427 Sorrow

Su Mu took a closer look at this stone room, which was about two meters wide and a few feet deep. The stone wall is very neatly excavated, with sharp edges and corners.

There are a lot of weeds and dead branches scattered on the ground, and there are scattered bird droppings that have long dried up in the corners, which shows that birds often rest here.

Other than that, there was nothing else in the stone chamber.

He has been locked up at home by his father since he was a child, and he has not gone out for more than ten years, so he has long been accustomed to loneliness, and he has made up his mind that he only meditates and practices qi every day, regardless of what he thinks.

He sat down cross-legged facing the wall and slowly closed his eyes.

When I opened my eyes, I looked outside the cave, and it was already twilight.

He leaned in the deepest corner of the stone chamber, staring intently at the small piece of sky, all of which came to a standstill, except for the occasional sound of the wind blowing into the stone chamber, as if the world had stopped moving.

A meal every seven days is definitely a serious matter for Su Mu, who has just entered the Immortal Gate, and he is not without worries, after seven days, whether the Hollow Dao Master will be able to see himself, or whether he can see his living self.

The first day was easy, after all, when he first came, he was full of plans for how to spend the next month, if he thought about it, he did not make a mistake, and he did not know where to repent, but his heart was depressed with some indignation and unwillingness, so that he became extremely empty.

The second day was fine, but it felt like it was unusually long, and the sky seemed to be diluted in color, and I couldn't wait for it to get dark for a long time.

On the third day, Su Mu woke up painfully from a dream, the beating of drums in his abdomen was like a non-stop, there was no comfortable place in his body, and there was only one thought of satiety in his heart, and he earnestly hoped that the Hollow Daoist would be able to sympathize with himself and bring the meal early.

Until the middle of the day, only one colored bird flew by at the entrance of the cave. Know that hollowness does not give mercy. Anxious to shout. This annoyance made me feel more and more hungry, and I wanted to grit my teeth and jump into the abyss in search of food.

He stood at the entrance of the cave, overlooking the cliff, and it was strange that he would not fall down without breaking his bones and blurring his flesh and blood.

The probe looks to the left and then to the right. He turned his head to the left again, and his eyes burst with a blazing light, as joy as nectar after a long drought.

It turned out that a few meters away from the left side of the cave entrance, there was a wild jujube tree, which produced dozens of green jujubes, which was not refreshing, but in Zhao Wuming's eyes, it was as straight as a jade plate of delicacies, and even the branches and leaves on the side looked verdant.

He pressed one hand against the stone wall in the cave. grabbed the wild jujube with one hand, knowing that it was far away. But he still stretched out his hand, and refused to take it back. While desperately grasping with his hands, he tried to find a foothold on the cliff wall with his feet, and finally found a recess that could accommodate half a foot, and he put his body on that foot without thinking about it, so that the whole body moved out of the stone chamber and was completely attached to the cliff facing the abyss, which was already extremely dangerous.

Where can Su Mu take care of these, he only has the wild dates in his eyes, and he wants to get them quickly.

He clasped his hands in the cracks of the stones, stepped on a new foothold, and got closer to the date tree, and his heart was ecstatic, and he could get it by taking two more steps.

Wanting to make Zhi dizzy, Su Mu did not hesitate to step on a stone that only exposed the stone cliff, he stood on the sharp stone with his toes, and as soon as his other foot was raised, he heard a slight crisp sound, the sharp stone was overwhelmed, and it was broken by the roots, it could bear more than a hundred years of ups and downs, but it could not withstand a greedy footstep.

Su Mu screamed, his body fell straight down like an arrow off the string, and he heard the wind whistling and rattling in his ears.

He closed his eyes, folded his arms around his chest, and his face twisted strangely, waiting for fate to judge him.

Suddenly, I felt a softness under my feet, and I was stabbed in the leg a few times, and I didn't care about the pain, and when I looked up, it was a lush bush, and I went straight through.

This time, it reminded Su Mu, and he hurriedly looked down, and sure enough, there were many leafy bushes growing on the cliff wall below, because they were born on the stone wall, the rhizomes were not nutritious, and the trunks could not be extended outward, and they all grew together, and each tree was like a round hairball. was about to be one, Su Mu grabbed and kicked, did not grasp the branches, still fell rapidly, through seven or eight tree balls in a row, on an inconspicuous small tree, Zhao Wuming was stopped and hit by the waist, the huge impact almost made him faint in pain, his viscera was displaced, and he screamed in pain. wanted to hold his stomach, but his body was crooked, so frightened that he quickly grabbed the trunk of the tree and almost fell into the abyss again.

