Chapter 12 Cutting the Scriptures and Washing the Marrow
Chen An pushed open the door, but what he saw in front of him was not the room layout of tables, chairs, and beds, but a black swirling thick fog, which blocked the door, and Chen An couldn't see the things in the room at all.
"Come in. The sound of bloom came from behind the dense fog, Chen An heard the sound of bloom coming from inside, so he no longer hesitated, he stepped forward to test the dense fog with his hand, and the palm of his hand easily penetrated the dense fog, and then withdrew his hand, and found that there was nothing unusual, so he walked towards the dense fog.
Chen An originally thought that the dense fog was a magical power laid by the bloom to avoid being disturbed by outsiders, but after passing through the dense fog, the inside was not the appearance of the room, but a stone platform dozens of meters wide, and there was a stone statue several zhang high in the center of the stone platform, carved with a three-headed and six-armed demon god, the left face of the demon god was hideous and evil, the right face was compassionate and sacred, and the face in the middle was handsome and demonic, and it was the appearance of a bloom. Each of the six demon gods held a thing in his hand, one of them held a bottle, the mouth of the bottle was slanted downward, and liquid flowed out of the mouth of the bottle, flowing into the pool under the stone statue, and Ju was standing in front of the pool with his hands in his hands.
"Come here. Bloom said to Chen An, "Mm-hmm" Chen An nodded hurriedly and trotted forward.
It wasn't until he got closer that Chen An discovered that the liquid in the pool was colorless and transparent. The clear bottom of the pool was carved with various intricate patterns, and the liquid was about to fill the pool, about five feet deep.
"Take off all your clothes and go out into the pool. He turned his head to look at Chen An and motioned for Chen An to go down. "Huh? Why?" Although Chen An is very thick-skinned, Chen An feels a little unacceptable when he wants to strip naked in front of a man.
"This is the spiritual fluid of this religion, and soaking in it can make you reborn, and it is also the first step to becoming a supernatural person. Fei patiently explained, "Then can I keep a pair of pants?" Chen An wanted to stick to the final bottom line.
"No, you hurry up for me. Hua stared at Chen An, and his eyes gradually became terrifying. "Oh, okay then. Chen An had no choice but to reach out and take off his pants, he just bent down and turned his head to look at him. She glanced at Chen An, and turned her back to Chen An with an expressionless face.
Chen An took off his pants and drilled into the pool with a "plop". "Hiss~ It's so cold, it's cold. Chen An half-squatted at the bottom of the pool, blocking the important parts.
"Cold?" Fei Wenyan turned his head and looked at the pool with a frown, "You said that the divine liquid in this pool is cold. ”
"yes, cold. Chen An replied silently as he moved to the corner. She put her fingers into the pool, her face stiffening slightly. Chen An saw this appearance, and said in his heart: "Did he put it wrong and put ordinary water on me." ”
At this time, he had recovered his expression, and he pressed a raised stone block on the wall of the pool, and suddenly several stones in the center of the bottom of the pool moved downward, and a small hole appeared, and the water in the pool flowed into the hole with a clatter. After a while, the water in the pool flowed to the bottom, and only Chen An in the corner of the pool was left on tiptoe, squatting on the bottom of the pool with his legs closed and shivering.
She made another spell on the idol, and the hand holding the bottle on the idol turned in a different direction and gurgled down with liquid. During the whole process, Huan kept looking at the idol with his hands behind his back, while Chen An squatted silently on the bottom of the pool, but roared in his heart: "You really put me wrong!"
"Hey, it's hot. "The liquid in the bottle is as colorless and transparent as before. The difference is that this time the liquid has a kind of warmth. When the liquid in the bottle gradually filled the pool, he made a decision on the idol, and the liquid in the bottle no longer flowed out, and Chen An gradually developed an itch and pain from the warm and comfortable at the beginning. "It's itchy, ah... It hurts," Chen An was about to scratch the itchy skin on his body. A cold cry came: "Don't move!"
Seeing that Chen An was going to scratch the skin, he stopped it loudly, and said: "Bear it, whether it's pain or itching, don't care, you bear it for me, otherwise you will give up all your efforts." Hearing this, Chen An gritted his teeth and nodded. Endure in silence. Seeing Chen An's condition, he also turned around and found a place to start meditating with his eyes closed.
