Uplifting Journey

At a hidden entrance of the underground labyrinth extending in all directions, Jiang Qing stretched out his hand into the sunlight beyond the shadow of the boulder, carefully experiencing and recording the changes in himself under the sunlight.

"I heard that in some places with strange 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 pale black projection directly under his hand that was printed by the sunlight, Jiang Qing's mouth slightly raised when he remembered some information.

In Sun Lang's mouth, this continent where all living beings flourish is called Qiankun, and it seems to be a flat land extending infinitely in all directions, but in fact, people's sight and the land itself are bent by invisible forces.

If you choose a direction to move forward at random, you will walk higher and higher without knowing it, and finally circle around your head, and then walk back to the original place from the direction behind you.

The earth is like a hollow sphere. People live on the inner side of the spherical shell. The shell of the earth is not known how thick it is. The center of the hollow sphere is the sun and the moon that change the state of yin and yang every day.

It's just that this land is too vast, and ordinary people can't walk through a corner of it in their entire lives. There are some curious seniors in the practice world who spent a lot of time completing the feat of circumnavigating the world.

I don't know why, even Sun Lang, a novice practitioner, is a little skeptical of the common sense popularized by these masters, but Jiang Qing, a country boy who heard it for the first time, easily accepts the curvature of the earth and the change of the direction of gravity, which are abstractions beyond the scope of ordinary people's understanding After verifying the information and combining some details in life experience, I am even more convinced.

"Sunlight erosion has reached the limit. This time, if you don't take the initiative to resist, you will be much better than the last experiment. If you get some shelter, you should be able to move freely during the day."

Jiang Qing, who lost his physical strength to a certain extent, retracted his hand under the sun, feeling extremely uncomfortable. Without paper and pen, his brain automatically sorted out the complicated and vague body changes, which served as the data basis for later analysis.

Walking towards the depths of the underground labyrinth that he had built and repaired little by little on the basis of the natural cave, Jiang Qing's body trembled slightly as he walked, his bones and muscles were sharpened in resonance, stimulating the vitality potential of this monster's body bit by bit. .

After walking for a long time in this way, Jiang Qing came to a clean and orderly square room with a lot of bottles and cans, and Jiang Qing relaxed, and the feeling of weakness caused by the sun disappeared without a trace.

The body tremors along the way were sorted out by Jiang Qing after acquiring relevant basic knowledge, combining human body cognition and medical health preservation techniques. It is a physical exercise method that can be performed at any time.

Because the qi that constitutes everything in this world will react 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 after practicing health preservation techniques randomly. feeling.

Because of this, the practice world in this world can be said to be full of flowers. There are people taking all kinds of practice paths, and the practice theories and methods are even more inconsistent, and there is no unified understanding at all.

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

In addition to the four major stages of practice that everyone recognizes: Refining Qi, Refining Qi to Transform God, Refining God to Return to the Void, and Refining the Void to Combine Dao, all practitioners do their own things. body.

Some extreme sects even think that only their own path is correct, and all practitioners of other paths are heretics.

On the basis of this environment, there are more ways to practice. The most common ways to get started are Daoyin, qi circulation, sitting and forgetting, visualization, external alchemy, etc., or one of them, or a combination of several.

Jiang Qing practiced Qi Sensing before his death, which belongs to the category of Daoyin, that is, through the complex changes of breathing and body movements to adjust one's own life state and obtain the Qi of life.

However, after becoming a demon, Jiang Qing's physique has undergone many changes, and many things cannot be used.

Jiang Qing, who may be curious about the serious cultivation of the demon body, based on the current accumulated and summarized laws, collected information everywhere, using himself as an experiment, and tossed and designed a new guidance method.

Anyway, monsters are not as fragile as humans, and no matter how complicated their injuries are, they will slowly and automatically recover under the moonlight. It is very convenient to do experiments.

In the end, he really managed to come up with a set. Although this set of guiding methods is rough and crude, it can be practiced by monsters anyway, and it can also restore physical strength and yin energy, and enhance physical strength and body control.

And the experiment just now has proved that if the body is kept in a guiding state all the time, Jiang Qing can also carry out a lot of activities during the day, and the sun can no longer cause obvious damage, which is quite good in terms of results.

