Hua Zhenxing is indeed a genius, and he has a foundation in cultivation in the Seventh Realm. It only took him less than five days to comprehend the Shape Swallowing Technique. Although he cannot fully understand its subtleties, it is at least an introduction.
On this basis, he started to practice the form of swallowing the crane, and only now did he understand what Old Man Yang said. It is not easy to learn the method of swallowing the form, and it is even harder to master it. Hua Zhenxing can only do the form of swallowing the crane at the moment.
, but can't fly.
Although he has transformed into a crane, he is still essentially a human being with human consciousness and behavioral patterns. Just look at his movement when he jumps onto a branch. It cannot be done by a crane.
The physiological structure, nerve response pattern, sensory system, and muscle memory of a crane are different from those of humans. Although Hua Zhenxing can swallow the shape of a crane, it is tangible but not spiritual.
Even if he learned this move, the clothes he was wearing could not learn it, so he was naked when he swallowed his form, and when he fell from the tree and fell into his original form, his buttocks were also bare.
It didn't matter that he fell, Sima Zhi was startled, and Zhu Yujing was almost disturbed in his calm state.
After the Spring Festival, Xiao Guang took a few days off and left Yangyuan Valley. Sima Zhui replaced him as the guardian of the Dongtian Formation. He was aware of all the movements happening here and actually knew what Hua Zhenxing was doing these days.
Sima Zhi found a crane coming out of the pavilion by the lakeside, jumped up a big tree, and then fell down while gesturing with its wings. Then he saw Mr. Hua stumbling down and gnawing mud.
What's going on with Zhu Yujing? He is in retreat in Fenran Pavilion. He has spread out his spiritual consciousness to blend the interior and exterior scenes, and he can also detect the movement in Yangyuan Valley...
Sima Zhi quickly used his spiritual mind to tell Zhu Yujing not to be surprised, and strictly prohibited him from telling anyone about this scene, which was regarded as a hush-hush order.
When Sima Zhi personally rushed to the Qingxiu Villa where Hua Zhenxing was retreating, Hua Zhenxing had already put on his clothes and was standing by the lake in a daze. He was reviewing and summarizing the mistakes he had just made - he had indeed swallowed a crane, but the result was a
Just a silly crane.
Sima Zhi: "Congratulations to Director Hua. He has mastered the form of swallowing a crane in just a few days. He is a peerless talent!"
Hua Zhenxing came back to his senses and waved his hand: "How can it be that exaggerated? A general can swallow a general into a crane, but he is not very good at flying... By the way, what about Manman and the others, they are not in Yangyuan Valley today?"
Sima Zhi: "Manman, Lang Xiaomin and others are returning to Dongguo on today's flight."
Hua Zhenxing: "Then it's time for me to take off. I'll leave the bench to you."
Sima Zhi waved his hand and said: "Director Hua, there is no need to be anxious. It is safer to practice and master it first. As for the small bench, you don't have to leave it behind. Locke has lent me his Feiyun boots for the time being. You can still take the small bench with you."
spare."
There was something that Sima Zhi didn't say. It would be fine if Hua Zhenxing fell from the tree. What if he flew to a high altitude and did it again? With a small bench, he could fly with weapons in time, so there was no danger.
But Hua Zhenxing shook his head and said: "I took the small bench with me and set off. I have nothing else to rely on. It's better to leave it behind and focus on my state of mind. Don't worry, even if I'm not yet proficient in the form of swallowing a crane, I'm still a seventh-level monk."
He handed the flying stool to Sima Zhi, taught him the soul brand, and sent him away. Then he swallowed the shape of a crane for the second time and climbed up the tree. He spread his wings and pushed hard, and he actually started to glide into the wind, far away.
Flying over the lake.
The flight was successful this time, but the posture looked very stiff, not like a living crane, but like a model.
It's not that Hua Zhenxing has no flying experience. On the contrary, he has a lot of flying experience. He first came from the Bamboo Magpie. The Bamboo Magpie is not a toy, but a technique similar to the Puppet Eye Technique, which can be attached to spiritual consciousness.
