After the farmer's affairs were settled, Jining went to Master Mingyu to tell him that he was leaving the Taoist temple. Master Mingyu knew that Jining was leaving two years ago, and felt a little ashamed, so he naturally had no objection!
It's just that Master Mingyu was a little surprised after seeing Jining. He felt that the aura on Jining's body was very similar to Master Yushan of Chaotian Temple. Could it be that this little Taoist priest had some relationship with the leader?
Then Master Mingyu said that he would look for suitable personnel immediately, but it would take some time to find the right candidate. The fastest would be three months, if not half a year, if not, it might take half a year!
Although Jining was a little depressed, he had no other solution. Thinking about it, Taoist Temple and Master Mingyu treated him well. They had not given him less salary and other items in the past three years.
I am not in a hurry either.
After thinking of this, Jining didn't say anything, so he resigned with Taoist Priest Mingyu and returned to the back mountain.
Then I went to Lao Chen's house at the foot of the mountain to get some dry food. Jining asked Lao Chen to help prepare these dry food some time ago.
In order to deceive others, Jining circled around the mountainside before hurriedly getting into the forest.
In the following period of time in Jining, I basically practiced in the cave for a few days, and then returned to the thatched cottage to rest for a few days.
In total, I have been practicing in the cave for more than three months. Because there is a spiritual spring in the cave, the spiritual energy is much denser than in other places. After these three months of practice, Jining feels that he has almost reached the fourth level of Qi practice. It was at its peak, and it was possible to break through to the fifth level of Qi training at any time. Thinking of this, Jining's heart felt hot.
Jining put many unknown wild fruits in Lingquan Pool.
It turns out that Jining occasionally wanders around the surrounding mountains after practicing to see if there are other opportunities.
However, although no other opportunities were found, Jining gained some unexpected benefits.
It turned out that Jining found some wild fruits in the nearby deep mountains and forests. After tasting them, he felt they tasted sweet, so he picked some.
In order to facilitate the storage of these wild fruits, some wild fruits were placed in Lingquan.
To Jining's surprise, he discovered that if he put wild fruits into the spiritual spring for a few days, not only would the wild fruits taste better, but they would also produce a hint of aura.
But this bird became more and more courageous, and often ate all the wild fruits he picked and stored in the spiritual spring while he was meditating.
Jining felt that although Xiao Lu was becoming more intelligent, she was no longer as well-behaved as before and was acting more arrogantly.
I feel like I can no longer control it, but I haven't figured out any way, so I can only let it go.
One day, Jining was sitting on a smooth rock in the cave as usual. As the secret of longevity was running, traces of cool and refreshing spiritual energy slowly flowed to Dantian along a cycle. Maybe it wasn't tied down by trivial matters, maybe. It is the tranquility in the mountains, gradually entering the state of selflessness, and the consciousness also enters various subtle states.
A "click" appeared in Jining's mind, and the spiritual energy in his body circulated much faster. The spiritual energy naturally ran along the five-level meridians of the Immortality Formula.
After a while, Jining opened his eyes with a trace of confusion and contemplation. Starting from the fourth level of the Secret of Immortality, he found that his five senses were getting sharper and sharper. He could only hear and see farther and subtler sounds and objects, and could smell Some smells that could not be sensed before; but when he broke through to the fifth floor, he found that not only the range of the five senses was wider, but also when he broke through to the fifth floor, Jining felt that the strong mental power seemed to have opened up an inexplicable space in his mind.
This surprised Jining, so he used his mental power to explore this inexplicable space.
"Eh?" Jining took a deep breath and remembered that he had read a Buddhist scripture before. The Buddhist scriptures once described: Those who practice Taoism deeply will form under the Baihui point of the human brain, between the eyebrows, and deep behind the Yintang. Knowledge sea.
Those who are successful in refining Qi nourish it with air temperature every day, and over time, they will form spiritual consciousness. This is a technique of great supernatural power, and it can also release invisible miraculous power.
Is this the sea of consciousness?
As a cultivator who was exploring his own cultivation methods, Jining couldn't find anyone to ask. He could only check his body to see if he felt any discomfort. After a careful inspection, he found that there was no abnormality in his body.
Since there is no abnormality, I don't care about it anymore.
Time flies, Jining has been practicing in the cave for nearly half a year.
Jining was sitting in front of the thatched house today, only to realize that the New Year's Eve was coming soon. Master Mingyu himself went to the back mountain to find Jining, saying that the candidate to replace Jining in the back mountain to see the medicinal fields and vegetable fields had been found, and he hoped that Jining could The handover will be carried out with Jining after the New Year.
Jining thought about it and wasn't too anxious, so he agreed.
It's just that Jining has been a little depressed recently. Now the fifth level of the Immortality Secret has stabilized. However, after Jining broke through the fifth level of Qi Refining, he found that the spiritual energy in the cave was the same as before, and seemed to have become much thinner.
Jining guessed that the aura of heaven and earth in the Immortal Abandoned Land has been basically exhausted. These are the remaining traces of aura of heaven and earth, which are only suitable for low-level monks to practice. Moreover, he has been practicing day and night during this period, and most of the remaining aura of heaven and earth has been absorbed by himself. This cave The spiritual energy of heaven and earth is no longer suitable for cultivating by monks above the fifth level of Qi training, and I feel in my heart the difficulty of pursuing the immortal way in a land abandoned by immortals.
