Chapter 5: The Strange Book Without Words, the Sword Without Appearance
In the library room, a book without any words and graphics is opened in the palm of the boy's hand, the paper of this book is quite old, the pages of the book are slightly yellow but not the slightest damage, the cover seems to be some kind of leather, but even the most experienced hunter can not tell which animal this leather with wonderful lines comes from, and then look at it in a trance, it will be seen as luxurious silk and ancient bark, and the mysterious vicissitudes of life revealed by this reveal seem to make people travel through time and space, in history.
This strange wordless book was not held by the boy in his hand, but naturally suspended, surrounded by the glimmer of stars in the night sky, this was undoubtedly a strange scene, but the book tube not far away seemed to be unseen.
The book manager couldn't see this book, Ling Qingyun was sure of this, not only him, but so far he hadn't found anyone other than him who could discover this book, even his father, who was a Tianxing powerhouse, couldn't do it, and the formation magic weapon with the effect of investigation couldn't do it either.
It's a secret that belongs to you and doesn't need to be hidden, and it suddenly appears when you come into contact with the first book, and no one can covet or seize it, and you can't share it with anyone.
The book is too mysterious to be perceived, weightless and disembodied, not so much suspended in the air as it appears only in its own mind, and can only be manipulated by its own mind, and it is usually hidden somewhere—perhaps like a legendary natal weapon, it melts into the body, and can be summoned by the mind when you need it.
But what is the use of this wordless book with no substance? Ling Qingyun was puzzled once, but he gradually discovered the mystery in countless explorations.
Without any movement, Ling Qingyun just stared intently at the blank pages of the wordless book, but in his heart he quickly recalled the method of operation of the wolf tooth recipe that he had written down before, something strange happened, the originally empty pages suddenly generated one after another, as if the water flow on the surface was flowing casually, intertwined and complex, but in the end, these many lines formed a pattern with practical significance, which seemed so familiar in Ling Qingyun's eyes—it was the true qi movement of the wolf's tooth formula.
Ling Qingyun never stopped, but silently recited on the other side of the book to outline a more complex exercise map, this picture has not become a fierce qi has come out first, but it is not the Ling family's ancestral Haoran Wind and Thunder Technique?
At this moment, a brand new exercise was born, the main body of which was the mighty power of the Haoran Wind and Thunder Jue, but it added the brazen blood courage of the middle-level exercise wolf tooth recipe that dared to sacrifice his life to fight, and the Jin Xing true qi that was long in attack added a point of sharpness, but the ferocity and disadvantages of the wolf tooth recipe itself were wiped out without a trace by the Haoran qi.
Feeling the ability of the new exercises, Ling Qingyun also bowed his head with satisfaction, although the essence from the wolf's tooth recipe increased the power of the exercise itself by less than one percent, but he couldn't bear it, he could continue to transform the exercises, and improve them infinitely!
This is the simple and shocking magic power of the wordless book, which can merge two completely different exercises with each other! Although the improvement of the main body of the exercises after the fusion is minimal, it means amazing creativity and infinite growth possibilities!
Of course, there are also people in this world who can fuse the two exercises and come out of the blue, and many of the exercises are also created by the strengths of hundreds of schools, but the terrible thing about the wordless book is that the speed of fusion exercises is too amazing, and at the same time, it will not change the foundation of the exercises themselves!
If the exercises are compared to drawings, then the results of cultivation -- that is, the way the energy of the human body operates -- are buildings, and the foundation of each exercise is different, which makes the foundations of all buildings different, and if the foundation is reconstructed after the exercises are fused, the cultivator will need to fundamentally change the operation of his own strength! In this way, if the foundation is shaken, the cultivation will be reduced at best, and the worst will be the madness, so unless the foundation is still shallow or the original exercises are too poor, or the two exercises are completely the same origin, they will not easily switch to the exercises.
However, the Wordless Book has been extremely subtle in integrating the essence of other exercises without moving the foundation, and only with seemingly insignificant modifications to the end of the exercises to make the exercises themselves more perfect, so that Ling Qingyun can change the operation of the power in his body again and again without moving the foundation, and transform himself again and again with almost no side effects, and continue to grow stronger!
Although this fusion of immovable foundation is limited every time, it is better for a long time, over the years, Ling Qingyun has integrated the advantages of countless exercises into the Haoran Wind and Thunder Technique, in addition to increasing the foundation, he also changed the attribute of the exercises from the thunder system to the golden line because of his own kendo pursuit, although he lost the thunder domineering, but in exchange for Jin Ge sharp, and when Ling Qingyun's father Ling Zhen explored the meridians, he found that Ling Qingyun's exercise operation was no different from the Haoran Wind and Thunder Technique, and it was only because of his physique that he cultivated the true qi of the Golden Circle- Even the Tianxing powerhouse did not notice the abnormality, which shows the wonder of the fusion of wordless books.
Ling Qingyun believed that as he collected more exercises, his own Haoran Wind and Thunder Technique would become stronger and stronger, and even grow to a height that was unparalleled in the world, and he was able to embark on a smooth road to becoming a peerless powerhouse!
Of course, the achievement of the strong is not only the convenience of the exercises, the wordless book only provides a shortcut, Ling Qingyun is clear about this, but since this peerless opportunity, he naturally needs to hold it tightly in his hand, and give full play to its effect, and the way of cultivation is a road to cross the challenge and grasp the opportunity.
In addition to the fusion exercises, the wordless book also has a function that can record all the knowledge and memories that Ling Qingyun has browsed and understood, so that Ling Qingyun has a treasure trove of knowledge invisibly, and he can call on forgotten knowledge at any time, and even re-comprehend the precious opportunity of the famous teacher's teaching and the strong duel, although it cannot directly improve his strength, it has infinite benefits.
