Seeing that Yan Yan was back to his usual capable self, and it seemed like nothing was wrong, Bi Chengxuan's heart was mostly relieved.
Seeing Yanyan's vigorous waving of the vegetable shovel, Bi Cheng couldn't help but ask: "Master, are you hungry?"
Yan Yan continued to wield the vegetable shovel: "Yeah."
Bi Cheng frowned.
The big plate of steamed buns he sent her in the afternoon was enough for Master to feed her three meals. She got hungry so quickly?
By the way, Master said she wanted to practice.
Do monks spend a lot of energy when practicing?
So Master, she became very good at eating.
Bi Cheng put his thoughts into perspective and immediately stopped worrying about it.
Then he asked again: "Master, where did you get that thing in the yard?"
"Uh, um..." The hand waving the spatula paused.
Looking back at the little beast next to him, Yanyan smiled: "This is a gift from a little friend!"
Bi Cheng frowned again.
kid?
Where did the master come from as a child and send wild beasts to him in the middle of the night?
He always felt that something was wrong with his master, but he couldn't explain it.
But seeing that Yan Yan still had to cook several dishes, Bi Cheng sympathized with her for recovering from a serious illness, and immediately stepped forward to take the spatula: "Master, please go back to the room and rest, and the apprentice will do all the work."
Yan Yan handed the spatula to Bi Cheng, turned around and walked out.
The little beast swung its big tail, jumped off the stove, and followed him out.
Bi Cheng was very quick at cooking, and within a short time four or five dishes were on the table.
When he came back from cleaning the pot, all the plates on the table were empty, not even a bit of soup was left.
Bi Cheng: "..."
Is this... the Taotie magic skill that Master practices?
Completely ignoring Bi Cheng's surprised expression.
Yan Yan stroked his stomach and said calmly: "Master, I have eaten enough and you have worked hard. If you have nothing else to do, go back and rest."
After saying that, he turned around and blinked at the little beast lying on the table licking its paws in a direction that Bi Cheng couldn't see.
Little beast: "ton~ba~"
Bi Cheng put away the plates on the table, wondering whether he should remind his master that after eating so much, it was best to eat up before going to bed.
After Bi Cheng put away the dishes and left, Yan Yan leaned on the bedside, touched the furry top hair of the little beast, and started a strange chat mode of one person and one monster.
Yan Yan: "I don't know who you are, so I'll call you Tongba from now on." Anyway, that's what you call yourself.
Tonba shook his big tail: "Tonba!"
The owner is so nice, he even gave it a name, I’m so happy!
From now on, it is also a monster with a name, happy!
Yan Yan: "Is it true that most people can't see you?"
Tonba: "Tonba!"
Yup!
Although Tonba couldn't speak human language, Yanyan found that she could actually understand the meaning of its calls. This experience was quite novel.
Yan Yan continued to ask: "What about the monks? Can only monks see you?"
Tonba shook his head: "Ton~ba~"
Yan Yan guessed that it meant he was not sure. He asked again, "Does that mean people with low cultivation level can't see you?"
This time Tonba shouted simply: "Tonba!"
Yes!
It seems that this little guy's hidden ability is still quite good.
Yan Yan was curious: "Are you born with invisibility? Or as long as you are willing, even a mortal can see you."
Tonba blinked his big moon-blue eyes, stretched out a small paw, and gently drew two vertical lines on the back of Yanyan's hand.
Yan Yan thought about it and realized that it was choosing the second one.
In other words, as long as it is willing, even mortals can see it.
So it was deliberately invisible in front of Bi Cheng just now.
After getting familiar with it later, Bi Cheng can also see it as long as Tonba is willing.
This little thing is not only greedy, but also quite thoughtful.
Yan Yan thought for a while and asked: "Then why can I see you? When you stole the steamed buns in the afternoon, did you let me see you on purpose?"
Tonba immediately shook his fat face: "Tonba! Tonba!"
Yanyan understood instantly: No!
Is it because she started practicing spiritual practice?
But her current cultivation level is just that of a warrior. How could she possibly see this little guy with powerful invisibility skills based on her cultivation level?
Tonba tilted his head and looked at Yanyan with watery round eyes.
