What do martial practitioners practice? Gu Tianyou had never thought of this question before, because he had never felt that it was a problem. It wasn't until he realized that he was stuck in a bottleneck and couldn't make any progress no matter how hard he tried that he suddenly realized that this was actually a very serious problem. He had asked King Ming a few days ago, and the answer he got was only one word: God!

  Hu Sanbian had also been consulted on the same question. The answer given by his father-in-law was much more specific than King Ming's: martial arts was also a technique. The lower part of martial arts was full of strength, the middle part of martial arts was full of strength, and the upper part of martial arts was full of spirit. The Grandmaster realm was divided into three levels, the peak of which was to see the gods. The divine intent was perfect, and the divine proof of the Dao! The first level was to see the gods. It was about cultivating the martial dao to a certain level and cultivating the primordial spirit with one soul. It was like a divine eye illuminating the body. As long as such a person did not seek the Heavenly Dao recklessly, there would be no mistakes in his life. It would not be a problem for him to live to the limit of a hundred or so years. Such a person was rare in the world.

  The second stage was full of divine intent. The primordial spirit and stamina were one body, neither inside nor outside. The inner and outer elements were in harmony, Yin and Yang were smooth, and they were full of vitality. There was no gap between mind and stamina between movement and silence. One movement and one silence was natural. This was the ultimate realm of human arts. Hu Sanbian said that he was at this level.

  Hu Sanbian said that he had only heard of the third level of the Dao of Divine Unity. He had never seen anyone reach this level before. In history, perhaps only Zhang Sanfeng and Ancestor Damo had reached this level. During the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, some people touched the threshold, but he could not be sure. Gu Tianyou asked him, what realm is Ming Wanjun? Hu Sanbian wanted to say that it was the second level, but he hesitated for a moment. In an uncertain tone, he might be a little bit stronger than me.

  An expert's perception was the sharpest, and it was often very accurate. If he became stronger than Hu San, then he wouldn't be at the second level. King Ming said that in the end, it was God who practiced martial arts. Gu Tianyou saw theory of divine change in the highest realm of Chinese traditional arts from the classics left behind by some great masters of Chinese traditional arts in the Republic of China. The change of primordial spirit was like a physical object; The Body Art Divine Transformation was like nothing. It could be big or small, but it could be rigid or soft. The change in reality was only in a single thought. Hu Sanbian felt that this statement was not specific enough.

  In short, Gu Tianyou had reached a bottleneck in his cultivation. His physical strength and mental will had already reached a peak, but no matter how hard he tried, it would be difficult for him to break through. Hu Sanbian said that his talent was limited, so he could consider using external assistance to seek a breakthrough. There are two types of foreign objects. One is to strengthen one's body and qi, starting from the aspect of physical strength. The other was to nourish one's primordial spirit and enlighten one's perception, increasing one's spiritual will or primordial spirit. Neither type of treasure was easy to find.

  A person is like a pool. It is so big in total. When it is filled with water, it reaches a bottleneck. If you want to fill more of it, you have to widen the pool. Otherwise, no matter how hard you tried, it would be useless. These two types of treasures were used for this purpose. The difference was that one was dug deeper, while the other was often wider. The truth was actually the same.

  There were many types of treasures that could strengthen one's Qi, but each of them was extremely rare. Only when the Yang Insects and Yin Grass became the climate could they be produced. The so-called Yang worm was a vivid carnivore. After living for a long time, the essence of its body had accumulated into treasures. For example, the gall of an old bear, the bones of a Spirit Connecting White Tiger in the bitter cold polar region, were all treasures of the Yang worm.

  Yin Grass refers to the spiritual root immortal grass bred in the mountain yin. A thousand-year-old ginseng, ten thousand-year-old ginseng, and Polygonum multiflorum can be considered. These treasures were condensed from the essence of heaven and earth. Very few people had heard of them, and even fewer knew how to find and use them. If he didn't use it properly, it might be a deadly poison.

  Another type of treasure was even rarer, expand spiritual cultivation, Nourishing the primordial spirit increases intelligence, Such things are rare in nature, There were only two types. One was the ambergris from the hundred-year-old whale's body, and the other was the unique agarwood from the strange southern wood. This agarwood was not the main commodity on the market, but the pure resin deposited from the white incense wood that had lived for thousands of years in the old forest. Because it was extremely attractive to the giant snake, it was also called Dragon Tree Fragrance.

