The Heavens: A Qing, the Yue Girl at the beginning

Hearing this, Nangong Caishu looked startled and her eyes widened. She opened her mouth but was speechless. She didn't know what to say.

Although I don't think Zhao Qing can really reach the ninth realm, or even the eighth realm, it is not very realistic. To use a bad word, it is called arrogance.

But judging from Fang Lu's move just now, the skills she mentioned must be quite magical, so they can do things that even Fang Xiumu can't do.

It is incredible that such a precious thing can be taught to me, who is not very talented and is a student of the Ivy Sword Academy. It is incredible that a genius like Ding Ning, who broke the Baiyang Cave record and is in urgent need of treatment, can be taught. It's as it should be.

After thinking about it, Nangong Caishu, who felt that her abilities were limited and could not bear the heavy responsibility of "promoting it", was about to refuse, but she saw Ding Ning winking at her, so she stopped temporarily.

"Actually, the so-called cultivation is nothing more than 'refining essence to transform into qi, refining qi to transform into spirit, refining spirit to return to emptiness, refining emptiness to combine with Tao'."

Zhao Qing briefly introduced the practice method he was about to teach: "After entering the path of practice, the activity of the practitioner's internal organs becomes more vigorous, and the five qi in the body meet the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and the speed at which true qi and true essence are generated will naturally increase. The faster it becomes..."

"In the process of gradually accumulating true energy, you also need to focus on improving your spiritual thoughts, so that the spirit and true energy can be integrated with each other, and continuously purified and sublimated... Although this is the principle of the fifth level of spiritual consciousness, it is not limited to this stages, but should run through the entire process of practice.”

"Today's practitioners are more interested in understanding the laws of the movement of heaven and earth's vitality, and the control of heaven and earth's vitality by the evolution of various runes. They like to pursue this kind of power that is visible to the naked eye, but they ignore the exploration of the mysteries of the human body itself. Very few It involves spiritual practice..."

"But in fact, the accumulation of many subtle changes has a huge impact. The vast majority of practitioners in the world who are stuck before the next great realm are because of some lack of spiritual cultivation. It’s not because of insufficient understanding of the law of vitality.”

Using mental means to block the perception of other students, Zhao Qing casually pulled a straw futon and sat down. He looked at the two thoughtful people in front of him, handed them a futon each, and continued to talk:

"In ancient times, early practitioners learned from those powerful beasts of the ancient times, imitated their use of the vitality of heaven and earth, and gradually created the current nine-level practice system. The road is full of obstacles, and the success is achieved, and finally laid the foundation for The basis of human domination in the world.”

"But today, the limit of our human power has already surpassed the ancient beasts recorded in ancient books as being no more powerful than the top of the Seven Realms, completely replacing their previous status. Therefore, there is no need to limit ourselves to the barriers of our predecessors. We should innovate and find a path that is more suitable for us..."

Speaking of which, ancient practitioners only imitated the use of external energy by the ancient beasts, but few actually performed vivisection on them. Naturally, they could not learn from these naturally extremely powerful beasts how to develop the small world of the human body. method.

"The book "Beheading the Three Corpses of No Self" in your hand has such characteristics. It focuses on the development of the human spirit and can greatly improve the practitioner's mind power and state of mind. It's no wonder that the No Self Palace can Become the first-class faction in the Korean Dynasty in the past."

Ding Ning was also shocked when he found that Zhao Qing saw through the secret code of the Selfless Palace Palace in his hand, which was disguised as the ordinary technique "The True Explanation of Lingyuan Avenue" from the Lingyuan True Treasure Sect of Zhao Di. The other party just mentioned it in passing and talked about something else:

"...Essence, Qi and Shen must go hand in hand, and there should never be any gaps or shortcomings. How to make up for the essence and spirit is the main content I will teach..."

"When it comes to the purification of spiritual ideas, the most critical premise is to establish an unswerving concept in the heart, to be able to 'persuade' oneself to act according to it, to play the role of controlling the spirit, so that the soul can sublimation."

