Chapter 22: Practice

I saw the wind whistling outside the cave, the mountain crags were very majestic, and the cranberries had disappeared into the darkness. Chen Haoran said: "This demon girl walks so fast, his martial arts are very strong." Chen Haoran said to Taishang Laojun in his body: "She is only one of the thirty-six holes, and her martial arts are already so strong, how can we be good?"

Taishang Laojun said: "Yes, with your current martial arts, you are definitely no match for any of the nine gates. Now you can only practice to improve your skills. Chen Haoran said: "Then how to practice? Besides, there is a group of martial arts heroes." Taishang Laojun said: "You put him in one place, saying that you have something important to do, and when you finish practicing, you can join them to attack the Demon Gate." Chen Haoran said: "Yes, this method is feasible. ”

So Chen Haoran came to Elder Yuanxu and said, "Everyone, I have some things to do now, so I will place you in the hotel at the bottom of the mountain, and when I finish my work, I will naturally join forces with you to attack the Demon Gate." Elder Yuanxu said, "Since the alliance leader has something important, of course we will obey the alliance leader's orders. Let's wait for the arrival of the Alliance Master at the inn at the bottom of the mountain. Chen Haoran said, "Okay." ”

So Elder Yuanxu led everyone down the mountain to stay at the inn together, and he didn't show it here. Let's talk about Chen Haoran's practice first. When Elder Yuanxu and the others left, Chen Haoran said to Taishang Laojun, "Laojun, now that they are gone, how should I practice?"

Taishang Laojun said: "Let's enter the Xuanxu Cave to practice, the monsters inside are very powerful, and they can help you improve your skills, but first, you have to familiarize yourself with the content of the Xianji God Scroll." Chen Haoran said: "Lao Jun, isn't my swordsmanship just a trick that my father doesn't have to do?

Taishang Laojun said: "You are really stupid, do you think that you can break through the demon gate with the sword moves that your father taught you? Taishang Laojun continued: "Let me tell you, my father's sword moves were all taught to him by me, and this sword move is just the most ordinary sword move in our immortal world." ”

When Chen Haoran heard this, he was stunned, and said, "Laojun, what should I do then?" Taishang Laojun said: "So now I want you to familiarize yourself with the content of the Xianji Divine Scroll, the Xianji Divine Scroll is a rare secret book in the world, after you practice it, your skills will increase greatly, and there will be benefits on the road to cultivating immortals." ”

Chen Haoran said: "I'm afraid I won't be able to learn." Taishang Laojun said: "Don't worry, with my immortal next to you, if you don't understand anything, I will teach you." Chen Haoran said: "Then thank you for your guidance." Taishang Laojun said, "Let's go into the cave quickly." So Chen Haoran entered the cave and sat down in the big hole where the cranberries were.

I saw that there was still sandalwood lit in the cave, and there was a burst of fragrance. It's really fresh and pleasant. I only heard Taishang Laojun say to Chen Haoran: "Chen Haoran, restrain your mind, look at your ears and nose, look at your nose and heart, and look at the moon in your heart." Let's take out the Fairy Scroll. So Chen Haoran followed the instructions of Taishang Laojun, looked at the nose with his ears, looked at the heart with his nose, looked at the moon with his heart, and took out the fairy Ji divine scroll from his arms.

Chen Haoran opened the first page of the Immortal Ji Divine Scroll, only to see that it was written: The Immortal Ji Divine Scroll, heaven and earth, unique, cultivators, must be clear within the five hearts, reach the Yuan Shen, and they will succeed. Chen Haoran saw this and said to Taishang Laojun: "I know the five inner Qingming, but what does it mean to reach the Yuanshen?"

Taishang Laojun said: "Tongda Yuanshen is to let your own soul float out of the body, when the soul encounters any obstacles, you can solve it, and then pass through the immortals, demons, and reach the realm of the Yuanshen." The soul will naturally return to the distance, so it is called Tongda Yuanshen. ”

Chen Haoran said: "Is it so complicated?" Taishang Laojun said: "Is this called complicated? Work hard, let's read on." Chen Haoran then opened the second page, only to see that it was written, the spirit is on the top, the fallen leaves are like a scoop of flowers flying, the body is as light as a swallow, and a strong and strong internal strength is generated in his body, but this energy is absolutely not allowed to be sent out in person.

