Chapter 3 Visitors from Heaven
Zhao Shi came to the foot of "Stepping on Immortal Mountain" with a stick of incense, at this time he was carrying a large bucket of water in his left and right hands, and he was wearing several large iron rings on his arms, calves, and thighs.
Zhao Shi looked at the towering mountain in front of him, took a deep breath, and carried two buckets of water up the mountain, the mountain path was winding and bumpy, but Zhao Shi walked steadily, and the water in the bucket was not half spilled. In this hand, few of my peers can do it.
An hour passed, and Zhao Shi had already entered the mountainside at this time, and the mountain road began to become more difficult to walk. Zhao Shi's forehead began to sweat, and he paused for a moment before continuing to walk upward.
The steeper the road goes up the mountain, the more difficult it is to walk, and now Zhao Shi is sweating profusely, and the water in the bucket is less than one-third. Zhao Shi looked at the top of the mountain and there were still a lot of roads, he was not discouraged, gritted his teeth and continued to go up.
Towards noon, Zhao Shi finally reached the top of the mountain, he looked at the height of the sun and then at the rest of the water in his bucket and smiled happily.
For five months, Zhao Shi has been carrying water up the mountain every day, rain or shine. Finally, the emperor lived up to his painstaking efforts, Zhao Shi could only reach the top of the mountain at three or four o'clock in the afternoon from the beginning, and now he was able to climb to the top of the mountain before noon and the two buckets of water were still half, and the achievements were not small, but the hardships and pains experienced in it were only deeply experienced by himself.
"Grunt" There was a burst of sound in his stomach, as if he was complaining to Zhao Shi why he hadn't eaten yet. Zhao Shi touched his stomach and smiled, and then took out two big steamed buns from his arms, and he drank the water in the bucket while nibbling on the steamed buns.
The breeze from the top of the mountain caressed him, and the soft sun warmed him. At this moment, this situation made Zhao Shi temporarily abandon his troubles.
After a full meal, Zhao Shi began to practice "Thousand Pulses Qigong" after a short rest. This exercise can be known from the name alone, opening up the eight veins of the body's strange meridians to increase internal force as much as possible.
The method of increasing the internal force is basically the same, which is to increase the internal force by opening up the meridians, but the methods used are different. There is a big difference in the improvement of internal force after different exercises open the meridians, and the internal force improved by some top exercises through the meridians is even several times more than that of some non-flow exercises.
"Ren pulse and Chong pulse have been opened, and the belt pulse has begun to show signs of loosening, presumably if you persist like this for a month, you may be able to open up the belt pulse, and then you should be able to reach the fourth layer of internal strength. According to the records in the book, as long as you open up the Du Mai, your own internal strength can be greatly improved, and the 'Thousand Pulse Qigong' can truly show its power and domineering, I don't know when it will reach this realm. ”
After opening up the Du Mai, he raised his eyebrows and exhaled, which surprised the whole family, so that his position in the family was very important, and his mother could be buried in the mausoleum of the clan, and he would never feel lonely again.
Zhao Shi's mother was originally a second-class slave beside Zhao Shi's father. The two didn't know when they fell in love, and when the love was deep, Zhao Shi's father desperately stopped Zhao Shi's mother from taking Zhao Shi's mother as a concubine.
After this difficulty, I thought that I would be able to go smoothly and be happy in the future, but after Zhao Shi was born, some terrifying and terrible things began to appear one after another at home, and all the fingers pointed at Zhao Shi's mother, saying that she was the reincarnation of a demon and would kill everyone in the Zhao family, which even the famous Wizard Fan confirmed to be true.
Zhao Shi's mother ended up predictably, she was burned alive with fire. When he was alive, he had no corresponding name, and even the bones of the dead were casually buried in a wilderness.
All this was said by an old slave who had been with Zhao Shi's mother for a long time, and since then Zhao Shi has changed as a person, bent on becoming stronger, finding out the murderer who framed his mother, so as to give his mother a justice and a proper name.
The internal force in Zhao Shiyi's body quickly swam in the Ren pulse and the chong pulse, the surging internal force gathered more and more, and every punch and palm was magnificent, and the strong wind within one meter around the body was gusting, dusty, flying sand and gravel.
When the sun was setting and the sky was getting dark, Zhao Shi was ready to go down the mountain to go home. Suddenly, he felt the air around him tighten, and then he found that his body could not move, not even his fingers, but his mind was very clear.
It all came so suddenly that he didn't even have time to feel the horror. He tried to mobilize the internal force, but the internal force in his body did not seem to react at all. Just as he was worrying about what to do, a pitch-black vortex with a diameter of seven or eight meters suddenly appeared three or four meters in front of him.
Zhao Shi was dumbfounded, he had never seen such a vision in his life. The vortex appeared out of thin air, suddenly and without warning.
This reminded Zhao Shi of the rumors that everyone said on weekdays, and there were often rumors of immortals haunting "Stepping on Immortal Mountain". It seems that this is true, Zhao Shi couldn't help but think of it in his mind.
After about half a minute, the whirlpool began to rise and contract, and at this time, a figure flew out of it, Zhao Shi was startled, could it be that the immortal came out.
I saw that this figure came out of the whirlpool and fell directly to the ground with a "bang", Zhao Shi broke out in a cold sweat, is this an immortal?
After this figure came out of the whirlpool, the whirlpool gradually became smaller until it disappeared, and when the whirlpool disappeared completely, Zhao Shi found that his fingers could move, and after a while, his whole body became conscious.
He moved his body and immediately ran to the man not far in front of him. After a closer look, I found that this person was not much different from himself, but there was a difference in dress.
"Why is your hair so short? This dress is really strange, and the shoes, what kind of fabric is it made of?" Zhao Shi said to himself while looking at the person in front of him.
In the end, he couldn't help but be curious, so Zhao Shi touched it with his finger. It doesn't matter if this touch is made, as soon as Zhao Shi touches it, the person immediately shuddered involuntarily.
"This is really evil, it's better to hurry up. Zhao Shi thought so in his heart, and ran back desperately with his legs spread.
Back at his residence, Zhao Shi was shocked, because when he touched that person, a terrifying ghost suddenly flashed in his mind.
In the middle of the night, Zhao Shi couldn't sleep from tossing and turning, and he kept thinking about that person in his mind. Is he a god? or a demon?
Entangled by these doubts, it was difficult to sleep, Zhao Shi simply got up, put on his clothes and walked to "Stepping on Immortal Mountain".
In less than an hour, Zhao Shi arrived at the place where the person was lying in the evening, and sure enough, as he thought, the person was still lying in the previous position.
Zhao Shi touched him with a small branch first, and when he found that there was nothing unusual, he carefully touched it again with his hand. This time, Zhao Shi didn't shiver, and the picture of the demon didn't appear in his mind.
