Chapter 29: The Xingyun Formula

  "Hey, you little guy still knows about the 'Tai Xuan Jing'? That's one of the legendary ultimate martial arts classics in the Jianghu, unfortunately for hundreds of years, no matter how wise and brilliant you are, nobody has been able to decipher the 'Tai Xuan Jing' from that stone wall!"

  It seemed that Bu Er heard Bu Fan's murmurs, and Bu Er sighed softly. He glanced at him and said lightly: "However, the stone wall that records 'The Knight's Journey' is not restricted to the people who come to the island to watch it. If you are lucky enough to gain something from the stone wall, it will be a great opportunity!"

  Bù fán qiáng yā xià xīn zhōng de jī dòng, dī tóu bú zài yǎn yǔ!

  Translation:

  Bu Fan suppressed the excitement in his heart and lowered his head without speaking again.

  The Tai Xuan Jing's martial arts indeed encompass all things. According to Jin Da's description, the protagonist Shi Po Tian in "The Gallant Knight" ultimately learned from the stone wall a set of sword techniques, a set of palm techniques, a set of light body skills, and a set of internal strength!

  These kung fu methods are not annotated from written texts, but rather are observed through the transformation of written characters into diagrams.

  In the end, there are even strange tadpole scripts that confuse people!

  "Bang!"

  Just as Bu Fan was immersed in his thoughts about the Tai Xuan Jing, a palm wind slapped onto the back of his head, instantly waking him up.

  "You silly kid, what are you daydreaming about again? I've called out to you several times and you haven't even heard me!" Er Baozi scolded loudly.

  "Second Uncle, I was distracted for a moment. What did you just say? Continue!" Bu Fan said with a smile, rushing towards Second Uncle after being slapped awake by him.

  Fortunately, Uncle Bu Er was not really angry. Seeing Bu Fan wake up, he said seriously: "Next, you listen to me carefully, first take this!" He handed over an ancient-looking book to Bu Fan.

  Bu Fan received the book, took a look at the cover, and saw that on the blue and white striped cover, three large characters were written in a flying dragon and dancing phoenix style. Hmm, the characters looked beautiful, but unfortunately, Bu Fan couldn't recognize them.

  It's just that this character is not a simplified character that Bo Fan is familiar with, but an ancient traditional character! If it were regular traditional characters, then it would be fine. Bo Fan can still recognize about 70-80% of them by comparing them to the simplified characters.

  But ironically, this character is written with great flourish and beauty, but as a result, Bu Fan can't tell it apart!

  Then, Bu Fan flipped through the cover and looked at the content of the book. On the first page, there was a simple diagram of the human body structure.

  A rough figure inside the diagram, with a simple meridian line in his body, looks like a small Zhou Tian practice.

  "Little one, this is the 'Xingyun Jue' inner power technique that Ben Zhuang's guards can learn. Next, Second Uncle will teach you this set of inner power. Go back and practice it well, got it?" said Second Uncle to Stepping Clouds.

  "Xingyun Qu? It seems that there is no such technique in the Xingyun Quan, could it be that he created it later?" Stepping on the second uncle's words, Stepping ordinary couldn't help but think with surprise.

  "Second Uncle, is this Cloud Striding Fist powerful or not?" Bufan thought for a moment before asking cautiously. He actually wanted to ask if he could learn the Void Cloud Fist, but was afraid that as soon as he mentioned it, he would be taken to see the Manor Lord...

  Seeing Bu Fan's expectant gaze, Bu Er Shu's face revealed a hint of embarrassment, and then he fiercely educated him, saying: "Youngster, don't be too ambitious for now. Even if I were to teach you advanced martial arts, could you cultivate them? The Xing Yun Quan may not be extremely profound, but it is still the foundational martial art that has been passed down in our Bu Family Manor for hundreds of years. Its benefits will become apparent once you've cultivated it!"

  Bu Fan was speechless. The four words "Zhugong Wuxue" had already made it clear to him that Xingyun Quan was just a simple martial art.

  "Ah!"

  He let out a breath, and Ping Fan calmed down his emotions. Perhaps he had been too ambitious, thinking of learning extraordinary martial arts from the start, but forgetting that the path to martial arts requires a solid foundation, one step at a time!

  "Second Uncle, I understand now, please teach me!" Bu Fan said respectfully to Second Uncle.

  Step Two Uncle nodded and began pointing at the meridian directions in the album, explaining to Step Fan.

  After Bu Ershu finished speaking, Bu Fan began to practice the Xingyun Jue under his guidance.

  The route of Xingyun Jue is not very complicated, but the meridians it runs through are much higher than those of Small Water Wheel Qigong.

  The small Zhou Tian actually only makes a small cycle within the body, but the Xing Yun Jue has already spread to various parts of the body. It seems that this is what is called the Big Zhou Tian.

  After running a big cycle according to the route of Xing Yun Jue, Bu Fan slowly opened his eyes, feeling refreshed and invigorated at this moment!

