Chapter 39: Try Again
"Xiao Longkui, which medical school are you majoring in Yuanshou Mountain?"
A few days later, in the afternoon of Xia Fanxing and Zhou Zhu's bedroom, Gongsun Longkui and Xia Fanxing sat face-to-face and chatted. Zhou Zhu was practicing his sword outside the cultivation mansion at this time, and Xia Fanxing's dantian blockade was finally lifted in the morning, and now he was not in a hurry to cultivate, so he stayed in the mansion.
Xiao Longkui didn't follow his few senior brothers and sisters to cultivate in Lingshan, so he meditated in the Inner Sect for a while, and when he felt bored, he came to Xia Fanxing to chat.
Fang Cai Long Kui told him about the three major medical schools and the five basic methods of Yuanshou Mountain. The branch of the Yuanshou Mountain Dao method is very clear, the monks above the middle stage of condensation qi are based on the Tianyin star qi, and the three major schools of medicine cut into the treatment of different angles and parts of the human body. The five doors are five ways to observe the human body, and the purple bee needle that Shoujun showed in front of Xia Fanxing at that time belongs to the acupuncture door in the five doors. The doctors of Yuanshou Mountain must cultivate the Heavenly Yin Star Qi, and most of them will choose one of the three sects to cultivate, and the five sects must master all of them. The art of alchemy is a Taoist method that everyone has to learn.
Of course, when Shishou Jun was longevity, he had cultivated all of these methods to the extreme, and he was proficient in all three sects and five sects plus various elixirs and spiritual herbs.
"I'm from the 'Zhou Tian True Qi Circulation' faction. The main point of our research is the true qi of the dantian, and the means of healing the patient also start from the breath. You see, the powerful disciples of our medical school will be equipped with a medicine gourd. This is a unique Yuanxi gourd on Yuanshou Mountain. The healer's dantian breath and the Yuanxi gourd are blended, and the gourd is a spiritual object, and it will have a little spiritual wisdom after a long time. It can promote the star qi sensitivity of our dantian, so that our medical skills and means are more effective. ”
After listening to Nightshade's words, Xia Fanxing nodded thoughtfully, glanced at him, and asked a question that made Nightshade scratch his head, "That, are there many foxes on your Yuanshou Mountain?"
Nightshade shook his head, "Around the main mountain, there are basically no wild beasts appearing. There are very few spirit foxes among the spirit beasts raised by the sect. But on other hills near Mt. Yuanshou ... There are a lot of spirit beasts, and there must be a spirit fox too. Perhaps, there is also a breed of demon fox. ”
"Well... Would you like to practice your medical skills?" Xia Fanxing nodded and asked mysteriously.
Nightshade gave him a strange look and asked keenly, "Are you sick?"
"I feel like Dantian these days... Something strange. I can't say for sure. So please help me take a look, just practice it, and I'll also see how powerful the disciples of Yuanshou Mountain are. He pointed to his abdomen, looked at the strange-looking nightshade, and smiled and beckoned to him.
It turned out to be for him to practice his hands. Nightshade suddenly came to strength, nodded excitedly, waved his hand, and summoned several silver needles with unique shapes from the medicine gourd.
"Wow... The aura around the dantian is in a ring shape, and it should have just returned to activity. Did you feel weak two days ago, and you had a feeling of dantian occlusion?"
Nightshade gently pulled a thin needle out of Xia Fanxing's subumbilicus qi sea acupoint, and Xia Fanxing felt a sour and itchy feeling. After hearing Nightshade's words, he nodded and asked, "Indeed, my dantian was almost closed a few days ago. It feels pretty much the same as you said. ”
Long Kui scratched his head and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Brother Xia, there is something special about your dantian. I extracted a small amount of the breath in the dantian through the silver needle, and I always felt that there was a little bit of it that was not your own breath. You know what I mean, right?"
