Chapter 20: Miracles and Ancestor Worship
Ji Ning's mind was empty, like a bright moon in the sky, looking down on the changes in his body.
On the crystal wheel of life, those subtle scars were gradually repaired, and the essence of life washed towards the rings engraved by the passage of seventeen years.
This is a change beyond Ji Ning's expectations, and it is also a miracle that cannot be replicated.
After the power of time in the wheel of the year was extracted by the bronze mirror, all the impossible became possible.
One, two, and three ......, and there were six annual rings that completely disappeared under the washing of the life essence.
The wheel of life rotated lightly, and each annual ring on it was like a chain, and after breaking free from six chains in a row, Ji Ning could clearly feel the vigor and vitality emanating from it.
He had a realization in his heart, "Next year's birthday will be the best time for me to cultivate the Nine Transformations of the Heavenly Silkworm." ”
…………
On the last night of the year 4715 of the Xuanyuan calendar, Ji Ning stood alone in front of the window.
There is no one to accompany him, and he doesn't need anyone to accompany him.
The stars in the sky tonight are bright and shining.
The starlight sprinkled on his body made Ji Ning feel very kind.
Although the night is already deep, the city of Tongbai County is still lively.
Unconsciously, it has come to the time of the first day of the year, and at this moment, the firecrackers in the city are ringing out to bid farewell to the old year and welcome the new year.
Ji Ning closed his eyes and listened.
The continuous sound of firecrackers represents a new year and a new beginning.
One is renewed, and everything is renewed.
On the first day of the new year, the most important thing is to worship the ancestors.
Ji Ning changed his clothes, went downstairs and took a taxi, and headed all the way to the southern suburbs.
The main vein of Tongbai Mountain in the south of Tongbai County is from west to east, winding in the south of the county border, which is the natural dividing line of Zhongzhou and Jingzhou.
Legend has it that Prince Qiao, the son of King Zhou Ling of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, once cultivated immortals on the rooftop of Tongbai Mountain, and was called Tongbai Zhenjun; During the Warring States period, the Chu people Guiguzi inhabited this cultivation; Tai Bai Xing cultivated immortals here and attained the Tao.
It is rumored that Tongbai Mountain is the hermitage of Zhang Liang, a famous minister of the Han Dynasty, and the name of the cave is Zhang Liang Cave.
In the context of the revival of aura, these legends have put a veil of mystery on Tongbai Mountain.
The ancestral tomb of the Ji family is located at the foot of a green mountain, surrounded by green water, bless future generations with a long life.
This time, there were hundreds of people from the Ji clan who were qualified to participate in the ancestor worship.
This is actually forced out, after the general environment changed, everyone took the blood relationship as a bond and hugged together for warmth, so families of different sizes were quickly formed.
After all, blood is thicker than water, and one's own family members should be more reliable than outsiders.
Ji Ning and Ji Feng, Ji Yun and other younger generations stand together, and their personal cultivation is different, but they are all in the stage of initiation.
Most of the people who are cultivating are the best foundation laying methods, and there are a few people who are the same as Ji Ning, who are cultivating the supreme foundation laying method.
One of them has vigorous qi and blood on his body, which is manifested outside the body, and is shaped like a giant python. This person's cultivation turned out to be a physical cultivation into the Dao method, "Yuan Python Swallowing Star Record".
Physical cultivation into the Tao has three levels of bright energy, dark energy, and chemical energy, and if you want to step into the innate nature, you must "hold the Dan".
The "Qi and Blood Yuan Dan" of physical cultivation, also known as the prototype of Jindan, is integrated into the earth's veins and the Nine Heavens Gangqi, and the success rate of forming Jindan is extremely high.
Every successful physical cultivation of "Bao Dan" is regarded as a quasi-Jindan monk with a bright future.
The only drawback is that it is too difficult to "hold Dan".
"Boom!"
At this time, the salute sounded, and the solemn ancestor worship ceremony was carried out in an orderly manner under the auspices of Ji Hongzhe, the patriarch of the Ji clan.
After the ancestor worship ceremony, Ji Ning and other young people were gathered together by the patriarch Ji Hongzhe and walked towards the mountain.
After stepping over a row of warning piles, Ji Ning immediately felt his body sink, and his originally relaxed pace suddenly became heavy.
Ji Yiming, the only Jindan real person in the Ji family, lives in the mountains, and every year when he worships his ancestors, he will take the time to guide his younger generations to practice.
When the youth is strong, the family can prosper. In this way, it makes sense for everyone to get together and huddle together for warmth.
On the mountain road, after everyone walked up a hundred meters, Ji Yang was the only one left who could keep pace with Ji Ning.
Ji Yang said: "How about a comparison to see who climbs to the top first?" ”
Ji Ning nodded and said, "Okay." ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw Ji Yang throw off his arms and stride forward.
Ji Ning then caught up, and the two of them went one after the other, and soon disappeared.
In the crowd behind, Ji Yun's eyes widened, and he hit Ji Feng beside him with his arm, and said, "Crazy, Brother Ning shouldn't have really cultivated the 'Heaven and Earth Oven Method', right?" ”
Ji Feng glanced at Ji Yun and said, "This still needs to be guessed, it must be true." ”
"The 'Heaven and Earth Oven Method', that's the supreme foundation method." Someone sighed when he heard this.
"I heard that Ji Ning failed to rush to the level, and I thought that he would also be like us, and transfer to the best foundation laying method, but I never expected ......"
Not to mention how surprised the friends behind him were, after Ji Ning chased Ji Yang for a mile, suddenly, there was a sound of "swish" on both sides of the road, and then he saw the big trees on the side of the road waving their branches and pumping towards the people who broke into their territory.
"Hah!"
Ji Yang exhaled and spoke, his body changed color, the iron blue was mixed with bronze, and the gold and iron resonated between the bones and the bones.
He relied on the practice of external skills, rampage all the way, and forced his way through.
Ji Ning commented in his heart: "Physical cultivation is really just one word 'reckless'. ”
He stepped on Lingbo's slight steps, his figure was dashing, his posture was graceful, like a flying swallow, and he walked flexibly through the storm.
After moving away from the woods, the air suddenly became hot, and the earth turned into a scorched earth.
Ji Ning took a breath of hot air, and felt that all his internal organs seemed to be burning.
Persistence, persistence, and persistence......
Ji Ning's gaze locked on the figure in front of him, and he didn't dare to relax in his spirit.
Finally, this scorched earth has come to an end.
Ji Ning took one step and came to a field of ice and snow. The chill that seemed to freeze people's spirits made him feel unusually difficult every time he turned a thought.
"Ha, ha, ha......"
On the other side, Ji Yang put on a posture and practiced the simplest set of military physical boxing.
Ji Ning sat down cross-legged and began to refine the cold qi and chill that invaded his body.
On the top of the mountain, in front of a grass house, Ji Hongzhe, the head of the Ji family, stood with a young man with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, observing the situation on the mountain road through a water mirror.
Ji Hongzhe pointed to Ji Ning and Ji Yang in the ice and snow and said, "Yiming, these two children are doing well. ”
Ji Yiming asked, "This is Yifan and Yitao's child." ”
Ji Hongzhe nodded and said, "It's a pity, Yifan left too early." Yitao pursued the opportunity of Dancheng's top grade, but there was no news, and I don't know what the situation is now? ”
While the two were talking, Ji Ning and Ji Yang had already set off one after another and walked into the snowstorm.
