Chapter one hundred and ninety-two paper kites
Senior Brother wants to join the club to drink, Senior Brother Yinghua wants to go to Xianren Cave to find some good things, Senior Brother Liu Wen of Knife Handle wants to become a disciple of Guyue and learn blacksmithing skills. What is Senior Sister Fang’s intention?
It turns out that there is also a legendary figure in Xuanji Club, Yi Xiaomei. This natural monk who was called the flower of the southeast more than a hundred years ago, this frozen-aged beauty, her beauty and her elegant temperament have given her countless awards.
Fans and pursuers. This old lady has high attainments in makeup, bodybuilding, etc. She has also been immersed in literature, poetry, vocal music, fine arts, sculpture, architecture and other arts for many years, and has a deep understanding of it.
He is a master of art. Senior sister Fang Ying is also a loyal supporter of this old man.
Ding Yi glanced at the senior sister of Fengyi Palace and thought, "You are a monk with a dual degree in water and electricity, but you have nothing to do with the Xuanji Society." But Ding Yi couldn't explain it clearly, so he agreed and said
I will help her talk about it when I get to the club.
Seeing that Ding Yi was so sensible, Fang Ying let him go.
When the two returned to the camp, Zhou Yu had already gotten up and was squatting on a sleeping stone. While eating breakfast, he watched Han Yuanlong lead the newcomers to the camp training. He was the most carefree in the entire Zangfeng Valley.
Seeing Fang Ying and Ding Yi coming over, Zhou Yu swallowed the last piece of Roujiamo. He knew exactly what Fang Ying had planned. But it was hard for him to accuse Fang Ying of doing something wrong, because he himself had the same problem.
Calculate.
When Ding Yi returned to the team, Fang Ying saw Zhou Yu and had to go up to talk to him again. Ding Yi shook his head secretly, stopped thinking about these things, and concentrated on training.
Not even a quarter of an hour later, I saw a person driving a paper kite about two or three meters long, flying straight over here.
Ding Yi had flown a kite before, but he never imagined that this light and delicate paper kite could bear the weight of an adult man and could also be used as a flying tool. It just flew through the sky and flew in the air.
The one who came was Wu Maonan, the master of body refining. This high-level Xuan-level monk who was dressed in fine steel and had the most impatient temper. He could wait until noon, but he ran over before it was nine o'clock in the morning and wanted to pick up Ding Yi.
Fairy Cave.
As body refiners, their biggest worry has always been their inability to fly in the air before reaching the Yuan level. Although he can fly with a paper kite like he did in Zangfeng Valley today. But whether this paper kite or other cultivation flying items,
There are some problems of this kind and that. For example, the paper kite cannot withstand the wind and rain. It is difficult to control when the wind is strong, and it cannot rise into the air when the rain is strong.
In fact, Wu Maonan originally had a flying coffin and a flying chicken besides the paper kite.
The flying chicken was too timid and loved to run around when frightened. Once when he went to another place, the flying chicken was frightened by a mouse and flew into the wilderness for nearly a thousand miles. Wu Maonan searched for half a month to find it, and came back angrily.
I took this flying chicken and stewed it into chicken soup.
Another flying coffin was originally a spiritual weapon of cultivation that he purchased in southern Xinjiang. When this flying prop was taken out, it would be laughed at by colleagues and friends. What’s more important is that this flying prop has been repaired many times since it was damaged once.
, he has been having minor problems, which cost him a lot of cultivation resources. And every time he has to go to southern Xinjiang, which is thousands of miles away, no one in the seven southeastern provinces and surrounding provinces and cities can repair this strange thing well.
flying props...
After hearing about Ding Yi's future ideas, he became very excited. Among these old men and ladies, he was the one with the strongest determination to learn puppetry.
Seeing Wu Maonan coming, Zhou Yu and Fang Ying hurriedly came forward to greet and salute. Liu Wen, the knife handler, also hurried over. However, the master of body refining was obviously not very willing to waste time meeting these juniors.
"Ding Yi, can you come with me now?" Wu Maonan got straight to the point and didn't talk about anything, it was as simple and crude as that.
"Of course it's no problem. It's his blessing that you came to pick him up in person. But Ding Yi, don't forget what you promised your senior brother yesterday. You should learn from the seniors there, don't be lazy, and be polite...
..." Calling Ding Yi over, Zhou Yu gave instructions to Ding Yi.
Fang Ying quickly took over the words: "Don't forget what senior sister told you."
