There are two pavilions on both sides of the main hall hall of the Hui Palace, the east pavilion is the bedroom, and the west pavilion is the study. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

At this moment, Chris is sitting in the study of the West Pavilion "working hard", or "in a daze". There are two large lacquered wooden boxes in front of her, one is inlaid with ink and lacquer with colorful snails and the other is written "Heavenly Pavilion", and the other wooden tire lacquer box is written "Underground Pavilion", which is what Xiong Daiying brought back to the palace from "Listening to the Rain Pavilion".

Chris looked at the craftsmanship of these two boxes, which are the best in the world, and thought that they would be handed down to modern times and must be heirloom cultural relics.

One black and one yellow represent the yellow of heaven and earth, and the box of the Heaven and Earth Pavilion is full of books, more precisely, "intelligence". In the Heavenly Pavilion is the "Hundred Officials' Guide", which covers all the princely officials in the imperial court personality, political achievements, evaluation, promotion, factional relations, and other aspects of information......; There is even a "Hundred Guides of the Lines" that introduces famous prostitutes, listen to Zhang Ruoshui's meaning, these information are bought from the "Listening to the Rain Pavilion" for a lot of money, and new content will be compiled every year. Chris thought to himself: It seems that Gao Taotao has the most comprehensive information through these booklets, so as to turn his hands into clouds and turn his hands into rain.

She opened the booklet of Tiange, and the first character in "A Guide to Hundred Officials" turned out to be the current Empress Dowager, that is, "herself" aunt. After reading it, I realized that she went from the queen to the queen mother, and now the queen mother, through three dynasties. She was almost deposed but was able to protect herself, which shows that she is cautious and good at dealing with herself; Renzong died, and Empress Cao supported Yingzong and established a new monarch, which shows that she is very political.

It's just that the information of the Heaven and Earth Pavilion is too unfamiliar to Chris, and the information is so complex that just distinguishing people's names is already unbearable for her. Hey, there's so much more, when is it a head, she threw down the booklet.

Chris looked around, and behind the soft chair she was sitting was a desk with the four treasures of the study and a vase with three white magnolia flowers in it. Magnolia flowers have no variegation, like a heroine immersed in thoughts, which makes people feel admired. Behind the desk hangs a picture of a "Pavilion of Waves Sweeping and Sinking", in which the waves seem to be about to drown over a pavilion on a mountain cliff, but in the water, a sailboat is almost upright by the waves, and the people on board are still struggling with the huge waves. The painting reminded Chris of his first desperate voyage, and he could even feel the cold sea breeze on his skin. This room is dignified and spacious, and you can taste the surging heart everywhere, but it is really very similar to yourself, and it is a tide maker who wants to compete with heaven and earth and is not willing to be lonely.

Chris remembered the personal shadow guard named Xiong Daiying again.

The summer afternoon sun was so strong that even in such bright light, she couldn't find anyone. With his arms resting on the armrests of the soft chair and his cheeks propped up, Chris stared at a point in the room. It wasn't that she had discovered the Shadow Guard, she just needed a place to look.

Chris asked in a calm voice, "Dai Ying?"

In the empty room, no one answered for a long time.

Chris felt like this man must be in this room. You say that a man of such a size, how can his body be hidden and invisible?

"Are you there?"

Silent.

Chris pouted: It doesn't seem to have a chat function.

"Dai Ying, I command you to answer!"

"The villain is here!"

Sure enough, the instructions were useful. The voice floated out of nowhere, and Chris looked around but still couldn't find where Shadow Guard was hiding.

"The villain is a bad person, just call you and me in private. ”

"No. ”

"You have to keep an eye on me from morning till night?"

"Yes. ”

"Then when I take a shower, sleep, and go out of courtesy, do you also want to watch it?" Although a little embarrassed, Chris felt that this must be asked.

After a long silence, I finally heard a deep voice and replied awkwardly: "At that time, there was a phantom on duty, and she was a woman......"

It turned out that there was more than one shadow guard.

"Are you thirsty? If you don't mind, come out and pour yourself a drink. ”

Chris pointed to the small table next to the soft chair, on which there was a Tang color glazed jar with ice cubes and iced herbal tea, and three three-color carved glass cups next to it.

"No, I'm not thirsty. ”

Chris's lips pursed into a straight line, and the ends were deliberately slightly raised, and said, "If you suddenly want to pee when you are on duty, don't you leave, then how to solve it?"

There was no movement for a while, and it seemed that the shadow guard remained silent, because he would not open his mouth easily unless he had to say something, and he would not easily show himself if it were not for the crisis of his master.

Chris finally gave up trying to make small talk with the shadow guard and lay back in the soft chair with his eyes closed. After lying down for a while, he felt bored and shouted: "Ruoshui, when are you coming, teach me a few martial arts!"

