Chapter Eighty-Eight: Teaching Students According to Their Aptitude and Mistakenly Entering a Black Shop
The four masters and apprentices of Jingtian and Jingxuan performed the earth escape technique for the first time. It can be said to be thrilling. Liu Qingyun glanced at them and shook his head helplessly. He didn't understand, was it so difficult to practice these five elements of retreat? On the banks of the Tongtian River, it only took him half a day to learn all the tricks passed down by the Bodhisattva. Why are they working so hard today? He doesn't want to think about how thick his foundation is. Liu Qingyun thought for a moment, it seemed that he had to sum up, how could he get them to master the art of retreat?
Liu Qingyun first focused on Jingtian and Jingxuan. Obviously, their mana is sufficient, enough to cope with the consumption of mana by the retreat. It's just that the two of them came into contact with the escape method for the first time, and they were a little nervous and excited, and they didn't grasp the use of mana accurately enough, so they flipped over and flew out. They just need to practice two more times, calm their minds, and teach some tricks themselves.
Looking at righteousness and righteousness, they are much worse. Their mana is low, and the mana consumed by the Five Elements Escape Technique is very big for them, especially the righteous heart is obvious, and his mana only makes him fly five zhang high. It seems that they have to increase their mana first, otherwise these Five Elements Escape Technique will be passed on to them in vain.
When Liu Qingyun was almost finished, Jingtian and the others also eased up. Jingtian and Jingxuan walked over with red faces: "Mr. Shi, we are here, what's going on?, how can we fold our heads in mid-air?" Liu Qingyun sighed: "It's nothing? When you were playing tricks, you were willing to pour a lot of mana into the soil in your hands. And the mana in the soil is not even, so when you get to the air, you turn your heads. In fact, there is a difference between the walking escape technique and the attack escape technique, the more mana is injected into the attack escape technique, the more powerful it is. And the walking escape technique, the mana used when pinching the trick, only plays an activating role, and after the body is vacated, the mana can be injected into the retreat light under the feet of the road. It's because you used too much mana at the beginning, and it was uneven. So so that the light under your feet can't stop churning, and the light is churning, can you not follow the somersault?"
Jingtian and Jingxuan nodded, and Liu Qingyun told them some tricks. They went to the side to practice. Liu Qingyun turned around and called Yiming and Yixin over again. Liu Qingyun wanted to laugh when he looked at the two of them, but Yixin's mouth was still pouting! One hand was still rubbing his buttocks, and it seemed that he hadn't let go of Yiming's stabbing his ass with a stick.
Liu Qingyun patted Yixin's head: "Okay, you tell me, do you have any experience in performing the escape technique this time?" Yixin scratched the back of his head: "The shape (experience) is that the shape is to hang the tree next time (the experience is, don't hang on the tree next time)." Liu Qingyun almost got a heel. Yoshiaki couldn't help it anymore and burst out laughing on the side. Liu Qingyun blocked his mouth with his hand, coughed dryly twice, and turned around and asked Yiming: "Ahem-, Yiming, what about you?"
Yiming lowered his head: "I think, now, I can't perform the Five Elements Escape Technique." I don't have enough mana. As soon as he flew, the mana couldn't keep up. So as soon as I was nervous, I fell from the sky. Liu Qingyun nodded: "Well, you're right, it's fortunate that your mana is not enough, otherwise you would have to be like your master and them." Neither you nor Yixin's mana can support the consumption of the Five Elements Retreat Technique, and the main thing now is to increase your mana. After Yiming and Yixin heard this, they all wilted. Mana doesn't just mean that it can be increased by increasing it. That has to be done over time, meditation, and hard practice. How can it be possible to increase mana at this time and a half?
Liu Qingyun slapped them on the head: "Don't be so unenergetic, look at you, it's like an old cucumber that has been put for two months." Don't worry, I have a way to make your mana grow in a short period of time. "Do Yoshiaki and Yoshishin think they misheard?" They froze for a moment and looked at each other again. Yiming asked Liu Qingyun in an uncertain tone: "Mr. Liu, you just said that you have a way for us to increase our mana in a short period of time?" Liu Qingyun smiled and nodded: "Yes! That's what I said." This time, not only the righteous heart and the righteous light heard it, but even the pure heaven and they heard it.
