Chapter 15 Cloud Crane Twelve Forms

The little Taoist boy around Yu Qingyue almost caught no one's attention.

He was eleven or twelve years old, with a fair and elegant face, but he was just fair and elegant. He could not use any description of beautiful and elegant spirit.

If you want to talk about the difference between it and an ordinary child, that is, those dark eyes, often look around with curious eyes, and whenever you find something new, your eyes will become focused and serious.

It is said that Yu Qingyue has lived in seclusion in rural Taoist temples for the past ten years. It is not surprising that the Taoist boys around him have never seen the world. Of course, no one paid attention to him, including Yan Li.

As a result, everyone saw that this little Taoist boy named "Guiyun" turned out to be the legendary immortal cultivator!

As soon as Gui Yun spoke, it was completely different from the usual children. His tone was neither naive nor mature, nor flattering, nor sarcastic; he could only tell the truth seriously and straightforwardly.

"The so-called cultivation of immortality is to guide the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into the body, wash the mortal body, and then reach the state of being with light and dust, and living with the sky." Gui Yun introduced, "To guide the spiritual energy, you must have the talent to change the flow of spiritual energy and store the spiritual energy in the body. This is - spiritual roots.

"The five-color wind lamp is a magic weapon used to test the spiritual roots of ordinary people. The five-color light corresponds to the spiritual roots of the five elements. If a person has a spiritual root and stands within three feet of the lamp, the spiritual light of the corresponding attributes will rise greatly." As he said that, the wind lamp floating in Guiyun's hand drifted three feet above his head, and the black light and green light shone at the same time, dazzling.

"Black light and green light represent that my spiritual root attributes are water and wood, and they are also relatively common spiritual roots." Gui Yun explained, pointing at the same time, he walked around Yan Li and Yu Qingyue for a while, but there was no reaction.

"This lamp looks amazing, but it is not very profound - the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is everywhere, but it is thin and rich and slightly different. Anyone with spiritual roots will have a very different flow of spiritual energy around him than ordinary people, so the five-color wind lamp can be tested after entering three feet around him."

"In fact, anyone with spiritual roots has a considerable sense of spiritual changes. The higher the cultivation level, the more sensitive it is, the greater the range of perception. Therefore, unless it is deliberately hidden, it is obvious whether the people around the immortal cultivator have spiritual roots. For immortal cultivators, the only function of the five-color wind lamp is to tell those who do not have spiritual roots: you cannot cultivate immortals. Therefore, it is the most useless magic weapon."

After listening to Gui Yun's introduction, Yan Li had a general understanding of the cultivators in this world.

The cultivators in this world pay more attention to the "art" of gaining power, and ignore the "Tao" that can truly transcend life and death.

Of course, this is normal.

In any world and in any era, practical "art" is more popular than the illusory "Tao". After all, "art" can be inherited, applied in practice, observed, compared, quantified and measured; while Tao can be told, extraordinary Tao - Tao that can be explained is not eternal Tao.

It’s like you are on Earth in the 21st century. When you graduate from college and write a resume to find a job, you must write: Graduate from bioengineering, English CET-6. Recruiters will be very satisfied after reading it, so leave you a contact information.

If you write on it: "If you have been practicing Taoism for ten years, you will be able to understand something after all." The recruiter will directly smash your resume on your face and yell: "Scammer, get out!"

However, Tao is Tao and can never be replaced by "art". To a certain extent, the practitioners in this world have deviated from "Tao".

Yan Li never cared about how others practiced or viewed "Tao" and "art". He just walked his own way and practiced his own "Tao". What he cares most about now is whether the method of cultivating immortals in this world can find a new direction for his own way.

"Do you want to learn the method of cultivating immortals? Yes." Gui Yun still said seriously, "I don't know much. I can only teach you the introductory "Yunhe Palm". Talismans and magic must be used with spiritual cultivation. You can't learn it. Instead, it's the basic alchemy technique. If you want to learn it, I can teach you too."

Gui Yun's pleasure was once again beyond Yan Li's expectations. He thought these methods would take a lot of trouble.

"My sect is not as conservative as other sects. Not to mention the introductory method, even the most profound Taoist method is never kept secret. Whoever has the ability will learn it!" Gui Yun explained, and then read a passage with great pride:

"My writing is at the door of the great way, and those who are mediocre, who can understand it enter my mysterious gate!"

