Chapter 9: The Black Egg
The injuries of the spiritual meridians are the most difficult to treat, and Wei Zhen even more dangerously injured the sea of qi, which is the foundation of spiritual cultivation, so Wei Zhen's cultivation this time is almost a whole month.
In the past month, Mao Yiqing has come to visit every three or two days to check on his physical recovery, and the senior brothers and sisters in the sect have come several times in turn. Shopkeeper Yue also rushed back from Jiaozi City a few times, and this time he drove Sun Liuhou away and personally accompanied Wei Zhen. Even Na Mo Zongnian came to visit him once, and the guilt in his expression was obvious, and he gave Wei Zhen a few valuable medicines for spiritual cultivation and wound healing.
On this day, Wei Zhen was able to get out of bed and walk on his own.
For the first time, he rashly channeled qi into the body, and almost destroyed the secondary vein Taiyin meridian that was difficult to get through, if it weren't for Mao Yiqing and Mo Zongnian for seven days and seven nights in a row to nourish with their own spiritual power, supplemented by many medicines, his life would have been whining.
Despite a month of cultivation, Wei Zhen's complexion still looked very pale and weak.
He was bored and teasing Xiao Hei Hei, who was still in the cage, and thought to himself what to do with it next. It is basically impossible to feed with spirit stones for a long time, and Master Mao Yiqing has already put a lot of effort into him. If there is really no other way, I have to take Xiao Hei Hei out and release him.
"Starve this loser first!" Wei Zhen thought.
Just as he was thinking a little distracted, the door was dark, and a figure rushed in sneakily like a thief. After entering the room, the figure did not forget to look back cautiously behind him, as if he was afraid that something terrible would follow.
This person is none other than Sun Liuhou.
"Senior brother, what are you doing?" Wei Zhen asked.
Sun Liuhou's clothes were in tatters, with a lot of grass stems and leaves in between, and there were still a few fresh blood marks on his bare skin, neck and face, which were stained with blood, and he looked extremely embarrassed.
Wei Zhen hurriedly got up, put a towel in the basin and wet it and wrung it out, ready for him to wipe it off.
"There's no hurry. Sun Liuhou hurriedly spoke, gasped for breath a few more times, and then sat down on the ground, muttering, "It's dangerous! I'll drink saliva first." ”
He picked up the kettle at the bedside and poured it into his mouth until he was full of burps, then he wiped his mouth and burst out laughing, as if he had just done something that even he was proud of.
After three or two minutes, he seemed to have laughed enough, and with a rare serious expression, he reached into his bosom with his left hand and carefully pulled out a black bird's egg the size of a fist.
"Little junior brother, do you know what this is?" Sun Liuhou shook the black bird egg in front of Wei Zhen's eyes, put it to his mouth and smashed it a few times.
"This is the bird's egg of the wind carving!"
"Wind carving?" Wei Zhen was stunned for a moment, and then remembered.
Just a few days ago, Sun Liuhou carried him to the top of Luoshan Mountain, and secretly watched this wind sculpture once.
In the vast sky, I saw a pair of big birds with wings nearly three meters long and green feathers flying freely in the sea of fog, sometimes diving from a high altitude, sometimes gliding in the wind, like the elves between heaven and earth, the scenery was thrilling and pleasant.
"How can the eggs of the Wind Eagles be black?" Wei Zhen asked suspiciously. In the days when he was lying in bed to recuperate, he looked through some books and saw a record of the wind carving, which described that the eggs of the wind carving should also be pure blue.
"This, this ......" Sun Liuhou's tone was frozen, and he couldn't answer, so he changed his mouth and said: "Forget it, now it belongs to you, this is a gift from senior brother to you." Rubbing the black bird egg in the palm of his finger, Sun Liuhou seemed reluctant to hand it over.
"No, I don't. This is something you took at the risk of your life, senior brother. Wei Zhen shook his head firmly. He had heard of the power of the wind carving, and even the master Mao Yiqing did not want to provoke easily, and this wind carving egg was naturally precious.
In the iron cage, the little black black who had been hungry for a long time and looked slightly wilted, as soon as he saw the black bird egg in the hand of Sun Liuhou, a piece of green light immediately appeared in the thief's eyes, like a hungry weasel finally caught a fat little hen, and his front paws were half empty, and he was so anxious that he screamed.
"What is this. Sun Liuhou stuffed the bird's egg into Wei Zhen's arms. "It is said that this thing is great for the body when eaten raw, so you can try it. ”
Wei Zhen was stunned, and a warm current surged through his heart in an instant, his throat seemed to be blocked by something, but he couldn't say anything when he opened his mouth. He didn't know in advance that Sun Liuhou was willing to take such a big risk to steal the wind carving eggs just to nourish his body.
"Teacher, brother," he muttered, tears rolling in his eyes.
"Don't cry your nose, senior brother, I can't see a man's tears the most. Sun Liuhou waved his long arms and urged Wei Zhen to eat the bird's eggs quickly.
Wei Zhen pecked at the melon seeds on his little head and knocked the black bird egg to the edge of the bed. Unexpectedly, this eggshell was actually very hard, Wei Zhen couldn't break it even after knocking it hard a few times, and in the end, it was Sun Liuhou who took a lot of effort to knock out a finger-sized hole in the eggshell.
Both of them were a little surprised at this moment, and felt that this wind carving egg was really extraordinary.
