Apprenticeship at Qingcheng Mountain, Senior Brother Yu Canghai

Chapter 243: Ten Thousand Jin Strength
"As for why that happened just now..."

"It's the elders. The headmaster brought back three women. They told me in advance that I should behave properly and not weaken the momentum of our Qingcheng Sect or let outsiders look down on us..."

Chu Yuan's senior brother Kunyang said again.

As he spoke, he glanced at the supreme elders.

He felt that he was more comfortable in the Shangqing Temple when he, his master and his fellow apprentices were there.

Ever since the master passed away, the originally ordinary junior fellow disciple began to shine, turning the original Shangqing Temple into the current Qingcheng Sect, and all of a sudden there were more rules.

When he got along with his junior fellow apprentice Chu Yuan in the past, there weren't so many formalities and it was very casual.

Upon hearing this, Grand Elder Han Guang said, "A country has its own laws, and a family has its own rules. Without rules, there will be no order. Now that the Qingcheng Sect has been established and the Sect Master is in a high position, we must be polite when meeting the Sect Master, so as not to make a fool of ourselves."

Chu Yuan thought about it and felt that what Grand Elder Han Guang said made some sense.

But he still said: "We, the Qingcheng Sect, have only been established for a short time, so we don't have so many etiquettes. In the future, except in front of outsiders, there is no need to do so in private."

Chu Yuan then said to the Grand Elder Xuan Cheng: "Elder Xuan Cheng, there is no time to lose, you should leave for Yangzhou as soon as possible."

Including him, Shi Long, and Xuan Cheng, the Qingcheng Sect, which had just been established, now had three innate masters.

It is estimated that he is considered to be very powerful in the entire world.

Elder Xuancheng replied, "As you command."

Chu Yuan had been down the mountain for nearly three years. After returning to the mountain, he summoned the top leaders of the Qingcheng Sect to discuss the sect's affairs, and that was the end of it.

After the elders left, Chu Yuan left his senior brother Kunyang alone and asked, "Senior brother, how many levels have you reached in practicing the Nine Heavens Gangqi?"

Before he went down the mountain, he used his own skills to help his senior brother Kunyang open up eight meridians.

Logically speaking, more than two years have passed, and even if Kunyang has not opened up the twelve meridians and become a congenital master, he should be almost there.

Seeing Chu Yuan asking about his progress in martial arts training, Kunyang looked a little embarrassed. He touched his head and said nothing.

Chu Yuan said: "You are not still on the eighth floor, standing still?"

Kunyang said: "That's not the case, but I'm a bit stupid, and something went wrong when I was practicing the Nine Heavens Gang Qi. I don't know what level of the Nine Heavens Gang Qi I have reached now, and I didn't dare to tell others, for fear that others would laugh at me."

Chu Yuan asked: "What went wrong?"

Kunyang said: "I can't explain it clearly."

Chu Yuan said: "Brother, come over to me and I will help you check it out."

Upon hearing this, Kunyang walked up to Chu Yuan. Chu Yuan placed his right hand on his senior brother Kunyang's arm and transferred part of his internal energy into his senior brother Kunyang's body for examination.

After Chu Yuan checked, he found nothing unusual and was about to take back his own Qi from Kunyang: "The Qi in your Dantian Qi Sea and the Qi in your Jiang Palace are both normal. You have already opened up the eleventh meridian. Something is wrong..."

Chu Yuan's expression suddenly changed, and he asked with a puzzled look: "Why is the true energy in your body different from the true energy when I practiced the "Nine Heavens Gangqi" before?"

Kunyang explained: "Brother, during one of my training sessions, I accidentally opened up the wrong meridian. I was supposed to open up the Shaoyin Kidney Meridian, but I opened up another meridian instead. This meridian is neither one of the twelve regular meridians nor the eight extraordinary meridians. From then on, my Qi for training changed drastically, and I couldn't even use the protective Qi of the Jiuxiao Gangqi."

Chu Yuan pondered for a moment and then looked up: "Brother, please show me the meridian you opened up..."

Kunyang then pointed to several places on his head, including the top of his head, the center of his eyebrows, his throat, the center of his breasts, and his navel.

There are not many acupoints, but each one is located in the center of the body, forming a straight line.

Chu Yuan searched for information in his mind, and finally found the information about this meridian in the "Flame Blade" martial arts secret book that Jiumozhi lost to him in his previous life: "This is the central meridian, brother, you opened up the central meridian by chance!"

Kunyang was puzzled: "What is the central channel?"

