A quarter of an hour later, Hu Zhong was the last to eat, put down the dishes and chopsticks, smiled at Hu Jian, who had been staring at him, and said, "Jian'er, you go to rest for a while, and when the sun sets a little more, we will set off for the mountains." ”

"Okay, Dad, why don't we leave now?" Hu Jian jumped up with a smile and looked at Hu Zhong excitedly.

"Not now, it's too hot at noon, and the beasts are lying on their stomachs, and now you can't catch them, so you go and rest for a while." Zhao Ling put her hands on Hu Jian's shoulders, wiped the corners of Hu Jian's mouth with her hands, and said softly.

"Yes, young master, everyone who is at noon has to take a nap. On the side, Xiaocui looked at Hu Jian's happy appearance and joked with Hu Jian.

Hu Jian treats her very well, often helps her with housework, and treats her like a sister, she is sincerely happy to see Hu Jian happy.

Hu Jian sighed, got up and walked to the room, and Xiaobai climbed on Hu Jian's shoulder in three or two.

After entering the room, he lay on the bed, thinking that he could go hunting in the mountains with his parents in the afternoon, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, looking forward to his parents being busy for a while, and they could stay together often in the future, and fell asleep with a smile unconsciously.

In the outer courtyard, there are several stone benches under a willow tree, and a large blue-gray stone table in the middle, and a cyan porcelain plate with a few oranges on the table.

Zhao Ling sat on the stone bench, with a thick reluctance on her face, and looked at Hu Zhong, "Brother Zhong, can't we really accompany the child anymore, he is so sensible, I really can't bear him"

"I know, I also want to accompany him more, but I can't drag it on, we can't stay here all the time, Jian'er is born without a spiritual root, and the refining body is also fighting with demon beasts all day long, dangerous and abnormal, and he can't cultivate anything, he is not the same road as us, let him go through this life in good health, and it is not better to marry a wife and have children. Hu Zhong said with a sigh.

"If it weren't for the dog thief who crossed the river and demolished the bridge, was ungrateful, suppressed you in every way, and set a trap for you insidiously, Brother Zhong, you wouldn't have fallen here..." A trace of hatred flashed in Zhao Ling's face.

"Don't say it, I will make the dog thief pay, I have been hiding in this small village for the past few years, but I also want to give Jian'er a happy childhood, but every night I think of that night, my mother, my little sister, the 467 lives in my house, I don't want to think about it all the time..."

"Brother Zhong..."Zhao Ling held Hu Zhong's hand and called softly.

Hu Zhong sighed deeply, and then returned to his natural state, and slowly let go of his hands.

"Are you going to start?" Grandpa Zhang's figure appeared in the outer courtyard at some point, watching the two of them speak softly, leaning against the wall, smoking a pipe in their mouths, and there was no appearance of a subordinate at all.

"Well, I've been..."

In the afternoon, an hour later, Hu Jian followed Zhao Ling and Hu Zhong into the mountains, and for the next week, Hu Zhong and Zhao Ling stayed at home, the three of them went to the town, hunted in the mountains, swam, and even sat together to listen to the stories that Hu Jian had heard him from the history books, and Hu Jian's face had a happy and satisfied smile every day.

Seven days later, late one night, Hu Jian rolled over from the bed and felt some pain in his stomach. He put on his cloth shoes and walked towards the thatched hut in the outer courtyard.

Entering the main house, the candles in Hu Zhong and Zhao Ling's room were flickering, and there was a faint voice, as if they were talking about something.

His eyes moved, and he walked over quietly, squatting under the window, and he wanted to suddenly burst out and play a prank, but he suddenly frowned and listened intently.

"Lao Zhang, the athletes will be entrusted to you to take care of in the future. Zhao Ling's voice was a little choked, and she sounded very sad.

"Alas... Don't worry, I'll take care of him. Grandpa Zhang's voice was a little heavy.

"Lao Zhang, no matter what the outcome of the two of us is in the future, even if the two of us die, you must not tell Jian'er about us, don't let him take this path..."

Hu Jian listened to the conversation in the house, his face changed greatly, and his thoughts turned rapidly, and he did not guess what was going on.

At this moment, accompanied by a yawn, a slight sound of footsteps came, and Hu Jian was frightened.

