The Battle of Interrogation Section 6, the Rotten Chess Player
Si Dao floated in the cold spring outer river, floating in the cold spring outer river that was 2,800 miles long.
The water of the Cold Spring Outer River originates from the Cold Spring Middle River. The water of the Hanquan Middle River flows from the mouth of the Kan hexagram to the Hanquan Outer River, and the river water diverges to the north and south, and finally flows to the "Li" hexagram in the east.
Si Dao starts from the "Gen" hexagram, goes in the direction of the "Kan" hexagram, goes up the southwest direction, and then continues to travel in a counterclockwise direction, along the river.
His speed is very slow, resisting the resistance of the current while resisting the cold of the river.
The direction in which the spiritual power advances is always the opposite of the flow of water. When he goes against the current, he surpasses the speed of the current, and when he goes downstream, he slows down the speed of his drift.
Every day, he slept only for one hour, and only went ashore to rest when he was sleeping. The rest of the time, he spent the rest of his time rafting on the outer river. His body is protected by a layer of spiritual power at all times. Although soaked in water for a long time, the body did not change in any way.
I don't know if it's because of the pressure, Si Dao seems to be a different person. He was a quiet man, and even more so now.
The coldness of the stream and the silence around it are like catalysts, allowing this "peace of mind" to reach a certain incredible height. On the first day of rafting in the stream, Si Dao entered a mysterious state.
He seems to have forgotten everything, as if he has lost his sense of self, as if he has lost the ability to perceive the outside world. He repeats the boring movements, but he doesn't seem to feel the boring at all, but enjoys it, as if he has encountered the most interesting thing in the world.
In this state, his perception has risen several notches. He understands the flow of spiritual power better than before, and adapts to the changes in spiritual power more than before. Then, he finally saw the cold air of the river outside the cold spring, and saw the spiritual power contained in the cold air.
He had already been completely accustomed to the subtle cold of the river outside the cold spring, and now it was even more so.
Si Dao did something that most people would never do.
He no longer deliberately resists the cold, but allows some of the cold to enter his body at will. He incorporated the cold qi into his body, and absorbed that cold qi in the way of absorbing the spiritual power of heaven and earth.
It's a crazy thing and an almost impossible thing to do. At least, on the first day of rafting, Si Dao really couldn't do it.
That cold air was in Si Dao's body, desperately rambling around, extremely dangerous. Si Dao didn't care, he didn't use his spiritual power to dissolve the cold qi, but quietly looked at the cold qi, and then kept touching it, constantly trying to absorb the wisp of cold qi.
Just on the second day of rafting, Si Dao decomposed the cold qi in his body and absorbed the spiritual power generated after the decomposition. Then, Si Dao unexpectedly discovered that it was much easier to obtain spiritual power from the cold than from heaven and earth. The speed of his cultivation instantly increased a lot.
Of course, the plundering of heaven and earth still exists. Si Dao obtains spiritual power through cold air and improves his cultivation. Some of this spiritual power disappeared out of thin air and was plundered by heaven and earth.
This plundering of heaven and earth is the rebellion of heaven and earth against those who cultivate immortals.
Si Dao was already accustomed to "heaven and earth plundering". But now, his perception of spiritual power has improved. So, he was once again uncomfortable with the loss of spiritual power in his body. He instinctively thought that if it weren't for this "Heaven and Earth Plunder", his cultivation speed would be more than doubled.
The plundering of heaven and earth did not bother Si Dao for long. He still remembers his mission. He needed to further perceive the spiritual power itself, not think about other useless things.
Under Si Dao's deconstruction, cold is no longer a deadly poison, but the best tonic. Si Dao began to reduce the spiritual power obtained from heaven and earth, and directly drew spiritual power from the cold air of the outer river.
At the beginning, he mainly relied on the spiritual power of heaven and earth to supplement his spiritual power. Gradually, the proportion of spiritual power supply provided by the cold qi became higher and higher. Eventually, Si Dao was fully accustomed to the cold.
For Si Dao, the cold of the outer river is no longer a threat. For Si Dao, the cold outside the river is like ordinary air, and there is no obstacle.
