Chapter 2: Martial Arts Origins, Survival

"Roar, roar!"

With the sound of roaring and splashing of the river, Shi Yinghu and the group of activated zombies hedged, collided, and fell to the ground.

“...... Source Energy Collected5. ”

“...... Source Energy Collected7. ”

“...... Source Energy 14 collected. ”

“...... Source Energy 18 collected. ”

He was not unlucky enough to encounter some living corpse bosses, and how could a group of first-order living corpses acting purely on instinct be the opponents of Shi Yinghu, who was already hungry.

The small stone sharpening knife conjured up many subtle tricks in Shi Yinghu's hands: throat, back of the neck, side of the neck, as long as the residual connection between the brain and the body was broken, the seemingly terrifying and tenacious living zombie would die in an instant.

The best thing is that they don't have any awareness of protecting their own vital points at all, for mutant beast hunters like Shi Yinghu, who are about to kill zombies, activated zombies can be said to be the easiest type of mutant beasts to kill.

Soon, more than a dozen activated zombies fell into the icy river.

Of course, killing mutant beasts at this moment and even the bit of source energy obtained were not the point at all, when Shi Yinghu knocked down the neck of the last activated zombie, he quickly walked to the living zombie with the package on his body.

After picking up the package and rummaging for a while, he actually found two boxes of canned food: one box of canned meat and the other box of sticky rice.

"Date of manufacture...... In 2048, can this still be eaten?" The two boxes of canned food have a shelf life of two years and one year respectively, but now either one has expired for a long time.

"I remember that as long as it was a sealed can, it could be eaten even now during World War II. ”

"In the absence of a choice, it is better to be poisoned than to starve to death, not to mention that I am not so easily poisoned. With a sigh of breath and a calm mind, Shi Yinghu found a relatively secluded and safe place around, opened two boxes of cans, and ate them all after confirming that there was no obvious deterioration.

The glutinous rice is a little sour, but the taste of canned meat is still normal, the amount of two canned food is relatively large, even with Shi Yinghu's appetite, after eating both boxes of canned food, I feel fuller, at least it relieves the painful burning feeling of the stomach.

He didn't know if the two boxes of expired cans were accidentally encountered by him, or if they were intentionally put in by the Hell Ghost Mansion...... The latter is not very likely.

The meaning of the trial of the Three Rivers Road is to let the new blood of the Demon Gate complete the renunciation of the holy wisdom, complete the process of abandoning all acquired morality and etiquette shackles spiritually, and incarnate into a human demon, and it is unreasonable to deliberately put food in to reduce the difficulty of the trial.

.........

It's surprising that it rains in this ghost place where you can't see the sky at all.

A storm that blew from nowhere rolled up the waters of the Santu River, and the wind slammed into the stones and poured red and black rain.

At this time, Shi Yinghu had just finished eating two cans, and when the rainstorm fell, he had to shrink into the stone wall to catch some rainwater with an empty canned food box, and endure the cold wind and cold rain constantly blowing on himself while swallowing in small gulps.

"When I listened to Mr. Wang talk about the origin of martial arts, I remember that he said that the most primitive meaning of martial arts is just a word: survival. ”

"Go deep into the wilderness and forests, walk in the snow-capped mountains and grasslands, trek in the desert Gobi, fight with tigers, leopards, wolves and bears, survive in the wind, snow and sandstorms, and go through countless days of loneliness and danger, in order to experience the unyielding heart of the ancients who stood on the world, fought bravely with birds and beasts, and competed with heaven and earth. ”

"When I listened to the class, I felt very proud, but when it really fell on me, I still wanted to go home and lie on my electric blanket and brush my phone. Curled up in the cracks of the stone, Shi Yinghu tried his best to run the health regimen true qi all over his limbs and hundreds of corpses to preserve energy and body temperature.

Over time, the torrential rains subsided.

