Chapter 181: Lingren, Art of War, Dragon and Snake
Xun Shen had no way of knowing what Gui Wujiu had in mind. However, at this time, Xun Shen's heart was filled with thoughts and feelings of disappointment and joy.
If he were an ordinary Taoist, he would never allow such negative emotions to invade his heart, and he would definitely suppress them. However, Xun Shen understood the principle of "Tao follows nature" and knew that he could only slowly appease and refine his mind, completely straighten out his original mind, and achieve the goal of "always being unfazed".
Only with a "doubting" state of mind can success be considered successful.
Blindly suppressing and treating the symptoms but not the root cause will only create a psychological defense line of self-deception and comfort. It will only increase the mental burden on oneself in vain, and sooner or later the causeway will break.
This is also the reason why after he used the magical power of "Hidden Mirror", he suddenly slowed down his pace and explained the principles of Taoism to Gui Wujiu. In fact, it was to give his own state of mind time to adjust and buffer.
It’s a long story.
According to Xun Shen's design, the magical power of Hidden Mirror Virtual Thorn has been cultivated to the extreme. What truly defeats the enemy should still be the magical power itself, not external objects.
However, with his current state, he is still unable to maintain the illusion rift and at the same time operate a silent magical power to defeat the enemy. Even if he tries reluctantly, he will never escape the eyes and ears of Gui Wu. With a magic weapon,
It's a trade-off made out of necessity.
Originally this was nothing.
When the true disciples of various sects compete with each other, magic weapons are not prohibited. As long as the magic weapon you use is in the same line as your own divine channel method, instead of relying on a first-class treasure that is much higher than your own heavenly sacrificial weapon, it will still be considered part of your own combat power.
No one dares to question it.
The three-foot dagger that Xun Shen hid in the rift in the illusion seemed ordinary, but in fact it had an origin. Because he was entrusted by the heavenly and mysterious masters in the sect with great hopes, and all the external objects he used were of the highest quality.
The dagger is no exception.
This sword is called "Jingzhe", and although it is not a first-class "celestial sacrificial weapon", it has been refined by various supreme gods with secret methods, and its magical effect at the level of concealment is far beyond the capabilities of ordinary Nascent Soul monks.
Touched.
From this point of view, it is fine for Xun Shen to use the magical power of "Hidden Mirror", but the quality of "Jingzhe Sword" has vaguely touched the boundary of reason. Even if he wins with the help of this trick, there is a suspicion that the victory is in vain.
Xun Shen couldn't help but fall into the contradiction between loss and relief, and had to slowly reconcile it.
In the Gantang Sect, which is far away from here, Quan Shangzhen is sitting in front of a green wall ten feet high. There are several cultivators with similar auras to him beside him. They are obviously powerful of the Gantang Sect.
Waiting intently.
At this moment, he was simultaneously observing the battle situation in the Jietian Passage through the Youming Umbrella.
Seeing this situation, Quan Shangzhen was a little surprised. Xun Shen used this move, which was beyond his expectation.
It's just that this almost out-of-bounds method failed to achieve success, and the victory or defeat was small. I hope Xun Shen will not let this setback affect his fighting spirit.
However, a closer look at Xun Shen's mental outlook shows that he was neither easily frustrated nor reluctantly suppressed, but faced it calmly and adjusted it slowly, which clearly shows that he is highly regarded by the Gantang sect and has an extraordinary character.
The Dao Masters decided to set up an alliance formation in advance. It goes without saying that the outcome of this battle will be biased. Quan Shangzhen naturally knew that he was not to blame and successfully won, which was the most positive result for the fate of the Yin Sect.
But if Xun Shen suffered a setback and became depressed, that would not be what he would like to see.
In the Xiaojie Passage, Xun Shen and Gui Wujiu talked for a while, and their minds returned to perfection.
As expected, he did not break his promise. The second time he made his move was fair and honest. However, he saw him standing back more than a hundred feet, with his five fingers pointing blankly between his arms, and a gray cyclone suddenly appeared.
This object was obviously transformed by his magical power. The manifestation of this magical power could be described as "unattractive" to a cultivator at Xun Shen's level.
There is only one strange cyclone that is about a foot wide, as if it is trapped in a transparent sphere that is about a foot larger. It surges up and down, left and right, and trembles irregularly.
After another three or four breaths, the trembling amplitude of the cyclone gradually decreased until it completely stopped and floated.
In the palm of Xun Shen's hand. At the same time, there was a faint green air on Xun Shen's face, like a piece of untrained pig iron, and his body seemed to be floating, swaying in the air.
The moment this strange magical power was about to come out of his hand, a flash of cold lightning flashed in Gui Wujiu's eyes, and he drew his sword with his backhand without hesitation!
The sword rises like a crescent moon.
This sword light is exquisite and superb. It is based on Gui Wujiu's exclusive and considerate "Lu Chen" sword meaning. However, the moon halo is shallow, and it also contains the meaning of broad accommodation and outstanding weather. It is obviously digested and absorbed by the ancient Kongyun.
Recite the many essences of the "scabbard" of the sword.
