I want to embrace the moon for nine days

Chapter 105: The five elements are out of balance and we must build a ladder to heaven

The place where you eat on Fuyao Mountain is called Wu Zang Temple. The writing of these three characters on the plaque is quite humorous.

After dark, the lights here are brightly lit.

Not only Su Hanshan and the others who woke up, but also many people in the main helm came to eat and get food at this time.

The lobby was as lively as the busiest inn in Lin'an City, with steam and aroma.

The dishes are all like home-cooked dishes, including several seasonal vegetables and melons mixed with water, stewed chicken soup, spring onion and egg drop soup, bacon and bamboo shoot soup, boiled broad beans, sliced ​​pepper meat, braised pork, soy sauce meat, and braised duck.

It seems to be very simple to make, but when you actually eat it, the taste is just right. The meat is rich, spicy and refreshing. The clear soup is appetizing and the melon slices relieve greasiness.

Su Hanshan loved the sweet sauced pork the most. He took several portions and ate them happily.

All of them have big appetites. Even Zhang Shuwei, who is used to keeping in good health and does not want to overeat, is tired from traveling all the way. Now that he has finally settled down, he eats more.

But in the end, Zhang Shuwei was the first to eat and go out for a walk.

There were no lights outside the yard, but the moonlight was very bright, illuminating the bamboo shadows clearly and falling on the ground.

Zhang Shuwei walked around twice and saw Li Qiumian in the pavilion in the distance, listening to several people reporting something.

He didn't get close, and waited until those people dispersed before walking over there.

"The matter with Feilai Peak's Western Fortress hasn't been settled yet?"

"The arrangements have been made over there."

There was a lingering gloom in Li Qiumian's expression. Faced with this problem, the corners of his lips curled up slightly and he said with a smile, "It would take me a long time to figure out even such a thing. How have we been able to figure it out all these years?" Are you doing well in Fuyao Mountain?"

Uncle Zhang was curious: "Who did you send to do it?"

The eight great guests in Fuyao Mountain are famous, and the four great disciples are also famous.

But the eight major guest ministers have their own careers, and the four major disciples are obviously not yet able to take charge of their own affairs.

Compared with Kuanggu Hall, there are five halls in the main altar, thirteen foreign affairs halls, and the illustrious names of the hall masters and incense masters of branch halls all over the world, it seems that there is a shortage of talents in Fuyao Mountain.

However, if someone makes a careful comparison, they will find that the growth rate of Fuyao Mountain's power in recent years is actually still higher than that of Kuang Gutang.

It's just that the people in Fuyao Mountain are not all members of the martial arts world, but are scattered in all walks of life, so that the backbone of those who are truly strong in martial arts and can get things done can also live in harmony.

It is said that those who are good at fighting have no great achievements. Leaders who are truly good at doing things can not only unite a large number of talents around them, but also make these talents work seamlessly together in daily life.

So much so that people cannot tell that there are multiple people taking action. Instead, it seems that there is only one leader, who is promoting all aspects of the cause and advancing bravely.

Li Qiumian mentioned several names, but Zhang Shuwei had never heard of them.

"In terms of martial arts, they may not be as good as Chaoyang, or at the same level as the masters of the Thirteen Halls outside Kuanggu Hall, but the connections they have built around Lin'an for many years, once activated simultaneously, can determine the success or failure of this matter."

Li Qiumian took a sip of tea and said, "Of course, the most important thing is because Su Hanshan caused the Kuanggutang Wings over there to suffer an unexpected and heavy blow. Otherwise, it would be difficult for us to find an opportunity to take action."

Zhang Shuwei sat opposite him, poured a cup of tea by himself without asking any questions, and just sat there drinking tea with him.

After a while, Li Qiumian sighed.

"I tried every possible means to find you, but I was neither in a hurry to let you see my mother nor let you take my pulse. You should have some guesses in your mind."

