Chapter 192: The Myriad Forms of Heaven and Earth
"Little Er, drink up!"

The small restaurant was filled with noise and in a corner of the lobby, Li Yuan ordered a table full of food and wine.

Traveling around the world is a tough job. Even if he has the ability to perform light martial arts, Li Yuan would not do it by walking on his own two feet for several months.

It's hard and tiring, but it also interferes with your practice.

After Han Chuijun left, he followed Fang Baoluo to the nearby county town and bought some commonly used pills and dry food.

I am also planning to find an escort agency to accompany me.

After all, the entire Shenbing Valley clan had relocated, and all the post stations had long been deserted.

"Have you heard? The Divine Weapon Valley has suffered a great disaster. The mountain gate has been occupied by heroes from all walks of life, and even the post station has been occupied by people!"

"I heard that the Heavenly Promise Mysterious Soldiers appeared in the world. Even the Huailong Palace sent elders to come. It is said that 'Yan Qingyuan' is here!"

"It's not just Huailong Palace. It's said that Longhu Temple..."

There were many people from the martial arts world in the restaurant. Li Yuan took a casual glance and saw a flash of weapon light, a mixture of blue, white, and green.

Unfortunately, Master Li Dao has very high standards nowadays and doesn’t think highly of second- and third-tier swords.

"Tsk, news spreads really fast."

Li Yuan listened to all kinds of discussions. The emergence of Tianyun Xuanbing was a major event that shocked the entire martial arts world. All kinds of news were flying around, both true and false.

But what is certain is that Zhelong Mansion must be very lively now, and Gong Yangyu's decision is correct. If he does not leave, he will definitely become the target of public criticism.

After a while, Fang Baoluo came back carrying large and small bags.

"There is a small escort agency in the city. Each person gets 23 taels of silver. You don't need to have guards, but you have to bring your own dry food."

Fang Baoluo picked up the chopsticks. Before leaving, he wanted to have a good meal as he would have to sleep outdoors afterwards.

"Twenty-three taels of silver, a bit expensive, but it's okay."

Li Yuan had no objection. Spending money has its advantages. At least he didn’t have to find his own way.

Nowadays, finding your way is a science. Without someone who has been walking around all year round to guide you, you will probably have to take a lot of detours.

Moreover, with someone watching over you, you can sleep peacefully.

"After all, these past few years have not been peaceful."

Fang Baoluo was very fast. He and Li Yuan went back and forth, and in a short while, all the food on the table was cleared away.

Afterwards, the two went to the city gate. At noon, they saw a flag with the words "Dingyuan" written on it coming from the city.

"Dingyuan Escort Agency is one of the largest escort agencies in Huizhou. It has branches in various county capitals, and there are also many small escort agencies operating under their banner."

Fang Baoluo introduced.

The world is turbulent and it is difficult to travel. Without a big flag, it is difficult for a small escort agency to get business, and even if it does, it will not be peaceful.

"You are just exaggerating."

Li Yuan was familiar with this. When he went to the provincial capital with the Changyuan Escort Agency before, he also inquired about a lot of matters related to escorting on the way.

Normally, the escort services provided by the escort agency are generally divided into six categories: letter escort, ticket escort, silver escort, grain escort, property escort, and personal escort.

These entourages are the escort leaders who make extra money and are the cheapest type of human escorts.

Silver is collected based on the value or identity of the items being transported, and various methods of transportation are used.

The open escorts use the tiger's skin to hide their true identity, the secret escorts take more routes, and so on.

"Let's just go along the way, keep a low profile and don't cause any trouble. The Zhelong Mansion has been very unstable recently..."

Fang Baoluo gave a few instructions, went forward to negotiate for a few words, and soon returned. The two of them followed the escort agency out of the city and got a carriage.

Li Yuan wanted to get a ride alone, but was rejected by Fang Baoluo, who felt that it would be safer for them to be together.

