That night, Ye Guhong practiced quietly in the room that Wang had prepared for him. In just one night, he circulated the spiritual energy in his body for more than ten weeks.
The more this happened, the more Ye Guhong became sure that his knowledge of magic had a great relationship with the cultivation of spiritual energy in this world. This seemed to be very mysterious, and Ye Guhong was not able to understand it for a while.
However, one thing that makes Ye Guhong feel depressed is that the cultivation of spiritual breath becomes more and more difficult as expected.
Yesterday, after the spiritual energy circulated in the body for more than a dozen Great Zhoutians, it would fill the Dantian, feed back to the whole body, and jump to the first level of spiritual disciple. But now, after the same dozen Great Zhoutians, Ye Guhong felt that the Dantian was only filled in.
With less than one-third of the spiritual energy, it will take at least two or three days to reach the second level of spiritual disciple. By analogy, future training will consume a lot of time.
Da da da, someone knocked on the door
Ye Guhong got out of bed and opened the door. Sure enough, he saw Ye Sulan. She had put on a female warrior uniform and was holding a newer long sword in her hand.
Ye Sulan said: "My mother's illness has stabilized."
"Let's go" Ye Guhong took a step ahead and took Ye Sulan away.
Ye Sulan curled her lips and said, "Why, aren't you going to bring your rhubarb with you this time?"
Ye Guhong chuckled and said: "I already fed Rhubarb yesterday, and it must be sleeping soundly now. It's very dangerous for us to go to the woods this time. It doesn't matter if we die. It would be very bad if Rhubarb is killed."
Ye Sulan smiled and said: "What a fool."
"By the way, senior sister, what do herbal medicines look like?"
Ye Sulan said like a treasure: "Uncle Ye once said that this herb is called Three-leaf Spirit Grass. It usually grows between rocks. It is about three or four inches long. When it grows, it has three leaves. Each leaf is as big as a baby's finger. The leaves are green.
The leaf tips are slightly yellow”
;;;;;;;;;;The Silent Forest is a deep and boundless dense forest behind Yejiazhuang. Although it is surrounded by mountains and rivers and has a good scenery, it is often haunted by monsters, which makes people stay away.
It is now noon, the scorching sun shines through the gaps in the forest, and the surrounding air is filled with sultry heat.
Ye Sulan leaned against a tree tiredly and said to Ye Guhong: "Aniu, let's take a break. I can't walk anymore."
Ye Guhong was also tired from walking, so they both leaned under the tree to rest.
"Aniu, do you know the road? I'm tired and hot after walking for so long. Why do I feel like I'm going in a circle?" The two of them searched all morning, walking deeper and deeper into the forest. No wonder Ye Sulan became suspicious.
"It won't be hot anymore after it rains," Ye Guhong said angrily.
"Raining? How can it rain in this weather?" Ye Sulan thought Ye Guhong was saying something stupid again.
But Ye Guhong knew clearly that there would be a heavy rain later today. In order to prepare for emergencies, Ye Guhong took off his coat and pulled a lot of dry weeds on the ground and wrapped them up in case of emergencies.
Ye Sulan couldn't understand Ye Guhong's purpose of doing all this, and didn't bother to ask.
In fact, the person who is most worried now is not Ye Sulan, but Ye Guhong
During the whole morning's trip, Ye Guhong had already divined two hexagrams, and the hexagrams all showed that 'the universe is indistinguishable, and misfortune and fortune are unpredictable.'
This hexagram is actually the hexagram that a hexagram master sees most often and least expects to see. To put it bluntly, nothing can be calculated.
Gua masters are not omnipotent, and there are many things that they cannot easily calculate, so they must continue to study arithmetic to reduce the failure rate.
Now Ye Guhong's daily limit of divination is three times. After three times, it is almost impossible to predict accurately.
Now Ye Guhong has made two divination attempts to find this three-leaf spiritual grass. The reason why he has been reluctant to use it for the third time is because he has already lost his way. This third time, he wanted to use it to divine the way back.
Ouch!
The wolf's howl came from a very close place, it was extremely clear and loud. Ye Guhong and Ye Sulan stood up in fright at the same time. Both of them could hear the wolf's sound, which was only about ten feet away from their direction.
Ye Sulan did not hesitate at all, and came to Ye Guhong's side and said: "Let's go home immediately. We can't delay. This demon wolf can smell human breath. Such a long howl means summoning companions."
Ye Guhong was already depressed, but these beasts came to disrupt the situation.
Suddenly, an idea ignited in Ye Guhong's mind
"Blood Soul Hexagram!" Ye Guhong raised the corner of his mouth and snorted.
Ye Sulan frowned slightly and said: "What nonsense are you talking about? Run away quickly."
Ye Guhong turned to Ye Sulan and said: "Senior sister, last time we were chased by the demon wolf, we were in such a mess this time, do you want to take revenge on them?"
Ye Sulan was stunned: "How to retaliate? Although they are not strong, they move very fast and know how to sneak attacks secretly. We are no match for these wolves."
Ye Guhong smiled evilly at the corner of his mouth and said, "Then if it were me who attacked them sneakily, would I have a good chance of winning?"
;;;;;;;;;;An adult demon wolf with gray hair sniffed the scent of Ye Sulan and Ye Guhong and walked slowly.
Suddenly, it saw a white shadow in the distance, and at the same time there was a strong smell of blood.
