Chang Siguo noticed something strange, opened his eyes, and found himself in a green bamboo pavilion. Below the pavilion was a vast turquoise lake, and the mountains in the distance were like black shadows. The scenery was beautiful, but the spiritual energy was very thin, and It was almost the same time in Sihuang City.
Is this another small cave?
Turning around, Chang Siguo was startled by an old man staring at him and took a step back.
At such a close distance, he actually didn't notice the old man's existence.
The old man was dressed in a simple gray preaching robe, with white beard and hair, and a slim appearance. He was very similar to the Taoist Priest Mingyuan who had left. However, after a quick glance, Chang Si recognized that this man was not Mingyuan, but just a resemblance. The aura of the two was completely different. Different, this person's face was serious, the corners of his mouth were turned down, and he stared at him as if he was examining a stranger.
Chang Siguo bowed slightly and said, "Chang Siguo has met my senior."
The fact that this person was able to get him here through such magical means was obviously related to Mingyuan.
The old man said expressionlessly, "No need to be polite. Since Mingyuan has chosen to let you come to accept the test, let's get started. I don't have much time left. It would be a relief for me to end it early."
Chang Si was too busy and asked, "Senior, can you tell me what the test is? You also know that Mingyuan Taoist Master Xianyun Yehe is used to not being responsible for answering questions. Up to now, this junior is still confused. Didn't he say that he came here to look for opportunities?" It’s become a test again.”
Hearing Chang Siguo's complaints, the old man twitched the corner of his mouth and made a mean smile, seeming to agree with Chang Siguo's views on the old Taoist Mingyuan, saying
"Because your cultivation level is too poor, you have not been able to break through the heart orifice level so far, and the palm punishment token seal in your body can still last for up to twenty-three years. At that time, you cannot use your sixth-level cultivation level to suppress it. If you hold the palmer's token that releases the seal, you will die wherever you hide. Therefore, before you get the opportunity, you must first withstand the test of heart orifice polishing, also called the heart-forging pass, to help you improve your state of mind."
Chang Siguo saw that the other party seemed to be cold-faced but warm-hearted and easy to talk to, so he said, "Senior, can you give me some clear explanation as to what the Heart Training Pass is?"
The old man stared at Chang Siguo carefully, as if he wanted to see Chang Siguo through, and said, "You have a pretty solid foundation. As long as you bear the sword with your body, sharpen it, and ask yourself, you will have completed the test. He waved his sleeves and said, "There's nothing much to say. Just do what you do. Within twenty years, if it doesn't matter where you come from and where you go, and whether you live or die, it has nothing to do with me. I can still give an account to Ming Yuan." This was said very heartlessly.
The strong wind roared, and Changsi couldn't help but fly out of the bamboo pavilion and fall straight to the foot of the mountain.
The old man's words came to my ears, "I forgot to tell you, I am an obsession of the old Taoist Mingyuan. I was separated by the old guy more than five thousand years ago and was thrown here to guard the stone knife weighing 120,000 kilograms. Just waiting for you to come. You can take care of yourself."
No wonder this old man is very similar to Old Taoist Mingyuan, but they are also very different. It turns out that it is the obsession that Old Taoist Mingyuan separated.
And depending on the situation, it's the kind of negative and cold emotional thoughts that are difficult to deal with.
Chang Siguo was even more shocked by the weight of the stone knife, which weighed 120,000 kilograms, exceeding the weight of Sun Wukong's golden cudgel.
Before he could finish his thought, Chang Siguo couldn't control his body and fell from a height onto a rock. The rock shattered as he fell to the ground on his back. On the way down, he discovered that the magic power and true energy in his body had mysteriously disappeared. , can't be called at all, it's so empty and uncomfortable.
Fortunately, his body was tempered and strong, and he was able to smash the rocks on the ground into a small pit.
Chang Siguo shook his shaking head and got up from the pit.
The treasures on his body were all banned, and his fire robe became ordinary, stained with sand, grass juice, and looked dirty. Chang Siguo turned around and saw the turning woods not far away. In front of him, the stone knife more than ten feet high was inserted into the ground. It was so simple and unpretentious.
"With that knife on your back, when can you climb mountains and cross ridges as if walking on flat ground, then you can move on to the next thing."
Hearing the emotionless voice of the old man Kong, Chang Siguo almost cursed.
He seriously doubted that if a stone knife of 120,000 kilograms was placed on him, he would be directly pressed into the ground without the blessing of magic power and true energy and buried alive. Even digging a pit and coffin cover would be omitted, not to mention whether the stone knife is so long and would be difficult to carry on his back. Details that get in the way.
He shook his head helplessly, and there was no reason to argue with the obsession that had been trapped here for more than five thousand years.
Chang Siguo walked to the stone knife that was more than ten stories high. He touched the warm and cool stone and looked up and down, thinking.
The test is not a reckless one. He feels that there must be other unimagined ways to solve it.
The contact with Wuqing Space was also cut off, and there was no one to discuss it with.
Chang Siguo kept circling around the stone knife like a donkey.
