Chapter 136: Cold in Water
This Pan Lao Dao is the master of Taoism, commonly known as Pan Miaoran, the Taoist number climber, and is the uncle of Hu Jiuyi and He Lu.
This "Bao Pu Gong" is the supreme martial arts of Taoism, and Confucianism's "Like the Long Night" and Buddhism's "Great Nirvana Sutra" are equally famous, and are known as the three great martial arts.
"Hug Pu Gong" pays attention to the essence of seeing the simplicity and simplicity, and can reach the realm of returning to the basics. Its general outline is to turn the complex into the simplest, and then the simple to the complex. The so-called simplicity is to cover all the martial arts in the world in the nine characters, and the so-called complexity is that each character has nine realms, each realm has nine moves, and each move has nine variations. In this way, although "Bao Pu Gong" only has nine characters, it has 6,561 changes. If you are not a person with great understanding, great perseverance, and great creation, you must not practice this skill without permission, otherwise you will inevitably go mad and fall into a place of no return.
There are nine characters in the exercises of "Hug Pu Gong", which are divided into: Yuan, Jin, Teng, Defend, Attack, Array, Ke, Heal, and Hua - combined into "Hug Pu Nine Divisions".
The Yuan Department is the art of cultivating the inside. It can accumulate the qi of the dantian and increase the internal force. The Yuan Department is the foundation and source of "Bao Pu Gong". If the other eight departments want to improve, they can only take the Yuan department to the next level.
The strength is the art of refining the body. It can forge muscles and bones, and is invulnerable. Taoism has always been heavy on the inside and light on the outside, so few people practice this part to the ninth level.
Tengbu is the art of lightening the body. Can climb Ping and cross the water, come and go like the wind. It is said that after practicing to the ninth level, you can still go to the sky and the earth, and soar through the clouds and fog. So far, no one has ever practiced it.
Defending is the art of defense. After the ninth level, it can resist thousands of moves.
The attack is the art of attacking. This department has a total of nine kinds of martial arts, such as fists, palms and legs, swords, swords, whips and sticks, and since ancient times, three or four have been the limit.
The formation is the art of breaking the formation. After the ninth level, it can crack the world's ten thousand arrays.
Kebe is the art of breaking the enemy. After the ninth level, it can crack the world's martial arts.
Healing is the art of healing. This part also has the art of alchemy, and later the Taoist generations taught the heavy martial arts and light pills, so that the effectiveness of this technique was greatly damaged.
The transformation department is the art of fusion. It can integrate the world's martial arts and turn them into their own use. It is said that Ge Hong and Tao Hongjing have practiced to the ninth level.
This "Bao Pu Gong" is the martial arts of Ge Hongge Tianshi in the Jin Dynasty, which is indeed all-encompassing and coherent from ancient to modern. Although this skill is strong, it is too complicated and very difficult to practice. Even Ge Tianshi, who founded this skill, is far from practicing these nine characters. Today's head teacher Pan Miaoran has only just completed the Yuan Department. As for the green dragon, now only the Yuan Department and the Attack Department have practiced to the seventh level.
The reason why Qinglong was able to train the offensive department to the seventh level was due to his sole practice of swordsmanship and his distractions, so that his swordsmanship improved by leaps and bounds, and he was a thousand miles a day.
He Yan looked at Qinglong, who was superb in swordsmanship, and a complicated color flashed in his eyes. He is a rare martial arts prodigy, he was favored by Pan Miaoran when he was a teenager and wanted to be accepted as a successor, but he was trapped by love and decadent for ten years. Now that he is dying, he is not as old as Qinglong in his prime. He Luo is also very pleased, Qinglong is also his favored junior, bold and resolute, and he is the best among people. When Qinglong resolutely rebelled out of Maoshan Mountain, and now he has returned to Maoshan calmly, this mind and calmness can afford the words "Successor of the Teaching".
Qinglong has practiced the swordsmanship in "Bao Pu Gong", which is unfathomable. The white tiger is inferior in sword skills, and it is also inferior to the enemy, so as soon as it fights, it is difficult to match.
Chen Xuan pressed his shock slightly, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that the descendants of the three sects of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism all deigned to come to the old man's little Chen Jiabao, it is an honor, an honor!" As he spoke, another golden light separated the green dragon and white tiger.
Seeing this, the green dragon and the red bird were all cold, and even the white tiger was very dissatisfied. The white tiger was forced by the green dragon to scatter his sword skills because of his carelessness, and he was about to use the Manichaean mastery of the "Two Patriarchal Methods" to win back a city, but he didn't want Chen Xuan to suddenly intervene.
Chen Xuan smiled and said: "No matter what grievances you have, if it's late today, all the heroes have a meal and rest, don't forget the business of tomorrow's demon eradication conference." ”
As soon as Chen Xuan's words came out, he was determined to kill Wei Qimu. Zu Liang wanted to come forward to fight, but was stopped by Fang 13. When everyone saw Chen Xuan's words, they all put aside their grievances for the time being, and only waited for tomorrow to see Wei Qimu before making plans.
