Chapter 49: Assassin Shang Qu, meeting Zhenwu, lighting lamps, training and preaching (6400)
Outside Taizhou City, in a courtyard.
The main room was closed, and the only sound that could be heard was the whistling wind coming from it.
Two Dongchang fans brought by Lu Fang from Ouchi stood on both sides. Although they stood upright, their eyes kept darting inwards.
It had been four days since Eunuch Lu entered, and he had not eaten or drank during this period. However, the noise became more and more intense, making people suspicious of what had changed.
Although the two Dongchang fans were worried, they did not dare to make the slightest move.
After all, although the Chief Priest of Ceremonies is usually kind, he has accumulated great authority in the inner court. He is known as the "ancestor" and has unparalleled power. Who dares to disturb him when he is in retreat?
According to the practice of the past four days, this movement will not last long and will gradually calm down, but this time it is completely different.
The sound coming from the secret room became stronger and stronger, and the window frames shook more and more loudly. Even the two heavy wooden doors shook, as if they were about to be blown away by invisible waves.
This place was originally the private property of a certain Yuanwai Lang in Taizhou, but after hearing Zhu Tiandu's call, he fled north with his family, leaving only an empty courtyard hanging outside the city.
This was convenient for Lu Fang, who had no place to stay in Taizhou. The first thing he did when he arrived was to mobilize manpower to reinforce the pillars, floors, doors and windows of the house, turning the courtyard into a temporary Practice room and confidential room.
But at this moment, the main room, which had been heavily reinforced and fortified, actually let out an overwhelmed whine.
The two of them could even see wisps of white breath escaping from the cracks in the door, like gunpowder smoke carrying strong heat. Even though they were separated by the wooden door, they felt that the yard suddenly became hot.
Even though these two people were both Dongchang elites trained by Lu Fang himself, and both had extraordinary boxing skills, they still felt their eardrums stinging, their brains concussed, and their vision went black.
With a "bang", the two solid wooden doors flew up and hit the floor heavily, breaking into countless pieces and causing smoke and dust to spread everywhere.
Although the two of them were stung by the sound, they were still great boxers after all. Their bodies were nimble and they lifted and jumped to avoid the door. However, they looked at the door with uncontrollable fear in their eyes.
——What kind of boxing is Eunuch Lu practicing? !
These two solid wooden doors weighed over a hundred kilograms. A powerful boxer with the power of thunder could indeed smash them into pieces, but he would have to do so with all his strength.
But for people like Lu Fang, who can only use "sound strike" to exhale, to have the effect of a great boxer going all out, it is simply unimaginable and unheard of.
In their eyes, they saw that the room was filled with mist, white and slightly reddish, and had a fishy smell,
Lu Fang was standing in the room, closing his eyes and doing his exercises. All the furnishings, tables and chairs around him, even the masonry under his feet and the tiles above his head were all broken and cracked, and the floor was in a mess.
This person who usually pays great attention to appearance is now in tattered clothes and wet all over. On his exposed skin, there are black and red flesh bumps.
His skin and flesh are constantly trembling, and the large and small tendons are twisting and contracting rapidly under the flesh. The bones are rubbing and rotating, twisting into an appearance that is not human-like. Every time the tendons bounce, there will be a fine crackling sound, like invisible electric sparks. splash.
With the last twist, Lu Fang's head and face to the soles of his feet surged with water, vibrating at the same time, making a huge explosion sound like hundreds or thousands of kilograms of gunpowder exploding, and black and red blood beads shot out from his body, lead. Ziban hit the four walls.
The two great boxers felt like they were struck by lightning, their brains exploded, their eyes went dark, and it took an unknown amount of time before they regained consciousness.
When they opened their eyes again, the peaceful aura, Yuan Ting Yue Zhi, like an ancestor who would never get angry, was gone.
Instead, there was a middle-aged man with a strong body, strong muscles, and a resolute face. His aura was frighteningly fierce, and there was an unshakable feeling in his bones that was as strong as a mountain.
This, this is - rejuvenation!
Without thinking, the two of them fell to their knees, exclaimed, and kept kowtowing:
"My ancestors, my ancestors have become immortals! Congratulations to my ancestors, congratulations to my ancestors!"
After kowtowing, one of them immediately stood up, ran to another room, took out another undershirt and a red python robe, and put it on for Lu Fang.
