Where is the future? He doesn't know; what will happen tomorrow? He has no idea.
He felt that he was an abandoned child, helpless and left to fend for himself.
"No! I want to go out! I want to go back!"
Tianjiu roared loudly and sat up cross-legged, with absolute determination in his eyes.
"I want to practice, I want to become stronger, and I want to control my own destiny! I will never be a waste to be slaughtered by others!"
Tianjiu shouted in his heart and resolutely took out the two books in his backpack.
A copy of "Inner Soul Sutra" and a broken copy of "Luotian Jue".
"Luo Tian Jue" was beyond recognition and was burned by the fire until only a few pages in the middle were left. Tianjiu was sure that the book would not be of much use to him, so he put it back into his backpack. He carefully collected everything he brought from the earth.
Keep it in mind so that you don’t forget where you came from and where you are going in the end.
Tianjiu opened the "Inner Spirit Heart Sutra" and studied it with concentration...
An hour later, he raised his head, with a hint of excitement on his face.
It turns out that this "Inner Soul Sutra" explains how to absorb spiritual energy, how to guide the spiritual energy to circulate in the body, and finally how to convert the spiritual energy into spiritual power and store it in the Dantian.
This is similar to the method taught to him by the white-bearded old man who was killed by him, but the "Inner Spirit Heart Sutra" is more straightforward and easy to understand, and the walking route is also very different from what the old man taught.
On the last page, there are actually two small spells, the Fire Blade Technique and the Fire Blade Technique. The Fire Blade Technique is a spell that teaches how to use the spiritual power of the Dantian to form a fire knife outside the body and then attack. The Fire Blade Technique is a spell that uses spiritual power.
, an auxiliary spell that gathers the water aura in the air and turns it into raindrops.
Tianjiu cannot practice these two spells now. The most fundamental reason is that he has almost no spiritual power in his body. But Tianjiu is very interested in the Fire Blade Technique because it is an attack spell. If you learn it well, you can have an extra life-saving weapon.
Means. In this bizarre world, he really needs life-saving means to make himself feel at ease.
After studying it carefully several times, Tianjiu jumped up to the eaves, sat cross-legged on the roof, and began his first practice in the world of immortality.
He closed his eyes and concentrated, using his spiritual consciousness to sense the spiritual energy of the world around him.
"Cool!"
Tianjiu exclaimed, his shock evident in his words.
His consciousness clearly sensed that the air was filled with rich spiritual energy. If what he saw on the earth were only cyan molecules, here it was almost a cyan ocean.
He tried to practice using the techniques taught by the old man with white beard.
As soon as he started to move, there was a "buzzing" sound all over his body. As if he had been hit hard, those spiritual energy groups swarmed into his veins. The dry veins river bed was gurgling with moist spiritual beads. These spiritual beads washed away
Holding his limbs and bones, he rushed towards Dantian after a week.
Suddenly, a purple bead appeared and was embedded at the entrance of Dantian.
"Eh? Purple Pearl!" Tianjiu was startled and almost lost his spiritual energy.
This purple bead was swallowed up by him through some strange combination of circumstances. It was the bead from the top of the Baoguang Tower.
Fortunately, after the aura molecules met the purple beads, they were not hindered by any obstacles and passed through the beads like a filter.
However, after each group of spiritual energy molecules passed through the purple beads, they suddenly became much smaller and whiter.
"Mom, if I eat you, you won't eat my spiritual energy, right?!" Tianjiu wailed.
He really wanted to find a doctor, cut open his belly, and dig out the damn bead. However, the idea was in vain. This was not the earth. There were no doctors with scalpels, only monks with machetes.
Zizhu always swallows less than half of the spiritual energy at the moment when the spiritual energy molecules enter the Dantian. After being swallowed by the robbery, the remaining spiritual energy that enters the Dantian turns white and disappears after it penetrates into the Dantian.
"Oh, you are so cruel! I admit defeat, it is really my greed that kills people!" Tianjiu thought helplessly.
He practiced this method for three hours, and finally found a thread of spiritual energy floating in his Dantian. This should be the so-called spiritual power.
He then tried to practice using the method of the "Inner Spirit Heart Sutra", and found that this method was unsatisfactory in absorbing spiritual energy. Both the speed and the density of absorption were much worse than the old man's method.
An hour later, Tianjiu stopped. He couldn't stand this snail-like speed.
