Chapter 139: Taking care of one thing but losing another (1)
Lu Jian was in mid-air, and felt the wind rushing towards his ears, and the cold and damp air was coming from below. The bottom was dark, and he didn't know how deep it was.The speed of the fall was surprisingly fast, he tried all his hands and feet, but he didn't catch anything to use his strength.Feeling hopeless, there was a gust of wind above his head, followed by a pain in his shoulder and back, as if he was being grabbed by something, Lu Jian looked up, and there was a black shadow above, making a cooing sound.

"Brother He!" Lu Jian cried out in ecstasy.It turned out that the giant crane had been resting on a high place, and suddenly saw Lu Jian falling off the cliff, and rushed to help. Although it was big, it couldn't bear the strength of two people, so it could only slow down its momentum. The crane still fell downward.

It was getting darker and darker, and there was almost no sound except the rumbling of the wind and cranes.Lu Jian's heart rose to his throat, and there was a sudden "crash", his feet were soaked and cold, and the giant crane let go of its claws in response.Both Lu Jian and the man in Tsing Yi fell into the water, there was a sound of flapping wings twice, a gust of wind passed over their heads, and the surroundings suddenly fell silent again.

Lu Jian paddled forward, groped for a while, and found a piece of land, he climbed on it, and sat there panting.

The man in Tsing Yi had been silent for a long time, not knowing whether he was dead or alive. Lu Jian called "Senior" twice, but there was no response. Touching his skin, it seemed that there was still warmth.Lu Jian breathed a sigh of relief, pulled out the dagger from the man in Tsing Yi's shoulder, sealed his blood, and injected the "Great King Kong power" into his back.When the divine power entered his body, the man in Tsing Yi seemed to have a few powerful qi in his body, varying in hardness and softness, entangled vertically and horizontally, and when encountering divine power, he immediately counterattacked viciously.Lu Jian was astonished. If it weren't for the lingering magical skills, he would hardly be able to suppress it.

Lu Jian concentrated on competing with the zhenqi. After a while, the zhenqi succumbed a little, and suddenly he heard the man in Tsing Yi groan and came back to life.Lu Jianxi said, "Senior, are you okay?" The man in Tsing Yi said weakly, "What place is this?"

Lu Jian told about falling off the plank road and being rescued by the giant crane. The man in Tsing Yi sighed, "This is an underground river of darkness. It has been hollowed out under the mountain for a long time." Lu Jian said, "Wait for me to recover my spirit. , take the seniors up."

The man in Tsing Yi raised his eyes to look at the sky, the cliff was so high and steep, and the blue sky was as thin as a gossamer, he shook his head unconsciously and said: "Don't rush out, my enemies are many and strong, knowing that I am still in the world, they are bound to swarm here. It's better to use the trick , Let them think that I fell to my death, after these few days, it will not be too late to sneak out again."

Lu Jianda realized that he was justified, and couldn't help asking: "Senior, what kind of hatred do those two have with you?" To kill?"

The man in Tsing Yi said lightly: "Since ancient times, there have been many people who have killed people because of their different interests. Speaking farther away, Emperor Qin Shidi burned books and robbed Confucianism, Emperor Wudi of Han deposed hundreds of schools, and Emperor Wuzong of Tang worshiped Dao and exterminated Buddhism. When did he not kill people? More recently, this At the time of the founding of the dynasty, Mr. Siqin and Emperor Hongwu did not share their interests. As a result, Emperor Hongwu slaughtered the people of Jiukemen and drove Mr. Siqin to the barren land in the Western Regions. There are countless civil servants and military generals who have lost their heads. Su Dongpo, a generation of writers, was thrown into prison and tortured because of his poems satirizing the New Deal; In Lin'an Prison."

Lu Jian had heard some of these allusions, and some didn't know anything about them. He thought for a while and said, "Even if people with different interests can kill people, what's the hindrance to seniors living in seclusion in the mountains?" The man in Tsing Yi snorted coldly and said, " The tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop, and if I live for a day, they will be afraid in their hearts." He became agitated, pulled his breath, coughed violently, and waited for Lu Jian to breathe a wave of true energy in his back, and then he regained his strength. , sighed, "Ashamed, ashamed."

Lu Jian said: "Senior is not seriously ill?" The man in Tsing Yi said: "I practiced kung fu carelessly back then, leaving chronic illnesses that have lingered for many years, but I'm used to it." Lu Jian asked strangely, "Have you never been treated?" The man in Tsing Yi said coldly: " How could my disease be cured by mediocrity?" Lu Jian said: "So there is a cure?" The man in Tsing Yi was silent for a moment, then suddenly said: "You child, are you really curious?"

