"Xiao Daoqing, start the battle!"
"Ah? Are you going to retreat now?"
"Yes, I originally wanted to leave the Knife-edge Observation and go to the mountains to find a place for retreat. Your master was generous and gave me the Knife-edge Observation for temporary retreat. It couldn't be better."
There was a bit of excitement in the little Taoist priest's eyes. He was in seclusion, practicing, and making breakthroughs. He always felt full of martial arts. He liked it very much and wished he could replace it with his own body. Unfortunately, the master always asked him to play with the knife, and he didn't. No powerful moves are taught, they are just simple hacks and slashes, not powerful at all.
"Okay, I'll go right away. Do you need me to prepare meals for you every day?"
The little Taoist priest is only seven or eight years old, but he is good at cooking. I don't know if Chiyangzi specially trained him.
"Need not."
Dao Qing was a little frustrated. He originally thought he would see how others retreated.
"Then I'll start the battle."
"Ah Huang, please follow Xiao Daoqing these days. If there is nothing urgent, try not to go out."
"Okay, Master."
I don’t know if [Contemplation of All Things] can cure talkativeness. Ah Huang’s words are getting less and less, but he seems to be more and more powerful. Cao An has a rare sense of urgency in his heart. If he doesn’t make progress faster, he may soon die. Even Gouzi’s cultivation speed can’t keep up.
The little Taoist priest got along well with Ah Huang, and now, following Cao An's instructions, he grabbed the dog's neck and sat astride it.
"Ah Huang, let's go!"
"Hey, don't ride a dog. If you get married riding a dog, it will rain."
"Uncle Cao is scaring me again. I don't believe it. I'm already seven years old. You're just trying to trick a three-year-old."
Cao An smiled and returned to the side courtyard. After a while, an invisible wave of energy surged and covered the entire knife edge view. The sun in the sky seemed to be covered with a thin film, which was the temperature. It also dropped a few points.
"The time is just right, everything is settled and I don't have any worries."
After muttering something, he took out the futon from the gourd and placed the big yellow-skinned gourd in the corner. The futon was placed in the room. He subconsciously adjusted his clothes, sat down cross-legged, and closed his eyes slightly.
After several times of [Qingxin Jue], the consciousness enters a state of no thought.
A ray of light suddenly appeared in the depths of Cao An's consciousness. It was the realization he had in the realm above the clouds a month ago. His consciousness was chasing a little ray of light, feeling the transition between reality and reality, like a feather, floating up. .
The next second, Cao An's figure seemed to have penetrated some kind of medium. In front of his eyes was the jade energy accumulated all over the sky, clusters, clusters, like clouds and fog.
'Sure enough, I came in. The realm above the clouds and the inner scene must be inextricably linked. '
But at the moment, Cao An has no intention of paying attention to this. The jade energy is naturally close to him, and it is a completely different feeling from the outside world when he feels the energy of heaven and earth. Before he can use the technique, the jade energy is surrounding him.
Stretching out his hand, a wisp of jade energy fell into his palm. After a cool feeling, it seeped out from the other side. Like a naughty elf, he smiled knowingly, sat cross-legged, and started to use [Ming Yu Gong]. , Jade Qi swarmed in, wrapping Cao An's whole body in it.
From a distance, Cao An's figure is nowhere to be seen. It looks like a group of larger jade auras clustered together, which brings an invisible pulling force to the jade aura in the entire space, making them slow down. Moving towards Cao An, the further away from Cao An, the less affected he will be.
Cao An, who had enough jade energy, had a thought and directed the surging jade energy towards the Du Vein.
'His~'
After experiencing the pain at the soul level, Cao An still couldn't help but shout out. His body felt as if a wooden stick had been hit with great force in one place. The pain made Cao An gasp in pain. It was completely different from when he opened the Ren channel before. The time is like water and stone, there is not so much true energy in the body to call upon, and the energy of heaven and earth is not compatible with low cultivation of human beings.
But in the inner scene, since Cao An chose Jade Qi last time, all the sea of clouds in the sky have turned into Jade Qi, which is naturally compatible with and close to Cao An who practices [Ming Yu Gong]. With a single thought, a large amount of jade energy can be used for one's own use. A single impact is simply beyond what the meridians that have not been cultivated can withstand.
'Is it possible to achieve such great results in one go? '
In the inner scene, Wufu can see inwards, looking at his own meridians in a state that is almost like contemplation. The impact of that impact is far greater than his own practice in the outside world.
'Come again! Gritting his teeth and shaking his heart, he once again mobilized the jade energy to rush into the Du Vein. He endured the pain until the true energy weakened, and then he guided the jade energy to regroup and prepare for the next impact.
At this time, the changes in the Du Meridian made Cao An stop his thoughts. He saw dense cracks appearing in the Du Meridian. The entire meridian was like a tube with thousands of holes. The jade energy was leaking out from it. This discovery shocked Cao An.
