Half a year later, Chen Yao sensed a trace of aura entering his body in an evening class, and then used his skills to refine and cultivate, so far the six brothers and sisters have all started the cultivation path against the sky.

Among them, although Chen Yao was annoyed that his understanding was not as good as Lin Jiu, but Lin Jiu usually guided Chen Yao when he was fine, and comforted Chen Yao not to be anxious, several senior brothers got along more and more harmoniously, after all, they were all young people, Kong Yan was more eager for the level of cultivation than others, and secretly competed with Ji Qiuhai. After everyone has been together for a long time, they rarely shout their brothers and sisters anymore, and they call them by their names in private, which is more cordial.

Because Lin Jiu couldn't cultivate, he reluctantly stayed in the Dwarf Pillar Peak, so although his daily work did not increase, it did not decrease, and the other senior brothers Qi Musheng could control the qi, Li Jinliang had a high and profound internal force, and Kong Yan and Ji Qiuhai also had meager internal strength, so a few of them would work much faster, and occasionally they would come to help Lin Jiu and Chen Yao.

Lin Jiu never slackened at all, he cultivated until late at night every night, although he still couldn't save a little internal strength, but his meridians were getting stronger and stronger, and the external aura absorbed by his luck was also increasing, and the speed of running for a week was getting faster and faster, he believed that as long as he kept working hard, sooner or later there would be a day of success.

After lunch on this day, Li Jinliang said, "You don't have to prepare my meals at night, and don't call me these days, I'm going to try to hit the late stage, I faintly felt that there were signs of a breakthrough yesterday." ”

"Then congratulations to Jin Liang in advance, I look forward to your early exit," Kong Yan put down the bowl and said quickly

"Are you sure?" asked Ji Qiuhai

Li Jinliang nodded, "I rarely do things that I am not sure of. Besides, the year-end assessment of the door is coming for a while, and if you can enter the later stage, you can participate in the assessment, and it can be regarded as not letting Senior Brother Qi go alone. ”

"Don't hold back," Lin Jiu said with a smile

"Shut your crow's mouth," Li Jinliang raised his hand and pretended to hit him

A crowd laughed.

Since then, day after day, year after year, ten years have passed, Lin Jiu is already in his early thirties, and he took time to go to Jianshan Peak once in the middle, because Tao'er was going to get married, Tao'er was under Song Qing's door, and had been living a carefree life, watering flowers every day, taking care of Lingtian, and going to Dwarf Pillar Peak to visit Lin Jiu every winter, knowing that Brother Jiu couldn't cultivate, he also felt sad for him for a while.

After all, when I heard Song Qing say those things at Chen Yao's house, I was still young and didn't understand, but when I returned to Jianshan Peak, I had more contact and knew more, and I was sad for a while when I confirmed it again from Lin Jiu's mouth.

Song Qing once said that Tao'er did not have a cultivation system, but every year Tao'er would be rewarded with some pills that mortals could use, so he had always been in good health, and Zhengzhong Peak had a year when the disciples of Jianshan Peak were on duty, Tao'er begged to stay in Zhengzhong Peak for more than half a year, and met an outer disciple, the two fell in love at first sight, and then this outer disciple has been running hard to Jianshan Peak, Song Qing also knew what the reason was, not only did he stop it, but also matched the two.

In the end, Song Qing went to the outer disciple's house and proposed the marriage of the two, the outer disciple's family, which is also a relatively wealthy family in Daqiu Country, would not have agreed to this family affair, but the ancestor of the Baishan Sect came forward to propose the marriage, what a great honor, and Song Qing also promised that the outer disciple could return to the family in advance, and give the young children of their family a chance to become an inner disciple without examination, which made the patriarch of the outer disciple's family surprised that he didn't sleep well for a few days.

Chose a good day and auspicious day, the family held a wedding, the main room where the Ming media was marrying, Lin Jiu saw that Taoer had a good home, and he was very happy, Lin Jiu was drunk on the night of the wedding, and Wu Yuan knew that the sister he was worried about had a good home, and he didn't punish him when he was drunk.