Zhang Ruoshui seemed to hear her summons, standing outside the door at this time, knocking softly.

"Minister Zhang Ruoshui asked to see. ”

"Come on in. Chris replied as soon as he heard the voice, and when Zhang Ruoshui approached, Chris looked at him puzzled: "Didn't you say it, let you go in and out of me at will, why do you have to report it again?"

Zhang Ruoshui said with a smile: "This is an extraordinary time now, and it is time for Baoci Palace to restore its proper order." ”

That night, she slept soundly, completely unaware that someone had visited her dormitory at night. It wasn't until the next morning, when she looked up and saw a few rays of light coming down from the patio, that she realized that someone had made a hole in the shelter in the beams. Although the cave was quickly repaired, everyone in the Baoci Palace was like a great enemy, and Lan Yuanzhen and Zhang Ruoshui acted very differently than usual.

Chris pouted in displeasure, "I hate these rules. ”

"I know, but there are no rules, and superficial articles have to be done. Although the apse is not allowed to enter and exit at will, there will always be more people to serve in the future, and it is inevitable that the subordinates will walk back and forth, at least I have to set an example for Xing Yun and them. ”

"It's not just going through the motions. Chris retorted.

Zhang Ruoshui just smiled and said: "By the way, now the master likes to run outside the palace, and there is more time to use money, so we discussed it with Lord Lan and prepared to create a "Five Buddha Order". One represents the identity of the master, and seeing the token is like seeing the master; the second is that the master holds the token and can spend the money at any time in all the ticket number shops under the gold and silver hall. In addition, in order to show the "five Buddhas in one", the whole piece of high-quality jade is used as the base, and then inlaid with black gold, silver, copper, and iron.

Hearing this, Chris was secretly happy in his heart, haha, isn't his "Five Buddha Order" just a "black card" with no overdraft limit in modern times, wonderful!

"Hehe, just do as you say. ”

"Okay, I'll do it. Zhang Ruoshui stood up and wanted to leave, but suddenly, he turned around and saw that the hem of his placket was tightly held in someone's hand again.

"When will you teach me kung fu, don't talk doesn't count. ”

Now, the Baoci Palace has set up an iron bucket array, and all the guards and shadow guards have been on alert, for the sake of prudence, even the chief shadow guard Shi Ying, who is far away at the border pass, has been recalled to Beijing by Lan Yuanzhen, and he will return soon. Under his nose, there are still people who can sneak into the queen mother's bedroom, needless to say, it is a huge impact on Zhang Ruoshui, who arranges the work of the guard. That night, the infiltrator apparently peeked at the master in the dark for a long time, although he was aware of it, but he could not find it in time, and finally he disappeared into the night like a mist, it can be seen that his martial arts have been like a ghost, but since he entered the room, it was not against the master, and his purpose was unpredictable. Right now, Zhang Ruoshui really felt that it was very beneficial to teach his master some talisman skills, so he nodded and said, "Teach it now, how about it?"

The West Pavilion immediately became a practice room.

Zhang Ruoshui took two futons and put them on the ground, he sat cross-legged on them first, and Chris sat down when he saw this.

This is not the first time Chris has learned martial arts, and the days of learning mixed martial arts with Mark have made her quickly enter the role she is used to - apprentice.

That humble and knowledge-seeking attitude is easy to impress, Zhang Ruoshui nodded appreciatively, and said: "If you don't practice martial arts, you will be empty when you get old." Weichen thought that if the master wanted to practice this kung fu, he should start from the internal strength. ”

Chris nodded, blinking wide-eyed, as earnestly as a student listening.

Seeing that Chris did not object, Zhang Ruoshui continued: "I mentioned to the master last time that Weichen was taught by the Dongling Sect, and the ancestor of this kung fu is called Kang Cangzi, and the Taoist name is Dongxuan Zhenren, who is a disciple of the Taishang Dao Ancestor Laozi. This master wrote a strange book called "Dongxuan Zhenjing". When he was writing the book, because he often meditated and meditated, in order to move his body, he created his own exercises, called Xiaodongtian Secret Technique. ”

Chris wondered, "What is a small cave?"

"The blessed land of the cave is the immortal mountain on the earth, reaching the heavens, through the mountains, since ancient times, there are 'ten major caves, thirty-six small caves', and the people who cultivate the Tao build palaces and stand in these immortal mountains. ”

Chris knew little about these philosophical concepts of Taoism, and when she was in China, a friend had taken her to climb some famous mountains, and she had seen the Taoist priests on the mountains, but she only knew that they were a group of people who lived in isolation and slept in the open air, they cultivated their physique, and they could fly on the wall, and Chris felt that they were very similar to the "ascetics" in the West. In fact, the two are fundamentally different.

"Kang Cangzi's predecessors were originally trying to keep fit. How do you know that this exercise is infinitely mysterious, as if it reaches the thirty-six small caves of heaven, all those who have practiced can improve their martial arts.

