Chapter 134: Cultivation in the Deep Mountains (I)
"Big brother, I saved my life, and I am worried that I will not be able to repay your great kindness, how can I take your money again? The little boy didn't dare to make an offer to Lin Xu, making it clear that he was voluntarily volunteering to be his guide into the mountain.
Lin Xu saw that the little boy was so sincere, if he refused again, he would live up to the kindness of others, which made people feel uneasy. Besides, he did save the little boy from the bad guys who bullied the weak just now, and he also wanted to give others a chance to repay the favor.
"Well, little brother, since you have said so, then you are welcome. Lin Xuan smiled and nodded in agreement.
When the little boy saw this, he was very happy, so he introduced himself to Lin Xu. It turned out that his name was Zhang Xiaodong, and he was only seventeen years old this year, one year younger than Lin Xu. He is a local, and he grew up in Qianbing Town under the Thousand Ice Mountains since he was a child, so he naturally has not entered the Thousand Ice Mountains, so he is particularly familiar with the routes and situations on the mountains.
Lin Xu then told Zhang Xiaodong his name, and introduced him to Zhou Mengfeng, Li Shiwei and others.
In this way, Lin Xu's entourage changed from five people at the beginning to six people. Including Zhou Mengfeng's only girl, everyone carried a package on their backs and walked towards the Thousand Ice Mountain Range. Everyone seemed very happy and happy, and they looked very interested.
Although they do not yet know what dangers lie ahead and what difficulties they will encounter, they are still full of confidence in their future. And it is precisely this unknown that makes it more attractive to them.
Under the leadership of Zhang Xiaodong, Lin Xuyi walked very fast, and in half a day, he had already reached Wolf Head Peak. This is the first mountain to enter the Thousand Ice Mountains, but it is also very dangerous. This danger is not because the terrain of Wolf Head Peak is steep and difficult to climb and climb, but because there are still demon wolves on the peak.
According to Zhang Xiaodong's introduction, the demon wolves on Wolf Head Peak were not like the demon wolves that Lin Xu had encountered in the Warcraft Forest before, ranging from one-star low-level demon wolves to five-star high-level demon wolves. This wolf's head peak is full of high-level demon wolves above three stars, which are very ferocious and pose a huge threat to people.
Because the environment on the mountain peak is very different from that in the Warcraft Forest. The demon wolf here also has one more skill than the demon wolf in the Warcraft Forest. That is, they are able to walk upright like humans. This was the first time Lin Xu had heard of it, and he had never seen it before.
The two front paws of the demon wolf on the peak of the wolf's head are particularly sharp and are used to attack opponents who pose a threat to them. The wolf fangs in their mouths are also particularly hard, and some are even able to bite through the gravel of the mountain, which sounds scary and incredible.
However, for Lin Xu's party. Such a high-level demon wolf is more suitable for them. Because the purpose of their entry into the mountain this time was to test the effect of their cultivation. If the level of the demon wolves is too low, they will not be able to test their true level, so these high-level demon wolves are better test objects.
When listening to Zhang Xiaodong's introduction to the demon wolf here, Lin Xu really wanted to meet the demon wolf immediately, but seeing that it was almost dark, the demon wolf had not yet appeared. He had no choice but to arrange the camp for tonight.
"Xiaodong, according to your previous experience, how should you set up camp on the mountain to be more secure?" Lin Xu, this was the first time he had gone to a thousand icebergs, so he was ashamed to ask and asked the experienced Zhang Xiaodong for advice.
"Brother Lin, there are many trees on the mountain, which is suitable for building simple wooden houses. Let's build a wooden house, so that it will be safer at night, and only need to leave one person to keep vigil, so we don't have to worry about being attacked by demons. Zhang Xiaodong immediately told Lin Xu his own method.
Lin Xu immediately adopted Zhang Xiaodong's suggestion and instructed the brothers to split up and immediately start building a wooden house. Leopard Print has the most strength, picks up the axe he has prepared before, and goes to cut down the tree. Wang Lung, on the other hand, took a shovel and dug four large pits in the mud on the mountain to bury wooden stakes.
Lin Xu and Li Shiwei worked together to trim the leopard-print cut trees into logs, and then moved them to the open space where the wooden houses were to be built. Zhang Xiaodong is particularly experienced in building wooden houses on the mountain, so he taught Lin Xu and others to build wooden houses in detail and patiently, and at the same time he also did it himself, and he was not idle for a moment.
As for the only girl, Zhou Mengfeng. Lin Xu couldn't bear to let her do the heavy work, so he asked her to cook for everyone. Zhou Mengfeng knew that everyone took special care of herself, and she was very moved, so she used her housekeeping skills to make a hearty and delicious dinner for everyone.
Before entering the mountain, Lin Xu and the others bought a lot of ingredients at the market in Qianbing Town, so now they don't even need to look for anything else, and they don't have to hunt for game, Zhou Mengfeng has ready-made ingredients to cook.
