The morning sun rose, and Yangzhou City gradually became lively.

After the city gate was opened at the end of the day, the merchants and peasants rushed in and out of the city gate, and for a while the chariots and horses were noisy and noisy.

A large number of workers came and went to the wharf, in and out of the south gate, this wharf was outside the city, and as the workers came and went, the goods on the boats that arrived yesterday were constantly unloaded from the wharf and sent into the city, and the crowd was constantly coming and going.

From Yangzhou to the east of the Yangtze River, you can go to sea to the Wa Kingdom, Ryukyu and Nanyang places, so Yangzhou has become one of the most important transshipment stations of the Great Sui to the outside world, busier and more tense than any city.

Nowadays, the world is not quiet, and thieves are everywhere, so the first thing that prospered was the more than ten martial arts halls and dojos in the city.

In terms of scale and prestige, the Shilong Martial Arts Field founded by Shi Long, the first master of Yangzhou, is the first to be promoted.

In the past ten years, Shi Long has rarely come to the venue to manage affairs, and all the business is taken care of by his disciples, but because his name is hung on the martial arts field, people from near and far are still on the way.

Shilong's internal and external skills have reached the realm of first-rate masters, otherwise how can he be famous for decades.

This person has a good nature, celibate and does not marry, lives alone in a small village on the outskirts of the city, does not leave the house, and regularly sends people to send the necessary daily necessities by the apprentices, and buries himself in studying and playing the unfathomable Taoist secret book "The Secret of Longevity" all day long.

Passed down from word of mouth through the ages, this book comes from the ancient Yellow Emperor's teacher Guangchengzi, written in oracle bone inscription, esoteric and difficult to understand, the sages have read this book, although there is no lack of wisdom through the world, but no one can understand it, deciphering the whole book.

There are 7,400 glyphs in the book, but only about 3,000 glyphs have been deciphered.

The book is also densely packed with notes from those who have read it, but it is often more confusing than the original text.

Fortunately, there are seven humanoid figures in the book, all of which are in the same posture, and are guided by various symbols such as red dots and arrows, as if they are describing a certain method of cultivation, but those who do not understand its meaning do not practice.

Shi Long has been living with this book for two years, but he still has nothing, just like a treasure in front of him, but there is no key to open the door.

Sitting up this day, Shi Long suddenly saw a blank piece of paper in the crack of the door.

He took a closer look and saw a few lines of small characters written on the white paper, "Wen Jun has "The Secret of Eternal Life", a treasure of Taoism, a legacy of the sages, and I can't help but yearn for it." Tonight, when I step on the moon to get it, Jun Su Yada will not make me go back and forth in vain. ”

After reading it, Shi Long was shocked in his heart, the matter of "Longevity Formula", since he got it, he has always kept it secret, and he doesn't want to be discovered by others.

In addition, the person who came was able to avoid his spiritual sense and send the white paper to the room, which was really beyond imagination.

Shi Long's face was cloudy, and countless thoughts popped up in his mind, all of which were finally vetoed by him one by one.

At night, when the bright moon is in the sky, the door is wide open, Shi Long sits behind the door, and the Taoist treasure "Recipe for Eternal Life" is woven with black gold thread, and is placed in front of him.

Since others have come to the door, evasion is useless, and only by facing difficulties can we truly solve the problem.

Although that person is superb, but if he really moves, he will not know until after the fight.

The moon is in the middle of the sky, and the hour has come.

At this moment, four figures suddenly appeared in the distance, and at the same time rushed towards the small courtyard where Shi Long was.

The speed of these four people was very fast, and there was a "whirring" wind as they walked.

The four of them all landed in the small courtyard, and between the movements, it was like one.

Shi Long's heart sank, these four people were beyond the scope of his ability, but it was clear that the main master had not yet appeared.

"Welcome to the Sect Master."

The four people outside the house shouted in unison.

At this time, I saw that in the middle of the air, a person stepped on the moon out of thin air, his clothes fluttered, and he was extremely chic.

The moonlight was like a silver veil, draped on his shoulders, and in the middle of the air there were invisible steps, step by step, as if slow and fast, and in a few breaths, he came to the courtyard.

Ji Ning smiled slightly and said, "Saint Extreme Sect Ji Ning, I have seen the number one master in Yangzhou, Mr. Shi Longshi, the 'Mountain Pusher'. ”

Shi Long's mind turned back from the scene when Ji Ning crossed into the void and stepped on the moon.

