Chapter 19: The Method of Cultivation [Three-in-One Chapter]
Every time Shen Ning saw her, two words would inexplicably pop up in his heart.
Nine Heavenly Fairy, independent of the world.
Walking on the other side of the blooming flowers, Shen Ning thought about it, jumped up lightly, sat next to the woman, and looked at the bright moon in the distance.
The breeze was lonely, and there was a faint fragrance of flowers on her body, which made Shen Ning feel relaxed and happy, and the corner of her eyes looked at her quietly.
Her side face is delicate and fair, without a trace of flaw, like a delicate doll.
"What's your name?" After a long time, Shen Ning asked.
Unexpectedly, the woman did not reply.
Before coming, Shen Ning had made up his mind that no matter what, he would get the answer he wanted from the woman's mouth today, so he said to himself: "There is a problem with my cultivation, I can't absorb the Heaven and Earth Spirit Yuan, and the seed hidden in my body replaces the role of the Spirit Yuan." I know that the black qi contained in the seed is limited, and it needs to devour the deceitful god to be able to continue to improve, so what was the purpose of Dao Ancestor leaving this seed in the first place? Is it so that the person who obtains it will fight with the god? ”
A series of Shen Ning asked many questions, but the woman in red still didn't react, if it weren't for her choppy breasts, which were still slightly undulating, it would be difficult for people to think that she was still alive.
"If you don't answer me, I'll stay in this world forever until I die." Shen Ning played a scoundrel, "Although I don't know the reason for the existence of this world, but Dao Ancestor left the breathing method and black seeds here, he definitely won't want to see me die here who inherited these, anyway, I have lost my qualification to practice, and there is no point in living in the outside world." ”
Hearing Shen Ning's utterly rotten words, the woman in red finally reacted, her voice seemed to come from above the Nine Heavens, beautiful and beautiful, "It's called Nether Flame." ”
Nether Tinder?
She was talking about the black seed in her body, and the name matched it very well.
"I've lived for a long, long time, forgotten a lot of things, and when I woke up, I saw you who came here."
When I remembered the first time I saw the woman in red, her eyes were as clean and clear as a newborn baby.
She spoke quietly, her flat voice without any emotional waves, but Shen Ning felt the desolation of eternity, and her heart was inexplicably a little uncomfortable.
"I didn't remember until I entered the world of Zebjax again." The woman in red paused and continued, "I should have died for no reason, this thought seems to have popped out of my heart. ”
"You know a lot about the gods?"
Seeing that the woman in red was willing to communicate with her, and thinking of the other side flower she manipulated, it was like a nightmare in the world of Zebujaks, Shen Ning seized the opportunity to ask.
Unexpectedly, the woman in red shook her head, "I don't know, it's just that my heart is guiding me to do this, as if it were instinct."
"Instinctive?"
Shen Ning muttered softly, the woman in red's answer didn't seem to have much useful information, but he was able to extract the most valuable things from it.
The woman in red must be related to the Dao Ancestor, thousands of years ago or even longer, the Dao Ancestor had already sensed the existence of the Trick God, and it was very likely that she had fought with the Trick God at that time, and the woman in red must have confronted the Trick God with the Dao Ancestor.
It's just that maybe he was defeated, or maybe because of other reasons, Dao Ancestor disappeared after leaving the Netherfire and Breathing Method in this world.
But as a companion of Dao Ancestor, she lost her memory for some reason, and remained forever in this world where there was no day.
At present, being able to obtain this information has greatly exceeded Shen Ning's expectations, but the most important thing on this trip has not yet been answered, and that is the question about his own cultivation.
"What do you remember about Nether Tinder?" Shen Ning continued to ask.
The woman in red thought for a long, long time before she replied, "I don't know where it came from, and I don't know anything about it. But I can feel that it's a good thing to have it, and it seems to have something to do with me. ”
"Because it doesn't feel the fluctuating spirit element between heaven and earth, it seems that I have lost the possibility of continuing to improve my cultivation." Shen Ning said the biggest problem of this trip, "Is it possible for me to continue my cultivation?" ”
The woman in red didn't answer, she conjured a jade flute in her hand, her red lips were close to the jade flute, and the melodious sound of the flute was particularly beautiful in this lifeless world.
