In the past few days, Hong Yi has lived in this valley deep in the West Mountain, playing with tens of thousands of classics, and has the intention of forgetting all the troubles of the world.

The collection of books in the stone chamber of the valley is richer than that of any rich and wealthy family, except for the library of the palace, there is almost no comparison. Poor Hong Yi has been reading for more than ten years, borrowing books and copying books to read, where can he encounter such a situation? There is a room full of books for him to read.

"Did you empty the library of this great Zen temple? How did you bring out so many books?"

After reading the books for three days, he finally sorted a small half of the books one by one, and took advantage of the leisure time to rest, Hong Yi took his soul out of his shell and chatted with the three little white foxes.

The three little white foxes Xiaosang, Xiaoshu, Xiaofei and Hong Yi chatted happily, every day the elder brother was long, and the elder brother was short and shouted. It's closer than its brothers and sisters. The fox's innocence made Hong Yi feel deeply in his heart.

"There are a lot of books in the Great Zen Temple, we only brought a small half out, and I also listened to my parents, but they were arrested on the way from Zhongzhou. ”

Xiaoshu was very sad when he mentioned his parents.

"From Zhongzhou to Yujing, thousands of miles away, a litter of foxes moved here, and the dangers encountered on the way were not a little bit, especially Xiao Sang, Xiao Shu, Xiao Fei They are pure white foxes. There is no miscellaneous hair on the body, such a fox, even if it is fur, is worth a hundred gold. ”

Of course, Hong Yi knew it in his heart.

Pure white fox fur, the value of which is very high in the market.

"God-given foxes have luxurious fur, but they have not been given the means to protect themselves, hey, but fortunately, Xiao Sang, Xiao Shu, Xiao Fei They finally have some means of self-preservation, unlike me, I have no power to restrain the chicken. It's time to practice martial arts. For the divine soul to come out of the shell, to cultivate to the point of exorcism, it is definitely not an overnight thing. It is recorded in the Taoist scriptures that cultivators who do not have a deep foundation, or who do not have a profound method of exercising their souls, will not be able to cultivate the realm of exorcism throughout their lives. ”

In the past three days, Hong Yi has been familiar with the classics, and he has also understood the ghosts and gods that many readers have "outside".

Cultivating the ten levels of God, Fixing the Spirit, Out of the Shell, Night Travel, Rì Travel, Exorcism, Manifestation, Possession, Seizure, Thunder Tribulation, and Yang God. Hong Yi also probably knew some clues.

He can now calm down and come out of the shell, but it is only the preliminary stage of cultivating kung fu, and it is not even considered to enter the hall.

After the soul comes out of the shell, the next step is to go out and wander away from the body.

It's like a person who has left a ship and launched into the water, gradually becoming familiar with the water.

There are also many restrictions on night tours, such as starting only in the dark and windless night, step by step after the spirit is strong, and then gradually wandering in the moonlight night wind.

After wandering at night, it's time to wander.

However, wandering in the white rì is much more dangerous than wandering at night.

The rì light is violent, and the ordinary gods and souls cannot withstand the baptism of the rì light. It can be described as seeing the light and dying.

Wandering out of the shell during the day is equivalent to leaving the boat and swimming in the sea when the wind and waves are coming.

This is also the reason why there are generally no ghosts and ghosts in broad daylight.

When the spirit can wander in the daytime and is not afraid of the light, it is already powerful to a certain extent.

When it is strong enough to swim, the spirit grows further and can drive objects. At such a point, a cultivator will be able to drive a sword to assassinate, like a bow and crossbow. With this, you can protect yourself.

Before that, cultivators still had to rely on their fists and feet to protect themselves.

And the stronger the body, the longer the soul can come out of the shell, like Hong Yi's own body, the soul will be out of the shell for a long time, and the body will gradually weaken. If you come out of the shell for a day or two, your body will die of thirst and starvation, and if you don't die, you will get seriously ill.

Hong Yi read the Taoist Sutra for three days, and he also understood the degree of exorcism in the art of cultivating immortals. As for the later manifestations, possession, seizure, thunder tribulation, and Yang Shinto Sutra are not recorded.

