Chapter 4: The Shining Step
The black light disappeared, and Wang Chong found himself back in Fengye Mountain, still holding the black iron short knife in his hand, and under his feet was Du Yujiang's shriveled and abnormal corpse, the sunset was shining, the twilight wind was blowing lightly, the grass and trees around him were swaying, and the insects were chirping. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Everything he had just experienced seemed to be a magical nightmare.
But Wang Chong knew that his experience in the world of the dead was real and definitely not illusory. The terrifying death chill, as well as the five tall skeleton bone demons, had been deeply engraved in his mind.
He reached into his bosom and found a small hammer and a small scroll.
Wang Chong let out a long breath, put the short knife in his hand close to his face, and looked through it carefully. The short knife was still the same as he had picked it up, its blades frayed and rusty, like a child's toy.
But Wang Chong is sure: this short knife has a great connection with the undead world full of destruction.
Moreover, he also discovered a very miraculous thing: according to his estimates, he stayed in the world of the undead for about an hour, but when he returned to Fengye Mountain, it was still the time when he had just killed Du Yujiang. That is, in the world of the dead, time stands still.
It was not early, Wang Chong didn't think much about it, found a narrow earth pit two feet deep nearby, threw Du Yujiang's body into it, and threw some huge stones to completely cover it up. As for the storage bag hanging on Du Yujiang's waist, it was taken off by Wang Chong and taken away.
The night was silent.
Wang Chong locked himself in the practice room and studied the bronze hammer carefully. To his disappointment, however, he didn't find anything out of the ordinary.
So, he took out the small and delicate golden scroll again and opened it gently.
"It's ...... Cultivating the exercises?" Wang Chong's excitement was uncontrollable.
"This golden scroll was picked up from that strange world of the undead, and it must be extraordinary. With anticipation, Wang Chong's gaze fell on the golden scroll.
The golden scroll is three feet long, and at the far right end of the scroll are the three ancient characters of "Shining Steps". Then, ten drawings were drawn in turn. Except for the first one, which depicts ten peculiar footprints, the other nine are all exercise diagrams, each with a mantra next to it.
"Shining steps?" Wang Chong knew in his heart: "This is a set of footwork!"
"The Shining Spirit, the spirit is guarded, the mind is single-minded, the heart follows the qi, and the body follows the pneumatic ......" Wang Chong recited the "Shining Spirit Step" mantra softly, and soon his mind was completely immersed in it.
"The first level of the 'Shining Steps' realm 'Thunder and Thunder', if you can practice, your body will move at will, whirl like the wind, and you will ...... ten steps in one step."
Wang Chong recited the mantra of the "Shining Spirit Step" exercise, and secretly rejoiced: "Fortunately, there were a lot of books at home back then, so I had contact with ancient Yunwen. Otherwise, even if I give this scroll, I won't be able to cultivate......"
At this moment, Wang Chong was engrossed and crazy, silently reciting the mantra of "Shining Steps", over and over again.
It wasn't until he had recited it thirty times and made sure that the mantra had been deeply engraved in his mind and would never forget it again, that he rolled up the golden scroll and put it in his bosom......
"This set of 'Shining Spirit Steps' is extremely wonderful, once you practice to the first level, even if you encounter a master of the Cave Spirit Stage, you can face the enemy head-on!" Through the recitation just now, Wang Chong had a preliminary understanding of the "Shining Spirit Step", and immediately made a decision: "From today on, while I am practicing the 'Spirit Flying Sutra', I will also step up my cultivation of the 'Shining Spirit Step'. ”
"Lingfei Sutra" is the basic technique of the Jiuyun Sect, which talks about how to cultivate the true and practice qi, and the role is to improve the spiritual power cultivation, and each sect can get a copy. From the first day he entered the Nine Fortune Sect, Wang Chong did not slack off for a moment and began to cultivate the "Spirit Flying Sutra".
With a plan in mind, Wang Chong drew ten seemingly messy footprints on the bluestone floor with candles according to the appearance of the first picture of the golden scroll. Then, standing at the first footprint, he used his own internal force to follow the qi method of the first layer of the "Shining Step" mantra, and took a gentle step.
Wang Chong had just started the cultivation of the "Spirit Flying Sutra", and he didn't have any spiritual power in his body, so he had to use his internal force to run the first layer of the "Shining Spirit Step" exercise mantra. But fortunately, there is no clear requirement in the "Shining Steps" exercise mantra - to perform this set of footwork, it must be urged by spiritual power.
