Apprenticeship at Qingcheng Mountain, Senior Brother Yu Canghai

Chapter 247: Success in "The Secret of Immortality", Seven Diagrams of Practicing Together
According to Chu Yuan's calculations, it has been only two years since Yang Guang was killed and the world fell into chaos.

Accepting this imperial edict will not bring any benefits except for the title.

The key is to present the "Secret of Immortality" to that tyrant.

Although Chu Yuan is almost done now and has almost mastered the "Eternal Life Secret", his demand for the "Eternal Life Secret" has greatly decreased, but he has no intention of presenting it to Yang Guang.

It would have been too late if it had been a few years earlier.

Yang Guang used the position of national teacher and the establishment of Qingcheng Sect as the state religion as bait, and Chu Yuan might really agree to his request.

However, Chu Yuan at that time had not yet awakened his memory, nor had he founded the Qingcheng Sect.

So this assumption is not valid at all.

"How dare you destroy His Majesty's decree..."

Yu Wenzhi also looked at Chu Yuan with cold eyes, his eyes were filled with worry and anger.

Before he came to Qingcheng Mountain, he thought he would be rejected by Chu Yuan, but he did not expect that Chu Yuan would be so bold as to destroy His Majesty's edict in front of him.

"Why don't I dare?"

Chu Yuan looked at Yu Wenzhi.

Now that rebel armies are rising up all over the country, Emperor Yang Guang can hardly save himself. Apart from the Sui court, I am afraid that no one will take Yang Guang's imperial edict seriously.

As he spoke, Chu Yuan grabbed Yu Wenzhi with his right hand again, and the power of Yin and Yang gushed out. Before Yu Wenzhi could react, he immediately felt a terrifying suction force controlling his body.

His body fell into Chu Yuan's hands without any resistance.

"Heavenly and Earthly Palm"!
As Chu Yuan has now made great progress in practicing the "Eternal Life Secret", this set of palm techniques in his hands can already exert unpredictable power.

Just when Yu Wenzhi was about to use the "Xuanbing Jin" to resist, he found himself in Chu Yuan's hands, with his neck caught in Chu Yuan's mouth. Yu Wenzhi had no choice but to give up.

"Please tell the emperor a message. I won't provoke the court, and the court had better not provoke me. Otherwise, I don't mind going to Jiangdu for a trip."

Chu Yuan said to Yu Wenzhi who was in his grasp.

The last time they met, Yu Wenzhi, who was able to hold out for a few moves at his hands, now had no power to resist at all at his hands and was not even his match in a single move.

After saying this, he let Yu Wenzhi go.

Yu Wenzhi looked at Chu Yuan in front of him. He was horrified and his face was gloomy.

He was shocked because he didn't expect that last time in Yangzhou, he could barely fight with Chu Yuan, but now that they met again, he had no power to resist Chu Yuan.

This shows that Chu Yuan's martial arts skills have improved greatly after that.

How long has it been?
How strong a talent and aptitude for martial arts must be for such a monster to appear in the world.

"let's go."

After coming to his senses, Yu Wenzhi said to his counselor Zhang Shihe behind him.

There was nothing worth talking about anymore, since Chu Yuan had no fear of the imperial power at all. He not only destroyed Yang Guang's imperial edict, but also threatened to go to the Jiangdu Palace.

This was the case even for Emperor Yang Guang, let alone himself, the messenger who conveyed the emperor's will.

If you don't leave now and continue to stay here, you will only bring shame upon yourself.

If the other party killed him in anger, he would have no place to seek justice.

After saying this, Yu Wenzhi left.

Seeing Yu Wenzhi leaving, Zhang Shihe, Yu Wenzhi's adviser who had just scolded Chu Yuan, looked a little nervous, fearing that Chu Yuan would be jealous of him and kill him. Fortunately, he didn't do that.

From beginning to end, Chu Yuan did not take the counselor Zhang Shihe and his words seriously and completely ignored him.

