Chapter Thirty-Seven: Realizing the old power of martial arts, and establishing a strong heart
"Finally got Tsukidan. Gu Feng let out a long sigh of relief, and then he had to find a quiet place to build the foundation.
"Now that Pinggu County has been made more lively by me, it seems that I can't stay here. I don't know where the second and third have gone. Gu Feng muttered to himself, and went out of the city again with his hat. He didn't dare to go in the direction of Huangtai City in the north, without the escort of his two younger brothers, who knows if those hateful robbers will rob him again, in order to buy Zhujidan, Gu Feng has already gone bankrupt, he originally wanted to calculate Su Su's sum of money, but stealing chickens and rice will not be lost.
Thinking along the way, Gu Feng finally found a secluded cave.
The cave is very hidden, and the walls of the mountain have obvious traces of wind and rain erosion.
There are a few skeletons outside the cave that are almost air-dried, it should be more than ten years ago or earlier, there was a tragic war in Dongtu, and the border of Wei must have been affected, so it became so miserable. The skeleton remains. It seems that there are no beasts in this area, Gu Feng thought silently, shook his head, and walked towards the overgrown hole.
This grotto is natural, about several zhang high, and the stone wall near the entrance of the cave is crawling with green vines and moss, no wonder it is not easy to find.
Building the foundation is the first major task of the path, which can be briefly divided into three steps, and condensing the mind is the first step, and it is also the premise of all things. To be precise, the divine thoughts of low-level monks cannot be regarded as divine thoughts, but should be said to be spiritual power, because cultivators have to control many magic weapons, their spiritual power is stronger than that of monks of the same level, and I am afraid that only Western magicians can compare to this aspect.
The second step is to choose the path. Everyone has their own Tao, or they all have their own understanding of the Tao, and the depth of your understanding also determines the depth of your foundation.
After the first two steps are completed, the last step is to introduce the aura of heaven and earth into the body, and purify one's body by washing the meridians and cutting the marrow.
After the preparation was completed, Gu Feng began to meditate on a stone, allowing the barely gathered Yuan Force to run non-stop in the meridians in his body. The process of today's battle kept flashing in his mind, and the movements of himself and Su Su slowly slowed down, reappearing in his heart. With less than a first-order strength to resist a fourth-order master like Su Su, Gu Feng's gains in martial arts can be imagined.
Yes, he was not in a hurry to build a foundation, but wanted to stabilize his martial arts realm. For a long time, Gu Feng's real tendency has always been to be a martial artist, and the reason why he cultivates is just to give some spiritual sustenance to the "poor and boring" person of the divine soul. But if you let the gods know, they will definitely vomit blood in anger.
Gu Feng closed his eyes and meditated, his body was filled with bursts of brilliance, and the halo like water waves continued to spread outward, and the entire cave was filled with a faint light.
Gu Feng felt that the meridians and acupoints in his whole body were extremely comfortable, and of course he would not let go of this opportunity to condense the mental method he had obtained in his dreams.
It was a long, long time before he opened his eyes, and the fatigue of the battle was gone. He just frantically urged the Yuan Force in his body to run, and at this moment, Gu Feng was refreshed, and his skills had improved a lot, but the repair of the meridians could not be done overnight.
He resisted the urge to look up to the sky and howl, ran out of the cave, and punched the ground.
"Boom!"
A small piece of forest shook with it, and the bamboo forest next to it swayed wildly, falling leaves on the ground, and with him as the center, huge cracks appeared in the ground.
Gu Feng's hands stimulated a series of brilliant sword qi, and the golden edge struck the ground into dust, and after a while, the cracks on the ground were submerged in the sand. Gu Feng was extremely excited, after today's battle of life and death, and Du Renshou's nudge on him, Gu Feng not only recovered his original cultivation, but also cultivated to a higher level, entering the ranks of third-order martial artists in one fell swoop. At this moment, his heart swelled with pride.
The Great Flood Wilderness Technique, how great the benefits are and how great the harm is, can be proved by the damage to the ancient wind meridians. At the same time, blessings and misfortunes depend on each other. It is unimaginable for a normal martial artist to jump from the first order to the third order.
However, he still had one important thing - it was already dark at this time, and there was not much time left for Gu Feng to build a foundation.
After Gu Feng calmed down, he immediately had the idea of swallowing the Zhuji Dan and building the foundation on the spot.
This idea was so strong that Gu Feng couldn't help but seriously consider the possibility of building a foundation in this cave for two days.
"Tsukidan can only be used once, it's useless to take more, it's better not to use it first, yes, the first step is to condense the divine sense, listen to the divine soul say that I have already passed this step, what I have to do is to choose the path, it seems to be the most important step. ”
There is a lot of greed in the earthly world, and the first thing to do when you first get a glimpse of the realm of cultivation is to cut off the glory, clear your body and calm your mind, and then condense your consciousness. Gu Feng remembered a time when he talked to himself.
"Do you see that the sky is clean?"
"The sky is cloudless, the sky is clear, and it is naturally clean. Gu Feng didn't know why he asked like this, so he opened his mouth to answer.