To be precise, after seeing Li Yuan's lightness skills, he felt that he might need more protection.

Li Yuan observed through the car curtain and found that the convoy of this small escort agency was not small, with perhaps thirty or forty vehicles in the front and back.

"This small escort company transports physical goods. Some of the 'Green Snake Vine' that is unique to Yunjing County is a good material for making whips, but its value is not very high."

Fang Baoluo had naturally inquired about it and gave a few introductions.

If they really want to transport valuable items, he won't come to their door, and the other party will not accept personal escorts from unknown origins.

"Well, I'll follow Brother Fang's arrangements."

Li Yuan nodded. He had also been around the world in his previous life, but his experience was not very transferable.

In my previous life, at most I would encounter a few pickpockets or people stealing oil on the road, but these days, it can easily lead to death.

The carriage was very small, and the two people could touch their legs when sitting face to face. Li Yuan simply half-lay on one side, took out the booklet left by Old Han from his arms and began to flip through it.

Old Han is a man who likes to teach others, which can be seen from the fact that he left books such as "Gen Gu Lun" in the library.

When he wrote books, he focused on making them easy to understand, so at least it seemed that there was no threshold for becoming a disciple of the Hammer Soldier Hall.

"The shape of change."

The first half of this booklet introduces the differences between the three types of forms: mortal, spiritual, and celestial.

"Everything in the world has its own form. Most of the most common ones are ordinary. Ordinary forms are the easiest to learn and the most common. A variety of ordinary forms are enough to suppress a single spiritual form..."

"Spiritual beasts are compared to ordinary beasts like superior physiques are compared to inferior physiques, but they are difficult to learn and see..."

“The shapes of the heaven and earth, the mountains and rivers, the wind, rain, thunder and lightning are all illusory and cannot be cultivated without the highest level of understanding.

When the Way of the Soldiers Fighting Hammer is perfected, the resulting 'Fighting Hammer Form' can also be classified as the form of heaven and earth..."

Li Yuan watched with great interest.

Lao Han explained in a simple and easy-to-understand way, classifying all the shapes of the universe into three types of forms, and even listing out the effects of each form and their corresponding combinations.

Bears, elephants, cows, tigers and the like focus on strength; kites, eagles, birds and the like focus on speed; apes, monkeys, leopard cats and the like focus on agility.

Each type is further subdivided, which can be said to be extremely detailed.

In the second half of the volume, the "main form" begins to be mentioned.

"The universe is infinite, human hearts are infinite, and human life is finite. It is difficult to obtain everything, so there should be emphasis, priority..."

"Normally speaking, the shape of heaven and earth is more suitable as the main shape. The main shape covers all other shapes, and all other shapes complement the main shape. This is the way of mutual complementation."

"The Grand Master of the Dragon and Tiger Temple, Long Yingchan, is in the form of wind, tiger, cloud and dragon. It is a perfect match between the spirit form and the form of heaven and earth. The other forms complement each other, so he is invincible and is ranked on the God List."

……

"Wind, Tiger, Cloud and Dragon. This main form contains at least the two forms of heaven and earth, 'wind' and 'cloud', and the forms of two extremely powerful spirit beasts, 'dragon' and 'tiger'!"

Li Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly. He could feel Lao Han's desire and eagerness to try from the lines.

It took Lao Han more than seventy years to create hundreds of shapes. What was the main shape?
"The Sea-Splitting Black Whale, the Black Whale is one of them, and the Sea-Splitting Star..."

Li Yuan sensed the Black Whale Hammer in the gray stone platform. After a slight sensation, the image of the giant whale swimming in the sea of ​​clouds appeared in his mind again.

And that ocean planet with all kinds of inverted mountains but no land.

"Split Starfish."

Li Yuan has a very flexible mind, and his understanding of heaven and earth is different from anyone else in this world.

As for the others, even people like Han Chuijun, their understanding of the world is very vague, but he has been to school after all.

