Chapter 149: The Wudang Master in the Orthopedic Clinic
"Coo-coo!"
Seeing Chen Jue and Liu Shiqing coming in, the middle-aged Taoist priest's chest vibrated and made two gurgling sounds, then he exhaled from his nose, and the hot air blew away the autumn leaves in the yard. He then stood on his fingers, retracted his legs and stood upside down, and his whole body changed from a suspended posture to a straight upside down posture.
"Wudang Golden Needle Finger Skill!" Chen Jue naturally recognized the double-finger skill of the middle-aged Taoist priest. He himself also learned this finger skill, but he had never done a handstand with the .
After the middle-aged Taoist priest rolled over and stood up, his complexion slowly turned back to rosy red from the purple color just now, which was a sign that he was holding his breath and dissipating his energy.
Just like divers and swimmers take a deep breath before going into the water for training, they will not come up to the surface to breathe again until their faces turn purple. This is a long-term exercise process to strengthen lung capacity.
"Junior brother Shi Qing, you are bringing customers here so early in the morning? My small clinic hasn't even officially opened for business yet." The middle-aged Taoist priest finished his practice. He was about 1.78 meters tall, thin, with a black beard around his mouth, black hair tied in a bun, and slight wrinkles at the corners of his eyes and forehead, but his eyes were extremely bright. It was obvious that he had practiced a secret eye skill similar to the Taoist giant spirit eye.
"Uncle Shizhen! This is the Master Chen Jue whom I mentioned to you last time. He is also the first person in this competition." Liu Shiqing stepped forward to pay his respects and introduced Chen Jue's identity.
"oh?"
"So you are the Master Chen Jue who defeated Master Li!"
"It's really a great honor to meet a noble person! I had the honor of exchanging skills with Master Li a few years ago. He has mastered the Mengcun Bajiquan and Chengmen Baguazhang to perfection, and has practiced the Hengha and Ha Qi to the bone marrow. He is considered one of the most powerful top masters in the world. Since Master Chen Jue was able to win after just a few moves with Master Li, I think his martial arts skills are extremely high."
"I am Huang Shizhen, the fourteenth generation successor of the Wudang Sect, and I'm honored to meet Master !" When Huang Shizhen heard Chen Jue's identity, he was shocked and immediately saluted with his fists.
"Master Huang, you are too kind to me. I have only practiced some Taoist inner alchemy, and have a slight advantage over Master Li Xiang in terms of physical strength. As for my martial arts, they are mostly eclectic. I have practiced some of the boat boxing, Shaolin and Wudang Kung Fu." Chen Jue smiled slightly and returned the salute with a fist.
Judging from Chen Jue's perception, Taoist Master Huang Shizhen's kung fu is also superb, and he has also practiced Taoist internal qigong such as the Golden Toad Kung Fu, combining cultivation and practice into one. Although he is around fifty years old, he looks like he is forty years old, in the prime of his life, and has mastered the skill of nourishing qi.
"Inner alchemy?"
"I didn't expect that Master Chen Jue, so young, could be so proficient in the art of alchemy... Shiqing, go close the door of the clinic and hang up a sign. Since we have a distinguished guest like Chen Jue coming today, I will be closed for a day." Master Huang pondered over Chen Jue's words first, and then gave an instruction to Master Liu Qing.
Liu Shiqing nodded, turned around and went to close the door of the clinic.
Chen Jue had never thought that a Wudang master like Huang Shizhen would be hiding in an inconspicuous orthopedic clinic at the foot of the mountain.
I think it's because the other party is taking the path of combining medicine and martial arts. Plus, in recent years, there have been many apprentices coming to Wudang to learn martial arts, and it's inevitable that there will be injuries during practice. So opening an orthopedic clinic like this will not do too bad of business.
Just like Master Li Wei, although he is a master of Hua Jin, the thing he uses his hands to eat is not martial arts, but the kitchen knives and spatulas in his hands.
This is to integrate spiritual practice into daily life and work without interfering with either, and is an extremely wise way of dealing with the world.
Just as he ordered his nephew to go outside and close the door, Master Huang came over, his nose twitching, as if he caught some strange smell in the air.
He was originally practicing Wudang's Golden Toad Kung Fu. His lung capacity, breathing ability, and sense of smell were far beyond that of ordinary people after years of training. When he got closer, he naturally smelled the strange fragrance emanating from Chen Jue. The smell was like the body odor of a baby, which made him feel invigorated at the first sniff.
"Can you be as soft as a baby by gathering your breath?"
"Oh my! Master Chen Jue, you...you have actually formed a golden elixir! You are no longer a mortal!" Master Huang was shocked, and looked at Chen Jue again. He found that this young man, who he seemed unfathomable before, now seemed to have become round and clear, with a mellow and transparent temperament, like a pill. This is clearly the performance of a Taoist master!
"Master Huang, there's no need to be too surprised. I have made some progress in practicing inner alchemy, and indeed I just formed the golden elixir not long ago." Chen Jue smiled and nodded in acknowledgement.
"OK!"