"Ah, young master, you scared me, you don't sleep at night, what are you doing here?" Xiao Cui was sleepy-eyed and clutched her chest in fright.

"My stomach hurts, and you scared me?" Hu Jian rolled his eyes and replied.

Hu Jian had a glimmer of understanding in his heart, and he already had an idea in his heart. He took a deep breath, a smile on his face, and pushed the door straight inside.

"Dad, mother, you haven't slept yet, Grandpa Zhang is also here. Hu Jian said to the three people in the room.

Xiaocui touched her nose and watched Hu Jian walk into the room, a trace of doubt appeared on her face, and when she heard Hu Jian's voice in the house, she rubbed her eyes, yawned and continued to walk towards the thatched house.

"Why haven't you slept yet, how long have you been hiding there?" Hu Zhong's face was a little unnatural.

At this time, Zhao Ling also frowned, looking at Hu Jian nervously.

"No, I'm sick to my stomach, I'm about to go to the thatched house, what are you doing?" Hu Jian saw the strange look of his parents, and the determination in his heart was a little stronger.

Speaking of which, Hu Zhong and the others should not have found Hu Jian, but when they were leaving, they were sad in their hearts, and they didn't even notice when Hu Jian walked outside the door.

Hu Zhong didn't answer, and looked directly into Hu Jian's eyes. Under this gaze, Hu Jian only felt that he had been seen through from the inside out, as if all the secrets were exposed under this gaze, and cold sweat began to break out in his palms.

"It's nothing, let's go to the bathroom. I still have something to do with your father and Grandpa Zhang, I'll sleep in a while, wear more clothes when I go to the toilet in the future, don't freeze. Zhao Ling breathed a sigh of relief, picked up a piece of Hu Zhong's clothes from the bed, and draped it on Hu Jian's body.

Zhao Ling didn't think much about it, but when she thought that she was leaving, her nose was sore, tears began to roll in her eyes, she turned her head away, and pretended to rub her eyes, looking like something was fascinating her eyes.

"Well, thank you, mother, shall we go to the town tomorrow?" Hu Jian looked at Zhao Ling's expression, guessed Zhao Ling's thoughts, hugged Zhao Ling, and felt reluctant for a while.

was hugged by Hu Jian, a trace of tears crossed the corners of Zhao Ling's eyes, and she quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, for fear that Hu Jian would notice.

"Hmm," Zhao Ling's voice trembled slightly.

"Alright, go ahead, don't pull it into your pants. When Hu Zhong saw Zhao Ling's appearance, he panicked, dragged Hu Jian, and urged.

"Dad, are you going with you?" Hu Jian took the opportunity to hug his father.

Hu Zhong didn't expect Hu Jian to hug him, and he was puzzled, and his brows furrowed slightly.

"Good. Hu Zhong replied and gently touched Hu Jian's head.

Hu Jian felt Hu Zhong's slightly trembling body, the familiar feeling of friction on his head, and felt that his eyes were becoming more and more sore, and he quickly turned around and walked out of the room.

"Well, it's good, that's great. Hu Jian's heart was even more sour.

Zhao Ling's eyes in the house couldn't stop sliding down...

Hu Jian has already understood from the conversation just now that Hu Zhong and Zhao Ling are leaving, and they will have to go for a long time, and they may not be able to come back safely, because there is an important thing to do. He didn't want to burden his parents, so he was reluctant, so he used the excuse of going to play tomorrow, and finally hugged Hu Zhong and Zhao Ling.

Hu Jian squatted in the thatched house, his tears could no longer be suppressed, and he cried a lot, but he didn't dare to make a sound, gritted his teeth and endured it, thinking about the care and love that his parents had always given him since he was a child, and tears welled up.

After a while, calming down a little, Hu Jian pretended to be casual and went back to the room, and didn't go in when he passed by.

In his room, he tossed and turned. Thinking about what he just heard, his parents must have to walk for a long time if they want to leave him, and his life may be in danger, and he didn't let Grandpa Zhang tell him, the reason can be imagined. Hu Jian is smart by nature, and he has read a lot of books over the years, so he really guessed things out of a rough idea just by relying on such a sentence or two.

About half an hour later, Hu Zhong and Zhao Ling appeared at the door of Hu Jian's room...

"Sleep, let's go. Hu Zhong said.

