Chapter 4: Exploring the Cave
Just as Cao Jing's feet hit the ground, the entrance of the cave suddenly emitted a burst of suction force, sucking the hesitant Cao Jing into the cave.
Cao Jing slammed on the stone table in the cave, although he had forged three layers of cultivation, his body was much stronger than ordinary people, and he could make Cao Jing lie on the ground for nearly half a quarter of an hour before he slowly sat up on the stone table, and Cao Jing, who sat up, kept rubbing his chest with his hands and kept coughing, which showed how great the sucking force was.
After a stick of incense passed, Cao Jing felt much better, and slowly stood up, but he just stood up, not daring to move around, afraid of hitting something to prohibit him from suffering again.
Cao Jing carefully looked at the hole that pulled himself in, only to see that this hole was much larger than the hole outside, about the size of a house, and there was a stone table in the middle of the hole, there was a stone pier behind the stone table, and there was a shelf near the wall on the opposite side, but he couldn't see whether there was anything on it, there was a stone bed on the left hand side, and there was nothing on the right hand side, and when you listened quietly, you could hear the sound of water. Zuihou is so dark that you can only see a rough shadow.
Cao Jing was helpless and didn't dare to move, so he could only sit down again, cross-legged exercises, and start cultivating.
Five hours later, Cao Jing stopped practicing, felt refreshed and comfortable all over his body, stood up, stretched his waist, and with a series of crackling sounds, Cao Jing started a new day.
Open your eyes, look around, still in this cave, but now you can see the things in the cave clearly, the table and the stone pier, the light is shining on people, it is obviously made by someone with great mana, Cao Jing smacked his tongue, how strong can such a strong man do it? The stone bed on the left emits a slight pale golden halo, which is warm in the eyes, giving people a very comfortable feeling, the shelf on the opposite side is empty, there is nothing, there is a pool on the right, and there is water flowing out slowly from the innermost corner.
Carefully observed the surroundings, found that there was no danger, Cao Jing gently raised his feet around the stone table and turned up, just when he walked to the left stone bed, he found that the stone bed was one layer shorter than the outside, and after approaching, he found that there was a person lying inside, to be exact, it should be a corpse, the corpse has only bones left, Bai Sensen's is quite scary, Cao Jing restrained his trembling body, slowly walked to the edge of the stone bed, looked at the corpse, and found that this person had several broken ribs, obviously suffered a heavy blow before death, Cao Jing looked at it, bowed down to the corpse, and said respectfully:
"Senior, junior has no intention of offending, because he was chased by a fierce beast, there was no way to escape, he was forced to jump off the steep slope, enter the place where the predecessor rested, and look at the predecessor Haihan where he was disturbed!"
After finishing speaking, Cao Jing respectfully saluted the corpse again, and after being a little relieved, he slowly went up to the stone bed with great courage, knelt down, and said to the corpse,
"The younger generation wants to put the senior into the ground to thank the younger generation for trespassing!" After kowtowing respectfully three times, he slowly sorted out the corpse, wrapped the corpse in clothes and carried it to the pool, looked around the cave, and found a broken sword under the shelf, Cao Guo went to take the broken sword and dug a pit next to the pool, opened the clothes, and slowly put the bone frame neatly into the pit, just when Cao Jing was about to cover the soil, he found that there was a ring on the middle finger of the left hand of the corpse, Cao Jing slowly took it off, put it on his hand and looked at it carefully, he didn't see anything, and he wore his left and right ring fingers casually, and began to cover the soil and bury the corpse.
Cao Jing stood up after kowtowing three times to the new tomb, and when he was about to take a closer look at the cave, the ring on his ring finger changed, and he felt that the ring was hot for a while, just when Cao Jing was about to touch it with his right hand, a person suddenly came out of the ring, standing in front of Cao Jing in the air, and could clearly see that this person was about fifty years old, full of fortitude, Cao Jing was startled, hurriedly retreated, and put on a desperate jiashi in a panic, but found that the person did not chase after him, and his heart was slightly relaxed.
When Cao Jing looked at it, he found that this person's body seemed to be transparent, and he felt that the wind would blow away, and a cyan robe was covered on the person, and the person's eyes stared at Cao Jing motionlessly, and after the meal, the person floated over, yes, it was floated over, and he circled around Cao Jing, and Zuihou stopped three feet in front of Cao Jing. Said to Cao Jing:
"Boy, you are very good, you have a good heart, you are polite, but your physique is relatively poor, your qualifications are above average, and your cultivation is too bad. Anyway, I've been waiting here for tens of thousands of years, just waiting for you alone, Providence is like this, just you!"
The man made a casual move, and the ring on Cao Jing's hand reached the man's hand, and at the same time said to Cao Jing:
"Boy, what's your name, where are you from? Weishenme's cultivation is so bad, don't you cultivate well?"
Cao Jing, who was stunned by the man, slowly calmed down after a short period of panic, bowed down and said to the man:
"The younger generation Cao Jing, who is a native of Caozhuang at the foot of this Wushan Mountain, does not know that the two bloodline attribute exercises can only be cultivated to the third layer of the forging body, but they have never been able to break through, and each attribute exercise has been cultivated to the peak of the third layer of the forging body in less than a year, and it has been impossible to break through for nearly seven years. May I ask who the seniors are?"
After hearing this, the man thought for a while and then said lightly: "My name is Tianqingzi. β
Then floated in front of Cao Jing, Cao Jing's left hand was raised without warning, Cao Jing was shocked, he didn't raise his arm? Then I saw Tianqingzi stretch out his right hand and put it on Cao Jing's wrist, and after a few breaths, he put down Cao Jing's wrist and retreated back to its original place.
