Chapter 194: Retreat and Cultivation
Xiao Ding was at the bottom of the cliff of Niutou Peak, and by chance broke through to the second layer of the exercises. All the discomfort disappeared.
He got up and dug a pit and buried Li Xingchen of Spirit Sword Villa, along with his seven-colored broad-bladed sword.
Carry the remaining Red Refining Flame Fruit into his arms. The reason why he didn't continue to eat the last Red Refining Flame Fruit was because he felt that he had just made a breakthrough in his skills, and he still needed to consolidate it slowly, and it was not appropriate to rely on external forces to forcibly improve it, so as not to pull out the seedlings and help them grow, and his cultivation would be unstable.
Looking up at the steep cliff, Xiao Ding thought to himself, it is not easy to climb to the top, should he take a turn in the valley first?
Thinking of this, Xiao Ding gave up the idea of climbing the cliff immediately. He straightened out his robe, which had leaked a lot of holes. He grabbed his scorched hair with his hand.
Then head into the valley.
This small valley is not big. Mountains all around. Xiao Ding wondered, how did Li Xingchen and Teng Snake Old Immortal come to the bottom?
Later, he walked along the foot of the mountain and finally found a slope that led him out of the valley. It seems that Li Xingchen and Teng Snake Old Immortal should have come in from here.
If you go up this slope by yourself, you should be able to walk out of the valley. I just don't know where I'm going to go when I go out. This Funiu Mountain is so big, I am not familiar with the terrain, and it is easy to get lost after going out.
Now that there is a way out of the valley, Xiao Ding is not in a hurry. He suddenly felt that the environment in this valley was beautiful, the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant, and it was far away from the hustle and bustle, but it was a good place for cultivation.
It just so happens that his exercises have just broken through, and he still needs to continue to consolidate them, and after entering the second layer of the Qi training period, he can learn a few more basic spells, and he can also learn them here and try them.
Thinking of this, Xiao Ding found a big stone in a spacious place at the bottom of the valley and sat on it.
On the second level of Qi training, the spells that can be practiced are: perspective, sound discrimination, sound transmission, light body, vajra, etc.
Among them, perspective needs to be practiced to open the eyes of the sky, and sound discrimination and sound transmission need to be practiced to open the ears of the sky.
As the name suggests, perspective is the ability to see through the surface of an object to see its internal structure. Similar to the X-rays of later generations. At the same time, after opening the eyes of heaven, you can also see things that ordinary people can't see, such as gods and ghosts.
Phonological discrimination is the ability to distinguish extremely small sounds, and the farther away the sound can be heard as the skill deepens. Behind the opening of the heavens, you can also hear sounds that ordinary people can't hear, such as the voices of ghosts and gods. Sound transmission is a kind of spell that can secretly transmit sound to someone, which is equivalent to the function of positioning and transmitting information, when transmitting sound to someone, only this person can hear it, and others can't hear it.
The light body technique is equivalent to the light skill in martial arts, and after practice, with the deepening of the skill, the body will become lighter and lighter, and it can even fly a distance in the air.
Vajra is a type of alchemy that strengthens one's body to achieve the effect of invulnerability. It is similar to the golden bell hood iron cloth shirt in martial arts, and the kung fu practiced horizontally by the Thirteen Taibao. It's just that the kung fu practiced by the Thirteen Taibao requires maintaining the body of a child to be able to practice, but the vajra technique is not used.
Xiao Ding studied each spell and felt that it was better to practice the light body technique first. He had met a few people who could do light work before, and each time he fell behind because he couldn't do light work.
So Xiao Ding decided to practice this light body technique first. Moreover, if you learn the light body technique, at the critical moment, you will have an additional way to escape.
According to the cultivation method of the light body technique, Xiao Ding used his aura and began to practice. However, after repeated practice many times, I did not feel any lightness.
Could it be that this exercise is fake? Xiao Ding was puzzled.
I continued to practice until it was almost dark, and I didn't get out of the way.
However, although he did not practice the light body technique, Xiao Ding made a new discovery. At this time, he realized that he could now absorb the natural aura contained between heaven and earth. Before, when I was in the first layer of the Qi cultivation period, I couldn't absorb the aura of nature in heaven and earth. Now it's different, as long as you run the exercises, the aura around you will roll in, and you will be sucked into your body and accepted for your own use.
