The patriarch of Huahai Village asked with some puzzlement, "The idea is very good, but how should we do it? Could it be that you want our two villages to learn the exercises left by our ancestors?"

Qingshan's plan is to let everyone practice the pioneering energy passed down from their ancestors, not only to teach the people of Lu Village, but also to the people of Huahai Village. There are more than 900 clansmen in the two villages, excluding the old and weak, women and children, among whom there are about 300 able-bodied men who can go out to fight in the mountains, and all of them have to practice. According to Qingshan's estimates, there are about 50 people who can finally train to become a mountain leader.

Kaishan Jin is a set of secret exercises, and the pursuit is far beyond the strength of ordinary people. It also pays attention to meditation and practice, and the body and mind enter an experience similar to the initial realm, sensing the flow of qi and blood throughout the body, but more importantly, it is usually diligent and hard-working, exercising and boiling the muscles and bones in a very hard and focused state.

This is a kind of conscious active exercise, which is different from the passive consumption of physical strength in labor, and it is necessary to maintain a clear consciousness and carefully perceive the changes in the body during the exercise, especially the new "emergent" power. Not everyone can take this step, even if most people exercise for a lifetime, they may be stronger than ordinary people, but they can't practice the strength of the mountain.

If this kind of power is obtained, then there are even more advanced exercises that guide the cultivator to operate this power, repeatedly refining the form, and mastering the power that can be operated and activated, so that it is difficult for others to believe that the power is actually emitted by flesh and blood, and when cultivated to the extreme, they can even attack the enemy externally. For example, if someone is standing against a wall, and the master punches the wall on the other side, the strength can penetrate the wall and hurt people.

This kind of kung fu is called Wuding Gong by the ancestors of Lu Village, and it is the highest state of mountain development.

In the eyes of a great master like Zhu Ming, the physical and mental state presented by Wu Ding Gong is similar to the consummation of the two realms and nine transformations, but it requires unremitting hard practice all year round, otherwise this skill will be lost. Practicing the practice of opening the mountain is similar to the process of a monk entering the initial realm, but this is not the initial realm in the strict sense.

The path to heaven has eight layers, nine turns, and seventy-two steps, and the ultimate goal is to live forever. Regardless of whether the practitioner's goal is immortality or not, the physical and mental states of each realm exist, and people can verify it through cultivation. And cultivating the strength of the mountain seems to be hard, it takes countless sweat and hard work, and it takes perseverance all year round, but in Zhu Ming's eyes, it is a shortcut.

Most of those who can train to become a pioneer were originally unable to step into the initial realm. Maybe it's because diligence can make up for it, or maybe it's because the pursuit of this set of secrets is another goal, so in the long-term and focused hard practice, you can get an experience similar to the first realm, and even go on to obtain the cultivation equivalent to the second realm. But this kind of exercise is the limit of cultivating to the realm of martial arts, and it is impossible to break through it further.

Zhu Ming had long seen that cultivating the Pioneer Spirit was a dead end that would always take a different path, and if people's purpose was to pursue great power, it would be okay to cultivate it. However, if you wear out too much when exercising your muscles and bones, or if you overuse your strength after training to open the mountain, and exceed what your flesh and blood can bear, you will leave a hidden danger of internal injury, and it is not only rare to live a long life, but may even die violently.

Zhu Ming had pointed out these to Qingshan, and gave more intelligent guidance to the tribes in this area, so Lu Shan did not pass on this skill again. But today, because of the change in the situation, Qingshan finally changed his decision, the survival of the clan is the top priority, and the hidden danger of the clan's cultivation of the mountain is the second problem.

