Chapter 17 The Strength of Darkness and Softness
Zhou Yunbo and Zhou Yunyi hurriedly walked to the front yard, where they saw a bald old man plowing a vegetable patch with a hoe.
The old man is thin and small, with a stooped figure. He wears an ordinary long-lasting gown and a pair of long rubber shoes on his feet.
Hearing Zhou Yunyi's voice from the courtyard door, the old man stood up quickly, with a smile on his face, shook the mud off his feet, and walked down from the vegetable field.
"Yiyi is here!" The voice was loud and full of energy. This old man was Zhou Shiting, the master of Xingyi.
"Grandpa!" Zhou Yunyi called out sweetly, and came to the other party's side in three steps and two steps at a time. He held his arm and said, "Why are you working again? Didn't you say you should rest more and take care of your body?
"
Zhou Shiting laughed when he heard this: "Your grandfather, I am not too old to move. Now give me a gun, and I can still go to the battlefield and kill the enemy!"
The words were quite heroic, and seemed to recall the scenery on the battlefield.
"Grandpa!" At this time, Zhou Yunbo walked up to him and called out easily.
Zhou Shiting nodded and looked at his grandson in front of him. It was different from the doting look when he looked at Zhou Yunyi. Now his eyes were more filled with relief and guilt.
The son did not want to practice martial arts. He originally thought that he would lose his place in the Zhou family because of what he had learned. However, he did not expect that when he grew old, it would be his grandson who would take over his mantle.
In fact, he didn't understand in his heart that his grandson was too sensible and didn't want to see himself sad and disappointed, so he took the initiative to practice martial arts.
Seven or eight-year-old children are at that age when they are naughty and active. Who would be willing to stand still for one or two hours a day, practice in the summer and practice in the winter?
However, Huangtian paid off. He had been practicing hard for twenty years in the cold and summer. In addition, his grandson was very talented. At the age of thirty-five, he had already achieved great success in Ming Jin, and he would soon be able to practice Dark Jin. In addition, he
With step-by-step guidance, it is possible to achieve great success in Anjin before the age of forty, enter Huajin before the age of fifty, and then it is not impossible to sit on the hips and hold the elixir.
Pulling back his thoughts, Zhou Shiting asked: "What, have you encountered any problems in practice?"
"It's not me, it's Yunyi!" Zhou Yunbo replied
"Yiyi?" Zhou Shiting looked confused and turned to look at Zhou Yunyi.
Zhou Yunbo quickly stepped forward and told Zhou Shiting about Zhou Yunyi's posting of the dragon and tiger forms on the Internet, and the fact that netizens asked him about the 'Anrou' training method.
Zhou Shiting was surprised for a long time, patted the soil on his body, took a big teapot, and sat on the edge of the stone. While drinking water, he waved Zhou Yunyi to sit next to him and said: "Yiyi, show the video to Grandpa.
.”
Zhou Yun followed his words and quickly pulled up the video and put it in front of Zhou Shiting. Zhou Shiting, who had been drinking tea leisurely, when he saw the scene of stone powder flying, he spit out a mouthful of tea and said in horror: "The air is like grinding, and stone becomes sand."
!”
It was the first time that Zhou Yunbo saw his grandpa lose his temper, so he quickly ran over and stroked his back.
Zhou Yunyi asked: "Grandpa, is this more powerful than you?"
Zhou Shiting had a weird look on his face when he heard this, and slowly said: "If this video is true, this person must have already formed an elixir. Sometimes the difference in realm can be a thousand miles away. Not to mention that I am old and frail now, even if
It was when I was young that I developed all my strength, and I probably wouldn’t be able to do more than ten moves against the opponent.”
"Uncle Yun, do you know this man?"
Zhou Yunbo did not answer, but turned to look at Zhou Yunyi.
Zhou Yunyi quickly said: "I don't know him, but he is a netizen. He said he was inspired by the dragon and tiger shapes I posted, and then he made a video like this and asked me for advice on how to practice the 'dark and soft' strength."
"Isn't that right?" Zhou Shiting said doubtfully: "If he is an expert in forming pills, how could he not know the secret way to generate energy? Even if he uses Taoist inner elixir techniques to form pills, he will not be able to achieve this 'underlying' strength."
It should be a matter of course, it’s really weird!”
