"It's been 30 years, but I didn't expect the old scene to be the same. Pei Lingyun was dressed in a black robe, standing on a steep rock, looking at the beautiful scenery of Tianchi in front of him, and stood with his hands in his hands.

The water of Tianchi Lake is clear and turquoise, like a mirror. The surrounding sixteen strange and steep mountain peaks stand near the pond, and when they are reflected in the mirror, you can see the sparkling mountain shadows, which is very spectacular.

The sky above Tianchi is a flowing cloud and rapid fog is unpredictable, sometimes the clouds and mist are elegant, sometimes the drizzle is misty. Pei Lingyun's slender figure stood on top of this silver-covered heavenly pool, and it was impossible to tell whether it was reality or illusion from a distance.

"Pei Shang Xian! In the past thirty years, the disciples have been missing Shangxian all the time!" Hu Xiaoling's fat figure was a terrible scenery, and the exaggerated Taoist robe was agitated by the mountain wind, like a field chicken lying on the edge of the mirror.

Pei Lingyun chuckled and said, "Stop claiming to be my disciple, I never told you that I wanted to take you as an apprentice." ”

Hu Xiaoling nodded like a hen pecking rice: "The disciple understands, the disciple understands." Although Pei Shangxian has never said that he wants to accept me Hu Xiaoling as a disciple, I, Hu Xiaoling, have always regarded Pei Shangxian as a master in my heart. If it weren't for the Five Elements Cultivation Decision that Pei Shangxian gave his disciple to complete, I, Hu Xiaoling, would never have been able to achieve today's achievements!"

Pei Lingyun was silent for a moment and said, "You should have guessed that I am not from this realm." ”

Hu Xiaoling's narrowed eyes flashed, and she hurriedly fell to the ground and said, "The disciple knows that Pei Shangxian is a monk from the cultivation realm, not a person from this realm. Over the years, it has been difficult for the disciples to make progress in their cultivation, and although the disciples think that their qualifications are poor, they can be diligent and can make up for their shortcomings, and practice and meditate every day, but they still can't make an inch of progress in their cultivation. Then I realized that even the spiritual power of heaven and earth on this Changbai Mountain was extremely thin, and it was obvious that only the place where Pei Shang Immortal came could the disciple's cultivation be enhanced, and even expected to build a foundation!"

Pei Lingyun shook his head and said: "You are still too naïve, the matter of building a foundation is very difficult, even when I built the foundation, I prepared a lot, and I took a foundation building pill to be able to build a foundation." And you are already over half a hundred years old, and your cultivation is only nine layers in the Qi training period, and the best cultivation for building a foundation is the Great Perfection of the Qi training period, which is the thirteenth layer of the Qi training period. Zhuji Dan is even regarded as a treasure by the Xiuzhen sect family, how can you get it if you have no power or power? You are already like this in your life, instead of going to the Xiuzhen Realm to run into a wall, why don't you stay here and be a Hu Daxian, wouldn't you be at ease?"

"Disciple understands!" Hu Xiaoling still insisted: "The disciple only hopes that Pei Shangxian can give the disciple a promise, if you want to leave this realm and go to the cultivation realm, please also take the disciple with you." As long as Pei Shangxian is willing to agree to his disciple's request, he will repay Pei Shangxian with all his heart!"

Looking at Hu Xiaoling, who was lying on the ground, but was still determined to go to the cultivation world, Pei Lingyun sighed and said, "Okay, since you are so determined, then I should also go." Anyway, you're the old man I met thirty years ago. ”

"But I have a request, if you go with me to the cultivation world, then these disciples of yours, including Wanyan Long'er of the Heavenly Spirit Root, must be dealt with by me, and you must not ask. Pei Lingjun continued.

Hu Xiaoling was slightly stunned, but soon she understood, and hurriedly bowed her head and said: "The disciple's disciple is Pei Shangxiao's disciple and grandson, and how to deal with it is naturally up to Pei Shangxian to decide." ”

Pei Lingyun nodded, then took out an iron ruler from the storage bag and said, "This is a low-grade flying magic weapon, so I will give it to you." It will also make it easier for you to manage those disciples for me. ”

Hu Xiaoling took the iron ruler and was overjoyed. She has been dreaming of flying magic weapons for a long time, but she doesn't know how to refine them, even if she has practiced the ninth layer of the Qi period, she still hasn't really practiced the magic weapon.

