Guo Hong followed Han Huayang's instructions and guided the white mark on his right chest to his left chest, and as the exercises worked, his left arm gradually turned black.

The left chest is white, the left arm is all black, the right chest is black, the right arm is black, the right arm is white, one left and one right like Tai Chi!

When he got up, Guo Hong bowed and saluted: "Thank you Han Gong for helping me practice this skill!" ”

He felt that his left and right hands were as hard as iron, and he could crack stones!

Han Huayang shook his head and sighed: "A divine skill of cultivating immortality, in the end, can only refine a pair of immortal arms, manpower is sometimes poor, the ancients are honest and do not deceive me!" ”

Guo Hong was very pleased, he looked left and right, these two arms were too handsome!

In the future, he didn't even need to bring weapons, although his hands couldn't compete with a sharp blade like the Mo Dao, he could also resist ordinary swords, and he could also play a stronger attack by gathering strength.

Guo Hong jumped up and hit a set of Five Elements Fist on the boulder, and the wind roared and the power increased greatly.

He ran the Immortal King Technique, his left and right chests beat like drums, and two palms were issued in the air, and after a while, there were two echoes in the distant cave!

Guo Hong was not very happy, thinking of the former head of Qingcheng next to him, he was quite puzzled by the Yubei boxing method that he had been pondering and understanding a few days ago, so he said: "The last time the kid watched the Yubei, I felt that every text was like a fight between two people, and it seemed to contain a set of boxing skills. ”

Han Huayang nodded and said, "You can take a look." ”

Guo Hong mentioned the spiritual exercise, the movements were very clumsy, and after the fight, he said: "This is the boxing method realized from the left and top of each glyph, and there is another set of opposites." ”

He threw another set of punches, and at first glance it was the same as the previous one.

Han Huayang waited for Guo Hong to finish fighting, let him sit down and take a sip of tea, and then pointed: "In fact, not only I have seen the Yu Monument, but the Taoist predecessors who have come to Hengshan in the past dynasties have studied it, and the most accomplished of them are the Wei Huacun Patriarch of the Jin Dynasty and your Hengshan Sect Founding Patriarch Sima Chengzhen!"

"Patriarch Wei's experience has been lost, and Sima's predecessor left his experience in Wangwushan, and the old man was fortunate enough to borrow it for reference.

"The above said that these fonts are not the boxing techniques practiced by the two people, but the art of sitting and forgetting to practice qi with yin and yang, using qi to resist strength, refining strength into strength, you can form a set of boxing techniques, each word represents the yin and yang changes in the body!"

Guo Hong was a little stunned when he heard this, it turned out that he had thought wrong from the beginning?

Han Huayang smiled and took out a book from his sleeve and handed it to Guo Hong, saying: "You don't have to be depressed, it's a good thing that you can realize the Tao, but if you don't have a wide range of knowledge, you won't have a foundation, and the Tao you realize must be relatively simple and plausible." This book is what the old man has seen and heard in his life and his practice experience, which also records the understanding of Sima's predecessors on the Yu tablet, you take it back and read it carefully, this book allows you to copy a copy and stay in Hengshan, if you have time in the future, help me transfer the original to the Qingcheng faction. ”

He waved his sleeves, and the black worm lifted Guo Hong up and sent him to the road.

"Xiaoyou, Sima's predecessor's enlightenment is not necessarily right, so the words on the Yu tablet are from Kunlun, which contains a big secret, you go out and remember carefully, maybe you can crack it in the future. The other two Immortal King Gu were dead, and only one was left in the old man's body. You can also see that if the master dies, the Immortal King Gu will still come out in vain to try to take away the house and cause chaos in the world as soon as he has a chance. I, Han Huayang Shouyuan, will fulfill my wish, and this pest will become extinct after today. ”

Guo Hong landed, the black worm was taken back by Han Huayang, and then a raging fire broke out in the cave!

"Han Gong, don't!"

Guo Hong shouted and wanted to go back, but was stopped by the fire, and the squeaky of the black insect swarm came from the flames!

