Chapter 117: Kurong Taoist Temple
Chapter 117: Kurong Taoist Temple
Inside the palace, Chengxuan Tower.
Four golden nanmu pillars run straight through the roof of the building, and are surrounded by corridor beams, rafters and purlins that are mortise and tenoned together to form a whole. The roof is covered with glazed yellow tiles. The structure is solemn and majestic. After reaching the top, you can overlook the tributary of Jianshui.
The building is four stories high. The first floor contains 36,000 books of low-grade martial arts, the second floor contains more than 7,000 books of middle-grade martial arts, and on the third floor, the number of high-grade martial arts drops sharply to 400 books. As for the fourth floor, which is higher up, there are only nine books.
On the fourth floor, which only Jin Ling could enter, scrolls and books were placed on the shelves, and the surface was covered with dust.
The black shadow retreated to the corner, and Jiang He browsed through the introductions of these martial arts one by one. They all corresponded to the excellent skill levels of the Silver Grandmaster.
The Palm of Seven Emotions and Six Desires was created by a great master of Qigong named Hun Dao Ren. It is able to borrow the emotional power of the surroundings and after becoming a top-grade warrior, it can be cultivated into a secret skill - the endless hatred.
The Secret of Heaven and Earth comes from the fundamental inheritance of Tantric Buddhism. It borrows the energy of heaven and earth and is divided into three levels: High as the Sky and Thick as the Earth. The two are combined to form a secret skill - Frying Human Longevity. Beiman Longcheng, the second best in the world, has already mastered this skill.
The Heart Sutra of Withering and Flourishing originated from the ancient Taoist priests of Withering and Flourishing. It is divided into three levels: the first level of Withering, the second level of Flourishing, and the third level of combined secret skills - Spring Breeze Blowing Dew, Withering and Flourishing Turn.
Jiang He picked up the Withering and Flourishing Heart Sutra. The entry requirements for this technique were not difficult, but a bit different. The first level of withering would reduce one's own state to a very weak level, making the true energy contain withering characteristics, which was most suitable for the old man to practice.
It is introduced in the technique that Taoist Ku Rong lost his family at the age of seventy, so he turned to practicing Taoism for revenge. He started very late, but he saw through the big issues and made rapid progress all the way. At the age of one hundred, he became a grandmaster and killed all his enemies that night.
And "Spring breeze blows the dew and the flowers wither and grow" is a secret technique created by Taoists after comprehending the growth and death of life and death, the ups and downs of human affairs, great joy and great sorrow.
In general, it is a transition from withering to flourishing.
After a warrior has mastered his training, when he uses his true energy on an enemy, it will contain withering characteristics, and when he uses it on himself, it will become healing energy.
After launching the secret skill and hitting the enemy, the enemy's healing will turn into self-harm, and the enemy's attack on itself will turn into healing. It lasts for five minutes and consumes a lot of energy.
"Is this still martial arts kung fu?"
Jiang He was surprised at the nature of this martial art. The secret technique of the Kuruo Heart Sutra probably also abides by the theory of status. Otherwise, even if he was facing a higher level than the Grand Master, he would dare to go over and give it a shot to see if it was better.
The problem with this technique is that once a young person starts practicing it, the withered state of the first level is difficult to remove, and they must cultivate to the second level before returning to normal.
Jiang He took out an aphid blood stone. The vitality inside was extremely rich, and it could even increase one's lifespan by ten days. This was something he got from the Leden Library. There were seventy-four of them in total, which could be used to quickly get rid of the withered state. The rich vitality met the second-level requirements and also helped to speed up the practice.
“I want this one.”
The shadow had no say in the selection, and even if the flower was chosen, it had nothing to do with him.
"The inheritance left by the Grand Master is all written with his will. Master, just stick the technique on your fontanelle. Now that the technique is passed on, please leave Chengxuan Tower immediately."
Jiang He pressed the technique against his fontanelle, and the words of his will entered his mind one after another.
Suddenly, a strong wind blew on the fourth floor of Chengxuan Building.
Dust flew up, and the black shadow was stunned and at a loss.
……
spiritual world.
Jiang He inexplicably came to a dilapidated Taoist temple.
It was pitch black all around, and the only thing in sight was a bonfire burning.
Gradually, the words came together to form the shape of a middle-aged Taoist priest.
He smiled gently and asked, "Any last wishes?"
"I can do it for you."
"After all, your misfortune makes me feel pity." "I have only just begun to glimpse a little bit of the mystery of withering and flourishing."
"The spring breeze blows the dew and the flowers wither and grow. To put it simply, it's a life-and-death struggle."
"I am a Grandmaster, and I have forged a silver will. In a spiritual contest, you are no match for me. Besides, I am not dead at all, I am just dormant in a withered state."
"You are here to replace the withered me."
"I'll go outside to replace you, Changrong."
Jiang He calmly sat down beside the fire and asked, "How do you become a grandmaster?"
It seems like the other party hasn't communicated with anyone for a long time.
Taoist Kurong exclaimed: "Between life and death, you have shown great perseverance. It's a pity for you."
"To become a Grandmaster, you need to meet three requirements: silver energy, silver body, and silver will."
"Can I practice secret techniques without learning martial arts?" Jiang He asked again.
Taoist Ku Rong replied, "Yes, but it is difficult, and the same is true for me."
Questions were raised and answered one after another.
Then, the question turned to details.
Taoist Ku Rong was a little impatient, but Jiang He said that this was his last wish.
It seemed like just a few days, but also like half a month had passed.
Taoist Ku Rong said coldly: "I have no patience."
Jiang He said nothing, pondering the cultivation experience carefully. A great master's answers to every question were simply priceless treasures.
Taoist Kuruo saw that he was obsessed with martial arts and stopped disturbing him, but went to the outside world on his behalf.
……
The fourth floor of Chengxuan Building.
Taoist Ku Rong descended into his physical body from the spiritual world composed of martial arts texts and immediately heard a prompt sound.
[Hint: An unknown soul has taken over the player's body]

[Judgment: Execute immediately]
"Where is the ghost?!"
Taoist Ku Rong roared in his heart, but after the decision to execute immediately was issued, the supreme power of origin did not give him any time to react.
An invisible and colorless vortex appeared, and Taoist Ku Rong's soul and true spirit were sucked away.
Jiang He returned to his body.
The black shadow saw the whole process, and the other party's face changed from relief to pride, then to confusion and anger, and finally from pleading to calmness.
The shadow said cautiously, "Uncle, just now..."
"Nothing happened." Jiang He looked calm.
The martial arts books have been broken, and the knowledge has flowed into my brain
The shadow lowered his head, "I'll lead you back."
