Jiang Shuo's heart moved, and he pressed the palm of his right hand on the cliff, mobilizing the yin and yang energy of the whole body to converge on the right palm along the various meridians, but he felt the internal force surging in the palm.
Jiang Shuo first practiced the Jade Jue Magic Kung Fu in order to disperse the yin and yang energy of the two dragons, the black and white dragons. He accidentally learned the method of dispersing the energy that is difficult for ordinary masters to learn. The internal energy is dispersed throughout the limbs and bones, and the energy is used to perform the energy extremely quickly. However, Although it is convenient to access the internal power in this way, it is difficult to gather it together. When encountering a real master, the internal power is often inferior to the competition.
In fact, it is difficult for people who practice martial arts to disperse and easily gather internal strength. The senior who wrote the Jade Jue chapter never thought that there would be a person who does not know martial arts and has peerless internal strength to practice this technique. Therefore, when writing the Jade Jue, he only taught The method of spreading Qi is not mentioned, but the method of gathering Qi is not written. It is not that gathering Qi is not important, but it is that people who have never thought that they can practice Jade Art cannot gather Qi. The last chapter of Jade Jue cherishes words like gold, so naturally it will not waste pen and ink to write about the basic skills that everyone understands.
However, Jiang Shuo had never learned the most basic internal skills, whether it was Jade Jue or Shenshu Sword, they were all extremely advanced martial arts. If Zhao Rui hadn't been there to guide him, Jiang Shuo would never have been able to learn them by himself. Will do. The sword moves were thanks to Pei Min's guidance. Although he had ulterior motives, it was an indisputable fact that Jiang Shuo's sword skills came from the Pei family's swordsmanship.
And Jiang Shuo didn't learn the method of gathering Qi and practicing Qi until he met Maha Yan this time. Although Maha Yan didn't teach Jiang Shuo the mental method of Qi training, this was what Jiang Shuo didn't need to learn the most. He had something in his body. If the hundred-year inner elixir of the Black and White Dragon King could be used completely for his own use, how could anyone in the world have such magical power?
Mahayana's Yi Jin Wai Jing is a wonderful method for practicing internal martial arts outside of Tianzhu. It is very simple to get started. No matter how smart or stupid, no matter what the talent, everyone can practice it, but the effect of concentrating the mind and energy is better than that of the internal martial arts of the Central Plains. It is much slower, but Jiang Shuo does not need to rely on external meridians to practice Qi. Through the connection with external meridians, he has unconsciously mastered the method of quickly moving internal energy in the body, converging from various meridians to one point.
From this point of view, it is not an exaggeration to say that Jiang Shuo is now "changing his tendons and marrow".
Jiang Shuo pressed his hand on the rock, closed his eyes and concentrated. The techniques of "Guan Qi" and "Control Qi" taught to him by Mr. Zhang Guo had helped him break the huge rocks on the reef at the bottom of the Sanmen Gorge of the Yellow River. At this moment, he was gathering his inner strength while carefully comprehending this place. The Qi of the mountain rocks suddenly exerted force.
The sound of "clicking" was heard endlessly, and when the sound of the rock cracking became louder and denser, Jiang Shuo suddenly jumped back and shouted: "Get back quickly!"
The bears and apes didn't need his greetings and had already hid behind. Mahayan was so absorbed in watching that he actually ignored Jiang Shuo's warning. Jiang Shuo hurriedly jumped to his side, lifted him up lightly, and flew back with him. After walking more than ten feet, the fine cracking sounds could no longer be heard. It was like a "rumbling" thunder came from the ground, and the small mountains above the entrance were suddenly cracked and collapsed.
Yellow-gray dust pillars rose into the sky and quickly sprayed out horizontally. Jiang Shuo, Mahayan and Ma Xiong Baiyuan all knew it was unsafe and ran back a hundred steps away before they saw that the smoke and dust seemed to have reached their limit. .
