Chapter 227 The first retreat to practice [5000 chapters, please vote for me]
Escaping from the Yuanyan Mountain was an unexpected gain.
But the price is a bit high. The Sky Boat of Resentment is scary and dangerous. If you don't pay attention, you will die on it.
Xu Mo didn't know where he was at this moment. It was a lake deep in the mountains. It was rarely visited by people, but it was quite quiet. There were mountains in the distance, and even further away, there was the sky.
Monk Shui Quhai also had Xuan Zhenzi, and Xuan Yizi didn't know where he fell after jumping off the ship.
It's nowhere to be found right now.
Xu Mo didn't plan to look for it either.
Monk Shui Quhai has incomparable magical power, he has also mastered a palm technique that is comparable to that of the Buddha, and his master is secretly protecting him, so he should be fine.
As for the two Taoist priests Xuanzhen and Xuanyi, they are also extremely capable and can more than protect themselves.
Xu Mo has more important things to do. Although the weirdness in his body has reached a certain balance now, he has no idea how long this balance can be maintained.
And after experiencing this, Xu Mo also knew his shortcomings very well.
If there are shortcomings, they must be made up for.
"I just started practicing the "Twenty-Four Huangting True Alchemy Techniques" before and was interrupted. This time, I will take advantage of the quietness of this place to continue practicing until I encounter a bottleneck."
Not to mention, although Xu Mo almost lost his life on the Resentment Sky Boat, he also gained something.
Especially when watching chess and getting into the situation, it can be said that my understanding of practice has improved tremendously.
These things must be digested as soon as possible.
Looking around, Xu Mo sank to the bottom of the lake, still sitting cross-legged on the big rock before, and began to continue practicing his "Twenty-Four Huangting True Alchemy Techniques".
The orthodox exercises pursued by Xu Mo, the cultivation methods of the Sanqing Great Sect, although the results are very slow, if you analyze them carefully, you will know that they are the ones with a solid foundation.
It's like hearing the fable of the three little pigs when I was a kid.
Thatched house, wooden house, brick house.
The difficulty of construction is completely different. A thatched house can be built quickly and fell down just as quickly. Just like a cultivator practicing the "Secret Technique of Human Elixir", nine times out of ten, the attempt to draw water from a bamboo basket will be in vain.
On the contrary, it is a brick house, just like the method of Sanqing Dajiao that Xu Mo is now practicing. It is difficult and slow to produce results, but it is stable. Once it is built, it can be done once and for all.
Anyone with a little foresight can practice this kind of practice.
But unfortunately, although people in the world are smart, most of them are short-sighted.
That's right, you can't survive it now, let alone in the future. Didn't Xu Mo himself pursue quick success methods at the beginning?
The situation forced us to do nothing.
But now and then, what Xu Mo is doing now is to tear down the old dilapidated house and build a stronger one.
The lake became quiet.
Just like in the beginning, when the sun rose and set, passersby occasionally passed by, but they did not dare to approach the lake, because the locals knew that this place was evil and unknown.
There's no benefit in getting closer.
People come and go, but most of the time it's still quiet.
One day, the world was in chaos.
Many ordinary people don't know what happened, but there are also well-informed people who know that something big happened in Kyoto of the Great Xia Dynasty.
One of these major events was the landslide of the Great Xia Emperor.
The bigger thing is that several princes compete for the throne and fight, causing chaos in the world.
The group of dragons was leaderless, so the princes below naturally started to think about it, not to mention that there was something strange behind this matter from beginning to end.
Therefore, the situation of troubled times has arrived and is inevitable.
A month after the emperor's landslide, even remote areas were affected by the chaos. People from all walks of life were fighting each other, and it was impossible to tell which family was an official and which family was a bandit.
Or, in the current situation, the officers and soldiers are the bandit soldiers, and the bandit soldiers are the officers and soldiers.
Who can tell the difference clearly?
But all this seems to have nothing to do with the lake in the mountain.
Here, it's still quiet.
Until that day, a group of soldiers and horses passed by, and the soldiers and horses were still escorting a group of people.
Most of them were men, with no clothes on their bodies, and their hands were tied with ropes and strung together in a string.
This is a captured young man.
Nowadays, troops are being recruited everywhere. Even in a small county government, there are soldiers. At present, they are all doing their own things. Some people rely on a certain prince and want to make a profit after the world is settled.
Some take advantage of the situation and seek profit for themselves.
What's more, he occupies the mountain and becomes the king, becoming the emperor of Xiaoyaotu.
These are troubled times, and people are like weeds.
