Chapter 57 The Interaction Between Heaven and Man
I heard that the two contestants in this competition were old acquaintances.
Li Cunzhen thought it was quite a coincidence. The Lu family's birthday banquet in this life was very different from that in the previous life, yet these two still ended up facing each other.
Then he turned his head to look.
Lu Jin, needless to say, remained the same.
With delicate features, almond-shaped eyes, and white hair, he resembled a celestial child who had fallen from the heavens.
Liu Deshui was quite different from the simple, chubby boy in the courtyard of the Sanyi Gate.
He was dressed in a black outfit, walking with a powerful stride and a calm demeanor. Years of rigorous physical training had left his hands covered in thick calluses, giving him a fierce air.
At the same time, Lu Jin noticed that his fingers were evenly spaced, indicating that he must be proficient in acupressure techniques.
Look at Liu Deshui now.
Lu Jin was also somewhat surprised.
"Brother Liu, it's been many years. I didn't know you'd been diligently practicing at the Yanwu Hall all this time."
When they parted ways at the Lower House, Shuiyun told Lu Jin that Liu Deshui would have better prospects if he left the Sanyi Sect.
He knew that Liu Deshui would not stop his spiritual practice.
I never expected that I would join the Yanwu Hall.
Although Yanwutang is a newly established sect, its strength and heritage are remarkable. It integrates various boxing styles such as Xingyi, Tongbei, and Bajiquan, collectively known as Chinese martial arts.
Lu Jin is no longer the naive child she once was.
With his current insight, he could naturally see that this kind of external martial arts training was more suitable for Liu Deshui, who was tall, heavy, and could endure hardship.
He couldn't help but feel grateful for his master Zuo Ruotong's painstaking efforts.
Hearing Lu Jin's words.
Liu Deshui smiled and responded.
"I wouldn't dare say I've made any progress..."
"Anyway, the Liu Deshui of today is a completely different person from the ignorant fool he once was."
The voice just fell.
The bell rang.
In an instant, Liu Deshui's aura changed again, with pale red flames appearing around him and a sharp glint in his eyes, like a fierce tiger in the mountains.
Then, he leaped into the air at incredible speed, arriving in front of Lu Jin in the blink of an eye.
At the same time, he threw a punch straight at Lu Jin's left flank.
"Young Master Lu, I've arrived!"
Lu Jin realized that the attack was powerful and heavy, and he could not be careless. He quickly used the Reverse Life technique and raised his left arm to block.
boom!
The two bodies collided, and for a moment they were evenly matched.
Looking at Lu Jin, whose skin was fair and radiant after using the Reverse Life technique, Liu Deshui couldn't help but think of himself back then.
After all these years, seeing the Sanyi Gate again still evokes a lot of emotions.
Unfortunately, he was destined to be reborn three times over.
Lu Jin, on the other hand, looked at this former roommate from the lower courtyard with new respect.
If it weren't for Ni Sheng, he might not have been able to withstand that attack.
Neither of them spoke. After regaining their balance, they flew towards each other again.
Every punch landed with a visceral impact; the fight was extremely intense.
However, although the two seem evenly matched for the time being.
However, Li Cunzhen quickly realized that Liu Deshui was no match for Lu Jin.
This is because the regenerative ability of the Triple Rebirth is unparalleled in the world.
Those who practice external martial arts can be quickly suppressed; otherwise, once a stalemate ensues, they will inevitably be worn down and killed by the regenerative abilities of the Triple Rebirth Technique.
Moreover, Lu Jin's speed and strength were actually half a step ahead of Liu Deshui's.
However, their fighting skills were inferior to those of Liu Deshui, who specialized in martial arts, which led to a brief stalemate.
Of course, Li Cunzhen didn't actually need to make a judgment.
The original work did provide a conclusion.
I watched it for a while.
Li Cunzhen lost interest and went to find Zhuge Yunhui as promised.
This time, the two knew the way well and quickly arrived at the secluded spot they had visited before.
to the place.
Zhuge Yunhui could no longer contain himself.
"Master, is that the technique for manipulating territory the one the leader of the Jiyun Society just mentioned, the one that reverses the eight directions? Could you exchange it with my Wuhou Sect?"
Li Cunzhen nodded.
"That's right, the technique I used earlier was exactly the reverse of the eight directions."
"As for whether it can be given to the Wuhou faction..."
