Chapter 68 Asking the Heart with Water
Comparing their respective gains, Lin Bai and Pei Ning had both longing and worries about the future.
According to Song and Zhang, to the west of the Guling Islands, across tens of thousands of miles of sea, there is a large island where the Yunxia Sect is located.
The Golden Turtle Island is located between the Guling Islands and the Yunxia Sect, and is closer to the Guling Islands.
Because Golden Turtle Island is located deep in the sea, with abundant water and vapor, and is rich in the main medicine of a kind of elixir, it was accepted by Yunxia Sect as an enclave.
However, Jin Turtle Island is still a bit desolate, which is not conducive to spiritual practice, so the people guarding it are all hopeless people.
But the Yunxia Sect is very impressive. There are tens of thousands of people who have entered the Taoism, dozens of people who are golden elixirs, and the highest one is the Nascent Soul monk.
Lin Bai and Pei Ning were both pragmatic and cautious. Comparing the two, we found that what they said was mostly similar.
Of course there are some contradictions, but they all involve geography and customs elsewhere, which are related to vision and knowledge.
Moreover, Lin Bai also found a vial from Song Qing, containing two concentric ants.
Lin Bai didn't punish him and just let Song Qing eat a piece of cake.
I chatted with Pei Ning until the afternoon, talking about how bald I was, and then we each finished talking.
"When will you go to Jiuyin Mountain to meet your old friend?" Pei Ning asked casually.
"I don't have the love of Jiuyin Mountain." Lin Bai said immediately.
"What are you ashamed of? When it's cold in the night, don't you want to dream of a goddess?" Peining said with a smile.
"The only goddess I dream about is you." Lin Bai put on a serious face.
"Ha." Peining smiled disdainfully, but her earlobes turned a little red. She turned her head and stopped looking at Lin Bai.
"..." Lin Bai saw her shyness, but he really thought of Sister Zhen in his heart.
According to Song and Zhang, Jiuyin Mountain is another large island thousands of miles away from the Yunxia Sect. Its power is similar to that of the Yunxia Sect, and the two families are not easy to deal with.
Before assassinating Qi Zhen, they heard that he was ambushed by Jiuyin Mountain, so Lin Bai and Pei Ning set up a trap to lure Zhang Han and others to Jiuyin Mountain.
Lin Bai also always thought that Sister Zhen was from Jiuyin Mountain, but now it seems that this is not necessarily the case.
When she got along with Sister Zhen before, she didn't think much of Yunxia Sect. And she also said that her so-called ancestor was an extremely high existence.
The highest one in Jiuyin Mountain and Yunxia Sect is Yuanying. Sister Zhen will soon form an elixir, which is only one level lower than Yuanying. How can this be considered extremely high?
Moreover, Lin Bai's black cicada talisman was actually the deadwood cicada's unique skill, a veteran named "Wood Demon". Many people knew about this.
This old Wood Demon cultivator is a casual cultivator. He has never been involved with Jiuyin Mountain and Yunxia Sect, and his whereabouts are also erratic.
However, Sister Zhen was able to obtain the talisman of the Wood Demon Master, which obviously has a close relationship with the Wood Demon Master.
Lin Bai thought about it for a long time, but couldn't figure out anything, so he could only put it aside for the time being and talk about it later.
After more than an hour, Song Qing and Zhang Han woke up one after another.
Lin Bai and Pei Ning were cautious, fearing that they would collude in confession, so they let them sleep in different places and did not allow them to have private contact.
It was cold in the mountains and forests, and the two of them looked very nervous, and both had runny noses.
After a few polite words, the two people gathered around the fire to keep warm.
Lin Bai was a respectful man, so he immediately took out the cake and handed it to them for fear that they would be hungry.
"Brother Lin, Miss Pei." Song Qing looked very pale, sighed, and said in a low tone, "I'm waiting for you, boss. I really can't eat that cake. Can I have something else?"
"Yes, yes, my teeth are all gone, I really can't bite." Zhang Han also immediately began to plead.
According to what they said, after practicing to build the foundation, they can actually live without food and stop eating the fireworks of the world.
But the two of them suffered from the deadwood cicada, and they were no different from ordinary old people, so they needed to eat and drink to satisfy their hunger.
