Chapter 46: The Competition
Although it was delayed for a few days in the Demon Sealing Cave, it was a good harvest day for Hu Yan. Not only did he refine an ancient spiritual weapon like the Qiankun Emperor Bell by chance, but he also broke through the entrance and opened up the second vein of Rendu.
Hu Yan could finally feel the true power that was constantly running in his lower abdomen, as well as the power that seemed to swell around him. Although I have not yet succeeded in building a foundation, I have stepped into real practice. But the strength has also increased a lot. At least you don't have to hide behind people anymore and become the object of protection.
After coming down from the rocky hill and returning to the original route, everyone embarked on the journey again.
Although this Tuoshan Mountain is high and the road is dangerous, it is not difficult for everyone. And with Ziling leading the way, it only took three days for everyone to walk out of Tuoshan.
Under Tuoshan Mountain, a big river in the distance lies in front of you, like a winding dragon, surging and magnificent.
"That's the Tuojiang River! But to get to the intersection of the Sexi River and the Tuojiang River, you have to walk for a few days. Ziling pointed to the big river and said happily. Along the way, Ziling naturally knew where Hu Yan and others came from. For the evil dragon that killed many people, Ziling was both afraid and curious, and she was also looking forward to seeing what the evil demon dragon looked like.
Hu Yan raised his eyes and looked at the magnificent river, and his heart was full of emotion.
"I guess we're here one step ahead of the dragon!"
Hu Yan looked at the smoke slowly rising on the edge of the Tuojiang River, and thought that this place had not been harmed by the evil dragon, and couldn't help but be overjoyed.
"In that case, let's find a place to settle down and rest for a while. Zhuang Bai scratched his itchy scalp and grinned uncomfortably.
"yes, I'm slimy, I need to wash and change my clothes. Jin Ning'er sniffed the clothes on her body, and suddenly turned her face away with disgust, the sour smell was simply gone.
After walking in the mountains for several days, the food in the Qiankun bag had already been eaten and the water had been drunk. This is the second thing, everyone has not bathed and changed clothes for several days, and the smell of sweat has long been exuded from the body, and even the head does not know how many lice have grown, and the itchy person is uncomfortable.
"Sister Ning'er, don't worry, there is a town behind that wood, we can go there to invest in the store. Ziling pointed to a dense forest in the upper reaches of the Tuojiang River and said.
"Then what are we waiting for, let's go. Hearing Ziling say this, Jin Ning'er, who had been complaining all the way all the way, suddenly came to her senses and pulled Ziling to run down the mountain quickly.
"Hey, slow down, don't run so fast......" Zhuang Bai looked at Jin Ning'er, who was running away, and shook his head helplessly. He glanced back at Hu Yan, but grinned: "Brother Hu, your exercises have improved a lot in the past few days, why don't we compare and see who can reach the town in front faster?"
"Okay, Bibi is Bibi, I'm just trying to try the results of these few days of practice. Hu Yan nodded.
"Tournament, count me in. Wu Qiu also said excitedly.
"Cheng, it's just the three of us, whoever loses will rub the back of the winner, how about it?" Zhuang Bai said with a smile.
Wuqiu glanced at Zhuang Bai, and said with a pout: "Come on, I'm afraid you won't succeed." ”
Seeing Zhuang Bai's inquiring gaze, Hu Yan shrugged his shoulders, and his face didn't matter: "I'm not afraid of asking for anything, what am I afraid of." Isn't it just rubbing your back, what's the big deal? Besides, we don't necessarily lose. It's Brother Zhuang, you, don't be reliant if you lose when the time comes. ”
"Haha, don't worry, I will never cheat. Zhuang Bai looked like he had succeeded in his conspiracy and laughed.
Without a grin, he suddenly pointed to the distance with a frightened face and said, "Brother Zhuang, look at the ...... over there."
Zhuang Bai's heart sank, could it be that something happened to his junior sister and Ziling, and he hurriedly looked in the direction that Wuqiu was pointing, but saw Jin Ning'er and Ziling running away laughing.
"Wuqiu, what's wrong?" Zhuang Bai was a little stunned, not knowing what was going on.
Just when Zhuang Bai was stunned, Wuqiu had already spread his feet and ran away: "Fool, why are you still stunned, hurry up!"
Wu Qiu ran away, and did not forget to turn around and remind the nonsense that was also a little stunned.
Hu Yan instantly understood, took a low sip, and hurriedly followed.
At this time, Zhuang Bai hadn't reacted yet, and he didn't wake up until Hu Yan ran away. "Fooled !!"
"Good boy, play a ......" Zhuang Bai cursed and quickly chased after him......
Since Hu Yan observed his qi, the senses in various parts of his body have become much more sensitive, and even his fists and feet are more powerful than before. When punching, you can even faintly hear the sound of breaking the air, which is a realm that can only be achieved by martial arts masters. After tasting the sweetness of Hu Yan, he practiced the art of vomiting more diligently, and with Zhuang Bai's guidance, he finally succeeded in mobilizing the true power in his lower abdomen yesterday morning.
With the help of this true power, Hu Yan can be regarded as half a cultivator.
