The moonlit moat stretches into the distance like a sparkling silver ribbon.

Zhao Qing sat on the eaves of the corner tower of the city wall, thinking about Wu Ming's martial arts that he had revealed not long ago.

What caught her attention the most was not the pure yang internal skill that could set people on fire in the air, not Wu Ming's trick of using yin and yang true qi to form a true qi barrier, nor the yoga technique that violated the structure of the human body;

Instead, he blocked the investigation of his seventh sense, and used a method that seemed to be the unity of heaven and man.

The seventh consciousness is, in the final analysis, just a sense hidden in the depths of consciousness, which can be obscured by people like hearing and sight. However, the detected glow of the human body can blend with the surrounding environment, which undoubtedly means that Wu Ming has mastered a method of integrating his body into the external world.

The human body is a small world, and the outside is a big world, grasping the natural principle of the two worlds, and the two worlds inside and outside will merge into one, which is the way of "the unity of heaven and man".

If you can truly control the power of the great heaven and earth, the strength you will exert is of course much stronger than that of simple manpower.

However, in the process of escaping, Wu Ming did not use this powerful ability, but was almost stabbed by the flying sword.

Not unwillingly, but unwillingly?

Could it be that this method of his is not to integrate the energy in his body with heaven and earth, but what is really fused together, is actually his spiritual power and heart?

So, the glow detected by the seventh consciousness is actually a picture of the human body's energy being projected into the spirit and then projected outward from the spirit?

This can be regarded as the difference between the unity of heaven and man in energy and the unity of heaven and man in spirit.

Suddenly, Zhao Qing figured out this question.

She concentrated and meditated, gradually eliminating the distracting thoughts in her heart, and slowly spread out the seventh consciousness that had been condensed into one, spreading to the surrounding environment.

With the passage of time, Zhao Qing felt as if he had become the center of heaven and earth, the power of his mind was constantly magnifying, and the concept of "self" gradually became ambiguous.

All of a sudden, the fish and shrimp in the moat around the corner tower gradually had a faint sense with themselves, forgetting the two things and merging into one.

The sound of his own breathing, heartbeat, blood flow, the cool autumn wind blowing at night, the faint ripple oscillation on the river surface, and the sound of birds fluttering their wings outside the mile are all reflected in the depths of my soul.

It is the feeling of the distant moonlight falling on me, and I really have a different experience.

……

On August 16, it was foggy in the early morning.

After a night of spiritual practice, Zhao Qing not only increased his spiritual power, but also had his own understanding of "the unity of heaven and man".

In her view, the "unity of heaven and man" can be divided into four stages: the spiritual sympathy of heaven and man, the spiritual sympathy of heaven and man, the spiritual unity of heaven and man, the martial arts of heaven and man, the initial attraction of the power of heaven and earth, and the unity of martial arts and man, which can use the power of heaven and earth freely.

The first two are mainly in the spiritual realm, which affects the comprehension and play of martial arts; The latter two are the realm of martial arts practice, which can also be called "the essence of seizing heaven and earth" and "combining heaven with people".

Among them, each adjacent stage may exist at the same time, for example, while communicating a radius of ten miles, it also attracts the power of heaven and earth within a radius of a hundred feet.

The depth of each stage is not only related to the scope involved, but also to the time it takes to enter the state and how long it lasts.

Zhao Qing self-estimated that at present, he has probably reached a realm where he can enter and maintain the sympathy of spiritual heaven and man almost at any time; The spirit of heaven and man is one, and if you meditate for a period of time, you can enter smoothly;

It is the sympathy of martial arts heaven and man, and in special circumstances, it is also possible to enter the state and maintain a few breaths.

Wu Ming's level seems to be slightly half a step higher than his own, mainly due to his rich experience and high proficiency.

After Wu Ming was injured last night, his speed barely slowed down, perhaps because he entered the spiritual unity of heaven and man, and suppressed the physical injury with his spirit.

……

Returning to the small courtyard of Huamanlou, Zhao Qing saw Lu Xiaofeng and the others who had been waiting there for a long time.

Last night, Wu Ming's speed was so fast that several of them didn't have time to catch up to intercept it, so they weren't injured.

"With his own strength, he broke out of the encirclement of thousands of troops and horses, the little old man is really the only master I have seen in my life."

Lu Xiaofeng casually picked off a bamboo leaf on the side, and chatted with Hua Manlou, Shi Xiuxue and others: "However, even such a peerless figure was still injured by Miss Zhao's sword last night.

Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of Zhao Qing, who had just arrived in the courtyard, and greeted: "After Wu Ming fled last night, we quickly controlled those spies hiding in the army, and found out the strongholds and members of the vast majority of the Blue Dragon Society in the capital. ”

Zhao Qing nodded and said, "Wu Ming's traces, have you found them now?" ”

Lu Xiaofeng thought for a while and said, "There is no clue to this. There is one more thing, Miss Zhao, City Lord Ye found me in the middle of the night and said that he had something to talk to you about, and he was waiting in the abandoned garden in the west of the city. ”

……

Soon after, the west of the city was abandoned. On the path that had been covered by the grass, a man and a woman were standing at this time.

