I am Dugufeng in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter [-] Master

Dugufeng stared at the waterfall and flowing spring in the distance, and introduced with a smile: "This is the valley where your master lived in seclusion? I won't say the original name of this valley, but now it is called 'Shennong Valley'."

"Shen Nong Valley?" Xu Ziling looked at the green and mysterious valley in front of him, he couldn't help being a little surprised when he heard the name, and asked curiously, "Why is it called this name? Is there any allusion?"

Dugufeng walked forward with her hands behind her back, and said nonchalantly: "Oh, it's nothing, it's just that your master likes to imitate the sage Shennong, tasted all kinds of herbs, and planted many medicinal materials in the valley." Of course this is not the real reason, the real reason The reason is that this valley was originally called Dragon’s Saliva Valley. It is said that there used to be a dragon lurking in the Yuelongtan in the valley. It drips on the flowers and plants in the valley, so the quality of the herbs in the valley is exceptionally high.When Dugufeng was living here, she accidentally heard this allusion. She missed her previous life and thought of playing a joke on her. She named the mountain Longkong Mountain, and Dragon Saliva Valley was also renamed Shennong Valley.But these real reasons, of course, cannot be said.

Fortunately, Xu Ziling didn't care about it. After asking, he stopped paying attention, but looked around, admiring the rare scenery.

The valley is quiet, and the two walked along the path between ancient pines and green cypresses.Xu Ziling looked up, but he saw sesame grass everywhere, fragrant and fragrant, forest waves bursting, birds singing and mountains secluded.While walking in the quiet pine forest, the two startled the birds flying away.

While walking, I suddenly saw a curl of light smoke rising from the depths of the forest.Dugufeng smiled slightly and said, "Here we are, it's here."

In the forest that came out, the sky and the earth suddenly widened.This valley is surrounded by mountains on three sides. The mountains are steep and straight, hundreds of feet high. Looking up, they look like pillars of heaven. On the cliffs in the middle of the mountain, you can see pine branches hanging obliquely and vines all over. The scenery is beautiful, just like a fairyland.A waterfall of several tens of feet flows straight down from the cliff opposite the pine forest, the path is like a deep pool at the bottom of the cliff, and the sound of rumbling is endless.The deep pool is tens of acres wide, and the water color is deep and unfathomable.It is the legendary Yuelong Tan.

Beside the rocks in the deep pool, several bamboo huts and thatched pavilions were built, each scattered according to the terrain, clean and elegant, full of humanistic atmosphere, and perfectly integrated with nature.The valley has an elegant environment and lush vegetation. Xu Ziling learned some basic medicinal herb knowledge from Sun Simiao, the king of medicine, and naturally recognized that these plants and trees are all plants that can be used as medicine, but there are not many rare medicinal herbs. Xu Ziling looked a little strange about the plants that are used for both food and medicine.

Sensing Xu Ziling's attention to those medicinal materials, Dugufeng smiled and said: "There are thousands of methods of Taoist cultivation. Although Lou Guan Tao is known as the Taoist ancestor, but the practice of alchemy is still inclusive, and we are all familiar with talismans and alchemy tripods. The pulse is the art of taking food and practicing Qi. Except for some of the medicinal materials you see, most of them are ingredients."

While the two were talking, suddenly a tempting fragrance of food came.Smelling this tempting thought, even Xu Ziling, who has always been ascetic, felt his appetite whet.

Dugufeng couldn't help laughing and said: "Coincidental. It's because you are lucky, Xiaoling, just in time to catch up with the master to cook. It's almost not to be missed!"

As soon as Dugu Feng finished speaking, he saw an old man coming out of a kitchen that was smoking.When he came out, he was holding a plate in his hand, which contained a delicacy, and the tempting aroma was emitted from the plate.As soon as he saw Dugufeng, he quickly protected the plate with his hands, as if he was afraid of being snatched.

Dugufeng couldn't help laughing and said: "Master, I won't compete with your old man for food, why are you so nervous?"

Only then did Zhang Guo remember that Dugu Feng had lost his temper after slaying the red dragon, and he no longer competed with him for food, so he couldn't help saying embarrassingly: "It turned out to be Xiaofeng! Er, the master didn't see clearly just now."

Seeing the appearance of the master as an old child protecting the food, Dugufeng couldn't help laughing secretly. She was quite greedy when she first became a teacher. Every time she ate a meal, she would fight endlessly with the master. It has left a psychological shadow, and every time I see her, the first thing I do must be to subconsciously protect the food.

Dugufeng smiled and said: "Master, I'm here to visit you, why do you feel that your old man is not happy to see me?"

Zhang Guoqian said with a dry smile: "Happy, happy, Xiao Fenger came to see the master, how can the master be unhappy?" He glanced at Xu Ziling again, and said: "So Fenger is still bringing guests! Don't just stand there, everyone. Sit in the living room!"

Xu Ziling followed Zhang Guo Dugufeng to a hall built of pine wood. The hall is elegant and simple. The pine wood used as the building material is not carved, and the natural wood texture on the wall can be seen clearly.Above the main entrance of the hall, there is a plaque with the words "Cuiweiju" written on it. The handwriting is clear and elegant, like green mountains and waterfalls, white clouds and dogs, and it has an indescribably chic and natural taste.

Zhang Guo put the dinner plate on the table that exudes the fragrance of pine wood, stroked his beard, and greeted warmly: "Sit, everyone."

Dugufeng pointed at Xu Ziling and said: "Master, I haven't told you yet! This is my new apprentice, named Xu Ziling. You keep looking, can you see it?"

Xu Ziling hurriedly bowed down and said: "Disciple Xu Ziling, pay homage to Master."

