Chapter 8: The Book of the Four Hours
After experiencing the Spirit Stone Incident, Xie Wenxin lived in a simple place and cultivated with peace of mind, but she usually didn't go out much. This bamboo house is so big, and on weekdays, I can also hear which of the same door has refined the sense of qi, and which senior brother has been promoted to build the foundation and enter the inner door.
The two people who blackmailed her that day heard Uncle Zhou say that they had been in the upper stage of qi refining for nine years, and they had made a mistake again, and they had already been punished to the Prison Peak to do miscellaneous labor, and they moved away the next day.
Uncle Zhou smiled and said to her, just cultivate well.
Naturally, it is necessary to cultivate well, and Xie Wenxin is too lazy to care about the intrigues behind these. Her soul was damaged, and she didn't want to be distracted by these juniors in the Qi refining period.
Most of the disciples who entered the mountain gate with her had cultivated to the early stage of qi refining. It is worthy of being a disciple of Cangwu Sect, and it is not in vain that there is enough aura here. If it was in the Twelve Cities, I am afraid that there would only be a few people in the early stage of Qi refining, which shows the importance of the Cave Heaven Blessed Land in cultivation.
Spells can be practiced at the beginning of qi refining, so there are disciples who come to practice spells every day near the bamboo forest. From time to time on the road, there is a trick to carry water, or a trick to fire, and the disciples who have just learned the spell are tired of it.
Xie Wenxin occasionally sat in front of the window and watched them practice spells. Through them, it is also as if I see a distant self. Clumsy use of mana, the joy of the first successful spell. Seeing this, she felt a little calmer.
The restlessness of her spirit seems to have become more difficult to restrain lately, and there is always an urge to destroy everything, but she forcibly suppresses it.
Within the dantian, nine runes floated in it, opposing and interconnected. Like the Five Elements Shengke, but more complex, it makes her control over the Qi of Creation more and more disjointed.
Just yesterday, Xie Wenxin had finished drawing the nine runes of the Qi of Creation, and the four new ones were Jiushui, Yongshui, Huangshui, and Shishui.
She gave up understanding the meaning of the nine sigils for the time being. Putting it aside, it was time to prepare to condense the Dao Seal.
At this point, she no longer needed to cultivate. The qi of dantian's creation has changed from being weak and formless at the beginning to faintly flowing. As long as the sigil is combined into a creation array, it will be condensed into a Dao seal. However, Xie Wenxin did not act rashly, because on the day of forming the Dao Seed, the test of this mystic technique really began, and that was ......
Demons of the Heart.
Ordinary law cultivation can only attract Heavenly Demons during the Tribulation Period, and this secret is not known for some reason, but every promotion will attract extraterritorial Heavenly Demons. If the crosser can't break the mental barrier, he will die at best, or he will be taken away by the demons in his heart, and he will die in a lifetime. It is not difficult to count the demons in the Qi refining period. But her realm is the Yuan Infant Stage, and her heart nature is not comparable to the Qi refining period. Her heart demon tribulation is not trivial, and it needs to be considered in the long run.
Therefore, although condensing the Dao seed could solve the danger of her soul, she still did not act rashly.
The spiritual power of the Nine Doubts on his body slowly moistened the meridians, and Xie Wenxin silently recited the Soul Clearing Mantra over and over again. It wasn't until late at night that she breathed a sigh of relief.
There are demons in the heart, and there is the damage of the soul in the retreat, she is now like walking on a tightrope, and the slightest carelessness will break her bones.
Xie Wenxin got up and moved his bones. After meditating for a day, she was only in the Qi refining period, and even if she had spiritual power, she was a mortal, and she would feel uncomfortable.
was about to rest, but Xie Wenxin was suddenly stunned.
The aura of creation seems to be ...... Stir. In the distance, something is attracting it. She raised her eyes and looked in the direction she perceived, which was deep in the bamboo forest.
Xie Wenxin pondered for a while and decided to go and have a look.
......
The moonlight is quiet, and the bamboo forest is windy. Xie Wenxin walked on a small road, with the soft light of the wick flowers on both sides, and the buzzing sound of bamboo bees, but there was also a bit of artistic conception.
Although Xie Wenxin decided to come out to check, he still carefully observed the surroundings. It was late at night, and most of the disciples were practicing spells during the day, and at this time, they had already exhausted their spiritual power and rested. She is the only one in the huge bamboo forest, which is also trouble-free.
But I didn't want to, I followed the perception of the qi of creation and went farther and farther, and after walking for half an hour, I didn't get to the place, and I was about to walk out of the bamboo forest.
I couldn't help but think of Senior Sister Liu's warning when I was at the entrance, don't go out of the bamboo forest. However, now that it is about the Qi of Creation, Xie Wenxin hesitated and decided to take a look.
Summoned a small amount of spiritual power, and cast an illusion to hide the figure. Her cultivation is not high, and the illusion techniques she casts during the Qi refining period can be seen through any foundation building period. But with Lingjue, it's different, with Lingjue's blessing, it is difficult to find her even in her infancy.
After casting the illusion, Xie Wenxin felt a little calmer, and cautiously walked out of the bamboo forest.
Outside this bamboo forest is a water source, the sound of the water is loud, quiet and lonely. Strange to say, this spring seems to come out of thin air, with no roots and no source. The spring water is crystal clear, not to mention swimming fish, not even a root of aquatic plants.
What the Qi of Creation senses, is at the bottom of the water.
Xie Wenxin frowned, this water was strange, and she was a little hesitant to let her go into the water. Who knows what's in this water, this is the outer gate of Cangwu, and there may be great power sitting here.