Early in the morning of the second day, Li Huan, the second son of Chenjiabao, got married in a mess and rejoiced on the island.
On the sea off the island are a series of warships, high-sail clippers. All the boats are headed and tailed, and the tail is sticky, and they are lined up in a whole circle around Muliuyu. There is also a happy flag on each boat, with the words "The Wedding of the Second Prince of Chenjiabao" written on it. The happy flag is spread in the wind, like a piece of falling red clouds.
In the castle of the island are good horses, incense carts, and horses like dragons. The brocade stretches for miles, the flying carpet pours a thousand feet, the safflower pollen stamen flies all over the sky, and the rare birds and beasts walk everywhere. The lights are colorful, and the guests are full.
The auspicious time has arrived, and all the ships outside the island shoot an arrow, and the fireworks in the sky suddenly burst into a cloud of fire in the air. The fort is even more remarkable, there are Luan phoenix and Ming, cranes dancing together, and there are drums and drums, singing and dancing endlessly.
Chen Jiabao's second son's wedding is so magnificent, it does not lose to the royal nobles, and it does not allow the generals to be in the family, and it is not comparable to the recklessness of the rivers and lakes. When the heroes saw such a scene, they were all full of emotion.
At this time, Li Huanchao finally showed up. I saw him wearing a wedding dress and riding a white horse, coming slowly. Li is also handsome and extraordinary, and his gaze is a fragrant car with gold bones and jade frames and silver beads. In the incense car, it is naturally the bride Zhang Fengchen.
Zhang Fengchen wore a phoenix crown, a xia veil, and was graceful, holding a fan to cover his face, and was helped out of the car by a maid. This maid is none other than a quiver.
Since Zhang Fengchen escaped from marriage, the Chen family has not been embarrassed, but Li still loves the house and Wu indiscriminately, and accepts them as personal maids. After Zhang Fengchen returned, he was still served by the quiver.
Zhang Fengchen's red dress was extremely long, hanging several feet from the ground, and was carefully held by four maids in the back. Seeing the bride get out of the car, Li Huanchao did not chant a "hypnotic poem" this time, but chanted a "fan poem":
Don't fan out the painting to cover up the stagnation of spring mountains.
If the reunion is a bright moon, osmanthus must be bloomed.
Li still groaned, and the quiver pulled Zhang Fengchen's sleeve and motioned for her to put the fan down. Zhang Fengchen came to his senses, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Alas, are you married like this, you haven't spoken to the monk yet!"
When Zhang Fengchen got married, he was still thinking about Shang Junchang, the Confucian general of the grass army who was known as "Sai Zhoulang".
......
Chen Huanying did not come to see his second brother's wedding, but went to the Soul Suppression Ice Cave again.
Wei Qimu in the ice cave is already half of the dead, maybe he will suddenly lose his breath at a moment. Chen Huanying was naturally afraid that Wei Qimu would really freeze to death, and Chen Jiabao's wishful thinking would be half empty.
Chen Huanying looked at Wei Qimu, who was curled up like a shrimp, and couldn't help laughing: "That girl was unhappy at first, and she almost tied up to worship heaven and earth, but I didn't expect that when I mentioned you, she was obedient." ”
Chen Huanying didn't expect Wei Qimu to speak, and said to himself: "I really didn't expect that my second brother is still a lover, and he is not usually close to women, but this time he moved his true feelings for this girl." It's okay, let him indulge in women's sex, how can he compete with me for the head of the family?"
Wei Qimu couldn't speak, but he heard it clearly, and said sadly in his heart: "I ...... caused her to be affected."
Wei Qimu sighed that Zhang Fengchen, who was so bold and happy, actually ended up involuntarily. He thought of Luo Xia again, who was also a strange woman, and in the end she was still committed to others, and she couldn't help herself. Wei Qimu seemed to understand what Luo Xia said to him at the beginning: Wei Qimu, you must know that even if it is water, it is involuntarily.
Although Wei Qimu was unwilling, he was helpless. The body is no longer conscious, the mind is also unconscious, and twenty years have passed in my heart. The loneliness gradually dissipated, and the regret was gone, leaving only a cavity of loneliness and anger, frozen there with cold blood.
If there is an afterlife, can you still be willing to set foot in the rivers and lakes? If there is a rebirth, but you still have to wander the world? The last scene in Wei Qimu's mind is a spring blossom that does not violate the mountain, there is a master, there is a yellow dog, there is no worry, there is no bitterness, and there is a vague face.
Seeing this, Chen Huanying couldn't help but be taken aback, he didn't expect the famous "Knife Slaughter" to be so cold, and hurriedly lost a piece of true bearing and Wei Qimu. But Wei Qimu's heart has stopped, what is the use of true qi?
At this moment, an old voice crashed into Wei Qimu's heart: "Ice, water is for it, and cold is for water." This sentence exploded in Wei Qimu's unconscious mind like a spring thunder on the ground, and pulled him back from the Yama Palace.
