Chapter 11: The Past of Green Bamboo
After Qianxue finished putting things away one by one, she sat cross-legged, her left hand supporting her chin, and her right hand unconsciously scratching something on the mat, her eyebrows frowning slightly, as if she was thinking about something difficult.
Half-ringing, she came back to her senses, and sighed slightly in her heart. She is now cultivating to the peak of the third layer of Qi cultivation, and she is only close to breaking through to the fourth layer realm, but when it comes to the means of fighting the enemy, she is very poor.
After thinking about it for a long time, she still decided to slow down her cultivation progress and learn a few spells first. So, I went to the Daode Museum to borrow a copy of "The First Solution of Water System Spells" and read it intently.
After only turning a few pages, Qianxue was completely fascinated.
The distribution of light points in matter is called "veins" by monks. Once a monk has detected the veins of a substance, he can easily allow the aura to penetrate the substance without damaging it in the slightest. The Five Elements Technique is to use the Five Elements Aura to imitate the veins of matter and unfold, just like the Fireball Technique, which uses the Fire Aura to imitate the fire in nature.
In nature, the veins of fire tend to be sparse, and the monks found that the tighter the veins were pressed when performing the fireball technique, the more powerful they were when released.
Substances representing the five elements: gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. For tens of thousands of years, the monks have long mastered its veins. Of course, the books often only record the veins of a fairly pure substance, because any specific substance is very likely to be disturbed by external substances, causing its veins to be slightly different.
This book chronicles two beginner water spells: Icepick and Water Wall. They all use the same principle, that is, after imitating the veins of water, the water aura is compressed in a certain direction, and the tighter the pressure, the lower the temperature of the water, the greater the power of the ice pick, and of course, the longer it takes.
Qianxue followed the methods in the book and quickly learned these two spells. It's just that it takes a lot of time to cast it, which is why she is not proficient.
For this reason, in addition to inducing qi into the body to refine the meridians, she also performed the icicle technique several times a day to become proficient as soon as possible.
One day, after a thousand snows had finished running for a week, he got up and walked out, and it was already fifteen on this day.
When he arrived at the second floor of the Teaching Hall, seeing that Old Man Lin was already waiting there, Qian Xue hurriedly stepped forward to give a salute and said, "I've seen Uncle Lin." After the ceremony, I looked around and found that there was just her and a young Taoist priest in the venue, the young man was not tall, but he was born with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and Qianxue couldn't help but look at it a few more times.
The young man thought that Qianxue treated him differently, and suddenly his eyebrows fluttered, he left the futon, stepped forward, and said, "In Xia Lin Chengyi, I don't know what to call you?"
Qianxue hurriedly returned the salute and said, "It's snowing Qianxue." ”
The boy warmly invited Qianxue to sit down on the futon next to him, and Qianxue sat down unceremoniously. When the old man Lin saw it, he secretly called "bad", and secretly glared at the young man a few times, but the young man seemed to be invisible, and only cared about talking to Qianxue.
"Qianxue? I am lonely and unheard, and I have never heard of Taoist friends. ”
"I just entered the sect not long ago, and it's normal that fellow Daoists haven't heard of it. ”
"I see, it's just that why do you want to sign up for this course......?
As soon as he said this, Old Man Lin coughed heavily a few times and solemnly announced, "Okay! Now we will officially start preaching." ”
Old man Lin pointed at Qianxue and said, "Tell me, why are you cultivating immortals?"
Hearing this, Qianxue was stunned. When she was a child, she wanted to cultivate immortals because she envied the god-like means of immortals, and she didn't have to starve after learning, but now, the reason why she cultivates immortals is to explore the mystery of the strings in her body.
Thinking of this, Qianxue said seriously: "I cultivate immortals in order to explore the mysteries of the world. ”
Lin Chengyi heard this, and said strangely: "Isn't cultivating immortals for immortality?" Old man Lin glared at him and said, "It's a shame that you have studied the Tao for many years, but it turns out that you can't understand it." Since ancient times, monks have cultivated immortals in order to explore the evolution of all things in the world, and the life span of human beings is limited, but the Tao is endless. Therefore, in order for a monk to preach, he must first attain immortality, so that he can keep his physical body intact and have a little more hope of preaching. ”
Old man Lin continued: "Therefore, in order to achieve the supreme realm of 'longevity and long-term vision', longevity is the foundation, and long-term vision is the goal. ”
After savoring the words of Old Man Lin, Qian Xuefang suddenly became enlightened, her previous vision was inevitably too narrow, and she paid attention to the changes of the strings all day long, worried about this and that, but she didn't know what she could really understand about everything in the world?
Xu was aware of Qianxue's subtle changes, and Old Man Lin couldn't help but praise secretly, "It's good to be understanding." He glanced at the young man again, and saw that he was deep in thought, so he ignored him, only looked at Qianxue, and said, "Little friend, if there are any difficulties in cultivating on weekdays, it doesn't hurt to say anything." ”
Qianxue thought for a moment and said, "Everything in the world has its vein, so does the monk's own aura also have its vein?
"Monks rely on the aura to detect the veins of things, so even if the aura itself has its veins, we cannot detect them, just as a person with great strength cannot lift himself. Old man Lin said.
