Judge of the Lamp

Chapter 245
"Zhiqiong, this life is too short to enjoy yourself as soon as possible. It's just that I realized it too late, but I wasted so many years in my cultivation.

What we practice is the law of heaven and the right way in the world, but the real law of heaven and the right way are in this square of heaven and earth,

Zhiqiong, I always thought that Goulan in the capital was the best, but now I know I was wrong, I am really wrong!

Goulan of the ten directions is the head of the Goulan, and the principles of heaven and earth are all here! "

"Brother Qian, let's talk in another place!" Xu Zhiqiong became alert, Qian Limu's sage realm was about to pass.

"Zhiqiong, I want to sit for a while longer, I feel that I have a new understanding of cultivation."

Xu Zhiqiong glanced at the stage, and another batch of new dancers were about to take the stage.

Xu Zhiqiong pulled Qian Limu up and said, "Brother Qian, let's take a break, the practice cannot be accomplished overnight."

"Zhiqiong, I have really enlightened, I don't want to leave yet, you wait, wait until I finish watching this song..."

Xu Zhiqiong quickly pulled Qian Limu out of the hook.

When the realm of sages dissipated, it would be impossible to get Big Brother Qian out again.

"Brother Qian, what was agreed before..."

Qian Limu sighed: "Zhiqiong, I don't care if I learn skills or not. These are all illusory means, and they are not the root of practice. The root of practice lies in the artistic conception, and the artistic conception is in the ten directions... "

"Brother, my artistic conception is not enough yet, let's learn some illusory tricks first, where should we go?"

Seeing Xu Zhiqiong's insistence, Qian Limu sighed: "I intend to take you to the Zhonglang Pavilion, where there are more medicinal materials, but I am afraid that you will learn the sixth-grade skills and arouse Feng Shaoqing's jealousy. It's better to keep this matter a secret. Choose a place nearby, not too far from Goulan.”

Don't want to be too far away from the hook bar, this is the most important thing.

Qian Limu's heart is still in the hook.

According to Qian Limu's request, Xu Zhiqiong first rented a house.

Houses in Luzhou are much cheaper than those in the capital. A house in the capital is worth a thousand guan, and this is just a small courtyard.

In Luzhou, a house with front and back courtyards only needs more than [-] houses. In addition, the war in Yongzhou also had a great impact on Luzhou. There are so many empty houses that can be rented or bought. Find a large area.

Qian Limu went back to the Department of Punishment and brought back a sack of wound medicine. He entered the house to have a look, then calculated the distance from here to Shifang Goulan, and praised repeatedly: "This place is good, this house How much is the price?"

Xu Zhiqiong smiled: "Don't ask the price, if brother likes it, I'll buy it and give it to him."

Xu Zhiqiong is a fifth-rank official, and his monthly salary (salary) is thirty-two taels, and the supplement (additional subsidy) is fifty taels, plus tea, wine, cooking materials, fuel charcoal, salt, entourage, horses, and envoys. A series of subsidies such as money (entertainment expenses) are easily more than one hundred taels per month.

This house is only one month's salary, so I just bought it and gave it to Brother Qian as a favor.

Xu Zhiqiong found the landlord and immediately gave the cash. The landlord was overjoyed and handed over the deed and title deed on the spot, and gave Xu Zhiqiong all the furniture in the house.

Qian Limu liked this house, but he was not satisfied with the furniture. He went to the furniture store to buy a big bed and a set of high-quality silk and satin bedding.

Xu Zhiqiong said: "Brother, let's talk about the belongings of life later, let's do serious things first!"

"This is serious business!" Qian Limu put the medicine bag aside, Xu Zhiqiong thought he was going to boil medicine, so he hurried over to light the fire.

Qian Limu waved his hand and said, "There's no need to light the fire, this is a patented medicine, please accompany me to drink a few cups first."

After preparing the food and wine, the two of them ate and drank enough, Qian Limu said: "Lie down on the bed and mix your breath properly."

It turned out that this bed and this bedding were specially prepared for Xu Zhiqiong.

But what are you doing in bed?
Don't you need to cook it in a big pot?

Qian Limu really didn't bring a cauldron, so he burned a piece of tranquilizing incense, and said to Xu Zhiqiong: "Brother, our Taoist sixth-grade skill is called Zhonglang Wuwei.

When we reach the sixth rank, our combat power has greatly increased, punishing evil and promoting good, we should not be cowardly, we should be fearless, so we have this skill! "

Xu Zhiqiong said: "Brother, do you mean that this skill is courageous?"

Qian Limu shook his head and said: "Skills are not used to gain courage, but to exchange courage for skills. The more courageous you are, the more profound your skills will be!

