Lang Zhong from Woshi Town told Bitter Herb that Feng Dewa's injuries were extremely serious, and even if he could save his life, he would be sick, and that Feng Dewa's health could not improve unless he could find the "medicine demon".

Seeing that Lang Zhong in Woshi Town was unable to save Feng Dewa, he hired a carriage to pull Feng Dewa to find the "medicine demon" in the foggy mountains dozens of miles west of Woshi Town.

Because the road was wide and flat, in one day's time, the carriage hired by the bitter endive arrived at the foot of the foggy mountain.

Wudang Mountain is located at the junction of the county capital under the jurisdiction of the king of Xiang'e and the king of Liangjiang, and its east is the vast Liangjiang Great Plain, and the highest peak is nearly 2,000 meters away from Tianchi.

For a long time before the Xurui Dynasty, Wudang Mountain was listed as the first cave heavenly blessed land and became

Taoist holy land.

Buddhism prevailed in the Xurui Dynasty, but it did not reject Taoism, because Taoism pursued immortality and immortality, so the emperors of all dynasties or dynasties worshipped Taoism openly or secretly.

Some noble people who pursue quiet and inaction also choose the blessed land to cultivate themselves.

The people around Wudang Mountain all knew about the Medicine Demon, but no one knew the specific whereabouts of the Medicine Demon.

After the bitter endive was settled, he went up to the Wudang Mountain to look for the medicine demon.

There are many Taoist priests in Wudang Mountain, but these Taoist priests don't know where the medicine demon is.

In desperation, he came to the largest Taoist temple in Wudang Mountain, Zhiheguan, and found the leader of the Taoist priest of Wudang Mountain, the leader of Zhihe Guanguan, to inquire about the whereabouts of the medicine demon.

Houchen Dao is in his fifties, not tall, and his eyes are bright. After he understood the meaning of the endive, he took the endive to a hidden place in the back mountain of Zhiheguan.

The chief of the Houchen Dao came to a smooth and flat stone wall, turned back to the endive, and said, "Bitter endive, you can try to push this stone wall." ”

The bitter endive was transported to the nine piles of work, and used ten percent of his strength to push the stone wall, and the stone wall was actually pushed and turned.

After the stone wall was pushed open, a stone cave was revealed. Houchen Dao Chang led the endive into the stone cave, and then turned around and used all his strength to push the stone wall, which was a little slower than the endive.

The chief of the trail lit a torch, and the bitter endive saw that the cave was filled with clay pots of the same size with wood chips.

Houchen Dao Chang said: "This medicine cave is Fan Feng Dao Chang, these clay pots are all pills made by him, and the name and medicinal use are written on the wood chips. ”

After the Taoist finished speaking, he took a picture on the cave wall, and then took the bitter endive out of the stone cave.

After getting out of the stone cave, the head of the Houchen Dao said to the bitter endive: "This Fan Feng Dao chief is the medicine demon you said, he turned out to be a Taoist priest of Zhiheguan, proficient in medicine, and unrivaled in force, the old master recommended him to be the new master, but he was obsessed with the art of medicine, and went to the bottom of the various peaks and valleys of Wudang Mountain all day long to collect medicine, and refused to be the master of viewing. Later, he went down to the mountain to practice medicine and medicine, and often did not return to Heguan. He found a hidden cave in the back mountain, so he stored the precious elixir he made in a cool cave. When he was away, a Taoist priest fell seriously ill, and the poor Taoist went to the cave to get medicine. Every time he went out, he wrote the address in the cave. These secrets are only known to the poor Dao, and your Su Huo Gate is the first benevolent place on the rivers and lakes, so the poor Dao will not shy away from you, but the stone gate is to verify the identity of the big leader of the Su Huo Gate. Now that you go to the small temple on the mountainside of Luoxi Peak in the West Mountain, you should be able to meet Fan Feng Dao Chief, who may be collecting medicine there. ”

The anxious endive rushed to the Luoxi Peak of the West Mountain that day, and inquired all the way to the small temple on the mountainside.

Luoxi Peak is the most dangerous peak in Wudang Mountain, so there are fewer Taoist priests practicing here, but there are many types of vegetation here, and medicine demons often come here to collect medicine.

When the bitter endive came to the small temple, he saw a six-foot-tall Taoist priest standing, looking at a medicinal herb in his hand in the sun.