He wanted to lift his breath and jump up and sit on the trunk of the tree, so he could not lift his hands on it like this, but he couldn't lift it in one breath, and struggled several times, but to no avail. The body was already weak, hanging from a tree in mid-air, all the weight was condensed in his hands, and he didn't dare to let go, it was painful.

Just when Su Mu was crying out and begging for someone to come to his rescue, he noticed that on the trunk of the tree he was holding with both hands, there was a bright silk thread slowly drooping, and at the end hung a spider the size of a baby's fist, with a vermilion body and two big brown eyes staring at Zhao Wuming tightly.

"No, it's really a disaster, a long drought and a scorching sun, such a big red spider, it's no wonder that it's not poisonous. I didn't fall to my death, I was going to be poisoned. Su Mu secretly complained, staring at the spider in front of him timidly, and completely forgot about the ancient warlord Huang Xu when his life was at stake.

"Why am I so unlucky, I have been locked up at home for ten years, and I have been tortured in the Holy Netherworld Sect with a dilemma of life and death, and I finally came to the Emei Sect, isn't it just to be punished and hungry for a few days, why do I want to pick that wild date!" Su Mu cried and muttered to himself with a sad face.

"Brother Spider, raise your noble hand and change it to another prey. I have never done anything bad, and I will never be, I promise you, be a good person for the rest of your life!"

"I'm not Brother Spider, so you might as well call me Sister Spider. ”

The broom in Su Mu's hand couldn't help but tighten his grip, and asked vigilantly: "Who is here to answer, please show up." ”

The voice seemed to smile coquettishly, and said, "You have been watching me for a long time, but you still don't know where I am, what a fool." ”

Su Mu was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth, looked at the spider hanging in the air in a daze, and said, "Hugh said that you were talking to me?"

"Don't be surprised, I'm talking. I'm here to thank you, I was ambushed by a group of poisonous spiders just now, I was trapped and couldn't move, and I was about to be eaten by them, and you came down from the sky to save me. You are my benefactor. ”

"Am I dreaming? Spiders can talk?"

The spider said: "I have been practicing here for five hundred years. If it's a dream. Then this dream is too long. ”

"Five hundred years of cultivation? Then you don't become a demon, you have an immortal body?"

The spider replied with a smile: "I was here before the founding of Yipin Zhenren, and then I listened to his lectures and sermons outside the Buddhist hall every day. After many years, he has survived in the world, not declining or old. All the same kind of people died, but I was the only one, and I was afraid that I would die alone. ”

Su Mu said innocently: "How come, there are so many spiders in the world, you can see your own kind everywhere, with your longevity of five hundred years, they still don't worship you as a god." ”

The spider snorted, "How can those mundane creatures be worthy of my kind?" Our vein is called the magic bead, but it is a pity that it does not continue to reproduce. I'm the only one left, and when I'm dead, there will be no more orbs. If you are fortunate enough to achieve positive results and incarnate as a human being, it is the best, but I am afraid that I will be robbed, and my magic beads are not merciful for the heavens, and I am helpless. ”

Su Mu saw that the more he talked, the more sad he became, and comforted: "No, you won't die, you'll be fine for five hundred years, why can't you achieve positive results." ”

Mozhu smiled: "I borrowed your auspicious words." ”

When watching it speak, Su Mu always felt very unreal. But immediately jumped out again, realizing that this qiΔ“ was all true, because he was obviously hanging on a tree trunk on the cliff, and as soon as he let go, he would die. It's going to be very sobering.

Knowing that it was impossible, Su Mu still asked, "Can you pull me up?"

"I have the ability to save you, and I won't wait until now. The content of the words is desperate, but the tone of the magic bead is not pessimistic. Then he said, "I have a sixth sense, and it's accurate, and my sixth sense says to me, you won't die." ”

Su Mu began to mourn silently for himself in his heart.

A carving roar was suddenly heard in mid-air, and it was extremely loud.