"Oh, that's right!" Zhou Yunyi patted his head and said, "He also wrote a long paragraph of his practice experience to me, but unfortunately I can't understand it. I'll find it out for you later."
Ten minutes later, Zhou Shiting looked complicated and murmured: "It's actually possible! I always thought that I had to use the four powers of the human body to find the way to form lead and mercury into elixirs in the muscles, bones, flesh and blood. I didn't expect that this person found another way and actually used Zhou
The method of transporting heaven uses the Dantian as the cauldron, the soul as the fire, the five qi as the firewood, and the dragon and tiger as the assistants to restrain the qi and blood and reconcile the yin and yang, and actually found another way forward."
"It turns out that in this generation, there are still people who are willing to devote their lives and blood to the path of spreading martial arts. I am not alone in my path!"
As Zhou Shiting spoke, tears actually flowed from the corners of his eyes. He took a deep breath and said to Zhou Yunbo: "Uncle Yun, what this man said is a profound and wonderful method, and your practice is no different from other people's treasures. It's a pity that the way is not good.
Pass lightly, he only passed it to Yunyi, not to you and me. But now you and I looked at it without knowing it, so I want you to swear an oath that without this person's permission, you are not allowed to practice this Zhoutian move.
The method to strengthen the inner Qi and blood.”
"Grandpa, I know!" Zhou Yunbo nodded heavily
"And you, Yiyi. I didn't know about it before, but now you can't show this cultivation experience to others easily, otherwise it will be a big taboo."
Zhou Yunyi felt that it was a bit of a fuss, and said nonchalantly: "Grandpa, it's not necessary. Brother, let's take a look and see what's wrong. What year did this become a rule? It's a new society now!"
Hearing this, Zhou Shiting's face became unusually serious. He stared at Zhou Yunyi and said in a stern tone: "Yiyi, someone else gives you a treasure. This is your chance. But it doesn't mean that you have the right to dispose of the treasure at will. If we are
In that era, a kung fu skill could be the foundation of a career. If someone learned it secretly, at least their martial arts skills would be destroyed, at worst, their limbs would be broken, and they would be killed or injured without any consequences."
"And I want you not to show it to others easily. That is to protect you. This person has great skills and is probably an expert in forming alchemy. If he has a weird temperament and knows that you easily teach his secrets to others, we will investigate him when the time comes.
I can't protect you, your grandfather."
"Don't expect the police. Chivalrous people use force to break the law. For these real martial arts people, it is never just talk."
After Zhou Yunyi heard this, he shrank his head in fear and did not dare to speak.
However, Zhou Shiting suddenly showed a look of regret and sighed: "It's a pity that I am old and frail, and my energy and blood are exhausted. If I could be ten years younger and learn this method of moving the sky, I might not be able to get a glimpse of the mystery of the golden elixir!"
"When I asked Uncle Yun for you to obtain the 'Diao Toad Jin' internal skill from Wudang Izuyun Taoist Master, I also had the innate energy to strengthen my internal strength and seek external objects to form elixirs. Now if you can learn this skill
, there is definitely hope for me to form an elixir before I turn fifty. It’s a pity that I am destined but not destined!”
"Sigh! Sigh!"
As Zhou Shiting spoke, he began to sigh.
Seeing this, Zhou Yunyi said: "Grandpa, how about I ask the other party if I can let you practice this technique? If the other party agrees, wouldn't everyone be happy? And I think the other party is very easy to talk to.
, it’s not as serious as you said.”
After saying that, he picked up his cell phone and was about to send a message to Wang Yi, but Zhou Shiting reached out to stop him. He only heard him say: "Originally, he learned the two forms of dragon and tiger. If he only gave you a normal gift, it would be okay. But now it seems
The other party is giving everything he has to others without hiding any secrets, so we can’t be stingy, lest we be looked down upon by others.”
"Don't he want to see the power of 'An Rou'? The text and pictures are cumbersome and easy to make the meaning unclear. Yunyi, take out your phone and take a video of him."
Zhou Shiting asked Zhou Yunbo to bring a large vat and fill it with water. Then he sat cross-legged and held his breath. Zhou Yunbo and Zhou Yunyi were nearby and did not dare to say anything.
