At this dangerous juncture, there was a sudden crisp sound of copper bells, clanging high and low, although the two sides were fighting, they could hear it clearly. Baihu looked at the sound and saw an old Taoist wearing a Taoist robe, with a beard on his face, and a red lacquered gourd hanging around his waist, he was riding a big green ox, and the green ox had a copper bell hanging around its neck, and the copper bell came from where. I saw the old Taoist driving the oxen slowly, and the copper bell would sway from side to side with every further step, and he looked ahead with great energy, but he turned a blind eye to the vicious fight at hand. Seeing this, Baihu thought: "Where did the old Taoist come from, did you come to send him to death?" I was going to stop the old Taoist, but I thought about it: "If you want to find death, it is to fulfill you." ”

The old Taoist slowly walked into the battle circle, the so-called bow and arrow had no eyes, and saw a sharp arrow galloping towards the old Taoist with the sound of the cold wind, and the old Taoist just leaned slightly, and then dodged the sharp arrow that was shot. The more the old Taoist goes, the more bows and arrows there are. But the strange thing is that all the sharp arrows seem to have eyes, and they are quite afraid of the old Taoist, and they have slashed past the old Taoist, but none of them hit. Baihu felt strange when he saw the old Taoist walking straight through the rain of arrows, as if he had entered a no-man's land, and all the bows and arrows were going around him. Immediately ordered the archers to stop shooting, and the White Lotus Holy Maiden finally breathed a sigh of relief, only to see Baihu shouting: "Where did the stinky Taoist come from, dare to hinder the officials from encircling and suppressing the chaotic party, and don't leave here quickly." ”

The old Taoist ignored it, and kept walking forward, his steps as unhurried as before. The two general banners behind Baihu saw that the old Taoist did not listen to the words of the boss, and stepped forward to stop them, trying to teach the old Taoist to please the boss. I didn't expect that although the big green cow's footsteps were slow, but the strength was infinite, I saw the big green cow whine, the horns on the head like a hook, left and right, knocked the two general flags to the ground, and then continued to walk forward. The old Taoist's offense made Baihu angry, and he thought: "No matter how high your bull's nose is, you can't think of fighting me with a dozen bows and arrows." I saw Baihu shouting, "Shoot me an arrow." ”

More than a dozen bows and arrows were shot at the same time, and the old Taoist was close at hand, and the sharp arrows were ready to be fired. Someone among the White Lotus Holy Maidens shouted, "Dao Master be careful. Before the words fell, the old man's wide sleeves were rolled up, and a strong wind spitted out, and all the bows and arrows that were shot at him immediately turned around, and the archers were shocked when they saw this, and they dodged one after another, because the distance was short, and they could not dodge, and they were killed by arrows. When Baihu saw this scene, he was stunned, thinking that the old Taoist was a god who knew the spells of the side door.

"What kind of immortal is the old Taoist?" asked Baihu quickly relieved himself.

The old Taoist touched his beard, his eyes narrowed into a slit, and he said slowly: "The old Taoist is not a fairy, just a passerby. This road is the road of everyone, and you occupy the road and fight, not to mention that they hinder my passage, and shoot me with arrows, which is really arrogant. ”

Baihu thought for a while: "The martial arts of this old way are unfathomable, so it's better to be careful." His face turned and he said: "The old Taoist said this is wrong, I am here to arrest the important criminals of the imperial court, but you obstruct it for no reason, and you also shoot the officers and soldiers of the imperial court, openly confront the imperial court, what is the reason for the old Taoist to say that I am arrogant?"

The old Taoist said: "Monks travel all over the world, unrestrained, and never ask about the affairs of the world. If you arrest your culprit, I will go my way, and if you don't hinder me from walking, how can I hinder you from arresting people. "The implication is that if you don't get in my way, how can I hurt you, all of this is your own fault.