Just like among the top masters of the Seventh Realm, some people have understood a small amount of the vitality laws of the Eighth Realm Qitian in advance. They feel that they are only half a step away from the Eighth Realm, and their combat power is getting higher and higher, but they can't take any step forward. past;

For people like Yuan Wu, who is not the most talented and has a cowardly personality, it is because of his mental changes that he happens to meet the requirements of breaking into the Eight Realms. After breaking through the realm, he can come back to understand the Eight Realms. The law of vitality.

Perhaps the combat power is relatively mediocre, and it doesn't seem to be much different from the "Half-Step Eight Realms", but in any case, it is finally a level stronger. Once the realm is reached, magical powers will arise on their own, and they can open up more as time goes by. Large distances.

As long as you can convince yourself and stick to your beliefs, even if you have a cowardly character, to describe it in a positive way, it would be "steady, cautious, and far-sighted", which is also an extraordinary state of mind.

While secretly evaluating some of the top figures in the world, Zhao Qing pointed while showing an excited look, as if he had met Nangong Caishu of Xintiandi: "It's like you can clearly sense the existence of the vitality of heaven and earth, but you are stuck. At the peak of the second realm, it is impossible to attract external energy into the body."

"This is actually a matter of mentality. If you have a peaceful mind and forget about others, you will naturally allow the aura of heaven and earth to get closer to you, and you will no longer have a feeling of rejection. Otherwise, read as many books as "Yuanqi" written by various sects. "Miscellaneous discrimination of species" will not be of much use."

"Peace of mind, forgetting others and yourself?" After a series of shocks, Nangong Caishu no longer seemed surprised that Zhao Qing could see through his purpose of coming to Baiyang Cave to search for classics.

But when she heard the two simple and clear instructions and had a vague understanding, Nangong Caishu couldn't help but put down the classics in her hands, her heart began to beat violently, and her eyes shone like stars.

Perhaps due to physical problems, Nangong Caishu's father, Nangong Pocheng, was stuck in the second to third realms for seven years. Until a dangerous moment in a battle, he naturally felt the energy of heaven and earth entering his body.

From the perspective of peace of mind and forgetfulness of others, we can completely explain this and find a solution.

Although Zhao Qing looked slightly older than him and it was only the first time he met him, in Nangong Caishu's eyes, he could save him seven years and he had become his most respected teacher.

Just as Nangong Caishu thought of this, a lot of invisible vitality from heaven and earth fell into her skin, and many tiny light stars flashed out inexplicably, exuding a radiant luster, which made Nangong Caishu's true energy produce a strange The change.

This means that she has successfully broken into the third level of True Yuan Realm from her cultivation level at the top level of Qi Refining Realm.

Using the "Mind Cutting and Correction Sword" and other methods, he quietly made Nangong Caishu break through the realm on the spot, which verified his knowledge of the cultivation system of this world. Zhao Qing also smiled slightly, and waited until the other party's cultivation gradually improved. Stable, and began to explain further in depth.

"What is 'Refining God and Returning to the Void'? What is 'Refining the Void and Combining the Dao'?" Seeing this shocking situation, Ding Ning was even more surprised. He felt that it was difficult to see through Zhao Qing's true nature, and thought for a moment I thought and asked my own question.

In his view, the most important thing in practice is state of mind. When you do something seriously with a sincere heart, you will naturally be more likely to succeed. This is roughly consistent with what Zhao Qing said, but it is obviously not that perfect and he does not pay attention to it. It means "forgetting myself".

Now it seems that forgetting others and self may be the key to breaking through the Eight Realms of Qitian, which requires some kind of spiritual relaxation.

There is no doubt that Zhao Qing's identity cannot be simple, and he is definitely not just a grandmaster of Baiyang Cave. The other party's preaching has clearly revealed this.

Although there were flaws in her identity, considering that she had solved the most important problems between the two of them one after another and showed great kindness, that was giving herself a rare trust.

……

"By the way, I will burn the exercises I just mentioned and store them in the Cave of Classics and History." While Ding Ning was deep in thought, Zhao Qing made a new move.

Her dark ice crystal sword suddenly floated up and landed lightly in her palm. Then, her fingers slowly gathered together and gradually formed into a fist shape. With a slight explosion, it turned into a A pile of fine crystal boulders danced in all directions like falling snow.

