The original meaning of pulse is blood vessels. "The Essence of Pulse" states: "The pulse is the house of blood."
It is extended to the coherence of things, and the terrain is organized and connected, and the Qi of the terrain refers to whether the mountains are undulating and whether there are haloes at the ridges and ridges of the mountains. If there are haloes and haloes, it is auspicious, otherwise it is unlucky. According to Feng Shui,
The ups and downs and shapes of mountains are also determined according to different states.
The earth's veins are the ancestor of all mountains and the source of veins.
An Jing's body floated in the Suolongjing, and the huge aura rolled around him, forming a huge impact, and the "Great Zhoutian Star Body Refining Technique" began to operate involuntarily.
The Great Zhoutian Star Body Refining Technique uses one's own acupoints as stars to introduce the true energy into the body to temper the body. After cultivating to a perfect state, the body will form a world of its own.
The heavy mountain aura was constantly being diluted and gradually became calm.
After about dozens of breaths, An Jing landed steadily on the ground. The surroundings were very dark, with only a dim light emerging in the distance, and the aura came from the distance.
At the same time, An Jing could feel that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth around him was very rich, especially since he was practicing peerless mental techniques such as the "Nameless Heart Sutra", which allowed him to avoid refining the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and increase his cultivation speed by more than dozens of times.
But as the "Nameless Heart Sutra" began to circulate, a trace of black smoke poured into the meridians along with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. This trace of black smoke was very subtle and cunning. It was attached to the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and was hidden in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
Among them, if you don't observe carefully, you really can't see it.
"Could this be evil spirit!?"
Anjing's true energy gathered together and drove away the black smoke with all its strength.
These black smokes are extremely clinging and contaminate the body, just like a dog-skin plaster. When the powerful zhenqi is washed away, even the evil spirit will be cut off by three points, but the evil spirit will not move at all.
An Jing narrowed his eyes and continued to circulate his true energy to wash away the evil energy.
Once again!
Twice!
........
Even though Anjing possessed the peerless mental method of "The Nameless Heart Sutra", until the eighteenth time, the evil spirits were driven away at all.
An Jing saw the effect and continued to circulate the true energy in his body to wash away the evil spirits.
Under the constant impact of the true energy, the evil spirit disappeared bit by bit. Fortunately, Anjing did not absorb much, just a slight trace. Soon this trace of evil spirit was completely eliminated.
"call......."
An Jing let out a breath, and with his current cultivation and strength, it took almost an hour to clear away this trace of evil spirit.
From this we can see that this trace of evil spirit is powerful.
If you inhale too much evil spirit, even if you use Anjing's "Anonymous Heart Sutra", it may be difficult to remove the evil spirit. It seems that you should be careful to prevent this evil spirit from entering the body in the future.
Afterwards, he stopped absorbing the aura of heaven and earth under the Suolong Well, and instead walked towards the light ahead.
The more he walked toward the light, the stronger the evil spirit around him became. Although the evil spirit was not absorbed into the body, it still made people feel extremely uncomfortable, as if there was a huge stone pressing on his heart, and his breathing was changing.
It becomes difficult.
An underground palace was built under the Suolongjing. Then, with a faint light, the appearance of the underground palace was vaguely visible. It was very similar to the emperor's heaven-sacrifice array.
There are eighty-one ancient blood-bronze pillars outside, standing all around, staggered in an orderly manner.
They gathered together and went straight into the misty darkness, where the light gathered all the brilliance.
The inner part is extended by cross fish silk lines, and sometimes there are four sun god patterns, corresponding to the eight directions of Qian, Dui, Li, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Gen and Kun.
On each ancient blood bronze pillar, there are thick iron chains tied up, making a "clang" and "clang" sound, and the connections of the iron chains are gathered in the center.
Where has An Jing seen this scene?
Not long after, he came to the light, under the faint fluorescence.
Suddenly, the book on the ground began to explode with extreme brilliance.
"Tip: There is a golden opportunity near the host!"
"Tip: There is a black opportunity near the host!"
"Tip: There is a purple opportunity near the host!"
........
"Black opportunity!?"
An Jing took a breath and quickly looked forward.
In the center of the ancient blood-bronze pillar, there is a giant dragon, with piercing eyes, dragon beads, raised horns, embossed dragon armor, and strong claws, as if it senses someone coming, and looks back, which is intimidating.
