Chapter 464: One Blow
(I want to hear more of your voices, I want to receive more of your suggestions, search for the WeChat public account "ddxiaoshuo" now and pay attention to it, and give more support to "The Legend of the Immortals"!) cocooned himself and made a ten-year appointment in a daze, Chen Haoran was deflated, full of taste, and he was still sullen after several days.
Xia Qingyan was also quite trustworthy, and he didn't take the initiative to come to him in the past few days. One night, Chen Haoran secretly went to the grove to take a look, and when he saw her, he sat on the ground in the woods, without any anxiety, and waited for about half an hour before leaving.
Chen Haoran muttered: "This poisonous woman is really patient, you can wait if you like, anyway, the initiative is in the hands of Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu comes to raid every once in a while, I don't believe you can really persevere." "Thinking again is just a formation, even if it is taught to her in the end, it is not a big deal, why worry about asking for trouble?
Thinking about it like this, his heart calmed down, and after he went back, he continued to cultivate as always, as if this had never happened.
After a few more days, it suddenly began to rain heavily that night, and it did not stop until the appointed hour. Chen Haoran went to the forest again to take a look, and found that Xia Qingyan ignored the storm and rain, still waiting peacefully, and this time he waited longer than last time, and left quietly after nearly an hour.
"Grandma's, this poisonous woman is rain or shine, but she is like a girl who will be a lover, but it's a pity that you met Lao Tzu, a negative man, and you are waiting for the poisonous girl to change her husband's stone. Chen Haoran took advantage of it in his stomach, but he secretly had some admiration in his heart.
The second night was still stormy, Chen Haoran ran to take a look again, but saw that Xia Qingyan still waited for nearly an hour.
On the third day, the rain cleared, and in the evening, the sky was covered with a last quarter moon. With Xia Qingyan's persistence, you don't have to think about it. Chen Haoran didn't want to go again, but when the time came, he somehow ran to see it again.
Sure enough. Xia Qingyan was still waiting, but she only waited for half an hour this night before leaving.
Chen Haoran was so strange that he couldn't help but stand up from the shadows and call her to stop. asked: "Hey, Xia Xiaoniu, do you have something wrong with your head, why do you wait longer when it's windy and rainy than when the weather is good?"
Xia Qingyan was not surprised by his snooping, and said lightly: "I think you may delay when the weather conditions are bad, so just wait a little longer." What, what's wrong?"
Chen Haoran glared at her for a long moment, waved his hand and said, "There's nothing wrong." Well, it's late today, come back another day. ”
Xia Qingyan didn't move at all. Nodding slightly, he turned away without saying a word.
Oh my god, this poisonous girl is cool enough. Chen Haoran stared at the slender back that was quite lonely in the night, and a strong impulse suddenly surged in his heart, wanting to go up and unveil her to see if her face was so cold that there was a layer of frost. shouted, "Wait. ”
Xia Qingyan turned around and said, "What?"
Chen Haoran touched his chin and said, "It's not much, I just suddenly want to talk to you, are you interested?"
Xia Qingyan thought about it for a moment. He walked back and said, "I'm not very free and can't stay long." What do you want to talk about?"
Chen Haoran said curiously: "You wait here every day." You say you're not free, what are you going to do?"
Xia Qingyan glared at him angrily and said, "Practice." I lost a lot of time here every day, so I naturally had to make up for it. ”
Chen Haoran snorted, scratched his head and asked, "What else do you usually do besides cultivating?"
Xia Qingyan said succinctly: "It's still cultivation." ”
Oh yes. Could this poisonous girl be a practice maniac? Chen Haoran had almost nothing to say, thinking that it was better to talk to herself to a stone or a tree than to chat with her. If it was another person, Chen Haoran would have already turned around and left, but somehow, he was extremely interested in this Xia Qingyan. As if there was something in her body that strongly attracted her, she asked again: "In that case, why do you spend so much time learning a formation technique, even if you learn it, it may not be of much use, isn't it better to use it for practice?"
