Chapter 40: The Legendary Spiritual Vein
Ding Ning slowly walked out of the scripture scroll cave, opened the food box placed at the door of the stone hall, took out his own share, and then sat on the stone bench at the entrance of the hall, slowly eating the vegetables that were still warm, and began to sort out today's harvest in his mind.
The "Cutting Three Corpses Without Self Natal Yuan Nerves" disguised as an ordinary exercise is definitely a very domineering exercise, not only can it have a better perception than ordinary exercises, but the true yuan cultivated in the future will definitely be very violent.
If the true element of ordinary exercises is like a big wave in a river, then the true element of this exercise should be like a big wave that contains an uncontrollable evil beast.
As for the Wildfire Sword Sutra, it is definitely a sword scripture that has been seriously underestimated by the cultivators of Changling over the years.
The true meaning of this sword scripture is not that the wildfire burns the plain, but that the wildfire burns inexhaustibly, and the spring breeze blows and grows.
Because the sword momentum is too complicated, few people practice this sword scripture in the first place, which leads to even fewer people being able to discover the true sword intent of this sword scripture.
For Ding Ning, however, complexity is not a problem.
This was the first step in restarting his practice, and he was lucky enough to walk well.
A strange night breeze blew and ruffled his hair.
He raised his head and saw Li Daoji, who had a cold face, jumping down from nowhere, shaking the rope bridge for a while.
"Follow me. ”
It was extremely simple, and without even waiting for Ding Ning to say anything, Li Daoji turned around and motioned for Ding Ning to follow.
"Uncle Li Daoji. Ding Ning looked at the meal with a bitter face: "I haven't finished eating yet." ”
"Some things are far more important than eating. ”
Li Daoji's sword hilt flashed a faint red light in the dark night, like a lantern in front of him, his footsteps did not stop at all, only a cold voice floated in the night fog.
Ding Ning shook his head helplessly, grabbed a rice ball, and then quickly followed.
The glowing hilt swayed in the darkness and walked upward.
In the night mist, there was a narrow rope bridge that was not there during the day, extending into a cliff crevice not far below the highest temple.
Between the cracks in this mountain, which is usually hidden by white clouds, there is a strange flat land.
On the flat ground, there are even three identical cottages.
In front of the grass house, on some muddy flat ground, a few vegetable fields have even been reclaimed, and they are planted with some mountain leeks.
"This is where you will live in the future. ”
Feeling that Ding Ning, who was following behind him, also crossed the narrow rope bridge and stepped on the ground, Li Daoji, who had already walked in front of the three grass houses, turned his body slightly, nodded to the grass house on the far left, and said to Ding Ning.
"You can also practice here on weekdays, you don't have to listen to lectures like other students, if you have any questions in the process of practicing, you can ask me or Zhang Yi directly, but no one will send three meals here, only to the stone hall of Jingshi Cave. ”
After thinking about it, Li Daoji added.
You don't need to listen to the class like other students, you can go directly to Li Daoji... This falls on the ears of other students, and they will definitely be shocked and envious to the extent that they cannot be repeated, because this is equivalent to directly obtaining the true inheritance of Li Daoji, and the current Li Daoji is recognized as the number one master of the Aries Cave except for the cave master who has not revealed his cultivation for many years.
However, hearing Li Daoji's words, Ding Ning didn't have any expression of surprise, he just said seriously and softly: "Uncle Li Daoji, I usually want to live and go home." ”
Li Daoji's two thin eyebrows instantly raised, he turned around, did not refuse or agree, just looked at Ding Ning coldly, and said, "Go in and take a look." ”
Ding Ning felt some strangeness in Li Daoji's expression and tone, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he didn't say anything more, and walked towards the grass house pointed out by Li Daoji.
The roof of the grass house is covered with ordinary thatch pasted with some yellow mud, and the door panel is also the most ordinary wooden door, but when Ding Ning's fingers have not touched the wooden door, his body is imperceptible and slightly shocked.
