Chapter 3 Summoning the Spirit

In the early morning, as soon as the sky was bright, a wail sounded, breaking the tranquility of the mountains, startling the birds falling among the trees, and the dew dripping green, waking up all things.

The tribesmen were now gathered at the altar in twos and threes.

In the bonfire left yesterday, bursts of green smoke came out from time to time, at this time, the cyan flame on the altar has not known when it will be extinguished, only the body of the tripod is as usual, and the bronze ancient tripod with residual temperature is still on the altar.

At this time, the medicinal liquid in the tripod had already been boiled thickly, occupying about one-third of the Gu Ding, emitting bursts of strange medicinal fragrance.

The altar is towering, the five respected elders of the tribe, are sitting on the altar as if the jade is cast, close their eyes and recuperate, they have not slept all night, but they are not tired, they are staring closely at the bronze ancient tripod, according to the tribe inheritance, an ancient prescription engraved on the yellowing animal bones, according to the unknown steps to the tripod to put the medicine into the tripod, dare not make the slightest mistake.

Under the altar, on the square where the men practiced in the past, more than a dozen large vat were set up on the blazing flames, and the wolf smoke rushed straight into the sky, disrupting the trajectory of the birds' flight.

"No, I don't!" the children cried out as they looked at the stone jar in front of them, twisting violently, and struggling in their parents' arms.

From time to time, children were stripped of their clothes by their elders, leaked out of their fleshy buttocks, and threw them into the stone jar, their skin was red from the night burns by the medicine, and they grinned and screamed.

The stone jar is not large, more than a meter deep, and the colorful precious medicinal liquid emits a strange smell under the boiling of the flame, and from time to time there are palm-sized spiders and foot-long black centipedes floating and sinking in it.

These highly poisonous things, which had been dried and disposed of a long time ago, were filled with the medicine night, colorful, like living creatures, wandering and sliding in the stone jar, exuding a spicy smell that covered the nose, and the medicine in the jar was not overflowing, and it could have just been less than a child of five or six years old.

At this time, even Shanqing was placed in one of the stone jars with a few three-year-old children of the same age, and at most a few months apart, and their elders surrounded them, taking care of them diligently to avoid accidents.

Lian Shansheng looked at Lian Shanqing who was jumping up and down like a monkey in the jar in front of him, wanting to jump out of the stone jar, and suddenly covered Lian Shanqing's little head with one hand and pushed him back into the stone jar.

So I saw that Lian Shanqing stepped on the smooth cylinder surface with one foot, failed to stabilize his body, and the whole person fell to the bottom of the cylinder with a pop, and the nostrils in his mouth were hot, and he was poured into a mouthful of liquid.

Mother Tuoba Yun watched all this, and did not stop it, but just chuckled on the side.

In desperation, Lian Shanqing had no choice but to squat in the hot stone jar that was burned, letting the hot medicinal soup wash his body, his white and tender skin was burned red by the thick medicinal liquid, and his hat was steaming.

After a while, Lian Shanqing only felt a stream of hot air, drilling into the small body along the pores, and the sufficient medicinal power poured in one by one, nourishing the flesh and blood in the body and warming the body.

The meridians were hungry and thirsty until the tiny blood vessels on the body were stretched up.

Lian Shanqing looked at his meridians that had been swept away by barbaric violence, and felt a little helpless in his heart, and hurriedly began to operate the exercises, the strange spells that had been passed down for a long time.

This is the enlightenment practice of the tribe, which is nameless and traceless, with only a few hundred words, but it is very obscure and profound.

You must know that it took Lian Shan Qing more than half a year to gradually master this unknown text.

Lian Shanqing carefully carried the qi and blood, stored the majestic medicinal power in the body, repaired the immature meridians in the body that were destroyed by the strong medicinal power, and gradually strengthened his own heritage.

As he grew up, Lian Shanqing had already realized his past life and present life, but it was a pity that he had obtained many advanced exercises, but he seemed to be unable to cultivate in this life.

I don't know what the reason is, I feel an invisible shackle binding myself, I don't know where this world is, what method to cultivate, I feel the incomparably abundant aura around me, but I have never been able to absorb qi into the body, and now I can only rely on this simple and crude method to cultivate my body.

With the operation of that enlightenment exercise, streams of energy boiled, like a small red dragon, shuttling within the seven meridians and eight veins in the body, as if to expand the meridians that were originally as small as a stream into a big river.

Gradually opening up the previously blocked meridians, the majestic medicinal power washes all over the body from time to time, and bright red blood is continuously created from the spinal cord, removing some harmful impurities accumulated in the body from the body, leaving dark red dirt on the surface of the skin.

