The third volume of Kui Prefecture, Chapter 20: The Five Elements Wu Hook is like iron, curved knife like gold.

  "Elder, my junior sister and I are disciples of the Diancang Sect. We came here today at someone's request to deliver this letter to both of you!" Chunjiao thought for a moment, knowing that the Silver Spear Elder was an elder of the Demon Sect, so these two must also be members of the Demon Sect. He didn't want to stay here too long, so he took out the letter entrusted by the Silver Spear Elder and handed it over to the old man with the long beard. Then he continued: "My junior sister and I thank both elders for saving us. This great kindness, we will definitely repay in the future. However, as right and wrong are different, my junior sister and I would like to take our leave now."

  Lin Meng'er didn't know what Chu Jiu was thinking, and smiled beside him: "Shixiong, that pair of silver guns, I gave them to Dama and Daobo last night! Your injuries haven't healed yet, so it's no big deal if we stay a few more days!"

  The couple had learned from Lin Meng'er the previous night and yesterday about what happened at Bai Di Temple the day before. Seeing that Chu Jiu was delivering a letter, they hastily took over the letter. The two of them opened the letter, scanned it briefly, and thought that there were only a few words in the letter. However, after reading it, the couple remained silent for a long time.

  Lin Meng'er was curious in her heart, but she also knew it was important, so she didn't ask more.

  Now that the ninth initial has been mentioned, "the distinction between orthodoxy and heterodoxy", the old woman sighed with a smile, saying: "The old lady thinks that it is difficult for the young hero to leave the mundane path, whether it is an orthodox school or a heretical sect, alas!" After finishing speaking, she sighed again, showing genuine worry and admiration.

  The old man with a long beard also remained silent for a long time before saying, "Chu Jiu Xiaoxia, Ming Er Niangzi, do you two know the names of my wife and me?"

  On the ninth day, he and his sister-in-law exchanged a glance, both shaking their heads.

  That old man with a long beard laughed and said: "You young people have never heard of it, my husband and I, our names have been forgotten for a long time. In the Jianghu, those who know us call me Iron Wu Hook and my wife Golden Curved Knife!"

  Chu Jiu and Lin Ming'er listened, still shaking their heads in confusion. They had never heard of it before, but if someone over 40 years old in the jianghu had heard what the old man just said, they would probably be shocked and frightened!

  "Wu Hook is like iron, blood is seen in the hands, curved knife like gold, shocking and frightening!" These two people are actually Wu Hook and Curved Knife Lady, who were among the top ten elders of the Devil Sect that year, along with "Bloody Silver Gun, roaming the Yangtze River" Silver Gun Elder Huang Zhiji!

  Old Wu Hook saw that Chu Jiu and Lin Ming'er were not speaking, and exchanged a glance with his wife. Both of them felt a hint of desolation in their hearts. This young man possessed such martial arts skills, yet he seemed to know nothing about the Jianghu!

  Lady Wan Dao also sighed, she and her husband had been out of Jianghu for eighteen years, it seemed they were going to be forgotten by Jianghu!

  The night before, Lin Meng'er's mind was in great turmoil. Although she mentioned the battle with Yin Gun Lao on the banks of the Yangtze River, she didn't reveal many other experiences. They didn't know that it had only been a few dozen days since they entered Jianghu, and both of them had spent over a decade on Diancang Mountain.

  "On the ninth day, little brother, you and Miss Meng are thinking of leaving, we won't stop you. However, tomorrow at dawn, my husband and I will also leave for Mount Emei in Shu. It's been over a decade since we've had any visitors, now that I see your master and sister are extraordinary people, if we can leave together, it would be nice to have someone to talk to on the road, alleviate boredom, and make the journey more enjoyable."

  Lin Meng'er originally didn't like being lonely, and now that Mrs. Wan Dao had spoken, she said to Chu Jiu: "Big Brother Master, I know Father, Big Brother Master and the others are also going to Emei, so tomorrow we'll set out for Shu with Old Man Chang Xu and his wife! After arriving at Emei, we can reunite with Father and Big Brother Master."

