Chapter 4: The Sevenfold Soul Refining
The Land of Order North.
A desolate sea of dark green trees.
Emperor Mengqing, who was dressed in white like snow, looked nervous, and half-knelt in front of the three huge wooden masks that were levitating.
These three masks are all as tall as people, from left to right, in addition to the facial features, the masks are depicted with three motifs: the thousand-armed Guanyin, the four-armed giant, and the blazing phoenix.
"How did it turn out?" said the huge mask carved with the four-armed giant in a hoarse and slender voice.
Emperor Mengqing knew that he was asking about Mochen, but his expression was a little hesitant: "Tell my lord, Mengqing saw that young man at the beginning......"
"We just need to know the results!"
Before Di Mengqing could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the mask on the right side.
"Gift...... Tell your lordship...... Lose...... Failed......" Emperor Mengqing trembled, and the whole person knelt down completely, not daring to raise his head in fear.
"Rubbish!" The mask on the right side roared, and the sound wave directly knocked Di Mengqing out, and in the ground woods, after breaking several big trees one after another, he barely fell.
"Ahem, cough ......" severe pain hit his body, Di Mengqing kept coughing up blood, and the internal organs in his body had been stirred up.
But even so, she endured the pain and dizziness and crawled back to the three giant masks.
Because if they don't, they'll kill her!
"This young man also didn't bear the soul of the head of the family, was he blown up?" At this time, the mask depicting the thousand-armed Guanyin on the left side opened his mouth.
"Ahem...... Announcing the ...... Person...... The boy survived. "Di Mengqing worked hard to soothe the restless qi and blood in her body, driving them to rush to the injured internal organs, thereby delaying the injury.
"Oh?" the unexpected answer intrigued the mask on the left.
It turned out that the monstrous beast that attacked Mochen had a formation carved on its body, and Emperor Mengqing could communicate with the Heavenly Eye on the Heavenly Dome at any time to observe the progress of the whole thing.
At first, everything was normal, but after the spiritual light entered the center of Mo Chen's eyebrows, the entire Heavenly Eye seemed to be disturbed and suddenly lost its effect.
By the time the eye of heaven recovered, there was no trace of ink dust at all.
Di Mengqing was so anxious that she hurriedly set off to search deep in the mountains and forests.
After searching for a long time, maybe it was her luck that allowed her to find Mochen before everyone in Sinhu Village.
But under her detection, Mo Chen did not have any family master breath in her body, which made her a little unwilling, and when she wanted to do further testing, everyone from Sinhu Village had already arrived.
In order not to reveal her identity, Di Mengqing could only hide temporarily.
For the next two days, she had been secretly observing Mochen's every move, but to her disappointment, Mochen acted like no one was fine, and nothing happened.
Speaking of this, Di Mengqing also stopped, closed her eyes, and waited quietly.
She had already told all the information she knew, and whether she lived or died depended on the decision of the three masks.
After a long time, the mask in the middle finally spoke: "Continue to observe for a few more days, maybe the soul of the head of the family has just recovered and is still lurking." At the same time, continue to find the right body to prepare for the second hand, remember, I don't want to hear the word failure again!"
"Boom!"
As soon as the words fell, the three masks suddenly disintegrated at the same time, and at the same time, they completely turned into a little spiritual light, and were blown into the heavens and the earth by the wind.
And the injuries in Di Mengqing's body also completely broke out, making her completely faint.
............
Two days later, dawn broke, and after a short period of holy law cultivation, Mo Chen began to practice boxing again.
It's not that Mo Chen is lazy and doesn't want to cultivate, but after trying last night, he has found some doorways.
That is, only when the sun and the moon rise, can he cultivate the Sun and Moon Enlightenment Spiritual Sacred Method, otherwise no matter how hard he tries, it will only be in vain, and there will be no vision.
"Hoo ......"
Slowly exhale a breath of turbidity.
Mo Chen has almost stayed awake for the past two nights, thinking about it for a long time.
After thinking about it all night, he realized that although he could cultivate, he was actually still in a state of black eyes.
Not to mention the advanced elements of cultivation such as cultivation realm and magic techniques, he didn't even know where there were places in the most basic place of order, let alone the method of harnessing the power in his body.
"Go to your father. ”
Without saying anything, Mo Chen walked out of the yard directly, followed the gravel path, and soon passed through two lush meadows to the door of the other courtyard.
The shadows of the trees in the yard are mottled, there are a few big trees that can only be hugged by several people in the lawn, there are no living figures on both sides of the stone path, and several sharp swords can be faintly seen in the distance, and the quiet atmosphere is full of a sense of slaughter, just like those trees that stand straight up to the sky, and like cold weapons displayed everywhere in the yard.
