Night without Borders

Chapter 205: Priceless New Silk Book [Two Chapters in One]

In the ruins of the thatched cottage, bamboo slips were scattered on the bluestone table. There had originally been a large pile of them, but most of them were burned when the woman ascended to heaven, leaving only a small portion.

Both young men were holding bamboo slips, extremely excited.

One of them laughed loudly, a little crazily, and spoke incoherently, wishing that God would punish him.

One of them had a face full of joy and fiery eyes as he stared at the bamboo slips, wishing he could perform martial arts and slap the sky.

"I understand, I get it, this is the way to go!" Xiao Wu clenched the bamboo slips tightly, all kinds of insights surged into his mind, and he nodded continuously.

Qin Ming felt that every bamboo slip was priceless and was a divine object.

At first, he was shocked because he saw calligraphy on silk. The handwriting was densely packed, as if it had gone through thousands of years, but was still clear. The various human-shaped patterns seemed to accumulate the vicissitudes of history.

The bamboo strips have turned yellow and are definitely antiques.

He thought that they were left by the ancestors, but after careful study and understanding, he found that these silk calligraphy were somewhat different, as if they had been refined and slightly modified.

Soon, he realized that these were the questions he had been pondering over every day, and now they appeared on the bamboo slips, and they had a "new interpretation"!
"This tea is amazing. This bamboo slip is also very magical. It reflects my heart!"

The light in Qin Ming's eyes became brighter and brighter, as if the fire of enlightenment was ignited. His whole spirit and energy became different and he looked radiant.

"Brother, it actually helps me solve my puzzles. My path is now straightened out..." Xiao Wu said. All his past confusions were now solved. He held the bamboo slips tightly.

Qin Ming shook his head and said, "It's not that it's answering your questions, but it's shining into your heart. It's the tea that has elevated your perception. We've already been studying the problems that have accumulated over the past few days, and now that we've thought deeply about them, we've naturally come up with new solutions."

Xiao Wu nodded and said, "Yes, in the past, it was rare for me to have a flash of inspiration, but now I have flashes of inspiration all the time!"

Then, he stopped talking. This state is extremely rare and a "moment" of enlightenment is priceless.

There is no doubt that the bamboo slips can illuminate the mind, and the mysterious tea can make people's comprehension soar in a short period of time. For different people, the effects are completely different.

If the comprehension of a person with master-level talent suddenly increased significantly, several times higher than usual, how "terrifying" would this state be?
Qin Ming held the bamboo slips in his hand, and the fog in his mind was constantly dispelled. The questions he had been thinking about every day now gradually had clear answers.

He usually studies silk books. Various clues are superimposed and inspiration is accumulated. Some of them were just one step away from success, but now they have naturally been completed.

“In my previous silk calligraphy, I temporarily solved the problem of my body exploding, but the details were not perfect.”

Qin Ming used his special state of enlightenment to improve and expand on the issues he usually thought about, and combined them with the refined silk calligraphy he obtained in the temple to verify each other.

Recently, he carefully studied the calligraphy on silk in the temple. The changes in the new areas were very small. After practicing by comparison, he found that those small details were indeed more exquisite.

As a result, he realized that he should start from the details and make use of the ideas of "The Sutra of Changing Destiny".

When he was practicing the Change of Life Sutra, he could be said to be going with the flow, with a bit of the "Tao follows nature" flavor, and performing the exercises according to instinct.

Qin Ming, who was in charge of the interpretation of the scriptures at that time, did not fully believe in the diagram of the main principles. Instead, he allowed the light of heaven, divine wisdom, and the light of consciousness to merge into one, and then let it spread naturally, paving the way under the main principles.

He pondered the subtleties of silk calligraphy. Some of the questions he had been thinking about had new answers after the fog was cleared, and he was now ready to put them into action.

Xiao Wu is smiling and looks silly, but if viewed from another angle, it is a reflection of the pure and innocent mentality of a child after enlightenment.

Qin Ming did not disturb him. He picked up his own teacup and drank a little more this time, because his next move was crucial and would have a huge impact on him.

In an instant, his mind was turning like lightning, without any messy thoughts, and he was immersed in the field he was conquering. What he thought in his mind was reflected on the bamboo slips.

Qin Ming is very familiar with silk calligraphy. He has practiced it for the longest time, since he was a child, for more than ten years, and has always strictly followed the records in the book.

