Chapter 3: The Summer of the Mirage
This is the most lively one in the mirage city in the past few years. There were already scouts rushing back to Mirage City to spread the news of the arrival of the Divine Emperor's envoy throughout the city. More than 100,000 city residents and thousands of empty alleys flocked to the city gate and port to catch a glimpse of the envoy of the God Emperor and the Broken Wave Knife Ke Hanhuai. As soon as the heroes landed at the port, they heard the roar of the salute (who said there were no fireworks salutes at that time?) Since the Suiren clan stole the fire, China has had brilliant fireworks. Hehe), the black crowd stood on the island, the city tower and let out a deafening cheer.
The heroes were excited, raising their arms and shouting. Tuoba ambition is even more surging like a sea tide, and his blood is boiling, and he has forgotten all the hardships and hardships he has come. Except for the city lord Qiao Yu who was seriously injured and couldn't go out, all the other generals rushed to the port to greet them, and the sixteen generals in the group were all tall and burly men, with heroic posture and heroic hair, sprinkled with boldness, and the rangers couldn't help but be heartbroken.
The people of Mirage City listened to Song Yizhi's introduction to Tuoba Ye, and immediately bowed down. Although Tuoba Ye knew that they were grateful for the grace of the Holy Grace because of their identity as the messenger of the God Emperor, they inevitably wondered in their hearts, and they were quite embarrassed, so they hurriedly helped them up one by one. Everyone reported their names, and when the heroes of Mirage City heard the name of Ke Khan Huai, they were all moved, overjoyed, and saluted respectfully. Some of the two parties are old people who have known each other for many years, and this reunion is even more joyful.
The head is sensational, the names are complicated, and Tuoba Ye can't remember many names for a while, but it is a red-bearded man with a strange appearance and an interesting name, called Lie Jiu, and he remembered it at once. Tuoba Ye smiled: "This name is really interesting. Liquor. If you fight with someone, you don't need to use your hands, just take a sip of wine and smoke him to the point of drunkenness. Everyone laughed and thought to themselves, "This young envoy is really as amiable as Brother Duan said." "I feel a little closer to him in my heart. Lie Jiu laughed, he stuttered a little when he spoke, opened his mouth wide, couldn't make a sound, blinked his eyes for a long time before squeezing out a sentence: "Drunk him, he's, also, has to give me wine, wine money!" Everyone laughed again.
At that moment, the heroes of the Mirage City hugged Tuoba Ye, Ke Hanhuai and others and walked towards the city, and the crowd retreated, and the cheers were thunderous. Tuoba Ye kept hearing someone talk in his ears: "Is this the envoy of the God Emperor? "Tsk, so young, and so handsome......" He is already a legendary hero of Mirage.
Tuoba Ye smiled at everyone, his spirit was flying, his charm increased, and there was another stirring in the crowd. As far as the eye could see, many young and beautiful girls were crowded in the crowd, and Qiu Bo looked at him frequently, and Tuoba Ye couldn't help but pound his heartbeat. Suddenly, a soft and slippery little hand grabbed his palm, and when he looked down, it was Slender Fiber. She pursed her lips and said, "Look at you, you can't even remember what you called." When you see a beautiful girl, you forget your tearful sister?"
Tuoba Ye Yileng, this little girl has sharp teeth and sharp mouth, and she often can't argue with her, but this time she choked again, so she had to pretend not to hear. Her hand was so tight that she couldn't pull it out, so she had to let her walk in by herself. Although Tuoba Ye is only fourteen years old, he has been wandering since he was a child, and he matures quite early, and he mistakenly takes fourteen Shennong Pills, and his skeletal muscles are swollen and changed, like a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy. He walked with Xian Xian, a pair of jade, straight as a brother and sister, I don't know how many mirage city parents I have killed.
The mirage city is built on the island, and it is a miraculous workmanship. The city wall is majestic, looking up, the sky is half a day, the tower is magnificent, the glare is blurred, and everyone is dizzying. Tuoba Ye is even more new. Along the way, Song Yizhi pointed out the building, explained to Tuoba Ye and other tour guides, many story allusions, and great insight. This mirage city was originally built more than 300 years ago, when the Qing Emperor of the Mu Clan mined corals from the East China Sea, Dragon Palace crystals and Kunlun white jade, and was originally a sacred place for the Mu Clan to worship the heavens. Later, due to the southward migration of the Mu tribe, this mirage city gradually became the fortress of the Mu tribe in the East China Sea. The city wall fortress was designed by Jun Suguang, the first craftsman three hundred years ago, and is strong and majestic, and is known as the first city in the East China Sea. At the same time, it is extremely elegant and magnificent, and every brick and tile is a finely carved work of art.
The city is extremely clean and tidy, the streets are all paved with pebbles and fine sand from the seabed, and the coral trees of the East China Sea are planted on both sides and the exotic flowers and plants of the Great Wilderness. The dwellings in the city are scattered, all built of white jade, green teak and marine trees, inlaid with crystal windows, but the style is varied, or pavilions and eaves, or round tile courtyards, although the difference is quite large, but quite harmonious. It turns out that in the past 30 years, many rangers have gathered in the mirage city, among which there are quite a lot of skilled craftsmen, who are surprised by the renovation of the building style, Qiao Yu has always been tolerant and free, the sea is inclusive, the buildings in the city are more diverse, and the island city within a radius of ten miles is actually the miniature and collection place of all the buildings in the Great Wilderness. Along the way, it has been an eye-opener for the heroes.
Blue sky and white buildings, green sea and mangroves. The crystal windows shimmer in the sunlight with dazzling beauty.
