Travel through the heavens

Chapter 121: Carefully Observe Yin and Yang and Adjust Them

After telling the story of the Sweeping Monk, Fang Muye no longer had any doubts about the fact that he was a Shaolin monk.

In fact, this is "within reason". Shaolin Temple has always been hailed as the top martial arts in the world, so it is normal for it to produce one or two masters at the "Five Wonders" level.

Back then, at the Zuixian Tower in Yangzhou, Andinghe said, "Could the monk in the middle be a great monk of the Shaolin Ling generation?" He really hit the nail on the head.

Fang Muye clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, divine monk, for clearing up my confusion."

The sweeping monk smiled and said slowly, "I also want to thank Donor Fang. That female donor never revealed her name back then. If it weren't for Donor Fang's judgment of the 'Five Wonders of the World', I still wouldn't know the identity of that female donor. 'The Miraculous Ability of the Child-Grandmother of Tianshan', the female donor's skills are indeed extraordinary and miraculous."

Fang Muye said: "Back then, the divine monk was no match for the Child-Grandma of Tianshan, but now he has surpassed her."

The sweeping monk said calmly, "Amitabha, as a Buddhist disciple, you should uphold the Dharma. If you are obsessed with the level of martial arts, you are missing the point. I was really guilty of falling into that trap back then."

Fang Muye bowed and said, "The divine monk has profound Buddhist teachings, and I admire him. I am sorry to bother him for a long time, so I will take my leave now."

The sweeping monk folded his hands and said, "Goodbye, benefactor Fang. I will not see you off any further."

After bidding farewell to the sweeping monk, Fang Muye walked towards the main hall.

As I was strolling leisurely in the temple, I saw a monk hurriedly passing by in front of me.

The monk was about twenty-three or twenty-four years old, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, a big nose with nostrils pointing upwards, and a rather ugly appearance. His monk's robe had many patches on it, but it was very clean.

Another monk who was a little older walked by slowly and asked him gently, "Xu Zhu, you are in such a hurry, where are you going?"

Xu Zhu paused, put his hands together and saluted, and replied: "Xu Zhu greets Uncle Hui Fa. The abbot summoned me, and I am on my way to see him."

Huifa smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Since the abbot has summoned you, go quickly and don't keep him waiting for too long."

Xu Zhu bowed again and said, "Yes, uncle-master." Then he left in a hurry.

Fang Muye's heart moved. When Xiao Yuanshan said that he had something to discuss with Xuan Ci alone, he guessed that he was most likely going to tell Xuan Ci that Xu Zhu was Xuan Ci's son. Now that Xu Zhu was summoned to see Xuan Ci, this further confirmed it.

Xuan Ci had always thought that his son was abducted by bandits and had no idea whether he was alive or dead, and he was worried about it day and night. Now that he knew that his son was actually Xu Zhu who had been staying in the temple, he must be filled with mixed emotions. He summoned Xu Zhu to see him, but it was hard to say whether he would immediately tell Xu Zhu about their father-son relationship.

In fact, he was the enemy who murdered Xuanci's wife and Xuzhu's enemy who murdered his mother. Just like Murong Bo to Xiao Yuanshan and Xiao Feng, he was also a "big villain" to them.

While his mind was running wild, Fang Muye arrived at the Main Hall and exchanged some pleasantries with Master Xuan Ku. Then, with Master Xuan Ku's farewell, he left the Shaolin Temple with Xiao Yuanshan, Xiao Feng and Duan Yu.

After walking for several miles, Xiao Feng finally couldn't stand it anymore and asked Fang Muye, "Master, how can I cure the illness caused by my father's forced Shaolin martial arts training?"

Xiao Yuanshan said loudly: "Feng'er, your father has been deeply injured and it may be difficult to recover. Please don't make things difficult for your master."

Fang Muye smiled and said, "Brother Xiao, don't worry. I am confident that I can cure your internal injuries. Let me diagnose you first."

Xiao Yuanshan laughed and said, "Then I'll trouble you, brother."

