Chapter Eight Moon Shadow Heart Art
Zhou Heng continued to move forward into the depths of the cave.
Don't look at the extremely narrow entrance of this cave, but the more you go inside, the more spacious it is. Of course, it wasn't spacious enough to walk sideways, and probably could accommodate three people side by side.
After walking for more than ten minutes, there was still no intention of going to the end. Zhou Heng has a character of not admitting defeat. Once his temper came, he decided to fight this cave, and he must go to the end!
It's pitch black outside, let alone inside the cave, and you can't see your fingers at all. Fortunately, there are no forks in this cave. Even if one road extends forward, you don't have to worry about getting lost and unable to get out.
Zhou Heng occasionally slashed at the cave wall with his long sword, and looked at the surrounding environment with the faint light of sparks from the rubbing.
Another half an hour passed, and he still hadn't reached the bottom of the cave.
If you want to change another person, you have to turn around and go back, but Zhou Heng has a stubborn temper. Since he has made up his mind to go to the end, he will never give up halfway—otherwise, he will not be in the middle of the road. Persisted for ten years under the test of the black sword!
As long as it is not a maze, you can always go to the end.
Another hour later, a bright light suddenly appeared in front of them. Although it was very faint, it was nothing more than a bright light for those who had been in the dark for a long time. Zhou Heng was overjoyed, but he was even more on guard, and he tightened his grip on the long sword in his right hand.
After walking a few more steps, the light became brighter and brighter, and a hole appeared.
When he stepped out, his eyes suddenly opened up, and he saw the bright moon and few stars, and this was actually a deep valley.
Zhou Heng looked up at the sky, but he didn't know when the heavy rain stopped. The grass in the valley was covered with stars and water droplets, making it even more verdant and green, exuding a breath of vitality.
The valley is not big, only about a hundred meters in radius, surrounded by mountains, it is an absolute valley. The mountain wall is so steep that it may be difficult for the spirit ape to climb to the top of the mountain.
There is a small pond under the mountain wall on the west side, and beside the pond is a big tree. The open canopy completely covers the pond, and the leaves sway gently in the night wind, making a rustling sound.
When his gaze swept under the big tree, Zhou Heng's eyes couldn't help but tighten.
A corpse!
Sitting on the big tree, the head, neck, and hands have been turned into bones, and the rest is hidden under a scarlet brocade robe, which does not reveal the dense bones, but a skull has already It's scary.
It was only then that Zhou Heng remembered that he had just killed someone not long ago!
What shocked him was that he didn't feel any discomfort, as if he didn't kill a person, but a chicken or a dog!
On the road of martial arts, killing is inevitable. It seems that I have adapted to it in advance!
However, I don't intend to be a murderer... My bottom line is, don't mess with me!
With firm eyes, Zhou Heng put aside the murder and strode to the bottom of the tree.
The bones of the head and neck of the corpse were intact. Zhou Heng picked up the clothes of the corpse and saw that three ribs were broken at the chest.
This person should have suffered a blunt blow, which injured his internal organs, and then fled here. He died of serious injuries!
This can be proved by the complete clothes on his body. If a sharp object is pierced, it is impossible not to leave holes in the clothes! And if his enemies chase after him, it is impossible for him to maintain this posture before he dies!
Judging from the shape of the bone injury, it was clearly broken by a punch!
Zhou Heng picked up a broken bone and bent it hard, but the broken bone was surprisingly tough and did not move. He mobilized all the strength in his body and broke it again, but the broken bone was still harder than iron!
The strength of my hands is definitely more than a thousand catties now, and this bone has experienced at least decades of wind and rain. It should have lost its previous toughness long ago. How can it still be so strong?
A few years ago, a grave robber dug up the grave of an ancestor who passed away decades ago. When he was reburying it, someone accidentally stepped on the remains, and it immediately shattered!
That ancestor was at the blood refinement level before his death!
Comparing the two, Zhou Heng could only draw one conclusion that shocked him.
Ascend to heaven!
This corpse walked the road to the sky before he was alive, and achieved an incredible existence!
In Zhou Heng's cognition, the martial artist who crossed the road to heaven is equal to the legendary immortal, but such an immortal was smashed with his fist by life, and finally died here miserably!
The strong have their own strong hands, even if they cross the road to heaven, they are not immortal.
Zhou Heng searched the body carefully, and found a book and a token near the hip bone.
The book was supposed to be hidden in the man's chest and abdomen, and placed next to his body, but as the body rotted, the book also fell off, and only then appeared at the position of the hip bone.
However, I don't know what kind of material this book is made of. It actually experienced the decay of the corpse and didn't die with it! Moreover, after such a long time, this book has not changed at all, it is extremely soft to the touch, as if it is not paper, but human skin.
Never easy!