"Sir, Commander-in-Chief, I heard that this lake is unlucky. It is infested by water monsters and is extremely dangerous." The deputy commander came over and reported to the Commander-in-Chief who was leading the team.
The commander-in-chief was a black-bearded man wearing armor and carrying a sword. After hearing this, he sneered and said with disdain: "Now that the world is in chaos, whoever has a sword, who has soldiers and horses, whoever has a big fist can decide the life and death of others. There really is a water monster, but I am.
I want to see something.”
He is obviously not afraid of anything.
The deputy commander knew that he could not be persuaded, so he could only keep silent.
They were originally soldiers of the state capital, but they were defeated some time ago and all the adults in the state capital were killed. These soldiers fled in all directions and later regrouped.
The commander-in-chief who led the team also knew the general trend of the world, so he simply recruited strong men along the road to join the team and strengthen the team. He planned to find a mountain top, occupy the mountain and become the king of the country.
No matter who becomes emperor in the future, he will lead his troops to surrender and earn an official position, which is not a loss anyway.
At this time, some of the young men who were captured were making trouble, saying that they wanted to go back to find their wives and children.
"Prison head? Bring me here!"
The commander-in-chief had a gloomy face.
After a while, several shirtless men were brought over, and several of them knelt down in front of the commander-in-chief, begging to be let go home.
"I have an old mother, wife and children at home, waiting for me to return..."
Before he finished speaking, the commander-in-chief slashed at him with his steel knife.
Because the chop was done vertically, the head was cut directly into two pieces.
Flesh, flesh, and white brains were scattered all over the floor.
The corpse fell to the ground with a thud, twitched twice and became motionless.
The commander-in-chief was so ferocious and cruel that he directly suppressed several other strong men. They were all so frightened that they were as silent as ice. Even many soldiers frowned at the sight.
However, they are soft-spoken, and even if they say it, it will be of no use, and they will involve themselves in it.
"Whoever makes trouble again will be killed directly without having to retaliate against me."
The commander sheathed his sword.
Just then, the clouds gathered and the wind suddenly started blowing.
The person who blows can't open his eyes.
After opening their eyes, everyone discovered something squatting next to the corpse.
He is a naked child.
This child is extremely weird. He has two heads and three arms. He looks like a deformed child. He looks like he is five or six years old. No one knows when this guy came or where he came from. Anyway, he is squatting on the ground at the moment and is pulling things off the ground with his hands.
Human brain, stuffed into mouth, and sucked on fingers.
He yelled that it was delicious, and also said that it was a pity and scattered it all over the floor.
The soldiers around were stunned.
It was clearly afternoon at this time, and there was originally sunshine, but the sky was covered by clouds and rain. The daytime looked almost the same as the evening, extremely dark. Naturally, this deformed child who suddenly appeared and ate human brains looked even more terrifying and weird.
"Where did that shit come from!"
The commander-in-chief scolded the child with a sullen face, but he was not stupid. Instead, he ordered the soldiers to go up and chop the child down, but he himself took a step back.
The soldiers had never seen this before and did not dare to step forward. However, there were some brave ones who knew that if they did this well, they might be able to be reused by the general, so they stepped forward with spears and stabbed him.
Unexpectedly, the child seemed to have eyes on the back of his head. Without raising his head, he grabbed one arm behind his back, holding the tip of the gun, and then pulled the soldier over. Then with a scream of terror, he was knocked
Torn off the head.
Really, it was torn apart.
Then the weird two-headed child giggled and started to chew on the human head. The food tasted delicious.
"Monster, monster!"
Some soldiers were frightened and backed away. After all, they were experts at bullying ordinary people, but when it came to dealing with weirdos, they were no different from ordinary people. They were as timid as rats and their courage was almost shattered.
Some of the smart ones have already retreated behind the crowd, ready to escape at any moment.
But these people soon discovered that there were two people standing outside.
A man and a woman, both elderly, looked at each other like an ordinary elderly couple.
But the question is, when did these two people come?
"My dear son, what do you want to eat?" The old woman came over with a smile and walked towards the middle of the crowd. Every one of the soldiers along the way backed away in fear and made way for them.
The son the old woman talks about is a deformed child who eats people.
The problem is, this old woman doesn't look normal. The other person said she was walking, but in fact, she was almost floating. Moreover, the voice she just spoke did not come from the other person's mouth.
It was from the old woman's chest and abdomen.
Look carefully, there seems to be something hidden there.
It's so weird.
At this moment, even the murderous commander-in-chief didn't say a word. He had already sensed that something was wrong.
"What about eating meat? Okay, okay, although this brain is not very good, it is better than freshness. Eat more, eat more, and you will grow stronger."
