In the evening, Xu Lai went out, and Bunraku had already asked someone to bring some things over, and they were placed at the entrance.

Xu Lai took the things and came back, and the master and apprentice had a good meal.

After that, he spread a futon on the ground and put Zhao Xiaomin to sleep, he walked to the stone wall and groped for a while, pulled out a finger-thick hemp rope, pulled it to the other end to fix it, and set up a suspension rope in the air.

"Master, can you still sleep like this?" Zhao Xiaomin saw Xu Lai lying on the rope, and couldn't help but be so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth.

"yes, I'll teach you later." Xu said.

"Okay." Zhao Xiaomin was happy.

Two years ago, Xu Lai broke the blood contract of patrolling the Yin for the sealing of the Thousand Thousand Dao statues in the town, and he had been in retreat here for several months, so he was naturally quite accustomed to living.

Zhao Xiaomin was a little recognized, and he couldn't fall asleep at night, so he finally fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, when I suddenly heard some strange noise, I was awakened, and I looked through the light of some stars on the top, and saw that the mist in the pool was steaming, and the water seemed to be boiling, and there it was bubbling.

Curious, she got up and squatted on the edge of the pool, and reached out to probe the mist, but she didn't notice the heat, but there was a hint of coolness.

"I haven't slept in the middle of the night." Xu Lai's voice came from the darkness.

"Oh." The little girl spat out her red tongue and crawled back to lie down, but her eyes were wide open, and she wondered if there was anything strange about this pool.

In the next few days, Zhao Xiaomin was reciting this "Fetal Breath Sutra" repeatedly. Although this text is not very long, the knowledge involved in it is extremely complex and extensive.

Zhao Xiaomin is talented, but after all, he didn't have any foundation before, and the only knowledge of spells was pieced together from Zhang Yichun's half-clawed sound.

When Xu Lai talks about a term, he must explain the relevant knowledge behind the term, so that the entry is unpleasant.

That night, it was past midnight, Zhao Xiaomin was awakened by the sound of the churning water in the marrow washing pool, and secretly glanced at the direction of Xu Lai, and saw that he seemed to be asleep, so he secretly got up, squatted on the edge of the pool, and stared at the pool curiously.

"What are you doing in the middle of the night?" Xu Lai's voice came.

The little girl was startled, and was about to run back to sleep, when she heard him say, "Punish you for jumping into the pool." ”

"Oh." Zhao Xiaomin obediently agreed, took off his coat, left his underwear and shorts, warmed up by the pool, and then went down to the pool.

The water was still bubbling and bubbling, but it was not hot at all, but it was cooler than the usual water.

Zhao Xiaomin shivered slightly, floating in the water, waiting for the master to give the next instructions.

With her understanding of Xu Lai, it is naturally impossible to really punish her, there must be something.

Sure enough, I heard Xu Lai say: "Sink into the water, and then float up when you can't hold it back." ”

Zhao Xiaomin agreed, took a deep breath, and escaped underwater.

The pool is not too deep, about two meters, and the ground is made of fine sand and gravel, which is exceptionally clean.

It was not until her breath was completely exhausted that the little girl emerged from the water, panting rapidly.

"Take a break and try again, this time with the fetal breath method." Xu said.

Zhao Xiaomin let out an "oh", and when he gasped for breath, he sank his body again, concentrated on his thoughts, and slowly operated his breath according to the method of the fetal breath meridian.

Hovering in the water for a while, sinking to the bottom, sitting cross-legged, pranayama with eyes closed.

This time, however, it lasted much longer than the first time.

"Is it cold or not?" Xu Lai asked.

"It's not cold." Zhao Xiaomin said that it was actually a little cold, and her little face was a little white from the cold, but she denied it strongly.

"Then go ahead." Xu Lai's voice came from the darkness.

Zhao Xiaomin adjusted his breath and sank again.

This night, the little girl basically stayed in the pool, and it was not until the next morning that Xu Lai called her up.

As the sky brightened, the water in the pool also returned to calm, and it looked no different from ordinary pool water.

Zhao Xiaomin floated in the water for most of the night, and his lips turned white from freezing at first, but as he entered the water for a longer time, his complexion began to improve, and his spirit was much stronger.

Xu Lai asked her to change into clean clothes, went outside to pick up the supplies sent by Wenle, and made a hot breakfast.

