Chapter 3: Practice
Walking into the main hall, although Jing Jue was excited, he was still cautious, the old madman said before that most of the exercises in this are only practiced by inner disciples, but he is still an outer disciple, and he can't cultivate, if he cultivates without authorization, he is violating the rules of the sect, and he will be punished.
I don't know if the old madman was sober when he said this, but Jing Jue always remembered it in his heart and didn't dare to cross it.
But which ones can only be cultivated by inner disciples? How can we tell the difference? Quite simply, the inner disciples are all carved with jade slips, while most of the others are bookrolls.
After walking around, Jing Jue found that there were only three exercises bound in bookrolls, and the rest were all jade slips.
I don't have to choose, I don't have to think about it to know that these are the three books that the old madman specially left for him.
"Old thing, why don't you give it to me directly?" Jing Jue muttered, directly picked up the three books together, put them directly into his arms, turned around and ran, for fear that the old madman would break free and beat him.
Out of the main hall, Jing Jue breathed a long sigh of relief, and entered the main hall openly to get the exercises, but he was like a thief, and he could see how much he had suffered in order to get the exercises over the years.
As if he was a little overexcited, his eyes were moist, and he held the three exercises in his arms tightly and walked towards his residence.
"Wait!" As he walked back, he suddenly scratched his ears and cheeks, frowning, "Did you forget something?"
After a moment, he gave up thinking and smiled calmly: "Oh, it doesn't matter, what could be more important than going back and studying the exercises well?"
On the other side, the old madman was still tied to the old crooked neck tree, and was muttering at this time: "Did this little beast forget Lao Tzu?"
As he spoke, the more he thought about it, the more wrong he became, and he began to shout loudly.
However, this Jing Jue's residence must be two or three miles away from this old crooked neck tree, not to mention that he shouted, even if he was fighting with people here, he couldn't make a big battle, and it was difficult to attract Jing Jue's attention.
Jing Juepan sat on the pu mat and spread the three exercises in his hand in front of him, the first book is a book of qi practice, saying how clever it is, it is impossible, it is an improved version of the basic qi practice, Jing Jue can also understand it after reading it a few times, it is nothing more than how to pay attention to it when spitting and refining the pill, and how to go through the meridians.
The second book is a self-law, called Cloud Shadow Step, which is well written at the beginning: it is difficult to catch the shadow of the lotus under the feet, and the body can pick the clouds by the breeze.
Jing Jue looked at it about once, silently comprehended the true meaning of it, and after a long time, he slowly raised his head, with a smile on his face: "If I run away in the future, this Ge Yun still wants to catch me?"
Different from the previous two books, this third book of Hundred Tribulations Bronze Demon Skill, Jing Jue read it for a long time, and he couldn't figure it out, and all kinds of obscure formulas and meridian methods were a little difficult to understand.
For example, there is a sentence in this: Stimulate the outer body by the Jedi or the catastrophe, from the outside to the inside, follow the direction of the meridians and flow into the viscera, and then wash the essence and cut the marrow, and reverse the exercises, starting from the viscera, conforming to the meridians, spreading throughout the body, and warming the outer body from the internal organs. The previous paragraph can be understood, but the latter paragraph is completely against the sky and contrary to common sense.
In the first lesson of the first day of entering the Dao Hall, the elder emphasized that cultivation is in accordance with the will of Heaven, and one must not perform perverse techniques. Some people don't listen, they are curious, they have to go retrograde through the meridians, and some of them are seriously injured for a few months, and the serious ones are disabled, and they never enter the ranks of monks again.
This is not difficult, this Hundred Tribulations Bronze Demon Skill is divided into three stages, namely the Three Tribulation Body, the Ten Tribulation Body, and the Hundred Tribulation Body. In fact, judging from the name alone, it is actually very easy to understand, it is nothing more than a tribulation, but when he sees the back, it is more and more terrifying every time, don't say that the Sanyang True Fire Tribulation, Liuhe Cold Water Tribulation, and the Nine Heavens God Thunder Tribulation in the back are enough, just the three tribulations in front, the ordinary water, fire and thunder tribulation are enough to make him cold.
As the saying goes, deceive the mountains and do not deceive the water, deceive the water and do not play with fire, and play with fire and do not touch thunder; these are all the painful lessons left by the sages of the older generation, all of them are born and grown spiritual creatures, conform to the trend of heaven, act reasonably, and it is okay, but to deceive them to cross the catastrophe, is this not a joke?
Seeing this, Jing Jue already understood that this was a book of alchemy, but it was too difficult, and how to get started?
Thinking of this, Jing Jue suddenly remembered if he could ask the old madman for advice, after all, these were all left to him by the old guy.
"Hey, I'll just say I forgot something. ”
Just as he was about to look for the old madman, he remembered that the old madman was still tied to the old crooked neck tree, patted his head, and hurriedly ran in the direction of the old crooked neck tree with an embarrassed face.
But before he went out, he felt that his body suddenly kept calling, and with a few sighs, his feet seemed to be lifted violently, Jing Jue's heart was shocked, and he didn't know what was going on, and then an evil laugh came, and he understood everything.
"Hey, old thing, what are you doing, let me down!" Jing Jue roared as he struggled.
At this time, he was hanging on the hanging beam with his head to the ground and his feet to the sky, but his eyes could still see that a pair of tattered straw sandals gradually appeared in front of him, and the dirty feet exuded a foul smell.
You don't have to think about it to know that it's an old madman!
