Chapter 5 The Path of Cultivation
"Yun'er, go down the mountain with your teacher today. Looking at Ziyun, who had just finished breakfast, Venerable Deadwood said.
"Why are you going down the mountain, today's cultivation hasn't started yet?" Ziyun asked puzzled.
"You have opened the nine veins, and if you want to open more veins, the ordinary technique of breathing can no longer support it. Flying down the mountain with the purple clouds, Venerable Deadwood replied.
In a blink of an eye, the two have come to the bottom of Qingzhu Peak, looking up, the Qingzhu Peak is far from the peak, the middle of the mountain is surrounded by clouds and mist, the straight cliff is entwined with the roots of the old trees, it seems to be a giant dragon circling, the trees under the mountain are thick, a lake water is crystal clear, looking for an empty area, put down the purple cloud and said: "In addition to the daily spit, you need to start climbing to the peak with your bare hands from here." ”
Ziyun, who had not yet come back to his senses, opened his eyes wide and said with a surprised face after hearing his master's words: "Master, how can a disciple climb such a high mountain?"
Seeing Ziyun's fearful face, Venerable Deadwood didn't say a word, picked up the rattan beside him casually, and pumped it at Ziyun's buttocks.
"Oops, oops...... Master, don't fight, the apprentice climbs, the apprentice starts to climb. After being drawn by the Deadwood Venerable, he touched his buttocks, took a deep breath, and Ziyun began to climb towards the peak of Qingzhu Peak.
Although Ziyun, who is less than two years old, feeds on demon beasts, he is only a child after all, and he is tired and out of breath after climbing less than a thousand meters, just grabbing the branches next to him, and looking back, the figure of the master sitting at the bottom of the mountain with his eyes closed is getting smaller and smaller. After a short rest, continue to climb up, the immature hands have already been blistered by the sharp rocks, the tiger skin jacket on the body has also been poked with thousands of holes, the peaks that are far away, the bottomless abyss, the purple clouds on the mountainside are exhausted at the moment, the aura in the nine veins has been exhausted, and there is only a will to support it, and it may fall down at any time.
"Deadwood, Ziyun is still a child less than two years old, wouldn't this be too cruel to him?"
"How to teach my apprentices, I don't need you to teach me, cultivate and live forever, how can I surpass ordinary people without suffering, if I can't stand such hardships such as mountaineering, how can I talk about immortality. Venerable Deadwood stared at the purple clouds halfway up the mountain, and said slowly, not paying attention to the firesparrow, just looking up.
"Hmph, if it weren't for the fact that you don't have decades to live, I really want to beat you up. The fire sparrow said angrily.
After barely climbing up for another hundred meters, Ziyun's hands grabbed the rock and began to shake uncontrollably, although it was a frozen and cold winter, his small forehead was also covered with sweat. Looking at the fact that there was still more than half of the way, Ziyun's heart revealed despair, and his heart couldn't climb up no matter what, just as Ziyun was about to let go and fall, a passage came from his ears: "Hold your heart, gather aura, fill nine veins, and break ten veins." ”
Enduring the intense feeling of exhaustion, Ziyun held on to his last breath and began to run the heart method transmitted by the Dead Wood Venerable, week after week, feeling the nine veins that had long been exhausted gradually plumped, and after it was saturated and could not store the aura, he slowly called it a day and continued to climb towards the peak, so repeatedly whenever Ziyun was about to hold on, the words would come from his ears, as the peak got closer and closer to Ziyun, the nine veins in his body seemed to want to break through the encirclement, constantly churning, as if a shackle locked the nine veins. Then a faint cracking sound spread from Ziyun's body, and the aura in the nine veins rushed into the tenth vein like a locked flood, and the tenth vein opened.
After breaking through the tenth vein, Ziyun seemed to have inexhaustible strength, and finally climbed fast in less than a thousand meters, and finally climbed the 10,000-zhang high Qingzhu Peak before dark.
"It's not bad, it took ten hours to climb up, and ten veins were opened, and it was not in vain, and you need to climb the mountain like this every day in the future, but the time is faster, and when you climb to the top of the peak with a stick of incense without any external force, it is considered a success. Looking at the purple clouds that were standing on the top of the peak and breathing, Venerable Deadwood stood behind him and said.
"Master, I feel that I have endless strength now, and my whole body is smooth. No, I'm going to beat up my sister. After the strength increased, Ziyun's first thought was to go and beat Yun Liuli.
"Hehe, that girl in Liuli has opened eleven veins, and she has broken through to the Qi Gathering Realm, with your current strength, you will still inevitably be spanked. Hearing Ziyun gritting his teeth and saying that he was going to fight Senior Sister Yun Liuli, Venerable Deadwood couldn't help but laugh.
"Ahh Listening to Venerable Deadwood's words, the purple clouds were like deflated balls, and the joy of the breakthrough had just disappeared without a trace before they could taste it.
The daily mountaineering trip polishes Ziyun's body and tempers Ziyun's will. Unconsciously, Ziyun's mind was deeply imprinted with the belief that he would continue to grow stronger. It has been more than a month since the first climb of Qingzhu Peak, since the tenth vein opened, Ziyun opened the eleventh vein again, in the face of Yun Liuli's pursuit, and gradually had the power to fight back, although in the end it was still impossible to avoid being caught and beaten, but it was not helpless, at least Yun Liuli could not climb to the peak with bare hands from the bottom of the mountain without the help of external force like Ziyun.