The bitter endive shouted the medicine demon three times, and the medicine demon ignored the bitter endive.

The bitter endive had no choice but to stand there, anxiously waiting for the medicine demon to put down the herb, and then hurriedly stepped forward to say hello. He knew that if he delayed a little longer, he would be more dangerous.

The medicine demon, who was nearly a head shorter than the bitter endive, opened a pair of rat eyes, grabbed a handful of beards that were curled up around his cheeks, and said, "I'm not a mortal wind leader, you've found the wrong person, let's go!"

Bitter Herb had already learned about the appearance of the medicine demon from the Houchen Dao Chief, so he gave a salute and said, "Fan Feng Dao Chief! I really have something urgent to ask you, and it was the Houchen Dao Elder who asked me to come here to find you." ”

The Medicine Demon said, "I know he asked you to come, but I am indeed not a Mortal Wind Dao Master. If you don't believe it, you go to Zhiheguan and find a Taoist priest at random, and you ask him if I am the head of the Fan Feng Dao. ”

Bitter Ryce saw that the medicine demon was deliberately teasing him, and the fire of anxiety in his heart became more and more intense, but he still said calmly: "Houchen Dao Leader told me that the medicine demon I am looking for is Fan Feng Dao Chief......

The Medicine Demon jumped over and said, "So you're looking for the Medicine Demon! Do you have any jewels on you?"

The bitter endive said, "No!"

The medicine demon said, "Do you have one at home?"

Bitter Herb said, "We don't have any jewels in the Corn Fire Gate. ”

The medicine demon said, "Those who come to me are all to save the dying patient, so I will use precious medicinal herbs, so you have to exchange them for jewelry." ”

"I'll do my best to find the jewels for you, can you go and save my patient first?"

The medicine demon said: "My rule is to take the jewelry first and then the medicine, if not, you can go down the mountain!"

The bitter endive fell to his knees and said, "Please!

The medicine demon glanced at the bitter endive and said, "Seeing that you are quite honest, I will give you another chance." Just now you said that it was from the Su Huo Sect, and I seem to have heard that the disciples of the Su Huo Sect are strong in terms of violence. If you can pull me out of this circle, I'll go down the mountain with you. ”

After speaking, the medicine demon drew a circle where he was standing, and then stretched out his arm to the bitter endive.

Bitter Ivory stretched out his arm to hold the medicine demon's arm, and slowly pulled the medicine demon out of the circle.

The medicine demon's arm was gently pushed to the left along the arm of the bitter endive, and after the arm was straightened, it was pushed out to the right, and finally it was retracted in front of him, and the arm was stretched out again and again, making a circular motion.

Seeing that the medicine demon easily dissolved his thirty percent of his strength, the method used was very strange, and he had a premonition that this medicine demon was a strange man of force, in order to save Feng Dewa, he dispelled all his worries, his body shook, and he had nine kung fu, and his internal strength was exhausted, and his pull this time used ten percent of the strength of the entire body.

The medicine demon felt a stormy wave of force coming from the endive's arm at the moment when the body of the bitter endive shook, and he also instantly had full internal strength, and his mind and internal qi moved in a circular motion with the whole body, and his legs and one arm were moving along the arc, leading the powerful power of the front of the endive to the side.

The bitter endive pulled the medicine demon with ten percent of his strength, only to feel that there was a huge force on the side pulling him, only to see the medicine demon swaying back and forth left and right, and when his strength was exhausted, the medicine demon was still standing firmly in the circle.

The bitter endive stopped pulling the medicine demon, the force was super strong, and he fell into a state of mental trance for a while.

Two days ago, the masked man and the medicine demon in front of him were like a thick fog shrouding the bitter endive, and he was stunned and still.

After the medicine demon tested the character and strength of the endive, he came over and pushed the endive and said, "Let's go——! you made me tempted to get out of the circle, and I will go down the mountain with you." ”

Chapter 4: The Great Convergence

Most of the Taoist priests in Zhiheguan were not familiar with the medicine demon, and even fewer people knew the name of the Fan Feng Dao chief, and the Houchen Dao chief saw the medicine demon and hurriedly bowed and saluted, looking extremely respectful.

The Houchen Dao Chief arranged Feng Dewa in a secret room in the backyard, and after the medicine demon gave Feng Dewa a few days of blood injury medicine, his face gradually flushed with a hint of ruddy, and his eyes slowly opened.

