Chapter 11: Painful Cultivation
On the second day, Bu Zheng slept until noon and woke up, last night's refining fire grapes tortured him too badly, and his body was in urgent need of rest. Nanfeng didn't call him, but waited for him to wake up on his own, because there was still a harsh training waiting for him today.
As soon as Bu Zheng opened his eyes, he saw that his face was still swollen like a pig's head, but the black ash on his face was washed away by the lake water, revealing wheat-yellow skin. Bu Zheng found that his body had become swollen and returned to normal, thinking that he should have refined the fire grapes, so the snake venom did not penetrate too deeply. He ate something and followed Nanfeng towards the place where he cultivated. On the way, the two talked while walking.
"What realm are you in now?"
Bu Zheng replied: "The second stage of Qi Mansion condensation, it is about to reach the third stage. ”
The human body has secret realms, and Qifu is one of them, which is the channel between the inner world and the outer heaven and earth. The first realm that a cultivator encounters when embarking on the path of cultivation is the Qi Mansion Realm, which is divided into three stages: opening, condensing Qi, and channeling. Kaifu, as the name suggests, is to open the closed entrance of the qifu, so that the qifu can communicate with the outside world and the world, and inhale the free aura between the heaven and the earth for its own use. Qi condensation is to run the aura inhaled by the qi through the qi veins, remove its miscellaneous, store its essence, and condense it into its own true qi.
The exercises are different, the physique is different, and the true qi condensed is pure, and the strength is different.
Nanfeng said again: "Lieyang Gongshu is not an ordinary martial arts, when the battle with the Demon Realm was fought with the Demon Clan, the Lieyang Clan used the strength of one clan to regret that tens of thousands of demon soldiers in the Demon Clan's one realm would not fall behind, and the first strong man of the Lieyang Clan at that time, Yang Zun, was the three strongest demon generals in the Demon Realm alone, and the Lieyang Gongshu played a role that could not be underestimated in this brilliant record.
The process of cultivating this kind of strong body is bound to be extremely difficult, and you had better be mentally prepared. ”
On the way, Nanfeng Duan handed over the secret cultivation method of the Lieyang Gong Body that he had found in the treasure house of the Lieyang Clan's book collection to Bu Zheng, who carefully studied it and recited it silently until he remembered all the contents, and the two came to a steaming pool.
The pond is very large, with a maximum distance of 100 meters from the two ends, and the water vapor on the surface of the water is steaming, like a fairyland. Scattered around the pond are the statues of the four-headed beasts, carved so lifelike that even the hair on their bodies is visible, like living creatures.
"The molten pool, if you want to train into a fierce body, you must be tempered here. Fire grapes can change your physique, and the molten pool can make you completely reborn. Take your clothes off. ”
Bu Zheng squatted on the surface of the pool, his fingers clicked slightly on the surface of the water and immediately retracted, the hot water scalded his fingertips red, and he couldn't help but gasp. If this goes down naked, it won't be burned off!
Bu Zheng pursed his lips, showed an innocent smile at Nanfeng and said, "Hehe! ”
Nanfeng ignored it and kicked him into the water.
Bu Zheng was like a duck that had fallen into boiling water, his hands and feet fluttered on the surface of the water, screaming loudly. The south wind opened the ban on the four-headed Fox Divine Beast, and a golden liquid flowed out of the Fox's gaping mouth and poured into the pool. Judging from the scorching temperature emitted by the liquid, Bu Zheng concluded that it should be magma!
Not daring to be careless, Bu Zheng endured the pain in his body, and according to the records in the secret method of Lie Yang Gong, he let the true qi flow in the meridians.
"A little heart is too empty, and the body is like a scorching sun. ....... "As the magma flowed in, the temperature in the pool suddenly rose to an unbearable height, and he silently recited the law in his mouth, and his skin made a sound of black smoke, as if he was roasted on a fire.
The smell of barbecue made Nanfeng rub his nose and mutter, "It's so fragrant!"
"Ah!!h This feeling of burning every inch of his body made him almost collapse in pain. He wanted to escape from this magic pool, but as soon as he wanted to swim to the shore, a reluctant emotion made him stop moving.
Am I going to be a deserter? Am I going to be a deserter? Is my Bu Zheng so unbearable? Bu Zheng asked himself repeatedly in his heart, he wanted to hold on a little longer, hold on a little longer, even if it was only for a moment, he didn't want to give up.
The expression on Bu Zheng's face became extremely hideous because of the pain, and his facial features seemed to be twisted together, and he couldn't distinguish his nose and eyes. He let go of his voice and roared, loud enough to startle the birds in the woods in the distance. "Come on, it's comfortable, it's comfortable!"
"Hey, good boy, that's tough. Nanfeng looked at Bu Zheng in surprise, the skin on his body had long been burned and disappeared, revealing a blur of flesh and blood in his muscles and blood vessels. Nanfeng silently praised Bu Zheng in the bottom of his heart, this kind of pain of peeling skin and bones is unbearable for people with great perseverance.
"Is it only to such an extent? It's not enough to see at all, come again!" Bu Zheng felt that his eyes, nose and ears were on fire, his throat was already hot, and he roared desperately just to give himself a strong courage. This means that he has refined the fire grapes, so he can persist in cultivating in the molten pool, and ordinary people have already turned into ashes.
