After experiencing the saying, "When the Dao rises one foot, the Devil rises ten feet", Hong Yi realized that even if he had the Amitabha Sutra, the supreme scripture that cultivated the soul, it could only ensure the safety of his own soul. However, cultivating and visualizing couldn't be accomplished overnight.
There was only one way to subdue the delusions produced in the visualization and train the soul to be indomitable. That was to rely on one's great willpower.
With great wisdom and willpower, one could subdue the various demons visualized in the heart and finally achieve great success. Only then could one's cultivation improve. There were no shortcuts.
Although the visualization method of the Amitabha Sutra was the origin of all techniques, including the White Bone Temple, the Asura Temple, the Jade Lady Temple, and the Ascension Temple, the further one went, the stronger the soul would be and the stronger the demons visualized would be. All kinds of illusions would emerge one after another, and it was even possible for them to materialize. Therefore, the Amitabha Sutra would be ten times, a hundred times, or even a thousand times harder to cultivate than for ordinary cultivators.
"If this Amitabha Sutra doesn't have the assistance of the Amitabha Avatar, unless it's a saint with great wisdom and great determination, otherwise, no matter how brilliant the person is, he or she will definitely suffer from qi deviation and his or her soul will be damaged. However, even with this Amitabha Sutra, one still has to rely on one's willpower when cultivating. "
This was the first time that Hong Yi failed in cultivating the Amitabha Sutra.
Of course, he wouldn't give up after failing. From the first day to the fifteenth of the New Year, he practiced martial arts during the day and visualized the soul at night.
After the sixty kilogram Chestnut Ox Horn Natural Silk Bow cracked, he went to the "Guanlouse" to buy an eighty kilogram Tuomu Ox Tendon Bow and continued to practice.
The eighty kilogram Tuomu Ox Tendon Bow was much more difficult to draw than the natural silk bow.
Especially in the winter, the Ox Tendon Bow was affected by the weather and was hard to draw. Although it was said to be eighty kilograms, it was actually a hundred kilograms.
However, the harder it was to draw, the greater the effect on Hong Yi's strength training.
Every time he used enough strength to draw the bow, Hong Yi felt like he was a piece of iron being tempered and forged in a furnace. The large pieces of flesh, the small pieces of flesh, the large tendons, and the small tendons on his body were twisted into a rope during the process of drawing the bow.
In the process of practicing archery, Hong Yi also realized that his body contained many invisible bows. His arms were a bow, his back was a bow, his waist was a bow, his legs were a bow …
The more he trained, the purer his muscles became, and the more powerful he became.
The impurities in the iron had been tempered thousands of times and gradually transformed into fine steel.
"When my father was young, he was able to fire a nine-picul Falling Star Bow in rapid succession. It was really too …"
After pulling the 40 jin bow, Hong Yi felt a sense of fear towards his father, Marquis Wu Wen, Hong Xuanji's strength.
The nine stone bows were the same as the ones Hong Yi had in his hands. He drew all of them and shot continuously.
Imagining the ten bows in his hands and having to draw them all at once, Hong Yi shuddered, not to mention shooting in rapid succession.
Days passed as he practiced martial arts and studied in the day and visualized at night.
Hong Yi was completely immersed in these days, feeling carefree like never before. His strength also increased day by day, and his mind became clearer day by day.
It was only when a whole month had passed that he had no choice but to extricate himself from these days.
This was because the religious school in the family was about to start.
As the first month passed, Jade Capital also returned to its former peace and harmony.
"This month has been too peaceful and comfortable. No one actually came to disturb me. It must be because my father wanted to see me and tell me to focus on preparing for the imperial examination. However, in this month of training, I still haven't broken through, and my spirit hasn't reached the Day Wandering stage either. My muscles and tendons feel more or less the same, but I still find it difficult to move my skin, let alone start practicing the Demon Tiger Bone Forging Fist. "
Hong Yi summarized the gains of this month.
A scholar could reflect three times a day and understand the gains and losses. This could also be applied to practicing martial arts and training the spirit.
Although he hadn't broken through in a month, he had consolidated and refined his spirit, and was already on the verge of breaking through.