Looking again after the dust has cleared, it seems that the entire mountain has moved downwards, just in time to block the entire entrance of the cave. The valley where the Ice-free Spring is located is surrounded by mountains. Each mountain is higher than the other, except for the golden eagle. In addition to being able to come and go freely, it is no longer possible for humans or animals to enter the Ice-Free Spring Valley through this tunnel.
Mahayan laughed loudly and said: "Very good, very good. The boy has made some progress."
Jiang Shuo didn't know whether the "improvement" he mentioned was referring to his inner strength cultivation or his understanding of the Buddhist teachings of "breaking away from others." Mahayan gave Jiang Shuo another cloth bag and said, "This is Then I will return all the items that were scattered on you when you fell off the cliff."
Jiang Shuo took the bag and opened it to look at it. His clothes had long been torn by Mahayan. In the bag were his belongings, no money or silk. There was a quilt belt, but the swords hanging on it had been lost that year. There were only tools for daily use such as sharpening stones, Qibizhen, Kejue, syringes, flint bags, and an oil paper bag. I felt that there was a hard and round thing inside, and it turned out to be the treasure of the leader of the Jianghu Alliance. , Jiang Shuo almost forgot about this thing, but he didn't expect it to be well stored in this cloth bag.
Before he could take a closer look, he saw that Mahayan was already striding towards the south.
The three horses and bears actually seemed to know that they were separated today, and they did not follow Mahayan as usual. Jiang Shuo could not help but froze in place as he was either chasing after them or not.
Jiang Shuo shouted: "Mahayan, will we meet again?"
Mahayan smiled and said: "We will meet if we are destined, but next time we meet, boy, don't look like that half-dead embarrassment again."
He walked away without looking back and sang a verse: "When fate comes, it gathers; when fate goes, it disperses; when fate arises, it disappears; when fate falls, it becomes empty; all things arise because of fate..."
Jiang Shuo seemed to understand but when he wanted to ask again, Mahayan had already gone far away.
The golden bear stood up and roared, then turned and walked westward. The two young horses and bears still followed it habitually, but they were driven away by it baring its teeth. The two bears took a few steps back and then quickly chased after it. After doing this three times, the female bear really showed her sharp teeth and bit them. The two bears really didn't dare to get closer and just slowly followed behind the female bear.
The mother bear suddenly started running. The horse bear is called the horse bear because it can run as fast as a galloping horse. The two cubs also started running closely, but they did not dare to chase too close, so the distance would inevitably become wider and wider. Far.
Jiang Shuo knew that eventually the mother bear and the cub would separate, and even the pair of brothers would eventually go their separate ways. This was due to physical nature, and no one could change it.
In an instant, only Jiang Shuo and Bai Yuan were left. Bai Yuan looked up at Jiang Shuo, and Jiang Shuo said, "Brother Bai, let's go too."
He thought to himself that Brother Bai and I have known each other since childhood, so we shouldn’t need to separate, right? At this time, he could no longer ask the Mahayana, so he made up his mind. Unless Brother Bai left on his own, I would not be so lonely if I walked with him.
Jiang Shuo then encountered another problem, where to go?
The ice-free spring is among the vast mountains. The only way out for Jiang Shuo is to the Xiaolongsha Glacier. He leads the white ape on the run. Of course, he is carrying the white ape to boost his energy and speed, while the white ape is almost Without skipping a beat, Jiang Shuo's internal strength and lightness skills were at their peak, and he would reach the glacier in a few days.
Jiang Shuo didn't go to Hexagonal Dragon either. He was afraid that Hexagonal Dragon would ask him where the others had gone and he wouldn't be able to answer. So he would just massage what He Yan said: "Destiny will be destroyed when it arises, and it will be empty when it falls."
But where should I go? Looking for Xiang'er? But where to find it? He didn't even know how to get back to the Central Plains.
Jiang Shuo decided to use the stupidest method. More than two years ago, he and Dugu Xiang panicked and came to the glacier. Although they didn't know the road, they roughly knew that they were going north, and Mahayan had told him that he could not enter the mainland through the glacier. Hexi land in the Tang Dynasty, he went south to look for the West Sea. It should not be difficult to find the West Sea in such a vast desert. As long as he found the West Sea, he could follow the road back to Shibao City and return to the Tang Dynasty through Shibao City. Now, as for where to go after returning to the Tang Dynasty, it is not something I can think of now. I can only take it one step at a time.
