On the morning of early spring, the spring is warm, flowers are blooming, and everything is growing.
On Wawu Mountain, the mountains are clear, the water is beautiful, the clouds are lingering, and the scenery is very strange.
Surrounded by this fairyland on earth, there is a Taoist sect that looks lifeless inside until the sun goes up.
No one is practicing in the courtyard, and no one is chanting sutras in the lecture hall. Even in places like the alchemy room, there is no one on duty.
Where have these people gone?
I didn’t go anywhere, I just slept in my own room.
Why do you want to ask? It's simple, because our ancestors taught us that it's not advisable to go out for activities in the morning.
How about the power of cultivating immortals? This patriarch is a man of understanding. Eighteen hundred years ahead of his time, he came up with this conclusion that is both scientifically based and in line with human nature. It is also used as a sect rule. Passed down.
Therefore, in this Xuanqi Sect, from the headmaster down to the disciples, they will not get up before or around Si hour (9 am to 11 noon).
When Huang Donglai first went up the mountain, he was really not used to this kind of work and rest. There were several times when he got up early and ran to the courtyard to practice alone. Unexpectedly, Miao Yinzi discovered this. Finally, he actually scolded him and asked him why are you so diligent? Are you trying to seize the position of leader?
These words made Huang Donglai dumbfounded. He had never heard of such a strict tradition of asking his disciples to be lazy, but since they were all on the pirate ship, he could only go with the flow.
Today, it has been a month since Huang Donglai went up the mountain, and he has become accustomed to it. Now he does not wake up before midnight every day, and cannot fall asleep before midnight.
So, what was Huang Donglai doing when he was awake during this time?
We still have to work on this...
After Chun Tatsuko slipped Huang Geti up the mountain that day, the first thing he did was naturally take him to meet him. Door.
The head of Xuanqi Sect is Miaoyinzi’s senior brother. This person’s Taoist name is very powerful, called "Fudozi".
Perhaps when you heard the nickname of his junior brother Miao Yinzi, you thought it was quite elegant, and you thought that his senior brother should also have a similar name, but in fact... things are not what you think.
Their master, the former head of the Xuanqi Sect, was an extremely unkempt person - when he gave his disciples a Taoist title, he never cared about whether it sounded good or not, but looked at his name at the time. The mood and thoughts...
The reason why Miaoyinzi is called Miaoyinzi is because he was a very poor-talking person when he first went up the mountain, so the master gave him this Taoist name, just for Remind him to beep less.
So where did the name "Fudozi" come from?
First of all, it is definitely not because he has ADHD. There was no such thing as ADHD in those days...
The master asked him to "not move" mainly because his body was "too strong" ”.
Have you all heard the term "natural power"? Just say noA person like Dongzi.
This guy has shown extremely amazing strength, endurance and explosive power since he was a child: when he was five years old, he could lift an adult, and when he was ten years old, he could carry a cow. When he was twelve years old, he was so angry that he could break a big tree with one punch.
Anatomically speaking, this kind of Hyperion constitution is the product of genetic mutation, and the probability of appearing in the population is about one in 200 million. People with this special constitution have muscle fiber density, Its softness and toughness are dozens of times that of ordinary people, and its cardiovascular and metabolic functions are also amazing.
Moreover, as age increases, or as weight and muscle mass increase, the gap between people with Hyperion physiques and ordinary people will become more and more obvious...usually when they reach their prime , this gap will also reach its peak.
So when Fudoko reaches adulthood, he is already a "superman" in the eyes of others.
Even things like "martial arts" were basically useless in front of him.
In the final analysis... "Technology" exists to make up for the gap in "strength", and the foundation of strength and defense is height and weight, muscle and fat... Of course, in this world , but also add an "internal force".
However, Fudoko has already exceeded a certain threshold in terms of "power" and has reached an area that cannot be equaled by technology. No matter how high-level a master you are, it will be the same to deal with him. In the end, The scene is roughly similar to the Sweeper vs. Hulk.
If you really want to kill him, methods such as burning, flooding, and poisoning are more effective than martial arts.
It can be imagined that the first twenty years of Fudoko's life were basically twenty years filled with "invincibility", and this invincibility was not earned through hard work, but was rewarded by God.
If you leave him alone, there is a high probability that he will live like a "red plum bird".
Fortunately... when he was twenty years old, he met a wandering old Taoist, who was his later master, and took him directly to the mountain.
Since then, he has gradually changed from a person who is accustomed to using "power" to solve all problems, to the "immovable man" who can use his words but never uses his hands.
Of course, for Huang Donglai, who did not know the past experience of the leader, except that he thought the leader's Taoist name was a bit strange, he did not see any "muscular Taoist" in the other person. Signs are coming.
The visit was also very ordinary. They only chatted for a few words, and Fudozi said: "Since you are very close to Junior Brother Mianyinzi, then you should worship him as your master." , I will be your uncle from now on."
He decided without even asking Miao Yinzi, who was not present at the time, if he agreed.
