Chapter 103: The Past Is Empty (2)

Hyacinth didn't answer this question, but asked, "Shen Shaoxia, have you heard of Qiu Han?"

"Nope. ...... Is this man's martial arts very powerful? Could it be ...... That's what they learned from him?"

"Hehe, Qiu Han is just a warlock, he doesn't know martial arts at all, besides, they are not the same era at all......!

Hyacinth chattered a few words, and then returned to the point: "The era in which Qiu Han lived was about the time of Zhenguan. It is rumored that he has insight into yin and yang, knows the heavenly opportunities, and is especially good at the art of Kanyu. He was invited to choose a site for the burial place and ancestral house of the Pei clan. In just a few decades, the Pei family has produced several prime ministers, more than a dozen generals, and hundreds of famous people!"

"Wow, it's amazing! It's really amazing!" Shen Lingxiao admired.

What's more, it is said that the ancestral house of the Pei family is the place where the true dragon knot is a thousand miles away, and the purple gas is thick all the year round, and within a few generations, the son of heaven will be born! This word finally reached the ears of the emperor, and he was jealous and afraid in his heart, and he was busy looking for an opportunity to dismiss the high-ranking officials of the Pei family, and in the name of repairing the plank road, he dug up the dragon vein of the Pei family's ancestral mountain. As soon as the dragon vein was broken, the Pei family's heavenly qi disappeared, and it could no longer pose a threat to Li Tang Jiangshan......"

"Qiu Han, who is a local friend of the Pei family, is naturally inseparable. Therefore, the emperor ordered that his portrait was posted in all states, towns, villages, villages, and land and water wharves in the Tang Dynasty, and a reward was offered for his arrest. The strange thing is that he has laid such a wide net, not only has he not been able to catch him, but he has not even been able to see a human figure!"

Naturally, the emperor was shocked by this situation, and there was a folk legend that Qiu Han was a god, and the emperor was panicked. After thinking about it repeatedly, the emperor finally decided that he still couldn't offend the gods, so he issued an edict to exempt Qiu Yanhan from the crime of trying to subvert Li Tang Jiangshan, and announced that he would enter the palace and intend to confer the title of official ......"

"Did Senior Qiu go?"

"Of course he went! The emperor is the son of heaven! The imperial power is naturally as great as the sky!" Who dares to disobey?" Hyacinth shook his head, "After he entered the palace, he first told the emperor that the Pei family had the spirit of a son of heaven, which was pure nonsense, but it was just his enemy's statement that he had framed him. The emperor reluctantly believed it, and temporarily eliminated the idea of secretly killing him. Then, he presented his three volumes of Yi Xueqi's book "Stealing the Heavenly Mystery", "The Book of Moving Mountains", and "The Book of Reclamation" - these three scriptures, known in the world as "The Jade Letter in the Forbidden", to the emperor,β€”β€” and explained his reasoning in detail. After reading it, the emperor was greatly impressed, named him a doctor, and lived in Beijing for a long time. - The name is happy, but in fact it is under house arrest......"

"For the book of his dedication, the emperor ordered the priest to make a gold and jade box, which was secretly hidden in the palace, and held the heavenly machine alone; and feared that his doctrine had been spread among the people, so he ordered the monks to forge a book of Kanyu that reversed the five elements of yin and yang and confused the art of stargazing, called "Jade Han Zhenjing", which was regarded as authentic and widely circulated in the world, in order to confuse the public......

When Shen Lingxiao heard this, he sighed greatly: "Senior, in this way, those three strange books have been lost...... Really?"

Hyacinth shook his head and said, "Not really. During the Tang Tianbao period, An Lushan and Shi Siming rebelled against the Tang Dynasty, and the world was in turmoil, which was known as the 'Anshi Rebellion'. Emperor Xuanzong could not resist the rebellion and fled in a hurry. At that time, there was an official named Yang Yun, who was the Guanglu doctor of the imperial court, who was in charge of the geography of Lingtai. Seeing the emperor fleeing, he didn't have time to take away the three volumes of the forbidden books he had coveted for a long time, so he opened the gold skull, stole the "Forbidden Jade Letter", and fled to the deep mountains of southern Jiangxi to live in seclusion and devote himself to research. After more than 20 years of painstaking study, and often verifying the doctrines in the scriptures, he eventually became a generation of masters who shook the past and the present......"

