Early morning.
Nangong Qin left the guest room.
Before she left, she said angrily: "You, a monk who practices toad kung fu, actually want my "Snake Title Heart Sutra". You are a lunatic."
"Girl, go slowly." After Li Shuidao sent the woman away, he closed the door again, took out a pen and paper from his storage bag, and immersed himself in writing the "Snake Title Heart Sutra" silently, as well as his own related insights.
When Li Shuidao finished recording his Taoist insights in Chinese characters, it was almost noon. If he didn't leave, he would have to pay for today's room.
After successfully leaving Fangshi, Li Shuidao walked alone on the vast Dulong Ridge, and a silent atmosphere filled the surroundings.
He walked lightly on the rugged mountain road and stayed away from the courtyard whenever he saw it to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.
suddenly.
Li Shuidao, who was on his way, caught a glimpse of an emerald green figure, looming in the gap between the bluestones on the roadside.
He took a closer look and was surprised to find that it was a gecko.
There was a faint evil aura surrounding it.
This is a wild first-order monster insect.
It's worth at least a dozen spirit stones.
Li Shuidao licked the corner of his mouth and pretended to approach casually. The gecko seemed to sense Li Shuidao's intention, and it quickly got into the cracks in the rocks to escape.
"Don't even think about running away!" Li Shuidao's figure was like lightning and he chased after him.
In an instant, he broke into a bush.
The dense branches and leaves passed by him, making a rustling sound. Sometimes he dodged attacks from branches, sometimes he walked through gaps in the jungle, constantly looking for traces of the gecko.
It seems that I lost the chase...
Li Shuidao and Toad Tongshen could no longer feel the evil spirit of the gecko.
Without certain magical powers, it is not easy to catch monster insects in the wild.
never mind……
Just when Li Shuidao was about to give up, his eyes fell on the ground inadvertently.
A bright poisonous weed came into view. It is hidden in the crevices of the bushes, and its flowers are dark blue, like a blooming gentian.
This is gentian.
This is a very powerful poisonous weed, and Li Shuidao looked surprised.
He took out a wooden box from the storage bag and dug carefully with a wooden spoon. The gentian exuded a bitter aroma.
The aroma itself is non-toxic, but if the gentian is dried and ground into powder, mixed with Baicao ash, and toxins with corresponding properties, if it is sprinkled on the monk's face, even the Five Poison Sect monks will have difficulty resisting it. It is completely possible Use it as your own trump card.
Li Shuidao walked alone among the mountains with thousands of peaks and emerald green peaks, moving dexterously between the dense trees.
Along the way, although I didn't search deliberately, I was lucky enough to find three more poisonous dragon grasses.
Poison Dragon Grass is a specialty of Dulong Ridge. It can be used to refine Dulong Powder, which is more popular among fellow ginseng than Purple Poison Powder.
A chill came over, and night enveloped the earth.
Li Shuidao felt extremely sleepy. He had not slept a wink last night and whispered to Nangong Qin all night long.
He steeled himself and continued on his way, and finally came to a hidden valley.
This valley, Li Shuidao, cannot be named. It is very close to the cave of the old man with poisonous hands.
It was here that Li Shuilong was bullied by several of his classmates and met his brother Li Shuidao.
There is a big tree here, half withered and half in full bloom.
There is a small stream next to the big tree. The water is not deep but clear and translucent. Li Shuidao likes to raise white cranes here and practices "Jade Toad Xing Qigong" in the stream, so he is very familiar with the terrain here.
With the help of the moonlight, Li Shuidao quickly discovered the big tree.
The branches and leaves are half withered and half in full bloom, and the huge size is very eye-catching.
Climb up the big tree two or three meters and find a comfortable position to lie down.
This is a hidden world.
The surrounding lush trees obscured the sky, and the ground was covered with soft green grass.
The breeze blows and the leaves rustle, bringing a peaceful and comfortable atmosphere.
With the ginseng jasper toad standing guard at the side, Li Shuidao soon relaxed and fell asleep...
early morning……
Li Shuidao woke up from the tree and felt refreshed.
He jumped down from the big tree, deliberately searched among the rocks under the tree, and found a letter that was stained with dew and yellowed.
The handwriting on the letter has long been blurred by dew, and nothing can be seen. If it is left for a while, not even a complete letter will be preserved.
This letter should have been left to him by Li Shuilong, and the content of the letter was most likely about the news that Zhou Yulan was going to participate in the sect trial, asking him to help kill people and take revenge.
It's not appropriate to hide letters in cracks in rocks.
Li Shuidao took the letter away, which would let Li Shuilong know the information he had received.
Around noon, Li Shuidao finally crossed the entire Dulong Ridge from Fangshi back to the cave of the Golden-faced Man.
It was just in time for lunch. Although Li Shuidao had already achieved some success in the "Golden Toad Qi Locking Technique" and his energy was slowly draining away, he still needed to eat spiritual rice, which was impossible to do with his current level of cultivation. To Bigu.
In the bamboo forest only a hundred steps away from the Golden Face Langjun's cave, a simple thatched hut stood quietly in the dense forest.
A stream flows in front of the thatched cottage, and behind the thatched cottage, green bamboo leaves sway.
The stream is gurgling and crystal clear, and the bamboo forest is rustling in the gentle breeze, seeming to convey a sense of peace and vitality.
In the thatched cottage, wisps of white smoke were rising from Li Shuidao's head as he was spreading his energy.
Completely disband the "Toad Hard Qigong" that I originally practiced.
Only by letting go of past achievements can we usher in new breakthroughs.
Generally, monks need three to five years of hard work to practice this technique, but Li Shuidao only spent a month, and it was faster to practice again, so he naturally didn't feel bad about doing it.
The foundation of Li Shuidao's practice has always been "Jade Toad Xing Qigong", and "Golden Toad Qi Locking Technique" and "Shui Yue Liu Zhu" are two branches.
"Toad Hard Qigong" can be regarded as a small sapling at best. Now it has not grown up at all, and it has even grown crookedly.
Just cut it off!
After one stick of incense...
Li Shuidao completely gave up the "Toad Hard Qigong" he originally practiced.
After a short break...
He returned to the thatched cottage again and began to rebuild. He hugged his knees with his hands and curled his body. The initial movement was a bit like a golden toad hugging a carp, but it was just like...
Li Shuidao's body became more and more curled up like a silkworm chrysalis.
"All phenomena in the world circulate like a snake with its head and tail connected, life and death..."
The essence of "Toad Hard Qigong" is to use the body to set up a defensive formation. The door must exist and can only be hidden, not disappear.
The only way to hide it is to "shrink the Yang into the abdomen."
Although the "Golden Toad Qi Locking Technique" can "shrink the Yang into the abdomen", it can no longer do it when running the "Toad Hard Qigong".
Therefore, Li Shuidao had to re-learn the "Toad Hard Qigong", leaving a back door for this skill that can be expanded and contracted. The key to the back door came from the "Snake Title Heart Technique".
Li Shuidao's cultivation process is very peaceful, just like bamboo shoots sprouting thickly and thinly, growing roots first and then shoots.
Calm and long, sprouting quietly and growing rapidly, so is his path of spiritual practice...
More than half a month later, Li Shuidao completed the reconstruction of "Toad Hard Qigong".
The power of the revised "Toad Hard Qigong" is no different from before. The only difference is that it can shrink the Yang into the abdomen, and this skill can be integrated with the "Golden Toad Qi Locking Technique". Although the integration The degree is very shallow, but as the cultivation level increases, the two may be integrated into a powerful technique in the future.
