Chapter 105: The five elements are out of balance and a ladder to heaven
The place to eat on Fuyao Mountain is called the Wu Zang Temple. The strokes of these three words on the plaque are quite humorous.
After dark, the lights here are brightly lit.
Not only Su Hanshan and the others who woke up, but also many people in the main helm came to eat and get food at this time.
The lobby is as lively as the busiest inn in Lin'an City, with steam and aroma.
The dishes are all like home-cooked dishes, including several seasonal vegetables and melons mixed with water, stewed chicken soup, spring onion and egg drop soup, bacon and bamboo shoot soup, boiled broad beans, sliced pepper meat, braised pork, soy sauce meat, and braised duck.
It seems to be very simple to make, but when you actually eat it, the taste is just right. The meat is rich, spicy and refreshing, the clear soup is appetizing, and the melon slices relieve greasiness.
Su Hanshan loved the sweet sauced pork the most. He took several portions and ate them happily.
They all have big appetites. Even Zhang Shuwei, who is used to keeping in good health and does not want to overeat, is tired from traveling all the way. Now that he has finally settled down, he eats more.
But in the end, Zhang Shuwei was the first to eat and go out for a walk.
There were no lights outside the yard, but the moonlight was very bright, illuminating the bamboo shadows clearly and falling on the ground.
Zhang Shuwei walked around twice and saw Li Qiumian in the pavilion in the distance, listening to several people reporting something.
He did not get close, and waited until those people dispersed before walking over there.
“The matters regarding Feilai Peak’s Western Route have not been settled yet?”
“The arrangements have been made over there.”
There was a lingering gloom in Li Qiumian's expression. Faced with this problem, the corners of his lips curled up slightly and he said with a smile, "It would take me a long time to figure out even such a thing. How have we been able to figure it out all these years?" Did you manage the business in Fuyao Mountain well?"
Zhang Shu asked curiously: "Who did you send to do it?"
The eight major guests in Fuyao Mountain are famous, and the four major disciples are also famous.
But the eight major guest ministers have their own careers, and the four major disciples are obviously not yet in charge of their own affairs.
Compared with Kuanggu Hall, there are five halls in the main altar, thirteen foreign affairs halls, and the illustrious names of the hall masters and incense masters of branch halls all over the world, it seems that there is a shortage of talents in Fuyao Mountain.
However, if someone makes a careful comparison, they will find that the growth rate of Fuyao Mountain's power in recent years is actually still higher than that of Kuang Gutang.
It’s just that the people in Fuyao Mountain are not all members of the martial arts world, but are scattered in all walks of life, so that the backbone of those who are truly strong in martial arts and can get things done can also be in the same league.
It is said that those who are good at fighting have no great achievements. Leaders who are truly good at doing things can not only unite a large number of talents around them, but also make these talents work seamlessly together in daily life.
So much so that it is hard to tell that there are multiple people taking action. Instead, it seems that there is only one leader, who is promoting all aspects of the cause and advancing bravely.
Li Qiumian mentioned several names, but Zhang Shuwei had never heard of them.
"In terms of martial arts, they may not be as good as Chaoyang, which is about the same level as the masters of the Thirteen Halls outside Kuanggu Hall, but the connections they have built around Lin'an for many years, once activated simultaneously, can determine the success or failure of this matter."
Li Qiumian took a sip of tea and said, "Of course, the most important thing is Yes, it’s because Su Hanshan caused Kuanggutang’s wing over there to suffer a heavy blow unexpectedly. Otherwise, it would be difficult for us to find an opportunity to make a move.”
Zhang Shuwei sat across from him, keeping a close eye on himself. I poured a cup of tea, didn't ask any questions, and just sat there drinking tea with him.
After a while, Li Qiumian sighed.
"I tried every possible means to find you, but I was neither in a hurry to let you see my mother nor let you take my pulse. You should have some guesses in your mind."