Qingshan explained in detail to the Huahai patriarch the origin of the inheritance of Kaishan Jin and the characteristics of the exercises, and the Huahai patriarch was surprised and delighted: "It turns out that the mountain master still has such a secret inheritance, so Fangcai's plan can be realized...... There are hidden dangers in practicing the strength of the mountain, and we must make it clear to the clansmen that as long as we do not overuse that powerful force, it will not cause irreparable internal injuries. ”

Qingshan muttered: "After a long period of diligent cultivation, they have finally gained a strength far beyond ordinary people, who doesn't want to have the feeling of using it freely? ...... Tomorrow, we will gather all the middle-aged men in the clan and let them practice the introductory exercises of opening the mountain. ”

Granny Shui suddenly interjected: "Is it still only men who can practice? Is this the ancestral training, or is it your own meaning?"

Qingshan smiled bitterly: "Since ancient times, the strength of the mountain has been passed on to men and not to women. The cultivation of this exercise is too hard, and after the strength is practiced, it is too strong, and it is indeed not suitable for women to practice. Not only is it difficult for women to practice Kaishan Jin, but it is also more harmful to the body, and the ancestors certainly did it for a reason. ”

Shui Gu sneered: "I still remember what you said back then-how can a woman cultivate the strength of opening the mountain? I'm afraid that in the end, she will become neither male nor female!"

Shui Gu's temper is very strong, she knows that there is an ancestral pioneering spirit in the clan, and she once wanted to study it, maybe she didn't really want to practice this secret method, she just wanted to refer to it. But she was rejected by Qingshan back then, and she has been haunted by this matter, and she is still turning over old accounts to this day.

The patriarch of Huahai understood, it turned out that there was such a festival between the two, and he hurriedly persuaded him: "Granny Shui, the words of the mountain master are very reasonable, I just heard about the secret method, and the mountain opening is indeed not suitable for women to practice, and the mountain master also cared about you back then." Besides, not only you, but no one has taught it over the years, because there are great hidden dangers in this exercise. You are now a master of the Five Realms, so why bother with such a trivial matter back then?"

Shui Gu snorted and said, "I also know that it is not suitable for women's practice, I was just interested and wanted to study and study back then." After opening my mouth to ask for help, I realized that in the eyes of the Qingshan Patriarch, I was no different from the other women in the clan. ”

Qingshan smiled bitterly and didn't know what to say, so the Huahai Patriarch had to smile and perfunctory: "How can you be an ordinary woman, but the most outstanding woman in this wilderness!"

Qingshan nodded again and again, Shui Gu's face was a little better-looking, and he said to the Huahai Patriarch: "The mountain opening strength requires long-term diligent cultivation, and three hundred middle-aged men are also the most important laborers in the two clans of you and me, it is impossible to cultivate all the mountain opening strength without doing anything else, in this case, we can't bear it." ”

Organizing the clansmen to cultivate the Pioneer Strength on a large scale is considered by others to be a needless exertion of physical strength without work, and it is a great exertion, which will make the strongest adult man exhausted every day, and he needs far more food and nutrients than usual. On the one hand, all the strong labor has been freed from labor, and on the other hand, it has added more burden of support than usual, and it is impossible for Lu Village and Huahai Village to afford it, and Granny Shui's worries are very reasonable.

Aoyama muttered: "In the past few years, the products of the two villages have been much richer than before, and we have a lot of reserves at present, which we can barely do in a short period of time. Three hundred people could not practice the mountain opening strength at the same time, so they were divided into three groups and practiced in turn, each group practiced the mountain opening energy for a month, and the other two groups stepped up hunting and farming. In fact, ordinary work is also a way to exercise qi, blood, muscles and bones, which can be interspersed with exercises. ”

The Huahai patriarch added: "If within a year, those who can't practice the strength of the mountain, then they don't have to practice anymore. In this year, the clansmen who have become the strength of the mountain are specially gathered and let the mountain master command them to drill the military formation. ”

Although Shui Gu and Qingshan are going through old accounts today, they can still be separated from the serious things, and she also suggested: "While practicing the strength of opening the mountain, you can also drill the military formation by the way." Even if most of these 300 people can't train to open the mountain, they have also undergone military formation training, and they can also line up to fight in an emergency. During this time, I supervised the clansmen to build armor and equipment, and the refining of some artifacts is probably only done by me. ”

Qingshan said: "I will do it with you, break through the four realms and release the ability to refine artifacts with mana, and now only you and I have such skills among the two clans." ”

Shui Gu glared at him and said: "How many years have passed, why has your temper not changed? What is there to always think that you can do it alone! Not only do you have to lead the clansmen to cultivate the strength of opening the mountain, but also have to drill the military formation, and you have to keep an eye on the movements of Youyu Village and Ba Yuan, can you be busy, and you are not afraid of exhausting yourself to death? The matter of refining utensils, there is no need to discuss, I will be responsible for it alone!"