Flying the bamboo magpie feels a bit like being possessed by the bamboo magpie and flying high in the sky.
Hua Zhenxing did not have the experience or consciousness of being a crane, but he had long been familiar with playing bamboo magpie. After reviewing, summarizing, and reflecting, he used the body of the white crane to glide with the help of the air, and flew to the other side like a bamboo magpie.
But after all, he only borrowed some experience of the bamboo magpie technique. He himself is not a bamboo magpie, so there is nothing wrong with gliding in a posture, but it is still a long way from real flying.
Hua Zhenxing spent the whole morning wandering around in the no-man's land of Yangyuan Valley, floating here and there, falling into the water many times and climbing ashore naked, but luckily no one was watching.
He was so immersed in practicing that he didn't realize that someone could actually "see" it. Zhu Yujing was sitting in the Anran Pavilion, with the corners of his mouth twitching and his eyelids twitching. Later, he simply left the state of samadhi and stopped practicing.
In the afternoon, Hua Zhenxing, who landed once again, finally stopped flying and turned into a white crane, slithering along the shore of the lake. Suddenly, it spread its wings and jumped into the lake, and fished out a big fish with its long beak.
Maybe he was tired from all the hard work, so he changed back to his original clothes, put on his clothes, and cooked a meal of stone pot fish on the shore of the lake. It was this stone pot fish meal that made him suddenly seem to understand two things.
thing.
Firstly, although he swallowed the shape of a crane, he has not lost his cultivation realm. Otherwise, he would not have been unscathed if he fell from such a high tree in the morning and cracked a stone on his forehead - the spirit of Lu Wu Shen Lun Dan.
The effect is just amazing.
Just now that we were so far away, our spiritual consciousness could detect a big fish swimming by in the lake. Without even looking at it, we jumped over and caught it with our beaks. Ordinary white cranes don't have such ability... Anyway, it was a big fish.
The crane of cultivation.
What is a crane with cultivation? Isn’t it a crane monster, or a demon crane?
Thinking of this, Hua Zhenxing suddenly realized that someone in Yangyuan Valley should be able to "see" his embarrassing appearance while naked and thrashing around today, such as Sima Zhi and Zhu Yujing.
He shouldn't have forgotten this, but he really didn't realize it just now, even though Sima Zhi came to see him specially. He didn't know why, it was like he had lost his wits inexplicably after transforming into a monster crane.
Anyway, his embarrassment was revealed, so Hua Zhenxing pretended to be nonchalant, finished the pot of fish slowly, said hello to Sima Zhi with his spiritual mind, and moved out of the cave.
Now that you can fly, set off quickly. Even if it's embarrassing, don't leave it at home, and don't waste any more time. If you need to experience the form of swallowing a crane, you need to experience it in the form of a crane, so let's learn while flying.
The second thing Hua Zhenxing thought of was that if he wanted to master the instinct of a white crane, it was best to forget that he was a "human" and experience everything in the world as a crane, or even truly regard himself as a crane.
But the direction he left Yangyuan Valley seemed to be in the opposite direction, and he appeared in the plateau mountains to the west. This area is densely covered with towering peaks and cliffs.
He did it on purpose, as he wanted to become familiar with gliding in such a place with a huge height difference, spread his wings and feel the subtle flow of air, and only flap his wings at the right time.
The high-altitude airflow lifts the crane's body again and again like a relay. The constantly changing flight path allows it to fly higher and higher, gradually soaring to the top of the mountains... This feeling seems to be more exciting than riding a flying bench.
Huazhenxing also became Huahexing.
Hua Hexing was enjoying himself in the sky when he encountered the first crisis in his journey. Two black beasts attacked him.
The Black Desolate Crowned Bird is the most ferocious raptor on the Black Desolate Continent. Unlike vultures that like to eat carrion, they like to kill live prey. Their body length can be close to one meter, and their wingspan can reach more than two meters.
Although it looks very big, the Black Desolate Crown is very light, rarely weighing more than ten kilograms, but it can kill prey that is ten times its own weight. Various small animals and the cubs of large animals can
Maybe it's their food.
