After all, they are the protagonists in the original work. Zhao Qing still has some affection for Gao Zhong and Xu Ziling. After investigation, it was confirmed that these two people have excellent qualifications and are valuable to cultivate.
At the same time, she also knew that the two of them were currently in a strange state of continuous enlightenment, and their state of mind was far beyond normal. They should not be disturbed by the outside world, otherwise it would affect the results of their training in the "Secret of Immortality".
Chuan Yin asked him to follow him. When he saw the grave not far away, Master Song fell into a daze and said not to say anything. He also set up an isolation and shielding air wall. She looked at the "Secret of Immortality" spread out on the rock surface. 》, while exploring and browsing, I was thoughtful.
I saw that the cover of "The Secret of Immortality" is the same as that of an ordinary book. If you don't touch it with your own hands, you will never see anything unusual. However, the Secret of Immortality is made of black gold thread, and the feel of the tentacles is different from that of ordinary paper, and it is more versatile. It cannot be immersed in water and does not burn in fire, making it extremely difficult to forge.
This black gold thread, in terms of material, is half a step higher than black iron, black gold, etc. It is the most difficult material to destroy in the world, and Guangchengzi was able to smelt it thousands of years ago. The silk thread naturally relies on the power of the true sun fire of "Zhiyang Wuji".
"Secret of Immortality" is a secret that has not been passed down through the ages. It coincides with the principles of heaven and man. Everything is out of nature and comes from the way of heaven that Laozi said: "The Tao can be Tao, but it is not Tao", and "mysterious and mysterious, the most wonderful door".
Although there are many wise men and women who have read this book among the sages, no one has ever been able to understand it thoroughly and decipher the whole book.
Except for the seven human figures at the end, the entire book is written in oracle bone writing, with a total of 7,400 glyphs, but only more than 3,000 glyphs have been deciphered. The book is also densely packed with comments from people who have read the book, which are often more confusing than the original text.
Fortunately, there are seven human figures in the book, all with the same posture, and are guided by various symbols such as red dots, dotted lines, arrows, etc., as if they are describing some kind of cultivation method.
For example, in the image of Kou Zhong who is practicing, it looks like he is walking. The meridians and acupoints are marked with red dotted lines, and there is a thick black arrow that seems to be the starting point. The situation is very different.
The arrows below are divided into seven colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. Each colored arrow seems to tell a completely different set of exercises. Not only are the paths different, but the selected acupoints are also very different. Many of them Acupuncture points are rarely known, or are considered irrelevant to Qigong practice.
In Xu Ziling's portrait of a supine figure, the thick black arrow points to the Yongquan point on the right foot, while the seven-color arrow points to the Yongquan point on the left foot. Unlike Koo Zhong's return to the Tianling point on the top of the head, both images are complicated. Not even close.
For those who are not familiar with its meaning, such as Shi Long, the number one master in Yangzhou who has studied "The Secret of Immortality" for many years, even if they don't practice it, if they force their inner energy to activate according to some of the symbols, their energy and blood will immediately surge. , as he becomes more obsessive, it is extremely dangerous.
Noticing the seven-colored arrows in the two pictures, Zhao Qing's mind moved slightly. She realized that the complexity and difficulty of practicing the "Secret of Immortality" might be higher than she had previously expected. It would be difficult to find an accurate person to practice this skill in a short period of time. ideas.
Each of the seven images at the end of the book is divided into seven colors of meridian paths. Assuming that each path can cultivate the inner strength of the true energy, that is a total of forty-nine sets of exercises, which are the same as those in the Temple of War. The reliefs in the two paintings are equal in number and appear extremely mysterious.
Because Fu Junma once explained the secret of practicing Jiuxuan Dafa to Shuanglong in detail. Therefore, when they practiced the Secret of Immortality, they naturally combined the Nine Mysteries and the Secret of Immortality, integrating the secret method and martial arts that were originally purely about self-cultivation and nourishment into one.
According to the mental method taught by Fu Junma, the two of them hugged each other, and their thoughts naturally followed the meridians and acupuncture points that they had already memorized. They always consciously or unconsciously complied with the purpose of the Nine Xuan Dafa, and only selected some of the seven-color arrows. String the practice together, not all the arrows.
In other words, what Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling really cultivated is actually a fusion of the first level of the "Eternal Life Secret" and the "Nine Mysteries". It is specious. It is not the pure "Eternal Life Secret", but mixed with some of the Nine Mysteries. The Dafa part may have reduced the quality of this skill.
According to the original work, even if all the knowledgeable martial arts masters of the contemporary era were invited to come, we still don’t know what they have practiced. Even the author who wrote "The Secret of Immortality" would be shocked by the current situation of the two of them. right.
How to practice the real "Secret of Immortality"? Although Zhao Qing knows that he can also try to understand multiple sets of incomplete versions that also contain some seven-color arrows through changes in his mood like Shuanglong, he has not yet found the idea.
