Chapter 18: Ruoshui
Xu Xian faced the evening breeze and the morning glow, sat down slowly, thinking about what to do next?
With an idea, he took out the merit card and said, "I want to see Mercury." Sure enough, there was no response, and this too complicated wish could not be realized.
Then it's better to put it another way, since you know the general method of Mercury observation, you should know more detailed things, but you have forgotten about it. But theoretically, these memories should still exist, since I don't call the mountains and mountains, then walk over by yourself!
He took a deep breath, closed his eyes gently, and silently made a wish: "I want to remember all the memories of Mercury in my mind." At the same time as Xu Xian made a wish, the merit card flowed through a layer of clear light, and that layer of clear light seemed to flow from Xu Xian's body to the jade plate, and then flowed back into Xu Xian's body. Turning energy that is impossible to actually use into something that can be used is nothing but a process of transformation. But the wisdom of the effort contained in it is very much more than anyone can imagine.
At this moment, Xu Xian's mind seemed to have set off a storm, and the storm was getting bigger and bigger. With his senses, it was as if the search function was turned on, and all the memories related to Mercury, those that he had long forgotten, were rediscovered.
"Pain, pain, pain, pain......" Xu Xian hugged his head. I just reviewed almost the high school geography and astronomy courses, and then I will be able to get a full score in the exam, which makes the teacher who taught him smile Jiuquan. But I still didn't have what I wanted, and my head hurt when it was over.
Xu Xian let out a heart-rending wail: "Exam-oriented education kills people!"
Wait, another memory caught his attention, it was a trip to an astronomical museum, he saw a model of the universe, and then the tour guide lady seemed to have introduced something. What is it?
The merit was further consumed, and the passage gradually became clearer, although it was only a brief introduction to the methods of observing the planets with the naked eye, and it contained a lot of technical terms. But that's when other knowledge comes in.
Xu Xian laughed three times, full of pride. "Huixin" was activated, countless data were included in the calculation, seeing that the sun was about to erase his last rays of light, Xu Xian's eyes flashed a fine light, and he looked at the sky with a telescope, through the cover of infinite sunlight, a little light blue that was almost hidden in the sky.
Mercury, I've found you!
Xu Xian desperately absorbed the light blue starlight in the golden light, but before he could absorb it for a while, it was sinking in the west and Mercury was hidden.
The little bit of ice blue energy absorbed is really only a little, if you can only absorb this little bit every day, when will this have results? No, it can't be done every day, because only a few times can Mercury be observed, and today it happens to be at a great east-west elongation, but there will be no such good luck in the future.
Moreover, when that bit of ice blue was incorporated into the divine soul, his desperate protection was not dissolved by the surging golden light, but it was still decreasing little by little, and it was only a matter of time before he disappeared or was transformed into the power of the sun.
Could it be that I was wrong in the first place, that the establishment of the solar galaxy was a joke at all? Xu Xian couldn't help but have doubts in his heart. The mood also fell to the bottom, it turned out that it was in vain that I fought so much!
As soon as the heart qi declined, that little bit of star power dissolved faster.
No, not yet. Although he understood the difference between humans and gods better, he never dared to despise the immortals and the like, but was more careful. The road to immortality begins in the Spring and Autumn Period, except for those heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals who can't become atmospheric, how many people are really successful in cultivation?
It's not that the gods are stingy with this, and there are few people in Kyushu, who are willing to teach and learn on the other, but in the end, only such a group of people can surpass all living beings and become immortals and Buddhas. The difficulties of this path can be imagined, unless there is great wisdom, great perseverance, great blessings, it is difficult to achieve, and the opponent you have to face is such a strong opponent with a brain, strong will, and strong character.
And Fahai is the best of them, even if he learns the Great Thunder Sound or even the stronger Great Light Mantra, he can't get out of his nest. If you don't have a little bit of your own hard work at the bottom of the box, how can you compete with him for your fortune in the future?
At this time, he suddenly remembered what his high school teacher said: Mercury has no water! Even the starlight that he tried his best to preserve has absolutely no water power, but pure star power.
But what if water is added?
