Chapter 253: Eternal Spring Valley, Yuanqi Network (4k)
For more than twenty days, in the high mountains to the north of Shanju County in Dali and south of Tubo, Zhao Qing was walking alone on the mountain road with a colorful lightsaber and a sheathed crape myrtle sword. The higher he went, the harder the road became.
It’s getting steeper and steeper.
These days, her mastery of "Taiyin True Water" has finally returned to the level before the breakthrough, and she will advance in a more subtle direction based on her understanding of "the unity of heaven and man".
At the same time, Zhao Qing also tried to refine the golden energy contained in the crape myrtle soft sword, but due to the excessive sharpness on the surface of the sword and the strange energy, he never succeeded.
According to her estimate, it may be necessary to improve the purity of the "Taiyin True Water" by one or two steps, reaching the state of the Yin Taiji Formation, and only after the quality is close to the strange energy, can it break through its barrier.
Otherwise, although I can rely on the accumulated amount of "Taiyin True Water" to forcefully break through the edge of the strange energy, I will probably destroy the entire crape myrtle soft sword along with it, which is really not worth the gain.
When leaving the Jueqing Valley, Zhao Qing, like Dugu Qiubai, carved his sword theory into the valley leading to Cold Water Pond.
After that, she headed towards the general direction of the "Everlasting Valley of Eternal Life", and when passing through Dali, she asked the locals for advice on the Naxi language and found out the more accurate location of the "Everlasting Valley of Eternal Life".
According to rumors in nearby areas, the "Eternal Spring Valley" has deep valleys and dense forests outside, and the peaks block the way, making it difficult for outsiders to enter the valley. Everyone there lives to be over a hundred years old, and the centenarians all have black hair and red faces, as if they were ten years old.
Boys and girls next year are average.
Occasionally, there will be people in the valley pulling the long vines on the big pine trees and swinging out of the valley, but once they come out, they can't go back.
The people who came out had white faces and red lips, and were very young and beautiful. However, within a few days of living outside the valley, their black hair turned snow-white, their backs were hunched, and their faces were covered with wrinkles. Within a few days, they seemed to have aged a hundred years.
He will die in a few days.
Therefore, people outside said that there were monsters in the valley, and no one dared to go in.
In Zhao Qing's opinion, people in the valley will die of old age in a few days after they come out. This is probably because they are out of the environment in the valley and can no longer drink Changchun spring water, so they have returned to the physiological functions that match their age, completely different from the so-called monsters.
Not relevant.
Even if there are monsters, due to the limitations of the world, they are at best large clams and ice silkworms, and they lack intelligence, so they will never have amazing strength.
Two hundred years ago, Xiaoyaozi's martial arts at that time was only at the level of "refining the gods", but he was able to take away the "divine book" from the Eternal Spring Valley. It can be seen that even though there are dangers in the valley, the threat level is only average.
As the road became more dangerous and steeper, Zhao Qing climbed mountains and ridges, crossing deep ravines. In the evening of this day, he finally arrived at the edge of the Everlasting Valley.
But I saw an abyss hundreds of feet deep appearing in front of me. In the distance, a cliff rose from the ground. Dangerous peaks stood tall, and strange rocks were jagged, straight into the sky, like a blue dragon holding its head high, with extraordinary momentum.
Tall ancient pines grow on the cracks of the cliff. The trees are wrapped with green vines. Some of them hang down from the edge of the cliff. They are forty or fifty feet long. They are densely packed and cover a spot on the cliff.
The inconspicuous entrance to the valley.
Looking at the cliffs and ancient pines on the opposite side from a distance, Zhao Qing's heart moved and he knew that he had found the entrance to the Eternal Spring Valley.
No wonder you can't go back after you say the valley. There is an abyss twenty to thirty feet wide as a barrier, so you can just swing out by leaning on the vines. If you want to return to the valley, you will only need the light kung fu of an extremely skilled master.
Of course, for Zhao Qing, this chasm that ordinary people think is insurmountable can be passed easily.
She just jumped across the abyss, grabbed the long vine hanging from the tree, and swung straight into the entrance of the valley, where she caught a glimpse of a large number of animal bones piled up on the edge of the cliff.
These animals died suddenly before they completely left the valley, so their bones were piled on the edge of the cliff?
Zhao Qing's thoughts moved slightly, and he couldn't help but be a little more vigilant. He used the aura integrated into the "Taiyin True Water" to distort the air and entered a semi-invisible state, and continued to walk towards the valley.
Passing through the entrance of the Everlasting Valley, I saw stretches of dense forest in front of me. Looking up the mountain, the cliffs stretch like a screen, with caves and gullies everywhere, and there are flowing springs, flowing through rugged rocks, sparse trees, and blooming flowers.
