The old way swept away with a whisk and disappeared in place with the little dragon. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
In the Taoist temple, Xiaolong had just entered the gate of the inner courtyard, and at this time he crossed the first line drawn by incense ash.
Taking another step, the little dragon arrived at a cave. For everything he had been through before, Xiaolong understood that this might be a test.
The little dragon carefully observed the cave where he was, there was no entrance, but the sky could be seen from the top of the cave, but it was night. The starlight sprinkled on the floor of the cave as if it were covered with a layer of hoarfrost.
The cave was very rudimentary, with a desk, a bed, and a bookcase.
Xiaolong first went to flip through the books and found that these were all books on cultivation. Could it be that you let yourself cultivate to a certain level and then go out on your own?
Xiaolong read the most basic books, read each book three times first, and then tried to cultivate after understanding it.
No wonder people often say that there is no time in the mountains where the gods live, and it turns out that when you cultivate, you will really forget the time.
Xiaolong wrote down all the books in the cave, practiced day after day, and every day when it was time to eat, the cave would have its own meal.
And Xiaolong only needs to cultivate and cultivate, and time passes very slowly in the claustrophobic cave.
As his cultivation deepened, Xiaolong slowly understood what the test of this level was, that is, to see if he could endure loneliness.
Cultivators are lonely, and as their practice deepens and their life expectancy increases, in the end, only they may be able to endure the loneliness of cultivating the path in order to achieve success.
Xiaolong successfully built a foundation in the cave, and after his cultivation deepened, he was able to achieve Bigu, and there was no food in the cave again.
On this day, he finally broke through the first realm of cultivation to refine and refine qi, and entered the realm of refining qi and transforming gods.
At this time, he can finally fly, and those who have cultivated to this realm in the human world can be regarded as having achieved something. Because except for the cultivation taught by the masters of the sect or the famous mountains and rivers, it is difficult for ordinary casual cultivation to break through to the refining of qi and transforming the gods.
In addition to the strong bloodline of the same monsters, there are few who have come to this realm, of course, the monsters in the realm of refining qi and transforming gods are all big demons, and they have unique talents and can be transformed into human form.
After Xiaolong broke through, he spent another period of time meditating and practicing steadily.
On this day, the little dragon stood up, and his feet were like stepping on an auspicious cloud and flew out of the top of the cave.
Xiaolong still appeared in the Taoist temple, and then he took another step and crossed the second incense gray line.
One step down, one step to the world.
The little dragon found himself in a town, and he first walked around and found nothing, so he flew towards the outside of the town, but every ten miles outside the town he returned to the other direction of the town.
"It seems that the test is in this town, but I don't think there is anything strange about it?" Xiaolong thought to himself.
So he first found an inn to settle down and see what was going on.
On this day, Xiaolong walked down the street, and all kinds of shouting and selling rushed into his ears.
"Selling sugar gourds, two pennies a string, not delicious and no money."
"Selling buns, selling buns."
"Don't miss it when you pass by, it sells unique spices and rouge gouaches imported from the Western Regions, as well as various accessories."
"Buy a mask, let's buy one! This mask looks great on it. The dragon waved his hand and walked away.
He saw that there was a crowd of people in front of him, so he also looked forward. It turned out to be a few showmen, who were playing with a big knife, and there was a cheer all around.
A little girl was collecting money with a plate on one side, and a lame old man was sitting on the other side looking at the utensils.
There was a sudden coaxing around them, "We're going to see a big rock on our chest." ā
"Yes, a big rock in the chest!"
Under the coaxing of everyone, the trickster had to perform a chest stone. I saw that the man was lying on the bench holding a piece of bluestone, and the lame old man next to him came over with a hammer and was about to smash it down.
"Slow down, this old man, your legs are inconvenient, so call my subordinates!" I saw the crowd parting, and an extremely beautiful girl and a subordinate dressed up walked into the circle.
"Zhu Dali, you go and help the old man." The girl instructed one of her subordinates.
"Don't bother, these rough jobs should be done by us sluts, and those who don't dare to bother the girl do it." The lame old man refused.
"Old man, there's nothing troublesome, I, Zhu Dali, just have the strength, it's okay, you get out of the way, I'll do it." The servant grabbed the hammer from the old man's hand and gently pushed the old man away.
Xiaolong noticed that the old man's face was pale, and a cold sweat broke out.
Only then did he notice that there was something wrong with the bluestone that the trickster was holding, but at this time, Zhu Dali roared and swung the hammer and smashed it towards the bluestone.
The trickster took a big breath, tightened his body, and his face turned red. But with this hammer, a mouthful of blood spurted out of him.
Zhu Dali threw away the hammer in fright when he saw it, "This, why can't he bear this, this person won't die!" Everyone testified that he performed a chest smashing boulder by himself, and it was none of my business. ā
"Okay, Zhu Dali, you come back first." The girl in red came up and picked up the gravel on the ground and pinched it, and it turned into sand and ashes.
"Look, this bluestone is a fake stone made of limestone." The girl spread out her palms for everyone to see.
"Oh, that's a lie."
"Damn it, dare to cheat me out of my money."
"Fortunately, Miss Lin saw through the scam of this gang and saved us from being fooled."
There was a burst of scolding around them, and saliva and vegetables, eggs, etc., all beckoned to these performers. Some people grabbed the money from the copper plate on the ground and ran, while the little girl ran over to help her father cry.
The people around them scattered, and the girl in red also walked away with her subordinates.
Xiaolong didn't leave, and was about to step forward to take a look at the injured artist, when he suddenly ran over to a girl in Tsing Yi with a medicine basket on her back.
Xiaolong noticed that this girl exuded a faint demonic aura, although it was covered by the fragrance of medicine, it could still be seen from his cultivation.
"It seems that the key to this level is this monster."
Since there was no medical equipment and medicine, the girl in Tsing Yi could only treat her injuries urgently, and Xiaolong also went up to help.
The girl in Tsing Yi asked everyone to help carry this trickster to her pharmacy first, but no one passed by to help her.
The little dragon said, "I can do it!" This sister, I don't know if your pharmacy is far away? ā
"It's not far, just two turns ahead. In this case, we will use this bench to carry him over, you lift his head, I will lift his head. ā
In this way, Xiaolong and the girl in Tsing Yi carried the trickster to the pharmacy, and the little girl also came to carry it along the way, but she still kept shedding tears. And the lame old man also followed with crutches.
