39. Enter the Red Realm
After receiving the board, everyone went to Ling Feng to ask for meditation experience. The next day, he barely passed, but he didn't get Elder Sun's approval.
On Wednesday morning, Elder Zhou was waiting for the disciples in the Buquan Pavilion.
After the people came, Zhou Buquan introduced Yuanda, Dugushan, Ling'er, and Zhen Qing to the other disciples, and announced their generations.
Yuanda ranked thirteenth, Dugushan ranked fourteenth, Zhen Qinger ranked fifteenth, and Ling'er ranked sixteenth.
The boys were full of joy when they saw Zhen Qing'er and Ling'er's skin as white as snow, bright eyes and bright teeth. Seeing that Dugu was thin and thin, he looked sick, but he didn't give him a good color.
Yuan Da's five big and three thick black faces were not even more in the eyes of the disciples.
After the introduction, Zhou Buquan asked the other disciples to retreat, leaving Dugushan and the four of them.
Zhou Buquan asked them to step back from their stools and sit on the mat next to them to meditate.
After a little past, Zhou Buquan probed into their sea of qi. The sea of qi refers to the place where they hide their qi.
Yuanda and Dugushan have all opened up their pulses, but the qi is too turbid and the sea is too shallow. Zhen Qing'er and Ling'er's meridians were not connected, and the sea of qi was even shallower.
Zhou Buquan asked them to open their eyes and invited them to walk to the desk. Zhou Buquan took out several copies of the illustrated book "Peiyuan Sutra" from under the desk, and said to them: "Although you have the red fire and are close to the red realm, but what you have is either too shallow in the sea of qi or the meridians are blocked, so the red realm is extremely unstable.
In the past six months, in addition to continuing to practice Qi Technique, deepening the Qi Sea, and opening up the meridians, girls also have to practice the Illustrated Book with peace of mind and cultivate vitality like boys. One day, if you can play with your vitality in the applause, you will truly enter the red realm. ”
After Zhou Buquan finished speaking, everyone led the illustrated book to disperse.
After practicing for more than half a month, Zhen Qing'er's body began to be unbearable and often vomited blood. The master said that this is normal, Zhen Qing'er opened the meridians in advance, and the turbid blood qi in her body found an outlet and rushed out.
After a few days, there were not many five-flavor medicines in the Pavilion, so Ling'er asked her to rest and prepare to go to the back mountain to pick alone. Zhen Qing'er was worried about her safety and didn't allow it. Ling'er couldn't do without Zhen Qing'er, so she agreed to collect soil medicine together.
As he was about to descend the mountain, a small squirrel sprang out of the grass.
"Zizi, Zizi......" The little squirrel shouted, looking, biting Zhen Qing'er's trouser legs.
"Ling'er, the squirrel wants to take me to a place, let's follow it. After Zhen Qing'er finished speaking, Ling'er nodded.
The squirrel bounced and led them to a hole that was covered with rattan and cobwebs.
The little squirrel bit Zhen Qing'er's trouser leg vigorously, and Zhen Qing'er said, "Ling'er, let's go into the cave and have a look!"
"Could it be dangerous?" Ling'er worried, even though she knew that Zhen Qing'er had a special ability to communicate with animals.
Zhen Qing'er shook her head, smiled and pulled Ling'er into the cave. This cave is very spacious, and it used to be the cultivation room of a certain high-ranking person, but now it is the home of a squirrel.
The squirrels squawked a few times, and one by one the squirrels emerged from the small caves in the four walls and surrounded them.
"Zhen Qing'er, what does this mean?" Ling'er asked.
"They should have been looking for me for a long time, but due to the ban of the Five Divine Temple, they can only wait for me in the back mountain. Ling'er said.
Suddenly, each of the little squirrels lay on their stomachs, their buttocks thrust forward, and a bead jumped into their mouths. The little squirrel opened its mouth, and the beads were as bright as day, illuminating the dim cave.
"I've seen this bead in the Spirit Cave!" Ling'er said in surprise, "This bead is very similar to the lampstone on the wall of the Spirit Cave. ”
"This should be called Luminous Fruit, it looks like a stone, and it is indeed the essence in the spirit beast's body!" Zhen Qing'er guessed.
"Are they going to offer us the spirit fruit?" Ling'er said.
"These squirrels are not ordinary squirrels, they are spirit rats, maybe they received some kind of order to do so!" Ling'er guessed.
"Who could it be?" Ling'er thought for thought.
"Do you think it's possible for Ling Lao?" Ling'er said.
"Perhaps, it has been hoping that I will find the king who has been lured by the incense to save them. Zhen Qing'er said, "So let the squirrels donate the essence in their bodies to help me recover." ”
"The spirit beast actually has the ability to reach the sky, knowing that our cultivation has encountered obstacles?" Ling'er said in surprise.
"Spirit beasts are psychic, leading small creatures. All small beings can be their liaison, and a mortal, even a small squirrel, can sense the breath of different people. Zhen Qing'er said.
"Oh, I seem to get it. Elder Ling has always sent small creatures to follow you, and if anything is unusual, notify it in time. Ling'er said.
"Therefore, the spirit elder gave an order for them to donate their essence to help me recover my body, and I must accept its gift, otherwise the little squirrel violates the beast order, and the whole family will suffer. Zhen Qing'er said, holding the squirrel that bit her trouser leg and left the cave.
The squirrel spit out a fruit, Zhen Qing'er took it, bit it open, and gave half of it to Ling'er.
Since then, this little squirrel has lost any spiritual power, and it is no different from an ordinary squirrel, and Ling'er is responsible for taking care of it.
In this way, the two of them also have an extra companion.