According to the operating state of the true qi in the body, Shi Yinghu judged that the current time was about midnight, because the true qi of the health regimen during this time period tended to be lingering and did not spread vigorously, which was the body's memory accumulated over the years.

Shi Yinghu was half-asleep and half-awake, and was running the health regimen in a state of rest and recovery, but suddenly there was a ghostly ghost crying in his ears, and the dead souls of the people he valued most suddenly appeared in front of him, they were sometimes far and sometimes near, sometimes murmuring and sometimes roaring, letting themselves also die and accompany them.

If Shi Yinghu was completely awake at this moment, he could see that some kind of huge qi machine visible to the naked eye was swallowing and running, if the source energy that Shi Yinghu's health regimen could pull was a single digit, then the source energy of this huge qi machine was 100 million.

The terrifying amount of energy swallowed, shaking the earth, the entire three rivers are because of the traction change of the air engine, and the river is turbulent, slow, and stationary, many dead corpses in the river have not been transformed into living corpses, at this moment open their eyes, staring blankly at their palms, as if countless dead people are collectively resurrected.

They will even cry, scream, and curse, staring at their rotting bodies, unable to accept that they are dead...... Absurd and terrifying.

With the operation of the true qi of that powerful man, the boundary between life and death seemed to be forcibly broken with absolute strength in this area.

Shi Yinghu's Shenwu system was also stimulated by a certain influence, and the true qi of the health regimen that had been cultivated to the 89th level of the realm of entering the house no longer went through the twelve canons, but under the traction of the surrounding life and death qi, it began to impact the surrounding Qi Sutra and eight veins, and the three words of health regimen gradually faded on the Shenwu system panel, and a new set of qigong recipes was faintly about to surface: life and death formula.

However, at this time, Shi Yinghu suddenly woke up, he vomited a large mouthful of hot blood, and then sat cross-legged and condensed his mind, forcibly re-stabilizing the true qi of the health preservation trick qigong.

Originally, the 89-level health trick qigong was about to be transformed into a 117-level life and death recipe qigong, but at this moment, Shi Yinghu was forced to pull it back at the expense of internal injuries.

"Shenwu System Tips: Health Recipe Level 89 Ascending to the Indoor Realm, Internal Injury State, Reduced by Level 20. It is currently level 69, and the forced level reduction will recover as the internal injury recovers. ”

"Ahem...... This ghost place doesn't even let people sleep soundly?" "The health trick qigong is peaceful, and it is the most stable to go to the twelve canons, Shi Yinghu has cultivated it all the way to the present, and has never suffered internal injuries, and now not only has he suffered internal injuries, but he has almost lost his true qi and caused it to break his gong, if he didn't wake up in time, he would not know what he was transformed into if he had worked hard to cultivate his true qi.

However, what the frightened Shi Yinghu didn't know was that at this moment, there were countless human-like monsters in these three rivers that were experiencing and comprehending the changes in the qi of heaven and earth, including even mutant beasts.

From time to time, in the midst of the great changes in the qi machine, there are outstanding people who comprehend the clever internal strength and martial arts moves, and they often fall to the ground in ecstasy, shouting: "Emperor Immortal, Zephi eternity!"

The breathing and cultivation of the immortal Emperor of the Underworld made the influence of qi envelop the entire Hell Ghost Mansion, and the Taoist famous saying: "The teacher is natural." ”

For the demons of the Hell Ghost Mansion, the immortal Hades Emperor is heaven and earth, nature, those who go along with it prosper, and those who go against it die.

The next day, Shi Yinghu, who had not rested all night, held the stone knife and began to continue looking for a way out.

In any case, no matter how to deal with it, only those who find the hellish ghost mansion can be called how to deal with it.

Shi Yinghu's mood was also irritable and anxious, and he didn't know if it was because of yesterday's expired canned food, or because of the cold wind and cold rain, or because of last night's qi changes and his own internal injuries, all in all, Shi Yinghu found that he had a fever.