The patriarch of the flower sea played a round on the side and said: "It's a pity that my cultivation is low, and I don't have the magic power of refining weapons. But ordinary utensils don't have to be worried about by Granny Shui, I will supervise the people to build them with their hearts, and Granny Shui only needs to be responsible for the last and most critical steps. ”

Qingshan and Shuigu did have "something" back then, if it weren't for this, they would have become a couple long ago. When Qingshan was very young, he was interested in Shuigu, but the old patriarch at that time did not agree with Qingshan marrying Shuigu.

The reason is not complicated, not only because the primitive clan at that time had begun to intermarry with foreign clans as much as possible, and the cases of intermarriage with the same clan and surname were becoming less and less; more importantly, the priest of the Qingshui clan had come to Lu Village to propose marriage, and he was optimistic about Shuigu, and the old patriarch hoped that Shuigu would marry into the Qingshui clan.

Qingshan was angry, so he left the village to go to Ba Yuan, and before leaving, he claimed that he must make a name for himself and become the lord of a city in Ba Yuan, with the title of **. And Shui Gu's temperament is also strong, even if she doesn't agree to marry into the Qingshui clan, the old patriarch can't help it, and Shui Gu has broken through the three realms of cultivation at this time, and no one can force her to do anything.

After another three years, Aoyama returned. He did not become the lord of a city in Ba Yuan, but only experienced wars and strife. Interestingly, Qingshan had long known that Shuigu would not marry the priest of the Shimizu clan, and the two of them were still a pair of course, which is why they came back so quickly. Then Qingshan became the new patriarch of Lu Village, and decided his own affairs.

When Qingshan left the village, of course Shui Gu looked forward to Aoyama's return, but after Aoyama returned, Shui Gu ignored him again. It may be that he hated Qingshan for leaving her alone and left like this, and he actually didn't kidnap her and elope with her! Qingshan said a lot of words to please and coax, but Shui Gu put forward a request, wanting to practice the ancestral pioneering strength of the clan.

At this time, the Aoyama patriarch was unhappy to refuse the water girl on the side, because the mountain god had clearly said at that time that this cardigan actually had some drawbacks, and the girl was not suitable for cultivation, so it was really inappropriate to forcibly cultivate like this.

After Qingshan returned to the village, of course, he asked Shui Gu to marry again, because of the previous pimple, Shui Gu said: "Aren't you self-righteous? It's okay if you don't become a city lord in Ba Yuan, but what you said back then will count, and I'll wait - wait for you to break through the Six Realms and marry you." ”

This is a long time, and it didn't take many years for Qingshan to break through the Five Realms and cultivate to the Nine Realms Consummation, but after the Five Realms and Nine Transformations Consummated, he couldn't break through the Six Realms for a long time, so he waited until today, and in the end, no one could figure out who was waiting for whom.

The patriarch of Huahai is a native of another village and a descendant, and now most of the people in Lu Village are no longer aware of this hidden situation, and he is even more unaware, so today he saw Granny Shui and Shan Ye turning over old accounts, and he was puzzled for a while.

......

After a few people discussed and decided, they organized all the middle-aged men in the clan to divide into three groups, one group practiced the mountain opening strength every day, and the other two groups also stepped up their work. The introductory kung fu of Kaishan Jin is very difficult, all of which are overloaded strength and endurance exercises, even the strongest men are tired at the end of the day, and then there is a secret method of sitting and pranayama to restore their energy.

