Chapter 155: Inner Refining Soul Dongping City

After Su Hanshan knew the background of the world, he wanted to ask something about martial arts.

In this regard, however, Wang Xiangqian's description is even more vague.

Of course, people who are very interested in martial arts have heard of it, but how powerful is it? I don't know.

What are the miraculous skills in the world? I don't know. A famous contemporary odd man? I don't know.

Su Hanshan gave up those questions for the time being, and asked about other things.

"I see that you also have some skills, but with several children, rushing in the wilderness, there must be something unavoidable, I don't know if it's inconvenient to talk about it, maybe there is a place where I can help?"

After coming to this world, apart from telling him that he could stay in this world for half a year, the Tai Chi imprint did not have an obvious location guide as before.

So he planned to follow the locals around first to see if he could find any clues.

But when he asked about it, Wang Xiangqian sent the children to sleep first, and then whispered the truth.

Not long ago, Wangjia Village was ransacked by a group of bandits, scraping the ground everywhere they passed, leaving no grain behind, and killing many villagers.

Wang Xiangqian fled with these children at that time, hid, and survived in the mountains for a few days before he dared to come out quietly to visit.

The bandits are gone, there are no living people left in the village, there are charred wood, thatched ashes everywhere.

Wang Xiangqian rummaged through the corpses at that time and felt that there should still be some people in the village who were not dead, but they fled and did not know where they went.

After waiting for two days, she and her children couldn't wait, remembering that they had heard that Dongping City, more than 300 miles away, had a good reputation and seemed to be a place where they could find a job, so they were ready to rush there.

There are so many dangers in the wilderness, not to mention the beasts and snakes, and there are many dormant living corpses.

Without the protection of the whole village, Wang Xiangqian and these children would not be able to survive, so they had to find other densely populated places.

In the past 50 years, this has been a norm, Wang Xiangqian fled with his family when he was a child, and later settled in Wangjia Village, and also saw several groups of people who fled to settle in the village.

"In the past, when the old village chief was still there, Wangjia Village was actually quite stable, not to mention bandits, even if it was a rout of soldiers and horse bandits, they would be killed, everyone ploughed and farmed, no taxes were paid, and the harvest was quite good."

"It's a pity, many of the older generation who have the ability are sick and dead, and few of us young and middle-aged martial arts have learned particularly well, and after facing bandits and killing a few, we can only run away."

After the village was destroyed, Wang Xiangqian couldn't always tell his children about this kind of thing these days, so he could only hold back himself, and he started talking tonight, and before he knew it, he said a lot.

The more she spoke, the deeper her voice became, and her voice was a little choked.

"Otherwise, maybe Wangjia Village will become a town, and in the future, it will even become a city, and everyone can live in peace and stability."

There was silence in the broken temple, and when Su Hanshan heard the breathing of those children, there was a slight change.

But they still looked curled up, asleep.

Although Wang Xiangqian took good care of them, they themselves understood that at this age, they could no longer be completely regarded as children.

There are some things they can't do, but they can still do this kind of thing by collecting firewood to make a fire, or at least holding back and not crying, so as not to make my sister more annoying.

Su Hanshan sighed secretly in his heart, picked up a branch, and set off the fire.

"Sleep, there's no danger around here."

Su Hanshan's voice was gentle, and he said to Wang Xiangqian, "I will watch the fire here, and tomorrow morning, we will go on the road together." ”

When he spoke, he used a little spiritual secret sound, the moonlight bodhisattva mantra combined with the technique of seven rounds of Sanskrit sounds, and one of the best effects is to make people mentally stable, sleep deeply, and recuperate.

When Su Hanshan finished saying this, the children were in a daze, and their breathing had become steady and deep.

Wang Xiangqian, on the other hand, raised his hand and pressed his forehead, his brows furrowed, and his other hand instinctively clenched into a fist.

The light golden brilliance in Su Hanshan's eyes flashed, and he was a little surprised, so he didn't use any spiritual secret sound, and simply persuaded: "You can sleep too, sleep well, and you can hurry tomorrow." ”

"Thank you so much!"

Wang Xiangqian was a little embarrassed, he had just been rescued by others, and he asked others to help keep vigil.

