The master who came out of the real world

Chapter 104 Hermitage
Skill: Eight Diamond Skills Level 2 (14% rough skin)

Chen Xiong glanced at the personal panel, the eight-part Vajra Kung Fu just now has 10 times the effect, which can be equivalent to a day's work.

Does this Taihe Mountain really have aura?

If the Eight Parts King Kong function maintains this progress, I'm afraid it won't be a few days before it can be upgraded to a higher level.

The isolated evidence was not established, Chen Xiong thought for a while and put aside the messy thoughts in his heart, and practiced the eight parts of Vajra Kung Fu seriously again, but he didn't gain anything new.

[Eight Vajra Skill Experience +1]

"Is this by accident, or did I miss something?"

Chen Xiong didn't stop, and continued to practice the Babu Vajra Kungfu. Surprisingly, on the Bagua stone platform in front of the Prince's Cave, there was a tourist slowly practicing the health-preserving Kungfu.

"Huh~ I should have overlooked something."

Chen Xiong slowly collected the exercises, the following exercises had no effect, and the Taoist health-preserving exercises could not be forced.

"Taihe Mountain, Taizi Rock, sunrise, and enlightenment may all have an impact on the eight Vajra Skills, but I don't know which ones are more important."

Chen Xiong felt a little pity, but these guesses could only be verified later.

"The layman's eight-part Vajra Kungfu is really good, and it already has a somewhat natural taste of Taoism, but it's a pity that I was a little anxious after several times."

Suddenly a word of praise interrupted Chen Xiong's analysis, Chen Xiong turned his head slightly, the old Taoist just now stood at the entrance of the Prince's Cave, and his expression was a little more enthusiastic than before.

"Do you want to sit in the cave?"

Chen Xiong naturally would not refuse: "Then disturb the Taoist priest."

Prince Cave is not as mysterious as expected, it is just an ordinary natural cave, the space is not very big, inside it enshrines a statue of a young man, there is not much incense, and there is a bed in the small space on the left side of the statue, it should be an old way to rest The place.

There is a lamp in the house, which should be solar energy. In the corner is an earthen stove, a small stove for daily use, and some coal pellets and firewood are piled up.

The old Taoist took out a cup, scooped a cup of raw water directly from the water tank and handed it to Chen Xiong. He also took out a small cloth bag from somewhere, poured a few dried dates from it and placed it on the table.

"This is the mountain spring water in Huanglong Cave. You can drink it directly. Laymen, please rest assured."

The old man explained a few words with a smile, Chen Xiong politely took the water glass, but there was no entrance, and he held it in his hand.

"Even on Mount Taihe, it is rare to see such natural Taoist health-preserving skills."

The old Taoist stroked his white beard and asked curiously: "The layman didn't go to the Golden Summit, how did he come to such a remote place?"

"At the foot of the mountain, I accidentally got the eight-part Vajra Kung Fu commented by the Daoist of the Longmen School. I have practiced something, but I still don't understand it very well, so I want to come to Taihe Mountain to ask for advice."

Chen Xiong was also very direct, and asked with a smile: "I don't know if the chief knows a Taoist Zhang Qijiu of the Longmen sect?"

"Zhang Qijiu? But I have never heard of it. The old Taoist has practiced alone in the cave for more than 20 years. He doesn't know much about the outside world, but he can't help the lay people."

The old man pondered for a while, then shook his head.

"Then I wonder if I can ask the Taoist master about Taijiquan?" Chen Xiong asked politely.

"Tai Chi? The old way can't."

The old Taoist laughed: "The old Taoist only knows Baduanjin, and he also learned Taihequan in the early years, but he hasn't practiced much. He only saw others practicing Taijiquan in the cave."

"Taihequan? Is it different from Taijiquan?"

Chen Xiong was a little curious. He originally thought that Taihequan was the Taijiquan of Taihe Mountain, but now it seems that this is not the case.

"It's different, so the old man can't understand it."

