Time flickered, and another three months passed.

In these three months, the basic six styles of swordsmanship changed from the repetition of one move and one style of sword practice at the beginning to the practice of six moves coherently, and this practice method was also when he just practiced the basic six styles of swordsmanship to the clouds, and the gods taught him to continue to practice swords in this way.

Now, the toughness of his muscles and veins and the degree to which his muscles and veins can accommodate spiritual energy, with his current condition, has reached the limit, and he will not make any progress if he continues to practice. The gods said that his body and the veins in his body had reached a bottleneck, like a bowl, its volume was only so large that it could not hold too much water, unless a bigger bowl was created. Qu Fan's situation is like this, if he wants to break through again, it depends on his chance, break the current bottleneck, and make the body and the muscles and veins in the body become a larger volume.

Therefore, the gods asked him to relax and calm down, to properly comprehend the Tao Te Ching, and to comprehend the truth in it with his heart. And, at this moment, he was lying in the ding, and he was reading the scriptures of the Tao Te Ching word by word in his heart. Maybe it's been such a long time, and after practicing the sword and swords, the nerves are relaxed at this moment, and when I think of it, "the sound of the great sound is sound, the elephant is invisible, and the Tao is nameless." Fu Wei Dao, good loan and success", suddenly felt the sleepiness in his heart suddenly hit, and his eyelids couldn't help but close.

The moment his eyelids closed, he had a dream, in which he appeared in a circular square, and he saw a multitude of men and women, old and young, kneeling in the square. And the direction of these people kneeling was a high platform, which was about four to five meters away from them, and the height of the high platform was about nine meters, and a woman was sitting on it.

The woman's dress was very different from those of those who knelt down under the high platform, she was dressed in a long robe, her hair was coiled up, and her face was covered by a black veil, so that she could not see her whole picture.

Qu Fan saw that the woman's lips were squirming, as if she was chanting something in her mouth, and made some sounds that Qu Fan couldn't hear, and the voice sounded very strange.

Suddenly, the voice stopped, and I saw her hands folded together, pinching out a strange gesture, suddenly, Qu Fan was attracted by this gesture, he felt that this gesture contained an indescribable charm, and he couldn't help but imitate it. As soon as he finished making this gesture, a strange power arose in his heart.

The woman made one gesture and then changed to another, making a total of nine. And Qu Fan also imitated these nine gestures, and after each imitation, a strange power would be born in his heart. When he finished imitating the last gesture, there were nine strange powers in his heart, and these nine powers were then intertwined, slowly merging, and when they were completely fused, a bloody picture suddenly appeared in his eyes.

In the picture, a woman wearing a black robe and a black veil covering her face led a group of warriors wearing animal skins to fight against a group of giant monsters, the battle was very fierce, the body stumps flew all over the sky, and the red blood was sprinkled all over the battlefield.

The woman suddenly jumped into the air, holding a golden stick in her hand, with a crescent moon at one end, and waved it forward and downward, and a golden light swayed out. In an instant, the monster that was fighting with the beast skin warriors below fell in a large area. Then, the woman turned suddenly, as if sensing someone was peeping, and a dazzling golden light shot out of her eyes.

Suddenly, Qu Fan felt that his eyes were dark, and he suddenly woke up from his dream, and was shocked into a cold sweat.

"It turned out to be a dream. Qu Fan sat up and said in a low voice. He felt that the dream was as real as reality, as if he was experiencing it, and he remembered the picture in the dream clearly.

"The woman in the black robe, the black veil covering her face, and a group of people in animal skins really existed. Qu Fan guessed in his heart, and at the same time, he asked again, "Is that strange gesture and the strange power it produces real?"

After sitting and standing for a long time, he actually began to pinch the first gesture made by the woman in the dream, to his surprise, that strange power was generated in his heart, but this strange power immediately turned into a complex rune and imprinted in his heart. Qu Fan was surprised, and the things in the dream came true.

Immediately after, he made a second gesture, and that strange power was generated again, and immediately turned into a complex rune imprinted in his heart. Then, the third, the fourth, all the way up to the ninth. The rest of the situation is the same, first generating power, and then turning into runes.

When the nine runes slowly began to circulate and gradually intertwined, a feeling arose in Qu Fan's heart, which was somewhat similar to the premonition he suddenly had when he was on Earth, but the difference was that this feeling now could clearly understand what was about to happen. And when I was on Earth, I just felt that something was going to happen, but what it was was very vague.

But as soon as the sensation created by the interweaving of runes fades, the runes gradually disperse. In order to verify the appearance of this feeling, Qu Fan pinched out these nine gestures again, and sure enough, the nine runes began to intertwine again, and the feeling also followed.

"It seems that this tripod is about to land. Before the words fell, the figure of the god suddenly appeared in the ding, and said to Qu Fan: "The ding should land at a node, and by the way, retrieve some things." ”

"Sure enough," Qu Fan said secretly in his heart, and then told the gods everything that happened in the dream, and also demonstrated the nine gestures he learned from the dream to the gods, and said how he felt.

For the first time, the god said to Qu Fan in a tone different from the past: "The previous word secret ....." The previous tone was cold and indifferent.

Qu Fan heard him say these three words, and seemed to remember something, and said uncertainly: "Nine-character mantra?

"Hmm," the god replied, "Nine Secrets, it's a great chance to get one, and you get two at once, and your chance is really not shallow." ”

The god continued: "Moreover, the former word secret is the most mysterious of the nine secrets, and it can perceive a person's past and future according to cause and effect, good fortune and evil, and practice to the extreme, and even see a corner of the future. After he finished speaking, Qu Fan asked, "Senior God, you said that I got two secrets, so what is the other one?"

"The other is the word secret, which is the nine golden runes that I punched into your body. The god replied.

Qu Fan immediately understood, "I see. ”

The god continued, "Since you have learned the first word secret, then, I will teach you how to use the word secret in advance. Originally, I would teach it to you when the time came. With that, the god clasped his hands together and made nine other gestures.

Qu Fan followed suit, and when he finished pinching the last one, he suddenly felt that his qi and blood were vigorous, mixed with a burst of vitality. Then he asked, "Senior, what is the magic of this word secret?"

"The word secret, the only way to heal wounds, cultivate to the extreme, you can get a glimpse of the secret of immortality. Before Qu Fan could express his amazement, the figure of the god had disappeared, and it really came and went without a trace.

Then, Qu Fan felt a shaking under his feet, which was brought about by Ding entering the atmosphere and rubbing with the air current.
