Chapter 3: The Secret of Longevity

Kou Zhong was suddenly shocked: "How do you know that we have the Secret of Eternal Life on us!? You are the person of the old thief of Yuwen!"

He was shouting here, and Xu Ziling, who was in a trance, also suddenly woke up, and looked at Li Shidao vigilantly with him, his face full of vigilance.

Li Shidao smiled slightly, glanced at the window next to him intentionally or unintentionally, and said with a smile: "You don't have to be like this, I just want to borrow the longevity formula in your hands to take a look, and I don't mean to harm you." ”

Kou Zhong smiled evilly: "Hmph, are you a three-year-old child? What you say is ridiculous!"

Xu Ziling asked, "You invited us on the boat just for the sake of "The Secret of Longevity"?"

"Yes and no. ”

Li Shidao shook his head, "I'm really here for the Recipe for Eternal Life, but it's also to help you escape from Yu Wenhua's pursuit." As long as you are willing to lend me the "Recipe for Longevity", I promise that you will have a safe journey and will not be chased and killed by Yu Wenhua. ”

"Not to be hunted down by Yu culture?"

Hearing this, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were a little moved in their hearts.

They are not afraid of being hunted down, but every time they are hunted down, Fu Junwu will be injured, which is something they don't want to see. If this Song Shidao really returned it to himself just for a moment, it would be a very cost-effective deal.

Merely......

Li Shidao saw that they were moved, and then said: "You can rest assured! After I finish reading it, I will return it to you immediately." Never break your word!"

"Well, I'll trust you once. If you're a fool, you're a puppy!" Kou Zhong responded, took out a book from his arms, and handed it to Li Shidao.

Why did he hand over the "Secret of Eternal Life" so quickly, firstly, the two of them couldn't understand this book at all, and they couldn't learn it if they took it, so it was better to let this Song Master learn the Tao, maybe he could know from him how to cultivate this martial art that was not a martial art;

He was originally a gangster in Yangzhou, and his thinking was different from that of ordinary martial arts people, so he was willing to hand over this Taoist treasure book "Longevity Formula".

Li Shidao took the book, sat down on a chair in the room, and opened the book with excitement.

According to the word of mouth of the past dynasties, the book "Eternal Life Formula" 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.

When you open the book, the first thing that catches your eye is the dense handwriting inside the book, which are all annotations from those who have come and gone with the book. Since they were not completely deciphered, these things that were later sorted out are often more confusing than the original text.

There are seven humanoid figures in the book, none of which are oriented to 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, if they reluctantly follow one of the symbols to urge the internal qi, the qi and blood will immediately churn, and then they will go mad, and the danger is extreme.

Li Shidao's realm has long been incomparable to ordinary people, and because he knows some of them, he directly turned to the place where the seven humanoid drawings were recorded.

He was full of mind and sensitive, and since he was a child, he had the ability to never forget, and after a moment of detailed reading, he had memorized all seven pictures, and there was not the slightest deviation in them. After confirming that he had memorized any of the details, he casually closed the book and returned it to Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, who were looking at him curiously next to him.

"Do you understand these ghost talismans?"

"Those ghost drawings are oracle bone inscriptions, specially used to confuse people, if you want to learn it, you can only start with the pictures, but the content of the pictures is obscure and difficult, if you learn it randomly, you will go mad at least and die on the spot. You two need to be careful. Li Shidao kindly reminded.

Kou Zhong snorted: "Cut! I thought you could understand it, but I disappointed the master again." ”

Li Shidao shook his head, got up and walked to the door, opened the door, and left a sentence before leaving: "Instead of pondering this kind of thing, isn't the martial arts of the masters around you more worthy of your learning!"

"What does he mean by that?"

"Let's learn from that woman......"

Before she finished speaking, Fu Junwu, who was covered with cold frost, pushed open the door that had just been closed, and looked at the two teenagers in the room with cold eyes.

"It's miserable!"

Back in his room, Li Shidao sat cross-legged on the bed, staring at the contents of the humanoid drawings recorded in his mind.

Among the four great books of martial arts, the "Recipe for Longevity" is a Taoist treasure, but unfortunately it is written in oracle bone inscriptions, not to mention the present, even in the twenty-first century, don't think that anyone can completely break the text content. Therefore, if you want to cultivate the know-how, you can only start with seven pictures.

However, these seven pictures only have symbols such as the route of the exercise, but there are no records of where to start and where to end, and what to pay attention to when exercising, and so on, and the cultivator can only rely on his own wisdom and realm to ponder little by little.

Li Shidao dabbled in a hundred schools of thought in his spare time in this life, and the Taoist who showed his knowledge would naturally not be an exception. He was also known for his mastery of medicine in the Overworld, and the two were compared to each other, and they corroborated each other, so he deduced the seven diagrams in the way of mental deduction.

He was born with a strong mind, and the combination of martial wisdom and Taoist wisdom gradually led to success in failure after failure. With the previous experience, the deduction in the back will naturally be fast, when he is tired and has to rest, the first picture has already been deduced, and the others can only be tested through actual cultivation.

There are seven diagrams of this longevity formula, and according to the original text, it can be practiced separately, but it seems that practicing separately will sow trouble for oneself. Therefore, he did not immediately cultivate the first picture, but after resting, he continued to deduce the second picture, preparing to wait for all seven pictures to be deduced before starting to practice step by step.

It is very difficult to deduce this skill, the first picture may be because of the introductory effort, so it is easy to deduce, but in the second picture, it becomes very difficult to deduce, almost a little thought about it and feel that there is a mistake, and even find that the good part of the deduction has a conflict with the back and have to be re-deduced is also commonplace.

By the time someone knocked on the door to remind him that the feast was ready, the second picture had only just been deduced by a quarter, and the progress was much slower than the first.

Opening his eyes, Master Li sighed with emotion: "Although the level of this longevity recipe is higher than that of ordinary martial arts, but after all, it is also a limited vision, and it is very laborious to start deducing from ignorance, I don't know what the person who wrote this book had in mind back then, so I am not afraid that this kung fu will cut off the inheritance?!"
