The wind blows with thunder, and the rain is like fog.
The filaments of smoked willows are densely packed into a tide, like a waterfall hanging from the sky, bringing a moist atmosphere.
And in the rain curtain, the dull, rolling silver thunder awakened the creatures, and also awakened the vitality contained in the earth.
"It's thundering and raining, go home and put away your clothes~"
In the long streets and alleys, everyone can feel the freshness, the release from depression, and the comfortable mood in the thunderstorm, gradually emerging from the depths of everyone's heart.
On the roof of Xihe Tower, Xiang Ji lay on his back among the tiles, his limbs numb and numb, and hazy white smoke evaporated in the fine and cool rain.
In his spiritual world, the long-dormant Guangwu fragments were stimulated by the thunder, and finally started to move. The uncertain golden light expanded, stirring up circles of circular ripples, and the stirred Beiming Divine Sea roared, setting off horizontal waves. The sky is wild.
It seems to be looking for a carrier that can be integrated, wandering around in the spiritual world, trying to break free, merge with the long knife held tightly in the outside world, and transform into a divine weapon of light, but it is turned into a purple galaxy by the Yi Ming Diagram. It was tightly sealed, blocking all directions.
The fragment of Guangwu cannot leave this spiritual world, and there is only one carrier that it can be integrated with, which is the source and core of this spiritual world, the soul belonging to Xiang Ji!
If the outside world knew about it, they would definitely find it unbelievable. Since the revival of Guangwu, the fragments have always been fused with weapons. This is the first time that the soul is forced to fuse with the restriction of external forces. It is unheard of.
"The fragments of Guangwu want to fuse with my soul? This...my Guangwu Divine Weapon becomes myself?!"
Even Xiang Ji was surprised and speechless at this situation.
But the Guangwu fragment ignored so much and crashed directly into the uppermost sky of the spiritual world, blending into the hazy mist.
In the fog, scenes flickered and intertwined, including Xiang Ji's fifteen years of hunting, practicing, and growing up in the mountains and forests, as well as his past lives, symbolizing his spiritual will.
Buzz! In an instant, the golden light rotated, driving the mist like a gear, constantly breaking up and reorganizing, gradually gathering into a vague human shape, with the head, arms and legs condensed into a crude human frame.
Even in the boiling North Sea water below, the shadow of the big fish has solidified a bit, and the outline of the body has been filled in by 30%. The fins and tail can already be seen, and the shadow of the head also has lines. Figure achieves a breakthrough.
"This is like my other body!"
Xiang Ji Yuanshen jumped up tentatively, opening and closing his hands, which seemed not to be much different from the physical body in the outside world.
However, it seems that the reason for the lack of mental strength is that the body formed by the condensed spirit has only a human shape. There is no hair, facial features, flesh and blood, etc. It is completely empty. From a distance, there is only the outline of a humanoid glowing with white light.
"What is so magical about this remains to be explored, but the most obvious improvement is that my mental strength has doubled, my mental martial arts have made breakthroughs, and my visualization charts have become more solid.
When fed back to the physical body, the reaction is faster, the five senses are sharper, the understanding is higher, and there is also a way to improve mental power like 'forging a soldier'.
Moreover, I seem to have a feeling that the body of the soul can... manifest out of the body? "
After groping for a while, Xiang Ji roughly understood the changes after merging the Guangwu fragments. The combination of the two made it like a physical body, able to grow continuously like a weapon, and even had some of the legendary ability of 'soul out of body'.
If it truly manifests into the world, wouldn't there be two of him? Taking action at the same time, the combat power will be greatly improved.
The next moment, he tried to let go of himself following this 'out-of-body' feeling. When his soul body reached out, it actually came out of the ancestral orifice between the eyebrows of his physical body!
If any pedestrians saw this scene, they would probably be stunned and shout that it is haunted. How could there be glowing arms sticking out from people's foreheads? It's almost as good as those "immortals" with magical powers in Shan Hai Zhi Yi.
Then, the arm swayed, like a solid body, and the outline of a glowing upper body appeared immediately, emerging from the center of the eyebrows. Although it had no eyes, it could be felt that it was looking at the surroundings. His arms can even catch the 'rain' from the sky and hold the knife on the side.
However, this kind of out-of-body transformation consumes a lot of mental energy, and the soul cannot leave the physical body within one foot. The movements of the two are consistent. Whatever the soul does, the physical body will react immediately. It has limitations and cannot be reached temporarily. When it comes to 'doing two things at once', the meaning is completely different. It is equivalent to having an extra trump card that can reverse the situation at a critical moment.
