wandering fairy

"Your appetite has become so large recently. You eat a few big bowls at a time, and you are still hungry." The druid maintained a strange standing posture, standing next to the herb garden, and suddenly faced someone who was waving a dagger, Le Lin, who practiced martial arts, said: "In a situation like this, it's usually a problem with the liver and pancreas. But I don't think you look sick."

Le Lin sneered, and replied: "You are the only one who is sick. I am entering the 11th level, and my body has changed, so my appetite has increased a lot. When I officially reach the 11th level, my appetite will return to normal."

The druid became interested: "Change? What change?" His standing posture remained unchanged, his legs were slightly opened and slightly bent, his chest was raised and his abdomen was drawn in, and his arms were kept in the air with a half-throwing fist.

From Lelin's point of view, this posture is useless except to stretch the body and train the arm strength by the way.But Druid just said that he was "warming up".As for "raising", I didn't say anything.

It takes half a day to stand like him. Could it be that he is raising saplings?Lelin smiled secretly.

After hearing what Druid said just now, Le Lin wanted to laugh again, what a "master" without common sense.I had to be patient and said: "Any warrior, as his level rises, his body will change. At the first level 5, the body of the warrior is still the body of an ordinary person, but it is stronger. At level 6, the muscles of the warrior Bones begin to become as strong as beasts. At level 11, the body of a warrior becomes like a ferocious animal. The strength and reaction speed of bones, muscles and muscles become very fast, and the skin and flesh become very strong and resistant to blows. This change lasts until level 11 It’s over, and each type of warrior is different in the details of the change. Like a rogue, he prefers reaction and physical coordination, a barbarian fighter prefers strength and speed, and a warrior focuses on the coordination of hands, feet, and eyes in addition to strength. .Because soldiers need to be able to operate all kinds of war equipment, not just fight in groups."

"Wait a minute!" Druid stood up straight suddenly: "You mean from level 11 to level 15, your muscles, bones, skin and flesh will undergo natural changes?!" His tone was very excited: "But as far as I know , The bodies of ferocious animals are very different from ordinary animals, and even more different from humans! You can actually complete the transformation from human physique to ferocious animal physique by yourself?"

He walked over excitedly, and said, "Come, come, show me your arm." He grabbed Le Lin's arm and pulled it involuntarily.

Le Lin instinctively pulled back, but she couldn't pull it back!The back of the druid's hand seemed to be an iron arm made of steel, and he couldn't break free!Immediately, she was startled: "He hasn't changed shape, how can he still be so strong? He is even stronger than me, a 10th fighter! Could it be that his physique is already stronger than that of ferocious animals? '? But he's already so good, why would he be interested in an ordinary change?"

Just as she was thinking, she suddenly felt a strange force emanating from the druid's palm, spreading rapidly across her body. She suddenly felt that she couldn't lift any strength, but she wasn't weak, just unable to exert force.

Knowing that the master of the druid has a lot of strange skills, and knowing that he has no intention of harm, Le Lin can only let him go.

After a while, the Druid put down her arm, raised her head in thought, and said, "It's really changing, it's strange, why is it different from what I thought. It seems that I need to find some time to study it." The face looked carefully and said: "I haven't noticed yet, you seem to have gained weight."

Lelin, however, was a little proud. Her beautiful curved eyebrows were raised high, and she said, "It's not that I've gained weight, but my skin has become thicker and tougher. Ordinary blows can't damage the skin."

"How tough is it?" Druid asked seriously.

Le Lin didn't speak, and when she picked up a goose egg-sized piece on the ground, she slammed it on her forehead.

With a bang, the stone shattered into several pieces.And there were only slight red marks on her smooth forehead.With a ferocious animal-like physique, her body has really reached the point of "hard wood"!

Druid suddenly became happy for some reason, applauded and said: "Sure enough, I see that you have never practiced martial arts against blows, and it is really not easy to achieve such a level by relying on the natural changes of your body! By the way, This change ends at level 15, what about after level 16?"

Le Lin shrugged her toned shoulders and said: "If you go further up, your body won't change much. It's mainly for training various combat weapons and equipment. You must know that a qualified fighter needs to be proficient in various combat tools, be able to ride and shoot, know how to Fighting on foot, can attack the city, and is good at running. It is not like a gladiator fighting one-on-one. With a strong body like a ferocious animal, these things are much easier to handle. At least the fighters are like this. I am a fighter, as long as Knowing this, as for the brutal fighter or the rogue, I don't know."

