"Lao Xiang!" Qingshi pushed open the door of Xiang An's room in the west wing and shouted, "What are you doing in the closed room in broad daylight? Lao Xiang!"
"What else can we do!" Xiang An walked out of the bedroom sleepily and muttered, "Just go to sleep!"
"No way?" Qingshi said in surprise, "The sun is already high, and you are still sleeping? Are you still like a monk?"
"It's not like that!" Xiang An said, "I'm more like a servant."
"What's wrong?" Qingshi asked, "Could it be that Fatty is bullying you again? I told this guy to stop treating you the way he treats prisoners."
"I know," Xiang An said, "Don't worry Qingshi, Xiaopang can't say that he is bullying me. In fact, you, Lao Chen, and Xiaopang all regard me as brothers now, and I know that. It's just that this guy Xiaopang has been here for a long time. It’s too much work, and I like to do everything, which makes it too much for people!”
"Oh?" Qingshi said, "Is this guy still messing around all day? What did he do this time?"
"He," Xiang An said with a sigh, "he didn't know where he heard that there is a bird that glows at night in the Shenmai Valley, so he insisted that I accompany him to catch it. Do you think I can not go? ? There are magic circles everywhere in this Shenmai Valley. If he breaks in randomly, won’t it ruin all our hard work? So I can only accompany him. I have to pay attention to find the mysterious It’s a bird, and you have to be careful not to destroy the magic circle, aren’t you tired?”
"A bird that can shine?" Qingshi asked doubtfully, "Did you catch it?"
"Tch~" Xiang An curled his lips and said, "I stayed with him for seven whole nights, and I didn't even see a bird feather."
"Hahaha..." Qingshi said with a smile, "There are no glowing birds! You have probably been fooled by others. By the way, where is the little fat guy, still guarding the Shenmai Valley?"
"No way!" Xiang An said, "I don't dare to let him stay alone in Shenmai Valley. He is sleeping now, in the next room."
Xiaopang is not very willing to go back to the Egg House now, even to sleep and rest. It's not that the bed outside is more comfortable, but he is afraid that Qingshi will always control him.
In fact, as long as Xiaopang doesn't cause trouble, Qingshi won't bother to care about him.
"Old Xiang," Qingshi said, "I have a question I want to ask you."
"Yo!" Xiang An looked surprised and pretended to say, "Boss, since when have you been so polite and modest? Do you still have any questions you need to ask me? The sun is really coming out in the west... cough cough ! Tell me, do you have any questions? I will enlighten you."
"Shut up, you're going to open a dyeing workshop if I give you three points of color? Let me ask you, why did you understand the heavenly way of water so quickly?"
"Oh~ you ask this! I have a very high understanding of the water path, and with the diligent practice of water source skill and wind mark water mark, it will naturally come true."
"Cultivation of Water Source Skill and Wind Mark Watermark diligently? Is it that simple?"
"if not?"
"I have been practicing Shuiyuan Gong and Fenghen Watermark diligently in the past two years, but I always feel that something is wrong. At first, I made obvious progress, but after a while, it became difficult to make any further progress. I always feel that there is something missing from enlightenment. .”
"You have only been practicing diligently for two years, but I have been practicing diligently for twenty years!"
"With your talent and understanding, one year of hard work for me is better than twenty years of hard work for you."
"Proud! So proud! Qingshi, your talent is very good, but as a person, it is better to be more down-to-earth! Take me for example..."
"Quickly pull it down! Are you the only one who is still down-to-earth? I have never seen a guy who is more clever than you. To be honest, I came to you today because I doubted whether you deliberately leaked the water source skill when you first translated it. Do you think there are any key nodes or important methods?"
"No! Absolutely not!"
"It's weird if you don't! Among us, you are the least qualified. As a result, we all practiced Shuiyuan Gong at the same time, and none of us achieved much, but you were able to understand the heavenly way of water. Why do you think this is happening? Yes. Aren't you causing trouble?"
"How is that possible? You guys rely on your own intelligence and don't do your job all day long. You bite off more than you can chew when you practice. How can you be as focused and undistracted as I am..."
"Old Xiang! You know that I know the soul technique, right? Could you please cooperate and let me use the soul search technique..."
"No! Boss Qingshi, how can you treat your brothers like this? It's so unloyal! You don't trust me so much?"
"Where! Lao Xiang, you have misunderstood. I believe what you say. I just want to use the soul search technique to see how you practice and learn from your advanced experience!"
Qingshi forced a ferocious smile and walked towards Xiang An. In fact, Qingshi doesn't know any soul-searching skills. The difference between soul-searching skills and soul-searching skills is actually completely different. Xiang An naturally doesn't know.
"Don't! Don't! Qingshi, don't come over. I guess you must have overlooked something...that...did you drink water when you practiced Shuiyuan Gong? No, no, I mean you practiced Did you soak in the water when you were there?"
"What? Make it clear to me!"
"I mean your practice method may be wrong. I practice Water Source Skill in the Egg House. You know there are hot springs in the Egg House. I often practice in the hot spring water. Maybe this is the reason why my practice is more effective. .”
"Huh? Practicing in water! Is that really like this?"
"I'm not sure, but when I practice in the hot springs, my enlightenment effect is much better than in the outside world."
"Damn it! Then why didn't you tell me earlier? Is there a record of this method in the Shuiyuan Gong original, and the translation you gave us deliberately omitted it?"
"Absolutely not! The effect of practicing in hot springs is better. I discovered it by chance. Is this true for everyone? I don't know."
