As the sound of wind outside the cave became smaller, time seemed to have stopped. Wu Fan in this underground space absorbed the ink color of black jade like a statue. After an unknown amount of time, Wu Fan slowly opened his eyes, and the color of the black jade in his hand turned from black to white, and there was a hint of clarity in Wu Fan's eyes.
It turns out that most of these jade slips are the various secret techniques of the Yuhu Sect, as well as some outer sect techniques collected during its heyday, including both righteous and evil ways. It's just that the source of the evil technique is unknown. If it is rumored that the Yu Hu Sect secretly hides the evil technique, it will be quite influential. So I simply collected all the secrets of the sect together, so that they would not be easily discovered, and these jade slips condensed the backup of all the books, just in case.
Before the great catastrophe on the North Peak, those techniques were probably wiped out, but now 80% of the techniques on the main peak were written by later generations. Although there is generally no difference, some of the new ideas are definitely not as subtle as before. Wu Fan couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Then he picked up the jade slip in his hand, held his breath and concentrated as described in the black jade, and put his thoughts into the jade slip.
At first, Wu Fan's face turned red while holding his breath, and he couldn't concentrate at all. Later, he stabilized his mind and tried a few more times, and found that the true meaning of holding his breath and concentrating was to have a peaceful mind. It doesn't matter whether you are walking or standing, as long as you keep your state of mind unaffected by the outside world.
As the saying goes, if you keep one mind and watch the enemy's movements quietly, you can respond to all changes without change.
Gradually mastering the technique, Wu Fan quickly entered the state of meditation as an old monk. Because when he was in Woxi Village before, he often practiced the exercises he learned from strange books in his mind. So now he can grasp the things he has learned from the jade slips very quickly. After the things recorded in the jade slips were read completely, they were firmly imprinted in Wu Fan's mind. Feeling that he had almost remembered it, Wu Fan opened his eyes slightly, and saw that the luster of the jade slip in his hand dimmed, and then clicked into pieces.
Is this the legendary burning after reading? Wu Fan suddenly had a strange idea in his heart. He shook his head again and quickly recalled the exercises he had just learned. If he forgot, there would be no place to review them.
He pondered for a moment and muttered in a low voice: "The jade slip just talked about the Five Elements Technique of the Yuhu Sect. The so-called five elements are 'gold, wood, water, fire and earth'. Everything in the universe contains the energy of the five elements, collectively called 'spirit'. Each sect has its own method of control. The Jade Pot Sect's method is to communicate the 'spirit' in the body with the 'spirit' in the air, and use one's own energy as a medium to control it."
Although it sounds awkward, Wu Fan is actually very awkward in his heart. Although he memorizes it very well, he is actually confused. It would be nice if someone could give me some advice. Now even the jade slips that record it are broken, which is really a headache. . Seeing that it was getting dark outside, Wu Fan thought that he was waiting to die anyway, so why not give it a try?
Wu Fan remembered that he happened to be introduced to the 'Five Elements-Fire Character Jue' at the beginning, and the first tactic he came into contact with also impressed him deeply, so he followed the "Fire Character Jue" described in the jade slip as the single-line tactic. Born from fire, the five elements restrain fire first; the word fire is at the head and fire is at the tail, and the five elements are restrained by each other and fire is born. It’s water, by the way, it’s earth, metal, water, wood, and fire.”
After reciting these two sentences, Wu Fan recalled that day when Lu Chun dragged the disciples of the Ninth Academy up the mountain and was talking about Tu Lai, which should be the Tu character formula. So what he thought was right, so he said nervously: "Fire, metal, wood, earth, water, earth, metal, water, wood, fire, come fire!" It was as if the cave was cheering him on, constantly echoing, fire. Come, come fire, come fire!
Even with the help of the cave, he waited for a long time, but the fire did not come, but the night came, bringing with it a swarm of mosquitoes, buzzing and biting around Wufan. Wu Fan stamped his foot angrily and thought: Yes! I must have run out of strength! So he put all his strength on the index finger of his right hand, placed it a foot in front of his forehead, pointed at a group of mosquitoes, and shouted loudly: "Fire, metal, wood, earth, water, earth, metal, water, wood, fire, come fire!"
I saw a ball of flame rising out of thin air from above my finger, and the mosquitoes were instantly burned to charcoal, and Wu Fan laughed proudly. But those corpses with sparks fluttered and fell, and small flames burned Wu Fan's brows, just like the bald land on the stone chamber.
A bonfire was raised in the cave room. Wu Fan held two pills in his hand, frowned without eyebrows, and then swallowed the two pills in one gulp. According to the Five Elements Jue, the elements communicated by your own spirit can control whether they can have an effect on you. But just now he wanted to kill mosquitoes, so why did he burn himself? Looking at the crackling fire, Wu Fan put his hand over it, and sure enough he felt the heat, which was different from the flame on his fingers just now.
This time Wu Fan gathered his strength and used the magic trick again. This time it was just a small flame. Wu Fan touched it with his hand, and the flame wrapped around his fingers, but Wu Fan could not feel the slightest warmth. So he went to the entrance of the cave, picked up a fallen leaf, and lit it. Sure enough, the temperature of the flame rose. It turns out that it is because one's own spirit has been transferred to other media and turned into other elements in nature.
