Chapter 5: Cultivation is Hindered
In the blink of an eye, at dusk, Ziyunju, in a small wooden house, at this time, Ye Xiaotian was sitting cross-legged on the only small wooden bed in the house, his eyes slightly closed, and between his knees, there was a thin green book. After a long time, he suddenly opened his eyes, but his expression was not as peaceful as when he closed his eyes, but he frowned, as if there was a hint of doubt.
"What's going on? Why can't I sense the presence of aura in the dantian?" Ye Xiaotian muttered. Since practicing "Guiyuan Gong" in the afternoon, he has stumbled and bumped, and finally mastered the first two steps of "Guiyuan Gong", that is, inducing qi into the body and freely opening and closing the orifices of the whole body. Although it took him two hours to master the steps that others could master in just one hour, he was still satisfied.
It's just that he knew from Ye Shi'er that if the first two steps were successful, he would be able to sense the existence of aura in the dantian, but when he sank his mind into the dantian, he couldn't sense the slightest aura.
"Could it be that something went wrong somewhere?" Ye Xiaotian held this doubt and practiced the Returning Yuan Gong again, with the experience of groping for the first time, this time it was much smoother, and it took a lot less time, although he still missed a lot of aura in the aperture of the whole body, but he did sense that some residual aura sank into the dantian after running the whole body for a week.
But when he sank his mind into the dantian again, the same result appeared again, and his dantian still did not have the slightest trace of aura. It's exactly the same as when you weren't cultivating!
"What the hell is going on?" Ye Xiaotian sighed, unable to make a sound!
"Alas, let's try again, if it doesn't work, I'll ask Sister Shi'er!Although that won't surprise Sister Shi'er!" After sitting on the bed for a long time, Ye Xiaotian was about to enter the cultivation state again. However, at this time, a crisp voice suddenly sounded outside the window, "Xiaotian, it's time to eat!"
Ye Xiaotian was stunned, and only then did he notice the sky outside the window, and it turned out that unconsciously, the sky had completely darkened. "I didn't expect it to be so late, cultivation is really time-consuming, no wonder Sister Shi'er would say, one day of retreat, a hundred years, in a flash!
Ye Xiaotian thought so in his heart, and pushed open the slightly dilapidated wooden door. As he expected, a delicate figure was standing not far from the door, the owner of the figure was wearing a water-green dress, although he was still young, he already had the potential to be a peerless beauty.
After seeing her, Ye Xiaotian walked straight over and called with a smile, "Sister Shi'er, you're here!"
The person who came was Ye Qingshan's sister Ye Shi'er, and she was also the person who got along with Ye Xiaotian the most in the past ten days, hearing Ye Xiaotian's question, her delicate face showed a hint of disgust, "Hmph, you still ask me, it's dinner time, but you are still staying in the house, but we have been waiting for you for a long time, and when we saw that you didn't come, we asked me to call you! I thought you were having something outside, but I didn't expect you to be sleeping in the house!"
"Hmm!" Ye Xiaotian scratched his head and said, "Sister Shi'er, I didn't snooze!"
"Why are you staying in the house?"
"No, nothing!"
"Oh, is it?" Ye Shi'er stared at Ye Xiaotian with burning eyes, staring at Ye Xiaotian and blushing, but just when Ye Xiaotian couldn't bear to confess, Ye Shi'er withdrew her gaze as if she was nothing, and said, "If it's nothing, let's go!"
Although I didn't understand why Ye Shi'er didn't insist, Ye Xiaotian was so happy, so the two of them walked towards the depths of Ziyunju, but Ye Shi'er quietly closed her eyes when Ye Xiaotian wasn't paying attention, although she opened them after only a while, but when she opened them, there was a hint of cunning in her eyes. And Ye Xiaotian was already weak-hearted, where would he notice.
Although Ziyunju is a small place on Zixia Peak, there are also more than twenty small cabins as big as where Ye Xiaotian lives, standing in two rows, and in the deepest part of Ziyunju, there is also a small kitchen, this small kitchen belongs to them Ziyunju, three meals a day, the teenagers of Ziyunju will gather here.
