A Clash of Gods

Chapter 16: Liuhe

Views:

When Yang Ning woke up, the sky was already bright. The sunlight was projected from between the branches and leaves, and the light was mottled. Looking up, he saw the lush trees and the beautiful scenery in the mountains. It was very different from the gloomy darkness of last night. Big difference, the fresh air is breathed into the mouth, which is even more refreshing.

"Are you awake?" Lao Mu Lao's voice came from behind, "I'm thirsty, please go find some wild fruits to satisfy your hunger."

Yang Ning looked back. Although the cave was still a little dark, it was much clearer than last night. Mu Lao was sitting cross-legged in the cave, like an old monk in meditation.

Yang Ning cursed in his heart, feeling a little thirsty himself, and said with a smile: "Lao Lia... Oh, Mu Lao Zao, how did you sleep last night?"

Mu Lao ignored him. Yang Ning felt bored and stood up to move his limbs. The sleep last night had greatly restored his energy and physical strength.

He was about to leave when Mu Lao's voice said from behind: "Little White Rabbit, you are a smart man, don't bring trouble to yourself."

Yang Ning knew what he meant, he was worried about running away, so he smiled and didn't say much.

The trees in the mountains are lush and lush, with dead vines and thorns everywhere. It is not easy to find wild fruits. Fortunately, he is young and agile, and can travel through the mountains quickly. After walking for four or five miles, he can hear the gurgling sound of water. Following the sound, he found that it was a mountain stream. He was feeling thirsty. When he reached the stream, he saw that the water was extremely clear, so he took some stream water and washed his face.

Natural and pollution-free water. Naturally, I drank enough of this water happily. I glanced over and saw that there were indeed a few wild fruit trees not far from the stream. They were full of fruits, but I couldn’t identify what kind they were. Yang Ning went over and picked a few. They were crispy and sweet, and the taste was really good.

He was thinking about whether to take this opportunity to leave. It would be an excellent opportunity to get rid of Mu Lao at this time, but when he thought of Mu Lao's threat, he still felt a little hesitant.

Although the old liar kept talking about cheating and claimed that he had injured his eight meridians with a dead wood hand, Yang Ning still had some doubts in his heart.

The old guy was seriously injured. Yang Ning doubted whether he could really hurt himself by tapping his shoulder twice. More importantly, so far, Yang Ning had not felt any physical discomfort at all.

He rolled his eyes, and continued walking south without hesitation. Less than half an hour later, his heart suddenly tightened, and a tingling sensation spread from his heart to his shoulders.

Yang Ning sat down on the ground, sweating on his forehead, and reached out to hold his heart. At this time, his heart was beating rapidly, and the stinging pain made him almost unable to breathe.

After a while, the stinging pain gradually weakened. When it disappeared, Yang Ning took two deep breaths, with a cold look in his eyes, clenched his fist and cursed: "That old bastard, he was really cruel." He was still doubtful before. Whether the old man is just a coward or not, there is no longer any doubt at this time.

Thinking that she was being coerced by that old thing, Yang Ning was full of anger and blamed herself for not going up the mountain. But now, she can only take one step at a time and act with caution.

He could only turn around and went to the stream to pick five or six fruits. He returned to the cave in a depressed mood. Before he entered the cave, he heard a strange scream coming from inside. He was curious and walked to the entrance of the cave softly. , looked inside, and saw Mu Lao struggling and rolling on the ground, beating his chest desperately with both hands, like a madman.

Yang Ning was startled, thinking to herself, could this old guy have a poisonous attack

Mu Lao let out a low roar, but seemed to be trying his best to suppress his voice. He first struggled and rolled on the ground, then suddenly stood up, rushed to the stone wall in the cave, put his hands on the wall, and then used his head to hit the stone wall. Hit the past.

Yang Ning was horrified. It was not that he didn't want to kill the old guy, but once the old guy was hit and killed, no one would be able to heal his injuries.

Mu Lao looked like a crazy man. After a few bumps, blood dripped from his forehead. However, he seemed not to know the pain at all. Yang Ning ran forward and shouted: "Mu Lao, Mu Lao, what's wrong with you? You can't do this. To yourself?"

Mu Lao suddenly turned his head, and Yang Ning saw that his face was ferocious, and his eyes were blood red at this time. Coupled with the blood flowing down his forehead, the headband tied to his forehead was already stained red with blood.

"Mu Lao...!" Yang Ning saw those eyes staring at him like wild beasts, and his back felt hairy. He thought that this poison was too awesome, and it could actually make a master like Mu Lao degrade into such a birdlike state.

Suddenly, Mu Lao suddenly rushed forward. Yang Ning was already prepared and hurriedly retreated. Mu Lao tripped and fell to the ground. Then he rolled and struggled on the ground again, beating his chest with both hands. Yang Ning The sight was thrilling, and he retreated outside the cave. After a long while, Mu Lao gradually became quiet, and then he became motionless, lying on the ground as if dead.

Yang Ning waited for a short moment before stepping in lightly. He saw Mu Lao's eyes were closed tightly, his teeth were clenched, blood was flowing from his forehead, and his face was horribly pale.

