Chapter 129: Old and New Friends Meet

The bamboo raft was originally floating on the clouds, but when it saw the dragon and tiger, it slowly sank under the clouds and fell into the Xianding Mountain.

As soon as they reached the sky above Xianding Mountain, someone came to pick them up. The Taoist priest from Longhu Mountain saw the people sitting in the bamboo raft from a distance and called out their names loudly.
"The leader of Sanqing Mountain has arrived with his disciples!"

The Taoist priest who led the way led the bamboo raft to the top of a hill, and everyone got off the raft.

"Master Lu, the ceremony will begin tomorrow. Please follow me to Zi Que Tower to stay for one night."

Lu Duxing smiled and replied, "Please."

So, several people stayed in a high building, which was built of purple wood. There were magpie reliefs on the doors, windows, beams and pillars. The building was built in a plum forest. The plum blossoms are spring plums, and at this time, the plum blossoms are dotted with rich fragrance.

The guide escorted the twenty or so people from Sanqing Mountain into the building and said,
"Master Lu, fellow Taoist priests, this mountain is called Yiting Mountain. Those who rest here are guests. There are delicious food, hot springs, a library, a martial arts arena, etc. on the mountain. Please do as you please."

"Thank you."

The Taoist priest bowed and left.

Several teachers went upstairs to rest, while the disciples, who were visiting Mount Longhu for the first time, decided to walk around together.

Zhu He Rong, Zeng Jinian and Xiao Miaoyu were all familiar with Cheng Xinzhan and had a life-and-death friendship with him, so they came to look for Xinzhan to go out for a walk together and brought two other people with them.

"Xinzhan, uncle, let me introduce you two."

At this time, Zhu Heyou pulled a young man over to Cheng Xinzhan and said,

“Xinzhan, this is my junior uncle-in-law, his Taoist name is Min, and he is the last disciple of my master, Master Wanshan. His common name is Fang Fengyi, you should know him.

"Uncle, this is Cheng Yifu Cheng Xinzhan. He is so famous that I don't need to introduce him any further."

Cheng Xinzhan looked over and saw that this person was clearly a very young man, younger than Zhu Heyou, and even younger than himself. However, since he was of the same generation and was from the same lineage as Zhu Heyou, Zhu Heyou had to honestly call him Junior Uncle.

Cheng Xinzhan naturally didn't need it. Not to mention that they were not in the same lineage, if we really talked about seniority in the mountain, Xinzhan was still his great master.

Cheng Xinzhan naturally knew Fang Fengyi, the Taoist who was on the Nandou Foodie List. He also knew that the owner of Ziyan Mountain was surnamed Fang.

"It is a sensitive and boundless view."

He said hello.

In the sect, except for Grandmaster Tongxuan and his master, he had never seen anyone older than him, so when he addressed people, he basically looked at their age. If they were older than him, he would call them "Daoist Brother". If they were older, he would call them "Daoist Master". If they were even older, he would call them "Daoist Master". If they had positions, he would call them by their positions, and if they had listened to his lectures, he would call them "School Master". He never looked at the level of their cultivation.

If you meet someone younger than you, you will naturally call him or her by name.

"I've met my great uncle."

Fang Weimin was a very polite person. He bowed and addressed him as "Master Uncle". If someone was three generations older than him, he should be called "Master Uncle" no matter how old he was. Otherwise, adding a series of "Tai" characters in front of the name would be very tiring.

Cheng Xinzhan was shocked. He thought Daozi would be very arrogant, but he never thought he was still a conservative person. He said no,
"Weimin, we can just be friends as equals."

However, Fang Weimin was a bit stubborn. He kept shaking his head, not saying anything and refusing to change his words.

Cheng Xinzhan probably knew why Master Wanshan gave him the Taoist name Min.

"Little Taoist, you don't have to worry about him. He is just a piece of wood."

At this time, another young man spoke.

Cheng Xinzhan looked over and knew at a glance that this was a completely different person from Fang Weimin.

Fang Weimin spoke in a serious tone and walked steadily, but the man who just spoke was a bohemian person. To put it bluntly, he was a slacker. He was wearing a thin linen shirt embroidered with gold thread, which was embroidered into a phoenix chrysanthemum. His collar was wide open, revealing his chest. At this time, he looked over with slanted eyebrows and raised eyes.

Cheng Xinzhan was in a trance. Brother Miaoyuan...

