In this world, sometimes, the difficult thing is to endure loneliness, cultivate yourself hard, and make yourself stronger little by little.

Since Shangguan Yi talked to the old man that day, he had no worries at all, and he began his cultivation career. Majoring in "Taoism", minoring in some other exercises, I have time to study "Strange Tricks", "The Way of the Soldier", and occasionally flip through other books. When you are hungry, you hunt, or pick fruits, I have to say that since Shangguan Yi looked at a naturalist in the secret stories of the rivers and lakes, as well as the method of making bows and crossbows in "Strange Tricks and Tricks", Shangguan Yi was finally able to survive in the mountains under the condition that the old man was free-range and didn't even care about food.

Oh, no, it may be a bit inappropriate to describe it as "living", to be precise, as three months have passed, Shangguan Yi has been at ease on this hill, and he is simply a little bully.

And his "Dao Law Heart Sutra" is also approaching the entry level in a steady and steady way, that is, he has quickly cultivated to the first level. Regarding Shangguan Yi's entry, the old man didn't say anything. Shangguan Yi didn't know whether his cultivation speed was fast or slow, but he was already very satisfied, after all, according to the codex left by his predecessors who had cultivated, the cultivation of this internal skill was very slow, and people without talent might not be able to practice the third layer in their lifetime, and the third layer was the real beginning.

Of course, Shangguan Yi's biggest gain these days is not these, but when he was chasing his prey, emmm, a hare, he found the red fruit.

Naturalist Records:

Red fruit is a kind of fruit that only appears when the red fruit is about to ripen, and it is beneficial to eat it for forging the body, and the size of the benefit is related to the color, and it is speculated that the darker the red fruit, the closer it is to the red finch fruit.

Vermilion Bird Fruit, one of the divine medicines that carry faith, has the ability to transform the person who takes it, and it is rumored that it can even bring back to life the newly deceased. There are generally spiritual snake red flames waiting around it, and when the vermilion bird fruit is ripe, it is also the time when the spirit snake red flame crosses the millennium tribulation.

Thousands of years of tribulation, all things have spirits, people are born as the primates of all things, favored by heaven and earth, and their wisdom far exceeds that of other species, but their lifespan is not long, at least compared to beasts such as spirit species, but they don't need to spend thousands of years. According to the research of predecessors, many beasts are born with a long life, and among them there are spirit species, if there is no accident, they can even live for thousands of years. It's a pity that every spirit seed that lives for a thousand years must rely on external objects to break through the shackles and gain the ability to continue to survive, otherwise they will die for various reasons. Some predecessors speculated that it was the evolution of heavenly principles, the laws of nature, which could not be changed, and with the exploration of generations, the spirit seed was finally named the Millennium Tribulation during this time.

Spirit snake red flame, the companion spirit species of Vermilion Bird Fruit, has fire poison in the body, if bitten, the toxin will destroy the muscles in the body, and at the same time will evaporate the blood, as if a fire is lit in the body, it is very dangerous, it is recommended to cut it off in time if it is poisoned. Red Flame's body is three feet long, about two fingers wide, agile and dangerous, and its blood seems to have a wonderful use, and there is too little information to verify.

The red fruit that Shangguan Yi found was extremely light in color, obviously a little far away from the Vermilion Bird Fruit, and it seemed to be in another mountain. Shangguan Yi thought about it, and still told the old man about the Vermilion Bird Fruit. It's not that he wants to swallow anything to himself, not to mention the spirit snake Chiyan that Shangguan Yi can't beat, and he doesn't mention whether this news will spread after being discovered by others, attracting all kinds of cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods. In terms of motivation alone, Shangguan Yi is alive and well now, and he doesn't need any Vermilion Bird Fruit to save his life, and his cultivation is also steady and steady, although he is still a weak chicken, but Shangguan Yi definitely has no idea of taking shortcuts, Yijiazi's internal strength is certainly very attractive, but only what he cultivates little by himself is the most stable and powerful.

The old man and Shangguan Yi's opinion on this point is almost the same, after listening to Shangguan Yi say this, he looked at Shangguan Yi lightly, and said: "To the south of the hundred miles, there is a mountain named Cangwu, towering into the clouds, there is a vicissitudes of water below, and in the direction of the water behind the cangwu, there is a spirit snake red flame, commanding a hundred insects." ”

Shangguan Yi scratched his head and said, "You already know about this, don't you have any ideas?"

