Poor Taoist Qiu Chuji

Chapter 59 Teaching and Learning

Heavy snow presses down on the green pines, the fog is like clouds, the clouds are like the sea, in the sea there are fairies dancing with swords, the swords are flying like swimming dragons.

"Good!" Hao Datong clapped his hands hard, his cheeks flushed with excitement.

"What's so good about that! Do you understand?" Qiu Chuji slapped the guy on the back of his head.

Hao Datong immediately gave a slightly awkward smirk, then looked at the new 'number one in the world' beside him.

"Brother! Can you explain, explain?"

Qiu Chuji called Wang Chuyi and Liu Chuxuan over, then looked at Wang Chongyang who was practicing sword not far away and said, "Look carefully, Master is practicing dynamic exercises now. It seems that his body movements are swift and his sword is spinning like a dragon, but he is cultivating the five energies, gathering the three hues, practicing the nine changes, opening the three gates, beating the heavenly drum in his mouth, and stepping on the heaven and earth under his feet."

"This is not swordsmanship, but a very advanced Taoist inner alchemy technique."

Wang Chuyi asked: "Brother...what is the Nine Changes Technique?"

Liu Chuxuan: "Yes! Yes! And what is Mingtian Drum?"

Although they are also Taoist children, they did not receive very systematic teaching after entering the Taoist sect, and their understanding of some basic Taoist terminology is not comprehensive enough.

This is actually not surprising. Huang Yaoshi is a scholar, and Mei Chaofeng and Chen Xuanfeng are two simple-minded people who are not illiterate in Taoism. They misunderstood Taoist terminology and turned the good Destroying Claw into the Nine Yin Bone Claw.

The so-called master leads you in, and cultivation depends on the individual.

Qiu Chuji didn't know at first, but he became a disciple early and studied with Ma Yu for a period of time, so many basic terms were still very clear to him.

"Nine Changes refers to the method of protecting the essence, holding the breath and swallowing the saliva, and then changing the body. It is said that this is the way of longevity taught by the Queen Mother of the West. If you can keep doing it, you can change the breath in one year, change the blood in two years, change the essence in three years, change the veins in four years, change the bone marrow in five years, change the skin in six years, change the bones in seven years, change the hair in eight years, and change the body shape in nine years. After nine changes, you will have the foundation of the great way and can cultivate to become an immortal."

"Ah! Is it really possible?" Wang Chuyi looked expectant.

"How would I know? I've only been practicing for a short time. Besides, the human body is a big funnel. No matter how hard you try to protect the three treasures and the lead and mercury, your essence, energy and spirit are still leaking out all the time. You can't even get through the door. Not to mention nine years, I'm afraid ninety years won't be enough."

"So, if you want to enter the Nine Changes, you must first have an innate flawless body."

The three people who heard Qiu Chuji's explanation all showed disappointment.

Qiu Chuji did not say anything encouraging but continued to explain the Mingtian Drum.

“As for Ming Tian Gu, it is said to be a technique for summoning the gods. These gods are not in the sky, but in the internal organs, meridians, and acupoints. Tapping with the left teeth is Ming Tian Zhong, and tapping with the right teeth is Ming Tian Qing. Tapping up and down is Ming Tian Gu. When playing Ming Tian Gu, you must close your mouth and relax your cheeks to make the sound empty and deep, so that it can reach the internal organs, open the meridians, and vibrate the acupoints.”

"These are all methods of maintaining health, nourishing the essence, and protecting the spirit. They require long-term persistence and practice to see the effect."

Wang Chongyang stretched out his legs and arms, and flew onto the cliff like a bird. His feet stepped on the snow, but did not leave any trace.

"Your senior brother is right. The human body leaks essence, energy and spirit all the time. Even if you keep silent, close your eyes and live in seclusion, you can only reduce the consumption, but cannot eliminate it. If one day, you succeed in your practice and the three treasures you accumulate every day are more than what you leak out, then you have truly entered the door of the inner elixir."

"Although we are also people in the martial arts world, we also practice the Taoist methods of living a peaceful and safe life. We should avoid fighting with others if possible and not act rashly or impulsively." When Wang Chongyang said this, he was obviously looking at Qiu Chuji.

