Chapter 1076: Retreat and Cultivation

Dou Zhanlong's face was embarrassed, his eyes stared straight at the roast chicken, he didn't pay attention to the old man's words at all, he couldn't wait to get the roast chicken, and promised repeatedly: "As long as you give me food, you can do whatever you want me to do!" ”

Although Dou Zhanlong had been trained by the devil before, there was only one time like this kind of thing that had been absorbed by the enchantment for a long time and could not be eaten, and the flesh and strength were starved together, which was simply unbearable for people. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The old man nodded slightly, slowly stretched out his arm, and through the enchantment, handed the roast chicken to Dou Zhanlong, his eyes were deep, and he looked at Dou Zhanlong thoughtfully.

Dou Zhanlong took the roast chicken, couldn't help swallowing his saliva, reached out and tore off a chicken leg, and devoured it.

"Have you eaten enough?" Not long after, the old man saw Dou Zhanlong lying on his back with a satisfied face, stretched out his legs, kicked Dou Zhanlong, and said sharply: "The chicken has been eaten, it's time to fulfill the promise!" ”

"What promise?" Dou Zhanlong crossed Erlang's legs, stretched out his hand and picked at the gap between his teeth from time to time, and said with a sloppy face: "Why don't I remember what I said!" ”

The old man's face was calm, and with a "whoosh", he rushed into the enchantment on the side of his body, stretched out his arm, blew lightly, mobilized the energy in the enchantment, quickly rolled up the branches and thorns on the ground, and threw them casually, all running towards Dou Zhanlong.

Dou Zhanlong frowned, his eyes were shocked, a carp stood up, stood up from the ground, held his head in both hands, and begged for mercy: "Don't!" With so many twigs and thorns whipped together on my body, wouldn't I be completely ruined? ”

The old man's eyes were crossed, his lips were pursed, and his hands were brewing strength, ready to throw branches at any time.

Seeing that the old man was unmoved, Dou Zhanlong tentatively took two steps forward, picked up a thorn casually, stared at the old man with straight eyes, and said unwillingly: "In order to express my sincerity, can't I smoke it myself?" ”

After speaking, Dou Zhanlong closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, used his arms hard, clenched the thorns, made a great determination, waved the thorns, and whipped his body.

Then, at the moment when the thorns fell on his body, Dou Zhanlong felt a numbness in his scalp, a tingling pain in his abdomen, and a trace of sweat on his forehead, opened his eyes, looked at the old man, and asked tentatively, "Is this okay?" ”

The old man nodded slightly, his eyes still staring at Dou Zhanlong, and motioned for him to continue.

Dou Zhanlong's brows furrowed even tighter, and the pain of a needle piercing came from the palm of his hand, and he couldn't help but moan, revealing an embarrassed expression.

The old man didn't say a word, waved his arms, mobilized his strength, and brewed a tornado, ready to rush into Dou Zhanlong's body.

said that it was too late, Dou Zhanlong's eyes closed, his arms waved, and the economy flew wildly, falling on Dou Zhanlong's chest and back one after another, and there was a faint rustle of torn clothes.

"Good, keep doing it!" The corners of the old man's mouth rose slightly, revealing a satisfied smile, and said sternly: "If I find that you show any signs of laziness, add an extra thorn!" ”

Dou Zhanlong still has any temper, after his eyes were closed, he never opened them again, and he danced thorns one after another.

With a "click", the thorn broke, Dou Zhanlong didn't dare to slack off, quickly bent down, picked up a thorn again, and landed on his body with his head and face.

"What kind of martial arts is this?" Time passed quickly, Dou Zhanlong was already numb in his flesh and skin, waving thorns as he wanted, his face fell on his body calmly, and he complained and said: "If I continue to practice, my body will soon become a hornet's nest!" ”

However, he never had the courage to look down at his body. As everyone knows, with the passage of time, Dou Zhanlong's skin and flesh have already scabbed over and given birth to fresh skin.

Finally one day, the old man appeared in front of Dou Zhanlong again, looked at the broken branches in the house, nodded with satisfaction, waved his arms, made a gesture to Dou Zhanlong, signaled to stop, and said in a matter-of-fact manner: "The training of wielding thorns can end here!" ”

Dou Zhanlong had long been accustomed to the strength of the thorns, threw away the thorns in his hand expressionlessly, turned his head to look at the old man, and said in a cold voice: "Now, you can let me go, right?" ”

The old man's eyes slanted, his arm stretched out, took out a short knife, and handed it to Dou Zhanlong.

Before the old man could speak, Dou Zhanlong trembled his hands, his eyes dodged, he waved his hands in horror and eagerly, and said, "Will you let me use a short knife instead of thorns and pierce the flesh hard?" ”

The old man looked at Dou Zhanlong's frightened appearance, couldn't help but pout, and said, "There is a plum blossom here, you throw it into the sky, and then pierce it with a short knife!" ”

"I'll go! What kind of play are you singing? Dou Zhanlong took a deep breath, his eyes widened incredulously, and said, "The weight of plum blossoms is so light, how can it fly into the air without the help of strength?" ”

The old man shook his head slightly, his eyes widened, his arm was raised, his palm was loosened, and he threw a plum petal into the air. Then, he took the short knife, his eyes narrowed, his arm flicked, and the short knife pierced the plum blossom and fell quickly.

Dou Zhanlong was dumbfounded, opened his eyes, and said, "How did you do it?" ”

"It's simple, one word." The old man breathed a long sigh of relief, relaxed his body, and said casually: "Heart! ”

"Heart? What heart? Dou Zhanlong tilted his head, frowned, looked at Dou Zhanlong with a puzzled expression, and asked eagerly.

