/p> On the top of Hengshan Mountain, there is a small temple without a gold plaque. Outside the temple is a towering old cypress, lush and green, with a strong ancient feel.
The lights inside and outside the small temple were bright, and lanterns were hung up. Outside the temple, there were more than a dozen men and women who looked like servants and maids, gathering in twos and threes, whispering.
There were five or six men drinking in the temple. Their ages ranged from weak to mature. Their faces were flushed and they were laughing loudly. Unsealed wine jars were scattered all over the floor. These men should be from serious noble families.
They talked well, criticized the current affairs, and messed around. During this period, there was a man who drank to his heart's content and even bared his chest and belly, raised his glass high, turned to look at the clay statue of Qing Niangniang in the shrine, and laughed: "You are
I am not afraid of gods or ghosts. As long as you dare to reveal your true identity, I dare to invite you to have a drink together! Haha, Qing Niang, if you are really willing to step down from the altar tonight, it will definitely be a good news in the future.
Good talk, the incense will only become more and more prosperous, I will do it first to respect you!"
The man who smelled of alcohol burped and trembled. He raised his head and took a sip of wine, most of which spilled on his body and the ground.
Friends around her kept teasing and joking, and some even got drunk and lustful. Some people threatened to take down the statue of the Qing Niang Niang, and they would sleep with the statue together tonight, and the gods and men would have a romantic dream together. This was a truly beautiful conversation.
These disrespectful words caused even greater laughter.
There was an inaudible sigh in the small temple.
A gust of breeze blew, and everyone was enjoying their drinking without noticing anything unusual.
————
Halfway up the mountain, Chen Ping'an, who was practicing the sword furnace, was moved. He looked down and saw someone on the ground carrying a branch. It was a remnant of the Lu family named Xie Xie.
Chen Ping'an was about to leave the branch when he saw the girl looking up and smiling brightly, shaking the branch, her voice naturally soft and sweet, "You don't have to come down, we can chat up there."
I saw the girl starting to run lightly, tiptoeing a little, leaping high, stepping on a big tree, then ejecting backwards, stepping on another tree, and so on, her body kept getting higher and higher.
After several steps, she arrived on a branch near the big tree where Chen Ping'an stood. She looked like a practicing practitioner.
Xie Xie sat sideways on a branch, swayed his feet, and said with a smile: "You are a martial artist, and I am a Qi practitioner. We are different. In the eyes of Qi practitioners who have higher eyesight, those who practice martial arts are like that
For people who have no talent for cultivating, the reason why they practice martial arts is just the second best choice. Since your martial arts is divided into nine realms, you are ridiculed as the ninth class. It is a bit like a monk who regards himself as a pure class and regards martial arts as a lowly disciple.
Officer, in the end both of us were disgusted with each other and both felt it was an eyesore."
Chen Pingan asked: "Why did Miss Xie tell me this?"
She put the branch in her hand across her lap and said straight to the point: "Cui Dongshan is probably really desperate. He burned incense in a small temple. He found me in private and said that if I can help him say a few good words in front of you,
Even if you still don't agree to accept him as your student, you will still give me a treasure. Of course I covet his ownerless flying sword, but Cui Dongshan refused. He was only willing to give me a bamboo flute after the matter was completed.
He showed me the shape of the flute. It was a real fish-insect flute. It was once a secret treasure in the palace of the Lu family. It was one of the earliest tokens of the contract between a mountain gate and the founding emperor of the Lu family. I am a woman, so of course I like it.
All the beautiful and eye-catching things in the world are coming to you."
When someone disturbed her, Chen Pingan stopped practicing stake setting and sat on the branch like her, with an upright posture and looked at her, "Thank you, Miss, please continue, I'm listening."
Xie Xie smiled and said, "It's already finished. I talked about the difference between a pure martial artist and a monk on the mountain before, but I was just afraid of being left in the cold and wanted to throw some light on it. To be honest, Cui Dongshan hit the wall with you time and time again. I usually watched with cold eyes.
I will feel very relieved. When it is my turn to talk to you, I will have a headache. I am afraid that if you reject me without listening to anything, then the fish and insect flute that I am about to get will have wings and fly away."
Chen Pingan nodded and said: "If Cui Dongshan asks, I will prove that Miss Xie you have already asked for mercy. If possible, can Miss Xie tell you something about martial arts?"
The girl squinted her eyes and looked at the young man's face, as if she wanted to see through the young man's base at a glance, and said softly: "I just heard about martial arts, there is nothing I can't say. The reason why I know these superficial things is because of practice
The lower five realms of Qi Shi, nourishing and refining qi, actually still cannot escape the realm of skin, flesh, muscles and bones, which is why it is called the 'lower five realms'."
