The painting is still there.

Xu Mo seemed to have forgotten to breathe, staring at the painting without blinking, until he couldn't hold it back, he slowly exhaled turbidity, and subconsciously looked at the pen in his hand, it was still fine, not bald, and the ink marks on the paper showed no signs of fading and disappearing, so he played back the heart he was carrying slightly.

In fact, compared with the experience of the previous times, he is basically sure that they will not disappear again, you know, the first few times they started to self-destruct almost after the painting, how long has it been now? At least five minutes have to be there, and they will be destroyed soon!

However, he still stared at it, except for a faint tension, the rest was the switching between reality and the rapidly changing, all kinds of pictures that came in waves, those were all his past, there was a previous life, there was this world, but they were all like lights that kept flickering and flickering, whether pain or laughter, they were just floating in front of him, without causing him any superfluous emotions, and in the end, his gaze was still fixed on the painting in front of him.

Now it seems that the things in the mirage cannot appear in the real world in their original form, but if it can use its mind and god, whether it is so or not, you will know a few more times!

He was about to pack up his mind and paint again, but once again he felt the faint and subtle, cool rain, he looked up, yes, it was a sunny day, he touched his hair and clothes with his hands, they were all dry, stretched out the back of his hand, and there was no feeling of rain at all, and he also wanted to redraw again, to test his ideas, so he didn't care about it, put away the finished painting, laid out the paper and prepared to paint again.

When he stood calmly and was about to put down the pen, he once again felt the coolness of the slightest rain falling on his body, at this moment, his mind moved, perhaps it was the blessing of his soul, he began to take the initiative to visualize the black toad map, and finally slowly felt their existence more clearly!

What are they?

After only the shortest pause, he closed his eyes and entered the deepest level of visualization with all his heart, at this time, he seemed to merge with the black toad in the painting, incarnated into the black toad, and then, the world around him began to become different: in the darkness, the surrounding air became more distinct, there were fine dust, there were extremely fine water droplets condensed by water vapor, and there were clear or turbid air currents, they were twisted together, the wind and clouds were surging and floating, but in it, there were very few points of lightness, The little points of spiritual light float in them as if they were not affected by gravity, and are not disturbed or polluted in any way—

They landed on Xu Mo's body as he turned into a black toad, bringing him a cool sense of joy!

This feeling is like his body being cleaned from the deepest part of his body, making him light, and like rain moistening the dry earth, so that his body is moisturized;

Unfortunately, there are not many of them, and they are too light, just like a traveler in the desert who is short of water, thirsty and thirsty, but the water only wets the lower lip, and most of them disappear into water......

The more this was the case, the more thirsty he became, Xu Mo endured it bitterly, and for a moment, he felt a bright light flash in his mind, and suddenly thought of the cool feeling that those jade stones brought him, which was similar to the feeling they brought him......

Realizing this, he suddenly came to his senses.

But instead of going to look at the jade, or bringing a piece over to quench his "thirst", he ran back into the house and took out the original black toad diagram and looked at it carefully.

At this time, looking at it again, Xu Mo had a new understanding, those falling rain threads may not be rain, but the so-called "aura"!

Because there is no more information to refer to, this is just his speculation, but, as a inheritance of the practice map, there should be no superfluous things, and the capture action of the black toad sticking out his tongue may refer to the collection of aura!

Settle and be quiet, explore the aura between heaven and earth, and then pick up, which is also in line with the steps of cultivation!

Thinking of this, his heart pounded violently, and if this speculation was true, it was undoubtedly a new and broader beginning for him!

In order to confirm this, he once again allowed himself to enter the deepest level of visualization, incarnating as a black toad, because he was too excited, this time he entered a little slower, but once he entered the state, he once again "saw" those light points of light, and felt the coolness and moisturization when they passed through his body, just like just now, this should be right!

He also tried to learn the Black Toad Diagram to actively collect aura, but the first time he used it, it was too clumsy, and not only did it not succeed, but also destroyed his visualization state.

After coming out of the deep visualization, he did not rush to try again, but thought that it was the change that had occurred after drawing the "Black Toad Mirage Mountain Map", so he was ready to compare it with the original.

When he took the "Black Toad Mirage Mountain Map" and entered the house again, he suddenly smelled a pungent sour smell - he had been paying attention to hygiene, and he remembered clearly, there was no such smell in the house just now, so where did they come from?

Subconsciously looked at himself, only to feel that the clothes were extremely uncomfortable sticking to his body, and when he lowered his head slightly, he smelled a sour smell that was stronger than the house......