After fifteen days of training, Si Dao was able to float against the current for a long time with a slight swing. He began to understand the flow of spiritual power. He began to understand how to use power. He began to lose his fear of spiritual power. He began to know how to use spiritual powers.
Finally, he floated a satisfactory distance on the water.
He left the river outside the cold spring and stood on the flat ground. He's going to start the next training session.
He bent down, attached his spiritual power to his hand, touched the flow of water, and with a light lift, he pulled out a thin rope made of water. One end of the string is held in the hand of the priest, and the other end is connected to the outer river.
The priest turned his body slowly. As it swirled, the water rope lingered around the priest's body. In the beginning, the rope was just over one meter long. As the runner rotated, the rope grew longer and was pulled out of the water, as if there was such a long rope under the surface of the river.
Obviously, it was the first time he tried, and Si Dao had completely mastered this exercise, even better than Jiang Yichen said. The training that Jiang Yichen talked about needs to borrow real ropes. And now, Si Dao directly condensed the rope with water.
The difference between this is enormous.
From a mortal's point of view, what Si Dao is doing at the moment is a true supreme immortal technique.
Then, the runner stops spinning. He lowered one end of the water rope. The rope of water swirling in mid-air spread out. At the same time, the water rope did not stop spinning. The rope still rotates around the road, and the range of rotation is getting larger and longer. In an instant, the sky seemed to be covered by a film of water, reflecting a colorful landscape.
From beginning to end, the other end of the rope is connected to the surface of the river outside the cold spring.
"Is this immortal art?" Si Dao looked at the sky and said, "Do I finally understand immortal arts?"
When the words fell, the water rope turned into water droplets. Water droplets are scattered all over the sky. The spell didn't end there. Every drop of water condenses into ice, and the ice crystals grow and grow larger, blooming into beautiful ice lotus.
Countless ice lotus flowers slowly floated in the air. This scene is so magical and gorgeous, just like Jiang Yichen demonstrated half a month ago. However, this scene did not last long, because the spiritual power in Si Dao's body decreased rapidly.
In fact, the blooming of each Ice Lotus only occupied a small amount of Si Dao's spiritual power. If it had been before, Si Dao would not have been able to show such a gorgeous scene. Now, the reason why he can truly release the Ice Lotus Duel is completely dependent on the cold air of the outer river.
Si Dao pulls the cold air from the cold river to the water rope. The blooming of each ice lotus flower corresponds to a trace of cold spring and cold air. And what Si Dao did was just to use his own spiritual power to guide the spiritual power contained in the cold qi. Eventually, the cold qi worked on its own, and the Ice Lotus Duel was cast.
With a wave of his hand, countless ice lotuses shattered, turned into water droplets, and spread them on the ground.
Finally, in the second year after getting the "Ice Lotus Duel", Si Dao really performed the Ice Lotus Duel. With such talent, Si Dao can be said to be the first person in the history of Hehuan.
At the same time, Si Dao exhausted all the spiritual power in his body.
Floating in the cold spring outside the river for a long time, Si Dao didn't know where he was. The acacia is so large that it is the size of eight Zhejiang provinces. On weekdays, on the thousand paper cranes, the road is in the sky, and naturally does not feel that the road is far away.
Now that he's walking on the ground, it feels completely different.
Near the cold spring are all kinds of spiritual fields. Si Dao was not familiar with the layout of the Lingtian and could not judge his position through these.
He released a thousand paper cranes, ready to fly into the sky, observe carefully, and then return to the "Gen" hexagram. But subconsciously looking around, Si Dao saw a strange scene.
Those were two old men. They sat on a stone table as if they were playing chess.
The reason why Si Dao felt strange was because the Hehuan Sect was too big, and it was difficult to see people in other places unless it was on the Bagua Stone Island. As for seeing two idle people playing chess, it is even rarer.
Judging from the cultivation, those are two foundation building brothers. In the Hehuan Sect, appearance is not a way to judge cultivation and age. The fact that a person looks old only means that the person is close to his life and is about to die.
The senior brother who builds the foundation and cultivates generally has 300 longevity yuan. Therefore, the two old men in front of him should be above two hundred and fifty years old.
Si Dao's heart is guided by a special kind of guidance. Unconsciously, he walked over and walked towards the chess game of the two old men who built the foundation.
