Chapter 7: Ten Years, Five Thunder Mantras
Cheguguan's study is indeed full of books, but these books have not been sold for many years, and some of them have begun to turn yellow.
These books are basically blue covers, like "martial arts cheats", look at it, there are "Yellow Emperor Neijing", "Qimen Dunjia", "Book of Changes", "Difficult Scripture", "Classic of Mountains and Seas", "Maoshan Technique......
There are all kinds of books for practicing and telling stories, but these books are all published in the last century, and some large publishing houses in the Nine Shadows Kingdom no longer print these books. Coupled with the rise of the internet, people have gradually started to like to read books online.
After Ji Tianci was six years old, Qingfeng Dao Chang allowed him to read the books in the study and taught him the art of acupuncture. Ji Tianci is awe-inspiring, he understands Taoism at a glance, and he has become proficient in acupuncture after only one month.
During the day, Ji Tianci sat in the study and read. Occasionally, needles are pricked at a life-size dummy with acupuncture points on the meridians of the human body, which is specially used to practice acupuncture.
The books in the study, Qingfeng Dao Chang couldn't teach him, because he understood these books too shallowly, and he was afraid that he would mistake Ji Tianci.
At night, the father and son went to the top of the mountain to cultivate, rain or shine, and on the top of the mountain, there was an extra tent next to the signal tower, and there were only two futons in the tent.
Since Ji Tianci's sixth birthday, he rarely eats, only occasionally eats fruits, Qingfeng Dao Chang was a little worried at first, but then saw that Ji Tianci was still able to grow healthily, so he didn't care. Ji Tianci grew whiter and fairer, his skin was shiny, his eyes were bright and transparent, and his hair became darker, not like a mortal, like the man in the painting.
Ji Tianci's daily cultivation can reach Bigu and not eat mortal food. But Qingfeng Dao Chang can't, he can feel a trace of heaven and earth aura, but it is extremely difficult to introduce into the body, let alone impact the acupuncture points, daily cultivation is just for him to nourish his spirit and prevent all kinds of diseases.
Qingfeng Dao Leader also told the surrounding villagers about this cultivation method, but no one could perceive the aura of this heaven and earth.

Time passed day by day, and Qingfeng Dao Chang and Ji Tianci lived a dull life, practicing and reading books every day. Ji Tianci reads these Taoist books very slowly, often a set of books can be read for a year, he said that this book contains all kinds of changes, and it is difficult to grasp for a while.
Ten years have passed in a blink of an eye, and the Chegu view has not become more old, it is still very simple, but there is a trace of mystery above the simplicity, which makes people feel that there are masters in the view at a glance.
On the four walls of the Taoist temple, Ji Tianci used a brush to write scriptures on it, writing some remnants of ancient scriptures, this ink has not faded on the wall for many years, and the whole wall looks full of mysteries. The chalk words looked relaxed and happy before, but this brush words seem to contain the truth of heaven and earth, which is unfathomable.
The trees outside the view have also become greener, and flocks of birds have come here to nest. This temple seems to be shrouded in clouds and mist all year round, but this fog is more like smoke, very gentle. Cheguguan incense is not vigorous, and there should not be such smoke, which makes this place look like a fairyland.
Perhaps influenced by this "fairyland", the old yellow heads have been in good spirits in the past ten years.
Ten years of time have not left any traces on the face of the Qingfeng Dao Chief, and he still looks like a man in his early thirties.
This year, Ji Tianci was sixteen years old, he was already an adult young man, and his height exceeded that of Qingfeng Daochang. In fact, Ji Tianci looked like this when he was twelve years old, and he did not become more "mature" later.
Today's Ji Tianci Yushu is in the wind, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and a handsome face, and the statue of the Yellow Emperor in the Xuanyuan Hall has a six-point resemblance, but the temperament of the Yellow Emperor looks unruly, and Ji Tianci's temperament looks elegant.
Ji Tianci also has long hair draped around his waist, only a strand of green cloth tied into a hanging hairpin on his head, his hair is black and shiny, every step he takes, the long hair dances lightly in the wind, and the whole person looks like an ancient poem. There are no impurities on the face, and it is crystal clear, like jade.
Now Ji Tianci is also wearing a Taoist robe, compared to Qingfeng Dao Chang, he is more like an immortal with high mana, as if he has descended from the fairy world.
After ten years of cultivation, Ji Tianci also understands that he is very different from ordinary people, the aura in his body can already be sent and received freely, this aura is magical, attach it to the brush, and the handwriting cannot be washed away by rain. Before each row of needles in the Qingfeng Dao, the thin needles need to be smoked with wormwood, but Ji Tianci attaches the aura to the silver needles, and the effect is better than that of wormwood smoked.
In the Olympic year, Ji Tianci accompanied Lao Huangtou to watch the entire Olympic Games on TV. Ji Tianci found that if he participated in the Olympic Games, the champions in track and field and weightlifting should be his own.
Nowadays, the aura operates on its own in the body, and if you want to, the aura is attached to your feet, and you sprint up 100 meters, and you are twice as fast as ordinary people. As for long-distance running, if you run in the farmland, you can even maintain the speed of ordinary people sprinting all the time, and the aura of the outside world is constantly absorbed and exhaled, and you can run fast even if you hold your breath.
