Tonight's curfew, the sky has just darkened, and there is no one else on Chang'an Street except for the city guards patrolling. Without the joy of the New Year's Festival, the night is too short, and only the bleak and cold of the winter night remains.

After the rebellion of the Suzaku Gate was settled, Li Xuan followed the emperor into the palace, and Li Bing and his party went home separately.

The whole of Xiangwang's mansion was guarding the mansion, and his own soldiers guarded the big and small doorways, beware of the counterattack of those thieves who were not caught.

After waiting for a long time to see King Xiang come back, when he arrived, a team of forbidden troops came to report that His Royal Highness King Xiang was resting in the palace today.

At such a sensitive moment, people don't come back, only a message, Li Bing is somewhat suspicious, but Mi Xin still recognizes the person who came, and he was once the old department of King Xiang, so he was a little relieved.

After knocking on the fourth watch, the candles in the room were blown out, and the palace was quiet.

Li Bing and Anzi lived in two rooms, the bed was back to back, only separated by a wall, but both of them tossed and turned, and it was difficult to sleep.

Constantly recalling the bits and pieces of the past few days in his mind, Anzi lay on the pillow, stupid, but his smile was fleeting, but he looked sad.

Li Bing has been busy in the past two days, but Anzi has been following Song Rourou all the time. This royal infighting is a big deal for others, but it is just a big excitement for him, and he has not thought about it after that.

But I followed Song Rourou's side every day, and every time I got along, the more I felt that I was different from her identity and family, and I had a lot of thoughts for a while.

"On talking, speaking softly, just like Brother Bing'er, inadvertently, poetry idioms, just open your mouth. I often couldn't even understand what she said, so I could only smirk, and even if I was cautious in front of her, I still saw through this little literacy.

In terms of vision, I don't know anything about family etiquette, spice tea tasting, business and trade, and the world of the family and country. Every time she talked to someone about it, I could only stay on the side like a log, unable to interject at all, just hating that I didn't get into the hole. ”

As soon as Anzi remembered the embarrassing experiences of the past few days, he shook his head again and again, wanting to force himself to forget.

"In terms of martial arts, I'm not tall, my muscles and bones are not good, I have no power to restrain the chicken, and I don't know anything except a little light skill. When encountering things, it is still difficult to protect yourself, so how can you protect Rourou for a lifetime?"

The more Anzi thought about it, the more sad his face became, and a huge pressure made him feel frizzy.

"The first three points are actually not the most important. At the moment, I can't even give her a basic guarantee, and that's the hardest thing to do:

Rourou is a lady, even if she is no longer obsessed with jewelry, clothes, rouge and gouache, she has to buy some, as well as all kinds of fun new gadgets, gourmet pastries, bit by bit, it is really a big expense. Not to mention anything else, just looking at the gifts she brought to her relatives and friends when she went out this time, it is not something that my financial resources can afford.

This is just a daily expense, if I can really ask a matchmaker to go to the Song family one day to say goodbye, where will this dowry and the sky-high money of the house come from? Do you want to keep reaching out to Brother Bing'er? Or do you have to rely on me to steal it all the time?"

Anzi looked at the gauze tent above her head and sighed.

"Every time I want to be good to her, I always feel that I can't use my strength, if it weren't for Brother Bing'er who gave a lot of silver before, I'm afraid that the original form will be revealed in the past two days. ”

Suddenly, a strong frustration and uneasiness came to his heart, he thought about the soft and soft things, and somehow, he suddenly had endless envy for Li Bing.

"Brother Bing'er naturally has nothing to say to me. But if you think about it, the gap between us is probably bigger than the gap between me and Rourou. Even if Brother Bing'er ignores these things now and relies on righteousness to turn them in, what if one day, our relationship is not good?

The more Anzi thought about it, the more scared he became, he just had a home, and the more he cherished the moment, the more he panicked.

"Where is my way out? I really want to live like Brother Bing'er, live up to the sky, and be proud. But it seems to ...... There is no way to do it. ”

Suddenly, he said to Li Bing before that he would find him a teacher after the year, and he had infinite expectations, as if he saw a new beginning in life.

Anyway, I can't sleep, so it's better to lift the quilt and get up, sit at the table, and take out the "Meridian Sect Forging Strategy" that he wrote to him from the Meridian Sect before leaving, and look at it carefully.

He doesn't know much and can only read a rough idea, but even so, he has something to do, and his heart is more steady.

On the other side of the wall, Li Bing couldn't sleep, it had been more than half a month, and he didn't feel so energetic, his hands and feet were warm, and he didn't feel tired at all.

Although I am very comfortable now, I also feel a strong sense of uneasiness in my heart when I look at my clean and white wrists.

