Chapter 4: Seeking
"You really don't want to be the head of the house in the future?" Ning Qinglin asked in a strange tone.
Yue Buqun replied very honestly: "The master and nephew really don't have the talent to be in charge, so it's better to let others do it." ”
Ning Qinglin stared at Yue Buqun deadly, and when he saw that his mind was decided, he agreed that this was the truth, sighed, and thought for a moment before saying: "You are quite generous, if the two sects of sword qi have such an atmosphere as you, there will not be so many things happening." ”
Seeing that Yue Buqun had set a date for going down the mountain, he had to tell some things on the rivers and lakes so that he could be safer. After all, Yue Buqun had not achieved martial arts before, and he had never gone down the mountain alone, and now he was unaccompanied by no one when he went down the mountain, so he was really relieved. Ning Qinglin talked a lot to Yue Buqun, and they also had a meal together in the middle. This kind of care is as if Yue Buqun is Ning Qinglin's son, which makes Yue Buqun very moved, and he is also a little reluctant to Huashan. No matter how reluctant you are, in order not to let history repeat itself, you can only let it go.
Two days later, Yue Buqun packed up a few sets of clothes, brought a few days of dry food, and took more than fifty taels of silver from Ning Qinglin, holding a Huashan disciple's standard long sword. After bidding farewell to his master Duan Qingxuan and his uncle Ning Qinglin, he went to the mountain gate. Ning Zhong was reluctant, and pulled Yue Buqun to the mountain pass, unwilling to let go. The wind does not speak, Zhang Buzhi is not confused, and Chen Bushan and the three of them also bid farewell at the mountain road, and after a few words between the two sides, they persuaded Ning Zhongze and let her practice martial arts on Huashan Mountain, before turning around and going down the mountain.
Because there is no destination for the time being, I slowly and leisurely along the way, watching the beautiful scenery of Huashan in early summer, and from time to time going to the valley again, watching the south peak, west peak and north peak of Huashan from bottom to top. Chaoyang Peak, the east peak where the Huashan faction is located, and the Jade Girl Peak, which is the branch peak or the middle peak, are all very familiar to Yue Buqun in his memory, and the other three peaks are not very familiar. After staying for half a day, seeing that the sky was getting late, Yue Buqun made Huashan light work to Huayin County.
This Huashan's Ten Duan Jin Light Gong Body Method does not quite match the name of the Huashan faction, and the dodge attack is very dexterous, but it is not possible to rush high for a long time. A stride is not more than a foot, the speed is not fast, less than an hour, the internal breath is a little scattered, and the legs and feet are weak. After Yue Buqun rested for a while, he hurried with light work again, and did not rush to Huayin County until it was dark. The city gate has long been closed, and the people in the martial arts will not wait honestly. Yue Buqun saw that the city wall was two zhang high, pondered in his heart, and in a place where no one was watching, he carried the burden well, held the sword in his left hand, and rushed straight after raising his breath, kicked the ground with his left leg, and flew up one zhang, and then kicked the city wall with his right leg, and rose seven feet, and flew up to the city wall as soon as he grabbed the battlement with his right hand. Seeing that there was no one around, he flew into the county again.
The houses in Huayin County in the Ming Dynasty were not tall, the houses were crowded next to each other, and there were only 2,000 people in a county seat. Yue Buqun came to the only inn in the county and ordered a room that said it was a Tianzi upper room. The room is only more than ten square meters, a bed, a table, two benches, and a washbasin, and it costs 200 yuan, about more than 100 yuan in later generations. Yue Buqun was helpless, and the living standard of the Ming Dynasty was like this.
After resting for the night, Yue Buqun walked around the city, learned a little about the living conditions of the people in the Ming Dynasty, and decided to go west. The current rivers and lakes are very chaotic, mainly between the Demon Sect and the Wuyue Sword Sect, Wudang, Beggars and other factions. Among them, the Demon Sect and the Wuyue Sword Sect fought the most fiercely, and many people died in the hands of each other every year, and the Guanghuashan faction died in the war related to the Demon Sect for four consecutive generations.
