Chapter 298 Shortcuts (8)

Li Ming smiled helplessly and said, "No matter what, I'd better go in and take a look. Yang Ping is also a master-level figure of the generation. It's a bit too bad to let him bury him here. I'd better do my best."

Hou Qing nodded, walked around the pavilion for most of the day, and kept muttering. Since he met him, Li Ming had never seen him so cautiously. It can be imagined that the formation in front of him really gave him a headache.

About two or three hours later, Hou Qing stopped and smiled at everyone, "This is the first time I have seen such an exquisite formation, which is very complicated, and it took me a long time to work hard. Now it's OK. Follow me and walk with my footprints. Don't make any mistakes, otherwise I will have to spend a lot of effort to save you."

Under Hou Qing's leadership, everyone lined up in a long line and entered the formation. It was said that the scene that appeared in front of everyone was very common dense forest scenery, towering trees and low bushes, and there was nothing worth noting. However, Li Ming knew that this was all because Hou Qing led them through the most correct path, otherwise, the scene that appeared in front of them would not be known.

After walking on this road for more than an hour, everyone's eyes darkened, and a dark forest suddenly appeared. There was no five fingers in the forest, and there was no light on the top of their heads. Suddenly, everyone became panicked. Even Lin Lingfeng couldn't help but scream: "How could this happen? Lao Hou, are you the ones who led the way?"

Hou Qing's voice came from the front: "Everyone stands in place and don't move. I'll destroy this formation and come back. This is a killing formation. Don't move your steps."

Hearing what he said, everyone present was as if they were facing a great enemy. They stood there and did not dare to move, for fear of falling into this terrible dark formation. For a moment, heavy breathing filled the ears of these people.

After standing like this for more than ten minutes, a dazzling light came from above, making everyone's eyes tingle for a moment. At the same time, Hou Qing's voice sounded again: "Okay, you can come over with confidence. It's relatively safe here."

Looking for this sound, everyone forced their eyes to walk towards him step by step. As soon as they took a few steps, an empty flat land appeared in front of everyone.

Li Ming suddenly felt that he seemed to have returned to the Tianshan Ranch. The scene in front of him and where was this imagination. There were faint white clouds floating on the blue sky, and the sunlight gently spread on the grass like a green carpet. The breeze blew gently, and it was so soft on his face.

"This place is an eye of the formation." Hou Qing walked to Li Ming and introduced to him: "On the surface, this is a dead array that must be killed, but there is a key array eye in the middle of the dead array. This array eye is a real paradise on earth. In this place, spring is all year round. Look in the distance, there are flocks of sheep and deer, and all kinds of animals. Living here is really pleasant. If Yang Ping could pass through the dead array outside and enter here, I can guarantee that he will still be alive. However, if he doesn't understand the formation at all, there is no way to enter."

After listening to Hou Qing's explanation, Li Ming let out a long roar towards the sky.

At this time, his internal strength had already reached a certain level. This long roar shocked the leisurely and comfortable animals in the distance and ran around. I believe that Yang Ping would definitely be able to hear it if he was here.

However, half a day passed, and there was still no movement in the distance.

Li Ming sighed lightly, looked at the endless grassland reluctantly, and said lonely: "It seems that there is no hope. If Yang Ping could master the formation, he would not fall into this place. Let's go back, we have tried our best."

Everyone re-entered the dense forest along the road when they came. This place should have been pitch black, but after being destroyed by Hou Qing, the dark and terrifying scene had disappeared. The sunlight above the head was scattered on the ground through the mottled leaves, illuminating the forest that had been in the dark.

Everyone's footsteps made a rustling sound when they stepped on the thick fallen leaves. Suddenly, a discordant sound came into everyone's ears.

Everyone present had deep internal strength, so of course they would not let go of this sound. Lin Lingfeng first reacted and rushed towards the direction where the sound was emitted like lightning.

When everyone rushed to him, they saw him looking at a hole on the ground in a daze.

The hole on the ground is not very big, but it is enough to drill into it alone. There is a pile of rotten soil around the hole, which seems to be left behind when digging the hole.

At this moment, there were slight knocks coming from the hole.

Everyone looked at each other and exchanged a few surprised eyes. Then, Lin Lingfeng raised his palm and was about to hit him.

"Wait a minute." The old chef suddenly called him and said, "Let me do it. Your strength has not reached the level of being able to send and receive freely. If you take a heavy move, it may lead to a big mistake."

Lin Lingfeng glared at the old chef unhappily, but he still retreated to the side honestly. The old chef walked to the entrance of the cave and stretched out his palm and waved it towards the entrance of the cave.

Suddenly, the soil around the entrance of the cave disappeared without a trace. The entrance of the cave, which was originally more than one person, suddenly turned into a big pit. At the bottom of the pit, a black man was struggling to cover his eyes, trying hard to see clearly what was happening above.

"Yang Ping!" Although this man was covered in dark mud and as thin as a dry mummy, Li Ming could still recognize him at a glance.

Hearing Li Ming's call, the man tried hard to turn his head and struggled to open his eyes, but he looked around in vain, as if he could no longer see where Li Ming was.

Malin and the Saint-Hand King jumped down with Table Bufan, helped Yang Ping up together, and jumped out of the big pit.

Li Ming took the lead and grabbed Yang Ping's wrist in his hand, putting his two fingers on his pulse door, and found that although Yang Ping looked very weak, his body still had no major damage. His pulse was beating smoothly, which was completely different from his surface. It seemed that Yang Ping really had a good time.

