Yamafu Military Affairs

Chapter 416: Entering the Qi Bureau
Qinling Mountains, in an unknown mountain valley and wild forest.

Everyone gathered in a circle, staring at Sun Sheng who was taking Xiang Yihai's pulse.

"The three parts are gentle and powerful, the rhythm is even, neither floating nor sinking, neither fast nor slow, the qi and blood are stored inside, responding to the winter qi."

Sun Sheng felt the pulse and nodded to Xiang Hongying, who was anxious but didn't show it on his face, "This medicinal diet is indeed effective. After Xiao Yihai took it for only a few moments, the essence in his body was locked up by the new muscles and tendons. The function can be said to be no different from the function of filling the acupoints with primordial qi, but it is more primitive and more thorough, no less than being reborn and regaining a new life."

"Then Mr. Sun, when will my father wake up?"

After hearing this, Xiang Hongying finally felt relieved. After thanking Ao Ling softly, she asked Sun Sheng again.

"Look, he's awake now."

Sun Sheng pointed at Xiang Yihai, whose eyeballs were trembling in a small rhythm and whose eyelids were slowly opening. He turned around and sat back by the campfire. He took the Biluochun tea brewed by Ao Ling and drank it happily.

"Mr. Sun, my daughter, A-Wu, Xiao-Qin? Who are you?"

After Xiang Yihai woke up, he looked at Qin Huai who had come to him at some point. Although he was surprised, his attention quickly shifted from him to the only pretty girl he didn't know in the room, who was drinking tea with Sun Sheng.

"Dad, Sister Ling'er is Qin Lang's friend. It was she who made the medicinal food that cured your chronic illness. Tell us, how do you feel now?"

Xiang Hongying glanced at Qin Huai who was thinking about his wording, and took the initiative to explain Ao Ling's identity clearly.

"Oh, it turns out that it was the expert Xiao Qin invited. Dad is much better now. Now I just feel like there is a fire burning in my abdomen, as if I have endless strength."

Xiang Yihai had no doubts and after a brief moment of observation, he began to explain.

"He is full of energy now, and it is overflowing. It is normal for him to have these feelings."

Sun Sheng put down the teacup and continued, "The medicinal food just now is very effective. It will gradually replenish his energy until the medicinal effect completely disappears. In my opinion, if you don't take advantage of such a good opportunity to practice, it would be a big loss!"

"Master Sun, do you mean that we still have to go to this [Twenty-Four Section Valley]?"

Qin Huai thought about the requirements of the Yanfu incident and asked.

"Of course, we're all here!"

Sun Sheng looked at Qin Huai, a boy he found quite pleasing to the eye, and stood up to continue deducing according to the strange divination techniques he had left behind earlier.

"Zero, based on this data and rules, calculate the location of the [Twenty-Four Section Valley]."

Qin Huai communicated with the ace ninja Zero in his mind and got a coordinate in just a moment.

At the same time, Zero also projected a navigation map of how to reach this location onto his iris.

"In that case, Elder Sun, there is no need to calculate. I know the location of the [Twenty-Four Section Valley]. Uncle Wu, Hongying, follow me."

Qin Huai was afraid that Sun Sheng would not believe him, so he directly read out the position calculated by number zero using the code of Qimen numerology.

"Since you already know where the Jiegu is, why bother with all this effort? Let's go!"

Sun Sheng twirled his beard and worked his way back based on the answer provided by Qin Huai. He found that there was indeed no mistake or omission, so he immediately picked up his medicine box and walked out.

"Uncle Wu, Uncle Xiang, let me do it."

Qin Huai waved his hand and put all the remaining debris into his personal space. After nodding to Ao Ling who had also put away the pots and pans, an unknown wind rose up, carrying a few people away.

The forest was dense, and the fallen leaves were piled up a foot thick, feeling soft when stepped on. The trees were towering, blocking out the sun, and the old vines were winding like dragons, beside the giant trees. From time to time, the howling of monkeys could be heard in the distance, which was very sad and strange.

In front of a narrow valley that runs horizontally from east to west in a linear pattern, there are large tracts of primeval forest that have not been visited by humans for a long time.

Just as Qin Huai led the way and stepped into the dense forest, strange chirping sounds were heard from all directions. Between the branches and leaves, one swift and strong short figure emerged, staring at the group of uninvited guests under their feet with a fierce look.

It looks like a golden monkey, but is more majestic and taller, and doesn't seem to be very afraid of people.

Qin Huai's eyes swept across the monkeys with golden fur and sky-blue faces, and stayed on their sharp, slender black nails with a metallic luster for two seconds. [A Glimpse] brought relevant information at the right time.

【Golden Monkey】

Category: Alien

A rare species of primate monkey, with primate qi stored in its body and it knows how to utilize it naturally. It has a long lifespan and is extremely intelligent.

characteristic:
[Spiritual Qi]: Swallowing the Qi they produce can improve your comprehension, and in a short period of time you will gain inhuman analytical abilities. Knowledge in most areas of the world can be learned and understood faster, and there is a small chance that your intelligence will be permanently improved.

