Chapter 7: Adventures in the Barren Mountains

Let's talk about Ling'er fainting on the side of the road last time, and soon a Taoist chief came to the road, this Taoist chief is a childish face, fairy wind bones, long beard fluttering, and his right hand is holding a whisk and leaning on his shoulder. The Taoist chief stopped in front of Ling'er, then squatted down and grabbed Ling'er's wrist and looked at the pulse to show joy, and said to himself: "It's really strange, obviously passed out, and the pulse direction is still so strong." The Taoist chief then touched his head and arms from his feet to his arms, and pinched Ling'er's whole body. He also said to himself: "Wizard, really a martial arts wizard, I can't imagine that this can only be mentioned in books and theories about the conditions of martial arts training, but now I have met a real person, this is really a fate, otherwise it may bury this strange person, but I don't know what his wisdom is, if he can be intelligent and intelligent, it will be even more smallpox." Let's wake him up first. ’

The Taoist took out a small porcelain bottle from his bosom unhurriedly, poured out a red pill and put it into Ling'er's mouth, and took the water bag from his waist and fed him two sips of water, and Ling'er woke up after a while. Ling'er opened her eyes slightly and saw a white-bearded and white-haired Taoist chief, looking at her with a smile. I thought to myself, 'Am I alive or dead, how can I see a god?' Thinking of this, he pinched his thigh with his hand, probably too hard, and he groaned in pain. Seeing this, the Taoist chief smiled and said, "Son, why are you pinching your thighs?" Ling'er said embarrassedly, "I wonder if I'm dreaming." The Taoist chief smiled and said, "Of course you are not dreaming, how are you feeling now?" Ling'er felt it and said, "I feel good, I feel strong, I'm not so thirsty and hungry, and I don't feel too hot." The Taoist chief smiled and said: "Child, my pill is called Jiuzhuan Guben Pei Yuan Dan, my water is Qiong Jelly Jasper Liquid, you can eat one of my elixirs without eating for ten days, drink my two mouthfuls of immortal liquid tube for seven days without drinking water, not afraid of heat in summer, not afraid of cold in winter, but also can come back to life and prolong life, tattoo silver is not sold." Ling'er felt really not hungry, thirsty or hot at this time, so she hurriedly got up and knelt down and said excitedly: "So you old man is really a fairy, please save my parents, I am willing to do whatever I want." After speaking, he kowtowed again and again.

When the Taoist heard this, he said, "Son, what is the disease of your parents, maybe I can cure it, take me to see it." Ling'er cried, "Old immortal, my parents are not sick, they were killed by robbers and thieves, and now they are buried on the Black Pine Ridge. The Taoist chief was stunned when he heard this, and secretly said: "This kid really treats me as a god, how can a person who has been dead for a long time be saved, he blames himself for blowing it up, saying that he can bring the dead back to life, this is just a metaphor, but this kid is serious, what can I do." The Taoist chief said with a difficult face: "Child, poor Dao is not an immortal, just a Taoist priest who cultivates the Tao, I am talking about resurrection from the dead is the kind of person who is sick and dying, as long as you eat my pill, keep it and get better immediately, and the person who has been killed and died cannot be saved." After hearing this, Ling'er said: "There are no immortals in the world, this elixir can only be said to be a panacea, and it is all because of how many people save people's hearts to embarrass the Taoist." Ling'er stood up and said embarrassedly: "Please don't blame the old man, blame me for saving people's hearts, I am confused for saying such rude words, I want to thank you for saving my life, I don't know how to repay it, your elixir is a priceless treasure, I am afraid that I will not be able to pay it back in the next life, I am very ashamed." The Taoist chief comforted: "Don't be too sad, child, people can't be resurrected after death, the living must live strongly, as long as you can live well, your parents' spirits in heaven will also be at ease." Ling'er said: "What the old man said is reasonable, no matter how hard it is, it is good to live." Seeing that this child was not big, he was methodical, and he didn't look like an ordinary child. So he asked, 'Son, what are your plans for the future?' Ling'er said: "It is to live first, and then find a way to learn skills to avenge your parents." The Tao said: "Learn skills, do you want to learn literature or martial arts." Ling'er said firmly: "Of course you are learning martial arts, as the saying goes, you are useless and a scholar, and you can't even protect yourself if you have an empty stomach." He said, "How can you say that, son, because you have read a lot of books." Ling'er said: "My father is a Jinshi and the first, was appointed as a county commander, a life of honesty and integrity, but was killed by traitors and lost his office, and on the way home, he was killed by robbers but could not protect himself. The Taoist said, "Okay, I think you are a good material for learning martial arts, let's go to the shade of the tree over there and have a good talk." ’