Li Qiumian said calmly, "Actually, there is something wrong with Marshal Meng's health. Three years ago, he had a premonition and talked to me. Over the past three years, his condition seemed to have been getting worse."
"But Things were busy at the border and he couldn't stay away , the famous doctor I sent secretly can’t diagnose anything. He will go back to Beijing to discuss a major matter with the emperor recently, so he will come back to you and take good care of him.”
Zhang Shuwei pinched the teacup. His hand stopped in mid-air, his expression complex.
But before he could say anything, Li Qiumian had already continued talking on her own.
“This matter itself is very worrying, but the fact that the news about his serious illness has spread before there is a diagnosis is even more worrying.”
"They came here just now to tell me that the news has been leaked from the palace."
After speaking, Li Qiumian drank up the tea in one gulp, chewing the tea leaves slowly in his mouth, his face gloomy unknown.
When he was looking for famous doctors from all over the world, he used so many tricks to spread suspicion and spent so much effort, he finally successfully invited Zhang Shuwei over, and also kept this piece of news that would inevitably cause turmoil. .
As a result, I turned around and found that the news had been exposed from the other side, ha! Oh!
After thinking about it for a moment, Uncle Zhang felt angry for him, and said: "I have heard about the emperor's reputation in recent years, but how come he can be so omitted on such a big matter?"< br>
The emperor was not an unintelligent person. If he had shown the agility and intelligence he had when he seized power from Shi Miyuan, and had the assistance of Dong Songchen and others around him, the news would never be leaked.
"Oh, I hope he is just addicted to pleasure and his ability has deteriorated. That is why he fails to achieve anything and fails more than he does. I am afraid that he has unconsciously become suspicious of Marshal Meng, so he is doing these things. So careless Shen."
Li Qiumian said in a deep voice, "In the past two years, I really want to find an opportunity to feed him some poison that needs to be detoxified regularly to control him."
"Prime Minister Fan. He also told me that in the first half of the year, he Due to the death of his own son, he insisted on making his nephew, who had a brain disease as a child and whose intellectual response was significantly lower than ordinary people, the crown prince. No matter how much Prime Minister Fan tried to dissuade him, he refused to select a talented adopted son from the private clan. "
Zhang When Shu Wei heard this, he was obviously choked. He drank most of the cup of tea silently, and finally said: "I have many such poisons, and there are several of them. I guarantee that no one can detoxify them except me." ”
Li Qiumian was slightly stunned and laughed.
What he said was just angry words. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to do it, but that he couldn’t do it.
There are many masters around the emperor, especially Dong Songchen, the head of the chamberlain. Even Li Qiumian feels that he can't see through it, and he may have reached the master level.
If Fuyaoshan rashly attacks the emperor, it will only worsen the situation faster.
“I originally wanted to wait for you to have a diagnosis in person, but now it seems that it is better to prepare early.”
Li Qiumian got up and took Zhang Shuwei to his study room. He fumbled for a while with a lantern, unlocked several mechanisms, and opened a hidden compartment.
In the hidden compartment is a yellowed booklet and multiple diagnosis records.
"This is..."
Zhang Shuwei opened the booklet and asked in surprise, "The manual of Shaohao Yin Fu Dao?"
Li Qiumian nodded: "Meng The marshal had completely finished tempering his lungs three years ago and began to focus on other organs. It was at that time that he discovered that he would experience severe pain in his liver."
"His military advisors and the people I sent could only diagnose some minor problems and could not confirm the real root problem. However, according to Marshal Meng's introspection, it is said that the five elements of Qi are out of balance between the five internal organs."
< br>"The lungs belong to metal, the liver belongs to wood, and metal overcomes wood, so he developed liver disease. In the past three years, he first tried to temper the liver, but the condition worsened. After recuperating, he turned to tempering the kidneys. , hoping to alleviate the condition through metal producing water and water producing wood."
"Now it seems that it has obviously failed."
"You have to understand his condition. These diagnostic records add up. , maybe not as important as this sword manual."
