Wei Shiqi sat alone under the pine tree and thought about it. The "Taiyi Foundation Building Sutra" taught by Qi Yunhe seemed incomplete. It only had the key to absorbing the vitality of heaven and earth. It did not mention the essence of the sun's fire and the moon's brilliance. It was impossible for him to cultivate the fragments of animal skins. There is nothing to learn from the above methods. He was still unwilling to give up. He concentrated on trying to sense the air of Gentu between heaven and earth. He worked for a while but found nothing.
There is a membrane between him and his vitality, and this membrane cannot be broken open by relying on the "Taiyi Foundation Establishment Sutra" but by his own efforts. He must admit that he lacks something called talent and cannot move forward.
All he can do is eat meat, eat meat continuously, eat the flesh of monsters, seize the vitality contained in it, temper the body, and forcibly dig out the orifices.
Wei Shiqi figured it out. He patted the animal skin fragments in his arms through his clothes and said to himself: "If you can't change, you can only accept it. Since you can't enter Kunlun, then you should work hard and practice stupid skills. Let’s see how far we can go.”
He left the "Tai Yi Foundation Establishment Sutra" behind, performed martial arts twice, stretched his muscles and bones, picked up his bow and arrow, and took a long circle around the top of Tiandu Peak, checking the terrain and looking for traces of wild beasts.
Tiandu Peak is majestic and steep, with lush trees that block out the sky and the sun. In the afternoon, Wei Shiqi hunted a deer and found a way back to Kuji Spring. He first whistled to call back the green wolf, took out the deer's internal organs, and after it devoured it, he gestured to tell it two things. First, stay away from Xianyun Peak, and second, look for Cheng Cheng near Tiandu Peak. A spirited monster.
This gesture was made with a lot of effort - Wei Shiqi simply picked up a stone and scribbled on the ground. He finally waited until the green wolf nodded. He didn't know whether it really understood or was pretending to be perfunctory.
He patted the green wolf on the head, carried the deer on his back and returned to Kuji Spring. He saw Qin Zhen sitting by the spring, with a slightly red face and long breathing. She was immersed in a state of forgetfulness about things and myself, unable to collect her work for a moment.
Wei Shiqi took a few glances and knew that her aptitude was excellent and her progress was so fast that it was beyond Qi Yunhe's expectations. For the first time in her life, she was able to successfully practice and began to draw the energy of fire into her body and attack her acupoints.
The difference between people is so great. Wei Shiqi was in a complicated mood, so he didn't bother her. He walked away some distance, lit a fire with a fire sickle, roasted the deer meat, and left a few of the fat and tender ones. Just take care of yourself and eat it first.
After another hour, Qin Zhen exhaled a breath of turbid air and stood up. Her eyes were as bright as stars, and her expression was full of energy. It was obvious that she had successfully practiced the "Taiyi Foundation Establishment Sutra" and had begun to get a glimpse of it.
Wei Shiqi handed her the deer meat and said, "Junior sister is extremely talented. Come, have a piece of meat."
Qin Zhen was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but want to laugh. Was it because she was "exceptionally talented" that her senior brother gave her meat? She took the deer meat, thanked her senior brother, tore off a small strip and put it into her mouth, chewing it slowly. Although the meat was cold, it was still very delicious and had a special taste.
Wei Shiqi lay comfortably in the grass, holding a grass stem in his mouth, looking up at the clouds in the sky, looking at it, slowly closing his eyes, the sun shone on his face, through his eyelids, A warm red.
Qin Zhen ate a few pieces of meat, washed her hands in the hot spring, and saw her senior brother with his eyes closed in comfort, thinking: "Master said that you don't need to sit upright to practice. You can sit up, walk, and just do whatever you want. Does this casual include lying down?" She couldn't help but ask: "Senior brother, are you practicing?"
"No, sleeping."
Qin Zhen wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh. She held her face with both hands and thought her senior brother was funny. After thinking about it, he was obviously telling the truth, just like what he said just now, "Junior sister is extremely talented, come and eat a piece of meat." Why did he make people laugh?
Practicing the "Taiyi Foundation Establishment Sutra" was quite beneficial. She was in a good mood and began to think about these random thoughts.
"Junior sister, where are you from? Who else is there in the family?"
When it came to her family, Qin Zhen felt a little melancholy. She whispered: "Both my parents died when I was young, and I was fostered in my uncle's house. My uncle...is what Master calls the disciples of the outer sect of Xiandu. After serving twenty years of hard labor, he came down from the mountain to The son of a rich family."
Qin Zhen was telling some trivial past events, and Wei Qiqi occasionally added a few words like "then" and "then". As a result, Qin Zhen couldn't hold back and started nagging a little, which even made her feel embarrassed. But after saying so many words in one breath, she felt relaxed, as if a burden had been let go.
In a blink of an eye, the sun turned to the west. Qin Zhen looked at the sky and reminded her senior brother, "Do you want to go back?" She felt a little shy when she thought of sitting on her senior brother's shoulders when going down the mountain.
Wei Shiqi was about to answer when he suddenly heard a low roar, which was the voice of Qing Lang. His heart moved and he said: "Since we are here, we will stay for a few more days, and we are not in a hurry to go back immediately."
Qin Zhen didn't have any opinions and let her senior brother make the decision. Wei Shiqi took care of her for a few words, excused himself to go away, and found the green wolf in the dense forest. He saw it grinning with pride, and lying at its feet was a fat mouse, the size of a hare, with its neck bitten off. , the coat color is leaden gray, with light yellow patterns.
"It's a mouse..." Wei Shiqi muttered. It's not like he has never eaten mice. There is a kind of mountain mouse in Laoya Ridge, which is about the same size. In the cold winter months, when the sky is full of wind and snow, and in some years when food is scarce, only those who can survive the winter can dig it up. Mountain rats can survive the harsh winter.
Wei Shiqi picked up the rat carcass and looked at it over and over for a long time. The rat was ferocious and fierce, with sharp incisors like daggers, thick and short limbs, and hard meat all over its body. He didn't know what kind of alien it was. He skinned the rat, disembowelled it, twisted off the head and limbs, washed away the blood, roasted it over the fire and ate it. It tasted pretty good, full of game.
After a while, there was a burst of heat in his stomach, rushing left and right. Wei Shiqi arched his back and hit a big tree. The severe pain spread all over his body in an instant. Savor it carefully. This pain was different from before. It's the same - the pain before was the dull pain caused by the impact of rocks, but the pain now is the stinging pain of tearing muscles, as if something was sprouting and growing in his body, sucking blood and essence desperately.
The vitality contained in the rat meat is not much, and it will be exhausted after only seven or eight hits. He exhaled a breath of waste gas and noticed that a small amount of residual vitality surged into the Lingtai acupoint, as if a drop of oil fell into the water, and they were incompatible with each other. , fighting with each other for a moment, they both dissipated invisible. As a result, the vitality in the acupoints decreased instead of increasing.
Wei Shiqi frowned and thought carefully, remembering that Qi Yunhe said that his five elements are close to the earth, so the acupoints must be full of the Qi of Gen Earth, and the vitality contained in the rat meat is most likely the Qi of Yimu, Mu Ke Because of the soil, instead of increasing the Qi of Gen Earth, it actually lost a little.
My luck had been good before. The old bear in the Black Pine Valley and the poisonous python in the Kunlun Mountains, coincidentally or not, were actually five elemental monsters.