As for Shuanglong's encounter with the burning pain in his meridians when he was practicing the "Secret of Immortality" and the extreme cold that nearly froze him to death, this was just normal when practicing "Sun True Fire" and "Taiyin True Water" techniques. The phenomenon is similar to the prelude to the disasters of "burning scriptures" and "condensing scriptures", but the danger is relatively limited.
For her who has mastered Yin and Yang Wuji, this is not a secret. As long as she fully understands some of the mysteries of returning emptiness and refining emptiness, she can greatly reduce the damage caused by the two, and even use it to open up and strengthen the meridians.
In the eyes of ordinary experts, these two situations are typical cases of obsession, ranging from paralysis to death due to bursting of meridians. For example, "Mountain Pushing Hand" Shi Long once practiced according to the diagram, but due to his long-standing prejudices, he did not dare to continue practicing once he tried incorrectly, and did not have the courage to endure it to the end.
However, throughout the ages, there have been by no means a few masters who have achieved Shan Wuji, and there should be many disciples who have been taught by them. They all know the practice of special Qi exercises such as "Taiyin True Water" and "Sun True Fire". But no one can crack the secret of the "Secret of Immortality" image;
It seems that the last two pictures should be images corresponding to Yin and Yang. Perhaps it is not just as simple as the Ultimate Yin Wuji and the Ultimate Yang Wuji. It cannot be practiced with relevant experience. Otherwise, the secret of the longevity secret will not last for thousands of years. No one can stand it anymore.
What really stumps them is undoubtedly what do these seven-colored arrows represent, how should they be sequenced in the practice process, and how should they be integrated into one in the end?
Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, blue, and purple do not seem to belong to the same system as the five colors of blue, yellow, red, white, and black that represent the five elements. They are quite strange. They are more like the seven colors of the rainbow, which are referred to in Taoism. The times are not clear and the rules are unknown.
Since the oracle bone inscriptions in the book cannot be deciphered, even with Zhao Qing's qualifications and understanding, he will not be able to start in a short time. Since he does not know the specific mental method of this "Longevity Art", at most he can only get a glimpse of part of the mystery of this skill.
Speaking of which, oracle bone inscriptions are generally considered to be characters that appeared in the Shang Dynasty. They were named after they were carved on tortoise shells and animal bones. Although there should have been characters in earlier times, Guangchengzi's "Secret of Immortality" is considered to be written in oracle bone inscriptions. Is it a bit ahead of its time?
Or is it that the writing before the Shang Dynasty is actually very similar to oracle bone inscriptions, so they are classified as the same kind of writing? Or maybe the previous sages made a mistake in their judgment, which is why they failed to decipher it?
Of course, Guangchengzi had a particularly long life, and it was not impossible to survive into the Shang Dynasty relying on the magic of "The Secret of Immortality". However, according to the "Bianhuang Legend", Guangchengzi's ascension should have occurred earlier than the Yellow Emperor.
Speaking of which, among the wizards in the Yue Kingdom of the main world who use tortoise shells and animal bones for divination, there should be some who know the exact meaning of the oracle bone inscriptions. Assuming that the characters in the two worlds are the same, you can also try to ask them for advice and translation.
Observing the seven-color arrows on the image carefully, Zhao Qing couldn't help but think of the seven colors of visible light, and had some doubts that the "Secret of Immortality" was actually a skill related to light.
Light itself represents the vitality of life, as opposed to the darkness that represents destruction. After practicing the "Secret of Immortality" with Shuanglong, both the yin and the yang have extraordinary healing abilities and vitality that match each other.
According to her personal experience, the normal "Yin Wuji" and "Yang Wuji" routes, the healing ability of the former is significantly higher than that of the latter, just as the destructive power of the latter is significantly higher than that of the former, which is not theoretically consistent with the first route. The situation in the seventh picture of the six.
So, the "Secret of Immortality" is actually a technique that uses seven-color light system to interpret the changes of yin and yang and the five elements, so it is particularly good at preserving health?
As far as Zhao Qing knows, only the Great Ming Zunjiao has a similar situation in terms of exercises related to light, such as the "Mingyu Gong" in the "Wisdom Sutra on the Roots of Control of All Dharmas" and the "Guangming Sutra" in another volume. , are all so-called light martial arts.
Perhaps, by studying these light-based exercises, I can draw parallels, deduce the correct sequence of the seven-color arrows of the "Secret of Immortality", and understand the combination of light, yin and yang and the five elements?
Knowing that Shuanglong should wait until the ninth day to learn the "Secret of Immortality", and there was still half a day and a whole night, Zhao Qing, after writing down the seven images of "The Secret of Immortality", caught a glimpse of Fu Junmai shedding tears in front of his tomb. Song Shidao sighed softly.
His body was slightly shaken, he looked up at the sky, his eyes were filled with tears, he let out a long breath, lowered his head and whispered to himself: "Jun Ma really died like this, the sky is so unkind, spring is not here" The flowers have fallen, I will definitely kill Yu Wenhua and the traitor with my own hands."
