Chapter Forty-Fifth: Initial Completion of Internal Strength
A hundred swordsmen and axemen protected Guan Yu, fighting and retreating, and retreated towards Xiangcheng. On the city tower, an army commander said eagerly: "Quickly open the city and welcome the general into the city."
Chen Qun stopped him eagerly: "Wait a minute! If we open the city like this, what will happen if Lu Bu's army comes after us?"
The Army Sima was stunned for a moment, knowing that Chen Qun's words made sense, so he hurriedly asked: "Chen Biejia, does he have any good ideas?"
Chen Qun patted the parapet with determination and said loudly: "Where are the archers? Quickly line up, draw your bows and set your arrows. If Lu Bu's army approaches a hundred steps away, fire your arrows immediately."
"Zhao Sima, you lead a group of soldiers to form a formation behind the city wall. If General Guan comes in, you can put them in. If Lu Bu's army comes to attack, you must not take half a step back."
"The rest of you, listen to my orders and prepare to roll rocks, logs, and hot oil to the city!"
Chen Qun's command was determined, and all the soldiers followed the order. Rows of archers poked out of the parapet with arrows. Groups of infantry set up antlers near the doorway, then stretched out their spears, and then the city gate slowly opened.
, just as dozens of swordsmen and axemen were marching into the city with Guan Yu in their arms, Lu Bu's army then attacked. Arrows rained down on the city wall instantly, knocking down all of them, and the city gates were immediately closed.
Seeing this, Gao Jin quickly ordered his troops to retreat. He thought it was a pity in his heart. He glanced at Chen Qun on the city wall, who was sticking his head out to watch. He knew that this person had ruined his good deeds. He remembered this person firmly, and then he felt that
My whole body felt indescribably tired.
Returning to the camp, Yu Jin also came back dejectedly and sighed to Gao Jin: "Sir, it is a pity that such a great opportunity has been missed."
Gao Jin asked about the Confucian scholar on the tower. Yu Jin thought for a moment and said, "Could this be Chen Qun and Chen Changwen? I have seen this man before. Liu Bei took refuge with Cao Gong..." When Yu Jin mentioned Cao Cao's title, he couldn't help but look at it.
Gao Jin glanced at him and saw that he had no intention of blaming him, so he continued: "When Liu Bei took refuge with Duke Cao, Guo Jia and Xun Yu once mentioned this person in front of Duke Cao, saying that this person would fight in the name of justice and have a clean life.
Yawang;...Having stayed in this position for a long time...Xian Buyi has lost his position."
"Cao Gong once wanted to recruit people, but he had to give up because of Liu Bei's sake. If it hadn't been for him this time, Xiangcheng would have been captured today. It's a pity, it's a pity..." Yu Jinlian said it was a pity, full of annoyance.
Although Gao Jin also felt that he had missed the opportunity in vain, he instead advised Yu Jin: "Injuring Guan Yu today is a great victory. The days are long and there will be a day when Xiangcheng is conquered."
Yu Jin nodded and said: "Your Excellency has been fighting with Guan Yu for dozens of rounds. He must have been exhausted. He rested earlier and went to patrol the camp with someone."
Gao Jin watched Yu Jin leave, took off his upper body armor, and a scarlet scar appeared on his forearm. Gao Jin smiled bitterly, found some medicine to wipe the wound, and then sat cross-legged on the couch, closing his eyes and entering meditation.
He had already felt that his inner strength was about to break through. This premonition became stronger after the duel with Guan Yu. After all, he had the experience of breaking through his inner strength several times, so he was most familiar with this feeling.
He skillfully circulates the energy in his body for several weeks, and then sinks it all into the Dantian. The Dantian gradually becomes hot, which is a sign that the Dantian is about to be full. If there is no experience, most people still need to explore the method for a long time, but
Gao Jin is different. It is not difficult for him to break through because there are many ready-made experiences for him to refer to.
