Chapter 63: The Beast Tide

In the middle of the night, a group of four people finally came to the camp where Zhang Erlang's father and daughter were. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

This small camp is by the mountain water, backed by a small mound, and there is a small stream in front of the village, which is a little around the location of the official road, and it is estimated that only hunters like Zhang Erlang who are familiar with geography can find it.

Entering the village, Baiya gave the road guard some silver taels, although they saved Zhang Erlang's father and daughter, but kindness is kindness, accommodation and meal expenses are two words.

The clean water in the camp was taken from the stream in front of the village, and after simple filtration and high-temperature disinfection, the two of them finally took a good bath.

The structure of the dwellings in the village is very simple, with hard trees as pillars, thick cloth and fur around the walls, charcoal pots are placed inside to protect against the cold, and the top is covered with thatch.

This thatch can be used as a roof or as fodder for pack animals after drying, but it is not wasted at all.

Although this kind of grass house is simple, it is enough to shelter from the cold wind and humidity at night, and it is much more comfortable than sleeping in a sleeping bag in the wild.

Because the two men and women were different, they paid a sum of silver taels, so the camp arranged two grass houses for them.

Bai Ya has been worried about being attacked for the past few days, and he can't sleep well at night, which will relax, so he has some leisure time, and can't help but think about his martial arts cultivation.

His current martial arts cultivation is in the middle level of the artistic conception, and the White Tiger Law Appearance gradually has a smart charm, but through the life-and-death struggle with many martial artists of the same realm some time ago, he faintly feels that his martial arts are insufficient.

This deficiency does not refer to technical defects such as body method and speed, but there is a problem in the fit between the martial arts path and the mind, Bai Ya feels that he does not like to use the Dao Yi method, but prefers melee combat to the flesh.

However, after thinking about it, he put aside the doubts in his heart for the time being, and asked Liu Yu when he returned to Qingcheng. I believe that Liu Yu will give a clear answer, after all, his master is also a martial artist who specializes in fists and feet, and he must have had the same confusion when he was young.

Taking advantage of his leisure, Bai Ya took out three things from the Shenyin Ring and looked at them, one was the ancestral codex that Zong Shen got from him, the other was the "Washing the Marrow Sutra" founded by the Buddhist temple of the Huayan Sect, and a piece of animal skin of unknown material was the "Three Easy Returns to Tibet Footwork" given by Zhao Wan's little girl.

The starting point of his "Washing the Marrow Sutra" is very high, and it is called Washing the Marrow, but it can only be practiced until the Washing of the Marrow is close to completion, and according to the method inside, you can enter the second major level of Qi cultivation of the hard martial arts, and the combat effectiveness after consummation can reach the innate initial level.

It is a good thing that hard skills have crossed the stage of physical cultivation, although after congenital, the martial artist can initially adjust the physical body, but the physical foundation is better, and it is also good for the martial arts to climb.

However, the disadvantages are also obvious, the Qi cultivation of Buddhism's hard work is the tendon vein, and the Taoist Qigong is in conflict. The better the hard practice of Buddhism and the more solid the physical body, the slower the progress of Taoist Qi refining.

Of course, slow is slow, and all Buddhist paths are cultivated, and there are also benefits of all Buddhist paths. Bai Ya now has a great advantage over the martial artists of the same rank, and the most important key is that he has cultivated the Mixed Yuan Iron Cloth Shirt.

Bai Ya hesitated again and again, and then selectively began to practice part of the content of the "Washing the Marrow Sutra", mainly drawing on the practice methods related to the tendons and intestines, not coveting the mixed yuan iron cloth shirt to enter the qi cultivation, but only hoping to speed up the progress of the Bodhi acupoint and the glazed vein of the dragon and tiger divine skill.

After reading the "Washing the Marrow Sutra", he looked at the animal skin that recorded the "Three Easy Returns to Tibet Footwork".

The skin was very large when spread out, more than a dozen square meters, but because it was as thin as silk, it was only a small roll when folded.

There are words and pictures on the animal skin, and it looks like it is not a rubbing, but an original cheatbook, with an outline of the exercises.

Bai Ya looked at it once, and he only felt dizzy and swollen, so he quickly put it away.

He couldn't understand it, the graphics on this animal skin were all hexagrams, and the text introduction was also in the clouds, mysterious and abnormal, and non-scholars couldn't understand it.

"This Nima is simply asking liberal arts students to take the theoretical physics exam, which is no longer something that can be achieved by hard work. Bai Ya spit out helplessly, looking at the animal skin with regret.

Although I can't understand this martial art, the effectiveness of the Sanyi Guizang footwork can still be seen.

This footwork involves the Bagua space and the orientation of the formation, which is divided into two parts, the upper and lower parts, the upper part is a small maneuvering technique, but it is only limited to the two-dimensional space, that is to say, it cannot dance in the air.

The second half is the real three-dimensional dance technique, which reflects the infinite use of the gossip of returning to Tibet, and it is even mentioned in the introduction that this martial art is practiced to the extreme, and it can achieve the teleportation effect of space folding.

In terms of utility, this footwork is very suitable for his martial arts.

Later, he became an innate martial artist, and learned powerful fist and foot martial arts such as the Red Yang Hand and the Thirty-two Styles of Descending the Dragon and Subduing the Tiger, combined with the teleportation effect of the Three Easy Returning Hiding Method......

The picture is not too beautiful, one dozen and ten at the same level, and the challenge of crossing the level is no longer a YY fantasy.

"Don't return it to Zhao Wan yet, wait until you go back and ask the master. White Cliff said a little unwillingly.