Even through a layer of black veil, he could clearly see a cold light flashing in Xia Qingyan's eyes, and said coldly: "I am naturally useful." ”
The more she showed an indifference that rejected people thousands of miles away, the more Chen Haoran wanted to be stubborn, and grinned: "Xia Xiaoniu, don't need to be so unkind, although we can't be called friends, but we are acquaintances after all." If there is anything to say, maybe I will change my mind after listening to it, and I will teach you this 'Hundred Turns and Thousand Returns Formation' as soon as possible, so that you will not waste so much time practicing in vain." ”
This sentence was quite effective, Xia Qingyan moved, stared at him and said, "You will have such a good heart? I wanted your life from the beginning, and maybe I will make a move in the future, do you have a little defense against me?"
Chen Haoran said nonchalantly: "I'm not worried about myself, what are you worried about? ”
For Xia Qingyan, this is indeed the case. She stared at Chen Haoran tightly for a long time, and she couldn't guess what he was thinking, so she couldn't help but ask directly: "You proposed it for ten years, and the original intention was to make me retreat from the difficulty, why are you doing it now?" Give me a reason." ”
Chen Haoran has always acted according to his personal likes and dislikes and moods, how can he care about whether it is unreasonable or unreasonable? Shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'm happy." Do you believe it?"
Xia Qingyan thought for a while, nodded and said, "I believe in you." He added, "Because you're not like a normal person." ”
Unlike a normal person, in other words, he is not a normal person. Xia Qingyan thought that Chen Haoran would turn his face in anger, but he laughed: "Ha, no wonder I look at you very pleasing to the eye, it turns out that Xia Xiaoniu, you are mine...... Well, half a confidant. ”
Xia Qingyan was stunned, thinking that this guy was really not normal. Hummed, "It doesn't hurt to tell you." When I was still in infancy, my parents died unexpectedly, and they were killed by a master of the formation of a great sect of cultivation, and if I want to get revenge, of course I must be proficient in this way. Not to mention ten years, it is thirty years and fifty years, as long as I can learn the art of arranging and casting spells, I will not hesitate to spend more time. ”
So that's the case, this poisonous girl's life experience is quite miserable, and if she wants to seek justice for Su'er, she wants to take revenge on He Yicheng, the master of Tianze Peak, who has already reached the Yuan Shen stage, and the difficulties are by no means less than Xia Qingyan. The two can be regarded as sympathetic to each other. Di Xiaoshi pondered, shook his head and said: "Your formation foundation is too poor, you can't even use some superficial transformation methods, even if you learn to set up seven or eight formations, you only know it but don't know why, and you want to rely on this little ability to fight with people in formations." It's almost the same to die. ”
Xia Qingyan didn't know about this? she was speechless, even if she couldn't see her expression, you could imagine how gloomy her expression was at the moment. After half a ring, she raised her head slightly, looked at the quiet lower quarter moon on the sky, and said coldly: "If I can't avenge this blood sea of deep revenge, what's the point of me living in the world?"
This poisonous girl is more extreme than Lao Tzu, Chen Haoran shook his head again. A thought suddenly appeared in his heart, and he said with a smile: "I don't plan to teach this 'Hundred Turns and Thousand Returns' for the time being, but if you want to teach it on a whim one day, you won't be able to learn it for a while, and then it's really a headache." In this case, I will teach you a little bit of fur first, so as not to be crammed for a while. But I also have conditions. It's up to you to want it or not. ”
Xia Qingyan was so smart that when he heard the words, he knew that he was going to systematically teach himself the key to the formation from scratch. I couldn't help but be surprised and stunned, and I fixed on him and said, "What conditions?"
Chen Haoran touched his chin and said, "Of course it's your method of poisoning, I learned it and promised not to pass it on to others, how about it?"
In mind, such a requirement is not demanding. Xia Qingyan fell silent. His hands clenched into fists unconsciously, clearly struggling inwardly. After a long time, she said slowly but resolutely: "Poison skill is my master's secret skill, and I must not pass it on to others for my own personal gain." ”
Chen Haoran said disapprerovingly: "I said Xia Niu'er, you are too dead-eyed, and it is not a big deal to exchange skills with each other." Isn't there any room for negotiation?"
