Seeing Song Xiong riding on horseback nervously, Zhao Ran couldn't help but smile, "It's been a day, and you're still so nervous?"

Song Xiongran "has never ridden this kind of ...... Well, spirits, it always feels incredible. ”

Zhao Ran said, "Actually, you don't have to worry about it at all, it will naturally move forward with me - go forward with my donkey brother." ”

Song Xiong looked at the old donkey that Zhao Ran was riding, nodded, and couldn't help but ask, "Abbot, how far has this donkey monarch cultivated?

Zhao Ran brushed the ears of the leper old donkey, "He is one step away from speaking now, and when I hear him speak one day, even if I officially step into the ranks of spirit demons, I'm afraid I won't be able to beat him at that time." As for your horse, it is much worse in terms of cultivation, and when it comes to the ability to fight, you can try it, of course, I hope you can win. ”

Song Xiong looked back at the white horse he was riding, and shook his head, "Forget it......"

The two said, Zhao Ran pointed ahead, "This is Taihua Mountain, let's rest first." ”

Looking for a leeward place, Zhao Ran took out the tableware and ingredients from the storage wrench, Song Xiong took it, and he was busy running before and after, and he made a fire here to cook. The ingredients were ready-made, and they picked up very quickly, and in a short time, the two of them ate fragrant barbecue and drank hot broth.

Song Xiong looked at Taihua Mountain not far away and asked, "This is where the Great Immortals of Toad Palace fought each other?"

Zhao Ran nodded, "The military appearance is quite spectacular, and now that I think about it, it is still very interesting." ”

Song Xiong said enviously, "The abbot is in the pavilion, what he sees and hears is different, and I and other ordinary people can only sigh hopelessly." ”

Zhao Ran asked, "Are you very envious of Qu Fenghe?"

Song Xiong sighed, "Who doesn't envy the people in the temple?" I can't imagine that the naughty young man back then actually had this opportunity, alas, ......"

Zhao Ran said, "This is a matter of qualifications, innate, destined, and unbelievable." ”

Song Xiong nodded gloomily, "Yes." The abbot said that I had no qualifications, and I have been very sorry for these days, but now I have thought about it. In this life, you must know how to be content, in the past, I was a thief in the green forest, and I lived a life of licking blood with a knife, and now I can become a Taoist priest, which is already much stronger than others, and I can't expect the rest. ”

Zhao Ran comforted: "It's good to be able to see it." After a while, he suddenly said, "I have an exercise here, are you interested?"

Song Xiong Huo Ran raised his head, "The abbot said...... Exercises?"

Zhao Ran nodded, "Not bad." I don't know if you can learn it, but if you try, you may be able to make your martial arts go further, practice well, and maybe prolong your life. ”

Song Xiong hurriedly said, "I learn! I don't know what kind of exercises it is?"

Zhao Ran said, "It will be difficult at the beginning, and some people may not be able to achieve results after five or six years of study, can you persevere in practicing?"

Song Xiong put down the dishes and chopsticks, got up solemnly, and knelt down to Zhao Ran, "Abbot, I don't know if Song Xiong has the fate to worship the abbot as a teacher?"

Zhao Ran let him kneel on the ground, weighed back and forth in his heart, pondered for a long time, and went out with a flying talisman, "Teacher, is it feasible for the disciple to accept a named apprentice?"

The reply came quickly, "How is the cultivation talent?"

"The roots are good, but there are no qualifications. ”

"Oh, then whatever you want. ”

Song Xiong's heart went up and down, he lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Zhao Ran, waiting for this immortal master who had great kindness to him to make a decision, and he didn't know how long he waited, and then he heard Zhao Ran slowly speak, "I am the Huayun Pavilion Louguan lineage, with my cultivation, I can't accept apprentices yet, and your talent can't enter this sect......"

Song Xiong's heart tightened, and he was extremely frustrated.

But I heard Zhao Ran continue: "...... Although I can't admit you into the sect, I can recognize you as a registered disciple, I don't know if you are willing?"