So Chen Haoran gathered internal strength, according to the method written on the scroll, only to feel a stream of hot air from his own dantian to the major acupoints, when he swam to the Jizhong acupoint, only to feel that the heat stagnated, so Chen Haoran gathered internal strength and rushed, only to feel that there was another cold qi rushing from the shoulder well to the Jizhong acupoint.

The two strands of hot and cold energy collided with each other, making Chen Haoran's body very uncomfortable. I saw that his face was flushed, red and white, very hard. I saw that two qi energies, one hot and one cold, suddenly wandered around Chen Haoran's body. Chen Haoran was difficult to control at this time.

Chen Haoran immediately said to Taishang Laojun: "Laojun, I can't do it anymore, I'm about to go crazy, these two cold and hot energies are running around in my body, save me." Taishang Laojun said: "No, you have to comprehend the meaning of the scroll yourself." ”

When Chen Haoran thought of this, he immediately gathered his mind and closed his eyes and thought quietly. At this time, the two strong energies, one hot and one cold, seemed to be less powerful. So Chen Haoran thought to himself: The scroll said that there was a strong and strong internal energy in his body, but this energy was absolutely not allowed to be sent out in person?

Chen Haoran continued to think: But now there are two strong internal forces in my body that are conflicting with each other, so how can there be another force that cannot be sent out in person? And what does it mean that the Yuan Shen is on top, the fallen leaves are like scoops of flowers flying, and the body is as light as a swallow? No, I have to think clearly.

So Chen Haoran closed his eyes and pondered, and suddenly, he found that his soul had left his body, and his soul came to a hill in a misty way. Chen Haoran thought to himself at this time: What is this all about? Am I not practicing? Why did I suddenly come to this hill?

Just when Chen Haoran was confused, suddenly, a figure appeared on the hill and said to Chen Haoran: "Chen Haoran, you are finally here, I have been waiting for you for a long time." Chen Haoran looked at it and saw an old man with white eyebrows and white hair in front of him, wearing a Taoist robe. Chen Haoran said to the old man: "Who are you, I don't seem to know you." ”

The old man said, "I am a native of the Nebula Dao, that is, the master of the Immortal Ji Divine Scroll. You're blessed to have my scroll. Chen Haoran said: "Ah, it turns out that you are the master of the Immortal Ji Divine Scroll, but now I practice your scroll and go crazy, I don't know what to do?"

Xingyun Daoist said: "Yes, then I'll teach you, you take a deep breath, drag your left palm forward, and your right palm back a lump, and naturally have another qi in your body to help you dissolve the two forces of cold and heat in your body, you go." After the Nebula Daoist finished speaking, he waved his hand and beat Chen Haoran's soul back.

Chen Haoran seemed to be in a dream at this time, and after waking up for a while, he opened his eyes. I felt that another true qi appeared in my body, and this true qi actually suppressed the heat and cold qi by itself. Chen Haoran thought to himself: It turned out that the people of Xingyun Dao helped me, and I will thank him in the future, and I don't want to tell Taishang Laojun about this matter.

So Chen Haoran said to Taishang Laojun: "Laojun, I have cracked the strength of a cold and a hot by myself." And at this time, the Taishang Laojun in the body said: "Okay, Chen Haoran, you really have the way of cultivating immortals, and you have entered the second layer of the Immortal Ji Divine Scroll." Chen Haoran said happily: "Really? That's really good." And Taishang Laojun thought to himself: Haha, you kid has succeeded in cultivating immortals, and I can do more things in the next world.

So Taishang Laojun said to Chen Haoran: "You can read the next page quickly." Chen Haoran immediately opened the next page of the Immortal Ji God Scroll. I saw that it read: Too void fugue, falling flowers are ruthless and people are affectionate, after the ethereal nothingness, such as falling into the real space, in the real space, forming a twilight, from the real back to nothingness.

Chen Haoran said: "Taishang Laojun, I don't understand, how to teach the truth, nothingness, and the real space is ethereal?" Taishang Laojun said: "Chen Haoran, you don't use real words to understand these words, you have to use your mind to understand, you know?" Chen Haoran said: "Thoughts? ”

Chen Haoran said: "Okay, I'll use my mind to understand this text." So Chen Haoran had no distractions in his heart, and really thought about this text with his heart. I felt that the soul in my body was ethereal and free from the body, and the soul came to a place where mountains and rivers fell again, and I saw that this place was like a place of immortals. It's really like being in a fairyland.

