The world of film and television starts from the flow of money

"Good eyesight."

A hint of surprise flashed across Ren Woxing's eyes, and he nodded. Then his expression became serious again: "It's a pity that the last three sentences are missing."

This missing formula has been a knot in his heart for twelve years. He has tried to complete it countless times, but always to no avail.

Upon hearing this, Yi Huawei, without any hesitation, suddenly put his fingers together like swords and carved out the incomplete paragraph on the blue brick beside him: "But 'The sky is like the sea, the qi rushes into the Xuan Ji, the Ren and Du meridians are hanging upside down'?" His movements were smooth and he was fully focused when carving the words.

When Ren Woxing heard this, his pupils suddenly shrank, and his eyes were full of shock. This kid obviously didn't know the secret of absorbing stars, but now he has completed the key that he has been thinking about for twelve years but still can't get. Shocked, he subconsciously swung the iron chain, and the iron chain sprang up like a poisonous snake, and at this time Yi Huawei's palms were already pressing on the cold stone wall.

"Senior Ren, please take a look."

As Yi Huawei spoke, he continued to carve on the blue bricks. The blue brick fragments fell off, revealing a complete exercise diagram.

"The Shaoyang Meridian of the Hand should go through a branch channel here, rather than going straight to the Fengfu acupoint. The Northern Song Dynasty's "Yunji Qiqian" states: 'The flow of Qi is like mercury, and it changes when it encounters stagnation.' When the elders of your sect forced the Xiaoyao Sect to change its mental method, I'm afraid they misunderstood the true meaning of the word 'change'."

Ren Woxing listened to Yi Huawei's words, half believing and half doubting, and secretly practiced the Star Absorbing Technique, trying to absorb the surrounding power. However, at the moment he practiced the power, a dense cyclone emerged from Yi Huawei's palm and suddenly pushed him back.

Ren Woxing groaned and stumbled back. The water in the dungeon was originally calm, but now it moved without wind, forming a vortex between the two of them. The water spun rapidly, as if responding to the invisible power confrontation between the two.

Ren Woxing steadied himself and looked at Yi Huawei. The shock in his heart was gradually replaced by a complex emotion. This seemingly young boy could have such a unique insight into the Star Absorbing Technique. Recalling the twelve years he had been trapped here, he had spent countless days and nights studying this technique, but was always troubled by the missing formula and some difficult points. Now, the appearance of Yi Huawei seemed to have opened a new door for him.

"Where did you know this?"

Ren Woxing asked, with a hint of urgency in his voice. This might be the key for him to completely master the Star Absorbing Technique and defeat Dongfang Bubai.

Yi Huawei stood up straight, looked at Ren Woxing, and said slowly:
"I happened to read an ancient book in the Huashan Sect's library. There were some records about the veins of the exercises. Although they are not exactly the same as the Star Absorbing Technique, they gave me some inspiration. Combined with the omissions that the senior just mentioned, I boldly speculated these."

"There is a fish in the North Ming Dynasty, and its name is Kun."

After a pause, Yi Huawei stretched out his fingers and moved them across the wall, outlining a series of meridian diagrams: "What Zhuangzi meant by sea transport is not to seize it by force, but to follow it. Senior Ren, please take a look -"

As he spoke, he took a step forward and his fingertips lightly stroked the sleeve of Ren Woxing's robe.

With a hiss, fine ice crystals appeared where the cloth was torn. Ren Woxing's eyes fixed on it and he picked up the ice. He was shocked and his expression changed. "Is this... melting water into ice?"

Yi Huawei looked calm and nodded slightly: "The dungeon is damp. I just condensed the moisture I inhaled into my palms."

When he spread out his right hand, three palm lines were clearly visible, with faint blue marks.

"The Star Absorbing Technique forcibly extracts internal energy, just like panning for gold in the sand; whereas the Northern Ocean Divine Art is like directing water into a canal, using the power of heaven and earth. The difference between the two lies in whether there is room left for the Tanzhong acupoint."

Yi Huawei looked at Ren Woxing, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile: "Senior Ren, do you know why the practitioners of the past generations could not live beyond sixty years?"