However, just wanting to drink a little more clean hot water is not a condition.

"Calm my mind, I don't have the conditions to drink hot water and heal now, so I can't let negative emotions consume too much energy. After walking for a morning, his stomach began to be hungry again, Shi Yinghu had a metal canned food box tied to his waist, and he held the stone knife tightly in his hand, and he had no martial arts but didn't know where his next meal was.

And all he can do at this moment is to stabilize his mind, run the health cultivation true qi, and conserve his physical strength, until, wait until the variables happen.

Variables happen quickly.

Shi Yinghu saw a woman when he was trekking through a hill, Shi Yinghu had seen many women in the previous days, but the difference in front of him was really different: she was undressed, literally, naked.

The woman's skin was smooth and fair, and she had no body hair except for her long gray-white hair, but what she was doing at the moment was enough to make ninety-nine percent of men unable to regenerate any thoughts other than fear.

Her feet were littered with corpses, cutting human corpses at this moment, blood spreading all over the ground and splashing onto her cheeks, while the woman took off the ointment of the corpse and threw it aside, accumulating in piles.

Shi Yinghu saw her, and at the same time she also saw Shi Yinghu, his eyes were looking at each other, black and white eyes full of vigorous vitality, and a pair of dead and dark gray eyes, Shi Yinghu had not lost his humanity, and the woman in front of him had completely turned into a human demon.

"If you want to stay here, I can pick up the meat here and eat it as you like. "Yan Huang dialect, with some local accents.

“...... What are you doing?"

"To make a fire, I want to drink a little hot water, eat a little cooked meat, and change something I can get by the way. ”

Slowly, Shi Yinghu understood what the other party meant, it is not easy to drink a little hot water and eat a little cooked meat in the Santu River, the poplars and ghosts here are all different species, and the yin and humidity are heavy and not easy to burn, so they need enough oil to support combustion, otherwise they can't be lit, and even if they are lit, they will be quickly extinguished.

The martial arts of this woman in front of her are very high, on the one hand, the corpse on the ground shows her combat strength, on the other hand, she has obviously been completed by the Santu River, and she has completely got rid of the shackles of acquired morality and etiquette.

If a master of the righteous path wants to cultivate an artistic conception, he needs to practice for many years, repeatedly temper his own mind and firm will, and finally form an extremely stable outlook on life, values, and worldview, and have his own unique understanding of the world.

The master of artistic conception, compared with the ordinary, is a giant in spiritual thought, an immortal, a demon god, a mortal ape and a horse, and his thoughts are changing rapidly, and it is difficult to be firm and stable in the end, and a master of artistic conception, the soul is like a fairy, Buddha, god and demon, stable and unmoving.

This kind of spiritual artistic conception is very terrifying whether it is used in cultivation or even in battle, and the characteristics of the artistic conception are not as clear and obvious as the characteristics of the innate and vajra realms, but in fact, it is the most difficult to cultivate, and it is also the most weird and terrifying after cultivation.

This is the righteous path artistic conception cultivation method, and the demonic path artistic conception cultivation method, directly through all kinds of cruel means to wear down human nature, killing, dissecting hearts, eating human flesh, drinking raw blood, training in this way, the evil demon Dao master, gloomy and secret, like a demon like a demon, just like the woman in front of him...... Or rather, monsters.

Shi Yinghu has only been in the Santu River for two days and feels that he is already gritting his teeth and carrying it, and the person in front of him doesn't know how long he has been in the Santu River, she is a woman, it is not easy to survive, I don't know how much cruelty she has to go through, in order to exercise a demon-like temperament like now: naked in front of the opposite sex, decomposing the corpse, and trading indifferently.

"I want that stone knife. After estimating, Shi Yinghu was a little uncertain whether he could beat the other party, but it was certain that even if he could win, it would never be easy.

With a roll of his eyes, Shi Yinghu saw that among the corpses handled by the woman, there was a thick-backed stone knife, which looked thick and handy.

