Yang Jin returned to Pingyang City alone this time. He neither asked Yang Feiyan to accompany him nor followed the urban management committee's daily convoy of supplies back to the city.
First, Yang Feiyan and the others have more important things to be busy with now, and Yang Jin also feels that there is no need to mobilize troops.
After all, this is not the first time he has returned to the city since he went blind, so there is no need to make a fuss.
Now, with his super five senses and strong mental power, and after practicing the Golden Guan Jade Lock Technique, his spirit has been tempered, and he has the ability to shine on external objects in the realm of refining qi and transform into gods. He can reflect external objects and listen to the wind to identify their position. ability.
After this period of continuous familiarity and adaptation, he has basically been able to move without any hindrance. He no longer needs help from others at some simple things and can handle them alone.
It can be said that except for Yang Jin's blindness, his behavior is almost the same as that of a normal person, and he is even much better than a normal person in some aspects.
For more than two months, he had been staying outside the city in order to deal with the matters of subduing Zhang Mingzhi, Zhang Youfu and Fang Laogui, as well as breaking mountains and rocks outside the city and practicing epee sword skills to vent his energy and desires.
But although he stayed outside the city, it didn't mean that he had never returned to Pingyang City. Not only had he gone back secretly, but he had gone back more than once.
After all, as he is now practicing martial arts with high intensity and non-stop dancing with the heavy sword, he consumes a lot of training resources every day.
Regardless of the meat, medicinal diet, or precious medicinal materials that nourish blood and qi, you need to keep up. Otherwise, if you fail to practice martial arts, your body will be exhausted.
Food such as meat is easily available outside the city, but secret medicinal diets and specially prepared precious prescriptions for replenishing qi and blood are not available outside the city.
Therefore, before every six or seven days, he would secretly return to the city. He had already traveled between Pingyang City and Geng Zihao Secret Cave several times.
Every time, he would ask Zhang Jin, Su Rou and the others to prepare the medicinal materials for preparing medicinal meals and infusions for seven or eight days.
He took it outside the city and asked Pei Ying to arrange for someone to make him a medicinal diet and a body-building liquid that replenished blood and qi every day.
He has gone back and forth nearly ten times alone in the past two months. Everything on the path is remembered in his mind. He is very familiar with it. Going back by himself is not a problem at all.
The forest is silent at night, even the birds no longer sing, only the whine coming from the wind blowing through the forest.
But to Yang Jin's ears, the forest was never calm and monotonous. In addition to the sound of the mountain wind blowing through the trees and rocks, there were also the chirping of insects in the grass and the gurgling sound of the mountain spring.
For the sake of convenience, every time he returned to the city, he chose to go back secretly late at night when there was no one around, and this time was no exception.
Because in the eyes of a blind man, there is no day or night at all, and for him, it is more convenient to be in the dark than during the day. After all, he can avoid many people.
Even if Kazuto really started to fight, in the dark night, he would still have an advantage over others by relying on his ability to listen to the wind and identify his position.
Without the hustle and bustle of the day, Yang Jin was able to capture the subtle sounds more clearly in the mountains and forests, and by the way, he could exercise his ear.
These things now have clear images in his mind. Through smell and hearing, he can distinguish the general situation around him and clearly know his location.
Since he had walked more than once, the path back to the city was familiar, and Yang Jin could walk very quickly using Qing Gong.
He is now wearing iron shoes on his feet, and he is not afraid of stepping on traps or other things, so he naturally uses Qinggong and Shenfa without much worry.
Since he lost his sight, Yang Jin replaced the iron tiles on his legs with the iron shoes on his feet that made Pei Ying special.
Firstly, you can increase the weight and practice light kung fu, and secondly, you are not afraid of stepping on traps because you cannot see.
Although he can now illuminate all things and reflect things within one foot away from him, this ability has a certain flaw, that is, it is only effective for things that move or have a unique smell and temperature.
Even if a small, stationary object is in front of him, he cannot picture it in his mind, especially the things under his feet, which he has no feeling at all.
Yang Jin guessed that his current ability to illuminate the outside world was only because his mental power was too strong and his five senses were too sharp. It was not a real superpower.
Therefore, for safety reasons, he asked Pei Ying to have the iron shoes on his feet specially cast according to the size of his feet.
Said to be iron shoes, they are actually like riding boots. They are made entirely of fine steel and are unified as a whole. They cover everything below his knees. A layer of cloth is sewn on the outside, so they look like ordinary boots.
These special iron shoes are very heavy, weighing about forty pounds each. The weight of the two is about the same as the iron tiles on his lower legs that he used to carry weights to practice Qinggong.
So after he put them on, he didn't feel any discomfort. On the contrary, after putting on these iron shoes, he had a lot less worries about walking and moving.
He can't see now, and he can't distinguish between traps under his feet or things that are harmful to his feet, so he pretended to be lame and used crutches to explore the way.
However, with this pair of iron shoes made of fine steel, he has nothing to fear. No matter what is under his feet, he dares to step on it.
