Chapter 23 The need to guard against people's hearts
In front of the Qingling Peak Gong Dharma Pagoda, Ling Xuan, who was meditating with his eyes closed and in a black robe, suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes flashed with Dao Dao Qingmang, and he seemed to look in a certain direction with some feeling.
But this way of casting spells is a bit strange!
"Is it a technique to enter the Dao?" Ling Xuan asked in a somewhat uncertain tone.
"Isn't it possible?" asked a voice from the void.
The black-robed old man withdrew the green mang in his gaze and said in a deep voice: "Although theoretically every perfect ninth-order Dao technique is a technique that can directly point to the gods, but firstly, this is obviously the best spell, and secondly, I have also cultivated several Dao techniques, this voyeuristic blue pupil has even practiced to the ninth order, but if you say that I am a cultivator who enters the Dao with a technique, then I will never believe it." ”
"You people who only practice Dao as a technique, but you forget the word Dao Technique, and there is also a Dao word! ”
"Then this kid has practiced this superb spell and entered the Tao with magic?"
"You said it yourself, this is a superb spell, where did you get the magic to enter the Dao?" the voice in the void asked rhetorically.
"Then did he meet Uncle Shi's requirements or didn't meet them?" the black-robed old man still didn't think clearly, and asked directly.
"It's all said, this kid obviously has a good understanding, he is clever enough, and his qualifications are okay, but for some reason he can't learn my supreme spell. Although he barely touched the threshold this time, he didn't know when he would be able to get started, maybe he should let Lingjing, the little girl, come forward to give him a few tips, after all, whose apprentice still has to be slowly trained by himself in the end!"
In the outer area of the mountain behind the Qingxuanmen, a team of four disciples from the outer gate of the Qingxuanmen wearing light blue robes was cautiously walking in the direction of the back mountain gate.
Four people, two men and two women, two male disciples one in front of one and one behind, respectively exploring the path and breaking the back. However, the aura of the four people was a little vain, and they were obviously injured while hunting demons.
The leader has a national character face, a pair of thick eyebrows and big eyes, showing masculinity and at the same time with a warmth that makes people feel friendly, and he has just entered the fifth layer of qi refining, which is the highest among the four, and the injury is also the lightest.
"Senior Brother Zhong Qian, this time you must be careful to investigate, don't make a mistake and encounter the demon beasts in the late stage of qi refining, the four of us are afraid that we will not be able to withstand the toss of the demon beasts in the late stage of qi refining at this moment. But one of the two female disciples couldn't help but say.
Zhong Qian, the leader, smiled mildly when he heard this: "Senior Sister Xiao, I was already good at concealing attacks and killings in the late stage of Qi refining before, but it was unexpected. But come to think of it, our luck won't be too bad to meet two late-stage Qi refining demon beasts in a row that are good at stealth attacks and killings. ”
"Yes, Qingsha, that demon beast in the late stage of qi refining is good at concealing sneak attacks, so despicable, it is reasonable for Senior Brother Zhong to be concealed, how can you blame Senior Brother Zhong?"
"Zhang Hong, what do you think?" Xiao Qingsha seemed a little unwilling, and asked the male disciple behind.
"Qingsha, I think Senior Sister Jinxi is right. Zhang Hong said simply.
"Qingsha, at this time, we have all suffered a lot of injuries, and there is something wrong with Senior Brother Zhong, if you anger him with such a duty and leave us, wouldn't our trip be even more dangerous?" Zhang Hong said to Qingsha directly.
"Senior Brother Zhong shouldn't be that kind of person, right?" Xiao Qingsha also regretted a little when she heard Zhang Hong's words, so she had to think like this.
"The heart of defense is indispensable. Although the four of us climbed up from the miscellaneous disciples together, we also need to be cautious, otherwise, wouldn't it be a joke to be sold one day and help the people to make money?!" Zhang Hong said solemnly to Xiao Qingsha.
"Senior Brother Zhong, but what I just said was a little excessive, that demon beast in the late stage of qi refining is good at concealing and attacking, I am afraid that even ordinary senior brothers in the late stage of qi refining will also be concealed, and it is reasonable that Senior Brother Zhong did not find out. Xiao Qingsha said.
"But it's also because I'm not careful enough to be hidden by the demon beast, Senior Sister Xiao, don't worry, I will definitely carefully explore the demon beast in front of me. Zhong Qian still said with a gentle smile, as if Xiao Qingsha's accusation had not happened before.
Suddenly, Zhong Qian's divine sense sensed that there were two monks not far ahead, a man and a woman, the man looked like he was no more than twelve or thirteen years old, and the woman looked like she was about two years old, wearing a light green long skirt, and she was in the late stage of Qi refining!
Zhong Qian stopped suddenly, his expression was a little complicated, and he didn't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing to meet his fellow disciples in the late stage of Qi refining like this.
"Senior Brother Zhong, is there an abnormality ahead?" Jin Xi asked in a low voice when she saw Zhong Qian suddenly stop.
