Chapter 44: The Poison of Immortality

War, especially war with cold weapons, can create the glory of Kung Fu.

Of course, the current Zhao Yu's abilities can no longer be described by the word kung fu. The magic is also inappropriate, or it can be called a magical power.

Heaven and earth are one universe, and the human body is one universe. Zhao Yu started practicing kung fu, polishing his body until he opened acupuncture points. His instinct gave birth to some mysterious abilities. Now, more than 20 years have passed by and he has opened up 108 acupoints.

In the first five years, the five internal organs, the five elements, and the five major acupoints are opened, and magical powers arise from them. Subsequently, various acupuncture points were based on the Five Elements acupoints, and based on the principle of the five elements' generation and restraint, they gradually formed an extremely strict system.

After thirty-six acupoints were opened, the physical body encountered a bottleneck, the Qi and blood could not progress, and due to fatigue, it was impossible to open any more acupoints.

The preliminary system of thirty-six acupoints isolates the inside and outside, allowing Zhao Yu to be in a bystander's perspective at all times. It was as if he was no longer a member of this world and felt excluded from the world.

By this time, Zhao Yu knew that some changes had to be made.

This is the second five years.

It was the time when the Ming Dynasty was cultivating health and recuperating, and the warriors had no place to use their skills. At that time, Zhao Yu fulfilled his filial piety at the knees of his master in Qingyun Mountain. Encountering a bottleneck, Zhao Yu thought about it and couldn't come to a conclusion, so he discussed it with his master.

Although Taoist Qingyun's personal cultivation is far inferior to Zhao Yu's, his state of mind and understanding of Taoist scriptures far exceed those of Zhao Yu. So he gave Zhao Yu a suggestion.

Some Taoist scriptures link acupuncture points on the human body with the stars in the sky. This was the advice Taoist Qingyun gave Zhao Yu.

It was like a door was opened, and Zhao Yu suddenly realized.

In the following ten years or so, whether in the process of conquering the world or after disarming and returning home, Zhao Yu worked hard in this direction.

Open the acupoints, connect with the stars, and you will find the essence of the sun and moon, and the inspiration of heaven and earth!

The acupoints are originally opened for Qi and blood. After the opening of the Five Elements acupoints, some mysterious abilities have been developed, which are called supernatural powers. But after being conceived, there is no room for progress. Until the acupoint was opened and connected to the stars, a trace of the star's spirituality was taken away, and a 'god' was born in the acupoint!

Huang Ting Jing says: the heart god Dan Yuan is the character for guarding the spirit, the lung god Haohua is the character for the empty form, the liver god is the dragon smoke for the platform is bright, the gloomy guide smoke is the main character for the turbid and clear, the kidney god Xuanming is the character for nurturing the baby, and the spleen spirit is always at the character soul. The six internal organs, the five internal organs, the spirit and the body essence all carry the heavenly scriptures in the heart, and they are stored day and night for self-immortality.

This god is not that god, but a spiritual spirit that is manifested through the organs of the physical body through the use of mysterious acupuncture points and the inspiration of heaven and earth!

The mystery here lies in one mind and cannot be expressed in words.

The God of the Five Elements was conceived from the five internal organs, acupoints and apertures, and then the God of Courage. Huang Ting Jing says: The gallbladder dragon Yao is named Wei Ming. This god does not have the five elements, but his duties include courage and fighting spirit!

Opening acupuncture points is extremely dangerous. If there is not enough Qi and blood, opening the acupoints will fail. Under the backlash, the Qi and blood will be exhausted and corrupted, and you will die.

Compared with opening acupuncture points to connect to the stars in the sky and earth, it is even more dangerous.

An external demon.

This demon is not that demon, it is not a certain demon god, demon king, or demon, but the evil spirit and filth that exists in the heaven and earth! Call it a devil. By opening up acupoints and connecting heaven and earth, external demons can successfully invade the acupoints in the body.

This is a test.

If the will is unstable and the mind is not of its own accord, it will not be able to suppress it when invaded by external demons, and the Qi and blood will be dirty, causing the acupuncture points to collapse, which is also a word of death!

Secondly, if the spirit of heaven and earth is poured into the body, if the qi and blood are not sufficient and the acupoints are not stable enough, there is also the risk of collapse.

Every time you open an acupuncture point, you have to walk between life and death. How many ordinary people can endure such an experience?

A person's acupoints are like stars in the sky. Although Zhao Yu has now opened up 108 acupoints, compared to his whole body, it is only a drop in the ocean.

These one hundred and eight acupoints alone already made Zhao Yu exhausted. So far, only thirty-three acupuncture points have been opened, allowing them to give birth to gods.

There are still seventy-five acupoints that are still being polished.

One can imagine the difficulties involved.

Sometimes Zhao Yu feels frustrated. One is frustrated that the future is bleak. Although as the realm becomes more profound, the Qi and blood become more powerful, and the body becomes more extraordinary, almost like a legendary immortal, the lifespan is greatly increased. Now in his forties, his appearance is not much different from that of more than twenty years ago.

But compared with the hardships ahead, this longevity is far from enough.

It took him more than 20 years to open up 108 acupoints and give birth to 33 gods. But how difficult is it to perfect the acupuncture points of the human body?

Especially later on, it becomes more difficult to open the acupoints. Although because of the connection between heaven and earth, the bottleneck of the physical body is broken again, so that Qi and blood can continue to grow, and acupoints can be opened.

