Bai Cheng is missing the distance, and there are people in the distance who are also missing Bai Cheng.

The light moon hangs in the sky, appearing and disappearing behind the dark clouds, like a lover's heart, elusive.

Xiao Wan sat alone on the stone pier, holding her knees with both hands, biting her lip gently, looking at the moon in the sky in a daze, her face was happy for a while, sad for a while, and she didn't know what she was thinking in her heart.

Suddenly, a meteor streaked across the sky.

She hurriedly closed her eyes, folded her hands, and prayed softly: "I hope Brother Baicheng has a safe journey and all the best." ”

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and she got up and came to the back of the courtyard gate, and asked through the door, "Who?"

An old voice came from outside the door: "The old road passes here, and there is really nowhere to stay, and I want to beg for water." ”

Xiao Wan thought for a moment, pulled the deadbolt of the door, and opened the courtyard door.

Outside the door was a white-haired old man, who said he was old, but in fact he was similar to a beggar, wearing a patched robe, two tattered straw sandals, and his hair and beard were twisted into strands.

Xiao Wan saw that Lao Dao was pitiful, so she hurriedly let Lao Dao go to the courtyard, went into the house to make a pot of hot tea, went to the kitchen to cut a plate of side dishes, heated two steamed buns, and brought them to the stone table together.

Lao Dao seemed to be extremely hungry, grabbed the steamed buns, devoured them, and after a while, he ate them all, and drank a pot of hot tea, before patting his belly and saying: "Lao Dao has not eaten a full meal for many years." ”

Xiao Wan chuckled lightly and said, "If you don't have enough to eat, I'll give you a hot spot again." ”

Lao Dao shook his head and said, "I've eaten too much." ”

Xiao Wan rolled her eyes and asked, "Your old man came here to join relatives or friends, why are you still strolling on the street so late?" ”

Lao Dao smiled: "Lao Dao is here to visit an old man. ”

Xiao Wan sighed and asked, "Then you haven't found it yet?"

Lao Dao shook his head, stood up, shook his sleeve robe again, bowed down, and said, "Xiaodao Sun Lingxiu greets Taiyin Xingjun." ”

Xiao Wan screamed, helpless, and stood in the courtyard.

There was a "clang", and the door of the hall opened.

Cui Boyuan kicked open the door, came to the courtyard in a few steps, pointed at the old Taoist nose and scolded: "You old bastard don't even inquire about who Lao Tzu is, you dare to deceive my house." ”

Lao Dao was stunned, but did not answer.

Cui Boyuan was stunned when he saw Lao Dao, and his momentum was even greater: "Do you know that Lao Tzu is the altar master of the Nine Immortals Temple? You are also a Taoist priest in size, you came to Qingyang Mansion to mingle, you didn't come to ask me to say goodbye, you actually deceived my family, do you know what happened to the last one who lied to Lao Tzu?"

Lao Dao asked curiously, "What's the end?"

Cui Boyuan scolded: "Does Lu Jianshan know? The hall master of Xuangui Hall, the master of the Five Bucket Rice Dao, dares to deceive my sister, now the grass on the grave is three feet high, do you know that it is powerful?"

Lao Dao thought for a while and said: "The old Dao of Wudou Mi Dao knows that this Lu Jianshan and Xuangui Hall, Lao Dao has indeed never heard of it. ”

Cui Boyuan shook his head, his face was full of rotten wood and an uncarvable expression: "You haven't heard of this, you haven't heard of that, what kind of Taoist priest are you doing." ”

Lao Dao said honestly: "Lao Dao didn't want to be a Taoist priest, but the family was full of Taoist priests, and he had no choice but to be a Taoist priest." ”

Cui Boyuan was even more angry: "It turns out that your family relies on this to eat and drink." ”

Xiao Wan saw that Cui Boyuan was really scolding, so she pulled his shirt and said, "Second brother, this old man really has nothing to eat, so you can say a few words." ”

Cui Boyuan shook his head, turned his head to Lao Dao, and said, "I've been scolding for a long time, why haven't you left?"

Only then did Xiao Wan know that the second brother was scolding the old way.

Lao Dao didn't know if he was too pedantic, or he was very thick-skinned, so he stood motionless and said, "Lao Dao really has nowhere to go, can I spend the night?"

Cui Boyuan was so angry that he stretched out his hand to enter, but was stopped by Xiaowan.