After Lin Jiu got married in Tao'er, he went to Tongtian Peak again, and every year Lin Jiu had to come here to visit Xiaobai, although Xiaobai had been staying in Tongtian Peak's formation to cultivate, but every time Lin Jiu came, it would stop cultivating, silently accompany Lin Jiu, and listen to Lin Jiu tell some trivial daily events.

Xiao Bai's cultivation in Tongtian Peak was not fast, ten years have passed, and the inner dan has still not been completely refined, and the realm has been stable in the early stage of foundation building, so Lin Jiu persuaded it not to be in a hurry, but to take it slowly.

"Xiaobai, I may have to go to the outer gate next year, and maybe I will go out to the deacon of the outer gate stronghold, and then I may have to come to see you once in a few years. ”

The little white fox tilted his head and looked at Lin Jiu suspiciously.

"Dwarf Pillar Peak, now only I am still a mortal, just last month, Chen Yao also broke through the bottleneck and entered the later stage, can resist the qi, this kid doesn't know what to think, with the wool sheared by the goats raised on the peak to weave a blanket, and fly with the object, a group of senior brothers laughed at him for a long time, although the crooked fly is not reliable and does not fly far, but after all, it is still in the late stage, and Kong Yan and Qiu Hai have caught up with Senior Brother Qi, and they have reached the late stage of the Great Perfection, Senior Brother Qi tried to break through once, eat the Zhuji Dan given by the sect, and in the end there is still no advancement, the master asked him to stabilize the foundation again, so after a while he has to sprint to build the foundation。 ”

Xiao Bai listened to Lin Jiu say this, and still felt the loneliness in Lin Jiu's heart.

"Ten years have passed, and I am almost middle-aged, but I don't see the slightest hope, Xiaobai, I don't know if I can hold on any longer, Mu Feifei has never come to me, I don't know how she is now? If she can't do it, she will become a ghost and go to the underworld to find her. ”

Lin Jiu said and took out the jade pendant with Mu Feifei's name from his arms, and gently rubbed it with his hand.

Xiao Bai whimpered and lay beside Lin Jiu without moving, gently rubbing Lin Jiu's arm with his head.

In the end, Lin Jiu was not called an outer disciple, and several senior brothers pleaded with the master and the master, leaving Lin Jiu.

Another decade has passed in the loss of years, because of the yin qi in his body, Lin Jiu is getting older and older, his face is already wrinkled, his hair is gray, Chen Yao, who has the slowest cultivation among several senior brothers, has finally entered the late stage of the Great Perfection in the summer of this year, and several disciples of Dwarf Pillar Peak have also become famous, and they can get their names in the annual assessment, thanks to the new Five Elements Exercises sorted out by Song Qing, coupled with the strong aura of Dwarf Pillar Peak, these people are also cultivating very hard, so they will make such rapid progress, and no one in the inner sect will underestimate this pig-raising mountain。

And the dwarf pillar peak has slowly gained a little fame in the inner door.

In the past ten years, when Kong Yan and Qi Musheng were on duty, they went out to perform the tasks assigned by the inner gate, and on the way back, there was an accident when they were about to arrive at the Baishan Sect, but they were still rescued by Song Qing, who was discovered in time, but Qi Musheng was injured a little, and it was supposed to impact the foundation again, but it was delayed, and after the two returned to the peak, they took good care of Lin Jiu, and Lin Jiu could feel it silently, but the two of them didn't say why.

And he didn't admit that it was better for him, until Lin Jiu lost his temper, he said that it was for the sake of the ancestor's face, after all, Lin Jiu and the ancestor knew each other in their early years, but Lin Jiu felt that the reason was too far-fetched, so he didn't delve into it.

Xiao Bai finally refined the inner pill into himself in the eighth year, but it was also consumed almost as small as a sesame seed, and the realm was also fixed in the foundation building consummation, and did not enter the Dan period, although he could not change his human form, nor could he speak, but after cultivating to a high level, it was even more different, Song Qing saw that Lin Jiu came to Tongtian Peak every year to visit Xiaobai, and Xiaobai always missed Lin Jiu, and finally in this year, Song Qing promised Lin Jiu to help him become Xiaobai's master, Xiaobai was also willing to recognize Lin Jiu as the master, but Lin Jiu did not have the slightest mana, nor did he cultivate, he was finally a mortal, Xiaobai could easily backfire the master, but Lin Jiu didn't mind these at all, he just wants to give Xiaobai a free body before he dies, and when he dies, the soul contract will disappear, and then Xiaobai will be completely free.

