It was said that in ancient times, Xuanyuan, the Yellow Emperor's daughter, ascended to heaven during the day. What he practiced was the Sunu Sutra passed down by the Sunu and the Art of Longevity passed down by the Yellow Emperor's teacher, Guang Chengzi.
The Sutra of the Plain Lady talked about the taboos and techniques when men and women had sex. The Art of Longevity, on the other hand, imparted the art of seizing the essence of heaven and earth, consolidating one's foundation and cultivating one's vitality, and becoming one with the world.
As time went by, in the long river of history, the Goddess Sutra became a model for newlyweds to learn and became a treasure of the emperor in the palace.
Although the Art of Longevity was tossed and turned, and had fallen into the hands of many people, very few people had mastered it.
In Linjiang Palace, Song Yang flipped open the Art of Longevity. The first few pages were written in oracle bone inscriptions, and there were many readers 'annotations between the lines. Song Yang had already studied it, so he directly flipped to the last few pages.
There were seven human figures, none of them facing each other. They were guided by various symbols, such as red dots and arrows. Each picture was an important cultivation technique.
Song Yang, who had read the original novel, knew that the secret of the Art of Longevity was like the God of War's Catalog, and it was in these seven human figures.
In the original novel of Tang Twin Dragons, Yang Guang was addicted to wine and sex in his later years, and his martial arts had been abandoned for many years. His cultivation was a little worse than experts like Dugu Sheng and Yuwen Huaji. Therefore, when he obtained the Art of Longevity, Song Yang had already wasted his cultivation and re-cultivated it, directly starting from the highest treasure of Taoism, the Art of Longevity.
Song Yang had inherited Yang Guang's memories, so he naturally knew about the meridians, acupoints, circulation of qi, and other knowledge. Coupled with the plot he knew from the original work, Song Yang started practicing from the last two.
After all, the last two pictures were cultivated by the two main characters in the original novel. With their cultivation experience, Song Yang did not have to take other detours.
After enduring the burning pain in his meridians, Song Yang was already able to move his Qi according to the dotted lines drawn on the picture. It was just that his spirit was weak and he was unable to experience that indescribable level.
In the cultivation system of this Tang novel world, the human body was a small world, and the outside of the human body was another world. Therefore, as long as one grasped the natural principles of these two worlds, the inner and outer worlds would become one, and one could reach the realm of integration of Heaven and man that countless people dreamed of.
In this world, everything in the world evolved into the five elements of Yin and Yang. Metal gave birth to water, water gave birth to wood, wood gave birth to fire, fire gave birth to earth, and earth gave birth to metal. Gold can subdue wood, wood can subdue earth, earth can subdue water, water can subdue fire, and fire can subdue gold.
The five elements, yin and yang, are mutually reinforcing and restraining each other. The positive pole produces yin, and the negative pole produces yang. The five elements can produce yin and yang, and yin and yang also transform into the five elements.
In the small world of the human body, the heart belonged to fire, the lungs belonged to metal, the kidneys belonged to water, the spleen belonged to earth, and the liver belonged to wood. In addition to the separation between life and death, it corresponded to the five elements and yin and yang of the outside world.
Song Yang knew from the original novel that the Art of Longevity originated from the God of War Catalog. It was a supreme method to cultivate essence, qi, and spirit, and it contained the secrets of nature.
The seven pictures inside used one's own five elements, life and death, to enter the path and fuse with the five elements, yin and yang of the world outside. This allowed one to quickly reach the realm of Heaven Man Unity and comprehend the mysteries of the supreme Heavenly Dao shattering the void.
Song Yang, who understood these principles, cultivated the Art of Longevity with half the effort and made rapid progress.
This was because the Art of Longevity directly cultivated Xiantian True Qi. The biggest difference between Xiantian and Houtian was that Xiantian could absorb the energy of the outside world, while Houtian could only absorb its own essence.