"The old man has been practicing the Taiyi Yugui Fire Talisman for more than 50 years, and his fire control technique is not inferior to that of the fire master Wang Zihua's predecessors. You and I have ended our fate, go and rest! ”

Guo Hong was choked and coughed repeatedly, and saw the old man sitting cross-legged on the boulder through the flames, his eyes were a little moist.

The two intersected with each other, but this senior saved his life and carefully instructed him to pass on the Dao Fa, which is really a sincere elder!

Han Huayang's figure was refracted by the firelight and became shaky and distorted, and his voice came from afar:

"Immortality, immortality! In the lonely realm, where to find immortality? ”

The young man was forced out by the fire, and the voice of the old man in front of Qingcheng still echoed in the cave, and the aftermath was endless for a long time......

Guo Hong exited the cave and met with the people who were chasing him.

The fire in the cave burned until the evening, they rested outside all night, and found that it was full of poisonous gas, and they couldn't enter at all, everyone remembered the difficulty of the battle with the Immortal King Gu, and they were all embarrassed.

In the end, Liu Yuanjing took the lead and closed the cave, allowing people to erect a monument outside to commemorate it.

When everyone returned to the Zhenzhen Palace, Guo Hong passed by the Yu Monument, remembered Han Huayang's words, and found pen and ink to carefully copy it according to the above format, leaving it for future study.

He originally thought it was a set of punches, but now it doesn't seem to be that simple.

Another day later, Lu Congbi and Zeng Xingjian led the team to leave, and they wanted to continue to the east along the Xiangshui into the Yangtze River and take a boat to Jiangxi.

Guo Hong's identity is still a secret, only Lu and Zeng know.

Together with Cao Shouzhen and Lu Chaoyang, he sent a few newfound young friends to the entrance of the town, and Liu Tai followed far behind.

Several men agreed that they would visit each other in the future.

Guo Hong made a peace charm and gave it to a few new friends.

Guo Qiong refused to ask for it, and said: "I don't believe this, you can keep it yourself." ”

He walked at the end, and suddenly said to Guo Hong: "I seem to have seen you in Chang'an, but I can't remember who it is!" You don't have white spots on your face, right? ”

Guo Hong nodded: "This is only this year." ”

Guo Qiong glanced at the human heads hanging on the branches at the entrance of the town, and said, "I killed more than a thousand people, and only less than ten of them came out, and my courage is too small." ”

"These are the leaders, and no one knows the other mountain people, and if they kill too many bandits, they will report to the imperial court." Cao Shouzhen said.

Ancient Chinese people caught robbers can be killed directly, this is because materials are scarce, robbing things is equivalent to taking away the foundation of survival, and killing is no different, and thieves generally do no evil, very hateful, plus it is risky to escort robbers to the state capital, so the law generally does not have to report by default.

And the government also has the right to arbitrarily suppress bandits, even if they kill all the captured bandits.

Liu Yuanjing has the official status of a third-rank official, which can be disposed of cheaply.

At this time, Guo Qiong suddenly remembered who Guo Hong looked like.

That person is still a well-known figure in the Guo family, the official residence General Jinwu, named Guo Zhongwen, is his distant cousin, who once played tricks on himself.

There are generally several ways for people in large families in this era to choose names, the first is that people of the same generation use the same radicals, the most common are metal, wood, water, fire, earth, sun, ear and other radicals.

Guo Ziyi's second generation has eight sons, namely Guo Yao, Guo Yang, Guo Xi, Guo Yan, Guo Yu, Guo Yu, Guo Shu, and Guo Ying, all of whom are next to Japanese characters.

The sixth son, Guo Hua, married Princess Shengping, the daughter of the Tang Dynasty Zong, and gave birth to four sons and one daughter.

The four sons are Guo Zhu, Guo Zhao, Guo Jun, and Guo Quan, all of whom are next to the golden characters. The daughter Guo is Guo Guifei of Tang Xianzong, and she gave birth to Tang Muzong, who is the aforementioned empress dowager.

There is also a second way to choose a name, which is to add a general character to the name, which is also a common method in later generations.

Guo Zhao's second son, Guo Zhao, was posthumously gifted to Situ, who was the third generation of the Guo family with the highest official position, and he gave birth to five sons and two daughters.

