Five Immortals Gate

Chapter 17: Washing Sutras with Plants and Trees (2)

After Master Ji went out, Li Yan suddenly felt his breath became smoother and couldn't help but smile bitterly. As long as the teacher was standing next to him, he would feel his breath stagnation.

At the moment, he calmed down and no longer thought about it. Each time the copper furnace burned, it would give him about an hour to practice. He could not waste time, so he came to the copper furnace, stood up in front of the furnace, and then He stretched his hands into the green and black Qi on the copper basin and silently practiced the mantra. Suddenly, the green and black Qi wrapped around his hands seemed to be pulled, split into ten strands of black thread and drilled towards his fingertips. Go, Li Yanden felt like red-hot sharp needles, suddenly prying his nails open, as if they were peeling off, and the pain pierced his heart and brain.

Even though Li Yan was prepared, he didn't expect such pain. He groaned, swayed a few times, and took two steps back. What was strange was that those who had been affected by the technique The pulling green and black filaments of air persisted, stretching as he retreated, still drilling into his body along the seams of his nails.

Li Yan's black robe was soaked with sweat. He gritted his teeth, concentrated his mind, moved forward two steps, stood up again, and started running the technique again. The wisps of green and black filaments were like red-hot silver. The needle pierced and advanced in his meridians. With every inch he advanced, his whole body trembled unconsciously, and sweat flowed out layer by layer.

He didn't know how long he could persist in practicing, but he was born with a tenacious character. Even if he couldn't do something perfectly, he always tried his best to do what he set out to do. Time passed little by little, and by the end, his nerves had long been numb, and only the mechanical movements in his mind were still driving the green and black energy to swim in his body.

Outdoors, Ji Junshi was sitting cross-legged on the stone table. Although he was meditating with his eyes closed, his eyelids occasionally twitched, revealing his uneasiness. More than half an hour later, his eyes suddenly opened and he disappeared from the stone table. The stone door where Li Yan lived seemed to be opened by an invisible force.

In the room, Li Yan's face was black and black, and his hands and arms were covered with a layer of black energy. He was unconscious at this time, and he could no longer even perform the final mechanical operation. His body was leaning back, but those The green and black energy was still tightly connected to his fingers, forming arcs as his body fell backwards, which looked very strange. Just when he was about to fall straight to the ground, a figure suddenly came behind him. One big sleeve rolled up him with a flick, and the other big sleeve faced the ten green and black streaks. The Qi trembled, and only a few slight "bop" sounds were heard. The green and black Qi had been disconnected from Li Yan's ten fingers, but Li Yan's body seemed to still have suction. The disconnected green and black Qi was on Li Yan's fingers. It was still like a twisting poisonous snake in the air, spitting and swaying in the direction of Li Yan's body, looking extremely terrifying and weird.

Master Ji no longer looked at those green and black auras. He rolled up Li Yan's sleeves and shook them. A gentle force carried Li Yan to fly to the wooden bed, and then slowly placed him on the bed. Then he came to the bed in a few steps, his hands flying in front of his chest, and after forming a few complicated-looking mudras, a few green stars flew out of his fingertips and fell towards Li Yan's abdomen.

Li Yanzheng felt as if he were in a volcano, feeling unbearable burning pain in his body. He wanted to scream but couldn't. He was in agony. Countless red magma surrounded him and was cooking it thoroughly.

\u003c/di\u003e

He just felt that he was going to die in this volcano, and suddenly a cool feeling rose in his abdomen. He felt that the volcano and the boundless magma were slowly receding, and his mind began to become clear. When he opened his eyes, he found that he was lying flat on the bed, with a teacher in black robe standing beside the bed. He couldn't help but struggle to sit up, but there was a sharp pain in his chest and abdomen, and he couldn't help but groan. , lay down again, and suddenly felt sparks rising in front of his eyes, and the volcano in his body was faintly threatening to explode again.

Lying on the bed, after calming down, he turned to look at the teacher and forced a smile, "Old teacher, this disciple is incompetent, and I am ashamed of my teacher's expectations."

"Haha, you don't have to blame yourself. This is the first time that you were able to hold on for more than half an hour, which surprised me. You did a great job." The third division commander smiled gently at him.

