Chapter 6: Treasure Hunting in the Dragon Swallowing Pool

"Old ghost, then why can't you and I can? is it because of the aura?"

"No, but because the cultivation of this exercise has strict requirements, and it must be a child. Originally, I got this book of internal strength, and I was ecstatic, but there was a row of words on the wall that made me suddenly lose confidence, this aura recipe should not only be practiced from childhood, but also not close to women during the qi refining period and the foundation building period, otherwise the essence will be discharged, the skill will be lost, and I will not be able to practice in the future, which is why I can't practice. ”

"Oh, I see. ”

"This exercise is divided into three realms, each realm is divided into four layers, a total of twelve layers, and after the twelve layers, this secret book says that you can also cultivate, and there is no limit. What is the concept of limitlessness, that is, your internal and external forces will grow infinitely. In other words, if you can't practice the third realm for the rest of your life after the age of thirty, then your lifespan is no different from that of ordinary people, and if you practice it, you may break through the hundred-year lifespan and reach more than two hundred years. ”

"It doesn't seem to be that difficult, I don't think I'll need that many years. ”

"Little ghost, don't think it's so simple, this is an ancient secret book left by the predecessors, if you don't have strong perseverance and perseverance, you can't practice, there are many other factors, someone guides and you practice blindly, that's two different things, and the choice of location, the feng shui treasure land with abundant spiritual energy will naturally get twice the result with half the effort, if you put the place in the vegetable cellar where the yin qi is heavy, how can you practice well? Also, little calf, do you think you have talent when you practice so fast? Wrong, there are a bunch of insects in the secret room of the cave in the Void Mountain, there are as many as 100 of them, and there is a stone tablet next to the insects, which reads: Elixir Silkworm. ”

"Elixir silkworms, is that me eating those chubby little guys?"

"Exactly, the small stone tablet says that the elixir silkworm is fed with all kinds of mature and precious herbs in the world, and it took a full hundred years to cultivate these eighty-one, and eating them can prolong life, enhance strength, and increase the speed of cultivation. I counted only sixty-three, and it seems that the master himself ate eighteen, and when I picked it there were only sixty-three, and I ate ten before and after I got it. But I didn't expect this elixir silkworm to be so powerful, but it still couldn't save me. The reason why you are now as light as a swallow and your physical strength is superior is all because of these elixir silkworms, plus the excellent exercises, so you have improved rapidly, this should be a typical ancient spectrum-level exercise. ”

"These days, my skin has always seeped some mud, so it's good to bury it!"

"That's the credit of this elixir silkworm, their natural medicinal effect gradually expels the impurities from your body, don't you find that your skin is smoother and more delicate?"

Baili Wu raised his hand and looked at it: "Well, indeed, and the skin seems to be more elastic and firmer." As he spoke, he swung two fists, "I feel a lot stronger than before." ”

"You don't want how many of these God-given babies you've eaten these days. ”

Baili Wu tilted his head and said, "I ate six on the first day, and then three per day, for a total of eleven days, that is, thirty-six." ”

"Tomorrow, you eat six more and let your power soar upwards, so that when you swallow the Dragon Pool, you will have a stronger body to withstand the pressure underwater. It's really cheap for you, if you usually eat this spirit worm, you can prolong your life, even if you are seriously injured, you can come back to life. ”

"Phew!" Baili Wu pursed his lips, "It's cheap for me, and you came back to life, why didn't you come back to life when you were dying?"

The old Taoist priest smiled bitterly, and replied after a moment of silence: "Little ghost, you don't know, this spirit insect can only enhance its strength and resistance, but it can't pull out the poison, especially the poison." I used eight to extend my lifespan for eight months, and it has been a full two hundred and forty days since the day I was poisoned, and no one can survive the poison for two hundred and fifty days, and I have not been saved before this, even if Da Luo Jinxian is alive, he can't save me. ”

When the old Taoist priest said this, he looked at the cold pool water with a serious face.

"It's not cheap for me at all, you, this is to save yourself, you should say that you are lucky to meet me. ”

"Don't be proud, this Dragon Swallowing Pond has been famous for a long time, and it is difficult for adult monks to survive, not to mention that you are a doll, I can only gamble, win, you and I are both winners in life, if you cultivate for a few more decades, you will be called a peerless master, and I will pick up a life." If you lose, I'll die, but you can continue to cultivate, so whatever, you win. Isn't it cheap for you or what?"

"What you said makes sense, old ghost, but, if it weren't for yourself, how could you give me such a valuable spirit worm to eat, the ghost only believes it, okay, don't worry about you, since you have begged me, it is the right person, I will help you, it is not cheaper for me, and you have to thank me when I save you." What the hell are you letting me go down?"

