Chapter Thirty-Eight: Obtaining the True Dragon Recipe

The night was dark, the forty-watt light bulb in Zhao Yunfei's house gave a warm glow, Xiao Ji had already fallen asleep lying on the kang, but Zhao Yunfei was sitting at the round table in a daze at a piece of paper.

Although the night was dark, Zhao Yunfei did not feel sleepy, and the handwriting on the paper was printed in the last section of the belt, which had been rubbed onto the paper by him with ink.

"True Dragon Formula". Zhao Yunfei read softly, the vigorous and simple traditional handwriting was the same as the previous long poem, and he wondered, "What is this?" Continue to look down, and see that the following is also like the long poem without punctuation:

True Dragon Trick

The dragon is a god, has no wings, can soar, too void cheeks, no gills, can dive deep, the dragon is not a god, cover it is good at yin and yang, two qi refining into electricity, hidden in the acupoints around the body, then to spit fire and smoke into the sky into the sea, ride the rain, the wind and the illusion of the infinite human endowment, heaven and earth, the aura and birth, with 360 weeks, the Tianda acupoint, the two veins of the governor, the contact between the two veins, such as the lake and the sea vein, if the river is suitable for sitting or lying on the silent night, the hands are superimposed on the top of the tongue and the palate, on the other hand, the internal view swallows the swallowing fluid, the abdomen is bulging, and the abdomen is inhaled, and the breath is long, sensitive to the acupoint, and blunt in the realm, the sense of Tibetan induction, and the radical change, and in turn, it is the realization of nature, no desire, no seeking, self-cultivation, self-enlightenment, and drifting with the flow

(Below are two figures of a human figure filled with lines and dots)

This true dragon recipe is passed on from the Zhao family's ancient Honghuang Treasure Knife Ancestor Yu since the weak crown of cultivation for 80 years, nothing has been achieved, but to irrigate the garden to spend the sun and moon, the Mid-Autumn Festival and the moon, the night of drinking, a drunken altar, seems to have an understanding, the years are ruthless, the hero Yi Laohao's head is pale, the meridians are exhausted, there is no hope of repair, but also a pity for the sunset, the green garden, the grass, the September day, the ancient tomb monument, thousands of years to hurry, the world of things, walking leisurely, looking at the distant mountains, the green garden, in the walking pavilion

……………………

Looking at this large section of traditional Chinese characters without punctuation, Zhao Yunfei suddenly felt a headache, fortunately, he usually read a lot of classical classics, and had the previous experience of translating that long poem, with the help of the dictionary, it took more than an hour to finally divide this paragraph into paragraphs and write it in simplified characters, as follows:

"True Dragon Formula"

Dragons are gods,

Ribs have no wings to soar too empty,

The cheeks have no gills to dive deep into the nine abysses.

The dragon is not a fetish,

Gai Qi is good at yin and yang,

refining into electricity,

Hidden in the veins around the body,

Then he spit fire and smoke,

Heaven into the sea,

Riding the rain and rejuvenating the wind,

Transfiguration is infinite.

Man is born of heaven and earth aura,

With 360 weeks of heaven acupoint,

In the meantime, the two veins of the governor contacted them,

The cave is like a lake and the sea,

Pulse like a river,

Suitable for quiet nights,

or sit or lie down,

Hands stacked,

tongue roof of the palate,

On the other hand, looking inward,

swallowing fluid,

The belly is bulging and sucking,

The abdomen is retracted and exhaled,

Outbound call and internal descending,

The breath is long,

Sensitive to the acupuncture and dull to the realm,

Perception of Tibetan and merging radical changes,

In turn,

Recognize nature,

No desire, no desire,

self-cultivation and self-realization,

Drift.

(Here are two humanoid figures)

This true dragon recipe is passed on from the ancient Honghuang Treasure Sword Ancestor of the Zhao family, the rest of the weak crown obtained, cultivated for 80 years, nothing has been achieved, but to spend the sun and moon in the garden, the Mid-Autumn Festival moonlit night, drinking a jar, drunk, seems to have an understanding, but the years are ruthless, the hero is easy to get old, the head is pale, the meridians are exhausted, there is no hope of restoration, pity!

Sunset feelings

Green garden grass in September,

Tomb remnants thousands of years old?

Come and go in a hurry of human affairs,

Take a leisurely walk and look at the distant mountains.

――The green garden is located in the walking pavilion

………………….

Zhao Yunfei read this text from beginning to end, three times in a row, but there are enough question marks in his heart to have a hundred, although he has not yet gone to junior high school, but he has read a lot of ancient and modern Chinese and foreign masterpieces, and he usually likes to write something, so the meaning of the words can understand eight nine and not leave ten.

"What is this? Legendary martial arts cheats? ”

"True Dragon Formula? Were there really dragons in ancient times? ”

"What are the two qi of yin and yang?"

