When Yue Anyan saw that the viewer had noticed, she smiled and lifted up her cuff with her right hand, revealing most of the mantis's body, which was holding on to the clothing material. She explained with a smile: "This is a silver-threaded sword mantis. It snowed heavily a few days ago. I found it in the snow-covered grass by the pool."
The serrated front claws of the triangular-headed mantis are displayed sideways, with an inconspicuous silver line on the edge.
"I have never seen it before. I guessed that it flew in looking for spiritual energy and found the formation eye along the way. I tried using Yuan Qi and Chu Qian's contract method. Unexpectedly, I subdued the little guy in no time. Later, I used the test The qi pan tested it, and it turned out to be a water-walking sword beetle, so it is destined to be with me."
Zhang Wenfeng said with a smile: "Fortunately, the baby badger didn't find it, otherwise it would have become its snack."
"The donkey hadn't returned that morning, so this silver-threaded sword beetle was in danger."
Yue Anyan put down his sleeves, covered the praying mantis, and said: "This little insect is not lacking in spirituality, but it has not yet fully awakened. It can only be regarded as a zerg. I looked through the books and found that the water-moving silver-threaded sword mantis wanted to completely break through. It is necessary to swallow low-level water crystals, otherwise, it can only live for three years at most.
Today I asked Yun Qiuhe, and she said she could help me get a small low-level 'water-soft crystal'. "
Zhang Wenfeng untied the black cloth bag, pretended to take out three pieces of liquid crystal sand from the storage space, put them on the coffee table in front of Yue Anyan, and said: "This is the liquid crystal sand, a material for refining earth magic weapons. You can exchange water with her." It's up to you how to change the Crystal Stone. If you give her the Spiritual Energy Stone, I'm afraid she won't accept it."
Taoist practitioners mostly try to avoid losing or owing anything, and maintain a harmonious and harmonious state of mind.
Having a good relationship with fellow disciples is another matter.
Yue Anyan was not polite, picked up three golden crystal sands, put them in his hand and admired them.
The silver-threaded knife beetle peeked out from the cuff, then flew into her palm with a swish. It came closer and fiddled with the crystal sand with its front paws a few times, then moved away. It was not an item it needed.
Yue Anyan tapped Mantis's head with his finger and scolded with a smile: "You are still picky, it's none of your business."
He put away the crystal sand and said: "Second senior brother is by the stream. The second floor of the formation is close to the edge of the inner layer. He is digging a pond to store spiritual spring water so that the apprentices can fetch water for use."
After talking about some things that happened in the past few days, Yue Anyan got up and went out when he heard the bell ringing outside.
Zhang Wenfeng sat for a while, returned to the top of the mountain, walked into the secret room of the west hall, took out the bottle of Shou Xian and placed it at arm's length to the east of where he sat opposite him. He stared at the bottle with his eyes slightly lowered, and practiced meditation while adjusting his breath.
The spiritual consciousness is released and hovers in the bottle, which can not only refine the spirituality of the small peach wood sword, but also nourish the soul with the help of the bottle.
The good thing that kills two birds with one stone is that after the mountain god left, he left a message telling him the secret.
The green light on his body flickered slightly, and the small dark red sword floating in the bottle had delicate wood grains vaguely emerging.
The dark bottle of Shou Xing Ping has a blue-black precious light on its body, which flashes occasionally, seeming to be in response to Zhang Wenfeng's practice.
The mind is so calm that there is no thought or existence.
Unconsciously, Zhang Wenfeng sat upright and closed his eyes.
He practiced the "Sitting and Forgetting Green Wood Returning Alchemy Technique". With the help of two wooden treasures, he unintentionally achieved the harmony between the technique, himself and the treasures, and entered the rare first state of "Sitting and Forgetting".
During lunch, the master of the temple did not show up, and no one paid much attention.
It is common for temple masters to lose track of time while practicing, and most of them are used to it.
When it was time for dinner, the temple owner still didn’t come out.
The second senior brother deliberately went to the mountain, pushed open the ajar door of the west hall, and sensed the aura of the contemplative master in the quiet room, so he quietly exited without disturbing them, and went down the mountain to inform the waiting people that the contemplative master was still practicing and had left a meal. In the pot, that is.
On the fourth day of December, the temple owner did not come out of seclusion.
On the fifth day of the lunar month, the faces of the second senior brother and Yue Anyan showed a hint of anxiety. They took turns to go to the west hall to guard the temple. They could not disturb the temple owner who was suddenly unable to retreat, and they had to pay attention to the atmosphere in the quiet room at all times.
They were worried that something might happen to the viewer.
Monks in Huaqi Realm retreat for only two or three days, which is related to their cultivation and state of mind. If it lasts for a long time, something may happen easily.
High-level monks often stay in seclusion for several years or decades, which is another realm.
