Chapter 30 – A Singer Comes
“Take off your clothes!”
The wooden stick in Wuzhu’s hand struck the top of Fan Xian’s head hard, making a loud “bang” sound.
At this time, the true qi was rushing towards the dome in Fan Xian’s hall of imprints, vaguely seeming to be able to see a light in his own consciousness, especially at the top of his head transformed into seven colors, but slightly too sticky to see clearly, a wave of annoyance from the stagnant place to spread, so that Fan Xian was not bitter, not depressed, only to tilt his head back to the sky, wanting to get a quick.
Right at this moment, the place in front of his forehead where his true qi had accumulated was hit by a stick from Wuzhu.
The stick struck his flesh, but it was more like hitting the depths of his mind, making his brain explode violently, just like the dark clouds in the sky above his head were split open by a bolt of lightning, and the clear sunlight in the sky just sprinkled down.
“Take off your clothes and go!”
This sentence was a passage from the Five Scriptures of the Kingdom of Qing – The Book of the Lodging Words, and it was rumored that one of the Four Great Patriarchs nowadays, the Great Patriarch Genduan, the Great Patriarch of the State Master of the Kingdom of Northern Qi, the State Master of the Kingdom of Northern Qi, Bitter Lotus, had once been granted a great lesson from the heavens back in the day, and at the time of enlightenment he drank the words, “A man’s body is a sweatshirt, and it is only by stripping it off that he can become a great Tao.
In the books that Fan Xian had read in his previous life, Buddhism had also talked about the way of the stick and drink, and Zen Master Qing Yuan had tasted the cloud: “With the flesh sweatshirt as stripped off, only then will I know that the stick and drink to stroll the foolishness.”
So in the ignorance and pain of Fan Xian, once heard the five bamboo said this sentence, will understand what is the meaning, plus the top of the head channel has been smooth, the light of the sky since the next, the mind back to clear, the intention to guard the internal, all the body on the meridians of all kinds of pain, all as the sky and the earth give, other people suffered, and their own and no longer have half a relationship.
Put down all attachments in life, put down all sensations on the body, just fit the state of mind of the end of the volume of the hegemony off at this time.
The hegemonic qi of heaven and earth could not be contained by one’s body, so only by giving up one’s own body and connecting oneself to the qi of heaven and earth, becoming a section of nature, could one tune in to such a wild and untamable true qi.
The true qi in Fan Xian’s body gradually subsided, and the great gate at the top of his head had been opened, and the calm and majestic true qi flowed through there, then down the pillar of heaven behind him, directly penetrating into the snowy mountain.
And very marvelously, the inside of the snowy mountain, which had always been as calm as the sea, also underwent some small changes today, and began to ooze out some true qi to replenish it into his dantian.
In this way, the circulation of true qi within his body finally flowed freely, forming a perfect circumferential channel that vaguely echoed the outside environment.
It was only after a long time that Fan Xian woke up in a daze, and a puddle of sewage had long since trickled out from underneath him, black and smelly. He looked at the still indifferent Five Bamboo next to him, revealing a weak smile, and said bitterly, “Thank you uncle, just …… you knocked this stick really hard.”
At this time, although his body felt weak, but his spirit was very vigorous, closed his eyes and looked at the situation in his body, familiarized himself with the latest trend of the flow of true qi, and felt that the original violent true qi, although still powerful, was obviously much less dry breath, and flowed more comfortably and freely.
Fan Xian sighed, unable to imagine that he would finally be able to practice the true qi that he had only seen in martial arts novels in his previous life, an indescribable flavor filled his mind, and subconsciously, his right hand slapped down towards his side.
There was a muffled poof, like a rag being poked through by a red-hot brazier all at once.
A shallow palm print appeared on the ground, its edges very smooth!
Fan Xian raised his own right hand, looked at it, then looked down at the palm print on the stone surface, compared the size, confirmed that the palm print had been made by his own hand, and after staring blankly for half a day, he finally snapped out of it and sighed, “It’s really amazing.”
“True qi overflowed, it’ll be fine later.” Five Bamboo said beside him.
“Uncle, didn’t you say that you haven’t practiced true qi yourself, so you don’t know how to teach me?”
“I’ve seen others practicing it, so I know what to do today.”
“So it means that if you’ve never eaten pork, you’ve always seen pigs run.”
Fan Xian suddenly felt like cursing himself a bit, and with a slight smile, he continued, “That pass just now was really dangerous, and if it wasn’t for that stick, I was really afraid that I’d become a vegetable again.”
“What is a vegetable?” Five Bamboo asked calmly.
Fan Xian raised his head to the sky, traveling out of his mind and ignoring it.
He whirled around and thought, it turns out that blind Five Bamboo is also an empiricist, so …… what if that stick just now didn’t knock himself through, but instead knocked himself unconscious, and all that violent true qi in his body went haywire and messed up his internal organs and bowels into a rotten mess down the drain ……
Played a shiver, he get rid of this incomparable horror association, looking at the sea in front of him wide, heart and chest for one of the free, now the gong method is first completed, vaguely excited, finally from the previous days of the assassin incident obscure emotions out of it.
These days, Fan Xian had not been able to figure out why the assassin actually did use poison. When Fei Jie came to teach himself how to recognize and solve poisons, did he really expect that this day would come? That would have been too far-sighted. There is also that the second aunt is also too much courage, even if she has a certain high house in Kyoto behind her, but with the method of poisoning, it is the same as saying that even the grandmother’s life is not in the eyes of the old lady – that old lady, but the emperor’s nanny.
His father in Kyoto, did he not notice this matter at all?
While he was pondering the question, a song came from beneath a distant cliff.
This cliff was close to the sea, far away from Tanyu, and behind the cliff was all barren and dangerous land, in front of the cliff there were many chaotic reefs, and the fishing boats could not get close, so it was very quiet. It was for this reason that Five Bamboos had chosen to teach Fan Xian the art of killing here, so today, when he suddenly heard a song, it was no wonder that Fan Xian was puzzled.
Although he was nervous, he didn’t mess up, carefully lying on the cliff face, across a rock, looking toward the place where the song came from.
Eyes and, in the waves, a flat boat is traveling between the black reefs, black reefs in the white foam, the boat in the middle of the swaying, looking as if at any time may crash into the reefs, fall into pieces.
But just like this, the boat is comfortable and incomparable through.
The boat sits a person, that person wears a hat, the song is from his mouth came out: “The waves only bloom for a moment, but than a thousand years of stone, not very different, the flow of clouds is also so.”
The song was soft, but the roar of the waves carried it clearly up the cliff.
When Fan Xian heard this song, he thought of Matsunaga Sadamori’s famous line about the petunia in his previous life: “The cinnabar blooms only for a moment, but it’s no different than a thousand-year pine.” He only felt that the characters on the boat were so dashing, yet profound.
As he was thinking about this, he heard Five Bamboo’s cold voice: “Hide well.”
Fan Xian subconsciously ducked his body behind the rock, noticing the passing of black shadows around him, and then watched in utter horror as Five Bamboos jumped directly from the dozens of feet high cliff!
