Travel through the heavens

Fang Muye knew what Zhao Xinchuan was talking about as soon as he heard it, but Zhou Xiyu didn't know. He asked in surprise, "What is it?"

Zhao Xinchuan replied in a sonorous voice: "Nine dragons combined!"

Zhou Xiyu frowned and asked, "When did the Peng family acquire this skill?"

Zhao Xinchuan didn't say anything. He looked around and found his target.

Under the gaze of Fang Muye and the other man, Zhao Xinchuan suddenly leaped three meters away, then bent his body, and hugged his arms in front of him, and his momentum burst out instantly.

Zhao Xinchuan gathered the internal energy in his body, and as he circulated his energy, a mass of air that was almost visible to the naked eye appeared between his hands, like the mist rising from the water, seemingly real and imaginary, with rippling water.

With a shout, Zhao Xinchuan pushed with both hands, and the air mass shot out like an arrow from a bow, towards a tree five meters away that was as thick as an adult's thigh.

The trees first vibrated violently with high frequency, and the leaves fell down. After a breath or two, there was a loud "bang", and the trees exploded in the middle, with wood chips flying everywhere, but the bark was relatively well preserved.

Zhou Xiyu asked in astonishment: "The inner trunk was shattered, but the outer bark was not seriously damaged. Is this ability to strike objects from a distance the 'Nine Dragons Combined'?"

Zhao Xinchuan replied: "Yes, this is the Nine Dragons Combination, the highest realm of Tai Chi that seems soft but is actually strong."

When a martial artist reaches the state of "internal energy penetrating the body" in the later stage of the small Zhoutian, he can hit objects from a distance. The stronger the internal energy, the greater the power. However, it is rare in the world to be able to reach the state of "Nine Dragons Combining".

Fang Muye nodded and said, "This skill is incredibly powerful and can indeed be called a 'unique skill'."

Zhou Xiyu asked curiously: "Where did this Nine Dragons come from?"

Zhao Xinchuan replied: "I heard from my uncles that this is a skill created by my master."

Fang Muye thought about it and guessed, "Maybe Brother Dao took away the Ape Strike Technique. Taiji Sect doesn't have a sect-defining martial art, so Peng Qianwu created the Nine Dragons Combination Technique. I never thought that Peng Qianwu, who is narrow-minded, would have such attainments in martial arts."

Zhou Xiyu seemed to be thinking about something, and slowly said: "Brother, you already have a very high talent for martial arts, but you have always been greedy for worldly things and slacked off in practicing. If you can calm down, it is possible to surpass my master."

He looked at Zhao Xinchuan and asked in confusion, "Given my brother's personality, how could he be willing to teach you the Nine Dragons Combined Jade?"

Zhao Xinchuan, a man of integrity, actually showed a shy look at this moment, and said shyly: "When I left Taiji Sect before, I was unwilling to leave, so I secretly learned this Kung Fu from my master."

As the saying goes, "Every country has its own laws, every family has its own rules." Without rules, there will be no order. Learning martial arts secretly has always been a taboo in the martial arts world. Even if you are a disciple of a certain sect, you cannot learn the sect's advanced martial arts without being taught, otherwise you will be punished by the sect's rules.

Zhou Xiyu sighed softly. Although he didn't agree with Zhao Xinchuan's behavior, he didn't blame him. Instead, he warned him, "Don't let your master know, otherwise your life will be in danger!"

Zhao Xinchuan replied, "Uncle Master, I understand." He thought for a moment and then said, "Uncle Master, why don't I tell you how to practice the Nine Dragons Combination."

He didn't have any bad intention in saying this, he just felt that Zhou Xiyu was in a similar situation to him, and that Zhou Xiyu treated him very kindly, so he came up with the idea of ​​teaching the Nine Dragons Combined Art to his fellow uncle.

Zhou Xiyu actually had no interest in the Nine Dragons Combination and was about to refuse, but after taking a look at Fang Muye, he changed his mind and said, "If you don't mind, teach us both."

