18. One side of the world
After death, the body decomposes, the flesh and skin die, but the bones can be preserved for a long time, especially the skull, which is different, and the brain essence is stored during life, and it can be recognized after death.
The yellow and white skull that suddenly appeared in front of Qi Mu was different from ordinary skulls, eerie and terrifying, and its eye sockets were obviously empty, but it made people look very scared. As soon as he fell, he saw this skull, and he was so frightened that he held his breath for a while, unable to speak, and then the buzzing above his head continued, and Qi Mu's heart sank: It's over, I'm going to be eaten by these flying insects!
Qi Mu had closed his eyes and was ready to die, but he only heard the sound, but there was no change, and he couldn't help but look up, only to see a cloud of flying insects hovering above his head, but they didn't fall. Don't you eat me? Qi Mu's spirit eased and he exhaled a breath, but the group of flying insects fell down suddenly, and they were already close to him lying on the ground!
Between the lightning and flint, Qi Mu covered his mouth and pinched his nose, his breathing stopped, and the flying insects landed on his face, flapping their wings and not falling down. Qi Mu opened his eyes wide and looked at the black cloud in front of him, only to feel even more terrifying.
These black flying insects are not flies, not mosquitoes, and not vampire bats. They have black heads and black tails, their little wings are stained with ink, a little red light in the middle of their heads, I don't know if it is their eyes or mouth, they have sharp black thorns around their bodies, and as their wings tremble, those black thorns tremble non-stop, and they can instantly scrape stones and trees into powder, which shows the power of these strange insects.
Qi Mu stared at these terrifying insects so closely, he was sick to his stomach for a while, and wanted to vomit. But he didn't dare to get angry now, so he could only stalemate. It turned out that at the moment of crisis just now, Qi Mu figured out the reason, he was frightened by the skull and stopped breathing, and the black worm didn't follow him again. It seems that breathing is the introduction of these insects, and now that they don't vomit, the insects can't find their target, so they stop.
Qi Mu rolled around on the ground, took two steps out, gasped for breath, and the flying insects followed, he immediately held his breath, and then took two steps back to breathe, one person and a group of insects, paused, and stalemate in this deep forest.
Qi Mu was miserable, the gravity here was extremely great, and he couldn't bear it, and the flying insects were pressing step by step, and he couldn't breathe freely, so if he went on like this, it was better to die here directly.
For the first time since going out, Qi Mu felt powerless. Whether it is the mountain ghost leading the way, or saving people from the yang fire, or the earth sect formation, Qi Mu can face it calmly, mainly because Zhang Tiansheng is by his side, he always knows that even if he can't do it, there is a master to wipe his ass.
Now that he is in a predicament, there is no help, and strange things are happening in the deep forest, which makes the young man finally a little scared. Qi Mu changed the place to ventilate, and the flying insects were always not far away.
No, flying insects use the breath of the human body as a guide, isn't that the technique of qi veins? Qi Mu wanted to give up, but suddenly thought of this, with the idea of giving it a try, his eyes widened, first looking inward at his own qi source, and then at those flying insects.
It didn't matter if he looked at it, so frightened that Qi Mu took two steps back.
These flying insects are not without breath, on the contrary, the breath is obvious, they gather together, and there is a large milky white aura around them, but these breaths are not wrapped around the flying insects, but form a fixed shape, condensed but not dispersed.
This shape is a huge bird, with a small head, big wings, sharp claws, no, not a bird, it clearly looks like a huge bat.
These flying insects gathered together, and the aura around them turned out to be a huge bat!
The aura that Qi Mu had seen before, whether it was Qin Rouyi or the fish swimming in the water, or the little brother of the black dog, was all around himself, as if shrouded in a thin veil, but the breath of the flying insects in front of him actually had the shape of a bat, which was clear and intimidating.
Qi Mu stabilized his mind, and wanted to look at the trajectory of the flying insect's breath again, only to find that the flying insect's breath had a gray air current, like a long rope, falling to the ground, and then stretched straight over, extending under his feet and stopping, like a rope, tied to the flying insect at one end, and tied to himself at the other. When you hold your breath, the air flow is disconnected, and once you breathe, the air flow flies under your feet again.
Qi Mu's heart was even more abrupt, the flying insects did not attack themselves according to their breath, but according to their qi.
Thinking about the reason, Qi Mu only felt that he had a better understanding of the cultivation of the Qi Vein Sect, and in this way, if he wanted to get rid of the attack of the flying insects, he had to cut off the connection of this Qi machine.
Qi Mu squatted down and waved at the gray air current, which was naturally useless. He took a breath, and the gray air flow suddenly circled around his feet, and the flying insects rushed towards him. Qi Mu stopped breathing again, the gray air flow retreated a few steps, and the flying insects flapped their wings in mid-air and stopped moving.
"It seems that you can only use the Qi Pulse Technique to deal with the Qi Machine. But I could only see the breath, but I hadn't learned how to use the qi veins. Qi Mu thought in his heart for a while, and then changed his breath, and the gravity around his body was strong, making him sit on the ground, sweating on his forehead, and closing his eyes to rest.