Li Qiumian said calmly, "Actually, there is something wrong with Marshal Meng's health. Three years ago, he had a premonition and talked to me. Over the past three years, his condition seems to have been getting worse."

"But things are busy at the border, and he can't get away from him. The famous doctor I sent secretly can't diagnose anything. He has to go back to Beijing to discuss a major matter with the emperor recently. He just has the opportunity to come back to you and take good care of him."

Zhang Shuwei's hand holding the tea cup stopped in mid-air, with a complicated expression on his face.

But before he could speak, Li Qiumian had already continued talking on her own.

"This matter itself is very distressing, but the fact that the news about his serious illness has spread before there is a diagnosis is even more distressing."

"They came here just now to tell me that the news has been leaked from the palace."

After Li Qiumian finished speaking, he drank up the tea in one gulp, chewing the tea leaves slowly in his mouth, his face dark and unclear.

When he was looking for famous doctors from all over the world, he used so many tricks to spread suspicion and spent so much effort, he finally succeeded in inviting Zhang Shuwei over, and also kept this piece of news that would inevitably cause turmoil.

As a result, I turned around and discovered that the news had been exposed from the other side, ha!Ah!
Uncle Zhang thought for a moment and felt angry for him, and said, "I have heard about the emperor's reputation in recent years, but how come he can be so omitted on such a big matter?"

The emperor was not an unintelligent person. If he had shown the agility and intelligence he had when he seized power from Shi Miyuan, and had the assistance of Dong Songchen and others around him, the news would never be leaked.

"Oh, I hope he is just addicted to pleasure and his abilities have deteriorated. That's why he fails to succeed and fails. I'm afraid that he has unconsciously become suspicious of Marshal Meng, which is why he is so careless in these matters."

Li Qiumian said in a deep voice, "In the past two years, I really want to find an opportunity to feed him some poison that needs to be detoxified regularly to control him."

"Prime Minister Fan also told me that due to the death of his own son in the first half of the year, he insisted on making his nephew, who had a brain disease in his childhood and whose intellectual response was significantly lower than ordinary people, the crown prince. No matter how much Prime Minister Fan tried to dissuade him, he would not accept it from the people anymore. Choose talented adopted sons from the clan."

When Zhang Shuwei heard this, he was obviously choked. He drank most of the cup of tea silently, and finally said: "I have many such poisons, and there are several of them. I guarantee that no one can cure them except me." ”

Li Qiumian was slightly stunned and laughed.

What he said was just angry words. It wasn't that he didn't want to do it, but that he couldn't do it.

There are many masters around the emperor, especially Dong Songchen, the head of the chamberlain. Even Li Qiumian feels that he is a bit opaque, and he may have reached the master level.

If Fuyaoshan rashly attacks the emperor, it will only worsen the situation faster.

"I originally wanted to wait until you had a diagnosis in person, but now it seems that it is better to prepare early."

Li Qiumian got up and took Zhang Shuwei to his study. He fumbled around for a while with a lantern, unlocked several mechanisms, and opened a hidden compartment.

In the hidden compartment is a yellowed booklet and multiple diagnosis records.

"This is……"

Zhang Shuwei opened the booklet and asked in surprise, "The manual of Shaohao Yin Fu Dao?"

Li Qiumian nodded: "Marshal Meng had completely completed the tempering of his lungs three years ago and began to focus on other organs. It was at that time that he discovered that he would experience severe pain in his liver."

"His military advisors and the people I sent could only diagnose some minor problems and could not confirm the real root problem. However, according to Marshal Meng's introspection, it is said that the energy of the five elements is out of balance between the five internal organs."

"The lungs belong to metal, the liver belongs to wood, and metal overcomes wood, so he developed liver disease. In the past three years, he first tried to temper the liver, but the condition worsened. After recuperating, he turned to tempering the kidneys, hoping that metal would generate water and water would generate wood. , alleviate the condition.”

"Now it seems that it has obviously failed."

