Chapter 27 Half a year out
After finding the spiritual cave, Xu Dao spent some time and successfully transformed the cave into his own cave.
He dug out a hill-like rock in the rock wall, so that the highest point in the cave was five or six zhang, and the whole space was cone-shaped, supported by stone pillars, and surrounded by rock-paved waterways at the bottom, and the water continued to flow.
Because of the blessing of the three-talent formation, the sunlight and moonlight from the outside world will form a projection and hang on the top of the cave, which is shaped like a small sun and moon, making the light in the house the same as the outside world.
When Xu Dao practiced every day, he either sat in the cave and swallowed the moonlight gathered by the formation, or the yin god went out of the mansion and directly bathed in the moonlight from the outside world.
Time passed day by day.
He also sat in the cave and meditated day by day.
Continuing to stay in the cave, Xu Dao did not feel that his life was boring, at most he would recall the fragrant and good deeds of a certain day, but he did not go out to find You Bing because of this, but continued to bury his head in the cave and practice.
......
Soon, half a year passed in a flash.
For the ascetic Xu Dao, this half a year was like a snap of his fingers, and he didn't even have time to react, and when he came back to his senses, he found that half a year had passed.
In the past six months, he simply did only two things, one of which was to pour out the moonlight every day without interruption and polish the true qi.
The second is to practice Qi refining level spells.
Compared to when he first entered Qi refining, the amount of True Qi in his body had increased by three or four times, but it was still in the early stage of Qi refining, and he was quite far from breaking through to the middle stage of Qi refining.
If he wanted to break through from the early night travel realm to the mid-day travel realm, Xu Dao needed to make his yin god able to withstand the scorching of the sun, bathe his whole body with the sun, and turn poison into spirit.
When ordinary Daoists think of achieving this, they first need to spend the effort of water milling to accumulate true qi little by little, and they need to refine qi for at least ten years before they can use their physical bodies to swallow the essence of the sun.
After reaching this level, the Taoist disciples in the White Bone Temple can go to the liao courtyard to exchange for spells that specialize in swallowing the essence of the sun, and once the spell is cultivated to the realm of Dacheng, and the talisman is transformed into the Yin God, he can achieve a daily journey and walk freely under the sun.
Xu Dao is still a long way from this level, and he is far from using the spell of swallowing the sun essence.
But after he withdrew from the state of cultivation, he sat on a bluestone in the central pool of the cave, and silently thought in his heart:
"The concept of swallowing the essence of the sun is different from the spell of self-defense and defending against the enemy, it belongs to the fundamental method of breathing that can grow and break through the cultivation, and the spell commonly used in the view is the "Great Ricai Refining Method", the price is five hundred gongs, and only in the dormitory, it is not allowed to sell similar tricks in the ghost market. ”
Five hundred Dao Gong, relying on Xu Dao's monthly income alone, needs to accumulate for as many as four years without eating or drinking.
He thought for a moment: "Although the Taoist temple is not strict with the Taoist disciples in the temple, it is still restrained by various means, and if you want to cultivate diligently, you naturally have to contribute to the Taoist temple." ”
Xu Dao sighed secretly: "I still need to take the initiative to take one or two tasks in the view, and find a way to make a living, so as to accumulate Dao Gong and Fu money." ”
In the past six months, although Xu Dao has had a small gathering with other Taoists, he basically does not ask about the world and cultivates wholeheartedly.
Because the chores in the temple would delay time, and the task of going out was dangerous, he did not even complete a task.
Now that half a year has passed, he has to go to the dormitory to take on a task to contribute to the Taoist temple.
If it is postponed for too long, the Taoist temple will directly reduce his salary, or even determine that he has a tendency to apostate, and arrest him in the temple for questioning.
Xu Dao didn't want his fortune to be cut or wanted by the Taoist temple, so he also had to end the retreat and think about going out to complete the Taoist mission.
"The chores took too long, so I still went to pick up an out-of-town task, and it was completed in three or five days. ”
Thinking clearly, Xu Dao was sure in his heart, and he immediately escaped from the Yin God, shook his body, and flew outside the cave.
After leaving the cave, Xu Dao did not fly directly to the White Bone Temple as a yin god, but flew away from the cave for several miles, drove left and right for a while, and found a group of red-eyed crows squatting on the branches to rest.
The crow crowed, and even the crow raised its eyes and stared at Xu Dao gloomily.
"Huh!" Xu Dao didn't pay attention to them, drank lightly in his mouth, chose the largest of them, and suddenly burrowed into the crow's body.
The crow's body shook, and his eyes showed a humanized gaze, and he immediately fluttered his wings and left the crows, and flew straight to the mountain gate of the White Bone Temple.
During the half-year retreat, Xu Dao had successfully cultivated the three spells with the help of the Characterless Ring.
The first of them is a spell to clear the heart and calm the qi, called "Ice Heart Jade Pot Visualization Pure Heart Map", which is a Taoist spell to clear the mind, can visualize itself as an ice clean jade pot, cut distracting thoughts, cut off delusions, and cultivate an "ice heart".
After the spell is cultivated, every time the Taoist visualizes himself as a jade pot, he can immediately calm his mind and suppress the distracting thoughts in his brain, which has the effect of preventing microaggressions and reducing the effect of going mad.
With the help of the non-character basket, Xu Dao spent a lot of money and food, and directly cultivated this technique to the realm of Dacheng.
The visualization pattern of the spell condensed into a talisman seed, planted in his mind, which could turn delusion into an ice heart at any time, so that he would not be easily troubled by illusions and distracting thoughts.
It was precisely because of the blessing of this spell that he was able to continue to cultivate in the cave for half a year, without feeling lonely and depressed at all.
And with Dacheng's "Ice Heart Jade Pot Visualization Pure Heart Diagram", Xu Dao has cultivated the first layer of kung fu in the "Three Corpses Sacrifice Body Technique", and he has also cultivated most of it, and he can lean over and act in the body of snakes and insects.
But because he still lacked the experience and materials to raise Gu, he hadn't yet cultivated the "Yin Gu", so he couldn't be considered a cultivator.
The above two spells could not directly improve Xu Dao's strength, so he also purchased another Qi refining grade spell in the liao courtyard.
This technique is called "Python Swallowing Snake Entanglement", which is a qigong technique.
After cultivating Xiaocheng, once the Taoist uses the spell, his true qi will come out of the body, and a snake python will surround the body.
At the same time, the Taoist can also take the initiative to hit the python energy from the sleeve to kill the enemy.
When cultivating to the realm of Dacheng and planting the talisman, the Taoist walks, sits and lies down, and there are two pythons around him at any time, covering the top and bottom, and constantly supporting the Taoist.
Xu Dao now dares to go out of the customs and is thinking about taking on the task of going out, because he has also cultivated this talisman qigong to the fullest in half a year.
With every breath he breathes, two lines of energy squirm around his body, supporting him up and down.
With this hand qigong technique alone, Xu Dao has been able to do a game with a Taoist disciple who has been refining qi for three or five years.
It can be seen that during the half-year retreat, he has gained a lot!
He hadn't been out of the customs for a long time, Xu Dao turned into a crow and flew in the mist, and he felt wanton and free for a while.
Shout!
He fluttered his crow wings, knocked down one or two pitch-black feathers, and flew directly into the dormitory......