[Sharp Golden Claws]: The claws are so sharp that they can split mountains and crack rocks.

Note: A Yamabu who has inherited something related to the mountain god and successfully built the [Mountain God Temple] can collect it as a genus, raise it in a garden, and gain the characteristic gains brought by the alien species.

"[Mountain God Temple]? Is it a secret treasure of Yamabu similar to [Suijun Palace]?"

Qin Huai stopped and looked at the threatening blue and white [Golden Monkeys] in the dense forest, and asked Zero another question in his heart.

"Hey, little monkey."

Just when Qin Huai got a positive answer from Zero, Ao Ling, who was left behind, came in with Hongying and a few others. Before she could wave to lead the [Golden Monkeys] to come down and play, this group of alien species born and raised by heaven and earth seemed to have seen some ferocious beast. They immediately turned around and fled, and disappeared in an instant.

"Let's go, they are just little guys who are curious about strangers, they are not a threat."

This was obviously not the first time that Sun Sheng came to the [Twenty-Four Section Valley]. He did not stop and walked along the path with a very vague boundary in the forest. Soon he brought Qin Huai and others to an extremely steep cliff.

It is called a cliff because the stone wall is smooth and steep, like a huge rock suddenly lifted from the rock layer. In fact, there is an obvious crack in the middle of this huge rock that can accommodate five or six people walking side by side. It does not look like it was carved by humans, but rather like it was created by the magic of nature.

"This is the [Twenty-Four Sections Valley]. Once the three of you have walked through it, you will be able to generate Yuan Qi."

Sun Sheng said this, and walked into the dark crevice in the rock, which was so deep and far that no one knew how far it was. "Hongying, Uncle Wu, Uncle Xiang, let's go. I'll protect you, and nothing will go wrong."

After entering the valley, Qin Huai paid attention to the conditions of the three people while looking at the intricate patterns engraved on the cliffs on both sides and the ground beneath his feet, pondering in his mind.

At this moment, Qin Huai keenly noticed that Xiang Hongying, Li Bingwu and Xiang Yihai had changed their postures. It seemed that they unconsciously raised their heads and chests and straightened their spines.

"We are now at the Yaoshu point of the [Twenty-Four Joints], which corresponds to the base of your tailbone in the human spine. It is also the Du channel that controls the Yang energy of your entire body."

Sun Sheng patted his butt and said slowly: "Don't resist the mysterious feeling that this world brings to you. Follow its promptings to mobilize your blood and energy, change your breathing, and we will take it slowly."

"Master Sun, could it be that this [Twenty-four Sections Valley] is the twenty-four vertebrae?"

"Yes, the patterns engraved on it are the method of helping living beings to circulate the Qi and generate internal Qi - the Taoist method of [Three Vehicle Power]."

Sun Sheng paused and continued, "Once ordinary creatures enter the valley, the essence and blood in their bodies will be guided by the patterns on the stone wall and begin to circulate in the form of circulation, helping the creatures to open up the twelve main meridians and the eight extraordinary meridians in turn. Among the circulations, opening up the Du Meridian in the back is the most important and the most difficult."

"Take them for example. None of them stepped onto the bridge between heaven and earth. If they wanted to open up the Du channel step by step, it would probably take a long time. But now with the help of the geographical advantage, the process will be greatly shortened."

Sun Sheng kept walking, and his voice echoed in the valley.

"In the process of opening up the Du channel, the three most difficult points are the coccyx, the lumbar spine, and the occipital bone. Among the methods summarized by many Taoist predecessors, the [Three Vehicle Power] is the most famous secret technique."

"From the coccyx to the Jiaji Shuangguan, the Qi is circulated like a sheep pulling a cart, walking slowly and carefully; from the Jiaji to the Yuzhen, it is like a deer pulling a cart, walking fast and with big steps; after the Yuzhen, the blood is sent to the Niwan Palace, like a tiger, moving forward with great force and rushing through in one go. Of course, this is only one of many ways to practice. I remember that the boxers in your martial arts school use other methods."

Seeing Sun Sheng stop and look at him, Qin Huai nodded slightly and continued: "What you said is that the correct method taught by my master, or the method of practicing Qi from the peak of the Grandmaster to the Grandmaster of each martial arts school, almost all requires the accumulation of blood, energy and strength. When the innate energy is full and the mind is firm, it can explode with just one move, and nothing can stop it."

Just as he finished speaking, Qin Huai, who had just crossed the "Yaoyangguan" section in the [Twenty-Four Sections Valley], suddenly felt a chill in the third lumbar vertebra on his back.

The third lumbar vertebra represents the Great Cold among the twenty-four solar terms.

