Chapter 13 The Recipe for Longevity
When I came to Datang, it had just entered summer, and it was already halfway through autumn.
In the past half a year, Fang Yuanmingli has met friends with poetry and books, a Qixi poetry meeting, and several swan songs have pushed his fame to the peak. Bo is south of Huaiyang, and he is the first to learn. It is already famous in Datang. If you go in and out of various places, you are all talents who are competing to recruit at the gate valve level.
Secretly, he traveled eight hundred miles, smashed several mountain bandits, and knew how to fight for thousands of miles, and basically figured out the operation and cultivation methods of true qi. Because of his true face, no one knows. And there is no trace, and those who have fought are all in the way of face, and they will not go around shouting that they have been defeated, and they don't even know who the opponent is. Except for a small area with a certain deterrent effect, there is basically no name out. It also saved Fang Yuan a lot of thought.
Guoshu is to develop the human body, majoring in life. Pay attention to the condensation of spiritual will, and the imperial body cannot do it. It is a way to develop oneself with both spirits.
True Qi cultivation is the way of refining a breath internally, taking the path of inducing qi into the body, practicing qi and transforming the gods, and using the external heaven and earth to exercise the human body in the heaven and earth.
There is no difference between the two, and after all, they have the same goal.
According to Fang Yuan's experience of fighting dozens of battles, the Guoshu Bao Dan was between the appearance of a true qi cultivation innate grandmaster. When the national art reaches the realm of Baodan, the explosiveness and realm are not inferior to those of ordinary innate grandmasters, but the endurance is stronger.
Probably according to the original book, Dan Jin should be equivalent to Yu Wenhua and such grandmasters at this time. The explosive combat power belongs to the general grandmaster, and the close-range burst can kill most of the grandmasters, but considering the action ability of the true qi powerhouse after reaching the innate grandmaster, unless it is hard to, it is difficult to kill the grandmaster strong.
Based on this calculation and the strength of the original work, Fang Yuan estimated that he could confront the master at the top of the chief division.
I should be a hard steel grand master. As for winning or losing, it's just speculation that I haven't fought before, but it's pretty much the same. At the pinnacle of the same realm, the way of national art is not inferior to the way of true qi.
It's just that I don't know what the purpose of Dao Zhu sent him to this world.
At this time, Yang Guang's second expedition to Goryeo was not long ago, and there were still three years before the plot began.
Yang Guang was still sitting in Luoyang, and the main force of the Sui army still existed, although there was chaos in the world at this time, it had not yet hurt the rule.
The various gate valves were ready to move, but they were still afraid of Yang Guang's existence, and they were only secretly preparing.
Fang Yuan was famous because of his talent, and he also had to participate in several local poetry meetings. With Fang Yuan's spiritual cultivation, the earth has been touched by the dragon and snake for 30 years and 15 years. In the time and space of the Tang Dynasty, basically beating all the talented people and celebrities.
Whether it is the interpretation of Confucianism, Taoism, classics, poetry, calligraphy and painting, Fang Yuan has his own opinions. Moreover, there are more than 1,000 years of history after the Sui Dynasty, and literati stand behind it. Fang Yuan is undoubtedly at the top of the Tang Dynasty in terms of literature.
Shilong, the first master in Yangzhou, is dedicated to cultivation. Several times when he heard Fang Yuan's great discussion of Taoist doctrine, he couldn't help but be convinced.
Fang Yuan knew that Shi Long should be the time to obtain the Immortal Essence at this time.
But because of uncertainty, he did not act rashly.
The two are fascinated, and the other is purposefully resigned. Not long after, the two met at a forum, and they became friends and confidants of the Taoist who made tea and talked about Taoism. Fang Yuan's first-hand tea art made Shilong a strange art.
The autumn rain continued. It seems that we are in a hurry to finish this year's rain and enter the winter.
Fang Yuan was dressed in a green shirt and a scarf, dressed as a scholar. He held an oil-paper umbrella alone and carried a small jar in his hand. Come to a small manor on the outskirts of Yangzhou.
Before Fang Yuan entered the garden, he heard a hearty voice coming. Fang Daoyou is here, and he is far away. Faux pas.
I haven't seen him for a few days, and Shi is really tasteless tea. With the voice, a stone dragon dressed in a Taoist robe, with fluttering sleeves and red light, flashed out of the courtyard gate.
At this time, Shilong has more than enough sixtieth year, and he has been pushing the mountaineer and has been famous in Yangzhou for decades. At this time, his face seemed to be about forty years old, showing that he was doing good qigong. Seeing Fang Yuan come to the door in person, Shi Long smiled.
In Fang Yuan's division, the grandmasters of the Tang Dynasty were divided into three categories according to their combat power:
One is that although Shi Long is strong and innate and ranks among the grandmasters, he is not very enterprising, and he has no potential and stamina at this time.
The second is Yu Wenhua and, Du Fuwei and others have miraculous skills, and there are few opponents in the rivers and lakes.
The third is the queen of yin, the four holy monks and the like, the merit of the creation, and the vertical and horizontal martial arts are almost invincible.
In addition to the differences in the attributes of the true qi and the thickness of the true qi cultivated by the exercises, there are also differences in the mind.
