Chapter 2: Space in the Painting
Dawn breaks in the east, and the morning light is faint.
Cao Xiu shrunk his neck, avoiding the light shining on his face through the window lattice, and then slowly opened his eyes.
After he came to his senses, he only felt cold and weak, and his originally strong body was now swinging, and he would shiver a few times from time to time.
It's like a chick in the cold winter wax moon, and you can't help the wind!
But he survived in the end.
Thinking back to what happened last night, I couldn't help but secretly rejoice in my heart.
Fortunately, the treasure in the longevity lock saved his life at the critical moment, otherwise he would have been entangled by the female ghost again, but I am afraid that before dawn, his body will be completely cold!
As for the weakness of the body to such a point, it is because the female ghost has absorbed too much essence.
Even though he has cultivated the Pure Yang Boy Gong since he was a child, and his body is far stronger than ordinary people, he has not set foot in the otherworldly realm after all, and naturally he can't withstand the devouring of ghosts, and it is already a great blessing to be able to escape by luck.
"It turns out that there are really ghosts in this world!"
Thinking of the feeling that the yang energy in his body was on the verge of drying up and dying under the sucking of the female ghost, he was shocked and frightened.
Since he had an argument with someone a few months ago and accidentally injured his head, it made him break the mystery in the womb and awaken the memories of his previous life, and gradually accepted the fact that he was reborn.
Originally, he thought that this was just a world similar to ancient times, but with more martial arts cultivation, but when the female ghost really appeared in front of him, he knew that he was wrong.
It seems that although many of the absurd stories circulating in the market are exaggerated and false, many of them should have happened in real life, but he has not seen them with his own eyes before, so he doesn't believe it very much.
It wasn't until I experienced it myself that I knew it was dangerous.
But this is not to blame him, after all, the circle that he can contact at his age is not wide, even the family tradition of pure yang boy skill is also a martial arts foundation building method, although legend has it that as long as you cultivate to the consummation realm, you can rebel against the innate cultivation of pure yang body and embark on the road to immortality.
But this is only a legend after all, and I have not heard of any clansmen in the Cao family who have cultivated the Pure Yang Boy Gong to the fullest, but because of the ancestral training, the descendants of the Cao family have all laid the foundation with this exercise.
In fact, after trying to cultivate, most of the clansmen found that their cultivation was slow, and they basically switched to other methods early.
Otherwise, if you continue to cultivate with all your heart, and after you reach your seventies and eighties, what can you do even if you have practiced to the perfect realm?
No heirs, no descendants, lonely and miserable all your life?
If they really want to do it all, their old Cao family is afraid that there will be no descendants for a long time.
Therefore, even if the old lady of the Cao family who coincidentally obtained this exercise back then, that is, Cao Xiu's great-grandfather Cao Meng, the old master of the highly respected family, after more than 30 years of penance and pure yang boy gong felt hopeless to break through, he directly chose to break down.
It's just that the Cao family at that time was so poor that they couldn't afford to marry a daughter-in-law at all, and Cao Meng had no choice but to rub his neighbors.
But paper can't hold the fire, and if you do too much of this kind of thing, it will inevitably be discovered.
So Cao Meng was driven away by those neighbors back then, and he never dared to return to his original home.
But this old lady has quite a means, although the strength of the boy has been greatly reduced, but when he was young, he was dignified and able to speak, and his pure yang qi that has been cultivated for many years also makes him quite strong.
So I didn't know how to hook up with a rich and powerful little widow, and since then I have taken advantage of the situation, and after tasting the sweetness, I have made persistent efforts, married twelve rich and powerful widows, gave birth to nine sons and thirteen daughters, and created a big family business.
After so many years, the Cao family has become quite influential in the local area.
It's just that any family that has been passed down for several generations will inevitably have descendants.
Cao Xiu's vein is a branch of the Cao family's sideline.
Originally, he was doing well, but his father passed away a few years ago, and he was ostracized by his descendants because of some things, and his mother left the Cao family with her two sons in anger and lived in Jiangzhou City.
Cao Xiu curled himself up in the quilt, recalling the events of last night, and couldn't help but be curious.
Finally, he vaguely seemed to see a picture scroll flying into his eyebrows.
It's just that his body was too weak at that time, and he fell asleep directly after finding out that the female ghost was eliminated.
At this point he closed his eyes and focused his consciousness on his mind.
I thought that I hadn't advanced to the innate level, and I hadn't opened the ancestral aperture to cultivate my divine sense, so I couldn't see anything at all.
