The Legend of Zhu San
189: About the Roots of the Spirit
In a small hut, where Monk Thio San used to meditate, Zhu San and Bian Chi were seated opposite the monk leader of the God Bell Temple Sect.
“Good if Brother Fu Kuan is fine, I'm glad to hear it.” The figure of Monk Thio San smiled after hearing Zhu San's reply, when the monk was a hundred years old and older, asking news of Fu Kuan.
He immediately read a letter from Fu Kuan that Zhu San had just handed over to him. His forehead shriveled, then looked at Zhu San and Bian Chi for a moment before continuing to read the letter.
He smiled broadly after he finished reading the letter Fu Kuan sent. His face looked joyful as he looked back at Zhu San and Bian Chi.
“Siba's Tinten Steps, I'll test them according to the request of your teacher with my Thousand Hands. But can I check your wrists first?” Ask Monk Thio San.
Although his mind was filled with questions, Zhu San extended his right hand. Monk Thio San's eyes closed while holding Zhu San's wrist.
Moments later Monk Thio San released Zhu San's hand and then he changed it with Bian Chi's right hand.
The face of the Number One Champ Monk of the Qing Empire's White Stream, smiled faintly upon realizing that something was still clogging up one nerve point in the bodies of the two.
“Your inner strength is immense and powerful, yet you seem to be unaware, if one of your nerve points is blocked and blocks three to forty percent of your actual strength.”
Zhu San and Bian Chi showed surprised faces. Both of them felt that there was nothing wrong with the nerves in their bodies. Then Zhu San asked the Sepuh Monk.
“Is this caused from outside the body or from inside the body of Elder Thio?” Zhu San asked with a face of astonishment.
“That's because something comes from inside your own body. Have you ever meditated for a very long time?” Ask Monk Thio San.
Zhu San confirmed it, then recounted what the two of them had done during the eight months in the Soul Realm while absorbing the energy of the Five Pure Elemental Essences based on the instructions from the Element Book.
“If so true my guess. It is only fitting that you two have Spirit Roots at this young age. You are truly the chosen people of the heavens. I'm grateful to be able to meet and help you both.”
“Royal Spirit? What is EldersThio?” Zhu San asked in astonishment. Monk Thio San smiled then explained what the Root of the Spirit was about.
The root of the Spirit is something that resides in the body to distinguish between the mortal and the eternal. Something that can be formed by decades of hard training with special methods.
By having Spirit Root, one can live much longer than the average human lifespan in general. It can even reach the age of hundreds of years and look young.
Someone who has the Root of Spirit, can form an almighty energy called crystal-shaped qi. This qi energy, was much purer than the inner power energy.
Having absorbed the Energy of the Five Elemental Essences, without Zhu San and Bian Chi noticing, within their bodies both formed spirit roots. So that now both can form the energy of the qi.
“Thio Plates, how great is qi energy?” Zhu San asked curiously.
Monk Thio San smiled, then he flicked his palm towards a cliff, which was not far from his cottage.
WUUSH BLAAR
A thunderous sound rang out as invisible energy, hitting the cliff very strongly. The cliff was destroyed and the landslide made a gaping hole wide.
“Thio Plates .. You already have that qi energy right?” Zhu San asked curiously.
“True, it was after I trained for over thirty years to form the Spirit Root in my body and form about fifty qi Crystals over the past thirty years.”
“What!? It took that long?” The faces of Zhu San and Bian Chi looked lethargic after the two heard the description of Monk Thio San.
“But for both of you, I think it will be different. It's because of the specialness of the body you have. And also you have had Spirit Roots formed while absorbing the energy of the Five Elemental Essences.” Answer Monk Thio San.
The faces of Zhu San and Bian Chi again brightened when they heard those words, both of them immediately prostrated themselves from their seats.
“Seal Thio San, please instructions and guidance from elders. So that We can become even stronger to protect the world from the cruelty of the Goddess of Death.” Zhu San said in his bow.
Monk Thio San was silent for a moment while stroking his long white beard. He styled Zhu San and Bian Chi who had risen from their prostrations.
“You both have a noble purpose, there is no reason for me to refuse what you ask for. But I'm sorry I couldn't make you two my students. I'll just give you the guidance and guidance you need.”
The Monk's words greeted Zhu San and Bian Chi with a wide smile. They were very grateful for the Monk's willingness.
Monk Thio San then explained that because the day will soon be night, he will begin to give the clue the next day.
But before that, Monk Thio San asked Bian Chi to stay away from the place and head to a fairly large cottage that is separated and above a cliff.
The lodge was a place reserved for every guest of the God Bell Temple Sect to spend the night. After explaining what his purpose was to ask Bian Chi, Zhu San's wife stepped into the cottage.
“San’er .. something that clogs your nerve points is the energy created from the life desires that arise when you absorb the Five Elements Core Energy. A desire that you endure and do not let go of for a long time. Stand up! I'll open that nerve point and learn how you can apply it to your wife.”
Zhu San and Monk Thio San then stood up, Monk Thio San explained to Zhu San while demonstrating it.
The tip of the forefinger of the Sepuh Monk, was seen emitting a fairly bright white light. Then he took two spots at the bottom of Zhu San's navel quickly.
Zhu San's body instantly trembled, sweat spilling out from the pores in his body, as the energy from the affected part flowed toward his entire body.
Zhu San's eyes glared at his two palms that felt filled with pure energy. Zhu San bowed in gratitude to the Sepuh Monk.
As the day was getting dark, Monk Thio San pamit and invited Zhu San to rest to the resting place that had been provided.
After the body of Monk Thio San disappeared behind a building, Zhu San then darted to the cottage that was located separately. He explained everything and was answered with consecutive questions from his wife.
“Is that so?” Bian Chi asked with a suspicious look. “If I am desirous how? Can you refuse it?” Bian Chi asked curiously.
“If you desire, where can I refuse it while I want you always desire every day. Hahahaha.” Zhu San replied while avoiding his wife's pinch.