The power of the five elements is everywhere, not to mention that it is on the edge of the river, Xu Xian has practiced for several years, and he still understands the basic way of absorption, but he will not try to absorb energy other than star power. Now my mind is moving, and I have begun to absorb the water power between heaven and earth.
Sure enough, the power of the water spirit was attached to that little bit of starlight, and the speed of star power dissolving began to slow down, but it only slowed down, and a glass of water could not save the fire. Although the power of the water spirit and the power of the star are different in nature, they will not be fused by the power of the sun, but they will be repulsed, as if in the realm of light, other forces will not be allowed to invade.
Xu Xian was also struggling to support, but he suddenly remembered something and took it out with difficulty, it was the pearl that was given by Zi Longjun a few years ago, a transparent light blue pearl, beautiful as a dream.
As soon as this pearl came out, it immediately shone with a light blue light, and it was not inferior in the evening glow. Xu Xianping said that he didn't realize it, and at this moment, absorbing the power of the water spirit, he immediately felt the water power of the Peiruo River contained in the pearl, but these powers seemed to be frozen and could not be used directly.
And at this moment, there is only a little bit of light blue in the soul that melts away, if there is no little star power to guide it, no matter how much water spiritual power is repelled by the power of the sun, it will not form a climate.
However, since you can't directly use the power of the pearl, let's use it as a guide! Under the guidance of Xu Xian, the light blue light is a masterpiece, and the light of the pearl at this moment is ten times stronger than before. The invisible power of the water spirit around him is surrounding him, no, it is the pearl in his hand that is spinning.
It is not only the thousand-year-old practice of the turtle spirit, but also the breath of the water god of the great river, madly guiding the water power of the Yangtze River not far from here.
Thousands of miles away from the Yangtze River, in the deep river water, a dark cave, a pair of dark golden eyes suddenly lit up, the surrounding water momentum was paused, and the fish, shrimp, turtles and turtles floating in the water stopped swinging, like a courtier waiting for the king's order, whether it was to be swallowed at will, or to take advantage of the opportunity of the water king's cultivation to absorb more water power. Thunder, rain and dew are all Jun's grace.
But it's only for a moment, and it's as if it's just an illusion. The water flows to the east, and the fish and turtles swim, each in its own way. The dark golden eyes slowly closed again, and he felt that someone was absorbing the water power of the Yangtze River as the god of the Yangtze River, but then he felt the familiar breath, his own breath, and after a moment of doubt, he remembered the pearl sent out a few days ago, revealing a terrifying smile, his sharp teeth were like a sword, and his bright red tongue licked it, and the proud dragon king also gave birth to a sigh of "old".
Xu Xian felt that the water spiritual power that had only been slowly introduced into his body suddenly became abundant, as if it was the difference between a small stream and a big river. The little bit of light blue that frantically poured into his body, and the star power quickly expanded. It was like fine dust, but now it is like a mustard seed, and it is still growing.
Until the light in the pearl in his hand dimmed, the breath of the Water Monarch was exhausted, and the speed of absorbing the power of the water spirit was slow, although it was much faster than Xu Xian's own absorption, but it was not as pleasant as the long whale absorbing water just now.
Xu Xian also felt that today's cultivation had reached the extreme, and if he continued, the effect would be limited. And the small pale blue star in the soul has stabilized, although it is far less than the light of the main star, but there is no danger of being melted and harmonized. And according to some wonderful law, slowly rotate with the main star.
If someone can compare the movement of Mercury in the universe at this moment, they will find that the operation of the two is completely consistent, just like the most accurate model of the solar system, although it is only two, but it really lays the foundation for Xu Xian's cultivation path. Taking the stars as a guide, borrowing is the power of the five elements on this earth, if there is no trace of star power, the power of the five elements cannot exist in the soul, but without the power of the five elements, the star power is just the end of being fused.
Xu Xian drilled the tip of the horns and insisted on starting to light up from Mercury, which is closest to the sun, which was a fool's errand. But if he starts to light up from other planets, then he will find that this is simply impossible, with his surname, he will probably give up the matter, and if there is no pearl with the same surname that Long Jun just gave him, Xu Xian can only achieve nothing.