, very different from the cold winter outside, just like spring.
The quiet spring in the empty mountain, the melodious sound of the water, the sound like the cracking of the silver bottle of the water waterfall, the rustling of the trees in the passing mountain breeze, mixed with the chirping of insects and birds full of spring, are like a fairyland on earth.
After walking for a few more miles, she finally saw the first figure in the valley. She was a young girl wearing Naxi costumes. She was wearing a bright and bright broad-breasted wide-sleeved cloth robe. She was singing Naxi folk songs.
Some kind of fresh fruit is being picked by the bushes by the stream.
Further away, on the flat and empty grassland, along a clear stream, there are some wooden houses dotted here and there, with about twenty or thirty households.
It was evening, and in the open space in the center of many wooden houses, bonfires had been lit, with a large pot of food set up on top, and dozens of young men and women dancing around the fire.
Further out, a dozen men and women dressed like elders, but equally young in appearance, looked at their children with smiles and chatted about today's trivial matters.
What surprised Zhao Qing was that according to her perception, each of the forty or fifty people in this settlement possessed first-class or even top-notch zhenqi and internal strength in the world outside.
The big Shaolin Temple is much stronger.
Relying on the Naxi language that he had just learned, Zhao Qing was somewhat surprised to learn from the chats of these people who had similar but not identical accents to the Naxi people outside that this was just a small settlement in Changchun Valley. The total number of people
Less than one-twentieth of the population in the valley.
If there were really thousands of top-notch warriors, they could completely defeat an army of hundreds of thousands, which is a bit outrageous.
Moreover, after Zhao Qing got closer, he sensed more carefully that the internal energy in these people's bodies was quite similar to the internal energy of the Xiaoyao Sect. Although it was a bit rough in operation, the true energy was full of vitality and most likely had the effect of extending life. Could it be that everyone has practiced a weakened version of the "Eternal Life Eternal Spring Kung Fu" and has achieved some success?
However, when he saw a young man struggling to carry a two-hundred-pound cauldron, Zhao Qing immediately changed his original view and judged that although these people had internal strength, they did not know how to use it correctly at all, and could only use it to their full potential.
Less than half the effect.
This kind of efficiency in the use of internal force is undoubtedly low to an absurd level: you know, even if there is no way to use internal force at all, just relying on the strength bonus when the true energy flows normally outside the body, you can generally use 30 to 40% of it.
Effect.
Under such circumstances, the internal strength that is no less than that of a top-notch player can basically only perform at the level of a fourth- or fifth-rate mediocre player. If there are no matching moves, then it is only equivalent to a strong man with a strong body.
.
As far as Zhao Qing knows, the only examples in the martial arts that cannot exert much power without learning external skills are the Xiaoyao sect.
In the original work, after Xu Zhu was taught the martial arts by Wu Yazi, he could use less than 10% of his internal strength because he had never learned the martial arts of the Xiaoyao sect. It was not until later, after a period of guidance from Tong Lao, that he could
Beiming's true energy has reached 30 to 40% of its heat.
The efficiency of these Naxi people in the Everlasting Changchun Valley is even more extreme. It can be said that they are closely related to each other.
Using spiritual suggestions, Zhao Qing made several of the elders ignore their outsider characteristics. Zhao Qing asked them some relevant questions and found that these people did not know what internal strength was and had no understanding of acupoints and meridians.
After living in the valley for a long time, I naturally developed deep inner strength.
At the same time, she also inquired about some news related to the "Eternal Spring Spring" in the valley. She learned that the "Eternal Spring Spring" that allows people to drink and stay young forever is located deep in the Everlasting Spring Valley, and the owner of the valley lives next to it.
With several elders.
In addition to the most precious spring in the depths of the valley, most of the other streams and springs in the valley are interconnected with the water flow of the "Changchun Spring" underground, and they also have some weakening effects.
However, if you want to live over a hundred years and still look like a boy or a girl, you have to go and drink the water of the "Changchun Spring" every few days.
……
And the owner of the valley, the elder? By the way, if you rely on some kind of "Eternal Age Eternal Spring Kung Fu" to extend your life and keep your appearance, the people in the valley shouldn't die of old age very quickly when they go to the outside world, right?
Zhao Qing was deep in thought as he walked along the road by the stream for nearly ten miles into the valley, passing through four or five settlements similar to the ones before, before arriving at the core area of Everlasting Spring Valley.
I saw here a short peak about thirty feet high. At the top of the peak was a clear and deep water pool seven or eight feet wide, and about ten feet away from the water's edge, there were five or six exquisite-looking stone houses.
.
