Chapter 910 Passing the torch from generation to generation
"Old man, you really don't need us to accompany you in?"

"Old woman, please let me retain my last bit of dignity!"

In the early morning, supported by Mei Zichuan and Grandma Taohua, Huang Yangming slowly came to Liu Xunyi's thatched cottage with a cane.

Faced with Grandma Taohua's worries and Mei Zichuan's thousands and ten thousand concerns, the pale-faced Huang Yangming pushed them away nonchalantly and insisted on entering the room alone.

The dim thatched hut was filled with a strong smell of medicine. The half-burnt candle on the table emitted a faint yellowish hue that was better than nothing. The sleepy Liu Xunyi lay quietly on the bed, his skinny cheeks flickering in the weak candlelight, like a piece of wax.

"I really don't know whether you are lucky or unlucky." Huang Yangming walked slowly to the bedside while muttering to himself. "You are lucky, but you have a bad fate and suffer many times. You are unlucky, but you can always escape when your life is at stake. Thinking back carefully, it seems that we only met once in the Xianwang Mansion. We met by chance and didn't have much friendship with each other. After Luo Tianjin's death, you were fighting and playing in the Central Plains, and I was living in Changbai Mountain. We didn't interfere with each other at all, and it was impossible for us to have any relationship in this life. But God likes to play tricks on people, because of a Huaying... let you, who was half dead, meet me, who was on the verge of death, and brought us two people who were incompatible together. Boy, do you think that we can be considered as 'meeting by fate'?"

After saying this, Huang Yangming laughed at himself, picked up the teapot beside the bed, and gulped down a few mouthfuls of the tea. His dazed mind gradually became more sober under the stimulation of the cold water.

Pan Yuyin prepared this pot of water for Liu Xunyi in case he woke up in the middle of the night thirsty. However, Huang Yangming, who was feeling depressed, drank it all up with water instead of wine.

"Hua Ying has been very kind to you... no! It should be Pan Yuyin. In order to prevent her from being wronged by you in the future, she even begged me to accept you as her apprentice, even though she almost never asks for help from others. Little did you know that the last time she asked for help was... more than 20 years ago." Huang Yangming recalled the past while expressing his feelings, "You have brought disaster to the tiger's den and dragon's pool, disturbing our peaceful life, but old man... My husband will not kill you, but will teach you his skills to save you... Is there anyone in the world as kind-hearted as me who repays evil with kindness? Haha... Actually, I am not a kind person. I saved you not out of kindness or Huaying's pleading, but out of my own will. The old woman and I are old, and even if today's incident hadn't happened, I'm afraid we wouldn't have much time left... I accept you as my disciple because I hope that after a hundred years, Baoer will have a 'relative' to take care of him in the world, so that he won't be lonely and helpless."

Having said this, Huang Yangming suddenly felt that time flies and years are ruthless. He couldn't help feeling sad. His expression became more depressed and his tone became more sad.

"As the saying goes, 'When people get old, their muscles and bones are no longer their strength', and Huaying also said, 'When water is full, it overflows; when the moon is full, it wanes'. Sometimes... you really can't help but accept that you are old." Huang Yangming's words were sad, but his tone was particularly humorous. "Young man, you are in your prime years. No matter what difficulties you encounter, you have the opportunity to start over. I am nearly eighty years old and there is no way out... Alas! I heard that you have good talent and qualifications. The old woman and Huaying are also quite positive about your character. Therefore, you are barely qualified to be my last disciple. Baoer has a bad fate and cannot inherit my mantle. Now by chance... or 'forced by the situation', I can only give you the chance. I don't expect you to punish evil and promote good, help the country and save the world, I just hope that in the future you will not rely on the ability I gave you to do evil and harm the people."

These heartfelt words, seemingly a warning to Liu Xunyi, are actually a lament for his own old age. Between the lines, there is too much bitterness and helplessness, and even... a hint of regret for the loss of youth and envy for the good years.

Huang Yangming spoke out the depression that was suppressed deep in his heart, and two lines of tears could not be restrained and slowly flowed down his cheeks. At the same time, Liu Xunyi, who was lying on the bed, couldn't help but shed a tear from the corner of his eye.

“Forget it!” Huang Yangming waved his hand and burst into laughter. “My skills…are useless now, and it would be a pity to throw them away. It’s a rare fate for you and me to meet. From today on…we are one life.”

After saying this, the sadness and bitterness in Huang Yangming's eyes gradually disappeared, replaced by an indescribable solemnity and depth.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, Huang Yangming threw the crutch aside, put his hands under Liu Xunyi's body, his eyes focused, and the strength of his arms increased suddenly. He suddenly raised them upwards, and Liu Xunyi's body instantly soared into the sky, flying about ten feet high and almost hitting the roof.

Taking this opportunity, Huang Yangming groaned, leaped onto the bed, and sat cross-legged. Before Liu Xunyi fell, he raised his hands above his head and struck with his palms, and a thick and vigorous white cyclone slowly condensed out.

