Chapter 4: The First Entry into the Immortal Gate (II)
After a stick of incense, a young man in his thirties came down the stairs. With a cyan scarf tied on his head and his hands behind his back, Shi Shiran came to the table and sat down. When he sat down, he shook the bell-shaped instrument in his hand. The three ringing bells were not loud, but the huge hall was clearly audible. Liu Yiwen's spirits perked up when he heard this, and he hurriedly concentrated on listening to the lecture.
The man's face was straight, and he cleared his throat and said, "Today I want to talk about the five elements of yin and yang. Tao begets one, one begets two, two begets three, and three begets all things. Everything in the world can be divided into two, which is yin and yang. All things can be divided into wood, fire, earth, metal, and water according to their nature. "Yin and Yang" and "Five Elements" complement each other, and the five elements must be combined with Yin and Yang. Yin and Yang, two opposite and opposite qi, are the source of all things in heaven and earth. Yin and yang are combined, and all things grow, turning into wind, clouds, thunder, and rain in the sky, mountains and rivers on the earth, east, west, south, north, and middle in the direction, and spring, summer, autumn, and winter in the climate..."
Liu Yiwen listened attentively, he had read some immortal cultivation classics with Mr. Huang before, and then listened to the sermons of these immortal masters.
In the next few days, he went to the school during the day to listen to the teachings, and at night he took out a book of basic exercises called "Five Elements Jue" to participate in enlightenment. This is what I received from Master Ruan when I was getting started. He also received more than a dozen basic books on cultivating immortals, including those that introduce the history of cultivating immortals, those that introduce the sects of cultivating immortals in the Great Chu Kingdom, those that introduce various spiritual weapons and pills, and the catalogues that introduce artifacts in the world of cultivating immortals...
The "Five Elements Technique" is a compulsory method for the Qi refining period, which introduces the method of communicating the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the use of different five elements spiritual power. Teach beginners to use meditation methods to absorb the aura of heaven and earth, enhance their own mana, and improve their cultivation. Accordingly, once this spell is practiced, the practitioner will be able to learn to manipulate some of the simplest spells. Such as fireballs, earth shields, healing, levitation, and the exorcism he longed for, etc...
And what made him most depressed was the Zhengang sword that his master gave him. Knowing that this sword is extraordinary, it's a pity that he doesn't even have the mana in the early stage of qi refining now, let alone drive it, even if he is allowed to move it. He held the sword in his hand for several nights in a row, looked at it, touched it and touched it, and almost hugged and kissed it a few times. After the original freshness, now the sword is hanging on the wall by him. When he was bored, he only took a few looks, fantasizing about the appearance of mana manless manipulation of this sword.
In this way, Liu Yiwen basically stayed in the academy during the day, and spent most of his time learning the theory of cultivating immortals, but some of his energy was spent on basic swordsmanship. When it comes to this basic swordsmanship, it's a bit like a secular martial art. However, listening to the explanation, this basic standing posture and sword posture are the basis for practicing superior kendo in the future, so Liu Yiwen really took it to heart, and he practiced meticulously without any laziness.
In the evening, he pondered the "Five Elements Formula", occasionally read other books to spice up, and his life was quite fulfilling. After three months of study, he had been able to roughly understand some common sense things in the world of cultivating immortals. The "Five Elements Formula" is almost enlightened, and he is thinking about trying to absorb the aura and enter the early stage of qi refining.
Through his study some time ago, he understood that there were indeed some shortcuts to improving the realm. For example, spiritual stones, pills, and the like, but exercise meditation is definitely the most basic and fundamental method. What's more, he is not the son of an immortal cultivator family or the object of the sect's hard work, so these extravagant methods can only be thought about for him. As for his master Shen Zhaodong, after all, people have also said that he is only a registered disciple. Only those who have achieved cultivation will be officially accepted into the door, so they can't be counted on.
On this day, Liu Yiwen did not go to the school to listen to the sermon. He was now sitting across from a young man in his twenties, asking him for something. This young man's surname is Chen, and he is a teacher in the "Heart Law Pavilion". In the first few days of every decade, he would be on duty here, specially to solve the doubts of the new spirit children such as Mojian Peak, and there were many teachings like him.
"Senior Brother Chen, I would like to ask where the spiritual energy is strongest in this Sword Grinding Peak?" he asked humbly.
"Oh, Senior Brother Liu is already about to start cultivating? I don't know how the Five Elements Technique has attained. "Senior Brother Chen was a little surprised, this junior brother in front of him has only been in the house for more than three months, and he is about to start his formal cultivation, and the speed is really not slow! Although this basic technique of cultivating immortals is not particularly difficult to understand, it is one of the few at such a young age.
