Chapter 233: Wanting for a long life

When we parted in Gubeikou, Zhou Tong once explained his place in Tokyo.

Although Hu Ye and Zhou Tong met only once, they were very excited. Since they came to Tokyo, they came directly to Zhou Tong's residence.

When he arrived at the door of a small courtyard on East Street, Hu Ye didn't come forward to knock on the door, but used the method of "Thousand Miles of Meaning" to say loudly: "Mr. Zhou, I, Hu Ye, come to visit."

He was whispering opposite someone, but his voice penetrated the door and entered the room again, clearly reaching the ears of the two people inside.

At this moment, Zhou Tong was talking to a guest indoors. He suddenly heard this sentence and showed joy on his face. He first said to the guest: "Mr. Yanshan is here just the right time today. The one outside is the gourd Taoist I mentioned."

The man was a middle-aged man of 40s with a face as good as jade, three long beards floating on his chest, and his demeanor was transcendent and elegant.

After hearing Zhou Tong say this, he also looked curious on his face and bowed: "Listen to what Mr. Dong said, this Taoist Master Hu Ye actually has the means to compete with Tongxuan Tianren. Although it is just a blow, it is enough to shock the world. It is a blessing to be able to be with this master for a while."

While they were talking, the two had already stood up and greeted each other.

Seeing that there were two people coming out of the Yumen, Hu Ye was not surprised at all, but just stepped forward to greet Zhou Tong for the first time.

Zhou Tong first returned the gift and then introduced the man to Hu Ye.

This man's surname is Huang and his name is Shang, and his pseudonym is Yanshan. He was formerly the governor of Fuzhou. Because of his contribution to proofreading the "Wanshou Daozang", he is now waiting for the imperial court to reward him in the capital.

Hu Ye knew that he was in front of him a great master with a cultivation level of not inferior to Zhou Tong, but he did not expect that he would have learned the mysterious martial arts from the "Wanshou Daozang" and finally created the "Nine Yin Scriptures" as the masterpiece of martial arts.

However, he studied the "Nine Yin True Sutra" hidden in the "Sword of the Heavenly Sword" in his previous life. Although he knew that the two worlds in his past life should be located in the present life, the "Nine Yin True Sutra" in that world should be different from the "Nine Yin True Sutra" that has not yet been born in this world, but there are some wonderful causal connections between them.

While these thoughts flashed through his mind, he had already greeted Huang Shang with a smile, and then called Murong Yan forward to pay homage to Zhou Tong and Huang Shang.

After their greetings were over, Zhou Tong invited Master Hu Da’s apprentice to his home.

The three of them took the seats separately, and Murong Yan, as a junior, could only stand behind Hu Da.

Zhou Tong first asked about the situation after Hu Ye's separation.

Hu Ye briefly talked about his experiences along the way, but only found the three volumes of heavenly books and the arrangements for Qiu Wu.

When Zhou Tong heard that he was instructing his disciple Lu Junyi to go to the battlefield to experience it, he nodded constantly and said, "I am a disciple with unique roots and understanding. He was born in a wealthy family and never experienced any setbacks since childhood, so he lacked some life experience. The Taoist priest asked him to go to the battlefield to experience it and understand martial arts between life and death. It is indeed an excellent way."

Hu Ye smiled and said, "Mr. Don't blame me for interfering in the business."

Zhou Tong laughed loudly and then took the initiative to talk about his experience.

After he arrived in the capital, he had already told several court officials with good relations about his observations from visiting the Liao Kingdom.

Those people seemed to have some interest in the Jurchens who had shown unwillingness to be trapped in the Liao Kingdom, and planned to send people across the sea to Liaodong for a more detailed understanding.

These military and national plans are naturally not the turn of Zhou Tong, a martial artist who had no position or power, and could only retire and wait for further news at his residence to see if the court still uses his old soldier.

Huang Shang happened to escort the proofread "Wanshou Daozang" into Beijing. He heard that Zhou Tong was in Tokyo, so he visited him today.

The two met in their early years. Huang Shang admired Taoist methods of self-cultivation and nature, and asked Zhou Tong some tips for guiding Qi training.

Now that we have met again after several years, Zhou Tong was really shocked by this old friend.

But for several years, Huang Shang, who had no knowledge of martial arts, turned into a master with a profound martial arts. His cultivation was pure and profound, and he was no less than himself who had been practicing martial arts for decades since childhood.

Zhou Tong asked carefully, but Huang Shang did not hide it.

It turns out that the emperors today advocate Taoism and admire immortality. Therefore, they issued two edicts to search for Taoist books over several years and compiled them into a "Wanshou Daozang".

Because Huang Shang was famous for his talent, the emperor issued an order to be responsible for collation and to use craftsmen to print the woodblocks.

Huang Shang knew that the emperor valued this matter very much. As long as he had a slight omission, the sealed Taoist contained a single word and a word that was wrong, and he might be killed. So he spent several years of time proofreading word by word, and trying to make every word good.

After reading this hard for a few years, he naturally became proficient in Taoism. Combined with some of the basic techniques of qi guidance taught by Zhou Tong, he realized the best martial arts principles, and learned from his own knowledge without a teacher to master the profound internal and external skills, becoming a master of martial arts.

This time Huang Shang came to visit Zhou Tong, but wanted to ask this martial arts master who had been famous for many years to help him see if there was anything wrong with the martial arts he had practiced in a daze.

Although he had already understood this story, when he saw a living Huang Shang with his own eyes, Hu Ye couldn't help but sigh that God always loves certain people in a biased manner, such as Wang Shouren in the Ming Dynasty and Huang Shang in front of him.

Huang Shang was a literary scholar. Although he had mastered a peerless martial arts, he really didn't take it seriously.

When he was asking Zhou Tong, he had no reservations about what he had learned. At this moment, in front of Hu Ye, he still had no taboos and calmly told his various experiences and confusions in martial arts.

After hearing a few words, Hu Ye felt that the key points of martial arts he mentioned were indeed in line with the "Nine Yin Scriptures" he knew, but the realm was faintly higher, but it was a little scattered and not yet fully formed.

Neither Zhou Tong takes advantage of others for nothing, because they both gained a lot of benefits from Huang Shang's martial arts experience, so they tried their best to answer his questions.

The three of them have similar cultivation levels, but Hu Ye has accumulated over the years, has a deep foundation and broad knowledge, and is far beyond Zhou Tong and Huang Shang's reach. Therefore, the most things they give back to Huang Shang are.

In this exchange between the three great masters, the one who gained the most was not each other, but Murong Yan, who was listening to the whole process.

Although she was standing behind Hu Da, she was already immersed in the martial arts principles that the three of them said casually.

With her current level of cultivation, what she can understand is nothing but a drop in it. But these things will naturally turn into endless springs in the future, nourishing her seedlings to grow until they are towering.

Just as the three of them were talking into the alley, one of them was so sensible that another voice suddenly came from outside: "Lu Qian, the prince of the Little Prince's Mansion, please see Mr. Zhou!"

Zhou Tong was stunned when he heard this, turned to Huang Shang and asked, "I remember that Lu Qian was originally a bad disciple Lin Chong's childhood friend. Later, he recommended him to be a guardian next to Mr. Yanshan. When did he become the guard of the Taiwei Mansion again?"
