Ascension journey - 275

At a hidden entrance of the underground labyrinth that extends in all directions, Jiang Qing stretched his hand into the sunlight outside the shadow of the boulder, and experienced and recorded the changes that he had made under the sunlight.

“I heard that in some places with peculiar environments, the sunlight will be deflected and the shadow will be larger than the silhouette of a person. I don’t know if it is true or not…”

Looking at the light black projection printed by the sunlight directly under his hand, Jiang Qing’s mouth slightly cocked when he remembered some information.

In Sun Lang’s words, this land where all beings are prosperous is called Qiankun, and it seems to be a flat land extending infinitely in all directions, but in fact the line of sight of human beings and the land itself are bent under the invisible force.

If you choose a direction at will, people will go higher and higher without knowing it, and finally go round to the top of their head, and then walk back to the original place from the direction behind.

The earth is like a hollow sphere. People live on the inner side of the sphere. As the shell of the earth, I don’t know how thick it is. The center of the hollow sphere is the sun and the moon, which changes the state of yin and yang every day.

It’s just that this land is so vast that ordinary people can’t walk through a corner in their entire life. There are some curious predecessors in the spiritual world, who spent a lot of time completing the feat of circling the world.

I don’t know why, even Sun Lang, a beginner practitioner, is a little skeptical of the common sense popularized by these teachers, but Jiang Qing, a rural teenager who first heard about it, easily accepted the abstraction beyond ordinary people’s understanding of the bending of the earth and the change in the direction of gravity. After verifying the information, combined with some details in the life experience, I am even more convinced.

“Sunlight erosion has reached its limit… This time it did not take the initiative to resist, and it performed much better than in the last experiment. If you cover it a little, you should be able to move freely in the daytime…”

After losing his physical strength to a certain extent, Jiang Qing, who felt unusually uncomfortable, withdrew his hand from the sun. Without paper and pen, his head automatically sorted and archived complex and fuzzy body changes, which served as the data basis for later analysis.

Walking towards the depths of the underground labyrinth that he personally opened up and repaired on the basis of natural caves, Jiang Qing’s body trembled slightly as he walked, bones, muscles and muscles honed each other in resonance, and a trace of the vitality potential of this monster body was stimulated. .

After walking in this way for a long time, he came to a clean and tidy square room with a large number of bottles and cans before Jiang Qing relaxed, and the feeling of weakness caused by the sun’s rays disappeared without a trace.

The body trembling along the way is a kind of physical exercise method that Jiang Qing can perform at any time after obtaining the relevant basic knowledge, combining human cognition and medical health techniques.

Because the qi that constitutes everything in this world reacts with the spirit of life, it is not difficult to touch the qi that can be mobilized by the body or mind. Like Jiang Qing before his death, he can also produce a little qi by practicing health-preserving techniques indiscriminately. Feeling coming.

Because of this, the world of spiritual practice can be said to be a hundred flowers blooming, and there are people walking all kinds of spiritual paths. The theory and discipline of spiritual practice are even more inconsistent, and there is no unified understanding at all.

Like the Sun Lang that Jiang Qing met before, Sun Lang belongs to the Five Elements Gate, which is a firm supporter of the theory of qi transforming yin and yang to evolve the five elements.

Except for the four major cultivation stages of refining and refining Qi, refining Qi to transform God, refining God to return to the Void, and refining the Void and Combining Taoism, the practitioners all do their own things. body…

Even some extreme sects feel that only their own path is correct, and the practitioners of other paths are all heretics.

Based on this environment, there are even more ways to practice… The most common ways to get started are guidance, qi movement, sitting and forgetting, visualization, external alchemy, etc., or one of them, or a combination of multiple.

The health-preserving technique that Jiang Qing practiced before he was alive belongs to the kind of guidance, that is, the method of adjusting one’s own life state through complex changes in breathing and body movements to obtain the vitality of life.

However, Jiang Qing’s physique changed a lot after becoming a demon, and many things couldn’t be used anymore.

Jiang Qing, who might be curious about the demon body’s serious practice, collected information based on the current accumulated and summarized laws, used himself as an experiment, and devised a new guidance method.

Anyway, demons are not as fragile as humans, and no matter how complex injuries are exposed to the sun in the moonlight, they will slowly and automatically recover. It is very convenient to conduct experiments.

In the end, he really managed to come up with a set. Although this set of guidance methods is rough and simple, at least the demons can train, restore physical strength, and increase physical strength and body control.

And the experiment just now has proved that if the body is kept in a guided state at all times, Jiang Qing can also perform a lot of activities during the day, and the sun can no longer cause obvious damage, which is pretty good in terms of the result.

