Chapter 40: Four Years of Ascension
Zhongnan Mountain is worthy of being a Taoist blessed land, and it is indeed Zhong Lingyuxiu.
Zhao Rong has witnessed a lot of strange and interesting things along the way, and it can be summed up that it is Sanduo.
One is that there are many hermits.
When a group of three people walked on the steep and dangerous path between the cliffs, or on the quiet winding paths in the lush mountain forest, they could see the reclusive monks sitting in the cave or on the bluestone, soaking up the dew in the dining glow, living in the mountains.
Second, there are many Taoists.
This Zhao Rong has long known, after all, the south of the country is a country of Taoist priests, in the villages or towns that Zhao Rong passed by, there are Taoist temples, incense is prosperous, and even sometimes, the three of them can see the ancient temple that is taken care of in the secluded and uninhabited mountains and forests, enshrined in the statue of the god that Zhao Rong does not know.
The people of Zhongnan are indeed very faithful, but Zhao Rong was also slightly surprised, because according to what he saw, although Zhongnan Mountain is fertile with water and soil, there is not much suitable for arable land and convenient life.
But he just thinks about it when he wanders, anyway, he is just passing by, and he doesn't need to worry about it.
The third is that there are many Confucian scholars, or many famous scholars.
This is what Zhao Rong didn't expect, but after walking for a while, Zhao Rong slowly learned that although Zhongnan Kingdom set Taoism as the state religion, it did not exclude Confucianism, and many middle and low-level officials were Confucians.
Well, a monarch who likes alchemy but can raise soldiers. Zhao Rong couldn't help laughing.
However, this phenomenon has also created a special Confucian atmosphere in the southern part of the country, and has cultivated a famous scholar who complements Confucianism and Taoism.
Along the way, Zhao Rong has seen the monks who show their breasts and indulge in drinking and singing, the scribes who have nowhere to go and cry in despair, and the madmen who take medicine and prostitute themselves in front of the bamboo forest wooden house.
I have seen a group of celebrities in the mountains and mountains, the dense forest and the bamboo, looking for a clear stream, flowing in the winding water, drinking and talking, talking endlessly, and staggering, and even when Zhao Rong and the three of them passed by, there were drunk people who saw Zhao Rong scholars dressed up, so they held a cup in one hand, grabbed a pen in the other, and stepped forward to invite Zhao Rong to drink and write poems together, but Zhao Rong declined, smiled and drank a glass of wine, and continued to hurry.
"It's really interesting to end up in the south country, but I'm just a passerby, not a returnee. Zhao Rong said softly.
This straightforward and flamboyant style of behavior reminded him of the Wei and Jin dynasties. Maybe when you're tired of the world, it's a good idea to come here and retreat?
"What's interesting? Why are they so shameless, just now Xiaoxiao saw a person in the banquet with a red face undressing and playing hooligan...... What a strange place this is. The little fox demon had a small face, and his tone was embarrassed, but his face was like a peach blossom, white and red.
Zhao Rong looked at her pink little face and wanted to pinch it gently, but just think about it, if she really dared to pinch it, she would probably blow her hair, just like she accidentally touched her hand last time, and she didn't know where her grandmother was sacred.
Although Su Xiaoxiao was a little stupid, she listened to her grandmother's words very much, and the "grandmother's quotations" that came out of her mouth, Zhao Rong couldn't count them, hey, in this way, this little fox demon is not so stupid.
"Zhao Rong, don't follow their example of hooliganism. ”
"Can you call a rogue a student?" Zhao Rong looked serious.
"What's that called?" the little fox demon's eyes widened.
This is called uninhibited, and it is a natural dissoluteness of the naked body. Zhao Rong's tone was leisurely. "With heaven and earth as the building, the mountains and forests as the pants, Su Xiaoxiao, why are you in my pants?"
"Phew!" Su Xiaoxiao blushed and didn't turn her head to ignore him. "Zhao Rong, Xiaoxiao doesn't care about you, you can learn badly. ”
But after finishing speaking, it seemed that he was really angry, and the little fox demon bit his lower lip, and for the first time mustered up the courage to reach out and "fiercely" hammer Zhao Rong with a punch.
was hit by a pink fist, Zhao Rong covered his chest with both hands, and his expression was painful.