The five sons are Guo Zhongwen, Guo Zhongwu, Guo Zhongli, Guo Zhongci, and Guo Zhonggong, because Guo Zhao is the second, his son takes Zhong as the general character (Bo Zhong Shuji), which is already the fourth generation.

The boss Guo Zhongwen has the largest official position, and it can be said that he is the most prominent in the Guo family.

The Guo family is a big family, Guo Hong is the fifth generation of Guo Ziyi, also known as the fourth grandson, generally using two words, namely the word "line" and the word "Hong", the elder brother Guo Xingzhang used the word "line", and he used the word "Hong", his real name is Hongzheng.

And Guo Qiong is the great-grandson of Guo Ziyi's younger brother Guo Youru, and is the same generation as Guo Zhongwen. Guo Hong didn't know that the new friend in front of him was his distant cousin, but even if he knew, he wouldn't care.

The team gradually moved away, Guo Hongting liked these new friends, and felt that they were full of vitality, and they even yearned for military life a little.

He put the peace charm that could not be sent out into his sleeve, turned around and walked back with Cao Shouzhen and Lu Chaoyang, and met Liu Tai.

The four of them were about to enter the town, when they suddenly saw a man and a woman with a seven or eight-year-old child stumbling under the tree with a human head.

They quietly walked a few steps, and heard the woman say to the man: "San Lang, how is this good, Hu Yande, who you are going to defect to, turned out to be a bandit, who was killed in a wilderness town, and now that the entanglement is exhausted, how can we go back?" ”

The man dressed as a scholar, shook his head and sighed: "The time is unlucky, what can I do?" I have never known this clan brother in my life, but he wrote a letter to the Shaoyang clan saying that he wanted a few copywriters, so he came to defect, I heard that he was a county lieutenant, how could he be killed as a bandit? ”

Guo Hongzheng heard it and knew that it was an unrelated person, so he didn't care, so he joked with Cao Shouzhen and the others.

Liu Tai, who was following behind, stepped forward, took out a little silver from his arms, handed it to the family of three, and said: "You guys go quickly, don't be known to be related to thieves, there are not a few people in Hengshan County who have enmity with Hu Yande, so I am afraid of anger." ”

The couple took the money, hurriedly thanked them, called their son over, and said, "Zeng'er, quickly kowtow to Engong!" ”

Hu Zeng knelt down and saluted, but was stopped by Liu Tai.

"This kid is very suitable for my eyes, and it is a thought to give you this dagger today, and it is a thought to keep it." Liu Tai took out a dagger with a leather sheath from his sleeve and handed it to Hu Zeng.

Guo Hongzheng asked Hu Zeng the year of his birth, pinched his fingers and calculated, and said: "Brother, I see that your bones are strange, and there will be a day when you will get ahead, so let's make a good relationship today." As he spoke, he took out the last peace charm and stuffed it to Hu Zeng.

He didn't expect that Shaoyang Hu Zeng would later become a master of "Song Epic", and many poems were cited in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Chronicles of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty".

After sending away the family of three, Guo Hongzheng and others returned to Taoism.

A few days later, Pei Xiu and Wang Jianjun returned from Hengzhou.

Guo Hong hid out, so as not to worry about Wang Jufang.

Cao Shouzhen brought him a meal and brought news: "That Wang Jianjun was blocked by a woman, claiming to be Hu Yande's concubine, who was pregnant, and asked Wang Jufang to pay for her to return to her hometown." ”

Guo Hong smiled and asked, "What is the truth?" ”

"That woman is a member of Wang Jufang's clan, who was called by him from his hometown to win over Hu Yande, and is now staying here. Now the master stepped forward and sent her a sum of money away. ”

Guo Hong asked, "Where is Wang Jufang from?" ”

"He is from Wuyang, Xuzhou."

Xuzhou is in the territory of Henan.

Cao Shouzhen said casually: "I didn't expect that the Wang family was born to sell cooking cakes, this woman is pregnant with Hu Yande's flesh and blood, and she will only be born next year. The master said that she went all the way back, and she was running around and working hard with Liujia, and the child's nickname was Brother Xing. ”

What Guo Hong didn't expect was that this Wang Xingge was named Wang Jian when he grew up, he was a gangster in his early years, joined the army when he grew up, and finally became the founding monarch of Qianshu.

