027, the old account of the mountain master (above)

Ruoshan's plan is to let everyone practice the pioneering energy passed down from their ancestors, not only to teach the people of Lu Village, but also to the people of Huahai Village. There are more than 900 clansmen in the two villages, excluding the old and weak, women and children, among whom there are about 300 able-bodied men who can go out to fight in the mountains, and all of them have to practice. According to Wakayama's estimates, there are about 50 people who can train to become a mountain pioneer at the end.

Kaishan Jin is a set of secret exercises, and the pursuit is far beyond the strength of ordinary people. It also pays attention to meditation and practice, and the body and mind enter an experience similar to the initial realm, sensing the flow of qi and blood throughout the body, but more importantly, it is usually diligent and hard-working, exercising and boiling the muscles and bones in a very hard and focused state.

This is a kind of conscious active exercise, which is different from the passive consumption of physical strength in labor, and it is necessary to maintain a clear consciousness and carefully perceive the changes in the body during exercise, especially the new "emergent" strength. Not everyone can take this step, even if most people exercise for a lifetime, they may be stronger than ordinary people, but they can't practice the strength of the mountain.

If this kind of power is obtained, then there are even more profound exercises that guide the cultivator to operate this power and refine the body repeatedly, and master the power that can be operated and activated, so that it is difficult for others to believe that the power is actually emitted by flesh and blood, and when cultivated to the extreme, they can even attack the enemy externally. For example, if someone is standing against a wall, and the master punches the wall on the other side, the strength can penetrate the wall and hurt people.

This kind of kung fu is called Wuding Gong by the ancestors of Lu Village, and it is the highest state of mountain development.

In the eyes of a great master like Li Qingshui, the physical and mental state presented by Wu Ding Gong is similar to the consummation of the two realms and nine transformations, but it requires unremitting hard practice all year round, otherwise this kind of skill will be lost. Practicing the practice of opening the mountain is similar to the process of a monk entering the initial realm, but this is not the initial realm in the strict sense.

The path to heaven has eight layers, nine turns, and seventy-two steps, and the ultimate goal is to live forever. Regardless of whether the practitioner's goal is immortality or not, the physical and mental states of each realm exist, and people can verify it through cultivation. And cultivating the strength of the mountain seems to be arduous, it takes countless sweat and hard work, and it takes perseverance all year round, but in the eyes of Li Qingshui, it is a shortcut.

Most of those who can train to become a pioneer were originally unable to step into the initial realm. Maybe it's because diligence can make up for it, or maybe it's because the pursuit of this set of secrets is another goal, so in the long-term and focused hard practice, you can get an experience similar to the first realm, and even go on to obtain the cultivation equivalent to the second realm. But this kind of exercise is the limit of cultivating to the realm of martial arts, and it is impossible to break through it further.

Li Qingshui had long seen that cultivating the Enlightenment Spirit was a dead end that would always take a different path, and if people's purpose was to pursue a strong force, it would be okay to cultivate it. However, if you wear out too much when exercising your muscles and bones, or if you overuse your strength after training to open the mountain, which exceeds what your flesh and blood can bear, it will leave hidden dangers of internal injuries, and it is not only rare to live a long life but even a violent death.

Li Qingshui had pointed out these to Ruoshan and gave more intelligent guidance to the tribes in this area, so Lu Shan did not pass on this skill again. But today, because of the change in the situation, Ruoshan finally changed his decision, the survival of the clan is the top priority, and the hidden danger of the clan's cultivation of the mountain is the second problem.

Ruoshan explained in detail to Gu Xin the origin of the inheritance of the mountain opening and the characteristics of the exercises, and Gu Xin was surprised and delighted: "It turns out that the mountain master still has such a secret inheritance, so Fang Cai's plan can be realized...... There are hidden dangers in practicing the strength of the mountain, and we must make it clear to the clansmen that as long as we do not use that powerful force excessively, it will not cause irreparable internal injuries. ”

Ruoshan muttered: "After a long period of diligent cultivation, they have finally gained a strength far beyond ordinary people, who doesn't want to have the feeling of using it freely? ...... Tomorrow, we will gather all the middle-aged men in the clan and let them practice the introductory exercises of opening the mountain. ”

Granny Shui suddenly interjected: "Is it still only men who can practice? Is this the ancestral training, or is it your own meaning?"

Ruoshan smiled bitterly: "Since ancient times, the strength of the mountain has been passed on to men and not to women. The cultivation of this exercise is too hard, and after the strength is practiced, it is too strong, and it is indeed not suitable for women to practice. Not only is it difficult for women to practice Kaishan Jin, but it is also more harmful to the body, and the ancestors certainly did it for a reason. ”

Ruoshui sneered: "I still remember what you said back then-how can a woman cultivate the strength of opening the mountain? I'm afraid that after practicing to the extreme, she will become neither male nor female!"

Ruoshui's temper is very strong, she knows that there is an ancestral mountain opening energy in the Lu Dao clan, and she once wanted to study it, maybe she didn't really want to practice this secret method, she just wanted to refer to it. But when Ruoshan refused, she has been haunted by this matter, and she is still turning over old accounts to this day.

