Hengshan Mountain, also known as Nanyue, is one of the Five Mountains in China. It is located in Hengshan County, Hunan Province. Due to the pleasant climate here, Hengshan Mountain is full of lush forests and bamboos, which are green all year round, and there are many exotic flowers and plants that bloom all year round. The scenery is very beautiful. Moreover,
Yuelu Mountain to the north of Hengshan Mountain is also a famous Taoist mountain in China, especially Yuelu Academy and Yunlu Palace.
It has been more than half a month since Zhou Hao and Xiao Jiming came to Hengshan, Hunan, because several herbs recorded in "Shen Nong's Hundred Herbs" grow here. During this time, Zhou Hao and Xiao Jiming have also found these herbs.
, and Zhou Hao and Xiao Jiming also stayed directly in Yunlu Palace on Yuelu Mountain during this period.
The Taoist priests in Yunlu Palace were also very enthusiastic towards both of them. On the one hand, it was because Zhou Hao bought a lot of sesame oil money for Yunlu Palace, and on the other hand, because everyone in Yunlu Palace studied martial arts and followed Zhou Hao.
Hao and the others have similar interests.
On weekdays, they also consult each other on martial arts. The most fundamental purpose of the "Yangqi Lu" practiced by Zhou Hao is to strengthen the body through nourishing qi and concentrating the mind, and to resist insults and enemies. This is very similar to the way Taoism achieves physical and mental sublimation through maintaining health and strengthening the body.
Although the martial arts of Yunlu Palace can only be regarded as average, and the martial arts of its disciples are not even comparable to Xiao Jiming. But the Taoist martial arts concepts have benefited Zhou Hao a lot, especially Tai Chi, the most famous Taoist martial arts.
Hao used to only think that it was a gymnastics exercise for the elderly to keep fit, but now he has discovered that Tai Chi is really profound and profound. It is not difficult to learn or even master it, but it is not so easy to understand its ideas.
At this time, Zhou Hao and Xiao Jiming were sitting in a courtyard to the north of Yunlu Palace. There was no wall here and it was directly connected to the bamboo forest outside. Zhou Hao and Xiao Jiming were leaving Hengshan for Hubei tomorrow.
So today is their last day in Yunlu Palace.
"Wudang Mountain and Jiugong Mountain in Hubei are both Taoist holy places. If you go there, you can visit them." In the bamboo forest, an old man in his seventies wearing an old Taoist robe was wielding a hatchet to chop down those things.
bamboo.
"Shan Bo, what about you? Have you ever been to Wudang Mountain and Jiugong Mountain?" Zhou Hao asked the old man named "Shan Bo".
"Me?" Shan Bo smiled and continued to chop the bamboo in front of him, "I have lived here for more than 40 years and have never been down the mountain. Let alone Wudang Mountain, I have not even been to the market at the foot of the mountain.
Pass."
Zhou Hao and Zhou Hao have known Shan Bo since the first day they stayed at Yunlu Palace. He has lived in Yunlu Palace for decades, but he is not a Taoist here, but a worker in Yunlu Palace.
He is responsible for chopping firewood and cooking. For more than half a month, he has been responsible for Zhou Hao and Xiao Jiming's daily life and food.
He cut down those bamboos to make bamboo baskets and other utensils for Yunlu Palace. Although he was over seventy years old, Shan Bo was still strong. Although his hair was gray, his face was as rosy as a mature man.
Zhou Hao, who was sitting in the yard, had been paying attention to him for a long time, and found that Shan Bo could chop down even those tall bamboo trees as thick as a bowl. Since this morning, Shan Bo never used a second knife to chop down trees.
And the one in his hand was just an ordinary hatchet, with many chips on the blade.
"Uncle Shan, your sword skills are so powerful." Zhou Haoyi said pointedly.
Shan Bo smiled faintly and said, "It's just cutting down trees, what kind of sword skills are there?"
Zhou Hao didn't say anything, just silently watching Shan Bo chop bamboo. Today was the first time he saw Shan Bo chop trees, but he found that his technique contained deep mysteries. Looking from a distance, Shan Bo's movements
It was like drawing a "circle". Whether it was the waving of the arms, the change of steps or the trajectory of the hatchet, they all formed faint "circles". Zhou Hao felt that Shan Bo's whole person was like the image of the Tai Chi Yin and Yang fish.
Similar.
Unknowingly, Shan Bo's movements reappeared in Zhou Hao's mind one by one, and Zhou Hao's spirit also moved with Shan Bo's movements. The more he observed, the more Zhou Hao felt that this was a set-up.
A mysterious and extraordinary sword technique. There are no gorgeous moves and no intimidating momentum. Zhou Hao even felt that Shan Bo's sword was swung with the flow of the air.
Everything is so natural, yes, Shan Bo seems to be integrated with nature.
Moreover, watching Shan Bo's movements of swinging the sword, the true energy of "Yang Qi Lu" in Zhou Hao's body started to flow automatically. Finally, Zhou Hao couldn't help but stand up and came to Shan Bo, smiled at him and said: "Shan Bo
, can you let me try?"
"You should have come over to help a long time ago. Just watch me, an old man, working over there. You can feel good about it." Shan Bo smiled and handed the hatchet in his hand to Zhou Hao.
Zhou Hao took the hatchet and looked at the hatchet with many gaps. Yes, it was just an ordinary hatchet.
Following Shan Bo's movements and following the flow of the air, Zhou Hao raised his knife and slashed downwards at a bamboo in front of him.
With a "pop" sound, the bamboo fell down.
However, although Zhou Hao also cut the bamboo with one knife, half of it was due to his own brute force, and the cut was far less neat than Shan Bo's.
