Chapter 1009: The First Life
Luoshui boxing has a very legendary origin. According to Luo Xu, in the Heavenly Demon Mountains, there is a river called "Luoshui".
In the fishing village by the Luoshui River, there is a story:
It is said that there was no river in that land. Until one night, when the stars of the heavenly dome shone brightly, a Ganges River fell from the sky and fell to the earth, thus becoming a river, which later became Luoshui.
When Luo Xu passed by Luoshui by boat, he saw the stars reflected in the water and realized the Luoshui boxing method.
Moreover, Luo Xu also told Zhang Ruochen that if he had the opportunity, he must go back to Tiandemonling once and go to Luoshui in person.
Luo Xu values Zhang Ruochen very much, thinking that his comprehension is very high, and he may not be able to comprehend some different things in Luoshui.
"That Luoshui must not be simple, it is very likely that it really fell from the sky. Zhang Ruochen said.
Luo Xu raised his head, looked up at the quiet and vast starry sky, showed a contemplative look, and said: "The universe is vast and endless, in addition to the Kunlun Realm, there must be other great realms that can be compared with the Kunlun Realm, or even more vast than the Kunlun Realm. Not necessarily, Luoshui is the Dao of a great creature in the universe. ”
Luo Xu stood up, an ethereal and dusty temperament emanated from his body, and said with a smile: "In the future, if I can achieve the position of the Great Sage, I will definitely go to the depths of the starry sky to take a look and find out if there is a margin in the universe." ”
Zhang Ruochen stared at Luo Xu and nodded secretly.
Just from his words and deeds, it can be seen that Luo Xu must be a broad-minded person. What he pursued was not at all the same as that of other monks.
Even Zhang Ruochen asked himself silently: "After seeking revenge from Chi Yao, where should I go?"
In the end, he was a little dazed, and his mind was blank.
In the next day and night, Luo Xu passed on all the thirty-six Luoshui boxing techniques to Zhang Ruochen, and also handed him a boxing book.
Zhang Ruochen had long known the true meaning of the Luoshui Fist Method, and his cultivation speed was naturally extremely fast, just this day, he had already learned it well.
Of course, it is impossible for Luo Xu to instruct him in the future, he can only practice on his own according to the boxing book.
On this day, the cyan wooden boat did not continue sailing, but docked.
Chu Siyuan took the lead in landing on the shore to explore the terrain, and at the same time, he used the eye of the sky to study it in depth, and he was extremely serious.
"This is it. ”
Chu Siyuan seemed to have made a certain decision, and said: "This is the intersection of the six spiritual veins, which is enough to support the consumption of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the Seven Lives and Seven Deaths. ”
Zhang Ruochen was a little puzzled and said, "Since it is the intersection of the six spiritual veins, why is the aura of heaven and earth not particularly strong, and besides, there are no major sects entrenched nearby." ”
Chu Siyuan stared at Zhang Ruochen lightly, tilted his chin, and said incomprehensibly: "Six spiritual veins flow in the depths of the earth, and that kind of depth cannot be observed by ordinary spiritual power demi-saints. Moreover, the aura of heaven and earth was concentrated in the ground, and it did not reach the ground at all. The old man used an earth-shattering method, which was enough to draw out the aura of heaven and earth. ”
Immediately, Chu Siyuan took out a brush, used a rather special ink, and drew a circle with a diameter of three zhang on the ground.
Immediately, he put away his brush and began to wait.
"It's over?"
Zhang Ruochen held his chin and stared at the fairly regular circle on the ground, always feeling that Chu Siyuan's earth-shattering methods were not very subtle and seemed too casual.
Chu Siyuan seemed to see what Zhang Ruochen was thinking, blew his beard, and said, "The road is simple." ”
Half an hour later, a white mist really rose in the circle.
That's not ...... Fog.
It's the aura of heaven and earth.
You must know that the aura of heaven and earth has always been colorless and formless, and only when the concentration reaches the point where it is about to liquefy, it will become a fog state.
Chu Siyuan placed "Seven Lives and Seven Deaths" in the center of the circle, and asked Zhang Ruochen and Shi Meiren to walk into the circle, taking the picture scroll as the boundary, and sitting opposite each other.
"The Seven Lives and Seven Deaths can only be opened once every seventy years, and you must cherish this opportunity once you fail...... There are no second chances. ”
Obviously, using the "Seven Lives and Seven Deaths" is quite a luxurious act, and Chu Siyuan is reluctant to use it on Shi Meiren and Zhang Ruochen for the second time.
Chu Siyuan warned again, saying: "In the picture scroll, there will be some unpredictable dangers, as a guide, you must always pay attention to this. Otherwise, you two will probably never wake up again. ”
Chu Siyuan glared at Zhang Ruochen, and then, sitting cross-legged on the outside of the circle, he pushed forward with both palms, and injected his spiritual power into the "Seven Lives and Seven Deaths".
"Wow-"
Zhang Ruochen and Shi Meiren's bodies each flew out of a soul shadow, condensed into two points of light, fell into the picture scroll, and disappeared.
The bodies of the two of them were still sitting in a circle, their eyes closed, as if they were petrified.
Luo Shuihan stared in the direction of the circle, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, and asked, "Zhang Ruochen and the Ling Palace Master have experienced the entanglement of the seventh generation in the picture scroll, and a lot of things will definitely happen and leave a lot of memories. Once you leave the scroll, will you lose the distinction between reality and illusion?"
Luo Xu said: "Zhang Ruochen and Ling Feiyu are not ordinary people, so there will be no such situation. For the two of them, this is an opportunity to temper their spiritual will, and once they successfully complete the seventh life, a great transformation will occur. The only thing to worry about is that. ”
"Which point?" Luo Shuihan asked.
