In the kitchen of Ao Cangfeng, the chef Lao Huang prepared the lunch meal, and sat on the chair alone and closed his eyes to rest. I don't know why Zhou Xiaotian always has an inexplicable sense of intimacy every time he sees Lao Huang, maybe Lao Huang's mellow and simple personality is the most similar to himself!

"Old Grandpa Huang, is there anything you need my help with here?"

Lao Huang closed his mind and didn't notice Zhou Xiaotian's arrival, and when he heard the voice, he hurriedly stood up and said, "It's Xiaotian, don't say a word when you come, these rough jobs are not what you should do, you just need to concentrate on cultivation! But it seems that there is nothing you can do." ”

Lao Huang has been in Aocang Peak for decades, cooking and cooking every day, doing chores, and he has long been familiar with the road, and now for him, the life of a chef is leisurely, and there is indeed no Zhou Xiaotian to do chores.

When Zhou Xiaotian heard that there was nothing to do, he felt a little disappointed in his heart, is he really a useless person?

He lowered his head and whispered, "I made a mistake, it was Senior Brother who punished me to do some chores here!"

"Oh~ That's right. Lao Huang seemed to be very clear and nodded. His right hand touched his white beard, thought for a while, and said, "In that case, then you can go to the back mountain every day to help me pick up some dry firewood and come back." It doesn't take much, you can carry it yourself, just come back before the sun sets. ”

Zhou Xiaotian nodded happily, at this time, it may be a kind of satisfaction for him to be able to help others do something!

In fact, the dry firewood stored behind the kitchen was piled up, and Lao Huang asked him to chop firewood, just to let the young child have more time to go out and play freely.

Lao Huang walked to the stove, took out two eggs from a clay pot above, and handed them to Zhou Xiaotian.

"I haven't seen you come over to eat in the morning, it's time to grow your body, eat something good!"

Zhou Xiaotian's eyes lit up when he saw that it was an egg, even if he was at Seen's house before, he only ate one on his birthday. He swallowed his saliva and reluctantly excused himself: "I... I don't want it!"

Lao Huang smiled, put the egg in Zhou Xiaotian's hand, and said angrily: "This is given to you by grandpa, if you don't eat it, you are not allowed to call me grandpa in the future!"

Although Zhou Xiaotian excused himself, his eyes never left the egg, his tongue licked his lips, and said, "That... Then I... I'll just reluctantly accept it!"

Seeing this, Lao Huang couldn't help but laugh again.

In the early morning of the second day, as soon as the sky was bright, Zhou Xiaotian got up early and put on his fur hat and came to the "Fengzhu Hall". The hall was still a little dim, and Jia Nan was seeing himself adding lamp oil to the lamp.

"Senior Brother Jia Nan, why are you alone, and what about the other senior brothers?"

Jia Nan was a little surprised, turned his head to see that it was Zhou Xiaotian, and said with a smile: "It's so early today! ”

He pulled up Zhou Xiaotian and sat on the futon in the hall and said, "Just right, I'll teach you the Introductory Dao Method first." ”

"Our Qingsang Sect has been established for thousands of years, and its fundamental place is the mysterious Taishang Xuan Void Decision. The Taishang Xuanxuan Void Decision is divided into four major realms, namely the realm of Dao Void, the realm of true void, the realm of Taivoid and the realm of Xuanxu, and each realm is divided into four layers. Today, I will first teach you the first layer of the mind method of the realm of Dao Void. ”

Since Jia Nan started more than 100 years ago, he has also taught many disciples on behalf of him, and he is naturally handy when teaching Zhou Xiaotian, but Zhou Xiaotian is really a little dull, and Jia Nan also wasted a lot of effort to teach him the beginner method.

An hour later, the "Fengzhu Hall" was successively filled with Taoist disciples in bundles of hair and green clothes, Zhou Xiaotian secretly counted them, plus himself and Jia Nan were just twelve people, but the senior brother Hao Xiangshou was not seen.

Jia Nan faced everyone, sat alone in the front row, and when he saw that the hour was not early, he said loudly: "Start the morning class." Everyone took out the scriptures they carried, and Jia Nan immediately stuffed his scriptures into Zhou Xiaotian's hands, for him, the Taoist scriptures had already been memorized. At this time, Zhou Xiaotian looked out the door a little absent-mindedly, and said anxiously: "Senior Brother Jia Nan, wait a little longer! Senior Brother hasn't come yet!"

