Chapter 312: Still Ahead
"Quack, quack, quack, quack......"
There is a poem that says that the fragrance of rice flowers says that the harvest year, listen to the sound of frogs, the sound of frogs is the characteristic of farmland, and the wonderful thing is that it also sounds in this deep mountain and old forest, bringing the traveler who steps into this place a sense of time and space change.
This is no ordinary woodland, called a swamp...... It seems to be an exaggeration that the dark brown woods are very humid, sometimes even condensed into white mist, which also makes everything in the woods wet, the rough trunks are damp and dark, the leaves are wrapped in water droplets and crystal clear, and there are dew drops on the flowers and plants, which makes this underlit forest like a hazy dream in a fairyland, which is really an impressive beauty.
But for the traveler who trekked here out of curiosity and other purposes, it was another level of impressing, not only in the forest, but also on the ground, there was a clear water less than an inch deep above the land, although it was not confused with the soil for some reason, there were fish and shrimp in the water, there were crabs, shells, loaches and other aquariums, insects and birds swooped into it from time to time to hunt, and it was not uncommon for wild animals to pass by.
There are frogs singing everywhere, the most common animals here are naturally frogs, there are petite frogs and tadpoles swimming in the water, there are frogs lying on the stones with big eyes staring at flying insects, suddenly stretching out their tongues and swallowing them, there are also tree frogs of the same color as trees lying on the trees, mimicking that they can't recognize it at all, and there are even more ......
"Poison dart frog ......" The young man glanced at the poisonous frog lying on the tree with a blue body, groaned, and stretched out his finger to gently touch its back.
"Quack!" the blue frog jumped away in fright, and the boy looked down at his finger: a jade-like finger with an extra black dot, and then vanished into a wisp of smoke.
"As a mortal beast, you can threaten me with just a drop of venom? You are worthy of being one of the poison kings!" The young man couldn't help but sigh, this black spot disappeared quickly on his fingers, and it seemed that there was no threat, in fact, it was not a problem to poison several adult males! And the poison of this blue frog can only be regarded as strong among poison dart frogs, it is said that there is a golden poison dart frog known as the king of frogs, which is enough to secrete venom to poison thousands of people without any demonic power, that is a creepy monster.
However, the poison of this arrow poison frog does not have the ability to corrode, so the poisoning of him is the result of deliberately opening a small wound, and now Ling Qingyun, who is cultivating the Ten Thousand Spirits Yuan Technique, does not need to scratch this kind of wound if he wants to, and his skin naturally opens when he moves, which is extremely convenient in all aspects.
"This kind of poison is almost invincible among mortal beasts, and the lion and tiger dare not provoke it, and once the cultivation is successful, even the beast king will be jealous!" Ling Qingyun continued to look in the forest, and it didn't take long to find a demon frog squatting on the black stone, the same color as the stone, trying to collect the poison, but half of his fingers were black for a while, and this poison was several times stronger than the previous blue frog.
"Although it is a demon frog, it is only a first-order demon beast, and the color is not bright, and the toxicity before becoming a demon beast should be worse than that of the previous blue frog. Ling Qingyun estimated that the poison of the legendary golden dart poison frog should be a hundred times stronger, and it was estimated that even if his golden body and jade body were contaminated, it would change the color of half of his arm, of course, all of this was on the basis of his refusal to take the antidote pill, not use true qi, and control blood detoxification, otherwise a few drops of venom would be found and discharged the moment they entered the body, and the performance could not be better than the blood and decay qi that the blood mice and the man in black kept attacking.
But this also shows the horror of the golden poison dart frog, as a mortal being, it can threaten Ling Qingyun, a young man who has cultivated a golden body and jade body, without defense, and in the ordinary golden body realm, it is really possible to be killed by this venom!
"All things are mutually reinforcing, each has its own strengths!" Ling Qingyun sighed, suddenly stretched out his hand to block the fleeting black shadow, but a wound was left in his palm, he cast a sharp gaze, the attacker, a tree frog with a triangular head, hurriedly burrowed into the tree hole, this tree is quite tall, and the bark of the tree is as indestructible as ugin poured.
"It's not poisonous? But the attack power is amazing. Ling Qingyun was a little surprised, dripping blood, but his palm healed quickly and was as smooth as jade, and in just an instant, he judged that the attacker was a second-order demon beast, but the attack power of that moment of surprise attack was stronger than the claw attack of an ordinary third-order demon beast, and it had a barb to expand the wound, and the speed was amazingly fast, which was a very insidious means.
He crossed the waterhole, saw tadpoles swimming, a small turtle bit the fish fry, suddenly the sand fluttered, and an insect shaped like an antlion came out from under the soil, but there was a blurred light and shadow passing by-Ling Qingyun saw clearly with the eyes of the golden body, this is a transparent body, only the size of a thumb, it jumped nearly ten zhang high to avoid the predators, and landed on a leaf without even a sound, which was eye-opening.
Further on, a giant frog the size of a calf snapped out its tongue and swallowed a passing monitor lizard.
"Interesting. Ling Qingyun smiled.
