Great Love for All Heavens Begins with Huang Yaoshi

Chapter 55: Tong Lao, you are the first person who makes the monk speechless (Please read on!)

Zhuang Bu Ran was unconcerned with the Tianshan Child-Grandma's gloomy expression, which seemed to indicate she might strike a ruthless blow at any moment. He said with a smile:
"So the palm technique the monk just performed is called the 'Heavenly Mountain Six Yang Palms.' This palm technique combines the yin and yang energies within the body, emphasizing the balance of hardness and softness. Each move imparts a unique blend of yin and yang energy, making it an incredibly exquisite skill. It's also the only way to dispel the 'Life and Death Talisman.'"

"And the kung fu that Tong Lao displayed only consisted of three palm techniques and three grappling techniques, for a total of six martial arts."

"But one can transform all kinds of weapons and unique skills into his own moves. It can be said that the higher the internal strength of the practitioner, the more knowledge he has. Any moves and martial arts in the world can be transformed into them."

"As for the internal energy that Tong Lao practices, the body's true qi originates from the five grains. After the grains enter the stomach and intestines, the nutrients are absorbed by the small intestine, and the true qi is collected by the middle burner, one of the three burners, and enters the upper burner. Then, it enters the twelve meridians through the lungs, enters the Ren and Du meridians through the kidney meridian, returns to the lower burner, and enters the Dantian."

"So the San Jiao actually controls the collection, dispersion, storage, and use of Qi. By strengthening the San Jiao through Qigong, one can obtain much more Qi than most martial arts in the world."

"After mastering this technique, the whole body is filled with true energy. This technique is extremely powerful and is the pinnacle of internal energy. Therefore, it must be based on the most superior internal energy to be practiced."

"After all, the triple burner meridian is ranked relatively late in the human body, even after the Ren and Du meridians."

"The most important thing is that there is another inconvenience. Every thirty years, you need to rejuvenate once. After the rejuvenation, your skills will return to their original state. If you want to restore your skills, you need to practice again every day."

The Child-Father of Tianshan said in a tone without any emotion:
"It seems that you, little monk, really didn't boast. You have really learned all the martial arts that grandma knows."

"The monk learned many martial arts from Tong Lao, and gained a lot of inspiration for martial arts. I have enjoyed exchanging martial arts with others for a long time."

Zhuang Buyan raised his eyebrows slightly:
"Is Tong Lao willing to improve the shortcomings of her own internal skills?"

"Grandma has practiced the 'Eternal Spring Kungfu' for ninety years, but she hasn't been able to address its flaws. You've only been learning it for a few days, and you're already boasting that you can fix the flaws."

Tianshan Grandma sneered:
"Haha, the little monk's boastful and arrogant appearance really shows that he has inherited a lot of my true skills."

Zhuang Bu Ran pondered and said:

"'Eternal Youth and Everlasting Youth', this name is indeed quite intimidating, but if a monk were to name it, it would probably be called 'The Eight Desolations and Six Directions, I Am the Only One's Gong'."

"Hahaha, your little monk's personality is becoming more and more to grandma's liking." The Tianshan Child-Father laughed out loud.

"Originally, this skill was supposed to be extremely yang, unsuitable for women to practice. However, it is now extremely yin, so reversing the internal energy to create ice has become a natural process. The monk has at least three methods that can make up for the shortcomings of this skill."

Zhuang Bu Ran preached in an orderly manner:

"I know two kinds of Taoist Kung Fu. One emphasizes returning to the innate state, and the other is specialized in the mutual assistance of Yin and Yang. They are quite compatible with the various martial arts that Tong Lao knows."

"By learning the essence of these two techniques, we can potentially reduce the time limit for rejuvenation, turn it from passive to active, and even completely eliminate this inconvenience."

"So, Tong Lao's current state is clearly one of demonic possession, causing a disorder in the three burners. This can probably be cured."

The Child-Fairy of Tianshan frowned slightly, obviously listening attentively.

"The second method is that the monk has a certain skill and is quite proficient in the physical body. Repairing the defects of the living is no problem at all."

As Zhuang Bu Ran spoke, he lifted his sleeves, revealing a bare arm, and with a fierce chop of his hand, the arm fell off.

