Dragon Palace, in the stone chamber.
In the corner near the wall, a crimson bead was igniting a golden flame.
Above the flames, a cauldron as black as ink was slowly rotating.
The cauldron was filled with steam, and there was the sound of boiling juice. It sounded extremely thick, and there was also the sound of metal colliding from time to time.
In front of the cauldron, a snow-white figure wearing a white dress was sitting there quietly.
Between her slender jade fingers, a flame-like light lit up, and from time to time, light points shot out and fell into the flames under the cauldron.
The flames were like living things, wrapping around the bottom of the small cauldron and constantly burning.
The boiling sound in the cauldron became smaller and smaller.
After a while, the snow-white figure stood up, opened the small cauldron, and put another piece of Geng gold into it.
Immediately, he continued to activate the flame refining.
Outside the stone room, Luo Qingzhou stood at the door. After hesitating for a long time, Fang cautiously said: "Sister Yue, are you in there?"
The room was quiet for a while, and then a cold voice came: "Not here."
Luo Qingzhou: "..."
Long Er came quietly behind him and whispered: "Master, it will take a long time for my sister to be here, so we don't want to disturb her here. Didn't Master's physical body just advance to the realm of the master? Long Er has it here. There are two sets of exercises that you can try, Master."
Luo Qingzhou was startled when he heard this, and quickly turned his head to look at her and said, "Is this the technique practiced by the master?"
Long Er nodded and said: "Yes, one set is internal strength and mental skills, and the other is boxing skills. They are both skills practiced by the master, and they are all very powerful ancient skills."
Luo Qingzhou's face suddenly showed a look of surprise, but after thinking about it carefully, he suddenly realized that something was wrong. He frowned and said: "Long'er, is it such a coincidence? I have just been promoted to Grandmaster, and you happen to have these two A set of exercises, and they are exactly what I need."
Long Er blinked his big harmless eyes and said: "Long Er doesn't know that these two sets of exercises are a dowry given to Long Er by his father. Maybe his father thought that Long Er would like someone as outstanding as the young master. Human beings."
Luo Qingzhou's face stiffened and he said, "A dowry again?"
Long Er said with a smile: "Yes, what dad left to Long Er is all dowry, including this Dragon Palace. Young Master, don't you want it?"
Luo Qingzhou was silent for a moment, looked at her and said, "Long'er, I really need the skills now."
It's almost dawn outside.
After today, tomorrow will be the day when he enters the palace.
Although it may be too late to have any effect after obtaining the master's skills now, he must seize every opportunity to gain a chance of survival for himself and Chanchanduo.
Long Er immediately held his hand affectionately and said: "Master, let's go to Long Er's palace. It's big and warm there. Master can practice there."
Luo Qingzhou felt the softness of her little hands and the fragrance of her body, raised his head again, glanced at the closed stone door in front of him, paused, and said, "Let's go."
"Um."
Long Er happily pulled him away.
In the stone chamber, it was still silent, and there seemed to be only the sound of the burning flames and the boiling sound of the materials in the cauldron.
Luo Qingzhou followed Long Er and quickly arrived at her bedroom and entered her girl's boudoir.
The room was luxuriously decorated, with thick velvet carpets on the floor. Colorful gems were hung everywhere on the walls, bedside curtains, and windows. Even the tables and chairs were made of crystal clear jade.
Luo Qingzhou couldn't help complaining: "Is this a treasure house or a sleeping place?"
Long Er hugged his arm and said with a sweet smile: "Young master, this place can also be called the treasure house. Isn't Long'er your treasure? The golden house hides the beauty or the golden house hides the treasure."
The corners of Luo Qingzhou's mouth twitched and he said: "Don't use words randomly."
Then he changed the subject and said: "Give me the technique. I will take the time to practice it and see the effect."
Long Er knew that he had important things to do, so he didn't dare to joke. He immediately took out two stacks of rice paper from the storage ring and handed them to him.
Luo Qingzhou was stunned for a moment, took it in his hand, looked at the brand new paper, then looked at her and said: "Long'er, are you sure this is the ancient technique your father left for you?"
Long Er nodded firmly and said, "Yes, is there something wrong?"
Luo Qingzhou's heart suddenly sank, and the surprise and expectation just now disappeared.
He said no more, lowered his head, and silently opened one of the stacks of rice paper.