There is the sound of water in this cottage.
He took a slow breath and reached out to push open the unlocked wooden door.
The layout in the cottage is extremely simple, only a bed by the window, with the simplest bedding.
In front of the bed, however, is a straw futon used for meditation.
The sound of gurgling water comes from the bottom of the futon.
Feeling that this grass house was full of strange fresh aura, Ding Ning had already vaguely guessed the result, his heart was beating faster than usual, he took a deep breath again, stepped forward, and removed the thick grass futon.
He saw, in the middle of the rocks just below his futon, a fist-sized spring.
The spring water fluctuates like a boil, slowly releasing wisps of milky white aura from time to time.
Every wisp of aura is like a small white sheep's horn.
This is the legendary spiritual vein.
In the world of cultivators thousands of years ago, most of the wars that occurred originated from the snatching of spiritual veins, and now, whether it is the Great Qin Dynasty or the surrounding dynasties, the number of spiritual veins has been extremely rare.
For those sects that have spiritual veins, only the most valued disciples can use the spiritual veins to practice.
And this spiritual vein, and the spiritual vein of the Aries Cave that he heard about, seemed to be too far away.
Ding Ning turned around, and he looked at Li Daoji, hoping to get some answers.
Looking at his somewhat puzzled gaze, Li Daoji was mistaken and said expressionlessly, "This is the legendary spiritual vein, the spiritual energy that comes out of the spiritual vein, along with the cultivator's exhalation into the practitioner's body, will play a great tonic role, just like some pills, can increase the progress of cultivation, but the most important thing is that these spiritual qi themselves are the purest products of heaven and earth, without any impurities, and will not have bad side effects like some pills." ”
"I know. Ding Ning looked at him and shook his head, "That's not what I meant... I know that the spiritual vein is a very powerful thing, but is it true that only true disciples who have passed many tests are qualified to use the spiritual vein to cultivate? Otherwise, what if I become a rebel and deceive my teacher and destroy my ancestors in the future?"
Hearing his words, a cold mocking look appeared on the corner of Li Daoji's mouth, "The Aries Cave is gone, where can you go backwards?"
This sounds like a broken jar, but at this time, it sounds full of uninhibited domineering and courage.
Ding Ning smiled bitterly, looked at the small spiritual vein and the grass futon that could absorb the spiritual energy, and asked, "This is the spiritual vein... But why does this spiritual vein seem to be so different from the legendary spiritual vein, why is it so small?"
Li Daoji's face froze, and he didn't reply for a while.
"Uncle Li Daoji. ”
Ding Ning was also silent for a moment, then looked at him more seriously, and asked softly: "I heard that our Aries Cave was merged into the Qingteng Sword Academy because we offended the queen, how did we offend her in the Aries Cave?"
"Where do you hear such words? Li Daoji's face suddenly appeared, and a sharp murderous aura flashed in his eyes, "If you want to live longer, it's better not to mention it at all." ”
Ding Ning didn't feel afraid, he calmly looked at Li Daoji's murderous eyes, and muttered softly: "It's not because I offended her, even if the Aries Cave with a spiritual vein doesn't produce any powerful cultivators, how can it be possible to give the Qingteng Sword Academy that level of cultivation ground." Even Wang Taixu knows that you have offended her, but he doesn't know how to offend, otherwise I wouldn't have to ask you at all, as for whether you want to live a long life... I didn't live long. ”
Originally, Li Daoji's eyes became more and more aggressive, but when he heard his last sentence, Li Daoji frowned, but he suddenly felt that there was some truth in his words.
The murderous aura in his eyes began to dissipate.
