Starting from the Greyhound, seventy-two changes.

Chapter 118 Triple Entrance
In winter, wealthy families will light charcoal to keep warm in their houses. Good charcoal is smokeless and can burn all day long.

It was very warm in the backyard and the room of Chen Ku's house.

Old lady Chen Ku and his wife Xu Lan were sitting cross-legged on the kang, one was sewing insoles and the other was knitting a sweater.

Not far away, a maid was coaxing Hu Zi to sleep.

The mother and daughter were chatting.

"It's from the old family. This charcoal is not cheap. There is no smoke at all. It is much better than the charcoal burned by Wu Laoer's family in our village."

The old lady looked at the charcoal basin in front of the bed, her mouth was a little broken, she bit off the thread with her teeth and said:

"Even though you've made some money, you still have to save it and add more fuel to your uncle's room."

"Yes, mother."

Xu Lan winked at the maid and asked her to pick out a few pieces of charcoal from the basin.

The maid said, "The master's room is warm without charcoal, and he won't let us add more charcoal."

Xu Lan knew that his uncle practiced martial arts and was strong, so she also said, "That's right."

The old woman looked at the charcoal basin and said nothing more. She turned her head and looked at the cold weather outside the window, sighed, and said:

"It's just a little snow today. I'm afraid that only 70% of the harvest from our fields will be lost..."

"Yes, I'm afraid those villagers in the village will have a hard time getting through the next year." Xu Lan knitted a sweater while chatting with her mother-in-law, chatting about random things.

……

Chen Ku took a deep breath in his room, feeling the internal energy filling up his body, and said to himself:
"This is the feeling of full Qi, the feeling of complete inner Qi. My inner Qi is full and full now, and I don't feel hungry at all."

Medical books in previous lives said: "When your essence is full, you won't think of sex; when your qi is full, you won't think of hunger; when your spirit is full, you won't think of sleep."

I thought it was a deceptive term used by Chinese medicine practitioners in previous lives.

I didn't expect this to be true.

"With my current internal energy, I can probably go without food for ten days or half a month. In a sense, this has already reached the 'bigu' state that those ancient Taoists dreamed of in their previous lives."

Chen Ku felt the changes brought to him by his physical growth.

"But this is only a prerequisite for maintaining life. You can't fight with others, and you can't practice martial arts to consume your energy. After all, whether it's fighting or practicing martial arts, it will consume energy. Once you move, your energy will be consumed. Once it's consumed, you will feel hungry again."

This is why it is said in the storybooks that some masters can eat a cow after fighting with others.

"The internal energy has been fully developed. The next major realm is the Xuanguan realm in the second realm of martial arts."

Chen Ku has not yet been taught the skills of the Xuanguan Realm, but from the exchanges between his master Yang Luchan and Yang Shaoqi, he has heard some things about the Xuanguan Realm.

"It is said that the Xuanguan Realm is located in the human brain. There is a special key point. As the most mysterious and fragile part of the human body, it is also called the 'Xuanpin Gate'. The method of cultivation is to bring the internal energy to the brain, and then nourish the brain with the energy, so that the mind is clear and the various potentials of the brain are developed, so as to achieve the ability to see inwardly and completely improve the physical constitution of life..."

Chen Ku recalled the time when he struggled to kill Liang Shi, the old servant of the Zhao family. At that time, he felt the terrifying vitality of the master of the Xuanguan realm.

Even though he was hit on the temple by a force of tens of thousands of pounds, he didn't die immediately.

That's without luck to protect your brain.

The entrance realm.

It has already entered a brand new world.

Chen Ku walked out of the house.

Instead of thinking about it yourself, it is better to go and ask the master directly.

Then they came to Yaowang Hall, Jinshi Courtyard.

As soon as I arrived at the Jinshi Courtyard, I saw Senior Brother Yang Shaoqi playing with a stick in the yard with a rosy face. When he saw Chen Ku coming over, he excitedly said:
"Brother, come on, come on, practice with me for a while."

Chen was surprised.

His senior brother had refused to spar with him a month or two ago. Where did the sun rise from today?

My heart moved, as if I had guessed something.

"Brother, have you made a breakthrough?"

Hearing this, Yang Shaoqi raised his head slightly with pride and said, "Yes, I entered the state of great perfection of internal energy seven days ago, and today I finally stabilized my state. Second brother, come here, let me show you the power of my great perfection of internal energy."

Before Chen Ku could say anything, he saw the eldest senior brother walking towards him and extending his hand toward him.

There is no way I can avoid helping out here.