At this moment, Huang Yangming's muscles were swelling at a speed visible to the naked eye, his face was turning pale and red, beads of sweat were oozing out, his facial features were distorted and hideous, and he seemed to be enduring great pain.

"call!"

When Liu Xunyi's body began to fall rapidly, Huang Yangming's eyes widened and he let out a loud shout. At the same time, he raised his palms to the sky. A fist-sized white cyclone suddenly rose up, quickly broke through Liu Xunyi's back, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

"Forehead……"

Liu Xunyi felt an incomparable burning sensation in his body while half-conscious. The blood in his body seemed to be boiling and boiling. His meridians, bones, and internal organs were almost burned out by a rapidly expanding blazing flame, waking him up from his sleep. At the same time, he let out a low wail. "Turn over!"

With Huang Yangming's roar, Liu Xunyi's body began to flip uncontrollably in the air. In the blink of an eye, he was in a weird position with his head upside down.

"Senior Huang...Senior Huang..." Liu Xunyi, who gradually understood the situation, was horrified, "This is..."

"Boy, open the Ren and Du meridians, release all the acupuncture points, and don't block the infusion of true energy. Otherwise, your body will not be able to withstand the confrontation between the two internal forces. At the very least, your meridians will be broken, and at the worst, you will die. Don't blame me for not reminding you when the time comes."

While speaking, the top of Liu Xunyi's head was already pressed tightly against the top of Huang Yangming's head. An endless, faint white energy was surging wildly from the two people's crown chakras.

Due to the vast internal strength and the overflow of energetic energy, Huang Yangming and Liu Xunyi's robes, hair, even the bedding on the bed, and the tables and chairs around them all flew into the air in the direction of the flow of true energy, and floated strangely in the air. The scene was very chaotic.

“Senior, are you…teaching me your skills?” Liu Xunyi felt an endless stream of pure internal energy pouring into his body, passing through his eight extraordinary meridians like lightning, and pouring into his Dantian like a river flowing into the sea. He was completely confused, and gradually realized what was happening. He was immediately terrified, “I absolutely cannot do this! Senior, I absolutely cannot do this…”

"Don't move!"

Seeing Liu Xunyi trying to struggle, Huang Yangming waved his hands and held down his head firmly. At the same time, his palms became hot, and he gathered his energy and poured endless internal force into Liu Xunyi's temples.

For a moment, three major acupoints were under stress at the same time. Liu Xunyi felt his meridians were sore, swollen and hot. Unable to withstand such a crazy transmission of power, he was on the verge of collapse.

Now it was not a question of whether Liu Xunyi was willing to bear it, but whether he could bear it. In the face of the turbulent and powerful internal force, he, who was seriously injured and not yet healed, had no choice but to grit his teeth and endure it silently.

"Senior Huang, I..."

"Boy, I'm not only saving your life, I'm also saving our family's life!" Huang Yangming said in a deep voice, "You can't let your mind wander now. You must concentrate and circulate the Qi I passed on to you through your body for three cycles, and introduce it into your Dantian in an orderly manner. You must not be distracted during this time, and you must not make any mistakes, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."

"How can I be so worthy as to accept such a great favor..."

"We can talk about the favor you owe me later. Don't ask me any more questions now." Seeing Liu Xunyi's hesitation, Huang Yangming, who was extremely anxious, became furious and scolded him loudly, "If you don't want us to go crazy and die suddenly, you should concentrate on remembering every word I say next."

"This... is it." Knowing that he must not be distracted at the critical moment of power transmission, Liu Xunyi did not dare to argue anymore. He agreed, quickly gathered his thoughts, and endured the strange feeling of hot and cold, absorbing the internal power passed to him by Huang Yangming bit by bit into his dantian.

"Thus I have heard, Qian and Kun are in the middle. From light to darkness, it is in the void. Born from the heart, the five aggregates are all bright. Nine yin and nine yang, there is no end to confusion. The spirit gathers at the head, and the energy gathers at the feet. East and west are formed by images, and north and south form views. There is nothing to be frightened of inside, and nothing to be afraid of outside. The body and mind know each other, and the body is not confused..."

Huang Yangming's words were full of pearls, but Liu Xunyi's words were shocking. As a first-class master, he could guess what Huang Yangming was talking about without asking. Recalling his own complicated situation, he was inevitably more shocked, more terrified, more sad, and more moved...

"Boy, help others to the end, and send Buddha to the west. Since this old man has decided to accept you as his disciple and pass on his inner strength to you, I will simply teach you all my life's unique skills." While Liu Xunyi was reciting carefully with mixed feelings, Huang Yangming's old voice sounded quietly, "What this old man just said is the secret formula of the 'Qian Kun Jiu Ji Gong'. You must remember it in your heart and comprehend it seriously. Without this secret formula, you may not be able to control the strong inner strength I will teach you within ten years. With this secret formula, you will be able to make rapid progress and achieve success naturally. When your body is healed, your divine power will be perfected. By then, you will surely be superior to the masters of various sects and invincible among the heroes of the martial arts world."
