Chapter 19: Winter Exercises

Autumn goes to the winter solstice, and another three months have passed. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

It's very cold in the middle of winter, and the autumn pants have long faded, so it's time to wear them.

The north wind from the Luo Wilderness was as cold as a monarch, exuding a biting chill all over his body, and all living beings could only bow down in front of him.

Shigu Mountain in the distance was shrouded in dense winter fog, because of the heavy snow last night, the forty-mile long mountain was covered with a thick layer of snow.

The time of the traditional winter festival of Dashang is approaching, and the villagers of Shigu Village are nervously preparing for various matters.

In order to promote the royal power, the Shang Dynasty usually held four seasons of sacrifices, among which the winter ceremony was the most solemn.

Because of the ancient barbarian era, the peerless existence of the Heavenly Demon Beast "Nian" often plagued the world in the middle of winter, and the ancestors gathered great wisdom and fought against it for decades, and finally worked together to defeat the "Nian".

Later, the ancestors celebrated on the day they killed the "year". In the ancient Yu Shun period, the calendar was set up, and the four seasons were called "one year" at one time, and the period of winter worship was stipulated, and the whole world celebrated.

The winter festival is commonly referred to as the Chinese New Year in folklore.

The preparation of New Year's goods for the New Year is still the business of adults, and the children are not forced by adults, practice martial arts at home, go out if they want to, and love the waves.

However, for diligent children like Zishang, it is still impossible to go out.

The so-called summer practice and winter practice have always been so insistent on the business. Of course, Ziyun also asks for this.

However, before the Immortal Cave incident, the reason why his strength was so bad was really the limitation of his physical qualifications.

Later, under the violent erosion of the Snake Jiao's rudimentary Inner Dan and the pseudo-condensing Qi Pill, many shackles of the Body Refining Realm were broken through, so he was able to break through the Nine Realms of Body Refining in one fell swoop.

However, the fact that his qualifications were average still existed, and it would be revealed after breaking through the Qi Refining Realm.

Since the end of the qualifying competition for the new generation of children, Zishang abandoned the "Wind Willow Sword Technique" and chose a new sword book "Fufeng Nine Swords" in the family martial arts.

This swordsmanship and the "Wind Willow Sword Method" can be described as "the same teacher", the author originally used a hard sword like "Zhan Chen", and then I don't know why, I wrote the "Wind Willow Sword Method" This soft sword flow sword method. Even some of the sword moves in the "Wind Willow Sword Technique" are applied to the "Wind Relief Sword Technique".

Compared with the elegance and flexibility of the "Wind Willow Sword Technique", the attack of the Wind Lifting Sword Technique is more aggressive and strong.

With the foundation of the "Wind Willow Sword Technique", Zishang only took a month to practice the "Wind Helping Sword Technique" to Xiaocheng Fever, and now it is getting closer and closer to Dacheng, and he estimates that it will take another half a month at most, and he will be able to reach the Dacheng realm steadily.

If this swordsmanship is practiced to the fullest fire, it is comparable to the peak of the wind willow swordsmanship.

The core of the "Fufeng Sword Technique" is the nine-style sword moves, which are very closely related to each other and can be matched with each other.

The current Zishang has been able to skillfully perform seventeen matching methods, and the most one can connect the five sword moves.

Because of Zishang's "unsatisfactory performance" in the qualifying competition, he didn't wait for Ziyun's request, and he grounded himself at home, and he didn't go out for half a step for three months.

Smelling the chickens dancing every day, practicing the boring sword moves over and over again, and constantly experimenting to connect them together, this is the current swordsmanship.

In addition, after the qualifying match, Yuanhua did not continue to seal Zishang, and only let him pay attention to hiding. Maybe I'm afraid that if the seal is added too much, it will damage Zishang's body.

Therefore, Zishang often unscrupulously exerts the power of the late stage of the Nine Realms, which is also one of the reasons why his swordsmanship has improved rapidly.

As for the other six stars, the sub-axis steadily improved, moving towards the peak of the early stage of the Eightfold Realm. Coincidentally, he also changed to a new swordsmanship, which seems to be called "Ruijin Swordsmanship", and now there is also a small fire, and the overall strength has not decreased or increased.