Hearing this, the woman turned her head and looked Shi Yinghu up and down, and then said, "I want the tin on your waist." ”

"Change. "No nonsense, Shi Yinghu threw an iron canned food box over, in this ghost place, this iron canned food box is definitely a rare resource.

After receiving the tin can, the woman picked up the stone knife and threw it at Shi Yinghu, Shi Yinghu caught it sideways, feeling a heavy force and quite a good internal force, but he secretly lucked and danced a knife spin to catch it steadily.

In the afternoon of the same day, the woman put on her robe, and her fire was set up with human oil and twigs.

Because of the light of the fire, gradually there will be trialists in the vicinity who will be lured and gathered.

Except for Shi Yinghu, later people had to pay offerings to the gray-haired woman before they were allowed to roast or even eat meat. It's not that no one doesn't want to refuse, it's just that all those who refuse have their hearts pulled out by the gray-haired gray-eyed female demon.

The reason why Shi Yinghu was looked at differently was because he was the first to arrive here, and the gray-haired girl needed his presence to help gather people and prove to the others that this place was protected and relatively safe.

A small fire, several corpses, the gray-haired woman is like a landlord's wife selling the location around the fire and her own human flesh goods, but she is obviously a smart person, because when the person who comes really can't get anything, she will ask the other party to practice her own martial arts, so that she can stay if she is satisfied, and if she is not satisfied, she will be driven away or even killed.

Taking small sips of hot water with fishy smell and oil flowers, Shi Yinghu tried his best not to think about what kind of oil flowers this was, and at the same time felt the feeling of warm current entering his body and allowing him to recover a little bit.

"Brother, give me that bowl of yours, and I'll give you half of it. ”

At this time, a young man with dirty hair and hair came to Shi Yinghu's side, looked around, and then pulled open his clothes and signaled to Shi Yinghu.

Shi Yinghu had already grasped the handle of the stone knife at this time, and looked over vigilantly, only to see that the young man's clothes were filled with the corpse of a snake.

"You have the bowl, I have the meat, let's cook it and eat it." ”

"Why don't you look for me instead of this Lord?"

"I'm afraid that these animals around me will rob me, I have already paid protection money to the master, but the master alone may not be able to suppress them, plus you should be fine. This man was very careful, he waited for the people around him to eat enough meat before he came to find Shi Yinghu who was holding the stone knife.

Although a bite of snake is worth a lot of lives in the Santu River, it is not as attractive as it used to be for those who have adapted to eating human flesh and have eaten enough. But even so, this man still has to add double insurance.

"Medium, one and a half. ”

There was no seasoning, and the snake meat should have been roasted and eaten, but both Shi Yinghu and the young man chose to cook it, divided it into several pieces and cooked it in a tin canned food box, and then devoured it greedily.

Because of the young man's double insurance, although several people around him looked at him and swallowed his saliva and his eyes glowed green, no one came to snatch it.

The gray-haired woman needs to maintain the basic rules here for a short period of time, and Shi Yinghu is wearing a fairly clean power suit, and he has a thick-backed stone knife at hand, and he can maintain such a state of pulling wind in Santuhe and not die, which means that he has two brushes in his hand.

Maintain vigilance, meditate, and refine qi, Shi Yinghu's physique is excellent, and tonight's snake soup is supplemented, the symptoms of wind and cold caused by cold and internal injuries last night have gradually been suppressed, and at the same time, the health regimen of the twenty levels of strong pressure has been restored to level five, indicating that the internal injuries have been partially recovered.

However, as the bonfire gradually became smaller, Shi Yinghu estimated that it was almost midnight again, but unlike his own great enemy, Shi Yinghu found that the people around the fire were becoming more and more energetic, and their faces also showed a look of concentration.

At the same time, they faintly distanced themselves from each other.

