Chapter 8 Truth in the Midst of Tribulation

"I'm fine, it's just that I can't move. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Xie An's voice was a little out of shape, because he didn't dare to use his throat to make a sound, for fear of involving the muscles and veins, so he made such a vague voice, but fortunately, Xue Ming understood.

"It's okay for you to talk like you're weak, I see you haven't been to the cafeteria for a day, you must be hungry now, I've prepared food and water for you, you open the door and I'll bring you in." ”

Xue Ming, who has always liked to joke with Xie An, was weak to this extent when he heard Xie An's voice, and he also understood that Xie An's condition was definitely not good, and he didn't care about making fun of him anymore, so he wanted to go in to see Xie An's condition in a hurry.

"You open the door yourself, I can't move now, you know how to open the door. ”

Xie An's door was locked from the inside, but Xue Ming and Xie An, who had slept in the same room with Xie An for many years, also had their own methods.

Sometimes Xue Ming would sneak out to play at night, and Xie An locked the door in this way, only putting down the crossbar of the bolted door but not inserting the bolt that fixed the crossbar, in this case, he only needed to stretch out a stick from the crack in the door to pull the crossbar up, and the door opened naturally.

After opening the door, seeing Xie An lying on the bed and weak, Xue Ming felt a little distressed for no reason, but he reproached in his mouth: "You kid don't want to die? ”

Xie An pulled the corners of his lips slightly, showed a difficult smile, and said, "Hehe, you look like a resentful little daughter-in-law in the boudoir." ”

Xue Ming heard that Xie An was still in the mood to joke, and his hanging heart was put down, and said: "Go and go, you kid is very heartless, Lao Tzu looks at you pitiful and is too lazy to bully you." ”

Xie An said: "If I don't practice hard now, I will lose my life when I really fight the enemy." You know, my natural capital is not very good, how can I catch up with others if I don't work hard, and how can I get revenge. ”

Xie An's words made Xue Ming sigh again, and said, "What you said is not bad, but you can't work so hard." Every day I see you busy with your feet on the ground, I miss the old days, when I had to be busy as a handyman, but after all, it was more leisurely than this. You're still too deeply affected by your master's hatred, and you've pushed yourself too hard. ”

Xie An shook his head slightly, and it was strange to say, Xie An's current movements were invisible, and his words were vague, but Xue Ming had no difficulty communicating with him at all, it seemed that with just one look, Xue Ming could understand Xie An's heart, this may be the brotherhood cultivated after living together for so many years.

"I thought I was just bent on revenge, but after this month of cultivation, I realized that cultivation was so tempting to me. During this period of time, I lived a very fulfilling and happy life, and when I was cultivating, I even forgot the pain that hatred brought me, but the joy brought by this cultivation made me keep working hard, as if I was born to cultivate, and all this was so natural. ”

Xie An said, although there was no expression on his face, those bright eyes made Xue Ming understand Xie An's obsession with cultivation.

Xue Ming shook his head and said, "Okay, since I know that you are not still living in the pain of hatred, and that you are enjoying this kind of time, then I am relieved." Anyway, I don't have any feelings about cultivation, sending me to Luoyun Sect is just my parents' intention, I just want to find an opportunity to return to the mortal world, marry a wife and have children, and live my own comfortable life, this is the biggest pursuit of my life. ”

Xie An has long understood this point of Xue Ming, after all, everyone has their own aspirations, he likes a life of cultivation, Xue Ming likes an ordinary and comfortable life, these are their own choices, as a brother, of course he hopes that Xue Ming can live the life he wants.

"Don't worry, when I find an opportunity, I will help you leave the sect and return to the mortal world!" Xie An said with a swear.

Xue Ming smiled, he understood that the difficulty of breaking away from the Falling Cloud Sect was not less difficult than entering the Falling Cloud Sect, for the Falling Cloud Sect, loyalty to the sect was the first priority, so there was a repeated admonition that betraying the sect would be arrested, so it was not a simple matter for ordinary disciples to want to leave the sect safely.

However, he also knew that Xie An, as long as Xie An made a promise, then he would definitely try his best to fulfill it, Xie An had nothing to say in his mouth, Xie An was able to make such a big promise for him, Xue Ming's heart was full of gratitude.

After laughing, Xue Ming patted his thigh and said, "Oh, look at it, it's all because I want to tell you these things and forget about business." Hurry up, the food and water I just brought you are still hot, hurry up and eat. ”

As he spoke, Xue Ming raised the basket he was carrying, which contained a few white steamed buns and a pot of water.