Everyone worked together and cooperated very tacitly. Lin Xu and the other five men quickly built a simple wooden house, and Zhou Mengfeng also cooked dinner for everyone alone.
After Lin Xu and the others ate the food cooked by Zhou Mengfeng, they all unanimously praised Zhou Mengfeng's good cooking skills and cooking very fragrant, and everyone was very happy.
In the evening, Zhang Xiaodong took the initiative to keep vigil for everyone. Because he was very familiar with the conditions on the mountain, he could walk in the dark even without any light. If there is any danger, he can notify everyone as soon as possible.
Lin Xu and the others had no objection to this. After all, for this mountain, none of them has more say than Zhang Xiaodong. Follow his kind advice, and nothing will go wrong.
In fact, for cultivators like Lin Xu, it was not like resting and sleeping as soon as it got dark. Before they rest, they are always used to practicing again, or practicing for a while, or something.
Now Li Shiwei and Leopard Wang Long walked outside the wooden house to practice. Because the martial arts cultivation of the three of them is almost the same, practicing together will form a mutual promotion and common improvement effect. And Lin Xu and Zhou Mengfeng were meditating and cultivating in the wooden house respectively.
The temporary wooden house was very simple, and there were no stone platforms or beds in the house, and even the sleeping had to be laid on the floor, so Lin Xuan would directly sit on the ground and cultivate.
He sat cross-legged, silently reciting the mantra on Wan Mianzhang's hand sentence by sentence, and his hands moved accordingly, re-practicing his previous primary Wan Mianzhang, which he had successfully cultivated.
The first primary mudra was successfully formed. Lin Xuxuan had an epiphany, and there seemed to be a sense of sudden enlightenment and enlightenment in his heart. His palms also danced and ran along a trajectory full of mysteries according to the mantra of the exercises on Wan Mian's palms.
After a while, the second mudra was successfully formed. This made Lin Xu feel particularly surprised. Because this is no longer at the beginning of the first mudra, but has risen to the intermediate level of the Wanmian palm.
Lin Xu was secretly happy that he had suddenly made a breakthrough tonight. At this moment, he felt that his mind seemed to have completely broken all the previous obstacles, and the range of his senses became extremely wide and clear.
He looked inward at the dantian and found that the white air mass in it had become churning rapidly as he practiced to the intermediate Wanmian palm, and no longer stayed in the dantian quietly as before, making Lin Xuan both worried and at a loss.
Now Lin Xuan found that the white air mass had been churning and rotating rapidly, as if it might rush out of the dantian at any time, he was worried that this air mass would get out of control, so he firmly controlled this white air mass with his own mind.
Under the control of Lin Xu's mind, the white air mass really did not rush out of the dantian at will, and the range of activities was completely in accordance with Lin Xu's thoughts, only limited to the dantian. Even if Lin Xuan wanted it to rise a little, it would obediently rise a little, and if Lin Xuan wanted it to go down a little, it would descend meekly.
In this way, Lin Xuan was full of confidence, feeling that he was completely able to control this white air mass with his mind, and would never let it get out of his control, nor would he harm his body. In this way, he should be able to try to transport the qi mass out of the dantian and use it for his own use.
If the white air mass is allowed to stay in the dantian forever, it will definitely not be able to play its due role. When Lin Xuan was in a state of battle with the enemy, because it still had to occupy the space in the dantian, there might be tens of millions of Lin Xu's true qi insufficiency.
So now Lin Xuan must take precautions and first find a way to make better use of this white air mass. In this way, you will be able to use all the skills you have mastered with confidence in the unknown battles in the future.
After making up his mind, Lin Xuan immediately began to implement it. Once again, he was sure that the white air mass was moving with his thoughts, so he boldly guided it out of his dantian and directly onto his palm.
Originally, it was still a white air mass, but under Lin Xu's forcible division, it was actually split into two and turned into two masses, reaching the palms of his hands respectively.
Lin Xuan didn't dare to be careless, and hurriedly concentrated all his energy and focused on his palms. He seemed to have become particularly intelligent and sensitive, and his thinking had also taken a big leap, and he even thought about directly cultivating the high-level Wan Mianzhang to see if he could succeed.
As soon as he practiced the intermediate Wan Mianzhang, he continued to practice the advanced level, which in the eyes of others, there was indeed a feeling of being in a hurry. But Lin Xuan felt that the true qi and energy in his body had undergone such obvious and strong changes, so he had to try his best to give it a good try.
As long as it is within his control, moderate risk-taking is fine, and it should not cause the consequences of going mad.
Do what you think. Lin Xu immediately set about to make the handprint of the high-grade Wan Mian palm, but he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head, which made his whole body feel particularly uncomfortable. That's not a good sign. Fortunately, Lin Xuan had already been prepared, and immediately paused and no longer forcibly practiced the high-level Wan Mianzhang.
