Great Love for All Heavens Begins with Huang Yaoshi

Chapter 103 The Master of the Seven Killings
A few days later.

The story of Qing Jingyuan, the master of Xinjingzhai, caused a sensation throughout the world. Not only was the entire Yuwen clan, one of the four great clans, wiped out, but even Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty was forced to death in the Daxing Palace, and many princes and ministers were buried with him.

Once such horrifying news spread, the whole world fell silent, and all forces could not believe that Yang Guang would suddenly die in the deep palace.

You should know that the imperial palace has internal and external forbidden areas all year round, the guards are extremely strict, and there are endless masters, making it difficult for any outsider to enter.

Moreover, he was forced into the palace by a single person, who treated the army as nothing and displayed his demonic powers, bringing down the so-called heavenly punishment, defeating the imperial guards and poisoning Emperor Yang Guang to death in the Daxing Palace.

No matter who heard this news, they would find it incredible. Such inhuman power was like listening to a story. Even the three great masters of the time could not compare to it. The more they listened, the more they felt that someone was trying to spread rumors and cause trouble.

However, the many soldiers who escaped from the palace that day and survived, although they looked terrified and fearful, they all swore solemnly when they spoke, and even swore on their lives.

One or two would be fine, but all those who saved their lives said that the regicide, who was so beautiful that it seemed unreal, was a demon-like existence. No matter how much they didn't want to believe it, they had no choice but to believe it.

All those who have great ambitions and evil intentions are extremely wary of him, and they even issued an order that if they meet a young man with white hair and blue clothes who has a stunning appearance, they must pay attention to etiquette and be extremely respectful.

Naturally, they thought that such a strong man could kill the Sui Emperor in the face of thousands of troops, so killing these self-proclaimed kings would be easy for him.

Also because of the Seven Killings Poem that shook Daxing City that day, a master of the Seven Killings appeared in the martial arts world, whose deterrent power far exceeded that of the three great masters of the time.

Dongping County.

A group of people strolled in the busy city.

"Master, what level of martial arts have you reached?"

Kou Zhong seemed to have endured for a long time, but seeing the blue-shirted youth's leisurely and happy figure, he couldn't help but ask:
"How can one fly, hide in the ground, and regenerate a broken arm?"

Zhuang Bu Ran chuckled:
"Haha, are you planning to find out my master's realm so you can kill him in the future?"

"Uh, disciple, I dare not." Kou Zhong's face froze.

Just as Xu Ziling was about to plead for mercy, the young man in blue said slowly:
"I have already grasped the essence of the 'Eternal Life Secret', the principle of harmony between man and nature. Could it be that you still don't know that you practice martial arts, while I cultivate Taoism?"

"The cultivation of Taoism that Master mentioned, could it be the cultivation of immortality?" Kou Zhong could hardly hide the look of surprise and uncertainty on his face.

"Only cultivating life without cultivating nature is the first problem in cultivation. However, cultivating ancestral nature without cultivating elixir is difficult for the Yin spirit to become a saint. Martial arts are just a means for me to cultivate life and nature."

The young man in blue shirt said casually:
"Through martial arts, I've learned the secrets hidden in the human body. These are far more than just the three major secrets of Dantian, Tanzhong, and Zuqiao. There are also more than just the twelve main meridians, the eight extraordinary meridians, the three imperial meridians, and the twenty-eight branch meridians. It's also more than just muscles, bones, and blood."

"The human body has internal organs, acupuncture points as dense as stars, and nine natural orifices, such as eyes, ears, mouth and nose."

"I opened up my Dantian, accumulated true Qi, and first tempered my Qi channels and body. Then I turned to the internal organs and acupoints, opening the nine natural orifices."

"When the nine orifices were opened, the contemplation of the white bones I realized greatly improved my meditation skills. According to Buddhism, this is the practice of the four meditations and eight concentrations."

"So, after condensing the Ancestral Acupoint between the Eyebrows, I evolved a miniature world within my body by adjusting my own true qi, spirit, and blood. I call this the Inner Scenery World."

"Then I continued to refine the ancestral orifice between my eyebrows and evolved the inner world, in order to gradually adjust the inner world so that it would perfectly match the outer world."

When Kou and Xu heard this, although they seemed to understand it but not quite, they grasped the key point keenly. In order to make the so-called inner and outer world fit perfectly, they needed the way of unity between man and nature as described in "The Secret of Immortality".

In this way, this Taoist book really helped him find the way to become an immortal. No wonder it had the power to destroy an army by itself.

The two looked at each other and silently memorized the secret of cultivating immortals that the blue-shirted youth had just said. They also practiced the "Secret of Immortality" and wondered if they could also embark on the path of immortality in the future.

By then, I won’t be able to achieve immortality, but living for hundreds of years should not be a problem.

