This is a mountain peak standing on the riverside.
The mountain peak is not high, but it is extremely steep. The cliffs are covered with dense trees and vines.
It was late at night, and a bright moon hung high on the top of the mountain. Under the mountain was the river flowing eastward. There were many rocks in this section of the river, and the water was extremely fast. It could even be said to be fierce. It kept lapping at the river. On a towering reef, layers of white foam arose, like a huge monster trying to swallow up everything within its reach.
Shuguan was sitting cross-legged on the thick branches of an ancient banyan tree at the top of the mountain. From time to time in the surrounding mountains and forests, the sound of the howling of apes could be heard, or the sound of owls hunting at night, flying through the mountains and forests.
But these very creepy sounds did not affect Shu Guan. He closed his eyes tightly and concentrated on regulating his breathing. His body remained motionless, as if he had merged with the ancient banyan tree under him.
But within his body, the spiritual power was flowing like a river under the mountain.
Shu Guan used the luck method of the second turn of the Nine Turns Pure Yang Kung Fu to activate the spiritual power in his body and continuously hit the Shaoshang point on the inside of his right thumb.
Shaoshang point belongs to the hand-taiyin lung meridian among the twelve main meridians in the body, and is the first point at the beginning of the hand-taiyin lung meridian.
What Shu Guan is doing now is to temper this Shaoshang point.
After advancing to the first level of consciousness, the focus of practice becomes to temper the various acupoints in the meridians of the body, tempering them into places that can accommodate and store spiritual power like the Dantian.
And every time an acupoint is tempered, the spiritual power that can be stored in the body will naturally be richer, and the longer the Taoist magic will be performed, the stronger the power will be, and the more Qi will be generated, the more magical changes will be achieved when performing the Taoist magic. many.
It has been almost a month since Shu Guan Zhou Tian Gong was completed, but after he completed the Zhou Tian Gong, things happened one after another, and he actually had no time to practice properly anymore.
It was only now that he left Jingcheng that Shu Guan finally had the opportunity to start tempering his acupoints.
So walking along the river with the Four-legged Snake this time is not only helping the Four-legged Snake to protect the Dharma, but it is also a journey of his own cultivation.
The first meridian orifice point that Shuguan chose to temper was the Taiyin Lung Meridian of Hand.
As for the reason, Shu Guan found that most of his strength now lies in a pair of hands. Whether he is using a giant horn bow or an ox-ear sharp knife, he relies on one pair of hands. To perform the skill of wielding a sword, he also relies on both hands.
Therefore, Shu Guan chose to temper various acupoints on the Taiyin Lung Meridian of the Hand first.
Once the tempering is completed, not to mention the improvement of Taoist cultivation, his attack power will definitely increase significantly.
The spiritual power hits Shaoshang Point again and again. Looking inwards, one can see the mutated white spiritual power in the body, just like the river under the mountain peak that keeps lapping against the rocks, one wave after another, as if it never stops. will stop.
However, the rocks in the river have always remained standing despite the lapping of the river water. However, under the gaze of spiritual consciousness, it is clear that the acupuncture points in the body have expanded slightly with each impact of spiritual power.
If the aperture can be compared to a real cave, this cave is getting bigger and bigger and tougher under the impact of spiritual power.
At a certain moment, Shuguan stopped the movement of his spiritual power.
It's just that unlike in the past, the spiritual power would return to the Dantian along the meridians after passing through the acupoints. This time, part of the spiritual power stayed in the Shaoshang acupoint, which was almost ten times larger.
Although this acupoint has not been filled up, the spiritual energy can stay and be stored, indicating that the acupoint has been tempered.
Shu Guan slowly opened his eyes.
The bright star-like light in his eyes flashed away, and then returned to normal.
It's been five days since I left Jingcheng, and I finally completed the tempering of the first acupoint.
There are a total of twenty-two acupuncture points on the Hand-Taiyin Lung Meridian that need to be tempered. If you calculate it this way, it will take about four months to complete the tempering of the entire Hand-Taiyin Lung Meridian. At that time, Shu Guan will Become a practitioner of the second layer of the First Awareness Realm.
Shu Guan stood up from the thick branch, raised his right arm, and felt that the spiritual power flowing through his right arm was much stronger than before. Every time the spiritual power circulates in the Taiyin Lung Meridian of his hand, a part of it will Stay in the Shaoshang Point until the entire Shaoshang Point is filled. Once the Taoist magic is performed, the Dantian and Shaoshang Points can output spiritual power at the same time, and the power will naturally be much stronger than before.