Now he broke the old rules, keeping the general meaning of the sutra unchanged, and allowed the calligraphy on silk to flow freely, with a sense of freehand and natural style.

Qin Ming observed carefully and saw almost no changes in the overall route, as if it was moving forward by inertia.

However, he was in a very special state now. His spiritual intuition was extremely sharp and he could detect some subtle details and slight sluggishness.

"change!"

Qin Ming made a quick choice, and after a slight change in path, he found that the stagnation disappeared.

If he wanted to discover and improve these things on a normal day, he didn't know how long it would take. It would definitely require repeated observation and adjustment before he could refine them.

However, today is different.

His understanding and talent were already terrifying. Even if he was more humble, they were at least at the "grandmaster level". Now after the temporary surge, it is simply "horrifying".

Right now, Qin Ming's thoughts are clear, his inspiration is lightning-fast and constantly interweaving, and his state of enlightenment can scare many celebrities.

"The details here are not natural enough and too deliberate. The microcirculation routes are dimmer than other places." In this strange state, he can discover problems that he cannot see normally.

Qin Ming ran the process for one cycle, started over, and then made improvements again, making several minor adjustments in succession.

He practiced calligraphy on silk many times, closed his eyes, and let nature take its course, letting the sun-like light flow through him.

He felt that silk calligraphy had reached the perfect moment that suited him best in the first realm!

The dazzling skylight was like a dense spider web, interweaving in his flesh and blood, flowing at a very fast speed. He found that it suited himself better than before.

Qin Ming felt that if he operated along this fine-tuned route, the power of his Sky Light Force should be enhanced!

After a while, he opened his eyes and found Xiao Wu drinking tea with a silly smile.

Qin Ming picked up his teacup and drank tea for the third time. This time, it was almost empty.

Not far away, those people could not see the remains of the hut, but only saw two people drinking fake tea among the thorns, holding imaginary bamboo slips, grinning foolishly, and realizing the truth, both of them were completely speechless.

But there were also some individuals who looked serious and looked there, such as Ling Yu and Xin Youdao.

Liu Hanya was also shocked, because she had already believed that the two young men were unfathomable.

This time, when Qin Ming was practicing the silk calligraphy, at the critical moment, he paused slightly, and then decisively merged the heavenly light power, divine wisdom, and consciousness into one.

Obviously, he was re-enacting the process and state when he first comprehended the "Destiny Changing Sutra".

After the silk calligraphy integrated the other two forces, it was just as smooth. Qin Ming was not surprised because they had been entangled with each other on normal days.

“Hey, the details are clearer now.”

Qin Ming's flesh and blood were illuminated, as if there were golden rivers flowing across the land shrouded in night fog, constantly expanding, spreading throughout the body, and dispelling the darkness.

During this process, Qin Ming only found one obstruction, which was dispensable, but he still tried to change the route.

Afterwards, he practiced Tianguang Jin alone and found that it could be changed.

In the end, Qin Ming had an epiphany that this route was most suitable for him. He integrated his consciousness and spiritual wisdom into the Heavenly Light Energy and planted them as seeds in the soil of his physical body, just like cultivating the land. He could look forward to the revival of all things and the harvest season in the future.

His improvement of silk calligraphy was completely completed.

At this point, he felt fulfilled!
Qin Ming drank the last root of tea, read the bamboo slips, and began to comprehend other scriptures, such as re-enacting the Lihuo Sutra, Wu Ji Sutra, etc., and he also seriously comprehended the Jinchan Sutra, Longshe Sutra, etc.

Finally, he picked up the teapot, shook it continuously, poured out a few drops, and drank it.

He noticed that the tea was not as effective as before, and it seemed that the amount he had just had was just right for him.

"Brother, I still have some left in this cup, do you want some? I don't seem to feel anything after drinking any more, and I can't have any sudden realization." Xiao Wu spoke. He was already very satisfied, and many of his confusions were solved.

"No need." Qin Ming shook his head.

"Then leave it for the right person." Xiao Wu didn't force himself to drink it, leaving some tea leaves.

He was quite fascinated and said, "This is just leftover tea. Maybe after thousands of years of erosion, it can still have such an effect. If it is new tea... I can't imagine it. If I find a tea garden like that, hey, I feel like I can forge a path on my own!"

Obviously, he had just gained a huge amount!

Qin Ming believed that what he gained today would influence the entire path he was going to take.