The best situation is the Shaolin faction, the Shaolin faction has many temples in various places, but the lower courtyard of the Shaolin Temple in Putian is the most special, and it can stand side by side with the Songshan Shaolin Temple. Putian Shaolin Temple does not obey the orders of Songshan Shaolin Temple, and at the same time does not obey the orders of Songshan Shaolin Temple, there is also Shaolin Temple in the Western Regions. In order to avoid a fight between the Shaolin temples in the north and south, they were divided into two Shaolin factions in the north and south in the Song Dynasty;
Northern Shaolin is now in retreat, and it will be a few years or so before it will enter the WTO. It was more than 90 years ago when I joined the WTO, and it was the reign of the Yuan Dynasty, that is, in the novel "Heaven and Dragon Slayer". And South Shaolin is now the time to join the WTO, and has held the righteous path of martial arts for more than 90 years. With the Demon Sect in the south and the north, there is not much conflict. The main force in the rivers and lakes that confronted the Demon Sect has always been the Wuyue Sword Sect, and Yue Buqun suspected that the war between Huashan and the Demon Sect was actually provoked by Southern Shaolin.
The reason is that the strength of the Huashan faction at that time was not weak, and it was the third largest faction in the martial arts, and there were more than 20 first-class grandmasters. Since the second ancestor of sword qi went to Southern Shaolin, he fought with the Demon Sect because of the "Sunflower Treasure Book". You must know that at that time, Southern Shaolin only had the original, and the Demon Sect was looking for Southern Shaolin, but because the Red Leaf Zen Master burned the original, he dispelled the idea of the Demon Sect. And the people who know that Huashan has a copy of the "Sunflower Treasure Book", there are only four people, the two ancestors of the sword qi are stealing, so naturally they will not leak the secret; the Duyuan Zen Master himself has secretly learned, let alone leak the secret; then only the merciful Red Leaf Zen Master has the possibility of leaking the secret.
At that time, when the Second Ancestor of Sword Qi peeked at the treasure book, it may not have been the plan of "Jiang Taigong fishing, and those who wish to take the bait" of the Red Leaf Zen Master, but the time has been long ago and cannot be confirmed. Think about the beggars in the Tianlong world, the Quanzhen Sect and the beggar gang in the Liangdiao world, and the Huashan and Songshan sects in the world, the decline is all related to Shaolin Buddhism. Especially in the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism in the Yuan Dynasty, the Shaolin faction fought shirtless. With the help of Meng Ge and Kublai Khan, the Quanzhen Sect was defeated. As a result, Shaolin has once again become the number one faction of righteous martial arts.
In terms of the good Wudang in the world of Yitian, there is an old immortal Zhang Sanfeng who is more than 100 years old who survived, but he was also tossed by the Shaolin faction; In recent years, in addition to the Yuqing Dao Chief, the Chongxu Dao Chief has gradually lost talent and has begun to decline. I don't understand why the Demon Sect has never attacked Shaolin, and the only time in Xiaoao is just a joke. It was not until the Qing Dynasty that the Qing Dynasty emperor believed in shamanism and Tibetan Buddhism, and because of the White Lotus Sect, Maitreya Sect, and the frequent rebellion of the childless old mother, the Heaven and Earth Society, the Red Flower Society and Shaolin were also closely related, that they were suppressed by the Qing court of the ruler Manchu, and the Central Plains Buddhism and Shaolin sect began to decline. (Some people say that Buddhist disciples are compassionate and do not do evil things.) But in reality, among the three major sects in the world, who is not a very aggressive sect, with the establishment of a country with its own sect as the supreme rule as the highest goal, first administer scriptures, confuse people's hearts, and those who do not listen speak with swords, and those who dare to resist are heretics. Such as medieval Europe, West Asia, Central Asia, North Africa, India, Tibet, Mongolia, and southeastern countries before liberation. In China, there are also deeds of monks instigating ministers and princes to rebel in the history books, if China did not produce a few kings who destroyed Buddhism, and Taoism and Confucianism imposed great restrictions on Buddhism, China would have become a Buddhist country on earth. And the kings who destroyed the Buddha died mysteriously or lost their country soon after the destruction of the Buddha, obviously it was retribution, and secretly feared that it was the conspiracy of the Buddha, which shows the power of the conspiracy of the Buddha. )
The more Yue Buqun thought about it, the more frightened he felt, and he shuddered, it was better to go west and be safer to the west. Looking at the direction, Yue Buqun decided to go to Zhongnan Mountain first to see what happened to the descendants of the divine eagle of the tomb of the living dead. Slowly and leisurely all the way to the mountains and rivers, to Zhongnan Mountain, to be a prodigal son who lives for himself. I first went to Lishan, Huaqingchi, Cuihua Mountain, and Nanwutai to play a bit before coming to Huxian.
