Chapter Forty-Eight: Quick Mention of the Exercises
During the three days of Ah Huan's retreat, the three girls, Linglu, Ji Yue and Xin Yi, focused on practicing the hidden method of hanging on the wall when swimming in the dragon and the defense of the ice hammer pill in the Shangyu realm.
Niu Chen and Lu Xiuyuan used their spiritual power to control the Ice Turret more skillfully, sometimes flying up to attack each other, sometimes hitting and rubbing in parallel, and making a "bang, bang" sound from time to time.
The two of them also formulated a strategy for how to protect Ah Huan on the left and right sides during the official competition, so that his Ice Rotor would not be collided with by others.
After the ice and the dragon were almost practiced, the two of them carefully observed the girls' dragon swimming and hiding tactics, tried to choose a better angle for archery, and prepared to wait for Ah Huan to tell him that it would help improve the hit rate.
Although the few of them were not too nervous about practicing in the Shangyu Realm on their own, the three days seemed to have passed in a blink of an eye.
At dusk on the third day after Ah Huan's retreat and cultivation, Linglu and the others were gathering in the front hall of Shangyu Realm to discuss the details of the competition, and Ah Huan had already returned from the pass.
Linglu suddenly found that this little follower, who had been familiar with her since she was six years old, had become more and more mature at this time.
Not only did he take a steady step, his skills seemed to have increased greatly, but his eyebrows also revealed a kind of confidence.
Linglu couldn't help but be a little curious, just in just three days, what kind of exercises did this Ah Huan's stepfather, the head of the Yu family, teach him to make such a huge change?
It is said that three days ago, Ah Huan did not leave far after following his stepfather out of the front hall, they just entered the dressing room by the Earth Fire Sky Pool. After entering, Ah Huan realized that this ordinary changing room on the outside was a barrier above the Yu family's forbidden room.
When he first returned to Shangyu Realm, Ah Huan saw this house and thought it was just a dressing room when everyone came to soak in the hot pool, but his father-in-law never let him in, and every time he changed his clothes, his father-in-law put them on the stone platform on the shore.
This time, his father-in-law made an exception and took him into the dressing room, and then raised his hand to grope around the candlestick by the door, and one of the wardrobes in the room slid to the left side, revealing an old portrait of a human figure on the exposed wall.
Ah Huan saw his stepfather respectfully worshipping the portrait, and was a little curious. "Father-in-law, who is this ......?"
"Huan'er, this portrait is the same person as the one in the middle of the ancestral hall, he is the first head of the Yu family, Yu Jichang, and the first patriarch of Yushan Peak." After listening to his father-in-law's introduction, Ah Huan hurriedly shook himself to the ground, and respectfully gave a big gift to the discoverer of Yushan Peak.
After Ah Huan worshiped the ancestor of the Yu family, the father-in-law lifted the portrait, pressed it with his hand behind it, and the other wardrobe slowly slid to the other side, and a secret passage appeared on the wall behind the cabinet.
The father-in-law took Ah Huan into the secret passage, pressed it behind the candlestick on the wall, and the two wardrobes returned to their original places.
Ah Huan was a little puzzled, it stands to reason that after the wardrobe was returned and the secret door was closed, the father-in-law did not light the lamp, nor did he use spiritual lighting, it should be pitch black inside? But now it was not the case, and he found that he could still see the steps that stretched down to the bottom.
The stepfather led the way in front, and Ah Huan followed closely behind him, turning the steps, and he could see a spacious underground secret room.
In the middle of the secret room, on a mysterious case, on a candlestick made of two mermaids' tails, enshrined a pearl the size of a child's fist, the pearl emits a bright dazzling light, illuminating the room like day, it turns out that the light in the secret room comes from this pearl.
On the table next to the candlestick, there is also a special box, which should have been used to carry this pearl.
Ah Huan felt that the closer she got to this pearl, it was like being close to a burning coal, and it was extremely hot.
On the wall of this secret room, there are also some rankings of the ancestors of the Yu family, Ah Huan looked closely, but there was no name of his maternal grandfather inside.