"Wrong, the dust is endless. Uncontrollably opening his palm, Gu Feng said: "Even in this palm, there is endless dust. ”
“...... What do you mean?" asked Gu Feng, puzzled.
Gu Feng was very indifferent, like an immortal outside the world, nothing could disturb him, and continued: "What do you think this endless dust is?"
"What can it be, it's naturally dust. ”
"It's dust, it's not dust. Gu Feng said calmly.
"I understand if it's dust, what is it if it's not dust?" asked Gu Feng, quite disdainful of his own "nonsense".
"It's the world, it's a vast world. "The ancient wind said lightly, and when he said this, he looked up at the sky at an angle of forty-five degrees.
"It's a vast world...... You're not joking, are you?" Gu Feng lowered his head again, and the smile on his face began to solidify.
"In the future, you will understand that this dust, grass, and wood are all one world. ”
"You...... Can you put it more bluntly, I feel like I'm listening to a book from heaven, although the literal meaning is easy to understand, but I don't understand what the deep meaning is at all. ”
Gu Feng smiled faintly and said, "I won't talk about these today, what I want to say is that there is endless dust between heaven and earth, and every grain of dust is a world. In the same way, our bodies are like this, we can't see anything, but they contain endless 'doors', isn't that what this is like in this huge sea of consciousness? 'Doors' are like so many spectacles of dust between heaven and earth, seemingly small bodies, but they contain countless 'doors', and constantly opening these doors to discover the 'true self' is the practice. ”
......
"Cultivation is a process of enlightenment, everything in the world has increased in years, some can exist in the world forever, immortal, and some are just dying in the morning and night, and even in an instant, a lifetime has passed in a hurry. ”
"Can you say something I understand. ”
"In short, the state of mind is very important when cultivating the Tao, and only pure and inaction can better understand the Dao. ”
"No, if you deliberately let your mood be flat, won't it deviate from morality?" Gu Feng raised his confusion.
"This ......" he was speechless, perhaps since then, he has always wanted Gu Feng to follow his cultivation.
......
"Those who are noble and thoughtless are vain, and their intentions are uncontrollable. The husband has no skills, so he thinks nothing is nothing. Therefore, the husband thinks that nothing is thoughtless, and his intention is not to forget the void, and it is controlled by the void. The void is said to have no control over its meaning. Today's system is false, and it is not false. The inaction of the void is also constant, and it is not permanent. If you don't think that nothing is constant, then you are empty, and you can be quiet and enlightened. Gu Feng muttered to himself, and then there was no movement, and in this way, time passed minute by minute, and in a blink of an eye, Gu Feng had been sitting quietly for a day and a night.
For a day and a night, Gu Feng fugue was too empty, he didn't deliberately let himself return to nothingness, he just acted recklessly, and sometimes woke up from the fugue, which was very bad for ordinary people to interrupt in this situation, but Gu Feng still ignored it. He didn't care about the success or failure of this cultivation, and without the slightest pressure, it was more in line with his "spontaneous" way.
When Gu Feng woke up for the last time and completed the last fugue, his whole temperament suddenly changed. Different from the third order some time ago, the ancient style now has an indifferent temperament, before entering a sharp blade, but now this sharp blade is hidden by a tranquil temperament.
"Not bad. Gu Feng pinched his fingers and said, "There is still one day left, and there is only one last step left." ”
So, Gu Feng, who had already made up his mind, first took the Tsukidan that he bought with all his savings, and then his luck began to dissolve the medicinal power!
The medicinal power of foundation building was very fast, and after just half an hour, Gu Feng felt that there was a fire burning more and more in the dantian, and other places such as limbs were extremely cold, forming a very distinct feeling of heat and cold!
But this feeling only lasted for a short while, and the fire in the dantian suddenly disappeared without a trace, and the limbs and other parts also returned to normal temperatures, which made Gu Feng a little stunned!
Gu Feng's puzzled look flashed, his face changed suddenly, and he pressed his hands on the dantian and refused to let go of half an inch.
Because here, there was a sudden sharp pain as if seven or eight sharp knives were stirring at the same time. This made the defenseless Gu Feng's face become extremely pale, and the beads of sweat the size of soybeans kept falling down his jaw. The whole body is completely bent into a bow!
Gu Feng curled up on the ground in pain, and kept scolding in his heart, how could no one ever mention it to him, taking Tsukidan was such a painful thing!
But before he finished scolding two sentences, the sharp pain in the dantian suddenly broke out.
This explosion turned into countless heat streams, which immediately spread throughout the body along the meridians, and even penetrated deep into the bone marrow. But then, the heat immediately turned into an unbearable itch, and it seemed that countless ants were crawling all over his body, making him want to hit his head against the stones, so that he could relieve the pain a little!
This kind of torture that almost drove Gu Feng crazy lasted for a meal before gradually subsided. At this time, Gu Feng was able to hold on to the corner of the wall and barely stand up! At this time, he was already sweating profusely, and his whole body was covered with an inexplicable gray substance, and it was sticky, exuding an indescribable strange smell.
