Chapter 9: Descending the Mountain
The Dragon Elephant Sutra originally had eighteen layers of realm, nine layers of elephant strength, and nine layers of dragon strength.
It is said that if you practice to the eighteenth layer, you can obtain the power comparable to the nine heavenly dragons and the nine-headed gods, and if you punch down, you can even break the mountains and rivers and change the color of the heavens and the earth.
But the Dragon Elephant Gong is only a copy of the Dragon Elephant Sutra, or the broken kind, and the content left on it is only the fifth layer of Elephant Jin and the first layer of Dragon Jin, a total of six layers of realm.
But even so, the sixth-layer realm of the Dragon Elephant Gong, even if it obtained the power of one elephant, it was enough to sweep all the condensation stage martial artists!
Although the power is strong after cultivation, the progress of cultivation is really outrageously slow, and Xiao Ping did not feel his internal strength for a night, and there was a slight increase.
Xiao Ping's comprehension talent is not bad, but because the congenital meridians are weak, the physique is too poor, so the cultivation progress is slow.
In addition, Xiao Ping was poor and white, penniless, and he couldn't buy the elixir spirit liquid to improve his cultivation speed.
Dragon Elephant Gong is already difficult to practice, but now Xiao Ping's physique is not good, and without the assistance of pills, the progress is naturally not fast.
But Xiao Ping was not in a hurry to cultivate the Dragon Elephant Gong, after all, he had just broken through the third layer of the condensation vein, and now it should mainly focus on stabilizing the realm, and the cultivation of the Dragon Elephant Gong could be taken slowly.
So, he put his main energy on the cultivation of swordsmanship and fist first.
......
The sun rises and sets, the clouds roll up, and the ten days pass quietly......
In front of the wooden house, a young man was holding a three-foot sword and dancing with a sword.
Today's wind is strong, and the wind is whirring, like a wild beast whimpering.
But the young man danced the sword, and the sound of the sword wind overshadowed the sound of the wind, and the sound was in his ears.
Sou!!
The young man swept out with a sword, and a fierce sword wind whistled out, heading straight for a locust tree not far away.
I only heard a crisp "click", and the locust tree, which had been standing for more than ten years, was directly swept by the young man's sword wind, and the center of the stump was broken off a large part!
The young man put away his sword and returned it to its sheath, and before those sawdust landed, his body burst out, and another powerful punch blasted out, only to hear a muffled sound, and the locust tree, which had been cut in half by the sword wind, was directly cut off by the waist.
Rumble!
The locust tree fell to the ground in response, kicking up countless dusts.
"Although in the past ten days, there has been almost no progress in the Dragon Elephant Technique, but my 'Flying Rain Sword Technique' has been cultivated to the first realm.
And because of the physical body cultivating the Cloud Piercing Fist day and night, in terms of pure strength, it should be about 500 kilograms!"
This young man is undoubtedly Xiao Ping, for ten days, Xiao Ping practiced hard in retreat, and the extremely high understanding of the combination of the two souls made his progress in the two martial arts gratifying.
However, because Xiao Ping's physique was extremely poor, and he didn't have any elixir or spiritual liquid to take, the progress of the Dragon Elephant Gong was extremely slow within ten days, and he only stabilized the realm of the third layer of the condensation vein, and there was no further improvement.
But he knew that the cultivation of "Dragon Elephant Gong" focused on a solid foundation, rather than blindly seeking speed, so he was not in a hurry.
"Ten days of retreat and self-practice, swordsmanship and boxing, the level that can be reached, that's it, it can be regarded as a bottleneck.
If you want to go further, you have to compete with people...... Or go out and hunt demon beasts in the deep mountains and old forests where monsters are rampant, looking for an opportunity to break through your strength!"
Xiao Ping groaned in his heart, planning his next cultivation plan.
After a while, I had an idea in my mind.
He plans to go to the mountains and forests to hunt demon beasts!
Although you can compete with real people, you can also achieve the purpose of improving your strength.
But Xiao Ping currently has almost no friends at the outer gate.
Even if the Xuanyu Sect has a martial arts platform that specially allows disciples to learn from each other.
But there, they were all occupied by the best of the outer disciples, and he had just provoked Zhu Mang before, and he couldn't keep his fox friends there, so he made things difficult for himself.
In the end, the strength did not improve much, but caused a commotion, which was really unnecessary.
The reason why I chose to go out to hunt demon beasts was to train myself and come to kill demon beasts, so that I could use their corpses to sell them in the fang market in exchange for silver taels and pills.
It just so happens that there is an urgent need for elixir to improve the Dragon Elephant Skill.
Otherwise, no matter how strong the martial arts are, it will just be a showmanship.
After making up his mind, Xiao Ping simply cleaned up and went down the mountain.
