Apprenticeship at Qingcheng Mountain, Senior Brother Yu Canghai

Chapter 241 A Taoist sect that can be traced back to ancient times?
Practicing dual martial arts!

Wanwan, Shi Feixuan, and Fu Jun'er all looked at Chu Yuan with strange eyes.

They all wondered why there was a hint of pride in Chu Yuan's words.

Moreover, in this dilapidated temple, except Chu Yuan, the other three people are all women. Is it appropriate for Chu Yuan to talk about this matter so openly?

Although Wanwan is the Holy Maiden of the Demon Cult, she has never experienced sexual intercourse, so she can't talk to Chu Yuan.

She didn't dare to express any agreement or approval, otherwise she was afraid that Chu Yuan would think that the Saint of the Demon Cult was extremely open about matters between men and women, and would drag her to practice this dual cultivation martial arts!
So Chu Yuan's words silenced Wanwan.

After a moment of silence, Wanwan chuckled and said, "So, Taoist Qingyang is proficient in the art of dual cultivation. In fact, we in the Demon Sect also have a dual cultivation martial art called "The Great Law of the Beautiful Girl", but it has been lost for many years."

Chu Yuan said: "The Great Law of the Beautiful Woman... should be a martial art for assassination, right? It can injure people invisibly during intercourse between men and women. It is usually used by the demon sect to assassinate powerful people. It has nothing to do with dual cultivation!"

Chu Yuan vaguely remembered that it was only during the later period that the Yingui Sect and the Mieqing Sect joined forces to reunite the fragments scattered in the classics of the two sects.

Later, Wanwan's junior sister Bai Qing'er practiced and used this martial art to assassinate Li Yuan.

If it weren't for the rescue of Shuanglong who cultivated the immortal true qi, there would probably not have been the subsequent Xuanwu Gate Incident.

Wanwan: ...

No!
Taoist Priest, I was just saying it casually, do you really know that?

Do you really have to be so knowledgeable?
Wanwan felt that she did not understand the Demon Sect's martial arts as well as Chu Yuan did.

Wanwan was speechless for a moment and felt humiliated in front of Chu Yuan!

Phew!

Shi Feixuan next to her couldn't help but chuckle.

Shi Feixuan praised: "Master, you are really knowledgeable and you even know the martial arts of the Demon Sect."

Chu Yuan said: "It's OK."

Chu Yuan was not impressed by the appearance of Shi Feixuan and Wanwan, because in Chu Yuan's opinion, Cihang Jingzhai and Yinkui Sect were just like each other, relying on the outstanding looks of their disciples to travel around the world and stir up the world.

The nuns in Cihang Jingzhai are hypocritical and nosy, wanting to choose a prince charming for the people of the world. The evil women in the Yinkui faction are no less so.

On the surface, they are talking about love with others, but in fact, they are using their ideas to subtly influence these people, thereby indirectly achieving the goal of influencing the world situation.

When they first started dating, they were madly in love, but in the end they said they had different ideas and it became a spiritual relationship.

Isn’t this the origin of gold diggers and green tea lovers?

This is even more true for the Yinkui Sect, which emphasizes affection without desire. One cannot have sex with a man they like. Once they have sex with their lover, it will cause irreparable damage to the Yinkui Sect martial arts that they practice.

If you only talk about love but can't have sex, then what's the point of talking about love?

It’s okay with others, but not with your lover.

What kind of Tauren sect is this?

Chu Yuan suddenly lost interest in talking to the two girls.

He took out the "Secret of Immortality" from his arms, and with the light of the fire in the ruined temple, he looked at the sixth and seventh human body diagrams, and prepared to start practicing the sixth and seventh human body diagrams.

The seven human body pictures in "The Secret of Immortality" are marked with seven colors: yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, red and black by arrows.

The sixth human body diagram that Chu Yuan is going to practice is marked with a red arrow.

The seventh human diagram to be practiced is marked with a black arrow.

As Chu Yuan took out the "Eternal Life Secret", for a moment, the eyes of the Demon Sect Saint Wanwan, the Buddhist Saint Shi Feixuan, and Fu Jun'er who was sitting in the corner all fell on the map made of Zhang Xuan's golden thread in Chu Yuan's hand.

