The First Sword of the Universe

Chapter 46: Chief Escort Lin, Your Martial Arts Are a Mess

“The so-called five qi in the chest can also be called the five images in the body.”

"It is not only closely related to the five organs in the human abdominal cavity: the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys. The functions and changes involved are far more than that."

"The five elements are roughly divided into five concrete attributes: gold, wood, water, fire, and earth."

"Its five hidden images are represented by..."

“The energy of wood represents growth, development, connection and comfort.”

"The energy of fire represents warmth, rising, and brightness."

"The energy of earth represents life, acceptance, and bearing."

"The energy of gold represents cleanliness, purity, and restraint."

"Water energy represents coldness, moisture, and downward movement."

"These five qi and five images each have their own functions and positions in the human body, governing the operation and changes of all functions of the body."

Xu Xingchen recalled the various descriptions of the five kinds of qi in the chest in Taoist scriptures and medical books, and compared them with the qi-circulating methods in the "Bixie Sword Manual" on the table, looking for the mystery in them.

“Guide the internal force through the external meridians and hidden secret orifices to stimulate and activate the kidney water energy among the five energies. Then, first move it downward and then upward, linking the other four energies to form a new cycle, and finally, combine into a breath of true energy.”

"This breath of true energy is extremely mysterious. According to the records in the sword manual, it can give a person a terrifying speed like a ghost, making it difficult for the enemy to defend themselves. Before they can react, they have already been hit."

"only."

Xu Xingchen sighed, looked at the words and figures on the cassock, and said helplessly: "This magical skill achieves the effect of changing the properties of the true qi by self-mutilation."

"I just used my internal force to stimulate the water energy of the kidneys, and I became so aroused that I could no longer control myself. I couldn't continue to explore and study the subsequent energy-moving routes."

After a long silence, Xu Xingchen withdrew his gaze, and his thoughts continued to wander in his mind.

"The five energies in the chest have mutual generation and mutual restraint, alternation of strength and weakness, more of one and less of another, and most importantly, the distinction between yin and yang."

"Internal force can stimulate the five qi in the chest through different ways and in different orders, and can produce various different magical changes."

"Then Zuo Lengchan's Ice Palm, Master's Purple Cloud Magic Skill, including Ren Woxing's Star Absorbing Technique and Shaolin Temple's Yi Jin Jing, should all belong to a certain type of Qi transformation with different attributes."

"It's a pity that I only have this book of sword manual to exorcise evil spirits that can be used to cultivate true qi. The problem is that I am not willing to hurt myself to cultivate."

"No hurry! No hurry! When I find more martial arts secrets in the future, I will naturally learn more about true qi!"

Thinking of this, Xu Xingchen hid the cassock on the table in his package, picked up a wooden stick, carried his bag, and left the inn.

I bought some pens, ink, paper and inkstone from a bookstore, changed to an inn, and opened a new house.

In the room, Xu Xingchen spread out the cassock again, ground the ink, picked up the pen, and recorded the words on it on a blank piece of book paper.

I spent an entire afternoon copying two volumes of the Sword Manual of Exorcism.

When night fell, he put on his black nightgown again, put on a mask, carried a wooden stick, held a package in his arms, and walked out of the inn through the window.

He leaped over the roofs of the residents' houses and headed straight for the Fuwei Escort Agency.

"It's the second watch now, close the doors and windows to prevent theft!"

The night watchman walked through the streets and alleys, beating gongs and shouting, reminding people to get ready before going to bed.

The lights of the thousands of houses in Fuzhou City began to go out one by one. His body rose high and landed lightly on the roof of the top floor of a three-story restaurant. Xu Xingchen looked at the Fuwei Escort Agency, which was only one street away. He saw that there were still many rooms with lights on, and it was obvious that many people were not asleep.

Touching the package in his arms, he remembered the purpose of this trip tonight.

He naturally felt a little sympathetic about the future fate of the Fuwei Escort Agency and Lin Zhennan's family of three. This time, he stole the Sword Manual of Exorcism from someone else's ancestral home in Xiangyang Lane, which made him feel even more guilty.

But apart from helping Lin Zhennan's family withstand the pressure from Yu Canghai of the Qingcheng Sect, he could not help in other aspects.

