Chapter 41: The Seven Forms of Impermanence
After breaking into the demon clan's land last time, Bai Lao gave Yan Zizhen a vacation for the first time, so that Yan Zizhen did not practice outside. Of course, cultivation is impossible to be less, but the way has changed. The original plan was for Yan Zizhen to fight with the beasts, so that he had a significant improvement in both physical experience and physical strength. But for the hidden dangers that might exist between the demon clan and the beast clan in the future, Bai Lao also had to change his cultivation plan.
Fortunately, the time and place are favorable, and there is a waterfall on the edge of the Fierce Fang Gang's station, and there are few traces left by the appearance of wild beasts around, so Bai Lao chose the location for the next training here. And the injuries on Yan Zizhen's body were also healed under the effect of those inaccessible medicines that he had made up.
In the days before Yan Zizhen concentrated on research, breakthroughs were also made. Under Yan Zizhen's incessant infusion of medicinal herbs and medicines, Yu Jinshan, who was originally blue and skinny, seemed to have been squeezed dry, but now it gradually became ruddy, and his physical condition also improved. Of course, Yan Zizhen can't have the ability to come back to life, although there is nothing wrong with the superficial situation of Yujin Mountain, but in Bai Lao's eyes, it means a bit of a return to the light. Of course, if it weren't for Yan Zi's real help, it might not be meaningful.
Yu Jinshan is very satisfied with such a change in himself, after all, he also sees a hope of living, his physical condition is improving, and this Yan Zizhen also has some ability! Fortunately, he didn't offend these people to death at the beginning, and the arrow that was shot at Yan Zizhen at the beginning was not aimed at the chest, otherwise, wouldn't he even have no hope of living now? Of course, he also knows that he is not good yet, but Yu Jinshan also knows that the treatment of the disease is also a step by step, not to mention his own situation that is not a disease?
Beneath the waterfall next to the Fangs' station.
I saw that the shirtless Yan Zizhen was wielding the impermanence sword specially carved by Bai Lao at the bottom of the waterfall at the moment, which can be regarded as making Yan Zizhen have a preparation to adapt in advance. Although Yan Zizhen has also experienced this state, it is far from enough, his experience is far from enough, as the so-called diligence can make up for clumsiness, since it is to be one step ahead of others in the future, so now is to work hard to step up practice.
Time is counting down little by little, and the demon clan and the beast clan are also beginning to be active, in order to be able to stand out in the next troubled times, Bai Lao can only help Yan Zizhen as much as possible. Although there were several impulses to let him change people to cultivate, but in the end, they all endured. Now Yan Zizhen can't help but fight him, so it seems to be a good choice to cultivate Yan Zizhen first, and then destroy him well!!
"Woooo
"Smack... Syllable... Smack..."
On the shore, Bai Lao leisurely leaned on a bamboo chair, which he also made in his spare time, in order to be more comfortable when he supervised Yan Zizhen. From time to time, he picked up the stone in his hand and threw it at Yan Zizhen, who was soaked in the water. It seems that the force of throwing it out is very casual, but in fact, one is more tricky than the other, and they are all thrown towards the place where Yan Zi is really critical.
Just look at the pit in the rock wall behind Yan Zizhen to know how powerful the stone thrown out is. Bai Lao, who was on the shore, kept throwing stones at Yan Zizhen, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, Yan Zizhen was holding the virtual sword of the wooden version of the impermanence sword carved out by Bai Lao to make a counterattack. But every time I carried it, it made Yan Zizhen very worried, if this was broken inexplicably, wouldn't it be me who was beaten? !
Just looking at the strength of this stone blow, if it weren't for the force of Bai Lao, Yan Zizhen would definitely not have come down and waited here stupidly to be beaten, if it weren't for his luck, the reaction would have been a little more timely, and he would have been beaten all over his body... I have to say that Bai Lao's move is also enough to lose, and it is more than using a beast! After all, if it is just a beast, Yan Zizhen is beginning to get used to their offensive methods, no matter how tricky he is, as long as Yan Zizhen puts a little effort into it, he can see one, two, three, out, but what about facing Bai Lao? Forget it, this is simply aimed at him Yan Zizhen! If it weren't for the fact that he didn't have the right to choose, the ghost would have to cultivate like this!