When the sound of the flute sounds, the flowers on the other side open one after another, and the rich red fragrance materializes and wafts between heaven and earth.
At this time, Shen Ning noticed that the Netherfire Flame was beginning to stir, and with a movement in his mind, he began to operate the breathing method.
At this moment, the red aroma seeped into his body from Shen Ning's skin as if it had been pulled, and then slowly converged into the flame of humor.
With the infiltration of more and more red gas, Shen Ning could clearly feel his ascension, if he looked at the cultivation level of Lingyuan, he was very likely to have reached the Chaoxia Realm by now, and he was only one step away from the next realm, the Spirit Realm.
The cultivation realm of the Great Jin is clear and clear, and it is not complicated.
Except for some special sects, such as the Five Ghost Sect, the Sword Sect, and the Puppet Master, their systems are different.
The cultivation realm of monks who practice magic is roughly as follows:
Mengtong asks the Dao realm, which is the first to enter the path of cultivation, and then the Chaoxia realm, the spiritual realm, the Xuan realm, the heavenly Xuan realm, and the Dao realm.......
The Chaoxia Realm can be regarded as the initial entry into the door of magic practice, and can use some basic spells, while the Spirit Realm is the spell that begins to precipitate its own cultivation, and the difficulty of cultivation in the future will also be greatly increased, just like a moat.
A situation like Shen Ning's going straight from the Dao Realm to the peak of the Chaoxia Realm in just one month is rare, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a proud son of heaven.
After these red gases entered the Nether Flame, they were transformed into spiritual elements shaped like black flames, which flowed through Shen Ning's whole body.
One Sunday. Two Sundays......
Every time he ran the breathing method, Shen Ning could feel a significant improvement, and the spirit yuan that escaped from the red flower seemed to be inexhaustible, becoming more and more intense.
When the woman in red stopped playing, Shen Ning slowly stopped practicing.
He tried to follow the method of "Spirit Flame Duel", condensing the substance of the artifact, and a sword emitted more flames than before.
If he met that wild god in Nanxiang again at this time, Shen Ning would be very sure that he would be able to pierce its true body!
"It does not come from your world, so it will exclude the spirit elements in your world." The woman in red frowned, as if she remembered something, "When it has absorbed enough of the dependents of the treacherous gods, it seems to wake up, and this rejection becomes extremely obvious. Now you can only absorb the strange aura of the transformation of the deceitful gods, and you are different from other cultivators. ”
Absorbing the aura of the gods, different from other cultivators?
Shen Ning smiled bitterly, his guess was not wrong, this Netherworld Flame was very targeted at the Evil God, and it was very likely that it was the treasure that the Dao Ancestor left to try to deal with the Evil God.
So what is it? Daozu's experiment?
He clearly knew what it meant that he could only rely on the Netherfire to practice in the future, which meant that he was an outlier among the cultivators, and once this secret was known by other cultivators, he might be used as the coordinates of the gods, and the hundred schools of immortal sects would be removed.
Thinking of this, Shen Ning decided on the next move, he had to go to the Hidden Scripture Pavilion of the Heavenly Master's Mansion first to see if he could find a way to hide the strange aura.
Shen Ning patted his buttocks, got up and asked, "Can I still come to you to cultivate in the future?"
The woman in red manipulated the flowers on the other side to devour a lot of dependents in the world of Zebujaks, so the mysterious aura of the flowers on the other side was so strong.
After getting the look of the woman in red who had no objections, Shen Ning smiled, "You don't know what your name is, but you have to have a name, if you have no opinion, you can call it Qingyue, after all, you like the bright moon in the sky so much." ”
After Shen Ning left, the woman in red said in a daze: "Qingyue, what a familiar name." ”
......
