Chapter 19: Refining Sword Qi
After Helian Xue got that wisp of sword qi, she was afraid that the sword qi would dissipate, so she had to immediately retreat and refine.
And the great responsibility of protecting the Dharma naturally fell on the heads of Shi Yu and Zhang Zhizhen.
It's a good thing to say, but it's just to help it look at some people, after all, if someone is really looking for trouble, the two of them can't beat it.
Refining foreign objects is different from retreat and rushing to the realm, it can be said that there is no danger, if you really want to say it, the only danger is that it is easy to get angry after refining failure.
The refining location was selected in the side room of the Taiping Temple, and Shi Yu and Zhang Zhizhen guarded the door on the left and right.
Zhang Zhizhen was bored and drew circles on the ground.
Shi Yu sat cross-legged, holding the ugly stone that was originally a mustard seed in his hand, and observed left and right.
He closed his eyes and said a few words silently in his heart, the senior was not there.
He wanted to ask Zhang Taixu if he knew how to control the aura and open this mustard thing.
At this time, although I did not regard the mustard seed as my own, if there was a lot of chance, it was not impossible to borrow the mustard seed when I couldn't fit it. It's just borrowing, and the owner shouldn't be to blame.
With Shi Yu's current cultivation, he can't look inward, so he can only ask himself, I believe that with Zhang Taixu's ability, he shouldn't be able to hear it.
For a long time, there was no response, and just when Shi Yu was about to give up, an old voice sounded in his heart.
"What's the matter with finding poverty, kid."
Shi Yu immediately came to his senses and asked from his heart: "Do you know how to open mustard seeds?"
Zhang Taixu's laughter sounded in his head, and he said: "It's very simple, if you want to open it, it can be opened."
"What do you mean?" Shi Yu frowned slightly.
There was no longer Zhang Taixu's voice, and he seemed to be silent again.
Shi Yu slandered, this old man is not honest, and he can't understand what he says.
However, he didn't call out the old Taoist again, but just pondered Zhang Taixu's words.
Could it be that I thought it was already opened, and it opened?
A moment later, Shi Yu's head was full of black lines.
Really!
He just had his mind fall on the mustard seeds, and the aura overflowed from his fingertips, seeping into it, and he clearly felt the existence of that ethereal space in his mind.
I grabbed a stone casually, and as soon as my mind moved, it disappeared, and I looked inside at the mustard substance, and sure enough, it was among them.
With another thought, the stone immediately appeared in the palm of his hand.
Shi Yu turned his head to look at Zhang Zhizhen, he should be sleepy from drawing circles, he was napping with his head down, and he didn't notice this side at all.
Shi Yu breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't want to reveal the identity of the Qi Refiner yet, this was his last hole card. Even Li Xiao didn't want to say it, if he asked Jian Li Xiao in the future, everyone at the bottom of the box would know about it, and he would ask a fart?
Turning her head to look at the room, Helian Xue was still meditating, and the wisp of sword qi was held in her arms, wrapped in wisps of aura.
Helian Xue was engrossed, staring at the wisp of sword qi without the slightest slackness. That wisp of sword qi was gradually consumed, but the progress was slow, and it should take a long time to completely refine.
Shi Yu stood up and practiced the standing pile of Kaishan Boxing.
Zhang Zhizhen had questions about this: "Aren't you a swordsman?"
Shi Yu said without looking back: "Practice sword practice first and boxing, your body is as strong as an ox!"
Zhang Zhizhen's brows jumped.
Shi Yu added: "One punch kills a cow, and one sword can kill a bear."
"It's all about whatever." Zhang Zhizhen couldn't stand Shi Yu's chatter, so he moved his position and moved a little farther away, for fear of being infected.
Shi Yu didn't care, he practiced standing on his own.
It took Helian Xue nearly a day to refine that wisp of sword qi.
During this period, Shi Yu went through the boxing pile nearly 100 times, and even beat the three-style boxing many times.
