Xu Damao's Thirty-Six Stratagems in Siheyuan

"Lady, when will you accompany me to climb Mount Tai?"

"Xu Damao, it's only been spring for a short time. Mount Tai is over a thousand meters high and it's below zero on the top of the mountain. You don't feel cold at all."

"Xiao Ru, you are a person in the Xiantian realm, but you are afraid of the cold. It's true. It is precisely because the weather is cold and there are fewer people climbing the mountain that it is convenient for us to stay at the top of the mountain and practice. Why do you think I am going to Mount Tai?"

"Is training in Kyoto any different from training in Mount Tai?"

"I think so. During the Spring Festival, I accompanied Xiao'e and the others to Hainan. We practiced in the tropical jungle and found some clues. I felt the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Remember He Lihua broke through the Five Elements Refining Qi Jue on the top of Mount Tai? I think this is the reason. She felt the spiritual energy of heaven and earth when she was about to break through. So it took her less time to break through than me. So I want to take you to try it too. Maybe you will get unexpected results."

"Okay, let's go on Friday. I've taken Thursday off, and I don't have any classes after Friday."

"Okay, let's drive there. It saves us the trouble of going on the road."

We climbed the mountain from the Dai Temple at nine in the morning, entered the Red Gate, Hutian Pavilion, Huimaling, Zhongtianmen, Eighteen Bends, and reached Nantianmen. It was already dusk.

Xu Damao and Fang Xiaoru arranged for accommodation, had dinner, and felt the cold mountain breeze on the dark top of Mount Tai.

As Xu Damao expected, there were only a few tourists.

"It is indeed the Fengshan site, the highest of the Five Mountains. Xiaoru, wait until the hour of Chou, let's get up and find an open place to start practicing. You should feel the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and maybe your realm can be improved."

Fang Xiaoru leaned on Xu Damao's right arm, "Da Mao, I don't really care. I've been in Xiantian for several years. After all, I'm already at the top of the martial arts world. It's just that I met a pervert like you who actually learned the Taoist magic. You just need to practice well, and I'll wait for you to feed me. You won't be unwilling, right?"

"How can that be possible? But don't waste this opportunity. If you can also feel the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, we can travel all over the mountains and make progress together in the future."

Fang Xiaoru looked at Xu Damao with a very serious look and liked him in her heart: After all, he is her man, and he is worthy of being her man.

At about 11:00 p.m., Xu Damao and Fang Xiaoru woke up and found that the hotel was still closed and there was no sound. They had no choice but to jump out of the second-floor window and head to the viewing platform.

For Tianhei and Tianhan, that was not a problem.

After choosing a place, Xu Damao discovered that Fang Xiaoru actually brought a pillow with him. Hey, Fang Xiaoru actually used the pillow as a futon.

Smart. After all, she is a woman, and she is very careful.

Xu Damao began to empty his mind, meditating with full concentration, and practicing the Five Elements Qi Refining Technique.

Fang Xiaoru also sat cross-legged and began to practice her Natural Gate internal energy.

Originally, the main focus of Natural Gate practice was on skills rather than boxing, and Fang Xiaoru had also skillfully practiced the Five Elements Qi Refining Art passed down by Xu Damao in her early years. She really had some abilities of a master, and she had combined the mental methods of Natural Gate and the Five Elements Qi Refining Art on her own, and practiced in a very good manner. While breathing in and out, she gradually began to enter a state of concentration.

As soon as Xu Damao started practicing his skills, he felt the spiritual energy of heaven and earth rushing into his body, cleansing his meridians, and he soon entered a state of meditation.

After nearly three hours, at 1:15 a.m., the first ray of sunlight hit the top of Mount Tai, shining on Xu Damao and Fang Xiaoru who were in a state of meditation. If someone was there, they would have seen the two people wearing dark blue training suits surrounded by purple light, which was very mysterious. Especially on Xu Damao, you could vaguely see a purple light ball surrounding his body, which was neither dizzy nor dissipated, which was very strange.

Bathed in the warm sunshine, Xu Damao gradually opened his eyes, stopped practicing his skills, and began to practice Xingyi Baguaquan in the spacious open space. Every move and form was accompanied by a sound of breaking through the air.

Fang Xiaoru also woke up from his meditation and began to practice his own style of boxing.

After several rounds, Xu Damao and Fang Xiaoru started fighting.

"Lady, use all your strength to deal with me. Don't be afraid. I know what I'm doing."

Fang Xiaoru felt her inner strength surging and filling up at this time. After hearing what Xu Damao said, she started to practice natural boxing, token style, elegant bird style, back-turning style, long-hand push palm, twisting step, flip hammer, slashing palm, climbing tiger, leaning on hitting, cannon flash, flat chest palm. She used all the moves of the sect of life, capture, catch, take, dodge, hide, round, slippery, swallow, spit, float, sink, soft, clever, crisp, transform, wonderful, and divine at will. She was not afraid of hurting Xu Damao, so she was very relaxed when she fought, without worrying about anything else.

Fortunately, no one was there, otherwise the punches could really hurt someone. This sparring lasted for more than an hour. When Xu Damao knew that tourists were coming to the viewing platform in groups of two or three, he stepped back and jumped out of the sparring circle, signaling Fang Xiaoru to stop working, and then slowly practiced a few moves on his own, storing all the spiritual energy he had taken in today into his dantian, and then stood quietly, feeling what he had gained today.

The breakfast at the top of the mountain was really not cheap, definitely more than three times the usual price. However, Xu Damao and Fang Xiaoru didn't think it was expensive.

I returned to the room and reluctantly took a hot shower. Actually, it wasn't really a shower. I just filled a few thermos bottles with boiling water, mixed some water and washed my whole body in the bathroom. But it was still very comfortable.

He went to the restaurant on the first floor and started eating. The two hours of training had consumed a lot of energy.

"Give me ten boiled eggs, three trays of meat dumplings, two large bowls of rice porridge, and a large plate of pickles."

After paying, he and Fang Xiaoru started to eat. The waiters were stunned. This guy bought almost a quarter of the breakfast prepared today.

After returning to the room, Fang Xiaoru felt a little emotional.

"Da Mao, you are actually quite clever sometimes. Fortunately, you brought your and Fang Jie's marriage certificate. Otherwise, you and I would have to sleep in the same room with others, which is not convenient at all."

"That's right. I'm just a gangster. I can't compare with you, a university professor. You said that it would be much easier to have this marriage certificate with you. These are all trivial matters. Tell me about your experience in cultivation today."

"Da Mao, the spiritual energy you mentioned is real. Although I don't have the feeling that you said it was coming at me, I found that my internal energy has become more refined today. It seems that I have a breakthrough feeling like breaking out of a cocoon. But at that time, the sun was shining on me, and my whole body felt like it was soaked in hot water. I think I am about to break through a new high. Now I know why the famous mountains and rivers are occupied by monks or Taoist temples. It is definitely not for the sake of tranquility, but because there is really spiritual energy from the sun and the moon, which helps them practice. In this way, I must go to Wudang Mountain. It is said that the vegetation there is richer, and there may be more spiritual energy from the world. What do you think? Damao."

"I also feel this spiritual energy, which is similar to the feeling of the rain forest in Hainan Island. Well, your idea is very much to my liking. From now on, let's arrange our time reasonably to practice and travel at the same time."

"Hey, this is just what I want. So we have made a happy decision. Next, let's go take a closer look at the first of the Five Mountains, which is known as "Mount Tai and Lu."

"Walk."
