5. The way to sacrifice one's life [Countdown to 100 Watches 4/5]

Shen Qiu was here, but he didn't know that the famous singer in Suzhou City was calculating against him.

He was still taking a nap.

It is said that it is a nap, but in fact, it is a practice in a dream.

Shen Qiu had previously "fed" the phantoms of several bandits to Jian Yu's dream, and he had also thrown the phantoms of Xiaoxiang's disciples who died in his hands into the edge of the dream.

It is probably the quantitative change that caused the qualitative change.

After investing more than thirty phantoms, this sword jade dream realm also changed slightly.

It's still that gray background, and the internal rules are the same as before, but the speed of time between Kendama's dream and the outside world has changed.

According to Shen Qiu's estimation, the time flow rate of the previous dream was the same as that of the outside world, but after absorbing a number of phantoms, the time flow rate of the two slowed down to the level of 1:1.5.

That is, an hour in the outside world is equal to an hour and a half in a dream.

This surprised Shen Qiu.

On the one hand, he had more time to cultivate without being disturbed.

On the other hand, this proves that Jianyu seems to have some kind of mysterious "evolutionary" attribute, but Shen Qiu has not yet figured out this rule.

But even the change in the speed of time alone is enough of a surprise.

"There aren't many punching bags."

Shen Qiupan sat in the dream, looking at the phantom in front of him with some sorrow.

In the original bustling dream, there were only four figures left.

Mountain ghosts, Chengying Lao Dao, Lin Yundong, and the demon boy.

The first three are something that Shen Qiu can't deal with at the moment, and the last guy was projected in during the fight in Yanyu Building that night, and this guy's strength is average.

But the Vertical Movement Kung Fu is quite good, especially the Sword Jade Phantom is in its heyday.

Shen Qiu danced the Autumn Wind Knife, and it was difficult to cut the corner of the Demon Sect Prince's clothes in front of him.

His light skills are much higher than Shen Qiu's, and they are quite weird, like being drunk, swaying left and right, with strange steps, flickering left and right, flickering forward and backward, just like a tumbler.

And at this time, in the dream, there is no more "cannon fodder" that can be consumed to recharge, and the four phantoms in front of him are less than one challenge.

Shen Qiu naturally couldn't consume them before they were fully prepared.

In the past few days, he can only practice the inner strength of the mind in his dreams.

Fortunately, this dream realm was the most tranquil, allowing Shen Qiu to easily enter meditation and cultivation, and the efficiency was also a few points higher than that of the outside world.

"I had some ideas before, but now it's okay, so it's better to give it a try."

Shen Qiu finished operating the little Zhou Tian of the Xueji Mental Method, and felt the true cyclone of the lower dantian that already had the momentum of a big river.

In Xiaoxiang Sword Gate before, facing the demon helmsman of the Seven Peerless Gates, Shen Qiu was able to fight back to the limit when he was hit by the Soul Destroying Claw, because he used his "hole card".

That is, the explosion of true qi like suicide.

Everyone in the rivers and lakes will use this trick, but except for the level of really fighting to the death, absolutely no one will take the initiative to try this trick.

When he first learned internal skills, Qingqing repeatedly reminded him that this trick should be used with caution.

The eruption of true qi will exert extreme pressure on the meridian acupuncture points, and once you are unlucky, the meridians will be damaged and the acupuncture points will be damaged.

For those who practice martial arts, it is like becoming a waste.

But Shen Qiu used his true qi to explode, not once or twice, when he was still weak, in the face of Cha Bao, Lord Dutong's opponents, he could only use the true qi explosion as a killer weapon.

Even if he has some strength now, when challenging a powerful phantom, a burst of True Qi is a necessary means.

In other words, in the martial arts now, there is probably no one who is more familiar with the use of the killing move of True Qi Explosion than Shen Qiu.

Not just any one person has countless "lives" that can be wasted like this.

"100% True Qi burst is not a no."

Shen Qiu said while sensing the Xue Ji True Qi flowing in his body:

"But like the one in Xiaoxiang Sword Gate, most of the outbreaks broke out, leaving the last bit to calm the true qi riot, it's okay, and it turns out that my idea is feasible.

It's just that I have to practice for a long time, try many times, and then summarize a set of rules, which is my Shen Qiu's 'unique secret'. ”

He made up his mind and went inward.

He saw the movement route of the Xueji Mind Method in his body, and between the hundreds of acupuncture points lit up in his body, there was milky white true qi connected to each other.

There are cyclones at each acupuncture point, just like the reflection of the stars.

Shen Qiu would occasionally joke about it, calling it a "small universe".

He took a deep breath, then manipulated the true qi in his body, bypassed the 12 dead points, and mobilized all the cyclones in the remaining acupuncture points, pushing those Xueji true qi into the limbs and hundreds of remains.

"Bang"

A muffled sound came from Shen Qiu's body.

Those Xue Ji true qi that was lifted were like gasoline that was ignited in an instant, and from the neutral and peaceful state, it instantly became violent.

They roared and ran wildly through the meridians in Shen Qiu's body, increasing their speed by at least 10 times.