"You need to understand his condition. The total of these diagnostic records may not be as important as this manual."

Zhang Shuwei frowned: "In terms of martial arts alone, I'm not as good as you."

"You just can't beat me, but in terms of martial arts theory, you are much more knowledgeable than me."

Li Qiumian said slowly, "Moreover, after discussing with Marshal Meng, I have a vague feeling that to solve the problem of the imbalance of Qi in the five internal organs and the five elements, we cannot just focus on the five internal organs."

"The five elements are interfering with each other. No matter which one is tempered more intensively, when the skill becomes deeper, it may cause a certain organ to be restrained."

"Perhaps, we need to start on the basis of another human body with less obvious attribute bias, so as to strengthen the regulation of the internal organs' vitality by the entire human body, so that the organs that have been tempered first will not oppress the organs that are suppressed. It’s the right way to solve the problem.”

Li Qiumian's eyes were shining as she stared closely at Zhang Shuwei, "The reason why I sent a large number of people to find you first is not only because you have the best medical skills and you are an old friend, but also because you seemed to have said that back then..."

"Tempering the spine is the right way?"

Zhang Shuwei looked surprised.

Although he insisted that the most correct way to enter the realm of reincarnation was to temper the spine first, he never thought that the backlash suffered by those who had already gone very far on the path of a master could also be tempered by tempering the spine. to solve.

"It is indeed possible."

Uncle Zhang looked at the sword manual and murmured, "But Old Meng has already tempered his entire lungs. It is much more difficult for him to practice the spinal route in this state than to take the spinal route from the beginning."

"I need a master who has taken this path, or even someone who has taken this path to become a master, to confirm each other with Lao Meng."

Li Qiumian said: "We have also thought about this. In the past three years, we have been looking for..."

Zhang Shuwei interrupted him directly: "Can the person you found compare to Su Hanshan?"

Li Qiumian was stunned: "Did Hanshan take the spine route? Didn't he train his eyes?"

"Oh, you seem to have misunderstood something."

Zhang Shuwei covered the sword manual, punched the cover of the book, and smiled. "Not only does he follow the spine route, but there is probably no one in the world who is closer to the master state than him on this route." Li Qiumian was surprised by this. He was happy, but he couldn't help but have a trace of doubt: "Can such a good thing happen? Such a person happened to be met by us at this time."

"I think you were reincarnated into the Li family and have used all the good things. You have struggled so much for so many years and you don't even know what real good luck looks like."

Zhang Shuwei saw his doubts and felt a little dissatisfied, and said, "Zheng Dao gave half a steamed bun to an old beggar on the side of the road. He was directly washed and marrowed by him to improve his qualifications. He also gave him a book that could almost reach the level of a master. Tianzhu magic."

"When he joins Kuanggu Hall, their chief leader happens to be a master who practices both Zen and Tantric Buddhism and understands the essence of Tianzhu martial arts. In your opinion, is this a coincidence?"

Li Qiumian smiled and said: "I have heard all Chaoyang's narrations, and I have personally seen the look in your eyes on the boat. Although I think it is a coincidence, I do not doubt Hanshan's intentions."

Zhang Shuwei remembered that Su Hanshan seemed to have been practicing the Pure Yang Kung Fu from his mother's womb, and it had become instinctual. The foundation was extremely solid, and he couldn't help but sigh: "Perhaps God has mercy on us and has given us such an opportunity." Bar."

"Reading the books in Fuyao Mountain at will, and the acupuncture techniques I promised to help him refine his martial arts are the rewards he deserves."

"Now it seems that we should do our best to give him more help."

Li Qiumian nodded sincerely.

The night is long and will eventually end. The Jade Rabbit travels westward, and the dawn gradually emerges in the east.

Su Hanshan ate and drank enough and rested very energetically. He changed into dry clothes. In the early morning, he only had a bowl of porridge and then walked to Kuzhou Pavilion.

On the way he looked up and saw a very familiar sight.