The people of the city walked behind them in a mighty way, and the people in the city welcomed them, and they were dressed in different and colorful clothes, and they were not restricted by the clan rules of the time, and their faces were full of joy. After walking for a long time, I came to Jixian Garden in the east of the city, which is the place where the mirage city receives VIPs, and it is also the place where the saint of the water tribe and the Qingdi stayed when they sacrificed to the sky in the past. Jixian Garden is located on the huge rock in the east of the city, the boulder hangs in the air, and protrudes dozens of zhang towards the East China Sea. The buildings in the garden are all made of crystal and agarwood, like transparent square boxes, exquisitely clear, and fragrant.
After Song Yizhi and others settled the rangers, they retired. The heroes rushed to the destination, and once the mood was relaxed, the feeling of sleepiness immediately came up again. At that moment, they went back to their rooms, ate some seafood, vegetables and fruits, and took a bath to rest.
Takubano's room was facing the sea to the south, and when the crystal window was opened, a red coral forest burned like flames to the seashore. The golden sand beach is surrounded by beautiful colors, and the blue waves are surging up. The sun is shining and the sea breeze is cool. Tuoba Ye looked out of the window for a long time before going to rest. I was excited, tossing and turning, my mind was full of the strange things that had happened in the past few days, and I watched the tears falling into the agate incense burner of the woman in white for a long time, and then I fell asleep unconsciously.
When I woke up, it was already evening, Song Yizhi and others were already waiting in Jixian Garden, and asked Tuoba Ye and Ke Hanhuai to meet Qiao Yu in Bimu Tower. The two followed Song Yizhi towards the city.
Along the way, many people recognized the Divine Emperor's envoy and the Broken Wave Knife, and saluted one after another. Tuoba Ye learned Ke Hanhuai to return the salute and walked away. After a while, everyone arrived in front of a quaint green vine wooden building, thinking that it was the mansion of the city lord of Qiao. But it looks quite ordinary, and even far less opulent than some private houses.
Seeing that it was Song Yizhi, the two guards at the gate hurriedly opened the door and entered the house to report. A moment later, a young man of about thirteen years old strode out, bowed down and said, "My father is injured and has difficulty moving. Chi You's father received the envoy of the God Emperor. Tuoba Ye didn't even dare to help him up. The young man looked up at Tuoba Ye and let out a soft "huh", as if he was quite surprised that he was so young. The two are of similar age, and although their height is half a head taller than Tuobano, there is not much difference in appearance.
Chiyou has bronzed skin, strong muscles, and a proud face with straight eyebrows, looking far older than his age. Tuoba Ye smiled: "I'm about the same age as you, you call me Tuoba is." Chi You said: "Don't dare." He saw Ke Hanhuai's white hair fluttering, Qingyi was encouraging, and said respectfully: "I think this is the uncle of the Broken Wave Knife Branch?" "He spoke respectfully and politely, which was even more in keeping with his age. Kehan Huai said: "Sure enough, the tiger father has no dogs. The virtuous nephew is young, and he has the demeanor of everyone, which is rare. ”
The crowd talked and walked in. The courtyard is more simple, the four courtyards are encircled, a few sycamore trees are planted in the courtyard, and the sound of cicadas is intensive. Everyone lifted the curtain with Chiyou and entered the main room. The room was quite spacious, the sunlight shone in through the crystal window, and a middle-aged man was reclining on the bed, described as haggard, but a pair of tiger eyes were still shining. He smiled and said, "The envoy of the God Emperor and Brother Ke are here, and I can't welcome them from afar, I'm really sorry." Ke Hanhuai said: "The city lord of Qiao fought the blue-winged sea dragon beast alone, eliminating harm for the people, and he was injured. Qiao Yu laughed.
Tuoba Ye saw that he was so seriously injured and that the strong enemy soldiers were approaching the city, he was still so optimistic and greatly heartbroken. Qiao Yu looked at him with blazing eyes and sighed: "Heroes have been young since ancient times. Duan Mad's praise is really not false at all. Tuoba Ye smiled: "Brother Duan is very loving. In fact, the real heroes are these rangers who come from all directions. Knowing that the future is dangerous, he still moves forward. That's the real rarity. ”
Qiao Yu nodded and smiled, and said, "I don't know if the Divine Emperor is okay with his old man?" Tuoba Ambition was surprised in his heart, thinking that Brother Duan hadn't told him about it? I didn't expect him to look rude, but he was also quite careful. But now that he has come to Mirage City, there is no need to hide this matter, and he said solemnly at the moment: "Don't hide it, the God Emperor has been materialized on Nanji Mountain seven days ago. ”
Everyone was shocked and exclaimed in unison. Even Ke Hanhuai was taken aback. Tuoba Ye arched his hand towards Ke Hanhuai and smiled bitterly: "Ke Daxia, yesterday was dangerous, and I was afraid that it would affect morale, so I had to lie." Ke Hanhuai nodded and said:
"It's done right. ”
Qiao Yu was stunned, and said for a while: "Is it? This is really the loss of the people of the Great Wilderness." Tuoba Ye took out the Blood Book of the God Emperor and the Divine Wood Order from his arms, handed them to Qiao Yu and said: "This is the last order of the God Emperor, ordering the Water Tribes to withdraw immediately. Qiao Yu unfolded the blood book, and after reading it for a moment, tears rolled down.