Although this sentence was pronounced from the child's voice, it carries a great spirit. Even a calm and composed person like Yan Li was shocked.

In his mind, there seemed to be a Taoist with a tall crown and wide belt, standing proudly on the top of the sea of ​​clouds, overlooking the vast world, and circulating all his life's learning to pass on to future generations. However, after all, people in later generations can only look up to the great way of the ancestors. No one can match them for thousands of years.

Throughout history, only the greatest figure can have such a mind and courage.

A movie called "Laozi" is cold and profound, mysterious and mysterious. Who can read it for thousands of years?

A movie called "Nanhua" is humorous and free and content. For thousands of years, who can travel to the North Sea and flap its wings in the South?

A "Book of Changes" covers everything and is a magical magic machine. For thousands of years, not to mention the powerful people who have realized the truth from then on, even those who can understand only half of their knowledge and use it in art can be called masters.

Guiyun's lineage is passed down, and he dares to say, "My writing is the great way, and all living beings can understand it, and those who can understand it enter my mysterious gate." Are these bold words, the founder of the founding religion the likes of Lao Dan, Zhuang Zhou, Wen Wang, and Confucius?

Thinking of this, Yan Li was immediately interested in "Cloud Crane Palm", and bowed his fists and said, "For this reason, please give me advice."

Guiyun stood up cleanly, just like walking in the backyard of Bian Que Pavilion, saying as he walked: "I am not a Taoist priest, just call me Guiyun. Anyone who learns "Yun Crane Palm" can do nothing. But don't hold too much hope. People without spiritual roots can hardly achieve success in learning it. Senior Yu has been practicing "Yun Crane Palm" for more than a hundred years, and has only achieved the innate nature of martial arts."

If anyone else is here, he must be stunned by Gui Yun's standard: Please, little god, martial arts are already very powerful, right? It is almost invincible in the world!

Yu Qingyue, who was standing beside him, smiled bitterly, "Haha, why use the old Taoist as an example. The old Taoist is born with qualifications, and he will not succeed in his literature or martial arts, so he will naturally stop here. Although Yan Li has no spiritual roots, his talent and understanding are the only ones I have seen in my life, and his future achievements will inevitably be above the old Taoist."

Yan Li said: "Thank you, senior, for your good words. Yan Li is fifteen years old this year and it's too late to practice martial arts. If you want to conquer the innate world, you still have to work hard."

"That's not necessarily." Gui Yun said, "Although "Yunhe Palm" is a martial art, it is ultimately derived from Taoism and is the most important thing to understand. And you can understand all tens of thousands of medical skills in six hours. If you hadn't seen this kind of understanding with your own eyes, I would never believe it. Maybe you will enter the country quickly."

"Haha...are too much." Yan Li said humbly.

As he said that, the three of them had already arrived at the martial arts training ground in the backyard of Bian Que Pavilion.

Gui Yun didn't talk nonsense and immediately started to demonstrate "Yun Crane Palm".

This set of introductory martial arts in immortals is divided into twelve moves, so it is also called "Twelve Styles of Clouds and Cranes", which are: Cranes absorb clouds, white cranes radiate wings, lying cranes sing in the sun, black cranes play in the water, yellow cranes roll sand, green cranes chase the wind, white cranes comb their feathers, red cranes swallow fire, black cranes ripples rain, yellow cranes roam in the clouds, green cranes peck at thunder, and divine cranes capture dragons.

I saw Guiyun jumping up, taking a long breath in the sky, then spreading his arms like crane wings, soaring in the air, and then leading his neck to hiss, like crane sings...

As an immortal cultivator, Gui Yun didn't know how high his cultivation was. His young body seemed to be able to fly in the air without having to land, and he spread his arms in the air. From the starting crane jumping Yun jumped up to the first time when his twelve styles of cloud crane palms were already halfway through, and he reached the white crane comb feather that was rotating and retracting in place.

The next move of the elixir swept the fire, Guiyun rose into the air again, changing movements in the air quickly. The black crane blew the rain, and the yellow crane Qixia flashed away; then the limbs were stretched out completely, as if the bones in the body were vibrated once, making a loud "pop" sound, which was the green crane pecking at the thunder; finally, they closed their arms and feet, as if the predatory cranes were sweeping down from the air, landing on the ground, sweeping a whirlwind beside them.