Xiao Wan persuaded Cui Boyuan to go back to the house, turned around and said to Lao Dao: "There is still one spare room at home, but the two elders in the family have already slept, and please keep the old man quiet, don't wake them up." ”

Lao Dao hurriedly gave up his hand and walked to the backyard with Xiaowan.

Bai Cheng woke up from sleep, it was already three poles in the morning, and he and Lin Su drank until dawn last night before falling asleep.

It was not early, Bai Cheng got up to wash up, changed into clean clothes, and went to the opposite side to find Lin Suhuan, but saw that he was sleeping soundly, shook his head and returned to the room.

After returning to the room, Bai Cheng sat down cross-legged, his eyes slightly closed, his breath and concentration, and slowly sank into the world of his mind.

As the mind sank, a glass world appeared, crystal clear, brilliance flowing, and extremely bright!

In this glass world, there is a purple carp shaking its head and tail, playing and playing, it seems to be extremely proud, this carp is his martial arts mind.

With Bai Cheng's mental traction, the purple carp was like an arm and fingers, swinging freely, much easier to control than the lightning at the beginning.

The only fly in the ointment is that in the glass world, those few thick cracks still exist, lying across the world, looking shocking.

Bai Cheng sighed, silently recited the mantra of "Breaking the Jade and Returning to the Yuan Jue" into the subtle realm, and began his first cultivation after being promoted to the subtlety.

After a moment, Bai Cheng opened his eyes with a wry smile.

According to the description of the "Breaking the Jade and Returning to the Yuan Jue" exercise, after being promoted to the subtle realm, the physical body can feel the vitality between heaven and earth, and under the nourishment of the vitality, the qi and blood will become stronger and stronger, and the muscles and bones will be stronger, and finally reach the realm of transcending mortals.

The more vigorous the qi and blood, the stronger the mind, and under the stimulation of the strong qi and blood, all kinds of dark thoughts in the mind will continue to grow and grow, and the thoughts of birth will also become stronger.

After a cultivator obliterates such thoughts through exercises, the more nutrients he obtains, the faster the growth of the mental world.

Because of the rift in the mental world, Bai Cheng now has some special circumstances, he now has no problem feeling the vitality in the flesh, there is no problem with the vitality nourishing the qi and blood, and there is no problem with the idea of stimulating the qi and blood, until the exercise wears out the thought.

The problem lies in the last step, the little golden light produced after the wear-out, that is, the nutrients that nourish the mental world, did not merge into the mental world, but escaped from the cracks in the mental world and merged between heaven and earth.

In other words, it was impossible for Bai Cheng to improve his mental cultivation by cultivating the exercises, unless he directly absorbed the Nian Stone and obtained a large amount of nutrients in a short period of time like he did last time. In this way, most of the nutrients do not have time to escape before they can be absorbed by him.

Knowing this, Bai Cheng couldn't help but sigh, it seems that if he wants to improve his mental cultivation in the future, he will either want to obtain the Nian Stone, or he will have to fight the idea of the Northern Buddhism.

Fortunately in the midst of misfortune, although he was unable to improve his mental cultivation, he had no problem operating the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi. It's just that half of the absorbed vitality will be fused into the flesh, and the other half will be fused into the sword qi that Fang Yin gave him.

He used to feel that the sword qi had absorbed too much, but after fighting with the purple-robed big man and Liu Qingshan, he knew that this sword qi was so strong, far beyond his imagination, it was really a great opportunity to obtain this sword qi and continuously enhance it.

After resting for a while, Bai Cheng stopped breaking the jade and returning to the original recipe, and transported the "Thunder Puhua All Things Life and Death Sutra".

This set of Dao methods does not directly improve the cultivation of the mind world, but tempers the purity of the power of the mind, and he is also bored, so he wants to use this set of exercises to give it a try.

After a try, Bai Cheng was overjoyed, although the mental world had not changed, but the martial arts mind had been significantly strengthened, and after only one or two hours of operation, the purple carp had increased by a point, although it was only a little, but it made Bai Cheng excited.

Bai Cheng set a goal, from today onwards, he will temper the power of the mind with the "Thunder Universalization of All Things Life and Death Sutra", absorb the vitality of heaven and earth with the method of breaking the jade and returning to the yuan, and refine the body to enhance the sword qi.

As for the Dao techniques and martial arts such as the Five Thunder Heavenly Heart Rectification Method, the Thirteen Styles of Breaking Jade, and the Flying Dragon Cloud Exploration Hand, they are mainly used and do not need to be placed in the main position for the time being. (To be continued.) )