Xie Wenxin stood for a while, walked to the water's edge and squatted, stretched out his hand and tentatively paddled through the water.
It's cool.
The cold touch made Xie Wenxin retract his hand. But at the same time, the nine runes spun at the same time, faintly hot, conveying an eager emotion to her.
The underwater thing...... To get ......
Xie Wenxin is at war with heaven and man in his heart. Reincarnated as a human being, she has calculated the future in advance along the way, and has never encountered such a dilemma as now. And the loss of control of the Qi of Creation caused her soul to be shocked after calming down all night.
After thinking about it again and again, Xie Wenxin gritted his teeth and decided to go into the water!
If she retreats this time, her mental damage will be even greater. Besides, the qi of creation was so urgent, and what was underwater could be beneficial to her cultivation.
Xie Wen's heart jumped into the water and cast a trick to avoid water. However, as soon as the trick of avoiding water is applied, it becomes invisible in the water. The spell was useless, and Xie Wenxin was like a mortal in the water, and he couldn't help but sink in his heart.
This water can dissolve spiritual power.
The spiritual power is losing rapidly, Xie Wen calculated the speed of the loss, but fortunately, the water is not deep, about four or five feet. Vigilantly swam down, and soon reached the bottom of the water.
It was dark underwater, and not a single light came through. Xie Wenxin groped with his senses and got something underwater.
Something to start, she didn't hesitate to swim up.
Get out of here as soon as possible.
I wonder if this thing has a Lord. However, there is no enchantment here, there is no rune, and there is no guardian spirit beast in the third, probably ownerless. However, we should also be careful to leave as soon as possible to avoid trouble.
Swimming ashore, Xie Wenxin gasped for breath. This water is so weird, it can dissolve mana. If I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely study it.
Shake off the water on his body, the spiritual power has been exhausted, and this water can't be steamed with spells. When he looked at the thing in his hand and took it into his hand, the restlessness of the Nine Dao Law Seals calmed down.
It's a book.
It looks ordinary, just like the miscellaneous books that can be seen everywhere in the mortal bookstore. It's a little more shabby than the basic spell I got from Gewuzhai a few days ago. However, this is by no means an ordinary book.
Because when he took it out of the water that could dissolve the spell, it didn't get wet, as if it had been taken off the shelf. The cover is a bit old, and I don't know what ink is written on it.
Book of Four Hours.
It's another thing I haven't heard of, and Xie Wenxin is used to it. She was only a primordial infant before, and she was barely a master in the Heavenly Desolate Realm, but when she arrived in this Spirit Void Realm, she was no more ordinary. Besides, she has only been in the Tao for a few hundred years, and most of her time has been spent in the square inch mound, so she actually doesn't know a lot of secrets.
Putting the book in his arms, Xie Wenxin hurriedly left the water source and walked towards the bamboo forest.
The feeling of being wet was very uncomfortable, and my hair was sticking to my face. At this time, there is no spiritual power, and the qi of creation is not under her control, so it will be terrible if it is discovered.
After walking for a while, Xie Wenxin's face became strange.
She heard the sound of a flute. Intermittent and close. Looking in the direction of the sound, it came from the bamboo forest. Xie Wenxin groaned and walked in the direction of the flute.
The flute was so close, but she didn't feel the other party's cultivation, obviously a senior master. She doesn't have the spiritual power to perform illusions now, and the main role of the spirit is to shield cause and effect, and it is already difficult to hide her body with it, let alone in the absence of spiritual power.
She was in a qi refining period, and she had nothing to hide under the divine consciousness of Jin Dan or Yuan Ying's predecessors.
However, the illusion worked when she came, and I don't know how much this senior knew. Xie Wenxin shook the water while walking, and he couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive in his heart. Secretly thinking about the words, he gradually came to the source of the sound.
This is a wooden house.
It was surrounded by a fence, and the house was much simpler than the bamboo house where the outer disciples lived, and it was built of ordinary peach wood. There are a few peach trees outside the house, and it is strange that there are such lush peach trees in this bamboo forest. The peach tree bears huge peaches and bends its branches.
Under the peach tree stood a woman, black-haired and white-clothed.
But she was clearly dressed in men's clothing. Strange to say, this man's clothes did not appear to be incompatible with her, as if he was born to do so. She was about twenty years old, and her black hair was half-tied behind her head with a piece of green satin.
She stopped the flute, looked at Xie Wenxin, and said gently: "Little girl, are you lost?"
The voice was clear, but Xie Wenxin was a little at a loss when he saw her eyes.
It seems to be back in the square inch mound, the day I first saw the nameless immortal monarch. This kind of gaze, like a star sinking into the sea, made her feel extremely small.
Seeing that she was stunned, the woman chuckled and walked over: "A little girl, why did you make yourself so embarrassed." She stretched out her slender index finger in her right hand and pointed it between Xie Wenxin's eyebrows. Xie Wenxin only felt that his body was warm, and the water vapor on his body disappeared without a trace.
Xie Wenxin came back to her senses at this time, her mind was blank, but she couldn't say the words she had just thought of, and said for a long time: "Junior Xie Wenxin...... Excuse me......"
"It doesn't matter. The woman was a little stunned, glanced at the flute in her hand, arranged the tassels on the flute, and sighed lightly: "Anyway, no one comes here from me." ”
Xie Wenxin watched her movements, and the ghost asked in a terrible way: "Why do you live here alone, senior?"
The woman glanced at her, but she didn't know what she thought, her eyes were far away, and her tone was a little nostalgic: "I'm here, waiting for someone." ”