The boiling medicinal power poured into the body, allowing the cells to be devoured hungrily, as if endless, and the light gradually lit up between the flesh and blood, and the qi and blood rushed like a river, roaring in the body.

Gradually, the other children in the stone jar fainted in pain under the stimulation of the majestic medicinal power, and fell to the bottom of the stone jar.

One by one, the children who fainted, emitting heat and blood, were carried out of the tank by their elders.

And Lian Shanqing, at this time, only felt a more powerful medicinal power surging into his body, and hurriedly ran the exercises, hoping to absorb the majestic medicinal power in his body faster, otherwise his body would be broken sooner or later.

Hurriedly closed his eyes and concentrated, his mind seemed to float to the sky, and the whole person put on a strange posture, quiet and natural, and the aura in the sky gradually converged, appearing around the Fengchi acupoint above his head, as if he was a master of the Dao, absorbing boundless aura.

Between heaven and earth, the aura is continuous, and at this time, even the place where the mountains are located, as if there is a storm, and the rolling aura is like a tornado, gathering here.

The whole valley seems to be cultivating with gods, constantly swallowing the aura of all directions, especially the hill where the Lianshan tribe is located, the aura is even more viscous, the dead wood pulls out new branches, and countless plants stretch their bodies to absorb the aura that gathers from this gathering.

The people of the Lianshan tribe looked at this rolling vision blankly, and were extremely surprised by the scene that Lianshan Qing seemed to have inadvertently caused. I saw that Lian Shanqing was sitting in the stone jar, the aura was viscous as if it was about to be liquid, and Lian Shanqing didn't seem to be aware of it, his eyes were closed, absorbing the boundless aura.

Suddenly, Lian Shanqing's eyebrows flashed, and a strange black line quietly appeared in the body, looming between the holes.

The appearance of this long black line immediately interrupted the operation of the exercises in Lian Shanqing's body, and I saw that the qi and blood that he had previously controlled were like a wild horse that had escaped from Lian Shanqing's control, mixed with the medicinal power that continued to pour into his body, and swept through his internal organs.

The blood congealed and swept through the body like a tornado, rolling up a bloody rain that destroyed the muscles of the body one after another, reversed the meridians, broke the skeleton, and the flesh and blood together with the internal organs seemed to turn into a pool of bloody mud, and the whole body was about to collapse.

The severe pain swept through the whole body, and even Shanqing could no longer maintain his composure, the knife-like pain was very unbearable for this three-year-old body, and he couldn't help curling up in pain, only to see the blood flowing out of the hair.

This kind of piercing pain may not be anything to Lian Shanqing in the past, but for Lian Shanqing, who is only three years old now and has a very immature body, it is a serious injury that hangs by a thread.

Fortunately, Lian Shanqing's innate strong and tenacious soul can still be kept awake now, otherwise he would have to faint alive.

Lian Shanqing relied on his powerful spiritual power to look inside his body, looking at the chaotic scene of the uncontrolled energy in his body, he couldn't help but feel a little helpless, and sighed secretly in his heart.

However, he could not give up a glimmer of hope, and hurriedly mobilized the only remaining innate origin in his body that had been preserved from birth to the present, in order to make up for the foundation, so as to buy some time to suppress the riot in his body.

You must know that only when the baby is born and the body is unblemished, will there be an innate Qi body.

With the passage of time, it will also be infected by the filth of the world.

At that time, Lian Shanqing could be said to have worked hard to preserve this small group of innate Qi, and he suddenly felt a pity in his heart.

People are not as good as heaven!

Lian Shanqing had no choice but to silently run the enlightenment exercises, slowly absorb the spiritual energy, and accumulate strength in order to control the body.

Outside, Lian Shansheng and his wife couldn't help but feel a little at a loss when they saw this sudden scene.

Fortunately, a clan elder who was attracted by Lian Shanqing's movement rushed over, and with a wave of his hand, he dispersed the boundless aura that had gathered, and cut off Lian Shanqing's celestial and human passages, preventing him from continuing to absorb the spiritual energy.

With the isolation of the aura, at this time, the energy that was raging in the body had no backup power, and the pressure of Lian Shanqing was greatly reduced, and he hurriedly and painfully operated the qi and blood, carried the riverbed, and drove the wisps of qi and blood to slowly devour and consume, and the river-like energy in the body was surging in order to regain control of the body.

Gradually, as time went by, more and more power was swallowed by Lian Shanqing, and his body returned to Lian Shanqing's grasp.

