Sending Xue Qin away, Li Qiyue started to chop bamboo and cut arrows, and nearly 1,000 bamboo arrows were arranged overnight. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 As soon as the next day dawned, he leaned on his back with a bamboo bow and fifty bamboo arrows on the left and right quivers, and headed for the small hillside where the jujube forest was located.

To his surprise, at this time, the monkey did not know where to go, and searched all over the jujube forest, but he did not find a single monkey, he climbed onto a thick jujube tree, meditated and practiced. Just after noon, I heard the squeaking noise of the monkeys from far and near, and after a while, I saw the shadow of the monkey jumping up and down, Li Qiyue sneered, and began to shoot arrows with his bow, he shot arrows while dodging the attack of the monkeys and stones.

An hour later, when the arrows in the two quivers ran out, he fled from the jujube forest in a sweaty sweat and returned to the house to continue his meditation and practice. The next morning, he filled two quivers with arrows and went to the jujube forest, and five days later, when he went to the jujube forest again, the monkeys tried to hide as far away as possible, and occasionally the daring monkeys returned fire with stones, but they no longer posed a threat to him. Ten days later, when all the arrows were used up, the monkeys fled as soon as they saw him.

When Li Qiyue was repairing the hut for Xue Qin, the monkeys took the initiative to approach him and be his subordinate, and he was also happy to call them, which was probably not to fight and not to know each other.

Li Qiyue saw more than 100 monkeys whirling around, so he changed his mind and knocked down the half-built wooden wall just as a demonstration, and the monkeys scrambled to carry large stones, and three days later, a solid stone house was built.

Seeing that Xue Qin did not come back, he occupied the magpie's nest to temporarily occupy this place to practice, and every day he frolicked with the monkeys for an hour.

On this day, while he was meditating, he heard an unusual monkey cry outside the door, so he left the futon and went outside. As soon as he appeared, the monkeys surrounded him, and it was only then that he realized that one of the monkeys was completely blue and could not survive.

He was taken aback, after all, he didn't know this group of monkeys for a while, and he still had some feelings, so he hurriedly stepped forward to check, and found that it had a bite wound on its left front leg, which should be bitten by insects and beasts, and its virulence was not light, he took out a gourd from his arms, and there was a Biling pill in the gourd, which was one of the several pills that Mu Tianren left him, and took a pill and put it into the monkey's mouth, and about an hour later, the monkey was alive again.

Some of the monkeys came up and took him by the horns, and he guessed the monkey's intentions, and he packed up his bow and arrows, and the antlers and knives went with the group of monkeys.

Walking all the way, about twenty miles away, the originally spacious valley like a gourd mouth became narrower and narrower, and later only allowed one person to pass, and both sides were seven or eight zhang high cliffs, which was extremely difficult to walk.

Three hours later, there was a basin in front of which covered an area of about five hectares and was surrounded by mountains on all sides, and countless towering trees almost covered the entire basin, passing through the big trees, and coming to the edge of the waterhole half an acre in size, and those monkeys pointed at the waterhole, but they did not dare to move forward.

Li Qiyue vigilantly took out his bow and arrows and prepared to attack, the weeds around the waterhole were overgrown, and almost all of them were lodging, this place should be where the monkeys played in the water. The water pool was clear and waveless, but it was bottomless, and he looked at it for a while, but he didn't see anything abnormal, so he found a clean stone not far from the water hole and sat cross-legged on it to practice.

When it was just dark, he heard the frightened cries of the monkeys, and when he looked up, he saw the monkeys scratching their ears and cheeks around him, and followed the eyes of the monkeys, and found that there were ripples in the pool at some point, and by the dim light of the dusk, he found that there was a big black thing on the water that was moving.

So he drew his bow and arrow, and without hesitation, he shot the arrow, only to hear a low "poof", and the water surface rolled for a while, and then he regained his calm, and when he got closer and took a closer look, he found that there was a crimson snake five or six feet long lying on the water, which had died of anger at this time.

Li Qiyue had long thought that it should be this thing, but he didn't expect to solve this snake so easily, and since then he has a little confidence in his archery skills. When the monkeys saw that the long snake was dead, they immediately chattered around him and danced happily, Li Qiyue wanted to leave, but the monkeys still held the corner of his clothes and did not let him leave, because it was already dark at this time, and he was still sitting cross-legged on the stone just now to practice.

Early the next morning, the fog was rolling in the basin, and he could barely see his fingers, but he heard the chirping of a group of monkeys, and the leading monkey came to his side, and led him by the corner of his clothes to the pool, and before he got close to the pool, he saw a shining red light from the depths of the pool, although it was faint, but he could see clearly, could there be another mystery in this pool?

When the fog cleared and the red light disappeared, he took off his clothes, held a deer antler knife in each hand, and leaped into the pool, into which several monkeys also jumped. The monkey's swimming skills are good, potential his front to lead the way, deep seven or eight zhang deep, a hole appeared on the Tan wall, swam into the cave, found that in addition to the entrance in the water, not far into the hole to see a diagonal upward Yongdao, the monkey who led the way shook off the water droplets on his body, and jumped around him excitedly.

