Chapter 250: The intersection of Yin and Yang, the secret of crape myrtle (4k)
It is a strange atmosphere where extreme yang and extreme yin meet, as if fusion and conflict coexist, and there seems to be a sharp intention that interferes with spiritual power in the middle, changing yin and yang in an unpredictable way.
"This is this?" Zhao Qing was thoughtful, and immediately jumped into the cold pool of clear water, attracting some heavier turbid air to increase his weight, and dived straight into the depths.
Swimming past several small silvery fish and groups of translucent shrimps, she dived deeper and deeper, and the buoyancy of the pool water became more and more intense. If she hadn't expected it, it would attract the turbid air and offset it.
The extraordinary floating force in the water has been washed back to the surface of the cold pool by resistance.
But I saw that the deeper the bottom of the pool got, the colder it got. After diving for a while, the surroundings were blue and green, filled with black ice that had condensed for tens of thousands of years. It exuded a bone-chilling cold air, which was extremely cold.
This kind of ten-thousand-year-old black ice is rare in the world and has extremely strange characteristics. It is like the coldest pole between heaven and earth. It can emit cold breath almost endlessly.
Han Iron, which can also emit some icy air, is much worse than Xuan Bing in this aspect.
Just like the cold jade bed in "The Legend of the Withered Heroes" can help people practice internal skills, the ten thousand-year black ice scattered at the bottom of the cold pool also has the same effect.
Although it is not jade and will eventually melt after being left outside for hundreds of years, it can still be regarded as a rare treasure that is difficult to find in the world. Once it appears in the world, even a piece the size of a human head is enough to attract countless people in the world to fight for it.
However, after Zhao Qing dived into the bottom of the pond, he was not moved at all by the precious black ice, which totaled tens of thousands of tons.
She first found a bright ice cave that led to another valley, and then observed some signs of re-condensation on the surface of the surrounding black ice, showing signs of poor ice quality, and she was thoughtful.
With the ability to absorb the energy supplied by the essence of heaven and earth in the realm of "sympathy between heaven and man", Zhao Qing naturally closes his mouth and nose and switches to internal breathing similar to fetal breath, so he can stay underwater for a long time and explore.
After searching closely and searching the entire bottom of the pool, she gradually came to the conclusion that the surface of these black ices was originally covered with traces of damage that went deep into the depths of the pond, which should have been left by the peerless masters during the fight, but after the new cold power repaired them,
down, barely restored to its original state.
Sneaking into the depths of the cold pool to fight fiercely, this kind of confrontation is somewhat unexpected.
According to Zhao Qing's investigation, perhaps there is a difference in the power of heaven and earth here. The water at the bottom of this cold pool is almost twice as heavy as normal water, has extremely high buoyancy, and is much better at dissipating external forces.
10% of her inner energy in the air is emitted from the water. At a distance of 80 to 90 feet, the power may be reduced by 70 to 80%.
Moreover, the hardness of black ice itself is far higher than that of ordinary ice, just like black iron is far stronger than ordinary iron. Although the traces of damage are only a few feet, it is still unimaginable by ordinary people.
Outlining in his mind the appearance of the bottom of the pond minus the traces of water and re-condensed ice, Zhao Qing gradually restored the situation of that battle and gained a certain understanding of the moves used by both sides.
She judged that Dugu Qiufei should be a yang-biased internal force, while Sweeper Monk was a yin-yang complementing each other, giving the former, who was better able to withstand the cold force at the bottom of the pond, some of the advantages.
The ice cave at the bottom of the pool seemed to have been opened by the sweeping monk after he was defeated and escaped. Unexpectedly, he escaped to another valley, and then took advantage of the opponent's sudden failure to react.
When the time comes, quickly climb the rock and leave.
Zhao Qing thought secretly in his heart, and after coming to a rough conclusion, he began to search for the previous strange aura.
After another period of exploration, she found that the direction of the sudden yin and yang aura was opposite to the hole in the ground that led to another valley. It was separated by a long distance and seemed to be dozens of feet deeper than the bottom of the pool.
After spending more than ten hours, he used his skills step by step to dig out a mysterious ice tunnel that was nearly a hundred feet long. Zhao Qing stopped in front of a giant ice wall several feet thick and looked at the embedded ice wall in surprise.
A thing on the other side of the ice wall.
It was a long sword shadow, extremely clear. The hilt, guard, sword body, and sword tip were all very similar. It faintly shot out a piece of smoke-like purple air, which was mixed with the deep green and blue.
The black ice complements each other.
How can there be purple light? This place is already hundreds of feet underground. It should be completely dark, cold and silent, with no sky.
Zhao Qing's thoughts moved slightly, and he slowly seeped his inner energy into the thick wall of black ice for exploration. However, he found somewhat strangely that on the other side of the ice wall, the temperature of the water actually increased with distance.
