Chapter Eleven Doubts

  As he walked out of the Demon Vanquishing Department, the sun had already set in the west. Walking on the street, Gao Feng felt a bit dazed. In just one day and night, he had experienced more things than he had in his entire eighteen years of life. From birth to death, from death back to rebirth, it was like a dream that seemed both real and illusory. He didn't know where the high mountain was, nor did he understand the sudden change in his position as an official.

  It was because of what that there was such a change, Gao Feng did not believe in fate, but the family had been passed down for dozens of generations, with many disasters and difficulties, physical weakness and illness, all of which were real, Gao Feng subconsciously touched the position of his heart, and all of this seemed to be related to that jade pendant that was stabbed into his body.

  Could this jade pendant really bring honor and wealth to the wearer, as Father said before he passed away? If so, why didn't our ancestors' lives change for the better?

  On the way home, they passed through a market. It was now in season and there were many vendors selling fruit trees. Gao Feng still remembered the owner of the voice from last night in the mountains, who had asked him to buy some apples and pears for his children. Thinking about the owner's childish words made Gao Feng feel better, so he bought some apples and pears at a vendor's stall.

  Both public and private matters were done, with a fruit in hand, Gao Feng's mood gradually calmed down. At this time, what he was thinking about was the "Pre-Heavenly Mysterious God-Subduing Technique" that connected the initial stage and the mixed yuan skill.

  With this in mind, as he walked on the road, the true energy inside his body began to circulate unconsciously. Ever since practicing Hunyuan Gong, the true energy had become a natural part of his body for Gao Feng, and he wouldn't pay special attention to it. From last night till now, Gao Feng hadn't even thought about it.

  This circulation of true energy, Gao Feng only discovered that the true energy in his body was many times more abundant than yesterday. What "top-grade Qi absorption", "Great Achievement of Hunyuan Gong" and "condensation without stagnation" were indeed real. However, as soon as he circulated the true energy, Gao Feng immediately stopped in his tracks. He suddenly discovered that the meridians and dantian in his body had disappeared!

  When learning martial arts, the masters of the clan would first talk about the dantian and meridians. The true energy is born from the dantian and runs through the meridians, and only then can a warrior possess extraordinary abilities.

  From "practicing bones" to "guiding qi", although it's just one level, for most people, this one level is like a high mountain and a deep valley, extremely difficult to cross. Otherwise, there wouldn't be such vulgar sayings as beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels. The body will also undergo qualitative changes. Gao Feng was prepared for this, but he didn't expect the change to be the disappearance of his meridians. Last night, in that critical moment, he couldn't care about so much and didn't notice it. But when using martial skills, circulating qi and exerting force all rely on the meridians - what can be done without them?

  Gao Feng suddenly stopped walking on the road, which startled the surrounding pedestrians. Gao Feng didn't even notice the feelings of the people around him.

  Practicing Gongfa, the true energy is stored in the meridians and Dantian, this is a common sense that martial artists know. If there are no meridians and Dantian, does it mean there is no true energy? Gao Fang was most afraid of this, but he soon discovered that although he couldn't feel the meridians and Dantian, his body was still filled with true energy.

  The true energy is the vehicle, and the meridians and dantian are the roads and inns where the vehicle gallops and runs. The other parts of the body are the mountains, rivers, fields, villages, and towns along the road. Compared to the surrounding mountains and villages, the capacity of the roads and inns is unknown how many times different. Gao Fang's true energy now is unknown how many times more than before.

  Can't follow the meridian to run, how to exert force, Gao Feng suddenly became confused. He remembered what his teacher said that year, the most important thing about the Dan Tian meridian is a feeling. If a martial artist suddenly can't feel the meridian, it's not uncommon. When encountering such a situation, recall the position of the meridian and try to run it.

  The location of the meridians, the most intuitive impression is the display on the tree stump's cross-section last night, Gao Feng tried to recall and feel, and indeed there was an effect. Originally in a confused state within the body, suddenly a line lit up, these lines intersected with each other, forming a network of meridians inside the body, then at some point they merged and connected, becoming the location of the dantian.

  Gao Feng let out a breath of relief, this was really scary, it seemed like he had struck it rich yesterday and suddenly became penniless today. He came back to his senses and found that passersby were looking at him with strange eyes. Gao Feng also reacted and quickly lowered his head and hurried along the road, but he felt that he didn't dare relax in the slightest, fearing that he would lose track of the meridian's position again.

  In the past, the circulation of true energy was a very vague feeling for Gao Feng, but the human-shaped demonstration seen on the section of the tree trunk was extremely intuitive. Walking on the road, Gao Feng did not follow the way of true energy circulation according to Hunyuan Gong, and subconsciously used the "Xiantian Hunyuan Zhen Shen Jue" from that human-shaped demonstration.

  The town's divine art is indeed extraordinary. In the past, when running the mixed yuan gong true energy, the speed was not fast, and there was often a feeling of stagnation. But with this town's divine art, the true energy flowing through the meridians seems to be like a river rushing forward, without any obstacles, and the body feels extremely refreshing.

  While operating the true energy, he walked and advanced, Gao Feng was completely immersed in it, but didn't notice that his walking speed was getting faster and faster, although Gao Feng himself still thought he was walking normally.

  The pedestrians on the road were also amazed, and the young man carrying fruit looked like he was walking, but his pace was much faster than others running. Moreover, he could dodge in time and wouldn't bump into people. This was just after crossing the first street, and by the time he reached the second street, the speed of Gao Feng had already surpassed that of a galloping horse. In the end, the pedestrians on the road only felt a gust of wind blowing by, and a flash of a figure, unable to see his face or anything else.

  Although it's strange, the people of Zhongjing Prefecture are knowledgeable and have seen a lot. In addition to the many talented individuals in the capital, there are also Daoist priests and practitioners who can fly in the sky. To them, what's strange is just that - strange, but not particularly noteworthy.

  They were already in front of their own home, Gao Feng was stunned, didn't expect to arrive home so quickly, hurriedly stopped his footsteps. As he stopped, the ground suddenly started to blow with a gust of wind, blowing dust forward. He had walked too fast, his body bringing up the wind, but as he stopped, the wind didn't stop, continuing forward. Only Gao Feng himself didn't feel anything, having just been too absorbed in thought.

  Two clansmen living near Gao Fang's house were chatting there, but unexpectedly a strong wind blew up dust and dirt, they dodged in time to get a gray head and dirty face, and complained repeatedly there.

  "Not a single tree branch moved all day long, how did this ghostly wind suddenly appear when the sky is about to darken, it's really..."

  "Just go and wash up, you say, Second Master was fine in the morning, how did he get angry when he returned to his own house in the afternoon, and even whipped Jincai with a whip... what's going on..."

  They were actually far away from Gao Feng, and what they said should have been inaudible according to normal logic. However, Gao Feng heard it clearly. The "Second Master" mentioned by the clan members was actually the half-brother of Prince Fēng Tiān, General of the Left Army of the Imperial Guard, Gāo Tiān Hé. That rich and wealthy elder brother was precisely the one who set up the scheme, Gāo Jìn Cái.