"I've already realized seventy-seven-eighty-eight. He replied cautiously.
"Then I have to remind my junior brother, this cultivation matter can't be rushed, otherwise a mistake will accidentally go wrong and the meridians will be damaged, but the gains outweigh the losses!" Senior Brother Liu said carefully and kindly.
"Thank you for your concern, I will be cautious. I'll inquire about the location first, and then I'll go to cultivation when the time is right. ”
"Well, that's very good! There is a platform at the top of this Sword Grinding Peak, where the aura is the strongest place in this peak. In fact, this peak can be used everywhere to meditate and exercise, although the aura is not as good as the peak, but the difference is not too big. Especially those of you who have just entered the Dao, the amount of spiritual energy absorbed is not large, and the speed is not fast, so there is no need to deliberately pursue cultivation where spiritual energy is abundant. Even meditating in the residence is a good choice, after all, it is more convenient. However, there are still many spirit children who will come here to cultivate, and there is still some gain. Senior Brother Chen said slowly.
"I see! Thank you, senior brother!" Liu Yiwen's heart suddenly lit up and he had a realization. It's like saying that you only have a pot, and a bucket or a pool of water in front of you is enough for you. Unless you only have a glass of water in front of you, you'll have to consider a different place to get water. This is the difference in the realm, don't look at this Senior Brother Chen is only in the late realm, but his understanding of these basic knowledge is still much stronger than his own!
Then he asked the senior brother some other questions, and then took his leave. As he walked towards his residence, he pondered what Senior Brother Chen had just said. In the end, I decided to try it in the house first, and if it didn't work well, I would try it at the peak.
After carefully comprehending the "Five Elements Formula" in the room, he sat down cross-legged, and then followed the recipes in the book. Everything is difficult at the beginning, although I have silently practiced it many times in my heart, but the actual operation is not like that at all.
After repeated attempts, it took almost an hour. He finally managed to complete the exercise for a week. After meditating for so long, his legs felt a little numb and his blood was a little sluggish. He let go of his crossed legs, rubbed them with his hands, got up and walked back and forth in the room, thinking about the situation just now. After thinking about it for a while, he began to meditate again, and kept trying again and again.
Ten days later, he was still trying. Unlike the previous times, this time he finally reacted! A trace of white qi was slowly sucked into the meridians from the Baihui acupoint above his head, and went straight down the Caoxi River along the jade pillow, along the eight veins of the Qi Sutra, through the acupoints all over his body, and finally reached the jade pool. The wisp of white mist in the jade pond when it opened its soul slowly became thicker when it encountered this new white silk.
"It's finally done!" Liu Yiwen discovered this long-awaited change through internal vision, and was excited. Although it was still very jerky, it finally succeeded. Taking this first step, you have the key to open the floodgates. In the future, you will be able to slowly absorb the aura and improve the realm.
For the next month, he spent the day shuttling through the school and meditating at night. The white mist in the jade pool also became more and more dense and dense, which surprised him. Now that he has mastered the skills of movement, his mind can't help but come alive: Senior Brother Chen said that the top of the mountain is the place where the spiritual energy of this mountain is the strongest, and it must be more effective to cultivate there, so he made a decision in his heart.
Early the next morning, he came to the top of Mojian Peak. I saw that the top of the mountain was not particularly steep, but on the contrary, it was a large stone platform that was slightly flat. At this time, the sky had not yet dawned, but there were already six or seven figures sitting here on the stone platform to absorb the essence of heaven and earth. Liu Yiwen was shocked in his heart, he prided himself to be quite diligent, but now it seems that he is just ordinary.
He looked around for a moment, and his eyes lit up. Not far ahead, there is a large rock three or four feet square, which is a good place to meditate on a slightly higher ground and surrounded by open space. He didn't hesitate any longer, walked over briskly, and sat down here.
The aura here is really condensed, and the speed of absorption is a few points faster than that of the residence. He was slightly happy in his heart, and he didn't want to waste such a treasure land.
A stick of incense time passed, and suddenly Liu Yiwen felt that he was slapped vigorously on the shoulder a few times. He was concentrating on his work, when he was interrupted, and his heart was angry, and he opened his eyes to see what was going on.
I saw a boy of fourteen or fifteen years old glaring at him with anger in his face. After the two looked at each other for a while, the man said in a ruffian tone: "Boy, are you new here? Do you know that this is my location!"
"Isn't the location here come first and come first?" Liu Yiwen was stunned in his heart and asked cautiously.
Who knew that the young man laughed and said: "Come first and then come? What kind of place should you be, the dining room? Whoever has the big fist in the immortal cultivation world is the one who has the final say." After saying that, he pulled Liu Yiwen up from the stone and pushed him down.
