Jinguang Temple Chapter 45 Fang Wai (3)
(45)
"It must be as you say, someone has improved this place to make it look the same as the outside. It seems that people who can have this kind of means, even if they can't say that they can't re-establish the earth, can be regarded as reopening the world, then they can really be called sages!" Yu Wenlei praised.
"Yes, not only is it spring-like all year round, but it is even windy and rainy. I think it was the master who cast a spell against the heavens here, causing the algae on the roof of the cave to drain water from time to time to form rain, and at the same time, when the temperature of the algae respiration rises, the cold air from the large lake in the distance flows horizontally to form a gentle breeze. He went to great lengths to bring this place closer to a complete world.
Another wonderful thing is that the algae light on the top of the cave is the same as the white sun outside, gradually extinguishing after six hours, and then lighting up after another six hours, and the cycle repeats itself. ”
Yu Wenlei bowed his head and said: "No wonder when we came, the top of our heads was pitch black, and there was only flying fluorescent light, it turned out that this algae light was synchronized with the outside world." I really admire this master, not only has the ability to penetrate the world, but also has a very thoughtful mind. ”
"That's true, in the past, my senior sister and I used to stay here for a while, and we carefully searched the tens of thousands of acres of space. At the time, I just thought the sky was strange, but I didn't see a flaw. Chu Zhuang said.
Then he added: "Later, when we were in a hurry to go out, Senior Sister was ruthless, so we found an edge, used the light talisman to rise to a high place, and then wedged the ice blade into the rock crevice to make an ice ladder.
It took a few more cycles like this until we barely reached the shortest point along the edge of the hole. When Chu Zhuang said this, he stretched out his finger and pointed to a place above his finger, leading Yu Wenlei to look there.
"Senior sister began to think that this was a valley like a deep well, so it was the exit of the valley. As a result, with the touch of her hand, she realized that the so-called blue sky was nothing more than slippery glowing algae. It was only then that we realized the secret of the cave and gave it the name 'Fang Wai'. ”
"Uncle Chu, how did you get the key to Han Tan? Also, how did you find this place?" Yu Wenlei asked a little curiously, this place is not something that can be found casually, and I don't know if the key to open the stone door is only in Uncle Chu's hand.
"Well, I was going to tell Zi Xuan's girl at the beginning, but who knew that she was in a hurry at the time, so I didn't go into details. If you want to hear it, I'll tell you. Chu Zhuang perked up and then said.
Yu Wenlei secretly thought to himself, it is estimated that the situation was very critical at that time, Zixuan was afraid that I would wake up, so that she would disappear, and I was even more afraid that the enemy was still lurking nearby at that time, and she would be tired of coping, how could she have the time to listen to your ramblings. Now that I'm here, it's safe and there's time, and I'm right to relieve my boredom.
Thinking of this, he said, "Just tell me, I really want to hear it." ”
So the two of them sat on the ground, and Chu Zhuang thought for a moment before he spoke: "This matter should have been talked about for more than thirty years, and it was still before that spiritual weapon master called something, oh, by the way, it seems that Feng Xizhe's guy went to Chongyang Guan to provoke it." ”
Yu Wenlei sighed, and then echoed: "In this way, you were not a few years older than I am now. ”
"I was fifteen years old, three years older than you, and my sister was eighteen years old at the time. Master ordered her to take me out on a tour, to subdue demons and eliminate demons along the way, and to eliminate harm to the people.
Once, we passed by a small mountain village more than 100 miles away from here, the village was deep in the woods, the dogs barked, and the mountains and rivers were connected and lonely and dark.
Then the senior sister found that most of the villagers in the village were sick, walking staggeringly, and looking very unenergetic. After a thorough investigation, we found out that it was a new Taoist priest in the village, who went to the only well at the entrance of the village every night to poison it.
