Eternal Sword

Chapter 110 Dragon Capturing Skill

The guest in the mountain gave Chen Tang another warning, and then said, "Since you have already cultivated to the lower eighth level, I will teach you another set of exercises to help you better strengthen your bones."

"This set of skills is not only a cultivation method, but also a powerful combat technique, called 'Vajra Hands of Power'."

"The most difficult part of bone training is at the ends of the bones, which are the hands and feet. Only when you train your strength to the fingers can you achieve the highest level of bone transformation."

The guest in the mountain taught Chen Tang the practice method of "Vajrapani" word by word.

Including many cultivation details and precautions.

Chen Tang was practicing, and the guest from the mountain was giving him guidance.

"There are many techniques for strengthening the bones of the palms. Famous ones include Eagle Claw Technique, Mysterious Yin Finger, One Finger Zen, and the Azure Dragon Claw you mentioned before, which also belongs to this category."

"The Vajra Hand is a powerful and strong martial art. Once it is fully practiced, the power of the fists and palms will increase greatly. If you grab the opponent with your palms, you can even break his bones!"

Chen Tang practiced and comprehended at the same time.

"Vajra Hand" can be perfectly integrated into the Tiger Subduing Fist, making the Tiger Subduing Fist more powerful.

If he had mastered the "Vajra Hand", like the move of snatching food from a tiger's mouth, Chen Tang could tear the opponent's throat apart with just one grab of the tiger claws!

As Chen Tang practiced, he felt his hands becoming a little swollen, especially each finger bone, which was feeling slightly hot!

Seeing that Chen Tang had already mastered the practice of the "Great Power Vajra Hand", the mountain guest asked him to stop and said, "You may not have the opportunity to go up the snow mountain again for some time in the future. I will also pass on the Yijin Gong method to you."

"There are many Yi Jin exercises, the most famous of which is the Yi Jin Jing in Buddhism. The exercise I'm going to teach you is called Qin Long Gong, which consists of two parts."

"The first part is the inner strength mental method of Yi Jin, and the second part is the nine-way grappling technique of breaking tendons and dislocating bones. Only by practicing both the inner and outer skills can Yi Jin be accomplished."

"If you want to practice Yi Jin Gong, you must be familiar with the location of each tendon and the location of the fascia."

The eyes of the Shanzhongke seemed to be burning with two flames, falling on Chen Tang.

Every time his eyes looked at a certain place, Chen Tang felt a large tendon in his body become restless and vibrate slightly, like a bowstring, making a slight trembling sound.

Chen Tang closed his eyes and carefully experienced this wonderful feeling.

"The person who stabbed you before, each time he stabbed you, he did so accurately. This is because he has already cultivated to the seventh level and is familiar with the location of every tendon and every piece of fascia."

The voice of the mountain visitor continued to sound.

"You haven't reached the level yet for the inner strength of the Dragon Capturing Technique, so don't practice it yet. You can find time to practice the Nine-Way Capturing Technique in the next chapter, but don't rush for success."

"You haven't mastered Yi Jin yet. If you force yourself to perform the grappling technique, it will easily cause damage to your own fascia. In addition, if someone recognizes this nine-way grappling technique, you should not reveal the real name."

Chen Tang asked, "Can you give this set of grappling techniques a pseudonym?"

"Correct."

The mountain visitor nodded.

"Let's call it Tianshan Plum Blossom Hand."

Chen Tang said.

The mountain guest was silent for a moment, then said, "You know what, your name is better than mine."

"That's natural."

Chen Tang murmured in his heart, after all, it was the Xiaoyao Sect's unique skill.

"The human body has eight major joints: shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee, ankle, cervical vertebrae, and lumbar vertebrae. The Nine Ways of Grasping... well, the Nine Ways of Tianshan Zhemei Hands, one of which is a method of snatching a blade with bare hands. The other eight ways are to dislocate tendons and bones at the eight major joints."

"Like the cervical or lumbar vertebrae, once you grab them, the opponent will be paralyzed and lose their fighting power."

"The Tianshan Plum Blossom Hand emphasizes grabbing, striking, entangling and locking..."

The man in the mountain practiced the eight-way grappling techniques on Chen Tang several times.

Although there seem to be only eight routes, each route has many variations.

Different responses will evolve depending on the opponent's moves.

While practicing this set of grappling techniques, you are also becoming familiar with your own bones, muscles, and fascia.

Chen Tang asked: "Senior, you once said that the eighth level is to cultivate 'Jade Bones', and what is the symbol of the seventh level of Yijin?"

"There is a mantra about the extreme realm."

The guest in the mountain said: "The skin is as white as ice, the bones are as strong as strings, the marrow is frosty, the blood is mercury, and the body is made of glass."

"For ordinary martial arts geniuses, it is rare to be able to cultivate their tendons to be as strong as fine steel, so there is a saying of "steel bones". But in fact, this does not achieve the true purpose of Yi Jin."

"The ultimate goal of bone training is to become strong and tough, while the ultimate goal of Yijin training is to become flexible and tough."

"Too hard will break, too soft will collapse. Only when hardness and softness are combined can we capture dragons and subdue tigers!"

"The seventh level is when the tendons are like strings. The tendons in the body tremble like bowstrings, and can even make thunderous sounds!"

Chen Tang blurted out: "The bow is like thunder and the string is shocked."

"Yes, that's what it means."

The mountain visitor nodded.

Soon, night falls.

I've asked for leave from Qinglongsi and am not in a hurry to go back.

Chen Tang slept on the snowy mountain for a night.

