Chapter 21: Immortal Soldiers
After the tall and disdainful He Siqi left the dragon head residence, his steps were as light as a horse stepping on a flying swallow, and two or three flashes came to a house with a small courtyard.
The man rushed in as if he had entered his own house, and looked at the old man in the courtyard who was pranayama with his eyes closed and smiled without saying a word.
He Siqi picked up the wine gourd and sat cross-legged in a shady place in the courtyard, bent it in front of his eyes with one hand, looked up, fell to the ground, and muttered: "Late spring and early summer is a good time for the scorching sun." β
After saying this, the man glanced at it with his spare eyes, and saw that the old man did not speak, so he put it under his head and said with a smile: "Sir, can you tell me if Yu Zhong's bullshit boy went to Qianping County by you single-handedly, why don't you let him be the head wolf of the northern front, live a heroic life, at least if he dies, there are still people who know if he is dead, nest in a place of chicken feathers, be a petty official in Sesame County, and hook up with a bunch of farmers and village women every day, I am really not afraid of being polluted by my state of mind? When the time comes, the blood will become a jar of stagnant water, but it will be stinky and useless." β
The old man who slowly opened his eyes listened very quietly, and waited for the man to finish speaking before stroking his beard and smiling: "Yu Zhong's biggest shortcoming is that he can't hold his breath, it seems that his heart is exquisite, but a little thing can make him angry, in the final analysis, the road ahead is too smooth, he has never suffered a loss, and how can he know how not to suffer, just like a fisherman, how can he shoot the water at the bottom of the waves without drinking a few sips of water, and how can he reach out to catch a fish? β
After speaking, the old man raised his hand and pointed at the man and scolded with a smile: "I haven't wiped my own buttocks clean, and you have been in charge of other people's affairs on a whim every time, how about Master Confucius's apprentice." β
He Siqi, who was lying on his back under the tree, raised the gourd high, and the wine flowed out, like a handsome appearance of a dragon absorbing water.
Sword eyebrows and high nose, peach blossoms in his eyes, in terms of appearance, the man is really a little proud.
He put down the wine gourd and burped, and said slowly: "In terms of qualifications, it is really good, but sir, you also know that like our path, talent determines the final height, but the state of mind determines whether you can go to that height, maybe half luck, half support, if a few words of reprimand, you become suspicious and even sluggish, it can only mean that Kong Dasheng has seen the wrong person, and it has nothing to do with me." β
The old man smiled, "Who did you learn from this Laipi look?" β
The handsome man slowly closed his eyes, enjoying the peace at this time, but the next moment he suddenly opened his eyes and said with a hearty smile: "See the sages and think together, of course I learned from you." β
The old man smiled wryly and shook his head.
The white-clothed young man in the leading residence of the Fish Dragon Courtyard, after the man left, tried hard to write down another word, but it was like moving a boulder, his fingers kept trembling, and he had to give up in the end.
The gray-clothed boy sat on the wooden board and shook his feet back and forth, and said empathetically: "Jiang Huai, it's okay, the abbot used to say that cultivation is a little bit of kung fu, and you can't eat a fat man if you can't climb the mountains for a day, and besides, if you stood in front of me that day, a piece of white paper was like a boiler explosion, which was terrible." β
The little guy jumped down with the black whip on the back of his head, and it was the carp beating again, and the tiger coming down the mountain, with a flurry of fists, holding his stomach and panting: "Jiang Huai, you see if I'm powerful." β
The young man in white couldn't help laughing, suddenly lost his mind and sorrow, sat down on the wooden board in front of the door, nodded and said, "Amazing, amazing." β
The gray-clothed boy tilted his head, turned over and sat in front of the young man, and said in an old-fashioned manner: "Don't learn to flatter people at a young age, it's not good." β
Jiang Huai was puzzled: "Why do you say that?" β
The innocent boy focused on polishing the set of boxing techniques just now, saying that although he has the potential of a dragon and a tiger and the ability to open the mountain, it is still a lot worse than being very powerful.
Therefore, the boy asked again what is powerful.