"Although I was struck by lightning, I also used Guangwu fragments. If I become a second-level martial artist, my muscle strength will increase, and my ability to resist blows will increase. My Yangtze River Triple Wave can no longer only hit one blow per hour, but It can be used continuously, and the more enemies there are, the better.
Nowadays, my martial arts has a connecting bridge. It can be used to attack when advancing, and to defend when retreating. It can be combined and unified. "
Overjoyed, Xiang Ji's soul shone, and his lying body couldn't help but grin. Although he was struck by lightning while practicing his sword, it was a blessing in disguise and he gained a lot of benefits.
Uh-huh!
After feeling the difference between heaven and earth for a moment with his spiritual power, his out-of-body soul immediately returned to his physical body. The body lying on his back on the roof began to move again. Xiang Ji opened his eyes and could feel his spirit. The power can already spread from the center of the eyebrows, affecting the whole body within one foot!
In a moment, the illusory waves condensed by his mental power surged continuously, sweeping around him within a foot, and there was a huge shadow lingering under the water, which was unfathomable.
Boom~ Under the influence of this wave, all the dust, soil, sand, stones, leaves, vegetation, etc. within one foot were swept up and floated in the air as if being carried by a whirlwind, rising and falling, even the sunlight shooting down from the clouds. It was distorted and dispersed into a mottled spectrum, reflected on the illusory sea.
So close to Beiming, the sea embraces all rivers!
You must know that in order to unleash your energy through the Eight Classics of Martial Arts, you must at least be at the level of a three-level martial artist with strings of muscles and veins! However, there is obviously a difference between the two. The distance the energy can be released can reach ten feet, or even a hundred feet. However, the current spiritual power can only cover the whole body within one foot, and it will have no effect if it exceeds three meters.
And the scouring Beiming Divine Sea seemed real, and the sound of the rushing waves could be clearly heard.
If there is a martial artist here, he will definitely be affected by the spiritual martial arts, and his will will be subdued. He really thinks that he is in the North Sea, stepping within a foot, being washed by the waves, and the spirit is reflected back to the physical body, and 'what he thinks' becomes Really, the physical body is really affected and shackles.
Using this to protect himself, Xiang Ji can influence the opponent's spirit as long as he fights within one foot, creating flaws and opportunities to kill with one strike. He is more skillful and powerful than when dealing with the three tigers in Panshan.
"Guangwu fragments are so mysterious. In the past, fusing weapons to create magical weapons has become an inherent impression that restricts me. Obviously it is more than that. Any carrier will develop in different directions. Yes, just like Lu Bu's Chi in the Legend of the Emperor. The rabbit horse is the fragments of Guangwu fused with the flesh body to create the unique Red Rabbit Armor.
As for fused weapons, the improvement in strength is huge and obvious, and the advantage is speed; while when integrated into the soul like me, the strength is improved slowly but with a long lasting aftertaste, the advantage is potential, in different directions, no distinction is made, it only depends on the person who uses it. "
After some adaptation, he couldn't help but recall the special changes in the history of the Three Kingdoms in the Emperor's Legend. Sun Jian got a piece of Guangwu, which triggered the sky thunder. Combined with the "Ancient Ingot Sword", he created a weapon that could trigger the sky thunder to supplement himself. , and then can release the Guangwu Divine Weapon of Purple Thunder Fighting - Guangwu Thunder Sword.
And now he has also triggered the sky thunder, but it is the sky thunder that enters the body, rather than the fusion knife, allowing the Guangwu fragments to fuse with the soul and spiritual will. In other words, Xiang Ji's current Guangwu Divine Weapon is his Yuanshen, the Yuanshen magic weapon who practices the Kunyu Diagram of Beiming!
It's just that the strength of his soul now is far from being comparable to those of the magic weapons, but it has also promoted breakthroughs in spiritual martial arts, and the sea of northern darkness he visualizes in his mind has expanded in scope and become clearer.
Next, if you want to increase the strength of the fragments, there are two methods. One is to make a breakthrough in cultivation. The physical body feeds back to the soul, and the nourishment will naturally increase the boat, but the progress is slow; the other is to devour the world's 'ore treasures' , absorbing other 'sharp weapon essences', and even 'treasure weapon auras' or other light weapon fragments, the progress is fast but the risk is high and it is not easy to obtain.
Even in the villages below Zhuo County, only Mr. Wang, who has an extraordinary family background, has collected a piece. It was a gift from a good friend in the past. He himself has a close relationship with the county captain Wang Qian, which is obviously not simple.