......
Xiao Ping stepped down the mountain in front of his feet, and in front of the mountain gate of Xuanyu Sect with his back feet, a tall young man in a brocade robe walked over, standing under the mountain gate, looking out, as if waiting for something.
After a while, at the gate of the mountain, a young man wearing a white inner disciple's practice uniform appeared, who looked to be in his twenties at most, his figure was very similar to the man in brocade, and his facial features were also seven points similar.
But the difference is that this person's steps are steady, his breath is long, and the momentum coming from his body is powerful, and he knows at a glance that he is a master in the inner door.
When the tall boy saw this young man, he immediately greeted him with joy:
"Brother, you can be regarded as coming back, how about it, this time you went out to hunt demon beasts, and the harvest was good, right?"
The brocade-clothed young man had a charming smile on his face, there is no doubt that he was the outer disciple who lost to Xiao Ping miserably in the assessment of Xiao Ping's outer door last time, Zhu Mang!
Speaking of which, Zhu Mang was unlucky enough, he lost to Xiao Ping twice and lost face, not to mention, and later, somehow, this matter reached his father's ears.
In this regard, Elder Zhu from the outer gate was very angry.
He was not angry that Zhu Mang was fighting casually, but that this kid fought and lost.
It was clear that he used a large amount of pills, and it was easy to break through the fifth layer of the condensation vein, but he actually lost to a small sword slave of the third layer of the condensation vein, and he still lost it in front of so many outer disciples, and it was a great shame to spread it!
Therefore, Elder Zhu directly ordered that Zhu Mang should be grounded in the mountain gate for six months until the beginning of the sect competition, during this time, he was not allowed to go down the mountain, and he must stay in the sect and cultivate well.
Zhu Mang is a gentleman, for the whole six months, he can't go down the mountain to drink wine and eat meat, he can't go to the Qinglou, and he can't take his younger brother to cause trouble everywhere, he can only practice boring exercises and martial arts all day long, which is even more uncomfortable than killing him.
These hatreds, Zhu Mang is all counted on Xiao Ping's head, he can't swallow this breath!
However, it is not easy for Zhu Mang to deal with Xiao Ping now.
Xiao Ping broke through the third layer of the condensation vein, he was already an outer disciple, and his status was the same as him, he could no longer take advantage of the identity gap to bully Xiao Ping.
And the fox friends he knows can't be pointed out at all.
After all, even he himself was in a head-to-head battle and lost to Xiao Ping, how could those little brothers be Xiao Ping's opponents?
It wasn't until today that his own brother Zhu Yan returned from hunting demon beasts in the inner gate, and he felt that the opportunity had come, so he came here early in the morning to wait for the eldest brother, hoping that the eldest brother could help him out of this evil breath.
Zhu Yan glanced at Zhu Mang, the two were brothers, they grew up together, and naturally understood this younger brother, he snorted coldly and said:
"Nothing to do, either treachery or theft, you are waiting for me here, what trouble do you want me to settle?"
Zhu Mang smiled awkwardly:
"The eldest brother really knows everything, and you really got it right......
In fact, here's the thing, there is a hateful sword slave named Xiao Ping, who is really arrogant, first teased me, and then cheated in two gambling battles in a row, which won me, not only insulting our Zhu family, but also saying Big brother, you ......"
As soon as Zhu Yan heard it, he knew that this dumb brother was making nonsense, and said impatiently:
"Don't come to that, I don't know what virtues you have? Don't you just want me to avenge you?"
"Hehe, what the eldest brother said is right, with the strength of the eldest brother, it is not just a finger to deal with that kid......"
Without waiting for Zhu Mang to finish speaking, Zhu Yan snorted coldly:
"I'm a disciple of the inner gate, and I shot at a sword slave who has just become a disciple of the outer gate, do you want those guys from the inner door to laugh at me?"
Zhu Mang hurriedly smiled and said:
"Kill chickens with a knife, big brother, aren't you friends with many powerful senior brothers in the inner gate?
"Nonsense!"
Zhu Yan scolded and said:
"Seeing that the triennial Great Sect Contest is imminent, which of my senior brothers and sisters is not seizing the time to cultivate? Who has the spare time to teach others for you? Do you want me to cut off contact with those senior brothers?
Tell you, it's impossible!
Zhu Yan said this, ignored Zhu Mang anymore, and strode away.
Zhu Mang was left alone, standing there dumbfounded.
He didn't expect that he couldn't do anything with his eldest brother, but he was reprimanded with a split head and a face.
couldn't help clenching his fists and gritting his teeth angrily.
"Damn, in Xuanyu Sect, Lao Tzu has never suffered such a big grievance, Xiao Ping, if Lao Tzu is not abolished, you will not be surnamed Zhu!"