It will swoop down from a high place and grab the sheep on the hillside. Its hook and sharp claws can directly crush the skull of the sheep. Using the terrain and speed to bring the sheep into the air and then throw it down to death is also one of its trump cards.
The livestock and poultry raised by people, and even the children of the tribe, may be attacked by Mian wither.
When Hua Zhenxing escorted Rozchild to the Tema Kingdom, he sharpened a four-meter-long tree stick while walking through the wilderness. This was actually a traditional custom of the local tribes.
Carrying such a long stick when herding sheep is not only to guard against ferocious beasts, but according to experience, when Mian Sui sees someone holding such a long stick at high altitude, he will basically not pounce down.
In the more remote tribal villages, people always stick two long sharpened poles in front of the hut door to deal with various threats at any time, including the threat of crown withering.
The boundaries of the agricultural reclamation area are equipped with high-standard razor wire fences, which are mainly to prevent damage by various wild animals. They also protect wild animals in the wilderness and separate villages, towns, farmland, natural scattered planting areas and wasteland.
However, the razor wire grid cannot protect against falcons in the air, but the Blue Sky Washing Array and the Pure Dust Array, as long as there are monks on duty, can drive away falcons that may attack humans, animals and poultry.
Feral birds like the Mianqiu are not common in the plains, and they are becoming increasingly rare now. At least Hua Zhenxing did not encounter Mianqiu on the way he escorted Rozchild.
Today, when we flew among the mountains on the plateau, Hua Hexing suddenly encountered a male and a female. Xu found this strange big white bird flying across the territory in a blink of an eye, and felt very unhappy with its two heads wilted.
Hua Hexing didn't panic at all. He was not an ordinary white crane, but a demonic crane with advanced cultivation. When he flapped his wings, wind blades rolled out, knocking the two fierce crowns away.
Hua Hexing couldn't control his posture while fighting in the air, so Hua Hexing's height dropped involuntarily, and he fell into the deep valley under the cliff. However, after beating Mian wither away, Hua Hexing changed his posture and stabilized his body, and then he realized that he seemed to be in trouble again.
Stupid.
He just used wind magic.
If you practice the wind magic to a high level, you can increase the altitude and stay in the air, assist running and jumping, and slow down the falling speed. People may look like they can fly, but that is not true flying.
But he is a bird now, and he can fly. If he uses wind magic, wouldn't it be easier to fly? Such methods are not only used for fighting with two idiots!
Hua Hexing couldn't help but think of Manman again. Manman is a "water magician". If he learns the shape of swallowing dragons and masters the magical power of water control in the future, it will be so beautiful!
During the next flight, Hua Hexing used wind magic to create and control airflow to make various gestures in the air, such as suddenly folding his wings and making an accelerated dive, imitating the action of Mianfai's attack just now.
After reaching a low altitude, he suddenly spread his wings and slowed down, just like a fighter jet performing stunts. An ordinary white crane cannot withstand such a large maneuvering overload, let alone perform this series of flying movements.
Hua Hexing, who was feeling the pleasure of flying, couldn't help but think of an idiom - like a crane with wings! He didn't realize that there was a grammatical error in this word, because cranes already have wings, and the more wings they have, the better they fly.
Hua Hexing was like a stupid bird now. He didn't realize that he seemed to be still in some kind of intellectual state, and he flapped his wings and flew out of the mountains again.
I saw a white crane flying over the northern part of the agricultural reclamation area. It looked like it was mentally ill and flew inexplicably in the air. At the lower reaches of the Beiluo River, it turned north and passed over the Moon Lake. It was not in a hurry to fly overseas, but
Entered the wilderness.
The so-called wasteland is not really desolate. At certain times of the year, it will also show lush water and grass and a vibrant scene. However, there is no human habitation here, and due to climate and meteorological conditions, it is not suitable for reclamation and settlement.
Long rainy seasons and dry seasons alternate every year. In the absence of infrastructure, people cannot survive for a long time, and even animals migrate back and forth.
At first, Hua Hexing was flying along the route that he had escorted Rozchild, but then he gradually deviated, and the direction was still not right, and entered the northwest region of Huanxiangt State, the Kingdom of Kilili, the Kingdom of Nilang, and the Kingdom of Tema.