"Cao Jing, right? You were injured when you were a child, so your meridians were blocked, and the true qi you cultivated after the peak of the third layer was used to open up the meridians, but because the meridians were too seriously blocked, you couldn't open up, so your cultivation couldn't break through. β
After hearing this, Cao Jing bowed down and said to Tian Qingzi: "Senior, can this situation be cured? Is there any way to open up the wounded and blocked meridians? β
"You are my destined person, are you willing to be my inheritor and worship me as a teacher?" Tian Qingzi did not answer directly, but asked.
"In my current situation, I can't cultivate and break through at all, I'm afraid I won't be able to inherit the supreme supernatural powers of my predecessors. β
"Don't worry about this, as long as you are willing, I have a way to help you solve the current dilemma. β
"The juniors want to go back and ask their fathers and mothers before they can give an answer to the seniors. After hearing this, Cao Jing hesitated, not knowing whether to agree or not.
"You can't get out now, your cultivation is too low to pass through that formation prohibition. Don't worry, after you accept my inheritance, I won't force you to do anything, I just don't want my exercises to be broken from now on. β
After thinking carefully for a quarter of an hour, Cao Jing said:
"Senior, I promise you, to be your inheritor, as long as it does not violate my principle of being a human being, I will try my best to cultivate the exercises passed down by my predecessors and carry them forward. β
"There is no need to carry it forward, I just hope that you don't break the inheritance in the future. From now on, you, Cao Jing, are the only apprentice of my Tianqingzi, and I hope you will cultivate well. β
"Yes, disciple understands. Cao Jing said after respectfully bowing to Tianqingzi.
"I won't tell you about my origin now, but I'll tell you later. Now for the teacher to help you open up the blocked meridians and treat the injured meridians, you could have opened your meridians through an elixir, but there is no one here for the teacher, so you can only use another method. β
After speaking, Tianqingzi stretched out his right hand and said to Cao Jing: "Sit on the stone bed, hold Yuan Shouyi, and calm down." It can be painful, if you don't persevere, you can die, you think about it, if you don't want to, forget it. β
"The master can rest assured, the disciple can persevere, and the master can rest assured to cast the spell. β
Cao Jing immediately sat on the stone bed, according to Tian Qingzi's instructions, after the tea kung fu, Tian Qingzi saw that Cao Jing had entered the state of cultivation, put his right hand on the top of Cao Jing's head, and at the same time a trace of white gas came out, Cao Jing felt that the majestic energy poured into the Baihui acupoints above his head, constantly washing his body, the energy filled the meridians, the pain of impacting the meridians, like thousands of ants biting themselves at the same time, the pain of the bones, made him almost dizzy, he knew that he couldn't faint now, otherwise all the pain would be in vain, and he might lose his lifeγ
Cao Jing's body kept coming out of swarthy things, sticky and sticky to his body, feeling very uncomfortable, about half an hour later, Tian Qingzi put away his right hand, and at the same time his body was lighter than before, feeling a lot older, Tian Qingzi saw that Cao Jing was still exercising, so he returned to the ring, and the ring slowly floated to the stone table.
Cao Jing felt that time was getting slower and slower, as if it had stopped, and even his thoughts had stopped, and he felt that his heart was beating faster and faster, as if he was about to jump out of his body, and the impact of his soul was even more painful, and the feeling that his soul was going to leave his body would never want to feel it again. So he began to run the exercises frantically, constantly impacting the places where the meridians were blocked, hoping to break through as soon as possible, and time would pass slowly......
Cao Jing didn't know how long it took to come over, and finally woke up.
After Cao Jing woke up, he didn't see Tianqingzi, so he shouted loudly: "Master, master, where are you?" I have already broken through the third layer of the forging body, and I feel that I will soon break through to the fifth layer of the forging body. β
Tian Qingzi came out of the ring and said to Cao Jing: "Well, yes, the meridians have been opened, and at the same time, a lot of impurities have been removed from the body. Go and wash yourself in the pool. β
Hearing what Tianqingzi said, Cao Jing looked down at his body, there was black rumbling everywhere, and it emitted a burst of peculiar smell, it was really unpleasant, and he also felt that his body was sticky and whirring, and it was very uncomfortable, so he got up and walked to the pool, jumped in, and scrubbed hard.
Cao Jing slowly walked out of the pool, and when he came out completely, Tian Qingzi's eyes lit up when he looked at him, revealing a pleased look, and nodded slowly, Cao Jing touched his face, feeling much smoother, and the skin on his body was more elastic and full of vitality than before. Cao Jing was ecstatic.
"Thank you, Master, for your success!" Cao Jing said to Tian Qingzi.
"Very good, very good, as a teacher, I will pass on your cultivation exercises, the exercises you cultivated before were too low, so don't practice in the future. β
Suddenly, Cao Jing's eyes when he looked at Tian Qingzi changed and changed, and he said in a trembling voice: "Master, what's wrong with you, weishenme looks so old, and it's not as difficult to condense as before?
"The apprentice doesn't have to be sad, and he doesn't have to blame himself, everything is voluntary for the teacher, even if the teacher doesn't open up the meridians for you, he won't live for a few more months, in fact, the teacher has been dead for a long time, this is just a wisp of remnant soul left in this space ring for the teacher, even if it is this remnant soul, there are only three months to live. β
"Master rest assured, the apprentice will definitely practice hard and live up to the master's expectations! After Cao Jing knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Tianqingzi a few times, he endured the tears that were about to be left behind, and said to Tianqingzi in a choked voice. Cao Jing knew that it was useless to talk too much now, only by cultivating hard and inheriting the exercises passed on by the master was the greatest comfort to the master and the most reward.