"Look with your heart, look with your heart!"

Zeng Jinian patted Cheng Xinzhan on the shoulder.

"Ah, I'm here!"

Cheng Xinzhan suddenly woke up.

Zeng Jinian sighed silently in his heart. He was present at the first battle in West Kunlun. He also had a deep impression of Wang Miaoyuan and could probably guess what Cheng Xinzhan was thinking.

"Xinzhan, let me introduce you. This is my great uncle, Master Yingshan's last disciple, Zheng Miaoji, also known as Zheng Weicheng."

You can tell from his common name Cheng Xinzhan that he is another Taoist priest. The owner of Shilin Mountain was surnamed Zheng. He never expected that his son would go to Toujian Mountain.

"Uncle, this is..."

"Jinian doesn't need to be mentioned. I know that Cheng Yifu, Cheng Nandou, Cheng Du'e, and Cheng Xinzhan are all him."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Xinzhan waved his hands and said, "Just call me Xinzhan."

He broke through a realm two months ago, successfully broke through the palace, and was on the Nandou list again, so the name Cheng Nandou was mentioned again. After seven years of breaking through the palace, this time he was ranked fifth, the same as when he was eating air, and the fifth star god among the six stars of the Nandou was Du'e Star God, so some people also called him Du'e.

However, Cheng Xinzhan was not familiar with these two Taoists. When he was in the sect before, these two were out looking for Gangsha. When they came back, he was traveling outside again. Moreover, there was a huge difference in their realms before, and these two Taoists acted quite low-key, so it was normal that they did not know each other.

They were all young people and quickly became familiar with each other. They formed a group of six people, all of whom were in the second realm. Naturally, their conversation would turn to topics such as Gangsha and supernatural powers.

Gangsha and Shentong are two paths of cultivation in the second realm.

Gangsha is the inspiration born from the combination of innate yin and yang and acquired phenomena. It is said to be spiritual energy but cannot be directly breathed in and taken. However, if it is not spiritual energy, it can circulate qi throughout the body after being refined, and can also form golden elixir and Yuan Fu. In short, it is a very mysterious thing.

Besides, Gang Qi and Sha Qi are extremely vicious and fierce things. If you are not careful during refining, all the acupoints may be pierced. Therefore, the refining of Gang Qi and Sha Qi is replaced by "subduing dragons and taming tigers" in Neidan terminology, and the emphasis is on the word "subduing".

But if Gangsha is subdued, there will be many conveniences. In addition to the most important harmony of yin and yang to form the golden elixir, Gangsha can also form the Yuanfu.

In Cheng Xinzhan's twelve-story building, he used the "Yangming Yuntang Gang" to form the Cloud Root Yuan Fu. He could spit out mirages by opening his mouth and weaving illusions in an instant.

In addition to forming the golden elixir and the Yuan Fu, Gangsha also has a great use, which is to attach itself to weapons.

Take the flying sword as an example. A flying sword with sword aura and a flying sword without sword aura are two different things. For instance, in Cheng Xinzhan's left eye, the "Taodu" is attached with the "Yangming Yuntang Gang", so its power is naturally extraordinary. It is precisely because of the sword aura attached to it that he was able to use the "Taodu" to cut open the Dharma body of the three-realm demon Shang Sansi on the battlefield of West Kunlun.

In addition to collecting Gangsha, there is also a highway in the second realm.

That is the supernatural power.

The name of the second realm is "Life Treasure". "Life Treasure" is the treasure of the physical body, which refers to the hundred orifices of the body.

Humans are the most intelligent creatures in the world, and all things that take shape are in human form, so there is a reason for this. Every acupoint in the human body has innate properties and acquired effects. As long as you open up the acupoints and understand their innate divinity, you can develop supernatural powers.

In fact, being able to open up the five organs in one state can be considered a supernatural power. The heart transports essence and blood, the liver releases emotions, the spleen transports and transforms nutrients, the lungs breathe in essence, and the kidneys store essence and conduct sex. These seem to be no different from the five internal organs of ordinary people, but in fact they are very different.

Mortals have weak Qi and blood, and after Jiazi, their Qi and blood will be damaged, but if the heart palace is opened, Qi and blood will still be surging at the age of 100. Mortals breathe in and out for only a moment, but if the lung palace is opened, breathing will be slow and long, and the time of breathing in and out can be equivalent to a hundred times of that of mortals. Mortals will dry up after half a century, but if the kidney palace is opened, the kidney fluid will still be full after a hundred years.

