Chapter 20: The Ring of Heaven
For the next ten days, Tianjiu practiced every day in addition to raising pigs. The little frog has not woken up since he fell asleep on the ground after eating the cat-faced monster and the spirit pig, and his body seems to have grown a little.
Since the spirit piglet was killed by beating the cat-faced monster, there has never been less than one. Under Tianjiu's careful feeding, after more than ten days, each one has grown a big circle. Under his frantic cultivation, the spiritual energy silk in Tianjiu's body skyrocketed to more than fifty threads, and in the entire dantian, cyan ribbons fluttered. There are one or two threads colliding together, intertwined with each other, and there are signs of merging and growing.
Tianjiu was both excited and disappointed. Excitedly, his cultivation had progressed, and to his loss, it seemed to be a forgotten corner. For more than ten days in a row, no one came, only the accidental light and flying magic weapons in the sky reminded Tianjiu that he was not far from the outside.
Another ten days passed, and Tianjiu found that the spiritual energy filaments in the dantian had increased to more than one hundred, many of which were intertwined with each other, and slowly blended together, and five or six filaments were already three or four times the size of other spiritual qi filaments, and their brilliance had also become green.
His body has also undergone noticeable changes, his muscles have become much stronger, his jumping height is twice as high as when he came, and his memory has also improved. He often tried to make a fire knife according to the method of fire blade technique, but he was disappointed again and again, and not even a spark appeared.
The growth of the spirit pig is very gratifying, and after twenty days, it has almost weighed five or six catties. It's just that the amount of food is getting bigger and bigger. Nowadays, it is almost necessary to cut five or six thousand catties of small thread grass every day to meet the needs of the spirit pig, otherwise, the screaming sound will collapse the entire valley, and even more so, it may not sleep all night at night, and the screaming makes people crazy. Tianjiu's cultivation time had decreased dramatically, and it was already less than half of what it had been.
"Alas, I'm tired" Tianjiu threw the cut grass into the pigsty one by one, returned to the house, sat on the ground, and gasped. "No, I have to get out of this situation, otherwise I won't be able to cultivate. ”
Seeing the little frog that was still sleeping, Tianjiu was extremely depressed, evil was born from the side of the gall, and a chestnut bomb was on the frog's head.
There was a scream, and the little frog was bounced awake.
The little frog waved its forelimbs and croaked non-stop, as if it was protesting against Tianjiu's violence.
"I'm almost exhausted, do you still have the heart to sleep? If you scream again, I'll throw you into the pigsty to see if you scream or if they're good?" said Tianjiu, who threw himself to the ground and looked at the little frog.
After the little frog croaked a few more times, he jumped to the side helplessly, trying to hide to the side and go to sleep.
"No, dead frog, don't sleep, you have to help me find a way, or I will slaughter a few spirit pigs for you to eat, or you can cut less grain and grass." You don't know, I have to travel a long way to meet their needs now, and I don't have time to cultivate. Tianjiu held down the little frog that wanted to escape.
As soon as the little frog heard that he was eating the spirit pig, his spirit suddenly lifted up and he kept nodding his head.
"No, I still think it's not appropriate to kill pigs now, they haven't grown up yet, if there is a mistake in the middle, then I can't cry without tears. Hmph, I know you want to eat it! Or you can help me mow the grass, but with your little example, it would be nice not to be crushed to death by the grass. ”
The little frog glanced at Tianjiu with disdain and pointed to Tianjiu's backpack.
"Huh, you think I have a way in my bag?" Tianjiu got up and put down the little frog, only to see the little frog jump up, jump high, and jump into Tianjiu's backpack accurately.
"Hey, I didn't expect you to be good when you grew up!" Tianjiu said with a smile.
At this time, the little frog was pounding in his bag, and after a while, he showed his head with the "millet grain" in his mouth.
"Isn't this the baby you gave me? Can it help me? Quick, tell me how to use it?" Tianjiu hurriedly dragged the millet grains and held them in his hands.
The little frog glanced at Tianjiu again with disdain and pointed at Tianjiu's forehead.
"You mean put it on your forehead? Oops! Why didn't I think to check it with my divine sense! Little frog, are you still smart!"
Tianjiu slammed the frog's head, and the little frog struggled for a moment, dodged and jumped into the backpack, it should have gone to sleep.
Tianjiu didn't bother to pay attention to it, and hurriedly pressed the millet grain on his forehead. As soon as his consciousness came into contact with the grains of millet, a stream of information jumped into his sea of consciousness.
"Qiankun Mind Guarding Method!" Tianjiu exclaimed.
After a stick of incense, Tianjiu withdrew from the sea of knowledge. It turned out that this millet grain recorded was actually the method of recognizing the owner of the Qiankun ring that the white-bearded old man gave to Tianjiu. After being touched by the Heavenly Nine Divine Sense, the millet grains turned into ashes and dissipated in the air.
