Chapter 107 The road to becoming a God of War is lonely and bumpy, boy, don’t fall behind
When the mist is thick and the fairy spirit is lingering.
Zhao Duan "opened" his eyes and found that he had left the palace and appeared in a desert.
Next to her is no longer the fairy-like empress, but her ancestor - the founding ancestor of Dayu, wrapped in felt and a dirty white robe, sitting cross-legged on the sand dunes.
On the burly body is a rough face covered with wind and frost. At this moment, the morning light is faint in the desert, and the sky is getting brighter.
Taizu Dayu, dressed as a martial artist, opened his eyes and glanced at him:
"Follow me."
Zhao Duan wailed, got up, and complained:
"I know, let's go. I've known how to walk all day long. Who can walk past you?"
From being initiated by a beautiful woman to being pulled by a rough man and being trained in the wild, it only takes a moment.
It's still that desert.
During these days, Taizu Dayu would occasionally say a few words, but he still couldn't communicate.
Zhao Duan, on the other hand, often complained because the trek was too boring, and today was no exception: "Hey, Old Xu, do you know what I was doing outside just now? You must not have imagined it."
He winked and said:
"My great-great-granddaughter gave me the initiation in person.
Tsk, tsk, tsk, you think it’s strange. Your granddaughter is so beautiful, but I think you are just average in appearance. Or is it true that the genetic improvement of the royal family from generation to generation in the past six hundred years has such a great effect? "
After testing for so long, plus insidious discussions with Eunuch Hai, Zhao Duan has determined:
Different offerings and visualizations of Taizu have no intersection with each other.
Therefore, he spoke a lot more freely.
"Old Xu" turned a deaf ear to his insistence and continued to move forward with determination.
The desert morning is desolate and lonely.
Temperatures will range from cold, rising a little, to scorching hot.
However, Zhao Duan also discovered that after such a long journey, they were gradually walking out of the desert.
For example, right now, the land under his feet has gradually changed from a "sand sea" filled with yellow sand to a Gobi desert, and scattered plants can also be seen.
The wild camel held by the hand would occasionally stretch its neck disobediently.
Go and eat those strong, withered grasses that seem to be floating on the Gobi sand, but in fact their roots are deeply rooted in the sand.
Yes!
Zhao Duan picked up a wild camel!
Probably when he was camping one night, he tried to ignite the dead branches he picked up to attract them.
After having camels, the two hard-working warriors could occasionally follow the camels to find an oasis in the desert to rest.
Zhao Duan discovered that the deserts in this world were different from those in his previous life, and some strange plants would grow there.
For example, a kind of "bamboo" that grows in the desert can be made into a bamboo tube by pulling out the thorns on the outside and cutting it down to hold water.
The camel he named "Ono" would be carried on the back. In addition to the backpacks carrying two people, it was also covered with a string of bamboo tubes.
When the camel steps, the string of bamboo tubes collide with each other, making a sound like music.
Zhao Duan was thinking about the situation in the real world when Empress Dayu gave him the initiation, and he seemed absent-minded during today's practice.
Before I knew it, it was night again in the desert.
Zhao Duan started to set up camp in a familiar place.
From the backpack, take out the pancake that will appear out of thin air every time it is eaten.
Make a fire and cook.
After meal.
Above our heads is the dazzling Milky Way, which stretches from east to west.
However, this time, Emperor Taizu said:
"We are almost out of the desert."
Zhao Duan and the camel named "Xiaoye" who was lying on the ground raised their heads at the same time, staring at him with confused expressions.
I was deeply shocked that he could say such a long sentence in one breath.
"Old Xu, what did you say?" Zhao Duan was not sleepy anymore.
The camel next to him snorted.
Emperor Taizu sat cross-legged on the Gobi Desert, looked up at the Milky Way in the sky, and said:
"What have you learned during this period of time?"
Zhao Duan fell into deep thought:
"To be honest, I feel like I have learned nothing except suffering."
Emperor Taizu ignored him and said:
"Very good, it seems that you have a good understanding. Yes, your energy and spirit have been sharpened. The path of martial arts is often mistakenly believed by the world to be about strength, physique, and martial arts... But what they say is wrong. "
No... are you able to talk to me or are you talking to yourself... Zhao Duan has never been sure about this.
Emperor Taizu said:
"The ultimate goal of a martial artist is not in the body, but in a spirit of spirit. It is said that after refining the body, you should refine the spirit. Cleaning the marrow and reborn through the I Ching can make your body perfect, but if you want to reach the top of the martial arts, you need to refine your spirit. The tempering of Qi Shen is the most important thing.”
Zhao Duan was stunned, not because of the other party's "spirited" words, but because...
During the day, he just said that Xu Zhenguan cleansed his marrow from the I Ching.
As a result, Emperor Taizu mentioned this issue at this time.
Coincidence?
Or can the other party really understand what you are saying?
"So, Lao Xu, what you are saying is that you are dragging me to trek in the desert during these days just to sharpen my energy?"
Zhao Duan said:
"You said you are almost out of the desert, does that mean that your energy and spirit have been polished? But I don't feel any changes."
Emperor Taizu said: "Sun Gong is a soldier, but he doesn't know how to enter the country."
Zhao Duan suddenly said:
"Old Xu, what you mean is that I have made a little progress every day, but because it is small and gradual, I don't feel that I am strong. But in fact, my energy and spirit are much stronger than at the beginning?"