Chu Yuan said: "The so-called central meridian refers to the two acupuncture points from Huiyin to Baihui. The straight line between the two points is the central meridian of the human body. This is not the theory of Central Plains martial arts, but the theory of a branch of Western Buddhism. I didn't expect that you, my senior brother, opened it by chance."

If Chu Yuan had not seen the "Flame Sword" martial art that Jiumozhi lost to him in his previous life, he probably would not have recognized this meridian.

This meridian is believed by the Tantric school of Tibetan Buddhism to be full of energy.

The energy of the central channel comes from the womb, which is also called the birth palace or root chakra in Tantric Buddhism.

The central channel is also called the "life channel" and the "great channel" in Tibetan Buddhism.

It is said that the central channel is the life root of all living beings. Some branches of Tibetan Buddhism also believe that the central channel is a shortcut to becoming a Buddha.

The Tantric martial art "Flame Sword" is about practicing certain acupoints on the central channel.

Kunyang worriedly asked, "Then opening up the central meridian won't have any impact on my practice of the Nine Heavens Gang Qi, right?"

"It's not clear yet." Chu Yuan shook his head and continued to ask: "After opening this central meridian, what changes have occurred in your body?"

Kunyang said: "My strength seems to have increased a lot. Although I can't use the protective qi, my body has become very hard. I have tried any weapon, including swords, spears, axes, and halberds, but none of them can cause any harm to my body."

Chu Yuan became interested when he heard this, and said to Kunyang: "Brother, show me a demonstration."

Kunyang said: "Brother, come with me."

Kunyang took Chu Yuan outside the house, and pointed to the square copper stove in the middle of the backyard with some burning candles inside and said, "Junior brother, this tripod weighs 1,200 kilograms. I can lift it with one hand."

As he spoke, Kunyang leaned over and grabbed one of the legs of the bronze tripod with his right hand.

Just like picking up a toy, he easily lifted the square bronze tripod on the ground and stood up. Judging from the height, it was already above his head.

When Chu Yuan saw this scene, a strange look flashed in his eyes.

Being able to lift a thousand-jin tripod with one hand effortlessly shows that Kunyang's strength far exceeds a thousand pounds.

Chu Yuan asked Kunyang: "Brother, how many of these tripods can you lift?"

Seeing that there was no one around, Kunyang said to Chu Yuan, "I went to the back mountain quietly to try it out. I was able to lift two stones as big as this bronze tripod."

A trace of surprise flashed across Chu Yuan's face again. Compared to the hollow interior of the bronze tripod, which was filled with incense ash, a piece of stone with the same area as the bronze tripod would weigh at least five times as much as the bronze tripod in front of him.

If he could lift two such big stones, then this senior brother of mine must be nearly ten thousand pounds strong, right?

Ten thousand jin doesn’t sound like a lot!

But in "Journey to the West", the monkey's golden hoop weighs only 13,500 kilograms.

If every punch and kick of my senior brother's, every move and style weighs ten thousand pounds, perhaps even the grandmaster can defeat him.

At this time, Shi Feixuan and Wanwan, who had just been taken away by the Qingcheng Sect disciples and settled in the guest room in the backyard of Qingcheng Sect, came out of the backyard under the guidance of the disciples. They happened to see this scene. Attracted by this scene, the two girls slowly walked towards Chu Yuan Kunyang.

Before this, Fu Jun'er was seriously injured by Chu Yuan in Yangzhou.

The next day, Chu Yuan took him back to Bashu. He didn't have a good rest along the way and his injuries had not yet recovered.

So after the Qingcheng Sect disciples arranged a room for him, he went straight to rest.

When Shi Feixuan and Wanwan came over, they happened to hear the conversation between Kunyang and Chu Yuan. They estimated in their minds and came to the same conclusion as Chu Yuan, and were also secretly shocked.

The two girls thought to themselves, "There are indeed many hidden talents in the Qingcheng Sect. In addition to the Sect Leader, Taoist Qingyang, there are other experts. His senior brother actually has a huge strength of 10,000 jin."

While Wanwan admired the Qingcheng Sect, she smiled coquettishly at Chu Yuan and said, "Master Qingyang, the Qingcheng Sect is truly extraordinary, and there are so many masters."

Shi Feixuan also said: "I didn't expect that in Qingcheng Sect, besides Taoist Qingyang, there is also a master like Senior Brother Qingyang."

Chu Yuan asked: "Have the two girls settled down on the mountain?"

Wanwan nodded her head and said, "I've settled down."

Shi Feixuan also said: "Thank you Qingcheng Sect for the hospitality."