"You guys?" Zhao Xinchuan was confused at first, but when he saw Fang Muye smiling beside him, he immediately understood. He showed a hesitant look and said, "If Master knew about this, it would probably bring disaster to Mr. Cui. Besides, to practice the Nine Dragons Combination, one needs to have the skill of internal energy penetrating the body first."

Zhou Xiyu laughed: "He has already learned all the Tai Chi Kung Fu, so he is not short of the Nine Dragons Combination Kung Fu. And with Fellow Daoist Cui's skills, you don't have to worry about his safety."

Zhao Xinchuan was shocked. He was not only surprised that Zhou Xiyu and Mr. Cui had such a good relationship and taught him all the skills of Tai Chi, but he was even more surprised by the meaning of Zhou Xiyu's words. It was clear that Peng Qianwu and Tai Chi were no match for Mr. Cui.

To do this you must have at least the initial or even middle stage of the Great Circulation!

This Mr. Cui looks ordinary and is even younger than me, but how could his martial arts skills be so high?

When Zhao Xinchuan looked at Fang Muye again, he saw that he was standing tall with a smile on his face. Suddenly, he had a profound and majestic aura that was unpredictable.

Zhao Xinchuan clasped his fists and bowed to Fang Muye: "I didn't expect Mr. Cui to be such an expert. It's my fault that I was shortsighted."

As he said this, he turned around, facing away from Fang Muye and Zhou Xiyu, and mobilized all his internal energy, saying, "Uncle Master, Mr. Cui, please touch my back."

Fang Muye saw ripples of water appearing on Zhao Xinchuan's clothes on the back, and stretched out his hands as he was told and pressed them on his back. It felt hot to the touch, like boiling water, and he could feel his muscles wriggling under his clothes, each muscle coiling and entwining like a snake.

After Zhou Xiyu also touched his back, Zhao Xinchuan said in a deep voice: "The key to the Nine Dragons Combination is that the Qi flows through the central meridian, passes through the twelve floors, and comes out from the hand. The ring finger must be relaxed."

After saying that, he stood up and explained in detail the method of practicing the Nine Dragons Qigong.

Fang Muye understood why the ring finger needed to be loose.

Among the five fingers of the human body, the ring finger is the least flexible, but it is also the key to practice. If you can control the strength of the ring finger, you will be able to control the strength of the whole body when practicing Tai Chi and be able to relax and tighten freely.

When the ring finger is tight and the whole body is relaxed, soft force is exerted. When the ring finger is relaxed and the whole body is tight, hard force is exerted.

Loosening the ring finger is in line with the Tai Chi principle of appearing soft but actually being strong.

but.

Fang Muye said, "'Qi flowing through the central channel' is a method of Tantric Buddhism, and 'Twelve-story building' is a term of Taoism. No wonder this skill is called 'Combined Bi'. It seems to be a combination of the best of both schools. But where did the word 'Nine Dragons' come from?"

The Taoist theory of Qi and Meridians is the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, while the Tantric theory of Qi and Meridians is the Three Meridians and Seven Chakras. The three meridians are the central meridian, the left meridian and the right meridian.

Twelve-story tower is the Taoist name for the human throat. The Golden Elixir Yuan Ao says: "What is the Twelve-story tower? The human throat tube has twelve sections."

Zhou Xiyu said: "As far as I know, Tantric Buddhism believes that after opening the central channel, one can have nine great supernatural powers. The word 'Nine Dragons' may come from this. I just don't know how Senior Brother can understand the Tantric method?"

Zhao Xinchuan then said: "When Master was in Peking, he made a close friend who was a living Buddha of the Tantric Buddhism. Maybe he learned it from him."

The living Buddha of Tantric Buddhism has great accomplishments.

Fang Muye and Zhou Xiyu both nodded in relief. No wonder Peng Qianwu could achieve such a remarkable feat. It turned out that he had the help of an expert.

The three chatted for a while, and Zhao Xinchuan said goodbye because he had classes to teach in the morning.

Zhou Xiyu said: "If you have time in the future, you can come here to find me. It's also good to talk with someone."

"Okay, uncle-master." Zhao Xinchuan clasped his fists towards Zhou Xiyu and Fang Muye respectively, then turned and left.