Yang Ning raised his foot and kicked him a few times, but Mu Lao had no reaction.

"Did the old guy really die from the poison?" Yang Ning's heart sank. He squatted down and stretched out his hand to check Mu Lao's breath, only to find that he was still breathing slightly. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and slapped Mu Lao on the face a few times. , couldn't help but cursed: "You old monster, no one can care if you die, why are you dragging me along?" He felt resentful in his heart, and got up and kicked him a few more times.

Suddenly, his eyes froze and he saw a book open at the foot of the stone wall. Curious, he walked over and picked up the book.

When I got it in my hand, I discovered that it was a scroll, most of which had not been unfolded. The scroll felt very smooth, but the texture was obviously not ordinary paper, and I didn't know what material it was made of.

The scroll was a little yellow, and it looked like an ancient scroll from a very old age. Yang Ning looked carefully and saw that there were human bodies drawn every half finger width on the scroll, but the posture of the human body was slightly different, and each person There were criss-crossing lines on the body portrait, and Yang Ning immediately recognized that it was a map of human meridians.

He was a little curious. This picture scroll must belong to Mu Lao, but what was the old guy doing with this picture on him

Mu Lao was as motionless as if he were dead.

The cave was dark, and Yang Ning couldn't see the drawings on the scroll very clearly for a while. When he walked to the entrance of the cave, the light was bright, and he realized that the meridians of the human body were extremely detailed, and most of the meridians were mainly black, but every time A diagram of the human body has extremely conspicuous red lines.

This scroll is very old, its surface has turned yellow, and the red lines are somewhat dim, but they can still be clearly distinguished.

The scroll opens from right to left. On the far right side of the scroll, four large characters are written in ancient Chinese characters from top to bottom, with a few small vertical characters on the side.

Yang Ning's ancient writing skills are actually not bad, but his ancient calligraphy skills are very shallow. However, Yang Ning can barely recognize these four capitalized ancient characters.

Liuhe magic power!

Yang Ning was startled for a moment, the name was very popular, and then he realized that this scroll was probably a martial arts secret book, but it was not surprising that Mu Lao had a martial arts secret book on him.

Yang Ning really didn't recognize many of the densely packed small characters on the side. He could barely recognize "Liuhe, up and down, four directions, heaven, earth and universe", "Gathering Liuhe, piles of sand", etc., but couldn't recognize most of them.

Yang Ning received special training in his previous life, and had strict training on the human skeletal meridians, so when he saw the dense meridian lines of the human body, he really felt a sense of intimacy.

The red line in the first picture starts from the five fingers of the left hand. The five red lines from the fingertips spread to a meridian at the wrist. The five lines merge into one, extending from the arm meridian upward to the left armpit, and then across to the chest. The red line on an acupuncture point in the middle of the chest stopped immediately.

Yang Ning recognized at a glance that the acupuncture point that finally reached the chest was the most critical Tanzhong point in the human body.

From the five fingers of the left hand to the Tanzhong point on the chest, it does not seem to be very winding, but it passes through more than ten acupoints on the way. Each time it passes through an acupuncture point, the acupoint will be slightly thicker, which is obviously easy to distinguish.

In fact, there are thirty or forty acupuncture points all over this road, but only a dozen acupuncture points are connected by red lines. Yang Ning is very familiar with these a dozen acupoints, but for a while, he can't see that this picture is marked. What exactly is it used for.

He simply unfolded the scroll completely and spread it flat on the ground. In fact, the scroll was not long. There were eleven pictures in sequence from right to left.

The person who painted the picture is obviously a master of painting, and the human figure is very realistic. However, the movements of the human body in the eleven pictures are somewhat different. For example, in the first picture, the left arm is slightly raised, while the right arm is attached to the body. The second picture is just the opposite. This is also to highlight the key points. The red line in the first picture is above the left arm, so raising the left arm makes it more prominent.

Each picture had conspicuous red lines of meridians. Yang Ning took a cursory glance and found that although the starting point of each picture was different, the end point was leading to the Tanzhong point on the chest.

The starting points of the eleven pictures are respectively the left hand, the right hand, the two shoulders, the two feet, the two knees, the lower abdomen below the navel, between the eyebrows, and the back. The back of the picture is facing away from the reader.

The meridians passed by the red lines in each picture are completely different, and the number of acupoints they pass through is also different. For example, the feet that are farthest apart extend from the feet to the Tanzhong point, passing dozens of acupoints on the way, and the distance from the Tanzhong point is There are only seven or eight acupuncture points on the shoulders closest to the acupoint.

Although the human figure is realistic and the acupuncture points are highlighted with black dots, the names of the acupuncture points are not marked on it. Those who do not understand the acupoints will naturally be confused.

However, Yang Ning also knows that since this "Liuhe Magic Skill" is a martial arts secret book, then the owners are naturally martial arts experts. Martial arts practitioners naturally know the acupuncture points all over the body. Even if the name of the acupuncture points is not marked on the scroll, experts At a glance, you can see every acupuncture point that the red line in the picture passes through.