However, Lu Fang refused the service of the two. Seeing that they still insisted, he simply put his robe on himself casually and said with a smile:
"Why do people who are about to die care about these false gifts?"
Only then did the two of them realize that they had "returned to youth", but there was no joy at all on Lu Fang's face. There was only a sense of relief and insight, as if she had seen through life and death and was ready to meet her fate.
Could it be that this is not "rejuvenation", but... "returning to glory"? !
Seeing the two of them standing there, Lu Fang just tightened her robes and walked out of the courtyard.
He could clearly feel the power of Qi and blood all over his body at this time, and he could even feel the fatal crisis hidden behind this "power".
This method of drinking poison to quench thirst and eating grain is exactly the secret of the "Blood Sect Shangqu" that Lu Bing once studied.
In Wudang boxing, this acupoint is called "turtle and snake plate, with the elixir pointing toward the north dipper and possessing true martial power."
Why is the state of seeing the gods called seeing the gods? It means that after cultivating an indestructible body, the warrior reaches the level of insight into the whole body. He can "see within" and understand the existence and function of every tiny acupuncture point in the body, and develop all the secrets of the human body. .
Taoist boxing compares the human body to heaven and earth, and acupuncture points are the residences of gods in heaven and earth, so this realm is called seeing gods.
The Shangqu Point is connected to the Beidou. If you can practice to this point, you can see the "God of True Martial Arts of the Beidou" sitting in it.
Being named after the God of Zhenwu shows how important this acupoint is. In fact, Shangqu point is the most important joint for the circulation of Qi and blood in the human body. With just a little stimulation, the whole body's potential can be unleashed.
In the Alchemy Classic, this is also called "The Dan circles Tai Chi and rises towards the Beidou. It can meet the God of Zhenwu and obtain the Xuantian True Water to burst into the Xuantian Lihuo."
Although Lu Fang has not yet reached the level of "seeing the gods and not being evil" and cannot look inside the Shangqu acupoint, she has mastered the method of stimulating this acupoint and stimulating the human body's potential through countless experiments.
However, before reaching the realm of seeing the gods, if you forcefully use this method to condense Qi and blood, you can release it but not collect it. Once used, the human body will be like a raft with holes in it, and the energy will drain away at an accelerated rate and cannot be recovered.
After Lu Fang stimulated the Shangqu acupoint, even if she stopped attacking others, she would die from the depletion of Qi and blood in just ten days.
Although he could feel the passage of life every minute, Lu Fang's steps seemed extremely brisk.
For this old man who has lived in the palace for a long time, always accompanied the king, and has always been cautious, this feeling is not bad.
He turned his head and looked at the vast sea, and suddenly remembered what Lu Bing once said.
"The majestic sea view always broadens the mind."
After hearing this, Lu Fang just smiled slightly and remained noncommittal.
As an old man from two dynasties, this ancestor who has always stood firm in the inner court is as tough and steady as a giant mountain.
No matter it is the sea view or any other external object, it cannot make him feel emotional, let alone shake his heart.
However, looking at this situation and the majestic sea, Lu Fang's eyes were a little complicated.
The tide ebbs and flows, just like the change of dynasties...
After living in the center for a long time, Lu Fang was able to deeply understand the dilapidation hidden behind this behemoth.
The Ming Dynasty, just like this old eunuch, only looked at the luxuriant branches and leaves, but in fact it was fundamentally decayed and gradually dying.
Especially after coming to Taizhou, once again witnessing the monstrous power of Zhu Tiandu and others, and witnessing the dire straits of the people in the southeast, this feeling that the building will collapse has become more and more intense, lingering in Lu Fang's heart like a dark cloud. , cannot be dispersed.
He was staying in Taizhou City these days, and he was constantly thinking about a question, what can I do in such a situation?
Finally, Lu Fang came up with the answer.
——Do your best, wait for destiny, and die.
I, Lu Fang, will kill all the rebellious ministers and traitors, the traitors and traitors to the party, one by one, and kill them in pairs!
At this moment, Xu Xing, who was practicing boxing skills for all the boxers in the school grounds, felt something strange in his heart.
He slowed down his movements and slowly sat back in the wheelchair.
After these four days of cultivation, Xu Xing's complexion looked much better than when he first arrived.