"I'll tell you before I let you go down, you should improve your skills first. ”

In addition to the guided tuna technique, on this day Baili Wu tried the depth of the dive, and later found that he could control his body in the whirlpool, and the strength could resist, the old Taoist priest gave Baili Wu an irregular stone, the stone would glow, and it would not be clear during the day, and it would work at night or in the dark Dragon Swallowing Pool.

Baili Wu showed his head from the pool and said with a smile: "Give me this stone, it will be of great use at night." ”

"Here you go!"

"Old ghost, the deeper this Dragon Swallowing Pond is, the more strange the rows of stones below are, there are more bulges, and some places are narrower, which is enough for a fat man to pass through. The underwater whirlpool is not so strong for some reason than the suction above, which is better, but the pressure is getting bigger and bigger, and when I get to the depths, my chest is tight. ”

Early in the morning of the twelfth day, when the old Taoist priest wanted to let Xiaolong go into the water, he took out three elixir silkworms and looked at them, a little reluctant, but he still threw them to Baili Mist ruthlessly.

After swallowing it, Baili Mist practiced for another two hours, refining all the insects, removing some impurities from the body, and even emitting a slight sour smell. It's here

At noon, the old Taoist priest took out three elixir silkworms and threw them to Baili Mist, who seemed to be addicted to eating this thing, and it was quite fragrant.

Then the whole body was hot and dry, today this amount is a bit large, just like the first time, the aura trick is running wildly, the breath is swimming in the limbs and hundreds of remains, and the hundred miles of fog even feels that there is a stream of air in the dantian that is spinning wildly, like the black mouth of the swallowing dragon pool. Turn three times inside, absorb the aura of heaven and earth, turn three times outside, eliminate waste gas impurities, and impurities flow out along the tendons and veins, deep in the surface of the skin, at this moment, Baili Wu seems to be able to keenly feel the direction and change of the aura in the body, maybe it is also a habitual relationship, can really feel that this feeling is very good, like using the aura of the field to frantically wash their internal organs. This is the common effect of running the spiritual qi technique when refining the elixir worm.

The rope is tied around the waist of the hundred miles of mist, and the one on the shore is tied to a thick old tree. The old Taoist priest swallowed another elixir silkworm, and then he had some strength, and he cheered up and said, "Child, the old man's life depends on you." I believe in you, you are a special child, you will definitely help me win my life back, this is the biggest bet of my life, this dragon swallowing pond is twenty zhang below what I am looking for, here are some six-legged turtles the size of human heads, only its blood can save my life. They never go ashore because they belong to the freshwater deep-water spirit animals. I don't know exactly how many there are, but I only need one. ”

Baili Wu doesn't know what to say, no matter what, it can be regarded as a benefit, before he could dive into a zhang deep water, but now he can enter twenty zhang, which is already a great creation. This old ghost said that it was twenty zhang down, wouldn't that exceed the previous limit?

"Old ghost, what should I do if I exceed my limit under twenty feet, and the six-legged turtle runs away?"

"That was yesterday, and today you'll be even better. Twenty zhang of water pressure can't even withstand the weapon, if you can withstand it, it means that the aura trick and the elixir silkworm are very strong. However, if you don't have a strong will and the talent to practice this spiritual qi technique, you can't do it, everything is providential. Who can do it? I'm afraid the old man can't do it either. There are a lot of strange stones in it, and there are whirlpools to suck, this rope is to prevent you from losing your strength, if there is danger, pull the rope up, the old man is no longer able to pull you. Remember, the six-legged turtle likes to swallow whirlpool water in crevices below twenty feet, and lives on the microorganisms in the whirlpool, all green, which you will see when exposed to fluorescent stones. They have lived for tens of thousands of years, because they survive in the cracks, so they will never grow large, and they will always get stuck there, and their tortoise shells are harder, because they survive in deep water, and they are extremely resistant to pressure. You wear this punch!"

The old Taoist priest said that he took out a fist spur out of nowhere, which could be put on his five fingers, and a belt that could be buckled on his bracer, and there was a small sword stretched out in the front. Baili Wu is still a boy, this fist spur is a bit big, but fortunately, the belt can control the length and it is fixed on the wrist.

"Also, the six-legged turtle won't resist, and you don't have to worry about them running away, they've been there for an unknown amount of time, and they're too lazy to move, you just have to grab it normally. However, the years are too old, and nine times out of ten of their shells have grown on stones, you can use this fist to pry the cracks. Remember, return as soon as you get it. ”

"Old ghost, how do you know that there are such strange beasts under this Dragon Swallowing Pond?"

