Chapter 421: The Classic of Mountains and Seas is a Recipe
"Sorry, sorry, my cat is eating this piece, it's a little bit..."
Ji Ruo apologized with a wry smile.
Luo Qian also squatted in front of Li Wenchuan with a serious face, bowed and said: "I'm sorry!"
Li Wenchuan: “…”
He was almost eaten by a cat just now...
He was deeply troubled by his inner demons and wanted to kill these guys in front of him, but——
After looking at the Xingyiquan that the two people in front of him had become familiar with, Li Wenchuan quietly gave up this idea.
He doesn't know any martial arts yet, so if he gets mad he'll just get beaten.
Of the two men in front of him, one was extremely strong, and the other had just broken through to the Golden Body Realm. Moreover, his momentum was so great, and his artistic conception was so strong that Li Wenchuan had never heard of it before.
The inner demon is reckless, but it is not a fool. When it is time to be afraid, it will still be very afraid.
He is not exposed now, he just needs to be cautious and wait for Xingyiquan to return to him, then...
Li Wenchuan had a good idea.
However, Xingyiquan glanced at him, then suddenly raised his head and said to Ji Ruo: "You said before that you could help my original body resolve the inner demon. He was almost eaten by your cat just now, and now the inner demon is even stronger.
I have shown you all that I have learned, and I will tell you everything you want to know about martial arts.
Now it's time for you to help me."
"Now?"
The plan is to twist the head.
"Right now." Xing Yi Quan said seriously, "You promised me."
"All right."
Ji Ruo patted his butt and stood up.
"Then——"
"Wait!" Li Wenchuan was confused: "What did you say to them when I was unconscious?"
"He told us everything." Liang Shixian said honestly, "He also told us that you have a sister who is about the same age as us, very cute, and has a good personality. If we can help you get rid of your inner demons, he can tell us your sister's contact information... Don't get me wrong, this is the original words of Xingyiquan."
"???"
Li Wenchuan said in disbelief: "Xingyi! You even said this?! Damn it, is it my Xingyi or their Xingyi that you practice? Why are your elbows bent outwards?"
Xingyiquan frowned and said, "It is precisely because I was trained by you over many years that I cannot bear to see you like this."
"No matter what I look like, you can't sell my sister!"
“This is not selling!” Xingyiquan said loudly: “You humans at this age can’t find a partner, don’t you all like blind dates? I didn’t say to give your sister to them, I just give them a chance to get to know each other, just like a blind date… They are so outstanding, at this age they can become Xingxuan realm or even Jinshen realm warriors, and they have trained their martial arts into martial arts supernatural powers. It’s just a blind date, your sister won’t suffer any loss…”
"My sister is only eighteen!"
Ji Ruo curled her lips: "You talk as if everyone is not eighteen years old."
"you--"
Without waiting for Li Wenchuan to finish, Xingyiquan jumped up and slapped Li Wenchuan in the face, frowning and saying, "Do you still remember how you trained me?
How arrogant you were back then, and you were determined to create a new Xingyiquan. No one was optimistic about you, and everyone laughed at you and ridiculed you.
But you, you practiced hard, and with your own talent and unique understanding of martial arts, you put your achievements in front of everyone and shut their mouths!
But look at what you look like now?
You are troubled by your inner demons without knowing it. You have already been able to circulate your inner breath in the Xingxuan Realm, but you are afraid to even go into the water because of the shadow of your childhood!
Even the inner demon is worse!
Are you really qualified to rule me?"
Li Wenchuan opened his mouth.
"Yes, I was cultivated by you bit by bit, but so what? You have pride, but I don't?
Don't forget who I am. I am a new martial art that you created based on the concept of Xingyi combined with the characteristics of the modern era!
If you continue to sink like this, even I will leave you!"
Xingyiquan cursed: "He is only 18 years old, and he has mastered so many martial arts, and even developed martial arts supernatural powers. Look at you, and then look at me! You are almost 30 years old, and the martial arts you have studied hard have not even touched the shadow of perfection!"
Liang Shixian: "...Isn't the last sentence the key point?"
Li Wenchuan mumbled, "I'm only 22 years old..."
"Are you approaching 30? I just want to ask you if you are approaching 30!"
“…”
Li Wenchuan's face turned red after being scolded by Xingyiquan.
Xingyiquan ignored him, clasped his hands together and bowed to Ji Ruo, saying solemnly: "Please!"
"good."
Ji Ruo took a step forward and said, "Then I'll start. Are you ready?"
Li Wenchuan nodded silently: "Get ready..."
"Then go!"
Ji Ruo grabbed Li Wenchuan by the collar, swung him hard, and threw him directly into the surging river behind him.
