Chapter Ninety-Nine, Heart Plate
Liu Li was angry, silently swept over with a side hook foot, this is a shape of the horse step, even the hook step is very small, the upper body has no signs of moving, and a side shift attack will arrive as soon as the foot floats. It seems to be careless, but it is energetic but with vigorous tension, just fists and feet, but You Fang has a feeling of being locked by his divine sense.
If this is stepped on, the fibula of the calf must be broken on the spot, and the ankle ligament will also be torn. This is just a half-trick, it's just a simple kick, but the skills in the eyes of experts are not trivial, the old man claims that his skills are greatly discounted and so powerful, how majestic was he when he was in his heyday?
You Fang used the cloud trick to float, turned around halfway, and finally used the trick to dodge, and his shoulder almost hit the window next to him, which was very exaggerated, and he could avoid the master's surprise attack. Liu Li didn't know whether to praise him or hurt him, and snorted: "I fought with bayonets on the battlefield back then, and I don't know how many devils have been in the shadows with this foot and horse, and the devils rushed over with bayonets. Today's sudden sneak attack, you can dodge, the kung fu is really good. β
Although there was no cold sweat, You Fang still reached out and wiped his forehead: "The horse is in a chain?" I haven't learned this kind of footwork, if it's a chain of feet, I really can't parry the posture you just had, so I have to turn around and run. β
Liu Liyi frowned: "You can run in a fight at the train station, where do you run with a bayonet on the battlefield?" It's not you who take you down, it's me who puts you down. β
You Fang nodded again and again, and patted his ass: "Yes, yes, it's different on the battlefield!" I heard that the generals who have survived a hundred battles and killed countless enemies have a formidable might, but you keep kicking me, there is no sign at all, and even Qin Yu has not reacted. β
Liu Li was very useful, and deliberately replied with a straight face: "In addition to masters, there are masters, there are masters, there is no need to praise teachers like this." β
You Fang: "I'm a master, Master, you are a master among masters, but you kicked the devil, why did you come to the apprentice?" β
Liu Li scolded: "Who are you kicking if you don't kick?" It's not that I don't have any money, I sneaked out in Guangzhou to loosen my bones, and when it was my turn to come out with my master, I invited my old man to this kind of baba shop to relax? β
You Fang explained with a smile: "Isn't this a way, when I return to Yanjing, I want to ask you to go to the heavens to play around, but unfortunately it has been sealed." β
Liu Li: "Since it's all sealed, what else are you talking about?" In my eyes, that's not a good place. β
You Fang: "Then Master do it yourself, where do you always like to go?" β
Liu Li glared at him and said angrily and happily: "You don't study well yourself, do you still want to take the master to the ditch?" When I was your age, I liked to go to Bada Hutong and listen to pipa songs, do you have a treat? "He's a man with a good surname, and he's in a good mood at the moment.
You Fang shook his head again and again: "Then I can't afford to ask for it, and I don't have that much ability to ask you to be old, unless you will go back in time**." β
"Really? How do you understand the heart plate technique, there are many feng shui secrets, and you won't have no experience at all, right? After saying this, his feet suddenly accelerated, and he flew forward like a shadow.
You Fang was startled, and the old man ran as soon as he said it, and he also started his body and chased after him. Fortunately, it was already late at night, and no one noticed that in the shadows of the street, the old and the young galloped like startled horses, passing through the city and walking a few kilometers south before stopping. Liu Li's figure suddenly stood still, and he sighed: "I'm really old, I don't know that this place has become like this, I remember that it was still a wilderness more than ten years ago." β
The place where they stood was not desolate at all, and the brand-new gate and fence wall in front of them read "Nanta Park" in large letters at the top.
There is an ancient tower on a hill in the southern suburbs of the old city of Chenzhou, and there is no clear record in the local chronicles when this tower appeared, the locals call it the South Tower, and the mountain package under the tower is naturally called the South Tower Ridge. Ruan Yue, a poet in the Song Dynasty, once wrote a poem about the south tower: "The south peak of the river bank is facing the stone city, the monk's room is high in the chaotic clouds, the sky is wide and the autumn moon is more in front of the stage, and there are lights in the wind and night on the tower." β
According to this poem, it is inferred that this tower existed at least in the Northern Song Dynasty, and there may be a Buddhist temple around the tower. Now the Buddhist temple has long been gone, and the tower seen today, rebuilt in the eighth year of Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty, in the eyes of the tour party, it is not like a traditional pagoda, more like a landscape tower or a calm feng shui tower.