Therefore, absorbing earth and heaven energy from the outside world was what Song Yang did the most.
The sunrise. He cultivated the Art of Longevity's sixth diagram, the Art of Yang, under the rising sun and absorbed the Heavenly Yang Qi.
The moon rose. He was cultivating the Yin Formula of the seventh picture of the Art of Longevity under the moonlight, absorbing the Earth Yin Qi.
Not only that, but Song Yang had also practiced the other five diagrams. Although he could not master them, he could at least remember all the circulation paths of these seven diagrams.
During this period of time, Song Yang lived in seclusion. Other than cultivating the Art of Longevity, he was also busy dealing with various matters.
Song Yang had gradually taken control of the military, so he had already ordered the Sui Dynasty general to protect his son and lead 50,000 troops as the vanguard to reinforce Luoyang along the Sui Dynasty Grand Canal.
He also set up checkpoints along the way to control all the important points of the canal. Once the food and supplies in Jiang Du were arranged, Song Yang could lead the entire army back to the north.
Even though the uprising armies in the world had divided the territory of Great Sui into pieces, Song Yang still controlled the three strategic locations of Chang 'an in the north, Luoyang in the Central Plains, and Jiangdu in the south.
Chang 'an was the capital of the Sui Dynasty, Luoyang was the eastern capital of the Sui Dynasty, and Jiangdu, which was close to the sea, was the southern capital of the Sui Dynasty. Since ancient times, these three places had been the battlegrounds of the military and Song Yang had to defend them.
Now that the war was in chaos, anything could happen. Song Yang had to return to the north as soon as possible. Otherwise, once Luoyang fell, Song Yang would lose contact and control of the north. It would be equivalent to losing half of his territory.
Moreover, there was a recent rumor that someone had pawned an ancient jade with the word "long live" in a shop in Dan Yang. That ancient jade was the famous jade that the founding general of the Sui Dynasty, Shi Wanshui, carried with him.
In the past, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Jian, listened to calumny and deposed the Crown Prince Yang Yong and established Yang Guang. Shi Wanshui was implicated and died unjustly, and the person who raided his house was the most influential minister at that time, Yang Su.
Yang Su was the most influential official in the Sui Dynasty. He had conquered the south and the north, and he was invincible. His achievements shocked the emperor and he was deeply suspected by Emperor Wen Yang Jian.
Yang Su himself was not an easy person to deal with. He secretly helped Yang Guang to overthrow Crown Prince Yang Yong, and he secretly plotted to rebel. He accumulated countless weapons, gold, silver, treasures, and other property. However, Yang Su soon died of illness. Yang Guang killed all his followers overnight, but he could not find Yang Su's treasure house.
From then on, there were rumors that whoever could find the "Eunuch Yang's Treasure" would be able to fight for supremacy in this chaotic world.
Now that war was everywhere, all the capable people wanted to be the emperor. Therefore, the weapons and treasures in Eunuch Yang's Treasure House became a matter of competition for the world.
Now that the precious jade with the words "Long Live" was born, it became an important clue for the major forces to investigate Eunuch Yang's Treasure House.
Song Yang, who was familiar with the plot of the original novel, knew that Eunuch Yang's Treasure House, which contained countless treasures, weapons, and the Demon Sect's most precious relic, was in Chang 'an.
This was also the second reason why Song Yang ordered them to return to Chang 'an as soon as possible. Song Yang had to get it as soon as possible to avoid any changes.
Other than that, during this period of time, Song Yang was constantly trying to apply the knowledge he had learned from his previous life to this era. Therefore, he used his free time outside of cultivation to study military strategy, personnel, political strategy, talent utilization, governance, and other knowledge in order to be able to integrate the knowledge of the two different eras.
Just like that, he learned, learned, and learned again. Practice, practice, practice, become stronger, Song Yang was busy with the first bitter and then sweet, and what awaited him was an infinitely beautiful future…
