Chapter 13: Eight Years

One day, when he woke up, a feeling of hunger hit him, and he shouted, "Master, I'm hungry." ”

But no one answered him, and then he thought that the master had passed away.

Xu Yang walked into the kitchen and lit the fire, but suddenly found that he didn't know how to cook, and he stood in front of the stove in a daze.

He tried hard to remember how the master cooked at that time, but after thinking about it for a long time, he found that he couldn't remember much, and tears flowed down his eyes inexplicably, and then he cried loudly.

But he still had to live, after all, he made a big oath yesterday, he stood up, wiped away his tears, then grabbed a handful of noodles and threw them into the pot that had already boiled, and then added some water, and waited until the noodles rolled in the pot a few times, then fished out the noodles, and then found that he had made a pot of clear soup noodles, which had no taste at all, so he had to find a garlic and start eating.

What does the clear soup taste like?

"Cough---cough" just threw the garlic into his mouth and chewed it, and he was choked immediately, tears were also rolling in his eyes, he quickly picked up a few mouthfuls of noodles, and swallowed it without chewing much, which covered up the spiciness of garlic.

He took a big bite of it, but he thought of the Yangchun noodles that the master had made for himself at that time, and he remembered it like this, recalled the taste at that time, and finished the bowl of noodles in this way.

After he finished cleaning, he walked out, stood in the yard, looked at the big stone lion in front of the door, and remembered the past, when Xu Yang was lying on the big stone lion and You Longzi was leaning on the stone lion, the two looked at the sky above their heads and chatted, but most of them were You Longzi who said Xu Yang listened.

He walked in front of the stone lion and reached out to stroke the stone lion, "Master is gone, and now you are the only one left with me." ”

He muttered.

Xu Yang came to the mountain where You Longzi took him to enlightenment for the first time, looking into the distance, the sea of fog was hazy, and the mountain was still the same mountain, but the people changed from two to one, and he became a lonely person again.

Xu Yang wanted to calm down, but he couldn't do anything, he reluctantly walked down the mountain, walked through all the places that the master accompanied him at that time, and waited until the starry sky was brilliant before he went back.

After a simple meal, he lay on the bed, thinking about his future days, and he inexplicably felt a sense of weakness.

He lay in bed and couldn't sleep, so he got up and walked to the bookshelf, took out a book and read it.

He flipped through a few pages and saw a note inside.

"Xiao Yang, you don't have to answer because I know you can't say it, even as a teacher, looking at the whole world, no one should be able to say what the Tao is?"

"Over the years, I have come to realize that the Tao is the heart.

If the heart is sincere, then to the Tao also, popular preaching for the road, everyone walks the road is different, the final way is also different, the end of the teacher for so many years has only realized the way of life, but has not realized the peak of the Tao, it is too ethereal, now and you are a little early, but I know you will encounter this problem, I tell you, the Tao, in fact, is nothing, believe, there is, do not believe, then nothing. ”

"The foundation, for the teacher has been laid for you, how to write, it depends on yourself, you may encounter all kinds of difficulties in the future, I only hope you can maintain a courageous heart. ”

"Also, don't trust others, this is the world of the jungle, only those who stand at the top are qualified to wield the wind and clouds, don't show their edge before the strength does not allow, in fact, the teacher has a lot to say to you, but how can this short piece of paper be? ”

After Xu Yang read the letter, tears flowed down his eyes, it turned out that the master had already known that he would leave Xu Yang one day, maybe he didn't know that he would leave so soon.

Xu Yang put away the letter and wiped away his tears, the days are going to pass after all, there is still a great enemy waiting for him, if he is defeated like this, then it will completely make everything that the master has done for him in vain.

He didn't want to be defeated like this, he decided to fight for it, and as for what became in the future, it was up to him.

After figuring it out, Xu Yang lay on the bed and began to sleep, and soon fell asleep.

The next day, Xu Yang woke up early in the morning, and after a simple breakfast, he walked out of the door and continued to start the homework he had done before, but this time, it was obviously more ruthless than before, and it was already commonplace to faint when he practiced, and when he woke up, he continued to exercise his body until he couldn't bear it anymore.

Day after day, year after year, eight years have passed unconsciously, and Xu Yang has experienced everything in the past eight years.

But his soul refining has never been completed, what You Longzi said is that Xu Yang's soul and the dragon soul have long been perfectly matched, but Xu Yang feels that there is still a little difference between himself and the dragon soul, as for the difference, he can feel it, but he just can't say it.