"In this way, Senior Yang is a disciple of Senior Naqiu!" Shen Lingxiao interjected.

"Almost!" Hyacinth smiled: "It is said that the content of the three scriptures written by Senior Qiu is very brief, just some theoretical things such as Heluo and Bagua, but the person who really combines the theoretical exposition of Feng Shui with specific practices and carries them forward is this Senior Yang." ...... He has written many works on Feng Shui, including "The Sutra of the Green Bag", "The Sutra of the Heavenly Jade", "The Sutra of the Doubtful Dragon", "The Sutra of Shaking the Dragon", "The Sutra of the Looking at the Dragon", "The Method of Inverting the Staff", etc., all of which have always been regarded as the patriarchs of Feng Shui......"

"Oh, I see...... Why didn't Senior Qiu write about the specific practices of Feng Shui?" Shen Lingxiao was curious, and secretly wondered: Could it be that he wants to hide his secrets and does not want to pass on the secret art to future generations?...... How can you spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain......

"I think it may be that he is unwilling to explain his doctrine to the emperor and the plate, so he refuses to write it!"

"Seniors, you tell the story of these two seniors, don't you ...... Is it related to the cultivation of the stunts of the predecessors of Qingwuzi and Yulongzi?" Shen Lingxiao had wanted to ask this question for a long time, and finally couldn't help but ask.

"Of course!"

"Seniors, juniors are puzzled: Qiu and Yang, the two seniors, are feng shui masters, and the books they write are naturally feng shui classics, what does it have to do with the martial arts of our Daomen?"

"Hehe, how can it not matter?" Hyacinth stroked the white beard under his beard, "Shen Shaoxia, do you know that the reason why 'Weeping Blood and Double Flying Cold' and 'Hidden Dragon Fantasy Sword' can be practiced is what they rely on......? As for how to understand the way of yin and yang gossip,

It's because I've read their writings!"

Shen Lingxiao bowed his head lightly, and suddenly remembered the "Qingcheng Secret Record", and what he couldn't understand was Heluo and Tai Chi gossip.

"Hey, it would be great if I could read the books of Qiu and Yang!" Shen Lingxiao sighed in his heart.

β€œ...... The Tao is connected, and all things are the same. Whether it is Feng Shui, Qimen, divination, or Daomen martial arts, they are all just the application of the true meaning of the Tao in their respective fields after they have gained insight into the true meaning of the Dao! Therefore, the "Forbidden Jade Letter" is an insight into the true meaning of the Tao and is applied to the martial arts of the Daomen. ”

"Senior, how did your faction get the Forbidden Jade Letter?" Shen Lingxiao asked.

"Speaking of which, it's a coincidence!" Hyacinth laughed. "Among the seventeenth generation of disciples of our sect, there was a senior with the Taoist name 'Tianxingzi', this person had excellent understanding, and he was the number one master in my Kongtong sect at that time. Because he was quiet and did not like mundane affairs, he refused to accept the fact that the head of the previous generation wanted to pass on to him, and he also had a preference, which was very fond of Feng Shui. Therefore, on weekdays, in addition to studying martial arts, he studies feng shui in the meditation room. ”

When he was sixty-seven years old, he suddenly heard Yang's name, and he liked it, so he rushed all the way to Gannan to worship Yang as his teacher. Yang saw that he was already in his twilight years, more than 20 years older than himself, how could he agree, but Tianxingzi refused to leave, waited for a year and a half, begged for a year and a half, Yang was finally moved by his sincerity, and agreed. ”

However, Yang refused to give him the "Forbidden Jade Letter". - This book, only a few of his close disciples have the qualifications and opportunities to be taught. ”

"Tianxingzi's predecessors were greatly disappointed, and at the same time, they were very dissatisfied. So he found an opportunity to secretly steal the "Forbidden Jade Letter". - He has excellent martial arts, and most of Yang Gong and his disciples don't know martial arts, so this is very easy for him to do. - Then, I found a secluded place, quickly transcribed it, and put it back again. ”

"Isn't the content of the Forbidden Jade Letter long?" Shen Lingxiao suddenly interjected and asked.

