The Story of the Fourth World (43)

Since that day, Su Suhang found that the land where the jade fell into the sky could be planted with herbs, so he was concerned about finding medicine, but soon Su Suhang was embarrassed to find that although he had read a lot of books, he had few medical skills, and the herbs he barely knew were only those that were widely circulated in the rivers and lakes: ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum, He Shou Wu...

But these herbs are all cherished varieties, and where can they be encountered casually in Suzhou, Suzhou and Hangzhou.

After two more days in the mountains, every day Su Suhang would let Xiaoqing protect him, and then enter the jade pendant space to check the situation of the broken beard ginseng before.

After two days of observation, this ginseng has grown a little bit, could it be said that this treasure is really a magic weapon of the fairy family, how can ginseng grow so fast normally, Su Suhang couldn't help but think.

"Huh? Why is this bag different from before? At this time, Su Suhang found that the cloth bag he had put in the space before seemed to be different from before, but the appearance had not changed, which made him a little puzzled.

Out of the space, followed Xiaoqing to a small stream on foot, these days have been busy fleeing, reflecting the stream, Su Suhang found that he was already unkempt, holding some stream water in both hands, washing his face, recalling the previous life of worry-free food and clothing, and his heart was sad.

"I can't go back!"

At noon, the fog in the mountains dissipated a little, and Su Suhang identified the next direction and continued to move forward. In the past few days, I have only eaten a few wild fruits, because there is no way to make a fire, so even if Xiaoqing can hunt some small animals, Su Suhang cannot eat them, although his body has been strengthened by white spirit fruits before, but he is already weak and weak.

"Am I going to starve to death in this mountain before I have revenge, no, absolutely not." Su Suhang remembered that he had also eaten raw meat in Xiaoqing Cave before, so what was he afraid of, as long as he didn't die, he thought he could eat anything.

Please Xiaoqing help him catch a fish, and tell him not to use poison, even the bear can't bear Xiaoqing's venom, I'm afraid that my little body will die on the spot!

After Xiaoqing went out, he remembered that he seemed to feel that the cloth bag of the ghost child was a little different in the space today, so he decided to take it out and study what the situation was.

After taking out the cloth bag, turning over and over, it seems that there are indeed some changes, before Su Suhang tried to open the cloth bag, no matter what, he couldn't open this small bag, when Su Suhang tore hard, there will be a faint light flash on the cloth bag, but today there seems to be no light, it looks like a normal cloth bag, light and fluttering, not like it is loaded with things.

Su Suhang had a whim, put the cloth bag on his head, and in a trance, Su Suhang found that he seemed to be able to see the inside of the cloth bag.

I didn't expect this cloth bag to seem small but there is a lot of good things inside, and the jade pendant space is different, this cloth bag can see that it is about a space about one zhang in length, width and height, but I can't seem to get in, there are a few books inside, six medicine bottles, some colorful small stones like jade, some incomprehensible rune paper and three jade plates, two red and one blue jade cards, there is nothing carved on it, I don't know what it is used for.

Could this be the bag of the Spectreist?

Su Suhang thought of a book he had read about immortals and monsters, and the immortals described in the book could disappear with a wave of their hands, and they never carried their bags when they traveled, and they could have whatever they wanted with a wave of their hands.

As soon as his heart moved, a few stones came out of the cloth bag, it seems that the use of this is very simple, as long as he sticks it on the door of his head and thinks about taking out something, he can take out the thing, Su Suhang silently said "receive" in his heart, "Collect," The stone in his hand immediately returned to the cloth bag space.

"I see, I'm afraid the contents of this bag are the things of the Netherworld, is the book in it a spell to become an immortal?" Su Suhang muttered in his mouth, and his hand did not stop, and he took out the five books in the cloth bag.

Seeing the words on it, Su Suhang breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, the words of the immortals have not changed, and they are the same as what they have learned, otherwise if they can't understand the words of the immortals, wouldn't they be empty and unable to get started.

