Chapter 39 Changing Lives Against the Heavens
"That's it, let's give it a try first, if you don't even dare to try, then what's the point of cultivation. ”
Qiao Yuan took a deep breath, looked at the waterfall a hundred zhang away, whispered to himself, and then walked directly towards the deep pool under the waterfall.
"Brother Qiao, what are you going to do?"
Zhan Yao followed behind Qiao Yuan with a grin, and asked with big eyes.
Bai Yue also followed behind Qiao Yuan slowly, very dependent, as if he didn't want to leave for a single step.
"I'm going to work out under the waterfall, you just stay on the shore, and when you're tired, go to the hut and rest, don't worry. ”
Qiao Yuan explained to Zhan Yao as he walked, and when he saw her worried, he immediately comforted her softly.
When he reached the edge of the deep pool, he saw a boulder in the center of the fall.
The boulder is a zhang wide enough for Qiao Yuan to stand on it, but because of the perennial erosion, the surface of the boulder is very smooth, and even if the place is large enough, it is very easy to slide off the stone.
Qiao Yuan followed the edge of the waterhole to find the closest place to the boulder, but it was only a zhang wide, and he estimated that he should be able to jump on the boulder in one step. Without thinking too much, Qiao Yuan stepped back a few feet, then accelerated and ran forward, leaping forward in one step, and landed directly on the boulder.
Falling on the boulder does not mean that he can stand firmly on the boulder, Qiao Yuan only felt that the power of a thousand catties suddenly appeared on his head, and the impact of the water suddenly made his eyes dazzle, and his head was buzzing.
Because the surface of the boulder was very smooth, coupled with the impact of the water, he couldn't stand still at all, and before he could react, he felt like the sky was spinning, and the pool of water was frantically submerging his body.
Qiao Yuan's first attempt to stand on the boulder ended in failure, but this was normal, after all, it was the first time he saw such a large waterfall, and he couldn't predict the impact of the water, even if he changed to someone else, he didn't use his spiritual power and only used his body to resist, maybe he would be injured.
"Brother Joe!"
Zhan Yao only saw Qiao Yuan jumping onto the boulder, but he didn't stand on his feet, but his body fell and was washed into the deep pool with the current. With an anxious look on her face, she ran to the edge of the pool and cried out loudly. Bai Yue also hurried to the edge of the pool and howled.
"Don't worry, it's not a big deal. ”
Qiao Yuan suddenly came out of the pool water, his face was not depressed, and he said to Zhan Yao with a smile, and then he slowly swam under the boulder.
He didn't plan to rush up the boulder, the road had to go step by step, since he couldn't stand on the boulder now, he would stay under the boulder now, and when he got used to the impact of the water, it would not be too late to climb the boulder.
He clutched the boulder with both hands, closed his eyes and gritted his teeth, carrying the impact of the water above his head.
The hundred-zhang high waterfall, this impact is no less than smashing a thousand catties of boulders on Qiao Yuan's body, although the power of the water flow is relatively scattered, but the water falling from the waterfall is endless.
It's like Qiao Yuan is bearing the impact of a thousand catties of strength all the time, and it is not so easy to persevere, which requires great perseverance and a strong body.
Fortunately, he drank a lot of medicinal soup from Tie Mo, and his body was nourished very strongly, so it was not a problem to bear the strength of a thousand catties.
As for perseverance, even if Qiao Yuan didn't want to improve his cultivation quickly, he had to persist for Zhan Yao, he saw something from the old man Zhan's eyes, some secrets about Zhan Yao, he had to help her, in order to repay her kindness, and also for his feelings for treating her as a sister.
Qiao Yuan had been insisting on being under the waterfall, his eyes closed, and no other sound could be heard in his ears, and the humming of the water had been echoing in his mind.
However, his mind has been thinking about how to run from the bottom of the waterfall to the top of the waterfall, no matter how he thinks about it, he thinks it is impossible, after all, even if there is no waterfall, it is impossible for him to run from the almost vertical mountain wall to the top of the mountain wall without spiritual power.
Monks don't use spiritual power to be like mortals, although their bodies are stronger than mortals, but running from the bottom of the waterfall to the top of the waterfall is not to see whether the body is strong or not.
Four hours had passed in a flash, and Qiao Yuan was now accustomed to this kind of water impact. He opened his eyes and climbed ashore, but he saw that Bai Yue was also at the edge of the waterhole and suffered the impact of the edge of the waterfall, although the water flow and impact force at the edge of the waterfall were much smaller, but it was just right for Bai Yue, Qiao Yuan did not bother it.
"Brother Qiao, you finally came up, I thought something had happened to you if you didn't come up again. ”
Zhan Yao had been sitting by the river looking at Qiao Yuan's location, but because Qiao Yuan was in the center of the impact of the waterfall, his whole body was covered by the splash, and he couldn't see the slightest outside at all.
"Hey...... Don't worry, nothing will happen. How boring you are to be here alone, go back to the hut and rest first, and I'll go back later. ”
Qiao Yuan's whole body was wet, and the clothes on his body were all washed up, but because Zhan Yao was here, he was embarrassed to take it off, so he could only smile and persuade her to go back first.
