The road to Jianghu started from the martial arts hall

Chapter 169: Taixu Eyes and Hidden Veins Are All Open, Dividing Yin and Yang
The escort agency is not very prominent in the world, and there is an escort agency in almost every county in the Central Plains.

There are countless escort agencies in the world.

However, the business of most escort agencies is limited to escorting some goods within a prefecture, from one county to another, a distance of no more than a thousand miles at most.

The Sihai Escort Agency, one of the Thirty-Six Gangs, is the best escort agency in the world and is well-known to everyone.

In addition to their business in the 46 states of the Central Plains, the Sihai Escort Agency's convoys can also be seen escorting goods in the Miao area in the south, the prairies in the north, and the hundreds of desert countries in the Western Regions.

In an ordinary escort agency, anyone with Xiantian Tongmai can serve as the chief escort, but in the Sihai Escort Agency, he can only be a small team leader at most, and only those who have reached the Kaiqiao realm are qualified to lead the team to go out on an escort mission.

In some important branches, there are even Yin Shen masters serving as escort leaders.

The Sihai Escort Agency does not have a Yin Shen Grandmaster in its Jiangzhou branch, and the escort leader is just a person at the Kaiqiao extreme level.

After Dongfang Que and Yan Ming recalled the information about the Sihai Escort Agency, they felt that things were getting serious.

"Could it be that the Four Seas Escort Agency is also involved with the Black Water Abyss?"

The two men looked solemn as they saw the two teams in the mountains begin to exchange goods with each other.

After about an incense stick of time, they parted ways without any further ado.

The Sihai Escort Agency's convoy continued to move towards Chunyang Prefecture, carrying two hundred carts of grain and pig iron.

The bandits from Black Wind Village began their return journey carrying large, airtight boxes, and no one knew what was inside.

Yan Ming asked solemnly: "What should we do next? Who should we follow?"

Dongfang Que said directly: "You and I will follow our own paths. After half a month, no matter whether we reach our destination or not, I will immediately return to meet you at the old place. Be careful!"

They reached an agreement in just two sentences, and without further ado, they immediately went their separate ways to pursue their respective goals.

Dongfang Que followed the Sihai Escort Agency's convoy all the way, and when the other party rested, he also rested and ate some dry food.

When the other party set out on the road, he would follow them three miles away, but would not get close, to prevent the experts in the team from noticing.

We followed for two days, trekking through mountains and rivers for more than 300 miles, and finally left the Corridor Mountains and set foot in the territory of Chunyang Prefecture.

The Sihai Escort Agency convoy also arrived on the official road, and the speed was much faster than in the mountains.

Dongfang Que followed the other party for another day. At night, the convoy left the official road and entered a small village not far away to rest.

Dongfang Que immediately discovered something strange. There was no sign of human habitation in the village, just like a ghost village.

The people from the Sihai Escort Agency just walked in and found rooms to rest, as if they were not surprised at all that there was no one here.

This made Dongfang Que suspicious: "Why is there no one in the village?"

He suppressed his doubts and rested for a night. The next morning, the escort company set off early and he continued to follow.

On the second night, the escort company came to an uninhabited village to rest. However, no one looked surprised, as if they had known that there was no one in the village.

Dongfang Que's pupils suddenly shrank when he saw this scene, and he realized something. He stopped following the Sihai Escort Agency convoy, but left them behind and continued to go deeper into Chunyang Prefecture.

Without any worries, traveling alone, it is hard to tell how much faster he would be able to outpace the convoy.

He flew all the way and found the third village in just half an hour. Just as he expected, there was no one in the village!
Dongfang Que went straight into the village to check and visited every house.

It was discovered that all kinds of furniture, farm tools, bowls, chopsticks, food bottles and jars in the room were well preserved, but the surface was covered with a layer of dust.

He carefully checked the traces and found that no one had lived here for at least two months!

"Where are the people? Where have they gone?"

As Dongfang Que was thinking about it, he suddenly recalled the Tianli Sect's rebellion at the end of last year.

Although for the Jiangzhou Prefecture Army, it was just an egg hitting a stone and could be easily suppressed.

But the Tianli Sect needs a large population to gather together and rebel!

Where do people come from?
These three deserted villages obviously told him the answer.

"No, we can't draw a conclusion yet. We have to take a look at other villages first!"

Thinking of this, Dongfang Que felt a chill in his heart and immediately left the village to look for evidence in other villages in Chunyang Prefecture to see if it was as he had guessed.

Until the third night, Dongfang Que had been awake for two days and two nights. After checking a village that was still deserted, his face became extremely solemn.

I saw that his face was a little pale and there were some bloodshot in his eyes.

After three days of running around at full speed, he was a little exhausted.

"I have traveled over 3,000 miles and visited over 500 villages, but there is no one there. What on earth happened in Chunyang Prefecture that there is no one living within a thousand miles!"

On the way, he passed by more than a dozen county towns, where there were fires and smoke from cooking, but he did not dare to enter the city.