In fact, if the method of contemplation and contemplation is added to this technique, and the natural resentment that was born when the corpse demon was born, the effect of cultivation and strengthening will probably not be much smaller than that of devouring creatures.

But Jiang Qing didn’t want to do this. Even if there were similar methods in the things he had stolen or robbed, even if the enemy who made him a demon still lived in his induction, he was unwilling to pursue this and cannibalism. The same will lose the mental power.

Anyway, he does not lack channels for gaining power now.

Jiang Qing glanced at the neatly arranged bottles and cans of different sizes on the stone platform.

The vitality does not only change drastically when life is involved. Flames, ice, corrosion, explosions…even the sun and moon above the head that transform yin and yang every day are the external manifestations of the changes in vitality itself.

Inside those bottles and cans, various substances extracted from trees, minerals, oils, etc. are stored, and they will follow a fixed law to produce usable reactions.

These things can be separated and extracted thanks to the knowledge Jiang Qing learned in drug identification and the external alchemy recipes contributed by some enthusiastic bandits living in the mountains.

With the help of these substances that can interact wonderfully with each other, and the magic techniques recorded on the jade slips of the Five Elements Gate, Jiang Qing has figured out some ways to utilize the potential power of substances or vital energy of different natures.

Although this kind of power is not as good as the mana of the practitioners after entry, it is far stronger than the power that the current Jiang Qing demon body can erupt, and it should be more than enough for revenge.

At least according to the observation results of the previous few times, although those enemies practice martial arts, they are not real practitioners after all, but ordinary flesh and blood.

This big hiding spot wasn’t made by Jiang Qing with his claws bit by bit. He knew the power of what he had on hand.

“Daylight is no longer an obstacle…is it time to take revenge?”

Jiang Qing sighed and began to sort out the various props in her dark den, preparing for the next action.

Jiang Qing felt extremely contradictory about revenge for the generals who slaughtered the village where he grew up.

To be honest, even if he doesn’t do anything right now, just lying there, the power he can exert will become stronger bit by bit with the information surging in his mind.

If he follows the plans that have emerged from the spirit, continues to observe and study the law of vitality changes, and find ways to observe vitality matter in a subtle way, the power he controls will surely increase more quickly.

In that case, the success rate of revenge will become higher…

But Jiang Qing didn’t want to drag on any longer.

With more and more information in his mind, his thinking becomes wider and deeper, and the hatred of destroying the family that he was obsessed with before becomes less and less, as if revenge is becoming an irrelevant thing. , Become something not worth wasting energy.

He was afraid that one day, the resentment remaining in his heart would be replaced and obliterated by another will. He would treat this matter as a dispensable task to complete at hand, or even just leave it behind.

“But after the revenge is successful, what will happen to me, who cut off the last trace of obsession during my lifetime?”

The corpse demons are born with a grievance. If the cause and effect are resolved along with the grievance, most of the critical changes will occur.

And when I don’t know who can take care of my own mind, this change may be drastically beyond imagination…

Jiang Qing’s sense of contradiction lies in this, it seems that no matter how he chooses, he can’t change the fate of his future that is not under his control.

“I heard that when a practitioner arrives at a certain threshold, he will encounter heart calamity. Faced with an extraterritorial celestial demon who doesn’t know where he came from… I don’t know if the relevant experience methods will be useful for my situation.”

……

On a spacious dirt road at the foot of a low hill, a lot of dust was rising like a dragon.

Dozens of cavalry with guns, swords and bows and crossbows galloped along the road, and the dense horseshoes trampled on the ground, causing the shock to spread far.

The sparse pedestrians on the road changed their expressions greatly after hearing this sound, and dodged quickly to both sides, for fear that they would be crushed by this galloping army, and they would die in vain.

This army ran a little fast, because it was not far from the city where it was going. Bathing, delicacies, beauties, etc. were waiting in front, and they couldn’t help but be impatient.

The group of black horses that ran the most anxious and most majestic in the front, the red robe fluttering in the wind, the general in a delicate armor was the leader of this team.

Under the half-covered helmet is a very young face, but relying on his family background and martial arts, he has become a general with thousands of people under Zhengerbajing. If it were not for the defeat in the last battle, he would continue to promote rapidly.

The military camp is behind the direction they came from. In theory, they should be stationed there for a long time. They can easily move without an order, but anyway, the military camp is not as comfortable as a bustling city.

So he used relationships and money every three to five times, and used all kinds of official business as an excuse to take his soldiers to leave the camp and enter the city to enjoy himself, and he was about to form a habit and law.