And Zizhang also practiced behind closed doors after the qualifying competition, and broke through to the eightfold realm of refining body in only nine days.

At that time, the sub-axis had not yet been re-trained in the "Ruijin Swordsmanship", and the two fought three battles, and in the end, the sub-axis lost and won twice, surpassing the sub-axis.

However, a few days later, the sub-axis changed to practice the "Ruijin Sword Technique", and Zizhang once said that if the sub-axis can practice to Dacheng Heat, even if he relies on the peak of the "swinging swordsmanship", he may not be able to beat the sub-axis.

But he didn't change to other swordsmanship, but insisted on practicing the wielding sword technique to a complete level.

As for Zheng Zhuangzhuang, who is a "late bloomer", he fished for three days and dried nets for two days, but he still broke through vvyvvb2 and focused on the anti-wave knife technique, and there were faint signs of a perfect realm.

It's just that the overall strength is still slightly inferior to Zheng Zhuangzhuang.

In addition to the successive breakthroughs of the juniors, the older generation is not to be outdone.

The previous generation of Tianjiao Zili broke through the sevenfold realm of qi refining, and Murong Fan, the patriarch of the Murong clan, also broke through to the ninefold realm of qi refining!

Zishang's second uncle, Ziling, one of the clan elders, has hit the peak of the Nine Realms three times in the past five years, and he was not very sure, but he also succeeded half a month ago, becoming the second peak powerhouse of Qi refining after Ziyun.

Of course, these three people alone consumed a considerable part of the high-grade elixir, which made Yuanhua feel distressed for a long time.

After all, many high-grade medicinal materials are in stock of the year, and in the past thirty years or so, it is okay to cultivate some middle and low-grade medicinal materials, but some medium- and high-grade medicinal materials are not one hundred and eighty years old, and it is impossible to grow them at all.

However, these consumption is also worth it, after all, no matter how good the medicinal materials are, they must be used by people, otherwise what is the value?

In short, the leaps and bounds of many people in this year have made everyone very happy and confident about the upcoming new year.

……

That afternoon, Ziyun came to Zishang's courtyard and saw him sitting on the ground, sweating profusely.

Just now he was trying to fuse the six sword moves, but after practicing twenty or thirty times, it was not ideal, and the last time he hit his foot, so he sat down to rest.

Seeing his father come to his residence, he reluctantly stood up, and Ziyun walked quickly to his side and helped him to the stone bench beside him.

"Dad, why are you here?" asked Zishang.

Ziyun squatted down, looked at Zishang's feet, crossed some true qi, relieved his pain, and then twisted twice.

Zishang didn't feel much pain, and his foot was fine.

Ziyun replied at this time: "The matter of the winter ritual is almost ready, so I came to see you, how much progress has you made recently?"

Since the qualifying competition, he has steadily revealed his realm, and now, except for Yuanhua and Zishang himself, the Zishang that others know has reached the peak of the Sevenfold Realm of Body Refining.

Zishang thought quickly in his mind, and said proudly: "It's a big progress!"

Then the god mysteriously leaned into Ziyun's ear and whispered, "Dad, let me tell you a secret, I successfully broke through to the Eightfold Realm yesterday!"

Ziyun's eyes lit up, staring at Zishang incredulously, grabbed his shoulders, and said excitedly, "Really, you didn't lie to your father, did you?"

Zishang nodded affirmatively and said, "Of course it's true, I don't believe it." ”

After speaking, he broke free from Ziyun, stood in the clearing, took a deep breath, secretly adjusted his physical state, and then hit the Dragon Suppression and Tiger Fist according to the strength of the early stage of the Eightfold Realm.

In the past three months, Zishang has specially studied the difference in strength between different realm levels, and has also consulted Yuanhua several times, and now he can basically control the output of power.

The power of the Eightfold Realm unleashes the most basic Dragon Suppression and Tiger Suppression Fist, which is extremely fast and full of explosive power.

Ziyun carefully observed Zishang who was performing his fist technique, and his hands were shaking with excitement.

