···

On July 2, Tianjin Wuji Pharmaceutical Factory officially started construction.

On July 5, Wuji Courtyard was completed, and Wuji Taoist protectors gathered in Tianjin.

In the past month, Wuji Dao has added several new guardians, so on the day of the gathering in the other courtyard, there were as many as 37 guardians.

The newly completed Wuji Courtyard does not have many buildings, mainly a perimeter wall with a height of one foot and three feet, and rows of brick and tile houses inside for the disciples of the Wuji Taoist Outer Courtyard to live.

The most conspicuous building is a grand hall with a simple style and a spacious martial arts training ground in front of the hall.

The highest point of the main hall is 10 meters, which is divided into the main hall and the left and right side halls, with a total length of 99 meters and a width of 66 meters.

There is a wooden sign with the word "Wuji" hanging on the front door of the main hall, hence the name Wuji Hall.

Because the protectors are not disciples of Wuji Dao, the specific location of the gathering is in the left side hall.

In addition to the four inner disciples Wang Yuehua, Zhou Qing, Li Shuwen, and Hao Xinyi, Wuji Tao now has 18 adult outer disciples. There are also Zhang Zhankui, Shang Yunxiang and other Tianjin martial arts masters and their disciples to help, so there is no need to

Five months of hard work to entertain all the protectors.

After all 37 guardians arrived, Wu Yue naturally took the main seat.

But when the guardians were dividing their positions, eight people stood out.

These eight people are Li Cunyi, the master of Xingyi, Sun Lutang of the divine fist, Song Weiwei of the divine sword, Du Xinwu of the divine leg, Gong Baotian of the divine palm, Zhang Ce of the divine arm, Li Yaochen of the divine sword, and Wang Ziping of the divine power.

Among them, Song Weiwei and Gong Baotian were recruited by letters from other guardians in late June and Wu Yue.

At that time, Wuji Tao had recruited many martial arts masters from the Beijing and Tianjin areas as protectors, and its reputation in the northern martial arts world was very high. Many martial arts masters and even grandmasters wrote letters as guarantees, so Gong Baotian and Song Weiwei came over after receiving the letter.

For these people, this gathering is not only a gathering of Wuji Taoists and Dharma protectors, but also a grand gathering of the northern martial arts.

After everyone sat down and calmed down, Wu Yueti said in a high-spirited voice: "Three months ago, the heaven and earth changed suddenly and the spiritual energy revived. I believe everyone has experienced the impact on my Chinese martial arts.

In the past, when we practiced martial arts, even if we practiced to the point of cleansing marrow and exchanging blood, we were still unable to defeat guns and artillery.

And because there is no spiritual energy between heaven and earth, marrow cleansing and blood exchange not only fail to prolong the lives of martial arts masters, but are harmful to their bodies and have no benefit in longevity.

But now that the spiritual energy has revived, everything is very different.

If we look at the martial arts you have practiced in the past, you can train the muscles, bones and skin externally, and the internal organs, qi and blood. If you practice to a high and deep level, you can complete the marrow cleansing and blood exchange, and the energy can be transformed into energy, and you can become a person like a land god.

At this time, not only the lifespan is extended a lot, but even when surrounded by dozens of guns, he can easily escape and even kill the gun team.

If I talk about the method of refining Qi that I have taught you, you will be able to use your true Qi to kill enemies several feet away, fly over eaves and walls, and walk on water, all of which have become common abilities.

If you can break through to the Xiantian realm, you can also extend your life and become a land god-like figure!"

Having said this, Wu Yue stopped.

Su Yan used Wu Yue's sight and hearing to observe the reactions of the protectors.

Because everyone is just a protector of the Wuji Dao, not a disciple, there is no need to be very serious in this gathering.

At this time, many people couldn't help but start talking with those around them.

"According to our previous training methods, it is not easy to reach the state of marrow cleansing and blood exchange. There are so many of us, and currently only Sun Lutang is there. Li Shuwen has reached this stage, right?"

"That's true." Someone responded, "Speaking of it, the first four levels of Qi refining method taught by Master Wu are not difficult to practice, but once you reach the fifth and sixth levels that need to open up the eight extraordinary meridians, you will make great progress.

It’s slow.”

"That's right. I feel that if you want to open up the Ren and Du meridians and step into the half-step of innateness, I'm afraid it's not as easy as washing the marrow and exchanging blood."

Someone heard this discussion and laughed: "How can it be easy to practice martial arts? How much less to reach the level of a land god?"

In my opinion, if you refine your body to our level and then refine your Qi to the acquired fourth level, you will be able to face foreign guns and cannons."

"Master Wang is right. And I think it is easier to refine Qi to the acquired fourth level than to refine body to our level.

This means that as long as we spread the practice of Qigong, in about ten years, China will be able to produce a large number of martial artists with skills like you and me.

In this way, you can serve the country and boost the prestige of our country; you can protect the people and protect the fellow villagers from foreigners and bandits!"

“···”

Although there were only a few dozen Dharma protectors, they talked about this matter with great enthusiasm, and they continued talking for a while before stopping.

Only then did Wu Yue speak again according to Su Yan's message.

"Everyone, the world is undergoing a great change that has not happened in three thousand years. However, due to the isolation of the Manchu Qing government, corruption and incompetence, China has lagged behind foreign countries in science and technology for nearly a hundred years. Even if we are trying to catch up now, I am afraid it will take decades to catch up.

But when the warlords are fighting in the country and the people are in dire straits, our military generation is of no use in governing the people internally or in dealing with foreign powers.

But the resurgence of spiritual energy has made our strength stronger, and there is a broad space for advancement in martial arts, so everything is very different.

If we in China can produce hundreds of martial arts masters like Sun and the two guardians Li who are like land gods, and there are tens of thousands of strong martial arts experts like you guardians, how can we in China be afraid of being bullied by foreign powers anymore?"

"Master Wu is right!" Li Cunyi stood up and applauded Wu Yue, then smiled and said: "But among us here, when it comes to martial arts, I am afraid that Sun and Li are not as good as Master Wu.

One percent, if China can produce a few more figures like Master Wu, even if the guns and guns are not as good as those of foreign countries, they can still deter those foreign bandits!"

At this point, everyone laughed loudly.

This conference was actually a meeting and exchange meeting for Wuji Taoist protectors, so Wu Yue’s speech ended not long after.

After that, the guardians exchanged their martial arts opinions with each other.

After the meeting, when all the protectors left, Wu Yue asked Wang Yuehua and Zhou Qing to give each protector a bottle of Pei Yuan Dan as a gift.

As long as the Qi refining does not reach the fifth or sixth level, and the body refining does not reach the stage of marrow cleansing and blood exchange, Xiao Pei Yuan Dan will have some tonifying effect.

And for the martial arts disciples of these people, the effect of Xiao Pei Yuan Dan will be more obvious.

Wu Yue gave Pei Yuan Dan to the protectors not only as a gift, but also in the hope of promoting Xiao Pei Yuan Dan through these relationships with the protectors.

After the guardians left one after another, while Wu Yue and others were still in Wuji Courtyard, a group of uninvited guests came over.

"The girl is Master Wu, right? We are ordered by Commander-in-Chief Duan to ask Master Wu to go to Beijing." A major officer of the Beiyang Army said to Wu Yue while holding a piece of military order.

Behind this major officer, there was a group of Beiyang soldiers.

Just after the officer spoke, the two disciples from the outer courtyard who were responsible for guarding the gate ran over and said with ugly faces: "Master, there are Beiyang soldiers outside, and they have surrounded the other courtyard!"
