114 Signs
Mountains to mountains, trees to trees, endless forests. The tall trees cover the sky and block the scorching sun overhead.
This is deep in the mountains.
The mountains are like this everywhere, and even if the woods here are a little thicker, there is nothing surprising. So of course Cheng Jun can't tell where this place is by virtue of this forest, and he is not good at this.
Of course, Zhang Yanxu couldn't, he was sitting cross-legged in the cave, meditating to recover his lost essence and blood.
It's no wonder that Zhang Yanxu's blood escape was too sharp - he didn't choose it at that time, and subconsciously used his most powerful escape method, walking hundreds of miles between a few breaths.
This kind of blood escape almost catches up with the kind of supernatural power that is close to the end of the world or the spirit heaven and earth, and the consumption can be imagined, not to mention that Zhang Yanxu fell headlong after stopping the blood escape, and he was unconscious. Even when Cheng Jun just stopped, he was like a bloody man.
In the process of space transformation, Cheng Jun was cut countless times by Gangfeng, if it weren't for the talisman he had already hidden on his body, it was estimated that he would have become even more ugly than the carrion corpse.
Fortunately, those wounds were skin trauma after all, Cheng Jun healed himself casually, and then cleaned the blood and dirt on his body, and after resting for a long time, he couldn't see anything. However, Zhang Yanxu has been meditating on his knees, and it seems that the consumption is not small.
Zhang Yanxu's body was like a clay sculpture, motionless for several hours, and under the calm surface, there seemed to be a surging air current. Cheng Jun felt his breath, and was secretly surprised in his heart - although he was still very calm on the outside, the slightest trace of aura seemed to be starting to move towards a track that he was very familiar with in his previous life.
Sure enough, within a moment, a vortex of aura gradually formed above his head, gradually turning from a faint fluctuation to visible to the naked eye. The whirlpool became larger and larger, and the aura of heaven and earth vibrated on a small scale, constituting a strange rhythm, with a faint sound of wind and thunder.
"Hey, this kid is a blessing in disguise, and he's going to turn his anger into essence. The old demon jumped out and said in a low voice, "It's so young, I think that although he has a good look, his real age is never more than a hundred years old, and he is about to be promoted to a real person now." ”
Cheng Jun was secretly surprised, according to the memories of his previous life, it seems that Zhang Yanxu became a real person a few years later, but now because of his own agitation, did he get this opportunity in advance?
If so, he may have changed his actions in the future, at least some of them may not have to be as urgent as they were in his previous life, then...... Will the general trend of history change?
At its peak, the whirlpool did not go any further, but gradually dissipated, and the air returned to calm. Cheng Jun knew that this was not a failure, but a means to control his own cultivation. Zhang Yanxu didn't want to advance in a hurry, but he could start at any time as long as he wanted.
After a long time, Zhang Yanxu slowly opened his eyes, opened his mouth, and was about to say something, when suddenly, a trace of fishy wind wafted in the air, although it was only a trace, but the stench was enough to make people vomit.
Cheng Jun and Zhang Yanxu changed color at the same time - this smell is familiar, in addition to the carrion corpse, it is hard to imagine that there is a second person with such a ** taste.
I only heard an angry roar in the distance, like a thunderbolt, this time Zhang Yanxu and Cheng Jun glanced at each other and smiled bitterly together - there is no doubt that the old thing is chasing after him.
The two of them changed color at the same time, but they were only for a moment, and they recovered one after another, and together they quietly converged the traces of true qi. Zhang Yanxu pointed down, and the two got up at the same time and walked to the back of the cave.
When he chose the cave to live in, it was Cheng Jun who discovered this cave, because it looks inconspicuous on the surface, and there is a deep back cave underground, and it is even connected to an underground river, forming a large karst cave that hollows out half of the mountain.
Entering the cave, Cheng Jun lit a flashing talisman, only to see that the stalagmites in the cave were strange, and a dark river flowed through the soles of his feet, exuding cold moisture.
Cheng Jun stared at the underground river and said, "If you use the technique of water escape, you can escape dozens of miles away again along this river......
Zhang Yanxu shook his head and said: "My blood escape has escaped eight hundred miles away in an instant, and he is entangled endlessly, how can he be enough for dozens of miles?" He said slowly: "I almost suffered just now, and it was all up to you to save my life." Zhang Yanxu never thanked him for his kindness, but he must keep it in his heart, and he will be rewarded. ”
Cheng Jun smiled and said, "The Venerable Master doesn't have to be like this. If I hadn't fought to the death, I wouldn't have survived. He didn't believe Zhang Yanxu's words, Zhang Yanxu's surname has many problems, but his character is not bad, and Cheng Jun is also convinced, otherwise he wouldn't have ruined his life-saving hole card just now to save him - although it is also to ensure the continuation of the general trend of the world, but it is also a gamble for himself, gambling, how to get a high return if you don't bet heavily? Moreover, this gambling is only about whether the two can escape, not Zhang Yanxu's character, Cheng Jun was sure that he had won after escaping, and now this sentence is just the proper meaning of the question.