The Taoist and Ling'er walked together to the shade of the tree, each finding a stone to sit on. The Taoist said: "Poor Dao is a wandering Taoist, walking in various famous mountains and rivers, only a few time to stay in a certain place, my Taoist number Qingfeng, what about you, child?" Ling'er said: "Under the nickname Ling'er, the big name Zhang Lingyu." Your old man walks the famous mountains and rivers, and you must have advanced martial arts to defend yourself, if you don't dislike you, you will accept me, a hard-working apprentice. When the Taoist heard this, his face was full of pride, and he smiled and said, "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, the poor Dao has this intention. Ling'er was very excited when she heard this, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the Taoist chief six times in a row, her head turned red, and she smiled and said, "Master Xiexie accepted Ling'er as an apprentice. The Taoist master stroked his beard and smiled: "Okay, okay, this apprentice of yours has accepted it for the teacher." Seeing that the spiritual brain melon seeds were red, the Taoist chief said distressedly: "This kid, why are you making so much effort, it hurts." Ling'er wiped her forehead with her sleeve and smiled: "It doesn't hurt." The Taoist chief smiled and said, "Silly boy, how can it not hurt when it is red and swollen." Ling'er, let's go find a place to settle down now. The Taoist chief pointed to the ridge and said, "From now on, there is a Taoist temple thirty miles ahead, which has long been abandoned and no Taoist priests live there, so we will settle there and teach you martial arts." When Ling'er heard that she was going to the other side of the ridge, she said with trepidations: "Master, that is where the thieves go." The Taoist chief smiled and said, "Ling'er don't be afraid, if you meet a teacher, she will avenge you, and if you don't meet them, you will solve it yourself when you finish your kung fu practice." Ling'er was relieved when she heard her master say this, and said in her heart: "Master must be a martial arts master." ’

This Qingfeng Dao Chang He is just a martial arts master, and for now, he may be invincible in the world, he is already a hundred years old and still has a childish face. His two apprentices are also famous in the rivers and lakes. He has so far in his life that Lian Ling'er has a total of three disciples, and he accepted a big disciple sixty years ago, who is now the famous Hongjiabao old castle master Qingfeng Jian Hongtao, who taught art for a year. Forty years ago, he accepted two disciples, and he is now the leader of the martial arts league, Sima Jianxiong, who has been teaching art for half a year. Qingfeng Dao Chang is very picky, not only to be handsome and upright, but more importantly, to practice martial arts with excellent bones and intelligent minds, but also to have a God-given fate. He is very proficient in Mai's appearance, otherwise accepting a villain with bad intentions will not only cause trouble, but also harm himself. He accepts disciples for refinement, not for more, and never accepts them if he can't meet a suitable one. He met Ling'er this time, which is a wonderful talent that he has never encountered, such as a treasure, how can he not be happy.

Qingfeng Dao Chang stretched out his hand to pick up Ling'er and said, "Take you for a ride." Ling'er saw that the trees were moving backwards quickly, and he quickly closed his eyes, and he didn't know how long it took, and he felt that since he was standing on the ground, he heard the master say, "Ling'er has arrived, are you still sleeping?" Ling'er opened her eyes and saw a dilapidated Taoist temple in front of her, and said, "Is Master here?" Qingfeng said: "Yes, let's go in and have a look." After saying that, the master and apprentice walked in, and stopped looking for a room that could shelter from the wind and rain. Qingfeng Dao said, "Ling'er, you clean up this house, and we'll stay here first." Ling'er agreed and was busy cleaning up, and Qingfeng Dao Chang went outside. Ling'er threw a mess of useless things outside, leaving only a bed and two stools in the room, as well as two futon straw mats. Ling'er went to the bamboo forest outside to find some bamboo branches, swept the house clean, sweated profusely, and looked dirty, so he sat down and rested. Qingfeng Dao Chang walked around the Taoist temple and came back, seeing that the house had been cleaned and the dust had been quiet, but Ling'er was discouraged. Qingfeng Dao Chang smiled with satisfaction: "Very good, Ling'er, you go to the stream east of Guandong and wash your face." Ling'er said, "Haode, I'll go." Then he ran out. Ling'er ran to the stream and saw that his body was not clean, so he took off his clothes and washed them from head to toe, and his clothes were also washed, but there were many scratches, and the wounds on his body were already a little painful.