The sun and the moon are in opposition, rising in the east and setting in the west. It sounds like when one jumps out of the horizon, the other should just disappear below the horizon.

But in fact, Su Hanshan often saw in his previous life that the moon had almost reached its zenith before the sunset, and both the sun and the moon were in the south of the sky.

Now looking at Fuyao Mountain, among the sea of ​​clouds in the east, the hazy orange-red sun has revealed most of its outline.

The moon is still high in the western sky, and it will take at least an hour before it truly disappears.

This feeling of reunion after a long absence made him smile.

But when he actually walked to Kuzhou Pavilion, he was somewhat surprised to find that Li Qiumian and Zhang Shuwei were standing beside the long table in the lobby, waiting for him.

"I have heard from Brother Zhang that you want to join other martial arts schools to experience the mysteries of other parts of the human body, compare and verify them, and gain a deeper understanding of the path to tempering the spine."

Li Qiumian patted the piles of books on the table and said, "I have checked out all the parts that may be suitable for you. You and Brother Zhang can take a look and decide on a more secure order."

Su Hanshan cupped his fists and said, "Thank you very much!"

He walked to the table and sat down, quietly reading through it. After a while, he had already made up his mind and decided to start with the binocular-focusing technique "Kong Fang Ru Lun Shen She Jue" to experience it.

This set of mental techniques is said to be practiced by sharpshooters. After mastering it, if you stare at a copper coin from fifty steps away, you will feel that the copper coin is as big as a wheel, and even the smallest wear and tear can be clearly seen.

Shooting people with such eyesight, no matter what kind of armor, it will be difficult to prevent an arrow that sneaks in through the cracks.

It is a pity that Fuyao Mountain’s collection of books cannot cover all parts of the human body.

Among these mental methods, there are obvious emphasis and proven effectiveness, currently only the eyes, ears, nose and throat, heart, liver, spleen, lungs, gallbladder, metacarpal bones, and foot bones.

Su Hanshan quickly transformed part of his internal energy into the state of the first mental method, and tried to figure out the unique feeling of nourishing his eyes with the characteristics of this internal energy.

During this process, Li Qiumian and Zhang Shuwei had also been reading books in Kuzhou Pavilion.

Zhang Shuwei also looked through various collections, and even focused on the medical and military classics related to "eyes".

However, Li Qiumian seemed to be dealing with Fuyao Mountain's business documents, and he didn't know why he didn't go to his study but stayed here instead.

The three of them didn't talk to each other. They just spent most of the day peacefully and contentedly. Someone also brought food at noon.

In the afternoon, Zhang Shuwei took the initiative to get up.

"I said before that you don't need to master all these mental skills, you just need to experience them, and acupuncture can try to deepen this experience."

Zhang Shuwei said, "I have also studied the mental method you are savoring now, and I can give the injection. However, because Old Li is here, I have an additional method that I have not mentioned to you before."

Su Hanshan asked curiously: "What?"

Li Qiumian looked up from the document: "I will temporarily seal your Dantian with my own skills, weakening the movement of skills in other parts of your body, leaving only the inner energy in your eyes."

Having said this, there was a slight look of disapproval on his face.

"Actually, I think this method is a bit redundant. A martial arts practitioner's perception of the body depends to a large extent on the blessing of internal strength."

"Suppressing the internal force in other parts of your body seems to make the feelings in your eyes more vivid, but in fact it affects the integrity of the warrior's perception, and the experience becomes less delicate. Over and over again, the progress of practice will follow me. If I don’t suppress you, it should be about the same.”

Uncle Zhang smiled and said: "I also made a guess. Give it a try first. You won't suffer any loss."

Su Hanshan also agreed to try, and the three of them took action.

Su Hanshan just sat on the chair, put his hands on the armrests, closed his eyes, Zhang Shuwei applied acupuncture on him, and Li Qiumian stretched out a palm, pressed his back, exerted a strong force, and slowly suppressed it.

