Chapter 3: The Tribulation

When I returned to the old blacksmith shop, and now the grocery store, it was already evening.

The wind howled, the yellow sand was all over the sky, Yang Yunqiu took off his cloak and shook it slightly, shook off the broken sand and gravel on the ground, closed the door of the store, closed the windows, lit the lights, and started the two large stoves in the house, he took a deep breath, opened the porcelain bottle and ate a meditation pill.

A large bucket of bath water has been prepared for a long time, it is not hot, but it is very cold, if it is an ordinary person, even if it is only touched slightly, I am afraid that it will freeze your fingers.

Yang Yunqiu changed into a loose linen robe and sat in, the cold water soaked his head, the whole person sank into the water, and his breathing naturally converted to internal breathing, the water was cold and biting, but his body was steaming unconsciously and his limbs were faintly red.

The cultivation methods of the monks are different, the great families, the gate sect has its own secret exercises, however, Yanguo encourages practice, and the ordinary guidance techniques are more widely spread, and ordinary people can easily obtain them as long as they go to the yamen to register after becoming monks.

When Yang Yunqiu was in the Wild Forest, what he learned was only the ordinary guidance technique that Fang Zhou handed down at will, this kind of guidance technique is peaceful and not easy to make mistakes, and the disadvantage is that the effect is slow.

Although I occasionally heard that there is a peerless genius who can go straight to the seventh grade within twenty years by practicing ordinary guidance techniques, but after all, this is only a minority, most of them have no background, and they can't worship the sect, and the monks who can't find a master are all cultivated to the second grade, and find a job to support their families, which has become the lowest cornerstone of the monks of the Great Yan Kingdom.

Yang Yunqiu's situation is different.

The doll knows a lot of advanced exercises, and in this shijie future, except for the secret traditions of some traditional families, all the advanced exercises can be read by anyone at will, and there are a lot of them in the central computer of that interstellar frontier base.

In the future, many monks like to calculate the most suitable exercises for themselves, these cheats or something, and when they practice to a certain extent, they can be used as a reference.

The doll suggested that Yang Yunqiu didn't need to deliberately practice too complicated cheats, and now the guidance technique is quite good.

What's more, even if it is just such an ordinary guidance method, after the calculation and optimization of the doll, it will be the most suitable for his needs, and the toxins accumulated in his body will not affect him more and more, and in just over two years, he has relied on squeezing out a little time to practice every day, and he can see that he has entered the third grade.

Fortunately, since entering the third grade, Yang Yunqiu also began to feel that it was difficult to walk and understood the difficulties of the monks.

There are five great calamities in cultivation, one of which is that the second grade enters the third grade, and before the third grade, there are still people in the world, and only when one enters the third grade can it be regarded as peeking into the path of cultivation.

Eighty percent of the second-rank monks are folded here.

The second great calamity is that the sixth grade enters the seventh grade, and the first grade enters the seventh grade, and only then can it be regarded as building the foundation and can be called cultivation.

Ninety percent of the six-rank monks have difficulty crossing this threshold.

The third catastrophe is the entry of the Nine Grades, and when you reach the Nine Grades, you can already get a preliminary glimpse of the Heavenly Dao.

The fourth tribulation is above the nine grades, and the test of the heart and demons before the achievement of the earth immortals.

Although the test of the heart demon is difficult, compared to the fifth tribulation, the 'ladder to heaven' that must be experienced before reaching immortality and long-term vision is pediatrics.

According to records, there are only more than ten monks who have reached the realm of immortality and long-term vision for thousands of years, and none of them have survived to this day.

He is very self-aware and never greedy.

Even if the doll knew that there were countless bait pills in later generations, except for those that did not require precious medicinal materials, which could be easily obtained in this era, and were useful to him, he would take them out and hand them over to others to help refine them, otherwise he would never take a second look, and pay more attention to the formation drawings and refining techniques, but also under the deterrence of the ark, he had to develop an interest.

Although there are thousands of ways to cultivate, and in the end they are all paths, but as a little monk who knows that his qualifications are not against the sky, he should still be single-minded.

