"..."
Chu Ming was dizzy for a while due to the terrifying three-question attack. It took him a while to come back to his senses, and he couldn't help but reveal a wry smile.
It turns out that Xi'er would also ask this kind of question!
It is indeed a girl...
"Xi'er, I like you very much. I love you and I never feel bored."
"Call Senior Sister!"
After hearing Chu Ming's sincere responses, An Muxi stood up angrily, pinched his waist with his left hand, and pointed at the tip of his nose with his right hand. Although her face was red with embarrassment, she asked serious questions that were not serious.
"Then let me ask you, what color are the underpants I'm wearing now?"
"It's black, and it's the triangle lace style I gave to my senior sister."
Seeing Chu Ming blurt out the answer without hesitation, An Muxi's lips curved up in a playful arc without leaving any trace.
Speaking so quickly, I must have been peeping quietly just now!
If you think about it this way, Chu Ming should not have lost interest in me... But why doesn't he bully me as usual?
"There's actually a reason for that."
From the weird questions An Muxi asked, coupled with the resentful look on her face as if she wanted to be bullied by him, Chu Ming finally understood what she was thinking, and immediately his soft words were mixed with a hint of helplessness.
"I don't want to do anything at this time, you know."
"snort!"
Obviously, An Muxi expressed deep doubts about these remarks.
An Muxi licked her lips that almost couldn't help rising. After coughing heavily, her autumn eyes were suddenly covered with a layer of spring mist. She immediately stretched out her slender legs wrapped in white silk and spoke. Extremely charming and provocative.
"Then why don't you let me, senior sister, solve this problem for you?"
"!?"
Seeing An Muxi's charming posture, Chu Ming couldn't help but feel a little surprised, and nodded quickly for fear of missing out.
It feels like since the wedding night with Xi'er, she has become more and more proactive!
Really good!
Sure enough, this kind of girl with a strong contrast between the inside and outside is the smoothest!
"Then I'll trouble you, Senior Sister."
Chu Ming stood up and lay on his back on the couch. After seeing this, An Muxi couldn't help but her cheeks turned red again. She pulled a stool and sat on the edge of the bed coyly, letting out a shy sigh.
"Bah! Pervert! I'm just being polite and you're serious about it!"
"It's not senior sister's job to help junior brother solve problems... Hiss!"
Chu Ming's smile suddenly froze before it lasted for a few seconds, and he immediately took a breath of cold air.
An Muxi scolded with a blushing face. Not only did this complaint not make Chu Ming feel any displeasure, but a certain attribute in his heart suddenly exploded exponentially. After some hesitation, he licked his dry lips all over his face. said excitedly.
"Sister, can you scold me some more?"
"ha?"
An Muxi looked cute, obviously not expecting Chu Ming to say such shocking words.
How come there are still people looking for scolding in this world?
"Please, senior sister."
When Chu Ming made another sincere request in a suppressed and low voice, An Muxi came back to her senses. Her shy eyelids did not dare to look at him, and she glanced briefly before whispering in a low voice.
"Okay... okay, but don't be angry if I scold you."
"Will not."
Chu Ming's eyes flashed with astonishing highlights, which made An Muxi's shy face turn rosy again, and her red lips opened and closed to utter words that made him feel extremely excited.
I didn’t expect that Xi’er can be so cute when she curses!
It's a pity that she only knows those few words, so I have to teach her.
Under Chu Ming's careful guidance, An Muxi seemed to have found her own interest in it. Her expression was particularly disgusting, and her autumn-cut eyes looking down from high gradually became filled with a queen-like coldness.
"Tell me, what did you do tonight?"
"I...I went to find Yunhu Jin."
Chu Ming frowned for a long time, and after about a few sticks of incense, he gradually relaxed. Before he could recover, An Muxi threw himself into his arms.
"You did something risky again without telling me!"
At this time, the cold temperament she had just had completely faded away, and in the blink of an eye she returned to the pretty girl who usually stayed beside her.
"Ah? Xi'er, how did you know?"
After seeing An Muxi curling up in his arms and acting coquettishly again, Chu Ming smiled tenderly and kept stroking the soft green hair behind her to comfort her.
