Volume 14 Chapter 24 Drunken Laughter
About 10,000 years ago, there was a casual cultivator with the surname Gongsun who created a strange exercise called "Drunken Laughing Heaven".
This technique doesn't have any particular advantages in terms of cultivation, but it can transform a person who doesn't know anything about martial arts into a first-class martial arts master—just by drinking.
Yes, as long as you drink alcohol, drink enough wine, when people fall into a drunken mood, this kind of exercise can fully tap out the powerful combat power that comes from instinct in people's hearts, so that even if a person who has never honed his combat skills all year round, he will directly turn into a peerless powerhouse with unparalleled martial arts and combat power!
This seems wonderful at first glance, it is simply incredible, but the principle is not complicated - how many of those fierce beasts in nature need to learn martial arts the day after tomorrow? What they use to fight is their innate fighting instinct. People also have this instinct, but it is covered up by the rational surname of the mind, and there are many madmen in the world who have greatly increased their combat power after going crazy, and the practice of drunken laughter is to enable people to use the power of alcohol to activate the hidden fighting instinct without damaging their own rational surname.
Gongsun Daoren is not the kind of genius who cultivates very quickly, and he has no special opportunities in his life, but relying on this strange exercise, he has been in the world for hundreds of years, and he has fought against strong people from all sides, winning more and losing less, and he is a famous master at that time.
The prodigy eventually failed to survive and dissipated into the roaring thunder. His surname is eccentric and withdrawn, a little unkind, and he is not good at teaching his disciples. Although he has accepted apprentices, none of them can inherit the "Drunken Laughing Sky" stunt. Seeing that the catastrophe was approaching, in desperation, he had no choice but to be cheeky and find his lifelong enemy, and asked this old opponent who had fought with him for half his life to help preserve the exercises and help him continue the inheritance.
His old opponent surnamed Wang Mingchao, shortly after the death of Gongsun Daoren, he successfully crossed the catastrophe, and took four Huandan disciples to open a mountain and establish a faction together as a strong Jindan powerhouse, and revived the long-cut Qingyang lineage - it is the ancestor of the revival in the history of Qingyang Guan, the fourteenth generation of the head of the real person, Wang Zushi.
Patriarch Wang had a very high opinion of Zui Xiaotian, and he once tried to let his disciples practice this exercise. But it's a pity that hundreds of years ago, none of the disciples of Qingyangguan could really cultivate this strange exercise. After he and his four junior disciples—in the history of Qingyangguan, they are also known as the "Five Ancestors of Rejuvenation"—some soared, some sat down, and some failed to cross the catastrophe ,—— passed away, the younger disciples gradually ignored this once majestic miraculous skill.
Although the Qingyang concept was once severed, in fact, the inheritance was not really broken, and among the classics that have been handed down from the era of the five sons of Shenshan, there are many unspeakable supreme learning. And soon after the revival of the five ancestors, Qingyangguan produced a peerless master who returned the Dan Nine Turns to Jindan, and revised and improved the ancestral "Taishang Nine Zhuan Dan Sutra" of Qingyangguan again...... All in all, although the stunt of Drunken Xiaotian is very powerful, it is really not valued in Qingyangguan, if there is dust in the hide, I am afraid that the classics that record this stunt have been buried by dust.
Sanyunzi is well-read, and his favorite thing is to look for those interesting past events in the pile of old papers. As the ancestor of the revival of the sect, Patriarch Wang was certainly an important target for him to find anecdotes. Probably not long after he became a librarian, he rediscovered the secret book of Drunken Xiaotian that had been sealed for a long time, and tried to cultivate it.
"How did it turn out?" Elder Xiao asked curiously, and the silver-white tail behind him also shook twice.
This elder from the wolf clan turned out to be the one who went to visit him in the underground volcano before Wu Xie hit the Refining Gang realm. It's just that under normal circumstances, Elder Xiao likes to transform into human appearance, but what Wu Xie saw today was his "half-demon" form that was close to his body.
But most of the demon clans have three forms: primitive, half-demon and humanoid.
First of all, their original form, the vast majority of the demon clan hate to show their original form, for the demon race, showing the original form is probably equivalent to the naked body of human beings, and there are indeed rough nerves in the world that don't take the naked body seriously at all, but presumably most people hate this situation - especially in front of strangers.
The second is the half-demon form, when a demon clan cultivates to a certain level, he will naturally change himself into a form that has a certain resemblance to humans according to his understanding of intelligent creatures. This form is called a half-demon. For the half-demon form, the understanding of the demon race is more polarized, some think that this is the most perfect posture, and are accustomed to acting with this posture; Others believe that this is a privacy that should be preserved, and generally does not show such a posture.
Xiao Yue is the latter, if it weren't for the fact that he failed to return the pill because of the impact today, the true yuan in his body was a little sluggish, and his mood was also very depressed, under normal circumstances, he would have maintained his human form.
