Chapter 20 Tomb Robbery
After leaving Guo Jing and Huang Rong, Wang Ming returned to the mountains to continue his sword practice.

Wang Ming had no interest in following Guo Jing and being a nanny all the way.

Besides, if he really followed them, the two young lovers who are now in love with each other would be caught in the middle and they wouldn't know how to curse Wang Ming in their hearts for being a light bulb.

The most important thing is that Wang Ming has no interest in eating dog food. Although he has no interest in Huang Rong, he can't stand being shown dog abuse on live broadcast.

Wang Ming practiced swordplay in this deep mountain, and he basically figured out the heavy sword technique by himself. The essence of this heavy sword technique is the epitaph of Dugu Qiubai: "The heavy sword has no edge, and great skill is not skillful."

The sword technique is not difficult to reproduce. The key is how to improve strength and internal power, which is the threshold for practicing this sword technique.

Without the gallbladder of the Pusuqu snake, Yang Guo would not make any progress even if he practiced to death.

The "Indestructible Vajra Divine Art" is really powerful. Zhu Wusi sucked the masters of the eight major sects dry, and worked part-time in the Royal Secret Library with countless martial arts books for him to study, but he still could only fight Gu Santong to a draw. At that time, Gu Santong could not transform and could only use the method of self-defense.

The Qi of the Vajra Indestructible Divine Art is extremely pure, which is incomparable to the Purple Cloud Qi. It also has the effect of strengthening Qi and blood, and physical fitness, which is why Wang Ming does not need to find the gall of the Pusqu snake to practice it.

The swordsmanship of the sharp sword realm mainly relies on dexterity, mostly using the wrist and arm to generate power. Wang Ming initially thought that the heavy swordsmanship was about the power of the elbow and arm, but after practicing for a while, Wang Ming realized that he was wrong.

The heavy sword technique requires not only the strength of the arms, but also the strength of the whole body. No wonder Sheng Qi, who uses Juque, and Wei Zhuang, who uses the demon sword Shark Tooth, always turn their bodies in various fancy ways and roll in the air when dancing with swords in "The Legend of Qin". This is mainly to maximize the power of the sword without destroying the inertia of the sword.

Although the shark tooth looks small, it is actually very heavy. You have to know that it is made of bronze and precious metals, and is carefully crafted by a swordsmith.

The weapons in the pre-Qin period were very heavy. They were not like the swords used by martial artists today. Today's swords are very soft, light and thin. It can be said that everyone in the pre-Qin period used the heavy black iron sword like Yang Guo.

Wang Ming had read an article before, but he was not sure whether it was true or not.

The skeletons of ancient people before the Han Dynasty dug out from tombs are obviously very tall, incomparable to modern people, and are comparable to the physique of Africans.

But after the Han Dynasty, people gradually became shorter.

The reason seems to be that during the Five Barbarians' Rebellion, wars were frequent, and strong young men were drafted into the army to fight. How many of them could return from the battlefield? The Five Barbarians' Rebellion lasted for too long, and strong young men were drafted into the army one after another. The only ones left were the weak, short, and frail people. The allusion of "A blessing in disguise" shows that all the strong men were drafted into the army.

The excellent genes were consumed in the war, which caused later generations to doubt the height and martial arts of the ancients.

A person's physical fitness is related to diet, but the most important factor should be genes. Just like those African brothers, no matter how good they eat, they still grow big and strong.

"Oops! I'm thinking too far ahead." Wang Ming reacted.

After all, in Wang Ming's opinion, the heavy swordsmanship is similar to the swordsmanship of Wei Zhuang and others. Of course, the similarity is only in their normal attacks, not the Hundred-Step Flying Sword and Crossing the Eight Directions. Even with Wang Ming's knowledge and background, he cannot restore them by himself at this time.

Several realms of Dugu Qiubai:
In the realm of sharp sword, "Nine Swords of Dugu" is the core of his swordsmanship.

There is no inheritance in the realm of soft sword, and Wang Ming doesn't know how to practice it. This realm should be the pinnacle of sword skills. Soft sword is the most difficult to practice, and if you are not careful, you will hurt yourself.

Heavy Sword Realm, why is this realm so powerful?

Because of strength!

The martial arts value of an expert includes strength and internal power.

These two forces act simultaneously.

For example, before Yang Guo learned the heavy sword, his fighting power was 30% physical strength and 70% internal strength.

But after practicing the heavy sword, it is 100% physical strength, 70% internal strength, plus the bonus of the weapon.