It greatly exceeds the melting point of ice, and when you reach a certain distance, it feels even warmer.
So, this is a place where yin and yang meet, so it exudes the aura of yin and yang?
Stimulating the still gestating Tao seed, she temporarily amplified her perception and spread it farther away. Soon, she sensed a temperature that was enough to make ordinary water boil, and discovered some dark red light spots.<
/p>
Magma emerged from the ground, then formed an underground hot spring, and came into contact with the cold water of Xuanbing?
It turns out that it was the dark red light of the magma that reflected on the purple sword shadow through the water body, revealing the purple shimmer.
Zhao Qing thought of the special scene in the autumn of Jueqing Valley, and her original suspicion of an underground heat source, and immediately had a general understanding of the situation in this area.
At the same time, she carefully attached some mental power to the surface of the purple sword shadow, and transformed part of it into true energy. After careful inspection, she found that it was a sword about three feet long, no more than an inch wide, and flashing purple light.
.
The blade of the sword is very cold, and it faintly exudes a strange power, carrying an extremely sharp sword intent; on the hilt of the sword, there are two seal characters coiled with gold wire, which are the two characters "Ziwei".
"'The Ziwei soft sword was used before the age of thirty. It accidentally injured a righteous man and was unlucky, so it was abandoned in the deep valley.' Isn't this the Ziwei soft sword that Dugu Qiu defeated?"
Zhao Qing's heart moved slightly, and he guessed that this "Abandoned Valley" might be in the Heartless Valley, or it might be the location of Broken Heart Cliff.
At the same time, she also vaguely had related conjectures about the reason and process of the crape myrtle soft sword appearing hundreds of feet underground contrary to common sense.
Decades ago, the Ziwei soft sword fell into a deep valley and fell into a cold pool of clear water. Due to its extreme sharpness, it easily cut through the black ice at the bottom of the pool, and due to the special force in the sword, it slowly moved towards the ground.
The place where yin and yang meet moved and finally came to this place.
Moreover, according to Zhao Qing's exploration and inference, the heat of the magma here seems to be somewhat inferior to the cold air of Xuan Bing, and the location where the yin and yang of the two meet will gradually move deeper.
Perhaps, it will eventually be forced to the edge of the magma, water and fire will collide, and yin and yang will change drastically, triggering a large eruption of underground springs, allowing the heat of the magma to return and gain the upper hand, gradually pushing the junction back.
Maybe, under such a violent eruption, Ziwei Ruanjian will be brought back to the ground and see the sky again.
Of course, if you want to fully explain the change process, the unique power contained in the sword is the key to this matter.
At the risk of triggering an underground catastrophe, Zhao Qing carefully and slowly manipulated the movements of the Ziwei soft sword across the ice wall, letting it cut through the ice wall for a while, and then waiting for the gap to re-condensate into ice to balance the pressure on both sides.
During the repeated process, it was taken out step by step.
When the sword was still half a foot away from Zhao Qing, she tested the solidity of the ice wall for a while, then reached out to break through the ice, grabbed the hilt of the soft sword, and took it out.
With a slight tremor, the sword body immediately trembled up and down, easily cutting through the water flow, as if it transformed into a rainbow of ever-changing purple energy, which can be said to be extremely soft.
It seemed that it was affected by the strange power contained in the sword, and many subtle sharp sword energies naturally appeared around it, making people feel faintly painful.
This sword seems to be as sharp as the Haocao Zijian and Bianzhu sword in the main world, which is really not normal.
Zhao Qing retreated to a more open area of the underground ice tunnel, pulled out his colorful lightsaber, and let the blades of the two swords slowly connect.
I saw that the blade of Ziwei Soft Sword was not damaged at all, but the blade of Rainbow Light Sword, under the pressure of less than half of her strength, appeared a damaged gap with almost no resistance, just like the former was the
A real sword, the latter is just a scrap of copper and iron.
However, as far as Zhao Qing knows, the rainbow lightsaber made of the above-grade cold iron can actually easily cut through ordinary swords. It is one of the top weapons she has seen in the three worlds. p>
So, what is the reason that makes the Ziwei Soft Sword far more sharp than the Rainbow Sword?
Zhao Qing sensed the sudden yin and yang, the intersecting force of yin and yang in the sword, and gradually came to a realization, guessing that this extremely sharp sword contained some high-level energy related to the "Shattered Void".
.
Even the "void" can break it, and it is naturally easy to deal with cold iron and black iron that are still ordinary things.
And this kind of energy was definitely not possessed by Dugu Qiubai, who was far from reaching the "Refining the Void" at that time, or it came from an ancient expert who truly broke through to the realm of "Shattered Void", or it came from
An extraterrestrial artifact like the Heshi Bi in "The Legend of Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty".