For a cultivator, engaging in physical warfare with others is like releasing water from a floodgate. The "Three Treasures" that have been accumulated with great difficulty will be lost in large quantities. This is definitely not the right way.

Of course, in a martial arts contest, where life and death are at stake, it also conforms to the method of stealing the secrets of heaven. If it is triggered, it is equivalent to increasing revenue, giving out a bucket and getting back a tank, which is also a profit.

It's just that most mediocre people have not really achieved the goal of "increasing income", so there are very few people in the martial arts world who are "still strong with age". Most of them suffer from blood loss and injuries as soon as they get older, and most of them don't even have 30% to 40% of the martial arts they had in their prime.

Qiu Chuji smiled awkwardly upon hearing this, then patted Hao Datong and Wang Chuyi on the back and said, "What are you still standing there for? Call me Master!"

"The Grand Master has given in, so hurry up!" Upon hearing this, the three men immediately realized what was going on, and they all knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and called him Master.

Since Wang Chongyang allowed them to call Qiu Chuji "Senior Brother", it meant that he wanted to accept them into his sect.

Even though Qiu Chuji, Wang Chuyi and Liu Chuxuan were all named "Chu", these were given by Taoist Jingshu when they went up the mountain. After all, some of the Taoist children's original names were really not very decent.

There are currently no strict requirements for generation names among Wang Chongyang's disciples.

"Hahaha! Good! Good! They are all good kids!"

“When we return to Chongyang Palace, I will collect your business cards, register you, and hold a ceremony to become your apprentice.” Wang Chongyang said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Wang, Liu and Hao were delighted and kowtowed continuously.

Qiu Chuji pulled them up, took them aside, and taught them some basic Quanzhen martial arts.

Before, they didn’t have a master, so they couldn’t learn much. Now, as long as it’s suitable, I can teach you everything.

Although the three of them were not gifted, they were not mediocre or stupid. With some basic skills, they at least memorized the routines and formulas of the basic martial arts taught by Qiu Chuji, and gradually got started after becoming proficient in them.

After teaching his fellow disciples for two hours, Qiu Chuji went to look for Wang Chongyang again.

"Master, I still have doubts about Jin Yanzi's identity, but after all, we have been together for a long time, and it is not good to just abandon her like this. How about bringing her back to Zhongnan Mountain and handing her over to Senior Lin for the supervision first?" Qiu Chuji said after finding Wang Chongyang.

Jin Yanzi told Qiu Chuji two "stories" related to her life experience, but Qiu Chuji did not believe them completely.

There are still many mysteries about her that have not been solved.

Of course, judging from Jin Yanzi's performance, she is not a wicked person, nor does she harbor any sinister intentions.

As for arranging Jin Yanzi's next destination without her consent, it seemed a bit "dictatorial", but this was of course also for the sake of Jin Yanzi's life.

Qiu Chuji won the title of "Number One in the World" on Mount Huashan. Considering his age, basically no one would believe that it was not just because of his extraordinary talent and outstanding abilities, but it was more because of the legendary "Nine Yin Scriptures". Jin Yanzi was still wandering in the world, and the world was in constant turmoil. She herself would also face many difficulties.

"Of course! Your Uncle Lin is very wise and should be able to take care of her."

Then Wang Chongyang asked, "Are you not going back to Mount Zhongnan with us?"

Qiu Chuji nodded: "Indeed, there are still some mundane matters that have not been resolved."

Qiu Qianren is dead, and the fake Qiu Qianzhang will definitely not be able to hide for too long. If the Iron Palm Gang is in chaos, Wu Mu's posthumous letter placed in the forbidden area of ​​the Iron Palm Gang may be discovered. Qiu Chuji still plans to go there early and get this military book first.

Not only that, he also wanted to go to the barren mountains near Xiangyang to look for Dugu Qiubai.

It would be even better if I could demonstrate martial arts with Dugu Qiubai.

"Your martial arts skills are now better than mine, so I don't have any more instructions for you."

"I will give you some things later. Take them with you so that it will be more convenient for you to travel along the way." Wang Chongyang said.

After thinking for a while, Wang Chongyang added: "If you go south, you can go to Mount Lu. I will draw a map for you and you can look for it according to the map. When you get there, go into the cave for a hundred steps and stop. Maybe you will have a chance."
