Chapter 5: The Path of Cultivation!!
After knowing that the two-headed snake was exhausted, Hu Xuanyun began to observe and analyze, and the angle of the two snake heads of the two-headed snake in the pit to see if he could completely kill it with his mouth or claws.
After observing and analyzing for a while, Hu Xuanyun made a decision to kill the large snake head first, because although the two snake heads were separated, compared with the small snake head, the large snake head was more tightly wound by vines, and there was not much room to move, so it was best to lower the mouth or lower the claws.
After Hu Xuanyun found the position of seven inches below the large snake's head, he stretched out a fox paw and slammed it into the gap...
After killing the two-headed snake, Hu Xuanyun wasted half a day's effort, biting off all the two snake heads, and then went back to his small nest with the remaining thick snake body.
As for why Hu Xuanyun, the two-headed snake this time, planned to take it back and eat it, but the little two-headed snake he encountered last time was thrown away?
That's because the previous little two-headed snake was too small, not to mention two taels of meat, and it had to be cleaned up, which was too troublesome.
But this time it's different, the coiled body of the large two-headed snake is much bigger than Hu Xuanyun, enough for their family to eat for a few days, as for the question of whether it is a poisonous snake, now even the head has been bitten off, and I think the venom gland should also be in the position of the head.
And even if the venom glands of this two-headed snake do not grow on the head but on other parts of the body, after Hu Xuanyun brings it back to the nest, the female fox should be able to distinguish it.
After all, the female fox is different from Hu Xuanyun, and the natural instinct of the beast can also make it distinguish whether the snake body of the two-headed snake is edible, or which part of the body has toxins or something.
............
In the days that followed, Hu Xuanyun exercised every day and then went out to find an opponent, if he met too strong, he could only get up, and when he met almost that, he would go out and start a life-and-death battle with the other party.
Of course, this time it's really a battle of life and death, the previous two-headed snake is not counted, after all, that thing has two heads, which is illegal in itself, and I don't know if it's poisonous?
So Hu Xuanyun didn't dare to use his body to test whether the other party was a poisonous snake, although it was only the body of a fox, who would want to die if he could live.
In this way, Hu Xuanyun exercised every day and then went out to find opponents, and soon more than half a year passed.
And their siblings have grown up to the point where they can hunt alone, of course, only to the extent that they can hunt, not that they can go out and catch their own prey.
This also requires them to learn from the female fox in order to slowly learn to grow.
As for Hu Xuanyun's side, the female fox doesn't care at all, after all, although Hu Xuanyun doesn't bring back food every day, the injuries and blood marks on her body all tell her that her fox cub has long been adapted to the environment of the jungle and has long learned to hunt food by herself.
That is, Hu Xuanyun is still living with them now, otherwise it would be the same as the kind of fox that can leave home as an adult.
So the female fox doesn't have to take Hu Xuanyun to learn to hunt or anything, she has already done a good job herself.
But as the days went by, Hu Xuanyun's other siblings have grown up, but she herself has fallen into a limit, the limit of the current fox body.
Because Hu Xuanyun has not yet reached the age of adulthood after all, and there is not much room for growth in physical fitness through exercise.
I have no choice but to get stuck at the current level of stage, of course, it doesn't mean that it will always be like this, as long as Hu Xuanyun grows slowly over time, there will still be a period of strength growth, but that is too slow for Hu Xuanyun.
But the body of the fox she crossed was just an ordinary fox, and there was nothing strange about it, even if Hu Xuanyun tried to find a way, it was useless, after all, the limitations of the body were there, and there was no magical bloodline that could make her continue to grow, so she had some other ideas.
What do you think?
It's like in some novels she saw in her previous life, the protagonist will have adventures and the like, and of course she doesn't expect to have any adventures in such a forest.
And just thinking that since this forest looks so primitive, and it is still a different world, will there be any spiritual fruits and treasures with magical abilities.
It's a pity that with her current strength, let alone looking for any spiritual fruit treasures, even going out of the area around the nest is very likely to encounter all kinds of dangers that can kill her.
Especially from the hunting of large carnivores, don't think that Hu Xuanyun's strength has become so strong since this period of life and death battles, at best, it is just the level of rookies, and the so-called life and death battle is just a rookie pecking each other, as for the previous one, it was a scum level that did not even have 5 combat effectiveness.
