244 Yangzhou Shuanglong
The wonder of "The Recipe for Longevity" exceeded Meng Xiuyuan's expectations.
The supreme realm of the "Broken King Kong" that Shi Long said is too mysterious, so let's not mention it for the time being. Just in terms of the present, the improvement that this magic skill has brought to Meng Xiuyuan is real.
After practicing the first picture and going through the path of strengthening the lungs with the innate Gengjin Qi, Meng Xiuyuan was full of energy, and then began to cultivate the next four humanoid images.
Sure enough, just like the first picture, the operation of the "Recipe for Longevity" naturally attracted the four innate essences of wood, water, fire, and earth between heaven and earth, and targeted to strengthen the four important internal organs of Meng Xiuyuan's body: liver, kidney, heart, and spleen.
Although it is also a strengthening of the body, the path taken by this "Recipe for Longevity" is very different from the "Fitness Technique" summarized by Meng Xiuyuan in the past.
Directly take the essence of heaven and earth to strengthen the five internal organs of the human body, among which the mysteries of the merits are really profound, which not only helps Meng Xiuyuan's physical strength to go further, but also benefits Meng Xiuyuan a lot at the theoretical level of refining the body.
"So, Meng Gongzi, your first five drawings have all been practiced.
So why don't you start practicing the sixth and seventh pieces as soon as possible?
Didn't you say that the last two paintings are the key to "The Recipe for Longevity"? ”
In the quiet room, Shi Long looked at Meng Xiuyuan and asked eagerly.
More than two months have passed since the last accident. During this period, Meng Xiuyuan has been living in the hut of Shilong, concentrating on the rest of the content of the "Recipe for Longevity".
As the master, Shi Long not only tried his best to provide Meng Xiuyuan with convenience in life, but also asked Meng Xiuyuan about his practice with concern every day.
Every time Meng Xiuyuan made a little progress in "The Recipe for Longevity", this Mr. Shi was even happier than himself.
In this regard, Meng Xiuyuan was grateful, but also found it quite interesting.
"Mr. Shi, you have been seeking the Tao for many years, and you should know better than me.
I can't be impatient when it comes to this practice.
It's the same for you, you have to take your time in the end, so that you may be able to wait for the opportunity to ......."
Meng Xiuyuan stretched out his hand and poured a cup of tea for Shi Long, and said to the other party seriously.
Since Meng Xiuyuan practiced the first picture of "The Secret of Eternal Life" two months ago, he has not hidden his secrets, and has been helping Shi Long, wanting him to practice this kung fu as well.
It's a pity that "The Secret of Eternal Life" is profound and mysterious, and it has gone beyond the scope of ordinary martial arts.
Even if Meng Xiuyuan had told Shi Long all his experience and experience, it was still difficult to help him get started.
There are three difficulties in practicing "The Secret of Longevity", one is that it is special in nature and will conflict with its own original martial arts; The second is that the human body is not suitable for the infusion of heaven and earth essence qi at the beginning of practice, and it is easy to mistake it for a demon and dare not practice again; The third is that cultivators need to adjust to the wonderful state of "forgetting things and self, and thinking between the virtual and the real".
The first two of them were reminded by Meng Xiuyuan, and Shi Long was still able to overcome them, but the third point, even Meng Xiuyuan himself could barely reach it by opening the "state of epiphany" at that time.
For Shi Long, whose comprehension talent is not extreme, it is indeed necessary to maintain a good state for a long time, waiting for a chance in the soul of Fu Zhi to get started.
No, Shi Long didn't care after hearing the sound, and only smiled slightly.
"I understand, Master Meng.
It had been almost three years since I had received this divine book, and before that, I had thought that I had no hope of being able to practice this kung fu in this lifetime, so that my mind was distraught.
But your presence has given me confidence.
Since someone can practice it, it means that this "Recipe for Longevity" is not a scam, and I still have hope.
Every time I listen to your cultivation progress, my heart will become calm......"
At this point, Shi Long paused slightly, glanced at the "Recipe for Eternal Life" placed on the table between the two, and continued with a little emotion: "So please ask Meng Gongzi to tell me how you planned."
Why don't you rush to practice the next two after you have practiced the first five pictures?
In the future, if I have the opportunity to cultivate this step, I can learn from a genius like you. ”
Meng Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then suddenly understood why this Mr. Shi was so concerned about his cultivation progress.
And seeing that the other party said so, he couldn't avoid it anymore, so he had to answer bluntly:
"Mr. Shi, don't blame, the reason why I didn't say it just now is actually because I am still thinking about it.
After practicing the first five diagrams, although I have indeed filled the qi of the five internal organs, I can continue to cultivate the next two diagrams.
But I always feel that I owe something in the middle of this, and my practice is not satisfactory......
"What do you owe?"
Shi Long was very surprised when he heard this, and couldn't figure out what Meng Xiuyuan was still hesitating about, even though there was no content between the fifth and sixth pictures.
Meng Xiuyuan nodded, and explained to Shi Long in a slow voice:
"Well, I have a vague feeling that the first five pictures do not exist in isolation.
