As if facing a philosophical question, Xiao Mozhu looked at the clear cold pool and listened to the murmuring sound of the icefall, but he never had a clue.

Since there is no shortcut, then as Xiaoice said, just apply what you have learned!

Standing quietly on the edge of the pool, Xiao Mozhu slowed down his breathing and closed his eyes.

From the moment he closed his eyes, it was as if everything was quiet, and the voice in his ears was so peaceful.

Trying his best to keep himself in a state of "meditation", Xiao Mozhu recalled the thousands of spiritual powers he saw during the "fugue".

Next to Xiao Mozhu, three different spiritual powers exuded strong fluctuations, and when he closed his eyes, even if he didn't have to deliberately perceive his surroundings, he could feel these three spiritual powers, needless to say, they came from Pu Xueying, Xi Ziqian and Du Hanyun respectively.

The darkness was not so cold, Xiao Mozhu couldn't see it, but he faintly felt that something was pulsating in front of him......

No, not only in front, but also up and down, left and right, there is a strange atmosphere in all directions!

It was not the breath of a man, nor the breath of a demon, it was a breath that was more elusive and never perceived.

I can't see it, and I don't know where these breaths are, and I can't talk about what the old man said about "catching it", Xiao Mozhu couldn't help but be a little anxious.

However, the mood changed, the state of meditation was broken in an instant, all the strange aura around disappeared without a trace, and all that Xiao Mozhu could perceive was the breath of Pu Xueying and the others.

Helplessly opened his eyes, Xiao Mozhu sighed, the surrounding scenery still did not change at all, and the three people next to him were all the same as Xiao Mozhu just now, closing their eyes and meditating.

"The influence of the Sancai Great Wilderness Formation is still there, otherwise there might have been some eyebrows just now." Xiao Mozhu said with pity.

After that, Pu Xueying, Xi Ziqian, and Du Hanyun also frowned one after another, and it seemed that the progress was not going well.

Mountains are mountains, water is water, to comprehend a deeper meaning from it, it is not easy for Xiao Mozhu and the four of them, if it is not for the fact that they have been meditating for a few days, and there is also the guidance of the old man's "fugue", I am afraid that such an ethereal thing will be used for a lifetime, and there is no way to talk about it.

Whether it is the Xiao family, the Du family, or the Xi family, whether it is the Five Emperor Sword, the Tiangang Secret Blessing or the Hundred Character Word Seal, there has never been such a cultivation method, and the ancient spirit technique of the Pu family of Xianshan does not have the description of this wonderful realm.

Compared with the previous cultivation, it seems that the change from cultivating martial arts and strengthening the body to cultivating immortals and cultivating qi is not insignificant.

Finally, after Xiao Mozhu, Pu Xueying and the three of them also opened their eyes in disappointment, and the group's first attempt to rest ended in failure.

"It's not easy!" Du Hanyun hung his head, and the fighting spirit that had just been aroused suddenly disappeared, shaking his head and saying, dragging a long tail note.

"I think I'll have to retract what I said before, it seems impossible to master the Resting Technique in one day." Even Xi Ziqian lost confidence and said helplessly.

Xiao Mozhu patted the shoulders of the two of them one by one, and said, "It's good to take your time, if you want to hurry, you can't reach it, it's just the cultivation of the state of mind now, and there is still a long way to go." ”

Maybe it was just a fact, Du Hanyun and Xi Ziqian naturally understood this truth, so they could only nod.

"What? Hit a roadblock? ”

Behind the four people, Xiaoice suddenly appeared, showing a smile, looking at the young people who had failed with interest, and asked.

"Xiaoice, don't you talk about the wind and cold, don't you see that we are depressed?" Xi Ziqian turned around, looked at Xiaoice, who was still barefoot in a red dress, and said.

I don't know where I ran around, Xiaoice's appearance has changed a little, the sleeveless red dress is still thin, but the original braids are scattered and draped on the back.

"Huh? Xiaoice, what about your braids? Pu Xueying asked suspiciously.

Raising his hand, he grabbed a handful of his long hair, Xiaoice pouted, and said, "The leather band is broken, just throw it away, and it is no different to wear hair." ”

"Haha, I thought even the rubber bands were part of your body, but it wasn't!" Xi Ziqian said interestingly.

Xiaoice shook his head and explained, "Only this red dress is part of my body, not the leather band." ”

Syllable!