Xie An shook his head and said, "I can't move now, let alone eat, as long as I move a little, it hurts, just feed me some water." ”

Xue Ming shook his head and said, "How can you do it without eating, this person is iron and steel, do you think you can directly ascend to immortal without eating or drinking after cultivating for a month?" You wait, I'll boil some gruel for you." ”

After that, Xue Ming didn't wait for Xie An's reaction, he directly put down the basket and rushed out, and after a while, he cautiously reappeared in front of Xie An with a bowl of gruel.

"Come, lie still, keep your mouth open. ”

Xue Ming scooped up a spoonful of gruel with a spoon, blew it, and when the temperature was almost up, he handed it to Xie An's mouth, and then poured it in, but he didn't spill a drop. Thin porridge is a liquid food, Xie An only needs to receive it passively, no need to chew, so there is no big problem, and soon, half a bowl of gruel arrived in Xie An's stomach like this, and Xie An's spirit is much better.

As soon as his spirit was good, Xie An began to yobs: "I said that you are like a yellow flower girl, you are really like, even the servants serve so well, I estimate that if you can't marry a daughter-in-law when you return to the mortal world in the future, it must be because others think you are not good enough." ”

Feeling that Xie An's spirit was much better, Xue Ming was also happy, so he put the bowl to the side and said, "Yo he, you'll be proud when you're full, right, give a sweetness and kick your nose in the face, I'll ask you if I haven't fed you for the past few days, are you going to starve to death or what?"

Xie An hurriedly said: "Wrong, I was wrong, Brother Xue should not be like a junior brother." ”

Xue Ming rolled his eyes and said, "It's uncle." ”

"I was wrong, Uncle Xue. ”

"Then tell me, is your Uncle Xue the most gentleman in the world. ”

"Yes, yes, how can anyone in the world have such a man as Uncle Xue, Uncle Xue is hundreds of times better than my father, if Uncle Xue can't marry a daughter-in-law, then all men in the world are singles. ”

The two of them were just crazy like this, time seemed to go back to a month ago, even if time and identity changed, the friendship between Xie An and Xue Ming seemed to transcend everything and never deteriorate.

......

In the next few days, Xie An lay in bed every day to practice the precise control of the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi in his body, and Xue Ming had another task of delivering food and feeding porridge to Xie An in addition to his daily chores.

Time passed like a stream, and finally, Xie An's muscle damage was much better, and he was finally able to move on the ground. Although he still couldn't recover to a perfect state, he was able to barely continue his cultivation.

After this period of practice, he has been able to accurately control two-thirds of the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi in the dantian, and because the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi in the dantian has been condensed, now Xie An's Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi in the dantian has only reached half of the volume of his dantian, that is to say, Xie An can now accurately control one-third of the volume of the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi in the second layer of the condensation stage.

Although it sounded a bit regressive to Xie An's ability to accurately control half of the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi in the Dantian during the first layer of Qi Condensation, considering the difference in the concentration of Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi between the second and first layers of Qi Condensation, this had to be said to be a big improvement, and it was not in vain that he spent all of his time every day these days on this training.

After his body recovered, Xue Ming was liberated, and Xie An immediately began to practice without stopping for many days.

Now he practiced his body in the morning, changed to practice the serpentine sword technique in the afternoon, and only cultivated his qi in the evening.

Everything has returned to its original appearance, Xie An's days are like a monotonous repetition every day, the only thing that has changed is Xie An's strength, his body is getting stronger and stronger, his swordsmanship is becoming more and more proficient, his dantian is becoming more and more full, all of this looks so beautiful, it seems that as long as Xie An is given enough time, Xie An can grow into a master of cultivation smoothly in this way.

......

But reality is never as rosy as ideal, and Xie An's peaceful life lasted for three months before being shattered by an order.

The reason why the Luoyun Sect recruited formal disciples from the miscellaneous disciples for the first time in history was precisely because the Luoyun Sect had suffered the most powerful foreign invasion since its establishment, and the strength of this enemy was far beyond the expectations of the Luoyun Sect.

Not long ago, the enemy seemed to have reinforcements again, and the Luoyun Sect was suddenly at a disadvantage, and the defensive front was also losing one after another, and a large area of territory had fallen.

At this time, the Luoyun Sect had to issue a convening order in the territory, summoning the large and small sects within a radius of a hundred miles to send elites to the front line to fight against foreign enemies with the Luoyun Sect.

In fact, at the beginning of the war, the Luoyun Sect issued a summoning order, but within a radius of 100 miles, the Luoyun Sect has always been the dominant family, and those large and small sects can only pick up some resources that the Luoyun Sect looks down on in order to develop. Cultivation resources are like this, and so are disciples, as long as they are good, they will be preempted by the Luoyun Sect.

