Chapter 16 Quenching
"In the middle of the day, at sunrise, the aura of heaven and earth is at its fullest. At this time, cultivation can often achieve twice the result with half the effort. Uncle Zhang instructed, "The only way to practice is to be diligent." Although the aura of the mortal world is thin, it is not conducive to cultivation. But this should not lead to the abandonment of practice. From tomorrow onwards, you, like me, will start at sunrise, meditate for an hour, and then travel. Every three nights, as I do today, I will preach to you for half an hour at a time. If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask me during this time. However, cultivation lies in enlightenment, so I will only answer you one question at a time. ”
"Yes." Mu Wan'er is now learning and using, and respectfully bowed.
The children can be taught. Zhang Yichen nodded with satisfaction: "Put away the clothes." Let's go. ”
"Yes. Disciple Xie Uncle gave teaching. Mu Wan'er made another salute. has no relatives and no reason, Uncle Zhang can mention her like this, which is her great blessing. She is grateful to Uncle Zhang from the bottom of her heart.
It's windy in the mountains. After one night's work, all the clothes laid on the big stones were blown dry. What frustrated Mu Wan'er was that all the good clothes had been washed. And it's still crumpled.
If you wear such clothes, you will be disgraced! However, the space could not be used, and she had no change of clothes after throwing away these "flower clothes".
I don't know how Uncle Zhang did it! After a day's journey, the wind blew in the mountains all night, and the Taoist robe on his body was still clean, and even the Taoist folds were wooden. Mu Wan'er glanced at Uncle Zhang quickly with the afterglow of her eyes.
Uncle Zhang had already gotten up, with his back to her, and stood quietly by the pond with his hands in his hands. Apparently waiting for her.
There is a sixth rule there, Mu Wan'er can only bite the bullet, quickly pick up all the clothes, learn from the previous Hong Niangzi, still wrapped it in the previous green silk cloth, tied it into a bag, and carried it diagonally behind her back.
She was walking over to say goodbye. Like yesterday, Uncle Zhang seemed to have eyes on his back, flicked the sleeves of his robe, and Shi Shiran left.
His stride and pace had quickened a little since last night.
Fortunately, after a full night's sleep and just swallowed Bigu Dan, Mu Wan'er is now refreshed and full of energy. Tightening the burden on her back, she quickly chased after it at a trot.
Then, she was pleasantly surprised to find that her physical fitness was obviously much better than yesterday - although Uncle Zhang's speed was significantly higher than last night, as long as she gritted her teeth and worked hard, she could catch up. However, after yesterday, she roughly figured out some of Uncle Zhang's temperament. For example, it may be that he has a cleanliness habit and does not like to have physical contact with people. Therefore, seeing that she was dirty, Uncle Zhang didn't let her get close at all - yesterday, when she tried to close the distance between the two, Uncle Zhang would speed up and pull the distance back about half a zhang away.
With yesterday's experience, Mu Wan'er obediently lagged behind half a foot behind.
It's still a little cold in the mountains and forests in the morning. Shaded by a dense canopy, the sun could not shine in, only a few spots of light could be cast through the cracks in the leaves.
Mu Wan'er trotted, and the chill on her body gradually faded. It was about a quarter of an hour before a fine layer of sweat appeared on her forehead.
She wiped her sweat and said secretly: In this case, it is still easy. Finally, don't rely on the elixir to hang it.
I don't have much elixir in my hand, so I just ate it, it's a pity. She wanted to save more for practice.
I didn't want to, about half an hour later, Uncle Zhang's figure flickered, and he suddenly floated a few feet away.
Seeing that, the sleeves of his robe fluttered, and he was about to disappear silently into the trees. Oh, my God! Mu Wan'er pressed down the screams that came to her mouth, and hurriedly pulled her legs to chase after her.
Fortunately, after Uncle Zhang "floated", the speed returned to the same as before.
Don't look at the distance of only a few feet, Mu Wan'er took a lot of effort to catch up.
Unknowingly, Uncle Zhang shouted "floating" again, and left her a few feet behind.
This...... Mu Wan'er opened her mouth, but she gritted her teeth and chased after her, but her heart was full of tears - Uncle Shi, can we have a good journey, don't you toss like this?
But Uncle Zhang was obviously "tossing" and was happy. From then on, as soon as she caught up, he immediately reopened the distance.
