Chapter Twenty-Three: Penance in the Mountains
After taking out Dumar, the Grey Man took Garmin into an unusually wide carriage. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
At first glance, the carriage was worth a lot of money, with a black and shiny body and four bridles at the front, pulled by four high-headed horses with jet black and shiny colors.
After getting into the car, Gammin was shocked to find that the bald giant man who was as heavy as an ox was also in the car. However, at this time, the giant man had changed his outfit, wearing a gray-white coarse cloth short coat, his knotted chest muscles and arm flesh were exposed, and there was a circle of skull-like strange rosaries wrapped around his neck, each rosary extended from small to large to the head of the chain, and the head of the chain turned out to be a big iron ball the size of a water tank!
After exchanging glances with the gray-robed man, the bald giant looked at Jia Ming with an expressionless expression, like a statue.
After the three of them were seated, the carriage started slowly, and the coachman whipped his horse and galloped away towards the east wind.
For the next few days, apart from eating and drinking, the carriage rarely stopped to rest. Whenever the horses were about to lose their strength, there were always people waiting by the side of the road with spare horses, changing horses and continuing on their way.
Sometimes, meals are also served in the car, and the amount of food eaten by the bald giants is simply jaw-dropping. He could have eaten an entire fat sheep in one meal alone!, but when it was his turn to help, Gamin suddenly felt that he should eat more.
There was a landslide on the way due to heavy rain, and the horses were so frightened that they were reluctant to move forward together. In a fit of rage, the bald giant smashed several horses to death with a large iron ball, and then manipulated the carriage and dragged the carriage alone on the rugged dirt road.
Seeing the bald giant with such terrifying power actually obey the gray-robed man and abide by his duty as a servant, this made Jia Ming realize more and more deeply the unfathomable nature of the gray-robed man and the forces behind it.
The Grey-robed Man once mentioned that he was from the Eastern Diocese. However, the sect leader Suobitu has already made it clear that he wants to dye the king's spiritual breath, and this gray-robed man can actually take himself away from Suobitu's territory safely, then the forces behind this person are likely to involve the Eastern Sect, or even the level of the Eastern Holy Venerable!
Sobitu is in charge of the religious affairs of a country, and his status among the Thirty-Three Western Saints is second only to that of the Western Holy Venerable, and the only thing that can compromise him is the existence of the Dream Star Sea, which rules the Eastern Kingdoms.
On the way, Gammin once asked where he was going, "Go to a place where you should go." After the gray-robed man finished speaking indifferently, there was no more follow-up.
Gaming knew that he couldn't ask the result, so he simply stopped asking and followed them all the way, waiting for the development of the situation.
In the next few days, the carriage continued to move all the way east, and after changing ships and sailing through the Canglang River, which divided the east and west of the continent, the gray-robed man took Jia Ming into a simple ox cart, and Jia Ming vaguely felt that the destination should not be far away.
The gray-robed man drove the ox cart and drove Jia Ming along the mountain road, while the bald giant man followed the cart with a large iron ball without saying a word.
After many days of traveling, Jia Ming couldn't help but be deeply attracted by the picturesque landscapes on both sides of the road.
Looking around, I saw the twilight of the mountains, like a fairyland, and the blue lake and colorful lotus were beautiful.
The ox cart came to a halt in a courtyard with a dozen or so wooden houses, and Gammin thought that this should be the place to stay.
A delicate and graceful woman in her twenties welcomed them in, and when she saw that the bald giant man asked her to eat, and the woman kept gesturing with her hands, Jia Ming knew that the woman was a mute girl.
The man in gray did not restrict Gamin's movements, and Gammin wandered around the cabin curiously.
It turns out that this courtyard is fully equipped, such as a practice room, a study room, a piano room, a bedroom, a tea room, and so on. Especially in the study room, there are a lot of rare books on martial arts practice, and Jia Ming made up his mind that he must come and read them in the future.
After browsing every house, Gammin found that every corner had been cleaned clean, and he had to admire the dumb girl's ability to manage.
By the time the mute girl brought a few plates of chic dishes and pastries, Gamin didn't know what to say.
Jia Ming didn't expect that in the depths of this inaccessible mountain forest, such a delicious food could be made, and as soon as he tasted it, he was out of control, ignoring the stunned expression of the gray-robed man, and feasted on it again and again.
Seeing Jia Ming's gobbling up, the gray-robed man finally spoke: "Your previous injury, after the conditioning of Singh and others, should be almost healed." We will be practicing here for the next three months, and I will formulate a specific training plan according to your physique and the characteristics of the True Yuan Palace. ”
Jia Ming had already heard about the martial arts test in three months, but he was still a little surprised that the gray-robed man had arranged it like this.
The gray-robed man continued: "In the future, except for questions about martial arts, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, and if you ask, it's a vain question." You don't have to call me Master, my name is 'Fa Yuan', you can call me 'Uncle Yuan'. ”
Source ...... Uncle Yuan. Jia Ming looked at the gray-robed man's solemn and irrefutable expression, and then looked at the mute girl who was speechless and the big bald head with an expression that had not changed for thousands of years, and nodded helplessly.
※※※※※※
From the second day, under the careful guidance of Fa Yuan, Jia Ming began to train like a devil.
Because Jia Ming's martial arts foundation is relatively weak, Fa Yuan asked Jia Ming to start practicing hard from various martial arts foundations, from horse step stumps, fighting skills, to light martial arts and other foreign physical arts, Fa Yuan has formulated a strict training plan, and continues to squeeze towards Jia Ming's physical limit.