"That being said, this disciple can finally practice his own technique," Li Yan said with difficulty as his face was a little distorted.

"This is natural. However, although you feel uncomfortable now, you still need to refine the medicinal power of the plants and trees you just absorbed. Otherwise, these medicinal powers will stay in your body, which will be harmful but useless. And only after refining, these medicinal powers will Only when it belongs to you can you complete your cultivation.”

Li Yan naturally knows this. The teacher has said this before. Every day, this practice is divided into two steps, absorbing the power of herbs and medicine, and then refining it for your own use. After 7749 days, you can enter the first level and then Internal force will be generated, and from then on, the body will use this as the basis, and no longer need to absorb the power of herbs and medicines, just through continuous practice.

Li Yan took a breath, endured the burning pain in his body and slowly sat up, sat cross-legged, closed his eyes and began to use his mental skills to refine the medicine in his body.

After seeing this, Master Ji turned around and retreated quietly, sitting cross-legged on the stone table outside the house again. After sitting down, he murmured to himself, "This boy has a tough mind, but after the power of the refined medicine, , it’s hard to say whether he can still maintain a calm mind.” After saying such a meaningless sentence, he seemed to have fallen into deep thought.

From that day on, Li Yan began the painful practice journey of introducing medicine into his body day after day and refining the power of the medicine to strengthen his meridians. However, the time he spent introducing medicine into his body to stay awake became longer and longer. As time went by, although the potency of the medicine nearly doubled every seven days, the pain of introducing the medicine into the body gradually decreased a lot. Apart from the first few times when Ji Junshi helped him resolve it, in the later period, he was able to completely He practiced on his own. This was due to the increasingly strong meridians in his body. The previous meridians were like a delicate pipeline. When the medicine was forcibly torn open and expanded, he would naturally be in great pain. As the medicine was refined into his body, the large tracts in his body The small and large meridians are also slowly growing and expanding, and several major meridians have become thicker and tougher, so the pain has been greatly reduced.

"Xu" took a long breath. Li Yan finished today's exercise training. He did not stand up, but still sat cross-legged. After opening his eyes, he frowned and felt a wave of irritation in his heart.

Well, he had to take another deep breath. As his daily practice progressed, he found that his mood was becoming more and more irritable, as if there was a ball of fire running up and down in his body, which was very disturbing.

He also asked his teacher, and Master Ji told him that this was caused by the power of medicine to cleanse the body. Strong medicine can create strong meridians. Only with this kind of physique can the powerful skills of our sect be driven. After Jiutian enters the first level, this situation will improve. In the future, as the skill deepens, this situation will completely disappear.

After hearing this, Li Yan thought about his teacher's unrivaled martial arts skills and felt that it made sense. However, he still felt inexplicably uneasy in his heart. Every time he thought about it, he had no clue.

Putting aside these thoughts, Li Yan felt irritable again. This irritability had begun to make him unable to keep his mind and return to his origin every time he practiced.

Li Yan stood up and pushed the door open and walked out. It was already dark at this time. He was feeling depressed, so he walked in the valley. Since he started practicing, he has been busy practicing every day, so he has no chance to take any time off. But The irritability in his heart today made him just want to vent it out, how could he stay in the room.

Just walking aimlessly in the valley, the autumn wind in the dark night blew on his face, and the waves of coolness blew over his face. He suddenly felt that the boredom in his chest had disappeared a lot, and he couldn't help but take a few deep breaths of the silk in the wind. There was a hint of coolness, so he walked slowly in the valley. The valley was not very big. After turning around for half a circle, when he reached the water pool, waves of coldness hit his face. His heart felt cold, and he suddenly felt the breath flowing smoothly in his body. Feeling refreshed, he quickly walked a few steps to the edge of the pool. The chill became even stronger, and he felt extremely comfortable in his chest. Li Yan was so happy that he simply sat down by the pool. He sat there for half an hour. When he stood up, all the heat in his body had disappeared, and then he felt tired and returned to the room. He fell down and fell asleep.

When dawn came, Li Yan woke up from his sleep, feeling a hundred times more energetic. With the changes in his body after more than 20 days of practice, he had not fallen asleep like he did last night for a long time.

