Chapter 8 The Bodhisattva Snake
Discovering the sword technique map of "Nine Swords of Dugu" in Dugu Qiubai's former residence is definitely a reward that far exceeds Meng Xunzhen's expectations. He carefully looked at the mantras and graphics on the cave wall and found that nine familiar move names are "general formula", "breaking knife style", "breaking sword style", "breaking gun style", "breaking whip style", "breaking rope style", "breaking palm style", "breaking arrow style", and "breaking Qi style". At the end of the picture and text, there is another line of small characters:
"A younger generation can understand the sword through my suicide note, and you can pass on the unique skills of the nine swords that integrate the essence of my life's martial arts. You must remember that even if you learn my nine swords, you must not be limited to the creation of the method. You should get the move and then forget it. If one day you become a young man, I will be very happy!"
After reading this passage, Meng Xunzhen understood Dugu Qiubai's painstaking efforts to set up this mechanism to hide the sword technique. He knelt down again in front of the pile of stones where Dugu Qiubai buried his bones, and solemnly swears: "Disciple Meng Xunzhen, today I am fortunate to pass on the magical skills of his predecessors. I vow to be the ultimate sword art to comfort his predecessors' earnest hope!"
The magic eagle beside him seemed to know that his old friend's unique skills had been passed down, and he kept shouting happily.
Since then, Meng Xunzhen has lived in Dugu Qiubai's former residence, and he only studied the secrets of Dugu's Nine Swords every day. Although Dugu's Nine Swords are known as the Nine Swords, they are the essence of the lifelong efforts of a generation of swordsman masters. They are profound and profound, almost endless. Even though Meng Xunzhen has a deep foundation and a far better understanding than those of the world, it takes quite a while to practice. In a blink of an eye, although he has kept the key points of the Nine Swords engraved on the cave wall in his heart, he only has 30 to 40% of the things he can understand and apply.
On this day, Meng Xun was practicing sword skills in an open space outside the cave. Suddenly, the divine eagle strode into the valley, and the two white eagles glided from the air to the ground. Under their claws, each grabbed a pig that was half a big and not small.
These days, Meng Xunzhen only focused on practicing swords, but the Divine Eagle seemed to be unwilling to be beautiful in the past, and wanted to personally train two "successors" out. Therefore, it took two little guys out every day to harm the snakes, insects and beasts in the nearby mountains and forests. In actual combat, he taught the Double Eagle the method of striking prey that had learned Dugu Qiubai's sword technique and integrated its animal instinct to attack prey. In this way, Meng Xunzhen had a good time, and the three Eagles would bring some fresh game back every day.
Meng Xunzhen finished using the sword technique along the way, and realized that he had made great progress. He was very happy. After he collected the sword, he wanted to wash and clean up the two mountain pigs that the Bai Diao had hunted back. The divine eagle suddenly came up to pull the corner of his clothes with a hook beak, and then walked out of the valley. Meng Xunzhen and the divine eagle had been together for more than a month. As soon as he understood that this action was to follow it himself, he greeted the two white sculptures and followed.
After the God Eagle left the valley, it turned northeast, and walked about seven or eight miles away. A hidden valley appeared in front of me. However, the God Eagle stood tall at the entrance of the valley, making a long and cold voice full of fighting spirit into the valley. The two white eagles in the sky also made fun of each other, singing and singing non-stop.
Meng Xun was really wondering what these three guys were doing. Suddenly, he smelled a strong smell of fishy smell in his nose. Then he saw the weeds and shrubs growing at the mouth of the valley shaking, four feet as thick as arms, golden scales all over his body, fleshy horns, and ganglioned fangs rushing out.
"Bosi Qu Snake!" Meng Xunzhen immediately recognized their species from the strange shapes of these strange snakes. Speaking of which, one of his purpose in coming to Xiangyang this time was to find this strange snake that was almost extinct in the world.
Seeing the four bosque snakes coming out, the eagle stretched out its wings and patted Meng Xunzhen's shoulders, and then pointed to the two snakes on the left.
Meng Xun was really versatile and smiled and said, "Brother Diao wants to try my best. Compare me who will kill this snake first?"
The divine eagle screamed softly and walked towards the two snakes on the right. When the four snakes saw the divine eagle approaching, they immediately formed a snake formation to face each other, and their heads were angry, and the snake believed in swallowing and spitting, and hissing.
Meng Xunzhen smiled and said, "Brother Diao has such a good mood, I should accompany you." After that, he stepped forward and exuded a momentum to force the two snakes on the left. The animals felt the most sensitive. The two snakes sensed Meng Xunzhen's momentum and immediately turned the snake's head towards him.