"It seems that the old man's spells are really powerful! It's a pity that the "Luo Tian Jue" was burned. Maybe there are many powerful spells in it!" Tianjiu thought with regret.
After roasting and eating a few sweet potatoes, the valley gradually turned dark.
The little frog had long since hid in Tianjiu's backpack and fell asleep, as if one meal would last him a long time. This made Tianjiu's wish to blackmail him again come to nothing.
He went to cut dozens of kilograms of small thread grass and threw it into the spirit pig pen. After the spirit pigs finished eating, Tianjiu drove them into the house one by one. This is work that must be done every day, otherwise,
The spirit pigs will be infected with yin energy at night, leading to illness and death. To his satisfaction, the spirit piglets would not make any fuss or scream as long as they had enough food and drink, and would quickly fall asleep in the house.
After Tianjiu finished all this, the sky turned completely black.
The valley was eerily silent, and from the distant mountains and forests, the shrill cries of wild beasts began to come from nowhere, making people's hair stand on end.
Tianjiu returned to the roof, sat down cross-legged, and piled thick withered grass around his body, leaving only his head exposed. He gave up the cultivation method of the "Inner Spirit Heart Sutra", but still followed the old man's method and practiced hard.
.
As soon as he entered the realm of cultivation, the fear in his heart weakened a lot.
The next morning, he was awakened by the dewdrops. Last night, while practicing, he fell asleep unknowingly. He tried to move his body, but everything was intact, and three spiritual energy threads floated in his Dantian.
After he finished his potato breakfast, he hummed a little tune and drove the piglets out of the house one by one. After driving away the piglets from the last house, he realized something was wrong and hurriedly turned back to clean up the situation.
"Mom! There are actually ten missing." Tianjiu shouted. This was his lifeblood, so he couldn't make any mistakes.
"Could a wild beast come in?" Tianjiu guessed.
He checked all the buildings one by one. There were no signs of movement on the doors or windows, and there were no signs of wild beasts. He checked "The Spiritual Pig's Experience" several times, but there was no relevant information.
"It seems that there will be a vigil tonight!" Tianjiu couldn't help but shudder when he thought of the howling ghosts and wolves at night.
Next, he cheered up, cut the grass and fed the pigs, and continued to meditate and practice. The little frog was still sleeping and never woke up. When it got dark again, Tianjiu gathered all the piglets in the largest
In that room, the little piglets all fell asleep not long after they were full.
Tianjiu sat in the corner of the room, nervously paying attention to the movement of the doors and windows. He reloaded the bullets of the silenced pistol and held it tightly in his hand. In this way, he had to put aside his training in the hope of finding that damn guy.
. He didn't close his eyes the whole night, but nothing happened. Even the shrill scream last night only appeared occasionally a few times.
In the morning, Tianjiu ate up the sweet potato listlessly. When he took out the piglets one by one, he realized that the number was wrong again - ten more piglets were missing!
Tianjiu's heart felt cold. Nothing happened at night, so why was it still missing?
"Is there a ghost?!"
Tianjiu shuddered when he thought of ghosts. He had long heard that there were many ghosts in the world of immortality. What would he do if he encountered them? He had no confidence that he could defeat the ghosts with that pistol. He said no.
After the prospective piglet has finished eating, it's his turn.
For a whole day, Tianjiu was not in the mood to practice. He just fed the piglets mechanically.
When night fell again, Tianjiu felt extremely nervous. He felt that if there were no more piggies tonight, he would definitely have a mental breakdown.
The little frog croaked twice, and the little frog woke up at some point. It screamed and jumped out of the backpack. It came to Tianjiu, who was in a daze, and rubbed his head on Tianjiu's instep.
"Huh? Let's go, go! Don't bother me!" Tianjiu pushed the little frog away impatiently.
The little frog croaked a few more times, jumped irritably in front of Tianjiu, and pointed at the yam in the corner from time to time.
"Oh! You foodie! Eat, eat, eat! When the evil spirits come and eat us all, you will stop." Tianjiu muttered, but still set up a fire and roasted sweet potatoes in the house. After a while,
The whole valley is filled with fragrance again.
"Little frog, what are you giving me in exchange for my sweet potato this time? I don't get my food for free!" Tianjiu picked up a roasted sweet potato and said while eating it.
The little frog kept shaking his head and croaked anxiously when Tianjiu refused to feed him.
