"Oh? The old gentleman has heard of this strange book? ”

Meng Xiuyuan was quite surprised when he heard Lu Miaozi's words.

He only remembered that this "Recipe for Longevity" was one of the four great divine skills in this world, and it was infinitely wonderful. The original protagonists Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling have grown from two gangsters on the streets of Yangzhou to peerless masters in just a few years.

Would it be so easy to find a book like this?

Seeing Meng Xiuyuan's slightly suspicious look, Lu Miaozi couldn't help but laugh immediately, and said nonchalantly:

"Haha, it seems that you, little brother, still underestimate the old man.

A copy of "The Recipe for Longevity", although it is rare, but if I Lu Miaozi wants to find it, it is only a matter of time......"

Speaking of this, the old man's words changed slightly, and he warned Meng Xiuyuan:

"Little brother, although I don't know where you heard about this "Recipe for Longevity", I still have to remind you of a few words.

Although this strange book is very famous, if you want to use it to cultivate the true qi of martial arts, then I would advise you to give up as soon as possible.

After all, this "Recipe for Longevity" is just a Taoist health qigong, but it is not a martial art that can hurt people.

More importantly, according to word of mouth in the past dynasties, this book comes from Guangchengzi, the teacher of the Yellow Emperor in ancient times, and is written in oracle bone inscription, which is very esoteric and difficult to understand.

Those who read this book among the sages. Although there is no shortage of intelligent people, no one has ever been able to understand and decipher 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 annotations from those who have read the book, but they are often more confusing than the original text.

Fortunately, there are seven humanoid drawings in the book, which seem to describe some kind of cultivation method.

But those who don't know what it means don't practice, if you barely follow the graphics to urge the internal qi, the blood will immediately churn, and as you will go crazy, the danger is extremely ......"

Meng Xiuyuan listened to Lu Miaozi's encyclopedia-like detailed explanation, and his heart moved, and secretly said that this old man was quite sincere at this time, and took the initiative to explain things clearly, and did not use the poor information to deceive him.

Smiling slightly, Meng Xiuyuan replied to Lu Miaozi:

"Thank you for the reminder, but I still want to see this miracle.

I just want to ask, if you want to find out the whereabouts of this sacred book, how long will it take, old man? ”

Seeing that Meng Xiuyuan was so persistent, Lu Miaozi didn't say much, lowered his head and muttered slightly for a moment, and then replied:

"Actually, in my capacity, I was going to do this kind of thing, but I had to climb up and shout, and someone would send the news to the door for flattery.

It's just that although twenty years have passed, I am afraid that Zhu Yuyan's demon woman will still take my life, so I can't reveal my whereabouts.

Well...... So be it, little brother.

If you really want to know the whereabouts of the "Recipe of Longevity", I can use some hidden channels for it and send people to look around the world.

Doing so will not be efficient and the progress will be slow.

But in three or five years, there should be news......"

Meng Xiuyuan's skills have not recovered, and he didn't want to get involved in many complicated things first, but when he heard Lu Miaozi say this, he immediately nodded and smiled at the old man:

"Okay, in that case, we'll meet in five years.

Please also ask the old gentleman to search for the whereabouts of the "Recipe for Longevity" during this period.

When the time comes, if you have anything to ask me to do, we can talk about it in detail......"

Lu Miaozi was stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect Meng Xiuyuan to make such a suggestion, and subconsciously wanted to veto it. But when he raised his eyes, he saw that Meng Xiuyuan's slightly immature face was full of determination, his brows furrowed, and he finally didn't spit out his words.

After pondering for a moment, Lu Miaozi shook his head and said with a long sigh:

"Ha, I, Lu Miaozi, have been chic all my life, and I don't want to, but I am controlled everywhere in front of you, a little child.

Okay, according to the meaning of the little brother, who is the old man who asks for you?

Five years from now, I will surely find out the whereabouts of the Recipe for Longevity.

I hope that when the time comes, the little brother will not let me down......"

Meng Xiuyuan smiled slightly when he heard this, and said to the old man in front of him:

"Thank you for your generosity, then our matter will be settled.

Five years later, how about we still meet in this town? ”

Lu Miaozi hesitated for a moment, then finally shook his head and said to Meng Xiu:

"Although this is not a big city, after all, it is also crowded with people and ears, which is not conducive to talking about business.

Five years later, please come to Pegasus Ranch to find me......"

Meng Xiuyuan didn't refuse when he heard this, he just nodded, lightly arched his hand, and immediately turned away.

……

Time is quiet, five years is a long time, but it is only a fleeting moment.

After saying goodbye to Lu Miaozi, Meng Xiuyuan really found a deserted and uninhabited deep mountain forest, lived in seclusion in it, and never came out again.

Regardless of the world's affairs and concentrating on cultivation, Meng Xiuyuan has long been accustomed to such days, but he does not feel lonely and hard.

On the contrary, it is an indescribable joy to refine qi every day, work hard day and night, and feel your solid progress every minute and second.

