Chapter 42: Closed-Door Cultivation
Early the next morning, the news of Pei Chen's arrest spread all over the streets.
Many people in the rivers and lakes sighed, all of whom felt sorry for Pei Chen.
Li Chouxin and Zhang Xiaopan also knew the news, Li Chouxin looked solemn, and Zhang Xiaopan was anxious.
"Master! What should I do now? Brother Pei will be beheaded in ten days, and I must save him. ”
"Xiao Pan, the teacher knows that you are in a hurry, but to save him at this time is tantamount to throwing yourself into a net, not to mention that since this Gao Bishan can catch your big brother Pei, there must be a master around to help you, and now your ability is still lacking, don't be impatient for the time being, don't do unwise acts."
Li Chou saw Zhang Xiaopan's anxious appearance, for fear that Zhang Xiaopan's brain would be hot and he would do something stupid.
"Then we don't care about Brother Pei?"
Li Chou thought for a while and said, "The management is to be managed, and now the top priority is to improve the cultivation in these only ten days, and then you and I, the master and apprentice, may be able to save Pei Chen." ”
After listening to Li Chouxin's words, he nodded, but this cultivation is not something that can be achieved overnight, and he is still anxious in his heart.
"That's it, Xiao Pan, you start cultivating behind closed doors from today, and try your best to use the second layer of the Mind Attraction Technique within these ten days, and then cooperate with the three thousand feet of Feiliu for the teacher, then you will have a chance of winning." Li Chou said.
Li Chou knew that these days, Zhang Xiaopan had not been able to have enough time to cultivate, but this intermittent cultivation could practice the exercises of the first layer of the sword day and the first layer of the heart technique, according to Zhang Xiaopan's talent, it should be no big problem to cultivate this second layer and the second sword within ten days, as long as no one disturbs, maybe it won't take ten days.
Zhang Xiaopan understood what Li Chou meant, and said, "Don't worry, Master, Xiao Pan will definitely succeed." ”
Li Chouxin walked to Zhang Xiaopan's side, put his hands on Xiao Pan's shoulders, and said earnestly: "Xiao Pan, remember!" You can't be impatient in this cultivation, you have to calm down and follow the steps, otherwise you will only hurt your meridians and go crazy, you must throw away foreign objects, and have no distracting thoughts, so that you can save Brother Pei. ”
Zhang Xiaopan listened to Pei Chen's words, his impatient heart gradually calmed down, he understood Li Chouxin's worries, and also understood what Li Chouxin said, and then said calmly: "Master, the apprentice understands, he will definitely cultivate with peace of mind, and he will definitely succeed within ten days." ”
"That being the case, the teacher also has to retreat, if you can comprehend the third layer or the Milky Way falling for nine days, all problems will be solved." Li Chou said.
At this time, Zhang Xiaopan seemed to think of something, took out the flying elephant trick left by Pei Chen from his arms, and said to Li Chouxin: "Master, why don't you also take a look at this flying elephant trick, maybe it will also help you, Xiao Pan has now practiced this trick, but he is not skilled enough, if the master also practiced, it will definitely be a hundred times more powerful than before." ”
Li Chou knew that the domineering of this flying elephant trick coincided with the sword path he cultivated, but this flying elephant trick was left by Pei Chen to Zhang Xiaopan, if he cultivated it himself, it would be a little bad, so he wanted to refuse Zhang Xiaopan.
Zhang Xiaopan saw Li Chouxin's doubts and said: "Master, the apprentices are doing this in order to rescue Brother Pei more confidently, now is the very time, I believe that Brother Pei will not care, Master will listen to Xiao Pan." ”
Li Chouxin hesitated, but still took Zhang Xiaopan's flying elephant trick, and told Zhang Xiaopan: "You must remember what the teacher just said, you can't rush for quick success, you must meditate and cultivate." ”
Zhang Xiaopan nodded and walked towards the room, closing the door.
