Shao Xi's heart trembled when the other party asked him, wondering if he was brought here by this guy? What does he want to do? What do you want to do with yourself? Will he roast himself and eat it like the legend says? Then let yourself die first.
When Shao Xi looked up and saw the face in front of him, he began to curse himself for being an idiot. This was obviously an old man with a white beard. How could he connect him with a ghost? Could it be that he jumped into the pool and soaked in the water for a long time, and his brain was really flooded?
After those childish thoughts of ghosts and gods disappeared in his heart, Shao Xi calmed down and looked at the old man in front of him.
The old man in front of me was tall and thin, wearing a green robe. There was only a wooden hairpin in the bun on his head. He had kind eyebrows and kind eyes, with gray beard and hair, but his eyes were bright. He looked like a martial artist with profound internal skills. Learn from everyone.
At this time, the old man was squatting on the ground adding the branches he had just brought in to the fire. The cloth bag at his feet seemed to contain some round things. If Shao Xi judged it correctly, it should be some wild fruits picked from the mountain. .
The old man turned his head and saw Shao Xi staring at his bag with a kind smile on his face. He took out a wild fruit from the bag and handed it to Shao Xi, and asked about Shao Xi's physical condition.
"Are you hungry? Eat some fruits first. How about it? Do you feel better now? Your body doesn't hurt so much, right?"
Shao Xi felt strange in his heart, why did he know the pain in his body? And it seems to be very clear. Judging from the appearance of this old man, he looks a bit like the people on Wulong Mountain, but he is different from the Taoist priests taught by Taichang, and he is not as pretentious as those Niubi.
While biting the fruit in his hand, Shao Xi asked: "Did senior save me? I only remember that I jumped into the pool and woke up here. Senior, can you tell me what happened?" How did I get here?"
After hearing Shao Xi's question, the old man smiled calmly and said, "Is there a waterfall above the pool you jumped into? In fact, we are now on the cliff behind the waterfall, not underground. The one you jumped into The name of the water pool is Wulong Pool. Although this pool is bottomless, there is an underground river in the pool that leads directly to this place. Pindao discovered you near this underground river, so he placed you here. For you When checking the injury, Pindao probed your inner breath, and found that the sea of qi in your body was surging, your vitality was overflowing, and the meridians throughout your body were swollen to the point of bursting. I knew that you must have taken the Nine Dragon Pillow to be like this. Serious internal injuries."
Shao Xi tried hard to recall something, but found that he couldn't remember anything. But at least he was saved now, and he survived the catastrophe, thanks to the old man in front of him.
"Senior calls himself Pindao. He must be a Taoist priest on Wulong Mountain. Since he can judge the injury of this junior so accurately, it seems that he must be an extraordinary person with great martial arts skills."
The old Taoist priest waved his hand and said with a smile: "A Taoist priest is a Taoist priest, what kind of outsider is he? He is just an ordinary person who will suffer from birth, old age, illness and death. Everything in the world cannot escape the rotation of yin and yang, and the poor Taoist is no exception."
"The Taoist just mentioned that the junior's injury is related to the Nine Dragon Holding Pillar. Has the Taoist seen the Nine Dragons Holding Pillar before? Thanks to the Taoist for saving me this time, how did the Taoist heal the junior's internal injuries?"
The old Taoist priest threw the branch in his hand into the fire and said slowly: "It was not the poor Taoist who really saved your life, but the water in the Five Dragon Pond. You may not know that the Nine Dragons Holding Pillars are the most important thing in the world." Things that are extremely yang-rich have the magical effect of strengthening the body and nourishing the qi sea. When taking this thing, the dosage must be strictly controlled, and it must be mixed with water from yin to cold in Wulongtan to reconcile its yang qi and achieve a balance of yin and yang. Slowly Absorb. Judging from your injuries, you may have swallowed a large amount of Nine Dragon Holding Pillars in a short period of time, causing your Qi sea to be unable to accommodate such a huge amount of vitality, causing your Qi veins to swell, and you almost exploded to death. Fortunately you jumped into the Five Dragon Pond, otherwise you might have lost your life."
After the old Taoist said this, Shao Xi suddenly realized. No wonder I felt so uncomfortable before. It turned out to be a side effect of the Nine Dragons Holding Pillar. I really suffered a lot after going through such a torment, but fortunately I'm fine now.
"I dare to ask, sir, if this senior survived the disaster by jumping into the Five Dragon Pond, then there should be no serious problems in the future, right?"
Seeing Shao Xi's question, the old Taoist priest smiled mysteriously and said to Shao Xi: "You can be said to have a narrow escape from death this time. You should know that the overdose of Jiulong Baozhu will definitely burn the internal organs. If you don't suppress the overexposure in time, If you have too much Qi, you will definitely die. But fortunately, you jumped into Wulongtan in time, drank a lot of Wulongtan water, and the outside of your body was soaked in the pool water, so that your body reached the balance of yin and yang in time, so there were no serious consequences. In addition, When Pindao was probing your inner breath, he also probing your meridians and discovered that you are actually a person with two meridians. As far as I know, there has never been a person with two meridians like you in this world. Maybe it is Your two meridians shared the scorching wounds of the Yang Qi, so you were spared. But this time you are a blessing in disguise. The nourishing Qi of the Nine Dragon Holding Pillars has been absorbed by you, and you only need a pity when you turn around. With a little conditioning, you can rise from the early stage of the fifth stage to the peak of the sixth stage. This is because your meridians have only reached the sixth star position, otherwise you may directly break through the 'Qi Transformation Realm'."