Meridians are the foundation of martial arts practice. Cao An doesn't know if there are medicines and stones in the world that can cure him. Even if it can be cured, it must be a difficult problem. At this moment, in the numbness period of severe pain, Cao An was panicked for a moment.
Sure enough, even if you follow the old path again, there will be various discrepancies in details due to the essential differences between the two worlds. Sometimes, these discrepancies are enough to ruin your martial arts career.
'Will one bold move lead to lifelong regret? '
'No, it's not that simple. Cao An's eyes lit up. He noticed that the overflowing Qi did not spread away from the meridians and dispersed into the body, but condensed at the 'wound', repairing the damaged meridians at a slow speed, because the speed was too fast. So slow that I didn't see it clearly at first glance.
At the moment, he did not dare to act rashly. From the inner perspective, he stared at the damaged Du Vein. Time passed by. Cao An sensed that there was only about half an hour before the damaged part of the Du Vein could be damaged. All repairs completed.
After the repair, the Du Vein showed a faint light, and I felt its toughness, which was far better than before.
'A blessing in disguise? If the twelve meridians of the body are transformed with this method, the true energy in the body will exceed other monks in the same realm in terms of purity and quantity. '
Cao An, who no longer had any scruples, made up his mind, activated his jade energy, and repeated his previous behavior.
At the Knife Kou Temple, Cao An was in retreat in the side hall, and it had been more than two days since the grand guarding array was opened. The young Taoist priest and the old Huang dog were left living in it. Fortunately, there was enough food in the Taoist temple, and there was a lot of open space in the temple. Some vegetables are also grown on it, so self-sufficiency is no problem.
The little Taoist priest does not need anyone else to take care of him at all and can take care of himself. I don’t know how the old Taoist Chiyangzi taught him. Even if the old Taoist priest is not around, the little Taoist priest never slacks off. He adheres to the rules arranged by the old Taoist, practicing boxing and taking morning classes. , sweeping, and practicing swordsmanship. Except for the fact that there are no pilgrims and no need to welcome people, everything in the Taoist temple is running as normal.
In his free time, he regained his childlike nature, riding Lao Huang and holding a wooden sword, charging and playing in the martial arts field inside the temple.
"Ah Huang, when do you think I will grow up?" Daoqing, who was tired from playing, lay on the martial arts field and asked, looking at the hazy sky.
The old dog Ah Huang stuck out his tongue. Children of this age are in the period when people hate dogs. They are full of energy, but with their demonic physique, they are also a little tired.
"Then why do you want to grow up? You will grow up naturally when you reach your age. According to your human calculations, it should take about eight, nine or ten years."
"I want to be like Master and Uncle Cao, walking around the world and slaying demons."
"Hey! Ha!" After saying this, he jumped up and made two gestures with the wooden knife in his hand.
The old dog turned over and said nonchalantly. "Then the first person you want to get rid of is me."
"Then how can it be the same? We are friends, how can I get rid of my friends? By the way, it's been two days. Uncle Cao will be okay in there. I did something wrong before, and Master didn't give me a meal. "Dun, I'm so hungry that I can't bear it." The little Taoist said worriedly.
"Bah, bah, bah, crow's mouth, the child's words are blown away by the strong wind, what can happen to my master? Besides, it's just three scenes, nothing can happen, my master is very powerful."
"How about we go take a look? Just take a look. We will do it quietly without disturbing Uncle Cao. We will take a look through the window. In this way, if he really has any problems, we can respond immediately. come over."
Looking at Xiao Dao's big and sparkling eyes, Lao Gou hesitated for a while. Two days of seclusion was indeed a long time for Cao An at this level. His body did not have the ability to live without food. Long-term seclusion would be harmful to the body. Useless.
"As promised, you can only look at it, not get close to it, just look at it from the window!"
"Of course, why would I disturb Uncle Cao's practice? Let's go."
One person and one dog quickly came to the outside of the side hall. The little Taoist priest tiptoed close to the window, only to realize that he was still a little short in height. The windows of all the rooms in the Taoist temple were slightly higher than him. His little face wrinkled and he looked towards He met the old dog next to him, suddenly smiled and waved to him.
The old dog leaned over, and after watching his gestures for a long time, he realized that he wanted to give him a cushion, so he leaned over reluctantly. At this time, the old dog was no longer the same as he was in Xiaoyin Village. He was now bigger. Not to mention, he is also extremely strong, and his small body will not be a problem at all.
Stepping on the old dog's back, Dao Qing reached the window. He narrowed his eyes through the gap and could just see Cao An sitting in the hall.
At this moment, his back was turned to Dao Qing, his green clothes were soaked with blood, and there was a faint stench in the air.
The little Taoist priest was so horrified that he covered his mouth with one hand. His feet were unsteady and his body fell backwards uncontrollably. The old dog noticed the strangeness for the first time and blew a soft wind to support the little Taoist priest.
There was a bit of majesty in his eyes, "What happened?"
"Uncle Cao, it all stinks!!"