Lu Jian couldn't help but feel hot, but the man in Tsing Yi sighed: "My martial arts coincide with the way of heaven and are different. Do you know what is the way of heaven?" Insufficient." The man in Tsing Yi snorted, and said in surprise, "Who told you that?" Lu Jiandao: "Gu Zhen said it, and he also said: 'The way of man is to make up for what is lacking'. The way of humanity is not as good as the way of heaven. He He also said that the way of business is also the way of heaven, but businessmen are ordinary people."

"I haven't seen this kid for a few years, and he has improved a lot!" The man in Tsing Yi seemed to be regretful, and sighed softly, "I didn't understand the way of heaven from the way of business, but it's a pity that the way is easy to come by, but it is very difficult to keep it. Martial arts are basically bullying the weak The way of martial arts is not to kill, it is easier said than done. The stronger my martial arts, the greater my ambition, gradually unable to restrain my desires, and as a result, I lost my Dao heart and fell into human desire..." At this point, he paused, "My Dao heart If the supernatural power is lost, disharmony will arise, and it will be difficult to control the strange zhenqi in the body, and the stronger the supernatural power, the more disharmony, the real qi in the body will not only be difficult to use, but it will also have the tendency to backfire."

Lu Jian said: "That's terrible, how can senior resist?" Tsing Yi said: "This martial art is in line with the way of heaven. No matter how strong the manpower is, how can it resist the way of heaven? Therefore, when encountering such a thing, the only way is to follow the sky Okay, forcibly resisting will only make it worse. It’s like controlling the water. Gun used to block it. The backlash became more and more intense. Later, I finally understood that manpower is small, but the law of heaven is great, and the so-called "man will conquer the sky" is all bullshit."

Lu Jian sighed: "How can we go with the sky?" The man in Tsing Yi smiled and said, "Didn't you say that?"

"That's right!" The man in Tsing Yi sighed softly, "God is different from people. Human beings respect the strong, but heaven hates the strong. Therefore, if a tree is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it, the water will overflow when it is full, and the moon will lose when it is full. So I thought about it for a long time, but I felt that if I want to resolve the disharmony in my body, I can only follow the way of heaven, from strong to weak, from surplus to deficiency."

Lu Jian was surprised: "How to change from strong to weak, from surplus to deficiency?" Tsing Yi said humanely: "There are two ways, the first is to abolish martial arts..." Lu Jian was surprised: "How can I do it?"

"That's right." The man in Tsing Yi sighed, "It's not easy for me to practice martial arts, and I have gone through countless hardships. Although self-defeating martial arts can cure the root cause, I am very reluctant, so I retreated to the second method and used the second method. Then That is: self-styled meridian, no more force!"

Lu Jian suddenly realized, nodded and said: "Sir, this is why you live in seclusion here?" The man in Tsing Yi sighed: "It's a pity that this method only treats the symptoms but not the root cause, and backfires from time to time. When the enemy came today, I couldn't help breaking the seal and using force. If it wasn't for your help, I would have almost become a ghost under the spring." Lu Jian secretly felt ashamed, and said: "I started today's incident, so I should resist those two villains. But , besides these two methods, is there no other way?"

There was a moment of silence in the ground, the man in Tsing Yi let out a breath, and said slowly: "There is a method, but it is very difficult to implement."

"Sir, please tell me." Lu Jian said generously, "No matter what the method is, I will definitely help you with all my strength." The man in Tsing Yi said, "I have thought about it carefully, the reason why I couldn't resist the robbery back then was due to the way of heaven, and the second is weak power. You Think about it, I practiced the backlash zhenqi myself, and I also practiced the supernatural power to resist the backlash, in this way, it’s like hitting your own head with your own hand, either hand pain or headache, no matter how you hit it, it still hurts.”

When Lu Jian heard this analogy, he couldn't help laughing out loud, but the voice of the man in Tsing Yi was very heavy: "So one person counts the disadvantages, and the other two counts the strengths. If I have a top expert to help me avoid the robbery, I may be able to succeed. It's just that Experts are rare in the world, and if they find them, they may not be willing to help me." Lu Jian said, "Why is it so hard to find?"

The man in Tsing Yi said: "First, this master has to reach the realm of 'returning the gods to the void', otherwise, it will be useless." Lu Jianqi said, "Returning the void to the gods?" Do not leave the four realms, the first is refining essence to transform qi, the second is refining qi to return to spirit, the third is refining spirit to return to emptiness, and the fourth is refining emptiness to join the way. Most of the masters in the world stay in the two realms of refining essence and refining qi. With divine power and true energy, he is second-rate at best, and if he meets a master of alchemy, he will lose at nineteen."

