Volume 1: Wind Rises in the Mountains and Swamps Chapter 63: Hidden Spirit Technique
Lin Yi stood on the spot, as relaxed as when he spoke just now.
"Junior brother, are you ready?" Shen Ding came to Lin Yi and hesitated for a moment.
With a hum, Lin nodded to indicate that he was standing still.
Shen Ding didn't know how to be polite, so he stretched out his right hand and pushed Lin Yi's shoulder. He still had strength in his hands, and he just wanted to push Junior Brother Lin to stumble, and that would mean he won.
Unexpectedly, before his palm touched Lin Yi's shoulder, Shen Ding's eyes blurred and his wrist was grabbed by the other party. He struggled to free himself, but his wrist seemed to be wearing an iron band, unable to move. I tried hard on my hands, but the iron hoop remained the same.
Shen Ding felt something was wrong. Lin Yi's hand was not big. He couldn't hold his wrist tightly. Why was it like an iron hoop?
Unconvinced, he no longer had any strength left in his left hand and wanted to break open Lin Yi's palm. Unexpectedly, his left hand was not spared either. It also got into the iron hoop and was held tightly by the opponent's other hand.
Shen Ding's face turned red.
Lin was a head shorter than him, but his thin body was as stable as a rock. These hands are like iron hoops, and as strong as copper poured into iron, tightly binding his wrists.
Shen Ding's stubborn temper rose, his eyes widened, and he roared again and again.
He exerted great force on his back, veins popped out on his forehead, and the muscles in his arms kept twisting. Within a moment, sweat dripped down his face. But there was no sign of his wrist being able to break free.
Wen Lun and Hu Wan looked at the two of them with twitching eyes.
Lin Yi looked relaxed, with a smile on his face. He held Shen Ding's wrist with both hands and held it in place without moving.
Shen Ding twisted his body and cracked his teeth with an extremely funny expression, but Hu Wan and Wen Lun couldn't laugh at all. This Shen Ding would never put on a show for people to watch, but Lin Yi was even more terrifying than putting on a show.
Hu and Wan's martial arts were mediocre, so it didn't matter if they couldn't defeat Lin Yi. The two of them didn't feel ashamed. There are many martial arts masters in the inner sect who are sixteen or seventeen years old. But to restrain Shen Ding while talking and laughing is like an adult bullying a child with a yellow mouth. How much strength does it take?
The two of them were inexplicably surprised. At this time, Shen Ding was even more embarrassed than he was before. Hu Wan and Wen Lun were secretly glad that they were now on good terms with Lin Yi!
"Senior Brother Shen, I let go -" Lin reminded Shen Ding loudly when he saw that Shen Ding was really unbearable and couldn't bear to be teased. When he saw the other party raising his head, he loosened his grip.
Unexpectedly, Shen Ding couldn't stop his strength, and his feet thumped backwards. I was anxious, and the more I wanted to stop, the faster I retreated.
Upon seeing this, Lin moved his feet, following him like a shadow, tightened his hands, firmly grasped Shen Ding's arms, and said gently: "Senior Brother Shen, stand still."
Shen Ding finally calmed down from the shock and stood firm. Lin Yi had already let go of his arms and was looking at him with a smile.
Shen Ding wiped his sweat, stared at Lin Yi for a long time, and muttered with amusement: "I...I believe it!"
"Haha, Senior Brother Shen is quite strong." Lin Yi chuckled.
"Both junior brothers are brave and powerful, hehe!" Wen Lun and Hu Wan also came to their senses and echoed.
"Brother Pi is here, are you okay?" Lin Yi walked past the three of them and smiled at the courtyard gate. The three of them turned around and saw Butler Pi walking over.
"You are all here, what are you doing, so happy?" Butler Pi looked at the others with suspicion.
"I was just joking and having fun. I didn't do anything." Hu Wan chuckled.
"Old Pi, what's the happy news? Look how happy you are!" Wen Lun joked when he saw that Deacon Pi was looking good.
The few people got along well with each other, which was better than anything else. Lin Yi's arrival made Deacon Pi feel a lot more relaxed and his mood naturally improved.