Passing through the third life, Meng Xiuyuan was still indulging in this kind of comfortable feeling of emanating his own heart just like when he first learned internal skills on Wudang Mountain.

The difference is that after another reincarnation and rebirth, as well as the great strengthening of the root bones of his body, Meng Xiuyuan's cultivation of internal strength at this time was further accelerated compared to his previous life.

If you have to use a quantitative method, the plug-in that he has always relied on to make a living should be called "forty times Zhang Sanfeng's internal talent" at this moment.

From this, it can be imagined that the happiness he felt from refining his true qi also increased exponentially.

Its momentum is so strong, if it weren't for Meng Xiuyuan's daily recitation of the "Shangqing Huangting Exterior Scene Sutra", which made his spirit clear and his mind clear, and he even felt that he might be addicted to it, so that he would go astray.

This situation did not change until about a year ago.

Because the Northern Soul True Qi in Meng Xiuyuan's body was already abundant enough at that time, he simply started the second stage of cultivation, that is, just like the last period of his previous life, absorbing the pure spiritual qi of heaven and earth and integrating it into his body.

Compared with the previous simple refining of refining qi, although the process of absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was also wonderful and indescribable, the difference was that it was also accompanied by a heavy refining of the heart illusion, so that he couldn't help but change his focus and slightly distracted Meng Xiuyuan's feeling of being in bliss when he cultivated.

The reason why I mention these is because it explains Meng Xiuyuan's mentality at this time.

The five-year time appointment is approaching, and in Meng Xiuyuan's heart, in fact, he doesn't have much expectation for that old Mr. Lu Miaozi, after all, the two are just one side, and the matter of "Longevity" may not be reliable.

Moreover, Meng Xiuyuan was in full swing at this time, and he felt that his martial arts had surpassed his previous life, but he was far from seeing the obstacles and bottlenecks. Both the body and the true qi are still steadily improving every day.

It is objectively estimated that even if he only continues to cultivate according to the divine skills of the Xiaoyao Sect, then in another three or five years, he will definitely make great progress in martial arts.

In this case, Meng Xiuyuan's subjective willingness to go to Nalu Miaozi was naturally not strong.

It was because he had words first and was unwilling to break the appointment that he reluctantly walked out of the mountains.

……

Pegasus Ranch is located in the middle of Hubei, southwest of Jingling County.

The two tributaries of the Yangtze River, Zhangshui and Fushui, draw a large triangular fertile plain here, and the two rivers flow through to irrigate the fertile fields on both sides.

Pegasus Ranch is surrounded by mountains on all sides, enclosing more than ten miles of fertile fields, and only two gorges in the east and west can be accessed. The situation is dangerous, forming a natural screen for the pasture.

There is a city tower at the exit of the gorge, the pit of three zhang wide and five zhang deep is dug out in front of the building, the mouth of the gorge is crossed, the following is full of spikes, it is necessary to pass from the suspension bridge to enter the pasture, there is indeed a husband when the pass, ten thousand people are difficult to cross the trend.

Under such a favorable location, the guards of the ranch could not help but be a little lax, and the sun was warm, and only a strong soldier was dozing on the castle tower.

"Hello, that brother on the castle floor, can you tell me something?

said that Meng Xiuyuan came to Pegasus Ranch to find Mr. Lu Miaozi and fulfill the five-year covenant......"

A clear voice reached his ears, startling the guard. His body trembled, and he hurriedly straightened his helmet, raised the spear in his hand, and looked around, looking for someone to speak.

After a while, he realized that only a young man in simple clothes stood far away under the castle tower.

"Little brother, who are you looking for?"

Although this guard could see that Meng Xiuyuan was dressed plainly and was not very old, he recognized the kung fu that spread his true qi just now. So I didn't dare to slack off, so I hurriedly asked.

"I'm looking for Mr. Lu Miaozi." Meng Xiuyuan smiled slightly and said again.

No, when the guard heard this, he was at a loss:

"Lu Miaozi...... Little brother, are you sure you're not in the wrong place? ”

Apparently, the guard had no idea that there was such a number one in the ranch.

"Oh...... Then forget it. ”

Meng Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment when he saw this, but he didn't regret it, he only felt that he had fulfilled the agreement, and immediately responded, turned around and wanted to leave.

"Wait, little brother, I'd better go and inform you first, you wait a while......"

The guard was clever, and seeing Meng Xiuyuan's refined temperament and martial arts, he knew that he must not be an ordinary person. I'm afraid that I will miss a big event, so I still choose to be cautious.

Meng Xiuyuan heard that there was nothing to do, nodded his head, and stayed where he was.

After about a cup of tea, the drawbridge in front of the city tower was suddenly lowered, and the city gate slowly opened, and a maid in brocade clothes walked out of the door:

"Master Meng, please come with me......"