Under the watchful eyes of a group of Taoists, the master and servant successfully walked out of Shangqing Palace, went down Qingcheng Mountain, and camped at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain to meet up with the 5,000 imperial guards who followed Yu Wenzhi south this time.

The counselor Zhang Shihe looked at the fairy mountain behind him, which was covered with lush trees and numerous peaks, and asked Yu Wenzhi beside him: "General Manager, that Taoist Qingyang destroyed the emperor's edict. What should we do next?"

Yu Wenzhi remained silent. He had already messed up the task assigned to him by Yang Guang once.

If he fails again this time, Yang Guang will probably completely lose trust in him, and he himself will be punished.

After a moment of silence, Yu Wenzhi asked Zhang Shihe: "What is the current situation in the world?"

As his adviser, Zhang Shihe's responsibilities included collecting information in addition to offering advice.

"Very pessimistic." Zhang Shihe said: "Yang Xuangan rebelled two years ago, and although he was quickly defeated by the imperial army, since then, the rebel armies of Zhai Rang Wagangzhai, Dou Jiande, Du Fuwei, Lin Shihong and others have repeatedly defeated the imperial army and grown stronger. The situation in the country has continued to deteriorate, and there are many treacherous people in the court who have deceived the emperor, so that the emperor does not know that rebel armies have appeared in many places across the country."

Yu Wenzhi said nothing when he heard this. As Yang Guang's confidant, he knew that Yang Guang was not deceived by treacherous ministers. It was just because the situation in the world was like this and the emperor was powerless, so he was so obsessed with beauty and ignored state affairs.

The situation was even worse a few months ago, when the emperor was on a northern tour to the Great Wall, an accident occurred and the Turkic Khan Shibi led his troops to attack 39 cities of the Sui Dynasty and besieged him in Yanmen. The arrows shot by the Turks almost reached the emperor.

“If others can rebel, why can’t I?”

Suddenly, an extremely outrageous idea popped up in Yu Wenzhi's mind, an idea that he had never dared to think about before.

Suddenly, he figured it out.

Since the trend of the demise of the Sui Dynasty is unstoppable, the rebellion of righteous armies across the country is in full swing and unstoppable.

Why can others rebel but he can’t?

The key point is that as Yang Guang's confidant, Yang Guang was very low on guard against him.

If he had eliminated Yang Guang by surprise.

Even...

Enthroned as emperor.

Anyway, things have come to this point and he has no better choice.

He is loyal and has worked for Yang Guang for such a long time. It is time for Yang Guang to help him.

"Let's go back to Jiangdu."

After making up his mind, Yang Guang said immediately.

He was an ambitious hero. The reason why he was willing to obey Yang Guang's orders and work for Yang Guang was only because Yang Guang could provide him with power.

Now that Yang Guang can't save himself, he might as well use his life to help himself give it a try.

As soon as Zhang Shihe saw Yu Wenzhi's expression, he guessed that Yu Wenzhi had an idea in mind.

As a counselor, you only need to help your master analyze the pros and cons.

As for how to decide, that is the master's business.

At Yu Wenzhi's command, everyone mounted their horses and five thousand imperial guards set off, leaving smoke and dust behind them as they hurried towards Jiangdu.

Yu Wenzhi's arrival did not cause any waves or disturbances in Qingcheng Mountain.

Because the other party comes quickly and leaves even faster.

After sending Yu Wenzhi away, Chu Yuan seized the opportunity to continue practicing the sixth and seventh human body diagrams in "The Secret of Immortality".

……

Qingcheng Mountain.

Shangqing Palace.

Summer passes and autumn comes.

Time has come to autumn, and the greenness of the mountains has unknowingly blended into a touch of golden color.

One night of autumn turns yellow, and the autumn comes late.

As the head of the sect, Chu Yuan's residence was no exception.