She stretched out a finger and pointed at several places on Chen Ping'an's body, "There are more than 300 Qifu acupoints in the human body, connected to each other like a mountain range. The first level of martial arts for you to enter the Mud Embryo Realm is to find that one.
Tone, and then help it find the Qifu acupoints that are most suitable for habitat and warmth. The level of talent can be reflected here. Someone should have told you about this, right?"
Chen Ping'an was listening to the girl's story attentively. After hearing her question, he replied: "I have heard people talk about this before, but I don't mind hearing it a few more times, so thank you, Miss, please continue talking and don't worry about me.
Have you heard of it?"
The girl subconsciously tapped the branches lightly, raised her chin slightly, and looked at a place higher than Chen Ping'an. "The so-called martial arts genius, firstly, can find the aura at an extremely young age. Secondly, it selects the Qifu acupoints.
, it is not an uncommon location, but some key acupuncture points, which have an innate advantage, just like some people occupy a small dirt bag in the wilderness, or a mass grave that no one cares about, and some people occupy the Hongzhu Town, which is a land and water hub.
, there will be people who directly occupy the Great Li Capital City. The scenes of the three are naturally different. The third is the thickness, density, length, and length of the breath itself. Otherwise, let your Qi Mansion be located in the Great Li Capital City.
, but if you don’t have the ability to tap your potential, it’s meaningless. Can you understand how to describe it like this?”
Chen Ping'an said: "It's still understandable."
"The natal flying sword that Cui Dongshan called before means that the sword cultivator among us Qi practitioners, the flying sword warmed up in the natal orifice, merges with the sword cultivator's soul, and the natal flying sword comes out of the body to kill the enemy.
, that is, the sword of essence will turn into nothingness when it returns to the acupoint, which is very mysterious. My master once said that in fact, the acupoints of a person's Qi Palace can be regarded as a blessed land under the sky, and they are innately endowed with "square-inch" supernatural powers.
, so I practice hard the day after tomorrow, and once the joints are opened, everything, whether it is the natal flying sword or other magic weapons, can be accommodated in it no matter how big you are like a mountain."
"The second level of your martial arts is to use your natal acupoints as the starting point and start to expand the roads in all directions, turning the originally rugged and narrow meridians into spacious post roads and official roads. Why are there so many martial arts categories in the world?
?The reason is that the method of opening a mountain is different. Where does it start, which road to take, and how to take shortcuts? Each family has secrets that are not passed down to others. For example, the meridians opened by martial artists practicing boxing are the same as those of swords, guns, swords and halberds.
It's different. Chen Ping'an, I can see that you are laying the foundation in the second level now. No wonder you have to practice boxing, walking and stance diligently every day. With your speed, I believe you can be in the second level soon.
Three realms. By the way, may I know where your natal acupoint is?"
Chen Pingan shook his head and said: "No."
The girl wrinkled her nose and muttered: "Stingy."
However, when she thought of the tragic experience of Cui Han, a young man from the Great Li Kingdom, the girl immediately felt that with a character like Chen Pingan's, it was normal for him to reject her. A temper like Chen Pingan's, to put it harshly, is called a stone in a pit, smelly and
Hard, to put it nicely, means one has a tough mind and is unbreakable.
Chen Pingan suddenly asked: "Why did Miss Xie say that I can reach the third realm soon?"
Xie blurted out: "You martial arts practitioners only rely on one breath. In the final analysis, you are exchanging killing power at the cost of harming your body. As long as you want to prolong your life, you must reach the sixth realm as early as possible. You can nourish yourself every day."
The soul and the will of the soul feed back the body. If you stay in the second and third realms for too long, the innate true energy will become more and more exhausted. Every time you fight with someone and get seriously injured, it is a rush of vitality, so you will train yourself to death by practicing boxing.
Fools, there are countless in the world. Even martial arts practitioners from wealthy families can soak the body with precious medicinal materials to heal injuries, but they still treat the symptoms rather than the root cause and cannot really benefit a person's soul. Although martial arts are not high, they cannot achieve enlightenment.
Immortality, but once you reach the pinnacle of martial arts and reach the ninth realm or even the legendary real end, the tenth realm, it is not difficult to live for one or two hundred years."
Chen Pingan retorted: "This is not entirely correct. People with good talents can be quick. People with poor qualifications like me are more likely to make mistakes the more anxious they are. It is better to take it step by step and make no mistakes every time.
Every step is useful, not to mention that I am not practicing martial arts to pursue those high realms, it is just... to strengthen my body."