Two months ago, after Ah Huan worshiped his grandfather, his father-in-law once opened the Yu family ancestral hall for him, and took him to worship the ancestors of the Yu family, and the name Yu Huan was also written into the Yu family tree.
"Father-in-law, the tablet enshrined here is ......"
"Huan'er, this is the forbidden room of the Yu clan, and those who can enter it to worship are all the ancestors surnamed Yu who have been the patriarch of the Split Ice Clan."
"So, it's a pearl of the night, right......?" Ah Huan had seen some night pearls given by small earth immortals to Duobao Dao people in Luo Xiao Mountain, but they were not as big as his stepfather, and they were not so hot.
"It's not the Pearl of the Night! It's a ...... Huan'er, it doesn't matter what it is, the Ice Washing Festival is approaching, time is pressing, you should concentrate on practicing, and you don't need to ask anything else! ”
After speaking, the stepfather pointed to a cushion under the Xuan case, "You sit cross-legged on this, and I will use it to help you practice now." ”
After seeing Ah Huan sit down, his father-in-law said again: "Huan'er, I have already found someone to inquire in the past few days, and the technique of Jimo Qingyu has entered the seventh realm, and if you have mastered the seventh bone quenching ice soul technique of Xuanji Ice Spirit, you can attach ice ridges to the ice twist and increase the edge thorns. Now, if you can't quickly become sevenfold, you will have no chance of winning this battle with him. ”
After Ah Huan sat cross-legged on the mat according to his father's order, Yu Ranze stopped talking, and walked straight to the side of the Xuan case, using his spiritual power on his hands. The pearl on the mermaid candlestick was summoned by him, and with the spiritual power of his two hands, he began to circle around Ah Huan's body.
Ah Huan could immediately feel that the heat around his body was unbearable, and even his clothes emitted a burnt smell.
"Huan'er, close your eyes and guard your heart. Remember not to think or move, calm your mind, and gather ice qi and spiritual power in your body to travel to various spiritual veins. The father-in-law reminded Ah Huan what to do while using the fiery pearl to change careers around Ah Huan's body.
"Do you remember the bone quenching ice soul formula? You don't have to reply to me, meditate in your heart! Then follow the mantra and start the trial! ”
All the formulas of Xuanji Ice Spirit were personally taught to him by Ah Huan's father before he was killed, and since the memory reappeared in his mind, Ah Huan did not dare to forget bit by bit.
Moreover, in the days after he had just recovered some of his memories, Ah Huan had also tried the seventh bone quenching ice soul after learning the sixth cold quenching ice finger in the Earth Fire Sky Pool, but he felt a little cold and icy at that time, so he stopped for fear of hurting his inner and lower spiritual veins.
Now, with his stepfather by his side to protect the Dharma for him, Ah Huan boldly entered the realm of the void.
The spiritual power and ice qi traveled through the spiritual veins of the various air pockets in the body, and Ah Huan did not feel cold, but felt extremely comfortable, just relieving the blazing heat of the pearl outside the body.
Slowly, he felt that all his bones seemed to be wrapped in a layer of ice armor, and he let his stepfather urge Mingzhu with his spiritual power to wrap around any part of his body, and he no longer felt the burning and stinging.
Ah Huan didn't know how long he had been in the Void Realm this time, but after coming back to his senses, he slowly opened his eyes, and saw that his father-in-law was still using his skills to drive the pearl to turn, he didn't dare to stand up rashly, and asked tentatively, "Father-in-law...... Me, can I ......?"
"Gather spiritual power in your hands and turn your power into ice, whether it is a wooden ice rotor or a weapon sword, you can plate the ice body and quench the ice bones! Huan'er, try it quickly, can you form an ice edge? ”
During the period when Ah Huan entered the cultivation, his stepfather never left an inch, and he had been spending spiritual power to urge Mingzhu to protect the Dharma for him, and his voice trembled a little at this time, but he still insisted on guiding Ah Huan.
According to what his father-in-law said, Ah Huan put his palms together, burst into strength, his mind moved, and the ice peaks came out.
"Broken~!" In front of him at this moment, there was only the spacious practice field in the secret room, there was no shelter or weapon rotation, and he swung his palms out of the place where he struck, and in an instant, a pile of ice cubes more than a foot high gathered, reflecting the dazzling light of the pearl, emitting a mottled crystal.
