On the outskirts of Yangzhou, in a small courtyard, a simple wooden house stands, and it is difficult for anyone to see that this wooden house is actually the residence of Shi Long, the first master of Yangzhou.

Shi Long was sitting in the room at this time, there were dozens of bamboo slips on a few cases in front of him, and a book woven with black gold thread, he sometimes looked at the books, sometimes flipped through the bamboo slips, his brows were furrowed, and his face was very confused.

He has been living with this book for more than two years, but he still has nothing, just like a treasure in front of him, but he has no key to open the door.

was thinking fascinated, suddenly a gust of wind blew, Shi Long didn't feel it, and then reacted suddenly, he closed all the doors and windows, where did the wind come from?

Shi Long was startled, looked up at the door, and saw that the door had been opened at some point, and a figure stood there with his hands in his hands, and his moon-blue clothes were blown by the wind.

Seeing that figure, Shi Long's pupils shrank, and he immediately waved his robe sleeves and swept towards the bamboo slips on several cases, and at the same time, he had a cuff to put the golden silk scroll in.

The man who came was extremely martial arts, the strongest person he had ever seen in the world, and he fought hard, and there was no chance of victory, but he managed to escape, fortunately, he had already expected such a day, so when he built this house, he deliberately left a trapdoor in the back wall.

The bamboo slips on several cases flew up, and they should have disintegrated under the violent true qi, and each bamboo piece turned into a sharp hidden weapon, but the person who came only pressed forward with his empty hand, as if time and space were frozen, and all the bamboo slips were frozen, wrapping Shi Long himself, his right hand poked out, and the cuffs were half of the golden silk scroll.

"Although bamboo slips are valuable, the knowledge in them is priceless. Wouldn't it be a pity if dozens of classics were ruined like this? You people never know the value of knowledge, and perhaps it is because it is easy for you to obtain! ”

The person who came sighed, and in Shi Long's puzzled gaze, he took down the scrolls of bamboo slips, carefully sorted them out, and put them back on top of several cases.

After doing this, the person who came took out the gold silk book in Shi Long's right sleeve, read it carefully, and casually unlocked the acupoints on Shi Long's body.

The acupoint was unlocked, and Shi Long's heart was shocked by the horror of people's martial arts, although he had seen it before, but this time he felt it personally, and he was still surprised, but he was afraid that the three great masters, the four holy monks, and the evil king and the queen of yin were not the opponents of this person......

Although he was surprised by the high level of martial arts of the person who came, Shi Long was not afraid at all and asked, "Your Excellency is here to seize the secret of immortality?" With your strength, do you want this elixir? ”

Xu Qian glanced at him and said with a smile: "You people, do you think that you must practice to read the secret books of divine skills?" Can't we learn the truth and watch the wisdom of our predecessors? ”

"Rest assured, I'm interested in the elixir of life, but not in taking it away. As compensation for reading the book, I can tell you some clues about the elixir of longevity! ”

These words aroused Shi Long's interest, and he asked curiously: "What clue?" "He has studied the longevity formula for more than two years, but he hasn't found any clues, this person actually knows?

The book of longevity comes from the ancient Yellow Emperor's teacher Guangchengzi, written in oracle bone inscription, esoteric and difficult to understand, the sages have read this book, although there is no lack of wisdom through the heavens, but 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, and the book is densely covered with annotations from those who have read the book, but they are often more confusing than the original text.

There are seven humanoid figures in the book, none of which are oriented towards each other, and are guided by various symbols such as red dots, arrows, etc., as if they are describing a certain method of cultivation, but those who do not understand its meaning can not practice.

Xu Qian replied while flipping through the longevity formula: "The first clue, the reason why you can't successfully practice the longevity recipe is because you already have internal strength in your body. ”

Shi Long was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and frowned: "Your Excellency means that you need to practice the Immortal Secret to know martial arts and have no internal strength?" ”

"Not necessarily, for example, people like me can do martial arts and have internal strength, and if they want to practice, they may not have a way, but they ...... Let's practice honestly. ”

This man is crazy, isn't he?