The jade-like onion-like fingers at this moment became harder than refined gold, easily crushing black crystals that were comparable to black iron. The contrast between them made Nangong Caishu and Ding Ning, who witnessed this scene, secretly surprised. .

The next moment, a transparent flame glowing with five colors of light ignited between Zhao Qing's fingers. It seemed to have a strange suction force. It wrapped the black crystal fragments in the tumbling and undulating process, causing them to gradually melt into one, and condensed to form Crystal pillars covered with runes.

It is obvious that these crystal pillars, which are about half a foot long and naturally condensed into mysterious patterns, are exactly the way of recording in a kind of classics, inscribing the content and charm of each exercise, full of spiritual luster.

Many times, subtlety and vastness are just relative concepts. Each rune on the crystal pillar is just a very thin line to ordinary people. However, in the perception of a practitioner, it may be a wide river, or even boundless. of wilderness.

After communicating with Xue Wangxu, who was inside and outside, with his extended spiritual thoughts, Zhao Qing dug out a small cave with its own spiritual shielding effect in the Classics and History Cave, and put these crystal pillars into it. Borrowed by someone who can see them.

Then, as if she wanted Ding Ning and others to realize it on their own, she did not continue to give instructions. Instead, she sat comfortably on the grass futon, closed her eyes and rested, and entered a state of cultivation.

……

Seeing Zhao Qing show off a new skill, Ding Ning was once again shocked and realized that he had underestimated the other person's cultivation attainments.

As we all know, the practice of practitioners pays attention to the integration of body, method and technique. The "body" refers to the practice of the practitioner's own body.

The body of a practitioner must be strong, able to live for a long time, have strength, be agile, have speed, and have sufficient reaction ability.

However, like Zhao Qing, who can crush a high-quality sword without using any real energy and relying solely on physical strength, and then use the real fire generated by the intense burning of the essence to melt it into a special The result was beyond Ding Ning's previous imagination.

From what he knew, looking at the world, the Wushuang Sword of Lingxu Sword Sect, the heavenly golden body cultivated by Zhao Xiangfei, the second in command of the Great Chu Dynasty, and the Donghu ascetic monk who entered Changling in the past, were all affecting the body. In terms of strengthening and tempering, it can be said to have reached the ultimate in the world.

Especially the line of ascetics in Donghu Mountain, due to the barren cultivation environment, they do not pursue natural materials and earthly treasures that contain a large amount of spiritual energy media. Instead, many of them start from the aspect of spiritual will, thoroughly see themselves, and break through the limits of their physical and spiritual bodies. , practice the supreme technique of sanctification of the physical body.

This coincides with Zhao Qing’s concept of spiritual practice, which is to focus on yourself and not seek external things.

Under this kind of ultimate control of one's own power, there is a huge difference in the speed of attacks between the same seven-level masters. The opponent's heaven and earth energy may have just been summoned, or the sword intention has just bloomed, and he has already ushered in a powerful attack. one strike.

Therefore, Ding Ning is almost certain that in the previous battle against Xue Wangxu, Zhao Qing definitely used a lot of water, and actually only used a speed that was not as fast as that of ordinary mountain-moving masters. At this moment, after seeing Zhao Qing's hidden strength again and again, what he was thinking was: If she really goes all out, what level of combat power can she unleash?

……

In the next few hours, Zhao Qing silently adjusted his breath and exercised his skills, and the strong vitality of heaven and earth gathered along with it, which greatly improved the cultivation environment of the entire Jingshi Cave.

Not far away, Ding Ning held the thin volume of "Beheading the Three Corpses without My Own Nerve" in one hand, pressed his hand on a crystal pillar marked "Eternal Life Eternal Spring Kung Fu", and slowly stroked the surface with his fingers. The subtle lines stimulate a faint fluorescence.

As he slowly thought about it, the notes and illustrations in the classics clearly appeared in his mind, and then slowly connected together, becoming more and more real, bringing Ding Ning an endless stream of unique ideas. opinion.

Unknowingly, he seemed to have returned to the time when he first entered Bashan Sword Field, reading the Sword Sutra day and night, meditating and practicing, in a state of intoxication, hunger and thirst, and at the same time, an indescribable feeling of shock arose in his heart. feel.