Chu Yuan said, "I haven't been back for a long time. Brother, you may have some problems with your training. I'll help you take a look."

Wanwan asked in an uncertain tone, "Master Qingyang, can you help me check my training problems?"

Kunyang said at the side: "You are surprised by what you have seen. Even my martial arts were taught to me by my junior brother."

After that, Kunyang went to find the Taoist priest in the temple and asked for an oxtail knife. He handed it to Chu Yuan, took off the upper part of his Taoist robe, hung it on his waist, and said with his strong upper body bare: "Junior brother, you can use this knife to cut me without worrying about hurting me. Cut hard."

Chu Yuan ignored Wan Wan and Shi Fei Xuan who were confused and full of questions. He took the oxtail knife from Kun Yang and asked, "Really?"

As he spoke, Chu Yuan looked at the oxtail knife in his hand. He saw that the blade was smooth, the blade was thin, and the back of the knife was streamlined. It was obvious that this was a top-quality fine steel oxtail knife.

As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Yuan raised the oxtail knife in his hand high, and the endless innate true energy in his body gathered in his hand. A white blade light nearly a meter long appeared on the oxtail knife in his right hand.

In addition, after he has mastered part of the "Eternal Life Secret", he can draw on the power of heaven and earth.

As Chu Yuan raised his sword, in Kunyang's sight, Chu Yuan's originally ordinary sword seemed as if the entire world had turned into the sword in Chu Yuan's hand, about to chop towards him.

This scene was also seen by Shi Feixuan and Wanwan. They saw that although Chu Yuan did not know the sword technique, his sword had reached the level of using the power of heaven and earth.

He is much more powerful than many swordsmen with superb swordsmanship in the world.

"Is it because of practicing the "Eternal Life Secret"?"

Wanwan was secretly frightened.

If it is really because of practicing the "Secret of Immortality", then this "Secret of Immortality" must be seized.

This is also the task assigned to her by her master Zhu Yuyan and the sect.

Chu Yuan’s strength also frightened her.

She thought she was not sure that she could take the knife from Chu Yuan's hand.

"The Secret of Immortality is truly extraordinary."

Shi Feixuan also said in her heart at the same time.

At first, she was worried that the "Eternal Life Secret" in Chu Yuan's hands would be taken away by the Demon Sect.

Now it seems that unless Zhu Yuyan or those old monsters from the Demon Sect take action, neither she nor Wanwan can seize the "Eternal Life Secret" from Chu Yuan by relying on martial arts.

"No, no, no, Junior Brother. I am too weak to take your blow. Reduce your power by more than half, to 20% or 30% of the original power. Just chop me."

Seeing this scene, Kunyang was so scared that he waved his hands repeatedly. Although his body was invulnerable to swords and guns, it depended on who he was fighting with.

He is not afraid of ordinary acquired masters at all.

But if it was his talented junior brother who created the "Nine Heavens Sutra", he felt that he would not be able to withstand more than one move from Chu Yuan.

Because the gap in strength between the two is too big.

Upon hearing this, Chu Yuan no longer used the ability to achieve the state of unity between man and nature in the "Eternal Life Art", but simply used the true energy of the "Eternal Life Art" to activate the oxtail knife in his hand. The white blade light on the oxtail knife immediately shortened to three feet, and it slashed towards Kunyang.

This time Kunyang did not continue shouting.

At the same time, the oxtail knife in Chu Yuan's hand slashed towards Kunyang.

Kunyang's upper body turned completely red and white. His height, which was originally over six feet, suddenly increased to over seven feet. Chu Yuan slashed at Kunyang's body with his knife.

boom!
There was a very sharp and deafening sound of metal colliding between Kunyang's body and the oxtail knife.

The Qingcheng Sect Taoists who were passing by not far away, as well as Wanwan and Shi Feixuan, were caught off guard and their eardrums were stung by the sound, so they covered their ears with their hands.

Chu Yuan saw that his senior brother Kunyang was unharmed, and then he looked at the oxtail knife in his hand, only to see that the blade of the knife had been bent.

click!
The next moment, a crack appeared in the center of the back of the oxtail knife, extending towards the blade and the edge. Right under Chu Yuan's eyes, the oxtail knife actually broke.

Dang rang~
The upper half of the oxtail knife fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

Chu Yuan looked at his senior brother with surprise.

It turns out that this senior brother of mine didn't get Guo Jing's script, but Gou Ge's script!

In the original plot, Gou Ge also mistakenly practiced the "Arhat Subduing Demon Skills" that Motian Jushi deliberately taught him on the clay figure, and eventually practiced it in reverse to become the "Mysterious Ice and Green Fire Skills"!
The current senior brother is in the same situation as Brother Gou.

