013 Hard work is not easy to come by
Zhang Cuishan's family's return to Middle-earth from Ice and Fire Island means the official unfolding of the plot, and it also means the beginning of the tragic experience of Zhang Wuji, an unlucky child.
Suffering from cold poison, losing his parents, suffering and suffering for many years, suffering from thousands of miles of bumps, and suffering from human affection, Xiao Wuji before obtaining "Jiuyang Divine Skill" is really a human tragedy.
Meng Xiuyuan, who is the uncle, although he has not met yet, even if it is just out of the consideration of the friendship of the Wudang Seven Heroes above, he will definitely not stand idly by.
At least, Meng Xiuyuan was already sure in his heart that he would not let the fifth senior brother Zhang Cuishan and his wife commit suicide at the master's hundred-year-old banquet.
What is difficult to do is the fact that Zhang Wuji is suffering from cold poison.
Although he knew that Wuji was taken away by the two elders of Xuanming in the process of returning to Wudang Mountain from Ice and Fire Island, there were two reasons that made it difficult for Meng Xiuyuan to prevent it from happening.
First, the memory is vague, Meng Xiuyuan has long been unable to remember very accurately which way Zhang Cuishan's family came back from Wudang Mountain, and where they met the second elder Xuanming.
His impression of "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" in his previous life mainly came from the TV series. He has also read Mr. Jin's original book piecemeal, but he doesn't remember the content very clearly.
Meng Xiuyuan didn't know which version of the world of "Yitian" he had crossed over.
I only remember that Zhang Cuishan's family met the second senior brother Yu Lianzhou on the sea back, and then rushed back to Wudang Mountain together. On the way, he encountered the two elders of Xuanming who were invincible, and Xiao Wuji was robbed, and when he returned to Wudang Mountain, he was close to Zhang Sanfeng's 100th birthday.
Now on this Wudang Mountain, except for Meng Xiuyuan and Zhang Sanfeng himself, Yu Lianzhou's kung fu is already the highest, and the rest of the people have no ability to save Xiao Wuji from the hands of the second elder Xuanming.
Meng Xiuyuan originally thought that in the past year and a half, he would accompany Yu Lianzhou to walk everywhere, and maybe he could happen to meet Zhang Cuishan's family who returned from Shanghai like in the original book.
But this plan was soon disrupted by a second, more serious problem.
That is, in the past year, Meng Xiuyuan suddenly had a big problem with his own practice, and he had no time to think about protecting Zhang Wuji.
Just over a year ago, when Meng Xiuyuan was practicing one day, he suddenly felt different from the relaxed and comfortable feeling in the past, but his whole body was unbearable, as if he was suffering from burning himself.
Under such a vision, Meng Xiuyuan's incomparably strong internal force almost burst out of control in an instant, breaking through his meridians.
Fortunately, Meng Xiuyuan's meditation skills were solid, and he forcibly controlled the operation of the true qi in his body in an instant of life and death, and reluctantly returned the internal qi to the dantian after a week of exercises, so that there was no major mistake.
After this, Meng Xiuyuan was naturally very frightened, and did not dare to practice internal skills anymore, so he immediately found his master Zhang Sanfeng and asked why this happened.
Zhang Zhenren was originally in retreat to learn martial arts, but at a very critical stage, he did not see outsiders in his quiet room.
But when he heard the word from the boy that he, the eighth disciple, was looking for him in a cultivation emergency, he ignored the martial arts principles he had learned, and directly pushed the door and walked out.
Comrade Zhang, who has always been almost doting on this little apprentice, was also frightened when he heard Meng Xiuyuan talk about the dangerous situation when he practiced the exercises, and hurriedly went to explore Meng Xiuyuan's internal condition.
As a result, he only felt that Meng Xiuyuan's internal strength had improved greatly, and the degree of internal strength was only similar to that of himself, and he couldn't see any problems.
In the end, he had no choice but to let Meng Xiuyuan take the risk of exercising again, so as to explore the source of the abnormal heat.
Of course, you must have made all the preparations before this.
Zhang Zhenren first let Meng Xiuyuan eat a lot of Bao Dan that cleared his heart and concentrated his mind, moistened the meridians and protected his veins, and then took him to find a leisurely and quiet waterfall pool in the back mountain of Wudang.