Druid nodded and said: "Well, let's talk about it later. Also, you don't seem to read the book I gave you much recently. The book was originally on your side, but I saw that Bob Feith kept reading Take it with you."

Lelin said bluntly: "That book is useless, full of big words and a bunch of vague concepts, as ignorant as the theories of mages and scriptures of priests. What I need is Books that can improve physical abilities, rather than wasting time in those words, it is better to exercise more, so that the body can complete the violent changes faster. So I gave that book to Bob Feith." The beautiful face squeezed out A charming smile.

Dong Hezi was very helpless, so he had no choice but to say: "That is the most basic thing. If you can't even master the knowledge in it, then you can't learn higher things. And it doesn't matter if you don't understand it. You can memorize it first." Come down, and gradually understand in life and exercise in the future, the knowledge in it is not easy to understand, sometimes it takes a lifetime of time and energy to understand."

Hearing what he said, Le Lin felt overwhelmed, "It took a lifetime" to understand "the most basic things", when can I learn the Druid's ability to be invulnerable to weapons and magic spells!

In the evening, when the druid was teaching the two of them, the painted-faced badger named Budbey was napping on a leather cushion at his feet.When I feel comfortable sleeping, I turn over and continue to sleep with my head tilted with my belly up, and some saliva flows out from the corner of my mouth from time to time.What a very comfortable look!

At this time, Le Lin was very envious of it, eating and sleeping whenever she wanted, and never having to listen to lectures.Especially listening to meaningless discussions.For example, now, Druid began to discuss some boring topics with Bob Feith again.

Bob Fith first asked a question: "Your "One Core and Five Faces Classic", the metal, wood, water, fire, and earth written in it are different from the earth, water, wind, and fire we usually talk about. What's the relationship? The name seems to be the same thing, but according to the description in the book, it seems to be quite different. I'm a little confused now."

Dong Hezi was stunned for a moment, and then said happily: "You can find the problem, you really learned it with your heart. Let me tell you, the metal, wood, water, fire, and earth mentioned by our secret art druids , has nothing to do with what people call earth, water, wind, and fire! They just use those names to make it easier for ordinary people to understand! In fact, you replace metal, wood, water, fire, and earth with a, B, c, d, e are fine too. The most important thing is not what they are called, but what they reveal.”

Lelin's beautiful eyes showed a helpless expression, feeling very bored.What is the use of gold, wood, water, fire, earth, abcde, and circles around these concepts all day long?It's better to learn how to use a weapon, at least it's still useful when going into battle to kill the enemy.

Bob Feith, who was on the side, became interested, and quickly asked, "What's the point? Teacher, I've been thinking about it for a long time, but I've come up with nothing."

Dong Hezi said leisurely: "There are many meanings, I can only pick one or two to explain to you. You have also seen my picture of 'Five Elements Shengke', have you seen any tricks?"

Seeing him shaking his head, he opened the book, pointed to the picture and said: "You can see that the five constitute a whole, and in this whole, each has four relationships with the others. One is beneficial to me, One is for my benefit, one is for restraining me, and one is for restraining me. Everything in the world has its environment. With the environment, there will be these four relationships. No one can escape. "

"You see, although eagles fly high and have few natural enemies, they will die, because the natural lifespan is to restrain it. No matter how far they see or how large the territory they control, they cannot escape the power that restrains it. "

"Although caterpillars are small and humble, weak and have many natural enemies, they have always been passed down from generation to generation, because there are always those who are beneficial to them. No matter how short-sighted and incompetent they are, there are always a few who can get Conducive to their own environment to continue to survive and continue."

"You see, the earthworm is stupid and ruthless, but it unknowingly loosens the soil and helps the plants grow as it travels. Although it is humble and weak, and has no intention of helping others, it always benefits the plants unintentionally. Regardless of the reason If you don’t want to, it’s unavoidable.”

"These relationships are everywhere, so no matter where we are, as long as we observe carefully, we can discover these relationships, so that we can understand our situation and how to deal with it more quickly."

"If a king thinks he has power over others and acts recklessly, forgetting that there are always powers over himself, he will inadvertently strengthen these powers and eventually lead to the downfall of the country. If a beggar thinks he is useless But if he abandons himself and forgets that there is always a force that is beneficial to him, he will give up the chance of survival in vain. So keep this principle in mind, and you can quickly find a way to gain advantages and avoid disadvantages in a complicated environment.”