"???"
Li Wenchuan was shocked and said, "What are you doing? Aren't you here to help me get rid of my inner demons? I can't swim!"
"The best way to defeat fear is to face it! Come on! Oli go!"
"You old man... grunt grunt~ help me... grunt grunt~"
Li Wenchuan was in ups and downs.
Seeing this situation, Xingyiquan also panicked.
"Is this your way of getting rid of your inner demons?! If he could face it, he would have faced it long ago! Hurry up and rescue him!"
"Don't worry."
Ji Ruo was very calm. He raised his hand and pointed, saying calmly, "Disaster takes shape."
In an instant, the water in the rivers that surrounded Li Wenchuan, as well as the splashes of water hit by Li Wenchuan's struggle, all rose into the air and condensed.
It transformed into a pure water monster with a transparent body and a hideous appearance.
Li Wenchuan looked at this pure water monster, and his fear reached its peak. He almost fainted from fear.
"Almost."
Ji Ruo patted Xing Yi Quan's head and said, "Go, go and help him defeat his fear. Now his fear can be hit."
The Xingyiquan disciples were stunned and finally understood Ji Ruo's intention.
He then apologized and thanked them, then jumped up to fight alongside Li Wenchuan.
Liang Shixian asked from the side: "Ji Ruo, is this the method you learned from those Buddhist crystals?"
"That's about right."
Ji Ruo shrugged, "Not entirely. The Dharma Crystal only allowed me to comprehend a method of mind control, which is the one you have seen before, squad leader.
I have read Gu Shaoxuan's "Hell and Rebirth Sutra" on Baisui Mountain in Babaozhai before, but I never practiced it and failed to form a specific martial arts villain.
But I still know some of the techniques and concepts.
A simple method of mind control is too simplistic, so I will use this method as a basis and combine it with some concepts from the Hell Rebirth Sutra...
You have seen the effect, it can temporarily give some basic intelligence to inanimate objects, allowing them to take shape."
Gu Shaoxuan is also a martial arts genius. He learned the Hell and Rebirth Sutra from an ancient relic when he was searching for a way to resurrect his brother abroad.
That is a scripture.
It is carved on the mountain wall, and some of the content has become blurred due to the erosion of time.
Not only that, after Gu Shaoxuan joined Daxia's ghost infrastructure industry in ghost form, he also memorized the scripture.
At first glance, it appears to be just an ordinary passage of scripture.
A closer look also makes it seem like it has nothing to do with martial arts.
But it was Gu Shaoxuan who really comprehended such a profound martial art.
This shows how terrifying his talent is.
Unfortunately, at the beginning, he used it in the wrong place.
Liang Shixian was amazed.
"I've always known that you have a great talent for martial arts, but you always manage to refresh my perception."
He said with emotion: "The Qi Meridian Realm broke through just like that, the Xingxuan Realm too, and now even the Jinshen Realm... By the way, Ji Ruo, what exactly is your artistic conception of mountains and rivers?
Although the artistic conception of mountains and rivers is varied and is the unity of everyone's will, belief, spirit and energy, but... why is yours a book?"
"Well..." Ji Ruo smiled and said, "My artistic conception of mountains and rivers is called Shan Hai Jing."
"Classic of Mountains and Seas?"
Liang Shixian was stunned for a moment: "Is it the ancient sacred book, Shan Hai Jing, which was lost at the beginning of the catastrophe thousands of years ago?"
"No." Ji Ruo shook his head slightly: "The Classic of Mountains and Seas records a lot of things, including astronomy, geography, the rise and fall of humanities, and everything in between.
This is just my version. The full name should be "The Book of Burning Mountains and Boiling Seas". In essence, you can think of it as a recipe book..."
As he spoke, Ji Ruo spread out his "Classic of Mountains and Seas" in front of Liang Shixian and said, "If you are interested, squad leader, you can take a look at it. Maybe you can gain some insights from it."
"Um."
Liang Shixian nodded.
The artistic conception of mountains and rivers is one of the most important things for a warrior. It almost includes everything the warrior has learned so far. It is relatively private and is generally not shown to others.
But Liang Shixian and Ji Ruo no longer need to care about this relationship.
and--
"Why are all the records about food..."
Ji Ruo smiled and said, "So I said, this is originally a recipe book. Burning mountains and boiling seas, isn't it just using heaven and earth as kitchen utensils to cook?"
"No, why is your martial arts realm like this? Isn't this... too down-to-earth?"
"Is this bad?"
Ji Ruo smiled and asked, "Only by eating and drinking well can we grow up healthily. People eat to live, but people don't live to eat. The current martial arts only appeared after the demons were rampant. In the final analysis, it is just a means to eat."
