Chapter 45: Ning Dan
Xiaolong came to Qi Zhiming's new home for the first time, and he was curious about everything here. It wandered and finally occupied the lake in the steppe and made it its dwelling.
After getting along with Xiaolong for a long time, Xiaolu Duoduo is not as scared as before, and occasionally they can play together.
The princess made a tour of the house, and then cultivated with Qi Zhiming in the cave.
The spiritual power emitted by the spirit stones in the cave is dense into fog, permeating the cave, like a dream, a fairyland.
The entrance to the cave was sealed, the spirit stone and beast core were taken out, and the energy liquid was prepared.
The two of them sat cross-legged on their knees, mobilized the internal force of the dantian, wandered around the limbs, rushed to the spiritual platform, and then introduced the dantian, and the cycle began.
When the internal strength in the dantian is insufficient, it absorbs the spiritual power from various resources to replenish it.
Day after day, day after night, the dantian is always in a state of fullness.
······
Qi Zhiming had not made any progress for several days, and knowing that he had reached a bottleneck, he stopped cultivating.
Standing up, he picked up some spirit stones and beast cores on the ground that had lost their spiritual power, glanced at the princess who was still cultivating, and walked towards the grassland.
The fawns were playing joy in the grass, chasing butterflies, and bouncing.
The little dragon sank to the bottom of the lake, the water was clear, and its long body could be seen, lying quietly at the bottom of the lake, sleeping soundly.
The spring water flowing from the cracks in the rocks is still slowly flowing into the lake, and it is scattered to all parts of the grassland.
The azure stone at the top of the cave is still bright.
Qi Zhiming slowly walked out of the cave, stood on the top of the mountain, and quietly felt the breath of heaven and earth.
The night was getting darker, and the cold and wet mist soaked the clothes, but I didn't realize it.
The sky was full of clouds and stars.
The insects and beasts on the island roared in their ears.
Sitting cross-legged, he entered the realm of selflessness.
The eyes look at the nose, the nose looks at the mouth, the mouth asks the heart, and the heart looks at all things.
The internal force in the dantian is slowly condensing. The refining shrunk, and then shrunk, until it became something the size of a soybean. The dantian was empty, and only a bean-shaped thing hung in it.
······
Qi Zhiming was still immersed in the breath of heaven and earth, motionless.
The aura around him was surging, gathering into bundles of white mist, entering his nostrils and entering the dantian.
The bean-like substance in the dantian is condensed and enlarged again, and then becomes smaller.
Time passed quickly, and before I knew it, the sky was white with fish belly.
Qi Zhiming stood up, shook off the dew drops on his body, took a deep breath of fresh air, and couldn't help but howl. The whistling sound turned from low to high, and there was a faint sound of a dragon's groan.
The breath was long, and the whistling became more and more high-pitched.
The clouds were stirred and rolled, and all the beasts were frightened, and the howling echoed among the mountains.
The long howl stopped, the turbidity in his chest was gone, and his whole body was happy.
······
"Brother Ming, is that you?" The princess shouted at the entrance of the cave.
Qi Zhiming hurriedly swept down from the peak, and the princess and Xiaolong both came out. I must have been awakened by my own whistle and came out to check, feeling guilty.
"I can't help but howl and disturb you?" Qi Zhiming said embarrassedly.
"We're fine, Brother Ming is the real cultivator now!" The princess said, staring intently at Qi Zhiming.
Look at his white face, look at his bright eyes.
"Nonsense. I've been cultivating for a while, you know. Qi Zhiming couldn't help but smile and said to the princess.
I couldn't hide the excitement in my heart: "It's just that I feel better now, better than ever." It was like being reborn, and the whole body was comfortable. ”
"Cultivating the Dharma is meant to strengthen the body and prolong life. Ordinary people are only so difficult to make an inch, and that is because the aura is scarce. Now don't talk about the heavenly treasures such as the spirit stone beast core and various cultivation resources, it is those inconspicuous flowers and plants on the island, in the human world, they are also priceless treasures, all treasures that can be encountered but cannot be sought. ”
"The elder said that you have a great opportunity, and it is true. The geographical conditions here are unique, and the cultivation resources are all available to you. In just a few months, you have already stepped into the door of cultivation, congratulations to Brother Ming! The princess said a lot excitedly, and her little face was full of envy.
Qi Zhiming was confused when he heard it, and asked suspiciously: "Girl, you have been talking for a long time." What is the Gate of Cultivation? Why can't I understand? ”
The princess laughed coquettishly: "Look at me, I just care about being happy for you." Brother Ming, before you howled, there was something strange in the dantian, right? Is there something the size of a bean? That is the inner pill that combines your vitality with your internal power and refines it. Only when he has condensed into Neidan can he be regarded as a true cultivator. ”
"Girl, you wait. The soybean-like thing in my dantian is Neidan? It has a beast core with a sea beast, and a small dragon has a dragon pill, all of which are the same thing? Qi Zhiming asked.
