Chapter 160 Danfeng's Mountain Protection Formation
Qin Ran found that Li Shiyin was a little strange these days, a little... too diligent.
It's not that Li Shiyin was lazy before, but that Li Shiyin these days was too diligent and seemed a bit desperate in practice.
Get up in the morning and practice swordplay all morning; meditate at noon; fight Zhui Feng in the afternoon, the two of them often fight for the whole afternoon; in the evening, go to the training room to practice.
When Qin Ran was doing research in the study at night, he could see the starry sky above Shiyin's star training room from the window, and the stars were shining all night long.
Then when he got up in the morning, he didn't know when Shiyin had started practicing sword practice again.
"What happened to Shiyin?" Qin Ran asked Long Qiqi, who was growing medicine behind him, "Did someone offend her? Or is she going to go on a three-year appointment? Or is she going to explore a secret place?"
Long Qiqi looked up at the sky, where dragons roared and tigers roared, swords flew across the sky, figures flashed back and forth, and the sound of "rumbling" battles kept coming.
She shook her head: "That's your apprentice. You don't even know what she is doing. How can I know?"
"You are both girls! We are closer," Qin Ran said.
"Hiss..." Long Qiqi gritted his teeth and simulated the sound of a snake exhaling, "I am a snake!"
"That's also a female." Qin Ran said, "I think the gap between men and women is bigger than the gap between humans and snakes."
"I don't know. Ask her yourself, or ask that stupid tiger. He should know." Long Qiqi turned his attention to his herbal seeds and muttered with self-pity.
"They are all geniuses, and I am mediocre. We are not from the same world, and we cannot talk about the same topic. I am thinking about how to feel Qi, and they are thinking about how to form pills; I am thinking about how to live, and they are thinking about leapfrogging. fighting.
"When they can tear the real immortal apart with their own hands, the grass on my grave will be three feet tall."
Qin Ran looked at Long Qiqi, feeling a little pity for her, and asked: "You still haven't realized Qi?"
"This kind of ability or inability is determined by talent. I am in despair." Long Qiqi took a small shovel to cover the seeds with soil, feeling as if he was closing a coffin for himself.
"You have a good grasp of the theory, so you can't comprehend it..." Qin Ran thought for a while and said to Long Qiqi,
"In the final analysis, I think you think too much. In practice, we must pay attention to the absence of distracting thoughts, purity and emptiness, and an empty mind. Ah, you may need this paragraph, 'Bodhi has no tree, and the mirror is not a stand; there is no one in the beginning. Things, where do you get dust?'"
“What is Bodhi and what kind of mirror is it?”
"Bodhi is a tree..." Qin Ran explained, "This means that there are no weird thoughts in people's minds and sea of consciousness. They are all external things. They are caused by thinking too much. As long as you stick to your original intention, you can have a clear mind. This is the Buddhist theory..."
"What is Buddha?" Long Qiqi rolled her eyes at Qin Ran. This man was stupid and talking nonsense. She was too lazy to pay attention to him and continued to dig a hole and plant herbs.
"Alas!" Qin Ran shook his head, stopped talking, and continued to draw patterns on the branches of the Demonic Devouring Willow.
The so-called unintentional planting of willows creates shade. Willow branches are really easy to plant. Even though it is a ninth-level monster-devouring demon willow, its willow branches were planted by Kieran through cuttings.
Of course there is a reason for this. Firstly, it is located where the eye of the mountain guarding formation is, and all the spiritual energy leaked from the spiritual veins at the bottom of the lake gathers towards it; secondly, Qin Ran feeds it a lot of the wind of life. .
After being nourished by spiritual energy for a long time, it came to life, and roots sprouted from the branches under the soil.
"I hope it's not that pole-devouring demon willow tree, it's too dangerous..." Qin Ran thought to himself as he drew the formation pattern, "But if it really is, the ninth-level demon is not bad..."
After drawing the formation pattern, he cast a spell and the formation pattern disappeared.
He looked up at Li Shiyin and Zhui Feng, who were fighting in the thick of battle. After a little analysis, Li Shiyin probably couldn't beat Zhui Feng.
