"In fact, the boundary between martial arts and Taoism is not as clear as we think."
"I even have a guess that cannot be verified for the time being. Every Talisman monk on the mountain is born with the bones of a warrior in the Golden Body realm."
"To learn boxing, you must first understand yourself. Under the Zhao tree, we will start from the simplest breathing, just like looking down at the mountains and rivers from a cactus."
Chen Pingan neither taught Zhao Shuxia the boxing stance nor rushed to teach Zhao Shuxia the boxing. Instead, he left seven pictures of human acupuncture points in the bamboo building, corresponding to Chen Pingan's own martial arts from three to nine. Realm, different scenes of the small world of the human body. The portraits deliberately erased the flesh and bones, leaving only acupuncture points and meridians, which are as tall as a human being. There are more than a thousand acupoints in the Qi Palace, which is far more than the average person who practices Taoism realizes. As for the acupuncture wooden figures in the market medicine shops, they are naturally even more incomparable. The seven pictures, with different acupuncture points, are dotted around, with flashing lights and different colors. They make the whole bamboo house shine brightly, as if they are hanging in the sky. The brilliant star map in the void.
With every breath of "Chen Ping'an" in the seven portraits, many strange phenomena such as the Milky Way upside down, white rainbows crossing the sky, stars pulling and rotating each other, etc. appear in the seven star-studded heaven and earth.
Each portrait is like a colorful star formation. The lower the realm of "Chen Pingan", the faster the breathing and the shorter the interval, so the changes in the star map are greater, as if the whole world is following one person's every move. It expands and contracts every time you breathe, and the cycle seems to be endless. The higher the realm, the more stable the star chart is, but once you take a closer look, you will find that in fact it is just the opposite.
Chen Pingan clasped his hands behind his back and said slowly: "These human acupuncture points are clearly recorded in medical books and Taoist books from all over the world, and are regarded as key to the Qi Palace. Apart from those with different names but actually the same acupoint locations, I have collected and summarized them. After so many years, I think the error will not be too big. In fact, there are only about 700. If we add in the various secrets of various sects and the 'secret realm' found unintentionally, I will go through the secret files of the summer palace and the Confucian Temple. The records of Gong De Lin have added nearly a hundred acupuncture points that seem to have been reduced to relics and forgotten by people. Some of them are indeed recognized as useless qi palaces. After repeated verification, they were gradually abandoned by qi practitioners. However, many acupuncture points, qi practitioners I wanted to 'open a mansion', but the threshold was too high, so I was ignored and lost. In addition, someone once temporarily lent me a Taoist method of the Fourteenth Level, and there were a lot more. You see, this Qifu has the largest number of acupuncture points. In the seventh picture, there are a total of more than 1,500 acupuncture points. Therefore, a martial artist's pure Qi can travel longer, so it can affect more of the vitality of the human body, heaven and earth, and integrate it into the fist, so the punch will naturally be heavier. "
Back then in Mubo Alley, Chen Pingan had just obtained the Shanshanquan manual. Song Jixin and his maid Zhigui left Lizhu Cave and threw a bunch of keys to him. Finally, Chen Pingan was in the kitchen of the house next door. It was found that a split wooden figure was left behind, which was covered with acupuncture points and meridians. For Chen Pingan, who was just learning boxing at the beginning, the boxing rules were used to climb high. Then Chen Pingan put it back together again. The wooden figures are hatchets and mountain axes.
In fact, Chen Pingan knew at that time that Zhigui did it on purpose, because she knew very well that if it were a complete wooden figure, Chen Pingan would definitely not pick up the tatters and leave, and maybe he would not even look at it a second time, but this If this was done, Chen Ping'an would definitely be willing to move back to his ancestral home next door with his money-obsessed nature and thrifty family management, and study the knowledge in detail with a tattered boxing book that he regarded as a guide.
Zhi Gui, the former maid of Mu Ping Lane, and later the True Dragon King Zhu of the East China Sea, met Chen Pingan several times, but she never mentioned a word about it. Maybe she just pretended it didn't happen, or maybe
She had long forgotten.
But Chen Ping'an always kept it in mind.
Chen Pingan asked: "How many do you remember?"
Zhao Shuxia closed his eyes and opened them again, and said: "I can roughly remember the locations of more than 700 acupuncture points."
Chen Pingan nodded, suddenly reached out his arm, and struck out with lightning, his palm gently pressed against Zhao Shuxia's neck, and with a casual flick, Zhao Shuxia slid out of a circle in the bamboo house, and waited until Zhao Shuxia returned to his original position.
, was horrified to find that there were dozens of astrological charts "under the Zhao tree" standing on this circle. Chen Pingan glanced at them casually, looking at the "copies" of the human body, heaven and earth and the flow of energy under the Zhao tree.
, Chen Pingan nodded for no reason and said with a smile: "This is the right way to teach boxing. I feel more confident."
Teaching a disciple like Zhao Shuxia gives you a sense of accomplishment.
