Chapter 37: Self-portrait in the mirror
Life and death are common things in heaven and earth, and the path of cultivating the truth is slow and long, and we must always look forward.
Wen Shu buried her sadness in her heart, and vowed to practice hard not to disappoint her master, and then quickly cleaned up her emotions, and when the two of them returned to Wen Xuening's small courtyard, she no longer had any emotional outpouring on her.
There was a small episode during the period, on the way back, the two met Wen Ling, who had not shown up for a long time.
"I don't mean anything else, I just want to apologize to you seriously. ”
Wen Ling lowered his head, and there was no arrogance in his eyes:
"I'm sorry Xue Ning, I shouldn't have spoken coldly to you before, no matter whose daughter you are, we are all the same Wen family's children, with the same roots, we should watch and help each other, instead of looking down on you just because of our background, and jealous that you are more talented than me....."
These words were all taught by Wen Ziwen, in the past, he only focused on his own cultivation, but neglected the ideological education of his daughter, this time he found that his daughter almost had those bad thoughts, and hurriedly called her to a profound education.
He didn't scold her, he just patiently reasoned with her, the children of the same clan, one is prosperous, and the other is lost, Wen Xuening will achieve something in the future, as a fellow clan, won't she benefit?
In the same way, if a disciple of the same clan has an accident, he will cause trouble and implicate the family, and everyone will not be able to avoid it!
Wen Ling really realized her mistake this time, and also found that Wen Xuening was actually very measured, not only did she not care about her many times before, but later she repaid her grievances with virtue and saved herself and her family!
"I didn't take it to heart. ”
Wen Ling's apology surprised Wen Xuening, but she has always been magnanimous, Wen Ling is just a little cautious little girl, she didn't really make a move to hurt herself, she naturally didn't care.
"And ...... Last time, thank you!"
Wen Ling bowed deeply, stuffed a small box into Wen Xuening's arms, and ran away quickly with a red face......
In the box is Wen Ling's savings for many years, and for ordinary descendants, it is very sincere to take this out as an apology.
Wen Xuening unceremoniously stuffed things into the Qiankun bag.
Although this is nothing to her, no matter how thin the mosquito legs are, it is also meat, save it, use it to buy some accessories, combine it with the snow python skin hunted in the secret realm, and make an inner armor for Shu Shu!
Back to the yard.
Because he made an appointment to fight against Wen Zixuan at noon tomorrow, Wen Shu asked Wen Xuening for countermeasures.
During the big competition, she specially watched a few games with Wen Xuening, and most of Wen Zixuan's challengers were also disciples in the late stage of Qi training.
Wen Shu only felt that there was a sword light and sword shadow on the stage, although she was looking hard, she couldn't see any way, she only felt that both sides of the battle were agile and fast!
The duel with Wen Zixuan present is generally very exciting, you come and go, and the fire is shining!
After all, the strength and cultivation of both sides are there.
The competition between disciples who are not as good as those who are not highly cultivated, or who have a huge difference in strength between the two, is usually over before the onlookers can see it clearly.
Unlike Wen Shu, Wen Xuening watched almost the entire process of the family competition, even the number of games in the foundation building period, and she was also quietly allowed to study and observe on the sidelines.
Wen Xuening looked very carefully, while pondering and speculating on the tricks used by the two in the audience, while comparing them with what she had learned, verifying each other, learning from each other's strengths, and after the big competition ended, Wen Xuening benefited a lot.
She does have a supreme inheritance in her body, and she is already a monk in the late stage of foundation building, but most of her understanding and experience of combat tricks before her are still theoretical, because in order to hide her strength, in addition to being with Wen Shu, most of the time she can only practice and ponder by herself.
Even though she had fought against many demon beasts in the secret realm before, the demon beasts did not have a high IQ, and most of them only knew how to use brute force, and did not know what tactics were at all, so she did not have much experience to provide when fighting human monks.
