Chapter 134: Failure
"Submarine barrier?"
Elder Kui nodded. "I also saw it in the scriptures, and it is said that it has existed since ancient times, probably to resist these sea beasts."
"Have you ever seen the true face of the sea beast?" Genya asked.
Kui Lao glanced at him, "Why don't you know why you are cultivating for the teacher?" If it's just hard work, I'm afraid that some of the disciples of the Great Blue Dome can beat me. If you touch a sea beast, you won't be looking for death! ”
After speaking, he opened the crockpot again, and a sweet fragrance of tea overflowed.
"This is meditation tea, useful for cultivation, come to the peak to find me after drinking."
Xuanye nodded, waited for the tea to cool a little, and drank it all. There is no special feeling, except for the fragrance of tea, which is like drinking water.
When he reached the summit and walked out of the woods, he felt a hot wind blowing on his face, like a pinprick in his face.
With Xuanye's current cultivation and the addition of forging, you can still feel the stinging sensation, which shows that the wind here is by no means ordinary. Looking up, there seemed to be a wall of air in the distance, distorted in the sunlight.
He stared at the distortion as if he wanted to see through the wall of qi, but the next moment, he was blocked by a wide palm.
"I didn't expect you to see the clue so quickly, but I advise you not to look at it." Elder Kui reminded.
"What do you mean, teacher?"
Kui Lao glanced at the direction of the qi wall, that is, the overseas land, and his voice sank, "That's an illusion, as for what is outside the illusion, I'm afraid it's not for you and me to see through it." Don't bother with places that can't be reached by your ability, let's cultivate first. ”
Xuanye nodded in response, but found that the old man was tightly wrapped in his body, and he didn't know what he meant. It's already hot enough, and it's wrapped so tightly, isn't it stuffy?
The two of them continued on their way to a concave valley of bare rock. The knolls rolled up on both sides are like crescent moons.
As soon as he set foot in this place and this place, Xuanye felt that the heat was even worse, the wind was blowing more fiercely, and the stinging sensation on his face was especially obvious.
"This wind is the Gangfeng, plus the sunlight reflected on the surface of the sea, all gather here, as if there are a few more suns, it will be named Rizhao Valley."
Xuan Ye felt deeply, just after a while, the skin on his face already had obvious pain, presumably red and hard.
"Take off your upper clothes and sit down in the pool. It's late for a while, the heat will continue to rise, even if the power is not as good as the demon fire, it is not much worse, we have to hurry up and cultivate. ”
Xuanye nodded, took off his shirt, and walked towards the waterhole in the middle. The further I went, the hotter the heat from the ground became, and even the air in front of me became distorted, making the scene in front of me seem a little illusory.
Fortunately, he's been dealing with demon fire lately, so he won't find it too unbearable.
When I walked to the edge of the pool, I found that the water surface was as clear as a mirror, and the steaming heat had disappeared here.
It's strange to say, in such a hot place, won't the waterhole be steamed dry?
Xuanye held a question and stepped into it, and the hot temperature instantly came from his calf. The skin of the epidermis is like thousands of needle ants biting on it, painful and numb.
He subconsciously used his spiritual power to fight with demon fire, and only then did he force the discomfort to retreat.
"If you want to learn the Fire Burning Divine Refining as soon as possible, it's best not to put up any resistance."
The voice of the old man came from his ears, and Xuan Ye looked at the old man who was standing behind him, wrapped like a cicada chrysalis, and finally understood why he was dressed like this. He swallowed his saliva lightly, and then withdrew his spiritual power.
The pain came again, and he got used to it for a while, then continued to walk a few more steps until the water was up to his waist, and then he was called to stop.
At this moment, Xuanya felt like he was in a steamer, and the root that was sucked in was not air, but hot water.
The heat under the body is constantly transmitting upward, and the meridians in the body are also constantly relaxing because of this heat, and there is a slight feeling of swelling.
"Hurry up, it's just the sun rising, and the more you delay, the harder it will be." Elder Kui shouted.
Xuanye sacrificed Jue Long Ding, and felt that the spiritual power in his body was not running smoothly, and even his breathing was a little short. As the spiritual power gushed out from the palm of his hand, the demon fire turned into a fire dragon and jumped out, and the heat increased several times.
At this moment, Xuanye felt that he was about to dry up, and the water in his body was gushing out like this spiritual power.
He didn't care about the sweat pouring down like water, silently recited the magic trick, and gathered some of the demon fire to the dantian.
The fire refining focuses on controlling the fire of the furnace with its own fire.
Therefore, only with the help of external fire, can one cremation and two sources be cremated. After that, by adjusting the demon fire in the body, you can control the fire in the furnace. In short, it is through the chain of external fire that the person and the furnace are one.
Although this method is a bit extreme, as long as it is mastered, the control of the refining weapon can be increased several times. In the words of the elder, it is to touch the threshold of the subtle realm.
It turned out that in Xiaozhufeng, Xuanye had already practiced, but now that he had changed the environment, he found that he couldn't calm down, and he couldn't resonate with the demon fire in the furnace.
After repeated failures, a sense of anxiety arises spontaneously.
Soon, he couldn't control the demon fire, and it felt like a fire burning in his body.
"That's enough, that's all for today." Kui Lao interrupted Xuanye, took out another crockpot and threw it over.
