Holy Bone

Chapter 36 "Road 36 Tombstone Opener"

Zhang Lingyun: "I can recommend someone for Young Master Jin'an."

"That person's name is He Cheng."

"Perhaps few people in Chang County know about this person."

"But when it comes to more than ten years ago, even in Fucheng, many people have heard of this person's name."

"He Cheng went to Fucheng in his early years and became famous for a while. However, because of improper martial arts practice all the year round, he was left with a chronic illness and was riddled with illness. Unfortunately, when he was less than [-] years old, he returned to his hometown of Changxian with his chronic illness and retired from the rivers and lakes. already."

"He Cheng became famous in his early years with two stunts."

"One is the hard qigong "36 Routes Opening Steles"."

"The second is the "Lack of Swords in the Ground"."

"Among them the strongest is the hard qigong "36 Road Kai Bei Shou". "Di Que Knife Technique" is similar to the "Blood Knife Sutra" learned by Mr. Jin'an. , although they are both third-rate martial arts, they are the top of the third-rate martial arts."

"This is a martial art for bone training. He Cheng used this hard qigong to train his muscles and bones when he was young. He has amazing strength, and combined with the "Die Que Dao Technique", he made a name for himself in the city where martial arts people gather. head."

"It's just a pity, hard qigong is the most likely to damage the body, so when cultivating, it is often necessary to exhaust a lot of family wealth to nourish the body with medicinal stones, so as to keep up with the damage of the body. To avoid damage to the root and chronic diseases."

"If you just practice hard, after you pass the peak age of 30 and enter the age of vitality decline, various diseases and tortures will start to follow."

"First, there is joint pain all over the body; then the viscera and meridians are slowly broken, and he coughs up blood; finally, he is paralyzed on the couch. If the family is rich and spends all the money to hang his life with medicine stones, he may still be able to survive until the age of 50. If it is an ordinary family, it is gone. Medicine stone hangs your life, forty is the limit."

"And He Cheng belongs to the latter."

"When he was young, his family was poor, and he got the "36 Road Kaibei Shou" by chance. Because he couldn't afford medicine stones to nourish his body, he practiced recklessly. When he was young, his body was full of vitality, and he didn't realize it. When he was 30 years old Peak vitality, hidden dangers immediately appear."

"So, He Cheng only became famous for five or six years, and it was like a flash in the pan. He quit the rivers and lakes early and returned to Chang County. In the second half of his life, he spent all the gold and silver that he earned in his early years on buying medicine to prolong his life. Go on. The famous swordsman back then is now just a sick old man who can't even afford a coin or two of life-sustaining medicine every month."

"I was even afraid of being approached by enemies in the rivers and lakes in my later years, and I have been hiding in anonymity, and no one cares."

"If Mr. Jin'an really needs martial arts, I can introduce Mr. Jin'an. He Cheng is in desperate need of money to continue his life. If Mr. Jin'an comes to the door at this time, he wants to buy his "36 Road Kaibeishou" and "District" "Lack of Sword Technique", presumably He Cheng will not refuse Mr. Jin'an."

"But I still have to remind Young Master Jin An that although Hard Qigong works faster than Neijia exercises, if you are a little careless in your practice, you will suffer from serious ailments and hidden dangers. If Young Master Jin An listens to his advice, he still insists on finding He Cheng, I can continue to introduce you to Young Master Jin An."

Here, Zhang Lingyun and Jin An were talking to themselves in whispers. Over there, chickens and dogs jumped around in the lobby. The shopkeeper Zhang held a feather duster and was still chasing the girl in a circle.

But shopkeeper Zhang broke his leg, and still couldn't catch up with the two short legs of the child.

Shopkeeper Zhang was so angry that his face turned pale.

……

After half a day.

On the west street corner of Changxian County, in an alley surrounded by low-rise private houses, Jin An and Zhang Lingyun walked out from one of the old, cracked, and dilapidated gates of a poor family.

A skinny old man with a look of excitement and gratefulness sent the two out.

