When Xiaobai could swing the knife ten thousand times in two hours, Tianshan ushered in the first heavy rain in early summer.
The river outside the woods suddenly surged and thunder roared.
Li Ye stood at the door of the wooden shed, staring at the rushing river below the cliff. He looked at Xiaobai and said, "Do you want to go to the river with me to practice your sword skills? By the way, I can help you temper your body."
Xiaobai jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on, pointed out of the shed and said, "You are crazy, don't pull me in! Ask Grandpa Ape if he is going? If he goes, I will go."
"You are a master in the Nascent Soul Realm, how can you be afraid of a mere flash flood? I will teach you how to do it, and you will be fine."
Li Ye looked at him and said seriously.
"No, I said I won't do anything except practice swordsmanship." Xiaobai jumped away and stared at him, as if guarding against a thief.
"Then do you want to go down the mountain with me, into the city, and to the Central and Western Regions together?" Li Ye asked unwillingly, staring at him.
"You almost lost your life in a flash flood last year, and I won't go even if you kill me!" Xiaobai said viciously. He has not forgotten the scene last year.
The old ape who was sitting in the room drinking tea shook his head, looked at Xiao Bai and Li Ye, and thought, how could anyone teach people to practice like this?
Looking at the two of them, he said slowly: "You can't teach him like this. I'll help you when the rain stops tomorrow."
After saying that, he gave Li Ye a wink, which meant don't look at me in a hurry.
Li Ye didn't say anything. He leaned against the door and glanced at the torrent outside Yaping. He slowly walked back to the table and sat down at the table with his hands behind his back.
Turning around and looking at Xiao Bai, he said, "Even if Senior Old Wolf is here, he can't control what I asked you to practice."
Xiaobai shook his head desperately, turned around, jumped off the bamboo chair, and sat next to the old ape. I thought to myself, even if I am afraid of you, Grandpa Old Ape is not afraid of you.
Scratching his head and looking at Li Ye, he said unwillingly: "I want to live a few more years."
When the old ape heard this, he made a "poof" sound and sprayed the tea that he had not yet swallowed on the ground next to Xiaobai, almost hitting Xiaobai's face.
"You little thing, you're afraid of death before you even start practicing. If you're afraid of death, what are you doing in human form?"
The old ape picked up Xiaobai's ears and cursed.
With a little effort, Xiao Bai broke free from the old ape's hand, jumped to a chair on the side and sat down, staring at the two of them.
Li Ye's mood became more relaxed after hearing the old ape's reply. He poured boiling water into the purple clay pot, thinking that he had indeed been practicing desperately for the past year.
The old ape looked at Xiaobai and sighed, thinking that since you have transformed into a human being, there is no reason why you should not endure hardship.
Li Ye looked at Xiao Bai opposite and said, "How can one not endure hardships in cultivation? Fortunately, Senior Lao Yuan and I are here, wouldn't it mean that your life was in vain?"
Xiaobai didn't nod, but cried and said, "I get scared whenever I think about what you looked like last year."
"I was at the first level of the Golden Core last year, and you are now at the first level of the Nascent Soul. You are so scared!" Li Ye scolded Xiaobai while adding tea to the old ape.
"Should you have cultivated your spiritual consciousness in the Nascent Soul Realm? With your spiritual consciousness, there will be no danger in mountain torrents. Don't open your eyes when you stand in the river. Just release your spiritual consciousness to sense the distance a few feet in front of your body. If there is danger, just Use the black knife in your hand to split it!"
Li Ye scolded him while teaching him.
The old ape glanced at Xiaobai, picked up the tea cup in front of him and said, "If the old wolf were here, he would probably throw you into the river directly. How could he tell you so many truths."
Xiaobai felt that his cheeks were slightly hot, so he touched them subconsciously and said in a low voice: "But I'm still scared!"
When Li Ye heard this, he shook his head and did not continue to scold him.
The old ape looked at Xiaobai's expression and sighed: "You are also a divine creature from the starry sky. No matter how bad you are, you are much better than the children here. No matter how you look at it, you don't look like a person who is afraid of death. "
When Xiaobai heard this, he shuddered and wanted to say something, but he didn't say it.
For Xiaobai, life is a very stress-free thing, whether he is in Tianshan or following Li Ye to Fengyun City in the future.
For him, he didn't even know why he was practicing. He only knew that by following Li Ye, he would have food and would not be in danger. These were the most important things to him at the moment.