This is the rain frog forest, and it is also a well-known place in the southwest mountains, where the most frogs in the southwest mountains inhabit due to the special environment, there are water frogs, tree frogs, and even ground frogs that can make holes - Nuo, there is a brown hair and shiny mouse suddenly drilled out of the ground over there, and a ground frog full of thorns chased after it, in addition to poison dart frogs, giant frogs, thunder frogs with thunderous sounds, and water arrow frogs that are good at spraying water, Ling Qingyun observed and even tried to fight one by one, which can be described as an eye-opener.
This is a necessary step to cultivate the Ten Thousand Souls Yuan Technique, observe other living beings, understand their habits, imitate their characteristics, and perceive their purest life essence, there are not thousands of frogs in the rain frog forest, there are hundreds, from small as mosquitoes to as big as buffaloes, from harmless to bright and deadly, Ling Qingyun has observed the characteristics of various frogs very well, comparing the similarities and differences, which is extremely beneficial to comprehending the Ten Thousand Souls Yuan Technique.
"Although there is no 'use' for the time being, there has been great progress at the level of 'law'. After wandering in the rain frog forest for two days, Ling Qingyun finally ploughed open, with regrets and more satisfaction.
Frogs have many specialties, such as extraordinary eyesight, amazing bounce, quick tongue sticking out, and the ability of poison dart frogs to secrete poison...... However, these are not what Ling Qingyun needs at the moment, the bounce power is not bad, but it is quite incompatible with Long You's body method, and after some thought, he gave up the plan to use it for himself.
The so-called "use" and "law" can be compared to external and internal strength, martial arts and exercises, "use" is the move, all kinds of creatures are talented, such as the eagle's sharp eyes, the dog's sense of smell, the turtle's hard shell, the poisonous snake's poison, the electric eel's discharge, etc., people will imitate it to learn to improve their eyesight, the body is highly poisonous, invulnerable...... But all of this is still based on the foundation of vitality, just like no matter how strong the Thousand Forging Realm refining body is, even if you cultivate the strongest defense method, it can't compare to the invulnerability of the ordinary Golden Body Realm, this is the importance of the "Fa".
For ordinary exercises, the foundation is the strength of the body and true qi, at most plus a spiritual power, but for the Ten Thousand Souls Yuan Technique, the foundation is the vitality and life perception, the former includes the foundation of ordinary exercises, and patience can be tempered, but the latter needs to go into nature and carefully understand in all living beings and all souls.
There are birds, beasts, insects and fish in the world, everything is different, every creature and even every individual has differences, they are all different, but they are all life, have a common essence, the essence is the core, such as the solid body is the foundation of everything, the difference is the phenomenon, all people are nothing more than is, only the essence has no phenomenon, then there is no character, there is no difference from all living beings, only the phenomenon has no essence, it is like a dream empty flower, gorgeous and fragile.
It is very important to distinguish the essential differences, the former is the core of life exploration, only a better understanding of the essence of life can make one's vitality continue to improve, transform and sublimate, and achieve a leap in the level of life like normal cultivation, the latter is the multitude of living beings, colorful presentation, do not understand the difference is like a martial nerd who has a strong body but does not know the slightest move, only understands the most basic punches and kicks, and cannot display the body method and martial arts, let alone imitate other living beings, transform their vitality and learn their natural ability.
Ling Qingyun's trip to the Rain Frog Forest is Ling Qingyun's understanding of this, he constantly compares different species and different individuals of frogs, feels the unique way of survival of each life, and explores their common great maintenance, the profound and mysterious nature of life, and he also observes other creatures, flying insects caught in frog tongues, birds that prey on frogs, fish fry that feed in the same pool as tadpoles, parasites that burrow into the body of tree frogs, or elk that are trampled by a tree frog but don't know it...... They are predators, predators, competitors, parasites, and water encounters...... There are too many differences between each other, but they seem to be connected by invisible silk threads, everything is nothing more than that, connected to each other in the net, maybe this is the net?
In the sky net, the vivid creatures are unique, and they can be peeled off, and they are becoming more and more similar, with only a little light cluster that shines brightly.
"Vitality ......" Ling Qingyun held his palm empty, feeling that he had mastered a point in the underworld, and the level of the whole person was sublimated - he easily found that this was just an illusion, his perception was only a little improved, and there was still a long way to go!
Walking out of the rain frog forest, he suddenly sighed again.
"The essence of life seems so simple, but this colorful life activity is so complex. Looking at the birds in the air, the apes in the trees, the hares in the bushes, and the ants on the ground, he muttered: "But this so-called complexity is very simple compared to the intrigue between humans." ”
"I understand why there are so many idle clouds and wild cranes, and it is indeed a pleasure to pursue the natural road and stay away from the hustle and bustle of the world. Bathed in the mountain breeze, Ling Qingyun climbed another mountain, flowing with the glow of the morning sun.
It has been half a month since the ruins of Kaihanlong, perhaps because the concealment skills of the Wanling Yuanshu are clever enough, he finally got rid of the shadow of the mysterious organization, and continued to practice in the southwest mountains.
Now, he has such emotions when he feels it, like a great enlightenment, and he will stay away from the red dust.
"Forget it. Facing the mountain wind and the light of the sun, the young man smiled and walked to the next mountain: "The way of cultivation, the way of man, when fighting with the sky, fighting with others, self-denial against the sky, chasing glory, my way is like this, this is my difference, my life!"
Vicissitudes of life, sighs, a smile, Lingyun's ambition does not change, and the young man is still moving forward!