Qiao Yu folded up the blood book and said, "This matter is very important, and for the time being, we can't let outsiders know that the God Emperor has died." It is necessary to make the water tribe withdraw its troops, sign a peace treaty, and then announce it to the world. The crowd nodded yes. At that moment, the group chatted for a while, Qiao Yu's face became more and more ugly, and beads of sweat flowed all over his body.
Ke Hanhuai knew that he was seriously injured, and he struggled to support him for a long time, and the faint true qi had dispersed, so he patted Tuoba Ye and got up to say goodbye. Qiao Yu said with a smile: "The people of Mirage City are going to have a banquet for you tonight. Yizhi and Chiyou, you can take the two of you to the beach for a feast. Song Yizhi and Chi You bowed down to receive the order and retreated with the two of them.
When everyone came to the coral beach in the west, the sunset had been swallowed up by the Tianbi Mountains on the other side, and the stars were faint in the light blue night sky, and the cool breeze was blowing. The beach was crowded with people, and piles of bonfires were burning, reflecting smiling faces. Seeing them from afar, Xian Xian ran all the way over, holding Kehanhuai with one hand and Tuoba Ye with the other, and walked inside.
Laughter and laughter on the beach, people sit around the campfire to barbecue seafood and drink home-brewed wine. Young rangers and girls danced around a bonfire, and the cheerful melody of the ukulele resounded across the beach.
Tuoba Ye grilled the scorched bone fish for everyone, while chatting and laughing with the rangers around him. Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and everyone turned around to look, and someone set off fireworks on the hills in the center of the island, and gorgeous fireworks pierced the night sky and bloomed all over the sky. Boiling cheers rang out on the beach.
The explosion sounded, and the deep blue night sky suddenly burst into fireworks, blooming in layers, changing, colorful, and bizarre. The sound of the waves, the gentle night breeze, Tuoba Ye held the grilled fish in his hand, and turned his head to see Xian Xian was looking at him with a smile, the autumn waves were blurred, and under the reflection of the bonfire, the luster of the flame was beating. The eyes were so familiar and so moving. Who he remembered and who he forgot. My heart was pounding, I was confused, my fingers were loosened, and the grilled fish fell on the beach.
Summer in Mirage is quietly coming in this sky full of fireworks.
※※※
In the early morning of the next day, Song Yizhi led 300 elite soldiers with blood books and Shenmu Ling to go straight to the base camp of the Chaoyang Valley Siege Army. There are only carbon blocks in the stove pit, which are still dotted.
Song Yizhi's army led south, passing seven Chaoyang Valley camps along the way, but all of them were so. Thinking about it, it must be that the water demon saw that the sniper Ke Hanhuai and Tuoba Ye could not succeed, and knew that the general trend had gone, so the surname Suo quietly died down and retreated overnight. At that moment, Song Yizhi led his troops back east.
When the soldiers and civilians of Mirage City heard the retreat of the water demon, they were all overjoyed and excited, and they were very lively. Qiao Yu still had some doubts, and successively sent nine road scouts to scout and ride out. Finally, it was determined that all the water demon siegers had withdrawn to the territory of the water tribe last night.
In the evening, all the scouts returned to Mirage City, and Duan Yukai also led thousands of elite soldiers back to the city. As soon as Duan Yukai landed on the port, someone reported that the envoy of the God Emperor had arrived safely, although the white dragon deer had not heard Tuoba Ye's name, but it seemed to have smelled his breath, hissed with joy, kicked his hooves high, and almost threw Duan Yukai down, and then violently spread his four hooves, and ran towards the city with a roar.
Everyone saw that the madman was dancing around on a spirit beast that looked like a dragon and a deer, shouting and screaming, which was not funny.
Tuoba Ye was eating with the group of heroes in the Jixian Courtyard, when he suddenly heard the sound of joy in the distance outside, and he was overjoyed, jumped up, and ran towards the door. As soon as he ran into the courtyard, a white shadow flashed, a strong wind swept in, and he was thrown to the ground by something, and a wet tongue licked up, sweeping him from head to neck. The warm snort made him itch.
Tuoba Ye laughed, hugged him with both arms, and said, "Brother Deer, you want to kill me!" The white dragon deer hissed, as if to say, "I want to kill you too." Suddenly, someone panted and laughed: "This brute, when he smelled your scent, ran wildly and threw me into the mud." Looking up, a big man covered in mud stood at the door with a smile, it was Duan Yukai.
Tuoba Ye is overjoyed, the two have shared weal and woe, and this reunion is more affectionate, chatting like old friends who have known each other for many years. The heroes in the garden heard the sound and came out one after another, introducing each other at the moment, and they were all very happy.
Seeing the white dragon deer, Xian Xian liked it quite much, stepped forward to stroke its head, and said with a smile: "Brother Tuoba, is it your friend? Tuoba Ye smiled: "Exactly, but he is very arrogant and ignores others." Unexpectedly, the white dragon deer seemed to be quite fond of Xian Xian, squinted her eyes and let her caress her, hissing in a low voice. Tuoba Ye was surprised, and Xian Xian was proud, and Gege couldn't stop laughing.
That night, the Mirage City once again feasted in the whole city, and Qiao Yu also reluctantly appeared, and toasted dozens of glasses of wine with Tuoba Ye, Ke Hanhuai and other heroes who rushed to help, and then retired.
After more than ten days, the Mirage City still reconnoitred and rode out, and there was no change in the water tribe. Qiao Yu also sent the Five Paths Envoy to send the Divine Emperor Divine Oracle to the Five Clans Sacred Mountain Elders' Council, and a war disaster was unexpectedly eliminated.