As soon as he closed his eyes, Qi Mu's method of internal vision inadvertently opened, and he happened to see that the qi and blood in his body were vigorous, which was probably the reason for being pulled by gravity. The qi source in his body was slowly rotating, and Qi Mu wanted to try to manipulate the qi source, but this time the qi source moved, and then stopped.
Qi Mu was ecstatic in his heart, after cultivating the qi source last night, the qi source was born and grew and could not be controlled at all, but now that his mind had just risen, the qi source actually moved.
Qi Mu suddenly gave birth to boundless joy, vitality resurged, spirit reunited, and after changing his breath, he urged the qi source in his heart again, this time, the qi source moved again, and under the inner view, it was obviously much bigger than before.
In fact, what Qi Mu didn't know was that Qi source, as the most critical cultivation step of Qi Pulse Dao Technique, often needed to first observe Qi internal cultivation, and then be supported by Qi Pulse Dao Technique, based on his own breath, and forged in the human body. Many Qi Vein Taoist priests have no way to go in their lives, and they always fall behind.
Zhang Tiansheng's vision is extremely high, Qi Mu is talented, plus one dares to teach, one dares to learn, and in one night, he forcibly created a qi source in Qi Mu's body. Cultivating the qi source is the dream of many qi vein Taoist priests, but now it has made Qi Mu a head starter at a young age.
Once the qi source is born, it grows and grows with the human body's qi and never stops. It is like the four doors of life and yang fire, and if the qi source is not extinguished, it will only continue to grow, so that the qi vein Taoist priest can use the breath and become more proficient.
It's just that there are drawbacks since then, Taoist cultivation always pays attention to gradual and gradual progress, when Qi Mu crosses meditation, he directly cultivates the qi source, but he doesn't know the method of use, and he can't communicate with the qi source. It's like a poor person who suddenly gets a lot of money, but he doesn't know how to spend it.
Zhang Tiansheng only wanted him to think about it himself in the future, but now that he was in danger, Qi Mu concentrated his spirit, kept looking inward, and faintly sensed his qi source.
Qi Mu urged the qi source, and the qi source slowly merged into his arm, and the next moment, when he opened his eyes, there was some hazy air flow faintly appearing on the tip of his left finger.
Qi Mu was overjoyed, but the airflow on his fingertips dispersed, he hurriedly urged his mind, and some slight airflow came out of his fingertips. He changed his breath, looked up again, and after a few air changes, the flying insects were already close in front of him, and the gray air flow on the ground was still under his feet.
Qi Mu looked at his fingertips, then looked in front of him, no longer hesitated, held his breath and paused, when he exhaled, the gray air flow wrapped around his feet and neck, and the flying insects roared, Qi Mu's fingers crossed the gray air flow, and the gray air flow was as if the rope had been cut, followed by a rapid retreat, merging into the breath around the flying insects.
The flying insect was already pressed on the top of Qi Mu's head, and at this moment he suddenly lost his breath, suddenly stopped, and then scattered, and the black clouds dissipated in an instant, although the surroundings were still dark, but Qi Mu still felt that Yun Kaiyue saw it, his heart was relieved, and he lay on the ground panting.
After resting for a while, Qi Mu sat up, looked at his left hand, the air flow had dissipated, and after looking inside, he wanted to urge the air source again, but there was no response.
"It seems that I am still not skilled enough," Qi Mu looked at his hand and said with a smile: "Not bad, yes, when I am proficient, I will not be a Taoist priest in the future, but the master can go to work in the factory and be a cutting worker, and he should also be a good hand." ”
He walked over, looked down at the skull sunken in the dirt, then picked up a stick, picked up the dirt, passed it through the skull's eye socket, picked it out, and said, "Don't be surprised, don't be surprised." ”
Ordinary skulls will have some dark spots and corrosion after a long time, but the top of this skull is yellow, which makes this skull more weird.
He looked at it carefully, but found that the yellow seemed to be some kind of pigment, so he wiped it on the ground, and when he looked further, he saw that there were some concave nicks in the places where the yellow was hidden, as if it were a few words.
Qi Mu groped and read: "One, square, world, world."
A world? He looked at the skull, thought and thought, and then nodded repeatedly.
It must have been some explorer who came here and didn't go out and died here, and then the person had a tattoo in front of him and had his name tattooed on it. Therefore, this explorer is called "One World", because the tattoo is more non-mainstream and more forceful, so it is engraved on the skull.
At this point, Qi Mu had already begun to admire his ability. He said to himself: "It must be so, I'm so smart, if I tell this and everyone believes it, it means that everyone is like me, haha, crazy." ”
This was apparently carved by someone else out of the skull of a dead man, perhaps in the name of the deep forest, "One World". It's just that if someone left this name, they should have been here, and there is no need to leave a word when they leave, and if they don't leave, it means that there are other dead people underground.
If you dig it up a little more, maybe this skull will find its other brothers.
Thinking of this, Qi Mu shuddered for a moment, and hurriedly put the skull down, and the gravity sank, and the skull slowly fell down.
