Chapter 25 Heart-to-heart
Senior Brother Xinshou has a lot of potential to chatter, and seeing that Xiao Qingfeng listened carefully, he was also excited at the moment: "Senior brother, do you know that our Yuanyang Sect, not to mention being famous in the Eastern Regions, even if the entire Dongsheng Divine Continent is a large sect that can be counted. Senior brother, do you know who our Yuanyang Sect Patriarch is?"
"Who is it?" It was rare to hear about the things in the cultivation world, and Xiao Qingfeng naturally would not let it go. It's just that I have an inexplicable sense of familiarity with the name Dongsheng Shenzhou in my heart.
"Our Yuanyang Patriarch is the famous Lingbao Grand Master, one of the twelve golden immortals of the Sect Exposition. Speaking of this, Xin Shou suddenly paused, reacted a little, and said: "Well, this name may not be familiar to the junior brother, but the other name junior brother must know." That is Manjushri Bodhisattva, Manjushri Bodhisattva and our patriarch are brothers. ”
"Twelve Golden Immortals, Lingbao Grand Master, Manjushri Bodhisattva?"
Xiao Qing muttered in his mouth, his eyes were a little straight, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably. Suddenly, he remembered the name Dongsheng Divine Continent, and even remembered a series of things about Dongsheng Divine Continent and the Twelve Golden Immortals. There is an indescribable feeling in my heart, is the world I live in the same as that world?
"Eh!" Looking at Xiao Qingfeng's appearance, Xinshou patted his forehead and said apologetically: "Senior brother, don't blame, senior brother forgot that junior brother has just started, and I'm afraid he doesn't know Manjushri Bodhisattva yet." Let's settle the junior brother first, and then talk to the junior brother in detail when we have time. ”
Manjushri has a great reputation in the Dongsheng Divine Continent. However, there are very few temples within the boundaries of the Yuanyang sect, and many people and even some monks have never heard of the great name of Manjushri.
"Huh?" Xiao Qingfeng was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted, "Oh, good! good!"
"Senior brother told you, our Qifeng Mountain is a good place, not only is it full of spiritual energy and suitable for cultivation, but it is also located in a quiet place and has a beautiful environment. If you can fly, standing in the sky and looking at the entire Qifeng Mountain, that is the real shock. Although he changed the topic, Senior Brother Xinshou still showed a chattering look.
"Can you imagine? The hundreds of peaks below are all of various shapes, some like mountains, some like water, some like dragons, some like tigers, some like eagles, some like snakes. Some of them can't even be imagined, this is the origin of Qifeng Mountain. And in the entire Qifeng Mountain, there are only four of us masters and apprentices, and when you break through to the foundation building realm, you must fly to the sky to take a look, and you will know that the words of the senior brother today are true. ”
"Yes! Yes!" Xiao Qingfeng replied, "When the junior brother can fly, he must fly up to have a look." ”
As they walked, they didn't know how long it had been, and they came to a cave on the mountainside. The entrance to the cave is not big, and it is difficult to see clearly from the inside. However, this cave is forcibly opened up in the cliff, and with this alone, it has a unique flavor.
"Senior brother, this is your cave mansion. Bringing Xiao Qingfeng here, Xinshou pointed to the cave and said.
Xiao Qingfeng looked left and right, and found that there was only this one cave house around, and said with some doubts: "Senior brother, where are your cave mansions and master's cave mansions?"
"Ahh Xinshou raised his head and pointed to the top, "Over there is Senior Brother's Cave Mansion, and then there is Senior Brother's Cave Mansion, and the top one is Master's Cave Mansion." ”
Xiao Qingfeng raised his eyes and looked at it, and suddenly felt a little speechless.
I didn't pay attention to it just now, but now when I look closely, I find that this is a very large cliff, and when I look up, it is all white and mist, and I can't see the end at all. With his eyes, he could vaguely see a cave entrance, and that cave was at least dozens of feet away from his cave.
This was not what shocked him, but what shocked him was that there was a circle of light outside the entrance of the cave. The aperture is blue-yellow, giving people a very mysterious feeling, and an inexplicable mentality suddenly rises in my heart.
"What, isn't it shocking?" Seeing Xiao Qingfeng like this, Xinshou nodded with satisfaction, and then preached: "I think Senior Brother was also very shocked when he first saw this scene. In fact, the blue-yellow aperture is just a manifestation of the formation, and this formation is not very useful, it can only prevent some wild birds from accidentally breaking in. Don't worry, when the master and his old man are free, he will also arrange one for you. ”
"This is the formation, so magical?" Xiao Qingfeng looked at the cyan and yellow aperture, excited in his heart. Today is definitely the most exciting and unsettling day in his life.
"What kind of magic is this?" Xin Shou pursed his lips, his slightly chubby face looked a little cute, "Senior brother has never seen anything more magical, okay, you can stay by yourself for a while, senior brother will go hunting for you and come back." ”
After speaking, without waiting for Xiao Qingfeng's reaction, Xin Shou walked away directly with the sword, leaving Xiao Qingfeng silent. He found that his master and brother seemed to be more acute, and they often left after speaking, without waiting for others to answer.
Shaking his head speechlessly, Xiao Qingfeng looked left and right, raised his feet and stepped into the cave. It is not clear from the outside, and after entering the cave door, you can see the environment inside the cave clearly.
Entering the cave door, it is a stone chamber that sits in the north and faces south, this stone chamber is not small, it is nearly three zhang long, nearly two zhang wide, and more than one zhang high. On the whole, it is pleasing to the eye, and it feels like you are in the world of carving. The interior layout is exquisite, and due north is an elaborate stone platform carved with exquisite and unusual patterns, on which there are several rolls of bamboo slips.
