Chapter 22: Learning on the Road

It was late at night, Ning Que stepped out of the carriage, Lu Qingchen lifted the curtain on the carriage, looked at the back of the young man, listened to the faint sound of the side plug in the field at night, and showed a smile on his face.

Being a cultivator who has stepped into the realm of the Cave Xuan, even if they only have one foot across that high threshold, is enough for them to be greatly respected in any country and city, and they don't need to deal with ordinary people at all. Nian Shi needs more time to meditate and cultivate his thoughts, so Lu Qingchen's time can really be described as time like gold.

But he is still willing to spend a night or two or even more chatting with Ning Que and talking about things that seem trivial and meaningless, because he really likes Ning Que very much-he likes Ning Que very much-he likes the calm and self-improvement hidden under the gentle and immature appearance of the young man, as well as the heroic spirit that occasionally bursts out like the previous moment-heroic and magnificent, self-improvement and calmness are the most appreciated qualities of the Tang people, and the old man Lu Qingchen is a native of the Tang Dynasty.

Tonight, he told Ning Que that these were all the entrance courses of the south gate of Haotian Dao, although it was not a secret that could not be passed on, and according to the rules of the door, it was true that ordinary people could not know it, but he still said it only because he believed in one thing:

"I always felt that you would become a great practitioner in the future. ”

Knowing that Ning Lack of Qi was incomprehensible, it was impossible for him to practice, but the old man had no reason or reason, he just felt that this young man could embark on the path he was walking with great difficulty, and he hoped that this young man could go more steadily and further than him.

The old man looked at the back of the young man outside the window, and muttered to himself: "The night of old death is approaching, so I began to be reckless, blindly following my intuition, perhaps...... This is the inspiration that Haotian made to me. ”

......

......

Back to the humble camp, Sang Sang had already returned, Ning Que asked what the princess asked her to do, and unexpectedly got a vague answer with memory loss, he had long been accustomed to the laziness of his little maid in using his brain, and laughed and scolded a few words, drank a few cups, and the two of them washed and slept hastily.

On the second day, the convoy continued to march south towards the capital Chang'an, escorted by hundreds of cavalry, but the life of Ning Que's master and servant became no longer as boring as the previous days.

Before night, the old man Lu Qingchen would call Ning Que to get into his carriage to chat with him, and Her Royal Highness the princess often summoned Sang Sang to accompany him, but fortunately, Peng Guotao sent a guard to drive the simple carriage, otherwise Ning Que would really be forced to play a trick of unmanned driving.

During the chat, Ning Que learned more about cultivation, such as the various ways in which cultivators use their minds to control the vitality of heaven and earth, such as how cultivators can strengthen the connection between themselves and heaven and earth through certain special items, and how the swordsman uses his mind to compress the vitality into an invisible rope, and then bind the thin and sharp handleless flying sword.

There are no very strict standards for special items that enhance the connection between cultivators and heaven and earth, Haotian Dao mostly uses dust-whisking wooden swords, Buddhism mostly uses prayer beads and wooden fish, and the rune paper flying sword is a very common standard equipment, and it is relatively rare that some great cultivators will use strange things such as pen and ink staffs.

"Sealing the vitality of heaven and earth into the rune paper with mental power is the talisman master; sealing the vitality of heaven and earth in the formation is the formation master; condensing the vitality of heaven and earth in the sword is the sword master; directly mobilizing the vitality of heaven and earth with mental power is the master of the mind; and ......"

The old man Lu Qingchen held a cup of tea, leaned against the window and enjoyed it very much, and said slowly.

"Hey, hey, aren't you joking? What should you call if you seal the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi in the toilet and fight?

After chatting for a long time, the old and young naturally became acquainted, and Ning Que gradually showed his lazy and rude side, biting a brush dipped in ink, waving his right arm, expressing his strong doubts.

The old man put down the teacup, glared at the young man and reprimanded: "Convention, do you know what convention is? It has been called for tens of thousands of years, what is the problem? Customary is to be easy to remember, don't be sour!"

"Okay. Ning Que returned from a miserable defeat in the face of the thickness of time represented by tens of thousands of years, hanging his wrists in the shaking carriage and meditating, the tip of the thick black pen moving quickly on the snow-like rice paper, making notes.

"Regarding the means of fighting for cultivators, what the swordsman uses is called swordsmanship, and what the rune master uses is called talisman, of course, the one used by my kind of master is the method of reading, and the great cultivator who has entered the realm of knowing destiny is difficult to distinguish in this way, I have heard that some of the elders of the previous generation of teachers practiced divine arts, and it is unknown how it is. ”

"These names...... It's not atmospheric enough. The expression on Ning Que's face was a little stiff, he bit the tail of the brush shaft, looked at the old man and said vaguely: "I feel that it can be called a mage, and they all use spells." ”

The old man's white eyebrows were furrowed extremely tightly, and he looked at him sternly and said, "The question is, what is the meaning of the Fa?"

Ning Que was defeated again, spreading his hands to show his innocence.

"In addition to the above-mentioned types of cultivators, in fact, the most common cultivators in the world are martial artists, and their perception of the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi is not as good as that of the other sects, but they are also extremely strong in terms of combat power. When a warrior fights, he can spread the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi all over his body, just like putting on a layer of heavy armor from head to toe, and when he practices on weekdays, he will mobilize the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi to stimulate his skin and flesh, so as to hammer a body of steel and iron bones. ”

"The giant man with an earthy yellow sheen at the Beishan Road crossing is a warrior?"

"Yes, it's just that that person's realm is not too high. Like the four great generals of my Tang Empire, they are all the top martial artists in the world, even if the arrow cluster can pierce the armor on their bodies, it can't pierce the body protection vitality on their bodies, even if the arrow blade penetrates the body protection vitality, it may not be able to cause any damage to their iron-like bodies, in the face of such a strong person, even if your archery skills are good, it is useless. ”

Hearing these words, the word Xiahou naturally appeared in Ning Que's mind, and he lowered his head and calmly copied his notes, while his heart kept thinking about how to deal with such a strong person.

"Choose to close the distance and engage in hand-to-hand combat with these strong men, that is even more death, although your strength is good, but compared to them is like a vole and a lion, you can't shake them with all your strength, and they can break your neck with a slight snap of their fingers. ”

"If you attach vitality to an arrow...... How lethal is it to a martial artist?" Ning Que suddenly raised his head and asked seriously.

The old man pondered for a moment and then slowly shook his head: "Very few cultivators try to attach the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi to the arrow, because the arrow is different from the flying sword, in order to ensure the speed and quality, it must be very light, so it is easy to be disturbed by natural induction, and it is impossible to engrave the talisman on it, and the attached Yuan Qi dissipates too quickly...... Of course, if someone can solve the problem of dissipation, this feathered arrow is undoubtedly a terrible long-range attack. ”

Ning Que was thoughtful.