In the winter of the dwarf pillar peak, there is thick snow everywhere, and the brothers and sisters have opened up a small cave under the peak for retreat and cultivation, only Ji Qiuhai comes to visit Lin Jiu most frequently, and only Lin Jiu lives here in the hut on the peak, and he is the only one in the kitchen to cook and eat, and everyone else can open the valley for a long time, but every year on the day they enter together, no matter how many people retreat, they will still go out together, come to accompany Lin Jiu to eat and chat, after all, there is no one on this mountain who can talk to Lin Jiu.

After Xiaobai recognized the lord this year, Lin Jiu didn't let them go out of the customs to accompany him for a day, saying that they had all cultivated to a critical moment, and if they built the foundation one day earlier, they would be happy one day earlier, saying that it would be okay to have Xiaobai with him, and the brothers and sisters also knew that he was slowly getting old, and he was actually very bitter in his heart, but he still listened to his words and didn't come to accompany him, but there was still a person who came out of the customs to accompany Lin Jiu to eat and drink, and Yuqi Fei sent him to Tao'er's family to visit Tao'er, and after coming back, he went into retreat.

Lin Jiu looked at the bottom of the mountain and smiled slightly, and said, "When we first met, I was going to kill me with one palm, you." ”

Twenty years have passed like this, Lin Jiu looked at everything he was familiar with on this mountain, and his heart was inexplicably very peaceful.

"Xiaobai, where do you say people will go after they die? Do you really go to the underworld? I also want to be with you all the time, find Mu Feifei, find my mother, let's cultivate together, go to the fairy world together, and always be free together. But ......"

Xiaobai is a little bigger now, and he can't jump on Lin Jiu's shoulder, after all, he is no longer a teenager, so he has to rub his head against Lin Jiu's waist and comfort Lin Jiu, Lin Jiu looked back at Xiaobai, smiled slightly and said, "You take me to the place where I met Fei Fei for the first time."

Xiaobai nodded. After taking two steps forward, the white light on his body flashed, and his size became even bigger, and he was almost as tall as Lin Jiu when he stood there.

"Wait a minute, I'll go to the house and get something" Lin Jiu turned around and entered the house, walked out after a while, carried a small package, turned over and rode on Xiaobai's back, "Let's go"

Xiao Bai stepped away in the air, the speed was very fast, it was very cold in winter, Xiao Bai used his spiritual power to disperse to the outside of his body to form a light Zhuo, and the cold wind blew to Lin Jiu.

Because the distance was not far, it took a while to reach the small pavilion, and Xiaobai still landed on the small platform at the cliff as before.

Lin Jiu got down from Xiaobai's back, stood on the small platform, looked at the small hole on the mountain wall, and smiled slightly, he didn't think about going in, for so many years, he walked or walked, Qiuhai took him with him, he came many times, Xiaobai took Lin Jiu to come here many times, the valley was quiet, Lin Jiu slowly sat on the ground, Xiaobai collected the mana, became the original size, and stood on the edge of the cliff looking at the valley.

"Xiaobai, can you go to Tao'er's house, bring her here, I want to meet her. ”

The little white fox glanced at Lin Jiu suspiciously, it seemed to have guessed what Lin Jiu wanted to do, and suddenly jumped to Lin Jiu's side, biting Lin Jiu's robe.

Lin Jiu stroked it with a smile and said, "Don't worry, I won't do anything stupid, I just miss her suddenly and want to see her." ”

Xiao Bai heard this, but his body became bigger, and he turned his head and motioned for Lin Jiu to sit up, it wanted to take him there, it was afraid that Lin Jiu would do something stupid after he broke it away.

