There is no shortcut to martial arts practice. If you want to make rapid progress with the help of magical elixirs and geniuses, it is best to consider yourself first to see if you were born into an emperor's family and to see if there are really immortals above saints. If there are immortals.
, we also have to see if the small arms and legs can survive until this day.
Therefore, Honglian's method is the best method. You can endure hardships that others cannot endure, suffer sins that others cannot endure, and achieve things that others cannot.
"Heaven is about to entrust this man with a great responsibility. He must first strain his mind, strain his muscles and bones, starve his body and skin, and deplete his body..."
Although the Red Lotus Monk practices Buddhism, he has done a lot of research on Confucianism and Taoism, especially the words of the Confucian sages, and he deeply agrees with them.
In front of the cold pool, Honglian put down the food box in his hand and called out: "Come up, kid! Let's continue after eating and drinking."
Li Taiping persisted at the bottom of the pool for half a night. Except for showing his head when breathing, he basically sat quietly at the bottom of the pool to contend with the biting cold air. With Li Taiping's ninth-level cultivation of both internal and external skills, he was able to
Tanxia was also frozen to the point of losing consciousness. If his mind hadn't been clear, he probably wouldn't have been able to hear Honglian's greeting.
For Li Taiping, Honglian's voice at this moment was like the sound of nature, the most beautiful voice in the world...
Li Taiping jumped out of the medicine pool, and an extremely cold air filled the entire cave. He saw two white dragons in Li Taiping's nostrils going in and out. Those were not white dragons, they had invaded Li Taiping.
The cold and cold air of the bone marrow.
"Young man, can you still hold on?" Honglian said with a smile.
Li Taiping was so cold that his tongue didn't work very well, so he slurred his words and said, "Let me eat until I'm full first!"
Under the cold pool, not only the true energy was consumed quickly, but also the physical strength was also consumed quickly. Li Taiping's belly was already empty. Although the food was light and not meaty enough, the food was just as exciting, and he ate it all in a short time. Li Taiping watched helplessly.
Hong Lian's eyes seemed to be able to speak, "Holy Monk, have mercy on this poor boy! Give me more charity, even a mouthful will do the trick!".
Hong Lian hugged her tightly and ate, and said seriously: "Boy, you are at the critical moment now to relax your tendons and cleanse your marrow. You must not be greedy! You must know that the more you eat, the more impurities will be in your body. If not for fear that you will lose strength.
, If you can’t resist this pool of water, I won’t give you food.”
Li Taiping said pitifully: "Can't you even take one bite?"
"No, not even half of it! You have to endure hardships to become a master. You have to hold on. By the way - the water in the pond may look strange at noon. Don't panic then. Just use the cold air in your body to tell the difference.
You can survive peacefully if you resist." Honglian said while eating.
Honglian was quite trustworthy and didn't just indulge in eating and forget important things.
For a hungry person, it is very painful to watch others feast while he has nothing to eat. For Li Taiping, it is even more uncomfortable than being in the cold pool.
Li Taiping was very suspicious that Honglian was deceiving him because the old guy was very greedy, but he had no evidence to prove whether this method of cultivation required dieting.
Since I can't stand it any longer, I might as well not watch it. Li Taiping said angrily: "Monk, please eat slowly and don't choke! I still want to practice, so I won't accompany you." With that, he
I plunged headlong into the pond, even if I took one more look I was afraid that I would be disturbed and would curse the meat-and-wine monk.
When Honglian saw Li Taiping diving into the deep pool, she whispered: "If you take one bite, I will have to take one less bite. If you want to take my share, there is no way!"
After eating and drinking enough, Honglian returned to the cave entrance with the food box...
When the two elders heard the footsteps behind them, they couldn't help but secretly cursed, "That kid Han Chanzi is really stupid. The demon monk is back, and the reinforcements haven't come yet. It seems that it's really unwise to place your hopes on that silly kid!"
.
"How come the food in Dongxuan Temple has not changed for two hundred years and is still so unpalatable!" Hong Lian sat behind the two elders and complained.
Hearing Hong Lian's words, the two elders couldn't help but feel secretly shocked. Two hundred years ago? Could this demonic monk be the same Hong who made a big fuss in Cave Xuan Temple more than two hundred years ago, forcibly occupied the medicine bath for more than two months, and injured countless Taoist masters?
Lotus Monk?
Not many people in Dongxuan Temple know about the Red Lotus Monk. Except for the previous temple masters, they are the elders responsible for guarding the medicine pool. They have never heard of the Red Lotus Monk.
Hong Lian looked at the backs of the two elders and said with a smile: "You two guessed right, I am the Red Lotus demon monk. How about it? Isn't it surprising? Isn't it a pleasant surprise?"
"If you can see through other people's thoughts, it is undoubtedly that monster monk!" The two elders sighed inwardly.
At this moment, the two elders hoped that Han Chanzi would be more stupid and not tell others about the medicine bath. The demon monk would naturally leave after he had stayed enough, so there was no need to chase him away, which would only increase casualties.
Li Taiping felt very uncomfortable under the cold pool. The true energy was running much faster than usual, and the consumption was naturally faster. It was necessary to increase the speed of the true energy. If the true energy was still flowing as usual,
It is estimated that the meridians in the body will be frozen by the cold air. You don't have to think about the consequences.
