Chapter 6: The First Journey to Immortality
When Jiang Li came to his senses, he found himself lying in a coffin, wrapped in a faint jade color, and he didn't think he couldn't breathe. On the contrary, his body was very comfortable, which surprised him.
The space inside the entire coffin was unusually spacious, and Jiang Li suspected that even if he stood up, he would not look cramped. Surrounded by mysterious runes, streamers entered from his body, making his soul and body more compatible. Even the wounds left by the previous battle on his body are gradually healing.
It's magical.
This thing in the immortal cultivation world is really not simple, and this feeling is very familiar, and that streamer is not nourishing his body and strengthening his soul all the time.
After settling down, Jiang Li reached out and pushed the lid on the top of his head, and found that it could be pushed open from the inside. This made his heart finally settle.
As long as he doesn't die here, although he suspects it, lying here, even if it is many years, he will not die.
"Squeak?" Jiang Li was about to go out when he felt the little thing in his arms move.
The little guy's small round eyes were a little confused, and he poked his head out of the placket of his shirt and looked around.
"I said you're a little guy, you're not big, but you're pretty powerful. Jiang Li slipped it out of the placket and put it in his eyes, and looked at it with a smile.
"Squeak?" the little guy tilted his head in confusion.
Then before Jiang Li could react, he stretched out his claws and grabbed it.
"I said, you little guy, why are you so violent. Jiang Li said angrily, waved his hand and threw it out.
Rubbed his face, which had been scratched by him. For fear of leaving some scars, leaving some hidden dangers, and ruining his image.
But this coffin is good for him, and it is probably good for this little thing. After thinking about it, he said to the little thing that grabbed the left and rubbed the right: "Little thing, follow me in the future, the master will take you to eat and drink spicy food, what is good about this ravine." ”
"Squeak?" the little thing glanced back, then turned right and pointed its ass at him.
Seeing its appearance, Jiang Li was not angry, and said: "I really don't know what kind of breed you are, like a squirrel, but you are covered in red hair and round, so I will tell you to roll in the future." ”
Jiang Li said that he felt very satisfied, ignored it, shook his wrist, reached out and pushed the lid of the coffin above his head open, and crawled out of it.
There is a body of water, and a small piece of land is raised in the middle, which is where the coffin is placed, and the whole space is very large, and if you want to go to the other side, you probably have to swim through.
Look up, on the rock wall of the four directions, the four beast-shaped carvings are vivid, such as dragons, such as tigers, such as birds, such as turtles, it is the green dragon, the white tiger, the vermilion bird, the four spirits of Xuanwu.
"Immortal Ruins!" Jiang Li muttered.
It turns out that it is not a legend, there is really something in this mountain.
"Hey, let's go, go over and have a look. Jiang Li turned around, shouted that he was still playing in the coffin, pinched his chin and said, "This coffin is good, but it's too big to take it back, it's a pity." I heard that there are storage bags or something in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, it should be able to hold it, and when the time comes, see if you can find one, come back and take it away. ”
A rolling swish ran up Jiang Li's shoulder, and two small paws were humanized around his chest, making Jiang Li laugh.
The water seemed to be very deep, and Jiang Li cautiously swam towards the opposite bank. The water was very cold, and he could feel that he was going to freeze to death, standing on his head, his smooth fluff was wet with water, and his expression was very serious, not as lively as before.
After advancing for a kilometer or so, Jiang Li felt that his body was finally warmer, and just when he was about to breathe a sigh of relief and hold on, he was about to go ashore.
"Squeak, squeak. The rolling cries looked a little anxious.
Jiang Li followed the direction of its scream, and saw that the originally calm lake began to ripple, and then, he saw a thick tail leap out of the water, and with a pump, it slapped him into the water.
"Ahem" The chest shook and hurt, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and fell directly to the bottom of the lake. Jiang Li covered his chest, held his breath and desperately swam upstream, and when he turned around, he saw a huge snake head biting towards him.
Rolling sprang out from his side, stretching out his claws and scratching at the snake's body, but only slightly blocking it.
The snake bowed slightly, turned around and bit towards the rolling.
But although the body is small, it is very flexible, and the claws are extremely sharp, one claw here, one claw there, but it can't help it for a while, and it doesn't get any cheap at all.
Jiang Li knew how powerful the little guy was, and he also knew that he was a few pounds and a few taels, so he didn't dare to get too far ahead. Suppressing the pain in his chest, he gripped the half-broken knife on his waist and carefully dodged it.
Hitting a snake and hitting seven inches doesn't matter how big you are and how long you practice.
I don't know if it was because he didn't run, and he was too weak, the giant snake didn't care about him, but only entangled with Rolling Roll wholeheartedly, but gave him a good chance.
The snake was pitch black, the scales were faintly shining, and the snake's head was a little flat, giving him the most intuitive feeling that it was big, and it was poisonous, and if he was accidentally bitten, it was estimated that he would die.