When he saw that the villages along the way were deserted, Dongfang Que realized the seriousness of the situation and didn't even dare to enter the county town.

Such a large-scale population disappearance incident was not heard at all in other parts of Jiangzhou.

And the Six Gates did not receive any information from the secret agents lurking in Chunyang Mansion.

All of these can explain the situation.

"Chunyang Mansion is completely finished."

Time flies, three days passed in a flash, and another sun sets.

Fang Xun, who got off work on time and went home, had no idea what was happening to Dongfang Que thousands of miles away.

When he entered the mansion, every disciple of the Sixingtang or servant he met greeted him respectfully.

Fang Xun simply nodded in response and walked all the way towards the large attic deep inside.

When passing by a training square on the way, he took a look and saw that Bai Wufeng, who had been lying on the bed before, was now instructing several disciples in swordsmanship in the yard.

Apart from looking a little pale, he looked pretty good.

He practiced the Black Book and the Day-Changing Method, and used the Black Jade Ointment to reconnect broken bones.

After more than half a month of recuperation, although it is still far from cured, I can now get out of bed and move freely.

Fang Xun did not make a sound to disturb the other party. He crossed the yard in three or two steps and walked towards the attic while still thinking about the problem of "The Black Book" in his heart.

In these five days, he has defeated Qu Ao and obtained the "Nine Changes of Condensation" and studied it.

This technique, which focused on cultivating acupoints, did not disappoint him and was just right for him to refine his acupoints.

Not only that, after absorbing the other party's martial arts insights and memories, it was also of great help in the repair of the "Black Book", and the deduction was completed this afternoon.

He also practiced it on a training dummy in the martial arts hall, and the effect was much better than he expected.

Thinking of this, Fang Xun unconsciously quickened his pace, wanting to start practicing his hidden meridians. Not long after, he arrived at the attic, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw that Duan Mingfu had prepared a table full of medicinal food for him.

Duan Mingfu knew Fang Xun's habits and that he didn't like to waste time, so he prepared dinner for him in advance every day to ensure that Fang Xun could eat hot medicinal food as soon as he got home.

During these three days, Sun Youcai worked overtime every day to search the house. After the search, he did not forget to send part of the money he obtained to Fang Xun's house. This was his share.

In the past half month, Tianshi Sandalwood business has not been back on track, and the finances of Sixingtang are still somewhat stretched due to rapid expansion.

But with the extra money obtained from Fang Xun's house search, they immediately became much more well-off. However, Duan Mingfu did not use the money to ease the finances of the Sixingtang.

Instead, it was used to purchase a large amount of medicinal materials for use in medicinal diets, for him and Fang Xun, Dongfang Que, Yan Ming, and Bai Wufeng to practice.

This made Fang Xun feel that he could finally enjoy the treatment of the Thirty-Six True Instructors.

It only took him a short while to satisfy his hunger and finish off this medicinal meal that was worth at least several years' income for an ordinary family.

After the meal, he did not clear the table and dishes, but went straight back to his room and sat cross-legged. The servants would take care of the table and dishes.

In "Cang Hai", if you ask which martial arts is the most powerful, about 70% of people in the world will say it is "Zhou Liu Xu Gong".

Another 20% would say it was "Mighty Powers of King Kong", and the last 10% would say it was "The Black Book".

Among them, Gu Shentong's "The Emperor's View of Qi" is not included in the evaluation, because "The Emperor's View of Qi" does not describe any specific exercises, and it all depends on one's own understanding.

This is the same reason why only Li Xunhuan can master the Little Li Flying Dagger.

The "Black Book" can be said to be the most evil and most hated martial arts in "Cang Hai".

And now Fang Xun was about to start practicing, and for this purpose he specially asked Yu Jiaolong for three days' leave, saying that he wanted to go into seclusion.

Maybe it was because Fang Xun submitted five lists every day, which made Yu Jiaolong in a very good mood, so she approved his leave with a wave of her hand.

According to the original version of "The Black Book", one must have others infuse true qi into one's own hidden meridians to cultivate it into calamity power before one can begin practicing.

But since accepting the true qi of others will turn you into a robbery slave, why not just use your own true qi to input it into your hidden veins to generate robbery power?
It sounds easy, but it is not that easy to do.

Otherwise, if it were really that simple, the masters of West City in "Cang Hai" would have thought of it long ago, and why would "The Black Book" be given an ominous name?
Fang Xun closed his eyes and concentrated. He did not input his true energy into the meridians of the Three Enclosures and Twenty-Eight Mansions as in the original version of "The Black Book", but was sensing and groping for something.

Suddenly, a strand of true energy in his dantian was absorbed by him and poured into his eyes.

In an instant, he felt a stabbing pain in his eyes, and tears flowed out continuously due to the stimulation.

But after just a few breaths, the stinging pain disappeared.

The hidden veins of the Three Enclosures and Twenty-Eight Mansions, which were originally as imperceptible as underground rivers, have become clear.

