I add points in the city

Chapter 67 Baopuzi, Book of Lu Zu (4000 words, please subscribe)

"Old Fang, let me read the book." Xia Ming smiled.

"Sure enough, let me introduce to you, these two old men are also members of our Lin'an Martial Arts Association." Fang Daosheng looked at the two people beside him.

"This is Lao Chen, the descendant of Chen-style Taijiquan, and his strength is not bad."

Xia Ming looked at the other person. He was not tall, less than 1.7 meters tall. Although he was over sixty years old, his body was very healthy and his eyes were piercing. However, he felt that his strength was not as good as Fang Daosheng's.

These martial arts masters did not impress him, and they were far from extraordinary, and they were better than ordinary people.

Just like Fang Daosheng, Xia Ming fought against him, in terms of actual combat lethality, he should not be as good as boxing champion Tyson.

"Hello, Mr. Chen!"

Old Chen looked at Xia Ming seriously, thinking that he was here to study, and pointed out with a smile:

"Young man, it looks like he is a good model for practicing martial arts. I will learn more from Lao Fang in the future. He has real kung fu."

After Fang Daosheng heard this, his face twitched slightly, but he didn't say much.

Xia Ming's strength, only he and Jiang Qi know, according to Xia Ming's wishes, he will naturally keep it strictly confidential.

"This is Lao Zhou, who practices Bajiquan. He is mighty and strong, and his strength is not weaker than mine."

Xia Ming took a closer look. He was a tall old man with various scars on his body. He had a murderous look on his body, and his eyes were particularly cold and serious. He looked a bit like a killing god who had stepped out of a battlefield.

However, the strength of the other party was estimated to be below Fang Daosheng's level, but it felt a little scary to him.

"He has killed more than one person before!" Xia Ming's eyes froze.

"I've seen Senior Zhou!"

Lao Zhou just nodded indifferently, and continued to practice Bajiquan. The vertical and horizontal movements of his body seemed to open and close, majestic and majestic.

Wen has Taiji to secure the world, and Wu has Baji to control the universe.

That is to say, Bajiquan is famous for killing and attacking. It has powerful combat power and is mostly practiced by soldiers. It kills enemies and defends the country.

"Xia Ming, you can go directly to the study to have a look, we three old men, let's stretch our muscles." Fang Daosheng said with a smile.

"Okay, Mr. Fang, Mr. Chen, Mr. Zhou, then I'll go first."

After Xia Ming said hello, he went straight to Zangshu Pavilion, flipping through classics.

"Xingyi Breathing Method, Yijin Ximai Jing, I have comprehended the true meaning. Others such as Bajiquan, Changsheng Baduanjin, Taijiquan, etc. can be learned. For me, I can learn it soon. "

These kinds of classics are available in the Martial Arts Association.

In today's era of hot weapons, the power of science and technology far exceeds everything else, while the power of individuals becomes fragile.

In the Great Xia, the inheritance of the major schools of martial arts, and the inheritance classics of their own schools, have long since ceased to be treasured.

Besides, in the world of Chinese martial arts, there is still a saying that "a word of truth can be taught for ten years of hard work".

With only cheat books, if there is no guidance, it is impossible to cultivate strength.

But for Xia Ming, there was no difficulty.

After a while, Xia Ming had learned all about Taijiquan, Bajiquan, Baduanjin, etc., and included them in the data panel. As long as there is enough bioenergy, they can be improved.

After learning the traditional martial arts, Xia Ming focused his attention on the Taoist classics.

Previously, he also tried to learn and comprehend Taoist classics, but he found it extremely difficult, and he couldn't understand or learn them at all.

Today, he is no longer what he used to be, and if he reads the Taoist classics again, he should gain something.

"The Taoist school has a long history. Whether it is Shaolin, Buddhism, Xingyi, Baji, Taiji, etc., they all originated from Taoism in essence.

Taoism is the root of all martial arts schools in the Great Xia Kingdom. "

Xia Ming found a treatise on the origin of Taoism from the bookshelf, and carefully checked the ins and outs of Taoism, as well as famous figures in history, so that he could better search for various classics.

"Taoism has a long history and has been handed down since the pre-Qin period. The earliest Taoist classic should be the "Huangdi Neijing", but in my opinion, it is more like a medical book, with very little content about cultivation."

Xia Ming roughly read the thread-bound "Huangdi Neijing", which is somewhat similar to "Shan Hai Jing". Although it is very old, it has been passed down for thousands of years and has long lost the content of cultivation. Can.

