Zongxian shook the bamboo leaves on his body, looked at my dumbfounded look, straightened his already straight body and said to me, "Xiao Yuanchu, don't make a fuss, I just moved my fingers."
Zongxian is obviously mistaken. I know that Chi You has no weak generals. No matter how powerful Zongxian is, I won’t be surprised. I just feel sorry for the innocent stone tables and benches in the yard, and They didn't do anything about that crooked-necked tree. It had stood peacefully in the training ground on top of the snow-capped mountains for who knows how many years. But today it suffered such an unreasonable disaster. It was really aggrieved.
I walked over and looked at the section that had been cut off at the waist, wondering if there was any way to remedy it and whether I could put it back together for them.
"These are just basic skills for getting started. As a person from the early Yuan Dynasty, with my guidance, you should be able to master it quickly!"
Zongxian saw that I ignored him, but kept touching the stone table and bench, and started to get evil fire again.
"I'm talking to you, why have you been playing with that rotten stone!" Zong Xian waved his hand again, and the stone in my hand immediately shattered into powder, and was blown out of the wall by the howling cold wind and turned into powder. In the snow.
I lowered my head and clenched my fists...
"What do you want to teach me? Please give me some advice. I'd like to hear the details." I raised my head again and said to Zong Xian with a smile. At the same time, I caught a glimpse of Can Gang standing aside and heaving a sigh of relief.
Afterwards, in a casual conversation, Can Gang told me that Zongxian had an extremely bad temper. He was afraid that if I angered Zongxian, Zongxian would beat me to death.
In this regard, I explained to Can Gang, "I am no longer the Zhang Xiyuan I used to be. Now I feel that there is no need to worry about many things. I have poor abilities, and Mr. Zong happens to be willing to teach me, so why not Why? Those meaningless little emotions are not worth mentioning."
Can Gang listened to my words and only said, "It seems you are ready."
Seeing my humbly asking for advice, Zong Xian softened his anger and said, "I will only speak once from now on."
"I know." I nodded to Zongxian.
"Let me test you first. How do you think everything in the world works?" Zong Xianzhen asked me as if he were a teacher.
"Well, I really don't know, but I'm sure everything has its own rules, but in short, they all advance in waves and spirals." I replied seriously.
"Spiral?" Zong first looked at Can Gang, and Can Gang looked at me. Obviously they didn't know what spiral meant.
I want my high school teacher to hear that I haven’t forgotten what she taught me in this other world, and I’ve also taught modern philosophy to people thousands of years ago. Her glasses will probably slip to the corners of her mouth. go!
"There is actually no difference between the vast world and a bamboo. Isn't the space between the sky and the earth empty? The middle of the bamboo is also empty, but when the Qi inside circulates, it will flow continuously."
gas? This is obviously too esoteric for me.
"You must keep yourself as hollow as bamboo so that the basic energy of life - Qi, can pass through it."
I thought Zongxian would teach me some amazing skills, but I didn’t expect that all he said were words I couldn’t understand!
"Be upright in the world, be obedient in the world, be gentle in the heart, and be quiet in the body, this is the integrity of bamboo; when you move, you forget your feelings, when you are still, you forget your thoughts, when you take the opportunity, you forget yourself, when you respond, you forget things, this is the emptiness in the bamboo. Make a decision, It is never easy to have no doubts and to be harmonious inside and outside. Bamboo is the coldest year in the world. Bamboo is the most luxuriant among the vegetation. Do you know why?"
"Why?"
"Bamboo is the purest thing in the world."
When I heard this, I understood clearly. Zong Xian said a lot, but was he praising himself here?
I quietly leaned towards Can Gang and asked him in a low voice, "Brother Zongxian, has he always been like this before?" Can Gang spit out the letter and nodded helplessly.
Zongxian was still boasting there, praising bamboo with every word and every sentence, but I remembered that there is... modesty in the quality of bamboo...
"Brother Zongxian...Brother Zongxian..." Can Gang, with a smile on his face, carefully interrupted Zongxian's soliloquy...
"What are you doing?" Zong Xian was very dissatisfied with Can Gang for interrupting his teaching, and the bamboo knife on his body immediately flashed with cold light.
"Brother Zongxian, my disciple, he doesn't understand these profound theories... He just..."
"What I said is already the most basic!" Zong Xian didn't give Can Gang a chance to speak at all.
"It's true...I don't understand a bit..."
Zong Xian looked at me with disgust, "That's all, then I'll teach you a set of breathing techniques first, so that you can feel the flow of Qi in your body first. When the Qi in your body starts to circulate, you can release your internal strength." So angry!”
Later, Zongxian asked me to touch his bamboo body with my forehead as he did when he woke him up. He showed me the flow of Qi in his body. What surprised me was that the Qi in his body was not just a small part. Internal circulation, but connecting the world and the earth, all the energy in the world can flow through his body!