The peach wood sword slipped out of his sleeve quietly and came to Shu Guan's right palm.
Shu Guan held the mahogany sword and took a deep breath. The spiritual power in his body quickly followed a strange line and ran through his body for a week, outlining a figure that looked like a big goose with wings spread and its head raised to the sky.
Shu Guan raised his mahogany sword and pointed it at the river below the mountain peak, just like he had done at the foot of Snake Mountain a few days ago.
But in the end, Shu Guan did not strike out with the sword at this moment.
He sighed in disappointment and lowered his arms.
Or not.
He clearly felt that even if he struck out with this sword, he would never be able to reach the power of the sword that day.
This seems to be related to the emotion and state of mind that day. Shu Guan has tried several times in the past few days, but he can no longer reproduce the power of the sword that day.
Shu Guan had a feeling that the sword moves that the old cripple taught him should be driven by the emotions when performing them. The stronger the emotion, the more powerful the sword moves would be.
The anger caused by the death of his master and the disappointment of his own inability were so strong at that time, but it was difficult to have such emotions later, so he could no longer be as powerful as he was that day. A sword.
Putting the mahogany sword back into his sleeve, Shu Guan took a step forward and jumped straight to the bottom of the mountain. Then he fell like a meteor on the rocks on the beach by the river. He bent his knees slightly and then stood firm.
Han Biao looked back at him, then continued to practice boxing by himself.
Han Biao practiced boxing in the river.
The turbulent river water reached his waist. Han Biao just walked upstream, facing the turbulent water of the river, walking forward step by step. Every step he took,
Han Biao would throw a punch and at the same time let out a loud shout like thunder.
In such a turbulent river, let alone whether ordinary people can stand firm, even a small boat without an experienced boatman at the helm will be swept away by the river or even capsize if not careful.
But Han Biao walked very steadily in the river. Even at the moment when he punched hard, the river water within three meters of him would flow backwards, and then collide with the river water rushing down the upstream, causing a violent collision. There was a big wave.
Shu Guan watched silently from the side with an appreciative gaze, feeling that every step, every punch, and every movement of Uncle Han was full of power and artistic beauty.
Han Biao's current strength is roughly equivalent to a practitioner at the peak of the Qi-Entraining Stage, that is, a perfect practitioner of Zhou Tian Gong.
But unlike ordinary practitioners, as a corpse puppet, Han Biao was unable to practice most of the Taoist techniques.
Because his body was actually "dead" long ago, and the meridians and acupuncture points in his body could not accommodate the movement of spiritual power like normal practitioners.
But the corpse puppet's body possesses strength, speed and agility far beyond that of ordinary people, and these powers, speed and agility can continue to grow.
Although corpse puppets walk between yin and yang, they are by no means the kind of zombies that are controlled by humans, but a creature that is very different from normal humans, a creature with powerful physical strength.
Just like the corpse puppet of the Maiden Sect, the body is strong enough to withstand Taoist attacks, and with a punch or a kick, it can pose a fatal threat to the practitioner.
Therefore, the most suitable training method for Han Biao is his previous martial arts.
Just like the Bengquan in Xingyiquan that Han Biao was practicing at this time. It is said that this boxing method is described in the boxing classics as being as powerful as thunder, splitting mountains and rocks. For ordinary people, this is of course just a description, but When applied to Han Biao at this time, it was an appropriate description.
At least for those rocks in the river, Han Biao now has no problem smashing them one by one with one punch.
Han Biao, who was practicing boxing in the rushing river, seemed to never get tired, step after step, punch after punch.
Shu Guan didn't look at it for too long, then he sat down on a rock by the river and started another practice of his own.
He took out a sheepskin volume from his arms. On the sheepskin volume were written the three characters "Qing Nang Sutra".
This is one of the six secret volumes of the Zuomamen inheritance.
Although Shu Guan has now left the Seven Immortals Alliance, he actually still has another identity, that is, he is the fifty-seventh generation leader of the Zouma Sect.
Before Ming Jinan died, he asked Shu Guan, hoping that Shu Guan could help him continue the inheritance of Zoumamen. Shu Guan also agreed to the old man who had been very kind to him.
Since he is the sect leader of the Zouma Sect, although he is actually the only sect leader in the so-called Zouma Sect at this time, these Taoist secret books still need to be practiced.