But what Zhang Yanxu really wants to say should not be this sentence......
Sure enough, Zhang Yanxu said: "It's just that now you and I are not out of danger, so we have to be troublesome......
Before he could finish speaking, suddenly there was a tremor in the air, and a sharp birdsong was heard.
The source of the sound was not elsewhere, but Cheng Jun's body, the first birdsong was sharp and loud, with a strange chord sound, Cheng Jun and Zhang Yanxu were stunned at the same time.
Zhang Yanxu was stunned at first, and then immediately said, "Congratulations." So you ...... too."
Before Cheng Jun could speak, the second birdsong had suddenly burst out, and this sound was clear to everyone, it was from Cheng Jun's body bones. The birdsong is more and more pleasant, colliding on the walls of the underground cave, and there are bursts of echoes that can be heard far away......
Cheng Jun laughed lightly, pinched his wrist pulse with his hand, shook it violently, his face turned white suddenly, and then spit out a mouthful of blood, and the third birdsong just sounded, suddenly like a broken string, a trembling murmur, abruptly stopped.
Zhang Yanxu couldn't help but be shocked, and shouted: "You're crazy - you know what you did?" Because he was a little excited, he grabbed his shoulders and pressed him against the wall.
Cheng Jun's face was very ugly, and he couldn't speak for a while, and after a while, he said, "No matter what...... Now is not the time. ”
Now is not the time.
A thousand birds and a song, full of fairy bones.
How did Cheng Jun not know that the signal just now was that the immortal bones around him were filled with aura to the extreme, so that he could no longer contain a trace of aura, so that there was a sound that resonated like a bird between the immortal bones, in other words, this situation just meant that he was going to build a foundation.
The initiation period is a period of adaptation in the early stage of cultivation, and its main role is to adapt to the mutual communication between the aura of heaven and earth and the human body. Although it can also cultivate true qi and use all kinds of spells, the transformation of the body itself is almost equal to zero. Therefore, all the monks in the initiation period, regardless of whether they are young monks who have just entered the Dao or monks who are at the peak of their initiation, are all **mortals, as long as they are sneak attacked, they can be cut in two by ordinary swords. All kinds of supernatural powers and better magic weapons were not prepared for this group of junior monks in the cultivation world. Even Cheng Jun can only know a few more spells and write a few more runes, there is nothing special about it.
Only when it reaches the foundation building period and achieves the Dao body, can it really be a half-immortal body - although it is said that a half-immortal is a bit boastful, but it is already separated from ordinary mortals, and that is true.
To put it bluntly, the cultivation of the initiation period is to fill the true qi into the meridians of one's own family, and then attach the spiritual energy to the immortal bones, and wait until the immortal bones and spiritual qi are filled to the limit, and the sound of a thousand birds and chirping occurs, indicating that the immortal bones have changed from quantitative to qualitative changes, and the true qi has turned into true yuan, and you can build a Dao body and reach the foundation.
Cheng Jun fought with Qinglongguan this time, although it didn't take much effort, but after all, it was a kick in the door and ushered in this opportunity. However, Cheng Jun just now brutally defeated the true yuan that was being transformed in his body, and snuffed out his chance of promotion. Not only that, the price of Zhenyuan being forcibly beaten back to his true qi is extremely high, at least the next chance to advance will be many years later than now, and even the transformation will not be so smooth, maybe without a large number of drugs to assist, there will be no second chance for promotion at all.
This result even Zhang Yanxu looked at it and was surprised, Cheng Jun is a talent he values very much, he actually destroyed his future, how not to make him angry, and said angrily: "Do you know how rare this opportunity is? In this case, you don't even need a foundation-building pill, and when you pass it steadily, you can enter that threshold, why do you have extraneous branches?"
Cheng Jun said calmly: "I just don't want to make trouble. ”
Zhang Yanxu was stunned, and Cheng Jun had already said, "You...... You're going to make the cut, aren't you? I read in the book that the whirlpool of spiritual energy is the harbinger of turning qi into refinement. ”
Zhang Yanxu nodded, the signs of turning qi into essence are the same as the immortal bone Qi Ming, there are very large fluctuations, as long as they know the mystery, anyone can probe it, he has no doubts.
Cheng Jun looked at him seriously and said, "Now that the rotting corpse outside has been chased here, you and my surname are in danger, if you can defeat him at this time, the only hope is of course only you." If the two of us advance at the same time, who can delay one or two enemies from outside? My meager strength, even if I can go further, it will only help, it is better to assist you with all my might. If you can turn your anger into refinement, even if I lose my surname, it will be worth it, not to mention just a mere chance to advance? Not only me, but anyone else will choose this way when faced with this situation. ”
Zhang Yanxu looked at him with a faint gaze, and after a long time, he said, "That's it." After this incident, I, Zhang Yanxu, have said first, and I will definitely give you a perfect chance to advance. ”
Cheng Jun smiled and said, "Thank you." ”
Thank God for giving myself the right raise.