If such a precious material can be used to make a book page, what kind of information is recorded on it? And it comes from a peerless strong man who may have crossed the road to heaven. How precious would it be to be collected by such a strong man?
There was no handwriting on the cover, Zhou Heng couldn't hold back his curiosity, and opened the book.
Moon Shadow Heart Art!
There are only four characters on the first page, and they are written vigorously and vigorously, exuding an atmosphere.
A tactic can explain that this is basically a practice method, but this Moon Shadow Heart Jue might be the reason for the downfall of that strong man, so how important is it?
Zhou Heng couldn't help but continue to read and read through this exercise.
That's right, this is indeed a practice book. The whole text is only more than 4,000 words, which is a bit obscure, but Zhou Heng paused for a while, and it took almost a few seconds for him to suddenly understand it, and it didn't take much effort to understand it.
His comprehension has been continuously enhanced in the process of practicing Ling Tian's Nine Forms. Although he has not mastered the first form of swordsmanship until now, it is not difficult to comprehend the Moon Shadow Heart Art.
I want to give it a try and see how effective this set of exercises is!
Zhou Heng sat down cross-legged, refined the food in his body with the method of Moon Shadow Heart Jue, extracted free energy, and transformed it into his own true energy.
Um!
After running the Moon Shadow Heart Art in his body for a week, Zhou Heng stopped involuntarily, with a look of shock on his face.
efficiency!
The efficiency of Moon Shadow Heart Jue in transforming true energy is more than twice that of Lie Yang Jue!
According to the description of the Moon Shadow Heart Jue, if you practice it under the moonlight, the effect can be increased by 30%, but the Lieyang Jue can also be practiced in the sun to increase the speed by 20%. No matter how you say it, Moon Shadow Heart Art is much stronger than Lie Yang Art!
Even if it is only twice the speed, it means that it is also necessary to reach the Bone Refining Realm. If it takes ten years to practice with the Lie Yang Jue, then it only takes five years to use the Moon Shadow Heart Jue!
No wonder this person encountered a fatal disaster!
You must know that time is definitely the biggest enemy on the road of cultivation!
For example, if one cannot break through to the meat-refining realm before the age of twenty, then the possibility will be infinitely reduced, and there is basically no hope—that’s why the Zhou family has the rule that if they cannot reach the meat-refining realm before the age of eighteen, they cannot practice.
Although the exercises only increase the speed of the accumulation of true energy, but if you can save half of the time on it, you can have more time to break through the big realm.
Moreover, the higher the realm, the longer it takes to accumulate true energy. After reaching the blood refinement realm, a breakthrough in a small realm can be counted in ten years! If it takes fifteen years to reach the peak of the twelfth level of body training, then naturally the more time can be used to hit the road to heaven!
Life is in a hurry, and a hundred years go by at the flick of a finger. How many years can be wasted?
Although Zhou Heng can get free energy from the Black Broken Sword, the Moon Shadow Heart Art doesn't have much effect on him at present, but who knows how long the black sword's ability can last?
Maybe it will be over after returning his ten years of penance to him!
Moreover, this set of exercises can also be passed on to Zhou Dinghai.
Zhou Dinghai has already delayed many years of training because of him, if he changes to the Moon Shadow Heart Art, then with Zhou Dinghai's talent, he can reach the twelfth level of body training in at most five years!
Zhou Heng put away the exercises, and his father will definitely return during the Chinese New Year.
There was still an hour or so before midnight, Zhou Heng dug a hole during this time, and buried the corpse. Since he obtained a top-quality skill from the other party, letting the dead rest in peace is the only thing he can do. Things to do.
If you are buried with the deceased, there is also the token, with the word Nine Spirits written on one side and Su on the other side. I don't know what material it is made of, and the whole body is purple.
Zhou Heng thought it was the identity token of the deceased, so he buried it together.
After doing all this, it was almost early morning, and he sat down on his knees, quietly waiting for the black broken sword to release energy.
hum!
At midnight, the black broken sword trembled slightly, and a huge force gushed out, filling Zhou Heng's entire body in an instant. He quickly unfolded the Moon Shadow Heart Art, frantically absorbing and refining these free energies.
In less than twenty minutes, all the energy had been purified by him. Zhou Heng opened his eyes, but was shocked!
A figure suddenly appeared on the mountain wall above the pond, and it was constantly moving!
someone? who!
Zhou Heng jumped up quickly, unsheathed his long sword with a clang, and put on a defensive state.
He looked up at the sky. Although the moon was high in the sky, the cliff was so steep that it was impossible for a person to stand on it. Therefore, this figure was definitely not projected from above.
Could it be that it is reflected from under the water?
Zhou Heng suddenly felt unimaginable. People swimming underwater are completely different from walking. The figure is definitely walking, not swimming!
Who can walk under water?
water ghost?
