Chapter 8: The Secret Art of the Five Elements (2)

Qin Zhongming said as he spoke, Zhang Yunxian exclaimed, after saying this, the two chatted about some other things, and before they knew it, it was already dark, and at this time, the dark sky was full of stars, and the four fields were silent, only one or two insect chirps came low.

Due to the exhaustion of the long journey, Zhang Yunxian couldn't help but feel sleepy, yawned, and said, "Uncle Qin, I'm a little sleepy, so when will you teach me the Vajra Force Exercises?"

Qin Zhongming said: 'Tomorrow'

Zhang Yunxian asked: ''Then what should we do next?''

Qin Zhongming said: "Wait for your other two uncles"

Zhang Yunxian asked, 'When are they coming?'

Qin Zhongming said: "Tomorrow"

Zhang Yunxian asked: "Will they really come?"

Qin Zhongming nodded: "Of course"

Zhang Yunxian said: 'Oh, Uncle Qin, I'm so sleepy, then I'll sleep first'

Qin Zhongming said: 'Well, let's sleep'

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Yunxian unconsciously fell asleep.

Qin Zhongming didn't bother him, lying beside him, his head resting on his hands, looking at the night sky, feeling a sense of relief in his heart.

Because now Yun Xian has found it, and the stone in his heart has been put down, according to the agreement, the senior brother and the fifth junior brother will come soon.

After a long time, Qin Zhongming closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Stone fish: A fish that grows in the rivers near Lushan, about the size of a palm when it is an adult.

The next day, early in the morning, on a mountain road at the foot of Mount Lu. There were ten disciples of the Blue Magpie Temple in black robes walking slowly on the mountain road. They were ordered by the Onikawa Division to search for the disciples of Ming Zhenxuan who had escaped thirteen years ago, and they chatted quietly as they walked.

"Hey, I heard that the disciples of Ming Zhenxuan who escaped from Si Ming thirteen years ago are amazing, I heard that there is a female disciple whose body can release cold qi and freeze people, and there is a male disciple whose body can be angry and burn people to ashes, it's really terrible to think about."

"You shouldn't be talking about the two apprentices of Ming Zhenxuan's water and fire, right?"

"yes, you know them?"

"Of course I know, I heard that thirteen years ago, Onikawa Tsumeira was bitten by their two big snakes"

"Yes."

"It's true, I heard that one of these two people ran away later, and the other was killed by Si Ming, as if the man was killed by Si Ming"

"Yes, it seems that we are still very powerful."

"I can't see it, I think it's still the thunder technique of the Ziwei Mountain Star Worship Palace."

"Go, go, you know. Our Si Ming is good at magic, at least at the level of the Taiyin body, what will they do?"

"Haven't you heard of the thunder technique of Ziwei Mountain Star Worship Palace?, they are also very powerful, I heard that they can seal thunder and lightning into their bodies and use thunder and lightning to kill people"

"You are talking nonsense, how is it possible, that thunder and lightning is a thing in the sky, the power is huge, if he can touch it, he would have been hacked to death, and he won't say anything nice,"

'Alas, that's what I heard too'

"Hey, hey, have you heard of the Yi Pavilion of Heming Mountain?, I heard that there is a group of people there who are also very powerful, and they can also do magic, but it is not the same as the magic of our Blue Magpie Temple. They also take the Dan, the Yin Pill we take is black, and the Dan they take is white."

While everyone was talking, they saw a young man walking in front of them, the young man, handsome, dressed in white, walking steadily, and having a chic bearing.

The leading Lan Queguan disciple waved his hand and said, "Quiet, someone is coming."

Immediately the crowd fell silent.

When the young man approached, the leading Lan Queguan disciple stretched out his hand to stop the young man and asked, "Hey, what are you doing and where are you going?"

A smile appeared at the corner of the young man's mouth, and suddenly a left punch, a right punch towards them, the young man punched very fast, the surface of the fist exuded a pale green gas, every punch hit their vital point, and when they reacted, they found that their bodies could not move no matter what, even if they made a simple movement, they became very slow, and they didn't know what magic they had hit.

After the young man finished beating the last black-robed man, he jumped out of the black-robed crowd, he put his hands behind his back, turned his head, looked at the slow-moving black-robed man behind him, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and then, turned around, and continued to walk towards the Splendid Valley in front.

At noon, the sun was scorching.

Zhang Yunxian was playing with the river on the bank of the river, and Qin Zhongming stood aside and sorted out his clothes.

They all slept comfortably last night.

A stone fish swam over in the clear river water, and Zhang Yunxian picked up a small stone on the bank of the river and threw it at the stone fish.

With a pop, the water splashed, and the stone flew into the river, but it didn't hit the stone fish, only to see the stone fish startled, and quickly swung its tail and swam away.

Zhang Yunxian yawned and asked, "Uncle Qin, when will you teach me the Vajra Force Exercises?"

Qin Zhongming said: "In the afternoon, however, we have to go to Ming Zhenxuan to get something"

Zhang Yunxian asked, "What do you take?"

Qin Zhongming said: "Dan furnace"

Zhang Yunxian asked, 'What do you do with it?'

Qin Zhongming said: 'Alchemy'

Zhang Yunxian didn't ask in detail, nodded and said, 'Oh'

In the afternoon, the two of them came to Ming Zhenxuan.