The old Taoist's reply of a few sermons made hundreds of households unable to refute. I saw that Baihu's face was flushed, and he said impetuously: "A few words from the old Taoist are like pushing the matter of killing the court officials cleanly,"

The old Taoist smiled slightly and said: "The so-called justice is in the hearts of the people, whether the old Taoist is right or wrong, what you say doesn't count." ”

When Baihu heard this, he couldn't help but be angry, pushed Xu Brahma to his subordinates, asked them to guard it, and then said angrily: "You killed the court officials, and everyone also saw it with their own eyes, do you want to deny it." ”

The old Taoist continued to smile and said: "There is no cause and no effect, and my old Taoist is also out of cause and effect." ”

Baihu "hummed" and said: "For the sake of cause and effect, I want to push off the killing of the court officials, can you monks also reverse right and wrong." ”

The old Taoist said: "Naturally, monks do not reverse right and wrong, but only distinguish between good and evil. ”

Baihu said angrily: "Is it evil for the court to arrest and arrest the offender?"

The old Taoist said: "The court can be good or evil when it arrests the criminals, conforming to the way of heaven is good, and violating the way of heaven is evil." ”

The more everyone listened, the more outrageous they became, and they all thought that the old Taoist was using the Taoist method of discerning scriptures to make the hundred households dizzy, so that he could not extricate himself, just when the hundred households wanted to refute, an officer and soldier behind him suddenly shouted: "My lord, don't have to quarrel with him." This word woke up Baihu, and Baihu thought that he would discuss his rights and wrongs with Lao Dao, and he must have fallen into his demon magic, and then shouted: "Old thief Dao, you actually performed demon magic on Ben General, and you must be an accomplice of the White Lotus Demon Man." ”

The old Taoist said calmly: "This Dao is alone, how can he be an accomplice with others?"

Baihu didn't dare to argue with him anymore, for fear of being confused by his witchcraft again, so he said: "Ben will not want to be verbose with you, if you tie your hands and capture Ben, I will promise not to harm you, if you resist, you will not blame me for being polite." ”

The old Taoist said slowly: "If you arrest me, you will harm me, and you say that you want to be polite to me, isn't it a contradiction." ”

When Baihu heard the words, he couldn't distinguish it, and he couldn't make up his mind, and his mind immediately went into chaos, and he shouted, just like crazy. At this time, an officer and soldier shouted: "My lord, please calm down, and wait for the little one to take him down." After saying that, several people slashed at the old Taoist with knives, and the old Taoist flicked his cuffs as if nothing happened, and several officers and soldiers only felt a strong wind coming, and their bodies were actually stiff and unable to move.

Then another officer and soldier attacked, and they were also suppressed by the old Taoist's whisked cuffs, and the rest of the officers and soldiers thought that the old Taoist really knew the demon law, and they didn't dare to move forward again. At this time, Baihu woke up and saw his subordinates standing in front of the old Taoist, like statues, not moving, and he was stunned in his heart, thinking that he had really touched the immortals, and hurriedly ordered his officers and soldiers to retreat. At this time, the injured Second Saintess and the Fourth Saintess had already dealt with the arrow wounds, and all the White Lotus Saintesses regained their weapons and prepared to fight with the officers and soldiers again. Baihu didn't have archers, and his officers and soldiers were naturally not the opponents of the White Lotus Holy Maiden, and he lost most of the officers and soldiers in a few moments, he hurriedly turned over and got on his horse, wanting to grab Xu Brahma and take him away, but he didn't expect that when his right hand grabbed Xu Brahma's shoulder, Xu Brahma swept away Baihu's hand with his backhand. Baihu scolded: "If you don't go with me, there is no reason to live." Out of nowhere, he took out an iron awl and stabbed it towards Xu Brahma's Heavenly Spirit Cover. Xu Brahma's martial arts foundation was already poor, and he suddenly saw Baihu stabbing down with an iron awl, and he didn't know how to dodge for a while, but without thinking, he hit it with one palm and hit the iron awl. Xu Brahma only felt a sharp pain in his palm, and the iron awl pierced a hole in his palm, and Baihu dropped the iron awl and fled on horseback.

Xu Brahma saw that the hole in his palm was not oozing bright red blood, but black blood, and the wound did not want to be as painful as when he was first stabbed, but gradually became numb. Xu Brahma thought that the problem was not big, but he didn't care, but just after taking a few steps, he found that a black line suddenly appeared on his arm, and the black line kept flowing along the meridians of his arm to the top of his arm, and he was unconscious wherever the black line went. After a few moments, the black line had already reached his neck, climbed up his face, and then passed out in front of his eyes. When he woke up, he found that he was leaning against a big tree, the Three Holy Maidens were feeding him water, and a Taoist was pinching the Zhongchong acupoint on the fingertips of his left hand, and this Taoist was the old Taoist who rode a green ox.