The magic bead said in a panic: "Oh no! The vultures are here, I'm leaving, I will always remember you, let's meet again." ”

"Goodbye. ”

From noon to the sunset, Su Mu shouted countless helps, who responded.

The ten fingers were sore, the breathing became more and more rapid, the tired head was covered with sweat like a stream, the whole body was soaked, and the occasional wind blew, and the whole body shivered.

In the end, I really couldn't support it, my clasped hands slowly loosened, and I knew that this time I fell again, and I was no longer able to climb the branches, only one death, I couldn't help but feel a pain in my heart, thinking of the closest person, I opened my mouth and shouted: "Niang ......" The body fell down like a star gallop.

Suddenly, the white shadow flickered in front of him, and there was already a giant eagle with wings flying in the sky under Su Mu's body, and the eagle body spread its wings, which was more than ten meters wide, and it flew upwards steadily.

As if instructed by someone, the carving still sent Su Mu to the stone chamber cave facing the wall, and tilted his left wing, allowing him to slide in.

Su Mu witnessed its appearance at this time, the snow white was also like a big eagle, and he couldn't find a single miscellaneous hair around his body, with iron wings and steel feathers, and he was handsome.

I saw it look at the sky and let out a long roar, with a bunch of wings, soaring into the sky, and in a blink of an eye, it turned into a white dot and disappeared into the sky.

Su Mu was still frightened, and suddenly heard a deep voice say, "You are the alien disciple who has just started?"

Su Mu hurriedly turned around and carefully observed the dim depths of the stone room, and sure enough, there was a Taoist man in a Taoist robe with gray hair sitting in the corner, his eyes were like torches, bright and flashing, he was sure that this person's cultivation was not weak, and he asked carefully: "What is the name of the senior?"

The man stood up, walked up to him, and said, "Poor and miserable, here for a long time. Leaning in from you to fetch dates, I will command the Australis to wait in the air, and when you fall off the cliff, I will rescue you up. ”

Su Muxian didn't pay attention to it, but after taking a closer look at him, he was surprised to find that he really had four arms. Immediately bowed down and said, "Kanmen disciple Su Mu pays a visit to the Sorrowful Daoist. Is the Taoist also practicing in Mount Emei?"

"You and I are both disciples of the Emei faction, in terms of seniority, you should call me uncle. ”

Su Mu hurriedly said: "The disciple failed to recognize Uncle Shi, I hope Uncle Shi will forgive me." Dare to ask which elder Uncle is there?"

"Your master has only accepted ten disciples in his life, and the Emei sect only has eight sects, each sect has an elder, except for the chief elder, there is still one free, and I am the idle one. I am rarely in the Emei faction, don't say that you have just entered Emei, you are a disciple who has been in the field for decades, and you can't see me. ”

"The disciple is stupid, the uncle said that there are times when he is here, since he saved me, why didn't he show up as soon as possible to warn, and also save me from a false alarm, and I wanted the disciple to fall off the cliff to let the divine bird save him?"

Sorrow stands to the sun. Under daylight. Su Mu saw his appearance clearly. It was a face that had gone through all the vicissitudes of life, with deep wrinkles like knives on the face, and there was no expression on the face, but the eyes clearly hid countless misery.

He said slowly: "This is your ordeal, I am just helping at the right time." I'm here to confirm the rumors, you really have white feathered wings?

Su Mu took off his coat and said, "The disciple was born like this. Unlike people, I am often regarded as an alien, but I have never felt inferior, my skin and hair were born to my mother, what's wrong with alien shapes?"

Said sadly: "It is rare for you to have such insight at a young age, and if I had been so open-minded back then, I would not have suffered a lot." ”

After that, the Master of Sorrow stroked Su Mu's wings with both hands. The other two hands carefully rubbed the membrane under his arm, and his eyebrows were slightly wrinkled. Silent for a long time.

It was the first time for Su Mu to be seen at such a close distance, and he was a four-armed person, so he felt slightly resistant in his heart, and it was difficult to speak. He looked at the top of the cave and coughed dryly as a reminder.

