Zongwu: Aspiring to be the mastermind behind the scenes

Chapter 19: Xiao Wuxiang Gong, Beiming Divine Art

This mission holds a hidden secret.

Ji Dian left the Ming Kingdom, went to the Song Kingdom, and arrived at the Mantuo Villa in Gusu, where he found the eight account books and copied them one by one.

The so-called mystery lies in these eight account books.

There was a large hidden sect in the State of Song, the Xiaoyao Sect. The founder of the sect, Xiaoyaozi, only accepted four disciples, one man and three women, which shows that the sect was very small.

Xiaoyaozi divided his martial arts into three parts.

One of them is the 'I Am the Only One in the Eight Desolations and Six Directions', which was passed on to his eldest disciple Wu Xingyun.

One of them is the 'Northern Sea Divine Art', which was passed on to his second disciple Wuyazi.

One of them is the 'Small Wuxiang Gong', which was passed on to the third disciple Li Qiushui.

As for the last fourth disciple, Li Qiushui's sister Li Canghai, she was still young at the time and had no inheritance.

The above three are all internal skills.

As for other practical moves, light skills, etc., they are counted separately.

Although the Xiaoyao Sect has few people, it has a lot going on. The only male disciple in the sect, Wuyazi, who is ranked second, is loved and competed for by two other female disciples.

But the one he truly loves is not either of them, but his fourth junior sister Li Canghai.

The emotional entanglements between these four people are complicated and have caused many problems.

All in all, the result was that, excluding the master, the Xiaoyao Sect, which had a total of four people, eventually fell apart and the four people went their separate ways.

Wuyazi once lived in the Langhuan blessed land of Dali Kingdom and left behind some of the Xiaoyao Sect's martial arts.

Li Qiushui also left her unique skill "Xiao Wuxiang Gong" to her daughter, Mrs. Wang of Gusu Mantuo Villa.

And the eight account books record the 'Small Wuxiang Gong'.

The text in the account book appears to be about the income and expenditure of money, but in fact it is a method of practicing martial arts.

For example, "On the first day of the first lunar month, I collected 9,800 silver cents and paid out 8,700 silver cents." This means exhaling eight times and holding the breath seven times.

For example, "On the second day of the first lunar month, I collected eight cents and nine cents of silver, a pair of pig lungs, a pair of pig intestines, and a pair of pig hearts." This means that on the second day, after inhaling and concentrating the breath, the internal breath should circulate in the lung meridian once, intestinal meridian twice, and heart meridian once.

All these are secret words.

But it’s far more than that.

However, Xiaoyao Sect was originally a Taoist sect, and Zhou Ming had practiced in Quanzhen Sect for ten years. Knowing this secret, it would not be difficult to decipher the secret code and restore the original technique.

If things really don't work out, he still has the energy of perfection to back him up.

With this plug-in, it’s okay to go astray.

Xiao Wuxiang Gong has a great miraculous effect, that is, with this technique, you can simulate all the moves and skills in the world!

You should know that all martial arts in the world are different. Fists have their own moves, palms have their own routines, swords have their own internal strength, and swords have their own mental methods.

There may be people in the world who are extremely talented and can master five or eight unique skills.

But no one can master dozens or hundreds of unique skills.

However, in this vast martial arts world, there are more than hundreds of unique skills in the world.
If you come to this world and don’t learn those unique skills, wouldn’t it be a wasted trip?
But there are hundreds and thousands of unique skills in this world, and no one can learn them all.

Zhou Ming hadn't thought about learning all of them, but with his ambition, he would have to learn at least dozens of them, right?

In this way, Xiao Wuxiang Gong, an internal skill that can simulate all the martial arts skills in the world, became his first choice!
Now that he knew the secret and took the martial arts left by Li Qiushui, Zhou Ming would naturally not let go of the martial arts left by Wuyazi.

"Calculating the time, it's probably almost time."

Zhou Ming thought.

The Dali Kingdom and the Song Kingdom were neighbors.

Now that Ji Dian is back, Jian Yu, who has received another mission, will probably come back as well.

But before that, Zhou Ming received a call from Pei Ju first.

"Godfather, are you looking for me?"

"Ah."

