Chapter 25: The Ox Demon's First Show of Power
After feeling the "Dao is one foot tall, the devil is one foot tall", Hong Yi realized that even with the "Maitreya Sutra", which is the supreme sutra for cultivating the divine soul, it can only guarantee the safety of one's own divine soul, but practicing visualization can't be accomplished overnight.
To subdue the various delusions that arose in the visualization, and to temper the divine soul to be resilient, there was only one means, and that was to rely on one's own great power of determination.
With great wisdom and great determination to subdue all the demons that come out of the inner visualization, one can finally achieve great success, and only then can one go further in one's cultivation.
There are no shortcuts.
Although the conception of the Maitreya Sutra is the essence of all dharmas, between the conceptions, it contains the white bone conception, the Shura conception, the Jade Maiden conception, the ascension conception and other kinds of tests, but the further it goes, the stronger the divine soul is, the stronger the conception of the devil, the illusions are endless and may even be really transformed into a solid body. So the more this Maitreya Sutra was cultivated to the end, it was ten times, hundred times, and a thousand times harder than ordinary cultivators.
"If this volume of the Maitreya Sutra doesn't have the assistance of the Maitreya Phase, unless there is a truly great wisdom and great determination of the saints, even if how highly skilled one comes to cultivate it, he or she will have to go off the deep end and suffer damage to his or her soul. But even with this Maitreya Phase, cultivating it still depends on one's own determination."
This was the first time that Hong Yi failed to cultivate the Maitreya Sutra.
After failing, he certainly wouldn't give up. From the first to the fifteenth day of the Chinese New Year, he nourished his spirit and practiced martial arts every day during the day, and contemplated his divine soul at night.
After the sixty kilograms of bow power of chestnut wood ox horn silk bow was cracked, he went to "Guan lice number" to buy a eighty kilograms of bow power of top wood ox tendon bow, still open the bow to practice the power.
Eighty kilograms of topwood oxbow is much more difficult to pull open than silk bow.
Especially in the winter, the cattle tendon bow by the influence of the climate, hard and difficult to pull open, said eighty pounds of bow power, in fact, there are one hundred pounds.
But this is difficult the more difficult to open, for Hong Yi practicing power, the greater the effect of practicing power.
Every time to transport enough power to open the bow, Hong Yi feel like iron in the furnace fire hammering, forging general. The large pieces of flesh, small pieces of flesh, large tendons, small tendons, in the process of opening the bow again and again, twisted into a strand, twisted into a twine.
In the process of practicing opening the bow to shoot righteousness, Hong Yi also comprehended that his own body contains many, many invisible bows, his arms are a bow, his back is a bow, his waist is a bow, and his legs are a bow.......
The more the sinews and flesh on his body were practiced, the purer and more powerful they became.
The impurities in the iron went away by a thousand hammers, gradually transforming into refined steel.
"When my father was young, he could open a nine stone Falling Star Bow for continuous shooting, it's just too ........"
After pulling the eighty kilograms of ox-band bow, Hong Yi again felt a fearful dread of his father, Marquis Wu Wen Hong Xuan Ji's strength.
Nine stone weight bow, that is, now Hong Yi's hands take a total of ten ox tendon bows, violently, all pulled open, and then shot in succession.
Imagine the bow in his hand into ten, to pull all at once, Hong Yi felt chills and trembles, not to mention the continuous firing.
Day in the daytime closed door practicing martial arts reading, night observation in the day by day.
Hong Yi was completely intoxicated into such days, feeling unprecedentedly happy. His strength was also increasing day by day, and his mind was becoming clearer day by day.
It wasn't until a whole first month had passed that he had to get out of such days.
Because the clan's Zongxue Academy was about to start.
As the first month passed, the Jade Capital City also returned to its usual peace and tranquility.
"This month was too quiet and comfortable, not a single person actually came to disturb me, it must have been because father met me and let me prepare for the imperial examinations without fear. However, this month's cultivation, there is still no breakthrough, the divine soul has not been practiced to the point of day-traveling, and the martial arts cultivation of tendons and flesh feels almost done, but it is just difficult to carry and bulge the skin membrane, not to mention starting to cultivate the Tiger Demon Bone Refining Fist."
Hong Yi summarized the gains from this month.
A person who reads three times a day and understands the gains and losses, the same can be applied to practicing martial arts and practicing the soul.
In a period of one full month, although he had not been able to make a breakthrough, he had become more consolidated and refined, and had gradually reached the edge of a breakthrough.
