Chapter 45: Wood Show in the Forest
In order to stabilize the foundation building period of cultivation, you must have no distractions, these days in the pool of water, a lot calmer, but cold to a certain extent, the smile disappeared.
I flicked the two-foot-long green bamboo sword with one hand, and smiled bitterly alone, determined to forget the front edge tonight, build the foundation, and start everything from scratch. Reminiscing about all kinds of things, erasing all kinds of things, suddenly remembering that ghosts and ugliness and tears had been chanted a few limericks to express their feelings when they sighed, I couldn't help but feel emotional, and chanted alone:
Flick the sword without a blade,
It is in whose hands it dominates.
Xianxia is often accompanied by a long road sword,
The young phoenix feathers are born in the soft rain.
After chanting the poem, there was a "choking" sound, and the sword entered the long sheath. The sheath is emerald green, the sword body is emerald green, the sword handle is emerald green, like a bamboo leaf green snake, you can feel a trace of its tranquility, you can also feel a trace of its coldness, that chill resonates with my heart, one hand flips an ice flower opens, bounces out of the window, disappears into the sky, like my sorrow flew away.
That night, I slept very soundly, and I had a dream.
In my dream, Azhu and I were together, two wooden houses with three-foot beds, hand-woven fence walls, chickens, ducks, geese and dogs singing, and the wind in the rice fields across the wilderness.
She weaves, I farm, and the big fat boy circles around us, but I can't see the child's face clearly. I stood in the wheat field in front of the house harvesting wheat, my back ached and I looked up at the scorching sun in the distance, as far as the eye could see, I wiped my sweat and smiled very sweetly.
Suddenly, a group of people came on horseback from a distance, with knives, guns and clubs in their hands, like a group of fairy bandits, and they caught my son, my wife Azhu, and I was holding a sickle, and I tried to do it but couldn't do anything, I was really like a farmer, without aura, I was nothing. Without skills, what can I rely on to protect my wife and children?
Those immortal bandits laughed, and the steel knife led by me was in a trance, and a strong light pierced my eyes.
In the blink of an eye, the sun had climbed into the window, shaking my eyes, I squeezed uncomfortably, my head hurt slightly, I thought I had let go of everything, but in fact it was not.
There are some things you can't do to face, other than that, you have no choice, tidy up the storage bag, spirit animal bag, check the supplies for a month of retreat, I pushed open the door, when the sun shone down, I suddenly felt warm. Purple Qi came from the east, and it was a good time to practice.
When I came to the small cemetery behind the bamboo forest, I saw a figure from afar. Take a closer look: "Master?"
Kong Zhi turned around and said, "The apprentice is here." The cave where you retreat is under this cliff, you can use the levitation technique to go down, the cave is very hidden, even I can't see that there is a cave after the array is arranged, it is very safe. ”
Kong Zhi seemed to have a hint of sadness when he said this, and at this moment, in front of him, in addition to the tomb of Kaiyuanzi, the tomb of Ye Lingzi, and the tomb of Dingzhenzi, he was digging a pit next to him.
I asked in a bit of a panic, "Master, what are you ......?"
Master said, "I'm digging my own grave, and I don't know how long I'll live, but I always feel like I don't have long to live. Design a beautiful grave for yourself first, so that you will not be dissatisfied with the digging of others when you die. ”
My originally calm heart was a little panicked again: "Master, no, Master is extremely smart, the first person in the world, is there anything that can't be passed?"
Master Kong Zhi said: "Mu Xiu is in the forest, the wind will destroy it, I am too famous now, but my cultivation has not yet reached its peak, there will be more and more people who want my life, I am not sure what will happen, it is just a matter of time." You have to concentrate on cultivation, consolidate your cultivation, no matter what movement there is outside during this period, don't come out, once you come out, it's just one more life, if you are discovered, use the spirit treasure skills in the double ring to escape. ”
After the master finished speaking, he took out another object, which was a black spherical object without any aura fluctuations.