These supernatural powers act within the physical body, so they are generally not mentioned deliberately.

What people really talk about is the magical powers that can be used in fighting.

For example, after opening their nasal orifices, some people can practice the magical power of "shaking the sky drum". After opening their ear orifices, some people can practice the magical power of "wind-catching ears". In addition, there are other famous magical powers such as "clairvoyance", "sky-covering hands", "sky-imprisoning fingers" and "six-meridians divine sword".

Cheng Xinzhan's Nine Yang Reshape Dan Pupil is considered a magical power.

In addition, there is another benefit that must be mentioned about opening up acupoints and spiritual paths, and that is the storage of magical power.

When fighting with others, as long as there are many people and the time is long, the biggest problem that every cultivator needs to face is the exhaustion of magic power. Even for cultivators in the fifth realm, with huge amounts of magic power, there will be a time when it is completely consumed.

At this time, as long as there are enough acupoints opened up in the body, more magic power can be stored, which is an advantage that cannot be ignored when fighting.

However, human energy is limited, and supernatural powers, secret techniques, and the Heavenly Gangs and Earthly Fiends are not common things, so a person in the second realm will often focus on developing along one path.

Of course, refining the two parts of Gangsha, one yin and one yang, and opening up the Huangting Qiao are the two most basic elements in breaking through two and entering three.

The five people around Cheng Xinzhan discussed these two routes.

Fang Weimin, who has the highest seniority, is following the path of divine communication. He has already found two of his desired Gangsha, but is not in a hurry to form the elixir. Instead, he is concentrating on exploring the key points of life storage and strengthening his foundation.

The next one, Zheng Miaoji, took the path of Gangsha. He hadn't found the spiritual Gang he wanted yet, but he already had four of them. He practiced the Yangqi School among the magic swords, and practiced the metal element among the five elements. He melted the evil spirit into the magic sword, and now the sword evil is very powerful.

Zhu He Yong also cultivated supernatural powers. As far as Cheng Xinzhan knew, he had a supernatural power called "Heart Fire", which was very amazing. He could start a fire in the palm of his hand, and the change of the fire power was completely determined by his heart. This was completely different from using the Five Elements to condense a fire in the palm of his hand. His "Heart Fire" supernatural power was not very effective in fighting against people, but it could be used to make pills in the palm of his hand, which was very amazing. Zeng Jinian was determined to follow the path of Gangsha, and use Gangsha to nourish the flying sword, but he didn't have much Gangsha collected now.

Xiao Miaoyu is determined to follow the path of supernatural powers. Now he seems to be practicing a supernatural power similar to "words become reality". If he succeeds in it, combined with his talismans and magic weapons, he will definitely be very powerful.

How do I choose?
Listening to their discussion, Cheng Xinzhan asked himself silently.

Is there a way to kill two birds with one stone?
There should be.

Because he had come up with the idea of ​​using the Yang Palace to refine the Yang Sword when he was in the first realm, he now has a "Yangming Yuntang Gang" hidden in his left eye, which is not only refining the Yang Sword "Taodu", but also enhancing the power of the "Nine Yang Huanxing Dantong".

But can this method be applied to other acupoints?
It's hard to say.

This is because Gangsha is rare, and it is rare for various elements like Yangdianqiao, Taodu sword, Jiuyang Huanxing Dantong and Yangming Yuntang Gang to be compatible.

"It's Cheng Yifu!"

He was thinking, but suddenly a shout interrupted his thoughts.

He looked in the direction of the voice and saw a man of similar age, not from Sanqing Mountain. He looked familiar, but he couldn't remember who he was.

"Master Yi Fu, I am Du Quanxian from Gezhao Mountain. You may not remember me, but I remember you. A few years ago in West Kunlun, I went to your place to get a talisman!"

"oh oh!"

Cheng Xinzhan remembered.

"How did you become? I didn't see you again on the battlefield. Did you get hurt when you were captured by the demon from the Five Ghosts Sect?"

The man said with concern.

Cheng Xinzhan smiled and replied, "Nothing, nothing."

The two chatted for a while, and the man saw that Cheng Xinzhan and his fellow disciples were waiting, so he didn't talk for long, but just said that they would meet again when they had the chance.

"Xinzhan Daoyou!"