Looking at other villages, it is unheard of and unseen. The hundreds of refined weapons in Zhuo County also have names.
"The road ahead is broad, but I can't move right now. Should I lie here until dark?"
Suddenly, Xiang Ji realized that he was still sore and numb and couldn't move. No one knew that he was struck by lightning while practicing on the roof. What should he do?
You can't lie here until night and then dawn.
The news in Zhuo County became lively after that day. Crossing rivers and seas, Chu Shanhe was struck by lightning while practicing swordsmanship, and his body was found lying on the roof for a day and night...
"Hey, you kid, you just practice swordsmanship, and you have to practice on the roof during thunderstorms. Even if you practice on the roof, you still have to hold an iron sword so high, with trees next to it. Isn't this just looking for hacks? It's common sense. All forgotten."
Fortunately, after a while, Dr. Huang came over and saw Xiang Ji lying stiffly, raising his eyebrows with a strange expression.
On a thundering and raining day, he still carried an iron knife and wandered to the highest place, which was a good way to commit suicide.
"Neglect, haha, negligence."
Xiang Ji laughed awkwardly. He couldn't say that he had a sudden whim and practiced special skills to make himself like this.
When Old Doctor Huang heard this, his eyes flickered slightly, and a thought came to his mind: "That wave just now is not wrong, the Guangwu fragment is on his body, but... alas!"
Somehow, he stood there for several breaths, then sighed, picked up Xiang Ji's body, jumped off the roof, and returned to the wing.
Then, I saw Ade sticking his head out of room three, showing a suspicious look. Seeing that nothing happened, he retreated back and went to practice with peace of mind.
In Room B No. 1, Dr. Huang took out a row of bottles and jars from the bag on his back, selected some herbs from them, and applied them all over Xiang Ji's body. A cooling sensation suddenly came to him and attached to the burned body. Go up, making his brows suddenly relax, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"This time is also a lesson. Cure your random temper. You will gain something on weekdays, be satisfied with your ambitions, and become more casual in your actions.
Although it is human nature, you should also pay attention to one or two things. In the future, when you go out and travel around the world, no one will be watching you all the time. What if you encounter bandits who seek wealth and death, and rob homes and homes like just now? good?
At that time, it was useless even if you had great opportunities, no matter how good your qualifications, and no matter how great your background was. If you died, you would be dead, and nothing would be left. "
While applying it, Dr. Huang talked nonchalantly, suggesting some ways to protect himself while traveling in the world.
In this world, there is no shortage of desperate people. As long as the benefits are big enough, they can trample on anything or ignore anything.
Xiang Ji listened quietly, the drizzle was falling outside the window, the dewdrops were translucent on the branches and leaves, a few birds stayed under the canopy of the tree, chirping softly, the house was filled with a strong fragrance of medicine, the old man's voice was soft, everything seemed peaceful and just right.
The footsteps downstairs, the guests' conversations, and the waiter's shouts gradually became distant.
Unknowingly, he fell into a deep sleep, feeling relaxed and letting go of his guard and mind for the first time in a long time.
"This child is only fifteen years old, so why should he act so bitter and bitter? It's a pity that my two younger brothers were robbed at such an age. If they had not died, the child would have been this old."
After applying the medicine, Dr. Huang found that the boy had fallen asleep. He couldn't help but laugh. He thought of his younger brother who starved to death due to famine in the past, and felt a sense of nostalgia.
The next day, Mao Shi.
The sun rises in the east, the morning sun rises, and its bright golden light falls on the earth, awakening the hustle and bustle of the world.
On the long street, there were shouts and shouts everywhere, and it was already lively.
Even in the West Crane Tower, there were many people from the world gathered, chatting about the world and discussing martial arts.
"After practicing martial arts, this is the first time I slept so peacefully. It seems that I can already walk on the ground."
Xiang Ji woke up and took a look at the scars on his body. After the herbal treatment, the scars had formed and he could get out of bed freely, but it would take at least ten days to recover.
He simply put on a big robe, took a bamboo hat and a scarf to cover his face and went downstairs to inquire about the recent news.
This kind of dressing up is not uncommon. Eight out of ten wanderers walking around are dressed like this. No one looks at them twice, so Xiang Ji successfully blends in.
As soon as I sat down, I listened to several martial artists nearby discussing the ancient and world-famous 'martial arts'.