"Nine catties, this is used to save lives, earth-shaking thunder, this thing can blow up monks below the infancy of the yuan, it can be destroyed if it is not killed, as long as it is thrown out at high speed and encounters an impact, it will explode, the power is about ten zhang range, it is very terrifying, it is equivalent to a thunderbolt blow. ”
At this time, I remembered Wei Fan when I was in Niujiazhuang, Wei Fan tested the master and said, "You stinky boy has no means!"
The great power of the Yuan Infant should have its own means of preserving his life, so at that time, Master Kong Zhi really relied on Wei Fan's shock.
The effect of this earth-shaking thunder is similar to that of the earthquake, but the power of the shock** is slightly inferior, which is what I learned later.
"Don't be sad, they are all monks in the foundation building period, they are already official immortal cultivators, and they will cultivate well in the future, the master leads the door to practice in individuals, and the master takes you here, I don't know how long I can live, but it may also be a long time, your master and I are not so easy to be killed." So, you don't have to worry, I heard that digging your own grave can increase longevity in this way, and Hades thinks I'm dead a long time ago, haha. ”
Master smiled, my heart was a lot lighter, Master is still so open-minded and generous, after saying goodbye to Master, I flew down the cliff, the morning breeze whistling in my ears, like the breath of the mountains whispering in my ears, very beautiful.
Sure enough, there is a huge cave ten zhang down from the back mountain, the cave is dug in the east, it is the morning, a purple yang righteousness shines into the cave, and it is warm when it enters the hole, which is very suitable for cultivation and meditation.
As soon as I entered the cave, I suddenly felt that the aura here was very abundant, much more abundant than that on the top of the mountain and beside the pool. Entering the cave, it is very open, it is a flat ground, but it is also strange, there is a tree growing in the middle of the hole, this tree is also strange, white branches, pink leaves, and the soil under the tree is soft. The next day, I learned that a trace of purple yang qi in the morning was just enough to shine in, so the tree was also leafy on one side of the cave entrance, and the other side was shriveled and abrupt.
The tree seemed to sing in the morning breeze, the rustling of the leaves filled the whole cave, this subtle whisper was like a bird flying on the lake, full of agility, like music in memory, I approached it, and it stopped the whispering and intimacy among the treetops as if shy.
There are trees, which proves that there will also be water here, and one month is already a long retreat for the foundation building period, so I have to be fully prepared.
I took out a set of four hexagonal array disks given by Master and arranged them at the door, only to see that the entrance of the cave automatically formed a wall, the same as the surrounding walls, but it did not block the wind and sunlight from entering, but only formed a phantom array. I tried to fly outside to look inside, and sure enough, the array plate formed an illusory rock and the surrounding mountain rocks fused into one, according to the guidance on the array plate, pinched a "condensation formula", ran the aura on top of the magic formula, and put one hand on the phantom stone, the illusory wall became physical, and then recited the "Reduction Formula", and the physical wall became illusory again, but whether it was illusory or physical, the inside could see the outside, and the outside could not see the inside.
"Yes, rain and rain can be temporary. I muttered to myself.
Back at the cave, the distance from the cave entrance was just enough for the mountain breeze outside to turn into a faint breeze, and the slow wind blended with the motionless trees.
I took out the green bamboo sword and inserted the small sword next to the tree, the sword is a magic weapon level, and the speed at which the sword body absorbs the aura of heaven and earth on its own is much more uniform than that of a magic weapon, exuding a burst of tranquil aura, making the already quiet cave more peaceful.
The key item is the spirit bowl, this thing can absorb the aura of heaven and earth, as long as there are around will gather over, this is the same as the monk meditating and practicing, this bowl has the pattern of the monk meditating, the bowl is like a monk, the spirit bowl just put on the ground, it will run on its own, it seems to be moving slightly, it seems that the aura here is abundant.
Quickly meditate, put the bowl in front of me, I ran the spiritual intent technique, the heaven and earth aura poured into the body, and the bowl in front of me was also absorbing the heaven and earth aura, but it did not conflict with me, the bowl gradually formed some liquid, it was the foundation building liquid, but this process lasted for four hours before a small bowl of foundation building liquid was accumulated.