This demonic wolf was so bloodthirsty that it suddenly became ferocious. It accelerated its steps and pounced on him.
The moment the devil wolf grabbed the white clothes, he immediately threw them away. It was not that there was nothing underneath the clothes, but there was an upside-down sharp sword buried in the soil.
There was a squeaking sound, followed by a painful howl. The sword penetrated the abdomen and came out through the back. The demon wolf struggled a few times and then died.
Ye Guhong cheered, walked out from behind a big tree nearby, and walked towards the demon wolf that was stabbed to death.
Ye Sulan also walked out from behind the tree and stared at all this in shock.
The demonic wolf that made people fear was so easily dealt with?
Ye Sulan came to Ye Guhong and saw that the palm of his left hand was still bleeding. She remembered that he had just taken off his coat, pierced his palm with a sword, and smeared it on his clothes. It looked painful, but Ye Guhong didn't seem to have the slightest pain.
care
Ye Guhong moved away the body of the demon wolf, pulled out the long sword from the ground, gave it back to Ye Sulan, and said with a smile: "No matter how fierce it is, a beast is a beast, so stupid."
Ye Sulan chuckled, took out a personal handkerchief from her arms, came to Ye Guhong's side, and bandaged his injured hand: "Are you very smart? You don't have to cut yourself to lure this devil wolf to the bait.
"
After Ye Sulan had bandaged himself, Ye Guhong put his right hand against the wound where the demon wolf was still bleeding. After a while, he slowly received a hand full of bright red blood.
Ye Sulan was so frightened that she took two steps back and said in surprise: "Do you want to drink this?"
Ye Guhong rolled his eyes at Ye Sulan and wondered how such an innocent and cute girl could have such strong thoughts in her heart. He curled his lips and said: "Although I'm thirsty, I'm not a bloodthirsty demon. I told you to do it right away."
It’s going to rain, and there will be water everywhere. I’ll keep you busy drinking it.”
After saying that, Ye Guhong recited the magic spell in his heart, raised his right hand, and all the blood drops fell to the ground.
These blood droplets are extremely magical. They disperse in the air and all the blood droplets are exactly the same size. They are scattered on the ground at the same time, as if there is a small rain of blood.
The blood soul hexagram uses blood as a divination tool. This blood is equivalent to a sacrifice to heaven. The more evil the owner of the blood has done in his life, the more accurate the hexagrams obtained by sprinkling his blood as a sacrifice to heaven.
This demon wolf is ferocious and loves to kill humans. Everyone has already found it and killed it. Therefore, there is no reason for this hexagram to be miscalculated.
Ye Guhong knelt down and carefully examined the hexagrams, and suddenly he looked happy.
‘Twin treasures, nourish and extend life’
Seeing the hexagram, Ye Guhong immediately understood that the thing that nourishes and prolongs life should be medicine. But Ye Guhong didn't fully understand the twin treasures. He probably meant that there were two three-leaf spiritual grass in that direction.
With such an auspicious hexagram, there is no reason not to go
After accurately calculating the direction and distance indicated by the hexagram, Ye Guhong puffed up his chest and strode forward.
Ye Sulan chased after him and shouted: "Hey, where are you going?"
"Of course I'm going to find the three-leaf spiritual grass. Do you want to stay here and wait for the companions of the demon wolf to come and seek revenge on us? Senior sister, you are so stupid."
;;;;;;;;;Pull aside a piece of grass, and a large cave with no bottom visible appears in front of you.
The cave was four or five feet wide in diameter. Ye Guhong picked up a stone and threw it down. He could only hear the clattering sound and the stone kept falling, which told him how deep and bottomless it was.
Ye Sulan took a breath of cold air: "Hey, Aniu, don't tell me that the three-leaf spiritual grass is deep in this big cave!"
Ye Guhong murmured and shook his head: "It shouldn't be down there..."
As he said this, he walked around the edge of the big hole and looked for it. Since it only grows in the cracks of stones, it should be easy to find.
Ye Sulan saw that he was so serious and didn't seem to be joking, so she accompanied him to find him.
Just when Ye Guhong once again suspected that his hexagram was wrong, Ye Sulan suddenly cheered loudly: "I found it, look quickly, is it the one?"
Ye Guhong came to Ye Sulan's side, followed the direction of her finger, and looked down the deep cave entrance.
In the rock crevice about two feet below the entrance of the cave, there is indeed a clover with green leaves and yellowish tips. The most important feature is that its rhizome is inserted directly into the rock, as if it was drilled out of the stone.
It comes out the same
Ye Guhong thought it must be it, but the next problem was, how to pick it?
Although the rock at the entrance of the cave seemed to be climbable, it was very dangerous after all. The two got up and searched around for a long time, but they could not find anything like tree vines that could replace the rope.
Ye Sulan said regretfully: "If I had known earlier, I would have come out with a rope."
Ye Guhong pointed at Ye Sulan and said: "Senior sister, take off your clothes."
Ye Sulan was startled, but then she understood Ye Guhong's intention and pouted: "Why me? Why don't you take off your clothes?"
Ye Guhong pointed to the last thin piece of clothing on his body and said: "I'm just wearing these clothes, one is used to attract the devil wolf, and the other is used to preserve hay, and then I'll be naked."
Ye Sulan had no choice but to reluctantly take off her coat and hand it over.
