"Raise your hands to the height of the tip of your nose! When punching, use the same force on your waist, shoulders, and arms. Kick your feet to punch! Pull your arms back and punch with force! Combining punches with legs and feet! Wrong! Come again!"
Three or four years ago, Lin Xingliao was still practicing martial arts under the guidance of Lin's father. This set of martial arts was created by his father after his body was cleansed by the martial arts.
——
Back then, a fierce tiger came to Linjia Village, and the villagers were naturally afraid. Many strong men held hoes but did not dare to go to the tiger. They had to watch the tiger slaughter pigs, cattle and horses.
Later, Father Lin took Mother Lin and three- or four-year-old Lin Xingliao through Linjia Village. Father Lin acted bravely. I heard from the villagers that Father Lin punched the tiger's head so hard that he actually killed it. Tiger and insect.
The villagers hosted a banquet for Lin Xingliao and his family, and when they learned that Lin's father's surname was Lin, they simply left Lin Xingliao and his family in Linjia Village. The strong man in the village also built an earthen house for Lin Xingliao's family, and the village chief also gave his family a farm cow. Since then, Lin Xingliao's family has settled in Linjia Village.
Martial arts is the skill of ordinary martial artists, just like a trickster, a juggler swallowing a sword, a storyteller telling a book, or a blacksmith striking iron, it is just a skill. But Lin's father combined it with Lingqi and completely taught it to Lin Xingliao.
After Lin Xingliao entered the Xuan Dynasty, he could naturally activate the spiritual energy in his body. Although he could only envelop his fists with spiritual energy, it was enough.
Father Lin could kill a tiger with one punch, but couldn't Lin Xingliao kill a female figure with one punch?
This was the source of his courage to go to the Wild Boar Forest. Of course, it was also the reason why he could deal with the female cultivator.
——
On the morning of the next day, Lin Xingliao and Xiaofan began to move towards the central area. If Lin Xingliao did not bury his mother properly, his Taoist mind would be confused and he might not be able to continue to advance diligently.
The book "Nine Transformations of Xuantian Gong" says: "If you are unable to do it, you can't miss it even a little bit. When you have an inch to advance, use all your strength to put an end to what is in your heart, otherwise it will be difficult to advance further."
It means that when you don’t have the ability to do something, you don’t have to think about it. If you think about it, it will be in vain. When you have the ability to do the thing, you should do it immediately. If you don’t do it, you will feel sad in your heart. Think about it, otherwise it will be difficult to continue to improve.
When Lin Xingliao first started practicing the Nine Transformations Xuantian Kung, he naturally did not have the ability to bury his mother in the heart of the Wild Boar Forest. But now that he has made progress and believes that he is capable enough, he will immediately go to bury his mother in a ceremonial manner. If you don’t go and have worries in your heart, how can you continue to practice?
Lin Xingliao and Xiaofan walked into the dense forest. Lin Xingliao had been hunting with his father for many years, so he naturally knew some ways to conceal his aura. The two of them slowly explored along the way, when Lin Xingliao sensed that there might be a monster ahead. They just took a slight detour, so the two of them didn't encounter any monsters along the way.
Xiaofan was surprised by these methods. She was in the perfect state of the Nascent Realm and had extraordinary perceptive abilities. She sensed that the two of them passed by monsters more than once, but she always maintained a very subtle distance. Those The monster beast was almost able to detect the two of them, but unfortunately, almost was just a shortcoming. At that distance, the monster beast couldn't detect them.
Xiaofan originally thought of getting rid of Lin Xingliao with the help of the beast, but who would have thought that he would actually do this.
After entering deep into the wild boar forest and seeing no danger around, Xiaofan exclaimed, "Mr. Lin, your concealment skills are really amazing."
Lin Xingliao smiled and said, "There is a woodland near Linjia Village. I have hunted with my father for many years, so I naturally know some ways to conceal my aura."
The two continued to move forward. The trees in front of them became increasingly dense, and the low roars of some monster beasts could be heard from time to time in the dark woods.
Xiaofan's expression was serious, and she suddenly didn't dare to take action. Is there a way to hide her aura? At that time, when Lin Xingliao broke through, the rules of heaven and earth came down. The golden light was much brighter than when Xiaofan broke through to the Nascent Realm, but it was not as dazzling as when he broke through to the Exorcist Realm.
Xiaofan secretly whispered in his mind: Could it be that this Lin Xingliao is not in the spirit exorcism realm? It seems that the only way to kill it is to trap it in the formation.
She knew that the most dangerous section of the road was next, and she might not need to use the formation. If she encountered a powerful monster later, it could also help her.