This kind of pressure is something that Shen Qiu's current mind can't bear at all.

At that moment when the violent true qi poured into his heart, Shen Qiu's heart burst through his chest like a bomb.

In the terrifying pain, he didn't even have time to spurt out a mouthful of blood, and his eyes went black.

In an instant, Shen Qiu was reborn from his dream.

He rubbed his rhythmic beating heart with some trepidation.

"Lethal dose..."

Shen Qiu breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he has died countless times in the dream, the feeling of death and body every time is still so clear and painful, maybe the simple blessing of pain will make people feel numb.

But the ultimate experience of death, which is painful, does not exist at all, and it is very vivid every time.

Shen Qiu would also be a little scared.

It seems that the true qi in Xiaoxiang Sword Gate exploded so much last time, and he didn't break his heart and died, purely because he practiced the fish intestine skill at that time, and he didn't break through enough acupuncture points.

The total amount of true qi is also small, and the pressure generated by the burst of true qi is also small, which allowed him to escape with his life.

It wasn't his luck.

It's just that his internal strength was poor at that time, so he escaped the disaster of death by mistake.

Shen Qiu calmed down and began the second attempt.

This time, he was much more cautious.

Not only did they bypass the dead points, but they also bypassed all 108 deadly acupoints, and out of the remaining more than 500 acupuncture points that had been opened, half of them were selected, that is, 250 interconnected acupoints.

These are the easiest acupuncture points to break away, and they can also be washed away with the Jianghu Heart Method.

"The second time..."

Shen Qiu took a deep breath and carefully mobilized the cyclones in the 250 acupuncture points, causing the true qi that flowed through each other to burst out and enter the limbs.

"Boom"

There was another thud.

But this time, both the sound and the movement are much smaller.

The True Qi became irritable, and it was also like ignited gasoline, running quickly in the meridian acupuncture points selected by Shen Qiu, and they drove the True Qi in Shen Qiu's body to run three points faster.

But at this time, the true qi flowed and rushed into the heart, and the pressure brought by it only made the beating of the heart a few points faster.

Shen Qiu's brows furrowed.

The pain coming from the meridians in the body is like a slight needle prick, and it can be endured.

He felt a surge of power surging over his body, his cheeks became ruddy and bloody, and there were bloodshots in his eyes, and he stood up to maintain this low-level true qi explosion.

He threw a punch in front of him.

"Bang"

The sound of wind and thunder suddenly appeared, like muffled thunder.

Nearly half as fast as he moved, a set of phantom footwork was used, making Shen Qiu's figure move back and forth in the dream, and even had a familiar feeling.

Just like that day, Lin Yundong sent the rich true qi into Shen Qiu's body.

There is already a shrinkage of the ground into an inch.

But the actual effect is still far behind.

"The speed is half faster, the strength is half more, the five senses are sharper, the pain also stimulates the reaction, as long as you can endure it, it is an all-round improvement!"

Shen Qiu gasped, he felt the consumption speed of the Xue Ji True Qi in his body, and after half a pillar of incense, Shen Qiu's True Qi was exhausted.

He raised his sword finger and pointed it neatly at the tip of his heart.

"Smack"

In the sound of his heart shattering, Shen Qiu's eyes darkened, and the next moment he was resurrected in a dream.

He jumped up and down and moved his body and said:

"It was a three-point strengthening just now, and the duration of the true qi was about half a pillar of incense, which is about 7 or 8 minutes. The more Xue Ji True Qi accumulates in the future, the longer the duration will be.

Very good! Continue, this time, the acupuncture points are increased to 400, which should still be able to withstand it. ”

Shen Qiu thought so, so he added another 150 to the original 250 acupuncture points, and as soon as it broke out, the previous situation reappeared.

When his heart burst, Shen Qiu fell to the ground in shock.

He came back to life for the third time.

Instead of trying immediately, he sat cross-legged on the ground and pondered the reasons for his failure.

"It stands to reason that the heart should be able to withstand it."

Shen Qiumo rubbed his chin and touched his heart, he said:

"Could it be that the acupuncture point was chosen wrong?

It seems that I can't choose an acupuncture point that is too close to the heart, nor too close to the dead acupoint, my acupuncture point is not warm enough, maybe in the future. ”

Shen Qiu's fingers tapped around his body, and he said:

"In the abdomen, chest, back and lower limbs, re-select 400, try again... Well, Xiao Tie's Iron Heart Determination also seems to rely on the intermittent rage of true qi to strengthen the lethality of the sword style. ”

Shen Qiu remembered Xiao Tie's heavy sword style, as well as the iron heart duel with the sword style.

He remembered that Xiao Tie had told him that the Iron Heart Decision was specially designed for the matching of the Canghai Sword Technique, and this Iron Heart True Qi was quite peculiar, and it operated like the tide of the sea, impacting wave after wave.

Every time the True Qi impacts, swinging the sword style can make the already fierce and ferocious sword style even more violent.

But the disadvantage is that if the Iron Heart is not deep and the True Qi is weak and unusable, then after a few swings of the sword, the True Qi in the body will dry up.