Moreover, Shu Guan himself was also very interested in practicing the art of Feng Shui.
The Green Sac Sutra he took out now is the most basic of the six volumes of Feng Shui secret techniques, and it is also the most basic practice method on the path of Feng Shui.
Shu Guan opened the first parchment page of the Qing Sang Sutra and saw the words "Wangqi Pian" at the top of the parchment.
"The art of Feng Shui begins with looking at Qi..."
Shu Guan began to study it seriously.
…
When the first ray of sunshine in the morning shone on the surface of the river, Han Biao, who had been practicing hard all night in the river, finally stopped and walked up from the river. He walked to Shu Guan and sat down. The hood behind the clothes was put on.
When Han Biao is not practicing boxing, his movements when walking still look a little stiff. This stiffness is because all the muscles and tendons in his body are "dead", but this stiffness does not affect his body. His agility.
The skin on his face glowed with a blue-black metallic color, and his face looked thinner than before. The lines were as sharp as knife carvings, and in his eyes, where the pupils used to be, It has been replaced by two groups of green ghost fire.
If his appearance appeared in the world of ordinary people, it would definitely cause panic and riots among ordinary people.
When Han Biao came over, Shu Guan also closed the parchment in his hand. He closed his eyes for a moment, and then opened them. There seemed to be something white in his eye sockets.
Then Shu Guan looked at the rising sun on the river.
The rising sun is bright red, brilliant but not dazzling, and falls on the river. It is a very beautiful scene.
But in Shu Guan's eyes at this time, the bright red sunlight became more and more intense, like a burning flame, covering the river surface.
"The color of the rising sun is red."
Under the red aura that looked like a raging fire, there was a light blue "aura" that was rising continuously.
This is the "qi" of the water in this big river.
Shu Guan's gaze turned behind him. On the mountain peak behind him, there were yellow and green "qi" intertwined and intertwined.
That is the "qi" of the vegetation and the "qi" of the mountains.
Then Shu Guan turned to look at Han Biao beside him.
Han Biao's body is covered with a layer of faint gray "qi". He is a creature that is neither alive nor dead, a foreign object walking between yin and yang, so the "qi" on his body is a chaotic gray.
Then Shu Guan blinked again. The white mist in his eyes disappeared and he returned to normal.
Then the world around him returned to normal in his eyes.
"Brother Shu, what were you looking at just now?"
Han Biao noticed something strange, especially the last look Shu Guan gave him, which gave him a strange feeling that his whole body was being seen through, so he asked this question at this time.
"Uncle Han, I was looking at my anger just now."
Shu Guan smiled slightly.
Yes, after reading the "Qi-Wang Chapter" of the Qing Sang Sutra all night, Shu Guan can still watch Qi!
Like any Taoist practice he had practiced before, he did not need to ponder over and over again like other normal practitioners, and he could slowly master this Taoist art by trying again and again.
For Shu Guan, as long as there is a way to practice, he can learn this Taoist skill immediately.
This can no longer be described as a so-called genius. Among genius practitioners, even those "immortal species" selected by the Seven Immortals Alliance, no matter how quickly they practice Taoism, they must at least have the ability to comprehend a Taoism. The process of Taoism.
But Shu Guan skipped this process directly.
His way of practicing Taoism is more like a kind of unreasonable way that you can master it as long as you want to.
Han Biao nodded as if he understood.
Although he is already an extraordinary being, he still doesn't know how to practice.
"Uncle Han, you are a corpse puppet now. How do you feel compared to before?"
Shu Guan couldn't help but asked curiously.
He had no way of knowing the feeling of changing from a human being to a corpse puppet, so he was naturally a little curious.
And since Han Biao woke up, he has never had a chance to have a good chat with Han Biao.
When Han Biao heard this, he was silent for a moment, and the two green fires in his eyes jumped. Then he picked up a hard pebble on the ground and hit it on the back of his other hand.
The pebbles shattered into a cloud of stone dust.
Han Biao shook his wrist and shook off the stone powder on his wrist.
"no feeling."
He said to Shu Guan with such a wry smile.
"There was no pain, not even the slightest sensation of a mosquito bite."
"So if I have a choice, Lao Han, I still want to be a human being."
"Of course, Brother Shu, as well as Taoist Priest Li, Taoist Priest Mu, you have allowed me, Old Han, to come back to life. Old Han is very grateful."
So Shu Guan also sighed softly.
