30. Iron pot (II)
Wu Jinxing climbed onto the roof again and practiced the "Iron Pot Chapter". He started running "Ten Thousand Pot Gong" at high speed first, but before he could do so, he stopped.
"Ahh!!h
"No! In order not to waste pot coins, I have to persevere! ”
"Ahh!!h
After an hour and several attempts, Wu Jinxing finally completed the first step - burning. In the second step of forging, you need to beat the whole body, and use all your strength with each blow.
"Ahhh~~Ahhhh!!h
It took a total of half an hour to beat the body. Wu Jinxing was exhausted, but he still quickly sat down and absorbed the spiritual energy to his body.
"Every blow has to be done with all your might, is this a human play? This is for the pot to play, right? I'm tired! ”
But after a lot of torture in the body, relaxing and nourishing the body with aura was tantamount to a massage, which made Wu Jinxing can't help but moan.
After another half an hour, his body began to cool down, and Wu Jinxing had to stop, instead picking up a bucket of cold water that he had prepared beside him and pouring it from head to foot. "Hiss~~Painful !!"
The sudden change in heat from extreme heat to normal temperature caused his meridians to rupture, causing unbearable pain.
"Quick, hurry up and take the last step. Hiss~ It hurts! ”
He endured the pain and began to run the "Ten Thousand Pot Gong" at high speed again, and when the aura passed through the place where the meridians were broken, the pain would immediately rise to the next level.
"Ahh~~"
After a week of running the Reiki, the wounds in the meridians and blood vessels began to heal, and the pain gradually subsided. When Wu Jinxing's body was slightly hot, that is, when the "Iron Pot Chapter" was completed in one week, the pain disappeared, and it was replaced by full spirit.
When he got up and moved his body, the bones of his whole body suddenly crackled, and there was a faint flash of light under his skin.
"Giggles!"
In the distance, a rooster crows and the sun rises over the mountain.
Although he hadn't slept all night, he didn't feel sleepy at all.
"Huh? How does my body feel more tenacious than before, and my strength seems to have hit a little, and I am not sleepy at all, is this the benefit of "Iron Pot Chapter"? It's not bad. He said to himself, "It's hard work, but it's very comfortable at the end." ”
He exhaled a breath of turbidity, stretched his waist, and then put away the "Iron Pot Chapter", jumped off the roof, and returned to the house.
……
After about ten minutes, a large cloth bag appeared at the door, with only a little clothing and change in it, and nothing else.
"Whew, it's finally done." Wu Jinxing did it next to the big cloth bag, wiping the sweat on his forehead.
"Venus, get up so early!" A voice appeared next to him, and he looked in the direction of the sound and found that it was Uncle Chen, the housekeeper of the Hu family.
"Good morning, Uncle Chen. By the way, I'm going to move to the martial arts from today, so I won't be back here very often. Thank you for your care these days. ”
Since Wu Jinxing's mother left, Wu Jinxing's three meals a day were prepared by Uncle Chen for him, so he also thanked Uncle Chen from the bottom of his heart.
"Haha, yes, yes, congratulations on being able to enter the Martial Academy, your life in the future can be described as a step to the sky, at least you don't have to be a servant for the rest of your life like me."
"I think I also had a desire to cultivate and become a master back then, but my talent is insufficient, and your admission to the martial arts academy shows that you are more talented than me, so you have to cherish this opportunity, kid!" Uncle Chen was full of emotion.
"Where, if it weren't for Uncle Chen's help, where would I be where I am today." Rarely, Wu Jinxing said modestly.
"You and I don't have to be polite. That, you put away these ten silver coins, I know that cultivation is a money-burning and dangerous road, don't be stingy where you need money in the martial arts academy, if it's not enough, come to me to ask for it, people can't work hard outside. ”
"Although we are not rich, since we want to cultivate well, we must become a great weapon, don't worry about money!" Uncle Chen said as he pulled out a small money bag from his trouser pocket.
"No, it's too precious for me to want." Wu Jinxing did not hesitate to stuff the money bag back into Uncle Chen's hand.
You must know that even in an aristocratic family, Uncle Chen's annual salary is 100 silver coins, who called Taiyuan Zhou on the edge of the Zhou Dynasty?
"You can accept this, it's a big deal to wait for you to have a big achievement in the future and then return it to me, you can't suffer yourself outside, accept it, be polite to me, I like you very much, I can help you more and I am happy." Uncle Chen insisted on stuffing the money to Wu Jinxing.
"Then thank you Uncle Chen, even if I borrow this money, the grace of dripping water should be reciprocated by a spring, and I will definitely pay it back to you in every possible way in the future." Although Wu Jinxing is greedy for money, he is not a person who has no bottom line at all.
"Actually, you are similar to me back then, it's a pity that I didn't have this opportunity, and now I can help you make up for my regrets back then."
"Venus, don't blame me for talking too much. Cultivation is really a path to heaven, although it is difficult, but it can still be achieved through hard work after all. If you cultivate hard, you will become a master, so cherish this opportunity. ”
"Well," Wu Jinxing nodded seriously, "Although the cultivation is hard, I will never give up, and I must become a world-strong person in the future!" ”
"Hahaha, that's the best way to have this ambition." Uncle Chen smiled, "By the way, last night I vaguely heard the sound of ghosts crying wolves here, isn't it haunted?" Do you want me to react to the master? ”
"Ghost crying wolf?" Wu Jinxing was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, "Ahem, I didn't hear it last night, it shouldn't be haunted." ”
"That's good," Uncle Chen nodded, "I'm going to check how the breakfast is prepared over there, so I'll leave first." I wish you a smooth journey in your cultivation, and there will be a period in the future. With that, he waved goodbye. There will be a period later. Wu Jinxing also waved goodbye.