This is also one of the most helpless things in practice--good fortune. It's not enough to have a brain and a surname, you have to have a strong character, and if you want to have such a thing, you have to accumulate merits, and you can't have too many ideas about accumulating merits, which is really difficult for many immortals, Buddhas and demons. But this happens to be what Xu Xian is best at, with his bad and good temper, he is like a character halo at any time, and his character is as strong as a diamond.
To have today's harvest is both accidental and inevitable.
Xu Xian stopped his cultivation and carefully probed the state in his soul, well, the sun is there. Well, Mercury is here, and if it continues to develop, it will probably make a solar system come out, Xu Xian's heart suddenly moved: Is it my destiny to establish a small universe and become a saint warrior?
If the comprehension in Chibi is only a state of mind to recognize one of his own paths, then the establishment of the Star Palace at this moment is to walk out of his own path in practice. Relying on the star and building the Star Palace to practice, the sea of stars is already an outlier in the cultivation, and at this moment, Xu Xian's cultivation method is an outlier among the outliers, maybe when he begins to light up the sun star that has never been lit up, this path is destined for him to be maverick.
There has never been a way of cultivation in the sea of stars, the ordinary star palace, which is just a static word, but Xu Xian's star palace at the moment is a combination of movement and static, with the constancy of the main star of the sun, and the planets running all the time, but it is the most accurate star operation in the world.
The meaning of the Heavenly Dao is vast, and one of the explanations is the law, the law between the heavens and the earth in the universe. Xu Xian's trip can be regarded as a coincidence.
"Hanwen, why are you still here so late!" Pan Yu's voice sounded from behind him. She talked to Jin Wancheng about the details of the shares, had dinner, and waited until the second watch, but she didn't see Xu Xian come back. Although she knew that Xu Xian's magical powers were vast, nothing would happen, but there was still an anxiety in her heart that made her sleep, and she finally couldn't help but find it, until she saw a blue light on the mountain outside the city, and she looked for it here.
Xu Xian looked up at the sky, it was already late at night, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, and the sky was like a curtain. Calculate the time, there is less than a month to go, it is Qingming, there is the beginning of everything, and it is the fate that I have been waiting for for a long time.
He turned around and smiled: "Mingyu, it's almost Qingming!"
Pan Yu was stunned for a moment, still the same appearance, but her bearing seemed to be more casual and gentle, the night breeze was slightly cool, the moonlight was like water, and he in front of him seemed to be going to go with the wind at any time, reaching the heavenly palace that she couldn't imagine, and she no longer had the ability to keep it.
"yes, it's almost Qingming!"
The black night breeze envelops the whole body, making people feel as if they are in warm water and indulging in this spring breeze. Xu Xian looked at the somewhat poignant and beautiful face, and the memories in his mind were mixed, like blisters, coming up from the bottom of the lake, spitting out patches of light and shadow on the surface of the water, and sighing. Then it vanished.
The face in the dream became clearer and clearer, as if it were within reach, and some fragmented images flew through my mind, all about the woman in front of me. But the image faded so quickly, and so shattered, that it was not coherent enough to leave anything to live. It's just real as if it really existed.
Try her best to catch a memory, in that blister, she is in her arms, smiling softly with her eyes closed.
The wind is stronger, and the feeling of water is getting deeper and deeper, which makes people intoxicated and sad, but I don't know where these feelings come from, maybe it's the past life, or those who can't be washed away after crossing the Lethe River!
I can understand this truth, I can experience the joy of swimming in the rivers and lakes, but why is there always such an impulse to turn back time, to go back to the past, to die on the shore with you?
Look at the moon-shaped single look at each other, only envy the mandarin duck and not the immortal.
The painting boat goes south, the warblers on both sides of the strait sing and swallow language, and the willows are green. Compared with the steep peaks of the Yangtze River, the river waves are like snow, which is the great spring in the south of the Yangtze River. The spring breeze is also getting warmer and warmer, and there is a drizzle from time to time, and it goes with the boat.
Pan Yu became more and more silent, sometimes she thought, the one in the painting wall of Lingyin Temple is the real self! not as strong as she imagined, but sentimental will be depressed for him, weak and even hate herself.
