Travel through the heavens

After Fang Muye finished practicing Tai Chi again, he looked at Lei Wujie and asked, "Did you remember it all?"

Lei Wujie recalled it carefully, nodded and replied, "I remember it all."

Fang Muye walked to the side and said with a smile: "Okay, then play it for me to see."

"Okay, Brother Fang."

Lei Wujie responded, and immediately walked back to the center of the yard and started practicing Tai Chi.

Lei Wujie performed every move very seriously. When he reached the fifth move "White Crane Spreads Wings", the door of the courtyard was pushed open and Lei Hong walked in slowly.

Fang Muye and Lei Hong nodded to each other, as if they were afraid of disturbing the young man who was practicing boxing seriously in the yard. Both of them did not speak and looked at Lei Wujie.

At first, Lei Hong didn't care about Lei Wujie's unfamiliar boxing style. But after a moment, his body suddenly straightened slightly, and his eyes began to shine.

Lei Wujie was indeed born with a smart mind and a natural talent in martial arts. He performed this set of Tai Chi without any difference from beginning to end, and even displayed some of the momentum and connotation of the boxing, which made Fang Muye very satisfied.

After finishing the move, Lei Wujie could not hide his joy on his face. He looked down at his fists, obviously enjoying the Tai Chi he had learned.

He looked up and was about to say something to Fang Muye, but he finally found that his master Lei Hong had appeared in the courtyard without him noticing. He suddenly remembered that he was so busy practicing boxing that he forgot something important. He immediately ran to the kitchen with a loud shout: "Ah, I forgot to make breakfast."

Lei Hong looked at Lei Wujie's back, sighed helplessly, and said: "Alas, this child is not young anymore, but he is still so impetuous." Although his words were blaming, the kindness in his eyes could not be concealed.

Fang Muye laughed and said, "Young people should behave like young people. This is very good."

Lei Hong also smiled, and then said seriously: "The boxing style that Wu Jie just performed was taught by Brother Fang. Although I didn't see the whole thing, I can tell the whole picture from a glimpse of it. This boxing style is extremely ethereal and spiritual, and it moves in a magical way. It has its own rules and is unpredictable. It is a mysterious and unparalleled kung fu. Brother Fang's love for teaching you is really too great."

Fang Muye smiled slightly: "I just taught Wu Jie a set of boxing skills. Compared with him saving my life, it is really not worth mentioning." After a pause, he continued: "Master Lei, Fang has an unwelcome request."

Lei Hong was puzzled: "Brother Fang, please speak."

Fang Muye said seriously: "Wu Jie is kind-hearted and thoughtful. He is a rare gem in the world. I like him very much. He and I have a good relationship. If Master Lei doesn't mind, I would like to take him as my apprentice."

Lei Hong's eyes were unclear for a moment. He really didn't expect that Fang Muye would make such a request.

Lei Wujie was not only Lei Hong's disciple, but also had a deep relationship with him. He put a lot of effort into Lei Wujie, raising him almost like his own son. They had only known Fang Muye for a short time, and Fang Muye's identity and origin were unknown. They had no idea what kind of person he was, and what kind of character he had. If he was a person with bad intentions, wouldn't Lei Wujie be harmed if he became his disciple?

However, although Lei Hong did not know how to read people, he was very hard to deceive by a person's temperament and eyes. He could feel that Fang Muye was upright and definitely not a treacherous or evil person.

Moreover, Fang Muye taught such a mysterious and profound boxing technique as long as he was told to. He was indeed quite generous and loyal.

The silly boy only went to the back mountain once in all these years and rescued him. Maybe it was really as he said, this was their fate.

After thinking carefully for a moment, Lei Hong had made up his mind. He looked into Fang Muye's sincere eyes and said slowly, "It's rare that Brother Fang is so kind to Wu Jie. If Wu Jie can have the honor to become Brother Fang's disciple, I will naturally be happy. However, although this child is young, he has his own ideas. I still have to ask him what he thinks about becoming his disciple."

Fang Muye clasped his fists and said with a smile: "Of course, I would like to thank Master Lei for his help."

Lei Hong clasped his fists in return: "Brother Fang, you are too polite."

The two of them entered the house and sat for a while before Lei Wujie brought in breakfast. It was white porridge with side dishes. Although simple, it was the most soothing.

After the three of them finished eating, Lei Wujie was about to clean up the dishes, but Lei Hong stopped him and said, "Wujie, don't be in a hurry to clean up. Brother Fang has something to tell you."

Lei Wujie looked at Fang Muye with a smile and asked, "Brother Fang, what do you want to tell me?"

Fang Muye smiled and said, "I want to take you as my apprentice. Are you willing?"

Lei Wujie was immediately shocked and cried out "Ah". He was Brother Fang just a moment ago, but now he wanted to accept him as a disciple. He was indeed a little confused. He couldn't help but look at his master Lei Hong, but saw that his master's face was calm, obviously he knew it in advance.

Lei Wujie scratched his head, hesitated for a moment and said, "I learned Tai Chi from Brother Fang, so naturally I should worship Brother Fang as my master."

After saying that, Lei Wujie knelt down towards Fang Muye, kowtowed three times in a row, and performed the ceremony of paying respect to his teacher: "Disciple Lei Wujie greets the master."

Fang Muye laughed: "Okay, get up quickly." Then he reached out and helped Lei Wujie up.

Lei Wujie didn't know what to say and just chuckled.

After accepting Lei Wujie as his disciple, Fang Muye did not rush to teach him other martial arts except for letting him practice Tai Chi well.

Speaking of which, the martial arts system in the world of "Song of Youth" is different from all the worlds Fang Muye has traveled through before.

In this world, there are "visible veins" and "hidden veins".

The obvious meridians are well known to everyone. They refer to the eight extraordinary meridians, the twelve regular meridians, and the fifteen collateral meridians.

As for what the hidden veins are, there is no specific explanation. It is only mentioned that "people actually have hidden veins, which are difficult to detect. People who practice martial arts have studied them a lot, because people's internal strength is hidden in the hidden veins. If the hidden veins are damaged, it is like the martial arts are wasted." Xiao Se was unable to fight because his hidden veins were injured, so he had the internal strength of the Xiaoyao Tianjing realm but had no way to use it.

Store the essence and gather the Qi in the Dantian, and circulate the Qi through the twelve main meridians and the eight extraordinary meridians. Fang Muye's martial arts training is based on the eight extraordinary meridians and the twelve meridians, and he is very familiar with the "manifest meridians".

Because I have practiced the "Nine Dragons Combined Jade" which talks about "Qi flowing through the central channel and passing through the twelve floors" in the world of "The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain", I have also dabbled in the "Three Channels and Seven Chakras" of Tantric Buddhism.

But when it comes to "hidden veins", I just heard about it and I don't understand it.

What exactly are the hidden meridians, where do they start and end, how do blood and qi circulate within them, how is internal strength hidden within them, and whether practicing the hidden meridians conflicts with practicing the visible meridians? These are all things that need to be studied.
