The old man said, "Ask." ”

Ding Qin said, "When I met Jiaguyun, there was actually some conflict. At that time, his subordinates used the so-called Ring of Resistance, and I broke into it with my magic trick, misleading him into thinking that I was from Ruyifang, and I used Ruyifang's needle technique. So I want to ask, is this resistance spirit ring and the trick of seeing the seams and inserting needles also two unique secret techniques?"

The old man smiled after hearing this, "Hehe, see the needle trick." Does the name sound like a secret technique? Actually, that's it. ”

He cleared his throat, "This resistance spirit ring is really a unique secret technique of the Nine Turns, similar to a shield, but it can be actively repelled, and when the cultivation is high, people who are fellow cultivators cannot enter the body." Once, when the three sects were fighting each other, resisting the existence of the spirit ring put the Nine Turnstile Gate at an advantage for a while. ”

"But as I said earlier, the moves of the Nine Turnstile are fixed, which gives others room to study. Finally, one day, a person in Ruyifang realized a way to restrain and resist the spirit ring. Actually, that's just a specific use of the wishful formula. It's just a name that the man casually said after winning the battle with the people of the Nine Turnstiles. ”

However, the method of use that he realized also inspired others to participate in the Wishful Formula. As far as I know, later, the people who realized how to break into the spirit ring of resistance could account for about one-third of the disciples of Ruyifang. And the methods and forms that these people have realized are different for everyone, but they are closer to the name of the needle. As a result, Ruyifang simply referred to the way of breaking into the resistance spirit ring as the trick of seeing the seams. ”

"Actually, it's not difficult to break through to the Resist Spirit Ring. As long as you find the way the spiritual power of the spirit ring operates, and follow the momentum to enter, instead of hitting it hard, you can break through. Like, you can break in, right?"

After the old man finished speaking, he looked at Ding Qin with a smile.

Ding Qin shook his head, "Senior, although I can break in, I don't know how to resist the spirit ring, and I don't take advantage of the situation. The method I use is called the growth of all things, and it is a special method inspired by plants to create with absorption and transformation. In other words, I broke into the Ring of Resistance and used the method of forcibly breaking through. ”

"Everything grows? The old man showed a hint of curiosity on his face, "You created your own?"

Ding Qin shook his head, "No, my master created it." The original intention of his creation was to reduce the fluctuation of spiritual power during attack and defense, so as to better hide himself. Later, I slowly discovered that there are other uses for the growth of all things. ”

"I'll take a look. The old man was obviously interested, "Just give a simple demonstration." ”

Ding Qin nodded, flipped his hand, and the Shui Xing Jue was activated, and a spiritual power blade was launched at his fingertips, cutting several peanut shells on the table at the same time. In this process, due to the growth of all things, there were hardly any fluctuations in spiritual power.

The old man's brow furrowed again. He looked at Ding Qin, "Resist the water and walk in the sky?"

Ding Qin was not surprised, after all, the water trick is not a profound kung fu. As for the full name, it is not a secret to this person who knows so many things about Ruyifang and the Nine Turnstiles.

So he nodded, "That's right. ”

"To be able to turn the defense of the Water Trick into an attack, you have already made a big breakthrough. Between offense and defense, that's what happened. Attack is defense, defense is also attack. The old man's tone was a little appreciative of Ding Qin, "In addition, the growth of all things is really effective." Unfortunately, it is not suitable for you. ”

Ding Qin was puzzled, "Why is it not suitable?"

The old man said, "If you can use the water trick to such an extent, you must be practicing the three chapters of water control." The three articles of water resistance are the magic of direct combat, and there is no need to hide the fluctuations of spiritual power. If you are practicing assassination and reconnaissance, then the growth of all things is a perfect match. ”

Ding Qin smiled, "It turns out that what the predecessors refer to is so. ”

The old man began to drink again, and as he drank, he kept banging on the table with his hands. After a long time, he said, "With your qualifications, it is actually easy to become the object of competition between Ruyi Fang and the Nine Turns. If one party can't get it, they will be afraid that the other party will get it, and maybe they will take extreme measures, such as killing you. ”

Ding Qin's hand trembled slightly.

In fact, just now the old man emphasized qualifications, which made him have such an inference. However, there are some things that you will feel acceptable when you tell them to yourself, and once they come out of other people's mouths, there will be great fluctuations in emotions and psychology.

For a while, Ding Qin did not express his position.

The old man sighed suddenly, "As for the shogunate faction, maybe they have long forgotten that they are a sect. They are now keen on administration, keeping a large number of troops ready to deal with a possible war. The historical lies they made up themselves, they themselves slowly took them to be true. As for their ancient secret skills, they may have been lost. ”

Hearing him say this, Ding Qin's attention also shifted back. "What do you mean by the predecessors, the shogunate sect also has ancestral secrets?"