"Actually, there's nothing dangerous."
"you're lying!"
An Muxi raised her head, staring straight at Chu Ming with her bright beautiful eyes, her cheeks slightly bulging, and she spoke solemnly every word.
"I didn't feel anything when you first left, but after about half a stick of incense, I suddenly felt a little palpitated and panicked. I felt uncomfortable all over, as if I was being stared at by something scary and weird. Same."
"When I think about it, I feel like it might not be my problem, but something happened to you!"
"ha?"
Seeing An Muxi's serious look that didn't seem like a joke, Chu Ming couldn't help but frown. After thinking for a while, he started talking about how he entered the wonders of Yunhu Lake, met the mysterious girl, escaped and absorbed the Jinyao of Yunhu Lake. He told everything about Po without missing a word, not even concealing the essence of the God of Wealth.
"Divine Essence?!"
An Muxi was still paying attention when listening to the previous part. When the word "spirit" came out, her bright eyes couldn't help but widen, and she raised her head in disbelief.
"Have you met the Marrow Beast?"
"Marrow beast? What is that?"
Chu Ming pretended not to understand. When An Muxi saw this, she left his arms and sat up. She held her chin and frowned slightly, as if she was recalling something, and then explained softly.
"I read from an ancient book in the library. Except for humans, other creatures are generally divided into ordinary animals without any possibility of cultivation; monsters with demon souls that can cultivate and condense spiritual power; and those that absorb divine marrow. The marrow beast."
"So the Yunhu brocade is probably the evolution of the Yunhu carp after absorbing the divine marrow."
"So that's it."
Chu Ming suddenly understood and nodded, then asked again in a different direction.
"Then Xi'er, do you know what the marrow is?"
"The dantian of a true immortal."
An Muxi looked back, glanced at Chu Ming indifferently, and then continued to stare at the bright moon outside the window in confusion.
"Or call it - the original seed of heaven's way!"
"?"
The dantian of a true immortal?
The original seed of heaven?
What does this all mean?
These two titles really confused Chu Ming, but before he took the initiative to ask, An Muxi immediately explained it to him.
"Chu Ming, you should know about the 'Nine Levels and Nine Heavens, Nine Realms and Nine Returns to One' in the first step of cultivation, right?"
Seeing Chu Ming nod, An Muxi continued to ask like a teacher.
"Then do you know what the 'reunion' refers to? Or the last step of the ninth level of the nine realms, that is, what is the realm after the ninth level of tribulation?"
"What a fairy."
Chu Ming smiled lightly and blurted out, and immediately his pupils shrank suddenly. His originally frivolous attitude suddenly became much more restrained, and he said solemnly with a solemn face.
"Xi'er, you call the marrow the Dantian of a true immortal..."
"right!"
An Muxi turned around and stared at Chu Ming's slightly surprised eyes as he spoke word by word.
"Those so-called gods in this world, without exception, are all cultivators who have broken through to the realm of true immortals!"
"And the Dantian where they store and condense spiritual power is also called - the marrow!"
"..."
Chu Ming's expression suddenly became clear. After all, what An Muxi said was not difficult to understand.
It turns out that the so-called "God of Flowers" and "God of Wealth"... all refer to humans in the realm of true immortals!
The ancient books also record that their appearance in this world will be accompanied by various wonders and wonders, making them look like gods...
wrong! Real immortals seem to be gods, right? !
"So, the so-called Yunhu Jin who ate the divine marrow is actually a monster that accidentally absorbed part of the spiritual power in the True Immortal Dantian?"
"That's pretty much what it means."
An Muxi saw Chu Ming holding his chin in deep thought, and then continued to explain softly in a light voice.
"After all, even if a true immortal has broken away from the human category, it still has to use its Dantian to condense and store spiritual power, which is the so-called 'spiritual marrow'."
"It seems like true immortals are still human."
Looking at An Muxi's delicate face with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, Chu Ming couldn't help but sigh, and then his expression changed again, and his expression was particularly confused.
"Then Xi'er, what do you mean by another name for the divine marrow, the original seed of the way of heaven?"