But what is incredible is that from the first footprint to the second footprint, it seems to be simple and one step away, and when he steps according to the footwork mantra, he immediately feels his blood rushing upwards, his mind roars, and then his body staggers to the ground.
"This 'Shining Step' is really unusual, I am using my internal force with all my strength, but I can't even take a step!" Wang Chong was not only irritable and discouraged, but more determined in his heart. How can a truly powerful exercise be so easy to practice?
Fall, get up!
Fall down again, get up again!
Wang Chong kept trying, while silently figuring out the footwork formula.
Two hours passed, Wang Chong repeatedly fell 1,347 times, his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and he was covered with dust, but he still couldn't take the first step, and each time he didn't take half of his steps, his center of gravity was unstable and he fell to the ground.
At this moment, Wang Chong was exhausted and bruised, so he had to stop the cultivation of the "Shining Spirit Step".
After relaxing his mind for a while, Wang Chong sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, put his tongue against the roof of his mouth, adjusted his breathing, emptied his mind, eliminated distracting thoughts, slowly lifted his hands to the dantian, formed a meridian mudra, filled the void and breathed, contemplated the dantian, and concentrated his mind in accordance with the meridian lines stipulated in the "Lingfei Sutra" mantra......
One Sunday, two Sundays, three Sundays......
Repeat the cycle ......
The next day, Wang Chong went to Fengye Mountain to dig herbs during the day. From nightfall to midnight, concentrate on cultivating the first layer of the "Shining Steps". This time, he fell down 1,569 times over and over again.
Since childhood, he has practiced the "Lingfei Sutra".
On the third day, Wang Chong practiced the "Shining Spirit Step", and fell 1,841 times repeatedly, although there was no obvious progress, but the comprehension of the first layer of the "Shining Spirit Step" deepened, and it seemed that the feeling of the roar of the mind had been reduced.
This progress has significantly increased Wang Chong's confidence in practicing the Shining Spirit Step......
In this way, when he came back from collecting medicine every day, Wang Chong practiced the "Shining Spirit Step" diligently while insisting on practicing the "Spirit Flying Sutra".
On the nineteenth day, although Wang Chong still couldn't step from the first footprint to the second footprint of the "Shining Spirit Step", during the practice, his qi and blood began to become calm, and he gradually lost his discomfort, and finally stopped falling to the ground.
On the thirty-first day, Wang Chong finished collecting medicine, handed in the task of the sect, and immediately returned to his residence, drilled into the practice room, and began to practice the "Shining Spirit Step".
This time, Wang Chong tried the first layer of the "Shining Spirit Step" "Thunder Flash" more than 2,300 times, and every time he took a step according to the mantra of the exercises, a powerful invisible pressure suddenly appeared, violently impacting his mind and movements, making his body's center of gravity unstable and unable to take a step forward.
"The two thousand four hundred and one!" Wang Chong silently noted the number of times he failed.
Suddenly, a strange and cold feeling of qi flowed out from the Yongquan point on the sole of Wang Chong's feet, and in an instant, it followed the meridians of his legs, through the calf ground machine point, the Ququan point on the inside of the knee, and reached the condyle bone point of the thigh, his legs suddenly felt light, his body turned into a phantom, and his right foot landed firmly on the second footprint three feet away.
The corners of Wang Chong's mouth lifted a faint smile: "It's done!" "Shining Spirit Step" The first level of the realm - a flash of thunder!"
As soon as his mind moved, the phantom reappeared, and Wang Chong's body returned to the place where the first footprint was.
"Come again!" Wang Chong's figure turned into a phantom again, overlapping and overlapping, as if it was constantly changing back and forth, and as if it had not moved.
After a while, Wang Chong stopped moving, the phantom disappeared, and his heart was excited: "This Shining Spirit Step is so powerful! In one breath, you can go back and forth more than ten times between the first footprint and the second footprint!"
And this is only the first level of the Shining Spirit Step, when I cultivate to the ninth layer of the realm, how powerful will it be? Wang Chong was looking forward to it in his heart.
Holding back his excitement, Wang Chong rehearsed the "Thunder Flash" over and over again thousands of times, until his body was exhausted and his legs felt sore, and then he stopped.
