Chapter 8, Second-Order Fire Reckless Beast
Xi Duoduo left the He family's mansion in a daze, but there was always a voice hovering in his ears, which was the words of Master Cheng Gong. Master Cheng Gong promised to alleviate the pain of the invasion of the Yin and Cold Qi by He Xiang, but it was only delayed for half a year, and if half a year passed, He Xiang would definitely be invaded by the Yin and Cold Qi and finally turned into an ice sculpture and died.
When Xi Duoduo returned to the broken temple, Qi Mingyue of Xinghua Restaurant was waiting for him, Mingyue saw that the little guy came back unrelentingly, and asked with concern: "Brother, what is wrong with you? Who bullied you? Tell your sister, sister will help you get angry." ”
Duoduo was speechless and sat listlessly on the bench. Mingyue asked again and again, Duoduo didn't want the other party to worry, so she told the truth about He Xiang being the body of the yin.
After listening to Duoduo's narration, Qi Mingyue didn't know how to comfort him. She was just a mortal, and it was the first time she had heard Duoduo say about the Yin Body, and she had no way to help the other party at this time.
Qi Mingyue left, leaving behind a bunch of food and supplements, but now Duoduo has no appetite at all. Just when Duoduo was in a trance, a voice sounded.
"Stinky boy, you know now that you can't do anything? I asked you to follow Xu Sanduo to study the Arhat Sutra well, but you didn't want to, if you succeed in learning, all your worries now are superfluous. The person who spoke was the old beggar Xiong Dacheng, and I saw him lying leisurely on the tiled house of the ruined temple gloating.
Duoduo saw the old beggar come back, and immediately cried loudly: "Grandpa, you can help me, as long as you help me catch the fire beast, I will agree to whatever you ask me to do in the future." ”
As he spoke, Duoduo suddenly knelt down for the old beggar, and tears fell to the ground involuntarily. This is the first time the little guy has begged someone, and he will not beg the old beggar even if he starves to death and is stubborn.
When the old beggar saw that the little one was so serious, his heart softened and jumped off the tiled house.
"Alright, alright! You're a man, crying and crying and weeping. But if you want me to help you, you must promise me one condition, but as you said before, as long as I help you catch a second-order fire beast, I will let you do whatever you want. ”
Seeing that Grandpa was willing to help, Duoduo was in a good mood, so he wiped away his tears and said, "Manly husband counts! ”
I saw the old beggar laughing and said proudly: "Okay! In this case, from now on, I will teach you the "Arhat Sutra", but the ugliness is said in the front, you are not allowed to be lazy, otherwise don't blame grandpa for not helping you. ”
Duoduo's heart tightened, and he suddenly felt that he had been fooled, but he didn't dare to regret what he just said, otherwise this weird grandfather would only watch his little daughter-in-law die if he didn't help.
Since he couldn't escape, Duoduo was curious: "Grandpa, you said that you taught me the Arhat Sutra in person, so don't you plan to catch the Thunder Beast in the future?" ”
The old beggar said helplessly: "You think I'm willing, the thunder beasts of Shenniu Mountain have been caught by me for five or six years, and now they are too scared by me to show up, it seems that they can only go again in a year." ”
After a pause, the old beggar continued: "From now on, you will study the Arhat Sutra with me immediately after eating. ”
Duoduo nodded, and then quickly filled his stomach.
The "Arhat Sutra" is divided into two parts, the upper part is the refining body, and the lower part is the main focus on the mind, but the lower part of the scriptures is not qualified to study, and only by entering the inner door of the beggar gang can you continue to study.
The refining part of the Arhat Sutra is divided into five stages, the first stage is to absorb qi into the body, the second stage is to wash the tendons and cut the marrow, the third stage is to open up the small Zhoutian, the fourth stage is to open up the big Zhoutian, and the fifth stage is to accept the qi and return to the yuan.
First of all, follow the beggar grandfather to practice absorbing qi into the body, this part is not difficult, the key is to calm the mind and calm the mind, only in this way can you sense the aura between heaven and earth.
"Close your eyes, inhale, exhale, inhale again, exhale again......" The old beggar guided Duoduo to breathe in air step by step, and after the gods above his head were completely quiet, he guided the aura between heaven and earth into the Baihui acupoint.
Time passed slowly, and when Duoduo opened his eyes, his whole person seemed to feel different, and he couldn't tell where it was different.