"Who is the Zhao Clan's Ancient Flood Treasure Sword Ancestor? Is it the ancestor of the Zhao family? Is it the same person who slays the demon dragon? ”

"Who is Green Garden? Which dynasty is it from? Also surnamed Zhao? ”

"Lu Yuansu has been cultivating for eighty years since he was twenty years old, has he lived for more than a hundred years? Can you still grow vegetables and water them? Can you still drink a jar of wine? "Although there was no air pollution in ancient times, and there was no food that was poisoned by chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and additives, it cannot be denied that wars, floods, droughts, famines, and plagues occurred frequently in ancient times, and the medical level was almost zero, and there were few emperors who lived to be seventy years old, and it was a miracle that ordinary people could live to be more than a hundred years old, so it is no wonder that Zhao Yunfei had doubts.

Zhao Yunfei moved his gaze to the two humanoid drawings again, and saw that one of the two pictures was the front and the other was the back, although the picture was small, but the facial features, hands, feet, limbs, and various parts of the person were complete, and there were two thick lines in the middle of the front and back, and many thin lines were drawn from the thick lines, and the end of these thin lines was a dot.

Zhao Yunfei swiped his fingers from top to bottom on his chest, and thought to himself: "These two thick lines should be the second pulse of Ren Du, those dots are acupuncture points, do people really have these things?" Why don't I feel anything at all? ”

He immediately realized that he was a little stupid, and thought: "There are many organs in the human body that cannot be perceived under normal circumstances, such as the liver, kidneys, spleen, ...... Just because you can't perceive it doesn't mean you don't exist! ”

"How do you practice this?" Zhao Yunfei read "True Dragon Jue" again, but he was still confused after reading it.

Although Zhao Yunfei has always been very repulsive to unscientific things, but during this period of time his views have unconsciously changed, or in other words, the concept has improved, he now believes that everything he does not understand can be attributed to superstition and excluded, and all things that he does not understand are attributed to superstition, which is itself a superstitious behavior, and now spaceships, satellites, airplanes, and even electric lights and televisions, if these things are understood by people hundreds of years ago, they will definitely be regarded as gods, demons and monsters. But in the eyes of modern people is not surprising, because modern people understand the principle of these devices, know that these things have theory and logic, even in today's highly developed science and technology, there are still many unsolved mysteries in the universe, in fact, the human body itself is one of the unsolved mysteries, then, for the things they don't understand, should we have a more open attitude?

"Well, that Green Gardener has been practicing for eighty years without success, it seems that this martial art must be difficult to practice, he himself thinks it's a pity, but looking at the poems behind him, the artistic conception is also open-minded." Zhao Yunfei thought about it secretly, and in a blink of an eye, he thought again, "No, he said that he didn't succeed in practicing, but he lived for more than a hundred years and could still pick up water and grow vegetables, and he could drink a jar of wine, and his health was not worse than that of today's young people, which shows that he has a certain effect in practicing this "True Dragon Formula", and he is still as healthy as a young man in his hundred years, which is a great success, why does he say that he has achieved nothing?" What does his 'success' refer to? What if you can live to be over 100 years old without accomplishing anything? Can you really punch tigers and fly off walls like you did on TV? ”

Zhao Yunfei shook his head, and suddenly remembered the long poem, although he had memorized the long poem, he still got up and found the piece of paper with the long poem written on it from the cabinet.

Zhao Yunfei spread two pieces of paper on the table, looked at this one, and then looked at that one, and found that the content was related to the dragon, and the dragon mentioned in the long poem seemed to be different from the dragon said in the "True Dragon Jue", and the long poem said: "In the east of the Yinghai Sea, the ink dragon is soaring." Swing my long knife and slay the demon and dragon. "Literally, this ink dragon should be black, slaying demons and dragons, this ink dragon is for demons, and was killed by the ancestor of the Flood Treasure Sword, and in the "True Dragon Jue": "The dragon is a god", here the dragon is said to be a god, is the dragon also a good dragon and an evil dragon?

Zhao Yunfei frowned and continued to think.

Judging from the meaning of the long poem, the ancestor of the Honghuang Treasure Sword is to let future generations find the relics of the dragon, adhering to his ambition, "Shouwu Ranch", what does this "ranch" refer to?

Zhao Yunfei pinched his forehead and thought to himself: "The Ancestor of the Treasure Dao of the Hong Wilderness is too old to verify it now, who is this Green Garden?" Is there a record of such a long-lived old man in the history books? Emperors in ancient times seem to have a hobby of summoning long-lived old people, such a long-lived old man should not be difficult to find, if so, can you find some clues? Well, take the time to check the Xinhua bookstore in the county seat! ”

Zhao Yunfei was already full of interest in this "True Dragon Jue" at this time, sat at the table and memorized it attentively, memorized the entire text in his mind, and saw that the wall clock on the wall was already half past eleven at night, and secretly made a decision, "Starting from tomorrow night, practice the "True Dragon Jue" and see what you can practice!" ”

Zhao Yunfei was lying on the kang and still thinking about the "True Dragon Jue", his mind was full of exercises, he fell asleep unconsciously, and his dreams at night were all about this content, and even the recent unpleasant things were downplayed.