According to what the master taught, I picked up the foundation building liquid and tried to introduce it into the body, just a trace of pure foundation building liquid made me suddenly feel that the pressure of the limbs and hundreds of bones doubled, this is formed between heaven and earth, and it is different from the body in the body, it seems to be more refined, this spirit bowl is really a good thing.
This bowl of foundation building liquid was drunk for four more hours before it was slowly absorbed, and the foundation building liquid gradually gathered around my spiritual root, but the foreign foundation building liquid floated on it like oil, making my dantian have a feeling of falling.
I tried my best to fuse the original foundation building liquid and the foreign foundation building liquid, and the fusion process was very slow, the "Spiritual Intention Formula" is a general cultivation technique, is there no second fast practice in this world? Maybe the demon and demon races have, but it is not suitable for human cultivation, human monks can only cultivate the spiritual essence, there is no way, the cultivation can not be too ambitious, let alone rushing, can only slowly temper their body, where the foundation building liquid passes, the bones of the body are tougher, the muscles are stronger, and the blood is clearer.
The first wave of absorbing the foundation building liquid made my foundation building liquid thicker, and it suddenly gave the foundation building liquid around the spiritual root a solid feeling, which felt good, as if infinite power was stored in the body, waiting to explode at any time.
After absorbing a bowl of foundation building liquid, you need to rest, and you have to rest for a few hours every day, so that the foundation building liquid can be refined by itself, and when the two foundation building liquids are completely fused, you can continue to absorb the aura of heaven and earth, and refine the new foundation building liquid formed in this bowl.
I hung the spirit beast bag on the branch, this tree is very peculiar, the essence of the plant and tree is of great help to raise spirit beasts, I hope that the silkworms in the spirit beast bag can absorb some.
During my rest, I put the Spirit Bowl under the Spirit Beast Bag, hoping that when I rested, the Spirit Bowl could be filled again.
Lying on the straw mat, I felt the flow of the foundation liquid in my body, as if all my worries were entangled together. It stands to reason that the foundation building period should be very bearable, and it may be due to the fatigue of refining and unconsciously falling asleep.
When I opened my eyes again, it was already dawn, and I don't know how long I had slept for a night. I came to the tree to look at the Spirit Bowl, but I was surprised to find that the foundation building liquid in the bowl was being absorbed by the spirit beast bag, and the foundation building liquid was always maintained in half a bowl.
Well, half a bowl is half a bowl, and continue to temper.
The foreign foundation building liquid comes from heaven and earth, pure and flawless, there are still impurities in the foundation building liquid in the body, the two meet and fuse, and then the impurities will be diluted out, and then the impurities will be partially discharged from the body through the spiritual trick, the whole process is very difficult, every drop of impurities is squeezed out, all the foundation building liquid must be used up, and then absorbed, then fused, diluted, and then eliminated, and so on.
On this day, I was sleeping sweetly, in a state of recovery, when suddenly the cave shook, about a cup of tea, and then there was another earthquake, could it be an earthquake? No, I haven't heard of an earthquake here, and it was hundreds of years ago, and it wasn't big.
I vaguely heard an unfamiliar shout, but there was no sound after a loud shout.
Did Master tell me not to go out no matter what happened, and it might just be an extra life to go out, and I believed in Master's Divine Technique, Master's Escape Technique, as well as Second Uncle's Divine Walking Boots, and Uncle Fu Baolong's Spatial Transfer. No matter who came, it seemed to be a fight, and the reason why Master let me be here may be to avoid it.
I shook my head and gave a wry smile helplessly and ate a grain of Gu Dan, Master may just be too worried, with his wisdom, even if he encounters a stronger out-of-body period powerhouse, he can maneuver.
With the passage of time, I found that my foundation building liquid was more refined, with fewer and fewer impurities, refreshed, and full of explosive power, and the silkworm in the spirit beast bag seemed to have moved, occasionally moving, but I didn't expect this silkworm to be able to absorb the foundation building liquid, it wouldn't be the foundation building period at birth, right?