In a state of enlightenment several times higher than that of the ancestors, he adjusted his silk calligraphy. The process seemed ordinary, but if others knew about it, it would be no less than thunder falling from the sky, constantly exploding on the road to new life!
When Qin Ming walked out, he found that many teams had already set off. Those people did not want to watch their "performance" as they felt it was too "fake".

In the distance, Ling Yu and Xin Youdao nodded over here, and soon went away and caught up with their own team. They were quite regretful because they had been warned not to get too close to these two people.

"Shanhe No. 2 hasn't left yet." Xiao Wu said.

In the distance, Liu Hanya and the people around him wanted to roll their eyes at him after hearing this. This guy was too vindictive.

"My two juniors, let's go and hit the road together." Liu Hanya took the initiative to invite.

Qin Ming and Xiao Wu did not refuse and happily followed them on the road, because with a large army going to explore those mysterious areas, they could save a lot of effort.

Now, everyone knows that the elixirs, minerals, etc. discovered in the real world are far inferior to those miracles captured by spiritual perception.

Ahead, the teams had disagreements and some people didn't want to travel together anymore, so the teams had to split up and explore on their own.

Soon, in the dense forest, a large group of people split into many groups.

However, they all quickly flocked to one place because it was so special, with colorful mist all around that could be seen from a long distance away.

Of course, many newborns are exceptions and cannot discover anything, unless they reach the outer saint level and have some consciousness.

"This place is really outrageous. In the fog, you can see another self, fighting with yourself. Only by defeating that self can you pass through. If you fail, you will never see the five-colored fog again."

"I really wanted to hit someone, but just now, I was defeated by myself. It hurts so much!"

In fact, many people have failed. They discovered that the self in the fog was the strongest self in the past, but now many people are at best a draw.

Qin Ming said: "In that realm where the real and mysterious space blend, all arrangements have profound meanings."

He had just attained enlightenment and needed this kind of tempering. No matter how you look at it, the two places are connected, and this is the best place to practice.

"It hurts so much, I'm almost beaten to death by myself!" Gan Jincheng spit out blood and retreated. He was also a leader among this group of people, but he still couldn't get over his own hurdle.

Someone suggested: "Everyone, after entering, when you see yourself reflected, don't rush to do it, just stay there and meditate first. If you can make new progress, then go through it, otherwise don't try."

After a group of people passed by this area shrouded in colorful mist, they suddenly turned back because they heard a lot of noise coming from there.

"Hiss, no way, are those two guys really fierce?"

Does anyone remember that the two weird boys were at the end again? Are they trying to break through now? This is a bit too much noise!
It was obvious that Liu Hanya was determined to cling to the golden thigh. These two junior brothers were too extraordinary. She let her team go first and waited here quietly.

She witnessed with her own eyes that in the thick fog, a gorgeous arch bridge appeared, and the aura was extremely terrifying. Then, she was even more frightened, because she found that on the other side, it seemed like a bright sun rose from the fog on the sea surface, and the radiated light made her soul feel a little uncomfortable.

You know, she was outside that area, and if she stood close to it, she couldn't even imagine it.

“This… a young ancestor-level talent. No, it feels even more terrifying than Ling Yu!” Liu Hanya was shocked and felt that the two young men in the colorful mist were more outrageous than the other.

She believed that if the newcomer blasted out with a fist as bright as the scorching sun, none of them would be able to stop it.

Especially, those who are on the path to immortality, if they dare to show their spiritual consciousness, it is estimated that they will be ignited instantly!

Not long after, Qin Ming and Xiao Wu walked out of this colorful land one after another. They felt it was very novel that they could actually fight with another self.

However, the "selves" reflected in the colorful mist were the states of the two people before today, and did not show the changes they had experienced after attaining enlightenment in the ruins of the hut.

Otherwise, even Qin Ming would have to walk out covered in blood, and might even end up hurting each other in the fog along with his other self.

After such a great battle, he felt that the new route of the silk book was perfect. After testing and the tempering of actual combat, it became smoother and more suitable for him.

Xiao Wu spat out a mouthful of blood foam, very satisfied, and strode out.

He smiled and said, "Senior, please swear an oath with a forbidden technique and don't tell anyone what you saw."

Liu Hanya was stunned. She had already known that these two people had a big secret, otherwise they would not have remained unknown.