"If you ask me, the one with the greatest reputation recently is the Qiao family's Twenty-eight Dragon Subduing Palms. It is the most powerful and powerful palm technique. The contemporary young master went straight north and swept away the Eighteen Wolf Cavalry beyond the Great Wall."
"First? Are you afraid that you have forgotten the martial arts that have been passed down in White Horse Temple and even the entire Buddhism since ancient times, the Tathagata Divine Palm! It was created by the World Honored One who was known as the invincible opponent in the world in the past, even in the most prosperous period of heaven and earth. Divine and demonic martial arts are related to the sequence of supernatural powers, and there are unpredictable changes after achievement."
"Yes, there have always been rumors that the Tathagata Divine Palm created by the World-Honored Tathagata, the Huntian Treasure Mirror created by the great goddess Nuwa, and the Xiantian Qiankun Gong created by the Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor are all the most special martial arts and are true gods. After cultivating the demonic inheritance, you can ascend to heaven during the heyday of heaven and earth."
"You must not favor one over the other. There are other martial arts founded by ancient gods, and each emperor has his own practice. The Nine Heavens Divine Emperor Technique evolved by Emperor Yan, Chi You's Seven Great Limits of Devouring Heaven and Destroying Earth, and the Supreme Technique of Heaven and Earth by God Fu Xi; Even for those who live in troubled times, there are also the 'Heavenly Demon Technique' created by the Great Heavenly Demon, which showed great power in the hands of the Yuanshi Heavenly Demon during the period of the destruction of the Yin and Shang Dynasties, and the 'Heavenly Demon Slaying God Technique' left by the Great Heavenly Demon, both of which are extremely powerful. The earth-shattering martial arts shattered many territories of the land of China in the past, destroyed countless caves and sky, and the fragments scattered in the sky and became stars, reducing it to what it is today."
"It's a pity that now we can only think about the scenery of our ancestors. In terms of the desolate world and environment of the world, it is difficult to exert the power of powerful martial arts. Looking back on the past, the destruction of mountains and mountains, and the reclamation of seas and land are all records in the world. Fighting scenes, but now it is difficult to even see characters with magical powers. Alas, martial arts is really going to decline?"
"Not necessarily. There have been rumors in the capital that the decline of heaven and earth can be changed by manpower. As long as a master is born who breaks the current barriers to the realm, the world can be restored. But it is not easy to create such a existence, or there is a great change sweeping the world. , or a peak showdown..."
The discussions among these quacks were lively, and when it came to excitement, some people even slapped the table and shouted loudly, as if they were also members of the unparalleled martial arts.
"It's almost time. The fragments of Guangwu appear in the world. The first big event is the Yellow Turban Rebellion." Xiang Ji naturally knows that these great gods and Buddhas who created god-demonic martial arts are real, and even the heaven and the underworld are real. , at the turn of the Sui and Tang Dynasties in later generations, the battle between Maha Ye and Yang Xuangan caused the spirit to leave the body and fight in the underworld, which led to the joint suppression of the Ten Palaces of Yama, which fully shows the vastness and mystery of the world.
The world is outside of heaven, and people are outside of people. They are just inducing but not triggering. The real time has not yet come, and the change of dynasties in the world is not something they are willing to interfere with. It has its own destined historical trajectory.
"I also heard that there has been a lot of unrest in the capital recently, and even the Lu Academy has been affected. The second party war that just subsided is likely to start again!"
"It is indeed possible. Recently, many well-known experts in the state are rushing to the imperial city. Maybe they just want to support others?"
Then, someone started whispering gossip about the changes in the capital.
And from their mouths, one shocking name after another came out:
After countless tribulations, master Lingzhen, Master Lingzhen, Master Zhuanzhu who raced up mountains in eight steps, Wusi Guijiejie Chao in pursuit of waves, and other famous martial arts masters all appeared one after another.
"Lingzhen Master Zhang Heng? Even the Five Pecks of Rice Sect is involved?"
Xiang Ji was shocked when he heard this. The fierce man who subdued the dragon and subdued the tiger to determine the world was the leader of the contemporary Five Pecks of Rice Sect, known as one of the top ten masters in the world!
The second disaster of party imprisonment has already happened in history, but the aftermath has only been fermenting in the past few years. Could it be that the martial arts world will also be implicated, setting off a bloody storm?
For the next nine days, he did not practice martial arts, but stayed in Xihe Tower for self-cultivation. He listened to the news about the world and saw the scenery of Zhuojiang every day, which was quite satisfying.
During this period, he also paid to renew the wing for ten days. After all, the county magistrate only left a ten-day deposit, and now the deadline has been exceeded.