Xia Qingyan was silent for a moment, and then said: "I can teach you the method of poisoning, but the secret of poison refining can't be done no matter what, this is my maximum limit." ”
Chen Haoran scratched his head and said: "Alas, seeing that you still have a little sincerity, I will suffer a little loss, and reluctantly make a deal." ”
For cultivators, poison gong and formation are both secret techniques with their own strengths, but in comparison, the latter is more powerful than the former in all aspects, not to mention, the most important thing about poison gong is its unique refining secret recipe, and the skill of casting is secondary. Xia Qingyan originally didn't have extravagant hopes, but seeing that Chen Haoran readily agreed without saying a word, she couldn't help but be surprised, and was stunned for a moment before she said softly: "Thank you." ”
The intention of the two was reached, and at that moment, Xia Qingyan first explained some techniques for Chen Haoran to use poison skills.
I don't know if I don't listen, I was shocked when I heard it, before that, Chen Haoran never thought that the methods and methods of poisoning would be so strange and incredible, and he greatly gained some knowledge.
In general, poisoning requires a medium, and the level of skill can be divided into three levels.
At the lowest level, it is natural to poison food and drinking water, or weapons and objects in advance, so that they can come into contact with the receptor, so that the toxicity can be transmitted into the victim's body in the esophagus and blood. At this level, being able to spread poison in the air and harm people is considered a great skill.
Intermediate poison application techniques do not need to be poisoned in advance, and can be cast when needed, and can be transmitted through various substances and channels such as metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Chen Haoran fell for Xia Qingyan's plot last time, and almost suffered a big loss, and the medium of poison transmission was the soil.
And the top method of poisoning can really be said to kill people invisibly, and the poisoned person cannot even realize how he is victimized. For example, a breeze, the shadow of any object, the light reflected by a mirror, can be used to transmit poison, and the horror of it is really unimaginable.
Chen Haoran was stunned to hear it, and sighed in admiration: "Grandma, playing with drugs to this point, you have to worry when you see ghosts." ”
Xia Qingyan wrote lightly: "Actually, this is not the highest level of poison magic. According to the secret books of my master, through the moonlight, sunlight, various sounds, and even a look, you can kill people thousands of miles away, anytime, anywhere, this is the ultimate magic power of poisoning. ”
Oh, this is too exaggerated, Chen Haoran was dumbfounded: "Really fake?"
Xia Qingyan said faintly: "The ancestor of my master, Tianzong Genius, has practiced the supreme supernatural power with the moon as the medium, and everyone everywhere he goes is awe-inspiring, but it is a pity that after he cultivates the Great Dao, no one in this sect can reach this realm." Moreover, because the poisonous power of this door is too powerful. The various factions in the cultivation world were very jealous, and as soon as the ancestor ascended to the heavenly realm, they united and adopted all kinds of despicable means to suppress and exterminate them with all their uses, causing the sect to ...... from then on."
Speaking of which. She was suddenly alert, and changed the topic: "The poison application technique lies in correctly driving the true yuan force, and I will pass on the mental method mantra of your qi." ”
The so-called art has specialization, and each skill has its own uniqueness. Although the Heavenly Ancestor was well versed in the formation method and had a weapon thaumaturgy, he had no special knack in the use of True Yuan Force, and the flexible changes in the subtleties during operation were not as good as the magic techniques taught by Xia Qingyan.
Chen Haoran tried to run the mixed element force in his body according to the law, and immediately found out, and couldn't help but feel a little happy in his heart. pondered: "Who said that good people are not rewarded, it is still very beneficial to do it once or twice once in a while." ”
Xia Qingyan's sect is called the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect, and two thousand years ago, it can be said that it was famous for poison on the Taichao Divine Continent, and everyone changed color when they heard it. As a result, his disciples were arrogant and arrogant, offended countless people in the cultivation world, and finally committed public anger, and various factions joined forces to seek revenge. After a big battle, the Ten Thousand Poison Sect suffered heavy casualties. It was almost wiped out, and since then it has been slumping and withering. Up to now, I can only shrink in the sparsely populated deep mountains and old forests to survive, barely maintaining a pillar of incense.