Zhao Qing quietly looked at Ye Gucheng not far away, saw his restrained edge, and exclaimed: "I haven't seen you for more than a month, and the sword intent of Ye City Lord has grown a lot. ”

Ye Gucheng's eyes showed the color of memory, and he sighed: "The experience in the past month or so has surpassed my life in the past thirty years. ”

"Whether it is Miss Zhao, you, or the little old man Wu Ming, they have brought me unimaginable vibration and guidance. Especially Wu Ming, his martial arts are really unfathomable. ”

"However, although Wu Ming has a lot of guidance for me, and he has the intention of teaching me the Invisible Man Organization, I really can't tolerate the methods he uses. Therefore, I took great pains to show him your life-killing swordsmanship, and urged Wu Ming to practice his cultivation, hoping that he would be killed by the fifteenth sword. ”

Zhao Qing nodded and said, "If you want to exert the maximum power of the 'Flying Immortals Outside the Sky', you have to be flawless in your heart and flawless in your sword. Wu Ming forcibly restricted your personal freedom, then he is the enemy on your sword path. ”

"Not bad." Ye Gucheng continued: "But I didn't expect that instead of being controlled by this fifteenth sword, he fused it with his own martial arts, and it seemed that he was about to make an unprecedented breakthrough. ”

"In the face of Wu Ming's uncontrollable martial arts, I originally planned to fight with my life and use the sword that I had accumulated to the extreme, hoping to have the opportunity to exchange my life for injury, so that after me, someone could really defeat him. But what I didn't expect was that last night, Wu Ming was actually injured under your sword. ”

Zhao Qing's eyes flashed, and he asked, "So you want to ask me to try this sword you prepared for Wu Ming?" ”

Ye Gucheng was suddenly silent, the sword he prepared for the enemy was going to attack his friend in the end, which was undoubtedly difficult to understand.

But this is indeed Ye Gucheng's sword path: no matter what the outcome of this sword is, the grievances and hatred between him and Wu Ming will be transferred to the decisive battle between Zhao Qing and Wu Ming a month later.

Zhao Qing could understand what he meant, after Ye Gucheng came out with this sword, his sword moves and sword intent would be learned by himself, and he could also become a part of the decisive battle between himself and Wu Ming.

She took a few steps back, leaving some distance, and said in a deep voice, "You can draw your sword." ”

So, Ye Gucheng drew his sword out of its sheath, and a sword slanted upward, slowly stabbing out towards the distant blue sky and white clouds.

Although the speed of this sword was slow, the sword momentum was extremely wide, vast as smoke and dust, and in an instant, all the sword light within a radius of several zhang was born.

Konoha was destroyed by Mori Han's sword qi, falling one by one, and in an instant, it was crushed by the sword light.

Zhao Qing could see that this was just a move, but it was full of might, not only offensive and defensive, but also stored strength in mid-air in advance, preparing for the next real sword.

Seeing that Hunting was happy, she did not retreat but advanced, and took the initiative to shake away the scattered sword light with her hand, and came to the position she had calculated, ready to take the next sword with maximum power.

I saw that Ye Gucheng's originally restrained edge suddenly burst out, and the whole person suddenly jumped in the air, and his breath became quiet and distant, as if a portal from outside the sky had opened between heaven and earth.

The moment the portal outside the sky opened and a gap was revealed, an ethereal sword light immediately emitted.

The sword qi is incomparable, from high to low, across several zhang away, there is a slash through the ups and downs of the world, feathered and immortal implication, like a fairy in the sky, landing in the world!

The white clouds in the sky were drifting, and there was a subtle sound of wind blowing.

The sun had also dimmed at this moment, and the sky seemed to be a little low.

Between heaven and earth, the only thing that hurt the Buddha was the sword in Ye Gucheng's hand, which emitted a brilliant light.

"Recruitment is a person, and a person is a recruitment. Start from outside the sky, the flying immortals hurt the enemy, and the people are one, not bad! Zhao Qing admired in his heart, stretched out his hand in the air, and suddenly pushed it.

The gray-white mist as fine as a silk mesh gushed out, enveloping the thousands of fierce sword qi in the net belt, facing Ye Gucheng's style of "outside the sky, flying immortals".

This Qi Refining and Condensing Sword Technique only lasted for a short period of time, and it didn't seem to have much speciality.

But the sword qi behind it was gathered together, but it made Ye Gucheng faintly give birth to the illusion that the space was trembling, which showed the high density of the sword qi within it.

In the next moment, the air violently shook and exploded, and countless tiny sword qi shot out in all directions.

The meadows of the abandoned garden, which were more than ten feet in circumference, seemed to have been plowed by someone, and the bushes were all lodging; The trunks of the two withered locust trees in the garden were full of sword marks, and the few leaves left instantly shook off and flew out.

Ye Gucheng's long sword reluctantly got out of his hand, and flew upwards diagonally dozens of zhang away, and the person also flew backwards, barely kicking on the ground seven or eight zhang away, almost falling down from his strength.

"Good swordsmanship!" He staggered to his feet, wiping the blood from the corners of his mouth, but a heartfelt smile appeared on his face, full of joy to see such a move.
