Qi Jing and his party finally entered the mountain.
I heard a woodcutter I met on the road say that although the mountain forest to the west of the county town looks steep and continuous with no beginning or end, it is actually the remnant of Linshan Mountain, with a radius of only more than 20 miles, and is called Yushan Mountain.
Entering Yushan from the direction of Huaide County, and walking westward for more than ten miles along an ancient mountain road called the Fish Road, you will reach the most dangerous Yuji Ridge.
There is a mountain temple on the ridge, which has been abandoned for many years.
The mountains and forests further to the west are no longer the boundaries of Huaide County, or even belong to Linzhou, but are the jurisdiction of Qingyun County, Ruizhou.
"Didn't you say it's just a leftover vein? This remaining mountain is much steeper than Xiaosongshan, which is also leftover from Linshan Mountain!"
Jiao Yulang climbed up on his hands and knees while complaining energetically.
The previous so-called fish passage, which was completely bare of stones and could only accommodate one person, was already dangerous. The fish spine in front of us was actually as narrow as a fish fin and as narrow as a knife edge, almost straight up and down, with clouds and mist on both sides. The green and deep valley is so deep that one glance down makes one feel dizzy.
The three of them climbed halfway up, head to toe, foot to head, when the cold and clammy mountain wind blew across their necks. Their whole bodies felt chilly, except for the palms of their hands that suddenly had a layer of oily sweat.
It's no wonder, as long as you can't fly, anyone who comes will get trembling.
Qi Jingzhi was still leading the way. Hearing the complaint of the little kid under his feet, Qi Jingzhi said without looking back: "If it's like what the woodcutter said, the other end is steeper. You can climb up later. You can stay here." That mountain temple is waiting for me and Old Wei. Well, Xiaobai has to lend it to me."
How could Jiao Yulang agree: "How can that be done? Xiaobai can't live without me!"
Qi Jingzhi was too lazy to pay attention to him. He had already been in danger once in the Liyuan Silver Cellar before, so naturally he couldn't make the same mistake again this time.
He stopped talking and silently started the Whooping Crane Technique, focusing on adjusting his breathing.
Although Qi Jingzhi learned this method for a very short time, he would try it whenever he had some free time. Now he is very familiar with it. Once he used it, he felt that his body suddenly became light, his hands and feet suddenly exerted strength, and his whole body immediately It jumped up a lot.
When Jiao Yulang heard the sound of strong wind above his head, he immediately raised his head in surprise and looked at the back of Qi's brother who was rising rapidly. He couldn't help but marveled: "My dear, you don't need any crane shoes from the immortal, as long as you stick a pair of wings on your back." , you can fly to the sky immediately!"
Jin Dao Wei had never heard of the allusion of Crane Lu, and naturally he would not associate it with the "Immortal Feather Sutra", but it did not prevent him from seeing Qi Jingzhi's vigorous movement and extraordinary charm at this moment. He immediately followed suit and praised: "It really looks like A big bird that's about to fly! This person has clearly practiced boxing to the core, and it's no worse than those ordinary martial arts masters!"
In the opinion of this East China Sea tycoon, the charlatan sorcerers have more or less had their bloodline constitution changed by foreign objects, and they have unpredictable spells in their hands. They can fight far better than ordinary martial arts masters. For boxing, swordsmanship, etc. , most of them just try it lightly and just try to get enough. Only a few are really willing to work hard, and it is even rarer to be able to practice it to such a profound level. Little does anyone know that Qi Jingzhi only knows the crane shape.
Qi Jingzhi faintly heard the admiration of the two people, but he became alert in his heart: "Have I only practiced boxing for a few days? Even if I have benefited a lot from a few epiphanies, can it really be better than the years of hard work of ordinary warriors?"
"As a practice method, "The Immortal Feather Sutra" is different from ordinary martial arts? Flying Crane Fist? Screaming Crane Technique? Or Wing Washing Strength? Or should you recite the general outline of the sutra silently while running the technique and imagine yourself as a real bird? white crane?"
Qi Jingzhi has never seen martial arts skills, so he has no way to compare them, but he is also vaguely aware that the things he is practicing alone do not seem to be truly extraordinary, and he may not even be the top among ordinary warriors.
"Lu Yunzi talks about strengthening the body and soul. It goes without saying that strengthening the body, but I don't know where to start talking about strengthening the soul. Is it because I am not practicing the "Immortal Feather Sutra" properly, or am I so low-level that I cannot sense the changes in my own soul? "
"I can successfully comprehend the "Immortal Feather Sutra". It can also be said that my character and qualifications are very consistent with the sutra. I can use that domineering sword to defeat the tiger, which is mostly due to the life-fighting method that ignites the soul and blood. . I don’t know where Lu Yunzi got this method. It will do great harm to himself, but
There is undoubtedly a huge increase in Wing Washing Strength. Is this just a coincidence? ".
