Chapter 36: The Treasure of the Underground Palace
The Emei Sword Sect is one of the seven great sword sects today, and it is more than a step stronger than the Luofu Sword Sect that was destroyed by Ding Yu. However, according to the description in the original book, the head of the Emei faction, Shen Xi Daochang, seems to be still under the evil gambler Xuanyuan Sanguang, that is to say, he is a strong person among first-class masters. A martial arts master at this level doesn't have much pressure on Ding Yu anymore.
He first inquired in the town at the foot of Mount Emei, and it turned out that in the six hundred miles of Mount Emei, there were several temples of the God of Wealth, but there was only one near the gate of the Emei faction, which was dedicated to the Black Tiger Zhao Xuantan. When Ding Yu heard this, he felt that nineteen was here. So he spent money to hire a local guide and took him to the temple to put on three incense sticks, in fact, in order to remember the way up the mountain. After going down the mountain, he bought dry grain and water, and when it was dark, he carried a dead wind lamp and followed the mountain road back to the temple.
This small temple has only a lonely room, at the end of which is a statue of Zhao Gongming, in front of which there is an offering table with flowers and fruits and two oil lamps, and then there is a three-legged incense burner, which is full of incense ashes, and there are several futons on the ground for people to kneel and worship. Other than that, there were no other furnishings, and there were no monks' vigils.
Ding Yu walked around the outside, and after confirming that there was no one inside or outside, he dodged into the temple. There were no stars and no moon this night, and the night was dark, and by the light of a bean on the ever-bright lamp, he lay on the ground and knocked here and there, and finally found two gaps of about half an inch at the pedestal under the idol. He rejoiced in his heart, and with a pry of his finger into the crevice, a two-foot-square stone slab was flipped open, revealing the swarthy passage below. Although this door is a little smaller for him, there is no obstacle to making a bone shrinking skill.
After entering the trapdoor, he casually closed the stone slab and lit the air death lamp again, only to see hundreds of stairs all the way down, ending outside a wooden door. There were no switches or handles outside the door, so Ding Yu had to smash the wooden door into pieces with a single punch, revealing an empty octagonal hall. In the center of the hall are seven winches made of gold, silver, copper, iron, tin, stone, and wood, corresponding to seven walls made of the same material on the eight sides, except for one earthen wall that is not controlled by a winch.
Ding Yu remembered that the back of the earthen wall was connected to the reservoir or the bottom of the river, anyway, as soon as he pulled the hanging ring on the earthen wall, the earthen wall would be opened, and the dungeon would be flooded with water. Behind the other seven walls are: the gold wall - gold and silver jewelry, the silver wall - the bedroom, the bronze wall - the magic weapon, the iron wall - the martial arts training ground, the tin wall - the highly toxic drugs, the stone wall - the corpses of the construction palace workers are piled up, and the wooden wall is needless to say, where Ding Yu entered.
"What a good place!" Ding Yu couldn't help but praise after walking around, "It's just that there are too many dead people." ”
Indeed, in addition to the hall, there was at least one dead person in each room, and there was even a dead lion behind the tin wall, which must have been Ouyang Ting's war pet back then. Fortunately, there are many hidden ventilation holes in this underground palace, so that the bacteria and viruses that have been fermenting for many years will not turn this place into a gas chamber. In the end, Ding Yu still settled down in the hall and prepared to start his work.
Sangong is broadly divided into two categories: violent and non-violent. Violent dispersal of gong is to suffer extremely serious internal injuries, just like Ding Yu's dantian was shattered by Ouyang Feng, resulting in the exhaustion of his skills. Non-violent dispersal means that although the power is gone, the body will not be hurt too much, and the foundation is still there. This is the same as practicing, each internal skill has a specific way. A complete advanced exercise, in addition to the detailed practice method and the description of the level realm, should also include the way to disperse the gong safely. For example, this is the case with the dragon elephant Prajna Gong that Ding Yu inherited from Master Basang.
At that time, the earliest Daqimen should have a complete wedding dress magic skill, but somehow lost the method of scattering the gong, resulting in the later wedding dress magic skill becoming a pit father gong that can only be transferred to others, so the Daqimen simply spread the incomplete wedding dress magic to frame its opponents.
And what Ding Yu got at this time, of course, will not be a complete version, and there is no way to disperse the gong safely, but he has an expert in absorbing internal force - the soul seed.
Long before this trip, Ding Yu communicated with the soul seed and asked if it could help him disperse his strength by absorbing internal force. The soul seed calculated for a moment, thinking that the energy gained from this move was far more than it was paid, so it readily agreed. However, it also warned Ding Yu that even if he sucked it carefully, Ding Yu would have a weak period of about ten days after that. Ding Yu was overjoyed at the time, this side effect was as gentle as water compared to the scattered gong damage of the Dragon Elephant Panruogong, so he decided on the spot this trip.
Sure enough, the soul seed's energy absorption this time was completely different from before, Ding Yu felt as if a powerful vacuum cleaner had been turned on in his brain, and the internal forces in the sea of qi, meridians, and even musculoskeletal surged towards his brain, constantly disappearing into unknown places. His whole body began to become weaker and weaker, and finally he couldn't hold it anymore and collapsed on the ground.
I don't know if it's Ding Yu's illusion, but there seems to be a faint sense of satisfaction in the plain voice of the soul seed, and it says: "All the host's true power has been absorbed, and there is no damage to the meridians and acupoints. It is estimated that there will be a 10-day period of debilitation, and it is recommended to take tonic medication to shorten this date. ”
"I still need you to say it!" Ding Yu said angrily, reluctantly raised his hand, lifted a porcelain bottle from his side, and poured out a pill and swallowed it tremblingly. At this time, Nan Pingjun prescribed him the prescription, but the medicine was prepared by him on the way here.
In about half an hour, the medicinal power turned into a faint warm current, bringing some strength to Ding Yu. He exhaled, sat up on his knees, and resumed the first layer of the wedding dress.
Three months passed quickly. During this period of time, in addition to cultivating internal strength, Ding Yu also found out the secret books of the Five Uniques of Heaven and Earth.
The completed version of the Five Absolute Cheats only has a yellowed juan book, which is contained in Ouyang Ting's bedroom. But in the martial arts training ground behind the iron wall, there are quite a few other juan books. These are all the summaries and experiences of each of the five peers on their own martial arts before the integration of the completed version of the cheats, which can be called semi-finished products. But for Ding Yu, the value of these semi-finished products is by no means below the cheats of the finished version.
He spent a lot of time poring through each notebook. From these semi-finished products, we can reproduce the martial arts attainments of the five unique worlds at that time, and then compare the martial arts in the finished cheats, it is not difficult to reverse the idea of integrating the cheats.
Ding Yu constantly simulates and deduces the process of fighting with the Five Masters of Heaven and Earth in his mind; sometimes he will figure out the idea of evolution based on his own martial arts knowledge, and think about whether this is the best way for certain martial arts to be fused together?
The Five Absolute Secret Book is no less than the Nine Yin and Nine Yang Secret Book of Divine Skills, and with those experience notes, it is just like Ding Yu was watching the whole process when Huang Sheng was writing the Nine Yin True Scripture, and Huang Sheng continued to discuss with him, why the internal force here should run like this, and why this punch should be played from this angle. As you can imagine, the gains are huge.
If the previous Ding Yu was only amazingly powerful, then when he finished digesting the Five Absolute Cheats, he would truly have the background of a martial arts master.