It can't be said to be perfect, but it has a good look.
When Helian Xue came out of the pass, the movement was not small, and the sword qi released from the outside even collided with the air to create ripples and swing outward.
Among the people looking for opportunities here, there is a sword cultivator, in the natal acupoint, the accompanying flying swords are trembling, and he almost can't help but bow down.
Even if he held back, he still looked at the side house with palpitations.
Zhang Zhizhen stood up with a "whoosh" and blurted out: "Broken the realm?"
Shi Yu cast a questioning look.
Zhang Zhizhen shrugged and said, "I guess."
I really guessed it right for him.
When Helian Xue came out, she had already gathered her sword qi, which was no different from usual.
Shi Yu asked, "Yuan Baby?"
Helian Xue nodded, that wisp of sword qi was very promising, it looked weak, but in fact it was extremely domineering, and it was in constant conflict with her companion flying sword, and the refining process was not easy.
But because of this, after refining this wisp of sword qi, she was able to easily break through the bottleneck of Jindan and enter the Yuanying Realm.
Shi Yu grinned, happy for Helian Xue from the bottom of his heart, and said sincerely: "Miss Helian has the qualifications of an earth immortal."
Helian Xue glanced at him, but he was a little happy in his heart, how can a woman in the world not like to be praised?
Zhang Zhizhen hugged his fists and congratulated: "Congratulations."
Helian Xue returned the salute.
Zhang Zhizhen said with a sad face: "It's really more human than human, and it's infuriating." At the same age, Miss Helian is already a baby, and Xiaodao is still a small light, and there are many words in her belly, only through wine to drown her sorrows, can Brother Bu Xiang understand? ”
Shi Yu raised his eyebrows, and the wine gourd that Li Xiao gave him hung from his waist, which was full of Huadiao aged wine. After entering the mouth of the fish pond, he was in a hurry, and he encountered many things, and he never drank it, and he never wanted to worry about Zhang Zhizhen.
"You are a Taoist, what are you doing drinking?" Shi Yu is not stingy, but he knows very little about Taoism, so he preconceived that he is like Buddhism, and he quits drinking and sex.
"Wine and meat have passed through the intestines, and Daozu has left it in his heart." Zhang Zhizhen read the words and tampered with the classic sentences of a reincarnated Arhat of the Buddhist family.
Shi Yu untied the wine gourd around his waist and handed it to Zhang Zhizhen.
Zhang Zhizhen took it, first took a sip, and said: "I can't see it, Brother Bu Xiang pretends to be poor on weekdays, and this wine is unambiguous."
Shi Yu said expressionlessly: "If someone else invites it, if you want to replace it with me, the lowest inferior rice wine, I think it's good."
"That's right." Zhang Zhizhen nodded sympathetically, usually the master didn't give him much money to spend, so he could only secretly drink some bad wine to satisfy his hunger.
But it's not a Taoist rule. Taoism is different from Buddhism, there are no cumbersome rules for abstaining from alcohol and sex, and the master does not care about it. It's just that his eldest brother made a mistake because of drinking in his early years, so for people who don't like to drink, he saw Zhang Zhizhen drinking before, gave him a full beating, and couldn't get out of bed for half a month.
This trip to Yuchikou was brought by his senior brother, how dare he bring wine with him?
It's just that the senior brother sent him to the entrance, and then turned back the same way, and now the senior brother is not around, if he doesn't drink something to relieve his hunger, he is really going to suffocate people.
Thinking of this, Zhang Zhizhen took another sip before returning the gourd to Shi Yu, and even the wine stains on the corners of his mouth were filled clean.
"I'm so addicted to alcohol, so I'll bring some alcohol with me." Shi Yu is different from Zhang Zhizhen, take a sip and hang it back on his waist.
When it comes to drinking, pay attention to a long stream.
was poked by Shi Yu in the sore spot, Zhang Zhizhen showed pain on his face again, patted Shi Yu's shoulder, and said: "It's hard to say, in short, drink and cherish."