It is surrounded by dense golden light, and in addition there is rich black light, forming a unique black-gold light.
Looking carefully, An Jing found that some of the dragon's scales seemed to be corrupted, and even fell off, and the rotten body could be clearly seen.
When the dragon saw An Jing, there was a trace of angry red light in its eyes, and its body rushed towards him crazily, but the iron chains around it tightly tied it up, preventing it from moving.
"Roar!"
People from all over the world bowed down and worshiped in eight deserts, the dragon roared in the night, and the heaven and earth shook.
With the roar of the dragon, the whole world shook.
Earth Spirit!
This is the ancestor of ten thousand mountains and the earth line of the entire world.
An Jing looked at the earth-line spirit with a chill in his eyes.
Cutting down the earth-line spirit in front of you can not only remove the black chance on your body, but also gain the blessing of breaking through the great master.
Thinking of this, Anjing Zhen drew his evil sword and slashed at the earth spirit in front.
The blade of the sword was extremely cold and carried an unparalleled aura, and then it slashed towards the earth spirit in front.
"Boom!"
The Earthline Spirit did not dodge or dodge. The sword light passed through the Earthline Spirit's body and struck the ground heavily. Suddenly, the entire land was trembling.
Then an even more powerful force came, shaking An Jing's arms to the point of numbness.
Grand Master Qi Machine!?
"Um!?"
An Jing frowned slightly when he saw this.
This sword actually cut through the air, which shows that the earth spirit in front of you does not really exist, but is illusory and has no physical existence.
And from the force of the counter-shock, he actually felt a trace of the Grand Master's Qi.
The Great Yan Imperial Family definitely does not have a Grand Master, and this Grand Master's Qi Ji should be the means left by the Great Yan Imperial Family.
It seems that killing this earth-line spirit is not as simple as imagined.
boom!
At this moment, a roaring sound suddenly erupted not far away.
When An Jing heard this, he stepped forward.
Under the faint light, what appeared in front of his eyes was a ball of red ice. The red color was so enchanting that it looked like blood.
A figure is sitting cross-legged on the ice, this person is Jiang Shang.
The roaring sound just now was caused by this.
Behind Jiang Shang, there is extremely rich yellow essence. This yellow essence gives people a feeling like the weight of the earth. It is obviously the essence of the earth that is blessed by nature, but it has not been absorbed by the evil spirit at this moment.
The moment he saw the yellow essence, the purple brilliance of the Book of Earth appeared in An Jing's mind to the extreme. Obviously, this was the purple opportunity prompted by the Book of Earth.
Great Goblin Yuan!
This is a treasure left by the earth's veins, but because Suolongjing is controlled by the Yan royal family, this great goblin essence has always been in the hands of the Yan royal family.
Such a huge hobgoblin element can even be regarded as a purple opportunity, which shows how powerful this hobgoblin element is.
The Great Goblin Essence is more than ten times more valuable than the Five Poison Sect Thunder Pond Lei Yuan, and the volcano essence of Beili Volcano is more than ten times more precious. This is also an important reason why royal masters can appear frequently even when the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is lacking.
And the blood energy in the red ice cube is constantly flowing towards Jiang Shang, and Jiang Shang's energy energy is also constantly rising.
Violent, evil, cruel...
An Jing frowned and muttered to himself: "Is it immortal blood!?"
Jiang Shang also opened his eyes and said, "We meet again."
An Jing said coldly: "Is this immortal blood?"
"That's right."
Jiang Shang jumped down in front of the ice, and touched the ice with his palms. "What I told you back then has come true. Now I have seen the secret of immortality."
There was a hint of obsession in his eyes, as if what was before him was not emotionless ice, but a peerless beauty.
An Jing asked: "The secret of immortality?"
Jiang Shang nodded slightly, with a trace of incomparable excitement in his eyes, "As long as you have immortal blood, you can continue to refine the internal organs of the human body like the true essence in the body of a great master, and your longevity will also increase."
Immortality!
He has been pursuing these two words for most of his life!
Many great masters hated this, but Jiang Shang not only had a glimpse of the secret of immortality, but he could also obtain it.
What does kingship, wealth and beauty mean in the face of immortality?