Yang Yunqiu exhaled a breath of turbidity, his whole body gradually began to get hot, became red, was stirred by the cold water, the mist steamed, and pieces of black spots appeared on his body.

"Whew!"

Only then did the doll relax, and even the neck ring it was now holding was shaken.

Yang Yunqiu poked his head out, and the whole person collapsed on the edge of the barrel, closing his eyes to recuperate, sweat pooled on his forehead, trickling down, and clanging on the water.

After being paralyzed for a long time, when she heard movement outside, Yang Yunqiu reluctantly climbed out to wipe her body clean and change her clothes.

"I'm afraid that after you go straight to the seventh grade and build a foundation and shape your body, the toxins in your body can be completely discharged, and before that, you should exercise your mental strength."

The doll's voice was very relaxed, as if she didn't take Yang Yunqiu's physical problems to heart at all, "When we have the opportunity, let's go back to the wild forest and get the base, which will be of great benefit to you and me, and, Ah Qiu, you hurry up and integrate me into your soul, so that I can protect you inch by inch." ”

Yang Yunqiu ignored it, changed his clothes, poured the sewage from the porcelain basin into the magic circle, and watched it disappear before moving his stiff hands and feet to open the door of the gatehouse.

As soon as the door opened, he saw his mother Zhou Lanzhi cooking in the kitchen, and he couldn't help but pause.

Zhou Lanzhi is not very old, only thirty-six years old, in a country like Yanguo, where the average life expectancy has reached one hundred and fifty years old, it can be regarded as in its prime, but after years of suffering, it has been dyed tired on her beautiful face, and between the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, there are thin lines, but she is still demure and graceful, standing with a woman of about the same age who lives here, at a glance, she looks like a chicken.

"Xiaoqiu?" Zhou Lanzhi saw her son, her eyebrows stretched, "Come and eat." ”

It's just a very ordinary dough cake and Changsu Town's specialty roast pork, Yang Yunqiu snorted and swallowed the three major dough cakes in one go, eating sweat all over, and Zhou Lanzhi smiled.

Even if Yang Yunqiu is not hungry, he is still willing to coax his mother to laugh, he is an orphan in the 21st century, although he has his grandmother to take care of him, but he still inevitably has a longing for his parents, coming to this shijie, with his mother and sister, he can be regarded as getting his wish.

"Ah Yan is still sleeping?" Helping his mother wash all the dishes and chopsticks, and putting the leftovers in the pot on the stove to heat, Yang Yunqiu asked with a smile.

Zhou Lanzhi's eyebrows and eyes also softened a lot: "Let her sleep, she is still young, and it is normal to snooze." ”

The mother and son sat down around the stove, the fire burned vigorously, blocking the cold air from the kitchen, although there are several pieces of energy storage spars at home, but Zhou Lanzhi can save money, the stove can burn firewood, there is really no need to waste, Yang Yunqiu is always very obedient in this kind of trivial matter.

The firelight reflected the faces of the mother and son red, Zhou Lanzhi deftly sewed the leather neck cover with both hands, and Yang Yunqiu closed his eyes, recalling the structure of several formation diagrams in his mind.

The doll immediately showed a formation map in front of Yang Yunqiu's eyes.

The array is different from the array diagram commonly used now, there is no colorful color, it is a silver line, the light is flickering, sometimes and now, and it is not like the current array diagram with simple rules, it is very complex, and there are many structures that make people scratch their heads.

The grade of this array is about two grades, and the utility is not large, just a very ordinary gathering array, but the energy gathered can be selected and purified, generally only the array above six grades can have such an ability, but the metal carrier used to depict the array requires special, and several of this shijie are very rare and expensive.

I don't know if the next time I return to Earth, I will be able to find a cheap alloy formula.

The monks of Yanguo almost only use natural materials, but Yang Yunqiu's shijie is an alloy material.

The doll obviously thought the same: "In a few days, it will be the full moon day, this time I must go with Ah Qiu." As soon as I thought of the stories Yang Yunqiu told, it was very excited.