She took a deep breath and really did it, because she knew very well that those two guys looked harmless, but they were definitely very dangerous.

Qin Ming and Xiao Wu did not walk fast as they were still experiencing the changes in themselves.

“You two…” There was a complicated expression on Liu Hanya’s pretty face. Could these be some kind of immortal or divine beings who were intentionally hiding in the team?
"They are just ordinary people, two unknown people. Just pretend you didn't see anything." Xiao Wu said.

"There is... a village!" Liu Hanya exclaimed. At this time, she was standing on a low hill and looking out.

Some people in the team in front went in, while others took a detour and continued to move forward. It was obvious that there were differences between the two sides.

A moment later, the three of them approached.

Qin Ming was surprised and said, "It's very quiet. Those people who went in were like a drop in the ocean. They didn't make any noise at all?"

It was not until they reached the mist at the edge of the village that they suddenly heard shouting and killing sounds from inside. Someone was fighting and a fierce fight was taking place.

"Run, run away!" A teenager collapsed.

More than a dozen figures covered in blood rushed out, but some of them exploded on the way, smashed by short-handled hammers thrown by others.

There were also people screaming, pierced by spears thrown by others, bleeding profusely, a tragedy happened here.

"What a genius disciple! Is he so fragile? Haha, the academy in Kunling is just like this!" A jackal-like laugh was heard.

"Demon!" Liu Hanya's face changed.

Qin Ming and Xiao Wu rushed in immediately. Although they disliked some people, they had to unite when facing the monsters on the plateau.

At this moment, Qin Ming continued to shoot his bow, and suddenly some tall figures on the roofs of the village who were throwing spears and hammers were hit by arrows one after another, and blood splattered.

Qin Ming did not use the jade iron arrows, nor did he bring out the skylight. He achieved this effect by simply relying on the fine iron arrows shot by his physical strength.

"Escape!"

In an instant, more than a dozen acquaintances rushed out.

"Don't go in, there are extremely powerful demons in there, even Xin Youdao, Gan Jincheng, Jiang Ruoli and the others couldn't stop them and were severely injured!"

Someone reminded them not to die in vain. They were grateful to Shen Wubing, Wu Yaozu and Liu Hanya for rushing in to save people, but they didn't think it would change anything.

Qin Ming didn't say anything and rushed in. Xin Youdao and others were seriously injured but not killed instantly, which shows that the monster is not that scary.

However, he soon realized that he had oversimplified things.

Because, a large group of people were blocked by four demons.

Including the demons standing on the houses throwing spears and hammers, there were less than ten of them.

And here came five teams, no less than fifty men, but they were broken up by the devils, and some of them were killed.

With a bang, Xiao Wu threw his spear and flew into the battlefield like lightning.

Qin Ming shot arrows continuously, then picked up a short hammer and smashed it out, like a thunderclap.

One of the four most powerful demons had blood on his shoulder, wounded by an arrow. Some of the demons standing on the houses were even shot through.

"Are there any masters coming?" said a wolf-headed demon standing on the house.

The four leading demons did not speak a word. They stood on the ground and stopped temporarily. They all looked like humans and there was not a drop of blood on their bodies, which showed how powerful they were.

"Retreat quickly!" Xin Youdao shouted to others. When he saw Qin Ming and Xiao Wu, his eyes immediately lit up.

There are more than twenty people here, and they can't defeat the four demons even if they join forces.

"Did I let you go?" A silver-haired young man spoke. He was a demon that was no different from humans. With a swish, he rushed out like lightning.

With a "puff" sound, Su Junlin of Daming Dojo was cut into two halves by his long sword!
Everyone's face turned pale. Su Junlin was the leader of a team and was very strong, but he died tragically in the end.

At the same time, a blond boy rushed out, pierced Lin Qianyi with the spear in his hand, and lifted her up, causing her to scream in pain.

Although Qin Ming and Wu Yaozu rushed over at high speed and threw out short hammers and spears, they were blocked by the other two of the four demons.

With a bang, the blond boy shook violently, throwing Lin Qianyi out and smashing her to the ground. She was obviously dead, with a big bloody hole in her heart.

He was also a genius, and he formed a team, but ended up dying tragically.

Qin Ming and Xiao Wu rushed forward and joined Xin Youdao and the others.

"Take the people and go first!" Qin Ming whispered.