Bob Feith was enlightened after hearing this, but he asked again: "You said that gold, wood, water, fire, and earth are just names, and it doesn't matter what they are called. But I read in the book that these five have their own characteristics, so how can it be different? Divide each other, mix it up?"

Dong Hezi said slowly: "When understanding the characteristics of these five elements, you must understand them fundamentally, not in a superficial sense. Let's take fire as an example. Wood can burn, and flames are born. But before the wood burns, Flame is only potential, not actual existence. At this time, we can say that flame is in the state of 'water', you have to pay attention, the water here does not refer to the general water liquid, but refers to the state of things that have been conceived but not born ! It's just named 'Water'."

Seeing that Bob Feith nodded in understanding, Dong Hezi went on to say: "Then the wood was heated and smoked, and some sparks came out. At this time, we can say that the flame is in the state of 'wood'. This 'wood' does not mean Plant, but refers to the state of things that have been born, but are very weak."

Seeing Bob Feith nodded again, Dong Hezi was very relieved. Beginners can easily confuse the name with its connotation. Some beginners of the Five Elements always rigidly connect it with the actual substance, but they don’t understand it. Discover the abstract meaning revealed by the five elements.It's pretty good that Bob Fith can understand quickly.Then he smiled and said: "When the wood is completely burned, things are in their peak state. At this time, we say that the flame is already in the state of 'fire'."

Bob Feith let out an "oh" and said by himself: "So when the wood is burned to ashes and the flame goes out, isn't it in the state of 'soil'? This state means things are in a period of decay?"

Dong Hezi said happily: "That's it, what's next?"

Bob Fith thought for a long time with a distressed face, and tentatively said: "The leftover charcoal ash has become soil and fertilizer, which makes new vegetation grow and the flame is in the state of 'water' again. Before that, There is neither the flame nor the wood and charcoal associated with the flame, and the flame is in a state of being deeply 'buried', and this state is what the book calls 'gold'?"

Dong Hezi laughed and said: "That's it! You see, water, wood, fire, earth, and metal here have nothing to do with matter, but represent the five periods of gestation, birth, prosperity, decline, and submersion of things. At the same time, although things are finally submerged in the invisible, it will reappear in another form in the future, but it can no longer be the same as before, just like the flames born from new vegetation will never be the same as the previous flames .

He smiled and stroked Bob Feith's head and said: "So don't just look at the superficial names, let alone mix these five things with ordinary substances because of the names! You must carefully understand their inner meanings."

Le Lin couldn't help interjecting: "What's the use of experiencing it? I understand these principles even if you don't tell them. They are just some basic knowledge." She stood up and counted: "I'm a little sleepy, first Go back to bed."

Dong Hezi watched her leave, but just shook his head.It seems that it is impossible to expect her to inherit some Taoism.

On the third day, the wind and snow subsided a bit, and the painted-faced badger Budbe followed the two of them to eat a sumptuous breakfast, then wandered out through the crack of the door and ran to the snow-covered hillside to plan things in Yanfengli. To dig.It has been snowing heavily for the past few days, making it stuffy in the stone castle. Now let's vent our instinct of searching for bugs and beasts.After a while, it ran back with a small stiff snake the size of a thumb in its mouth.

Since there was warm and sufficient food, it didn't need to eat these cold things, but brought it to Dong Hezi to please.

Dong Hezi was half lying on the armchair reading a thick book about the history of the Western Continent. Seeing Budbe humming and rubbing against his feet, he knew that it wanted to be caressed.Then he took the stiff little snake from its mouth, and while playing with it, stroked its thick and warm fur and said, "It's just right, I used to make worms, this time I will try to see if the snake can do it."

And Lelin was standing beside her, imitating Dong Hezi's standing posture a few days ago in 'warming up'.

Druid said that this method is called "stand up", and Le Lin felt that she was really "standing up like a stake".The fighter training I have undergone before has emphasized sports and fighting, and I have never trained standing still and stupidly.

But this morning, Druid suddenly threw a book to himself, saying that training according to the method in the book can improve the body's resistance to shocks, and it can also make the body have the ability to heal itself. It can also make the body have the ability to avoid damage!

If you want to practice, the first thing you need to do is to "stand up" and cooperate with certain breathing methods and mind guidance.This made Lelin wonder if this method is the training method for spiritual warriors?Only spiritual warriors would emphasize mind guidance!He is a druid, possesses good martial arts skills, also knows the training method of psychic powers, plus some strange abilities, what exactly does this guy do?