Yang Shaoqi looked at the hand that Chen Ku stretched out, shook it, chuckled, and wanted to test Chen Ku's strength.

The result is a hand.

Even though he put all his great strength into his hands, he was unable to hold Chen Ku's hand.

Yang Shaoqi's expression was moved:
"Junior brother? You haven't made a breakthrough as well, have you?"

"To be honest, Senior Brother, I have indeed made a breakthrough."

Chen smiled bitterly and was about to withdraw his hand.

Yang Shaoqi was stunned.

monster! !
He had been preparing for the perfection of internal energy two or three months ago. At that time, Chen Ku still had sufficient energy. Unexpectedly, after a month, his energy was strong... and after another month, his energy was full.

Instead, he felt a little more excited.

"Junior brother, try to exert your strength. I want to know how much strength you can have after your internal energy is perfected."

"Really?"

"You...use all your strength...ah!"

……

Yang Luchan was immediately startled by a scream like a pig being slaughtered. After walking out of the door, he saw Yang Shaoqi screaming:

"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, please let go..."

Yang Luchan only took a look and moved his ears slightly. He could feel the breathing of Chen Ku and Yang Shaoqi, which were exactly the same, long and powerful, and had reached the level of more than ten stages. Only in this way could they be used at any time. This was also another sign of "full qi".

"Second brother, have you broken through to full energy?"

Yang Luchan was extremely surprised.

Chen Ku let go of his senior brother's hand, bowed to the master, and said, "That's right, so I came to ask the master, after the internal energy is fully developed, the next practice is about the mysterious gate, how to start..."

Yang Shaoqi shook his swollen palms, feeling as if he was pinched by a little giant. At this time, he hurriedly said, "Master, I also want to ask you something."

Yang Luchan looked at his two disciples with joy. They had achieved great success and were both under 20 years old, especially Chen Ku...

He has only been in Medicine King Hall for less than half a year, but he has achieved such great success. It is no wonder that Old Man Nong and Chai Bao drool at the sight of such a genius.

He was immediately very proud and satisfied, and said:

"Okay, okay, now that you two have reached the full state of Qi, it is time to teach you the method of cultivating the Genkan. Come in."

The two entered the house.

Yang Luchan sat on the armchair, lit a pipe, smoked, glanced at Chen Ku and Yang Shaoqi, and then said slowly:

"As for the Xuanguan, I've talked to you about it before. All martial artists know that it's in the brain, but where exactly is it in the brain, and how to 'flow luck into the brain', the degree of danger and the secret techniques involved are all secrets of every internal martial arts school. In the 'Immortal Eternal Spring Classic' of my Medicine King Hall, the training method is as follows..."

talking.

He then explained how to 'rush the brain with luck', what route to follow, what dangers to watch out for when rushing the brain, and what preparations to make in advance, all in a total of more than 3,000 words.

Chen Ku only listened to it once and memorized it through the memory of the spiritual pigeon.

After Yang Luchan finished explaining the practice of the "Xuanguan Chapter", he solemnly and seriously instructed:
"It is different from the internal energy realm. Even if there is no method to move blood and energy, as long as there is enough energy in the blood, you will naturally feel the energy. It is nothing more than the accumulation over the years. It can be achieved naturally... The mysterious gate in the brain must be actively broken through by oneself before you can step into the realm."

"The Mystery of Life and Death?" Chen Ku listened to the contents of the Mystery Chapter and asked, "It sounds like if a breakthrough fails, one will die immediately?!"

"The brain is the most mysterious and fragile part of the human body. To push the internal energy into the brain is just like breaking into an antique porcelain shop with a weapon. If there is a slight bump, it will shatter into pieces. So we must follow the 'qi circulation route' explored by our predecessors, just like walking on a single-plank bridge. Don't touch the 'porcelain'. Take the narrow road to find the door at the end of the road, which is the 'entrance', and use the internal energy to push it open..."

Yang Luchan earnestly teaches the key to breaking through the gate:
"Why is the gate called the gate of life and death? The reason is that it has three gates. Once the first gate is broken through, the energy in the brain will be completely opened, awakening all kinds of potential. Therefore, this gate has only advantages and no disadvantages. It is also called the 'gate of life'. But the second gate is different. After the gate of life, once it is broken through, you will fall into a 'state of suspended animation'. Whether you can wake up from suspended animation depends entirely on your spiritual will and physical survival instinct. I don't know how many warriors have been buried in this gate and can never wake up. Therefore, this gate is called the 'gate of death'...