After the collapse of the You Dynasty, the most powerful in history, many other dynasties were born and died in the world. Among them, the one closest to the unification of the world was undoubtedly the Jin Dynasty, whose territory was equivalent to the Zhao, Han, Wei, Chu, Qi dynasties combined today.

Just as the establishment of the You Dynasty relied on the invincible strength of the first Emperor You, the founding of the Jin Dynasty also relied on a powerful being who was called the Witch Ancestor by later generations and specially built an ancestral palace to enshrine him.

In an era before the Jin Dynasty, only practitioners who absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in their bodies were considered orthodox, while practitioners who practiced Yin Qi and ghost methods were almost killed and were regarded as extremely evil.

However, there was a practitioner who practiced the method of ghosts and ghosts. He survived in that era and made people helpless with his nearly invincible cultivation. In the end, people had to recognize the status of a practitioner who practiced the method of invisibility.

This founder of the Way of Yin, Spirits and Ghosts was regarded as a supreme being in the Great Jin Dynasty of the past. This is no different in the Daqi Dynasty that specializes in the Way of Yin Qi today. He is the predecessor that this spiritual sect cannot get around. Mighty.

In Ding Ning's view, what Zhao Qing wants to become may be another witch ancestor, intending to create a new line of practice and having unprecedented ambitions.

There is no doubt that her future will never be able to be accommodated by the small Baiyang Cave. It will inevitably have a profound impact on the outside world. In theory, it does not seem to be very conducive to hiding the identity of the Nine Death Silkworm.

But at the same time, this also brought a series of fruitful new choices to his original step-by-step revenge plan.

……

In the south of Changling City, there is a building that looks like a Taoist temple, covering an area of ​​dozens of acres.

The rewards of the Great Qin Dynasty were very heavy. Anyone who could win the first rank of the enemy would be rewarded with a first-level title, benefit from nine acres of the house, and if the beheading reached the level of 2,000, he would be entitled to a tax of 300 families.

Therefore, most of the houses in Changling, and even the courtyards of ordinary soldiers, were surprisingly large in the past, and the entire Changling was expanded outwards. This building located in the south of Changling City is really not that big.

However, except for a few big figures deep in the palace, all the dignitaries of the Qin Dynasty were deeply wary and fearful of this place.

Because this is where the Divine Capital Prison is located.

The Great Qin Dynasty mainly relied on the Supervisory Office to investigate and handle cases. There were thousands of official officials in various places in the Supervisory Office, and each official had countless diners under his own sect. Moreover, all major cases did not need to be reported to other departments and were reported directly to the other departments. God listens, so the power of the Supervisory Department has always been vaguely superior to that of other departments.

However, Shen Dujian is also an outlier.

There are only a hundred officials registered in the Shendu Prison, which is only one-tenth of the number of the Supervisor Tiansi. They are usually only responsible for investigation and surveillance work. However, the objects of investigation and surveillance are all types of officials, practitioners, and potential practitioners. characters.

Therefore, the Shendu Supervisor is a secret institution dedicated to supervising officials and practitioners by His Majesty the Emperor and the two prime ministers who are subordinate to one person and number more than ten thousand people.

Furthermore, all the official officials of the Shendu Prison are "war orphans", the children of generals and sergeants who died in battle. These people do not have much to worry about and are not threatened by others, so they tend to be more cold and gentle. ruthless.

Therefore, in the eyes of most officials and practitioners, Shendu Prison is even more terrifying than Supervisor Tiansi.

As one of the most experienced "evil dogs" in the Shendu Prison, Mo Qinggong was currently in a study deep in the Shendu Prison, looking at the many case files piled up in front of him.

Among the dozens of case files he has on hand, one of them is recording in detail the identity information of Zhao Qing who suddenly appeared and is quite suspicious. The content includes the message left by the previous patriarch of Baiyang Cave mentioned not long ago. Copy, the drawing and shape of the Aries jade pendant token.

Although he could not find any definite problem areas for the time being, relying on his extremely rich work experience, he quickly circled some items that could be repeatedly verified, and wrote a related investigation plan, which he prepared to submit later. Implemented by subordinates.

Perhaps because of the long period of reading, Mo Qinggong's eyes were a little disturbed, so he took out a small glass medicine bottle and put a few drops of medicine into his eyes to clear the eyes and clear the mind.

