Chapter 35 Crossing the River
After the lively dinner, Xing Lu walked into the tent where she and Chu Xiran were resting.
After washing, she sat on the paved floor and took out the cultivation mantra that Chu Xiran gave her during the day.
Close your eyes and sit with your heart closed, hold your hands and meditate on God.
Thirty-six buckle teeth, holding Kunlun with both hands.
The drums of the sky are sounded left and right, and the twenty-four degrees are heard.
…………
The more I look at it, the more familiar I feel, isn't this "The General Recipe of the Twelve Duanjin"? When she was in the orphanage, in order to treat her rheumatism, Qin's mother heard that practicing this worked, but she didn't understand the ancient text, so she specially asked Xing Lu (Cong Lu) to help her translate it into the vernacular.
Yes, this world was originally made up by the author of that book himself, and the cultivation mantra must have been extracted by the author from the world in which he lived.
In Xing Lu's original world, "Twelve Duanjin" has become one of the means for some middle-aged and elderly patients with chronic diseases to achieve the goal of strengthening their bodies.
And in the world of this book, it has been touted to such a high level, and what is even more amazing is that it really has a great effect on the improvement of ability! Isn't it because of this mantra that the people of the Chu family can make rapid progress!
I wonder if the "Exquisite Mind Method" that I have cultivated is a mantra that people in another world only use to strengthen their bodies? But does the world in which I was originally live really exist, or is it also made up by someone to make people look at it?
"How's that, Sister Lulu is hard to understand? When I first learned the formula, I almost fell asleep. ”
"No, these words are still very clear!"
"Really? I don't believe it, you explain it to me. ”
"Well, listen up, sit cross-legged, close your eyes, and have distracting thoughts in your heart. Whoever sits on must erect his spine, and his loins must not be weakened, and his body must not be leaned on. Those who hold it firmly, shake hands firmly, and can retreat to ward off evil. Those who meditate, rest and think and keep their minds. The upper and lower teeth are interlocked, and it is advisable to sound thirty-six sounds. Clasp teeth to gather the god in the body, so that it will not disperse. Kunlun is the head, with two hands and ten fingers crossed, hugging the back of the neck, that is, covering the ears with the palms of both hands, secretly remembering the snort nine times, breathing slightly, not sound. ”
"Wow, Sister Lulu, you are really amazing, I studied by myself for a week to figure out the meaning of these two sentences, and you only read through it once and explained it so clearly!"
"It's nothing, I've loved reading old books since I was a child, so these mantras aren't too difficult for me to understand. ”
I was a little embarrassed by Chu Xiran's praise, the reason why Xing Lu remembered it so firmly was all due to Qin's mother's forgetfulness. I remember that Qin's mother always remembered the wrong steps when she started practicing, and whenever she made a mistake, Xing Lu (Cong Lu) would remind her on the side. So the most clear memory of this set of mantras is yourself, and it is simply reciting it backwards.
"Okay, Sister Lulu, the first thing you have to do is to memorize the mantra, and when the memorization is ripe, then you can start practicing. Remember, you can't be interrupted in the middle of a practice, and you have to practice a whole set in one breath before you stop. ”
"Okay, I remember. He nodded and agreed to Chu Xiran's instructions. "It's not too early, let's rest quickly, I don't know if it will be smooth to cross the river tomorrow." ”
"Well, let's go to sleep. ”
…………
The next day, when Xing Lu got up to make breakfast, everyone cleaned up one after another. After eating, He Lei began to shout that everyone was ready to cross the river.
For the two small boats that were made yesterday, Uncle Da carefully installed iron rings at both ends and connected the two boats together with a big iron chain. A few smaller ones were also attached to the sides of the ship, which, he explained, would allow people to hold on to them firmly and be safer.
He obviously wanted to take care of the weaker Xiaohua and the two girls, and he knew his carefulness and was very moved.
After discussion, several people decided that Uncle Cang, Wang Yongwei and Uncle Da would take Xiaohua in one boat, while Xing Lu, Zhang Qiang, Chu Xiran, Luo Qi and Chu Yu would be in the other. In this way, the strength of the two ships is more even, and it is safer. As for rowing, Wang Yongwei and Luo Qi were in charge.