That day, Long Xiangma only took a few hours to run from the West Sea to the glacier, but Jiang Shuo and Bai Yuan took three days. In addition to Bai Yuan's weak legs, it was also because they didn't know the road. Fortunately, it was already summer. On that day, there was no need to worry about eating on the plateau. Jiang Shuo followed the method of a horse and a bear catching a hare. He dug out a rabbit hole to catch a hare and ate it. After roasting it, he ate it with the white ape.
On this day, when he arrived at a big river, Jiang Shuo thought, could this be the Wuhaqu river that flows into the West Sea? If it is really this river, you can find the West Sea by following the river all the way east.
Thinking of this, Jiang Shuo couldn't help but perked up. He took the white ape and walked eastward along the river for a long time. He still couldn't see the west sea, but the sun had already set in the west. It was about to get dark. Jiang Shuo had a magical power, and the white ape returned. They were very alert. They had been sleeping in the open for several days, but they were not afraid of sleeping in the wild. When they were looking for a place to stay tonight, they suddenly saw a small earth city standing on the plain on the south bank of the river.
This was the first time Jiang Shuo saw a man-made thing since he left the Ice-Free Spring. He couldn't help but feel a little excited and said to Bai Yuan, "Brother Bai, let's go to this city to have a look."
The white ape barked "Zhi Zhi" twice to express his agreement. One man and one ape headed towards the Tucheng. However, as he got closer, he discovered that the Tucheng was two hundred steps square, and the rammed earth on the outside had collapsed. It looked dilapidated. Unbearable, they entered the city from the north gate of the Tucheng. The so-called city gate was nothing more than a hollow. The wooden gate had long fallen among the weeds and was rotten.
When I entered the city, I was even more disappointed. It was a huge earth city, but it was empty inside. The ground was a plain earth platform, but there were no structures on it. There were neither earth walls, stone walls, nor wooden beams or pillars. If they are all rotten, the two city gates are lying in the long grass. If there are buildings in the city, it is impossible for all the wood to be rotten to the point where no trace can be seen. Besides, the masonry and tiles will not rot. Things cannot be seen in the city.
This earthen city exudes a strange atmosphere, but Jiang Shuo and Bai Yuan are not afraid. The wind is strong today, and it will definitely become stronger after nightfall. Although this earthen city is dilapidated, it has earthen walls that can block the wind after all. , Jiang Shuo leaned against a complete earth wall facing away from the wind, first dug a pit for the stove, and then together with Bai Yuan picked up a lot of dead branches and grass, and lit a bonfire.
The wild wind on the plateau is very powerful, especially where the terrain is flat and there are no mountains, rivers or trees to block it. The wind is extremely fast and can even blow away wild yaks. Therefore, it can be said that we are very lucky to find Tucheng as a camping ground to take shelter from the wind. Jiang Shuo and Bai Yuan leaned against the earthen wall, facing the bonfire, listening to the howling wind outside, getting stronger and stronger, but they were very safe inside the earthen wall.
Jiang Shuo had nothing to do, so he took out the oil paper package of the eight-inch bronze mirror from his arms. When he opened it and looked at it, the mirror was still very bright. Jiang Shuo couldn't help but admire Mo Jianke's craftsmanship. He thought that Pei Min said that there was still something in the mirror. Hiding another layer of secrets, but don’t know where they are? He had been playing with it over and over in front of the campfire every night for the past few days, but he still couldn't figure it out.
At this moment, Jiang Shuo suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves coming down the wind. Two horses rode side by side and quickly approached Tucheng. A young man shouted: "Hey, Master, hasn't Fuqi City been abandoned for a long time?" ?How could there be anyone?"
Jiang Shuo was shocked when he heard this and quickly put the bronze mirror back into his arms...
Some people died, but not completely...