He cautiously put his hands on Meng Xiuyuan's vest, ready to support Meng Xiuyuan's luck at any time, before he spoke out and let Meng Xiuyuan start.
This time, Zhang Sanfeng had a number in his heart.
Speaking of which, Meng Xiuyuan's situation at that time can be said to be a mixed blessing and a mixture of blessings and misfortunes.
Happily, the reason why Meng Xiuyuan felt that he was unusually hot during his exercise was not because there was something wrong with his internal cultivation. On the contrary, it is the performance of Meng Xiuyuan's "Pure Yang Wuji Gong" that is about to be completed.
After nine years of cultivation, Meng Xiuyuan, who has "ten times Zhang Sanfeng's internal strength talent", has become more and more profound, and has reached the most critical stage of transforming from quantitative change to qualitative change.
I have to mention here that the core idea of "Pure Yang Wuji Gong".
The ancients said: Pure yang is an immortal, pure yin is a ghost, and half yin and half yang are human.
Human life is the process of dissipation of yang energy. This innate yang energy makes people grow, multiply, and survive, and it is inevitably lost in the process. In a sense, it is close to the concept of "vitality" that we can more easily understand.
Therefore, when a person is born, the innate yang energy is at its peak, and until all the yang energy is dissipated in old age, it is the time of life.
Throughout his life, it is absolutely impossible for this innate yang qi in a person's body to increase, and even if he exhausts his precious medicinal materials and learns peerless martial arts, it will only delay his depletion at most.
Legend has it that many Taoist qi practitioners pursue to go against the grain and exhaust the yin energy in their body and soul in order to achieve the transcendent realm of the so-called "pure yang".
Although the "Pure Yang Wuji Gong" practiced by Meng Xiuyuan was not so fantastical, it was somewhat influenced by it.
After Zhang Zhenren was middle-aged, he integrated his lifelong martial arts theory and Taoist doctrine to create "Pure Yang Wuji Gong", whose true meaning is to pursue the innate yang energy of the human body, protect it and use it in internal strength, and complement each other with internal force.
It not only slows down the dissipation rate of innate yang energy, prolongs people's life, but also makes the continuous purification of internal forces in this process, becoming extremely rigid and yang, and infinitely powerful.
At this time, Meng Xiuyuan was in the final stage of accumulating enough internal force, naturally purifying internal force and merging innate yang qi.
It is a good thing, but what Zhang Sanfeng is worried about is that this originally mysterious process is very dangerous for Meng Xiuyuan.
Because of Meng Xiuyuan and this "Pure Yang Wuji Gong", both of them are too special.
When Zhang Zhenren created this "Pure Yang Wuji Gong", he also thought that when he reached this last step, the closer a cultivator got to the innate yang qi hidden in his body, the more he would be affected by it.
But in his expectation, this should have been a good thing, cultivators will be affected by the innate yang qi, and they will have a sense of vitality and dead wood spring, which is beneficial to both the body and spirit.
Because in his estimation, no matter who cultivates this "Pure Yang Wuji Gong", if he wants to go to this last step, he must already be a pale old man who has entered his old age.
No matter how well you maintain your body, no matter how much you abstain from self-cultivation, there is not much innate yang energy left in your body.
After all, if this "Pure Yang Wuji Gong" is cultivated from scratch, in the early stage of pursuing purity, the growth of internal force is obviously slow compared to other advanced internal strength.
Even Zhang Sanfeng himself, in his early years, he practiced Jiuyang Gong to quickly accumulate profound internal strength, and after middle age, with his talent and pedantry, he turned to "Pure Yang Wuji Gong", forcibly refining and purifying his internal force, and only reached the threshold of Meng Xiuyuan at the age of sixty.
He never imagined that someone would be able to practice "Pure Yang Wuji Gong" to the realm of Dacheng when he was fifteen or sixteen years old and his innate pure yang had not been dissipated too much.
What's more, the last step of purifying the internal force and merging the innate pure yang is the difficult and illusory step, Zhang Zhenren walked for ten years before he stepped over.
Meng Xiuyuan's special physique was forced to compress it into a year.
The vigorous vitality brought by feeling the innate pure yang was naturally compressed, and it became an unbearable restlessness for ordinary people.
Just as a perfume would become a stink if it was ten times stronger, this original benefit was too eager for Meng Xiuyuan, and it inevitably turned into suffering and testing.