At this time, the sun was hanging high in the air, and the sun was shining directly on Duoduo, and Duoduo didn't feel a little hot in the outdoor high temperature of dozens of degrees. He turned around and saw that his grandfather was not beside him at this time, but sitting in the temple drinking wine and eating peanuts. There was still a person sitting next to the old beggar, and this person was Qi Mingyue.
Mingyue saw Duoduo open her eyes and looked over, stretched out her hand and signaled: "Brother, you have been practicing for a day, you are hungry, come and eat something to replenish your strength! From now on, you will follow Grandpa Xiong to practice hard, and I will take care of the food for your grandfather and grandson." But in return, if my sister is bullied by bad people in the future, you kid will have to support your sister. ”
Duoduo grinned, walked over, and said, "Sister, let go of a hundred hearts, no matter who bullies my sister in the future, Duoduo will never spare him!"
After saying that, Duoduo was about to reach out and grab the roast chicken leg on the plate, but the plate was taken away by Mingyue, Duoduo smiled, and went to wash his hands first, and Mingyue brought the roast chicken to the little guy after washing his hands.
Not to mention, the first weight of this "Arhat Sutra" really consumes physical energy, at this time, Duoduo is hungry and some hands and feet are weak, and after a gust of wind and clouds, Duoduo feels that his physical strength has returned to his body again.
Seeing that Duoduo was full of food and drink, Qi Mingyue left the broken temple with a smile, and then the grandfather and grandson continued to practice.
Time passed day after day, and three months passed in the blink of an eye, and at this time, Duoduo had successfully cultivated the second level of the "Arhat Sutra".
Compared with three months ago, Duoduo felt that the biggest change was that he didn't feel so hungry, as if where there was air, he could absorb the energy of heaven and earth to replenish his body's needs.
The old beggar counted the days and felt that there was not much time left, so he said to Duoduo: "Grandson, grandpa will hand over the remaining triple exercises to you, and then you will rely on your own perception and cultivation." I have to go to the Chiyan Desert for a few months, where can I find the second-order Fire Mandevil Beast, for your little daughter-in-law to be safe and sound, you have to practice well, if I come back, you can't get through Xiao Zhoutian, even if I get the Fire Mandevil Beast, I won't give it to you, you know?"
Duoduo didn't dare to disobey and pulled the other party's arm and said, "Grandpa, don't worry, when you come back, I will definitely practice the "Arhat Sutra" to the third level." ”
After the old beggar finished teaching Duoduo the last three times, he left for the Chiyan Desert overnight, and when he walked, he only brought a large bag of dry food and a pot of water, and his target for this trip was the second-order fire beast, and ordinary swords could not break through the leather armor defense of this beast at all.
On the central road to the Chiyan Desert, the old beggar hurried through the stars and the moon, and if he waited until the daytime, the desert heat was enough to scorch and dry his skin.
Of course, the night in the desert is not peaceful, the rustle is constantly undulating, and countless nocturnal creatures begin to move, from small sandworms and poisonous scorpions to large lions and tigers, no one knows where they are hiding, and can only listen to the sound to perceive their approximate location.
The old beggar was not afraid of ordinary beasts, but he had to deal with them carefully when he encountered the flaming red wolf and the fiery beast. Although the flame red wolves were first-order demonic beasts, they were three ordinary lions and they were no match for each other. What's even more dangerous is that the flame red wolf is a group of demonic beasts, and the old beggar is unwilling to provoke these fierce beasts unless he has to.
Two hours after entering the desert, the old beggar was unlucky enough to encounter the flaming red wolf. I saw three red wolves staring at him cautiously, which made the old beggar feel creepy, he didn't know if there were other red wolves nearby, if there were only three red wolves, he could still fight with his ability, if the number of red wolves reached more than ten, he still had to run away as soon as possible.
The old beggar pretended to be scared and ran back as he sensed his surroundings. The three red wolves followed the old beggar closely to prevent their prey from escaping. When the old beggar circled around and found that there were no other red wolves, he decided to take the risk.
He grabbed a handful of sand and threw it at a red wolf, who looked down on the old beggar and blinded his eyes with sand. At this moment, the old beggar suddenly killed the temporarily blind red wolf. I saw him clench his fists and stun the red wolf with a single blow, and the red wolf fell to the ground without a sound after being stunned.
