I want to embrace the moon for nine days

It is a very troublesome process to go from the realm of boxing to the spiritual realm.

It takes anywhere from three to more than ten years to refine your own pure spiritual object. During this period, you have to practice every day without interruption. If you miss one time, you may have to make up for several days of hard work. .

Some warriors have already begun to age before they can temper a pure spiritual object, and their physical strength and spirit begin to decline. As a result, the effect of tempering becomes worse, and the time required is extended, and they will not be able to enter the realm of spirit and soul for the rest of their lives. territory.

Even if you have good qualifications and work hard, it only takes two or three years to master a pure spiritual object. During this period, the spiritual object needs to be carried with you. If it is destroyed when fighting someone, it will be a waste of effort. .

Masters of all ages have wanted to solve this problem and created many auxiliary means. The most famous result is the Twenty-Four Holy Spirits created during the reign of Emperor Taizong of the Wude Dynasty.

That period was a legend created by the collection of ancient and modern classics, the wisdom of the world, and decades of hard work, from troubled times to prosperous times. It was a model of civility and the pinnacle of martial arts.

As long as you have practiced one of the twenty-four sets of exercises, reached the state of channeling the spirit of the fist, and then obtained the corresponding Holy Spirit, you can rely on the infusion of the fist to separate from the Holy Spirit in about three to ten months. Create a divine soul of your own.

Su Hanshan already has some understanding of the three martial arts realms in this world.

The combat power of the internally refined soul is basically equivalent to that of the Qihai realm, and the psychic power of the fist spirit corresponds to about the first to twentieth section of the ladder.

The entry of divine soul into the body corresponds to the level of the peak of the ladder and above.

In other words, if you have a Holy Spirit, you can have a combat power close to the peak of the ladder within ten months.

This is really amazing.

Su Hanshan's own cultivation speed is not much faster than this, and the basic advantages of pure Yang instinct and Qi Sea extreme realm are difficult to share with others.

But the twenty-four Holy Spirits can be reused.

It is conceivable that in the most prosperous period of the Wude Dynasty, there were endless generals and the majesty of all nations came to the court, and the twenty-four holy spirits were indispensable.

However, from the middle to the end of the Takeru Dynasty, bloody internal fights among generals, civil servants, eunuchs, and the royal family were so frequent that the Twenty-Four Holy Spirits disappeared long before the world was transformed into corpses.

The Golden Chanzi of the Holy Spirit obtained by Juma City was also a coincidence. A few years ago, the city lord's daughter accidentally broke a small jade Buddha that was passed down from their ancestors in the temple, and the treasure was discovered from it.

The Lord of Juma City is a monk who has returned to secular life, and he practices the exercises in their temple that correspond to the Golden Chanzi. Obtaining this treasure will benefit him a lot, and of course he will not hesitate to cultivate his confidants.

Sun Xingzu and others were promoted to the realm where the spirit enters the body through Jin Chanzi one after another.

Although Su Hanshan can't get this Holy Spirit now, he has also got the "Jin Chanzi Martial Arts", which can be used for detailed reference.

"I have one more question."

After Su Hanshan asked them to recite the martial arts scriptures silently, he then asked, "As long as you don't fall asleep during the twelve hours of the winter solstice, there should be no signs of corpse transformation."

"Chen Wanchuan has traces of a corpse that has been transformed for a long time, and there are also some puzzling behaviors. It seems that he wants to perform some kind of sacrifice. He was also a general of Juma City at the beginning. Do you know what happened?"

Sun Xingzu said: "For ordinary people, as long as they can stay awake for the twelve hours of the winter solstice, they can barely survive the matter of corpse transformation."

"But for a skilled warrior, if he fights with a strong enemy and his soul is severely damaged, and he is still seriously injured until the winter solstice, there is a certain possibility of contracting the corpse transformation even if he can't sleep."

"No one can explain the origin of the zombie transformation. No one can understand why there is such a difference."

Sun Xingzu thought for a while, "As for the related sacrifice, I have never heard of it. I don't know what happened to him. Maybe it's because no warrior can survive more than a year after contracting the signs of corpse transformation, so I put my hopes randomly. For some deception."

The corpse transformation in this world is not so much a virus that tamperes with the body and makes people lose consciousness.

Rather, it affects the soul first, and then reflects on the body.

When Su Hanshan was studying the living corpses, he had some vague guesses and didn't seem too surprised.