Although there were still a few weak medicinal powers left scattered all over the body, they were still overbroken and were quickly absorbed by Lian Shanqing.

Lian Shanqing looked at his terrible body, and felt very bitter in his heart, but he endured the pain, cheered up, and began to slowly absorb the residual medicinal power in the stone jar to restore the damaged body.

The influx of medicinal power turned into strange energy, and the broken meridians gradually healed under the compensation of the medicinal power, and the internal organs also returned to their original positions, the broken bones slowly healed, and drops of blood condensed out of the spinal cord again.

Outside, as Lian Shanqing's health improved, Lian Shansheng and his wife hugged each other tightly, let go of their hearts, and watched Lian Shanqing continue to absorb the medicinal liquid in the stone tank, and the wounds on his body slowly healed, knowing that the child was out of danger, he hurriedly looked at the white-haired clan elder beside him gratefully.

The clan elder looked at Lian Shansheng and his wife, and his grateful eyes suddenly waved his hand, as if he couldn't help but worry about this little thing, and focused his eyes on Lian Shanqing again.

Looking at the medicinal soup that had become lighter in color, he understood Lian Shanqing's way of thinking at this time, and immediately put his hand into his arms and took out a bag of animal skins, the style was very ordinary.

I saw that the old man kept taking out ginseng, meat mushroom and other elixirs that had been around for thousands of years from the animal skin bag and put them into the stone jar.

As more and more ancient medicines were thrown into the stone jar, the liquid became abundant again, and the liquid was bubbling and boiling.

After a while, the patriarch put the animal skin bag into his arms, but the animal skin bag did not shrink in the slightest, and it seemed to have its own world.

The liquid medicine is thick, time seems to go back, and the injuries on Lian Shanqing's body are constantly healing, and the shattered porcelain-like body has become intact, even better than in the past.

Lian Shanqing only felt that his body was warm, his qi and blood were like pumps, and gentle rays of light rose out of his body, like spider silk webs, connected in his body.

As the exercises worked, the cells, washed by the energy, bloomed with brilliant light, like blood diamonds.

The bones have also become stronger, and the broken meridians are far tougher than before, allowing more energy to pass through.

Lian Shanqing suddenly felt a wonderful energy, which appeared silently in the lower dantian, rose up, turned into unknown energy, and guided a large amount of energy to converge towards the dantian, and the rolling medicinal power was devoured and refined by it.

One wisp, two wisps...

Lian Shanqing looked at the scene in his dantian, and felt a little crying in his heart, why did there be an accident again?

In desperation, Lian Shanqing had no choice but to continue to absorb the medicinal power of the outside world and refine it into his own qi and blood.

As for that strange energy, Lian Shanqing didn't feel any danger from above, but he didn't dare to take it lightly, so he had to be secretly vigilant in his heart.

I saw wisps of pale red energy appear, floating in the dantian the size of a square circle, but it was swallowed by that strange energy, and the qi and blood in the dantian were even thinner, like mist.

As more and more medicinal power was absorbed by Lian Shanqing, the medicinal soup in the stone jar became clear again, only the black impurities discharged from the stalls, and the broken bones that were removed floated in the jar.

Lian Shansheng and his wife, looking at all this, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

"It seems that there is no serious problem, and as expected, let him go to Wu Gong's place tomorrow. The old man said with a smile.

Hearing this, Lian Shansheng and his wife looked surprised, and when they looked back, they saw that the old man had long disappeared and returned to the altar.

At this time, Lian Shanqing was unaware of what was happening in the outside world, and the whole person was sitting in the stone jar, looking at the scene in the dantian, a little at a loss.

The dantian has been occupied by that wonderful energy, and a mysterious scripture from nowhere echoes in the dantian, the sound is getting louder and louder, dissipating wisps of energy, spreading all over the body.

Layers of hazy white light quietly appeared from all over the body, turning into Dao rays of light, converging into the dantian, which was the innate Qi that Lian Shanqing consumed to make up for the foundation.

The innate qi was entwined like a hairball, constantly mixing with the strange energy in the dantian, and with the mysterious scriptures that sounded, it gradually formed a strange incantation.

At the moment when the incantation was formed, invisible lines appeared in the body out of thin air, imprinted on every inch of flesh and blood on the body, leaving a light red pattern.

Lian Shanqing stared closely at the incantation in the dantian, and the powerful spiritual power set off a storm in the sea of knowledge, and suddenly, the whole person suddenly fainted, and was taken out of the tank by his parents.

Lian Shansheng looked at Lian Shanqing who was sleeping in his mother's arms, with his immature skin and small body, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in his heart.