Emperor Taizu still ignored him, suddenly stood up and said:
"Look carefully, I will only practice once."
At this moment, Old Xu stood erect under the starry sky, and his aura seemed to be integrated with the heaven and earth:
"This palm is called 'Galaxy Upside Down'."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lao Xu struck out with a palm.
In an instant, the stars in the sky trembled, turned into a meteor shower, and fell towards the earth.
The night also rolls back like the tide.
Zhao Duan's eyes widened in shock, and the camel lying beside him also opened his mouth wide, revealing his big back molars.
It's dawn.
On the Gobi Desert, sporadic snowflakes suddenly fell.
Zhao Duan looked far into the distance and found the end of the Gobi, the horizon where the earth and the sky meet.
A snowfield appeared.
"Let's go," Lao Xu carried his luggage, suddenly raised his hand and slapped the camel's butt hard.
Ono neighed, turned around reluctantly, and ran away towards the desert behind the two of them.
"It can't go the rest of the way." Old Xu seemed to explain, and walked towards the snowy field:
"The road to becoming a God of War is lonely and bumpy. Boy, don't fall behind."
Zhao Duan stared blankly at Ono heading west.
He turned his head and looked at Taizu Dayu who was heading northeast.
My mind was filled with the trick "Galaxy Hanging Upside Down".
With one strike, the night will retreat eighty thousand miles.
For some reason, he suddenly felt that it didn't matter whether Taizu Dayu had "spiritual wisdom" or not.
The important thing is that there was a master who accompanied him on this thousand-mile journey.
"Old Xu, wait for me!"
Zhao Duan shouted and chased after him.
Suddenly, the front was blurry at first, then clear.
He opened his eyes and found that he was back in "reality".
…
Zhao Duan was still sitting in Tangquan Palace, but it was already bright at some point.
The medicinal power of the entire pool was almost exhausted, and dirty blood discharged from the pores floated on the water.
He turned around and found that Xu Zhenguan was no longer behind him.
Only his scattered clothes remained.
He actually meditated for a whole night, and after completing the initiation for him, the empress left quietly.
"The night has passed..."
Zhao Duan was stunned and tried to stand up, only to feel that his muscles and bones had never felt more relaxed.
The transportation of Qi is several times smoother than before.
Although the realm has not improved, the real combat power has increased a lot.
He raised his hand to push away the dirt, and in the clear spring water, he saw his reborn self.
"My appearance has risen to another level..."
Zhao Duan thought for a moment, then suddenly opened the five fingers of his right hand and pressed forward.
"Woo-"
Suddenly a wind blew up in the garden, causing wrinkles on the surface of the thirty-six spring pools and the rustling of the grass and trees.
"The galaxy is upside down..."
Zhao Duan murmured, realizing that he had mastered a new martial art.
Moreover, it is a dual martial skill that not only attacks the physical body, but also destroys the soul.
"Right..."
Zhao Duan suddenly remembered something, put his hand on his lower back, and pulled out a silver needle.
Suddenly, Xiao Zhao, who had been wilting all night, suddenly raised his head and looked better than before.
"Hiss, the rebirth is quite impressive."
…
A few moments later, Zhao Duan put on his clothes and left Tangquan Palace.
A group of palace servants who had been waiting outside all night finally came in and began cleaning the polluted hot springs.
A group of little palace maids whispered:
"Yeah, there are splashes everywhere on the shore."
"This pool is so dirty. There's so much blood. It's so scary."
"It must have been a lot of trouble. Didn't you hear it? Mr. Zhao screamed for a long time last night..."
"That's right. After His Majesty left, he still called Lao Xu in his dream... What a strange title."
The entrance of the courtyard.
Mo Zhaorong, who was wearing a female official's robe and a wingless black gauze on his head, appeared at some point. His face was very ugly and he scolded: "What are you muttering about? Why don't you wash the whole yard quickly?"
The maids were as silent as cicadas, not daring to say a word.
Mochou had no expression on his face, turned around and left, frowning:
"Old Xu?"
She doesn't understand.
…
…
When Zhao Duan walked out of the palace, it was already broad daylight.
No one picked him up outside the palace, so he had no choice but to open his legs and walk home.
He was not in a hurry to go to the Yamen, and had not eaten a decent meal for two consecutive times. He was a little hungry and panicked at the moment. He just wanted to go home and have a good meal, and then have a good sleep——
Initiation meditation cannot replace sleep, at least not in the mortal realm.
Following a familiar route, Zhao Duan soon arrived at a street lined with shops and vendors.
Then, the aroma of mutton soup cakes wafting in the air aroused the gluttons.
"Just eat outside."
Zhao Duan stepped forward, entered the soup cake shop, and greeted:
"Here comes a big bowl of haggis soup and five pancakes."
As he spoke, he moved his buttocks and sat directly on the bench under the awning of the shop.
Immediately, I suddenly felt a strong sense of familiarity.
It seems...he was also here one night a few days ago...
Suddenly, an old hearty laughter came.
Zhao Duan turned his head numbly and saw a tall old man with a long beard and eyebrows sitting opposite him.
Zhang Yanyi looked at him with a smile.
Zhao Duan looked at him as if he had seen a ghost:
"You...you..."
The Heavenly Master smiled and said, "Little friend, we meet again."
…
Thank you to the ghost doctor for your 10,000-point reward for your support! !
It's a bit stuck, so the update may be a little late tomorrow.