Although it is still a little pale, it can no longer be said to be like gold paper. At best, it can only be regarded as having not seen the light of day for a long time.
Seeing Xu Xing suddenly stop moving, Liu Yong felt something bad and asked cautiously:
"Great Sage, is your injury...?"
Hearing what Liu Yong said, the faces of the other boxers also became a little worried. At first, they were indeed afraid of Xu Xing's vicious reputation, but after four days together, this fear no longer existed.
They have realized that the young man in front of them, no matter how cruel his methods, does have the magnanimity and mind of a great master.
As long as someone comes to ask for advice on boxing skills, Xu Xing will not hesitate to give advice, and will even recommend several complementary boxing skills to the person.
Speaking of rising, Xu Xing would ignore the fact that he was in a critical period of bone regeneration and simply stand up, take off his shirt to show the changes in boxing skills to everyone, so that they could more intuitively observe every muscle and tendon in his body. specific dynamics of the network.
You must know that the martial arts industry treats the inheritance of boxing very cautiously. It not only observes the qualifications, but also tests the character. Generally, it takes at least several years for a disciple to learn real kung fu.
Many martial artists practice their skills late at night when no one is around, just to avoid being seen. Once someone peeks at them and learns from them, it often turns into a life-or-death feud.
However, Xu Xing didn't have so many uncomfortable rules and regulations in his heart. From the Chaochao Hall to the Southern Shaolin to the Taizhou Camp, as long as the boxer's character was good enough, he would teach all the boxers without reservation.
These boxers present are all veterans of the martial arts world. Of course they know the principle that "the law should not be passed down lightly" and they also understand the preciousness of this love of passing on the art.
Not to mention, Xu Xing's methods of teaching his disciples and his understanding of various boxing techniques were so powerful that these great boxers had never seen before.
Through the sensitive touch brought by the "Empty Immortal Pouch" and the spiritual state of the "Zhixu" level, Xu Xing's control of power has reached a subtle level.
As for boxing practice, when one reaches a high level, one can master all methods. As long as it is not a unique skill at the master level, all other fighting methods are similar in Xu Xing's eyes.
Because of this, Xu Xing can detect even the slightest inconsistency in the changes in the strength of these boxers and correct and adjust them in time.
In just four days, all of these 200 boxers had been instructed by Xu Xing, and many problems that they themselves were not aware of had been improved.
Some are problems with boxing techniques, some are deficient in stance, and some are even old wounds left in the body.
As a result, these boxers naturally regarded Xu Xing as a god and worshiped and admired him from the bottom of their hearts.
Faced with everyone's concerns, Xu Xing just smiled, lay on his wheelchair, looked into the distance, and said leisurely:
"For those of us who practice boxing, boxing techniques are naturally the most important thing, but the real and fundamental thing is to 'strengthen the body'.
Today, I will use myself as an example to show you the last step of 'body training'. It can also be regarded as a thought for you. Even if you won't need it for a while, it is good to pass it on. ”
After hearing this, all the boxers' eyes lit up and they all held their breaths and concentrated. Xu Xing was not in a hurry to speak, but waved his hand, called to Hu Mazi who was standing beside him, and ordered:
"Master Hu, please come and ask General Qi to bring his group of people to come and listen."
After Xu Xing entered Taizhou City, Qi Jiguang and others no longer hid, and led the newly trained sergeants from Southern Shaolin to the camp with great fanfare.
However, these people practiced the military formations newly compiled by Qi Jiguang based on Yu Dayou's eight division formations, so they did not practice with the boxers under Xu Xing. Even Qi Dazhu, Lu Zhu and others followed Qi Jiguang, not only to understand the power of the military formation, but also to help him train his soldiers.
Since he was going to talk about the body-training method that he had recently figured out, Xu Xing naturally had to call his disciples and these old friends.
Hu Mazi nodded and turned around.
Xu Xing wanted to invite more people than these. He called Liu Yong again and continued to give instructions:
"Master Liu, I would like to trouble you to go to the signing room again and invite the personal guards around Hu Butang to come and listen.
Lu Fang should have been released from quarantine. Let's ask him if he has time to have a chat. ”
Liu Yong looked surprised and looked around for a while, then put his head in front of Xu Xing and whispered:
"Great Sage, I'm afraid that old devil has no good intentions. Do you really want to call him to come?"