At that time, you can only rely on brute force to defend against the enemy.

This set of mental methods, and most of the true qi mental methods on the rivers and lakes that run smoothly, are completely two different ways.

But it just happens to be borrowed by the current Shen Qiu.

He began to check the Iron Heart Decision, this set of mental methods when he got along with Xiao Tie before, Shen Qiu relied on constantly breaking through the phantom of the Iron Boy.

The young man had brute strength, but the total amount of true qi was insufficient.

When Shen Qiu was against him, he only needed to move and dodge first, and wait for the Broken Iron True Qi to run out, and then he could calmly break it.

In other words, if others confront the iron boy, as long as they find a way to avoid the boy's most fierce "three-plate axe", they can calmly defeat the brute force boy.

However, Shen Qiu didn't think that anyone in the rivers and lakes could deal with the five-foot heavy sword with brute force and fierce blows.

Shen Qiu wanted to learn from the luck method of the Iron Heart Determination to achieve his own research on the outlaw trick of True Qi Explosion, but this matter would be inconclusive for a while.

He had to get acquainted with the way of luck in the Iron Heart.

Although the mental method of the young man who folded the iron is not as subtle as Xueji's mental method, it is not a general internal skill, and it is even more complicated than the primary fish intestine skill.

It's just that the way the true qi of that mental method works causes its scope of application to be too small.

If Shen Qiu also used heavy swords, or heavy weapons such as heavy axes, war hammers, and war spears, he might be able to give it a try.

"This mental method is so complicated, it is necessary to start practicing now, maybe at least a week."

Shen Qiu finished reading the number of the heart method of the Iron Heart Decision, he rubbed his chin, and thought:

"Perhaps, I should give this kung fu a name that only I can use now.

Deadly Strike? Burst clothes? Or is it called Infinite Breakthrough? No, no, it's too pompous and arrogant, so let's keep a low profile. ”

Shen Qiu rubbed his heart that was a little painful, he glanced at the knife in his hand, and said:

This move is like an assassin sacrificing his life to defeat the enemy with a single blow.

Let's call it 'Sacrifice and Death.'"

Speaking of which, my martial arts all come from copying and learning, just like people, this 'sacrifice decision' is also the first time to be original. ”

Thinking so, he estimated that the time was almost up, and withdrew from the dream.

This sacrifice is still just an empty shelf.

According to Shen Qiu's experience, the selection of acupuncture points when the True Qi erupts is also extremely important, and he has currently broken through more than 500 acupuncture points, and it will take many attempts to find out the acupuncture points of the Dantian that will not be sad after the outbreak.

Counting the time to get familiar with Tie Xindu, this set of "original kung fu" does not take more than half a month, and I am afraid it will not be perfected.

"It's hard at the beginning."

Shen Qiu slowly got up from the bed, stretched out his hands, stretched out his waist, and said:

"If you find the right way, it will go smoothly, and I can't say that it will become my unique skill in the future."

"Senior brother! Senior brother, have you fallen asleep? ”

Before Shen Qiu could be quiet for a while, the shouts of the young girl came from outside the door.

Shen Qiu responded a little helplessly, then got out of bed and put on his shoes, walked out of the room with the Hongming knife, and looked at the little junior sister who was always full of vitality all day long.

However, he found that Qingqing was holding a big red invitation in his hand.

"What is this?"

Shen Qiu asked in surprise.

"It's an invitation! Yanyulou sent someone to send it. ”

Qingqing gave the invitation to Shen Qiu in her hand, and she said:

"That beautiful little maid, said that she was the manager of Yanyu Building, and I am deeply sorry for the incident that you were attacked in Yanyu Building a few days ago.

So tonight, I invite you and me to go to Yanyu Tower to enjoy the singing and dancing, and apologize by the way.

Tonight, everyone Shen will perform in person. ”

Qingqing said with great interest:

"It's rare for ordinary people to see it."

Shen Qiu narrowed his eyes.

He didn't have much interest in ancient songs and dances, after all, he had seen too many demons dancing in his hometown, even if he was good-looking, could he be better than those ragged young ladies dancing majesticly?

And this smoke and rain building...

He hadn't forgotten the man in black who saved the Demon Cult Boy that night.

"I'm not going."

Shen Qiumo rubbed the invitation in his hand, and he said to Qingqing:

"We have to leave Suzhou tomorrow, and we still have a lot of things to pack, so we don't have time to go to the banquet."

"But the little maid said that after reading the invitation, the senior brother will definitely go to the banquet."

Qingqing was a little disappointed, but what the senior brother said made sense, she suddenly remembered what the maid had said to her just now, so she relayed it to Shen Qiu.

The latter opened the invitation in surprise and immediately narrowed his eyes.

The content is not unusual.

It's just this handful of beautiful words...

He's seen it!

It was the handwriting on the letter that sent the key information when Qingqing was taken away, and the familiar smell of fat powder.

"Okay, let's go for it."

Shen Qiu's mind was in a hurry, he put away the invitation, and glanced at Qingqing, who was full of surprise, and said:

"But you can't go!"
