Like a fish in a river plunging into a frozen lake, the pleasure of swimming along the water is gone, replaced by an extremely oppressive feeling of restraint.
In a few breaths, a strong wind swept in, almost blowing off the curtain on Jiang Yichen's head.
For a moment, a strong wind blew around his back, as if there were two invisible hands pushing him.
Jiang Yichen felt this way, and so did the yellow-maned horse under his crotch.
The yellow-maned horse took a few steps forward involuntarily.
The further forward, the stronger the push from behind becomes, and the air becomes thinner and thinner.
One person and one horse seemed to have fallen into a whirlpool in the sea and were being pulled toward the center of danger.
Feeling that the yellow-maned horse was trembling but unable to do anything about it, Jiang Yichen was so angry that he easily broke through the strong wind and broke through the countercurrent. He pulled the reins tightly and pulled back. He quickly turned the horse around, pinched the horse's belly, and galloped. .
It wasn't until he ran more than a hundred steps away that the yellow-maned horse stopped, panting and looking back at the place where he had "escaped from death" with lingering fear.
Jiang Yichen smiled helplessly and patted the yellow-maned horse's neck to comfort him.
This yellow-maned horse rented from Qingshui Town Inn is young and strong, but has a bit of courage.
The strong wind behind him suddenly rose and fell, and it took less than thirty breaths to move from side to side. Although it was extremely strange, it did not pose any threat to Jiang Yichen. However, for the yellow-maned horse, it was as if it was stuck in a quagmire and it was impossible to escape, even if it was only for a short period of time. Breathing is no different than walking through the door of hell.
After the yellow-maned horse finally calmed down, Jiang Yichen coaxed him onto the road again.
The yellow-maned horse walked much slower, and every step forward was like walking on thin ice, feeling uneasy.
Jiang Yichen did not rush, but was actually sensing the changes in the atmosphere of heaven and earth after the strange strong wind dissipated.
Strong winds don't arise for no reason. During the journey, Jiang Yichen didn't notice any signs of wind.
Obviously, this strong wind was caused by someone, someone stirred up the changes in the atmosphere of heaven and earth!
It’s not surprising that there are other people in the huge bamboo forest.
However, this bamboo forest deviates from the main road and official roads, and few people choose to pass through it, so the ones who appear here must be the local villagers.
Can ordinary people create such evil spirits?
Jiang Yichen disagreed.
In the strong wind just now, the killing intent was fierce, and the intent of the sword could be vaguely discerned.
Then this person must be a swordsman.
He had just come out of Yin Yang Valley, so he wouldn't have been targeted so quickly.
Could it be that he met some hermit master or an unknown ascetic by chance?
Thinking of the so-called disciples of Tianxing Palace who had a secret rivalry in Jinzhou City, Jiang Yichen could only make this inference.
At least he can be sure that this person will not be an enemy for the time being.
After all, according to his perception, the other party was not as proficient in using the natural power of heaven and earth as he was. The tornado sword that was supposed to be limited to a certain range lost control and continued to spread outwards, so that there was only a violent wind without any sword. Gang power.
After making up his mind, Jiang Yichen stopped worrying too much and drove his horse back on the road, taking the opportunity to savor the sword's power that had not yet dissipated.
After suddenly enlightening on the introductory method of "Sitting without Forms and Forgetting the Mind" in the Valley of Yin and Yang, Jiang Yichen has benefited a lot. Not only has he made progress in the practice of this method, but he has also gained a deeper understanding of the control and use of the natural power of heaven and earth. cognition.
After practicing martial arts for nearly twenty years, whether it was taught orally in person, or heard or seen, only by absorbing the natural power of heaven and earth into the body, refining it into internal force, and becoming something of one's own, can it be used by oneself.
In other words, the natural force of heaven and earth is the source of the internal strength of martial arts practitioners.
The encounter in the valley undoubtedly opened a new door for Jiang Yichen.
