On the Importance of Chinese Characters

No matter how stunned others are, Xiang Yanming only feels extremely happy. No matter how hard he tried in the past, the source technique that was considered difficult is now being used with his fingers. In a square inch of land, all the underground plant roots have become his eyes and ears, as if Thousands of troops and horses are dormant quietly, waiting for the general to give an order, and they will boil and attack.

This feeling is really fascinating. Xiang Yanming didn't realize the consumption of his source power at all. He stared at Lin Jing without blinking. With the support of Lin Jing, it became the toughest trap. The thick tree roots are like a brave assassin, responsible for the main attack, stabbing out from the ground abruptly, overturning the soil and chasing after Lin Jing's receding figure.

And these come next, and the more troublesome ones are those with poison.The most poisonous part of many plants in Tianze Realm is the roots buried deep in the ground. To be honest, the root system has always been a part that is often ignored by source magicians in wood control techniques. The above-ground parts of all plants are enough for everyone to use. Where will the mind of the underground part be moved.

Lin Jing looked at a bamboo basil suddenly with a whole body black and bright, without a trace of tiny miscellaneous roots quietly popping up from a near dead corner behind him, his face changed for a moment, bamboo basil is very poisonous and its poison is only three percent in the flowers and leaves, and the remaining seven percent is concentrated in the juice contained in the root system.

And now the shiny thing on the root system flying towards him is clearly the venom that was forced to the surface of the body!

The source force in Lin Jing's body suddenly soared, covering all his naked skin with a thick layer of source force shield, his right hand formed a palm, and with the palm wind of strong source force, he moved towards the root fan , push it to a safe distance.

However, the root system that was stained with venom never thought of being able to get close to him at all. The moment it was swept by the palm wind, the liquid rose up and flew towards Lin Jing with swift force.

Lin Jing had no choice but to retreat quickly, and behind him were countless roots that suddenly attacked from the ground. It could be said that there were tigers and wolves in the rear. Although it was not difficult to deal with, it was really tricky and annoying.

Lin Jing glanced at Xiang Yanming who was standing in front of the stands and seemed to have fallen into some kind of mysterious realm. The source force had been exhausted but he didn't know it. He sighed in his heart, and the source pattern in the sea of ​​consciousness lit up. The feet spread out, wherever the yellow source of light went, the control of the plants would easily change their masters.

Lin Jing stood with his hands behind his back, and the surrounding plants that were still flailing their teeth and claws became quiet at this moment, and stayed in place obediently. If you looked closely, you would find that their branches opened intentionally or unintentionally, covering Lin Jing's body. It is firmly protected in all directions.

At the moment when Lin Jing took control of the plant, Xiang Yanming only felt that the sea of ​​consciousness had been hit by something, and the indescribable feeling of mastery quickly receded from his heart like a tide, and a violent wave Instead, a feeling of weakness permeated the whole body, and there was a tingling pain in the sea of ​​consciousness.

Xiang Yanming's face was pale, he couldn't help but staggered twice and was about to fall forward, but fortunately the two juniors standing next to him quickly supported him, and Xiang Yanming's footsteps went limp, only then did he realize that the source force in his meridians had already Unknowingly, he was drained dry, and his spiritual power was also overrun.

Despite this, there was a wireless satisfied smile on his face, and his eyes were even more amazingly bright.

Since Qiyuan, Xiang Yanming has never felt so at ease for a moment. In the past, his wood control skills were not as good as those of other senior brothers. He has always been careful and focused on manipulating the origin skills, but no one has ever said anything about it. That kind of exhilaration of "the mountains and rivers of the world are under control" when using the source technique.

He thought it was because of his poor talent, so he could only hold his breath and practice wood control skills desperately. Others went to eat wine and tea, he was practicing, others read the storybook travel notes, he was still practicing, three volts On nine cold days, when others were lazy, he was still practicing.

Because of his lack of talent, he didn't even dare to distract himself from practicing other source arts. Even so, the source arts he used were still inferior to others, and the pain in his heart was beyond words.

It is precisely because of this that Xiang Yanming was able to realize his epiphany so quickly once he got Zhuang Yunzhou's guidance, took away unnecessary effort, and got closer to the essence of his own origin technique. Once the accumulation of these years broke out, this gave everyone It feels like a different person.

Although the consequences of overdraft are uncomfortable, hearing the surprise of others and feeling the admiration of everyone, Xiang Yanming only felt that there was a hot thing stuffed in his chest, and his whole body was full of satisfaction. No no no no.

The cold reception and supercilious glances he received all these years seemed to melt into smoke at this moment, and Xiang Yanming, feeling elated, could hardly control the urge to shout to the sky to vent, but now he didn't even have the strength to shout, I can only grin regretfully and keep laughing.