Zhao Ling didn't answer, walked over to Hu Jian, gently kissed Hu Jian's forehead, his eyes were full of reluctance, and then looked at Hu Jian blankly after helping Hu Jian cover the quilt.

"Gone. Hu Zhong said in a low voice, took Zhao Ling's hand, and walked towards the door.

Hu Jian looked at the window silently, watching his parents slowly disappear from view on horseback, tears dripping uncontrollably. He would love to go along, but he knew it would only be a burden to his parents.

Hu Jian clenched his fists, clenched his teeth, looked at the direction where Hu Zhong and Zhao Ling left, a trace of inexplicable sadness flashed in his eyes, and he looked at the empty village entrance blankly.

I don't know how long it took, Hu Jian touched his tears, turned over and got out of bed, and turned out a box among a pile of debris under the bed, the box was covered with dust, and silently looked at a book found out of the box.

In the past, he could only understand the pictures on it, and his father took him with him to explain to him. But now that he is literate, he can understand the words on it, and he flips through the pages and browses the contents of the book, and he does not feel sleepy at all.

A quarter of an hour later, he closed the book in his hand, closed his eyes, and began to organize what he saw.

This book of wood spirit recipes is a book of foundation building exercises. It tells the story that the meridians of the human body have 12 meridians, 8 strange meridians and the middle channel. People need to sense the aura between heaven and earth, guide the aura from the twelve meridians to the eight meridians of the strange meridians, and then gather in the central channel, and then enter the phantom sea, that is, the human dantian from the central channel, and store it.

The dantian will slowly expand with the amount of spiritual power absorbed, and when it expands to a certain extent, it will stop, and the stored spiritual energy will be full, at this time, the gaseous spiritual energy must be converted into a liquid state, and the foundation will be successfully built, and then you can open the valley, without eating, you can maintain the spiritual power required by the body every day, and the life expectancy can rise up to 250 years old.

The whole exercise is divided into 12 layers, every third layer is a hurdle, after reaching the twelfth layer, you need to find the magic spirit grass between heaven and earth, Hua Ling grass, and cooperate with other auxiliary materials to practice the foundation Dan, so that it is possible to turn the spiritual energy from qi to liquid, that is, to build the foundation successfully, and truly enter the door of the cultivator.

And the power of the wood spirit is also amazing, but there is also a certain process, the first three layers of the wood spirit are only to strengthen the body, and when it reaches the fourth to sixth layers, that is, the early stage, there will be a slow power manifestation, and simple spells can be used, such as divine power, which can greatly increase manpower, and the tripod of a thousand catties can be easily lifted.

And after reaching the middle of the 7th-9th layer, there is a certain amount of spiritual power, and it can use powerful spells, such as fireball techniques, ice archery techniques, etc., which are even more powerful.

When you reach the late stage of the tenth to twelfth layers, your cultivation will be improved at any time, and the spells you use will become more and more powerful. A small fireball technique can reach a diameter of 3 meters, and if a fireball technique goes down, everyone within the range of the fireball technique will be burned to ashes, and people within a radius of 10 meters will be burned to varying degrees.

What's more powerful is that you can use magic weapons, the sharpness of magic weapons is equivalent to the human level of divine soldiers, sharpening iron like clay, killing enemies with imperial weapons, taking people's heads within 100 meters, killing people invisible.

As for the foundation building, it can be used to use spiritual weapons, and even use the levitation technique, short flights, and spiritual weapon illusion attacks, a hill can be flattened, and it is extremely powerful.

Of course, the book also says that if you want to cultivate, there will be very harsh conditions. The premise is that there must be a spiritual root, because only with a spiritual root can you feel the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, and the quality of the spiritual root also determines the future cultivation achievements. There are very few people with spiritual roots, so there is no one who can really practice the immortal law, and there are even fewer people who really have high-quality spiritual roots, and there may not be one in ten thousand.

Hu Jian couldn't help but be a little worried when he thought of this, after reading the book, there is a special method in the immortal cultivation world to detect a person's spiritual root, and the crystal ball that his father took him should be to measure the spiritual root of a cultivator, and the crystal ball only lit up for a moment and did not react.

Is there a problem with himself, what kind of problem does it exist, so that the Taoist priest will shake his head, and his father will no longer let him cultivate, thinking of this, he can't help but be a little scared, if he has a problem, he can't cultivate.....