I see! The energy he used in fighting completely absorbed the energy between heaven and earth! Although the weapons he used were bamboo knives on the bamboo body, what really drove these bamboo knives was the inner Qi. The source of this Qi was not Zongxian himself, but originated from heaven and earth!
Zongxian's body is like a bamboo flute, with nothing above and below, and those bamboo knives are the holes in the bamboo flute. He controls the holes on the bamboo flute by using the energy that passes through his body between heaven and earth. You can play different tones, and the combination of different tones gives you invincible fighting power! I instantly understood everything Zongxian said before! His words remain true to their purpose, which is to keep me hollow.
But this hollowing is easier said than done. I am a human being of flesh and blood. If I were to use my spiritual body to stay hollow, it might still be possible, but...how can I do it with my physical body?
"Young man from the early Yuan Dynasty, there is no need to worry. You should first practice the breathing and breathing method taught to you by Zong Xian. Once you are familiar with it, its meaning will become apparent."
Can Gang seemed to have seen through my psychological activities and comforted me from the side. After that, Can Gang and I complimented Zong Xian a few more times, and then he left with satisfaction.
After that, I stayed away from Zongxian and practiced the breathing and breathing method he gave me. Can Gang would occasionally give me pointers. This set of exercises was really different from others. I only practiced it a few times according to the method, and it worked. Can sense the flow of all energy around him.
"Before, I was eager for success and taught you the ability to kill people with physical skills. If you learn what Zong Xian taught you, you can make up for the shortcomings in your physical skills from within. Moreover, you can follow this Practice this method, and soon you won’t need to eat or drink anymore.”
"No need to eat or drink? What does this mean?"
"You no longer need to be controlled by your own appetite to eat, you can directly absorb spiritual energy from the world."
This sounds very tempting. During these days following Chi You and the others, they all have extraordinary bodies and no longer need to eat. But if I don’t eat, I will be so hungry that my legs and feet will become weak. If I could directly By absorbing energy from heaven and earth, my abilities should be further improved.
After that, every time Zongxian and Cangang had to say something, I listened very attentively. They were very satisfied with my learning attitude and taught me a lot. After I put away my little emotions, I felt that I My progress has been much faster. Since I saw the breathing and breathing method that Zongxian showed me, I have also realized a lot of things. I think the most useful thing for me at the moment is tolerance. "Book of Changes" says: "Don't use the hidden dragon." When you are weak, you need to avoid its sharp edge, hide and lurk, study silently, and act in a low-key manner. The more solid the foundation is laid in the early stage, the easier it will be to seize opportunities later.
I must hibernate now and wait for that day.
After a few days and nights like this, everything was fine. Looking at the terrifying appearance of Juezhang, his personality was very different. He was extremely docile. He lay on the relief of the training ground every day. I asked Can Gang privately, Does Jue Zhang have no vocal organs? Can Gang said that is not the case, Jue Zhang just doesn’t want to speak.
Soon, Chi You came back with Bei Lie, and at the same time he brought back some unexpected news - the whereabouts of the Centaur tribe.
When I heard the word "people and horses", my heart still froze.
"The Centaur tribe is also an old acquaintance of the people from the early Yuan Dynasty, so this time I have to visit the Centaur tribe together."
"Are they the descendants of Han Ting?" Can Gang asked.
Chi You nodded. "Without further delay, let's set off immediately." Chi You spread his wings and flew into the sky again, but I could only look at Ben Jing and Yusuke. They were divided into two and wrapped around my shoulders and armpits. It looked like, It's like I'm wearing a giant white cape.
"Hey yo hey yo hey yo" a childlike voice came from behind me, coming from Moto and Yosuke.
"You can talk!" This was the first time I heard them make a sound other than laughter, which made me happy. Following their voices, the cloak trembled up and down, and I flew into the sky!
Chi You was in front, Ben Jing and I were behind, and Bei Lie also came with us. After flying in the air for a while, I saw the swamp, and flew west for a while. The forest was very similar to where the tribe had set up camp. When I descended to the ground, I saw a familiar fence.
I made a hollow fist with my hand. "What are you doing?" Chi You asked me.
"This is the custom of their tribe."
Then, we walked into the fence, and I saw a lot of familiar figures. The little people and horses that we had saved in the swamp were now very tall. Little White-haired brother came out to greet us. His injuries were already over. Everything was fine, I couldn't help but hug him, but his reaction was stiff and his expression was complicated.
"What are you doing here?" Xiao Baimao's brother said in a cold voice.
I don't know why he has changed so much. I figured in my mind that the time we were apart wasn't too long, so there was no reason for us to fall apart so quickly...
"Where's your...Abba?"
"Abba couldn't bear the stimulation and turned into a forest."
Stimulate? Forest? What happened?