The medicine demon said to the bitter endive: "His life is saved, but whether he can recover all his physical strength, it is uncertain now, even if he can recover completely, it will take more than half a year." ”

Bitter Herb nodded with great satisfaction and said, "Thank you Fan Feng Dao Master for saving my life to my disciple Hyacinth! He is the great benefactor of the Suhuo Gate, the servant of the Bodhisattva, who entrusted me to take care of, if something happens, I will feel guilty for the rest of my life." ”

The medicine demon said: "You don't have to be polite, you Su Huomen sacrificed your life and death to hoe the strong and help the weak, and the righteousness was thin and cloudy, and this little thing I did was not enough to worry about." Hyacinth needs to take medicine with me for a period of time, you can go back to Suhuomen and do your thing! After half a year, I may give you back a fully recovered apprentice. ”

The bitter endive left the Foggy Mountain in this way.

A month later, most of Fengdewa's body had recovered. During this period, the medicine demon has never left Zhiheguan.

The Taoist priests of Zhiheguan didn't know that Feng Dewa was in the secret room, and the medicine demons who came in and out were also regarded as wandering Taoist priests who lived in it.

After another half a moon, the medicine demon left Zhiheguan with Feng Dewa, who had moved freely, and came to the Luoxi Peak of the West Mountain, where he lived in a small temple on the mountainside.

The speed at which Fengdewa's body recovered was too fast, and he was already able to use eighty percent of his force.

After watching Feng Dewa practice, the medicine demon suddenly remembered Zhang He more than thirty years ago.

The medicine demon observed Feng Dewa with interest: this kid's talent is on par with Zhang He, and his strength is a few points higher than that of Zhang He at that time, if this kid cultivates Zhang He's Zen Medicine Dao Gang Gong again, his force may be invincible in the world.

The medicine demon refused to be the master of the Zhiheguan back then, and the insiders thought that he was obsessed with medicine and had no intention of managing the more than 2,000 Taoist priests of the Wudang Mountain, the leader of the Zhiheguan, in fact, there was a more important reason, that is, at that time, he was integrating the internal strength of medicine and Taoism, and he had to find a quiet place to practice. So soon after refusing to be the master of the temple, the medicine demon left the Zhihe Temple with his only apprentice Zhang He, came to the secluded Luoxi Peak of the West Mountain, and built a small temple on the mountainside, where the apprentice Zhang He took care of the daily life, while the medicine demon concentrated on integrating the internal strength of medicine and Taoism.

The origin of internal power may be in the doctor, and the generation of the meridian theory has opened the way for the development of internal strength. The medicine demon fused his proficient medical meridian theory, breath guidance, and exercise therapy with the Taoist Neidan technique of refining and refining qi, refining qi and transforming spirits, and refining gods to return to emptiness, and created a new internal gong method, which was named Taoist medical gong.

The Taoist medical gong is based on the Taoist inner Dan technique, the medical guidance technique and exercise therapy are the main outside, and the Taoist theory of "the extreme of things must be opposed" and "the strong things are old", and the principle of static braking and overcoming rigidity with softness is the principle of performing the exercises, and the highest state of the unity of heaven and man is pursued.

When the Dao Medical Skill was successfully established, the Medicine Demon was not yet forty years old, and Zhang He, who was only a teenager at the time, directly cultivated the newly created Dao Medical Skill of the Medicine Demon, and in ten years, he practiced a powerful internal force. Later, during the ten years when Zhang He went down to the mountain to practice medicine, he became close friends with the Zen master of the Evil Plum Mountain Yinian Temple, and practiced the Buddhist internal strength of the Evil Plum School that was passed down by the Zen master. Zhang He was attracted by the Buddhist practice of "clear mind and insight", and began to try to integrate the internal strength of the Evil Mei Buddhism and the Taoist medical skills. The Taoist internal gong method is based on "refining the heart and refining nature" and pays attention to the inner cultivation, while the Buddhist internal gong method vigorously develops the internal and external exercises on the basis of the internal and external exercises of the doctor, and trains the power of various parts of the body under the internal force to the extreme.

Zhang He fused the medical Taoist gong and the evil plum Buddha family gong to create the exercise, although it will cause some damage to the body, but its power in the actual combat has increased a lot, he named this exercise Yidao Zen Gong.