Deacon Pi smiled at the three of them and said, "I've brought you the money for this month's examination. Come back and get your fingerprints done." As he said this, he took out a few pieces of silver.
"Two taels of silver per person per month. When Lin first came, I was afraid that you would need it, so I gave it to you in advance."
The four people hurriedly thanked him and took the money.
Deacon Pi said to Lin Yi again: "There is a small market outside the mountain gate. You can buy some daily necessities. It's quite convenient. You have time to go and have a look."
…
Jiulong Mountain in autumn is as beautiful as ever. In the quiet night, in the carriage and horse courtyard of the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall of the Foreign Affairs Hall, the chirping of autumn insects and the sound of horses galloping are full of life and interest.
Lin Yi sat on the bed and slowly opened his eyes. After doing the exercises every day, the body will be full of energy and sleep will be unnecessary. He took out the broken silver that Deacon Lipi had given him during the day and put it on the couch. This guy is an ordinary outer disciple, but his income in money is not comparable to that of an ordinary guy. Twenty taels of silver is enough for a normal person's daily expenses for two or three months. But now, he is no longer as embarrassed as when he followed his master. Coupled with the lack of appetite for food and drink, he did not eat or drink for three to five days and did not feel hungry.
Is this the unworldly fireworks? If it were Master Xuanyuan’s cultivation level, he would have the demeanor of an immortal only after fasting away from the valley!
Immortal cultivators absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to nourish their internal organs, and their bodies form their own heaven and earth, which is fundamentally different from secular people. This worldly money is of little use to you. But I can't live without it. I have some money, maybe it will be useful some time.
Lin Yi touched his chest, and his Qiankun bag was hung around his neck like a treasure. The black-robed old man's Qiankun bag hangs on his waist, which is convenient to use. But if I can’t do it myself, it’s better to hide the Qiankun Bag.
With a move of his hand, a small pile of money appeared on the couch. The silver ingots was a gift from Yuan Fengming, and some of the silver in pieces was left over from the original.
There is another money bag? Lin Yi grabbed the money bag and remembered that it was the harvest from killing the pirate on the bank of Qinshui River. At that time, he put it into the Qiankun bag and threw it behind his mind.
He turned the money bag over and poured out the contents. As expected, there were some scattered silver. With a finger, the money bag floated up and a ball of fire ignited. It flashed and turned into flying ash and disappeared. These small spells are not often used, but they are also skillful.
Lin Yi was about to put the silver away, but his eyebrows moved. He reached out and took something from the broken silver that had just been poured out and looked at it carefully.
Lin Yi turned the things in his hand left and right.
This seemed to be a piece of tortoise shell, slightly smaller than the palm of the hand. The shell was worn and the edges were missing. The texture was white and soaked with a few strands of earth yellow. It seemed that the shell was very old.
Lin Yi was curious and rubbed the shell on his hand, and he felt a little bumpy. He raised the armor plate to his eyes and used his eyesight to see that on the white tortoise shell, there were raised words that looked like writings, which were very blurry and difficult to distinguish.
What on earth is this? Lin Yi pondered secretly. He drew out his spiritual consciousness to wrap around the tortoise shell and slowly soaked it.
There was nothing strange in the tortoise shell, but there were about dozens of ancient characters engraved on the armor plate. It should be because of wear and tear, and the depth was different. But the texture of the knife carving was still there. In the spiritual consciousness, the handwriting was vaguely discernible.
The handwriting was damaged, so Lin Yi had to compare it up and down and left and right repeatedly before he arranged dozens of words, and then read them word by word. The first three words were Gui Lingyin, and those words formed a sentence, which seemed to be a formula, and could be made up into six complete sentences, but the latter was missing.
Lin Yi widened his eyes. What is this? A martial arts secret book or something else? It should not be a waste if it was collected by the pirates in the purse. But if it is a treasure secret book, it cannot be carried with silver like this.
Lin Yi rolled his eyes. Yes, I remember Mr. Su said that this is an ancient character. This font is not recognized by ordinary people. Could it be that the pirates accidentally obtained it, but it was difficult to distinguish it, and they couldn't bear to throw it away, so they put it in their purse?