Chongyang Palace is in Huxian, there is Chongyang Palace in the real world, and I am afraid that there is no Chongyang Palace in the world. After asking the local people, sure enough, there are none, only some scattered small Taoist temples, and some small temples, all of which are not large-scale, and I have not seen any rich and fairy-like figures. After Yue Buqun asked the address of Mingyuan Chongyang Palace, he bought some dry food before walking towards the mountain. In the mountains and forests in early summer, the grass and trees are a little dense, and some of the old stone paths are also missing, Yue Buqun had to open the road with a sword, and it took a long time to find the ruins of the original Chongyang Palace.
There is a small Taoist temple on the site, with a radius of only a few acres, Yue Buqun doesn't care about him, and goes straight to the mountain behind the Taoist temple. The back mountain covers an extremely wide area, and you can't find the secret passage of the creek into the ancient tomb back and forth. Sit cross-legged and think about the memory in your mind, it seems that the secret passage of the creek is not in this back mountain, but at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain. I don't know how long I'll have to look for a place this big. Yue Buqun is not discouraged, he has peerless martial arts when he finds the ancient tomb, and now it is just a matter of spending some time.
After thinking about it, he raised his breath and got up, and suddenly remembered something in mid-air, his breath suddenly leaked, and he couldn't help but panic, and his body fell to the ground. Yue Buqun lay on the ground and smiled bitterly, the water nature of the two worlds is very poor, Huashan Qigong in the "Shen Ning Dantian, rest in the Purple Mansion, if the body is empty and beyond Huayue, the qi is like rushing into the sky and shaking Beichen" The method of holding the breath is not very clever, how to enter the underground waterway that takes more than half an hour.
Yue Buqun stood up in disappointment and walked out of the mountain, and after a while, he saw the small Taoist temple again. With a thought in mind, why not use this as a base to practice swimming and find the secret passage of the creek, so he turned around and walked towards the Taoist temple. Yue Buqun walked slowly into the Taoist temple, and was about to call, but saw that the Taoist temple was having an evening class at this time, and more than a dozen old and young Taoist priests in the main hall were sitting cross-legged with their backs to the door, reciting the "Quanzhen Homework Sutra" in their mouths, and the low chanting sound was refreshing, and there were many less troubles in their hearts.
In the middle of the main hall sits an old Taoist with white hair and eyebrows, two feet long beard fluttering like a fairy, I don't know how long he lives, wearing a half-old black and white Taoist robe, kind eyebrows and kind eyes, thin cheeks, holding a whisk of dust, looking at it is admirable, a good truth. Yue Buqun couldn't help but sit cross-legged at the door, learning the tones of the Taoist priests, and also reciting the scriptures.