Without waiting for Ren Woxing to answer, he continued:
"Because you use Tanzhong as a warehouse, and Beiming Gongfa uses it as a furnace."

Ren Woxing was horrified. This young man in front of him, at such a young age, actually had such a profound understanding of martial arts. He subconsciously shouted, "Boy, are you a human or a ghost?"

In shock, Ren Woxing suddenly attacked, his body was as fast as lightning, and his ten fingers instantly grabbed Yi Huawei's shoulder well acupoint. He used all his strength in this move, thinking that he could control Yi Huawei, but he didn't expect that this time he didn't trigger the power absorption. Instead, he felt that his internal energy was like a drop in the ocean, and it would never come back.

"I see!"

Yi Huawei's eyes sparkled, and his shoulders shook violently, and he broke free from Ren Woxing's shackles. He kept moving, and pointed his fingers like swords at Ren Woxing's chest.

“Master, please guide the Qi into the Shaoyin Meridian, turn around Zusanli, and pass…” Yi Huawei said as he performed some techniques, trying to guide Ren Woxing’s internal energy to flow.

However, something unexpected happened.

Before he finished speaking, Ren Woxing suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood, which splashed onto the floor of the dungeon, making a sizzling sound. Immediately afterwards, white mist rose from his body, as if he was in a cloud.

Upon seeing this, Yi Huawei's expression froze, and without hesitation, he slapped the seven vital points on his back like lightning. Every time he struck, a sound of metal and stone was heard.

For a moment, palm shadows were flying in the dungeon, and Ren Woxing's figure was looming in the white mist.

Every move of Yi Huawei was extremely precise. His eyes were fixed on Ren Woxing. As his palm strikes continued to fall, the white mist gradually dissipated.

When the white mist dissipated, Ren Woxing's hair stood on end, his face was filled with ecstasy, and he laughed wildly towards the sky: "My belt meridian, which has been unopened for 30 years, has been opened by you, kid!"

The laughter echoed in the dungeon for a long time.

Yi Huawei adjusted his internal energy and looked at Ren Woxing:
"To the north of the end of the world there is a dark sea, the water hits three thousand miles. It is powerless to bear a large boat, but it can carry a large wing with the wind. Hundreds of rivers flow into the river, and the great valleys receive it but are not filled. The sea does not refuse water, so it becomes deep; the work does not reject qi, so it builds its truth. There is a time to take and use, and a degree to refine and transform, just like the law of nature, which increases and decreases, and it repeats itself..."

"The Star Absorbing Technique was created by the elders of the Sun and Moon Sect during the Northern Song Dynasty, who obtained the fragments of the Northern Ocean from the Xingxiu Sect and combined them with the principles of the 'Energy Transformation Technique' in the 'Secrets of the Five Poisons'. However, because it lacks the refining method in 'The Divine Book Has Gone with Xiaoyao', it will cause the true qi to backfire."

Ren Woxing listened quietly, and became more and more curious about Yi Huawei's background. How could a young man know so much about these underworld secrets?

Yi Huawei paused for a moment, as if recalling something.

"According to the records I have checked, the Bei Ming Divine Art was created by the Xiaoyao Sect. During the Yuanyou period of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Xiaoyao Sect's successor, Xiaoyao Zizi, engraved the technique on the Wuliang Jade Wall in Dali. Later, he practiced the Qi diagram again and added the nine styles of 'Kunpeng Transformation'. Until a Shaolin monk integrated the mental method into the Shaolin Heart Sutra and created the 'Small Wuxiang Gong' branch. During the Zhizheng period of the Yuan Dynasty, the fragments flowed into the Western Regions and evolved into 'The Great Shift of the Universe'."

After listening to this, Ren Woxing couldn't help but exclaimed: "You really are well-versed in history and the present!"

Yi Huawei bowed slightly and said, "Thank you for your praise, Senior. It was just by chance that I came across some fragments of ancient books, which gave me this understanding."

Ren Woxing's eyes fell on Yi Huawei, and he thought to himself. This young man in front of him is definitely not an ordinary person. If he can be recruited to the Sun Moon Sect, it will definitely add a powerful force to the Sun Moon Sect.