The old madman kicked Jing Jue's buttocks, causing Jing Jue to scream 'ouch': "Dog, what are you asking me for, you tied Lao Tzu outside without leaving any air holes, and you didn't come to untie Lao Tzu after taking the exercises, do you want to suffocate Lao Tzu to death?"
When Jing Jue heard this, it was indeed a bit unkind to do this, an embarrassed look appeared on his face, and he hurriedly said: "Oh, you are so old, what do you care about these things, you have to be generous, do you understand? ”
"You've taught me a lesson!" the old madman said, and kicked Jing Jue again, a little more ruthlessly than before, making Jing Jue scream.
"Don't kick it! Don't kick it!" Jing Jue begged for mercy for a while, and the uncomfortable voice was not pretended, and said: "I apologize to you, you put me down first, if you have anything to say, let's say it well." ”
"Hmph, let you down, no way!" The old madman snorted coldly, turned around and was about to leave, and said coldly: "Don't you have a bad memory? ”
Jing Jue looked at this posture, this old guy didn't plan to put him down now, if it was normal, Jing Jue would definitely scold him first to relieve his anger.
But today, Jing was not like this, but called the old madman in a low voice, and asked for some problems in the exercises.
The old madman can be regarded as saving face, and he listened to it seriously, but after listening to it, he said mockingly: "You have basically said goodbye to cultivation as a waste, and the path of cultivation is to go against the sky, what do you tell me to conform to the will of heaven?"
said that he left without looking back, and let Jing Jue abuse behind him, but he was indifferent.
A few days later, the old madman released Jing Jue, perhaps because he was afraid that he would starve this kid to death, after all, he had not yet cultivated to the sixth level of Qi cultivation, and he had not yet opened the valley, and he needed to eat to maintain his energy.
After a lot of wine and meat, I washed my whole body clean, and rushed to the square in a hurry.
After a few days of hanging beams, Jing Jue still had some understanding, and he wanted to turn his perception into action, and immediately ran on the square over and over again, and the speed became faster and faster.
Gradually, he integrated the cloud shadow step into the pace, at first it was still a little jerky, and the speed could not go up, but after a period of practice, he gradually became familiar with the road.
I have to say that Jing Jue's talent is still okay, just one afternoon of practice, and he actually practiced a gust of wind.
"There's something about this kid!" the old madman stared at all this from a tall building not far away, brushing his beard, and a flash of appreciation flashed in his eyes.
Day 2 & Day 3...... Jiang Feng was still practicing like this, and until the fifteenth day, Jing Jue had made a leap of progress, and he actually practiced the afterimage.
Maybe it's because I've been bullied a lot on weekdays, and I always want to run for my life first, and I have a lot of experience in practicing this cloud shadow step, and the reason why I work so hard.
But in the eyes of the old madman, this actually shocked him, and he muttered in disbelief: "Is he ......?"
However, there was still a hint of uncertainty at the end of the voice, but it was enough to make him excited, at least this kid had a certain talent in the field of body art.
Compared to the body method, the cultivation of the body alchemy technique can be said to have not improved at all, and even said that it has not grasped the gist of it at all.
According to Jing Jue's idea, the first three tribulations, water, fire, thunder, water, and peaks, mountain springs and streams are everywhere, and he runs around every day, meditating in the cold mountain springs, and receiving bombardment under the streams and waterfalls.
This was the limit of what he could bear at the moment, but he still didn't feel the catastrophe coming.
In the end, he had to give up and practice in another way? What about Lei? He didn't dare to touch it, and he didn't have the courage to give it a try for the time being.
Then you can only be on fire, and it is obviously unrealistic to go to the fire to barbecue yourself, like Jing Jue's current state, it is obviously not difficult to get along with himself.
So what should I do if I bask in the sun first?
It's better to act than to move, everyone knows how poisonous summer is, but this is actually insignificant for a monk with aura protection, but in order to practice a catastrophe as soon as possible, Jing Jue deliberately withdrew the aura protection and exposed his body to the sun alone.
But just a few days, the old madman appeared in front of Jing Jue and asked him what he was doing?
"Crossing the Fire Tribulation!" Jing Jue said very firmly, his eyes full of determination.
The old madman suddenly laughed, and looked at the sky with a sarcastic look: "If Mozang sees you practicing his exercises like this, it is estimated that he will be able to give him a good job." ”
After coming to the Peerless Peak for so many years, Jing Jue heard the old madman mention outsiders for the first time, and asked curiously, "Who is the Demon Treasure?"
"It's your business!" The old madman replied coldly, and then stretched out his hand in front of Jing Jue: "Give me back that Hundred Tribulations Bronze Demon Skill, you can't practice it if you don't have a brain, and if you practice it, it's in vain." ”
Seeing this, Jing Jue's eyes were frightened, and he hurriedly covered his chest, protected the exercise booklet that he was carrying into his arms, and said dissatisfiedly: "How can you take back the exercises that were sent out?"
After hesitating for a moment, Jing Jue said again: "How to practice, you tell me, it's impossible to pay it back, unless... Unless..."
"Unless what?" the old madman glanced at Jing Jue with a playful expression.
"Unless I'm dead!" Jing Jue's eyes exuded that rare resolute gaze.
"Hehe... Do you know that practicing this exercise is more uncomfortable than death, and that is called life is worse than death, do you still want it?" the old madman smiled faintly.
"Yes!" Jing Jue was still determined, and said word by word: "Cultivation is not a smooth road!"
