I’ll add some practice in the real world

After going down the mountain and leaving the Shaolin Temple scenic area, it was already late at night. Chen Jue first found a 24-hour B\u0026B in a nearby town to stay for one night.

Chen Jue felt that he slept particularly soundly that night. He probably felt that he had made a lot of merit in helping others become Buddhas.

It was already 10 o'clock in the morning when he got up the next day, washed up and had breakfast, and then Chen Jue continued hiking southwest with his backpack on his back.

I spent two days and walked more than 400 kilometers, visiting the flat landforms and rivers and lakes in the Central Plains. Compared with the hilly landforms in Wenzhou, the terrain in the Central Plains is indeed much flatter. You can see a flat wheat field on the road. , unlike Wenzhou where there are mostly mountain fields and terraced fields, with only a few neat stretches of flat land.

By the time we reached the foot of Wudang Mountain, it was already the night of the fourth day, and we found a B\u0026B in a tourist town at the foot of the mountain.

By the way, perhaps because of the atmosphere created by the scenic spot, all the B\u0026Bs and hotels that can be seen nearby have the name Inn, and the decoration is also antique. It has the artistic conception of the knights in martial arts novels traveling around the world. Inside.

…

After sleeping one night in the inn, Chen Jue used WeChat to contact Taoist Master Liu Shiqing when he got up the next day.

When the other party learned about Chen Jue's arrival, he was quite surprised. He sent a location on WeChat and briefly chatted with Chen Jue.

Probably because of the bonus of [Lu Zu Enlightenment] and the foundation established by the Eight Immortals of Chuanquan, Chen Jue has an inexplicable feeling of intimacy towards Taoist people and Taoist culture.

After leaving the inn, I had a bowl of the famous local Xiangyang beef noodles in the small town. The business of the small shop was booming and the atmosphere in the shop was warm. A bowl of hand-rolled noodles was added with authentic braised beef and a spoonful of cool red spicy oil. , a fusion of spicy, numbing and fresh, delicious taste and long aftertaste. After eating one bowl, I felt that it was not enough. Chen Jue went to order a second bowl. He felt warm and delicious in his belly, so he slowly paid and left the noodle shop. .

After filling his stomach, Chen Jue followed the navigation and came to the location sent by Taoist Master Liu Shiqing.

On the road, we often see tourists entering the mountain, as well as Taoist priests with buns and coarse robes, and there are even some foreign faces among them.

I think it’s because Wudang Kung Fu is famous all over the world and Taoist culture has a long history. Even foreigners come here to learn from it.

Moreover, these practitioners dressed as Taoist priests were in a hurry, probably going to do their morning exercises.

By the way, Taoist priest is just a unified title. It doesn’t mean you can be called a Taoist priest just by putting your hair in a bun.

There are distinctions between Taoist priests and non-monastic monks. Those who are not monks are also called lay practitioners. At present, the mainstream is divided into two factions, one is Quanzhen, and the other is Zhengyi (there are too many other large and small factions to talk about).

Taoist priests of the Quanzhen sect are monastic Taoist priests who cannot get married, are vegetarians, and live in Taoist temples. Men are called Gan Dao, and women are called Kun Dao. They have long hair, tied in a bun, and can wear a crown. Gan Dao has a beard.

Taoist priests of the Zhengyi sect can get married and eat meat. Most of them are Taoist priests who do not become monks, also known as incense laymen. You don’t need to have long hair or beard, and you can dress like ordinary people. If you don’t wear Taoist attire, you won’t be able to tell that you are a Taoist priest.

Of course, there is an obvious difference between the disciples of the two sects. The disciples of the Zhengyi sect must be awarded talismans before they can become qualified Taoist priests. Disciples of the Quanzhen Sect need to pass on the precepts.

In fact, most of the people Chen Jue saw rushing to practice martial arts were not orthodox Taoist priests, but apprentices and hobbyists who came here to learn martial arts. They dressed very much like Taoist priests, just like the martial arts schools run by Shaolin Temple. The same principle applies to the lay disciples recruited by the school.

…

While walking around, Chen Jue came to the location. He looked up and found that it was a Taoist temple, so he went in to visit and saw Taoist Master Liu Shiqing who was leading his disciples to recite Taoist scriptures and do morning homework.