At this time, the temperature in this underground forbidden room was definitely more than the scorching summer, and the ice cube slowly melted away, turning into a water stain on the ground, and finally dissipated little by little.
Seeing that Ah Huan was able to play ice cubes, his father-in-law slowly collected his skills and led Mingzhu to the mermaid candlestick on the mystery case.
After placing Mingzhu, his body also slid down from the side of the mystery case and sat down on the ground.
"Father-in-law......!" Ah Huan hurriedly stood up and went over to help him up.
"Huan'er, I'm fine, help you practice, it's just that your spiritual power consumes too much. Let me slow down, for there are many things that my father-in-law will explain to you......
"Father-in-law, you can rest first......!"
"Huan'er, it's been more than three days since our father and son entered this forbidden room, and tomorrow, the Ice Washing Festival will begin......"
"It's been three days?" Ah Huan only felt that he closed his eyes and opened his eyes, it turned out that three days had passed, no wonder his father-in-law was so tired.
"Huan'er, after the Ice Washing Festival begins tomorrow, you will enter the Ice Muscle God Tree to capture the sword spirit and obtain your own ice blade. Keep in mind that the level of the Ice Blade Sword Spirit is different, and with your current sevenfold exercises, you need to do what you can, and you don't necessarily have to ask for a high-grade spirit blade, but you must get one. ”
"So, I can't participate in the ice competition?"
"Yes, in the first three days of the Ice Washing Festival, only the celebration of the Ice Crackers was held. On the first day, the men who have just become adults perform the ceremony of weak crowns, and the women wash the ice and the ceremony of the hair. You're an adult, so you don't have to participate, and when your uncle opens the tree, you just have to go in. There are two days left in the next two days, both near the gate of the summit, performing the ice volleyball celebration handed down from ancient times, sliding couches, hanging statues and other plays, these are irrelevant, we don't need to pay attention to it. All you need to do is concentrate on the blade in the Ice Muscle God Tree. ”
"Father-in-law, your body ......" Ah Huan saw that his father-in-law's voice became weaker, worried that he would not be able to hold on.
"I'm not in good health, help me out, and go back to my room to rest for a few days. Huan'er, no matter what, my father-in-law will definitely help you survive the seven days of the Ice Washing Festival, so that you can go to retreat with peace of mind. After I return to the room in a while, you should also discuss some tactics with your guests, remember, this forbidden room can only be known by the masters of the Yu family in the past generations, and it is not allowed to be disclosed to others. ”
Ah Huan nodded: "Father-in-law, you can cultivate with peace of mind, it is related to the secret rise and fall of the Yu family, Ah Huan knows it in his heart, and he will never say it." ”
After Ah Huan helped his father-in-law to send him back to the room, he came directly to the front hall, and the Linglu girls and the others were discussing in the hall at this time.
"Ah Huan is out of customs? Oh, no, no, in a few days, I should change my name to the head of the Yu family. Master Yu, I haven't seen you for three days, and your magic and spiritual power have made great progress! Not to mention, when this walked in from the outside, it really looked a little bit like the head of the family! Ah Huan's father-in-law was not there, and Lu Xiuyuan began to talk to him with a hippie smile again.
"Where is it, Lu Gongzi, you are laughing."
"Ah Huan, I think what Lu Gongzi said is right, you have indeed changed in the past few days!" When Ah Huan had just entered the hall, Linglu had already noticed it.
"Really? Ling'er ...... Girl, Ah Huan has such a change, is it good? Ah Huan looked at Linglu directly, waiting for her to answer.
Linglu was stared at and questioned by him so directly, and she was a little unaccustomed to it, so she avoided his eyes, "Okay...... Of course it's a good ......."
"Cough, cough, Ah Huan, in the past few days when you are away, I have studied it with Lu Gongzi again, since we are helping you, we should take you as the main thing, while the sky is not completely dark, let's practice again."
Niu Chen spoke out at the right time to stop it, and everyone stopped laughing, and got together to discuss the details of the game.
