If you don't give up, I'd like to be your adoptive father.

Chapter 51 Welcoming the Marquis of Lieyang (Seeking follow-up reading)
Song Changqing suddenly raised his head and said in shock: "General, you want me to teach Miss Yu the "Heroic Dragon Skill"? Do you know the "Heroic Dragon Skill"? "

Xiaoyu didn't understand, but after hearing the name and seeing Song Changqing's reaction, he didn't seem like a good person.

"You think you know the Male Dragon Skill very well?" Hu Chen snorted coldly, "The Male Dragon Skill and the Female Phoenix Skill are one yang and one yin, men practice the Male Dragon Skill and women practice the Female Phoenix Skill.

But the two are from the same lineage, both originated from the same ancient treasure book, and can cultivate the "Changchun True Qi"!
Just looking at the breathing technique, the cultivation methods of the first six levels are almost exactly the same, and only in the last three levels does the distinction between yin and yang begin to appear.

Now Yu'er wants to study the way of internal energy, you can teach her the first six levels of internal energy cultivation method. "

Song Changqing was entangled and said: "But "Xiong Long Gong" is an evil skill!"

"If it is really a completely evil skill, would I still let Yu'er practice it?" Hu Chen waved his hands impatiently, "Okay, just do as I say.

Although I have never practiced the "Heroic Dragon Skill", I know more about Lao Shenxian than you do."

Then he turned to Xiao Yu and warned her, "You follow Song Changqing to practice, the breathing method of Xiong Long Gong is not an attacking technique, it can't make you a master of the internal martial arts.

But there is absolutely no problem in strengthening your body, maintaining your complexion and prolonging your life.

Especially when it comes to maintaining one’s appearance, everyone in Yingxiang Mansion who has seen Lao Shenxian knows this well.”

Xiao Yu knelt down and bowed to him with gratitude, "Yu'er understands, thank you, foster father!"

Hu Chen left, and Song Changqing stood there, still seemingly struggling, like a wooden stake, and did not respond for a long time.

"General Song, what are you waiting for?" Xiaoyu reminded.

"The Xionglong Kung Fu is really not a good practice, and Lao Shenxian is not a good person either." Song Changqing said sincerely.

This Song Changqing is extremely ugly, but he has a good heart.

Xiaoyu's impression of him improved a lot.

"Do you think my godfather is harming me?" she laughed.

——It’s hard to say!
Song Changqing didn't know about the "Little Concubine Li Plan", but he knew Guan Huchen and the Guan family very well.

In his mind, Hu Chen had nothing to do with good people or good deeds.

There must be some conspiracy behind Hu Chen's adoption of this little girl as his adopted daughter, and her fate will most likely not be good.

Maybe it is related to "Xionglong Gong" and Lao Shenxian.

Thinking of this, he decided to go against Hu Chen's will and reveal a little bit of the truth to her.

Regardless of what effect it will have, at least he can satisfy his own conscience.

"Miss Yu, let's go back to the inn. I'll explain the breathing method. We need a human meridian map."

Xiaoyu naturally wouldn't object.

She took him to her guest room.

With her current status as the young lady of the Guan family, of course she lives in a superior guest room, and there is even a small study next to the bedroom.

After closing the doors and windows, Song Changqing did not immediately take up the pen to draw the internal energy meridian map, but lowered his voice and said: "Miss Yu, everyone in Yingxiang Mansion knows 'Lao Shenxian', do you know why?"

"Does he have any magical skills?" Xiaoyu asked.

Song Changqing nodded gently and said, "Longevity can be considered a divine power! Last August, the immortal Lao celebrated his 348th birthday, and even the Prince of Qinghe County came in person to celebrate his birthday."

"Wow, he has lived for more than three hundred years. He is worthy of being called the 'immortal'." Xiao Yu exclaimed.

Although this is a world with both immortals and Buddhas, Hu Chen also said when explaining the common knowledge of immortal martial arts that, unless one is a great master who practices special qigong, ordinary martial artists can only live for a hundred years.

If it were Hu Chen himself, even if he cultivated "Tiger Soul Seven Kills" to the highest level of the seventh level, he could only be free from illness and disaster, and perhaps live to over a hundred years, but there would be no additional life-extending effect.

Song Changqing stared at her and said in a deep voice: "The reason why Lao Shenxian can live so long is because he practiced the art of Yin Yang Collection and Replenishment. Do you understand Yin Yang Collection and Replenishment? That is an evil art. Those who practice the Yin Yang Collection and Replenishment are more harmful than goblins."