Then, Mo Qinggong noticed that there were circles of strange ripples in his sight, and a low buzzing sound rang in his ears. He couldn't help but feel exhausted, and fell asleep in a daze.

If a Seventh Realm Grandmaster with keen senses observes carefully next to him at this moment, he will be surprised to find that this originally dark study room has an inexplicable brightness that is difficult to detect.

On the head of Mo Qinggong, especially at the ear and eye acupoints, one can vaguely see the slender light filaments that are constantly vibrating slightly, causing heavy ripples in the air, like mysterious and beautiful flowers. bloom;

The upper end of the light filament penetrated the wall panel of Shendu Prison's study room and extended to an extremely high altitude. It was like countless arrows made of starlight falling through the pierced space, dissipating into millions of particles. Threads of vitality flow in the breeze.

At the same time, a hundred miles to the north, in the Baiyangxia Jingshi Cave, the palm of Zhao Qing's right hand was glowing. Dozens of very faint rays of light radiated upward diagonally, and were thrown into the thin clouds at a height of tens of miles. among.

Under the refraction of many tiny ice crystals suspended in the clouds and mist, these extremely condensed rays of light headed straight towards the south of Changling. There is no doubt that the end of it is the light filament connected to Mo Qinggong's head, and it rises A certain mental control effect has been achieved.

Based on the "Sound Transmission Soul Searching Method" that can be controlled remotely and the principle of laser sound transmission, Zhao Qing gradually gained a deeper understanding of the practice system in this world and sensed and analyzed several Shendu supervisors lurking near Baiyang Cave. After studying the skills of a spy, she successfully developed this secret technique of remote control.

Since the Shendu Prison is the only one in the seventh realm, Supervisor Chen is patrolling around in a carriage. The second master, Deputy Chief Qi Beihuai, is leading people to track Fan Zhuo in Wei Yunshui Palace. There is no real master in charge of this department.

Therefore, a senior practitioner of the Five Realms like Mo Qinggong, without paying attention, followed Zhao Qing's "Hanging Silk Puppet Sword" and invaded the mind through sensory information, causing him to fall into a hypnotic state similar to sleepwalking. .

After a while, Mo Qinggong, who was a bit fat and chubby, slowly woke up while rubbing his aching head. While lamenting his recent busy work and lack of rest time, he first flipped through other case files and then continued writing. That investigation plan against Zhao Qing.

But in terms of content, it has obviously become a lot simpler, and the level of urgency has been greatly reduced. The implementation date is particularly loose, and the methods are no longer so strict.

In the middle of writing, Mo Qinggong seemed to have thought of something. He stretched out his fingers and flicked twice towards the door about ten feet away. Although the true energy was not emitted as smoothly as in the normal state, as a few light threads fell to The door panel also simulated a rhythmic vibration sound.

This kind of sound with a special rhythm is an instruction to summon subordinates.

Soon, the door was opened, and a young official with his head lowered and a respectful expression walked in quickly.

"Let us people in the fish market find the people who are doing the intelligence business there and find out about this Zhao Qing. Just like it took us half a year to confirm Zhao Zhan's identity, there is no need to worry, we only need to leave one The two of you are responsible for this, just take your time,"

Without looking at the subordinate who was temporarily at his disposal, Mo Qinggong's soft but sinister words echoed in the gray room:

"Nowadays, cooperating with the Shence Group to track down those in Yunshui Palace is the top priority. Limited manpower must be used wisely. Investigating our own practice place in the Qin Dynasty has never been the work of the Shendu Supervisor Point."

"As soon as the latest information about Baishanshui comes, inform me immediately."

"By the way, Qin Huaishu was recommended by me and was able to enter the Lingxu Sword Sect to study. Calculating the time, he should still be in Changling now. It will take a few days for him to officially enter."

As if something suddenly occurred to him, Mo Qinggong rolled up the investigation plan he had already written, handed it to the other party, and added: "As his old boss for several years, I am also going to give him something when we say goodbye. A congratulatory gift. You will send it to me at this time tomorrow."

"Presumably, it will play a big role in his cultivation in Lingxu Sword Sect."
