"ah!"
After smashing Scarface's knee with a bang, Lin Xing flew out in a flash.
After turning back time this time, he didn't rush to the stone platform like he did in the past.
Instead, he bypassed the stone platform and ran toward the mountains and forests in the northeast.
Lin Xing wanted to see what was there, but the mountain god and Bao Zhang didn't want him to go there.
The forest, which had not seen people all year round, seemed dense and dark, but Lin Xing could vaguely detect a path in it, which seemed to be the path pressed by the mountain gods over the years.
The deeper he followed the path, the more Lin Xing could smell a pungent fishy smell, like the smell of countless corpses and feces mixed together for who knows how long.
He was wondering if this place might be the mountain god's lair. Suddenly, the woods behind him began to shake violently, and it turned out that the mountain god was chasing him.
"I obviously didn't go to Shitai this time..."
Seeing the corrupt and foul-smelling monster chasing him, a flash of realization flashed through Lin Xing's mind: "Are you trying to stop me from going deep here? It seems that there are some secrets in this direction. Neither the mountain god nor the security chief wants anyone to let anyone know." You know, even the mountain god himself is always nearby.”
So in the next time, Lin Xing kept moving forward in this direction.
He felt like he was performing parkour in the mountains and forests.
He needs to continue to familiarize himself with the terrain, constantly adjust the distribution of physical strength, choose a faster route after death, and even start to use terrain that is beneficial to him to distance himself from the mountain god, trying again and again to persist in running out under the pursuit of the mountain god. further distance.
Finally, after hundreds of attempts, Lin Xing looked past a large number of bones and animal carcasses and saw a huge bluestone.
Lin Xing was slightly startled when he saw a row of strange symbols written in blood on the bluestone.
The mountain god behind him looked at this scene and seemed to be extremely furious. He was crawling on all fours and biting towards him like a wild beast.
Lin Xing took the opportunity to circle around the big blue stone and found that there were lines of small words on the back of the stone.
"Taoist Baiyun, suppress evil spirits here..."
Seeing this scene, Lin Xing's heart moved: "Suppress evil spirits here? Does it mean the mountain god? Has he been suppressed?"
He still wanted to look down, but he could no longer withstand the mountain god's attack and was beaten to death.
Next, Lin Xing broke through again and again, reading the contents on the bluestone again and again, and finally read all the words.
According to the above description, this place was originally the place where Jiangjiacun abandoned the elderly.
Because of years of wars and food requisitions, the village has insufficient food, and every year old people who are too old are abandoned here.
Old people who are unable to work or are seriously ill often starve to death when they stay here.
Over time, there were many more corpses here, and a lot of resentment gathered.
And I don’t know when, a man-eating monster appeared here.
At first, only some villagers who came to see the old people off noticed that they found that some of the old people's bodies were eaten to pieces by some unknown animals.
But then children in the village began to disappear, and many villagers became panicked.
At this time, a Taoist priest who called himself Baiyun Taoist passed by and suppressed the evil spirits for them. He left this big stone and carved the evil-suppressing talisman on it to continue suppressing the place and prevent the birth of new evil spirits.
Looking at the story recorded on the stone, Lin Xing's face showed a thoughtful look.
When he came to the bluestone for the last time, he stared closely at the evil-suppressing talisman in front of the bluestone and engraved the content on it into his mind.
…
After once again recovering from the dissipating pain, Lin Xing still kept recalling the appearance of the evil-suppressing talisman in his mind.
In fact, when he saw the evil-suppressing talisman on the bluestone, a new memory came to his mind.
"The evil-suppressing talisman is a talisman specially used to suppress evil spirits, and it only works against evil spirits."
Lin Xing thought in his mind: "Since Taoist Baiyun said that he has suppressed evil spirits, how come this mountain god is still alive and kicking?"
Lin Xing hadn't figured out the truth behind the matter for a while, but he understood one thing.
"Since the mountain god and the security chief don't want me to go there, it means that the evil-suppressing talisman should be useful."
Thinking of this, Lin Xing gradually made a decision in his mind.
