Section 18: Keep him safe for twenty years
Beside the Crescent Lake, Qi Yunhe began to teach the first step of sword cultivation, introducing the vitality of heaven and earth, the essence of the sun and the moon into the body, and opening up the "acquired aperture"
The vitality of heaven and earth is divided into five elements, Ruijin, Yimu, Guishui, Lihuo, and Gentu. There are two essences of the sun and the moon. One is the great sun and yang fire, and the other is the essence of the moon. Among them, the great sun is yang. Fire is beneficial to wood and fire and earth, and the essence of moonlight is beneficial to metal, water and earth. Human beings have different roots and bones. Those who are pro-fire should absorb the Qi of Lihuo, and those who are pro-Wood should absorb the Qi of Yi-Wood. The five elements are in harmony and get twice the result with half the effort.
For sword cultivators, the flying sword can be driven by the energy of sharp gold or fire, and it can move and kill far above wood, water, and earth. However, the gold and fire deplete the physical body, making the practice twice as difficult. If you accidentally damage the acupoints and meridians, it will injure the root.
Qi Yunhe passed on to them a thousand-word key point, which comes from the Kunlun introductory exercise "Taiyi Foundation Establishment Sutra". It is honest, peaceful and easy to use. He spent half an hour explaining the key point and giving instructions from ear to ear. , asking them to find a place to practice on their own.
He called Wei Shiqi and Qin Zhen aside and gave a few more instructions.
Qin Zhen’s Five Elements Qinhuo, it is best to practice by the Kuji Spring on the top of Tiandu Peak. The Kuji Spring leads to the ground fire, which is of great benefit to her, but the journey to and from Kuji Spring is long, and the beasts After all, Qin Zhen was young, so Qi Yunhe asked Wei Shiqi to accompany her to take care of her.
Wei Shiqi did not refuse.
It was past noon, and a horse team came from the foothills. Camel bells jingled and hoofbeats sounded, and they stopped steadily in front of the stone room.
One person led the leading horse and bowed to Qi Yunhe. The porter unloaded the camel bag and carried the firewood, rice, oil, salt, vegetables, vegetables and bean paste into the woodshed. to leave.
Qi Yunhe sighed and said: "They are all outer disciples. If you don't want to be like them, you should spend more time on cultivation.
Yue Zhilan Ren I kept asking: "Since there is no hope of cultivating immortality, why don't you leave."
"Because this is the capital of immortality. Even if you stay in the outer gate to do hard labor, it is better than going down the mountain to be an ordinary person."
< p>"Is there any other benefit?""It's okay to tell you-Xiandu disciples have served twenty years of hard labor in the outer sect. If they are willing, they can go down the mountain and become a rich man, marry a wife and have children. , spread the branches and leaves, and the immortal capital will keep him safe for twenty years. "Twenty years for twenty years, it's very fair." Yue Zhilan was a little moved, and then buried this thought deep in his heart. He was self-aware, and the reason why he could stay in the Immortal Capital was because of that piece of black iron. Qi Yunhe had already told him clearly that acquired turbidity would cut off the path to cultivation, and the best he could do was to throw himself into the outer sect.
Qi Yunhe chuckled and said: "Not many can stick to the outer sect for twenty years."
Wei Shiqi interjected, "What if you don't want to?"
p>
"If you don't want to, after serving fifty years of hard labor, there will be another opportunity."
Qi Yunhe was vague and did not go into details. Wei Shiqi guessed that the opportunity was not good. Earn it, earn itYou may not be able to enjoy it when you arrive.
When the Song brothers first learned the secret, they felt itchy and unbearable, so they found a stone by the Crescent Lake, sat down cross-legged, and meditated in a decent manner.
Qi Yunhe gave a few casual instructions - there is no need to sit so upright, sit up, walk, just walk casually, first feel the existence of the vitality of heaven and earth, understand the nature of the birth and death of the vitality, and then try to introduce it into the body.
Qin Zhen remembered every word her master said in her heart. She looked at her senior brother and hesitated slightly. Wei Shiqi understood her thoughts, shook her head and said: "It's too late today. It will be early tomorrow morning." When you go to Kujiquan, remember to rest early. It's a very hard journey.