According to Song and Zhang, it is almost impossible for a person with a deadwood cicada in his body to regain his youth, unless something powerful takes action. And how long you can live depends entirely on fate.
After getting along last night, Lin Bai and Pei Ning also saw that they cherished their lives. After losing his magical power, it seemed as if even his backbone had been taken away, and his spine was very soft.
"It's my fault, please wait a moment." Lin Bai apologized seriously, and then asked Pei Ning to hunt a deer.
Peel, clean, and roast over fire.
Taking advantage of this time, Lin Bai took out Song and Zhang's storage rings.
Let’s start with Zhang Han’s storage ring and take it out one by one.
There are not many good things, just a few bottles of elixirs, a few talismans, some spiritual stones, and a long sword with slightly cold tentacles.
Seeing that there were no women's clothes such as bellybands, Lin Bai and Pei Ning nodded slightly to Zhang Han, expressing their approval.
Zhang Han didn't know why and thought he had done something to offend the two evil stars again, so he quickly explained the purpose of the elixir and talisman.
When he said that his mouth was dry, Lin Bai and Pei Ning specially praised him.
Then there is Song Qing’s storage ring.
Song Qing was indeed Jin Dan's beloved disciple, and he had a lot of treasures in his possession.
Three stacks of talismans, each with its own purpose. There are also five Taoist robes of different styles, with a warm and cool texture that seems to contain water.
The two crescent stones are ordinary objects.
There are twelve elixir bottles of various colors with different uses. It restores blood and replenishes qi, and also increases the food intake of Tongxin ants. There is also a flying boat, which should be the most valuable. It is about the same size as an ordinary boat, and can accommodate about two or three people.
There is also a bladeless sword, which is heavy in hand and has fine wave patterns on its body.
Lin Bai waved his sword, and there was a slight moist feeling on the stage, like a mountain stream running through it.
"I am not strong enough. If Immortal Song comes to envoy me, I will be like a great river." Lin Bai praised.
"..." Song Qing remained silent, just staring at the sword in Lin Bai's hand, and there were tears in his muddy eyes on his withered face.
I don't know if it was because of the sword that made me sad, or because I regretted that I didn't directly cut off the heads of Lin and Pei with the sword.
Lin Bai put away his sword and took out more than a dozen books.
Let’s take a look at the book with the shabbiest cover first. It’s called Qingjing Sanren’s Journey to the North. After flipping through it, it turned out to be Fengyue Xianshu.
"Pure San people are not pure, do you immortal masters also see these things?" Lin Bai asked in surprise.
Song Qing calmed down and said: "It is difficult for those who have entered the Tao to escape from lust, not to mention that most people have no hope of the Tao, so they will naturally find some idle things to do. I... I use it for tasting occasionally."
< br>
"How can you achieve the great path if you are addicted to lust? This book is the reason why you are what you are today." Lin Bai said the truth with disdain. He was about to put the book away when he saw Pei Ning sneering. He quickly threw the book into the fire.
Then I flipped through the remaining books, most of which were miscellaneous notes on customs and some personal reflections.
At the end of the page, there are only two books that can be called secrets. One book is called "Water Elements Asking the Heart Jue", which is a type of magic technique; the other book is "Shui Xing Sen Chapter", which is a method of practicing Taoism.
The former is technique and the latter is Tao. Both are related to water and should be passed down from Qu Chengjia.
Tao is the foundation of the art, and the Ruyi Jingxin Jue practiced by Lin Bai is the Tao, which is related to the improvement of the realm in the future.
The law of magic is that as the realm improves, its power and mystery become more apparent.
Dao is like a person, and art is like a sword. A person needs to be able to hold the sword in order to make the sword more powerful; the stronger the person, the more powerful the sword will be. Of course, the sword must be a good one, and one must not be too stupid. This is probably what Lin Bai knew from Song and Zhang.
The chapter on Yingshui Sensation was thrown to Pei Ning, while he looked through the Water Element Questioning Heart Technique.
This Water Element Questioning Heart Technique is a numerology technique, which talks about using water as a mirror to clearly understand one's own mind.
Pei Ning took the chapter on Yingshui Induction, flipped through it a little, and then asked: "Can I practice this method of entering the Tao?"