However, it is recorded that there are many immortal cultivators who can't practice the spirit exorcism in their lifetime.

"There are a few preliminary exercises in the "Martial Arts", so I still have time to practice. If you can train your body to be strong, your soul can come out of the shell for a longer time. ”

Hong Yi made up his mind to start practicing martial arts. The Daqian Dynasty established the country with martial arts, governed the country with literature, and was able to be an official and a knight with martial arts. This is indispensable for Hong Yi, who wants to win fame for his mother.

Moreover, the cultivation of immortals and martial arts is closely related. Hong Yi read the Taoist Sutra for three days, but he knew that the tricks and movements before the soul came out of the shell were not useless, but they were some complicated things about exercising the physical body and breathing methods. It is also used for exercise.

In the Hou Mansion, he had no chance to practice martial arts. Now, here, there is finally a free opportunity.

Although practicing martial arts is not such a simple thing, Hong Yi does not want to learn advanced martial arts, but wants to practice his body stronger and take his time step by step.

Hong Yi knew that he was still young and had enough time.

"Take the imperial examination, gain fame, make meritorious contributions, and be knighted. These are all things to be done step by step. In short, you have to make yourself strong first and change your powerless state. ”

..................................

The first heavy snow in the 60th year of the Great Qian Dynasty finally came.

The snow was very heavy, and it was scattered all over the place, and the cotton wool was pulled, and the clumps were clumped and the cakes were caked.

The west mountain of Yujing City is blowing the "white-haired wind", and the weather is cold and scary.

However, in such weather, there is a quiet taste in the deep mountains and old forests and valleys. It is best for reading, writing, and playing with knowledge.

It was cold outside, dripping with ice, but it was warm in the stone chamber where the valley fox lived.

Because there were several large copper basins burning charcoal fires.

Cotton curtains were also hung at the door of the stone chamber to block the cold wind.

There are several fist-sized openings on both sides of the entire stone chamber, which seem to have been dug by hand. It is cleverly carved to let in the light shè and breathe, but not to the wind.

Hong Yi was sitting in front of the stone room studying and figuring out the "Martial Scripture".

On the other side, Xiaoshu, Xiaosang, and Xiaofei were cleaning up around a large clay pot, and the clay pot exuded a smell of chicken.

It's in stewed chicken.

The chicken is a good pheasant, and the pine nut fruit is eaten in the mountain, and the stewed fragrance has the fragrance of pine nuts.

This is a pheasant that the foxes caught in the mountains while it was snowing. said that it was for Hong Yi to add food.

The stone room is stocked with grain, oil, salt, firewood, rice, sauce and vinegar and other seasonings. I'm not afraid of heavy snow blocking the mountains.

After living in the valley for a few days, Hong Yi knew that this group of foxes had completely escaped from the life of birds and beasts that drank blood, not only reading and learning words, but also learning human language, learning to plant, cooking, eating oil and salt, sleeping on the beds made in the cave, and cleaning and bathing every day, everything was cleaned up.

There were several smaller rooms at the other end of the stone room, and in the room, some foxes were sleeping lazily on the ground, looking lazy.

Although there is a litter of foxes, there is no fishy sāo taste, and it will not affect Hong Yi's reading.

Although Tu Lao, the old fox, was in the stone room, he was motionless, obviously his soul wandered out of the shell.

On such a snowy day, this old fox, who has a deep practice, is about to go out on a cruise, one is to prevent hunters from hunting in the snow, and the other is to exercise the power of the divine soul.

This old fox has cultivated to the point of rì swimming.

"It's hard to practice martial arts, there are so many taboos. Without the guidance of the teacher, it is easy to make a fork by groping on your own. ”

Hong Yi looked at it, closed the "Martial Scripture", and felt a burst of loss in his heart.

In the past few days of reading and figuring, he has roughly understood some principles of martial arts.

Cultivating martial arts is not an easy task, first of all, in terms of diet, there is a lot of exquisiteness. This doesn't count, the structure of a person's body is complex and clever, and if you don't pay attention to it, it will go wrong. The first step is to refine meat, and there are hundreds of techniques and dozens of martial arts recorded in the martial arts, and I don't know who is superior and who is inferior, and whether it will be deformed after practice.