The old man smiled without saying a word, and behind his hands, he swaggered out of the enchantment, leaving Dou Zhanlong alone.

"Hmph, dead old man, he must be deliberately manipulating me!" Dou Zhanlong snorted coldly, slanted the corners of his eyes, looked at the back of the old man leaving, and said in a low voice.

He looked at the short knife and plum blossom petals in his hand, sighed deeply, and muttered to himself: "The loss of the ancient martial arts qi of an ancient martial arts cultivator is equivalent to the loss of limbs, what use can it be except for lingering?" ”

"If you want to succeed, you must keep the word 'heart' firmly in your heart." In the enchantment, the ghostly voice of the old man echoed.

Dou Zhanlong reflexively stood up straight, picked up a petal, recalled the old man's approach, and tentatively threw the petal into the air.

However, before he could take out the knife, the petals had already fallen, and there was a faint hint of loneliness.

"How can we overcome the problem of the low weight of plum petals?" Dou Zhanlong simply bent his knees, sat cross-legged on the ground, played with plum blossom petals in his hands, and threw them into the air from time to time.

Every time the plum blossom petals fall in the air more than 30 centimeters away from the ground, the speed is slow, the weight is light, and the petals are thin, which really becomes a stumbling block for the petals to rise.

Dou Zhanlong sighed deeply, turned his head to look at the short knife, the handle was not long, the blade was sharp, flashing with dazzling light, and with a little force, it would be thrown into the air.

Due to the large weight of the short knife, the falling speed is faster, once the timing is not good, it will watch and the plum petals pass by.

"Timing!" Suddenly, Dou Zhanlong's eyes lit up, he got up suddenly, holding a knife in his left hand and a petal in his right hand, his eyes widened, and he tried to throw the petals again.

This time, instead of rushing to throw the short knife, he pursed his lips and increased his strength after waiting for about two seconds.

During the rapid fall of the short knife, the falling speed of the petals slows down, and the two are fortunate enough to touch a point of contact.

Seeing that Dou Zhanlong was hopeful and about to succeed, the petals changed direction, missed the short knife, and scattered to the ground.

"Nima!" Dou Zhanlong slapped his thigh violently, hung his head in frustration, and complained impatiently: "Once there is any wind and grass in the air, it will cause the turmoil of plum blossom petals. How is this good? ”

After thinking about it, Dou Zhanlong once again pointed the core of the problem to the Qi of Ancient Martial Arts. He firmly believed that only by taking the ancient martial qi as the premise and controlling the abnormal movement in the air could the smooth fall of the petals be guaranteed.

He looked down at his hands, his face was furious, he clenched his fists, and kept pounding against the wall, making a dull "bang" sound.

Suddenly, a piece of white wall skin on the wall, mixed with a little weeds, fell to the ground in front of Dou Zhanlong's eyes.

Dou Zhanlong's eyes lit up, he suddenly realized, quickly turned around, picked up the plum blossom petals, took a deep breath, concentrated, and stared at the petals intently.

This time, the petals were thrown into the air about two meters above the ground, turning into dancing fairies and slowly falling.

Then, with a long sigh of relief, his eyes narrowed slightly, his ears pricked up, and he used all possible information to inquire about the whereabouts of the petals.

For Dou Zhanlong, the enchantment at this time was particularly quiet, and the slightest wind and grass could clearly reach his ears.

Estimating that the time was about the same, Dou Zhanlong gritted his teeth hard, straightened his waist, and threw the short knife into the air.

The greater the rise height of the short knife, the faster the falling speed, however, Dou Zhanlong did not rush and never opened his eyes, as if sensing the movement trajectory of the short knife, he slightly rotated at a thirty-degree angle in mid-air, and quickly fell down.

At the same time, he subconsciously picked up a petal, threw it into the air again, clearly heard the sound of "Kaz", opened his eyes, his face was happy, bent down to pick up the short knife, looked at the petals inserted on it, and said excitedly: "Great, I finally did it!" ”

In the days that followed, Dou Zhanlong concentrated all his energy, devoting his body and mind to the plum blossom petals and short knives, as if turning them into a part of his body, clearly sensing their trajectory and speed.

Until one day, the old man quietly came to the outside of the enchantment, his eyes widened, and he looked at Dou Zhanlong with some worry.

Suddenly, dozens of plum blossom petals were thrown into the air, like fairies scattering flowers. After a few seconds, the dagger lifts into the air, plunging all the petals into the blade as it falls.

The old man's eyes were shocked, and he couldn't help but applaud, and said with a shocked face: "I didn't expect you to be able to master the mental method in such a short period of time!" ”

Dou Zhanlong raised his eyebrows, the corners of his mouth rose, and he said in a low-key voice: "Dare to ask Master, what is the mental method you are talking about?" ”

"You're finally willing to call me Master!" The old man was slightly excited, stepped forward, and said, "Do you remember the sixth day in the second chapter of the Heart Method Mantra in the "Lotus Flower Book"? ”

Dou Zhanlong's brows furrowed, thinking about the content of the "Flower Treasure Book" in his mind, and he kept muttering in his mouth.

"I see!" Suddenly, he opened his eyes suddenly, looked at the old man in a daze, and said in surprise: "That's right, maybe this is the word 'heart' in the mouth of the tree god!" ”

The old man nodded affirmatively, and said: "You must be attentive to everything, you must be attentive, and you must be attentive, so that you can overcome any enchantments and obstacles and realize the true meaning of things!" ”

"Dare to ask Master's name?" Dou Zhanlong stood up straight, bowed deeply, and asked with a humble face.