Lu Jian pondered for a while and said, "How many masters of alchemy are there in the world?" The man in Tsing Yi said indifferently: "As far as I know, there are no more than four masters of alchemy in this world!" Lu Jian mused, "Wan Guizang Count one, Gu Shentong and Yu Monk each have one, and who is the remaining one is really unpredictable!"

The man in Tsing Yi smiled slightly, and suddenly sighed: "The one left is your step!" Lu Jian was startled, waved his hands, and said loudly, "I'm not counted!"

The man in Tsing Yi smiled, and then said: "The so-called helping me resist robbery does not mean helping me resist my true energy, but helping me resist my inner demons. As long as my mind is clear, I can use my spirit to control my energy, and my true energy will not be able to backfire." But if this master has not reached the realm of refining gods, he will not be able to match my divine will, let alone help me resist my inner demons."

Lu Jian sighed: "It's a pity that among the three masters of refining gods, only Gu Shentong is left. He has a weird temper, and it's hard to ask him for help!" Is he dead?" Lu Jian said softly, "Master's old wounds flared up, and he sat down in Dongying a few months ago, and I was by his side at that time." The man in Tsing Yi was silent for a long time, let out a breath, and said softly, "Unfortunately, Monk Yu is merciful. In my heart, if he is alive, he may still be willing to save me... Alas, I can't live if I committed a crime." Lu Jian said strangely: "Who are you calling a crime?"

The man in Tsing Yi remained silent.Lu Jian was flustered, hesitated for a while, and asked, "Senior, am I really a master of alchemy?" The man in Tsing Yi said coldly, "If you say yes, then it is!" Lu Jian was surprised: "I said ?” The man in Tsing Yi sighed: “If you have no confidence at all, who would dare to trust you?”

Lu Jian gritted his teeth, and raised his voice, "Senior, if you are not afraid that I will hurt you, Lu Jian is willing to do his best!" The man in Tsing Yi grunted and said, "Son, you have figured it out. Helping me avoid robbery may not Success, if there is a mistake, you and I will die together." Lu Jian said resolutely, "I figured it out, saving people is like putting out a fire, I will help seniors, just for peace of mind."

The man in Tsing Yi was silent for a moment, then smiled lightly again, and said, "You kid, you are really interesting!" Lu Jian said, "Senior, how did you resist the robbery? Please tell me!" The man in Tsing Yi laughed: "Why worry, eat enough Get enough sleep and recover your energy." Lu Jian said: "It's dark here, how can there be anything to eat?" Tsing Yi said: "Listen carefully." Lu Jian listened attentively, and suddenly heard a soft sound, like a fish swinging tail.Lu Jian said in surprise, "There are fish in the water?"

"Exactly!" said the man in Tsing Yi, "You have great skill, and it's easy to catch it." Lu Jian was surprised when he heard that, thinking that this man is indeed Gu Zhen's master, he is very knowledgeable, and he knows his own skills.Thinking about jumping into the water, caught a ten-jin big fish, and swam back to the shore. The fish had no scales, and the whole body was transparent, with five internal organs visible.Lu Jian said curiously, "Senior, this fish looks really weird."

The man in Tsing Yi said: "This place is connected to the underground Yin River. These strange fish grew up in the cold spring of the Yin River. Because they were born without sunlight, their flesh and blood turned colorless after a long period of time. The water in this Yin River is extremely cold and cloudy." , it can't be a living thing, this fish grows in the place of Xuanyin, it is the yang in the yin, it can nourish the vitality."

Lu Jian understood half of what he heard, so he divided the fish into two halves and ate them separately from the man in Tsing Yi.The strange fish is endowed with cold air, very little fishy smell, and the meat tastes plump, and it is also delicious to eat raw.

After eating the fish, Lu Jian drank two more mouthfuls of Yinhe cold spring, feeling the coldness to the bone, and hurriedly summoned his supernatural powers to dispel the cold.After sitting for a while, he asked, "Senior, why didn't you ask how Gu Zhen died?"

The man in Tsing Yi said lightly: "Life is life, and death is death. People die all the time in this world. Some die of old age, some starve to death, some drown, some burn to death, some fall off a cliff and die, and some are tortured." When people are killed, there are many strange ways to die, but there is only one result, since all methods are unified, how did they die, what is there to ask?"

