CHAPTER XXII
"I'm not asking you to simply consume spiritual power, you should think about it, how can you reasonably distribute your spiritual power, the same spiritual power is more effective, and the speed of recovering spiritual power is also very important for monks, how to recover spiritual power faster, you should think about it more, it's okay for us to delay it for a while, there are many people who collect Pansicao and Jinyu, and you can sell it to others." Huiyuan seemed to know her thoughts, and opened his mouth to correct her blind behavior.
Jingli bit her lower lip and nodded. She was reckless again, she should not rely only on brute force to solve the problem, she only saw that others had pills available, and took it for granted that they were faster than herself, but she did not think that since she could not change the objective conditions, she should find a way to improve the subjective conditions and better solve the problem.
After that, Jingli no longer used fire blindly, but carefully, controlled the flame in the palm of his hand, approached the silk grass with the palm of his hand, and burned the green skin little by little with a very small flame, trying not to waste spiritual power as much as possible. After practicing like this a few times, the speed has obviously increased a lot, and she has been able to perfectly control the direction of the spiritual power, and when she needs to break a silk thread, she can also urge the spiritual power to increase the temperature of the flame and cut the silk thread with fire. And since her spiritual power was almost not wasted, she had significantly fewer pranayamas.
"Let's go back, and then I'll send you to the Jade Spiritual Realm." Also four days later, Huiyuan weighed the weight of the silk grass and nodded.
"Why don't we get some more silk grass, didn't you say that there are others who also take it? Can you exchange a little more spirit stones? She wanted to get more spirit stones, remembering that although she was pregnant with Baoshan but still had to beg to live, she felt miserable, she used to sleep in the open air, and she didn't have the habit of using money, but when she got here, she knew that cultivation needs pills, weapons, and magic weapons, Huiyuan also said that a high-level monk is piled up with spirit stones, and then he realized the importance of spirit stones.
Huiyuan shook her head, denied her idea, and explained, "Since you were able to finish it ahead of schedule, I still have some skills to teach you in the end. ”
"What do you want to teach?" Jingli followed Huiyuan to a relatively empty grass, and she had no doubt that what Huiyuan was going to teach her must be something very important.
Huiyuan turned around, compared his fingers to himself, and said, "Attack me." ”
"This last item is to learn how to attack others?" Jingli blinked and couldn't help but smile.
Huiyuan nodded: "According to me, in order not to leave behind demons and cause and effect, Daoist cultivators will not kill people at will, but there are still many monks who have taken the wrong path, whether they are forced or active, it is necessary to fight with others." It is very difficult to cross these big hurdles of practicing qi and building the foundation and knotting the Dan, even if the great perfection of practicing qi meets the person in the early stage of foundation building, it is very weak, you are now in the middle stage of qi refining, if you encounter the foundation building period, you must immediately dodge, if it is really not good, use the bowl to hide temporarily, but in case you meet a patient person, you will not be able to hide in the bowl for a lifetime, and you will always come out. In the later stage of Qi training, try to dodge as much as possible, if you really can't do it, you need to challenge and escape, so it's necessary to learn some means to meet the enemy and save your life, come on. He stretched out his hand and invited Jingli to help.
Jingli didn't make a rash move immediately, but thought for a moment. What Buddha cultivation is best at is the art of defense, just like the treasures that are given to oneself by entering the void, Buddha cultivation generally does not rashly hurt people, and it is easy to cause murder, so a frontal attack must not work. Although her cultivation was lower than Huiyuan's, she could faintly feel that the gap between the two was not very huge, and it was speculated that he was probably equivalent to the level of the late stage of Qi training, that is, within the range of what he said could be challenged.
In terms of attack means, she has no offensive weapons, only spells can be used, and the most proficient spells she uses are ice and fire, ice can suspend action, and only fire can become the main means of attack. I also remembered the seeds in the ring, which may also play a small role. And because of the difference in cultivation, there is a gap in the storage of spiritual power, and there is no elixir, so it can't last a long time, and it needs to be finished as soon as possible.
After thinking about it, Jingli took the lead. She first used an ice sealing technique to directly target Huiyuan's feet, and at the same time, the whole person jumped out and approached him quickly, and the fireballs in her hands were thrown out one after another.
Huiyuan didn't dodge or dodge, with a wave of his wide sleeves, the first fireball that came in front of him immediately changed the direction of movement, flew towards his feet, and collided directly with the ice seal that Jingli used first, extinguished, and at the same time, the ice sealing technique also weakened its power, only freezing one of Huiyuan's trouser legs.
At this time, Jingli, who had rushed to Huiyuan, immediately saw this situation, and sighed regretfully, these two spells of mutual restraint cannot be used together in the future.
The fire spell has been used perfectly, and the fireballs are approaching Huiyuan one after another, and he uses his palm to push the fireball away and bounce back to Jingli, seeing Jingli approaching, he pushed a fireball to her abdomen with one palm, Jingli bent down slightly, jumped to the side, avoided the fireball, and maintained balance with one hand. At the same time, he grabbed a handful of stones from the ground with his palm, wrapped the stones with flames, and turned around and threw the burning stones towards Huiyuan. She held the ground with one hand, circling around Huiyuan, and with the other hand kept throwing the flaming stones at him.
The rain of stones was thin and dense, and Huiyuan concentrated on opening the stones to prevent them from hitting his body. The clothes on his body are defensive, and such a small fire is not afraid, but the power thrown by these stones is very large, and they are all wrapped in spiritual power, if they hit the body, they will still cause some damage, and if they hit the vital parts, there will be big problems.
