After Li Ye worked hard for ten days, he finally broke his own record and could last for an hour in the bitterly cold Hanhan Pond.
At the same time, he also sadly discovered that from the fourth day on, he could no longer perceive and absorb the faint trace of heaven and earth energy in the cold pool.
All told, he only absorbed three traces of the vitality of the cold world.
No matter whether he punched the Crouching Tiger Arhat several times in the pond, or waved the Ruoshui Sword to stir up the snowy water at the bottom of the pond and rush it into the air, Hantan seemed to have abandoned him, no longer paying attention to the spiritual consciousness he released, and fighting hard. The feeling of death.
With no other choice, he had no choice but to try to melt and combine these three subtle vitalities of heaven and earth.
After three days of unremitting efforts, he finally got his wish. These three strands of icy air, like ropes woven from cold heavenly silk, quietly appeared on the golden elixir in his Dantian, causing him to have a purple golden elixir again. There is an extra weird white line.
As Lao Yuan said, Li Ye's body is now as hard as iron and invulnerable, comparable to a weapon without an edge.
However, he was not satisfied. He wanted to absorb more ice power so that he could hide a sharp killing weapon and save a small life at critical moments in the days to come.
The old ape looked at Li Ye, whose face was full of anger, as if he were looking at the wild flower in spring on the other side of the stream, with a look of vicissitudes of life on his face.
Lying on the bamboo chair, he said softly: "If we are like you and it takes one or two years to complete all the exercises, why do we still want to punish those practitioners who have been practicing hard all their lives without making breakthroughs?" ?”
"You have completed these two practices in the glacier and the pool at the bottom of the waterfall. In the following days, you can either quietly copy scriptures here, or you can think of other ways to practice your snow-cutting skills in the wind and snow. His swordsmanship is also good."
The old ape shook his head, thinking that you are too cruel to yourself.
Li Ye looked at him and smiled, but couldn't think of a way to pick him up.
"If you have put in a lot of effort and still have no breakthrough, you should stop practicing in moderation and wait until you have more insights and better opportunities in the future to come back to practice."
At this moment, the old ape suddenly thought of Xiao Bai, thinking that one was too lazy to live, and the other was practicing without risking his life.
"I'm not your husband, and my method of practice is completely different from yours. I can't give you any more advice. I just want to remind you not to make yourself crippled. You will die in the waterfall of Tianshan Mountain and the cold pool under the waterfall. It will still be somewhere.”
Li Ye looked and rubbed the back of his head and replied sheepishly: "It's impossible, I just won't risk my life in the future."
How could the old ape believe him? He didn't know how many times he had heard this.
"My descendants, the descendants of the old wolf, even if one of them is as crazy as you, even if we are dreaming, we will wake up laughing in our dreams. If you understand the truth, you must abide by it. Don't ask me to repeat it. To remind you again."
He waved his hand and looked at Li Ye, who was standing by the greenhouse looking at the snow scene, and said, "Don't look at it. Come over quickly and make tea. Then take out the peanut pastry and put it on the table. I've been crazy with you for ten days. I'm so old. You’ve been tortured a lot.”
Li Ye nodded and returned to the shed to put a teapot and boil water, reminding himself to remember this principle firmly and not to take advantage of others in his future practice.
If you really can't cross the threshold, give up temporarily. No matter what, don't climb up the 100-foot stone wall regardless of life and death like you did when you carried Xiaobai on your back.
Li Ye said with emotion: "In the future, I will always remind myself not to dig into the horns that cannot be penetrated, so as to make my life easier."
After speaking, he took out the bag Xiaoqing brought from the wooden shelf behind him, picked out a plate of apricot cake, and placed a plate of peanuts on the table.
The old ape stared at Li Ye who was sitting at the table boiling water and making tea, thinking to himself that this little guy was indeed a new generation of evil legend in Tianshan Mountain.
Dare to risk your life to challenge the limits in glaciers and cold pools, or you can just give up after your own hard persuasion. Everything in this world is easy to pick up but hard to put down.
The old ape took a deep breath.
"I heard that you conquered the cold pool under Lao Yuan Cave?"
A voice sounded from outside the shed, and the old wolf covered in snowflakes stomped his feet and shook off the snow on his body, then walked in calmly.
He glanced at the old ape who was lying on the chair with his eyes closed, and then at the peanut cakes on the table, and said casually: "The day before yesterday, Xiaobai slipped out and told me about some recent practices. I will come down when I have nothing to do. Take a walk.”
The old ape, who had closed his eyes to meditate, opened his eyes and looked at the old wolf with a strange expression. After thinking for a long time, he suddenly said: "If you don't come down, we will finish the meat hanging under the eaves. We won't know how to come down for a long time, which will hurt me." You can’t have fun drinking alone.”
The old wolf turned his head and saw that there was still a leg of antelope meat hanging under the eaves that Li Ye and Cai Lang were reluctant to eat. He immediately burst out laughing, causing the snow on the roof to fall down.
"It's rare that you, the old and the young, are still thinking about me, old man. Today we will roast this meat and have a good drink with you. I won't go back tonight and will sleep here with Xiaobai."
Lao Hen rubbed his palms, his eyes were bright, as if he could smell the aroma of burning knives and barbecue.
Li Ye heated a tea cup for Lao Lang, handed it to him, and poured him some more tea.
Pointing to the snacks on the table, he said: "Xiao Qing brought this from the mountain. If you don't come, senior and Xiao Bai will eat them all."