Each person and one eagle were all adopted the strategy of "striking the people after the fight" and stood quietly about three meters away from the four snakes.
Although the four Pusiqu snakes were alien species, their spiritual intelligence was not as good as the spiritual sculpture that was about to become a spirit, nor as good as Meng Xunzhen, a human known as the genius of all things. They confronted their opponents for a while, and then they could no longer suppress the ferociousness of the beasts. They all shot the powerful snake tail on the ground, and their bodies covered with golden scales turned into four golden lights, shooting at the divine sculpture and Meng Xunzhen at an extremely fast speed.
The two snakes shot towards the Divine Eagle went up and down: one flew up in the air, and the sharp teeth of the mouth shaped like a barb were chewing at the hemochromatic sarcoma on the top of the Divine Eagle; the other one was extremely sinisterly flying against the ground, and its slender and flexible body was like a soft rope wrapped around the Divine Eagle's legs.
The divine eagle was not in a hurry. It jumped upwards about two feet, avoiding the snake with its legs wrapped around. Then it grabbed it with its claws at the same time, grabbed the snake's neck with its claw, and grabbed the snake's waist with its claw. At the same time, it twisted its neck and looked at the beak in the air. It was really fast, accurate, ruthless, and stable, and was well versed in the swordsmanship. It was pecking on the spine three inches behind the snake's head. This was the most fatal and fragile key to the snake's body. Although the divine eagle pecked the pecking force, it was enough to break this spine. Once the joint was broken, the snake immediately lost all its ability to move and fell from the air like a dead flesh. At this time, the divine eagle also grabbed the snake below and fell down. After its claws landed on the ground, it immediately struck left and right. With a "click", the snake's extremely tough body was actually pulled into two pieces by it with unparalleled divine power!
The two snakes attacked Meng Xunzhen, but they rushed towards him side by side, and the two snakes were only one foot apart.
Meng Xunzhen closed his eyes slightly, and a ray of light came out from the gap between his eyelids to firmly cover the two snakes. When the two snakes shot closer, his eyes suddenly opened, and the long sword behind him turned into a green light and swung it out, drawing a beautiful arc in the air. When the two snakes flew and the corpse fell, the long sword had returned to the box. Over the past month, he studied the Nine Swords of Dugu, not only understood many exquisite sword moves, but also improved his sword cultivation. Just now, he drew his sword with his backhand, swung his sword to kill the snake, and put his sword back into the sheath. The whole sword technique was like a perfect circle. The meaning of "no beginning and no end, endless" contained in the sword technique has already gained the essence of Tai Chi sword technique.
Between the lightning and fire, each person and the eagle almost completely solved their opponents. The eagle yelled a few times, and the screams were filled with refreshing pleasure. Meng Xunzhen also laughed to the sky, and the laughter echoed among the mountains and forests, and it lasted for a long time, buzzing the forests.
After the divine eagle kept its voice, it lowered its head and pecked at the abdomen of the four snake corpses several times, and skillfully cut out four dark purple snake galls. It first raised its head without hesitation and swallowed one, and then brought the remaining three to Meng Xunzhen and the two white eagles.
The two little guys, Ginhun and Yupo, had already been drooling when they saw the snake gall, but they had not done their best when they killed the snake, so they naturally felt embarrassed to come up to share the spoils afterwards. At this moment, when the god eagle generously distributed the snake gall to him, they all shouted happily and couldn't wait to swallow the snake gall.
The snake gall of the Pusiqu snake is a strange treasure. After ordinary people or birds and beasts take it, they can condense their muscles and bones and increase their strength. People who practice martial arts eat it will also have the wonderful function of expanding the meridians and increasing internal strength. However, all treasures of heaven and earth cannot be taken at will. The Divine Eagle has been used to eating this thing for many years, and the body has developed resistance early, so there will naturally be no reaction after eating it. However, Ginto Soul and Yu Po swallowed the snake gall in one mouthful and immediately had fun. They just swallowed the snake gall, and immediately stood staggeringly like drunken wine, and then they fell to the ground.
Meng Xunzhen was startled and hurriedly ran over to check it out. Only then did he find that they had just fainted, so he felt relieved. He didn't dare to take snake galls in this dangerous place in front of the door of the Pusqu snake's house. He immediately put the snake galls he had assigned into his bag, leaned over and carried the two rash little guys, and returned to the valley where Dugu Qiubai lived in seclusion with the Divine Eagle.