Xiao Yu's expression didn't change much, he just said suddenly: "No wonder, male dragon and female phoenix, they do sound a bit like that."

These words and this calm expression made Song Changqing a little confused.

"You've also heard about Yin-Yang replenishment in Sand Dune?"

"The Dune barbarians don't even know how to write the words 'yin and yang'."

Xiaoyu looked disdainful, as if she was a noble Chinese.

Well, in Song Changqing's eyes, she was more like a "Runren" who belittled her motherland, and was a bit mean.

"Then how did you—"

"Didn't you see? I was reading the whole time!"

Xiaoyu tapped the table gently so that he could see the huge words "The Book of Songs" on the cover of the book clearly.

Song Changqing was shocked. "You've started reading the Book of Poetry?"

He started to learn Chinese at the age of six and began to read the Book of Songs at the age of thirteen. How many days had she been away from the wilderness?

"Don't try to understand it in depth, just read it casually to get some literary inspiration. General Song, I understand what you said. Thank you for your advice. Let's get started." Xiao Yu said.

"Start what? Don't you understand?" Song Changqing frowned.

"I understand what the 'Xiong Long Gong' is, but you don't understand how good my adoptive father is to me." Xiao Yu said seriously.

Song Changqing's lips moved a few times, but he couldn't help but said, "Your adoptive father is not a good man."

Xiao Yu said: "I don't know what the definition of a 'good person' is, but I am sure that my godfather is a good godfather.

Moreover, I took the initiative to practice the breathing technique today, and my godfather just helped me choose the most suitable one."

Song Changqing looked at her determined eyes, his expression a little dazed, and suddenly another child with a pretty face and another "adoptive father" with a long beard popped up in his mind.
Time is so cruel. In the blink of an eye, almost forty years have passed.

“I hope you’re right.”

He let out a long breath, and his originally straight back bent weakly due to the heavy emotions brought by the memories.

"There are two key points to practicing the breathing method of the Xiong Long Gong. First, it is very important to read the Taoist scriptures and generate a wisp of 'Tao Qi' in your body.

Only after the birth of the 'Dao Qi' can we proceed to the next step of 'activating the spiritual veins'."

Xiao Yu asked in confusion: "What Taoist scriptures should I read? What is Taoist Qi?"

Song Changqing said: "Any Taoist scripture is fine, there are no special restrictions.

Such as "Tao Te Ching", "Huang Ting Jing", "Yin Fu Jing", "Huang Di Nei Jing", "Nan Hua Jing" and "Taiping Jing".
At least the Daodejing and Huangtingjing can be found in almost all bookstores and Taoist temples. It is fine even if you just read one copy all the time.

The purpose of reciting Taoist scriptures is to cultivate Taoist spirit, and it is not necessary to comprehend some profound principles.

Taoism is not mysterious.

You said before that you read the Book of Songs to be influenced by the literary atmosphere.

Dao Qi can be understood as the "literary energy" generated in the body after reading Taoist scriptures.

Or, the demeanor of people who recite Taoist scriptures all year round, which distinguishes them from ordinary scholars, is the "Tao spirit."

"It sounds very mysterious." Xiaoyu frowned.

Chang Qing said: "You want to cultivate your inner breath, what are you talking about?"

"Then what? How to activate the spiritual vein?" Xiaoyu asked again.

"After you have the Dao Qi, find a quiet room that is neither hot nor cold, neither thirsty nor hungry. Try to get rid of the influence of your five senses, and silently recite the inner breathing formula of the Xiong Long Gong in your heart.

Gradually, the 'Tao Qi' will gather at one point and flow throughout the meridians.

Continue to recite the formula silently, and at the same time visualize the meridian movement diagram of the "Xiong Long Gong" internal breathing method in your mind.

In the visualized diagram of the movement of inner breath, 'point' the point where the 'Tao Qi' jumps.

Those points will generate warm heat flow, which is the original inner breath.

When the heat flows through the meridians, returns to Dantian, and stabilizes, the inner breath has been entered. After that, it will be easy, just continue to meditate and endure. "

Seeing the confusion on Xiaoyu's face, Song Changqing asked, "Didn't I make it clear enough? Is there anything else you don't understand?"

Xiao Yu thought for a moment and said, "If I recite the formula silently, I can sense the 'Tao Qi'?"

It is easy to understand that she can click on the picture by following the "Tao Qi", but she has to sense the "Tao Qi" first!

"Reciting the formula silently is one of the conditions for the 'Dao Qi' to gather at one point. In reality, there are too many factors that can determine your success or failure.