The old man said, "Of course." It's just that the cultivation requirements for this secret are extremely high, and according to historical records, there are very few successful people, or there are no successful people. As a result, although it had secrets, it had no precedent, and it was difficult for the shogunate to shift their attention from the management of Tennan Prefecture. ”

"Their ancestral secret technique is called the Secret Technique of Going Against the Heavens. The name may or may not make sense to you. In other words, it no longer makes sense for the whole world. The old man smiled dismally, shook his head incessantly, and then drank another glass of wine.

"Going against the sky. Ding Qin repeated, and when he saw that the old man didn't say much, he didn't ask.

The old man drank two glasses by himself, and suddenly asked Ding Qin, "You don't drink?"

Ding Qin said, "I don't drink." ”

The old man said, "It's not good if you don't drink it, it's not good." One day, you will suddenly realize that you need some wine in your life to forget something, and one day, the drinker will find that he regrets what he forgot because he drank it. ”

Ding Qin smiled. He didn't understand everything the old man said, and he didn't need to understand everything.

At the end, the old man looked at Ding Qin, "Tonight, you listened to me talk so much, why didn't you ask me who I am, why did you tell you so much?"

Ding Qin still smiled very casually, "If the seniors want to say it, they will definitely tell me." If you don't want to say, it's useless for me to ask. ”

The old man nodded in satisfaction. "You don't really need to know who I am. Maybe we'll see each other again. But what I want to tell you is that the reason why I am providing you with the information of Ruyi Fang and the Nine Turnstile is because of your special temperament. ”

"Special temperament, what temperament?" Ding Qin was puzzled again, and was even a little dazed.

The old man said, "I can't say it now. Perhaps, once you regain your memory, you'll know. Of course, it is also possible that the memory was restored, and I don't know. Hopefully, one day, when we see you again, you'll be able to make more progress. ”

Ding Qin is a little less calm now. He leaned forward, "Senior, can you tell me more?"

The old man drank the last glass of wine, "The time has not yet come." Young people, walk on your own and be careful. ”

With that, he threw the flask to the ground again.

This time, he didn't control it, and the flask rang. With this voice, the old man floated up, and disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye.

As soon as he left, Ding Qin found that the wine jug, peanut shells, and even the table and the chair where the old man had sat were all gone.

He's a master, and he's in a hurry.

He also has no ill will towards himself.

With this thought, Ding Qin got up and looked in the direction where the old man had disappeared. After a long time, he took a deep breath and returned to his room.

The night was calm and nothing else. Early the next morning, Ding Qin got up and went to the counter on the first floor to check out. I don't know if it's because I got up early, the hall seems to be very deserted, and there are only two tables of people eating breakfast.

After paying the fee, as soon as he turned around, Ding Qin met the little second child yesterday again. He still had a feeling of retreat from Ding Qin, and he almost didn't dare to look at him directly.

Ding Qin didn't say anything, just passed by him as if he hadn't asked. After leaving the inn, he went to the nearby morning market to buy some simple dry food and drinks, and set out on the road to Nanhai County again.

It's just that after the explanation of the mysterious old man last night, Ding Qin's feelings about Tiannanzhou have completely changed.

He was no longer as calm as he had just entered Tiannan State, because it was a peaceful place. On the contrary, he involuntarily felt a little more wary in his heart.

Thirty or forty miles away from Zhongshan City, a forest appeared in front of him. The road winds through it, and the surrounding area is sparsely populated.

Ding Qin was about halfway through when he saw two people standing on the road.

One of them has a fat head and big ears, a short and fat body, and just a smile on his face, which has a feeling of Maitreya Buddha appearing. He happened to be holding a string of Buddhist beads in his hand, which was quite a bit of the temperament of a monk.

The other is completely opposite, with a thin face and thin muscles, a body like a bamboo pole, but he is wearing a small dress, his sleeves and trouser legs are short, and there are several patches on his body, like a beggar who can't eat enough. Very appropriately, he was holding a broken bowl that looked like pottery in his hand, and his eyes were a little sinister.

There is generally nothing good about the appearance of such a person in such a place.

Ding Qin slowed down his march as soon as he spotted them. By the time he was about ten meters away from them, Ding Qin was no different from walking.

However, from the eyes of these two people, Ding Qin knew that it was impossible for him to pass smoothly.

Sure enough, when it was almost time to face each other, the smiling Buddha said, "May I ask if it's Ding Qingong?"

Ding Qin was a little surprised in his heart, but he was not surprised when he thought of what the old man said last night.

These two people are either from Ruyifang or from the Nine Turns, right?

Ding Qin stood in place, his face as calm as ever. "It's me. What do you two do?"
