Chapter 22: Suppressing Evil Spirits
"Ahh
After shattering Scarface's knee with a thud, Lin Xing's figure flew out as soon as he moved.
After going back in time this time, he didn't rush to the stone platform as he did in the past.
Instead, he bypassed the stone platform directly and ran towards the mountains and forests in the northeast.
Lin Xing wanted to see what was there, so that the mountain god and the chief didn't want him to go over.
The forest that has not been seen by people all year round seems dense and dark, but faintly Lin Xing can find that there is a path in it, which seems to be the path that the mountain god has pressed in and out all these years.
And the deeper he followed this path, the more Lin Xing could smell a pungent fishy smell, like the smell of countless corpses and feces mixed together, I don't know how long it had been placed.
He was wondering if this place would be the lair of the mountain god, when suddenly the woods behind him shook violently, and it turned out to be the mountain god chasing after him.
"I obviously didn't go to Shitai this time......"
Seeing the corrupt and foul-smelling monster chasing after him, a flash of realization flashed through Lin Xing's mind: "Are you stopping me from going deeper into here?" It seems that there is really some secret in this direction, and neither the mountain god nor the chief of the mountain wants people to know, and even the mountain god himself has been guarding the vicinity. ”
So in the next time rewind, Lin Xing continued to move forward with this direction as his goal.
He felt like he was parkour in the middle of a forest.
He had to constantly familiarize himself with the terrain, constantly adjust the distribution of physical strength, choose a faster route after dying again and again, and even began to use the terrain that was favorable to him to widen the distance between him and the mountain god, and tried again and again to insist on running a longer distance under the pursuit of the mountain god.
Finally, after hundreds of attempts, Lin Xing crossed a large number of white bones and animal corpses and saw a huge bluestone.
On the bluestone, it was as if someone had written a row of strange symbols in blood, and Lin Xing was slightly stunned.
The mountain god behind him looked at this scene, and seemed to have reached the limit of rage, prostrate on all fours, and tore at him like a wild beast.
Lin Xing seized the opportunity to go around the big bluestone and found that there were lines of small characters behind the stone.
"Baiyun Dao people, suppress evil here......"
Seeing this scene, Lin Xing's heart moved: "Suppressing evil here? Does it refer to the god of the mountain? Has he been suppressed? ”
He still wanted to look down, but he couldn't withstand the attack of the mountain god and was shot to death.
Next, Lin Xing broke through again and again, read the content on the bluestone again and again, and finally finished reading all the words.
According to the above description, this place was originally a place for the elderly to be discarded in Jiangjia Village.
Because of the continuous war and the requisition of grain, the food in the village is insufficient, and every year the elderly who are too old are abandoned here.
Elderly people who are unable to work, or who are seriously ill, are often starved to death when they stay here.
Over time, there were many more corpses here, and a lot of resentment was gathered.
And I don't know when a man-eating monster appeared here.
At first, it was only some villagers who came to see off the old man that they found that some of the old man's corpses had been eaten by some unknown animal.
But then the children in the village also began to disappear, and many villagers panicked.
At this moment, the Taoist priest who claimed to be from the Baiyun Dao passed by this place, suppressed the evil cult for them, and left this big stone and carved the evil charm on it to continue to suppress the place and prevent the birth of new evil spirits.
Looking at the story recorded on the stone, Lin Xing's face showed a thoughtful look.
And the last time he came to the bluestone, he stared closely at the evil charm in front of the bluestone, and carved the content on it into his mind.
……
Coming back from the dissipating pain again, Lin Xing's mind still kept recalling the appearance of the evil charm charm.
In fact, when he saw the evil charm on the bluestone, a new memory came back to his mind.
"The evil charm is specially used to suppress evil spirits, and it only works on evil spirits."
Lin Xing thought in his heart: "Since the Baiyun Dao people said that they have suppressed the evil spirit, how can this mountain god still be alive?" ”
What is the truth behind the matter, Lin Xing has not sorted it out for a while, but there is one thing he understands.
"Since the mountain god and the chief don't want me to go there so much, it means that the evil charm should be useful."
Thinking of this, Lin Xing gradually made a decision in his heart.