"In the short span of three months, I've changed so much …" Hong Yi thought to himself. Three months ago, he was still a weak scholar. But now, he had become a mutant who possessed the Amitabha Sutra, the Ox Demon's Fist of Great Strength, the Tiger Demon's Bone Training Fist, could draw a forty-kilogram ox tendon bow, and could leave his shell to roam at night. Although he still did not have the power to change his situation, there was hope for him to become stronger step by step.
Three months ago, Hong Yi didn't give up even though he only had a sliver of hope. Now that he had a lot of hope, he was even more confident.
Early in the morning.
Hong Yi packed up his brush, ink, paper, and inkstone, wrapped them in a cloth bag, and walked towards the family's religious school.
The religious school of Marquis Wu Wen's residence was located in the east of Yujing City, close to the imperial court's Imperial College. It was about five to six miles away from the Hong residence.
When Hong Yi packed up and left, all the young masters in the Marquis's residence also left one after another. Other than Hong Yi's more than ten brothers and sisters, there were also some relatives, as well as servant girls, manservants, and book boys who accompanied him in his studies.
Early in the morning, there was an endless stream of people leaving the Marquis's residence. It was as if they were going to a market, and it was a big sight.
The religious school of the Marquis's residence was very well run. It was close to the Imperial College of the Imperial College, and they had invited famous scholars. Famous scholars, or Hanlin Scholars who had experienced several literary battles and were experienced in scientific examinations.
Because Marquis Wu Wen and Hong Xuanji were old scholars who had been in the imperial court for many years, they had a wide network of people, and they also had a group of scholars as their henchmen. As a result, the religious school of the Marquis's family had almost become a big academy, and it was famous in Yujing City.
The religious school of the Hong family was even more famous than some of the religious schools of the Wang Ye family and the Marquis's family. Many people also used their connections to study in the Marquis's residence.
The young masters who went out of the Marquis's residence in the morning all sat in horse carriages, and they were accompanied by at least two or three book boys who accompanied them. Only Hong Yi was alone. He did not have a book boy to accompany him, nor did he have a manservant to serve him.
However, Hong Yi was used to it, and he felt that it was peaceful to be alone.
After walking for a few hours, Hong Yi saw the tall building of the Imperial College in the distance.
"Hmm? Isn't that Princess Luoyun studying in the Imperial College? " Hong Yi looked at the iron ring on his thumb, and suddenly thought of the princess he met on the "Guanlouse".
"Get out of the way, get out of the way …"
The sound of hurried hooves and shouts came from the road behind him. The pedestrians on the road quickly moved out of the way. Even the people who were leisurely driving horse carriages to school rushed to the side of the road when they heard this sound.
Hong Yi also heard this sound, and he quickly came back to his senses. He frowned and looked back.
At this moment, two horses rushed over from behind him. On the horses was a young master who wore a hat, a silk coat, and a jade pendant on his waist. He was dressed in a luxurious manner. There was also a follower who was also wearing a silk coat.
These two people's horsemanship was very exquisite. They galloped their horses all the way over, and they were very aggressive. However, they did not hit anyone or anything.
Hong Yi recognized them at a glance. These two people were Hong Gui and his cousin Rong Pan from the Third Branch, Madam Rong's family, who were discussing to teach him a lesson.
As if they saw Hong Yi, the two people on the horses smiled sinisterly. They looked at each other, and with a twist of the reins, they immediately sped up. In a few moments, they were already behind Hong Yi.
"Get out of the way."
Rong Pan saw that Hong Yi seemed to be scared silly, and laughed loudly. As he swept past, he raised his whip and ruthlessly lashed down.
Of course, he wouldn't really whip. He just wanted to scare Hong Yi into rolling on the ground.
The ferocious charge of a man and a horse was enough to scare people to the point of rolling and crawling.
"Hmm?"
Hong Yi's eyes turned cold. He tilted his body and dodged the horse's charge. At the same time, he used all his strength and used the Ox Demon Butts its Horns, punching the horse's stomach with both fists.
Hong Yi used all the strength in his body to punch the horse. He could even hear the whistling sound of his fists breaking through the air!
Rumble!
The horse charged past him. After charging for more than ten steps, it suddenly fell to the ground and rolled a few times.
At the same time, Rong Pan, who was on the horse, was jolted by the huge inertia and fell to the ground, bleeding from his head.
This change happened very quickly. Many people only saw Rong Pan charge over on the horse, and then use his whip to whip Hong Yi. When Hong Yi dodged, the horse suddenly lost control and fell.
