Xuanyuan Jue

Chapter 14: The Wall Has Ears (3)
"Mr. Feng, I advise you not to force it!" The masked man looked at Feng Shen and snorted coldly, "Your ability to sharpen your acupoints is not yet ready, and you can take care of an ordinary martial artist based on the connection between Ren and Du. It’s okay, but I’m afraid I won’t be able to get any advantage if I fight against a master!”

Hearing this, Feng Shen froze on the spot.Although the masked man said he didn't know the origin, what he said was actually true.

For those martial arts routines, Feng Shen did not specifically practice and study them.When Feng Shen was young, he was weak and often sick. Feng's father was good at medicine, stone and fire, and often used acupuncture to treat his chronic diseases.Over time, Feng Shen's two veins of Ren and Du were unintentionally connected.

The second meridian of Ren Du originally belonged to the eight extraordinary meridians.Ren vessel governs blood, Du vessel governs qi.The Ren Meridian runs through the front of the body, starting from the Huiyin Point between the thighs and ending at the Chengjiang Point under the lips, which is the sea of ​​Yin Meridians; while the Du Meridian starts from Changqiang, goes up along the spine of the back, crosses the top of the skull, and passes through Binoculars, around to the point of gingival junction on the upper jaw, is the sea of ​​yang veins.Ren Du and Du Meridian, one Yin and one Yang, combining hardness and softness, full of Qi and blood, overflowing and circulating.If Ren Du is connected, the eight channels are connected; if the eight channels are connected, all the channels in the whole body are connected.

However, the person who opened up the two veins of Ren and Du is not as exaggerated as the rumors.It's just that his eyesight is superior to that of ordinary people, and his reaction is several times quicker.So although Feng Shen didn't practice martial arts much, he could easily dodge that Qing Mei's sword strike.In addition, he learned medicine and recognized acupoints from his father since he was a child, so he was able to injure it.

The way to practice martial arts is to pay attention to both internal and external cultivation.The external power is like fire, opening and closing, while the internal power is like water, endless.If you can blend the inside and the outside, and the water and fire can help each other, then it can be called advanced martial arts.If it deviates from one end, it will cover the door everywhere.What's more, Feng Shen has a rough knowledge of martial arts, so how can he compete with real masters?

Feng Shen speculated secretly: "Although that Qing Mei claims to be a master of the 'sticky pole', her skills are not that good. But right now, this person's skills are so different from hers that they are like nothing!"

After being stunned for a long time, Feng Shen sighed: "Unexpectedly... Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon at the 'sticky pole'... I really underestimated you..."

"'Stick stick'?" The masked man snorted coldly, and said disdainfully, "That abandoned court eagle dog...is not worthy to be compared with me!"

Feng Shen was shocked: "You...you are not with them?!"

"Okay!" The masked man flicked his narrow sleeves, noncommittal, "I will accept the things in the bamboo tube, and see you again in the future!"

"Wait!" Hearing that the masked man was about to leave, Feng Shen was so anxious that his head was sweating, he tried his best to stop him.

"Overestimate your own strength!" The masked man glanced at it, then picked up two stones from the ground.One was thrown towards Feng Shen, while the other was thrown in the opposite direction.

"Crack!" The first stone hit Feng Shen's right knee without deflecting or slanting.Feng Shen paused and fell to the ground immediately.

When Feng Shen gritted his teeth and looked again, the masked man had already disappeared without a trace.And in the depths of the alley, another man in black stared straight at the headless mynah under his feet, trembling with fright.

The masked man was obviously showing mercy to Feng Shen. Although Feng Shen vomited blood, there was nothing serious other than the soreness all over his body.Feng Shen lay on the ground panting for a while, then supported the wall, slowly straightened up, and limped back home.

After arriving home, Feng Shen didn't dare to disturb the others, but just found some Chinese medicine wine and rubbed it on himself.After resting for a while, Feng Shen felt less pain in his body, and then walked along the courtyard corridor to the backyard.