As long as their Lin family still runs the Fuwei Escort Agency and carries the reputation of their grandfather Lin Yuantu, and there is no threat from Yu Canghai of the Qingcheng Sect, there will be other people who will come and covet the "Bixie Sword Manual".

It is impossible for Xu Xingchen to stay in Fuzhou permanently and protect the three members of the Lin family at all times.
Blacksmith need its own hardware!
He had no choice but to return the Book of the Sword of Exorcism to Lin Zhennan. If he encountered a crisis again in the future, it would depend on the choice of Chief Escort Lin.

As for why Lin Yuantu did not allow his descendants to practice the Sword Manual of Exorcism, but kept it secret, and did not take out a strong martial arts secret manual to pass on to his descendants so that they could use it to protect themselves?
Xu Xingchen couldn’t figure out the reasons behind this, so he didn’t think much about it!
With a leap, his figure was like a golden goose flying across the sky, flying across a distance of several feet and landing on the wall of the Fuwei Escort Agency.

His steps were steady and light. He moved forward and leaped quickly on the roof without attracting the attention of the people below.

There was no moon to illuminate the night, and only lanterns were hung in the courtyard. Those who occasionally came and went in the courtyard could hardly notice that there was someone on the roof even if they looked up.

Listening here, looking there, and through several conversations among the people below, he quickly found the room where Lin Zhennan and his wife lived.

This is a separate courtyard with trees in the corners and flowers in front of the house. The environment is quiet and it is a happy place to live.

Xu Xingchen lightly stepped on the bluestone floor in the courtyard with his toes, looked at the bright candlelight shining through the window paper, tilted his head to think for a moment, then reached out and broke off a branch from a nearby tree.

call out!
He stretched out his hand and swung it. The branch flew out and hit the door, making a crisp "pop" sound.

"who?"

Someone in the house shouted loudly, and the window next to it suddenly opened. A figure jumped out from inside, holding a sword in hand, and landed in the yard.

Then, the door was suddenly opened, and an agile figure jumped out from inside, holding a golden knife in his hand.

Of these two people, the middle-aged man holding the sword was none other than Lin Zhennan, the chief escort of the Fuwei Escort Agency, and the woman holding the sword was Madam Lin.

The two men came together, their eyes all looking at the figure in black standing quietly in the yard.

Lin Zhennan glanced at the mask of the man in black and shouted angrily, "So it's you, the thief?"

Madam Lin held the golden sword across her chest with a vigilant look on her face. She had heard from the guards at the ancestral home that this masked man in black was able to easily defeat two disciples of the Qingcheng Sect, and his martial arts skills were so high that they should not be underestimated.

Xu Xingchen said in a muffled voice, "Yes, I am the thief who stole your Sword Manual of Exorcism! Chief Escort Lin, do you have anything to say to me?"

Hearing such an open admission that he was the thief, Lin Zhennan looked unhappy, but he suppressed his anger and asked, "What is your intention in coming to me, Lin Zhennan, again? Are you here to humiliate me, Lin?"

Seeing Lin Zhennan's patience, Xu Xingchen couldn't help but sneer, waved his hand at him with contempt, and said, "I came here this time to learn the evil-repelling swordsmanship of Chief Escort Lin. Chief Escort Lin, please make your move!"

This time, the hot-tempered Mrs. Lin was the first to lose her patience. She yelled "Damn it" and rushed forward with a golden knife in hand.

Seeing this, Lin Zhennan also rushed forward with a sword in hand.

The golden knife chopped fiercely and the sword light made a sharp sound. The martial arts of this couple were definitely skillful and capable.

Xu Xingchen only defended and did not attack, allowing the two men to display their martial arts to their heart's content, but the more they fought, the more disappointed he felt.

At the end of the fight, the wooden sticks blew the weapons in the hands of the two men left and right. One stick hit Mrs. Lin's shoulder, and the other hit Lin Zhennan's chest, knocking them back seven or eight steps.

Afterwards, Youyou sighed and said, "Captain Lin, your martial arts skills are a mess!"

　Collect, read, vote, and thank all the bosses for their help!