In the dilapidated house deep in the courtyard, Mo Hong seemed to be taking care of the room.
He peeled open a few of the floor tiles under his feet, revealing hollows in them, like a storage place.
In addition to the countless dusty books open, there is also a completely silk-entangled object that cannot be seen in shape, but only rectangular.
This piece of silk is soft and light to the touch, and there is a faint green air flowing on the surface, which is obviously not ordinary.
Mo Hong picked it up carefully and touched it gently, with a little emotion in his eyes.
"Knock, knock, knock. ”
"Daddy, are you free?"
It's the sound of ink dust.
"You wait in the yard, I'll come out right away. Mo Hong replied lightly, and put the silk package back in its place.
Slowly erecting his crutches, Mo Hong pushed open the door of the house, and saw Mo Chen standing quietly outside the door, and the spirit of the whole person had undergone a complete transformation.
"What's wrong?"
Mo Hong limped over to Mo Chen, stretched out his calloused palm and touched Mo Chen's head.
"Daddy, I want to practice martial arts. ”
When he said this, the smile on Mo Hong's face paused for a moment, and he was slightly angry: "Why?"
Mo Chen rarely saw his father put on such a serious face, and he was a little flustered for a while, and he didn't say a reason for a long time.
Mo Hong knew that he was too excited, so he took a few deep breaths at the moment, trying to calm his emotions, and gently placed his palm on Mo Chen's shoulder.
"Tell Daddy, did you encounter anything in the mountains and forests before?"
Mo Hong changed his tone and tried his best to smile kindly, but his wrinkled face really didn't match kindness.
Mo Chen has long been accustomed to this, in fact, he has long wanted to ask his father about the "Illusory Sun Realm Treasure", but he has not been able to find a suitable opportunity, and now that his father is asking, then he also has a matter on his mind.
He sorted out his thoughts and said, "I went into the depths of the mountains and forests before, and I was there ...... Encountering an injured beast, I tried to escape from the beast for a long time, and finally fell off a cliff and woke up at home. ”
In this passage, Mo Chen's eyes widened, and the more he spoke, the more frightened he became, the first half was still his own consciousness, but after he arrived at "there", his mouth kept calling, as if he was controlled by others, and kept spitting out experiences that had nothing to do with him.
"It's not like that...... If it weren't for the fact that the beast was badly wounded, I'd have died in the belly of the beast. ”
Mo Chen panicked and wanted to correct it, but found that every time he said the key point, he would be controlled by an inexplicable force, and he would spit out words that were very different from the original.
So much so that in Mo Hong's eyes, Mo Chen was a little incoherent.
Coupled with Mo Chen's frightened and inexplicable expression, Mo Hong naturally thought that Mo Chen was frightened by this escape experience, so he immediately hugged Mo Chen with one hand and patted his back.
"It's okay, it's okay, this matter has turned the page, it's over, I know, if you want to practice martial arts, you're also scared by this experience. ”
Mo Hong looked at Mo Chen seriously, shook his head and said, "If you really want to learn martial arts, I can't teach you." It's just that...... You are not young now, your bones are set, and many movements are not practiced at all.
If you don't practice this skill, your power will be greatly reduced......"
Mo Chen didn't answer, his shocked expression didn't diminish in the slightest, he still couldn't understand what was happening to him.
He could only do his best, and did a few extremely deep and long breaths to expelle the numbing discomfort as much as possible.
Mo Hong looked at Mo Chen like this, and he couldn't bear it, he muttered for a while, and finally agreed.
............
It didn't take long for Mochen to return from Mo Hong's courtyard, and unlike when he went, he was holding a thick pile of worn-out books in his hand.
The young man's heart comes and goes quickly.
Ink dust is even more so.
After many unsuccessful attempts to say the "Illusory Sun Realm Treasure", and even unable to write down its related contents, Mochen stopped trying to calm himself down as much as possible and not think about these things.
At least this 'Illusory Sun Realm Treasure' has not caused any damage to itself now, and it has also broken its own cultivation ban. ”
Mochen kept comforting himself.
He placed the books in his arms neatly on the bed, lined up.
Looking at the title of the book, Mochen was hesitating which one to read first.
He felt like he had never been happier before, and it felt like the doors of a new world were about to open, but he was a little overwhelmed.
Ink Dust knew that these books were taken out of the small cubicle under the floor tiles in his father's room.
In the past, every time he wanted to go into the cubicle to play when he was a child, he would be severely scolded by Mo Hong, and he would be beaten in serious cases.