Chen Pingan put his fingers together and pointed at one of the stars. He was very fast and marked the names of three to four hundred acupuncture points in an instant. They were all the passes passed by Zhao Shu's martial arts energy "Fire Dragon Walking Water".
, Mansion, it was like accurately drawing a map of Kanyu's situation, and then asked Zhao Shuxia to hold his breath and try to walk the pile in six steps. After that, Chen Ping'an copied another map of Kanyu, waved his sleeves, and the two star maps overlapped.
In one, Chen Ping'an said: "You can take a closer look at the difference between the two. First observe the skill of burning an incense stick, and then do the six-step walk. If there is no obvious improvement, I can ask the old cook to prepare the herbal medicine."
And buckets.”
After burning the incense, Zhao lay on the ground under the tree and passed out. Chen Pingan shouted: "Zhu Lian, start work."
The rickety old man immediately shouted loudly: "It's coming, it's coming, it's been prepared."
Zhu Lian came to the second floor of the Bamboo House, looked under the tree of Zhao who was neither covered in blood nor convulsing and "walking around", and sighed: "Young Master is still kind-hearted."
Chen Ping'an carried Zhao Shuxia down to the second floor and went to the house of this closed disciple. He explained: "The heartstrings are always tense under the tree. Today is not the right time to teach more boxing. Take your time. You think I should be blamed."
who?"
Who let Zhao Shuxia know the meaning of the word "closed door" early on?
Zhu Lian immediately exposed himself, "You must blame me for leaking the secret in advance."
Chen Pingan was speechless for a moment.
Zhu Lian laughed softly and said: "Sir, forget it today, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, there is no time to practice boxing without half-death."
Logically speaking, if it were Cui Cheng, Zhao Shuxia would never be able to get out of the bamboo house after seven or eight times of life and death, fainting and then beating him to wake up, beating him to wake up and then passing out again.
However, in Zhu Lian's view, if Zhao Shuxia, as a close disciple of Chen Ping'an, could really learn boxing from Cui Cheng, who was two generations behind him, he would not necessarily be in such a bleak situation. There is no reason to argue about marrying across generations.
Chen Pingan nodded, "For a while, I really can't be cruel, so I am also adjusting my mentality."
Zhu Lian sighed softly. When the young master learned boxing, only Nuan Shu and Chen Ling were aware of the details. But later when Pei Qian learned boxing, Zhu Lian saw it from beginning to end, not to mention what was going on on the second floor.
Pei Qian had suffered a lot. He just said that back then, Xiao Heitan often lowered her head to eat. When she raised her head again, her eyes and ears would ooze with blood. Pei Qian himself was often unaware of it, but instead grinned. You see
What are you looking at? What are you looking at? Let’s eat!
I estimate that if the young master saw these scenes with his own eyes, he would be heartbroken, not to mention distressed, and he would definitely go to Zhulou to fight Cui Cheng desperately.
Chen Pingan suddenly asked: "When are you going to ask me about boxing? Give me a time and place?"
Zhu Lian rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "If you don't take the initiative to ask, Master, I would be embarrassed to mention it."
Chen Pingan smiled and said: "Why are you being polite to me? I won't be polite to you when you ask about boxing."
The implication is that Chen Ping'an will never compromise his situation.
After all, Zhu Lian is a mountaintop state who is only one layer of window paper away from the end. (Note 1)
Zhu Lian thought for a while, "Then choose this winter, a season of heavy snow, and the location is the capital of Nanyuan Kingdom in the Lotus Root Blessed Land?"
Chen Pingan nodded and said: "Okay."
By coincidence, Luopo Mountain received a message from Feijian that Fanmo Dragon Boat and Fengyuan Ferry would arrive at Niujiao Ferry within one day, but it took about an hour.
In addition to Xiaomili, Chen Ping'an also called Hong Xia, Yunzi, and Cui Huahua from Qilong Lane. They would follow the Feng Yuan ferry to Beiju Luzhou, and they would first cross the continent to reach the Pima Sect of Bone Beach.
Then follow the southeast coastal route, stop at Chunlupu, then go along Jidu to the ferry under the Yunxiao Palace of Chongxuan Department in the middle, and go south to Yunshang City... Although it is a long trip by ferry, it can still be considered a trip.
Half of Beiju is in Luzhou. Just like Hongxia doesn't care at the moment, Yunzi and the girl Cui Huahua are quite happy. As for the latter, they are even more happy. Of course, they can still have a reunion soon and see the long-lost person again.
The eldest brother who has reunited and recognized his family is now the head of the same clan. She, the younger sister, wakes up laughing when she goes to bed recently.
There was still some time before the dragon boat ferry docked, so Chen Ping'an and his party went to visit their own shop. Xiao Mili and the nuns with fish-backed nuns were very familiar with each other, and they greeted each other warmly.
Baofengzhai left many buildings on Niujiao Mountain, which consumed a lot of Xianjia jade and wood. Wu Shou, as Baofengzhai’s talker in Aquarius Continent, obviously originally wanted to use Dali Niujiao Ferry as a base camp.