But for some reason, she always felt that she couldn't let go of her vigilance, so she just leaned against the base of the wall and fell asleep.

Su Hanshan looked at the fire and thought about it.

The quality of his current skills is extraordinary, and when he used a wave of energy to help everyone up, he only made a brief contact, and he noticed that these people had no internal strength.

Wang Xiangqian's muscles and bones are very strong, and his qi and blood are smooth, but there is no trace of practicing internal strength, which is more like a natural divine power, and he has learned a little rough fists and feet.

But now, what Wang Xiangqian has shown is obviously a phenomenon of using his own ideas to resist the spiritual influence of others.

Regardless of whether Su Hanshan is malicious or benevolent, the method of Sanskrit sound is a direct interference with the spirit.

People who have cultivated more deeply in contemplation will instinctively reject such influences.

However, when the contemplation has been practiced to this extent, it is obvious that a certain amount of divine essence has been captured, and there is no internal force in the body yet, which is completely different from the contemplation of the Great Chu Dynasty.

I don't know if this is simply because Wang Xiangqian's exercises are special, or because of the cultivation path in this world, the overall style is very different.

Su Hanshan thought about it for a while, and thought that the latter was more likely.

After all, if the Tai Chi Imprint does not guide the location, it is likely that if you walk around this world, you will encounter something that can inspire him.

Of course, in addition to the cultivation path of this world, there is another one, which is also easy to see here, but it is not easy for Da Chu to meet.

Su Hanshan looked at the corpses of the living corpses in the forest.

Wang Xiangqian slept, he couldn't bear to disturb it now, but those living corpses had slept forever, so he might as well study them at night.

A few hours passed in a flash.

In the early morning, when Wang Xiangqian woke up, he saw Su Hanshan digging a pit in the forest to bury his body.

As soon as he stomped on his feet, golden light shone through the soil, turning the large patches of earth and stone on the sides of the footprints, forming deep pits.

After stomping a few more times, a few pits were dug, and the corpses of those living corpses were all swept into it by the wind, and then the soil was bulldozed and compacted with the force of the palm in the air.

Such a powerful martial art is actually used to bury living corpses...... But how come the shape of those living corpses doesn't seem to be the same as last night?

The king glanced forward, and a question flashed through his mind.

"Wake up!"

Su Hanshan walked over, shook his hands, and the movable gloves composed of Xuanbing armor pieces shattered from his hands.

He grabbed it with his right hand, and the moisture in the air was condensed into a water ball, and his left hand flicked at the tree next to him.

The trunk of the tree cracked open, and a wooden bulge outward, and when cut off, it happened to be a wooden bowl.

"Drink some water, and we'll be off in a minute."

Wang Xiangqian took the wooden bowl in a daze, and found that when he started it, the water in the bowl was still steaming.

Wait, although I heard that there are some people in this world who are very strong in martial arts, but they conjure water out of thin air, is this also martial arts?

Seeing that she didn't drink it, Su Hanshan thought that she had doubts about this kind of water, and said with a smile: "This water is very clean." ”

As he spoke, he pinched another ball of water, tilted his head directly and bit it, and swallowed it with a grunt.

Wang Xiangqian came back to his senses, took a sip, and found that the water was not only clean, but also vaguely sweet, and he had drunk it all before he knew it.

I don't know how much better it tasted than the river water she had traveled with and the grass juice she chewed later.

Su Hanshan made up a water balloon in her bowl again, and when it touched the bottom of the bowl, the water balloon spread out, the water rippled, and the heat hit her face.

Wang Xiangqian hurriedly went back and woke up a few children to drink water.

Because last night's research on those living corpses yielded nothing.

After setting out on the road, Su Hanshan carefully inquired about the method that Wang Xiangqian had learned.

Wang Xiangqian didn't have much to hide about this, and she originally learned it directly from the people in the village after she fled to the village.

Speaking of this thing, she used the words that the people in the village had taught everyone at the beginning.

Since ancient times, the way of martial arts is four words, "both internal and external"!

Internal power is the first, external power is supplemented, and the human body is outside, and the human soul is inside.

Therefore, the first step of martial arts, the so-called internal strength, is the method of refining the soul internally.

