Xu Damao's Thirty-Six Stratagems in Siheyuan

Xu Damao and Fang Xiao traveled like an old married couple to visit the Five Sacred Mountains Monument, Taishan Stone Carvings, Yuhuang Peak, Riguan Peak, Zhanlu Terrace and other mountaintop attractions. They also used color film and took several rolls of Aks color film. Xu Damao prepared ten rolls.

We returned to the hotel, had lunch, and prepared to pack our bags to go down the mountain.

"Xu Damao, you said that you can improve our physical fitness through joyful communication. Do you think we should try out the legendary cultivation method in this natural environment full of spiritual energy?" Fang Xiaoru suddenly asked in a naughty tone.

"Lady Hero, I am really impressed by you. Are you really a teacher? You actually have such an evil idea. In fact, over the years, I have also studied the Five Elements Qi Refining Technique, but I have not found any method of practicing Yin and Yang. To improve your physique and realm, I would be sacrificing my own skills. I don't want to live to be a hundred years old one day in the future, and you all die before me, leaving me alone and helpless."

"How do we know if it works if we don't try? For example, if we are in nature, you are in me, I am in you, and we each practice our own techniques. What if we can achieve harmony? If that's the case, wouldn't we be able to achieve harmony between yin and yang and the circulation of the five elements?"

"Try?"

"I actually want to try it. I also want to live a long life so that I can accompany Shuying and grow old together."

"My goodness, your daughter will definitely live a long life. Her skills are no less than mine!"

"Hehe, actually I also want to try being unrestrained in nature with you. Am I really that evil?"

"Not bad, not bad. When you say that, I remember that in 83, there were so many children of high-ranking officials who didn't live a good life and only knew how to play pranks. It turns out that this is called playing with your heartbeat. Then why don't you not go down the mountain today? Then you have to call back to school to ask for leave, otherwise you really won't be able to make it to class on Monday."

"There is a phone on the mountain. We should be able to make long-distance calls. Let's go make the call first. Then we'll find a suitable place in the mountains where most people don't go. We'll try it tomorrow morning."

Fang Xiaoru was in an extremely good mood.

She didn't pack her luggage, and went downstairs to renew the room for two more days. She called Kyoto at the hotel front desk and asked for classes on Monday and Tuesday. She was going to go back to Kyoto on Tuesday. Since she was out this time, she should relax.

With the skills of Xu Damao and Fang Xiaoru, they soon found a very hidden cave in a depression of Blade Peak on the east side of Yuhuang Peak. The cave has a large capacity, at least a person can stand upright, and the depth is about three meters, which is very suitable for hidden cultivation. Moreover, Blade Peak is not open to tourists, and can only be viewed from a distance, not approached.

For Xu Damao, it was easy to get here. Fang Xiaoru was now in the middle stage of the Xiantian realm, so it was no problem for him to climb over eaves and walls, or even walk on flat ground.

After the two of them eagerly checked the terrain, they slowly looked at the cliff carvings left by the ancients and returned to the hotel before dinner.

There are obviously more people in the hotel today than yesterday. Maybe it's because it's Saturday.

Xu Damao accepted the energy consumption of practicing this morning, and decisively ordered five of the hotel's best dishes. He also made an appointment with the restaurant to prepare enough breakfast for them tomorrow. After a big meal, he decisively paid for tomorrow's breakfast. The waiter happily agreed to deliver it to the room around 8:30 tomorrow and arranged ten thermos of water.

Xu Damao quietly slipped five dollars to the waiter.

Everyone is happy. Both parties are very happy. With these five dollars, Xu Damao can save a lot of things tomorrow. When will money make the devil work? Five dollars is really not a small amount.

At 3:30 in the morning of the next day, Xu Damao and Fang Xiaoru had already arrived at the cave on Blade Peak. A large rock had been found here yesterday, and Xu Damao had smoothed it out. Fang Xiaoru brought a blanket from the hotel with her today.

After a good meal, the stone won't be so cold anymore.

After the preparations were completed, Xu Damao and Fang Xiaoru gradually began to practice. After practicing the technique for three cycles, the two began to merge, each practicing their own technique, trying to find a bridge of integration.

Xu Damao used the Soul Refining Technique to feel the trajectory of Fang Xiaoru's internal energy, and gradually used his lower dantian to cut into Fang Xiaoru's route.

The power of a skill is that it can guide others. Before long, Xu Damao had already cut into Fang Xiaoru's meridian trajectory, and used his powerful Qi Refining Technique to help Fang Xiaoru practice. Then, after slowly becoming smooth, he immediately led Fang Xiaoru's running trajectory from his own meridian acupoints to the Jiaji. The so-called Jiaji double meaning penetrates the top gate, and this is the most important path for cultivation. Concentrate on the Jiaji, cleanse the mind and stop thinking, and soon Xu Damao let Fang Xiaoru enter a state of no mind and forgetfulness. Then penetrate the Niwan, go down to the Mingmen and connect with the original ancestral qi, so that the essence, qi and spirit are integrated to nourish the origin and save the life treasure. Focusing on the double gates of the Jiaji, the Qi can reach the Tiangu Niwan in the upper part, the Yinqiao Weilu in the lower part, and the Zhonghuang straight through, so that the Qi can circulate throughout the body and penetrate all the meridians. Fang Xiao went to the lower Dantian and returned from the original path. She began to run the Da Zhoutian according to her method. After running the cycle again and again, Fang Xiao suddenly felt that her upper Dantian suddenly felt like a fine needle piercing through silk. Suddenly, her mind was clear, her eyes were like torches, and her power reached a new level. She opened her eyes and looked into the darkness in the distance. She found that she could see at night, and she clearly felt that she had opened a new meridian for two days. The Qigong method was running without any obstruction.

She knew it worked. This method was definitely effective. She could actually feel the spiritual energy of heaven and earth pouring into her body, making her feel so light that she wanted to fly.

Xu Damao clearly felt the changes in Fang Xiaoru's body, and fearing that she might get excited and make a mistake, he quickly said softly,

"Don't think about anything else. Hurry up and practice the skills to consolidate your own strength. Then practice ten more cycles."

When the light from the east illuminated half of the cave, Xu Damao and Fang Xiaoru had already separated, each stabilizing themselves and gradually finishing their practice.

When Fang Xiaoru wanted to have a pure communication with Xu Damao, she was rejected by Xu Damao.

"Lady, you are still so childish now. Practicing martial arts is more important than anything else. If something goes wrong and someone hears what we are doing here, we will be embarrassed and may even end up in jail and eat free porridge for a few days. Let's talk about it after we return to the hotel."

"That's what you said. I feel it now anyway."

"I'm scared of you. Hurry up and pack up before the tourists arrive in large numbers. Let's go out of this room and replenish our energy. After that, we can catch up on some sleep. Okay?"

Speaking of food, I'm a little hungry.

The two hurriedly put on their clothes. Xu Damao was about to pick up the blanket on the stone.

"Da Mao, I think we can do it again tomorrow, so let's put the blanket aside for now. Let's go back and have breakfast."

The two of them quickly left the cave and returned to the hotel along the safest route they had taken.

Take a shower, eat, and catch up on some sleep...

On Monday afternoon, Xu Damao and Fang Xiaoru arrived in Jining City, bought some food and drinks, bought some local specialties, and started driving from Jining to Kyoto overnight.

Fang Xiaoru, who was sitting in the passenger seat and could now buckle her seat belt, looked at Xu Damao who was driving with seductive eyes. Her expression showed: This trip to Mount Tai was totally worth it.
