Fu Shifeng

Chapter 96
When Cheng Sanwu left Tianxiang Pavilion and returned to Qingjinyuan, he happened to see Changqing sitting and talking with Daguan Daoist.

"That is to say, at that time, there happened to be a foreign world close to the mortal world, which echoed the blessed land of Tianchi. Ankati used the star marrow to attract the true spirit of that foreign land?" Chang Qing asked.

On the table in front of Daguan Daoist is a compass and yarrow and other fortune-telling objects, playing with a few copper coins in his hand, listening to him nodding and saying:

"When I was refining qi as a teacher at Songyue Mountain, I had a vague feeling. Every time I go up to the heights and wait and see, there will always be strange clouds hovering in the far northwest, hiding ominous omens."

"Fortunately, Ankuti's plot was stopped in time, otherwise I really don't know what kind of disaster it will cause." Chang Qing frowned.

"You said just now that the person who killed Anguti was the strong man Cheng Sanwu?" Daguan Daoist seemed to have sensed it, raised his eyes and said, "Is that him?"

Not long after, Cheng Sanwu came to the main hall, saw the Taoist priest in navy blue robes opposite Changqing, immediately clasped his hands together, and said in a hearty tone, "This must be Daguan Daoist? I've been looking forward to it for a long time!"

Daguan Daoist stood up and returned the gift: "Tiger walks like a dragon, majestic and majestic, Cheng Zhuang is very human. The bad guys have been taught in the past, and the poor Taoist thank you in advance."

Originally, Cheng Sanwu thought that with Changqing's past habit of quoting scriptures and speaking, his master must also be an old pedant with a weird temper, but he didn't expect that he was quite easy to talk to.

"Where is it!" Cheng Sanwuyi waved his hand: "Walking in the rivers and lakes is to help each other. From the Western Regions to Chang'an, Changqing has helped a lot along the way."

Daguan Daoist invited Cheng Sanwu to sit down, and said: "Just now, our master and apprentice talked about the Western Regions, and I heard that An Quti was killed by Cheng Zhuang?"

"I killed it." Cheng Sanwu tightened his wristbands: "The guy didn't beat him, but I stuck close to him and killed him with three punches."

"Three punches?" Daguan Daoist didn't seem to believe it, and then asked, "Did Angutti use any magical means at that time?"

"Yes." Cheng Sanwu looked at Changqing: "Do you still remember that there were a bunch of mirrors hanging in the cave of Anguti? He just used the mirrors to emit fire light. The dominatrix was seriously injured by him, even her clothes were burned Light up, hey!"

Changqing saw Cheng Sanwu's strange smile, and looked at him with a shaved mustache, compared to the rough appearance in the past, he now looks more heroic, and he thought he had once been in love with a dominatrix.

"Mirror?" Daguan Daoist was slightly puzzled.

Changqing explained: "The things have been confiscated by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I only had time to take a quick look at them. The one used by Angutti is not like the Taoist magic mirror, which is made of copper and iron and ground with medicine, and there is no one on the back to seduce the spirits of all parties. Pictorial seal."

Master Daguan was deep in thought, and Cheng Sanwu asked, "What does this mirror look like? Is there anything special about it?"

Changqing said: "Sorcerers like us, mirrors are not only used to describe clothes and hats. In the Taoist sect, there is a practice method of using mirrors to contemplate introspection and fractal changes. You can also practice mirrors through sacrifices. Hook Liuding Liujia, hang the cave, use it to guard the cave door, and expand the enchantment. As for breaking the transformation method of ghosts and spirits to eliminate evil, that is naturally not a problem."

Cheng Sanwu touched his chin habitually, but since he lost his beard, he felt that his grasp was empty.

"The rationale for foreign spells is completely different from that of the Central Plains Taoism." Daguan Daoist said: "Changqing, you also said that An Quti summoned groups of skeleton soldiers and horses when he was in danger, which shows that he has a lot of knowledge in manipulating the undead." From this, it can be generally seen that Angry Ti should have inherited and accumulated, and it is not just a self-taught talent."

Cheng Sanwu was a little surprised: "Is An Quti so powerful? He won't be haunted, and he will come back someday to take revenge on me?"

Daguan Daoist explained: "Scholar Cheng Zhuang can rest assured that although a master who is proficient in spells is often strong in spirit and soul, once the vitality of the body is lost, the same will be lost and there will be nowhere to rest."

Changqing also said: "An Quti wanted to make trouble, so he fought you desperately on the spot. How can it be delayed until now? Although I am more worried that his spirit will be detained in Tianchi Shrine, turning into an evil spirit. After all, that Not an ordinary place."

"Can it still be like this?" Cheng Sanwu showed an unbelievable expression.

"I just found out." Changqing paused, and looked at Daguan Daoist: "Master, can I say this to him?"