Ling'er quickly returned to the temple and came to Qingfeng Dao Chang, Qingfeng Dao Chang said: "Ling'er, you move the stool over and sit down, and the teacher has something to say to you." Ling'er moved the stool over and sat down to wait for the master to teach. Qingfeng Dao said: "Ling'er, you said that you have desecrated a lot of books, how did you read them at a young age. Ling'er said: "If you are not satisfied with the master, I can write it down after reading the book once." Qingfeng Dao Chang was even more pleasantly surprised: "Ling'er, you have the ability to never forget, it's really good, you will definitely be able to become a great weapon." Ling'er said, "I hope that the master will give me more guidance." Qingfeng Dao said: "Ling'er, although I accept you as an apprentice, but I can't take you as a professor for a long time, your sight has helped you a lot, and the teacher only gives you seven days, and then you will rely on your own practice and understanding, because the teacher knows that you are a martial arts wizard, as long as you can listen to my professor's hard work, you will definitely succeed."

After speaking, Daoist Qingfeng took out a book from his bosom and said to Ling'er: "Ling'er, you write down the contents of this book first, and I'll see how much time you will take." Ling'er answered and took the book, moved it to the side, and looked at the book from the beginning. Qingfeng Dao went to the futon over there, sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and recuperated.

This book is actually a profound martial arts secret book, which is written by Qingfeng Daoist all his life, called "Nine Heavens Wuji Divine Skill". It is divided into three parts, the first part is the basic practice of "Nine Heavens Wuji Divine Gong", that is, the internal strength of the Nine Heavens Wuji, which is divided into nine yin and nine yang exercises, when the first practice is practiced during the day, and the nine yin exercises are practiced at night. After Xiaocheng, you can practice day and night, and the improvement of your skills will be faster. If it is combined with the Nine Heavens Infinite Yin and Yang Palm in the second part, and the Nine Heavens Infinite Ethereal Sword Technique in the third part, it will be able to improve by leaps and bounds. The Nine Heavens Infinite Yin and Yang Palm, the Yin Palm is the most feminine and soft, the Yang Palm is fierce and invincible, the moves are ingenious, and the footwork is exquisite comparable to Ling Bo's micro-step; Qingfeng Dao Master spent his whole life studying, until three years ago, he was done, after success, he wanted to find a successor, but he never met a suitable one, until today, he met a suitable one, better than he imagined, his other two disciples didn't know that there was this Nine Heavens Infinite Divine Skill.

It was getting dark, and Qingfeng said, "Ling'er, how much have you seen. Ling'er said, "Master, the disciple has already read the first two parts. Qingfeng Dao said, "Have you written it down?" Ling'er said, "Master, the disciples have written it down." Qingfeng Dao said: "Very good, I will teach you the first step of internal strength tonight, now you start from the beginning, I will explain it to you." So Ling'er started from the beginning, Qingfeng Dao explained in detail, Ling'er said a mantra, Qingfeng Dao explained, while explaining while teaching him the method of sitting breathing, the way of qi luck. Qi can go at will, the intention is to urge the qi to go, the qi is strange through the eight veins, the twelve meridians, the two veins of Rendu, and zuihou are all attributed to the dantian; and then travel from the dantian for a week and then return to the dantian for a week, about half an hour. Qingfeng Dao Chang also talked about the eight strange meridians, twelve meridians, and meridians on the human body, as well as the connection between the meridians and the walking route of qi and blood, as well as the work of the qi of the camp and the guard, the camp qi travels in the veins, the guard qi travels outside the veins, and the meridians and blood make the qi of the camp and the guard dense all over the body. He also talked about the acupoints of the body, the acupuncture points of the human body have 14 meridian acupoints, strange acupoints, 14 meridian acupoints are the acupuncture points on the line of the 12 meridians and the second meridian of Rendu, and the strange acupoints are the strange acupoints outside the meridians. On the Ren pulse line, there is a dantian acupoint in the lower part of the lower abdomen, also known as Guan Yuan acupoint, which is the place where Guan Zang's vitality essence is located. Using the Nine Heavens Wuji Divine Skill method of guiding qi and guiding blood, more vitality essence can be deposited in the dantian as soon as possible, and depositing a point of vitality essence is a point of internal strength.