The first step is to determine the sea of ​​disaster!
If it is the original "Black Book", if one directly practices the Three Enclosures and Twenty-Eight Mansions, then the location of the Tribulation Sea will be random, and the magical powers obtained will also be determined by heaven.

The Tribulation Sea is of utmost importance in practicing the "Black Sky Book", so Fang Xun certainly cannot really let the Tribulation Sea be random.

During the past half month, while he was repairing the "Black Book", he had also been thinking about where to set the Tribulation Sea.

If it is fixed on his feet, it would be possible for him to travel thousands of miles in a day.

If it is in the hand, there is a 99% chance that it is the powerful Qianjun'ao, and there is a 0.1% chance that it is the Tianjie Hand.

There are seven other possibilities: ears, nose, eyes, and tongue.

In the end, Fang Xun chose his eyes and awakened the Taixu Eyes.

The Taixu Eye, which is in the eyes of Jie Hai, is said to be able to see through all kinds of changes, all things in the void, and even sense other people's moods. It can also make people confused and erase their memories or even turn them into fools.

This magical power is similar to Gu Shentong's "The Emperor's Qi-gazing Technique" and has great potential. Fang Xun is confident that in his hands, it will definitely surpass "The Emperor's Qi-gazing Technique" in the future.

As the hidden veins appeared clearly in his perception, Fang Xun took advantage of this great opportunity to circulate his Dantian, and the true energy continuously poured into his eyes.

He first opened up the sea of ​​calamity in his eyes, using the eyes as the center, as the second sea of ​​qi in the body to control the hidden meridians throughout the body, and everything that followed was a natural progression.

Fang Xun didn't even try to control the circulation of his true Qi. The vast true Qi in his body immediately began to rush into the sea of ​​calamity.

It is then transformed into calamity force and flows into the hidden veins of the Three Enclosures and Twenty-Eight Mansions.

It is like a boundless ocean suddenly connected to a dry river network, and sea water will automatically flow back into all the rivers.

He felt that after the calamity force was generated, the hidden meridians in his body began to operate autonomously like the stars in the sky. He did not need to actively practice and would continue to grow stronger endlessly.

The thirty-one hidden meridians in the body are also being opened up bit by bit, and will eventually be automatically connected.

But it is like a drop of water wearing away a stone. Although the whole process is gentle so that there is no risk of damage to the hidden veins, it is extremely slow.

Of course, if Fang Xun takes the initiative to move the objects, the speed will be greatly increased.

But he estimated that even if he practiced diligently every day, it would probably take more than half a year to master the Three Enclosures and Twenty-Eight Mansions.

This was because the purity of his true Qi far exceeded that of those at the same level. Bai Wufeng reported to him the progress of his own cultivation every day.

Fang Xun once calculated that it would take at least two years for the other party to succeed.

"It only takes half a year to master the Three Enclosures and Twenty-Eight Mansions. Compared to most of the warriors in the world who have reached the Awakening Stage, this is already like riding a rocket. However, I can be even faster!"

Thinking of this, Fang Xun immediately said to himself.

"Absorb the essence of Zhu Wushi, Ning Bukong, Wuyazi, Yuan Suiyun, Bai Xiaolou, Xie Xiaofeng, Ah Qing, Yaoyue, Yueshan, Xu Kaishan, Sweeping Monk, Su Mengzhen, and Qu Ao!"

In an instant, a current of heat emerged out of nowhere in the body, continuously replenishing Fang Xun's essence, energy and spirit.

The amount of essence absorbed this time was extremely exaggerated, a total of thirteen martial arts characters.

He had never absorbed so much essence at once, but the feeling was the same as before.

No matter how much essence I absorbed, I didn't feel like I was about to explode. Everything seemed to happen naturally.

Fang Xun felt that the calamity power in his body was growing wildly as if it had been injected with chicken blood. The Three Enclosures and Twenty-Eight Mansions were being rapidly expanded, but the whole process was not intense and was still extremely gentle.

It's like changing the means of transportation directly from a bicycle to a rocket.

The boundless Qi and Tribulation Force in the body also circulate along a specific path.
In Xianmai Dantian, the true qi that was originally a fusion of yin and yang is now separated into yin and yang again.

The Yang Qi remains in the Dantian and the visible meridians and continues to grow endlessly, while the Yin Qi is divided into the sea of ​​calamity.

One visible and one invisible, one yin and one yang, clearly separated, yet complementary to each other. The meridians in Fang Xun's body formed a mysterious yin and yang cycle, growing madly.

In the room, he showed no joy or sadness, and his energy was harmonious.

The earth-shaking changes in the body did not cause any noise to alarm anyone nearby. Everything was like a natural process and he would not stop until his practice was complete.

Time passed bit by bit, the bright moon gradually hung above the branches, and then it was the same cycle again, the sun and the moon rose and set again and again.

It was not until late at night on the third day that Fang Xun, who was sitting cross-legged in meditation, finally opened his eyes. His eyes were empty, yet there seemed to be a hint of yin and yang Tai Chi.