In fact, after the four young demons stopped, the others fled on their own, not believing that the three reinforcements could change the situation.

However, when the most powerful people saw that Xin Youdao stayed, they gritted their teeth and came back. They were still loyal and did not just run away.

Jiang Ruoli, Gan Jincheng, and Xiao Yaqin were now covered in blood. They stood in this area again, gasping for breath.

Soon, they were shocked. The two young men who rushed to rescue them exchanged blows with two of the four demons but were not injured.

It was also because of this that the four young men who looked very much like humans stopped chasing them.

Xin Youdao quickly informed, "These are four very famous young demons on the plateau. They are all in the second realm. One of them is very famous, that black-haired boy. He has a chance to compete for the demon species, which is equivalent to the chance for us to compete for the immortal species. If he is polished a little more, he will become a formidable figure."

Xin Youdao was very dissatisfied. If his realm was not high enough and he had not yet entered the second realm, he would not have suffered such a huge loss today and would definitely not have been so humiliated.

You have to know that there were so many of them, but they were hunted by four demons and even a siege was useless.

"To compete for the demon species? Then he definitely has no chance!" Qin Ming said.

Jiang Ruoli, Gan Jincheng, Xiao Yaqin and others who returned were all shocked. How could he be so confident? How dare he speak like that?

Then, they immediately thought, could it be that the behavior of these two people earlier at the ruins of the hut was real and not just an act?
"How many demons came in this time? Are they waiting here to stop us on purpose?" Qin Ming asked.

Xin Youdao said, "No, our people have taken over part of the plateau, including this secret world. These demons were here at the time and did not have time to leave, so they lay dormant."

"In that case, let's kill them all!" Qin Ming said. He had been to the frontier of pioneering and had fierce battles with some monsters. He knew how terrifying an old monster could be when it had become powerful. Right now, these aliens were very hostile to their side, and there was no room for easing between the two sides.

"Two each!" said Xiao Wu.

The blond boy on the opposite side said, "Haha...what did I hear? We defeated a group of people. You two are indeed not weak, but you dare to be so arrogant. I think you are tired of living!"

They took the initiative to force their way forward. As four young demons with great fame on the plateau, they were extremely confident. They had all stepped into the second realm, and each of them had a terrifying demon sect behind them.

Qin Ming walked forward without saying anything.

Xiao Wu immediately followed and faced the four special boys with him.

"The two of them..." Gan Jincheng was a little bit unbelievable.

Liu Hanya whispered: "Maybe we can win!"

"Let's also do our part to stop those monsters on the roof!" Jiang Ruoli said.

Xiao Yaqin had a complicated expression. She naturally understood that the two young men were very strong. When Xin Youdao recommended them to her earlier, she actually refused.

"I don't know where you come from. Do you think you have the opportunity to compete for the immortal species? You are so arrogant." The most powerful black-haired young demon spoke.

"Who's going to go up? Kill one first!" The black-haired boy said in a cold tone. He was equivalent to a quasi-immortal, his realm had not yet reached the standard, but he had great potential.

"Let me do it!" responded the silver-haired young man. It was he who split Su Junlin in half with a single blow of his sword at the last moment. He was indeed very skilled in Taoism and extremely cruel.

"Brother, let me..." Before Xiao Wu could finish his words, Qin Ming had already rushed out.

The silver-haired boy approached with a bloody long sword in his hand, and found that the other party was more proactive and was already right in front of him. He immediately grinned. He has been in the second realm for two years and is a genius among the demons.

However, the next moment, he was horrified, because a five-colored knife appeared in the opponent's hand, and a five-colored light wheel was rotating outside his body, which made his hair stand on end.

This was not a competition, but a monster-killing match. Qin Ming didn't want to waste time, so he went all out right from the start.

The two of them collided more than a dozen times in the shortest possible time.

It is conceivable how strong the silver-haired boy is. He has fought against Qin Ming, who had just attained enlightenment, so many times in a row.

The flash of swords was dazzling and kept rushing up between the two men.

Finally, after the silver-haired boy fought with Qin Ming again, he quickly rushed out. With a clang, his long sword broke and fell to the ground, and blood began to flow from his brow, and then his chest and abdomen also split open.

With a "puff" sound, his body was split into two halves. He was actually split instantly, and the blood splattered everywhere!
I’ll continue to divide it into two chapters tomorrow, otherwise some book friends will feel that there are too few chapters.