Like Shilong, he is dedicated to cultivating the Tao and guarding the name of the first master in Yangzhou for decades, but in fact, he rarely has the opportunity to do it. Like in the original book, he and Yu Wenhua's cultivation should have been on the same level. As a result, he lost a chip in his mind, and he was even more defeated in actual combat.
And the first-class of the four holy monks is purely a hundred years of practice, and the true qi of Buddhism is incomparably vast. It's not worse than the Great Grandmaster, it's just a step worse than the realm.
Fang Yuan and Shi Long were polite, and the two entered the door hand in hand.
He casually put the jar in his hand on the table in the side hall of the small manor, and took the paper umbrella. Fang Yuancai joked leisurely: Brother Shi Dao has been looking good recently, and he is full of Taoism. Could it be that the martial arts have made great progress and the Taoism has been successful?
Where, where. Fang Jushi teased. Fang Daoyou is the real Taoist master. Shi Long smiled. A compliment seems to be requested. The communication is free and easy.
Introducing Fang Yuan to sit on the futon in the living room, Shi Long rolled up his sleeves and said with a smile: Recently, Shi got a strange book, and he has a lot of questions, and he wants to ask Fang Jushi.
Fang Yuan was overjoyed. I didn't expect that the talented man who copied the public clothes with a bad taste would have this benefit. What Shi Long said was probably the secret of longevity.
Fang Yuan had not cultivated True Qi, and Shi Long had always thought that Fang Yuan was just a weak scholar who was erudite and talented.
The cultivation of national arts to the realm of Fang Yuan is not the same national art master, and there is no trace of cultivation at all.
Shi Long, who had just obtained the secret of immortality, had no clue at all, and almost went mad several times. Thinking of Fang Yuan's profound attainments in Taoism. In addition, Fang Yuan was not a martial artist, so he sent his apprentices to the door several times to invite him. There was a scene of Fang Yuan's visit today.
Shi Long lives in this small suburban manor on weekdays, except for the occasional apprentice who comes to deliver meals and sweep, he is alone. At this time, when Fang Yuan arrived, Shi Long also boiled water sencha with his own hands, and the two talked while making sencha.
Shi Long asked a few Taoist questions, many of which were excerpts from the recipe for longevity. Fang Yuan answered them one by one and gave an explanation. Shi Long couldn't help but be overjoyed. It seems that there is a way to crack the recipe for longevity.
The two talked about a few tea times. Fang Yuancai asked indifferently: I just heard Brother Shi Dao say that he got a strange book, could it be a Taoist classic that has never been born?
Shi Long added water to Fang Yuan's teacup with his sleeve and smiled slightly, Fang Daoyou, just wait and go to Shi's quiet room to have a look. I'm waiting for the layman to clear up his doubts.
The two of them finished their tea. Shi Long took Fang Yuan into the backyard.
In the innermost part of the courtyard there is a quiet room, which is as wide as three feet. On the wall facing the door is a couplet: "If you are good, you will help the world, and if you are poor, you will stand on your own." ”
There are three or four futons scattered underneath, and only one has traces of use on it.
Shi Long flipped out a thin book and handed it to Fang Yuan.
The two sat on the futon opposite each other. Fang Yuan took the book and looked at it, the color of the pages of the book was like gold and jade, but the material was not gold or jade. Made of an unknown material, the slight one is very tough.
I opened the book, but there were only about a dozen pages. On the front is the main text of the oracle bone script, followed by seven sets of patterns.
About half of the text has been deciphered and commented, and the understanding and commentary of the masters of the past generations are different. The Taoist terminology in the clouds and fog is confusing.
Fang Yuan directly skipped it and carefully wrote down the seven thousand words of oracle bone inscription and the seven patterns behind it.
The development of the spirit of the national art was even more than that of the True Qi Innate Grandmaster, and Fang Yuan now almost had the ability to never forget.
About a quarter of an hour later, Fang Yuan put down the book.
glanced at Shi Longdao, who was looking at himself with his eyes: Brother Shi Dao, most of the annotations of this book know what it is, but I don't know why. The reference value is not great.
And the original text still needs to be cracked to make a breakthrough. Brother Shi Dao, this book should have a great origin.
Shi Long smiled, only deducing that it was obtained by accident. If you want to cultivate the Tao of your predecessors, you must have experience, and you want to refer to one or two. But he doesn't talk about the origin and real purpose of the book.
Fang Yuan had already memorized the entire book at this time, and he was too lazy to fight with Shi Long.
We talked about the contents of the book again. Fang Yuan got up and said goodbye: Brother Shi Dao, I have written down most of the content. Brother Shi Dao also needs to send a copy by hand. In three days I can send a copy of what I can decipher. The annotations are for your reference, but I may not be able to do all of them. Translation content: Brother Shi Dao still needs to wait for three days.
After that, he quit the stone dragon and left.
Shi Long sighed and said secretly: The mystery of this longevity secret is difficult, and I am afraid it will be difficult to penetrate. However, if you have Fang Daoyou unravel some of the mysteries, you may be able to go further and slowly get the essence.
