After three hours' journey, Hao Ren arrived at a small town in Zhejiang. With the help of directions and GPS navigation, he arrived at a small village half an hour away from the town.
With red bricks and white walls, this is a very backward rural area compared to Donghai City.
The car shuttled through various winding roads, racing against tractors that were emitting black smoke. Fortunately, Hao Ren's driving skills were passable, and the car did not overturn into the field on the roadside.
While driving, they asked people in the village and finally found a small house. When they heard the sound of the car, their family came out to greet it.
Standing at the front was grandma's little sister when she was young. When she saw grandma, she came up excitedly.
"Little Wuzi!" Grandma also walked out of the car door excitedly and hugged her.
"Little Ye Zi!" The wrinkled old woman hugged Hao Ren's grandma with the same excitement.
They hugged each other, happy and excited. Hao Ren parked the car in the yard, came out and called "Grandma".
"Oh, my grandson is so old!" The old lady looked at Hao Ren and said happily.
Hao Ren nodded shyly and smiled.
This old woman was the sister with whom she had the best relationship when she was young. Later, she married away, and she never saw her again. Now, how could the two old people not be excited to meet again after decades?
Originally, Hao Ren sent his grandma here to settle down for a while before going back, but he has not been in a very happy mood these days, so he wanted to have a quiet two days in this place far away from the city.
The old lady smiled and welcomed her and Hao Ren into the house. They ate simple meals, and Hao Ren also ate a bowl.
Knowing that Hao Ren would stay here for two days, the old lady quickly packed up a room and came out. The so-called guest room was a small house made of bricks in the yard, with a wooden bed and a wooden bed inside.
Bedding, nothing more.
To wash your face and brush your teeth, you have to go to the pool in the yard. To use the toilet, you have to leave the yard and go to the latrine outside.
However, the simpler the facilities here, the happier grandma is. She used to live in such an old house, which was comfortable and safe. Compared with the urban buildings and later seaside villas, she still misses this old rural house more.
The seven or eight-year-old children at the grandmother's house saw Hao Ren for the first time, and they all looked at him curiously. Some of the naughty ones even came to annoy Hao Ren.
Seeing them, Hao Ren seemed to recall his own childhood, when he was also so naughty and fearless.
Because the younger generation all work in nearby towns, before the weekend, only the two wives, a few children, and the grandmother live here.
This is a very simple family. Although their material level is not high, they are very sincere towards people. Grandma lived here for a month and reminisced with her former little sisters every day. It must be very relaxing and comfortable.
At night, the old woman grabbed the children and bathed them in the yard. The children took off their clothes and stood in the big basin, jumping around.
Seeing how naughty these children were, Hao Ren's grandmother also smiled from ear to ear. She loved children the most.
Since there was no shower, Hao Ren used a washbasin and could only use water and towel to wipe his body in his simple little house.
Here, there is no hustle and bustle of the city, no vanity of prosperity, and no impetuousness of the human heart, which is just the perfect place for Hao Ren to slowly release his emotions.
The next day, after eating the simplest pickled vegetables and rice, Hao Ren went to the nearby mountains alone.
The air here is several times fresher than that in the suburbs of Donghai City. Hao Ren walked up a hill at random, chose a piece of grass, and sat cross-legged.
The Dragon Pill in the body gradually rotates, absorbing the relatively rich Qi of Heaven and Earth. The 108 acupoints around the body are soaked in sequence, and then bit by bit are stored in the Dragon Pill.
Without any distracting thoughts, obsessions or resentments, Hao Ren silently felt the world. The five elements aura, which had only 0.35 in stock, seemed to be slowly growing.
Now that spring has just passed and summer is about to enter, the wild flowers in the mountains are in full bloom, and the breeze blows, stirring a sea of flowers. Perhaps for the locals, this scene is no longer strange, but for Hao Ren, this is an excellent holy land for cultivation.
!
Tao gives birth to one, gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things. All things carry yin and hold yang, and the qi is in harmony. The way of heaven is to make up for the deficiency when there is excess. The way of man is to make up for the deficiency when there is not enough...
While Hao Ren was condensing his Five Elements Qi, he was comprehending the world in this pure nature.
Feeling that the sun had climbed above his head, Hao Ren stood up and walked down the mountain feeling refreshed.
The old lady's house was about to have lunch. When they saw Hao Ren coming back, they thought Hao Ren was just walking around the village, but they didn't know that Hao Ren had been meditating on the mountain for 5 hours!
Seeing the children in the yard refusing to eat obediently and still playing with each other, this lively and lively scene suddenly gave Hao Ren, who had just been freed from cultivation, a glimmer of enlightenment.
If you want to cultivate the way of heaven, you must first cultivate the way of humanity!
Zhao Yanzi's Donghai lineage is mixed among the crowd, isn't it just practicing the way of man! The way of heaven is ethereal, but the way of humanity is real!
How can a heartless and loveless person understand the secret of heaven!
"Grandma, I've finished eating!" Hao Ren put down his chopsticks and walked quickly outside the yard.
"This child...why does he eat so fast..." Grandma was a little helpless.
Hao Ren grasped this little bit of insight and immediately went up the mountain again. The mountains here are not high, and there are no dense forests. The mountains are undulating, facing the light and backlighting, forming a positive and negative yin and yang!
Hao Ren chose a place to sit and felt this sense of realization integrated into his body, and the Splitting Light Sword and Shadow Technique began to operate rapidly!
"Gold, 6!" The little finger of his right hand stretched out a white sword light.
"Water, 7!" Blue light shot out from his left index finger.
"Wood, 10!" A green sword energy shot out from the middle finger of his right hand, drawing a shallow trace on the grass!