Today, this law is cheaper for his enemies. Without the various protections of military camps and cities, the monsters who can act during the day will not let this opportunity pass.

“There are no other people, they are all familiar faces, very good…”

At the top of the hill next to the road, the layers of ice crystals that twisted and magnified the scene in front of Jiang Qing’s eyes dissipated, and he murmured in his mouth and lifted the tightly sealed package next to him.

He didn’t plan to fight close and head-on battles with the army that had long been fighting. It was time to show the real power accumulated during this time.

After checking the various fixed bits and pieces on his body, Jiang Qing jumped down from the rock mountain holding the heavy package!

The cloak curled up behind him suddenly stretched out and expanded into a huge flying wing. The cloak and Jiang Qing’s body scattered some material, and a violent reaction occurred under the penetration of his vitality, stably releasing power that could be borrowed.

The picture of power changes and a series of numerical formulas are rolling in Jiang Qing’s mind, allowing him to flexibly control the changes of his own Qi, while fighting against gravity, using the wind and cloak to convert the force of falling into the speed of gliding. The running army.

The flying Jiang Qingxue danced wildly, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

He didn’t use the mind power of unknown origin that could control kinetic energy, and only relying on the knowledge of airflow movement and a little vitality and external force to achieve such a smooth flight, he felt a kind of indescribable happiness.

The cavalry on the rush noticed the dark shadow falling diagonally in front of him. The ordinary soldier thought it was some kind of huge bird, but the general with strong eyesight had already seen such a strange figure.

Able to fly off the ground…Where did the practitioners come from? No, this kind of weird look… is it a monster? !

The general, who realized that the other party was wrong, subconsciously touched his armor, which was much lighter than it looked, and then shouted loudly.

The running team slowed down, and the well-trained cavalry quickly changed the formation to widen the array. At the same time, the one-handed crossbow that had been wound was removed from the fixed frame, and the fixed bolt was opened and then looked up and forward.

Although the range of this crossbow is only a few dozen steps, it is also much longer than the slashing distance of the junior practitioner with the sword. It should be able to play some role, right?

Some uneasy generals raised their long swords out of their sheaths, and when the demon approached the range, they slashed abruptly. Suddenly, there was a continuous sound of three arrows, and hundreds of sharp crossbow arrows gathered towards Jiang Qingfeng.

Jiang Qing was still able to deal with the relatively rapid speed, his cloak deformed slightly, his flying height suddenly rose up, and after avoiding the covering blow, several bottles were shaken off his body.

The strands of vitality accurately act on the fragile bottles and cans. When the container is broken, the elemental substances mix with the vitality to trigger several reactions, and a gust of wind suddenly takes shape and blows towards the cavalry team.

The terrifying gas that was a hundred times more disgusting than the things of reincarnation brushed the entire team.

The smell of hell, even if it only lasted a few breaths, made everyone scream like collapse.

It is also thanks to the cavalry who rely on the elite as the main generals, and have excellent training ability. Actually, none of them panicked and confused their hands and feet. Those with advanced skills like generals only blinked and held their breath.

But their horses were obviously not so well-trained. All sorts of people rushed around and turned around, and the whole team was in a mess.

Riding on the chaos when the sense organs were greatly stimulated and no one could respond in time, Jiang Qing who swept above seized the opportunity to aim the package at hand and then threw it down.

After letting go of his burden, Jiang Qing ignored the angry shouts of the generals below and the slashing air, and as soon as the cloak exploded, two beams of light rose rapidly toward the sky.

The package containing a large amount of material and vitality shattered in the air, and the dazzling light and flames swept in all directions like a wave.

Hovering and rising in the high-speed surging hot air, Jiang Qing watched the struggling figures in the sea of fire, muttering and nodding in his heart.

It’s a pity that the technology is not good enough, so it can only be made into incendiary bombs instead of bombs. It would be better if you can add explosions and shrapnel and make remote detonation or landmines…

The special incendiary bomb, which accelerated the combustion process countless times under the stimulation of vitality, quickly ran out of fuel, but the high temperature that was several times higher than expected also caused a power far beyond natural combustion.

In theory, it is impossible for ordinary creatures to survive this temperature, but Jiang Qing frowned slightly after seeing the situation clearly.

The general is still alive.

Under the protection of the hazy armor, he just rushed out of the fire after the attack came. Although it looks like he has suffered a lot of burns and has difficulty breathing now, he can still struggle for a while and continue to stagger to escape. .

Jiang Qing sighed without knowing whether he was happy or regretful, and fell to the position of the general below.