Of all the things in the world, he only seeks eternal life!
An Jing said indifferently: "It's useless even if you know."
Jiang Shang asked in confusion: "Why?"
An Jing raised the evil-suppressing sword in his hand, "Because today, your path to immortality will be cut off."
Chi!
The cold sword light rushed towards Jiang Shang.
The effect of the ghost transformation is gradually disappearing. At this moment, Anjing cannot compare with Zongzheng Huachun, but his energy is also very strong.
This sword light connected with the darkness and moved forward in a mighty way.
Jiang Shang could not retreat. Once he avoided the immortal blood behind him, he would be split by An Jing. A trace of red blood flashed in his eyes, and the sea of Qi in his Dantian was also rendered scarlet.
As the blood light emerged, Jiang Shang's Qi increased again, as if he had turned into a bloodthirsty and ferocious beast.
"Crack! Click!"
The sword light was directly held by Jiang Shang, and then gradually dissipated between his palms.
The next moment, An Jing's sword had already stabbed him.
"What a sharp sword!"
Jiang Shang quickly turned sideways to avoid the sword, and then the sword light continued to sweep towards his throat. Jiang Shang bowed to dodge again.
The two of them went back and forth and soon exchanged dozens of moves.
The sword light flashed with an extremely cold air, causing the temperature of the world to drop sharply.
The next moment, a roar resounded, and Jiang Shang's figure turned into a burst of blood and shot out. At that speed, like lightning, he appeared in front of An Jing in a flash.
boom!
Jiang Shang's face showed no expression at all. He looked down at An Jing, and then struck it hard with a palm. In his palm, there was actually endless condensation. The palm fell lightly, but it contained an almost explosive force.
.
Bloody Pagoda!
Under one palm, it was as if thousands of blood lights had gathered together.
The blood light reflected in An Jing's pupils. He looked at Jiang Shang whizzing down with violent blood light, and his eyes flashed slightly.
The bright light of the stars burst out from An Jing's body at this moment, and the bones in his body seemed to be shaking at this moment, with a faint strange sound as they vibrated open.
The Great Zhou Tianxing Body Refining Technique has been brought to its extreme by An Jing.
The energy and blood in his body was boiling, and the true energy could no longer be suppressed. With a sudden stamp of his feet, An Jing's body suddenly rushed up, and the sword in his hand emitted an extremely bright golden light.
In the void, a huge sword fell down as if it was about to cut through the sky, and it seemed to fit together with the Suppressing Evil Sword in An Jing's hand.
boom!
The endless tearing giant sword and the bloody giant hand collided with each other, and a roar resounded in all directions. Wherever they touched each other, ripples like water were reflected and spread into the distance.
Neither of them took a step back, and the golden giant sword and the giant hand in the sky were locked in a stalemate with each other.
Jiang Shang's face had become a little distorted. He looked at the scene in front of him ferociously, with rage surging in his eyes.
The true energy in his body rushed out like a flood, and the blood under his palm exploded wildly, and the air nearby seemed to be detonated at this moment.
The palm wind with blood light suddenly increased in power, and it was actually capable of destroying the giant sword in one fell swoop.
An Jing felt Jiang Shang's increased strength from the sword blade, and his arms trembled slightly.
Jiang Shang looked at An Jing and sneered: "Boy, do you have to be the most at odds with me?"
An Jing's heart was as calm as water. The sword in his hand came over from the sky with an endless domineering look, and his body seemed to be continuously extending, standing between the entire heaven and earth.
A ray of sword light struck Jiang Shang heavily, its aura was unrivaled and its power was frightening.
Boom! Boom!
Jiang Shang raised his eyebrows and thrust his giant hand forward. The majestic energy gathered crazily towards his hand, and the bloody light was extremely dazzling.
Waves of blood light spread out from Jiang Shang's hands, and each ripple of blood light trembled, making the air distorted.
The blood light shone brightly in the world, and it was boundless. The dazzling blood light gathered together to form a huge bloody mark, and then floated in the sky.
After the bloody mark absorbed the surrounding infuriating energy, the light trembled, and then rushed towards An Jing's sword light crazily.
An Jing raised his head, looked up at the suppressed bloody mark, and struck directly with his sword.
Boom!