Zhang Shuwei frowned: "In terms of martial arts alone, I am not as good as you."
"You just can't beat me, but in terms of martial arts theory, you are much more knowledgeable than me."
Li Qiumian said slowly, "Moreover, after discussing with Marshal Meng, I vaguely felt that we need to solve the problem of the five internal organs and the five elements. Qi imbalance problem, You can't just focus on the five internal organs. "
"The five elements are interfering with each other. No matter which one is tempered more intensively, it may cause a certain organ to be inhibited."
< br>"Perhaps, in another This is the correct way to solve the problem by starting from the basis of the human body, which has less obvious attribute bias, so as to strengthen the regulation of the vitality of the internal organs by the entire human body, so that the organs that have been tempered first will not oppress the affected organs. ”
Li Qiumian's eyes were shining, and she stared at Zhang Shuwei, "The reason why I sent a large number of people to find you first is not only because you have the best medical skills and you are an old friend, but also because you seemed to have said that back then..."< br>
"Tempering the spine is the right way?"
Zhang Shuwei looked astonished.
Although he insisted that the most correct way to enter the realm of reincarnation was to temper the spine first, he never thought for a moment that people who had already gone very far on the path of a master would suffer backlash. It can also be solved by tempering the spine.
"It is indeed possible."
Uncle Zhang looked at the sword manual slightly and murmured, "But Lao Mengdu has already tempered his entire lungs, and he needs to be able to do both in this state. Repairing the spine route is much more difficult than taking the spine route from the beginning.”
"I need a master who has taken this path, or even someone who has taken this path to become a master, to confirm each other with Lao Meng."
Li Qiumian said: "We also thought of this, in the past three years , already looking for..."
Zhang Shuwei Interrupting him directly: "Can the person you found compare to Su Hanshan?"
Li Qiumian was stunned: "Hanshan takes the spine route? Didn't he train his eyes?"
< br>"Oh, you seem to have misunderstood something."
Zhang Shuwei covered the sword manual, punched the cover of the book, and smiled. "Not only does he follow the spine route, but there is probably no one in the world who is closer to the master state than him on this route." Li Qiumian was surprised by this. I'm happy, but I can't help but feel a little suspicious. : "Can there be such good luck? Such a person happened to be met by us at this time."
"I think you were reincarnated in Li Family, I have used all the good things. After so many years of hard work, I can’t even do it. You know what true good luck looks like."
Zhang Shuwei saw his doubts and felt a little dissatisfied, and said, "Zheng Dao gave an old beggar half a bun on the roadside and was immediately punished by him. marrow, improved qualifications, and also gave a book of almost The Tianzhu magic that can reach the master."
"When he joins Kuanggu Hall, their chief leader happens to be a master who practices both Zen and Tantric Buddhism and understands the essence of Tianzhu martial arts. In your opinion. , is this a coincidence?”
Li Qiumian smiled and said: "I have heard all Chaoyang's narration, and I have personally seen the look in your eyes on the boat. Although I think it is a coincidence, I do not doubt Hanshan's intentions."
Zhang Shuwei remembered that Su Hanshan looked as if he had never been there She has been practicing the Pure Yang Kung Fu since she was still in her womb, and it has become so instinctive that she has such a solid foundation that she can’t help but sigh: “Maybe it’s really God. Please take pity on us and give us such an opportunity."
"Reading the books in Fuyao Mountain and the acupuncture techniques I promised to help him improve his martial arts are the rewards he deserves. "
"Now it seems that we should do our best to give him more help."
Li Qiumian nodded sincerely.
The night is long and will eventually end. The Jade Rabbit travels westward, and the dawn gradually emerges in the east.
Su Hanshan ate and drank enough, and rested very energetically. He changed into dry clothes. In the early morning, he only had a bowl of porridge and then walked to Kuzhou Pavilion.
On the way he looked up and saw a very familiar scenery.