On the title page of the rice paper, there are a few large characters written crookedly: "The Breathing Technique of the Divine Turtle".
He turned to the first page.
On the page, simple lines were used to outline the body of a turtle and the body of a human. The two line drawings seemed to be no different from the random scribblings of a three-year-old boy.
Luo Qingzhou was about to smile bitterly when he suddenly saw a lot of lines drawn on the bodies of the turtle diagram and the human body diagram. On the other end of the lines, the names of the acupuncture points and meridians there were marked in small, slanted and ugly characters.
The similarities and differences between the two are clearly marked.
Luo Qingzhou was stunned for a moment, and then he started to look at it seriously.
He didn't know whether the meridians and acupoints on the divine turtle were correct, but he knew the ones on the human body.
After he carefully read all the annotations on the human body, his expression suddenly became solemn.
The above standards turned out to be completely correct, and there were even a few more meridians and acupuncture points that he didn't know about!
Below the two pictures, there are a few lines of small words written in ugly, crooked handwriting.
"The longevity of the divine turtle lies in breathing in and out. Every breath in and out must follow the way of heaven..."
Luo Qingzhou read this small print carefully, and then quickly looked at the page on the right, which directly began to explain the differences between the human body and the divine turtle's acupoints, which acupoints are similar, and which acupoints can transport and store vitality energy, etc.
He watched carefully and quickly finished three pages. On the fourth page, he began to formally explain the breathing method.
"Long'er, you go out first and I'll give it a try."
He immediately walked to the corner and sat down, spread out the pages in his hand and placed them on the ground in front of him, ready to follow the above method to test it.
Long Er immediately withdrew, closed the door for him, and stood guard quietly at the door.
Luo Qingzhou memorized all the words on the page in his mind, then closed his eyes, read it over in his mind a few times, and then began to breathe in and out according to the above method.
"Breathe...breathe...breathe...breathe..."
After repeating it dozens of times, he immediately felt a trace of unfamiliar energy in his body, and then activated that energy. According to the operation method described in the book, it slowly circulated through the meridians and acupuncture points for two weeks.
At this time, as he breathed, he inhaled more and more energy, which merged with the initial trace of energy. After running for a few more weeks, he gradually sank into the Dan Sea, and actually merged with the internal force in the Dan Sea. .
He immediately urged the energy to come out together with the internal force, slowly transporting it to his arm, and then from his arm to his fist.
"Uh-huh!"
A fist light suddenly lit up on his fist!
The strange energy he had just absorbed and refined was actually able to punch directly!
"The vitality of heaven and earth is transformed into the vitality of the body..."
He opened his eyes and looked at the sentence on the page again.
Before the Grandmaster, it was internal power, but after the Grandmaster, it was Yuan Power? Yuan force seems to be purer than internal force, takes up less space, and is more explosive and powerful.
"The exercises recorded on this rice paper are actually real!"
He was pleasantly surprised, and at the same time, he felt a little confused. He immediately picked up the rice paper on the ground and looked through it carefully.
This set of exercises may really be ancient exercises practiced by the master, but the rice paper, words, and pictures...
No matter how you look at it, it looks like you found a piece of paper temporarily and drew and wrote on it directly with a brush. Moreover, the text and pictures explained in it are very concise and easy to understand. It looks like it was translated based on ancient exercises. of……
It should be impossible for Long Er to have this ability.
Then, there is only...
He was stunned, and immediately lowered his head to read it a few times. After memorizing all the words and pictures on it, he couldn't wait to look at another stack of rice paper.
Two large characters were written crookedly on the title page of the paper: "Fist".
Luo Qingzhou: "..."
This name is too perfunctory...
He turned to the first page. There was no nonsense on it. It directly drew a picture of a person making a punch. Below the picture, there was a paragraph of explanation text.
This time, Luo Qingzhou no longer had any doubts or hesitations, and immediately started reading carefully, memorizing all the pictures and text on every page in his mind.
After reading it three times in a row, he put away the rice paper, closed his eyes, and played it several times in his mind to make sure it was correct before standing up.
"Uh-huh!"
He took up his stance and threw the first punch slowly.
Then, the second punch, the third punch.
Each punch is not very fast, but very steady and powerful.
When he became more and more proficient in the moves, he immediately followed the Yuanli operation method recorded in his mind, shouted in his mouth, and punched out the energy transferred to his fist.
"Uh-huh!"
