Travel through the heavens

After Li Qingluo left, Fang Muye walked into the darkroom and looked at the books in front of the bookcase one by one.

The doors of these bookcases all have the four characters "Langhuan Yudong" written horizontally, with only the vertical lines below filled with green paint that are different, including "Kunlun School", "Shaolin School", "Beggars' Gang", "Sichuan Qingcheng School", "Shandong Penglai School" and so on.

Fang Muye walked past until he saw a cabinet engraved with the eight words "The green ox goes west, the purple air comes from the east", and then he stopped.

The "Xiao Wuxiang Gong" he was looking for was in this cabinet.

Fang Muye pulled up the door and took out a pile of books and put them on the desk. There were eight books in total, with the corners rolled up, like old account books. From top to bottom, the cover of each book had the order of the eight heavenly stems "甲", "乙", "丙", "丁", "戊", "己", "庚", and "辛" written on it.

Fang Muye opened the "A" volume and saw a few lines of words written on the first page: "The ancients who were good at practicing Taoism were subtle, profound and incomprehensible. Because they were incomprehensible, they were forced to behave in a way that made them calm, like wading through a river in winter, and hesitant, like fearing their neighbors. Who can make turbid water clear by being still? Who can make it alive by being still? Those who uphold this Tao do not seek to be full. Because they are not full, they can be covered and become new."

This passage comes from Chapter 15 of Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching".

Fang Muye thought: That’s right!

"Xiao Wuxiang Gong" is originally a Taoist learning, emphasizing tranquility and inaction, and the wandering of the mind in the void. Compared with the "colorless and formless" learning in Buddhist martial arts, although the name is similar, the essence is very different.

"Small and formless", small can leave no trace, so the word "small" is used as the prefix. As long as you have this skill and know the moves of other martial arts, relying on its subtle and profound power, you can use other people's unique skills and even surpass the original ones. It is difficult for people who have not learned this skill to distinguish.

After thinking for a while, Fang Muye turned to the second page, which contained lines such as "On a certain day of a certain month, the cash was so much money, and a certain number of pig hearts and lungs were purchased."

This household accounting method, which looks like buying vegetables and meat, is designed to prevent the book from falling into the hands of irrelevant people and being recognized as the mental method for practicing supreme internal energy.

However, Fang Muye understood the mystery. The time and money in the front refer to breathing in and out, "shou" is inhaling, and "fu" is exhaling. The ingredients in the back refer to the meridians of the human body, and "pig heart, pig lungs, and pig intestines" refer to the "heart meridian, lung meridian, and intestinal meridian."

For example, "On the second day of the first lunar month, I collected eight cents and nine cents of silver and purchased a pair of pig lungs, two pairs of pig intestines, and a pair of pig hearts" means "On the second day, inhale gently eight times, hold your breath nine times, then circulate your internal breath in the lung meridian once, in the intestinal meridian twice, and in the heart meridian once."

Different from the martial arts in the world of "The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain", the mainstream methods of practicing qi are derived from Taoist exercises. They practice the eight extraordinary meridians and develop internal qi. There are also rare and extraordinary skills that practice the twelve regular meridians and develop true qi.

"Xiao Wuxiang Gong" practices both the twelve main meridians and the eight extraordinary meridians. There are eight books in total, one book for every two meridians of the twelve main meridians, and one book for every four meridians of the eight extraordinary meridians.

After Fang Muye read all of them, he returned the eight books to their original places, then sat cross-legged and began to practice according to the instructions in the books.

The "Taishang Huanzhen Pian" he practiced is the supreme Taoist method, "Liangyi Taihe Gong" is also a unique Taoist skill, and "Yuanji Shu" is a miraculous skill that is in line with the Taoist Yin and Yang theory. The internal energy in the eight extraordinary meridians and the true energy in the twelve regular meridians are both extremely strong. With the blessing of many aspects, he easily practiced the "Xiao Wuxiang Gong" and stepped into another new world in martial arts.