The sun and the moon are in opposition, rising in the east and falling in the west. It sounds like when one jumps out of the horizon, the other should just disappear under the horizon.
But in fact, Su Hanshan often saw in his previous life that the moon had almost reached its zenith before the sunset, and both the sun and the moon were in the south of the sky.
Now looking at Fuyao Mountain, among the sea of clouds in the east, the hazy orange-red sun has revealed most of its outline.
The moon is still hanging high in the western sky, and it will take at least an hour before it truly disappears.
This feeling of reunion after a long separation made him smile.
But when he actually walked to Kuzhou Pavilion, he was a little surprised to find that Li Qiumian and Zhang Shuwei were standing beside the long table in the lobby, waiting for him.
“I have heard from Brother Zhang that you want to join other martial arts schools, experience the mysteries of other parts of the human body, compare and verify, and have a deeper understanding of the way to temper the spine.”
Li Qiumian patted the piles of books on the table and said, "I have checked out all the parts that may be suitable for you. You and Brother Zhang can take a look and decide on a more secure order."
Su Hanshan clasping fists Said: "Thank you!"
He walked to the table and sat down, and started reading quietly. After a while, he had made up his mind and decided to start with the binocular-focusing method "Kong Fang Rulun" Get the Magic Shooting Technique and experience it.
This set of mental techniques is said to be practiced by sharpshooters. After practicing it, if you stare at a copper coin from fifty steps away, you will feel that the copper coin is as big as a wheel, and even the smallest wear and tear can be clearly seen.
If you shoot people with such eyesight, no matter what kind of armor, it will be difficult to prevent an arrow that sneaks in through the cracks.
It is a pity that the collection of books in Fuyao Mountain cannot cover all parts of the human body.
Among these mental methods, there are obvious emphasis and proven effectiveness. Currently, only the eyes, ears, nose and throat, heart, liver, spleen and lungs, gallbladder, metacarpal bones and foot bones are the parts.
Su Hanshan quickly transformed some of his internal energy into the state of the first mental method, and tried to figure out the unique feeling of nourishing his eyes with the characteristics of this internal energy.
During this process, Li Qiumian and Zhang Shuwei have also been reading books in Kuzhou Pavilion.
Zhang Shuwei also looked through various collections, and even focused on the medical and military classics related to "eyes".
However, Li Qiumian seemed to be dealing with Fuyao Mountain's business documents, and he didn't know why he stayed here instead of going to his study.
The three of them didn't talk to each other. They just spent most of the day peacefully and contentedly. Someone also brought food at noon.
In the afternoon, Zhang Shuwei got up on his own initiative.
“I said before that you don’t need to master all these mental skills, you just need to experience them, and acupuncture can try to deepen this experience.”
Zhang Shuwei said, “ I have also studied the mental method you are now savoring, and I am ready to take the injection. However, because Lao Li is here, I have an additional method that I have not mentioned to you before.”
Su Hanshan asked curiously: "What?"
Li Qiumian looked up from the document: "I will temporarily seal your Dantian with my own skills, weakening the operation of skills in other parts of your body, leaving only the eyes. The inner energy is dense."
At this point, there was a slight look of disapproval on his face.
“Actually, I think this method is a bit redundant. A martial artist’s perception of the body depends to a large extent on the blessing of internal strength.”
“Suppress other parts of your body. The internal power seems to make the feelings in your eyes more vivid, but in fact it affects the integrity of the martial artist's perception, and the experience becomes less delicate. Over and over again, the progress of your practice will not suppress you, you should Pretty much the same.”
Uncle Zhang smiled and said: "I also made a guess. Try it first, you won't suffer any loss."
Su Hanshan also agreed to try, and the three of them took action.
Su Hanshan just sat on the chair, put his hands on the armrests, closed his eyes, Zhang Shuwei applied acupuncture on him, and Li Qiumian stretched out a palm, pressed his back, and exerted a strong force, Slowly suppress it.