Because Su Hanshan did not resist, Li Qiumian soon felt that he had successfully suppressed all the opponent's internal forces except his eyes.

But it didn't take long for Li Qiumian to discover something surprising.

The internal energy in Su Hanshan's meridians has clearly been suppressed, but the aura all over his body is still in a state of smooth circulation, pure and seamless.

It was as if besides the internal energy suppressed by Li Qiumian, there was still a very fine inner energy that even a master like him could not grasp, and it continued to flow despite his suppression.

Li Qiumian looked at Zhang Shuwei and raised his eyebrows.

Zhang Shuwei showed an expression that was indeed the case, and used the "ant language sound transmission" method to condense the sound into a line and transmit it to Li Qiumian's ears.

"Hanshan mentioned before that he had already started to practice the art of breathing and breathing in his internal energy when he was a child. During the fastest development stage, his internal energy coexisted and grew with it, and he never slacked off."

"So to others, internal force is something that needs to be used deliberately to be produced, but for Hanshan, internal force is already a part of his body function. Even if he does not exercise, as long as he breathes normally, he will produce it. Internal force.”

"It's just that he is too diligent. As long as he is awake, there is basically no time when he is not exercising, so maybe even he himself doesn't know this."

Li Qiumian understood clearly and said via voice: "So, unless he is beaten to an obvious disability, even I cannot completely suppress the integrity of his whole body's perception."

"In this way, in this state, he can not only maintain complete and delicate perception, but also get a distinct and unique experience?"

Zhang Shuwei nodded: "A warrior's physique that can only be cultivated by focusing on it since childhood can also help us solve problems. That's why I say, this is really like an opportunity given to us by God."

Acupuncture should not be continued for too long.

Nearly an hour later, Zhang Shuwei observed and pulled out the silver needle, and Li Qiumian also withdrew his palm.

The moment Su Hanshan opened his eyes, there seemed to be a circle of bright light, blooming from the pupil to the entire eye, then shrinking back, gathering into a needle-like light, hidden in the pupil.

"This feeling is really novel."

Su Hanshan stood up and scanned the surroundings, then looked at Li Qiumian, who was sweating slightly on his forehead. "This kind of training method is very effective, but if the mountain master is here to help every day, it would be too much effort."

"It doesn't matter. You saved Qiu Mian and escorted Brother Zhang. You should be repayed. Besides, I have something else to ask for."

Anyway, the news that Meng Zhaoxuan was seriously ill had been leaked, so Li Qiumian no longer guarded the situation so closely and directly told the whole story.

"It means that after I break through, I will describe my feelings in detail and help deduce a set of secrets to solve the shortcomings of Marshal Meng's exercises."

After hearing this, Su Hanshan smiled brightly and said, "I have no reason to refuse such a win-win thing."

Li Qiumian was relieved. Seeing Su Hanshan's talent in martial arts with his own eyes, the heavy stone in his heart in the past three years finally became looser.

I hope everything goes well. After Marshal Meng comes back, he will solve the shortcomings of the technique, and at least the form will not collapse.

However, during the days when he was assisting Su Hanshan in practicing martial arts, he was also wary of the movements of various forces and handling affairs.

The chief helmsman of Fuyao Mountain received two troublesome messages one after another.

First, the emperor wanted to summon Zhang Shuwei and Su Hanshan.

Second, Shen Weiran, the master of Kongmeng Pavilion in the East China Sea, sent a message saying that the news that Meng Zhaoxuan was seriously ill had somehow reached the Annan Kingdom, and the emperor's uncle Chen Shouzhi of the Annan Kingdom wanted to visit Lin'an.

From this, it is possible that Dali and the Mongol Khanate have also learned about this matter.

Those who have strength and status in the world, who are looking forward to Meng Zhaoxuan's recovery and who want to ensure that Meng Zhaoxuan cannot survive, will definitely try to reach out to Lin'an City.