Thirty minutes later, his eyes opened and he stood up. His whole body was completely different, like an old tree sprouting new buds, and his body was full of vitality and vitality. His body was still thin, but it gave people the impression that
Tall and majestic, like a lone pine on the edge of a cliff, standing tall and steep.
I saw him lightly patting the edge of the tank, and a layer of ripples instantly appeared on the water surface. Then the water ripples became larger and larger, like a surging ocean wave. Then the water ripples changed and turned into a whirlpool. The vortex turned faster and faster.
It made a sound as it rubbed against the edge of the tank. Then he spat it out vigorously, and the water surface was instantly calm and ripple-free. It is precisely "its prosperity is booming, and its death is also sudden."
Originally, among all the power in the world, the power of water is the most powerful. When power is transmitted through water, it encounters the greatest resistance. Laozi said: "The best thing is like water. Water benefits all things without fighting. I don't fight with you, and all things don't fight with it."
It is precisely because of the invisible, formless and all-pervasive characteristics of water that if you want to control water with force, you need to show more skill and means.
And Zhou Shiting's "dark and soft" strength is like a silk thread. The water is invisible and he is invisible. The water has no form and he has no form. Because of the thickness of the force, it penetrates into the water, like a membrane that wraps the water in it. You can follow your heart.
Move and act according to your thoughts.
As soon as the palm demonstration was completed, Zhou Shiting had no time to finish the attack, and he staggered and almost fell backward. Fortunately, Zhou Yunbo had quick eyes and quick hands and caught him. He and Zhou Yunyi shouted at the same time: "Grandpa!" He quickly supported him.
The other person went to sit on the stone bench next to him.
I saw Zhou Shiting's face was as golden as paper, he was panting like an ox, and sweating like pulp. After two or three minutes, he calmed down and slowly said: "Old man, old man, I remember that when I was young, I could compete in the ring and be able to fire ten secret moves in succession.
His expression remained unchanged. Now he almost lost half his life with just one move. As expected, those who are not golden elixirs are just mortals."
As he said that, he looked at Zhou Yunyi and asked, "Yiyi, did you take the video just now?"
Zhou Yunyi had tears in her eyes: "It's done, grandpa."
Zhou Shiting said "Good boy!" three times before saying: "Yiyi, send the video to the other party. If the other party is willing to practice the exercises with Yun Bo, everyone will be happy. If not, don't have any resentment.
After all, it is a skill that involves nature and reaches its origin, so it should be cherished. Even if you are the only one who can practice it, I, the Zhou family, owe you a great debt."
After finishing speaking, he looked at Zhou Yunbo on the other side and said: "I have achieved great strength at the age of fifty. I am only a thin line away from that level, but this thin line is the eternal separation between immortals and mortals. Now I am unloaded and my body is like a leaky sieve.
I can't lock my true energy, so I can only slow it down by stinging the dragon. I just hope that I can borrow another ten years from heaven to be your protector. I'll see you sitting on your crotch holding the elixir with my own eyes. I'll die like this.
You can also close your eyes!"
"It's a pity that my senior brother has achieved great strength at the age of forty and is extremely talented. He was the most promising person in my sect to form an elixir, but he was eventually destroyed by the opposition of his fellow sect. He became disheartened and avoided his hometown.
Now there is no news. Otherwise, it would be much better for you to be his disciple than a bad old man like me."
Zhou Shiting spoke with a nostalgic look on his face, and the figure of his senior brother seemed to appear in his eyes, showing a faint look of attachment.
"grandfather!"
Zhou Yunbo had tears in his eyes, and Zhou Yunyi burst into tears.
Zhou Shiting waved his hand to signal the other party not to interrupt him, and continued: "Although Yiyi Yuanfa has arrived, she does not have this intention. I will not force it. But I will fight for you. As the saying goes, the road is difficult to walk.
If you can win the favor of the other party after I die, a single word of advice will be worth a hundred days of work."
"It's just that I have wronged you for so many years! In order to make my old man happy, you suppressed your hobbies and only practiced martial arts all day long. Now with this palm, grandpa will compensate you, and it depends on whether I can get you a golden elixir.
"
His eyes were full of love as he looked at his two grandsons. When he was young, he sought the golden elixir, but now that he is old, he realizes that these are his real treasures.
Parents love their children and care about them for a long time. This moment is vividly reflected in Zhou Shiting.
