Xu Zhipeng didn't kill him, and after killing a bunch of pig-legged people who wanted to escort him, he left with relief.
Wild boars are strange animals. They dare to fight tigers when they are brave enough. When they are young, they can be scared away by the slightest sign of trouble. I hope that through this lesson, they can open their eyes a little more and stop rushing forward recklessly when they encounter him in the future.
Xu Zhipeng's target is small animals, pheasants and the like are the best. It would be even better if he could find some wild mushrooms and wild vegetables. If you respect your senior brother with filial piety, you will feel more confident when you eat for free.
"Oh, what a pity, it's almost winter." He sighed deeply. Although the weather this year is a bit colder than in previous years, it is still late autumn after all. The grass and trees have begun to wither and turn yellow. Even if there are still wild vegetables, they are already too old.
Wild mushrooms are in season. It rained two days ago and the mountains are still relatively humid, which is suitable for mushroom growth. Along the way, you can often see pieces of it. It was just colorful and beautiful at first glance, but even if he was a cultivator, he didn't dare to eat it.
Xu Zhipeng didn't know many mushrooms, so he dared to pick only those he knew, and the harvest was pretty good. Shiitake mushrooms, mushrooms, and fungus. I also encountered a few wild chestnut trees and picked a bag full of wild chestnuts.
These chestnuts are relatively small, only slightly larger than peanuts. They don't look like they have much meat, but they are better than nothing. If you can't make staple food, snacks are fine.
"This trip was not in vain."
I gave wild mushrooms to my senior brother to eat with, and boiled and roasted chestnuts to make snacks. There were still a lot of them on the tree, so you could pick them at any time. I found another wild persimmon tree. The wild fruits hanging on the tree were already bright red. Although most of them had been eaten by birds and beasts, there were still some that could be eaten.
Xu Zhipeng was not a picky person to begin with, but now he is even more casual. I carefully put the good ones into the bag, took them home and ate them slowly, and mixed the rest that was barely enough for my eyes into a half-full meal.
Persimmons are cold in nature and should not be eaten in large quantities. Dinner is finally settled.
Xu Zhipeng did not expect that most of the wild animals on the mountain are nocturnal animals and rarely go out during the day. Moreover, except for Zhushan, which was contracted out, the mountains on their side of Yuezhou are some of the more famous mountains that can be walked around. The other mountains are blocked by thorns and vines. Except for a few mined mountain roads, there are basically no roads. Can go. Why don't those little creatures in the mountains and forests go to their paradises and come here to seek death in this infested place?
Survival of the fittest, those who like to join in the fun have been exterminated.
It was already dark when we returned to Xuanwei. At this time of year, it gets dark before five o'clock. It was dark inside and looked quite scary, but Xu Zhipeng was used to it.
People are afraid of the dark, not because of the darkness, but because of the unknown creatures in the darkness. Now he can be regarded as a cultivator, not to mention those who have some and none. Even if he really encounters the evil spirits, he is not afraid anymore. So he is not afraid of the dark at all, but feels slightly lonely.
For more than a month, I have been surrounded by mountains, forests, and seas of bamboo, accompanied by the clear breeze and bright moon. Although it is poetic and picturesque, I feel really lonely.
But cultivating Taoism is about the true heart. Whether it is lonely or busy, everything is false. What he needs is a firm heart to practice Taoism, the true heart that is not afraid of difficulties and never gives up. If you still care about those external feelings, it might be better for you to give up as soon as possible.
Therefore, almost all Taoist cultivators have hid in the mountains to hone their Taoist hearts. The colorful world outside is certainly good, but it is not helpful for cultivating the Tao. Of course, cultivating Taoism does not mean that you should practice the path of being ruthless. Whether you are sentimental or ruthless, it is all a kind of Taoism. It is just that there are many things to pay attention to in being out of the world.
However, these are still far away from Xu Zhipeng now. A rookie like him who has just entered cultivation basically has nothing to pay attention to. He lives in the world, has feelings and ruthlessness, and can do whatever he wants. The main reason why he still stayed in Xuanwei was that he had nowhere to go.
At least there is a place to shelter from the wind and rain.