The words "washing the muscles and cutting the marrow" suddenly appeared in his mind, although it was a bit exaggerated, but at least it cleaned up his body at a deeper level, you must know that these dirty things that were discharged were in his body!

I remember that the amount of aura entering the body was very small, and it produced such a good effect, which increased his confidence in the future a lot.

The current appearance of the body is not suitable for anything, he had to put away the two pictures, and then rinse the body a few times, in the process, he took the jade to study a piece, and found that the energy in the jade is very similar to the aura between heaven and earth, but although their amount is large, it seems to be late, there is no natural aura of lightness, there is no activity in it, and even like stagnant water, to extract the aura from it needs to be cautious......

After taking a bath, he took the two pictures and compared them, and found that after adding the mirage, the black toad on the painting became more "vivid", as if the appearance of the mirage activated it and made it more compatible with him, otherwise he would not be able to comprehend the second layer or the real inheritance of exercises.

Next, he drew a few more "black toad mirage pictures", and it turned out that as long as the specific shape was not drawn, the painting would not collapse and self-destruct.

It's a pity that, judging from the quality of the paintings alone, none of these paintings surpassed the first one - because there was more content waiting for him to paint in the mirage map, so he was ready to hone his painting skills.

............

Unlike usual, this afternoon he felt that time passed very slowly, the reason was that he found himself very hungry, including several times to visualize the black toad diagram at a deep level and practice aura, but he was interrupted in a short time, also because of hunger, and in the end he didn't wait for the time to eat, so he ran to the front to eat.

Today, his meal has increased greatly, more than half of what he ate before!

In this regard, after Ma Changlu personally sent a large bowl of ginseng chicken soup, he couldn't help but say with relief: "A few days ago, the amount of food suddenly decreased significantly, and we were all very worried...... We all hope that you will eat and drink well every day and live a long life!"

His words should be sincere, of course, the existence of Xu Mo can ensure their superior life now, and the important point is that after being poached last time, he also strengthened the management of the team, and the usual various benefits, care and conversation in his free time, etc., have produced good results.

Of course, if the other party was emotional, it also warmed Xu Mo's heart, and he said: "Okay! I received everyone's wishes, you also have to pay attention to your body, if you have any difficulties, tell me, we are a family together, and I will not shirk if I can help!"

After eating, the sun was still quite high, because he ate too much, he deliberately increased the time for activity and digestion, and found that there was no discomfort, but he felt that his body was full of strength and unprecedented ease between his breathing, including the cultivation of the "Wood Chopping Knife Technique" and the "Dayue Knife Cultivation Technique" that he had no time to practice during the day, although the time was not long, but he felt that there was a more obvious progress, he couldn't help but think, after the aura cleansed the body, could it still increase the qualification of martial arts?

Nimbus!

He was a little anxious to enter the deep visualization and try to practice the art of picking again, but suddenly he had another thought: since he would not collapse without drawing a concrete shape, could he draw a little more?

Thinking of it, he laid out the paper, grinded, made a good composition in his heart, and drew the black toad picture very familiarly, and then painted the mirage, as soon as the first mountain was painted on the paper, the picture changed slightly, and it became more vivid, and the second mountain has also been memorized in his heart, and he looked at the picture a little, and sketched it out with a few strokes.

However, as soon as he picked up the pen, he felt that the picture was not "stable", and then the ink marks on the paper shook as if boiling, and the part of the mountain disappeared in confusion, and then there were ripple-like cracks, and the part of the black toad quickly turned into a black ......

Xu Mo looked at its changes strangely in his heart, how did he feel like there was an extra mountain, and the picture "couldn't bear" the weight of it?

He adjusted the composition a few more times, and the results were similar, which made him feel like he couldn't cry or laugh, seeing that the time was not early, he threw the pen on the table, ready to rest, but just about to go to bed, he suddenly had a new idea: since he can't add mountains, what kind of results will be produced by adding other things?

Soon he had an idea, to say that the most familiar is his own small courtyard, so he spread out the paper, slightly adjusted the position of the black toad and the mirage, and added his own small courtyard in between, and soon, a picture of the distant mountain and the small courtyard listening to the toad appeared on the paper.

Since coming to Yancheng, he practiced martial arts and carving in the small courtyard, and he couldn't be more familiar with it, and when it appeared on the painting, he even had a feeling of being there, as if he could see the stars in the sky as soon as he looked up.

As soon as Xu Mo raised his head, he really saw the sky full of stars!