But what does the "Turtle Spirit Hidden" on the tortoise shell mean? Is it just an ordinary antique?
Lin Yi was a little discouraged, so he wanted to put away the armor and ignore it. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration came to his mind, as if he had discovered something again, and he hurriedly read the text again.
After a long time, Lin Yi concluded that the text behind it was the formula. After all, in the past few years, in the process of cultivation, Lin Yi was most familiar with various formulas. In secular martial arts, there is the art of turtle breathing. After entering into meditation, the immortal cultivators practice the way of fetal breathing. And what is the meaning of the formula behind "Turtle Spirit Hidden"?
After a little contemplation, Lin Yi made up his mind. Although there are only six sentences in the formula, he will try to figure it out. It is better to practice it in person than to think about it. It must be no harm to oneself.
Lin Yi sat in meditation for more than an hour, his eyes flickered, his heart felt something, his lips moved, and he recited the formula.
Soon, Lin Yi was thinking a little, his consciousness left his body, and he checked himself.
A layer of hidden light was constantly moving around his body. As the formula of "Turtle Spirit Hidden" was recited, the light on his body faded away, as if it was there and not there.
This situation made Lin Yi's eyes show joy. Then he concentrated his mind again and carefully experienced the meaning of the formula. After a while, he recited the formula again. I saw the light of the spiritual energy on his body tremble, like ripples fading layer by layer, until it disappeared without a trace.
Haha! Lin Yi could no longer hold back his joy and let out a long breath. Sure enough, this "Turtle Spirit Hidden" was just as he guessed. When Lin Yi saw the three words "Turtle Spirit Hidden", he thought of the turtle breathing method in the rivers and lakes. Although he didn't know the secret of the method, he had heard his master mention it in his early years. Turtle Breath is a method of internal breathing for those with high martial arts skills. Imitating the slow and long breath of the black turtle, it reduces self-consumption and makes the vitality internal. This method can enhance the cultivation of internal strength and prolong life. What's more amazing is that it can hide one's own breath to avoid the detection of the enemy.
Therefore, Lin Yi studied the formula according to this, hoping to converge the fluctuation of spiritual energy. Although the formula is incomplete, there is the formula of the Xuantian Shield and the method of mobilizing spiritual energy in the Xuantian Heart Method. Whether this Turtle Spirit Hidden is as you think in your heart, you can only try it yourself.
When Lin Yi recited the formula for the first time, he used his spiritual consciousness to look at himself. The light on his body really changed. He was surprised and felt regretful that the formula was incomplete. After trying again, when reciting the formula of Turtle Spirit Hidden, he did not forget to mobilize the spiritual energy and condense it into the sea of qi. The formula stimulated the spiritual energy, and the spiritual energy was mobilized with the spiritual consciousness, gradually gathering from the limbs and bones, and gathering into the sea of qi.
After this, Lin Yi looked at himself with his consciousness and could no longer see the fluctuation of spiritual energy on his body. His aura was just like that of an ordinary person.
Lin Yi's face showed a faint smile. Although he didn't know where this Turtle Spirit Hidden came from and what was so magical about it. But after he pieced it together, it became a spell to hide his own spiritual energy fluctuations.
This method is a bit unorthodox. The turtle breath hides the breath. It can be used by people in the world, but Lin Yi can't. And this modified 'Turtle Spirit Hidden' hides the spiritual energy, which is his exclusive skill.
Before, he was worried that his identity would be discovered by the Supreme Elder of the Tianlong Sect. Now, the stone in his heart has fallen.
The master said that people follow the earth, the earth follows the sky, the sky follows the Tao, and the Tao follows nature! Haha, does this pieced-together spell count as the law of nature?
The unexpected surprise made Lin Yi very pleased.
Cultivation is also a kind of loneliness, a loneliness that no one shares. And the joy of harvest is the best reward! Lin Yi at this moment is also the Lin Yi who reveals his true nature and is unrestrained.
This "guilingyin" is too unpleasant to hear, and this spell is a pieced-together creation, so it will be called "yinlingshu" from now on.