Li Cunzhen looked at Zhuge Yunhui and shook his head.
"Young Master Yunhui, you're also in this circle. Although Jiyun Society is quite far from Zhuge Village, you should know a little about the situation."
"It has been passed down for thousands of years, but it has always been regarded as a variety show troupe."
"Now we finally have a practical means to establish our own sect. If you were in their shoes, what price would you be willing to pay to trade with another sect?"
Zhuge Yunhui was taken aback upon hearing this.
He had been confused by his concern, but after Li Cunzhen's reminder, he quickly came to his senses.
Today, the concept of "reversing the eight directions" applies to Jiyun Society.
It's probably like the Samadhi Fire to the Wuhou School, or the Five Thunder Orthodox Method to the Celestial Master's Mansion.
They must be hiding this technique like a treasure!
Don't tell anyone!
He immediately lowered his head, feeling dejected and even utterly hopeless.
Li Cunzhen looked at Zhuge Yunhui, whose emotions were written all over his face, and couldn't help but twitch his lips.
I haven't even finished speaking, why are you in such a hurry?
Then he changed the subject.
"However, as you saw before, I once improved the Reversal of Eight Directions by chance, so the leader of the Jiyun Society allowed me to use this technique outside, and also allowed me to pass it on, but the person who passes it on cannot pass it on to another person."
Upon hearing this, Zhuge Yunhui suddenly looked up.
In just a few words, his mood was like falling from the clouds and then suddenly soaring back to the clouds, experiencing great ups and downs.
He pounded his chest as he spoke.
"Fellow Daoist, speak your mind. What do you desire? As long as it's within my power, I will grant it without hesitation!"
Although it can no longer be passed on, the Wuhou School as a whole cannot benefit from it.
But Zhuge Yunhui as an individual, as a sorcerer.
He remains obsessed with the idea of turning things upside down.
Seeing this, Li Cunzhen nodded and then stated his conditions.
"I want the Wuhou Qimen Dunjia."
Upon hearing this, Zhuge Yunhui's pupils contracted sharply.
Li Cunzhen looked at him and said again.
"I know you can't make this decision on your own. You can go back and discuss it with the other seniors of the Wuhou Sect."
"In exchange, the Wuhou Sect can select three people to learn the Reversal of Eight Directions technique, but they cannot pass it on unless you find a way to get the consent of the Jiyun Society leader."
"Of course, if I were to obtain the Wuhou Qimen, I would not pass it on to anyone else."
"These are the conditions; as for how to achieve mutual trust, that's a matter for later."
Cultivating the Wuhou Qimen was a decision made after careful consideration by Li Cunzhen.
After discovering that reversing the eight directions can indeed affect the Bagua (Eight Trigrams), and not just the force field.
He thought of a road that might lead to heaven.
The interaction between Heaven and humanity.
Or, to put it another way, the unity of man and nature.
The Book of Changes, Cantongqi, states...
The human body is modeled after the heavens and the earth, with the head round like the heavens, the feet square like the earth, the five internal organs representing the five elements, and the four limbs representing the four seasons. The human body is a microcosm.
The Seven Oracles of the Cloudy Bookcase also say so.
The head is round like the sky, the feet are square like the earth, the hair is like the stars, the eyes are like the sun and moon, the eyebrows are like the Big Dipper, the ears are like the state, the mouth is like the rivers, the teeth are like jade, the four limbs are like the four seasons, and the five internal organs are like the five elements.
Li Cunzhen originally did not regard these as cultivation methods.
But now, the Bagua (Eight Trigrams) and the Eight Meridians have truly become a reality.
He couldn't help but think that if he were not limited to the eight meridians, but instead integrated his entire body with the interaction of heaven and earth...
At that time, man was heaven, and heaven was man.
Heaven and man are one.
Isn't he a true immortal?
After all, the original work has already made it clear that one cannot become an immortal through the triple rebirth, so he needs to prepare for his future path in advance.
Of course, cultivating both body and mind is the best path to a successful life.
The concept of the interaction between Heaven and Man can be traced back to the Huang-Lao-Zhuang period, and it is recorded in the Tao Te Ching. It is by no means a heretical doctrine.
The two are by no means mutually exclusive; rather, they are likely to complement each other.
In short, Li Cunzhen decided to give this path a try.
Qimen Dunjia is precisely the method most adept at studying the laws of heaven and earth, and it is an essential method for him to advance on this path in the future.