Over time, the itching sensation on the skin gradually shifts to the bones, and the clear liquid in the pool begins to become cloudy. Chen An couldn't hold on, didn't care to hide his body, and rolled in the pool, accompanied by a suppressed low roar.
After a long time, the pool returned to calm, and the liquid was only about two feet deep, but it became dirty, and Chen An lay softly in the corner, revealing the whole person in front of the rest of his life. Although his face was pale, his body was stronger than before, and his stature seemed to be a little taller.
He opened his eyes and got up to look at Chen An, who was already covered with dirt at this time, and could only see a figure lying in the corner. Frowning, he activated the mechanism in the wall of the pool to drain the dirt out of the pool, and cast another spell to clean Chen An. Chen An lay on his back at the bottom of the pool, and after a while, he finally regained some strength.
He stuck his head out of the pool to watch, and found that he was meditating with his eyes closed by the thick fog, so he quickly climbed out, quickly picked up the clothes, and then turned back into the pool to put the clothes on, but the clothes that were originally close to the body were slightly smaller at this time.
Chen An looked at himself, was excited, and thought: "The benefits of this cutting tendons and marrow are really great, and I will have to come a few more times if I have the opportunity in the future, but I have to go to Xie Fei's predecessors first." Only then did he climb out and bow down: "Thank you seniors for cutting the muscles and washing the marrow for me, and the grace of reconstruction, Chen An is unforgettable." ”
He opened his eyes, looked at Chen An, showed a smile on his face, and said, "Although your master has not accepted you as an apprentice for the time being, your master has asked me to cut your muscles and wash the marrow for you, and if you call me uncle, I can also afford it." Chen An hurriedly said, "Uncle Xie is very gracious." Fei nodded, then stood up and said to Chen An: "Let's go, under this prohibition, my Demon God space can't last long." After speaking, he turned around and walked towards the dense fog, and Chen An hurriedly followed.
When Chen An walked out, he wiped the thick fog with his right hand, and the fog instantly entered the sleeve of the bloom, and the thick fog dissipated, revealing the hidden room layout. Chen An looked at Bloom's face and felt very kind.
At this time, Fei also walked towards Chen An, and Chen An immediately showed a smile on his face, and was about to shout "Uncle Shi" respectfully.
She walked straight into the room, and then there was a "squeak" and "bang" sound, and the door closed.
Chen An's smile froze on his face, and after a moment, he rubbed his face, turned around and walked to the left.
After closing the door in the room, his face instantly turned pale, he took out a jade bottle from his arms, took the pill in the jade bottle, and then cast an enchantment, and began to meditate on the bed to breathe. A phantom of the head of a demon god with two horns condensed from behind, but the phantom was not solid. Obviously, opening the space this time to wash the marrow of Chen An's tendons is also a big drain on the bloom.
"Wow, cousin, is that you, you're taller and better-looking. Wang Yanxi's face was full of surprise after seeing Chen An, and then he walked up to Chen An and compared his size, Wang Yanxi, who was originally at Chen An's nose, can only go to Chen An's chin now.
"Pinch your face. Wang Yanxi stood on tiptoe and pinched her face, Chen An looked at her helplessly, and then patted the restless little hand on her face with her hand, "Don't make trouble."
"Hehe" Wang Yanxi dodged with a smile, and then happily walked to Yan Shen, who was still sitting calmly on the chair drinking tea, and said, "Senior sister, what kind of realm is my cousin now?" ”
"Chen An, come over and let me have a look", Yan Shen put down the teacup and beckoned Chen An to step forward, Chen An hurriedly walked to Yan Shen. Yan Shen stood up and pointed at Chen An's eyebrows. After a while, he retracted it and said to Wang Yanxi: "I haven't formed a sea of consciousness yet, and my current physical strength can only be regarded as a top martial artist among mortals. ”
Chen An was ecstatic when he heard this, he originally expected that this time would be of great benefit to him, but he didn't expect to reach such a level, as for the knowledge of the sea that Yan Shen said in the first half of the sentence, Chen An had completely forgotten it. Yan Shen saw Chen An's rather complacent appearance, and sighed, "Shame, not even your cousin." ”
Chen An saw Yan Shen's appearance of rotten wood that could not be carved and looked at him, he couldn't help but put away his complacent appearance, and stepped forward to bow to Yan Shen: "Thank you, Master, for asking Uncle Shi to cut my muscles and wash the marrow." Yan Shen waved his hand and said: "After all, I haven't officially accepted you as an apprentice, I don't love you so much, this time I asked your second uncle to cut your muscles and wash the marrow, I want you to be promoted to the realm of rebirth as soon as possible, and improve the probability of success in that incident in the near future." Speaking of this, Yan Shen said angrily: "But I didn't expect you to be so useless, you didn't break through to the rebirth mirror at once, your cousin is better than you." ”
Chen An's original great joy brought by cutting the muscles and washing the marrow was instantly knocked to the bottom by Yan Shen's words. Honestly: "When the disciple goes back, he must practice diligently, strive to break through to the rebirth mirror as soon as possible, and live up to the master's hard work." ”
Seeing Chen An's sincere attitude, Yan Shen nodded and said a few words of encouragement, and Chen An nodded yes.