In fact, if you add the method of keeping the spirit and meditation to this exercise, and continue to strengthen the natural resentment when the corpse demon was born, the effect of cultivating to become stronger may not be much smaller than devouring creatures.

But Jiang Qing didn't want to do this, even if there were similar methods in the things he stole or robbed, even if the enemy that caused him to become a demon still lived in his induction, he was unwilling to pursue this kind of relationship with cannibalism. The same will lose mental power.

Anyway, he doesn't lack channels to gain power now.

Jiang Qing glanced at the neatly placed bottles and jars of different sizes on the stone platform.

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

Inside those bottles and jars, there are various substances extracted from trees, minerals, oils, etc., and they will produce usable reactions in accordance with fixed laws.

The ability to separate and extract these things is thanks to the knowledge Jiang Qing learned in drug identification and the alchemy recipes contributed by some enthusiastic bandits living in the mountains.

With the help of these substances that can produce wonderful reactions with each other, and the spells recorded on the Five Elements Gate Jade Slip, Jiang Qing has already explored some ways to use the potential power of substances or vitality of different natures.

Although this kind of power is not as good as the magic power of a practitioner who moves with his heart after entering the stage, it is far stronger than the power that Jiang Qing's 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 are all practicing martial arts, they are not real practitioners after all, but ordinary flesh and blood.

Jiang Qing didn't dig out this not-so-small hiding spot with his claws, he knew the power of what he had in hand.

"Daylight is no longer an obstacle. Is it time to take revenge?"

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

Jiang Qing felt extremely conflicted about taking revenge on those generals who slaughtered the village where she grew up.

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

If he follows the plans that come out of his mind, continues to observe and study the law of vitality changes, and finds ways to observe the substances of vitality in detail, the power he controls will definitely increase faster.

In that case, the success rate of revenge will be higher.

But Jiang Qing didn't want to procrastinate any longer.

With more and more information in his mind, and his thinking became wider and deeper, the previously persistent hatred of destroying his family became weaker and weaker, as if revenge was becoming an irrelevant thing , become something not worth wasting effort on.

He was afraid that one day, the remaining resentment in his heart would be replaced and wiped out by another kind of will, and he would treat this matter as a dispensable task to complete casually, or even forget it directly.

"But after the revenge is successful, what will become of me who cut off the last trace of obsession in life?"

The genus of the corpse demon is born with a mouthful of grievances. If the cause and effect are settled along with the grievances, there will probably be very critical changes.

And when I don't know who can take care of my brain, this kind of change may be more violent than I imagined.

Jiang Qing's sense of contradiction lies in this. It seems that no matter how she chooses, she can't change her future that is out of her control.

"I heard that practitioners will encounter heart calamity when they reach a certain threshold. I don't know if the relevant experience methods will be useful in my situation when facing the heavenly demons from outside the territory who don't know where they came from."

On a wide dirt road at the foot of a low hill, a large amount of dust rises like a dragon.

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

The faces of the sparse passers-by on the road changed drastically when they heard the sound, and hurriedly dodged to both sides, fearing that they would be crushed by this rushing army, and their death would be in vain.

This army ran a bit too fast, because the city they were going to was not far away, bathing, delicacies, beauties and other enjoyments were waiting ahead, so they couldn't help being impatient.

The group of black steeds running the fastest and most powerful in the front, the general with the red robe fluttering in the wind and the exquisite armor is 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 his command. If he hadn't lost the last battle, he would continue to be promoted rapidly.

The barracks is behind them in the direction they came from. In theory, they should be stationed there for a long time, and they can't move easily without orders, but no matter what, the barracks are not as comfortable as in a bustling city.

So he used his connections and money every now and then, and used various official business as an excuse to take his soldiers out of the camp and into the city to have a good time, and he almost formed a habit and a pattern.

Today, this rule made his enemies easier. Without the various protections of military camps and cities, monsters who can act during the day will not miss this opportunity again.

"No one else, all familiar faces, very good."

On the top of the hill next to the road, several layers of ice crystals dissipated in front of Jiang Qing's eyes, and he muttered as he picked up the tightly sealed package next to him.