The Taoist priest thought for a while, and then said: "Fortunately, the old Taoist still remembers some routines, so you can call the layman to observe them."

The old Taoist stood up and recalled for a while, then slowly performed a set of boxing techniques with a very loose attitude, which was much worse than the wonderful feeling of the previous Baduanjin.

[You watched a segment of health-preserving boxing, and you seem to have some understanding of the principles of Tai Chi]

[Tai Chi experience +1]

"This Taihequan is indeed very similar to Taijiquan, or it is a Taijiquan method that removes all throwing skills and purely preserves health."

Chen Xiong only read it once, and he got a general idea of ​​Taihequan, and thought silently: "Even if this Taihe Mountain is not the birthplace of Taijiquan, it may have a great relationship. Taijiquan is probably Taihequan. It evolved from some styles of play."

"Whoo~"

The old Taoist slowly withdrew his fist.

"Master Dao is very skillful." Chen Xiong praised.

The old Taoist priest shook his head and said with a smile, "The layman just joked."

Chen Xiong put a stick of incense on the statue in the cave, then took out his wallet and wanted to donate some incense money, but was stopped by the old Taoist priest: "I don't need the money, the layman can do whatever he wants."

After a pause, the old Taoist leader seemed to think of something: "If the person the layman is looking for is a monk with Taoism, he should be registered at Zixiao Palace. If the Taoist name or layman's name is correct, he can be found in Where to practice is much more efficient than a layman wandering around the mountains."

Chen Xiong: "." Hastily, he even forgot that in modern society, Taoist priests also have to hold certificates to work!

"Thank you for the pointer."

Chen Xiong was also a little curious: "That is to say, all the priests who practiced in Taihe Mountain have registered in Zixiao Palace, right?"

"Of course not. Zixiao Palace only registers monks from the Taihe Mountain Taoist Association. If there are no monks, they have either gone down the mountain or are hermits on Taihe Mountain."

The old Taoist priest smiled: "Like an old Taoist, if you live in a scenic Taoist temple, the monthly association and the scenic spot will send some firewood, rice, oil and salt, otherwise the old Taoist would have kicked his legs, but he also has the obligation to receive tourists and lay Buddhists while practicing."

"But some Taoist friends don't like this kind of life, so they just find a place to practice on Taihe Mountain. The Taoist Association can't control them, but they don't have to take care of them. They don't disturb each other. These Taoist friends are the hidden people on Taihe Mountain However, we can’t find them at the Taoist temple, which is a tourist attraction. If the person the layman is looking for is a hermit, then it will only depend on fate.”

"Secret cultivation?"

Chen Xiong pondered over this title, guessing that it was those monks who became monks and practiced Taoism, but did not have a Taoist certificate.

Illegal monk?

Putting this outrageous idea behind him, Chen Xiong faintly felt that the monks of the Longmen sect he was looking for might not really be in the Taoist temple at Mount Taihe, so he couldn't help asking: "Master Taoist, if I want to visit these hermit monks, how about Do you know how it is more convenient?"

"This"

The old Taoist priest hesitated for a while, but still gave Chen Xiong some advice: "There are not many direct drinking water sources on Mount Taihe, only Huanglong Cave and Tianyi Lake are better for getting water. Most friends fetch water from Tianyi Lake, if you have time, you can go to Tianyi Lake to see, maybe you can meet a few hermits, but most of them are relatively withdrawn, laymen should not force it."

Chen Xiong nodded in response.

Practicing in the mountains is not a blessing, daily necessities, food, housing and transportation are all big problems.

Certified Taoist priests like the old Taoist priests can still get some supplies from associations and scenic spots, but it may be difficult for those monastic Taoist priests.

Look for it at the water source, it should be the way.

However, since they are all practicing in seclusion, they must all be deep social fear players, which is also a problem.

After Chen Xiong thanked the old Taoist priest, he left the Prince's Cave and planned to go back to Zixiao Palace to check it out before going to the Golden Summit.

If there are no clues, I'm afraid I can only go to Tianyi Lake to try my luck.