Half an hour later, when the Taoist priests had finished their evening class, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old Taoist boy found Yue Buqun and hurriedly came forward to inquire. Yue Buqun claimed that he was a descendant disciple of Hao Datong's true lineage of the Quanzhen Sect, and because Huashan Taoism was not prosperous, he came to the original site of Chongyang Palace to seek the Tao. After the little Taoist boy went back to report, he asked Yue Buqun to go to the main hall to meet the ancestor Xuan Zhenzi Zhenren, Yue Buqun then entered the hall and gave a salute to Xuan Zhenzi Zhenren to express his respect. Xuan Zhenzi said: "I heard that the lineage of Huashan Hao Guangning Taigu Zhenren has been transformed into martial arts, and cultivators have become more and more rare, it is rare that you were born in it, and you can still maintain your original heart and come to the True Ancestral Court to seek the Tao." It's just that I don't have much truth in the way, and I'm afraid I won't be able to guide you much. ”
Yue Buqun's old face turned red after hearing this, it was not right to deceive the old man, not to mention that it was a true person, and he said truthfully: "The disciple came to Quanzhen to seek the Tao, and it was also in the heart of improving his own martial arts, not as noble as the old Taoist thought. ”
Xuan Zhenzi Zhenren waved his hand and said: "No hindrance, no hindrance, martial arts and Taoism are one family, only practicing martial arts and not asking questions is to fall into the inferior class, I think that Wudang's Sanfeng real person is not to enter the Tao with martial arts." ”
Yue Buqun became more and more ashamed, anyway, there was nothing to do, it was better to calm down, and wash his heart that was confused by the red dust of later generations, so as to alleviate his thoughts about his relatives. Yue Buqun wanted to stop staying, and that night he asked Xuan Zhenzi Zhenren for Taoist classics, and the people of later generations learned very complicated and not refined, but Xuan Zhenzi Zhenren devoted himself to cultivating the Tao but was refined but not extensive, and both of them had great gains. Xuan Zhenzi Zhenren didn't dare to be a teacher anymore, and only talked with Yue Buqun's peers.
On the second day, Yue Buqun finished the morning class with the Taoist priests, and after breakfast, he saw that the Taoist priests gathered together again to practice boxing. Yesterday, I knew that these more than ten Taoist priests did not know martial arts, thinking that practicing boxing was just to strengthen the body, so they only looked at it casually. Unexpectedly, the more I looked at it, the more surprised I became, and the more I looked at it, the more serious it became, although Yue Buqun's martial arts were not too high, and he only had the realm of second-rate lower grades, but he was born as a big disciple of the head of the Huashan faction, but his vision realm was high. It can be seen that this way of boxing is very exquisite, much more exquisite than the inner and outer fists of Huashan, and there is the shadow of Taoist inner fists.
It's just that the Dao doesn't cultivate internal strength, so I can't see how powerful it is. Yue Buqun hurriedly asked Xuan Zhenzi Zhenren who was sitting in the hall, and Xuan Zhenzi Zhenren said: "This is what Poor Dao got when he was young, it was ninety years ago, when Poor Dao was only seven or eight years old, and there were only two people in the view. It was also in the early summer, and three thousand court officials and soldiers came down from the mountain, searching the mountain vigorously, looking for something, and also came to Benguan to ask our teacher, whether there were any people who practiced martial arts in Zhongnan Mountain. Later, after a month, they all retreated, and it seemed that a small half of the men were missing, and everyone was wounded. Our division was very curious, so we took the poor road along the blood stains left by the officers and soldiers, searched all the way, and finally stopped at a cave at the foot of the mountain where a stream gushed out. My division expected that the secret was in the stream, but I did not dare to enter to find out, after all, there were many dead officers and soldiers, and there must be a great terror in it. My division and I searched for a few miles of land, and were shocked to see more than 30 officers and soldiers and a young fairy lying on the ground, so they buried everyone with kindness. At this time, the poor road was bored and looked around, and saw a book stuck on the branch not far away, and that book was this boxing scripture. Later, my master and I searched for a few more days, but found nothing before returning to the view with the boxing scriptures. This punch has also become a method of strengthening the body in my view, and learning this punch is also light and healthy, and it will prolong life. ”
Yue Buqun was shocked, there were 3,000 officers and soldiers in the court, could it be that the descendants of the Condor were killed by the officers and soldiers? Ninety years ago was the later period of Zhu Yuanzhang's reign, could it be that the descendants of the Condor saw that Lao Zhu was too murderous and went to carry out assassination, but they were suppressed by Lao Zhu? Otherwise, how could a family of a hidden sect offend the officers and soldiers and be exterminated? Except for Lao Zhu, no one has such great courage.
Yue Buqun didn't know why, so he could only give up and asked, "Old Daoist, I don't know what the name of this scripture is?"
