save the bachelors

Chapter 4367 4369 [Mission Ended]

Xiang Nan then felt some martial arts knowledge pouring into his mind, including "The Secret of Immortality", "The Art of Bird Crossing", "The Art of Sword Playing", "The Moon in the Well", "Ten Styles of Bloody Battle", "Eight Styles of Heavenly Sword", and so on.

These are what Kou Zhong learned or realized in the play, but Xiang Nan did not receive his true energy, the essence of the evil emperor's relics, and the energy of the He Shi Bi.

This made Xiang Nan stunned, and then he remembered that at the end of the play, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling participated in the Xuanwu Gate Incident together and died together at the hands of Li Shimin.

But at the moment of death, Kou Zhong passed all the power of "The Secret of Immortality", the essence of the Evil Emperor's relics and the energy of the He Shi Bi to Xu Ziling, allowing him to survive, while he sacrificed himself alone.

Because of this, Xiang Nan only got his martial arts knowledge and martial arts talent, and nothing else. Fortunately, he brought back the evil emperor's relic and the Heshi jade, otherwise, it would have been a wasted trip.

But then again, Kou Zhong still has a very high talent for martial arts.

He quickly learned the Secret of Immortality, Bird Crossing, Swordplay, Ten Bloody Battles, Eight Heavenly Swords, etc. He even figured out the Moon in the Well, which even the world's best fighter Lu Miaozi couldn't figure out.

This shows that he has a high talent for martial arts, so Xiang Nan was very happy to receive this reward from him.

Not to mention that he also brought back the Evil Emperor's relics, the He's Jade Jade, the Golden Silk Armor, and a number of cultural relics and antiques this time.

He had already injected all his life's skills into the evil emperor's relic. It really had thousands of years of skills, the real thing, not the kind that was injected with water.

The Heshi Bi can purify evil and guide people to be good, which is also a treasure. The golden armor is not only impervious to water and fire, but also contains the secret book of "Eternal Life Secret", which is also a treasure.

In addition, Xiang Nan also collected a large number of cultural relics.

For example, the calligraphy of Wang Xizhi and his son Wang Xianzhi, among which is the famous "Lanting Preface". This painting was originally hidden in the hands of Monk Zhiyong, a descendant of Wang Xizhi.

Li Shimin was very fond of the calligraphy of the Two Wangs, so he collected them all over the world. As a result, he really found many authentic works of the Two Wangs, including this "Preface to the Lanting Collection".

He had left a will, asking his son Li Zhi to bury the Lanting Preface and other masterpieces with him after his death. But Xiang Nan naturally did not want this masterpiece to be buried deep underground, so he used the trick of "substituting a cat for a prince" to exchange all these calligraphy works.

Apart from the Two Wangs, very few of the masterpieces of famous artists like Chu Suiliang, Yu Shinan, Ouyang Xun, Gu Kaizhi, Yan Liben, Zhang Sengyou... have been passed down to later generations, and it can even be said that only one in ten thousand has survived.

Therefore, the works that Xiang Nan brought back are definitely rare treasures that cannot be bought even with money.

It's a pity that when he came back, Li Bai, Du Fu and others were not yet famous, so he didn't bring back their poetry collections. However, Wang Bo, one of the Four Great Poets of the Early Tang Dynasty, did not drown, but left behind many poems.

……

After returning from the world of "The Twin Heroes of the Tang Dynasty", Xiang Nan rested for a while. He went to Hawaii and indulged himself in the blue sea and sky.

On the one hand, he adapted to modern life again; on the other hand, he practiced sword skills diligently over the years, torturing himself almost every day, using physical pain to sharpen his will and temper his spirit.

He endured hardships like this for more than seventy years, until he finally took a break after he obtained the Heavenly Demon Strategy, Yoga Technique, Yellow Heaven Dharma, Ten Dwelling Mahayana Merits, Tibetan Secret Wisdom Book, and the Sutra of Wisdom on the Root of All Dharmas and other methods of tempering the spirit.

The so-called "Tibetan Secret Book of Wisdom" is a skill passed down by the Qinghai-Tibet Tantric Buddhism, which is specifically used to cultivate spiritual power. Legend has it that if you practice it to a very high level, you can turn the virtual into the real and transform spiritual energy into matter.

However, Xiang Nan knew that the truth was not so.

The Tibetan Book of Intelligence can indeed be used to cultivate spiritual power, but it is still beyond its ability to turn the virtual into the real and transform spiritual energy into matter.

It can only influence the opponent's mind through its powerful spirit, creating a highly realistic, even lifelike illusion for the opponent.

Just like the VR technology used by Mysterio in "Spider-Man 3: No Return", it looks so real that it shocked people all over the world.

But in fact, if you look into the root of it, you will know that it is fake. It's just that not everyone can distinguish the real from the fake like Spider-Man, so almost the whole world has been fooled by Mysterio.

The spiritual power of the person who has mastered the "Tibetan Secret Book of Intelligence" is also extremely strong. Unless your spiritual power is stronger than him, it is easy to be deceived or even controlled by him.

Xiang Nan was able to obtain the "Tibetan Secret Book of Wisdom" because a group of Tibetan lamas came to steal his "Secret of Immortality", hoping that they could also break the Vajra and ascend to enlightenment.

As a result, not only did he fail to get the "Eternal Life Secret", his skills were lost to Xiang Nan for nothing, and he even lost his own sect's secret book.

There are methods of spiritual cultivation in "The Strategy of Heavenly Demons", "The Art of Yoga", "The Great Dharma of Yellow Heaven", "The Ten Stages of Mahayana Practice", "The Book of Tibetan Tantric Intelligence" and "The Sutra of Wisdom on the Root of All Things".

Moreover, the practice process is not as painful and torturous as the Nirvana Sutra of the Pure Land Zen Buddhism.

"The Strategy of Heavenly Demons", "The Art of Yoga", "The Ten Stages of Mahayana Practice", "The Book of Wisdom of Tibetan Buddhism" and "The Sutra of Wisdom of the Root of All Things" even require practitioners to indulge in lust, revel in sensual pleasures, burn, kill, and plunder without any scruples. Only in this way can they realize their thoughts and reach the state of bliss.

Therefore, there is the Great Dharma of the Beautiful Girl in "The Strategy of Heavenly Demons", the Dual Cultivation Technique in "The Yoga Technique", the Collecting and Replenishing Technique in "The Ten Stages of Mahayana Practice", the Great Dharma of Joy in "The Book of Tibetan Tantric Intelligence", and the Gospel of Life in "The Sutra of Wisdom that Controls the Root of All Things".

However, this indulgence is not without price. The reason why they advocate indulgence in desires is to suppress desires while indulging them, and to realize great illusion and great liberation in great joy.

Just like the loneliness after the feast, the beautiful woman turns into a skeleton, and the sage time that follows.

The joyful Zen in Tantric Buddhism is exactly this principle. If you practice joyful Zen for a long time, you will get used to it, and you will find it less surprising and less surprising. Then your lustful thoughts will naturally disappear.

However, once the desire for sex becomes too strong and cannot be suppressed, one will go astray and fall into the devil's way. Therefore, Xiang Nan was very cautious about this and did not dare to overindulge his desire for sex.

After arriving in Hawaii, I just played surfing, sailing, and diving, and then relied on my charm to pick up a few girls.

He did not attend those organized but completely chaotic parties, fearing that if he indulged too much, it would easily backfire.

After all, "controlling desire with desire" is like walking on a tightrope at high altitude. If you make a mistake, you will die, which may be even more terrifying than death.
