Chapter 21: Feast without a good feast and get away
The dark night, the sharp wind, and the whispering ghosts.
But Dahuai Town, which should have looked eerie, became a little more popular because of the bright lights flashing from time to time in a corner of the sky.
It's just that the light was too dim and was quickly swallowed up by the night. The vast area of Dahuai Town was shrouded in darkness, especially the central area of Dahuai Town. It seemed that a peerless evil ghost was hiding, silently and invisible but constantly. Its presence is evident at all times, forcing countless ghosts to go out in search of food.
Wu Yi, who caused a ripple in the peaceful night of Dahuai Town, was still fighting endless ghosts at this time.
The Yin Qi is always tempering his body. The cold Yin Qi enters the body and makes the body tight and stiff, which greatly improves the body's ability to resist blows. It also slows down the rate of blood warming and significantly improves endurance.
But these are visible changes to the naked eye. What makes Wu Yi most happy is the simplification of the nine movements. Perhaps it should not be called nine movements now. The strength of the shoulder tension and arm strength are perfectly combined, and the nine movements are simplified into eight movements.
If one day the nine movements are simplified into one movement, wouldn't it be possible to go all out in one move? Who can match it?
Wu Yi discovered that after the combination of arm strength and shoulder strength, the Qi and blood would always encounter obstructions when passing through the Jianjing, Jugu, Yu and other acupoints at the junction of the shoulder and arm. Naturally, it would not matter if one did not pay attention or the battle was not at a critical moment. You will find that this small obstruction actually divides the shoulder and arm into two parts.
Now that the orifices are connected, the flow of qi and blood is unimpeded, and the effect it exerts cannot be reflected by a simple one plus one.
At this moment, Wu Yi seemed to understand why building the foundation is called opening the meridians. In fact, the process of refining Qi is constantly expanding and extending the meridians, making it easier for the spiritual energy to enter and exit. If the spiritual energy is sufficient, it can open the acupoints all over the body. , so that the meridians are connected into one, which means that the foundation is successfully established.
But unlike Qi Dao, which is all about one battle, Strength seems to focus more on Shui Mo Kung Fu, which involves constantly exercising all parts of the body to open the acupoints bit by bit.
Wu Yi said to himself: "So as long as these nine movements of mine are integrated into one movement, my strength cultivation will be considered as foundation building."
"No wonder what Black Beetle gave me before was not the strength method, but the powerful growth experience. These nine movements are enough to get me straight to foundation building, so why should I ask for anything else."
After understanding this, Wu Yi immediately raised his legs and punched, and he fought even more vigorously. However, he was extremely lucky to be able to simplify one action overnight. Therefore, by the time the demons gradually receded at dawn, Wu Yi had not made any further progress. .
Due to the dense clouds in the sky in Dahuai Town, it takes an hour to get up at night and an hour before getting dark. It can be said that day and night are reversed in midsummer. However, after living here for a few days, Wu Yi got used to it and became accustomed to it.
After a night of training, Wu Yi not only did not feel tired, but was in high spirits and full of energy. He couldn't help but sigh: "If you hear the Tao in the morning, you will die at night. The ancients will not deceive me."
The body has absorbed an unknown amount of yin energy, the belly is full, and there is no sense of hunger at all. This is the day of eating Xia and eating dew. Some people find it very hard, but some people enjoy it, but they don't know that the food and the body are not as good as others.
It's just that the body absorbs the small head after all, and the more is stored by the Yin Nai Talisman.
With all the Yin Qi drawn out, it was a pity that we didn't encounter a spirit ghost-level ghost last night, but the massive amount of Li Gui-level Yin Qi still made up for this shortcoming.
The moment the Yin Qi appeared, the temperature dropped sharply, but Wu Yi pinched the Qi Gathering Technique. Now Wu Yi's Qi gathering speed is getting faster and faster. It is definitely an improvement, but compared to the progress in strength, it is a bit inconspicuous.
As soon as he used the magic formula, the Yin Qi gathered around him, as if Wu Yi was covered with a layer of gray armor, but the armor was too heavy and cold, and even Wu Yi's body that had been tempered by Yin Qi felt chilly.
, goosebumps arose.
With 90% of the Yin Qi released, Wu Yi entered the bead with no expression on his face. He looked extremely free and easy, but probably only Wu Yi knew what he was really thinking.
The 10% Yin Qi Wu Yi left behind is also useful, used to establish the connection between peace and harmony, which is different from the great agreement between life and death in the heart.
The Great Pact of Life and Death is a method used by pet owners to kill their ghost pets if they discover that they are about to or have exceeded their control. This method hurts others and themselves, and will never be used unless it is an emergency.
