In the early morning, people who had rested all night got up one after another. After everyone had a simple meal, they started to pack their things and started on the road again.
The weather gradually became hotter as we traveled south. The humid and sultry weather made Xia Xie very uncomfortable on his mount. Looking back, other people who had some cultivation skills acted like normal people. This made Xia Xie very depressed.
Especially Huo Ling'er, such a hot day seemed to melt the earth. But she hugged her knees and sat on the little turtle's back and felt very comfortable. Many people were sweating. But her cheeks
Not even a drop of sweat.
Xia Xie curiously chased her and asked, "Senior sister, why don't you feel anything on such a hot day?"
Huo Ling'er raised his head and glanced at the scorching sun in the sky and asked, "I don't feel it. Do you feel very hot?"
Xia Xie nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. Huo Ling'er smiled slightly. He stretched out his delicate hand and a small Tai Chi charm appeared on Xia Xie's head. Instantly, a golden light shrouded him. The surrounding temperature suddenly dropped.
A lot. Xia Xie was so happy in his heart that he hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, senior sister. Haha."
Huo Ling'er smiled and said: "You have no cultivation now. After the foundation is established, the four seasons will not be able to affect you. A year will be like the spring breeze blowing on your face."
Xia Xie asked curiously: "How long will it take to build the foundation?"
Huo Ling'er frowned and thought for a while and said: "Generally, those with spiritual roots can achieve a small success in at most one year. If I didn't have spiritual roots, I probably wouldn't be able to figure out its secrets in my lifetime. But don't worry, although Master doesn't have
I have met you, but I said you are a talented person. As long as you devote yourself to the Tao, you will soon achieve something."
Xia Xie clapped his hands and said with a smile: "That's great. It's a pity that I don't know when Master will come to accept me as his disciple. Alas!"
Huo Ling'er stood up from the little turtle's back and looked around cautiously, then floated to Xia Xie's side and said quietly: "Although Master is not here, I can teach you some basic skills. Hehe. But in the future, Master
If I ask more questions, you have to keep it a secret!" Although Huo Ling'er has good cultivation, he has never had a disciple. This time he could have accepted Xia Xie as his disciple, but his master took it away. He still feels a little itchy in his heart.
.It is a sense of accomplishment to be able to see your apprentice become better and better day by day.
Xia Xie hurriedly smiled and said: "I understand, I understand. If Master asks, I will say that Little Turtle taught me."
The speed of everyone's march along the way was actually not slow. But the animals that traveled thousands of miles a day still felt like it was crawling. I was already drowsy when I suddenly heard Xia Xie say this, and immediately stared with two eyes and said angrily:
"If you dare to frame me, be careful I kill you and silence you."
Huo Ling'er raised his pink fist and hit the little turtle's head hard. Sparks flew everywhere, and the little turtle almost hit the ground. He struggled and hurriedly flattered: "Master is wise and powerful. No matter how small or small it is,
It’s my full responsibility. I won’t hesitate to go up to the mountain of knives or to the sea of fire.”
Huo Ling'er then smiled with satisfaction and said, "Okay, it's settled. Come with me on the little turtle's back."
The little turtle was burly. The huge turtle shell could accommodate two people without any problem. After Xia Xie stepped on the back of the turtle, Huo Ling'er turned his handprints. Suddenly, a Tai Chi spell appeared above their heads and enveloped the two of them. Huo Ling'er
Then he smiled and said: "Prevent them from eavesdropping. This is the rule of our sect. The master cannot have outsiders present when he is teaching his apprentices."
Xia Xie nodded and then sat cross-legged according to Huo Ling'er's teaching. He looked at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose. Then Huo Ling'er smiled and said: "Practice our mind method starting from breathing in and out. I will teach you the mind method of reaching the sky. You
Breathing in accordance with the mental method can absorb spiritual energy into the body. Exhale the energy of waste and clumsiness. Over time, the spiritual energy that has been inhaled by you reaches a certain level, and your body will be changed by the spiritual energy accordingly. This is the first step in cultivating the Tao.
Once the foundation is completed, it will be completely transformed. The next step is to figure out how to make it into a pill."
Xia Xie blinked and asked calmly: "I don't understand something."
Huo Ling'er sighed and said: "It's a bit advanced. Let's talk about something simple. Do you understand the acupuncture points? After the spiritual energy enters the body, you need to use your mind to guide the spiritual energy to travel around the acupoints all over the body."
Xia Xie still shook his head with contentment and asked: "Acupoint? What is it?"
Huo Ling'er was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Acupuncture points are just acupoints, not something. You are as stupid as a pig." Huo Ling'er grew up around Tong Tianren, and was born with these things in his ears and eyes. He naturally accepted it.
