Return to Huangting Lida Catalogue

  "Ah!" Wang Chan took the book, but only saw that the material of these three volumes of scriptures was somewhat similar to his own handwritten copy of "Horizontal Refining", which were all made from sheepskin pages treated with a special method. Although they were thin as cicada wings, they were very tough and not afraid of insect damage, easy to preserve, no wonder they had not rotted for thousands of years since the Song Dynasty.

  I don't even know what kind of person Dao Cheng is in the Taiqing Palace on Laoshan Mountain, yet he can carry around the scriptures annotated by Wang Chongyang himself and run around everywhere with them. Isn't he afraid that their ancestor's handwriting will be lost like this? And to give it to me?

  "Huh? These three volumes of Huang Ting Jing are indeed different from the ones circulating nowadays, they're completely distinct!"

  Now he just flipped through it, looked at two or three pages, and Wang Chan immediately discovered that these three volumes of scriptures were greatly different from what he had seen before.

  The three volumes of scriptures that Zhang Daocheng gave to Wang Zhen, however, directly divided the three scriptures into "Taiqing", "Shangqing" and "Yuqing" respectively. Each volume explained a scripture that was completely different from what Wang Zhen had imagined.

  Later, there were many more patterns, obviously from other boxing masters, and also different from the Xiantian Xuan Gong Quan. Obviously, Zhang Daocheng was not lying, his boxing skills were also learned from books.

  As for the scriptures in the book, the words are intricate and profound, similar to those recorded behind his horizontal refining method, Wang Chan couldn't understand them at first glance.

  "Heaven and earth are not benevolent, regarding all things as straw dogs!"

  "Things in the world are constantly changing, and even you, a cultivator of the Tao, cannot escape the mundane. For the sake of your desires, you often obscure your original heart and compromise, but don't realize that our hearts are the easiest to be influenced. The red dust is like a furnace, and worldly thoughts are like copper and iron. If you can't resist temptation and constantly temper yourself, your heart will be destroyed by itself, and you'll lose yourself in the world, unaware of your true nature.

  Since you have a reason for doing this, I won't blame you anymore. However, if you want to exchange these three volumes of the 'Huang Ting Jing' for my Tian Gang stone, don't regret it later and cause more trouble. Otherwise, I'll be provoked and kill my way up to your Lao Shan, making sure that everyone in the Tai Qing Palace is exterminated. It's not impossible."

  He himself is an unparalleled master of boxing, who has devoted himself to this for more than 20 years. With his eyes, he can naturally see that the figures and patterns recorded in these pictures are extremely profound boxing techniques. Zhang Daocheng's Xiantian Xuan Gong Quan is only considered a mediocre product among them, far from being profound.

  If Jin Yong had written it later, he wouldn't have solely placed him at the top of the world's five absolute experts, suppressing all sides to achieve the beautiful name "Zhong Shentong". The reason for this is absolutely not just an empty reputation.

  But Wang Chongyang, who was first a Confucian and later a Taoist, advocated for the unity of the three teachings, thoroughly understanding the classics of Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism. He emphasized that the most important thing in cultivation is to cultivate both nature and life, first cultivating one's nature and then cultivating one's life. This was the greatest achievement of the Quanzhen School after the Song Dynasty. These boxing techniques and martial arts were incorporated into the "Huangting Jing" at some point, and their appearance had already merged with the Quanzhen Taoist principles of eliminating emotions and desires, recognizing the heart and seeing nature, and had the wonders of nourishing life and practicing qi.

  But that so-called Tianjue Stone, no matter how precious it is, is useless in Wang Chan's eyes. Exchanging this thing with each other will certainly not be a loss.

  Cultivation is not the same as practicing martial arts, although they are closely related. The starting point is different: one cultivates the body and refines the physical form, while the other cultivates the mind and nurtures one's nature. One is about being brave and making progress with an undistracted heart, while the other is about transcending worldly attachments to understand the heavenly principles and human virtues. Although both are processes of cultivating one's true self, who can truly avoid even a hint of worldly entanglements?

  Everyone says gods are gods, but who in this world has ever seen a god with their own eyes?

  From the moment he rushed into the room, to the two sides clashing, killing Liu Lao San, and until now, it was said very slowly, actually from start to finish, it was only five or six minutes. At this time, although there were always voices coming from outside the door, no one had burst into the room yet.

  "The Taoist and Buddhist techniques are ultimately useless for one's own life, and have not reversed the natural order, formed elixirs, or cleansed the marrow. They are not the right path. I'm giving you this Heavenly Punishment Stone, and after you return, put aside other things for now and diligently cultivate your Innate Mystical Fist technique. Otherwise, in twenty to thirty years, you will definitely be gone." Wang Chan nodded towards Zhang Daocheng, handing over the Heavenly Punishment Stone while also kindly reminding him.

  "Thank you, benefactor, for your kind words!" Zhang Daocheng hurriedly bowed to Wang Chan with a Taoist salute and sighed: "Unfortunately, I'm already nearly 70 years old this year, my lifespan is limited, and I met the benefactor a few years too late. If we had met ten years earlier, perhaps I would have had the possibility of advancing to the Pre-Heavenly Realm. Now it's still not possible. I only hope that I can take back this Heavenly Punishment Stone, fulfill the wishes of my ancestors, and come back to cultivate in the next life."

  Just then, both of them moved their ears at the same time and felt footsteps outside the door. To their surprise, three or four people had arrived outside the suite at this moment.

  "Something's wrong, someone is coming from outside and has already reached the gate. They'll be pushing the door open soon."

  "Damn it, Liu Lao San has already been killed by you. This Jin Hai Lou is full of his men, everyone has a gun and bullets are loaded. Seeing this scene, I, Poor Dao, would not be able to explain even with a thousand mouths. Hurry up and give me the Tian Gang Stone, let's jump off the building and get out of here!"
