After some laughter, everyone had to face the cruelty of reality again. However, it is precisely because of this laughter that it also dilutes the anxiety and tension in their hearts.

"Hey, you're hungry, do you want to make something to eat?" Covering his rumbling stomach, he said with a smile, since he came out of the wine inn, he hasn't eaten, because he was too nervous about the affairs of the deacon hall before, he didn't feel anything, but now after some fighting, this stomach has long been so hungry that his chest is close to his back.

Jin Ning'er laughed and said, "At this time, you still have the heart to eat." ”

Hu Yan grinned and said: "People are iron and rice are steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry." If you don't eat enough, how can you fight the enemy. If you don't eat it, won't I be allowed to eat it?"

Wu Qiu nodded approvingly: "Yes, yes, yes, only when you are full will you have the strength to fight wits and courage with the group of puppies in the Law Enforcement Hall." Otherwise, it will be embarrassing to be hungry and weak in the legs. ”

Hu Yan raised his eyebrows at Wuqiu and gave a thumbs up secretly.

Wu Qiu smiled and continued: "But in order not to reveal your whereabouts, I suggest that we stop living and cooking." Just eat some dry food. ”

Jin Ning'er smiled and said, "I don't want to say a human thing." ”

Hu Yan pouted and sighed helplessly: "I can't eat a mouthful of hot food, just dry food, it's better than being hungry." ”

Lu Yi said: "It's not difficult to eat hot, big brother took out your sword, and used the flame on the sword to heat the food, isn't it hot?"

Lu Yi's words immediately made everyone laugh.

However, Hu Yan feels that although this is a bit nonsense, it is also a good way. So he silently recited the Tibetan Weapon Mantra, and really sacrificed the Dragon Soul Demon Slaying Sword.

"Big brother, aren't you, I'll just say that, just listen to it?" Lu Yi didn't expect to do nonsense, and suddenly felt a little confused.

Ziling covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Lu Yi, the first day you met your little brother, didn't he always say the same thing, and do whatever he wants?"

Lu Yi was stunned, and didn't say anything more with a sneer.

After Hu Yan sacrificed the Dragon Soul Demon Slaying Sword, he urged the true power in his body, and the Dragon Soul Demon Slaying Sword was excited, and suddenly a dazzling fire erupted on the long sword, and the people who were burning couldn't open their eyes.

Together, the surrounding temperature also rose sharply, making the cold stone room warm and comfortable.

Hu Yan urged the Dragon Soul Demon Slaying Sword to rise sharply, and hurriedly took out a few large cakes and dried meat from the Qiankun bag hanging from his waist, and roasted it with the fire of the Dragon Soul Demon Slaying Sword, and suddenly the fragrance came to his nose, which made his fingers move.

Jin Ning'er sniffed her nose, and suddenly said with a flash of inspiration: "It's better to heat that tea too, it's better than cold water to prick your teeth." ”

Hu Yan nodded, put the Dragon Soul Demon Slaying Sword on the stone table, and carefully placed the teapot on the side on top of the Dragon Soul Demon Slaying Sword. While heating the tea, he took out a pot of wine from the bag.

Naturally, the wine gourd could not be roasted on the flame, so he took two more teacups and filled them, and then held them to warm by the flame.

After a while, the water is boiling and the wine is warm, and the cake is crispy and fragrant. It's a good breakfast.

Hu Yan handed the baked flatbread and dried meat to everyone, and after putting the boiled tea and warm wine aside, he recited the Tibetan Weapon Mantra and put the Dragon Soul Demon Slaying Sword into the void, and said with a smile: "If the head of the front door knew that I had brought the treasure of Qingyuan Palace to do this, I would probably jump out of the coffin in anger." ”

Wu Qiu smiled and said: "No, no, no, the ancestor is a feather immortal, how can he be so angry that he jumped out of the coffin." However, if you let your uncle or master know, I'm afraid you will be so angry that you will blow your beard and stare at your eyes. ”

Hearing this, everyone burst out laughing.

After all, this stomach still has to be filled, and the hungry nonsense can't care about talking to them, so he picks up a big cake and gnaws it.

This hungry, usually hard-to-swallow flatbread also makes him feel extra sweet. Soaking in hot water is even more wonderful.

Hu Yan took a bite of flatbread and a sip of wine, and ate heartily, until the only few flatbreads on the table were also coaxed by everyone to eat, Hu Yanfang patted his stomach with satisfaction and said: "This is full of food and drink, and people are also refreshed." What are we going to do today?"

Wu Qiu shook his head and said, "What can I do, just stay in this stone room and wait for dark." Could it be that you still dare to go out and walk around, and you are not afraid of being discovered by the people of the Law Enforcement Hall, but you have misplanned your plan?"

Hu Yan naturally knew that he couldn't go out in broad daylight, but he was really bored to stay in this stone room, and he had to find something to do to get through to dark.

But when I looked around, there wasn't much to do in the stone room, except for a painting and a dusty book on the bookshelf next to it.

"Why don't you look at the books!" Hu Yan reluctantly walked to the bookshelf and pulled out a yellowed book at random.

The book has been here for some years, and the cover is already covered with dust. However, I can vaguely see the three strong characters of "Hug Puzi".