"Master Qingyang, is this the rumored 'Eternal Life Secret'?"

As she couldn't see clearly from too far away, Wanwan unconsciously moved closer to Chu Yuan, stretching her neck like a giraffe, looking at the "Eternal Life Secret" in Chu Yuan's hand, and smiled coquettishly.

Unfortunately, it was filled with oracle bone inscriptions and seven incomprehensible human body pictures, so she couldn't make out anything at all.

"good."

Chu Yuan replied without even raising his head.

Chu Yuan could even smell a refreshing, light but impressive fragrance as Wanwan approached, flowing into his nose, making him feel relaxed and happy.

I don’t know if it’s the unique body fragrance of women as rumored.

You evil woman, how dare you disturb my spiritual heart!
Chu Yuan was unaware of anything and continued to look at the "Eternal Life Secret" in his hand.

After Chu Yuan finished speaking, he ignored her again. For the first time, Wanwan felt the frustration of being a saint of the Demon Sect in front of a man.

However, "The Secret of Immortality" is one of the four great books in the world. It is said that it contains the secrets of immortality and breaking the void. The opportunity is rare, so Wanwan can only try her best to remember the contents above.

Remember as much as you can!
For such a rare book, even the little bits of content on it are extremely precious.

Compared to Wanwan, Shi Feixuan is much more reserved.

She is a Buddhist saint, so she has to be much more reserved.

She is not as fearless as the Holy Maiden of the Demon Sect, who can openly seduce people with her beauty.

I could only sit next to him, sitting upright from a distance, and looking at him with my beautiful eyes slanted.

But Chu Yuan took out the "Secret of Immortality" not to show it to them, but for his own practice.

In fact, after obtaining the "Eternal Life Secret" for more than two years, Chu Yuan had already memorized all the contents of the "Eternal Life Secret", especially the seven human body pictures.

However, when it comes to cultivation, the slightest mistake can lead to a huge loss, so we must not be careless.

So he took out "The Secret of Immortality" and compared the sixth and seventh human body pictures in the book in his mind.

After confirming that the human body diagram in his mind was correct, Chu Yuan put the "Eternal Life Secret" back into his arms.

"Men and women should not touch each other. I need to practice martial arts. Don't get so close to me."

Chu Yuan looked at Wanwan with disdain, then ignored the two women beside him and started practicing as if no one was around.

Wanwan: ...

Just now when Chu Yuan talked about the dual cultivation method between men and women, she didn't have this expression, but she didn't want to argue with Chu Yuan about it.

Although she tried very hard to remember it just now, she didn't remember anything because the time was too short.

Wanwan had no choice but to sit back in her original seat.

Shi Feixuan, who was standing next to her, heaved a sigh of relief when she saw this scene.

Since Cihang Jingzhai and Zhengdao couldn't get it, she naturally didn't want the Demon Sect to get the "Eternal Life Secret", even if it was just a part of it.

Wanwan, who had just returned to her previous position, looked at Shi Feixuan, and her eyes met Shi Feixuan's in the air.

"Humph!"

Wanwan snorted coldly, but Shi Feixuan looked at her calmly without saying a word.

But in the ruined temple, there was a sense of swords and sabers for a moment. If looks could kill, the two of them would have been killed countless times by each other's looks.

Chu Yuan was too lazy to pay attention to the fight between the two saints of Buddhism and Demon, and only focused on practicing the "Eternal Life Secret".

Time passed quietly and soon it was the next morning.

The fire in the dilapidated temple had long been extinguished, and the flints on the ground had turned to ashes, with only a little red and warmth remaining in the center.

As time passed, the darkness outside turned into day without anyone noticing.

Feeling a ray of sunlight falling on him through the broken and collapsed roof in the corner above his head, making him warm, Chu Yuan ended his training and opened his tightly closed eyes.

During this practice, when he opened his eyes, there was no flash of light in his eyes.

It's just that his eyes became clearer and brighter, like stars, and his temperament became more rustic, just like Chu Yuan was originally in a dilapidated temple, not attracting any attention like a stone or a tile.

Speaking of last night's practice, it went very smoothly.