Chen Haoran wandered in the artistic conception of this fairy mountain like a dream. Chen Haoran thought to himself: Could this be the sentence of falling into the Taixu fugue? So Chen Haoran kept walking, only to see a man and a woman appear in front of him, and he saw this pair of men and women frolicking in front.

Chen Haoran was about to step forward to watch, when suddenly, he saw the man's sword stabbed into the woman's chest, and the woman's face showed a frightened look, and said to the man: "We are so good, why do you do this?" The man said: "Why don't I do this? You actually seduce people behind my back, you say, you deserve to die." When the woman heard this, she had to close her eyes and wait for death.

When Chen Haoran saw this, he immediately stepped forward to stop it, but when he pounced on it, the man and the woman disappeared. Chen Haoran was taken aback and thought: Does this artistic conception fulfill the sentence that falling flowers are ruthless and people are affectionate? By the way, it must be like this.

So Chen Haoran calmed down and listened to his surroundings. I only heard the birds and flowers around me, sharing the past of the floating clouds, only to feel that after a period of vanity, I actually stepped into the air and fell to the ground involuntarily. Chen Haoran only felt that the wind around him was whistling, as if he had fallen into hell on earth.

When he stepped on the ground, he found that the ground was really hard, and what appeared in front of him around him was a martial arts venue full of swords and guns. I saw a man and a woman fighting each other on the competition platform, only to hear the sound of weapons colliding non-stop, and the men and women were also fighting hotly.

Chen Haoran thought to himself: Could this be the ethereal void, like falling into the real space? So Chen Haoran immediately looked at the fight between men and women in the field. I saw the man with his sword, the woman with a gun, the man shot at the woman's waist, the woman with the spear to block the sword, and shot the man with a backhand.

The man's backhand sword struck the woman in the waist again, and the man and woman fought each other, and the fight was very brilliant. At this moment, a twilight suddenly rose in the ring, and the twilight flew straight towards Chen Haoran like a fast dance. This sudden change caught Chen Haoran off guard. Chen Haoran was swept away by this twilight.

And this twilight pulled Chen Haoran from the ground into the air, only to see Chen Haoran's feet off the ground, and he couldn't help but follow the twilight to the void, only to see a colorful cloud appear in the void at this time, and this colorful cloud actually carried Chen Haoran and floated in the sky with Chen Haoran.

At this time, Chen Haoran thought to himself: Could it be that all this has been fulfilled in the real space, forming a twilight, returning from the real to nothingness? Then it is really good, I can finally understand the content of the scroll with my mind. Just as Chen Haoran was thinking about it, he only heard a loud shout, and Chen Haoran woke up from his thoughts.

At this time, Chen Haoran opened his eyes and said to Taishang Laojun: "Laojun, I finally know what you said, and I have also understood what is said in the book." Taishang Laojun said: "That's good, Chen Haoran, your qualifications are really good, and you have practiced to the point of the Immortal Ji Divine Scroll." Hurry up and open the last page of the Fairy Scroll. Taishang Laojun said: "This page is the ultimate chapter of the Immortal Ji God Scroll, and it is also the most difficult one to practice." ”

So Chen Haoran opened the last page of the Immortal Ji Divine Scroll, only to see that it was written: Divine merit is about to be accomplished, and the skill is greatly retreated. Chen Haoran said: "If the divine merit is about to be accomplished, the skill will be greatly retreated? What does this mean? Since it is said that the divine merit is about to be accomplished, it should be the skill that has been greatly improved, why is the skill greatly retreated?"

Taishang Laojun said: "So, this is the difficulty of the last one, ordinary martial arts cheats are usually in the end to achieve divine skills, great progress in skills, or want to practice divine skills, self-destruction of martial arts and so on." Taishang Laojun said: "But the fairy scroll is a treasure for hundreds of millions of years, and the gods and demons want to get it, because there is an indescribable mystery in it." And the fact that God is about to succeed and his power is greatly retreated, which is one of the characteristics. ”

Chen Haoran said: "What is the characteristic?" Taishang Laojun said: "Even after you practice the Immortal Ji Divine Scroll, your skills will regress more and more!" Chen Haoran said: "Then how can you do it? If so, how can you deal with the enemy martial arts master?" Chen Haoran was stunned and said: "And how to deal with the Purple Qi Shura Demon Skill of the enemy Demon Gate Master Yama?"