"Everything has a shape, so it makes sense that a planet would be possible, but the difficulty... Is it enough to fill the entire Xuanbing Secret Realm with true energy to outline it?"

Li Yuan's imagination ran wild.

"Junior brother?"

Hearing the silly laugh of "hehe", Fang Baoluo turned over and sat up. He didn't expect that someone could laugh after reading the martial arts manual.

"Ah, nothing."

Li Yuan also sat up, and he stuffed the book into his arms, but actually put it into the incense burner on the gray stone platform. The time spent reading passed quickly, and the carriage slowed down. He opened the curtain, and the sky had darkened.

The people from the escort agency are already preparing to set up the tent.

"Come on, let's go set up the tent."

Li Yuan got off the carriage and went to the tent. He was determined to live in a room of his own, otherwise how could he change his constitution?

Fang Baoluo didn't force it, he also wanted to practice.

Before nightfall, the chief escort leader showed up. He was an old man in his sixties, with a strong build and a broad-bladed sword on his back. His surname was Liu, and his name was Liu Fuen.

"Inner strength is achieved."

Li Yuan took a look and found that he was a little stronger than Cao Yan back then, but only a little.

No threat.

Li Yuan went to get some hot water and took a walk along the way. The sixth-level weapon control talisman could already sense the light of weapons within forty meters.

Only after making sure that there were no experts hiding in the escort agency did Li Yuan return to the tent with peace of mind.

There's nothing wrong with being cautious. He just wanted to have a ride quietly and didn't want to get involved in any mess.

"Squeak~"

The little mouse, who had been cooped up for a whole day, was having fun in the tent. It was just a mouse that hibernated during the day and came out at night, so it would be very troublesome to have a dog.

The main benefit of raising mice is that it saves you the trouble.

"Just play by yourself and don't let the dog take it away."

Li Yuan warned and let it go.

This small escort agency has more than a dozen ferocious mastiffs, which are used for nighttime guarding and are more useful than humans.

"call!"

In the tent, Li Yuan stood with a hammer in his hand, his movements fluently performed.

With the accumulation of his talent in hammer skills, the Bingdao Fighting Hammer was close to perfection, only lacking a little bit of maturity.

"It's a pity that I couldn't get the physical diagram of the Bingdao Fighting Hammer."

Li Yuan is multitasking.

The lower level fundamental diagram and the upper level body diagram are the foundation of martial arts. Unfortunately, the entire Divine Weapon Valley moved away, and the secret building had been moved away long ago, so he had nowhere to borrow them even if he wanted to.

After practicing a few sets of physical exercises to activate his blood circulation, Li Yuan slowly closed his eyes and replaced the two long sticks to meet the control requirements of the 'Fundamental Diagram of the Spirit Ape Stick Technique'.

"Spiritual Ape Staff Technique, Spiritual Monkey Double Swords, Fierce Tiger Knife Technique, Spiritual Fox Sword Technique. These four basic maps are only enough for me for half a year. This time when I return to Gaoliu, I will take those books as well..."

Li Yuan stretched his muscles, took the elixir and medicine skillfully, and began to improve his bones.

At the same time, he also moved his internal energy to activate the 'Mysterious Whale Form'. After changing his form, his bones changed at a much faster speed.

"call!"

"Suck!"

……

The days on the road were very boring. Most of the time, in order to save money on accommodation and entry into the city, the escort agency would not even enter the city.

Occasionally, it is necessary to buy necessities such as dry food, spare clothes, etc.

Fang Baoluo initially thought that Li Yuan might not be able to adapt well, but later discovered that compared to him, she was the one who was not able to adapt well.

From time to time, he would get off the carriage and walk for a while, talk to someone, look at the scenery, etc. Li Yuanzhen would get on the carriage to read a book and get off the carriage to go into the tent.

The regularity made him a little nervous.