"What's wrong with me?" said Xu Brahma weakly, as if his voice was only swirling in his throat.

The Three Holy Maidens said: "You are poisoned, fortunately, this Taoist master has helped, otherwise you would have returned to the West at this time." ”

Xu Brahma immediately shifted his gaze to the Taoist and muttered in a low voice, "Thank you, Daoist••••••"

The old Taoist touched his beard and said, "The three acupuncture points in your hand and yin pericardial meridian acupoints, such as Neiguan, Quze, and Tianquan, have been opened, but the poison on your body still cannot be completely removed. For example, the two acupuncture points in your Tianchi and Milk will collide because the residual poison has not disappeared, and Taiyi and Daheng will also collide. The acupuncture points on the Zu Shao Yin and Kidney meridians and the Zu Shao Yang and gallbladder meridians will also be entangled. ”

The White Lotus Holy Maidens naturally didn't understand the reasoning, and the Four Holy Maidens were anxious, so they asked: "Dao Master, you can put it simply, whether this little brother has been saved or not." ”

The old Taoist said unhurriedly: "It's not saved to save it, but you can't die if you die." ”

The Four Holy Maidens then said, "Isn't that half-dead. ”

The old Taoist said: "The cold and broken tendons are not ordinary poisons, the toxicity invades not the body but the meridians, fortunately, the internal force of this little donor is not strong, as the so-called when it is strong, it is cold, if the internal force of this little donor is strong, he will be hot, and the meridians will be burned and die." If the internal force is too weak, it will chill all over the body, and finally the qi and blood will coagulate to death. The internal force is neither strong nor weak, as long as it is balanced, the toxicity is minimized. ”

Xu Brahma suddenly let out an "oh", shivering all over his body, and his teeth made a pimple sound. Seeing Xu Brahma's uncomfortable expression, the third sister was very concerned and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"I'm so cold. Xu Brahma crossed his arms.

The old Taoist said: "Yes, at this time, the residual poison of the cold and broken tendons attacked, and then you were feverish." ”

Seeing that Xu Brahma was so cold that she was convulsing, the Great Sage Maiden couldn't bear to say, "Third sister, you take out my peel and cover it for him." ”

The old Taoist waved his hand and said, "No need, he will be so hot that he doesn't even want to wear clothes." ”

Sure enough, after a while, Xu Brahma was covered in hot sweat and shouted, "It's hot, it's hot." He wanted to tear off the clothes on his body, but he didn't lose his senses, and he still controlled it, so as not to make a fool of himself in front of the Three Holy Maidens.

The more the three saints looked at it, the more anxious they became, and grabbed the old Taoist's arm with both hands and begged: "Dao Master, there is no way to go on like this, please ask Dao Ye to think of a way to save him." As he spoke, he shook the Taoist's arm vigorously.

Seeing this, the Great Sage Maiden hurriedly stopped: "Third sister, don't be rude. ”

Only then did the Three Holy Maidens realize that they were reckless and hurriedly let go.

The old Taoist said: "It's okay, it's okay." This little benefactor is right, but there is no way to go on like this, his cold inflammation will attack once in an interval, which is also quite torturous. ”

The Great Sage Maiden said: "Dare to ask Dao Master, is there really no antidote in the world to cure this poison?"

The old Taoist said: "Everything in the world is also yin and yang, yin and yang are lacking in each other, and yin and yang are full of each other••••••"

As soon as the five holy women heard the old Taoist tongue twisters who didn't understand it, they all frowned, but the four holy women were more direct, and then asked: "Dao Master, you just be direct, is there an antidote to the ground." ”

The old Taoist was accustomed to talking, and when he saw the four holy maidens interrupting him, he waved his hand and said, "Listen to me." ”

The Four Holy Maidens rolled their eyes and said, "Then how long are you going to talk?"

The Great Sage Maiden then said, "Fourth sister, don't be rude. ”

The four holy maidens hesitated for a moment or two, and then stopped speaking.

