Wei Shiqi lay on his back, feeling very refreshed. The feeling of punching the flesh was so good. The body is the most powerful weapon.
Strike while the iron is hot, he ate the flesh of a rat demon, absorbed the vitality from it, arched his back against a tree, dug holes, and tempered his body. When you are tired, take a nap; when you are hungry, eat another meal. After spending a day and a night, after eating three large, one small and four rat demons, the Shinto points on his vest became a little looser. To my surprise, the largest rat demon turned out to be a native of the Five Elements, with the aura of Gen Earth. All the holes are filled.
Calculating with his fingers, he has already eaten the nine-headed rat demon. Among the five elements of the Jinwen rat, the most favorable are wood and earth, the less favorable for gold and fire, and the one for water has not yet been encountered.
Wei Shiqi also found out some insights. The method on the animal skin fragment divided the tempering of the body into two stages. The first stage was to swallow the moonlight and hit the tree with his back, which tempered the acupoints. In the meridians, in the second stage, the essence of the moonlight is transformed into the five elements of vitality, which is stored in the acquired orifices. When sitting, standing and walking, the vitality in the orifices continuously overflows, tempering the muscles, bones, blood and flesh. To temper the acupuncture points and meridians, it doesn’t matter which one the essence of heaven and earth, the sun and the moon is, and to temper the muscles, bones, flesh and blood, it must be the Qi of Gen Earth that is compatible with the body. Every time an acquired orifice is opened, the vitality in the body becomes deeper and the body can be tempered faster.
Understanding the direction of cultivation is like a ray of light shining in the darkness. Although it is a bit far away, at least my mind is firm and will not waver.
After eating the remaining heads, limbs and bones, and planning to dig a hole to bury them, Wei Shiqi always felt that something was missing. He remembered the old bear in Heisong Valley. Deng Shou cut open the belly of the bear to look for it, and his face looked happy. He met Qi Du in the Kunlun Mountains. The python he killed had its head dropped to the ground and its belly was cut in two. , Could it be that in the bellies of those monsters, there are legendary demon pills? But he washed and skinned many Jinwen rats, and found nothing good except internal organs and blood congestion in their abdominal cavities.
Wei Shiqi’s eyes fell on those withered heads. He picked the largest and most ferocious rat demon, smashed its skull with a short knife, searched carefully, and took out a small mung bean-sized demon pill from its brain hole. It was as crystal clear as jade and shone brightly in the sun.
The remaining rat demons do not have demon pills in their brains.
Wei Shiqi thought to himself: "After all, this is the Kunlun Mountains. You will encounter poisonous pythons when you are driving at night. Nine of the brocade rats in a nest became spirits, and among them there was a strange species that gave birth to a demon pill. The vitality contained in flesh and blood is also very sufficient, but Laoyaling is much less... There must be some reason here..." He couldn't figure it out for a while, and hid his doubts in his heart.
Having not seen his junior sister for almost two days, he packed up his bow, arrows and dagger and hurried back to Kuji Spring.
Qin Zhen was lighting a fire. She was sitting downwind, coughing repeatedly due to the smoke. She heard familiar footsteps and knew that her senior brother was back. She jumped up with joy and was about to greet him, but she saw that his clothes were torn and stained with blood. Her face suddenly changed and she said anxiously: "Senior Brother, Are you injured?"
Wei Shiqi looked down at his body and said nonchalantly.: "It's okay, it's all just skin injuries. I was scared when I met a Jinwen rat. You wouldn't expect it. It's as big as a calf and so fierce. I managed to kill it with great difficulty."
He I squatted by the spring, washed my face, and drank a few sips of water to quench my thirst. I moved quickly and didn't look like I was injured.
Qin Zhen breathed a sigh of relief and reached into her arms for a handkerchief, but found nothing. She remembered that the handkerchief had been given to Song Ji to wipe the blood. After hesitating for a moment, she tore off a piece from her clothes and dipped it in spring water. Help senior brother
wipe the wound on his back with light and gentle movements.
"No need to bother."
"It's okay."
"Then I'll do it myself."
Wei Shiqi from Junior sister took the cloth in her hand, wiped away some dried blood, and said: "Junior sister, what are you doing? It's so smoky that your face is blackened."
"I think I want to make some cakes, but I don’t know how to cook them." Qin Zhen felt a little embarrassed, so she scooped up spring water and washed her face with her hands, wiping away the soot. Her face felt refreshed and her cheeks were slightly red.
"It's easy, I'll teach you." Wei Shiqi kneaded the flour and some water he brought from the mountain into a ball on the white stone beside Kuji Spring, patted it into a cake shape, and picked up some more The dead branches are piled on the fire and burned into ashes. The flour cakes are buried in the ashes and cooked with the residual heat.
Qin Zhen watched him busy, remembered something, and said: "It's been quite strange these past two days. There is always a big green dog bringing game meat such as pheasants and hares in its mouth. Put it down and leave."
Wei Shiqi didn't say anything, "The dog is spiritual. It feels sorry for you alone."
"Eat it. It's just burnt and the meat is a little bitter."
...
The two chatted without a word. Qin Zhen felt peaceful and happy, just looking forward to the time stopping here. moment.
As the ash pile gradually cooled down, Wei Shiqi took out the dough cake, patted off the floating ash on the surface, tore it into several pieces and handed it to his junior sister. Qin Zhen smelled the faint fragrance of the dough and took a bite. It was very chewy. She thought: "How can senior brother only eat meat and not eat rice, noodles and vegetables?"
The sky is high and the clouds are clear, the mountain breeze is blowing, and the little junior sister is close at hand. Wei Shiqi looks at the gurgling spring water. Going down the mountain, I forgot all my worries for a while.