Behind the stone platform is a stone wall carved with lotus flowers, lotus flowers, lifelike, just look at the kind of walking into the world of lotus. A stone door was opened on each side of the stone wall. The stone gate is carved with a gatekeeper god, which is mighty and extraordinary.
The inside of the stone gate can be seen at a glance. These are two other stone chambers, one of which has a stone bed in it, while the other has only a futon made of unknown materials. Compared to the previous stone chamber, it is really a simple anomaly.
In front of the stone platform are several steps downward, facing the cave door. There is a small stone lion on each side of the steps, the stone lion is like a living creature, if ordinary mortals see it, they will definitely tremble in fright.
In front of them are two weapon racks filled with stone weapons. The two are opposite each other, with a distance of nearly a foot between them. There are a lot of stone weapons on the shelf, swords, guns, swords, halberds, axes, hooks, forks, and a lot of eighteen kinds of weapons in the world.
On the stone wall behind the two weapon racks, there are various fierce beasts and beasts carved, extremely fierce, and at the same time, there is a row of oil lamps hanging on the stone wall.
The stone wall on the top of the head is much simpler, but I see a big Taoist character engraved on it with an ancient seal.
"This is my cave?" Xiao Qingfeng looked at the scene in front of him and muttered, compared to his cave in Songbai Mountain, this is the real cave.
"Senior brother, junior brother!"
Just when Xiao Qingfeng wanted to walk in, the voice of Xinshou sounded in his ears.
"Senior brother, I'm here. Hearing the voice, Xiao Qingfeng turned around and went out, shouting at the shouting heartguard, "Senior brother is very fast. ”
"That's it, why has Senior Brother also lived here for decades, and he can't catch it when he hunts?" "Senior Brother, what about the Cave Mansion?" Xin Shou said with a smile as he grabbed a fat hare in his hand.
"Exquisite! I have never seen such a delicate cave mansion. Xiao Qingfeng praised.
"That is, this cave was specially built by my senior brother, who was a stonemason before he apprenticed, focusing on carving, and his craftsmanship was not bad. When Xinshou said this, he lifted the hare that was still struggling in his hand and said, "Let's not talk about that, come on, come on, let's get this little guy done first." ”
followed Xinshou to a mountain spring, and saw that Xinshou was very familiar with peeling and removing dirt, Xiao Qingfeng teased: "Senior brother, do you often break the vows?"
"Breaking the ring?" Xin Shou stopped what he was doing, a little stunned, and only chuckled after a moment: "Senior brother, you don't think that we have broken the ring by eating this hare, right?"
"Isn't it?" This time it was Xiao Qingfeng's turn to be stunned.
"Eh!" Xinshou was a little speechless and explained: "Senior brother, can you not use the standards of secular Taoists to standard us next time." You'll be laughed at by like-minded people if you go out like this. ”
Seeing Xiao Qingfeng's ignorant look, Xinshou explained: "We monks, in order to break through to the foundation building realm, we have a lot less appetite, and basically we only eat one meal for ten days and a half months. If you cultivate to the realm of the master and his old man, you don't need to eat at all. ”
"And junior brother, a person in the Qi refining realm like you is the one who really needs to eat. The Qi Refining Realm is also called the Refining and Refining Qi Realm, which is mainly to refine the essence and produce a sense of qi, and when the whole body is full of Qi and can be condensed into bundles, you can break through the dantian and enter the foundation building realm. If you don't eat meat, you don't know how long you will have to wait before you can enter the Foundation Building Realm. ”
"So, isn't it better for me to eat as much as possible?" Xiao Qingfeng was a little confused, which was completely different from what he had always had. Although he has not eaten less meat in recent years, his main energy is still meditation and qi refining.
"Of course not!" Xin Shou simply put down the work in his hand and decided to explain to his junior brother, "According to the theory, the more you eat, the more qi you feel, and the more you can condense into bundles." But in fact, this is not the case, the Qi Refining Realm is just laying the foundation. The refining essence in the Qi Refining Realm does not actually refer to these meats, but to the spiritual energy between heaven and earth. ”
"When you run the exercises and cultivate, the aura between heaven and earth will enter your body. But at this time, if you don't open up the dantian, you can't store or even refine these spiritual qi at all. ”
"At this time, you need your own blood to be full, that is, to be vigorous. Driven by your qi and blood, refine a little spiritual qi into essence. If you don't have enough qi and blood, and you don't have enough aura, your cultivation will naturally be slow. But the aura that enters the body is certain, and when the aura is fully used, it is useless for you to be full of qi and blood. ”
Listening to Xinshou's detailed explanation, Xiao Qingfeng combined his daily cultivation and found that this statement was very reasonable, nodded and said, "So that's the case, thank you Senior Brother for your advice!"
"It's okay, Master, his old man asked Senior Brother to guide your cultivation, and Senior Brother naturally won't slack off. ”
"Senior brother, take the liberty of asking, how did you apprentice?" Sitting next to Xinshou, holding a roasted hare in his hand, Xiao Qingfeng asked while eating.
"Apprentice?" Xin Shou swallowed the rabbit meat in his mouth and licked his lips, "That was decades ago, when I was young, and I was about the same as you. However, although he is young, his skills are very good, and he is not modest to say that he is definitely the top in our county. ”
"And then?"
"Then one day a Taoist priest came to me to work, and when I went out, I never came back. Xinshou said it very easily, but Xiao Qingfeng could feel his helplessness and resentment, and even a trace of expectation.
