Chapter 16: The Spirit of the Earth

In October, it snowed heavily in the country.

Jiang Sibai's thatched hut stands on the shore of an inlet that draws water, and two steps out of the house can lead to an excellent fishing spot, which allows him to hook and fish during the winter farming slack.

Fishing in winter is a technical job, and fish in winter don't like to move, so find a place where the water is relatively gentle.

Jiang Sibai is just like this wearing a coat and a hat to fish in the wind and snow, just like a picture of 'fishing in the cold river'.

The big white fox shrank in the house to keep warm, and shouted from afar: "Big apprentice, haven't you fished yet?" ”

Jiang Sibai responded from afar: "It's only two of them, wait for me to catch another one." ”

The big white fox asked strangely, "Have we eaten enough for the two of us?" ”

Jiang Sibai said: "Teacher Dabai, Master one, and I have to fish one for my little sister." ”

Dabai asked, "What about yourself?" ”

Jiang Sibai said: "It depends on whether Teacher Dabai is willing to share a little bit with me." ”

The big white fox showed that he couldn't do anything about him, and then said, "Then you must pick the biggest one for us!" ”

Jiang Sibai nodded clearly.

Then his hand sank, and he slammed the hook, and it was a large fat carp that jumped up from it.

"Haha, it's just right for this fish to be given to Master, and the bigger snakehead will be eaten by the two of us."

The snakehead is the black fish.

In fact, if you call Jiang Sibai, you must think that black fish is delicious, after all, sauerkraut fish, boiled fish or something are old.

It's a pity that there are no good seasonings now, so I can't make this kind of cooking.

And the carp has a good status in this era, and if the nobles give gifts to their elders, it is a matter of face to be able to give a carp.

Jiang Sibai carried his catch and quickly cleaned it up by the water.

Of course, the carp that was going to be given to Master was well tied.

The fish for the Autumn Frost Fairy and the fish he and Dabai ate together were all scraped with scales and gutted.

He then went to the fire pit and set up a clay pot to cook one of the smaller snakeheads.

The big one was skewered with a tree trunk and roasted by the fire.

Sprinkled with sea salt, a specialty of Kikoku, this grilled fish gradually tasted.

When it was almost over, the big fox could not sit still at all, and with his paws he tore half of the fish down, and when his mouth was closed, he began to eat with a sigh.

Jiang Sibai also ate slowly.

He didn't eat much, just a quarter of a fish and was full.

As he began to breathe in the breath of heaven and earth to the sun, it seemed that he was eating less and less.

In the end, the remaining grilled fish also fell into the stomach of the big white fox, and it was satisfied.

"Stupid apprentice, your pot of fish has been paused for so long, it's time to rot, right?"

Jiang Sibai said unhurriedly: "No hurry, no hurry, just right." ”

As he spoke, he removed the crockpot from the fire, and poured it out on a clean table in the room.

Accompanied by some thick juice, then the fish is stewed and deboned.

He took out the bones and set them aside, then searched for the bones in the remaining flesh, digging through every spot before placing the rotten fish in another small crockpot.

The big white fox looked at Hache next to him, and when he was done, he asked, "What is this doing?" ”

Jiang Sibai said: "Of course, I want to make some surimi for Qiu Niang, just eating milk is no longer full, and I need to add some supplementary food." ”

The big white fox asked blankly, "Isn't that rice cereal to eat?" ”

Jiang Sibai said: "That's right, but it's not enough. ”

He didn't say anything about the concept of 'nutrition', and he had to explain it when he could.

When everything was ready, he went out with the crockpot and a carp in his hand.

He also turned his head and said, "Teacher Dabai, do you want to go with you?" ”

The well-fed and well-fed big fox lazily occupied his bed and said, "Such a big snow is too lazy to move, go yourself." ”

Jiang Sibai also went out by himself with his things.

Walking outside, he looked for a feeling.

True Qi diffused from his chest, and soon connected with the earthly aura hidden under the snow under his feet.

Then he took a step, and when he reappeared, he was already three miles away!

Shrink the ground into inches!

He was able to give it a try.

However, because he was a beginner, he walked a little 'deep and shallow'.

Sometimes it's three or four miles in one step, and sometimes it's a foot away.

Anyway, he's going to have to get used to it.

So Jicheng went to Baiyi fifty miles, and it was just a dozen steps away.

Jiang Sibai stood in front of the gate of the Seeking Dao Palace, took off his hat and said to the guards at the gate: "Jiang Sibai, a disciple of the Mo Daoist, come to ask for a teacher." ”

The two guards looked startled and quickly got out of the way.

Jiang Sibai smiled kindly at the two guard brothers so that they didn't have to be nervous, and then walked quickly into the Seeking Dao Palace and walked all the way to the side hall.

"Xiaobai, why are you here?"

Who knew that before he arrived at the side hall, Jiang Sibai saw a 'snowman' greeting him in the snow in the palace.

He hurriedly ran over and said, "Master, why are you staying here alone?" ”

The old Taoist priest said helplessly: "It's too noisy over there, and there are many women, I really can't stand it as a teacher." ”

Jiang Sibai suddenly understood, it should be the Autumn Frost Fairy and her nurse who disturbed the old Taoist's cultivation.

Looking at Mo Shangdaoren's face again, Jiang Sibai obviously found that this loving face seemed to be wrinkled.

He suddenly remembered what Da Bai said, Mo Shang Daoist was already more than three hundred years old, and he relied on the authentic Qi cultivation technique of Xuanmen to support these lifespans.

Now Qiu Niang is living in this Taoist Palace, which not only makes the old Taoist priest not rest, but also makes him not have much time to meditate and practice......

Jiang Sibai secretly pondered in his heart, then picked up his teacher, and then said, "Master, what do you think I brought you?" ”

Mo Shangdao had already seen the carp in his hand, so he stroked his beard and smiled: "You kid, come and see me, how can you bring gifts." ”

"Such a big carp, it's not easy to catch it in the cold weather."

Jiang Sibai shook his head and said: "It's just a morning's work, not only the master, but also the teacher and the disciples have already eaten, and even the disciples have prepared surimi for Qiu Niang." ”

The old Taoist priest said, "Let's go, go in and see Qiu Niang." ”

"By the way, do you have any questions about your cultivation during this time?"

Jiang Sibai said: "Master answered my question once a day before yesterday, or the "Fuguang Fengshi Chapter" is not too well understood, I'm afraid I will have to wait until the autumn of next year to understand it well." ”

"It's the more I read the "Kunyu Houde Chapter", the more I feel the deep meaning, but many words are finally missing some personal experience, maybe I will have more experience when I walk around in the future."

Mo Shangdao said with a smile when he heard this: "You can have this experience, when you come, you should have used the shrinkage of the ground into inches, right?" ”

Jiang Sibai nodded.

Lao Dao asked again: "How is it, how does it feel to make the Earth Spirit Qi for the first time, but you can still take advantage of it?" ”

Jiang Sibai asked in surprise, "Earth Spirit Qi?" ”

Lao Tao said: "It's the 'earth' in the book, strictly speaking, it should be called 'earthy', but it's just changed to 'earth' because it doesn't sound good." ”

"You must know that everything has five elements, and the qi of the five elements is the principle of the operation of heaven and earth, but if the cultivator exerts influence with his own will, then the qi of the five elements that is affected has a 'spirit', which is generally called 'aura'."

"And we wait for the imperial aura to have an effect, and that is spiritual power."

Jiang Sibai finally understood how a cultivator should fight.

It's no wonder that he didn't lose much true qi all the way just now, it turned out that he was already unknowingly using his spiritual power.
