,.
There is a pavilion on the hill. Next to the pavilion, Meng Shanming is sitting in a wheelchair. Shang Shuqing is pushing the wheelchair behind. The two of them are looking at the cave opposite, watching Niu Youdao go in, watching the curtain being lowered, and looking at Yuan Gang. He and Yuanfang stood guard at the entrance of the cave.
Meng Shanming asked aloud: "Looking at his appearance, he shouldn't be old, right?"
Shang Shuqing thought for a moment, "I went to the Shangqing Sect when I was a boy. I invited him down from the Shangqing Sect after being under house arrest for five years. He is definitely not very old. He should be similar to me."
Meng Shanming stared at the cave, nodded slightly, and said with emotion: "It's amazing! It's amazing! Mr. Dongguo really has a way of judging people. No wonder he accepted him as a disciple before he died. The Shangqing Sect may have missed a big opportunity!"
Shang Shuqing, who was staring at the cave, fell on him and asked curiously: "Uncle Meng, isn't it normal for monks to practice in seclusion? Why are you so emotional?"
Meng Shanming: "Although I am not a monk, I have had a lot of contact in my early years and I know a little bit about monks. Although retreat practice is normal, it is not like him. Normal practice can be stopped at any time. If there is any emergency, I will You can deal with all of them. There is also an abnormal form of closed-door cultivation. The cultivation level needs to break through the bottleneck and advance to the next big level. At this time, the monk is fragile and has no self-defense ability. A three-year-old child may kill him. , he must not be disturbed, otherwise his cultivation will be limited for life, or he will become obsessed with it, and even more seriously, his life will be in danger. You see, he looks like he is facing a powerful enemy, and he also asked us to send people to guard the surroundings, Princess What kind of secluded practice do you think he is?"
Shang Shuqing was a little frightened, "It seems like the latter!"
Meng Shanming nodded: "It looks similar to me! You said that you saw him doing something in Nanshan Temple, and the three senior brothers were easily defeated by him. Judging from the current situation, this person is probably in seclusion and training. Nine times out of ten, this is the case for the foundation-building realm! It should be very rare in the spiritual world to hit the foundation-building realm at such a young age. In time, the future is limitless! If he can get out of seclusion smoothly... Princess, be sure to remind the prince that he must Make friends with this person and don’t become the second Shangqing Sect!”
Shang Shuqing nodded and said, "Uncle Meng, I remember." But she was thinking in her heart, I have always done this. [oM]
"It shouldn't come out in the short term, let's go!" Meng Shanming said calmly.
Shang Shuqing pushed the wheelchair and turned around, slowly going down the mountain. On the way down the slope, someone came over to lend a hand and carried the wheelchair down the mountain...
In the cave, as the oil lamp went out, Niu Youdao's body and mind gradually fell into darkness without any distracting thoughts.
Suddenly a little light spreads out in the darkness, the door of the body opens, and the mind enters.
People in spiritual practice also call it inward vision. When the situation in the body is perceived to an extreme level, when all the situations are completely put together, the structure and shape will naturally form, and everything in the body will naturally transform into a clear image in the mind. image. Even if it is other things, when you grasp all the details, you will at least grasp the general outline of the thing.
The moment his mind was focused on his body, all the changes in his body were in Niu Youdao's mind.
Pairs of golden light and silver light slowly rotate around each other. There is a pair in each of the two meridians of Ren and Du. They are full of energy and can burst out powerful energy at any time.
For monks, this is a very strange phenomenon. Generally, the source of true energy for monks exists in the sea of qi in the Dantian when they are quiet. However, Niu Youdao has two sources of true energy, one of which exists in the two meridians of Ren and Du. One advantage is that Qi can trigger the fastest response to the outside world.
The remaining thirty-one Dharma-transmitting amulets in the body are still there, still entangled in the original thirty-one acupuncture points like a spider web.
Of the original thirty-six, Xiaomiao Village destroyed one against the crow, used one when drifting on the bamboo raft and was about to freeze to death, used one when resisting Tang Susu's attack, and used two to practice Qiankun Jue, leaving thirty-one left.
After leaving the Shangqing Sect, he basically didn't dare to refine anymore. If he continued to refine and absorb, the true energy would become more and more full and powerful, and he would have to collapse his meridians.
Establishing the foundation, as the name suggests, builds a more solid foundation. The foundation of Qi movement is the meridians.
The purpose of this retreat is to break through the realm of foundation building. To break through the realm of foundation building is to forge stronger meridians, turning channels that can only bear water from small streams into rivers that can withstand the mighty river.
After the energy and spirit were adjusted to the best state, the two pairs of golden light and silver light in Rendu's two meridians quickly mobilized the spell. The two pairs of light merged together and rushed towards a talisman entrenched in the acupuncture point. Around the rapid rotation, hot and cold energy are intertwined and refined.
Under normal circumstances, monks need a lot of 'Lingyuan Pill' to break through the foundation-building realm. This pill is also the most important cultivation resource for monks in the world. It is refined from spiritual grass and contains a lot of spiritual energy. In all sects, when disciples face breakthroughs, they will provide spiritual pills to help. However, Niu Youdao does not have this condition. The Shangqing Sect has kept him under house arrest for five years and has not given him one. So far, he has never tasted it. What does 'Lingyuan Dan' taste like
Fortunately, Dongguo Haoran used his own dharma source to lay thirty-six dharma-transmitting amulets in his body. Fortunately, the Qiankun Jue he practiced could refine the alien energy in his body and make it his own.