"A living Golden Elixir Master! I thought that this realm could only be reached by my deceased master and Uncle Luo. I didn't expect that Master Chen Jue would have formed a Golden Elixir at such a young age. Once the Golden Elixir is formed, you will be free from disasters and diseases, and your life will be extended to a hundred years. You will have great blessings. My master achieved the Golden Elixir at the age of sixty and was 116 years old when he passed away." Master Huang looked at Chen Jue with envy.
To practice Taoism, one must obtain the golden elixir, complete the holy fetus, and lay the foundation, and only then can one be considered to have truly embarked on the path of Taoism.
Although Master Huang had been practicing martial arts for over fifty years and his kung fu had penetrated his internal organs and bone marrow, he still saw no hope of forming an elixir.
"Master Huang Daozhang's master lived to be 116 years old?"
"That's indeed a long life!" Chen Jue was also very surprised when he heard it.
There are many elderly people in Chen Jue’s hometown, Chen Village, but I have never heard of anyone who lives over 100 years old.
However, Chen Jue's grandfather celebrated his 98th birthday last year. Although after his mother passed away, Chen Jue rarely interacted with relatives from his mother's side.
However, every time he returned home to visit his relatives during the Spring Festival, Chen Jue would make a special trip to Wen County to visit his grandfather who was still alive, because for Chen Jue, his grandfather was the only relative or elder in the world with whom he had a direct blood relationship.
"Master Chen Jue, can you give me a chance and lend a hand?"
"It has been a long time since I have felt the realm of a Golden Core True Person since my master passed away..." Master Huang put away his shocked expression and replaced it with a very sincere look of seeking advice.
As recorded in the Book of Rites: Learning: "So he was content with his studies and loved his teacher, and was happy with his friends and believed in their teachings."
Having a living Jindan Zhenren in front of him is an object that any cultivator needs to observe and learn from.
Although Chen Jue is young, Taoists believe that the one who is more accomplished comes first. If Huang Shizhen does not step forward and ask for advice humbly at this time, it would be a great opportunity for him.
"Okay! No problem!"
"I came to Wudang this time with the idea of exchanging ideas and discussing Taoism. Taoist Huang, you don't have to be polite. Just give it a try." Chen Jue nodded and stretched out a hand to the other party.
Huang Shizhen showed joy upon seeing this, then he concentrated and calmed himself, and put his hand on Chen Jue's.
"Hiss" a deep breath sound was heard in his ears. At this moment, the Taoist Master Huang Shizhen in front of Chen Jue's chest swelled, and his cheeks and neck bulged as if inflated. Then a sound like muffled thunder rolled out from his body, and a moderate and peaceful light and dark force was transmitted from his hands.
Chen Jue smiled slightly when he saw this, and whispered, "Master Huang, pay attention!" Then he shook his hand in the same way, and a force several times stronger than the opponent's burst out from his hand.
"Um?!"
Huang Shizhen's eyes widened. At this moment, he felt that his hand was not on a person's hand, but like he was clinging to the head of a high-speed locomotive. The force pushing him was as surging as the sea, one wave after another.
The little bit of energy that he had exerted was like a drop in the ocean, disappearing completely in an instant!
"What a powerful strength! What a strong force! Is this the physical strength and explosive power of a Jindan Zhenren?" Master Huang was amazed in his heart, but he did not stop exerting force in his hands.
"Gugu!" Huang Shizhen made another sound from his abdominal cavity. His bulging neck suddenly moved and his throat rolled, as if he had swallowed some panacea.
In Chen Jue's in-depth perception, the opponent's secret technique of sound attack and air swallowing was like a three-legged golden toad opening its mouth, inhaling and swallowing the sun and the moon.
This is the secret skill of Wudang Golden Toad Kung Fu, which can swallow the sun and the moon!
After swallowing a mouthful of the essence of the sun and the moon, Huang Shizhen's entire body's qi and blood began to gather towards the blood gate to the north of his dantian. This is a secret technique similar to the dantian qi attack, which can stimulate the Shangqu point in an instant by swallowing air to move the intestines and stomach. Although it is not as good as the self-restraint of the Jindan Zhenren, it can also make the human body burst out with the so-called Zhenwu divine power in Taoist kung fu in a very short time!
"Coo-coo!"
A long roar like muffled thunder came from Huang Shizhen's abdomen. His whole body turned red from holding his breath, and his eyes bulged out like the eyes of a golden toad. His right hand, which was on Chen Jue's hand, suddenly swelled up, as if it had been inflated , and the force he exerted was much more violent than before.
However, no matter how arrogant this golden toad is, its belly will eventually burst when faced with the endless waves of the ocean.
As soon as Huang Shizhen's strength increased, Chen Jue's force became three times stronger than before. The combination of hardness and softness flowed along Huang Shizhen's arm and went straight through his whole body.
Two loud bangs of "puff" were heard, and the pair of cloud-sock Taoist boots on Huang Shizhen's feet were forcibly pressed into the yellow mud in the yard by the force transmitted by Chen Jue, raising a cloud of dust.
He couldn't hold his breath any longer, and he opened his mouth and spit out a hot stream mixed with the smell of iron. It was obvious that the secret technique of swallowing the sun and the moon had damaged his internal organs, and he suffered considerable internal injuries after the full-strength burst!