The secret technique of refining poisons in the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect is unparalleled in the world, and this method of poisoning is also extremely unique, which can be called a stunt. It's just since the ascension of the grandfather. Few disciples in the sect can practice to the advanced stage of poison technique, and over time, the Ten Thousand Poison Sect is not very concerned about this auxiliary technique of the heart method, and it is only with Chen Haoran that Chen Haoran has the opportunity to practice this heart method.
Xia Qingyan said: "This battle qi trick can drive the true yuan force to do whatever he wants. According to legend, it is the first stage of the mind method of the immortal Buddha in the heavenly realm to cultivate the incarnation of the great supernatural power outside the body, and I don't know if it is true or not. ”
After urging the mixed element force to run twice, Chen Haoran found out the trick and felt more and more that it was infinitely useful. Qu Zhi flicked an invisible qi out, as far as his mind went, this finger wind was split in two in the middle, only to hear the sound of "snorting" twice, and a small branch more than ten meters away was broken into three parts. Chen Haoran said happily: "Ha, now I'm not afraid to fight with that guy Chu Daxia, I'll go to him in a few days to compare and see how angry he is in front of the uncle?"
He was full of spirit, and he kicked and kicked several qi in a row, hitting the branches and leaves in the forest in all directions, and suddenly realized when he was proud, and pondered: "In fact, poison and true yuan power are both a kind of energy, but the form of expression is different, if you can really cultivate this battle qi to the highest level, you can indeed kill people thousands of miles away...... In the future, Lao Tzu has practiced, if you see who is unhappy, wouldn't you be able to poke him into a big hole with a glare? Ha, haha, hahaha. ”
After daydreaming happily for a while, Chen Haoran said to Xia Qingyan: "Xia Xiaoniu, this method is very good, I can also be regarded as a little light from you, so I will teach you an additional spirit gathering array, so as to make up for the usual delayed work." ”
The Gathering Spirit Array can make cultivation twice as effective with half the effort, and its importance and preciousness to cultivators are self-evident, and no one who is not a master or apprentice or a close relative will never teach it to others. Xia Qingyan never expected that Chen Haoran would teach this formation to himself first, and the surprise and shock in his heart were indescribable, and he was stunned for a moment before he spit out in a low voice: "Thank you." ”
Time is like water, passing quickly, and it is early summer in a blink of an eye.
On the evening of this day, Chen Haoran finished his cultivation and came to the wild grove as usual to continue teaching Xia Qingyan's formation.
In fact, because of the time relationship, Tiangong Ancestor only gave Chen Haoran a rough pointer at the beginning, and in the process of teaching Xia Qingyan, Chen Haoran was actually equivalent to learning and cultivating systematically, and he benefited more.
The way of the formation technique is too broad and profound, and the inner grand principle is as vast as a sea of smoke, even if a cultivator has a long life after cultivating the Yuan Shen, and exhausts his life's strength, it is impossible to integrate all of them, at most he can only understand the essence of some aspects.
Formations are divided according to their functions, which can be mainly divided into single functions such as concealment, confusion, isolation, collection, absorption, strengthening, and dissemination.
In addition to the Spirit Gathering Array, Chen Haoran did not pass on Xia Qingyan's other formation techniques, only taught her those basic knowledge, and then arranged the entire grove into a relatively complex Five Elements Yin and Yang Array. First, it was left to Xia Qingyan to learn and experience on his own, and second, to prevent outsiders from entering, so that he could have a quiet place to practice.
Some time ago, some farmers and woodcutters inadvertently broke in, and they were all trapped in the formation, usually staying for a whole day. It wasn't until Chen Haoran withdrew the position prohibition that he could get out of trouble. After such a series of times, the people near and far were afraid, and they all said that this was a forest of lost souls, and there must be evil things in it, and no one dared to enter the forest again.