It was very fast, but Xia Xie had never heard of this thing before. It was difficult to understand it for a while.
Huo Ling'er took a deep breath and asked, "Then what do you know about meridians?"
Xia Xie still shook his head in confusion.
Huo Ling'er took a deep breath again and asked, "Then do you know what the nine orifices are?"
Xia Xie sighed and said, "Senior sister, I can't understand a word of what you said."
Huo Ling'er immediately spoke. Looking at Xia Xie's blank eyes, he finally sighed and said: "It's not that easy to be a master. When the master taught me, I could understand it as soon as he said it. Forget it, let's start from the basics.
Let’s get started.”
Xia Xie hurriedly sat upright and pretended to listen carefully.
Huo Ling'er rummaged in his sleeves for a long time and took out a small bronze figure. The bronze figure had small holes all over its body, and there were countless small words densely packed on it. Dozens of red and yellow thin lines connected these small figures.
The holes are all connected together. It's as complex as a spider.
Huo Ling'er handed the small bronze figure to Xia Xie and said, "Careful."
Xia Xie looked up blankly for a long time, then winked and whispered: "Senior sister, I don't think this person is handsome at all. Senior sister is carrying his statue with her. Is it because she is her lover?"
Huo Ling'er immediately stood there as if struck by lightning. He didn't know what to say with his big mouth. The little turtle almost fell to the ground with a smile.
"Dong dong dong"
"Oops. Senior sister, why did you hit me?" Xia Xie asked innocently, rubbing his head.
Huo Ling'er said angrily: "What a good relationship. I asked you to find the acupuncture points and veins on your upper body. Where did you want to go? Kuchiki, Kuchiki."
Xia Xie said hurriedly: "Senior sister, you told me earlier. I also said that this bronze man is so difficult to grow. How can he be worthy of senior sister?"
"Dong dong dong."
"Sister, I don't dare anymore. I was wrong."
After struggling for a while, Xia Xie finally understood that those small holes were the legendary acupuncture points. There were notes and names beside each acupoint. And those red and yellow thin lines running through the body of the little copper figure were the meridians of the human body.
Huo Ling'er continued: "The human body is composed of internal organs, limbs, bones, five senses, and nine orifices, skin, flesh, and blood vessels. And these meridians are the channels that connect them together. They are the same as acupuncture points, although they are not visible, but you need to connect their routes
Write them all down. You will use them all the time when you practice in the future. Meridians are divided into meridians and collaterals. Meridians are the main lines, and collaterals are auxiliary lines. Meridians are divided into regular meridians and odd meridians. There are twelve regular meridians, namely the three limbs.
The yin meridian and the three yang meridians of the hands and feet. There are eight extraordinary meridians, Ren Du Chong Dai Yin Qiao Yang Qiao Yin Wei Yang Wei."
Xia Xie was listening attentively. When Huo Ling'er finished speaking, he was still confused. He just tried his best to memorize the locations and names of these acupoints. Suddenly he raised his head and asked: "What about these acupoints and meridians?"
Is it true or false that they are all missing?”
Huo Ling'er frowned and said to Xia Xie: "Below your collarbone is the Yunmen point. After I seal this point of your hand, the Taiyin and Lung meridian will be closed. Then you will feel chest tightness and abdominal distension, wheezing and coughing, and the breath will flow against the palms of your hands.
Heat, sore throat and shoulder pain will also occur at the same time." After saying this, he placed his delicate hand on Xia Xie's Yunmen point.
Xia Xie saw a golden light flash on her fingertips, and then the symptoms she mentioned began to occur one after another. Xia Xie coughed and endured the severe pain and said hurriedly: "Ahem. Senior sister, I believe it. I don't dare to do it anymore.
"
Huo Ling'er unlocked his acupuncture points and said: "I will teach you the mental method. After you remember the location of the acupoints and the direction of these meridians, you can breathe in and out. It's so frustrating." Then he raised his hand and pointed the tips of his fingers.
Slowly, a small red ball the size of a date stone floated out and floated directly into Xia Xie's Yintang. Then Xia Xie could see dense rows of small characters as soon as he closed his eyes.
Huo Ling'er suddenly said: "Don't tell me you can't read. Otherwise I will kill you."
Upon hearing this, Xia Xie hurriedly took a step back and said with a smile: "I recognize it. I recognize it. But it's just senior sister. I don't know any of the words on the mental method you taught me. Can you translate it for me?"
"Dong-dong-dong-dong-dong."
Xia Xie sat on his mount, rubbing his head and cursing in his heart. There were at least a dozen big bumps on his head, making him look like a monster. "What you gave me was a heavenly book. I only recognize the big and small seal scripts. This time
Beat him, oh! It’s better to learn less from senior sister in the future. Your life is in danger." Xia Xie thought this way.