"But it doesn't matter, it's not a big secret." Daguan Daoist said flatly: "I'm sure that there are still experts in the world who can sense the closeness of the two worlds."

Changqing nodded, and then said to Cheng Sanwu: "When you fought with An Qu, did you notice his intention to entangle and refuse to leave?"

"When you said that, I really remembered." Cheng Sanwu clapped his fists and suddenly realized: "That's right! That guy can fly into the sky and escape from the ground, why stay there? With his ability, with That Laoshizi Xingmai, just run away. Anyway, those Zoroastrians are also the unlucky ones he tricked, and it doesn’t feel bad if they are all dead.”

"We guessed that Ankuti could not leave easily at that time." Changqing said: "He won the star marrow, but it was only the first step. At that time, there was a foreign world close to the Western Region, and the location of Tianchi echoed that foreign world ..."

In the middle of Changqing's speech, he saw Cheng Sanwu showing a puzzled expression, Daguan Daoist answered: "Cheng Zhuangshi, let's think about it this way—the world we live in is like a big ship. Floating on the vast ocean. Occasionally, I met another big ship in the distance, drifting towards each other with the current. Someone wanted to steal property from another ship, so he prepared wooden bridge treads to facilitate communication. This is what Ankhati did.”

"Can it still be like this?!" Although Cheng Sanwu understood, he was very shocked and said after a while, "But what if the two ships collide?"

Daguan Daoist laughed and said, "Then the sky is falling apart."

"Ah?" Cheng Sanwu exclaimed, looking at the master and apprentice in front of him, he said in shock, "I don't think you are afraid of such a big thing?"

Master Daguan kept his beard silent, while Chang Qing said flatly: "How could such a thing happen so easily? Let me ask you, have you ever seen ghosts and ghosts wandering around in the daytime?"

"No." Cheng Sanwu shook his head: "Didn't ghosts be afraid of the sun?"

"That's it." Changqing said with his hands behind his back: "Yin and Yang are still separated, and the two heavens, earth, and universe with different laws, metaphysics, and weather are so difficult to connect with each other? Even if the two realms are similar, it is the same as what we ordinary people see. The distance is also quite different.

"It's just that the two worlds are close, and there will be disturbances to each other. Ankuti should have sensed this disturbance early on, and discovered that the blessed land of Tianchi is the place where the two worlds are connected, so he built a shrine and arranged an enchantment there. "

"But I heard that Anguti had been preparing for years before making trouble." Cheng Sanwu was still puzzled.

"The two worlds are close to each other, which will last for many years, not overnight." Changqing thought and said: "We guess, with Ankyatti's ability, it may be able to measure the sympathetic echo between the two worlds, and the aura is stronger. This is the reason why he has been reluctant to leave Tianchi Shrine for so long. And the star marrow is used as a guide to connect with the outer air mechanism."

"Then what is he doing this for?" Cheng Sanwu questioned: "He lost his life in the end, and all the hard work in the future will be in vain."

"It's hard to say, it's possible to increase mana and rejuvenate." Changqing said: "I think Ankati's description of being old, and the lack of preservation is also to use the star marrow to seek immortality."

"Can it still be like this?" Cheng Sanwu was very surprised.

Changqing pondered and said: "The star marrow has the ability to connect the heavens. This alone can be said to be infinitely useful. It is not unusual for Antati to use this to find another way to survive."

Daguan Daoist made a point aside: "Angty was able to think of this. It seems that he is very clear about the purpose of the star marrow. This should be the legacy of the predecessors. It should be noted that no one dares to call himself such a god without long-term exploration. Skillfully used."

Changqing nodded repeatedly. Although the master had never been to the Western Regions in person, he was able to provide many important clues that he had never thought of based on his own recounting. It can be seen that there is still a huge gap between the experience and knowledge of the master and the apprentice.

"I can't even believe what you said." Cheng Sanwu supported his dizzy head.

Changqing said: "I didn't believe it at first, so I planned to go to Xuandu Temple and look up the "Three Caves Qiong Gang"."

"What book is that?" Cheng Sanwu asked.

"It's not a book, but a collection of Taoist scriptures." Changqing expressed admiration: "This dynasty followed the old practice, collected Taoist scriptures from all over the world, compiled them, and called them "Three Caves and Qiong Gang". In the ninth year of the Yuan Dynasty, Shang Bai Yunzi, the master of the Qing Dynasty, sent more than [-] volumes of Daoist scriptures from Tongbai Palace in Tiantai Mountain to Chang'an for revision and compilation. Therefore, he was appreciated by the current emperor and asked to grant him the Dharma.

"In the early years, Grandmaster Baiyunzi traveled all over the north and south of the Central Plains, surveyed the heavens and blessed places, and finally compiled the "Tiangong Difu Map". It is said that it also depicts the scenes of the outer heavens. This is the purpose of our visit."