Immediately, Hu Xiaoling kowtowed again and again, thanking Pei Lingyun for giving him the magic weapon. When he raised his head again, Pei Lingyun had already risen with a weapon, turned into a streamer and went straight to the cave where he had stayed before.

Hu Xiaoling stood up and carefully observed the iron ruler magic weapon. The demeanor is no longer as simple as before, but quite shrewd.

She checked the iron ruler for a moment, then put it away. looked at the direction in which Pei Lingyun disappeared, and then with a slight tiptoe on his toes, the whole person jumped several feet in the air, and each step jumped out of the distance of dozens of steps walked by ordinary people. It also soon disappeared at the top of the snow-capped mountain.

Leaving the city of Neyin Mountain, Wu Lu and the others got into the carriage again and traveled for more than 100 miles, and finally arrived at Hu Xiaoling's perennial practice, the Fox Immortal Cave.

The Fox Immortal Cave is located deep in the dense forest on the northern slope of Changbai Mountain, which should be uninhabited, but there is a small village between the ravines and valleys, which are composed of mortal believers who believe in Hu Xiaoling and worship her.

These mortals built villages and lived by hunting, and the furs and wild goods they hunted were sold in Dazhai a hundred and ten miles away in exchange for food.

Hu Xiaoling arranged a place for Wu Lu and the other five people, all of which were small cabins within a few hundred zhang of the vicinity of the Fox Immortal Cave, which were built by the owner of the spiritual root who had cultivated with Hu Xiaoling before. Now that most of those spiritual root owners are gone, the wooden house is naturally more than half empty.

Although the wooden house is made of logs, it can't block snakes, insects, rats and ants, but the tables, chairs and beds are complete. Wu Lu cleaned up his wooden house, and heard a girl calling outside the door.

When Wu Lu opened the door, he saw Li Youhe leading Li Shanxuan to stand at the door.

Li Shanxuan was so young, and he could only speak Korean, Li Youhe and his wife were not very relieved, so they asked Li Youhe to take care of him.

I don't know if this Li Youji has decided Wu Law, and actually chose another wooden house that is only a few dozen zhang away from the wooden house where Wu Law is located.

Li Youhe repeatedly asked Wu Lu to take care of Li Shanxuan, after all, Li Youhe looked around, and he only had a reason with Wu Lu, so he always looked for opportunities to get close to Wu Lu.

When the father and daughter left, the two of them walked in the direction of Wu Lu, but it was Zhou Luowei and Gao Tianbao.

Zhou Luowei seemed to be very annoyed by Gao Tianbao like a fart, but Gao Tianbao didn't know it, and bragged to Zhou Luowei about his prestige on the streets of Dengzhou.

When she saw Wu Lu, her eyes lit up, and she immediately greeted her with a smile: "Senior Brother Wu, you are here, how are you doing to find the pulse and recognize the acupoints?"

"What kind of senior brother is he?" Gao Tianbao saw Zhou Luowei smiling at Wu Lu, but he was extremely cold to himself, and he was immediately unhappy.

"I started earlier than you, and you called me senior brother, and I didn't wronged you. "Wu Lujue's time is time to establish authority in this small group, after all, he has also been in the army for a long time, and understands that if there is authority, there is power, and if there is power, people will not always be asked for trouble.

Gao Tianbao mixed up with some half-grown children on the streets of Dengzhou, he was brave and ruthless, and he liked to dance with knives and guns, otherwise he would not have exchanged clothes with Wu Lu for birds.

Seeing Gao Tianbao's sneer, Wu Lu pressed forward step by step: "What?

"You win first, I'll talk about it!"

Gao Tianbao took the lead and went straight to Wu Lumian with a punch.