"Well, according to the records of our school's classics, there are only 13 pages, and the supreme internal strength method created by our school based on its contents, "Kongtong Jue", is only 19 pages......

"Such a coincidence?" Shen Lingxiao's heart moved, "The 'Qingcheng Secret Record' of my faction is also very short, only twenty-one pages. ...... Could it be that it is the same book as "Kongtong Jue?......"

β€œ...... Alas, it's a pity! What a pity! Now, the content of "Kongtong Jue" has not only been lost, but even the ancient book has ...... It's been stolen for a long time......"

"What? it's stolen?......" Shen Lingxiao was surprised, and wanted to ask why it was stolen again, but thinking that this was the secret of other sects, he couldn't help but be curious.

Hyacinth glanced at his expression, understood his thoughts, and said with a smile: "Shen Shaoxia, the reason why I didn't hide it from you is that I want to tell you. It's just, let's not talk about the details of this one thing for now, and I'll tell you later, how about it?"

"Senior, if it's inconvenient to tell you, don't talk about it!"

Hyacinth was noncommittal, and continued: "It is said that after Tianxingzi's predecessors copied the "Forbidden Jade Letter", he first secretly figured it out for more than half a year, but there was no progress. So, he asked Yang or his descendants one by one with questions that he couldn't understand. Because he was careful not to quote directly from the scriptures, no one doubted that he knew the scriptures. After another two years, I finally finished asking the mystery in my heart, and I thoroughly understood it, and I was naturally excited and inexplicable......"

Since he had completed his studies, he naturally refused to stay any longer, so he excused himself that the Kongtong faction had important matters and had to go back to deal with them, so he asked Yang for leave and returned to the mountain. Yang didn't care, so he naturally agreed. ”

After returning to the mountain, he refused to be idle, always looking for land near Kongtong Mountain, clamoring to relocate the remains of his predecessors to those treasures in his photo. At the beginning, the head of the family and the elders naturally refused to agree. But he counted them down, saying that the Kongtong faction has not produced any outstanding people for so many years, and it is precisely because he has not found a treasure for the remains of his predecessors that the younger generations cannot be blessed; now, he has worked hard to finally find a treasure for the Kongtong faction, which can make the Kongtong faction carry forward, and whoever stops it will be a sinner for the ages who hinders the development of the Kongtong faction......

After saying this repeatedly, the head of the sect and the elders could not resist it, and they refused to be what he called the 'sinner of the ages', so they had to agree. So according to the chosen place, the remains of several predecessors were relocated. After fulfilling his wish, Tianxingzi was very relieved, thinking that he could finally enter the earth with peace of mind......"

When he was in his last years, one day, he suddenly had an idea: Since "Forbidden Jade Letter" is the principle of all things in heaven and earth, it can naturally be used in martial arts. So, he dissolved it into the cultivation of the Inner Strength Mental Method, and what he didn't expect was that the effect was far beyond his imagination! After more than 50 years of hard practice, he couldn't get through, but he was able to do it easily in less than a month of cultivation! This made him ecstatic, and he almost suspected that he was ......in a dream."

"After further practice and refinement, in the following year, I finally created the prototype of our school's supreme internal strength method "Kongtong Jue". ”

"It's a pity that he hasn't been able to use this mastery to promote martial arts, and he hasn't even had time to find a suitable disciple to pass on the stunt, so he died...... When he was dying, he kept chanting: 'The sky is not a holiday, the day is not a year, the day is not a year'......"