  At the beginning of the ninth day, he had heard from his master and fellow disciples that the people in the demonic sect were treacherous and cruel, and that orthodox disciples should not associate with them. However, since Lin Biyun also said so, he cherished his sisterly affection for her and could only say "Ah" and continue, "To be able to receive an invitation from both seniors to go to Mount Emei in Shu together is truly a blessing for my two junior siblings. I can only respectfully obey!"

  He just operated his inner strength, and unexpectedly the Ren and Du meridians were unobstructed, he was overjoyed in his heart. You should know how important the Ren and Du meridians are for martial artists. Once both are opened up, the circulation of inner strength can be repeated indefinitely, never exhausting!

  At the time on Mount Diancang, I heard Master Bo say that to open up the Ren and Du meridians relying on one's own cultivation, at least twenty years of inner power are needed! And if it is not opened by oneself, but rather with the assistance of others, even with the help of a high-level master, it still requires a rare combination of opportunities.

  At the beginning of the ninth day, the internal injury was severe, and the palm force was thick and chaotic. It was already a mess that would shock Renmai. When Mrs. Wan Dao and Wu Gou Long Lao treated his injuries, it took several hours to completely remove the "Red Practice Palm" venom from Chujiu's body. If they didn't clear Chujiu's Renmai, everything would be in vain. Even if this young man recovered from his injuries, his Renmai would still be blocked, and his martial arts skills, especially his internal strength, would never improve. Once the opportunity of the previous day was missed, Renmai would become even more chaotic after it healed on its own, and it would never be possible to clear it again!

  Husband and wife worked together, sparing no effort for ten years, separately pouring their inner energy into the Ren Du Mai and "Hand Taiyin Lung Meridian", and after a whole night of Qigong therapy, they finally healed the internal injury of the first nine, and opened up the Ren Du Mai!

  And on the ninth day, he recovered in just one day and two nights, and got out of bed the next day. This was also related to his youth and lack of chronic illness, as well as the "Shooting Heaven Heart Method" that had been practiced for over a decade, which unknowingly operated in secret during his coma, accelerating his healing speed several times faster than normal!

  He thought of this, and then bowed his head and waist again: "The younger generation still has to thank the two seniors for helping me to open up my meridians. The two seniors have great kindness and virtue, I will remember it in my heart and never forget it!" He also heard Master Bo mention that when helping others to open up their Ren and Du meridians, the person who performs the technique will also suffer a great loss of internal energy, wasting several years!

  Wu Gou laughed and stroked his long beard, saying: "Younger brother on the ninth day of the new year, you have indeed reached a high level in your martial arts training, with all your meridians flowing smoothly! Not bad, your Ren Mai has opened up, and the midnight efforts of this old couple were not in vain!"

  Lin Meng'er also heard about the Ren and Du meridians on Mount Cangyan. Now, hearing that the Ren meridian had been opened on the ninth day of the month, she couldn't help but feel delighted: "No wonder yesterday at dawn, Wu Hookong and Big Aunt were both extremely exhausted, it turns out they didn't hesitate to use their own inner energy to open up the Ren meridian for my Shixiong!"

  She also bowed and asked: "I heard the master of our sect say that once the Ren and Du meridians are opened, one's internal energy will greatly increase. Wu Hook, is that true?"

  Madam Wan Dao had always been extremely fond of Lin Ming'er, and seemed reluctant to refuse her questions. She hastily said: "Miss Ming'er's words are correct, the Ren and Du meridians are both unobstructed, although it can't be said that one is invincible in the world, however, naturally one's internal energy will circulate without stopping, circulating and then starting again, never exhausting!"

  She paused for a moment, then continued: "But to open up that Du Meridian is ten times more difficult than opening up the Ren Meridian!"

  Lin Meng'er didn't understand and asked: "Auntie, what's going on now?"

  "Ah, the Qi of the Governor Vessel rises from the Dan Tian, at least the Yin and Yang Wei vessels merge, which is even more important. Moreover, one needs to cultivate the Xuan Men Zhong Xin Fa to break through. Once my kind of Saintly Teachings' internal power enters someone like your Shixiong's Dan Tian, I'm afraid it will immediately cause a clash between Dragon and Tiger, Yin and Yang intersecting, leading to sudden death!"