Shi Yu didn't know why.
"Let's go, there's nothing to do here."
Helian Xue didn't have the slightest interest in drinking, so she interrupted the two of you and me, and took the lead to walk outside the Taoist temple.
Shi Yu and Zhang Zhizhen looked at each other and smiled, and quickly followed.
——
After leaving the passage of the Taiping Temple, Shi Yu and the three of them went to the nearest passage.
Unlike the Taiping Temple, this passage is extremely wide and long.
With about half a pillar of incense in the world, it came to an end.
There were fewer people here, except for Shi Yu and the others, only one person came before them.
It is very different from the Taiping Temple, the space here is narrow, there is only a lotus platform, and the lotus platform is surrounded by spiritual energy, which looks very immortal.
The monk who came before them was sitting cross-legged on the lotus platform, his eyes closed, meditating, and wisps of aura seeping into his acupoints.
The man was wearing a gray monk's robe, with a bare head, and he knew that he must be a Buddhist monk just by looking at his dress.
"That lotus platform is a spiritual weapon that has opened the spiritual wisdom, obviously recognizing the lord of this high monk, otherwise it is absolutely impossible to take the initiative to assist in cultivation." Zhang Zhizhen looked left and right, and explained casually.
Helian Xue nodded in agreement.
Shi Yu glanced at Zhang Zhizhen, and his opinion of him changed a little, his realm was not high, but he knew a lot.
Only the lotus platform here is a pile of chance, and the three of them have the choice of returning empty-handed since they came, and searched for it.
In the end, he left empty-handed.
Wave your sleeves and don't take away a cloud.
It's not that you can't take it away, but you don't have it at all.
Leaving the passage, the group stayed where they had been when they first entered, not intending to wander around the floor again.
Not far away is the passage to the next layer, and several great monks are joining forces to form a formation to refine the barrier at the entrance of the passage.
Helian Xue sat on the ground, consolidating the Yuan Infant Realm that she had just set foot in.
Shi Yu practiced Kaishan boxing.
Zhang Zhizhen was lying on the ground in a large shape, staring blankly at the rock and soil above his head.
Among the people in the refining enchantment, one person felt a sense and turned his head to glance at Helian Xue who was meditating.
But it was only a quick glance, so none of the three of them noticed.
"Boy, meet again."
A woman's voice came from behind him, and Shi Yu turned to look.
I saw a woman in black clothes and a hat with an excellent figure, twisting her waist, followed by a woman in green clothes and armor with silk stripes on her eyes.
It turned out to be a woman in the capital of Jinpan Kingdom, interrogating Shi Yu.
When Shi Yu was grabbing medicine for Helian Xue, two women asked if the mouth of the fish pond was open. It's just that it was the blind woman who asked before, but now it is the woman in black who speaks.
Seeing the woman in black, Zhang Zhizhen's eyes straightened, and he cast a questioning look at Shi Yu.
Although the woman was wearing a veil, the pair of eyes exposed outside were like autumn waves, and her figure was extremely graceful, which made Zhang Zhizhen think about it, and sighed secretly in her heart: Wonderful!
After approaching, the woman in black had a pair of crooked eyes and asked with a smile, "Can we sit here?"
Without waiting for Shi Yu to speak, Zhang Zhizhen took the lead in getting up, dragged Shi Yu behind him, grabbed the hand of the woman in black with a smile, and said, "Of course, the girl is here, please."
Helian Xue glanced at it and then withdrew her gaze and continued to practice with her eyes closed.
Shi Yu's brows jumped, and his eyes looked at Zhang Zhizhen as if he had seen a piece of shit.
Looking at Zhang Zhizhen's performance again, it's really ...... Doglegs to the extreme.
A good little Taoist, why is he so lustful? All made Shi Yu regret walking with him.
I can't afford to lose that person!