Zhuang Yunzhou handed him a elixir: "Xiang Shidi is working hard, let's adjust the breath first."

Zhuang Yunzhou personally delivered the medicine, and Xiang Yanming quickly broke free from the support of the two junior brothers, and took it with respectful hands: "Thank you, senior brother."

Zhuang Yunzhou smiled when he heard the words: "Brother, you don't have to be polite."

Xiang Yanming nodded gratefully, stuffed the elixir into his mouth and swallowed it, then sat down on the ground and resumed his breath adjustment.

Lin Jing walked back to the podium, looking at the young man sitting cross-legged, the complexity in his heart was beyond words.

It has been a hundred years since he was accepted by his master, because of the amazing physique of the wood system, Qiyuan is the innate second-generation wood-type origin technique bestowed by the ancestors of the wood system. He claims to have thoroughly studied the wood control technique. There are also junior sisters who don't make much progress no matter how much they practice, and he is only due to his talent at the time, and even thinks that the other party may not be suitable for practicing wood control.

Looking at it now, the wood origin technique is vast, deep and boundless, and he is complacent after only glimpsing the surface, which is really too arrogant.

Lin Jing turned his head to look at Zhuang Yunzhou again, and he was no longer the same as he was when he was invited because of face or even to ask Wang Daofeng to owe him a favor.With Xiang Yanming's example before him, who would doubt Zhuang Yunzhou's theory of branching origin technique of wood system?

Now, it is everyone in the world who uses the wood control technique to thank Zhuang Yunzhou!

"Great talent! This son's keenness in Yuanshu is really amazing!" In the main hall of Baopu Palace, Lin Fengzhi looked at the scene, so excited that he no longer cared about his dignity, and shouted.

"That's right, that's right. I knew that if the same kind of origin technique, even though the source pattern is ever-changing, there must always be some similarities. I have seen 360 wood-type origin techniques of nine people before, and the highest is the second one." generation, the lowest nine generations."

"The most common is the five generations, with a total of 120 three people. I found out after many comparative studies that some of the 120 three people's source pattern can find some similarities with others, but some are quite different from others. .”

"In fact, I also suspected that they are not the same kind of origin technique, but everyone can manipulate vegetation, but the power is different. I put this matter in my heart, and now I have a sudden understanding after hearing what this disciple said."

"If his words are spread, the entire Heavenly Spirit Clan will be exposed!" Lin Fengzhi looked at Zhuang Yunzhou in the field with a smile on his lips, and suddenly asked, "Whose apprentice is this child?" with?"

This child should be born to be his apprentice!Letting him be an apprentice to these people who only know how to use source arts to fight and kill is simply a waste of money!

Lin Fengzhi's eagerness to snatch his apprentice was so obvious that Mo Qingyan laughed for a moment, pointing to Wang Daofeng's divine sense pattern on the corner of his clothes and said slowly, "Yangming's apprentice."

Yang... Ming? !

The friend's name jumped out of Mo Qingyan's mouth, making Lin Fengzhi's smile froze instantly: "Is he a rubbing master?"

"Of course." Mo Qingyan nodded, seeing Lin Fengzhi's energy drop instantly, he encouraged him, "You and Yangming are good friends, maybe he is willing to share half of your apprentices with you?"

Lin Fengzhi glanced at him, but didn't speak, no one knew what he was thinking.

??

Zhuang Yunzhou didn't know that he was being missed again. During Xiang Yanming's breath adjustment, he resumed the lecture: "I don't need to explain now, everyone should have seen it. Brother Xiang's wood control skills seem to be no different from those of the gentlemen. , but it is actually not the case. That’s why I said that the origin techniques learned by Junior Brother Meng and Junior Brother Kong were not the same kind of Origin Technique.”

"Junior Brother Kong made it possible for us to use the traditional wood control technique of Baopu Palace. Junior Brother Meng..." Zhuang Yunzhou turned to Meng Changshi, "I guess Junior Brother Meng is very handy when it comes to manipulating a big tree with a trunk upright. When it is soft, soft and slanting grass and the like, the effect will not be so satisfactory."

Meng Chang's eyes widened in astonishment, his expression still didn't need others to ask, it already explained all the problems.

Most of the people in Baopu Palace who practice wood control are the word 'wood', which originally means tree, and it can also be used as a general term for woody plants. Speaking of which, it should not be so easy to use grass plants. However, there is an explanation in "Shuowen" that wood grows out of the ground, and everything with wood on its side belongs to the wood family.

Therefore, this leads to the word 'wood' which can control all plants.But seriously, the words 'plant' and 'plant' can really be regarded as wood control techniques.

The word "plant" has an extended meaning: extended to the whole plant body, generally referring to vegetation and plants.When the word 'zhi' is used as a noun, it means plant.