Peace was established, and since the third day, there have been rangers who have said goodbye one after another. Tuoba Ye and Ke Hanhuai also wanted to leave, but they were retained by Qiao Yu and other soldiers and civilians of Mirage City, and several times they had already arrived at the dock and were pulled back. It's hard to be warm, not to mention that Tuoba Ye has always taken the four seas as his home, leaving here, and he doesn't know where he will go, and he has a lot of fun on the island, so he decided to live in the mirage city for a while.
Now that he has lived in Mirage City, Ke Hanhuai asked for his surname to help Qiao Yu heal his injuries and reopen and repair his meridians. Tuoba Ye was interested in medicine, and he got Shennong's "Hundred Herbs", and looked around for healing medicine. Among the many exotic flowers and plants brought by the rangers of the five tribes on the island, many of them meet the prescriptions. Tuoba Ye boiled a pot of medicine every morning and gave it to Qiao Yu at noon. With such a two-pronged treatment, after a few days, Qiao Yu has a great tendency to improve. The whole city was quite happy.
Qiao Yu's son, Chi You, although he was quite reserved at first, and was gentle and polite when he met Tuoba Ye, but after all, he was a thirteen-year-old boy, and after a long time, he revealed his original form. Tuoba Ye has always been outgoing and cheerful, and it is very easy to make friends with people, and after more than ten days, Chi You has hooked up with Tuoba Ye, laughing and laughing, and has become quite a good friend. But in front of his elders, he was still respectful and polite. A group of teenagers who followed Chiyou heard about Tuoba Ye's feats, admired the five-body throws themselves to the ground, and every time they surround him, pestering him to say some interesting things on the road. Tuoba Ye even compared, foaming at the mouth, and the narration was inevitably exaggerated, and the young people's eyebrows danced when they heard it, and they were amazed. Regarding the section on the fairy sister and the concubine of the rain master, Tuoba Ye only mentioned it lightly, but it has made all the young people salivate and be fascinated leisurely.
It's just that the slender is also said to follow Tuoba Ye in the end, and they are like brothers and sisters. Tuoba Ye likes her a lot, and the other is struggling to get rid of it, so he has to let her. The young men saw that she was the daughter of the Broken Wave Knife Family, and they were also very attentive. In addition, she is cute and cute, and she is regarded as a princess by everyone.
This time, Tuoba Ye was talking to the young men about how to form a five-element long snake formation with the group of heroes to break through the indestructible Beihai Xuan Ice Iron. Dancing with his hands, the luck dantian suddenly lifted his breath and waved his hand to a boulder beside him. Suddenly, the hot qi at the dantian rose sharply, and dozens of acupoints in the body suddenly exploded with true qi, rapidly converging into a surging torrent in the body, expanding sharply in an instant, and suddenly reversed in the body, not leading out with the palm, but rushing straight to the top of the head, with a loud bang in both ears, a loud roar, and a straight fall, I don't know.
It turned out that he had been to Mirage City for more than ten years, in addition to looking for herbs and boiling medicines, he finally said that he was playing all over the island with Chiyou and others, but none of them practiced "tidal flow" to regulate breathing and controlling qi. The Haoran True Qi in the body and the remnants of the complex Five Elements True Qi could not be channeled for a long time, and began to wander indiscriminately between the meridians again. was so violently adjusted by him, and when he was in chaos, he merged into his own true qi and collided with each other. In an instant, he was powerless to channel his depression, and he was knocked unconscious by the bursting true qi. Fortunately, when he was able to exert his strength, he did not exert all his strength, and he did not reach a dangerous situation with the power of recoil.
Tuoba Ye fainted, causing chaos when he landed, and Chiyou was severely punished by his father and was not allowed to go out. Famous doctors in the city rushed to Jixian Garden to diagnose him. But as soon as he took the pulse, he was shaken away, injured his muscles and bones, and so on.
Fortunately, Ke Hanhuai arrived in time to disperse his true qi back to various acupoints, so as to prevent the uncontrolled true qi in his body from shaking his meridians. Tuoba Ye recuperated for three days in a row before he got better. Every time there is an endless stream of people who come to visit. The elixir of the five clans was piled up at the head of his bed. Xian Xian finally said that he was with the white dragon deer, by his side, and only reluctantly went back to the room after watching him fall asleep at night.
This day, Tuoba Ye slept until midnight, and suddenly heard someone knock on the door. When he got up and opened the door, it was Ke Hanhuai. He whispered, "Brother Tuoba, you come with me." At this time, the full moon was in the sky, the sky was as blue as the sea, and the sound of the waves sounded, Tuoba Ambition was surprised, and he didn't know what was going on, but he still covered the door and followed away.
Kehanhuai led him around Jixian Garden, through the coral forest, to the beach. The sea breeze is salty and wet, and the sound of the surging tide is full of ears. The deep blue sea swelled in cascading waves, rolling towards the beach like thousands of horses, and then retreating backwards. This is repeated repeatedly, and in a short time it floods more than 100 meters of beach.
It is the night of the full moon and the tide of the month.
Ke Hanhuai said: "Brother Tuoba, in the Peach Blossom Garden, do you remember the "Tide Flow" I taught you?" Tuoba Ye Fang knew that he dragged him here in the middle of the night to re-teach him the way of recovering and controlling qi, thinking of his own indulgence in fun, happy and sad, he couldn't help blushing a little, nodded and said: "Remember." At that moment, he blurted out the mantra of more than 100 words, and Langlang recited it again, not a word of which was missing.