We are born in nature and are connected with nature. Since we can use the natural power of heaven and earth for our own use, it is not impossible to mobilize the natural power of heaven and earth by our own strength.
The difference is like a bow and arrow and a crossbow.
When the materials are the same, the power of bows and arrows depends entirely on arm strength, while crossbow arrows are fired by crossbow machines and can also be stretched by arm strength or other external forces. Both the range and lethality are higher than those of bows and arrows.
In fact, Jiang Yichen had seen the world behind this new door more than once.
Qin, Feng Chen, Hua Taixiang, Ning Xiaoyao, and even Chu Junhe all left their footprints behind the new gate.
Qin is the most special among these people. He uses music to enter the Tao, uses strings to disturb people's heart strings, and stirs the world. When Jiang Yichen first saw this method, he thought that this was the path of music and music, and it was not the same as kendo and other martial arts. Now If you think about it, you will know that in addition to the internal force, using the sound of the strings as a medium is a shortcut to communicate with the natural power of heaven and earth. It is no wonder that clouds can be chaotic under the fingertips.
Feng Chen competed with Hua Taixiang and Ning Xiaoyao respectively at the pinnacle of the world's creation. Jiang Yichen watched from the sidelines, unable to be immersed in the scene and not able to experience it personally. He only had admiration and no delusions.
As for Chu Junhe, Jiang Yichen was quite amazed by the Nine Heavens Galaxy Style he performed in the battle with Mo Shang. Unfortunately, his attempt to use the power of heaven and earth failed at the end of the battle. He also failed to understand the Weeping Lady's judgment and missed it earlier. Time is the opportunity to set foot in new areas.
The person who really helped Jiang Yichen reach this new door was Sword Fourteen.
Just as Leng Mei said, Sword Fourteen uses Qi to control the sword, which is equivalent to mobilizing the power of heaven and earth with one's own internal power, and then using it to help oneself control the sword. Under the current circumstances, it can be said that he has gone astray while ignoring the basics. But if there is no Sword Fourteen, etc. Zhuyu, the pioneer who was unwilling to be left behind and found a new path, was in front of him. It was difficult for Jiang Yichen, a laggard, to become a Taoist.
There is no doubt that these predecessors in the world have directly or indirectly become Jiang Yichen's guides, but this road is difficult to distinguish between reality and reality, and is rugged and difficult to navigate. If you don't understand the key, it will be difficult to achieve anything.
And "The Method of Sitting and Forgetting the Mind without Form" is Jiang Yichen's sharp weapon in overcoming all obstacles on this road.
Of course, this sharp weapon is not easy to master. Don’t you see that Situ Zhong, Zhang San, and the rest of the Wuxiang Sect were all at a loss as to how to use their skills to their full potential. Even Jiang Yichen himself failed to do so in three or four years. No progress has been made.
I don't know what the achievements of the three heads of the Wuxiang Sect, whom Jiang Yichen has never met, on this road, but no matter what, he may never see the three Gu brothers again in his life.
This incident also made Jiang Yichen more certain about the connection between "Wuxian Sitting and Forgetting Mind" and "Xiaoyao Jue". If we go back thousands of years, those who can master "Xiaoyao Jue" may not be able to fly to the sky with a sword. , but it is bound to look at all directions, and there is no place it cannot go.
Will I one day go up to another floor and see the realm of freedom?
Jianghu, Jianghu, begging for a meal is Jianghu, climbing to the top to pick up stars is also Jianghu. Even though Jiang Yichen has no desire for fame and fortune, he is always fascinated by that magical realm.
Just when Jiang Yichen was relaxing, he suddenly felt a wave of air coming from the side and coming through the bamboo and through the air!
That was an outpouring of killing intent!
That killing intent is like a knife!
A knife that can break through the silent cold river and split the heart of the bright moon in half!
It's just killing intent, not a killing move. It's scary enough but hard to hurt.
