Chapter 8 The Secret of Longevity
While thinking about his thoughts, Chen Hengyi walked back, passed two streets, walked around the corner, and finally arrived at the door of his residence.
At this time, he narrowed his eyes and couldn't help but feel a headache. He saw Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling standing there waiting at the door of his house.
For more than half a month, these two boys have come to bother with each other every day, which makes Chen Hengzhi so angry. He thought about it and walked over quickly.
From afar, Kou Zhong saw Chen Hengzhi come back and stretched out his hand to tie Xu Ziling. Both of them stood up straight, as well as being as a primary school student waiting for the teacher to praise him.
When Chen Hengzhi approached, Kou Zhong licked his face and said hello: "The immortal is back, thank you for your hard work..."
It was as if it was waiting for the owner to feed him.
Chen Hengzhi frowned and said, "Okay, you two can come in."
He understood that if he didn't completely dismiss these two people, it would be difficult for him to calm down in the future.
When Kou Zhong heard this, he smiled and bowed, "Thank you, Immortal, thank you, Mr. Ling, thank you, Immortal."
Xu Ziling smiled and bowed.
Chen Hengzhi walked home, and the two conciers guarding both sides of the mansion were hustling: "Hello, lord!"
After saying that, he pushed open the door and let him in.
The two dragons followed Chen Hengzhi, entered the imperial teacher's mansion, walked around the garden, and came to the front hall. Chen Hengzhi sat down in the main seat. Seeing that the two of them were still standing still, they said, "Sit all."
Kou Zhong was not polite and pulled Xu Ziling to sit down. Then, after a moment, the maid served the tea and placed it on the table next to the three of them, and then stepped back.
Chen Hengzhi looked at the two of them and pondered: "What do you two want to do?"
Kou Zhong quickly put down the pastry in his hand, stood up and said, "Immortal, my brothers have a ruthless request, I hope the immortal will allow it."
"Since it's a reluctant request, let's forget it, don't say it."
Chen Hengzhi refused without hesitation. Nonsense, you know I won’t agree, so I’m not hesitating.
This... isn't it too ruthless?
It seemed like someone had a splash of cold water. Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling felt very cold.
Kou Zhong thought again and said, if he refused directly, why should he let himself in? There must be a glimmer of hope.
Thinking of this, he pulled Xu Ziling. The two of them looked at each other and knew what each other meant. They took two steps forward, knelt down in front of Chen Hengzhi with a thud, and said in unison: "Please accept my brother as their disciple!"
Chen Hengzhi picked up the tea cup, skimmed the tea mozi, took a sip, and asked, "Why do I want to accept you as my disciples? What are you worthy of praise?"
Kou Zhong heard this and said happily: "The immortals are born in poverty and are lonely and helpless since childhood. Then, last year, they came to work hard and achieved great fortune. "The Eternal Life", one of the four great books in the world, fell into my brother's hands, and I accidentally learned this strange book that no one has learned for thousands of years.
Next, the adventures were all the best. First, I got the method of entering Yang Gong’s treasure house and my mother’s teachings. My brothers are now considered well-known young masters in the world."
After saying that, he looked at Chen Hengzhi eagerly, hoping that he could nod and agree.
Chen Hengzhi laughed and said, "I know these things better than you. The so-called "Eternal Life Skill" is just a magical skill in the world. When it comes to the upper realm, it is not much better than the big streets.
You are both talented, Kou Zhong, you are bold and straightforward, smart and changeable, and you are active by nature; Xu Ziling, you are generous, loyal and forgiving, and you are indifferent and inaction.
To be honest, I was a little moved.
However, I cannot accept you as my disciples. If I ask me to guide you in your martial arts, it would be fine."
Kou Zhong asked hurriedly: "Immortal, why can't we accept us as disciples?"
Chen Hengzhi shook his head: "I can't tell you."
In fact, Chen Hengzhi didn't want to accept them as his disciples. These two of them were both troublemakers. If they became their masters, they would be annoying to help them wipe their butts in the future.
Kou Zhong opened his mouth and wanted to say something. Xu Ziling, who was beside him, pulled him and signaled him not to say more and stop when he saw the opportunity.
Seeing that Chen Heng's expression was firm and knew that things could not be changed, they had no choice but to bow to them: "Thank you immortal."
Since he said he wanted to give advice, Kou Zhongbing couldn't sit still, so he asked Chen Hengzhi to see him. Chen Hengzhi nodded and the three of them moved to the martial arts field.
Chen Hengzhi sat on the Grand Master's chair, looked at the two people standing in the field, and said, "Start, practice what you have learned and what you have learned to show me."
"Yes! Immortal is ready!"
Kou Zhong responded and took action first, using the sword skills taught by Fu Junta to the bird crossing technique taught by Yun Yuzhen one by one.
Since the Nine Profound Art and the Eternal Life Skill are internal skills, it is naturally difficult to display, so I recited the Nine Profound Art and learned it by chance. They didn't know either of them.
Xu Ziling learned about what he learned was almost the same as Kou Zhong, so he practiced it again later, and it looked exactly the same as Kou Zhong.
After the drill, the two returned to Chen Hengzhi again, looked at him, and Kou Zhong gave the treasured "The Art of Eternal Life" in his arms, bowed and said, "Immortal, we brothers have finished drilling, please give me some advice."
Chen Hengzhi stroked his chin with his right hand and said, "You two have not learned orthodox, and their moves are completely patched up and are not systematic.
There is no footwork at all. I just learned a light skill. The success I have today is entirely due to the power of the Eternal Life Art. The initial practice is innate true energy, which can be considered as having a deep blessing.”
He held the Xuanjin Brocade Book with the Eternal Life Stories in his left hand. Looking up, he saw that there were 7,400 words written in oracle bone inscriptions and seven other human figures. His postures were not in front of him. He also used various symbols, such as red dots, arrows, etc., which seemed to be telling a certain method of practice.
But those who do not know the meaning can still not practice it. If you force yourself to activate the internal energy according to some symbols, the qi and blood will immediately churn. In severe cases, you will get into a devil and be extremely dangerous.
Chen Hengzhi frowned. Although he was well-read and knowledgeable, the oracle bone inscriptions had long been cut off and could not be recognized at all.
Even in reality, I forced myself to write down the translation and comparison method, but I could only decipher a small half, nearly three thousand words, and the rest of the characters were completely unaware of their meaning and shape.
After remembering all the graphics and characters in the book, he closed the brocade book and handed it back to Kou Zhong, frankly saying, "I can't help you with the story of the immortality."
Kou Zhong reached out to take it, put it in his arms, and said in surprise: "Can't help? Why can't you help? Are you not an immortal?"
"Haha, immortal? Do you think immortals know everything and can do everything?"
