For the stall vendors, what they hate most is that God will rain down without saying a word, and the vendors who are not prepared in the slightest are so angry that they still resign themselves to quickly packing up the goods on the stalls.

The originally lively Changchang Street gradually turned off the lights in the rain, except for two, three, three or three small shops with canopies and two faint fires, the noisy people are gone.

The shops on the street are all hidden in the shadow of the torrential rain and clouds, and the rain and night make people sleepy.

In the tea shop, the shopkeeper yawned lazily on the counter with his elbows, his palms supported his cheeks, and the corners of his eyes were a little shiny under the urging of sleepiness.

In fact, the reason for his depression was not only the mosquito bites, but the real culprit was the guest in the hall. The shopkeeper went back and forth to help him change the new tea, and he counted that the tea in the man's cup had been cold three times.

But people gave money, and he couldn't give an eviction order, although it rained heavily in the sky, but it was not yet time to close down.

The shopkeeper was bored, and brought him a new tea for the fourth time, replacing the cold one.

"I'm tired. ”

After the young man who looked like a scholar thanked the shopkeeper, he still didn't mean to pick up the teacup, he quietly looked at the bubbles and hot steam of the tea in the teacup, not knowing what he was thinking.

The shopkeeper had nothing to do, so he put down the tea tray and sat down beside the young man.

"I came from Dongtu, I came to visit the old people in the city, and I didn't want to encounter heavy rain on the way, so I could only go to your shop to take shelter from the wind and rain. The young man smiled slightly.

“... Dongtu ..... must have a deep friendship with the guest officer, so that the guest official can come from thousands of miles to visit here. The shopkeeper was secretly surprised, he ran a tea shop, and he could see all kinds of travelers every day, including some guests from afar, over the years, he had also heard a lot of strange things, this east land is 108,000 miles away from Nanyu, and the scholar next to him who looks weak has crossed such a distant area, and he must not be an extraordinary person.

"It's not that I have to visit at this time, but for the sake of my mother's heart, I need to ask him to borrow something. ”

The shopkeeper nodded and walked straight away, the tea soup in front of the young man was moist, revealing the subtle cracks of the old age under the cup.

The fire in the liquor shop was faintly lit, reflecting the cool light of the rain.

"Come from afar, why don't you come to Nanting for a while?"

The tea in the teacup trembled and rippled for no reason, the young man's ears moved slightly, and a hoarse voice sounded in his ears, he frowned, stretched out his hand and rubbed the wall of the cup, the turquoise porcelain lining his fingertips white.

The coolness of late autumn came quickly, and the shopkeeper shivered to drive away the cold, and he turned back to look at the young man, thinking that the tea should have lost its heat again.

"Shall I change another cup of tea for the guest officer?"

The young man smiled softly.

"No need, thank you. ”

He raised his head sideways and looked out of the shop, the rain flowed down the tiles by the eaves, and the dark rainy night since ancient times was the background of the soldiers, which was really unpleasant.

"So, sir, it will be a harassment in the afterlife. ”

The way of cultivation is to seize heaven and earth to create nature, and all sentient beings, who can enter the path of cultivation, are only a drop in the ocean.

Ordinary people can't understand the realm of cultivation, which is the same as flying insects can't understand the soaring of the falcon, one is still in the low-lying land to seek, the other is born destined to sway for nine days, practice is not hard work and hard work can achieve results, it is more like a naked person climbing a steep cliff, a little careless, will die and disappear into the loess.

Those who are fortunate enough to embark on the path of cultivation have one thing in common, and that is that they can all perceive the existence of "qi".

However, what is "qi"?

Ordinary people spend their lives in mediocrity, and the short ones are only forty or fifty years, and even more so, they die before they open their eyes when they come to the world; the longest recorded in the history of the long-lived people is no more than one hundred and two, but they are all already old and old, and their internal organs are failing, and they can live to this point, and they are not far from stepping into the grave with half a foot, and people have a virtual age, and the first year begins to be counted from the beginning of the mother's womb, until the day when the day of the death, the soul returns to heaven and earth, and the body will let out its last breath.

And that breath is the "innate clear qi" that has nourished the human body for decades.

The formation of innate pure qi is based on the yin and yang in the evolution of all things, and there is an ancient saying that "yin and yang, the way of heaven and earth, the outline of all things, the parents of change, and the origin of life and death". At the end of the day, the spirit and the spirit have no qi to maintain, who can escape the constraints of life and death?

The way of cultivation, to be simplified, is to cultivate this innate breath, which is the best gift that this heaven and earth bestows on living beings, so those who can grasp the opportunity and well-being and sense the pure qi have been separated from all sentient beings.

Being able to perceive the innate pure qi, this is only the most basic threshold of the cultivation path, when you have an understanding of the control method of this "qi", and after you are proficient in operation, it is the first realm of cultivation - the entrance.