Of course Dong Hezi would not tell her what he did, because she would not understand.I thought about it last night, since this half-drow slave girl doesn't like theory and speculation, then let her learn some practical Taoism directly.So today I threw the "Nine Turns Yimai **" that I had already prepared to her, and asked her to practice by herself.

This book is actually Jiuzhuan Yimai ** is actually a branch of Jiuzhuan Xuangong.It should be known that Jiuzhuan Xuangong is not a kind of exercise, but a general term for a class of exercises.Generally, those who study immortals are most seeking to transcend life and death. To transcend life and death, one must keep the primordial spirit immortal, but to find a body to entrust the primordial spirit.That is "possessing the divine form", otherwise the primordial spirit is alone and strong without a good body, just like a small boat entering the sea, although it is temporarily safe, it will eventually perish one day.On the contrary, it is even more unbearable to have only an extraordinary body and a weak soul. There is no need for catastrophe, and only some profound witchcraft can kill him.And if you have a strong physique but no way to change, it is like a reef, although it is tenacious, it will eventually submerge.Therefore, there is no way that superior skills are both.

Although the main points are the same, the methods are different.The most widely spread immortal art in ancient times was centered on the cultivation of primordial spirit.When the primordial spirit grows stronger, it is accompanied by the transformation of the physical body into an extraordinary body, and every gesture is protected by the power of heaven and earth.This is not the case with the Twelve Golden Immortals.

But there are many other methods besides this, although they all need to practice the five qi in the same way as the Yuanshen practice in the early stage.But it's a big difference when you get to the heights.Among them is a very large category, which focuses on cultivating the physical body. When the physical body is extraordinary, it also supplements the primordial spirit. When the two practice together in the later stage, they can also cultivate the acquired immortal body.To put it bluntly, it is to train one's physical body into a magic weapon, so that it can survive forever without fake foreign objects!

This method is roughly divided into two types, one focuses on the way of change, and the other focuses on the way of keeping the original.

Lu Yuexiu, who is a student of Jiejiao, is the way of change, and its characteristic is to change at will.The pinnacle of this technique is able to understand the essence of the changes of thousands of things, so it is natural to be fearless in all calamities.It's just that he was not good at learning art, and he also learned a lot of miscellaneous arts, which distracted his energy, so that this Taoism did not flourish.

On the contrary, Yu Yuan, Dong Hezi's patriarch, practiced the way of keeping the yuan, and this way is not good at changing, but once he cultivated it, except for the magic weapon that contains the innate killing power, any acquired magic weapon and strange technique will be of no use. Can't kill.

Of course, there are also fellow practitioners of the two, such as Yang Jian, and Yuan Hong, who is also the Seven Monsters of Meishan.

The "Jiuzhuan Yimai **" that was thrown to Le Lin actually came from the line that Lu Yue cultivated, but the skills were incomplete and were not taken seriously.Later, some of the fragments flowed to the southern Xinjiang for a generation, and then merged with the local witchcraft training methods and martial arts training methods, and finally formed a new exercise.Although this skill is only a low-level Taoist technique, it can be as strong as steel and has infinite strength when practiced to the extreme. It is as easy as breaking gold and copper, and it has the miraculous effect of quickly healing internal and external wounds!Back then, there was a practitioner whose dantian was broken by enemies and trapped in an underground stone prison.His practice is still shallow, and he doesn't know how to fly into the sky and escape from the ground, so the enemies thought that he couldn't get out of the dungeon.Unexpectedly, he practiced the Nine-turn Yimai Acupoint, and used this technique to bypass the dantian, and replaced it with the gate of life.After several years of practicing in secret, he recovered most of his strength and finally escaped.

Thinking of this, Dong Hezi couldn't help feeling a little sad, why isn't he trapped in a stone prison now?Ever since Yuanshen came to this world, he has encountered the biggest change in his life—this world is unable to perform Gangsha!It means that most of the spells learned before are all invalid!But at this time, the Xuan Mi Pearl was "sleeping" and could not be used, and most of the secret magic treasure records learned were also abolished, only a few were kept.This is like a heavy infantry wearing heavy armor and holding a big sword and thick shield, suddenly throwing down the sword shield and heavy armor, carrying a bow, arrow and spear and riding on the horse to act as a cavalry archer. The original martial arts skills are equivalent to useless!Over the past few years, this body's Nine Turns Mysterious Art has made slow progress, only the talisman is easy to practice in this world, so it has made some progress.

Talisman, oh Talisman, can you become my nine-turn Yimai **?