The mountain guest taught a lot of things yesterday, so Chen Tang got up early, practiced them again, memorized them by heart, and then prepared to go down the mountain.

At this moment, the little white ape climbed up from the bottom of the mountain.

I was very happy after seeing Chen Tang.

Chen Tang smiled and asked, "Do you come to practice sword every day?"

The little white ape nodded.

Every day it comes to the top of the mountain to learn sword skills from the mountain dwellers.

At noon, we will return to the cave.

When Chen Tang came yesterday, the little white ape had already left.

The little white ape's eyes were dark and rolling around, and his hands were waving, gesturing towards Chen Tang.

"What do you mean?"

Chen Tang was puzzled.

The little white ape's gestures this time were a bit complicated. The mountain guest, who stayed with it every day, understood it and said, "It means that when its magical power is perfected, it will come down the mountain to help you."

"Ha ha!"

Chen Tang laughed loudly, patted the little white ape's head, and said, "You are thoughtful. Grow up quickly."

Chen Tang played with Xuetuaner and the little white ape for a while before saying goodbye to the mountain guest and the mountain king and going down the mountain.

But this time, the mountain visitor actually left the cave, stood on the edge of the cliff, and watched him leave.

"Senior, please don't do this. It makes me feel like I can't come back..."

Chen Tang turned around and waved.

Chen Tang did not return to Wu'an County, but headed towards Changze County.

According to the plan, he had to lure the young leader of the Blackwater Gang to Wu'an County.

Just after noon, Chen Tang had already arrived in Changze County.

He did not go directly to the Black Water Gang's branch, but headed towards the Plum Blossom Martial Arts School.

He may not have the chance to come to Changze County for some time.

Just when I came back, I went to Plum Blossom Martial Arts School to see Mei Yingxue.

Not long after, Chen Tang passed by his house in Changze County.

After a brief pause, Chen Tang pushed the door open and walked in.

The house was empty and covered with snow, without any signs of life.

Thinking back to the first time I came down the mountain and came here, it seems like it all happened yesterday.

Chen Tang looked around the house, then turned around and left, going to the Meihua Martial Arts School.

As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the martial arts gym, Chen Tang frowned.

Unlike in the past, the entrance to the Plum Blossom Martial Arts School was unattended, and only half of the plaque hanging above it remained.

People passing by the martial arts hall lowered their heads and hurried away.

Chen Tang frowned slightly and walked slowly into the Plum Blossom Martial Arts Hall.

Mei Yingxue had brought him here once.

However, compared with the last time, this time the martial arts hall looked dilapidated and lifeless inside and out, and no one was practicing martial arts.

Chen Tang's ears moved, and he heard a faint crying sound coming from deep in the inner courtyard.

Chen Tang followed the sound and not far away, he turned into a courtyard and saw a girl in red squatting against the wall, burying her face in her knees and sobbing softly.

The red dress was stained with dirt and had lost its luster.

"Miss Mei?"

Chen Tang tried to call out softly.

The girl in red trembled all over and slowly raised her head. It was Mei Yingxue.

After seeing Chen Tang, Mei Yingxue's tears burst out and she cried even harder.

Chen Tang came closer, squatted down, and asked, "What's going on? Are the people from the Black Water Gang here?"

In Changze County, the only one who could have brought the Plum Blossom Martial Arts School to such a state was the Black Water Gang.

Moreover, Chen Tang could probably guess why the Blackwater Gang valued Changze County so much.

Coming from the Black Water Kingdom, crossing three thousand snow-capped mountains, the nearest county town is here.

Mei Yingxue nodded with tears in her eyes and said, "A few days ago, someone from the Black Water Gang suddenly came to my house and said they wanted to exchange martial arts with my father. My father didn't want to, so the person chopped the plaque of the Plum Blossom Martial Arts School in half."

"My brother was so angry that he rushed up to argue with the man and was knocked unconscious by a slap."

"At the time, all the disciples in the martial arts school were watching. Dad had no choice but to stand up and fight with that person. As a result, he was severely injured and is still in a coma."

Kicking someone out of the way is a common tactic, but it does work.

The government won’t say anything about such a small matter.

"and after?"

Chen Tang asked.

Mei Yingxue said: "Later, all the disciples of the martial arts school left, and some relatives at home also dispersed and didn't want to have anything to do with us. Now there are only three of us left at home."

Chen Tang walked into the room and glanced at Mei Nianzhi.

The injury is to the internal organs, but if you take good care of yourself, there is still a chance to save your life.

However, at Mei Nianzhi's age and with such a serious injury, it will be difficult for him to fight with others in the future.

"I'll call a carriage, and you guys can follow me to Wu'an County."

Chen Tang said this and turned to leave.

At the beginning, he had persuaded Mei Nianzhi to leave Changze County.

Mei Nianzhi was unwilling to give up this martial arts school, nor was he willing to give up his property in Changze County. After suffering this disaster today, there was no point for him to stay in Changze County.

Mei Yingxue used to live a life of luxury, but after suffering such a blow, she has been feeling haggard these days and has lost her mind.

My father is in a coma and my brother is in a state of depression.

These days, she is the only one who supports me.

Now seeing Chen Tang, Mei Yingxue's mind was in a mess.

Whatever Chen Tang says, that is what it is.

After a while, Chen Tang called a carriage.

After lifting Mei Nianzhi onto the carriage.

Mei Yingxue supported the drunk Mei Jixian and stuffed him into the carriage.

Only after Mei Yingxue got on the carriage did Chen Tang drive away.

After walking for a while, the carriage suddenly stopped.

Mei Yingxue lifted the curtain and took a look, her face changed drastically!

This is the branch of the Blackwater Gang!
