Chapter 12, five years
In the Taoist temple, five years passed quickly, and on this day, the sky above the Alchemy Pavilion was a vision, auspicious clouds were swirling, and it turned out that the old Taoist alchemy was successful. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Lao Dao pinched the trick and pointed to the Dan furnace, the lid of the furnace flew up, and a few golden elixirs floated out of it, which were included in the gourd.
At this time, Xiaolong was practicing in the Library Pavilion, and five years had passed, and Xiaolong's current cultivation was already in the late stage of refining qi and transforming gods. However, this period of time seems to have fallen into a bottleneck, and the speed of cultivation has slowed down significantly from the rapid progress at the beginning to the present.
A divine thought suddenly came into Xiaolong's mind, and it was Lao Dao who told him to go to the Alchemy Pavilion.
Xiaolong stopped his cultivation and flew straight to the Alchemy Pavilion, Lao Dao sat on the futon in front of the Dan furnace, and when he saw Xiaolong coming in, he said, "Xiaolong, how long have you been from entering the meditation to today?" ”
"Back to Master, it's been five years since the disciple officially joined your sect."
"Well, I see that your cultivation has reached the late stage of refining Qi and transforming the gods now, is your current cultivation speed full?" Lao Dao nodded and continued to ask.
"Yes, Master, I feel that my cultivation speed is obviously much slower than before, and I feel like I have entered a bottleneck period, does Master have a solution?"
"This is a normal phenomenon, because if you go to a small realm, you will have to break through to the realm of refining gods and returning to the void, that is, the realm of true immortals. Therefore, it is not possible to cultivate all the time like this, to experience the changes of Hongchen and understand the truth of heaven and earth. ”
"Master means to tell me to go out for training?"
"Well, it's good for you to go out and experience some more things. Only after crawling in the red dust can you condense your own Dao heart even more. Besides, you have parents who are not far away, and now that you have been out for five years, it is time to go back and have a look. ”
"Master, I wonder if my father and mother are okay now?"
"Fortunately, although it is late and old. But they have the blessing of heaven and can be stable for a few years. Xiaolong breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
At this time, Lao Dao conjured a gourd and flew into Xiaolong's hand, "This is the Qiankun Yin and Yang gourd given to you by the teacher, there are two spaces in it, one can hold things, and the other can catch demons." I also put two pills in this gourd, and you will naturally use them when you go out to practice this time. ”
Xiaolong accepted the gourd and thanked the master, and then tied the gourd around his waist.
"I wonder if Master can give me some more pills that can increase people's longevity?" Xiaolong wanted to bring some pills back to his parents.
"Xiaolong, although there is an elixir here that can increase people's longevity, they can't give it to you. Human life and death have their own certainty, and even we cultivators cannot change it at will. Your father and mother raised you, so this heaven and earth blessed them with a safe life, and this period of cause and effect was ended. ”
After Lao Dao rejected Xiaolong, he saw Xiaolong's gloomy mood and continued: "We cultivators seem to be omnipotent among mortals, but in fact, we cultivators don't live for ourselves after all, and it may take you a long time to understand this as a teacher. The higher your cultivation realm, the more you will feel such helplessness. ”
Xiaolong didn't understand what the meaning of Master's words was at this time, but he heard that he couldn't arbitrarily change the Yang Shou of mortals, so he didn't force it anymore, and it was enough for his father and mother to live a safe life.
"Xiaolong's experience this time is also destined by you, and it is inconvenient to reveal too much about the karma as a teacher. Go and bring some healing and some useful elixir in the back! ”
After Xiaolong went out of the Alchemy Pavilion, he was ready to pack up and leave the Taoist Temple.
He went back to his courtyard to pack his things, and then called the crane with a whistle, and carried him around again.
I picked some spirit fruits and needed elixirs in the outer courtyard and put them in the gourd, and then went to see the two stone beasts waiting for the elixir garden in the inner courtyard.