"literal meaning."
An Muxi smiled slyly, shook her head and said mysteriously.
"Chu Ming, let me test you. How many paths are there in your practice?"
"There's not much left."
Chu Ming smiled calmly, twiddling his fingers and calculating silently in his mind.
"Xi'er, you are a sword cultivator and you are practicing swordsmanship, while I am barely a stick cultivator and an alchemy cultivator."
"The Xu Shuai we met practiced the 'Way of Sorrow', while Lotte Xing, who has frequently come to trouble these days, practiced the 'Way of Joy'."
"In this way, there are already four people who have been exposed to it, let alone the others who have not been exposed to it."
"Yes, but to correct you, in addition to being a swordsman, I also practice ice."
An Muxi raised her slender hand slightly, and in the blink of an eye, a group of crystal clear ice crystals floated in the sky above her hand. She squeezed it gently and disappeared.
"It is extremely difficult to cultivate this kind of ultimate attribute, and it also requires extremely strong talent, so it is generally not the main direction of cultivation."
"Is it."
So how can you say that you can be considered a Mu Xiu?
Repair wood?
Lumberjack?
Chu Ming had some strange thoughts inexplicably, and then quickly shook his head to let his thoughts return.
"Then what does this have to do with the name of the divine marrow, the original seed of heaven?"
"That's a big deal."
An Muxi rolled her eyes at Chu Ming angrily.
"Don't you just cultivate and don't read often? There are more or less records of these things in ancient books. Have you never seen them?"
"Ah this..."
Chu Ming scratched his cheek in embarrassment and bowed to An Muxi with his hands together as if he was asking for advice humbly.
"I hope Senior Sister will inform you!"
"well."
An Muxi sighed softly, gave Chu Ming a loving look, then opened her lips and spoke slowly.
"Thousands of great avenues in the world are running parallel to each other. Every path can reach its peak in practice, but only a few of them can break through the peak and achieve the true immortal way!"
"Uh...Senior sister, can you put it in layman's terms?"
Chu Ming interrupted inappropriately, his smile extremely awkward.
"I'm a layman, so I don't quite understand."
"..."
An Muxi stared at Chu Ming helplessly for a long time with a look like a fool, then sighed softly and patted his shoulder, speaking in a gentle tone.
"Husband, it doesn't matter. Let's take it slow. I won't abandon you or hate you just because you are a fool."
"So, please listen to me first, okay?"
"Um."
After seeing Chu Ming nod, An Muxi stretched out her white and tender catkins and clasped his fingers tightly, her ethereal voice like a lark was filled with a touch of tenderness.
"All Taoist practices can be cultivated to the ninth level of transcending tribulations, but there are only a few dozen types that can break through to the realm of true immortals, that is, to reach the level of heaven."
"And those who break through to true immortality for the first time in their Taoism will be recognized by Heaven, and will live forever and ever!"
"So, the so-called divine essence is actually a reward given by Heaven to those who break through to become true immortals? Does it make their Dantian different?"
"right!"
After hearing Chu Ming's question, An Muxi showed a look of surprise, "Why have you suddenly become smarter?" This made him extremely speechless.
"Xi'er, you've made it so clear. If I don't understand it, wouldn't I really be a fool?"
"So, only those who possess the divine essence, that is, the seed of the origin of heaven, have the chance to break through to the realm of true immortals. Other Taoist practices have no chance at all, right?"
"You can say that."
An Muxi nodded, then shook his head.
"But it's not like there's no chance, it's just very difficult. If you break through to become a True Immortal, you will be the number one person in your practice."
"Is it……"
Chu Ming thought for a moment, and suddenly frowned as if something was missing. Then his eyes lit up and he opened his arms.
When An Muxi saw this, she fell into his arms again obediently and said coquettishly.
"I'm telling you something serious, and you still hug me!"
"I wasn't going to ask."
Chu Ming smiled bitterly, and then his expression suddenly became calm and suspicious.
"Then Xi'er, do you know how many Taoist practices are recognized by Heaven?"
"Hmm... Swordsmanship must be considered one. After all, I know a lot about swordsmanship."