There are five elements in the sky, water, fire, metal, wood and earth, which are transformed and nurtured in time to create all things!
Hao Ren suddenly realized that what Su Han taught last time was the practice method of the Five Elements Kung Fu! The five elements can be transformed and contracted freely, which is the Great Five Elements Kung Fu!
Blue, red, yellow and white sword energy shot out from his fingers one after another. It was thin and weak, but as beautiful as fireworks!
Five Elements Sword Qi!
As the sword skills of the Splitting Sword and Shadow Art continued to be used, the five elements elements in Hao Ren's body became fully active. The originally stable five elements formation began to rotate around the dragon core in the center!
If one part is removed, another part must be compensated, and this movement is a cycle!
Wood generates fire, fire generates earth, earth generates metal, metal generates water, and water generates wood! The five elements generate each other!
Hao Ren was exhausted, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and lay back on the grass. The splitting sword and shadow technique worked completely once, hollowing out his entire body.
The so-called cultivation is to break first and then build up, constantly breaking through the limits. Hao Ren gradually replenished the five elements of the body, felt the power value in the body, and slightly broke through the previous bottleneck, and was able to compete with the third level of Concentration Art. Compared with the perfect skill value of 1, it almost reaches a value of 0.7!
Self-degrading skills, breaking first and then building up, using the practice of splitting light sword and shadow art to improve one's own skills, and finally achieved results!
If those masters who went from Kun level to Qian level were practicing in seclusion, then Hao Ren practicing quietly in the mountains and fields was not doing so in seclusion!
Seeing that it was getting dark, Hao Ren walked out of the mountain and returned to the old lady's house to rest.
Grandma didn't see Hao Ren for almost a day. She just thought she was wandering around. When she saw his soothing expression, she finally felt relieved. It seemed that the knot in Hao Ren's heart was opening up.
After dinner, Hao Ren retreated to his room and continued to practice. He accompanied his grandma here, and he didn't want Zhao Yanzi to follow him, because he just hoped that he would achieve a breakthrough in these two days!
During this period of time, he has been practicing very hard, but after all, there are still too many chores. If he can practice with peace of mind like this every day, he believes that he will break through the hurdles faster!
Su Han just put aside all unnecessary worldly things and meditated quietly in the city, comprehending the way of heaven and the way of humanity at the same time. Only then did he break through step by step and reach the level of a mid-level master!
Hao Ren stayed up all night, practicing the Concentration Art and the Light Splitting Sword and Shadow Art in turns. Even if it was only an improvement of 0.1 or 0.2, he didn't want to give up!
Before coming here, he still had some depression in his heart, partly because of Zhao Yanzi and partly because of Xie Yujia, but now, he is immersed in cultivation, and nothing can interfere with his state of mind!
The roosters in the village crowed, and the gray-white dawn rose from the darkness.
Hao Ren drank a bowl of porridge and felt full of energy before going on a tour in the mountains.
The simplicity and nature here gave him different feelings.
The sun rose from the east to high in the sky, and Hao Ren continued to practice from morning to noon. The skill value seemed to have reached 0.9, and Hao Ren became more and more proficient in the sword energy of the Splitting Sword and Shadow Jue.
However, the closer we get to the hurdle level, the slower the progress becomes, as if there is always a layer of estrangement hanging over our hearts.
Seeing that there is still half a day before the time to go back, this hurdle is so close, but it has been unable to successfully break through.
Hao Ren has gradually figured out the first level of the small magical powers of the Light Splitting Sword and Shadow Technique, including element transformation, element absorption, sword energy release, and the chaotic sword shape that can be placed in the palm of the hand.
Practicing exercises can promote the growth of skill, but the improvement of the realm of skill is also a process of qualitative change. If you cannot understand it thoroughly, the Dragon Pill cannot open your mind, and it will be useless no matter how proficient you are in the technical skills.
Only one step away, only one step away!
Hao Ren himself could feel that he was very close to the hurdle level, and his skill level had returned to the state when he broke through the third level of Condensation Art. Moreover, compared with the previous water attribute, which was 54%, he could only increase the water attribute to break through the hurdle level. Now the five elements are in balance, and the five elements can impact together. It should be said to be a very perfect state.
"Mr. Hao!" Prime Minister Xia, wearing a gray shorts shirt, suddenly appeared.
"Why are you here?" Hao Ren was a little surprised.
"There are two elixirs here. The Dragon King sent me to bring them to you." Prime Minister Xia held a small box in his hands and smiled, "How can it be so easy to break through the hurdles? The Dragon King just wants to test you."
"It's not needed for now, just leave it alone." Hao Ren pointed to the side.
Prime Minister Xia was stunned, but he still obeyed. Hao Ren took a deep breath, sat down again, and continued to use practice to break through the bottleneck.
He always remembered Su Han's words, the realm created through the accumulation of magical elixirs was ultimately unstable. If he could not take it, he would not take it.
The prince-in-law is really serious and will work hard in the last half day. Prime Minister Xia stood aside, basking in the sun, thinking to himself.
"Since ancient times, passion has always been full of regrets, and good dreams are the easiest to wake up from. It's hard to get rid of flowers, but the flying catkins are too scattered."
A ray of colorful divine light flashed across the sky, and a light spot the size of a grain of rice fell from the sky, so dazzling that people could not open their eyes.
Hao Ren only felt a burning sensation on his forehead. Suddenly, the inscription that he had read at the Taoist temple in Qingyan Mountain came out of his memory. He had already understood most of the inscription, and the various ancient characters suddenly regrouped and became
More mysterious.
Snap! Snap!
The two Taishan bracelets on Hao Ren's left and right hands were broken into pieces one after another.