In the end, I went to every place, and I said goodbye to the two senior brothers. I first went to the place of the third senior brother Wang Hongji, and heard that Xiaolong was going out to practice, and asked him to be more careful outside, although now Xiaolong's cultivation is almost not in danger in the mortal world. The third senior brother said that he didn't have any gifts for him, so he took out a pot of spirit wine.
After that, he went to the fifth senior brother Du Yi, and when he heard that Xiaolong was here to say goodbye, he didn't pull him to teach him to refine weapons. In the past five years, Xiaolong has learned a lot of things from Du Yi, and his refining skills are also rare in the world. In the end, Du Yi, the fifth senior brother, gave the three gadgets he had refined to Xiaolong.
One is a cyan leaf, which can be enlarged and used for flight, although the speed is far less than that of Xiaolong's own supernatural powers.
The second piece is a flying sword, to be precise, a set of sword formations, this sword can be divided into eight sub-swords to form a sword array, trapping the enemy and killing the enemy in one thought. The senior brother said that the name of this sword is Purple Night.
The third piece is a set of inner armor, which can be refined into the body and released when needed, which has a strong protective effect.
After accepting these three treasures, Xiaolong thanked the fifth senior brother and refined them on the spot.
Everything has been taken care of, and it's time to leave the temple. Xiaolong finally made a big bow to the main hall where the master lived, and then opened the barrier of the Taoist temple and left.
Lao Dao looked at the direction in which Xiaolong left, nodded with a slight smile and said to himself, "Child, this ordeal was destined by you in your previous life, I hope you can deal with this cause and effect, and there are greater challenges waiting for you ahead." ”
After Xiaolong left the barrier of the Taoist temple, he looked back and saw that the Taoist temple had disappeared from the same place. However, he has a specific method that allows him to open the enchantment and see where the Taoist temple is.
Then he flew straight west, going home and having a look. Xiaolong took out the green leaf magic weapon, injected mana and went away after becoming larger, and the speed was indeed very fast.
Looking down through the clouds, Dashan Village was at the foot, and Xiaolong took the green leaf magic weapon and flew down. There weren't many people in the village at this time, because it was night.
The starlight sprinkled over the village, spreading a layer of hoarfrost on the ground, and the moon tonight was just a little crooked bud. The lights are on in the village, and they are almost in a hurry to cook.
Xiaolong looked at the plaque at the entrance of the village, Dashan Village, and many past events couldn't help but come to mind. The nostalgia is more timid, and the sight of things is more homesick. Xiaolong walked into the village with apprehension.
As he walked, suddenly a big yellow dog rushed out with bared teeth, and after seeing the person who came hesitating for a while, he pounced on the little dragon. Obviously, the big yellow dog recognized the little dragon, but five years have passed, and the big yellow dog is also old.
Ergouzi saw his dog rushing out, as if an outsider had come to the village, and he also went out to have a look. Seeing that Rhubarb was very affectionate to the visitor, he was very puzzled. Rhubarb is a stray dog from another village picked up by Xiaolong and Ergouzi when he was a child, and they used to raise it together, and after Xiaolong left, he was taken care of by Ergouzi.
The people that Xiaolong saw, although they have changed a lot over the years, can still vaguely see what they looked like when they were children. Coupled with the second dog's home, he naturally remembers it clearly.
"Ergouzi, you don't know me anymore?"
"You are? Dragons! You're finally back. Hearing someone call out this childhood nickname, I finally remembered the little brother who left when I was a child.
The little dragon stepped forward and hugged his brother.
"It's back! It's been okay all these years, my parents and ......."
"Our partners are all fine, and many of them are already married. Don't call me by my nickname, you see I have all the children. Ergouzi pointed to his wife holding the child at the door.
"Your father and mother are also in good health, aren't we still here, everyone is helping to take care of the second elder together! Why don't you come into my room and sit down for a while, have a meal, and then continue. ”
"No, I'll go back to see my father and mother first, and tomorrow our brothers will catch up with the old days." After saying that, Xiaolong said goodbye and went home first.
When the second dog returned home, his wife asked, "Who is here?" It looks fairy. ”
"It's a friend of mine from my childhood, I think I'm coming back, let's go into the house and continue eating."