The young Zhou Xiaotian was simple-minded, and the words in his heart blurted out without careful consideration.

Just as his words fell, he saw Hao Xiangshou swinging all over his fat body and swaggering in.

Zhou Xiaotian smiled at him, but he was greeted with a gaze full of complaints.

"Hmph, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint some people today!"

Zhou Xiaotian offended him somehow, and wanted to explain, but the head that had just been raised gradually lowered in Hao Xiangshou's resentful gaze, his little hands rubbed the corners of his clothes, and a thin layer of mist was covered under his long eyelashes, as if he had endless grievances.

Jia Nan saw it in his eyes, and naturally knew in his heart that Zhou Xiaotian really cared about Hao Xiangshou and wanted to improve the relationship with him, but this senior brother was narrow-minded, but it was not something that a child like Zhou Xiaotian could influence.

With the melodious chanting sound on the five peaks of Qingmulberry, the Dalan Mountains, under the auspicious clouds, the jungle is lush, and the beasts worship, showing a peaceful scene.

After lunch, everyone went back to the house to meditate, but Zhou Xiaotian hurriedly ran into the firewood room, picked up the bamboo basket, and headed towards the back mountain.

Along the quiet path, stepping on the quaint bluestone slab, the sadness that had accumulated in Zhou Xiaotian's heart for the past few days was also slightly reduced and more relaxed.

On both sides of the stone path, which is not too wide, there are lush green bamboos overlapping and overlapping, and the breeze is gentle and rustling.

Between the gaps of the bluestone steps, weeds are overgrown, and occasionally dead dried bamboo falls on the stone path, looking at the barren scenery in front of you, I don't know how many years no one has come.

Zhou Xiaotian cleaned up the weeds, picked up dry firewood, walked and stopped, the day passed suddenly, the sunset in the distance had hung on the mountain, and the already weak body was tired and sore at this time.

Standing on the bluestone steps, Zhou Xiaotian looked at the path along the path, it was twists and turns, there was no end in sight, it seemed that this stone path was endless, he had an inexplicable idea in his heart, he wanted to go to the end of the bluestone path and see what was there, but the sunset was in front of him, he had no choice but to turn around and turn back along the road he came from.

However, after walking a few steps, he saw a petite white-haired fox lying in the stone path, Zhou Xiaotian had heard the hunters in the village say that the snow fox in the mountain of Xueen was petite but fierce and cunning. Zhou Xiaotian saw that although this fox was also white-haired, it was different from the snow fox, with a more petite body, a very thick tail, and a brighter coat color.

He tensed his nerves, gathered several feet away, and stopped to look, for fear that the evil beast would pounce on him.

And the white-haired fox on the bluestone steps, seeing Zhou Xiaotian a few feet away, was also trembling, and he didn't dare to move.

After a stalemate for a moment, seeing that the sky was about to darken, Zhou Xiaotian mustered up the courage to go around, and the white-haired fox saw Zhou Xiaotian's movements, and immediately crawled to the ground, his head was also tightly attached to the ground, and his body trembled even more.

The Dalan Mountains stretch for thousands of miles, and there are many inaccessible places, and there are many rare birds and beasts among the ancient wood jungles.

Especially under the Qingsang Mountain, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the fairy spirit is dense, there are many beasts gathered here, and the Qingsang faction has been ringing for thousands of years, the Taoist scriptures, the sound of chanting resounded through the mountains and wilderness every day, the beasts are immersed in a sea of Dao, and some strange beasts gradually open Hongmeng over time, gradually give birth to spiritual consciousness, and practice some skills. But they also have a lot of awe for the Taoist priests who practice in Qingsang Mountain. The unknown white-haired fox in front of him is a spirit fox with a successful cultivation, giving birth to a trace of spiritual sense, seeing Zhou Xiaotian wearing a Taoist robe, thinking that he is a master of the Tao on Qingsang Mountain, he can't help but be afraid.

Zhou Xiaotian also noticed that the white-haired fox seemed to be extremely afraid of himself, so he moved towards it and slowly approached it, and kept muttering, "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you!"

The white-haired fox had bright eyes and was extremely intelligent, as if he knew that Zhou Xiaotian had no malicious intent, and tilted his head to the ground, but he didn't move.