"I understand, for me, the huge change in the qi machine of heaven and earth is a very fatal negative effect, but for them, it seems to be the existence of 'Emperor Flowing Pulp'. ”

Emperor Flowing Pulp "Zi Bu Silent" writes that every 60 years on July 15, the moonlight contains "Emperor Flowing Pulp". Ordinary animals eat it, they can open their spiritual intelligence, if the monsters eat it, then one night's cultivation is equivalent to absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon for decades.

With Shi Yinghu's thoughts, the breath of the giant like a flood of wilderness came faintly again, and the heaven and earth of the Santu River echoed and changed, just like Shi Yinghu encountered the Netherworld Mother-in-law for the first time, the void changed, and there were glamorous ghosts and beauties throwing Luo skirts and dances, and all kinds of changes were infinite.

Some people by the fire deliberately threw themselves into this dream, even if they were shocked to death by the sudden demon changes, but more people kept their sanity to resist and perceive the changes in the qi of the heavens and the earth.

Especially the gray-haired woman, who put on a dirty robe before, I am afraid that it is not that she suddenly recalls the etiquette of shame, but to prevent those who have fallen into the illusion from throwing themselves at her, although she kills it with her backhand, but it also interferes with her own understanding.

Shi Yinghu tried his best to retreat from others, the echoes and changes between heaven and earth would last for about an hour and two hours, and all kinds of illusions flew in his mind during this time, and they could not be used to cultivate internal strength, otherwise as long as it was not the internal strength of the Hell Ghost Mansion, even the internal strength such as health preservation recipes would go out of the way and hurt the internal organs.

Because of the experience of health preservation and internal strength, Shi Yinghu has always been cautious to resist the changes in the qi of this world.

What he didn't know was that this time the hedging of good and evil had made his basic internal strength a little better, but it was covered up by internal injuries and had not yet been reflected.

One of the nine giants of the Demon Gate, the cultivation of the Immortal Emperor of the Underworld may have reached the realm of a fourth-order life body that is almost a god and demon, and the changes in the qi of heaven and earth driven by his practice are a range of damage and a catastrophe for those with insufficient qualifications, but for martial artists with excellent qualifications, it is a volume of unfathomable martial arts cheats that are open in front of them, and it is difficult to ignore them at all, and it is difficult not to watch them.

Shi Yinghu tried his best to suppress the operation of the health regimen, but a stream of enlightenment rose from the bottom of his heart, as if a large amount of knowledge was inexplicably poured into his mind, Shi Yinghu knew very well that these were indeed knowledge, and the authenticity was undoubted, but all of them were dark knowledge of the Hell Ghost Mansion, if they were fully comprehended and contained in their own system.

The Pure Yang Sect's health preservation recipe qigong will be modified beyond recognition, and it will become a set of martial arts mental methods that are more and more close to the vein of hell and ghost mansions.

"Ah......h

The illusions were full of illusions, and he felt that he couldn't bear it anymore, Shi Yinghu slashed and slashed with both hands, so that a large number of illusions that were about to explode in his mind were killed by the tiger's sword intent.

Not to mention, this trick seems to be really working, the fifty-nine style five tiger broken door knife method has been cultivated to the 100-level peak realm, and at this moment, Shi Yinghu is controlling the sword intent to slash and kill, and the sense of erosion of spiritual consciousness has indeed been reduced.

However, the more he danced, the more he devoted, and the more he danced, the more attentive Shi Yinghu didn't notice that the Five Tigers Broken Door Knife Technique, which was originally vigorous and strong, and fit the essence of the righteous path of the knife technique, became more and more twisted and weird in his wild dance, and became more and more evil and extreme.

Shi Yinghu's basic internal skills are deep and pure, but in fact, his sword skills are truly brave and fierce, with the style of a grandmaster (third order).

The more highly qualified and profound the background, the easier it is to be eroded and transformed, and to gain comprehension in this anomaly, and then become an outstanding disciple of the Hell Ghost Mansion.
