The heavens begin with the Dharma of absorbing power

"The Yuan Jing tempered by the Three Treasures of Jing, Qi and Shen can be more nourishing than ordinary Qi and Blood medicines. It can be used to temper the body and strengthen the body. It is very effective..."

In the smoke-filled dense forest, Xu Xin silently realized the changes in his body. Dozens of Yuan soldiers were killed by him using the method of absorbing energy. Although only a small part of the Yuanjing was tempered and absorbed, it also brought him many benefits. The considerable progress also gave him a deeper understanding of this magical skill.

The method of absorbing energy can absorb the energy and spirit of others to strengthen oneself. The energy and spirit of living beings are the most original things and have endless wonderful uses.

Taoism has the so-called Three Elements, which are the three lights of the sun, moon and stars in the sky, the three essentials of water, fire and earth on the earth, and the three things of essence, energy and spirit in humans. Among the three elements of Yuan Jing, Yuan Qi, and Yuan Shen, Yuan Jing is the root of everything. Yuan Qi and Yuan Shen are both obtained through the cultivation and improvement of Yuan Jing.

The practice of warriors is to strengthen the essence and refine the inner energy. Those with advanced cultivation can practice in the spiritual field, so there are not a few Yuan Qi and Soul in the body. Those with insufficient cultivation and some ordinary people have more Yuan Essence in their bodies.

Xu Xin absorbed dozens of people this time, and most of what he harvested was the tempered Yuan Jing. The Yuan Jing strengthened his body, and his Qi and blood were greatly nourished. The Qi and blood in his body flowed, and there was a hint of tigers roaring and dragons roaring. Voice.

"Herodus~"

Waves of horse neighing came from a distance. Xu Xin quickly restrained his energy, blood and voice, and turned into a ghost in the thick smoke to lurk over. However, he quickly stopped his murderous intention, because the one who came over was not Yuan Yuan. Soldiers, but those rebels wearing red scarves.

A big man with a red scarf on his head rode a horse into the forest and ordered his men to put out the fire. Looking at the Yuan soldiers and unmanned horses with only a few corpses left everywhere, the man's eyes moved, he clasped his fists toward the heights, and shouted loudly: "Zou Pusheng, under the command of King Zhou of Yuanzhou, would like to thank you for your help..."

"King of Zhou? Zou Pusheng? Yuanzhou's rebel army, Peng Yingyu's apprentice?"

Xu Xin was about to leave, but when he heard the name, he couldn't help but feel a move in his heart.

After putting on a slight disguise, he walked out of the darkness and observed Zou Pusheng's voice from a distance. I saw him jumping off the horse, walking steadily, his eyes bright, and his temples on both sides bulging. It was obvious that he had a certain level of internal and external strength.

However, Xu Xin is now considered a little master, and he is familiar with the surrounding terrain. In this dense forest, it is difficult to take advantage of the number of people, and his safety is fully guaranteed.

Xu Xin and Zou Pusheng met, exchanged names and exchanged pleasantries. Of course, Xu Xin couldn't tell his real name. No one in the world has many vests. He calls himself Wanxiu. As the saying goes, if you keep your word, everything will be over.

"Brother Wan, please don't mind if the conditions are inconvenient and a bit rough!"

Zou Pusheng ordered a banquet to be held in honor of Xu Xin. The wine, meat, vegetables and rice left by the soldiers of the Yuan Dynasty filled a large table.

Xu Xin briefly moved his chopsticks for a few times and then stopped. He was not very hungry. Zou Pusheng and other rebels had gone through a big battle today, and they were hungry, so they gorged themselves on the food and wine as soon as they were served.

Xu Xin noticed that Zou Pusheng and some rebel leaders ate a lot. Each of them had a big bowl of white rice and vegetables, and almost no meat.

Zou Pusheng noticed Xu Xin looking at them, laughed and explained: "Brother Wan, we worship Bodhisattvas and don't eat meat."

The Ming Cult, which is the righteous way of the world and the demon sect in the mouth of the imperial court, has extremely strict rules and prohibits eating meat and fish. This has been the case since the Tang Dynasty.