When Chen Ping'an spoke, he changed his words to a more reserved one. In fact, to be precise, Chen Ping'an was practicing boxing to risk his life.
After the Changsheng Bridge was secretly destroyed by Cai Jinjian in a vicious way, Chen Ping'an's body was also uncomfortable in addition to the blockage of his cultivation path, dead lips and cold teeth. Afterwards, in the battle of Qidun Mountain, he suffered serious damage, and the little life span he finally gained was increased.
, wiped it all away, but fortunately, he went all the way south and accumulated some wealth by relying on a large number of walking and standing posts every day. He can already clearly feel the improvement of his body, just like the body of a broken house with air leakage from all sides.
After all, sewing and mending will still be useful.
The girl smiled and said: "The speed of martial arts training varies from person to person. If you feel that it is better to practice slowly and steadily, I think there is no problem."
Thank you. As a Qi practitioner, I have only a limited understanding of martial arts. She is often used to applying Qi training to martial arts. Although her vision is higher than Zhu He's, many details are definitely not as good as those of Zhu He, a fifth-level martial artist.
, is accurate and thorough. What's more, Zhu He was personally praised as a "Master" by the ancestor of the Li family in Fulu Street, and his evaluation was far above that of famous teachers, which shows how powerful Zhu He is. However, Zhu He is limited by the fact that he is located in a small corner.
Zhenli's heritage, like most of the martial arts people in the martial arts world, firmly believes that the martial arts master who firmly believes in the ninth realm has come to an end, so he calls the ninth realm the end.
In fact, there is a tenth realm above the nine realms. The difference between the ninety realms is very large, even greater than the gap between the sixth realm and the ninth realm.
If martial arts is not related to the Dao, even if the physical body is tempered to be stronger than the Buddhist Vajra Invincible, it is still difficult to achieve great success. At least the life span is short, which is a real bottleneck.
Because of this, in the eyes of Qi practitioners, those who practice martial arts are those who have no talent for cultivation and have no choice but to settle for the next best thing. Because martial arts is divided into nine realms, they are teased as the lower nine realms, monks are called Qingliu, and martial artists are called Qingliu.
As subordinates, both sides looked at each other with disgust and found it an eyesore.
If martial arts is not related to the Dao, even if the physical body is tempered to be stronger than the Buddhist Vajra Invincible, it will still be difficult to make a big difference. After a hundred years, it will become decrepit, and after two hundred years, it will still be insignificant withered bones.
One pair.
Chen Ping'an asked curiously: "Thank you, girl, you Qi practitioners, as free and easy gods on the mountain, also need to exercise your body like martial arts practitioners?"
Back in the small town, Ning Yao reminded him that people like Cai Jinjian of Yunxia Mountain and Fu Nanhua of Old Dragon City, even though they were bound by the forbidden rules of magic in the small town, their physical toughness was far beyond that of ordinary people, and they could be beaten to death with one punch.
Chen Ping'an is very relaxed, but if Chen Ping'an doesn't hit the vital point, it will be difficult to kill the opponent.
After hearing the words "carefree and free", the girl twitched her lips, her smart eyes were full of bitterness. After hiding her discouragement, she patiently explained: "Nursing and refining qi is the most important thing, physical fitness can only be regarded as smooth.
Why, well, it’s not appropriate to say this. How should I put it? A porcelain bowl cannot hold ten kilograms of wine, but a priceless square inch object, the size of a porcelain bowl, can hold hundreds of kilograms of wine. We practice Qi
A warrior must pull the vitality of heaven and earth to pour it, sharpen the skin, flesh, muscles, bones and blood of the body, and make the porcelain bowl stronger. If the skin of a warrior is too delicate and fragile, it will definitely ruin the matter of immortality."
After saying this, the girl had no intention of continuing the conversation and began to remain silent. She turned to look at the scenery beyond Hengshan Mountain under the moonlight.
Chen Pingan did not disturb the girl's thoughts.
Of course Chen Ping'an, who didn't have much ink in his stomach, couldn't express the words "Jiao Qian Yan Shen Shen", but of course he understood the truth.
Therefore, Chen Pingan would never reveal a word about the acupoints and aura wandering around his body to outsiders.
The sword energy taught by A Liang has been running for eighteen times, and he is even more tight-lipped.
In fact, the qi energy that was swimming like a fire dragon in the body changed its previous hesitant situation and finally chose two qi mansions as its habitat, one above and one below. One of the "mansions" was Qidun Mountain.
After killing the white python with my own hands, I found the acupoint where the sword energy disappeared. When the sword energy left, the energy quickly settled in it as if I had found a treasure, and stayed there for much longer than the acupoint near the lower Dantian.
To be continued...
