Wei Shiqi had a dream. In the dream, he returned to the past, hiding alone in the study room at the attic, reading quietly. Outside the window is a terrace, with wisterias and loofahs covering the shelves, blocking out the harsh sun and giving you a refreshing view. The wind blew through the screen window, flipping the pages of the book and making a rustling sound. Reading one book after another, time seemed to stand still at this moment. Only by immersing himself in other people's world could he forget himself.
Then, he woke up and found that he was still in someone else's world.
The body completely returned to normal, and the pain disappeared without a trace. Wei Shiqi took off his ragged coat, bare his upper body, and used a machete to shine on his back. There were only some abrasions and skin injuries that did not hurt the muscles and bones, nothing serious.
Wei Shiqi calmed down, thought carefully, and vaguely felt that he was on the right path of cultivation. For some reason, he could not absorb the moonlight directly, but the bear demon's body had been tempered by the moonlight for a long time and was full of vitality. Although it was not much, it was enough for him to take a crucial step.
Practicing the skills on the animal skin fragments was extremely draining, and his stomach was empty. A strong sense of hunger came over him, and Wei Shiqi felt that his eyes were about to turn green. Will you continue to eat bear meat? He was a little hesitant. The painful experience last night made him afraid. He picked up the hunting fork and bow and arrow, intending to get some pheasants, hares and other prey to satisfy his hunger. He took a few steps and turned back. If he misses this village, he won't have this shop. If the bear meat is taken away by wild beasts, or if it rots before eating, he will definitely regret it.
Wei Shiqi cut down the branches and built a simple elevated structure, which is the way hunters in the mountains and forests store their prey. He chopped off the bear meat piece by piece, put it on the shelf, and covered it with branches to block the dust. After working for a while, he was even more hungry. He stirred up the smoking ashes, rekindled the bonfire, roasted five or six pieces of bear meat and ate it. With a tragic mood and masochistic pleasure, he re-saved the pain that was worse than death.
After fifteen impacts, he heard a slight "click" sound again, like the sound of nature, saving him from hell.
Day after day, the same training was repeated every day. The pain gradually became a habit and became bearable. The changes in his body were extremely obvious. Wei Shiqi felt that he was stronger than before, his muscles and bones were tough, his food intake increased sharply, and he could swallow a lot of food in one meal. After eating more than ten kilograms of bear meat, the vitality in his body was like a violent sea tide. He hit the tree trunk more and more times, and the force became stronger and stronger. The tree trunk, which was as thick as the mouth of a bowl, could no longer bear the force of his collision.
The old bear was so fat that it was almost as big as two adult black bears. After removing the skin, bones and internal organs, it weighed three to five hundred kilograms of meat. Even though Wei Shiqi had an amazing appetite, it took him more than half a month to eat half of the flesh and blood. .
Finally one day, the trickling water merged into the river and the sea. After the continuous collision, the Lingtai point on the back burst open silently, and the vitality poured in like a whirlpool, entrenched in it, and became his.
Wei Shiqi couldn't help but open his arms, look up to the sky and roar, the vitality once again overflowed from the Lingtai point, tempering the muscles, bones, flesh and blood, giving birth to vitality. Using the tree trunk as a hammer and the vitality as a drill, he drilled the first acupuncture point in the human body through repeated efforts. He felt like he had been reborn. This feeling was so good!
After the clouds opened and the moon shone brightly, Wei Shiqi decided to relax for a day, walk around, look at the sky, look at the clouds, blow in the wind, and think about his thoughts. He wouldn't go too far. The remaining bear meat was his treasure. He decided to continue practicing and dig out the second hole as soon as possible.
He wanted to know what it would be like if the two acupoints were connected.
Cultivation is addictive, but as Cheng said, the greater the hope, the greater the loss. Wei Shiqi spent less than ten days eating the remaining bear meat, but there was no sign of loosening in the second orifice. The only good thing is that the Lingtai point contains more and more vitality. As the muscles, bones, flesh and blood are continuously tempered, the whole person loses a few points and becomes strong and strong.
There is a brain in the skull, and there is marrow in the bones, but the bones are the most tempered by the moonlight. If they cannot be split, they will continue to be smashed. If the force is too strong, the best horn scimitar will break into two, leaving only the bear bones. When there was a faint white mark, Wei Shiqi had no choice but to give up and buried the bear bones and skin in the soil, marking them for future use.
The mountains and forests roared, and the sun shone on his face. Wei Shiqi shook off the dust, stretched his body, and ran towards the Black Pine Valley. His chest, abdomen and limbs were full of strength, and climbing over the mountains felt like walking on flat ground. He quickened his pace and rushed into the Black Pine Valley like a whirlwind, his heart full of expectations.
He found the old bear's lair, held his breath, and slowly walked in with a torch in hand. It was a stone cave about ten feet deep. The firelight cast countless dancing shadows on the four walls. There were leftover bones everywhere. It was just like an ordinary bear's den, nothing special. He kicked away the scattered bones with his feet and searched carefully inch by inch. As a result, he found a mutilated human skeleton in the deepest part of the cave. A white skull, a backbone broken into three parts, and several arm and leg bones were carefully stored in a stone nest.
Although he gained nothing, the human bones gave him some hints - I don't know which year, the old bear killed a human monk. After drinking blood and eating meat, he got a piece of animal skin, and he started practicing for some reason. , became a spirit.
The animal skin is clearly painted with a human form, and even a beast can practice according to it, but he can only chew bear meat. It is really unreasonable!
It seemed that his luck had run out. Wei Shiqi searched again for the last time and walked backwards out of the bear's den. Away from the smell, back under the blue sky, taking a deep breath, Wei Shiqi felt it was a pleasure.
He patrolled alone in the Black Pine Valley, like an old bear patrolling his territory. Late at night, when the moon rose in the east and the clear light illuminated the forest, Wei Shiqi jumped on the huge blue stone, raised his head to the moon, and tried Swallowing the moonlight.
After struggling all night, his jaw was almost dislocated, but nothing happened. This confirmed Wei Shiqi's suspicion that he belonged to what Deng Shouyi said was "the vast majority of acquired turbidity" and could not directly absorb the essence of the sun and the moon. The old bear that became his food was a truly rare innate body.
If you want to continue to practice the skills on the animal skin fragments, you can only rely on eating those monsters that have become spirits. A thought suddenly flashed through your mind: "Eating monster bears can absorb vitality. If you change to a monk..." Wei Shiqi said He shuddered and shook his head vigorously, feeling that there was no limit to cannibalism.
The east turned white again, and a new day arrived. Wei Shiqi was a little worried about the green wolf. If it hadn't stolen the animal skin fragments, he wouldn't have reached this point.
"Let's go see my old friend. I wonder how it did after it hit the tree!" Wei Shiqi looked down at the dirt on his body and felt itchy all over. He decided to find a pool to take a good bath before that.
