Chapter 54 [Shadow of the Wind (Part 2)]
This is a peculiar mountain road, only three feet wide, with two walls standing like blades, penetrated into the sky. The mountain road is narrow, long and straight, and the fierce and violent wind is roaring with the overwhelming terror, as if an unknown prehistoric monster roaring deep in the valley.
Over the past ten thousand years, due to the violent winds over the endless years, the rocks with a crisp texture and even the hard rocks were eroded. The rocks on both walls and the mountain roads were "washed" by the wind to be smooth, cold and hard, just like large pieces of black iron, I am afraid that even a huge steel hammer could not hit a small stone.
Luo Xiao stood in front of the valley entrance, his black hair was pulled straight, his clothes were pressed against his chest, and his flickering sounded. He felt that the wind blade was slashing and his eyes were hard to open. In such a place, if he was not a successful martial artist, if he had been an ordinary person, he would probably not be able to stand steadily.
For the first time, Luo Xiao knew that there was such a strange place in Longyuan Mountain, which was comparable to the sandstorm in Baicao City! And this was only October. If it was December, the strongest wind, this storm would probably blow people away.
This is not because Luo Xiao, a hunter family, is incompetent. You should know that Longyuan Mountain is not a mountain, but a huge mountain range that stretches for more than a hundred miles, spans Wuyang and passes through the moon. Luo Xiao was born on the northern foot of Longyuan Mountain, and where he is standing now is in front of the mouth of a valley called Longhou Valley on the southern foot. One south and one north, a hundred miles apart, it is not surprising that he doesn't know.
"The Dragon Roar Valley is quite appropriate, it really means a dragon roaring." Luo Xiao couldn't help but remember the long roar of the dragon he heard when he was on guard Longyuan Mountain to monitor the beast tide. That power was comparable to the strong wind in the valley.
Of course, Luo Xiao came here not to find a tyrant, but to practice the mystery. Although this Dragon Roar Valley is far away from Yishui City, it is actually a secret place of the martial arts hall. In front of the mountain road far away from the entrance of the valley, there are two second-level green disciples patrolling the patrol. They must show a sign to be allowed to enter. This sign is the entry card for cultivation, which took Luo Xiao a total of fifty merit points, which exceeded the sum of his previous twelve-handed flying thallium when he learned the Qi Explosion Arrow Sword and Shield Combination Strike Technique.
There is no way, Deacon Kang's original words were: "Can the shadow of wind be practiced? Its level is there, which is the top body and footwork technique in the realm, no one. When it came out a hundred years ago, the price was 150 merit points. However, over the past hundred years, the price was one after another, but almost no one could practice it. The price was reduced again and again, and finally fell to the current point." Then, he looked at Luo Xiao with a look of "Just be content", so Luo Xiao had to silently push the identity plate to Deacon Kang.
Fortunately, Luo Xiao had thirty or forty merit points, and he obtained thirty-five merit points from the Baicao City mission (blue level upgraded to red level), which was still surplus and enough expenditure. However, after leaving the fifty merit points, Luo Xiao only got a mental formula without a body step figure. How to practice this?
"The body and foot figure is not in the martial arts hall, but in the Dragon Roar Valley."
Deacon Kang said this, so Luo Xiao came.
When Luo Xiao stretched out his palm and condensed a mirror-shaped shield in the palm of his palm to resist the strong wind. At the same time, he used his eyes to look into the dark and dark valley with light and shadow, but he saw deep footprints appearing on the mountain roads and the two walls as hard as iron.
This is the figure of the body and foot of the Wind Shadow - not a figure in a book, but a real scene and real display!
According to the secret martial arts records, "Shadow of Wind" is the top secret of the body step left by the first legendary powerful man who walked from the lower domain into the upper domain. It consists of a mental formula and 108-step footprints. The practice conditions and environment are extremely harsh. First, you must choose a cultivation environment similar to a wind tunnel, and then the practitioner must strictly follow the footprints to complete 108 steps in one breath, and you cannot pause in the middle. This is how you can complete a cycle of the world.
In this way, practitioners must not only fight against the natural wind, but also walk accurately and accurately, which is extremely difficult.