When he said this, Xia Fanxing was not surprised, "I understand, you continue." ”
"All I can say is that these breaths that don't belong to you, uh, activate some kind of strange self-defense measures within the dantian, and in some cases there is a tendency to block the dantian aura. Because everyone has a mechanism in their body that automatically defends against the invasion of foreign things. But really, like you said, the dantian has been completely closed... That seems a bit serious. ”
Xia Fanxing's expression became serious, "I want to know how to avoid this from happening." ”
It seems that with the level of nightshade, he has not been able to sense the trace of the Moon Demon Pill breath in the dantian.
Nightshade's expression was embarrassed, and after thinking for a while, he said with a smile, "I... I think one thing is more important. Don't overindulge. You think, that process is the easiest way to blend with the outside world...... And I guess that if you fight too hard with others, your dantian will also take self-protection measures..."
Xia Fanxing's face darkened. However, it seems that the last time he was carrying out Dao and Yi dual cultivation with Su Qiao, the dantian of both sides needed to sense each other, and Su Qiao also sent his own breath into his body to help him complete the breath into the blood. However, all this finally made his dantian closed again. Come to think of it this way... Nightshade has a point. It doesn't matter if his dantian absorbs some of the heaven and earth aura from the outside world, but it may repel other people's aura and the medicinal qi with high strength. He thought about it for a while, patted Nightshade on the shoulder, and said with a wry smile, "What does it have to do with indulgence... How can a monk of our age do such a thing..."
"Yes, yes. Except for some of the unique methods of the Yin-Yang Sect, sexual intercourse is basically harmful to our monks' bodies. Brother Xia, can you remember what happened after this strange situation in your dantian?"
Xia Fanxing showed a puzzled and thoughtful look, naturally he would not tell Nightshade about that night. I thought about it and shook it. Unexpectedly, the physical examination just now made Nightshade interested. The little boy nodded, put the medicine back into the gourd, and came to Xia Fanxing and said with great interest, "In your case, why don't you let me check your body regularly in the future?" ”
Xia Fanxing thought about it and felt that this proposal was very good. First of all, the Moon Demon Pill is originally a thing of Yuanshou Mountain, and after the cultivation of the dragon nightshade is improved, maybe it can really help him solve the mystery of the Moon Demon Pill. But the premise is that he doesn't want Long Kui to tell Shoujun and Pan Tao and others about this.
He smiled and nodded, and said to the enthusiastic little nightshade, "That's great." Anyway, the two of us are allies now, and we will definitely communicate often in the future. You will definitely be able to make great achievements in the medical Tao in the future, thank you for this kindness. ”
"But... You don't want to tell anyone about my physical condition, okay? I don't want those sect masters to think about me like an experiment. Besides, this strange phenomenon only occurs occasionally. ”
"No problem, no problem, no problem, you can rest assured that I will be very satisfied with this condensing junior. .."
At this time, the bedroom door was knocked twice sharply, and then someone pushed the door directly. Xia Fanxing looked at the person who walked in stunned, "Senior sister, why are you here?"
Hou Ying had a slightly dissatisfied expression on her face, her eyebrows frowned slightly, and she said in an unhappy tone, "Sister Su, why didn't you tell me about it a few days ago?"
Xia Fanxing stood up when she heard this, didn't rush to answer her question, and asked with concern, "Is she awake?"
"It was Uncle Seventh who told me. No wonder I didn't see her the other day. Sister Su is awake. You didn't tell me before you went to double practice with her a few days ago, and you didn't tell me when she was sick... Don't take it as an example!" Hou Ying said coldly. Gongsun Longkui, who was on the side, heard the word "double cultivation" and widened his mouth in surprise. Xia Fanxing gave him a few glances and shook his head secretly, not what he thought!
Seeing the little nightshade, he then showed an expression of surprise and sudden realization. Xia Fanxing was extremely helpless, and said to Hou Ying, "I know, next time if Master calls the two of us over, I must report to Senior Sister first..."
Hou Ying interrupted him, glanced at the little boy in medical clothes on the side, and said, "Accompany me to Zhixuanfeng to see Sister Su." I'll ask you later what happened!"
Xia Fanxing nodded, turned around and patted Nightshade's shoulder, and squeezed his eyes hard, "Go find your senior brothers and sisters, my brother has left beforehand." ”
At the foot of Zhixuan Peak.