The old man shook his head and said, "Calculate the time, it will mature in about two years." This thing is useless to me now, I've lived enough in this life, it's not impossible if you want to fight, the poison of the red flame should be useless to you, sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, see if there is a chance. After a pause, the old man continued: "In my generation's cultivation, it is taboo to be ambitious, and if it is not necessary, it is best not to use external objects. ”

Shangguan Yi naturally knew that the old man was not just talking about the Vermilion Bird Fruit, so he nodded helplessly and explained: "I just want to pick a little red fruit with better medicinal effect, and I want to make something else that will be used." But I'm afraid I'll get into an accident if I go too far..."

The old man seemed to hear Shangguan Yi's intention to catch coolies as bodyguards, and threw him a sentence, "It's still the same sentence, I don't care about you what you want to do, and the "Dao Law" is not allowed to leave this mountain without entering the door." Then he closed his eyes and recuperated his nerves, and motioned to Shangguan Yi to stay cool.

Shangguan Yi was a little helpless for a moment, since the last time he took advantage of the old man's guidance to practice the Dao Law, he took out the nearest town from the old man's mouth and was only fifty miles away. He kind of wanted to run out to see and see, buy some necessities and come back, although not everything was needed for firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, but clothes or something still had to be had, and some utensils.

Shangguan Yi faintly felt that the old man would not let him go out, so he planned to run out secretly, relying on some of his own small things, self-defense should not be a problem, and there should be no strong people in the wilderness, right?

But what kind of person is the old man? He has lived for so long, and he has seen many more people and worldly affairs than Shangguan Yi, and when he accidentally said something that day, when he saw Shangguan Yi's small appearance, he knew what he was thinking, and immediately strictly forbade Shangguan Yi to go out of the mountain, and he had to wait for his "Dao Fa" to reach the first level of cultivation.

Shangguan Yi had no choice but to be honest every day, practicing "Taoism" step by step in the morning, practicing swords in the morning, light skills in the afternoon, reading books in the evening, and studying some of the side ways that he was more interested in, such as the disfigurement and shrinking bone technique, the mechanism technique, the formation or something, the boring life can also be fulfilling, and he has developed a habit and is on the right track.

The old man saw it in his eyes, and he was a little relieved in his heart, saying that he didn't care, but in fact, how could he not care, this was the person he had waited for a long time to inherit the torch. According to this trajectory, as long as he can cultivate steadily for thirty years, there will be another master on the rivers and lakes, and his martial arts are still first-class. This kid's perception is very high, really high.

The old man will not tell Shangguan Yi about these things, because there is no need, he will see it when he is old, and his young ambition should not be imposed on others, not to mention that this kid still has his own revenge to avenge.

I have to say that there is a providence in the dark, and the old man can have such an intersection with Shangguan Yi, in fact, the two of them are very similar: I guessed a little bit about some things, but I don't ask if you don't say it. If you want to solve it yourself, you can solve it yourself, and if you can't solve it, ask me for help, and I won't shirk it, and I have a tacit understanding.

A few days later, in the early morning, Shangguan Yi sat cross-legged on a stone on the mountain, facing the direction of the sunrise, quietly practicing the "Dao Law", waiting for the first rays of sunshine in the morning.

Today is the hundredth day of his formal cultivation of the Dao Law, and it is also the time for Shangguan Yi to really get started.

The reason why Shangguan Yi is so confident in cultivating the first layer of the "Dao Law" today is because this internal skill is indeed not ordinary, it pays attention to a heavenly time, favorable place, and people, and when the first three layers are in order, early morning is the fastest time to cultivate into the realm, and only in the early morning can the internal force of cultivation be transformed into the Dao Qi recorded in the "Dao Law". Only by accumulating enough Dao Qi can it be planted in the dantian and truly enter the first layer of the Dao Law. The amount of Dao Qi required in this process varies from person to person, and the quality of Dao Qi condensed by different people is also uneven.

Today is the hundredth day, and it is also the day when Shangguan Yi condenses the hundredth wisp of Dao Qi, this amount is not the limit that Shangguan Yi can bear, and it is even a little far from the upper limit. But Shangguan Yi decided to use this as a seed to enter the first layer of the "Dao Law" and not pursue that limit. The reason is naturally not that Shangguan Yi can't help the temptation or can't bear the loneliness, but that the program of the "Dao Law" is to go with the flow, and Shangguan Yi faintly feels that a hundred wisps of Dao Qi are the best choice.