Jingtian opened his eyes and looked at Liu Qingyun suspiciously: "Mr. Liu, what you said is true? This won't have the effect of pulling out seedlings, right?" Jingtian's words really reminded Liu Qingyun that Liu Qingyun originally wanted to use monkey wine to improve their mana. But if their mood is not enough, then it will hurt them? Liu Qingyun patted his head and walked around the same place twice.
In the end, he thought of a compromise solution, giving Yiming and Yixin a small amount of monkey wine, and then asking Yixin and Yiming to practice with him for a period of time, and he would practice the Relic Meditation Mantra every night, as long as they were by their side, they should be able to use the relics they cultivated to thicken their state of mind. In that case, they can increase their mana.
Liu Qingyun thought of this and stopped: "Pure Heaven Daoist, I have already thought of a way. You can rest assured that you will leave your righteousness and righteousness to me, and I promise that they will not only be safe, but also have a great increase in their mana. But one thing, they have to practice with me for a few days. Jingtian was very curious about what method Liu Qingyun would use, which could make the mana of Yiming and Yixin increase. But seeing that Liu Qingyun didn't reveal it, he didn't ask much. As long as Shi Tianxin can guarantee it. As long as your apprentice's mana grows smoothly.
Liu Qingyun took a deep breath and waved his hand: "Let's stop here today, let's walk? When it's night, let's find an inn." When the time comes, they will cultivate separately. Yixin, Yiming, you will share a room with me when you get to the store, right?" After Liu Qingyun finished speaking, he took the lead out of the woods, and Jingtian and Jingxuan led their disciples to follow. They walked along the avenue all the way, and Liu Qingyun had no good way now, so he could only walk forward on foot. When I got to a bigger town, I lived in an inn and then improved my righteousness and righteousness's mana, but now this wilderness is really not suitable for retreat. The most important thing at the moment is to find a suitable place for retreat. It is ideal to charter a small courtyard of an inn.
Liu Qingyun and the others walked from morning to noon, and they didn't come across a decent village or town. They had a simple meal at a roadside stall. It's all millet porridge and steamed bun rolls. Pickles, dried tofu and the like. After a meal, he continued on his way.
After walking for another two hours, they came to a town called Hongjiawopu. I don't know where the name of this town came from? The main thing is that there is really an inn in this Hongjiawopu, and this inn is called the old inn. The shopkeeper was a sixty-seven-eight-year-old man who looked quite charitable. And five more guys. Liu Qingyun and the others went in to inquire, and this inn really has three independent courtyards. Liu Qingyun took out a piece of silver and chartered a small courtyard. Then he ordered that no idle people should enter without the summons of himself and others, and then led them into the small courtyard.
When I arrived at the small courtyard, I saw that it was quite clean. Although there is no green brick paving, there is not a single grass thorn on the ground. Facing the door are three main rooms, and on either side are four side rooms. There are a lot of flowers planted in front of the house. Liu Qingyun pushed the door into the house and told Jingtian: "Wait a while, if the shop guy wants to deliver food or something, just ask him to deliver it to the door." I'm going to breathe now, and when the evening comes, I'll raise my mana for righteousness and righteousness. Don't sleep tonight, just work a night shift. Protect us out there. Jingtian and Jingxuan nodded in agreement.
Liu Qingyun turned around and asked Yixin and Yiming to prepare as well, rest their legs first, and then meditate to calm their minds and breathe, and regulate their qi and blood. When he had finished speaking, he went into the back room and sat cross-legged on the bed. Begin to use Yuan Gong, pinch the mantra with your hands, and silently recite the relic-meditative mantra in your mouth. Gradually, a layer of transparent ripples began to appear around Liu Qingyun's body. Layers of ripples slowly condensed into lotus flowers, sinking overhead. A colored mist was sucked in and sprayed out of his mouth, back and forth.