He was still concerned about Wang Dalang's affairs, so he asked.

Cao Shouzhen said again: "Don't worry, Senior Brother Lu's clan brother has sent a message that the emperor's will has arrived in Hengshan County, and there will be no autumn decision in the middle of this month, and the official document from the Criminal Department will definitely arrive in the second half of the year, and Wang Dalang will not die!" In fact, even if he can't arrive on the 20th, Wang Jufang is now tripped here, and he can't get out to persecute Zhou County's order. The Master said that he had planned to schedule the date of the remote teaching on the 21st (Jiashen Day), and that they could not leave immediately after the ceremony, so they could rest assured. ”

"How is Qi Yuanyi?"

Cao Shouzhen said: "If it weren't for the fact that my junior brother overheard him conspiring with Wang Jufang that day, I really wouldn't have imagined that this old guy would be so insidious." Before the thieves besieged him, he went to the bottom of the mountain under the pretext of excuses, but at that time, in order not to startle the snakes, the master did not let him move. Uncle He learned from the thief who caught him that it was Qi Yuanyi, the old thief, who asked the thief to get rid of him and Uncle Zhang, and he was angry at that time, and immediately led people to search for the Qi family, the old thief had long since disappeared, but found the whereabouts of another person, junior brother, guess who it is? ”

Guo Hong said: "Senior brother, don't sell Guanzi, who did you find?" ”

"It's Wei Zhicheng who went to He's house to seduce the maid to transfer the bait, didn't you keep me staring at him? Later, this kid disappeared, and it turned out that he was buried in the well in the backyard by his master, which was considered to be deserved, and he suffered it himself. ”

Guo Hong nodded.

Cao Shouzhen said again: "Now there is a shortage of a Taoist priest in the Zhenzhen Palace and the Nine Truths Temple, plus two in the Xi'an, which is four positions, and the master said to keep it for our senior brothers." Deng Shaochong is really blessed with this kid, he doesn't have to charge into battle after being robbed, he can get benefits.

"Speaking of Hu Hun who wanted to kidnap you, he can't do it now. He fled down the mountain, and when he went back, he had been raided by the enemy, so he didn't dare to stay, all the way to Hengyang to find his father, and when he passed through Nanyue Town, he had a conflict with the son of Li Yandao's uncle of Nanyue Academy, that Li Qixia was known as the little demon king of Nanyue, and was beaten by Hu Hun because of this nickname, and now he just came back in revenge, discounted his legs, and threw him at the entrance of the town to become a beggar......"

He hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't help but say, "Uncle He Deng has finished the funeral and is ready to go to Chang'an." He Guizhen's illness has been cured, and the long-missing Wang Daoyuan's eldest queen Rong is actually hiding in He's house, and on the day of the tragedy, she happened to be called by He Guizhen to play at home, so she was hidden, and she didn't show up until the past few days. She and He Guizhen heard that the food in the prison was poor, and now they live in Hengshan County, and they deliver food to Wang Dalang every day......"

Cao Shouzhen talked for a while, and when Guo Hong finished eating, he took the dishes and chopsticks and left

In the following days, Guo Hong simply hid under the pretext of practicing, and Liu Yuanjing knew that Wang Jufang was not dead to him, so he acquiesced.

Guo Hong lived in Huixian Pavilion, practiced the Five Elements Quan and Xiao Zhou Tiangong every day, and finally let the body adapt to the two exercises, and combined them into one, and only needed to practice the Five Elements Quan in the future.

By the end of October, the matter of remote teaching came to an end.

Pei Xiu, Wang Jufang and others left, Guo Hong and Cao Shouzhen also got up and went back to Zhu Rongfeng's rest nunnery, with Lu Zhizhen and Liu Tai as companions along the way, tigers and leopards were left and right, and poisonous snakes accompanied the Quartet.

Two days later, I arrived at Xi'an, which was already the eleventh month of the lunar calendar, that is, the twelfth month of the Gregorian calendar, the weather turned cold, Guo Hong left for four months, and when he left, he was wearing a single coat, and when he came back, he was already wearing a thick fur robe, and the whole person was bulging, and he looked very cute.

He is much taller than before, and he trains his body very strong by using the Five Elements Fist for an hour every day.

