Before Xia Qiu explained the whole process of soul separation in detail, Ouyang Xueye heard that the shell-colored palace built on the clouds she was talking about was the very Taoist Mysterious Palace. He was extremely concerned about the mysterious purple-eyed monster holding a mirror, because according to Xia Qiu's description, the location of the third floor room in Xuanmiao Palace happened to be very Taoist.
What is the connection between this purple-eyed monster and the Taoist? Or maybe he fell out with the real one at some point? So how did he enter the immeasurable heaven? Countless questions suddenly welled up in Ouyang Xueye's heart. Although the answer seemed to be on the other side, it always seemed like there was a gap that was insurmountable.
"He seemed to have discovered my existence at the last moment, which should mean that he has the same ability as me. In addition, I have a feeling that maybe he is the one who gave orders to those white bats." Xia Qiu also said his bold guess out.
"I still remember what I told you when I showed you the diamond-shaped boundary diagram yesterday. I suspect that the previous owner of Bauhinia Island actually used that diagram to escape from the Infinite Heaven." Ouyang Xueye thought for a while. said.
"Yes, I remember." Xia Qiu nodded in response to him.
"Since someone has found a way to leave here so long ago, it is not surprising to use the same method to enter the boundless heaven." Ouyang Xueye simply made a reverse thinking.
"Are you saying that it was probably the former owner of Bauhinia Island who helped the purple-eyed monster enter the Infinite Heaven?" Xia Qiu felt that Ouyang Xueye's analysis was both reasonable and shocking.
"It's very possible! If the monster is related to the white bat, and he has switched identities with the very Taoist, then it is not difficult to understand why the very Taoist wants to take you away!" Ouyang Xueye knew in his heart that if the facts were true, According to his analysis, the real Taoism must be full of disasters.
"Then what should we do?" Xia Qiu couldn't help but remember that he fled to the Boundless Heaven to avoid the pursuit of those white bats, but he never thought that the accomplices of those monsters might be hidden in this world.
"In addition to training time these days, you should also try to stay with me as much as possible, in case the Taoist side takes action again." Ouyang Xueye responded to her calmly. As early as after meeting Mr. He, he had become aware of the relationship between the extraordinary Tao and the white bats and even Qingyun in the realm of soul separation. Now that he thinks about it, this fake extraordinary Tao is probably the commander of those white bats. maybe.
"Okay. What is the content of today's training?" Xia Qiu interrupted Ouyang Xueye's thoughts. She wanted to quickly plunge into the intense training to forget the fear that the soul left her last night.
"Starting today, we are going to increase the difficulty of archery training!" Ouyang Xueye responded after a pause.
Speaking of archery training, Xia Qiu originally thought that Ouyang Xueye would use the stand made by Elk Fairy yesterday as a target as soon as she came up and let her practice shooting while controlling Xiao Libai, but the so-called more difficult shooting he arranged today Training is more basic.
Throughout the day, Ouyang Xueye arranged for her to stand and shoot on the spot, but he required her to complete the whole process in one go. There is only one second between each action, starting from picking up an arrow in the quiver behind your back, to setting up the bow, aiming, and finally releasing the arrow.
"You must try to find your own best breathing point, keep your breath calm, don't be too hasty, and don't drag your feet. When I count each number, you must start to perform an action. Let's try it first!" Ouyang Xueye ordered Elk After Xian set up a target in the distance, he ordered Xia Qiu.
"is teacher!"
Because he already had the archery practice of the previous few days as a basis, Xia Qiu kept telling himself that there was no need to be nervous, as long as he speeded up each movement and connected them together, it was not difficult. But soon, she understood that this was not the case. It was easier said than done to make the movements coherent, but she had to ensure that every movement was completed within the prescribed time, or even better, to achieve success. As long as one of the links went wrong. , then the subsequent actions will become a mess.
"Ready, one, two, three..."
From the time Ouyang Xueye shouted to prepare, Xia Qiu had clearly felt that her breathing had become chaotic due to tension, and a series of chain reactions followed. Her hands and feet were trembling, and when she did the second action of placing the arrow on the bow, she misaligned it. As a result, she only had half the time to aim after re-adjustment, and her fingers were also numb when she finally released the arrow in a hurry. Followed by a tremor.
As soon as Li Xian's feather arrow flew out, Xia Qiu knew that its direction had completely deviated from the trick of hitting the target. What was even more ironic was that the last arrow not only missed the target, but also almost hit the Elk Fairy standing nearby.
"Sure enough, it's a little worse than I expected. You almost became a killer, phew!" Ouyang Xueye breathed a long sigh of relief and shook his head beside him.
"I'm sorry!" Xia Qiu shouted loudly in the direction of the Elk Immortal, feeling guilty in her heart. Just standing there and shooting arrows was already so messy, not to mention riding on Xiao Libai's back.
From a distance, she watched the Elk Fairy wave his hand towards her, as if telling her not to pay attention.
"Where do you think you started to have problems just now?" Ouyang Xueye asked her directly using a heuristic method.
