Chapter 61: The Unity of Heaven and Man
The thatched hut is built near the water, not far behind the house is a small river with a width of a zhang, there are some willows sparsely falling by the riverside, the branches are swaying in the autumn wind, autumn rain and autumn mist, the scene is like the national hand dyed with ink, the picture is hazy and quiet, the artistic conception is elegant and sad.
There is a new grave under an old willow tree with crooked branches, and there is no tombstone in front of the grave, and there are no traces of incense, candles, paper money, etc., so the people who pass by here regard it as an ordinary mound, and there are already several footprints on the grave, and there are several piles of cow and sheep dung next to it.
According to his last words, the ashes of the old monster were buried deep in this grave, accompanied by fallen leaves, next to the stream, and returned to the boundless earth, and there was no more wandering.
Nearly two months ago, not long after Zhao Ziming set off to Tianyan Mansion to collect medicine, the medicine old monster suddenly lifted the turtle breath method and woke up.
It turned out that his breakthrough and disturbance not only caused the internal force to scatter and endanger his life, but also caused the recurrence of the old disease that had been cured, and even the turtle breath technique that blocked the vitality could no longer be maintained.
After waking up, the medicine old monster lost all his internal strength, and after only half a day, he drove to the west.
Before dying, he and Xu Wen drank a few jars of wine, chatted about the joys and sorrows of the past years, left a letter to Zhao Ziming, and finally sighed: "If you can have no regrets, this life is enough, it's a pity, a pity!"
Zhao Ziming waved his sleeves, and his blood swept out, cleaned up the filth around the grave, erased the footprints on the grave, knelt down, and kowtowed respectfully three times.
Xu Wen squatted down next to him, handed over a jar of wine, and said with a complicated expression: "Toast Canghai for a glass, he said, not being able to see you for the last time is his biggest regret." ”
Zhao Ziming's eyes drooped slightly, he took the wine, held the altar with both hands and slowly sprinkled it in front of the grave, threw the empty altar into the river, and then reached into his arms and took out two bright and full lotus flowers.
The lotus flower has blue petals and white stems, exuding a faint fragrance, which is the Tianshan Holy Lotus that he has worked so hard and picked after several lives and deaths, but it is no longer needed.
Zhao Ziming was about to urge the blood qi, crush the Tianshan Holy Lotus into powder, and sprinkle it on the grave to worship the master. On Xu Wen's body next to him, a crisp and ethereal strange cry suddenly sounded.
Hearing this cry, Zhao Ziming's body stiffened, and the past surged in, drowning him.
The domineering of forcibly accepting apprentices when I first met him.
On the condition of clearing cold poison, teach the straightforwardness of Bajiquan.
Defend Long Yan and force him to give up the protection of Sun Seeking Revenge.
Always persuade the practice of martial arts to be gradual and not too ambitious.
The selflessness of teaching medical skills.
Solve the confusion of people, and the sincerity of the way to do things.
One by one, one by one, as if it happened yesterday, Master's voice and smile seemed to be right in front of him, but after all, it has become a thing of the past, and now it is separated by yin and yang, never to be seen again.
Zhao Ziming could no longer suppress his emotions, and tears came out of his eyes. He was on his knees like this, crying silently, and great sorrow filled every corner of his body.
In a trance, his soul seemed to break away from his shell, floating up into the gray sky, looking down on the whole land. He raised his hand as if he could touch everything, and there was a barrier between everything and him.
The soul is still immersed in sadness, but it still subconsciously wants to see the world outside the barrier, but after many attempts, it cannot pass through the barrier, and is firmly bound and unable to move.
Then an infinite rage rose in his heart, and he opened his mouth to let out a silent roar, and the sound slammed into the barrier with a raging anger and heavy sadness.
A crystal-like crack appeared in front of him, and after the crack, the new world that Zhao Ziming had seen when he advanced in the belly of the volcanic mountain came to the world again.
Wisps of heaven and earth vitality passed through the cracks in the barrier, hung down, and sank into Zhao Ziming's body, but he didn't react, just his eyes were blank, and he knelt with a sad face, as if he had lost his soul.
At this moment, in his body, the internal force in the dantian was tumbling and surging, running spontaneously, forming a whirlpool, rotating rapidly, and the speed was still accelerating.
The power of the whirlpool was getting bigger and bigger, and Zhao Ziming's body shook from the inside out.
Finally, when the rotational speed reaches a certain critical point, the vortex shrinks into a small white dot, and all the internal force pours into the white dot like a moth to a fire.
After absorbing the internal force, the white dot spit out a wisp of bright red hot airflow, which quietly dissipated as if it had never appeared, and Zhao Ziming's body had no trace of internal force.
At this moment, the heaven and earth vitality of the outside world entered his body, and the hot air flow in the dantian rushed out, sucking it clean in an instant, still not satisfied, and rushed up, drilling out from the Baihui acupoint above his head, connecting the world of the outside world.
The barrier full of cracks shattered, and the new world behind it finally appeared again without reservation, and the rich heaven and earth vitality sprinkled down, and was unceremoniously swallowed by the scorching air flow above Zhao Ziming's head.
The scorching air flow grew rapidly, forming a red vortex, entrenched on Zhao Ziming's head, slowly rotating, emitting a huge suction, and more Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi was pulled down.
All of this was Zhao Ziming's instinctive action, and his consciousness had already flown into that magical new world when a crack appeared in the Yuan Realm barrier.