In a substantial sense, the amulet Dongguo Haoran penetrated into his body had a greater spiritual energy content.
For example, aura is like dust that is spread out, and the source of life magic is a hard stone condensed from dust. The difference can be imagined. This is why a magic amulet released in the form of energy can block Tang Susu's power. The reason for that golden elixir monk’s attack!
Two pairs of gold and silver light balls circled around the amulet, and Niu Youdao accelerated the refining to the fastest speed.
The two pairs of light balls continued to refine Dong Guo Haoran's natal magic source, directly absorbing the refined Qi, and drank it like thirsty. The more he absorbed, the more energetic and shining the two pairs of light balls seemed to be.
However, Niu Youdao, who is the carrier to accommodate them, is under increasing pressure. The more the two pairs of light balls absorb the true energy, the more powerful the energy they emit will become. Niu Youdao can feel the energy. The meridians in the body are gradually filling up and expanding.
This situation continues, which also means that the expansion pressure on the meridians is increasing.
Gradually, a look of pain appeared on Niu Youdao's face in the darkness, and beads of sweat oozed from his face.
The meridians in the body are being expanded bit by bit, but he can't stop yet, he has to continue, and he has to control the direction of the expansion pressure. He can't have some places being swollen and bursting, and some places have not yet burst, and he must keep it within the body. The equal expansion and cracking progress of all meridians is truly asking for trouble.
The pain of tearing oneself apart in the body like this can be imagined. I don't know how long this process took.
Until all the meridians all over the body were almost doubled in width and were covered with dense cracks.
It wasn't until Niu Youdao felt that he couldn't stand it anymore, that his entire meridians would collapse if he continued, and that he felt that the meridians had reached the limit of pressure, so he stopped refining and absorbing the output pressure.
His hands, trembling with pain, were slowly raised in front of him, and he held the ball in front of his chest and moved slowly.
The two pairs of gold and silver light balls in the body began to rush to the meridians of the limbs and bones, constantly circulating in the sky, and at the same time dissipating their own energy, swaying out golden and silver starlight dots along the way, and swaying out countless starlight dots. The little bits of starlight that are constantly evaporating begin to penetrate into the dense cracks in the meridians. At this time, it can be said that all the hardships are over. The feeling of countless starlights penetrating into the wound is warm and cool, so comfortable that the whole person wants to fly out.
Feeling so comfortable under extreme fatigue, people who feel comfortable want to fall asleep. Niu Youdao tried his best to maintain consciousness, stay awake, and not let himself fall asleep. If he could not inject the energy to transform the meridians at this time to make the meridians strong and tough, not only would he be All the previous efforts have been wasted, and the damaged meridians are useless and can no longer move Qi.
The reason is very simple. When the meridians expand to this state, they have reached the pressure limit. Once the wounds all over the meridians in the body are healed, you can't make it expand and crack for a second time. If you apply strong pressure to expand and crack, it will explode immediately.
As countless bits of starlight continued to evaporate, the light on the two pairs of light balls became lighter and weaker.
I don't know how long this process lasted. Niu Youdao no longer had the energy to count time, so he could only persist and persist.
It wasn't until the brilliance shrouding the two pairs of light balls completely disappeared, revealing the gold and silver true form, that the true form was eclipsed and almost unable to rotate, that Niu Youdao stopped continuing to use it and slowly opened his eyes. It was dark and nothing could be seen.
He wanted to move, but found that it was difficult to move even a finger. The slightest movement caused excruciating pain, and the slightest movement made him feel like he was about to fall. His physical body could no longer control its own balance, so he called out in a weak voice: "Monkey...monkey …monkey… "
I don't know how many times he called, but Yuanfang's voice came faintly from outside, "Master Yuan, Master Tao seems to be calling you." His hearing was still sensitive.
A bright light suddenly appeared in the direction of the cave entrance, and someone opened the curtain. After really hearing and confirming Niu Youdao's call, the footsteps of two people came quickly.
A ray of light from the fire broke out, igniting the oil lamp in the corner.
Yuan Gang held an oil lamp and approached Niu Youdao with Yuan Fang. First he smelled the smell of blood, and when they saw Niu Youdao's appearance clearly, they were shocked. They saw that Niu Youdao seemed to be covered with blood. A shell has formed on the surface of his body, his face is completely different, and his eyes are gloomy and weak.
"Master Dao, what's wrong with you?" Yuan Gang was shocked and helped him.
"It's okay, it's okay, don't move around with me. I can't move around now..." Niu Youdao shook his head weakly and said. He knew where the blood on his body came from. It seeped out from the pores little by little when his cultivation level was broken through. from.
Hearing this, Yuan Gang quickly let go, with a nervous look on his usually expressionless face, "Master Dao, what do you want me to do now?"
Niu Youdao asked weakly: "How long have I been in seclusion?"
Yuan Fang immediately answered: "Nine days! Master Tao, you have been in seclusion for nine days!"
Nine days? Niu Youdao smiled miserably. He hadn't had a drop of water in nine days. No wonder he was so thirsty. A voice came out of his throat, "Water... thirsty... water..."
Yuan Gang nodded repeatedly, turned around and saw that Yuan Fang had his head tilted up and was looking up and down at Niu Youdao's condition curiously. Yuan Gang suddenly became angry and kicked out, directly kicking Yuan Fang who was caught off guard. He walked down the steps and shouted angrily: "What are you looking at? Water! Didn't you hear that? Go get it quickly!"