Although the conditions are very harsh, there are so many martial arts geniuses in the realm, and there is not lack of perseverance and wisdom. Why has no one ever been able to practice it in hundreds of years?
To put it bluntly, the reason is very simple, just four words: insufficient resources! To be precise, it is insufficient spiritual energy!
Since the entire practice process must be completed in one breath, you must not take half a step in the process, and you must not stop halfway. Once interrupted, you must start over. The energy (power) required to complete 108 steps uninterrupted is too huge. The power of the Dantian core alone is not enough to support the whole process, and it is even difficult to do half the process.
If the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is sufficient, you can adjust your breathing while walking, absorb the transformation energy, and go out and enter continuously. It is possible to complete 108 steps in this way. If there is no spiritual energy of heaven and earth and do not want to interrupt, the only way is to absorb the spiritual energy of spirit stones.
Not to mention the harm of low-grade spirit stones, just talking about the price, one piece is worth a thousand gold, and it takes at least five spirit stones to complete a cycle of the lunar calendar. This is only the amount of spirit stones required for an eighth-level warrior. If it is below the eighth-level, the amount of spirit stones in a cycle of the lunar calendar increases by at least three times. A small sum of money per year, how many pieces will it take? Who can afford it?
Therefore, the real reason why no one has practiced the magical technique of body-handling in Fengzhiying is not that it cannot be practiced, but that it cannot be practiced! Taking a step back, even if you can afford it, then the low-grade spirit stone is a special resource distributed by the imperial court to warriors. It is a rare thing that is priceless and has no market. You can't buy it even if you have money. How can you practice it?
After understanding the reason, Luo Xiao had only one thought. This was simply a secret of body steps tailored for him. Will others lack spiritual energy? Does others need spiritual stones?
God's will, maybe he can really become the first samurai to practice this mystery in a century!
Luo Xiao opened his five fingers, and the Yuanli shield was stretched out like an umbrella. He stepped into the mountain path with confidence. He faced the wind knife that was enough to cut countless cuts of ordinary people's skin. Although his steps were slow, he was firm and steady and steady. When he touched a rock wall with one hand, he felt like he was as if he was so fine. With a fierce stroke of the finger force, the finger force that was enough to crack the stone and open the monument did not even leave a mark.
Luo Xiao was surprised and his five fingers formed claws, and his elemental power surged. Five white finger lights burst out from his fingertips, and they cut across the mountain wall like a blade, which showed five shallow white seals.
What kind of rock is this? It is so hard? It is far better than fine iron, comparable to black iron!
Luo Xiao's inner shock had not yet dissipated, and the first footprint appeared in front of him.
A very ordinary footprint is like a mark left by a person passing through the muddy and soft mud. However, this footprint appears here, but it is extremely unusual. Because this is not mud, it is a black iron stone mountain road that is harder than the refined steel!
Luo Xiao was shocked and put the purpose of the Longhou Valley aside. He squatted down and looked at the footprints carefully. Then he was surprised to find that the footprints that were deeply trapped in iron and stone were three inches deep! And it was obviously not carved by a knife and axe, but by someone stepping on them with his feet.
As Luo Xiao moved forward step by step along the footprint, he became more and more shocked - it was not the mystery of the footprints that shocked him. He hadn't realized it yet. What shocked him was that all the footprints were the same depth, not more than one point, not more than one point, three inches!
Luo Xiao seemed to see a back that looked real and illusory, with his big sleeves floating, and he walked on the mountain road with his hands in his arms. While walking, it was either agile, strange, or quick, or solid, leaving a series of afterimages on the mountain road, and finally disappeared at the end of the deep and darkness.
While calmly and lightly, the footprint with a footprint with a certain depth under the Xuantied Stone Mountain Road Seal is the most shocking!
Once the secret technique left by such a powerful man is practiced, it will definitely be the first step skill of the Tianjing Realm!
Luo Xiao's heart suddenly became hot, and he stood up suddenly. With his five fingers, the Yuanli shield that was blocking his body suddenly shrank and closed his palm. He immediately soaked his entire arm and covered his whole body, making him feel as if he was covered with a layer of white light.
