Chapter 19 Mystery
Shi Xuan repeatedly tried to figure it out, and from various information it was basically certain that the innate realm of Shattered Void was indeed the Qi-entraining stage in cultivation, but how could this realm be ascended? Not to mention that there was no such thing as ascension in this big world in ancient times. This level of cultivation is still far away from that of a Golden elixir master, so what can I do to ascend?
In recent hundreds of years, there are records or rumors of innate masters (Qi-entraining stage) who all broke into the void when they broke through to this realm, without exception. From this point of view, either the rules of this world have changed, or it is better to say "receiving and guiding". Who specifically can sense people who have broken through to the entraining stage on a large scale, and then pick them up, and who For what purpose, it is unknown.
Shi Xuan sighed slightly. After traveling around the world, if he still can't find any traces of the Taoist sect or get any information, he still has to break through to the entrainment stage. No matter who or what situation he faces after "ascension", it will be better than living here. It's good to survive. After all, in the first three levels of Baolu, I have the foundation of Xu Laodao's teachings and can understand the cultivation very well. However, starting from the Qi-entraining stage, I can't understand a lot of content, including some terminology, and The meaning of some sentences, terms and sentences in cultivation often contain multiple meanings. If you misunderstood a layer or misunderstood a certain term, it's okay if there is no big problem. If there is a big problem, who can you cry to?
In addition, I lack the most basic knowledge in all aspects of weapon refining, alchemy, and formations, so I have to go to a cultivation environment to seek advice from others or read classics.
He Dahai and He Yuqing stood beside Shi Xuan and did not dare to move. Although they wanted to take a look at the contents of the "Book of Immortality", seeing Shi Xuan thinking about the problem without opening the secret book, they did not dare to urge him, but they were secretly anxious. .
Shi Xuan quickly came to his senses, casually opened the secret book on his body, and read it quickly, only briefly browsing it. Judging from this secret book and some of the secret books collected by Xu Laodao that I have read before, after martial arts develops into the subtle realm (out-of-body stage), bottlenecks begin to appear. Shi Xuan knew why. It was because the martial arts secret books lacked training content directly targeting the soul. Although there was indirect enhancement, it was still not enough. Starting from entering the subtle realm, the different effects of physical and soul cultivation began to appear, and there was no cultivation of the physical body alone. There is no method to cultivate the soul (Shi Xuan is not clear about this, but it is only mentioned briefly in the treasure record), so the growth of cultivation is slow.
In the "Book of Immortality", there are methods for soul cultivation, which are the eight qi diagrams on the last few pages of the secret book. They have weird postures, require the spiritual platform to be clear, and have some other strange requirements, but in Shi Xuan's view, this is A very superficial soul cultivation method. Although it is superficial, it does not prevent the "Book of Immortality" from becoming a peerless secret book in martial arts that can be used to achieve the realm of breaking the void. It also makes it a secret book that is difficult to get started in practice.
"The Book of Immortality" has very few useful parts for Shi Xuan. At most, there are some subtle moves and the luck-damaging qi path in the secret palm technique "Pailing Cloud Palm". He can remember it just by looking at it, so Shi Xuan also Not planning to take it away, he said to He Dahai who was beside him: "Mr. He, escort chief, could you please go and untie Mr. Liang's acupuncture points?"
He Dahai said happily: "I am willing to serve senior." Then he went to Liang Shenglou.
"Senior, I wonder if there is anything else you want us to do?" He Yuqing asked Shi Xuandao with some respect, some fear, and some flattery after seeing his father walk away.
Shi Xuan shook his head and said: "There is nothing else to do. In fact, you don't have to stand by my side. Some of my friends were injured before. It's better to go to the fire to rest."
He Yuqing motioned for everyone else to go back to his fire, while he stood still waiting for his father to come back. In fact, he was still very uneasy in his heart. What he saw and heard today was far more shocking than the previous twenty years of his life. The emotions are intertwined and difficult to describe.
The two bodyguard leaders and the remaining six or seven bodyguards and escorts slowly walked back to the fire. Seeing that Shi Xuan was not paying attention, they couldn't help but start whispering.
"He Biaotou, what do you think this senior is? His martial arts skills are really frightening."
"You don't need to ask Mr. He. I think my senior is practicing Zen Buddhism. If you don't look at that, tsk, tsk, no one will believe me if I tell you. They think I'm dreaming."
"Zhang Laosan, you're a damn golden bell. Don't you see that my senior is dressed as a Taoist priest? How could he be one of those bald donkeys from Zen Buddhism?"
"Li Mazi, come on, come on, come on, tell me what kind of skill it was to make it bounce back like that."
"Maybe it's some secret martial arts from the Xuanwu sect. I think their sect is the most powerful among the Taoist priests."
"Okay, don't make random guesses. If the seniors won't be happy when the time comes, okay?" He Xiangshan smoothed things over.
Everyone immediately fell silent, but after a while they began to sigh in a low voice: "If I had the martial arts skills of my predecessors, there would be three great fairies in the martial arts world, and there would be many beautiful chivalrous women, hehe."