The Master of Sorrow seemed to wake up from his contemplation, took a deep breath, and said: "I can best understand the sorrow of being born with an alien, I have devoted myself to studying this matter for many years, everything in the world has a law to follow, yin and yang are positive and negative, water and fire are rigid and soft, and there are advantages and disadvantages. When I was a child, I was bullied, everyone hated it, and I crossed the street to shout and beat everywhere, and I had no shame to see people. Because I am accustomed to seeing the cold eyes of the world, I have worked twice as hard as my brother since the day I apprenticed. In this world, humans and demons coexist, and there are endless wars, and you can only stand firm in the world if you are stronger than them. The one who saved you was one of the four divine beasts of the Emei faction, the Aoyu Divine Vulture. When the vulture heard the god blessed greyhound talk about you, he told me that Emei had sent a little monster. ”

Su Mu asked a little tangled: "Uncle Shi heard the vulture talk about me? The vulture listened to the heavenly blessing spirit dog talk about me? Who is the heavenly blessing spirit dog?"

"The Heavenly Bless Spirit Dog and the Aoyu Condor are equally famous in the world, and they are both the four great divine beasts of the Emei Sect. Guarded by the elder of Kunmen, Ning Judo, he often follows his daughter in and out of Emei. ”

Su Mu suddenly said: "Oh, I know, it's that little black dog, it's a divine beast?"

"Not bad. It was God who blessed the greyhound. I have always wanted to see you, and with my half-life experience, I will do my best for you. You're much more beautiful than I am. ”

Su Mu experienced life and death in the end, and the master of grief was kind to himself, and he listened to him to favor himself, and said gratefully: "The disciple and the uncle have never known each other, and now they have the grace to save their lives and have not repaid it, so I dare not let the uncle bother more." ”

The sorrowful master said: "Needless to say, this is my heart, and you and I are destined." I don't know what the use of the membrane under your arm is, but this wing is obvious, and now I will pass on your mantra to fly with flying qi, so that you can soar without borrowing a fairy sword. ”

Su Mu hesitated and said, "But the disciple is under the Hollow Dao Master, if the master knows, it doesn't matter if the disciple is blamed, wouldn't it be a burden for the uncle to recite the name of the overstepping discipline?"

Said sadly: "My hollow junior brother is pedantic, he acts according to the rules, he will not be flexible, he will not teach you to fly before you inherit the Taoist system and pass you the flying sword, you don't have wings, you were born with wings, isn't it a pity to be wasted? ”

Su Mu finally felt that it was inappropriate, it was better to be gradual and steadfast, and still said humbly: "It is not easy for a disciple to come to Xianshan to practice, although there is no real crime this time, I finally violated the precepts, which has made the master disliked. ”

He said sadly: "You child, why are you so stupid, I have repeatedly said that you are born with wings, even if I don't teach you to control qi, you can spread your wings and fly in the future, otherwise what are you doing with these wings?

Su Mu echoed and smiled: "Uncle Shi made fun of it." ”

The Master of Sorrow pointed to the outside of the cave and said, "Jump down from here, and let me see what kind of Cheng dΓΉ you can control your wings." ”

Su Mu smiled bitterly and said, "If the disciple can control it, why do you need the condor to save me." ”

When the sorrowful master heard this, he stopped letting him jump off the cliff, took out a package, handed it to Su Mu, and said, "There is some dry food here, you listen to me attentively while eating." ”

Seeing that there was something to eat, Su Mu grabbed it in his hand and chewed it heavily.

He only lowered his head to eat, and heard the sorrowful master say: "There are four kinds of gas in the human body, true qi, sect qi, camp qi, and guard qi. Commonly known as the four gases. True Qi is the foundation of life. It is also the source of "art". Zong Qi gathers in the body. Concentrate on the heart, breathe, and blood. The camp qi comes from the subtle qi of the water valley, which travels in the veins and nourishes the whole body. Wei Qi is the fierce qi in the subtlety of the water valley, which travels outside the veins and protects the human body from external evils. These three qi are described in detail in the Emei sect's teachings, and I will only teach you to refine the true qi. True Qi is also known as Yuan Qi. It is the foundation of the four qis, and if you can control the true qi freely, you can control the qi and light your body, and you can walk in the air. What is the basis of life?"