When the other boxers heard Liu Yong's words, although they did not speak, they nodded in agreement.
After these four days of preaching, they had long since become the disciples of this "Number Two Rebel", so naturally they looked down upon Lu Fang, a pure court eagle dog.
Moreover, these boxers have the ability to practice their boxing skills to a very advanced level, and their brains are naturally sharp. They know that if they can really kill Zhu Laolong in one fell swoop in this battle, the Great Sage will immediately fall out with the government.
Isn't it asking for trouble to invite such a potential enemy to attend a lecture?
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Xu Xing didn't care about everyone's doubts, he just waved his hand and said calmly:
"Being able to beat me to death with my boxing skills is considered his ability, so it doesn't matter, go ahead."
Facing such a confident strongman, Liu Yong had nothing to say. He just glanced at Xu Xing, clasped his fists in his hands, and turned away.
After a while, Lu Zhu and Qi Jiguang had already poured into the school grounds with a large number of sergeants. Among the crowd, there were also Qi Dazhu holding an iron rod and Xiao Yu holding a sword in his arms.
Lu Zhu looked at the situation on the school grounds. Even with his understanding of this friend, he couldn't help but feel weird, and asked in a low voice:
"You want to complete the last step of training in front of so many people?!"
Xu Xing raised his face and smiled:
"Such a rare breakthrough naturally requires more people to witness it. Even if nothing can be done and the body explodes and dies, you and Qi Yuanjing can help me pass these things on."
Qi Jiguang also quickly came to Xu Xing's side and said solemnly:
"Treading, are you sure about it?"
Xu Xing smiled and waved his hand:
"I'm just teasing Xiao Lu, I'm 80 to 90 percent sure."
When Qi Jiguang heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and looked around again, as if he was on guard against something.
Xu Xing knew that he was looking for Lu Fang, so he simply said:
"I also invited him, but I don't know whether he will come or not."
Qi Jiguang's eyes widened. Although he knew that his little brother was always unimaginable and unexpected, he still didn't expect that Xu Xing would take the initiative to invite Lu Fang.
"It's okay if he doesn't come to you. Why do you take the initiative to provoke him?"
Xu Xing didn’t think it was a big deal and wrote lightly:
"If Lu Fang really thinks this is an opportunity, then let him do it. If he dares to take action in front of so many people, even if I kill him directly, the morale of the army will not be shaken."
After saying that, Xu Xing thought for a while and sighed:
"I hope our Eunuch Lu will not be so unwise."
Qi Jiguang was shocked. After looking Xu Xing up and down, he couldn't help but ask:
"Tafa, how far has your boxing skill reached?"
Xu Xing lowered his head, looked at his hands, thought carefully for a while, then shook his head and said:
"I don't know myself, but Lu Fang is not qualified enough to test my current limits."
There was even a bit of sadness in his tone.
Qi Jiguang sighed:
"It seems that there is only one Zhu Laolong who is qualified to decide the outcome of life and death with you."
Lu Zhu noticed that Qi Jiguang actually subconsciously placed Zhu Tiandu, the Dragon Prince who had been a powerful figure in the world for decades and brought trouble to one party, in the position of challenger.
Since Zhu Tiandu returned to the world, the only grandmaster who has fought against him and survived is Qi Jiguang.
When it comes to understanding Zhu Tiandu's boxing skills, Qi Jiguang can be said to be unparalleled in the world.
But even he had a strong premonition.
——In front of this little brother of his, perhaps the Dragon King, who has traveled all over the world and has never been defeated in his life, has really met his opponent.
The only question now is whether Xu Xing can complete the last step of training before the decisive battle.
And, in the recent war, what kind of breakthrough did Zhu Tiandu achieve by completing the miracle of resurrection from the dead?
While Qi Jiguang was thinking, Xu Xing waved to Qi Dazhu again. Looking at this apprentice who had been trained to have a somewhat iron-blooded temperament under Qi Jiguang, Xu Xing said with emotion:
"Yes, when I was learning the art of war, I also didn't forget the boxing skills."
The foundation pile frame of Qi Dazhu was already made extremely strong by Xu Xing as early as Chun'an.
Therefore, after Qi Dazhu completed his bone refining in Taizhou City and became a great boxer, Xu Xing no longer guided him personally, but asked him to read the Sanfeng Blood Classic and learn the art of war from Qi Jiguang to broaden his mind and horizons.