Zhang Guo couldn't help being a little surprised and said: "Xiao Feng'er, you actually accepted an apprentice?" As he spoke, he turned his gaze to his new apprentice, he was indifferent at first, but after two glances, he couldn't help but see the light in his eyes In a blink of an eye, he said with great joy: "Naturally born?"

Xu Ziling felt a blur in front of his eyes, the master who was standing across the table suddenly appeared in front of him, stretched out his hand like lightning, and touched him up and down at a speed that he couldn't react to.

His whole body was touched, but Xu Ziling himself didn't feel anything, but Dugufeng beside him was in a cold sweat, and couldn't help stretching his hand to the hilt of his sword, thinking: When did this old man become so wretched? If he dares to do this If you touch me like this, even if it is a master, you can still cut me.After a pause, seeing that Zhang Guo was just studying around Xu Ziling, he thought to himself: This old man, is it glass!Poor Xiaoling, Master is sorry for letting you lose your virginity...

Zhang Guo firmly grasped Xu Ziling's hand, his eyes sparkled, and he said with great joy: "Sure enough, the bones are clear and strange, and they are deeply rooted in the heart and wisdom of the Tao. It's really my way. My little friend is willing to worship me as a teacher. There are 36 alchemy methods and 72 secret techniques that can be taught to you..."

"Ahem!" Seeing the master acting like a child who got his favorite candy, Dugufeng couldn't help but to laugh and cry, and reminded dissatisfiedly: "Master—fu, he is my disciple."

It was only then that Zhang Guo realized that he was too happy for a moment, and even forgot that the Liang in front of him was his disciple and grandson. He couldn't help but said with embarrassment and joy: "Well, Feng'er! You are a good apprentice!"

Dugufeng resisted the desire to step forward and pull his beard, and gave him a blank look.As the saying goes, old children, old children, it is true, the more you get along with this master, the more you find that he is just an old child, cynical, willful, delicious and fun, not at all like a master of the world.It's also rare that Xu Ziling has a lot of self-cultivation at such a young age, and he didn't show any surprise when he saw Zhang Guo's ecstasy.

"Huh!" Zhang Guo, who detected the reaction of the true qi in Xu Ziling's body, couldn't help being surprised: "It's so pure and pure Yang true qi! Looking at its temperament, it is full of vitality, and its qi veins are even longer than our moral true qi. It is obviously a The best qigong in the school, Feng Er, where did you find this qigong?"

Seeing that the master who has always been well-informed can't guess the kung fu practiced by Xu Ziling, Dugufeng couldn't help feeling a little proud, and said with a smile: "Master, you have always boasted that you have extensive knowledge and knowledge, and you have all the classics of Taoism in your chest, you may as well make a guess! "

Zhang Guo raised his beard, rolled his eyes, and said, "Ghost girl, I want to see my master make a fool of myself again. Hmph, my master won't let you do what you want." Then, she showed a kind smile to Xu Ziling and said, "Eh, good disciple. Let Shizu see your Qi Xinggong method!"

Xu Ziling watched the master and master joking and fighting each other as soon as they met. They had fun and had no barriers. They were not like masters and apprentices, but like grandparents and grandchildren. Xu Ziling was also deeply affected by the warm and natural feeling. Ren Shizu explored the qi circulation route of the formula.

Dugufeng crossed her arms and watched Zhang Guo explore all the time.It is said that the formula of longevity has not been practiced by anyone for thousands of years since it was widely used as a child. Dugu Feng didn't believe that the master could guess it!

Zhang Guochu was full of self-confidence at the time. He was a disciple of Li Xuanyang, the number one Taoist master Tieguaixian a hundred years ago, and he was also a Dharma preacher of the Lou Guan lineage. Dozens of very familiar.In today's world, although there are many branches of Taoism, their origins are no more than the three schools of Louguan, Shangqing, and Tianshi. It is thought that Dugufeng's disciple will not go beyond the stereotype of these three schools.But as the investigation time got longer, Zhang Guo's brows slowly frowned.

The formula of longevity originated from the Taoist sage Guang Chengzi. Although he is also an authentic Taoist, Guang Chengzi has been around for thousands of years. For thousands of years, martial arts have been practiced and changed. Today's Taoist martial arts are quite different from those of thousands of years ago. Changes, therefore, in Zhang Guo's view, although Xu Ziling's zhenqi is simple and pure, with the most authentic Taoist characteristics, but the way of qi movement is very different from today's Taoist exercises, and he can't be sure to pay attention to it for a while.

In the blink of an eye, it was time for a cup of tea, Zhang Guo was still frowning, and Dugufeng couldn't help laughing and said, "How is it? Master, did you guess it? Master, you are so knowledgeable, you will be able to guess it!"

Zhang Guo couldn't help but glared at Dugu Feng, puffed up her cheeks and said, "Young girl Feng underestimated Master. Hmph, although I've never seen this kind of practice method, I can guess it. This set of practice method The method is based on the eight extraordinary meridians, supplemented by the twelve orthodox meridians. Qi is in Yongquan and returns to Yongquan. Getting started is the innate state of sympathy with spirit and energy. The Taiqing Dongxuan Zhenqi of Tianshi Dao is somewhat similar. In terms of its temperament, it is more similar to the Baopu Zhenqi of the Shangqing School, and Ge Hong’s Baopu Zhenqi is the result of his comprehension of the Taoist treasure book " "Longevity Jue". If my guess is correct, this never-before-seen Taoist mentality should come from the Longevity Jue."

As soon as Zhang Guo said this, Dugu Feng was surprised. Unexpectedly, this master, who usually seemed a bit confused, would guess it all at once. She couldn't help but re-evaluate Zhang Guo up and down again, and began to doubt this. Is this her master who usually only cares about eating and drinking in a daze?