Liang Shixian was in deep thought.
"That's really your style."
"Really?" Ji Ruo chuckled.
Liang Shixian looked at Ji Ruo deeply. What he didn't say was that Ji Ruo's martial arts realm, although seemingly simple, was actually extremely profound. Moreover, it seemed that it could be evolved?
Looking at this thick Classic of Mountains and Seas, most of it is blank, as if waiting for Ji Ruo to write something.
only……
"Why do you say that everything is good for health?"
Ji Ruo spread his hands and said, "I am the God of Cooking. I can cook monsters that taste bad to a certain extent.
There are a lot of edible things for the demon and monster races, especially the demon race. If they are cooked with special techniques, the eater may gain some special abilities.
For example, clear hearing and eyesight, beast frenzy, increased strength, purified blood... and so on.
There are so many messy abilities, but it all comes down to one sentence: keep fit.
I remember it this way just to save trouble."
Liang Shixian: "...The last sentence is the key point, right?"
Ji Ruo did not refute it, and nodded, "You can understand it that way."
"I don't know when I can establish my own path."
Liang Shixian suddenly asked with some anticipation: "Ji Ruo, do you have any experience in this?"
Ji Ruo tilted his head and thought for a while, then said, "As for experience, I do have a little bit, but if you want to clarify your own path, squad leader, I already have a rough idea, and I estimate that it will probably work."
"oh?"
Liang Shixian's eyes lit up: "What method? Tell me quickly!"
"It's like this..."
…………
At the same time, on the other side.
Gu Xingzhou was caught in a tough battle.
As the former director of the Education Department, Gu Xingzhou is still very well-known. Also, because he entered the martial arts tournament after reaching the self-destruction realm, there is a suspicion of bullying the weak. Therefore, most of the sect disciples have seen Gu Xingzhou's information.
In addition to Gu Xingzhou, there are other Great Xia warriors who have entered the martial arts conference at the level of self-destruction. All major sects have issued orders that if they encounter these people in the secret realm, they must work together to eliminate them as quickly as possible.
Therefore, ancient Xingzhou was in trouble.
In the wilderness, Gu Xingzhou used the Tianbei Palm and Jinghong Dun to fight against dozens of sect disciples alone.
Even though he was at a slight disadvantage, he was not defeated - he had one more martial art than the others, and was good at both attack and movement.
But even so, he couldn't hold on for long.
"Is the breakthrough going to happen here?"
Gu Xingzhou gritted his teeth and prepared to break through.
Tianbei Zhang said coldly: "No! Don't forget, because your descendant has also experienced star tribulation after breaking through the Golden Body Realm.
In your current state, if you force a breakthrough, even if those sect disciples don't cause trouble, the probability of you surviving the star tribulation is extremely small.
What's more, these people are so much younger than you, it's just that they have the advantage in numbers and martial arts... At their age, you can completely make up for it with your experience.
This is not a dead end, this is a breakthrough!"
Jing Hongdun nodded and said, "The Heavenly Stele Palm is right. You can't break through now. We have taught you so much. Please don't embarrass us!"
Gu Xingzhou heard this, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay!"
Jing Hongdun continued, "Don't be so timid. Have you forgotten what I taught you before? You can fight with just your body skills!
I taught you the method, you should develop it yourself. After all, you are the former Director of the Education Department, how can you not apply such a simple method?"
"I..." Gu Xingzhou was speechless, recalling what the two previous martial arts had taught him. His mind raced as he continued to deduce and look for a way out of the impasse.
"You still want to be sanctified? If you can only think ahead and behind, what kind of warrior are you? Don't get entangled, just do it when you think of it, and adapt to the situation!"
The two martial arts constantly instilled ideas into Gu Xingzhou. Theoretically, they were a part of Gu Xingzhou, a hidden part of Gu Xingzhou's character. Therefore, their ideas were actually Gu Xingzhou's own ideas.
Gu Xingzhou is now facing his subconscious mind. Until now, he has not been able to completely let go of that identity.
“There are so many people.”
Suddenly, an unfamiliar voice sounded, followed by wild laughter: "That's perfect, let's all be nourishment for me!"
"Shadow clone, come on!"
Gu Xingzhou: “???”
What shadow clone?!
What if Ji Ruo comes?
The sound is wrong!
Gu Xingzhou looked in the direction of the sound and saw a familiar black shadow, but it was not a familiar person.
"Ha! The former director of Da Xia's Education Department is also here. God is really helping me! After I eliminate you, I will return to my sect after this martial arts competition and will be rewarded!"