"Yes," Qin Zhen responded in a low voice.
Qi Yunhe looked at his several apprentices and suddenly relaxed, feeling discouraged. He sighed longly, waved his sleeves, and walked down the mountain. The direction he was going was exactly at the back mountain of Xianyun Peak, where the outer gate of the Immortal City was located.
The surroundings were peaceful again. Yue Zhilan went to the woodshed to check the supplies delivered by the horse team. There was enough rice, noodles and vegetables to last for several months. The only thing missing was meat. He discussed with Wei Shiqi that in a few days, when the weather would be cooler, he would hunt more large prey such as wild boar and deer, and make bacon and bacon to store for emergencies.
Wei Shiqi was noncommittal.
Early on the next morning, at dawn, Wei Shiqi woke up Qin Zhen, and the two of them walked out of the stone room and climbed Tiandu Peak in the cold morning mist.
Qin Zhen took two pills of Yin Deficiency pills to cleanse her body, and her skills were much more agile than those of ordinary women. However, her legs were short and weak, and it was quite difficult for her to climb mountains and ridges. Wei Shiqi followed her for a while and said, "If you go this way, you won't be able to climb to the top of the mountain at noon."
Qin Zhen bit her lip, feeling extremely distressed, and said: " What should I do?"
"If you don't mind, I can help you."
Help? Is it the back? Is it a piggyback ride? Is it a clip? Is it mentioning? Men and women are not close to each other, they sit on different tables at the age of seven, they can't walk without showing their teeth while smiling... Numerous chaotic thoughts come and go. Qin Zhen looks up at the unattainable Tiandu Peak, thinking of the wisp of ethereal destiny, and gathers all her energy. Courage said: "But it depends on the arrangement of senior brother."
Wei Shiqi took half a step forward, put his hand on her waist, let her sit on his shoulders, and said: "Sit tight!" The legs exerted their strength and rushed up the mountain like a galloping horse.
Qin Zhen was startled. She felt the shadows of trees flying out of the corner of her eyes, and the cliff seemed to be turned upside down, pressing down on her head. She turned pale, grabbed his clothes tightly, and held her breath for a while before returning. Come to your senses.
Although Wei Shiqi was fast, his shoulders were always as steady as water. Qin Zhen gradually felt relieved and subconsciously raised her hands to pat her chest, her face slightly red and a little shy.
The sun was rising and clouds filled the sky. In less than an hour, Wei Shiqi climbed up to Xiandu Peak and put Qin Zhen down gently and deftly.
Qin Zhen thanked her senior brother and looked up. Among the jagged white rocks, she could see hot springs gushing out and mist blowing into her face, making her feel refreshed.Vibrate.
Wei Shiqi squatted by the spring, held the spring water in his hands and drank a few sips. It was clear and sweet, far better than the Crescent Lake water at the foot of the mountain. He washed his face by the way, picked a few fist-sized wild fruits nearby, washed them and handed them to his junior sister, saying: "First eat a few fruits to satisfy your hunger. You can practice here while I go and walk around to see if there are any." What kind of game?"
Qin Zhen knew that this senior brother only ate meat, so he said politely: "Thank you, senior brother, thank you."
Wei Shiqi turned and walked into the dense forest. I guessed that I was far away from Kuji Spring and couldn't hear the sound of the spring, so I put my thumb and index finger in my mouth and whistled twice.
After a moment, a huge green wolf sprang out from the grass and trees. The golden hair on its back was lengthened a little, shining brightly. It roared in a low voice and circled around Wei Shiqi's legs excitedly. Around and around. Wei Shiqi touched its head and called out: "Qing, you found this place!" As he said this, he also laughed.
Since he crossed the Ximin River and entered the vast Kunlun Mountains, Qinglang followed him from a distance, following his scent, two days behind, taking his time and arriving at the Tiandu Peak. After being separated from his old friend for so long, Wei Shiqi really missed it. He played with the green wolf for a while, pointed at the Kujiquan, and told it with gestures to take care of it, so as not to let the wild beast hurt the little junior sister. Qing Lang rubbed against his leg, yawned, and ran in the direction Wei Shiqi pointed.