This sword that harmonizes the inside and outside, apart from the body of the "Kong Yun Nian Sword", is the strongest sword in Gui Wu Guo's hands when it comes to the actual sword-shaped sword technique!
The moment when the sword was released was exactly the same moment when the strange cyclone that had been accumulating for a long time in Xun Shen's hand was released. It was exactly the same moment. It was as if the two of them had agreed on a time to verify the power of the two magical powers.
Xun Shen's second magical power is called "Ling Ren", and its meaning is profound.
This magical power may seem insignificant in appearance, but it contains infinite domineering and aggressive expansion. It can be described as "infinitely poisonous". As long as the opponent hesitates a little, wait until the domineering power of "Ling Ren" pervades, and then wants to resist.
, which is very difficult.
At that time, even if the magical power can withstand the enemy's mistakes, it will inevitably wander, causing a feeling of inadequacy, and eventually slipping into failure step by step.
With one move, the fighting spirit is strong and the body is corroded. This is the essence of "Lingren".
To deal with this move, the only way to break the momentum is to muster up the courage to attack with all your strength, and to attack at the moment when the magical power takes over.
The so-called "the brave will win when we meet on a narrow road" is exactly the essence of deciphering this technique.
But what's even more powerful is that Xun Shen's "Lingren" style hides the way to attack the heart and is usually not used alone. Therefore, the success is extremely certain.
Just like the "hidden mirror" magical power used first, there are as many as twelve kinds of magical secret techniques mastered by Xun Shen that use concealment and transformation to achieve success.
When fighting the enemy, Xun Shen always used a mysterious and profound magical power as a prelude to catch him by surprise and attack him unprepared.
It would be great if you achieve success in one fell swoop. Even if you fail to succeed, your opponent will be greatly frightened.
At this time, Xun Shen once again used his "Lingren" magical power. If the opponent thought that Xun Shen's magical power style was all about changing and changing, and was a little cautious and hesitant, the victory would be ruined.
The essence of the "Soldier Immortal"'s art of war is integrated into the battle, and this is most vividly reflected.
But looking at the current battle situation, it is obvious that Guo Wu Guo is not satisfied.
Gui Wujiu's sword, which represents the most brilliant swordsmanship in his family, was suddenly activated at the moment when "Ling Ren"'s magical power came out of his hand. The sword energy rippled, and its sharp jump made people suddenly think that someone would strike first.
the illusion.
The courage contained in it is decisive and moves forward without any hesitation?
The two magical powers struck head-on, shaking up the turbulent flow of clouds with a radius of more than a hundred feet and turning them into a ball. If it were outside the small circle, it would be filled with flying sand and rocks, and the sky would not see the light of day.
But in this small world, it is just the clouds stirring, the sky opening and closing, and the yin and yang. Although the ups and downs are full of wonderful ideas, they are lost in the end and it is difficult to fully realize the majestic majesty of two magical powers destroying mountains and breaking mountains.
wide.
There is a hint of surprise in Gui Wujiu's heart.
Xun Shen almost succeeded in the first "Hidden Mirror" magical power, so Gui Wujiu couldn't help but look down upon Xun Shen. He thought in his mind that if the seven methods Xun Shen chose were all as clever and unpredictable as the "Hidden Mirror"
"Supernatural power, then Gui Wujia's battle today must be very difficult.
However, although the meaning of this second type of "Lingren" magical power is still very brilliant, the pressure it exerts on Gui Wujiu is far from as stunning as the "Hidden Mirror".
Just like him in Hongyun Xiaohui, Chenyang Jianshan's "Pushing the Front and Absolute Sword" and other magical powers and secrets are naturally morally exquisite and make people praise them. But once the principles are revealed, they will immediately be blamed for their failure.
Whether it is true or false, you have a solid plan in mind, so that you can deal with it calmly.
To sum it up in one word: although the method is precise, it falls under the perspective of blame-free and is not worthy of consideration.
When Xun Shen saw that the second move "Ling Ren" was ineffective, he was not upset at all, but became more calm. Chong Gui Wujiu nodded and used his method again.
But when he raised his arms, there was a little bit of fresh air in each, and they turned into green snakes with two sleeves.
Two qi transformed into snake shapes, one of which gradually sprouted four legs, tentacles, scales, and antlers, as if it transformed into a snake and a dragon. The other one became darker and darker in color, absorbing all the light smoothly, except for the two eyes that were the size of rice grains.
Outside, the whole body appears as an ink-colored shadow.
A dragon and a snake turned into dozens of feet in length in the wind, one on the left and the other on the right, dividing the troops to attack. Their shapes were lifelike, as if they were real, showing Xun Shen's superb knowledge of his own magic power.
Guilty of blame, watch Xun Shen perform the magic, and respond with a carefree smile.
At this moment, the dragon shape came from top to bottom, attacking Gui Wujiu's front door, and the snake shape came from the side, attacking Gui Wujiu's ribs.
But Gui Wujiu turned a blind eye to the "dragon shape" with his sword light, and slanted a clear light into an arc, cutting the dark snake shape close to him into two pieces.
Miraculously, when the snake's body was cut off, the green dragon, which was still several feet away from being blameless, also collapsed in the wind and turned into debris.