Taoist priests transplanted two apricot trees with trunks as thick as bowls and three or four meters tall into his yard. Now the leaves of the apricot trees have turned golden. From time to time, golden apricot leaves fall with the autumn wind, covering the ground with a thick layer of decoration.

creak!

A soft sound.

In the room where Chu Yuan had been in seclusion for many days, the tightly closed door was opened.

A young Taoist priest wearing a dark black Taoist robe, with his hair tied up in a hairpin, fair skin, an indescribable sense of leisure and elegance, and eyes as bright as stars, walked out of the room.

This young Taoist priest was Chu Yuan.

"It's already autumn."

Looking at the scenery outside the house, a trace of confusion flashed across Chu Yuan's eyes.

He had been in seclusion for a long time, and when he suddenly came out, he had the illusion that he didn't know what year it was.

He walked out of the room and headed towards the yard.

As he walked step by step towards the center of the yard, the thick layer of golden apricot leaves on the ground of the yard actually began to spin wildly around Chu Yuan, with Chu Yuan as the center.

Chu Yuan seemed to be the center of the storm, but the key point was that the yard was very calm at this time, without even a breeze.

The reason why these apricot leaves were revolving around Chu Yuan was entirely because Chu Yuan had just mastered the sixth and seventh human body diagrams of "The Secret of Immortality".

At the same time, outside the courtyard where Chu Yuan lived, everything seemed calm.

There were also two low cypress trees planted at the gate of Chu Yuan's courtyard, but at this time the cypress trees were still as usual, and there was no phenomenon of leaves fluttering in the wind.

For a moment, the inside and outside of Chu Yuan's courtyard seemed like two completely different worlds.

"move!"

Chu Yuan stood in the center of the flying apricot leaves, feeling the Yang in the seventh human body picture of "The Secret of Immortality".

"quiet!"

Chu Yuan's heart moved again.

The apricot leaves that were just spinning around Chu Yuan in the yard suddenly seemed to be fixed and hung in the air.

The real world seemed to have stopped at this moment and turned into a completely still picture.

Chu Yuan suddenly had an idea and touched an apricot leaf floating in front of him with his finger.

As soon as Chu Yuan touched it with his finger, the apricot leaf fluttered and fell to the ground.

Chu Yuan was not surprised to see this scene and couldn't help but smile.

He took a casual step forward, and immediately the apricot leaves in the yard, which had just been still, began to move again.

Chu Yuan closed his eyes and felt the movement and yin and yang between heaven and earth.

After three months of seclusion, Chu Yuan finally mastered the sixth and seventh human body diagrams of "The Secret of Immortality". Of course, the so-called mastery did not mean complete mastery.

Instead, he put the practice of the sixth and seventh human body diagrams in "The Secret of Immortality" on the right track.

Just as Chu Yuan had guessed before, the difficulty of practicing the sixth and seventh human body diagrams in "The Secret of Immortality" was far beyond his imagination.

Even if he just mastered the sixth and seventh human body diagrams, it took him several months to get his practice of "The Secret of Immortality" on the right track.

But he finally accomplished the goal he set at the beginning, which was to practice seven human body diagrams at the same time.

Facts have also proved that Chu Yuan's previous conjecture that "The Secret of Immortality" requires the joint practice of seven human body diagrams was correct.

Because when Chu Yuan practiced the sixth and seventh human body diagrams of "The Secret of Immortality", Chu Yuan felt like he had completed the last two pieces of a puzzle. In addition to cultivating two kinds of innate true qi with yin and yang attributes, Chu Yuan could also clearly see the "Tao" between heaven and earth.

Chu Yuan could barely feel something before, but it was very vague.

The aura of heaven and earth!

It is a kind of "Tao" in heaven and earth.

Chu Yuan could only barely feel it before, but now he can see it clearly.

Just like now, Chu Yuan saw a kind of white light around him, floating between heaven and earth, yet everywhere.

