Chapter 4: Awakening
"The traitor Chen Jiu is extremely evil. If you see him, report him to the police immediately and don't let him get away."
"Chen Jiu murdered a spirit. His crime is unforgivable. The City God has ordered that he must be arrested."
Chen Jiu and the wolf demon fled all the way westward, heading straight for the deep mountains and forests hundreds of miles away. Unfortunately, they could not run away after running for more than ten miles.
Because all the intersections were blocked by officials, the gods of every village and town left their temples and ran to higher places to look around. Even villagers in the fields were looking around.
Once he left the forest, he would definitely be discovered.
What should I do?
Chen Jiu hid behind a big tree, secretly looking at the yellow-faced female spirit on the top of the distant mountain, and a trace of panic appeared on his face.
The forest here is not very big, we can find him as long as we gather enough people to search.
He can't stay here and wait to die!
Upon seeing this, the wolf demon gritted his teeth and used all his strength to power the Tiger Demon Fist, and his body instantly grew by more than twice its size.
“Ouch.”
He rushed out of the jungle and howled at the officers guarding the intersection: "A good dog doesn't block the road! Who dares to block Lord Wolf's way? Are you looking for death? I will bite you bastards to death!"
What a huge wolf monster!
The officials were immediately frightened out of their wits, and the villagers in the fields also ran home in panic.
Seeing this, the yellow-faced goddess spirit could not help but get furious and said, "How dare you, you bastard, come to my territory and make trouble? Are you looking for death?"
With a "whoosh", her huge body leaped up and pounced towards the wolf demon.
"Mami Mami Ho, ah-ah-ah-pah, mami Mami Ho, ah-ah-ah-pah."
"Puh, puh, puh, puh." Mouthfuls of thick phlegm whistled out and almost spit on the wolf demon's face.
The thick phlegm that fell on the ground could actually burn holes in the ground!
Upon seeing this, the wolf demon quickly ran into the village with its tail between its legs and hid in the houses.
The villagers of Yifengdian were so frightened that they quickly closed the doors and windows, fearing that the wolf demon would rush in.
Chen Jiu looked at the back of the yellow-faced female spirit and immediately jumped out and ran straight to the woods opposite.
Not long after, the wolf demon caught up, and there was smoke coming out of its tail.
He hurriedly dragged his tail and stirred the grass a few times, then said awkwardly: "The spit of that yellow-faced woman was full of anger, and I was accidentally spitted by her."
Seeing its miserable appearance, Chen Jiu was moved and said, "Thank you for your help, Brother Wolf. I haven't asked for your name yet."
The wolf demon said proudly: "My Silverback Wolf King clan is the king of wolves, so I took the surname Wang. I have five brothers and sisters in my family, and I am the second, so I am called Wang Er."
King of wolves?
Did not see it.
But you are a bit stupid.
Chen Jiu hesitated for a moment, but still said bluntly: "Brother Wang, I saw that you just practiced your skills, and your blood and energy seemed to be sufficient. Why can't you reach the fourth level?"
When Wang Er heard this, his eyes froze.
He thought about it for a long time before he said awkwardly, "I can make the blood and qi leave the body, but every time I spray out the blood and qi, I can't show the phantom of the tiger god. Every time I try, I lose a lot of blood and qi, so I don't dare to try it easily anymore."
This guy really has something wrong with his brain.
You can't just talk nonsense, you have to visualize the body of the tiger god, you have to control the flow of qi and blood outside the body to form the bones and meridians of the tiger god...
Forget it, it’s hard to explain right away. They are running for their lives, so getting away is the most important thing.
Along the way they passed through several villages and towns, and met many officials and gods. With a wolf demon leading the way, Chen Jiu was able to escape danger and was not discovered.
However, traveling in this way was extremely time-consuming. The man and the wolf ran for most of the day but only managed to cover less than thirty miles.
As it was approaching noon, Chen Jiu was already feeling dry mouth and hungry.
Just then, a flash of water appeared in front of us, and a small stream appeared faintly.
The man and the wolf rushed over at the same time, immersed their heads in the stream and drank voraciously.
As they were drinking happily, a smug laugh suddenly came from the top of the mountain at the source of the stream: "Hahahaha, Chen Jiu, I calculated that you would come here to drink water."
Chen Jiu was shocked and looked up, only to see a young man in a fiery red official robe standing on a huge rock on the top of the mountain.
This man looked to be in his twenties, well-mannered and quite handsome. At first glance, he was a pampered scholar.
These days, scholars wearing fiery red official robes are earthly officials who are more terrifying than the gods in the underworld.