Perhaps for him, the original form is naked, the human form is well-dressed, and the half-demon form is wearing a shirt and shorts—it's not that you can't see people, but even if you only think about etiquette, you should wear your clothes well.
Since the rest just now, his condition has recovered a lot, and it is said that he can return to human form. But I don't know if Lu Dao was a little excited after drinking, or if curiosity overrode other thoughts, he just maintained the form of a half-human, half-beast, and from time to time slapped the ground behind his back with his silver-white furry tail to urge Sanyunzi to quickly tell the story.
Looking at Elder Xiao's appearance, Wu Xie couldn't help but think of the statement in the "Tang Monster Illustrated Book":
Many of the demon clan are the super cheerful type, even if they look cold and difficult to approach on the outside, they are likely to be cheerful on the inside—or, in most cases, cheerful guys are easier to cultivate into youkai than withdrawn ones.
(P.S. The statement of the predecessors is indeed insightful, I once met a guy who is super cold and super temperamental, and feels super difficult to approach, at first glance, he is the kind of iceberg beauty, but he has the courage to talk, but he finds that he is unexpectedly close, so it is easy to become friends!)
Elder Xiao is obviously that type too, which can be seen from his humanoid posture - in human form, he is a white-haired monk with a very kind smile, although he often likes to put on one or two cool poses, as soon as he speaks, he will be thoroughly approachable, almost like the owner of an ordinary roadside tea stall.
And now, the smile of the roadside tea stall owner is appearing on the face of a child so cold that it can scare a crying child, and he slaps his tail heavily on the ground, and exclaims impatiently: "Hurry up! It's never too late to drink tea when you're done!"
Sanyunzi drank half a cup of tea, and then introduced his experience in cultivating Drunken Xiaotian.
That kind of exercise was indeed very effective, and he only practiced for a short time, and then he found that his level in combat had skyrocketed: "It's probably only four or five years, and I've changed from a nerd type whose combat strength lagged behind cultivation to a combat type whose combat effectiveness far exceeds that of cultivation." ”
"Isn't that great? Why is this kind of exercise being shelved?" Wu Xie asked curiously.
"Because...... I was addicted to alcoholism. Sanyunzi said with a wry smile, "In the process of cultivating and using Drunken Xiaotian, you need to drink a lot of alcohol, and before you know it, I found that I have an extra habit of drinking. But as you all know, the fundamental naivety of this sect is to let us get rid of meaningless desires, or at least to clarify our priorities and determine what we really want......"
Wu Xie and the others nodded again and again, and they already understood the reason why they were given up for what was drunk and laughing.
Alcoholism is a bad habit, and when a person makes it a habit to enjoy something, even to the point where it is inseparable, it may hinder his original intention to seek the truth. Compared with this kind of fatal disadvantage, a little improvement in combat effectiveness is really not something worth paying for.
The disciples of Qingyang Concept, no matter how high or low their cultivation is, their determination to pursue a higher realm is the same. It is impossible for them to allow their Dao heart to be polluted in order to improve their combat effectiveness - or rather, the person who would make this choice will not be able to enter the door of Qingyang View from the beginning!
"That grandson senior entrusted this stunt to this sect, it's really inconsiderate!" Wu Xie shook his head and sighed.
"Yes, after I first found out about this, it took me twenty years to break my addiction to alcohol, and I completely gave up the discipline of drunken laughter...... But now, I've met someone who fits perfectly!" Sanyunzi turned his head to look at Horsta, who was sleeping soundly, "This kid doesn't have any desire for force, his surname is very shy and weak, which makes it impossible for him to fall into the mentality of chasing force, as long as he doesn't have this mentality urging, he won't develop the habit of drinking." ”
When they heard this, they looked thoughtfully at Holda.
What Sanyunzi said is reasonable, the reason why those disciples who cultivate Drunken Xiaotian will develop the habit of drinking alcohol is not because they like to drink, but because they are eager to improve their strength, and in the face of the Drunken Xiaotian stunt that can quickly improve their combat power, they are unconsciously addicted to it, and gradually develop bad habits, and have to spend several times as long to quit drinking.
But Horsta didn't need to worry about this, he couldn't be too aggressive in chasing combat power at all - or rather, his combat power after being drunk was amazing enough, far beyond the level he needed to reach in his current realm, not only did it need to be further improved, but it even needed to be suppressed well, so as not to damage himself with too much power.
If you think about it from this point of view, the Drunken Laughing Heaven, a peerless study whose advantages and disadvantages are as obvious as their disadvantages, is indeed very suitable for him!
"That grandson's predecessor's mastery has been sealed for tens of thousands of years, and he has finally waited for a truly suitable successor!" Wu Xie smiled, "Compared to the Yuan Spirit that he dissipated in reincarnation, he will also cheer for this!"
So the matter was settled, and Wu Jie, as Holsta's senior brother, the first thing to do was to help him make a magic weapon, a magic weapon that could effectively control his drinking.
In any case, this little guy can't be really drunk, the combat effectiveness he shows after getting drunk is really too troublesome!