The old ape glared, looked at Li Ye and the old wolf and said, "Am I so dirty? Is this how you think about me and Xiaobai? You forgot who was accompanying you by the pond. I saved you." Xiao Ming, are you unhappy after eating some snacks and drinking a few bottles of wine?"
Lao Lang and Li Ye ignored him. Lao Lang grabbed the peanuts from the plate and peeled them to eat. Li Ye picked up a piece of apricot cake and stuffed it into his mouth.
The old wolf held the tea cup, rolled his eyes at the old wolf and said, "What this old guy said makes no sense. Apart from drinking, what else does he do all day long? Don't pay attention to him."
The old ape patted his head and said, "You're here just in time. Let's take him up the mountain to practice tomorrow."
"Do you think that the thunder on the mountain will hit you sooner, or do you think that you have lived a leisurely life in the past few years? Is the mountain a place he can go to now?"
The old wolf chewed peanuts in his mouth while looking at the old ape with disgust.
The old wolf glanced at him and said nothing more. He just held the cup and drank tea, thinking that it would be time to get to Youshi so that he could roast the antelope meat hanging on the eaves and drink the roasting knife that the little girl brought.
Li Ye looked into his eyes quietly and said softly: "I want to go see the top of the mountain."
At this time, he thought of Mumu's master Bai Susu. He wanted to see the scenery on the top of the mountain. It must be very magnificent.
The old wolf raised the stage, looked at him, and then looked back at the old ape lying on the bamboo chair.
He said calmly: "You can't go to that place. Even if you get distracted in the future, don't go up there unless you finally reach our level."
"Don't listen to the old guy talking to you. If you really go up with him, he will definitely get angry with you. Even though he and I have been practicing on this mountain for thousands of years, we have only gone up once."
After the old wolf finished speaking, he turned around and glared at the old ape fiercely, thinking to himself, you old guy, don't you think it's a big deal?
Li Ye said, "Has Xiaobai gone up with you?"
The old ape lying on the bamboo chair said expressionlessly: "How old is that little guy? How dare the old man take him up there? I was just kidding you, that place is cold all year round and will be broken into pieces if you are not careful."
"Really? Is it that scary?" Li Ye looked at the two people and expressed disbelief.
The old ape ignored him, picked up a piece of pastry, looked at the two of them and said.
"In my opinion, it doesn't make any sense for you to go up now or in the future. Unless you have reached the level of Po Xu Monk, you have to consider how to go up carefully and ensure that you will not fall to death."
The old wolf said calmly: "You can be curious. In fact, except for the ice and snow that never melts all year round, not even a single blade of grass will grow there. The Tianshan Snow Lotus I gave you, with your current state, you can't live on the mountain for ten years." You may not meet a flower waiting for you.”
"I don't believe you suddenly want to go to the top of the mountain." The old ape lifted the animal skin quilt, stood up and sat at the table.
Rubbing his eyes, he asked, "Do you want to know why Bai Susu asked your husband to accompany her to the top of the mountain to escape the tribulation when she felt it?"
"If it is because of this incident, I can tell you clearly that even if she has a very terrible practice, she will be wiped out accidentally when faced with the terrible catastrophe. This is why Lao Lang and I are looking forward to it very much It’s a matter of meeting your husband.”
Li Ye smiled and said, "I just wanted to see where Mr. has been, but I didn't expect it to be so dangerous."
The old ape did not smile and said: "If you don't want to practice swordsmanship, then stay here and copy the scriptures for us, and then finish your endless braiding hat."
The old wolf looked at him quietly and asked thoughtfully: "If you have nothing to do, why don't you go for a run with Xiaobai on the hillside, catch some hares and roast them, and weave a bucket hat for you?"
"He thought that his face would be dark, and he was afraid that if he went down the mountain, people would misunderstand him as a spirit beast from the mountain." The old ape laughed loudly, took the New Year's tea cup, poured boiling water on it.
Li Ye was speechless, reluctantly poured him hot tea, and then gave him a stern look.
The old wolf stood up, walked to the eaves, took down the hanging antelope meat, and patted it gently.
Said: "It's okay to make a bamboo hat. If you don't cause trouble to others, you will have less trouble yourself. If you don't have time to explain, you might as well have a drink with me. How can those stupid people in the world understand the pain in your heart."
...
Li Ye took the antelope meat from the old wolf's hand, took out the salt and spices and started marinating it.
He lowered his head and thought for a moment, then looked at him and said, "Xiaobai eats and sleeps these days. Do you want to go to the cave and see if it is going to break through or is it going to hibernate like that black bear?"
The old wolf smiled with a complicated expression: "It ate two snow lotuses last time. It is probably going to enter the country, right? I'll go take a look and catch it to eat."
"I also estimate that this little guy is going to enter the country, but I don't know what kind of changes it will have this time." The old ape thought for a moment and then said, stroking the beard on his chin: "But I think it may turn into a human form."
Li Ye was slightly startled and murmured: "How can it be so fast? How long has it been before you become a human? Don't I have an extra little brother? Love is really something worth being happy about."
The two of them were holding cups and drinking tea. It was extremely quiet in the shed, and they could only hear the sound of the water boiling on the stove.
Li Ye felt a little resentful: there was no need for him to go into the cold pool, and he couldn't get to the top of the mountain he wanted to go to.
In the following days, apart from practicing swordsmanship, I only had to copy scriptures.