Dao Bao Zi also wanted to say a few words, but Zhou Yu and Fang Ying stole his lines, so he could only look at Ding Yi.
Ding Yi bowed to the three principals of Zangfeng Valley.
He said: "Senior Brother, Senior Brother Liu, and Senior Sister Fang, I remember everything you said, don't worry." Then he motioned to Wu Maonan.
Wu Maonan folded the kite and put it into the backpack behind him. He grabbed Ding Yi and carried it on his shoulder. When Ding Yi was still stunned for a while, he was already pulling onions from a dry land. He jumped seven or eight meters high and landed in the Zangfeng Valley.
There were several leaps and bounds on the stone wall on one side, and soon we were on top of the stone wall.
It turns out that this paper kite still has this problem. To fly, it has to rely on the power of the wind. To put it bluntly, the paper kite's flight is actually the principle of a hang glider.
In fact, Wu Maonan could take Ding Yi directly across Luming Forest and run back directly. However, Luming Forest has dense trees. If he gets lost, he will have to spend more time finding the path to Shiping Mountain, and
The branches and leaves are luxuriant, so it would not be a good idea to get scratched.
This paper kite may not look like much at first glance, but it is actually made of excellent cultivation materials. Both the paper and the keel are hard-to-find items. The 'paper' is actually the tanned membrane of a pterodactyl.
Yes, the keel is also made of memory metal, and the threads on it are all rare sky silk. Even though it is such an inconspicuous paper kite, it is actually worth a lot of money.
The paper kite is only one foot long when it is folded up, but it is two to three meters long when fully unfolded. Just looking at this light and fluttering paper kite, with its thin paper and thin keel, Ding Yi still felt a little uneasy in his heart.
Wu Maonan didn't give Ding Yi any more time to think. He yelled "get up" and jumped up. He held Ding Yi with one hand and grabbed the rung of the paper kite with the other hand, and jumped down the mountain.
Seeing the paper kite falling rapidly like a meteor to the ground, Ding Yi's heart was in his throat, his little face turned pale with fright, and he couldn't help but close his eyes. Fortunately, the time was not too long, and an upward airflow finally arrived in time.
The appearance of the kite made the kite fly.
After a while, Ding Yi opened his eyes and saw the kite flying over the Luming Forest.
Wu Maonan saw Ding Yi open his eyes and said with a smile: "Why, are you still worried about falling? Don't worry, even if the kite doesn't rise in time, I can ensure that you fall to the ground safely.
"
Of course, Ding Yi couldn't say that he didn't believe Wu Maonan, but this shock was really exciting enough.
Ding Yi said: "Grandpa Wu, I don't know much about body refiners. Why can't you condense wings and fly in the air like ordinary spiritual monks?"
Wu Maonan sighed and said: "Physique Refiners can be said to be the most peculiar among many cultivation systems. Body Refiners are the first group of people who can feel the existence of spiritual power. Introducing spirits into the body, whether it is to convince Qi or to guide
However, when this spiritual energy enters the body, it is only transformed into a means of tempering our body and has no other effect.
The ability to release spiritual energy is something that can only be acquired after reaching the spiritual level. However, the ability of a physical trainer to release spiritual energy is more of a fighting technique, a method used to travel, such as flying on the grass, floating on the water, and springing on the ground.
Ascension, a feather in the eternal sky, etc., but after all, they still can't fly in the air.
After reaching the Xuan level, there are more powerful magical powers and spells such as sky-diving, wind-controlling, etc., which can stay in the air for a short period of time, but after all, they cannot fly in the air for a long time."
"Only when you reach the Yuan level can you mobilize the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to travel across the world. The end of the world is so close. Unfortunately, you know that this journey of cultivation becomes more and more difficult as you go up. There are four major realms, and there are three smaller realms below each major realm.
There are many levels in the small realm...difficulty, difficulty, difficulty, every step is a natural chasm.
I am one hundred and forty-seven years old this year. I awakened at the age of seven and reached the primary level of the spirit level at the age of thirteen. It took me twenty years to go from the spirit level to the profound level. Among our generation, I can be regarded as an outstanding person.
Okay. But it took me a full fifty years to go from the elementary level of Xuan level to the middle level of Xuan level. Now more than seventy years have passed, and I am still stuck at the middle level of Xuan level. I don’t know what the next step will be.
When can we arrive..."
Wu Maonan's tone was heavy, more of a helpless tone.
"It is said that stones from other mountains can be used to attack jade. This road is not easy to follow. Now I have to try another way. At least with my good understanding, learning puppetry and reaching the spiritual level should not be a big deal.