Although I didn't know that Fang Yuan secretly got this Tang Dynasty's first golden finger. But he finally had some comfort for Shi Long, Fang Yuan could understand the oracle bone inscription, and he also needed to be able to translate it completely, so he would be able to understand it. Although there is a suspicion of leakage, it is much better than his own hard work.
Fang Yuan got the advantage, and said secretly in his heart: It is better to save Shi Long when he was robbed later, and this cause and effect should be solved.
In the evening, when he returned to the city mansion that was now converted into Fang's mansion, Fang Yuan summoned Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling to the study when he entered the door.
This house still needs to say that Fang Yuan came on that day.
Fang Yuan took the two of them out of the dilapidated house, and went to the city to use some tricks. , with a pendant, handicrafts in exchange for a gold bead property.
The three of them changed their outfits first, and then bought this small manor in the city and settled down.
The house was once lived by a foreign official. Due to the death of an official due to typhoid fever, the family road declined, and the family was ready to move back to their hometown, so they were sold at a low price where the human tooth was. happened to be picked up by Fang Yuan for a bargain.
The house has three entrances in front and back, each room is complete, and there is a hidden small garden, which makes Fang Yuan more satisfied. Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling lived in such a good house for the first time. I was suspicious of my dreams for several days.
In the following days, people looked for a middle-aged couple and a few little girls who had fled.
The cook, the sprinkler and the cleaning staff are all ready, and the small house is back to life.
In the past few months, Fang Yuan has been busy making friends, and secretly groping for true qi. It just taught the basic exercise methods such as the three-body posture, horse step, and other basic exercises of the two small national arts, and passed on the set of shape and meaning small fighting exercises, so that the two small ones can open their bodies and lay a good foundation.
The other is to practice Chinese and calligraphy. Fang Yuan didn't accept the two juniors as apprentices, but just asked them to call them big brothers.
This is also one of Fang Yuan's bad tastes.
Dragon Snake accepted Wang Chao as a little brother, but basically didn't teach Wang Chao anything, this little brother didn't live up to his name, and finally mixed a lot of benefits from Wang Chao's side. This time, I accepted two small ones, so let's do more of the obligations of the big brother.
In order to maintain the progress of the plot as much as possible, Fang Yuan's other vest is just a trick or a person who has not appeared in the original work, and has no impact on the overall situation. At present, the plot of Datang has not changed in the slightest due to Fang Yuan's arrival.
If you ask if there are any changes in the future? Just look at the protagonists are here with Fang Yuan, it's hard not to change the plot.
The longevity formula must still be used by the two elementary schools, after all, the original two elementary schools started with the longevity formula.
In addition, Fang Yuan's intervention three years earlier, the two of them are not beggars and gangsters, and they may not be able to get the secret of immortality by chance. However, the longevity recipe has already arrived, just look at the right opportunity to record it and let the two children get it. I don't know if this counts as the inertia of the plot.
It's just that if you let them learn in advance, the change is too large, and the later stage is equivalent to losing the advantage of their own foresight.
Fang Yuan thought again, this wasn't when the dragon snake was completely a rookie at the beginning. Now he should also belong to the pinnacle in the Datang world. Even if you make a mistake in your own inference, you can't do the great grandmaster, and you will at least have the peak level of the grandmaster.
That's it, even if the two elementary masters martial arts in advance, the plot changes but the general trend remains the same.
There are two protagonists, and there are advantages in their own prior knowledge, plus a martial arts talent. Do you really have to rely on that plot advantage to mix?
Although Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling are called Brother Fang Yuan. But these months of privileged life, as well as practicing martial arts. Entering and leaving to be served by servants is equivalent to going from hell to heaven. In their hearts, they had wholeheartedly regarded Fang Yuan as a teacher, father, or even a relative, and this was the first person in the world to be so kind to them.
After getting along for a long time, seeing Fang Yuan was gentle and had no shelf, and seeing Fang Yuan, he was even more out of shape.
But in the eyes of Kou Xu and the others, Fang Yuan and the image of his father and master in his heart were superimposed.
I saw two small pure eyes. Fang Yuan sighed inwardly, people are not grass and trees. Their closeness still made Fang Yuan feel a lot of emotion.
As soon as he thought about it, Fang Yuan intuitively felt that his soul was clear, and his heart was as clear as if the whole person had picked up a piece of dust.
Kou Xu and the two of them suddenly became stunned when they saw Brother Fang calling, and the two of them didn't dare to interrupt.
Standing quietly near Fang Yuan, after a while, I saw Fang Yuan raise his head and let out a long breath.
The long gas turned into a white mist that was as long as a few feet, passed by the two small ones, and slashed the window paper with a loud bang. Only slashing into the courtyard, like a flying sword in the air.
The kung fu of turning into a sword is becoming more and more profound, and the ordinary weaker grandmaster can be killed on the spot in one breath when he is caught off guard.
As soon as Fang Yuan came back to his senses, he saw the stunned looks of the two little ones, and then he remembered the purpose of his own recruitment of them.
Let them wait for a long time in vain, but they will figure out the joints because of this, and the spiritual realm will rise again. The protagonist's luck is really unpredictable.
