Chapter 1009 First World
Luoshui boxing has a very legendary origin. According to Luo Xu, there is a river in Tianmo Ridge called "LuoShui".
There is a story circulating in the fishing village by the Luoshui River:
It is said that there was no river in that land. Until one night, the stars in the sky shone, and a Ganges River fell from the sky and fell to the ground, thus turning into a river, which was later Luoshui.
It was when Luo Xu was passing by Luoshui on a boat, he saw the stars reflected on the water and comprehended the Luoshui boxing technique.
In addition, Luo Xu also reminded Zhang Ruochen that if he had the chance, he would definitely go back to Tianmo Ridge and go to Luoshui in person.
Luo Xu attached great importance to Zhang Ruochen and believed that he had a high understanding and might not be able to understand something different from Luoshui.
"That Luo River must be not simple, and it is very likely that it really landed from the sky." Zhang Ruochen said.
Luo Xu raised his head, looked up at the quiet and vast starry sky, and showed a meditation look, saying, "The universe is vast and endless. In addition to the Kunlun Realm, there must be other great realms that can be compared with the Kunlun Realm, and even larger than the Kunlun Realm. Not necessarily, Luoshui is the Taoist Dharma delivered by a great creature in the universe."
Luo Xu stood up, a sense of ethereal and dusty temperament emanated from his body, and said with a smile: "In the future, if I can achieve the position of the Great Saint, I must go to the depths of the starry sky to see if there is any margin in the universe."
Zhang Ruochen stared at Luo Xu and nodded secretly.
Just from his words and deeds, we can see that Luo Xu must be a broad-minded person. The things he pursues are completely different from other monks.
Even Zhang Ruochen asked himself silently: "Where should I go after seeking revenge on Chi Yao?"
In the end, he was a little confused and his mind was blank.
In the next day and night, Luo Xu passed all the thirty-six styles of Luoshui boxing to Zhang Ruochen and gave him a boxing book.
Zhang Ruochen had long known the true meaning of Luoshui boxing, and his cultivation speed was naturally extremely fast. He had learned it well just this day.
Of course, Luo Xu would not be able to give him any more advice in the future. He could only practice by himself based on the boxing brochure.
On this day, the blue wooden boat did not continue sailing, but stopped to the dock.
Chu Siyuan took the lead in landing to investigate the terrain, and at the same time, he used the Sky Eye to conduct in-depth research, which seemed extremely serious.
“It’s here.”
Chu Siyuan said as if he had made a certain decision: "This is the intersection of six spiritual veins, which is enough to support the consumption of the spiritual energy of the heaven and earth in the "Seven Life and Seven Death Map".
Zhang Ruochen was a little confused and said, "Since it is the intersection of six spiritual veins, why is the spiritual energy of heaven and earth not particularly rich, and there are no major sects entrenched nearby."
Chu Siyuan stared at Zhang Ruochen lightly, raised his chin, and said arrogantly: "Six spiritual veins flow deep underground, and the depth of ordinary spiritual power cannot be observed by the semi-saints. Moreover, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is concentrated in the underground and has not been transmitted to the ground at all. I used a shocking method to lure out the spiritual energy of heaven and earth."
Immediately, Chu Siyuan took out a brush the size of a broom, used a very special ink, and drew a circle with a diameter of three meters on the ground.
Then he put away his brush and started waiting.
"it's over?"
Zhang Ruochen held his chin and stared at the rather regular circle on the ground. He always felt that Chu Siyuan's shocking methods were not very exquisite and seemed too casual.
Chu Siyuan seemed to see what Zhang Ruochen thought, blew his beard and said, "The way is simple."
Half an hour later, white mist really rose in the circle.
That's not...fog.
But the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
You should know that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has always been colorless and invisible. Only when the concentration reaches the level of liquefaction will it become a fog state.
Chu Siyuan placed the "Seven Life and Seven Death Picture" in the center of the circle, and asked Zhang Ruochen and Shi Meiren to walk into the circle, using the scroll as the boundary, and sat opposite each other.
"The "Seven Life and Seven Death Map" can only be opened every seventy years. You must cherish this opportunity. Once you fail... there will be no second chance."
Obviously, using "Seven Life and Seven Death Pictures" is a rather extravagant act, and Chu Siyuan is unwilling to use it on Shi Meiren and Zhang Ruochen for the second time.
Chu Siyuan warned again, saying, "There are some unpredictable dangers in the picture scroll. As a guide, you must always pay attention to this. Otherwise, you two may never wake up again."
Chu Siyuan glared at Zhang Ruochen, then sat cross-legged on the outside of the circle, pushed his palms forward, and injected his mental power into the "Seven Life and Seven Death Map".
"Wow—"
A soul shadow flew out from Zhang Ruochen and Shi Meiren, which condensed into two light spots, fell into the scroll and disappeared.
Their bodies were still sitting cross-legged in the circle, their eyes closed as if they were petrified.
Luo Shuihan stared in the direction of the circle, his eyebrows slightly frowned, and asked, "Zhang Ruochen and Gongzhu Ling experienced seven-generation entanglements in the picture scroll. Many things will definitely happen, leaving many memories. Once he leaves the picture scroll, will he not be able to distinguish between reality and illusion?"
Luo Xu said: "Zhang Ruochen and Ling Feiyu are not ordinary people, and this will not happen. For them, this is an opportunity to temper their spiritual will. Once they successfully complete the seventh generation, they will undergo a huge change. The only thing is that it is worth worrying about."