As for what your skills are, I don't know, each Suo Ming Zhong Lang has his own sixth-grade skill. "

Xu Zhiqiong was taken aback: "Could it be that sixth-grade skills are also innate skills?"

Qian Limu still shook his head: "A sixth-grade skill is not a talent skill. It contains your talent, your cultivation, the foundation of our Taoism, and your own preference. Half of the means are accumulated, and the other half are self-created. Yes, what skills you will eventually develop depends on your understanding!"

Xu Zhiqiong opened his eyes wide, he didn't expect the sixth-grade skill to be so complicated.

This is a self-created skill based on the combination of innate conditions, acquired practice and one's own habits.

Since it is a self-created skill, shouldn't it be more fully prepared?
Should I formulate a complete plan based on my own characteristics?

What are my characteristics?
Let’s think about the characteristics in Judge’s Way first: fast speed, slightly weaker strength, special talent, ability to absorb other people’s energy, and some items that are not too heavy and bulky.

Think about the characteristics other than Judge Dao: I have cultivated Yin and Yang, and I have an eighth-rank cultivation base, and I have also cultivated a famous family, but I have no rank for the time being.

Under such conditions, what kind of skills can I create by myself?
This is something to really think about.

"Brother Qian, I really feel a little rushed, why don't you go to Goulan and sit down again, and let little brother make a good plan!"

Qian Limu shook his head. He understood Xu Zhiqiong's thoughts: "Planning is futile. Although half of the skills are self-created, this self-creation does not come from your original intention, but from the depths of your mind, an untouchable place."

This is too abstract.

Xu Zhiqiong said: "Brother Qian, can you make it simpler?"

Qian Limu said: "When you learn the sixth-grade skill, you have to enter the deepest part of the state of mind, and go through three levels in the deepest part of the state of mind.
After passing the first level, you will be able to cultivate sixth-grade skills, no matter whether it is good or bad, it is much better than a sixth-grade Zhonglang who has no skills. "

Xu Zhiqiong asked in amazement, "Are there any sixth-grade Zhonglang with no skills?"

Qian Limu said with a smile: "It's not that my brother is scaring you. Among our Taoist sects, only [-]% of those who have the skills are called to hit Zhonglang, and the remaining [-]% of Zhonglang are unskilled.

These people didn't even pass the first test, so they naturally didn't learn the skills. Without the sixth-rank skills, they couldn't advance to the fifth-rank. These judges will be at the sixth-rank all their lives. "

Xu Zhiqiong blinked his eyes and said: "Failed to break through the level, but can't break through again?"

"No! Just this one chance! Tried it once, the meridian is diverted, and the cultivation base is now finalized!"

Xu Zhiqiong swallowed his saliva, and suddenly became nervous: "Brother Qian, what's the matter, so difficult to break through?"

Qian Limu said with a serious expression: "The first level is to meet a person who makes you very afraid. This person will bring a very difficult matter. Not only is it difficult, but there is no way to resolve it. Who and what is it? No one knows about it, because this person comes from a place that cannot be touched by your state of mind, so it is useless for you to prepare.

In the second level, you meet a person who makes you extremely fearful. You can't guess who it is. You have to fight this person with all your strength. In the process of fighting with this person, you will realize the sixth grade. skill,

If you lose, the sixth-grade skills will be finalized. If there is a tie, the sixth-grade skills will be refined to one out of a hundred. "

Xu Zhiqiong said, "What does the third level look like?"

"I don't know! It is said that there are no more than three people in our school who have passed the third level. I don't have that blessing," Qian Limu said,
"I fought hard for three days and three nights in the second level, and I was tied with that person, and the sixth-rank skill was finalized. Although it was only one in a hundred, how many sixth-rank judges are there? I have never met a judge of the same rank. Even Feng Jing'an is afraid of my opponents before, brother, you have to fight for your breath, at least you have to earn one in a million!"

Xu Zhiqiong hesitated for a moment.

Qian Limu smiled and said, "What's the matter, brother? Are you afraid? If you don't even have the courage to break through, then I advise you to practice for two more years, but for this person, the older you are, the less courageous you are. Why don't you take advantage of your young courage?" Seductive, fight one more time!"

Xu Zhiqiong picked up the jug, took a big sip of wine, lay down on the bed and said, "Fight it!"

"Okay!" Qian Limu exclaimed, "Brother, let's talk about it. You break through the barriers in your mind. The people and things you encounter all come from the fear in your heart. Only by defeating the fear can you become a fearless gentleman.
But if you are beaten, or even knifed, it is all real. If you can't bear it, you just need to loosen your mind and you will be able to come out alive! "

Xu Zhiqiong said in astonishment: "Crossing the barrier in my state of mind, can I still die in it?"