Ke Hanhuai nodded and said, "Very good." In fact, this tidal current is just a method I created when I practiced in the tidal waves at night in Gulangyu. There was nothing surprising. But for the current situation of the Tuoba brothers, it is no longer suitable. "Tuoba Ye said that he learned the fur in the cave, and he made rapid progress, knowing that this was true. Although it is only a hundred words, it is broad and profound, and there are still many things that he does not understand. At the moment, he said happily: "That's wonderful!" knelt down and bowed to Kehanhuai.
Ke Hanhuai helped him up and said with a smile: "It's not a master and apprentice, so you don't have to make this big gift." We're quite in love, and this little thing is nothing. Besides, if you agree to the matter of Master Yu's concubine, how can you break your trust?" sat on the beach with Tuoba Ye at the moment. When the moon was bright and the sea breeze was blowing, he said indifferently and explained the subtleties of this tidal flow step by step.
※※※
Kehan Huai said: "What the tidal current trains is not qi, but mental power. If you want to practice qi, you need to start with the simplest airflow. But you have a lot of true qi in your body, and it's enough. What you need to cultivate is how to control qi with your mind. No matter how many castes there are, the true qi is like this stream. Whether it is a deep mountain waterfall or an iceberg spring stream, if you want to practice Haoran True Qi, you have to merge water into a stream, and then converge into a river. The confluence of all the tributaries of the rivers must be the most dangerous place. This is like the true qi in your body, coming from different castes, different places, wandering between the meridians, if you want to converge, you must intersect, but when you intersect, it is the most dangerous time. If you are not careful, the meridians will be broken by shock. ”
Tuoba Ye felt the same and nodded again and again. "If the current is too fierce and rapid, it will destroy or even flood the riverbed. Do you know how you can smoothly merge this tributary without leaving the riverbed unscathed?" Tuoba Ye pondered for a moment, and his eyes lit up, "Yes! If I can widen this riverbed and have more room for maneuver, I will naturally be able to make the tributaries merge smoothly!"
Ke Hanhuai smiled: "Exactly. Therefore, changing the meridians anytime and anywhere is the first essence of tidal flow. Tuoba Ye felt a sense of openness, and nodded again and again. Kehan Huai said: "The meridians are like rivers, they can't block the river, and if they block it, they will collapse." Instead, you should adapt to the situation and change as you wish, and guide this surging river to wherever you want to go. Tuoba Ye frowned and said, "But how can the meridians be changed?" Ke Hanhuai said: "The intention is that the qi comes first, and the qi goes at will." The meridians can be adjusted by your mind. ”
Ke Hanhuai was not in a hurry to teach him the method of mental power, and then said: "The nine meanders of the Yellow River have endured through the ages, and it is because she often changes the course of the river. It's just that the nine songs are actually different for a long time. However, the Yellow River and the Yangtze River are not the strongest currents. Tuoba Ye said: "The strongest current is naturally this ocean. Kehan Huai bowed his head and said, "Exactly." No matter how the river overflows, it disappears without a trace in the ocean. The sea is inclusive, and there is tolerance. If you want to unify the true qi of the five lakes and the four seas, you need to have the capacity of the sea. ”
Tuoba Ye looked at his stomach and the rough sea, and said with a smile: "My meal is only two catties of beef at most." Ke Hanhuai smiled slightly, and pointed his right hand at the Tuoba Ye Dantian: "Your sea is here." He stared at Tuoba Ye's puzzled face, and said word by word: "Practice Qi first practice Yi." Intention to guard the dantian and turn it into an ocean. When all the true qi arrives here, it will be like a river flowing into the sea. At that time, whether it was an ice spring or a mountain stream, it was just a drop of water from the ocean. ”
Tuoba Ye kept repeating in his heart: "The meridians are the river, and the dantian is the ocean." The intention is to be qi first, and qi to go at will. I repeated it dozens of times, but I felt that this truth seemed to be very simple, but it was indescribably difficult. His previous suffering was because the true qi in his body was too strong, like the flooding of the Yellow River, impacting the whole body, if he could channel the true qi of his body into the dantian qi sea like a river, it would naturally be wonderful. But how to accommodate a lot of true qi in the dantian, there was still a fog in his mind. Ask each other now.
Ke Hanhuai pointed to the full moon in the middle of the sky, and then pointed to the roaring sea, smiling silently. Tuoba ambition was even more confused, thinking, "Could this have something to do with the moon?" Suddenly his heart moved, and he vaguely understood something, but he couldn't say it.
The waves roared, the tide rose high, and gradually it reached their feet. Kehan Huai said: "Look at this sea, usually the wind is beautiful, and the microwave is not alarmed, but once it gets angry, it will be a tsunami and strong wind, which cannot be resisted, and no rocks and mountains can stop her." But, Brother Tuoba, do you know what caused the two tides that night?" Tuoba Ye shook his head. Ke Hanhuai said indifferently: "That's because of the moon in the sky." Tuoba Ye was very surprised, and thought to himself: "The moon causes tides, so doesn't the sun want to detonate the volcano?" Kohan Huai said: "All the astrologers in the Great Wilderness have observed that there must be large tides before and after the night of the full moon. I don't know why, but it must have something to do with the moon. The moon is thousands of miles above the earth, and it can affect the rise and fall of the sea. Why can't your mind control the true qi in your body?"
This sentence was like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, and it shook Tuoba Ye when he landed. Ke Hanhuai said: "The true qi gathers in the dantian, just like the sea. Your mental power is like the moon, which affects the rise and fall of the sea every day, and returns the true qi to the meridians of the whole body, circulating, and then returning to the ocean. Sensing the power of heaven and earth, turning into one, thousands of miles of oceans, rising and retreating at will, coming and going arbitrarily. This is the way of tidal current cultivation. ”
Tuoba Ye's heart beat like a deer when he heard it, his blood boiled, and even his breathing seemed to stop suddenly. It was as if the black cloth in front of him was suddenly lifted, and he suddenly saw a bright world that he had never seen before.