Run quickly!
Chen Jiu made a prompt decision, turned around and ran.
The Wolf Demon King was stunned for a moment, then hurried to catch up.
"Huh, you still want to run?"
The red-robed official snorted coldly, and suddenly a dirt wall taller than a man appeared in front of them.
The wolf demon ran into it headfirst and almost broke its nose.
Chen Jiu was quick-witted and quick-handed. He held onto the earth wall and stopped his charge. He turned his head and stared, "Spirit Officer!"
The red-robed official said proudly with his hands behind his back, "That's right. I'm Xu Ning, the criminal officer of the county government. You're the traitor Chen Jiu. Why don't you surrender?"
Surrender?
You must be dreaming!
Chen Jiu patted the dust off his hands and said with a straight face, "I thought he was a spiritual official, but it turns out he is just a small spiritual official.
Do you think I'll surrender?
If you know what’s best for you, get out of here now, or I’ll kill you!
I have killed all the gods, so why would I care about killing one more petty official?"
Xu Ning said disdainfully: "You are a country bumpkin, ignorant and uninformed. Do you think you are so great just because you killed a village god?
You probably don’t know what a real God is!
To put it bluntly, the gods enshrined in the City God Temple are just ghosts enshrined in the statues. At most, they can be considered as ghost soldiers. They have not even reached the level of ghost generals. How powerful can they be?
You even killed me, do you know what enlightenment is? "
Get the idea?
This enlightenment obviously does not mean becoming smart suddenly.
Chen Jiu asked, "What does it mean to be enlightened?"
Xu Ning walked down the mountain, and steps appeared automatically on the huge rock under his feet!
As he walked, he said leisurely: "You can't run away anyway, so it doesn't hurt to tell you. Opening the acupoints means using special methods to open the acupoints.
As the saying goes, one grain of sand is a world, one leaf is a bodhi. The acupoints on the human body are not comparable to sand, stone and leaves. Each acupoint contains tremendous power.
As long as you open an acupoint, it is equivalent to opening a world, and the power that erupts is beyond your imagination.
Let me tell you, the village god is nothing in the eyes of us spiritual officials. Don’t think that killing a village god is a big deal.
Surrender immediately, or you will lose your life!"
This guy is displaying real magical powers!
Chen Jiu's heart skipped a beat when he looked at the steps that appeared out of thin air on the boulder.
To be honest, although he could be considered a cultivator, he did not know any magical powers. The village gods he killed relied on brute force just like him.
This guy actually has real magical powers!
The Lingguan is really scary!
However, on the surface, he still steeled himself and retorted, "Everyone can brag. Who are you trying to scare? You're saying so much because you're afraid I'll kill you. Get out of here now, and don't force me to kill anyone!"
This kid is quite smart and it's hard to scare him. It looks like I'm going to have to do some tricks to scare him.
"Hmph, you won't cry until you see the coffin!"
Xu Ning snorted coldly, and the entire forest was shocked. The thick earthy smell seemed to make the entire forest gray.
He raised his hand and grabbed, and the dirt and sand on the hillside instantly condensed and turned into a fist bigger than a person, smashing straight towards Chen Jiu.
“Ah!”
Chen Jiu quickly mobilized all his energy and blood, and slapped the terrifying giant fist.
With a loud bang, dust flew, gravel splashed, and the shadow of the tiger reappeared.
Chen Jiu stared at Xu Ning on the hillside with bloodshot eyes and said frantically: "So what if you opened the acupoints? The power is just so-so! It seems that Wang Clan of Langya didn't teach you any advanced skills. You lackeys can only learn a little bit of the basics."
hateful!
Xu Ning was furious and said, "Boy, you are looking for death!"
He suddenly opened his arms and shouted with all his strength, "Sword, come."
With a "buzz", the entire hillside shook. Countless amounts of dirt and sand condensed, and a giant sword wider than the city gate rose from the ground.
Oh shit!
The wolf demon ran away.
"Woo", the giant sword whistled and stabbed towards Chen Jiu at the foot of the mountain. With a "bang", the shadows of Chen Jiu and the tiger were instantly buried by earth and rocks.
Hey kid, you're such a bad mouth!
Xu Ning took out the soul-binding rope and grinned, "I wanted to spare your life, but since you are so unruly, I will have to turn you into a ghost and take you back."
"Ao", with a tiger's roar, the whole forest trembled.
The mound of earth, which was originally more than ten feet high, suddenly exploded. Chen Jiu, who was standing in the shadow of the Tiger God, was not hurt at all!
How can it be?
