Chapter 8 Internal Strength and Mental Method
Baishu Township is not far from the county seat of Wei County, and the group arrived at Shangmanzigou Village on the edge of Xiaowutai Mountain at noon, and after eating in the village, they left the carriage and horses in the village, and the group copied a sheep intestine path into the mountain.
But not long after walking, Su Hao felt that he couldn't catch his breath, he was covered in cold sweat, and his legs were weak.
Looking at Ding Xian, who was in good shape in front of him, and the four catchers, Su Hao's eyes showed envy, and after he started practicing, he understood why Su An said that the paper figure secret technique was not a good thing.
Because the paper man secret art is a side door, unlike the orthodox Taoist cultivation method, the Taoist inner pill method is for the purpose of immortality, even if you are a hundred years old, you can walk like flying, and the paper figure secret art is completely to squeeze your own essence and spirit to exert the power of the spell.
Very few ancestors of the Su family in the past dynasties lived past the age of thirty-five, and this was because his grandfather obtained the recipe for raising the yuan, his father and grandfather only lived to be in their thirties, and the ancestors of the Su family even died of illness at the age of twenty-four.
"Hurry!"
After pondering for a while, Su Hao waved his sleeves, and four paper figures and a roofless sedan chair flew out of his sleeves, which was a necessary tool for the Su family to hurry, and the strength of these four paper figures was no worse than that of a third-rate martial artist, and they all had the strength of a thousand catties, even if he was carried in the deep mountains and dense forests, he could walk like flying.
The next moment, the paper man and the sedan chair gradually became larger, and after a while, it became the size of an ordinary person, and Su Hao boarded the sedan chair.
Seeing this scene, Ding Xian and the catchers were not surprised, they had also accompanied Su An to kill the evil warlock before, and the Su family's paper man technique, they had already seen it.
Without Su Hao's drag, the group's forward speed increased greatly.
"Fu Bo, can our Su family practice martial arts?"
On the sedan chair, Su Hao said with a solemn expression, now he has no fame, he wants to keep the Su family's family business, this paper man secret technique, he has to practice, but this paper man secret art will be short-lived after practicing for a long time, he doesn't want to die young.
The secret Inner Dan method of Taoism, he can't get it, and he doesn't dare to practice if he gets it, the Su family, as a side door, is not treated by Taoist people, and now the well water does not violate the river water, if he takes away the inheritance of others, he will wait to be hunted down to death.
However, he wants to prolong his life and maintain his health is not impossible, there are also a lot of internal strength in the martial arts that are born from Taoism, and also have the effect of health preservation, such as Wudang School and Shaolin Temple, both of which are not only Taoist Buddha holy lands, but also Jianghu factions, Taoist and martial practitioners, both Taoist Inner Dan Method, and those who cultivate internal strength.
If you can obtain a Taoist internal strength method, it is not impossible to prolong life and maintain health, and compared with the Taoist inheritance, the risk of planning this internal strength method is much smaller, as long as you don't make a big move like Wudang, it will not cause public anger.
Fu Bo, who had been hiding in Su Hao's sleeve, couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Su Hao's words, but soon guessed Su Hao's thoughts, and couldn't help shaking his head and said:
"Difficult!"
"Before, the ancestors of your Su family also sent descendants to worship the Huashan faction and learned the internal strength of the Huashan faction, but after nearly ten years of internal cultivation, they couldn't withstand the destruction of the secret art of the paper man."
After a pause, Fu Bo continued: "According to the speculation of your Su family ancestors, at least the internal cultivation at the level of a martial arts master can offset the loss of essence and spirit caused by the secret technique of the paper man. ”
Hearing Fu Bo's words, Su Hao's expression was gloomy, martial arts master, if he could cultivate to the level of a martial arts master, why should he cultivate the secret art of paper figures again.
At the beginning, Su An had practiced the secret art of paper figures for nearly twenty years, and he could only defeat one or two hundred people, but let alone facing a martial arts master, he was a first-class master, Su An didn't dare to say that he would definitely be able to get out safely, you must know that martial arts masters are also rare in the rivers and lakes.
Even if they are genius disciples of those great sects, they may not be able to touch the level of martial arts masters after decades of cultivation.
Even if he started cultivating now, it was a question of whether he would be able to reach the second-rate level of sixty years of skill by the time he died.
Thinking of this, Su Hao subconsciously looked at the enlightenment system, if he could find a way to obtain the enlightenment point, he might not be able to reach the level of a martial arts master within twenty years.
As for giving up the cultivation of the secret art of paper figures, Su Hao didn't think about it, after two years, he had seen a lot of the lives of those poor people in Wei County, so let him give up his current rich life and live the kind of life that was difficult to eat, he would rather have a short life!
The reason why the ancestors of the Su family would rather have a short life and let the secret art of paper figures be passed on is that they don't want to live the kind of life with their faces facing the loess and their backs to the sky, and it is difficult to continue with three meals.
What's more, the next Ming Dynasty, natural disasters and man-made disasters continue, displaced people are everywhere, there is no power to protect themselves, and then life is worse than death, maybe one day it will be cooked, you must know that the tragic cannibalism recorded in the history books is not made up!
"Master Su, this is the place where the first Orion disappeared."
After walking for nearly half an hour, Ding Xian suddenly stopped, pointed to the notch on a big tree and said: "These hunters go into the mountain together, and after they separate, they will leave marks on the places they pass by, just in case, this mark is left by that hunter, but the mark is gone here, so that hunter should be missing here." ”
After a pause, Ding Xian continued: "It's just that we and the hunters in the village searched the surrounding ten miles of mountains and forests, but we didn't find any traces. ”
"Leave it to me next."
Su Hao said to Fu Bo in his sleeve: "Fu Bo, please search the neighborhood." ”
Although Fu Bo is a ghost, he should be afraid of the sun, but after following the Su family for so many years, he has already become a ghost cultivator, and with the cover of paper people, appearing in the sun in a short period of time does not have much impact.
"Okay, young master!"
Hearing this, Fu Bo got out of Su Hao's sleeve, turned into the size of an ordinary person, and then floated away and disappeared into the depths of the mountains and forests.
In less than half an hour, everyone watched Fubo float out from the depths of the mountain forest.
Su Hao asked, "Fu Bo, how is the situation?" ”
"Young master, I have searched all the places within a radius of several miles, and I have not found any grievances."
Fauber's face was expressionless: "The missing hunter should not be dead, otherwise the unjustly killed person will be angry, even if someone kills the unjust soul, this resentment will not dissipate in a few years." ”
"Not dead?"
Hearing Fu Bo's words, Ding Xian's face suddenly showed joy, there are a lot of missing people this time, if he can find them alive, it will also be a great achievement, maybe he can also take this opportunity to plan for the position of the master.
Although the Ming Dynasty forbade Xu officials to be officials, the county lord Bo and Dianshi, such as the nine grades and the petty officials who did not enter the stream, were not looked down upon by most of the people, and they were basically selected from the officials.
However, those old men don't look down on them, they are still very red-eyed, and no matter how capable a head catcher is, he is just an official.
If the county magistrate is unhappy with him, he may get out of the way at any time, and the big squires in the county also look down on him as a headhunter, but if he can be promoted to the lord, he can really be regarded as the number one person in Wei County.