The scriptures say that after the opening of the mansion, there are variants. Ji Tianci later understood that he was born to open the mansion, but the aura between heaven and earth was too thin, and after ten years of cultivation, there was still not much aura that could be gathered in the body, and it could not reach the transformation of Xiaocheng. The scriptures describe that the aura of heaven and earth should be like a "waterfall" to continuously refine the physical body, but he felt that the aura of heaven and earth was just like a hanging bottle dripping water, slow and scarce. There is already a wide "ditch" in his body, but there is no "torrent" into this "ditch".
Qingfeng Dao Chang and Ji Tianci once went to several nearby cities to investigate, and found that it was actually his own Jinniu Mountain with the strongest aura, Ji Tianci said that there were too many "impurities" in the city, which was not conducive to cultivation, and it was better to be in the countryside.
In the past ten years, Ji Tianci, in addition to reading books and practicing, is to play chess with the old yellow head, and now Ji Tianci is one person playing many people, and everyone is proud to win a game of Ji Tianci, but they don't know that every time Ji Tianci loses, it is deliberate.
I don't know what the future holds, but I know that such a day is also very beautiful. Whenever he heard Ji Tianci's flute, Qingfeng Dao Chang felt ethereal, and felt that people should have no desires and no desires, and everything was naturally fine.
***
On this day, Ji Tianci's sixteenth birthday in the lunar calendar, it rained lightly in the sky. Qingfeng Dao Chang finally found that every time Ji Tianci's birthday, it always rained at night on this Taurus Mountain.
Stars were still visible in the night sky, and the rain was strange, not like it was falling from the clouds, but from a higher place.
Ji Tianci and Qingfeng Dao Chang stood under the eaves of the Xuanyuan Hall and looked up at the starry sky, as if they wanted to see where the drizzle came from.
"Dad, do you feel that there is longing in this rain, like the tears of relatives?" Ji Tianci stretched his right hand out of the eaves, still falling from the rain in the palm of his hand.
After hearing this, Qingfeng Dao Chang also stretched out his hand, but after a while, he shook his head with a wry smile: "This is like ordinary rain." ”
Ji Tianci didn't reply, but closed his eyes and stretched out his hands out of the eaves.
Qingfeng Dao's eyes widened suddenly, and the moment Ji Tianci's eyes closed, the symbol on his forehead lit up again. In the past ten years, Qingfeng Dao Chang has never seen the word "Yan" on Ji Tianci's forehead again. At this time, he was very afraid that Ji Tianci would be like when he was six years old, rolling in pain because of this symbol.
However, this time the symbol looks much softer, just a faint white light, which is difficult to spot without looking carefully.
Ji Tianci's face was calm, but after a while, his long hair began to fly. There was no wind at this time, but his long hair flew high and fluctuated slowly and regularly. The wisp of green cloth slipped from his head, and his hair spread even more.
Ji Tianci raised his head to the crescent moon, his eyes were still closed, but the symbol on his forehead became brighter, sometimes golden, sometimes red, intertwined with the moonlight.
After a long time, the rain in the sky gradually stopped, and the symbol on Ji Tianci's forehead turned into a white light again, gradually disappearing.
He opened his eyes, his expression was a little sad, he seemed to "see" that in another space, there were his relatives calling out to him, the rain was like a woman's tears, and the strong feelings of longing only made people feel distressed.
Ji Tianci thought back to Fang Cai, just now the aura in the body according to the exercises, according to the exercises, operated the Tiantong Eye on its own, and it has not been effective before, and today this rain seems to contain a huge aura, with the help of this aura, he feels that he has "opened" this "spiritual eye".
He clearly "saw" the flow of aura around him, which was colorful and varied, flowing in all directions. He "looked" at his father beside him again, but what he saw was not his father's entity, but like the "life soul" mentioned in the book, this life soul was like a constantly changing shadow, not the appearance, but the inside, as if there was a light smoke constantly moving regularly in the "shadow".
After thinking for a while, Ji Tianci looked at his hands again in a daze.
Qingfeng Dao Chang also looked at Ji Tianci suspiciously, not knowing what he was doing. Suddenly, a faint light lit up on Ji Tianci's body, and the long hair that had been hanging down flew up again.
Ji Tianci threw his right hand forward suddenly, and a thumb-thick thunderbolt galloped out, shooting straight at a big tree outside the Taoist temple.
The moment the thunder appeared, the Qingfeng Dao Chang jumped up in fright, the courtyard of the Taoist temple was printed transparently, and the thunder light was like several slender electric snakes intertwined, not fleeting, but lasting for a second or two.
Qingfeng Dao Chang and Ji Tianci were both stunned, and the two-foot-diameter tree outside the door began to break from a one-person-high position, and the upper half slowly fell, and there seemed to be green smoke coming out of the gap.
Qingfeng Dao Chang turned his head to look at Ji Tianci, his eyes widened, and he stammered a little when he spoke: "This, this, what is this?"
Ji Tianci also stayed for a while, looked at his right hand with a solemn face, and replied with some uncertainty in his tone: "Maoshan Technique, Five Thunder Mantras." ”
