Chapter 70 You Don’t Understand “Nine Heavens Qi”

In a flash, it is already New Year.

It has been half a year since Chu Yuan returned to Qingcheng Mountain.

There was a heavy snowfall on Qingcheng Mountain last night.

The entire Qingcheng Mountain is covered with a thick layer of white snow.

After the Taoists of Songfeng Temple got up, they saw the outside world covered in silver, as if they had come to a world of ice and snow.

Under the instruction of the commander, they all started to clear the snow in the Taoist temple.

In the small courtyard where Chu Yuan lives.

Qu Feiyan wore a thick blue cotton Taoist robe on her upper body and cotton trousers on her lower body, wrapping herself tightly. Her original double buns were tied into Taoist buns with a wooden hairpin, and there were some snowflakes on her hair.

In the cold wind, he ran from his room to Chu Yuan's door, knocked on Chu Yuan's door with his hand, and left a row of clear little footprints on the snow-white inside of the yard.

Boom!

"Master, wake up!"

Qu Feiyan was knocking on the door outside.

"Stop knocking. I heard you."

Chu Yuan's somewhat helpless voice came from the room.

On such a snowy day in winter, it was such a happy thing to hide in bed and sleep in, but now I’m woken up.

But who can blame him for accepting this disciple as his own?
Bear with it!
Not long after, Chu Yuan, who was wearing a thin black Taoist robe, opened the door and walked out.

He was yawning.

As soon as I opened the door, I felt a cold wind mixed with snow blowing in my face.

The originally warm room suddenly became cold and drafty.

This made Chu Yuan feel like he had washed his face with cold water in the middle of winter, and his original sleepiness disappeared without a trace in an instant.

"Master, you are wearing so little, aren't you cold?"

Qu Feiyan saw that her master was only wearing a thin black gauze Taoist robe, and she looked at Chu Yuan with surprise.

Since the beginning of winter, she noticed that her master had been wearing a thin Taoist robe for the summer, and she thought that her master was more resistant to cold.

But seeing that it was snowing today and her master was still wearing the thin Taoist robe he wore in the summer, she knew that her master was definitely more than just resistant to the cold.

"not cold!"

Chu Yuan shook his head.

He had made great progress in practicing the "Nine Heavens Gang Qi", and among the six twelve main meridians practiced by the "Nine Heavens Gang Qi", there was the Hand Shaoyang Sanjiao Meridian.

The Hand Shaoyang Triple Burner Meridian is one of the three yang meridians of the hand. It is the exterior of the Hand Jueyin Pericardium Meridian. It connects with the Hand Jueyin Pericardium Meridian at the ring finger above and the Foot Shaoyang Gallbladder Meridian at the outer canthus of the eye below.

It is one of the meridians with the most yang energy in the human body.

As long as you practice "Nine Heavens Gangqi" to a certain level and open up the "Shaoyang Triple Burner Meridian of the Hand", you can gain a little ability to resist the severe cold.

In addition, Chu Yuan practiced "Nine Heavens Gang Qi" and opened up all six meridians, and he has developed an innate true qi. This innate true qi can not only be transformed into innate gang qi to protect the body when encountering an enemy.

You can also be immune to cold and heat on weekdays.

In this cold winter day, Chu Yuan did not feel cold even though he was wearing a thin Taoist robe.

"Practice the Nine Heavens Gang Qi more. If you can cultivate the six meridians of the Nine Heavens Gang Qi and develop the innate true qi, you will also have the ability to not be afraid of the severe cold."

Chu Yuan sang to Qu Feiyan.

"I will try my best, Master."

Qu Feiyan said with some envy.

If she is really not afraid of the severe cold, then she will never be afraid of this cold winter again.

Compared to the heat of summer, she is more afraid of the cold of winter.

I also prefer summer.

"Master, this snow is so sweet!"

