Sword from Songshan

Chapter 98: The Secret of Songyang Nine Yang Kung

“Ren Mai!”

It starts from the uterus in the lower abdomen, goes down to the perineum, passes through the **, goes straight up along the midline of the abdomen, passes through the Guanyuan, Shimen, Qihai and other acupoints, reaches the Tiantu point in the throat, then goes up to the inside of the lower lip, surrounds the lips, passes the Yinjiao point, passes the sides of the nose, and reaches the Chengqi point under the eye socket.

After the Du meridian, the second meridian to be opened is the Ren meridian.

After finding out, Lu Nanxing's face was filled with joy.

In martial arts novels and TV dramas, if it is mentioned that "opening the Ren and Du meridians" is done, it often means a complete transformation and a surge in strength. Although it is a bit of an artistic exaggeration, compared to the other six extraordinary meridians, the Ren and Du meridians are indeed the most important!
If the Du meridian governs the body's yang energy, the Ren meridian governs the body's yin meridians, known as the sea of ​​yin meridians.

The Du Meridian governs Qi and is Yang, while the Ren Meridian governs blood and is Yin.

By opening the Ren and Du meridians, Qi and blood can be balanced, and yin and yang can be coordinated, thus curing disease, prolonging life, and strengthening the body. It is not unreasonable to compare it to a complete transformation.

In short, opening up the Ren meridian first will be of greatest benefit to Lu Nanxing!
As for the specific benefits, he still needs to explore them slowly.

"really!"

In fact, he has an advantage right now.

The energy gathered by the toxins did not flow back to the small wooden tripod immediately after opening up the meridians, but instead ran through the meridians according to a special pattern.

By simulating this regular luck, special mental methods can be derived.

The transformation of true Qi into Gang is a simulation of the flow of energy through the Du Meridian.

Looking inward, the energy in the Ren Meridian was indeed running at a unique rhythm.

"Try it!"

Of course, it is still uncertain whether the energy of other extraordinary meridians, except the Du meridian, can be used to generate mental skills.

Lu Nanxing was too lazy to guess, so he just sat cross-legged, held his breath, and practiced his skills following the flow of energy in his Ren meridian.

The valley is isolated from the outside world, with no other creatures except some birds and monkeys.

Lu Nanxing didn't have to worry about being disturbed and could practice with peace of mind.

He was so absorbed in his concentration that he forgot the passage of time. When he opened his eyes again, the sky was full of stars.

"It's done."

After exhaling a breath of foul air, Lu Nanxing smiled slightly.

The guess was correct. Just like the Du Meridian, by following the flow of energy in the Ren Meridian and practicing Qigong, I indeed gained a set of internal energy techniques.

The Ren Meridian is a Yin Meridian and is not as explosive as the Du Meridian's Heart Method.

Lu Nanxing had a serious expression on his face and tried to use his mental skills. Without any warning, his Danzhong point suddenly shifted one inch to the left.

Move the acupoint!

The additional mental method to open up the Ren meridian is to move the acupoints.

As a major acupoint in the human body, the slightest carelessness at the Danzhong point can cause great harm to the body, let alone moving its position.

The mystery of the Ren Meridian Heart Method can be described as miraculous.

Compared with the Du Meridian's Qi transformation into Gang, which can both defend and greatly enhance attack, the acupoint movement is magical but does not seem to be practical.

This is not the case.

The first thing is acupoint pressing. No matter whether Lu Nanxing is being pressed or has already been pressed, Lu Nanxing can prevent or resolve the problem by moving the acupoints.

Furthermore, if any Kung Fu wants to cause great harm, in addition to attacking a few vital points on the human body, it is often aimed at various major acupoints, such as the unique skill of Dali Duan family, One Yang Finger.

By moving the acupoints, Lu Nanxing can avoid this kind of damage.

The power of this technique can be seen from the fact that it can restrain the One Finger Zen.

Not only the One Yang Finger, with this method of moving acupoints, any martial arts in the world that target acupoints will be useless to Lu Nanxing.

In this way, I am afraid that one or two percent of the martial arts in this world will be useless to him. The effect is terrifying!
"The Ren Meridian is truly the sea of ​​Yin Meridians."