But if you can wake up from behind the Death Gate, you will be able to truly see the truth of the Mysterious Gate, which is the third gate, the Mysterious Gate. "

"The so-called Xuanmen is extremely mysterious. Once you open it, you no longer gain energy, but spiritual power. Once you break through the third level, a warrior can control every inch of his body, blood, flesh and energy in great detail. He can even use his mind to look inside his body and compress the internal energy with his mind, doing all sorts of incredible things.

For example...when I was speaking just now, my mouth didn't move at all."

Chen Ku then realized what was happening and looked at his master.

"This is a little trick of the spiritual power obtained from the Xuanmen. It uses the spiritual power to compress the internal energy and form a method of 'transmitting sound into secrets'."

Yang Luchan did not move his lips, but used his internal energy to pronounce the words:

"At the same time, I heard that some people with extraordinary talents have received spiritual power far beyond that of ordinary people in the Xuanguan realm. They can use their eyes to move their spirits and defeat others. If such people practice some magical martial arts, they will be even more incredible. They can control and influence the minds of others just by looking at them. It can be said to be terrifying."

Chen Ku was terrified when he heard this.

Just by looking at each other.

You can enslave others mentally.

Isn't this a bit too much? Why are so many people practicing martial arts, but this kind of person has shown supernatural powers?

"Master, can you do it?" Chen Ku asked cautiously.

Yang Luchan shook his head and said, "I can't do that, because when I was at the third level of Xuanguan, I didn't receive too many spiritual gifts. This is a matter of talent, just like your bloodline, it is innate and cannot be asked for."

Yang Shaoqi was also a little scared and asked, "Are there many such people? If there are many, when we meet them in the future, won't they just need to look at us and ask us to take off our clothes? If they ask us to cut our throats with a knife, we will have to do it too?"

Chen Ku was stern.

What he feared the most was this: if he couldn't even control his own body and mind, he would become a puppet of others. That would be too deadly.

"Is there any way to deal with such people?" he asked.

"Yes, the best way is to be stronger than the other party, because the martial arts practice is to 'cultivate both the body and the soul'. As long as the body and blood are improved, the invisible spirit will naturally be improved as well. A martial artist in the fourth realm, even if he has a powerful Xuanmen spiritual power, will never be able to control and enslave a martial artist in the fifth realm. This is the foundation of life and soul."

Yang Luchan continued:

"But after all, when traveling in the martial arts world, it is impossible to always be stronger than others. Therefore, there are other means to deal with such people, such as 'Awakening Pills' and 'Thin Ink Oil', which can stimulate the spirit and prevent it from being enslaved. There is also a kind of horn from a demon called 'Dust-avoiding Rhino'. Its horn can be made into a talisman to protect the mind."

Chen Ku remembered these things silently.

Asked again clearly.

Both the Spirit-awakening Pill and the Thin Ink Oil are sold in Yaowang Hall, but they are very expensive, worth a fortune.

And it cannot be responded to at any time.

It would be best if he could find the horn of a Dust-avoiding Rhino, or directly hunt a Dust-avoiding Rhino and awaken its innate talent.

"Speaking of which, our county magistrate Shangguan Yun was able to play with the young lady of the Xu family at the palm of his hand. I'm afraid he... has abilities similar to the spiritual endowment of the Xuanmen, or martial arts?"

Looking at Chen Ku, I felt a little heavy-hearted.

Yang Luchan took a long puff of his cigarette, tapped the pipe on the sole of his shoe, and said dissatisfiedly: "Why are you so cowardly? Improve your ability and you won't have to be afraid of anything. Besides... don't you have any confidence that you will be the one who gets the 'psychic power' after the Xuanmen?"

He had high hopes for Chen Ku.

Yang Shaoqi said excitedly: "You are right, maybe I also have psychic powers."

Yang Luchan looked at his eldest disciple, thinking that his brain was all muscle, and took a deep breath, saying, "There is absolutely no such possibility."

Yang Shaoqi was stunned: "Why?"

Chen Ku bowed and said, "Master, you are right. I will try my best to do it."

"Don't be too anxious. You have just broken through. You should stabilize your cultivation first. Before breaking through, it is best to say hello to your master or your master. We have someone to look after you. Then you can break through."

Yang Luchan was not worried whether Chen Ku had enough energy to rush to his brain. What he was worried about was that Chen Ku would be too impatient for quick results, and the internal energy would rush to his brain. The brain is no joke.

"Thank you, master."

Chen Ku obtained the cultivation method for the next realm, and also gained a lot of reminders and experience, then took his leave.