The Codex of the "Dao Fa" has the views of the predecessors on the introduction, but they are not consistent, and they cannot convince each other, after all, according to the records, only one person in each generation has practiced the internal skill of the "Dao Fa", and sometimes it is even passed down from generation to generation. As we all know, the living cannot talk to the dead. In order to make the juniors believe or have a little comparison mind, most of these seniors wrote down their entry and achievements, but Shangguan Yi just watched the excitement and didn't take it to heart.

He was more in favor of going with the flow and not pursuing the idea of a limit of Dao Qi entry, as for the fierce ancestors of a wisp of Dao Qi Breaking Grandmaster, Shangguan Yi felt that he couldn't compare.

The sun gradually rose, Shangguan Yi condensed the hundredth wisp of Dao Qi, blended them into a small seed and planted them in his dantian, and walked for two small weeks according to the method of the first layer of the "Dao Law", and the internal force spontaneously circulated in the body, and the first layer was completed, and the work was harvested!

Shangguan Yi slowly opened his eyes, turned his head and saw the old man standing behind him, quickly stood up, and said, "I have entered the first layer of the Dao Law!" Even if he is a Buddha, the joy of finally succeeding after so many days of hard work cannot be hidden, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows are full of joy.

The old man nodded, with a hint of approval in his eyes: "Well, from today onwards, your cultivation can be regarded as completely on the right track, just continue according to your plan." After a pause, he continued: "I wouldn't have stayed in one place for too long, but I only stayed for a while because of you, and now that you have cultivated the first layer of the Dao Law, I don't have to worry about it in the future, and now I should also go." You can take what you need here, and you can take it with you when you go, remember to be careful and calm when you walk the rivers and lakes. ”

Shangguan Yi was slightly startled, he knew that the old man would definitely not stay here forever, but he didn't expect the old man to leave so soon. He was a little reluctant, and a little panicked, after all, the two of them had been together for more than three months, and the relationship was still there, and the old man was left alone, and it was really a little lonely to stay alone in this broken place. But Shangguan Yi won't say anything to keep it, the old man said this, it means that he has made up his mind, and he also has his own reasons, Shangguan Yi will definitely not be able to keep it.

So in the end, Shangguan Yi just nodded to indicate that he remembered, and the old man explained a little more and left the same day.

Shangguan Yi was very depressed, he had broken through and gained the right to go down the mountain to the waves, it should be double the happiness, but now that he was stirred up by the old man, the taste changed, he must have done it on purpose, this broke the old man, cursed him to walk and wrestle, hum.

Depressed for a while, Shangguan Yi continued today's homework, but took a little time to prepare something for himself, he was going down the mountain!

The ancients said: "It is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books." "Since I have broken through, my strength should have a qualitative leap, at this time, of course, I will do something to stabilize it, and by the way, I will see if I can find some information that keeps pace with the times. The old man really didn't lie to him, the pile of books in the basement certainly recorded a lot of very secret secrets of the rivers and lakes, and even whether the leader of a certain big force had a second wife or not, and it was very exciting and enjoyable to watch, but after a long time, it was out of touch with the present, and it was okay to pass the time, and it was basically useless. Therefore, in that pile of books, Shangguan Yi memorized only a few naturalist chronicles, mountain and river geographical atlases, and read the others.

This whole day, Shangguan Yi was very busy, on the one hand, he was doing his daily homework, and on the other hand, he had to prepare his luggage for tomorrow's departure, which was actually his small invention, and some food, and then took a pair of ordinary and tacky earrings from the cellar, but seeing that the material was made of gold, when the time came, he would use the earrings as the cost of buying things. I don't seem to need much, a pair of earrings is enough.

The rest of the time... It's a bit embarrassing to say, Shangguan Yi used it to chase a rabbit, and what is even more embarrassing is that he hasn't caught up yet. Of course, this is not the most humiliating, the most humiliating thing is... This rabbit is the one who made him stumble upon the red fruit.

Yes, Shangguan Yi chased it for more than a month in his spare time, racking his brains, setting traps with intrigue, shooting with homemade bows and arrows, and chasing with light skills, all to no avail. People are still alive and well, and they are very moisturized.

In a hundred days, Shangguan Yi has lived as a tyrant in the small broken mountain from the first time he first came, and this rabbit has made Shangguan Yi disgraced and embarrassed, and the animals in the little broken mountain dare not provoke this rabbit. It seems to constitute a biological chain in which the rabbit bullies Shangguan Yi, Shangguan Yi bullies others, and the old man does not participate.

After Shangguan Yi hastily ate something at night, he fell asleep with the resentment that he didn't catch the evil rabbit again, and he will set off tomorrow.