The power of Great Cold is exactly the secret treasure of Yama that Qin Huai possesses!
The invisible and intangible spiritual energy of heaven and earth poured into Qin Huai's collar, causing him to shiver all over.

The reminder from the ace ninja Zero rang in his ears in time.

"Master Walking, you have been stimulated by the Great Cold Spirit Qi and have obtained the secrets hidden in the [Human Immortal Martial Arts] and have realized how to train your bones to the [Human Immortal Dao Bones]."

Qin Huai didn't want to listen to its chatter. He was intoxicated by a trembling feeling that went up from the base of his tail to his head.

Tianrui source blood, Penglai immortal, and the power of Luwu God all boiled at this moment!

"Absorbing the Great Cold Spirit Qi for a long time will further enhance [Yambu Secret Treasure - Great Cold]!"

"Absorbing the Great Cold Spirit Qi for a long time will further enhance the bone training secret technique of the Immortal Martial Arts!"

In Qin Huai's eyes, a majestic giant tiger with golden skin and black patterns stretched out its cloud-like tail, opened its bloody mouth, and madly swallowed up the invisible and intangible Great Cold Spirit.

"Your personal growth ability: [Heavenly Weather·Luwu] has gained some of the power of [Magic Power Seed: Winter Silence] (1/6)."

Qin Huai opened his eyes, and tried hard to suppress the strange feeling of the third lumbar vertebra behind him becoming increasingly cold. He took a deep breath, and tried his best to gather the Tianrui source blood that was as hot as lava to reduce its contact with the third lumbar vertebra.

"Huai Lang, are you okay?"

Hongying and the other two were trying to understand how to generate internal Qi and had no time to care about other things. They did not notice Qin Huai's current abnormality. Only Ao Ling, who was as meticulous as a hair, noticed that something was wrong with him and came forward to ask with concern.

"It's okay. The land here is special."

Qin Huai said this, but his steps actually slowed down.

In the Niwan Palace, the god Luwu was covered in frost and snow, and crashed headfirst into the Canglan Sea. It was like an opened tank of liquid nitrogen, freezing the blue waves of the sea into a large hard lump of ice.

Water God Tianwu let out a low tiger roar and raised its sharp claws. Rolling lava fell from the sky and splashed onto the solid ice that had frozen the God Luwu. The drastic change in temperature caused steam and mist to rise in the Niwan Palace.

In this way, Sun Sheng led the way in front, and the five people from Qin Huai followed closely behind. They stopped to rest when they were tired, and had food and medicinal food provided by Ao Ling when they were thirsty or hungry.

The sky went from dark to white, and then from white to dark again. When they reached the end of the valley, Qin Huai's third lumbar vertebra, twelfth thoracic vertebra, sixth thoracic vertebra, third thoracic vertebra, first thoracic vertebra, and fourth cervical vertebra were filled with four completely different sensations: cold, empty, hot, and numb.
Qin Huai suppressed the strange feeling coming from his spine, came back to his senses and looked at the Yamabu prompt on his iris, thinking non-stop in his mind.

"Master Xingxing, you have been stimulated by six kinds of spiritual energy: Great Cold, Frost Descent, End of Heat, Great Heat, Grain in Ear, and Waking of Insects. The progress of practicing [Human Immortal Bone] is [6/24]."

“你的个人成长能力：【天人气象·陆吾】获得了【神通种子：冬寂】的部分力量（1/6），【神通种子：春生】的部分力量（1/6），【神通种子：夏荣】的部分力量（2/6），【神通种子：秋杀】的部分力量（2/6）。”

"I didn't expect that the enhancement of the secret treasure of the twenty-four solar terms and this [Twenty-four Solar Terms Valley] would have an effect greater than the sum of one plus one. This trip to Qinling was really worthwhile."

Perhaps because he had walked out of the [Twenty-Four Section Valley], the strange feeling on Qin Huai's back gradually weakened and disappeared, and soon returned to normal.

"Mr. Sun, shall we go back now?"

Li Bingwu, who had found a new way to generate internal Qi, was now refreshed and in good physical condition. He was only one step away from becoming a Grandmaster. Now that he had completed the [Twenty-four Sections Valley] and had Qi in his body, as long as he followed the steps to cross the bridge between heaven and earth and then practice Dan Jin, if he had the opportunity to understand the meaning of boxing in the future, he might be able to sprint to the martial arts realm of a Grandmaster.

"Now that we've come this far, don't you want to go in and see what's inside?"

Sun Sheng looked at the dark cave in front of him, glanced at Li Bingwu who was stretching his muscles, and asked with a smile.

"Look at what you said, I'm sure I'm thinking about it. I wonder if this cave has a name?"

"Of course there is. After the [Twenty-Four Section Valley], it is the [Nine Bends and Circling Cave]!"

Sun Sheng was seen with his hands behind his back, without any lighting tools such as a fire stick, and he walked into the dark cave without looking back.

"If the front is the spine, this is the human intestines!"
