Chapter 7 Flickering Shilong (Revisited)
"Xiao Zhong, if we don't know martial arts, we will not be able to live in peace." Xu Ziling told Kou Zhong before returning to Yangzhou: "If we can't even beat Boss Yan, it will be useless even if we have a lot of knowledge. Therefore, if we want to achieve great things in troubled times, we must have the martial arts to save our lives!"
"Where are you going to learn from your master? You said, let's go immediately!" Kou Zhong listened to Xu Ziling's everything now.
"If we learn ordinary martial arts now, it is too late. We must start from elementary school. Otherwise, when we grow up, our meridians and muscles and bones will be fixed, and it will be difficult to make progress." Xu Ziling sighed and said, "Unless we find peerless martial arts, marrow washing and Yijing, and reborn, we will never be able to become a true master."
"Where are you in the peerless martial arts?" Kou Zhong knew that the old god in the dream must have told Xu Ziling.
"I told you before that there are four great masters in the world, namely "The God of War", "The Eternal Life", "The Demon Strategy" and "Cihang Sword Classic". If we get any one of them, we have hope to catch up and become a real master. "The God of War" is buried deep in the underground palace, and no one knows it. "The Demon Strategy" is held by several super powerful demons in the world. This is impossible. Moreover, if we enter the Demon Sect, we have to kill all our relatives and brothers to cut off the world and become ruthless and unrighteous people, we don't have to think about this. "Cihang Sword Classic", in Cihang Jingzhai, Dita Peak, I heard that only women are passed on to men, and they are interested in controlling the general trend of the world. We gangsters are absolutely despised!" Xu Ziling explained slowly.
"There is only "The Eternal Life Skill" left. Where can I find the Eternal Life Skill?" Kou Zhong asked.
"The number one master in Yangzhou, Shi Long, he has the "Quansheng Jie", and I don't know where he came from, but we must convince him to let him learn it for us..." Xu Ziling patted Kou Zhong on the shoulder and whispered: "If we can learn "Quansheng Jie", then there will be hope. Otherwise, let's be a pastoral rich man for the rest of his life."
"I'll listen to you, Xiaoling, you must have a way to take down Shilong, I know! Haha!" Kou Zhong felt that Xu Ziling was omnipotent.
"Although I don't have much confidence, I should still fool him..." Xu Ziling knew that the 'mountain pusher' Shi Long had a weakness based on his memories.
Half a month later.
Xu Ziling walked towards the small manor in the distance with a basket of fruits and vegetables.
Now, it has been nearly three months since he entered the Tang Dynasty. This is an errand that he finally asked for. He gave Shi Long the daily needs of the "Mountain Pushing" Shi Long. This was what he and Kou Zhong begged Gui Xingrong, the nominal disciple of the Shilong Martial Arts Field. Although Gui Xingrong was still receiving the wages, Xu Ziling ran errands, and Kou Zhong helped clean the martial arts field there.
Gui Xingrong thought that the two wanted to join the Shilong Martial Arts Field as a nominal disciple. Seeing that the two were so pitiful, they softened their hearts and agreed.
Joining the Shilong Martial Arts Field was Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling's biggest wish in the past.
However, Xu Ziling only thought of one thing in his heart, that is, "The Art of Eternal Life".
That Taoist treasure, a peerless book that could turn Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling from a gangster into a great hero. How can we convince this Shilong who is addicted to Taoism and pursues immortality? Xu Ziling was not very sure in his heart, because Shilong, who is dedicated to practicing Taoism and is almost a guy without desires.
It's hard to convince such people.
After repeated thinking, Xu Ziling came up with a solution to Shi Long's weakness.
Finally decided to give it a try.
To convince Shi Long, you must get close to Shi Long and speak to make it possible to convince.
If Shi Long could let him read the book "The Eternal Life", then Xu Ziling would be more confident.
How to fool a stone dragon who likes Taoism and prays to become a god in practice "The Eternal Life"? Xu Ziling feels that he must use very special techniques, but doing so will have certain dangers... No matter what, for the future, to become stronger, and to reverse his destiny, Xu Ziling is going to make a decision on this "The Eternal Life"!