"Brother Qiao, what do you want to eat, I'll go back and make something for you. ”
Zhan Yao thought about it, felt a little hungry, and then said with a smile.
"Just the fish soup last time, I like it. ”
Qiao Yuan said to Zhan Yao with a gentle smile on his face.
Zhan Yao nodded, stood up and walked towards the bamboo house hundreds of zhang away.
After watching Zhan Yao leave, he took off his wet clothes and wore only a pair of pants. Then he turned and ran quickly, leaping forward and stepping directly on the boulder.
Although Qiao Yuan had been prepared, the power of the thousand catties added to him in an instant also made him panic, his feet stepped on the boulder, and he shook from side to side a few times, but after holding on for five breaths, he was washed into the deep pool by the current.
Qiao Yuan did not go to the waterfall again this time, but climbed directly onto the shore and continued to try to stand on the boulder.
He had already adjusted to the impact of the waterfall, but the boulder was too slippery for a moment before he was washed down into the deep pool. Now he needs to keep trying, and stand on top of the boulder in one attempt after another.
Qiao Yuan stepped on the boulder again and again, and was washed down into the deep pool again and again, from the beginning he could only hold on to five breaths, and after an hour, he could stand on it straighten up and stand for a cup of tea. Another hour passed, and he could stand on a boulder with a stick of incense.
With the attempts again and again, as the persistence became longer and longer, I don't know why, Qiao Yuan's mind became clearer and clearer.
It was a state of extreme calmness, a state of blankness in the mind after a long roaring impact, as if everything in this world had slowed down in his eyes.
The water fell on Qiao Yuan's body, splashing into tiny droplets, which merged into larger droplets, and the big droplets merged into the water ball, and the water balls finally smashed on the boulders, scattered into countless droplets.
The water droplets merge into the big droplets, and the big droplets merge into the water balls, and finally sink into the pool, splashing endlessly.
Cycle after cycle, this scene is repeated in front of Qiao Yuan's eyes, endlessly, with continuous water and continuous pictures.
At this moment, Qiao Yuan seemed to have entered a strange state, in this state, his mind was extremely clear, and there were only endless water droplets, water balls, and water splashes in his mind, except for these, it was a blank.
He didn't know that his name was Qiao Yuan, he didn't know what he was doing, he didn't know where he was from, he didn't know where he was going.
He felt like he had become a drop of water, he wanted to go with the flow, he wanted to blend into the balloon, he wanted to hit the boulder, he wanted to splash into more droplets.
"Bang ......"
Qiao Yuan's mind suddenly shook, and he was immediately overwhelmed by the endless turbulent tide.
He came to his senses in an instant, and hurriedly swam towards the surface of the water with a wave of his limbs.
After climbing ashore, Qiao Yuan touched his forehead, although there was no blood, but he puffed up a small bag, and his face showed a puzzled look, just now he felt as if he had become a water ball, and the ghost wanted to hit the boulder, so he had a small bag on his forehead.
"Brother Qiao, it's not early, let's go back to eat. ”
Zhan Yao ran from a distance, and shouted at Qiao Yuan while he was still far away.
"Okay, I'll go back right away. ”
Qiao Yuan was interrupted by Zhan Yao's shouting, and immediately took out a clean set of clothes from the storage bag and put them on loosely.
"Bai Yue, let's go back. ”
Qiao Yuan shouted at Bai Yue, who was still in the pool, and saw that Bai Yue turned around and was washed into the pool by the current, and then Bai Yue swam to the shore, climbed up, and shook all over, and the water droplets on his body were shaken away, Qiao Yuan smiled and picked up the wet clothes on the ground, and walked towards Zhan Yao.
Qiao Yuan and Zhan Yao talked and laughed as they walked, and after going back to eat, Qiao Yuan walked into the room to prepare to meditate and cultivate.
During this period, Old Man Zhan did not come out to ask Qiao Yuan about the situation, Qiao Yuan also knew that this trial could not be completed in a day or two, so he was not in a hurry, after all, the cultivation at night was the foundation.
"Huh, why do you feel that the spiritual power around you is stronger?"
He held the spirit stone and the fragment of mixed yuan jade in his hand, and just after closing his eyes and cultivating for a while, he suddenly opened his eyes, and muttered something to himself.
Qiao Yuan lowered his head and pondered, and suddenly remembered that Old Man Zhan had said to him, "Try during the day, and you can experience the benefits by cultivating at night", he didn't care about it at first, but he didn't expect the benefits to be so great, it was simply a creation against the sky.
"What the hell is the reason for this, is it just because of the impact under the waterfall?"
Qiao Yuan thought about the reason carefully, he believed that it was not that the spiritual power here was richer than the spiritual energy in the valley, but that he could feel more spiritual energy.
This matter is like this, the existence of aura in a place is fixed, and ordinary people can only feel one-tenth of the aura of this place, which was the case before Qiao Yuan.
But after a day of trials, he could feel three or four out of ten of the aura of this place, and this change was almost equivalent to changing his life against the sky, enhancing a person's qualifications in disguise.