  \r \r \r

  There were also human treasures. Worms were bound to have treasures. Donkeys had donkey treasures, dogs had dog treasures, and cultivated the great virtues of the Dao. Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism were all within them. They cultivated their minds and cultivated their souls throughout their lives. Their cultivation would not dissipate after death. Some of them would fuse into their own bones to form beads, which would be known as relics. This item could be called the most precious treasure to nourish one's primordial spirit and open one's aperture.

  The fifth item in Lv Chunjiang 's safe was a treasure that could nourish one's origin and open one's aperture. It was a relic. It was as big as a fist and as white as jade, emitting a graceful and kind aura. Gu Tianyou was dumbfounded when he saw it, unable to move his gaze for a long time.

  How did such a treasure fall into the hands of this turtle grandson? Gu Tianyou was shocked and asked, "Is there a cousin named Lu Kun living with you in Lv Chunjiang?"

  When Ke Chumei heard this name, she immediately revealed a frightened expression. She said, "He has been beside Secretary Lu for almost ten years. This old man is like a ghost. He tosses around everyday, night and day. He never eats his first meal. He sleeps in a pile of firewood. At night, he stands in the backyard with his eyes open. The dogs in the neighborhood are so scared that they pee when they see him."

  "Stand on a pile of firewood and eat leftovers." Jiang Feidai frowned and said, "Is this person the Earth Master of the Snow Ridge Sect?"

  Long Jianmei looked at Eighth Granduncle curiously with wide eyes. Gu Tianyou knew very little about this. He shook his head and said, "I'm not very clear about the rules of this profession."

  Jiang Fei said, "I'm not in a hurry to tell you about this. Let's continue with the things before us."

  Gu Tianyou quietly put away everything. Before leaving, he told Ke Chumei that the case was still under investigation, and that he might need your assistance in the future. Whether for safety reasons or for other reasons, it was obviously inappropriate for you to continue living here. Therefore, I suggest that you move out of this place as soon as possible, preferably to the safe house we arranged for you until the case is completely closed.

  Ke Chumei was a woman who had no ideas or knowledge, so she nodded in agreement at that time. Gu Tianyou arranged for the comrades of the national security to take charge of this matter. He personally brought the five items in the safe home first.

  Along the way, the little dragon girl held back her questions and couldn't help but ask about the Earth Master of the Snow Ridge Sect. Jiang Fei said.

  The so-called Snow Ridge Sect Earth Masters could also be considered a school of geomantic omen. The method they learned was called geopolitics. This sect did not make a living by showing people feng shui, but it pursued tomb robbery for the rest of its life. Although tomb robbery was not for the sake of money, it was not for the sake of stealing tombs in the general sense. What they were looking for was the coffins of the ancient Great Virtues. They were looking for the treasures of heaven and earth that had seized the fortune of heaven and earth from those tombs.

  The tombs of later generations, be it the Ninth Five-Year Plan Empyrean or the village elder, were all carrots and a pit. They could be buried as soon as they were dug. However, the Mausoleum of the Emperor could occupy a mountain, with coffins and coffins, and yellow intestines. The wandering beggars could only break through corpses and pits of seven feet. According to legends, the tombs of the ancient great virtues and the people of later generations would never be able to find the exact location. Because those tombs are mobile, they're called earthstring coffins.

  As the name implied, those coffins could flow underground. There were two types of water and fire. The water coffins flowed along the hidden rivers. The hidden rivers they were looking for were swallowing, vomiting, tidal, and tidal. They did not always flow in the same direction until they reached the ends of the earth, but circulated. Several armored shells circulated once a week.

  The fire coffin was in the flowing soil. The underground soil was not motionless. Some flowed according to the Heavenly Star Nine Palaces. This part was called flowing soil, not flowing casually, but following the earth veins, like the meridians of a human body. Some geomantic masters also said that the earth was a living creature. In the geomantic omen of the dark house, this was what he was looking for. The current ancestor of the Snow Ridge Sect was called Li Bopu. He once said, "Seek the dragon vein, search for the dragon vein, and see if the golden dragon will move or not."

  The people in this door must never marry, not be official, not be merchant, believe in nature, eat from heaven and earth, stay between heaven and earth, sleep in the moon and earth, at most gather around some firewood piles, but never ignite one to roast the fire. What they wanted to practice was the Kung Fu of Immortality, and what they wanted was to interact with the heavens and the earth naturally. Either the food he had caught or plucked, or the leftover food he had eaten, or he could not afford to buy it with the smell of copper.

  Jiang Fei said that there were two types of people in this sect. One was direct inheritance, and the other was secret inheritance. There was only one direct inheritance from generation to generation, and all the marvelous techniques of the Snow Ridge Sect would be inherited from this person. There were at most nine secret manuals, which could be divided into two types: composition and martial arts. Wen Di Shi travels in Jianghu to sell his mouth, while Wu Di Shi travels all over the world with the kung fu of a pair of legs.