The old Taoist laughed a few times and said, "It's okay, it's okay." When it comes to antidotes, there is none, even for those who apply poison. ”

The residual poison in Xu Brahma's body gradually passed, and his consciousness began to sober up, and suddenly when he heard what the old Taoist said, he couldn't help but feel sad, and thought: "Uncle Yan treated me so well when he was young, why did he do this to me today." "Xu Brahma is still shallow in the rivers and lakes, so he naturally doesn't understand the reason.

I saw the old Taoist continue: "Although there is no solution to this poison, there is a sect in Qilin Mountain in Baoding, called Daqimen." The head of the house is a poor junior brother of the short Dao, he has an elixir called Bingqing Yulu Pill, this medicine can be cold and inflammation but has a certain restraint effect, but this medicine is very precious, I don't know if my junior brother is willing to give medicine. ”

As soon as the Great Sage Maiden heard the old Taoist claim that the head of the Great Banner Sect was his junior brother, she was surprised and asked, "The junior brother of the Taoist is a Daoist who is a dwarf Daoist, then you are the wooden Taoist of Qinghai Baiyu Taoist Temple." ”

The old Taoist looked very calm and said, "It's the poor way." ”

As soon as they heard the old Taoist admit that he was a Mudao person, the holy women cast respectful eyes one after another, they didn't expect that they would meet the Mudao person, one of the three immortals of Kunlun, it was really like a dream.

I saw Mu Daoren say: "The reason why the Bingqing Jade Dew Pill is precious is because there are two flavors of medicinal herbs in it that are very rare, that is, snow lotus and fire fox grass, these two herbs can just restrain cold inflammation. ”

The Four Holy Maidens said: "Mu Dao Master, since the Dwarf Daoist is your apprentice, what kind of jade dew pill do you ask him, he has a reason not to give it." ”

Mu Dao Man smiled and said: "The Dwarf Dao Man is a junior disciple of the poor Dao, not an apprentice. This junior brother of mine has a lonely personality and is very obsessed with the art of alchemy, and there are three things in his life that he does not give away, one is the Clam Dragon Sword, the other is the Longevity Pill, and the other is the Bingqing Jade Dew Pill. Even if I came forward, he would never easily give the Ice Clear Jade Dew Pill to the poor Dao. ”

When everyone heard that the Bingqing Jade Dew Pill was not a gift, they all thought: "It's really strange for this old Taoist to speak, why should he take it out to entertain us if he doesn't give it away." ”

The Third Holy Maiden asked, "Dao Master, since the Dwarf Daoist is unwilling to give away the Bingqing Jade Dew Pill to others, won't the poison on his body never be eliminated?"

Mu Daoren said: "This is not necessarily, he refuses to give it, you can borrow it." ”

The Three Holy Maidens ignited a glimmer of hope and hurriedly asked, "How to borrow?"

Mu Daoren said slowly: "Do what you like." As he spoke, he took out a book from his bosom and handed it to the Three Holy Maidens: "This book was given by Qiankun Daoist friends when Poor Dao was wandering in Yunnan, and it happened to be used for alchemy. The Three Holy Maidens took the book and looked at it, and it was written "Yungui Fangshu". The three saints thanked them again and again.

The wooden Dao man helped Xu Brahma, who was in a semi-comatose state, to pick up a small box, opened the lid of the box and took out a small pill, and gave it to Xu Brahma. After a few moments, Xu Brahma had already begun to wake up, and said in a low voice: "Thank you Dao Ye for saving your life." ”

Mu Dao said: "The life of the little donor can't be saved, but I can borrow the method of the Three Clears to relieve your pain." Xu Brahma naturally didn't know what the method of the Three Clears was, and whether this method could cure his own cold inflammation, but he still thanked him.

Mu Dao said: "As the so-called sincerity is spiritual, you should not have doubts. ”

As soon as Xu Brahma heard Mu Daoren say what he thought in his heart, his face couldn't help but turn red.

The Great Sage said: "Sisters, the Taoist Master wants to teach the method of the Three Clears to the little brother, let's avoid suspicion." ”

When the saints heard this, they all moved and wanted to leave, but they were stopped by the wooden road people: "Several donors, the method of the three cleans of the poor road is not a unique skill, but it is just an internal strength and heart method, which can regulate the breath inside and strengthen the body outside, and it is of great benefit to you to listen to it." ”

All the saints looked at each other, and the great saint nodded slightly, signaled and stayed.

