Chapter 20: Not a Dream
Ying Xiang has been practicing since he was six years old, and in the past, he broke through the first level in two years, but now he has broken through in half a year, and this speed is indeed a bit abnormal.
What the patriarch Liang Changying didn't know was that Ying Xiang actually showed signs of breakthrough in each layer of realm cultivation for more than half a year, but Ying Xiang kept in mind the patriarch's teachings that if he wanted to hurry, he couldn't reach it, and constantly suppressed the true qi in his body.
At the beginning, the meridians were swollen and painful, often making Ying Xiang unable to sleep all night, Ying Xiang gritted his teeth and endured it, and then Ying Xiang's endurance increased and he didn't feel any discomfort, and the meridians in his body were also invisibly enlarged by the true qi.
Although the expansion of each meridian is extremely small, each level of the Yingxiang realm is constantly expanding, and the wide meridians make the speed of the true qi run much faster than that of people in the same realm.
In fact, Ying Xiang can break through in more than half a year and there will be no problem of unstable realm, his talent is much higher than that of his clansmen. But Ying Xiang didn't know his own situation, thinking that the clansmen were going to constantly suppress the true qi in their bodies like this, and they would not break through until they couldn't suppress it.
At each level of the realm, Ying Xiang compresses and compresses the true qi in his body, and when he breaks through, the amount of true qi in Ying Xiang's body is four or five times higher than that of a normal person, and Ying Xiang simply wants to maintain the same cultivation progress as his clansmen.
In this way, Yingxiang's foundation is stronger than anyone in the clan, and even few people in the entire world can compare with it. Great Power has already evaluated the Qi Cultivation Realm, defining this realm as not making much sense, and no one wants to waste their energy and time on it.
The golden and jade words of the great powers are indeed very convincing, but the Liang people in remote areas do not know that they have almost lost touch with the big world for hundreds of years.
There was not even a low-level Immortal Treasure Technique in the entire Liang Clan, and even the highest cultivator in the clan in this large area was the Gray Rank Realm. All the cultivation experience of the Liang people has been obtained through their own practice from generation to generation, and no one in the clan has ever broken through the Yellow Rank in the past hundred years, let alone a higher level.
Therefore, the people of Liangcun did not know the assertions of the great powers, nor did they know the higher and deeper exercises, but only combined their own experience and some materials in ancient books to teach the younger generations to practice.
According to the experience of the Liangcun people who have practiced for generations, the foundation is naturally as solid as possible, and they are the same way to behave and do things, step by step, and down-to-earth.
In this case, the foundation of Eagle Xiang in the Qi training stage was extremely strong. While this may not be useful according to the assertions of the Almighty, it is at least harmless.
As for Liang Changying's worry that Yingxiang's cultivation realm is improving too quickly, there is no need to worry at all, the instability of the cultivator's realm hinders his later development because the state of mind is lower than the realm, which is like letting a child dance a hundred and ten catties of sledgehammer, not only can not exert the power of the sledgehammer, but will accidentally injure himself.
Ying Xiang has gone through great hardships and dangers to destroy the demons in his heart, his own mind is extremely firm and has improved a lot, almost equivalent to a gray-level powerhouse, and his cultivation realm has been improved by one level, so he doesn't have to worry about the instability of the Dao foundation at all.
Seeing that everything was normal with Ying Xiang, Liang Changying relieved his heart, he carefully instructed Ying Xiang not to practice too violently, but to go step by step, and let Ying Xiang have time to go to the second elder, and let the second elder prescribe some medicine to strengthen the muscles and bones and stabilize the foundation.
The wind was still blowing, and Ying Xiang lay on the trunk of the tree and looked at the starry sky, remembering the words of the patriarch grandfather just now, he smiled.
He stretched out his right hand and gently poked into his arms to grope, and a jade pendant appeared in Ying Xiang's hand, and a bright red rope was strung on the jade pendant and hung around Ying Xiang's neck.
The jade pendant is not known to be made of what material, it is light purple, the style on the thin oval jade pendant is very simple, there is no pattern, and I don't know what kind of magical technique is used to engrave the word "eagle" of a dragon flying and phoenix dancing in the interior of the jade pendant.
Ying Xiang held this jade pendant in his hand, felt the slight coolness of the jade pendant touching his skin, closed his eyes and slowly sank into sleep.
............
I don't know how far away, in a luxurious and splendid palace, a woman in white suddenly sat up from the brocade, her face was especially tear-stained, as if she had just woken up from a nightmare.
The woman in white is beautiful, and her eyes have a deep wisdom light, but at this moment, her eyes that were originally full of vigor reveal a deep sadness in her bones.
"What's wrong?" a deep male voice came from beside her, and a man in black rolled over and sat up, looking at her with concern. This man is thirty or forty years old, tall, with a Chinese face, thick eyebrows, and deep green eyes.
"I ...... I dreamed of him, and he was alive! My poor boy, he was really alive!" Tears suddenly welled up in the eyes of the woman in white.
