Chapter 117: The true meaning of the turtle shape, you will understand it at once
After hearing what Yun Xiaomei said, Chen Jue immediately became interested. The proficiency of the small and large circulations had been stuck at Lv0 (11/100) for a long time, and he had long wanted to use some tonic to break through it.
During this period of time, I have been walking through the old forest of Gongshan for several days, intending to look for traces of wild medicinal herbs.
When Chen Jue accompanied Wang Biao to visit the scenic spot before, he also read the information in the scenic spot, which said that several local ethnic minorities have their own secret recipes and ancient prescriptions passed down.
Many of these secret recipes and folk remedies have been studied and analyzed by modern medical methods, and only a few have been interrupted and lost.
Perhaps only in some mountain villages like the Dulong people, which adhere to primitive traditions, are there still some heritage that is unknown to outsiders.
For example, Qu Huanzhang, who was famous in history, learned martial arts from Wudang Sect, then traveled to famous mountains in southern Yunnan, learned from Shennong and tasted hundreds of herbs. He did not hesitate to ask questions and sought advice from local ethnic minority witch doctors. He combined local specialty herbs to refine the Baibao Pill, which is specially used to treat injuries, remove blood stasis, stop bleeding, promote blood circulation and relieve pain. It is what we now call Yunnan Baiyao.
"Is there really such a medicine? Does it have a name? Can you help me prepare some, even without using medicinal herbs from the mountains?" Chen Jue said very sincerely.
"It has a name! This medicine is called Jinlu in Chinese. Brother Chen Jue, do you really want to buy it?"
"My mother-in-law is the only one who knows how to make Jinlu. I also know a little bit, but the efficacy of my recipe is not as good as that of my mother-in-law. Moreover, this medicine is very expensive. Even if you go to the town to get the herbs, a small bottle will cost several thousand yuan!" Yun Xiaomei introduced.
"Golden Dew? Thousands of dollars for a small bottle? That's a bit expensive indeed!"
"Can you help me prepare ten bottles first so I can try the efficacy of the medicine?" Chen Jue was moved when he heard this. He could tell that Yun Xiaomei was not lying.
She was a natural born tiger who followed nature's lead and was innocent and romantic. She was also a self-taught master of Xingyi. She would never cheat Chen Jue for such a small amount of money.
"It will take a long time to make ten bottles. We have to wait at least more than a month." Yun Xiaomei gestured at the size of the bottles, which were about the size of a can of Coke.
"It's okay. I'm not afraid of waiting. When your mother-in-law is done, she can just express it to me." Chen Jue was happy to see Yun Xiaomei agreed. It was like he had fulfilled his wish of going into the mountains to find medicine in disguise.
…
The two of them walked and talked, and when they passed through a slippery mountain forest, Yun Xiaomei said that she wanted to take Chen Jue to see the turtle grandfather she mentioned.
Chen Jue was also curious, so he followed her, walking on the slippery moss and muddy mountains, all the way to a small waterfall with gurgling water.
The waterfall is only a few meters high and is surrounded by dense forests. There should be water flowing down from a stream above it, and below the waterfall is a small pond about ten meters wide.
The pond was not deep, but the water was extremely turbid due to the impact of the falling waterfall.
Yun Xiaomei put down the backpack, took out a bag of turtle food from the basket, then took off her shoes, revealing a pair of snow-white tender feet, rolled up her trouser legs, and walked slowly into the depths of the pond.
When we got close to the place where the waterfall fell, a pitch-black mountain turtle as big as an off-road vehicle tire slowly crawled out from a slippery cave behind the waterfall.
Yun Xiaomei reached out and picked up the big black mountain turtle, brought it to the shore, and then began to feed it slowly with turtle food.
"Such a big mountain turtle?"
"This should be called the legendary turtle on the ground!" Chen Jue was also shocked by the size of this mountain turtle.
I have seen people raising extremely ferocious alligator snapping turtles on the Internet before, but in front of this black mountain turtle, it is like a younger brother.
"Grandpa Turtle is over 200 years old this year! Grandma said she saw it here when she was young!"
"He's just a little lazy and often hides in that hole." Yun Xiaomei introduced, feeding him turtle food bit by bit.
During this time, Chen Jue also sensed the extremely subtle fluctuations of tortoise breath from her, which was calm and gentle, with restrained qi and blood. It was indeed very similar to the breath emitted by this giant mountain tortoise.