Yan Zizhen was soaked in the water, and the movements of the whole person were affected to a certain extent, and the consumption rate of physical strength was also huge. Of course, what Bai Lao wants is such an effect, which is much more effective than catching a few beasts to accompany Yan Zi to really play. After all, this beast may not be able to see Yan Zi's real weakness, where the dead ends are, and he can. Anyway, I've lived for thousands of years, and I haven't seen anything?
This time, Yan Zi's real breakthrough effect is much faster than before, thinking about it, it's time to teach him one or two moves, although there is no aura now, but the meridians through which several spiritual energy of Yan Zi's real physical strength mainly flows have already been opened, even if he doesn't use aura, it is much more ingenious than some existing sword moves in this world. Of course, if you wait for Yan Zi to be really strong to a certain extent, you don't need to care about things like this sword move, there are no tricks to win, and it is best to integrate everything and use it appropriately.
"Okay, Yan boy, come up. ”
Bai Lao threw the remaining stones in his hand to the side at random, and shouted at Yan Zizhen in the lake below the waterfall. At this time, Yan Zizhen should also be on the verge of exhaustion, and Bai Lao, who had already touched the limit of Yan Zizhen's physical strength, naturally knew this. Although with the progress of cultivation, Yan Zizhen's physical strength will continue to improve, but after all, there is still a degree, and it is impossible to improve too much at one time. After all, the current Yan Zizhen is not even a martial artist, where did he get so much physical strength? Even if he reaches the limit of ordinary people, it is just like this.
"Huh? Okay, I'll be right away!"
Yan Zizhen, who was still waiting for Bai Lao's next attack with a defensive posture, did not get the attack he imagined, but looked at Bai Lao and directly threw all the stones in his hand aside?! What does this mean? Could it be that his hard life is over? This old guy is finally tired of playing?! Suddenly, Yan Zizhen had an inexplicable sense of happiness in his heart... I don't know what moved me. When he heard Bai Lao beckoning him to come over, he hurriedly dragged his water-soaked clothes over, which was a bit weighty. But for Yan Zizhen now, it's just the same thing, and there is not much of a threat.
I was very happy in my heart, but the movements under this hand were a little slow, and I climbed to the shore with difficulty, and the water was dripping all over my body, but Yan Zizhen didn't care very much, and I thought it clearly when I first came, who is this Bai Lao? He is the Great Demon King!!Will he be so kind to let himself go? It doesn't exist! Maybe there is still some big move waiting to be released to himself!!
But what to say now, Yan Zizhen can't continue, he is about to get tired, it is estimated that this old man Bai also knows where his limit is, so he will let himself come over before he is tired, maybe he will let himself continue to practice later...
"How do you feel?"
Bai Lao said to Yan Zizhen, although it can be seen with the naked eye that Yan Zizhen's real change can be described as reborn, but this time is not the time to praise Yan Zizhen, although there has been a little progress, but it still does not meet the standard of a martial artist, and this is far from the standard in his heart!
"What else? I'm a little tired, but I feel that my strength has improved a lot, and now I'm sure I'll kill the seven men in black in one go!"
Yan Zizhen responded, holding the sword in his hand on the ground to let himself have a little support, and he could take a little rest, because he knew that there might be something waiting for him next.
Of course, Yan Zi really has a number in his heart for the improvement of his strength, he has become stronger now, very strong! He was unimaginable before! At least when facing the seven black-clothed people at the beginning, he would not even have the opportunity to let them enter the hall! In addition to the hatred that must be remembered in the heart, everything else in the past has passed, and what Yan Zizhen can do now is to protect the people he cares about in the future, so that such history will not be repeated!
"Is that all? If you consider it your life's goal to kill a few unscrupulous killers, I'll really think highly of you... This is just the beginning, no, you don't even count as a beginner now! You must know that when the Great Transformation of Heaven and Earth returns in a month, more people will die!"