And Hong Yi also understands that the "Martial Scripture" compiled by the Daqian Dynasty is only afraid that there are many untruths in it.

Thinking about it, Hong Yi is not easy to practice.

"It seems that this martial arts is really difficult to start. No wonder the imperial examination of my Daqian Dynasty canceled the art of bow and horse. Ordinary people, where is the opportunity to practice? Or wait for the Yuan Concubine girl to appear, and then ask her for details, and the reader is not ashamed to ask. ”

This group of foxes does not know martial arts, martial arts are aimed at the cultivation of the human body, and they can't cultivate the fox body

Xi shan.

In the midst of the heavy snowfall, a group of people on horseback, with hounds, bows, and luxurious leather cloaks entered the mountains.

This group of people is obviously a prince and nobleman with great status and money.

This is evident from the horses they ride.

Among these horses, the youngest was more than a foot long and eight feet tall, and they spewed strong white gas in the wind and snow, and their eyes were open to the wind and snow, without the slightest fear or cold. The strong and powerful body of the horse, the slender four hooves, the absence of a little squire, and the shiny hair all show that these horses are not an ordinary species.

If it is a person who is good at raising horses in the Daqian Dynasty, it can be seen that these horses are the "fire cloud horses" of the extraterritorial Huoluo country, because the whole body is dark red and runs like a fire cloud, so it is named.

This kind of horse does not eat forage, and has to be raised with eggs mixed with soybeans, and it is very exquisite, in the Daqian Dynasty, such horses must be equipped with three or four grooms, rì night care. It's not something that ordinary people can afford at all.

But this kind of horse is also extremely fast, extremely enduring, carrying people for thousands of miles, and even more understanding people, and never abandoning the master. It is a good thing that the rich princes, Hou and Bo families do not hesitate to spend thousands of gold to get.

A group of people who entered the mountain, two men and two women on horseback, and a few people who were thinly dressed, but were not afraid in the cold, followed the horses, these people had cold and arrogant eyes, walked like the wind, and followed the horses without falling behind.

Obviously, these people are all master guards raised by the prince's mansion.

"County Lord, I heard news from the palace the day before yesterday. Concubine Yuan didn't know why she was canonized as the imperial concubine. ”

Among these four people, there is a teenager who is the "Xiaoli Guogong" Jing Yuxing.

The other woman is Hong Xuejiao.

There is another pair of men and women, who are even more noble and graceful. Both men and women wore pure white fox fur cloaks, and the snow fell on the cloak, and with a slight shake, they all rolled down automatically, like lotus leaf skin that did not stick to water.

This woman is the county lord of Prince Rong in Yujing City, and the title given by the emperor is Yongchūn. Yongchūn county lord.

And that man, who is extremely tall, with a high nose bridge and eagle eyes, although he is not as personable as Jing Yuxing, he has a terrifying temperament all over his body.

This is Yang Tong, the son of Prince Cheng.

"Listening to the news from the eunuchs in the palace, the emperor occasionally asked the concubines, saying that what is the biggest thing in the world, and the concubines did not have a satisfactory answer. ”

Lord Naga Chūn answered Jing Yuxing's question.

Wang, Wang, Wang

At this moment, more than a dozen hounds running in front of them barked violently, and at the same time, these hounds bowed their whole bodies in the midst of barking, and their fur stood straight like porcupines.

Each of these hounds was the size of a calf, with sharp teeth and a fierce demeanor like a lion.

This is a "mastiff", three or four mastiffs can tear a tiger!

Now four pairs of men and women have come out to hunt, bringing more than a dozen mastiffs, showing their desire to win their prey.

"Found a pure fox den?"

Yang Tong, the son of Prince Cheng, raised his hand towards the horse, and a longbow was taken in his hand.

"The pure fox has a spirit, and there are still some means to do it well. But this time it still can't escape the palm of our hand. This group of mastiffs has the ability to see through ghosts. ”