......
After the disciples of the Heavenly Master's Mansion stepped into the Dao realm, they could go to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion to get a copy of the combat techniques or spells that suited them and use them as their future cultivation path.
Shen Ning's "Spirit Flame Duel" was a combat skill that Ying Xianhui found from the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion in the royal family, so he didn't use the opportunity to find a spell in the Heavenly Master's Mansion Tibetan Scripture Pavilion.
The choice of combat skills is that the spirit element is insufficient, so it is selected to enchant the weapon to increase the combat power.
But now Shen Ning obviously doesn't need to practice combat skills anymore, what he needs is a spell that can make people not perceive the strange aura in his body, and it is best to be able to forge a spell that can be transformed into a spirit element.
This kind of magic is biased towards illusion, and the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion of the Heavenly Master's Mansion is all-encompassing, and it is the most complete place in the world except for the Imperial Hidden Scripture Pavilion and the Tsing Yi Si Secret Pavilion.
Shen Ning wasn't worried that he wouldn't be able to pick a suitable technique, if he really couldn't, winning Immortal Hui was also a good way out.
Shen Ning suddenly realized that he seemed to be able to rely on Ying Xianhui to eat soft rice for a lifetime...... No, no, no, he is just a simple bad stomach and needs to eat something soft.
The Scripture Pavilion is a seven-story attic, and according to the disciple's cultivation, you can enter different floors to choose your spells.
"Before the crown, I have already cultivated the Dao realm, but I am still diligent and hardworking."
Guarding the first floor of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion was a white-bearded old man, who grew up watching the disciples of the Heavenly Master's Mansion, and was recognized as the most amiable of the seven guardians of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion.
Seeing that the old man was looking through the previous records, Shen Ning secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he usually came to the Hidden Scripture Pavilion to select spells, and he also needed to use spirit stones to test whether he had reached the level.
Fortunately, he had come to do the test when he first stepped into the realm of asking, and he never had time to choose after that.
However, when he saw the time of Shen Ning's test, the old man's beard shook and he asked scoldingly: "Stinky boy, you have already reached the cultivation of the Dao realm a few months ago, why did you come to choose combat skills at this time, these days are not wasted?" ”
"Grandpa Xu, I'm ......." Shen Ning was a little embarrassed, before he finished testing the realm and making a record, Win Xianhui found the "Spirit Flame Decision" created by Emperor Taizu Gao, and with the principle of being greedy and chewing too much, he didn't come to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion to select combat skills, but Xu Song thought that he was not doing his job, and after hesitating, he still said honestly: "Xianhui selected a book of combat skills for me, and I have been practicing these days, and I only came back from the demon removal in Nanxiang a few days ago." ”
"Win Xianhui..... Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess. "Ying Qin and Ying Xianhui have often come to the Heavenly Master's Mansion since they were children, Xu Song naturally knows, he glanced at Shen Ning meaningfully, and his tone softened a lot, "It's good that there is no wasted time, you must know that my generation of cultivators pay attention to the accumulation of time and progress. Tell me what kind of spell you want to choose. ”
Xu Song didn't ask Shen Ning what combat skills he needed, because one thing like combat skills was enough, and magic was the core of a cultivator, so he directly gave up the choice of combat skills for him.
Shen Ning didn't hesitate to tell Xu Song that he needed illusion spells.
"On the third row of bookshelves by the window, pick and choose for yourself." Xu Song pointed to the neatly arranged bookshelves in the Scripture Pavilion.
Shen Ning followed the direction he pointed to find the bookshelf with the illusion spell and began to choose.
Because most of the first floor is the place where the disciples of the Dao Realm and the Chaoxia Realm select combat techniques, most of the combat techniques placed here are few combat techniques, and the lethality of illusion as a frontal fighting spell is too small, so there are very few books on illusion on the first floor.
However, because of the lack of lethality, the illusion here is more inclined to siege, escape, and camouflage, but follows Shen Ning's wishes.