Chris looked envious and said secretly: This old Taoist just wants to move his body, and he has created such a miracle, which is really amazing.

Zhang Ruoshui couldn't help but smile slightly when he saw Chris's expression: "This skill is divided into six layers. ”

"Six floors. Chris beat the drum in his heart, the Chinese really like the number "6", but in the West this is the most evil synonym, the mark of the devil. ”

Zhang Ruoshui brought the essence of the six layers of the mind one by one, and said: "The martial arts of this sect take the 'Little Cave Heaven Secret Technique' as the introductory heart method, these six layers go from shallow to deep, and the six six and thirty-six small caves can help you build a foundation and practice qi." This is the foundation of this school, after learning to practice the subtle internal strength of this school, Taoist martial arts are all about accumulating internal strength, if you can practice diligently, the internal force is thick, one day you can feather and ascend to immortal. ”

After hearing this, Chris asked even more excitedly, "Oh? Then what other exquisite martial arts does our Cave Spirit Sect have?"

"The ancestor of this school, He Changyi, was a master of the Tao at the end of the Tang Dynasty and the fifth generation, he refined the channel method, especially good at "locking the nose and flying the essence", when Mr. Xiyi went to Qiongzhou Tianqingguan to learn this technique from his old man. After completing his studies, Mr. Xiyi lived in Huashan in the north, and his disciple Chen Tafa created the northern sect of the Xuanzhen faction - Huashan faction, which has a deep relationship with this faction. ”

Chris remembered that when he rescued Princess Fukang that day, Liang Huaiji had mentioned the "Nose Lock Flying Sperm Technique", Chris thought that this was a method of holding his breath, but he didn't know that this was the most profound Taoist method of breathing and absorbing the heart, and it was a kind of fetal breath gong of refining qi yin and yang.

"The second generation of the master Zixiao real person Tan Qiao, his book "The Book of Transformation" contains the practice method of the school's peerless "Phantom Soul Mind Method", you have practiced the 'Qi', and then you can learn this virtual transformation and turning technique. Zhang Ruoshui paused and said, "Another peerless sect of this sect is the 'Yuhan Divine Skill'. ”

This Yuhan Divine Skill was created by the third generation of cave spirit master Zun Helan Qizhen in the early Northern Song Dynasty, and the tricks are surprisingly complex, but they complement each other with the Phantom Spirit Method, but Zhang Ruoshui is a little worried about whether the master is willing to work hard to learn.

Chris listened to Zhang Ruoshui talk about these exquisite martial arts like listening to a book from heaven, and she thought beautifully in her heart, if she practiced everything, would she be able to defeat her little uncle when she went back?

Seeing her expression, she knew what she was thinking, Zhang Ruoshui said with a straight face: "Practicing internal strength is the most taboo and impetuous, so ambitious, and when the foundation is laid, you can get twice the result with half the effort." ”

Chris immediately put away his thoughts and nodded.

"I'm going to teach you the first layer of exercises now. As he spoke, Zhang Ruoshui sat in a lotus pose, palms up, and hands on his knees.

When Chris saw it, he quickly followed Zhang Ruoshui's example and sat cross-legged on the futon.

"Straight back!"

Chris immediately sat up straight.

"Roll up your tongue against your upper teeth, breathe through your nose first, and then try your luck to sink. ”

Chris tried to do the same – using his abdomen to exhale and inhale.

Back then, it was Chris who took the initiative to ask her uncle to teach her mixed martial arts, boxing, Muay Thai, sambo, taekwondo, aikido, extreme vacuum karate, kickboxing, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu...... Mark is a big fan of Jeet Kune Do, saying that it was Bruce Lee who made the world realize that martial arts need to be learned, and that if the Gracie family (2) created MMA, then Bruce Lee is the soul of mixed martial arts.

Every time he learns a new skill, Chris is like a greedy spongeBob SquarePants, training at least five hours a day and working harder than usual. She is thirteen years old, and judging by her age, she is the most suitable for learning martial arts. At first, she was soft and petite, but with full training, she improved quickly and became agile. In addition, the physical progress is terrifying. Each bone grew rapidly, she became tall and agile, and every muscle became strong and strong under careful exercise. For the changes in Chris's body, in addition to herself, she was most surprised by her mother, who was full of emotion when she watched her daughter grow stronger and taller like a man, but in the end she accepted this fact indifferently. And Chris is not satisfied with this, she has an unshakable faith. After that, she spent a lot of money to find special forces instructors, experienced mercenaries in the field, and received training from various masters who were proficient in firearms and firearms. Chris replied with a smile, "I'm learning from BruceLee, learning from others!"

