Chapter 142: Go to Misty Mountains and Rivers
It is said in Zhuangzi's Happy Journey: "Liezi rode the wind and walked, with a cool and good mind. He returned after ten days... He rode on the righteousness of heaven and earth, and controlled the differences of the six qi, so as to travel in the infinite..."
Riding the wind is considered a divine act in the eyes of the world.
When a person who practices Taoism reaches the state of perfection in the Great Circulation, he can control the wind both inside and out.
Fang Muye's consciousness merged into the space between heaven and earth, and before long, he could sense the breath of the wind, which was refreshing and agile, like a bird cheering and leaping for joy.
As he thought of it, the true energy in his Dantian meridians immediately penetrated his body and swirled around his body. He used the energy to control the wind, and the wind followed the energy, and the energy helped the wind.
The breeze starts from slow to fast, then becomes a howling strong wind, and then starts from fast to slow again.
Fang Muye's body seemed to become lighter and turned into a feather. The wind slowly lifted him up and suspended him in the air.
After a moment, Fang Muye's intuition told him that he had gained further control over the wind, as if he were using one's arm to control it. He then withdrew his consciousness, opened his eyes, stood up in the air, and began to try to fly slowly in the air.
At this moment he did not dare to speak, for fear of losing his energy and causing mistakes.
The longer he flew, the more skilled he became in controlling the wind.
Fang Muye flew higher and higher, faster and faster, as if an eagle broke free from its restraints and soared into the sky, or like a roc soaring into the sky.
The wind whistled in his ears, the mountains and forests retreated in front of him, and white clouds floated across the sky. At this moment, Fang Muye seemed to have merged with the wind, soaring freely in the sky.
In his excitement, he didn't know how far he had flown. Fang Muye realized that the internal energy in his body was almost consumed by half. With a thought, he flew half a circle in the air nimbly like a bird, turned back, and flew back along the same route.
On the other side, Duan Yu remained motionless, looking up at the direction where Fang Muye was flying in the sky, his heart unable to calm down for a long time.
When he finally saw Fang Muye flying out from behind the mountain, Duan Yu was immediately as excited as a child. He jumped and waved his hands, shouting loudly: "Master! Master!"
"Master, you can fly now!"
Fang Muye landed on the ground, exhaled slowly, smiled, and said: "Master's realm has broken through to the Great Circulation Perfection, and from now on he will be able to fly with the wind."
Duan Yu said happily: "Congratulations, Master. This is truly a cause for celebration and should be made public. Unfortunately, there is no wine here and Uncle Xiao and Junior Brother Xiao are not here either."
Fang Muye nodded and smiled. It was indeed worth drinking and celebrating at this moment.
When one reaches the state of perfection of the Great Circulation, both inside and out, one’s practice enters another world, the wonder of which is truly indescribable.
The problem that had been bothering Fang Muye and preventing him from practicing the "Northern Sea Divine Art" was also solved.
The internal force route of "Northern Divine Art" is contrary to the internal force of various schools and sects. Fang Muye has profound skills, and the internal energy in his meridians circulates automatically all the time. If he wants to practice "Northern Divine Art", the two skills will inevitably conflict with each other. At the very least, he will vomit blood and get injured, and at the worst, all his meridians will be disabled. It is really dangerous.
And now Fang Muye has reached the state of perfection of the Great Circulation, completely inside and out.
To be thorough not only means to feel one's own little world, but also represents the improvement of one's control over oneself.
Fang Muye can now completely stop the circulation of the true qi in the meridians, allowing it to stay in the Dantian Qi Sea, and then practice and perform the "Northern Sea Divine Art". He can even guide the true qi in his body to circulate directly along the internal strength route of the "Northern Sea Divine Art".
Moreover, after mastering the "Northern Sea Divine Art", every acupuncture point in the body can draw internal energy. Fang Muye felt his own small world and saw 365 major acupuncture points around his body. From then on, true energy could also be stored in them.
The state of perfection of the Great Circulation is to "refine the heaven and earth", absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and transport the Circulation through the acupoints. Fang Muye uses the "Northern Divine Art" at his current state, which can not only take the internal strength of others for his own use, but also absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into the acupoints. Although the effect is far from that of "The Great Return to the True" , it is also remarkable.
Along the way, Fang Muye was thinking about how to combine the two techniques, so as to take advantage of the power of absorbing water from the North Sea and seize the fortune of heaven and earth.
As for Fang Muye and Duan Yu's trip to the Western Regions, they were heading to Piaomiao Peak of Tianshan Mountain.
Before his death, Wuyazi asked Duan Yu to find Li Qiushui to learn Xiaoyao Sect martial arts. However, Fang Muye thought that instead of asking Duan Yu to find Li Qiushui, it would be better for him to find Tianshan Tonglao.
Piaomiao Peak is located in the southern part of the Tianshan Mountains, to the west of the Western Xia Kingdom, and it was under the jurisdiction of the Gaochang Uighur Kingdom.
The Gaochang Uighur Kingdom paid tribute to both the Khitan and the Song Dynasty, and had a lot of trade with the two countries, so there were many Han people who traveled there for business all year round. Therefore, although Fang Muye and Duan Yu did not understand the Uighur language, they were able to ask these Han people about the approximate location of Piao Miao Peak.
The two followed the direction for several days and finally saw a mountain covered in clouds and fog in the northwest corner. From a distance, it seemed to be there and not there, which was exactly what it was called "Piao Miao Peak".
As the saying goes, "A horse will die if it runs high up the mountain."
Fang Muye and Duan Yu walked at a normal speed, and when they arrived at the foot of Piaomiao Peak, it was already noon of the second day.
As soon as they reached the intersection leading to the upper peak, dozens of women rushed out, all wearing yellow clothes, ranging in age from seventeen or eighteen to over thirty years old. Each of them held a long sword and blocked the road.
Those guarding the road to the top of Piaomiao Peak are from the Juntian Division, one of the Nine Divisions of the Nine Heavens of Lingjiu Palace. The deputy leader is called Cheng Qingshuang, a girl in her twenties with a pretty face but a murderous look between her eyebrows.
Most of the women in Lingjiu Palace have suffered great harm from men. Some were abandoned by men, while others were destroyed by their enemies. Under the influence of the Tianshan Child-Grandma's vicious and cruel temper, they have always regarded men as poisonous snakes and fierce beasts.
Seeing Fang Muye and Duan Yu, Cheng Qingshuang glared at them and shouted, "Where did you come from, you stinky men? How dare you come to our Piao Miao Peak? Get out of here immediately, or I will kill you!"
The women were seen holding their sword hilts with solemn expressions, and it was obvious that if Fang Muye and Duan Yu refused to leave, they would rush forward and kill them.
Duan Yu bowed and said politely, "I am Duan Yu, a disciple of Xiaoyao Sect, and I would like to see Master Tong Lao. Please let this sister pass on the message."
Cheng Qingshuang was stunned for a moment, then her expression eased a little, and she said, "You guys wait here." Then she instructed the female subordinate beside her, "Hurry up and send a message to the palace."
The Juntian tribe member took out a whistle, put it to his mouth and blew it. There was a sharp and loud "chirp" sound, which pierced through heaven and earth.
Not long after, a black eagle flew in from the sky and swooped down. When it got close, it suddenly slowed down and landed on her arm that was wearing a leather glove.
She took the letter handed to her by the person next to her and put it into the mailbox tied to the black eagle's foot. Then she raised her hand, and the black eagle soared into the sky and flew rapidly to the top of the mountain.