The five elements rotate, reinforcing each other, and the same is true of the five organs.
So, lately, I've been trying to see if I can make the paths of these five diagrams work at the same time, so that they are connected to each other......
Shi Long was stunned when he heard this, first glanced at Meng Xiuyuan deeply, and then sighed and said:
"No wonder Meng Gongzi has practiced this magic skill, but I have always been difficult to get started.
With this mentality of striving for perfection alone, I am not as good as you. ”
Meng Xiuyuan smiled and shook his head when he heard this, and said modestly:
"Mr. Shi is overrated, this is just my unfounded conjecture, I don't know if it is correct.
And I've tried for a long time, but I haven't been able to get the hang of it, and it's hard to succeed.
If Mr. Shi cultivates to this point at that time, he may not necessarily have to learn from me. ”
Speaking of this, Meng Xiuyuan hesitated for a moment, and finally said to Shi Long:
"Mr. Ruoshi will definitely try this when the time comes, my experience is that it is best to adjust the five elements qi in the body, so that the five qi and the five internal organs can reach a balanced state as much as possible.
That's what I've been doing lately, but the internal organs of the human body are not active all the time, and it takes a lot of patience and a little luck to get them in full balance. ”
Shi Long's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he sighed at Meng Xiuyuan's sincerity in knowing everything and saying everything, and solemnly arched his hand towards Meng Xiuyuan, and immediately turned around and walked out of the door with the "Recipe for Longevity", no longer disturbing Meng Xiuyuan's cultivation.
……
In the next few days, Shi Long did not come to disturb Meng Xiuyuan's cultivation, and even occasionally Meng Xiuyuan took the initiative to look for him, but he couldn't find him in this house, and he didn't know what to do when he went out.
Out of respect for personal privacy, Meng Xiuyuan did not say anything to ask the reason.
Until noon that day, Shi Long knocked on the door and interrupted Meng Xiuyuan's cultivation:
"Meng Gongzi, I'm sorry to disturb you.
But there are some things I want to tell you......"
Meng Xiuyuan was very surprised when he heard this, he heard Shi Long's solemn voice, obviously there was something important, so he hurriedly immediately collected his gas, waved his sleeves and opened the door, and invited Shi Long in.
"If Mr. Shi has anything, just say it."
Shi Long walked in slowly, and without saying much, he first took out a silk book from his arms and handed it to Meng Xiuyuan, before he spoke:
"Meng Gongzi, you take this thing, go quickly."
Meng Xiuyuan suddenly heard Shi Long's eviction order, and he felt a little strange in his heart. Subconsciously opened the silk book, but saw that it was a rubbings of "The Secret of Longevity", printed very finely, almost indistinguishable from the original.
"Mr. Shi, what's wrong?
What's the trouble you're in? ”
Seeing this situation, Meng Xiu subconsciously felt that something was wrong, and immediately asked Shi Long.
Shi Long shook his head when he heard this, and said in a low voice:
"It's not a problem now, but it's going to be a problem anyway......"
Meng Xiuyuan frowned slightly, and asked out loud:
"What does Mr. Shi mean is that someone is going to embarrass you when you receive the news?"
Shi Long shook his head when he heard this, and explained to Meng Xiuyuan:
"No, but you can guess it.
After all, since Meng Gongzi can receive the news of "The Secret of Eternal Life" and find me, it means that the news has been leaked, and others will definitely be able to find it sooner or later.
This miracle is the supreme method of Taoism, and there are many people on the rivers and lakes.
In the past hundreds of years, every time this miraculous skill appeared, it would cause a bloody storm, and I don't know how many people would die for it.
Meng Gongzi is broad-minded, even if he wins me, he only wants to study this kung fu with me, which is really admirable.
But next time someone else comes, I'm afraid it's hard to have such kindness as Childe......"
At this point, Shi Long's voice paused slightly, first looked at Meng Xiuyuan, bowed deeply, and then said apologetically:
"Meng Gongzi, I won't tell you, I actually thought of this thing a long time ago.
The reason why I haven't mentioned it to you is because I have been thinking about it in my heart before this
I think that if you stay with me to study the "Recipe of Longevity", then when there is a strong enemy, the two of us will deal with it together, and it will definitely be much safer than myself.
I'm sorry, Gongzi Meng. You treat me sincerely, but I have always calculated you in my heart. ”
When Meng Xiuyuan heard Shi Long's words, he didn't blame him, after all, it is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Such careful thinking is not even deliberately framed.
However, Meng Xiuyuan was still a little curious in his heart, and couldn't help asking:
"Since Mr. Shi has this in mind, why did he suddenly change his mind today?"
Shi Long smiled bitterly and said with emotion to Meng Xiuyuan:
"It's not that I changed my mind today, it's that when I heard Gongzi Meng talk to me about the specific details of cultivating the Recipe for Longevity a few days ago, I was touched by Gongzi's all-knowing attitude.