Taishang Laojun said: "This is where you are difficult to practice, practice the last one, you must have distracting thoughts in your heart, you have to think crankily, then although your skills regress, but a mechanism in your own body, will make your regressive skills form a counter-force, and when you have distracting thoughts, your counter-motivation will become stronger and stronger!"

Chen Haoran said: "You have to have distracting thoughts in your heart, but after your skill has regressed, there is a reaction force? And this reaction force is getting stronger and stronger? What kind of logic is this? I have never heard of it?" Taishang Laojun said: "Have you ever heard that people who are stupid will work very hard to learn martial arts, and their skills will improve greatly?"

Chen Haoran said: "I have heard this, as long as you will be diligent and digging, you will practice an amazing martial arts." Taishang Laojun said: "That's it, this skill has retreated greatly, and the principle of stupid practice is almost the same, you can slowly comprehend it." Chen Haoran said: "It's almost the same as practicing with a stupid person? ”

Chen Haoran said: "Stupid people practice step by step, they don't know the depth of their skills and practice diligently. "And this skill retreats greatly, that is, when I practice the Immortal Ji Divine Scroll, my skill is reduced in itself, but when the opponent's skill comes, my own skill is reduced, and I can fuse the opponent's skill. "When the opponent's power enters my body and merges with my decreasing power, it will form a force that is stronger than the opponent?"

Chen Haoran said: "And this force, is it the reaction force you said Taishang Laojun?" Taishang Laojun said: "Chen Haoran, you are really qualified and intelligent, you can understand a little, yes, you analyze it well at all." Taishang Laojun said: "But there is one thing you have to remember, when the enemy's martial arts are stronger than yours, your skill can be repelled by a great retreat, but if the opponent's martial arts are weaker than you, then it is impossible to do so." ”

Chen Haoran said: "Laojun, what should I do then?" Taishang Laojun said: "This is the power of the Xianji Divine Scroll, although it has the power to retreat, but when it encounters someone who is more powerful than himself, this move of the Xianji Divine Scroll will become very powerful." ”

Chen Haoran said: "Why?" Taishang Laojun said: "Because the other party's martial arts are weaker than yours, if you use this move, the great retreat of your skills will naturally burst out on you." "However, when the opponent slaps you, your own power will weaken, and then the opponent will knock you down. ”

Taishang Laojun said: "But because the other party is too weak, and the Immortal Ji Divine Scroll regulates the advance and retreat of the power in your body according to the strength of the other party." When the opponent's skill is too weak, then the Senji Divine Scroll will produce a powerful and explosive force to hit the opponent. "Then the other party will be caught off guard. This is the mystery of the Senhime Divine Scroll. ”

Chen Haoran said: "So that's the case, then how can I practice?" Taishang Laojun said: "Then it's up to you." Chen Haoran said, "Okay." So Chen Haoran opened his eyes, looked ahead, and surprisingly found that there was a faint true qi flowing away in his body.

I saw that the part where the true qi was wandering in his body passed through the strange meridians and veins, and it actually gathered in the dantian. And Chen Haoran was lucky, only to feel that the faint qi was gone. Just when he was unlucky, that faint energy wandered in the dantian again. It's a strange feeling.

Chen Haoran once again referred to the words of the Immortal Ji Divine Scroll, and his divine power was about to be completed, and his skill was greatly retreated. When he saw that his strength had retreated, the faint qi in his body was activated again. Chen Haoran knew that this strength was a sign of a great retreat in his skills. So he was slightly lucky, only to feel that this energy disappeared quietly.

As soon as this astonishing change appeared, Chen Haoran knew that he had already practiced his divine skills, and his skills had retreated. So Chen Haoran said to Taishang Laojun: "Laojun, I have finally practiced the Immortal Ji Divine Scroll." Taishang Laojun said, "Yes? Then I really want to congratulate you." ”
