Chapter 8: Nine Transformations of Qi Refining
Jiang Xinyue tried to communicate with Uncle Gu in her mind, and called a few times, but no one responded, so she had to give up. He muttered, "Uncle Gu, you haven't taught me swordsmanship yet?"
found a black and white ancient mirror beside her, Jiang Xinyue picked it up and looked at it.
"The Yin and Yang Void Spirit Mirror? It doesn't seem to be any different from an ordinary bronze mirror. ”
Jiang Xinyue couldn't help but pour spiritual power into it, and her spiritual power was like a mud cow entering the sea, without a trace. He raised his eyebrows and said secretly: "This Yin and Yang Void Spirit Mirror, I'm afraid it's a great magic weapon." I'll put it away first, and then ask Uncle Gu when he wakes up. ”
Jiang Xinyue remembered that the spirit net scattered in the river had not been collected yet, and hurriedly ran to put away the spirit net.
This time I was lucky enough to catch three dragon catfish.
For several days, although Jiang Xinyue still practiced as usual, she did not go to the river to fish, but spent more time practicing the Hundred Ghost Tricks of Killing Immortals. During this period, he communicated with Uncle Gu countless times, but there was no response.
On this day, Jiang Xinyue meditated and practiced.
The Hundred Ghosts of the Immortals is a book of exercises that can be practiced to the feather period, and the book talks about the supernatural powers of ghosts. People have three souls and seven spirits, and the way of heaven has reincarnation and impermanence. After the physical bodies of mortals and monks are extinguished, those with strong spiritual and spiritual power can survive in heaven and earth with a wisp of obsession and relying on spirit and spirit. It's just that this wisp of qi, like the bright moon without roots and duckweed without fruit, is difficult to exist for a long time. If you don't live in a special environment, sooner or later you will dissipate between heaven and earth.
In the distant ancient times, there were otherworldly monks with great magical powers who studied the soul path, or sacrificed soul dao magic weapons, or collected the qi of Tianyin and Taiyin to raise ghosts.
This book of Immortal Hundred Ghosts is actually a book of exercises for cultivating soul mana, such as the Chiyun Dao people who can summon a hundred ghosts to travel during the cultivation to the Feather Period, which is really terrifying.
Jiang Xinyue practiced according to the mental formulas recorded in the Hundred Ghost Recipes of the Immortals, but found that many tricks could not be penetrated, and the operation of spiritual power was blocked. He knew very well that this was because he was not very talented, so even if he comprehended the mystery, it would be difficult for him to operate his spiritual power smoothly. Jiang Xinyue let out a long breath in her mouth and slowly stood up, ready to relax.
The snow outside the cave is fluttering like catkins, the clouds and the sky are the same color, and the thousands of miles are white. Jiang Xinyue watched the snow fall quietly, he was only an eleven-year-old child, and ordinary people were still childlike at this age. But Jiang Xinyue has suffered from the misery of the world in the past year, and has endured the loneliness that many people can hardly bear.
He built a snowman at the entrance of the cave and picked a few plum blossoms and stuck them on the snowman.
Lying in the snow, Jiang Xinyue's heart was as quiet as water, he didn't want to think about anything at this time, he let go of all the baggage in his heart, unloaded all the responsibilities, and lay there quietly.
"I didn't want to disturb you, but I only had a moment to wake up and fall back into a deep sleep. A voice sounded in Jiang Xinyue's mind, causing him to tremble.
Jiang Xinyue communicated with her heart: "Uncle Gu, have you woken up?"
Uncle Gu smiled: "You don't have to worry about me, I'm fine, I've just recovered, and during this time, I will be very weak." Also, your cultivation is too low, Linghai can't bear my activities, and if I communicate with you for too long, you won't be able to bear it. ”
Uncle Gu continued: "You can hear my words clearly. Xinyue, your foundation is not enough, and your foundation is thin, even with my help, it is still difficult to quickly improve your cultivation. And all the way to practice, you need someone to explain it to you in detail, but I don't have much time to be sober, so you need to find a sect to take refuge in now. ”
Jiang Xinyue nodded, but thinking that she had been rejected by the Spirit Sword Sect once, she didn't have any confidence in her heart.