  Little Dragon Maiden said. I remember now. That old man called Lu Kun runs in a very special way. He jumps and shakes his head and tail like a monkey. He is extremely ugly and fast. It seems that he is most likely a Martial Earth Master.

  Jiang Fei nodded her head and said, "Li Baopu is one of the five elders of Long Xing. My father once knew this person. He has the ability to master the Xuanjin Dao and can afford to be a grandmaster of a generation."

  "The Five Elders of Long Xing?" Gu Tianyou pondered for a moment, then suppressed his curiosity and continued to ask, "Did he mention someone called Li Yangming?"

  Jiang Fei shook her head and said, '"I have no plans. The five elders of Long Xing are Li, Zhang, Wang, Chen, Zhao, and the five elders surnamed Li. The only one surnamed Li is Li Bupu. Among the other four, there is no one named Yang Ming. Hu Rumeng said that he went to meet the five of them when they were around thirty. At that time, the five of them were already a hundred or eighty years old. I'm afraid not many of them are still alive."

  This wasn't the first time Gu Tianyou had heard her mention the inside story of the Long Xing Society, but it was also the first time Li Baopu and the five elders had heard of it.

  Jiang Fei continued, "There are eight monsters in Long Xing Society, three immortals, five elders, and seven peerless." The Eight Eccentrics had been following Chen Zhihan all year round. They were respectively: Gao Shanliushui, Chou Zhiyin, and Gao Shanliushui; Zhen armed forces tu fengzhou; The Golden Snake sat cross-legged in the wolf Shengge Yanwu Yi Chunmei; Zhu Luo Yupan Zhao Pipa; General order Xian Yangqin; Snow in the spring, don't ask Xiao Shi of the Golden Stone Stunning Immortal Zhu Kang. However, the identities of the Three Immortals, Five Elders, and Seven Extremes had always been mysterious. Apart from the leader and the Dragon King, very few people knew their true identities.

  Hu Rumeng deserved to be acknowledged as the number one marvelous person in Jianghu. Jiang Fei's experience was limited at such a young age. If he hadn't told her about these things, how could she have known about them in such detail? Gu Tianyou sighed and couldn't help but recall King Ming's previous advice. He remembered telling himself that the strength of those people far exceeded your imagination. It was not so easy to be an expert in this era. Now that he thought about it, his words were as good as gold.

  King Ming's personal martial power had probably reached the peak of the human realm, but he was still thrown into a corner of this era. Although he had made some achievements, once he touched the interests of those big shots who were hiding in the depths, it would be very difficult for him to contend head-on with them at the moment. Fortunately, today had never been achieved by force. Then he thought, no matter what, it would be useless. At worst, the soldiers would come to block the water and cover the earth.

  Gu Tianyou pressed down on the relic hidden in his pocket. In order to live a good life according to his will, apart from having long sleeves and good dancing, he also needed to possess powerful strength!

  When the car arrived downstairs, Gu Tianyou's phone suddenly rang. It turned out to be a message from the Three Whips Old Demon. I'm downstairs from your house.

  Chapter 289 When Stubbornness Comes, All The Courage Comes With All The Heart

  The artist told the truth with lies. Politicians cover up lies with lies. And we accept ignorance and believe lies. Want to find the sinner closest to you? Look in the mirror. This world is full of sinners, some people in the search for redemption in the cycle of sin; Some people gradually despair in the search for the truth; Some people escape from the truth and look at the world as bystanders; Some people always think that they are wrong, humble prayer for salvation; Most people are confused, but they always feel that they are right.

  Hu Sanbian's words were very profound. He said that the first kind of person was a politician, the second kind of person was an artist, the third kind of person was a theologian, and the fourth kind of person was an idiot. The last kind of people are despicable and smart us. These kinds of people live in the depths of our souls. It's either him or her, it's you and me.

  Gu Tianyou originally wanted to ask him when he would return, but Hu Rumeng suddenly began to talk about philosophy the moment she met him.

  "It would be better to shatter jade than to collapse! No matter how astonishing and gorgeous a person is, the jade that occupies these eight words has been shattered." Hu Rumeng's gaze was dark and deep. She stared at Gu Tianyou with a demonic charm. "I heard that you beat up Zhao Shilong's grandson. Not only did you offend the West Sea Society, but you also wanted to make enmity with Long Xing Society. Thunder God and the hidden arrows are all eyeing your Heavenly Blessed City. You are so free and easy to live in all directions. This courage makes me look at you in a new light."