"I've never seen a shapeshifting elf with no courage like you. You've totally embarrassed us." The old ape said angrily.
Xiaobai grinned and said: "I just don't have the courage. Just don't look at me and drink tea!"
The old ape was so angry that he almost slapped him.
Li Ye looked at him funny, pointed to the misty cedar forest under the cliff and said: "Xiaobai, senior Lao Yuan and I are here. You can try it yourself tomorrow. If you really can't stand it, let out a roar and senior will naturally carry it." you come back."
"Is that okay?" Xiaobai looked at the old ape timidly and asked.
The old ape didn't even think about it and replied: "Why not? I told Li Ye the same thing last year."
Xiaobai said angrily: "Last year...it seems that my brother didn't call you, but you brought him out by yourself."
Hearing this, Li Ye was stunned and turned to look at the old ape, blankly recalling the scene last year.
...
"Nonsense, if I hadn't brought him out, he would have froze to death in the ice pool. Why are you howling if I don't let you enter the ice pool now?" The old ape stretched out his hand and knocked Xiao Bai's head gently.
Li Ye said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, as long as you have enough confidence, use your spiritual consciousness to sense danger, and use the knife in your hand to eliminate the danger in front of you. If you survive the first time, it will be easier next time. "
The old ape also nodded, looked at him and smiled.
Looking at the two of them, knowing that there was no way to escape, Xiaobai asked after a long silence: "You two must ensure that I am not in danger!"
Li Ye glanced at Old Ape, thought for a moment and then said: "You stand by my side when we go down to the river tomorrow. Senior Old Ape and I will ensure that you are not in danger."
The old ape looked at him and nodded, continuing to drink tea from the cup.
Xiaobai nodded slightly.
Li Ye patted Xiao Bai on the shoulder and said, "Don't think wildly. You will face more dangers when you become a human being. If you don't even dare to suffer this, just stay on Tianshan Mountain and endure it." A thousand years."
Xiaobai's eyes widened, indicating that it was impossible.
Li Ye ignored him and continued: "Wait until you are as old as your Grandpa Ape and Grandpa Wolf, and survive until the Nine Tribulations come. Then go to the top of the mountain to survive the tribulations and return to the world where you were originally born."
Hearing this, Xiaobai shook his head and said it was impossible.
The old ape smiled and said nothing.
Li Ye didn't continue, just looked at him quietly and smiled.
Xiaobai sighed helplessly, patted his butt and stood up. He looked at Lao Yuan and Li Ye and said, "I can't defeat you, so I have to try tomorrow without risking my life."
After saying that, he rushed out of the wooden shed and ran into the cave in the blink of an eye.
The old ape pointed at the door with a smile and said, "How could such a good little thing turn into such a lazy thing!"
"He is too young. Senior Old Wolf has been protecting him all the way. Without a dangerous life, naturally there is no motivation to fight. I can only guide him slowly in the future." Li Ye sighed softly.
"Actually, I can ignore him. After all, he has reached such a high level and will make breakthroughs in the future. As long as he doesn't mess with others, there is naturally no danger in the world."
Li Ye looked outside the door and sighed softly.
The old ape looked at him and said: "But he will leave you one day. Since he has entered the human realm, he must learn to practice. Even if there is danger ahead, he has to face it."
"Am I too harsh on him?" Li Ye said seriously.
"It's just about practicing body tempering in a mountain torrent. It's so harsh. What's the point of hard work?" The old ape smiled.
Li Ye smiled self-deprecatingly and stared at the heavy rain outside the shed. After a while, he said: "This weather is suitable for drinking a glass of wine. I wonder if Senior Old Wolf will come down today. There is still a pickled hare that Xiaobai caught yesterday." eat."
"What if he doesn't come?"
"Wait until dusk, if he doesn't come I'll have a drink with you."
"Will you drink with me?"
"I'll drink with you, and then call Xiaobai."
...
The torrential rain that had been falling all day and night finally broke out in the early morning. A light rain and fog shrouded Yaping before it dispersed. Lao Yuan, Li Ye, and Xiao Bai were already standing on the edge of the torrent.
Li Ye took off his clothes and shoes, stood on the shore and breathed quietly for a while, calmed down, let go of his consciousness, and walked step by step towards the mountain torrent with the Ruoshui Sword.
