Mangshan Chonglingzi, Spring Pool Lingbo Immortal.
Yang Chaoxi made seals with one hand and held his hat in the other, and walked quickly from the pond to the shore. When his feet stepped on the grass beside the pond, his momentum slowed down slightly, and he was already in front of everyone.
Tan Ming was the first to run forward and took away one of his straw shoes to take a closer look. Except for the toes which were slightly wet, the rest of the place was as dry as ever. He said in disbelief: "Brother-in-law! This is indeed Zen Master Fu Kong's.
The stunt 'crossing the river with a reed'?"
But the little monkey jumped over and said, "Humph! My master's abilities are unfathomable. How could you, a little monk, have imagined that!"
Yang Chaoxi smiled and flicked the little monkey's shaggy head with his finger: "That's nonsense again! It's just a coincidence that I learned some tricks to protect my life when facing enemies, so you dare to brag about it! You must know that it's full of tricks.
If you lose, modesty will benefit.' In the future, we must change this habit of talking nonsense, and we must not be arrogant."
After saying that, he looked at Tan Mingdao, "Little Zen Master Zhiyuan, this is the authentic 'One Reed Crossing the River' Qinggong. I also learned it from a walking monk named Huilang. According to people in the village,
, he is also a direct disciple of Zen Master Fu Kong."
Tan Ming clasped his palms together and lowered his bald head: "Amitabha! My master said that Master Huilang praised hard practice and practiced it personally, but we are not as good as him... It's just that this Qinggong is so powerful! If Master Huilang hadn't said not to teach it,
I hope my brother-in-law can also teach me the exercises!"
After all, Tan Ming is a child at heart. He just looked indifferent and praised Huilang a few words. Then his true intention was revealed. He pestered Yang Chaoxi to learn this light body technique, just like Tan Qing pestered him to learn swordsmanship.
.
Tan Qing's cheeks were dizzy and her face was bright red. She followed slowly, but did not dare to look directly at Yang Chaoxi: "Senior Brother Yang... I am so careless and talking nonsense. I hope you won't mind.
"
But Yang Chaoxi smiled casually: "Children's words are unbridled, Junior Sister Qin is worrying too much! This technique was originally learned by Shi Sect and then passed on to Shi Sect disciples. I don't think Monk Huilang has anything to say about it."
Tan Qing felt slightly disappointed. Her younger brother was naturally smart and deliberately acted like a "brother-in-law". She wanted to find out how Senior Brother Yang felt about her.
However, Senior Brother Yang looked at him and did not accept the move. He had to follow his words and said: "Actually... Actually, Senior Brother, when this Qing Kung was demonstrated at Xinzhong Bridge last time, Qing'er wanted to show it to you.
I’m asking for advice. But, I remember at that time you said, ‘Men can learn from it, but if you are a woman, it will be embarrassing’, but you don’t know what’s so embarrassing about it?”
Yang Chaoxi saw Long Zaitian with a surprised look on his face, turned his face to look at him, and couldn't help but scratch his nose and said: "This 'One Reed Crossing the River' Qing Gong is naturally a set of techniques for transporting inner breath, raising Qi and exerting force.
It’s just that the place to practice must be on the water. When Xiaodao first learned this skill in the mountains, he found a small pool and practiced diligently every day. He didn’t know how to practice this skill until he fell into the pool hundreds of times.
body skills."
"Wading in water to practice martial arts is not a weird method. Why should there be any distinction between men and women? Yang Xiaoyou, it's not because you don't want to teach Qin Yatou, right?" Long Zaitian became more and more puzzled after hearing what he said.
Even Qin Qing was full of suspicion: Could it be that Senior Brother Yang wanted to alienate me deliberately so that he could find Senior Sister Cui or that saint Xiaoman? But Senior Sister Cui was already engaged, and Zoroastrian saints were not allowed to get married.
How could Senior Brother Yang be so stupid as to do something like "fetching water from a bamboo basket but in vain"?
Yang Chaoxi saw that he couldn't explain clearly, so he could only spread his hands and said: "Since you two don't believe it, let's teach you the small way together first. However, you must first find a place with shallow water to prevent you two from falling into the water and having difficulty saving yourself."
Long Zaitian laughed: "That's right! A sheep can be herded, and a group of sheep can be herded. Yang Xiaoyou should have taken in a few more 'disciples', big and small. As for whether it's embarrassing or not, it's just for the sake of appearance.
As long as you can learn this skill, it’s no big deal!"
Tan Qing also pursed his lips and chuckled: "Senior Long's words make sense. Qing'er has never been able to show off her face because she is learning martial arts? Senior Brother Yang, just rest assured!"
Yang Chaoxi had no choice but to lead everyone around the pond. When they reached the west of Wei Wang Pond, they found a water area so deep that the bottom could be seen. It was about three feet wide and several feet long. Next to the edge of the pond, the bottom of the water was covered with overgrowth.
Green water plants.
