Chapter 5: The Old Maniac's Scheme
The purpose of the old madman is as simple as it gets. He knew that he had hurt several people and that he would not live long. In the prison cell, he had no money to please the thief in front of him, and he had no backer to take care of him. Since the thief wants to practice the immortal law, it is better to give him some sweetness, and when the thief sees that he can't do anything, he will naturally dispel his thoughts. The old madman has the incense to teach the immortal cultivation method, and Chen Mo's thief will not do anything to him, so he can make his life better in a few moments.
As for the thief Chen Mo being able to practice qi into the body, the old madman doesn't count on it. Not to mention that it takes a long time to practice qi into the body, and it cannot be interrupted in the middle, let's just say that the current environment can allow the thief Chen Mo to hold Yuan Shouyi without distractions, it is simply impossible.
However, the sight in front of him still frightened the old madman. Although the old madman's dantian was abolished, after all, he was also an existence in the late stage of qi training, and he could still see the signs of qi training entering the body. In the short time when he couldn't get a pillar of incense, Chen Mo actually succeeded in practicing qi into his body.
Being able to practice qi and enter the body in such an environment, Chen Mo's talent can be imagined.
There are those who have the qualifications to cultivate immortals in the world, and it is not an exaggeration to say that there is one in ten thousand. There are only a few dozen people with a thousand immortal cultivation qualifications who can smoothly and smoothly cultivate to the late stage of qi cultivation. The old madman had also stayed in the Immortal Cultivation Sect, and he knew what a qualification like Chen Mo meant.
The old madman threw all the original intentions of Chen Mo behind, and just looked at Chen Mo in a daze.
Imperceptible aura surged from all directions, silently submerging into Chen Mo's body. The old madman observed for a long time, and finally woke up Chen Mo.
"Don't practice any more," the old madman stretched out his hand that was as thin as dry wood and brushed the withered hair in front of him, "If you continue to practice, it will do you more harm than good to your body." Sit up, sit up and let's talk. ”
Chen Mo looked at the old madman suspiciously, but he still did as he said.
"Tell me, what was it like to practice qi into the body just now?" The old madman whispered.
"Feelings? Itchy, numb, and my whole body was sore, but it was very comfortable," Chen Mo replied without thinking, "Is there a problem?" ”
"No," said the old madman, with an unprecedented smile on his face, "I read that right, you did. ”
"Really successful?" Chen Mo grinned with joy and smirked vigorously.
"Of course," the old madman pondered, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, "it worked, and I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing for you." ”
"How?" Chen Mo heard the old madman's words, and the smile on his face suddenly disappeared without a trace.
"The good thing is that it's amazing how good your qualifications are. At least, I have never seen anyone with the same qualifications as you," the old madman praised Chen Mo, but with a sigh.
"What about the bad things?" Chen Mo was so vigilant in his previous life. The leader praises you, you don't take it seriously, you have to pay attention to the "but" behind the leader's wording, once the "but" appears, that is what the leader really wants to express.
"But," the old madman changed his mind, and Chen Mo's heart was cold. Sure enough, I expected it.
"Master, please speak," Chen Mo stood up, bowed respectfully, and bowed to the old madman.
The old madman waved his hand, "Don't call me master, I don't have the ability to teach you anything." Seeing what Chen Mo was going to say, the expression on the old madman's face became serious, "Don't speak, squat down, and listen to me." ”
This is the prison house, and soldiers patrol by from time to time. As a jailer, Chen Mo has been here for a long time, and if he doesn't behave right, he will inevitably be looked at by people with a heart.
Chen Mo stopped talking and quietly listened to the old madman's story.
"The path of immortals is like a person climbing a dangerous peak. There is no qualification, not even the qualification to climb the mountain. The exercises are used to improve your strength, and without the exercises, you can't take a single step. But the immortal road still lies in the fact that people have backers. The predecessors taught that the way to cultivate immortals is to occupy the four words of wealth and law. The exercises are important, but at the forefront are wealth and couples. Without strong financial support, where can you repair? Do you think that you can cultivate the first four phases of Qi cultivation just by relying on the first four phases of Qi cultivation that I have taught you, sitting in the room? Without financial support, if you are given ten or twenty years, it will be difficult for you to cultivate to the third stage of Qi training, and this is still on the basis of taking into account your good qualifications, if you change people, it is impossible to even achieve the second stage of Qi training," the old madman said slowly.
"Wealth, is it silver?" Chen Mo can be described as a complete novice to cultivating immortals, he is completely ignorant. Chen Mo was wary of the old madman, otherwise, he would not have drugged the old madman's wine and let the old madman repeat the exercises.
As for calling the old madman a master, Chen Mo was only polite. He didn't think of the old madman as a master at all. Of course, the old madman was willing to talk to him a little more, and he was willing. After all, it is good for yourself to know more about the situation.
"Silver? What kind of garbage is silver? "The old madman laughed contemptuously.