Yan Li had already understood seven or eight points when he watched the palm technique along the way.

He just read all the books in Bian Que Pavilion a few days ago. Most of the patients in Bian Que Pavilion are martial arts people, so they naturally cannot avoid dealing with injuries caused by various extraordinary skills. Therefore, the thousands of books collected in the Pavilion are not only medical skills, but also various martial arts secrets, as well as general discussions, analysis and comments on martial arts of each sect from the perspective of medical skills.

Therefore, Yan Li is not only proficient in medical skills, but also understands most common martial arts in the martial arts world. Although he does not have the power of martial arts, his martial arts cultivation and knowledge have surpassed most martial artists.

The entry of immortals in this world is also a way of health preservation, which is roughly similar to the "Ascending Immortal Art" on the earth. They use soft internal martial arts to shake their internal organs and supplement with special breathing methods to achieve the goal of strengthening the body and reincarnation. However, the "spiritual energy" in this world is thousands or hundreds of times richer than that on the earth, and practitioners can actually possess supernatural powers.

The so-called "Ascending to the Immortal Art" on the earth is not a cross-legged sitting, but also emphasizes the combination of movement and stillness. The most famous example in this regard is "Tai Chi". However, no warrior on the earth can jump up, stay in the air for a few seconds, complete several movements before landing. Of course, there will be no palm techniques like "Cloud Crane Palm" that look like a fairy-like flowing palm technique.

Next, Gui Yun talked about the boxing movements, force techniques, and breathing techniques of each move of Yunhe Palm. Sure enough, there are quite similarities to boxing techniques such as "Tai Chi" and "Bao Duan Jin". Especially in the early stage of practice, the warrior does not have enough skills, so it is naturally impossible for him to jump two feet high like Gui Yun, and then stay in the air for a few seconds. Except for a few jumping movements, most of the moves must be completed on the ground, which is closer to the ascension technique on earth.

The so-called stones in other mountains can be used to attack jade, Yan Li's heart is clear and his wisdom is amazing. Gui Yun only explained it once, and he understood it completely and had to do it himself.

Yan Li stood in the field, slowly closing his eyes, and every move of Guiyun flashed through his mind. In the end, Guiyun's young figure disappeared, replaced by a fairy-like divine crane, jumping and dancing, leading Xiang Gaosong.

He danced unconsciously, jumped up, and then spread his arms in the air, and his legs were made into a golden rooster independent style, which was the white crane that spread its wings.

At this moment, he felt a coolness pass by his lungs, and his whole body and mind were cleared. However, he did not have Gui Yun's cultivation level and could not complete the subsequent moves. He could only land his toes on the ground, take a step crossing his legs, put his arms around, stretched his neck, and exerted his throat, making a cool breathing whistle.

With this clear roar, he felt a warm current of anger in his heart, which instantly penetrated the pores of his whole body. The cool air that had not yet dissipated in the previous move of the white crane's wings actually wandered through the internal organs wrapped by this warm current, making him feel indescribable.

Yunhe’s twelve moves were practiced one after another. Each move had a different qi flowing through the hundreds of meridians, relaxing the qi and blood, and pursuing the meridians. The most amazing thing was the last two moves: the green crane pecking at the thunder and the divine crane capturing the dragon.

When the Green Crane pecked in the air, the whole body used a very clever muscle contraction movement, and at the same time, it quickly inhaled a breath, as if it was sucking a thunder into the body. When Yan Li completed this move, he felt that the bones in his body were shaken once, and a comfortable and numb feeling came out.

Then the divine crane captured the dragon, and took advantage of the hanging power of the green crane pecking at the thunder, further gathered its upper body, straight down with its toes, landing with a special angle and a specific force. The moment it landed, the vibration from the ground went up along the soles of the feet, until the Baihui point above its head, vibrated the bones of the whole body again.

After Yan Li took the move, this kind of comfort still remained on her body.

After a while, he opened his eyes and faced Yu Qingyue and Gui Yun, the old and young man who were stunned, and they only heard them murmuring: "How is this possible?"

He raised his head again and saw that there was a five-color wind lamp hanging three feet above his head. The five-color light shining constantly, which was obviously a sign of detecting the flow of spiritual roots and spiritual energy.