Susu, who was standing by, was confused by what she heard, but she understood a little bit. This Qingzhai Master seemed to be practicing martial arts, but in fact he was cultivating immortality. He was indeed the Qishazhai Master who was like a man from heaven.

"Master, Transformation and Flying are the achievements of Circulating the Six Voids."

Xu Ziling suddenly realized:
"Regeneration of Creation, could it be your martial art that reverses the mind and body and returns them to the innate Qi?"

After hearing this, Kou Zhong immediately came to his senses and felt regretful. He shouldn't have been so timid in the beginning. As the saying goes, too many lice don't itch, and too many debts don't worry.

When he thought about the martial arts that were once considered to be the skills for cultivating immortals, which were right in front of him, but he missed it because of his timidity, he felt more and more regretful.

He couldn't help but glance at Xu Ziling and noticed that he also had a deep look of annoyance in his eyes. Zhuang Bu Ran also noticed the emotions of the two and laughed:
"I have told you all my experiences in cultivation. I hope that you will work hard in the future and bring me some surprises."

After saying that, he strode towards the south of the city. Kou and Xu shook their heads helplessly and hurriedly followed him with Susu.

Outside a huge mansion in the south of the city, there was a lot of traffic and it was very lively. Inside and outside the door, the lights were bright, people were coming and going, and the sounds of laughter could be heard everywhere.

There were more than thirty big men in blue clothes outside the gate of the house, maintaining order and preventing idle people from blocking the street and hindering the guests' carriages from entering the house.

"The banquet attracted hundreds of idle people, and judging by the carriages and horses that entered, they were either wealthy businessmen or high-ranking officials."

Kou Zhong sighed:
"This host family must be hosting a birthday or wedding banquet or something like that. It's quite lively."

"Master, you wouldn't want to join the banquet as well?"

Xu Ziling asked in disbelief. In his impression, his mentor seemed casual and unrestrained, but in fact his temperament was as indifferent and lofty as the way of heaven, without any worldly airs. How come he seemed to have come to Dongping County specially for this banquet?

"Master, we don't have an invitation. Can we sneak in like this?" Kou Zhong suddenly said.

Zhuang Bu Ran said with his hands behind his back:

"Recently, I've gained the title of Master of the Seven Killings Zhai. I think the owner of this house will give me some face."

Kou Zhong immediately understood what he meant when he heard it. He strode forward, summoning his ever-increasing Qi, and said loudly:

"The owner of Xinjingzhai has come to visit the owner of your house. Please meet him."

Suddenly, there was silence inside and outside the huge mansion. In recent times, the words "Xin Jing Zhai Zhu" have been the most popular. Countless people want to find out the origins of Qi Sha Zhai Zhu.

It’s because Cihang Jingzhai was clearly founded by a woman, so how come there is a male leader, or a new Jingzhai?

Not long after, a middle-aged scholar came out, followed by a ragged and mighty old man.

The first thing they did when they came out was to fix their eyes on the man in the blue shirt and bamboo hat, then noticed his waist-length white hair. In particular, they realized that if they hadn't seen the person with their own eyes, they would have felt that there was nothing in front of them, and there would be no one at all. Besides being horrified, they felt that the reputation of the man was well-deserved.

"Wang Tong meets Master Qingzhai."

"Ouyang Xiyi greets Master Qingzhai."

The young man in blue shirt walked slowly towards us:

"One of you is the owner of this house, a great scholar of our time, and the other has been famous for at least forty years. You are of the same generation as Ning Daoqi, the number one in the Xuan Sect. In terms of martial arts, you are both not inferior to the masters of the Four Clans."

"I, the uninvited guest, should be the first to show courtesy."

"Master Qingzhai is too modest. To Master Qingzhai, the leaders of the Four Clans are insignificant figures."

Wang Tong heard the tone of his voice and realized that he was not a rebellious and difficult to deal with guest. His tense expression relaxed slightly and he said:

"I wonder what Master Qingzhai is here for?"

"I have nothing to do and want to listen to some music. Is that okay?" Zhuang Buyan said leisurely.

"Master Qingzhai's coming will only make my humble house more glorious." Wang Tong breathed a sigh of relief and raised his hand to signal:
"please."

As the young man in blue shirt walked in without any hesitation, Kou Zhong and the other two looked at each other in surprise.

"Xiao Ling, do you think that given our mentor's personality, he would come here specifically to listen to music?"

Without waiting for Xu Ziling to reply, Susu said in surprise:
"Why not? I heard that Master Shi Qingxuan is a remarkable woman known throughout the world. Her flute skills are astounding to her contemporaries. Everyone who has heard of her is in awe of her. It's only natural that this has aroused Master Qingzhai's curiosity."

After hearing this, Kou and Xu were silent for a while, and then Xu Ziling said something that Susu was more familiar with.

“If my mentor came here specifically to listen to the music, I’d rather believe that Shi Changguan can comprehend the essence of the ‘Eternal Life Secret’.”