The giant sword he transformed contained the power of the acupoints and could penetrate metal and stone without any problem.
What kind of monster is this Chen Jiu? He is actually fine!
Xu Ning was stunned when he saw this.
The tiger is coming out of the mountain!
Chen Jiu stopped talking and turned into a phantom, pouncing towards Xu Ning on the hillside.
Seeing this, Xu Ning quickly raised his hand and pushed. Immediately, a huge shield thicker than the city wall flew up from the hillside and smashed towards Chen Jiu.
With a loud bang, dust flew up and Chen Jiu was knocked back.
Immediately afterwards, another bunch of huge fists came whizzing over, smashing Chen Jiu's legs so hard that they sank and he vomited blood. His whole body was hammered into the ground like a wooden stake.
The power of the acupoints is so terrifying!
After a while, a pile of earth more than ten feet high appeared where Chen Jiu was standing, like a huge tomb.
Now you're dead , right?
Seeing that the pile of earth had stopped moving, Xu Ning grinned grimly again and pulled out the soul-binding rope.
"Ao", a tiger roar that shook the earth rang out.
"Boom", the whole forest shook like an earthquake. The earth pile more than ten feet high was blown apart by the huge shock wave, and mud and gravel flew everywhere. The surrounding trees were instantly stripped of their branches and leaves, leaving only bare poles.
Chen Jiu exhausted all his potential, condensed all his energy and blood to break through madly, and finally reached the sixth level of the Tiger Demon Divine Fist.
At this time, the shadow of the Tiger God seemed to be solidified, and his figure was covered and became looming.
What kind of martial arts is this, and why is it so powerful?
Seeing this, Xu Ning couldn't help but frowned.
Chen Jiu roared and pounced on him again.
This time, the giant shield like a city wall was blown up by him, and he finally rushed to Xu Ning.
Xu Ning calmly started to fight with him with his fists and feet. Every punch and kick was made of earth and rocks, which instantly turned into fists and feet bigger than a man and smashed towards Chen Jiu.
Chen Jiu was not willing to be outdone, and launched a full-strength attack using the Tiger Demon Fist.
"Boom boom boom", there were continuous explosions in the forest. The shadow of a tiger and its huge fists and feet kept flashing. The flying gravel turned the nearby trees into sieves like sharp arrows.
Chen Jiu struggled for who knows how many times, and finally stopped gasping for breath.
This won't work. The Tiger Demon's Divine Fist is a close-combat boxing technique. He can't kill the opponent unless he can reach him.
He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his face looking solemn.
Lingguan is so scary, he can’t do anything to others!
Just when he was at a loss for what to do, a black shadow suddenly jumped out from the woods on the top of the mountain and quietly rushed behind Xu Ning.
The wolf demon didn't run away!
It turned out that Wang Er had gone around to the top of the mountain to encircle the enemy.
Seeing this, Chen Jiu jumped up again and pounced forward.
This kid's blood and energy are too terrifying!
Xu Ning was actually feeling a little dizzy at this moment.
The power of the acupoints is infinite, but the problem is that the Wang family only opened the first level of acupoints for him, so the power he can unleash is limited.
Moreover, the practice of his skills consumed a great deal of his spiritual energy. Chen Jiu's continuous struggling made his spiritual energy a little overwhelmed.
what to do?
He rolled his eyes and said cajolingly, "Chen Jiu, wait a minute. With your skills, killing a village head is nothing. I can say a few good words for you in front of the county magistrate and guarantee that you will be safe..."
"ah!"
Before he could finish his words, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his calf.
The wolf demon pounced on him like lightning and bit his calf!
Xu Ning screamed and slapped his backhand.
The wolf demon was immediately slapped to the ground by a huge palm and sank into the dust without any movement.
White tiger claws!
Chen Jiu seized the opportunity and pounced on him and slapped him.
A huge palm with the shadow of a tiger claw came towards him. Xu Ning endured the severe pain and held up a huge shield in front of him.
With a "bang", the giant shield shattered, and the shadow of the tiger claw finally hit Xu Ning.
Xu Ning was slapped so hard that he flew backwards, bleeding and even knocked a big hole on the hillside.
Black tiger rips out heart.
Chen Jiu chased after him like lightning and grabbed Xu Ning's chest fiercely.
If he could really empty his chest, I think he would be able to get it clean.
With a "puff" sound, Chen Jiu scooped back a handful of soil.
The hillside behind Xu Ning suddenly sank, and his entire body disappeared into the ground!
Chen Jiu was stunned when he saw the dirt falling from his hands.
"Hey, there's something!"