"It's really a strange book!" Thinking of the infinite benefits that the wordless book brought to him, Ling Qingyun sighed slightly, but he couldn't help but have the doubts that had haunted him for nearly ten years: what is the origin of this strange book, and why did it appear on him?
Also puzzled him was the pitch-black scabbard that had always been behind his back.
"According to my father, this sword was given to me by a master when I was born. Ling Qingyun unsheathed the sword and held it in his hand, the extremely cold touch made his blood seem to freeze, and the young man's gaze was also solemn: "But my father can't tell what the master is dressed like, let alone the name, it seems that all the old impressions have been lost." Interfere with the mind of the Tianxing powerhouse to this point, even if the ethereal realm exists, it will not be able to do it, right?
Ling Qingyun was deeply puzzled, this sword was not an empty shell, the pitch-black scabbard was locked with a dark blue hilt that was slightly different from its color, but he couldn't pull it out no matter what, and others couldn't do it either, only that this scabbard was extremely strong, and no means were known to destroy it in the slightest, let alone get a glimpse of its true face.
Ling Qingyun had a faint feeling even though he was young, he was afraid that it was a great treasure, but no one coveted it, and his father was relieved to let him carry it, saying that this sword was destined for him, so he was not afraid of being forcibly taken away? Although Ling Qingyun was puzzled, he had no choice but to accept it, although the pitch-black scabbard was cold to him, there was a faint sense of intimacy connected to flesh and blood, teaching him to continue to understand, but it was as if he had embarked on an astonishing sword path.
With a slight sigh, Ling Qingyun put the scabbard behind his back again, but picked out a book of exercises from the bookshelf in front of him and continued to ponder.
"Tiezhou Gong" turned out to be a translation into the former Chaohe language, but this translation is not very smooth. Ling Qingyun shook his head as he read it, Nanming Academy has a lot of books, among which the top exercises and rare ancient books are all high-quality products, but the books with lower value are inevitably flawed, this middle-level exercise is just a big road that is not difficult to learn among the people, so even if there are flaws in it, it has not been modified.
For Nanming students, language is a compulsory course, because many powerful martial arts and techniques have been handed down since ancient times or from other continents, if you don't understand this kind of text, it will be difficult to comprehend and even your life will be in danger, and Ling Qingyun, who is good at reading, is much stronger than ordinary students in this regard, so he simply studied the untranslated original text, but he also watched it with relish.
Soon, the iron boat gong on the wordless book also blended with the Haoran wind and thunder technique, and the figure that symbolized the Haoran wind and thunder technique also added the hard meaning of steel, Ling Qingyun stopped for a while, and opened the next exercise, but it was contained in the bamboo slips, and the text was more obscure than the iron boat gong.
"It's a lot of work. Ling Qingyun laughed at himself, the reason why this is so is because he has read more than half of the middle-level exercises of the Golden Bank, the soft persimmons have already been pinched, and the remaining bones have to be gnawed, even if he can understand the ancient texts, but the actual comprehension speed is still much slower than reading today's words, but otherwise, he can only ponder the exercises of the lower level or other attributes, although the magic of the wordless book is enough to include how to exercise, but after all, it is still the best fusion of the exercises of the same Jinxing, and Ling Qingyun's own understanding is also more thorough.
"'White Tiger Cutting Mountain Technique'?Is there such a tone in a middle-level exercise?" Ling Qingyun looked at another exercise in a surprised tone, but saw that this exercise had no words at all, and it was composed of a total of twelve diagrams, including the picture of the hungry tiger pounceing on food, the diagram of martial artists practicing boxing, and the diagram of the earth splitting and landslide...... This figure seems simple, and it is more difficult to understand the essence of the exercises than ordinary exercises, but Ling Qingyun became interested, and carefully comprehended it with limited clues and even his own martial arts knowledge, but the scene of a white tiger running rampant in the wilderness gradually appeared in front of him, a white tiger! Defeat the lion, retreat the wolf pack, hunt the bull, fight the giant elephant, and the end is an incomparably martial and invincible beast king!
"It turned out to be an external exercise, it is difficult to cultivate, but the power is also outstanding in the same kind, and more importantly, this skill can nourish the liver and gallbladder and cultivate a fearless heart!" Ling Qingyun understood the reason, and a wave of joy surged in his heart, in fact, as an external skill, the fusion of the White Tiger Mountain Cutting Gong had very little effect, and it did not help his strength much, but this exercise was his favorite among all the exercises he had read recently, because the way preached by this method was masculine and majestic, and it was indomitable, and this was the heart of the strong that the martial artist believed in the most!
"This method can't help me break through, but it opens my eyes and strengthens my liver and gall, fast!" If it weren't for being in the library pavilion, Ling Qingyun would have screamed with joy, he had the extraordinary treasure of the wordless strange book, but he never understood that this was not the foundation of his own strength, the root of the strong lies in the will of the soul, and the useless cultivation of the White Tiger Gong read today made him see another strong man's majestic posture and be able to confirm his true heart, but this harvest is more precious than the fusion of a hundred exercises!
In the book, there is a golden house, there are Yan Ruyu, there are millions of armor soldiers, and there are endless treasures of the predecessors! Reading what the predecessors left behind, understanding the thoughts of the predecessors, it is like walking hand in hand with the predecessors, time and space are unstoppable, life and death are not hindered, what kind of creation and pride this is! Ling Qingyun realized that the reason for reading in the past ten years was fixed in the wordless book, but he really stepped into the path through this portal, and what he could gain in the endless sea of books was far more than the benefits of fusing the exercises.
The boy sighed silently, smiled, thought it was wonderful, raised his hand to take down the next book, and continued his journey.