Ke Hanhuai said: "Resist the qi with the will, and nourish the will with the qi." In every tide, the rivers are accepted and circulated, so the sea will have such vitality and energy. Seeing the ecstasy on Tuoba Ye's face, he smiled slightly: "Actually, this is just an extremely superficial truth, and the tidal stream is not some difficult and difficult magic skill. Right now, a lot of true qi in your body, like the tide of Qiantang, is flowing wantonly. If you don't know how to control it, you will do great harm. However, if you persevere, every two times you cultivate the tidal current, you can incorporate it into the dantian qi sea and turn it into your own use. ”
When Tuoba Ye heard the words "perseverance", he couldn't help but blush slightly, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will practice seriously every time." Ke Hanhuai smiled: "That's fine." There is a surplus and a deficit in the month, but the cultivation should not be wasted. The root of tidal currents is to cultivate your mind. If your mind is firm and powerful, like a bright moon, then the true qi tide in your body can naturally do whatever you want. ”
He suddenly raised his right arm slightly, and with a "snort", the cyan true qi rushed out. Kehan Huai said: "The cyclone of the Broken Wave Cyclone is out of the sheath because of my mental power. The strength of its power is determined by the firmness and concentration of my mind. "The cyclone slash swirls at will, big and small. He continued, "But the method of cultivating mental power can only be understood and not spoken. There is a nine-character mantra that you can keep in mind: keep the dantian, and read the scattered mind. Your mental power is rooted in the sea of dantian qi, but the power can be transmitted thousands of miles away. ”
Intention to keep the dantian, the force is thousands of miles. What a state this is. Tuoba Ye is leisurely fascinated.
If other people heard Ke Hanhuai's words, they would definitely be greatly surprised. Because of the great famine at the time, it was divided into two repairs: "qi" and "meaning". Warrior Ranger advocates the practice of qi and pursues the realm of flying with qi and sword. The magician advocates the practice of will, the intention of the object, the unity of heaven and man. Standing on both sides of mind and spirit, and not being able to mix cultivation, is a legacy of the ancients. Although many rangers in the Great Wilderness also know magic, such as Qiao Yu, who is quite proficient in magic, he is still full of spirit. It is unheard of to break the boundary of "spirit", to resist the spirit with the will, and to nourish the will with the spirit. Tuoba Ye has no experience, so naturally he will not have the idea of being surprised and rejected, but he understands this strange qi control technique very thoroughly.
Ke Hanhuai was on the beach again, drawing a map of the acupoints and meridians around the human body with his fingers, and said: "The true qi in your body is hidden in the sixteen acupoints by Concubine Yu and me. But this is only an expedient measure, and it is up to you to gradually absorb these sixteen true qi into the dantian qi sea. Therefore, you need to memorize this meridian and acupoint diagram. "Pointing out the points on Tuoba Ye's body one by one, until he can say them one by one accurately.
At that moment, Kehanhuai got up, patted the sand on his body, and said, "Brother Tuoba, I can't help you anymore in the future." It is up to you to slowly comprehend it and gradually dissolve your true power. You're very talented, so it's not hard to think about it. But remember, it's all about perseverance. He looked at the bright moon in the sky, and then at the turbulent waves, and said: "Tonight's tidal drama, you can feel the mystery between heaven and earth." When the water is over your knees, it's time to go back to your room. ”
Ke Hanhuai stopped talking, and turned around and went back to Jixian Garden. Tuoba Ye was alone, sitting cross-legged on the beach, facing the full moon and tides, his heart was turbulent, and he silently recited the tidal mantra: "...... Practice Qi first practice the mind, the intention is to be the first to breath, and the qi will go at will. Hundreds of rivers enter the sea, and gas enters the dantian. The air is like a stream, and the meaning is like the moon. Heaven and man are one, with the intention to resist the qi, and the qi is like the tide......"
When it was said that in the Peach Blossom Source Cave, time was pressing, and Ke Hanhuai just gave him the mantra and explained the important places. In a hurry, although he was extremely talented, he only learned to scratch the surface. Listening to him explain in simple terms tonight, tell the story, and repeat this mantra, I was overjoyed when I felt a clear heart. Compared with the ecstasy of the first glimpse of the door, there is a little more epiphany of Chengning.
Tuoba Ye got rid of the distracting thoughts in his heart and guarded the dantian. The roaring tide in my ears gradually faded, and my heart was quiet. I don't know how long it took, but I felt that the dantian was empty. His mind was full of the meridians and acupuncture points drawn by Ke Hanhuai, and he gradually felt that the meridians in his body were vertical and horizontal, like rivers flowing. A lot of true qi is like a lake, faintly agitating. At the moment, concentrate your mind to let the true qi of the Jizhong acupoint flow towards the dantian along the meridians. After a while, the true qi actually flowed slowly and trickled towards the dantian.
Some time ago, it was said that he controlled the qi and regulated the breath, and he used the qi to control the qi, and occasionally used the intention to control the qi, which was also an unintentional work. But now it is said that he has deliberately controlled the flow of true qi with his mental power, but he has never done so. Although the air flow is slow, but the sense of qi is with it, gushing endlessly, which is free and easy, far from being controlled by qi, and the real power can be compared.