As a result, he has some psychological shadows about this cubicle after that.
So after seeing these books this time, he was even more pleasantly surprised, and even the horror of the "Phantom Yang Realm Treasure" before was diluted a lot.
But what he cared about most was the object that was carefully wrapped in fine silk.
""Cultivation True Solution", "The Way of True Immortals", "Heaven and Earth Pattern" ......"
Mo Chen swept his gaze around, although it was not a martial art, he finally picked up the "True Solution of Cultivation" and lay on the bed to read it.
"In today's world, there are four roads to heaven, which are divided into four avenues: Tao, Buddha, Demon, and Burial. But no matter which of these four avenues it is, it is not divided into two categories: the physical realm and the soul refining realm.
Among them, there are four layers of physical realm, the bones are high and the flesh is full, the five internal organs have been formed, the spirit is sacrificing, and there is no shadow.
According to the records in the book, Mochen estimated his own realm, which should be at the peak of the five internal organs, faintly close to the realm of divine qi and heart.
On top of the physical realm, there is the sixfold soul refining realm, once the monk reaches this realm, he can break away from the mortal womb, mobilize the aura of heaven and earth, and have the power to call the wind and rain......"
Mo Chen was fascinated by it, and the books were full of things he had never heard of, and the monks in it could even move mountains and reclaim the sea, fight against an entire army on their own, and countless powerful magic weapons.
These are things that Mochen could never have imagined before.
"Hoo ......"
Mo Chen let out a sigh, a little unfinished, and opened the "Pattern of Heaven and Earth" again.
"At the beginning of chaos, talent is divided into six continents.
Since the disappearance of the Six Saints, their bloodline power has taken over their position as the overlord of heaven and earth.
Among them, the Infinite Buddha Kingdom in the West Niuhe Continent is the most powerful, followed by the Holy Blood Emperor Family in the Outer Sea Wasteland, and the Moral Saint Sect in the Nanzhan Continent and the Holy Blood Wind Family in the Dongsheng Divine Continent are ranked third and fourth.
Although these powerful bloodline forces make people flock to them, only a few great powers can grasp their position.
Because these four bloodline forces do not exist in the world, they are separated from heaven and earth, and only a few channels are connected to heaven and earth.
These four realms of freedom are all cast by the Six Sacred Places, and are known as the 'Land of Order'.
And under the four major bloodline forces, countless sects have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and in addition to the original four avenues to heaven, two branch roads of demons and witches have also been opened up in order to prove the ...... of immortality."
Mo Chen slowly closed the book, his eyes full of horror.
What is Order?
The sun and the moon are orderly, the year is divided into four seasons, no disasters and harmless, wind and rain.
What is out-of-order?
The sun and the moon are out of their responsibility, the heavens and the earth are out of order, or the four seasons are reversed, or the sun and the moon are in the sky, and even the sky is falling and the sun is inverted, and the yin and yang are reversed.
This is far more terrifying than Mo Chen knows.
And he also learned from this book that the monks of the people in the outside world all lived in an area called the Array City.
These array cities were all cast by ancient times, and the entire land was shrouded by two monstrous formations inside and outside, sheltering the creatures in them, but the method of casting array cities has long been lost.
Mochen lay quietly on the bed with a large font, recalling the contents of these books.
It was a little difficult for a fifteen-year-old boy to accept so many new things for a while, and he still needed time to digest them.
After a long time, he thought for a moment, and pulled out a booklet from his bosom, which, unlike the others, was wrapped in layers of yellow cloth.
He carefully and slowly opened it, revealing the innermost booklet.
There are a few large characters written on the surface of the booklet.
'Tiger roaring and thundering palm technique'.
The name is bluffing.
This is Mo Chen's initial evaluation of this exercise.
He looked at the pamphlet and recalled what his father said: "This is a superficial palm technique given to me by a wandering Taoist I met in my early years, and its strength can be called third-rate.
Don't underestimate that it is only third-rate, there are also outstanding points in it, and the third-rate cheats are also enough to enter the library of those mortal organizations.
You take it and take a look at it first, there is a detailed posture diagram on it, and a footnote specially written by me, try it yourself according to the practice, if there is anything that doesn't make sense, come to me again. ”
Mo Chen knew that martial arts training was a delicate job, and many of the details needed to be constantly explored, and it was not something that could be easily learned by following the booklet casually, so he was not in a hurry, but after reading a lot of basic knowledge for the children of the family, he began to study this martial arts secret book by himself.
The Tiger Roaring Thunder Palm Technique, said to be the palm technique, actually has only two moves.