"Next, it should be "Book of Changes" and other classics, Taoist divination and the like, which are too obscure and mysterious to understand. It is very difficult to study them thoroughly in a short time."

The Martial Arts Association has a huge collection of books, no matter whether they are true or not, they all look decent.

For a long time, these books, in addition to Xingyiquan, Taijiquan, Bajiquan, Baduanjin, etc., can also cultivate some skills, which are different from ordinary people.

According to Fang Daosheng, these Taoist classics cannot be cultivated at all, they are only used for self-cultivation and moral cultivation.

Xia Ming would not have come to study Taoist classics if he hadn't had a data panel.

"Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching" should be a symbol of the formation of Taoism. After reading it through, I feel that "Tao Te Ching" seems to contain special principles, which are beyond my comprehension now.

Moreover, I always feel that the contents of "Tao Te Ching" are somewhat familiar, as if I have heard them in the dream world. "

Xia Ming's eyes were bright and bright, he read the "Tao Te Ching", and then solemnly put it down, engraving all the content recorded in the book in his heart.

With an intelligence attribute as high as 160, he can see ten lines at a glance and never forget. Compared with those outstanding geniuses in history, his learning ability is much higher.

"In addition to the "Tao Te Ching", it should be the second person in Taoism "Zhuangzi". Zhuangzi's "Xiaoyaoyou" and "Health Master" seem to be the method of cultivation, but I feel that there is something missing. core content.

Perhaps, this is the fundamental reason why the inheritance of Qi practitioners in the pre-Qin period has not been handed down. "

Xia Ming is also extremely yearning for the Pre-Qin Qi Practitioners and the corresponding Pre-Qin breathing method.

"On the land of Daxia, perhaps only in major museums or some ancient tombs can we find traces of the breathing method of the pre-Qin period."

Xia Ming continued to flip through the books.

In the Qin and Han Dynasties, Taoism only rose in the early Western Han Dynasty, and then quickly declined and was replaced by Confucianism.

"Below, the famous figures of Taoism include Ge Hong, Li Chunfeng, Lu Dongbin, Zhang Sanfeng, etc. The content of Ge Hong's "Baopuzi" is Jindan Dao, and Lu Dongbin's "Lu Zu Shu" records the Taoist spirit. Law……"

Xia Ming found the works of Ge Hong and Lu Dongbin and studied them carefully.

Compared with Lao Zhuang's works, the classics of these two representatives of Taoism undoubtedly contain more and clearer records, and they also have some methods of cultivation.

Xia Ming looked at it for a long time, and his mind was completely immersed in it, absorbing the cultivation essence of Daxia Taoism.

I don't know how long it has passed, the sun is already rising, Xia Ming finally finished reading "Baopuzi" and "Book of Lu Zu", and he also understood something in his heart.

"For me, Ge Hong's Golden Core Dao is very useful for reference. However, Lu Dongbin's breathing method may be more useful. If I can add a little introduction, it can also verify some guesses in my mind."

Xia Ming has a question, whether the Earth is in the Dharma-ending Era, or something else.

"When I cook, is the mysterious factor incorporated into the dishes the legendary aura of heaven and earth?"

What is the essence of the mysterious factor, Xia Ming can't tell, it is a special substance, it seems to be everywhere, no matter where Xia Ming cooks, it has the same effect.

He also discovered that with the improvement of his culinary skills, the total amount of mysterious factors fused will also increase.

At the entry level of cooking skills, if the total amount of integration is 1, the total amount of mysterious factors integrated will be directly doubled to 100 at the proficient level of cooking skills.

At the same time, the total amount of mysterious factors incorporated is also related to the characteristics of some ingredients.

Just like frying a dish of hot and sour potato shreds, and frying a dish of Kung Pao Chicken, the total amount of mysterious factors incorporated is different, and it does not necessarily mean that the former has less and the latter has more.

"Golden Core Dao, Breathing Qi Method, I have already learned these two Taoist classics. After a little practice, they can be included in the data panel and can be improved."

From Xia Ming's point of view, these two cultivation methods are not necessarily more profound than the Xingyi Breathing Method and the Yijin-Washing-Marrow Sutra.

On the contrary, it is somewhat simple, but the threshold for comprehension is extremely high.

From ancient times to the present, all levels of knowledge have been gradual.

It can be said that "the present must overcome the ancients", even for various cultivation methods. With the support of various high-tech equipment, the popularity of the Internet, and the development of transportation, true martial arts enthusiasts can do better. Learn to exchange national skills.

Therefore, in terms of strength, it may not necessarily be much worse than the ancients.