Lin Jiu smiled and said, "Forget it, you are still here to accompany me, I know you are not at ease." ”

Xiaobai glanced at him with disdain, and slowly walked to the side and lay on the ground to look at him.

Lin Jiu walked to a place a foot away from the cliff and sat down slowly, blowing the mountain breeze, his hair fluttering, he had been lazy to take care of his hair all these years, just dressed casually, like Chen Yao's brother-in-law.

Lin Jiu took the package off his body, put it on his lap, and after untying it, it was Liu San's clothes, which were already old and unpresentable, Lin Jiu touched it with his hand and shed tears, "Grandpa, the closest person to me in this life, although you are not my own grandfather, but in Jiu'er's heart, you are my real grandfather, Jiu'er misses you." When I was a child, you always held me in your arms, but now that you don't even have a soul, Jiu'er can only hold your relics. ”

Lin Jiu took out a grimace jade pendant from his clothes, and gently touched it with his hand, "You said you are stingy, Master originally wanted me to marry a few female disciples of the outer sect, I said that I already have a family and do not want to marry again, but where are you, you monks have many longevity, but my life has a few twenty years, why didn't you come to me for so many years? Have you forgotten me? Although I don't blame you, can't I see you before I die?" Even if I can still live and wait for you, but ten or twenty years later, I will be an old man in the last years, will you still like me?"

Lin Jiu buried his head in his arms and cried silently.

Slowly raising his head and looking at the empty valley, he shouted Mu Feifei's name loudly, expressing the bitterness in his heart.

It's not that he hasn't cultivated in the past twenty years, but he hasn't diminished much compared to the hard work of several of his senior brothers, but the yin qi in his body is still there, and it hasn't decreased much, making him slowly despair, making him feel that there is no hope, and a glimmer of light in the darkness seems to be slowly disappearing. Lin Jiu felt that it would be great if he had never been in contact with a mortal who had not been in contact with cultivation, even if he was born with a spirit body, if not so many things happened, if he didn't meet Mu Feifei, he had been living in that small mountain village, maybe he could grow old happily, although he was not free.

But it's better than now, it's like knowing the date of your death, waiting for death to come day by day.

"If you don't come to see me, then I'll go look for you," Lin Jiu shouted. His hands clenched into fists and smashed hard into the ground.

It's just that this smash unconsciously used the internal force of the sea of qi, these twenty years of hard cultivation, so that the speed and quantity of his current absorption of spiritual energy have also greatly increased a lot, and the meridians have become very strong after more than 20 years of luck, and now the spiritual power accumulated in the sea of qi accumulated by a night of cultivation will take a whole day to assimilate, although he also thought that the speed of cultivation will eventually exceed the speed of assimilation, but he still can't save too much spiritual power, and even if the meridians are strong, they can't withstand the non-stop exercise cultivation, and if they don't break through the bottleneck period, they can't use the spiritual energy to refine the meridians in the body。

The internal force brought out by this punch subconsciously was also mixed with a little yin qi flowing out, Lin Jiu suddenly felt that the yin qi seemed to be sucked by the jade pendant in his hand, Lin Jiu raised his left hand in surprise and looked at the jade pendant in his hand, but he didn't find any difference, Lin Jiu tried to slowly run the only bit of spiritual power left in the sea of qi, from the meridians in the body to the palm, and with a little yin qi in the body, together with the palm, this time it was clear to see, the yin qi was instantly sucked clean by the jade pendant in the palm, and it exuded a faint green light, but it only flashed and disappeared。

Lin Jiu suddenly stood up with the jade pendant in surprise, it turned out that this thing could suck away the yin qi in the body, although the master said that he couldn't suck the yin qi in the body, but this jade pendant had a reaction, maybe he used the yin qi in his body to completely open this jade pendant, Mu Feifei might be able to sense it.