The junction of countries.
Huanxiang Industrial bought nearly 50,000 square kilometers of land here. This area is the end of the north-south mountain range. At the foot of the mountain is the gravel Gobi with no grass. Further north is the rolling desert, which extends to the basin sea.
.
This is a place where rabbits don't poop, because there are no rabbits at all. The sun is scorching during the day, and the wind is constant from dusk to dawn, and no mineral resources have been explored, so it is of no value at all.
Huanxiang Industrial was taken advantage of once and spent a lot of money to buy such a large piece of land. Many people in the two neighboring countries became rich because of it.
How can this place be developed in the future? It is an excellent place for wind and solar power generation, and even wind and solar energy can achieve a very good connection between day and night.
Although there is very little rainfall in the Gobi Desert, a river passed through it in ancient times and flowed north into the Basin Sea. That ancient river is still buried under the sand dunes today, and an artificial river can be built on this basis.
There is rainfall on the southern plateau, and there is a lot of precipitation in the heavy rainy season. This is also the source of the seasonal river in ancient times. However, due to changes in the terrain, several gaps appeared between the parallel mountains.
The floodwaters in the rainy season are discharged to the east and west sides, and the northward seasonal river disappears. However, the basic meteorological conditions are still there, and it can be restored through water conservancy projects.
With this river, its evaporation can also be reduced by using the karez method. This 50,000 square kilometers of desert area can be developed and utilized, and a number of production and living facilities can be built at suitable locations.
When Hua Hexing thought this way, he felt that something was not right. When flying north in winter, the climate should be getting cooler and cooler, but this area was getting drier and hotter, and it even felt like his feathers were about to be scorched.
Cranes are birds that don't like dry and hot environments. Under natural circumstances, it is almost impossible to fly over a large area of desert. But Hua Hexing flew to this area, so he felt an instinctive discomfort.
So he used the wind magic to speed up, and flew to the coast of the basin in one go. At this time, he had to come down to rest because he was very tired.
If it were an ordinary white crane, flying so far on this route in this way, I'm afraid he would have died of exhaustion long ago. Although Hua Hexing is a "monster crane", he is always using wind magic along the way.
, actually more tiring than flying.
Hua Zhenxing recovered his body, put on his clothes, and set up camp on an uninhabited beach. Fortunately, he had the Demon Refining Gourd with him. He had all kinds of supplies from a grocery store wherever he went, and even built a simple house.
At this time, he recovered from the state of a crane and reflected on his behavior.
The use of wind magic is to assist flight, but it is not very helpful in quantitatively grasping the shape of a swallowing crane, because a crane most likely does not know this magic, and he still needs to understand the natural state of swallowing a crane.
For Dacheng monks, there is actually a more convenient way to master a skill and learn certain knowledge, which is to combine delusion with truth, also known as deduction.
The so-called deduction is to evolve the desired result based on the known situation in the delusion state. For example, one day is too short, but you can enter the delusion state and practice the form of swallowing a crane. It will take a year, right? In the real world, it is just
At the snap of a finger!
But Hua Zhenxing did not do this, and he almost never used this method. Because the combination of delusion and truth has prerequisites and is subject to many restrictions, and the prerequisites and restrictions are all related to knowledge.
For example, if Hua Zhenxing did not receive the inheritance of the form-swallowing technique, or did not learn the form-swallowing technique, but practiced it in a way that combines delusion with reality. The feelings in delusion are as real as reality, then he might be able to survive on his own.
Create another form-swallowing formula.
But this kind of "meeting" is only in the state of delusion, and he may even "enter delusion again" in a single thought. When he returns to reality, I am afraid he still has not learned the method of swallowing shapes, but has only mastered a set of self-righteous mistakes.
method.
Therefore, the deduction method of delusion and reality is often used to practice the skills that have been learned repeatedly, or to judge the development and changes of known things on the basis of limited conditions.
But on the other hand, the cost of doing this is to consume the caster's lifespan.