Without waiting for the blood to flow out, the young monk caught the arm that had not yet fallen. He connected it to the broken arm as if he was installing a mechanism. Then a burst of white gas gushed out and the arm was as good as new.

"To avoid making Tong Lao's training ground too bloody, we won't have her arm broken off and reborn on the spot."

Zhuang Bu Ran waved his severed hand casually. "Since monks can easily repair injuries, then reshaping the meridians, harmonizing the properties of internal energy, making the rejuvenation process controllable, and even achieving the immortality of the body, is not it natural?"

The pupils of the Child-Fairy of Tianshan trembled, and she was inexplicably dazed. The scene just now was really too horrifying, like some kind of magic or sorcery.

"The third method is that the monk has another skill. The main purpose is to reverse the two energies of heaven and earth, one hard and one soft, one yin and one yang. This is also quite consistent with what Tong Lao has learned. It can stimulate potential and shift strength. It may also be used to protect the body with clever strength during the rejuvenation process to prevent the loss of strength."

The stone chamber suddenly fell silent. After an unknown amount of time, the Child-Grandmother of Tianshan spoke with a complicated expression:
"I really can't imagine who in this world could possess such extraordinary magical powers."

She paused slightly, as if she had discovered something, and said impatiently:
"Could it be that you are the last disciple of our master? He taught us attentively for a few years before he passed away."

"My dear teacher, you are a man of profound learning, like an immortal who has been banished to the mortal world. I am sure he will create many more miraculous skills in the future."

"He must have heard something about my unfilial disciple, so he sent you, Junior Brother, to Piaomiao Peak."

The young monk saw that the Tianshan Child-Fairy was getting more and more excited as she spoke, and was speechless for a moment.

"The monk has been a monk since he was young, and the only master he has ever worshipped was the most ordinary monk in Shaolin Temple."

"If you weren't my master's last disciple, how could you have mastered all my martial arts in just a few days? And with your graceful demeanor and appearance, you were born to be my Xiaoyao disciple."

Tianshan Child-Grandma said in a sonorous and powerful voice:

"You must have learned the 'Heavenly Mountain Plum Blossom Hand' and other martial arts long ago. Only in this way can you use the extraordinary Xiaoyao Sect's unique skills."

"A monk cannot be a genius who can learn all martial arts at a glance and become proficient in them after practicing them." Zhuang Bu Ran replied with a hint of helplessness.

"No matter how talented you are, at your age, how can you accumulate skills comparable to my nearly one hundred years of hard training?" Tianshan Tonglao said with a firm look:
"Master must have also taught you the 'Northern Sea Divine Art', which is why you have such profound internal strength."

"The monk seems to want to say that he doesn't know Bei Ming, but I really do know this skill." Zhuang Bu Ran's face became more and more helpless:
"But I still have to say that the monk is really not a so-called Xiaoyao Sect disciple."

"Junior brother, has our master issued any prohibition to you?" Tianshan Tonglao looked concerned.

"Tong Lao, you are the first person who makes me speechless." The young monk sighed softly.
"The monk acquired all kinds of martial arts without asking, and it's rare for him to have any thoughts of making amends, but this has led to misunderstandings. Could it be that being a reckless demon is the path that suits him best?"

When Tianshan Tonglao heard this, she didn't know what was going on in her mind, so she said directly:

"Junior brother, since Master has given the order, I naturally dare not disobey. Just assume that you and I have nothing to do with each other. Just think of it as you have learned all kinds of martial arts from me, and want to use some of your own martial arts to compensate for it."

"Forget it. After all, the monk is just a visitor to the Vulture Palace. You can think whatever you want."

Zhuang Bu Ran laughed and said:

"I'm afraid that the Kung Fu that stimulates potential and transfers your strength won't truly restore you to your original form. At most, it can help you protect yourself during your rejuvenation period. As for the Kung Fu that replenishes your flaws, it requires a very high level of character, and the training process is extremely difficult and dangerous, so it's not very suitable for you at this moment."

"Then I will use the first method to teach you how to nourish your body with your innate Qi, and then use the principles of yin and yang to regulate and nourish your body."

"Thank you, Junior Brother, for teaching me the Dharma."

In the eyes of Tianshan Tonglao, this young monk represented her own mentor, and she immediately bowed solemnly.