The gray-clothed boy wiped his nose, held his head high and smiled: "Naturally, a punch is handed out, the color of the sky and the earth change, the mountains and rivers retreat, and everyone only has this punch in their eyes." β
But after a while, the little guy hung his head and said: "Okay, I'm bragging, in fact, I don't like boxing at all and I don't know what the discoloration of heaven and earth is, but I miss the abbot a little, if..."
The gray-clothed boy showed a yearning look in his eyes, the corners of his mouth drooled, and he paused and smiled: "If you can eat a bowl of sour and spicy stuff every day, it is naturally the best." β
The boy smiled and shook his head.
The gray-clothed boy, who failed in his trick, immediately began to roll around on the plank, aiming at it with his peripheral vision, and shouted in his mouth: "If you don't eat, you won't eat, and when I have earned enough money, I will eat what is in the pot and look at what is in the bowl." β
The boy corrected: "I was eating from the bowl and looking at the pot." β
The innocent head shook like a rattle, "No matter what, I have to eat every day anyway, and I won't get tired of it." β
Jiang Huai didn't say anything more, but took out the "Initial Explanation" and read the first few chapters carefully, before he closed the book leisurely and kept pondering.
The book is about how to use the majestic qi and the division of realms, including some descriptions of this part of the world.
It turns out that in addition to Chongyang, there are five countries such as Longwu and Xingshen, and Longwu and Xingshen, Chongyang are not separated from the sea, the three countries are connected, and the border wars are continuous all year round, and the situation is very dangerous.
If your own realm is as stated in the book, it should be in the second realm, although you can feel the aura of Haoran and use it initially, but the body is like a piece of turbid iron that has not been beaten, seamless on all sides, and there are many impurities.
Jiang Huai stretched out his hand to observe, and once again pulled the strands of golden silk threads in the air and did not write the symbol, but thought about dissolving them in his body.
But this action has just been half a moment, just into the two fingers, the hand stretched forward is like falling into the ice cave, there is a wind howling in the heart, and the fingertips are pierced by ten thousand needles.
A sharp pain from the inside out ran down the arm to the top of the head.
The boy's teeth rattled, and beads of sweat flowed from his forehead from time to time.
Two or three gray-clothed children who were lying on the eaves of the roof took a peek at each other, and they were startled, and hurriedly prepared to go down to take a look, but as soon as they landed, they heard a rapid exhalation.
Jiang Huai breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at his two fingers again, although it seemed to be the same as before, but there were golden lights at a distance of one centimeter from his fingertips.
The young man smiled lightly and said to himself: "It turns out that the meaning of "refining" from the hall to the hall is that the body needs to be condensed from the Haoran Qi as a whole to achieve the whole body without dirt, so that the Haoran Qi can be absorbed in the position of the lower abdomen dantian. β
Looking at the young man smirking and being a little puzzled, the gray-clothed boy hooked the underside of the plank with one foot and fell on his back, but he did not land on the ground but stayed in the air in a zigzag shape, just saw the young man's eyes, and asked: "Jiang Huai, you screamed for a while and smirked for a while, what's wrong?"
The young man smiled without saying a word, and pointed at the eyebrows of the gray-clothed boy, who sat directly on the ground with his hands shaking like a paddle, and said angrily: "Jiang Huai, I can't get up without two bowls of sour and spicy things." β
"Take it. β
The young man grinned, reached out and took out a tael of silver from his waist, and threw it into the child's arms, and then he didn't look at the latter's happy expression anymore, got up and walked into the courtyard, nothing special, just lightly wiped his eyes with two fingers, and suddenly the eyes were wrapped with gold wires, and the wisps of golden lines floated back and forth in the eyes.
The young man looked at the colorful pictures around him, turned his head to look at the little civet cat holding a piece or two of silver, smiled, and said to himself: "It turns out that this is the real meaning of a scholar, as long as you can master this kind of heroic qi, in the future, it may not be impossible to walk in the sky and move mountains and reclaim the sea." β
Jiang Huai stretched out his hands, his eyebrows furrowed, and muttered: "Mr. has actually reached the height of the Ten Realms, even the man Ding Qiu, who seems to be unreasonable and is actually very reasonable, has already reached the Eight Realms Boundless Realm, but a few days ago, there seemed to be some hardships in front of that old gentleman, what went was death, what did he know he couldn't do, what was hidden in the middle." β
"Is it the border dispute over the Dragon Warrior Kingdom, or is it some other reason?"