The Yuanshu used by Mengchang is the word "tree", and the original meaning of the word "tree" is the general name of woody plants.

Therefore, Mengchang used the word 'tree' in the same way as the word 'wood', always thinking that he could also manipulate grass plants well, such a thankless effort, how could he compare to Kong Xide?

"Could it be that I've been practicing wood control for more than fifty years, and it's wrong?" Meng Chang was able to be admired by Yifeng Da Neng, so he was naturally not a stupid person. During the part of the explanation, his complexion changed immediately, with a faint look of concern.

He didn't grow up in Baopu Palace since he was a child, but he was recommended by a chance encounter with a disciple of Baopu after he became famous. In the case of re-rubbing, I just practiced all the way up.

But now he has to be told that the origin technique he practiced is fundamentally wrong, and suddenly he has gotten into a dead end!

Zhuang Yunzhou hurriedly raised his voice and shouted: "Junior Brother Meng, don't think about it! If everything is wrong, how did you cultivate to the current level?!"

Meng Chang was awakened by this loud shout, and he was also a person with a firm will. He quickly recovered after being stunned by the impact for a while, and he bowed deeply to Zhuang Yunzhou: "Please teach me, brother."

Seeing him recovering, Zhuang Yunzhou breathed a sigh of relief, pondered for a while and said: "I personally thought that your source technique is also the branch source technique of wood control technique, and it is more aimed at this kind of upright plants with thick trunks. It came and fucked the grasses with little effect."

"Speaking of its wide range of uses, it actually doesn't have any advantages, not even comparable to Junior Brother Xiang's 'root' origin technique. However, we wood masters will always carry some tree and grass plants that we are good at. In this regard Just pay attention."

Meng Changshi's complexion became a little bit better now. He only believed [-]% to [-]% of Zhuang Yunzhou's words in his heart. Whether it is true or not, he still needs to do more experiments.

If what Senior Brother Zhuang Yunzhou said is true...then he will consider washing away the source technique he is currently using and re-rubbing it.Even though it needs to be re-adjusted, but after all these years of practice, the previous theory has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it is not difficult to pick it up again.

Thinking of this, Mengchang directly pulled Kong Xide aside: "Brother, please help me." If he doesn't understand this matter, he really can't feel at ease, so why don't he take this opportunity to figure it out thoroughly today, Senior Brother Zhuang By the side, it is convenient to ask for advice if you need anything.

Not only Meng Chang thought this way, but also everyone in the audience thought the same way. Many people followed Kong and Meng, wanting to know the final result.

Now that Zhuang Yunzhou has divided the source arts into the branch of the wood-type source arts, Xiang Yanming and Meng Chang are two people. Those with keen minds in the audience have already noticed the beginning of this unprecedented revolution in source arts. If wood control arts really have source arts branch, what about the rest of the source arts?

Water control, wind control, fire control, soil control... and even other source arts that have similar attributes to wood control arts, do they have their own branch source arts?If this is true, how many spirit race people have used the branch origin technique as the main origin technique in these years?

Although such a big change before and after Xiang Yanming is very illustrative, it is not a single special case that can overthrow the public's perception.Many people in the audience could no longer keep their minds, and almost forgot about the other three people who were still standing on the stage.

"Junior Sister Luo Ping." Zhuang Yunzhou ignored the fluctuating hearts of the audience and called Luo Ping's name instead.

Ever since Xiang Yanming had undergone such a big change, the three of Luo Ping, who thought they were in the same situation as him, waited excitedly and apprehensively for Zhuang Yunzhou's sentencing. The four of them were summoned to the stage at the same time. of.

Now that she heard her name, Luo Ping's heart that had been held up all this time finally came to rest. She took a deep breath and replied loudly, "Yes, Senior Brother Zhuang."

The girl's face was stiff, and the way she looked at death as if she was at home really looked very funny, Zhuang Yunzhou couldn't help but smile: "Junior Sister Luo, don't be nervous."

"En." Luo Ping looked at Zhuang Yunzhou's gentle and handsome face, her cheeks blushed involuntarily, pinched the corner of her skirt nervously, and responded in a low voice.

Zhuang Yunzhou continued: "Junior Sister Luo, your source technique is actually very similar to Junior Brother Xiang."

Hearing this sentence, Luo Ping was already bursting with joy in her heart. The true power of Xiang Shidi's Yuanshu is already well known, even if it is similar to Xiang Shidi's Yuanshu, it must be good and can't escape up.

"Brother, could it be that my origin technique also targets the roots of plants?"

"That's not true." Zhuang Yunzhou shook his head, looked at Luo Ping who was a little disappointed, and added, "Your origin technique is more aimed at the branches of plants." The original meaning of the word 'branch' in Xiaozhuan is the branches that grow from the trunk of plants.

branch?Luo Ping looked up at the surrounding vegetation in an instant, those soft branches swaying slowly in the wind?