Clapped his hand heavily, Du Hanyun seemed to open his mouth and said, "I understand!" Since Xiaoice is wearing a red dress, you must be a red dream tapir! ”

"I have to be convinced that you only have one brain, and wonder if you can broaden your mind?" Xiaoice looked at Du Hanyun as if looking down at some kind of stupid animal, and said, "Red is just one of my favorite colors, it doesn't mean that I originally have red fur, I really want to change back into my body to hit you, but unfortunately, I can't do it!" ”

"Why can't you change back into your original form?" Du Hanyun smiled, he had already practiced cheeky kung fu in the time he spent with Xi Ziqian, and this irony was nothing to him.

Xiaoice tilted his head and said word by word, "None, but, bumper,!" ”

The group and Xiaoice have also been in contact for a long time, and have long regarded her as a friend, although the appearance looks like a short little girl, but the four of them are very clear that Xiaoice's real age can definitely make all mankind with an average age of less than eighty years old.

"Xiaoice Xiaoice, I know you're kind-hearted, can you kindly tell us some tips? Regarding the current stage of practice, resting or something? Xi Ziqian ran behind Xiaoice with a "dada", skillfully helped Xiaoice comb her hair, and then asked.

"The trick?"

Xiaoice looked at the four people in a circle of puzzlement, and said, "You have just learned to meditate 'meditation', and you have just touched the threshold of the 'meditation' realm, so you are encountering difficulties?" Didn't I tell you to apply what you have learned? ”

"Meditation is a state, not a temporary state, it is only when you meditate on the Ice Wind Cliff that you can appreciate that kind of artistic conception, it is far from enough, anytime, anywhere, even if you are asleep, you can maintain a state of meditation, which is called to reach that state!"

"The resting technique that the old man taught you is a very profound realm of spiritual art, in the final analysis, whether it is spiritual art or demon magic, it is the same way, and in the end, it is infinitely close to a certain form! So, in order to master the art of rest, you have to continue to improve your state of mind. ”

"Huh? Why is it so complicated, my head is so big, there is really no shortcut? Du Hanyun asked unrelentingly.

"Yes! There may be some risks, though. Xiaoice said with a serious expression.

"Hahaha! I'll just say, there must be a shortcut, right? Speak up, talk fast! Du Hanyun smiled proudly, glad that he had asked Xiaoice such a question wisely, because maybe it could save a lot of time and energy.

"Isn't that easy? If you can stop breathing forever, maybe you will be able to comprehend it when you are dying! The corners of Xiaoice's mouth rose, and he looked at Du Hanyun with raised eyebrows, and said.

"Stop breathing? How? Du Hanyun asked.

Xi Ziqian already covered her face in shame, Xiao Mozhu and Pu Xueying couldn't help laughing, it seemed that only Du Hanyun, who was anxious about the authorities, was still in the dark.

Xiaoice slowly raised his little hand and clenched it into a fist in front of Du Hanyun's eyes, just when Du Hanyun thought that this was some kind of body technique, but he said unexpectedly, "I just need to kill you!" ”

"Uh......" It was only at this time that Du Hanyun understood that he had been fooled by Xiaoice around the bend.

"Anyway, it means that if you want to master the Resting Technique, the requirements for your state of mind are higher than meditating on the Ice Wind Cliffs, right?" Xi Ziqian asked bluntly.

Xiaoice nodded and said, "Not only that, but it is also required to be able to maintain a state of 'meditation' all the time, fearless, and distracting, this is the purpose, and Hantan is the place that can best help you around here." ”

"Hey, I thought I could start an interesting cultivation, but the result is still the same! Boring, boring! Xi Ziqian looked at a pool of clear cold pool water and said boringly.

can complain and complain, Xi Ziqian is not a person who gives up and retreats easily, perhaps it is the supreme cultivation of "Sanhua Hot ÷ Booktop" who is guiding her, and she is the first to regain her strength.

Sitting down on a clean stone some distance away from Hantan, Xi Ziqian closed her eyes again, looking for an artistic conception that made her distracted, and her expression was so pious that people couldn't help but give her a thumbs up.

Under the leadership of the self-motivated Xi Ziqian, the other three also found a place to meditate and guard their minds, and began to cultivate their perception and comprehension.