After trying to verify it, Lu Nanxing couldn't help but marvel at it, it was indeed a mental method derived from the Ren Meridian.

People who practice martial arts know the importance of acupoints. Most people identify the acupoints before practicing martial arts. Countless people think of practicing acupoint movement skills, but those who can do it are usually only some peerless martial arts.

For example, Zhang Wuji's Great Shift of the Universe.

Of course, as a peerless magical skill, the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth has many uses beyond just moving acupoints.

Lu Nanxing obtained the fragments of the Nine Yang Divine Art, and now he has mastered the acupoint shifting ability, which makes him somewhat similar to Master Zhang.

It was already late, and after a busy day, Lu Nanxing felt a little sleepy.

Having already mastered the Ren Meridian Method, he decided not to think about anything else for the moment and simply lay down on the ground. In this isolated valley, he did not need to be on guard and fell into a deep sleep immediately.

Since entering the martial arts world, Lu Nanxing had not slept so peacefully for a long time. He did not get up until noon the next day.

I went to the pond to wash my face, caught two white fish, roasted them over a fire, and picked some unfamiliar wild fruits in the valley, and that was all I had for breakfast.

Lu Nanxing smiled again. He also wanted to experience the life that Zhang Wuji had lived in the valley back then.

After eating and drinking, Lu Nanxing did not leave, but took out the copied fragments of the Nine Yang Manual.

Although it is incomplete, as a peerless magical skill, every word and sentence contains the ultimate principles of martial arts and its value is immeasurable.

When copying it yesterday, Lu Nanxing already felt that it was extremely profound, but he did not have time to think about it carefully at that time.

At this time, I was full of energy and couldn't wait to leave the valley to continue reading.

Spreading out the sweatshirt covered with handwriting, Lu Nanxing sat aside and read it word by word. The more he thought about it, the more profound it seemed.

Often a random sentence or a few words could clear up many of his previous doubts and provide him with great inspiration.

I couldn't help but sigh again, Nine Yang is indeed worthy of being a peerless magical skill.

I was greatly encouraged. The more I watched, the happier I felt. Before I knew it, another day had passed.

It was not until late at night that I reluctantly put it away and fell asleep.

The next morning, I ate only two wild fruits and began to read again eagerly.

If you have some understanding, you can't help but try to verify it through practice.

In such a deep valley, Lu Nanxing concentrated on studying the Nine Yang Fragments without distraction, and seven or eight days passed in a flash.

"That's it!"

At noon, Lu Nanxing suddenly let out a long roar, with a gleam in his eyes.

Over the past few days, he had gained more insights from the Nine Yang Fragments and tried to integrate them into his own internal skills. After seven or eight days of hard work, he finally succeeded.

The previous Twelve Circulation Exercise was based on the twelve main meridians. Because it involved all the meridians, the breath was long-lasting and the speed of cultivation was much faster than ordinary internal energy techniques.

Moreover, it circulates continuously, and each move is supported by internal strength.

Compared with the Songyang Heart Method, the Twelve Circulation Exercises has been upgraded to a higher level, somewhere between exquisite and superior.

This internal skill is comparable to the best and is sufficient for first-rate masters.

But as Lu Nanxing created the Juque Sword Technique and the Golden Snake Sword Technique, which were superior sword techniques second only to the unique skills, he felt that his internal strength could not keep up.

It's like a car. All aspects of the configuration are top-notch, except that the engine is a three-cylinder one, which doesn't seem to match well.

But it is not easy to improve an internal skill. It was not until now that Lu Nanxing obtained the Nine Yang Fragments and gained a lot from it that he finally found a way.

The Nine Yang Divine Art was written by the Drunken Monk after he read the Nine Yin Scriptures. He felt that the Nine Yin Scriptures blindly advocated Huang Laoism and was too yin-filled, and it would be better to harmonize yin and yang. So he combined it with martial arts and Zen Buddhism to write it down.

So although it is called Nine Yang, it is not simply about being extremely masculine and fierce, but it focuses on the harmony of yin and yang!