But it is so powerful that if it is less courageous, there is also the risk of liver and gallbladder rupture.
However, Jiang Yichen remained unmoved.
Even though the strong wind brought by the air waves caused the soap towel to stick directly to his face, he still flicked the reins and rode the horse forward.
The killing intent continues.
The opponent has no extra actions.
Jiang Yichen had no further reaction.
But he could bear it, but the yellow-maned horse was once again frightened to the point of becoming restless, its body stiffened, and it kept hissing.
Jiang Yichen could only gently caress his neck to soothe his mind.
Unexpectedly, the yellow-maned horse mistakenly thought it had been ordered to evacuate the place quickly, throwing away its legs and running for its life as if it was being pardoned!
Jiang Yichen in the seat couldn't help but smile, but let it go.
The previous moment of temptation was mutual.
The other party was testing his courage and confidence.
He is also feeling the depth of the other party's cultivation.
Judging from the burst of energy, this person's skill is not weaker than his.
Talking about the depth of his skills, Jiang Yichen was at the peak of his powers when he fought Ye Shang on the Sword Dance Ping.
At that time, the water and wood techniques were perfected. Although they were only inferior techniques, their attributes were mutually reinforcing and there was considerable improvement. The superior technique, Yin Feng Kung, had broken through to the eighth level, raising its power to a huge level. In addition, there is an inextricable connection between Yin Feng Kung and Shuang Xue Zhen Qi. In terms of measurement, Jiang Yichen's Kung Fu cultivation level should be enough to fully load two medium-sized ships and one small ship.
Although Yin Feng Gong is making further progress now, it can compete with Yi Wusheng. Although forcibly dispersing the Kung Fu in the middle of the battle will not affect future practice, that move still loses the body. It can stabilize the current state of Yin Feng Gong and at the same time knock out the Wuxiang Siwang. The door to cultivating the mind is already extremely difficult, and now it is still half a step away from reaching perfection.
Although the Wuxiang Sitting and Forgetting Mind method is said to have the potential to be a superior mind method, for beginners, it is still just a sect-passing method. Jiang Yichen has only practiced it to the lower level, and the frost and snow true energy has not changed. In terms of quantity, his current level of skill and cultivation is that two medium-sized ships are 90% full and one small ship is fully loaded.
Of course, these are only rough estimates. Everyone's practice is different, so we cannot give an accurate estimate like buying vegetables and cutting meat at the market.
After a little extrapolation, Jiang Yichen estimated that the swordsman's cultivation level was even better than his own at his peak, but it was difficult to find someone in his mind who could possibly match that kind of killing sword intent.
However, the yellow-maned horse didn't care and galloped out of the bamboo forest without stopping.
Jiang Yichen smiled bitterly again. If he could have guessed the identity of the other party just now and deduced that the other party's direction was exactly the same as his own, he would probably draw his sword and fight against a possible strong enemy first.
But now it was confirmed that the identity of the other party was doubtful. He could not take action rashly and could only hope that the other party was a friend rather than an enemy, or someone who had nothing to do with him.
…
…
Watching the man and the horse go further and further away.
The man holding the knife in the bamboo forest looked strange.
The man was less than forty years old, with a strong body, an underturned eyebrow, and tiger-like eyes, but his appearance was difficult to describe in a nutshell.
Although he was well-dressed, there was a dense stubble of different lengths on his cheeks, which was ragged.
Although he may be said to be slovenly, he is not a ragged person either.
The knife held in front of the chest is wider than the chest.
The knife was not in the sheath, but it was wrapped in a white cloth that had already been stained with dust.
A mere white cloth can hide the light of a knife. If the knife were not dull, the cloth would not be ordinary cloth.
After a long while, the man holding the knife lowered his head, shook his head, and muttered, "She really looks like a girl."
It's already late to see the sky.
Then he also walked out of the bamboo forest, and his destination was surprisingly the same as Jiang Yichen's!