Lin Jiu thought about how good it would be if he could see her again, but the little aura in his body was also used up, so he meditated cross-legged at the moment, put things beside him, and began to exhale luck, just like that, from day to night, and then to dawn, the meridians of the tired body were already faintly painful, and after stopping cultivation, at this time, the sea of qi in the body had stored a large amount of spiritual power, Lin Jiu took the jade pendant in his hand, and began to run the spiritual power with the yin qi to exert force, and a large amount of yin qi emitted from the left palm was absorbed by the jade pendant, and slowly the jade pendant began to change, at first it was flashing with a faint green light, and the slowly green light continued to increase, until the spiritual power in the body was about to be consumedLin Jiu's left palm has been completely shrouded in green light, like a green lantern exuding a dazzling green light, Lin Jiu saw that the spiritual power in his body was about to run out, and the jade pendant was no longer increasing to this extent, and there was no change, and his heart became more and more anxious, just when the spiritual power was about to be exhausted, with a click, the jade pendant moved, and a crack was neatly opened from the middle. The green light flashed and disappeared, and the yin qi that was emitted was no longer absorbed by the jade pendant.

Lin Jiu happily opened the jade pendant, only to see that it was full of boxy things like leather, Lin Jiu looked at the thing very familiar, so he buckled it out, and after unfolding it, he looked at it and understood why it was familiar, it was a page scroll, not a scroll of silk cloth paper, soft as leather, densely filled with small characters he didn't recognize, on both sides, exactly the same as the one sewn on the chest of his grandfather's inner clothes. Lin Jiu later heard Liu San mention that this scroll fragment had saved his grandfather's life.

Lin Jiu hurriedly opened Liu San's clothes on his lap, found the fragment sewn on the chest of his underwear, and gently tore it off, Lin Jiu put the two fragments together, one is exactly the same size, the material is the same, and the small characters that he doesn't know on it are the same, just when Lin Jiu was wondering, the two fragments flashed green at the same time, and they were together, and the small characters on the fragments were changing visibly with the naked eye, and then they no longer flashed, and returned to a calm appearance, but although Lin Jiu didn't know the words on it, they all changed, Lin Jiu could definitely become different from the beginning, and the two fragments were actually combined。

It's like a book that you can flip through, but with only two pages. Lin Jiu was taken aback by this sudden scene, but after all, it was not the time to have no concentration at all, so Lin Jiu patiently looked at the two fragments, there were incomprehensible small characters on all sides, but he saw a few lines of small characters he knew in the handwriting cracks on three of them, there were three sides, but each side was just a few lines of words, but Lin Jiu read it again, and was surprised to find that it was a three-layer mental method and mantra of the exercise, but there was no name for this exercise. And he happened to be holding the first three layers of this exercise, Lin Jiu didn't know what kind of exercise this was, but he had a very high level of understanding, and after reading it twice, he found that he could practice this exercise, although he didn't know if the spiritual power he cultivated would be assimilated, but this magical fragment was hidden so deeply, and it could withstand the damage of various sharp weapons, especially if he could put it together, he was a little eager to try.

After all, his body is already like this, and he has changed to other introductory exercises over the years, and as a result, the spiritual power of cultivation will be assimilated, so why not try this exercise, although there are only three layers of this exercise now, not the whole book, but he is already a person of this age, he is a joke in the whole inner door, if it weren't for Song Laozu's original confession, he would have been driven out of the inner door a long time ago, a person in his forties has no cultivation, decades have passed, the turbidity of the world has invaded, and he only eats less grains every day, and in recent years, he has clearly felt that the pure yang qi in his body is getting less and less, and the yin qi is still not reduced at allIf it weren't for his resolute heart, he would have collapsed long ago, if the pure yang qi in the body was exhausted, and the aura absorbed by the outside world was not enough to resist the invasion of yin qi, that is to say, his current cultivation speed was not even the initial consummation, and the little spiritual power in the body refining the aura was not enough for the speed of yin qi assimilation, and he couldn't improve the realm, and he couldn't increase the speed and quantity of absorbing the aura, then after the pure yang qi in the body was exhausted, then he would age rapidly and die under the invasion of yin qi。

This unintentional opportunity to insert willows instantly made Lin Jiu feel a glimmer of hope again. Anyway, he is already a dying person, and even if he dies by cultivating this inexplicable exercise, he will follow his wishes.

Lin Jiu had already made up his mind, kept the three-layer exercises and mantras in his heart, and then put the fragment into his arms.