It seems that even it itself is confused.
Yan Yan thought about it carefully. The first time she saw Tonba, she couldn't see it when it ran away. The second time it appeared, she let it go and she couldn't see it either.
Could this be related to their respective status?
For example, when Tonba is careless, she can see it, or when she concentrates her spiritual power, she can also see it?
Yan Yan couldn't figure it out for a moment, but it didn't matter, she felt that it was good like this.
Tonba can become invisible when necessary, and it is more convenient to carry it with you.
Yanyan rubbed its long ears again: "Where did you come from? Who raised you?"
This time, Tonba did not call.
He lowered his head, carefully moved his front legs forward, moved to Yan Yan's side, stretched over his head and rubbed the back of her hands several times.
This action of Tonba is so cute, just like a cat.
Yan Yan, who had been a shit shovel officer, understood immediately at first glance that this little guy didn't feel any pain at all and was very lonely. He was acting coquettishly and begging for support from her.
So beautiful, so cute, yet she is an unwanted stray monster.
Just like her.
Yan Yan hugged Ton Ba into her arms and hugged her tightly: "We are in the same boat now. If you can't find anything to eat in the future, you can come to my house for meals as long as I am still in Luwu City.
."
Tonba buried his whole face in Yanyan's neck, stretched out his little barbed tongue, carefully licked Yanyan's neck, and then curled up his whole soft body like glutinous rice balls into her arms.
The little guy closed his eyes and within a moment, he purred softly.
He actually didn't become invisible and fell asleep in her arms.
She feels that small animals will feel at ease and fall asleep quickly only if they are in the arms of someone they trust.
But this little guy only spent one night with her...
Is it so easy to trust strangers?
Yanyan's eyes were filled with soft light. She gently placed the tonba on the mattress, sat cross-legged, and began to adjust her breath and recite the incantation...
For three days in a row, Yan Yan locked himself in his room. Except for three meals and a short rest, he spent all his time practicing.
Not only does she feel insecure, she also has a strong sense of urgency.
Before finding Canghua, she must try her best to improve her cultivation.
In addition to facing the secondary star, there is another reason.
Since Canghua personally planted spiritual roots for her, she didn't want Canghua to see that she was a loser.
Yan Yan knew that this was due to her own competitive spirit, but she had no choice but to do so. The future was even more uncertain than before. Now she really had nothing to rely on except her unwillingness to admit defeat.
I don't know whether it was because the quality of the spiritual roots was particularly good, or because after eating Jiu Suiji steamed buns, Yan Yan felt that the aura surrounding her body was much stronger the second day after the Qi was introduced into her body.
The thin band of light was just the shimmer of cow hair yesterday, but today it has turned into light as thick as wool, and she felt that every time she absorbed Qi Qi into her body, her lower abdomen would feel slightly warm.
Following the Qi training techniques he learned from Fairy Fei, Yan Yan began to try his luck.
Silently reciting the luck formula in your heart, hold up two fingers, and use your mind to guide the Qi flowing between the meridians in the body towards the fingertips...
As if feeling some kind of guidance, the Qi in the body that was originally intended to flow into the Dantian began to move towards the fingertips along with the meridians.
Yan Yan could clearly feel a trickle of warm current surging under the texture of her arms, and her heart was churning with joy. She continued to concentrate on her thoughts, preparing to transfer Qi breath to her fingertips to form the first Qi Ling in her life.
The so-called "Qi Ling" is a small vortex of Qi Qi that can condense on the fingertips and release the flow of Qi Qi.
Qi Ling is the first skill that a monk masters after starting formal practice. It is also the simplest entry-level skill for Qi training.
Although the Qi Ling formed in the early stage of Qi refining is still very weak and does not have any aggressiveness, the fact that it can be condensed into Qi Ling shows that the monk can successfully use the Qi Qi in the body, which is an important sign of entry into cultivation.
The Qi breath in the body, urged by the magic formula in the heart, keeps surging towards the fingertips, upper arms, lower arms, wrists...
Just when Yanyan was about to break through the last barrier and manipulate his Qi breath to break through the last Zhongchong point on his fingertips, he suddenly felt an inexplicable strong burning pain in his Dantian.