  "I have to admit, you are not a politician, nor an artist, nor a theologian. You are smarter than most people, but you have made stupid choices that most people would not have made. I have admired very few people in my life, and in the future, you will be added to this list," he added.

  Gu Tianyou said, "I just don't like to be placed in my own life by others or fate."

  Hu Sanbian said, "My life is up to me. It's easy to say. How many people can really do it?" "At the very least, I was unable to do it for the first 66 years of my life. I was 23 years old, and I was known as a master of both martial arts and martial arts. Thirty years ago, I tried to control my own destiny like you and live a more carefree life. At that time, I already had my current cultivation, so I decided to visit some of the most famous people in Jianghu Dao at that time."

  "Are you referring to the Five Elders of Long Xing?"

  "Not just the five of them, There were others, Some of these people were Martial Grandmasters, Some were great masters of spells, Some of them are incomparably evil, Some are compassionate, Without exception, they were all people in Jianghu who couldn't help but ask, I beat them one by one, In the end, I realized that even if I was invincible, However, there are still many helplessness. I can't change the fate of the Eight Elements. I can't go against the will of my master, nor can I make Jiang Muyun fall in love with me. I can defeat those people one by one, but I can't deal with any three of them working together. I know that Jiang Muyun is wrong, but I can't stop her from courting death. Do you think I'm feeling a little aggrieved in my life? "

  "Everyone has their own helplessness. At least you've worked hard."

  The moon in the sky was sparse, and the pedestrians on the road were leisurely. Hu Sanbian seemed to be full of worries.

  "I have set too many restrictions in my life, "In the end, there's only one problem. It's that I can't defeat the Heart Demon. I always want to control the fate of too many people and take responsibility for too many people. However, I don't have the same foundation as Wang Xian behind me, but I have to shoulder the same burden as him. In this lifetime, I'm the only one who can really escape. So I'm not the material to create the world." He suddenly looked at Gu Tianyou seriously, "You are!"

  "I am?" Gu Tianyou couldn't digest the meaning behind his words and looked at Hu Sanbian in surprise.

  \r \r \r

  "Yes, you are." Hu Sanbian nodded and said, "In terms of temperament alone, you are stronger than me and Ming Wanjun. You are truly fierce and ruthless. You have methods, feelings, and luck. You chose the most difficult path in the world. You did not become a dog for Wang Xian, Sun Mingshen, and the like, nor did you choose to flee like me and Ming Wanjun."

  "Who is Zhao Shilong? I mean, other than Zhao Zhuoqun's grandfather, who else is he?" Gu Tianyou didn't want to continue with his topic. He thought of the matter of hitting Zhao Zhuoqun and casually asked.

  "One of the Five Elders of Long Xing, Liu He Quan Grandmaster, is only inferior to Li Baopu and Zhang Hongyu." Hu Sanbian answered every question.

  Gu Tianyou felt that it was inappropriate to interrupt him just now. "I understand what you said earlier, Ming Wanjun also came to remind me that this path is not easy, "But for me, this is not a multiple choice question. When I was a teenager, I decided how to spend my life. I can't be a dog. My long sleeves and good dancing are all about borrowing strength. It's not about flattery. If anyone kicks me out one day, it's just a piece of cake."

  Hu Sanbian frowned slightly and suddenly asked, "Where is Feifei? Where do you plan to put her?"

  Gu Tianyou looked at her and said resolutely, "She is a giant in the spiritual world. No one has the qualifications to settle her life. This is not something I should worry about."

  Hu Sanbian was stunned for a moment. He smiled bitterly and nodded, "As a father, I don't know her better than you do. This child is more stubborn than her mother."

  Gu Tianyou said, "It's just that caring is messy. She will always be a child in your eyes."

  Hu Sanbian said, "You did a very good job with the Su Qing couple, much better than what I asked you to do back then."

  "It was their choice," Gu Tianyou said. "I just did what I wanted to do. From another perspective, their choice helped me."

  Hu Sanbian smiled and said, "Even if you don't get any fruit rewards, you don't get credit for doing good deeds, and you don't deserve to do evil deeds. That's why you have such a carefree decision."

  Gu Tianyou said, "There are too few opportunities to rise up in a prosperous era. If you worry too much, there is nothing you can do."

  Hu Sanbian said, "Do you think you have a chance to succeed?"

  "The same question was asked by Ming Wanjun," Gu Tianyou said.

  Hu Sanbian sighed softly, "In that case, I can't persuade you to turn around."

  "You seem to have heard something," Gu Tianyou said.