After expressing her envy, Qu Feiyan ran to the yard, grabbed a ball of clean snow, made it into a snowball, put it in her mouth and started eating it.

After all, he is just a child of a few years old. He usually looks clever and quirky, but when he saw the snow in the yard, he couldn't resist the temptation to play.

"You guys have fun by yourself. I'm going to Baiyun Temple to pay a visit to Master."

Chu Yuan sang to Qu Feiyan.

Today is the last day of this year and a lot has happened this year.

But in general, the entire Qingcheng Mountain is developing in a good direction.

"Master, I will go with you."

Hearing that Chu Yuan was going to his master's place, Qu Feiyan immediately said.

She hasn't been to Baiyun Temple for some time.

She quite likes the abbot of Baiyun Temple, her master named Ziyun.

Every time she went there, the other party would tell her some Taoist scriptures. Although they were not about martial arts, she still listened with great interest.

This master-master reminded her of her grandfather Qu Yang.

She felt that her grandfather Qu Yang had certain similarities with her master's master.

"Are you sure you want to go? It snowed last night and the mountain roads are covered with snow. It's not easy to walk on the mountain roads."

Chu Yuan lowered his head and said to Qu Feiyan.

He won't help Qu Feiyan.

Qu Feiyan walked all the way back to Qingcheng Mountain from Fuzhou Prefecture by herself, which was such a long distance.

Although they may walk slower on the road, stopping and starting along the way.

"Go."

Qu Feiyan blurted out.

She has made some progress in martial arts these days.

Not only had he learned the Qingcheng School's introductory sword technique, the Qingfeng Sword Technique, he was also currently practicing the first meridian of the Jiuxiao Gangqi, the Taiyang Small Intestine Meridian. He believed that traveling on the Qingcheng Mountain Road that had been snowed on was not a problem.

"Let's go then."

Chu Yuan doesn't care about the Tao.

He opened the door of the courtyard and walked out, with Qu Feiyan following behind him.

Passing through the houses and palaces of Songfeng Temple, we saw quite a few young Taoist priests in their teens holding brooms and sweeping the snow in the courtyard.

"Master uncle, little master aunt!"

"Master uncle, little master aunt!"

"Master uncle, little master aunt!"

Along the way, when these young Taoists saw Chu Yuan and Qu Feiyan passing by, they stopped sweeping the snow, put down their brooms, and saluted Chu Yuan and Qu Feiyan.

Before they knew it, the third generation disciples had already become the majority in Songfeng Temple.

This greatly raised Chu Yuan's seniority.

He was previously called Junior Uncle-Master and was now called Grand Uncle-Master.

Even Qu Feiyan benefited from this and was called "little nun" by many Taoist priests who were older than her.

Chu Yuan just smiled and nodded as a response to these disciples' greetings.

"No gift!"

"No need to be polite!"

……

Qu Feiyan, on the contrary, seemed to be enjoying it quite a lot. These Taoists, who were a few years or ten years older than her, called her "little nun".

She responded to all the little Taoist priests who saluted them, and tried to act like an elder. Chu Yuan felt a little funny when he saw this, but he didn't say anything.

The master and his disciple left Songfeng Temple, walked through the Songfeng Temple archway, and walked onto the mountain road covered with heavy snow.

A section of the mountain road near Songfeng Temple seemed to have been cleared by the Taoist priests of Songfeng Temple, so there was not much snow. However, after walking a mile or two, the mountain road was completely covered with heavy snow.

Fortunately, the master and the disciple were very familiar with the mountain roads on Qingcheng Mountain, so they would not lose the way, and there would be no danger.

Just be careful that the mountain roads are slippery on snowy days, so don't step on the snow or you might fall.

The snow was still falling, and the cold wind was howling.

The snowflakes on the peaks of Qingcheng Mountain fluttered in the wind, decorating the entire mountain top like a flowing painting.

It usually took him an hour to walk this distance, but he managed to walk for almost an hour and a half.