After returning, Meng Xunzhen asked Shen Diao to protect the Dharma and take care of the two white eagles, and then went into the cave to prepare for taking the snake gallbladder. He frowned slightly and sent the snake gallbladder full of fishy smell to his mouth. With a light bit, the gallbladder broke into a small mouth, and the fishy and bitter bile inside filled it. He finally swallowed it. After a while, a heat flow surged out of the dantian. He hurriedly sat in meditation and regulated his breathing, guiding the heat flow to flow in the meridians with the innate mental method of innate martial arts. He suddenly felt extremely smooth. Many Guanmai acupoints that are not easy to reach on weekdays are unobstructed. After nine cycles of practice, the heat flow returned to the dantian and merged into the innate true qi he had worked hard for more than ten years to cultivate. Naturally, his internal strength also increased a layer.
From this day on, Meng Xunzhen went to the valley with Sanyu to hunt the Pusiqu snake every five days, and cut off the snake gallbladder to eat. At first, they were Meng Xunzhen and the Divine Eagle. Gradually, the Gintama and Jade Soul double eagle increased their body and their strength increased day by day as they continued to swallow the snake gallbladder. Although it was still difficult to compare with the old senior Shenyu, they also had the divine power of a tiger and leopard. After consciously increasing their strength, the proud double eagle seemed unwilling to live such a "eating for nothing" life and took the initiative to join the ranks of snake catching.
After three months, Meng Xunzhen had 20 to 30 snake galls entered his abdomen, and each snake gall made the true qi in his body deeper. The accumulation of quantity finally brought about qualitative changes. A few days ago, Meng Xunzhen, who had a premonition in his cave, suddenly felt that the true qi in his dantian, which was more than three times thicker than before, was restless, and rushed downwards into the "perineal acupoint" at the bottom of the Ren meridian.
As if a huge amount of true energy poured in, Meng Xunzhen suddenly felt that the "perineal acupoint" was swelling and painful. At that moment, he almost thought that he would be like a pressure cooker filled with steam and blocked the exhaust hole, and a "blow" sound exploded. He knew that this was a crucial pass. Once he crossed it, he would jump into the dragon gate and soar into the sky. He immediately gritted his teeth and endured it silently.
Suddenly, the "perineal acupoint" and the "Changqiang acupoint" located at the beginning of the Du meridian were suddenly connected. The long-accumulated true energy rushed away like a flood that broke through the dam, flowing through the "Changqiang acupoint" and then went up the Du meridian, passing through the Yaoshu, Yaoyangguan, Mingmen, Xuanshu, the spine, the center, the tendons shrink, the Yang, Lingtai, Shendao, Body pillar, Taodao, Dazhui, Yamen, Fengfu, Naohu, Qiangjian, and the back top, and directly to the "Baihui" at the intersection of the center line of the top of the head and the two ear tips, and the cave is at the peak.
After the "Baihui acupoint" was opened, Meng Xunzhen suddenly felt a window open above her head, and a trace of indescribable clear spiritual energy was injected from the outside world, integrating with his own innate true energy. After obtaining this mysterious energy that was wandering between heaven and earth, the innate true energy in Meng Xunzhen's body immediately became particularly lively, as if he had life and spirituality.
The true qi lingers in the "Baihui point" and turns downward, passes through the front top, fontanelle, upper star, Shenting, Sulu, Shuigou, Duidou, and finally reaches the end of the Du meridian, and is located at the "gingival point" at the connection between the upper gum and the lip lace. This is the intersection of the Ren and Du meridians, and further down is the "Chengji point" at the end of the Ren and Du meridians.
Unlike the difficulty and danger of connecting the two acupoints of "perineal yin" and "Changqiang", the spiritual innate true qi is like a clear stream in the mountains. Naturally, due to the injection of "chengji", there is no stagnation at all.
After passing through the "Chengji Point", the true qi goes down along the Ren meridian, passes through Lianquan, Tiantu, Xuanji, Huagai, Zigong, Yutang, Tanzhong, Zhongting, Jiuwei, Juque, Shangwan, Zhongwan, Jianli, Xiawan, Shuifen, Shenque, Yinjiao, Qihai, Shimen, Guanyuan, Zhongji, Qugu, and finally returns to the perineum.
The true qi passes through the perineum and continues to flow in the Ren and Du meridians, moving faster and faster. In an instant, it travels thirty-six cycles in a row, completing the so-called "big cycle transport".
Meng Xunzhen, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly felt bright light shining in front of her eyes, and there was air everywhere in her limbs and bones. She couldn't help but open her mouth and let out a long roar. The roar was as straight as a dragon roaring in the sea, and the tiger roared in the clouds and mountains, teleporting out from afar, shaking the leaves of the trees in the mountains. All kinds of snakes, insects, birds and beasts were panicked, running around and making a ball.
Meng Xunzhen stood up and walked out of the cave. Although he no longer meditated and regulated his breathing, the true energy in his body still ran through the meridians. Although the speed was a little slow, he stopped for no moment.