The internal strength of the Emei Sect is divided into 60%, which are thoughts, channeling, demon-breaking, nature, fasting, and immortality. Now, what Gao Jin wants to break through is thoughts. Once the breakthrough is successful, it means that the Dantian can contain
More internal energy is easier to understand, that is, every breakthrough does not increase the amount of internal energy, but expands the Dantian in the body and widens the tendons near the Dantian.
The Dantian is like a cauldron. The function of breakthrough is to expand the cauldron to store more internal energy. And widening the tendons is more conducive to accumulating internal energy.
For Gao Jin, it doesn't matter if he fights against an opponent like Yu Jin, but if he fights against a stronger person, after dozens or hundreds of rounds, the internal energy is simply not enough to support him. Therefore, breaking through the internal energy is not enough for Gao Jin.
Sincerity is particularly important.
Gao Jin carefully controlled the energy in his body to hit his dantian, and waited with bated breath. The flow of internal energy in his body became larger and faster, and the speed became faster and faster. A small stream of true energy was faintly formed in his dantian.
The surface of Gao Jin's body was already red due to the tornado, and the veins on his forehead were exposed, as if they were crawling with earthworms. He understood that the critical moment for a breakthrough had arrived.
Finally, the inner force and internal rotation reached the highest speed. The skin on Gao Jin's body seemed to be swollen, and it was bright red. Pain was everywhere in his body, and the intense pain came from the depths of his soul and reached every part of the surface of his body.
The suffering has reached the limit that Gao Jin can bear.
If he were an ordinary person, he would probably be at a loss at this time, and he might even go crazy. However, Gao Jin seemed to be very familiar with the task. He forced himself to concentrate, and at the moment when the energy in his body was about to lose control, he controlled the torrent of energy and fiercely attacked him.
Hitting the Guanyuan acupoint! Breaking through the Guanyuan acupoint means that the entire Ren channel has been unimpeded and has entered the first level of Emei Internal Skills, the mind!
There was tearing pain in the body, and with the surge of energy, the hair ribbon on Gao Jin's head was cut off with a bang. Instead of falling and falling on his shoulders, a head of black hair rose straight into the sky, making a real move.
A truly furious scene!
"Boom!" There was a loud noise in Gao Jin's mind, and the Guanyuan point suddenly opened, and a powerful flow of energy rushed in. It circulated in the body in an instant and gradually stabilized.
There was a water stain on the ground. But it was the sweat from Gao Jin's pain that formed a clear circle around his body!
The moment the energy passed through the Guanyuan point, the Dantian in the body seemed to begin to expand. Gao Jin relaxed all over, and an incomparable sense of comfort surged throughout his body. His whole body was warm, and his body seemed to be doing something.
Cotton, his whole body's consciousness seemed to be dissociated, his eyes were closed, and the things around him were indescribably clear. This long-lost feeling made Gao Jin feel extremely relaxed.
Gao Jin smiled contentedly, and continued to use his inner energy. Every day of operation, Gao Jin's fatigue decreased a little. Finally, after an unknown period of time, Gao Jin's body gradually transformed into a crystal-clear jade color.
.
After taking a long breath, Gao Jin opened his eyes again, and a ray of light flashed away.
After checking his body with satisfaction, Gao Jin stood up, silently raised his hand, and used his strength to punch a through-arm fist. The wind of the fist came out sharply with a whistling sound in the air, and slammed into the table in the tent.
With a loud bang, the desk made of hardwood burst into pieces, and countless wood chips flew down.
Gao Jin withdrew his fist with satisfaction. This punch was obviously much more powerful than before, and the energy was gathered faster than before.
In the past, it took Gao Jin three years to break through the first level of internal strength, but now it only takes one month. This is so fast.
Gao Jin knew in his heart that all this was probably thanks to Dian Wei, Guan Yu and others. It was fighting against them and being surrounded by dangers that allowed him to exert his body's maximum potential. If not, he would have to at least wait.
Two years' time.
The Three Kingdoms is indeed a good place to practice martial arts. Gao Jin couldn't help but sigh, and then smiled bitterly. This is the so-called blessing in disguise. In this strange era, God finally gave him a little reward, or a kind of comfort.