When Ye Xiaotian and Ye Shi'er arrived at the kitchen, there were already more than ten people sitting at the table, most of these ten people were boys, and only two or three were girls, of course, each of them was three or four years older than Ye Xiaotian and Ye Shi'er, and they had already entered the teenage or girlhood, and Ye Xiaotian and Ye Shi'er were still a few years old, so in this Ziyun Ju, Ye Xiaotian and Ye Shi'er were veritable little brothers and little sisters.
The two or three girls at the table were all thirteen or fourteen years old, and their appearance was extremely ordinary, which was quite different from Ye Shi'er, who was only nine years old. And if you look closely, the appearance of the young man at this table is also extremely ordinary, even Ye Xiaotian's brother is extremely simple, and he does not have Ye Shi'er's dusty temperament. If it were the first time they met, they would never have been associated with them as brothers and sisters. Compared with them, Ye Shi'er is like a fairy who has unintentionally fallen into the mortal dust.
Like many people, Ye Xiaotian didn't connect them at first, even if he knew it later, he still had doubts, in his heart, he always felt that they were not really brother and sister, of course, he also said this idea once, but after finding that it made the scene very embarrassing, he never mentioned it again.
At this time, a sturdy young man sitting in the front row of the dining table heard the noise, raised his head, and happened to see Ye Xiaotian and Ye Shi'er who had walked into the kitchen, and hurriedly shouted in a rough voice: "Xiaotian, why did you come, everyone has been waiting for you for a long time!" There was not much reproach in the words. And with a hint of concern.
Ye Xiaotian walked over embarrassedly and sat on a chair next to the dining table, while Ye Shi'er sat beside him lightly and dexterously.
"Xiaotian, why are you so late today, you are usually very positive about eating!" As soon as Ye Xiaotian sat down, Ye Qingshan's rough voice sounded in his ears, and at the same time, the other teenagers at the table also cast inquiring glances at him.
Ye Xiaotian knew that Ye Qingshan, who was extremely curious, would definitely ask him why he came so late, so on the way, he thought of a reason, but when he was just about to speak, an ethereal voice suddenly sounded, "Because Xiaotian is cultivating Guiyuan Gong this afternoon, naturally he didn't grasp the time to eat!" It was Ye Shi'er who was sitting next to him who made the sound. At this time, she was smiling slyly, looking at Ye Xiaotian, as if to say, look, you still want to hide it from me, I already knew!
Ye Xiaotian looked at Ye Shi'er with a look of surprise on his face, he didn't know why, obviously he didn't say it, but why?
"Hey, Xiaotian has started to cultivate!How about it?Do you feel that cultivation is boring and boring, haha, you must feel this way!" Ye Qingshan's face showed excitement, and his loud voice sounded again, from what he said, it seemed that he hoped that Ye Xiaotian would be like what he said!
On the side, Ye Shi'er said angrily: "Brother, you are as stupid as you are Xiaotian! The cultivation speed is very slow, but I can sense it, Xiaotian has accumulated some aura in his body through this cultivation, hmm...... There should be as many tenths of a cyclone, and after ten days of cultivation like this, a cyclone will be born in the Xiaotian Dantian!"
Ye Xiaotian was stunned, he didn't understand what Ye Shi'er meant for a while, and at this time, Ye Qingshan's excited state disappeared, but became extremely surprised, and exclaimed, "What? You said that a little genius has so much aura as a tenth of a cyclone in such a small amount of time to cultivate? Isn't that ...... than you Xiao Shi" Ye Qingshan showed a look of astonishment, and the others also had an incredible expression.
"Well, Xiao Tian is much more powerful than me, and he will definitely be able to get ahead in the sect in the future, at that time, we will have to rely on Xiao Tian to take care of him!" Ye Shi'er narrowed her eyes and said happily.