He tossed blindly like this, and Mu Wan'er couldn't do anything about him, so she could only keep up with her head - first of all, in the morning, Uncle Zhang said that the most important thing in the sect is to respect the superior and the inferior. He is an uncle, and he is respected, because she is a junior, and she can't mention any opinions, otherwise she will be called the following offense. The following crimes are the second major sins of the sect after the crime of betrayal; Secondly, her introductory test was to go to the sect with Uncle Zhang. And Uncle Zhang has already said that if she loses it, even if she fails the entrance test; Besides, in the wilderness, except for the two of them, there is even a figure in this area, and she doesn't dare not follow it.
It's just that in this way, she feels the same struggle as yesterday again.
After repeating this repeatedly, after several times, Mu Wan'er finally couldn't bear it anymore, so she had to take out the white jade bottle and swallow a pill of spiritual elixir.
At the end of the day, there were two less elixirs in the bottle. Uncle Zhang was more generous than Uncle Qingyu, and gave them a total of twenty spirit pills in this bottle, but he couldn't stand such consumption.
Mu Wan'er didn't mention how painful it was.
It was only in the middle of the moon that they stopped at a stream to rest.
Although she was no longer able to wash the marrow and cut the scriptures like yesterday afternoon, Mu Wan'er also almost became a mud monkey again. Hiding in the water and grass, she rubbed off the dirt on her body, saw the skin that seemed to have become more delicate, and finally realized Uncle Zhang's good intentions: Uncle Zhang did this to help her quench her body and expel the impurities in her body.
So, the dissatisfaction in her heart was gone, and in its place, she was full of gratitude.
At night, when she was cleaned up, she was tired like a dog, and she slept soundly with her eyes closed.
The next day, Mu Wan'er was woken up by Uncle Zhang "knocking" with a small pebble.
When I opened my eyes, a bright color just appeared on the horizon. The sun is rising! She hurriedly got up and ran to Uncle Zhang to salute: "Uncle Shi, morning." ”
Uncle Zhang was meditating, but he just closed his eyes and said "um".
Looks like I'm sleeping too hard...... Mu Wan'er scratched her head in embarrassment, ran to the back of Uncle Zhang, and chose a relatively flat small stone behind him, crossed her legs, and raised her five hearts upwards to sacrifice the qi induction technique.
The aura at sunrise is much denser. Mu Wan'er inhaled qi into her body five times in a row, and each time she absorbed more than ten spiritual energy points. Among them, there are mostly blue water aura and green wood aura, and there is no shortage of golden gold aura dots. These aura points of light also condensed into a small ball of light in front of her eyebrows every time, drilled into her eyebrows, and disappeared immediately.
When the sixth breath was inhaled, my head began to hurt slightly. Mu Wan'er had to give up. Unable to enter the space to recuperate, she could only breathe with her eyes closed, and secretly figured out in her heart: In other words, I am really a five-spirit root with all five elements. Spiritual roots, spiritual roots, as the name suggests, should grow about the same as tree roots. And only a quarter of my Golden Spirit Root remained, and it became thin and small, didn't the Qingyu Master Ancestor notice it?
An hour later, Zhang Yichen opened his eyes and beckoned, "Master Mu, come here." ”
Without the help of space, Mu Wan'er's divine consciousness had not fully recovered. Fortunately, my head didn't hurt anymore. Hearing the voice, she quickly got up, ran quickly in front of him, and after saluting, she asked respectfully, "Uncle Shi, the disciple is here." ”
Coming out of the Gaomen compound, the etiquette is not bad. Zhang Yichen glanced at her with satisfaction, his right hand was unfolded, and a three-legged double-eared bronze round tripod about the size of a bucket was conjured out of his hand: "You don't have a water bladder, it's very inconvenient." I'll lend you this medicine for the time being. You fill it with water and take it to the road to drink. ”
Mu Wan'er raised her head and stared at the thick copper tripod that was a few sizes thicker than her waist, and she was so shocked that she felt "Gordon" in her heart-Uncle Shi, Uncle Shi, early in the morning, what are you going to make trouble again? Are you sure that your little arm, like wood, won't be crushed by it!
Swallowing a mouthful of saliva vigorously, she made a fan with both hands: "Uncle Shi, the disciple is very good, and there is nothing inconvenient." "Uncle Shi, this guy is very thick, not two hundred catties, but one hundred and eighty. Is it my sister, a six-year-old girl, who can lift it?
"Noise! The elders give it, and they can't say goodbye. Don't take it yet! Uncle Zhang raised his eyebrows, and his slightly drooping eyes were full of banter, "Senior nephew, be careful, this is the treasure that your uncle used to refine the pill." If it is accidentally smashed, the nephew will have to pay a new one. ”
What kind of "elder" is this! Mu Wan'er couldn't cry or laugh, so she had to step forward to get the "baby": "Disciple, Uncle Xie for the reward." ”
Unexpectedly, she was able to lift it!