Just as the boy was pondering, a cold voice sounded from outside the door, it was still the handsome man who said, "You are very disappointed".
He Siqi carried a small gourd, walked over to this side leisurely, and sneered: "Why do you have a bitter face, saying two words to you, you are really sluggish?"
The man then glanced at the young man's finger, revealing a hint of appreciation, and said with an afterthought: "Oh, I forgot to introduce, my name is He Siqi, you can call me Mr. for the time being, and the main responsibility is to help you go further or higher." β
The man took a sip of wine and continued to smile: "Just now I just tested your state of mind, don't take it to heart, compared to my husband's methods, it seems to be a world of difference, if he is an old man here, it is estimated that he will throw you into the wilderness first, life and death are up to you, when you wait for your own epiphany, you will take a look." But I'm different, I can't achieve his old man's open-minded state of mind, everything will be told to you once, but only once. β
The man looked at the young man who was standing in a daze, and couldn't help but say angrily: "You still don't salute?!"
Jiang Huai was stunned for a moment, but before he could calm down, he was reprimanded by the man, but he was much more sober, and said, "I've seen Mr. He." β
He Siqi heard that a congratulatory word was added in front of Mr. for no reason, and pouted: "Don't be nervous, when you walk in the world, you will meet countless masters, such as those who harm you, and those ordinary people who are very good at something, they have taught you a lot of things invisibly, and I am just one of them." Although his skills are much worse than your Mr. Kong, it is more than enough to teach you. β
The young man bowed his hand again and said, "Please sir." β
The handsome-faced man nodded, sat down on the wooden board, crossed his fingers and said: "There are too many things, let's come one by one first, let's talk about the piece of peiyu on your waist first, it can be said to be a blessing, it can be said to be a magic weapon, after all, it is a very good object, its function is to let the characters you write or the Haoran Qi you can use indirectly get a boost, it is two layers high." β
Jiang Huai took off the piece of pure white peiyu that hung on his waist and was engraved with "Everything is inferior, only reading is high", looked at it, and replied: "I can feel its specialness, although I write very few times, but every time I use Haoran Qi, I can feel a warm current flowing from it to my body, which should be very valuable." β
He Siqi showed a look of envy in his eyes, and laughed at himself: "Even I am delusional, you should know that blessings like that are really rare, and you can't buy them at all." β
He waved his hand, not intending to get to the bottom of the matter, and continued: " You are now in the ascending realm, if you want to step into the realm of accepting qi, in addition to mastering more talismans, the more important thing is to temper the physique, from scratch, from one finger to the body, this is a torturous process, often some people are in the ascending hall to temper the physique for several years, but some people only need to spend a few months, take that Gu Baichuan as an example, from two to three, it seems that it only took less than three months, because people with average qualifications can only capture a few wisps of Haoran Qi when they step into the ascending realm, and the better ones are like small rivers, and those who were born in high places are like standing in the tide of a big river, refining their physique with this resource, why not talk about itοΌβ
He Siqi paused and said: "But all things pay attention to an equal cycle after all, since you are standing very high somewhere, the road to go must be much more difficult than others, since it is said that no matter whether the seedlings are pulled out and not promoted, it is better to say more, the Three Realms Qi Realm and the Four Realms of Nourishment Realm can actually be classified as one realm, and they are all for the preparation of the Five Realms of Literature and Courage." β
"After the three realms opened up the qi mansion in the dantian, and those old Taoist priests paid attention to the same Tibetan wind and water theory, focusing on accumulation and condensation, the more inferior qi fu is only a few zhang, and those who are covered in the first life are often more than a few hundred zhang, after the qi fu is full, you can choose a satisfactory object to put into the qi fu to condense, even if it is an ordinary iron sword, over time it will become a magic weapon that sharpens iron like mud, not to mention those earth-level magic weapons and immortal soldiers, of course, you can also directly condense the pill without nourishing things and stepping into the five realms, but because of this, there will be one less thing to be aroundγ β
Jiang Huai pondered and asked, "What is the price of the nourishment?"