Wei Qimu's mind turned, and with Chen Huanying's true qi, he finally survived again. The phrase "ice, water for it, and cold for water" repeatedly sounded in his head, and his heart suddenly opened up.
These words are Xun Qing's words. Although Xun Qing is a pre-Qin Confucian master, he also has the spirit of Taoism, so there is also Taoism in these words. Although ice is also water, it is different from water, and although ice is also a change of water, it is different from rain and snow: ice is the coldest to water. This cold is different from the cold of yin qi, it is the purest and coldest power between heaven and earth, and there is no evil and gloomy aura. Therefore, ice is a very wonderful existence in "Ruoshui Dao".
Although Wei Qimu initially realized that rain, snow, and hail are all changes in water, he never realized the deep meaning of "cold in water". After this sentence crashed into his heart, Wei Qimu had an epiphany: The eighth realm of "Ruoshui Dao" is water and not water, it is ice. This realm is the realm of water for ice.
Wei Qimu realized the truth, and the eighth shackle of "Ruo Shuidao" suddenly opened, and the internal force that had not fluctuated was like a long drought and a rain, rippling slightly in the dantian for a long time. As the internal forces rose and fell, Wei Qimu's dantian was like a bottomless whirlpool, and began to frantically absorb the cold qi around him.
The ice stains on Wei Qimu's body began to melt rapidly, but after the ice stains melted, they did not flow to the ground, but soaked into Wei Qimu's body bit by bit, transformed into a trickle of internal force, and then combed through the miscellaneous master's "Nine Turning Pulses" and integrated into the dantian. With the influx of this icy internal force, Wei Qimu only felt that the internal force of the dantian seemed to be alive, and gradually turned into a long river that flowed endlessly.
After the ice stains on Wei Qimu's body were melted, the dantian was still not satisfied, and was still frantically absorbing. As a result, the Soul Suppression Ice Cave began to melt little by little. Ice water fell little by little, all gathering under Wei Qimu's body. After the cold qi outside the body soaked into the body, it sank into the dantian and disappeared without a trace in the long river of internal force. Gradually, the cold air in the dantian accumulated more and more, first forming a thin layer of ice on the surface of the river, and finally freezing the entire long river.
Wei Qimu first felt that the cold qi slowly froze the internal force in the dantian, forming a block of ice stains. Then this icy cold qi went to the limbs and hundreds of remains, burrowed into the meridians, and froze them. Everywhere the cold breath goes, it urges everything. The meridians have been washed by this, and they have changed, and they are no longer ordinary meridians, but have become ice meridians. When this icy cold qi reached the damaged meridians, it was impatient and unreasonable, and it was abolished in one fell swoop, and an ice meridian was reformed. Not only that, but the two iron chains in the pipa bone were also destroyed and turned into a handful of ice powder.
Wei Qimu was connected at this time, and his internal force finally broke through the shackles. The glacier in the dantian suddenly collapsed, turning into pieces of ice stains and floating on the long river, merging with it, unsinkable and freezing.
At this time, Wei Qimu roared in his mind, a cold light flashed, and four words appeared in his heart: Eight Water Ice Cubes.
Eight water ice cubes are the eighth realm of "Ruoshui Dao".
Wei Qimu also gradually came to his senses, and began to think back to his voice. That person was by no means Dachengzi, nor was he Jian Jiangyue. He had never heard this voice before, but he could feel that the power contained in it was by no means an idle person. Wei Qimu couldn't help but secretly wonder: "Could it be one of the three major sects?" or ...... Guiguzi?"
This is not only extremely accurate, but also just right. If it was one minute late, Wei Qimu would have completely frozen to death, and if it was one minute earlier, even if Wei Qimu understood the meaning, he would not be able to turn this enlightenment into a breakthrough in martial arts. Only with the help of these thousands of years of cold air, and at the time of life and death, can this succeed in one fell swoop. Otherwise, Wei Qimu will be broken by humanity, and he will not be able to practice to the eighth level in the future no matter what. This is also the reason why Taoist martial arts only value their own understanding and chance, and cannot be ordered by others. This kind of opportunity to raise points is extremely difficult to control, not only fleeting, but also depends on the three-point destiny. Wei Qimu can be regarded as a deep blessing, and his cultivation is not shallow.
The cold air in the ice cave was inhaled into Wei Qimu's body, and the ice wall was overwhelmed, and suddenly melted into a pool of ice water. It's just that this ice water is still warm in the hand, and it doesn't have the cold air of the past.
Chen Huanying was still worried that Wei Qimu would freeze to death at first, and when he saw the ice stains on Wei Qimu's body melting, he thought that his true qi had played a role, but now he saw the Chen family's soul-suppressing ice cave suddenly melt into residual water, where did he still not understand? Chen Huanying noticed the changes in Wei Qimu and guessed that his martial arts were about to break through, so he was shocked and angry, and he was about to slap Wei Qimu to death with a palm in his hand.
However, it was too late to stop Wei Qimu at this moment.