How can it be! Lifting Tongding to the stream, with her back to Zhang Yichen, she stretched out her hand in disbelief and tapped lightly.
The copper tripod hummed and made a heavy sound.
That's right, it's indeed cast in bronze, not adulterated. In her previous life, the old Confucian that Mu Sanye invited to her liked to collect bronzes, so she also opened her eyes and knew how to taste them.
Sure enough, monks and mortals are not the same. Mu Wan'er looked at a pair of white and tender little hands, and sighed in her heart: she was just a six-year-old doll in the congenital qi induction period, and her physical strength was far stronger than that of most adult mortal women.
Zhang Yichen observed secretly, not feeling funny, and said secretly: Little brat, do you still know how to identify magic weapons?
In fact, he had just deceived Mu Wan'er. What can be called a "treasure" must at least be a low-grade treasure. This tripod is the alchemy furnace he used when he had not yet built the foundation, and it is a high-grade magic weapon. I can't call it a "baby". I kept it in a storage bag and didn't find the right opportunity to sell it. The magic weapon is precious, of course it is impossible for him to refine the Dan furnace he is using now for Mu Wan'er.
As a result, Mu Wan'er's miserable body refining road was upgraded - with a pile of water on her head, on the rugged mountain road, she had to walk as fast as a fly!
Walked all the way, and the water was sprinkled all the way.
What made her depressed was that the water spilled out, pouring her like a chicken in soup, but there was not half a cent of water in the ding!
The world of cultivation really can't be reasoned with normal. Uncle Shi is a good means! This was the only explanation Mu Wan'er could think of.
The consumption of the elixir immediately turned upward.
If it weren't for the fact that a lot of impurities can be excreted from the body every day, and the small body like bean sprouts is getting stronger and stronger, and the strength of the whole body is growing up like the wind blowing, this day is simply impossible to live.
It's just that she's a girl, does she really want to practice hard meat? When Mu Wan'er thought that she was like a strong man, her body was full of bulb meat, she couldn't help but feel a chill on her back, and she shivered several times in succession - that picture was so beautiful that my sister couldn't bear to look at it directly.
In this way, three days passed, and it was time for Uncle Zhang to preach. This time, Uncle Zhang told her about another way of cultivating immortals, that is, the demon way, and demon cultivation.
With Song Niu's memory at the bottom, Mu Wan'er came to listen to his correct explanation again, and clearly realized that demon cultivation would definitely not be a good thing: first of all, good and evil are not mutually exclusive. Cultivators and demon cultivators follow two diametrically opposed paths. With this article alone, the two sides are destined to be natural opposites; Secondly, the demon cultivator is evil and cruel, and a rookie like her can only avoid it; Thirdly, once a cultivator does not keep his heart to the Dao, he will go mad and fall into demons, and if he does not do well, he will fall into the path of demons, become a demon cultivator, and become inhuman, not a ghost, and miserable.
Ah, I'm scared! Especially when she heard "no person, no ghost", Mu Wan'er's little face turned green when she heard it - sister, don't become ugly!
Finally, it was her turn to ask questions. She raised a pair of small arms in shock and asked, "Uncle Shi, the disciple raises the copper tripod every day to refine his body, will the flesh of the bullock grow on his arm and become miserable?" ”
If that's the case, in her heart, it's almost like falling into a demon.
Uncle Zhang's face darkened, raised his eyelids, and snorted coldly: "Ridiculous! Are you questioning Uncle Ben's alchemy technique? ”
"Disciple doesn't dare!" He snorted coldly, as if a big mountain was pressing on his head, where could Mu Wan'er hold it? With a clatter, her knees hit the ground, and she fell to the ground in embarrassment.
At this time, she finally experienced what it means to "cultivate to a higher level and crush people to death"!
Small punishment and big admonition.
Zhang Yichen gathered his coercion and replied lightly: "How can refining the body be so easy and easy?" This method is just to help you get fit. With a small body like you, even if you refine it like this for a lifetime, you won't be able to refine a few taels of bullock meat. But he was shocked in his heart, and secretly called "terrible": the little fart child is as stubborn as a cow, the clothes on his body are washed without seeing the background color, and the pestle is in front of Lao Tzu every day. made Lao Tzu really raise her as a brat. Well, forget it, let's just practice like this for now. From tomorrow onwards, it can't be any more difficult.
Thank God. Won't grow into a muscular woman. Mu Wan'er finally landed on her heart.
