Like a fish in a river plunging into a frozen lake, the pleasure of swimming along the water is gone, replaced by the bliss of extremely oppressive bondage.
In a few breaths, a strong wind swept in, almost blowing off the curtain on Jiang Yichen's head.
For a moment, a strong wind whipped around his back, as if there were two invisible hands pushing him down.
Jiang Yichen felt the same way, and so did the yellow-maned horse under his crotch.
The yellow-maned horse took a few steps forward involuntarily.
The further forward, the stronger the push from behind becomes, and the air becomes thinner and thinner.
One person and one horse seemed to have fallen into a whirlpool in the sea and were being pulled toward the center of danger.
Feeling that the yellow-maned horse was trembling but unable to do anything about it, Jiang Yichen was so angry that he easily broke through the strong wind and broke through the countercurrent. He pulled the reins tightly and pulled the horse back. He quickly turned the horse around, pinched the horse's belly, and galloped.
.
It wasn't until he ran more than a hundred steps away that the yellow-maned horse stopped, panting and looking back towards the place where he "escaped from death" with lingering fear.
Jiang Yichen smiled helplessly and patted the yellow-maned horse's neck to comfort him.
This yellow-maned horse rented from Qingshui Town Inn is young and strong, but has a lot of courage.
The strong wind behind him suddenly rose and stopped, and it took less than thirty breaths to move from side to side. Although it was extremely strange, it did not pose any threat to Jiang Yichen. However, it was as if the yellow-maned horse was stuck in a quagmire and could not escape, even if it was only for a short period of time.
, it is no different from walking through the gate of hell.
After the yellow-maned horse finally calmed down, Jiang Yichen coaxed him to go on the road again.
The yellow-maned horse walked much slower, and every step forward was like walking on thin ice, feeling uneasy.
Jiang Yichen did not rush, but was actually sensing the changes in the earth's aura after the strange strong wind dissipated.
Strong winds don't arise for no reason. During the journey, Jiang Yichen didn't notice any signs of wind.
Obviously, this strong wind was caused by someone, someone stirred up the changes in Lin's aura!
It is not surprising that there are other people in such a large bamboo forest.
However, this bamboo forest is off the official road, and few people choose to pass by it. The only people who appear here are local villagers.
Can ordinary people create such evil spirits?
Jiang Yichen disagreed.
In the gust of wind just now, the killing intent was fierce, and the intent of the sword could be vaguely discerned.
Then this person must be a swordsman.
He had just come out of Yin Yang Valley not long ago, so he wouldn't have been targeted so quickly.
Could it be that he met some hermit master by chance, or an unknown ascetic?
Thinking of the palace disciples who had a secret rivalry in Jinzhou City, Jiang Yichen could only make this inference.
At least he can be sure that this person will not be an enemy for the time being.
After all, according to his perception, the other party was not as proficient in using the power of nature as he was. The tornado sword that was supposed to be limited to a certain range lost control and continued to spread outwards, so that there was only a violent wind without any sword.
Due to its powerful power, choosing this secluded place to practice Kung Fu will not easily harm innocent people.
After making up his mind, Jiang Yichen no longer worried too much and drove his horse back on the road, taking the opportunity to savor the sword's power that had not yet dissipated.
After suddenly enlightening on the introductory method of "Sitting without Forms and Forgetting Mind" in the Valley of Yin and Yang, Jiang Yichen has benefited a lot. Not only has he made progress in the practice of this method, but he has also gained a deeper understanding of the control and use of the power of nature.
cognition.
I have been practicing martial arts for nearly twenty years. Whether it is taught orally in person or through hearing and seeing, only by absorbing the natural power of the earth into the body, turning it into internal force, and turning it into something of its own, can it be used by oneself.
In other words, the natural force of the earth is the source of the internal strength of martial arts practitioners.
The encounter in the valley undoubtedly opened a new door for Jiang Yichen.
We are born in nature and are connected with nature. Since we can use the power of nature for our own use, it is not impossible to mobilize the power of nature on our own.
The difference is like that between bows and arrows.
When the materials are the same, the power of a bow and arrow depends entirely on arm strength, while a crossbow arrow can be fired by a crossbow machine and can also be stretched by arm strength or other external forces. Its range and lethality are higher than those of a bow and arrow.
In fact, Jiang Yichen has seen the world behind this new door more than once.
Qin Fengchen, flowers are too fragrant and carefree, and even Chujunhe has left footprints behind the new gate.
Qin is the most special among these people. He uses music to enter the Tao, uses strings to disturb people's heartstrings, and stirs the earth. When Jiang Yichen first saw this method, he thought that this was the musical path of Qin art, and it was not the same as kendo and other martial arts. Now
If you think about it, you will know that in addition to internal strength, using the sound of the strings as a medium is a natural shortcut for communication. It is no wonder that clouds can be confused under the fingertips.
When Feng Chen and Hua Taixiang Ning Xiaoyao competed at the pinnacle of the battle to seize the land, Jiang Yichen watched from the sidelines. He was unable to be immersed in the scene and could not experience it personally. He only had admiration and no delusions.
As for Chu Junhe, Jiang Yichen was quite amazed by the Nine Galaxy Style he performed in the battle with Mo Shang. Unfortunately, his attempt to borrow the power of the earth failed at the end of the battle. He also failed to understand the Weeping Lady's judgment and missed it earlier.
Opportunities to enter new areas every day.
The person who really helped Jiang Yichen reach this new door was Sword Fourteen.
Just as Leng Mei said, Sword Fourteen uses Qi to control the sword, which is equivalent to mobilizing the power of the earth with one's own internal force, and then using it to help oneself control the sword. Under the current circumstances, it can be said that he has gone astray while ignoring the basics. But if there is no Sword Fourteen, etc.
