Comprehensive martial arts: He was in the Jin Kingdom, but he returned to the Southern Song Dynasty

Chapter 151 Qimen Five Elements, Unpredictable Changes

They drifted on the sea for several days and nights in a row, with nothing to do during that time. Lu Chen had been practicing martial arts diligently.

Slowly, the boat finally approached Taohua Island as planned. The island was covered with colorful flowers and trees, lush and green, and prosperous. It was March, the season when peach blossoms were in full bloom, and the beauty was indescribable. It was indeed a beautiful view.

Lu Chen led everyone ashore, carried away all kinds of antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and gave the boatman a lot of rewards. The boatman turned around, sailed the boat across the ocean, and disappeared in the waves.

In front of the group of people, there were just countless flowers and plants, with no end in sight. Looking back, there was a vast ocean. Looking at the flowers again, there was a cluster on the left, a cluster on the right, and they were all the same in all directions, which made people dizzy.

Lu Chen did not say anything, but just looked on quietly, standing there with a calm expression, as if he was thinking about something, or in a daze.

The group fell into silence.

A disciple of the Five Mountains Sword Sect was panicked when he saw this scene. He felt that this Peach Blossom Island did not look like a place where people lived, and there were no boats around. Could it be that Taoist Master Lu made a mistake in following the map and ended up finding an uninhabited place?

If this is the case, they, a group of landlubbers, have come to this deep ocean where there is no sky and no ground. They are afraid that they will never be able to go back and will have to spend the rest of their lives here.

No, it is impossible for them to live there forever. If there are no living creatures on the island, they will probably starve to death.

The more he thought about it, the more scared he became. He didn't know if it was because of his impatience. Thinking about how he had followed Lu Chen to such a dangerous place, his expression gradually became ferocious and terrifying, and he was panting like a cow. His face turned red, like a balloon that had been blown up.

Suddenly, sweat began to form on his forehead, and he would clench his fists from time to time, or reach out to touch the hilt of the long sword at his waist. When he looked at Lu Chen, his eyes revealed a green luster, as if he had suddenly transformed from a human into a wolf.

He was not the only one who had this thought, most of the people in the group shared the same opinion.

This group of young disciples standing beside Peach Blossom Island suddenly felt an extremely subtle and dangerous atmosphere, as if they were bombs that were about to explode with a spark.

Lu Chen suddenly turned around, came to the shore, grabbed a handful of water, and sprinkled it back.

He shouted, "Chao!"

This was a shout, but the sound was not loud, just sharp, like an explosion.

But it seemed as if in broad daylight, it suddenly echoed in everyone's heart.

Along with it came the handful of water that Lu Chen had held in his hand.

Once it was scattered, it turned into thousands of water droplets in the air. Under the sunlight, it showed thousands of colors and hit everyone's forehead.

An incomparably cool and refreshing water vapor, with no root or source, emerged like a living spring, sweeping away all the restlessness, boredom and depression.

Many young men present shook their bodies at the same time, as if they had been enlightened, or as if they had been hit by a wake-up call. The green light in their eyes disappeared, and was replaced by a kind of clarity.

They were extremely surprised and looked at each other, "This..."

Needless to say, they are all people of the martial arts world. Even if their martial arts skills are low, they know some stories about the martial arts world. Naturally, they know that they have been led astray without realizing it.

Lu Chen explained, "The Qimen Five Elements Formation on Peach Blossom Island can produce gold, wood, water, fire and earth to confuse people. You were aroused by your inner fire just now, and you were restless. However, I took water to be self-sufficient, activated a little clarity in everyone's heart, and restrained the inner fire."

Many disciples finally understood and were half shocked and half angry. "Master Huang is indeed extraordinary, worthy of being one of the five great scholars. But we came here this time to treat him with courtesy and brought so many gifts. It is too disrespectful for him to refuse us."

Lu Chen walked forward, "I have seen the mystery of this formation. If you follow me, you will have nothing to worry about. But remember not to have such extreme joy, anger, sorrow, or worry again. In fact, this formation was not something Huang Yaoshi wanted to do on his own initiative. Everything was created by your own hearts. You are the ones who are troubling yourself."

The disciples nodded in agreement, then concentrated their minds and calmed down, following Lu Chen.

However, the mind is something that cannot be contained just because one wants to. As the saying goes, the mind is a monkey and the mind is a horse. Once they start running, they will run around in all directions and are difficult to control.

Although they tried their best to clear their minds of distracting thoughts, some of them did not do so well enough.

After walking for dozens of steps, suddenly, some people became decadent, their whole body felt sore and weak, and they felt that each step became heavier and heavier. They wanted to give up and go back, and they turned into a puddle of mud and were about to fall down.