Gu Xin understood, it turned out that there was such a festival between the two, and hurriedly persuaded him: "Granny Shui, Lord Shan's words are very reasonable, I just heard about the secret method, and the strength of the mountain is indeed not suitable for women to practice, and Lord Shan also cared about you back then." Besides, not only you, but no one has taught it over the years, because there are great hidden dangers in this exercise. You are now a master of the Five Realms, so why bother with such a trivial matter back then?"

Ruoshui snorted and said, "I also know that it is not suitable for women to practice, I was just interested and wanted to study and study back then." After opening his mouth to ask for help, he realized that in the eyes of the Ruoshan patriarch, I was no different from the other women in the clan. ”

Ruoshan smiled bitterly and didn't know what to say, Gu Xin had to smile perfunctorily: "That's what you said! Granny Shui, how can you be an ordinary woman, but the most outstanding woman in this wilderness! Master Shan, do you say yes?"

Ruoshan nodded again and again, Ruoshui's face looked better again, and said to Gu Xin: "The mountain opening strength requires long-term diligent cultivation, and three hundred middle-aged men are also the most important laborers in the two clans of you and me, it is impossible to cultivate all the mountain opening strength without doing anything else, in this case, we can't bear it." ”

Organizing the clansmen to cultivate the Pioneer Strength on a large scale is considered by others to be a needless exertion of physical strength without work, and it is a great exertion, which will make the strongest adult man exhausted every day, and he needs far more food and nutrients than usual. On the one hand, all the strong labor has been freed from labor, and on the other hand, it has added more burden of support than usual, and it is impossible for Lu Village and Huahai Village to afford it, and Granny Shui's worries are very reasonable.

Ruoshan muttered: "In the past few years, the products of the two villages have been much richer than before, and we have a lot of reserves at present, which can barely be done in a short period of time. Three hundred people could not practice the mountain opening strength at the same time, so they were divided into three groups and practiced in turn, each group practiced the mountain opening energy for a month, and the other two groups stepped up hunting and farming. In fact, ordinary work is also a way to exercise qi, blood, muscles and bones, which can be interspersed with exercises. ”

Gu Xin added: "If within a year, those who still can't practice the opening strength, you don't have to practice anymore. In this year, the clansmen who have become the strength of the mountain are specially gathered and let the mountain master command them to drill the military formation. ”

Although Ruoshui and Ruoshan turned over old accounts today, they can still distinguish the serious things, and she also suggested: "While practicing the strength of opening the mountain, you can also drill the military formation by the way." Even if most of these 300 people can't train to open the mountain, they have also undergone military formation training, and they can also line up to fight in an emergency. During this time, I supervised the clansmen to build armor and equipment, and the refining of some artifacts is probably only done by me. ”

Ruoshan said: "I will do it with you, break through the four realms and release the ability to refine artifacts with mana, and now only you and I have such skills among the two clans." ”

Ruoshui glared at him and said, "How many years have it been, why hasn't your temper changed? Do you always think that you can do it alone! Not only do you have to lead the clansmen to cultivate the strength of the mountain, but also have to drill the military formation, and you have to keep an eye on the movements of Youyu Village and Ba Yuan, can you be busy, and you are not afraid of exhausting yourself to death? The matter of refining utensils, there is no need to discuss, I will be responsible for it alone!"

Gu Xin said on the side: "It's a pity that my cultivation is low, and I don't have the magical power of refining weapons. But ordinary utensils don't have to be worried about Granny Shui, I will supervise the people to build them with their hearts, and Granny Shui only needs to be responsible for the most important and critical steps. ”

Ruoshan and Ruoshui did have "things" back then, if it weren't for this, they would have become a couple. When Ruoshan was very young, he was interested in Ruoshui, but the old patriarch at that time did not agree to Ruoshan marrying Ruoshui.

The reason is not complicated, not only because the primitive clan at that time had begun to intermarry with foreign clans as much as possible, and the cases of intermarriage with the same clan and surname were becoming less and less; more importantly, the priest of the Qingshui clan had come to Lu Village to propose marriage, and he was optimistic about Ruoshui, and the old patriarch hoped that Ruoshui would marry into the Qingshui clan.

Ruoshan was angry, so he left the village to go to Ba Yuan, and before leaving, he claimed that he must make a name for himself and become the lord of a city in Ba Yuan, with the title of the clan. And Ruoshui's temperament is also strong, even if she doesn't agree to marry into the Qingshui clan, the old patriarch can't help it, and Ruoshui has broken through the three realms of cultivation at this time, no one can force her to do anything.

After another three years, Wakayama returned. He did not become the lord of a city in Ba Yuan, but only experienced wars and strife. Interestingly, Ruoshan has long known that Ruoshui will not marry the priest of the Qingshui clan, and the two of them are still a pair of course, which is why they came back so quickly. Then Ruoshan became the new patriarch of Lu Village, and decided his own affairs.

When Wakayama left the village, of course Wakasui looked forward to Wakayama's return, but after Wakayama returned, Wakasui ignored him again. It may be that he hated Ruoshan for leaving her alone and left like this, but he didn't kidnap her and elope with her! Ruoshan said a lot of words to please and coax, but Ruoshui made a request, wanting to practice the ancestral pioneering spirit of the clan.