The man in black reached out and touched the woman's forehead, his hands were covered with sweat, and said, "You have always been restless recently, and now you have nightmares, let the divine doctor from the Medicine King Valley take a look tomorrow and prescribe you some soothing tea." ”
"No!" The woman in white was a little anxious, and said seriously: "I really see him, our child, he is still alive, he is really alive, he has grown very tall, and he is almost in my eyes." ”
The man in black stretched out his rough hand and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of his wife's eyes, and said softly: "Yu'er, you are really tired, take a good rest." ”
The woman in white wept and muttered, "He hates me, he says he won't forgive me, that I don't deserve to be a mother." ”
The man in black stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around his wife's shoulders, looked at his wife's eyes with deep and green eyes, and said, "Yu'er, this is just a dream, you don't have to take it seriously." ”
The woman in white shook her head and said, "I know it's him, and you also know that my spiritual sense is very sensitive, and it is indeed our child's breath, and it can't be wrong." ”
The man in black was silent, and the scenes of that year came to mind, so that he really didn't know what to say to comfort his wife.
Over the years, I don't know how many times he has sent a large number of people to look for him, but each time he has returned in vain, he has completely lost all hope for this, but his wife has always been obsessed.
The woman in white reached out and took out a colorful bag from her bosom and said, "Have you forgotten this?"
The woman in white gently opened the bag and took out a strand of hair tied from the red silk thread, the hair was only a small bunch, slender and soft.
The woman in white said: "Back then, the old man Tianji asked us to collect the child's fetal hair, and carved a magical formation on the bag, he said that the bag is always worn on the body, if the child is still alive, there may be a sense. I think I should have sensed his breath today. ”
The man in black took his hair and looked at it carefully, and sighed lightly: "In that case, I will send a few more teams of men and horses to look around there tomorrow." ”
The woman in white said in a trembling voice: "No...... I came into contact with the child's will, who had a deep hatred for me and did not want to see me again. But if I don't go to him, I won't have peace of mind in my life, and I want to make amends for him. ”
The man in black said: "The child has been away from us for so long and has not been taken care of by us, and it is inevitable that there will be some resentment in my heart, so it will be good to compensate him after finding him." Moreover...... There has been no news for so many years, and it may not be so smooth to find. ”
The woman in white sighed gloomily, she stared blankly at the bright moon and the starry sky outside the window, thinking about her blood relatives who didn't know how far apart.
She made a decision suddenly, her beautiful face in the moonlight was like water, but her emerald green eyes burned with determination like fire.
She whispered: "From this day forward, I will pray for him every morning and dusk, praying that Heaven will bless him with peace and joy, and that all the calamities and pains he will face and all the consequences of his sins and karma will be inflicted on me." ”
The man in black didn't say anything more, he knew his wife's character very well, although his wife was weak on the outside, she was very stubborn and strong on the inside, and no one could change the decisions she made.
"If it wasn't for ...... , hey, it's all my fault!" the man in black looked at his wife's haggard face, and a trace of remorse flashed in his heart.
The woman in white regained her former glow in her eyes, and she gently put the bundle of hair back into the bag and put it away closely, only then did she feel as if her child was still by her side and could sleep peacefully.
............
The white belly of the fish appeared in the sky, and a large rooster with a bright red comb appeared on a thick tree at the top of Tianyao Peak, and the big rooster crowed at the top of his throat.
Ying Xiang opened his eyes, stretched a big slumber, and slipped down from the tree with his might. In the early morning, Tianyao Peak was still shrouded in a slightly cool mist, and everything looked like a dream.
It felt really good to be full of strength, and Ying Xiang was overjoyed when he felt the power of the fourth layer of Qi training. The air in the early morning was very refreshing, and Ying Xiang pulled out the posture and played a simple set of punches.
After a set of punches, Ying Xiang felt that his muscles and bones were relaxed, and he was refreshed, and he took a yellow gourd to the Yinyue Lake to draw water. A lot of sweat will flow from morning exercise every day, and you need to replenish water in time.
Yinyue Lake is a small lake naturally formed on Tianyao Peak, with clear and sweet water quality, and is the preferred water source for the patriarch's grandfather to make wine.
Ying Xiang picked up a handful of water and splashed it on his face, and suddenly felt a lot more sober, and hit a gourd of lake water.
There are fish swimming around in the lake, this is a group of small fish covered in small silver scales, this kind of fish is only found in the silver moon lake, and the largest is not as long as a thumb, so even if the eagle people love to eat fish, the people are not interested in them.
Ying Xiang gently played with the small whitebait with his hand, but he thought about when to taste this fish, as if no one had ever caught this kind of fish to eat, and Ying Xiang was very curious about their taste.
Even if you catch a thousand and eight hundred small fish like this, it is not enough to eat one meal, and the most commonly used fishing method of the Eagle Clan is the one that Liang Yue used yesterday, and there is really nothing that can be done about this small fish.
But Ying Xiang has a way, he can use his true qi to form a net, and when the fish pass by, he will catch a lot of them.