This time, these people were hit again, but the thoughts in their hearts were not like before when they were burned by fire, burning with a lot of impetuousness and anger, but a feeling of corruption.

No matter how solid something is, if you soak it in water for a long time, it will corrode and rot.

Whether it is as strong as diamond or as hard as stone, there is no exception.

The further the disciples walked, the more depressed they became. They almost didn't want to take a step. In their hearts, they felt that the sky and the earth were empty, the past was empty, the future was empty, and nothing great existed. People lived just to eat and sleep, and there was no other hope.

In Lu Chen's words, this is called playing badly. If it were in reality, this group of people would have sex all day long, and they would be a group of giant babies who let others take care of everything.

Lu Chen took a quick glance and understood everything in his mind, "This is the Dirty Water Method. The second change in the Qimen Five Elements Formation has come. He used the Dirty Water Method to break my Living Spring Method. It's really amazing."

He was amazed.

The word "shui zang" means kidney. The word "zang" here does not mean dirty, but means internal organs.

However, what Lu Chen meant by "dirty water" here is a double entendre, which means both the internal organs of water and dirty water.

Huang Yaoshi is indeed worthy of being a grandmaster. His works fully describe the changes of the five elements, which are completely endless and change with the times.

At first, many disciples felt uneasy because the boatman had gone away and there was no boat. Then they saw the magnificent and quiet scene of Peach Blossom Island in front of them, and they felt uneasy.

This thought actually only lasts for a moment and is very common. Life is full of different distracting thoughts. In a moment, things change in a thousand ways, appear and disappear at the same time, and are hard to grasp.

In fact, even the disciples themselves were not aware of these thoughts.

However, Huang Yaoshi's formation detected it and took advantage of it, digging out more negative emotions from it, turning it into a ball of inner fire that burned more and more fiercely.

Afterwards, Lu Chen used the living spring to break the fire in his heart.

However, it was precisely this breakthrough that became the basis for Huang Yaoshi's next step in the formation. In other words, no matter what method Lu Chen used, the Qimen Five Elements Formation would always find a way to create changes on this basis and use it to create new things.

All things in the world are constantly rotating within the Five Elements and cannot escape.

This time, Lu Chen's words planted the impression in everyone's mind that Huang Yaoshi was extremely powerful, and they fell into his trap without realizing it.

In the hearts of many disciples, an invisible fear of Huang Yaoshi arose.

The Qimen Five Elements Formation captures this fear and amplifies it for use.

This kind of fear is dark and damp, like dirty water that can pollute a normal mind.

This caused these disciples to become extremely decadent, with no fighting spirit at all, and turned into a puddle of mud.

They will no longer have the courage to confront Huang Yaoshi, and will live under this psychological shadow for the rest of their lives.

Lu Chen glanced sideways and even discovered that if time went on, this group of disciples would literally become a puddle of mud - this extremely dirty water could even affect reality in a spiritual sense, making the bones of many disciples become soft and fragile.

If they stay for too long, it might affect their lives. This is also an attack on Lu Chen. The changes in the Qimen Five Elements Formation are useless to Lu Chen's mind, but they can use the lives of those disciples to form an offensive.

If Lu Chen insists on doing it his own way, he will have to bear the lives of so many disciples. This is a kind of dirty water.

It is also morally dirty water.

What a powerful Qimen Five Elements Formation! Its offensive is indeed endless and pervasive.

Ouyang Feng used the Nine Yin Scriptures on strange poisons, but Huang Yaoshi studied the changes of the Five Elements and applied them to formations.

But no one knows what kind of attainments Duan Zhixing and Hong Qigong have in the Nine Yin Scriptures.

Lu Chen had this thought and suddenly stopped.

With just this one sound, most of the disciples fell down like zombies, and their bodies were completely limp.

The other disciples saw this and were horrified, immediately realizing that they had been tricked.

This knowledge not only failed to alleviate the situation, but instead frightened them to the point of panic. Everyone lost their minds and seemed to be infected. They felt sore all over and fell down one after another.

This was even more serious than the anger in their hearts, because they knew that Huang Yaoshi's formation was designed to deal with them, but they still fell into his trap.

While cursing Huang Yaoshi, he also felt that Huang Yaoshi was extremely powerful and that he could not break through the formation, so he wanted to go home.

"Master Lu, Master Huang is too powerful. We have all been tricked. Our eyelids feel as if they weigh a thousand pounds. We can't even take a single step..."

"Hey, I miss my family, I want a comfortable environment, I might get seasick, Master Lu..."

"If we continue to move forward, we will definitely die. Maybe thousands of years will pass before our bodies are discovered. Taoist Lu, I want to go home..."

