Under One Person: The River Map and Luoshu

late at night.

Midnight watch.

Inside the house, Du Heng woke up from his meditation and was practicing the nameless technique he had obtained from Ziyang Mountain Master. After all, he had obtained it with great difficulty, so he couldn't just let it grow dust in his mind, right? That would be a waste of talent.

And the effect?

Obviously, the soul and the body felt warm, as if soaking in a hot spring, and one could feel that the life force was increasing at a speed as fast as water accumulating to form an abyss.

"Calculate the time. It's almost time to get down to business!"

He immediately stood up and walked out of the house, looked up at the night view, which was still the same as before, and then walked towards the old Taoist's residence.

Nowadays.

Together with Zhang Chulan, he tried to counsel Zhang Lingyu, but it took some effort to get him to recover. Finally, he came up with a plan for him. As long as he used it during the exit ceremony, it would surely blow up the whole place and make Xia He's heart tremble and she would cry.

After finishing the work, she met Catherine. After discussing important matters with the old Taoist priest, this big foreign horse kept nagging about wanting to visit the Taoist temple, so she had no choice but to "take" her for a walk.

After wandering around, I arrived at the old Taoist's residence. I saw that the light was still on in the room and the door was ajar.

"Hey, that's really it!"

He smiled silently, and without stopping, he tiptoed over.

He arched his butt, half-pushed the door open, and poked a head in. The eyes were slightly blinking, shining with light. He saw the old Taoist sitting cross-legged on the bed, staring straight at him.

"Why are you not sleeping in the middle of the night and coming to me? What's going on?"

Du Heng was startled. "Hey, this isn't right. Didn't you ask me to come here, Master?"

"When did I call you?" the old Taoist asked.

what!
Isn't this just pretending to be ignorant when you know the truth?

But how could he dare say this, because the person in front of him was a big boss, his biggest backer, so he could only pretend to be pitiful and remind him.

"Master, in the martial arts arena, when Chu Lan and I were fighting, you only hit me on the head three times, and even said that I was more noisy than Sun Wukong. You were using the story of Sun Wukong becoming a disciple of Bodhi Patriarch in Journey to the West to seduce me. If I don't understand, you might kick me off the mountain tomorrow."

"Haha, tomorrow is a little early, let's do it later!"

"Oh no, I want to stay with you and Master Jinzhong in the mountains for a few more days."

"With us?"

The old Taoist pointed at himself, as if he had heard a joke, and nodded at him unhappily.

"Tell me, have you come to visit me since the Luotian Grand Ceremony? I haven't even received many phone calls. I asked Lingyu to remind you. You are just like the big-eared thief, cold and heartless."

Hear the words.

Du Heng reacted immediately and realized that it was referring to the time when Bihe Ren was wiped out in the Northeast. Zhang Lingyu tipped him off and said that he was helping Quan Xing find Zhiwan.

But facing the old master's reproach, he was not afraid but happy. This shows that the old master did not have a good impression of the alien forces in the island country, so it was natural for him to take things away later.

Cough!

Stay calm first, don't panic, and deal with the current situation first.

He immediately made excuses and explained, "Master, I've been busy all the time. I'll come and accompany you two as soon as I have time."

"I think you don't come here for no reason!"

"Hehe, no way! I came to visit you two for real, and the other things were just incidental."

"You little rascal, why don't you come here?" The old Taoist scolded with a smile.

"Okay!" Du Heng walked over happily.

After he sat down, the old Taoist priest asked, "Tell me, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"Yes, I want to ask for your advice!" Du Heng said with a sly smile.

"Haha, you're still arguing with me, just say it directly."

"Uh-huh!"

Du Heng nodded obediently, then cleared his throat, organized his words, and said, "Didn't I mention earlier this day that a group of foreign alien organizations had infiltrated our country? The place they went to was the Twenty-Four Section Valley deep in the Qinling Mountains."

As he spoke, his voice gradually became lower, secretly observing the changes in the old master's expression, but the latter remained calm. The old master stared at him with a pair of bright and restrained eyes, and said lightly: "The place where the fairyland is rumored in the circle?"

"Yes."

"So, you want to ask about the secret of Jiashen Rebellion and the Eight Wonderful Skills?" The old Taoist's eyes narrowed slightly, and his expression gradually became serious.

Du Heng waved his hands quickly, "Master, you don't know me yet. I hate trouble. As for the Jiashen Rebellion, I always try to understand it if I encounter it. If I don't, forget it. I just let it go."

The old Taoist priest believed what he said. His disciple was a bit romantic, lazy and easy-going. He would not be as obsessed with secrets such as the Jiashen Rebellion and the Eight Unusual Skills as Chu Lan.

Just like when his junior fellow apprentice was attacked, even though he knew that those people came secretly for Jiashen, his own disciple did not say a word and did not ask any questions, which made him and his junior fellow apprentice look at him with admiration.

"Keep talking!"

"Well, I learned a lot in the Twenty-Four Sections Valley..."