Although Wen Xuening's kendo talent is very good, she is still only a fledgling, only thirteen years old.
She has not yet stepped out of the novice village and seen the vastness of the world, although she has the cultivation of the late stage of foundation building, but if she compares it with those monks who fought out of the blood mountains and sea of blood, the gap is still very large.
In this big competition, Wen Xuening was very happy to watch the competition between different sword cultivators or sword cultivators, which expanded her horizons.
"Wen Zixuan's sword is in the word treacherous, the swordsmanship is good at maneuvering tricks, sleek and elegant, at first glance I just think it looks good, and even a little fancy, but if you look closely, you will find that you can't guess where his sword blade will appear in a second. ”
Wen Xuening recalled several battles she had seen before, and at the same time seriously analyzed with Wen Shu:
"Although I have no experience in fighting against him, but judging from the many battles, most of the losing side is too anxious when breaking the barrier, and it is easy to be led by his nose. ”
"But after all, it's a fight, and he can't hide all the time, although he suppressed his cultivation at the sixth layer of Qi training, but the spiritual energy reserves in the sea of qi are still at the level of the peak of the Qi training period, he has more experience than you, and he lasts longer than spiritual power, and you can't compare. ”
Wen Xuening touched her chin and thought for a while:
"I believe that Wen Zixuan has also seen the number of fights with you before, and he must already know your tricks well, it is difficult to win, but if you just want to lose better, it is not impossible, but Shu Shu, you need to come up with a little new trick to do it. ”
"Think about it. ”
Wen Shu frowned and thought about it, there were too many things in her head, which were stored in the brain's hard drive like an archive, and she would retrieve the information when she needed it.
Most of them need to reach at least the foundation building period and match the soul painting method before they can be learned.
There are too few suitable for the Qi refining period.
Fortunately, she has now cultivated the sixth layer of qi, and the spiritual power reserves in the qi sea are many times more than at the beginning, although there are very few spells suitable for the qi refining period in her mind, but if you think about it carefully, you can always find a few.
"There it is!"
Wen Shu was happy in her heart, her hard work paid off, she finally found a spell that was extremely useful and could be learned by herself now!
This spell, to be precise, is actually an illusion that can only be learned during the foundation building period, but it does not necessarily need to be combined with the mental spell to be cast.
Although it can be used with the mental method to make it work better and last longer, if there is really no mental method, just with spiritual power, it can also be used.
It's just that it doesn't last much, and there are extremely strict requirements for the caster's ability to control spiritual power and painting attainments!
But these gentlemen can do it.
It's called "Mirroring." ”
As the name suggests, it is as if there is a mirror opposite you.
Condense spiritual power with a paintbrush and draw another self, this technique is mostly used to confuse the enemy, so that the other party can't tell which is their true body, so as to achieve a surprise effect!
It is very suitable for the current Wenshu.
As for the effect of the "Mirror Technique", it is related to the cultivator's own cultivation.
Like Wen Shu now, it is only in the Qi training period, although he can successfully conjure up a person who is exactly the same as himself, but this "person" is indeed just a virtual phantom, which can only be used to confuse the enemy, but does not have any aggressiveness and strength.
But if she successfully builds the foundation after that, and then uses this trick, this "person" can carry a certain amount of defense, and can resist some damage for her body!
When she reaches the Jindan stage, this "person" can even use part of her body's abilities, like the doppelganger technique in the Hokage, to fight with herself!
When she reached the Yuan Infant Stage, she could even use the ability of the Great Power of Transformation in advance, and put a part of her divine consciousness on this phantom!
However, the person who is conjured up by the "Mirror Technique" has no mind of her own, and in the final analysis, she is always just a phantom of spiritual power condensation.
Nature can't always exist.
The duration of the phantom's existence is also related to Wen Shu's cultivation, the higher her cultivation, the more abundant her spiritual power reserves, and the longer this "helper" can exist!