Lin Xingliao also became serious. He detected from the clues on the ground that the monster in front must be quite big. It is easy to see the strength of monsters. The bigger they are, the stronger they are, except for a small number of monsters.
As a result, he suppressed all excess aura, and his whole body seemed to blend into the forest.
Lin Xingliao suddenly stopped. In front of him was a collapsed cave. The stones blocking the cave had long been covered with moss. From the looks of it, this was probably the cave where Mother Lin was two years ago.
Then, Lin Xingliao suddenly burst into flames, and rubble was thrown up under his feet. His figure was ejected like a bow and arrow. There was a loud noise, and the rubble blocking the cave was suddenly blasted away.
When Xiaofan saw this, he was extremely shocked and his eyes widened: "You, you are a physical practitioner? A punch of broken stones means you are a physical practitioner in the exorcism realm!"
Xiaofan has a lot of knowledge and is also very good at distinguishing physical skills. A punch to crush the skull is to enter the mysterious world, a punch to break the stone is to exorcise the spirit, and a punch to break the waterfall is to reverse the attack. Physical cultivation and Dharma cultivation of longevity are the same. The only difference is that Dharma cultivation uses Qi to moisten the body and nourish the body with Ling Qi to achieve a long life, while physical cultivation uses Qi to inject into the body to refine the body, that is, Ling Qi is directly injected into the muscles. Bones strengthen the physical body and achieve physical immortality. Of course, the punch here is a random punch.
How did Xiaofan know that it was Lin Xingliao's full blow? Just from that punch of broken stones, she concluded that Lin Xingliao was a spiritual cultivator. Because after reaching the spirit-expelling realm, it is a little difficult to practice again. You need to polish your physical body to absorb the spiritual energy. Only when your physical body is strong enough can you continue to practice to the next realm.
Polishing the body is a very painful thing, and those without great perseverance simply cannot persevere. Nine out of ten practitioners in the world practice Dharma. Unless they are stupid or have spiritual veins that are naturally suitable for physical cultivation, who would practice physical training?
Xiaofan never expected that Lin Xingliao was actually a spiritual cultivator. She originally thought that Lin Xingliao was just an inconspicuous person in the early stage of the Nascent Realm.
Xiaofan was shocked for a moment, and she felt as if she had made a mistake. Although the boy in front of him was only a boy of fourteen or fifteen years old, his eyes were full of perseverance and courage, as if he had experienced countless life and death trials. His body was strong and strong, and every inch of his muscles seemed to have been tempered and full of strength.
Physical cultivation is much easier to deal with monsters than legal cultivation. Legal cultivation has limited spiritual energy, but physical cultivation is different. The majestic vitality seems to never be exhausted.
But physical cultivation also has weaknesses. Physical cultivation is not good at dealing with legal cultivation! If the physical cultivator keeps a distance, it will be difficult to hurt the Fa cultivator, so what if Xiaofan is just a Fa cultivator in the Nascent Realm? As long as the formation is used to trap the body, it will be a living target!
Lin Xingliao ignored Xiaofan and went straight into the cave to check. Sure enough, her mother's bones were inside. Two years later, they were already white bones. But Lin Xingliao couldn't recognize her mother's clothes.
Lin Xingliao's face was pale and his eyes were red.
He naturally remembered his mother's appearance, her gentle smile, and her loving gaze, but now she had turned into bones. Even though he was mentally prepared, it was still hard to accept. He couldn't believe that all of this was true. But that's true...
Lin Xingliao collected his emotions and said in a deep voice:
"Fellow Daoist, please wait outside. I will bury the bones and leave."
"Okay, then I will set up a formation to drive away the monsters, don't worry." Xiaofan nodded.
Then Xiaofan connected dots with his fingers in the void, and formation symbols formed around him. She walked with fantasy steps, her figure was like the wind, walking among the woods, auras of light flashed between her fingers, and shining white lights were generated out of thin air.
Then, Xiaofan took out a scroll and activated it, and saw an invisible force appearing out of thin air and dispersing in all directions. The monsters in the woods were swept away by this force and retreated one after another.
Lin Xingliao ignored Xiaofan. He took a deep breath and suppressed the grief in his heart. Lin Xingliao seemed unaware of the sharp pain in his right hand that had just hit the rock. He only saw the white bones in his eyes.
Xiaofan's formation was very successful, and no monster dared to disturb Lin Xingliao.
Lin Xingliao endured his grief and started digging in the hole with his fingers, regardless of his broken right hand.
Looking at the white bones, Lin Xingliao's tears finally couldn't help but flow down. He actually wanted to cry loudly, but he held back because no one could comfort him in this vast mountain.
Lin Xingliao dug a deep pit and placed his mother's bones in it. Then he covered the bones with soil.
