The next morning, Yang Keming woke up from meditation. After a night of cultivation, he was pleasantly surprised to find that the qi and spiritual consciousness in his body had become more surging.

Walking out of the door, Yang Keming shouted while moving his muscles and bones: "Qin Kai, Tianshu, get up!"

Cheng Tianshu stretched his waist and walked out of the door, and said with sleepy eyes: "Yang Keming, what are you calling blind in the morning?

"Still dreaming of spring, no matter how many tiger whips like this, it won't be enough for you to make up for it!"

"What do you know? This is called 'sharpening knives and cutting wood'!" Cheng Tianshu looked at Yang Keming and said suspiciously: "Huh, I think you are very energetic? You don't look injured at all." ”

"Of course, I didn't have those energy-consuming dreams. ”

"Come less, maybe you are still in your dream with your sister Mu Zhi...... Hey, hey, hey!"

Yang Keming hurriedly said: "Don't talk nonsense, I meditated all night last night, how can I have that idle time!"

"Meditated all night?" Cheng Tianshu closed his mouth in surprise when he heard this, and said, "What a pervert, won't you feel tired?"

"Tired, how can meditation be tiring?"

Qin Kai said: "Ke Ming, I know that you are working hard, but you can't be in a hurry about cultivation. With your and my cultivation, we can't do the operation of the body's chemical qi and do the weekly circulation, so we still have to rest. ”

"Run the body's chemical qi to do a weekly circulation?"

Qin Kai explained: "Yes, running the Qi and doing the Zhou Tian cycle can not only relieve the fatigue of the body, but also improve the cultivation, and the benefits are self-evident. But that can only be achieved by cultivators in the realm of Qi Condensation and Might, and now our spiritual consciousness is not strong enough, and we can't gather qi, let alone operate, and too much meditation is harmful and useless. ”

"This ......"

Yang Keming suddenly realized, knowing that what Qin Kai said about running the Qi and doing the Zhou Tian cycle was exactly what he had been doing. I suddenly remembered that Yang Wenyao had said that this Fa would benefit him immensely in his life, but now it seems that it is true. He sighed in his heart: "This strong wind swimming in the sea can not only strengthen the qi, but also expand the spiritual sense, and can also relieve fatigue, which can be said to kill multiple birds with one stone." Such a powerful exercise was actually created by my father, and my father is really a genius who is unique in ten thousand!"

After thinking twice, he decided not to reveal the matter to the two for the time being, so he said, "Okay, I'll pay attention to it later." ”

The morning class was the same as usual, the bell rang and everyone went to the cafeteria and school building.

Cheng Tianshu and Qin Kai stepped forward and said, "Yang Keming, are you two going to eat?" ”

Yang Keming shook his head and said, "Forget it, you guys go first, I have something to do with Mu Zhi." ”

Qin Kai said, "What's the matter?"

"Don't ask so much, kids. Cheng Tianshu pulled Qin Kai away, and said with a knowing expression: "You are busy with yours, don't worry about us!"

Yang Keming couldn't laugh or cry, but he didn't bother to defend himself.

Mu Zhi was puzzled: "Brother Keming, what are we going to do?"

Yang Keming took out the piece of Qi Crystal he obtained yesterday from his bosom and said, "I'm going to Baohua Pavilion." ”

Not far from the Qi Ling Pavilion, the Baohua Pavilion and the Qi Ling Pavilion contain countless elixirs and weapons and armor, which is both Fengling's medicine box and Bac Ninh's arsenal. Fengling students can buy or exchange the required elixir magic weapons here, and can also sell their personal belongings. In addition, there are some rare treasures hidden in the Baohua Pavilion.

"Brother Ming, do you want to exchange the Qi Crystal for something?"

Yang Keming nodded: "I want to change a spiritual artifact." ”

After watching the duel between Li Changge and Xu Zhan yesterday, Yang Keming was greatly touched by the ten-sharpened sword and Panjiao stick of the two, and he found that weapons could greatly improve the actual combat ability of cultivators, which was exactly what he urgently needed. Before coming, Yang Keming had already inquired, and a piece of the Qi Crystal of the Soul Transformation Beast could just be exchanged for a spiritual weapon.

Mu Zhi thought for a while and said, "In my opinion, it's better to keep this Qi Crystal first, and then refine and absorb it after you reach the realm of Guiyuan and Enter the Sea, which will help you improve your cultivation." ”

"But I feel like I need a parasitic weapon more now. ”

Seeing Yang Keming's firm attitude, Mu Zhi nodded and said, "Okay, the spirit parasitor is also a good choice." With it, you can get a lot of help in the future, whether you are fighting against people or practicing in the Forgotten Forest. ”

The two of them walked in the direction of Baohua Pavilion.

Baohua Pavilion is a three-story building, compared with the magnificence of the Dharma Teaching Building, this place looks quaint and **. At this moment, it was dinner, and the front door of Baohua Pavilion was deserted, revealing a murderous atmosphere.