The fist light flew out of his hand, suddenly turned into a circle of fist shadows, and shot towards the wall not far away!
"boom!"
The wall carved with exquisite murals and hung with crystal gems was instantly punched with a circle of punch holes. However, the circle of punch shadows did not disappear. Instead, it penetrated directly through the wall and hit the stone pillar in another room next door!
"boom!"
There was an explosion, and the thick stone pillar was broken in the middle by flying stone fragments!
The whole room suddenly shook.
Long Er's voice immediately sounded outside the door: "Master, what's wrong?"
Luo Qingzhou froze for a moment and quickly retracted his fist.
He just couldn't help but try it, without using all his strength. Unexpectedly, the power of this punch was really quite powerful.
He was pleasantly surprised and hurriedly walked to the door and said, "Long'er, do you have a place here where you can set up formations and practice specifically? I want to go practice boxing."
Long Er opened the door, glanced at him, did not dare to delay, and quickly led the way: "Master, go to the place where Long Er usually practices. No matter how loud the Master makes, no one will hear him there." ."
Luo Qingzhou quickly followed behind.
Not long after, the two came to a spacious martial arts room.
After Long Er explained, he obediently withdrew and helped him close the stone door.
Luo Qingzhou closed his eyes first, recalled the moves recorded in his mind, and then continued to fight.
Time passed quietly.
It was already bright outside.
The sun rose slowly from the green mountains and soon reached the sky.
After Luo Qingzhou practiced boxing for a whole morning, he took a short rest and then began to practice inner skills and mind skills, breathing and exhaling, and quickly recovered the energy he had spent in the morning.
On the fifth day of the first lunar month, the sun was shining brightly.
Both sides of the Yunwu River are still covered with snow and silver.
On the hillside not far away, Qin Chuan was still practicing boxing there, and the beasts hiding in the forest were all trembling.
After Qin Chuan got up from bed at noon, he suddenly felt that he was about to break through.
The restlessness in his body came too suddenly, without any warning, and he made no preparations.
I thought it would take at least half a year of training before I could reach the realm of a great martial artist, but who knew it would be so far ahead of schedule.
Is it because he has been practicing diligently recently?
"boom!"
He punched suddenly and thought to himself: No matter what the reason is, as long as he breaks through to the realm of a great martial artist, he is qualified to go to Kyoto! Even if I can't save my eldest brother, I must get his body back! Otherwise, he will be in trouble for the rest of his life!
"Brother, wait for me..."
at the same time.
In Kyoto, in the imperial palace, the royal family members and the Ministry of Etiquette are busy preparing for tomorrow's wedding.
When the eldest princess of the royal family gets married, there are naturally many rules and regulations, ranging from worshiping heaven and earth to the positioning of etiquette personnel, which must be carefully and strictly regulated.
The various doors of the palace have already been decorated with lights, and a big red carpet has been laid out on the ground.
Of course, the invitations had already been sent out as quickly as possible.
While everyone was busy, Emperor Nangong Yang was practicing silently in a cave underground.
Sitting opposite him was Taoist Zijin, the master of Zijin Temple.
A flame rose in the corner, and the dancing flames reflected on the faces of the two people, flickering brightly and dimly.
And at the door, stood a tall figure wearing armor and golden skin. If you look closely, you can see that figure standing there motionless, with a dull face, empty eyes, and no breathing or heartbeat.
"Master, do you think Mr. Luo, whom my royal sister is interested in, will come tomorrow?"
Nangong Yang suddenly spoke, his eyes still closed.
The old Taoist priest sitting opposite him also closed his eyes and said, "Whether he comes or not, it won't have much impact."
A sly smile appeared on Nangong Yang's face, and he said: "That's true, but if he comes, I will personally vent my evil breath. My master taught me the bone-transforming claw, but I haven't used it on anyone yet, so I don't know how powerful it is." "
Immediately, he opened his eyes, and a look of excitement appeared on his tender cheeks: "If the emperor's sister saw with her own eyes that I took action and turned her most valued talent into bones with one claw, the emperor's face would definitely be filled with tears. The expression on it must be wonderful, right?”
Taoist Zijin suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, your strength cannot be exposed tomorrow."
Nangong Yang smiled and said: "Master, don't worry, I'm just talking. That humble son-in-law is not qualified to dirty my hands."
The two of them talked in a low voice again.
Nangong Yang closed his eyes and continued practicing.