In the afternoon, Yun Qiuhe brought a water-soft crystal stone. After hearing that Zhang Wenfeng had been in retreat for more than three days, she and Yue Anyan walked into the west hall. They felt for a moment and shook their heads slightly to indicate that they should stop being impatient. The master was in retreat and his breathing was stable. , nothing will happen.

She had long ceased to make common sense assumptions about Zhang Guanzhu, who had impressed her many times.
Why not stay in retreat longer?
The donkey carrying the badger cubs wandering around at the foot of the steps heard the words of Yun Qiuhe who walked out of the door, and went down the mountain. Since the viewer was fine, what was it worried about?
On the sixth day of the lunar month, Zhang Wenfeng, who had been sitting still for a long time, his brilliance faded, and he slowly opened his eyes.
Everything in the quiet room was clearly visible in the darkness. He frowned slightly and stared at the bottle that had returned to its normal form.
He felt like he had taken a nap, in the blink of an eye, but his cultivation level had increased a lot. The tree-like Yuan Qi in his Dantian was thicker and clearer, and the blue light was surrounding it like mist. He felt that it should have been more than one day?
The sea of consciousness expanded more than twice, and the fourth sentence of golden seal text with a flowing halo appeared on the ancient scroll: "Therefore, there is always no desire, so as to observe its desires; there is always desire, so as to observe its desires."
He suspected that the Mountain God did not tell him the truth. Maybe it is not easy to keep the bottle?
He had used the Shou Xing Bottle to practice many times before, but this was the first time he encountered this kind of thing where he was unconsciously immersed in a strange state. It was a bit like the "sitting and forgetting" recorded in the technique. He was not very sure.
According to the records of the practice, sitting and forgetting requires an opportunity, the mind can be kept extremely still, and the body is as green as a green tree without thoughts.
It is normal to sit for ten days, half a month or even several years.
He still couldn't figure it out, so he dismissed his doubts and didn't worry too much.
He touched the new scriptures in the sea of consciousness with his spiritual consciousness, and after a little understanding, he obtained a new magical power called "Blue Light Reflection Curse" that can protect himself. It is related to the Aoki Transformation Wave Technique he practiced. This magical power also comes with A unique function that can "still".
No matter how chaotic the situation is, you can still feel calm.
He was thinking that it would be very rare if the "stillness" lasted longer.
I can only find out after trying it later. I took the bottle in my hand and examined it carefully. Except for the closer connection with Taomu Xiaojian, there were no other changes. The corners of my mouth curled up and smiled. This is the point where the old man becomes a fine mountain god. Hi, I am trying to be mysterious.
With a wave of his hand, a flash of pink light swam in the air.
He controlled the flying sword with his spiritual consciousness, and it felt like an arm using his fingers, and he became more and more at ease.
The flying sword flew fast and slow in the air, circling back and forth silently for several times, before he was satisfied and put the flying sword back into the bottle for storage.
Put away the bottle and stand up.
He noticed someone outside and stepped forward to open the quiet room door.
The second senior brother put down the book, stood up and looked around, and said with a smile: "Master, you can be considered to be out of seclusion. If you don't come out for four days and four nights, we will all be in a hurry... Haha, Taoist Master Yun even made a bet with Junior Sister Yue that you will be released today." It will definitely come out.”
Zhang Wenfeng asked with a smile: "What does she use as gambling capital?"
"A water-soft crystal stone, if you don't leave the seclusion before dark today, she will lose."
"Then I'll go in and sit for a while to earn her a soft crystal stone."
Zhang Wenfeng glanced at the sand pot in the corner jokingly. He took a nap in the quiet room. Four days had passed. He somewhat believed that he had entered a rare state of "sitting and forgetting". He walked out of the door. The sun was just right outside and it was already past noon.
The donkey that was spinning around in the wheat drying field like a millstone came running over, opening its mouth and making the viewer dumbfounded.
"Master, I've finished my drink. Give me some copper coins and I'll go to town to buy some drinks. The old cripple is so shameless. He only allows me to drink a small bowl every day. He says that drinking is a waste and stingy. How could I worship that old guy before?"
Nagging and complaining.
Zhang Wenfeng walked down the steps and gave the donkey a slap on the butt.
"Bah!" woke up the baby badger who was sleeping soundly in the basket. He poked his head out to take a look. Seeing that it was the viewer, the baby badger stretched its neck to let the viewer touch the flat top door, then retracted the basket and continued to sleep.
Zhang Wenfeng checked the little badger's cultivation level and found that it had advanced to the middle stage of the first level. His aura was very stable. He felt relieved. He put a handful of copper coins in the right basket containing the fruits and warned: "Don't let people fool you. Don't think about it all day long." Keep drinking and spend more time practicing."
The donkey spread its four hooves and disappeared in an instant.
Zhang Wenfeng shook his head and forgot to ask Donkey, the foodie, what unique skills did the badger add to his promotion?
…