When you walk out of the narrow alleys, you will be back on the lively street with endless flow of people. People bathe in the sun, and even their hearts bring their own sunshine.

Zhang Lingyun, who has a white forehead, her eyes are bright, and she seems to be in a good mood.

"I didn't expect that Young Master Jin'an was actually a Taoist. Taoist people pay attention to health preservation and longevity. Young Master Jin'an gave He Cheng a breath of elixir and helped He Cheng re-regulate the yin and yang of his body and the vitality of the five internal organs. This is more precious than ordinary people picking up ten thousand taels of gold. Originally, it was the young master of Jin'an who came to the door, but now it has become He Chengyou's request for the young master of Jin'an. Life is really impermanent."

After Zhang Lingyun finished speaking, she asked Jin An again, "I don't know where Jin An's son-in-law is going?"

"Master?" Jin An said lightly, seeming to be distracted.

"I'm a Taoist with five internal organs."

"My teacher is a Taoist with five internal organs."

Jin An quickly recovered, and then smiled frankly and freely.

"Five viscera Taoism? I once read a book "Qishan Miscellaneous", which mentioned that Taoism is also divided into several sects, one of the most famous sects is the Quanzhen sect. Master Jin An, are you Quanzhen sect? ?"

After listening to it, Jin An smiled and said, "Five viscera Taoism is regarded as a small Taoist temple under Zhengyi, and it is not Quanzhenism."

The two walked side by side, Zhang Lingyun's face was beautiful and flawless, her skin was as white as jade, and her skin seemed to glow in the noon sun: "Zhengyi? Quanzhen Sect? Can you tell me the difference?"

Jin An thought about it for a while. He was also a beginner, and he didn't know much about them, so he replied: "The Quanzhen Sect cannot marry a wife and have children. Is it okay with Zhengyi? There are no restrictions on marrying a wife and having children."

Zhang Lingyun nodded quietly.

"However, this time, Young Master Jin An took action to regulate his body functions. It can be seen that He Cheng's complexion is much more rosy today, and Young Master Jin An's elixir is very effective for He Cheng. Young Master Jin An helps He Cheng to recuperate several times. , presumably He Cheng's chronic disease will soon be eradicated."

Unexpectedly, the look on Jin An's face was not as optimistic as Zhang Lingyun's.

"He is terminally ill, and his internal organs are severely degraded. Even if I help him re-organize the yin and yang of his body and the vital functions of his five internal organs, he has already lost his ability to recover. He can prolong his life for at most ten years, and he still cannot escape the pain and die."

Zhang Lingyun: "Young Master Jin'an, you have been photographed, and you want to make everything perfect, but in this world, the flowers will wither, the grass will wither, and even the sun and moon above your head will also be cloudy and sunny, what is there? Can things be perfect?"

"He Cheng is in his forties this year. If he lives another ten years, he will be 53 years old. For ordinary people, he has already lived a long life."

Jin An was stunned for a moment, then smiled, and the haze in his heart disappeared.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Lingyun, who looked cold and difficult to get along with, would sometimes comfort others.

The ancients were limited by sanitary conditions and backward medical conditions, and their average life expectancy was very short, with an average life expectancy of about 50 years.

Like a 70-year-old man, he is already a birthday star.

He Cheng did not practice martial arts properly in his early years, and his body suffered serious disabilities and diseases. He was indeed lucky to live to be 53 years old.

The two did not go back immediately afterward. Jin An accompanied Zhang Lingyun to the fair, and took the opportunity to buy a box of Red Moon Rouge, which is said to be very famous among the nobles in the northern capital, and gave it to Zhang Lingyun as a token of thanks.

Then at a pharmacy, I took the medicine according to the prescription for strengthening the muscles and strengthening the bones recorded in "36 Road Kaibeishou", and the two of them walked side by side, walking around all the way, and it was almost dusk when they returned to the inn.

When he was about to arrive at the inn, Jin An bought a box of cakes and brought it to the greedy Fu Luoli.