"You don't live long, but I want to live a few more years when I can live, so I haven't said anything, and what you hear must be an illusion. ”
He said in a cold and slow voice: "She wants to plant a spiritual lotus in the spiritual spring of our Baiyang Cave, and the fruits of the spiritual lotus can be used to refine some very useful realm-breaking pills. In fact, she just wanted to see our attitude, because she always felt that there was something wrong with our attitude in the Aries Cave. After all, although the spiritual veins are scarce, with her ability, they are not bad. It's just that our Uncle Du Qingjiao and the cave master are not happy to fulfill it... Because that kind of spiritual lotus will absorb a large amount of spiritual energy from the spiritual vein, resulting in the depletion of the spiritual vein. Therefore, before she sensed that she had such intentions, Master Du Qingjiao had already divided our spiritual veins into three small strands. This is a kind of self-destruction, but every spiritual vein is not enough to maintain the growth of that spiritual lotus. ”
Ding Ning lost his mind slightly.
He didn't expect that the white-haired old man who had already left the Aries Cave had made such a choice.
"This is not an attitude that would rather be broken than broken, and we in Aries Cave don't want to offend anyone. ”
Li Daoji looked at the small pitiful spiritual vein, and slowly narrowed his eyes, "We only do what we think is just and right." Although the spiritual vein is small, it can at least stay, and now it can at least send some use to our disciples in the Aries Cave. ”
"I want to go home. Ding Ning nodded, and then said this seriously.
Li Daoji's hand subconsciously rested on the hilt of his sword, and almost directly pulled out his sword to sharpen it, he couldn't believe that since he knew that there was a spiritual vein in this place and heard so many things, he didn't say anything else at this time, and directly told him to go home.
"I know you're very fast, but do you think it's better to practice in a place like Wutongluo than to sit on this spiritual vein?" he said in a cold voice as his chest rose and fell violently, holding back his emotions.
Ding Ning looked at him very seriously and innocently, and said, "I know, but I can practice here during the day." I'll sleep better when I go back at night. ”
Li Daoji naturally didn't know what he really thought in his heart, and looking at Ding Ning with a serious face, he turned around in annoyance and brushed his sleeves away.
If you don't object, you acquiesce, Ding Ning laughed happily, and shouted at his back: "Then you have to prepare a carriage for me." ”
......
When Li Daoji had the urge to draw his sword again, in the scripture cave, Nangong Caishu had already finished reading "The Theory of Qitian", and was reading the second book of "Notes of the Master of Bashan Jiaotang", and the more she looked at it, the paler her face became.
The owners of these two essays must not be particularly powerful cultivators, and the notes are very messy, and many places are even just some speculations and temporary insights in practice, but most of the records are descriptions of the vitality of heaven and earth.
And most importantly, the owners of these two notebooks are very humble in their attitudes towards the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi, and they are very similar.
The master of the "Treatise on the Enlightenment of Heaven" compares himself to an empty bottle like a prayer from the heavens, and the process of cultivation is like this empty bottle, in a sincere prayer, the heavens can give him some heaven and earth vitality to merge into this bottle.
"Bashan Jiaotang Master's Notes" said that when he was feeling the vitality of heaven and earth, he was experiencing rain, and he happened to see the vast world outside, and countless rainwater flowed down from the surrounding heaven and earth and gathered into his own pond.
Compared with the vast world around him, the pond in his yard, including himself, was very small.
The water of the pond comes from heaven and earth, not from it.
Looking at the same thoughts revealed in these two completely different essays, Nangong Caishu's heart became more and more shocked.
She began to feel more and more that she and her father might be wrong about the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi.
It's not that the perception is insufficient, it's not that the analysis of the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi is not precise and thorough, but the attitude is too strong from the beginning.
She wanted to forcibly pull the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi into her body, but she was very small to the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi.
So... Only by acknowledging their own insignificance, only by opening their bodies and making the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi interested in this fresh vessel, will they enter tentatively?
Ten thousand trickles into water... In Nangong Caishu's mind, a pond on a rainy night appeared.
Countless droplets of water fall from heaven and earth, fall on the grass by the pond, on the plantain leaves by the pond, and then merge into small streams of water, which slowly flow into the pond that does not have the ability to directly absorb the water.
Her heart began to beat violently, and her eyes lit up like stars.
