"Little friend Yang, I haven't seen you for more than ten years. I don't know how far your martial arts has reached." Huang Yaoshi said to Xiang Nan with a smile.
"I'm still meditating on [Unity of Heaven and Man], but I haven't made much progress." Xiang Nan explained.
The so-called "Unity of Heaven and Man", according to the Taoist inner elixir theory, is to combine the boundless vitality with the finite body to form the Nascent Soul, enlighten the Yangshen, and then refine the gods to return to emptiness, unite with the Tao, and unite with the Tao. The natural way of doing nothing, the way is unified into one, which is the most ultimate [unity of nature and man].
However, Xiang Nan has been enlightened and practiced Zen for so many years. Although his inner strength has become increasingly refined and his temperament has become more sincere, he still cannot return to his true nature and form the Nascent Soul. At most, he only has good looks. He is nearly fifty years old and still looks like a young man in his twenties and thirties.
"Do you really plan to live forever and become an immortal?" Huang Yaoshi said in surprise, "But after so many years, you are still young and immortal, and you are indeed good at keeping your appearance."
"Brother Yang, don't waste your energy. There is no such thing as rejuvenation or immortality in the world." Zhou Botong advised, "It's better to learn from my old naughty boy and eat, drink, play and be happy every day. Wouldn't it be a good thing?"
"My great-uncle has a brilliant nature, and he is as pure as a child, which is really enviable." Xiang Nan nodded, "But returning to youth, as far as I know, is not impossible.
During the Northern Song Dynasty, there was a martial arts in the Piaomiao Peak of Lingjiu Mountain, a branch of the Xiaoyao Sect. It was called [Bahuangliuhe Weiweizonggong], which meant that one could rejuvenate oneself once in thirty years. After that, one would lose all his power and had to rely on blood sucking every day at noon to practice. And for every day of practice, one year of skill is restored, and the person grows one year older, until finally all skill is restored. "
When everyone heard this, they were all amazed. They believed in Xiang Nan's character and would never talk nonsense. Therefore, it is really amazing that there is actually a martial art that can rejuvenate one's youth in this world.
"During the Northern Song Dynasty, there was indeed the Lingjiu Palace in Piaomiao Mountain. We, the fourteenth generation leader of the Beggar Clan, went to the Lingjiu Palace to learn [Eighteen Palms for Subduing the Dragon] and [Dog Beating Stick Technique]." Hong Qigong nodded, " At that time, I, the leader of the Beggar Clan, Qiao, unfortunately passed away in middle age. Before he died, I passed on two martial arts to my sworn brother, Xu Zhuzi, the master of the Lingjiu Palace, and he passed them on to the Beggar Clan disciples.
It is said that Xu Zhuzi's martial arts skills are extremely high, and he can master two unique skills in just one night. In terms of qualifications, he is indeed much better than my old beggar. "
When everyone saw that Hong Qigong admitted that something was going on, they couldn't help but become more and more fascinated by Lingjiu Palace.
…
After the commando team was formed, Xiang Nan took them out of the city to meet the enemy.
In fact, martial arts masters are very suitable to be special forces, performing tasks such as infiltration, harassment, destruction, and beheading.
Although the Mongolian camp was heavily guarded, for masters like Xiang Nan, Huang Yaoshi, and Hong Qigong, it was as if they were in an uninhabited territory, and they were completely defenseless.
Sure enough, the commando team was extraordinary as soon as they took action. They successively wiped out several vanguard armies shot by Mongolia, killed and wounded nearly a thousand people, and captured a large number of horses and weapons.
In particular, they also found out that this time Mongolia's grain and grass were hoarded in Nanyang City, and heavy troops were deployed for defense to avoid repeating the same mistakes as last time.
In addition, the Mongolian army also stored hundreds of thousands of kilograms of gunpowder in Nanyang City. Prepare to use artillery to attack the city when the time comes. Even if the Xiangyang City Gate is made of black iron, it will not escape the fate of being blown open.
When everyone heard this, they were shocked.
Hundreds of thousands of kilograms of gunpowder are incredibly powerful. Once used in Xiangyang City, the entire city may be blown up, so it must not be allowed to exist in the world.
