Chapter 308: Initial Practice of Techniques
Chu Xiaomu spat in his face and asked with a smile: "Am I that kind of person?!"
Wangang, Lingweidou and Sumishun immediately chimed in, saying that they trusted Xiaomu and that he would not eat alone or abandon his brothers to monopolize the benefits.
Wu Sheng rolled his eyes at everyone and said, "I don't think so. People can change."
It was the end of spring, the grass was green, the birds were singing, and the sky was green. The weather and season were just right. Chu Xiaomu and his party had been walking along the foot of the Beast Mountain for three or four days while laughing and joking.
There were other teams along the way, so Chu Xiaomu didn't dare to take out the "Return to the Stars Technique" in front of everyone. He could only secretly flip through a few pages when everyone was sleeping.
It doesn't matter if it doesn't turn over, but once it turns over, it's like a basin of cold water poured over your head.
Although I recognize most of the words in the book, it is difficult to understand their meaning when they are put together. It is like a monkey meeting an orangutan. They look alike, but I don't understand why the other looks like that.
He thought that although Yang Zhongjun asked him not to show the book to other people, it might take him a year or two to understand it if he studied it by himself. Who knows, he might have to ask Lin Zhen and the others to read it together. Besides, he couldn't practice the Force away from them all the time.
As the teams that were closer to each other found their bases at the designated locations, the number of teams that were traveling together gradually decreased, and the teams with different speeds and patience also became different. The teams that could have been traveling with Chu Xiaomu's team gradually fell behind. Only Chu Xiaomu's team was left walking in the front.
Zuo Heng said that they would arrive at the designated location within ten days and light a beacon as a signal, so naturally everyone did not dare to slack off.
Occasionally, he met herdsmen along the way. Chu Xiaomu asked them where the "Bujian Peak" was, but no one knew. When he asked about the direction and distance of Gusong Ridge, the herdsmen knew it. They pointed to the far east and said, "Gusong Ridge is over there. Just keep going in this direction. There is a single pine tree on the top of the mountain. It is tall and big, and looks very strange. You will know it at a glance."
Everyone was very happy after hearing this.
After walking for another five days, we saw a mountain of neither big nor small in the distance. On the top of the mountain grew a big tree. Although far away, we could still see that it looked like a monster or a demon. Its branches were like four swords and spears. It was indeed very strange.
Everyone knew that the front was Gusong Ridge, and they finally relaxed after many days of travel. Seeing that there was only one day left before the deadline agreed with Zuo Heng and Yang Sui, they simply stopped their horses to rest. Su Mishun shot three fat hares, peeled and cleaned them, roasted them on the fire, sprinkled a few grains of sand salt and a little hot pepper powder, and the fat fragrance was overflowing, and the taste was endless.
The nine of them had a delicious meal and walked slowly towards the foot of Lone Pine Ridge. After about an hour and a half, they finally arrived. Chu Xiaomu remembered that Yang Sui said they needed to use beacon fire to send a message to the Nan Dui camp, so he and the others dug up a few oil-root grasses and a few bundles of thick fur grass. After they were lit, the green smoke rose into the sky and could be seen from dozens of miles away.
Ling Weidou asked: "Why don't the Zuoying people give each of our teams a messenger eagle? In this way, if we find anything, we can use the messenger eagle to send a message to them."
Lin Zhen said, "Do you think it's that easy to train a messenger eagle? There are only about 20 or 30 of them in the entire Bicheng, and our team just wants to get one. Don't dream about that."
Chu Xiaomu said, "I think no matter how fast the messenger eagle is, it can't be faster than the beacon fire. With just one fire like this, the message can be transmitted dozens or hundreds of miles away. It won't take long for it to reach Zuoying and his men."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw green smoke rising towards the west, and each team reported their positions back to Nan Dui Camp.
The next step was to choose an open area as the sentry camp. There was a hill about ten feet high at the foot of Gusongling Mountain. The east and west sides were very open, and you could see forty or fifty miles at a glance. It was a perfect place to set up camp. Everyone happily walked to the top of the hill, cut grass and leveled the ground, and cleared out an open space. Then they built five more tents, leaving a square of about ten feet in the middle for making fire. They also marked out a piece of land next to the tents to keep horses in a pen, thinking that they could go to the Beast Mountain to cut some trees to make a horse pen when they were free to prevent wild animals from coming out in the middle of the night to hurt the horses.
The group had been herding horses in the wild for several months and had to migrate with the herd from time to time. They were very skilled at changing camps and setting up camp, and in less than an hour, they had properly arranged the campsite.
After a short rest, Chu Xiaomu and everyone else arranged to take turns to keep watch at night, and then it was completely dark.
After chatting for a while, everyone felt sleepy and went into the tent to sleep. Chu Xiaomu was naturally on duty on the first night. The sky was full of stars, and the wilderness was dark and quiet. No sound could be heard, and no light could be seen.
After guarding for a while, Chu Xiaomu felt bored, so he took out the book "Return to the Stars" given by Yang Luo and read it by the firelight.
The title page reads: Humans are born from the womb, but in fact they are the condensation of the spiritual energy of the world, and the chaos becomes a celestial body, and the original power is hidden. The innate sea of qi is like the starlight in the sky, flickering and illusory at times, and martial artists have been burning their blood for a long time. The method of returning to the stars is like the rising stars following the morning sun, gathering the faint light into a bright fire; it is also like the flying dust gathering the mountains, and the mud balls become the majestic mountains. It can open the six orifices and open the original force...
Chu Xiaomu roughly understood these dozens of words. There was no real content in them, so he read them once and then ignored them. When he turned to the next page, he was dumbfounded. Although he knew all the words on it, he didn't understand most of them. Fortunately, there were many pictures drawn on the back. After comparing them, he could understand a lot more. However, he still couldn't practice according to the meaning of the formula. After trying again and again, he always felt that something was wrong. Naturally, it was because he hadn't understood some of the words thoroughly.
Chu Xiaomu was different from Xuanying, and was not a very patient person. After trying for a while, he found that something was not right, so he simply put the book in his arms, walked to the top of the mountain, and looked at the wilderness around him. Finally, he was still itching to try, so he ran to the fire, fanned the flames a little, and used the firelight to read "Return to the Stars" again.
Suddenly I remembered that Yang Zhongjun said that if there is no progress in this method within five years, one should not practice it anymore. This shows that opening up the Force is an extremely difficult and time-consuming thing. It is really a pipe dream for me to think that I can understand it in the book in one night.
Thinking of this, I immediately became less impatient. I turned to the next page again and compared the text and graphics one by one. I also gained new insights into several places that I didn't understand before.
He also wanted to wait until he had free time to bring the Guixing Fa Jue to everyone to study and practice together. Nine people would always understand it more deeply than one person. Although Yang Zhongjun said that this Fa Jue was radical and mysterious, not everyone was suitable for practicing it. One had to practice it to know whether it was suitable for him or not. Suddenly, he thought of Yingdan again. He thought that he read a lot of books and was careful in his work. It would be great if he was here.