But there is also a problem. Cultivation, whether it is national art or Taoism, requires a lot of resources, whether it is rare treasures of heaven and earth, or flowers and plants.

However, many species and herbs can no longer be found in today's era, which may also be a factor affecting the improvement of strength.

"Today's harvest is not shallow. As long as you have accumulated enough bio-energy, you can try it out. Let's see how amazing the legendary Golden Core Dao and Qi Qi Method are."

For the Taoist classics, Xia Ming still had great expectations in his heart.

"Mr. Fang, I'll take these books home and study them."

Xia Ming found Fang Daosheng, and showed him "Baopuzi", "Lu Zushu", "Xiaoyaoyou" and so on.

Fang Daosheng was drinking tea with Mr. Zhou and Mr. Chen, when he saw Xia Ming coming out, he smiled and said:

"Xia Ming, if you want to read it, you can take it as you like, and remember to return it. These classics are all exchanged from various places in Daxia, and they are considered to be of some collection value."

Elder Chen glanced at the classics in Xia Ming's hands, shook his head slightly, and reminded, being a young man with high ambitions:
"Taoist classics are obscure and profound. You should learn Xingyiquan from Lao Fang. Xingyiquan is also born out of Taoist classics, and it is the authentic Taoism."

"Thank you, Mr. Chen, for your reminder. This junior is just learning from it." Xia Ming responded with a smile, and the other party also had good intentions.

As for Mr. Zhou, he still looked aloof and cold.

After leaving the Martial Arts Association, Xia Ming went to Jiangnan Garden. Zhou Qin had already arranged for the delivery of the ingredients he needed.

Today, this private garden no longer has the tension and solemnity of yesterday.

In the kitchen, Xia Ming looked at the various ingredients, and outlined the appearance of the "Five Qi Chaoyuan" health soup in his mind.

"You can try it. If it succeeds, my cultivation speed will be greatly improved. The various exercises I have learned can all be evolved."

"Five Qi Chaoyuan" health-preserving soup is based on the combination of yin and yang and five elements to stimulate the five-element characteristics of the ingredients, hoping to absorb and incorporate more mysterious factors to enhance the effect.

Different from the "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea" health-preserving soup, the "Five Qi Chaoyuan" health-preserving soup is mostly plant species, such as "saffron" which represents the attribute of fire, "star purple" which represents the attribute of water, and "Changbai" which represents the attribute of wood. ginseng"...

As Xia Ming began to cook the "Five Qi Chaoyuan" health-preserving soup with his own cooking skills, he felt the mysterious factor that was many times stronger than the "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea" health-preserving soup. The health-preserving soup has transformed from ordinary to magical.

A moment later, Xia Ming made a brand new jar of health-preserving soup.

Above the health-preserving soup, there are five kinds of mysterious mist, green, white, black, gold, and yellow, flowing, intertwined and entangled, changing into various shapes, as if lifelike, as if containing life.

The five-element mist that represents the essence, the five elements circulate, endlessly, releasing a special charm.

Gently inhaling it into the mouth, it instantly turned into a stream of air, pouring into all parts of the body, nourishing the body and strengthening the energy and blood.

Xia Ming's eyes lit up, and his body felt very good. Just taking a breath of the "Qi of the Five Elements", his body's vitality was significantly improved, and the effect was comparable to the effect of one tenth of the "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea" health-preserving soup.

You know, this is just a breath of "five elements"!

"The effect is great, ten times better than the "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea" health-preserving soup. It is indeed a great medicine for the human body treasured by the Martial Arts Association. After my optimization and screening, it is fused into one. It is made with magical cooking skills, and it has already transcended the world. The restriction of Xianyao possesses extremely magical abilities."

"No matter what, this "Five Qi and Chaoyuan" health-preserving soup must not be leaked until I have no absolute ability to protect myself. Even my family and Zhou Qin can't let them know for the time being. Otherwise, I'm afraid it's true. I will be sliced, and no one can protect me."

Xia Ming is well aware of the truth that "everyone is innocent, but pregnant is guilty".

If we talk about the magic of the "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea" health soup, it can still be accepted by people.

Then the "Five Qi Chaoyuan" health-preserving soup has completely surpassed the "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea" health-preserving soup, and can be called a real fairy food.

If exposed, the consequences can be imagined.

Xia Ming is like a gluttonous beast, his mouth is close to the "Qi of the Five Elements", and he inhales lightly. These special air currents containing rich mysterious factors are sucked into his body by him.

Not only does it contain a lot of mysterious factors, but this "five-element air" is more like the "meal air" overflowing from fairy dishes, which is intoxicating.