Before boarding the boat, Xing Lu took out two Tang knives and handed them to Chu Xiran: "Take this, our abilities are more disadvantaged here, it's better to use Tang knives for a while." ”
After thinking about it, he took out a set of bows and crossbows plus forty or fifty arrows, handed them to Xiaohua, and quickly taught him how to use them. Harvested Wang Yongwei's grateful gaze.
"Give me a set. I saw Chu Yu stretching out his hand to Xing Lu, and his other hand was holding a long sword with a simple shape.
Xing Lu quickly understood what he wanted, and took out a bow and arrows and handed them to him. While handing it to him, he wondered, is there a way for him to use both?
"Brother Qiang, you can also take out your weapons, be prepared. ”
"Hmm. Zhang Qiang nodded, and also took out the ring broadsword he bought in the Annan base, and the earth-based ability is not very easy to use in the water!
After the preparation, everyone worked together to push the boat into the water and board the boat one after another.
When we got on the boat, we realized how sad the river was.
Not to mention that you have to be careful of the mutant fish that can be seen everywhere, just the mutated aquatic plants that keep entanglement make several people scrambled. There is also the river that keeps flowing in the direction of the chasm, and the rowers are just as tired.
Xiao Hua, who was protected by a few people, couldn't help but want to help, and from time to time he used a bow and crossbow in the protective circle to shoot the mutant fish that were about to run to the boat, and sometimes took the opportunity to practice his not yet powerful ability.
The first few times I didn't get on the spot, I missed all of them. After more times, he gradually found out the pattern, the success rate was much higher, and he became more and more handy.
Chu Xiran also found her own fighting rhythm, she first used the wood-based ability to bundle the mutated aquatic grass, and then used the Tang knife to cut it hard, and a large bundle of mutated aquatic grass was cut off. Against the mutant fish, she took the same method, and it worked.
Zhang Qiang brandished the big knife, and pieces of mutated aquatic plants were cut off, and even the mutant fish inside who wanted to 'fish in troubled waters' could not escape the fate of being 'cut in half'.
And Xing Lu, who was in the same boat as Chu Yu, seemed a little leisurely. Although Chu Yu's ability can't be used in the water (he is a thunderbolt), his attack power is still so high, and he draws sharp arcs with a long sword in his hand, and no mutant fish can survive two moves in his hand.
Because of his bravery, Xing Lu not only didn't rush around, but even had kung fu to put away the mutant fish killed by Chu Yu, as well as the mutated aquatic plants cut down by Chu Xiran and Zhang Qiang. As for whether the mutated aquatic plants can be eaten, whatever, just wait until you have time to watch it later?
It's just a little regret that those things are all dead, and they can't be put in the Hazy Moon Xiaozhu to breed. Maybe you can try it and see if the aquatic plants can be inserted?
Driving away the messy thoughts in her mind, Xing Lu concentrated on putting things away, and occasionally attacked the 'fish that slipped through the net' around her.
Whenever she was about to be bitten by a mutant fish, Chu Yu next to her would 'just happen' to attack it. And Xing Lu realized that she was protected, and when she took the time to thank Chu Yu, she would only get two words: 'By the way'. After many times, she didn't bother to thank each time, and just focused on her 'great business of collecting'.
With everyone's unremitting efforts, we finally went ashore. The river was only a dozen meters wide, and it took an hour to reach the opposite bank. Behind everyone, the entire surface of the river was red, and there was blood from the wounded, most of which was still from mutant fish. The corpses of various mutant fish and mutated aquatic plants floated on the river, and it was a mess.
As far as the eye could see, I saw that some people were soaked, and there were aquatic plants sticking to them, and several people were injured, and their arms were dripping with blood.
Xing Lu saw that even Qiu Lin and Han Yifeng were a little embarrassed, with large water stains on their clothes, it seemed that their crossing of the river this time was not very smooth, but fortunately, neither of them was injured. Qiu Lin also saw her, and the two waved to each other to show that they were fine.
didn't notice that when she turned her head, Hu Lingling glanced at her quickly.
