Chapter 33: Survival in Death
With the idea of burying Ding Yu, Lu Zhongyuan turned around, but unexpectedly found a thick fog rising from the river. He hurried to the river to take a closer look, and saw Ding Yu lying quietly at the bottom of the river, waist-deep, while the river around him bubbled up in large bubbles, rising to the surface of the river and turning into steam, turning into a thick fog that he had seen before, as if it had been boiled before. At this time, Lu Zhongyuan had already guessed that Ding Yu was probably not dead, but that something had changed in his exercises, but after thinking about it, he still decided to fish him up, otherwise he would stay under the water and not be able to breathe, and he would be suffocated for a while.
However, as soon as he stepped into the water, as if he was alarmed by the water waves he stirred, Ding Yu suddenly broke open his eyes, slapped his palms at the bottom of the river, and the whole rose into the air, falling on the river beach, and the mist on his body was steaming, like a column. The light in his eyes flashed, and he saluted to the stunned Lu Zhongyuan: "Thank you Lu Daxia for your success!"
Time went back a few minutes ago, and the true power in Ding Yu's body was under the pressure of Lu Zhongyuan's internal force, and the temperature was getting higher and higher. He suddenly remembered the description of the seventh layer of the wedding dress: the true fire is atomized and scattered in the texture, and after a hundred days of calcination, the divine body is completed.
The vast majority of internal cultivation in the world follows the process of "refining and refining qi and condensing qi into liquid". This is because the container of the human body has an upper limit after all, and once it reaches the upper limit, if you want to hold more true qi, you can only keep compressing the internal force, increasing the density, and finally compressing the gaseous internal force into a liquid internal force.
But the wedding dress magic has found a different way, and the true fire internal force formed at the beginning is the circulating fire liquid, and after all the meridians are opened by the fire liquid, it is the sixth layer of great perfection. After that, it is necessary to increase the heat of the true fire, so that the fire liquid transpires and dissolves into mist, which diffuses from the meridians to the muscles, bones, and internal organs, and uses this hot mist to forge a strong body. When you reach the eighth layer of consummation, no matter the limbs, muscles, viscera, and internal force of the true fire in the body, you can swim away without hindrance, and reach the unity of human fire and fire, so you can send and receive it freely, and even the suction power of Mingyu's divine achievements cannot be shaken.
For ordinary people who practice the magic of wedding clothes, because the strength of the meridians is not enough, the internal force of the true fire constantly destroys and repairs them, so when the meridians of the whole body are opened, that is, when the sixth layer is completed (if it has not been hurt to death), a large amount of fire liquid has already traveled outside the meridians, once the internal force of the true fire reaches a certain heat, this part of the free fire liquid will naturally transpire and turn into fog, and the level from the sixth layer to the seventh layer will be passed gently and skillfully.
However, for Ding Yu, the strength of his meridians is far beyond ordinary people, and the fire liquid cultivated by the wedding dress god skill has not caused any damage to the meridians, and naturally there is no fire liquid to free into the musculoskeletal, so it is extremely difficult for him to pass this level. Of course, if enough time is given to gradually increase the heat of the true fire to the limit, then the fire liquid in the meridians can still dissipate the mist, but it will take three or five years, or ten or eight years, it is unknown.
Now under the pressure of Lu Zhongyuan's majestic internal force, Ding Yu's true fire liquid is like being in a pressure cooker, and the heat is rapidly increasing. Although Ding Yu didn't know the reason, he keenly felt that this was an opportunity for him to break through. Therefore, in the end, he even gave up resistance completely, allowing the heat to reach its limit under the pressure of external forces, and finally erupted, and the fire liquid turned into fog.
Under normal circumstances, the process of atomization is gradual, which is why there is only "calcination for 100 days", and Ding Yu uses external force, all internal forces are atomized at the same time, and the difference between the former is like a sauna and a steamed bun. Even his flesh couldn't bear it. Fortunately, he chose the river beach as a gladiatorial arena before, and at this time, he fell into the river and used the river water to discharge the fire mist, which saved his life.
Although he successfully broke through the level and greatly increased his strength, his physical state at this time was really worrying: Lu Zhongyuan's fist was not a horse killing a chicken, not to mention breaking his ten bones, and the moment the liquid of true fire violently turned into fog, it burned a large part of his muscles to maturity by two or three, not to mention the destruction of the meridians.
"Frankly speaking," Ding Yu smiled, "thanks to this competition, the poor monk's skill was able to break through the barrier." According to this, the poor monk can be regarded as inheriting the love of Lu Daxia, and he really does not want to continue to fight for life and death. However, this gambling battle must have a result, and the poor monk has a proposal, I don't know if Lu Daxia will accept it. ”
Lu Zhongyuan had already recovered from his shock at this time, and he smiled and said, "You might as well listen to it." ”
Ding Yu pointed to the two wetland pines by the river and said, "I heard that the ancients had a gambling fight of three whips for two maces, so we might as well follow suit." These two pine trees are similar in size and thickness, we will each choose one to strike, and only one punch will be made, and whoever has the stronger punch will be the winner, how?"
Lu Zhongyuan thought about it and actually agreed. Ding Yu said: "Since this is the case, Lu Daxia will ask first." ”
Lu Zhong walked to a tree in the distance, stared for a long time, and suddenly hit the tree with a triple hammer. Hearing a soft pop, the pine tree did not move at all, but when Lu Zhongyuan's fist was retracted, the bark and wood at the middle fist fell like rain, revealing a hollow the size of a noodle jar in a blink of an eye. Lu Zhong was far from satisfied, but after the fierce fight, he was able to do this, and it was almost the same. So he stepped aside and let Ding Yu make a move.
Ding Yu walked slowly forward, while secretly accumulating strength, and when he walked in front of the tree, he threw a punch without stopping. The body of the tree was also unshaky, but there was a fist-sized hole that ran through the front and back, and there were slight burn marks on the cave wall.
If it is a different person, I am afraid that I will have to be entangled, such as "You see that I made a bigger hole than you, of course I won." What, don't you believe it? Come on, let's pick up the fallen sawdust and weigh it, it's best to go back to Nangong's house and say that their family's weighing is ......" or "My pine tree is facing the sun, and yours is facing the shade, so my tree is strong and your tree is soft." Don't you believe it? Let's go to Nangong's house and find a botanist to take a look, they have a big company, and they have ...... talents."
However, Lu Zhongyuan looked at it for a long time, and said with a little loss: "I am defeated." He was well aware that the damage he had caused seemed to be greater, but the power was scattered, and Ding Yu's fist seemed to have only pierced a hole, but it was much more penetrating than his. If he and Ding Yu exchanged punches, most of his fist power would be offset by Ding Yu's body protection power, but Ding Yu's fist strength could penetrate the body protection strength, and most of it would be used in the viscera - I really didn't expect it, but in the blink of an eye, the situation of strength and weakness had been reversed.
He was a neat and neat person, and since he had admitted defeat, he would not be entangled again, turned around and picked up his long sword, and left against the way he came. Ding Yu looked at his Xiao Suo's back, didn't know whether to comfort him or want to be angry with him, and said loudly: "Actually, just now, I only had one blow left!"
Lu Zhongyuan paused, and threw down five words without looking back: "Actually, so am I." ”