"The bright moon shines among the pines, and the clear spring flows over the rocks."
It was quiet at night outside, and there were no noisy voices. Yang Jin, who was walking in the forest, listened to the sound of wind and water in the forest, and his mood became calm.
His eyes are invisible, but this makes his hearing sharper, allowing him to hear farther and distinguish more clearly.
Not far away there was the sound of running water, which was the mountain spring flowing.
During this time, I have been cutting rocks in the mountains and haven't washed up for a long time. Now that Yang Jin heard the mountain spring flowing through him, he couldn't help but want to go there and wash up before returning to the city.
Although he couldn't see it, scenes appeared in Yang Jin's mind: gurgling spring water flowing down the mountain, falling down after reaching a cliff, forming a small waterfall.
The long-term impact formed a pool under the cliff, and the water fell into the pool and caused waves. The spring water continued to flow down, forming a small stream under the pool, winding through the jungle and heading into the distance...
Feeling the beautiful picture in his mind, Yang Jin couldn't help but relax. He tripped over a protruding tree root under his feet, staggered, and struck his head towards a branch blocking the way.
Although he couldn't see it with his eyes, through the sound of the wind, a picture flashed in Yang Jin's mind. There was something like a branch lying in front of him.
Seeing that he bumped into the branches growing out of each other, his left foot instinctively stepped out in strange arcs in the air, and landed on the tree trunk next to it.
He turned his body sideways, avoiding the branches with his head, and caught his left shoulder on the branches. With a "click", the branches were broken by him, avoiding the disaster of breaking his head.
“The greatest goodness is like water. Water is good for all things and does not compete with it. It is what everyone hates, so it is close to the Tao.
Live in a good place, have a good heart, be kind and benevolent, speak good words and have good faith, govern well, do good things and be able to do good things at the right time. The husband does not fight, so there is no need for you. "
Yang Jin broke the branch without stopping, listening to the sound of running water from the mountain spring, and thinking of the unintentional movement of his body just now when he was in danger, he thought of this sentence in the "Tao Te Ching" for no reason.
He felt something in his heart, and the steps under his feet changed accordingly, as gentle and graceful as running water, moistening things silently.
Now he has not refined his Qi, and has no inner Qi. Originally, he only relied on physical brute force to perform Qing Gong, although his speed was not slow due to his extraordinary physique.
But every time he performed Qing Gong, there was a lot of movement under his feet. At this moment, he realized something, and when he performed Qing Kung again, there was no sound at all.
"When Cao Fang taught me Qing Gong before, he said that the fundamental point of all Qing Gong and body techniques in the martial arts is that the force changes with the force of the situation.
But the top light kung fu masters in today's martial arts can reach the point where they can float across the 100-foot-long Yangtze River without borrowing any foreign objects.
Even Cao Fang and his master, who had a fifth-level cultivation back then, could use the extremely light skill of "Ling Kong Ferry" to plunder hundreds of feet in one step!
However, no matter how strong the inner energy is in the body, it cannot stay above the river for long. After all, humans are not like birds and fish. They have neither wings nor can they swim across the waves.
It is to stir up the inner energy and true energy, and radically change the water potential. When the water potential changes, the force is generated, so it can be borrowed. The same is true for people in an empty place. The inner energy and true energy are emitted from the outside of the body, and the wind changes, which can be controlled.
The superior Qinggong is good at borrowing external forces, just like a bird flying in the sky or a fish swimming in the water. Those who are good at borrowing external forces are close to the Tao. Those who are highly accomplished are calm and good at riding the wind.
The Qing Gong body techniques I am practicing now are all the most basic Qing Gong Zongqiao methods taught to me by Cao Fang. Although simple, they are the basic entry-level methods of Qing Gong.
In the practice of Qinggong Shenfa, I have the most pure basics. Therefore, although I have no inner strength and true energy to borrow, I can still be several times faster than the average seven or eight-level master with my extraordinary physique that is far beyond ordinary people. more than.
Just now, I put my foot in front of the tree, and my intention was like flowing clouds. In fact, I used the force to exert force, and used the force to move a thousand catties. It not only has the Taoist idea of the best thing like water, focusing on the softness of Qi, and using softness to overcome hardness, but also has the meaning of keeping quiet and invigorating Qi. The method of harmony! "
At this moment, an idea flashed in Yang Jin's mind, and his heart suddenly became clear. Following the insights in his heart, he simplified the footwork under his feet, took advantage of the situation, and continuously coordinated and perfected the Qinggong footwork under his feet.
At this time, he didn't care about finding any mountain springs to wash in. Instead, he continued to perform Qinggong according to the insights in his heart, constantly taking advantage of the situation to accumulate strength, and follow the curve.
He continued to coordinate and perfect his Qinggong steps with the many insights that arose in his mind. He was afraid that the clear understanding that had just arisen in his mind would be fleeting, but he did not know that he had gradually deviated from the original direction.
At this time, Yang Jin only wanted to digest and absorb all the insights in his heart and turn them into his own martial arts foundation and enhance his own strength. How could he care about the path direction?
