The next day.
"Three feet above the top, a column of bloody smoke!?"
"Qi and blood transform, and essence generates smoke!?"
After hearing what Longchenpa said, Hong Kang could roughly understand the meaning.
But he couldn't see it himself, so with a thought, his energy and blood surged like a dragon.
"Master, are you available now?"
Longchenpa closed his eyes and sensed it, nodded and said: "The energy is like smoke, ready to soar into the sky!"
Then, Hong Kang calmed down his Qi and blood and restrained himself into a round shape.
"Master, what now?"
"The bloody smoke column disappeared, but Master Hong's body was like a big furnace."
In this way, Hong Kang had some understanding of his situation.
Qi and blood surged, and for a while it was not possible to achieve the roundness everywhere.
As his eyes moved, Hong Kang thought of something.
"Master, since you can recognize this phenomenon of "energy producing smoke", could it be that someone in the past has practiced the "Dragon and Elephant Prajna Sutra" to this level?!"
"Or is it the founder??"
Longchenpa clasped his hands together and said, "No! Before Master Hong mastered it, I thought the records were just rumors."
"According to legend, Li Yuanba, the younger brother of Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, had a sickly face and skinny bones, but his arms were as strong as four elephants. Some Buddhists and Taoists who were good at looking at Qi once said that his essence turned into smoke nine feet above his head. .”
"Now that I see Master Hong, I know that the record is probably not false."
Hong Kang's heart moved.
If the records about Li Yuanba are true, then his power must be greater than his own.
I just don’t know if I am born with this magical power, or if I have achieved it through practice? !
Hong Kang praised: "Your religion has a long history and extensive records!"
"Amitabha~!"
Longqenpa said humbly: "Master Hong is very grateful. If it has a long history, it is the southern and northern holes in the Central Plains that are truly difficult for thousands of years!!"
"Hahaha... That is Wenzong's lineage after all..."
Hong Kang's words suddenly stopped.
His eyes suddenly tightened, as if he had been struck by thunder.
My heart was surging like a wave, and I thought to myself: "South Zhang Bei Kong...! I actually ignored them...!"
South Zhang and Beikong respectively refer to the "Confucius Family in Qufu" and the "Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain".
Hong Kang had previously focused on the Five Mountains Sword Sect, Sun Moon Sect, Shaolin, Wudang and other major martial arts sects.
But he ignored these two big dragons!
Who knows that the images of these two are too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, one Confucianism and the other, and their influence is entirely in places like Wenjiao and Taoism that are more ideological and spiritual.
However, this is not an ordinary historical world, two families that can be passed down for thousands of years. Hong Kang does not believe that they only exist as mascots.
The dynasty will change in hundreds of years. If these two families have no strength, how can they protect themselves in these turbulent times? !
At this moment, Hong Kang has two more targets.
Even if the family has had its ups and downs for thousands of years, its records in the classics are certainly not comparable to those of ordinary martial arts sects! !
Just enough for Hong Kang to explore the thousand-year changes in martial arts in this world.
As for the other party, he did not want outsiders to come and see the private collection of classics.
Hong Kang believed that he was the best at reasoning with people if he could reason with them.
What is the purpose of practicing martial arts? Isn’t it just to hope that the other person will listen well when you are trying to reason with others?
"The south is open and the north is open, it's not easy for a thousand years...!!"
……………………
More than two months passed.
Hong Kang and Longchenpa sat opposite each other.
Pang Qingyang and Xiao Zhaba sat beside them respectively.
What is boiling on the table over a low fire is butter tea, which is a unique drink of Tibetan people.
Longchenpa said: "It was "Gunmangya" a few days ago, and the disciples sent a batch of tea to try."
Hong Kang asked: "This "Gunmangjia" is...?"
Longchenpa explained: "Every major monastery in Tibetan areas has a certain tea collection festival. At that time, believers bring brick tea to the monastery to boil tea for us and distribute alms."
"I see."
Hong Kang is no stranger to butter tea. He has tasted it in previous lives, but this is the first time Pang Qingyang has tried it.
Xiao Zhaba first boiled water in a teapot, and after the water boiled, he crushed the pressed tea and put it into the boiling water to cook.
After about two-quarters of an hour, after the tea juice is leached, filter out the tea leaves, put the tea juice into a cylindrical butter tea bucket, and add an appropriate amount of butter at the same time.
Then, the little Zabaga people prepared a jar in advance, which contained fried and pounded walnuts, peanuts, sesame powder, pine nuts, etc.
Then, in the corner of Pang Qingyang's slightly twitching eyes, he added a small amount of salt, eggs, etc., then covered the butter tea tube, pulled the lever inside the tube hard, and pounded up and down rhythmically.
Longchenpa said: "This is to mix butter, tea and condiments into one."
Pang Qingyang said sarcastically: "This is very different from the way of drinking tea in the Central Plains."
Hong Kang said with a smile: "Qingyang, you didn't know this! Although making tea is popular now, in the Tang and Song Dynasties, making tea was popular, which is somewhat similar to this step."
"Making tea?"
It’s no wonder that Pang Qingyang doesn’t know. Unless they like it, who would go out of their way to understand the history of “tea”? !
Hong Kang said: "Yes, grind the tea leaves into powder and make tea balls. When drinking, mash the tea, add onion, ginger, orange peel, mint, dates and salt and other seasonings and boil together."
Pang Qingyang listened to Hong Kang's words, then looked at Xiao Zhaba's movement process, and nodded "I understand".
After a while, little Zaba filled several people with butter tea.
There were tiny bits of fine powder floating on the golden tea soup. Pang Qingyang straightened her nose and sniffed hard, and a rich aroma rushed into her nasal cavity.
"Huh? There's also a faint milky fragrance!"
"That's the aroma of ghee. It's a layer of fat that condenses on the surface after boiling milk or goat's milk, stirring and cooling."
Hong Kang picked up the tea bowl and took a sip.
Feeling the warmth rising in his lower abdomen, he said: "It's salty and fragrant, sweet and sweet, but it's still so delicious and fragrant!"
Longqenpa said: "Oh? Master Hong has drank it before?"
Hong Kang nodded.
Then, Hong Kang handed over a booklet.
"Master, this is Hong's experience in practicing the eleventh and twelfth levels of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Sutra. Please keep it, master."
Longchenba's face straightened and he took it with both hands.
He gently stroked the cover of the book, feeling slightly agitated.
After a long time, he looked at Hong Kang and said, "I will always remember the kindness of Master Hong."
Little Zaba looked at the booklet and then at Hong Kang.
Is this layman Hong so powerful? !
"Thanks to the great support of the master, Hong was able to eat the precious medicine like food."
Not to mention Hong Kang's own benefits, for more than three months, Hong Kang asked Pang Qingyang to drink a bowl of medicinal liquid every ten days. Therefore, Pang Qingyang's energy level was no longer inferior to that of Yue Buqun. These leaders of the older generation have grown up.
It was not because Hong Kang was unwilling to let Pang Qingyang take more medicine.
But if the amount of true energy increases too fast, her meridians will not be able to bear it, and it will also reduce Pang Qingyang's control over her own power.
After all, he is not Hong Kang. He is mentally attentive and able to adapt to the sudden increase in power in a very short period of time.
Over the past few months, Hong Kang's physical body has been slowly strengthening. He estimates that his strength has approached ten thousand kilograms! !
"Master, after this tea banquet, Hong will leave."
"...Did Master Hong also pass the last level?!"
Longchenpa asked.
In his mental perception, Hong Kang's strength has not changed significantly during this period! ?
Hong Kang shook his head and said: "That's not the case!"