"Which point?" Luo Shuihan asked.
Luo Xu smiled, shook his head gently, and did not say it out.
Before Zhang Ruochen's eyes were dark. When he opened his eyes again, he actually appeared in the middle of a busy street.
“Buy candied haws.”
"Buy a knife and buy a peerless treasure knife, it only costs nine taels of silver."
...
People are coming and going around, bustling and lively, and it is a completely unfamiliar country.
"This is the illusory world in "Seven Life and Seven Deaths"? It seems that there is no difference between it and the real world."
Zhang Ruochen could feel that he still had a flesh and blood body, with a very real sense of vision, hearing, smell and touch.
"My beauty should have been born in this world, right?"
Zhang Ruochen closed his eyes and soon found the location of Meiren Shi.
This is a very strange feeling. No matter how far she is, Zhang Ruochen can find her.
Zhang Ruochen did not go to find Shi Meiren immediately, but went to a tavern and ordered a table of good wine and food, and ate it without any haste.
Whether in the previous life or this life, Zhang Ruochen spent most of his time practicing and rarely did some ordinary things.
Now, Zhang Ruochen is preparing to do everything he hasn't done before and experience the worldly ways. He is not only experiencing the Tao of heaven and earth, but also harnessing his state of mind and will.
At noon, there were sounds of gongs and cheers on the streets.
It turned out that good news came from the palace that the queen gave birth to a little princess.
When the little princess was born, purple air was filled with lightning and lightning was passing by. Everyone thought that the little princess was a god descending to earth.
Only Zhang Ruochen knew that the little princess was actually the first life of Mei Meiren.
Time passes by, and sixteen years will soon pass.
Over the past sixteen years, Zhang Ruochen has done a lot of things, working as a coachman for wealthy families, a woodcutter, a fisherman, and a lot of ordinary things, completely treating himself as an ordinary person.
However, this kingdom is not so peaceful.
In this year, the four adjacent kingdoms gathered their troops to destroy this prosperous country and at the same time, they captured the royal city.
Hundreds of thousands of enemy troops entered the palace and killed her father and in front of the little princess, indignant of her mother.
Originally, the little princess who lived a luxurious life and was loved by thousands of people immediately fell into the abyss of darkness and lost everything.
It was also on this day that Zhang Ruochen entered the palace and took her away from hundreds of thousands of troops.
The little princess was obviously suffering a severe mental blow, her eyes were red and swollen, and she was in a dull state, like a puppet, following Zhang Ruochen.
A month later, her mental state recovered a little, and she took the initiative to come to Zhang Ruochen and said, "Can I take you as my teacher?"
A month ago, Zhang Ruochen showed his power in the palace and killed hundreds of thousands of troops in fear.
The little princess knew that Zhang Ruochen was a peerless strong man and wanted to take him as her teacher, gain the same powerful force as him, avenge his parents and the people of the entire country.
Zhang Ruochen stood on the edge of the undulating cliff with his hands on his back, with a very elegant temperament on his body. He smiled and said to himself: "Sure enough, the huge hatred of the country and the family can inspire the will in her heart."
The little princess didn't know what Zhang Ruochen meant, so she immediately knelt on the ground and begged hard, hoping that Zhang Ruochen could accept her as her disciple and pass on her swordsmanship.
Zhang Ruochen did not agree immediately, and was about to continue to sharpen her, saying, "There are hundreds of thousands of enemy troops that have attacked the palace. Go and kill one of them, bring his head back, and I will accept you as my disciple."
"But, I...I haven't practiced swordsmanship and can't kill them at all. Moreover, I've never killed anyone..."
The little princess was very frightened and timid.
"You are so weak, why should I accept you as my disciple?"
Zhang Ruochen's eyes were very strict and glared at him, scaring the little princess to shrink into a ball and tremble.
In the end, the little princess left alone and walked towards the royal city.
Half a month later, she limped back with a bloody head and handed the head to Zhang Ruochen.
There were dozens of hideous scars on her face, which was originally stunning, and her right leg was broken, like a beggar.
No one could recognize that she was once the most beautiful little princess in this kingdom.
In order to avenge and to become a disciple, the little princess suffered a lot and made great efforts.
"How did you kill him?" Zhang Ruochen asked.
The little princess said in a hoarse voice: "As long as one person dares to fight to the death, it is actually not difficult to kill another person."
Since she passed the test, Zhang Ruochen naturally accepted her as a disciple and taught her the swordsmanship.
It took ten years for the little princess's sword technique, Mahayana, to break into four kingdoms alone, killing all the original enemies.
After revenge, when she went to look for her master again, she found that her master disappeared without a trace as if it had evaporated from the world.
The little princess was very disappointed and felt confused. Without the guidance of her master, she had no idea what to pursue next?
In the end, she did not restore her country, but chose to continue practicing sword skills, traveling around the world, searching for the traces of her master everywhere.
A hundred years later, the little princess eventually died of old age.
When she was dying, she still recited the master's name and felt very unwilling to accept it.
A lifelong wish is just to see your master again.
But the little princess didn't know that her master had always been by her side.
It was not until she died that Zhang Ruochen arrived at her grave and lit a stick of incense.
At this moment, Zhang Ruochen clearly felt that his mental power and mental state had a significant improvement, and said to himself: "When experiencing seven lifetimes, my mental strength should be able to be improved to an extremely high level. I wonder if I can become a sanctified mental power?"