Liu Yiwen was weak, and he was caught off guard, so he was thrown to the ground and gnawed on the mud. Although it didn't hurt the muscles and bones, it did feel a little embarrassed.
His heart burned with rage, and he hurriedly got up. glared at the young man in front of him, and his eyes were about to erupt with fire. Since he got started, he has only been busy with cultivation and has had little contact with people. Seeing that the sect was also harmonious and stable, I thought there would be such a bully.
At this time, the number of children who came here to practice gradually increased, and they were alarmed by the noise here, and they all looked this way. I only heard someone in the crowd say, "Hey, who is that kid, he dares to compete with Boss Wei for a seat, it's really impatient!"
When Boss Wei saw that Liu Yiwen was still glaring at him, he couldn't help but sneer: "What's the matter? Are you not convinced? Do you still want to beat me with the way you look now?"
His face was full of disdain, looking at Liu Yiwen's disgraced face, Boss Wei became even more proud: "It's not me who brags, just rely on you, I can beat you all over the ground with one hand!haha!"
His banter provoked a burst of laughter from the onlookers.
"The sect stipulates that you are not allowed to fight in private, aren't you afraid of law enforcement disciples?" he said indignantly.
"Just go and try it, see if I'm afraid!" Boss Wei snorted nonchalantly.
"Since you have the intention of complaining, then I will teach you a good lesson today, so that you can understand the truth of being a man. Then he jumped off the stone. With his left hand, he grabbed the placket of Liu Yiwen's chest, and his right hand clenched his fist and saw that it was about to hit him in the face.
At this time, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted, "Stop!"
Boss Wei paused and looked up. I saw a young man in a blue shirt, slightly dark-skinned and a somewhat burly figure, walking out of the crowd, followed by a girl of eleven or twelve years old. The young man glanced at Liu Yiwen and said lightly to Boss Wei: "Wei Song, forget it!"
Boss Wei seemed to have some scruples about the person in front of him. casually pushed: "Next time you get acquainted, don't you have such good luck every time!" After that, he returned to the big stone to meditate and practice.
Liu Yiwen's face was red, and he was angry. On the first day I came here, I suffered a big loss, and now my stomach is on fire.
At this time, the girl came over and said to Liu Yiwen, "Are you okay?"
Only then did he have time to look at the person who helped him, and saw the girl in front of him, with a goose egg face, watery eyebrows, a pair of big black eyes, and a small mouth. An elegant white dress adds a bit of dusty temperament, and there is a spirit between the eyebrows.
Liu Yiwen looked at it a few times and couldn't help but be a little stunned. He slowly stammered and said, "Thank you two for your help, I'm fine." ”
At this time, the girl handed over a handkerchief and said indignantly: "This Boss Wei likes to bully some new disciples, it's really hateful! If you cultivate, you can find some remote places, and you don't need to be angry with this guy." After speaking, he glanced at Boss Wei, who didn't seem to be afraid of this person.
He took the handkerchief and felt a faint scent of bluegrass coming to his nose, refreshing his heart. I wiped the stains on my face and said gratefully, "Thank you!"
"Let's go, let's hurry up and cultivate!" the blue-shirted young man began. Turning to him and nodding at him, he led the girl to another place. When the others saw this, they also dispersed and returned to their respective positions.
I'm afraid I have no intention of cultivating today, Liu Yifei stayed where he was. He walked down the mountain, came to the apse and wandered around distraughtly, taking the opportunity to inquire about Boss Wei with some disciples.
It turned out that this Wei Boss was a close relative of a certain condensate master of the Zangjian Peak of this sect. He relied on this relationship to be arrogant and domineering in the Chuan Gong Pavilion and bullied his fellow disciples. He had already started earlier, and now he also had the strength to be at the peak of the early stage of Qi refining. As long as he goes further, he can reach the middle stage, and then he will be accepted by that master and become a formal disciple, and the future is limitless!
Therefore, he did whatever he wanted here, and ordinary deacons and disciples turned a blind eye to what he did. No wonder this person was not afraid of Liu Yifei and complained to the law enforcement disciples afterwards.
Hearing this, he couldn't help but look a little ugly. I was humiliated by Boss Wei just now, and I also had a sense of revenge under my anger. I also thought about complaining to Senior Brother Wen to see if I could stand up for myself. Now that he thinks about it calmly, I'm afraid this matter is not as easy as he imagined. Not to mention the condensate stage master, even if the senior brother helped him out of this breath this time, what about the future? I'm afraid I will have to face more revenge from this person.
He couldn't help but think of Mr. Huang's admonition: "The law of the jungle is the same everywhere." Although he is unwilling, he has no choice but to give up his lack of strength.
He silently thought in his heart, "It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years", and he worked harder in cultivation.