Hu Yan blew the dust on the book cover, and immediately choked and coughed: "The master is really this person, this "Hug Puzi" written by Ge Hong is a cultivation book, he actually hid it here, and he didn't say that it would show us more." ”

The reason why he knew about this book was also because it was mentioned in the Cultivation Record. Although this book is not a secret book of the Secret Law, it is a must-read classic for practitioners.

Wu Qiu said: "This book is in the library of the Martial Cultivation Pavilion, don't you know?"

Hu Yan was stunned, and said with a wry smile: "I really don't know this." ”

Before, because he had comprehended the Eight Great Divine Dragon Palms, he had been concentrating on practicing this palm technique, and he had no time to take care of anything else, so how could he think of looking for this book.

Wu Qiu glanced at him and said, "You are now a cultivator who has built a foundation, and you haven't even read the most basic cultivation classics, who will believe it." I see you, you still have to make up for the knowledge of this cultivation path. ”

Hu Yan sneered and said, "That's that." ”

Although Hu Yan hadn't read any of the most basic cultivation classics, he hadn't read the "Strange Record of Cultivation" passed down to him by the Fallen Immortals. This "Strange Record of Cultivation" records not only the secret techniques of exercises, but also a lot of knowledge and insights on cultivation, after reading nonsense, I was greatly inspired, and I also have some unique opinions on this practice. That's why his cultivation has improved so quickly.

But now that I have nothing to do, I can also flip through these cultivation classics, which can be regarded as checking and filling in the gaps and enriching this cultivation knowledge.

Hu Yan took the book and sat down at the stone table and flipped through it with interest.

There are eight volumes of inner and outer chapters of Baopuzi, the inner part 20 discusses the art of the immortal tuna Fu Seal, and the outer part 50 discusses the gains and losses of current affairs, whether the personnel are Zang or not, and the purpose of the word is distinguished, and there is a name. The book summarizes the theories of the immortals since the Wei and Jin dynasties, establishes the Taoist theory system of immortals, and inherits Wei Boyang's alchemy theory, which is the culmination of the alchemy of the Wei and Jin dynasties.

"Hug Puzi" is the most admired Jindan technique, and "Hug Puzi Inner Chapter" says: "Jindan is a thing, and the longer it is burned, the more wonderful the change will be." Gold into the fire, refining will not be extinguished, buried in it, immortal. Taking these two things can refine the human body, so it can make people immortal. ”

The so-called Jindan technique is the Huangbai Technique, that is, the Outer Dan Technique. For example, the Pavilion Soap Sect, Maoshan and even Qingyuan Palace all have certain attainments in foreign Danshu.

Although Hu Yan cultivated the Inner Dan, he knew that he was also thanks to the master's elixir to continue his life, and then he had to rely on the help of the Nine Turns Condensing Yuan Grass to have today's creation. Therefore, this inner Dan technique and the outer Dan technique complement each other. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many cultivators rushing to it for a top-grade elixir.

When I thought about it, I suddenly remembered that I still had three Tsukidan in my hand. Originally, Zhuang Bai gave him five, he gave Wuqiu and Ziling one, and there were three left. Although Hu Yan had successfully built the foundation, since Zhuang Bai said that this foundation building pill would also be of great help to improve his cultivation, he decided to take another one himself, and as for the remaining two, he was ready to honor them to his master after seeking the consent of Wuqiu and Ziling.

And "Hug Puzi" mentions that the mountains and forests are the places where the Taoists take refuge and combine medicines, and emphasized: "There is no Tao in the mountains and forests, but those who are Taoists must enter the mountains and forests, and they want to stay away from each other, and this is pure." ”

"Bao Puzi Inner Chapter, Volume 10, Ming Ben" also said: "It is an ancient Taoist priest who cooperates with the magic medicine, and he will enter the famous mountain, not only in the mountains, but also for this reason." ”

After reading the whole article, Hu Yan felt that he had benefited a lot. However, Hu Yan believes that the reason why practitioners choose to practice in famous mountains and rivers is not only to stay away from the noise and troubles of the world, but also to devote themselves to alchemy. Instead, the aura in this mountain and river is even stronger, and it is also of great benefit to the cultivation of the Inner Dan.

And "Hug Puzi Inner Chapter, Volume 4, Jindan" believes that returning to the mountains and forests is a very solemn and mysterious thing, and "the famous mountain is the place of medicine" is the main external condition for him to choose the alchemy place. He believed that religion was a sacred work, and that it was advisable to go to the famous mountains and stay away from the laity. For the people of the Tao, "it is not ethereal, extinct and secluded mountains and forests." "Emphasizing that people can't simply start from cultivating the arts, and the ambition of life can't just be to hide in the mountains and forests, if you want to truly cultivate to become an immortal, you must also make meritorious contributions, cultivate yourself, and govern the country and the world. He advocates attaining spiritual liberation and refining the physical ascension in real social life, so that he can not only help the world immediately, but also attain transcendent sanctification.

For example, he said: "The sergeant attained the way from the three armies, the sergeant attained the way from the city, and the corporal attained the way from the mountains and forests." He believes that cultivation can not only protect virtue and lead to longevity, but also rule the world and bring peace. Through cultivation, you can also gain immortality, and your body will not be harmed.

This coincides with Hu Yan's ambition, the reason why he stepped into the path of cultivation is not to gain a foothold in this troubled world, kill demons and slay demons, and save the common people?