Perhaps Han Biao will continue to "live" like this forever in the future, and the length of the corpse puppet's "life" will be longer than that of ordinary practitioners. But living without feeling like this will indeed lose a lot of flavor.
"Brother Shu, if you pass through town these days, I would like to go to the city to find a blacksmith shop to make something."
Then Han Biao said this.
"Build what?"
"Throwing knives, Old Han, I still like to use flying knives."
"OK."
Shu Dian nodded.
Then he stood up, glanced towards the upper reaches of the river, raised his hand to look at his watch, smiled and said:
"If the guy hasn't arrived in ten minutes, then he's just lazy today."
As soon as he finished speaking, a white line appeared on the river in the distance. The white line slowly approached them. When they reached the river bank, a four-legged snake crawled out of the river.
The huge body, nearly six meters long, climbed up the river beach with some difficulty. Then the four-legged snake immediately lay down on its back, its limbs spread out softly, and a human word came out of its long mouth.
"It's so boring, I'm so exhausted!"
It speaks human language more and more smoothly now, but its accent has a strong flavor of Jingcheng dialect.
At this time, after the four-legged snake complained feebly, Monaka began to spit out foam.
To be honest, it's really tiring.
Because unlike Shuguan and Han Biao who could easily run over from the river bank, the four-legged snake had been swimming all the way from Jingcheng using the special sneaking method taught to it by its senior brother.
It is really a sport that extremely squeezes the body's potential.
On the first day, the four-legged snake swam eighty kilometers and almost drowned in the river.
The next day, it swam ninety kilometers and finally collapsed from exhaustion. It was all thanks to Shu Guan to drag it ashore from the bottom of the river.
On the third day, the four-legged snake swam a hundred kilometers.
The fourth day is 110 kilometers.
Shuguan stipulated that he should swim ten kilometers more every day.
If you can't finish it, you absolutely can't rest.
At this time, watching the four-legged snake struggling to climb onto the shore, Shu Guan raised his hand and looked at his watch again.
Yes, it was ten kilometers more than yesterday, but the time was nine minutes and forty seconds less.
In fact, he has a deep understanding of the pain of the four-legged snake. After all, he has also experienced the devil's special training from his senior brother.
However, Shu Guan showed no sympathy on his face. He walked over and patted the four-legged snake on the head, and asked lightly:
"No one saw you!"
When a dragon snake walks into the river or sea, it is most afraid of being seen by others, as it may reveal the secret of the world.
"No."
The four-legged snake replied weakly.
"Okay, let's rest for an hour and then continue on the road. Today's goal is 130 kilometers."
Shu Guan continued.
The four-legged snake let out a howl, rolled its huge body on the ground a few times, and shouted:
"If this continues, I'm going to die. No, I have to take a day off today. I really don't have the energy to swim anymore."
"Okay, how about you rest here for a day, and then you can do your best and lie down in that small lake for the rest of your life."
Shu Guan said nonchalantly:
"Either you continue swimming in an hour, all the way east, swim to the end of the river, and enter the sea as a dragon."
"Be it a snake or a dragon, it's your choice!"
After finishing speaking, Shu Guan began to close his eyes and rest his mind. To be honest, he was a little tired after practicing all night.
"I want to lie down, I don't want Jackie Chan."
"I want to go back to Guanli. The small lake is pretty good too."
The four-legged snake continued to lie on the beach and kept humming.
Just an hour later, before Shu Guan could urge him, the four-legged snake turned over on its own, crawled into the river with its teeth bared, and continued swimming toward the east.
Shuguan opened his eyes and smiled slightly.
Just looking at the four-legged snake disappearing under the river, Shu Guan's smile gradually faded, because according to the senior brother's instructions, the first test level of the four-legged snake was about to arrive.
If you pass it, you will be one step closer to becoming Jackie Chan.
If you can't get through, you will die in the river unless you turn back immediately.
If you want to walk across rivers and seas and transform into a dragon, how can you do it just by working hard?
If it were so easy, there would be no need for him to protect him all the way!
Shuguan stood up, patted the dust on his clothes, and said to Han Biao:
"Then let's go too!"
So, Han Biao went to the side and picked up the two huge trolley suitcases, and followed Shu Guan into the distance.
Under the morning sun, a man, a corpse puppet, and a four-legged snake were walking across mountains and rivers, heading east.
At the eastern end of Dahua is the sea.
At the end of the river is Shencheng.
