I Want Moxibustion
"From now on, you'll learn bad habits from Mr. Mengfei."
Fairy Li covered her mouth and chuckled as she watched Daoist Jin figure.
"Alas, one is influenced by one's company. Being near Mr. Mengfei makes one resemble Mr. Mengfei."
Daoist Jin spoke to Fairy Li Fairy Li so gently just now, as if he was afraid that raising his voice would frighten her.
Fairy Li didn't come to keep Su Ziyang that evening, saying she needed to prepare for going out.
While practicing his martial arts that evening, Su Ziyang saw the "gentle" Daoist Jin with a smiling face. Then Su Ziyang felt the ultimate gentleness of Daoist Jin.
"Master, let's keep things separate. We can't use this to settle personal scores."
Su Ziyang stood rooted to the spot, not daring to move, and whispered.
"I've already given you plenty of face in front of Girl Li. Tonight, I'll give you plenty of face as well."
Then Su Ziyang witnessed firsthand what it meant to be like a ghost; Daoist Jin's figure left afterimages as he spun around.
Su Ziyang had one feeling—pain.
The Golden Bell Shield and Iron Cloth Shirt techniques only provide protection; they don't eliminate pain.
Su Ziyang wanted to retaliate, but he couldn't see Daoist Jin at all.
After three hours of training, Su Ziyang had never felt so tired and sat on the ground, refusing to get up.
Aren't you tired?
Su Ziyang saw Daoist Jin standing in front of him and asked.
"Young people need to exercise more."
Daoist Jin waved his hand, put his hands behind his back, and Dada away.
"That's insane. The one getting beaten up gets tired, but how can the one beating up not get tired too?"
Su Ziyang got up from the ground, grumbling as he went home.
After three days of intense training, Su Ziyang was on the verge of collapse, but under this high-pressure environment, his Su Ziyang skills improved by leaps and bounds.
Su Ziyang also felt his movements becoming faster and faster. Yang Tianzheng even tried to grab him several times but failed, which amazed Yang Tianzheng.
In the consultation room, Fairy Li placed a suitcase in Su Ziyang's room.
"Susu, I'm leaving this box with you. I'm going to find Yang Yang in the back. Don't look at the treasures inside!"
Fairy Li's words only fueled Su Ziyang's curiosity.
Half an hour later, Su Ziyang finally couldn't resist and opened the clasp on the box.
The moment he opened the box, Su Ziyang was stunned.
A compass, a piece of red rope, talisman paper, a token...
There were also many things that Su Ziyang didn't recognize.
"Ahem. Going through other people's things is not a polite thing to do, you little brat."
Fairy Li coughed from behind, startling Su Ziyang.
"Zijun... hehe, I really couldn't resist. You said I couldn't look, but I was itching to see."
Su Ziyang scratched his head sheepishly.
"Tch. Don't look at this again, or you'll regret it!"
Fairy Li gently punched Su Ziyang's chest before putting the box away.
"I'm leaving now. I'll head back first, then I'll take you out to eat."
Not long after Fairy Li left, Mr. Mengfei walked in, taking small, stealthy steps like a thief.
I saw you two holding hands.
Mr. Mengfei was incredibly Eight Trigrams; he started arguing with Su Ziyang as soon as he entered the door.
"You've held hands, so what?"
Su Ziyang adopted a shameless attitude, as if to say, "So what if I take your hand?"
"Good, good. You've made progress. I'll give you a treasure."
As he spoke, Mr. Mengfei pulled three ancient books from his pocket. Upon seeing the titles, Su Ziyang completely collapsed...
The Peng Zu's Eighteen Benefits
The Classic of the Plain Maiden
"Nourishment and Benefits in the Bedchamber"
"Master..." Su Ziyang called out helplessly, "You, you..."
"What are you talking about? Take a good look at these two books. I'm telling you, I don't ask anything else of you. After you get a girlfriend, just don't neglect your cultivation. Also, you need to learn these bedroom arts well. They'll be helpful for your cultivation."
Mr. Mengfei spoke with utmost seriousness, and Su Ziyang knew that Mr. Mengfei was not joking with him, so he sat up straight and listened attentively.
"Also, after learning the art of the bedroom, although it is wonderful, you must never become addicted to it. The art of the bedroom is like exploring a snake pit for treasure; there are treasures, but also dangers. Remember this well."
Su Ziyang nodded and said he understood.
"Good to know."
Mr. Mengfei didn't say much more; after giving his instructions, he turned and left.
Su Ziyang had heard of this kind of book before, but had never read it. Su Ziyang didn't expect that Mr. Mengfei would have such a book, especially an ancient one.
The Classic of the Plain Maiden tells the Plain Maiden, who was the teacher of the Yellow Emperor. The book discusses many things, mainly how to preserve essence and prolong life during the union of Yin and Yang, and how to benefit from it.
The "Peng Zu's Eighteen Benefits" is said to have been passed down by Peng Zu. It describes many different movements, which left Su Ziyang completely bewildered.
The book "Nourishment and Benefits in the Bedchamber" was written by Sun Simiao, the "King of Medicine." Its content is quite complex, mainly discussing some taboos.
For example, one should not have sex after drinking alcohol, nor on one's own birthday, on the four days of absolute separation, on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, or on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month.
The day before the winter solstice, summer solstice, spring equinox, and autumn equinox are collectively called the "Four Separations"; the day before the beginning of spring, summer, autumn, and winter is collectively called the "Four Absolutes".
The book "Nourishment and Benefits in the Bedchamber" also includes information on when to conceive, what days are auspicious for sexual intercourse, and so on.
The knowledge was complex, Su Ziyang knew he wouldn't understand it all in a short time, so he planned to just flip through it a couple of times, put it away, and take it home to study at his own pace.
While flipping through the book "The Nourishment and Benefits in the Bedchamber," Su Ziyang found two pages tucked inside. The text was printed, and the edges were very uneven, as if they had been torn from somewhere.
"Why is there something else mixed in here?"
Su Ziyang opened the two pages and began to read; inside was a story.
It is said that in some dynasty, a notorious bandit appeared on a mountain.
This bandit was incredibly strong and ran very fast on the mountain; we tried to catch him many times but failed.
Moreover, this bandit not only robbed people of money, but was also a lecherous thief and a notorious womanizer. Legend has it that he could sleep with ten women a day.
Later, a local official ordered that the man be captured, and after searching with many people, he was finally caught.
During the interrogation, it was discovered that the man was over ninety years old.
The county magistrate asked him, "Look at your age, you should be so old that even a strong wind could wet your shoes. How can you still sleep with ten women a day?"
The old man said that since he was young, he would perform moxibustion on the Guanyuan acupoint 900 times every year on the days of the beginning of spring, summer, autumn and winter, as well as the winter solstice, summer solstice, spring equinox and autumn equinox.
This is the power of moxibustion. Let me explain what "zhuang" means. During moxibustion, there are moxa sticks and moxa wool. The moxa wool is shaped into a small cone, and that's called a "zhuang".
Later, the county magistrate didn't believe it, since the man had committed a crime, so he had him killed.
After the person was killed, someone dissected him. After the dissection, they dug out a round, black ball at the Guanyuan acupoint. This ball could generate heat.
Only then did people believe it: Oh! So the old man's description of firepower might actually be true.
After reading the two pages, Su Ziyang threw the papers on the table and made a silent resolution.
I want moxibustion!!!