When he couldn't see Uncle Chen, he quickly returned to the house and covered the doors and windows tightly.
Because Uncle Chen's words reminded Wu Jinxing that there was still one thing to do. Cultivation is still a dangerous path. He needs to have some means of self-defense, for example, the female ghost in the soul cauldron.
"It's still half an hour before we leave for the Martial Academy. Well, there should be time to negotiate with the female ghost. ”
Wu Jinxing put the soul suppression pot at one end of the room, and then hid at the other end by himself. As soon as his mind moved, the female ghost was temporarily released next to the soul cauldron.
But the female ghost didn't beep after she came out this time, but started directly, and her hand turned into a devil's claw again, grabbing Wu Jinxing fiercely.
Wu Jinxing was frightened and immediately shouted: "Stop, wait, wait, I still have something to say." This time I'm here to negotiate with you. ”
"Whew!"
The devil's claws stopped before the tip of the nose, and the wind howled in the room.
Cold sweat soaked directly into the back of Wu Jinxing's clothes. "What other words do you have?" The female ghost looked down on him condescendingly.
Wu Jinxing immediately realized that her words could only be scare and scare, after all, there was a soul suppression pot in which she couldn't kill the master, and she also had confidence in her heart.
"Do you want to regain your freedom and no longer be suppressed in this tower, meh, in this pot?"
"Oh, would you like to?" The attitude of the female ghost has not changed.
"It's not impossible."
Hearing that there was a chance to get rid of the soul cauldron, the female ghost looked at Wu Jinxing: "What do you want?" Is it supreme glory, great power, or untold money? ”
[Is your knowledge limited to these three things?] ]
"I don't want it, I just want you to help me when I need you, ten times in total, and within your ability. May I? ”
The female ghost pondered for a moment: "Yes, but there are only five chances to make a move." ”
"Okay, but I have one more request, which is that you can't actively do evil after you are released."
The female ghost hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded slightly: "Yes, but if someone provokes me, I will definitely fight back." ”
She didn't want to agree to these requests, but the bargaining chip given by Wu Jinxing was to get her out of the soul cauldron.
How can you not seize this opportunity that you have been waiting for for a thousand years? What's more, the ghost is under the eaves and has to bow his head.
"It's natural, do you have any questions?" Wu Jinxing is extremely excited now, because this contract can be signed immediately, so that his life safety will be guaranteed!
"And I'm in the weak stage now, according to your strength standards, I only have the Jindan Realm Plastic Dan Realm, so you need to help me recover my strength. Of course, in return, I will increase the number of shots I make, depending on the situation. "How can I help you?"
"We ghosts increase our strength by devouring our kind, and you have opened the shield of this soul cauldron so that I can perceive the outside world. I'll let you know when I find an edible ghost. ”
[Edible ghosts?!] Wu Jinxing is no longer able to complain.
"And finally, then how do you guarantee that you won't break the contract, that you won't cheat on me?" The female ghost asked again. "We can sign a life and death contract." Wu Jinxing looked righteous and said awe-inspiringly.
[But I don't even know what the life and death pact is, but the name sounds pretty lofty.] ]
"Yes," as soon as she heard that it was a contract of life and death, the female ghost did not hesitate any longer, "Then let's start immediately!" ”
"That," Wu Jinxing interrupted him at this time, "What is the life and death contract, this is something I overheard before, I only know that this thing can be used as a guarantee." ”
Female ghost: "......"
She couldn't wait to slap Wu Jinxing to death, but when she thought of the soul suppression cauldron, she had to endure it again and again.
"You dare to use it indiscriminately even what the life and death contract is, it's a miracle that you can still live to this day like this!"
In the end, she patiently explained: "The contract of life and death is to imprint the content of the contract on the soul, and the party who violates the content of the contract will be directly destroyed, and there is no possibility of resurrection." ”
Of course, the establishment and dissolution of the life and death contract also requires both parties to be willing, so the life and death contract is also called the non-dissolution contract. Do you understand? Let's start signing the contract. ”
"Okay, but how do you sign it?" Wu Jinxing scratched his head in embarrassment, he was like a child who didn't understand anything in front of the female ghost.
"It's really troublesome, you still have to teach me step by step," the female ghost also began to get impatient, "put your aura in contact with my yin qi." ”
As soon as the female ghost's voice fell, the demon's claws had quietly disappeared, and in its place was a pure black pillar of yin qi. Wu Jinxing cautiously touched his aura with it, and immediately a contract that had been written appeared in his mind, and only his signature was missing from it.
As soon as his mind moved, Wu Jinxing's three words appeared on the contract, and then the contract in his mind emitted a dazzling light, and then gradually dissipated.
But as it dissipated, he felt something indelible imprinted in his soul.
[Is this a contract of life and death?] It's amazing! ]
"Okay, the contract has been signed, I'll go back first, remember to unblock the soul cauldron." After speaking, the figure of the female ghost turned into black smoke and drilled back into the soul cauldron.
"Okay, this big problem has finally been solved," Wu Jinxing let out a sigh of relief, smiled, and looked up at the sky, "Well, it's a little faster than I expected, so let's leave for the private school martial arts academy early." ”
He picked up the big cloth bag, closed the door of the room, stared deeply for a while, took a deep breath, turned around resolutely, and walked in the direction of the private school without looking back.
But what he didn't know was that there had been people waiting there for a long time on the way to the private school.
