Chapter 8: Spirit Beasts
Shen Yue reconnected the handle and wrist with a branch, and looked inwardly at the Mud Pill Palace, and after a while, the green light flashed in his head, and a magic formula was miraculously reflected in his mind, and every word of the magic method was extremely clear, as if it were imprinted, which surprised Shen Yue.
He immediately studied it word by word, and the whole text was not long, more than 200 words, but there were many terms in it, and it was difficult to understand. Liu Ling explained patiently on the side, and the two gradually immersed themselves in the atmosphere of teaching and practicing, and before they knew it, it was midnight.
According to Liu Ling's explanation, what he taught Shen Yue was the Wood Spirit Qigong method of the Qi Dao. Qi Dao is different from Martial Dao, which mainly tempers itself and constantly tempers the body, naturally generating masculinity in the meridians around the body, and finally transcending life and death from the inside out.
The airway is also divided into eight grades, namely the first grade to build the foundation, the second grade to educate the gods, the third grade to tie the Dan, the fourth grade to the Yuan Infant, the fifth grade to move the sea, the sixth grade to move the sea, the seventh grade to the Dao He, and the eighth grade to cross the tribulation. Qi Dao cultivation is the opposite of martial arts, which requires the absorption and accumulation of the five elements of the aura from the outside world, and then forging itself from the outside in the later stage to reach the Tao and overcome the tribulation.
The basic method of the Muhua Sect passed on by Liu Ling is to perceive the spiritual energy of the wood genus that exists between heaven and earth, try to guide the spiritual energy into the body, and return to the sea of dantian qi through the operation of Zhou Tian, and gradually accumulate. The first step needs to transform the ethereal aura into a real and visible spiritual liquid, and the condensation of the spiritual liquid represents the success of the foundation building of a product.
In the process of understanding the formula, Shen Yue wondered if there were other exercises of the Five Elements Spiritual Qi such as gold, water, fire, and earth, and asked Liu Ling, who said that it did exist, but as the essence of the wood spirit, his understanding of other spiritual qi was far less profound than that of the wood spiritual energy. Liu Ling saw that Shen Yue was a little lost, and explained: "The multiple sect masters of the Muhua Sect who specialize in the Mu Sect can all reach the Seven Rank Dao Convergence Realm, so it can be seen that there is no need to cultivate everything, and you can become a master by specializing in one subject. ”
Shen Yue then put his mind at ease, and after making sure that he fully understood the method, he began to concentrate on cultivation. The wood is true and feels that we must be close to the grass and trees, and it is quite suitable to be in the wilderness at this time.
Liu Ling was not idle, constantly guiding Shen Yue to comprehend the vigorous aura of the flowers and trees in the outside world through his divine thoughts, and using the innate supernatural powers of his wood spirit body to guide the spiritual energy of the wood in the outside world to converge in the cave.
Shen Yue seemed to have merged into heaven and earth in meditation, turning into a seed, slowly and steadily absorbing nutrients from the outside world, and gradually taking root and sprouting.
After all, it was the first time to cultivate, and Shen Yue's concentration gradually became unstable, and Liu Ling did not forcibly guide him anymore, but helped him slowly collect his strength. Shen Yue settled down and found that although he didn't really feel the aura entering his body, his whole body was really full of vitality as in meditation.
Some of the wounds that were still painful were no longer felt, and although the cave was dim and impossible to see, he groped and found that the wounds had scabbed, which made him understand more deeply the "endless" nature of the wood spiritual energy in the formula.
Shen Yue groped his way to the entrance of the cave to check, the moonlight was softly swaying in the valley, the grass and trees were covered with a layer of clear light, and the occasional sound of insects chirping came, which was quite ethereal and refreshed.
Suddenly, a strange beast roar came, and Shen Yue suddenly felt his heart shake, and the insect chirping stopped abruptly. He steadied himself and looked over to the place where the roar had begun, and saw a small beast that looked like a wild cat leaping among the trees on the opposite hillside. The beast was rather strange, with a single eye on its forehead and three tails behind it, and its roar from time to time made people's hearts sway.
Shen Yue saw an introduction similar to a beast in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", and the book called this beast "Shen", and the characteristics described were one-eyed and three-tailed, but this was another world after all, and I didn't know if it was the same category, so he hurriedly asked Liu Ling.
Liu Ling said: "This thing is called 'Xuan', the first generation of Qi Yanghou likes spirit beasts very much, and once caught two of them and raised them in the mansion." ”
He suddenly thought of an interesting thing, covered his mouth and smiled: "This little guy's natural supernatural power is to shock the divine soul through roars, if you have not practiced or are unguarded, it is easy to follow its path. After Qi Yanghou was caught, the two little guys were wild and untamable, and they kept screaming every day, which made many people in the mansion unaware of their spirits and restlessness. Later, he could only be locked in a room with a soundproof formation, but Qi Yanghou was afraid that it would be stuffy, and he also released ventilation from time to time, and every time he came out, he still screamed, causing chickens and dogs to jump, and finally several Hou mansions next door couldn't stand it, and forced Qi Yanghou to get the two troublemakers away. ”
Shen Yue didn't realize what he said, and said in his heart: It's good to use this product to rectify people.
After jumping several times, he came to the side of the mountain stream, looked around quite alertly, and when he was sure it was safe, he leaned over and drank water, and his three tails wagged to and fro. After drinking the water, it did not leave directly, but quietly lay on the riverside and stared at the water, and suddenly roared, and a fish about a foot long directly turned over its belly and floated up, which should have been stunned. After picking up the fish, he quickly ran to the nearby tree and headed for the mountains.
Shen Yue shook his head and was blinded by the roar, prayed in his heart that this thing would not come back and roar non-stop, and after asking Liu Ling to cover his breath, he leaned against the cave wall and fell asleep.
This sleep was very sound, and the next day the day was already bright, Shen Yue slowly woke up, he said hello to Liu Ling, and went to the river with a knife to wash his face and wake up.
When I got out of the hole, I felt a little itchy on my body, and I opened my clothes to check, and found that the scabs of whether it were burns or whips had signs of falling off, and it was estimated that it would be fine in a day or two at most.
Shen Yue was very happy, went to the river to wash up, drank enough, then went back to the cave to pack up his things, and after taking a little healing medicine, he continued to go east.
He made up his mind to drill into the mountains: even if he encountered any fierce beasts, he could use Liu Ling to maneuver as much as possible, compared to those officials, fierce beasts were really nothing.
Fortunately, it was still late spring, and although the trees had flourished, the low shrubs and weeds had not yet spread in all directions, and Shen Yue could open a path in the mountains without much effort.
He deliberately avoided the path taken by the mountain people and marched along the mountain stream, during which he continued to discuss with Liu Ling the insights of last night's practice, and Liu Ling asked one and three questions, which benefited Shen Yue a lot, and he had a deeper understanding of the spiritual qi of the wood genus.
At noon, he slid down the slope to drink water and rest, when suddenly he heard the familiar cry from nearby, which was quite terrible. Strangely, the cry did not cause head discomfort, but he did not dare to slack off, tore two strips of cloth from his body, plugged his ears, and then carefully went to the place where the cry began.