This tower has seven floors in all directions, but the interior is virtual and real, along the spiral staircase in the tower body can climb to the fourth floor, there are doors on all sides of the first to fourth floors. The upper three floors can't go up, there is a door from the outside, but it is a false door from the inside. This tower has an iron bell hanging on the corner bucket arch of the first three layers in ancient times, and there is a melodious bell in the wind, and it is called the bell of the south tower in ancient times. Ascend this tower, to the north can overlook the whole city of Chenzhou, to the south can close to watch the Chenjiang River flow by, and look at the continuous Wang Xianling in the distance.
This dilapidated ancient pagoda has been renovated, built a park around the South Tower Ridge, added a lot of entertainment facilities, pedal boats for children to play, flying chairs, etc., is a place for parents to bring their children to relax and play during the holidays. The completion and opening of the park has been a matter of recent years, as Liu Li said, more than ten years ago it was a deserted suburb, and now the development of the city has rapidly extended to this area.
Liu Li and You Fang sat on the top of the tower, looking at the entertainment park at their feet, only to hear the old man sigh again: "Little wanderer, do you know what is the underground of this park?" β
You Fang glanced around: "The tower we stand on has been rebuilt many times, and it should be a pagoda at the earliest, there are Buddhist temples around, and the underground palace under the tower should still be there." But this park has just been repaired, and the popularity of the new floating and the surname of the new building are covered, and the disciples can't clearly sense it in a short time. β
Liu Li: "If you use the method of searching for gods to completely sense clearly, such a big and deep place, you can't be exhausted today." Let me tell you, the underground of this park is a Warring States tomb, as long as you are willing to dig here, to a certain depth, the pit is a little wider, you will definitely be able to come across the Chu tomb more than 2,000 years ago. β
Chenzhou is located at the confluence of the Luoxiao Mountains and the Nanling Mountains, and is also the boundary of the Pearl River, the Xiangjiang River, and the Ganjiang River water system.
There are similarities between the Nantaling area and the Beimang Mountain in Luoyang, the ancient saying was born in Luoyang and died and buried in the Beimang, while the nobles of the Chu fief in the southern Xinjiang were born in the Chenzhou area, and were buried in the Nantaling for generations after death. Nantaling naturally cannot be compared with the scale of Beimangshan, as the duration of the burial place of the nobles of Southern Chu for generations, Chu was cut off after it was destroyed by the Qin State.
However, the density of the tombs of the Warring States period in Nantaling is quite large, and the age and location of burial are very concentrated, and it is not an exaggeration for Liu Li to say that there is an ancient tomb under this park. You Fang nodded and said: "I heard my brother-in-law say that the tombs of the Warring States Chu have been discovered in Chenzhou one after another in recent years, all of which are at construction sites near a certain place, and it seems that this park is the park." β
Liu Li glanced at him: "Your brother-in-law, what does he do?" β
You Fang replied embarrassedly: "He is the deputy director of the Henan Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology, in charge of field excavation and cultural relics rescue and protection. β
"Oh?" Liu Li suddenly smiled: "No wonder you kid is you, you're not in a hurry to find the Netherworld Soil, waiting for news from your brother-in-law, right?" It will really save trouble! β
You Fang bowed his head and said: "The disciple is a little opportunistic and careful, and a sentence will let you see through it all the time." β
Liu Li: "It's not a bad thing to be able to cheat, but you also have to be able to work hard." β¦β¦ Alas, I originally wanted to take you to feel what would happen to the place where the netherworld soil was buried, but now it is all disturbed. β
Seeing that the old man was still sighing at this topic, You Fang pointed to Chenzhou City in the distance and persuaded: "Look at the development of the city, the times are different after all, the Tang and Han are different, and the present is different from the ancient." The construction of such a park can be regarded as preventing the encroachment of surrounding real estate development, and it is not a bad thing for citizens to have a place to relax. β
Liu Li still felt that he was in a bad mood, and muttered: "There can be many kinds of parks, and you can't build this place like this?" Do you think it doesn't feel awkward to set up a pirate ship in Yanjing Temple of Heaven Park? Below this is a piece of Zhan Chu tomb, very well preserved, the earth qi sense is desolate and far away, it should be suitable for travel to illustrate the place of meditation, this tower is to echo the spirit of the earth qi, there were people who knew how to do it at that time. Didn't you ask someone to look at feng shui when you designed the park today? β
