Chapter 78 A Small Thing
"Eight Secrets of Heavenly Sword": It was created during the Sui and Tang Dynasties. It was created by Song Que, a master of the Song family in Lingnan. It is said that when he was young, he created the Eight Secrets of Swordsmanship based on the soft and agile characteristics of his family heirloom sword [Narcissus Sword]. Each secret has ten swords, a total of eighty swords. When performing it, it is like a fairy riding the wind, with mist and cloud shadows, with a myriad of artistic conception and exquisiteness...
"Yeah, not a single word has been changed, pure copy and paste!"
Cao Jinxing read those lines of introduction and gained a deeper understanding of the shamelessness of the plan.
"The Xiuchun Knife has a slender shape, which perfectly matches the characteristics of using a knife. Moreover, the knife moves follow the water element, which should be the most suitable knife technique for me among the five-grade ones."
The old Taoist priest was not surprised at his choice at all. He told him the location of the secret book. Cao Jinxing took the key and went up to the fourth floor of the secret library.
Having been here just once a month ago, he was familiar with the place and quickly found the secret book. However, he did not practice it directly, but first looked at the "Yin Yuan Jue".
This is a martial art that can conceal internal strength and restrain qi.
The book says that if one cultivates to the highest level, one can even avoid the mysterious "Heaven's Calculation".
"I just want to mention this... Is there really a secret technique that can see through the laws of nature?"
Cao Jinxing has been in this world for such a long time that he has been mentally prepared for all kinds of anomalies: "Just like Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng who claim to know the past 500 years and the future 500 years? That's too absurd!"
Upon learning that the Master of Langya Pavilion might be a disciple of Tianji Sect, Cao Jinxing made a special investigation and had a certain understanding of this mysterious thing.
There are eight natural forces between heaven and earth, and the human body can also cultivate eight kinds of true qi.
Heaven, earth, mountain, swamp, wind, thunder, water, fire... Among them, "heaven" is the most difficult and the most mysterious.
This category originated from the same book.
——"The Book of Changes".
The Book of Changes is called the first of all classics and the source of the great way because its creator, King Wen of Zhou, was the first human being to sense the mysterious heavenly way.
The moon waxes and wanes, and people are subject to misfortunes and blessings at any time.
Everything in the world has its own rules to follow.
Those who practice the secret art of "Tian" can calculate a vague and possible result based on various known conditions and rules.
The deeper the “Heaven” Qi, the more one can sense the mysterious Heavenly Dao, and thus gain more feedback. The higher the accuracy, the more profound the calculations.
A moist ground can predict rain, a halo around the moon can predict wind. These are just routine operations that anyone can see. Being able to calculate how heavy the rain will fall and when the wind will stop by observing the changes in the celestial phenomena is considered an expert. Then, based on a gust of wind in Chang'an, you can calculate that there will be heavy rain three thousand miles to the northwest. This is an expert. When you reach the level of Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang, you can already calculate that the Tang Dynasty will last less than three hundred years based on three leaves falling from a tree...
It's so fucking outrageous!
Fortunately.
There are only a few monsters like this in five thousand years, otherwise the world would be in chaos.
Cao Jinxing has no talent in this area. With his less than 10 blessings, he should be considered a person despised by heaven. No matter how high his comprehension is, he cannot reach the threshold.
After learning about the existence of "Heaven's Way", Cao Jinxing was very glad that he still had some blessings.
If it were any lower, I would choke to death while drinking cold water or fall to death while walking...
Cao Jinxing shook his head, got rid of the messy thoughts in his head, and decided to learn "Yin Yuan Jue" first .
As for whether this martial art is useful in avoiding divination, we will have to wait until someone uses this kind of technique to divine on him in the future to find out.
“Hopefully we can prevent it before it happens.”
Cao Jinxing didn't have much hope for this, but he still practiced very seriously.
This cheat is difficult!
Cao Jinxing spent more than an hour carefully reading it all before he fully understood it.
After mastering the technique, all his internal strength was hidden in his dantian, as still as a pool of stagnant water. From the outside, at this moment, he was just an ordinary person who didn't know any martial arts.
Not only that.
If someone closes his eyes and uses his true Qi to perceive, he will find that there is nothing where he is!
…
at the same time.
Thousands of miles away, on Mount Langya, the current leader of the Tianji Sect, the master mentioned by the Langya Pavilion Master - Tianji Twenty-Five, was looking up at the sky on the top of the mountain.
It was now bright daylight.
Under the clear blue sky.
There is only a red sun and a few white clouds.
But in the eyes of Tianji Twenty-Five, the world was desolate and the stars were shining!
suddenly.
The brightest new star in the north quietly faded away without a trace.
Tianji Twenty -Five smiled slightly, not surprised: "Good boy, "Hidden Yuan Jue"... Lu Fu, is it your work? Hahaha, interesting, interesting!"
…
In comparison, "Eight Secrets of the Heavenly Sword" was much simpler and took less than a quarter of an hour to practice.
Cao Jinxing pretended for a while until the afternoon, when Liu Zhenyuan sent someone to call him.
"Don't worry. You just came back, so it's impossible for us to assign you a duty. Go back to guard the prison tomorrow."
Liu Zhenyuan got straight to the point and said, "I went to Liaodong twelve and a half months ago, and the successor also went to Shandong today. There are only a few hundred households there now, and I am worried."
"good."
Cao Jin enjoyed himself and had a leisurely time.
"Also, there is one more small matter..."
“…”
Cao Jinxing was speechless, he knew it wasn’t that simple!
“It’s really a small matter.”
Liu Zhenyuan smiled and said, "We are short of manpower now, otherwise this situation wouldn't have fallen on you... The pattern of the ghost market has changed, did you know?"
"I heard Jiaming mention it."
Cao Jinxing said, "It seems that the person who kidnapped Huang Fangling last time has been found. It seems that he is related to the other two families. I didn't ask for details."
"good."
Liu Zhenyuan said: "The Wu family was the mastermind, and a branch of the Chen family was also involved. This was originally an internal dispute in the Ghost Market, and it was no big deal. But yesterday, Twelve went to Liaodong to investigate the horse market, and accidentally found that the Wanma Gang, which was in charge of the civilian horse market, was actually related to this robbery. This is a bit interesting."
Liu Zhenyuan picked up a document and handed it to Cao Jinxing: "The Wanma Gang is the largest horse trading organization in the Liaodong folk horse market, and the gang's influence is spread throughout Liaodong! Their every move is under the surveillance of the Jinyiwei. The gang leader Wang Zhengkai is a descendant of a loyal and righteous man. He has led the gang members to resist the Mongolian Tartars several times. According to common sense, they should not bypass us and get involved in such things. But since we have found out, we must find out. A thousand-mile dam can be breached by an ant hole, so we have to be on guard. You have done a great favor to the Huang family, and they should trust you very much. You can help investigate and see what this matter has to do with the Wanma Gang. Don't be deliberate, just pay attention."
"good."
It is to see if the Wanma Gang has any ill intentions without alerting the enemy... This is a simple matter, just ask the Huang family.
The eldest daughter was almost captured, so the Huang family must hate the Wu and Chen families to the core, and they will not give up until they find out the root cause.
"I hope there won't be any trouble."
Liu Zhenyuan sighed.
He suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, especially after handing this "little thing" to Cao Jinxing, the feeling inexplicably became stronger...