I have also checked the relevant information, and the birth is the aura period, and it cannot be the foundation building period. I shook my head again, I had learned to think cranky after being here for so long.
There is no time in the mountains, and there is no twilight in cultivation. A month has passed in the blink of an eye, and I have stabilized in the early stage of foundation building, and I am considered a standard monk, almost the same as Yan Doudou at the beginning, and the same stage as the introductory demon hunter. Don't underestimate this foundation building period, cleaning up the aura period is like playing, and hierarchical suppression is an insurmountable gap. Otherwise, Master Kong Zhi would not be afraid of Zhan Baifei of the White Wolf Society, the predecessor of Wei Fan who met at the beginning, it was also the Yuan Infant Period, although it was the late stage or the peak, but after all, it was still in the same level, so Master Kong Zhi was more calm, but in the face of Zhan Baifei, he was cowardly, and you couldn't do it if you didn't coerce. The dog has a chance to defeat the wolf, but it can never beat the tiger, and this is the difference in rank. Unless the tiger is seriously injured and a dying tiger wants to bite it, it is also extremely risky.
Returning to Shangyunguan, I was shocked by the scene in front of me. Shangyunguan doesn't know when it was razed to the ground, everything no longer exists, and the only thing that can still be seen is the statue of Daozu Buddha in the main hall and a few scriptures scattered on the side.
"The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it!" I chuckled in my heart, could it be that the master was destroyed by someone? The "earthquake" a few days ago, could it be that there was really an earth-shattering battle here. I looked around carefully, and sure enough, the traces of the battle here were very obvious, but I didn't hit a few times, and according to the traces on the ground, the master led the two uncles to run. What about He Bao and Tong Hai?
Just as I was rummaging around, a person came up on the mountain road, and I saw from a distance that it was Tong Hai.
"Tong Hai!"
"Senior brother, you've figured it out!"
I hurriedly asked, "What happened?"
"A few days ago, I went down the mountain to buy supplies, and when I came back with a group of porters and pulling the cart, I saw Master and the two uncles running away frantically, and there were two people chasing behind them, who seemed to be more powerful than Master. ”
"It's more powerful than Master? Could it be Zhan Baifei? No, Azhu is already married. ”
Tong Hai said: "Ahem, there is a fart for marrying." The bad guys still want to kill you after taking advantage of you, aren't you also temperless. Listen to me first, I was far away at the time, and Uncle Fu Baolong happened to run in my direction, and those two people went after Master and Uncle Ghost and Ugly separately. I hid Uncle Fu Bao Long in the van, and he hid his aura with a closed word, and Uncle Fu said to go quickly, and then we returned to March City. ”
"Entered March City, we temporarily found a private house, Uncle Fu Baolong just entered the house and fell down on the side of the bed, only the breath out of the air did not enter the gas, he took out a pill and swallowed it, this only protected the heart, but unfortunately the spiritual root was destroyed, he has become a mortal, the heart has been broken, and he can't live for a few days. ”
"Huh?" I was shocked when I heard this, the false Dan period monk is ruined?
"Here's the thing, today's chaos in the fairy world is well known, the fairy emperor is mediocre, and the fairy kings from all over the world are flocking, and an immortal king came that day, you said that we are famous enough for Shangyunguan. asked the master for divination and asked about the future, and the two uncles were also at the scene to accompany him. Our master is a living immortal, of course, he gave the immortal king a hint, and the immortal king was also very satisfied after hearing it, but he suddenly turned his face and ordered the two immortal generals to kill the master and uncle. Then there is the escape scene that happened earlier. Uncle Fu Baolong swallowed his breath after speaking, he couldn't swallow this breath, and his cultivation to the False Pill Stage was finally ruined, I think he was mostly distressed and died. In other words, I am just as unwilling. ”
"Ahem, I didn't expect something like this to happen. What is the name of the fairy king, and where does he rule?"
"This ancestor is the king who rules the boundary east of the Daguang Mountain Range, the king of the East China Sea near the sea, and the Daguang Mountain Range is a blank area, so he also came directly to the cloud view without any scruples. ”
"Senior Brother Tong Hai, do you know what this East China Sea King is called, and what kind of person he is?"