In addition, Fa Yuan also guided Jia Ming to do key training on breathing, exhalation, qi expansion, qi and other aspects of the inner family's mental method, such as breathing, exhalation, qi and qi integration.
Jia Ming is eager for revenge for his sister, and hopes to strengthen himself in the future, so that he can visit his mother's life experience in the future, and at the same time live up to the master's hidden servant, so he is not resistant to this hellish devil training, but fully cooperates from the heart.
But Fa Yuan was still not at ease, and every time he pointed out, he would flee like a ghost, leaving the bald giant man to guard him.
The big bald head named "Kunnu" always plucked peanuts while drinking the small wine in the gourd, and lay drunk not far away. It seems that he is asleep, but if Gammin hesitates a little or his fist is not standard enough, the peanut grains will definitely fly to him and hit Gamin's head or joints.
"Luckily, it's peanuts, if you get hit by that thing......"
Jia Ming's scalp tingles every time he thinks of the big iron ball the size of a water tank, and he dares to slack off.
And wherever Gamin goes, he will always find Kunnu not far away, and sometimes when he gets up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet, he can actually find him waiting for him......
Jia Ming never had the intention of running away, thinking that the other party might also have the intention of protecting himself, and over time, he became accustomed to such a ghostly existence.
Jia Ming trained very hard, and with such a plague god-like overseer as Kunnu by his side, after a month, Jia Ming's martial arts progress not only surprised him greatly, but also made Fa Yuan very satisfied.
During this time, the strange dream that had plagued Garmin for a long time gradually faded, and Gamin remembered that the last time he dreamed of the little girl, she had grown a little more, and a pair of young purple wings had grown on her back.
In the dream, she still held a huge death scythe, and with many skeletons and hungry ghosts, she kept marching in a certain direction until she entered a desolate land......
Since then, the strange dream has not returned.
Gammin didn't know the reason, and he didn't dare to ask anyone, so he simply stopped thinking about it.
As long as he completes the day's training homework, Kunnu will not interfere with what Gamin does. Therefore, every night, Jia Ming would go to the study to read those rare books, and he read the two sets of books "Hongwu Catalogue" and "The Salvation of the Holy Spirit" with great relish.
The "Hongwu Atlas" records many unknown cultivation secrets. One of the secret methods of gathering the True Yuan and detonating the True Yuan Palace could increase its own destructive power by more than ten times.
Although he did not practice, he secretly wrote down the method. His enemies are some existences that ordinary people look up to, and as a last resort, Jia Ming will not hesitate to choose to burn jade!
The "Holy Spirit Salvation" is a sacred classic, during which it records many deeds of the great Holy Spirit master "helping the world", "fighting the strong of the demon race" or "punishing heretics".
Gammin was not interested in these "deeds", but he was interested in the description of the hierarchy of the Holy Spirit Master in the book.
It turns out that if you want to become a Holy Spirit Master of the Holy Religion, there is an extremely strict selection process. First, the Holy Sect selects those with strong soul power from among the saints and cultivates them, and then according to the secret method recorded in the "Gathering Spirit Sutra", the special spirit seed is hatched with the divine soul, and the soul imprint is left in the spirit seed, and the condensation of the holy spirit body can be completed.
According to the records in the book, the hierarchy of the Holy Spirit Body is divided into nine stars, from low to high, they are called one-star "Green Scale Messenger", two-star "Iron Armor Spirit Soldier", three-star "Bronze Armor Spirit Guard", four-star "Silver Armor Spirit General", five-star "Golden Armor Heavenly King", six-star "Purple Gold War Emperor", seven-star "Imperial Void Spirit King", eight-star "Guiyuan Spirit King" and nine-star "Taiyi Spirit Emperor".
In order to judge the progression of the Holy Spirit Body, you need to use a secret method to open the "Heavenly Eye", and then you can directly observe the "Nine-pointed Star" luminous body at the chest position of the Holy Spirit Body with the "Heavenly Eye" between the eyebrows, and the number of the nine thorns of the "Nine-pointed Star" is lit up represents the number of the Holy Spirit Body.
The book also records that the nine-star Holy Spirit Body "Taiyi Spirit Emperor" was only learned by the Holy Spirit Emperor Gu Tuo in the world, and it is said that the power of its "Great Destruction Technique" can cause tens of thousands of demons to be wiped out with a single blow......
With such power, Gaming couldn't help but be shocked.
Before I knew it, three months had passed in a hurry.
Jia Ming looked back and found that since entering the mountain to cultivate, the master's hidden servant had refined two-thirds of the true yuan fetus in the True Yuan Palace, and the speed of his own qi gathering and guidance had also been greatly improved, and now he was able to achieve the harmony of qi and will, and the qi from the heart to the heart, instantly penetrating the true qi in the palm of his hand!
In addition, his light skills have also made great progress.
There is a towering giant tree called "piercing the sky" in the dense forest of the back mountain, and the adult trees are more than ten zhang high. Occasionally, when he has leisure time to practice, Jia Ming will also sneak into the dense forests of the back mountains to collect melons and fruits.
Now it only takes a few leaps for Gammin to reach the top of the tree, chasing the horde of wild monkeys and playing to his heart's content.
Thinking about the upcoming martial arts test, Jia Ming's heart couldn't help but be full of anticipation!