"The Ram Sword Master originally said that if I don't use my internal strength indiscriminately, the 'two rings' in my hand can protect me for at least a few months. Ay...... But after two consecutive fights, it was only twenty days, and the two rings on his hands were all gone. Tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, and after fifteen days, it will be a full moon night, what can I do?"

He found out the key to the spell of the "Three Golden Lock Veins" given by the Ram Sword Master, read it over and over again, and couldn't figure it out, hesitated for a long time, but got up and went to find Mi Xin - this is what he knows now, the only magic master around him.

In front of the table where the two were seated, Li Bing told his own affairs, including Rongjiao, Black Scripture, Yangyue Sword Technique, and so on.

Mi Xin was taken aback by this, shivered, goosebumps rose all over his body, and hurriedly gave him a pulse: "It's really full, it's definitely not the cultivation that you should have if you only practice kung fu in a few months." He complained slightly: "How can you say such an important thing." ”

"The three-ring lock vein is still there, and I think how can I have a few months, and I don't have much to worry about. There are a lot of things going on these days, thinking that I can have a good New Year, and then I will find a way after the New Year. But I didn't expect that the technique of these three golden veins was too unbearable to toss. I only used one trick, and the last copper ring was also broken. ”

Seeing that Li Bing was upset, Mi Xin couldn't bear to blame, and while looking at the manuscript of "Three Golden Lock Veins", he said: "As you said, this spell should be 'Guigu One Vein'." It seems that it should be the 'Imperial Realm', and it can be displayed with the internal strength of the Guigu lineage. ”

"Imperial Realm?"

Mi Xin looked at him puzzled, and said: "The martial arts in the world are divided into two categories: 'internal and external martial arts' and 'magic'.

Inner Kung Fu and Outer Kung Fu both belong to the discipline of martial arts, because of the restraint relationship between the genres, as well as the influence of light skills, body methods, etc., it is difficult to give a measure of strength, and it can only be roughly divided into 'Nine Realms of True Martial Arts' according to the strength of the refining body.

The corresponding spell is much purer, and according to the size of the ability, it is also divided into nine realms, called 'crossing the nine realms'. Different from martial arts, the difference between the realms of this technique can be described as distinct.

There is a huge gap between the two 'Nine Realms' and 'Five Realms of Earth' and 'Four Realms of Heaven'...... I. ”

Mi Xin had already reached the fifth realm at the age of thirty, but after many years, he had not grown in the slightest, he smiled awkwardly, and said:

"The five realms of the earth are divided into: opening the body, repairing the sea, dipping clothes, keeping things, and crossing the spirit;

The four realms of heaven are: knotting, becoming a baby, dividing the soul, and turning into nothing.

There are many people in the Five Realms of the Earth, but in the entire Tang Dynasty, there are very few people who can cultivate to the Four Realms of Heaven. ”

Li Bing listened to it with relish, he didn't learn martial arts before, and he didn't dabble in these things, but now that he studies it, there are still so many doorways.

"Hey, that's a long way off. Mi Xin returned the manuscript of the "Three Golden Lock Veins" to Li Bing.

"Back to the five realms of the land:

The so-called first 'enlightenment realm' is to pass through the acupoints and fix the meridians, and the meridians call themselves Zhoutian. Once the meridians of the whole body are opened, you can accept the aura of heaven and earth, which is called enlightenment. This is the most basic requirement for the cultivation of the technique, and the influence is also the most far-reaching, because it will determine the way a person's true qi circulates.

There are many ways to open the mind, and the impact on people is also different.

The most common is to use martial arts to enter the body, first master the inner or outer kung fu, and then gradually open up the meridians around the body. The vast majority of people started cultivating magic in this way. The Ram Sword Master who cast the 'Three Golden Locks' for you should belong to this category.

This method also has many benefits, the foundation is solid, and because the body is refined first, and then the qi is practiced, it often cultivates both inside and outside, complementing each other. But there are also drawbacks, one is time-consuming and laborious, and the other is that the method of true qi rotation is limited by the kung fu learned, and the 'qi sea' can often only be selected in the dantian, so that the types of spells that can be performed are limited, which we will talk about in detail later.

The second common way to open the mind, just like your Uncle Mi and me, abandon martial arts and enter the body with literature. It is often used to enter the scriptures such as Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism, and to seek the unity of the body and mind with heaven and earth, and to feel the aura of heaven and earth, and to nourish the meridians. In this way, the pursuit of truth comes first, and the focus is not on cultivation.

This approach doesn't work for everyone, and that's why we need the so-called 'Wisdom Roots'. The difficulty is more difficult, and the benefits are obvious, first, the true qi grows quickly, and it will not regress easily. Second, the place where the sea is cultivated can be any part of the body, so the spells that can be cast are also diverse.