As he focused on the stones, Jingli had approached him again. Jingli doesn't have a powerful offensive weapon, and although the spell is flexible, it is not powerful enough, and the only way to restrain him is to get close to the exposed parts of his face and neck.
Seeing that Huiyuan was concentrating on avoiding the stones, she didn't notice her approaching at all, she stared straight at Huiyuan's neck, leaned out with one hand, and was about to grab it, but suddenly her neck was cold, and she was stunned in place.
Huiyuan still faced forward and knocked the last bit of stone she threw away, but with the other hand held a sword around her neck, the body of the sword exuding a cold chill, showing that she was extraordinary.
"Remember, never just estimate your opponent's strength, there's a good chance he'll keep a trick you don't know." Huiyuan's cold voice reached his ears.
Jingli looked at the sword that was still on her neck and gritted her teeth. Every time Huiyuan taught her, she would feel her shallowness, and she also secretly hated her incompetence and lack of care. All the way from the earth-level realm, she has not experienced a real life-and-death battle, in the earth-level realm, she is a master, never afraid, in the spirit-level realm, since leaving Mount Meru, Huiyuan has followed her, avoiding some dangers along the way, so her sense of danger has become very low, and she is too inconsiderate.
"Thank you." Jingli put aside the sword on her neck, a little depressed, she has been hit repeatedly these days, although she is not afraid of the path of cultivating immortals, but after all, she is a little sad and self-blamed, and even feels that she has too many shortcomings, if she can't correct it, it will be a stumbling block on her way.
Huiyuan saw her depressed look, sighed, and said: "I can't blame you completely, you have always been alone since Daoist Xuyang left, and it is inevitable that you will be a little negligent about people and things, and I am also able to appreciate these things faster because of my master's guidance." Life in the spiritual realm is very different from what you are used to, and you should be more humble and thoughtful in order to better protect yourself. The path of cultivating immortals is originally very lonely, and no one will always be by your side, so you have to do it yourself. ”
Jingli nodded heavily.
Jingli looked at the figure in front of her with her back to her, and still expressed her gratitude: "Thank you for always taking care of me on behalf of Master." ”
Huiyuan glanced back at her lightly and replied, "It's not just because of Daoist Xuyang. ”
Suddenly, Jingli had a hint of banter, she caught up with Huiyuan's pace, and said, "What's the reason for that?" Is it because of me, but although Taoists can double cultivate, you monks can't marry wives. And, look at you, you have a face that is more tender than me, I can't bear to do it. As she spoke, she even stretched out her palm to try to touch Huiyuan's fair face.
Huiyuan suddenly stopped, knocked off her outstretched claws, looked at her angrily and said, "Marry a wife, hum, it's almost the same if you call me a father." Although he knew that Jingli didn't know what happened back then, Huiyuan was still inexplicably angry, but he couldn't forget the sadness and pain he had encountered back then.
Huiyuan and Xuyang are not friends, in fact, Fuzhi and Xuyang are friends, and Huiyuan is the person entrusted to Fuzhi by Xuyang, because Xuyang wants to take care of Jingli wholeheartedly, and he doesn't want to delay Huiyuan because of this. Speaking of this matter, Huiyuan is both nostalgic and atmospheric.
Huiyuan was still a thin little boy, because he was infected with an abscess, he was thrown in a mass grave to die, he happened to meet Xuyang who passed by here, Xuyang couldn't bear it, he rescued him, he was about to leave, but Huiyuan was a stubborn child, at that time he felt that the grace of dripping water should be reciprocated by the spring, so he followed Xuyang wholeheartedly, although Xuyang was very impatient at the beginning, but as the two gradually contacted, he gradually accepted the child, Huiyuan, who noticed the changes in Xuyang, was also very happy, because at that time he already knew that Xuyang was a very unusual person, maybe an immortal who had descended to the earth. However, just when he was happy, one day, Xuyang, who came back from a long trip, took back a baby girl and threw it to him. Since then he began a miserable life, the baby girl was born before the month, can only drink milk, he had to go to Xinlong Town to beg for help, and later the yellow landlord saw him pitiful, gave him a ewe. So milking goats all day long, changing diapers for baby girls, washing clothes, and mixing with the old mothers in Xinlong Town all the year round to learn the experience of raising children, when he brought the child to smile at him and start eating rice cereal to live, Fuzhi suddenly appeared. Then Xuyang told him with a serious face that he shouldn't delay him anymore, kicked him out of the gate, and became a monk from then on.
Although he thought that his heart had long been like water, but I don't know why Huiyuan, after talking about this matter, remembered that the little baby girl he took care of with a handful of and urine back then had grown to such a big age, and he didn't remember himself at all, he was still a little sad, and unconsciously, with a kind of loving eyes, he looked at Jingli again.
When he saw Huiyuan's loving eyes, Jingli suddenly felt a chill. Of course, she didn't remember what happened when she was a baby, and she thought that Xuyang brought her up, but it turned out that it wasn't. Thinking of Master's out-of-the-box character, it turned out that he had hired a free assistant, and he hadn't told her about it. No wonder she thought about the picture of the old face patiently taking care of a little baby, how to disobey it, and inserting a Huiyuan would be much more harmonious. It turned out that he had begun to accept Huiyuan's care so early, no wonder he knew her exact age, and he didn't see her many times, but his attitude towards her was inexplicable. Thinking of the scene where Huiyuan held a baby and seriously discussed the issue of parenting with a peasant woman, he remembered that the baby was himself...... A chill.
So Jingli, who was once again greatly stimulated, didn't know what to say, and unconsciously followed Huiyuan, who was also in a world of resentment, and returned to the city step by step.
