Chapter 40: Heart-to-Heart
Feng Shaoyang originally thought that Xue'er would say that she was whimsical, but she didn't expect that she would happily congratulate herself, so she was a little confused, and asked suspiciously: "I just said the same, who would be willing to use his hard cultivation true qi for nothing and let me control it, why do you congratulate me instead?"
Xue'er Zhengse said: "Although I don't know what the ultimate power of your method is, it should be feasible according to the principle, but the two people who need to do it must have the same mind and cooperate tacitly." ”
Indeed, as Cher said, not only that, but these two people also need absolute trust in each other, and they can only do it. ”
Xue'er whispered to herself, "Heart-to-heart...... Well, that's the truth. Then he smiled and said, "Your method alludes to the cause and effect and principle of the magic circle, and I think it will be called the 'Heart-to-Heart Array'." ”
He thought for a moment and said, "Heart-to-heart, although this name is a bit more straightforward, but it is also more appropriate, I haven't thought of a name yet, so let's use it first, and then change it later." ”
Who knew that Xue'er was extremely unhappy, insisted on her opinion, and said: "If you don't want to change it, just use this name, and you can't change it in the future!"
"This ...... Feng Shaoyang looked at Xue'er with suspicion, with a hint of pride, and thought to himself: Who else in this world can be in touch with his heart and mind and cultivate this kind of magic circle together? I'm afraid only Xue'er.
Why does Cher care so much about the name, and what is she implying by that?
He hesitated again, and said slowly: "I haven't thought about how to cultivate this, and how to advance and retreat in the magic circle. ”
She smiled and said, "Don't think about it, I'll practice with you first, use it if you don't fit, change it if you don't fit, just think about it slowly." ”
He looked at Xue'er smiling and smiling, and suddenly, he understood something.
So, Feng Shaoyang and Xue'er began to practice the heart-to-heart formation together.
Xue'er cast the five-element magic circle first, and a larger five-pointed star map immediately appeared on the stone ground.
After the two of them stood in their respective star positions, Xue'er concentrated for a moment, then spread her right hand flatly, and cast a breath of clear qi from her palm, and then condensed into a fist-sized water mass.
Then, Xue'er stretched her right hand forward slightly, and the water mass flew lightly towards Feng Shaoyang, and finally stopped between the two, suspended steadily in mid-air.
Feng Shaoyang hurriedly used the method of imperial objects to stimulate his mind, intending to control the water mass and make it rotate. However, the mass of water did not move. After a while, the water mass turned into clear air and disappeared.
Xue'er did it again, and condensed the true qi into a water mass. He tried to manipulate it with the power of his mind, but also unsuccessfully. This was repeated several times, and it failed. Feng Shaoyang didn't want Xue'er to waste his true qi in vain, so he temporarily stopped practicing together.
Xue'er analyzed the reason and thought that her cultivation had dropped to the limit, and she couldn't maintain her true qi condensing into a water mass for a long time, which also made Feng Shaoyang not have enough time to practice using his mind to manipulate the water mass.
Therefore, the joint practice of this heart-to-heart array needs to wait until Xue'er's true qi recovers before it can continue.
It was getting dark, and the day passed quickly. Feng Shaoyang also brought some junior Bigu Dan, and now because his cultivation was gradually increasing, he took one pill, and then rested on the innermost grass in the Qingxin Cave.
Xue'er began to meditate, breathe and breathe, and slowly recover her cultivation.
After the night, when Feng Shaoyang woke up in the morning, he saw that Xue'er had finished her meditation and was standing at the entrance of the cave, staring into the distance.
Because the cave is located in the middle of the mountain wall, although the sky is already bright, the sunrise has not yet been seen at this time, which is about half an hour later than the top of the cliff.
He slowly walked up to Cher, looked at her and smiled, the two of them were silent, and then they faced east together, waiting for the sunrise.
After a night of meditation, although Xue'er had recovered some true qi cultivation, she could not return to the top of the mountain with Feng Shaoyang. Therefore, in the morning, the two practiced the piano and flute ensemble, and after noon, they practiced the heart-to-heart formation.
Similarly, Feng Shaoyang still failed to successfully control the water mass, in order not to consume Xue'er's true qi too much, after practicing a few times, he temporarily stopped.
Another day passed, Xue'er had already recovered some of her cultivation, and she still played the piano and flute with Feng Shaoyang in the morning, and when she practiced the heart-to-heart formation in the afternoon, she actually succeeded once, and Feng Shaoyang touched the water mass with the power of his mind.
Although the water mass only trembled slightly, the two of them analyzed it together and knew the mystery. As the name suggests, this heart-to-heart array does require the perception of the minds of both sides.
Because the water mass was condensed by Xue'er's true qi application, it was not a real physical object, so it could only be maintained for a relatively short time. After the formation of the water mass, Xue'er must weaken the control of the water mass in time, and Feng Shaoyang must immediately use the power of his mind to control it, the time will be early because the water mass is still under Xue'er's complete control, he can't catch it, and the time is late, it will also be because Xue'er's control of the water mass is insufficient, so that the water mass will immediately disappear and turn into clear air.
After getting this result, Feng Shaoyang was very happy, which shows that his innovation is not impossible to achieve, but the conditions required are very harsh.
But what is even happier is Xue'er, which shows that although Feng Shaoyang can't practice qi, there can be another way to cultivate, that is, he can practice this kind of formation with himself, and more importantly, he is afraid that he will never be able to leave him again in this life, when she thinks of this layer, her face can't help but fly again, and she sighs secretly.
But Feng Shaoyang didn't know the change in her mind, thinking that she was a little tired, so he greeted her with concern, but it made her even more shy, revealing a delicate daughter's posture, which only made him feel a lot of emotion.
Since she knew that this formation could be cultivated, then everything would have to wait for Xue'er's cultivation to recover, so she decided to send Feng Shaoyang back to the Taoist Temple first, and she practiced in retreat in Qingxin Cave for seven consecutive days.
Feng Shaoyang couldn't bear to let Xue'er retreat alone, so he wanted to stay and take care of her.
Xue'er smiled and said that if he stayed, he would be distracted and unable to cultivate quietly, so he had to give up.
When she returned to the top of the cliff, Xue'er told Feng Shaoyang about his cultivation in the next few days. Then, the two reluctantly parted ways and returned separately.
After Xue'er returned to the Qingxin Cave, she closed the entrance of the cave with a gravel condensation barrier, flowed out a few breathable holes, and then cast a magic circle to seal it, and then began the arduous retreat cultivation.
Qingxu Dao Chang was pleasantly surprised when he saw Feng Shaoyang coming back safely, completely ignoring his sleepless past few days, waiting hard to worry, and trying his best to persuade him not to worry too much about the soul seal.
Feng Shaoyang couldn't help but have mixed feelings when he saw that Qingxu Dao's temples were dyed with silver frost because of himself, and suddenly fell to his knees and apologized repeatedly. Qingxu Daoist hurriedly helped him up, but his eyes were already blurred with tears, and the two talked for a while before they gradually calmed down.
Feng Shaoyang said that Xue'er was going to retreat and cultivate for seven consecutive days. Qingxu Daoist nodded when he heard this, and also said that Feng Shaoyang's important study matters in the past few days, refining pills.
