ye Ning for a moment, and then said, "This is a big deal, and I can't make a decision for a while. Please give me some time and let me think about it carefully!"
"The heaven and earth are forever. The reason why the heaven and earth can last forever is that they do not live by themselves, so they can live forever.
Therefore, the sage comes after his body and his body comes first; the outside of his body and his body exists.
It’s not because of its selflessness? Therefore, it can be selfish."
Looking at Shi Long who was obviously moved, he deliberately delayed his decision at this moment to raise his value. Ye Ning couldn't help but smile and knew that the matter had been done.
At this moment, he gently recited forty-nine words that seemed to explain the true meaning of Taoism's pursuit of immortality, then turned around and stepped on the Bagua, and left with the breeze.
In this small manor on the outskirts of the city, only a ray of breeze and a stone dragon full of surprise and joy were left.
The senior master has already explained the few words at the beginning of the Eternal Life Stories quite clearly, so he naturally memorized them quite well. He knew what Ye Ning was talking about at first.
……………………
The power of Louguandao is spread all over the world, and naturally there is a separate view in Yangzhou City. Just like when he went to Luoyang City to live in Xuanzhen Temple, Ye Ning also moved into Yongning Temple on the outskirts of Yangzhou City.
However, Ye Ning, who came to Yongning Temple, did not take care of the errands anymore, but directly shut down everyone and returned to the always-prepared guest house in Yongning Temple. Then he flipped his hands and took out the Eternal Life Skill.
The cover of "The Eternal Life" is exactly the same as that of ordinary books. If you didn't contact it with your own hands, you wouldn't be able to see any abnormalities at all.
However, the story of immortality is woven from mysterious gold thread. The feeling of tentacles is different from that of ordinary paper. It also has the characteristics of water not being soaked or burning in fire, so it is never forged.
When you open the story of Eternal Life, it turns out to be as described in the original book of the Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty. The first few pages are written in oracle bone inscriptions, with many comments from readers interspersed between the lines.
Most of these annotations are mixed with the viewer's own personal feelings, and are limited to their respective realms and visions. Most of them express their opinions in a mixed manner, and it is inevitable that the bull's head is inconsistent or even tit-for-tat way.
Ye Ning first recited the words he knew in the Changsheng Sutra from the beginning to the end, and then wrote them down, then read the notes left by the predecessors in the book. Finally, he used the comments of his ancestors of Lou Guandao to analyze this book as a reference and comparison...
It’s a pity that all the wisdom of the three directions is exhausted. These more than 7,000 ancient oracle bone characters can be analyzed, but the direction of practice in this book has been vaguely displayed.
Although the ancestor of Taoism was Lao Tzu, Huangdi also left indelible traces in it. Therefore, there are often words such as Huang-Lao theory within Taoism, and what they say is Huangdi and Lao Tzu.
Guangchengzi, who wrote this book, was the first senior master of Taoism. His apprentice was the famous Huangdi!
The principles of practice explained in this book are different from the martial artist's sublimation of himself and the way to break the void, but are the ancient and simple Taoist method of seeking immortality.
The purpose is to prolong life, and the ultimate goal is to live with the sky, live forever, and become a flying immortal!
Therefore, the practice methods in this book are different from those of martial arts.
Generally speaking, no matter how magical the martial arts that are popular in the world are, the true energy cultivated by the warrior will eventually return to the dantian. The dantian can be said to be the foundation of the martial artist's practice and the most critical acupoint.
However, the practice methods in "The Eternal Life Skill" are completely different. Among the seven pictures used to explain the path of Qi refining, only the first picture will return to the dantian.
Others, the true energy of the whole body is derived from various important acupoints, such as the seventh picture, which starts from the left foot Yongquan and from the left foot Yongquan acupoint.
As for the six pictures, the true qi originates from the Tianling point in the brain. After it is circulating around the body, it will eventually become the brain acupoints!
The cumbersome and dangerous methods of such practice are far beyond ordinary martial arts practice!
If you achieve the achievements of cultivation, you will naturally be far above ordinary martial arts. Therefore, if you can practice the art of eternal life, the starting point is the innate realm!