The entrance is also called the twelve floors, the ancestors used the solar terms of the four seasons, the entrance is divided into four small realms - spring hair Chen, summer Fan Xiu, autumn Rongping, winter closed Tibet.

Spring hair Chen, which means to bring forth the new, heaven and earth are natural, all are full of vitality, all things grow; Xia Fan Xiu, the essence reaches the peak, the qi of heaven and earth intersects, the qi is unobstructed, through the nine orifices, the five organs, the six intestines, the twelve sections; the autumn is flat, the qi is calm and convergent, the qi veins are constructed, and the Zhou Tian is penetrated; the winter is closed, the vitality is lurking, all things are hidden, the qi in the body is strictly guarded without leakage, and the bones are cut and the marrow is washed.

Each small realm is a triple building, the number of double six, in the way of cultivation, it is the meaning of the twelve hexagrams.

If you can cut the bones and wash the marrow, you will at least reach the cultivation of the top ten floors, at this time, the qi and blood in the body are vigorous, the innate clear qi is full, and the filth in the grains and grains that you eat on weekdays cannot be contaminated in the slightest.

Gu An naturally knew the changes that his cultivation would bring to his body, and he also knew very well what kind of consequences would be brought to cultivators if he lost essence and blood, but he still didn't hesitate for a moment, in order to break through the Nine Palaces of the Stars, he made a move to seal the blood seal and induce qi.

After the essence blood was devoured by the ring head knife in his hand, and the sword technique surged, he could clearly feel that the qi in his body was rapidly draining, and the qi veins that maintained Zhou Tian's operation were on the verge of collapse.

Since he chose to break the formation by killing, then he couldn't stop when he started, if this indomitable sword momentum was terminated, not to mention whether he could resist the formation damage of the Nine Palace Formation, just the backlash of the blood seal and qi was not something that his current physical condition could bear.

Gu An was still wielding a long knife and spewing knife intent, but his eyes under the willow eyebrows were closed.

In Gu An's mind, he could see some white mist being confined in transparent passages surging in all directions, and several huge red blood clusters with colorful points of light were flickering rapidly, and the muscles and bones like jade were crystal clear.

That's the practitioner's inner gaze at the entrance.

Those red blood masses are his internal organs, the transparent channels are the qi veins built in the body, and the white mist is the innate clear qi under the guidance.

But the situation at this moment is obviously not optimistic, and Gu An, who closed his eyes, couldn't help but lock his brows when he looked into his body.

He didn't expect the situation to be so bad. The qi veins in the body are like broken oil pipes escaping clear qi, the light spots on the violently beating internal organs are shattering at a speed visible to the naked eye, the uncontrollable innate clear qi is raging everywhere in the body, and the muscles and bones that have been tempered and strong are beginning to crack under the uncontrolled cyclone.

Time passed slowly, the innate clear qi in the qi veins became weaker and weaker, the light spots on the five internal organs had long been shattered, but the collapse of the qi veins did not stop, and Gu An'an was in danger.

This was an unexpected accident for Gu An.

He withdrew from his inner vision, opened his eyes, the sense of oppression in this space became more and more tight, he looked at Liang Fat, who had already been frightened, and his heart was settled, and he immediately reached out and took out an object in the inner lining, which was a strip-shaped broken ink jade pendant, which seemed rough but simple and depressing.

Gu An held the ink-colored jade pillar tightly with his left hand, and withdrew the knife with his right hand, he pressed the bottom of the black jade on the surface of the knife, and the patterns on the knife body seemed to have awakened, as if something was about to rush out!

"A heavy disarmament. ”

The ink jade attached to the blade of the knife was cut through the pattern by Gu An like a grinding iron stone, making a sonorous sound, and then an illusory ink-colored long knife slowly separated from the ancient long knife and suspended in the air tremblingly.

Time is of the essence at this point. Seeing this, Gu An held the handle of this illusory long knife in one hand, and casually pulled a knife flower in his hand, and pointed at the ground obliquely with both knives.

The blue-clothed young man rose up, the long black and white knife waved like a swift wind, and the sword light was blooming in the annihilation, stirring up smoke and dust.

A loud bang rang out, and the tremors in the corridor stopped, and all the flames on the torches were extinguished, except for the faint light of a little spark.

Gu An supported his body with a single knife and a pestle, his face was pale, dense beads of sweat covered his face, his chest rose and fell violently, and the hand holding the knife trembled uncontrollably.

He suddenly felt a fishy sweetness in his throat, and his internal organs suddenly burned, and his muscles and bones burned like flames, and the sharp pain made his eyes suddenly black.

"Why did you break the mirror at this time...," he said with a wry smile.

In the dark corridor, there was pain between the young man's eyebrows, but the gloomy black jade hanging in front of his chest was slightly hot.