Seeing this, the other two red wolves jointly surrounded and pounced on the old beggar, and the old beggar leaned back and fell down, and then shouted: "Kill the Ice Palm!"
I saw that the old beggar's hands suddenly shot out two pieces of cold ice, and the cold ice shot rapidly into the abdomen of the two red wolves. At this time, the two red wolves couldn't dodge, and the ice sank into their bodies. I saw the red wolf pass over the old beggar, and then his limbs convulsed and fell to the ground.
The old beggar killed the three flame red wolves, took out three first-order inner pills, and then quickly left.
Half an hour after the old beggar left, dozens of red wolves followed the scent of their companions. These red wolves are not in a hurry to seek revenge, in this desert where food is scarce, they first eat their dead companions, and then seek revenge.
Half an hour of hurrying, at this time the old beggar had already entered the territory of the fire beast, and when the red wolf came to find it, they had to turn around and leave angrily when they saw the enemy enter the territory of the fire beast.
You must know that all fierce beasts have their own territory, and the first-order Red Flame Flame Red Wolf is definitely not the opponent of the Fire Mandevil Beast, and their entry into the Fire Mang Beast's territory is tantamount to killing themselves.
After the old beggar entered the territory of the fire beast, he was safe for the time being.
The second-order Fire Mangs are a new species created by the mutation of the Sand Mang, and no one knows why they mutated, but the combat power of the Fire Mangs is thousands of times higher than that of the Sand Mangs, so many of the Sand Mangs inhabit the territory of the Fire Mangs. It seems that the Fire Mandevil is the royal family in the Sand Mang, and no one wants to risk their lives to catch the Sand Mang and offend the Fire Mang.
The common sand mangs are serpentine creatures with golden bodies and triangular heads that indicate that their teeth are sharp and poisonous. As for the mutated Fire Mang, it was ten times larger than Shamang, the thickness of a bucket, and its huge head could swallow an adult directly into its belly.
Because all of the Fire Mandevils are mutated from adult Sand Mangs, the Fire Mandaunts have no cubs, at least no one has ever seen them in their infancy.
They are easily recognizable upon sight of the Fire Mandevils, in addition to their large size and the fact that their bodies are in flames. They walk with their heads held high, making them intimidating.
The old beggar walked all night, when the sky began to lighten, and his stomach was a little hungry, so he took out a piece of dry food and put it in his mouth. After eating the dry food, it was already completely dawn. This is not the best time to find the Fire Mandevil, this beast does not like the night, they prefer the scorching sun. Before the sun rose and the desert had not yet warmed up, the old beggar decided to rest for a while.
By the time of the morning, the sun had shone on the desert like a great furnace, and the old beggar got up in the heat to look for the sand willow to hide from the scorching sun, and at the same time looked for the fire beast.
After a day had passed, the old beggar had found nothing, and the second-order fire beast seemed to have disappeared. Then the next day and the third day passed, and he still didn't have any clues.
At this time, in the government office of Qingniu Town, He Xiang's condition is getting more and more serious, and Master Cheng Gong's medicine can only relieve the pain of the little girl, but the symptoms are not cured, and the cold qi still continues to seep into the body from the bone marrow. The little girl had a headache and was tossing and turning on the bed and moaning quietly.
He Fangxin beside the bed looked at his little daughter like a knife, and at this time he wanted to die for his daughter. He Fang hated himself for being incompetent, and he hated that he was not born in a family of cultivators, and he also hated Xi Duoduo, a little rabbit cub, for stimulating He Xiang, so that his daughter could not be an ordinary mortal from now on.
Just when He Fang's heart ached, a subordinate came and said, "Master, Master Cheng Gong has arrived." ”
"Shunzi, please invite the master in!" He Fang hurriedly ordered.
The subordinates left, and Master Cheng Gong arrived. When he came to He Xiang's bedside, he saw that the little girl was already skinny at this time, and her face was gray, so he hurriedly took out a jade screen from his pocket, and then poured out a red pill and stuffed it into the other party's mouth.
"Little girl, swallow it, this pill is the last pill, if your little husband can't retrieve the Fire Mang's Inner Pill on time, you can go with peace of mind!" Master Cheng Gong shook his head helplessly.
He Xiang nodded weakly, and then swallowed the pill. As the pill descended, a warm current spread along the meridians, and then the cold qi in her body dissipated, and the pain disappeared.