Qi Shaobao left the "Fist Classics and Jie Chapter" for the Qi Family's Army, and the thirty-two potential long boxing songs, which all soldiers of the Qi Family Army had to memorize and practice. Although Wu Lu said that he was young and weak, and he was not as good as the men in the army when he learned boxing techniques, it was more than enough to deal with a half-sized boy like Gao Tianbao who was mixed on the street.

Seeing Gao Tianbao's fist rushing over, Wu Lu leaned over slightly, and his fist crossed the tip of his nose. Wu Lu took advantage of the failure of his attack, squatted down, and hit the third point under Gao Tianbao's ribs with his elbow force.

With just one move, Gao Tianbao's tears of pain rose, and he covered his ribs with his right hand, and half-knelt down and gasped for cool air.

Qi Jiajun's boxing method is the army boxing method, which is about killing with one move, and never pursuing bells and whistles.

Wu Lu deceived Gao Tianbao into the back, kicked him to the ground, locked his hands from behind, and pressed his right knee against Gao Tianbao's coccygeal bone, making him unable to move.

"Now you can call it big brother!"

Wu Lu ignored Gao Tianbao's repeated begging for mercy and insisted on making him succumb.

Gao Tianbao finally reluctantly reluctantly said: "Brother Wu, spare the little brother." ”

Zhou Luowei jumped on the sidelines and shouted excitedly: "Brother Wu is so powerful!"

Just as Wu Lu let go of Gao Tianbao and helped him up, a contemptuous voice came from behind several people.

"A little soldier is a little soldier, but he fights with brute force like a mortal with a spiritual root, and it's really my shame to be in the same door with you. ”

I saw Wan Yan Long'er, Chai Tian Sen and several other spiritual root owners under Hu Xiaoling coming over, and seeing the fight between Wu Lu and Gao Tianbao, Wan Yan Long'er couldn't help but sneer again.

Wu Lu knew that he couldn't beat Wan Yan Long'er, so he didn't fight-for-tat, but arched his hand and said: "Senior Sister Wan Yan laughed, I and Senior Brother Gao haven't practiced immortal arts." If we had cultivated a few years earlier like Senior Sister Wanyan, we would naturally be fighting now, instead of fighting with brute force like this. ”

After Yan Long'er listened to the meaning of Wu Lu's words, she felt that she had just cultivated for a few more years than them, and it seemed that this Ming army pawn was still not convinced.

"With my Heavenly Spirit Root's qualifications, even if I cultivate a few years later than you, I can easily defeat you. You should be more worried about whether you will be able to cope with the challenge of being a registered disciple in a year. Wan Yan Long'er didn't trouble Wu Lu again, but sneered and took the other spirit root owners to the Fox Immortal Cave.

"Wu Lu... No... Brother Wu, look at this little lady surnamed Wanyan is eyeing you!Are you sure to deal with it?" Seeing that Yan Long'er had walked away, Gao Tianbao asked while pressing the sore spot.

In the end, Gao Tianbao was born as a street gangster, and if he does not accept the virtuous and respectable, he will serve the one with high skills. After losing to Wu Lu, he didn't have the intention of revenge, but began to treat Wu Lu as a big brother.

"Don't be afraid of her, I'm not afraid of fighting with the Japanese Kou, and I'm afraid of this little girl?"

"Brother Wu has also fought against the Japanese Invaders?" Gao Tianbao said in surprise.

"Then there will be a fake? I am from the Qi family's army, that is the army brought out by Qi Jiguang and Qi Shaobao, and the move I just beat you is Qi Shaobao's "Thirty-two Potentials of the Fist Classic"..."

Gao Tianbao was ecstatic, when he was young, he admired Qi Shaobao in his hometown the most, and he had admired the Qi family's military boxing method for a long time. This time, he didn't pester Zhou Luowei anymore, and began to pester Wu Lu, just begging Wu Lu to teach him the Qi family's military boxing techniques.

Zhou Luowei couldn't intervene on the side, so she could only stomp her feet unhappily.

At this moment, Pei Lingyun's voice came from the direction of the Fox Immortal Cave, and asked all the relatives and disciples to go to the Fox Immortal Cave to receive Pei Lingyun's exercise guidance.