Xu Yang has changed too much in eight years, he has long since faded away from his original immaturity, added a bit of masculinity, and his appearance is almost the same as that of an adult.

In the past eight years, Xu Yang has been desperately cultivating, learning the Taoism left by his master back then, and constantly perceiving the aura of heaven and earth, and now, Xu Yang guesses that he should be between the Heavenly Spirit Realm and the Metamorphosis Realm, because there is still an important step to reach the Metamorphosis Realm that has not been completed, that is, the soul.

The division of the realm by the outside world, as long as you can perceive the aura, and you can introduce the aura into yourself and use it for your own use, you can reach it, but you have to go through three steps to reach the realm of transformation.

One is to attract the spirit into the body, the second is to refine the body with the spirit, and the third is to refine the soul with the spirit.

The first two steps were completed by Xu Yang eight years ago, but this soul refining could not be done.

He looked through the various books left by You Longzi, but he didn't find a way that suited him.

I tried all kinds of soul refining methods, but I just made my soul more refined, but I didn't become strong at all.

For this reason, he was annoyed, and he also had doubts about himself, whether he was really not suitable for cultivation.

He had seen in the book that some people completed the transformation from heavenly spirits to gods in three years.

From the time he started cultivating at the age of six, to the age of fifteen now, he has not yet reached the realm of transformation for nine years, and he is depressed because of this.

It took a month to figure out that some people may really be geniuses, but it is obvious that they do not belong to the ranks of geniuses.

He had to work hard to make up for the gap between himself and the genius, and then he became even more himself.

He followed the methods in the book and continued to lay a solid foundation for himself.

In the past eight years, he has also learned how to take care of himself, learn various survival skills, and figure out by himself when he can't, so he has taken a lot of detours.

Xu Yang went home and lay on the bed, he felt that there was no point in staying here, and no matter how long he stayed, he would not achieve anything more.

He wanted to get out, but he encountered a problem, that is, how to get out.

The place where Xu Yang is located is the small world that You Longzi opened up back then, and here, there is nothing else except Xu Yang and some of the animals that You Longzi caught outside back then.

He had tried to get out, but he couldn't, which annoyed him.

Xu Yang got up and walked to the room where the master lived, hoping to find a way to get out of here.

Xu Yang had only been to You Longzi's room two or three times, but every time he came, he had a general look, and then turned around and left, not staying for long.

Xu Yang opened the door of You Longzi's room, everything was still the same as eight years ago, the strange thing was that there were no cobwebs all over the sky as imagined, dusty, but spotless.

Then, Xu Yang began to rummage through the cabinets, and after a while, the kung fu room was thrown everywhere.

After looking around and not finding anything useful, he lay on the bed and looked around, and then he noticed the bookcase in the southeast corner of the room, and he remembered the habit of You Longzi back then, liking to put things in the book.

He got up and walked forward, and began to flip through the books, which really made him find something.

A piece of paper, a blank piece of paper, he knew that You Longzi would not be bored with useless things in the book, he took the white paper in his hand and looked at it carefully, but he didn't find anything, it was no different from ordinary paper, and then he folded the white paper and put it in his pocket and continued to rummage.

After a while, he found that the bookcase had a dark layer, and when it was opened, there was a white bead and a letter inside.

When he opened the letter, he knew that it was left for him by You Longzi.

"Xiao Yang, this white bead is the key to this world, as long as you refine it, you can leave this world, or you can return here through this thing, however, I hope you can memorize all the ancient treasures here when you leave, keep it in mind, and at the same time there is a piece of paper, you have to refine it thoroughly, remember not to expose this paper outside, you must remember, remember. ”

Xu Yang took out the white paper from his pocket and looked at it carefully a few times, but he didn't see any difference, he followed his master's words, and suddenly, a white light poured out of his body, enveloping the white paper.

Using his own aura to refine it, half an hour passed, Xu Yang looked at the white paper in his hand sweating, but found that it was still the same as before, there was no change, not even a sign of being refined.

An hour passed, and the white paper only disappeared into a corner, and it was still too far from being completely refined.

But Xu Yang felt that his aura could not be supported for a long time, until Xu Yang's whole body aura was completely depleted, and the white paper had only been refined by less than a third.

Xu Yang sat down on the ground, wiped the sweat from his face and said, "This thing is really not simple. ”

On the body of the same realm, the aura contained in Xu Yang's body can be said to be rare, but all of it has not been used up and this blank paper has not been refined.

He rested for a while, and then planned to refine it again tomorrow, he dragged his tired body to carry all the books in the room to his room, planning to memorize these ancient treasures while refining.