After Qingfeng Dao Chang finished explaining, he said, "Today we will learn the first part, do you understand what you just said?" Ling'er said: "I understand." Qingfeng said long: "Okay, I'll teach you to practice now, you go to the bed and sit cross-legged, I'll help you." Ling'er responded to the sound and sat down cross-legged on the bed, Qingfeng Dao Chang sat down cross-legged behind Ling'er, he stretched out his right palm against Ling'er's back to supervise the pulse of the Shendao acupoint to transport a stream of true qi to Ling'er's body. He said to Ling'er: 'You close your eyes and breathe according to the Qi method of the Nine Yin Gong Method on the Inner Gong Heart Method, and I will help you guide you with luck.' Ling'er agreed and did so, and before she knew it, she fell asleep, but she still sat and practiced in her sleep, but there was silence around her. Ling'er relied on his innate bones and extraordinary wisdom, coupled with the help of the Qingfeng Dao Master, and quickly entered the realm of practice. Ling'er felt that there was a flow of air flowing around her body, zuihou returned to the dantian, and after returning to the dantian, it flowed everywhere, so coming and going, feeling that the dantian was cool and comfortable. In this way, the Qingfeng Dao Elder helped Ling'er practice all night, in fact, the Qingfeng Dao Elder was also asleep, but his right palm did not leave Ling'er's Shinto acupoint.

The next morning, Daoist Qingfeng woke up and took his palm back and said, "Ling'er wake up. When Ling'er heard Master call him in his sleep, he immediately woke up and said, 'Master, you call me. Qingfeng said, "Yes, how do you sleep at night." Ling'er blinked her eyes and said, "Very good, Master, I have been practicing in my dreams all night. Qingfeng said: "If you want this effect, you will have to practice like this every night in the future, now you take a rest, and I will help you practice Jiuyang Gong when the sun comes out soon." After saying that, the Qingfeng Dao Leader walked out and disappeared into the woods outside. Ling'er sat there and thought about a few diagrams on the internal strength of the mind, which indicated the direction of each meridian and the location of each acupuncture point, and looked for each acupuncture point on her body to compare.

The eastern sky is full of morning glow, a round of red sun shows a smiling face, and a new day begins. Qingfeng Dao Chang turned back to the house, Ling'er was unconscious, and he was still looking for his acupuncture points there. Qingfeng Dao said, "Ling'er, come here, and I'll give you another pill today." As he spoke, he took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms, and Ling'er saw that the master was about to take the elixir for himself to eat, so he hurriedly said, "Master, this elixir is too valuable, I don't think it's better to eat it." Qingfeng Dao Chang smiled and said: "Silly boy, you are afraid that you can't afford to pay it back, you are still embarrassed, my Nine Heavens Wuji Divine Skill is the lifelong blood of the teacher, and I can't buy ten thousand taels of gold, and now that the teacher has passed it on to you, I still care about these few little pills." Then he poured out a grain and said, "Come, eat it, and drink another jasper liquid." Ling'er knew that this was the great grace of the master, and it was not good to postpone it any longer, so she stepped forward to eat the pill and drink the jasper liquid, feeling cool and mellow, with an endless aftertaste, and suddenly felt refreshed and energetic.

After Qingfeng Daoist gave Ling'er the pill jasper liquid, the two sat on the futon, and Qingfeng Daoist used his right palm against Ling'er's Shinto acupoint behind Ling'er, and said: "We will start practicing Jiuyang Gong now, you will use Jiuyang Gong's mental method to breathe, and look at a little with your eyes level, so that you can see far and fast when you practice, and when you practice kung fu, you can see people's very slow movements." After saying that, the two of them began to practice their luck, and they practiced until the evening before resting.