Through the Great Contract of Life and Death, the owner can know the life and death of the ghost pet, but cannot communicate with the ghost pet normally, so a new connection needs to be established.
Silently reciting the mantras recorded in "Feng Dao Lu", a faint wisp of smoke floated from the Baihui point on the top of Wu Yi's head. This was actually a wisp of Wu Yi's soul, but Wu Yi's soul was now weak and could not clearly appear in the world of the sun, appearing hazy.
Unclear.
Under the action of the formula, this ray of soul separated into two invisible threads. One end was wrapped around Wu Yi, and the other was wrapped around. Then the threads disappeared completely. They communicated with each other completely by attracting each other's soul breath. The advantage is that it is simple and convenient, and one thought
It's reachable and very safe. You don't have to worry about things like condensing your voice being intercepted by others. The inconvenience is that communication requires soul power. The farther the distance, the more soul power is consumed. This is understandable. Although it has many disadvantages, it has many advantages.
Of course, the most important benefit of this connection is that it can transfer soul power and fight with the combined strength of two people. However, neither Wu Yi nor Wu Yi has the ability to transfer soul power at this time. The most likely thing is that the soul power escapes before it is transferred.
Scattered in the middle.
The moment the contact was completed, Wu Yi woke up and felt the state on the other side. It is worth mentioning that this contact is one-way, which means that Wu Yi can contact him at any time, but he needs Wu Yi's consent first.
There are also things that Wu Yi can pay attention to at all times, but can't. That's why I mentioned before that this is an unequal relationship.
"This method of connection seems to be the content of the Dharma." Feeling the wonderful connection, Wu Yi suddenly realized.
"So I'm practicing three paths at once." Wu Yi's heart was filled with ups and downs. It's not that there are any disadvantages in practicing three paths at the same time. At most, it's just that I'm distracted by many things and may not be able to specialize in one.
Instead, Wu Yi found that he seemed to be led by the black beetle and acted completely according to its arrangements. Wu Yi could not tolerate this.
Glancing at the bead seemingly unintentionally, Wu Yi felt fearful in his heart, knowing that he was at a disadvantage in the new round of the game and had to find an opportunity to reverse the situation.
Wu Yi was in a state of cultivation for the next two days without resting for a moment. Monks can practice fasting after reaching a certain level. Although Wu Yi did not completely fast, it would not be a big deal if he did not eat for a day or two.
At the time that he had agreed upon before, Wu Yi set up a grand ceremony, with horses and chariots, and strong men accompanying him, and traveled all the way to where the two comrades were.
The beautiful trees are lush and lush, Qihuayao grass can be seen everywhere, and a clear stream gurgling from the forest. However, in such a wonderful place, it is extremely cold and quiet, and all living creatures have been devoured by the raging ghosts.
"These two comrades have chosen a good place." Wu Yi arrived at the location and praised, but his tone was a bit teasing.
Wu Yi had been here for such a long time, how could he not have discovered it? The reason why he did not come to occupy it was because the forest here was thick and it was a place where ghosts and monsters lived. Ghosts were everywhere at night, so how could he have the time and effort to deal with them?
Needless to say, there was a large group of mortals in Wu Yi's cabin. Putting them in an extremely dangerous place, Wu Yi couldn't do it, so he finally chose a flat and open place to camp.
But what Wu Yi didn't know was that Xu Zhisheng and Xu Qian chose this place because they wanted it to be a place to welcome the real person. If the real person's arrival was too shabby, he wouldn't be happy. Therefore, although ghosts are infested and live here, it is dangerous.
A lot, but nothing compared to leaving a good impression in front of real people.
The horses neighed, the wheels rolled, and the sound of strong men calling the door made it impossible for the people inside to miss it.
The first were five warriors and five servants lined up in two rows, standing at the door, with resolute and cold expressions on their faces, giving rise to a sense of chill. When Wu Yi saw it, their auras were solid and motionless as a mountain. It was clear that all of them were trained.
A strong man at the peak of his energy.
These two comrades have quite a lot of background. Wu Yi's expression did not change, but he secretly looked at the few warriors and servants, thinking about how to escape if they were under siege. Today's visit will determine the relationship between the two parties. If they disagree, they will inevitably be punished.
Imprisonment is like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth.
What broke the chilling feeling was a burst of hearty laughter. Wu Yi looked and saw that the real owner had arrived.
Walking in front was a handsome young man in his twenties, with a jade tree facing the wind. He was wearing bright clothes and a horse, a sword hanging from his waist, purple gold shoes on his feet, and his eyes were full of energy.