That's right, some understanding came to Luo Ping's heart, her eyes lit up suddenly, and she was full of eagerness to try.

Lin Jing was invited by Zhuang Yunzhou to judge. Naturally, he had to compare himself with the previous match, so he stood up and extended his hand politely to Luo Ping: "Junior Sister Luo, you are welcome."

Luo Ping smiled at him embarrassedly, two sweet dimples appeared on her slightly chubby round face, which made Lin Jing stunned for a moment.Although Luo Ping didn't know why he was fascinated, how could she miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and practice the origin technique without saying a word.

In the handful of seeds that Zhuang Yunzhou threw out, there are all kinds of plants, so they are tall and low together, and there are all kinds of angles.Rowling firmly remembered Zhuang Yunzhou's words, and tied her whole body and mind to those branches. Under the blessing of Origin Technique, those branches became weak and boneless.

In the eyes of everyone, in the square inch where Lin Jing is, all the vegetation is like a charming dancer, slowly swinging the branches rhythmically, which looks very pleasing to the eye, but there is a huge murderous intent hidden in this pleasing to the eye.

The inconspicuous grass stalk lying on the ground, like a winding water snake, snaked up from Lin Jing's feet in an instant, and bound his legs in the blink of an eye.

Lin Jing, who was on the right track, gave a wry smile. With Yuanli in his hand, he grabbed the twirling grass branch, tore it apart with all his strength, and threw it away.However, when he bent down and hadn't gotten up yet, the sound of the wind that seemed to have changed beside his ears, Lin Jing glanced away from the corner of his eye, and several cold lights came from diagonally behind him.

Lin Jing narrowed his eyes, turned his body half a point at a very awkward angle, dodged the first spear, then turned around against the spear, and at the same time raised his left foot while striking back with his right hand Kicking to the side, with the strength of kicking the branches, he rose into the air, and seven or eight thorny thorns collided fiercely under his body.

Luo Ping's eyes changed, and she made a grasping movement with her hands. The intersecting thorns instantly entangled with each other, turning into a thorny sword, stabbing straight at Lin Jing who was falling.

Lin Jing had expected it a long time ago, turning his palm into a fist, and the strong source force on his right hand directly hit the sword. However, when he touched the sword, the great sword that he thought would be shattered was crushed again. It scattered into branches in a short moment, and shook twice in a very rhythmic manner, taking most of his strength away without holding back.

Lin Jing couldn't help looking at Luo Ping at the side, only to see that she was gritting her teeth, her forehead was covered with sweat, and the focused eyes on her pale face seemed to be burning with fire.

It was the first time she used the source technique after she got the guidance. For her current low level of cultivation, it was already a surprise to achieve this level.

Lin Jing didn't know why, he seemed to be hit by something lightly in his heart, so he gently took control of Luo Ping, and slowly rolled up a elixir with a vine and sent it over. Did he notice that a beautiful vermilion flower just bloomed on the section of the vine where the elixir was rolled.

"Junior Sister Luo, take a rest, you are able to grasp the essence of this origin technique after you first received guidance, which is really admirable."

Lin Jing's smiling eyes contained sincere admiration. This evaluation from senior brother Xin Rongfeng really made Luo Ping's heart tremble. After being denied for a long time, Luo Ping no longer remembers when she was once praised by the elders as "savvy" Extraordinary' passed.

Now, this battle, this praise, revived her inner pride.Luo Ping pursed her lips, took the pill from Lin Jing, and smiled happily: "Thank you, brother."

This smile was like the first bloom of a spring flower, which made Lin Jing tremble again.

Zhuang Yunzhou saw the appearance of the two of them in his eyes, and thought slowly, I am afraid that in the near future, his conference will not only become a channel for low-level outer disciples to be promoted, but also become an occasion for many men and women to meet each other?

Among those present, he was probably the only master who had time to think about these minutiae. The others were already shocked by this other immediate change. First Xiang Yanming came, and then Luo Ping came out.

Could it be that senior brother Zhuang Yunzhou of Wangdao Peak has the ability to turn stones into gold? !

Up to now, with regard to Zhuang Yunzhou's theory of branching source art of the wood system, the balance in everyone's hearts has tilted from the one who believes it or not to the one who believes it.Meng Chang hadn't come back yet, but there were still two people called up by Zhuang Yunzhou!

??

The main hall of Baopu Palace was also completely silent at this time. After a long time, Wei Fang said, "What does Elder Lin think about this?"

Lin Fengzhi clasped his hands and was extremely excited: "The pool of water that hasn't fluctuated for a long time is finally going to be stormy."

The meaning of these words is self-evident, Gan Danqing lowered his eyes, and finally said: "Come on, call the masters of all peaks to discuss matters."