So he tried a few more times and found that it was indeed the case. This discovery allowed him to fully feel the magic of the spirit in the Five Elements Jue, which might be useful if he encounters an accident in the future. Wu Fan also felt a little tired after trying too many times. The Five Elements Jue used his own strength to control the elements. Wu Fan felt that strength should be strength. Although it doesn't matter whether you are holding a flame or a ball of fire, the physical feeling is the same. But the actual energy consumed is like walking a distance holding a bag of copper coins and carrying a bag of flour.
Therefore, Wu Fan thought that the fundamental of Five Elements Technique was to focus on training one's own quality. Wu Fan couldn't help but feel very entangled. It was obviously a magic, so why did he need to exercise strength when practicing magic. Moreover, it is only a single method now. If it is combined in the future, it will be very tiring. It is strange and confusing. Because Wu Fan used too much strength, the more he thought about it, the more tired he became, and he gradually fell asleep.
Just by repeating these tasks of reading jade slips, practicing, and sleeping, Wu Fan's eyebrows grew little by little, and he became more comfortable in controlling the Five Elements Art. After finishing the first two bottles of elixirs, he continued to When taking the second bottle, Wu Fan found that even after taking it, he could still fill his stomach. But there is no longer that magical feeling at the beginning. Is it because of the frequent use of pills that it feels boring now?
In the intervening days, Wu Fan memorized a few more jade slips, and then practiced the remaining four techniques of the Five Elements Jue. As the saying goes, after mastering the Fire Jue, the remaining four techniques It's fairly easy to master, but in terms of material nature, fire and water are natural elements, while metal, wood, and earth are material elements. Although it can be communicated with the five elements of the spirit within oneself, fire and water can be extracted and transformed from the heat and humidity of the air, but metal, wood, and earth can only fully function in the environment.
So from an attack perspective, the destructive power of fire and water is to destroy objects from the outside world, while metal, wood, and earth are to destroy objects from the environment itself. The more he thought about it, the more confused he became. It was difficult to feel the specific differences and connections just by imagining it. He just rehearsed the subsequent combination of techniques in his mind but did not dare to put them into practice. Although the room in the cave was not big, it was still a place to stay. If there was an accident and it was destroyed by him, he could just put it into practice. Buried himself. So I simply put it aside and continued to browse other jade slips.
More than ten days passed in a flash, and there were not many complete jade slips on the cabinet. Most of the techniques had been memorized by Wu Fan. Wu Fan doesn't care whether it's good or bad, black or white, anyway, it's all the things written in the jade slips, and he stuffs them all into his little head. Wu Fan calculated that it had been more than a month since he arrived at Beifeng, but his younger brothers hadn't come to look for him yet. He was secretly angry in his heart. If he could get out later, he would teach them a lesson.
What Wu Fan didn't know was that at this time, those disciples had changed from ants in the pot to frogs in warm water. It was as if their bodies had adapted to this kind of life, their eyes were lifeless, and they were like corpses sitting on the ground. generally. I wonder when a boulder will fall and the pot will leak, allowing these frogs to come to life again.
A few days later, Wu Fan finally stuffed the last jade slip, and he felt empty in his heart as he lay on the ground. He seemed to have adapted to this tense and comfortable life. He didn't have to think about other things every day, just repeating the previous steps. Things that are repeated every day are nothing new, but there is no need to think about what to do in the future. Finally, the day came when he finished reading the jade slips. Not knowing what else to do, Wu Fan fell into a kind of fear.
The elixir seemed to have been carefully planned, but now there is not much left. I have learned a lot of skills but have nowhere to expand. If I starve to death here, it is better to just drink two bottles in one go and just starve myself to death. It would be great if there could be a stone bridge flying outside the cave, just like Lu Chun did...
Thinking of Wu Fan jumping up from the ground, he wished he could give himself a few big mouths. He was wrong to kill the mosquitoes with fire in the first place, and then he went further away step by step from here on. He only thought about how to use the Five Elements Technique to attack, but he never thought about how to use it. Even during this period of time, I used the fire technique to make fire every day, and I felt like I was attacking wood. Speaking of wood, the cabinets in the stone house are made of wood, and the vines outside the mountain are also of wood nature, and the grass and trees all over the mountains are right in front of me. Like a fool, I keep guarding the fire every day and only know how to play with fire.
Wu Fan was so angry that his chest felt tight. He came to the entrance of the cave and pinched the sword finger with his left hand, which was useless but just for good looks and no one could see. He opened his right hand slightly and thought, I will build a stone wall directly on the mountain. Wall, then you can go up, and you have to shout: "Earth, water, fire, metal and wood, metal, water, wood, fire and earth, earth is here!"
Just halfway through reciting the Wu Fan Tu Jue, I felt something was wrong in my heart. Suddenly I remembered the hidden cave entrance where he jumped down. It was not high from the ground. Wouldn't it be easier to go up from there? Why bother to put in so much effort here. It was so boring for so long that I felt stupid.
He came to the entrance of the cave in despair, and cast the earth magic at his feet in a loud voice with anger and anger. There was a rumble under his feet, and a stone pillar rose into the sky under his feet, directly flying him out of the cave entrance. Wu Fan hurriedly put away the soil technique, and followed the inertia and flew upward for a certain distance, stopped, fell, and fell to the place where he first fainted.
