Chapter 66: The Xuanwu List of Martial Artists in the World
"Sima Canglong, the missing Taishi of this dynasty!"
"Isn't the number one master in the DPRK Pudu Cihang?"
"The Holy Master has not participated in the temple examination of the Xuanwu Palace. Although the emperor had persuaded him to participate, he refused on the grounds that people outside the party did not have the ambition to compete. ”
"Who are the second to tenth places on the list?"
"The second is to guard the northern Xinjiang and control Yang Shichang, a first-class hussar general in the three theaters of Hebei Province, Hedong Province and Guannei Province. The third is Yiyang City Lord Jiang Yunhe, who is also the current purple-clothed sect leader of the Martial Sect Society, who has been re-elected for three consecutive terms, and it is estimated that he will continue to be elected this year. The fourth is the governor of Yunzhou Prefecture, known as Lu Zechuan of "Yunzhou Lu Bu". The fifth is Li Cunxu, the general of the "pigeon guard" Southern Guard. ”
"The martial arts of these five people can be said to be shocking, especially the Taishi Sima Canglong, whose martial arts are even more unpredictable, and they have always been the sole leader in the palace test of the Xuanwu Palace. ”
Duan Qianqiu nodded and said, "Yes, even I, a person far away from the rivers and lakes, have heard of his name. ”
The sixth is Zhuo Rong, the "bloody hand" far away in the southwestern border, and he is also the only warrior who did not serve in the court but was in the top ten list. The seventh is Ren Chongqian, the general of the Northern Guard. The eighth is the commander of the embroidered clothes and guards, Zhou Dunyu. The ninth is the Jiannan Provincial Army, and the second-grade auxiliary general Han Baohu. The tenth is Yang Yan, who has been serving as a civilian, and has only been on the list in the past three years. ”
"The Xuanwu list is not fixed, it will be re-tested every three years and the ranking will be updated, and this year is also the time for the triennial list of the Xuanwu list to be updated, when the world's martial artists will gather in the capital to compete for the ranking on the list. If you are lucky enough to be on the list, you will be reused by the imperial court, and your life's fortune will also change. ”
"Why can't there be any masters of Cai Xun's Mansion on the list?"
Lu Bangyan said: "Cai Xiangtui said that the people in the house are just generals who guard the house and protect the hospital, and they do not have the strength to be on the list, so they prohibit all the masters in the house from participating in the palace test. Otherwise, with the strength of the masters in his house, he is very hopeful of occupying a place in the list. ”
"He knows how to be obscure!" Duan Qianqiu said sarcastically.
"In fact, with Brother Duan's martial arts talents, he should also go to the palace to try to rush to the list, if he can squeeze into the top ten, it is a matter of course to be crowned a general. ”
"Now that I've even lost the internal skills I've been practicing hard for many years, how can I still be qualified to fight with others!" Duan Qianqiu smiled bitterly.
Lu Bangyan saw that it aroused his sadness, so he didn't persuade him anymore.
Instead, Duan Qianqiu asked him, "Brother Lu, what is your ranking in the list?"
Lu Bangyan laughed and said: "I, the golden mean, is exactly in the fifty." ”
"Brother Lu's martial arts talents are all excellent, and it is not easy to rank in the middle of the world's martial arts list. ”
"Brother Duan doesn't have to comfort me, I know how many catties and taels I have, if it weren't for the sake of fighting for a general promotion, I'm afraid I wouldn't have rushed to this Xuanwu list. The danger in the meantime can be described as walking on the edge of the cliff with his head carried on his head. ”
Duan Qianqiu thought of something again at this time, so he asked Lu Bangyan: "Before getting into the car, when Brother Lu talked about Xuanjian Zhai, he looked like he wanted to talk and stopped, is there anything unspeakable?"
Lu Bangyan said with a headache: "Xuanjian Zhai's master Xiao Daocheng is ranked eleventh in the Xuanwu list, and he is the closest person to the top ten masters, as long as he goes further, he can be among the super-first-class masters, and he has a chance to win the election of the purple-clothed master sect, so his heart is very high." Most of the disciples of Xuanjian Zhai under him also followed his personality, arrogant, tyrannical and lawless, and had a lot of bad deeds of fighting and bullying people, but under the protection of Yang Yuxing, the king of Yue, and Han Baohu, the general of the auxiliary state of Jiannan Province, they were able to avoid sanctions. So, Brother Duan, you have to be mentally prepared, they will retaliate against you at any time. ”
Duan Qianqiu recalled the misunderstanding that he had just broken into the gym by mistake, and the scene where he later hit their third senior brother hard, and thought that this grudge could not be eliminated, and he couldn't help but feel a little gloomy.