And at the moment of the collision, Jiang Shang's face changed drastically in an instant, because he saw that the suppressed bloody mark actually slowed down at this time and gradually stagnated.
Jiang Shang felt extremely solemn in his heart and said: "This kid is growing up too fast."
After Jiang Shang received the immortal blood, his cultivation level increased greatly. He originally thought he was invincible under the five qi, but now it seems that this is a complete joke.
The Anjing in front of him was not something he could match.
At this moment, An Jing felt the pressure rushing madly from the sword, and the energy in his body was like an extinct volcano that had been dormant for many years, beginning to surge and erupt.
"Boy, I will give you a 'good fortune'!"
Seeing this, Jiang Shang didn't hesitate anymore. He stretched out his palm and the great goblin essence behind him was sucked into his palm, and then he patted it forward.
An Jing felt the essence coming, and the sword in his hand paused slightly.
After all, this is a purple opportunity that is very close at hand, an opportunity that can directly take him from the peak of three qi to the fourth qi.
When the Great Goblin Yuan approached, the "Nameless Heart Sutra" and "Great Zhoutian Star Body Refining Technique" in his body started to operate at the same time, and the Great Goblin Yuan was directly absorbed into his body.
And during this interval, Jiang Shang picked up the blood-colored ice cube and ran towards the outside of Suolongjing.
The surging essence surged in and instantly occupied Anjing's Qi sea. By the time he came to his senses, Jiang Shang had already rushed several feet away.
"Mr. Lu is still outside the well. If he takes action, the river may not be able to escape yet."
An Jing took a deep breath and began to process the hobgoblin essence that entered his body.
Whoa whoosh!
The hobgoblin essence pouring into the body seemed to turn into golden flames.
This Great Earth Essence itself is very different from the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy. The pure energy in it is many times richer than the Heaven and Earth Essence.
In the cold Locked Dragon Well, the majestic energy of the Great Goblin Yuan vibrated, and even the sea of Qi was trembling. If it were not suppressed by the remains of Yan Taizu, I am afraid that the flames of these Great Goblin Yuan would have been compressed underground.
Like a volcano, it suddenly erupted and scattered the Dragon Well.
In the center filled with the great goblin essence, there is a hollow area where there is no flow of evil energy at all. All the evil energy that sweeps here will be automatically diverted away.
A thin figure sat cross-legged, and there was a faint terrifying power surging in his body.
Taking a closer look, there seemed to be a vast starry sky emerging behind him. Every time the starry sky flashed, the great goblin essence would be completely smelted.
Qin Shan's five heaven and earth spiritual essences in Anjing Qihai also trembled at this moment, as the great goblin essence poured into various places around him.
An Jing didn't seem to notice the changes around him. His body didn't move at all. Even his breathing became inaudible. If not for a trace of life still coiling around his body, anyone would probably think it was...
It's a lifeless corpse.
As he sat down like an old monk passing away, traces of golden air flow quietly seeped out from the pores of his skin, and then wrapped around his body like tiny vines.
Even if An Jing's body was filled with too much hobgoblin essence, it would be difficult to smelt it.
With his normalized state, it seemed that the entire Suolongjing hobgoblin essence was merged into one with Anjing. Every time his breathing became heavier, the powerful hobgoblin essence in Suolongjing would set off a wave of waves.
The waves of the great goblin's vitality surged into his body, and when his breathing stabilized, the waves of the great goblin's vitality would quietly subside, and the Dragon Locking Well would become silent again.
Under these breaths and breaths, the essence of the great goblin was constantly blooming.
Time passed minute by minute.
Suolongjing is still as dead and quiet as before, without any life in this isolated place. Occasionally, there will be a roaring sound of the great goblin essence sweeping through, but in that sound, there is
It carries the aura of death, which makes this place look even more desolate.
The spirit of the earth's veins stared at An Jing with angry eyes.
Similarly, because of the seal, it seems to be powerless against An Jing.
In the calm Suolong Well, suddenly there was a slight movement. Looking in the direction of the movement, it turned out to be the empty area inside the Suolong Well.
At this moment, An Jing's body, which was like an old monk in trance, suddenly began to continuously pour out a large amount of true energy.
The true energy circulated, and then a vast starry sky-like light shield enveloped An Jing's figure, and his acupoints were seen emitting bright light, like stars hanging in the sky, and like crazy people.