Reality is so cruel.
Before he could step into the hall with a scent of sandalwood, he even stepped over the courtyard gate and there was a clear and soft voice in the hall where the gate was closed and said gently: "Just put down the things."
The master's meaning is very simple. He asked Xu Ziling to put down his things and leave, and don't stay here to disturb his practice. Although Xu Ziling knew from Gui Xingrong that there would be such consequences from the beginning, he still felt a little discouraged. He didn't even look at him, how could he convince the number one master of Yangzhou Shi Long to give himself the book "The Art of Eternal Life" that is regarded as a treasure?
This is simply too difficult.
However, Xu Ziling decided to give it a try. He stood there quietly without making a sound.
He couldn't speak because when facing a number one master in Yangzhou whom he had never met, he would be completely at a disadvantage if he spoke up on his own initiative. For a real master, he must keep enough mysterious.
So, he kept standing quietly.
It's like a wooden man.
"Is there anything else?" The people inside seemed strange and a little impatient.
Although his voice was still calm, Xu Ziling knew that his first plan was almost successful, and he had aroused the other party's curiosity. Xu Ziling asked calmly: "I heard that the master has a book called "The Eternal Life Skill", right?"
When the person in the hall heard this, he asked a little annoyed and surprised. Although his voice was gentle, there was a hint of undetectable Lin Lie: "Where did you know that I have this book? Who told you?"
"An old god in the dream."
Xu Ziling replied calmly: "He said that if you are not qualified enough, it will be difficult to understand the mystery, so I will ask me to help explain it to you."
"What?" The people in the hall were shocked when they heard this. There was a sound of a table turning over, and then the closed door slammed and shattered. Someone rushed to Xu Ziling with a strong wind. Xu Ziling let the strong wind sway left and right, and the center of gravity was lost. However, he tried his best to stand firm, and his expression on his face was still light, like a pool of water.
The stone dragon looks a bit ancient.
With clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes and five long beards, at first glance, it looks like a fairy-like look.
He was staring at Xu Ziling in front of him. After a long time, he withdrew his inquiring gaze. He closed his eyes slightly, stroked his beard under his jaw and said, "You little kid don't even have any martial arts skills, but you dare to speak wildly? Who instructed you to say this to me?"
"You should invite me in for a cup of tea first." Xu Ziling tried his best to relax his tone, not even looking at Shi Long in front of him, but only looking at his hands.
Shi Long also saw Xu Ziling's hands. These hands were a little thin, but they were washed clean and their skin was very warm.
These were not what Shi Long was interested in. What he was interested in, or even the amazing words of the young man. What he was interested in was just the things on his hand. There was a small teacup on it, a very ordinary teacup, and there was even a little gap on it. It was in the palm of his hand, quietly, as if it was always there.
But Shi Long knew that just before the blink of an eye, there was nothing on his palm.
Shi Long couldn't see how that teacup was transformed.
He looked again almost incredible. He shook his head first and calmed down. This time, the teacup did not disappear as he thought, and it did not disappear.
However, in the teacup, there was a glass of water inexplicably, not much or too much, just a full cup.
It used to be an empty cup, but now it has a full cup of water.
Before, there was no cup...
The aura of the stone dragon suddenly condensed.
Xu Ziling picked up the teacup and killed the cup of clear water in one gulp. In front of Shi Long's stunned face, he sighed and said, "Since Master Shilong refuses to invite the kid in to have a cup of tea, then kid has said goodbye."
Before he could finish speaking, he turned around and left.
If Shi Long would let Xu Ziling go now, he would be the biggest fool in the world! His body moved, and he had already stopped in front of Xu Ziling, and reached out to show his hand to the hall, laughing and said, "Since you are destined to meet, how could Shi Long be stingy with a cup of tea! Shi Long is a mortal in the turbid world. He has eyes but no beads, so don't be surprised if there is any strangeness. Please come in."
"Please." Xu Ziling said politely, but he was not polite in his behavior and stepped into the hall first.
At this moment, his throat quietly swallowed a mouthful of very difficult saliva.