Dragon Elephant Prajna Kungfu + Vajra Indestructible Kungfu =???

Senior brother Kunyang, who had practiced "Nine Heavens Gang Qi" incorrectly, has now completely transformed "Nine Heavens Gang Qi" into another martial art.

This martial art possesses immense strength, invulnerability to swords and spears, and indestructibility.

Chu Yuan felt that the magical skill that his senior brother Kunyang had mastered by chance was fully qualified to be used as the Qingcheng Sect's protective magic skill.

"Alright, brother, you can stop now."

Chu Yuan threw the half-broken knife in his hand to the ground, and said to his senior brother Kunyang, who was still covered in red and white and looked like a little giant.

After hearing Chu Yuan's words, Kunyang began to finish his training.

The red and white color on his body faded at a speed visible to the naked eye, and soon his skin color returned to normal, and his body shape and height also returned to their original size.

"Junior brother, there's nothing serious about my mistakes in training. I'm not going crazy, am I?"

After his body recovered, Kunyang put on his Taoist robe and asked Chu Yuan beside him.

"No problem, and I haven't gone too far."

Chu Yuan nodded.

"but……"

Chu Yuan paused.

"But what?"

Kunyang's expression became nervous.

"But just because there are no problems now doesn't mean there won't be any problems in the future. The 'Nine Heavens Gang Qi' I created is a martial art that uses a breath of innate true qi to cultivate a protective Gang Qi. The protective Gang Qi allows the practitioner to be invulnerable to swords and guns, and immune to water and fire. But now the martial art you are practicing has added the central meridian, so the original 'Nine Heavens Gang Qi' has become a martial art that allows the practitioner to have a huge force of ten thousand pounds, an indestructible body, and internal and external cultivation at the same time."

"The good news is that you have created a martial art that suits you best by chance, and this martial art is a perfect match for you."

"The bad news is that it is still unclear whether continuing to practice this martial art will cause harm to your body."

Chu Yuan looked at his senior brother Kunyang and said.

Just like how although Brother Gou practiced the "Arhat Subduing Demon Skill" in reverse and did not die, he had several near-death experiences.

If Brother Gou hadn’t been lucky and able to escape danger every time, he would have died countless times.

The same principle applies to the martial arts that Senior Brother Kunyang mastered by chance.

Just because everything is fine now doesn’t mean it will be fine in the future.

Kunyang asked anxiously, "Brother, what should I do? Can I stop practicing this martial art now?"

Practicing martial arts is inherently dangerous. Chu Yuan had told him before that if anything went wrong, one would go astray and even if he didn't die, he would be half-crippled and suffer from irreparable injuries.

Chu Yuan said: "Practice, why not practice? This martial art was created by you, brother, and it is also the most suitable martial art for you. If you don't practice it, wouldn't it be a waste of the opportunity given by God?"

In Chu Yuan's opinion, martial arts have a degree of compatibility.

Although the "Nine Heavens Gangqi" he created is suitable for many people, it may not be suitable for his senior brother Kunyang.

Kunyang was born tall, and the martial arts he created by chance were the most suitable for him.

His huge size, coupled with this martial art, makes him simply invincible.

Kunyang said worriedly: "But..."

Chu Yuan comforted him: "Don't worry, Brother, I'm here. If you encounter any abnormality in your practice, come to me and I will help you solve it."

With Chu Yuan's promise, Kunyang felt relieved and no longer had the idea of ​​giving up.

"Brother, although this martial art is derived from the Nine Heavens Gang Qi, since it was created by you, a martial art that is completely different from the Nine Heavens Gang Qi, you should give it a name!"

Chu Yuan continued.

"How about calling it 'The Power of the Vajra'?"

Kunyang Road.

Chu Yuan stroked his head when he heard this. He thought that his ability to name things was poor, and his senior brother Kunyang was about the same as him.

Chu Yuan couldn't help but think of one of the 72 unique skills of the Shaolin Temple in later generations - "The Powerful Vajra Palm".

Ah!
There is also "The Powerful Diamond Leg"!
Chu Yuan helped Kunyang revise it: "How about calling it "Vajra Supporting Heaven Divine Art"?"

Kunyang said happily: "Okay, this name is good. Junior brother is indeed a junior brother. The name he chooses is better than mine."

Chu Yuan felt that this name was just average.

But it's much better than "The Power of Vajra".

And everything that just happened was seen by Wanwan and Shi Feixuan.