After looking at the covers of these five books, they are "Qingyun Practicing Qi Decision", "Elixir Record", "Secret Technique of Snatching She", "Five Elements Spell", "Strengthening the Body", it seems that this is the cultivation method of the immortals, but I don't know if I can succeed in cultivation.

At this time, Xiaoqing came back with a big fish wrapped around his tail, dragging and crawling to Su Suhang's side. It seems that the fish is much bigger than Xiaoqing, but it is easily dragged by Xiaoqing, and it seems that Xiaoqing's small body is not comparable to ordinary snakes.

"Coo-goo" stomach reminds me that I haven't eaten normally for a long time. Thinking of this, Su Suhang touched his stomach, and he had to hold on for a while.

I have made up my mind to live well, practice the way of immortals, and avenge my parents after becoming immortals, I can't starve to death on the way, but Su Suhang can't make a fire by himself, he can only eat raw.

The fish seemed to have fainted, and Su Suhang broke a dry branch from the ground and disemboweled the fish with the sharp end. Picked out the internal organs, rinsed it in the stream again, endured the fishy smell and the nausea in his heart, took a bite, it was not delicious, Su Suhang was against the disgusting sour water, so as to swallow it quickly, and he was not willing to let the raw fish meat stay in his mouth for a moment, fortunately, this fish did not know what kind of species, and there were very few fish bones, otherwise he would suffer even more.

In the end, he still didn't finish eating, and the remaining Xiaoqing after Su Suhang ate half of it was solved.

After solving the stomach problem, Su Suhang couldn't wait to rinse his hands, took out the five books separately, and prepared to carefully read how to practice this immortal method.

According to the title of the book, Su Suhang first put "Qingyun Qi Practice", opened it and saw that this is the method of cultivation, the first page clarified that at this time, the practice of Qi can be practiced to the twelfth layer of Qi training, the spiritual power cultivated is peaceful, there is no attribute, you can easily transfer to other exercises, it will not cause conflicts, the shortcomings are also obvious, nothing is outstanding, and the cultivation progress is also very ordinary.

Su Suhang thought about it, how can the Netherworld not be considered a Zhongzheng peace, at first glance, he is a demon, and it is not this method that should be practiced.

Hurriedly looked through the other four books, and the results did not have the legendary demon exercises, except for the first time I read "Qingyun Practicing Qi Decision", the other four books are not cultivation exercises, "Elixir Record" is a medicinal herb book, illustrated and illustrated, recording some medicinal materials, not only the efficacy and growth characteristics of the medicinal materials, but also the appearance of the medicinal materials is vividly painted on the book.

This book is undoubtedly the most helpful to Su Suhang in addition to the cultivation exercises, it just so happens that Su Suhang does not know herbal medicine, with this book, you can pick some herbs on the way to plant them in the jade pendant, whether it is in exchange for money or for your own cultivation is very convenient!

Su Suhang hurriedly opened the book "Five Elements Spells", hoping to learn fairy spells, but this book disappointed Su Suhang, although the title of the book is "Five Elements Spells", but it is actually a mutilated book, which only records a few spells, read carefully, there are only a few low-level spells, two fire spells of the fire line, fireball technique, a water arrow technique of the water line, a wood vine technique, wood armor technique, gold line and earth line spell There is no one, but there is a non-five elements spell light body technique, It seems to be a similar light spell.

Although there are fewer spells, Su Suhang doesn't care, he can't practice spells now, and the book says that he has to practice at least one level of qi to learn the simplest flame technique.

As for "Strengthening the Body", Su Suhang was a little puzzled, how could this exercise not look like an immortal spell, but like a martial arts he had seen, would an immortal still need to practice martial arts? Su Suhang couldn't help but be a little puzzled, but after a closer look, he found that the only thing that this exercise can be matched with the cultivation of immortals is probably the same as the cultivation of "Qingyun Qi Training", which requires aura.