Fang Muye grabbed Xiao Yuanshan's arm and placed his fingers on his pulse. After a moment, he understood the condition, which was exactly as he had expected.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that imbalance of yin and yang is the source of all diseases!

The so-called "one yin and one yang is the Tao, excessive yin or excessive yang is disease."

In the Suwen, it is said that "yin and yang and the four seasons are the beginning and end of all things, and the basis of life and death. If you go against them, life will be harmed; if you follow them, no severe diseases will arise. This is called attaining the Tao."

In Suwen Zhizhen Yaoda Lun, it is said: "Carefully observe the location of yin and yang and adjust them, aiming for balance."

It is about "Yin and Yang" which is related to the causes of human diseases and also to the methods of curing diseases.

Xiao Yuanshan's injury was caused by excessive Yang energy in his body, which led to excessive internal fire and caused damage to his vital energy. As long as the Yin and Yang in his body were balanced, he could be cured.

Fang Muye smiled and said, "To cure Brother Xiao's injury, there are two methods to choose from: 'rescue by others' and 'rescue by yourself'."

Xiao Yuanshan asked, "What is the difference between the two methods? Please explain it to me, brother."

Fang Muye said: "The 'healing' method is that I will use my internal energy to heal Brother Xiao's injuries, which will be cured immediately, but Brother Xiao's internal energy will be slightly depleted. The 'self-healing' method is that I will teach Brother Xiao two techniques. As long as Brother Xiao practices diligently, the injuries will be gradually healed, but it will take some time. However, once the injuries are healed, Brother Xiao's internal energy will be greatly improved."

In the original novel, the internal injuries that Murong Bo suffered from practicing Shaolin martial arts were caused by excessive Yin energy in his body, which caused wind and cold to block his vital energy, which was exactly the opposite of Xiao Yuanshan's condition.

The Sweeping Monk's method of treating them was the "rescue by others" method of external intervention. He first made them pretend to be dead and sleep like a tortoise, then activated their blood vessels, and finally stimulated their internal energy. He let them hold each other's hands, respond to each other's internal energy, use yin to help yang, use yang to transform yin, integrate them, and make up for the deficiency with surplus.

But in the process, the yin and yang of the two were offset, and their internal strength and vitality were depleted, so their faces gradually turned from red to blue and then turned pale, and only returned to normal after a while.

Fang Muye's method of "saving others" is much simpler. He only needs to use his own strong true energy of "yin and yang turning according to the heart" to heal Xiao Yuanshan's injuries.

Xiao Yuanshan hesitated for a moment and said, "I am thinking of the method of 'self-rescue', but I also know that the method that can heal my internal injuries must be precious and mysterious. How can I dare to accept it easily?"

Fang Muye smiled and said, "Brother Xiao is Feng'er's biological father, and I am Feng'er's master. There is no need for you and me to mind such trivial matters."

Xiao Yuanshan clasped his fists and said solemnly: "If my old age does not bother me, I am willing to join your sect and do my best to help you."

Fang Muye didn't expect Xiao Yuanshan to make such a suggestion. He laughed and said, "That's what I wish for, but I dare not ask you! Brother Xiao will be the elder of our Hunyuan Xingyi Taiji Sect from now on, and we are of the same generation."

Xiao Feng and Duan Yu immediately bowed to Xiao Yuanshan and said, "Disciple greets the elder!"

Afterwards, the four of them continued to descend the mountain. Since Xiao Feng had promised Qiao Sanhuai and his wife that he would go home for the night, he returned alone. Fang Muye and the other two found a valley nearby to rest.

After eating some game to fill their stomachs, Fang Muye taught Xiao Yuanshan the "Liang Yi Tai He Gong" and "Hun Yuan Gong". These two exercises are well versed in the theory of Yin and Yang, and have extraordinary effects in treating Xiao Yuanshan's internal injuries.

When Xiao Yuanshan practices the "Hunyuan Gong" to the fourth level "Sun and Moon Seal", his injuries will be healed and his cultivation will be greatly improved.