"You came to blackmail me and attacked me. Just answering these questions is not enough to atone for your sins."

Su Hanshan said, "I have ordered all your subordinates to help with the harvesting in the coming days. You can have some wild vegetable soup every day to satisfy your hunger. After the autumn harvest, I will arrange your whereabouts."

While speaking, Su Hanshan put down the book in his hand, raised his hand, and sucked up the iron rod that monk Benzhi used before.

He broke off a section of the stick as thick as his arm with his bare hands and placed it on the table. He held it like a knife and chopped it carefully.

Ice-blue light enveloped his palm, and he easily chopped the iron block into steel nails as thick as the tips of chopsticks, which were slightly sunk into the table.

Ding! ! !

Su Hanshan swiped his palm, and all the steel nails flew out with a trembling sound. The sound of popping into the flesh was heard continuously, and they penetrated into various acupuncture points on the three people's bodies.

This is the method he just thought of. It is easy for these three people to solve it by just using zhenqi to tap the acupuncture points.

But he used the Hidden Word Technique to store the true energy inside these steel nails, and then penetrated these people's acupuncture points, and the effect could be extended much longer.

At least for a whole day, the three of them were not allowed to move. When the day was about to pass, they could replenish their energy.

"Liu Jiazi, you can escort them to do their work."

Liu Jiazi next to him had a strange expression on his face, and Wang Xiangqian also had a look of laughter on his face.

It turns out that when those steel nails were driven in, most of the other places were inserted into the body, but some acupuncture points on the head should not be inserted too deeply.

The three bare heads are now decorated with a few long steel nails, giving them a strange appearance.

When Liu Jiazi and his men escorted the three people away, Wang Xiangqian still stayed in the lobby, showing some hesitation.

Su Hanshan looked through the book and said smoothly: "What's wrong with you?"

Wang Xiangqian said: "City Lord, we want to live in the city, but there is no seed field, so it's not like it. I want to find an errand at the City Lord's Mansion first and get some copper coins so that I can buy seeds."

In the past month, Wang Xiangqian and others lived in the city lord's mansion, with food and drink, and they only needed to practice martial arts every day, but they felt quite helpless.

However, Su Hanshan practiced there every day and also questioned her about her daily entry, so the days passed like this.

When she found an opportunity today, she wanted to take the opportunity to talk about herself.

"I can understand your mood. You want to have your own savings and your own channels to earn savings. This is what you rely on in life, instead of living in a strange place for no reason and being supported by a group of people you meet by chance. "

Su Hanshan said with a smile, "But if you want to become a part of this city, you don't necessarily have to do it through farming, or becoming an attendant or clerk in the city lord's palace."

"I asked you to practice martial arts because there are some positions missing in this city. Once you practice martial arts, you can fill these positions more smoothly."

Wang Qianqian seemed to have some realization: "Did the city lord mean the soldiers guarding the city?"

"Soldiers can also be trained, but my expectations for you are not only that." Su Hanshan said, "If people want to live a stable life, enclosing a piece of land to be self-sufficient is certainly a good way, but in such a closed small environment, resistance The ability to take risks is really poor.”

"After all, people need communication to grow stronger. The same is true between cities."

When Su Hanshan was in Cangshui County, he first wanted to make the business of Songhe Martial Arts School better. Later, he wanted to make the entire hometown of Cangshui County more stable.

But after returning from the Divine Power Banquet, he took the initiative to intervene in the affairs of surrounding counties.

This is a change in mentality and an understanding brought by experience.

Su Hanshan recalled what he saw when he went out to wander every morning and evening during this period.

"Tens of thousands of people in the city gathered together. Even the surrounding empty houses have not been repaired. There are few shops and almost no fun. They all live like beggars. I don't like it very much."

"Obviously they are very hard-working, even hard-working, so why can they only live like this?"

There was obvious displeasure in Su Hanshan's tone, "What's even more funny is that I scrolled forward and found that even the city lords and big families in this small place are quite pitiful. They want to take out their anger on the culprit. There is no place to look for it, so we have to attack the environment first.”

"In this world, it is not that there are no wealthy cities or prosperous places. As long as the cities can be connected and things can flow, more opportunities will be explored. If a place is affected by heavy rains, droughts, etc. If there is a farmland disaster, other places can also provide support. If there is no disaster, then everyone will live a better life."