When he opened his eyes, it was already dawn. Fang Muye stood up and went to the first bookcase near the entrance of Langhuan Jade Cave. He opened it and took out the martial arts books inside to read.

He read it carefully and slowly, and occasionally, when he was inspired, he would demonstrate the martial arts moves recorded in the book with his hands and feet.

The martial arts classics stored in the Langhuan Jade Cave cover more than a hundred famous gangs in the martial arts world, and there are over a thousand volumes on internal skills and martial arts. Fang Muye read them one by one, and after five days, he had only read about two or three tenths of them.

Although Fang Muye did not finish reading all the books in the collection, he had a general understanding of the martial arts in the world of "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils".

The methods of practicing Qi in this world include practicing the twelve main meridians, practicing the eight extraordinary meridians, and practicing a combination of the twelve main meridians and the eight extraordinary meridians. The "Qi" that is practiced is neither called "internal Qi" nor "true Qi", but is generally called "internal power" and "internal strength".

On this day, Fang Muye was sitting in a room connected to the Langhuan Jade Cave, looking at the Dongyue School's secret book "Thirty-Six Moves of Flowing Cloud Hands". Some of the moves recorded in it were much more exquisite than the ones Chen Taisheng used that day, and were more in line with the imagery of this set of martial arts.

Suddenly, Fang Muye heard a rustling sound downstairs, someone stepped on dry grass, and then heard light footsteps. This person walked upstairs, and after a moment, the door of this room was pushed open.

Fang Muye looked up and saw a young girl in a lotus-colored gauze shirt standing at the door. She had a slender figure, dignified and graceful, and gentle and charming demeanor. Looking at her appearance, she had bright eyes, a charming look that conveyed affection, bright red lips, white teeth, skin as white as snow, and as graceful as a virgin.

Although she looks somewhat similar to Li Qingluo, she is much more beautiful. Her beauty is innate, unpretentious, and beyond words.

Although Fang Muye had seen many beauties, he couldn't help but be stunned at this moment, thinking to himself: Wang Yuyan is really as beautiful as a fairy, no wonder she can make Duan Yu so infatuated and call her "Fairy Sister" all the time.

Moreover, Wang Yuyan is not only beautiful, but also extremely intelligent and talented. Her amazing memory has reached the level of mastery.

Not only is she familiar with the moves and methods of various martial arts schools in the world, she also has a deep understanding of the actual combat skills of the moves. She has even reached the level where she can enable people to use martial arts just right and turn defeat into victory with just a casual pointer. Her extensive knowledge of martial arts is enough to put a group of famous martial arts masters to shame.

But such a talented and beautiful woman fell in love with the wrong person, and her final ending was not a happy one.

Wang Yuyan, who had just pushed the door open and was about to enter, stopped in her tracks when she saw a strange man sitting in the room. She was stunned for a moment, then she opened her mouth slightly and exclaimed, "Ah," "Who are you?" Her voice was soft and melodious, very pleasant to the ears.

Fang Muye smiled and said, "I am Fang Muye."

Wang Yuyan thought for a moment and then said in surprise, "Ah! You are the person who broke into the island a few days ago. Why haven't you left yet? Instead, you are still in my Langhuan Jade Cave?"

But that day, Li Qingluo brought Fang Muye to Langhuan Jade Cave without telling anyone in the manor. The servants of Mantuo Manor had not seen Fang Muye for several days and thought that he had left the island.

Wang Yuyan was curious about what happened that day, so she asked the maid and got some information. She also thought that Fang Muye had left long ago. She wanted to check the martial arts books in the Langhuan Jade Cave today, but she didn't expect to run into Fang Muye as soon as she arrived.

Fang Muye smiled and said, "This is the agreement between your mother and me. Since your mother didn't tell you, she must have her reasons. You don't need to worry or be afraid. If you want to read the book, just go and read it."

Wang Yuyan hesitated for a moment. She didn't want to see an unrelated man from outside, let alone be in the same room with him. However, she wanted to read the martial arts books in detail so that she could explain the matter to her cousin. In the end, she bowed to Fang Muye and walked towards the Langhuan Jade Cave.