Luo Xu smiled, shook his head slightly, and did not say anything.
Zhang Ruochen's eyes were dark, and when he opened his eyes again, he appeared in the middle of a busy street.
"Buy sugar gourds. ”
"Buy a knife, buy a peerless sword, as long as nine taels of silver. ”
......
Surrounded by people and bustling, it is a completely unfamiliar country.
"This is the illusory world in "Seven Lives and Seven Deaths"? There seems to be no difference between it and the real world. ”
Zhang Ruochen can feel that he still has flesh and blood, and has a very real sense of sight, hearing, smell, and touch.
"Shi Meiren must have been born in this world, right?"
Zhang Ruochen closed his eyes and quickly found the location of Shi Meiren.
This is a very strange feeling, even if she is far away, Zhang Ruochen can find her.
Zhang Ruochen did not immediately go to find Shi Meiren, but came to a tavern, ordered a table of good wine and food, and ate it without hurry.
Whether it was in the previous life or in this life, Zhang Ruochen spent most of his time on cultivation and rarely did some ordinary things.
Now, Zhang Ruochen is ready to do everything he has never done before, and experience the sophistication of human feelings, not only to comprehend the Dao of heaven and earth, but also to sharpen his mood and will.
At noon, the streets were filled with the sound of gongs and cheers.
It turned out that in the palace, there was good news that the queen gave birth to a little princess.
When the little princess was born, the sky above the palace was filled with purple gas, thunder and lightning shuttled, and everyone thought that the little princess was a god descending from the earth.
Only Zhang Ruochen knows that the little princess is actually Shi Meiren's first life.
Time flies like a white horse, and soon sixteen years have passed.
In the past 16 years, Zhang Ruochen has done a lot of things, he has worked as a coachman, a woodcutter, a fisherman, and a lot of ordinary things, completely treating himself as an ordinary person.
However, this kingdom is not so peaceful.
In this same year, the four neighboring kingdoms gathered armies and destroyed the prosperous country and, at the same time, captured the royal city.
Hundreds of thousands of enemy troops entered the palace, killed her father in front of the little princess, and insulted her mother.
Originally, the little princess, who lived a fine life and was loved by thousands of people, immediately fell into the dark abyss and lost everything.
It was also on this day that Zhang Ruochen entered the palace and took her away from hundreds of thousands of troops.
The little princess was obviously hit by a serious mental blow, her eyes were red and swollen from crying, and the whole person was in a sluggish state, like a puppet, following behind Zhang Ruochen.
A month later, her mental state recovered a little, and she took the initiative to find Zhang Ruochen and said, "Can I worship you as a teacher?"
A month ago, Zhang Ruochen showed his might in the palace, killing hundreds of thousands of troops in fear.
The little princess knew that Zhang Ruochen was a peerless powerhouse, and wanted to worship him as a teacher, gain as much power as him, and avenge her parents and the people of the whole country.
Zhang Ruochen stood on the edge of the undulating cliff with his hands behind his back, with a very elegant temperament, smiled, and said to himself: "Sure enough, the huge hatred of the destruction of the country and the death of the family can inspire the will in her heart." ”
The little princess didn't know the meaning of Zhang Ruochen's words, and immediately knelt on the ground, begging bitterly, hoping that Zhang Ruochen could take her as an apprentice and pass on her swordsmanship.
Zhang Ruochen didn't immediately agree, ready to continue to sharpen her, and said: "The enemy army that attacked the palace is hundreds of thousands. Go and kill one of them, and bring back his head, and I will take you as an apprentice. ”
"But, I ...... I didn't practice kendo, so I couldn't kill them at all. Moreover, I have never killed anyone......"
The little princess was very frightened and cowardly.
"You are so weak, why should I take you as an apprentice?"
Zhang Ruochen's eyes were very stern, and he glared at him, so frightened that the little princess shrank into a ball and trembled.
In the end, the little princess left alone and walked in the direction of the royal city.
Half a month later, she limped back with a bloody human head and handed it over to Zhang Ruochen.
Her face, which was originally overwhelming, had dozens of hideous scars, and her right leg was broken, like a beggar.
No one could recognize at all that she was once the most beautiful little princess in the kingdom.
For revenge, for the sake of apprenticeship, the little princess suffered a lot and made great efforts.
"How did you kill him?" asked Zhang Ruochen.
The little princess said in a hoarse voice: "As long as one person dares to fight hard, it is not difficult to kill another person. ”
Since she passed the test, Zhang Ruochen naturally accepted her as a disciple and taught her the way of the sword.
It took ten years for the little princess's swordsmanship to break into the four kingdoms alone, killing all the original enemies.
After revenge, when she went to look for Shizun again, she found that Shizun had disappeared without a trace as if he had evaporated from the world.
The little princess was in a very lost mood, feeling confused, without the guidance of her master, she didn't know what to pursue next?
In the end, she did not return to China, but chose to continue practicing kendo, and traveled the world, looking for traces of her master.
A hundred years later, the little princess eventually died of old age.
When she was dying, she still read the name of her master, and she was very unwilling.
A lifelong wish, just to see the master again.
The little princess didn't know that her master had always been by her side.
It wasn't until she died that Zhang Ruochen went to her grave and put on a stick of incense.
At this moment, Zhang Ruochen clearly felt that his mental power and mood had improved significantly, and he said to himself: "After seven lifetimes of life, my spiritual strength should be able to be improved to an extremely high level. I don't know if I can be sanctified by spiritual power?"
......