At this moment, he had already raised the true power in his lower abdomen and poured it into his feet. Suddenly, there was wind under his feet, as if flying like an arrow from a string. In a moment, he caught up with Wuqiu, who ran out first.
Wuqiu watched all directions and listened to all directions, and saw Hu Yan chasing after him, hurriedly used his real strength, and rushed forward more quickly, and gradually opened the distance again.
Hu Yan is not in a hurry, breathing at a uniform speed, and does not let Wuqiu's sudden acceleration disrupt his rhythm. Between exhaling and inhaling, I felt that my lower abdomen was gradually heating up, and the true power in the dantian not only did not decrease due to consumption, but became more and more full.
At this time, there was a sudden wind behind him, and Hu Yan glanced at it, but saw Zhuang Bai rushing over like a gust of wind, and the speed was much faster than himself and Wuqiu. Soon Zhuang Bai caught up with Hu Yan.
"I almost caught your way!" Zhuang Bai didn't forget to remind Hu Yan when he passed by Hu Yan: "This stinky boy is running very fast, Brother Hu, you have to hurry up and keep up, otherwise if you lose, you have to wipe our backs." ”
Hu Yan grinned: "Got it, I'll do my best." ”
"Then I'll go first!" Zhuang Bai raised his eyebrows at Hu Yan and chased after Wu Qiu with a scolding.
Hu Yan doesn't care much about winning or losing this game, after all, even if he loses, it's just a big deal to wipe the back of others. What he cared about at the moment was how to use the true power in his body more favorably in actual combat.
Although I had heard Brother Zhuang talk a lot about the use of real power in actual combat before, it was basically Zhuang Bai talking nonsense, and he had not practiced it at all. And now is a good opportunity to practice, after all, practice can lead to true knowledge.
The master once said that the practice is to do nothing and not fight, to seek the true self, and to remove the false and retain the true.
The so-called inaction is not inaction, but inaction. Don't interfere too much, achieve self-realization, and move towards nobility and glory.
The Taoist patriarch Lao Tzu once said that "rule by doing nothing", although it is the principle of governing the country, its meaning is generally the same as the way of cultivation. That's exactly what it means.
The "contention" in non-contention is relative to "for", and the focus is on "for". That is to say, no matter what you do, you have to do it first, and as for whether the result is beneficial to you, or how much it is beneficial, don't take it to heart first. As long as you do it step by step, take it seriously, do your best, and don't deliberately fight for it, even if you don't care about the result, you will find that the result will often be surprisingly good.
This is a mentality, a pattern, don't worry about small profits, as long as you work hard, you will find that even if it is big and difficult, God will favor you in the end.
The husband is the only one who does not fight, and the husband is the only one who can not compete with the world. That's it.
But in the vast world, there are all living beings, and those who can do nothing and fight have geometry, can seek the true self, and have geometry to eliminate the false and retain the true.
Therefore, there are very few people who can achieve great success in cultivation.
Hu Yan kept everything the master said in mind, and at this moment, seeing that Brother Zhuang and Wu Qiu surpassed him, he was not in a hurry at all, but just according to his own thoughts, he spit and breathed, calmly urging the true power in his body.
Gradually, Hu Yan felt that his lower abdomen was getting hotter and hotter, and the surging heat in the dantian began to spread around, and his body was instantly filled with explosive power.
As Hu Yan ran with all his might, he suddenly found that the scene around him began to blur, the wind was whistling in his ears, and the dust was rolling up when his feet moved.
At this moment, Zhuang Bai has already surpassed Wuqiu, and he has left Hu Yan far behind.
Wuqiu knew in his heart that with his strength, even if he was a little clever, it was impossible to win Zhuang Bai, and it was not difficult for him to accept being surpassed by Zhuang Bai, and the only thing he was worried about now was nonsense. If he loses to himself, a junior disciple who is a latecomer, this is something he can't tolerate. Anyway, he has been following his master for several years, and he has entered the middle level of the qi training period early, if he is overtaken by nonsense, how can he be embarrassed as a senior brother. So, today you can't afford to lose to nonsense in any case.
But when Wuqiu looked back, a heart sank to the bottom.
I saw a faint golden light around Hu Yan's body, carrying the Gangfeng and riding in the dust. He was already a few meters away from him.
"How could it be so fast!" Wuqiu was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly urged his true power to run forward faster.
Wuqiu runs fast, but nonsense is faster. In the blink of an eye, it has gone hand in hand with Wuqiu.
Looking at the nonsense beside him, Wu Su was already bloodless. But what he didn't expect was that Hu Yan slowly surpassed him, and even gradually distanced himself.
He didn't believe he could outrun nonsense. But the reality was like a ruthless steel knife, stabbing him in the heart so hard that he had to admit this fact.
Looking at Hu Yan who was running farther and farther, he had already run with all his might, but he could only watch Hu Yan and the distance between him getting bigger and bigger, and there was nothing he could do.
"Heaven, earth, what's wrong with this world, I'm also the senior brother who started first, how can I be surpassed by my junior brother ......"
There is no desire to look up to the sky and howl, and there is no cry to cry. No one could tell him why, only the dust......