It is said that Dacheng Zhenren has a lifespan of three yuan. In theory, he can live to be 180 years old as long as he does not encounter any accidents. However, in reality, many Dacheng monks do not have this lifespan. There are many reasons, the most important of which is that they spend their time in delusion.
Too much longevity.
Hua Zhenxing practices the art of cultivating the essence and is particularly sensitive to vitality. Therefore, after breaking through to Dacheng cultivation level, if it is not necessary, he will not use the deduction method of delusion and reality at all.
There is no need for people to use this method when judging the development direction of things.
He retreated to meditate on the Swallowing Form, and then took off on the flight, which took as many days as needed in reality. He camped on the beach to rest and sum up the gains and losses of the day, and then took off again the next day, finally leaving his home territory.
On the day that had passed, Hua Hexing did not get much closer to his destination because the direction was not quite right. The next day, he finally turned east and flew along the coastline.
This was also the suggestion of Manman and Sima Zhi, to have obvious landmarks and stay away from crowded areas as much as possible. On this day, he spread his wings and crossed over the canal connecting the Dayan Ocean and the Basin Sea, and also experienced the feeling of being split open by an axe.
The landforms of the Red Sea.
He tried his best not to rely on wind magic, but instead used natural gas flow and the instinct of a crane to fly. Naturally, he found that he seemed to be particularly sensitive to weather changes, and could even detect distant storms and avoid dangerous areas in advance.
He flew until dusk, did not land on land, but rested on the calm sea and launched a boat
This boat is the kind of lifeboat that is always available on passenger ships. It can hold up to twenty people. This journey is very tight and he has no time to make more preparations, but he gets a lifeboat and puts it in the demon refining gourd for later use.
No problem.
Caught a big fish from the sea. Hua Zhenxing originally wanted to fry the fish on a stone slab, so he took out the barbecue stone he brought with him and greased it with oil. Then when he was holding the blade fish, he suddenly changed his mind. Inexplicably, he felt that sashimi tasted better.
So he had a meal of sashimi. After eating, he looked at the cleanly sliced fish bones in front of him and felt that he couldn't waste any more. He then fried the fish bones on a stone slab until they were crispy and crispy, and ate them all...
On the third day, he put away the lifeboat and continued to set off. He looked more and more like a real white crane. However, in the afternoon, Huahexing discovered a shipwreck at high altitude.
A luxury yacht ran aground and capsized more than 30 kilometers away from the coastline. Fourteen people were floating on the sea, holding on to lifebuoys, life jackets, foam boxes and other floating objects. Although they could not sink for a while, it was difficult to swim.
Return to shore.
These people were so desperate that they could only judge their general direction through the sunlight, grabbing floating objects and struggling to swim towards the direction that might be the coastline.
The accident just happened so quickly that they were all stunned and did not have time to use the ship's equipment to call for help. At this moment, they were unable to communicate with the outside world and could only pray to the true God while swimming.
Not to mention, praying actually works! Someone looked up from the water and suddenly saw a lifeboat floating not far away. He immediately shouted for help, and other companions immediately noticed it.
Hua Zhenxing fell to the sea, released the lifeboat, put on his clothes, and rescued the group of people.
These guys spoke Awa language, and they were eight men and six women. It was probably the owner who invited two distinguished guests to have a party on the yacht. They were having a great time, as you can tell by the way they were dressed when they fell into the water.
The owner and two guests brought six girls on board the boat. The remaining five were service staff on the boat and were picked up by Hua Zhenxing.
The rescued people expressed their gratitude to Hua Zhenxing, but Hua Zhenxing did not speak, as if he did not understand. Some of them spoke English, but Hua Zhenxing still had no reaction.
It wasn't that Hua Zhenxing didn't understand, but he just didn't want to cause any more trouble. He hung a motor on the stern of the lifeboat and spent an hour and a half driving them all to a shallow beach on the coast, signaling them to come ashore.
The rescued people whispered to each other after walking onto the beach. Did they meet an angel sent by the true God today? While they were talking, someone turned around and was surprised to find that the lifeboat and the person who had just rescued them had disappeared, and there was a big white bird in the sky.
Fly far away.