Because Su Hanshan did not resist, Li Qiumian soon felt that he had successfully suppressed all the opponent's internal forces except his eyes.
It wasn’t long before Li Qiumian discovered something surprising.
The internal energy in Su Hanshan's meridians has clearly been suppressed, but the aura all over his body is still in a state of smooth circulation, pure and seamless.
It was as if besides the internal energy suppressed by Li Qiumian, there was still a very fine inner energy that even a master like him could not control accurately. It continued to circulate despite his suppression.
Li Qiumian looked at Zhang Shuwei and raised his eyebrows.
Zhang Shuwei showed an expression that was indeed the case, and used the "ant language sound transmission" method to condense the sound into a line and transmit it to Li Qiumian's ears.
“Hanshan mentioned before that he had already begun to practice the art of breathing and breathing in and out of internal energy when he was a child. During the fastest development stage, his internal energy coexisted and grew with it, and he never slacked off.”< br>
"So to others, internal force is something that needs to be used deliberately to be produced, but for Hanshan, internal force is already a part of his body function. Even if he does not exercise, as long as he breathes normally, he will produce it. Internal strength."
"It's just that he is too diligent. As long as he is awake, there is basically no time when he is not exercising, so maybe even he himself doesn't know this."
Li Qiumian understands this. , the message said: "So, unless he is beaten to death, It is obvious that he is disabled, otherwise even I would not be able to completely suppress the integrity of his whole body's perception."
"In this way, he can maintain complete and delicate perception while also gaining access to it. A distinct and unique experience? ”
Zhang Shuwei nodded: "A warrior's physique that can only be cultivated by focusing to an unknown extent since childhood can also help us solve problems, so I say that this is really like an opportunity given to us by God. ”
Acupuncture should not be continued for too long.
Nearly an hour later, Zhang Shuwei observed and pulled out the silver needle, and Li Qiumian also withdrew his palm.
The moment Su Hanshan opened his eyes, there seemed to be a circle of bright light, blooming from the pupil to the entire eye, then shrinking back, converging into a needle-like light, hidden in the pupil.
“This feeling is really novel.”
Su Hanshan stood up and glanced around, looking at Li Qiumian who had a slight sweat on his forehead, “This kind of training method is very effective, but if you do it every day It would be too much trouble to ask the mountain master to help here.”
"It doesn't matter. You should be repaid for saving Qiu Mian and escorting Brother Zhang. Besides, I have something else to ask for."
Anyway, the news that Meng Zhaoxuan was seriously ill had been leaked, and Li Qiumian was not so cautious. He persisted and told the whole story directly.
"It means that after I break through, I will describe my feelings in detail and help deduce a set of secrets to solve the shortcomings of Marshal Meng's exercises."
After Su Hanshan listened, he said: Ran smiled and said, "Such a double I have no reason to refuse the win."
Li Qiumian was relieved. He saw Su Hanshan's talent in martial arts with his own eyes. In the past three years, this heavy stone has been on his mind. Finally it became looser again.
I hope everything goes well. After Marshal Meng comes back, he will solve the shortcomings of the technique, and at least the form will not collapse.
However, during the days when he was assisting Su Hanshan in practicing martial arts, he was also wary of the movements of various forces and handling affairs.
The chief helmsman of Fuyao Mountain received two troublesome messages one after another.
First, the emperor wanted to summon Zhang Shuwei and Su Hanshan.
Second, Shen Weiran, the master of Kongmeng Pavilion in the East China Sea, sent a message saying that the news that Meng Zhaoxuan was seriously ill had somehow reached the Annan Kingdom, and Chen Shouzhi, the emperor's uncle of the Annan Kingdom, wanted to visit Lin'an.
From this, it is possible that Dali and the Mongol Khanate have also learned about this matter.
Those who have strength and status in the world, who are looking forward to Meng Zhaoxuan's recovery and who want to ensure that Meng Zhaoxuan cannot survive, will definitely try to reach out to Lin'an City.