Tuoba Ye was surprised and delighted, the heat flow was really round, and finally flowed into the dantian, and it was really like a river entering the sea, empty in an instant.
True qi turnover, qi sea tides. The dantian is faintly like a rising tide, and then slowly retreating. After repeating this, I don't know how long it took, I suddenly felt cold on my legs, and when I opened my eyes, the waves were like thunder, and the white waves were rolling, and they had surged to his legs.
The moon is like a jade plate, the clear light is shining, and a long white light on the sea surface is swaying and waving. The indescribable tranquility and joy in his heart seemed to have been assimilated with the midnight sea.
※※※
After more than 20 days, when the tide rises and falls, Tuoba Ye will quietly come to the beach by the sea and practice this "tidal flow" cross-legged. He had a very high understanding of his surname, and he soon understood the essence of it. It's just that there are still some small places that I can't understand, remembering what Ke Hanhuai said, everything needs to be understood slowly by yourself, so I am not anxious for the time being, step by step. After three days, the true qi in the body can already rotate slowly at will, and then the progress is very fast, and the three acupoints in the body are gradually inhaled into the sea of qi. However, the true qi in his body is too strong, and if he wants to completely dissipate it, it is not something that can be done in one month.
When Bai Yue got along with the rangers, Tuoba Ye also asked them to teach the kung fu of the five clans. The envoys of the God Emperor begged each other, but naturally no one dared to refuse it, and they poured their money into it. Tuoba Ye learned a trick in the east and a style in the west, and after a month, he also learned a lot of complex martial arts of the five clans. remembered the book "Five Elements Spectrum" given to him by Shennong, so he took it out and read it. But the sentence was so difficult that after only a moment of reading, I became dizzy, so I put it away again. In his spare time, he still plays with the teenagers on the island.
The summer in Mirage City is cool and beautiful, and the people of the island retain the egalitarian wind of the Great Wilderness, although they have great respect for the city lord Qiao and others, but they are born of sincere admiration and gratitude, not because of awe. Life was quite leisurely, fishing, hunting, farming, contentment, and no harsh laws, which was very different from other city-states in the wilderness at that time.
The girl on the island is beautiful and affectionate, and she is quite affectionate to this young and handsome messenger of the God Emperor, and there are often girls who follow Tuoba Ye, or wait far away in front of the gate of Jixian Temple. If it weren't for the eccentric slender who finally followed Tuoba Ye and was inseparable, I was afraid that many girls would have come forward to talk to him.
Tuoba Ye saw those beautiful girls, although it was inevitable that he was moved, but for some reason, when he thought of the woman in white and the concubine of the rain, he felt sorry when he came, and the rippling heart was replaced by his thoughts about them. Occasionally, when he has insomnia, he takes out the agate incense burner and teardrop pendant, sees things and thinks about people, and his mind floats thousands of miles.
Happy times always fly by. In an instant, it was August 16.
August is the scimitar festival of the great wilderness. This is the moment when all the warriors in the Great Wilderness fight and kill the beasts and prove their courage and ability. Especially for young men in the Great Wilderness, this is also a carnival ceremony for entering adulthood. Every year, this day is second only to the Spring Festival. Before noon in August, everyone had to pull the hunted beasts to the square in the center of the city, where the elders would judge and determine the most ferocious and difficult beasts. The owner who hunted it will also be given a crescent scimitar and rated as the knife-playing warrior of the year. The scimitar warriors of the Mirage City over the years have become the humerus characters of today. For example, Duan Yukai once fought and killed the giant winged tiger fish, and Song Yizhi once captured the nine-section dragon alive.
At this time of year, all the teenagers are eager to try and dream of becoming famous. But there are always many teenagers who die in the belly of the beast because of this. Growth needs to be proven with blood and courage. Seeing that there are only three days left before the Scimitar Festival, the families put up lights and prepare for the celebration. The warriors of the city went out to sea or landed in the wilderness in search of the most ferocious beasts. Even Duan Yukai couldn't help but compete with the young man's youthful pride, and quietly drove the boat towards the East China Sea. Only Song Yizhi and the others hesitated again and again and stayed to take care of Qiao Yu.
Tuoba Ye wanted to go to sea with the heroes, but first, he was the messenger of the God Emperor, and if there was a mistake, no one could afford it; Although the group of heroes was friendly with Tuoba Ye, no one dared to take him out to sea to subdue the dragon and subdue the beast. In the past few days, I have been seeing some good friends of young people carrying lions and tigers back to the city triumphantly, and I am both annoyed and envious in my heart.
On the 14th day, someone saw the Cloud Splitting Dragon in the East China Sea a few months ago, and when the news came, the city shook when it landed, and in the middle of the day, many people went out to sea together to subdue it. Tuoba Ye was even more itchy when he heard it, but he could only cry out in vain.
August 15 was the high tide of the month, and when Tuoba Ye arrived at the beach that night, the tide was raging and had already overflowed the coral forest, but the reef under the south wall of Jixian Garden was still high above the waves. Wade through the water, climb the reef, sit cross-legged on a flat rock with few shells, and continue to practice tidal currents.
The waves are surging, and the layers of swells will come up, crashing on the reef, with a loud bang, slapping the waves more than two feet high, and falling like dense rain. The waves roared and the wind howled. The waves rushed on the dark sea, as if the entire sea level was constantly swaying and tilting.
The night sky was full of dark clouds, and the full moon was shuttling through the surging clouds.
Tuoba Ye sat on the reef for a moment, but he could not compose, the wind and waves grew stronger, and the tide rose nearly a foot higher, and roared a few feet below his feet.