This scripture is called "Kongming Fist Sutra", written by Zhou Botong Zhenren, and then there is a set of "two-handed fighting techniques" of the key decisions, which no one has been able to learn for many years. Xuan Zhenzi covered his long beard with his hand and said, "If you want to practice, the poor way can give you a view of the Quan Sutra." Yue Buqun was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly thanked Xuan Zhenzi, Xuan Zhenzi ordered the more than ten years old Taoist boy to go to his own meditation room to get the fist scripture, Yue Buqun was busy taking it with both hands, and thanked him again and again.
The pages of the "Kongming Fist Sutra" have long been yellowed, and when I opened it, it was written on the first page: "There is a saying in the Tao Te Ching: 'If the soldiers are strong, they will be destroyed, and if the wood is strong, they will be broken.'" Strong on the outside, weak on the top. The world is weaker than water, and the strong can win, and it is not easy. The weak is better than the strong, and the soft is better than the strong', the world knows everything, and nothing can be done. ...... If Dacheng is missing, its use is not harmful. If the big profit is rushing, its use is endless...... 'this road fist has a total of seventy-two roads, which is to attack the real with falsehood, and win more than enough with the insufficiency. It is necessary to aim at being clear in the air, soft and tough, feminine and incomparable, and if there is no fist power, it needs to be clear and clear in the heart. The sixteen-character key of this fist is, 'empty hazy pine hole, wind and dreams, rushing to the poor, and Tong Yong bow worm'. ”
Yue Buqun sighed very much after seeing it, this boxing scripture has been more than 200 years of Cangsang, and he can learn it, which is a great luck, and he can't help but say: "This is really the softest boxing technique in the world, I heard that Zhou Botong Zhenren's mind is as simple as a naughty child, and his talent in martial arts is no less than that of Sanfeng Zhenren." It's a pity that Zhou Botong practiced martial arts only for fun, and he was deeply convinced of Taoism's indisputable method, and he did not devote his mind to carrying forward the way of martial arts. Otherwise, there will be one more person in the world, no less than the Chongyang Emperor and the Bertong real person of Sanfeng Zhenren. I have to pass on Zhou Botong's real boxing skills today, and I am very grateful, but I want to compete and make a name for the real person. ”
Xuan Zhenzi Zhenren nodded and praised: "You have this heart, but it is not as good as the poor way to bury this fist sutra in the land of the south." After speaking, he passed on his nearly 90 years of experience in boxing. Xuan Zhenzi has a deep understanding of the Tao, and has been practicing boxing for many years, and has known the truth of boxing for many years, but he has no internal strength and cannot use the power of boxing. Yue Buqun was grateful for Xuan Zhenzi's generosity, and he had nothing to repay, and he also taught Xuan Zhenzi the three Huashan Qigong mental methods in addition to Zixia Divine Skill. The real person meditated and pondered the key points of the Huashan Mental Method, and after a long time, he began to practice, and Yue Buqun also absorbed the experience passed on by the real person on the side. An hour later, Yue Buqun roughly understood this boxing technique, and jumped into the courtyard to fight.
Kongming boxing is the world's softest boxing technique, so that there is no half of fireworks, the air is strong, with the virtual should be real, almost no energy, others do not know the end, but also think that there is no force. Just like the Tai Chi, it is slow and does not have the slightest power, but it is the supreme method of overcoming rigidity with softness.
Although both are soft and strong, they are not very different. Kongmingquan comes from the "Tao Te Ching", which takes the essence of the Tao, inability to create something, and emptiness can tolerate the reason, which is the extreme of softness; and Taijiquan comes from "Zhou Yi", which takes the principle of chaos and indistinguishability, yin and yang changes, and even softness and masculinity, rigidity and softness; as far as boxing theory is concerned, Kongmingquan is an indisputable fist, higher than Taijiquan. However, Taijiquan has already formed a systematic theory from low to high, everyone can practice Taijiquan, and there is a matching pure Yang Wuji internal strength, and there is a method of Taiji Gong to practice qi, the more you fight, the more you can last, so Tai Chi is better.