"I found it in an ancient book, which records that there is a deep pool in this area, under the waterfall, there is a group of spirit beasts that have lived for tens of thousands of years under twenty zhang, called the six-legged turtle, the six-legged turtle has six legs, the whole body is green, the carapace is transparent and hard, and it specializes in pulling out all kinds of strange poisons in the world. ”

After listening to Baili Wu, he had a bottom in his heart, he knew what he was, what he looked like, and what his habits were, so it was completely clear that this old Taoist priest had been poisoned and should have a lifespan of less than ten days, if he was not saved in time, he would return to the West.

"Okay, then I'll try it first, after all, it's the first dive under twenty zhang. ”

"No, you have to dive, you have to succeed, you can't fail, you won't watch me, the benefactor who passed on your divine skills, pass away like this, right?"

"Cut, return the benefactor, now I want to be your benefactor, if I save your kindness, we will write each other off. Baili Wu said unceremoniously.

"Go ahead, you stinky little devil, I believe in your talent. ”

"Okay, I won't let you down. Baili Wu said disappreciatively.

Baili Wu took a deep breath, and in addition to his lungs, he even stored some in his stomach, and turned his little belly into a small drum. A wave, a pair of small feet finally submerged in the water, like a loach, straight to the bottom of the pool.

Some places under the pond are wide and some places are narrow, but the two days have been familiar with the environment below, the fog turned left and right, dodging the raised stones, very smooth. In the blink of an eye, it was below fifteen zhang, and the visibility was extremely low, and if it weren't for fluorescent stone, it would be basically impossible to see anything.

When he got here, the whirlpool water was very fast, and the suction began to increase, but he was not an ordinary child now, his physical fitness was superhuman, and a kind of aura that surged through the dantian throughout his body steadily generated the energy that competed with the suction, and he controlled his body shape, grasped the raised rock next to him, and moved with the trend to save physical energy.

There is a narrow mouth with strong suction under the fifteenth zhang, Baili fog borrows the momentum to run in, I practiced many times yesterday, after reaching twenty-one zhang, the pressure suddenly increases sharply, the throat and eyes are sweet, and the blood is surging, this is the feeling that I did not have yesterday, it is too deep, reaching the limit of the human body, and the ear drum is suddenly pressed by the water pressure as if it is stuffy, I can no longer hear any sound outside, my mind is silent, try a little more, Baili Wu slowly tried to go down a little bit, pulled the rope with one hand, no, the chest is stuffy, the nasal cavity and the wings of the nose are pressed to the inner wall of the nose, don't worry about choking, but also very stuffy。

"Not good!" Baili Wu was shocked in his heart, kicked the steep rock wall on the side, rebounded with strength, and jumped upward, returning to the critical point he was bearing yesterday, the pressure dropped sharply, and he went upstream frantically, and then the rope was pulled a little faster.

"Whoa, whoa, whoaβ€”whoaβ€”"

Baili Wu went up to the water, took a few breaths, the feeling of suffocation just now suddenly disappeared, Baili Wu touched his nose, and saw a trace of bright red blood on his hand dissipating along the flowing water.

"Old ghost, my nose bleeds!"

"Your bleeding is also temporary, it's okay!" Sure enough, as soon as the old Taoist priest finished speaking, the place where the capillaries of the Baili Mist were ruptured healed on its own, and the speed was extremely fast.

"No, I haven't seen the hexagonal turtle in Twenty-one Zhang, if it goes deeper, my body is afraid that I can't stand it. ”

The old Taoist priest's face showed a resolute look and said, "Come, boy, you can eat all the three elixir silkworms! Hurry up and refine, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive today." ”

Baili Wu ate three meat insects again, and directly ate nine on this day, if it was an ordinary person, it would have turned over the river and the sea, but this insect is not an ordinary insect, but a spirit insect, which was absorbed by a stream of air in the dantian, and turned into infinite energy to spread to the limbs and hundreds of remains, this time perhaps because the amount of food was large enough, the bones actually made a "rattling" sound, and the skin was itchy for a while, so that the qi that poured into their bodies between heaven and earth also doubled, like a floodgate.

"No, I'm so hot, my skin is about to burst, old ghost, I want to go down and cool off!" This time, in less than half an hour, the insects were absorbed and refined, but the heat was unbearable.

Baili Wu didn't wait for your old Taoist priest to answer, a fierce man pierced in, and followed the rope like a sharp arrow straight to the bottom of the water, and the speed of turning was a little faster than before, Baili Wu seemed to have inexhaustible power, and as the temperature of the water dropped, the heat on the body gradually decreased.

This time directly down to twenty-two zhang, just from twenty zhang a corner strange in, then see another scene, although the water here is still surging constantly, but there are various colors of stones, some of the stones are still glowing with a faint light, strange fish are numerous, swim around, because the arrival of fluorescent stone is too strong, scared them to flee as if surprised, the skin of these fish looks more hard, some are more like the color of rocks.