In addition to the news of Fu Junma's death, what may make Song Shidao even more sad is that because the Song clan has not yet openly rebelled and conflicts with the Yuwen clan are unlikely to break out, as the young leader of the Song clan, he does not have full freedom and needs to be protected Due to the constraints of family responsibilities, it was impossible to take immediate action against Yu Wenhuaji.
In fact, in terms of martial arts skills, Song Shidao is not as good as Yuwen clan's second master Yu Wenhuaji. His strength is much inferior, roughly equivalent to Fu Junma. Within a few years, it will be difficult for anyone to catch up with him and successfully revenge himself. possible.
Knowing that Song Shidao's sentimentality needed to be overcome alone for a period of time before it could be relieved, Zhao Qing did not waste any time and once again observed the two dragons who were enlightening and practicing. With a slight thought in his mind, he came up with a way to speed up their understanding. The secret to achieve success and increase harvest.
…
More than two hours later, the sky gradually darkened, and the sound of barking dogs suddenly came from outside the valley, mixed with the sharp sound of hooves, coming along the stream flowing out of the valley. If you listen carefully, you can see that there are at least hundreds of soldiers and horses. , and more than a dozen hunting dogs.
Surrounded by hundreds of soldiers and horses, a man who looked to be in his thirties, tall and thin, with slender hands and feet, narrowed eyes and shining eyes, was riding on a tall horse. He was appointed by Yang Guang Yuwen Zhiji will be the young eunuch.
Behind him, Yu Wenhuaji's confidant Zhang Shihe saw that the team was about to enter the valley, and he complimented: "The second master is really resourceful. The Song clan prince who is suspected of being in love with the Rakshasa girl and a young girl who wields a sword." It’s easy to imagine why he ran into the wilderness inexplicably.”
"If it weren't for the smell of alcohol left behind by Master Song along the way, and the help of Captain Chi's hunting dogs, I might not have been able to find this hidden valley far away from Danyang." Yu Wenzhiji looked at the Yangzhou Manager who came with him next to him. Yuchi Sheng laughed and said:
"Since I cultivated the 'Ice Xuan Jin', I haven't fought with anyone at full strength for many years, but I don't know if I can get what I want from the second son of the Song Dynasty and another disciple of Fu Cailin, and show off his ice-cold maneuvers. effect."
"The eldest brother was seriously injured at the hands of that Rakshasa woman, and said that her swordsmanship was the best he had ever seen in his life. I want to see if the 'sword chesswork' used by their sect is really as great as the rumors say."
The two most powerful people in the Yuwen family are Yuwen Shang and Yuwen Shu. The former devotes himself to martial arts and has unparalleled martial arts skills, but has never been involved in officialdom. He has two sons, Yuwen Chengdu and Yuwen Wudi.
Yu Wenshu held high positions in the court successively, reaching the rank of Duke Xu Guogong, where he was a highly respected minister. He had three sons, Yu Wenmingji and the eldest son, Yuwen Shiji and Yuwen Zhiji.
After Xu Guogong Yu Wenshu died of illness, the Yuwen family became most famous for its leader Yu Wenshang, followed by the four great masters Yu Wenhuaji, Yuwen Chengdu, Yuwen Wudi, and Yuwen Shiji. Culture and is best known to people in the world.
Although it is rumored that Yu Wenhuaji is the only person who has mastered the family secret skill "Bing Xuanjin" after Yuwen Shang, but what few people know is that Yuwen Zhiji, who is not among the four masters of the Yuwen clan, also has the same He has achieved great results in the "Bing Xuan Jin", and his martial arts skills are no less than those of his elder brother.
Apparently, after getting the information that Song Shidao followed a sword-wielding girl out, suspected to be looking for Fu Junma, Yuwen Zhiji regarded Zhao Qing as a swordsman under Fu Cailin's sect, and while Yu Wenhuaji was in seclusion to heal his wounds, Yuwen Zhiji decided to support them. Yuchi Sheng of the family teamed up to try to deal with Song Shidao and Zhao Qing.
Yuchi Sheng glanced at Yu Wenhuaji's second brother, nodded and said: "God bless the Great Zhou, although it is a bit troublesome to deal with this Song clan master, and the information needs to be kept strictly confidential to prevent the revenge of the 'Heavenly Sword' Song Que, but with the Compared to the 'Longevity Art' that Hun Jun died suddenly after practicing it, it is nothing."
"Speaking of which, the Rakshasa girl seems to have mastered the secret of 'Yang Gong's Treasure House'? I hope she can have time to pass the news to the two gangsters who were traveling with her before she died of the 'Bing Xuan Jin' injury. Let us torture him out."
The two men signaled their soldiers and horses to lower their hooves, spread out and surrounded the valley, looked at each other, each held weapons, and slowly approached towards the opening of the valley.
