With a wave of his arm, the wild donkey elder instantly drew a circle and a half-finger-deep furrow on the ground outside, and then waved his hands, and countless dust gathered in the middle of the circle, forming a large mound. The old farmer snapped his fingers towards the woods, and a thick branch snapped off by itself, flew up several times, and stuck it on the mound.

The atmosphere was a little tense, Wu Ma Xin looked around, the audience was extremely quiet, only the sound of the wind blowing the corners of his clothes.

The tiger-skinned demon monk shouted, "Begin!"

Everyone held their breath and gathered around the mound in groups of five, each taking turns digging the mound.

After watching a few rounds, Wu Ma couldn't help frowning, thinking it was a martial arts competition, isn't this a "urine kang" game. When he was a child, he often played with a few other brothers, who dug down the middle branch and lost, so he was careful every time, for fear of moving too much soil, often when it was his turn to dig, the branch had been out of the mound, and if he touched it again, he would fall, and he could only move the floating soil around cautiously, and the atmosphere did not dare to come out.

They are really a group of old naughty boys, originally with their ability, it is naturally easy, but they can only dig by hand, and they are not allowed to use internal force, which is not easy. The winning rules are also reversed, whichever group digs down the branch wins, so they are very cautious every time it is their turn, but they are afraid that they will miss the blow and leave a chance for others.

"Two seniors," Wu Ma Xin asked the Gao brothers, "I don't know what day it is?"

"April 20. Gao Potian replied casually, but his eyes never left the "battlefield", for fear of accidentally missing the wonderful game.

"April 20, wasn't yesterday twenty?" Wu Ma was a little confused.

"Yes, yesterday was twenty, and today is twenty, don't interrupt, concentrate on watching the game, look, how intense. Gao Guotian didn't look back, and said a little impatiently.

They watched so carefully that they could see that there was really no entertainment here.

With the shout of the tiger-skinned demon monk, the winner has been decided, and the five people of the river monster, the old farmer who chops wood, the wild donkey elder, the golden bone fairy, and the fire monster have won, looking up and laughing. The others complained to each other angrily: "I shouldn't have been with you, I used too much force, if it weren't for you, how could their useless monsters win." ”

The river monster and the other five people didn't listen to them, and directly pulled Wu Ma Xin to the back mountain and surrounded them.

"You're ours now, if you have any questions, start practicing. Elder Wild Donkey may have won the game, so his tone was not so stiff.

"Seniors," Wu Ma saluted with his fists in his heart, "Thank you seniors for not thinking me is stupid, but I have already agreed with someone on the fifth day of the next month, and I am afraid that the time is too short to grasp the essentials." ”

"If we can't delay you, we'll point you out, it won't take that long. The river monster laughed too.

Wu Ma Xin was stunned and said: "Seniors are not making fun of you, there are only fifteen days from the twentieth to the fifth day of the first month, I ask myself that I can't have this ability, and I can master the skills of my predecessors in such a short time." ”

"Fifteen days, you're still too short, you want to exhaust a few of us old things. "Elder Wild Donkey took the lead.

Wu Ma Xin had a black line on his face, could it be that he was a martial arts wizard, or did these old monsters have any magic medicine to improve their skills?

The Golden Bone Immortal seemed to understand Wu Ma's concern, and laughed and said, "You old guys, you must be old and confused, how can he know the mystery of the Empty Mountain Enchantment. ”

The river monster immediately reacted and laughed, but Wu Ma Xin and the others still had inexplicable expressions.

The Golden Bone Immortal said: "In the enchantment, twenty-four sunrises and sunsets are only equivalent to one day outside, so there is still time. Moreover, outsiders can only stay in the empty mountain for a maximum of fifteen days, and after three hundred and sixty sunsets, they must leave this place and return to the market. ”

No wonder it feels like a few days have passed, and the day has always been April 20th.

"We can train as we please, and how much we can learn depends on your creation. The river monster said.

"Thank you, seniors. Wu Ma Xin then understood, and hurriedly thanked him.

The incense that had been lit before had burned out, and the Golden Bone Fairy suddenly put away his playful expression and began to lecture majestically, and several other old people also cleaned up their faces and became serious.

"The sun descends from the sky, the earth produces yin, and the two qi of yin and yang combine to give birth to the five elements, which constitute all things in the world. Regardless of the heavenly and terrestrial branches, or the four seasons and five directions, they are all composed of five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Each element has different properties, wood has the nature of generation and development, fire has the nature of heat and upwardness, earth has the nature of peace and solidity, gold has the nature of killing and astringent, and water has the nature of coldness and solidity. These five elements exist in three states: air, flow, and condensation, and in common sense, water exists in a fluid state, and the other four exist in a condensate state, in fact, all states exist and can be converted into each other. The condensation of gold is Ge, the condensation of water is ice, the condensation of fire is rock, the condensation of wood is a vessel, the condensation of earth is stone, the condensation of gold is molten, the flow of water is river, the flow of fire is pulp, the flow of wood is juice, the flow of earth is mud, the gas of gold is light, the gas of water is fog, the gas of fire is heat, the gas of wood is ash, and the gas of earth is dust. Therefore, the five elements exist between every breath we take, and under every touch, the five internal organs need the warmth of these five elements, and they need to maintain balance. The five elements are born of the two qi of yin and yang, so they need to be manipulated by these two qi, the yin qi is the main plunder, and the yang qi is mainly instilled. For example, the water element, if it is lacking, it will be dry, and if it is excessive, it will drown, so you can manipulate the water in the enemy's body, or seize it to make it missing, or give it too much, you can control the enemy, which is the highest ability. ”