"Master, this spell is amazing." Zhao Xiaomin said happily while drinking hot porridge.

"This is the heart method, and I will teach you the spell when you learn it well." Xu said.

"Okay." The little girl nodded obediently.

In the next few days, every night when the water in the pool was soaring, Zhao Xiaomin was called up and entered the water to breathe.

The Fetal Breath Sutra has been passed down for the funeral family to refine the qi heart method, and it has only been passed on to the sect master or the designated heir of the sect master for generations, so even Tang Tang has not learned it.

In order to wash the marrow for Zhao Xiaomin, Xu Lai temporarily passed on the basic chapter of the Fetal Breath Sutra to her for the purpose of refining qi and regulating pranayama.

The little girl's entry was quite fast, and as she cultivated for a long time, she spent more and more time in the water.

However, Qi refining is a practice that has accumulated over time, and Zhao Xiaomin has only made a good start at this time, and there is still 108,000 miles away from the true Qi formation.

The main purpose of Xu Lai bringing her here was to use the fetal breath meridian with this marrow washing pool to repair the damaged vitality on her body.

That night, not long after Zhao Xiaomin sank into the water, he suddenly emerged from the water.

"What's wrong?" Xu Lai turned over from the rope, and there must be a reason for the apprentice to be like this.

"Master, this water seems to be a little strange." Zhao Xiaomin said in the water.

Xu Lai pulled her up, reached out into the water, and asked her to go back and change her clothes first.

When Zhao Xiaomin came out after changing into clean clothes, he saw Xu Lai squatting by the pool thoughtfully.

"Master, is there anything strange in this water?" The little girl asked softly.

"yes, something went wrong." Xu said something, but he didn't study it in detail, so he asked her to go back to sleep quickly, and he also turned over the rope and continued to sleep.

Early the next morning, Xu Lai asked his apprentice to continue practicing by the marrow washing pool, and he walked out of the forbidden place and walked in the direction of Shangqing Palace.

When he first arrived at the Immortal Palace, he saw Da Zhuang and Mu Er rushing past in a hurry, so he stopped them.

"How did you get here?" The two were pleasantly surprised.

"What's wrong, so anxious?" Xu Lai asked with a smile.

Speaking of this, Mu Er's face was not very good, saying that just now, the Dao statues enshrined in the halls of Longhu Mountain shook together.

"How serious?" Xu Lai frowned and asked.

The Taoist statues enshrined in the halls of Longhu Mountain are more special, in addition to being used for incense and worship, it is also a kind of magic weapon refined by special techniques, which is distributed in the various Taoist palaces and shrines of Longhu Mountain, and is used to monitor the situation of the entire Longhu Mountain.

At this time, all the Dao statues vibrated in unison, which meant that there was a big problem in Longhu Mountain.

"Luckily, there were no cracks." Mu Er said with palpitations.

If the Dao image has cracked, it means that the situation has deteriorated to the point that the Dao cannot be further increased, and many years ago, Longhu Mountain experienced that time.

In that catastrophe, most of the Dao Palace and Dao Courtyard in Longhu Mountain were destroyed, and the Heavenly Master's Mansion almost collapsed.

"Where is Lao Zhang now?" Xu Lai asked.

"It should be in the Shangqing Palace, and we are summoning our disciples over!" Mu Er said. Anyway, the old Zhang in Xu Lai's mouth, there is no one else except Zhang Long.

"I'm going to meet Lao Zhang." Xu said, heading in the direction of the Shangqing Palace.

Mu Er and Da Zhuang hurriedly followed.

Along the way, there were also disciples of the Heavenly Master's Mansion who were rushing over, and a few of them were bold enough to follow Xu Lai and them directly.

"Dean Xu, why are you here?" At the door, he bumped into Elder Kong Xuan, who looked anxious.

"I heard something happened, I'll take a look." Xu said.

"This ...... Not quite right? Kong Xuan said embarrassedly.

"It's okay, I'll just sit in and listen." As Xu spoke, he swaggered into the door, and when Mu Er and the others saw this, they also followed in.

Although Kong Xuan wanted to stop him, after the incident last time, he was very afraid of Xu Lai, for fear that he would be grabbed by some pigtail and dragged by him, so he didn't dare to step forward to stop him, so he had to watch him enter the Shangqing Palace.