I can feel that you were really thinking about me at that time, and wanted me to be as smooth as possible when I cultivated in the future.
But in my heart, I am still calculating you.
It's really shameful to compare the two......
Perhaps, this is the reason why a layman like me can't practice "The Secret of Longevity". ”
When Meng Xiuyuan heard this, he looked down at the finely printed copy of the "Recipe for Eternal Life" in his hand, and pondered for a moment before he asked Shi Long:
"Mr. Shi has been busy printing this copy for me these days?"
Shi Long shook his head and said to Meng Xiu:
"It's one of them, and the other thing is to dissolve my 'Stone Dragon Dojo'.
Over the years, I have accepted many disciples in my dojo, but I have not taught them too many real skills, which is my dereliction of duty.
Now, seeing that a strong enemy is coming, it is unknown whether I will be able to resist it myself.
It would be unreasonable to let these disciples suffer innocently with me......
Meng Xiuyuan's heart moved when he heard this, and secretly said that this stone dragon's character is really not bad, and immediately asked with concern:
"Then Mr. Shi has figured out where to hide?"
Unexpectedly, Shi Long still shook his head and whispered to Meng Xiuyuan:
"The possession of the Secret of Longevity has been exposed, and I am unwilling to give up this sacred book.
Then hide in the south and north of the world, I'm afraid it's useless.
It's better to stay in this Yangzhou city and wait for a battle with the enemy.
Since I got this "Secret of Longevity", I have been hiding my head and showing my tail, living in seclusion, I am afraid that I have missed the news. It's been so long, but I've been suffocated in my heart.
In this battle, I may be able to clear my mind between life and death, but it will help me step into the threshold of "Longevity Formula......"
Meng Xiuyuan chuckled when he heard this, and immediately pushed the silk book in his hand back to Shi Long, and took the original of the "Recipe for Longevity" in his hand.
"Meng Gongzi, what are you?"
Seeing this, Shi Long couldn't figure out Meng Xiuyuan's intentions for a while. He didn't think that with Meng Xiuyuan's character, he would rob him of his original "Recipe for Longevity".
"There are many strange things about this divine book, and the copy may not be able to fulfill its essence, otherwise there would not be only such an original version handed down for thousands of years.
I haven't practiced kung fu yet, so I have to look at the original to avoid going a fork.
Since Mr. Shi wants to stay, I will accompany you for a while......"
Meng Xiu Yuanwang smiled slightly and said indifferently.
When Shi Long heard this, he looked at Meng Xiuyuan, his heart was full of disbelief, and he was speechless for a while.
……
In this way, life in the hut is business as usual.
The sense of urgency of the attack of a strong enemy was completely shattered by Meng Xiuyuan's words, and Shi Long's cultivation state was much better than before.
The only difference is that the Shilong Dojo was disbanded, and there were no more disciples who came to regularly send daily necessities to the two.
Shi Long originally wanted to hire someone to help run errands, but he couldn't find someone who knew the roots, so he simply gave up in order to avoid trouble.
Meng Xiuyuan and Shi Long, every few days, took turns to buy some food and sundries in Yangzhou City.
On this day, it was Meng Xiuyuan's turn, and he went out early in the morning.
It was a troubled time, but the city of Yangzhou was still prosperous, and the flow of people in the market was almost shoulder to shoulder.
Meng Xiuyuan simply finished buying the things neatly, and was about to turn around and go back to his house and continue his cultivation, but he didn't want to, but he suddenly heard a wail in the crowd:
"Help! Come on, help me!! ”
Hearing the sound, Meng Xiuyuan hurriedly jumped and flew up from the crowd. I saw that it was an old man with snow-white hair and a thin body who was sitting on the ground looking up to the sky and screaming.
His wail attracted the attention of the people around him, but unlike Meng Xiuyuan, who came to watch from the crowd, he subconsciously stayed away from him.
When Meng Xiuyuan fell, a large area had already been vacated around the old man.
"Old man, what's wrong with you?!"
Meng Xiuyuan stretched out his hand to help the old man up, and subconsciously used his true qi to turn around his body, but he didn't see any injuries, and he couldn't help but feel a little strange in his heart.
The old man was surprised to see Meng Xiuyuan descending from the sky, and only felt as if he had found a savior, so he immediately hugged his arm, and then cried heartbreakingly:
"Hero! Expert! You must save me!
My money bag has been stolen and it's all my savings!! ”
Meng Xiuyuan was stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect this old man to cry so much, it was because he lost his money bag.
He was about to open his mouth to comfort, but suddenly he heard a whisper in the far corner. Although the voice was soft, it still couldn't escape Meng Xiuyuan's ears.
"Hey, Young Master Zhong, I think this old man is quite pitiful, why don't we return the money bag to him......"
I'm sorry that this chapter was half an hour late, which affected many friends who were waiting for the update.
It's really that I'm dying of Kavinka today, I can't hold it back, I feel like I'm going to die.
The state is very poor, and I am not very satisfied with what I write.
For the sake of the later content, take a day off, adjust it, and sort out the plot.