All three moves are attacking.
No defense, no dodging, just offense.
The first move is Tiger Might.
The second move, Thunderbrake.
The move is also very simple, that is, two different palm trajectories, combined with the irregular tremor of the flesh and blood, so as to exert different power effects.
Mochen looked at it a little and knew the general idea.
But this move is simple and simple, but the power depends on skill and mastery, strength and speed.
And the speed of strength is about the coordination of one's own body.
Therefore, the last page of this Tiger Roaring Thunder Palm Method is also equipped with a complete set of body techniques.
The so-called body method is how to temper flesh and blood, condense qi and blood, and bring this palm technique to the extreme.
The move is to adjust the outside, and the body is to adjust the inside, and the two phases are coordinated to reach the point where the spirit and spirit are integrated.
There are two layers of Ben Thunder Body Method, each layer corresponds to each layer of palm method, and the palm method has the same name.
The cultivation of the body method, according to the proficiency of the external tricks mentioned in the booklet, can be regarded as the complete practice of this palm method to the completion of the mastery.
After a few pillars of incense, Mochen gently closed the page and began to close his eyes and meditate.
After more than ten breaths, he opened his eyes and turned the page again to repeat the reading.
This time he took less time than the first time, and it took only one stick of incense to read it again.
Then he closed his eyes again and began to meditate on the contents of the book.
This has been repeated several times, and the sunlight shining from the window is still so blazing.
Closing the page of the Tiger Roaring Thunder Palm for the last time, Mochen did not open it again, but slowly got up and walked into the courtyard.
He didn't take out the book, but only relied on the memory in his mind and began to flip his palms, controlling his qi and blood to follow the route of the Thunder Body.
But after running it a few times, I found that this body method was obscure, and the qi and blood were extremely unsmooth according to its route.
"Hoo ......"
Mochen let out a sigh of relief, took the trick, and sat directly on the ground.
There was no loss, let alone despair, he knew that the luck of qi and blood was blocked because he had just cultivated this chapter.
It is impossible to achieve any exercise overnight, it is a natural process, and only with a lot of practice and practice can you master the essence of it.
Just thinking like this, there was a sudden wind blowing, with a faint fragrance of flowers, which reminded Mo Chen of the sea of reeds in the demon spirit position karma map.
"That's right!
Mo Chen slapped his forehead, his eyes seemed to glow, he clearly remembered that when he was running the Holy Method, the qi and blood in his body were unimpeded, and there was no previous obscurity at all.
So in that case, why don't you try to use the holy law to urge the tiger to roar and run to the thunder palm method?
He stood up and began to wave his palms again, repeating the trajectory of the two moves.
It's just that this time the operation of qi and blood is not in accordance with the Ben Lei Heart Method, but completely follows the path of the Sun and Moon Enlightenment Spiritual Sacred Method.
"Bang!"
Mo Chen tentatively slapped a palm, and before he could use the Tiger Roaring Thunder Palm Technique, he felt that the qi and blood in his body were speeding up, far better than Fang Cai.
With a joy in his heart, Mochen felt that there was a play, and continued to concentrate on recalling the program of the palm, and suddenly filmed it.
Unlike before, at this moment, he could clearly feel his strength rushing up from his feet, all the way to his waist, and then to his arms.
The muscles of the whole person seem to be connected into a line.
This sense of fluency in the conduction of qi and blood is described in detail in the Tiger Roar Thunder Palm Technique, and it already belongs to the peak level of the Thunder Body Method.
Seeing this, Mo Chen's body stiffened suddenly.
Not scared, but excited!
In addition to the excitement, Mo Chen danced his palms again.
"Bang!
The two palms were slapped out, and there was a faint hint of tiger roar.
Feeling the sensation of mobilizing the qi and blood of the whole body again made him cheer, but at the same time he was not so excited that he forgot himself, because according to the record in the palm method, the first major achievement of the palm technique, the tiger roar was deafening and devastating when he waved his palm, and Mo Chen's tiger roar at this time was not as good as that of a newborn tiger cub.
It's going to take a lot of time.
He tried his best to calm the excitement in his heart, and began to weigh carefully, he could integrate his strength and fight it together, such a realm, even if he was just an ordinary person, with one palm, he could exert a terrifying power speed far beyond ordinary people.
Mo Chen was delighted, and the first thing he thought of was his father.
If my father knew about his progress at this time, he would have been very happy.
Thinking of this, Mo Chen wanted to leave, but suddenly heard a strange noise.
"Gollum ......"
Only then did he realize that noon had long passed, and he had not yet eaten lunch.
