Time flies, time flies, and in a blink of an eye, seven years have passed. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
At this time, it is the third month of the Yellow Calendar, when the spring is cold and steep, the sky is like a hook, and the stars are brilliant.
A few laurel trees in the courtyard swayed in the wind, sending a faint fragrance into Li Sanbai's bedroom. Li Sanbai sat cross-legged on the bed, and the soft water essence true qi in his body slowly flowed, passing through the meridians in his body, like a stream flowing, gurgling endlessly.
Cultivating immortals together, secretly combining the number of the six lines of the I Ching, divided into six realms: practicing qi, building foundations, Jindan, Yuanying, distraction, and turning into void. If you take a step further, you will become an earth immortal, with endless longevity, and only the catastrophe can be assured.
At this time, Li Sanbai is the cultivation of the seventh layer of the Qi training period, he meditates and concentrates, the true qi in the body from the dantian to the perineum, and then divides into two strands along the inner side of the upper and lower legs straight down to the spring, and then inhales, the lower abdomen contractions, the tongue against the palate, the true qi goes up from the center of the foot to the perineum, passes the three levels along the Du pulse, goes up to the top of the head, and then divides down the front side of the two ears, meets at the tip of the tongue, and is just connected with the breath of his exhalation, and then goes down from the Baihui acupoint on the top of the head to the spring, and the cycle continues.
At the time of Li Sanbai's luck, there was a golden needle in the dantian that bloomed with heroic light, leaping and jumping, inhaling the wisps of true qi in his body, making the speed at which his true qi grew very slow.
This golden needle is the Xuanqi needle that Xia Yuxue passed to Li Sanbai, if it weren't for this needle, he would have already built a foundation.
Terran teenagers are considered adults after the age of sixteen, and they can participate in the Six Arts Competitions organized by the imperial court to gain various opportunities and change their own destiny.
Outstanding people in the Six Arts Competition can enlist in the army and enter the court as officials, and get the opportunity for further promotion.
If you are more excellent, you can be named a scholar, get rid of the status of a civilian, get rid of hard work, and after becoming a scholar, if you want to enter the court, you can be an official, if you want to join the army, you can be a general.
Among them, the best can obtain the "Immortal Guidance" token, with which you can participate in the entrance assessment of the world's immortal gate and get the opportunity to worship the immortal gate.
What Li Sanbai wanted in his heart was this immortal guiding token, so although he was able to participate in the Six Arts Competition four years ago, he had been patient, in order to succeed in the Six Arts Competition in one fell swoop after further cultivation.
However, under the influence of the Xuan Qi Needle, he delayed for four years, but it did not have much effect, and his cultivation was only from the fifth layer of the Qi cultivation period to the seventh layer.
Thinking of this, it was inevitable that he would be depressed in his heart, and the true qi in his body was also in chaos, Li Sanbai hurriedly collected his mind and guided his true qi to step into the right path.
The true qi turned around for nine great weeks, and gradually became a great river rushing, surging, and heading straight for the dantian.
"Boom!"
Dao true qi poured into the dantian, just like a hundred rivers entering the sea, stirring up a stormy wave in the dantian. The Xuanqi needle was drenched by this lot of true qi, and a shudder, in the center of the dantian, it suddenly gathered countless surging true qi, and they all rushed towards it.
Suddenly, I saw that a true qi vortex had formed in Li Sanbai's dantian, and countless true qi were surging and converging, gradually forming an air mass. If this air mass can be further compressed and condensed into a gas core, Li Sanbai will be able to break through the qi training period and step into the foundation building.
However, at this time, he was still far from the realm of the foundation building period, and as soon as the qi mass was formed, it immediately dissipated, turning into a cloud of true qi and dissipating in his dantian.
The difficulty of cultivating the Tao is difficult to ascend to the sky!
Li Sanbai sighed secretly, stood up, pushed open the window and looked out, only to see that the sky was already bright at this time, and I don't know when the night had passed, and a round of red sun erupted from the sky, sprinkling golden light, dyeing the red glow in the distance transparently.
Under the rays of the morning sun, everything flourishes, and a burst of vitality permeates the heavens and the earth.
Li Sanbai exhaled and inhaled, inhaled a breath of anger, and spit out a mouthful of turbid air in his body, and his originally depressed mood was much better.
He pushed open the door and walked into the courtyard, where his mother Lin Wanhua was holding a bamboo stick, using the stick instead of a sword, practicing the water soft swordsmanship all the way. The water soft sword technique is a sword technique matched with the soft water trick, the sword technique is unfolded, such as flowing clouds and water, endless, deep in power, but also on the flying sword to attach three water waves, soft to weak, but can confuse the opponent, entangle the opponent's flying sword, and unconsciously defeat the enemy.
When Lin Wanhua saw Li Sanbai, she gradually put away her sword momentum, and finally with a slight wave, she inserted the bamboo stick into the grass next to her, turned to Li Sanbai and said, "Sanbai, get up!"
Li Sanbai nodded: "Mother, I asked Li Yue to go to Xiangshui City together to participate in the Six Arts Competition." ”
Lin Wanhua said: "Well, I made steamed buns, you take them and Li Yue to eat on the road, go over early, don't miss the hour." ”
As he spoke, he went into the kitchen and took out a package, in addition to the steamed buns, there were two chicken legs, but Lin Wanhua thought that her son was going to participate in the Six Arts Competition today, so she got up early to make it.