The fragments Lu Nanxing obtained had more and more content as the text went on. The first three volumes explained the Nine Yang, while the fourth volume focused on the method of harmonizing Yin and Yang.

Through these methods, Lu Nanxing gained the means to improve his Twelve Circulation Qigong.

It no longer simply follows the twelve meridians, but focuses on the harmony and mutual assistance of yin and yang.

The twelve main meridians are actually six yin and six yang, which correspond exactly to each other, without bias or excess.

Of course, everyone knows the benefits of the yin and yang balancing each other, but it is extremely difficult to achieve.

If Lu Nanxing only started from the Twelve Meridians, even if he had the fragments of the Nine Yang Divine Art as a reference, he would not be able to create new internal skills in a short period of time.

But at this moment, he was different from ordinary people.

Light up the snake and centipede images on the small wooden tripod, and open up the Du and Ren meridians one after another. The Du meridian governs yang, and the Yin meridian governs yin. Lu Nanxing doesn't need to worry about it, these two extraordinary meridians can help regulate the blood, qi, yin and yang of the whole body!
No wonder everyone wants to open the Ren and Du meridians. This alone is attractive enough.

The Du meridian leads to the hand yangming large intestine meridian, the foot yangming stomach meridian, the hand taiyang small intestine meridian, the foot taiyang bladder meridian, the hand shaoyang triple burner meridian, and the foot shaoyang gallbladder meridian. The Ren meridian leads to the hand taiyin lung meridian, the foot taiyin spleen meridian, the hand shaoyin heart meridian, the foot shaoyin kidney meridian, the hand jueyin pericardium meridian, and the foot jueyin liver meridian.

In this way, the twelve routes are reduced to two.

It is extremely difficult to coordinate the yin and yang correspondence of the twelve main meridians, but now we only need to coordinate the Ren and Du meridians, which is a thousand times simpler.

"I really didn't expect that."

After achieving success, Lu Nanxing was filled with emotion again.

When Monk Jueyuan passed away, he orally recited the Nine Yang Manual, and only Zhang Junbao, Guo Xiang, and Master Wu Se were by his side.

The three people have different talents and martial arts attainments, so their understandings are different.

Wu Se explained that he had the highest martial arts skills, so he got a very high level. Guo Xiang came from a family with a profound knowledge, so she got a broad knowledge. Zhang Junbao was very talented, but he had basically never learned any martial arts, but he got a pure martial arts.

Based on their own insights, the three of them eventually created the Nine Yang Gong of Shaolin, Emei and Wudang schools.

Now Lu Nanxing has comprehended the method of yin and yang coordination from the fragments, and created a new internal energy method based on the Twelve Circulation Exercises of Songyang Heart Method, which can be said to be a brilliant idea!
In this way, two hundred years later, Lu Nanxing actually created the fourth school of Nine Yang Gong.

"Songyang Nine Yang Kung."

Although the way of practicing Qigong has changed a lot in the twelve circulations before the intersection, it is after all continuously built on the basis of the Songshan School's mental method, and still has the shadow of the Songshan School's mental method.

Lu Nanxing thought about it and simply named it Songyang Nine Yang Gong.

If we follow the rule of naming the sects used by Zhang Sanfeng and others, Songshan Nine Yang Gong is actually more appropriate.

But there is not only one Songshan School on Mount Songshan. Shaolin Temple is even more of a giant in the martial arts world. If it is named Songshan Nine Yang Gong, people will inevitably have misunderstandings about whether it is related to Shaolin Temple. It seems more like a branch of Shaolin Nine Yang Gong.

So, Lu Nanxing named it Songyang Nine Yang Gong, and placed it on par with the Three Schools Nine Yang Gong.

"Even if it's a branch, it's already the top of the superior internal skills."

As a branch, Songyang Nine Yang Gong possesses some characteristics of Nine Yang Divine Art.

The first is endless life!

In normal internal skills, one must actively circulate qi and practice the skills so that internal strength can be generated and accumulated.

There are only twelve hours in a day, so how can one practice internal strength all the time? Therefore, even if a martial arts master is in his sixties or seventies, it is already good enough to have twenty to thirty years of internal strength.

