12 Sitting and Forgetting the Sutra

It took half a day, and most of the boys found the exercises they wanted, and then left.

Ye Qin stayed at the back, taking advantage of this time, he was carefully considering what martial arts he should choose.

He has never seen martial arts since he was a child, even if he wandered around Zhuqi County for half a year, he has only seen some big men in the rivers and lakes who are in a hurry, and he has never seen them show any martial arts, and he doesn't know what martial arts are and what they are used for.

However, he once heard the old people in the ravine village in his hometown say that in the legend, the martial arts in the rivers and lakes are very powerful, flying eaves and walls, tearing tigers and wolves, omnipotent, and should be able to do anything.

Ye Qin thought for a while before he said the kind of martial arts he imagined a little unconfidently.

"This senior brother, is there any kind of martial arts that can make me physically strong, be able to survive hunger when I have no food to eat, freeze when it is cold in winter, and not need to drink water when there is a big drought?"

The young man was stunned by Ye Qin's pitiful request. He didn't expect that Ye Qin would propose such a "strange" exercise. Other boys want the kind of powerful, able to fight and fight, or run very fast. Why does he have to be able to endure hard work, starvation, cold, and water-free exercises?

The young man couldn't help frowning.

Being able to endure hard work, starving, freezing, and drinking less water should belong to the category of internal strength, and external strength cannot do these at all.

The young guard thought for a moment, came to the bookshelf where the basic internal strength and mental method were placed, and flipped through it. I picked out a few related internal strength and mental secrets.

"Drunken Man Lying Down for a Long Time", this mental mantra is very starving, and it is okay to not eat for ten days and half a month, but you need to drink a lot of wine, I'm afraid this kid has no money to buy wine, and it is difficult to become famous.

"Xuanyuan Neijing", attacking the surname Neigong Heart Method, does not meet the requirements.

"The Sutra of Nourishing the Body", uh, this seems to enhance the body, and it should be able to endure hard work, hunger, cold, and thirst.

The youth guard removed it from the bookshelf dust.

He has been stationed here for more than ten years, and he has read the contents of all the secrets here, so he has some impressions. However, this kind of low-level internal strength secret, it is impossible for a core disciple of the Medicine Harvesting Hall like him to cultivate, and the core disciples of the Medicine Harvesting Hall will only cultivate the highest level of the Medicine Harvesting Hall's internal strength mental method.

"This volume of basic internal strength "Cultivation Sutra" is good, and I don't know which small gang got the secret tips, but the exercises in it can fully meet the requirements you want. If you can survive the medicine collection, you can also make a name for yourself in our medicine collection hall after more than ten years, and be promoted to a pharmacist, pharmacist or something. ”

After the young guard took the book down, he flipped through the attached synopsis to see where it came from.

"Oh, the introduction says that this exercise is a family heirloom, and then the people of this family can't survive, so they are forced to take it out and sell it for money. Hmph, I guess I'll be able to live a few more years after practicing. ”

The young man's face was cold, he explained the function of this secret book, and casually threw it to Ye Qin. He secretly laughed in his heart, and he didn't know what kind of small family in the rivers and lakes actually regarded a low-level internal strength secret book as a family heirloom.

Unbeknownst to the young guard, the book did come from a family, but it wasn't as simple as he thought.

A thousand years ago, legend has it that a mysterious and powerful family appeared in the territory of Pyongju. This family has a family heirloom, and the patriarch of the family relies on that secret book to be majestic in Pingzhou, a prefecture and eight counties.

The original name of this secret book was "Sitting and Forgetting the Sutra", not "The Sutra of Cultivation".

But the fate of this family did not always exist, and in the past thousand years, it has risen and fallen twice, and finally declined.

According to the disciple of the family who sells books, it takes a person with a special physique to cultivate this secret book. Only among the thousands of disciples in this family that such a person with a special physique and a cultivation can appear every dozens of generations. After the death of the first head of the family, hundreds of years later, there was a descendant with a special physique who once again refined the exercises in the book, making the family glorious again. But after hundreds of years, no one practiced the exercises inside, and the family eventually declined.

This mysterious family has gradually become a legend in Pingzhou, Wuguo.

The man who sold the book, the last male member of the family, was so destitute that he went to the street to ask for food, and was forced to take it out and sell it to a medium-strength Jianghu gang in Pingzhou, the Carp Gang, for a low price of ten gold coins.

There are nearly 1,000 members of the Liyu Gang, who make a living from river transportation in Pingzhou. When they got the secret, they immediately organized a careful study of the book to find out the mystery. They repeatedly studied every piece of paper, every text, every mezzanine inside, trying to find out if there were any treasures, treasure maps, or ciphers, hints, or anything hidden in the secret book.