The chicken leg bulged out a shape on the package, Li Sanbai saw it, and then touched the warmth of the tentacle in his hand, although he hadn't eaten it yet, he seemed to have smelled the fragrance of the chicken leg, and he couldn't help but smile at the moment, and said to Lin Wanhua: "Mother, don't worry, I will definitely get good results in the Six Arts Competition!"
Lin Wanhua nodded with a smile and said, "You guys go to Xiangshui City this time, it may take several days, don't save money after you leave home, the poor family will be rich." ”
And he said, "Is there enough money?"
Li Sanbai said: "I brought enough, I brought more than ten copper coins." ”
When the mother and son were chattering, a voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Third brother, it's not early, it's time to go." ”
It was Li Yue.
Li Sanbai answered, took a long sword, quit his mother, pushed open the door, walked outside the house with a package containing steamed buns, and saw a young man at the door of sixteen or seventeen years old, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, a burly figure, and his eyes revealed a fierce meaning. When the young man saw Li Sanbai, he called: "Third brother!" The sound was like a wolf's howl, shocking.
However, Li Sanbai has been with Li Yue since he was a child, and he has long been used to it, and said: "Li Yue, let's go!" The two of them started their steps and went straight to Xiangshui City.
Speaking of this Li Yue, he is also a strange person. He was abandoned when he was born, but fortunately the old village chief of the village passed by, adopted him, and taught him the wood system of the wood technique, Shen Mu Gong, and pulled him up with hard work. Later, the old village chief passed away when he was ten years old, he followed the village hunters up the mountain to hunt, and the villagers in the village helped from time to time, and the stumbling survived, and also practiced a ruthless body in the hunting, with his fierce appearance, it can really stop children from crying at night.
However, although he has a fierce appearance, he is very righteous, so Li Sanbai has been friends with him since he was a child.
He is also quite talented in cultivation, and at the age of seventeen, he has already practiced Shenmu Gong to the eighth level of cultivation in the Qi cultivation period, although Li Sanbai is three years older than him, but because of the cultivation of the Xuan Qi Needle, his cultivation is not as good as him.
"Li Yue, I heard that soon, the Xuanwu Sect will open the mountain to accept disciples, if we can win the Six Arts Competition this time and get the Immortal Guidance Token, maybe we will be able to worship the Xuanwu Sect. The two ate steamed chicken legs on the road, and while walking, Li Sanbai opened his mouth and talked about something.
Li Yue heard this, and smiled: "Third brother, this news is not far from ten, but can we get the immortal guidance token? In my opinion, instead of working hard to cultivate immortals, it is better to enter the court and become an official, and the beauty of the country and the mountains, wouldn't it be happy?"
Li Sanbai shook his head: "The foundation of the human race lies in cultivating immortals. If you can't improve on the fairy road, no matter how good the beauty is, it's just a void!"
Li Yue said: "I don't think so! Third brother, a man is born in the world, he should shake the world and lead countless heroes to bend their waists! In this way, even if it is brilliant in an instant, it is enough, how can it be empty?"
Li Sanbai didn't expect Li Yue to have such ambitions, so he nodded and smiled at the moment: "What you said is right, no matter what, you must forge ahead, you shouldn't be afraid of your head and tail, and you should be greedy for your life." ”
The two of them talked all the way, and unconsciously arrived at the south gate of Xiangshui City, where two rows of armored soldiers were guarded by armored soldiers at the gate of the city, all of whom were cultivating at the fifth or sixth level during the Qi training period.
Li Sanbai and the two took out a bronze medal, the back of the bronze medal was engraved with a black bear, and a line of small characters was engraved on the front, indicating the identities of the two people.
As soon as the two entered Xiangshui City, they saw a notice board at the gate of the city, and many men, women, and children were pointing around the sign, and they were talking endlessly.
"Brother, look, the Xuanwu Immortal Sect is about to open the mountain to accept disciples, and I don't know who is so lucky to be able to worship under the Xuanwu Sect. ”
"Yes, this Xuanwu faction is the first major faction in our Chu country, and the Zhen faction exercises are the true martial arts scriptures handed down by the Zhenwu Emperor in the upper realm, which can make people directly prove the immortal way, if only my daughter could worship the Xuanwu faction and learn the true martial arts scriptures. ”
There was a burst of ridicule from the crowd: "That True Martial God Sutra is that the head of the Xuanwu Sect can't practice, and it can only be learned by the True Martial Emperor with the approval of the True Martial Emperor and the True Martial Emperor in the Xuanwu Sect Patriarch Hall." It's a great opportunity for your daughter to be able to worship the Xuanwu Sect, and she still thinks about the True Martial God Sutra?"
Li Sanbai listened to everyone's discussions, his heart moved, and he squeezed into the crowd with Li Yue and arrived under the billboard.
But on a wooden plaque, a line of big characters was left in the water shadow technique: "March 6, 2053 in the Yellow Calendar: Today, by the edict of King Mu, inform the people of Chu that the Xuanwu faction opened the mountain to accept apprentices." Anyone under the age of 35 who holds an Immortal Guidance Token can go to Taihe Mountain on June 7 to participate in the Xuanwu Sect's apprenticeship examination!"
Li Sanbai saw it and said secretly: "This thing is true, this time in the Six Arts Competition, I will definitely win the Immortal Guidance Token." ”
However, in the entire Xiangshui City, one city and seven counties, three hundred and sixty villages, and thousands of people who participated in the test, there were only two immortal guidance tokens, so how difficult was it to win?