The practice of the sixth and seventh human body diagrams is not like the first five human body diagrams, which take the five elements, five internal organs, and five orifices as the basis for practice, but takes yin and yang, movement and stillness as the core of practice.

Taoists believe that the human body is a small world that is connected to the outside world.

The natural world is divided into yin and yang, and the small world within the human body is also divided into yin and yang.

There is a sea of ​​yin meridians and a sea of ​​yang meridians in the human body!
The human body’s abdomen is yin and the back is yang!
The internal organs of the human body are yin and the viscera are yang. The liver, heart, spleen, lungs, and kidneys are yin.

There are yin and yang energies in the human body, and generally speaking, they are balanced.

Disease will occur if the yin and yang energies are out of balance.

The difficulty of the sixth and seventh human body diagrams lies in how to find a balance point of yin and yang in your own body while practicing the sixth and seventh human body diagrams at the same time.

Otherwise, they would be like Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, who only practiced one human body diagram and caused an imbalance of yin and yang in their bodies.

That would be like going astray.

It will be impossible to make up for it later.

Chu Yuan thought about it last night and decided to use the Yin Meridian Sea and the Yang Meridian Sea as the starting points for practicing the sixth and seventh human body diagrams.

However, compared with the first five human body pictures, the sixth and seventh human body pictures are much more complicated.

Although the progress of training last night was good, it would still take some time for Chu Yuan to get on the right track.

When Chu Yuan woke up after training, Wanwan and Shi Feixuan happened to see him. They were all moved and noticed the extraordinaryness of Chu Yuan. "It seems that what people say in the martial arts world is true. This Taoist Qingyang has really practiced the "Eternal Life Secret" successfully."

"This person is extraordinary. My master asked me to take the "Eternal Life Secret" from him, but I'm afraid it will be extremely difficult."

The two of them thought to themselves.

After the training, Chu Yuan stood up and said to Fu Jun'er, who had been meditating in the corner all night, "Let's go, let's continue on our journey."

After that, Chu Yuan said to Wanwan and Shi Feixuan: "Ladies, you want the "Eternal Life Secret" in my hand. It's not too late to act now, otherwise we will have to leave."

The purpose of Wanwan and Shi Feixuan is very clear. They are probably following the orders of their master and coming here for the "Secret of Immortality".

But the problem is that Chu Yuan has made great progress in practicing the "Eternal Life Secret" and has mastered the first five human body diagrams of the "Eternal Life Secret". They are not sure they can defeat him.

That's why we sat peacefully together in this dilapidated temple last night.

Wanwan's eyelashes curved, and her dark eyes turned as she said, "I am very interested in the Qingcheng Sect where Taoist Qingyang comes from. I wonder if I can go with Taoist Qingyang?"

Chu Yuan said indifferently: "As you wish."

As the saying goes, when enemies come, we will fight them with soldiers; when water comes, we will block it with earth. After arriving in Bashu, Wanwan will find that the so-called Qingcheng Sect is just a small sect that has only been established for two or three years.

Shi Feixuan also said: "It is the unshirkable duty of the righteous to protect the "Eternal Life Secret" from being seized by the evil ways. I also want to stay with Taoist Qingyang."

Chu Yuan waved his hand: "Since there is one more, one more will not hurt."

Wanwan was immediately displeased when she heard this: "The one who wants to seize the Secret of Immortality is probably your Cihang Jingzhai, right?"

Shi Feixuan glanced at him and said, "As a Buddhist sect, Cihang Jingzhai is of the same orthodox sect as Qingcheng Sect. How could we be interested in the "Eternal Life Secret" on Taoist Qingyang? Even if we have it, we will exchange it fairly. We are not like you demon sects who do things by any means necessary. If you see something you like, you will grab it directly."

Wanwan smiled and said, "How good can your Cihang Jingzhai be? As a Buddhist sect, the successive generations have flirted with so many men. I think you should stop fasting, chanting, and meditating. Instead, you should go to places of entertainment and become singers who sell their skills instead of their bodies."

Shi Feixuan was not angry either, she just looked at Wanwan quietly: "Hasn't your Yinkui sect always been doing things like this?"