Before the first level, many people will be eliminated, because some people will not be able to grasp the state of meditation and pranayama, and they will not be able to continue practicing this exercise the next day. The mountain master asked this part of the people to concentrate on the military formation separately, and then change to another group in a month. In this way, a year passed, and almost all the middle-aged men in the clan were tired and thin, but most of them became stronger and stronger.

Qingshan's judgment based on the experience of his ancestors was correct, and fifty-one of the more than 300 middle-aged men in the two villages eventually became the ones who had become a mountain-starter, and Aoyama gathered these people together to specialize in cultivation, and at the same time drilled the most elite military formations. As for the others, there is no need to continue the needless hard training, so they return to their daily work.

In the course of the year, the life of the two tribes was very hard, not to mention the men in the prime of life who were tired and half dead every day, and the food of the others was not as abundant as before, because there were fewer people to work, and the men in the prime of life needed more provisions, so that a year of persistence was the limit, and even the reserves of the two tribes were almost exhausted.

Fortunately, the purpose of the mountain master was finally achieved, not only did more than 300 middle-aged men take turns to receive military training, but also gathered fifty-one powerful soldiers who had trained to open the mountain. The number may seem small, but it is close to the limit of what these two villages can support for a long time. It is in this primitive tribe that the people endure the most arduous tempering day after day, without complaint or dissent.

If we change the place, the era, and the environment, even if we use the same method, it is absolutely impossible for so many people among the more than 300 middle-aged men to become the starting spirit, and it is good to be able to train 50 out of 3,000 people.

......

The time when the two clans began this big move was not long after Baoyu found the ruins of Taihao. The place where the clansmen take turns to cultivate the strength of the mountain is the open flat land from outside the road village to the edge of the cliff. The adults were busy, and a child as young as Baoyu couldn't help, so no one paid much attention to him.

Three years have passed, and the elite military formation of the Qingshan Drill has been completed, and he brought this group of people to the central valley to garrison, no matter when Youyu Village attacks, Lu Village and Huahai Village can deal with it at any time. Most of these fifty-one people have only practiced the Pioneering Spirit, and about ten of them have become more advanced in martial arts and have initially mastered martial arts, but of course they have not cultivated to the extreme in just a few years.

They usually work in the Central Valley, but they insist on practicing the mountain opening strength every day, and if they don't practice for too long, their skills will gradually fade.

Baoyu asked the adults what the clansmen were doing? Granny Shui told him that the mountain master was teaching people to practice and build an elite battle formation, and Baoyu was too young to join it. In fact, in Granny Shui's mind, she didn't plan to let such an outstanding child as Baoyu also cultivate the Pioneering Spirit in the future, and when he was about the same age, she still had to try to guide him to really enter the initial realm.

The same question, Baoyu also asked the mountain god. Zhu Ming told him that the mountain master was training his troops to prevent unexpected conflicts and to better protect his clansmen. The mountain god also told Baoyu that the mountain opening strength practiced by the Qingshan Sect was actually very similar to the exercises used by the monarch of Ba Guo to train elite guards in the early years, and the cultivation process was very arduous, and it was not easy to practice.

Zhu Ming knew the hidden dangers of opening the mountain, he himself did not teach Baoyu any other secret exercises, of course, he would not teach him the opening of the mountain, but only explained the principle of his cultivation. Kaishan Jin may be a shortcut to "take a trick", which can obtain some magical effects similar to the first or second realm, feel the operation of power in the focused hard training, and then refine the body to pursue strong power.

Zhu Ming also told Baoyu very clearly that these people had not really entered the initial realm, and if they wanted to continue to break through the three realms in the future, they needed to go back and start again from the initial realm, because they had not realized the origin of that path. But then again, if these people had been able to break through the initial realm and cultivate, the mountain master wouldn't have taught them to cultivate the mountain in such a way.

Because he came into contact with such topics, Baoyu had more and more problems, many of which had nothing to do with cultivation, and Zhu Ming began to tell him more and more things. For example, the situation of the tribes in the mountains, including the demon villages that are located in remote areas and have little contact with foreigners. The mountain god also talked about Ba Yuan outside the mountain, the ancient country of Ba and the civil strife and strife in recent times, and Baoyu listened to it as a story.