Cheng Xinzhan had just said goodbye to Gezhaoshan when he heard someone calling him again. He looked and saw a man in a blue robe approaching quickly.

“I never thought I’d meet fellow Daoist Xinzhan here!”

The man in blue robe quickly came to Cheng Xinzhan.

"Fellow Daoist Lan!"

Cheng Xinzhan also recognized the person. It was Lan Yuqing from Mount Lushan. He had met him at the sword-fighting party of Huanzhu Louzhu. This man used sword energy to form a formation, which left a deep impression on Xinzhan.

"We had a brief encounter in Baiyujing back then, and it's been a long time since we last met. Fellow Daoist Xinzhan, have you entered the second realm? Did the damage to your flying sword affect your cultivation?"

Lan Yuqing asked.

Cheng Xinzhan smiled and said, "It's okay. I have already entered the second realm. It happened a few months ago."

"it is good!"

Lan Yuqing clapped his hands, "Fellow Daoist Xinzhan, we must have another competition this time!"

Lan Yuqing had been brooding over his last loss for a long time, and he reviewed the game many times, wanting to have another try.

Cheng Xinzhan smiled and nodded, "I'll definitely have a chance!"

"Okay, okay, then I won't delay Xinzhan anymore."

Lan Yuqing left with a smile.

"Xinzhan is indeed famous. There are so many familiar people who come to participate in the Dragon and Tiger Dharma Assembly."

Xiao Miaoyu said with a smile.

He also participated in the West Kunlun War, but there were so many people who participated in the West Kunlun War, who knew who? The only thing they knew was Cheng Yifu, the Cheng Yifu who escaped from the hands of the Three Realms Demon.

Cheng Xinzhan waved his hand, "It's just a coincidence, just a coincidence."

They had just taken two steps when they heard another sound.
"Brother Xinzhan!"

Cheng Xinzhan had no choice but to follow the direction of the voice again, only to find a man and a woman walking side by side.

Huh?
Cheng Xinzhan was a little confused this time, because these were two unfamiliar faces.

"Who are you two?"

He asked, cupping his hands.

The boy and girl who approached looked at each other and smiled.
"Brother Dao, I am Meng Xuqi/Meng Xuyi!"

Cheng Xinzhan blinked when he heard that and looked at the two carefully. Are they Meng Xuqi and Meng Xuyi from the Shenxiao Sect? Why don't they look alike at all? This is the first time I've seen them. They are still children!

"Brother Dao, you haven't changed at all, but my sister and I are already adults."

Meng Xuqi said with a smile.

Cheng Xinzhan nodded happily, which reminded him of the first time he attracted thunder. It had been four or five years ago. They should have been eleven or twelve years old then, and now they should be fifteen or sixteen years old. But they had really grown a lot taller, and their appearance had changed a lot.

"Is Taoist Master Yibi here?"

Cheng Xinzhan asked. He had a very good impression of their master. If he also came to Longhu Mountain, he should take the time to pay a visit.

However, as soon as Cheng Xinzhan finished speaking, the eyes of the young man and the girl darkened, and Meng Xuyi said,

"Brother Dao, our master has reached the end of his life span and has passed away."

"This……"

Cheng Xinzhan choked up when he heard this, and then apologized repeatedly.

"I'm so sorry, I didn't know the old Taoist priest had passed away. I'm so sorry, so sorry!"

But the two siblings quickly adjusted themselves, and Meng Xuyi said,
"It's okay. My brother and I were by your side when you left. You have no regrets."

"That's fine, that's fine."

Cheng Xinzhan said in a low voice.

"Then you are busy now. When you are free, we will visit you and ask you for advice on thunder magic."

Meng Xuqi said.

"Okay, okay, we're just discussing this with each other."

Cheng Xinzhan replied.

The five people waiting on the side, except Fang Weimin, couldn't help but come over to make fun of them. While chatting, they came to a brightly lit tall building, from which came the smell of wine.

"Drink a pot."

Zheng Miaoji's eyes lit up.

"Drink a pot."

When old and new friends got together, Cheng Xinzhan naturally couldn't hold back his thirst for alcohol.

Several people entered the building.

As soon as he entered the door, Cheng Xinzhan saw a familiar figure again. The man was wearing a cobalt blue Taoist robe with a egret pattern on his chest. He secretly said in his heart that something was wrong.

Sure enough, the man was overjoyed when he saw Cheng Xinzhan and shouted,
"Benefactor!"