Wanwan's expression was cold and fierce for a moment...

Seeing the two girls arguing and about to fight, Chu Yuan was too lazy to listen to them.

Just walk out of the ruined temple and get back on the road.

Fu Jun'er looked at Wanwan and Shi Feixuan who were confronting each other in the ruined temple, and quietly followed.

For a moment, only Wanwan and Shi Feixuan were left in the dilapidated temple.

After a quarter of an hour of confrontation, the two of them tacitly withdrew their gazes, left the ruined temple, and chased in the direction Chu Yuan left.

They were afraid that they were too far away from Chu Yuan, and it would be troublesome if they couldn't find Chu Yuan.

……

We passed through the Central Plains and arrived at Daxing Prefecture.

This was originally the new capital built by Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Jian, and was later moved to Luoyang by Emperor Yang Guang.

By the way, Daxing Prefecture was later called Xi'an Prefecture.

After passing Daxing Prefecture and crossing the Qinling Mountains, you will reach the territory of Bashu.

This return to Bashu is not like when Chu Yuan left Bashu two or three years ago.

At that time he was alone and could travel quickly using his light skills.

When they came back this time, they were accompanied by a wounded Goryeo assassin, as well as two saints from the Demonic Sect and the Buddhist Sect, so their speed suddenly slowed down.

But it is precisely because of this that Chu Yuan can truly see what life is like for ordinary people in the Sui Dynasty!
Along the way, we can only say that the imperial court was unjust, heavy taxes were imposed, the people were suffering, and bandits were everywhere.

In the vast land of China, most of the small villages are deserted except for piles of corpses.

It looked like it had been robbed by thieves, and the young and strong people who survived had probably already fled.

In order to protect themselves, large towns organized militias from local respected gentry to fight against thieves, and they were barely able to protect themselves.

In addition to bandits, some local officials even openly robbed the people in order to collect miscellaneous taxes, giving a scene of the end of a dynasty.

"I'm afraid the Sui Dynasty won't last for many more years."

After entering Bashu, the mountain roads were rugged, but this kind of situation became less common. Chu Yuan recalled what he had experienced along the way, and he said thoughtfully.

After hearing Chu Yuan's words, Shi Feixuan, who was walking beside him, said, "Since Yang Guang ascended the throne, he has been ambitious and has made many expeditions to Korea. He has also been extravagant and has built many palaces and villas. He has been on tours and imposed heavy taxes, making the people miserable. Bandits have sprung up everywhere, and local heroes have risen up and declared themselves kings. Now the Sui Dynasty is no longer as prosperous as it was when it was founded. There are indeed signs of the country's demise."

Wanwan teased beside him, "Why, seeing the chaos in the world, you, Cihang Jingzhai, still want to help Long Ting and find a true emperor for the world?"

It is no secret that the precious "He Shi Bi" is in the hands of Cihang Jingzhai, and the Yinkui Sect also knows about it.

Since the "He Shi Bi" is in his hands, the sects in the world have many speculations about the purpose of Cihang Jingzhai, but they are not so sure.

Shi Feixuan did not get angry, but said calmly: "If we can find a good emperor for the people of the world, why not?"

Chu Yuan was too lazy to pay attention to the two women's quarrel and automatically blocked their voices. He often heard them quarreling along the way and was almost used to it.

It was said that the Great Sui Dynasty was going to fall because of one person...

Yang Guang!

It is true that this man was ambitious as an emperor and wanted to destroy the Goryeo Kingdom and establish immortal merits.

The mistake was that Yang Guang fought three times but failed to conquer Goryeo. He was incompetent and playful, which wasted a lot of manpower and material resources. In the end, he was extravagant and built many palaces and villas, went on tours four times, levied heavy taxes, and overdrawn the manpower of the Sui Dynasty...

After the expedition failed, they didn't know how to live in peace with the people and restore the country's strength. They felt like they had thrown everything into the wind and were living a life of drunkenness and dreams.

He thought about how Yu Wenzhi had tried to recruit him and asked him to present the "Secret of Immortality" in exchange for a reward from Yang Guang, but he had not agreed.

Chu Yuan now felt that it was fortunate that he did not agree.