The Golden Bone Immortal let out a breath and continued: "When manipulating these elements for my use, in addition to considering their attributes and states, I must also think of the number of sheng grams and the rules of natural growth and decline, so that I can make the most of my strengths and avoid weaknesses and exert my greatest power. The five elements have the way of mutual growth, wood dry warms fire, fire burns wood produces soil, soil deposits and minerals produce gold, gold sells melt water, and water moistens and grows wood. There is also the principle of mutual restraint, just win the soft old gold and wood, the special victory of the scattered old wood and the soil, the real victory over the virtual land and the water, the victory of the many and the widow so the water and the fire, and the fine victory over the strong and the fire and gold. Mutual restraint maintains a delicate balance between the elements, and everything is out of the ordinary. People exist in the world, the Tao is natural, so each element is also affected by the elimination of the other in nature, producing five kinds of fortunes: prosperity, phase, rest, imprisonment, and death, alternating rise and fall, repeating cycles, different seasons, only one element reaches the most prosperous. Our most common four seasons, spring is the death of the wood and the fire phase of the water and the gold of the earth, the summer is the death of the fire and the water of the water and the water of the earth, the autumn is the death of the fire and the death of the wood of the water phase, and the winter is the death of the water and the wood of the water and the wood is the death of the fire. The same exercise, for different purposes, facing different opponents, living in different seasonal environments, the effect of using the same exercise is not the same. ”

The river monster took a step forward and slapped Wu Ma Xin's head: "You listen to me well, don't sleep!"

"Oooh. Wu Ma rubbed his head, quickly cheered up, and muttered: "What's mysterious, it's nothing more than to use it because of the need to use it." ”

"Yes, I can't see it, you kid still has some insight. "The Golden Bone Immortal was happy, and indeed few people could understand the essence of the Five Elements in an instant.

Golden Bone Immortal said: "This cheatbook, the first half focuses on manipulating the five elements, and the second half focuses on practicing yin and yang. ”

"This book is what Guru has learned all his life, and it takes thirty years for even the most qualified people to learn it. Later, this book was passed on to the non-receptive, that is, what blood king, although there was no one to guide but the understanding was extremely high, but only learned about sixty percent. It's a blessing for you to be lucky enough to meet our old monsters, or if you can help you reach the top. The river monster said solemnly.

Wu Ma couldn't help but be overjoyed, and thanked him again.

"I probed in your body just now, the momentum is too weak, and you need to cultivate luck and gather strength to be able to do whatever you want and release it freely. From today onwards, you need to meditate and practice according to the secret book exercises every day, and you will naturally be able to improve day by day. Among the seven spirits, three or four spirits are the main attack, and luck gathering is the third spirit and the fourth spirit that strengthen you. The Golden Bone Fairy flicked his fingers, and an extra black iron ball appeared in his hand, which ejected out, and smashed the stones in the distance with a "boom", and continued, "Manipulating the five elements, there are two kinds of Bo and specialized. Bo is controlled by all five kinds, but after all, manpower is limited, and the ability to manipulate the five kinds at the same time will inevitably be greatly reduced; and if you specialize, that is, if you only practice one of them, you can achieve great success, but the exercises are limited and you can't do what you want. Which one do you want to learn?"

"The younger generation is not talented, but advocating doing whatever they want, willing to take advantage of the Bo and abandon the specialty, and hope that the seniors will be perfect. Wu Ma Xin bowed deeply.

"Okay, then the five of us will teach together, you need to practice at the same time, don't be lazy, start now. The Golden Bone Fairy said, and then took a pillar of incense and stood on the ground, and the fire monster set it on fire.

Elder Wild Donkey took the lead and said: "Concentrate your energy, empty your body, scatter your seven spirits, and control them with your mind." The fifth central spirit is the main direction, the sixth spirit is the main yin, and the seventh heroic spirit is the main yang, and these three spirits are the key to controlling the five elements. The central spirit is easy to live in the center, and the spirit and the heroic spirit are evenly matched, which is the image of Tai Chi, which can control the elements of the earth. You are an earth dog, this exercise is relatively the easiest, you go to cultivate, you can come to me when you turn over the stones and move the soil. With that, he turned and walked away.

"Wood was born in the beginning, the central spirit dwells in the east, so that the heroic spirit is prosperous and suppresses the spirit, the yin and yang are long, and the element of wood can be controlled. The old farmer who chopped firewood said that, and also turned to leave.

"Fire was born in the beginning, the central spirit dwells in the south, devours the essence with heroism, in the form of the sun limit, can control the element of fire, you go to cultivate, you can move the fire and burn the materials to come to me again. The fire monster didn't stop there.

"Jin was born in Taisu, the central spirit lives in the west, so that the spirit is prosperous and suppresses the heroic, the yang and yin are long, and the element of gold can be controlled. The Golden Bone Immortal said, but did not leave, just stood aside.

"Water is born in Taiyi, the central spirit dwells in the north, devours the heroic spirit with its spirit, it is in the form of the limit of Taiyin, you can control the element of water, you can cultivate by yourself, and you can come to me again when you gather water into dew. The river monster said, pulled up the golden bone fairy who wanted to stop talking, and left together.

Another stick of incense had just burned out, but only Wu Ma Xin was left, standing sluggishly.

"I said, old river monster, don't give me any more pointers, can he understand?" asked the Golden Bone Fairy in the distance with some concern.

The river monster laughed and said, "You also underestimate the people of the Wuma family, he will definitely be able to master it in less than seventy-two sunsets." ”