Then Chen An suddenly remembered something, turned his head to Wang Yanxi and said in surprise: "Yan Xi, are you out of the realm of rebirth after cutting your muscles and washing the marrow?" Wang Yanxi nodded proudly, with the words "Praise me" written all over his face. Chen An was happy for Wang Yanxi in his heart, but also hid a trace of frustration, and then remembered that Wang Yanxi was stronger than him at the beginning of his martial arts practice, and then surpassed Wang Yanxi with his own efforts, so he regrouped and raised his fighting spirit.
In fact, Chen An's qualifications are already excellent, and the realm after cutting the muscles and washing the marrow is only one line away from the realm of rebirth, and it is only one enlightenment away. Yan Shen was also more satisfied with Chen An in his heart, but Wang Yanxi's qualifications were too demonic, and Chen An seemed mediocre in comparison.
"Yan Xi, then after you reach the rebirth realm, what is the difference between you and before. Chen An asked Wang Yanxi.
"Yes, for example, I am now in good spirits every day, and I can read things farther, and I used to feel dizzy when I read a book, but I now remember it after reading it once. Also, don't you think I'm prettier than I used to be? Wang Yanxi spun around in place and winked at Chen An.
"Yes, yes, we are indeed more beautiful than before. Chen An said perfunctorily. "Hmph, you didn't even look at me. Wang Yanxi looked at Chen An, who was looking at him with his eyes but was obviously thinking about other things, and said dissatisfiedly. Chen An was speechless, so he had to laugh twice and hurriedly coaxed.
"Yan Xi, your temperament is completely different from before, I looked at you just now, and I thought it was a fairy in the sky who went down to earth. ”
"Well, there's more."
"Yan Xi, you have a master's demeanor when you raise your hand and every shot now, you know Liu Shan of the Great Wind Dart Bureau, that is a famous master in our city, I think he can't pass a round in your hands. ”
"Yan Xi ,..."
Wang Yanxi was praised by Chen An, looked at Chen An who was about to say more, and hurriedly stopped: "Okay, okay, don't say it, I don't know who I am anymore." Chen An smiled silently, his eyes were full of expectation, and he kept staring at Wang Yanxi.
Wang Yanxi couldn't stand Chen An's eyes, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, you know what you want to do, I also learned some spells, show you." ”
"Uh-huh, please show me one or two. Chen An said busily. Yan Shen on the side felt embarrassed when he saw Chen An's flattering appearance, and the idea of cleaning up the portal came to his heart.
An inch of flame rose from Wang Yanxi's palm, the flame was black, Chen An wanted to poke his finger at the flame, but he couldn't feel a trace of temperature when he approached the flame.
"Don't touch it!" Wang Yanxi hurriedly stopped Chen An from poking the flame with his finger, "This is a tarsal fire, my master, no, my senior brother said that this kind of fire cannot be doused with water, once it is stained, it will only be extinguished if it is completely burned." It's scary. ”
Chen An was scared for a while when he heard this, but seeing that the flame was not big, he smiled and said: "This little flame doesn't look big, is the lethality so amazing." ”
"My senior brother said that there is a ban in Ping'an City, although all supernatural powers cannot be banned, but for the supernatural powers with lethal power, the suppression is very great. If it weren't forbidden, the flames would be much larger than they are now. Wang Yanxi shook his head and said.
When Chen An heard this, he wanted to get closer and watch, but at this time, a strange fluctuation came, and the flames suddenly expanded several times.
Yan Shen, who was sitting on the chair, immediately stood up and exclaimed, "The ban has been broken!"