Entering the Xuan Tower, Qin Zhongming walked directly towards the five Dan furnaces that had fallen to the ground.

He lifted one of the Dan furnaces and fell heavily to the ground, "bang", shaking off the patina on the surface of the Dan furnace.

Zhang Yunxian stood aside and looked at him honestly.

Qin Zhongming gently peeled off the patina inside the Dan furnace with his hands, and saw that the inside of this Dan furnace was intact, and his heart was filled with joy.

He clearly remembered that this Dan furnace was the Dan furnace he had used to refine Dan, because this Qin character was written for him by the second senior brother using the Fire Walking Body Exercise.

Zhang Yunxian looked at it for a while, feeling bored, so he walked around the building and looked around, because after all, this was the place where his father and mother used to live, and looking at the things in the building, his heart was filled with a trace of inexplicable kindness.

At this time, he saw a few broken bottles and cans in the corner on the left, walked up to the pile of bottles and cans, squatted down, and rummaged through these bottles and cans with great interest.

Qin Zhongming was a little confused by his move, and asked, "Yun Xian, what are you doing?"

Zhang Yunxian said: "I'll see if you have any treasures in Ming Zhenxuan"

Qin Zhongming shook his head helplessly.

After a while, Zhang Yunxian found a small wooden box pressed under one of the dilapidated stone jars, and reached out to take out the wooden box. I saw that this wooden box was about three inches in size, and the surface was covered with dust. Zhang Yunxian patted the dust on it, opened the lid of the box, and saw that the box contained a delicate jade pendant and a neatly folded cloth.

Unfold the cloth, and there are some circles and dots painted on the cloth, similar to the pattern of the stars.

Zhang Yunxian didn't know what he meant, and asked, "Uncle Qin, what is this?" said and handed the cloth to Qin Zhongming.

Qin Zhongming took the cloth and looked at the pattern on the cloth, his face full of surprise. Because he remembered that the master was based on the pattern on the cloth to teach them the Five Elements Exercises, this picture is also called the river map, which records the law of the operation of the qi of heaven and earth, the mystery is endless, but after the master retreat, this picture has been missing, and when he sees it today, it is beyond his expectations.

''This is the relic of the ancestor, where did you find it?'' Qin Zhongming asked.

"And this," Zhang Yunxian handed the jade pendant in the box to Qin Zhongming.

Qin Zhongming took the jade pendant, looked at it carefully, and said, "This jade pendant was also worn by the ancestor when he was alive."

Zhang Yunxian said, "Oh, Uncle Qin, what is painted on this cloth?"

Qin Zhongming said: "This picture is called the river map, and it records the mystery of the five elements", and handed the jade pendant in his hand to Zhang Yunxian, "This jade pendant was given to you?"

'Really?' Zhang Yunxian was very happy.

Qin Zhongming nodded.

"Thank you, Uncle Qin!" Zhang Yunxian took the jade pendant, his heart was happy, and he casually hung the jade pendant on the belt around his waist, and loved it very much.

After looking at the river map for a while, Qin Zhongming put the river map into his arms, picked up the Dan furnace on the ground, and said, "Let's go, Yunxian"

"Hmm"

Zhang Yunxian walked out of the Xuanlou with him, and when he came to the outside of the building, he saw a young man appear in front of the Xuanlou at some point, the young man was dressed in white, smiling, and looking at this place motionlessly.

Zhang Yunxian was slightly puzzled.

Qin Zhongming looked at the young man with a blank expression, because he was too forgetful, the Dan furnace in his hand fell to the ground with a "bell".

Qin Zhongming immediately walked quickly towards the young man and shouted excitedly, "Xiuyang"

The young man was excited, quickly walked over, and shouted, "Fourth brother"

The two looked at each other, then hugged each other tightly.

Only then did Zhang Yunxian realize that this young man was He Xiuyang, a disciple of Ming Zhenxuan.

Since they hadn't seen each other for thirteen years, the two of them were quite excited, and Qin Zhongming asked, "Xiuyang, are you okay?"

He Xiuyang nodded and asked, "Fourth brother, what about you?"

"I'm fine"

Qin Zhongming turned his head to Zhang Yunxian and said, "Yunxian, come on, I've seen your Uncle He."

Zhang Yunxian walked slowly in front of He Xiuyang and shouted: "Uncle He"

He Xiuyang was surprised and asked, "Fourth brother, what did you say, you said he was Yun Xian?"

Qin Zhongming said: "Yes, Xiuyang, he is Yunxian"

He Xiuyang slowly squatted down in front of Zhang Yunxian, looked at Zhang Yunxian's little face, his gaze became extremely gentle, and he said, "I didn't expect you to grow so big."

Zhang Yunxian didn't know what to say, and smiled reluctantly.

Because in He Xiuyang's memory, Zhang Yunxian was still the appearance of the infant baby fifteen years ago, and he couldn't recognize his current appearance.

He Xiuyang asked, "Fourth brother, how did you find Yun Xian?"

Qin Zhongming cautiously glanced around, and said: "Xiuyang, this place is not suitable for a long time, let's go down the mountain and then let's go."

As he spoke, he picked up the Dan furnace on the ground, and led Zhang Yunxian and He Xiuyang to the bottom of the mountain, and occasionally he looked behind him from time to time.