This is actually the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

As long as Chu Yuan slightly practices the "Eternal Life Secret", he can absorb a large amount of the spiritual energy floating between heaven and earth through his own acupoints and transform it into innate true energy.

Not only that, after practicing the seven human body diagrams of "The Art of Immortality", Chu Yuan felt that even if he did not actively practice "The Art of Immortality", the spiritual energy of the surrounding heaven and earth was as if attracted by something and was approaching his body, and then absorbed by the acupoints and continuously transformed into innate true qi.

In other words, even if Chu Yuan does not practice regularly, the true energy in his body will continue to grow.

Chu Yuan now seems to have become another kind of creature, and his life level has been sublimated.

Chu Yuan previously said that he had comprehended the heaven and earth and created many martial arts on his own. Now he can truly comprehend the heaven and earth.

Chu Yuan's mind moved, and the flying apricot leaves in the yard fluttered and fell to the ground, forming a huge yin-yang pattern.

At the same time, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth that had just been absorbed was transformed into two weak yin and yang innate true energy, which flowed through the meridians and gathered at the center of the eyebrows.

The upper dantian is the purple palace.

As the Yin and Yang innate true qi entered the Purple Palace, Chu Yuan felt that his entire body was nourished from the inside out. He felt that his spirit and memory had become stronger.

Chu Yuan felt that the reason why he had undergone such a big change after completing the sixth and seventh human body diagrams was because of this reason.

"What realm am I in now?"

Chu Yuan said in his heart.

According to Fu Jun'er, finding one's own martial arts path is the innate perfection.

But he only mastered the preliminary part of "The Secret of Immortality" and practiced the seven human body diagrams of "The Secret of Immortality" together to put the practice of "The Secret of Immortality" on the right track.

He didn't even know what his own martial arts were, let alone finding it.

"It's time to go out for a walk. Firstly, it will broaden my horizons, and secondly, it will give me a better idea of ​​where to go next in my martial arts journey."

Chu Yuan said.

He didn't forget his original idea.

He absorbed the advantages and essence of "The Secret of Immortality" and created a martial art of his own.

Although "The Secret of Immortality" is good, it was created by Guangchengzi and is not the most suitable martial art for oneself.

The only martial arts that suit you best are the ones you created yourself.

……

However, as soon as Chu Yuan came out of seclusion, his senior brother Kunyang came in a hurry and brought Chu Yuan some big news.

"Junior brother, what are you doing..."

Kunyang looked at the somewhat mysterious Yin-Yang fish pattern formed by apricot leaves in the yard.

"I just practiced some exercises."

Chu Yuan explained and invited Kunyang into the house.

"Yang Guang died. He was killed by Yu Wenzhi in the palace?"

After the two sat down, Chu Yuan looked surprised when he heard the news brought by his senior brother Kunyang.

"Yes, after the emperor was killed, Yu Wenzhi supported the emperor's nephew, Prince Qin Hao, as emperor, and he ascended the throne a few days ago."

Kunyang said to Chu Yuan.

"Why is he in such a hurry?"

Chu Yuan was a little puzzled.

Logically speaking, although the Sui Dynasty is now in its final years and there are constant uprisings by rebel forces in various places, it should take another one or two years for the Sui Dynasty to perish.

Although Yang Guang traveled around, there was still a complete Sui Dynasty court in the capital Luoyang.

Nowadays, the whole country is on fire, and rebel armies in various places are constantly rising up. Many of them are winning, and they have not been completely destroyed. This is because the Sui Dynasty court in Luoyang city is playing a certain role.

"Junior brother, I guess Yu Wenzhi was pushed into a corner. He failed to complete the task assigned by the emperor. In order to avoid being punished by the emperor, he had no choice but to kill the emperor and rebel."

Kunyang guessed.

He saw everything that happened that day.

He was really shocked that his junior brother Chu Yuan dared to directly destroy the emperor's edict, and he was also afraid that the court would use military force against the Qingcheng Sect.