You Fang persuaded with a smile: "Some inheritances are occasionally disturbed, and it takes time to recover slowly. It is a good thing to be able to build this park, as for the progress of humanities, there must be a process, people around the world will gradually become more and more aware that citizen leisure is not just a playground, it will have a variety of styles to choose from, and the local atmosphere is in harmony with nourishing the spirit of today's people. Don't be emotional. β
Liu Li's mood was a little soothed, and he glared at the apprentice again: "I'm so old, can't I make two sentences?" β
You Fang: "Yes, of course!" But you don't look very old at all, you are alive and well, you obviously didn't do your best, and I almost couldn't catch up. β
Liu Li pouted and waved his hand: "Don't pick what sounds good, let's talk about the serious, there are gains and losses, now on this tower, it is more appropriate to feel the heart." I thought that when I and the Songhegu Xiang family generation of the master, I had asked about the heart plate here, I really didn't expect that the next generation of the door master Xiang Zuohu died in my hands, in the blink of an eye a hundred years seems to be impermanent, but there is yin and yang growth and evil phase operation, precipitated in the earth's qi, this is the fundamental heart of the heart plate technique. β
Liu Li's expression became serious, and he began to teach the apprentice about the heart plate.
The so-called operation of the heart plate is not to use the divine consciousness to operate the earth's qi, but on the contrary, it is to operate the divine consciousness with the earth's qi, which is a kind of self-experience, and may even be a flash of inspiration in a trance. Therefore, long before You Fang mastered the spiritual sense, he vaguely felt a trace of the door of the Heart Disc Technique, but he couldn't describe why.
For example, the brick tower at the foot, the earliest ancient tower may have long been gone, but it does not mean that it has really "disappeared", the broken tiles and bricks are scattered among the barren smoke and vines, buried in the memory of the historical layer, and the environment still retains its surname and breath, and the consciousness can be sensed in the subtle place. Today, this brick tower of the Qing Dynasty has undergone 21st century repairs, and naturally has a clear hierarchy of environmental information and caste.
This kind of information is like a strange river between movement and stillness, and its mode of operation is different from the movement and flow that people usually understand, but the resonant rhythm of space and time, the expression in the environment. It is inaccessible to the Divine Sense, but it can be sensed and operate with it in a realm of ethereal clarity.
This kind of realm is not only a description of the mystical and mysterious, but also has an empirical experience in the secret method, which is "the unity of the divine qi, the refining of the realm, and the transformation of divine consciousness into divine thoughts". It can only be mastered after breaking through the realm of "Divine Qi Condensation and Transferring the Spiritual Body", otherwise it is impossible to talk about the movement of divine consciousness with the earthly qi.
You Fang had also reluctantly activated the plausible heart plate at the beginning, and always felt uncomfortable and nauseated, if it wasn't for the practice of internal kung fu since childhood, the body was strong and the spirit was complete, and I was afraid that another person would have convulsions and faint on the spot. Even if it is the physical energy of You Fang, it is very hurtful, and the secret art has its own taboos, and it cannot be messed around casually, and it is not allowed to be guided by the master to explore by mistake, and this kind of problem is most likely to occur.
After fully mastering the secret method of "refining the realm", one can practice the "heart plate", which is not only a secret technique, but also a cultivation method to reach the further realm of "turning divine consciousness into divine thoughts".
After Liu Li finished teaching, he instructed: "With your skills at this time, you can't reluctantly activate the heart plate, and when you get to the fire, you will know why it is, and you will naturally be able to run it. β¦β¦ You will be refining here tonight, remember not to operate the mental disk, but to unfold the subtlety of divine consciousness without touching it, and experience the ethereal realm. β¦β¦ You little wanderer, the concentration is okay, but acting too slippery will inevitably affect the heart, you must first master the extreme quiet as condensation, and when the kung fu arrives, you can move quietly. β
That night, under the guidance of the master, You Fang sat down on the south tower, without practicing any secret arts, just to experience the pure ethereal realm. The divine consciousness spreads to the maximum extent that it can reach, and it is integrated with the earthly qi and the caste, and it naturally senses but does not deliberately take the initiative to sense. This ancient tower has been decayed, deserted, rebuilt, and repaired over the years, and the breath that permeates the environment seems to be integrated into his divine consciousness, as if his own memories are silently and unintentionally forgotten.