Yang Zhaoxi picked up an abandoned bamboo pennant, poked it into the pool, brought it up again, and then nodded and said: "The water in the pool here is no deeper than the waist. Even if you fall into the water, there is no risk of drowning. It is a good place to practice martial arts."
.”
After saying that, he looked slightly solemn and said, "It's just that this technique requires arousing the inner breath. If you don't have adequate Zen skills and Taoist skills, I'm afraid it won't be easy to practice. So, little Zen master Zhiyuan and little monkey will do it after a little try."
But if you can’t figure out the trick for a while, don’t force yourself to practice hard.”
After hearing this, Tan Ming and the little monkey both looked unconvinced. They couldn't help but secretly argue in their hearts: they must learn this Qing Gong so that their brother-in-law (master) can look up to him with admiration!
Long Zaitian raised his thick eyebrows, and instantly understood what Yang Chaoxi was saying: These two children have only been practicing for a long time, and have not accumulated enough inner breath. They can barely raise their energy and strength, but they are just copying a cat and a tiger, and they only have the same shape. But look.
The two children were eager to give it a try, but they didn't show any signs of it. After a while, the two children would take a few more mouthfuls of water and retreat.
Yang Chaoxi saw that everyone had different expressions, but they all looked at him. He cleared his throat and said loudly: "Who says the river is wide? A reed hangs it. Who says the river is deep? A reed crosses it. Follow the example of Bodhidharma.
, tiptoeing on the waves. The energy comes from oneself, leaping across the rivers..."
Long Zaitian and Tan Qing both practiced the inner alchemy method, and their inner breath was not weak. They listened and thought about it, and vaguely gained something.
Most of what Tan Ming studied in the past was practicing boxing and kicking, but he often chanted sutras and meditated, but he still seemed to understand some of them.
Only the little monkey, who has been working hard recently to practice footwork, body movements, techniques, breathing, and Qi exercises, has only learned a superficial knowledge. After listening for a long time, he was confused and couldn't help but said: "
Master, why can’t I understand a word of the mantra you recited?”
Yang Zhaoxi immediately stopped talking, looked at the little monkey and said with a smile: "These are the formulas for the 'One Reed Crossing the River' technique, but they are different from the Taoist spells. You have only been practicing Taoism and martial arts for more than a month, so naturally you find the words and sentences awkward and difficult to understand.
You must know that practicing martial arts, studying Taoism, studying and becoming an official, nothing can be accomplished overnight. Today is just the right time for the meeting. If you can understand something, remember it. For you, this is the right principle."
The little monkey was confused and nodded, but he already understood in his heart that he was currently unable to practice such a powerful Qing Gong, and he couldn't help but feel a little downcast.
Tan Ming glanced at him quietly, and couldn't help showing a complacent expression, but he didn't dare to be too distracted, lest he miss what his "brother-in-law" was saying later.
After Yang Chaoxi taught the formula of "Crossing the River with a Reed", several people were silent in deep thought and did not urge them, letting them realize it on their own.
After a long time, the three of them came back to their senses one after another. They felt like they had found a treasure. Some nodded repeatedly, while others were doubtful. They didn't know whether the newly learned exercises and formulas were easy to use or not.
Yang Chaoxi naturally knew that he would not be able to learn the essentials of the exercises just by relying on a formula. So he asked the little monkey to pick up some dead branches and stones and scatter them on the grass.
The previous one was about to withdraw when he touched it, and demonstrated the body seal technique to everyone; while he was muttering something:
The mind is not sluggish, and the mind is concentrated; raise the energy in the heart, and pour the force into the feet; use the force from the foot, and the wind is generated in the armpits... Do not interrupt the inner breath to prevent the back force from being exhausted; the energy should be inhaled and exhaled slowly, like a long stream of water...
Long Zaitian, Tan Qing and the others came closer, squatting or standing, almost with their eyes pressed up, watching carefully how Yang Chaoxi waved her arms and legs, how she breathed in and out. Even the rhythm of the rise and fall of her chest.
, and should be kept in mind exactly.
After watching for a long time, the four of them began to imitate his example, lifting their feet and running as fast as possible, stepping on scattered branches and stones as much as possible, and using their strength to jump forward. Occasionally, if their feet slipped, they would be thrown over on their backs, which was so painful.
The four of them could hardly stand upright.
Yang Chaoxi saw that the four of them were gradually getting the point, so he stood up and picked up a handful of dead branches and chopped them into several pieces in the air. Before the dead branches fell, he waved his sleeves and scattered them into the pool, following the floating waves.
Ripple on the water.
He immediately looked at the four people standing crookedly, grinned and said: "If you feel that your feet are getting steady, you can try it in the water. Since this light body technique is called 'crossing the river with a reed', you should not avoid rivers, lakes and ponds in order to be near the water."
It is better to ride on the waves and not sink."
After hearing this, the little monkey immediately turned around and jumped into the pool without waiting for anyone to dissuade him.