Shao Xi was dumbfounded after hearing what the old Taoist said. What? Directly promoted from the early stage of the fifth stage to the peak of the sixth stage? Is this because my meridians have only broken through to the sixth star level? If it reaches the seventh star level, will it directly break through to the "Qi Transformation Realm"?
At this time, there were only two words in Shao Xi's mind - exciting! It’s so exciting!
According to common sense, due to the blessing of his own double meridians, the speed at which he rose to the fifth level after practicing the Taichang Heart Sutra was abnormal, but now he has directly risen to the peak of the sixth level! What does this mean? This means that he has completed overnight the level improvement that took others twenty or thirty years to complete, and the "others" here refer to those martial arts wizards who practice hard and have extraordinary talents, which can be called geniuses.
This level of improvement can be described as sitting on a rocket. From the early stage of the fifth level to the peak of the sixth level, although it is only an improvement of one level in a strict sense, in terms of the overall cultivation process, this is equivalent to an improvement of a whole level. Two products!
"Haha! I'm getting rich, I'm getting rich! I'm really getting rich this time!"
Shao Xi cheered crazily in his heart.
"Taoist Priest, are you saying that this junior has now reached the peak of the sixth level? Isn't there any restriction on the technique?"
The old Taoist smiled and shook his head, and said: "Now that you are at the peak of the sixth level due to the limitations of the meridians and stars, you are the peak of the sixth level in the true sense. No matter what kind of technique you have, you are now the sixth level. There is no longer any What a difference."
"Then -, if my meridians break through to the seventh star level in the future, will I be directly promoted to the seventh level? Now that I have absorbed the medicinal power of Nine Dragons Holding Pillars, will it help me improve my level in the future?"
The old Taoist priest couldn't help laughing after hearing what Shao Xi said.
"Don't be too greedy, little benefactor. Now that you can directly reach the peak of the sixth grade, it is a great blessing. Why do you still think about being directly promoted to the seventh grade? However, the medicinal power of this Nine Dragon Holding Pillar is indeed helpful for your future improvement of the grade. It’s a big help. In your future practice, the medicinal power you absorbed today will help improve the Qi Sea in the future, but don’t expect too much from outside forces. Martial arts practice still focuses on your own cultivation. You can only practice hard and concentrate on it. That’s the right way.”
Shao Xi was awakened by the old Taoist priest's words. Old Wu had reminded him this way back then.
In martial arts training, having external help is naturally a kind of opportunity, but fundamentally, the improvement of real strength still depends on one's own serious and hard training. Only by accumulation over time can the foundation be solid and the skills deep.
Although Shao Xi was still in some pain, he still stood up and bowed deeply to the old Taoist priest.
"This junior is so lucky to be saved by the Taoist Priest, and now I have received the Taoist Priest's guidance. I am extremely grateful. Dare you ask the Taoist Priest's name? I hope this junior will keep it in mind in the future and remember the Taoist Priest's teachings today."
The old Taoist laughed and replied casually: "My poor Taoist grandson is not here, and his Taoist name is Guangyangzi."
Shao Xi was shocked. This time he came to Wulong Mountain to make such a big noise, and now he actually bumped into the hands of the master. I heard that Guangyangzi is currently in retreat and is breaking through the "Qi Transformation Realm". It turns out that he is in retreat here. If he knew that he was the one who secretly learned the Taichang Heart Sutra, would he have his skin peeled and cramped and roasted over a fire?
When Sun Zai saw Shao Xi's expression at this time, he smiled heartily, and comforted Shao Xi: "I know who you are, and I also know why you came to Wulong Mountain. You don't have to be nervous, I'm sorry. As people who practice Taoism, they naturally understand the truth that mistakes can be corrected and that there is no such thing as good. Although you did wrong things back then, you are now able to find your way back and make up for your mistakes. This thought proves that you are not evil people. As for stealing the book. When it comes to teaching the Heart Sutra, after knowing your qualifications, Pindao feels that you are carrying it forward by learning the Taichang Heart Sutra, which is not a bad thing. You only need to promise that the Heart Method you learn is only for you, regardless of relatives or friends. Future generations will no longer pass it on."
Open-minded and fastidious, this is Shao Xi's inner evaluation of Sun Zai at this moment.
Being able to observe the essence of things through the surface and understand their inner parts, instead of blindly being angry and resentful, this fully shows how far Sun Zai's cultivation has reached. This is the person who truly understands the universe of Yin and Yang. A person who can clearly distinguish between right and wrong, good and evil.
Although he didn't say it with his mouth, in his heart Shao Xi was already a rainbow fart.
"Taoist Master Sun is indeed a man who embraces all rivers, and I have great admiration in my heart. This junior can promise to the Taoist Master that this mental method is only practiced by this junior, and no one will ever spread it to others. Anyone who violates this oath will be punished in the future. God’s damnation.”
"You don't have to swear. A trustworthy person will keep his promise even if he doesn't swear. If an untrustworthy person swears, it will be empty words. I don't hold you accountable for your mistakes that day because of what you did today. I believe in you."
Shao Xi quickly bowed and saluted: "Junior, thank you so much for your trust, I will live up to you."
