Chapter 005: Spirit Mouse
In the city of Rongchang, the Lou family mansion.
The clerk sat cross-legged in the hall, the door closed, and it was pitch black.
Faintly through the crack in the door, you can see that there is smoke in it, as if someone is swallowing clouds and spitting fog!
With the blood on his face unfinished, he knelt respectfully in front of the door, trembling his body, and reported today's events.
"Shut up! I saw with my own eyes three days ago, that kid is weak and has never cultivated at all, and you actually say that he beat you?" The building's words were cold, "Am I as stupid as you are when you are a master?"
"Master, it's true! This kid is fierce, and although his strength is weaker than mine, his moves are strange, and he can hit my empty door unexpectedly every time......" Dahei replied through gritted teeth.
"Although you are stupid, but you are also in the middle of the mortal realm, and you can't beat a sixteen-year-old boy, who will believe it?"
"Master, the big black is telling the truth, I will never dare to deceive the master!"
Da Hei lay on the ground, almost buried his head in the soil, he knew the temper of the master, once he was dissatisfied, he would definitely be worse than dead.
"Master, Erhei would like to meet that kid?" Erhei asked.
The clerk was silent for a long time before he spoke: "This matter is not urgent. The Chen family is stubborn and unknown, and even refused my request twice, tonight I will drive away the snakes, enter the mansion, invite the spirits, and ask for my life...... You go to the door of his house and keep an eye on it, if a Taoist priest dares to help, you will kill him...... Do it smartly, don't be seen. β
"Yes, sir!" nodded Erhei.
......
After the battle with Da Hei, Zhang Jiuxiao's pressure increased sharply, and he cultivated harder.
He is very reluctant to deal with a big black, if you add the second black and the unfathomable building staff, you don't have to think about it to know the consequences.
He didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, and almost all of his free time chose to cultivate silently.
The eighteen introductory forms of the Earth Refining Sacred Law are not limited to time and place, and as long as you are free, you can continue to practice.
Even so, the last four types still took more than three days.
"Open-"
In the woods in the back mountain, Zhang Jiuxiao was sweating profusely, insisting that he didn't understand half a pillar of incense, and finally his whole body was shocked, breaking a limit.
There is a familiar crisp sound from the bones, the muscles tense, the blood accelerates, and reaching the seventh form not only strengthens the body and strength, but also makes the body evolve once.
The first three forms are a stage, corresponding to the early stage of the mortal realm, and the middle four forms are a stage, corresponding to the middle stage of the mortal realm.
In just six or seven days, Zhang Jiuxiao has reached the middle stage of the mortal realm, and both in strength and mortal speed, he is far beyond the ordinary mid-stage mortal realm masters, and he also has the power to fight against the masters of the upper and late stages.
"Bang! bang!"
In front of a plane tree, Zhang Jiuxiao waved his palm with lightning, the trunk shook violently, the bark continued to crack, and palm prints were deeply imprinted on it.
There are several paw prints among them, which not only scratch through the bark, but also penetrate deep into the trunk of the tree, half a finger deep into the flesh, as if they were caught by iron claws!
"My strength has increased by nearly 100 catties, and my overall strength has doubled. β
"If I encounter Dahei again, I can defeat him in ten moves. β
"The Earth Refining Holy Law is really mysterious!"
Zhang Jiuxiao's body danced, and seven movements were performed in a row, like an incomparably agile mountain ape, spinning and shuttling in the mountains and forests.
The tricks are quirky and tricky, seemingly simple, but in fact they contain deep meanings and endless changes!
"Boom!"
The figure suddenly stopped, Zhang Jiuxiao stood in front of a boulder, and slowly withdrew his palm.
But on the boulder, a pair of palm prints are clearly visible, imprinted into the stone, up to half a finger.
"This is the power of the Seven Forms of Stacking!"
Looking at the palm print, Zhang Jiuxiao was very satisfied......
But before he could finish speaking, he felt wrong, his body shook, and he almost fell to the ground.
"I'm so dizzy...... How can there be a feeling of detachment......"
When I felt it carefully, I felt that the blood flow all over my body was too fast, my limbs trembled involuntarily, my mind was dizzy, and I felt a dull pain.
"Shuling, come out quickly...... What's going on?"
With a flash of light, Xiao Shuling jumped out of his eyebrows, flashed his wings and circled around him, and said after some investigation: "Stupid! You practice martial arts earnestly, you are in a hurry, constantly tapping your own potential, breaking the limits of your physical body, resulting in over-exploitation of potential, and your already weak body is even more unbearable. In addition, the spiritual power is too weak to keep up with the pace of cultivation, and this situation will occur. If you cultivate like this, you will only refine yourself to death. β
Zhang Jiuxiao broke out in a cold sweat: "How can this be?"
The little book spirit and the old god are here: "The pure-blooded human race in ancient times, all of them were strong in flesh, domineering in physique, and their spiritual power was comparable to that of gods...... I've never seen a human like you. β
Zhang Jiuxiao was completely speechless: "......"
Xiao Shuling pursed his lips: "To strengthen the body, you can replenish more blood and eat meat, and as for improving your spiritual power, you need to strengthen your soul." You've been doing this all along, but it's just illegal. β
Zhang Jiuxiao was very strange: "I've been doing it?"