Tong Hai smiled contemptuously and said: "It is rumored that this person does not learn and has no skills, and he likes to be vassal, fiddle with antique calligraphy and paintings, collect treasures and swords, and make up some rumors that he must read every day, and he is also a character who has lost all his ugliness in the world of cultivating immortals." Somehow, this person is extremely talented, and he has cultivated thousands of miles a day, although he is not very good at learning, but he has realized his own heavenly way, and he has already become a god in the god transformation period. ”
"Transform ...... Transformation Period?" I was stunned and stumbled.
"That's right, Zhan Baifei of the White Wolf Society of the Beast King Mountain also took refuge in his subordinates, became a member of the East China Sea King, and led all the members of the White Wolf Society to take refuge. The king of the East China Sea is called Ge Zhengfeng, with an ugly appearance, an obese body, shrimp eyes and mantis legs, and he is bald on weekdays, at first glance he looks like a lazy gangster, but in fact he is full of combat power, and he will slam the main hall of Shangyunguan into powder with a slap, if it is not for the Taoist ancestor to keep it, I am afraid it will be over. Those statues of Confucianism and Buddhism have not been spared, perhaps it is our master who has committed the relationship between the two methods, which has caused trouble. ”
I had a blank face, I had just built a solid foundation, and I actually heard such bad news, Uncle Fu Baolong is dead, and the life and death of Master Kong Zhi and Second Uncle Ghost Ugly are uncertain, if Ge Zhengfeng is the Transformation Period, then it is very likely that the pursuit of Master and Ghost Ugly is the out-of-body period, just like the Battle Baifei of the White Wolf Society, Master Kong Zhi still has a chance to survive, but it is impossible for Master Ghost and Ugly to be spared.
I secretly prayed, hoping that the immortal who chased the master would only be in the infancy stage or the early stage of the out-of-body stage, and even more prayed that the master would survive this catastrophe.
I guess that the master made up a lot of nonsense, and the blind cat killed the mouse and calculated who Ge Zhengfeng would cooperate with in the future, and saw through Ge Zhengfeng's heart, and several people present could become communicators, which made his diehard loyalists disappear. The struggle for political power is really cruel, no matter whether you are a celebrity or a genius in the world, you will kill if you say that you will be killed, it is ruthless and unreasonable.
Or the master said something that blocked both ends, so that the other party felt that he was teasing, although it was said that Ge Zhengfeng, the king of the East China Sea, was a fool on the surface, but could a fool really be an immortal king? That is absolutely impossible, it is absolutely impossible for a person who is a king to solve problems by force just by cultivation, and there have been masters who pretend to be crazy and stupid since ancient times.
Anyway, the master is in a catastrophe this time, and Ge Zhengfeng may not give up if he doesn't kill the master, the White Wolf Society's Zhan Baifei was originally a god-like existence in my eyes, and now I know that his wolf is just a dog.
And I, Azhu, Tong Hai, and He Bao are ants. I sighed helplessly and sat down in my chair. suddenly remembered He Bao: "Where is Senior Brother He Bao?"
"He Bao is stupid, the king of the East China Sea likes him very much, he didn't kill him, he has already left, he said that he was going to Yunyou, and I didn't stop him. ”
I was secretly shocked, my scalp exploded, this demon fairy world is too terrifying. The master and uncle are all extremely smart masters in this world, and almost no one can match their wisdom, but what can they do? In the end, they are not as good as a simple man. Master is right, the wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it. Forget it, I won't be a person who is easy to count in the future, I have to find another way, not to mention that I am not as smart as half of them, the master misjudged me, I am not suitable to be a person of easy number.
I made up my mind to also go to "Yunyou", and immediately said goodbye to Tong Hai: "Senior brother, I also went to Yunyou, and I will see you again in this life!"
After speaking, I turned around and left, I didn't look back, Shangyun Guan was ruined, and the master may also be hanging, I want to find another way to cultivate immortals, carrying a storage bag, which contains a large number of high-grade spirit stones and gold, I embarked on a new journey with confidence.