Shen Lingxiao was gloomy.

- Of course he can understand Tianxingzi's mood at that time.

- There are many things in life, isn't that exactly what happened?

"Although the predecessors of Tianxingzi created the "Kongtong Jue", among the eighteenth generation disciples of my Kongtong faction, there are no candidates with very good qualifications, so no one has cultivated. ”

"Until the nineteenth generation of disciples, I sent two predecessors, Qingwuzi and Yulongzi, both of whom are martial arts wizards who are rare in a century, not only cultivating the "Kongtong Jue" mental method created by Tianxingzi's predecessors, and developing and perfecting it, but also creating their own unique mastery - 'Weeping Blood Double Flying Cold' and 'Hidden Dragon Phantom Sword', powerful martial arts ......."

Speaking of which, Hyacinth stared at Shen Lingxiao, stopped talking, sighed lightly, and turned his head sideways.

"Senior, do you have anything to ask the junior?" Shen Lingxiao asked tentatively.

Regarding Shen Lingxiao's carefulness and observation, Hyacinth looked appreciative, and said slowly: "Shen Shaoxia, I don't know your faction's "Qingcheng Secret Record" mental method, have you ever practiced it?"

Shen Lingxiao shook his head and sighed lightly, wondering in his heart, secretly speculating why he asked.

"Oh. For this reply, it was obviously expected by Hyacinth, "Shen Shaoxia, the "Qingcheng Secret Record", I don't know if you have ever read it?"

"Nope. Shen Lingxiao's expression was serious, pretending to be really similar, "The rules of my faction: only when you are the head of the sect, you are qualified to read and practice." ”

β€”β€”Being the supreme master of the Tibetan Qingcheng Sect, you naturally have to be cautious, and it is better not to be known.

Hyacinth bowed his head lightly and said, "I wanted to ask you: How many tricks are there in your faction's "Qingcheng Secret Record"?

"Oh, I know this!" Shen Lingxiao's mind was racing, and he suddenly smiled, "I once heard the master say: The internal strength of the "Qingcheng Secret Record" is divided into five tricks - the dragon search formula, the dragon chao formula, the dragon winding formula, the dragon protection formula, and the dragon determination formula. ”

- At that moment, he couldn't figure out why he would say the five tips of Qingcheng, and subconsciously, he wanted to say it in order to induce the other party to say the "Kongtong Jue".

"That's right!" Hyacinth smiled. "The reason why your master is willing to tell you seems that he has long been preparing to pass on the position of the head of the Qingcheng faction to you!"

"Maybe!" Shen Lingxiao was not polite.

This reason was the best explanation for him to know the five secrets of Qingcheng, and since Hyacinth had spoken it out for him, of course, it couldn't have been better, so he immediately admitted it.

"Regarding the name of the five tips of Qingcheng, to be honest, I actually know it. Hyacinth's face was solemn, "The "Kongtong Jue" of my faction is divided into six tricks - entering the ring, swimming the ring, crossing the ring, wandering the ring, ascending the ring, and descending the ring. In fact, it is similar to the five tips of Qingcheng of your school. The trick of entering the ring is the trick of finding the dragon, the trick of the ring is the trick of the dragon, the trick of the cross ring is the trick of winding the dragon, the trick of wandering the ring is the trick of protecting the dragon, and the trick of ascending the ring and descending the ring are the trick of fixing the dragon. ”

"Oh, so that's the case!" Regarding his words, Shen Lingxiao not only agreed with his mouth, but also basically believed it in his heart.

How can the sorrow and hatred of life be avoided, and what is the limit of ecstasy! The dream of the old country returns, and I feel that my tears are falling.

Who is on the high-rise building? The past is empty, and it is still like a dream.

β€”β€”Li Yu "Midnight Song"

- This poem depicts the mood of Hyacinth at this time.

β€”β€”Shen Lingxiao's mood, why is it not the same?