"Old lady, don't look at it, just eat it too." Behind, the weird old man also spoke.
At this moment, the commander turned around and looked so scared that he almost peed his pants.
The old man had doubled in height at some point, but his limbs had grown out of proportion. The corners of his mouth were cleft to his ears. He was now holding a person and chewing on it.
That man, half of his body had been eaten away, and he looked like he was a soldier under his command.
But the question is, when did you kill the person, why was there no movement at all?
The scene at the scene was like a nightmare, constantly stimulating everyone's brains, and the commander-in-chief discovered a problem. He had more than two hundred men under his command.
Why does it look like it's not even half of it now?
Where did the rest of the people go?
Looking back, I found that behind the old man's butt, there was another body. The body was very long, like some kind of insect magnified a hundred times.
The body at the back was covered with spikes, and now the spikes were covered with corpses.
They are all his men.
There are people and horses.
The commander-in-chief's originally murderous and ferocious temperament collapsed at this moment, and he felt a fear he had never experienced before.
Some corpses have fallen into the lake, staining the surface of the lake red.
This scene is so scary.
He ran away almost without thinking.
"No one can run away!" The old woman laughed strangely, and then chased after him like a ghost. She hugged the commander in her arms and heard a strange clicking sound. Blood spurted out from the commander's mouth. He wanted to speak, but still couldn't.
After saying this, I saw that all the flesh and blood on his stomach and chest had been eaten away.
There is a deformed monster on the old woman's belly. It was the one who spoke before and the one who ate people.
"Haha, I can't even run away, I can't even run away!" The bicephalic child also clapped his hands happily at this moment.
At this time, the surrounding soldiers were frightened and began to flee for their lives.
But just as these three strange things said, they are being targeted and cannot escape.
"If you can't eat anything, save it and eat it slowly!" The strange old man from behind told the couple in front of him, with a smile on his face, very pleased, as if he was a family of three out for an outing.
But at this moment, someone next to me said: "That's almost enough. What you are doing is wasteful and contrary to the laws of heaven!"
The weird old man was stunned.
He turned around and saw a young man standing next to him.
The other party had his hands behind his back and seemed to be strolling leisurely, but at this moment, the strange old man looked like he was facing a formidable enemy.
Before, it had not noticed the other person's aura at all.
Even now, even if I see it with my eyes, I still don't notice it.
Sometimes, not noticing any breath is the scariest thing.
This shows that the other party's cultivation level is far superior to his own.
"You don't care about your wife and children? Then I'll help you take care of them!"
The man stretched out his hand, and a cold light flew out. He didn't know what it was. Anyway, he turned around, the cold light surged, and it became quiet over there.
The remaining soldiers had already fled, and the strange old woman and the two-headed child had disappeared.
Dead!
The strange old man's eyelids twitched wildly.
The heart is full of hatred, but it has practiced for many years and knows that it cannot afford to offend the person in front of it.
"Senior, why are you embarrassing us like this? We have just been hungry for a long time and came out to find something to eat." The strange old man begged for mercy.
At this time, a cold light flew back and hung in the air.
It's a rusty sword.
Looking at the sword, the weird old man's slightest thought of a sneak attack disappeared.
It knew that it was no match for the person in front of it.
As long as a person has a thought, he will be killed by this sword.
It can't be stopped no matter how hard it tries.
"Some people are not as good as animals, even worse than you. Kill them. This is called purging humanity. But you should never do it. You are too greedy. Many people should not die. Although this is
In the chaotic world, demons and evil spirits come out, and I can't stop them. But if I bump into them, I have to take care of them. Besides, this time you bumped into my head. I have been cultivating well, but I am disturbed by you, and that's it, I will die!"
After saying that, he raised his hand.
The weird old man's heart was beating wildly. He couldn't sit still and wanted to fight back, but all his power was destroyed before it could be condensed.
Moreover, it was able to cut hundreds of swords in a row. Even though its body was huge, it could not withstand this. It was directly cut into pieces by random blades, and died miserably.
The person who killed these three weird people was naturally Xu Mo who was practicing at the bottom of the lake.
During this retreat, I was practicing the "Twenty-Four Huangting True Alchemy Techniques" and I was so mesmerized that I didn't realize that time was flying by. If I hadn't been disturbed, I wouldn't have known that so much time had passed.
"Looking at the chaos that has arisen, the Emperor of Daxia must have died, and he has been dead for a while. Otherwise, the aftermath would not have reached here. In this way, I will be in seclusion for at least two months."
Xu Mo counted the time.
It took a lot of time, but the rewards were also huge.