Bai Lao looked at Yan Zizhen with some hatred and said, although he knew that incident had left an indelible hatred in Yan Zizhen's heart, but now Yan Zizhen, who was cultivating with a desire for revenge, always made Bai Lao a little worried, this thing should not go crazy in the end, right? So he is also preparing to enlighten Yan Zizhen, not only for Yan Zizhen, but also for his efforts during this period of time will not be in vain, after all, Yan Zizhen can come this far, and it is inseparable from his efforts!
"I understand all this, what am I going to do next for Bai Lao? It shouldn't be the time to start the meal yet, right?"
Yan Zizhen looked up at the sun, it was not yet above his head, was it a little too early to eat at this time? But it was not impossible, after all, eating was also a kind of rest. Thinking about it in my heart, my stomach, which I didn't feel anything, also began to get hungry.
"Eat, eat, you just want to eat!"
Bai Lao scolded directly when he heard Yan Zizhen's unproductive words!
"Bai Lao, this person is iron rice and steel, and he is hungry and panicked if he doesn't eat a meal. Besides... I've been soaking in the water and cultivating for most of the day, and it's normal to get hungry quickly, just like you, just leaning on the recliner and throwing stones..."
Yan Zizhen opened his mouth to complain, but his voice became smaller and smaller, and he looked very unconfident.
"What are you going to say? I'll give you a chance to reorganize your language!"
Listening to Yan Zizhen's words, Bai Lao naturally couldn't bear it, and glared at Yan Zizhen and said.
"Uh... It's because I'm too lazy, you're tired to come here to practice with me, and I'm still thinking about eating and drinking, I'm really damned! Don't worry, Bai Lao, I will definitely work hard in the direction of becoming a person like you!"
Yan Zizhen thought for a moment and responded.
"Well, that's not bad. Now that you have a little foundation, it's time to give you a martial art to cultivate. ”
Bai Lao felt a little strange when he heard Yan Zizhen's words, but it didn't seem to be a problem, so he didn't look into it further. directly stated his purpose, ready to teach Yan Zizhen martial arts!
"Martial arts?Bai Lao, haha, come on, I'm ready!!"
As soon as Yan Zizhen heard the word martial arts, his eyes instantly flashed like golden light, and his physical strength, which had already been depleted, suddenly became full, and Yan Zizhen, who was originally sick, instantly became vigorous, making people wonder, is Yan Zizhen really acting in front of him? This is too much contrast, right?!
"Aren't you quite vain? Just now, why are you like this now? Could it be that you are playing me?!"
Bai Lao was also taken aback by the huge contrast between Yan Zizhen and before and after, and his face was a little unbearable, and he said dissatisfiedly.
"How could it be, Bai Lao, I was too excited just now, I definitely didn't mean to lie to you!"
Yan Zizhen said very embarrassed, although I don't know if Bai Lao believes it or not, anyway, Yan Zizhen himself believes it, he was really false just now, but he has the power inexplicably, and he doesn't know what is going on. Could it be that he was stabbed by martial arts?
"Forget it, you kid doesn't have that guts. ”
Yan Zizhen has a few catties and a few taels, he is naturally very clear, but this question is also irrelevant, Bai Lao just skipped it directly.
"Back to the topic, the next martial art to teach you is called the Seven Styles of Impermanence, in fact, it is also a set of martial arts created by the previous Impermanence Sword Bearer, which is the most suitable for the Impermanence Sword, although there is no aura in the current world, but just by virtue of the first few moves in the Seven Styles of Impermanence, it is enough to make you unstoppable in this world. ”
At the beginning, it was natural to advocate a certain amount of martial arts that he was going to pass on to Yan Zizhen, although there were some exaggerated elements, but in fact it was not much worse, now let alone cultivating martial arts, just by virtue of Yan Zizhen himself, I am afraid that there are few people in the world who can beat him, of course, this is limited to the human race, and it is still in the northern part of the continent where these warriors have not been disturbed by the demon clan and the beast clan, after all, the warring places in those places on the front line are too variable, and heroes are born in troubled times, maybe there is something against the sky. However, Yan Zizhen can be regarded as a small master.
However, sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat, the current Yan Zizhen can't be complacent because of the current small achievements, everything hasn't started yet, it's too early to be satisfied.
One of the reasons why they chose the Seven Styles of Impermanence is that the Impermanence Sword is now in their hands, which is a very favorable condition, and it is natural to make full use of it, and another point is that the cultivation and use of the first three styles of the Seven Styles of Impermanence do not require the participation of aura! The main reliance is on the user's own strength, which is why Bai Lao has been working hard to temper Yan Zizhen. Naturally, the Seven Forms of Impermanence are more difficult to practice than the Seven Forms of Impermanence, not only by their own strength, but also by their comprehension of the Seven Forms of Impermanence.
Of course, this Impermanence Seven Styles is also a martial art that gave Yan Zizhen a test at the beginning, and Bai Lao naturally has other more advanced martial arts on hand, but the current conditions are not suitable and Yan Zizhen's strength is still far behind, so he can only save those for the future.
"The Seven Styles of Impermanence, does this martial art have seven moves?"
Yan Zizhen listened to Bai Lao's words and asked rhetorically.
"Nonsense, it's all called seven styles, how many tricks can there be? Just shut up and listen to me honestly!"
"Now, with your conditions, you can only cultivate the first three of the seven forms of impermanence, hitting wood, breaking stones, and cutting water. As for the next four forms, I will teach you when the conditions allow it in the future. Now let's start with the first of the seven forms of impermanence, striking the wood!"
After Bai Lao finished speaking, he didn't pay attention to Yan Zizhen's reaction, and directly bent down and picked up a longer branch at random, which was still very different from the wooden sword in Yan Zizhen's hand, but Bai Lao didn't care. Sometimes when you reach a certain level, it doesn't matter what you have in your hand, of course, that's just the general situation.
Anyway, it's just a general explanation now, and it doesn't matter how much Yan Zi can really understand, he just picked it up and stabbed it at a big tree with the thickness of a human waist not far away. There is no imaginary scene where the branch is broken or the tree is broken, but the branch in Bai Lao's hand passed directly through the tree, from one end to the other, and pulled out the branch in his hand, only to see that there was a thumb-thick hole left there to directly penetrate the tree, and some milky white juice began to seep out of the tree, as if it was bleeding from the injury!!
"That's the effect of hitting the wood, it doesn't make a big visual impact, but it's very penetrating. Concentrate the essence of your body on the sword in your hand, and attack the target, point-to-point explosion!"
After Bai Lao did this series of actions, he also explained to Yan Zizhen.
"It's... Bai Lao, can this essence still be used like this??Isn't it going to die if this is used up??"
Seeing Bai Lao's useful move, Yan Zizhen naturally wanted to learn it very much, but when he heard what Bai Lao said, he needed to use his essence? Isn't this the reason why Yu Jinshan is about to die? Why does Bai Lao also want to let himself follow in his footsteps? Probably not?
"Who told you that you would die if you ran out of this essence?!"
Bai Lao directly backhanded Yan Zizhen to the back of his head, where did this little brain think about it day by day?
"That Tulip Mountain is not just a matter of running out of energy, his body was also injured by that demon clansman. You live in this world where your essence is used and consumed all the time, and at the same time, it is constantly generating supplies. As long as you exercise moderation, there will generally be no problems. Some martial arts in this world are also cultivated by essence, although some of them are evil skills, but most of them are righteous paths, you can practice with confidence, will I still harm you?!"
Bai Lao said to Yan Zizhen with a strange face, how could he harm this kid. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't replace him in cultivating, he would have done it a long time ago! Although Yan Zi's progress was really fast, in his opinion, it was still a little worse, and there was still a lot of room for improvement. However, Bai Lao also knows that it is not a good thing to press Yan Zizhen too tightly now, although there may be a significant improvement in a short period of time, but it will also have a little impact on his foundation, and he may not be able to go so far in the future. Therefore, it is better to combine work and rest.