The Five Elements Fist has now been cultivated to the fifth level, so the effect of the exercise is very strong, and the body and mind have made great progress.

There are three hundred and sixty lines in the world, as long as you use your hands and feet, you have the knack of force, and only when you reach the level of familiarity like an oil seller can you completely master the skills of labor-saving, and the same is true for boxing.

His "Huang Ting Jing" has been cultivated to the consummation of the Lower Yellow Court, but he doesn't know how to break through to the Middle Yellow Court, and it seems that he has encountered a pass.

After cultivating in this world, the Immortal King Jue had also absorbed all the two Gu worm essences left in his body, and the growth rate of the muscles in his arms and chest had slowed down.

Even so, Guo Hong's upper body was very burly, just like the bodybuilders of later generations, but he was only twelve years old, so he had to work his abdominal muscles and lower body to avoid being out of proportion......

The book of Taoism left by Han Huayang, he studied it carefully, and it was a big treasure, with a lot of exercises and boxing techniques by Sima Chengzhen, including the "Sitting and Forgetting Gong" and "Dayu Divine Fist" comprehended from the Yu Monument, as well as the Qingcheng Sword Technique and the Taiyi Daogui Fire Talisman!

These are enough for him to cultivate for many years!

What happened in the Zhenzhen Palace has been spread to Xi'an, and Guo Hong's miraculous deeds and the important role he played in dealing with Hu Yande have impressed all the Taoist children on Zhurong Peak.

The matter of eliminating the Immortal King Gu is confidential, and it involves Guo Jiajun, so it is kept secret.

Although Deng Shaochong didn't say anything, Guo Hong could still see envy in his eyes, presumably because he had been robbed early and returned to Xi'an, feeling annoyed.

Tian Jingxuan didn't forget to ask Guo Hong to endorse it, and when he recited it completely, he didn't show surprise, but began to teach the trick!

Soon, Zhang Quan, who competed with Hu Hun for influence among the Taoist boys, also asked for a recommendation and went down the mountain, and when he left, he changed his name to Zhang Shouyi, saying that he was going to find Niu Hongwei.

Liu Yuanjing reconciled with the emperor and became the emperor of the two dynasties, with the same scenery for a while, and his prestige in the Hengshan area became increasingly important.

The presiding officers of Shangfeng Temple and Qingliang Temple saw that something was wrong, and immediately sent people to send Wuji, Yanqing and others, who were inserted by Hu Yande, to the official on the charge of fornicating with bandits, and soon became the head hanging at the gate of the county seat.

Guo Hong was still thinking about how to deal with Hu Hun and the thief monk who robbed him a few days ago, but now those means are not used, in the face of the general trend, the fate of these little people is crushed like powder!

There are a lot of homework on the mountain: learn "Xuanyuan Beast Control Technique" from the senior brother, learn surgery and talismans from the second senior brother, learn accounting, Kanyu and "I Ching" from the third senior brother, learn mechanical techniques from the fourth senior brother, learn hunting, disguise, ventriloquism, and underwater combat with Liu Tai, and learn various Taoist techniques (in fact, magic) from the master.

Cao Shouzhen's ventriloquist was learned from Liu Tai, and Lu Chaoyang also practiced a hunting method with him, and now there are twelve more twelve-year-old teenagers in this group.

Liu Yuanjing's Taoist skills are very complicated, and the best ones are "riding the horse" and "Dunjia Tibetan soldiers".

For example, Guo Hong used to perform the Taoist technique of changing copper coins in his hand, "chasing money", and it is said that he can turn stones into gold when he practices to the extreme, and "prolonging life" is known as the two most popular spells among believers.

Just like the magicians of later generations turned into playing cards, "chasing money" is the basic skill of Taoist magic, and it is also the easiest to learn and difficult to master, and each sect has its own unique skills.

Guo Hong practiced hard every day, painful and happy, and sometimes felt like the middle school student who was full of homework.

The difference is that he likes all the homework!

The days in the mountains were carefree, Guo Hong didn't know that his brother had rebelled, and the eunuch group had also noticed him.

The current situation is very dangerous, and he is unaware of all this, and he does not know what kind of turbulent waves are waiting for him in the future!