It worked well, but the result was like digging a well and running away halfway. No wonder the old patriarch Zhang Zhi deliberately took him to Xiandu Mountain and had tea at Qingshandu. He probably didn't have a man who had been there for a hundred years.
Cultivating one's moral character and nourishing one's nature, Wu Shou's Taoist heart cannot be relieved.
Today, less than one-third of the shops are open for business. In addition to the various mountain vegetation cultivated in Chunlu Garden, there are also precious orchids similar to those from Lanfang Country. The old cook specially compiled an orchid book for this purpose.
I heard that books sell better than orchids.
In addition, there are various antique calligraphy and paintings, and miscellaneous utensils, and the prices are not low, but the shop can guarantee that they are all genuine. There are also a lot of treasures that Ma Duyi has carefully collected, and they are all stored here for sale. She is an out-and-out
I'm a money addict, so I poured all my savings into it. I made many mistakes and made mistakes, but overall I still made a lot of money.
Just like Liu Xia, Guan Qing, and Bai Que, the female cultivators from Zhuchai Island whom Chen Ping'an met earlier at Cheerfish Back, almost all of Liu Chongrun's direct disciples had worked part-time here to help the shop buy things, and all of them were unpaid.
, Zhao Luan and Tian Jiuer will often come here to help. The little plan of Nalan Jade has inherited the fine tradition of the family. At a young age, she wanted to have her in charge of the business of a building. Anyway, it is vacant.
She has so many shops. Before opening, she will sign a contract with Luo Luo Shan to guarantee a minimum profit. Any losses will be hers, and the profits will be divided.
Every time he passes this Niujiao Ferry, Chen Ping'an can't help but think of the old man named Hong Yangbo at the Xianjia Ferry in Dilongshan and Qingfufang.
Last time I made a special trip to Qingfufang, Chen Pingan spent five small summer coins to buy a copy of "Xizai Tie", which is extremely close to the original.
The copybook begins with five words, "Xi Zai Jian Qi is sparse".
For children, what it means to grow up is to be able to eat whatever they want regardless of their parents.
For adults, what it means to be rich is to be able to buy whatever you want without looking at the price.
Going to Niujiao Ferry, Chen Pingan glanced at the "eye-catching" wooden sign standing on the roadside and nodded. Zhou Junchen was still very diligent and did not delay at all.
Now there are two sects, Shangxia Sect, and they own three ferries. The earliest one is Dragon Boat Fanmo, then Fengyuan Ferry, and later Liu Jubao, Yu Panshui and Guanli Qingping Sword Sect jointly sent out a ferry named "Tongyin"
, the quality is comparable to that of a dragon boat. Although it is not a giant ferry that can cross continents, it can cross half a continent without any problems, and its cargo capacity is even better than that of a dragon boat that is used as an ornamental ship.
If he hadn't been worried about the suspicion of repaying a favor, Chen Ping'an originally wanted to buy the "Thunder Car" ferry with the Daquan Yao family, or he would have settled for the next best thing and booked the fourth ferry with the Daquan court.
Why don’t you want to take your business to Fuyaozhou?
This has an inherent advantage for Luopo Mountain. This route will pass through Luhua Island, Yulong Sect, and then to Fuyao Continent. What's more, Chen Pingan has something to keep an eye on over there.
In addition, Liu Shen, the owner of the "Nishang" ship, sent an invitation letter, saying that he was the head master of her sect. He had just successfully left seclusion and entered the Yupu realm. He wanted to see if the young hidden official had any
She had time to attend the celebration. Of course, this kind of invitation was just a formality, and Liu Shen was satisfied to get a polite rejection letter, because she knew very well that it was absolutely impossible for Chen Yinguan to cross the sea and go to his sect to watch the ceremony.
Liu Shen's sect is located on an island in the southwest sea of ​​Haoran Tianxia. It was invaded by wild monsters in large numbers. During the war, they all evacuated. Later, they returned to their hometown and replaced the island with a neighboring island to rebuild the Ancestral Hall.
At the Chunbanzhai Council Hall, the female ship owner Liu Shen was a young Jindan with very little qualifications. Among the many ship owners and managers, she was the one with the lowest level, so the seats were placed near Shao Yunyan at the door, but Liu Shen
There is a junior sister who is extremely young, but is a veritable monastic genius. She is a golden elixir earth immortal in her twenties. That is why the newly appointed Yinguan threatened her and was willing to spend two hundred Grain Rain coins or the equivalent in elixir workshop supplies.
, replaced her junior sister and took over the ferry "Nishang". Of course, that tense situation
In the end, no one was killed in Zhang's discussion. Liu Shen and Liu Yu even got jobs as bookkeepers in the lobby.
The Fanmo dragon boat slowly docked, and a child in green swaggered down the deck, his sleeves flying up, and behind him was a girl holding a green bamboo stick.