"Otherwise, if you help me find the guy who stole the piglet, I will feed it to you. No, I can also bake yams for you for a month." Tianjiu had a sudden idea and said to the little boy.
said the frog.
The little frog was startled for a moment, then nodded sharply without hesitation.
"Okay! This is what you promised. If you can't find it, I will roast you first before I am eaten by the evil ghost. Alas, I heard that frog meat tastes much better when roasted than this potato.
Got it!" Tianjiu said in a bluff.
The little frog ignored him and ate the potatoes.
Tianjiu shook his head and smiled bitterly. It seemed that relying on the little frog was unreliable.
It was dark outside at night. In fact, the darkness was not a big problem for Tianjiu, because he could now clearly see the scene dozens of meters away in the dark night. However, when the fire was burning, he still felt warm in his heart.
He was not that afraid. So, he kept adding firewood to the fire. After eating the roasted potatoes, the little frog lay on Tianjiu's head and took a nap.
Tianjiu held a wooden stick and fiddled with the fire, looking at the dancing orange flames, as if he was in another world. He seemed to feel that he was back in the warm hut on the earth...
While he was in a trance, he suddenly felt something tearing his hair. He shook his head and came to his senses. The little frog was patting his head eagerly, staring at the pile of piglets.
Following the little frog's gaze, Tianjiu was surprised to find that in the next room, a one-foot-sized brick slowly arched up from the bluestone floor next to the pile of piglets. Then the brick shook slightly and fell to the side, revealing a cave.
Then, a furry monster slowly crawled out, with a cat face and a mouse body, long sharp claws, and countless black caltrops stuck on its back.
Regarding the firelight from the fire, the monster hesitated for a long time at first, but finally realized that there was no threat. It jumped up and ducked to a sleeping piglet. With a shake on its back, a black caltrop shot accurately
The ground was inserted into the piggy's heart. The piggy didn't even make a sound, its head fell to the side, and not a trace of blood flowed from the body. Obviously, this black caltrop was highly poisonous.
The cat-faced monster stretched out its sharp claws, grabbed the dead piggy, and dragged it towards the entrance of the cave.
Tianjiu hurriedly climbed to the wall, aimed his gun at the monster, and pulled the trigger just as the cat-faced monster was about to enter the cave entrance.
There was a slight popping sound, a bloody hole appeared on the monster's head, and it fell down beside the hole.
Tianjiu waited for half a quarter of an hour, but saw no movement from the monster. He plucked up the courage and walked over, only to find that the cat-faced monster was indeed dead, and there was a pool of black blood flowing beside the hole.
"Hey! I killed you. I almost collapsed." Tianjiu took a pistol and knocked the monster's corpse hard. Then he carried the monster and the dead piggy back to the fire.
The little frog looked at the corpses of the monster and piggy, and let out a long sigh.
"No way, you eat this? This guy is poisonous, are you not afraid of death?" Tianjiu looked at the little frog strangely. The dead piglet was black all over and was extremely poisoned.
The little frog nodded repeatedly.
"Okay! You can eat it if you like. Don't blame me if it's poisoned!" Tianjiu didn't bother to pay attention to it, and went back to the pile of piglets to check the situation. He knocked on the ground carefully to make sure there were no other holes.
, sealed the hole.
The little frog gnawed excitedly by the fire. After Tianjiu returned, there were only hundreds of black caltrops left on the ground. The black caltrops were as small as needles, as hard as iron, and weighed slightly in the hand.
Tianjiu shook his head and laughed. "Little frog, you are just a garbage recycling station. It seems that you are a good tool for traveling at home, killing people, grabbing treasures, and destroying corpses and eliminating traces!"
The little frog looked confused, probably because he didn't know what a garbage recycling bin was, so he burped and lay down next to the fire and fell asleep.
Tianjiu put away the black caltrops on the ground one by one. A faint black light appeared on the black caltrops, which made him realize that this thing should be useful. It must be good for using to inflict evil on people. If the poison is strong enough, it might be good.
Offensive weapons. His pistol only has a dozen magazines of bullets. When they are used up, there is no place in the world to replenish them, so save what you can.
He sat tiredly, taking a nap while paying attention to what was going on next door. The night passed quickly. When he woke up at midnight, it was already three o'clock in the morning and the sun was high. The first thing he did when he woke up was, of course, to go
Counting the pigs. After repeated verifications, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. Except for the one that was stabbed to death last night, there were all the others.
The crisis was finally resolved and he could start practicing properly again.