When Xiaolong heard about himself, he shook his head and nodded, expressing his approval.
The princess also nodded and said, "Yes, it's all the same." A lot of people can't do it in their lifetime. Brother Ming, you will succeed in a few months. Don't underestimate this Neidan, it can extend your life for at least two hundred years, and there are many benefits, so let's experience it slowly in the future! ”
Qi Zhiming settled down, thought about it and asked stupidly: "Yexiang, you also have Neidan, right?" How old are yours? ”
The princess blushed suddenly, straightened out her thoughts and said, "We were born in human form, and Nedan was also like a human at the age of four or five. If you keep cultivating, Neidan will slowly get bigger, very slowly. Besides, Neidan does not look at the size, but the purity, the more pure it is, the less easy it is to break. Otherwise, no matter how big the inner dan is, the purity is not enough, and it is broken, and it will be in vain. It has to be tempered constantly to make the inner dan hard. ”
The princess paused for a while, and then said, "It is said that after the completion of Neidan, the supernatural powers are vast. Heaven and earth, omnipotent, and life span regardless of years. ”
Qi Zhiming suddenly remembered the little doll he had seen in his dream before, and the old man in the cave at that time. It's still fresh in my memory. The words of the old man and the little doll's attitude towards herself are vivid.
After returning to the cave and sitting down, Qi Zhiming told the princess and Xiaolong about the previous dream.
I thought it was just a dream. Even though I often have the same dream, it's just a dream.
Now I feel the need to say it, let's refer to it together.
After all, he entered this sea area inexplicably, many inexplicable things happened, and he inexplicably formed the so-called Neidan.
The princess and the little dragon have lived for hundreds of years, and although they are both a little willful and childishly naughty, they must be much more knowledgeable than themselves.
"Brother Ming, what you dreamed about may be real. The other party may be a great achiever of Neidan, and that little doll may be the embodiment of cultivation, and he will see him again when the opportunity comes. ”
"It stands to reason that human society lacks cultivation resources, the air pollution is serious, and there is no aura at all, so how can we cultivate to the Inner Dan Dacheng?" The princess wondered.
Xiaolong shook his head as he listened, not knowing what he was meant.
"Whatever! There are so many incredible things that have happened to me. Take one step at a time, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, why do you want to do so much? Qi Zhiming said indifferently.
"Brother Ming, you are loved! Yexiang and you are married, you and I live and die together, and enjoy the beauty together. ”
"However, the heart is unpredictable, and although you are righteous and wise, you still need to be careful. Do not talk to others about your marriage. ”
"I know you're keeping your word. In the name of my wife, I beg you to swear by me. Before the Inner Dan is not completed, the matter of the Yudan will never be revealed! Otherwise, Yexiang will die immediately, and there will be no reincarnation! The princess said in a stern tone, forcing Qi Zhiming to make an oath.
Qi Zhi was moved, and secretly swore that he would never talk about the marriage with anyone. But he refused to follow the princess's words, and swore an oath in his mouth. Perfunctory: "If you have made an oath in your heart, you will never break your oath." ”
Although the princess was not at ease, it was impossible for him to swear in his mouth. knew that he had a deep affection for himself, so he had to tell him again and again.
For a few days, Qi Zhiming and the princess did not cultivate again. Before the flowers and under the moon, enjoy the romance.
······
When the princess packed Qi Zhiming's bags, she found the gall that Xiaolong gave him that day.
"Brother Ming, your kung fu on land can be handled so-so. But the underwater kung fu is very bad, you can't rely on the small, right? Although this gall is not as good as Neidan, it is very helpful for underwater vision. It's just that this is the most yang thing, I don't know if your body can stand it? The princess looked at the snake gall and said.
"Don't you know me? I have killed all the evil Jiao, and I can't bear its gall? Have you forgotten that the spiritual power of the Fire Dragon Ball is still in my body? Don't worry, it's okay. Qi Zhiming also wanted to strengthen his underwater skills, and said disapprovingly.
"Also, I really forgot. You take Jiao gall to refine, I'll give you the Dharma protection. The princess said and handed the gall to Qi Zhiming.
Qi Zhiming picked up the gall bladder, and the strong fishy smell hit him. I couldn't bear to smell more, held my breath, bit open a small bite, and the whale inhaled.
It was not bitter as expected, but with a medicinal smell. Feel it coolly, like an ice line along the chest and abdomen, and slide into the abdomen.