Another day later, Xiang Ji's wounds were all healed, and he returned to his peak level again. As a result, he improved even more. The flesh and blood under his skin was tempered and tortured. He made further progress and achieved the second level.
The path of spiritual practice has its own twists and turns, and this is what happened to him these days.
"It was a blessing in disguise that the fragments of Guangwu merged into my soul. My martial arts cultivation also increased accordingly. After completing my skin training, I produced a leather armor coat that was three inches thick. In addition to the previous Tianlei 'body refining' and herbal nourishment, it was even more direct. It has reached the level of a second-level martial artist and a blood practitioner!"
Xiang Ji's body shook, and the muscles under his skin suddenly tightened, and his whole body became stronger. The muscles were strong and strong, shining brightly under the sunlight, and were wrapped in a three-inch thick leather armor. More muscular.
Wow! The blood in his body surged, and he suddenly became energetic. The arm he stretched out suddenly swelled to the width of a wooden basin, as if it had become the palm of a giant spirit. The air was pushed, creating continuous folds, bang With a sound, a huge rock flew into the air and fell into pieces into a lake several feet away, causing a large splash of water.
Practicing blood is like moving a river, and the giant spirit shows off its ferocity!
This is the second level, the 'characteristic' vision of blood martial arts masters, the 'giant spirit moves blood'. In one thought, the whole body's energy and blood surges, and can reach every part of the body at will. The power is condensed, creating a huge transformation. , like the giant spirit god in myths and legends, standing tall on the sky and the earth.
Moreover, with the training of King Jiang III, he also successfully surpassed the power of three bulls at the first level, and reached the level of four bulls with brute force "crash into the mountain". When he broke through the second level, Later, the original power of three bulls condensed into the "power of one tiger".
For Erguan martial artists, the power of one tiger and bear is the beginning, and the power of three tigers and bears is the standard of perfection.
Xiang Ji now looks at himself inwardly, and the information revealed on the life-changing chart suddenly becomes: the power of an ox and a tiger.
"Second Level Martial Arts Master? It can be regarded as a blessing in disguise. Most of the outstanding figures at the bottom of the Dragon and Tiger Rankings are at this level. However, if you reach the top 100, you have at least the background of the Third Level. The outstanding ones have completed the initiation ceremony of the supernatural power sequence. .”
At this moment, Dr. Huang appeared and nodded slightly. It was not easy for him to reach this point at the age of fifteen. After all, he was not trained by a wealthy family.
The martial arts of the young heroes on the Dragon and Tiger List are not only superior in offensive power to the younger generation, but their understanding and application of martial arts are also far beyond ordinary people's imagination. Their methods are so sophisticated that they seem to have been studied for decades. Above, many people have already begun to prepare for the magical power sequence and become 'entry reserve'.
Then, Xiang Ji borrowed a 200-jin bow from the Xihe Tower. He put only one finger on the bowstring, opened the bow and stretched the string, and shot into the sky, making nine consecutive vibrations!
Boom!
The sound of the strings was long, and the sky was like firecrackers. The ferocious energy shot out nine holes in the big tree as thick as the two of them hugged each other, and then it fell down. This was still a false shot, there were no arrow feathers at all, just the remaining energy. If it was an arrow, The power is terrifying.
He fired a two-hundred-jin bow with one finger, and the giant spirit moved blood to show its ferocity. There was no doubt that Xiang Ji had firmly reached the level of a second-level martial artist and began to refine his flesh and blood.
A martial artist at this level can train to the point where the bulk of the body's flesh is strong and plump, and the reflexes are sharp. He can fire a two-hundred-jin bow with one finger and shoot continuously. He can kill ten fully armed armored warriors with his bare hands, and suppress fifty warrior armors. The soldiers are surrounded, the blood circulates the breath, and the body and mind are refined, and every part of the body can be transformed into a huge form.
"Brother Shanhe, it's not good!"
Just as Xiang Ji was immersed in the joy of his breakthrough, Ade, who was joining in the fun with fellow gangsters, hurried over, looking a little nervous.
Before he could open his mouth, some Jianghu people rushed in, gasping and shouting, "Big news! Langxi Village under the jurisdiction of Zhuo County was jointly occupied by the Disaster Control Building and the Hungry Wolf Village bandits. After fighting with the county government troops, they divided their forces to surprise Lousang Village. The entire village has been surrounded!"
"What?!"
Everyone was shocked. Lousang Village was surrounded by bandits?