After waking up, Li Yan stood in front of the table, looking at the mist hovering over the pool outside the window, his eyes getting brighter and brighter. Then he walked quickly to the teacher's stone house. When he arrived in front of the stone house, the familiar and gentle look of Master Ji was The voice has been heard: "Here we come, then come in."

Since Li Yan started practicing, he has rarely come to the teacher's place. Basically, after the teacher prepares medicine every day, he will protect him outside his house.

"Yes, teacher", Li Yan's face hardened and he walked in quickly. When he entered the room, he found that the teacher was still sitting cross-legged behind the table as usual, holding the book that looked like gold but not gold, not jade but not jade in one hand, looking up at him with a smile. But he also knew why, every time he saw the teacher, he always felt short of breath in his body.

"Haha, you look good today. It seems that you have discovered some situations in the valley." Master Ji looked at Li Yan in front of him and said with a smile.

"Teacher, do you know why this disciple is here?" Li Yanqi asked.

"You must have discovered that the water pool can relieve the heat in your body, right?" Ji Junshi smiled.

\u003c/di\u003e

Then said.

"Yes, teacher, it turns out that teacher knew the efficacy of that pool." Li Yan couldn't help but ask.

"Of course I know that half of the reason why I chose this valley as my residence was because the water in this pool has some strange cold properties."

"Then, teacher, why don't you let your disciples practice there?" Li Yan asked hesitantly.

"Haha, the method of entry into our sect is indeed a bit overbearing. Therefore, this situation will occur when our disciples practice at the beginning. There are many general solutions. For example, immerse yourself in your own preferences to restore peace of mind, like playing the piano. , wind music, calligraphy, etc.; and the other is to use external forces to directly offset the fire in the body, such as ice stones, snow mountains, cold pools, etc." At this point, Master Ji paused and glanced at Li Yan.

Li Yan did not ask further questions. He knew that the teacher would give him the answer soon.

Seeing Li Yan's demeanor after he had calmed down, Master Ji couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "This boy has a quiet and thoughtful nature."

Then, he added, "The reason why you are not allowed to practice by the pool now is because when you first start practicing, you should use your own endurance to compete, which can better hone your character; if you rely on external objects at the beginning, then you will not be able to practice at any time." With subsequent practice, this effect will become less and less effective, and it will hinder your own practice. Therefore, I did not tell you these things, for fear that you would be unable to resist the temptation and give up on your own practice. "

After hearing this, Li Yan thought to himself, "It turns out there is another reason, but these many solutions cannot be used easily." Then he bowed and said, "Disciple realizes his mistake."

The third master waved his hand, "It's not your fault, it's just that I didn't say it clearly." Then, he pondered for a moment and said, "Well, after watching the practice in the past few days, it should have reached a certain bottleneck, but you better not go for the time being. Practice at the water pool. My master will first use other methods to relieve you of the abnormality that occurs during practice. When you sprint to the first level in 7749 days, you can practice next to the water pool. The effect will be best at that time. If you enter the second level After one level, you can practice there for a long time.”

Li Yan was delighted when he heard this, "What method does the teacher use?"

"You will know it when you practice today." Master Ji smiled slightly, but did not explain.

Li Yan smiled bitterly in his heart and had no choice but to say goodbye and leave.

A few hours later, after Li Yan introduced the medicine into his body, he began to cross his legs to refine the power of the medicine. Soon, the hot air was tumbling in his body. After Li Yan suppressed it several times, he gradually became unable to suppress it. , my mind could no longer calm down, and my anger became more and more turbulent.

At this moment, a burst of piano music suddenly floated in from the window outside the house, like the autumn moon on a flat lake, like a jade rabbit rising in the east, like the breeze in the forest gently ruffling the branches and leaves, like a young girl whispering, and then like the morning dewdrops lighting up the heart. Yan suddenly felt a chill growing in his heart, his irritability gradually subsided, and the spiritual platform gradually became clear.

He immediately understood what method the teacher used. It turned out that the teacher had such profound attainments in piano art that he could turn sounds into scenery and make people's spiritual towers bright. At the moment, he didn't dare to think any more, he concentrated his mind and slowly entered a state of selflessness.