Li Chou Xin explained the Qin Yin behind him: "In the past few days, I have been bothering my two sisters to protect the Dharma outside, don't let foreign affairs disturb our master and apprentice retreat, and when the time comes, I will save Pei Chen, and my brother will treat your sisters well." After Li Chouxin finished speaking, he kissed the two girls on the face, and then walked into his room to start cultivating.
Li Chou thought back to what Zhang Xiaopan said just now, and recalled the domineering power on Zhang Xiaopan's body when he first met Zhang Xiaopan, and did not rush to start cultivating the Mind Attraction Technique and comprehending the third sword, but opened the Flying Elephant Trick given by Zhang Xiaopan and realized it.
It turned out that this Flying Elephant Trick was really an extremely domineering internal strength method, and Li Chouxin, who looked at the Flying Elephant Trick, realized that what Zhang Xiaopan had exerted was only one-twelfth of the true power of this Flying Elephant Trick, and he would have to give him a good guide in the future.
He also began to cultivate according to the cultivation method of the Flying Elephant Jue.
Sitting cross-legged, his eyes are lightly closed, the true qi gathers, and the eight veins of the whole body are strange from the outside to the inside, and they are gathered in the dantian.
Li Chouxin continued to cultivate, feeling that those true qi filled every meridian of his body, but there was no stagnation, and the true qi circulated around him like blood, flowing into the dantian and flowing out from the dantian, and it was never cut off, no wonder Xiao Pan's strength was like an inexhaustible one, it turned out that as long as he cultivated this flying elephant technique, the true qi in his body would be endless, and the further he went, the more domineering he became.
Li Chouxin also had to admire his cultivation talent, and he practiced the flying elephant trick in just one morning, which can be regarded as a preliminary mastery of the mystery of this trick, but if he wants to become a great success, he still needs to accumulate cultivation over time to reach the highest level of the flying elephant, the power of the ten elephants, and now he only has the power of three elephants at most, Zhang Xiaopan is worse than himself, and he should only have the power of one or two elephants, but for the fourteen-year-old Zhang Xiaopan, he is really a genius.
Li Chou couldn't wait to fuse the power of this flying elephant with the flying stream of three thousand feet, try the power, and then adjust his breathing, urging the power of the flying elephant to point at the three feet three on the table, only to see that the three feet three suddenly stood proudly in the air, Li Chouxin relied on his own mind and fingers shook again, and the three feet three instantly turned into three thousand sword blades, filling the entire room, and the power on each sword shadow was several times stronger, Li Chouxin shook his fingers again, and the three thousand sword shadows emitted a sword sound, and even the items in the room were about to be unable to resist the power of this sword sound.
Seeing this, Li Chou knew that if this sword was swung out, its power would be extraordinary, and it would be several times better than before, and suddenly sighed at the wonder of this flying elephant trick, if it goes on like this, even if this third sword galaxy falls for nine days, it is no longer difficult to save people.
However, Li Chou also wanted to take this opportunity to try, recalling that his master Chang Geng Sword Immortal said that the third sword needs a strong internal force as the foundation to be able to urge, so he tried to urge according to the sword move, but he didn't expect that under the blessing of this flying elephant trick, there was a faint sign of success, but in his own consciousness, the sword was swung out, only the sky cracked a hole, but there was no sword intent like the water of the heavenly river, but since it can tear the opening, it means that it is not far from the third sword of Shenwu, and now only his own true qi is not enough to control this sword, It seems that you still have to work this third layer of the heart trick, as long as the third layer is mastered, the cultivation of the take-off elephant trick will be a thousand miles in a day, not to mention the sword intent of this Tianhe water, even if you can create a more terrifying sword move.
After the excitement, Li Chouxin naturally knew that this matter could not be rushed for a while, so he gave up the idea of the third sword and cultivated the Flying Elephant Technique again, thinking only about combining this Imperial Weapon and the Flying Elephant Technique more perfectly, and maximizing the power of the Flying Stream of 3,000 feet.