At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, Fang La, the leader of the Ming Cult, started an uprising in eastern Zhejiang. At that time, the officials and people called it the "eating vegetable cult", which has been passed down for hundreds of years. Since the Song Dynasty, the government has been extremely strict with the Ming Cult, and people in the martial arts world have also been very discriminatory towards it, denouncing it as a demon sect.

For this reason, Mingjiao believers act more and more secretively, eat vegetarian food every day, pretend to worship Buddha and Bodhisattva to outsiders, and dare not reveal their identities easily.

Of course, compared to most of the so-called righteous ways of martial arts, the Mingjiao, which carries the banner of anti-Yuan, can, to a certain extent, better represent the "right way". But that doesn't mean that all Mingjiao people are good people.

There are scum disciples in the righteous sect of martial arts, and there are also some real demons in the Ming Cult, such as Xie Xun who framed the murderer and Wei Yixiao who sucked people's blood. Yin Susu has killed many people in his family. How can Yin Tianzheng, the white-browed eagle king, be a good person if he can teach such a daughter?

Of course, compared to high-level officials such as the Twin Envoys of Light and the Four Dharma Kings who were "not doing their jobs properly", the Five Sans and their disciples who were developing rebel armies to fight against the Yuan Dynasty in various places were indeed people worth making friends with.

Zhou Ziwang, who was the king of Yuanzhou, and Zou Pusheng, who was in front of Xu Xin, were both disciples of Peng Yingyu, one of the Wusan people. Xu Xin is now making friends with Zou Pusheng, mainly because he wants to get some information he wants to know from this brother Zou.

"Brother Wan, we have a close friendship. I won't say any polite words. I would like to invite you to join my senior brother, King Zhou, and raise the flag of righteousness together..."

After drinking and eating, Zou Pusheng put down his bowls and chopsticks, extended an invitation to Xu Xin, and made it clear that he could introduce his master Peng Yingyu to Xu Xin. It is impossible to say that the two of them can become disciples of the same sect in the future.

Xu Xin had a good impression of Zou Pusheng, Zhou Ziwang, Peng Yingyu and other rebels who held high the banner of anti-Yuan, but this did not mean that he wanted to join them. Not to mention his grievances with the White-browed Eagle King, he is not optimistic about the current Yuanzhou Zhou Ziwang Rebel Army.

Zhou Ziwang's rebel army seems to be huge, sweeping across the south of the Yangtze River, but it is too early to proclaim the king and found the country. It is already on the blacklist of Emperor Yuan Ting and will definitely be targeted. The possibility of success is basically zero. He is just a pioneer for the king. .

"Brother Zou, I'm planning to go north to join my relatives, but I'm afraid I can't..."

Xu Xin responded to Zou Pusheng's invitation with some nonsense. Although the latter was a little disappointed when he heard what he said, he did not force it.

Xu Xin discussed some things with Zou Pusheng again, and learned from him some information and situations in Jiangnan, as well as the distribution of martial arts forces in various places, and made some plans for the next actions.

"Brother Wan, the green mountains will not change and the green waters will always flow. We will meet again someday!"

At dusk, the red sun gradually set in the west, and Xu Xin, Zou Pusheng and the rebels parted ways.

Xu Xin watched the group of rebels tied with red scarves go away, and a moment later they transformed into ghostly figures and disappeared into the dense forest.

A few days later, in the city of Longxing (Nanchang), a beggar from outside used two pieces of sesame cake to sneak into the crowd of flowers and became a member of the city's beggars.

Xu Xin and Zou Pusheng had a conversation and did not dare to rush on their way. After arriving in Nanchang City, they settled down and became a beggar.

The journey north from Jiangxi to Kunlun is difficult, and even if he gets to Kunlun, it will not be easy to find the secret book of Nine Yang Magic.

Xu Xin has no shortage of magical skills. One skill of absorbing energy is enough to benefit him for life. In the war-torn Jiangxi, it is normal for people to disappear and die. It is the most suitable environment for practicing the method of absorbing energy. Xu Xin naturally wants to make good use of it. This opportunity.