Su Suhang first put aside the "Strengthening the Body" and picked up the "Secret Art of Seizing the Body", and after a closer look, this book actually recorded such an evil art of taking away the bodies of others, some immortal cultivators have poor qualifications and cannot go further, or after being seriously injured, in order to be able to survive their lives and continue the immortal path, they will use this method to take away others, and after devouring the souls of others, they will occupy the bodies of others, in order to take away.

Seeing this, Su Suhang was terrified, if it weren't for the jade pendant space and the spiritual fruit that Xiaoqing fed him, he was afraid that he would be taken away by this ghostly son, and his soul would be wiped out.

However, in the title page of this "Secret Art of Seizure", it is recorded that there are three iron rules in the world of cultivating immortals regarding seizure: First, immortal cultivators are not allowed to snatch mortals, otherwise the body of the mortal who is taken away will collapse on its own if it can't bear the act of snatching away.

Second, as long as the person with high mana can snatch the mana low, it is possible to succeed and will not suffer from the opponent's backlash, and the larger the mana gap, the safer it is, and the higher the chance of success.

Third, in the life of an immortal cultivator, he can only take away once, and the Yuan Shen cannot experience a second retribution.

These three iron rules should be the heavens' restrictions on this kind of anti-heavenly behavior.

Su Suhang thought to himself again, no, he was just a mortal, how could he survive after being taken away, isn't this a violation of the first iron rule?

After thinking about it, I am afraid that I can save my life because I ate the white spirit fruit, and this ghost son is tempted to prepare for the seizure of this spirit fruit tree, and I am afraid that it is also the idea of eating the spirit fruit after the seizure to ensure that the mortal body will not collapse.

Fortunately, with the help of the spirit fruit and the jade pendant, he was able to survive and come into contact with the world of cultivating immortals.

Now that he has not practiced qi, whether it is spells or physical strengthening, he can't practice, so he put the other four books into the storage bag, leaving "Qingyun Practicing Qi" to take advantage of the light of the day to read and write down as soon as possible, so as to practice, after all, his own house is in the mountains, and at night he can't see things in the dark like Xiaoqing.

It wasn't until the night that Su Suhang barely memorized the whole book, after all, he didn't know much about some of the meridians and dantians involved in it, but fortunately, there were pictures in the book, and he memorized them by rote and reluctantly memorized them.

At night, after eating half a raw fish again, Su Suhang and Xiaoqing lived in a cave, the cave was very empty, there were no wild beasts, Su Suhang spread some wide leaves on the ground, and sat on the ground. Tell Xiaoqing to protect the Dharma and start trying his first qi practice.

According to the description in the exercises, it is necessary to sense the aura of heaven and earth, incorporate it into the body, and do a weekly circulation in the meridians in the body, and finally enter the dantian, until the dantian has gone through many cycles, and retains a wisp of spiritual power belonging to oneself before it can be regarded as entering the first level of qi training.

There are a total of 12 layers in the Qi training period, and after the 12 layers, after polishing, the spiritual power is full and pure, and the Qi training is complete, and you can prepare to build the foundation, and the foundation building period is divided into three layers instead of 12 layers, which are the three stages of junior high school and high school. The subsequent realm of this exercise only mentions the Jindan period and is not recorded, which is not something that Su Suhang should consider now.

Now the first thing is to be able to perceive the aura between heaven and earth.

Su Suhang sat cross-legged, closing his eyes and concentrating, but there were always some distracting thoughts in his heart, which made him unable to completely calm down. After a long time, although Su Suhang's eyes were closed, he could feel that there were some small points of light around him, and these points of light were constantly moving. It is difficult to incorporate it into the body.

After many attempts, a grain of light was finally incorporated into the body, and before he could run Zhou Tian in the meridians, Su Suhang was overjoyed in his heart, and his mood fluctuations caused the light spots to disperse again, Su Suhang opened his eyes and said secretly, he really still has the qualification to cultivate immortals, because "Qingyun Practicing Qi Determination" says that cultivating immortals can only be cultivated by qualified people, and only those who have spiritual roots can sense the aura of heaven and earth, and those who do not have spiritual roots can sense the aura between heaven and earth when they practice to death.