Wei Zhen put his mouth in front of the finger-sized hole on the bird's egg and sucked it gently, and as soon as the clear egg juice entered his mouth, an extremely unpleasant fishy smell suddenly surged up from his stomach and abdomen, making him feel like his intestines were upside down, turning over the river and the sea. He wanted to spit it out, but as soon as he thought that this was Sun Liuhou's intention, he closed his eyes fiercely and inhaled in one breath.
"Okay, more senior brothers!" After a few breaths, Wei Zhen raised his face and deliberately made a look of unfinished business.
"It tastes good, right?" Sun Liuhou asked eagerly, his face was greedy, after all, this was a wind-carved egg, and he had never tasted it himself.
"It's delicious, it's delicious, it's the most delicious thing I've eaten in the world since I gave birth to my mother!" Wei Zhen deliberately slurred his lips, licked his tongue around his mouth a few times, and looked very comfortable and refreshed, but his eyes were dark.
"What is it like, tell me about it. Sun Liuhou's heart was tickled by him.
Wei Zhen didn't answer, he suddenly approached him, and sprayed directly into his mouth, nose and eyes in one breath.
"Wow-it stinks, Wei boy, you dare to yin senior brother!" Sun Liuhou was so smoked by the strong fishy smell that he almost fainted directly, and his body fell and fought with Wei Zhen.
The two of them didn't notice that Xiao Hei Hei on the side stretched out a pair of jet-black front paws and firmly pressed the black eggshell in front of the iron cage, and gnawed on it with relish.
Maybe it was really the magical effect of the wind carving egg, and after a few days, Wei Zhen's body actually recovered without any mistakes.
And in his own feeling, it seems that there is an inexplicable infinite force in his body, and once he fought with Sun Liuhou, he inadvertently lifted the other party with one hand, and it didn't feel very strenuous. In the croaking and screaming, Sun Liuhou was also envious, and secretly made up his mind in his heart that after a while, he had to find a way to steal a wind carving egg and come back to taste it.
Afterwards, the two also found that Xiao Hei Hei suddenly fell into a deep sleep after stealing a whole eggshell.
This incident made Wei Zhen a little worried. After Mao Yiqing personally checked it, he told him that there was actually nothing serious, but he was secretly surprised in his heart - Xiao Heihei's sleep this time was actually a sign of the growth and breakthrough of the spirit beast, and the reason was unknown.
He knocked on the side, and Sun Liuhou and Wei Zhen had no choice but to tell the whole story of stealing wind carved eggs.
"Are you too bold?" After Mao Yiqing listened, he was angry and funny, and after carefully examining Wei Zhen's body, he accidentally found that Wei Zhen's physique was even higher than his cultivation of the "Gu Yi Heart Method", and even he couldn't figure out the truth in it, so he had to sigh secretly: "This son is really blessed." ”
One early morning a few days later, Mao Yi called Wei Zhen to the study on the south side of the courtyard early in the morning.
"Wei Zhen, you don't have enough mental power, and you can't accept the spirit for the time being, so let's learn the method of the rune array with the teacher first. Mao Yiqing said with a deep groan. "Besides, the cultivation of mental power is not a day's work, you still need to practice diligently every day, and you must not slack off, and the cultivation of high-level talisman arrays requires more demanding mental power. ”
Wei Zhen nodded and said, "Disciple understands. ”
"Hmm. Mao Yiqing casually plucked a leaf from the purple bamboo potted plant in the study and began to explain to him the introductory knowledge of the talisman array.
"You see it clearly. He pointed to the leaf in his hand. "The talisman array has existed since the beginning of heaven and earth. What is a rune array? Based on the many years of painstaking study by the ancestors of the Maoshan lineage, in their eyes, all things in heaven and earth are rune arrays. Mountains have lines, and stones have layers. This small leaf, its veins are hundreds of thousands, according to which it swallows the qi of heaven and earth and achieves its own color, so it is also a small rune array, and it is also a simple rune. And this whole tree is a large rune array, with roots as the vein, branches and leaves as the mouth and nose, absorbing the sun, water, and air of heaven and earth, and achieving its own life. On the other hand, our physiques are not like this? Eating grains, inhaling spiritual energy, removing sweat and odor, and expelling impurities, with our own flesh, meridians, and bones as a network, the main center of the soul has formed a complete operating system. If something goes wrong in any of these areas, the body will feel unwell. This is like a complete rune array, if one of the dividers is flawed, the whole rune will not work well, and the effect will be doubled. ”
"The rune array can also be regarded as the beginning of heaven and earth, there is yin and yang, and yin and yang are intertwined, which gives birth to all things. If there is a positive and a negative, and the positive and negative overlap, then all things will perish - this is called one back and forth, which is the way of change. The array of heaven and earth, the power is infinite, non-human can be snatched, and those who cultivate the talisman array are just a small end of the great power of heaven and earth. This is the purpose of the founding father of this sect. ”
......
There was a trace of remembrance flashing in his expression, and Mao Yiqing finally said solemnly: "What the teacher said today, I don't expect you to understand much, but you must remember it word by word." Three days later, I will ask you, if you make a mistake, you will be confined for half a month. For the first time, he was not as gentle and amiable as before, but with the majesty of a master and a sect master.
Wei Zhen pursed his lips in agreement, and although he was afraid in his heart, he still asked in a low voice: "Master, is there such a book in the sect? ”
Hearing this question, Mao Yiqing was stunned, and then sighed after a while: "No." Get here first today, you go first!"
After Wei Zhen left, he got up and walked to the window to look out of the sky, his expression was depressed, and he was speechless for a long time.
