After all, this night was a sleepless night. Xuanmu no longer had the energy during the day, and he lay on the bed looking sick. There were thousands of thoughts in his mind, and many pictures flashed through his mind. He thought of many people.
Only without his parents, he didn't know what his parents were like.
He thought of his partner, the dark-skinned boy named Xu He. Unfortunately, he had no spiritual roots, so he had no chance to follow him to Kunlun.
He even thought of the old man who gave him a rosary, which was a string of sandalwood rosary beads. He held the rosary in his hand, and many thoughts were flashing in his mind.
The little guy remembered the fairy peach on Dengtian Peak, and he was so hungry that he sneaked out of the room and wanted to go to Dengtian Peak to steal a fairy peach to eat.
However, he had just walked to the front yard. The white moonlight shone in the yard, allowing him to see the snowdrops in the yard. The blooming snowdrops were particularly brilliant. He took a look and picked one.
Lotus, peel off a petal and chew it, and feel a little bitter.
Xuanmu didn't feel bitter at all, but ate it with relish. Then he walked straight outside the Taoist temple. Outside the Taoist temple, there was only the air-conditioning that filled the sky and the earth, and there was nothing else. Xuanmu looked at it and was silent for a long time.
Then he shook his head and walked towards the Taoist temple.
He walked around the Taoist temple and then walked towards the kitchen inside the Taoist temple. The kitchen was filled with ashes. What surprised Xuanmu was that there were some rice noodles here.
However, these rice noodles were a bit old. If it weren't for the cold weather around the Taoist temple and the lack of rats running rampant, none of these rice noodles would have been left. Fortunately, he found the fire folds and lit a fire. He heated it up.
Stir-fried stale brown rice.
"Huh?" Xuan Yan was sleeping when she suddenly smelled a tangy fragrance and woke up suddenly. "That foodie must be looking for something to eat in the middle of the night."
She simply put on her clothes and followed the scent.
There was a "squeak", and Xuanmu, who was eating fried rice popsicles while he was roasting on the fire, jumped up in surprise, causing the fried rice popsicles in the bowl to spill all over the floor.
"Hey, little junior brother, are you warming up by the fire here?" Xuan Yan saw Xuan Mu eating secretly as soon as she came in, but she didn't mention it clearly in her words.
"It's you! It scared me. I thought it was a lonely ghost somewhere." Xuanmu didn't have nice words in his mouth, and he didn't use curse words when he cursed.
"You're a lonely ghost! Where are you eating some fried rice cakes? It's true that you're a foodie."
A bowl, and then he took a spoonful of fried rice pops without any courtesy.
"Senior sister, you are too rude."
"We will be brothers and sisters from now on, why should we be polite?" Xuan Yan found a high-sounding reason for herself.
"Really? When senior sister ate cakes in the afternoon, she didn't feel like a sister or brother at all." Xuanmu couldn't help but asked in a strange tone.
"Oh, did you eat cakes this afternoon? Why don't I remember?" Xuan Yan looked at the beams and laughed.
"Forget it, I won't argue with you anymore. You won't be able to eat those few cakes for long. From now on, we will have to rely on this bag of rice."
"You mean we have to do our own food, clothing, housing and transportation in the future? Master, doesn't he care about us?"
"Nonsense, master is not our biological parents." Xuan Mu suddenly looked at Xuan Yan as if he were an idiot.
"Ah ha...! Wuwuwuwu... It's hard to cultivate the Tao! It's hard to reach the blue sky!" Xuan Yan looked aggrieved and pretended to cry. Then she suddenly thought of something and said: "Where are you from?
Na?"
"I'm from Yangzhou. What about you? You look a bit like someone from Chang'an, Kyoto."
"How did you guess that? My family is rich. If you guarantee senior sister's food and drink in the future, senior sister will definitely let my father take care of your family after she comes down from the mountain." Xuan Yan wanted to deceive her with one sentence.
For some reason, Xuanmu looked gloomy and disappointed when he heard this. After eating, he continued: "Let's talk about it tomorrow, junior brother went to bed."
Although Xuan Yan was a little confused, it was hard to ask. After the two of them talked about it, they stopped talking and went back to their rooms. Xuan Yan didn't know that Xuan Mu had no relatives in his family, but he was just a rice cook who grew up in a family.
Big orphan. For an orphan, this is undoubtedly a great pain.
However, when Xuanmu returned to the room and blew out the candles in the room, Xuanyan also returned to the room and slept peacefully. At this time, Xuanmu sneaked out of the wing again, walked slowly to the front yard, and
Always lingering in the front yard.
He discovered that there was something wrong with the mutton-fat jade pillar at noon. Although he did not feel what the problem was, he faintly felt that there was a breath in his body that was the same as that emitted by the mutton-fat jade pillar.
He slowly looked around the mutton-fat jade pillar, which was crystal clear. The more it was under the moonlight, the more translucent it appeared.
A lotus carving that emitted an elegant silver light caught Xuan Mu's attention. He slowly looked at the place where the snow lotus pattern was carved. He looked at the carving quietly. The carving was slightly turbid compared to other places.