Chu Yuan felt that it was not worth it if he agreed to offer the "Secret of Immortality" and then assist such an emperor.

"Your emperor is a dog emperor. He attacked my Goryeo country three times in a row and failed. He made the people of Goryeo live in misery and made the country of Sui a mess."

Fu Jun'er was standing aside at this time, and said with a somewhat pleased look on her face.

Shi Feixuan and Wanwan were not surprised by Fu Jun'er's words.

They were already on the way and learned that this beautiful woman was a female assassin from Goryeo who failed in her assassination attempt on Yang Guang. On the way to escape, she heard about the "Eternal Life Secret" and wanted to try her luck here. However, she met the tough guy Chu Yuan and was captured by Chu Yuan.

Upon hearing this, Chu Yuan looked at Fu Jun'er with a strange expression.

To be honest, the demise of the Sui Dynasty was not a good thing for the Goryeo Kingdom.

Because what followed was the strongest dynasty in Chinese history, the Tang Dynasty, which is known as the "Strong Han and Prosperous Tang" together with the Han Dynasty.

After the strongest carbon-based creature on the earth ascended the throne in the seventh century, it would take only a few years for Goryeo to be defeated, and it would not be long before Goryeo would be destroyed by the Tang Dynasty.

But Chu Yuan would not tell Fu Jun'er about what would happen in the future, and everyone continued on their way.

Because the three women following Chu Yuan were all good-looking, they attracted the attention of many bandits along the way.

However, Chu Yuan didn't even have to take action, as Wanwan and Shi Feixuan took care of the bandit.

Chu Yuan quite enjoyed the feeling of having two saints leading the way by his side.

A month later, Chu Yuan and his companions returned from Jiangnan to Qingcheng Mountain after more than two years.

Wanwan and the other two looked at the mountain in front of them with curiosity.

I saw the peaks undulating and surrounding like several flying dragons entwined head and tail, the trees in the woods were lush and green, the mountains stood around like a city, there were winding paths leading to secluded places, and there were mountain springs dotted among them, full of fairy air.

Wanwan asked: "Is this the location of Taoist Qingyang's sect, the Qingcheng Sect? It is truly extraordinary!"

Shi Feixuan said: "Qingcheng Mountain seems to be a famous Taoist mountain."

As a Buddhist, she also knows something about Taoism.

"Yes, according to ancient legends in Qingcheng Mountain, there was a man named Ning Fengzi who practiced Taoism on this mountain. He later became the teacher of the ancient Yellow Emperor and taught him the "Dragon-riding Technique" of controlling the wind and clouds. Later, the Yellow Emperor built an altar for Ning Fengzi and worshipped him as the "Five Mountains Grandfather". The Yellow Emperor also built a temple for him, named "Grandfather Temple" in his memory."

"In addition, in the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Tianshi Zhang Daoling entered this mountain and built a hut to practice Taoism, and founded Taoism, which later became Taoism. Later, it was said that Tianshi Zhang ascended to heaven in this mountain."

Chu Yuan told the three people some stories about Qingcheng Mountain.

Wanwan and Shi Feixuan were speechless for a while.

Because it sounds like Qingcheng Mountain, where the Qingcheng Sect is located, has a very grand origin!

Looking back at history, there is no need to mention Zhang Daoling, a Taoist figure known to everyone in the world.

More importantly, Qingcheng Mountain can be traced back to the ancient period of Emperor Huangdi.

In comparison, their Buddhist and Demonic sects are far inferior. Not only is their founder not as famous as Zhang Daoling, but even if we trace back to the time when the sect was founded, it was only in the Western Han Dynasty.

For example, Qingcheng Mountain dates back to the ancient Yellow Emperor period.

In the minds of Wanwan and Shi Feixuan, Qingcheng Mountain is equivalent to the Qingcheng Sect.

Qingcheng Mountain has a long history, which can be traced back to ancient times, which is equivalent to the fact that Qingcheng Sect has a long history, which can be traced back to ancient times.

"Could this Qingcheng Sect really be a great Taoist sect that has been passed down from ancient times?"

Wanwan and Shi Feixuan said in their hearts at the same time.