When he came back to his senses, he found that the sky was already cloudy and bright, and he felt that he had only practiced for a short time, and the night had passed, Su Suhang thought that since he already had the method of cultivating immortals, this Danxia Mountain Range was extremely steep, so it was better to cultivate for a period of time by himself, and then set off on the road to pursue the immortal path after being able to protect himself.

After three days of hard work, Su Suhang was finally able to skillfully inhale the spiritual energy in the air into his body, and make it slowly circulate in the meridians.

When the first time the qi was drawn into the body for circulation, the meridians where the aura passed were all torn and painful, and the ground where Su Suhang was sitting was soaked with sweat after the end.

Fortunately, the pain was alleviated for the second time, and the meridians were gradually broadened with the circulation of the aura, and the aura that could be contained was also increasing.

Finally, half a month later, after continuous tempering, the spiritual power produced a wisp of cool air in the dantian of Suzhou, Suzhou and Hangzhou.

When practicing Qi into the body again, Su Suhang found through internal vision that this time this wisp of energy would be circulated with the aura of heaven and earth that was inhaled into the body, and the aura of heaven and earth would be continuously integrated into itself in the continuous cycle.

At this time, Su Suhang was sure that he should have entered the first layer of qi training, which made Su Suhang very happy, he could learn spells on the first level of qi training, although with his current spiritual power, it is estimated that he can only put a fire technique, but this also makes him excited, with fire, there is no need to eat raw fish.

Perhaps because of his obsession with cooked food, Su Suhang hurriedly turned out the "Five Elements Spell" and confessed to studying the fire technique, which is the lowest level of the fire technique, basically has no attack power, and can only light a small flame, so there is not much need for aura, it is one of the few spells that can be learned on the first layer of Qi training, and according to the above introduction, after learning the flame technique, it is of great help to learn the fireball technique, so Su Suhang decided to learn the flame technique as soon as possible, and contact other spells.

Although the book says that the flame technique is the lowest level of spells, it still took Su Suhang two days to get started, in these two days, Su Suhang contacted the spell during the day, meditated and practiced at night to consolidate his cultivation, and saw the small flame burning on his fingers, although he was weak and couldn't help the wind, but this was his own cultivation, and it also proved that Su Suhang had transcended mortals and stepped into the world of cultivating immortals with one foot.

That night, Xiaoqing went to catch fish in the stream, and Su Suhang picked up some dry dead branches in Shulinliu, and prepared to cook a grilled fish for Xiaoqing at night to thank Xiaoqing for protecting his kindness for many days.

After cleaning the fish, the dead branches were lit with fire. Not surprisingly, the fish was scorched, Su Suhang crossed off the charred part with a branch, and then tore off a piece of fish meat that was still intact and put it on Xiaoqing's mouth, but Xiaoqing was unmoved, looked at Su Suhang without waves, and did not eat it.

"Okay, it seems that Xiaoqing, you don't like cooked food, when I have achieved cultivation, I will catch some spirit beasts for you to eat." Su Suhang saw that Xiaoqing didn't eat, he ate it beautifully, Xiaoqing's survival in the mountains was much stronger than him, and he never had to worry about eating and drinking, although this grilled fish didn't have any seasoning, but for Su Suhang: "It's so fragrant!" ”

In the next half month, Ren learned the fireball technique during the day according to the cultivation experience of the fire technique, and at the same time contacted the only light body technique in the "Five Elements Spell", and at night spent all his sleeping time practicing qi, in order to accumulate and break through the second layer of qi training faster.

The rune paper in the cloth bag has also been studied by Su Suhang for use, the rune seal is very convenient to use, after aiming at the target, inject aura, and the rune seal will automatically release the spell carried on the rune paper.