There are still half a dozen sweet potatoes in the vegetable garden. Xu Zhipeng is too lazy to dig them all out, so he digs out a few if he wants them. Today's dinner and midnight snack are roasted sweet potatoes, roasted chestnuts, and a pot of whole mushroom soup. Although they are all vegetarian, they are not vulgar. The only thing missing might be a bottle of wine! Otherwise, we can make three people against each other.
The moon is a little round tonight.
It was a crisp day in autumn. The air in the mountains was nice. The moonlight was bright and the stars were swaying, penetrating directly into people's hearts.
Xu Zhipeng has been running around for a living all afternoon and has not practiced any more except for the three great weeks in the early morning. Taking advantage of the autumn moon, he didn't want to be lazy. After eating a roasted sweet potato and a few small chestnuts, he sat down cross-legged on the open space outside the hall.
The three true qi circulated in sequence, revealing the Dantian, flowing downward through the perineum, reaching the tail end, then extending up the spine, passing through the Mingmen, Dazhui, and Jade Pillow, reaching the Baihui point. Baihui flowed out and entered the Upper Dantian. Go down to the middle Dantian, which is Tanzhong, and then go back down to the lower Dantian. It sounds simple, as if it only flows through a few acupuncture points, but in fact these are just nodes. There are densely packed acupuncture points and meridians distributed between these acupuncture points. When transporting true energy, the true energy must flow along specific lines, taking away the spiritual energy absorbed by the body or the vitality nourished by itself, and strengthening the true energy.
Xu Zhipeng didn't know at the beginning that the three qi that his master instilled in him were not full, and could even be said to be very dry. After more than a month of nourishing and nourishing them, they were now somewhat full. And he is also a little strange. These three qi are also somewhat different. Two of them are relatively close to him and can now do whatever he wants, but the other one is more naughty and sometimes ignores him, so he wants to My senior fellow apprentice, Monk Zhichen, asked for advice. The answer he got was naturally similar to what he had guessed. The external Qi was naturally not as obedient as the one he had nurtured. As for the other two, it could only be said to be fate.
After just over a month of training, I have become quite obedient now, at least I won’t be naughty anymore, and when I’m lucky, I’ll run around and mess up my rhythm.
Tonight, Xu Zhipeng suddenly felt a strange feeling. The glistening moonlight seemed to contain some unknown energy, which flowed into his body, penetrated into his meridians, and merged into the flowing Qi, making people feel extremely comfortable.
He had only felt this feeling when he first started practicing, and his whole body became numb and ecstatic. Suddenly, a small thread of Qi emerged from the Dantian, and it frizzyly traveled down to the perineum, making him restless. He did not go up to the tail gate, but wanted to flow to the thigh and go to Sanyang. Xu Zhipeng was shocked, and he quickly used his mind to control it, forcing it to flow back to the tail gate...
This is really tiring. The newly born Qi may be inexperienced and does not recognize the routes of luck, so it can only control it with its thoughts to make it run on an accurate route.
When the transfer was over this week, Xu Zhipeng came back to his senses and was overjoyed. He has cultivated the fourth level of Qi. Has his cultivation reached the third level of Qi training, the final level in the early stage of Qi training?
"Work hard, come on, you can do it! Xu Zhipeng."
In fact, speaking of it, the third level of qi training is not much different from the second level. They are both in the early stage of qi training. The spells are not obvious and the magic power is not deep. Basically, they are stronger than ordinary people, have more strength, and have a longer lifespan. . If he cannot break through to the fourth level, he will waste his life like his senior fellow monk Zhi Chen. When he gets older, his tibia will become old and he will be helpless. Therefore, he warned himself not to be proud, guard against arrogance and impetuosity, stick to his heart, and work hard to forge ahead. Since he was able to hone a channel of Qi within a month, he believed that he could hone the fourth channel of Qi he needed. If he broke through the sixth channel and reached the seventh channel, he would have entered the middle stage of Qi training. Only by being able to practice several techniques immediately can one be considered a qualified cultivator.
Xu Zhipeng thought wildly for a long time and finally calmed down. This kind of blind and random thinking is actually a taboo in cultivation, and it is easy to go crazy. Fortunately, his current cultivation level is still shallow and it is not easy to attract inner demons, so he just wastes some time.
The practice notes of the ancestors all mentioned this issue, and Xu Zhipeng actually knew it, so after he woke up, he secretly reminded himself that he must not be like this in the future, especially before and after practice.