When it was time to put on the lamp, Liu Qingyun slowly retracted his work. At this time, Jingtian heard the movement in the inner room, and he came in: "Mr. Liu, the meal is ready." Let's eat first, shall we?" Liu Qingyun nodded: "Okay then! How are Yiming and Yixin doing now? Have they done pranayama? Call them out too!" Jingtian smiled: "They have already come out, just wait for you alone." Liu Qingyun was stunned, shook his head and smiled, and followed Jingtian to the living room.
At this time, Jingxuan and Yoshiaki were already standing at the edge of the table. After Liu Qingyun arrived, he stretched out his hand: "Everyone, what are you still standing for? After everyone was seated, they picked up the dishes and chopsticks and began to eat. Yiming saw that there were two pots of wine next to him, he picked up one of them and poured a glass for Liu Qingyun. Then Jingtian and Jingxuan each got a cup, and said while pouring wine: "Mr. Liu, master, uncle." This is the shopkeeper, and he asked the man to send two pots of fine vegetarian wine. The shopkeeper said that when the weather is cold, a glass of wine can warm up the body. How about you taste this wine, is it a good vegetarian wine?"
Liu Qingyun has only drunk mortal wine once, and he still drank it when he was with Zhu Bajie. Since it was the hospitality of the innkeeper, he didn't say anything, and he wanted to drink it when he picked up his glass. But when he picked up the glass and smelled it, he found that the wine had a peculiar fishy smell. This fishy smell is not very big, but Liu Qingyun frowned, he remembered that the last time he drank with Zhu Bajie, the wine had no fishy smell. Could it be that this wine is not as good as that time, so it has a fishy smell?
Liu Qingyun thought of this, so he asked more: "Jingtian Daoist, it seems that this wine is not a good wine, how can this wine still smell fishy?" Jingtian and Jingxuan were just about to drink, and when they heard Liu Qingyun's words, they took the wine glass away from their mouths again. Then he raised his nose and sniffed it carefully. At this moment, Liu Qingyun tilted his neck and drank the wine. Jingtian grabbed Liu Qingyun's hand and neck, but it was already too late at this time, and Liu Qingyun had already swallowed the wine.
Liu Qingyun looked at Jingtian: "Daoyou, what's wrong with you?" Jingtian glared at Liu Qingyun's empty wine glass: "Oh! Mr. Liu, this wine, can't you drink it?" This wine is full of spices. As soon as Jingtian finished speaking, Liu Qingyun felt that his head was really confused. Liu Qingyun knew that it was not good. He hurriedly used his mana to his head. He had a clever struck on him, and his head cleared up a lot. Liu Qingyun hurriedly took out a bottle of monkey wine from the treasure bag, put it to his mouth and took a sip. Then he closed his eyes. It was only about two breaths before Liu Qingyun opened his eyes.
After Liu Qingyun opened his eyes, his face sank like water. I really didn't expect that I was almost planted in the hands of mortals today. This is fortunate because Jingtian reminded him in time, and he reacted quickly. If you do it, you will make a fool of yourself. Liu Qingyun looked at the wine jug: "Daoyou, there is poison in this wine jug?"
Jingtian nodded: "Just now, Mr. said that this wine smelled fishy, so we didn't drink it, and looked at the wine again." Sir, if you take a closer look, this wine is quite clear, but if you look closely, you will find that the wine is rotating at the bottom of the glass, and it stands to reason that the wine is not fresh when it is turned in the glass, and when the wine is poured, the wine will inevitably spin. But this wine is different, and the wine on it can be said to be unmoving. In addition, the wine has a faint fishy smell, so I am sure that the wine has been drugged. ”
Liu Qingyun took a deep breath, he really didn't expect that after a day's journey, he finally found an inn. It turned out to be a black shop. I've heard of a black shop framing a merchant in the past? This is the first time today. Now that they have reached out to themselves and others, how should they act with them next?