What's even more amazing is that when Huang Donglai informed Mianyinzi of the news later, the latter only replied: "Okay." It seemed that the matter of who they wanted to be their teacher was something they didn't know. It's as casual as having a meal together.
Compared with the culture in the martial arts world where the master-disciple relationship and unique martial arts are of paramount importance, the common sense here seems to be the opposite.
In this Xuanqi Sect, everything seems to be "let nature take its course", "casual", "muddling through"...
No one will care about "your "The master is senior to me", or "Your apprentice is more talented than me"; no one would think, "This Taoist method is very subtle, I have finally mastered it, I want to keep it secret, and at most I will only pass it on to myself." A trusted disciple", or "This elixir is very good, even if I can't use it for the time being, I will keep it and not give it to others."
Even... no one cares about the position of leader.
As mentioned in the previous article, according to seniority, Chunchenzi is Miaoyinzi’s uncle, which means that the head master Fuzi is also his nephew. As for this relationship, if it is placed on the world , once the former head dies, there will be a bloody storm within the sect.
But this is not the case in Xuanqi Sect...
Here, the former head becomes the Immortal Queen. Not only do these guys not compete for the position of head, they even try to blame each other. Meaning, because the leader is relatively more troublesome.
At first, Huang Donglai really didn't understand this kind of custom, but as time went by, he understood that this was normal for these veterans.
Why does a person who cultivates immortality and seek Taoism have to "fight"?
People in this world "fight" for fame and fortune; what do religious people fight for? If you win the battle, can you ascend to immortality as soon as possible?
On the contrary, as long as you have this "competition" mentality, you will be completely opposite to the matter of "getting the Tao".
Every day, they compete for skills, talents, natural resources, and the position of the leader... The sects are fighting each other, and the same party and the opposite... How can this be a Taoist sect? Only Jianghu sects would be like this.
Huang Donglai also spent some time in Xuanqi Sect to reverse this logic. He didn't understand everything in the first few days after arriving.
He also asked Mianyinzi in a silly manner: "Master, I have officially become your teacher now. I also know that it is impossible for you to teach me the exercises from the beginning. Yes, do I have to start from the basics of honing one’s character, such as carrying water and chopping firewood?”
Miaoyinzi rolled her eyes at him and replied: “You think we are?” Is this the Shaolin Temple? Why don’t you chop the green onions and pick the dung?”
Obviously, even he knows the Shaolin Temple’s routine of exploiting the lower class disciples...
"Of course, the disciples in charge of the kitchen will be responsible for carrying water and chopping firewood. They all work in conjunction with the magic. They can take care of it for ten days at a time. Do you want me?" Miao Yinzi then said, "I tell you, we are here It is a Taoist sect, not a Buddhist sect. It does not engage in Zen asceticism. If you want to hone your mind, just borrow a few scriptures and read them. Don’t think about enduring hardships all day long to change the Taoism. Enlightenment is not like that. Do you know?"
Huang Donglai was stunned when he heard this, and could only ask tentatively: "What do you mean?..."
"I will teach you the basic Qi training method first. Anyway, you have nothing to do when you are idle. "Miaoyinzi replied in a matter-of-fact tone.
This is what happened on the first day Huang Donglai officially became a disciple, but until a month later, he did not learn the "Wuqi" thing on that first day. Practice "Wu Qi Gong" well.
Even though this Kung Fu is called "Wu Qi Gong", in fact it is really difficult.
Compared with this "Wu Qi Gong", Huang Donglai I feel that the Huangmen Internal Skills I have been practicing since I was a child is funny. If I use a game metaphor, the complexity of the former is comparable to three-dimensional chess, while the latter is like playing with mud.
Back then, Bai Ruhong was in Xuanqi Sect. After staying there for several years, I only learned the introductory set of "Wu Qi Gong" and a set of basic swordsmanship "Wangyun Sword", and I didn't "practice" them. I just memorized the mental techniques and memorized the moves. ; Until later, after he had been down the mountain for many years, he had been practicing these two skills and improving continuously.
After seeing this unique skill, Huang Donglai finally understood why these monks kept practicing. Hundreds of years? Because it really can’t be practiced without spending so long.
In this way, Brother Huang continued to practice until winter turned to spring, and he was finally able to run the "Wu Qi Gong" relatively smoothly. , in other words, he finally reached the "first level" of this skill. As for when he can reach the second level... it's hard to say. After all, Bai Ruhong has practiced for decades and has only reached the fifth level. That's all.
On the other hand, when Miao Yinzi saw that his apprentice had learned a skill, he naturally came to teach new things.
In the spirit of "relying on fate". In principle, that day, Miao Yinzi wandered around again and picked up this skill. According to his estimation... he threw this book to Huang Donglai. The latter would have to practice for at least a year and a half before he could master it. .
Of course that is not the point. The main reason why Miaoyinzi came to Huang Dong today was not to give him a new skill, but to give him a "Tao name"