The maidservant's attitude towards Meng Xiuyuan was very strange, she only said so lightly, and without waiting for Meng Xiuyuan to respond, she turned around and walked towards the city tower, leading the way in front.

Meng Xiuyuan didn't care, walked leisurely behind her, crossed the suspension bridge together, and walked towards the inside of the ranch.

Upon entering the city, there is a wide ramp that stretches upwards, lined with houses and built against the mountain. People and cars come and go on the road, and children frolic in groups, just like a thriving big city.

The maid took Meng Xiuyuan with her, first along the main road to the inner castle where the main residence of the main place, and then walked around in the inner castle for a long time, turning to a remote and quiet garden with beautiful scenery in the back mountain.

"Mr. Lu is inside, please let Meng Gongzi go in by himself......"

With such a sentence, the servant girl immediately turned around and left.

When Meng Xiu saw this scene, he was not angry, but couldn't help but smile in his heart, just saying that this old Mr. Lu was arrogant, but the situation was not too good.

"Little brother, you're finally here!"

Before Meng Xiuyuan entered along the road, the old Mr. Lu Miaozi had already greeted him.

As soon as the two met, they couldn't help but look at each other.

Meng Xiu looked at Lu Miaozi from afar, only to feel that he hadn't seen him for five years, and his breath had become much weaker, obviously suffering from internal injuries.

And Lu Miaozi looked at Meng Xiuyuan, but felt that this little brother had not seen him for five years, not only had he grown from a child to a handsome and elegant young man, but his skills were even more unfathomable.

"Now that I have agreed with the old gentleman, I dare not break the contract.

I just don't know, has the old gentleman found the whereabouts of the "Recipe for Longevity"? ”

Meng Xiuyuan lightly arched his hand and asked Lu Miaozi bluntly.

Hearing this, Lu Miaozi smiled and nodded, and immediately said to Meng Xiuyuan:

"There are indeed some eyebrows on this matter, but let's go into the house and talk about the specific matter......"

Meng Xiuyuan nodded, and followed behind Lu Miaozi with a smile. The two walked all the way in, turned left and right, and suddenly opened up in front of them, on the platform near the cliff, there was a two-story small building, with an elegant style.

The main entrance of the small building is engraved with a plaque of "Comfort Nest", and the two beams and pillars at the entrance are each hung with a couplet, which is written on the wooden plaque, "Chaoyi tunes the piano, and dusk should be drummed; The old rain is coming, and the new rain is coming. "The font is dusty and powerful.

Lu Miaozi asked Meng Xiuyuan to sit down on the balcony on the second floor, poured tea for him with his own hands, and then spoke:

"Little brother, I'm glad you can come today.

It's not in vain that I asked for the "Recipe for Longevity", and I have been running around a lot in the past five years.

It's just that, before I talk about the "Recipe for Longevity", I want to talk about what I want you to do......"

Meng Xiuyuan took a sip of tea, looked up at Lu Miaozi and said:

"Actually, sir, if you don't say it, I can roughly guess what you call a transaction.

Five years ago, when I listened to your tone, I obviously had a deep grudge against Zhu Yuyan, the queen of the Yin Sect.

What you want me to avenge you in the future, right? ”

When Lu Miaozi heard Meng Xiuyuan's words, he immediately nodded solemnly and replied:

"What the little brother said is true, until this time when I am in my last years, there are not many things in my heart.

There is this resentment, and it is difficult to let go.

Zhu Yuyan's demon woman's evil skills have reached the extreme of the demon gate, and she has the unfathomable skills of ghosts and gods, Ning Daoqi has fought with her three times, although she can win, but in the end, she can't.

With the old man himself, I can't think of a way to deal with her, so I can only survive in this Pegasus ranch......"

Meng Xiuyuan shook his head slightly when he heard this, and said to Lu Miaozi:

"Old gentleman, let's not talk about it, I don't know how Zhu Yuyan is a person, whether she is full of evil and deserves to die.

Speaking of her martial arts, even Ning Daoqi, who is known as the 'first person in the Central Plains martial arts', can't help her.

Why do you think I can do it? ”

Lu Miaozi smiled when she heard this, her eyes turned towards Meng Xiuyuan, and she said confidently:

"Little brother, trust me, as long as you follow my plan.

In less than thirty years, I will give you the strength to overcome the enchantress! ”

Brothers who are more familiar with the Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty, can you talk about this book in the comments?

For example, what do you think is a particularly exciting plot, what characters you particularly like or hate, or what is difficult to understand.

For so many days, I tried to squeeze out as much time as possible to read the original book, but until now, I have only read half of it, and I am a little dizzy from it.

I tried my best to study this book with the feeling of studying "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" and "Dragon Babu" before, but I felt that something was wrong with how I looked at it.

There are many characters in the scene, and there are many descriptions of various battles and adventures, but after watching the plot, I don't feel that I have left a deep impression, that is, I remember that the two protagonists, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, grew up all the way and met all kinds of beauties......

Is the wonderful plot all behind?