But it is more difficult to open the acupoints to give birth to the true god. With only thirty-three true gods, he already felt that he could no longer suppress them. Although the true God is the God of the human body, he has his own agility and must be directed by the human soul. If the soul is not strong enough, the true god will be in chaos. Once the true god is confused, it is only a trivial matter to have distorted mouth and eyes, and it is not a big deal to be paralyzed. However, it is a life-threatening danger if he becomes obsessed and his energy and blood run wild!

Because the soul cannot be suppressed, all the true gods are not unified. You play with yours, and I play with mine. The left hand wants to scratch the head, but the right hand wants to pick the crotch. The head wants to be on the ground, but the legs want to be on top.

The entire human body system will be in chaos.

The difficulty and danger of giving birth to a true god can be imagined from this.

Thirdly, Zhao Yu was also worried about a person with no successors.

This road is too difficult. He is so talented that even now he feels that it is beyond his capabilities, let alone others? Even for his own children, Zhao Yu doesn't have any hope.

His son Zhao Hong was unwilling to inherit his skills and wanted to follow a heretic path. Although Zhao Yu was angry, in fact, he felt a little more relaxed. If Zhao Hong also embarks on this path, Zhao Yu cannot help but worry about the difficulties in the future.

He has only one son but six daughters.

Among them are two daughters who are extremely interested in martial arts training. Zhao Yu also did not hesitate to teach. But he does not pin all his inheritance on his daughter. For them, this was a pressure that even Zhao Yu could not bear, and they should not bear it.

Returning to the quiet room in the backyard, Zhao Yu sat quietly for a long time and couldn't help but laugh at himself.

"It's pity that I have opened up a path that no one has ever done before, but no one has ever done it since."

He sighed again and again.

It is conceivable that with the development of heretics and the extremely difficult cultivation, his abilities are destined to be buried in the long river of time.

Just like many profound Dharma methods in ancient times, even the legends have disappeared after thousands of years.

"Come on," Zhao Yu sighed, "I am walking alone, everyone is drunk and I am alone..."

...

The development of Ming Dynasty is changing with each passing day.

Although due to the advancement of outsider science and technology, people no longer attach importance to martial arts and developing their own potential. But the set of techniques that Zhao Yu compiled was not in vain.

The main thing is that Zhao Yu, a typical example, is clearly placed in front of everyone.

Everyone knows how powerful Zhao Yu is.

Naturally, no one will ignore the method he compiled.

If Zhao Yu is no longer around, perhaps this method will be lost. But Zhao Yu is still there, and his influence, both in terms of reputation and status, will promote the popularity of this method.

Students regard it as regular gymnastics, and people will practice it in their spare time.

More than a hundred years have passed like this.

Emperor Tianyuan had been in charge of the empire for sixty years and collapsed, which was already fifty or sixty years ago. Today's emperor, the eldest son of Emperor Tianyuan, has reached his twilight years.

More than a hundred years, more than a century. Relatives, friends, and confidants, watching them disappear before our eyes. Wife, concubines, children, Zhao Yu has never appeared in front of others since the death of his son Zhao Hong.

The sadness in this is really not something outsiders can understand.

Zhao Yu is already one hundred and fifty years old.

As a key figure in the Ming Dynasty's resurgence, as long as he is still there, the Zhao family will be the top noble family in the Ming Dynasty. One hundred and fifty years later, Zhongxing's second generation of emperors were all old and decrepit, and the Zhao family had become a behemoth.

Zhao Yu only had one son, but his son Zhao Hong had many children and grandchildren. Together with the in-law families brought up by the six daughters, they formed a huge network of interests. In the entire Ming Empire, they are the top group.

But these are not what Zhao Yu cares about.

Just as he guessed, after so many years, the master has already become an immortal. Every ten years, Zhao Yu would travel around, but never met anyone who was qualified to inherit his legacy.

Now, the 150-year-old Zhao Yu can no longer wait.

It’s not that when Shou Yuan arrived, he opened 365 acupuncture points and gave birth to 108 gods. His energy and blood burst out, and he could turn into a rainbow-like substance, soaring thirty feet into the sky, and his magical power spanned the world. Even the atomic bomb that has been born is not taken seriously. He is almost like a god, and his lifespan has reached three hundred years.

But now, Zhao Yu can no longer go any further.

In the past, it was difficult to make progress because the soul was weak. Zhao Yu searched hundreds of classics to explore the secrets of the ancient Qi practitioners, and found out a few real visualization methods. Visualizing and concentrating on the spirit made the soul stronger and stronger, so that he could continue to progress.

Now, the bottleneck has reappeared. Visualization is useless. The growth of the soul is stagnant and there is no way forward. The one hundred and eight acupoint gods are already the limit. If any more acupoints are opened and any god is born, the soul will not be able to suppress it.

"It's time to leave..."

In the quiet room, Zhao Yu slowly stood up.

Her hair is spread around her waist and is thick and black. His face was like a baby's, with a deep blush. His eyes were like the universe, dotted with stars. He is tall and has no signs of shrinkage. There is absolutely no trace of the appearance of a 150-year-old man.

Wearing a gray robe, he was extremely simple.

Gently patting the hem of his clothes, Zhao Yu looked calm and relaxed, walking as if he were stepping on clouds. When I walked out of the quiet room, there was someone waiting outside.

Seeing this old ancestor come out of the quiet room, the people waiting outside were surprised and showed enthusiastic admiration.

This ancestor is a legend among legends!

Zhao Yu waved his hand: "Who is at home today?"

"It's the eldest son." The attendant said respectfully.

"Oh." Zhao Yu nodded: "Call him here, I will wait for him in the hall."

"Yes, ancestor."

Zhao Yu took a leisurely stroll and arrived at the hall.