Zhong Qian slowly put away his complicated expression and regained a gentle smile again: "There is nothing abnormal in front, but there are two fellow disciples, and one of them is a cultivator in the late stage of Qi refining. ”
"Senior Brother Zhong, the cultivators in the late stage of qi refining are much more powerful than demon beasts, and the four of us are in this situation now, if that fellow disciple in the late stage of qi refining has bad intentions, I'm afraid there will be no resistance!" Xiao Qingsha said a little eagerly.
Although they are brothers in the same sect, they always need to be careful when hunting demons in the mountains behind this Qingxuanmen, after all, the heart of defense is indispensable!
"I can sense her, with that senior sister's cultivation in the late stage of qi refining, how can she not sense me?" Zhong Qian said with a smile, but he was a little helpless.
"Now that she has discovered us, if she dodges and doesn't see us, it will lead to speculation, and if there is no evil intention, I am afraid that there will be evil intentions. Zhang Hong's words were simple, but the meaning was clear.
"Senior Brother Zhang is right, there is no other good way to get out at the moment, let's go over. ”
The scope of the cultivator's divine consciousness in the Qi refining period is not large, and the place that can completely envelop the exploration is only half a mile in size at most, but if it is changed to fuzzy induction, it can be larger, about a few miles. Therefore, as soon as the four of them walked forward, they soon met two of their fellow disciples.
At this time, the other three people came to see the appearance of the senior sister in the late stage of qi refining: her appearance was quite beautiful, holding a long sword in her hand, wearing a light green long skirt, combing her hair in a Ling Xuan bun, and a red hairband fluttering lightly in the wind.
As for the junior disciple in the early stage of Qi refining, the three of them just glanced at it casually, a young man of about twelve or thirteen years old, and there was nothing special about it.
"Senior Sister Su!" it was indeed Jinxi and Qingsha who shouted at the same time, their faces full of joy.
"Senior Brother Zhong, Senior Sister Su is the new master of our Qingshui Peak, although her cultivation is only the seventh layer of Qi refining, she has already defeated the senior sister of the ninth layer of Qi refining. And although Senior Sister Su is a little cold, she is indeed not bad, and I think we are safe for the time being. Jinxi explained to Zhong Qian.
"It turned out to be the two junior sisters of Jinxi and Qingsha, but is there something wrong?" The female disciples in the Qi Refining Period on Qingshui Peak are not too few and not too many, and with the memory of the Qi Refining Period cultivators, they will not be unable to remember, so Su Chenxuan recognized these two female comrades who had several faces.
"Senior Sister Su, the four of us were a little careless when we hunted demons, we were injured, and the healing pills have been exhausted, I wonder if Senior Sister still has a healing pill that can sell us a bottle?"
"Well, I have the healing elixir. According to the rules of the back mountain, a bottle of rejuvenation pill is one hundred spirit stones. Hearing this, Su Chenxuan took out a jade bottle from the storage bag and said directly.
"Thank you Senior Sister for your help!" It was indeed Zhong Qian who spoke, Zhong Qian took out a hundred spars from the storage bag, wrapped them in mana and slowly sent them to Su Chenxuan.
Su Chenxuan was not polite, she directly put away the hundred spirit stones, handed over the bottle of Rejuvenation Pill, and then said: "Several junior brothers and sisters are not lightly injured, but do you need to be treated on the spot? ”
As soon as Zhong Qian took the pill, he heard Su Chenxuan's words, but he didn't move, and looked back at the three companions, there was a bit of hope in his eyes, but there was also a little embarrassment, and he immediately understood.
After pondering his tone for a while, Zhong Qian said: "Thank you Senior Sister Su for your help, Senior Brother, my injury is not in the way, let's protect the Dharma with Senior Sister, if there is an accident, I can help a little bit." ”
"That's fine. Su Chenxuan did not object.
Seeing that Su Chenxuan didn't say anything, Jinxi and the three of them took the pill, and after taking it, they meditated on the spot to heal their injuries. And Zhong Qian, as he said, guarded the Dharma with Su Chenxuan.
Generally speaking, a monk in the Qi refining period can be suppressed with mana if he receives some minor injuries, and the difference between his combat power and usual time at this time is not too big, and even the injury can slowly heal under the nourishment of mana.
Only when the injury is too severe, and most of the mana can only slightly suppress the injury, so that it does not aggravate further, because it is difficult to mobilize the mana around the body, then the combat power will be greatly reduced, and it needs to cooperate with the healing pill to heal the injury.
Zhong Qian, who was guarding the Dharma by the side, was very vigilant, and a trace of divine consciousness had been in contact with the fire dragon talisman in the storage bag, and he could take it out of the storage bag at any time to activate it. The demon hunting disciples who died in the mountains behind Qingxuanmen did not die under the demon beasts because of their poor skills.
You can't have the heart to hurt people, and you can't have the heart to prevent people!
However, in contrast, Su Chenxuan was not so guarded, and even the long sword in his hand was directly put into the storage bag.
Seeing this, Zhong Qian secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then felt a little ashamed, not knowing what to say, and Senior Sister Su and the young junior brother in front of him didn't speak, and the whole scene seemed a little subtle.