For Xiao Ding, this is good news, it just so happens that the aura at the bottom of this valley is strong, and cultivating here is just right for him to consolidate the realm of exercises.
At this moment, he suddenly heard someone calling out to him:
"Tian Daxia, where are you?"
"Tian Daxia, are you here?"
"Tian Daxia, are you still alive?"
Xiao Ding followed the sound and looked over, and saw that it was Song Yinzi's guards who climbed down the rope from the cliff.
It turned out that the guards were very anxious after seeing Xiao Ding fall off the cliff. Song Yinzi also came to the cliff from behind at this time, and after listening to the guards tell what happened, he scolded the guards for being stupid, "If you help Brother Tian in time, how could he fall off the cliff?" ”
But it's useless to complain at this point. So Song Yinzi asked the guards to find the rope, and then went down the cliff to find Xiao Ding.
But this time, they didn't bring too much rope with them. The cliff is so high that it takes a long rope to get down.
So, Song Yinzi immediately asked the guards to cut the bark, find vines, and rub ropes temporarily.
As a result, the guards tossed and turned for most of the afternoon before they could get a rope long enough and climb down the rope. As soon as they reached the bottom of the cliff, the guards saw the dead snake, and the red color of the dead snake had become extremely pale by this time. The guards didn't see Xiao Ding, so they shouted.
Xiao Ding heard the shouts of the guards, and hurriedly got up and stopped practicing.
He raised his voice in agreement, and walked over to the guard.
"Tian Daxia, it's great that you're fine!"
"Tian Daxia, you weren't hurt, were you?"
"Tian Daxia, you killed that big snake, right?"
When the guards found Xiao Ding, they were very happy and came forward to ask for warmth.
"I'm fine, thank you for your concern!" Xiao Ding said politely with his fists clenched.
"Tian Daxia, it's okay if you're okay, let's go up together, our prince is waiting above!" Seeing that Xiao Ding said that it was okay, the guards were relieved and offered to invite Xiao Ding back to the cliff together.
"Oh, thank you for all the hard work that came to me! But now I have a new plan. I want to retreat and practice here for a while, and I ask you to go back and tell King Mu, don't worry about me for the time being. Xiao Ding politely refused.
"Tian Daxia, why are you cultivating here? Isn't it the same when you go back to cultivate? The guard still persuaded him.
"It's far away from people, it's quiet and elegant, and it's just right for cultivation. After going back, there were too many distractions from the outside world to calm down. Xiao Ding explained, he couldn't help but think of the sound of firecrackers every morning.
"Okay, then let's go back first, Tian Daxia, take care of yourself here." The guard said with concern.
"Okay. By the way, you can also bring that big snake with you, doesn't King Mu just want this big snake? By the way, my mace, I have to trouble you to help me send it back to the inn and put it in my room. Xiao Ding asked.
"Okay, no problem, Tian Daxia, don't worry! Definitely send it back for you! With that, the guards turned and left.
"Wait a minute, I'll say another thing, leave me the rope you went down the cliff on, and when I'm done retreating, I can go up along the rope." Xiao Ding said. He suddenly remembered that when he finished cultivating, it was best to return the way he came, so that he wouldn't get lost. I don't know where the road on the slope of the valley will lead, but if I follow that road, I will definitely get confused.
"Okay, Tian Daxia, we won't take that rope away. You can retreat here! The guards affirmed.
Then, Xiao Ding helped the guards tie the big snake to the bodies of several guards, and the guards carefully climbed up the rope.
Although the big snake is not as huge as the giant python in Luoxia Peak, it is not small, and the weight can reach two or three hundred catties after death, and those guards have only practiced a little ordinary martial arts, and they are not as powerful as Xiao Ding, so they alone cannot carry such a heavy snake.
Therefore, if they want to bring the big snake to the cliff, they must have several people to carry the big snake together.
Xiao Ding saw the guards slowly climbing towards the cliff with the big snake on their backs, so he turned around, thinking to himself, when will he be able to learn all these spells?