As a result, under his careful contemplation, he suddenly found that his ancestral aperture had been opened at some point, and he was able to mobilize his divine consciousness to look inward, and he also saw the picture scroll.
This made him happy in his heart, and he understood that it must have been this treasure map that opened up his ancestral trick when it escaped into his eyebrows.
At this time, the picture scroll was quietly suspended in the sea of knowledge, and at first glance it seemed that there was nothing unusual, it was a picture scroll two feet and four inches long, with mountains and rivers painted on it.
But just as he was about to concentrate all his attention on the scroll, he suddenly saw a flash in front of him.
Then, he saw a vast world.
As far as the eye can see, there is no sky, and as far as the eye can see, there are undulating mountains, and there seems to be a plain in the distance.
But when I looked closely, I noticed that there was desolation everywhere, and in some places even the peaks of the mountains had collapsed, the earth cracked, and the rivers dried up, as if there had been a man of God who had fought again and wanted to shatter this heaven and earth, and those who watched were terrified.
Cao Xiu was taken aback, and his mind returned instantly.
He looked at the picture scroll of mountains and rivers fixedly, and after careful comparison, he knew that the scene he had seen before was exactly the scene in the picture scroll.
"Could it be that this is a treasure similar to Nuwa Niangniang's Jiangshan Shejitu?"
Thinking of this, Cao Xiu's heart couldn't help but pound.
Just when he wanted to continue exploring, he suddenly felt a sense of fatigue in his mind, and a little tiredness rose.
Only then did I remember that although because of the treasure map, I opened up the ancestral aperture and opened up the sea of knowledge, but I did not practice the method of refining the gods, and the power of the divine soul was weak, so I naturally could not use it for a long time.
Anyway, the treasure map is hidden in the sea of his own knowledge, and others can't see it, so he is not in a hurry to explore it.
Thinking of this, he gave up the idea of continuing to probe with his divine sense, and instead thought, since his consciousness can enter it, can his own body also enter the world in the picture?
However, this will be discussed later, and the top priority is to recover as soon as possible.
Otherwise, with the way he is now, when his mother comes back, he won't be able to cultivate normally.
"Brother Xiu, Brother Xiu......"
At this moment, there was a sudden crackling sound outside, and someone knocked on the door.
Cao Xiu had the heart to get up, but his body was really weak, and he felt very cold as soon as he lifted the quilt, so he ignored it.
Soon, a young man outside climbed over the wall and came to the outside of his house: "Brother Xiu, open the door quickly!" ”
"Alas!"
Cao Xiu had no choice but to wrap himself in the quilt and get out of bed, trembling and opening the bolt, revealing a young man of his age outside.
The young man has a mediocre appearance and slightly dark skin, but his body is quite strong.
This is his good friend Chen Shi.
Seeing him like this, Chen Shi's eyes immediately widened and asked, "I heard Uncle Wang next door say that you brought back a woman from Baihualou last night, how did you make it look like this, this is too unrestrained." ”
"What nonsense?"
Cao Xiu glared at him, hurriedly ran back to the bed and lay down, and said, "You can believe his words, I met a female ghost last night and was entangled." ”
"I'll just say, you're certainly not that kind of womanizer!"
Chen Shi nodded, then frowned and said: "You are full of yang energy, ordinary lonely souls and wild ghosts should not dare to provoke you, why did you make it like this, could it be that you didn't resist the temptation......"
"Alright, don't talk nonsense!"
Cao Xiu fumbled at the head of the bed, took out a piece of broken silver from under the pillow and threw it to him: "I will go to Li Langzhong of Renxin Hall in a while to prescribe me a few pairs of medicines to nourish my body and make up for the loss of qi and blood, and get me a chicken again." ”
"Huh?"
Chen Shi's eyes widened when he heard this.
He glanced at Tu Wan with a strange look.
Didn't you be budded by a female ghost last night, and you know the taste of some marrow, and you can't wait to think about that kind of thing?
At that moment, his face was full of admiration: "Brother Xiu is hard, he has just been sucked by a female ghost at night, and now he still has such thoughts!" ”
"What do you think?"
Cao Xiu glared at him: "I'm asking you to get a chicken and come back to stew to make up for your body!" ”
This kid really doesn't have any eyesight, he's already like this, can he still do that kind of thing?
With his current physical condition, he can be called a sage in the nest, even if he stripped the Oiran of Baihualou and put him on bed, he would not be excited!