After Zhang He entered the capital and became an important minister of Emperor Zhou Zhou, he often corresponded with the Seven Kings (Seven Great Military Marshals) of the dynasty, and Meng Rin, the Taiping King of the Seven Kings (Meng Tai's father), was his close friend, and he came into contact with Confucianism and exercises, which opened Zhang He's eyes.

The Taoist master Medicine Demon, the Buddhist master Zen Master Bushe, and the Confucian master Taiping Wang Meng Rin taught Zhang He the ideological exercises that were mastered by Zhang Herong, who had great wisdom.

Hundreds of schools of thought contend, but in fact, the truth of the great avenue in the world is the same. Zhang He found that although the three central exercises of Buddhism's "clear mind and insight", Taoism's "refining the mind and refining nature", and Confucianism's "mindfulness and cultivation" are very different, and the Buddhist exercises and Confucian exercises have even taken the opposite path, but the state of mind and purpose pursued by the three exercises are completely identical.

Based on this truth, Zhang He improved the medical Tao Zen Gong he founded, and added the Confucian Haoran Gang Qi and the Golden Mean exercises, and once again created a new exercise, named Zen Medicine Dao Gang Gong.

When Zhang He founded the Zen medicine Dao Ganggong, he was only in his thirties. A few years later, he found an opportunity to ask Emperor Zhou Zhou for a leave of absence and returned to Wudang Mountain in January.

The medicine demon is nearly twenty years older than Zhang He, before the establishment of the Taoist medicine gong, he has been practicing the Taoist inner pill technique for more than 20 years, and when Zhang He and the medicine demon practiced the Taoist medicine skill for ten years under the foggy mountain, the power of the medicine demon was far above Zhang He.

Zhang He, who had already been a first-class military attache of the Xurui Dynasty, returned to Wudang Mountain with the force of Zen doctor Dao Ganggong who had been practicing for several years.

During the more than ten years that Zhang He went down to Wudang Mountain, he only went back to Wudang Mountain twice to visit the medicine demon because of his troubled affairs, and this time was the third time he returned to Wudang Mountain.

Zhang He knows the secrets of the cave in Zhihe Guanhou Mountain, and can always find the medicine demon quickly.

After the master and apprentice meet, they first discuss the way of medicine, and then try the way of martial arts.

As soon as the martial arts competition began, Zhang He made the first move and slapped the medicine demon's chest with a palm. The medicine demon was stunned for a moment, the medical Dao Gong paid attention to the preemptive strike, not confronting people head-on, but accumulating strength to hit the opponent's flaws, and Zhang He's first move was not like the number of medical Dao Gong.

The medicine demon was unmoved, and still turned around to hit Zhang He's elbow without avoiding reality, not wanting Zhang He's move to turn out to be a false move, but it was only changed at the moment of contact with the opponent, this move was a combination of Confucianism and Taoism. After two moves, Zhang He occupied a favorable position, and he began to preemptively look for the flaws of the medicine demon.

After ten moves, Zhang He, who took the lead, found that the medicine demon had no flaws to find at all. But Zhang He's Zen doctor Dao Ganggong founded by him also made it difficult for the medicine demon to find his flaws. Later, the two of them deliberately fought a few contact battles, their palms touched, although Zhang He was shocked and kept retreating, but he was always able to avoid the continuous blows of the medicine demon, and after fighting for a long time, the medicine demon could not defeat Zhang He, and in the end, the medicine demon had no choice but to use the innovative method of medical Dao Gong arc force to restrain Zhang He.

The medicine demon pondered for a while and said to Zhang He: "The miraculous Zen doctor Dao Gang Gong has made you increase your strength for more than ten years compared to me. I have always been conceited, thinking that by developing the doctrine of medicine and Taoism, I can find the truth of the Great Dao in the world, but Zhang Heyou has indeed found a way to get closer to the truth of the Great Dao of martial arts than the Dao Gong of Martial Arts. It seems that the heavens, the earth, the Tao, and the saints are also big, but the doctors are not big, and the Taoists are not big!"

After the medicine demon finished speaking, he taught Zhang He the arc movement technique of the improved medical Dao Gong, and Zhang He also taught the Zen medicine Dao Gang Gong to the medicine demon. Since the foundation of the two new exercises was the medical Dao Gong that they had practiced for many years, within a month, Zhang He and the Medicine Demon had successfully learned the new exercises, and all that was left was that they needed to continue to practice to increase their strength. Zhang He is now nearly sixty years old, and he is nearly eighty years old.