Like a rotating vortex.
At the moment when the star-like aperture appeared, it began to absorb the surrounding hobgoblin essence crazily.
"call......."
An extremely violent breath slowly came out along An Jing's throat, and as this breath came out, the flow of true air around An Jing slowly began to converge.
With such a huge amount of essence, even top masters cannot swallow it all. At this moment, the Great Zhoutian Star Body Refining Technique is fully activated, and coupled with its extremely powerful body, it can quickly absorb a large amount of essence.
Time is passing by, and Anjing's aura is also improving rapidly.
The vigor, one of the five qi, in the body begins to move upwards. As long as it reaches the heavenly spirit, it has returned to the realm of the four qi masters, and is only one step away from the top of the world.
At the same time, Anjing's aura was soaring at an alarming speed.
As Anjing's aura suddenly soared, the Locked Dragon Well also changed and became violently violent. The evil aura in the distance roared like waves in the sea, and several huge tornadoes were several feet long.
An Jing's aura at this moment has soared so much that it's jaw-dropping. If anyone were here, they would be frightened by such a terrifying advancement speed.
The goal that would take others years, or even decades, to reach, at this moment, is suddenly achieved in just one or two sticks of incense.
In such a scene, no matter how good the concentration is, a person would probably collapse on the spot. This kind of promotion speed is really shocking.
I don't know how long has passed.
An Jing felt his head become clear and his breathing slowly became longer and longer. His body was trembling, but his eyes were extremely bright.
The surrounding Qi seemed to form a whirlpool, and everything that could be absorbed seemed to be absorbed into his body. As a large amount of hobgoblin essence gathered into An Jing's body, his aura became even more powerful.
After a while, the pure essence of the hobgoblin burned in An Jing's body, and An Jing's skin suddenly turned red.
The open pores in Anjing's skin can penetrate into it, and the inside should be closed and the outside should be closed.
With a bang... there was a sound, and the great goblin essence rushed around An Jing's body. His whole body felt light, and all the pressure and strangeness disappeared.
In a daze, An Jing's thoughts suddenly became empty, and his whole body became limp.
At the same time, the courage also moved upward and reached a peak.
When the Qi returns to its original position, it is the state of the Four Qi Grandmaster!
At this moment, Anjing was taking Bodhi Seed, refining the Great Earth Essence, and the Qin Shan Heaven and Earth Spirit Essence, and then easily reached the realm of the Four Qi Master.
And this improvement seems not to be over yet, as the majestic essence is still brewing in the body.
The "Great Zhou Tianxing Body Refining Technique" circulates, absorbing the essence of the great earth like a roaring mountain and a tsunami, and refining the physical body.
You must know that An Jing's physical strength is already extremely high among the masters. Now that he has gone through the "Great Zhou Tianxing Body Refining Art", he has already achieved the Jade Bone Realm.
However, "Great Zhoutian Star Body Refining Technique" is a martial art that transcends the Tianwu level. It is a martial art in the same realm as "Jade Emperor Sutra" and "Nine Nether Purgatory Magic Book". It takes time to practice to perfection.
Even if it takes more than a hundred years, even a great master may not be able to cultivate martial arts beyond the Tianwu level to the tenth level of perfection.
And if this kind of physical training martial arts is perfected, how terrifying will it be?
It is recorded in the "Great Zhoutian Star Body Refining Technique" that after practicing to the ninth level, you will have the strength to overwhelm mountains and rivers. When you reach the tenth level, you can even reach the point where your head rests on the sun and moon and your feet touch the heaven and earth.
Although it is a bit exaggerated, if practiced to perfection, Anjing's strength will definitely be qualitatively improved.
"Great Zhoutian Star Body Refining Technique" uses one's own acupoints to turn into stars. The most lacking thing if you want to practice to perfection is the essence of the earth. At this moment, the vast sea of essence of the earth is right in front of you. If you digest it all and absorb it,
, there is absolutely a chance to break through the "Great Zhoutian Star Body Refining Art".
An Jing's heart sank. He immediately ignored everything else and began to run the "Great Zhoutian Star Body Refining Technique" unscrupulously to absorb all the great goblin essence in the Suolongjing.
Boom boom boom!