Without the villagers knowing, after drinking the water from the well, they will become weak, and then the Taoist priest will appear in his original form to absorb their essence and help him cultivate. ”
"Ah, Uncle Chu, it turns out that the Taoist priest is not a human, but a goblin!" Yu Wenlei said.
"It's a toad. Chu Zhuang explained: "Senior sister's temper has always been upright, and when we found out the truth, she was furious and led the villagers to find the goblin theory. Unexpectedly, he was bitten by a toad spirit and framed us two strangers for making trouble in the dark and poisoning the whole village.
Senior sister and I couldn't bear it anymore, so we fought him on the spot. Although the goblin cultivated into a human form, his Taoism was far worse than ours, and after a few rounds, the two of us joined forces to take it down.
The senior sister forced him to hand over the antidote, otherwise she summoned hellfire and burned him alive. By the way, Senior Sister is a fire attribute spell master. ”
Yu Wenlei thought to himself, Aunt Meng's temper is usually straightforward and frank, and it is also very appropriate for her to be a fire attribute charmer.
"Who knew that that guy was particularly insidious and vicious, after he took out the antidote, he took advantage of his sister's paralysis and carelessness, and suddenly used his original form to suddenly apply a cold arrow and attack his sister with venom.
After my sister was poisoned and fell to the ground, the toad spirit didn't pay attention to me, thinking that I was just a teenager who had been dancing for more than a year, and I was simply vulnerable.
Although I know that I saw that my senior sister was hurt, in a situation of emotional anger, I stimulated my potential. In the end, the goblin was repelled.
When the monster had fled, I threw the antidote into the well. Later, the villagers drank the well water, and sure enough, their condition showed signs of improvement.
However, my sister drank the water from the well with the antidote, but it had little effect. So I decided that the poison in her was not the same as that of the villagers. ”
In desperation, I asked the villagers about the origin of the demonic path. The villagers told me that when the Taoist priest first came, he had inadvertently mentioned that he had come from a Taoist temple more than 100 miles away, and had come here to enlighten the people to spend time in the cultivation of immortals.
So I picked up my sister and went to him to ask for an antidote, but relying only on the clues provided by the villagers was tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack. Seeing that my senior sister was getting more and more poisoned, just when I was at a loss, fortunately, with the help of a sentient goblin, I found the nameless Han Tan, which is the nest of the toad spirit. ”
"Could it be that it's still Wong Tai Sin?" Yu Wenlei interjected.
"This time it's not a yellow skin, it's a spirit snake. Although the cultivation is not high, but the perception is very strong, and it is rare to have a strong sense of justice.
Under her guidance, I found the deep pool and fought the toad spirit, and finally succeeded in killing him, and obtained the key from him. ”
After Chu Zhuang finished speaking, he took out the key again and placed it in front of the two of them. Then he said: "But I didn't find the antidote on the toad essence, so in desperation, I sneaked to the bottom of the pool with the key on my back, and finally arrived here." ”
Hearing this, Yu Wenlei was puzzled: "Uncle Chu, how do you know that the mechanism that needs this key is hidden at the bottom of the pool?"
"It was the toad spirit who said before he died, the reason why he was willing to live in the deep pool was because he got the key by chance, and found out that the mechanism was at the bottom of the deep pool. Chu Zhuang said.
"How did Aunt Meng's poison get rid of it later? Could it be that this is already the toad spirit's lair, and he hid the antidote somewhere?" Yu Wenlei continued to ask.
Chu Zhuang shook his head and smiled: "I can guarantee that the leper toad has never been here at all." Because when I dived down with my sister on my back, the stone wall at the bottom of the pool was densely covered with algae, and it looked like it had not been opened for at least a few hundred years.
Besides, the bottom of the deep pool was bitterly cold, and even if he cultivated into a human form, he couldn't dive that deep, so I think he went to the village to absorb the essence of the living.
As for how the poison in the senior sister was cured, it's not worth mentioning to say it, it's the zhuguo you ate yesterday.