There is a gap on the edge of the pool. The clear spring water, as cold as fairy dew, pours down from the high rocks here and falls into the other two sinking pools that gradually descend, showing the appearance of a waterfall. The water mist
Diffuse and exceptionally beautiful.
Knowing that this is the rumored "Eternal Spring Spring" that can keep people young forever, and the biggest secret of the Eternal Spring Valley, Zhao Qing took some clear spring water and carefully explored and sensed it.
I found that although it contained great vitality and was considered a good natural and earthly treasure, it was still far from being able to allow the drinker to generate deep inner strength on his own and extend his life and keep his appearance.
What is going on? Could it be that the reason why people in the valley live longer is related to their own physical constitution?
With the doubts in his heart, although Zhao Qing had some suspicions that there was any danger in it, which might bind the drinker's life to the scope of the Eternal Spring Valley and prevent him from leaving the valley, but with the ability to decompose it into the essence of heaven and earth at any time,
She decided to try some drinks herself.
Feeling the spring water that tasted like fairy dew and nectar, and carefully sensing the situation after drinking the spring water, Zhao Qing thought for a while, relaxed his mind, let the true energy in the body flow naturally, and quietly waited for the changes in the body to appear.
.
After a period of time, she gradually felt that her true energy seemed to be affected by waves of invisible fluctuations, creating a weak resonance with each other, and there was a tendency to slowly change the direction of flow.
Is it really possible for people to circulate their Qi on their own and gradually generate internal strength? How is this done?
Zhao Qing thought secretly in his heart, and silently recorded the changes in the flow of Qi in his body, and used this to deduce the matching technique. After drinking a lot of spring water and spending half a day, he finally launched a corresponding technique.
"Eternal Youth Kung Fu".
After trying to run her internal energy according to the route of this "Eternal Age Gong" for a while, she gradually felt that the true energy in her body was increasingly affected by invisible fluctuations, and the resonance was no longer subtle.
As the resonance of the true energy becomes stronger and stronger, it seems that a boundary has been broken. Zhao Qing imitates a small amount of the true energy of the Everlasting Changchun Gong, and circulates and exchanges with the essence of the outside world in all directions, as if connected to a huge
Yuanqi Network.
In her sense of "the unity of heaven and man", small heavens and earth seemed to appear between heaven and earth, and a series of vitality bridges formed a huge spiritual energy cycle, connecting her with other people in the valley.
.
After carefully sensing and confirming this, Zhao Qing was suddenly shocked and finally discovered part of the mystery.
The spring water of Everlasting Spring is not the real source of the longevity of the people in the valley, or in other words, it is just an introduction that makes them live longer.
What really has the effect of extending life and preserving beauty, as I had guessed before, is indeed the self-operating effect of the "Eternal Age and Changchun Kung".
But the reason why their internal strength is quite deep is because the Changchun Spring acts as a primer, and coupled with the anomalies of the Everlasting Valley itself, it connects and fuses the auras of everyone in the valley;
This caused the essence and spirit of the residents in the thousands of valleys to resonate, thus forming a super-large aura with the Changchun Spring deep in the valley as the core, covering a radius of more than ten miles, and inspiring the people in the aura to absorb the essence of heaven and earth on their own.
Even without deliberate practice, the rate at which internal energy is accumulated is many times faster than that of normal people.
This kind of situation that I don’t know how to form, but is extremely special, allows the inner energy of the residents in the valley to form a unified whole that is difficult to separate from each other.
The real "Eternal Age Kung Fu" is actually a group technique composed of thousands of people in the valley as the basic unit of the magical technique. Only within the scope of a giant aura can it have the effect of extending life and maintaining beauty.
Amazing effects.
Once the people in the valley leave the Eternal Spring Valley, they are like a giant whose body has lost a small piece of skin and flesh, which is no longer connected to the human body. They have lost their source of nutrition and will soon lose their activity, become rotten, and decompose.
For a pile of bones.
Similar to the people in the valley, some animals living in the valley should also have a very small amount of "Eternal Age and Eternal Spring Kung" internal energy;
However, due to the lack of spiritual intelligence, the meridians are weaker than human beings, and the cultivation level is almost non-existent. When one reaches the end of his lifespan, he will die of old age as soon as he leaves the range of the aura, and the time he can sustain is far less than that of human beings.
Thinking of this, Zhao Qing had some doubts. The reason why Xiaoyaozi finally developed a magical skill similar to the realm was probably partly inspired by the strange situation in the Eternal Spring Valley.
Just as she temporarily stopped simulating the "Eternal Life Kung Fu" and prepared to go to other locations in the valley to use zone induction to explore this group magical skill, two girls walked out of a stone house next to the water pool, heading in the direction of Zhao Qing.
He looked over and said hello:
"This foreign guest is invited by our valley owner."