This is a sea of colorful clouds, vast and boundless, rolling or rolling or Shu clouds tumbling and floating, changing in many ways, and any small changes, but it seems majestic.
The sea of clouds is mainly white, but also sporadically mixed with various colors of clouds, red, orange, blue, purple and other colors in the world, all of which are missing, and there are many strange colors that Zhao Ziming has never seen.
His consciousness was close to a cloud of green, blue and purple, the green cloud exuded a fresh breath of life, and the blue cloud was filled with extreme cold. The purple cloud in the middle of the two is only the size of a palm, but occasionally a wisp of cloud qi can fly out, leaving a large blank space in the other two-colored clouds, which is obviously the most powerful.
Zhao Ziming's consciousness tried to touch the green cloud, but immediately the warning of the birth was great, and he quickly evacuated, but he was still swept away by the green light that suddenly erupted from the green cloud, and felt a pinprick pain.
Since then, Zhao Ziming did not dare to touch the colored clouds at will, but just floated around in the white clouds, and watched the colorful clouds when he encountered them.
There was a sudden sense of intimacy from the side, Zhao Ziming's consciousness drifted over, and he came to a red cloud, and the heat wave in the red cloud was rolling, and he instinctively wanted to get into it.
Zhao Ziming hesitated for a moment, plucked up the courage to touch the red cloud, it was okay, he no longer hesitated, and the whole consciousness drilled in.
A red flashed in front of his eyes, the feeling of trance subsided, and Zhao Ziming's perception returned to his body. As soon as he looked up, he saw a fiery red vortex suspended above his head, more than five feet in diameter.
The scorching aura emanating from the whirlpool was exactly the same as the red cloud in the sea of clouds before. Zhao Ziming realized, but he didn't want to think deeply, with a wave of his right hand, the whirlpool quickly shrank, turned into a streamer and swept down, and threw it into his body.
He took a deep breath and kowtowed three more times, and when he looked up, the sadness on his face had disappeared, replaced by an unmoving determination.
He stood up, "Master, Ziming received your great kindness, there is no way to repay, you often say that life is in the world, when you are happy to be revenge, now the apprentice has learned something, after going out of the mountain, it will be your enemy, but it is a pity!"
Xu Wen suddenly laughed, patted Zhao Ziming's shoulder, and said: "In Canghai's life, the biggest failure lies in accepting apprentices, and the greatest pride lies in accepting apprentices, Ziming, he taught you such a strong person in the Yuan Realm, even if there are regrets, it doesn't matter!"
Fang Cai's vision of heaven and earth, Xu Wen saw it in his eyes, although his martial arts cultivation was not very high, and he had never seen a breakthrough of a Yuan Realm powerhouse before, but his experience in the rivers and lakes was extremely rich, and he could guess what it meant.
Zhao Ziming knew what he meant, and Mr. was worried about his own safety. The death of the master was caused by the Li family, and if he wanted to take revenge, he would inevitably be the enemy of the Li family.
And today's Li family is no longer what it used to be, not only did Old Lady Li successfully enter the Yuan Realm, but not long ago, he took over the military and political power of the entire Yulin Mansion, sitting on hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers and strong generals, and it is definitely not a one-person force to fight.
But Zhao Ziming knows better that he is not an ordinary person. Just now, due to extreme sadness, he touched the threshold of the unity of heaven and man, and successfully broke through to the Yuan Realm, and his strength skyrocketed.
In addition, he also has the attainment of a scholar in the path of physical cultivation, and the two are superimposed, he has self-confidence, and the average Yuan Realm powerhouse is definitely not his opponent!
Zhao Ziming was silent for a moment and said, "Sir, don't worry, Ziming will not be overwhelmed." ”
Xu Wen saw that he was unwilling to give up, shook his head, and didn't persuade much, and took out two things from his arms, but they were a three-legged tripod and a folded piece of straw paper, "This is what Canghai entrusted me to you." ”
Zhao Ziming took the two things, put away the small tripod containing the ice jade silkworm, and opened the straw paper, on which was the master's handwriting.
"Ziming and my apprentice, my time as a teacher is short, and I can't wait for you to come back. The Eight Extremes Fist I have taught you is the foundation of the incompleteness, and there is no subsequent cultivation method for the advanced realm. You can go to the Southern Shenwu Guolie's house, which has a complete foreign kung fu cultivation method. But remember to be careful, the Lie family is a big family that has been inherited for more than five hundred years, and there are Yuan Realm powerhouses in the clan. ”
"As for the improvement of internal strength, it is not an overnight thing, you must not be impatient and rash. With your talent, you will definitely be able to get through the entrance. There are two advanced methods known to the teacher, one is to gather force into a whirlpool, evolve a wisp of natal vitality, and communicate with heaven and earth, this method is the best. The other is the method of blood sacrifice, you can arrange the array according to the map, but this method hurts the heavens and erosion of the mind, and you decide whether to use it or not. ”
In addition, a few months ago, when the Queen Mother was funeral, Li Jing went to the palace to pay respects, but he has not returned so far, and he is afraid of accidents. You go to the prison to investigate, if he is still alive, you will rescue him for the teacher, and forget the fate of this uncle and nephew. ”
"Ziming, the martial arts world is vast and unprovoked, and it is impermanent, you must keep your heart and don't get lost. ”