"What kind of fist is this, it is so powerful and domineering!"
"Are you alright?" Su Xiaoxiaoqiao's face turned pale. "Xiaoxiao touched it gently. ”
"Don't come here, the fox fairy spares his life! You don't remember the villain, the prime minister can hold the boat in his belly, the moon sets and the sky is full of frost, and the husband and wife return home to ......."
Su Xiaoxiao: "???"
————
Zhao Rong and the three of them spent the night in a farmhouse, and the next day, Zhao Rong's rooster crowed, and after practicing for a while, he began to practice his daily boxing pile.
"Negative Mountain" has five types of fist piles.
Riding the dragon upside down, piercing the sword furnace, squeezing the elbow, taking a moment, lazy and tied.
At present, Zhao Rong is practicing the sword furnace, which is a kind of fingering, which is ten fingers to tie a hand shape, of which nine fingers constitute a furnace for forging swords, and the other finger is used to quench the sword.
According to Liu Sanbian, when he went into the mountains to practice boxing when he was young, he tied a sword furnace to resist the night cold.
Zhao Rong practiced hard, and when he saw that it was not too early, he stopped.
"Brother Sanchang said that the Ascending Heaven Realm is divided into three levels: Jinshi, Qingxu, and Zhenyi, and at present, I already have a sense of qi, and I am in the Jinshi stage, and the standing pile and medicinal bath are all for tempering muscles and bones. “
"If you want to break through to the clear void, you must find the innate vitality, the innate vitality is the most fundamental qi of the body, everyone has it, but the strength is different, and I am because of the physical problem, the innate vitality is very weak, so it is extremely difficult to find, the reason why I am fortunate to temper the body at present, is to strengthen it with the law of the day after tomorrow. “
"Hey, I don't know when I'll be able to clear the void. ”
Zhao Rong sighed, and suddenly remembered that someone seemed to have not spoken for a long time.
"Hey, return, what are you doing?"
After being silent for a while, Gui's voice sounded in the heart lake, I don't know if it was Zhao Rong's illusion, it was still very low, but it was not as hoarse as before, it seemed to be a little crisper?
In fact, if you listen to it every day, you may not feel anything, but these days, Zhao Rong is busy practicing and hurrying, and he has not had much time to communicate, so when he hears the sound of returning at this time, he can obviously detect the difference.
"Recently, this seat has recovered a bit. Thanks to the physical tempering and medicinal bath of your Golden Stone Realm, your divine soul has grown a little, and Fu Ya is relying on your soul, so this seat has also recovered, well, you continue to practice. ”
"When will I find the Innate Vitality?"
"Maybe, your innate vitality is already weak, and now you can only grow it full, and you can naturally find it to a certain extent, before that, unless it is an accident, it is impossible to find it in advance. ”
"How long will it take to grow naturally?"
"Count on your current practice progress...... About a year. ”
"So slow? ”
"It's also a year. ”
"Then from Zhenyi breakthrough to Fuyao. ”
"A year and a half, well, I'm talking about all of this without accident, and if you're not out of luck. ”
"That's too slow......"
Suddenly, Zhao Rong seemed to remember something. "Well, I remember it took her about four years to ascend to the Heavenly Realm, so I'm pretty fast. ”
Zhao Rong was instantly full of enthusiasm, and felt that his future cultivation life could be expected.
"Who is she?" Gui scoffed, "and can still give you this kind of confidence?"
After speaking, Gui said in a contemptuous tone, and said lazily: "Four years to ascend to the Heavenly Realm, heh, even if it is a waste material with the worst cultivation qualifications, as long as it is not the kind of congenital disability of the body, according to your current level of hard work, it will only be three and a half years, and she will have four more years? ”
Three and a half years Zhao Rong felt that something was wrong with this, but he couldn't care about it anymore, because he had greater doubts.
"She's Qingjun...... Zhao Lingfei. ”
Zhao Rong was stunned.