At the moment, Chris feels that the breathing method taught to her by Zhang Ruoshui is very similar to the "meditation" of yoga, she has tried, but has never mastered the trick, she does not think that she can practice "internal strength" by "meditation".

When her mind wandered around, she was reprimanded by Zhang Ruoshui again, "You need to be distracted and concentrate on practice." ”

Chris's "breathing" process lasted for a quarter of an hour, and her breathing gradually became smooth and stable, but she still couldn't understand the so-called "qigong and internal strength".

Zhang Ruoshui knew her confusion, smiled slightly, and said loudly: "The beast of the passenger car leaves the mountain and recklessly controls it; Therefore, birds and beasts want to live high, and fish and turtles want to live deep. The man who is born in his form is not tired of being deep and faint. The technique of this sect of Inner Dan cannot be glimpsed by others, and the reason is the effect of this 'Tibetan Gong'. ”

"What is that?"

Zhang Ruoshui rolled up his sleeves, revealing his strong forearms, "Touch it." ”

When Chris touched the well-textured forearm with his hand, he unexpectedly found the flexibility of the muscles, and remembered that the last time Zhang Ruoshui rescued her, he vaguely felt like he had touched an iron block.

Zhang Ruoshui was slightly lucky, and the coldness of the tentacles made Chris let out an exclamation of "ah". It was as if a snake crawled slowly down from the big sleeve of the upper arm and climbed to the forearm. She looked at it again, and under the skin, there were indeed small snakes curled, and the forearms became as hard as steel. Her eyes widened, yes, that was Zhang Ruoshuiyun's "qi".

Zhang Ruoshui breathed again, and the "qi" entrenched in the forearm seemed to drill back under the muscles and went to a deeper place, and the muscles of the arm became flexible again.

"This is Tibetan Gong, Qi is already in everyone's body, but it needs to be trained to be able to use it freely. ”

Now Chris has an intuitive understanding. She had touched it herself, and she knew that the muscles were extraordinary. All the modern martial arts she is familiar with are just external training of muscles and bones, strengthening muscles, how can they be compared with "muscles under the protection of internal force", the two hand-to-hand combat is not an egg hitting a stone.

Zhang Ruoshui asked her to let go of her arm, and then luck again. It's just that this time is different from before, Zhang Ruoshui's breathing became heavy and low, and the inhalation sound was like a strong wind whistling and blowing, and like a giant whale entering a deep trench. Zhang Ruoshui's shoulders rose and fell silently with his breathing, gathering the breath in his body, everything was flat, the strong wind stopped suddenly, the giant whale probed the bottom, Chris saw clearly, his breath was by no means the breath of ordinary people. She couldn't help but raise her hand and put her fingers under the wing of his nose, without a trace of heat, and no matter how much she touched his chest and neck, there was no slight tremor caused by breathing.

He's not breathing, no, he's breathing in a special way.

Then, Zhang Ruoshui let out a long breath, and Chris felt like something had been squeezed out of his body. Gradually, everything recovered, and he breathed like a normal person again.

"This is the 'Nose Locking Sperm Technique'. Zhang Ruoshui said to her, "It is clear in "Hug Puzi and Release Stagnation" that 'those who have fetal breath can not breathe with their mouths and noses, such as in twins.'" ’”

After seeing the miraculous fetal breath work, Chris sat back on the futon in a proper position, and the depths of his eyes were full of shining stars, she must learn.

Then, Zhang Ruoshui taught Chris the first layer of the secret technique of the Little Cave Heaven, and explained the method of exercising and the acupoints that need to be run.

Chris was naturally confused and ignorant. Zhang Ruoshui knew that she didn't understand acupuncture points, so he asked Xing Yun to take a picture of acupuncture points and explained it to her in detail.

It is rare to have a real master explaining in front of her, and she listens attentively.

She didn't know that the ancient Danjing was particularly rare, even if it was popular in the Song Dynasty for engraving and printing, but most of the martial arts cheats were handwritten copies, and it was not easy to spread the books extensively. However, those advanced exercises and Danjing secret books only record mantras, either they are briefly recorded and do not speak of reason, or they are hidden and vague, hiding their heads and tails. The essence of it must be passed on by the master and apprentice by word of mouth, and if there is no true master to break it, it is impossible to get the true transmission.

When he finally learned the mental formula, Chris asked expectantly, "How long will it take me to practice this first layer to pass?"

Zhang Ruoshui replied: "With the foundation of the master, I'm afraid it will take half a year to learn to gather the breath in the body." ”

She turned her head mischievously and asked, "Then how long did you practice this first layer of exercises back then?"

Zhang Ruoshui touched his chin and replied: "I practiced hard back then, but it took me a month to achieve a small success. ”

Chris looked at Zhang Ruoshui, who was slightly colored on his face, and smiled secretly in his heart: Look at you proudly, don't pull your chin, you won't be able to grow a beard no matter how you pull it!