And Zhang Xiao climbed into the room, and also began to practice the second layer of the Imperial Path, the first day was a small success, and he was able to control things such as teacups on the table, but he was still a little unstable, and he was secretly happy when he saw his progress, but Li Chouxin's words were kept in his heart, and he couldn't be in a hurry, so he calmed down and continued to cultivate.
Li Chouxin stopped practicing, thinking about how to inform Zhang Xiaopan of the fusion method he had just comprehended, if he opened Zhang Xiaopan's door rashly, he would probably disturb Xiaopan's cultivation, and it would be extremely dangerous if he was not careful.
After thinking about it, Li Chouxin suddenly remembered that when he first cultivated the first layer of the Mind Attraction Technique, his mind could penetrate the space to look at everything around him, and he accidentally saw Ziwei bathing and heard Ziwei's dream words, if he used this method, he might be able to have an induction with Zhang Xiaopan, after all, Zhang Xiaopan was also practicing this method, and he was sensitive to everything around him, which should be feasible.
Li Chouxin began to exert himself, and as his thoughts penetrated many barriers, he arrived in Zhang Xiaopan's room, and saw that Zhang Xiaopan was meditating and contemplating, Li Chouxin was a little relieved.
Zhang Xiaopan suddenly noticed something unusual, and also activated his perception, sensing a familiar breath, Zhang Xiaopan shouted unconsciously: "Master, is it you?" ”
I didn't expect Li Chouxin to be able to hear it, but I really didn't expect that this trick would have such a wonderful use, and it could actually communicate through the air.
"It's me, Xiao Pan, don't be surprised, stabilize your mind and listen to the teacher." Li Chou said.
Zhang Xiaopan settled down and was listening.
"Xiao Pan, after the teacher's enlightenment, based on the power of the flying elephant, urging the way of the flying elephant to perform the sword move, you can get twice the result with half the effort, but remember to control the power of the flying elephant well, not out of control, in order to perfectly integrate with the way of the flying elephant, and give full play to the domineering power of the sword move."
After hearing this, Zhang Xiaopan understood in his heart, and wanted to ask Li Chouxin's cultivation progress again.
However, Li Chouxin didn't wait for Zhang Xiaopan to ask, and said: "Xiaopan, you must remember what the teacher said, but you can't be in a hurry, the teacher is gone, you can cultivate with peace of mind." After speaking, Li Chou withdrew the exercises, and Zhang Xiaopan couldn't feel the thought just now, so he stopped and continued to practice.
Zhang Xiaopan also understood at this time that the master only told him the method of fusion, but at this time, he had not fully mastered the way of the imperial object, and he had to continue to comprehend, and only when he fully mastered it could he perfectly integrate it, so he was not in a hurry to try it at this time, but continued to practice the way of the imperial object.
Li Chouxin, who had originally said that he was good at retreat and cultivation, opened the door at this time, walked out, and saw that it was already dark, and the two of them were still guarding the house, and there was a trace of joy in his heart.
The two also saw Li Chouxin walk out, only one day's work, which made both of them a little puzzled, the two looked at Li Chouxin curiously, but suddenly found that Li Chouxin's momentum was much stronger than before.
"Sorrowful brother, didn't you say retreat and cultivation? Why did it come out in just one day? Kotone asked.
"Practice, can't you come out after practicing, besides, my worried brother can't bear to let the two of you stay here for ten days." Li Chouxin walked over and put his hand on the shoulders of the two, one on each side, which made the two of them a little embarrassed.
"Worried brother, when did you start to become flamboyant." Seyu twisted her shoulders.
Li Chouxin smiled and said: "It depends on who you are with, you are worried brother and I are not like this with anyone, right." Then he turned his head to look at Seyu's lovely face, only to see Seyu's face turn red all of a sudden.
"Okay, it's been a day, I'm a little hungry, let's talk while eating." Li Chouxin suddenly said seriously.
As they walked, the three of them went into the kitchen and began to make something to eat. During this period, Li Chouxin did not forget to tease the two, and he looked shameless.