Shan Bo smiled and shook his head, "That won't work. Not only do your movements have to be smooth, you also have to know the bamboo and find the best place to cut." He looked deeply at the bamboo next to him, and then said to Zhou Hao
Said: "You have to feel it. It is said that only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in every battle. You cannot rely on brute force alone. Also, pay more attention to the flow of the wind and let it become your boost."
"Try again." Shan Bo said to Zhou Hao.
Zhou Hao took a deep breath, then slowed down his breathing, quietly feeling the flow of air around him and the bamboo in front of him. At this time, he seemed to find a circular trajectory appearing in front of his eyes, and he couldn't help but follow it.
As this track was cut down, there was only a soft sound, and the bamboo in front of me broke neatly and fell down with a crash.
Shan Bo looked at Zhou Hao with dazzling eyes, "You are so talented, you have mastered the trick so quickly."
Zhou Hao smiled and said, "But it's still far behind Shan Bo."
"Hahahahaha... As long as you have been chopping firewood for decades like me, you will also have this skill."
Then, Shan Bo told Zhou Hao some secrets. Although Shan Bo never taught Zhou Hao any moves from beginning to end, Zhou Hao believed that, like Tai Chi, it was a teaching of martial arts concepts.
Bo's inspiration to him is even comparable to that of Dr. Gongsun who introduced him to martial arts. It is tantamount to opening another door for Zhou Hao.
Zhou Hao and Xiao Jiming didn't have much luggage, so it was easy to come and go. After saying goodbye to the Taoist priests at Yunlu Palace, they left.
On the way down the mountain, Xiao Jiming asked Zhou Hao: "Uncle Master, do you think Uncle Shan really knows martial arts?"
Zhou Hao shook his head, "I don't know, he doesn't have a trace of internal strength in his body, he doesn't even know how to do Tai Chi." He looked up at Hengshan Mountain shrouded in clouds and mist, "But I think there are people with the highest martial arts cultivation up and down Hengshan Mountain.
It’s Shan Bo.”
Xiao Jiming scratched his head, "I can't even understand the way you chopped firewood just now. Is that really a knife technique?"
"It's not just a sword technique." Zhou Hao sighed: "You can even think that it is another kind of martial arts mentality." He raised his hands and waved them according to Shanbo's method just now, even if there was no knife in his hand, or it was originally
There is no need for a knife or other foreign objects. Zhou Hao's movements are still smooth and smooth, drawing "circles" one after another.
In Xiao Jiming's view, Zhou Hao's movements are somewhat similar to Tai Chi, but also somewhat different.
The strong zhenqi in Zhou Hao's body also began to flow with the movements of his hands. When the "circle" on Zhou Hao's hand was pushed out, the zhenqi in his body also had the urge to leak out.
"Chi!" When Zhou Hao's palm passed through the air, a burst of energy came out of his palm, piercing the air and hitting a pine tree in the distance. And that tree looked to be decades old.
The pines and cypresses fell straight down like this, and the cuts were so neat that it was difficult to achieve this effect even with a sharp knife.
Not only Xiao Jiming, but also Zhou Hao himself was stunned. Zhou Hao looked at his palms blankly. Obviously, he himself had not thought of such an effect. Xiao Jiming also murmured: "Could it be that
…Could this be the legendary ‘sword energy’?”
Zhou Hao believes that the so-called sword energy is actually formed by a person with high internal strength pouring his own true energy into the sword. As long as the internal energy is deep enough, it is not difficult to do it. However, the Mr. Shengong whom he met earlier, even if he
There is no sword in his hand, but Zhou Hao can still feel the sword energy in his hand. However, it is not so much the sword energy, but rather a kind of "sword intention". Only those who have been immersed in sword skills for many years and have
Only what you understand can be possessed.
And what Shan Bo taught Zhou Hao just now was not any moves or sword skills, but a kind of martial arts spirit, which is somewhat similar to Mr. Shengu's sword intention.
Shan Bo didn't have a trace of internal strength in his body, but he was able to exert such power with an old hatchet. This was actually due to his "sword intention".
"The knowledge of martial arts is really broad and profound." Zhou Hao said with emotion. He had fully unleashed his potential due to the transformation of ambergris fruit, so no matter what he learned, it was much easier than others, just like when he practiced "
"Yangqi Record", in just over half a month, his cultivation is much deeper than that of Dr. Gongsun, who has been immersed in this Tao all his life, and his internal strength is comparable to that of ordinary people who have practiced hard for a hundred years.
With such a deep and solid foundation, and now experiencing the "sword intent" taught by Shan Bo, Zhou Hao's cultivation in martial arts has become deeper and his realm has reached a higher level.
When he arrived at the foot of the mountain, Zhou Hao called his home to report to Yan Tong that he was safe.
"When do you plan to come back?" Yan Tong asked on the phone.
"About a month." Zhou Hao replied.
Yan Tong said: "Your school has prepared early exams for you. Come back as soon as possible."
While chatting with Zhou Hao, Yan Tong accidentally mentioned Li Ruolan, "I haven't seen ****** during this time. I thought of asking the school to help you extend your leave a few days ago, but the school
He said that ****** hasn’t come back yet, and I heard that he also asked for leave from the school.”
"What? Sister Lan...****** hasn't returned to school yet?" Zhou Hao was stunned. Hengshan, also known as Nanyue, is one of the Five Mountains in China and is located in Hengshan County, Hunan Province. Due to the pleasant climate here, Hengshan
There are lush forests and bamboos everywhere, green all year round, and many exotic flowers and plants that bloom all year round. The scenery is very beautiful.