With such strength, I still want to find some spiritual fruits and treasures in this forest full of dangers, what is it if I am not looking for death, plus near the spiritual objects born in heaven and earth, there must be strange beasts guarding them, Hu Xuanyun to find it is not equivalent to a meat bun beating a dog, there is no return, and the meat bun is still filled with fox meat...
So this method can only be dispelled, but soon Hu Xuanyun has another idea, although this other idea is still from the novels he read in his previous life, but the possibility is very great.
In the novels I read in my previous life, aren't there any demons and monsters, especially some goblins can be cultivated by looking at the moon and contemplating and swallowing the essence of Taiyin (moon).
This can be used for experiments, after all, even ordinary foxes can cultivate to become goblins, let alone foxes like themselves who have human souls and thinking memories, so they should be able to cultivate.
But the problem is, it's easy to say, but it's hard to do, let alone doing it, Hu Xuanyun doesn't even have a clue here.
Yes, in the novels of the previous life, it was indeed written that some monsters would swallow essence at the moon or something, but the question is how did this happen?
If that's the case, then the distance is a little far, anyway, Hu Xuanyun thinks that he doesn't have the ability to get the moon, and even takes a bite on it, but even if he can really get it to the next mouth, he will first break the fox teeth...
So just like what those monks and Taoists said in the previous life, looking at the mountain is not a mountain, and looking at the water is not water...
That is, the so-called visualization is not what the visual eye sees, and the swallowing is not the swallowing of the moon essence as understood?
The more I think about it, the more confused I become, so let's experiment one by one.
After thinking of this, Hu Xuanyun gave up all kinds of conjectures, and experimented with the simplest and most understandable method.
Lying on my stomach at the entrance of the cave, I couldn't see the moon anymore...
He turned over and lay directly at the entrance of the cave, just in front of the bright moon hanging in the bright starry sky.
???
This... Seven moons, visualize which one?
Well, before we started experimenting, we encountered difficulties.
But after calming down and looking up at the seven moons hanging in the starry sky, Hu Xuanyun made a different discovery.
Before, she was busy exercising every day, or she was busy going out to find enemies to fight to the death, sometimes she might be hungry and could only eat some fruits to fill her stomach, and sometimes she could bring back a lot of prey, but her injuries also needed to recuperate for dozens of days, in short, there was no moment to calm down and observe the moon in the night sky.
Now, after some quiet observation, I found that the seven moons were somewhat similar to the heavenly palace that loomed in the clouds during the day.
In addition to the largest, roundest and brightest round, the other six rounds of the moon gave Hu Xuanyun a vagueness, as if the remaining six rounds of the moon were extremely far away from him, which was very hazy.
Only the largest, roundest, and brightest round has a sense of realism.
This discovery made Hu Xuanyun have another kind of guess in his heart that he didn't know whether it was right or not, of course, this guess is also very vague now, after all, Hu Xuanyun has no understanding of this world until now, and can only wait until he has some understanding in the future to verify whether the idea and guess in his heart is correct.
It doesn't make sense to say that now, so let's visualize the largest, roundest, and brightest moon.
The so-called visualization is to see things with the naked eye, and then visualize the things you see in the spiritual world or the inner world.
According to the method of visualization that we have known in previous lives, the clearer the things that are visualized in the mind, the higher the realm.
It's just that human thoughts and memories have given Hu Xuanyun a lot of trouble at this time, because the memories of her previous life and the way of thinking of human beings make her unable to calm down at all, and visualize the image of the moon in her inner spiritual world.
Even a rough outline is not enough, because often when you first visualize a general outline, it will be disrupted by other complicated thoughts and memories that arise...
Hu Xuanyun didn't give up, but just quietly lay on her back at the entrance of the cave and admired, yes, she was appreciating instead of the previous visualization, of course, it was not that she gave up, but she understood that if she wanted to achieve visualization, she had to make her heart pure.
So this time, she used an attitude of appreciation to visualize the seven moons in the night sky, and even the previous round of the brightest moon was no longer limited to the largest, roundest, and brightest moon before.
And my heart slowly calmed down, and somehow I remembered the understanding of purity in a novel I saw in my previous life;
Tranquility is carefree, tranquility is fearlessness;
To be quiet is not to be arrogant or impatient, and to be quiet is not to be sad or happy;
To be quiet is not to be in a hurry, and to be quiet is not to be frightened or angry;
Tranquility is to go with the flow, and tranquility is to be at peace with what happens;
Tranquility is that things change and I do not change, and tranquility is that the body and mind do not move.
PS I like this paragraph from a novel, so I'll borrow it!