Du Heng rattled off a lot of information, not even hiding the last bit, revealing it all one by one. While he was talking, his eyes never left the old Taoist priest, trying to see something to verify his guess.

".The biggest gain this time was an unnamed technique from Ziyang Mountain Man. I guess it is related to the real enlightenment chapter recorded on the stone wall at the end, or even the Eight Wonders. But I am short-sighted after all, so I brought it to you, Master, for your judgment."

Then Du Heng took out a piece of paper from his pocket. It was not the one with the previous records, but a piece of paper that had been sorted out. It drew out the Qi routes, the human body's meridians, and the three elixirs. It was much clearer than the previous version.

The old Taoist priest took it, glanced at it, and understood the general idea.

"Being moderate and peaceful, and taking care of your life, this is a good way to practice!"

"Really?" Du Heng opened his eyes wide in surprise.

After all, since it could be "stamped" by the old Taoist priest himself, this nameless skill must be extraordinary. His eyes were fixed on its true origin.

How could the old Taoist not understand what he meant? He said leisurely, "This senior, Ziyangshanren, has come a long way in the journey of life and death. He advocates the use of inner alchemy as a way to cultivate immortality and attain enlightenment. He believes that the human body is the cauldron, the essence and energy in the human body and mind are the medicine, and the spirit is the fire. Through inner cultivation, the essence and energy are condensed and do not disperse, forming a golden elixir. This method of cultivation is based on this concept.

As for whether it is related to the Wuzhen Pian? There is no way to verify it. But you are right about one thing. The Wuzhen Pian that is currently circulating in the alien world is indeed not the real Wuzhen Pian. It is said that the real Wuzhen Pian contains the Taoist scriptures that he has realized. "

The words stopped abruptly.

Du Heng stared eagerly, hoping that his master would say more, but he only said a few words and refused to reveal even the slightest secret of the Eight Great Skills.

But it was not without gain. Just as guessed in the Twenty-Four Sections Valley, no matter whether the old Taoist priest recognized the nameless technique after seeing it or not, and whether he said it or not, he could judge whether it was related to the Wuzhen Pian and the Eight Wonders.

Answer: Yes!

But what is the relationship?
You can only find the answer yourself, the master will definitely not tell you.

The old Taoist priest ignored his eager eyes and said, "Okay, I've said everything I need to say. If you have nothing else to say, go back to sleep. You're just torturing my old bones in the middle of the night."

"No, Master, I haven't finished my work yet." Du Heng didn't want to be kicked out, so he nailed his butt to the bed.

"Oh? This is what you said was a by-product?" the old Taoist asked meaningfully.

"Hehe!" Du Heng smiled sullenly.

The old Taoist priest shook his head slightly and said, "Go ahead!"

Du Heng rubbed his hands and pretended to be pitiful. "Recently, my disciple has been encountering some powerful enemies who specialize in controlling people's souls. He has been disturbed and miserable, so I would like to ask Master to teach me the Calming Mantra, one of the eight magic spells in our Tianshi Mansion. It is the trick you used on Master Lu."

Hearing this, the old Taoist priest laughed jokingly, "Haha, I remember that you didn't say that during the day. You said you had the ability to protect yourself, so why would you care about the magic tools and talismans here?"

"Ahem. No matter how good your kung fu is, you still have to be afraid of a kitchen knife. Master, you have to support me. Recently, the company has made some moves. It is said that the remnants of the Bihe Ninja in the island country are teaming up with other alien forces and want to invade again to cause trouble. My disciple must be at the forefront.

The old Taoist priest scolded him with a smile, "You slippery boy, you are so confident that you are using morality to force me, right?"

Du Heng was embarrassed to be exposed, but he refused to admit it. He said, "That's not true. Master, think about it. Those aliens from the island country are so treacherous. You have experienced it in the past. As the saying goes, it is easy to dodge an open spear but difficult to guard against an arrow from the dark. I, your disciple, must find something to protect myself."

"Okay, okay, stop complaining. I know a thing or two about you." The old Taoist priest waved his hand, too lazy to listen any more.

Judging from the situation, if he is not given, he will definitely stay here and not leave, and may even use the unique skills of the Tianshi Mansion.

"You are also a disciple of the Heavenly Master's Mansion. You have also learned the Golden Light Mantra, and your attainments are not low. Last time, I wanted to teach you the Thunder Method, but you have mastered a lot of unique skills, so teaching you would be harmful to you. However, teaching you the Purifying Heart Mantra will not be affected."

Du Heng was a little surprised. He didn't expect that his master would have such an idea. Of course, he had no interest in thunder magic. After all, he also knew lightning magic, which was not inferior to thunder magic at all.

"Master, thank goodness you didn't teach me, otherwise I would have been struggling for a while. If I learn, I'll bite off more than I can chew; if I don't learn, I'll feel like I'm missing out."

"Okay, as long as you understand this principle, let's get started so you don't have to worry about it!"