Holy Pole Sect, Evil Pole Sect.

For this sect, which is one of the six sects of the two sects of the Demon Sect, although he has heard of it, he has not really seen it.

When Shilong was famous in the rivers and lakes, Xiang Yutian faked his death and escaped, and the four of You Nitori were forced to live in seclusion for 20 years under a curse, and they were just staggered in time.

Countless thoughts flashed through Shi Long's mind, and finally sighed "sigh", and said: "Your guests are here, Shi has never been far away, please forgive me!" ”

Ji Ning said: "Mr. Shi is serious. ”

"Your Excellency's martial arts are strong, Shi is ashamed of himself, take this "Recipe for Longevity"!"

Shi Long said, and directly threw the elixir of immortality to Ji Ning.

Ji Ning couldn't help but show surprise on his face, he was quite surprised that Shi Long handed over the "Secret of Eternal Life" so neatly, you must know that in the original book, Yu Culture and all kinds of persecution, Shi Long would rather die than hand it over, which shows that his temperament is strong.

As for the original work saying that Shi Long was afraid that "The Secret of Eternal Life" would fall into the hands of Yang Guang and be enlightened and become an immortal emperor, Ji Ning didn't believe it at all.

He raised his hand to take the "Recipe for Eternal Life", only to see that this book was indeed woven with Xuanjin thread, knowing that it was genuine, he did not hide his surprise at the moment, and said: "But I underestimated Mr. Shi, when it is broken, it is broken, and this bearing makes me admire it very much." ”

After Shi Long threw out the "Recipe for Longevity", he felt that his soul was really relaxed, as if a mountain that had been pressing on his heart had been removed, and his spiritual sense was unprecedentedly sensitive.

A kind of realization faintly rose in his heart, maybe he couldn't enter the Grandmaster realm before, just because he had too many distracting thoughts.

At this time, hearing Ji Ning's surprise, he laughed at himself and said: "Although the longevity formula is good, it is something outside the body after all. It's ridiculous that since I got this Taoist treasure "The Secret of Longevity", I have broken my head and still gained nothing. The state of mind is not as peaceful as it was before the book.

After abandoning this book, I felt that the Lingtai was extremely clear. In vain, I used to cultivate the Tao for decades, but I didn't have half of the Taoist state of mind of quiet and inaction, how could I achieve success.

Today, I lost this longevity book, but I suddenly realized what I was wrong with before. ”

Ji Ning felt that the stone dragon at this time was indeed different, although the previous stone dragon had a resolute temperament and extraordinary bearing, but he had too many distracting thoughts, but at this moment, it was like being reborn, and he lost the treasure "Longevity Formula", but his attitude was calm, and there was a faint sense of dust.

If it was Ji Ning himself, he was forced to give up his beloved treasure, and he would definitely not be able to do so calmly, and said at the moment: "Mr. Shi has this understanding, which can be described as the development of the Dao heart, as long as he cultivates in the secret place for a hundred days, the grandmaster can be expected." ”

Although Shi Long was blessed by misfortune, he would not have much good impression of Ji Ning, coupled with the fact that he was developing his spiritual opportunity at this time, he was eager to find a place to cultivate and seek a breakthrough, so he said bluntly: "Shi Mou has an understanding and is eager to make a breakthrough in his cultivation, Your Excellency has obtained the secret of immortality, and Shi Mou will not stay as a guest." ”

Hearing Shi Long's intention to send off guests, Ji Ning smiled and said: "Since Mr. Shi has chased away guests, it is naturally not good for me, a villain, to stay." However, Mr. Shi is a master of the classics of the family, and if I have learned from the secret of longevity, I will come to consult with my predecessors. ”

Although Shi Long didn't think that Ji Ning could comprehend the mystery of the secret of immortality, he was under the eaves, so he had to bow his head, and nodded immediately: "Okay, then Shi Mou will wait for your Excellency's good news." ”

"I won't let Mr. Shi down."

Ji Ning said confidently that the reason why he didn't kill people and seize treasures was because it was very rare for a compound talent like Shi Long who was familiar with Taoist classics and was also proficient in martial arts. If you want to decipher the Recipe for Longevity, you have to find such a professional.