The question is, is it Xiao Ding Yi? As long as he can reach the spiritual level, he can design and make a decent flying puppet, and he no longer has to be ridiculed by his colleagues and friends.
A regret of many years.
As long as I become a spiritual level puppet master, Xiao Ding Yi doesn't dare to say anything else. In this Black Wind County, your Grandpa Wu will ensure that you are popular wherever you go. Whether it is cultivation resources or various cultivation secrets, I will get you
…”
Wu Maonan's voice made Ding Yi very heavy. This kind of cultivation was originally contrary to nature. As a newcomer in the world of cultivation, Ding Yi mostly looked forward to the future. How could he feel like this?
"Grandpa Wu, actually I haven't been exposed to puppetry for a long time. Until now, I have never had any qualification certification. A lot of basic knowledge is not reliable. I figured out a lot of things by myself. I don't dare to give it to you.
These seniors are teachers! I understand what you mean, we study and research together, you don’t need to do this to me."
Ding Yi was still a little afraid of the bald old man. It would be bad if he blamed himself for his slow progress in learning puppetry over the past few years.
Wu Maonan seemed to have guessed Ding Yi's thoughts, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, kid, there has never been any school that is easier than the other schools in the path of cultivation. In this regard, if you can achieve such results under the age of ten, that's
Your own talent, but your aptitude for puppetry is also strange. It cannot be detected through the extraordinary sacrifice. Otherwise, with your current level, you would have been poached by Zhongshan Academy in Nanping. Tsk, tsk, you are in your teens.
A spiritual level cultivator, haha..."
Ding Yi thought for a while and asked Wu Maonan: "Grandpa Wu, actually I have always had a question in my mind. I once came into contact with a great master. He thought that puppetry was a strange skill, and our Xuanzang Academy has always been regarded as
I think it is a relatively conservative cultivation academy in the empire. Although I have not been to other cultivation academies, there is no academy that is so resistant to new things like Xuanzang Academy... Ordinarily, like Grandpa Wu, you have always stayed at Xuanzang Academy. After all, puppetry belongs to
Other schools, I mean..."
Wu Maonan smiled and said: "Do you think that puppetry has just emerged? This is also the secret technique of cultivation that has been passed down since ancient times. There is a so-called 'great struggle' between schools. This is also an indisputable fact. Cultivation, cultivation, not only
It is not only the tempering and improvement of one's spirit and body, but also the formation and expansion of personal values and worldview.
The rise of the empire, sweeping across the world, not only represents the victory of new cultivation methods and systems over the old sect-like cultivation system, but also the victory of new ideas over old ones, a revolution in which new ideas replace old ideas."
"But the old stereotypes and customs will not disappear because of this revolution. The formation of cultivators' thinking, the sects and the schools they received education have a profound impact on them. Wanting to completely abandon these has a profound impact on cultivators
Thinking in a disciplined manner cannot be achieved by a revolution. Cultivation, cultivation is actually the liberation and sublimation of thoughts, it is difficult, difficult, difficult!”
Unexpectedly, this strange-looking, short and bald body practitioner is also an "extremely smart" and enlightened person.
"The purpose of Xuanzang Academy is not to look for external reasons or shortcuts to cultivation, but to explore one's own potential and improve from the inside out. This is the right approach. It's just that there is always a time when manpower is exhausted. In this world, there are extremely talented people.
After all, there are only a few geniuses. How much potential can you explore? How much room for improvement can you have? How much room for self-improvement is there?
I have been in seclusion for nearly twenty years, looking for the slightest chance of advancement. I have also traveled throughout the empire to look for that ethereal opportunity. I have tried all the methods that should be tried, but I have always been unable to overcome this obstacle.
In the past, I finally figured it out, whether it is from the inside to the outside or from the outside to the inside, as long as it can break through obstacles and advance smoothly, it doesn’t matter if the cat is black or white, as long as it catches mice, it is a good cat.”
"Boy, when you are our age, you will naturally understand."
This may be the so-called return to nature, Ding Yi thought.
The paper kite was light and fluttering. Originally it was just floating in the wind, and it was said that it would not move very quickly. However, Wu Maonan's paper kite was naturally very different in the hands of the body refiner master. Wu Maonan released his true energy and flexibly manipulated this kite.
The humble cultivation tool was incredibly fast. It took more than half an hour to fly through the Luming Forest for a distance of more than two hundred miles, almost twice as fast as Zhou Yu's spiritual wings.