"Little junior brother, tell me quickly, is it that the old man secretly gives you something delicious to eat every day after I go home?"
After being caught by Yun Liuli again, Ziyun stubbornly turned his head and ignored his senior sister's questioning.
"Oh, little junior brother, are you itching your butt again, I didn't give you a good job yesterday, did you, and you dared not answer my question. Ziyun looked ignorant, and the angry Yun Liuli put his hands up and down, and kept slapping Ziyun's buttocks.
"Hmph, I've counted how many times you've beaten me, you've hit me a thousand eight hundred and six times in four months, and sooner or later I'll call them all back. Ziyun thought silently in her heart.
"What are you thinking? Do you want to spank your senior sister's ass in the future!" Seeing Ziyun's non-stop blinking, the eccentric Yun Liuli seemed to have seen through what Ziyun was thinking.
Ziyun, who was seen through by her senior sister, took advantage of Yun Liuli's inattention, pushed hard, broke away from the grabbed hands, and ran to a place where she thought it was safe, and said loudly: "Hmph, bad sister, you're right, when I'm better than you, I'll spank you every day." ”
"Oh yes, you little villain, you really want to spank me, you can't get out of bed if I don't beat me today. After Yun Liuli finished speaking, she once again began the journey of chasing Ziyun.
"Master, master is back. Ziyun, who was running around Qingzhu Peak, saw the Dead Wood Venerable carrying a snow demon bear dozens of meters high from a distance, and his saliva was about to flow out. Yun Liuli on the side was even more exaggerated, rushed to the snow demon bear, opened his small mouth and bit it. Since eating demon beast meat in Qingzhu Peak, Yun Liuli no longer eats the meals made by her mother at home, and will come to compete with Ziyun for food for three meals a day.
"Old man, don't give this bear's meat to Little Brother Ziyun, you see that he has gained a lot of weight this month, and he is almost as tall as me. Grabbing the beard of the Deadwood Venerable again, Yun Liuli said with wide eyes.
"Bad sister, why are you tugging at my master's beard again, put your hand down, don't put it down again, you don't want to eat a piece of this bear meat." Ziyun shouted angrily.
Venerable Deadwood, who had long been accustomed to being dragged by Yun Liuli's beard, said with a smile: "Yes, yes, such a big snow demon bear can eat for many days! Venerable Deadwood skinned the Snow Demon Bear, washed it, and baked it in a cauldron in front of the grass and reeds.
While eating the snow demon bear meat, he asked, "Old man, are you biased and secretly hiding other demon beast meat for the little junior brother to eat." ”
Without waiting for Venerable Deadwood to speak, after taking a sip of soup, Yun Liuli then said viciously: "Old man, tell me honestly, otherwise I will burn all your beards." ”
Looking at Yun Liuli's greasy little mouth, listening to her immature voice threatening herself, Venerable Deadwood laughed, paused and said, "You both eat the same demon beasts, but Yun'er climbs from the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain every day, and naturally her strength has increased a lot. ”
"Hmph, then I'll start climbing the mountain tomorrow. After hearing the words of the Deadwood Venerable, Yun Liuli said as if she had made up her mind to bully Ziyun for the rest of her life.
"You are a little girl, unlike Yun'er, climbing the mountain has little effect on you. ”
Yun Liuli cried after hearing this, "Stinky old man, bad old man, you are partial, I am not your apprentice, so you don't teach me." After saying that, I cried even more.
Seeing Yun Liuli's tearful eyes, it was really distressing, Ziyun cut a large piece of snow demon bear meat, handed it to Yun Liuli's mouth and said, "Good sister, Yun'er said to play, Yun'er promised not to spank my sister in the future." He said so, but in his heart, he thought: "It's okay if you don't fight, I'll pinch a few more times." ”
Eating the Xuemi Demon Bear meat handed over by Ziyun, Yun Liuli stopped crying and said, "It's pretty much the same. ”
"Deadwood, if you go to the mountains to hunt demon beasts every day like this, and consume your own longevity, I'm afraid you won't survive for ten years. "After Yun Liuli left and Ziyun fell asleep, the fire sparrow came to Qingzhu Peak again and talked to the Dead Wood Venerable.
"You don't need to worry about how many years I can live, just do your own thing. "Although what the Fire Sparrow said is true, Venerable Deadwood has no regrets, for the sake of his only apprentice, it is only a few years to live, even if he dies immediately, as long as he can let the apprentice get benefits, it will not hesitate.
"In another ten years, it will be the day of the Shenzhou Continent Cultivation Conference, I don't know who will win the championship this time. Looking at the starry sky, the fire sparrow fell into a long contemplation, and he also shined in the Xiuzhen Conference back then, although he failed to win the championship, but he got acquainted with three brothers, and asked the sky for wine, and was at ease. Time flies, thousands of years have passed, the four brothers crisscrossed the continent, and now they are left alone in this deep mountain, and a sense of resentment rises to the sky.
The Deadwood Venerable on the side was also silent for a long time.