Don't look at the vermilion fruit trees that grow here, which are shady and lush, but they have always been extremely rare in the outside world. As far as I know, the only few trees on this continent are also separated by mountains and huge seas, and they are so different from each other that ordinary people don't know about them.
Its fruit trees bloom for a hundred years, bear fruit for a hundred years, and the effect of the fruit is extremely powerful after ripening, ordinary people can not only dispel diseases and prolong life, strengthen the body, and the cultivators can increase their cultivation after taking it, and the condensation of true qi and spiritual power has been greatly improved, so both the spell master and the spiritual weapon master regard it as a supreme wonderful product. ”
Yu Wenlei said: "No wonder I felt much smoother than usual when I meditated and practiced last night, it turns out that it can not only quench hunger and thirst, but also have all kinds of benefits." ”
Chu Zhuang nodded in agreement, and then said: "After we came here back then, Senior Sister was already dying, and her life was like a thread. I picked a vermilion fruit from the tree and gave it to her, and in a few moments, the toad poison in her was detoxified by six points, and then she gradually woke up.
We stayed here for more than a month, and we didn't find a way to get out until my sister's injuries were all healed. When Chu Zhuang said this, his face showed a look of fascination, as if he had returned to the days when he and his senior sister went to the end of the world with a sword.
Yu Wenlei didn't make a sound to remind, but just sat silently with Chu Zhuang, he not only felt sorry for Uncle Chu who was still alone when he was more than half a hundred years old, but also could steal half a day of leisure and take a proper rest.
In the days that followed, the two practiced more diligently.
Yu Wenlei runs two small weeks every morning and evening, and then clears up a level of Tiangang big week, and half of the rest of the time is used to practice physical arts.
Chu Zhuang earnestly taught him that no matter how powerful a qualified spell master is, he also needs a strong physical support, so it is extremely important to be agile.
Take the jade mother-in-law as an example, although she was restrained by the big disciples of the Heavenly King Pavilion in her magic, but in addition, her physical skills were obviously inferior to the other party, and she was more embarrassed to lose.
After practicing the body, Chu Zhuang took the time to teach him to recite various mantras and learn the seal gestures of each technique. Yu Wenlei continued like this every day, diligently.
As for Chu Zhuang, in addition to teaching Yu Wenlei to practice, it was with the help of taking Zhu Guo that the blocked meridians in the body were gradually opened, and finally the true qi was condensed and injected into the dantian. It took him almost a year to take this step.
The remaining step is to convert the aura into spiritual power and try to channel it out. This step is very dangerous and abnormal, and if he is not careful, he may lose all his previous achievements, and his spiritual power will return to the initial state of the first level, and his forty years of spiritual power penance cultivation will be in vain.
Chu Zhuang didn't dare to be careless at all, he took advantage of the time when his aura was the most vigorous every night, so he sat alone in the garden among the herbs and flowers, and with the help of the essence of heaven and earth, he tried to run the aura in his qi sea cave to his fingers.
In this way, he practiced replacing the aura with spiritual power over and over again, and when the aura was fully converted, he would draw the talisman again, thus avoiding the risk of forcibly drawing the talisman if the spiritual power could not reach the fourth level.
In this way, unconsciously, Yu Wenlei and Chu Zhuang stayed in this place outside the world for nearly a year and a half.
In this not a short period of time, Chu Zhuang finally restored his skills to his original level, and he learned a painful lesson and transformed individual spells to develop new spells.
And Yu Wenlei memorized all kinds of mantra seals and memorized them in his heart, and his physical skills should have reached the level of a junior disciple of Chongyang Guan with Chu Zhuang's visual measurements.
At the same time, in the process of cultivation, Yu Wenlei's understanding of spells has improved to a higher level, and his aura has also improved by leaps and bounds, reaching the ninth level, even if he has not broken through a section, but it should not be far away. The only regret is that the true qi has never broken through the first layer, and even Chu Zhuang feels strange, and he doesn't know what the reason is.