The cave is not deep, the walls are smooth, it should be excavated by hand, and there is a pearl-like thing on the top of the cave that is shining red, so the cave is very bright, maybe close to the bottom of the water, and there is a damp feeling in the cave. After a general look, there was almost no arrangement in the cave, only a skeleton exposed to the air, the same as the skeleton he had seen before, all of them were golden yellow, there were many broken marks on the bones, and there was a silver-white ring on the middle finger of the left hand of the skeleton, he took off the ring, looked left and right, and did not see anything famous, so he put the ring on the middle finger of his left hand.

Just when he gathered the bones, he found that there was a thumbnail-sized pink gourd under the bones, and an orange-red thin line was tied around the neck of the gourd, he took the small gourd in his hand and turned it over, but he didn't understand its texture, even the thin line didn't know its texture, he didn't think so much, so he put the thin wire around his neck, and the small gourd was hanging on his chest.

He wondered in his heart, how could there be two golden bones not too far apart, could it be that they were fighting with each other and dying of their injuries at the same time?

The monkeys who came in together were jumping up and down around an object, and Li Qiyue had already found half of the stone mortar buried in the ground near the corner of the wall, which seemed to be a stone mortar, but it didn't seem to be a stone mortar, like a spring, which was rolling outward, and the spring water in the stone mortar seemed to never overflow.

The monkeys poked their heads into the water to drink water, and some of the monkeys jumped into the stone mortar to play in the water, making a lot of jubilation, and when they saw that Li Qiyue wanted to leave, two of the monkeys were busy holding the corners of his clothes and pulling him to the side of the stone mortar. Li Qiyue drove out the monkey in the stone mortar, put his hand into the spring water, the spring water was cold to the bone, bowed a handful of water to wash his face, and immediately refreshed.

He vaguely felt that there seemed to be something unusual about this stone mortar, he sat cross-legged next to the stone mortar and felt it carefully, and finally he found that this stone mortar seemed to be exuding a kind of qi that was the same as his dantian, so he drove out the group of monkeys and stayed by the stone mortar by himself, four days later, when he was so hungry that his legs were weak and about to pass out, the leading monkey probed his head and walked over, he beckoned, the monkey handed over two sweet potatoes, Li Qiyue unceremoniously ate them cleanly, and every two or three days in the future, there were monkeys to send food.

Day after day, soon a month passed, on this day, Li Qiyue opened his eyes and laughed, it turned out that in the past month, he had gained a lot, one of the gains, he found that the sheepskin secret was actually one of the many practice qigong methods, as for whether there was another mystery in it, but it is unknown; the other harvest, he finally figured out that the purpose of his previous meditation and practice was actually to absorb the spiritual energy between heaven and earth and turn it into his own, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was originally very thin, and unevenly distributed, daily meditation was quite boring, and the effect was very small, but other than that, there was no other possibility at all; the biggest gainThe aura of the place where this stone mortar is located is more than a hundred times more than a thousand times that of ordinary places, and after nearly a month of qi training, he can clearly feel that his dantian qi is more than twice as strong as before.

If he continued to practice, he believed that he would gain even more.

When he left the cave, he was quite reluctant, but he had to go back, when he was about to reach the bamboo forest, he hesitated, took off the ring on his hand, and hung it on his chest with the little gourd, he didn't want anyone else to know the secret of the stone mortar, after all, he still understood the truth of the guilt, maybe not only this reason, as for whether there were other reasons, he didn't want to think about it and didn't dare to think about it.

When Mu Tianren's hand left Li Qiyue's wrist vein, he was extremely surprised and said, "Qiyue, if you are not a teacher during this period, do you have any other adventures?"

Li Qiyue tried his best to calm the panic in his heart and said: "The apprentice has always followed the master's teachings and practiced, and never dared to slack off!"

"You have made progress in the past, it is indeed the reward of your extraordinary penance, and you are a teacher in your eyes, but your current progress is no less than that of a person who has two spiritual roots in heaven and earth, and this kind of person can not meet one of them, which can be said to be met but not sought, and you only have two spiritual roots of water and wood looming, in fact, it is no different from ordinary people, and even worse than ordinary people, how can you make such rapid progress? ”

When Li Qiyue heard this, he just lowered his head and said nothing, he didn't dare to look at Mu Tianren's eyes at all, it seemed that as soon as he raised his head, he would tell the secret of the stone mortar, and several times, he wanted to tell the existence of the stone mortar, but he didn't say it after all.

Mu Tianren took out two sheepskins from his arms and said: "These are the other two sheepskin secrets, you continue to practice according to this, this time I have important things to deal with for the teacher, maybe it will take a little longer to go out, two years at the earliest, five or ten years at the latest." ”

In the end, he patted Li Qiyue on the shoulder and said, "As a teacher, I value you a lot. ”

A few days later, Mu Tianren dropped a few bottles of pills and left.