Instead of going up to disturb him, he first placed some incense sticks in the temple, paid homage to Sanqing Tianzun, and waited for Liu Shiqing to finish his morning classes before he went up to say hello.

Taoist Master Liu!

Master Chen Jue, welcome! It's an honor for us to have you come to Wudang to discuss martial arts. Liu Shiqing lost to Chen Jue in one move and left a deep impression on Chen Jue, so he became extremely enthusiastic when they met. .

Taoist Master Liu, you're welcome. The Thirty-Six Arts of Wudang Sect is famous far and wide, and I have also learned a few skills. This time I came to visit purely to seek advice. Chen Jue said politely, cupping his hand.

The two chatted for a while in the main hall. In addition, Chen Jue had formed a golden elixir and exuded a comfortable aura. Therefore, the more Liu Shiqing looked at Chen Jue, the more he liked him.

Master Chen Jue, your martial arts skills are unrivaled in the world. Even the previous chief instructor was defeated by you. I don't dare to teach you with my meager skills.

But one of my uncles was very interested when he heard that you were coming and wanted to meet you in person. Liu Shiqing said and led Chen Jue to the foot of Wudang Mountain.

When the two of them came out of the Taoist temple and arrived in front of an orthopedic clinic with a half-open door in the town, Chen Jue heard with keen ears a low, muffled sound like a toad inflating in the courtyard behind the orthopedic clinic. It is being passed on bit by bit.

Although the bus was noisy with tourists visiting the town, Chen Jue could still tell with his current hearing that the master inside was practicing the secret Wudang Golden Toad Kung Fu.

The golden toad is a sacred object in Taoist culture. As the saying goes: Three-legged toads are hard to find, and two-legged people are everywhere. The three-legged toad refers to the golden toad.

There is a Taoist legend about Liu Hai playing with a golden toad. It is said that the golden toad was transformed by a relative of Liu Hai who was greedy for money. He loved to hear the sound of money colliding, so the golden toad was regarded as a god of wealth.

The Liu Hai in this story is Liu Haichan, one of the five northern ancestors of Quanzhen Taoism. His original name was Liu Cao, with the courtesy name Zongcheng and the nickname Haichanzi. This Taoist ancestor passed through Zhengyangzi (Zhong Liquan) and Lu Chunyang (Lu Dongbin) successively. )'s enlightenment, he escaped to the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, the elixir was completed, and his corpse was dissected. Liu Haichan's disciple was Zhang Boduan, the real man of Ziyang who wrote Wuzhen Chapter, and his inheritance is far-reaching.

The concept of Wudang Golden Toad Kung Fu is taken from the journey of this Hai Toad Master. It is a simulated frog breathing Kung Fu, also called Da Toad Qi and Diao Toad Jin. The bad Kung Fu villain in martial arts novels, Toad Kung, comes from it.

What a profound practice of dirty kung fu!

How much lung capacity does it take to exhale and inhale like this? Chen Jue listened in fascination outside the clinic. He immediately followed Liu Shiqing and pushed open the small door of the clinic, which was ajar, and walked into the private courtyard behind the clinic.

I saw a middle-aged Taoist priest touching the ground with two fingers, his whole body half suspended in the air, making a posture like a toad squatting, leaning forward, his legs hanging in the air against his arms, and he seemed to be swallowing a bead in his mouth , his cheeks were swollen, his neck was bulging, and his abdomen was bulging. With a Gulu sound, a stream of hot air spurted out from his nasal cavity, falling to the ground and raising a cloud of smoke.

If you have a high ambition in your heart, you can swallow up the sun and the moon!

This toad has such a big breath!

Chen Jue used his heavenly senses to observe the Taoist master practicing the Golden Toad Kung Fu, and he felt as if he was seeing a real toad swallowing the essence of the sun and moon.

Judging from Chen Jue's experience, this middle-aged Taoist master's martial arts has already acquired the essence of the Golden Toad Gong. His body is deeply imprinted with spiritual energy, and when he inflates, there is a faint thunder in his chest. It is obvious that he has acquired the Zang Refining Yi. Marrow's superior kung fu.

Third update! This chapter is the fifth update to add points to the collection that exceeds 100,000. Pian Feng will continue to update and see if there can be another chapter later.

If you have been waiting for too long, you can go to bed early. I'm in normal condition today, I guess I just caught a cold. I can't guarantee whether the next chapter will be released.