Putting away the "Three Easy Returns to Tibet Footwork", he finally looked at the ancestral codex seriously.

This codex is the essay experience of a boxing master in Baiyunguan, and most of it is about travel, mixed with some cultivation experience.

Because many of the cultivation experiences are like martial arts annotations, which require corresponding martial arts cheats to understand, it is not of much help to Bai Ya, and the content suitable for him to see is only a small part of the analysis of boxing theory.

He once learned boxing principles such as lifting weights lightly and seemingly slow and fast in the Hengshan School's "Chongli Shadowless Divine Fist".

Although boxing is not a simple martial art, nor is it a method of strength, the enhancement of combat effectiveness is obvious.

There is a saying in the Xianwu Sect that the acquired martial artist competes in martial arts, and the innate martial artist competes in martial arts. Although this statement is one-sided, it has clarified the importance of martial arts.

Martial arts are essentially the concrete manifestations of the rules of heaven and earth in martial arts, just like the laws of physics and chemistry. Only with a thorough understanding can one make better use of the tools and levers of this martial art.

Compared to the ancestors of this codex, White Cliff was just a toddler. One or two sentences of boxing theory occasionally mentioned in the codex, he also seemed to understand it, so he could only swallow the dates and write them down for the time being.

This is a kind of accumulation, when his martial arts are high and he fights more, maybe one day he will wake up and comprehend one of the boxing principles.

Time passed quietly, and it was the middle of the night when Bai Ya came to the camp, and after reading the codex for a while, the window began to be a little bright.

"Bang Bang Bang~"

Just when he felt a little sleepy and wanted to rest, the sound of a gong suddenly sounded in the camp.

Bai Ya didn't take off his clothes, so he jumped off the kang and opened the door curtain and walked out of the grass house.

"Why do you warn?" Seeing the chaotic situation of people coming and going in the camp, he hurriedly grabbed a hunter with a bow on his back, frowned and asked.

"The stockade is surrounded, it's a tide of beasts...... It's long overdue. The hunter looked at the white cliff, stamped his feet hatefully, and ran towards the wall of the stockade.

Many of these people are from Orion, and there are many people who are aware that there may be a beast tide in the wild, in fact, a few days before Zhang Erlang was in danger, there were already several old Orion Hunters who proposed to return to the city early this year to avoid danger.

However, before the appearance of the beast tide, it was also the stage when the prey was most abundant, and the person in charge of this road escort team this year was too greedy, and the others also had a fluke mentality, and finally ran into big trouble.

"What's wrong?" Zhao Wan rubbed her eyes and walked out of the grass house next door in a daze.

"Follow me!" Bai Ya pulled her up the wooden wall of the camp.

Just looking outside, his face became ugly, Zhao Wan's eyes widened instantly, and the sleepiness disappeared without a trace.

In the mist of the early morning, a hundred meters away were a pair of cold and bloody beasts, densely spread all over the wilderness, like countless light bulbs shrouded in steam, and like many phosphorus fires emerging from mass graves, looking at the people on the wooden wall of the camp without emotion.

"It's really a beast tide...... Bai Ya gasped, "Good spirits, bad spirits!"

He was afraid for a while, but fortunately he hadn't slept in the wild last night, otherwise it would have become the feces of the beast.

"At least thousands of ......"

A middle-aged hunter beside Bai Ya looked pale, his eyelids kept beating, he muttered to himself, and he grabbed the back of the longbow's palm.

"Let's go!" Bai Ya grabbed Zhao Wan and quietly got off the wooden wall.

"Where are you going?" the little girl's expression was still a little confused, and she didn't recover from the shock of the beast tide.

"Go to the back of the camp, this village is backed by a hill, and the high ground over there should not be surrounded by the beast tide, and it may be the only way to survive. Bai Ya didn't stop walking, and lowered his voice and replied.

"Aren't we staying?" Zhao Wan's eyes widened when she heard this.

"Do you want to stay and die?" Bai Ya said with a wry smile, "The camp is built with wooden walls, and it is only more than two zhang high, which can't resist the impact of so many beasts. ā€

"There are more than 100 people in the road escort team, and half of them are still martial artists, can't they be stopped?" Zhao Wan's face turned pale and muttered.

"Warriors are also people, not to mention powerful brute beasts, even if the beasts outside are all the kind of wolves they encountered yesterday, a dozen or so of them can still bite the warrior alive when they pounce together. ā€

Bai Ya sighed and said helplessly, "There are so many of them that ants can bite and kill elephants." ā€

"That'...... What about them?" Zhao Wan asked with a bitter face, pointing to the more than a dozen women and children and half-grown teenagers in the camp.

These people either came with their fathers and husbands, or they came from poor families to do some chores to supplement the family, but now they are all in a panic, and they can faintly hear the suppressed sobs coming from everywhere.

"So-and-so can't help them. Bai Ya was silent for a long time, and finally spoke, "If it were in normal times, I could have helped them block those beasts, but now I am still seriously injured, and staying is just to give the beasts a good meal for nothing." ā€

"What if this palace asks Panlong to help?" Zhao Wan rolled her eyes, and suddenly patted her chest happily and said, "Panlong can be an enemy of the power realm, and its talent and supernatural powers are also huge, plus it can be big and small, it should be able to protect everyone, right?"

"That dragon can indeed protect itself in the tide of beasts, but it is impossible to protect the camp, and once the camp is broken, people will not be able to protect it. Bai Ya thought about it, but still shook his head, "When the beast tide is surrounded, it doesn't matter if the dragon is over, but the two of us will die, let's go!"