"Boy, are you willing to join my Sun Moon Sect?"

Ren Woxing suddenly spoke, staring at Yi Huawei with a hint of expectation in his eyes.

"Haha~"

Yi Huawei smiled slightly and shook his head: "As long as I am a Huashan man, I will be a Huashan man for life. I will never join the Sun Moon Sect."

Hearing Yi Huawei's refusal without hesitation, Ren Woxing's palm was filled with black energy, and the water on the ground quickly condensed under his palm power, and in the blink of an eye it turned into an ice mirror. In the ice mirror, his slightly distorted face was reflected. He stared straight at Yi Huawei and said in a low voice:

"The martial arts world is like a chess game. If you are not the one holding the pieces, you will be the pieces on the board. Do you know why the 100,000 members of the Ming Cult fell apart when Yang Dingtian died suddenly on Guangmingding?"

"Because their teachings stop at 'burning my remains', they are ultimately trapped by sectarianism."

Yi Huawei looked calm as he slowly walked to the stone wall, dipped his finger in the water on the ground, and sketched a river map on the stone wall. As his words fell, the water marks seemed to come to life, flowing naturally and forming the shape of Tai Chi on their own.

"What a bigoted view!"

Ren Woxing waved his sleeves fiercely, and a powerful palm force attacked the ice mirror, which shattered instantly and turned into countless ice chips that scattered all over the ground:
"The Sun Moon Sect encompasses seventy-two caves and thirty-six islands. How can it ever be so rigid about the distinction between good and evil? If I could take over the sect again..." "It would only be the second Ming Cult."

Yi Huawei interrupted Ren Woxing and tapped the Tai Chi on the wall with his fingertips, making a crisp sound: "Senior Ren, do you know the difference between Dayu's flood control and Gun's flood control?"

Ren Woxing's pupils shrank slightly, and he keenly noticed that the sound of the young man's knocking actually matched the rhythm of his heartbeat. Each sound fell precisely at the moment of ventricular diastole. This strange rhythm could actually disturb other people's inner breath.

"Gun built a dam to block the river, while Yu dredged it to lead it into the sea."

Yi Huawei stretched out his palm and gently stroked the stone wall. The water stains flowed along with the movement of his palm: "In today's Jianghu, Zuo Lengchan is Gun, and Senior Ren is also Gun."

Ren Woxing's hair and beard stood up, and he shouted angrily: "How dare you!"

In an instant, the water in the dungeon seemed to be controlled by an invisible force, surging up and forming thick water columns that rushed towards Yi Huawei.

However, when these water jets touched the corner of the young man's clothes, they seemed to encounter an invisible barrier and quietly diverted.

Yi Huawei stood there, motionless, and continued calmly:

"The Songshan Sect used the leader's order to suppress the Five Mountains, and the Divine Sect used the Three Corpse Pills to control its subordinates. Both of these were methods of obstruction. The Guangmingding Rebellion was caused by the sudden death of Yang Dingtian, which led to the collapse of the dam."

Ren Woxing suddenly raised his head and laughed wildly, shaking off the moss on the ceiling with his laughter: "How dare you, a young boy, talk nonsense about the world! Do you know that if I get out of this prison, I can gather 5,000 old men in three days and conquer Black Wood Cliff in half a month?"

"And then? Even if you dominate the martial arts world, what good will that do?"

Yi Huawei smiled.

"What a big tone?"

Ren Woxing sneered, "What if it was you?"

"We should follow the example of Emperor Wen and Emperor Jing."

Yi Huawei's eyes flashed, and with his finger as sharp as a knife, he carved the reign title of the early Han Dynasty on the brick surface: "Before Emperor Wu of Han attacked the Xiongnu in the north, Emperor Wen and Emperor Jing of Han had been recuperating for sixty years. How can we expect the evils accumulated over a hundred years to be cleared up overnight?"

Ren Woxing suddenly fell silent, staring at the ground, and saw that the brick scraps, under the influence of Yi Huawei's inner strength, were arranged into an excerpt from "Salt and Iron Theory". He was amazed in his heart that this boy's inner strength had reached the level of transforming things into shapes.