But don't worry, failure won't do any harm to your body.

As long as you read more Taoist scriptures, keep your mind calm, and try more, you will eventually succeed.

Failure has no impact, once you succeed, you will always succeed. " Changqing said.

"General Song, have you ever practiced the Mysterious Weapon Qi? Does the Xiong Long Gong have a similar 'Mysterious Weapon' that can help you comprehend the inner breath?"

Previously, she thought that the internal energy method that required the assistance of mysterious tools was difficult and had a high threshold.

After understanding the practice of "Xiong Long Gong", she realized that the assistance of mysterious weapons only required harsh material conditions, but the requirements for the practitioners themselves were very low.

"Xiong Long Gong" does not require the use of external objects, but the requirements for the practitioner himself are higher and more stringent.

Chang Qing shook his head and said, "I didn't practice the "Xuanbing Zhenqi". In fact, I didn't practice the "Xionglong Gong".

Now I am practicing the "Tiger Soul Seven Kills" just like General Guan.

However, although "Xiong Long Gong" does not have a "mysterious weapon", it should be possible to increase the success rate of "activating the spiritual veins" with the help of special elixirs.

In any case, reading Taoist scriptures more often to cultivate "Tao Qi" is an essential part, and elixirs are only auxiliary.

General Guan was right about at least one thing: the "Xiong Long Gong" was derived from an ancient Taoist secret book from the great nation of China.

To practice the Taoist secrets, one must recite Taoist classics.

Just like the literary examination in my Shu Kingdom, the top scorer must be well-read in poetry and books.

For example, "Tiger Soul Seven Killings" and "Mysterious Weapon Qi" do not require much education. Even an illiterate person can practice them to perfection."

Xiao Yu was surprised and asked, "You actually practiced Tiger Soul Seven Killings as well? By the way, you seemed to call 'Master Guan' your godfather before. Which 'Master Guan' is it?"

Chang Qing said indifferently: "Miss Yu, I am only responsible for teaching you the "Heroic Dragon Skill"!"

Xiao Yu looked at him deeply and said, "Well, go on."

The Tao Te Ching and the Huang Ting Sutra are indeed common goods, and several sets can be found in Yunlai Inn.

Xiaoyu read the "Tao Te Ching" for the whole afternoon.

If you don't try to understand it in detail, you can basically memorize the Taoist scriptures of more than 10,000 words.

Well, she discovered that her memory and understanding in this life far surpassed those in her previous life, and seemed to be getting stronger as she grew older.

If I had this talent in my previous life, Peking University and Tsinghua University would no longer be a "legend" that I dare not even dream of.

She had not read the Tao Te Ching in her previous life seriously, but she remembered that it was only about 5,000 to 6,000 words. The Tao Te Ching she got now was smaller, only about 3,500 words, and the rest were all annotations by the "Taoist masters".

That night, she "pointed the spiritual meridians" according to the meridian diagram of "Xiong Long Gong".

After struggling until midnight, I was exhausted and got nothing.

But Xiaoyu was not discouraged, but strengthened her determination: she must read more Taoist scriptures! Even if she had mastered the "Xiong Long Gong", she would continue to read.

If she just wanted to mingle in the martial arts world, she could choose the "Xuanqi" internal skills that even illiterate people could practice.

But Wulin is just a novice village in her mind. In the future, she wants to cultivate and become an immortal.

The Taoist secret book of cultivating immortality must be countless times more difficult to practice than "Xiong Long Gong".

Today, I can’t even master the “Xiong Long Gong”, let alone cultivating immortality.

You must know that even someone as gifted as Wukong also listened to scriptures and discussed Taoism, practiced calligraphy and burned incense in the Slanting Moon and Three Stars Cave for seven years!

Before the fifth watch of the next day, the Yunlai Inn was brightly lit and bustling with people.

Hu Chen and five hundred Shu knights, fully armored, lined up in neat rows and led their horses to the entrance of the Western Straight Road five miles away.

Marquis Lieyang arrived in the afternoon, and they rushed to the intersection early in the morning to prepare for work.

"Outsiders" like Xiaoyu and Guan Zhong did not go there.

"Marquis Lieyang has finally arrived. I am just waiting to reunite with him. The master's 'disaster' will melt away like ice in boiling soup." Guan Zhong's face showed joy and nervousness. "As long as we hold on for another half a day, don't let anything unexpected happen. Don't let anything unexpected happen."

(ps: During the period of new book release, follow-up reading is very important, thank you for your support!)