Song Xiong was suddenly overjoyed, and said loudly, "The disciple is willing! Please accept the disciple's salute!" After that, he kowtowed three times in a row.

Zhao Ran raised his hand, "Get up." ”

Song Xiong got up happily, and he didn't know what to say, standing in front of Zhao Ran, not really sitting or standing.

Zhao Ran smiled, "Sit down, continue to eat, in front of me, you don't have to be so restrained." ”

"Hey, got it, teacher, I'll serve you soup. He took the empty bowl in Zhao Ran's hand, filled it with broth, and handed it over respectfully.

Song Xiong is four years old Chinese New Year's Eve this year, Zhao Ran is twenty-eight years old, he is six years older than Zhao Ran, but in front of Zhao Ran, he is like a child at the moment.

Zhao Ran said, "I will pass on your "Shangqing Jue" now, this is a basic exercise, but with your qualifications, it may not be easy to learn this exercise well, and how far you can learn it depends only on your perseverance." ”

"The disciple understands. ”

Song Xiong's qualifications are extremely poor, so it is particularly difficult for beginners to learn, not only is it difficult to feel the aura between heaven and earth, but I am afraid that even the sea of qi cannot be touched. The sea of qi in martial arts and the sea of qi in cultivation are two concepts, one is a real form that can be checked, and the other is ethereal and indescribable, so if Zhao Ran wants to pass on the secret to him, he must first find the sea of qi for him.

Zhao Ran first asked Song Xiong to meditate and taught him one of the simplest methods of meditation, "Calm your mind and keep your original thoughts." ”

Song Xiong has a background in martial arts, so he quickly calmed down.

Zhao Ran said again, "As a teacher, I will help you find the sea of qi with mana, if you really can't help it, just shout." ”

Song Xiong nodded slightly, his eyes half-closed, and he was ready. Suddenly, an extremely thin force in the center of his eyebrows penetrated into the meridians, and he suddenly felt a thrill. But he is a master in the martial arts, and his endurance is far beyond ordinary people, and he can endure it when he was caught by Jiang Zhiheng half a year ago and tortured repeatedly, let alone at this time.

After a while, Zhao Ran finished his work, Song Xiong's body trembled, and he let out a long breath of turbidity, and he intuitively felt that his clothes were soaked.

"Can you feel it?"

"Yes, I feel it, but it seems to ...... I don't know where it is......"

"Normal, your qi is empty at the moment, in fact, it is invisible, just remember the feeling just now. ”

"Yes, disciple understood. ”

"I'm going to pass on to you now, and you have to keep it in mind. The essence of the sun and the moon of the song clouds, the treasure of heaven and earth, contains the qi of the five elements, and the four images are formed. Black lead and mercury, these two are hazy images. There is Wu in the day, the name is in the day, the qi is Zhu Ying, and the solid form of refining. There is a rabbit in the month, and the name is the sun yang essence. Refining yang in the yin will be the ...... of the immortal hall"

Song Xiong tried hard to think about his memory, but Zhao Ran knew that it must not be so easy, so he patiently took him with him to recite it more than ten times in a row, and then he barely remembered it.

After resting for a while, Zhao Ran continued to pass on the practice of his "Shangqing Jue". This method of practice is more concrete and nuanced than the general formula, and every sentence must not be wrong in half a day. If Song Xiong has good qualifications, Zhao Ran can guide him casually, he can see the aura around him, and when he sees the aura, it is equivalent to having a direction, and it will be much easier to run the Shangqing Jue exercises and absorb the aura.

But it's a pity that Song Xiong can't see the aura around him for the time being, what makes him stronger than ordinary people is that he can feel some tracks slightly, but the feeling is very vague. Therefore, Zhao Ran had a hard time teaching.

That night, Zhao Ran taught Song Xiong "Shangqing Jue" at the foot of Taihua Mountain, and taught it for a whole night, but Song Xiong still didn't even have an eyebrow. Zhao Ran was not discouraged, it was not so easy to introduce Song Xiong, he was fully mentally prepared.