In the open space in front of the door stands a huge stone stele, the stele is about two zhang wide, more than four zhang high, the stele surface is made of black jade slabs, and some golden words are engraved on it. The surface has been eroded by wind and rain and is no longer smooth, and it seems to have existed for a long time, covered with traces of time.

It was the first time Yang Keming saw such a huge stone tablet, and he couldn't help but be attracted by the words written on it. Approaching the stone monument and looking up, I saw that it was written:

Myojin Fu

The wind and sand bury the soul of the soap flag, and the purple flute is not born when you hear the song.

The male and female double rings urge life, and they cherish the killing of people and their hands.

The coffin of the soul is now mourning, and the dragon whips the phoenix.

The fire luan fanned the ossified ashes, and the thousand slaughter blades removed the flesh and made mud.

The sky is boundary, and the plague is incinerating.

Autumn water is a long-term life and death system, and the hundred Ergin cocoon reincarnates the enemy.

The mirage dances the fairy dream, and the axe swings the sky.

Reapply the other body with a hundred umbrellas, and condense the two swords into one.

The mustard seed pot is in Sumeru, and it is difficult for the gods to leak the heavens.

I only heard that someone is hiding in the mountains and seas, and I don't know who can cut the day and night.

The handwriting is vigorous and powerful, and every stroke is like a dragon flying and a phoenix dancing, as if it contains infinite power.

Yang Keming silently recited it several times in his heart, and for no reason he had a trace of respect for the words on the stele, and wondered: "Mu Zhi, what does the poem on this stele mean?"

Mu Zhi has lived in the Tianyang Empire since she was a child, and she is naturally more knowledgeable than Yang Keming, explaining: "The inscription on this tablet is called'Ming Shen Fu', the author is unknown, it has been circulated in the Jiuxia Continent for thousands of years, and every sentence of it is describing a Ming artifact, a total of eighteen pieces, and most of the treasures in various countries can be seen in this poem. ”

"Eighteen Ming artifacts?" Yang Keming counted against the stone tablet and said, "What do the last two sentences mean, 'I only heard that someone is hiding in the mountains and seas, and I don't know who can cut the day and night'?"

Mu Zhi shook her head: "I also asked my father the same question when I first met 'Mingshen Fu', but he didn't know either. ”

"Even Uncle Bai doesn't know?" Yang Keming was very surprised, and said, "Presumably, these Ming artifacts are very powerful!"

Mu Zhi nodded and said, "These Ming artifacts have existed for tens of thousands of years, and each of them is an extremely powerful magic weapon, with the power to destroy the world and destroy the world. However, in my opinion, the terrible thing about these artifacts is not their power, but the disasters that cause them. ”

"What does that mean?"

"For thousands of years, countries have caused countless wars over these artifacts, causing hundreds of millions of innocent people to be separated and even lose their lives. But those powerful cultivators are still happy to do it, and they will do everything to chase the artifact, and they will treat human life like a mustard. Therefore, the power of these artifacts is terrifying, but it is not worth mentioning compared to the human heart. ”

Yang Keming sighed lightly, how could he not know the horror of the human heart? After thinking about it, he said, "Could it be that there is also an artifact in this Baohua Pavilion?"

Mu Zhi smiled bitterly: "How is it possible? The Ming artifact is tantamount to a life-urging charm for a small country like Beining, once the news leaks, it will inevitably attract siege and robbery from major powers." Although there have been cases in history where small countries have held Ming artifacts, most of them have not ended well. The light ones will have to pay for the treasure compensation, cut the land and pay taxes, and the heavy ones will even have to ......"

"How?"

Mu Zhi hesitated for a moment and said, "The heavy ones will even have to bear the disaster of slaughtering the country!"

"Slaughter?"

Yang Keming gasped when he heard this.

Mu Zhi continued: "The size of the five great powers is not comparable to those small countries, and besides, they all possess Ming artifacts, and the strength and number of cultivators are not at the same level. The destruction of a small country is a gesture for a large country, and it is more than happy to do so. ”

Yang Keming was silent and fell into deep contemplation.

In the face of absolute strength suppression, any moral etiquette is so vulnerable. Hit you can for resources, money and land. It can also be just because you hiccup and fart. If you want to survive, becoming stronger is the only way out. However, on the way to becoming stronger, in order to compete for limited resources, it is inevitable to participate in battles and killings. The path of cultivation is endless, and the killing is endless. It's like a vicious circle in which everyone struggles to survive.

"Could it be that the meaning of a cultivator's existence is destruction?"

Yang Keming was puzzled, so he had to smile bitterly, and suddenly remembered what Yang Wenyao had said to him.

"Small art refining body, great avenue cultivation of the mind, but what is the great avenue?"

"Brother Keming, what are you thinking?"

Yang Keming came back to his senses at this time: "Oh, it's nothing, let's go in." ”