It didn't take long for the three of them to come out with two plates of dishes, put them under the small pavilion outside, and began to eat.
Li Chouxin drank a glass of wine and said, "Since I have come out, the two good sisters will no longer have to guard tomorrow, with me in this courtyard, nothing will happen." ”
The two looked at Li Chouxin, and Qin Yin asked first: "Brother Chouxin, what should we do in the next days?" ”
Li Chou smiled: "It's fine as usual, normal life." ”
But Seyu said, "Normal life? Isn't that a bit boring? ”
Li Chou smiled evilly: "Then Sister Seyu, how do you say that it is not boring? ”
Seeing this, Se Yu's face turned red: "Worried brother, you really have been bad since you were with Sister Qiyun, I hate it." ”
Looking at the shy Seyu, Li Chouxin said again: "I didn't say anything just now, how did it become bad, could it be that Sister Seyu wants to ....."
"Phew! I'm not unusual. Se Yu interrupted Li Chouxin, and quickly picked up a glass of wine and drank it.
"Okay, okay, sad brother, stop teasing, let's eat in peace." Qin Yin said at this time.
Li Chou Xin looked at the two sisters in front of him, and thought back to the few people who had just left a few days ago, and couldn't help but feel melancholy, and then drank a glass of wine, and said in his mouth:
Confidants go east,
Flying flowers are helpless,
Only the heart is hard to prosecute.
Drink bitter wine alone,
Sigh at the end of the world.
"Sad brother, do you miss Sister Ziwei again?" Seryu asked.
Li Chou nodded, "Looking at the calendar, it seems to be right in front of you, but the people are far away, leaving in vain." ”
Se Yu continued: "Oh, sad brother, I was just joking with you, besides, Sister Ziwei, they will come back eventually, and besides, isn't there still a sister and me, Sister Ziwei, what they can do, we can too." ”
Li Chouxin looked at Se Yu and knew that Se Yu was thinking too much, but he still teased: "Since this is the case, then I will not be polite." ”
Seyu didn't refuse this time, but nodded shyly.
Seeing this, Qin Yin said, "Worried brother, don't forget that there is also Qin Yin." ”
Li Chouxin looked at the sound of the piano and said, "You guys, is it really that good?" Everybody willingly. ”
"Of course, in the past, each was its own master, and I couldn't say it at that time, but now that I get along with Brother Sorrow, I realize that Brother Sorrow is the best man in our minds." Qin Yin nodded again and again after speaking.
Li Chou took a drink and didn't say anything more, recalling his past in Oroling.
After a full meal and wine, the two sisters cleaned up the table, sat down next to Li Chouxin, and talked about the past together, and they were full of emotion for a while.
It was late at night, Li Chou looked at the two and said, "You have been tired all day, go and rest." ”
Who would have thought that the sorrowful brother said: "Is the sad brother talking about together?" ”
With this question, Li Chou woke up.
"You girl, why didn't you find out this was the case before?" Li Chouxin pinched Seyu's face.
"Brother Sad, there are many things you don't know, why don't I tell you slowly later."
Looking at Se Yu's seductive and charming appearance, Li Chou thought that it would be difficult to refuse, and thought of the others before, so he simply said: "That's it, go to my room to rest, but I'm a little tired after a day of cultivation today." ”
Se Yu heard that Li Chouxin agreed, and was full of joy, and said, "This is not bothering my brother." ”
And Qin Yin on the side looked displeased, Li Chou Xin said to Qin Yin at this time: "Sister Qin Yin, let's go together, but I said that I was just resting tonight." ”
Qin Yin showed a smile at this time, and then the two got up and pulled Li Chouxin and walked to the room.
After entering the room, the two seemed to have exchanged people, and the sermon that had been teasing outside before became restrained, while the qin sound, which was often shown with a cold image, became enthusiastic and unrestrained, and Li Chou was confused.