Suddenly, he saw a few black shadows pushing a teak boat on the beach to the east in the distance, and his heart became alert, and he immediately jumped off the reef and ran, shouting, "Who is it?" Two of them are twin brothers, one is called Shan Jiusheng and the other is called Shan Jiufeng. The other two are tall and strong, called Ah San, and the last one is a tiger-headed tiger brain, called Ah Hu.
Chiyou exhaled and said, "Tuoba, how can it be you." I also said that it was Uncle Song Liu. "It turns out that these Chiyou always want to go to the sea to hunt spirit beasts, but since they encountered the Blue-Winged Sea Dragon Beast at sea a few months ago, Song Yizhi and the others have resolutely refused to let Chiyou go to the sea easily. Yesterday, when he heard that the Cloud Splitting Dragon appeared, Chi You couldn't sit still anymore, and when Song Yizhi and others were busy preparing for the Ming Festival at night, they sneaked out and asked four people to go to sea together, wanting to tame the Cloud Splitting Dragon before noon tomorrow. Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived on the beach, he was bumped into by Tuoba Ye.
Tuoba Ye looked at them, and when he saw it, he deliberately smiled and said, "You guys are not small, you actually went to the sea quietly with City Lord Qiao and Deputy Leader Song behind your back. If you get caught now, don't even think about watching the celebration tomorrow. Chi You and the others looked at each other, and their faces were bitter. Tuoba Ambition laughed secretly in his heart, changed his tone, and said, "However, if you take me to sea together, naturally no one will know." ”
The young men were overjoyed, and Chiyou frowned for a long time, and finally reached out and high-fived Tuoba, "Okay! But you have to listen to me when you get to sea." If something happens, I'll be locked up for the rest of my life. Tuoba Ye was overjoyed and gladly agreed.
At that moment, everyone pushed the boat to the surface of the sea and jumped into the cabin. The teak boat has a total of six seats and ten long oars. Shaped like an olive, coated with wax and oil, it can be closed for diving, and the transparent fossilized resin window can withstand the wind and waves of 12 levels. It is a small and medium-sized diving teak boat with excellent surname. The wind howled and the waves swelled, shaking the teak boat. All the teenagers are island men who have been through the wind and waves for a long time, and they quickly entered the seats. Chiyou sat at the stern of the boat at the helm.
Tuobano had never been on a diving boat before, and it was a novelty to watch the two bulkheads slowly close and finally be completely closed, and the resin fossil windows at the stern and bow could still see the sea outside. The four Kwan brothers were well-trained to prop the boat to the shore.
The white waves slapped one after another, leaving bursts of white foam on the resin window. The hull of the ship shook sharply, and after a while, it was already out into the sea.
The young people carried the oars like flying, and the teak boat broke the wind and waves, like a shuttle.
Chi You has the style of a father. Calm and composed, while steering the steering, he ordered the speed to be adjusted. Zhang Chi had a way, the rhythm was quite coordinated, and the teak boat rushed out without danger in the wind and waves.
The teak boat went out of the harbor, the wind and waves slowed down, and the speed of the boat was faster, and it was speeding towards the east. Twenty nautical miles out of the mirage city, the wind and waves turned smaller, but looking through the window, it was still a huge wave.
The hull of the ship was undulating in the waves, shaking Tuoba Ye's internal organs and turning the river and the sea, and he was indescribably sad. Seeing his ugly face, Chi You raised his eyebrows and smiled: "You can't stand this little wind and waves?" Tuoba Yeqiang smiled: "I? hehe, this boat is rocking around, it's really indescribably comfortable." If it's a little more violent, it's just right to somersault. "Running the tidal currents secretly, the flow of the qi, and the feeling of boredom and nausea is greatly reduced. When the young men saw him holding on, they all laughed.
After traveling more than ten nautical miles, the wind was greatly reduced, and the sea was much calmer. The dark clouds are scattered, and the bright moon is uncertain. The sea surface is bright and dark, and the waves and light converge.
Suddenly, Ah Hu shouted: "What is that?" Everyone looked at it, and there was a black thing floating on the sea, more than ten feet apart, and the moonlight was blurry, and it was not real. At the moment, the oars are rocked in unison, and they are fast approaching.
When they were two feet apart, they finally saw that it was a corpse. The men shook the gunway out of the way and hooked the corpse close with their oars. At a glance, Chi You and the others were taken aback, and they all exclaimed. The deceased raised his eyebrows and looked angry, his face was full of grief and indignation, and he was actually the first helmsman of Mirage City, Boss Qi, who went to sea three days ago.
Boss Qi is kind, and he is very familiar with Chi You and others, and has the friendship of master and apprentice in navigation technology. Suddenly, seeing his corpse floating on the sea, horror and sadness surged into everyone's hearts. Ah Hu cried with an "ah".
Chi You gritted his teeth and frowned, held back the grief in his heart, pulled Boss Qi onto the boat, and carefully examined it. But it was extremely strange that there was not a single wound on Zhou's body. There are many sharks and arowanas in the sea, and if there are slight wounds, they have already been eaten by melons. If the ship is sunk by a storm and swept to the bottom of the sea, with his water surname, it is natural to save his life. Even if he was drowned in the sea, he should have a large amount of seawater in his lungs and abdomen, but he was obviously poured into the sea after death. How did he die?
The sky is dark and the sea is dark, and the clouds and shadows are like ghosts. The cold wind blew, and the sea splashed in all directions, freezing to the bone. When the full moon is in the sky, the halo is dim, and it looks indescribably bleak and bleak.