Uncle Gu seemed to see what Jiang Xinyue was thinking, and said, "Are you worried about your root bones?" As far as I know, there is only one Immortal Dao sect in the Spirit Sword Sect within a radius of several thousand miles, and your root bones are indeed difficult to be favored by the Spirit Sword Sect. Everything is from easy to difficult, and more than 2,000 miles west from here, there is a one-star cultivator sect called the Mixed Yuan Sect. ”
Jiang Xinyue frowned, and said lightly: "One-star cultivation sect, it's the same as my one-star roots." ”
Seeing that he was laughing at himself, Uncle Gu shook his head and said, "In this world, there are not only many ordinary people, but also many geniuses, but those who can really rise are those who have great perseverance. Xinyue, if you want to correct your path and embark on the path of cultivation, in addition to having a patient heart, you must also have a normal heart. ”
Uncle Gu's words made Jiang Xinyue feel empowered.
He nodded and said, "I've also heard my dad say that the original intention is easy to forget, and the original heart is difficult to keep. Uncle Gu, you must be such a knowledgeable person!"
Uncle Gu glanced at Jiang Xinyue and said, "Do you always feel that your spiritual power will be lost inexplicably when you are practicing, and you still have the feeling that your spiritual veins are blocked?"
Jiang Xinyue was shocked and nodded again and again.
Uncle Gu said: "A vicious insect has been planted in your body, this insect is called the Soul Eating Silkworm, which parasitizes the monk's body and devours spiritual power and essence blood. Fortunately, your cultivation is still low, and this worm will not grow much in your body. Uncle Gu said as he pinched his fingers towards Jiang Xinyue Tianling.
A blood-colored silkworm appeared in Uncle Gu's hand, and his breath was dying.
Jiang Xinyue snatched the spirit eater silkworm and kicked it into the stomach.
"This disgusting worm has made me so miserable. ”
Jiang Xinyue said in her heart: "It's not that old ghost of Chiyun or that thin man, it's really ruthless." The two of them had already fallen, and Jiang Xinyue only scolded a few words to vent her hatred.
Uncle Gu laughed twice, and only said: "Xinyue, in the next time, I will pass on a set of exercises to you, and you have to memorize it carefully." ”
Jiang Xinyue nodded, Uncle Gu pinched the trick with both hands, stretched out his middle finger and pressed it on Jiang Xinyue's forehead. Jiang Xinyue had a Taoist technique in her mind, only a few thousand words, but it was obscure.
Uncle Gu glanced at Jiang Xinyue and said, "This Nine Turns Qi Refining Record is just right for you to practice now, and the Nine Turns correspond to the nine realms of the Qi Refining Period. If you practice according to the mental method recorded above, the efficiency will be much faster than the Hundred Ghost Tricks you are cultivating now. ”
Jiang Xinyue was secretly surprised, Uncle Gu actually knew the Hundred Ghost Tricks of Killing Immortals that he practiced, wouldn't he be able to see his every move.
Uncle Gu saw through Jiang Xinyue's thoughts and said, "You can rest assured, I have no interest in your privacy. ”
Jiang Xinyue flattered: "Uncle Gu, you are so powerful, is there any better Taoism to teach me?"
Uncle Gu said expressionlessly: "Isn't it a good thing to be insatiable, if you can cultivate to the foundation building period, I will naturally have a higher level of practice to pass on to you." ”
Jiang Xinyue smiled and said, "Uncle Gu, you can rest assured, I will definitely work hard." ”
Uncle Gu nodded and said, "Since you choose to practice swordsmanship, I will pass on your two-style sword moves." ”
Uncle Gu pressed Jiang Xinyue's forehead again, and two swordsmanship moves appeared in Jiang Xinyue's mind. A move is like a dragon going out to sea, and the dragon attacks the moon, called Benlei a sword. There is also a trick like an immortal guiding the way, called the Canglong Sword.