"Pfft!"
Unsurprisingly, the little monkey plunged into the pool water, causing a huge splash. Yang Zhaoxi and others looked at the little monkey flopping in the pool, and they all hid their faces and were speechless.
Fortunately, the water in the pool was not deep. The little monkey struggled for less than five breaths. He choked a few mouthfuls of water and then stood up from the pool. Looking at the dead branches floating around, he had already fled away in fright. Not to mention "a reed crossing"
"River", there were so many dead branches floating on the water, but even the little monkey couldn't hold up a foot.
Long Zaitian sighed with a smile, and performed on the bank for a while, then jumped into the pool. However, his feet interacted with each other, and as soon as he stepped over two floating branches, he was about to continue moving forward. He felt his left foot sink, but it was
He trampled over a dead branch, then swung his body and smashed it down towards the left front!
"Pfft---!"
The water splashed up to a height of more than ten feet, causing mud to rise at the bottom of the pond. In an instant, Long Zaitian was surrounded by filth, soaked to the skin, like a drowned black-bone chicken.
On the shore, Tan Qing and others saw the embarrassment of Gang Leader Long and burst into laughter. Long Zaitian was not worried. He looked at the water that had just reached his thighs and started laughing along with everyone else.
Next is Tan Ming.
But I saw that this little novice monk was actually quite talented. He touched the floating branches in the pond with his feet and took five or six steps in a row before his foot missed and fell into the pond. After a few breaths, he was soaked all over and climbed up to the shore.
Tan Qing looked at the three people entering the pool, all looking like this, and his heart was beating. At this moment, he vaguely understood why Senior Brother Yang refused to teach the woman this set of exercises. So, he only focused on performing the test on the shore.
No matter how much Tan Ming and the little monkeys urged and teased, they refused to try again.
But Long Zaitian seemed to be getting more and more courageous with frustration. Since he was already soaked, he simply took off all his robes and shirt, only wearing a long robe and a half-arm shirt. He repeatedly stepped into the pool and fell into it several times... It took him half a torment.
After an hour, I could barely step on three or four floating branches, and I seemed to have figured out some tricks.
Looking back at Tan Ming, the two little monkeys had exhausted their energy. They each took off their wet clothes and gathered around the shore to warm themselves by the fire.
Long Zaitian stood in the pond and saw that Tan Qing was still lingering on the shore, running on the branches and stones, seemingly becoming more and more proficient. He couldn't help laughing and said: "Girl Tan! Kung fu will eventually show its true meaning. Like you."
If you are afraid of your hands and feet and hide on the shore, you will only be able to practice a 'landlubber' light kung fu in the end."
Tan Qing was aroused by him, and immediately his face became a little uneasy. After a slight hesitation, he bit his silver teeth, ran towards the Weiwang Pond, and jumped down resolutely.
"Pah! Pah, pah, pah!"
The expected sound of falling into the water did not come out. Everyone saw that Tan Qing was like a goose, with his arms spread out like wings, and his embroidered shoes turned into double webs, flying past on floating branches, making a "pah" sound.
The sound of water, how does it sound like a beginner learning Qing Gong?
Even Yang Zhaoxi was dumbfounded: When he was practicing this light skill, he fell into the water countless times. Even if Junior Sister Qin is so talented, how could she be so "familiar with it"? Could it be that she was the one who just landed on the shore?
Did the rehearsal really have a great effect?
Tan Qing was also surprised and happy, feeling the breath in his body rushing and flowing continuously. His feet seemed to be moving like clouds and flowing water, applying the feeling he had just tried on the shore to the pool bit by bit. The floating branches scattered under his feet,
It seemed as if he was rooted to the surface of the water, just waiting for her to lend strength, and everything seemed to be going smoothly...
Just when Tan Qing turned around and was about to run back to the shore, he suddenly felt that his feet were empty.
When he looked down, he saw a dead branch that had been eaten away by insects and had its wood core hollowed out. It broke without warning. And the embroidered shoes on which he was tracing roses were immediately submerged into the cold water. Then his whole body tilted and he could no longer control it.
Unable to hold back, I plunged in: Plop!
Yang Zhaoxi held back her smile and cupped her hands towards Long Zaitian in the pool, gesturing for him to lean over and take a look at the situation.
At this moment, Tan Qing had climbed up from the water on her own, her hair was messy and stuck to her forehead, her skirt and shirt were completely wet, and her curves were exposed, showing her beautiful figure. Because her shirt was soaked, several layers of gauze were pasted together to form one layer.
, The belly is garnet red, the chest is half-covered, the spring is endless...
Yang Chaoxi was standing in front of him, their eyes facing each other, both of them flashing a hint of astonishment.
"Ah——!" Tan Qing screamed and quickly retracted into the cold water.
In Yang Chaoxi's mind, there was still a hint of charm. Immediately, his blood surged up, his nose felt hot, and a stream of bright red liquid flowed down the middle of his body.
