Chapter 38: Efforts to Practice

Before dawn, sitting at the entrance of the shrine, Hakurei Reimu watched Fujiwara Noriki panting and climbing up from the foot of the mountain, already exhausted and about to collapse.

"How's it going, do you feel it?" Seeing Fujiwara Ki lying on the ground panting continuously, Reimu held the teacup and handed it to him, Fujiwara Ki took it unceremoniously, and poured it down with a grunt.

"What's the feeling. Fujiwara Kiyori groaned a few times weakly, and complained to himself, "Except for being tired to death, it doesn't do anything at all." ”

"That's because you're stupid. Reimu shook her head, "That demon dream is a good method, but it's really not suitable for you, since you can't do it directly by enlightenment, let's change the way." ”

Reimu thought about it for a while, beat his hands and made a decision, pulling Fujiwara Ki and carrying his arm towards the back mountain of Hakurei Shrine.

Extremely high in the air, Fujiwara Ki grabbed Reimu's arm in horror, although it was not the first time that he had been taken by someone to fly, but in the absence of safety measures, he still felt extremely terrifying.

Yuyuko-sama said that it was difficult for her to die, Fujiwara Ki didn't understand what this so-called difficult death was, she mentioned Penglai medicine, the medicine that blurred the line between life and death, as long as the soul is still there, even if there is only a strand of hair left, it can regenerate a complete body. Fujiwara Ki doesn't know the principle of Penglai medicine or something, but according to the effect, the power of rejuvenation that Yuyuko infuses into herself is also a mixture of the realms of life and death, so that he is not a living person now, but he is not dead, and this is what should be said about being half-dead.

A half-dead person has no boundary between life and death, and if he falls from the sky, under the action of the power of soul return, will he also grow a complete body?

I hope there will never be a day when I try - if only I could fly.

Reimu took Fujiwara Ki to fly in the back mountain for a while, and took him to a lake, on the other side of the lake, a huge Western-style pavilion sits - it is not the Red Devil Pavilion, Fujiwara Ki knows the location of the Red Devil Pavilion very well, the Lake of Fog to the west is 108,000 miles away from here, although they are all Western-style pavilions built next to the lake, but it is obvious that it does not have the conspicuous bell tower.

"This is here?" asked Fujiwara curiously after landing.

"This is a place where big monsters live, so don't usually come here. Reimu warned in a serious tone, and Yan SΓΉ's expression looked serious.

"Big youkai?" There are big youkai living near Hakurei Shrine, and Fujiwara really doesn't know.

"Yes, Kazami Yuka, I'm afraid he's the scariest guy among the youkai. "Hakurei Reimu is also not sure about the strength of the Gensokyo monsters, just like Yakumo Murasaki's strange methods, which are also unpredictable.

"I'll rub it, Mom Flower!" Fujiwara shouted in surprise.

In the East, the daimyo of Kazami Yuka is as thunderous as Yakumo Murasaki - like Yakumo Murasaki, who is always a seventeen-year-old girl, Kazami Yuka, the lord of flowers in the four seasons, also has the nickname of Queen S, and Fujiwara Ji Although he doesn't know the other party's appearance, he has heard of this name for a long time, and he also knows the horror of the other party - in short, he is a very dangerous character.

"Do you know?" Reimu asked when he saw Fujiwara Nori's reaction.

"I don't know, I've just heard of it, but why does she live here? "Judging by some of the known settings, doesn't she like to stay in her sunflower field?

"Why can't you be here?" Reimu tilted her head and looked at Fujiwara Ki strangely, but she didn't want to say too much about Kazami Yuka, and after warning her again not to take the initiative to provoke the other party, she let Fujiwara Ki come to the lake.

"Can you swim?"

"No, it won't. Fujiwara hung his head in shame.

"That's just right. Hakuri Reimu laughed, and then asked, "What do you think Naqi is?"

"It's just breathing. "Fujiwara remembers that many novels are written like this.

"Hehe, I only talked about the fur, but I won't tell you directly. Reimu shook his head, "Since you are practicing Dao Techniques, Qi is essential. Well, there are also some Taoist elements in the practice of the Hakurei shrine maiden, and if you talk about it, the Hakurei shrine can also be regarded as a teaching. ”

Reimu deviated slightly from the topic and rambled a few words, then continued: "The original purpose of cultivation is to maintain health, and the so-called health preservation, because of nourishment, is not to ask you how long you can live, but to be prepared to live for so long if you want to live. Some people have a rough life as soon as they are born, and they just want to live a life of self-consciousness and pain as soon as possible; It is normal for some people to want to live for a while longer. ”

"So......" Reimu stopped and looked at Fujiwara Ki, "If you want to become an immortal, you must be prepared to become an immortal, and maybe all the things you were attached to before will also become a cloud of smoke." ”

"I'm ready for this. Fujiwara nodded, and Yuyuko-sama had also asked him, and he was no longer entangled in this issue.

"In that case, let's try a little harder. ”

Then Fujiwara Ki was pushed into the water and struggled desperately.

On the shore, Hakuri Reimu shouted, "Empty your dantian and breathe with the acupuncture points on your body, like a balloon that has swelled, and draw natural qi from the surroundings." ”

Pushed into the water by Hakurei Reimu, the idea of murder flashed in Fujiwara's mind,

Extremely nervous, because his life was mortally threatened, blood filled his brain, making his senses unusually clear, especially the feeling of suffocation really made him worse than dead.

It didn't take long for Fujiwara's movements to get smaller, and Hakurei Reimu frowned, already ready to pull Fujiwara out of the lake, but soon, on the quiet lake, Fujiwara's figure reappeared, and continued to struggle - this guy, Reimu stopped and looked at him angrily.

Three minutes passed, and Fujiwara was still tossing in the water......

For seven minutes, his struggles were still quite energetic......

Ten minutes, twenty minutes...... Reimu's face darkened, you guy, don't you really know how to swim?

At the same time, the underwater Fujiwara Kiki is so depressed that he wants to vomit blood. If it's just drowning and hanging up, forget it, it's a big deal to report to the Four Seasons Yingji, whether you want to be reincarnated, or stay in Baiyulou as an undead, you can choose. But it's clear that it's all here, and he still can't die, and the feeling that life is worse than death is about to collapse him.

However, when the choked water filled the chest cavity, Fujiwara Ki really wanted to die, and at this time Fujiwara Ki had already enlarged the chest cavity with his best efforts, but the lungs filled with water could no longer bring a little air.

With his hands clutching his chest in pain and his nails digging into his flesh, Fujiwara was in pain as if he was going to tear out his entire lungs.

Reimu Hakurei on the shore is still standing by.

Slowly, Fujiwara sank underwater, and the cold and darkness swallowed him, but his consciousness was extremely clear.

The agitation of the chest stopped, and even if the mouth grew and wanted to inhale even a little air, there was nothing but the lake.

When the pain accumulated to the extreme, the muscles in various parts of Fujiwara's body tensed, and his abdomen bulged and he gasped fiercely.

In an instant, something fresh was injected into the body, and the feeling made the body seem to turn on a switch, and a trickle continued to pour from under the skin, and every cell of the body was greedily devouring the surrounding breath.

This Tongtai made Fujiwara Ki's fierce consciousness that was about to collapse relaxed, lost the threat of life and death, and the stimulation in his soul disappeared. Finally, Fujiwara Kiki closed his eyes comfortably and slowly fell into a coma.

In the haze, he only heard the splash of water coming from his eardrums.