The ethereal soul is strong enough to be considered for interfering with the real thing.

What is the object that the soul power is most likely to interfere with?

Airflow, grass, paper, steel needles, magnetic shavings, mercury...... Neither!

The physical substance that the human soul is most likely to interfere with is, of course, his own body.

Even people who have never practiced contemplation can control their physical bodies and perform all kinds of movements.

And those who have practiced contemplation can also observe the limbs, internal organs, blood, sweat, heart and brain, and gastrointestinal meridians, and adjust them.

All harmful things in the daily diet can be dissolved and excreted, and things that ordinary people can't absorb, or even can't bite at all, can also become food for warriors.

According to Wang Xiangqian, in the past, there were many poisonous snakes in Wangjia Village, because the venom of some poisonous snakes could be drunk directly by the old people in the village.

With just a small cup, the effect is similar to that of an average person eating a whole basket of eggs.

In the step of refining the essence soul, after reaching a certain boundary, you can condense the martial will visible to the naked eye, and you can also use the martial will to transform the mortal cordyceps mustard into a spiritual object.

In the future, the higher realm will be related to spiritual objects, but Wang Xiangqian is not very clear.

After Su Hanshan listened, he roughly understood.

This world does not have the internal force of True Qi based on the art of breathing.

The body, vitality, and spirit, on the side of the Great Chu Dynasty, the most mainstream path is to start with the vitality, followed by the body, and then to the spirit.

And this world starts directly with the spirit, followed by the physical body, and as for the vitality, it seems that there are not many uses developed.

If you can learn the idea of this world, it can indeed directly help Su Hanshan reduce a layer of trouble.

In that case, he doesn't have to cut his own foundation every day after practicing contemplation.

"It sounds like your village used to be very interesting."

Su Hanshan said, "How about I use a martial art to exchange your inner refining soul method?" ”

Although Wang Xiangqian didn't expect him to make this request, he was already used to the strangeness of this benevolent duke.

"I'm afraid that what I dictated directly would not be complete."

Wang Xiangzai thought about it carefully and said, "When I enter the city, I will find a piece of cloth, draw it slowly, check it, and then give it to you." ”

Su Hanshan nodded and said: "It's okay, every martial art I have has a lot of content, if I want to teach you to remember, it will take at least five or six days, and I will talk about it when I enter the city." ”

Wang Xiangqian's thoughts are quite hot, and his memory should not be bad.

Many wild beasts are nocturnal and nocturnal, and when they are on the road during the day, it is also convenient to find some places with relatively bright and spacious terrain, which are not easy to be in distress.

But when they rushed to Dongping City, they actually encountered two more groups of living corpses.

There are four in one batch, and only two in the other, which is not many years, but the danger is comparable to that of ordinary wild wolves.

Su Hanshan didn't know how many people there were in the last years of the Wude Dynasty, but he had already realized that the most terrible obstacle to people's travel in this era was these living corpses.

Because it is said that these living corpses, even if they fall into dormancy when there are no living people around to hunt for food, they can not die for nearly ten years.

As long as a living person passes by in the past ten years, they will wake up, hunt and prolong their activity.

Judging by this ability, there may be a lot of living corpses left behind from fifty years ago in the wilderness of the world.

However, the closer you get to Dongping City, the more you can find that there are traces of felling of many trees in the shade around it, and there are burnt ashes in some caves.

Maybe it's Dongping City, where people will be sent to clean up those places where there may be living corpses hiding.

Wang Xiangqian also had such a speculation, and his tone was a little more relaxed: "A few years ago, when the old village chief was still there, he went to Dongping City, and when he came back, he praised that the lord of Gecheng is a good city lord with skills, and if Wangjia Village moves over, he can live well......

But everyone feels that living in Wangjia Village is already very good, and they are reluctant to plant the fields and houses that have been planted hard, and they don't want to go to unfamiliar places to take risks.

Therefore, Wang Xiangqian did not continue, but just looked in the direction of Dongping City and quickened his pace a little.

Su Hanshan also had a little expectation because of her words.

Who knows, just when Su Hanshan saw the outline of Dongping City from a distance, on the hillside two or three miles away, I saw a group of people coming up.

The men, all in rags, more than a hundred in all, were staggering forward.