Pei Ju held up an ancient scroll and asked, "How did you know about the Bei Ming Divine Art and Ling Bo Wei Bu?"

"by chance."

Pei Ju nodded and didn't ask any further questions, obviously not interested in this aspect. However, he was very interested in another aspect of the problem.

"Then do you know the effect of this Beiming Divine Art?"

"Of course I know. This technique can absorb people's internal energy and strengthen oneself. However, it can only absorb people with weaker skills than oneself, otherwise it will cause serious problems and even lead to obsession."

Zhou Ming said truthfully.

At this moment, he understood very well that the ancient scroll in Pei Ju's hand was obviously the one that recorded the two unique skills of the Xiaoyao Sect, the Beiming Divine Art and the Lingbo Weibu.

It was obvious that Jian Yu, after completing the task, did not hand the scroll to Zhou Ming, but directly gave it to Pei Ju.

Pei Ju asked, "Do you know that the Grandmaster realm is divided into three levels? What are they?"

Zhou Mingdao said, "To reach the Grandmaster level, one must cultivate one's power, body, and spirit to their peaks. In Taoist terminology, this is called the Three Flowers on the Crown."

"Indeed, then do you know how to break through the Grandmaster level and enter the Grandmaster realm?"

"Since the three flowers have gathered at the top of my head, I have given birth to the spirit of martial arts!"

"As long as you understand."

Pei Ju said, "But these eight words alone have caused countless warriors to fight their entire lives to achieve them. There are also many people who have reached the point of the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head, but still cannot take the next step. Do you know why?"

It was because of this that their skills were impure, their minds were weak, and they took shortcuts, but at the same time, they also built a mountain for themselves that they could never break through!

The power-absorbing ability of the Bei Ming Divine Art can allow you to accumulate power at an extremely fast speed, reaching innate perfection, and even breaking through to the Grandmaster level in one fell swoop... However, if you aspire to become a Grandmaster, then don't practice this art!"

Zhou Ming clasped his fists and said, "I understand my foster father's heart! I have set my sights on becoming a Grandmaster. Even if this path to becoming a master takes me a little longer, I don't want to be stuck at the peak of Grandmaster status in the future!"

"Good good!"

Pei Ju nodded with a smile on his face.

Zhou Ming said, "Then, godfather, what do you think...how should we handle this matter?"

"Leave this Beiming Divine Art in my hands."

Pei Ju reached out and slashed across the scroll, cutting it off. He handed the second half to Zhou Ming and said, "However, the other unique skill recorded in it, 'Light Footsteps on the Water', is quite exquisite. It's not much inferior to the Phantom Demon Body Technique I taught you. You can practice it and learn from it."

But Zhou Ming didn't go to answer it.

"Godfather, you misunderstood. I mean...Sword Rain Squad, how should we deal with this?"

Pei Ju paused and couldn't help but look up at Zhou Ming, and he looked carefully from top to bottom.

After a long while, he finally burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, it seems like you've really grown up... Now that those people have been handed over to you, the decision on how to deal with them should naturally be made by you."

"Yes!"

Zhou Mingdao: "I understand, son."

In front of Qianjin Pavilion.

The four of wind, rain, thunder and lightning gathered together again.

And this time, not only them, but everyone in their team was called over.

Zhou Ming smiled and said, "You four teams have done a great job in completing the tasks I assigned you. Come on, tell me what I asked you to do. Just follow the order in which you report to me. Daofeng, you go first."

"Yes! The order I received is to find three puppies. These three puppies must be..."

"Thunder!"

"My orders are to gather intelligence on one person. This person is..."

"Flash!"

"The order I received is to go to the State of Song..."

Zhou Ming called out the names one by one and listened to them all. Finally, he said, "These missions may be near or far, large or small, secret or casual. You have all done a good job. Come, Jianyu, you are the last one to report. Tell us about your mission."

Jian Yu now showed a hint of panic.

"This subordinate... Your order is to go to Wuliang Mountain in Dali Kingdom, to a cave containing a giant jade sculpture. There, I'm to retrieve a scroll containing unique martial arts techniques and hand it over... to the young master..."

"Oh, so this is the mission."

Zhou Ming said.