"There is also the saying that the heart shakes like a dancing crane, and the bones emerge like a flying dragon... What kind of magical method is recorded in the missing scriptures of the "Immortal Feather Sutra" that can help monks reach such a mysterious realm in one leap?"
Countless thoughts surged in Qi Jingzhi's mind, and he connected them one by one.
The first major realm of practice is called bone refining to strengthen life. The so-called bone refining is to strengthen the muscles and bones externally and nourish the heart and bones internally. It can be done at the same time and does not need to be separated in sequence. Strong muscles and strong bones, and manifested heart and bones are the first level of great achievement.
The first level of Xianyu Zhuangming Technique involves stretching the muscles and pulling out the bones, practicing Feihe Fist, walking with the fists, kneading the whole body, and laying the foundation for refining the body step by step.
The second level is to cleanse the marrow and cut off the hair, practice the Crane method, sit and lie down with breathing, and use subtle energy to cleanse the internal organs and bone marrow.
The third level focuses on the softness of Qi, and is used to wash the wings of strength. Hardness and softness are combined in a harmonious and harmonious way. Once the mind comes, the strength, energy, and blood are everywhere.
"The third level of external refining begins with tempering the muscles and bones, constantly polishing strength, transporting qi and blood, and finally pouring the mind into it, like arms and fingers. The internal refining method is incomplete, with only one sentence that seems to describe the heart and bones."
"My heart... my heart..."
In a flash of thought, Qi Jingzhi put his hands on the rock above his head. His strength and blood suddenly penetrated his arms, and his whole body immediately rose more than ten feet.
Because he had the most intuitive experience of Wing Washing Power in advance, although the young man has not completely completed the foundation-building process of stretching tendons, pulling out bones, washing marrow and cutting hair, he has been able to barely use this power, but only if he has been beaten. Through the arms.
Every time you raise your arms and leap, it is a process of mobilizing your strength and transporting your energy and blood.
Qi Jingzhi concentrated on the realization, and felt that the tumbling changes in it were quite similar to those after the soul energy and blood were ignited that day, except that the former was a deliberate operation, while the latter was a spontaneous surge after the internal energy boiled.
"Well, the loss when I activated the Wing-Cleaning Power on my own was actually very small, but the power was far different from when I killed the tiger spirit. In addition to the difference in quantity of the strength, energy, and blood mobilized, it was also due to the fact that it was not integrated into the soul. force."
"While in the silver cellar, the changes in Lu Yunzi's residual thoughts simultaneously triggered the changes in the soul corpse. It can be seen that there is an extremely close connection between people's thoughts and souls. How to use this connection may be the "Immortal Feather Sutra" The missing link?"
Thinking of this, Qi Jingzhi suddenly stopped, looked down at Jiao Yulang who was more than ten feet behind him, and asked in a loud voice: "What is the second great realm of cultivation?"
The little kid raised his head, and although he didn't know why, he still answered concisely and without thinking, "The second stage is called the communion between heaven and man!"
The voice coming from the mountain wind was a little erratic, but clear enough: "The heart and bones are accomplished, the spiritual sense is opened! Breathe the morning glow and drink the nectar, control the white deer and turn into a green dragon!"
Qi Jingzhi listened to his ears and felt that every word was mysterious, like hearing thunder.
Thinking about it, the second threshold after the heart and soul is the so-called spiritual awareness, which sounds inseparable from things like thoughts and souls.
As for inhaling the morning glow and drinking the nectar, it immediately reminded him of Liu Muzhi's ability to capture the beauty of the day.
"The cultivation concepts and methods of each school seem to be very different and have clear barriers. In fact, they are all about cultivating the body externally and cultivating the mind internally. The so-called control of the white deer and the transformation of the blue dragon shows that among the two, the influence on the mind The cultivation and control of the soul seems to be more important."
"This is not surprising. How can a timid and weak-minded person see the truth, unite his heart and soul, and gain a glimpse of the mysteries of the world?"
The next moment, the fifteen-year-old boy showed his rare heart and let out a hearty and long laugh.
The laughter suddenly became high-pitched and passionate before it stopped, turning into a roar of a crane that cracked rocks and pierced the clouds, piercing the sky and mountain wind, and spread far away.
In the sound of cranes chirping, Qi Jingzhi fluttered his arms like wings, and flew over the last few dozen feet of steep rocks like a lightning bolt. Like a white crane soaring through the clouds, he gracefully climbed to the highest peak on Yuji Ridge!