But Gu Feng didn't care too much about all this! What he cared about was that he had advanced to the foundation building realm after cultivating for a while, and he was warm all over, and there was no discomfort in any place!
Obviously, the Tsukidan just now has improved the system and made him wash his marrow and change his muscles. As for this warmth on his body, it should be caused by the fact that Tsukidan's follow-up medicinal power was not exhausted, and it could be absorbed and used to increase his mana. This is also the reason why it is necessary to retreat for a period of time after taking Tsukidan, otherwise the power of these medicines will gradually fade over time.
Finally succeeded in building the foundation, and the ancient style of surprise immediately wanted to jump up to vent the excitement in his heart! But as soon as he stood up, his whole body was hot again, and the warmth just now turned into a raging fire, which made Gu Feng fall to the ground and scared himself!
It turned out that although he had succeeded in building the foundation, the residual medicinal properties of the Zhuji Dan on his body had not been alleviated, and they still filled his whole body. Coupled with the huge energy in his body before, Gu Feng is now in a very dangerous situation!
In the current situation, he had to immediately exercise his skills and absorb these medicinal powers immediately. Otherwise, there is a possibility of another outbreak at any time.
"That's right, luck, luck!" Gu Feng kept repeating this sentence, but he sadly found that he didn't seem to have any cultivation skills, originally he even let the spirit control the operation, he didn't even care, and now he couldn't remember it in a hurry.
Although Gu Feng figured out the reason for the crisis, the whole person still secretly complained bitterly and couldn't be happy.
After communicating with Du Renshou, Gu Feng learned that the world's exercises are divided into three categories: the Dharma Sutra, the Gong Jue, and the secret arts, and the Dharma Sutra is the cultivation of the mind, which is gradually practiced in accordance with the realm of the monk, as he knows the "Twenty-Eight Star Sutra" The two articles of practicing qi and building the foundation and the heart method obtained in the dream as a martial artist. And whenever the monk realm breaks through, it must be supplemented by the corresponding magic tricks to allow the excess true yuan in the body to be refined and absorbed.
"Dead ghost, dead ghost!" Gu Feng called out a thousand times, but the spirit never responded, when he entered his sea of divine consciousness, he saw the spirit on the isolated island meditating quietly, no matter how Gu Feng "disturbed", he just didn't wake up.
Just as Gu Feng was about to withdraw, he glanced back, and saw a few rows of small golden words flashing in front of the divine soul. Gu Feng, who was too anxious, didn't even notice it at first! This was left by the spirit a long time ago, and Gu Feng had always disdained it.
"Qing Yuan Jue. Gu Feng quickly glanced at it and said, "It seems to be the technique to deal with that woman that day, not bad." Huh, you have to be cautious after the third layer of cultivation? Why, uh, ah......"
Time can't wait for Gu Feng to think about why, now the residual medicinal power of Zhuji Dan in his body is running around, and he must quickly turn it into his own mana through exercises.
In today's situation, Gu Feng just doesn't want to cultivate this "Qingyuan Jue", so he can only bite the bullet.
In desperation, Gu Feng had no choice but to write it down, follow the instructions above, and then practice cross-legged according to the book.
There are a total of nine layers of this Qingyuan Technique, the first three layers of the Qi refining period cultivators can be cultivated, the previous ancient style cultivation is this wood attribute technique, the middle three layers and the last three layers, generally speaking, only the monks of the foundation building period and the Dan period can practice it. And every time you refine into three layers, you can use a magical power unique to this sword.
After the first three layers are practiced, you can use any magic weapons, and you can emit a long sword light with the palm of your hand, like the realm of the sword qi of an oriental martial artist, and the power is enough to compete with ordinary low-grade magic weapons!
After the middle three layers are cultivated, they can instantly release the body protection sword shield, named "Qingyuan Shield", although its defense power is similar to the general primary and middle-level defense spells, but this shield has a certain sword counterattack, and if you attack this shield at will, you will be attacked by the sword and shield automatically released.
As for the last three layers......
The supernatural power of the last three layers of sword tricks is a secret technique called "Sword Light Void Technique", and the premise of cultivation must be a magic weapon such as a flying sword, of course, if it is a flying knife.
After cultivation, this magical power can use the sword light of the flying sword to conjure up a sword shadow that is exactly the same as the flying sword, which can disorient the enemy's vision and attack the enemy with the main body. If the sword shadow is formed now, it will have one-third of the power of the body, and with the improvement of the level of the sword technique, its power can be increased, and it will have 100% power when it reaches the ninth layer.
Moreover, when the sword shadow is cultivated, there is not only one sword shadow that can be transformed, and from the beginning of the seventh layer, one more sword shadow can be refined for each layer of promotion. In this way, the Qingyuan Sword Technique has been refined to the ultimate ninth layer, and there can be three sword shadows with the same appearance and power as the flying sword at the same time.
From this point of view, the magic power of this "Sword Light Void Technique" seems to be not bad, and it can be repaired. Gu Feng comforted himself like this.