At this time, Lin Chengyi woke up from his contemplation, heard this, and said, "No, no." Back then, if the Demon Saintess hadn't explored and understood the veins of the aura, how could she break through the five elements of the world, and almost no one could beat her. ”
Old man Lin was speechless for a while, and then argued strongly: "Few people can understand what happened back then, if it is said that the Demon Saintess has explored the veins of spiritual energy, why was she seriously injured by Qingzhu and left? With that, he glared at the boy. The boy did not dare to argue anymore, in fact, he did not know much about the mystery.
Qianxue was very interested when she heard them mention her senior sister's deeds, knowing that she had never heard her senior sister talk about her past. Who knows, the two only talked about it briefly for a few words and then stopped talking about it, which made her extremely depressed, and she hurriedly begged the old man to say a few more words. The old man kept silent, as if the matter was a major secret, and did not reveal his words at all.
Thinking of Li Feng's words, Qian Xue's heart moved, and she hurriedly took out a spirit stone and said, "Uncle Lin should talk about the things of the year, so that the younger generations can also gain some knowledge." ”
snatched the spirit stone from Qianxue's hand, Old Man Lin squinted his old eyes, weighed his fingers a few times, and then slowly put it into the storage bag, and said: "Since Xiaoyou is so sincere, let's talk about it, Xiaoyou must remember not to spread it." "Qianxue should be busy.
"What happened back then was very strange," Old Man Lin only said one sentence, and then fell into deep thought, his face was slightly bitter, and he didn't seem to be very willing to recall the past, but he only hesitated for a moment, and then continued:
"A hundred years ago, as soon as I built the foundation, I received an order from my master to order me to go to the spiritual veins of Luoyun Mountain in the starry night to delay the speed of the Demon Sect's attack as much as possible. I was only halfway through the journey, and I received another order to divert me to Swallow Mountain. It turned out that the spiritual veins of Luoyun Mountain had been captured, and the speed was so fast that everyone was dumbfounded. As everyone knows, the Luoyun Mountain Spirit Vein is located on the border of the Demon Sect and the True One Sect, and it has always been a defensive place, and there is a large array that runs all year round, even if several monks of the Yudan period join forces, it is not easy to break it. ”
Speaking of this, Old Man Lin half-squinted his eyes, and the old god was on the ground, as if he had settled down.
Qianxue didn't even see the shadow of his senior sister when he heard him, so he had to take out another spirit stone...... So intermittently, when she listened to the whole story, she actually spent more than a dozen spirit stones.
The story itself is not complicated, but the old man added to it, saying that it was called a ups and downs, and he firmly grasped Qianxue's heart, and he couldn't wait to know the end of the story immediately. When the old man said how the Holy Maiden of the Demon Sect killed the Quartet, and how the True Sect was defeated and retreated, a woman in Tsing Yi suddenly appeared, and the Holy Maiden was seriously injured at once, and after that, the story came to an abrupt end.
Knowing that the old man wanted another spirit stone, Qianxue hurriedly took out another piece, quickly stuffed it into the old man's arms, and looked at the old man expectantly.
"Taishang Laojun, alas, it's not the old man, I deliberately deceived the girl's spirit stone, it's just a spirit sheep sent up, if I refuse to leave, wouldn't it violate the original meaning of Taoism?" ”
Qian Xue was stunned and said, "How did the Qingzhu Dao people defeat the Demon Sect Holy Maiden?" ”
"At that time, the battle situation was very chaotic, and Qingzhu didn't want to mention it afterwards, but I was afraid that only the true people in the Yudan period would know about it. Old man Lin said.
Qianxue was silent, thinking about the whole story again, always feeling that something was wrong, and staring at the old man's eyes also showed a slight unkindness. When Old Man Lin saw this, he hurriedly changed the topic and said, "What exercises Xiaoyou has been practicing recently, the old way may be able to explain a thing or two." ”
Hearing this, Qian Xue pressed the doubts in her heart and said, "The juniors are also worried about not knowing what exercises to learn these days, can Uncle Lin give me some advice?"
After knowing that Qianxue is the root of the water spirit, Old Man Lin thought for a moment, and then said: "Everything in the world is inseparable from water, Xiaoyou might as well learn that 'Break from Water', practice to the extreme, you can pump out the water within a few zhang, and take people's lives invisibly, which is extremely powerful." ”
"There is no 'water decision' exercise in the moral hall. ”
The old man smiled, took out a bamboo slip from the storage bag, and said: "It's a coincidence, the old way happens to have a copy, if you need it, you only need, eh, only a medium-grade spirit stone." ”
Qianxue was overjoyed, took the bamboo slip from the old man's hand and looked at it, and sure enough, it was 'out of the water', so he took out a medium-grade spirit stone and handed it to the old man, and happily put the bamboo slip into the storage bag. He humbly asked for advice: "The junior watched "Introduction to Formation" a few days ago, and I was confused, so I asked Uncle Lin for guidance. ”
"Didn't the old Tao say just now? The formation has now declined, what else do you learn to do?" the old man was stunned.
"The younger generation once accidentally broke into the peach blossom array and was trapped in it for several days before it was rescued, so I wanted to learn the knowledge of the dot formation method in case of emergency. Qianxue said nonsense.
Old Man Lin didn't talk, and was silent for a long time, so that when Qianxue thought that he had forgotten her existence, he opened his mouth and said something that made her ashamed.