In the ranks, more than two dozen horsemen, slowly riding their horses, escorted these people, and when they saw someone who was a little slower, or raised their eyes to the side, they immediately whipped them down.

The ranks were screaming and begging for mercy.

Just two miles is nothing to the cavalry.

When Su Hanshan saw them, those cavalrymen also saw Su Hanshan and the others.

Several of them were visibly excited, shouting in their mouths, and with a clamp on the horse's belly, the whip was whipped, and they rushed this way.

Su Hanshan was about to make a move, but when he saw those people rushing dozens of steps away, they all stopped urgently.

The king whispered to him, "They have seen your clothes. ”

Su Hanshan's robe is not bad, the edge of the dress is embroidered with many patterns, and the long black hair is tied in a bun and worn with a hosta.

When I looked at it from a distance, it was not very clear, but when I got closer, the cavalry immediately woke up.

This is not the heyday of the Wude Dynasty, any son and scholar, with two or three servants, dared to wander outside.

In this world now, it is definitely not easy to mess with people who can walk around in the wilderness and keep such neat clothes as good as new.

"Haha, this son, are you going to play in Dongping City?"

The cavalry leader, about forty years old, with a lean appearance and two black beards on his upper lip, arched his hand on horseback, and said with a dry smile, "Our city lord is the most hospitable, and the city has been very lively recently, so Gongzi will definitely be able to have a good time." ”

When he rushed over, of course, he didn't want to say a few stupid words of "I wish you a good time", but after rushing closer, he found that the opposite side seemed to be a hard bone, so he had to say a few words about the round field.

Su Hanshan glanced at him, looked into the distance, and asked, "Who is there over there?" ”

"It's just a bunch of fugitives."

The cavalry leader laughed and said, "The contemptible person has a heavy responsibility, so he will stay soon, and we will meet again in the city!" ”

He remained vigilant, and when he turned the horse's head, he kept turning his head to look in the direction of Su Hanshan.

However, just as his eyelids blinked, Su Hanshan suddenly appeared less than a foot behind him.

The leader of the cavalry was shocked, and just as he was about to speak, he saw Su Hanshan wave his right hand, and an ice-blue wind swept across the air.

Several nearby cavalrymen were knocked off their horses at the same time, and when they landed, they had been sealed by the Xuanyin power and could not move.

Su Hanshan's figure flickered several times, approaching the group of cavalry escorting everyone.

"Hundreds of people who drag the old and the young, wearing different styles of clothes, you call them ...... Runaway, slave? ”

The sound of this passage spread throughout the crowd, far and near.

Those people's eyesight was simply not enough to capture Su Hanshan's figure.

By the time he finished saying this, the twenty cavalrymen in different directions had all stiffened their limbs and fell off their horses.

In the eyes of the people who were escorted, it was as if these cavalrymen were falling off their horses at the same time.

After being stunned, the crowd erupted in surprise, and then they saw Su Hanshan standing on a horse.

The voice of surprise disappeared quickly, and when he saw Su Hanshan's people, a look of fear gradually appeared on his face, and he shrank back at a loss.

People looked at each other, and after a while, a man walked out two steps, hugged his fists and said, "Thank you, thank you for saving your life!" ”

When Su Hanshan heard the very familiar sentence, he could already see that the man was about to take the lead and kneel again, so he hurriedly changed the topic.

"Where are you all from, and why are you being escorted by these people?"

The man said, "We are the people of Dongping City, because, because...... I wanted to change places to live, but I was caught by these people. ”

There's a big city there, but you're going to take your family to live somewhere else?

Su Hanshan floated off his horse and said: "I heard that the Gecheng Lord of Dongping City has a good reputation, and he runs the entire city well, and he also makes the surrounding villagers have the intention of relocating to the past, could it be that the rumors are wrong?" ”

"Hero knows Lord Katsuragei?"

This man, who looked cowering, breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and sighed again, "Lord Katsura is very good, but he died several years ago. ”

"Later, I changed to a Wang City Lord, and then a Liu City Lord, and I can still live, but just a few months ago, Liu City Lord's entire family was hacked to death and hung up in the city gate building."

"Now this city lord really doesn't give us a way to live."