  Hu Sanbian nodded and decided to speak frankly, "Someone contacted me. I hope I can persuade you to submit to the Long Xing Society."

  "Wang Xian?"

  "Zhang Wangjing is Zhang Hongyu's old son. He has been weak and sick since childhood. He was able to live to more than forty years old. The first eighteen years relied on the courage of a hundred-year-old bear. The last thirty years relied entirely on a spell. He picked the life essence essence of a female insect for his own use to live to this day." Hu Sanbian replied.

  "If you have something to say, please say it directly." Gu Tianyou vaguely had a guess. His expression was not good, and he interrupted the three-whip old demon's words roughly.

  Hu Sanbian said straightforwardly, "In short, the girl you brought to the dinner party last time was taken a fancy to. Zhang Wangjing believes that taking her life essence can fundamentally change his physique. The person contacting me is Chen Zhihan. Although she is the leader, she still needs Zhang Hongyu's support in Long Xing Society, so she … …"

  Gu Tianyou suddenly waved his hand and interrupted Hu Sanbian, saying, "You don't have to say anything. I know what she means, and I think you must know what I mean. I also understand what she means by finding you. Give me a step, and she took in Tianyou City without a single blade of blood, giving you face and roping in Zhang Hongyu."

  "We can still discuss this condition, but I think this is an opportunity for you and Heavenly Blessing City."

  "No need to talk. From the moment she asked me for the Little Dragon Girl, it was impossible for me to sit at the same table as this woman." Gu Tianyou said resolutely, "No matter whose lover she used to be, how much power she has in her hands!"

  Hu Sanbian said, "This is your choice. Very good. However, I would like to remind you that you must not expect Sun Mingshen or Xu Muye to be enemies with Long Xing. They can't help you. When I washed my hands, I made a promise to the five elders for Fei'er's future."

  "I don't expect anyone!" Gu Tianyou said, "I understand your intentions. There's nothing to discuss about this matter. Chen Zhihan doesn't need a partner. If she wants to enjoy her success, let her take it according to her ability."

  "Ah!" Hu Sanbian suddenly let out a long sigh. "I wish it had been thirty years, "No wonder you were able to cultivate King Ming to the current level. This unique technique created by Ming Wanjun is completely contrary to martial arts principles. Ordinary people have little hope of success in training. Your current achievements are inseparable from your firm nature and unshakable will. At that time, I was just lacking this determination. One thought and a hundred thoughts and a waste of thirty years."

  As he spoke, he took out a white cloth bundle and handed it to Gu Tianyou. He said earnestly, "This is the handwriting of the Eight Dragon Flag and the eight seniors who left the country. I'll give it to you. It's up to you to decide when to use it. Although I don't think highly of you, I still hope that you can go farther than me and Ming Wanjun."

  Gu Tianyou put away the things and said, "I will never forget the kindness you and King Ming have shown me."

  The moonlight was as cold as water, and Huqin's voice was exceptionally clear in the silent night. Gu Tianyou watched as Hu Sanbian left. His heart was filled with emotions. Hu Sanbian came to find him, first to deliver information, secondly to test his temperament, and thirdly to warn him in this way.

  The last time he angrily beat Zhao Zhuoqun was not over. The Long Xing Society was not monolithic. It was originally meant to attract Wang Xian, but it attracted Chen Zhihan. This woman was Sun Mingshen's ex-concubine, and Sun Jingfei's mother was only interested in this relationship, so Boss Sun couldn't be trusted. As for Xu Muye and his wife, they couldn't even point out that they would offend Luo Yifei if they left the West Sea. Now, they couldn't take care of themselves, so how could they afford to provoke Chen Zhihan, who was even more terrifying than Luo Yifei?

  Gu Tianyou had witnessed the evil of human nature when he was very young. On that bloody night, the sharp knife grinded by the toothbrush, and the prisoner who had died with blood all over his body, Gu Tianyou could no longer remember his name, but he would never forget the lesson about human nature that that person had taught him with his life. For people like Chen Zhihan and Luo Yifei, they were already treated like the dead man.

  Killing someone at the age of eight and going through life and death hurdles several times had tempered his temperament. He had long known that in the face of human greed, only those who were more vicious than those who were greedy had the qualifications to survive.

  In the end, there was no external force to rely on. Everything depended on him. He turned around and stopped thinking about this matter. He touched the items in his arms. Tonight, he had gained quite a lot. That mysterious relic was a treasure, and the eight secret arts that Hu Sanbian had brought with him were also extraordinary. If he wanted to improve his strength by leaps and bounds, he would have to rely on these two treasures.