His right hand slowly stroked it, and when he touched the lotus stamen, his fingers suddenly trembled.
His eyes flickered, and he clicked on the stamen with a little interest. Suddenly, the petals popped open, and there was actually a ring embedded in it.
Xuanmu stared at the ring calmly, with no intention of taking it. Instead, he found a piece of sandalwood and carefully picked up the ring with the sandalwood. The ring fell to the ground with a clang.
The snowdrop carving pattern immediately bounced back, and no trace of movement could be seen at all.
A simple ring fell to the ground, and he was still considering whether to pick it up with his hands. In the end, he wrapped the ring in his clothes. It was a silver ring. After he rubbed it with his clothes, the ring appeared on the surface.
There is nothing attached to it.
This silver ring is inlaid with a white cat's eye stone. The stone is completely round. There is a bit of jet black ink in the center.
He was still worried, so he wrapped the ring in his clothes and placed it in the snow water. Immediately, the white snow water turned into a large piece of black, and the black color continued to spread. Xuanmu knew that something was wrong at this time, and quickly
He put away the ring wrapped in clothes in his hand. Then he quickly ran out of the Taoist temple and slowly put it down into the heavy snowdrift.
Something strange immediately appeared. The large area of white snow around the silver ring immediately turned black. It was like a stream of ink, slowly flowing towards the foot of the mountain.
Finally, when the white snow around him stopped reacting, Xuanmu tore up a strip of cloth from his clothes and rubbed the ring clean before slowly putting it on the middle finger of his right hand.
After he got the ring, he ran back to his room to sleep with great joy.
Early the next morning, Xuanmu felt something was wrong. He quickly got up and heard Yunlan's voice outside the door. "Xuanmu, my teacher is waiting for you in the front hall. I will teach you the practice of wood later.*
*."
As soon as he heard Yun Lan say that he wanted to teach **, his eyes suddenly opened. He rolled off the bed and scurried into the front hall like a rabbit.
"Good morning, master!"
Xuan Yan had already stood upright on one side, looking at Xuan Mu with contempt and saying nothing.
"Okay, today I will teach you the mental method during the Qi Refining Period." Yun Lan said, handing the two jade slips in his hands to Xuan Yan and Xuan Mu respectively. "This is your mental method.
, one is the ice-based heart method "Bing Xin Jue", and the other is the wood-based heart method "Longevity Heart Method"."
"Um, is this a jade slip?" Xuanmu asked with confusion.
Of course, this is the Kunlun sect that has jade slips. If it were from other sects, it must be bamboo slips or sheepskin scrolls. The reason why the Kunlun sect is so rich is because Hetian jade is produced at the foot of the Kunlun Mountains, so there is a lot of jade.
"Are you illiterate?" Xuan Yan suddenly asked.
"Who is illiterate? Who do you think is illiterate? Isn't this Shouyue Changsheng and the green pines standing tall?" Xuanmu immediately pointed to a few words on the jade slip and retorted.
"You two, don't argue. Since you are both literate, I won't explain more. Just follow my example and practice. Remember, in practice, you need to have a pure mind and forget about the world. Only when your mind is free of distracting thoughts can your mind move as you please. You are all
Children with spiritual roots naturally do not need to open their spiritual veins. They only need to follow this mental method to practice, so that they can communicate with the world and absorb the spiritual energy of the world." After Yun Lan finished speaking, she sat cross-legged and meditated.
The two children also imitated Yun Lan and sat down cross-legged. After Yun Lan showed them the mental method once, he asked them to close their eyes and hold their breath, silently reciting the method in their hearts, and let the spiritual energy they inhaled guide them.
It flows through the major meridians in the body.
As he gradually guided his breathing and breathing, Xuanmu felt a stream of warm current entering his body, and finally stopped at Zifu.
This made Xuanmu's eyes light up, and he began to breathe again. Sure enough, another warm current entered the meridians in his body, but it did not stay in Zifu, but gradually dissipated. This also made him a little annoyed.
.
However, he soon adjusted his mentality and continued to talk.
As he gradually breathed out, he seemed to have entered a state of trance without any discomfort. Time passed slowly like this, and it was night again in the blink of an eye.
"Xuanmu, Xuanyan. I've gone back to my room as my master. From now on, you should practice what you did today and persevere. Coupled with your qualifications, you will definitely be able to break through the first level within a month." Yun Lan suddenly stood up.
, said something and left.
Xuan Yan also opened her eyes suddenly, with a sad face, and quickly ran to the toilet.
Xuanmu was reminiscing about the feeling of breathing in and out, but no matter how he reminisced about it, he couldn't remember what it felt like. It was an indescribable feeling.
Helpless, he ran towards the kitchen and worked for a long time. Finally, he cooked a pot of rice and it was ready. Xuan Yan also came, so he had to share the rice with Xuan Yan. After he devoured it, he returned to the room.
"I'm very hungry today. Go to bed early. Can you really become an immortal? Master will leave us alone tomorrow. I will go down the mountain to find some food." He muttered and lay down on the bed.