Lu Jian wanted to tell the man in Tsing Yi the cause of Gu Zhen's death, but he stopped him with a few words, feeling awkward and depressed. Just as he was about to say more, the man in Tsing Yi suddenly lay down on the rock and fell asleep.Lu Jian felt bored, so he had to lie down and rest.

After sleeping for a long time, he woke up in horror. Looking up, the man in Tsing Yi had already woken up, his eyes were as bright as cold stars, shining in the darkness.

"Are you awake?" The man in Tsing Yi's voice was cold, vaguely absent, "I'll pass on a mental method to you, and you will defend against robbery later, and you will practice according to the law." After speaking, he said the formula, probably some restraint of the primordial spirit , The method of controlling Qi with God.

Lu Jian practiced according to the law. He practiced the "Six Aspects of King Kong". He originally had six kinds of spirits, which were similar to the method of the man in Tsing Yi, so he got started very quickly. After practicing for two hours, he felt hungry and caught another strange fish , and people in Tsing Yi share food to satisfy their hunger.

After eating the fish, the man in Tsing Yi said: "This is dangerous, you have time to regret it." Lu Jian said: "Senior, you underestimate people. I'm not a gentleman, so I can't say nine things, but if I say it, there are still seven things and eight things. .”

The man in Tsing Yi nodded and said: "Good boy." Lu Jian suddenly said: "Senior, there is one thing, I don't know if I should ask it or not?" The man in Tsing Yi said: "Tell me!" What's more, it's disrespectful for the kid to not know the name of the senior after his death."

The man in Tsing Yi smiled and said, "I call myself the Master of Ruoxu Hall, and you call me Mr. Ruoxu." He never told me his real name, Lu Jian felt very strange, but he didn't want to force others to make things difficult, so he nodded.

The man in Tsing Yi said again: "After doing the exercises later, you will not pay any attention to any visions you perceive. Be sure to guard your heart lamp and not be moved. If you are excited by illusions, all previous efforts will be wasted. This matter depends on your success or my success. do not forget."

Lu Jian agreed, and the two of them sat quietly facing each other, each performing their own thoughts. After a while, all worries were cleared up, and spirits met.Lu Jian suddenly felt a slight shock in his body, and his eyes brightened. For a moment, the sky and the earth appeared, vast and boundless.

Lu Jianda felt strange, he was clearly in the Yin River underground, how could he see such a scene?As soon as my mind moved, there was loud thunder in my ears, the wind and clouds surged, the dark clouds gathered in the thousands of miles of sky, and lightning bolts split the clouds through the sky, like golden snakes walking around, and thousands of thunders exploded one after another, almost like a single sound.Lu Jian's heart beat faster and faster with the thunder, as if it was about to break out of his chest.

Not long after the thunder and lightning lasted, there was a tornado and hurricane. Thousands of wind columns twisted and swayed, connecting the sky and the earth. The huge boulders were blown by the wind and rolled all over the ground, as fast as a horse or a shooting star. The weeds die down.

The strong wind blows like being cut by a knife.Lu Jian endured it for a while, and suddenly felt his body lighten, like a feather fluttering in the strong wind.Lightning bolts fell from the sky, and the skin was numb and painful, as if being in the furnace of heaven and earth.

In the pain, the torrential rain was like pouring, the rain was as thick as a child's arm, hitting the body, and the dampness spread, and the surrounding water was vast, and I saw flood waves surging, fish and dragons diving, giant whales swallowing boats, old dragons dancing, and huge waves like a snow-capped mountain of silver. , The sky is overwhelming, the mighty force is majestic, it seems to smash everything.

All kinds of illusions are strange and bizarre, and what is especially uncomfortable is that the feeling in the illusion is extremely real. Lu Jianrufei has experienced the suffering of "Heitian Tribulation" and has a strong mind. He may have collapsed in horror.

The seascape became more and more strange, and suddenly, everything was silent, the thunder stopped, the electricity stopped, the wind stopped, the clouds dispersed, the rain stopped, and the tide receded.In a blink of an eye, the sea has changed.Lu Jian set foot on the ground, but fortunately, the ground in front of him split open, thousands of peaks and mountains rose from the ground, and the ground split, the mountain peaks were broken, and hundreds of feet of fire spewed out. Lu Jian's body was on fire, it was extremely hot.

The fire on the earth was in full swing, and suddenly the sky and the earth were spinning again. The sky and the earth suddenly changed positions. Lu Jian stepped into the air and fell suddenly. The vast sky turned into a bottomless abyss. Far.