Directly using the big bluestone with the evil charm drawn on it, there might be some way to deal with the mountain god, but Lin Xing didn't plan to do that.
The plan that Lin Xing wanted to try first...... It is to practice the charm skills by yourself, and then draw the evil charm to suppress the mountain god.
As early as when he awakened the memory of the Dao Tong inheritance, Lin Xing knew how to practice the art of charms.
And at this moment, constantly recalling the memories of the spell in his mind, he felt that this plan was very feasible, and in the whole process, he could not only deal with the mountain god, but also take this opportunity to practice his skills and improve his strength.
"If you want to practice a mantra, you must first practice a level of meditation."
"Can't practice ...... here"
Lin Xing looked in the direction of the stone platform, he had to let himself die every time before the little girl was eaten by the mountain god, or both of them died at about the same time, in order to ensure that the next time rewind could go back to the time before the little girl was eaten.
And if he dies after the little girl has been dead for a while, it may happen after going back in time...... The situation that the girl has died.
This is obviously not in line with Lin Xing's purpose.
So, I saw Lin Xingyi break Scarface's knee with a wrench, and the whole person quickly came to the stone platform.
Then he sat directly in front of the stone platform, ignoring the surprised chief of the body, and meditated directly on the spot.
The chief looked at the man who rushed all the way to sit down, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "What are you doing?" ”
Not only him, Bai Yiyi was also full of doubts, and he couldn't understand why Lin Xing was still forcing Scarface to lead the way just now, and suddenly rushed all the way here to sit down and meditate.
Lin Xing didn't explain to them, but just tried to devote himself to the practice of meditation.
Exhale-inhale-
Lin Xing adjusted his body, restrained the distracting thoughts in his heart, and tried to focus on his own breathing, realizing the operation of his own body in his breathing, and pursuing an ethereal state.
But the voice of the chief kept coming, disturbing his mind all the time.
Next, the appearance of the mountain god seriously affected Lin Xing's concentration.
The movement of the huge body, the cries of the children on the stone platform, the fishy smell on the face, and the approaching death and severe pain...... Everything seemed to be hindering Lin Xing's meditation practice.
Lin Xing could only die again and again, and then continue to try.
This meditation between life and death could only make him feel irritability, nervousness, panic and other negative feelings at first.
But as the number of deaths continues to increase, maybe thousands? Maybe tens of thousands of times? Lin Xing doesn't remember anymore.
He only gradually began to feel numb to all this, and he found that he seemed to be able to finally ignore the external stimuli and devote himself to his body's breathing, and his mind seemed to gradually become ethereal.
With the fishy wind blowing in his face, Lin Xing suddenly opened his eyes, looking at the bloody mouth of the mountain god, he found that he could not have the slightest fear and panic in his heart.
At that time, the light flowed backwards, and his body reappeared intact, and there seemed to be no joy or happiness in his heart.
In this process from birth to death, and from death to life, Lin Xing's mind was always at peace, and he continued to maintain his state of meditation.
If Lin Xing only took the initiative to overcome death in the face of death in the past, at this moment he has gradually learned to adapt to death.
"Is this the settlement?"
At the same time, Lin Xing had a little more in his mind.
Since the first layer of the sickle knife technique and the second layer of the Taiqing Changquan technique, he finally mastered the third skill - the first level of meditation.
And with the completion of the first level of meditation, Lin Xing first felt that his heart and lung strength had received a strong blessing.
Not only that, but as he reached the first level of meditation, he gained deeper insight into himself, and found that the technical information that he could only vaguely feel in his mind had become clearer at this moment.
In his perception, the scythe knife technique, the Taiqing long fist, and the meditation were like three tiny rays of light surrounding his mind.
At this moment, he has mastered a layer of meditation, and he can even clearly perceive his progress in these three skills.
But this perception is still somewhat abstract, so Lin Xing tried to describe this abstract perception with numbers.
As he conceived this in mind, his insight into the body gradually translated into a numerical description according to his own understanding.
So after a while, the three numbers slowly appeared after the three skills.
Scythe Knife (2% of the first floor)
Taiqing Long Fist (2nd Floor: 0%)
Meditation (Level 1 0%)