The sky is vast, the snow is blue, the ice waterfall cold pool returns to tranquility, in the low place of this snow refining peak, there are still a small amount of green plants around the mountain, and there are moss on the left and right of the ice waterfall, compared to the desolate and desolate, and the ice wind cliff accompanied by snow, it seems to be much quieter and more beautiful.

On this day, the icefall cold pool was a little more alive than before, after all, there were a few young people who looked like pilgrims quietly "praying" here.

Without clear teaching, Xiao Mozhu can only think and imagine to "go" forward, but the old man has done enough, the realm of the heart is not something that can be easily inspired by words, but requires his own corresponding thinking and awareness, and he can only explore it by himself.

Whether it is the ice or water falling from the waterfall, or the cold pool of a pool, and the surrounding stones, they are all inanimate things, and Xiao Mozhu wants to "see" the "spirit" that belongs to them in such inanimate things, as if he is moving towards an illusory goal.

The dying yellow grass, the dead trees that have fallen all the flying leaves, and the moss that survives in the cracks, each has the ability to live, and under the current Xiao Mozhu and his party's best efforts, they can also "see" their weak spiritual power, and they are also "living" creatures in the end.

"Dead" things are a different story......

Like a distant whisper, or like a slowly floating air current, difficult to hear and difficult to see, Xiao Mozhu almost blended into this strange space, and even his own sense of existence seemed to become blurred.

Everything around you has its own "breathing pulse", which is different from other times and blends into everything.

When following the old man "fugue", Xiao Mozhu only briefly saw the ethereal artistic conception, which was far from "clear", and when he really calmed down, he actually slowly felt the magical scene.

Although his eyes were closed, for some reason, Xiao Mozhu could know what the strange air currents around him were coming from......

Here's a grass, there's water, there's rocks, there's dirt......

Everything has not changed in any way because of Xiao Mozhu's discovery, as if this situation should be like this, whether you see it or not, whether you can feel it or not, it doesn't affect them at all.

Is this the realm of "meditation"? But how do you "catch" them?

Xiao Mozhu didn't move in this bizarre space, he could only "observe", and he couldn't take any other action, probably because this was the illusory space that Xiao Mozhu saw when he closed his eyes and contemplated.

Being able to see these strange scenes is already a great progress, and besides, the practice of the Resting Technique is only the first day.

Sitting quietly on the edge of the cold pool, I don't know how much time has passed, Xiao Mozhu opened his eyes again, and all the strange scenes suddenly dissipated in this instant, and the scene in front of him was still the ice waterfall and the cold pool.

The sky was clear, the sun had already risen in mid-air, and it had only been a few hours since I entered the state of "meditation".

At this time, Xiao Mozhu did not feel the slightest tiredness, but felt in good spirits, not at all like he had been practicing for a long time.

Looking at the three people sitting in other places, Xiao Mozhu found that Pu Xueying, Xi Ziqian and Du Hanyun, although they were all sitting quietly, without exception, their brows were half furrowed and their lips were pursed, which seemed to be not going well.

In the shallow water of the cold pool, a red figure was bent over, ghostly and busy with something.

Gently lifting his right foot, Xiaoice took a step forward, the pool water rippled slightly, and the movement was not big.

The hem of the red dress was tied into a knot, which would not fall due to slight movements, and would not get wet, and Xiaoice leaned over in it, reaching out to touch something in the cold pool.

Xiao Mozhu maintained a cross-kneeled sitting posture and watched Xiaoice's movements with interest.

Suddenly remembering that Xi Ziqian had been frozen by the cold pool water before, but at this time, Xiaoice was not affected in the slightest, Xiao Mozhu couldn't help but ask, "Isn't the water cold?" ”

"Huh?"

Hearing someone suddenly speaking behind him, Xiaoice stood up straight in surprise, turned around, and saw Xiao Mozhu, who had finished sitting with his eyes closed, and said, "Are you sober?" Asking about this water? ”

Pointing to the pool of water that reached his knees, Xiaoice nodded when he saw Xiao Mozhu, and then said, "It's cool, but it's not too cold, don't compare my senses with humans, after all, I'm not human!" ”

Xiaoice puffed out her cheeks in anger, and she had reminded many times about not comparing herself with humans.

"Sorry, sorry, just curious." Xiao Mozhu shook his hand and said apologetically.

"It's not good to be curious! Hum! ”

Xiaoice protested, and went back to play in the water by himself.