"Aha! Dead old man, you have a treasure and don't know how to open it, and you have cheapened me for nothing! I must quickly confess the Lord and see what good things are there. Tianjiu shouted.
He couldn't wait to follow the method, first took out a few large drops of essence blood from his chest, took out the Qiankun ring, and dripped on it.
I saw that the essence and blood slowly seeped into the ring face, and after three or four breaths, it disappeared without a trace like water entering the sand. He hurriedly pasted the Qiankun ring to his forehead, wrapped it in his divine sense, and recited it according to the mantra of the heart......
After a few incense sticks, when Tianjiu felt that his head was as heavy as a hammer and he was about to fall to the ground, Qiankun Ring emitted a brilliant glow, and with a buzzing sound, it sank into his forehead.
Tianjiu was startled, and hurriedly entered the sea of knowledge, and in the sea of knowledge, a bright ring suddenly appeared, which was the Qiankun ring.
He lightly touched the Qiankun Ring with his divine sense, and he entered it without hindrance.
A vast space appeared in front of Tianjiu.
This space is roughly estimated to be three or five miles in circumference, and there are five dazzling night pearls hanging in the sky, illuminating the sky white. Further down was the russet ground, which Tianjiu probed with his divine sense, as hard as iron, not like rock or dirt.
"Why is there nothing?"
After Tianjiu's divine consciousness scanned the entire Qiankun Ring, he let out a wail. There wasn't a single treasure he longed for, not half a hedron, not a single thread, just a russet ground of unknown substance.
"Huh?!" Tian Jiuyi sat down on the ground.
After doing it for most of the day, it turned out to be an empty shell.
Fortunately, it is explained in the Qiankun Mind Guarding Method that the Qiankun Ring can be used to store anything other than a living person, even a living demon beast is not affected. At least, it is no problem to use it as a storage room for him to store treasures in the future, and the Qiankun Ring is hiding in the depths of his sea of knowledge, and he is not afraid of being seen by people at all.
At this moment, there was a roar in the pigsty, and the spirit pigs were hungry again. Tianjiu got up in pain, picked up the machete, and ran out of the mountain in despair. If they don't cut the grass and come back, these spirit pigs may tear down the entire pigsty.
It's the season for the grass to ripen, but the mountain is already full of stubble, and it will take at least half a month to grow to usable height again. Only on the side close to Dengxian Peak, on several small hills, can you find large patches of small thread grass. He didn't dare to go up to Dengxian Peak, because it was clearly written in the manual that there was an extremely powerful prohibition under Dengxian Peak, and if he accidentally entered, he might be bombarded to the ground.
An hour later, Tianjiu carried back a few hundred catties of pigweed again, and when the pigweed was distributed, he collapsed in the pigsty.
His body, hair, and even ears were covered with grass seeds of small threads. A gust of wind blew, and a few grass seeds blew down on his forehead, and he unconsciously wrapped it with his divine sense, and the ghost sent it to the Qiankun Ring.
The grass seeds fell to the ground of the Qiankun ring, and between a few breaths, the grass seeds took root, sprouted, and increased rapidly at a visible speed, and in less than a quarter of an hour, the small line grass was already a meter high, and after another quarter of an hour, the small line grass slowly withered, and Zuihou turned into a handful of fly ash and disappeared.
"Huh?" Tianjiu stared at all this dumbfounded. This growth process is too fast, on the hillside outside, a small thread grass, from rooting to withering takes at least three months, but in the Qiankun Ring, it is actually completed in less than half an hour.
Tianjiu consciously sent in a grass seed again, and the same scene was almost exactly done.
He sent in the grass seeds for the third time, and this time he didn't wait for them to wither, so he quickly wrapped them in his divine sense, extracted the small thread grass, and carefully observed the difference between the grass produced in the Qiankun Ring and the grass growing outside.
The appearance of these two kinds of grass is similar, the Qiankun Ring is verdant and thicker, and the grass in the Qiankun Ring has never produced grass seeds.
Tianjiu took the small thread grass planted from the Qiankun ring, came to a spirit pig who was grabbing food, and stretched the grass to the spirit pig's mouth, the spirit pig suddenly shook its nose and spit out the small thread grass in Tianjiu's hand.
"yes, it eats this grass!" Tianjiu was very happy, and seemed to see the light.
He stared intently at the spirit pig, and after a few breaths, suddenly, the spirit pig screamed wildly, and kept jumping, running wildly in the pigsty, with a hideous expression, as if it was in pain. Half an hour later, the spirit pig gradually quieted down, and Zuihou fell asleep in the pigsty.
"Damn, won't you? If you eat this grass, you will get nervous, and you won't be raised as a mad pig in the end, right?" Tianjiu was a little disappointed, but looking at the sleeping spirit pig, he still decided to observe it again tomorrow, so he made a mark on the back of the spirit pig and put it alone in a pigsty, anyway, there are many pigsty now, and he doesn't care about opening a single room for him.
Next, he seized the little free time he had and began to meditate......