"Let's divide our troops into two teams, one to burn gunpowder and the other to burn grain and grass. Let's attack together to prevent the Mongolian army from taking precautions." Xiang Nan suggested to everyone.
Everyone nodded and then sneaked into Nanyang City together.
At this time, there were no civilians in Nanyang City and it was completely reduced to a military station. Therefore, except for the Mongolian army, no one was allowed to enter at all. Anyone who dared to approach would be killed without mercy, so as to avoid being infiltrated and harassed as much as possible.
Although it is so heavily defended, it still cannot stop masters such as Xiang Nan from infiltrating.
After sneaking in, the troops split into two groups.
Xiang Nan went to burn the gunpowder himself, while Huang Yaoshi, Hong Qigong and others went to burn the grain and grass.
Because the gunpowder explodes instantly and the implications are very wide, there is no need to light fires everywhere, so only one person can do it.
But to burn food, you must light fires everywhere. The more fire points there are, the more severe the burning will be. Moreover, the large number of people can resist the Mongolian troops who come to put out the fire, allowing the food and grass to burn more thoroughly.
Xiang Nan immediately rushed to the north of the city, where the gunpowder was stored in a cave in the north of the city.
Huang Yaoshi and others also went to the south of the city, where the food and grass were produced in the open-air military field.
…
Xiang Nan traveled quickly and came to the north of the city.
I saw that the entire road was really heavily guarded, with soldiers patrolling and sentry posts visible and hidden, which were almost as good as the palace's defense.
Fortunately, Xiang Nan had excellent Qinggong, and his figure was erratic. In the darkness of the night, like a burst of blue smoke, he easily bypassed all the checkpoints and entered the gunpowder magazine in the north of the city.
I saw that the defense in front of the gunpowder magazine was even tighter. There is an army of a thousand people on the periphery, with bright armor and a forest of spears and halberds, surrounding the gunpowder magazine like an iron barrel.
Further inside are hundreds of sharpshooters, each with strong bows and crossbows, and sharp eyes. Anyone who dares to trespass will be shot into a hedgehog immediately.
The third circle is the final barrier composed of thirty monks. They sat cross-legged in front of the powder magazine and blocked the door. Anyone who wanted to enter had to pass through them.
Xiang Nan saw that each of them had slightly sunken foreheads and long breathing, and knew that they were all masters. Although not as good as Jinlun Dharma King, thirty people together cannot be underestimated.
Unexpectedly, Mongolia has recruited so many masters in just a few years, which shows that its national destiny is indeed strong.
With so many masters put together, it would be difficult for Xiang Nan to break through.
Because even if he could kill these thirty monks, it would still take a lot of effort. And as long as Fan Monk shouted loudly, someone would immediately rush to support him.
When the time comes, facing hundreds of sharpshooters and thousands of elite soldiers, Xiang Nan, no matter how good his martial arts skills are, will still be in a state of despair.
Fortunately, these are monks who like to sit cross-legged and meditate. This gives Xiang Nan an opportunity to take advantage of.
He immediately made a sneaking move, and like a burst of blue smoke, he came to the powder magazine silently.
After that, Xiang Nan silently performed mystical skills and used the Wuxiang Jie Finger, and silently, thirty monks clicked on the acupuncture points one after another.
His internal strength is now extremely high, and the distance between Wuxiangjie's fingers is about four feet. Standing on the eaves, he can just hold them one by one.
Moreover, the non-appearance calamity refers to the silent and formless calamity. Even people at the Wujue level will inevitably fall into the trap if they are not careful. What's more, these monks are only first-class masters, far from the Five Ultimate Skills, and there is no way to prevent them.
In addition, they are monks who like to sit cross-legged and meditate, so even if their acupoints are tapped, they cannot be seen. If it were an ordinary expert who liked to move around and talk, once he was clicked, he would be noticed immediately, which would be difficult for Xiang Nan.
In fact, Meng Ge recruited a group of martial arts masters in the Central Plains, but he did not trust them, only trusted these monks from the Western Regions, so he gave Xiang Nan the opportunity to exploit loopholes.