"This ...... How could it be?...... Isn't it a little poem for you...... Lie to us!" Ye Qingshan still didn't believe it, and his eyes when he looked at Ye Xiaotian became complicated, and even had a hint of hostility. This hostility does not come from simple jealousy, but has a more complex meaning. In a trance, he remembered his father's dying instructions to him.
At this time, a cold snort pulled him back to reality from his thoughts, and he came back to his senses, but it was Ye Shi'er who was dissatisfied with his suspicions, and snorted coldly, and said, "Brother, don't you still believe in my ability? No matter how weak the aura is, as long as I have the heart to sense it, I can sense it!"
Ye Qingshan retracted his eyes from staring at Ye Xiaotian, and said, "Isn't it a little unacceptable to me, Xiaoshi, there are not many people in the Heavenly Sword Sect who can surpass you, Xiaoshi, and now there is a person who is taller than you in front of me, I am really a little ......."
"Hmph, isn't it a good thing that Xiao Tian has a good talent? Not only are you not happy about this, but you are also suspicious, it's really unreasonable! I'm very angry now!" Ye Shi'er puffed out her face, although she was angry, she looked extremely cute, but Ye Qingshan didn't dare to enjoy this cuteness, because once Ye Shi'er showed this expression, it meant that he was going to be taught a lesson. Although he is five years older than Ye Shi'er, his strength is much lower than Ye Shi'er because of his talent.
Therefore, every time he confronted Ye Shi'er, Ye Qingshan was the first to give in, and this time was no exception. Seeing that Ye Shi'er was angry, Ye Qingshan's big voice immediately lowered. "Hmm, then my brother apologizes to you?"
Ye Shi'er snorted, "What's the use of apologizing to me, you should apologize to Xiaotian!"
"Eh, okay!" Ye Qingshan turned his head and was about to apologize to Ye Xiaotian, but at this time, Ye Xiaotian, who had never had time to say anything, finally seized the opportunity and said the doubts held in his heart.
"Sister Shi'er, are you mistake......n? I have indeed cultivated today, but I have looked at the dantian inward, and it seems that I can't sense the slightest aura!"
"Huh?" Ye Shi'er was stunned for a moment, and said, "No, I obviously sensed a little aura flow in your body before, there will be no mistake!" After that, she closed her eyes again, as if she was sensing the aura in Ye Xiaotian's body, and after a long time, she opened her eyes, but her expression was very strange.
On the side, Ye Qingshan immediately came up and asked nervously, "How is it?, does Xiaotian have aura in his body?" Like him, the rest of the teenagers were also staring at Ye Shi'er.
Ye Shi'er frowned and muttered, "No, I obviously sensed the aura fluctuations in Xiaotian's body before, why can't I sense it now?"
Although Ye Shi'er spoke very softly, and she was still talking to herself, this did not prevent the people at the table from hearing the words clearly, and when they learned from Ye Shi'er's mouth that Ye Xiaotian did not have aura in his body, they were all relieved. It's just that Ye Xiaotian lowered his head, feeling more lost in his heart. For a moment, the small kitchen fell silent.
"Haha, I'll just say, how can anyone surpass Xiao Shi in cultivation qualifications, this is ...... Eh, Xiaoshi, why are you looking at me? I'm telling the truth...... Eh, I didn't say anything!Ahaha, everyone has been here for so long, let's hurry up and eat!The food is cold, but it doesn't taste good!" After a short silence, Ye Qingshan's big voice sounded again, but he didn't know how to speak because he wanted to break this dull atmosphere, he said for a while, and found that Ye Shi'er was staring at him, with anger flashing in his eyes, he realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly snorted and stopped talking.
"Well, let's eat first, and we'll talk about cultivation later!" Ye Shi'er glared at Ye Qingshan, paused, and then said, "However, there is a person here who is not allowed to eat, hey, Ye Da stupid, what about you, you still use chopsticks?"
"Huh, why?"
"There is no why!"
Ye Qingshan shouted miserably: "I have to do morning class tomorrow!"
"Hmph, you won't die if you're hungry for a day!"
“......”