The little scholar nodded, his wings flickered slightly, and the starlight was dotted, suspended in the air:
"In ancient times, after Pangu opened the sky, Nuwa Niangniang used the soil to fabricate the first generation of human race. β
"The soil is the treasure of the earth, so the pure-blooded human race is born with the body of the earth spirit. β
"The human race adheres to the Nuwa magic and creates a technique to enhance the soul power - the art of dividing the soul. β
"I see that you love the soil, and every day you do it yourself, kneading the soil into all kinds of utensils, and you have realized the wonder, but you can't taste it. β
"Make a pottery object out of clay now, and the spirit of this book will personally pass on the art of your soul. β
Zhang Jiuxiao quickly understood that Shuling's so-called technique of kneading soil was to fire pottery.
If he said that he would do other things, he really didn't dare to say "would", but he could already be called "fine" when it came to pottery.
To fire pottery, you need to choose a clay with excellent viscosity, grind it, add an appropriate amount of water, knead it into a vessel, air dry, and finally put it in a kiln to be calcined.
In the mountains around Anfu Town, clay can be found everywhere, Zhang Jiuxiao quickly found the appropriate clay, crushed it, added water, and began to knead it quickly.
"Drop your blood into the earth. β
The book spirit turned into a knife and slashed through Zhang Jiuxiao's fingertips, and a drop of blood rolled out and fell into the clay.
The clay is kneaded vigorously like dough, and the blood is mixed into the soil, turning the clay a pale red.
Because it was refined by hand, there was no fire calcination, the clay swirled around Zhang Jiuxiao's fingertips, and soon a lifelike mouse was formed.
The rat is the size of a palm, with long whiskers and a pointed nose, visible whiskers, and a slender and lifelike tail.
The wings of the book spirit flickered, and the thin palm was close to the center of Zhang Jiuxiao's eyebrows.
Zhang Jiuxiao's mind was shocked, as if his sixth sense was extended, and his spirit was all gathered, and he actually had an inexplicable affinity with this pottery rat.
"With your heart and with your God, visualize this thingβ"
"This thing has a spirit, a heart, a brain, internal organs, blood and life......"
As the book spirit shouted loudly, Zhang Jiuxiao immediately closed his eyes, and visualized the shape, organs, and even hair and beard of the mouse in his mind.
Visualization is to simulate the desired graphic pattern with the mind and shape it in the space of the mind!
"With my heart, with my thoughts, seal the soul and gather the soul-"
A mysterious thought filled Zhang Jiuxiao's mind, and his soul formed a strange pattern with the spell, like a formation, like a totem!
The pattern was formed, and Zhang Jiuxiao immediately felt a sharp pain in his soul, as if his soul had been pulled out by life.
This wisp of soul appeared in the space of his mind, slowly invading the body of the imaginary rat, and finally turned into a half-virtual and half-real mist-like rat soul.
"Soul Grantβ"
With a finger from the little book spirit, the rat-shaped soul flashed away and shot into the pottery rat.
"It hurts!"
Zhang Jiuxiao covered his head, his soul was extracted, and his heart hurt.
A broken soul will automatically collapse, and once it collapses irreversibly, it means that the soul is scattered - complete death!
"Oops, the soul of this pure-blooded human race is too weak...... Little one, if you don't want to be scattered, visualize this totem now!"
Another totem appears, in the form of Tai Chi, slowly rotating, but more complex than Tai Chi, deep and boundless, if you look closely, you can make people fall into it.
The Tai Chi totem was visualized and slowly suppressed on the soul, and the sharp pain suddenly stopped, and a cool feeling swept over.
Zhang Jiuxiao slowly recovered, but his soul was split, and he consumed too much energy, and he looked sluggish.
"The last step, the soul rises to the East, and all things are bornβ"
Xiao Shuling shouted, his little hand punched out countless seals, and Zhang Jiuxiao suddenly felt his mind perk, as if he was connected with something.
"Squeak!"
A miracle happened.
The surface of the little pottery rat's body glowed with a faint light, trembled, and came to life strangely.
Brocade-like black hair, pointed beak and long beard, eyes constantly turning, tail swinging from side to side...... Where is this still a pottery rat!
He ...... It's ...... alive," Zhang Jiuxiao was shocked.
"The first generation of human beings was born in the earth, and their souls are close to the earth, and they can live in the earth spirits, and under the warmth of the earth's qi, your soul will grow and grow rapidly. This pottery rat will be your doppelganger, and you will be in control of all its actions. You can also take back that strand of soul at any time, and it will merge perfectly with your soul without any blemish. The little scholar teased the pottery mouse, "It's a pity that this doppelganger has not been calcined by the flames, and it is too weak to be easily devoured by other creatures." β
"What would happen to me if I were killed or swallowed by other creatures?"
"Your soul will return across the air...... The premise is that the soul is not imprisoned in it. β
Zhang Jiuxiao put his mind at ease, the soul is too mysterious, mysterious and mysterious, almost invisible, and it is not something he can touch for the time being.
"Little one, go forage for food yourself...... Let's start by thinking about where to get some meat. β