"Brother, let's go into the city for a walk."

On this day, the escort agency passed by the county town and chose to set up a tent outside the city. Fang Baoluo couldn't help it.

"to make!"

Li Yuan readily agreed and walked out of the tent: "I worked up a sweat from practicing martial arts, and I'm just about to take a hot bath."

"Sweating from martial arts training?"

Looking at Li Yuan who looked like he had just been pulled out of the water, Fang Baoluo's mouth twitched. This little junior brother was becoming more and more like the master and that big fool.

He doesn't even blink when telling lies.

"The military posture is broad and profound."

Li Yuan shuddered, and his internal energy shook off the sweat all over his body, but the smell of sweat could not be completely dispelled.

After more than twenty days, he had developed the power of a monkey, his bones had been transformed, and his shape had become more agile.

One step closer to Baixing.

"……you're right."

Fang Baoluo looked at him with an expression that said "what the hell are you talking about?" and turned around and walked towards the city.

"Yunju County, well, it's still more than ten days away from Gaoliu County."

Li Yuan glanced at the city gate, followed Fang Baoluo into the city, found a restaurant, took a hot bath, and ordered a table of food and wine to feast on.

After eating, before it got dark, the two of them went to the pharmacy to buy a batch of pills, and then returned to the inn.

"I can control the fundamental diagram, but there are only three left. However, the Bull Skill, Harrier Step, Eagle Claw Grabbing Hand, and White Deer Leaping Skill have all been perfected. I am only one step away from changing my form."

In the room, Li Yuan was standing still.

In addition to mastering the fundamental map, he also practiced martial arts. In addition to the four lower-level martial arts, he also practiced the middle-level hammer method of the Ancient Elephant Six-Shape Hammer.

If these five martial arts are practiced to perfection, at least ten more forms can be added!
"Without the Chirong Cave, my horizontal training progress is too slow, and I still haven't mastered the Ten Thousand Blades Spirit Dragon Body..."

Li Yuan muttered to himself.

He has a number of inner armors available that can increase his "horizontal training talent", but horizontal training requires not only talent, but also the assistance of venues and equipment.

On the road, there are really no such conditions.

"It's a pity that the Hammer Skill Talent has limited effect on other martial arts..."

Li Yuan stretched his muscles and moved his body in a small space. He performed the Rough Bull Skill, Harrier Step, Eagle Claw Grabbing Technique, and White Deer Leaping Skill one after another. His movements were not slow, but there was no sound at all.

This means that one has mastered one's own strength to the finest degree.

After practicing for a while, Li Yuan asked the waiter for a bucket of hot water, as taking the pills and taking the medicines required a medicinal bath.

Relieve muscle and bone fatigue, medicinal bath is more gentle and bathing is very comfortable.

"call!"

The room was steaming hot. Li Yuan closed his eyes, feeling the changes in his strength, energy and blood.

Before the change of form, the circulations of Qi and blood, and internal strength are independent of each other and do not intersect, but after the change of form, these two major circulations have intersected with each other.

It is like two other sets of blood vessels throughout the body, supplying the entire body and responding to each other.

hum!
Li Yuan calmed down, and felt the shadow of the black whale in the sea of ​​clouds constantly appearing in front of his eyes, sometimes blurry, sometimes clear.

Sometimes the distance was very far, and sometimes, it seemed as if he was right there.

His body also changed accordingly. The exposed flesh and bones seemed to tremble like waves. The elixirs he took internally and the medicinal power he applied externally were all absorbed by him at an extremely fast speed.

He possesses seventeen forms, and the limits of his physique are far beyond those of ordinary shapeshifters. His physical strength is still growing, and at least it is far from reaching its limit for now.

"call!"

After a long time, Li Yuan let out a long breath, stopped sketching the Black Whale Hammer, and instead sensed the Sea-Splitting Black Whale Hammer:
"Mysterious Soldier Secret Realm!"