Jiang Li tried his best to reduce his sense of existence, and when he rolled down with another paw and brought down a few scales, he found the opportunity to stab at the position seven inches below his abdomen.
"Whew"
As soon as the knife went down, the snake's belly began to bleed, and before Jiang Li could be happy, the enraged giant snake turned its head and was about to bite him. Seeing that this was wrong, Jiang Li kicked on the giant snake, kicked his legs, and avoided a blow with the help of inertia.
"Attack where it was injured. Jiang Li shouted at the rolling, and then immediately reached out to hug the giant snake, grabbed the snake scales in his hand, and stabbed the wound again.
How could the snake do what he wanted, the snake writhed wildly and tried to throw it off. But Jiang Li grabbed the scales and didn't let go.
His head was shaken, and his arms were already powerless.
Jiang Li's heart was ruthless, he gritted his teeth, regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, holding a broken knife in his hand, and poked at the small wound.
But after all, the strength is too weak, or there is no strength at all, this mess is useless except to make the giant snake more intense, Jiang Li's psychology is cool and cool.
Just when he couldn't stand it anymore and was thrown out by the tail of the giant snake, and then the snake tail was about to pump on him again, a bead suddenly burst out from the center of his eyebrows, and a shield protected Jiang Li in it.
"Roar. ”
A beast roar came, Jiang Li turned his head, and saw that the originally fiery red body of Rolling was rapidly enlarged, replaced by a black spherical shape that emitted heat.
Jiang Li couldn't hold back, and spit out a mouthful of blood directly.
"My people, do you dare to move?" As if words came from ancient times, endless coercion instantly enveloped the entire space. The four sides of the rock wall belong to the four spirit stone statues, and under this roar, they are cut off from their heads.
The serpent seemed to have encountered the ultimate fear, and its body was entrenched together, and its head lay down, letting out a painful hiss.
Jiang Li saw that the lake began to boil, and the giant snake began to melt little by little in Jiang Li's eyes.
"That's awesome. Jiang Li opened his mouth and looked at the black ball stupidly.
After the giant snake disappeared completely, the black ball flashed red, and the little thing turned into a little squirrel and fell down. Jiang Li stretched out his hand to take it, and looked at it as if it had become hairy again, and felt sad for a while.
In just one day, he was injured twice. Looking at the appearance of the little thing, I thought that cultivating immortals was actually quite good, at least not before the danger came, and I didn't even have the ability to protect myself.
Jiang Li sighed, put the little thing in his arms, and swam to the shore.
Fortunately, there was nothing in the way this time, and I climbed ashore smoothly and stood in front of a stone gate.
There were runes engraved on it, Jiang Li looked familiar, it seemed to be the same as in the jade coffin, and he stretched out his hand to push it, but the stone door actually opened a gap by itself. Jiang jumped and took a step back. After a while, there was still no change, and then he had the courage to reach out and push hard.
"Boom"
The sound of the door opening sounded in this silent space, with a heavy sense of history, opening the treasures that had been sealed underground for tens of thousands of years. Flying dust paved the surface, Jiang Li covered his nose and coughed lightly.
The whole space doesn't look big, with a table and a futon in the middle, and a few large boxes sealed on the cabinet next to it, as well as a lot of large and small Dan bottles.
There were three things on the table that attracted Jiang Li's attention.
A book, a ring, and a black wooden box.
After confirming that there was no danger, Jiang Li picked up the book and opened it carefully.
"Hongmeng has no surname at the beginning, and Wukong is needed to break the stubbornness. ”
This is a book of exercises called "Hongmeng Jue", which is divided into nine layers. Jiang Li flipped from beginning to end, and as soon as he finished reading it, the whole book turned into a streamer of light into his eyebrows.
Jiang Li's eyes widened, and he couldn't accept it.
If memory serves, he still has a bead in his head, and that's one more book. This thing in the immortal cultivation world is good, but it always runs into the mind.
But how do you take this thing out? As soon as he thought about it, a bead floated in front of him, and rubbed his face very kindly.
"What are you?" Jiang Li rubbed his hand, and after feeling the connection between the two, he was very curious. And that exercise has also been linked to his soul, and the content in it is extremely clear.
Interesting.
"Let's go back. Jiang Li said. The bead swooped into his brow.
He carefully rubbed his eyebrows and muttered, "It's really amazing." ”
After reading the book, he looked at the ring next to him, thinking to himself, this can't be a storage ring, but how can he recognize the owner?
Blood?
Thinking so, that's what he did.
Biting his finger, a drop of blood dropped. I saw that the originally gray ring glowed with purple light, the appearance gradually cracked, and the outermost layer began to fall off. Reveal the original appearance.
Jiang Li looked carefully, it was a purple ring, with silver edges, engraved with patterns that he couldn't understand, it looked simple and atmospheric, and it automatically fit the size when it was carried on the hand.