"Do you remember the day we were in the secret realm, and my dantian was blocked? That night before, the first step of our Dao Mind Fusion was almost successful. As a result, when she finally tried to sense the situation in my Dan room, it happened again. Then Sister Su also seemed to be physically exhausted, and Danhan's illness recurred. ”
"Is your injury healed? Just go and try this kind of strength cultivation rashly, what if you absorb the residual poison into the dantian again?" Hou Ying sighed, but blamed Xia Fanxing for not paying attention to his body.
"Uh... Master thinks it's okay, I'll just go over. Actually, you may not have noticed, senior sister. Because of this strange mechanism in my dantian, any external factor that wants to invade my dantian will trigger this mechanism and block the dantian for a period of time. And I'm finding that this time is getting longer... Therefore, even if I gather spirits, it is impossible for those residual poisons to enter my dantian... Don't worry. ”
"Oh? I don't think I thought of that. According to you, I've been taking care of you for nothing all this time, right? Alas, what a waste of time!"
Senior sister's temper, how does it feel more and more like a child... Xia Fanxing scratched his head helplessly, and hurriedly said a few good words.
And he didn't realize that in fact, when he got along with Hou Ying, his personality changed a lot.
"You're finally here. Hou Ying, don't worry, she's fine. Come on in. ”
Xin Heng stood at the door of the mountain house and beckoned the two to enter. There was still a little tired and distressed look on his face, he was really heartbroken about Su Qiao's condition these days.
Su Qiao, who was lying on the Xinheng bed, was still very pale. His lips were blue and the corners of his eyes were dark. He was covered with several layers of thick quilts. His hands were on the outside, but he kept shaking.
"What the hell is this... Sister Su, why didn't you say to me before..."
Hou Ying saw Su Qiao's sick appearance, which was very different from the full spirit of the past. She sat on the edge of the bed, held Su Qiao's cold hand, and said bitterly.
Su Qiao showed a pale smile, "People, it's inevitable that you will get sick." Even the monks could not get rid of it. My sister's illness rarely attacks, so you don't have to worry too much about me. ”
"Sister Su, you... You're not going to leave the sect anytime soon, are you?" Xia Fanxing lowered his head after coming in, and suddenly asked.
"I'm almost recovered now. Daoist Xincang died in the Great War, and his disciples are now all my apprentices. I definitely won't leave the sect for a while. Besides, things between us haven't worked out yet... Ahem..."
Su Qiao said to Xia Fanxing with a smile. At this time, he suddenly felt a faint movement in his dantian. He glanced at Su Qiao on the bed in surprise, only to see her coughing constantly. The Xinheng Daoist hurriedly walked up to her and stretched out his hand to take her pulse. While instructing Xia Fanxing, "Fanxing, go outside and pour a bowl of hot water." ”
"Your illness, can't the Seventh Senior Uncle solve it?..."
Xia Fanxing hurriedly got up and went out, coming in with a bowl of hot water, Su Qiao slowly took it, and shook his head at Hou Ying, "Maybe, it may be that the previous cultivation was promoted too quickly, and there were some side effects that were difficult to solve..."
Xin Heng sighed and said helplessly, "While you were sleeping, I invited Yuanshou Mountain Hucang Daoyou to come and check your body. He is proficient in the two schools of medicine and the five schools of Shoumen. Tiger Cang couldn't say how this rare disease appeared. What he told me was the same as we had guessed before, and that was the side effect of realm ascension. The disease is almost incurable. Only... Waiting for you to enter the next great realm before it can be completely eradicated. However, I can't say if there will be more serious problems when I get to the Yuan Infant Realm..."
"Xiao Su, it's me who didn't think it through. You shouldn't have suffered so long in the Arctic Imperial Palace.. The current situation may be related to the life of the Arctic Emperor Palace for more than ten years..."
"Dao Chief, how can I blame you for these things. After he left, you treated me like a daughter, and I was able to have my current cultivation all because of your great kindness. ”
At this time, Xia Fanxing had completely ignored the conversation of the other three. After the strange movement in the dantian just now, he was shocked to feel that the white qi that would appear every time before the abnormal change in the dantian occurred, was generated around the dantian again. The seven Spirit Tripods all became extremely calm.