I only heard the Mu Dao man say slowly: "The so-called three clears are clear hearts, clear spirits, and clear air." Qi is the soul, and the heart is the spirit. Qi goes to the meridians, and when the qi rises and falls, the meridians are smooth. What I am doing now, you will listen and follow me. After that, the wooden Taoist meditated anywhere, put his palms under the dantian, and continued: "Qi sinks into the dantian, goes to the sea of qi, chases to the middle of the body, turns into the middle of the chong, and Shangyang." Cultivate its vitality, guard its qi, protect its righteous qi, protect its kidney qi, nourish its liver qi, regulate its lung qi, regulate its spleen, raise its clear qi, lower its turbid qi, and close its unhealthy qi. Don't hurt the qi, don't go against the qi, the qi is clear and flat, the qi is smooth and ••••••" Mudao people read out the three clear methods one by one. After the breath was adjusted, everyone suddenly felt relaxed and happy, and the atmosphere was full. Xu Brahma only felt that the boredom in his chest was no longer there, and his whole body was relaxed, but the previous wound was no longer painful, and he was very grateful in his heart, and then knelt down and kowtowed to the Mu Dao people to thank him.

Mu Daoren touched his beard, laughed, and helped Xu Brahma up and said: "Little donor, you know how to repay your kindness, and you really have a wisdom root." Okay, today you and I have a fate, and the poor road will pass on your method of pranayama again. After saying that, he looked around and said with a smile: "This method will be passed on to you alone." ”

When the saints heard this, they knew what they meant, and they all made excuses to avoid suspicion.

Mu Dao said: "Although the method of jade pranayama is not a martial art, it is the superior method of internal force pranayama of Taoism, for people like you who have no foundation in martial arts, the method of jade void pranayama is of great benefit to your future martial arts." ”

Xu Brahma nodded frequently, very grateful.

Mu Dao said: "I recite the mantra of Yuxu, you remember, but the mantra is dead or alive, and how to use it in the future depends on your understanding in the future." ”

Xu Brahma bowed and said yes.

Mu Daoren touched his beard and began to read: "The method of jade void pranayama is divided into seven layers, from shallow to deep, from simple to complex, from easy to difficult. You also remember that in the human body, the spirit and blood cannot be autonomous, listen to the will, do what you want, and stop when you will. When in the hand, the intention is with the palm, which is a combination. If it is galloping on the limbs, the essence and spirit it condenses will then be scattered in the limbs, and it will become a strong •••••• outside." Xu Brahma's brain is still bright, and he can comprehend the mantra taught by the Mudao people, but when the Mudao people read the seventh layer of the Tao, a sentence of qi is only contained in the middle and does not overflow, which makes him confused, Qi is called flowing, hidden but not overflowing, how to run the qi to the body's eight veins, not to mention the qi accumulation and force self-accumulation, qi filling and strength from the Zhou, qi rhyme internal breath is stable, how to hide but not overflow, but it is difficult to understand.

Seeing that Xu Brahma was in trouble, the Mudao people smiled and said: "The dantian is heavy, the dantian is like an urn, the urn is full, and when it is full, it overflows, is this the truth?" Therefore, if you hide it but not reveal it, you will swell, and if you are flatulent, you will be restless, so hiding it is overflowing, and it is natural to follow the air. ”

Xu Brahma was enlightened, it turned out that the root of the Taoist law lies in the four words "go with the flow", he looked happy, and said yes again and again.

Mu Dao people see that Xu Brahma is qualified, but he is satisfied, but he has traveled all over the world, living in no fixed place, and now he will teach Xu Brahma the method of Taoist pranayama, but also hope that he can inherit the Taoist system in the future, so he said: "I see that you have a relationship with Taoism, although I don't want to accept apprentices, but I have high hopes for you, I hope that you will carry forward the essence of Taoism in the future, and I also hope that the residual poison in your body will be removed as soon as possible." ”

After Xu Brahma listened, his heart couldn't help but feel sour, this may be the only person he treated him sincerely after losing his parents, thinking about two lines of hot tears rolling down, kneeling on both knees, and kowtowing three times in a row. Mu Daoren just nodded, sat back on the green cow, and slowly left, and the copper bell quickly disappeared in the distance.