He didn't care and turned back to Long Qiqi: "After you plant the snow grass, go to the research building to prepare a medicinal bath for yourself."
"Oh..." Long Qiqi responded.
Qin Ran came to the locust tree and took out the spirit-suppressing tree. The spirit-suppressing tree was also engraved with formation patterns. He said sorry to the locust tree, then dug a hole in the trunk and placed the spirit-suppressing tree. Go in.
After covering the hole in the tree trunk, he went to the back mountain waterfall and hid the Qingyuan Stone under the waterfall.
The formation base, formation patterns, and formation eyes have all been arranged. Qin Ran had been planning for this mountain-protecting formation for half a year, and today, the preparations are complete.
After hiding the formation base, he returned to the formation's eye. Long Qiqi had finished planting the Abyss Snow Grass and returned to the research building. The battle between Tianzhui Feng and Li Shiyin was also coming to an end. He waited for a while, and finally lost because Li Shiyin ran out of mana.
"Don't have a long memory!" He shook his head and commented, "Silly and stupid..."
Zhuifeng dropped Li Shiyin to the ground and threw the exhausted Li Shiyin on the grass by the lake. He lay on the edge and stuck out his tongue to dissipate heat.
Kieran walked over, looked at the girl lying on the grass, and asked, "Do you know why you can't beat Zhui Feng?" Hearing Kieran's voice, Li Shiyin turned over with difficulty, squinted her eyes at Kieran, and said feebly : "Because, Zhui Feng is better than me."
The girl's face was red from exhaustion and she was covered in sweat. Qin Ran looked down at her and asked, "Do you remember what the master said outside the mist?"
She remembered nothing... At that time, she only thought about how handsome the master was, only wanted to smell the master's scent, only thought about hugging the master tightly, and being close to the master. She didn't remember the master's words... Moreover, in her In her subconscious memory, although she liked her master very much, she really didn't like her master's ungrateful fighting style.
So she shook her head feebly.
The sweaty girl was lying weakly on the grass. There was indeed unlimited temptation. Qin Ran couldn't bear to scold her, so he said again:
"Fighting, two words, one horizontal and one vertical, the winner stands, the loser lies down. The so-called battle is just to defeat the enemy. And in order to defeat the enemy, you must find the enemy's weakness."
"No one is perfect..." When he said this, he suddenly thought of Su Changqing. This guy seemed to have no weaknesses. "People always have weaknesses. As long as you find the weaknesses, no matter how powerful the enemy is, you will have a chance to win.
"The gap between you and Zhui Feng is not that big. It is entirely possible for you to beat Zhui Feng. But you have never won once!
"Why can't we win? How can we win when the weak defeat the strong?"
When Qin Ran said this, Li Shiyin's distracted attention suddenly focused... Wasn't she fighting Song Ze with the weak against the strong? Is the master going to teach the weak to defeat the strong?
"All your efforts are accomplished in one battle. Use your own strengths to overcome the enemy's weaknesses. What are the strengths of sword cultivators? It is the extremely strong attack power, and it is your extreme attack power. Since you have already maxed out your attack power, why not use it again? What to do further? Find the enemy's weakness, concentrate all your strength on one sword, and defeat the enemy with one sword!"
Qin Ran taught, "The reason why the sword cultivator is liked by others has a lot to do with the fact that the weak can always defeat the strong. No matter when, no matter how big the gap is, the sword cultivator will always have the possibility of giving the enemy a fatal blow. The sword cultivator can always defeat the strong with the weak. Xiu always has a chance to win."
"Use your own strengths to overcome the enemy's weaknesses?" Li Shiyin opened her eyes and looked at the back of the master who left after the lecture, knowing that she might really have a chance to defeat Song Ze, "No matter how strong the golden elixir is in the mid-term, he can't stop it Can I strike with all my strength?"
There was a sword spirit in her eyes.
Qin Ran returned to the formation eye position and flew into the air from the head of the Extreme Devouring Demon Willow. He held the seal in his hand and used magic to connect the formation patterns he had carved on the Dan Peak. Then he shouted:
"open!"
Suddenly, clouds of smoke began to rise from the lake, and the entire Danfeng Peak was wrapped in smoke.