There might be some way to deal with the mountain god by directly using the big bluestone with the evil-suppressing talisman painted on it, but Lin Xing didn't intend to do that.
The first plan Lin Xing wanted to try... was to practice his spell skills and then draw evil-suppressing charms to suppress the mountain god.
As early as when he awakened the memory passed down by Tao Tong, Lin Xing knew how to practice the art of spells.
At this moment, he kept thinking about the memory of the talisman in his mind. He felt that this plan was very feasible. In the whole process, he could not only deal with the mountain god, but also use this opportunity to practice skills and improve his strength.
"If you want to master the spell, you must first master the first level of meditation."
"You can't practice here..."
Lin Xing looked in the direction of Shitai. He had to make himself die every time before the little girl was eaten by the mountain god, or both of them died at about the same time, in order to ensure that he could go back in time and return to the time when the little girl was eaten by the mountain god. time before eating.
And once he dies after the little girl has been dead for a while, it may happen that after time goes back... the girl is already dead.
This obviously does not meet Lin Xing's purpose.
Then, they saw Lin Xing break Scarface's knee with a wrench, and he quickly arrived at the stone platform.
Then he sat cross-legged in front of the stone platform, ignoring the surprised look on his face, and started meditating on the spot.
The security guard looked at the man who was running all the way over and sitting down, and couldn't help but asked curiously: "What are you doing?"
Not only him, Bai Yiyi was also full of doubts. She couldn't understand why Lin Xing was forcing Scarface to lead the way just now, and suddenly he rushed all the way here to sit down and meditate.
Lin Xing did not explain to them, but just tried to devote himself to the practice of meditation.
breathe--
Lin Xing adjusted his body, restrained the distracting thoughts in his heart, tried to focus on his breathing, and realized the movement of his body in his breathing, pursuing an ethereal state.
But the chief's voice kept coming, disturbing his mind.
The next appearance of the mountain god seriously affected Lin Xing's concentration.
The movement caused by the huge body, the crying of the children on the stone platform, the stench that hit his face, and the approaching death and severe pain... everything seemed to be hindering Lin Xing's meditation practice.
Lin Xing could only die again and again and keep trying.
This meditation between life and death could only make him feel irritated, nervous, flustered and other negative emotions at first.
But as the number of deaths continues to rise, maybe thousands? Maybe tens of thousands of times? Lin Xing no longer remembers.
He just gradually began to feel numb to all this. He found that he seemed to finally be able to ignore all kinds of external stimulation and devote himself wholeheartedly to the breathing of his body. His mind seemed to gradually become more ethereal.
As the fishy wind hit his face, Lin Xing suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the bloody mouth of the mountain god. He found that there was no trace of fear or panic in his heart.
But when time went back and his body reappeared intact, there seemed to be no trace of joy or thankfulness in his heart.
In this process from life to death, and from death to life, Lin Xing's mind was always at peace and he continued to meditate.
If Lin Xing faced death in the past and only used strong will to actively overcome it, now he has gradually learned to adapt to death.
"Is this what it means to be in concentration?"
At the same time, Lin Xing had something more in his mind.
After the first level of sickle sword technique and the second level of Taiqing Changquan, he finally mastered the third skill - the first level of meditation.
As he mastered the first level of meditation, Lin Xing first felt that his heart and lung strength had received a powerful blessing.
Not only that, as he reached the first level of meditation, he gained a deeper insight into himself, and found that the technical information that he could only vaguely feel in his mind now became clear.
In his perception, the sickle sword technique, Taiqing Changquan and meditation were like three tiny groups of light surrounding his mind.
Now that he has mastered the first level of meditation, he can even clearly perceive his progress in these three skills.
But this kind of perception is still a bit abstract, so Lin Xing tried to use numbers to describe this abstract perception.
As he conceived this in his mind, his insights into the body gradually became based on his own understanding, and finally transformed into numerical descriptions.
So after a moment, three numbers slowly appeared behind the three skills.
Scythe (1st level 2%)
Taiqing Changquan (0% on the second level)
Meditate (0% on first level)