As soon as his mind moved, a purple spear appeared in his hand, the size of his body. Simply shook it, as if there was a sound of breaking wind, and stabbed the wall hard, and the whole room shook.
"Good thing, evil spirit, good name. Jiang Li's eyes are full of little stars.
This is at least an artifact, but it's a pity that he can't even send out one ten-thousandth of his power now. After thinking about it again, it returned to the shape of the ring, and after carefully groping for a while, I couldn't put it down.
I originally thought it was a storage ring, but it was just a great weapon, and it wasn't bad.
Finally, he turned his gaze to the black wooden box. It's not special, it's like throwing it everywhere.
Jiang Li was very excited, this should be something.
But when he opened it, he was a little disappointed.
There was a key in it, and as for what it was used to open it, he looked around and saw that there was no such place.
Looking at the things on the shelves again, the boxes were filled with white stones, all kinds of pill bottles, and finally he found a storage ring, which also contained a lot of white stones, as well as some jade boxes. He flipped through it, and it was some herbs he didn't recognize. There are also some books, but the text on them, the reward has not been understood for a long time, so I can only scratch my head and put it aside first, what kind of ancient text should it be, after all, these are almost all cultural relics.
But how do you get out?
Jiang Li was worried.
This place looks big, but in fact, it didn't take long to walk around, and I was a little hungry after this leisure.
The package was long gone, and now he had nothing to eat, and he sat weakly by the water's edge in a daze.
Thinking that if the snake didn't even have bones left, it would be able to feed itself, and in the end he only drank a few mouthfuls of water.
Thinking about it, he suddenly collapsed, stared at the lake for a long time, and then cracked his mouth and smiled.
This lake is originally formed by the flow of an underground river, and there must be a road leading to the outside below. Since there are snakes leading outside, there must be fish as well.
Jiang Li walked back and forth at the water's edge with short legs, and finally clenched his left hand into a fist and hammered his right hand, and said, "Cultivate first, and then throw the rolling into the coffin to recuperate, it is so powerful, there will definitely be a way when the time comes." ”
Thinking so, he swam straight back to the coffin, threw the roll in, and after thinking about it, he sat in it himself. That sense of soul satisfaction came over him immediately, and it made his mind clearer.
Sitting cross-legged in the coffin, Hongmeng Jue lit up in the sea of self-knowledge. Jiang Li thought about what was said in it, calmed his mind, hugged Yuan Shouyi, attracted the aura of heaven and earth, and impacted the muscles and veins in his body.
Jiang Li felt surrounded by various streamers, which was very good-looking, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned. Following what is said in the book, carefully inhale the aura into the body, and then go towards the major points and the various tendons and veins one by one.
The process is slow and dangerous at the same time.
Channeling qi into the body is the first step in a monk's formal cultivation, and many times there are elders on the side to take care of it, and if it is not controlled well, it is likely to cause the tendons and veins to break.
But Jiang Li didn't know about it, and even no matter what aura was absorbed into his body, it was very unrealistic for outsiders.
Spiritual energy and spiritual root fit, in order to better absorb aura, just like the fire spiritual root can not absorb water spiritual power, heaven and earth are based on earth, water, fire and wind, set the universe Yin and Yang, and the five elements are mutually reinforced. But at this time, it doesn't seem to work in Jiangli here.
This also prompted Jiang Li to absorb the aura faster than five times faster than a normal person.
But at this time, no one told him this, just followed the feeling, guided the aura to run along the body for a week, and then only heard a "poof" sound. The aura that was free from all around frantically converged towards Jiang Li, colorful points of light surrounded Jiang Li, and black things emerged from Jiang Li's body, gradually piling up a thick layer. The body reaches an unprecedented level of ease.
The beads that were originally in the sea of knowledge jumped happily twice and jumped directly to his dantian, emitting a faint fluorescence. Just like a filter, all the spiritual energy is converted into purer spiritual energy through the beads, and after a week of circulation, it gathers in the dantian, making the spiritual power more condensed.
"Mixed Yuan Beads. At this time, Jiang Li really knew what this thing was, and the connection between himself and the Mixed Yuan Zhu was even clearer, as if engraved in his soul.
"What a baby. Jiang Li opened his eyes when he thought about it, and before the smile reached the bottom of his eyes, he was smoked into tears by the stench all over his body.
I jumped into the water decisively and soaked for nearly three hours, and I felt that there was no smell on my body, so I crawled out. Look at your arms again, they are white and tender, and they are very translucent.
"It feels pretty good. Jiang Li muttered to himself. Feel the power in your body again, and know that you have now successfully entered the body and reached the first level of qi training, which can be regarded as stepping into the threshold of cultivating immortals.
Seeing that he was still asleep and didn't mean to wake up, Jiang Li closed his eyes again and began to look for the feeling just now.