Looking at it now, although it has only been a few months, Qi Dazhu's energy and spirit have improved a lot compared to before. After taking many tonics, he has also vaguely touched the threshold of the second body training.
Xu Xing was naturally extremely satisfied with this.
If we don't compare his own cultivation speed, Qi Dazhu's progress is already worthy of the title of genius, and he is not much worse than a master like Xiao Yu who has been trained by his master since childhood.
Qi Dazhu punched the iron rod on the ground, cupped his fists with both hands, and replied concisely and ably, in a military style.
Xu Xing nodded again, looked at Qi Jiguang, and thanked:
"Brother Yuan Jing, please take care of my disciple."
Qi Yuanjing waved his hand, indicating that it was just a trivial matter and told Xu Xing not to say more.
There were more and more boxers around, and after half an hour, almost all the accomplished boxing masters in Taizhou City were gathered here.
Among them were great boxers from all over the world, such as Yan Pingsheng, Liu Yong, and Hu Mazi, as well as many martial arts masters rooted in the southeast.
But no matter who it was, they looked at Xu Xing with the same enthusiasm and admiration.
After all, body refining is an extremely dangerous path. You have to bet your life in order to achieve the "Martial Arts Immortal Sect" achievement. With a slight flicker, your body will be disabled or destroyed.
Even a great boxer must be careful and hold his breath while practicing. Even if his disciples, relatives and children want to take a peek, it will be a dead end, and there is no reason to let outsiders watch.
What's more, what Xu Xing has to do is to make the final leap from mortal body to immortal body!
In the midst of the commotion, Qi Jiguang pushed Xu Xing's wheelchair onto the ordering platform. Behind him, Lu Zhu, who was wearing a monk's robe and had growing hair, followed.
After waiting for a while, Qi Jiguang breathed a sigh of relief and sighed:
"He probably won't come, but fortunately..."
Lu Zhu also nodded and said:
"If he really takes action, even if we react passively, swarm him and kill him in public, it won't end well."
Qi Jiguang turned around and looked at him in surprise. He did not expect that Xiao Lu, who had always been honest and taciturn, could actually say such treasonous words.
Lu Zhu looked back and blinked, not realizing what he had said.
Seeing this situation, Qi Jiguang could only hold his forehead helplessly, glanced at Xu Xing again, and sighed secretly in his heart.
Sure enough, with this kid's temper, there's no way anyone who can hang out with him isn't a rebel.
Even my old relative...
Thinking of this, Qi Jiguang shook his head and didn't want to think about it any more.
At this moment, a voice echoed throughout the audience.
"Sheng Xu, you are really brave!"
This sound kept reverberating, going deep into the skin, shaking the bone marrow, rippling the mind, and shaking the soul. It was like muffled thunder that sounded from the distant deep sky, rolling in, hitting the field, turning into scattered electric currents, making people's hair stand on end.
As soon as this voice came out, it actually drowned out the hustle and bustle on the entire campus. No, it couldn't be said to be drowning out, but it was completely "erased".
That person was so overbearing that he couldn't tolerate any noise when he was talking!
Accompanying this domineering voice was naturally a domineering man. He was wearing a vermilion python robe, a man with white hair and a muscular body, appearing next to the martial arts arena.
That face was none other than Lu Fang!
How is that possible!
The boxers present were even more shocked when they saw that face. This Eunuch Lu seemed to be twenty or thirty years younger all of a sudden. This momentum was even more intense and fierce.
Qi Jiguang and Lu Zhu had already felt the overly hot and overly powerful aura.
That aura is like a blazing fire. Although it seems brilliant and brilliant, it only lasts for a moment and cannot last long.
What on earth is this...?
Lu Fang didn't care about these looks. In his eyes and in his heart, Xu Xing was the only one who said in a deep voice:
"Since Xu Dasheng has the heart to spread the Dharma and light the lamp, maybe he will allow me to stand by and protect the Dharma for a while?"
"You!"
Lu Zhu's eyes suddenly became sharp and he stepped forward, but Xu Xing patted him on the shoulder and looked at Lu Fang, like Buddha holding flowers, smiling freely and freely.
"Eunuch Lu, I would like to express my gratitude to Xu. Please."
