Zhao Lin recognized at a glance that the elder Pan Yuepan in front of him was the old man in white who came to Qinghe County more than two years ago to visit him.
At that time, he captured Wen Gensheng, a traitor to the Xingyun Sect, and received a reward for the Moisturizing Pill. Pan Yue wanted to use other elixirs in exchange for the Moisturizing Pill to give to his nephew, but unfortunately he failed to do so.
Pan Yue also recognized Zhao Lin, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Yang Lin noticed the change in their expressions and asked with a smile: "What, have you met before?"
Pan Yue placed the brush on the pen holder and replied: "It's a one-sided relationship."
Yang Lin laughed and said, "A one-time relationship is also a fate, so I will leave my discipleship to you!"
Pan Yue nodded slightly, "Headmaster Lu mentioned this matter to me this morning."
Yang Lin put away his smile and said seriously: "I know that Brother Pan is devoted to studying martial arts and has not brought a disciple for many years, but I still hope you can put more thought into it."
Pan Yue glanced at Zhao Lin, "Brother Yang, don't worry. Although I am in Xianyun Hall, I still have the title of deputy head of the inner courtyard. I am not the real Xianyun Yehe."
"Since the sect has arranged it this way, Pan will do his best to teach."
Yang Lin stroked his palm and said, "I feel relieved if you say this!"
He always acted vigorously and resolutely, so he said a few words to Zhao Lin and then left.
Pan Yue and Zhao Lin were the only two people left in the yard, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.
Pan Yue coughed and said with emotion: "I didn't expect that in just over two years, you would reach the first level of the Blood Realm. It seems that the Moisturizing Pill should really be yours."
Zhao Lin hurriedly said: "Disciple is ashamed."
Pan Yue waved his hand and said: "You don't have to be humble, I am telling the truth. Although my great nephew is very talented, he is far from you. Later he also took a Moisturizing Pill, and now he is still at the second level of Qi Realm Stagnation Not forward."
"Forget it, don't mention the past. This is not the place to talk. You come with me."
As he spoke, he led Zhao Lin through the courtyard and into a secluded main room.
The room is not big and tidy.
There is a landscape painting hanging on the wall opposite the door. There are bookcases on the left and right sides. The table next to the screen is fully stocked with pens, inks, paper and inkstones. It has the feel of a scholar's study.
Zhao Lin noticed that the signature of the landscape painting was written with the words "Yueshan Jushi", and guessed that the person who painted the painting might be Pan Yue himself.
This kind of thing is not unusual. All skills are connected by analogy. In many martial arts, everyone has expertise in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry, wine, flower tea, etc., and some are even masters of woodworking.
"Since you will practice this in the future, let me first understand your cultivation level."
Pan Yue walked into the study, turned around and said.
"good."
Zhao Lin stretched out his hand skillfully.
Pan Yue put his finger on Zhao Lin's pulse gate and suddenly fell silent. After a while, he said:
"Although people with Qi of different attributes are rare, I have seen a few of them, and one of them has dual attributes of wind and ice. But having three Qi of different attributes like you is unheard of."
Zhao Lin grinned secretly, thinking that if the spirit beast map hadn't absorbed the souls of the ice silkworm, thunder catfish and wind raccoon, he would have none of them.
Pan Yue continued: "The disadvantages of heterogenous Qi are that it is difficult to control, lacks change, and there are very few martial arts techniques that can be evolved."
"But the advantages are also outstanding: the speed of the wind attribute is unparalleled, the ice attribute is unpredictable, and the thunder attribute attack power is invincible at the same level. It is not easy to practice well..."
He thought for a while, pointed to the bookshelf on the left and said, "Take the first book in the second row and the fifth book in the third row."
"yes."
Zhao Lin walked to the bookshelf and took down two books. One was called "The Examination of the Nei Jing" and the other was called "The General Outline of the Military Classics".
"Have you read these two books?"
"No."
"The Nei Jing Kao talks about the body's meridians, qi and blood, while the Wu Jing's general outline covers the principles of martial arts."
Pan Yue explained briefly and said, "Take it back and read it. If you don't understand anything, ask someone. Come over every day and tell me your practice experience."
"yes."
Zhao Lin hesitated for a moment and stopped talking.
He originally thought that Pan Yue would teach him one or two skills, but he didn't expect that he would just throw two basic books at him and go back to study.
It's like a person who wants to learn to make tea, but the master asks him to start by planting tea trees and making tea sets.
Is it possible that Pan Yue is still worried about Runzedan and intends to embarrass himself?
"Why, do you think these two books are useless?" Pan Yue asked upon seeing this.
"no."
Zhao Lin quickly denied, "The disciple is shallow and does not understand the elder's intention."
Pan Yue said: "Martial arts are ever-changing, but in theory they cultivate two things: one is cultivating oneself, and the other is cultivating skills."
"In fact, everyone who practices martial arts should first learn martial arts principles and then practice Kung Fu. Unfortunately, most people want quick results and place more emphasis on technique than Tao."
“Let me ask you, what’s the meaning of drinking jade jelly in the basic exercise of Ming Tiangu?”
Zhao Lin immediately replied: "These are the steps to cultivate Qi Jin: knock your teeth, drink jade paste, hold it firmly, and sound the sky drum."
"During the exercise, the tongue touches the roof of the mouth, and the upper and lower teeth bite thirty-six times. The mouth is full of body fluids, and swallowed in three mouthfuls... The energy rushes through the pulse in the ears, and it is like hearing the sound of a drum, which is the sound of Tiangu."
Pan Yue continued to ask: "Then why do you have to tap your teeth thirty-six times, and why do you have to swallow fluid three times?"
Zhao Lin was speechless.
Pan Yue suddenly said: "Have you ever eaten at Deshenglou in Yongning City?"
Zhao Lin was stunned for a moment, feeling that he couldn't keep up with Pan Yue's thoughts, and replied: "I haven't been there."
Pan Yue smiled slightly, "Deshenglou has a famous dish of roasted whole duck. The duck used is called stuffed duck. The meat is tender and fat but not greasy."
“Do you know where cramming comes from?”
Zhao Lin's heart moved and he vaguely guessed Pan Yue's intention, but still replied: "Disciple doesn't know."
Pan Yue said slowly: "Cook brown rice, peanuts and rice bran, stir it into a ball, stuff it into the duck's mouth with a stick, and push it into the duck's stomach. After stuffing in a few, he didn't stop until he was about to burst his belly with more stuff. "
"A duck stuffed in this way can be ready for the market in more than a month."
"Many people who practice martial arts are like this kind of cramming. They follow whatever the teacher teaches them like a puppet on a string."
At this point, he sighed softly, "I also know that this is the easiest way to do it, but the higher you go in martial arts, the more you have to understand what's going on."
"Don't believe in some biographies and think that you can be invincible if you get a so-called peerless skill. That's impossible."
"Why are Xiantian realm warriors also called masters? They all create their own techniques!"
Zhao Lin couldn't help but feel excited after hearing this.
Xianyuntang is equivalent to the martial arts academy of Xingyun Sect. Since Pan Yue is willing to teach him martial arts, he just takes this opportunity to learn the theory.
"It is better to teach a man how to fish than to teach him how to fish. My disciple understands."
Zhao Lin bowed deeply and said sincerely: "Thank you, Elder Pan."
Pan Yue smiled, "If you sharpen your knife and chop wood, it will take you at most ten days and a half to understand these two books. You don't need me to tell you what you will practice by then. You already know it yourself."