Lin Xingliao looked at the tomb made of loess, feeling so sad that he couldn't help himself. He was burying not only his mother, but also the mortal world.
Lin Xingliao knew that he had entered the immortal way when he refined the Nine Revolutions Xuantian. In the early years, Lin's father told him many things about the immortal family, but the first sentence of the opening sentence was always, "Xianfan" Two farewells.
Lin Xingliao stood up and dusted himself off. He looked at the tomb made of loess, and all kinds of feelings came to his heart. He understood that this was not only his mother's resting place, but also the beginning of his farewell to the mortal world and his journey to immortality.
He found a completely white stone in the cave. Lin Xingliao placed the stone in front of his mother's grave and bowed respectfully three times.
Now that he has entered the immortal realm, he must let go of what he should let go of, but if he meets someone who harmed his parents, he must kill them! As long as you cultivate to a certain level and live for tens of millions of years, you will eventually encounter it. Thinking of this, Lin Xingliao's thoughts became clear, and he no longer had the entanglement he had before coming to the Wild Boar Forest.
He looked at the transparent white stone and felt an indescribable determination in his heart. He knew that this was his respect for his mother and his dedication to the immortal way.
Lin Xingliao's figure gradually lengthened in the afterglow of the setting sun, and finally turned into a resolute silhouette. He looked up to the sky, his eyes shining brightly.
He stepped forward and strode forward. The mother's tomb behind him was like an immortal symbol, reminding him that he had embarked on the path to immortality.
Now, he was going to solve the first trouble on this vast immortal road.
Use what his father taught him to solve this problem.
The corners of Lin Xingliao's mouth raised slightly, "Xiao Fan, you are really a trouble."
There are thousands of types of formations, but generally speaking, there are four major categories, those to defend against external enemies, those to teleport, those to assist monks within the formation, and - those to trap enemies in formations!
The formation arranged by Xiaofan should be a defense formation against monsters as she promised. However, the formation scroll she took out was one to trap and kill the people in the formation.
At this time, Xiaofan had already arranged the formation. With a cunning light in her eyes, she said, "This formation can defend against monsters and trap enemies. Now that I have done what I promised, give me the technique." .”
Lin Xingliao smiled slightly and did not answer. He looked into Xiaofan's eyes and seemed to see the deceit in her heart.
Lin Xingliao sighed and said: "As mentioned at the beginning of this technique, you need to put the paper in front of you during practice to keep your pulse. You probably know that, so you are not just willing to borrow it, right? Do we still have room for peace?"
Xiaofan shook her head and stopped talking. She knew before that fire spells seemed to have miraculous effects on Lin Xingliao, so she used many fire spells to attack Lin Xingliao.
Xiaofan waved his hand, and several balls of fire roared out. There was no unnecessary nonsense. Since the murderous intention was determined, it was a fight to the death.
Lin Xingliao did not dare to neglect. The fires seemed scattered, but in fact they were orderly. They were all centered on the direction where the firelight was the strongest. Amidst the whistling sound, Lin Xingliao's body shape changed, and he could barely avoid those groups of firelights. It whizzed past, leaving only a piece of scorched blackness.
Lin Xingliao kept moving. He understood that the other party's cultivation level was higher than his own. Seeing this, Xiaofan raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth. She had known that Lin Xingliao had this move. Since he had good physical training, he must have a flexible body, so she Only then did he use the formation to trap Lin Xingliao.
Xiaofan pinched his fingers to activate the formation. In an instant, Lin Xingliao felt his whole body sinking and found it difficult to move. He knew in his heart that this was the suppression of the formation, slowing down his speed. Xiaofan's figure moved nimbly around him, and the fire roared with her movements. Lin Xingliao tried his best to avoid it, but his body was still touched by the fire. The burning sensation came, making him even more anxious.
Xiaofan's figure was at ease in the formation. Her movements were quick and accurate. The fire light danced with her fingertips, like fiery snakes swimming in the air. Lin Xingliao tried his best to dodge, but his clothes were burned and his skin was burnt black. He felt as if his body had been hit by a heavy hammer, and the suppression of the formation prevented him from exerting his strength.
Fortunately, Lin Xingliao's body is extremely strong. Among monks of the same realm who are fighting martial arts, one of the advantages of physical training is that he can withstand beatings!
But now Lin Xingliao is a living target, no matter how hard he resists, he is just a living target.
But he did not panic, but picked up a stone on the ground.
Then, Lin Xingliao threw the flying stone with great force, and there was actually a faint sound of breaking through the air!
The stone flew out and broke the spell with one strike. It actually penetrated the formation and knocked down Xiaofan from the air!