If it is like the kind of lethal illusion that cultivates Zi Fu Lingyue, I am afraid that you have to go up to the third floor of the Hidden Scripture Pavilion.
""Ghost Technique" is too biased and controls the minds of others, and it is not very in line with ......."
""Three Feet of Heaven and Earth", besieging the illusion technique, you don't need ......"
""Bright Moon and Clear Breeze", the ..... of escape illusions."
Shen Ning flipped through the illusion books one by one, his brows furrowed slightly, after watching the kung fu of the two pillars of incense, he didn't see any illusions about the type of camouflage, when he looked at the last few books, his eyes lit up, ""Vision", everything that is thought of is false, and everything that is seen is an illusion.... ”
After reading it, Shen Ning probably understood the meaning, to put it simply, it was to rely on Lingyuan to cast a layer of illusion on himself, so as to disguise himself as various creatures or items to achieve the purpose of deceiving others, and of course, he could also disguise the deceitful aura as Lingyuan.
Of course, this illusion also has chicken ribs, and it can't be hidden from the investigation of people with a heart, even if it is a person with a lower cultivation level than himself, he can easily see through it under intentional exploration, and it feels more like a trick, just to change what others see, not to change the essence.
However, this is just enough for Shen Ning to use at present, and he thinks that no one will be idle to probe his spirit yuan.
The ancient books of magic that were taken away still had to be returned after practice, and after making a simple registration at Xu Song's place, Shen Ning left the Scripture Pavilion.
"Stinky boy, backed by gold and silver!" Xu Song remembered that there were many disciples in the Heavenly Master's Mansion, and only Shen Ning had a good relationship with the eldest princess, so he couldn't help but shake his head and smile, and then looked down at the spells taken away from Shen Ning's record, and said with emotion:
"This technique is still good, and it is not a problem to cultivate to the point where Dacheng blinds the heavens, but unfortunately, the disciples over the years have not had this talent, so naturally they can't see the mystery in it......"
Leaving the Scripture Pavilion, Shen Ning began to practice, and according to the records on the book, he began to manipulate the strange aura to camouflage the table.
A strange aura covered the table, and there was no change, and after repeated attempts, when the table turned into a bench in front of Shen Ning, his face showed a touch of joy.
Running the breathing method and cooperating with the cultivation method of "Vision", after striking out with one palm, it turned into a pure white spirit element, and Shen Ning breathed a sigh of relief.
Although this palm looked like a spirit element, it was still burning in the deep pit on the ground according to the habits of the Nether Flame.
"Change its shape, not its quality." Although he had expected it, Shen Ning was inevitably a little disappointed, if he could change his quality, this technique would be excellent.
The cultivation of "Vision" is extremely simple, and Shen Ning has already mastered the basic use of just half a pillar of incense, and can arbitrarily change the appearance of some items.
The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled at the gate of the courtyard, and Shen Ning felt hungry in his stomach, so he went out to find Gu Yanwu.
On weekdays, I always feel cold and lonely when I eat alone, how can I have such a meal partner as Gu Yanwu, the atmosphere is finally a lot warmer.
Gu Yanwu is in a very good mood now, he went to the Tsing Yi Division to receive the reward, exchanged the original reward for seven hundred taels of silver tickets, and then left the Tsing Yi Division with a smile in the eyes of the gatekeeper of the Tsing Yi Division looking at the fool.
Seven hundred taels was not a small amount, and it brought him one step closer to the goal of rebuilding the sect.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that I was injured, and gave me a copy of the Tsing Yi Division's technique, so that I could practice it these days, and he would naturally summon me when I needed it." Gu Yanwu nibbled on the chicken legs, glanced at Shen Ning, who was eating Xiang Siwen, subconsciously slowed down his movements, and asked, "What arrangements do you have for the next few days?" ”
Shen Ning ordered a braised spring roast, a thick sauce bean marinade, poured on a thin slice of meat, and then paired with various colors of tofu, coriander, and ginger supplemented with seasoning, it looks full of color and flavor, and when you bite into it, the fresh brine makes the tender meat melt in your mouth, making people reluctant to speak at all.