Xuanye knew that this was a meditation tea, and his mouth was already dry, so he drank it all when he took it, and most of the anxiety in his heart instantly receded. "Teacher, let me try again."
Seeing that Kui Lao shook his head, he could only obediently climb out of the waterhole and go down the mountain with him.
Although Kui Lao was usually very easy-going with him, once he began to practice, he would become extremely strict, like the Iron Mask Hades, and no decision could be changed.
Back in the woods again, the heat instantly subsided.
Xuanye felt that the whole body was cool and cool, extremely comfortable, just like a hot summer, suddenly soaked in the cool spring water, and the muscles and bones of the whole body were stretched out at this moment.
But instead of becoming happy because of this, he kept reflecting on what he didn't do well when he first cultivated.
It's just that Xuanye still doesn't know something, obviously it's not hot enough to have to leave, why does Kui Lao stop him from coming again.
And all the way down, Kui Lao has been silently walking forward, the old and heavy back, so that Xuanye's heart seems to be pressed against a stone.
After returning to the cave, the old man came to the fire again and began to make tea, still with a calm face and without saying a word.
After a while, after the meditation tea was boiled, he raised his head and said to Xuanye, "Drink the tea." ”
"Yes," waiting for the tea to cool, Xuanye finally couldn't help but ask, "Teacher, why did you stop me from practicing again just now?" As long as you try a few more times, the disciple will definitely be able to grasp the essentials. ”
The old man was stunned for a moment, and when he saw the young man's serious appearance, he couldn't help but smile. "Of course, as a teacher, I believe that you will definitely be able to master the Burning Fire Divine Refining. I stopped you just now because I still underestimated the power of demon fire. ”
He sighed, and then said, "Introducing the outer fire is only the first difficulty in the Burning Fire God Refining. What's even more difficult is that when cultivating, and even when using it to refine weapons, the external fire will slowly infect the host and affect the mind. ”
Xuanye had also heard that monks who majored in fire spirits would be more irritable, perhaps this was the reason.
After Elder Kui said this, he also felt that when he first cultivated, he was much more impatient than usual. Come to think of it, it should be the impact of external fire, which is much more serious than using spiritual fire.
And the demon fire on his body is more violent than the ordinary external fire, and the effect is naturally more significant, so he was hurriedly called to stop.
"Does the teacher have a solution?" Genya asked.
"Not for the time being, but I don't want you to refine it in one day. In the evening, as the sun sets, try again, get used to it, and then figure it out. ”
It's not that Kui Lao is unprepared, it's just that those things are intended to be used in his later cultivation.
Now it was only the first step, and he hoped that Xuanye could survive by his own willpower. But in the final analysis, it was caused by underestimating the power of demon fire.
In the evening, the sky light sets into the sea level. Although it was evening, the temperature was much warmer than in the morning.
Xuanye came to Xiaotan again, and with the first experience, this time it was better, slowly wading into the water, enduring the heat that came.
He sacrificed Juelong Ding, and divided the demon fire into two sources. But this time, the feeling of anxiety was even stronger, and after several attempts without success, his face became a little gloomy.
The old man drank again and let Xuanye come out, and the expression on his face was extremely serious.
This was very different from what he originally thought, he originally thought that with the first experience, the second time would be much better.
Who would have thought that not long after entering the pool, Xuanye's qi would be chaotic, and before he started to cultivate, he would know the ending.
The master and apprentice went down the mountain again and returned to the cave.
Xuanye was silent all the way, sitting by the fire.
Until nightfall, the wind was bitterly cold.
It's a strange island, it's extremely hot during the day and extremely cold at night, and even freezes.
In one day, winter and summer were experienced.
Soon after nightfall, the muffled roar sounded again.
Xuanye looked at the dark sea, but his mind was thinking about today's failure. I don't understand in my heart, I have been successful many times, why can't I do it here? Is it really because you can't overcome the heat here?
Gradually, he seemed to have reached a dead end, and he kept thinking about why he failed. The more I think about it, the more anxious I become, and even if I come back to my senses, I can't shake off the thoughts in my happiness.
After struggling for a long time, Xuanye stepped out of the cave, let the cold wind blow on his face, and stared at the night with his eyes, in exchange for a brief lucidity.
With a burst of impact, the mountain trembled slightly.
He suddenly felt a tingling pain from the totem of his arm, and for some reason, a long-abandoned exercise suddenly appeared in his mind.
"Tian Yuan Gong..."
Xuanye muttered in a low voice, thinking of this exercise that had been practiced hard for seven years without any results. I gradually remembered the things I had experienced in these days, and although there were many setbacks, there were countless desperate moments.
But in the end, he is still getting stronger very smoothly, and even his cultivation has experienced two leaps and thousands of miles.
For Xuanye, who has experienced setbacks in the past seven years, it is that he has been suppressed for too long, and the path of cultivation behind him is too smooth, but he suddenly relaxed.
Now, the current frustration has turned into pressure, which will lead to a change in mentality.
Xuanye stroked the totem on his arm, remembering that Gu Mei'er had also said that it was not a good thing for him to enter the realm too quickly, maybe this is the truth.
Thinking of this, Xuanye took a deep breath, slowly closed his eyes, and immersed himself in the darkness.