Xiaofan was hit by a stone, his figure rolled in the air, and finally fell to the ground in a panic. She looked at Lin Xingliao in horror, a trace of fear flashing in her eyes. Lin Xingliao just smiled faintly and said, "Your formation is indeed good, but you also need to protect your life."
Lin Xingliao didn't kill anyone, so there was no need for him to take action in the current situation.
Xiaofan gritted her teeth. She knew that Lin Xingliao had seen through her thoughts. She secretly regretted that she was too careless and was defeated by Lin Xingliao with a stone. She knew that her formation could no longer pose a threat to Lin Xingliao, so she immediately stood up and wanted to escape.
But at this moment, a monster beast that looked like a tiger suddenly attacked and pounced directly on Xiaofan. Xiaofan screamed and tried to escape but it was already too late. The monster opened its bloody mouth and bit Xiaofan's neck. Blood spurted out, and Xiaofan's screams followed.
Xiaofan tried her best to escape and wanted to fly away, but her body only shook a few times in the air and finally fell to the ground. Her eyes were wide open, and she seemed to be staring at Lin Xingliao unwillingly. Lin Xingliao felt a pang of regret in his heart. He knew that Xiaofan could have become a powerful monk, but lost his life because of his selfishness.
But destiny has its way, and everything is destined.
Since greed arises, death is not worth cherishing.
Xiaofan's spells attracted a large number of monsters, and it was all her own fault.
At this time, many monsters had gathered outside the formation. Although Lin Xingliao could not get out for the time being, he was still safe.
But if we stay for a while longer, those monster beasts may leave, and more monster beasts may come around.
By then, this broken formation may not be effective.
But Lin Xingliao was not in a hurry to leave. He dragged Xiaofan's body into the formation.
Lin Xingliao buried Xiaofan at the entrance of the cave and let the monk be the caretaker for Lin's mother. He didn't want Mother Lin to suffer these unnecessary disturbances while she was still in hell. He took a deep look at Xiaofan's tombstone, then turned and left.
Lin Xingliao stepped into the formation, and the monsters no longer besieged him. They seemed to have a natural fear of the formation. It seems that the big restriction covering the wild boar forest makes these monsters afraid when they see the formation.
He felt a little more at ease, but still didn't dare to be careless. He knew that these monsters were only attracted by Xiaofan's spells and had no real intention to attack. But now the situation has changed, Xiaofan is dead, and this formation will soon become ineffective without the supply of spiritual energy.
He needs to get out of here as soon as possible, otherwise those monsters may attack him.
Lin Xingliao was not in a hurry. He directly found a place to hide, then reduced his aura to a minimum and merged with the forest again.
When the formation was broken, those monsters left as expected.
But Lin Xingliao was not in a hurry to leave. He wanted to guard his mother's grave for a few days.
Then he sat cross-legged and meditated on a tree trunk outside the cave.
Of course, check out the loot too.
Xiaofan didn't have many things, just a formation scroll, a palm-sized cloth bag, and a sword.
Lin Xingliao couldn't understand the formation scroll and didn't know how to use it, so he put it away. There was nothing to say about the sword, so he just wore it on his waist. As for the cloth bag, Lin Xingliao just felt that there was spiritual energy flowing in it. .
Lin Xingliao fumbled for a while and found that he could detect a space by pouring spiritual energy into the bag. The space was not big, about the size of a desk, and he could actually put things in it.
Naturally, Lin Xingliao didn't know that this thing was called a storage bag, but he was open to it. As long as it could be used, it didn't matter what it was called.
Lin Xingliao then put in all his treasures, such as the fragments of "Nine Revolutions of Xuantian Cultivation Technique" and "Crazy Thunder Body Refining Technique", and of course his two pieces of clothes and those silver coins and formations. Dharma scroll.
As for what was originally inside the cloth bag?
In fact, it's nothing, just some women's clothing, a few talismans, a "Collection of Five Elements Techniques of the Small Path", and a jade tablet.
That jade tablet was special. Lin Xingliao vaguely felt that there was spiritual energy inside, so he took it out. But when Lin Xingliao touched the jade tablet, the jade tablet suddenly glowed, and the light shot straight into the clouds. .
Lin Xingliao was so blinded by the light that he felt his hand empty and the jade token flew into the air. He calmed down and saw the jade tablet flying higher and higher in the air, as if it was about to touch the clouds. At this time, the jade tablet suddenly erupted into a strong beam of light, rushing straight down.
Lin Xingliao felt that his body was attracted by a powerful force, and his whole body seemed to be flying towards the light pillar. He wanted to struggle, but found that he seemed to have lost control, and could only watch as he flew towards the light pillar.