This is the principle that one plus one equals two.

However, while internal strength is easy to improve, physical strength is difficult to improve, as the upper limit is basically determined by nature.

So don’t even think about this wonderful opportunity.

I don't mind fighting someone of the same level of internal strength, I can even try to fight someone of a higher level. But I must not fight someone who is stronger than me.

Just like when Pei Yuanqing met Li Yuanba, he didn't even need to struggle. Luo Cheng's skills and speed could even allow him to feint a few shots at Li Yuanba.

Pei Yuanqing is a slow and hard-hitting type, and he will suffer internal injuries if he receives a single blow.

Wang Ming is still far from the swordless realm, so he doesn’t want to speculate about it. It’s useless to daydream about it.

............................................................

Wang Ming practiced sword in the mountains for half a month, then stopped. He came to Zhongnan Mountain and used his light skill "Flying on the Grass" to survey the back mountain. Finally, Wang Ming found the pool.

Then Wang Ming did not waste any time and immediately went into the pool and sneaked all the way. It was pitch black underwater and he could not see anything. Fortunately, Wang Ming was well prepared. Along the way, he robbed a rich merchant to help the poor and got a night pearl, which allowed him to see things underwater.

Not long after, Wang Ming arrived at the end of the waterway and swam upstream.

“Hoo! Hoo! Hoo…”

Wang Ming came out of the water and breathed deeply. If the waterway was longer, he would have suffocated to death.

"I was too careless. I almost got screwed. I have to be more careful next time." Wang Ming warned himself.

After leaving the pond and walking into the stone chamber, he did not have time to let the wet clothes dry. He raised the night-shining pearl and began to read the Nine Yin Manual on the stone wall.

Half an hour later,
The "Nine Yin Scriptures" engraved on Chongyang's remains is incomplete, without the general outline, and many parts overlap with the lower volume in Wang Ming's hand.

Wang Ming was disappointed, thinking that his trip was in vain.

The most important part of "Nine Yin Scriptures" is the general outline, followed by the internal skills in the first volume, and finally the external skills in the second volume.

Chen Xuanfeng and Mei Chaofeng are typical examples of people who forced themselves to practice the lower volume of martial arts.

Mei Chaofeng was also extremely beautiful back then, and Huang Yaoshi almost couldn't help but be moved. It can be seen that Mei Chaofeng's appearance is definitely good, but after practicing the second volume of "Nine Yin Manual", she became neither human nor ghost, and was nicknamed "Iron Corpse".

"Hey! This is normal. After all, Old Wang's Chongyang Legacy was not for the purpose of passing on martial arts, but because all his martial arts were cracked by Lin Chaoying, he was so angry that he took out Huang Shang's Nine Yin Manual to save face. No wonder Yang Guo and the others didn't major in the Nine Yin Manual."

When Wang Ming was about to leave, he turned around and looked in the direction of the depths of the darkness. That direction was the passage leading into the ancient tomb. He was quite curious about Xiao Longnu and the martial arts in the ancient tomb.

After thinking about it, I gave up the idea. Curiosity kills the cat.

In this era, the best in the world should be Lin Chaoying's maid, and the four greatest masters of the time are no match for her.

Wang Chongyang and Lin Chaoying should be in the innate realm, but for some unknown reason, they turned into corpses not long after they broke through.

Lin Chaoying's "Jade Girl Heart Sutra" was created through dual cultivation with her maid. This maid probably lacked foundation and talent and was unable to break through to the innate level, but she should also have reached the peak of acquired strength.

Hong Qigong's strength is only at the late acquired stage, and the other three masters are about the same as him.

Don’t think that Lin Chaoying’s strength is weak just because her maid was killed by Ouyang Feng.

At that time, Ouyang Feng had practiced the "Reverse Nine Yin Scriptures" and was truly the best in the world at the second Huashan Sword Contest.

But once they arrived at the ancient tomb, they were subdued by Lin Chaoying's maid and pressed on her acupuncture points. However, the maid didn't know that Ouyang Feng practiced the Nine Yin Manual in reverse, and her acupuncture points were reversed, so she was not pressed at all and was attacked without any preparation.

Even if Lin Chaoying's maid did not take action and released the Yufeng group, Wang Ming would be in trouble.

So Wang Ming didn't think any more and jumped into the pool behind him. He used the breath-holding method engraved by Chongyang and sneaked out of the ancient tomb along the water flow.