Zhou Xiaotian bent down to pick it up, gently stroking its soft snow-white fur, and the little guy squinted his eyes and seemed to enjoy it very much. He took out the jerky given by Lao Huang when he came, fed it some, and in this way, one person and one fox gradually became familiar.

On Ling Tianfeng, the evening bell came slowly, Zhou Xiaotian was afraid that it would be too late to go back, everyone was worried about themselves, so he got up and accelerated the pace of going back along the quiet path, and the little fox followed him and was reluctant to leave.

After walking for a long time, the house of Ao Cangfeng in the distance gradually appeared in front of him, and Zhou Xiaotian's pace slowed down, and he stopped after walking a few steps. He turned his head to look at the little foxes walking side by side, smiled helplessly, and said, "That's all there is to it, you can go home quickly!"

After saying that, he put the rest of the jerky in front of the little fox. The little fox squatted on the ground, looking at him with his little head raised, his eyes were full of sadness, Zhou Xiaotian shook his head and smiled bitterly, turned around and was about to leave.

Suddenly, the white-haired fox quickly jumped up, so fast that even Zhou Xiaotian couldn't see it clearly, and when its figure reappeared, it had already landed on the surface of Zhou Xiaotian's feet, but it prevented Zhou Xiaotian from leaving.

Zhou Xiaotian was a little amused, bent down and touched the little fox's head, and said, "If I don't go back, the senior brothers will be worried, don't worry, I will come again tomorrow!"

Looking at Zhou Xiaotian's distant back, the little fox sat alone in the fiery sunset with the afterglow of the sunset, and it took a long time to get into the bamboo forest on the side and disappear without a trace.

Zhou Xiaotian, who returned to Ao Cang Peak, did not tell others what he had seen and heard that day, and after dinner, he returned to the room alone, sat cross-legged on the bed, and closed his eyes to practice the Taishang Xuanxuan Technique according to the method taught by Jia Nan.

After settling down, a trace of spiritual energy in the room gradually began to converge towards the top of Zhou Xiaotian's head, and slowly submerged into his meridians through the Heavenly Spirit Acupoint. If anyone sees it at this moment, they will be amazed -- they will be able to induce qi into the body for the first time!

Although the first layer of the Taishang Xuan Xuan Jue Dao Void Realm is the most basic and easiest method to cultivate, it will take a year for ordinary people to achieve the achievement of inducing qi into the body, even if it is a person with excellent root bone talent, it will take several months to say the least.

However, Zhou Xiaotian's qualifications were mediocre, and he even belonged to the category of deviations, but he reached the cultivation height that others could only reach in months or even years in the first meditation, how could it not be surprising.

At this time, Zhou Xiaotian also felt the aura entering his body, and he was ecstatic for a while, but then he was a blow to the head. According to Jia Nan's description, he led the aura to run along the meridians in the body for a small week, but the aura followed the Ren vein to the lower abdomen, constantly converging in the dantian, and then it could no longer advance an inch. Zhou Xiaotian didn't know why, he was surprised in his heart, "Why is it different from what Senior Brother Jia Nan said, why can't I find the pulse he said?"

Just when he was surprised, the aura condensed in the dantian gradually began to become thinner, and finally disappeared like a stone sinking into the sea, and he couldn't help but beat the drum in front of him to finish the water.

A figure stood outside the window for a long time, this person sighed softly, imperceptibly, he noticed the changes in the room, but he closed his eyes in frustration, sighed, and disappeared into the night like a ghost, this person was none other than Jing Fan in retreat.

Waking up from his meditation, Zhou Xiaotian, who was dazed and ignorant, laughed at himself helplessly: "Senior Brother Jia Nan said that the realm of void, although it is the easiest to cultivate, but it also takes a long time, how can a stupid person like himself do it so easily? I'm afraid it's my own illusion for a while! If I say it, I'm afraid that people will laugh off my big teeth!"

Zhou Xiaotian's mind was in chaos, thinking that it was the illusion caused by his poor muscles and stupid head, and he didn't dare to ask others, for fear of being ridiculed.

"Diligence can make up for my clumsiness, if I work harder than others, maybe I won't be too far behind by others. ”

Then he took a deep breath, sat down again, meditated again, and cultivated the first layer of the Dao Void Realm.