Therefore, those large and small sects are far inferior to the Luoyun Sect in terms of the number and quality of disciples, and some sects finally received a few talented disciples without the knowledge of the Luoyun Sect, and they are all cultivated as treasures, where will they really obey the call of the Luoyun Sect and send these precious sect elites to the front line.

However, at the point where the war has reached the point where it has reached the present, many of the territories that originally belonged to the Luoyun Sect have been lost, and there are also some small sects that were once attached to the Luoyun Sect on those territories. The people of those sects did not respond to the call of the Luoyun Sect at first and sent reinforcements, but they were bent on protecting their lives, and surrendered to the invading enemy one after another after the fall of the territory. But the fate that awaited these surrenderers was slaughtered, and these small sects were annihilated in the long river of history.

After learning the outcome of these small sects, those sects that were originally thinking about the same as these sects finally couldn't sit still, and after the Luoyun Sect launched the convening order again, these sects sent out the elites in the sect one after another.

It seems that the enemy who came to attack seems to be adhering to the purpose of killing and unforgiving to the immortal cultivators in this area, and now they have no other way but to unite with the Luoyun Sect and survive together, otherwise when the Luoyun Sect is destroyed, they will inevitably end up with cold lips and teeth.

But after the elites of these small sects came out, all kinds of situations appeared in those places that were originally intimidated by these small sects, and the robbers and bandits who were originally timid were extremely rampant.

These bandits are not all bandits in the ordinary sense, many of them are bandit gangs led by one or a few cultivators. Those bandit leaders are either disciples who have been expelled from the mountain gate by some sects because of their mistakes, or half-hung immortal cultivators who have obtained some cultivation exercises from somewhere, but these bandits are definitely not something that can be solved by those official governments composed entirely of mortals, so people in the mortal world have turned to the local cultivation sect for help.

Some of the slightly larger sects were fine, and there were still some disciples left in the sect, and these turmoil were quickly suppressed.

But those small sects are anxious about this, these small sects have few disciples, and after they are sent, they are even more empty in the door, and they have no choice but to watch the local area being made miserable and disgraced by these rats.

In desperation, these small sects had no choice but to send a letter of help to the big brother Luoyun Sect, and Xie An's task this time was to eliminate the rampant bandits near a small sect.

It is said that there are quite a few bandits in this group, there are more than 100 people, among which there are two leaders of cultivators who have cultivated to a fair level, and this group of bandits has done all kinds of evil, and they are all extremely evil people who have committed heinous crimes.

But now the territory of the Luoyun Sect can be described as full of wolf smoke, and manpower is needed everywhere, so Xie An can only dispatch four people for this mission, one is Kong Yan'er, who Xie An is familiar with, one is an official disciple who joined the sect during this year's general election, and the other is a new official disciple who was selected from the miscellaneous disciples like Xie An.

Needless to say, Kong Yan'er has reached the early stage of the sixth layer of condensation, and her strength is quite good, so letting her lead the team is also to prevent Xie An and their group of fledgling boys from messing up the task, after all, the other party still has a gang of bandits with two cultivators.

The official disciple who was selected during the general election was called Liu Miao, and his qualifications were okay, it was said that he had just broken through to the third layer of Qi Condensation some time ago, and his cultivation speed had reached the general level of a formal disciple, but it was not top-notch. Because the strength of those truly perverted level geniuses has long been recognized by the sect, and after the war entered the white-hot stage, they have all been sent to the front line to kill the enemy, and this Liu Miao is still on standby in the sect, which is enough to explain some problems.

As for the other official disciple named Zhou Li who was as new as Xie An, his strength was not enough, only the poor late stage of the first layer of condensation qi failed to touch the threshold of breaking through to the second layer of condensation, and of course he had not learned any fighting skills, Xie An even doubted that the sect sent such a person out to carry out a mission with them just so that he could visit and play.

As for Xie An, after three months of cultivation, his body has also become stronger, and his body refining level has reached the early stage of the second layer of meat refining, and the impact of the small waterfall where he first refined his body can no longer have any effect on him, and his whole body has become more tenacious.

The level of Qi cultivation is also close to the peak of the second layer of Qi Condensation, and he can also accurately control three-quarters of the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi in the dantian at the same time, for this precise control, Xie An has now practiced his experience, and he is becoming more and more handy in practice.

And that serpentine swordsmanship, because Xie An had practiced swordsmanship in Qianjin Mountain before, so he got started quickly, and now Xie An's serpentine swordsmanship cannot be said to be perfect, but he can also master the essence of it, and the power of swordsmanship can also be exerted three or four percent, this mission has become a good opportunity for Xie An to test his cultivation results.