Xu Xian said: "Hey, Mingyu, I'm about to enter the West Lake in front of me!
Pan Yu smiled and said, "It's probably seasickness!"
Xu Xian also said: "Don't worry, you will be able to go ashore soon!"
Pan Yu replied in a low voice, but he longed for the boat to float forever on this turquoise lake.
Xu Xian didn't know her intentions, and returned to the bow of the boat to cultivate. He can finally cultivate during the day, and the power of this water spirit is indiscriminate day and night. Thinking that he was about to reach Qingming, he also cultivated extremely diligently, absorbing the power of the sun at night to strengthen the main star, and absorbing the power of the water spirit to strengthen this auxiliary star at night. It is also quite effective for these words to persist, and although the Sun has not changed much, Mercury has become more and more stable.
Pan Yu naturally didn't come to disturb him, but these words were very thankful when Caifeng was together. It's just that without him talking and laughing by his side, his mood is getting lower and lower.
Soon after the boat sailed, they saw a familiar scene, and the people on board were cheering, and they all knew that they were about to arrive home. At this moment, the originally calm water suddenly rolled in the waves, as if it was boiling, and it was still the same calm in the distance. The small painting boat on the lake rose and fell with the waves, and the people on the boat were terrified, and the scene of Chibi appeared in everyone's minds at the same time.
Xu Xian stood at the bow of the boat, and also felt a palpitation, but it was not because of this wave, not to mention his cultivation, even the pearl that Long Jun gave him also had the effect of avoiding water. He felt the condensation of the power of the water spirit in the lake, and something must have cast a spell in the water to sink the ship. Xu Xian also sacrificed the Water Spirit Bead (the name he gave to Mingzhu) to mobilize spiritual power to calm the waves of this water.
The surface of the water was really quiet, but it immediately churned even more, Xu Xian knew that his cultivation in this area was not deep, and if he guessed correctly, it was almost impossible to compete with this water spirit with foreign objects.
Xu Xian gritted his teeth, put the water spirit bead in his mouth, jumped down from the bow of the boat, and plunged into the turquoise lake. The screams of the boat pierced through a layer of water, becoming less shrill and more indistinct and somewhat ridiculous. But Xu Xian knew that if he waited a little longer, this boatload of people would also be going to make dumplings.
Holding the water spirit bead in his mouth, sure enough, his breathing was unhindered, and under the effect of the power of the water spirit, only by gently waving his hand and stretching his legs, he could swim out a large section violently. Xu Xian, who is already a good swimmer, is even more agile at the moment.
Was the ancient West Lake so deep?
This was a thought that Xu Xian was wandering in Xu Xian's mind, and he felt that he had dived more than ten meters, but he hadn't reached the end yet. Or is it a specially made nest?
The sunlight could no longer penetrate such depths, and there was only a glimmer of light in the water. The cries for help from the ship were no longer heard, only the sound of rushing water rolling in the ears.
Suddenly, a pair of golden eyes lit up in the dark lake water, and Xu Xian felt a great coercion, this coercion was not any spell, but the instinctive fear of the lower creatures facing the higher creatures - Long Wei.
Xu Xian's eyes shone with golden light, and he finally saw the creature in the water.
Snow-colored antlers, white lion's mane, silver fish scales, and a ten-meter-long snake body that snaked deftly in the water, dragon, a real dragon. At this moment, the pair of metal ball-like eyes were staring at Xu Xian, as if they were a little excited, and they seemed to be hesitating. But it couldn't be so much, the dragon opened its big mouth and pounced on Xu Xian.
The water is surging, and the white dragon is amazingly fast. Xu Xian instantly understood that fighting such creatures in the water was simply looking for death. It was as if he was entangled in the current, but the other party seemed to have no obstacles, and he was helped by the water waves, which was amazingly fast.
Xu Xian only had time to shout: "Do you still want to eat steamed buns?"
The word "Baozi!" seemed to have a wonderful power, the light in the white dragon's eyes flashed, and the slender body twisted dexterously, coiling around Xu Xian a few times, a big dragon head stared at the little Xu Xian, and let out an exclamation: "Xu Xian!?"