"I hope that in the future, you can become a pioneer in attacking the environment, destroy the zombies or other things that block the road, use resources well, and make the place where people live more comfortable."

Wang Xiangqian was stunned for a while: "It doesn't sound like something I can do at all."

"Haha, I just want you to be one of them, and I don't want you to go now."

Su Hanshan laughed twice and said, "I originally thought that after the autumn harvest, I would take a group of you to Juma City to see if I can gain anything."

For example, to see more martial arts in this world and help Dongping City find some businesses with which we can cooperate.

"But Juma City has actually been occupied by barbarians. The situation will definitely change. You can only be more patient and continue practicing to prepare."

Su Hanshan patted Wang Qianqian on the shoulder and said, "Don't underestimate yourself."

"Your body and spirit have been well trained, and your meridians are strong and wide. Therefore, after being exposed to my martial arts, your internal strength has improved by leaps and bounds, and you have reached the level of Qi Hai above the twelfth level."

"With the quality of internally refining the essence, plus the cultivation of breathing out the true energy, your current combat power should be close to the great master of the sea of ​​​​Qi... that is, the great master of the internal refining of the soul. The martial arts that I have continuously transformed and formed for you will be better in the future. Become a source of learning for many people.”

Wang Xiangqian was said to be a little at a loss.

It always felt like the things Su Hanshan said had nothing to do with her life in the past twenty years.

However, if you can really make yourself and everyone else live a better life, you may not have to give it a try.

In that case, in the future, my brothers and sisters will not experience so many uncomfortable things like me, right?

"I will work hard."

Wang Qianqian's eyes wandered for a moment, then he came back to his senses and said seriously, "I'll go back and continue practicing."

Su Hanshan watched her go to the nearby yard to practice martial arts, and picked up the teacup with a thoughtful look on her face.

Was it too early to say these words just now?

It seems a bit.

Probably because he received too much news from Sun Xingzu and the others, too many thoughts came to his mind, so he said some of the things he had thought about before.

Su Hanshan laughed.

But among the news, apart from the Holy Spirit, barbarians, etc., there was another point that particularly concerned him.

The people in Jiangdong have long wanted to form an alliance with others and open up roads on land. They even want to contact the small towns along the way, doing things that are considered "absolutely unnecessary" by the canal cities.

Regardless of whether those people are doing it for their own long-term ambitions or something else, they are at least more interesting than people like Chen Wanchuan and Sun Xingzu.

Make Su Hanshan want to meet him.

There are now more than two thousand horses in Dongping City, and the living corpses nearby have been cleaned up. It is possible to send some people out to explore.

So, when the people in Dongping City were busy working on the autumn harvest, some people rode out of the city.

In less than two days, Su Hanshan received the news.

There were spies in the southeast. When they climbed the mountain and looked into the distance, they saw large areas of smoke, probably only thirty or forty miles apart.

That night, Su Hanshan left the city.

His speed was far faster than that of a cavalryman. With one casual step, his figure was twenty feet away.

It's only a few dozen miles, even if there are mountains and rivers separating it, it won't take much time.

Moreover, there is mist at night. Even if there is still smoke rising in the distance, it is not easy for ordinary people to distinguish it with ordinary eyesight, but Su Hanshan can see it and judge the direction.

When he passed through a dense forest, he saw a large tent under the hillside in front of him on the left.

Between the tents, an iron pot was set up, and dead branches picked up from nearby were burning brightly inside.

There are also some iron pots with hot water boiling in them, and there are circles of soldiers guarding them.

If those camps were full of people, a rough estimate would suggest that there should be four to five thousand people here.

When Su Hanshan walked towards the camp, he slowed down a bit and was quickly discovered.

"Hey, it's a living person!"

The soldiers guarding the edge of the tents looked up. Some of them were holding bowls of hot water in one hand and pressing the handle of the knife with the other. Although their hands did not release the weapons, they smiled on their faces.

"What a skill. You dare to walk alone in the woods in the middle of the night and come here cleanly. I don't know where you are from. Are you passing by or looking for us?"

Su Hanshan clasped his fists and said, "I heard that there are strong men in the east of the Yangtze River, clearing out the living corpses, opening up roads, and heading north. Are they you?"

As he spoke, his eyes scanned the crowd, and he suddenly realized that all the soldiers visible in front of him were in their forties or fifties, and there was no young man.