In addition, there is also the method of nourishing the meridians and opening the body with the elixir of heaven and earth; Buddhism and Taoism also have the so-called enlightenment; in short, there are various methods. ”

"What about me?" Li Bing was puzzled when he heard this, his true qi had already been able to operate in his body, so he was naturally enlightened, but he didn't seem to belong to any of the above.

"You belong to the 'transmission of gong' enlightenment. He said here and sighed lightly: "Some seniors will pass their true qi to their juniors and help them open their minds. But in fact, this is the best way to open the mind...... One of the worst. ”

"Ahh

"In addition to causing great damage to the practitioners. Those who receive the transmission will also be greatly limited in their practice of the technique. That senior passed on the gong to you, not only to help you open your mind, but also to help you cultivate the sea, and it only took a stick of incense to let you enter the 'second realm of crossing' in one fell swoop. In the world, how can there be such a good thing.

Passing on the power and opening the mind is to help the seedlings grow. Because what nourishes your meridians and qi sea is not the aura of heaven and earth, but his true qi, so in this life, in addition to his method of condensing his true qi, it is difficult for you to get half of the benefits from any other martial arts, and if you can perform spells, you must also be of the same sect and origin, otherwise you will be devoured. ”

"His method of condensing true qi? Do you mean "Bai Xue Neijing"?" Hearing that he seemed to have chosen the worst path, Li Bing's heart suddenly became even more lost: "But isn't "Bai Xue Neijing" a Legalist kung fu?

"Your internal strength is weird, it doesn't seem to be the internal strength of the Legalists. I can't say the specifics, these cultivation matters, put them aside for now, and let's solve your 'Three Golden Locks' matter first." Mi Xin touched his chin and said:

"I just said that the first level of 'Enlightenment Realm' is closely related to the second level, 'Cultivating the Sea Realm'.

The sea in this 'Xiu Hai' is the sea of qi. The amount of heaven and earth aura that can be stored in the meridians is very limited, so it is necessary to open up a place to store the true qi, which is the sea of qi. Those who use martial arts can only choose dantian, and those who use literature to enter the body can choose some other places, and can even cultivate the double sea and triple sea to perform some strange spells.

After that, the third 'Dipping Realm' needs to reach the point where you can freely control the true qi circulation in your body. The purpose of strengthening by accumulating true qi on an organ or skin, or on the armor of a weapon, is the simplest use of jujutsu. Some techniques, such as 'Eye Vision' and 'Spirit Dog Divine Sniff', are based on this.

Reaching the fourth level of the 'Imperial Realm' can be regarded as a small success. The requirement is that the true qi can be released and can control objects outside of oneself. This control is not a random control, and it has to be done through specific spells. 'The Three Golden Locks is one of them. ’

The fifth level, 'Crossing the Spirit Realm', requires that after the true qi is released, it can also form an entity, or form an entity through something else. Most of the techniques in this realm are somewhat famous, such as the Taoist 'sprinkling beans into soldiers', Shushan's 'Qi Sword Technique', Nanzhao Duan's 'Six Veins Divine Sword' and so on.

Further to the 'Four Realms of Heaven' above here, I can't reach it. ”

He let out a long breath: "After saying this, in fact, the solution to your problem is simple, one of them is to find a 'Ghost Valley' lineage, a master of magic above the Imperial Realm. However, the 'Guigu One Vein' is too hidden, and I'm afraid this can't be done.

This second method is to find a master of spells in Chang'an, and forcibly cast the spell of the Guigu lineage, even if the power will be reduced, as long as his crossing ability is deep enough, he can also succeed. ”

Mi Xin pondered it in his mind, and said:

"Although I am also 'Crossing the Spirit Realm', I don't have a good grasp of this technique. In Chang'an, there are about 20 people who have cultivated above me. There are about four who are willing to help you:

One is the non-factional leader. ”

"Linyuan's father?" Li Bing was slightly suspicious when he heard this, in his impression, his sworn brother Han Linyuan's father seemed to be a weak strategist, and he had never heard of any magic skills.

"Exactly, the non-faction started with magic, and the advanced magic is changeable, which has occupied the name of the head of the Legalist for many years. It's just that in the past few decades, the non-faction has actively sought power, and there are fewer people who are willing to calm down and practice magic, and many advanced techniques have been wasted, so they are not famous.

But even so, Master Han's cultivation is much higher than mine.

The second person is the first seat of the Ximing Temple, although he is a martial artist, but his cultivation is extremely high. Ximing Temple is a royal temple, and they are bound to help if asked.

The third person, the 'Qingxu' real person of the Eight Immortals of Chang'an. He was devoted to the Tao, and he didn't care about trivial things, but King Xiang was kind to him in his early years, so we can probably open our mouths.

The fourth person is the one I think is the most powerful, the former Qintian Supervisor - Kanyu Yixin, the stargazing school, the fourth generation of Li Chunfeng's descendant - Beimeng. ”