If you evaluate the grade of the exercises, Tai Chi is a peerless grade of internal boxing exercises, and the power of Kongming Boxing is not weaker than Tai Chi, but it can only be regarded as a peerless intermediate level of internal boxing. If Yue Buqun wants to make a name for Zhou Botong and make it no less than Zhang Sanfeng Zhenren, I am afraid that it will be a little difficult, but he must also make the Kongming Fist form a systematic theory from low to high, with emptiness and clarity, and use the empty to be strong, so that everyone can practice, and find back the original Quanzhen Sect's "Quanzhen Heart Method" that matches the Kongming Fist.
A long whistle suddenly sounded, the whistle was low at first, then clear and clear, and gradually the whistle became louder and louder, and its sound was pure yang and righteousness, making people silent for a while. Yue Buqun was surprised, the internal force of the whistling sound was very mellow, I was afraid that it was two points higher than his own master Duan Qingxuan, but it was from Xuan Zhenzi, who had just learned the internal strength of the heart method for only half a day.
When the whistling stopped, everyone rushed forward to inquire. It turns out that all Taoist priests usually chant scriptures every day to nourish qi, and when they practice boxing for a long time, they are born inside and outside, and there are already many true qi in the meridians in the body. It's just that he hasn't been guided by the inner strength, so he is hidden deep in the body and not visible, and he can't be used for it, but only to strengthen his body. After Xuan Zhenzi obtained the three qigong methods of Huashan, based on his own century-old enlightenment and enlightenment, he integrated these three mental methods into one and created a new qigong mental method. And with the new qigong method to promote his own internal force to run the whole body, break through the second pulse of Ren Du in one fell swoop, so that his own internal force entered the realm of Xiao Zhoutian circulation, and he also entered the realm of the top master as Yue Buqun said. Yue Buqun was surprised and delighted, and he was also greatly impressed by Xuan Zhenzi's talent, and he did not encounter a first-class martial arts obstacle to the peerless level, let alone an obstacle of physical decay, and broke through to become a peerless master in one fell swoop.
This Huashan School's Qigong Mind Method is originally from Wang Chongyang's "Quanxin Heart Method", which looks superficial and ordinary on the surface, but it is a very clever Taoist enlightenment method. The longer you practice, the deeper your skills become, the more you will be able to perceive the wonders of the mind. Even if you practice to the realm of peerless masters, you can't fully understand the wonder of the mental method, and it can be said that you can practice for a lifetime, and there is no bottleneck in the mystical mental method. Even if it is compared with the "Yijin Sutra", it is not the same, but the requirements for the mind, understanding and comprehension of the Tao are extremely high, otherwise it is extremely difficult to practice to the highest depths.
There are thousands of disciples of the Quanzhen Sect in the Divine Condor, and the seven sons of the second generation of Quanzhen are only small achievements with first-class skills; the third generation of disciples have poor temperament, and they have not yet achieved small successes, and they basically have first-class and low-grade skills. Among the four generations of disciples, there are at least hundreds of second-rate level disciples, and thousands of third-rate level disciples. At that time, it was even known as the world's martial arts were all true, and Shaolin and everything stood aside. Only Zhou Botong and Guo Jing, who are simple-minded and have good understanding, have practiced to perfection, but they have not really reached the state of perfection, and they are already difficult to find opponents in the world.
Later, Hao Datong established the Huashan faction, and the descendants were even more unbearable, and after Hao Datong Qigong was successful, he created the peerless inferior grade "Ziyang Gong" as the head of the secret heart method, and divided the "Quanxin Heart Method" into two, divided into the primary "Baoyuan Gong" and the advanced "Guiyuan Gong", to teach ordinary disciples. After two hundred years of changes, "Bao Yuan Gong" and "Gui Yuan Gong" have long been very different from the original "Quanxin Heart Law", and I don't know if there is any essence of the original one or two points. Later, the predecessors of the Sword Sect thought that although "Guiyuan Gong" was neutral and peaceful, it was too slow to enter the country, and the power was slightly weaker, so it was changed to the powerful "Mixed Yuan Gong". These two exercises have lost the essence of the Quanxin Heart Method, and although they are easier to practice than the original Quanxin Heart Fa and the time required is greatly reduced, they can no longer practice to the realm of the top masters. Yue Buqun didn't know how Xuan Zhenzi's real person fused the exercises compared to the "Whole Heart Method", and he was very much looking forward to it.