Su Mu devoured and ate deliciously, and suddenly heard the question of the master of sorrow, he was stunned, and said with his mouth puffed up: "True anger." ”

Sadness and said: "The dantian is a place to gather qi, and the true qi is gathered in the dantian, and it is good at using it." It is the first way of qi control. All you need to do is triple the speed of the True Qi in your body and add your wings. It's time to fly. ”

Then he explained the method of True Qi Luck Gong in detail, and repeatedly reminded Su Mu to keep it in mind.

About half a cup of tea time, Su Mu ate a lot, sat cross-legged on the ground according to his words, according to the method said by the master of sorrow, tried to use the true qi in the body, refined and purified, and gathered in the dantian.

The Master of Sorrow glanced at him expressionlessly and said, "Practice diligently, and see you in seven days." It turned into a golden light and broke through the air.

At dawn on the seventh day, the hollow Taoist came to the stone room, and saw that Su Mu was meditating with his eyes closed, his snort was even, and he was about to enter a state of concentration, so he couldn't help but nodded. After he had been running his true qi in his body for a week, he exhaled a long breath before Hollow put the package containing the dry food in his hand on the ground and left silently.

After another four days, the master of sorrow rode the vulture into the stone room, did not speak, put one hand on Su Mu's pulse, and after a while, said: "It is not the same as I imagined, but it is reasonable, and if you work hard in the future, you can hope to succeed." ”

Su Mu asked, "When will the disciple be able to fly?"

Said sadly: "At this moment. ”

With his hands on his head, Su Mu stepped on the cushion under his feet, jumped out, his body was only suspended in the air, and he immediately flattened his wings, and his true qi poured into them, and he felt that his wings were hard and qualitative, and he could manipulate and control, although he was not as free as his arms, he could barely point and wave.

Gliding down like this, landing about 100 zhang, waving wings, slowly rising, not excited when falling, but a little worried, at this time waving the wings, can actually face the wind, can't help but be angry, blurted out a long howl, looked back at the sad master standing at the door of the stone room, shouted: "Uncle, the disciple has learned to fly!"

The sad face was calm, his mouth was only slightly open, but his voice permeated the four fields, and he heard it clearly: "Don't be complacent, you are just slow, mostly taxiing, far from flying." The Aoyu Vulture is thousands of miles in an instant, ordinary flying swords are far beyond reach, and you are also born with two feathers, when you stand side by side with it, you can be worthy of your pair of clean wings. ”

Su Mu muttered in a low voice: "I'm not a flying bird beast, how can I compare with it." ”

Although the Master of Sorrow did not praise it, Su Mu's heart was already extremely happy, and he had never thought that one day he would be able to fly around the sky without flying swords.

Sadly watching Su Mu hovering in mid-air in front of the cliff, seeing that he was able to fly without hindrance, he looked at the sky and said, "Go to the poor road." ”

Su Mu looked down when he heard the sound, and he was gone. Hurriedly gathered his wings and dived, flew into the stone room, and said urgently: "Uncle Shi, where will the disciple see you in the future?"

The sound of the valley is scattered with the wind.

In the days following the departure of the Master of Sorrow, Zhao Wuming had his first taste of flying, waking up early every day and flying back and forth in the valley on the side of the cliff, while also constantly practicing his control of his wings and his own balance.

As for the vows made by the hollow, he had long forgotten them in the country of the Eight Claws, and he had no shame in his heart, and he should not have been punished here. When I saw wild fruits in the valley, I picked them and ate them as I flew.

In the last few days of the month, Su Mu was able to pluck the feathers from the wild goose, so that the wild goose could not find the enemy in a panic, and the speed was evident.

He was still childlike, and when he saw birds flying across the north side of the Jinding Cliff, he couldn't help but chase after him and tease him, so that the birds and geese in this area were extinct, and he was the only white shadow swimming in the air, so uncomfortable.

The moon was full, and the hollow Dao chief arrived as scheduled, returning to Kanmen with Su Mu.

All the senior brothers looked at him coldly and did not want to be with him. Su Mu's title of "lewd thief" has already made him famous in the eight sects of the Emei faction.

The three people in the same bedroom came and asked some questions, and Zhou Xunyi patted him on the shoulder, feeling a lot of regret.

Mo Xunhuan's eyes dodged, not daring to face him.

There is nothing else to do with it, and there is still a touch of playfulness on the corner of his mouth, as if he is ready to mock the world at any time. (To be continued......)