An Muxi rubbed her delicate face in Chu Ming's arms and chuckled.
"According to legend, the ancestor of the swordsman who helped swordsmanship gain recognition from heaven also borrowed a bit of the power of Wuqingdao when he broke through to the True Immortal."
"He is a co-cultivator of swordsmanship and ruthlessness, and he has practiced both to their peak."
"But in the end, he still chose to break through the way of sword into one of the heavenly ways. This incident made many people who cultivated the ruthless way particularly angry, and their cultivation level dropped a lot."
"Drop in cultivation level?"
Chu Ming was startled for a moment, then his expression suddenly became clear.
After a person who cultivates the ruthless path has the emotion of "anger", his cultivation level will drop a lot!
This is like a person who practices "the way of mourning" and feels happy when he breaks through the realm, only to fall back again.
Chu Ming couldn't help but smile and teased in a half-joking tone.
"Sure enough, the way of swordsmanship and the way of ruthlessness are quite compatible. Then, Xi'er, you won't also practice the way of ruthlessness and abandon me in the future, right?"
"Hmph! If you bully me again, I might do this when I'm angry."
An Muxi smiled coquettishly, but she saw Chu Ming's smile suddenly stiffen, and his indifferent expression suddenly became lost, which made her panic.
"I'm just kidding!"
An Muxi hurriedly hooked Chu Ming's neck with her white and tender arms, kissed him on the left and right on the cheek, and whispered acknowledging his mistake.
"I'm sorry, husband, I was just joking."
"I will definitely not practice the ruthless path in the future. After all, although the ability of this path is much higher than other paths, it is also extremely painful to practice."
"It is impossible for me to abandon my feelings for the people around me, including you, my husband."
"It was just a joke on my part, don't take it seriously."
An Muxi raised her head timidly, only to find that Chu Ming's expression did not show any signs of anger. Instead, the corners of his mouth curved upward as if his plan had succeeded.
Only then did she suddenly come to her senses, her pretty face turned red and she punched the strong chest next to her cheek and said coquettishly.
"Chu Ming! You're teasing me again!"
"Look at Xi'er being so cute, I want to bully you."
Chu Ming did not hide his inner desire at all. He held An Muxi's delicate face and rubbed it, causing her to squeeze the fat around her waist in response.
"I was wrong, Xi'er."
Chu Ming quickly hugged An Muxi tightly from the front with his strong arms, frequently leaving his affection on her delicate lips and rosy cheeks, causing her to gasp for a while before he could let her go. chuckled.
"In addition to the way of swordsmanship, Xi'er, do you know which other ways of doing things are one of the ways of heaven?"
"Similar things include knives, guns, and sticks."
An Muxi squinted her autumn eyes, lying on Chu Ming's lap like a kitten basking in the sun, enjoying the comfort of his warm hands touching her cheeks.
"The sword is the king of hundreds of soldiers, the sword is the commander of hundreds of soldiers, the stick is the length of hundreds of soldiers, and the spear is the king of hundreds of soldiers."
"This is a common theory passed down from the people. Haven't you thought about the profoundness of it?"
An Muxi's smile was extremely cunning.
"These four are the only ones among the hundred soldiers that can break through the heavenly way. So if you have reached the peak of your stick skills, as long as you find and absorb the corresponding divine essence, you can break through to the true immortal."
"The corresponding divine essence?"
Chu Ming couldn't help showing a look of surprise.
"Can't I break through to true immortality on my own?"
"What a stupid question you asked."
An Muxi twitched her beautiful nose and said with a look of disgust.
"I've provided you with shortcuts, but you still have to explore that uninhabited land. Isn't this just looking for trouble?"
"You dare to mock your husband, right?"
After Chu Ming clicked his tongue, the corner of his mouth curled up with evil intentions, and then he leaned down and pecked An Muxi's soft and tender lips, causing her to gasp indistinctly and beg for mercy.
"I'm sorry, husband, I was wrong... Uh-huh!"
I am allergic to alcohol, have red spots all over my body, and feel dizzy. I really can’t type out the remaining one thousand words, so there are only five thousand words, sorry.