But as Yu Wenzhi finally retreated in silence, he realized that the Sui Dynasty was now at the end of its strength and was only strong on the outside but weak on the inside.

"Right."

Chu Yuan said.

History is full of coincidences. In his impression, Yu Wenzhi will also kill the king and rebel in the future, although not at this time.

But because of his appearance, Yu Wenzhi's situation is very different from the original plot.

In the original plot, Yu Wenzhi failed to snatch the "Eternal Life Secret" from Shuanglong.

But Shuanglong kept running away, and almost let Yu Wenzhi succeed several times, which also allowed him and Yang Guang to barely have an explanation.

However, due to his appearance, Yu Wenzhi had no chance to seize the "Secret of Immortality" at all.

Yang Guang probably put pressure on him again, so Yu Wenzhi got hot-headed and thought about killing the emperor and rebelling.

"Once the emperor dies, chaos is inevitable. I'm afraid the world will enter a stage where many heroes will compete for supremacy."

Senior Brother Kunyang said to Chu Yuan.

Nowadays, all the famous rebel kings in history have begun to emerge in the world.

Wagangzhai Zhai Rang, Dou Jiande, Du Fuwei, Lin Shihong and so on.

Of course, there were countless rebel armies and leaders who were defeated by the imperial army.

Among them were rebel leaders such as Lu Mingyue, Zhang Jincheng, Gao Shida, and Liu Yuanjin.

With the death of Yang Guang and the chaotic world, the Qingcheng Sect will have to think about what to do next.

"I remember that Bashu seemed to be the only place in the late Sui Dynasty where warlords did not rule the country."

Chu Yuan said in his heart.

There may be small-scale uprisings in the local area, but they are not significant.

Compared with the Jiangnan, Central Plains, North, and southern coastal areas, this place is truly a paradise.

And now with the rise of Qingcheng Sect, Chu Yuan can no longer allow warlords to take shape.

How can you allow others to snore and sleep on the side of the couch?

When war breaks out, countless lives are lost.

Without warlords and wars, local people can be spared from the suffering of war.

"Brother, the world will surely be in chaos, and my Qingcheng Sect is located in Shu. We cannot let Shu fall into chaos."

Chu Yuan said to his senior brother Kunyang.

"What do you mean, junior brother?"

Kunyang was puzzled.

"Send the disciples of Qingcheng Sect to spread Qingcheng martial arts and maintain order throughout Bashu. Also, prevent the rebel army from becoming too powerful. Once the rebel army becomes too powerful, they will fight each other and cause countless casualties among the people of Bashu."

Chu Yuan said to his senior brother Kunyang.

Kunyang understood what Chu Yuan meant: "Yes, the previous rebels were people who rebelled against the court in order to protect themselves. Now that the emperor has been killed and the world is in chaos, these rebels are fighting to seize the throne."

Chu Yuan nodded: "We don't care about other places, but since we are in Shu, we must maintain order in Shu and not let Shu fall into chaos."

Kunyang said: "Brother, rest assured. I am worried that my "Vajra Supporting Heaven Divine Art" has no place to be used. If a large group of rebels really appears, I will personally take action and will never let them become powerful and cause chaos in Shu."

Chu Yuan said: "That's good."

The Qingcheng Sect today is no longer a small sect. Chu Yuan believes that as long as the Qingcheng Sect exists, there will be no chaos in Shu.

"Brother, I'm going to be away for a while, so I'll leave the sect's affairs to you."

Chu Yuan said to his senior brother Kunyang.

"Junior brother, go early and come back early."

Kunyang has become accustomed to Chu Yuan's hands-off style of doing things.

Chu Yuan has been either away from home or in seclusion over the years.

All the affairs within the sect were left to him and the other supreme elders to handle, and he had no say in them at all.

He really didn't know who the leader of the Qingcheng Sect was!

In the past he would struggle and complain, but when he saw Chu Yuan was indifferent, he slowly got used to it.