Xia Fanxing kept staring at Su Qiao's weak eyes, as if she had to waste a lot of strength even to lift her eyelids. On the other hand, he tried his best to control his dantian and not fall into the previous situation again. But just like the previous times, the triggering of the mechanism is not under his control at all!
Just as his abdomen was gradually completely surrounded by white qi, Xia Fanxing couldn't help but want to ask for his master's help, Su Qiao suddenly opened his eyes, but with a blazing aura that was completely different from his sick body. At this time, their voices became clear again in Xia Fanxing's ears.
Su Qiao's weak voice said, "During the time I was asleep... I feel like I've had a long dream..."
Xia Fanxing, who was standing behind Xin Heng, was surprised to find that the white qi in the dantian had stopped spreading and calmed down. The feeling of blockage became stronger and stronger, and it froze in his Dan room for a while. It seems that something is waiting for you.
"What did you dream about?" Xia Fanxing, who hadn't spoken for a long time, his voice trembled a little, and he forcibly squeezed out a smile and asked.
"About your dreams. Su Qiao glanced at Xia Fanxing meaningfully, and continued to say to Hou Ying in front of him, "I dreamed that I saw the appearance of the Dao intent in the Dan room after the stars formed the Dan. ”
"Oh?" Xinheng's face showed a playful look, "So, you two didn't have nothing to gain that night..."
Su Qiao smiled, "Yes." This dream is long, long. But I forgot a lot. I thought that the reason why my illness flare-up after the double meditation that night was probably because I could see this dream. ”
The smile on her face became more and more mysterious, Xia Fanxing only felt that the breath of her whole body seemed to be stagnant, and the dantian fell into an extremely mysterious state.
She glanced at the depressed Hou Ying, brushed the green silk on her forehead, and said with a smile, "This double cultivation is really ordinary and simple. Don't think about it. ”
Xin Heng continued, "The reason why the old man wants the two of them to do this is actually looking for a way to help Su Qiao completely get rid of his stubborn illness. It's just the first step to encounter such a failure, and I don't see any clues in the stars. It's a pity. ”
"No, I think, there's something to be gained. It's just a pity that I didn't recall what I sensed in the Star Pill room in my dream. Although I can't say that what is in the dream is real, I think it is an omen. The situation of his dantian is not uncrackable. One day, he will be able to break through the barriers and enter his heart. Right?"
Xia Fanxing nodded slowly, looking at Su Qiao's pair of smart beautiful eyes, and suddenly felt that she was unfathomable at the moment. Because, at this time, he found that a small part of the white qi around the dantian had dissipated!
The seven spirit tripods regained their brilliance and operated lightly, returning to their usual appearance.
He knew that Su Qiao had already tried to enter his dantian again just now! She didn't give up, maybe in her previous slumber, she was also looking for a way to solve this dilemma!
"By the way, Senior Brother just said to me that this situation occurs when there are external substances trying to invade his dantian. In fact, when he was in the Yongmei Secret Realm before, he took a spirit grass called Hanmei Grass, but because the medicinal power was too strong, he also appeared in a short-term closed state. Hou Ying thought of this and said.
Su Qiao nodded, "I know, I also understand that his dantian is repelling my aura, which is why this strange mechanism is triggered." Although it is not known how exactly this mechanism came about. But... I wondered, if his dantian no longer thought that my breath was an infringement, wouldn't it be able to succeed?"
She looked at Xia Fanxing's eyes, and at this time he understood what she meant, and suddenly realized a deeper truth!
When he is strong enough, so strong that no one in the world can infringe on him, then he doesn't need such self-protection measures, he can completely control his dantian.
Or, when he's confident enough to think he's omnipotent and invincible, what else can make him feel scared?
Could it be that all this is because of a lack of security, a lack of self-confidence? He is actually able to control his body. When his mind is strong enough to change his dantian, he can completely control his dantian.
Xia Fanxing showed a shallow wry smile. However, having that kind of confidence is not easy to say. At least, it couldn't be something that a small foundation-building monk could do.