This is also why some people have to go into seclusion from time to time. In addition to studying new martial arts, they are more focused on accumulating internal strength and improving their skills.

But the Songyang Nine Yang Gong created by Lu Nanxing is different. It is led by the Ren and Du meridians, with yin and yang complementing each other. Even if you don't actively practice the power, it can run on its own, thus accumulating internal strength all the time!
There may not be anything special in a short period of time, but after a few years, with the accumulation of time and effort, the difference in skills will be like heaven and earth!
This is also why, after Zhang Wuji practiced in the valley for five years, his internal strength had reached its peak after he came out of the valley.

In addition to the extremely yang attribute of the Nine Yang Divine Art, it is precisely due to this wonderful characteristic.

For example, ordinary internal energy techniques are manually operated, while Songyang Nine Yang Gong is fully automatic!
In this way, not only will his training speed improve by leaps and bounds, but Lu Nanxing can also free up time to practice other martial arts.

Secondly, the more you use it, the stronger it becomes!
This inner strength is like a spring, with infinite potential. The more you use it, the more it will be stimulated. When fighting with others, you may not feel anything at first, but the longer it lasts, the stronger it will become!
As the saying goes, he is cruel and evil by himself, but I have enough energy.

To put it bluntly, if you fight with Lu Nanxing, the longer it lasts, the stronger Lu Nanxing will be!

"In that case."

If you understand one method, you will understand all methods. After you have realized the harmony of yin and yang in internal skills, you can naturally apply it to external skills.

This is also why you practice martial arts before practicing boxing.

Lu Nanxing rested for a while, then stood up and practiced the Great Songyang Divine Palm.

This palm technique is originally of Yang nature, but when practiced to the extreme, it can transform Yang into Yin, thus being able to develop many unique palm powers.

Before this, Lu Nanxing had never figured out what kind of palm power he should practice.

Furthermore, he had only been practicing this palm technique for a short time and was far from being able to develop any extraordinary palm power.

But now it is different. The yin and yang coordination of Songyang Nine Yang Gong is the basis, which is just right for application to this palm technique.

Bang~!

As Lu Nanxing practiced, palm power began to emerge between each move, first of all yang, the palm techniques were strong and fiery.

Buzz~!

Then it is transformed into Yin attribute, and the palm technique becomes soft, flexible and deft.

One hand is yang and the other hand is yin. If this is the case, then you have reached the level of happiness.

Le Hou is known for his Big Yin-Yang Hands, which means that his palms can respectively exert two kinds of yin and yang power, which are sometimes high, sometimes low, sometimes hot, and sometimes cold, making it difficult for the opponent to resist.

This was already extremely powerful, but Lu Nanxing did not stop but continued practicing.

Originally one hand was yang and the other hand was yin, and they gradually gathered into one palm. If it were an ordinary person, he would naturally not be able to take into account both yin and yang in one palm force, but it was different for Lu Nanxing who had the Songyang Nine Yang Gong.

As he practiced, the yin and yang forces gathered in one palm began to merge and eventually became one.

Hurrah~!

At this moment, Lu Nanxing's palm power, a blend of yin and yang, was like Tai Chi!
Tai Chi is an integrated whole, like a seal or closed. No matter fists, feet, swords or knives, they cannot defeat the power of Tai Chi palm.

At this moment, Lu Nanxing's pair of bare hands could bear a heavy weight!

“Not bad.”

After stopping, Lu Nanxing nodded slightly.

Although the palm power is not enough for attack now, it is more than enough for defense!

If it is an attack, Juque and Golden Snake are enough, freeing up the left hand to circulate Tai Chi palm power, just in case of emergency.

At this point, the sword and the palm, both offense and defense, are perfect!
In terms of external skills, Lu Nanxing is gradually approaching perfection. Next, as long as his internal skills are improved, he will naturally be able to enter the second-class level.

And with the characteristics of Songyang Nine Yang Gong, his internal strength will be improved within two years.

"almost."

The scripture is already in hand. Although it is incomplete, Lu Nanxing has benefited a lot from it.

Now that my martial arts skills have greatly improved and I have almost finished paying homage to the ancient sages, it is time to leave the valley and go back.