Feng Shen looked around, and seeing no one noticed, he walked into a room.The room is not big, and it was originally the place where Feng's mother chanted scriptures during her lifetime.There is a table near the north wall, a Buddhist niche is placed on each table, and some incense candles, wooden fish and other objects are scattered around it.A large straw woven futon was left on the ground, and because no one came for a long time, the futon was covered with thick floating ash.

Feng Shen walked around the futon, came to the altar, stretched out his hands, and grabbed the copper Buddha statue in the altar.With a little more strength in his hand, the copper Buddha statue began to twist slowly.When the Buddha statue turned to the back, there was a sudden "pop" on the ground in the room, as if some mechanism had been activated.

After hearing the slight noise, Feng Shen did not panic. He left the altar and bent down, carefully moving the futon aside.At this time, a small iron ring suddenly protruded from the blue brick floor under the futon.Feng Shen hooked his finger on the iron ring, pulled it hard, and a dark entrance appeared in front of him.

The entrance is not big, straight up and down, only allowing one person to enter and exit.There are iron rods embedded one after another on the wall of the passage for people to climb.

Feng Shen lowered his body to the entrance, stepping on those iron rods, using both hands and feet, and slowly descended.After descending about five or six feet, Feng Shen reached the bottom of the tunnel.

On the wall of the pit on the bottom floor, a narrow door was chiseled.As soon as his feet were on the ground, Feng Shen stooped and got into the narrow door.In the narrow gate, there is also a passage.When he first entered, he looked very small, but after walking a few steps, the space in the passage became wider and wider, and finally, a large underground hall appeared in front of Feng Shen.

Feng Shen took out a torch from his pocket, pulled out the cover and blew it lightly, a faint blue flame ignited.With the help of the weak flame, Feng Shen opened several air holes on the earth wall.After a little cool breeze poured in, the airflow in the basement hall began to flow smoothly, not as stuffy as before.

Feng Shen held up the torch and lit the candles in the underground hall.After the candles were lit, the furnishings in the hall slowly emerged from the darkness.

The underground hall is very empty, there is no extra setting.There is a large altar in the hall, which is filled with tablets of various sizes, all of which are descendants of the Feng family.Behind the altar table hangs a fine-grained portrait. The portrait is old and simple, the color is almost faded, and there are some faint yellow spots on the core and mounting page. One can tell that it is not young at a glance.The painting depicts a monk wearing a Baina cassock, sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed under the Bodhi tree.There is a line of inscriptions and postscripts on the corner of the painting, with words such as "Jiu Ling's first teacher enters Ding Tu" and "Disciple Hui Cun respectfully draws".

Feng Shen first took three sticks of incense, lit them on the candles, bowed respectfully to the portrait and those tablets a few times, and put them in the incense burner in front of the altar.

Afterwards, Feng Shen took three more sticks of incense alone, and made offerings in front of the first two of the memorial tablets.

On the tablet, there are "Xiankao Feng Gong's taboo God Lord" and "Xian Concubine Feng Wang's Child God Lord" respectively. These two tablets are dedicated to Feng Shen's late parents.

"Father, mother..." Feng Shen stared blankly at the memorial tablet, his voice choked up, "Wu Xiaoer... came to see you..."

The sound floated in the empty underground hall, slowly echoing and lasting for a long time.

Feng Shen wiped his face, and continued: "I don't know where the rumors are coming from. Recently, people looking for "Xuanyuan Jue" have come one after another... In order to protect himself, Wu Xiaoer set up a trap... Originally planned to use the hidden The fake one in Yuelai Inn lured out the coveter in the dark...unexpectedly, he attracted a master...unscrupulous child has no skills...not that person's opponent at all...more than that...even the person's I don't know the details... But it's okay... What that person took away is fake... Father and mother, don't worry, the real "Xuanyuan Jue", even if I try my best, I will hide it well, never Let it fall into the wrong hands!"

After finishing speaking, Feng Shen looked resolute, knelt down in front of the memorial tablet and kowtowed three times.After getting up, he flicked his robe, tidied up around, and exited the underground hall along the path he came from.