Next to the young man is a girl wearing a moonlight fairy dress. She has picturesque eyebrows and flying black hair, but her face is cold and she seems to be taciturn and unable to speak.
Seeing the gorgeous clothes and elegant temperament of the two people, it was obvious at a glance that they must have been born in a family with great wealth and wealth. They were worthy of being children of the capital. However, unlike Wu Yi, a declining person who acted with restraint, they
There is an unconcealable arrogance between her eyebrows.
"Junior Brother Wu Yi, you are finally here. Brother Yu has been waiting for you for a long time." Xu Zhisheng said with a hearty laugh. It must be said that people from these big families are very sophisticated in dealing with others, and their tone is very appropriate. They will not let others down.
People feel uncomfortable when they hear it.
Xu Qianyan on one side nodded in agreement.
"Senior Brother Xu, thank you." Wu Yi saluted.
Xu Zhisheng made an invitation gesture, but Wu Yi did not refuse and followed Xu Zhisheng into the small courtyard they built. The ground was paved with bluestone and running water flowed around the courtyard. Even if it was just a temporary residence for them, it was also decorated.
Extremely elegant.
At first, Wu Yi and Xu Zhisheng were talking about cultivation matters and did not involve matters in Dahuai Town at all. Wu Yi was not in a hurry. He had already seen it. Both of them were at the peak of the Four Transformations, full of spiritual energy.
, circulating around, talking to such people Wu Yi only has advantages and no disadvantages.
In the end, Xu Qianyan couldn't wait any longer and signaled Xu Zhisheng with her eyes several times. However, Xu Zhisheng seemed to be really interested in talking to Wu Yi the first few times and ignored Xu Qianyan's reminder. In the end, Wu Yi saw Xu Qianyan's hint, but he also
Don't tell the truth, wait for them to say it themselves.
Xu Qianyan became impatient when she saw that he would not say anything anymore. Xu Zhisheng stopped waiting and said to Wu Yi solemnly: "Junior brother, what did Guanzhong say before you came to Dahuai Town?"
Seeing Xu Zhisheng speaking in this tone, Wu Yi responded with a confused look on his face: "To be honest, senior brother, Dahuai Town Temple has sent disciples to destroy ghosts many times, but most of them were not destroyed, and many ghosts reappeared later.
Junior brother came here just to suppress the arrogance of ghosts. What's wrong, but there are changes in Dahuai Town?"
Xu Zhisheng and Xu Qianyan met their eyes and nodded imperceptibly. Xu Qianyan answered calmly: "According to the latest news, there may be a ghost lingering in Dahuai Town that is about to be promoted to the Ghost King."
The Ghost King is equivalent to the golden elixir stage among monks, and Wang Chuchen is also about to become a figure of this level.
Xu Qianyan had never said a few words before, but when she did, she made people feel convinced.
Although he had already guessed that there were high-level ghosts in Dahuai Town, Wu Yi was still shocked that he was about to become the ghost king. This expression was true.
Seeing the sudden change in Wu Yi's expression, Xu and Xu smiled lightly. The plan was half successful, but Wu Yi's immediate words made their faces suddenly become serious.
"What should I do? I heard that a professor and deacon will come down the mountain soon to deal with the matter in Dahuai Town, and I was asked to receive him here. But now, what should I do if the ghost shows his power?"
Someone at the level of professor and deacon was coming, and when he suddenly heard such news, Xu Zhisheng asked, "Junior brother, is the news true?"
"Yes, not long ago, a decree was passed down in the temple about this matter, and I was very happy to receive it." Suddenly Wu Yi seemed to have thought of something, grabbed Xu Zhisheng's sleeve and asked: "Brother, why don't you please receive the guests in the temple for me?"
Someone come."
Seeing Wu Yi's cowardly gesture, Xu Zhisheng's eyes flashed with disdain, and he declined: "After all, it is my junior brother who is coming to the temple. Senior brother is one level behind. I am afraid that I have neglected the master. Junior brother, please be more considerate. The evil ghost is here even if he wants to come."
I won’t become the Ghost King so quickly.”
After learning that the foundation-building monks were coming, Wu Yi had become dispensable, and Xu Zhisheng stopped talking to Wu Yi and seemed much colder.
Wu Yi left in fear after repeatedly "begging" to no avail.
Watching Wu Yi's leaving figure, Xu Qianyan said with a look of disdain: "If I had known he was such a person, why would I have wasted such a lot of words? Just drive him away as I said."
Xu Zhisheng didn't answer, his face was calm, and he said: "What should we do now?"
Xu Qianyan's face was solemn and she remained silent.