Then the light in the acupoints all over Anjing's body became more obvious, and the hobgoblin's energy became even more fierce and violent than before, as if the waves of the river converged into the star-like acupoints.
The hobgoblin essence was absorbed, and a burning hot feeling surged into An Jing's body.
Physical training itself is extremely difficult.
Especially when practicing to a high level, every time the flesh and blood is washed, it is a huge pain.
In an instant, sweat covered An Jing's forehead.
And he knew that this was just the beginning.
.........
Lock Longjing.
Jiang Shang dragged the immortal blood with one hand, and his body floated up lightly.
Lu Guoyong looked at the ice cube and said, "This object is unknown."
Jiang Shang said calmly: "It will be auspicious if it falls into the hands of an auspicious person."
Lu Guoyong knew better than anyone else that Jiang Shang was obsessed with immortal blood, because he himself told Jiang Shang the secret about immortal blood.
In fact, many secret things are unknown and impossible to be known.
The leader of the demon sect actually colluded with Lu Guoyong, the chief minister of the dynasty.
Why Jiang Shang appeared in Jiangnan Road, why he found Zhao Qingmei and brought him to the Demon Cult? Behind all of this is the shadow of the chief minister of the dynasty.
This is also one of the reasons why Zhao Zhiwu, the Emperor of Yan Dynasty, has always been dissatisfied with Lu Guoyong.
Although many things happened later and things went counterproductive.
Everything started when Jiang Shang killed the orphan of the former prince and wanted to completely rebel.
That's right, Zhao Qingmei's parents, the orphans of the former prince, were not Zhao Zhiwu's killers.
The real killer back then was Jiang Shang.
Lu Guoyong's original intention was to protect the former prince's orphan, and protecting the bloodline was an obligation to the current prince. However, Jiang Shang was extremely ambitious and wanted to rebel. The two fell apart and broke up unhappy.
Jiang Shang killed Zhao Qingmei's father, Zhao Shizai, and mother, Mao Shi, and took Zhao Qingmei into the demon sect, hoping to support the orphaned prince to become a god in the future.
Obviously, everything didn't go as he wished.
Jiang Shang has a strong desire for control, and Zhao Qingmei is also a person who has a strong desire for control.
Although Lu Guoyong didn't want to mention this past incident, it was a real 'stain'.
Jiang Shang's backstabbing at the beginning really frightened and angered him, but Jiang Shang still had Zhao Qingmei in his hands, making him use the rat weapon.
Fortunately, Jiang Shang still trained Zhao Qingmei.
This is what makes Lu Guoyong happy.
Jiang Shang also glanced at Lu Guoyong in front of him, a person who was sometimes difficult for him to understand.
For the sake of the Yan Kingdom and the world, he gave up the Wen Palace he had nurtured all his life and became an ordinary person overnight. For a person like Lu Guoyong, the sacrifice was not a small one.
If it were him, the person sitting high on the throne of the emperor was definitely not Zhao Zhiwu, but a puppet that he could control at any time, such as Zhao Shizai.
The two of them have different thoughts and ambitions, but they are equally paranoid and hopeless. Maybe this is what they have in common.
It's just that now a man is drifting to the end of the world, looking for immortal blood everywhere. As for power and family ties, he has put them aside, and has never thought about supporting Zhao Qingmei to ascend the throne of God.
And the other Wen Gong was shattered. Although he killed a Five Qi Grandmaster in the world, from now on, he is no longer Wen Gong and is just an ordinary old man.
The identities of the two may not intersect, and they will never intersect again.
The heaven and earth were silent, as if they were saying their final goodbyes.
Lu Guoyong said: "There is a long way to go, see you later."
"Wandering around the world for ten years, the hero finally bears the weight of his youth. Looking back at the far end of the world, he draws his sword with an awe-inspiring intention and cannot rest."
Jiang Shang laughed loudly, dragging his immortal blood and walked towards the distance, and his figure gradually disappeared from Lu Guoyong's sight.
Both of them knew that this was the last time they would see each other in this life.
Jiang Shang believed that Lu Guoyong had taken the wrong path.
Lu Guoyong believed that Jiang Shang had taken the wrong path.
And they all think that they are not going the wrong way, so who is going the wrong way?
It has to be said that there will always be such a scene in this life. People who originally walked side by side will always end up going in opposite directions and drifting further and further apart.