Sadly, the Carp Gang spent decades of painstaking research and financial resources, and did not make any discoveries from the book.

They also mobilized dozens of children with the most outstanding martial arts qualifications in the entire Carp Gang to cultivate it, in a vain attempt to cultivate a group of top peerless masters. But unfortunately, none of the children have achieved any effect, and when these children grow up, they are not even as good as ordinary people in the rivers and lakes.

The Carp Gang reluctantly believed that only people with special physiques could cultivate this secret, and it was not available to ordinary people at all. As for what constitutes a special constitution, no one knows at all. Because even the members of that family don't know what a special constitution is.

Because a group of children with the best martial arts qualifications in the Carp Gang have spent more than ten years practicing this "Legendary Secret Book", they missed the best time to learn martial arts, resulting in a lack of follow-up masters in the Carp Gang, and they soon declined and were wiped out by other gangs.

This incident caused quite a stir, and at that time, people in the rivers and lakes jokingly called the secret book "the legendary waste secret", and a medium-sized gang with thousands of people was harmed by self-abolishing martial arts and cutting off the inheritance of incense.

The last gang leader of the Carp Gang was forced to sell all the secrets for money, barely supporting him. In this way, this secret book has passed through the hands of several small gangs. In the end, at the price of a gold coin, it flowed into the hands of the Medicine King Gang.

At that time, the Yaowang Gang had just emerged in Pingzhou, with thousands of gangs, and it was a small gang of medium strength.

The high-level of the Yaowang Gang had also heard that this was the secret of internal strength left by an ancient family in Pingzhou a hundred years ago, so they bought it and wanted to see what was inside. He even used the unique potion of the Medicine King Gang for dialysis to see if there was any invisible handwriting, but he still didn't find anything special hidden in it.

At that time, the high-level leaders of the Medicine King Gang repeatedly studied the content of this book, and felt that it was a bit wrongful to rate it as a "legendary waste secret", and felt that this book should actually have a little effect, such as enhancing the body, prolonging life, and so on.

However, this effect of enhancing the body and prolonging life is not the pursuit of people in the rivers and lakes. The people of the rivers and lakes are only interested in peerless martial arts, powerful attacks and defenses.

Therefore, I attached an evaluation to the book: If this book can be practiced persistently for decades, it should have a very good effect of enhancing physical fitness and prolonging life. However, it does not have any offensive and defensive power that common internal forces have. Be cautious, don't learn it lightly!

Having learned the painful lesson of the Carp Gang, the top brass of the Medicine King Gang did not dare to mobilize all the children in the gang to practice this "legendary" secret book.

When the book was being dialysed with a potion, the old shell of this secret book was damaged by the potion, and a new shell cover was put on.

On the new cover, the leader of the Medicine King Gang renamed the book to an appropriate name: "The Sutra of Cultivation of the Body", and classified it as the lowest grade of basic internal strength and mental method, and stored it in the secret book library and put it on the shelf. Over time, this secret book was gradually forgotten.

In the following hundred years, the Medicine King Gang continued to grow and expand, and took root in Zhuqi County, and this book was also sent to the secret room of the Medicine Collection Hall Library in Zhuqi County, along with a large number of other low-level external and internal martial arts secrets, and it was stored in this secret room for decades, covered with dust, and few people knew what the origin of this book was.

The young guard stumbled over it, but he didn't know the details of the book, and he didn't know that it was a legendary waste secret. He just regarded it as a low-level internal strength method from a small nameless family, and handed it over to Ye Qin. There are too many low-level internal strength secrets in the Medicine Harvesting Hall, like the one Ye Qin took away, it was just one of the hundreds, and it was not a big deal.

Ye Qin hurriedly took it, nodded gratefully, and then left the secret room.

The young guard was still indifferent and expressionless. After Ye Qin left, several other young guards who were also cold walked over, and with a somewhat puzzled look, they asked the young guards who were the leader.

"Senior brother, why did you give him the "Cultivation Sutra"? He is a medicine picking boy, who goes up and down the mountain and valley every day, and learns this internal strength method that has no offensive and defensive power, but he is afraid that he is not far from death. ”

The young guard walked out of the secret room on the third floor and said in a cold voice, "Since he named this kind of strange internal strength of hard-working, hunger-resistant, frost-resistant, and drought-resistant, what do you care about doing more? died, and he also brought it on himself, and it had nothing to do with others. There are so many people dying in our medicine hall every year, and there is not one more of him. Don't gather here, go back to the second floor to practice, tomorrow, I will test your martial arts progress!"

"Yes, big brother!"

The young guards didn't dare to say more, and hurriedly returned to the second floor.