The two talked all the way, and it took a long time before they returned to Lu Bangyan's mansion.
Because Duan Qianqiu did not have a residence in Yehuang City, he temporarily lived in Lu Mansion that night.
Duan Qianqiu declined Lu Bangyan's invitation to the banquet on the grounds of qi cultivation and stayed in his room all night.
He sat down cross-legged, his upper body was upright, and he concentrated on making his whole body relax and natural, and if he was loose, his breath would be smooth, and his pulses would be comfortable. Then hold the meridian buckle with both hands, hug each other in front of the lower abdomen, hang the curtain with two eyes, look at the nose, look at the nose and mouth, look at the mouth and heart, and the tongue against the palate, and keep the umbilicus with the heart, mind and mind, so that the mind will not move.
Gradually, he felt that his heart was descending, his head and hands were like nothingness, and he only felt a little true breath in the umbilicus, moving in and out.
His face was quiet and peaceful, allowing his aura to slowly condense and not force it to operate.
I don't know how long it took, slowly the Wanliu Guizong True Qi in his body slowly rose between the perineal acupoints, going up along the Du Vein to the top of the Baihui head, and then the wisps converged into a warm current and returned to the Dantian along the Ren Vein, and after running like this for a short week, Duan Qianqiu felt that the True Qi in his body began to fill.
This true warmth was warm and peaceful, quiet and long, and after circulating for a small week, it slowly grew like spring buds breaking through the ground among the hundreds of limbs, dredging some of Duan Qianqiu's congested meridians.
This true qi is the true qi of the Ten Thousand Streams Returning to the Sect that he has cultivated for more than 20 years.
Duan Qianqiu gradually settled down, he completely forgot his mind and breath, only a little sense of gnosis existed in the hollow hole in the umbilicus, he did not move for a long time, let the true qi move smartly, and contained.
His body seemed to have become an ocean, and no matter how turbulent or docile and peaceful the sea was, he only let go of his embrace and let it go its own way, and return to its own right, without hindrance.
Unconsciously, the sky was already bright, and there was a gentle knock on the door from Lu Fu Yahuan: "Duan Gongzi, the master asked the slave maid and others to wait for you to wash and change your clothes." ”
When Duan Qianqiu heard this, he opened his eyes, it turned out that he had been meditating all night!
Now his body is full of the true qi of the Ten Thousand Streams Returning to the Sect, and the whole person has also regained his previous radiance. But the most powerful Jinshi Divine Skill True Qi that suddenly broke out yesterday is now gone.
He felt very confused in his heart, but now that he was able to gather his strength, it was better than nothing.
He looked at a plate in the room that was more than a foot away from him, and wanted to test his palm power. He drew a circle with his right palm backhand, and then pushed it out with his palm, which was the starting hand style "Cloud Qi Longxiang" in the cloud nine style, and the palm momentum was like a phantom, pushing layer by layer, silently playing.
The bonsai cracked, fell off the shelf, and shattered on the ground, making a crisp sound of "straddle".
Duan Qianqiu looked at his palm, and there was a burst of ecstasy in his heart: "I have finally recovered some strength", but then he was a little gloomy, "The powerful 'Cloud Piercing Nine Style' only has such a little lethality left, what should I do when facing the enemy?" Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a little more bored in my heart.
At this time, Yahuan, who was still waiting outside the house, heard the sound of things breaking in the room, and thought that something had happened to Duan Qianqiu, so he pushed the door and walked in, and it happened that a cat meow came from outside the unclosed window, Yahuan thought that the cat had knocked down the flower pot, so she said angrily: "Alas, this stupid cat broke the bonsai again." ”
Duan Qianqiu couldn't cry or laugh when he heard it.
At this time, Lu Bangyan also walked in from outside the door, saw a broken bonsai, and saw Duan Qianqiu looking at his palms in a daze, so he understood the ** point in his heart, and said with a smile: "Brother Duan, has your body recovered?"
Seeing that it was Lu Bangyan, Duan Qianqiu sighed bitterly and shook his head: "I have only recovered a little, I'm afraid it's similar to a cat!"