However, Su Qiao didn't mean that. "When he was able to trust me completely, that trust was beyond ordinary trust. It is even equivalent to awakening countless memories before reincarnation, when the two of us really have the highest identity, this trust can transcend the shackles of cultivation, and we can do everything that we can't do now. ”
At this time, an extremely subtle purple-red aura appeared around the water hole on Xia Fanxing's right rib, penetrating his Dao robe and skin, and entering the surroundings of the dantian. The white qi, which had already dimmed a little, surged up again, engulfing the spiritual light belonging to Su Qiao at once, and fell into stagnation again.
He understood, and he also understood from Su Qiao's words, that he still didn't let go on the night of double cultivation. He had too many knots in his heart that he couldn't let go, and he couldn't fully devote himself to the kind of trust that Su Qiao said. As she said, it is not easy to achieve such mutual trust. It even made him feel that even if he could let go of the Xuan Energy, the Yin Demon Sect, and the experiences he had experienced in two months, he still wouldn't be able to touch this realm of complete interdependence.
He had already felt that feeling of total dependence, but not to a rather insufficient extent. After all, he's just a weak-crowned teenager who hasn't experienced anything really big.
In fact, Su Qiao himself can't do this now.
has not seen the wind and waves, has not experienced the great right and wrong, it is difficult for the young man's heart to achieve that kind of realm, which is also the highest realm of Taoist integration. It is a kind of surrender to each other, but also a sublimation of each other. It is illusory and mysterious, but this realm does exist. It's just that it takes a lot of effort.
But at least, it exists. Now he can't understand the influence of the Moon Demon Pill on him at all, he doesn't know that his character still has many flaws, and he doesn't know how many detours he will take in the future. At least, Su Qiao's words made him realize that the direction he should really work in on the way to the road vaguely drew a way out of these troubles. The most important thing on the path of cultivation is not cultivation, but the mind.
"Well said...... In fact, this is the most important realm of the Dao and Yi Fusion Method. Su Qiao, it's right not to give up. The two of you had a fate in your previous life, and you can achieve a true blend of Dao and Mind. Don't give up, one day, you will get what you both want, or even awaken memories of the past. ”
After listening to her words, Xinheng sighed with emotion and completely agreed with Su Qiao's opinion. Hou Ying on the side was a little stunned when she heard it.
Su Qiao was right. Yes, it is true that you should not give up because of dantian and problems. As long as the two of them are willing to work hard and care for things silently, one day she will no longer be considered an enemy by his dantian, so that Xia Fanxing can let go of it wholeheartedly and accept the blending of Taoism. And once the two of them can reach this level, all the steps of the next Dao Mind Fusion Method, Xin Heng believes, there will be no obstacles. Because when they complete the first step, they realize the most important truth.
Of course, this will be a long way to go. It takes time, patience, experience, and chance.
Xia Fanxing smiled, these will be there. He was now beginning to be extremely curious about the relationship between Su Qiao and himself before his reincarnation.
Everyone who meets in this life and this life may have had a relationship before several reincarnations. But Xia Fanxing knew that this relationship with Su Qiao was definitely not ordinary.
He has accepted this kind of fate and is willing to work hard with Su Qiao.
In the dantian, there was a sudden violent spasm. Xia Fanxing forcibly endured this burst of pain, and once again used his divine sense to sense.
The white qi that had originally permeated between several acupuncture points suddenly and slowly retreated towards the dantian at this time, and the speed of retreat became faster and faster. He felt that the dantian that he had already felt numb had regained its vitality, and the aura in his whole body was activated again. This was the first time he had observed the situation after the failure of the dantian blockade. It seems that these white gases feel that there is no threat, and then they retreat one after another.
It's just that the faint purple-red aura just now came from Su Qiao's body, but at this time, he didn't sense its existence at all. He raised his head suddenly, looking at Su Qiao, who was still smiling and talking to Hou Ying. There was a faint look of satisfaction on her face. The next scene was very strange, the look on Su Qiao's face dimmed suddenly, and her face became extremely weak, and before Hou Ying and Xin Heng could ask, her weak voice said, "I'm a little tired, Qiqi, can you let me rest for a while before talking......