"I think it was the moment when I set the bow." Xia Qiu answered truthfully while recalling his actions.
"Yes! If you want to hit the target within five seconds, stability and consistency are indispensable, but there is something more important than them, and that is confidence! I believe that after the training of the past few days, if there is no time requirement, Under the circumstances, you should be able to hit the bullseye easily, right?" Ouyang Xueye asked.
"Yeah!" Xia Qiu responded to him affirmatively.
"Okay, then you try slowing down the pace like before!" Ouyang Xueye thought for a while and ordered.
Because there was no time limit, Xia Qiu relaxed a lot and her attention was even more concentrated than before. She aimed carefully and hit the target easily.
"Why does it stop working as soon as I speed up?!" She asked with some annoyance at her first performance.
"Because just the speed of movement will increase the difficulty of archery several times, plus you are too nervous. Okay, now let's start again and do what I said. Take a deep breath... one, two, three, four …”
This time, Ouyang Xueye did not directly ask Xia Qiu to do the movements, but taught her to start with deep breathing, so she was much more relaxed than before. She followed his command and took a deep breath, and then started Draw an arrow, nock the bow, aim, and release the arrow. Although the arrow still didn't hit the bull's-eye in the end, it at least stuck firmly on the target.
"Much better than before! Let your body remember this rhythm and let it become a part of your body. When you really break through the diamond barrier, you may have to face many unexpected situations, so your mind You must be strong enough to withstand all interference!" Ouyang Xueye encouraged Xia Qiu at the right time.
Just a simple sentence made her feel that her self-confidence had doubled. Ouyang Xueye today is much kinder than during previous trainings, and his expression is not as cold as before. Because he thought of Xia Qiu's terrifying experience in the state of soul separation on the first day, he felt that that experience would be more or less harmful to her. It will have a certain impact. If I continue to be as strict as before, it will inevitably affect the effectiveness of training. As the number of archery shots increased, Xia Qiu's sense of rhythm became better and better, and the success rate was constantly refreshed.
After a short break at noon, training will begin again in the afternoon. Continuously repeating the same movements made her back and arms very tired, and her legs were sore and numb from staying in the same position for a long time. Under the scorching afternoon sun, the thin clothes on her body were unconsciously worn. It was soaked with sweat and outlined the curves of the girl's body.
At first, Ouyang Xueye didn't notice because he was engrossed in her training, but then he suddenly realized it and said to her quickly: "Go and change clothes!"
Only then did she remember to lower her head and look at herself, her cheeks turned red, and she hurried towards Ziyunju. In the room, Xiao Libai was sleeping soundly on a chair near the window. Her whole body was warmed by the sun, and she snored from time to time. She took off the clothes that had stuck to her body, wiped off the sweat briefly, put on a pair of clean clothes and walked out of the house.
I don't know if it was because she was too tired, but the moment she walked out of the room, she felt dizzy, and she had to lean on the door frame to barely stand still. When she closed her eyes, the purple pupil she saw last night suddenly appeared in her mind again, together with the dark force trying to pull her towards the palace on the clouds. She couldn't help but grab the door frame next to her hand, feeling that her nails were almost digging into the wall, but her body was still being dragged in the direction of the pupil.
"Help!" She shouted desperately, but no sound came out of her throat.
"Xia Qiu, wake up!" Ouyang Xueye called her and patted her face hard.
Seeing that Xia Qiu had not returned to the pasture, he flew up to the platform and searched along the stairs, only to find her passed out at the door of the room.
"Huhu..." Xia Qiu woke up and sat on the ground breathing heavily.
"What happened?" Ouyang Xueye asked anxiously.
"I saw that purple pupil again, it... it seemed to want to catch me." Xia Qiu responded to him with frightened eyes.
"Today's training ends here. You have a good rest." Ouyang Xueye tried to help her up from the ground and suggested.
Xia Qiu took a few more deep breaths, then shook her head and said, "It doesn't matter, just rest for a while and you'll be fine!"
She followed Ouyang Xueye back to the platform, and the Elk Fairy brought hot tea brewed with redbud elk antlers. The sudden departure from her soul just now made her break out in a cold sweat, and now she held the warm tea cup. Only then did she calm down.
"I thought about it again and again. There is no body in the infinite heaven. There is only soul, so there is no way to separate human souls. The key to soul separation is the separation of human souls. Therefore, yesterday you probably completed There was a separation between soul and spirit, and the monster caused more or less damage to your spirit. If I had known this, today's training should have been arranged more relaxedly!" Ouyang Xueye said with some regret.
"I know you also hope that I can successfully master the ability to leave the boundless heaven within nine days. Oh, by the way, I almost forgot that Xiao Leng had another channeling with me yesterday." Xia Qiu responded after taking a sip of hot tea. he.
"Oh?" Ouyang Xueye raised his head and looked at her.
"He asked me to tell you that you must win!" Xia Qiu's voice was still trembling, but the mention of Ouyang Xiaolen still made her smile lightly.
"Really?" Ouyang Xueye's mouth twitched slightly, and then he also laughed.