Before he could think about it, Li Chouxin was pressed under him by the sound of the qin, and his chest was close to Li Chouxin, Li Chouxin began to say a little nervously: "Didn't you say that you should have a good rest tonight?" Qinyin, you're too enthusiastic. ”
Qin Yin said: "This is not up to you, the rest will be talked about later, you can't escape tonight." After speaking, he blocked Li Chouxin's mouth as he was about to speak.
Seeing this, Se Yu was no longer reserved, and fell beside Li Chouxin, looked at Li Chouxin affectionately, and also leaned up and whispered something in Li Chouxin's ear.
Li Chouxin didn't struggle anymore, let the two girls toss, and after this toss, Li Chouxin found that the figures of the two of them were actually more proud than usual, and they could be regarded as thousands of postures.
After Li Chouxin was tossed, the two girls lost their strength first, but Li Chouxin turned over at this time and said, "You tossed me in the first half of the night, and now it's my turn to clean you up." ”
Then the three of them turned the clouds and rained all night, and they fell asleep tired before the rooster crowed.
The next day, the three of them woke up at noon, and after getting dressed, they were still talking to each other without shame.
However, Li Chou still thought about Zhang Xiaopan's cultivation in his heart, and said, "You sisters go to make something to eat first, and I'll see how Xiao Pan is." ”
After the two went out, Li Chouxin used the trick to check Zhang Xiaopan's situation, and saw that everything was as usual, and his cultivation had improved a lot, so he was relieved.
In the next few days, the three of them continued to live without shame, until the evening of the eighth day after Zhang Xiaopan's retreat, Li Chouxin stopped this life, after all, there were still two days before Pei Chen's beheading, and he couldn't be careless at this time.
And at this time, Zhang Xiaopan opened the door and walked out, feeling completely reborn.
"Xiao Pan, now that you're out of the customs, have you already cultivated?" Li Chou asked eagerly.
Zhang Xiaopan stood at the door and said to Li Chouxin: "Master, after listening to your instructions, I will first practice the way of the imperial object, and then practice according to the fusion method you said. ”
Without waiting for Li Chouxin to speak, Zhang Xiaopan showed it. I saw Xiao Pan at the door, and the wooden sword in the house flew in front of Zhang Xiaopan, Zhang Xiaopan held the fairy and rose into the air, a sword turned into three thousand, and three thousand sword shadows appeared in the air, and the breath on each sword was so majestic and powerful, sending out bursts of sword sounds.
Seeing this, Li Chou hurriedly stopped Zhang Xiaopan and said, "Okay, Xiaopan." Look at the power of this sword, you have completely mastered it, and you will step up your proficiency in the next two days, and you and I will wait for the opportunity to move the day after tomorrow. ”
Zhang Xiaopan put away his sword and walked over, "Master, what's wrong with you, how can you see that your face is not very good, you are very pale, is it that you have practiced too much?" ”
Li Chou coughed and said: "It's a trivial matter, it's okay, it may be that I haven't rested well in the past few days, just take care of it in the past two days, and I won't delay the business." ”
But Qin Yin and Se Yu behind him were ruddy, covering their mouths and snickering, Zhang Xiaopan saw the expressions of the two and said: "Apprentice understands, blame Xiaopan for being too talkative." Then a naked sneering expression appeared.
Li Chouxin suddenly became a little embarrassed, "Children's families, don't think about it." ”
Li Chouxin looked at the two sisters behind him, he really didn't take it in the past few days, and indulged a little. Then he said: "You and Xiao Pan go buy some delicious food and come back, Xiao Pan has lost a lot of weight these days just by cultivating, and he has to make up for it." ”
The three of them listened to Li Chouxin's words, and walked towards the door, and before leaving, Zhang Xiaopan turned to Li Chouxin and said with a smile: "Master, I think it is you who have lost weight, and you are the one who needs to make up for it." ”
When Li Chou heard this, he picked up the grapes on the side and threw them at Zhang Xiaopan, but Zhang Xiaopan flexibly dodged them, and then the three of them laughed and went out.
Li Chouxin looked at the backs of several people, although his waist and legs were indeed a little weak, but his heart was very happy.
