Chapter 21 A Tour of the Ancestral Temple

Wang Ming climbed out of the pool, came ashore, and changed into the dry clothes he had brought earlier.

This trip to the ancient tomb was a waste. I thought there would be the first volume of "Nine Yin Scriptures" here, but it turned out that most of the things inside were the second volume, which is basically useless.

"Hey! The other protagonists all come here to get experience packs. This is really nonsense. Not to mention whether a modern person can understand it, there is no general outline or content about internal skills training here. It is indeed possible to become a master, but most likely you will end up like Chen Xuanfeng and Mei Chaofeng."

Wang Ming was unwilling to leave without any gain. In ancient times, there were no high-speed trains or airplanes like in later generations. With such comfortable means of transportation, one could reach the destination in half a day at most.

It took half a month to drive the carriage to Zhongnan Mountain. The road was very torturous, and my body was almost broken. This is not an exaggeration by Wang Ming. The wheels of ancient carriages were made of wood and there were no shock absorbers. All the vibrations were borne by the people inside.

Suddenly, the sound of bells came from the mountain.

Wang Ming was awakened from his thoughts and looked in the direction where the bell sound came from.

"Quanzhen Sect?" he whispered.

His eyes suddenly lit up, and he used his lightness skills to quickly rush from the ancient tomb to Chongyang Palace.

The current Quanzhen Sect is really no threat to Wang Ming. Wang Chongyang has long been dead, and Zhou Botong was trapped on Peach Blossom Island by Huang Yaoshi. I have seen Ma Yu in the desert. From his fight with Mei Chaofeng, he is at the peak of the first-class level and is about to enter the acquired stage. The other seven Quanzhen disciples are similar, so there is no need to be afraid.

The Tian Gang Bei Dou Formation was the last resort that Lao Wang left for his apprentice. The fact that the formation could trap Huang Yaoshi showed that it was very powerful. Although the Tian Gang Bei Dou Formation was powerful, Wang Ming was not afraid. He knew where the flaws were, so what was there to be afraid of?

Along the way, Wang Ming entered Chongyang Palace very smoothly, and no one noticed that someone had sneaked in. If a group of ordinary disciples could find Wang Ming, then he might as well find a piece of tofu and kill himself. His martial arts skills would be in vain.

When he came up to Chongyang Palace, it was already dark. Wang Ming spent a lot of time exploring the ancient tomb.

After searching around for a while, he finally found the Quanzhen Sect's Sutra Repository. There were a few disciples guarding outside, but such a small number of guards could not stop him.

After sneaking in, I found that the first and second floors were full of Taoist scriptures, Buddhist scriptures, and Confucian classics. This is normal, after all, this is the Quanzhen Sect that emphasizes the integration of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism.

But these had no effect on Wang Ming, so he didn't linger and continued to check if there was anything useful.

On the third and fourth floors, I finally saw various martial arts secrets, but they were all common stuff, such as "Five Tigers Breaking Door Knife" and "Eagle Claw Kung Fu"...

I went to the top floor disappointedly. This floor was much smaller than the floors below, only the size of an attic. I found that the only books here were three thread-bound books packed in exquisite wooden boxes.

One is Wang Chongyang's memoirs, and the other is the Quanzhen Sect's light Kung Fu "Golden Goose Kung Fu".

The last book is the basic swordsmanship of Quanzhen Sect, and at the end it also contains the secrets of the "Tiangang Beidou Formation".

I flipped through the memoirs, but they don't have much to offer. He talks a lot of nonsense, saying that he has achieved perfection and can ascend to heaven. He's dead, but he's still playing this game, leaving something for future generations to remember. As expected, others are gangs, but he founded a religion, and a religion must have doctrines and pursuits.

Gangs will disappear in a hundred years at most, but only sects can be passed down from generation to generation, Shaolin and Wudang are obvious examples. Even if the Quanzhen Sect's ancestral temple was destroyed, there are still some traditions that are passed down to the world.

Quan Zhen's swordsmanship is pretty good. Its moves are not as exquisite as the "Five Mountains Swordsmanship", but its utilization of true energy is unmatched by the "Five Mountains Swordsmanship".

Wang Ming didn't pay much attention to "Golden Goose Kung Fu" at first, because Wang Ming had a lot of Qinggong in his hands, but he was shocked when he turned it over. The name of this Qinggong is quite diaosi, but this Qinggong is quite powerful. Those who have mastered it can walk 37 steps in the air. Flying straight up three feet in the air is shocking and unparalleled.

Wang Ming quickly memorized the secret book, and then continued to search in the attic to see if there was any secret compartment or something like that.

Unfortunately, his efforts were in vain. He did not find the Quanzhen internal energy and the Xiantian Gong in the Sutra Repository. After searching three times, he still found nothing. Wang Ming had no choice but to leave the Sutra Repository.

I looked back at the attic behind me.

"Isn't this defense too simple? It's simply defenseless."

After a while, Wang Ming figured it out.

