Chapter 60: Failed?
It doesn't seem to be difficult, but Yuan Shi Tianzun would put forward such a condition, is there any danger in this clear spring water?
Xiao Ming thought about it, and Xiao Qi beside him worriedly came to Xiao Ming's hand.
"Baba ......"
Xiao Ming touched his head.
"Xiao Qi, don't worry, I'll be fine, wait here for a while, I'll be back soon." ”
As he spoke, Xiao Ming took off his coat and walked in with his feet raised.
The water is cold, but other than that, it doesn't seem to be any different.
Xiao Ming was thinking about it, and a dull pain suddenly struck!
In an instant, it invaded all of Xiao Ming's nerves!
The pain was so intense that it almost separated her flesh and bones, and it came from all four limbs at the same time.
He clenched his teeth so he didn't cry out in pain.
But even so, in just a few seconds, a few beads of sweat had oozed from his forehead.
My face was already pale.
"What's going on?" Xiao Ming asked through gritted teeth.
Yuan Shi Tianzun stood aside and raised his hand to support his beard.
"Do you feel unbearable pain now? This is the purest spring water in the heavenly court, if the mind is not pure, the six roots are not pure, the seven emotions and six desires are heavier, the greater the suffering. ”
He looked at Xiao Ming's sweat beads and shook his head.
"If you can persevere, I can take you as an apprentice, but looking at your current appearance, it seems impossible. ”
Xiao Ming frowned and stood in the spring water, although the spring water only reached his waist and abdomen, but the pain spread all over his body.
"Baba!"
Xiao Qi stepped forward in a hurry and wanted to enter the water.
Xiao Ming hurriedly called out to her.
"Xiao Qi, don't come in. ”
Xiao Qi's footsteps had to stop in mid-air, looking at Xiao Ming, so anxious that tears oozed from his eyes.
"Daddy is fine. Xiao Ming replied firmly, turned his head to look at Yuan Shi Tianzun, and said, "No matter what, as long as I can hold on to a stick of incense in it, you will teach me to cultivate, right?"
Yuan Shi Tianzun nodded, raised his hand, and a stick of incense appeared on the ground, and the green smoke curled up, which had been ignited.
Xiao Ming glanced at it and stood firmly, his underwater hands had already clenched into fists, but he didn't dare to shake it at all.
Time passed little by little, but the severe pain on his body did not decrease, but intensified.
Xiao Ming felt that every piece of skin and bone in his body had been torn apart, the pain was unbearable, and it seemed like something was churning in his mind, and it might explode at any moment.
Yuan Shi Tianzun had already sat down cross-legged on the side and began to meditate.
Xiao Qi walked around the spring in a hurry, worried that he would disturb Xiao Ming, but he didn't dare to speak.
The picture in front of Xiao Ming's eyes had begun to be a little blurry, he clenched his fists, his fingertips pierced into his palms, and the red blood spread out in the water, and soon disappeared.
After half a pillar of incense, Xiao Ming's forehead was already sweating like rain.
Seeing that he still refused to give up, Yuan Shi Tianzun sighed, but did not open his eyes, and slowly spoke.
"You still won't give up?"
Xiao Ming gritted his teeth, and at this time he had no energy to answer his words.
Yuan Shi Tianzun continued: "If an ordinary person has a little qualification, after half a pillar of incense, the severe pain on his body will gradually weaken, but instead of weakening, you will become more and more intense, you don't have any qualifications, even if you learn, you won't achieve anything." ”
"Why do you want to learn immortal arts?"
Xiao Ming took a deep breath and reluctantly spoke: "Let people not be bullied by others." ”
Yuan Shi Tianzun shook his head.
"Your original intention of cultivating immortals is wrong, how can I teach you? ”
Xiao Ming was not willing to give up.
"Tianzun said that as long as I can hold on to a stick of incense, he will accept me as a disciple. ”
Yuan Shi Tianzun shook his head.
"The desire to win is too heavy, if you keep thinking like this, you won't be able to get out of this pool. ”
Xiao Ming didn't speak again, and every second, the sharp pain from his body continued to increase.
He gritted his teeth, the tip of his tongue tasted blood, and even his vision began to blur.
The incense in front of me burned more and more, and only the last section remained.
At this time, the sharp pain behind him increased suddenly!
Xiao Ming let out a muffled snort in his throat, and before he even had time to think about it, he was eroded by the overwhelming pain, his eyes were dark, and he passed out.
When he fell into the water, the incense finally burned out.
When Xiao Qi was in a coma, Xiao Qi had already quickly run over.
"Baba!"
She quickly entered the water, completely ignoring the sharp pain Xiao Ming felt just now, and soon came to his side and helped Xiao Ming up.
"Baba, baba!"
Xiao Qi shouted anxiously and helped Xiao Ming to the shore.
After a long time, Xiao Ming finally woke up.
"Baba!" As soon as he saw him open his eyes, Xiao Qi pounced and hugged Xiao Ming tightly, and the golden beans kept falling.
"Baba, you're scared of Xiaoqi. ”
Xiao Ming's face was still pale, bloodless, and there was still a bath bucket left on his body, as if he had survived the catastrophe, and it was very difficult to even raise his hand.
He reluctantly touched Xiao Qi's head and helped her wipe away the tears.
"Baba is fine, Xiao Qi don't worry. ”
"You've failed. Yuan Shi Tianzun's voice came from behind him at this time.
Xiao Ming's heart sank, and he turned his head to look at him.
A second before he fell unconscious, he did see that the incense had not burned out.
It's just the last point.
Yuan Shi Tianzun looked at him and said: "You have such a belief, you will definitely achieve great success in doing other things, why do you only pursue cultivating immortals? Your foundation is not good, your desires are too heavy, if you don't take the pill, I'm afraid you won't be able to last even half a pillar of incense." ”
Xiao Ming's body was already soaked, and he was in a low mood.
He thought that as long as he persevered, he would definitely succeed.
The opportunity that I had finally gotten slipped away from my eyes.
Yuan Shi Tianzun flicked his sleeves and said, "You go, don't think about cultivation in the future." ”
Xiao Ming staggered to his feet and arched his hand at him.
"Thank you Tianzun for giving me this opportunity. ”
After that, put the things you brought earlier on the ground.
"These are gifts I brought from the mortal world, I hope you like it. ”
Xiao Mingchao bowed again, and then pulled Xiao Qi away.
As soon as he left, Yuan Shi Tianzun looked at the things on the ground and sighed.
At this time, two Taoist priests in Tsing Yi emerged from the woods and bent down towards the Yuan Shi Tianzun.
"Master, just let him go like this?" asked a disciple puzzled.
Yuan Shi Tianzun came to the spring and looked down at the crystal clear water.
"Fuqing, when you first entered my door, how long could you last in this spiritual spring?"
The disciple said, "Less than a cup of tea......
"And now?"
"There is more than a stick of incense. ”
Yuan Shi Tianzun nodded.
"You are a natural person, your qualifications are originally superior to ordinary people, you have practiced under my door for thirty years, and you can only reach the time of a stick of incense, and this Xiao Ming can be shoulder to shoulder with you without cultivating, just a latecomer has such ability, if you cultivate to become an immortal in the future, I am afraid that the history of the year will repeat itself." ”