"Twenty-Four Huangting True Alchemy Techniques", he has reached the middle stage of practice, and has improved greatly. His true Taoism and cultivation have surpassed the level of five sword demons killed in the last cycle.
In addition, the "Twenty-Four Huangting True Alchemy Jue" also contains an understanding of the way of swordsmanship.
Different from the trap-like "Qinglian Sword Code", the swordsmanship in "Twenty-Four Huangting True Alchemy Techniques" lies in the improvement of sword intent and does not require specific sword moves.
It's the kind that requires understanding, and you can improve after understanding it. If you don't understand it, you won't improve even if you practice for thousands of years.
The so-called understanding is enlightenment.
If you understand, the sky is vast and the earth is vast; if you don't understand, you will still sink into the sea of suffering.
Fortunately, Xu Mo realized it.
Therefore, his swordsmanship broke away from the trap set by the original sword master, walked out of the opponent's path, and opened up a new route.
This is an extremely important part for Xu Mo.
There are also twelve golden elixirs in the body.
If he really cultivates the "Twenty-Four Huangting True Alchemy Techniques" to perfection and has the twenty-four golden elixirs, then Xu Mo can also be called a "land god".
But "Twenty-Four Huangting True Alchemy Techniques" is not so easy to practice.
In fact, Xu Mo has already encountered a bottleneck.
Therefore, even if you continue to practice, it will not make much sense.
Now that the world is in chaos, Xu Mo plans to continue walking, wandering around, looking for a way to break through.
By the way, look for Monk Shui, Xuanzhen and the others.
"By the way, has Xiang Ying not woken up yet?" Xu Mo looked into the distance and sensed the Tiger Soul Sword.
The Tiger Soul Sword is still there and has not flown back, which means Xiang Ying is not awake yet.
have no choice!
At this time, the blood eye on Xu Mo's forehead opened, but this blood eye no longer had the terrifying aura as before. Although it was still extremely evil, it could be used by Xu Mo.
"If you open the blood eye, your strength will double. However, you cannot use the blood eye indiscriminately, otherwise it will easily break the balance."
On the contrary, the same goes for Xu Mo's withered left hand.
The ‘power of desolation’ above is equally strange and dangerous.
The same can be used.
Can be used to absorb strange essences.
Xu Mo sucked the strange things from the family of three with his bare hands, transforming them into spiritual energy and strengthening himself.
If you feel resentful, just hold the baby for a while and let her eat it.
Not to mention, Xu Mo gradually found a path suitable for his own cultivation.
Fifty miles away from the mountain, there is an intersection.
In peacetime, there were inns and inns here, where you could rest and take a rest. However, during the troubled times, this place became deserted. Several rooms were empty, and the tables, chairs, and sundries that were of some use had been evacuated, leaving only
Most of the things that couldn't be moved were damaged.
In peacetime, the days are not sunny, but blue skies and white clouds are common.
But since the advent of troubled times, the weather has never been clear. It's either cloudy or raining, or it's gray and foggy, with flying sand and dust blocking the sky.
Xu Mo looked at the intersection and saw that the flag on the inn had been broken, leaving only half of it still swinging in the wind. The broken lantern was blown by the wind and made a crackling sound.
There are also loose door panels, which also make rhythmic noises, telling the past glory of this place.
Xu Mo walked along the way and did not ride against the wind.
Since coming out of seclusion, although Xu Mo's cultivation has improved and his Taoism has become more and more stable, he still has an extremely strange and weird feeling.
It seemed as if something invisible and increasingly dangerous was approaching.
This is just a feeling of Xu Mo. It can be said that there is no basis other than the feeling. It may be just some kind of illusion or even a hallucination.
But this did not prevent Xu Mo from feeling gradually uneasy.
It feels like something is always going to happen.
The wind outside became louder and louder, and the sky became darker and darker. By evening, it was no different from nightfall.
It also rained.
The rain came quickly, and the large raindrops covered the area in a few seconds. Xu Mo hid in the deserted station and thought about ways to break through the bottleneck.
After a while, Xu Mo opened his eyes and looked at the door. A moment later, there was the sound of horse hooves outside, and another moment later, two people wearing raincoats stepped in.
Seeing Xu Mo, the two men were slightly startled. At first, they felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy. One of them took out an object, which seemed to be a small bamboo cage. He shook it and saw that there was no movement in the bamboo cage, and seemed to be relieved.
This mood changed very quickly. Xu Mo didn't know why, but it was hard to ask. Unexpectedly, these two people came over and asked Xu Mo: "Who are you?"
It’s another big chapter in the early morning. If you have votes, please cast a few. Thank you very much!
