Lu Miaozi felt quite sorry when he heard Meng Xiuyuan's answer, but seeing that Meng Xiuyuan had already made up his mind, he did not persuade him further.
The two had known each other for more than ten years, and Lu Miaozi understood Meng Xiuyuan's character to some extent. He understood that although this little brother was a kind-hearted knight, he had never been merciful when facing someone who had committed the most serious crimes.
It was obvious that those members of the Demon Sect had indeed stepped on Meng Xiuyuan's bottom line, which made him no longer willing to use other softer and indirect means to handle the matter besides killing people.
At this moment, Zhang Yong’s shouts suddenly came from outside the house:
"Brother Meng, Mr. Lu, I got back the 'Liuguo Liquid'.
I see there are hares in the forest, do you want me to hunt down a few and bring them back, so we can have them with wine later?"
Although Zhang Yong has a simple and honest mind, he is not a reckless man. Obviously, this shout was to ask the two people talking in the room whether they had finished talking about the key things and whether he needed to avoid it for a while in the name of hunting rabbits.
"Don't bother me, little friend, just bring the wine back.
There is plenty of food in my hut, but hares cannot be used to entertain distinguished guests..."
Lu Miaozi responded loudly outside the house, then turned around and said to Meng Xiuyuan in a slightly lower voice:
"Brother Meng, if you don't mind, please stay in my hut for one more day.
Even if you don't want to be the Holy Master of the Demon Sect, since Brother Xiang has selected you as his successor, the Evil Emperor's relics can naturally be passed on to you.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, I will explain to you the structure of Yang Gong's treasury so that you can take out the relics.
I spent a lot of time designing this treasure house, and the mechanisms are complicated. If I don't explain the details to you clearly, even if you have great martial arts skills, you still won't be able to find the treasure in it..."
Meng Xiuyuan paused after hearing the words, then nodded and thanked Lu Miaozi:
"I also have something to trouble Mr. Lu, but since that's the case, I won't bother you."
…
The banquet was hearty and the guests and hosts were happy.
Although there are no delicacies on the table, in the hands of a connoisseur like Lu Miaozi, ordinary ingredients can burst out with amazing deliciousness.
A few exquisite side dishes, paired with refreshing and mellow fruit wine, made Meng Xiuyuan and Zhang Yong feel that the food they had was on a higher level than the last time they had it at Dong's Restaurant in Luoyang City.
Zhang Yong had Meng Xiuyuan by his side and was warmly entertained by Lu Miaozi, so he had no restrictions and worries. While drinking happily, it didn't take long before he passed out drunk at the table.
The remaining two men, Meng Xiuyuan and Lu Miaozi, drank leisurely and chatted for a long time, until all the jars of "Six Fruit Liquid" had bottomed out. Lu Miaozi finally couldn't help but talk about business again:
"Brother Meng, you may be in danger when you go to Chang'an, so be careful.
Zhu Yuyan, that witch is insidious and shameless. If she concludes that the Yingui Sect is really unable to deal with you, she will definitely spread the news among the Demon Sect that you are the successor of Brother Xiang and possess the relics of the Evil Emperor.
When the time comes, I'm afraid you will become a target of public criticism and become a person that many masters of the magic sect want to get rid of quickly..."
Meng Xiuyuan chuckled when he heard this and looked at Lu Miaozi's slightly blushing face:
"Mr. Lu seems to be drunk, so please rest for a while.
Didn't we talk about this before dinner? My original intention was to attract everyone from the Demon Sect.
If Zhu Yuyan really does this, it will actually help me a lot, and I should thank her."
Lu Miaozi shook his head, forced a serious look on his face, and reminded Meng Xiuyuan:
"I'm not confused, it's just that when I was drinking, it suddenly occurred to me that I had forgotten you to explain the dangers.
The Demon Sect acts strangely and viciously, and uses all possible means to do anything, but it is very different from people like Cihang Jingzhai and the four great holy monks of Buddhism.
Brother Meng can defeat four holy monks on your own, which means that you are already the best master in the world. However, the human body is mortal after all, and the demon sect is very good at poisoning. You have to guard against sneak attacks and such despicable tactics.
I have collected some elixirs to avoid and eliminate poisons. Please take them with you when you set out tomorrow.
There are also my human skin masks. I will also teach you how to use them later. At critical moments, pretending to be someone else and changing your identity will be much less dangerous..."
Meng Xiuyuan's heart warmed when he heard this, and he nodded with a smile. He could hear that Lu Miaozi really cared about him, so even though he had the confidence to deal with this, he did not want to let down the old man's good intentions.