Silver is garbage? How many truckloads of garbage did you bring to show me? Without silver as a backing, you can still drink wine and eat meat in prison? Chen Mo was slandered.
However, Chen Mo didn't write his disdain on his face, after all, people are now answering questions for themselves. Immortal knowledge is not a big road commodity on the street, it can be known by a person.
"Immortal cultivators don't use silver, they use spirit stones. Spirit stones can be used not only for trading, but also for cultivation when their own pills are insufficient. ”
"What does a spirit stone look like?" Chen Mo thought about it and asked.
"What does it look like?" The old madman also thought about it and shook his head, "The point is not what it looks like. By the way, what is this place? ”
"Moshan Prison," Chen Mo replied.
"I'm asking where is Moshan Prison?" The old madman was grumpy.
"Qingyang County."
"Qingyang County, Qingyang County? Qingyang County, I remember, this is the north of the Great Chu Kingdom, is there a mountain called Qiwu Mountain nearby? The old madman asked hurriedly.
Chen Mo shook his head and nodded again, "I don't know if it's the north of the Great Chu Kingdom, but there is indeed a place called Mountain nearby." "Chen Mo's understanding of the outside world comes entirely from the jailers and prisoners. In a sense, jailers are prisoners with longer sentences. The jailer didn't know much about the outside world, and it was impossible for the prisoner to give Chen Mo a local physics teacher and describe the entire continent to Chen Mo. In fact, maps have not yet appeared in this world. Even if Chen Mo wanted to know, others couldn't say it clearly and clearly.
"That's it. Qingyang County, I originally came to Qingyang County," the old madman sighed incessantly, "Where mortals stay, it is impossible for there to be spirit stones." Without spirit stones, you're a fart to practice. ”
Chen Mo was about to interject, but the old madman lost his temper again, "Without financial support, you can't practice." As for couples, don't even think about it. No sect of immortal cultivation will accept disciples whose whereabouts are unknown. You can't enter the immortal gate, you don't have a spirit stone, you only have the exercises of the first four phases of qi practice, and you are in a Qingyang County where the spiritual energy is thin, you have no way forward. ”
Chen Mo looked at the old madman suspiciously, "Couple, don't you mean women?" ”
The old madman glanced at Chen Mo and laughed strangely, "Couple means woman?" Which tells you? The fairy road is long and lonely, and it is indeed a beautiful thing to be accompanied by Taoist couples. But by couple, I mean your kind of people, and they are also friends who can discuss with you on the road and go on a treasure hunt. You are an ant in the first stage of Qi refining, like a child who has just learned to crawl on the ground, will any blind woman marry you? Foolish people talk about dreams, wishful thinking. ”
The old madman reprimanded Chen Mo while observing this kid with his eyes, to see what kind of behavior Chen Mo's thief would behave after he had dashed all his hopes.
If the performance is acceptable and can achieve half of his expectations, he will help this young jailer who has a lot of thoughts.
After listening to everything the old madman said, Chen Mo was thoughtful, he frowned, smiled, and then, Chen Mo asked a question that the old madman didn't expect.
"Master, you said a few times about the Qi cultivation period. Is cultivating immortals to the fourth stage of Qi cultivation? ”
"Who said that?" The old madman glared angrily, "What is practicing qi, for immortal cultivators, practicing qi is just getting started, building a foundation is laying the foundation to determine the direction, Jindan Zhenren has status, and Yuanying Ancestor can be regarded as having a real identity." Qi training, hehe, even if you cultivate to the ninth stage of Qi training, you are just an ant. ”
"How many phases did the master use to practice qi?" Chen Mo asked again.
"Qi training is divided into the late stage of junior high school, and every three periods is a period, and the old man is the late stage of Qi training," the old madman replied lightly. He is calm on the surface, but his heart is like a knife. It would be better if you were crazy and crazy like before, forget everything and forget yourself, and go on in a mess until you die of old age, and you will be considered to have lived your life.
Now that I have come to my senses, I realize that all kinds of things in the past are like knife wounds engraved in my heart, and it is so easy to lose them. As long as it hurts, it hurts into the bone marrow and into the heart.
Chen Mo stood up and quietly looked at the old madman for a while. His eyes, like looking at a monster, stared at the old madman, which made the old madman feel very unhappy.
Just when the old madman was about to speak, Chen Mo said lightly, "Since you have a plan, why don't you hang it out generously?" ”
"You?" The old madman categorically didn't expect Chen Mo to have such a sentence, and he couldn't help but be shocked in his heart. Is this thief so brave that he can see that he has other plans?
Without waiting for the old madman to continue, Chen Mo had already walked out of the prison and locked the door carefully, and then returned to the place where he and Du Xiaochi rested.
"Brother Chen, are you back?" Du Xiaochi greeted him, "Let's eat." ”
"Okay," Chen Mo replied, looking absent-minded.