"Senior Ren, please take a look."

Yi Huawei mobilized his internal strength, attracted the water vapor in the air, and condensed a picture of the Grand Canal in the air: "Emperor Yang of Sui dug the canal for the purpose of conquest, but it benefited future generations for thousands of years. If the Divine Religion can turn the power of the Three Corpse Pill into a merit for saving the world..."

"absurd!"

Ren Woxing swung his palm fiercely, smashing the water map into pieces: "Without fear, how can there be submission?"

"Fear is like the snow, kindness is like the sun."

Yi Huawei took a step forward, and the broken ice under his feet quickly melted into spring water under the action of his inner strength: "Zhu Yuanzhang destroyed the Ming Cult and established the Ming Dynasty because he realized the nine-character mantra of 'build high walls, store up food, and slowly claim the throne'."

Ren Woxing suddenly flashed and grabbed the young man's pulse point, his ten fingers like hooks, tightly grasping Yi Huawei: "If you think so, what's the use of martial arts?"

Yi Huawei did not resist at all, allowing Ren Woxing to hold his vital points, and said calmly: "In the past, Bodhidharma faced the wall for nine years, not to dominate the martial arts world. The opening of his book "Yi Jin Jing" says: 'If you want to see the Tathagata, you must first understand your own body'."

"Hypocrisy!"

Ren Woxing immediately activated the Star Absorbing Technique, trying to absorb Yi Huawei's internal energy. However, he felt that the other party's internal energy was like spring rain, warm and gentle, and difficult to shake.

“You…what are you doing…?”

"Northern Qi."

Yi Huawei's eyes showed a trace of compassion: "The sea embraces all rivers not to take them for oneself, but to let the rivers have their proper places. Senior, you have been practicing the Star Absorbing Technique for thirty years. Have you ever seen the red spots of the Big Dipper appearing on the Tanzhong acupoint?"

Upon hearing this, Ren Woxing staggered, let go of his hand, and subconsciously tore open his clothes - the seven cinnabar moles on his chest were clearly visible.

“This is a sign of blockage in the Shaoyin Meridian of the Hand.”

Yi Huawei pointed in the air, and the internal force in his body surged, drawing a map of the human meridians in the air.

"The Qihai, Tanzhong and Jiuwei points feel like being pricked by needles every rainy night, is that right?"

Ren Woxing remained silent. He had never told anyone about these symptoms, but Yi Huawei knew them all.

"Golden Chamber Essentials" says: 'The best doctor treats illness before it occurs.'" Green light burst out from Yi Huawei's fingertips, and he kept outlining the details of the meridians in the air: "In today's martial arts world, Zuo Lengchan is a mediocre doctor who treats symptoms instead of symptoms, Dongfang Bubai is a witch doctor who uses poison to fight poison, and Senior Ren..."

"enough!"

Ren Woxing shouted, interrupting Yi Huawei's words: "If you were sitting on this chessboard, how would you make your move?"

"The first step is to use the cold spring water in the Plum Manor dungeon to cure the senior's hidden illness. The second step is to use the Black Wood Cliff as a furnace to recast the Three Corpse Pills into a holy medicine to remove poison. The third step is to establish a ten-year truce between the Five Mountains Sword Sect and the Divine Religion."

Yi Huawei said calmly: "During this period, many martial arts schools were set up, and the unique skills of each school were broken down into twelve foundation-building moves, so that even peddlers and hawkers could strengthen their bodies."

This was the first time that Yi Huawei opened his heart to someone and expressed his thoughts.

"ridiculous!"

Ren Woxing crushed a brick and said, "If the secret skills are passed on to others, how can the sect survive?"

“Thus, in the Song Dynasty, movable type printing made classics accessible to ordinary people.”

Yi Huawei looked directly into Ren Woxing's eyes with a burning gaze:

"A scholar from a poor family can still leap into the dragon gate, so why does practicing martial arts require a certain level of talent?"

The dungeon suddenly fell into silence. Ren Woxing stared at the "Map of the Nine Provinces in the Tribute of Yu" painted on the wall with water stains.

"Senior Ren, do you know why the Mohist mechanical art was lost?"