After a while, the body slowly became hotter, hotter and hotter, like a fire.
Quickly channel this heat to run through the whole body and disperse into the limbs.
His eyes were as red as blood, and his whole body was red.
White mist-like gas emerges from the top of the head.
Qi Zhiming's face was hideous, he endured the burning pain, carefully guided this heat, and stopped in the dantian, feeling hot.
The skin of the whole body slowly returned to normal.
"Brother Ming, how do you feel?" When the princess saw that he was fine, she let go of her heart and asked hurriedly.
"It started to burn like a fire, and it was very uncomfortable. Later, when I entered the dantian, I felt hot and comfortable! This gallbladder has no bitter taste, but has a medicinal taste, which is very delicious. Qi Zhiming smiled, forgetting the pain just now, and seemed to enjoy it.
"This gall is a treasure, of course it's a good thing, how many people dream of it!" The princess smiled, even happier than if she had eaten herself.
That's love.
"Then if you meet it again in the future, I'll give it to you." Qi Zhiming said apologetically.
"Are you stupid? It's the most yang thing, how can I take it? Sling the bull! The princess sneered.
Qi Zhiming smirked and touched his nose embarrassedly.
Looking at the lively little dragon next to him, the appearance of shaking his head is very anthropomorphic. Although it looks a little scary, I think it's still cute after watching it for a long time.
The princess no longer paid attention to Qi Zhiming and Xiaolong's play, and packed their bags.
No matter how big or small, never get tired of it.
Qi Zhiming looked bored, so he and Xiaolong went out of the cave and came to the top of the mountain. Far as the eye can see, the mountains are stacked.
The aura in the cave, although it was sealed in the cave by Qi Zhiming, no longer leaked. The trees are still green, and the aura on the island is still abundant.
The island is very large, and it is really a treasure place for cultivation.
sighed for a long time, drove Xiao Bu, and took Xiao Long to wander around the island.
There are many birds and beasts, and they are not afraid of people.
The mountains are full of flowers, the streams are murmuring, and you can't help but indulge in them. Stroll around the island, with a light footstep, lest you break the tranquility.
······
When she returned to the cave, the princess had already cleaned up and was teasing the fawn on the grass.
Seeing that Qi Zhiming and Xiaolong were back, he asked with a smile, "Have you brought food back?" I haven't eaten in a long time and I'm hungry. ”
"It's a beautiful scenery outside, and I can't bear to kill. The wild fruits on the island are sweet, why don't we go and eat some together? ”
"It's okay, this is our home, so don't kill. Let's go out and eat the fruit. ”
Qi Zhiming and his entourage came to the island again. The princess was also immersed in the beautiful scenery, stopping and marveling.
"Brother Ming, what are you thinking?" Seeing Qi Zhiming's thoughtful appearance, the princess asked.
"I'm wondering when I'll be able to live in this place with you forever!" Qi Zhiming sighed.
The princess was very moved: "Brother Ming, I know that you are good to me, and I like it very much!" After arranging the fate of our people, we will live here forever, and we will never have to worry about the world again for the rest of our lives. ”
"I may not have said some things, but you are my Qi Zhiming's wife and the princess of the clan. Do the elders really want humans and your people to reproduce? What will be the final fate of these human beings? I'm sure I won't agree to being killed for the sake of secrecy. Qi Zhiming looked at the princess's eyes and said seriously.
"You have also witnessed the beauty of the people. Human men will definitely be infatuated and unable to extricate themselves. Gou Hong must have known what the elders meant, but he didn't tell you because he was afraid of your traditional customs and stopped their plans. ”
"The men are all dead. Although the people of the clan have lived for hundreds of years, there will always be a day when they die. And that day will be the end of our merfolk race. ”
"Maybe in other seas, there are still our people. But after hundreds of years of searching, countless deaths of the clansmen, and still no one has been found. In line with the idea that humans and mermaids are the same clan, to finally save the continuation of the clan. ”
"However, Brother Ming can rest assured. Human men will only think that it is just a romantic encounter on a romantic island, and it will never be related again. The princess said sadly.
Qi Zhiming nodded and did not speak.
I feel sad about the situation of the mermaid, and I feel helpless about the absurdity of things.
Presumably, the elites found by Gou Hong, when they talked about their sexual encounters after dinner, did not know that their descendants were already living in another sea.
The topic was too heavy, and Qi Zhiming didn't want to talk about it anymore.
Zhou Yu beat Huang Gai, and he was willing to fight and suffer, which had nothing to do with him.
Except for his son and Gou Hong, there is no concern in human society.
It was slowly getting dark.