To twenty-three or so, I can no longer hear any sound, this is the quiet water world, swimming sideways for more than a zhang, there is a mouth, after getting in, this mouth is reacting with the water flow, and the suction is gone, but there can be no six-legged turtle here, because the turtle relies on the water flow, and quickly returns to find another direction to absorb water, although the suction of the water increases, the pressure becomes a little larger, this time the Baili fog actually withstands the water pressure, the elixir silkworm is really powerful.

Sure enough, there are more than a dozen little heads stretched out in the rocks on both sides of the rocks in the direction of the water flow, green, slightly open and motionless, with half of their bodies exposed, but these six-legged turtles are different from ordinary turtles, with green hair on their bodies, but they are not green turtles, they have whiskers on their mouths, and some plankton are obviously sticky to the whiskers, which is their main source of nutrition.

Baili Wu didn't have time to think about it, he pulled it up, and he couldn't pull it out, he went directly to the fist and stabbed the prying, and this pry directly fell some residue, and the six-legged turtle was really honest, and he let Baili Wu pry.

However, even if the turtle son was pryed, he didn't move, as if he had grown into a stone, and then pryed, pry if he couldn't move, cut back and forth repeatedly, Baili Wu suddenly felt that the skin was red, it turned out that the internal organs could withstand the pressure, but the capillaries on the surface of the skin couldn't stand it, and began to bleed slightly, after all, he was only eight and a half years old.

As soon as the cheeks of Baili Mist moved, the stomach shrank and pressed the air in the stomach into the mouth, and from the mouth into the lungs, which was the last reserve. Baili Wu felt his head slightly dizzy, the movements in his hands sped up by three points, brushed and brushed wildly, and finally the turtle loosened, grabbed the neck of the six-legged turtle fiercely, grabbed the last strength on the rope, drilled through one turn after another, swam frantically, and used all the strength of his hands and feet, just when he was about to reach the surface of the water, when he saw the light outside, he choked three mouthfuls of water.

Baili Wu endured the discomfort of choking on the water, and his heart was ruthless, and he rushed straight to the water, "Wow!", but when he climbed ashore, Baili Wu was no longer good, lying on the shore panting, his blood vessels were cracked, his brain was spinning, and he could die as long as he was a few steps away.

"Did you succeed this time?"

Baili Wu didn't have the strength to raise his head, and slowly lifted the six-legged turtle from the side.

"I ...... I...... I'm so excited!" the old Taoist priest snatched the six-legged turtle and didn't care about the fog anymore.

Baili Wu doesn't know how to recover, now it's too uncomfortable, the chest is like being pierced by ten thousand steel knives, it hurts more than a whip, try to run the Reiki Technique, slowly adjust the breathing, since I learned the Reiki Trick, I found that this Reiki Trick can drive away all discomfort, and can make the brain slowly become awake, even if the Heaven and Earth Reiki does not meditate or do pre-guidance, it has a small effect.

However, as the aura of heaven and earth entered the limbs and bones, Baili Wu felt that the muscles and internal organs of the body had different degrees of cracks, oozing blood, and couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood "wow", and it turned out that the mouth was also seriously damaged after being subjected to huge pressure. Then a sense of comfort came to my mind, and my heart became less depressed.

The old Taoist priest directly bleeds the six-legged turtle, and this six-legged turtle is also very interesting, and it has been slaughtered by others before and after.

After only a few breaths, the old Taoist priest was nauseated, and he vomited a mouthful of blood "wow", but the blood was black. Baili Wu reluctantly sat up, and watched the old man's face recover a lot in an instant, and then turned green, and the green flickered for a while and then regained its color.

"Come here, kid!" the old Taoist priest meditated cross-legged, smiling, recovering from a serious illness and in a good mood.

Baili Wu dragged his tired body and hunched his waist to slowly approach the old Taoist priest who was two feet away from him, and muttered in his mouth: "I need ...... Rest. ”

The old Taoist's eyes flashed suddenly, as sharp as an eagle, Baili Wu suddenly felt a murderous aura coming towards him, and the murderous aura made Baili Wu feel suffocated, but this suffocation was just born, his chest was stuffy again, Baili Wu instinctively dodged, this palm directly hit his right chest, and the clavicle "clicked" sounded, broken, and the right chest was violently shaken, and the pain was incomparable.

"Poof!" Baili Fog fell directly into the Dragon Swallowing Pond.

With this punch, the old Taoist priest exerted enough strength, and he was able to punch such a heavy punch at the beginning of his serious illness, which surprised Baili Wu, and he didn't expect it at all.

Baili Wu endured severe pain before sinking into the water, and said angrily: "Old Wangba, you...... Good poison ......"

"Gollum, Gollum!"