After seeing that the cultivation effect was not good, Jining spent more time back in the thatched cottage, and studied the ancient book annotations in his spare time. Although Jining had studied it carefully several times before, he found that the ancient book annotations were complicated and the study was extremely difficult.
After studying the annotations of ancient books, Jining also gained some understanding of the spells recorded behind the Secret of Immortality, but he only had a superficial understanding, so so far he has only learned an object control technique.
Jining hopes that by studying the annotations of ancient books, he can understand the following content.
Jining was a little surprised and found that since the sea of consciousness opened up in his mind, his mental power has become much stronger, and his understanding and memory have become very powerful. In the past, he could only memorize a rough annotation of ancient books after studying it carefully several times. I actually remembered it all within a few days.
After studying the annotations of ancient books, although there are still many ancient characters in the Secret of Immortality that I don’t understand.
But after the Sea of Consciousness appeared, Jining felt that his understanding was much higher. Although he still didn't know some ancient characters, he could roughly understand them with his understanding.
The following pages of the Secret of Immortality actually introduce how to use the spiritual power of heaven and earth to control immortal spells, and also record several immortal spells. In addition to the object control technique that I have roughly mastered before, there are also several other spells, such as "Sky Eye Technique". "Wall Penetrating Technique", "Invisibility Technique", "Wind Control Technique", etc.
So for the next period of time, Jining meditated at night and practiced magic during the day.
After more than ten days, in addition to becoming proficient in controlling objects with small objects, I have only learned the simple essentials of the Sky Eye Technique and the Wind Control Technique.
The main reason is that these two spells are relatively simple to operate the spiritual power of heaven and earth. The Heavenly Eye Technique is very simple. You only need to inject the spiritual power into the eyes. The Wind Control Technique is to inject the spiritual power into the legs, and then follow the operation method introduced in the Art of Immortality. .
After learning the Heavenly Eye, Jining was a little speechless. He found that this Heavenly Eye technique was a bit useless. It was only used to check the cultivation level of other cultivators. And if the other person's cultivation level was higher than his own, he could not check the other person's cultivation level, and he would be The other party notices.
He learned from the Book of Mountains and Seas that it was a provocation for monks to use magic to observe each other.
The other types of spells just don't work, and after practicing for many days, they still can't get through.
Since other immortal spells could not be learned by him in a short period of time, Jining did not force him.
So he worked hard to practice wind control. He found that wind control was vastly different from the Taoist Qing Gong he originally practiced.
It turns out that it takes almost a day to travel from the thatched cottage to the cave. After the wind control surgery, it only took more than two hours to reach the valley of the cave.
Then a strange figure often appeared in this mountain.
However, the wind control technique consumes a lot of spiritual energy. Jining feels that even with his fifth level of Immortality Technique, he can only use the wind control technique for more than two hours.
The winter in Qilu is still cold. After practicing to the fifth level of the Immortality Art, Jining's body is no longer so sensitive to the cold and warmth of the weather.
The worship ceremony was still held this year, and Master Mingyu also sent someone to call Jining, but Jining no longer wanted to watch.
Jining sat quietly in front of the thatched hut and looked at the distance. The cold wind blew by and failed to interrupt his thoughts.
The winter days are short, the sky has gradually darkened, smoke is curling up in the villages at the foot of the mountain, and occasionally there are a few firecrackers.
Looking at the smoke rising from the kitchen stove, Jining felt a little unreal, and also felt incredible about his experiences in the past few years.
Looking at the village at the foot of the mountain, I feel a little sad. Time flies. It has been almost four years since I arrived at Chaotian Temple, and it has been almost five years since my master left me.
However, I thought that one year after my master left me, I actually entered the path of cultivating immortality that my master dreamed of.
Suddenly, Jining's hand moved slightly, and there was a strange cup of tea in his hand.
Jining stood up and bowed deeply three times in the direction of the Yulong Mountain Range, then poured the tea on the ground and silently said this to the master in his heart.
The New Year has passed. Today, Taoist priest Yunfei brought a young Taoist priest who was similar in age to Jining and said that he was here to replace Jining.
There aren't many things to do when looking at the medicine field in the back mountain. Taoist Master Yun Fei knows many things, so Jining will briefly talk to the little Taoist priest.
Taoist Master Yunfei said that the young Taoist priest would move here tomorrow. In addition, if a Taoist priest leaves the temple, he needs to go to the temple to cancel his membership. Jining nodded.
Although the weather is still cold, the stars are shining brightly in the sky today. There is a bamboo chair in the open space of the thatched house. There is a person lying on the bamboo chair quietly looking at the stars in the sky.
Suddenly a cup of warm tea appeared in his hand. After he took a few sips, the cup of tea flew back to the table in the thatched cottage.
Jining looked at the starry sky and remembered that it had been almost four years since he first came to this thatched cottage. It had also transformed him from an ignorant young man to a fairy in the eyes of mortals. All these experiences made Jining filled with emotion.
Jining looked at the stars in the sky with a trace of reluctance in his eyes. After a moment, his eyes turned into a kind of persistence. Jining saw that it was late at night and he got up and walked back to the thatched house to rest.