"Is there anything that can be repaired? It's just..." Song Qing hesitated a little and saw Pei Ning frown. He was so frightened that sweat broke out on his forehead, and he quickly said: "Of course it can be repaired, everyone can. It’s just that the qualifications are different, and the difficulty of cultivation is different.”
"Please speak." Pei Ning pressed his sword and looked at Zhang Han.
Zhang Han was not stupid at all. He quickly stood up, saluted Lin Bai and Pei Ning, and then walked away.
When Song Qing saw Zhang Han walking away, he said, "This is about destiny."
Lin Bai and Peining didn't talk to each other, they just listened.
"If the Tao you practice is consistent with your destiny, you will get twice the result with half the effort."
Song Qing did not dare to hide it. He looked at Lin Bai and said very seriously: "Just like your sister, her destiny is Yuan Tan Yueying. Master once said that her destiny is deep and endless, and the moon and shadow reflect each other and can change. She is the most suitable for cultivation. She is a master of water skills and numerology, and can also practice psychedelic techniques. This is why Master likes her. Your sister is more suitable to inherit Master’s legacy than Junior Sister Ruyi and I.”
"You mean, it's best to have water in your life?" Lin Bai asked with a smile.
"That's right, Brother Lin is really smart, far better than me!" Song Qing immediately praised, and then said: "Just like me, my destiny is the water of a big river, with the meaning of rushing waves, so water-based exercises are the best. Therefore, Master taught me how to practice the Art of Inspiring Water and the Art of Asking the Heart about Water, which resonates with me and I can learn it the fastest. However, I should actually learn the method of fighting, and I can’t go very far in the study of numerology.”
"So, I'm not suitable for practicing the Yingshui Induction Chapter?" Peining asked curiously.
"This... can of course be repaired." Song Qing immediately looked at Peining, more respectfully than he was towards Lin Bai, and glanced at the sword in Peining's hand. He quickly said: "But again, If you have water in your natal life, it will be close to the water spiritual energy, so it is most suitable to practice the water induction chapter, and it will improve the fastest. ”
"What is my destiny?" Peining asked again. She had let Lin Bai see it before, but Lin Bai's realm was too low to see it at all.
"I don't know about this. I didn't see it before, and I can't see it now..." Song Qing said with a bitter look on his face, very pitiful, "But the master once saw Pei Nuxia's destiny, and was quite unhappy. He wanted to come with Shui It has nothing to do with it, and it is not suitable for studying numerology.”
"That means it's better to practice Ruyi Jingxin Jue?" Lin Bai asked.
"That's right." Song Qing immediately nodded and said: "The Ruyi Jingxin Jue is not unique to our sect, but was passed down from the Xuanqing sect in the past. It is not superior, but everyone can learn it, regardless of their natal attributes. . And it has the effect of meditation, and most of the casual practitioners without sects use it as the basis."
This Xuanqing sect is a giant in this world, with a large number of high-level practitioners. Lin Bai and Pei Ning heard from Song and Zhang.
"Then I can't practice the Water Element Questioning Heart Technique?" Lin Bai was very curious about the numerology, and wanted to learn some skills to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune, so that he could be more stable in the future.
"As I said again, if you can cultivate, you can certainly cultivate, but it will probably take half the effort with half the effort, and you may not even be able to get in." Song Qingku laughed bitterly, "But there is no absolute, just like some people can never understand the true meaning of swordsmanship. But you are good at refining alchemy and making talismans. This kind of thing also depends on your understanding. However, the road to the road is difficult, and it is not worth wasting time on a technique that has no results.”
He had white hair and one arm and kept explaining. Lin Bai and Pei Ning listened carefully, as if a teacher was instructing his disciples.
"Thank you, Immortal Master Song, for clarifying my doubts." Lin Bai thanked him with his hands.
"Don't dare." Song Qing was very obedient.
Lin Bai and Pei Ning didn't completely believe what he said, so they asked Zhang Han again. When they saw that what he said was similar, they agreed.
When the venison was roasted, Lin Bai gave each of them a throwing knife to cut and eat the meat.
Lin Bai took the Water Element Questioning Art, looked at it carefully, and then asked Song Qing, who was eating meat, for advice.
Song Qingzhi said everything, and Lin Bai couldn't tell whether his words were true or false, so he listened for the time being.
Lin Bai thought that there was indeed no water in his life, but he could create water, but he didn't know if it would work.