Qian Limu opened the sack and said, "Otherwise, why did I prepare so many wound medicines? It's not uncommon for Zhonglang to die in order to learn the sixth-grade skill. Brother, you must do what you can!"

Xu Zhiqiong gritted his teeth: "I wrote it down!"

With my talent, it's not a problem to pass the first test.

Qian Limu nodded and said: "With the appearance of a bottomless abyss, he intends to go through the Du Channel, go through the Ren Channel, pass through the Chong Channel, enter the Dai Channel, enter the Yang Wei Channel, return to the Du Channel, and then enter the Yin Wei Channel..."

Xu Zhiqiong thought about the image of the bottomless abyss, and his thoughts wandered among the eight veins.

The bottomless abyss became clearer and clearer. Xu Zhiqiong stood beside the cliff and looked towards the bottom of the abyss.

First there are clear dust and rocks under the feet, and then there are mottled cliffs made of rocks. The cliffs continue to extend downwards, with some kind of strange lines on the gray rocks, extending all the way to the thick fog at the bottom of the abyss.

The outline of a part of the rock can be seen in the thick fog, and under the outline is an unexplorable darkness.

This is my inner fear?
It doesn't seem like a big deal.

I don't have a fear of heights.

In the darkness, a figure seemed to be moving back and forth, and the mist fluctuated slightly with his figure.

Someone climbed up from the abyss against the cliff.

Xu Zhiqiong took two steps back, ready to fight.

This man scares me so much.

This one will bring a very tricky thing!

Not only tricky, but also unsolvable!
Who on earth can make me so afraid?
Since I came to Daxuan, there are not many people who really scare me.

We fought a battle with King Xing, and even played against the emperor.

We hacked a prince to death with our own hands, and even made a brotherhood with the second elder of Canglong Palace!

We killed hundreds of villains!

You said, what do we have to be afraid of?

While thinking, Xu Zhiqiong's foot slipped, as if he stepped on something.

Looking down, it was a watermelon.

There is more than one watermelon, there are watermelons all over the ground.

How come there are so many watermelons?
Climbing up from the abyss was a man of strong build, with a cropped head, high cheekbones, small eyes, a big nose, and a smile on his face.

"Is this melon ripe?"

This is my inner fear?
This is not the people of this era at all!
Does the fear of the previous life also count?

Xu Zhiqiong didn't think much, he smiled.

That's it?This is the first level?
Just that difficult?
No matter which era he came from, in Xu Zhiqiong's eyes, this short-haired man is really not worth mentioning.

Isn't he just a ruffian?What's the problem?
Is this enough to stump seventy percent of the judges?

Xu Zhiqiong shook his arm. With his combat strength today, it would not be a problem for such a ruffian to fight a hundred or eighty times.

Wait, I can't move my hands.

Both hands lost feeling and could not move.

Seeing the inch-cut man slowly approaching, Xu Zhiqiong wanted to take a step back, but he couldn't even move his legs.

First trap him with Yin and Yang Qi!
No, even Yin and Yang cannot be mobilized.

The whole body can't move, the only thing that can move is the mouth.

Fear from the depths of the soul emerged, and Xu Zhiqiong knew what would happen next.

This man with a cropped head would pick up a watermelon knife and stab Xu Zhiqiong severely.

It would be fine if it was just one knife, but this man with a flat head came from Xu Zhiqiong's heart. If he didn't follow the fixed routine, he would probably stab Xu Zhiqiong to death one after another.

"Then, what, big brother, do you buy melons?" Xu Zhiqiong was sweating.

"I just asked you if this melon is ripe?" The flat-haired man looked at Xu Zhiqiong from the corner of his eyes.

"My melon is very good!"

"I just asked you if this melon is ripe?" He repeated this sentence repeatedly.

"Choose and see for yourself!"

"I just asked you if this melon is ripe?"

The flat-headed man stood in front of Xu Zhiqiong.

Xu Zhiqiong stared at him with wide eyes.

What else to do but look at him?

In the situation where he can't move but can only speak, what words can he use to convince him?
This question seems unresolved.

It seems that I can only wait to die!
Is it true that you can't even pass the first level?
Wait, don't panic, talking is enough.

Xu Zhiqiong looked at the crew cut man, smiled and said, "I don't have a knife."

The man still repeated the same sentence: "I ask you, is this melon ripe?"

Xu Zhiqiong said slowly:

"I sell watermelons, so I should have a watermelon knife."

Reasonable arguments.

"You can stab me with my watermelon knife."

Reasonable inference.

"I don't have a knife, so you can't stab me."

Unreasonable inferences.

The inch-cut man was stunned, his expression distorted.

Xu Zhiqiong laughed loudly, and the flat-headed man stepped forward and punched Xu Zhiqiong to the ground.

"I can't stab you, can't I beat you?"