Don't think that Wang Ming's infiltration was very simple, just like being defenseless. But this is when Wang Ming's cultivation has reached the acquired realm. How many people in the martial arts world today have such a cultivation? It is useless for people with such cultivation to get those secret books. These secret books can no longer improve their strength. There is no difference between having them or not. It's like a high school student who is a top student. Getting elementary school textbooks will have almost no effect on improving his grades.

The real core is internal strength, which is actually quite good. Wang Ming has studied it from Guo Jing, but the top martial artists in the martial arts world look down on it because the speed of practice is too slow. For martial artists, practicing this martial arts is like seeking death. The rivers and lakes are dangerous and fighting constantly, and this kind of martial arts can't keep up with the pace. Quanzhen Sect is full of Taoists, plus they have a large number of people, including Wang Chongyang, the world's number one, and later Zhou Botong. In addition, they don't travel around the rivers and lakes very much, avoiding frequent fights, so they can calm down and practice. Wang Ming walked to a hall in Chongyang Palace and looked at the portrait of Wang Chongyang hanging in the middle of the hall. Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind. Lin Yuantu left the information of "Bixie Sword Manual" on the portrait, so would this be the same?

So he entered the hall, took down the portrait, and sure enough, there was a secret compartment behind it.

He took out the book from the secret compartment, and on it was the thing Wang Ming was most looking forward to this time, "Xiantian Gong".

After opening the secret book, some of Wang Ming's doubts were resolved. No wonder Wang Chongyang gave up such a beautiful woman with whom he was in love and decided to become a Taoist monk.

This martial art is similar to a boy's skill. If one breaks the rules without mastering it, one will suffer serious damage to his vitality at best, or die on the spot at worst.

Although it has many limitations, it also has many advantages. Xiantian Gong is a Taoist breathing exercise, and it is also the martial arts that Wang Chongyang used to defeat all the other martial artists at the Huashan Sword Contest. Wang Chongyang practiced the unique Xiantian Gong, which is a secret technique that is not passed on to others. The secrets in the technique can stimulate a person's potential consciousness to the limit, and the martial arts will naturally enter an unfathomable realm.

After reading the secret book, he put it back into the secret compartment, restored the traces, and was about to leave Zhongnan Mountain after leaving the main hall when he heard the conversation between the two young Taoist priests.

Upon learning that one of the young Taoist priests was named Zhen Zhibing, he immediately stopped and looked at this famous dragon knight.

He is really awesome!
He was one of the few NPCs Wang Ming knew who had successfully slept with the heroine.

then,

Wang Ming knocked the two Taoists unconscious, and then injected a stream of true energy into Zhen Zhibing's body.

This true energy...

No matter what it is, Zhen Zhibing will definitely be a good Taoist priest who is dedicated to Taoism in the future, and maybe he can even bring Quanzhen Sect to a new height.

To be honest, among the three generations of Quanzhen disciples, the most capable ones were Zhen Zhibing and Zhao Zhijing. But Zhao Zhijing wanted to become the head of the sect and became a traitor.

Zhen Zhibing, probably felt that the Taoist profession was not cool enough, so he changed his profession to become a dragon knight.

"Oh! Don't think about it anymore, hurry up and run away. If someone finds two fainted Taoist priests, it will be difficult for me to get out."

After saying this, he quietly sneaked out of Chongyang Palace, waved his sleeves, and left without a single cloud, hiding his achievements and fame.

........................................................................

Earlier, in order to go to the ancient tomb, he found a cave to store the giant sword and luggage that were inconvenient to carry. After returning to the cave, Wang Ming sat cross-legged on a large rock and began to count his gains.

It can be said that the visit to the ancient tomb was in vain, and there was basically no great gain.

The harvest of Chongyang Palace is Quanzhen swordsmanship, "Golden Goose Kung Fu" and "Xiantian Kung Fu".

"My Purple Cloud Qi is increasingly unable to keep up with the pace. The palm strikes I faced against Hong Qigong clearly lacked stamina. Although this Xiantian Gong is a boy's skill, I have no interest in showing mercy in this world, so it's fine to practice it."

Wang Ming was hesitating whether to change his skills.

After thinking for a while, he decided to change it. The only thing in the world that can compare with Xiantian Gong is the Nine Yin Manual. But compared with the Nine Yin Manual, Xiantian Gong is better for Wang Ming.

"Hunyuan Gong", "Zixia Zhenqi" and "Xiantian Gong" are internal skills of the same origin and can be smoothly converted without the need to disperse the skills and start over. However, the Nine Yin Manual may require the skills to be discarded and started over.

Wang Ming slowly transformed the "Purple Cloud Qi" in his body. The transformation was very smooth. After all, the "Purple Cloud Magic Art" was originally created by Hao Datong, and its foundation was the internal strength of Quanzhen Sect.

The body was filled with purple qi, which was transformed and used to practice the Xiantian Gong, but it was only enough for Wang Ming to break through to the fourth level.

However, the new "Xiantian Gong" is quite pure, and its power when used to perform the "Five Mountains Sword Technique" is even greater than before.