In addition to the big follower beast that Chen Jue met before, which she called the Flower Tiger, it turned out that this little sister Yun had mastered the advanced skills of tiger and leopard thunder sound and turtle-shaped fetal breathing that martial artists dream of without realizing it.
"After all, he is an elder who is over 200 years old. I should feed him too!" Chen Jue squatted down, took half a bag of turtle food from Yun Xiaomei, and spread his hands to the big black mountain turtle.
This old mountain turtle must have smelled the innate aura emanating from Chen Jue. It was not afraid of strangers and stretched its head to eat all the turtle food in Chen Jue's hand.
"Sister Yun, do you go into the mountains to feed them every day?" Chen Jue asked.
"Not every day. I have to help my mother-in-law prepare medicine! Sometimes I come every few days. I come more frequently recently because the old black bear gave birth to cubs, so I go into the mountains more frequently to bring them milk." Yun Xiaomei explained.
After feeding the turtle and touching it affectionately, Yun Xiaomei then carried the turtle into the pond.
The seemingly slow-moving giant tortoise suddenly moved as fast as a rabbit after touching the water. It flew out like an arrow, slid along the water surface, and returned to the cave behind the waterfall in a few moves.
"This guy is almost a spirit!" Chen Jue was amazed. In the Turtle Form Boxing, there is a move called "Turtle Listening to Thunder" to avoid attacks.
It is said that when one reaches a high level of practice, one can even dodge bullets aimed at one's hands and feet.
Before practicing martial arts, Chen Jue was a little skeptical, thinking that this turtle, which was known for its slowness, had no way of having such a quick reaction ability.
But after seeing the instantaneous burst of energy from the old mountain turtle as it glided close to the water , Chen Jue felt that the true meaning of the turtle shape was what truly fitted the boxing principle of using slow to defeat fast and striking as fast as thunder.
No wonder the Wudang founder Sanfeng was able to realize simple and profound Kung Fu such as Tai Chi and Xuanwu Gong from the fight between a tortoise and a snake.
However, the girl next to Chen Jue, Yun Xiaomei, who follows the laws of nature, was born with forty teeth and has the appearance of an ancient saint, may be even better than historical figures such as Master Sanfeng.
Just like what the dragon said in the previous article: "Clothes are not as good as new, people are not as good as old, times are changing, and boxing and martial arts must also be updated."
Modern humans have access to more complete knowledge and information, better material living conditions, and less survival pressure from famine and war like in history. Among a population base of billions, the emergence of a few modern eccentrics like Yun Xiaomei who can observe animals and create their own methods of cultivation is actually not a big deal at all.
Unless someone suddenly awakens an invisible and intangible attribute panel like Chen Jue, that would be the most surprising!
…
After feeding the old mountain turtle, Chen Jue followed Yun Xiaomei's footsteps and walked out of the deep mountains and forests.
During this period, Chen Jue also specifically explained to Yun Xiaomei some training methods and principles of alchemy and boxing, and even demonstrated a few simple Tai Chi stances and fighting moves in front of her. She was naturally intelligent and learned them in no time.
He even combined what he had learned about tortoise-shaped fetal breathing, and integrated the essence of the old mountain tortoise's "still as a woman, swift as a rabbit" into every move of the newly learned Tai Chi. Chen Jue was amazed.
He felt that if he didn't have this attribute panel, he would be even worse than this little sister Yun who learned from nature in terms of comprehension and learning martial arts!
The other party has a pure nature and spends all day with mountain creatures. His thoughts are not as complicated as those of people like Chen Jue who have experienced society, so he learns things naturally very quickly.
"I'll send you all the information about those boxing techniques and martial arts later. You can learn them when you have time. They will strengthen your body and can also be used for self-defense."
"Okay! Thank you, Brother Chen Jue!"
The two of them walked together all the way and it took them three hours to get out of the forest.
When they arrived at a mountain road that had not yet been paved with cement, Chen Jue took out his mobile phone and took a look. He found that there was already a signal. Chen Jue asked for Yun Xiaomei's contact information and added her WeChat.
The avatar is a white cloud floating in the blue sky, quiet and carefree, which really fits Yun Xiaomei's innocent, romantic and non-confrontational personality.
Yun Xiaomei also took out her smartphone and passed the friend request verification in front of her. Then Chen Jue not only sent the mobile phone inventory information, but also transferred the money for the reservation of Jinlu.
Ten bottles of golden dew cost a total of more than 80,000 yuan, which was considered to have emptied out part of Chen Jue's savings.