Increasing the speed of the movement of Qi places a heavy burden on the meridians and is a very dangerous thing. If it is not done correctly, the meridians will be injured, which can range from a loss of martial arts skills to death, so few people in the world do this.
, all because the risks outweigh the benefits.
The days under the cold pool seemed like years, and it seemed like forever. Li Taiping didn't know what time it was in the outside world, and he just gritted his teeth and held on. Just when Li Taiping was about to lose his strength, a sudden change occurred under the cold pool...
The Jade Emperor gave a golden seal to descend to earth to suppress a flaming evil dragon, so that it could never stand up and cause harm to the world. When the First Emperor came to Fangshan, he saw that he had the spirit of the emperor, so he broke it with his whip, and now there are three Fangshan.
This is the origin of Fangshan. This version spread among the people, which Honglian believes in, is because the two whips of the First Emperor destroyed the magic power of the golden seal, allowing the evil dragon to mess around with a cup of tea every day.
.
The basalt under the cold pool has changed color, like a red-hot iron, and waves of heat are pouring out of the ground, boiling the water in the cold pool.
When the change occurred, Li Taiping was really frightened and almost jumped out of the cold pool. Fortunately, he remembered Honglian's instructions in time and calmed down. At first, the temperature of the water rose unpleasantly, but Li Taiping quite enjoyed it, but it didn't take long.
He couldn't stand it anymore, so he hurriedly moved the cold air from his body to the surface of his body, so that he could resist the heat wave.
Fortunately, the heat wave did not last long. When the cold air was about to run out, the heat wave stopped appearing and the water temperature also dropped sharply. The sudden change from warm to cold made Li Taiping shiver and felt very uncomfortable.
Li Taiping was in a cold pool that alternated between hot and cold, as if he was like pig iron in the hands of a blacksmith, constantly hammering and forging to remove impurities. This feeling cannot be experienced personally unless one is exposed to it.
Not only did Li Taiping suffer a lot on this day, but the cicada who brought the food didn't suffer much either.
In Dongxuan Temple, a young disciple had to practice Taoist talismans in the morning. The absent-minded Han Chanzi drew many talismans and was scolded by the elders. Han Chanzi also ate lunch as boring as chewing wax. The martial arts practice in the afternoon was even more exciting.
There were so many mistakes and omissions that the other Taoist priests had to hide far away for fear of being stabbed to the core by Han Chanzi's sword.
Han Chanzi, the picture of the entrance to the medicine pool was all over his mind that day. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't drive it away. Until dinner was about to be served, Han Chanzi couldn't hold it in any longer.
On the way to the Zhaitang, Han Chanzi blocked the Dongxuan Temple and told him everything he had seen in the morning.
After hearing what Han Chanzi said, the prison guard was very angry, but his expression was very calm. He did not immediately blame Han Chanzi. Instead, he ordered Han Chanzi to prepare food boxes for four people and go to the medicine pool to deliver food as usual.
Han Chanzi was not surprised when she saw the prison hospital. She thought that the old monk was indeed arranged by the temple, so she didn't worry about it and quickly carried the food box to the medicine bath.
Han Chanzi didn't know that as soon as he left, the prison guards followed him with the masters from the temple.
At the entrance of the medicine bath, Han Chanzi put down the food box in his hand, bowed and left. But the old monk suddenly said: "Fellow Taoists from Dongxuan Temple, since you are here, why don't you show up to see me? It would be disrespectful to hide your head and tail."
"
The supervisor of Dongxuan Temple is the junior disciple of the temple master. He has a ninth-grade cultivation level. His pair of male and female swords have made quite a name in the world. They are considered to be among the top masters in Dongxuan Temple.
Since the old monk revealed his whereabouts, the prison led several experts to surround the entrance of the medicine bath, and at the same time said loudly: "The medicine bath is a forbidden area of the temple. Outsiders are not allowed to enter without permission. The Master forced his way into my forbidden area and detained my elder.
If you can't give this prison a reasonable explanation, don't blame this prison for punishing you."
Hong Lian chuckled and said, "Senior Monk, I never tell others what I do. If you want to be punished, show your true skills and let the Monk see you."
"Where did this wild monk come from? He really doesn't know the bounds of heaven and earth, and he dares to act wild in this temple." A Taoist temple deacon saw the elder guard winking at him, thinking that he was asking him to help him quickly, so he angrily rushed out and rushed towards him.
red lotus.
When the two elders saw the deacon rushing towards him, they couldn't help but secretly sigh in their hearts, "Wrong! Wrong! That's not what I meant, eh -" and then they closed their eyes and couldn't bear to look at it anymore.
The deacon of the Taoist temple was in the air when he saw the two guarding elders suddenly closing their eyes. He thought that he had taken action too late and the two elders were killed, so he couldn't help but be furious...
To become a Taoist deacon, you must have at least a seventh-level cultivation level. This impulsive deacon's cultivation level is enough, but his eyesight is not good enough and his brain is not bright enough. Both elders are not weaker than him and they were captured by the old monk.
He was the only one who rushed forward. This was not rescuing others. This was clearly sending him to his death.
The deacon's sword was very fast, and it came to Honglian's eyes in the blink of an eye. Honglian grabbed it casually, and the long sword was barely able to advance. At the same time, he said with a smile: "The posture is good, but the strength and true energy are a bit weak.
Why don't we meditate and practice together in this medicine pool."
As Hong Lian finished speaking, the deacon was shaken all over, his sword dropped from his hand, and he fell down in front of the cave...