"Okay, it's just that, Bai Lao, how should this essence be mobilized?? I can't even sense it, so how can I concentrate on this sword??"
Yan Zizhen asked very confusedly, although he had a general understanding of this essence because of the relationship with Yu Jinshan before, he still hadn't reached the point where he was proficient in using it, so it was good to ask Bai Lao, the old driver, and save himself some more detours.
"Then you just have to try more, according to what I just did, try a few more times, maybe you can resonate with the essence in your body? ”
Bai Lao said casually, he is not a real person, and he doesn't know how the original owner of the Impermanence Sword drew out the essence in his body, so naturally there is no way to help Yan Zizhen in this regard, but if he does more of this action, maybe it will really be? Anyway, how does Bai Lao feel, after all, when he was a child, he felt that this action was used many times, many times, it is very likely that this is the reason, right?
"Ahh This... Bai Lao, can't you give a little help to you???"
Yan Zizhen is very confused, since this Bai Lao has given himself a direction, but you have to tell me how to go first? It's like being in a maze with thousands of passages, someone tells you that there is an exit near here and you will be able to get out, and then let you try it one by one? Isn't this playing tricks? ?
"I want to! If I have to be human first!"
Bai Lao rolled his eyes and said to Yan Zizhen, don't you have any eyesight? If you knew, how could you not tell you kid? This is not a good thing, old man, what kind of private work am I hiding? Besides, your whole person is mine, how can I have reservations? Your suspicious eyes are really a little hurtful!!
"Uh... Well, I'll try more..."
Yan Zi is really helpless, since Bai Lao has made such a response, he really doesn't know, otherwise he will tell himself directly, and he won't have to go through so much trouble...
directly picked up the wooden sword in his hand, ready to stab at the big tree that Bai Lao had attacked just now.
"Stop, you loser!!"
When Bai Lao saw Yan Zizhen's action, he immediately stopped Yan Zizhen as quickly as he could, and snatched the wooden sword from Yan Zizhen's hand.
"This wooden sword is also the old man's hard work, you actually don't care about it so much!"
Glaring at Yan Zizhen and shouting, Being able to withstand being smashed with a stone, this wooden sword naturally has a special place, but now Bai Lao has not planned to tell Yan Zizhen.
"Bai Lao... Isn't this just a wooden sword, it's a big deal if you get me another one, you look at this look and it's about to break..."
Yan Zizhen looked at the wooden sword in Bai Lao's hand with some disgust, what did it look like and still cherish it so much? This old man must have some conspiracy, right? Maybe it is! I wonder where he is digging a pit for himself!!
"Hehe, I don't care, if you want to practice, you can practice with a branch, you will have to use this wooden sword for a little more time in the future, and you can't let it break like this now!"
Bai Lao directly put away the wooden sword, which took a lot of effort and aura to toss, and carved a few formations on it, making it hard, and it also has the effect of gaining weight, until now Yan Zizhen probably hasn't realized that his strength is getting bigger and bigger with the increase in the weight of this wooden sword, but he thinks that he is too tired, maybe it is good to rest for a while.
This wooden sword Bai Lao can only make one at present, after all, the aura still has to be saved, during the time when the spiritual tide returns, the use of this wooden sword is a little more effective than the impermanence sword in Yan Zizhen's hand, after all, Yan Zizhen does not have the aura to urge the impermanence sword now, so that the impermanence sword shows its true style, and everything is still too shallow now.
Anyway, Yan Zi really practices movements, and whatever he practices is the same, it's a waste to hold things!!
"Hehe, that's stingy. ”
Yan Zizhen was also helpless, and then he also picked up a branch, and stabbed at the tree according to Bai Lao's previous strokes, at first he was still a little rusty and incoherent, but under Bai Lao's guidance, he became more and more presentable, but now he still didn't feel the existence of the essence, Yan Zizhen felt that he should ask someone for advice?