"Don't be afraid, Xiaobai. Remember to let go of your consciousness when you come down, sense the mountain torrent in front of you, and use your sword if you encounter danger!" Li Ye shouted loudly.
Rolling torrents came towards him, mixed with rocks and branches, and the cold river water hit Li Ye's thin body.
The Ruoshui Sword in his hand kept swinging out with the feeling of Taoist consciousness, and rocks and branches rose into the sky, and he slashed them out of the torrent of water.
Xiao Bai tremblingly took off his clothes and shoes, carrying his black knife. Before he could react, the old ape threw him into the flash flood three feet away from Li Ye with a wave of his hand.
Just a howl was heard, and there was a huge noise in the river.
"Xiao Bai, release your consciousness quickly and sense the danger in front of you!" Li Ye waved his hand and blocked a branch from the mountain torrent for him.
"I can't do it, I'm going to die!" The little white monster shouted, rose into the sky, and jumped onto the shore.
Li Ye was stunned for a moment when a branch rushing down from the front scraped the man's right arm, knocking him down a few steps.
With a loud shout, he quickly calmed down and tried his best to sense the danger ahead. He yelled: "You little bastard, if you don't practice well, do you still want to kill me?"
The old ape on the shore waved his hand and caught Xiao Bai who jumped onto the shore. With another wave, he continued to throw him not far away from Li Ye.
Angrily, Dantian roared. "Little one, feel the danger of flash floods and don't implicate your brother."
I saw Xiaobai using his hands and feet, waving his hands randomly, and in less than a moment, he screamed strangely, soared into the sky, and jumped onto the shore.
The old ape reached out and grabbed Xiao Bai, flicked him hard, and threw him beside Li Ye.
Letting out a strange cry again, Xiaobai stood in the torrent.
Li Ye no longer paid attention to Xiao Bai, who was screaming strangely in the mountain torrent. He focused all his consciousness on the mountain torrent five feet in front of him, feeling every upcoming danger. While resolving the danger, he let the surging mountain torrent continue to cool down. Refine your body.
Xiaobai, who was in the flash flood, persisted for a quarter of an hour this time. He screamed strangely again, rose into the sky, and jumped onto the shore.
The old ape on the shore was angry. This time he no longer grabbed it with his hands. Instead, he suddenly moved forward and kicked Xiaobai on the buttocks. He continued to kick Xiaobai into the mountain torrent.
Xiaobai persisted for a while and continued to scream and jump to the shore.
The old ape continued to kick without mercy.
...
Once the old ape kicked him eight times, Xiaobai, who was in the mountain torrent, finally overcame his fear, released his spiritual consciousness, sensed various dangers ahead, and at the same time used the black knife in his hand to cut out one by one, resolving the crises one after another. ...
Li Ye, who was getting better and better, no longer paid attention to Xiao Bai around him and the old ape on the shore.
Under the operation of his powerful formless dharma body, at the same time, the true essence of the fifth level of the golden elixir circulates rapidly in the twelve main meridians.
In the five-foot mountain torrent in front of him, there were no more rocks or branches to approach, and at the same time, it also eliminated a lot of dangers for Xiaobai not far away.
After overcoming his fear, Xiaobai found confidence. The black knife in his hand no longer trembled. Every time he cut, he cut iron into mud, cutting away the rocks and branches in the mountain torrent.
At the same time, he felt the rolling torrent washing over his body, grinning and trying not to scream anymore.
Even after transforming into a human being, the physical hardness of the beast cultivator still remained, helping Xiao Bai resist the impact of the rolling torrent.
Finally, after holding on for an hour, Xiaobai shouted for help. The old ape on the shore used his feet hard, swept across the water, picked up Xiaobai from the torrent, turned around and threw him on the shore.
Xiaobai, who was exhausted, sat paralyzed on the shore, gasping for air, and yelling strangely: "Thank you, Grandpa Yuan, for saving my life. Xiaobai, I can finally practice in the mountain torrent, hahaha!"
The old ape knelt down and gently touched Xiao Bai's head. With a loving look on his face, he pinched his whole body. He found that there were only some red and swollen scratches and no internal injuries, so he nodded with satisfaction.
Then he pointed at Li Ye in the torrent and said, "Look at your brother, he is only at the fifth level of the Golden Core."
With a wail, Xiaobai fell to the shore.
The old ape patted Xiaobai gently and said, "You performed well today. Let's continue tomorrow."