There was also a piece of red cloth and a white cloth bag in the mud.
He shook off the dirt, opened the cloth bag and took a look, his face filled with surprise.
There were actually a few silver ingots worth one or two taels and a scroll in the cloth bag.
Now he became rich. Although he had seen silver ingots before, none of them belonged to him. This time he actually took out several of them.
And this scroll, could it be that it records the method of awakening one’s mind?
He quickly took out the scroll, put the cloth bag in his arms, and then couldn't wait to open the book and read it.
Awakening the mind is the path to becoming an immortal after refining the body.
The power of the acupoints is endless. Open the acupoints and communicate with the world inside the acupoints. Use the spiritual power from the world inside the acupoints to control the spiritual power of the heaven and earth. You can go up to the sky and down to the earth and be omnipotent. This is called a spiritual official.
Seeing this, Chen Jiu couldn't help but be excited.
I am determined to write a book for the spiritual official, but the methods of opening the acupoints of the wealthy families are all top secret and not a single word can be revealed to the outside. Anyone who violates the rules will be destroyed both physically and spiritually, and all nine generations of the clan will be exterminated!
Therefore, in this book I will only talk about rumors, miscellaneous notes and personal insights.
Seeing this, Chen Jiu almost tore up the scroll.
He thought he had found the subsequent skills, but it turned out to be a false alarm. This guy didn't dare to record the method of opening the acupoints!
Write a book?
If you don't have any concrete content, you're writing for no one to read!
He looked back somewhat unwillingly, and sure enough, there were only rumors behind him.
It is rumored that the method of opening the acupoints originated from the four gods of wind, rain, thunder and lightning. The four gods were extremely talented and each opened the four major acupoints of wind, cloud, thunder and lightning, so they were able to control the wind, rain, thunder and lightning in this world.
It is also rumored that the method of opening the acupoints originated from five ancient human emperors. These five emperors opened the five major acupoints of gold, wood, water, fire and earth respectively, thereby controlling the power of the five elements of this world. They had endless power and were therefore able to unify the world.
There are also rumors that the scriptures with the word "Tai" in their names are all divine-level skills passed down from ancient times, and they are extraordinary from the very beginning of body training.
Xu Ning's note here: Kung Fu is divided into levels. Ordinary Kung Fu can only be used to refine the body, king-level Kung Fu can only be cultivated to the king level, immortal-level Kung Fu can only be cultivated to the immortal level, and only god-level Kung Fu can be cultivated to become a god and attain enlightenment and ascend to heaven!
Most of the aristocratic families have king-level skills. Even aristocratic families like the Wang family of Langya, which have been passed down for thousands of years, only have immortal-level skills.
It is also rumored that Zhang obtained the "Taixuan Zhenjing" and established the Heavenly Palace, Zhao obtained the "Taixu Zhenjing" and seized the underworld, and Zhu obtained the "Taiyan Zhenjing" and gained the world!
Therefore, all the aristocratic families are searching for the divine skills passed down from ancient times at all costs.
Seeing this, Chen Jiu's face couldn't help but become gloomy.
Because he was practicing the guiding technique of Taiyin Sutra!
Moreover, he indeed had many extraordinary qualities since he started to refine his body!
What would happen if people knew that he was practicing the Taiyin Sutra?
The temptation of the god-level skills is too great, if you get it, you can conquer the world!
People don't know that he only knows the guiding techniques of the body refining period.
The man was innocent until he was found guilty of possessing a treasure, not to mention that he also killed the head of the village and the village god.
This is big trouble!
Chen Jiu held the scroll in his hand, his face looking extremely ugly.
His dusty memories seemed to loosen a little, and the scenes from his childhood nightmares flashed through his mind again.
He vaguely felt that the reason why the three realms of humans, ghosts and gods were chasing him had a lot to do with this god-level martial art!
The reason why the fox fairy chose to teach him "Tai Yin Zhen Jing" in his dream might be because of this reason...
"Ouch."
The second wolf demon king suddenly trembled and pushed away the dirt and rocks on his body, and slowly stood up.
What am I daydreaming about!
Chen Jiu hurried over and asked with concern: "Brother Wang, how are you? Are you okay?"
The second wolf demon king shook off the dust on his body, licked the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said with lingering fear: "This spiritual officer is really powerful, he almost slapped me to pieces with just one slap.
Fortunately, fortunately, our demon race is not good at other things, but it can withstand beatings, I will be fine after a while."
I'm glad you're okay, run away quickly!
Chen Jiu stuffed the book into his arms and said anxiously, "Xu Ning must have gone to get someone. Let's go quickly."