......

In the Fox Immortal Cave, Pei Lingyun sat in the chief position, and eleven disciples sat on three rows of futons.

It seems that Pei Lingyun values Yan Long'er very much and lets her sit closest. Pei Lingyun first told everyone how to find the pulse and recognize the acupoints, how to complete the inner vision with the mantra, and how much Zhou Tian is necessary for cultivation.

First, let Wu Lu and other disciples who have not yet attained the sense of qi do a round of Xiao Zhoutian with their minds, and then complete the inner vision with the mantra of the first layer of the qi cultivation period. After confirming that there was no problem with cultivation, she let the disciples meditate and cultivate on their own, while she began to teach Yan Long'er a new metallic technique.

After meditating like this for two hours, all the disciples completed the nine rounds of the small week and the three rounds of the big week. At this moment, only a timid voice was heard.

"Pei Shangxian, the slave seems to feel the sense of qi. Li Shanxuan asked in a low voice in Korean.

Pei Lingjun was slightly stunned, but she quickly understood. She beckoned, called Li Shanxuan, stretched out her hand and pressed on Li Shanxuan's pulse, asking her to recite the mantra again to run the exercises of the first layer of the Qi cultivation period, and close her eyes to investigate her cultivation.

It didn't take long for Pei Lingyun to smile and say: "Li Shanxuan has indeed learned the sense of qi, and he can already induce qi like a body, as long as he completes the qi into the dantian, it will be the first layer of the qi training period." ”

Everyone was in an uproar when they heard this, especially Wu Lu, who had not yet felt angry, and they all looked at each other.

After cultivating for two hours, you gained a sense of qi?

What kind of anti-heaven qualification is this?

"Don't be discouraged, Li Shanxuan is young in the end, the younger she is, the stronger her ability to sense the aura of heaven and earth. It wasn't unusual for her to gain qi so quickly. Diligence can make up for clumsiness, and those who have not yet gained a sense of qi can only step up their cultivation. ”

After Pei Lingyun finished explaining, he said to Li Shanxuan in Korean: "You hurry up and cultivate the first level of Qi cultivation period, among these people, you are a North Korean, and it is inconvenient to speak." When you complete the first level of Qi cultivation and have divine sense, I can instill the official dialect of the Ming Dynasty into your sea of knowledge. That way you won't have a communication barrier. ”

Li Shanxuan happily agreed, and hurriedly retreated to continue cultivating.

And Wan Yan Long'er looked at Li Shanxuan with a slightly hostile gaze.

......

After cultivating for several days, Wu Lu finally knew why Hu Daxian had accepted more than a hundred spiritual root owners, but only about twenty had persevered.

Because cultivation is so boring, every day in addition to eating and sleeping is meditation, and it can even be said that it is even more boring than the prisoners in prison. In the end, only people with great perseverance can persevere.

Whenever Wu Lu wanted to give up, he thought of the feeling when Pei Lingyun flew in the air with his imperial weapon and looked at the people under his feet. That feeling of being detached from the mundane world made Wu Lu very intoxicated.

He must get that feeling again.

...

There are no years of cultivation.

On the twelfth day of starting to cultivate, Zhou Luowei gained a sense of qi.

On the twenty-first day of his cultivation, Gao Tianbao gained a sense of qi.

And Wu Lu has been cultivating diligently for a month and a half, and he still hasn't gained a sense of qi.

This made Wu Lu more and more irritable, after all, of the eleven disciples who were personally transmitted, he was the only one who had not yet gained the sense of qi and was still meditating in vain.

In the following days, Wu Lu simply did not meditate and practice with them, but found a corner in the mountains and forests to meditate alone.

Under the withered pine, inside the tree hole.

After Wu Lu took some dried meat from Orion, he stayed in the hollow of the tree and meditated.

When you're hungry, take a bite of jerky and snow water.

The rest of the time is spent meditating and cultivating.

And so it goes, day after day...

Snow fell again on Changbai Mountain, until it covered the tree hole.