Baoyu has not yet walked out of this wilderness, but he has learned a lot of things outside the mountain in the ruins of Taihao. Zhu Ming not only wanted to let this child understand the natural way of heaven and earth in his cultivation, but also let him understand all things in the world as he grew up. Of course, Baoyu also heard the story of Ba Yuan Qisha and Ba Yuan Jiuqiu, and was very curious and fascinated.

But Zhu Ming did not tell Baoyu that he was Qingsha, let alone that his name was Zhu Ming and that he was the ancestor of the Qingshui clan, and Baoyu only knew that he was a mountain god. Baoyu also asked the mountain god why the Qingshui clan disappeared overnight, and the mountain god told Baoyu not to ask this question for the time being, and when he could, someone would tell him.

The communication between these two people is quite special, because Zhu Ming never shows up and only uses his thoughts, and in Baoyu's mind, he is facing the mountain god who has been worshiped by his clan since he was a child. When the mountain god told him not to ask certain questions again, of course he didn't go any further.

Just a month and a half after Baoyu officially broke through the Three Realms, he and Pan Gu once again quietly came to the Taihao Ruins. In the past, he would peel out two lotus seeds, eat one for himself, and eat one for the feeding pan, and those lotus pods fished out of the water were always placed on the white jade altar. If you don't eat lotus seeds, you will dig a lotus root stem, which is Pan Gu's favorite thing to do.

But whether it is eating lotus seeds or digging lotus roots, you must ask the consent of the mountain god in advance. This time, there was another glowing Langyu fruit on the white jade altar, and after Baoyu took his seat, he casually asked: "Mountain god, can this glowing fruit also be eaten?"

This casual question actually stopped the mountain god, and Zhu Ming replied after a while: "Of course this fruit can be eaten, but it can't be eaten like other fruits, it is condensed by the essence of heaven and earth." ”

The idea is accompanied by an explanation, the so-called Jinghua Qi, formless, qualitative, invisible, is the vitality of all things in heaven and earth, and comes from the breath of living beings in heaven and earth. There may be places where there are no living beings, but there are environments and conditions that give birth to living beings, and if they happen by chance over a long period of time, living beings will appear. When living beings appear, people can feel this breath along with the natural evolutionary process.

Emperor Taihao once left a set of secret methods to inherit, which is called Jinghua Jue, which specializes in the vigorous vitality and the ultimate realm pursued by the pursuit of endless vitality. The path to heaven has eight layers, nine turns, and seventy-two steps, and I don't know how many years it will take to break through all the hurdles all the way, not only need various opportunities in cultivation, but also need a long life of youth, otherwise it will be dead before the end, and it will be empty after all.

The Jinghua Jue itself may not be a secret method that directly guides people to the path to heaven, but it contains the mystery of Immortal TV. As the cultivation level is higher, the monk's longevity will last longer than ordinary people, but as long as he does not cross the path to heaven, there will be an end after all. Those who cultivate the Essence Essence are actually cultivating their own vitality, and they have a longer youth and lifespan than the same cultivators.

Zhu Ming didn't tell Baoyu that he had taught Qingshan and Shuigu a set of secrets, which was Jinghua Jue. Both of them have already started their cultivation, but they have not yet reached the state of attainment, and they do not know the name of this set of formulas.

Although the mountain god didn't say anything, how could Baoyu not ask if he wanted to get this kind of power? So he then asked, "What is the use of these glowing fruits?" Do they also have an effect on our cultivation? If so, then how should we eat them?

Zhu Ming was silent, Lang Yu Guo is known as the elixir of immortality, of course he can take it, but the genius subsistence often has his own rules for using it, and it is not possible to refine this kind of power realm if it is not enough, how can he take Thailand with his current realm? This is not a matter of waste or not, if you use it if you don't advance to the next level, it is very dangerous.