In fact, before the age of thirty, Dugu Qiubai was far from the level of "virtual". At most, he could only indirectly use the sharpness of this sword, and it was impossible to sense the supernatural power contained in it. p>
I don’t know if he, who later became a master of martial arts, noticed something unusual and wanted to find the Ziwei Soft Sword?
Perhaps part of the reason why Dugu Qiubai and the sweeping monk made an appointment to fight at the bottom of the cold pool was that they were vaguely aware that the soft sword that was discarded at the time contained the secret to a higher realm, so through a kind of secret
The induction from the underworld determined the location here.
Gradually sensing the strange energy in the crape myrtle soft sword, Zhao Qing slowly deepened his understanding of yin and yang. At the same time, he also got some key inspiration from the name of the sword "crape myrtle".
"Ziwei" is connected to "Ziwei", that is, "Ziwei star", which is the emperor star in the middle of the South and North Dipper. It is the most noble star and controls the lunar sun and the five elements. The yin and yang and the five elements of heaven and earth revolve around it.
And isn't the strange energy in this sword just like "Purple Microwave", which contains the yin and yang and the five elements of heaven and earth, and evolves in thousands of ways?
Somehow, she had a clear perception of the origin of this sword.
It should be an ancient master who had cultivated both "Ultimate Yin Wuji" and "Ultimate Yang Wuji". He cut open the void with his sword and flew away, causing a small part of the high-level energy escaping from the void to be integrated into the sword body.
Among them, a sharp and special effect was produced.
But it is a pity that this high-level energy is not much in quantity, and after hundreds of thousands of years of time changes, it is almost gone, and it is completely integrated with the Ziwei Soft Sword, making it difficult to separate.
It cannot be absorbed by anyone.
Perhaps in the heyday of this sword, the killing power would be much greater. As long as you get within a few feet of the sword, unless you are a great master of the "Void Refining" level, you will be injured mentally and infurially.
, difficult to truly contact.
Therefore, even though he was unable to absorb and analyze the energy inside it, Zhao Qing was not frustrated. It was enough that this sword, which exuded a strange aura, could be used as a reference for his own practice.
Compared with Dugu Qiufei, who had obtained the treasure but abandoned it for many years, he was undoubtedly much luckier.
Immersed in the feeling of the treasure, Zhao Qing gently waved the crape myrtle soft sword, and the deep purple sword light gushed out, gradually expanding the entire underground ice path by a few feet. Only then did she suddenly realize that she was already in the ice tunnel.
I stayed in this extremely cold water for two or three days.
Facing the terrifying cold power that could freeze an average expert into ice in a matter of seconds, the vitality and heat of Zhao Qing's body gradually declined. Even though he could supplement it by absorbing the essence of heaven and earth, the essence of heaven and earth here also belongs to Yin.
Cold air also has a cooling effect.
Theoretically, she should return to the surface of the cold pool where the temperature is still acceptable as soon as possible, and rest on the trees beside the pool for a period of time.
However, when the lively Dao Zhong fell into a state of silence, Zhao Qing's mind vaguely grasped a suitable opportunity. Instead of floating up and leaving quickly, he dived towards the deepest part of the ice path and returned to the black ice.
The edge of a thick wall.
Compared with other places, the edge of the ice wall where there are some magma radiating heat in the distance is considered to be the hottest place.
The Ziwei Soft Sword, which contains strange energy, naturally stopped in this area under the traction of Qi, which actually proved a lot of things.
"One yin and one yang are called Tao." There is no doubt that the heat of magma here and the cold power of black ice naturally meet. It is the perfect place to understand the changes of yin and yang and how Tao follows nature.
Fixing the crape myrtle soft sword in a nearby position, Zhao Qing immersed himself in the cold and deep water, and connected the soul with the gestating Tao seed. He put away all the heat in his body, and in this competition
The bottom of the cold pool is still tens of feet deep, and it has entered a state similar to fetal breath.
After reaching the end of her realm of "returning to emptiness", her control of body functions reached a whole new level. She has completely gone without grains. She no longer needs to eat fruits and vegetables every once in a while, but all her needs are supplied by the essence of heaven and earth.
.
The five senses were closed, the senses were cut off, and in the absolute silence, Zhao Qing entered the state of sitting and forgetting, with his back pressed against the ice wall, similar to the previous situation with the Ziwei Soft Sword, which was chaotic and empty.
, there is no silence, and the spirit is unified.
In this chaotic state, she completely lost her sense and idea of time. Thousands of years of time can be just the length of a finger.
Without Zhao Qing noticing, the majestic cold power in the thick wall of black ice slowly and unstoppably seeped into her body, undergoing an indescribable change.