You Fang sat in the air, and his divine consciousness also permeated the hills under the tower, and between the vegetation and the vitality left by people's activities, revealing a distant and desolate ancient meaning, coming from the depths of the earth where his divine consciousness had not reached, faint and clear and condensed. And the rich yin qi was suppressed by this tower of the spiritual center, sleeping peacefully between heaven and earth. ββIs this the surname of the earth's qi that may exist in the netherworld? At this time, you didn't think about it at all, but just experienced.
When it was light, You Fang opened his eyes and let out a sigh, and Liu Li, who was sitting at the other end of the tower, stood up and asked with a smile, "Little wanderer, how do you feel?" β
You Fang got up and thanked him: "Feng Shui Lingshu can nourish the form of the gods, the disciple only got the magic today, thank you Master for your guidance!" Why did he say that? The first two days of physical strength and energy consumption were extremely high, and You Fang himself estimated that it would take ten days and a half months to fully recover. Tonight, he did not practice the inner cultivation method, but under the guidance of the master, he released his divine consciousness and the integrated refining realm of earth qi, and he was completely full of divine qi overnight, which was clearly directly with the help of the earth qi spirit center.
Liu Li was very satisfied, and made a joke with his apprentice: "Well, it can not only nourish the form of the gods, but also beautify the skin!" If my old man is more than a hundred years old, can he still be so young? β
You Fang echoed: "Yes, yes, your old man's spirit, where does he look like a post-90s." β
Liu Li was stunned for a moment, walked around from the top of the tower, reached out and knocked on the door of the apprentice's head and said, "Stinky boy, what do you mean, are you talking such nonsense?" β
You Fang shrank his neck and defended: "What nonsense, aren't you a young person?" β
This time, Liu Li didn't hold back, he was amused by the apprentice's words, and the birds in the morning light seemed to be startled, flapping their wings and flapping their wings to startle away. You Fang reminded: "Master, it's not early, maybe there will be someone who gets up early for morning exercise later, and you will be scared when you hear someone laughing on the top of the tower, let's go down." β
Liu Li was not in a hurry to leave, he stood with his hands behind his back and squinted his eyes and asked, "Disciple, when you just sat down, your divine consciousness and earth qi fused together, didn't you find any movement?" β
You Fang blinked his eyes and pointed to the hill below: "There are rats making holes, and I want to go down to catch rats and play while the sky is still dark." β
Liu Li stretched his arm as if he was stretching his waist: "The old arms and legs should also move, go, go down together, and catch the mouse for the teacher today." β
You Fang: "Use a dragon slayer knife to kill chickens?" This little thing, with a disciple here, how can you let the old man do it. β
Liu Li twisted his chin with a smile: "My knife has not slain dragons for a long time, catch three rats and play, you kid learn hard." β
What are they talking about? There are grave robbers in this underground! It's hard to imagine that this is not a wilderness but a South Tower Park, where people come and go every day, what kind of tomb robbers can steal here? The park is not full of recreational facilities, but also green spaces and vegetation, especially the mountain pack where Nantaling is located, which has special greenery.
Greening is not only planting trees, including leveling the land, digging pits and fertilizing, irrigation and so on, this park is new, the greening project has not been fully completed, there is a worker's hut at the foot of the hill near the park wall, which should have been built during the construction has been retained. The entrance to the cave is inside this hut, and there is no sign of it outside.
You Fang sat on the tower at night, his divine sense and the earth's qi were integrated, and he naturally sensed it, and he found that there was a hole in the hut, which had been dug quite deep, and there were three people digging a hole underneath, while transporting soil outward. Sneaking this kind of project in this place is definitely not greening or fighting tunnel warfare, and the intention could not be more obvious.
Nowadays, this kind of activity is really advocacious, robbing tombs under the nose of the public! Judging from its means, it is deeply in line with the essence of "black under the lights" in the rivers and lakes, there are so many people passing by every day, but who would have thought about it?