Xuanduguan has collected countless Taoist scriptures. In order to show the righteousness of Taoism, Taoists from all over the world were allowed to come and read and transcribe.

Cheng Sanwu nodded again and again, but he was savvy: "Then you follow Daguan Daoist, and I won't get involved."

The two master and apprentice were about to leave, Changqing saw his chin slick, couldn't help laughing and said: "What's going on with you?"

"It was shaved by the hag, she insisted that she looks so good-looking." Cheng Sanwu felt uncomfortable.

Changqing teased and said: "Now you have really become the dominatrix's male favourite."

Cheng Sanwu shivered, and quickly waved his hands: "Go, go! This is really unlucky, can't you just hope for me?"

……

After the winter solstice, there was a heated debate in the Chang'an court about the implementation of the New Deal in various ways.

Lu Xiang proposed to set up Kuodi envoys and envoys to encourage farmers to be sent to various provinces to check local Kuo households, so that fugitives can be attached to their household registrations, and new attached households should be exempted from taxation for six years.

This incident immediately caused a shock in the court. Many courtiers wrote letters to persuade them. ?”

Although the debate is fierce, judging from the direction of the court, the trend of the implementation of the New Deal in various fields should be doomed.Chang'an Sihao smelled it, and sent people one after another to bring gifts to Qingjinyuan, saying that they wanted to invite Mr. Changqing to be a guest.

It is rare for Changqing to get along with Daguan real people, and he does not want to have too much contact with these wealthy merchants. He said to the outside world that the Taoism is coming soon, and he has no time for mundane affairs, so he wants to stay in Xuanduguan to study Taoism.

On the contrary, it was Su Wangting who also became famous among the wealthy merchants in Chang'an because of his handling of the Dou Baohui. Many people found out that he was Lu Xiang's disciple.Considering the relationship between Changqing and Lu Xiang, people can't help but make various guesses.

Therefore, during this period of time, there were also an endless stream of guests who went to the Kungang Courtyard to visit Su Wangting, and even high-ranking officials in the court sent out small officials to test their words.

And Su Wangting used his long-sleeved and good dancing skills to travel among all parties, and at the same time obtained a lot of news for Lu Xiang.

As for Cheng Sanwu, he was too lazy to care about the twists and turns in the court, so he ran to Tianxiang Pavilion when he was free, and practiced internal and external martial arts under Afu's guidance.

The two practiced "Liuhe Yuanzhang" together, needless to say, besides this, Cheng Sanwu also started to practice Yanfeng Saber Technique.

This sword technique emphasizes that the moves are as fast as fire, and the body is as light as the wind.Yanfeng Kung Fu goes all over the body along the meridians, it will greatly activate the muscles and bones, and the trunk and limbs will become more sensitive. It seems to have taken some tonic medicine, which makes people especially excited. It not only increases physical strength, but also responds to the enemy. It will also be more precise.

Although there are secrets of promoting qi and energy in "Yanfeng Daopu", according to Afu, the formulas of the mental method are too rough, completely disregarding whether the practitioner's meridians and muscles can bear it.If one does not have deep internal strength as a foundation and practice Yanfeng Saber Technique alone, it will definitely cause self-injury of strength over time.

But Cheng Sanwu doesn't have such troubles now, the Shaoyang internal energy he obtained from practicing "Liuhe Yuanzhang" can also activate the Yanfeng Saber Technique.If the yang qi is too strong due to internal strength training, part of it can be dissipated through the Yanfeng knife method, so that the yin and yang in the body will not be disordered.

What's more, Cheng Sanwu has two veins in his body, and his tolerance limit for the disorder of yin and yang qi mechanism far exceeds other warriors.

When the new year is approaching, Cheng Sanwu no longer needs Afu's guidance, and his inner breath can flow freely, so he can practice "Liuhe Yuanzhang" alone, and the Yanfeng Dao technique has also made great progress.

In a snow-covered courtyard, two figures could be seen staggering back and forth, and the sound of gold and iron clashing could be heard endlessly. It was Cheng Sanwu and Qin Wangshu who were competing with sword skills.

One is the scorching wind of the sword, and the hot air hits the face, and the snow melts and the ice disappears when the foot walks;

The two completely different skills and the number of moves are very different. Every time they collide with each other, they will stir up waves of smoke and air, and the dense and chaotic knife light will make the onlookers dizzy.

Seeing Qin Wang stretching out his saber and stabbing straight at the door, Cheng Sanwu was full of strength, the scorching wind was blowing on the saber, and the red light could be seen vaguely.

Qin Wangshu suddenly felt the heat wave in front of him like a furnace, knowing that he was invincible, he blocked the horizontal knife, flew backwards, and the snow on the ground swept away like waves.

"call--"

Cheng Sanwu exhaled turbid air, which turned into a big cloud of white steam in the winter, as if swallowing clouds: "How is it? My saber technique is not bad, is it?"