He Siqi nodded and said, " Of course, the price is not only that you may suck all the Haoran Qi in your Qi Mansion clean, but also how much to condense in the future, until your mind is clear, such a thing happened before, there is a very average qualification of Ye Xiu happened to find a good flying sword, want to condense it, although it did win the name of a sword cultivation, but also stayed in the three realms for a lifetime, because it is too self-sufficient, the flying sword is the most difficult to subdue one of the nutrients, the higher the quality, the difficulty will also be multiplied, for us the best nourishment is pen, ink, paper and inkstone, perennial use, will naturally give birth to induction, the difficulty is much lowerγ β
Speaking of this, the man picked up his small gourd and shook it, and said with a smug smile: "Look, this is my nourishment vessel, don't look so small, it's just a trivial matter to hold a few rivers in it." β
Jiang Huai was surprised: "So powerful?"
The man lifted the small gourd that could have been filled with a few rivers but now it was a few jars of wine, raised his head and took a sip of wine, and quipped: "Although that Gu Baichuan has not stepped into the realm of literary courage, he has already cultivated a flying sword, and it is the master of the courtyard who personally went to the sword mountain of the Pingtian Sword Palace to ask for it, no matter what, the half-immortal soldier will definitely not be able to escape." β
Jiang Huai knew that Ding Qiu's rusty iron sword was also a half-immortal soldier, but he really didn't understand it, so he asked, "What is a half-immortal soldier." β
After the young man asked this, the handsome-faced man who was drinking on his back suddenly disappeared, and when he reappeared, he was already holding a silver iron sword in his hand.
He gently pinched it with his two fingers, and the iron sword broke from it.
He Siqi retracted the iron sword and said with a smile: "The lowest grade is the things made by these ordinary blacksmiths, there is nothing special, and the upper ones are forged by monks or Confucian scholars all year round with Haoran Qi to cultivate things, this is called the earth-level magic weapon, but it is divided into lower, middle, upper, superb, fourth, etc., all of which are not to be underestimated, strange and strange magical means." The most powerful is none other than those immortals who were born from heaven and earth, and naturally existed, such as the legendary stone seal condensed by tens of thousands of mountains, one seal pressed mountains and rivers, and two seals of the four seas, and then a certain fairy sword that changed the color of heaven and earth, and tens of thousands of rivers flowed backwards. β
The man took a sip of wine, waved his hand and said with a wry smile: "Of course, I haven't seen any of these things, I've just heard of them, as for the half-immortal soldiers, they are artificially created, spending countless heavenly and earthly treasures or some things that come into being, all of which have the ability to move mountains and seas, but there is a gap with the legendary immortal soldiers, so they are called half-immortal soldiers." β
Jiang Huai stretched out his waist, took out the piece of white jade and asked, "Then what grade is this?" β
He Siqi took a closer look at it, sighed and said: "The nourishing realm is not to say that you can only cultivate one thing, but it really consumes too much Haoran Qi, no one will choose to stay in the three realms all year round and contain a few items at the same time, but you don't want to but can't, this should be your husband's other thing to nourish in addition to the ring ruler, but it is much worse than that ring ruler, it is estimated to be a very good object in the ground level." β
Jiang Huai wanted to ask again, but the man had already stood up, waved his hand and said impatiently: "Okay, okay, you digest and digest it first, it's not good to eat too much." β
When the man walked to the courtyard gate, he paused, turned around and smiled: "Also, it's best not to go out before you have a solid foundation, those young men like tigers and wolves have entrusted me with the blessing, but they are all staring at you, don't be used as a stepping stone too early." β
The white-clothed young man who tied Peiyu back around his waist first bent down and saluted, and then said, "Then I'll avoid the limelight first, and then go out when the foundation is solid." β
The man was stunned when he heard this, thinking that a guy who dared to say that he would make that young man the second in ten thousand years might refute a few bold words, and he should not make a statement again, and he never wanted to admit it directly. β
I only heard the young man say again: "Scholars don't suffer immediate losses. β
The man walked out the door with a smile, his face still full of appreciation, and muttered something as he looked up to drink.
"You're not stupid. β
