"How did this happen?"
Lin Muchen asked in confusion," China has been around for 5,000 years. In the past, there were a hundred schools of thought contending with each other. After that, there were Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism. There were many talented people, but not even a single Dharmic formulation was passed down?"”
"Well-it's a long story,"
Du Xin Wu sighed," At the end of Ming Dynasty, the political situation was turbulent and there were constant party struggles. The north was flooded and the south was covered in snow. It was extremely strange.”
"At this time, the Tungus barbarians took the opportunity to enter the pass. Through various means, he managed to win over a group of sects and families, and finally cleaned up the mess and stabilized the Royal Court.”
"Then, there was suppression, destruction, and slaughter. Even those traitors who sided with the imperial court did not have a good end.”
"Lastly, a ban on martial arts will be issued. If anyone gathers to practice martial arts among the people, they will definitely send troops to kill them. This ban lasted for more than two hundred years, and the path of martial arts was completely cut off.”
"Originally, we thought that the imperial palace might have a technique for those beyond the Qi Condensation stage. But look, they lost the Forbidden City, and the little emperor was driven to the Tianjing concession. It seemed that the Qing court had completely gone overboard and had even tricked themselves.”
Lin Muchen did not expect Huaxia to have such a secret history. It was as if the door to another world had been opened. He listened with great interest. But as he listened, a nursery rhyme suddenly sounded in his mind.
" The sun travels through the cotton-like clouds.
The sea breeze blew a burst of happy singing.
We're sitting on a high cliff,
Listening to the old man tell stories of the past.”
Lin Muchen quickly stopped her." System lady, what are you doing?”
"Accompanying the music to liven up the atmosphere. How was my singing? Give me a tip."
After recalling the past, Du Xinwu changed the topic and continued.
"I've been to the battlefield of the First World War and witnessed the power of heavy artillery. A cannon that weighed a hundred pounds was fired, and everyone within a radius of dozens of meters was killed. The flames soared into the sky, and the entire battlefield was as bright as day.”
"From then on, my martial arts never improved. As he grew older, his blood essence declined, and his cultivation base deteriorated instead of advancing.”
Lin Muchen nodded." I understand. It's because your martial heart has already revealed a flaw. The road ahead was boundless and he did not know how to walk. Subconsciously, he thought that flesh and blood could not resist steel. No matter how hard he trained, it was useless. He could not defeat the strong ships and cannons of the foreigners.”
"Exactly." After Du Xinwu sighed, his face turned joyful." But it's different now. Seeing Immortal Master Lin, I see hope in martial arts again.”
When he said this, he knelt down with a thud and bowed his head." I sincerely hope that you will be generous enough to teach me and point out a bright path for the Chinese martial artists."”
Since the old man was so sincere, Lin Muchen would feel bad if he didn't give him some pointers. After thinking for a while, he took out the incomplete manual of the Art of Longevity.
"I found this by chance in Senior's cave abode. I'm here to see if it'll be of any help to you.”
Du Xinwu was so excited that his entire body was trembling. He raised his hands above his head and received it respectfully.
As soon as he got it, he noticed that it was unusual. It seemed to be a remnant page of a book. It was neither silk nor silk. It was soft and tough to the touch, emitting an ancient and mysterious aura.
He couldn't wait to take a closer look. There were no words on it, but a drawing of a human meridian. There were five-colored threads that ran through his meridians and acupoints, forming a cycle.
This picture was the seventh picture of the general principles of the Art of Longevity, which was also the picture that the Twin Dragons of the Tang Empire, Xu Zhiling, had cultivated. It was similar to the internal cultivation method of the Nature Sect, but it was much more advanced.
Lin Muchen waved his hand when he saw that Du Xinwu was instantly immersed in it and could not extricate himself.
"What? You gave it to me?"
Du Xinwu was overjoyed and quickly bowed again.
"Thank you for your reward. I will definitely study it well and not disappoint you.
Lin Muchen casually replied. He placed his hands behind his back and tapped his toes lightly. His figure flew up and floated leisurely towards the beach ten miles away. His appearance was extremely cool.
"Goodbye, Immortal Master."
Du Xinwu stood with his hands by his side and watched Lin Muchen leave obediently. His heart was filled with endless reverence.
"Immortal Master, you are indeed a master. You actually gave away such a precious secret manual just like that. It was truly a great fortune to encounter an immortal encounter today.”
After returning to the shore, Lin Muchen strolled up to the 18-shop pier. It was already the start of a busy day. People were moving about, and it was very lively.
The well-dressed bosses, some in suits and some in long robes, were all in a hurry.
Please, please, please, please