Turned out the "Five Elements Spell" one by one, a total of fifteen rune seals, can only recognize that five of them are fireball runes, and six of the other ten should be spell runes of the same level as the fireball spell, only four look more advanced, but what are these ten spells?

We don't know, and we don't dare to use it. It's a pity that there is no map in the entire storage bag, if there is a map, wouldn't it be more convenient to find the sect of cultivating immortals, Su Suhang thought.

After cultivating to the first level of Qi training, Su Suhang found that although he could not exercise his body, his body was stronger under the tempering of the aura, this kind of strength was not the same as the nursing home he invited at home, from the appearance, he was almost the same as before, and his appearance and posture had not changed, but in fact, Su Suhang found that his strength was more than double that of the previous one by moving stones, and it definitely exceeded the previous nursing home.

At present, the realm of Suzhou, Suzhou and Hangzhou has been consolidated and steadfast, but if you want to be promoted to the second level of qi training, it cannot be completed overnight.

Su Suhang decided that he would still cultivate while advancing towards Youzhou.

In fact, Su Suhang himself has no bottom in his heart, he has been in the mountain for more than a month, he has never been to Youzhou, and he can only discern the direction according to the sun when the fog dissipates slightly at noon.

Su Suhang, who was slightly disappointed, still comforted himself: "It's okay, I still have Xiaoqing by my side, there is no shortage of food and drink, and I have the practice of cultivation, can a living person be suffocated to death by urine?" It's hard to say that you don't have to go to Youzhou to meet the Heavenly Sword Gate! ”

I didn't know the elixir on the road before, but now with the "Elixir Record", Su Suhang can learn to identify the elixir, set a small goal first, and plant the jade pendant space with the elixir.

Walking on the road, there are many poisonous insects and beasts in the mountains and forests, and the vines are overgrown with weeds, although there is Xiaoqing protection, it is still necessary to be more careful, Su Suhang whips the grass from time to time with a wooden stick to drive away some mosquitoes, although the body is now enhanced, but the skin has not thickened enough to resist mosquitoes.

"Whoa..."

There was a murmuring of water ahead.

After walking forward for a few hours, there was no drinking water, and the surrounding area was full of fog, and finally found water, Su Suhang couldn't wait to take a step, and was about to rush to the lake to drink water, but Xiaoqing took the lead and flashed out, arching himself on the shore and making a "hissing" sound against the calm lake.

Seeing this situation, Su Suhang immediately stopped, flipped his hands, and felt out two fireball talismans, waiting for the battle.

After living in the mountains with Xiaoqing for more than a month, Su Suhang also discovered that ordinary poisonous insects and poisonous snakes took a detour when they saw Xiaoqing, and they had never seen Xiaoqing so tight for more than a month, so they took out their only means of attack.

At this time, Su Suhang also found that something was wrong, when he was rushing in the mountains and forests before, although there were no fierce beasts blocking the way, but he could also hear birds and insects, and at this moment the lakeside was quiet, without a sound.

A quick glance behind him showed that there was nothing unusual, indicating that there was indeed a problem in the lake in front of him, but it did not appear for unknown reasons.

Xiaoqing seemed to be a little helpless, and as soon as she opened her mouth, a black venom spurted out, piercing into the calm lake, causing a splash.

The water was churning, and a black shadow floated to the surface, accompanied by a thigh-thick column of water rushing towards Xiaoqing and Su Suhang behind it, Su Suhang, who had never experienced a battle before, reacted and couldn't dodge at all, Xiaoqing catapulted backwards and crashed into Su Suhang, knocking Su Suhang to the ground, which narrowly avoided this attack.

The shadow under the water also floated up, it turned out to be a big turtle more than a zhang long, the tortoise shell was full of barbs, the huge turtle head poked out of the shell, and the red eyes stared at Xiaoqing, ignoring Su Suhang,

The giant turtle opened its mouth, and another column of water rushed to its face.