Di Xia and the two were immersed in the vast and profound formation world, and each devoted himself to studying and cultivating. Unconsciously, the eastern sky revealed a faint white, and it was already dawn.
Chen Haoran stretched his waist and didn't greet Xia Qingyan, just about to return home, there was a sudden chaotic sound outside the forest. One man tried his best to suppress his voice and said, "It's about to dawn, let's go into the woods and rest! ”
Chen Haoran listened attentively and found that there were more than ten people outside, all of whom were heavy and slow. It is likely that after a long journey, they all entered the forest silently, and their actions were very sneaky.
Xia Qingyan was also shocked, and glanced at Chen Haoran, both of whom couldn't help but be curious, and sneaked over to see who it was.
The group of people who came were both men, women, and children, supporting each other, and everyone was in the dust. The clothes are quite ragged, and it looks like a flower child. And he looked extremely tired. The expression is panicked, but it seems to be a group of displaced refugees.
In the past few years, the wind and rain in Dachu have been smooth and peaceful, and there have been no droughts and floods, Chen Haoran was wondering where these people came from, Xia Qingyan whispered beside him: "They should be refugees who fled from the country of Ukraine." ”
Chen Haoran suddenly realized. The Ukrainian civil war has been raging for several months, and the whole territory is full of bloodshed. The people were so devastated by the war that they had no choice but to flee their homeland and seek refuge in neighboring countries. However, in order to avoid state disputes, no country is willing to accept these refugees. All of them sent troops to block the main traffic routes and set up checkpoints to block them.
Dachu borders the country of Ukraine, and is extremely rich and powerful, so it is naturally the first choice for refugees, and the tide is generally coming. While the vast majority were stopped at the border between the two countries, a few managed to cross the border, and these people were clearly among the lucky ones.
The light in the forest was dim, and the terrain was difficult to argue, and the group walked cautiously, and one of them suddenly tripped over a vine, and could not help but scream, which sounded very harsh in the silence of the forest. When everyone heard the sound and changed color, they hurriedly stopped, looked around in panic, and after a good moment, they saw that there was nothing unusual around, and then they each exuded a breath of air, and their expressions were panicked like a flock of frightened birds.
It was a teenager who stumbled, and at this time he got up tremblingly, and a slightly chubby man raised his hand angrily, wanting to slap him, but he was afraid of making a bigger noise, so he lowered his arms and scolded: "Jingfu, you are too careless, this is not far from the town, we have worked hard to escape here, in case people find out, report to the Great Chu Mansion, it is bound to be all sent back, don't you all have to burden you with this little brute?"
The young man was also extremely frightened and blamed himself, and whispered: "Yes, the child knows his mistake, please punish his father." ”
The man was still angry, and scolded in a deep voice, and the young man did not dare to defend, but bowed his head and was reprimanded.
A woman behind them who was in her prime persuaded at this time: "Mr. Lu, everyone is very tired and tired after trekking through mountains and rivers all day, so Ling Lang didn't mean to stumble, so don't be too harsh on Mr. Lu." ”
The young woman was beautiful and dignified. Although she traveled day and night all the way, she still maintained a fairly neat appearance, and her demeanor was not undevoid of elegance, and Mr. Lu seemed to have a lot of respect for her, so he stopped making a noise when he heard the words. Everyone walked forward to the middle of the woods, that is, on a small piece of empty land where Chen Haoran and Xia Qingyan usually met, sat down everywhere, took out dry food from the package, and devoured the water.
At this time, the sky is getting brighter, and the eastern sky is already covered with pink morning glow. Chen Haoran saw that these people were indeed ordinary people of the Ukrainian country who had fled, and secretly thought in his heart that these were all poor people, so he might as well let them stay here for a day to recover their strength, and come early in the evening to disarm the formation and let them continue to flee.
After informing Xia Qingyan, Chen Haoran was just about to leave, and among the crowd, there was a six or seven-year-old girl who seemed to be choking on food in a hurry, and suddenly coughed wildly. It was the beautiful woman who took care of the little girl, and she hurried to pat her on the back and help her to get her right.