Zishang's fist technique was used vigorously, and the power of the Eightfold Realm was brought into full play, and he only broke through last night (Ziyun thought), and he was able to adapt perfectly today.

"My son is really not a mediocre person, he has not made rapid progress, and his martial arts talent is also extraordinary, and the revitalization of Dashang is hopeful!"

Ziyun stroked his mustache and nodded secretly.

"Alright, Zishang, stop. After looking at it for a while, Ziyun stopped Zishang and said, "I can't imagine that in just over three months, you have broken through from the peak of the middle stage of the Sevenfold Realm to the Eightfold Realm!

Zishang smiled proudly, and Ziyun continued: "In the past few days, I have discussed with several clan elders, and I plan to let the children of your generation gather for 'winter training'. ”

"Winter training?" Zishang raised his eyebrows, feeling puzzled in his heart.

"In fact, this matter was brought up by your uncle and grandfather, he said that you are making too fast progress now, and if you want to hurry, you can't reach it, in order to prevent things from going wrong, just take advantage of this cold winter weather to give you a set of winter special training to strengthen the foundation. Ziyun patiently explained.

"Originally, the winter training was planned to start a month ago, but because of the winter festival and the construction of the venue, it was not ready until now. ”

Zishang nodded, indicating that he understood, but he vaguely felt that the matter of "winter training" seemed to be related to some strange events before.

"It seems that Uncle and Grandpa really know something......" Thinking of this, he frowned slightly.

Ziyun saw him frowning, his face was a little gloomy, thinking that he was not willing to participate in the winter training, so he persuaded him earnestly:

"Zishang, the path of martial arts is full of thorns, and if you want to go further, you must endure hardships within hardships, just like how much hardship you have endured during this period of time to break through to the Eightfold Realm in a short period of time. ”

Zishang knew that Ziyun had misunderstood, but he didn't say anything, and replied, "I know." Dad, don't worry, I will train hard, surpass the sub-axis and sub-chapter, and become the head of the six stars!"

Ziyun smiled with satisfaction, touched his head, and said, "Well, Dad believes in you, my son is the best......!"

So, under the guidance of Ziyun's hand, in an hour's time, Zishang successfully integrated the six-style sword moves in series, and even had some understanding of the series of seven-style sword moves.

……

Two days later, 78 new generation disciples including Zishang gathered at the "half-cut depression" on the east side of Dustpan Bay and began strict winter training.

After more than half a month of construction, many training facilities have been placed in the "Half Sectional Depression": large and small stone mills, all kinds of metal armor, eighteen bronze figures and so on.

"Half Sectional Depression" is a section of the ancient river valley where the external force accumulation is more serious, more than half a mile wide from north to south, about three miles long from east to west, and there are only a few trees scattered. There is a steep slope on the west side, and not far from the steep slope is a small oval lake, a full 130 zhang from east to west.

It is now also used as a training ground, and every morning when the sky is bright, it is a place to swim five round-trips.

Even the Zishang of the Nine Realms of Body Refining was extremely reluctant to swim in winter at first, and he pushed it down for the first few days.

Speaking of which, it is necessary to mention the person in charge of training them.

The military attachés of the Great Shang are set up as "Asia, Dog, Horse, Horse, Archery, Soldier, Guard, Dog, Dog, etc." But the best commanders of the army were Shang kings and local princes.

Ya was the official who was ordered by the king to lead the army to conquer and hunt down fugitive slaves, and he was probably the highest official in charge of the army, so the people in charge of the winter training of the Zishang were called "Xuanya" and "Xuandoya".

The general person in charge "Xuanya" is Ziling, the second uncle of Zishang, and there are eight people in "Xuanduoya", who are the children of the previous generation headed by Zili and Zilong. In addition to these two Tianjiao, the other six people were also "Ben San" Qi Refining Realm martial artists.

Because the winter festival is approaching, they have a ten-day adaptation period, followed by two days off, followed by 5945 days of formal winter training.

However, it is said that it is an adaptation period, and the training intensity is moderately reduced. But when they participated in the official winter training, they found that they were all the same ruthless!

As for how ruthless it is......

Let's put it this way, after the winter training, the eighteen bronze men became eighteen bronze balls......