How could such a ship and a living person disappear in such a blink of an eye? Thinking back on the whole incident, who would deliberately drive a lifeboat drifting on the sea and happen to rescue them?
The rescued people finally came to the unanimous conclusion that he was an angel sent by the true God. After completing his mission, he spread his wings and flew away. This was consistent with the image of angels recorded in the classics, so everyone knelt on the beach and muttered words.
Hua Hexing just saved a boatload of people and never thought about this situation.
After taking off again, he never regained his body. Even if he stopped to rest, he was still a crane, either looking for an island or a safe place on land.
At noon on the fifth day of the journey, Hua Hexing landed on an island to rest. As a crane, he also caught two fish and swallowed them alive with his neck raised.
There were many albatross living on this island, and Hua Hexing didn't know what species they were. He found a stone nest sheltered from the wind and curled up his legs to rest for a while. Unexpectedly, an albatross came to cause trouble.
The albatross first stretched out its head to rub his neck, then half-opened its wings and posed several times in front of him. Then it turned around and twisted its butt towards him a few times. Seeing that he didn't respond, it came over and rubbed its neck again.
its neck.
Obviously this was not an attack. It took Hua Hexing, who was confused, to realize for a while that this albatross seemed to be courting a mate! What a stupid bird. The species was even mistaken. Could it be that it was attracted by its long length?
Legs and a big mouth?
Hua Zhenxing quickly flew away from the island and flew to the land to find another quiet place to rest.
Unknowingly, Hua Hexing seemed to have lost weight due to fatigue, and his body was smaller than when he first set off, closer to a normal, ordinary white crane.
Along the way, I no longer change my body, I fly, perch, and hunt like a crane, and gradually I even forget who I am. To be precise, this is not forgetting, but no longer thinking about it.
If a person has the body of a crane, behaves according to the habits of a crane, and subconsciously thinks like a crane, then he is a crane!
Flying further and further, getting closer and closer to the destination, Hua Hexing gradually stopped thinking about why he wanted to fly to Wucheng. It seemed that it was just a migration goal that had been set by instinct.
In the process, his sense of direction became stronger and stronger. He didn't need to take out his device to compare the satellite map, but he seemed to have a natural judgment in his mind, through various complex, specific and unclear information.
Along the way, he seemed to have stopped practicing, and seemed to have been practicing all the time. In fact, intentionally or unintentionally, he had been practicing a technique, which was the fifth level technique of Fangwai Secret Method taught by Master Ding Qi.
Of course, if you have cultivated in the Seventh Realm, you can also practice the Five Realms Kung Fu, which is a very natural application at this moment.
The fifth realm of Fang Wai's secret method is also called the heart plate realm. He has been condensing the heart plate along the way, outlining the world and the world in his soul, and what he shows is the path he has flown through.
Long before he learned the art of mind-reading, he had already sketched the future paradise in his mind. It was dynamic, with both the wasteland in reality and the future picture, and more importantly, the process from reality to goal.
When Teacher Ding taught him the Heart Disk Technique, he really got the right medicine for him. This was his favorite secret technique. It was not only for condensing the Heart Disk of the Hidden Kingdom of Gods, but also for truly transforming the world in his vision into the Soul.
Outline and show.
His world is getting wider and wider, and it is a small universe of his own.
He witnessed a lot of people and scenery along the way, and saw different customs and customs, but he didn't make a fuss or even have many novel feelings because he was a crane.
Hua Hexing tried his best to fly along the coastline, but it was not strictly so. For example, during his journey, he crossed the Hengzhu Kingdom in the southern subcontinent of Dongzhou.
After passing through Hengzhu Kingdom, there was another vast ocean. It was on the islands in this area that he encountered another silly bird harassing him.
Continuing eastward, he reached the Indochina Peninsula and rested in a forest wetland in the Kingdom of Sawa. This was also his favorite habitat.
He walked in the shallows with his long legs, lowered his head and picked up a few prawns with his long mouth, then flew to a tree and found a comfortable position to curl up.
At this moment, he almost fully possessed the consciousness of a crane, but suddenly a gunshot was heard not far away.