Zhuyu, the pioneer who was unwilling to be left behind and found a new path, was ahead of him. Jiang Yichen, a laggard in learning, would never be able to become a Taoist.
There is no doubt that these seniors in the world have directly or indirectly guided Jiang Yichen, but this road is difficult to distinguish between reality and reality, and is rugged and difficult to navigate. If you don't understand the key, it will be difficult to achieve anything.
And "The Method of Sitting and Forgetting the Mind without Appearance" is Jiang Yichen's sharp weapon in overcoming all obstacles on this road.
Of course, this sharp weapon is not easy to master. Don’t you see that Situ Zhongzhangsan and the other disciples of the Wuxiang Sect were unable to use their own techniques to their full potential. Even Jiang Yichen himself has been studying it for three or four years.
To no avail.
I don't know what the achievements of the three heads of the Wuxiang Sect, whom Jiang Yichen has never met, on this journey, but no matter what, he will probably never see the three Gu brothers again in this life.
After this incident, Jiang Yichen became more and more certain that there must be a connection between "Wuxian Sitting and Forgetting the Mind" and "Xiaoyao Jue". If one could go back thousands of years and master "Xiaoyao Jue" to perfection, it might be difficult to fly with a sword.
It is bound to look around in all directions, and there is no place it cannot go.
Will I one day go up to another floor and see the realm of freedom?
Jianghu, Jianghu, begging for a meal is Jianghu, climbing to the top to pick up stars is also Jianghu. Even though Jiang Yichen has no desire for fame and fortune, it is hard to deny his fascination for that magical realm.
Just when Jiang Yichen was relaxing, he suddenly felt a wave of air coming from the side and coming through the bamboo and through the air!
It was an outpouring of killing intent!
That killing intent is like a knife!
A knife that can break through the silent cold river and split the heart of the bright moon in half!
It's just murderous intent, not a killing move. It's scary enough but hard to hurt.
But it is so powerful that if it is less courageous, there is also the risk of liver and gallbladder rupture.
However, Jiang Yichen remained unmoved.
Despite the strong wind brought by the air waves causing the soap gauze to cling tightly to his face, he still flicked the reins and rode in front of the horse.
The killing intent continues.
The opponent has no extra actions.
Jiang Yichen had no further reaction.
But he could bear it, but the yellow-maned horse was once again frightened to the point of becoming restless, its body stiffened, and it kept hissing and low-pitched.
Jiang Yichen could only gently caress his neck to soothe his mind.
Unexpectedly, the yellow-maned horse mistakenly thought that it had received an order to evacuate the cluster quickly, and ran for its life as if it had been granted amnesty!
Jiang Yichen in the seat couldn't help but smile, but let it go.
The previous moment of temptation was mutual.
The other party was testing his courage and confidence.
He is also feeling the depth of the other party's cultivation.
Judging from the burst of energy, this person's skill is not weaker than his.
When it comes to the depth of his skill, Jiang Yichen was at his peak when he fought against Ye Shang on the Sword Dance Ping.
At that time, the water and wood skills were perfect. Although they were only inferior skills, their attributes were mutually reinforcing and could not be improved. However, the superior skill Yin Feng Gong broke through the eighth level, raising its power to a higher level. In addition, Yin Feng Gong and
The inextricable connection between Shuangxue Zhenqi, in terms of measurement, Jiang Yichen's skill level is equivalent to two medium ships and one full ship.
Although Yin Feng Gong is making further progress now, he can fight against Yi Wusheng. Although forcibly dispersing the Kung Fu before the battle will not affect his future practice, that move still loses his body. It can stabilize the state of Yin Feng Gong and at the same time knock out the Wuxiang Siwangxin.
Cultivation in the Dharma has become extremely difficult, and now we are still half a step away from reaching perfection.
Although the Wuxiang Sitting and Forgetting Mind method is said to have the potential to be a superior mind method, for beginners, it is only a middle-level method. Jiang Yichen has only completed the lower level, and the frost and snow true energy has not changed.
According to calculations, his current skill level is that two medium-sized ships are 90% full and one ship is fully loaded.
Of course, these are only rough estimates. Each person's practice of Kung Fu is different, and it is impossible to give an accurate estimate like buying vegetables and cutting meat at the market.
After a little extrapolation, Jiang Yichen estimated that the swordsman's cultivation was even better than when he was at his peak, but it was difficult to search in his mind for someone who could possibly match that kind of killing sword intent.
However, the yellow-maned horse didn't care and galloped out of the bamboo forest without stopping.
Jiang Yichen smiled bitterly again. If he could have guessed the identity of the other party just now and deduced that the other party's destination was exactly the same as his own, he would have drawn his sword to fight against him. He would have solved a possible threat first.
But now it was confirmed that the identity of the other party was doubtful. He could not take action rashly and could only hope that the other party was a friend rather than an enemy, or someone who had nothing to do with him.
…
…
Watching the man and the horse go further and further away.
The man holding the knife in the bamboo forest looked strange.
The man was less than forty years old, with a strong body, an underturned eyebrow, and tiger-like eyes, but his appearance was difficult to describe in a nutshell.
His appearance is dignified and majestic, but there are dense stubbles of varying lengths on his cheeks, which is quite patchy and loses his dignity.
He is unkempt, but he is not a shabby person either.
The knife held in front of the chest is wider than the chest.
The knife was not in its sheath, but was wrapped in a white cloth that had already been stained with dust.
A mere white cloth can hide the light of a knife. If the knife were not dull, the cloth would not be ordinary cloth.
After a long while, the man holding the knife lowered his head and shook his head and muttered, "You look like a girl!"
It's too late to see the color.
Then he also walked out of the bamboo forest, and his destination was surprisingly the same as Jiang Yichen's!