The little girl coughed more and more, and couldn't stop it, and suddenly vomited a mouthful of bloody phlegm, and collapsed to the ground softly, and the violent coughing stopped.
The woman was so frightened that her face was as white as paper, and she couldn't care much more, so she picked her up and cried out, "What's wrong with you, Qin'er, don't scare me." ”
The little girl's face was yellow, her cheeks were faintly white, her whole body was as soft as a puddle of mud, and she couldn't even hold up her neck, and said weakly: "Aunt Yun, I feel so tired, so tired, my heart is as uncomfortable as a fire, and I don't have any strength." ”
The woman's Aunt Yun reached out and touched the little girl's forehead, only to feel that it was hot and hot, and she was startled. The little girl moaned again: "Aunt Yun, I'll be fine after a rest, don't leave me, take me to my father and mother, okay?"
Aunt Yun's tears couldn't help but burst out of her eyes and fell into the little girl's neck, she hurriedly wiped them away, and comforted with a forced smile: "Qin'er, don't be afraid, my aunt won't leave you alone, you can sleep well first." ”
The little girl barely showed a smile, slowly closing her eyes, and she didn't know whether she was asleep or in a coma. Among the companions, Mr. Na Lu's father and son and another clear-faced old man saw this and hurriedly got up to visit.
The old man was the oldest of all, in his sixties, but his steps were steady and red-faced, and he was more energetic than the others. He seemed to have medical skills, lifted the little girl's eyelids and looked at it, his expression became solemn, and he put two fingers on her wrists, closed his eyes and took the pulse.
Xia Qingyan stared at it, the cultivator's eyesight was countless times sharper than ordinary people, even if it was far away, he could easily see the little girl's situation, and suddenly said: "This girl is in danger, these people may not be good." ”
Chen Haoran was surprised: "What?"
Xia Qingyan said: "This girl's face is red and white, blue and yellow, there are burnt sores on the corners of her lips, coughing and hemoptysis accompanied by high fever, the symptoms are clearly acute blood boils, and she will definitely die in less than three days." Moreover, this blood boil is a hot poison evil, its nature is rapid, the disease is sinister and changeable, and it is extremely contagious, and close contact with her will be stained with boils, even if the infected person is very strong, he will die of attacks for several months. ”
Chen Haoran was shocked when he heard this, and praised: "You can see at a glance that the little girl has a strange disease, and she knows so many famous halls, but she is three points more powerful than a miracle doctor." ”
"The vulgar doctor in the mortal world dares to call himself a god?"
Xia Qingyan was cold, and said: "No matter what germs and plague miasma in heaven and earth, they are originally toxins, if I can't even see this, wouldn't it be in vain to practice poison skills for so many years?"
Chen Haoran came to his senses and said, "So that's the case, then can you cure this girl?"
Xia Qingyan snorted coldly and turned his head sideways, but ignored it. Chen Haoran turned his mind around before he realized that those who are good at poisoning are naturally good at detoxification, so do you still need to ask? Scratching his head and said: "Xia Xiaoniu, you are too careful, I just said it casually, but I didn't mean to underestimate you." ”
Xia Qingyan looked back and said, "Do you want me to save that girl?"
Chen Haoran nodded and said, "This little girl is quite miserable, since you have met her, you can save her by the way." ”
It is already a deep-rooted concept that cultivators naturally have a sense of superiority in front of people in the world, and they have always disdained to fold and hand over their subordinates. Xia Qingyan didn't expect Chen Haoran to be so nosy, enthusiastic about helping an ordinary little girl who was not related to him, glanced at him in surprise, and said, "If it's just to save your life, you can do it, why do you need me to help?"
Chen Haoran said curiously: "I can't heal my injuries, how can I save them?"
Xia Qingyan shook his head and explained: "The Qi Trick can be poisoned, and of course it can also be pulled out. However, if you want to treat the girl's damaged heart and lungs, you need to take symptomatic drugs. ”
Chen Haoran suddenly realized, and laughed at himself: "Grandma, others don't learn and don't have skills, and Lao Tzu can't learn either."