Uncle Gu's voice continued to sound in Jiang Xinyue's spiritual sea, and said, "This time, I will teach you Dao techniques, and I will sleep for at least more than ten days. Xinyue, you must remember to hide the Yin and Yang Void Spirit Mirror, this mirror is a magic weapon to the sky, once exposed, with your strength to carry out its crimes, it will definitely bring you disaster. ”
Jiang Xinyue was also going to ask Uncle Gu how to use the Yin Yang Void Spirit Mirror, but Uncle Gu's figure became dim and fell into a deep sleep again.
"Uncle Gu said that he would sleep for more than ten days, and I must join the Mixed Yuan Sect before he wakes up. Jiang Xinyue clenched her fists.
Any sect in the cultivation realm is divided into star stars by strength, for example, the strongest evergreen sect in the Northern Regions, because of the existence of Heavenly Ancestors in the sect, it is the only five-star sect in the entire Northern Regions. Generally speaking, the level of a sect is closely related to the strongest cultivator in the sect. If it is a one-star sect that has been inherited for a long time, and a monk in the Dan stage is born in the sect, he can apply to the Gu Ming Star Cultivation Alliance to be promoted to a two-star sect.
Countless sects in the entire Gu Ming Star Cultivation Realm are under the management of the Xiuzhen Alliance, and the one-star sect is promoted to a two-star sect, and you can also get more regional resources and cultivation resources allocated by the Xiuzhen Alliance. This is one of the reasons why many sects recruit genius disciples, one is for long-term investment, and the other is for the inheritance of the sect's exercises and history.
The Spirit Sword Sect is a four-star sect, and it is famous, so it naturally looks down on Jiang Xinyue, who has one-star qualifications, but the Mixed Yuan Sect is not necessarily.
The attraction of a one-star sect to a genius disciple is far less than that of a high-star sect, but a one-star sect must also be passed on. In addition to being forced to accept some disciples with inferior roots, the one-star sect also needs to recruit many disciples who are not wanted by other sects, and even the one-star roots and bones that they look down on as out-of-mountain disciples. If the one-star sect wants to protect itself, it can only do this, this is not an indiscriminate number, but a qualitative change in the number of prayers. It's like surfing the sand, and there may be an outlier among the thousands of ordinary bones.
Jiang Xinyue put the spirit net and the Yin Yang Void Spirit Mirror into the storage bag, and prepared to leave for the Mixed Yuan Sect early tomorrow morning.
Before leaving, Jiang Xinyue was drenched in moonlight, and he returned to the foot of the village to worship in front of his father's grave for a while.
He was so grief-stricken that he didn't think deeply about who had harmed more than 100 people in the village. There is no one alive in the village, and there are no clues to be found. Jiang Xinyue recalled the bloody case, and now that she thinks about it, things are not so simple.
Jiang Xinyue muttered: "If I have cultivated the Great Dao, I won't have to worry about not being able to catch the villain, Uncle Gu said that I have the opportunity to cultivate to the Yuan Infant Stage, if this is the case, the child will definitely avenge his father." ”
Jiang Xinyue kowtowed a few times, took a firewood knife and cut off the weeds on the side of the yellow grave. Then he returned to Chiyun Cave and worshiped at the graves of Song Liang and Chiyun for a while.
This night, the stars were shining, like the sorrow in his heart.
Jiang Xinyue couldn't calm down in his heart for a while, he thought for a while whether Hong'er had returned to Lotus Mountain, and for a while he thought about who Uncle Gu was, and then thought about what happened to Fang Ruyi now? Thinking about it left and right, Jiang Xinyue's heart became more and more annoyed.
"If you can't figure it out, it's better not to think about it, it's better to try the Nine Transformations Qi Refining Record that Uncle Gu asked me to practice. Jiang Xinyue thought of doing it.
He swept the dust off the floor and sat up cross-legged.