Lu Miaozi was happy just now and drank too much. Now she was drunk. Seeing Meng Xiuyuan nodding, she was still not satisfied. Then she warned:
"The reason why the Demonic Sect has been suppressed by the Buddhist Sect for many years, apart from the fact that they have no official support behind them, is just because they are scattered and difficult to unite, not because they are weak.
In fact, there are many masters from various factions of the Demon Sect, with Shi Zhixuan and Zhu Yuyan as the leaders, which can be regarded as the most powerful force in the world.
If they are really forced by you to join forces, they will be a more difficult enemy to deal with than the so-called four great holy monks of Buddhism.
Simply speaking, the so-called ‘eight masters of the Demon Sect’ are very difficult to deal with.
Needless to say, Zhu Yuyan, the number one ranked ‘Queen of Yin’, is backed by many masters of the Yin Gui sect, and is closely related to Pi Chen, the sixth ranked ‘Demon Dao’.
The second-ranked ‘Evil King’ Shi Zhixuan seems to be alone, but he also has the fifth-ranked ‘Fat Jia’ Anlong as his admirer who loyally follows him.
The third-ranked ‘Demon Commander’ Zhao Deyan may be a little inferior in his own skills, but as the Eastern Turkic National Master, he can mobilize many Turkic masters, and his strength cannot be underestimated.
Fortunately, the three giants dislike each other and cannot join forces, otherwise they may be a force that can sweep the world..."
At the end of Lu Miaozi's words, her voice gradually became low and erratic. It was obvious that she was drunk and was about to fall asleep like Zhang Yong.
Meng Xiuyuan smiled and shook his head, stretched out his hand to help him up, and carried him to the bed in the side hall to rest.
Unexpectedly, just when Meng Xiuyuan turned around and was about to leave, Lu Miaozi suddenly grabbed Meng Xiuyuan's arm and asked drunkenly:
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Meng...Brother Meng, I know that your true energy and physical body are powerful, but if you are not in a state of realm, I am afraid that you will still be facing Shi Zhixuan's "Immortal Seal"
There will be some disadvantages.
According to Ning Daoqi, a warrior must at least reach the 'subtle' level before he can barely cope with the evil king's weird skills..."
Hearing Lu Miaozi suddenly talk about martial arts, Meng Xiuyuan couldn't help but become interested. He didn't see the concept of "subtlety" in "The Great Method of Planting Demons in the Dao Heart", so he couldn't help but be curious for a while, and couldn't help but ask:
"Mr. Lu, what do you mean by the 'subtle' realm?"
Lu Miaozi was already a little unclear because he was drunk at this time, but he was always good at remembering his knowledge, so after being stunned for a while, he still clearly said an answer:
"My martial arts skills are limited and I haven't reached this level yet, but I have heard people say it.
The so-called "into the subtle" probably refers to a realm that is both mysterious and mysterious after being combined with the treasure house hidden in the human body.
Knowing the enemy mentally, predicting danger, and exerting all the power of one's body and true energy are all the benefits of reaching this 'subtle' state..."
Meng Xiuyuan's heart moved slightly when he heard this. He felt that there was a lot of information in Lu Miaozi's short sentence. The so-called "knowing the enemy mentally" and "predicting danger" were a combination of "knowing the spirit" and "the soul" before him.
It has been done for a while.
However, he has not yet reached the threshold of the so-called "exploiting the full power of the physical body and Qi" and does not know how to work hard.
Just when Meng Xiuyuan was confused and wanted to ask more questions, Lu Miaozi had already taken the first step and continued vaguely:
"Of all the demon sects in this world, the only one I can't see through is this 'Evil King'.
This person is very resourceful and ruthless. He is more difficult to deal with than Zhu Yuyan. He may be your most difficult enemy in the future.
After Bi Xiuxin died, he had only one weakness, his daughter Qingxuan.
If you want to deal with him, you can start here, but please be careful not to hurt that innocent child Qingxuan..."
At this point, Lu Miaozi couldn't hold on any longer and immediately fell asleep.
Meng Xiuyuan, who originally wanted to ask him about martial arts, didn't want to bother him anymore, so he had no choice but to shake his head and smile, then turned and left immediately.
…
…
When Zhang Yong opened his eyes again, it was already early the next morning.
"Liuguoye" was indeed a rare wine. When he woke up from a hangover, he didn't feel any headache or discomfort at all. He just drank a pot of tea to quench his thirst and became energetic again.
Subconsciously walking out of the small building, Zhang Yong felt comfortable in the gentle breeze in the forest, the chirping of birds and the fragrance of flowers, and the quiet environment. However, just when he was about to enjoy the beautiful scenery, he suddenly heard a faint rumble coming from the depths of the bamboo forest.