Shen Tu Lei and the others looked at Xia Xie's big bag and felt a little angry. But then they thought about how talented Huo Ling'er and the young master are. Most likely the young master is interested in him. Then this is his family business. We still care about the prince's family business.
It's better not to interfere. So everyone was in mutual agreement. They acted as if they didn't see Xia Xie and started to do what they should do.
Xia Xie had something to do to pass the time along the way, so he didn't think there was anything wrong. He took the small bronze man and memorized the acupuncture points while memorizing the mental method. It was dark before he knew it.
After walking for two days, we have arrived at the end of the grassland. Looking in the distance is a stretch of high and low mountains. When the sun sets, Shen Tu Lei discussed with the anti-storm dragon and stopped on a high ground to rest. Prepare for the next day.
The next day we started hiking into the mountains.
After everyone set up the camp, Xia Xie walked to the campfire and asked, "How many days will it take us to reach Shaokang's location?"
Shen Tu Lei took out the map and took a look at it and said: "Climb over the mountains in front of you and you will reach the Weishui River. After crossing the Weishui River and walking for more than ten days, you will reach the Yangtze River. After crossing the Yangtze River, you will reach Yunmengze. Shaokang lived there."
Xia Xie was stunned and asked: "So far? Oh my god. I thought it would be there soon."
Shen Tu Lei said with a smile: "If we drive at full speed, we can shorten the journey by a few days. In fact, we are not walking too slowly. Today we traveled more than 500 miles in one day. But Kyushu is a bit too big. We still carry part of the luggage.
If you want to hurry, you can only throw away the baggage. That way you can travel thousands of miles in a day."
Xia Xie was stunned and asked: "Luggage? Why didn't I see it?"
Shen Tu Lei said in a low voice: "When the prince ordered us to go out to perform the mission, he asked us to take away some of the magic weapons from the prince's palace. We hid these magic weapons in the team. They were on the empty mounts. At that time, I didn't understand the prince.
Why do you do this? Now, the old prince is farsighted. With these magic weapons, we can also show our talents in southern Xinjiang."
Xia Xie understood. He was no stranger to witchcraft. Witchcraft is different from ordinary weapons. If a great witch has a witchcraft handy, his combat effectiveness can be improved by a level. If it is a high-grade witchcraft, it will be even more terrifying. But witchcraft
The production of witchcraft is very complicated, and requires a lot of time and energy. It is something that can be encountered but cannot be found. Generally, only the princes and kings in various places have some witchcraft weapons. As for those ancient legendary witchcraft weapons, Xia Xie is only
Heard of it. Never seen it.
Xia Xie sighed and said: "My father has been thinking hard for me. If I don't do something good, I will be sorry for his spirit in heaven. You should keep these witchcraft carefully." After saying that, he got into his tent and began to practice.
.
After becoming familiar with acupuncture points and meridians, Xia Xie began to practice the heart method. The formula for the heart method is actually simple. What is the north of the sky and the south of the earth? It is a loss to the sky and a loss to the stars. Of course, these formulas are completely incomprehensible if they are not explained by others.
I understand. Fortunately, Huo Ling'er beat Xia Xie violently and explained everything to him.
After Xia Xie calmed down, he began to vomit according to his mental method. He didn't feel any difference when he breathed in and out. Xia Xie once suspected that his senior sister was shaking him. One hour passed, and two hours passed.
He didn't feel the spiritual energy was there, but he still breathed out calmly. Finally, after four hours on the ground, he suddenly felt a warm current walking through his body.
This warm current was unusual. Every time he passed a place, Xia Xie felt indescribably comfortable. Just like Zhu Bajie had eaten a ginseng fruit, his pores felt comfortable. Xia Xie realized that the Taoist warm current was the so-called spiritual energy. He hurriedly followed the instructions
After the spiritual energy is guided through the acupuncture point, you will feel a numbness. After the numbness, the surrounding area of the acupuncture point is as if soaked in warm water. This feeling makes people linger.
Now Xia Xie can only control his spiritual power within the Taiyin Lung Meridian in his hands. However, it is still indescribably useful. After a week of running, he opened his eyes and immediately felt as comfortable as the spring breeze blowing on his face. But at this time
It is already dawn.
Xia Xie was not sleepy at all. He thought that he should do it again. Just as he closed his eyes, he suddenly heard a flurry of footsteps outside. Xia Xie felt a little strange and rushed out of the camp. There was a lot of blood outside the camp.
The evil guard had already jumped on his mount and rushed out. Shen Tu Lei came over with more than a dozen high-ranking shamans and said to him: "Your Majesty, there is a sneak attack. Stay still and don't move." After saying that, he rushed to the front of the camp.