"Really? Did you find it by chance?"
"I can swear to God! By the way, Shuiyuan Gong is very effective when practiced in hot springs, but Fenghen Watermark cannot be practiced in water. But when I practice Fenghen Watermark, I will use the dark gold agarwood you gave me. Furnace, maybe this is also the reason why I can enlighten."
"Dark gold agarwood furnace!"
Not to mention Xiang An, Qingshi really forgot about this first auxiliary artifact for enlightenment.
Back then, he lent this thing to Xiang An and then forgot to take it back. Naturally, Xiang An would not take the initiative to return it to him.
In fact, this object was given to Qingshi by Mo Sihai back then. As the saying goes, Qingshi subconsciously did not want to see this object. This may be the real reason why Qingshi forgot this object.
"Okay, Lao Xiang," Qingshi said after hearing Xiang An's explanation, "I believe you. You're such a soul, I won't search for you."
In fact, Qingshi does not completely believe Xiang An. Based on his understanding of Xiang An, it is more likely that this guy deliberately missed the practice method. However, Qingshi was too lazy to argue with him.
"Shh~" Xiang An wiped his forehead, let out a long sigh of relief, and said, "Boss, you are really scaring people to death! I saw Jiang Bingxian use the soul-searching technique to deal with the people of the Huang family of Jianming Mansion in the Jiushan Kingdom. It was really terrible. Ah! The people who were searched were not only in agony, but most of them were disabled after the search... By the way, are you really good at searching for souls?"
"No!" Qingshi laughed, "I'm just teasing you!"
······
Qingshi took off the egg house from his waist and gave it to Chen Tianye for safekeeping. He and Xiang An entered the egg house. Under Xiang An's guidance, Qingshi entered a hot spring and sat cross-legged at the bottom of the hot spring pool to practice the water source skill. As a result, the skill that had been stagnant for a long time made significant progress again. A village feel.
Later, as Xiang An said, Qingshi used dark gold agarwood to assist in enlightenment, which was indeed of great benefit.
Qingshi was so excited that he simply sent Xiang An out and stayed in the egg house to practice the Water Source Skill and Wind Mark Watermark day and night.
After practicing like this for more than half a year, Qingshi felt that his understanding of the Heavenly Way of Water had reached its limit, and he was only one layer away from enlightenment.
After cultivating to this level, all that was missing was an opportunity for enlightenment. There was little point in forcing the practice any more. So, Qingshi walked out of the egg house and began to live a leisurely life, doing nothing but Dahuang every day. Basic training of Kung Fu and Shuiyuan Kung Fu, and no other martial arts, swordsmanship or anything like that.
Unknowingly, winter in Baiyun City came again. On this day, Qingshi woke up in the morning and opened the window. He saw heavy snowflakes falling in the air, and the hazy sky was densely covered with lead clouds. Qingshi felt something in his heart, and immediately gave Chen Tianye and Xiang An a few words, and then took Xiaopang with him. After leaving Baiyun City, we headed north over the mountains and ridges.
Qingshi didn't have an exact destination. He didn't even know where he was going. He just had an intuition that told him that the opportunity to understand the way of water was in the north.
After crossing the endless mountains in the north, Qingshi and Xiaopang came to a vast plateau. The altitude here is very high, the air is thin, but the sunlight radiation is very strong, and the temperature difference between day and night is huge. There are almost no animals and plants living here. It is a dead place of ice and snow.
Qingshi and Xiaopang can fly, but flying at such a high altitude is very difficult. Therefore, they spend most of their time walking on the ground. When they encounter snowfields and ice fields, they release airships to glide on the ice and snow. When they encounter Glaciers and swamps can only be crossed by flying.
Qingshi and Xiaopang kept traveling north, and after a month they began to leave the plateau and came to a large area of ice and snow tundra. Although the altitude was lower here, it was closer to the north, so the temperature was lower. If you spit out the spit, it will turn into ice in mid-air and fall to pieces on the ground.
Although Qingshi and Xiaopang are not afraid of the cold, they don't like it either. Therefore, Qingshi took out two large fur cloaks and put them on himself and Xiaopang. These were bought by Qingshi before leaving Baiyun City. I don't know what kind of spiritual beast they are. The fur is very soft and warm.
On this day, Qingshi and Xiaopang were riding an airship and speeding over the thick ice field. The endless ice field was flat and smooth. There was only a thin layer of snow on the ice, and the ice layer was at least ten feet tall. thick. There is some spiritual energy here. Although it is not enough to make the airship fly, the spiritual energy driving device of the airship can also exert 20 to 30% of the effect, pushing it to glide quickly on the ice sheet, and the effect is very good.
Suddenly, Qingshi noticed that a piece of blue appeared in the distance in front of him. Qingshi activated his wings of wind and thunder, and at the same time used the art of wind control to fly dozens of feet into the sky. When he looked up, there was an unfrozen sea in front of him.
Qingshi turned his head and looked around, only to realize that this ice sheet was actually the sea. It stretched hundreds of miles from the mainland into the sea.
Qingshi returned to the airship. Soon, the airship slid to the end of the ice field and came to the edge of an ice cliff that was a hundred feet high.
The vast sea spread out in front of us is blue, as clean as the sky after a rain. There are huge icebergs floating on the sea surface, like white clouds in the sky. The fantastic and magnificent scenery makes people feel emotional and intoxicated.
After walking here, Qingshi finally understood the purpose of his coming here. Yes, he just wanted to see the sea and see this vast, clean and pure huge body of water.