He doesn't intend to fight head-to-head with an army that is good at fighting. It's time to show the true strength accumulated during this period.

After checking all the fixed bits and pieces on her body, Jiang Qing jumped down from the rocky mountain with the heavy package in her arms!

The cloak curled up behind him suddenly unfolded and stretched, expanding into huge flying wings. The cloak and some substances on Jiang Qing's body scattered out, and reacted violently under the penetration of his vitality, releasing the power that could be borrowed steadily.

The picture of power changes together with a series of numerical formulas rolled in Jiang Qing's mind, allowing him to flexibly control the changes in his own Qi, and use the wind and cloak to transform the falling power into gliding speed while fighting against gravity. The army on the run.

Jiang Qing, who was flying by, danced wildly with blood, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He didn't use the mind power of unknown origin that can control kinetic energy, and he was able to fly so smoothly with only the knowledge of airflow movement and a little vitality and external force, which made him feel an indescribable happiness.

The running cavalry noticed the black shadow slanting down in front of them. Ordinary soldiers thought it was some kind of huge flying bird, but the general with strong eyesight had already seen the strange figure clearly.

Where can a practitioner who can fly off the ground come from? No, this strange appearance. Is it a demon? !

The general who realized that the other party came with bad intentions subconsciously touched the armor on his body, which was much lighter than it looked, and then his eyes sharpened and he shouted loudly.

The running team slowed down, and the well-trained cavalry quickly changed their formation to widen the array. At the same time, they removed the one-handed crossbow that had already been stringed from the fixed frame, opened the fixed bolt, and aimed towards the front.

Although the range of this hand crossbow is only a few tens of steps, it is much farther than the distance that a junior practitioner can kill with a sword. It should be able to play some role, right?

Some uneasy generals unsheathed their long swords and raised them high. When the monster approached within range, they made a false slash with the sword. Immediately, there was a string of strings and three crossbow arrows. Hundreds of sharp crossbow bolts gathered towards Jiang Qingfeng.

Jiang Qing was still able to cope with the rapid movement towards each other, his cloak deformed slightly, his flying height suddenly increased, and after avoiding the covering blow, he shook off a few bottles.

Wisps of vitality precisely acted on the fragile bottles and cans. When the container was broken, several types of elemental substances mixed with the vitality to trigger several reactions, and a gust of wind suddenly took shape and blew towards the cavalry team.

The terrifying gas, which is a hundred times more disgusting than the reincarnation of the five grains, brushed over the entire team.

The hellish smell, even if it only lasted for a few breaths, made everyone cry out like a collapse.

It was also thanks to the elite cavalry that the main general relied on, and their training was excellent. None of them panicked and lost their hands and feet because of this.

But their horses obviously didn't have such a good quality. For a while, all kinds of people ran around on their backs, and the whole team was in a mess.

Taking advantage of the chaos when the senses were greatly stimulated and no one could respond in time, Jiang Qing, who flew up, took the opportunity to aim at the package in hand and threw it down.

After throwing down the burden, Jiang Qing ignored the angry shouts of the generals below and the sword slashing from the air, and as soon as the cloak was stretched out, two balls of flames exploded on his body and then rose rapidly towards the sky.

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

Hovering up in the hot air surging at high speed, Jiang Qing watched the figures struggling around in the sea of ​​flames, and nodded inwardly.

It's a pity that the technology is not good enough, so it can only be made into an incendiary bomb instead of a bomb. It would be even better if it can be made into a remote detonation or a landmine with an explosion and shrapnel.

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

Theoretically, it is impossible for ordinary creatures to survive at this temperature, but Jiang Qing frowned slightly after seeing the situation——

The general is still alive.

Under the protection of the armor emitting a hazy light, he insisted on rushing out of the fire scene after the attack came. Although he seemed to have received a lot of burns and had difficulty breathing, he could still struggle for a while and continue to stagger to escape .

Jiang Qing didn't know whether to sigh in joy or regret, and fell down to the position of the general below.

I want to write more details according to everyone's ideas, but when I write the pen, it goes to the sky. It's so difficult to write other types of plots.