Curiosity drove Zhang Yong through the dense bamboo forest and followed the sound all the way. After a while, he came to an open space deep in the bamboo forest and stopped involuntarily, his eyes widening.
The scene before him made Zhang Yong wonder if he was still drunk and dreaming.
Meng Xiuyuan was seen holding a boulder about ten feet square in his left hand and raising it above his head. His arms stretched and contracted, and he kept throwing the boulder up and down with great force. But in his right hand, he was twisting a thin bamboo branch, using very gentle movements.
The tactful movements use a set of Tai Chi swordsmanship, and the artistic conception has a long history.
Such weird and surprising behavior shocked Zhang Yong's nerves, and he didn't know for a moment whether he should lament that Meng Xiuyuan had such great power like a god or a demon, or whether he should be curious whether Meng Xiuyuan also drank too much and was acting drunk unconsciously.
.
After a long while, Meng Xiuyuan suddenly threw the boulder in his left hand high again, then turned the bamboo branch in his right hand and gently swept it towards the top of his head, and then heard a loud "click" sound, and the boulder was immediately split into two from the center.
Falling to both sides with a crash.
"Stop looking, Yongzi, come here."
Meng Xiuyuan had already discovered Zhang Yong's traces. He threw away the intact bamboo branch and turned to smile at him.
"Brother Meng, what were you doing just now..."
Zhang Yong couldn't resist the curiosity in his heart, so he asked directly as soon as he opened his mouth.
Meng Xiuyuan couldn't hide the joy on his face, and replied to Zhang Yong with a smile:
"I didn't expect that having a drink with Mr. Lu would yield unexpected results.
After being reminded by him yesterday, I discovered that my martial arts can be further developed.
I sat here all night last night, and I finally figured it out at dawn today.
I was happy for a moment, so I couldn’t help but want to try my skills..."
In fact, it was the concept of "subtlety" mentioned by Lu Miaozi when he was drunk yesterday that reminded Meng Xiuyuan.
He previously combined "Consciousness God" and "Yuan Shen" into one, which can be said to have achieved his own spiritual unity.
What he did that night was to go one step further, integrating his spirit and body as much as possible, and letting his spirit infuse every corner of his body.
This process sounds mysterious and mysterious, but for a person like Meng Xiuyuan, who has a deep spiritual and physical foundation, as long as he finds a way, it seems to fall into place.
The initial unity of spirit and body allowed Meng Xiuyuan to almost fully exert his power. The extreme display of strength and softness just now was just the tip of the iceberg.
The "Great Shift of the Universe" compiled by Meng Xiuyuan in the past was also the effort created by predecessors working in this direction. However, after all, there was insufficient research on the human body and spirit in the world of Yitian, so the effects were naturally incomparable.
At this time, Lu Miaozi also walked slowly from the bamboo forest. He looked at the boulder split into two on the ground, his pupils trembled, and he said:
"The little old man was drunk yesterday and made some nonsense based on what others said and what he heard. Unexpectedly, Brother Meng actually developed real kung fu.
It's really unbelievable.
Just a few years ago, Brother Meng was still worried about being unable to enter the innate realm. Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, he has reached such a realm..."
Stones from other mountains can be used to attack jade. Lu Miaozi has extensive knowledge and has friendships with top masters in the world. Meng Xiuyuan has just benefited from him, so naturally he is willing to ask him for more advice:
"Mr. Lu, what do you think my next step should be to develop my skills?
At this stage, "The Great Method of Planting Demons in the Heart of the Dao" is too different from the "Secret of Immortality" that I have practiced, and it is really difficult to learn from it.
You are knowledgeable, you might as well give me some advice."
When Lu Miaozi heard the sound, he quickly waved his hand and said to Meng Xiuyuan:
"With my little effort, how can I give guidance to Brother Meng...
But if you insist on me telling you, I can only give you a rough idea based on other people's words.
Brother Meng, at this time, the three treasures of essence, qi, and spirit have reached their peak, and at the same time, you have also reached the spiritual realm of 'subtlety'.
The next step is probably to explore outside the body in order to achieve the mysterious and mysterious realm of 'unity between man and nature'..."
Suddenly it was past 12 o'clock, I didn't notice, I'm really sorry that it was even later.
Tomorrow and the next two days are Monday and Tuesday. According to the coding plan mentioned before, I will take a break.
Taking advantage of these two days, I will probably read the original work again, sort out my thoughts, and try my best to give this volume of Tang Dynasty a satisfactory ending.