The main reason was that Qu Feiyan walked slowly and fell several times along the way.

However, Qu Feiyan was strong inside. Unlike other children, she did not cry or shout after falling. Before Chu Yuan had the chance to help her, she got up by herself, patted the snow off her body, and continued to follow Chu Yuan without saying a word.

Arrive at Baiyun Temple where Chayun Peak is located.

The snow in front of Baiyun Temple and in the courtyard had all been cleared away, and it looked very clean.

After walking on the mountain road for such a long time, a light layer of snow accumulated on Chu Yuan and Qu Feiyan's clothes and hair. Before entering Baiyun Temple, both of them shook themselves off.

Because it was snowing today, they didn't see any disciples guarding the gate of Baiyun Temple.

Chu Yuan didn't care and walked into Baiyun Temple as if it were his own home.

The Taoists who saw Chu Yuan and Qu Feiyan along the way greeted Chu Yuan very respectfully.

Chu Yuan saw him on the road. He was very familiar with him. He often guarded the gate of Baiyun Temple in the past few years. He was a Taoist priest with big ears and his name was Xiao Yi.

More than ten years have passed, and the other party has grown from a gatekeeper to a middle-aged Taoist priest with a considerable status in Baiyun Temple, managing a group of young Taoist priests who have just entered the temple.

"Uncle Chu is here to look for the abbot, right? The abbot and several other senior abbots are all in the quiet room!"

Taoist Xiao Yi said to Chu Yuan.

"Okay, I got it. Thank you, Xiaoyi."

After Chu Yuan responded, he took Qu Feiyan and passed through the Lingzu Temple, Laojun Temple, Doumu Temple, and Tianshi Temple, and came to the quiet room in the backyard.

"Cuixia, your understanding of the hand Taiyin Lung Meridian is wrong."

"What's wrong, Bixu? Please tell me what's wrong with my understanding!"

"The "Lingshu·Jingmai" says that the Lung Hand Taiyin Meridian starts from the middle burner, goes down to the large intestine, and also goes along the stomach. It goes up to the diaphragm and belongs to the lung. It goes out from the armpit horizontally from the lung system, goes down along the inside of the arm, and goes to the Shaoyin and heart meridians... To practice this meridian, you need to go to the lungs first, then spread to the large intestine, along the throat, and join the Hand Yangming Meridian at the Futu point. This is the correct way to circulate qi."

"This is just a record in the medical book "Spiritual Coffin". "Nine Heavens Gangqi" is an internal skill, cultivating internal strength, not practicing medicine. I think according to the training formula, it should go to the lungs first, through the supraclavicular pelvis, along the throat, and merge into the Yangming meridian..."

"Master Cuixia, I think Master Bixu is right. His understanding of the Qigong method is more correct..."

"Baoyang, you and Bixu know nothing..."

"Master Cuixia, you are being unreasonable."

The door of the quiet room was closed, but a fierce quarrel could be heard from inside, with some vulgar words. If you stood outside the door and listened, you would think it was just ordinary people quarreling in the market if you didn't know!

"Master, it seems that they are arguing because of your "Nine Heavens Qi". Should we still go in?"

Qu Feiyan heard the quarrel coming from inside, and she whispered to Chu Yuan.

"Don't rush in, let's stand outside the door and listen first."

Chu Yuan also gave up the idea of ​​going in now.

It sounded like there was quite a lot of noise inside. If he went in now, wouldn't he be throwing himself into the enemy's path and attracting the fire towards himself?
Master and disciple Chu Yuan, who were standing outside the door, waited outside the quiet room for a while.

After hearing a fierce and noisy quarrel coming from inside, no one could come to a conclusion and the quarrel gradually died down.

"Ziyun, you said that Chu Yuan is your disciple, and this "Nine Heavens Gang Qi" was also created by him. Who do you think is right among us?"

At this moment, the voice of Taoist Cuixia came from the house.