Although the south wind understood, it would still increase the amount of molten slurry in the mouth of the Foxy Divine Beast. Because he knew that cultivating the Lieyang Gong Body could only be achieved once, and Bu Zheng had no second chance, either he would succeed in practicing the peerless Gong Body, or he would fail to return to Jiuquan. It turned out to be just a curtain of molten lava pouring like a curtain of water, which was amplified by the south wind to gushing like a waterfall. The four-headed beast spewed molten slurry from its mouth and poured it on Bu Zheng's head.
Bu Zheng didn't have a chance to wail, and he was submerged under the water.
Nanfeng looked at the water with a calm face, but his trembling pupils could not hide his nervousness at the moment. It's not just because Bu Zheng is practiced or not, it's about whether he can leave the forbidden place sealed by the Lieyang clan. It was also because of the tenacity and perseverance shown by Bu Zheng that shocked his heart. Can he hold on to himself? Regardless of whether Bu Zheng can practice or not, he hopes that he can survive.
Time passed minute by minute, Bu Zheng sank under the molten slurry and there was no movement. Nanfeng's heart was like fire, and he kept going around the pool, hoping to find Bu Zheng's traces, but unfortunately he found nothing.
"It's okay, it's okay, it's going to be okay, the kid will definitely be able to bear it after eating the fire grapes. Nanfeng kept chattering in his mouth, comforting himself, it was obvious that Bu Zheng was suffering, but it felt like he was being burned.
And under the molten lava, Bu Zheng's body and soul were all suffering from painful torture, and his flesh and blood were burned, and he couldn't shout. He felt not only the pain of every cell being burned, but also the intense pain of his body being peeled off inch by inch, and even the bones were shattered piece by piece, like Ling Chi.
The painful time was very long, Bu Zheng didn't know how long it was, he felt that he was about to be unable to hold on, and the little spiritual sense that his mind was holding on to began to slowly blur.
"I finally can't hold on anymore? It's so painful! I want to go to sleep. This was Bu Zheng's last thought when he was conscious, and then the world went dark.
The days changed and the stars shifted, and three days passed in a blink of an eye. South Wind's swollen and red eyes, which had not slept for three days, finally appeared something like scorched wood, which no longer had a human form, and was black like a charred corpse.
"Bu Zheng! Bu Zheng ......" Nanfeng stood by the pool and yelled at the top of his voice, his face was extremely ugly, if Bu Zheng was completely unconscious, then he would only be burned to death.
"Subtle vacuum, Shenxiao Zhao Gong. Drive thunder and electricity, and go off the fire. What a god does not subdue. What the hell dare to rush. The tiger barked, and all the ghosts disappeared. I am calling today, and I will get out of the palace quickly. ”
The anxious south wind was exhausted, ignoring the disorder of the qi in his body, forcibly used the thunder method, and after reciting a spell, a thunderbolt in his palm made a thunderous sound, hitting Bu Zheng's charred body like an electric snake.
This blow was not an attack, but to inject lightning into Bu Zheng's body, stimulating his soul and activating his flesh and blood. Thunder struck, and the south wind spurted out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground. The true qi disorder in his body has not recovered, and at this time, the strong luck spell has been counterattacked.
And Bu Zheng, who had absorbed the power of thunder and lightning, his heart, which was originally faint and almost stopped, suddenly beat once. The strong voice made Nanfeng overjoyed, he fought hard to get up with serious injuries, and Lei Fa was lucky, and another thunderbolt fell, breaking the charred flesh and blood on Bu Zheng's body.
Blood kept dripping down Nanfeng's chin, his eyes were red, his expression was a little crazy, and the thunder in his palm slashed on Bu Zheng's body one after another. It wasn't until the true qi in his body was so violent that it couldn't be suppressed and began to destroy his internal organs, that he collapsed on the edge of the pool like soft mud. Blood kept gurgling out of his throat, and a pair of eyes that were almost bursting stared at Bu Zheng.
Bu Zheng really thought that he was dead, and when his consciousness was awake again, he saw Nanfeng standing on the shore and shouting his name in his blurred eyes, urging thunder and lightning desperately, hoping to save himself. He tried to speak to stop the south wind, but found that he couldn't make a sound.
I could only float on the molten and watch the crazy south wind, watch him look desperate, watch him spit blood, watch the tears in the corners of his eyes, watch him fall to the dust, watch him look full of joy when he finds out that he is not dead.
After another day, Bu Zheng finally didn't feel the pain, and after destroying his body, the Lie Yang Gong method finally began to feed himself. He didn't know if he had practiced the Lie Yang Gong Body now, but he only felt that there was an extremely powerful vitality in his body, which renewed his muscles and veins, and added flesh and bones.
As night fell, he looked up at the sky, his eyes full of hope.
Tonight's night was different, the moon was obscured by dark clouds, and the sky and the earth were dark. There was a cool breeze blowing in the hot forbidden place, the crows were chirping, and the night owls were screaming, in a treacherous and gloomy atmosphere. A pair of big feet stepped on the ground by the molten pool, and a ghostly hoarse voice spoke.
"The south wind is over, you finally don't hide anymore, oh no! you can't hide, after all, you can't even stand up now. You have been here for ten years and have killed many of our people, and tonight I will sacrifice your head to them. ”
Bu Zheng saw a black-faced canine tooth, the face of a demon. I can't help but think of Nanfeng once said that the seal here is to make it impossible for the demons to go out and bring disaster to the world, so the identity of this monster is self-evident. Nanfeng said that because of the scorching sun riot underground, they hid, and now that many days have passed, the monsters have come out again?
Watching the monster raise the axe high, it seemed to chop off the head of Nanfeng Duan, but Nanfeng Duan was seriously injured and couldn't dodge, and life and death were in an instant.