"You can't win, Taoist Lu. I know this method is useless to us. No matter how powerful you are, you can't make others as powerful as you. I am just a waste..."

"Yes, yes, yes. We have never achieved anything in our lives, so naturally we cannot compare to you. But we can't go even half a step further on this road..."

"Master Lu, you must take everyone's lives into consideration..."

They all began to persuade Lu Chen, some crying, some making a scene, some using moral blackmail. And so on, it was really like thousands of French people using sweet words and tricks, using every possible means.

Lu Chen remained calm, squatted down, grabbed a handful of dirt from the ground, but did not sprinkle it on everyone.

Different methods are required for different mutual generation and mutual restraint relationships.

He gathered a lot of clay in his hand, and while looking back at those people to see their appearance and figure, with his other hand he quickly pressed down on a lump of clay and molded the clay into different little people.

Each little figure corresponds to the appearance of a person, and is lifelike and vivid.

Lu Chen molded the figurines of all the people, blew on each of them, and called out, "People."

What a great man.

How can one who is kind, righteous, polite, wise and trustworthy give up halfway and be carried away by defeatism?
I don’t know what happened, but everyone saw Lu Chen making humans out of clay, and they immediately thought of the legend of “Nuwa creating humans”.

However, the Lu Chen in front of him was not a man with a human head and a snake body, nor was he an ancient goddess. Of course, he was just a human being.

People like everyone else.

Suddenly, one of the disciples struggled to get up. His body was soft and boneless, but he crawled in front of Lu Chen and reached out to take a clay figure.

What they got were clay figures that matched their own appearance.

The disciple didn't know why he did this, but some impulse surged in his heart and he stared at the clay figure closely.

But he saw that his own face, on the clay figure, was full of smiles.

Brilliant, glorious, and full of vision for the future.

That was the smile of the savages of ancient times, who knew nothing and were extremely stupid. They knew nothing about thunder, rain, fire, strong winds, wild beasts, earthquakes and other disasters. There was a fire burning there, but they themselves did not know how to protect themselves and would burn themselves to death.

However, such people have established the prosperous civilization we have today and have thrived for thousands of years.

How could Huang Yaoshi compare to the various disasters in nature?

Don’t you know how many times better your conditions are than those of the predecessors?
Thinking like this, the disciple slowly stood up after a while and put the clay figure around his waist.

Seeing one disciple behave like this, the other disciples were also shocked and filled with impulse.

I followed and it was the same. By grabbing the clay figure that was the same as myself, I seemed to gain some kind of strength and slowly became healthy again from my soft and decadent state.

Gradually, everyone found their own clay figure. In the ancient man who looked like them, they found their courage and stood up.

Lu Chen looked at them and said with a smile, "Even if Huang Yaoshi can kill us, he can't defeat us. This is my method of using earth to overcome water, 'the method of kneading earth'."

Keep going.

Next, he continued to fight against the Qimen Five Elements Formation.

The Qimen Five Elements Formation used earth, wood, and metal successively, but they were all broken by Lu Chen one by one.

During this process, Lu Chen's use of the Nine Yin Scriptures became more and more proficient.

He discovered that all the Five Supremes were able to connect all the attributes from a single attribute by relying on the ability to control birth and death. No matter which copy of the Nine Yin Scriptures they had in their hands, they were all masters who were well versed in the Five Elements.

In this regard, Lu Chen is already on the same level as them. If Huang Yaoshi does not use force to suppress others, he may not be stronger than Lu Chen. He may not even have a more fundamental understanding of the two principles of "generation and restraint" than Lu Chen.

Along the way, he tried every possible way to use the Qimen Five Elements Formation, but to no avail.

At the beginning, it would immediately change into various forms and stimulate the heart fire as soon as people came onto the island. After the heart fire was broken by Lu Chen, the water dirty method came, but it was only a matter of dozens of steps later.

But when it came to the earth element, they had already walked several dozen more feet.

By the time Lu Chen broke this move and it reached the wood attribute, it took a full half hour.

Then wait until the deer dust breaks the wood element and evolves into metal, until the moon is at its zenith and the night is hazy.

Lu Chen broke through the metal, and the flowers and trees in front of him bloomed and made way, revealing a wide road waiting for him.

At the end of the road, there was a building among the shadows. In front of the building, there stood a middle-aged man who looked like a scholar.

The middle-aged man looked at them and sighed, "What a Quanzhen Taoist Lu Chen, at such a young age, he is proficient in the transformation of the five elements and broke all my Qimen Five Elements Formation. From this point of view, Brother Chongyang really has a successor. Is it possible that the Nine Yin Manual will return to your Quanzhen Sect?"