When the food was almost over, Shen Ning replied: "Tomorrow is Xianhui's and Xuan, I should be with her." ”
"Hehe, I was still envious when I heard you mention this two days ago, but the more I thought about it later, the more wrong it became." Gu Yanwu gnawed a chicken leg cleanly, with a translucent luster, smashed it, and reminded: "The princess is not so easy to marry, if you have a half-official position, it's fine, but it's a pity that you have no background, and your strength is just that, maybe the emperor will pick you up." ”
Of course, Shen Ning also knows this, the wood is already in the boat, and now all he can do is take one step at a time.
After dinner, Shen Ning was already a little tired after a day's rest, and it happened that Gu Yanwu had just come to Shenjing City and had not been to many places, so the two planned to travel to Shenjing at night together.
As it gets late, the bustling crowd gradually disperses, indicating that this ancient town is about to usher in its own quiet night.
There is a street in Shenjing City, called Flower Street, when night comes, when the Flower Street is lit up, the beautiful girls will pinch handkerchiefs, throw flattering eyes, and hold up quite seductive breasts, confusing passers-by who originally did not have those ideas, so that they can walk into the gentle embrace and into their warm bodies.
Of course, the price is more expensive than in other places.
Shen Ning swore that he definitely didn't have the idea of taking Gu Yanwu to visit Flower Street, as for why he came to Flower Street at this moment, it was purely because he rarely left the Heavenly Master's Mansion, and he was really unfamiliar with the streets of Shenjing City, and he came to this street purely because it was brightly lit and looked lively.
"The guest officer is here to play!" The old bustard standing at the door waved the mandarin duck handkerchief in his hand, and a rich rouge air came to his face.
Shen Ning pulled Gu Yanwu with a dark face, and wanted to leave here quickly.
Gu Yanwu looked indifferent, greeting the girls with a smile, not caring about his identity as a cultivator.
Leaving Huajie, Gu Yanwu still looked reluctant, turned his head frequently, and sang: "At that time, I was young and green in a shirt, riding a horse and leaning on the sun, and I was full of red mansions. ”
"You're quite a poet." Shen Ning was faint.
"I used to beg for food everywhere in Nanxiang, and there was an old show who saw that I was clever and led me to study in a private school for a few years, without charging me money or restraint, so that I could read for a few years and know a few children, and singing a few lines of poetry was nothing. Now that I think about it, Lao Xiu is a very good person. Gu Yanwu sighed.
"And then?" Shen Ning asked.
"Dead."
“……”
"When he died, no student went to see him, and the poor family was left with a roll of straw mats." Gu Yanwu's face couldn't be seen clearly in the night, and his thin back was a little sluggish, "I was greedy, so I wrapped him in a straw mat, and I didn't notify anyone, there was no one to inform, so I hastily buried him in a mass grave in the suburbs. ”
"Later, I learned to be smart, and when I buried people, I dug the pit bigger, and the bigger the better." Gu Yanwu suddenly showed a shy smile at Shen Ning, but it was just a great contrast with his image. "When will I dig one for you?"
Shen Ning said angrily: "Get out." ”
"Holo."
There is not much difference in the temperament of the two of them, even if Gu Yanwu has no taboos, they can get along very well.
The cold wind was blowing on the streets, as if urging those who had not yet gone home to go home.
Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves broke the quiet night, and from the west gate of the city, several guards in armor galloped into the city, and the sound of horses' hooves was deafening.
"Get out of the way!" The leader of the general, dressed in dark armor, raised his horsewhip to drive away pedestrians.
When Shen Ning saw this scene, he moved extremely quickly, pulling a few children on the side of the road aside to save them from the pain of flesh and skin.
"Who are these people?" Gu Yanwu frowned.
Shen Ning glanced at their decorations and said solemnly: "Xuanjiawei, it seems that something big has happened." ”