"Cough cough..."

Ziyun coughed and said, "You guys are talking about your own things, why do you want to involve me, an old Taoist?"

"After all, this is the martial arts created by your disciple. Let alone the "Nine Heavens Gangqi", you didn't put in any effort at all, and you don't understand it?" Taoist Bixu said slowly.

"This old Taoist really didn't contribute much. It was all figured out by his disciple on his own." Ziyun's voice revealed helplessness.

"Ziyun, even if you didn't contribute, this "Nine Heavens Gang Qi" was created by your disciple, you must give us a result."

The voice of Taoist Cuixia also came from the house.

"If you insist on telling me who is right and who is wrong in your understanding of the Nine Heavens Gang Qi, I think you all have your reasons and are both right!"

Ziyun said.

"No, you're just trying to smooth things over."

"Yes."

Ziyun's words made Taoist Cuixia and Taoist Bixu dissatisfied.

"This 'Nine Heavens Gang Qi' was created by my disciple, not by me. If you want to decide the winner, you have to find my disciple! Otherwise, should I ask someone to invite my disciple over now?"

Ziyun said, he was really forced into no choice.

"That won't work. He is a junior. If we invite him here, wouldn't we, the seniors, be asking for his advice in disguise? Where would our dignity as seniors be?"

Taoist Cuixia denied it immediately.

"Yes, Cuixia is right."

Taoist Bixu echoed.

"This won't do, and that won't do. What exactly do you want? Today is New Year's Eve, and I kindly invite you to come over for a gathering, but you want to embarrass me?"

Ziyun in the quiet room was obviously getting a little impatient with this group of old Taoists, and his tone became harsh.

"Masters and uncles, Chu Yuan wants to see you."

At this moment, Chu Yuan walked to the door and knocked on the door of the quiet room to rescue his master Ziyun.

"Brother Chu is here?"

"He didn't hear what we just said, did he?"

"Why did you come at this time, why didn't you come earlier or later? You must have heard it!"

"That's it. Where will we seniors keep our reputation from now on..."

Chu Yuan's words made the originally noisy quiet room suddenly quiet, and then a guilty voice came from the quiet room.

"come in."

Before these seniors finished their words, the voice of Master Ziyun was heard in the quiet room. It was not known whether he said it on purpose.

Chu Yuan took Qu Feiyan's hand, pushed open the door of the quiet room, and walked into the house.

As soon as you step into the quiet room, it feels like you have stepped from the cold winter to the warm spring, and the temperature suddenly rises a lot.

Chu Yuan took a quick glance and saw a six-legged cast iron brazier placed in the quiet room.

There was red-hot charcoal fire in the brazier, which continuously emitted heat, making the entire quiet room as warm as spring.

In the quiet room, in addition to his master Ziyun and the two purple-robed Taoist priests Cuixia and Bixu whom he had met before, there were also five red-robed Taoist priests, all sitting in a circle with cushions under their buttocks, sitting around the brazier to keep warm.

Qu Feiyan took a cushion for Chu Yuan and herself, and sat by the brazier to keep warm.

Taoist Cuixia looked at Chu Yuan, who was wearing a single Taoist robe in the snowy winter, but didn't feel cold, and said, "Chu boy, I'm sure you heard our argument just now. Who do you think is right about the Nine Heavens Gang Qi, me or Bixu?"

Chu Yuan actually already had the answer in his mind, and he said it in a more euphemistic way:

"In fact, what Master Bixu said makes more sense. When I created the Nine Heavens Gangqi, I referred to some of the theories in the Spiritual Pivot."

After hearing this, Taoist Cuixia became angry immediately.

He stood up suddenly, pointed at Chu Yuan's nose and said:

"Brother Chu, you said Bixu is right, but I think you don't understand the Nine Heavens Gangqi at all!"

　ps: It’s a new week, please give me votes and recommendation tickets for next month.