"Just three months time, the change has turned the world upside down ......" Hong Yi thought, he three months ago, was still a bookworm with no hands, but now he has become a person who carries the "Maitreya Sutra", the Ox Demon Vigorous Fist, the Tiger Demon Practicing Bone Fist, and is able to open the eighty kilograms of ox sinew bow, and is able to come out of his shell and swim at night. Although he still did not have the power to change his situation, he had the hope to become stronger step by step.
Three months ago, there was only a meager hope Hong Yi was not discouraged and gave up, now there is a great hope he has more confidence.
Early in the morning.
Hong Yi packed up the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, wrapped in a bag, and walked towards the family Zongxue.
Marquis Wu Wen's family school is located in the east of Yujing City, close to the court's State Scholarship University, about five or six miles away from Hong's house.
When Hong Yi packed up his things and left the house, the entire male children in the Marquis House also left the house one after another. In addition to Hong Yi's more than ten siblings, there are also some partial relatives, as well as accompanying maids, boys, schoolboys and so on.
Early in the morning, from the marquis house to go out of the school is a traffic, as if catching the same, is also a big landscape.
The marquis family clan school did extremely well, close to the Imperial College of the State Prison, please is also inside the famous scholar. Prestigious scholars, or experienced in several civil wars, experienced in the imperial examinations of the Hanlin scholar.
Because Marquis Hong Xuanji was an old scout, he had been in the dynasty for many years, he had a wide network of people, and also had a group of literati cliques, which led to the family's Zongxue almost becoming a large academy, which was famous in the Yujing City.
Hong family's Zongxue, even more than some of the princes, dukes of the family Zongxue are much more famous, many people have pulled the relationship to come in to study.
A morning from the marquis in the middle of out of the male children, are riding in a carriage, at least have two or three accompanied by reading schoolboys carrying things accompanied. Only Hong Yi is a single person, there is no boy to accompany the reading, there is no boy to wait.
However, after getting used to it, Hong Yi felt that he was alone and clean.
After walking for a few columns of incense, Hong Yi looked at the tall university houses of the State Children's Prison in the distance.
"Hm? Isn't that Princess Luo Yun studying in the State Scholarship?" Hong Yi looked at the iron trigger finger on his thumb and suddenly remembered the princess that he met by chance in the "Guan lice ship".
"Get out of the way, get out of the way ......."
A rush of hoofbeats and shouts came from the road behind him, the pedestrians on the road dodged one after another, even the people who were slowly driving their carriages to school heard this sound and rushed to the side of the road.
Hong Yi also heard this sound and hurriedly came back to his senses, frowned and looked back.
Just at this moment, two horses behind him had rushed over, on the horse was a male son wearing a hat, wearing a satin jacket, with a jade pendant around his waist, dressed in a flashy manner. There is also a also wear satin damask followers.
These two people riding skills are very superb, all the way over the horse, rampage, imposing, but did not hit people and things.
Hong Yi recognized at a glance, these two people are exactly the third house Mrs. Rong's family Hong Gui and his cousin Rong Pang discussed to give himself a lesson.
As if they saw Hong Yi, these two people smiled grimly on their horses, looked at each other, and with one vertical rein, their speed immediately accelerated, and they galloped behind Hong Yi in a few moments.
"Get out of the way."
Seeing Hong Yi who seemed to be scared silly, Rong Pan laughed out loud, and as he swept past, he raised his horse whip in vain and smacked down hard.
Of course he wouldn't really whip, but only wanted to scare Hong Yi into becoming a rolling gourd.
One person and one horseman impacted violently, the momentum is enough to scare people into rolling.
"Eh?"
Hong Yi's eye gaze chilled as he angled his body and sidestepped the horse's charge. At the same time, he put all his strength into a Bull Demon Top Horn and punched the horse's stomach with both fists.
Hong Yi used his entire body's strength to strike these double fists, and the whistling of his fists breaking through the air could be heard inside his ears!
Rumble!
The horse rushed past the side, enough to rush more than ten paces away, and all of a sudden, it fell to the ground with a loud bang and rolled over a few times.
At the same time, the Rongbang on the horse was lurched out by this huge inertia all at once, landing on the ground with a broken head.
The speed of this change is very fast, a lot of people only see RongBan on horseback rushed over, and then with the whip virtual whip HongYi, HongYi let through, the horse suddenly out of control, rushed to fall out.