  "How's it going? Have you remembered the route of your journey?" asked Step Two Shu, looking at Step Fan with his eyes open.

  "Ah, got it!" Bufen replied with delight.

  "Then go back and practice well, but remember that the Xingyun Jue can be practiced more every day, but it cannot be over-practiced. The Xingyun Jue itself has the effect of nourishing and warming the meridians, and after a long time of practicing, your meridians will naturally expand and become stronger. However, if you practice too hard without stopping to rest, your meridians will inevitably be damaged. If they are damaged, it will be difficult to recover them again. Do you understand?" said Shi Er Shu solemnly before he left.

  Bo Fan nodded and then walked back to his own room with big strides.

  After returning, Bu Fan sat cross-legged on the bed, continuing to run the Xingyun Jue. Each time he ran the Xingyun Jue, he felt his internal Qi becoming thicker and more robust.

  However, after running for twelve weeks, Bu Fan felt a slight swelling sensation in his body, he knew that this was what Bu Ershu said, the meridians had reached their limit, and if he continued to run strongly, he would surely damage the meridians.

  After stopping, Bu Fan felt a little bored in the house and wanted to leave Jianghu, but now it was daytime, and he was afraid that something else would happen.

  After some thought, Bu Fan suddenly remembered something - it was the footwork and knife techniques that Bu Yan had left him before he departed.

  Those footwork and knife techniques, although he had tried them out during realistic training, but when linking them together, he discovered that they required extremely good bodily coordination. And his physical quality was changing every day at that time, so wanting to master it in a short while was very difficult.

  Nowadays in this world of martial arts, it's better to try here!

  After thinking about these things, Bu Fan casually found a wooden stick from the house to serve as a short knife and began practicing his footsteps and knife techniques in the room according to his memory.

  In the Jianghu, Bu Fan's physical quality is indeed better than in reality. His footwork and knife skills are both more relaxed than in reality.

  However, when combining footwork and swordsmanship into one entity, difficulties arise, and under the coordination of both, footwork finds it hard to be used in conjunction.

  After practicing many times, every step was either neglecting one thing for another or unable to keep up with the pace of drawing the sword, or when drawing the sword, unable to twist the body and so on!

  "Hmm, maybe I should find someone else to help!" Suddenly, Bu Fan, who was sitting on the stool resting, had a flash of inspiration in his mind.

  However, he then remembered Bu Yan's words and could no longer bear to show this set of knife techniques and footwork to others.

  "Hey, Second Uncle, he shouldn't count as a person, right! Besides, in the Bu Family Village, when it comes to these few sets of knife techniques and footwork, I'm sure he wouldn't even give them a glance!" Bu Fan thought for a moment before finding an excuse to say.

  Then, Bu Fan got up and ran out again, finally finding Bu Er Shu in the martial arts arena, and then pulling him back to the room, demonstrating his knife skills and step methods to Bu Er Shu.

  "Where did you learn these footwork and sword techniques?" Stepped Second Uncle looked at Stepped Ordinary and asked sternly.

  "Yeah, it was just something I thought of myself. After finishing my training, there wasn't much to do, so I thought about whether I could create some martial arts moves on my own, and that's how I came up with it!" Bu Fan replied in a deliberately honest tone.

  Second Uncle Fox looked at him suspiciously, seemingly considering whether or not to believe his words! After all, secretly learning martial arts was a major taboo in the Jianghu.

  However, according to his understanding, Bu Fan seemed to have never left Bu Jia Zhuang, and in Bu Jia Zhuang, he was not known for his knife skills!

  Moreover, his set of knife techniques and footwork, although fierce enough in offense, are only rough and shallow life-taking methods. This knife technique has only two or three styles at most, not even a single move, and there is no qigong method to assist it. If he came up with it himself, it's not entirely impossible.

  Looking at the unpredictable expression on Buer's face, Bu Fan secretly cursed in his heart. He had come with great enthusiasm, but forgot that ancient people attached great importance to family background and social status, a rigid style that was also prevalent in the Jianghu world.

  "Never mind, I just want to tell you that you must not secretly learn martial arts. Otherwise, if it's light, you'll ruin your entire body of martial arts and be expelled from the school. If it's serious, you'll lose your life. Do you understand? However, looking at your footwork and moves, they're quite rough. Let me think about it for a day, and I'll teach you tomorrow!"

  Seeing Bu Er Shu finally nodding in agreement, Bu Fan let out a sigh of relief. Thanks to Bu Yan leaving behind only three moves, with the steps being only half complete, if it were the full set, it wouldn't have been so easy to pass.

  These two days new book, many friends have given rewards, especially the brother of Turbid Wine Sunset, has already rewarded nearly 10,000 starting coins, Qian Shan is grateful!

  There are still many friends who have left many valuable suggestions in the book review area, and Qian Shan has carefully read them all. Some opinions, Qian Shan has also remembered in his heart. Everyone has a martial arts dream in their heart, and Qian Shan hopes to create a perfect martial arts world for everyone.