Su Suhang, who fell to the ground, finally came back to his senses, rolled to the side, narrowly dodged the blow, looked at Xiaoqing, and easily dodged it with his slender figure, and at the same time opened his mouth to spit out a wisp of blue mist, the giant turtle was bulky and could not dodge, and resisted the blue fog, and the place where it was sprayed by the blue mist was all covered with a layer of ice, and Su Suhang saw Xiaoqing for the first time to release ice fog.

Seeing the two talismans scattered on the ground, he remembered to fight back. Picked up the talisman seal and released it at the giant tortoise, two basin-sized fireballs roared and flew towards the giant tortoise, but unfortunately Su Suhang used it for the first time, and missed, one fireball hit the giant tortoise's shell, and the other hit the forelimbs of the giant tortoise, burning a pitch black, and there was a burst of burnt fragrance.

The giant tortoise seemed to be very disgusted with flames, and turned his head to prepare for another water arrow for Su Suhang. Xiaoqing didn't give it a chance, and a flash appeared on the shell of the giant turtle, spitting out a cold mist at the turtle head, freezing the turtle head solidly.

Xiaoqing twisted the snake's tail and whipped on the ice block of the turtle head, and the entire turtle head shattered along with the ice block, and the dead could not die again.

Su Suhang slowed down on the ground for a while, stood up and patted the soil on his body, reflecting on his performance in the battle just now, if he blessed the light body technique in advance, he could definitely easily dodge the attack of the giant turtle, if his fireball charm could hit more accurately, hitting the turtle head would definitely hit the giant turtle hard, this time he could kill the giant turtle, it was all up to Xiaoqing to help him, but he couldn't always rely on Xiaoqing, he had to be self-reliant in order to gain strength, and he could have the opportunity to go back to take revenge.

Thinking of this, Su Suhang made up his mind to practice the fireball technique successfully first, and he couldn't just rely on the rune seal, after using up the two fireball runes, there were only three left, and the other runes didn't know what spells they were, so they didn't dare to move easily.

When I came back to my senses, I saw that the giant turtle in front of me was a little worried, the giant turtle was too big, and I had no weapons and knives to divide, so I couldn't put it in a storage bag, so I could only drag it to the shore and put it into the jade pendant space.

Everything is cleaned up, looking at the lake where the giant turtle lives, this giant turtle can grow so big, there must be an elixir, but he can't be watery, so he can't go down to the lake to find it.

After this battle, Su Suhang found that he was still too weak, and he just had some insights when he used the fireball talisman today, and he finally learned the fireball technique after practicing for a few days.

A fist-sized fireball staggered out and smashed on the water, just by casting the fireball technique, Su Suhang spent three breaths, but the fireball released was far from the fireball of the fireball charm, and it seemed that more practice was needed before it could be used in battle.

After the fierce beasts encountered, Su Suhang didn't let Xiaoqing make a move, his physical fitness was already beyond ordinary people, and after inflicting light on himself, his speed exceeded that of ordinary beasts, although he did not have the advantage of weapons, but just with a branch in his hand, he also killed many fierce beasts along the way, honing his fighting skills.

After another half a month, Su Suhang felt that he seemed to be about to break through the second layer of Qi training, so he found a big tree nearby and climbed up, which was also Su Suhang's own discovery, in fact, there is no need to sit cross-legged on the ground when practicing Qi, the main purpose of sitting on the ground is to meditate, there is no cave nearby, so he has to break through on the tree.

Arrange Xiaoqing to protect the Dharma, ride on the branches of the tree behind, and tie yourself and the tree together with your clothes to avoid falling down. Running the "Qingyun Practicing Qi Decision", the spiritual power in his own dantian circulated in the meridians with the exercises.

At this time, after seven weeks of running exercises, a sense of fullness arose, and Su Suhang knew that he had successfully broken through the second layer of Qi training, and the spiritual power in his body had increased a lot, and he could support himself to release more spells, and he could also try other spells in the "Five Elements Spell".