Shi Long sighed in his heart, but when he thought of this person's amazing martial arts, he felt that this person did have crazy capital.

Xu Qian said again: "The second clue, these seven pictures are all correct, but because everyone's physique is different, basically you can only choose one picture to practice. Guang Chengzi left these seven pictures, probably taking into account the differences in physique between different people. ”

"I guess that each picture is directly aimed at the Broken Void, that is, each picture is a Broken Level Mental Method, but I don't think this is the limit of the Immortal Formula, its limit should be that when the cultivation reaches a certain level, the seven pictures are cultivated together, and finally the seven pictures are combined to reach a higher level of the Broken Realm."

Shi Long was stunned when he heard it, although he heard Xu Qian's words say "speculation", he felt that this guess was really a little possible.

Guang Chengzi wrote the recipe for longevity, leaving a broken method for the world, and each type of person can find a suitable one among the seven pictures, as long as they cultivate to the limit, they can shatter the void.

However, cultivating a single picture is only to cultivate a certain type of characteristic of the human body to the extreme, and it is not comprehensive, and only when the other six initiates and seven pictures are combined into one, it is the most comprehensive and complete.

First of all, "different people, according to their aptitude to teach", and then "different paths to the same end, all laws are one", which is in line with the Taoist principle.

Ignoring Shi Long, who was not thinking, Xu Qian said again: "The third clue, the annotations left by the predecessors and sages on these seven pictures are basically correct, and some of the annotations seem to be conflicting, but in fact they are just two sides of the same thing. ”

Speaking of which, the annotations left by the sages who read the recipe for longevity are also a very precious treasure, and when they read the recipe, they left such annotations based on their own knowledge, wisdom, and thoughts, which contain the wisdom of their thoughts.

It's just a pity that for so many years, those who have obtained the Immortal Recipe have rarely paid attention to these annotations, they care too much about the oracle bone inscriptions and the seven diagrams of the Immortal Formula, and they have worked hard to get nothing in the end, if someone can delve into some of these annotations, maybe they will gain something.

Shi Long said: "Since they are basically right, then why didn't those predecessors and sages practice the recipe for longevity?" ”

As soon as the words came out, Shi Long reacted, he was too stupid to ask this question.

Didn't this person just say that practicing the secret of longevity requires no martial arts and no internal strength?

Those predecessors and sages should have been famous for a long time when they obtained the longevity formula, and their skills were already shocking to the world, how could they have lost years of power in order to practice the longevity formula?

What's more, those predecessors and sages are only afraid that they are also full of spirit, thinking that they are extremely talented, and even if they don't practice the secret of longevity, they can reach a higher realm with their own talents.

What Guang Chengzi can do, can't I do?

Xu Qian had finished reading the longevity recipe and put it back in a few cases, what he needed was the content of the longevity recipe, not this book woven of Xuanjin thread, and seeing Xu Qian put down the longevity recipe, Shi Long felt a lot more relieved, and said secretly: "It seems that this person will not kill him to take the book!" ’

Putting down the book, Xu Qian said: "Of my three clues, only the content of an elixir is not enough. ”

Hearing this, Shi Long's heart tightened, and he said in a deep voice: "Then according to Your Excellency's intentions......?" ”

Xu Qian said: "Don't be nervous, I won't harm your life, just look at your collection of books." ”

In order to comprehend the secret of longevity, Shilong collected many books, most of which were Taoist classics, and some classics were not even collected by the Sui room.

Hearing that Xu Qian just wanted to see his collection of books, Shi Long readily agreed, this person had told him all the important clues about the longevity formula, which were much more valuable than his collection, and those were clues that countless people had wanted to pursue for thousands of years!

Shi Long thought for a moment, nodded and said: "What Your Excellency said is very true, if you can enter your eyes, all the books in Shi's collection will be available for you to see." Speaking of which, it was Shi who took advantage! ”

Xu Qian shook his head and said: "Whether it is cheap or not depends not on how much each party has, but whether both parties think it is worth it." If it's not worth it, it's a thousand gold exchanges, and you won't feel that you take advantage of it, and if it's a worthwhile thing, even if you can't do anything, you will be happy. ”