He knew that things finally went as he planned. Although he exposed the ability of the storage of the Guangyu Slip, he didn't know whether it was a disaster or a blessing, but if he didn't do that, even if he turned the lotus, he would definitely not impress this stone dragon without desire.
After a while, Shi Long finally believed that the young man in front of him was really a dream sent by an immortal to guide him in practicing Taoism. At least, the mysterious magic taught by the immortal in his dream could be clearly seen clearly. Although, for a moment, he could not find out more secrets of this mysterious young man, as long as he stayed, he was afraid that there would be no chance?
Shi Long was also a little afraid that as soon as he took out the book "The Eternal Life Skill" and let the other party take it away.
But he studied hard for more than a year and was still confused and gained nothing. Now there is a chance in front of him, and he will fight for it no matter how much. More importantly, the young man in front of him knows martial arts at all, and is not afraid of any tricks.
Xu Ziling did not take the "Eternal Life Skill" handed over by Shi Long because he knew it was not the time.
"This book cannot be practiced properly. In the mildest, the meridians will be damaged, and in the severest, the death will be lost." Xu Ziling said lightly: "There are many reasons why it is not possible to practice. For Master Shilong, there is only one kind."
"What is it?" Shi Long asked in a state of emotion.
"Master Shilong's mountain-pushing skills have been abilities for decades, and they are very hot." Xu Ziling glanced at Shilong who was listening to Jing, lowered his eyelids and said, "For others, this is a great thing, but for Master Shilong who is determined to seek the Tao, it is just a high and large demon obstacle. If you want to eliminate this demon obstacle, there is only one way."
"What method?" Shi Long was about to make Xu Ziling, who spoke as slowly as warm as water, exploded.
"Eliminate all the skills." Xu Ziling said it easily.
This sentence turned into a thunder thunder in Shilong's ears.
He was completely stunned.
"Just that's it, it's not enough." Xu Ziling tried his best to put straw on the camel that was about to crush him.
He didn't look at Shi Long, who was trembling all over his body, and said lightly: "You have to find someone who is the best qualified, practice with Master Shi Long, complement each other and improve together. In this way, the yin and yang can be matched together, the dragon and tiger are harmonious, and the heaven and earth are united. As long as this is the case, the "Eternal Life Art" will be practiced for one day. Otherwise, the blind man will always touch the elephant and have to have a corner."
"Who is that person with high qualifications?" Shi Long's voice trembled slightly, and his mind seemed to be shocked. His eyes flashed with cold murderous intent. He was guessing whether the young man in front of him was using himself, whether he was using himself to cross the bridge, and used himself as a springboard to practice "The Art of Eternal Life"!
"Kou Zhong." Xu Ziling suddenly smiled and said, "A young man about the same size as me."
Shi Long felt even more surprised when he heard that the boy in front of him was not going to train himself.
He looked at Xu Ziling for a while with disbelief, but Xu Ziling sat quietly, sitting like a stone statue. His breath was as calm as a lake, quiet and far-reaching, and calm.
"Where is he?" Shi Longxin finally moved a little and asked, "Where is that young man named Kou Zhong?"
"I can help you find him." Xu Ziling finally glanced at Shi Long seriously and said, "But before you practice, you have to promise me something."
"What's the matter?" Shi Long's heart arose again. What are the conditions that he has just raised now?
"You swear." Xu Ziling's tone was as light as an old woman who had been vegetarian for more than 50 years, and said: "Swear, you must never reveal to anyone what I just told you, what I saw, and what I made in the future. If it works, then I will go back and bring Kou Zhong. If it doesn't work, then Master Shilong will study it slowly by himself."
Shi Long looked at the "Eternal Life Skill" in his hand, which is neither gold, paper nor silk.
He didn't say a word for a long time.
Xu Ziling sat there quietly, waiting quietly. He did not urge him, nor did he get up to leave, nor did he even look at Shi Long. He closed his eyes, as if he was thinking hard, and he seemed to be meditating in meditation. There was no breath on his body, just like a pool of water, and the ancient well was not waxing.
Shi Long swallowed a mouthful of saliva, the difficulty was no less than the one that Xu Ziling secretly swallowed when he entered the hall just now.
Chapter completed!