"I don't know if Senior will accept a disciple."
…………
He Dahai spent a lot of effort and a long time to unlock the acupuncture points that Liang Shenglou was hit. After all, his martial arts were far different from Gao Wenqi's. Then he pinched someone and woke up Liang Shenglou.
Liang Shenglou was seriously injured. Not to mention the various knife and sword wounds he had suffered before, the two swords from Gao Wenqi alone made him very uncomfortable. Although these two swords were mainly used to pierce acupoints, the internal force attached to the swords had already ruptured many of his meridians. Now he was in unbearable pain, and his dream of revenge was shattered, and his mind seemed a little unclear. At this time, he sat up and looked at He Dahai, not knowing the situation. He was in a trance for a while before saying, "Who are you?" He had seen He Dahai before, but he didn't recognize him.
"I am He Dahai, Taoist Senior, please come over to have a chat with Senior Liang, please!" He Dahai still said respectfully.
Because Liang Shenglou was unconscious before, he didn't know what happened later. At this time, he followed He Dahai in a daze and walked towards Shixuan. He paused and saw Cao Chuyu's body. He was surprised and sad. He had known Lao Si for more than 20 years, but in the end they fought with swords. Now he is not dead yet, but Lao Si has become a corpse. Life is unpredictable.
After walking a few steps forward, he saw Peng Tianxiao's body again. Liang Shenglou went from being suspicious to being frightened. He didn't know who had done this.
When He Dahai in front of him moved aside, Liang Shenglou saw a young Taoist priest in a black robe sitting cross-legged by the fire peacefully. He was a person he had never taken seriously before. And he had never heard of such a person in the world.
Liang Shenglou bowed and said, "Master, I wonder what you want to see me for?"
Shi Xuan smiled and said, "Mr. Liang is too polite. I just want to ask you a few things. Please sit down."
Liang Shenglou still didn't trust Shi Xuan very much, and just said, "I'd better stand and talk."
Shi Xuan raised the "Eternal Life Treasure Book" in front of him, shook it twice, and said, "I don't know where Mr. Liang got this secret book, and whether there are any words left by Guangyang Sanren, or some other relics?" Shi Xuan would not miss this opportunity to collect information about the person who broke the void.
Seeing the long-desired secret book that belonged to him before in Shi Xuan's hands, Liang Shenglou thought that his dream of revenge was shattered, but now there was hope in front of him. An evil thought suddenly rose in his heart, and his already dazed mind became even more unclear. He just kept shouting back and forth, take it back! Take it back!
In addition, Liang Shenglou did not see or hear Shi Xuan killing Gao Wenqi and the other two. He only thought that Shi Xuan's strength was just that of an ordinary master of the subtle realm, or maybe even worse. After all, he did not see Gao Wenqi's body, and it was very likely that he escaped. If he took the secret book while the other party was not paying attention, and then found a chance to escape into the rain, he would have a great chance to repeat Gao Wenqi's success.
His head was fuzzy, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it would work. This might be the last chance God gave him after suffering so many hardships. He often heard the storyteller talk about "fighting for the secret of heaven". Indeed, how could there be a chance if he did not fight for it? If he let it go, his state of mind and martial arts would definitely regress in the future. Liang Shenglou made up his mind and spoke slowly: "Guangyang Sanren..."
Shi Xuan saw Liang Shenglou was silent for a while and didn't answer. When he saw his hands trembling slightly, his alertness was raised to a higher level. When he heard Liang Shenglou finally speak slowly, he was already on full alert. Even if he didn't have any evil intentions, he should be prepared for any eventuality.
As Liang Shenglou spoke slowly, he suddenly kicked at the fire and then rushed towards Shi Xuan. But as soon as he kicked out, he saw a pair of fists with slender fingers hit his ankle fiercely. He was already seriously injured and his body protection was almost gone. He felt a pain in his ankle and it was shattered. His figure that rushed towards Shi Xuan was also pulled to one side. Although he was not conscious, he still had experience. He tapped the ground with one foot and circled around like a loach, and then punched Shi Xuan with both fists fearlessly.
Shi Xuan had already discovered from the punch that Liang Shenglou was seriously injured, and his martial arts skills were only one tenth of what they were. Seeing that Liang Shenglou was going to attack again, he stepped forward steadily, raised his energy and used Earth Dragon to shake the earth, from top to bottom, hitting Liang Shenglou's fists directly, causing Liang Shenglou's fists to be torn and his bones to break.
Liang Shenglou was in pain and took a step back in a frenzy, but he forgot that his other leg was broken, and immediately fell to the right, and then felt a chill on his right ribs, and a long sword pierced his chest. He looked to the right unwillingly, and saw a beautiful girl standing there nervously, with a long sword in her hand. When she saw him looking, she quickly threw away the long sword and jumped several steps.
Shi Xuan originally only intended to subdue Liang Shenglou, as he still had questions to interrogate him. As for He Yuqing, who was holding a sword and nervously wandering around the sidelines, that was completely under his control. But when he saw Liang Shenglou falling towards the tip of He Yuqing's sword, it was too late to shout "show mercy".