He carefully recalled every sentence he said to the old man, and finally the focus fell on the four words "heart aperture" and "state of mind." As long as the old man carried the stone knife and climbed the mountains and crossed the ridge, and did not urge him to do it now, it was equivalent to giving Time for him to adapt and figure things out.
Chang Siguo didn't rush to try to pull out the stone knife.
With the power of his currently restricted cultivation, he knew without even trying that he couldn't shake a guy of such weight.
After walking around for about half an hour, he trampled the weeds nearby to create a path. Chang Siguo sat down and meditated with his back on the stone knife to practice health-building skills. He felt that starting from scratch might be the right answer.
When he was on Earth, he couldn't feel Qi when he practiced health-preserving skills, but he could actually feel the benefits to his body.
If you want to carry a stone knife on your back, without the help of magic power and true energy, you have to increase the strength of your body. This is the basic principle. And the opening of the mind orifices is closely related to the health-preserving skills, so it should be wrong to start with the health-preserving skills. No.
Then supplemented by the practice of Fuhu Jin and Wuji Jin, I put heavy weight on my body to climb the mountain road every day.
It takes a toll on one's mind and one's muscles.
It's always more effective than mindless and reckless actions.
In the green bamboo pavilion halfway up the mountain, a cold-faced old man who resembled the old Taoist Mingyuan looked indifferently at Chang Siguo's fussing below.
He watched that figure meditating and practicing, boxing and practicing body skills. He watched Chang Siguo tie a rock to his back with a cane and trek on the mountain road, sweating profusely. He watched that figure become dizzy and hungry like a mortal and threw the stone. They were in a panic in the mountains looking for fruits to eat.
The cold-faced old man stood in the pavilion, looking like a stone carving, not even the lines on his clothes were touched.
No matter what method the little guy uses, if the requirements are met, he will proceed to the next step step by step.
He just has an unshakable obsession, and only in this way can he stick to this space for more than five thousand years, working hard without complaining, not changing his original intention, and adhering to the rules established by the old man Mingyuan.
Even if the destined person is crushed to death by a stone knife, his appearance will not change at all.
After several years, Chang Siguo once again tasted the feeling of being so hungry that his chest pressed against his back. He thought that he was fasting and did not need food. However, he was wrong. The old man banned his cultivation and completely reduced him to a mortal. In addition to being thicker and stronger than ordinary people, he also needs to eat, even more than ordinary people, in order to replenish his physical strength.
I found a few sour wild fruits, rubbed them on my clothes, and ate them hungrily.
After eating a few fruits, Chang Siguo found that he was even hungrier and his stomach felt uncomfortable.
Chang Siguo's long-dormant survival instinct in the wild was awakened by hunger. He pulled out the water-breaking knife that was no longer shining brightly on his waist and chopped a few green bamboos as thick as eggs. After removing the branches and leaves, he whittled one end of the bamboo pole into sharp spikes. shape, using bark fibers to tie stone pieces to increase the weight of the front end, and made four simple short bamboo spears.
Since the old man made him a mortal, he must live like a mortal.
Forget about carrying a stone knife on your back, getting some meat to fill your stomach is the urgent problem that needs to be solved at the moment.
Chang Siguo couldn't use it because of his cultivation, but he had good physical skills, sensitive ears, and nimble hands and feet. He slowly searched upstream along the stream flowing to the lake. After about five miles, he saw a flat valley in front of him. It really surprised him. I found some animal hoof marks and animal dung, and followed them for a while. Chang Siguo heard a "bleating" sound and touched them with dexterous hands and feet.
Not long after, Chang Siguo came back carrying a fat green sheep from a hunt.
Chang Siguo was so motivated that he disemboweled the green sheep by the stream, cleaned it and cut it into large pieces. After a long time, he successfully dug wood to make a fire. He lit up the bonfire and finally had a delicious mouthful of meat, although there was no salt or seasoning. However, I often think that my mouth will be full of oil after eating, and I will be extremely satisfied.
It's not easy to be a human being alone in this deserted mountain wilderness.
After a full meal, Chang Siguo carefully saved the fire in the form of a fire. All the uneaten pieces of meat were roasted and placed on bamboo sticks by the fire. Chang Siguo picked out the meat with a knife in the back and faced the sun. On the hillside, he chopped down the weeds and bushes, relying on the strong blade of the knife and the sharp edge, and spent a long time digging out a cave as big as a mouth as a shelter.
Cut down some bamboo and build a simple bamboo shed outside the cave to provide shelter from wind and rain, and also as a kitchen for baking food.
They also cut out many styles of bamboo cups, bowls and other utensils from thick bamboo.
He chopped tree stumps from felled trees to make tables, stools and beds. He also used green bamboo to bake and bend to make two simple bamboo bows, knotted wool with thin ropes to make strings, and cut bamboo poles to make sharp arrows. Archery is much more efficient than throwing spears to hunt wild animals.
He didn't know how long he would have to stay in the mountains and wilderness, so it was always good to make more preparations.
He has to think about the problem with a mortal mentality.