The old chef came over and gently stroked his back, and injected some internal strength into him. Suddenly, Yang Ping, who was still shaking just now, was able to speak: "Is it the emperor? Is it the old slave? Didn't he hear it wrong? Was the emperor calling me just now?"

Li Ming gently held his arm and said softly: "It's me, Yang Ping, I'm here to save you. I'm really happy to see you safe and sound."

A tear actually flowed out from Yang Ping's dry eyes. He struggled to kneel down in the direction of Li Ming, and a dry voice came out of his mouth: "I thank the emperor. You have come here in person to save the old slave. How dare you take it? Even if you are crushed to pieces, you will not be able to repay the emperor's grace."

"Okay, you get up first." Li Ming helped Yang Ping up and said softly: "You are still very weak now. You should not talk too much. You should thank me when you recover."

Speaking of this, he turned his head and said to Hou Qing: "Master, Yang Ping's body needs to recover for a while. It seems that he has been hiding in the cave for half a year. The long-term darkness has temporarily blinded his eyes and it takes some time to adapt. This way, the place just now is very suitable and there is plenty of food. Let's take a break there for half a month. I also took this opportunity to practice my newly realized internal skills well."

Since he understood the internal skills of the Golden War God, Li Ming always wanted to find a place to practice it well, but he had many things waiting for him every day, so he couldn't take any time. Even if he returned to the palace, there were still many trivial matters waiting for him to deal with. Therefore, it would be better to take advantage of the skills he came out to integrate the internal skills of the Golden War God in this place.

Hou Qing and Lin Lingfeng discussed for a while, then nodded and said, "You are right. Yang Ping's physical condition does not allow us to continue rushing. Just as you said, stay in this place for half a month. On the one hand, let Yang Ping recover his health, on the other hand, we are both very curious and want to see what kind of martial arts you have learned from the Temple of the Temple. No one has anything to do."

Li Ming smiled and shook his head, saying, "Master, don't worry, they are all here with me. What can happen? I'm very relieved to have Gao Wei in the court. Nothing will happen if I go back half a month later."

Seeing that he was so persistent, Hou Qing stopped saying anything and took everyone back to the paradise.

With everyone's efforts, they found a clear spring in this place, and then they built several temporary housing next to the spring. Originally, this place was always spring and the climate was very suitable. There was no need to build a house. Everyone is a martial arts man, so camping in the open air is no problem, but in terms of habit, living rooms are more comfortable.

After everyone settled down, Li Ming asked for a small wooden house alone, and went in and started practicing.

Li Ming had already memorized the introductory tips of the Golden God of War, and his practice had been simulated dozens of times in his mind. Therefore, all he had to do at this time was to put the methods he thought of in his mind into implementation.

The key point of this set of internal skills is how to absorb the energy of nature and convert the absorbed energy into its own internal energy. For Li Ming and even for the entire martial arts world, this is a brand new field. Without anyone's guidance, the difficulty of Li Ming's cultivation can be imagined.

At first, he didn't dare to make too rush. According to the method in the mantra, he used his own internal force to slowly suck a little external energy from one fingertip.

A strange feeling filled his heart. The external energy was so different from his own internal energy, just like a ball of flame that could not be extinguished into a bowl of water, causing the inside of his body to involuntarily surge out of his fingertips, fighting against the invasion of the energy with all his strength.

Li Ming tried his best to restrain his internal force, slowly directed the energy into his dantian, and then used the mental method carved on the big stone to assimilate it with his internal force bit by bit.

The first experience was strange and very thrilling. If you are careless, you may become obsessed with it. After two or three hours of thrilling process, Li Ming finally converted the little bit of external energy that was sucked into his body into part of his own internal energy.

Although this little increase in internal strength did not change much, Li Ming's joy in his heart was conceivable. At least he knew that the energy in nature could be directly applied by humans through special methods. From then on, he would no longer have to absorb energy by digesting food. This would be a milestone in human evolution.

With the success of the first step, Li Ming began to try to inhale more energy into his body. In the beginning, he only dared to inhale energy through his fingers. The area where his fingers come into contact with nature is limited, which allows him to better control the speed of energy inhalation. This is very necessary for the beginning.

It took six days before Li Ming truly mastered the entire set of internal skills and began to increase his energy intake bit by bit. As the inside became deeper and deeper, the time for energy conversion became shorter and shorter. In the end, he was completely immersed in this strange world and completely forgot about the time and things outside.

I don’t know how long it took, but Li Ming gradually felt that the inhalation of external energy was no longer as easy as it was at the beginning. Although his internal strength has increased several times more than at the beginning, it has become more and more difficult to intake energy, just as if the external energy has been drained by him. Every time he inhaled it into his body, it was only a little bit.

When Li Ming discovered this special situation, he did not dare to continue practicing. After converting the last bit of energy, he closed his strength and opened his eyes.

A cold air attacked him, causing him to shivered involuntarily. While using his skills to keep the cold, he stood up and pushed open the wood door and walked out.

The scene outside made him stunned. The ground, which was supposed to be green grass, was covered with yellow and yellow everywhere. The spring water next to him had completely frozen. Looking around, the sun above his head became dim and the greenness he saw when he came in was already missing. The animals everywhere had also become without a trace.

Hou Qing once said that this place should be as warm as spring, and the climate will not change much at any time. However, everything Li Ming saw completely overturned Hou Qing's conclusion. Could it be that Hou Qing was also misleading?

Confusedly retracted his gaze, Li Ming looked at several other wooden houses not far away, but saw everyone sitting next to a huge fire staring at him.
