Thank you yangzhigang and Master Phoenix for your daily rewards!
There are still two hundred miles from Jinchuanwei to Ye Xueguan. Although the official road is gentle, for Tong Lao and others with advanced cultivation, it takes many unnecessary detours. Therefore, Tong Lao still chooses shortcuts and trails as much as possible. Climbing over mountains and ridges was no problem, even the ravines and cliffs couldn't stop them.
Without the burden of the Hu family, the group of people walked a little faster. As usual, Mr. Tong walked at the front, paving roads through mountains and building bridges across rivers. Zhao Ran recalled that when he first met Chu Yangcheng, he was carried on the shoulders of the Great Master Chu to cross the water. He couldn't help asking Qi Gu why he had to walk on the ground like a mortal during this trip - in fact, he was just I want to experience the thrill and excitement again.
Zhu Qigu¡¯s explanation is very simple. Since you have legs to move around, why do you need to consume mana? Riding a horse (actually a horse, a donkey, or a deer) is not much slower. Even if you are a Taoist, if there is nothing urgent, you are not willing to waste your energy and energy on the road. Such a way of walking is really tiring. Then she added an explanation, saying that this kind of knowledge is not suitable for some weird people, such as the fourth senior brother who followed behind.
Zhu Qigu especially taught Zhao Ran that this place is no longer a safe place and he must be prepared for a fight at all times. No matter which way you play, you must keep in mind that you must save mana consumption as much as possible. Even a small accumulation of mana may be the key to victory.
Zhao Ran was taught respectfully and then declared that he could not fight. Zhu Qigu glared at him fiercely and said with a straight face, "How can my brother not know how to fight?" If you tell me, it will bring shame on me, Zhu Qigu!
Zhao Ran said innocently that he had no bones and could not store a trace of mana in his body. If he fought with a Taoist, he would be reduced to slag in an instant.
Zhu Qigu looked at Zhao Ran with disdain and said that as long as you have the courage and determination to fight, even ordinary people can trick a Taoist monk into crying for his father and mother. What's more, although you, Zhao Ran, have no foundation, you have the qualifications. You don't even know how to fight, why don't I turn you into a scumbag first, so that you don't have to embarrass me in the future.
The four of them headed towards Ye Xueguan. Although the journey was through barren mountains and remote areas, they encountered several mountain patrols arranged by the Taoist sect. Among them were well-established monks and various types of casual cultivators attached to the Taoist sect. Generally speaking, this place is still within the jurisdiction controlled by the Taoist sect. For example, it is quite rare to encounter a Buddhist demon monk who cuts off the road halfway on Jinghuguan North Road.
That night, they still found a sheltered cave to rest. Zhu Qigu sent Mr. Tong and the fourth senior brother to find some game to fill their stomachs. The fourth senior brother remained cool and motionless, with the whites of his eyes rolled up to the sky, not even looking at Zhu Qigu, while Mr. Tong said quite depressedly. He obeyed and returned before nightfall, carrying a wild goat.
Even before leaving Jinghu Pass, Zhao Ran took the initiative to take on the task of grilling game. He worked in the Wujiyuan vegetable room for half a year, and his skills were very good. The small bamboo box behind him also had enough seasonings. Every time the barbecue came out, The game is very delicious, which makes the children and elders eager to eat. Every time they have a full meal to satisfy their appetite.
Although Tong Lao and the others are all Taoists and have gradually entered the realm of fasting, practicing Taoism is actually not inconsistent with eating and drinking. The difference between before and after fasting is just the length of time to endure hunger and thirst. That¡¯s all.
According to Zhu Qigu¡¯s explanation, bigu is complementary to the longer and longer retreats in the later stages of cultivation. The so-called non-eating of human beings is more due to the change of the way of eating during retreat practice. What is ¡°eated¡± is actually the world between heaven and earth. "Yuan Qi", in essence, is no different from ordinary food. Both can be converted into mana. It's just that one conversion is more efficient, while the other is much rougher.
Zhao Ran roasted the wild goat, and the browned skin made people salivate. The aroma of the meat soon filled the cave. Not only Zhu Qigu and Tong Lao were already sitting there waiting eagerly, but they also got a lot of it in the past two days. Guang's fourth senior brother also gathered around.
Zhu Qigu said coldly: "Those who have not contributed will not be fed!"
The fourth senior brother retorted: "Could this goat be brought by my junior sister?"
Zhu Qigu stared at him and said, "My little brother's roasted goat, if I can't eat it, who can eat it?"
Seeing the two people arguing, Zhao Ran quickly smoothed things over: "We are all from the same family, we don't talk about two families." As he said this, he moved the bonfire away and stepped forward to cut the meat: "The two front legs are the most delicate, of course they belong to my sister. Well, this hind leg is fat but not greasy. It belongs to the senior brother. Senior brother has worked hard on hunting This hind leg is left to the fourth senior brother. The fourth senior brother killed the monster monk with one sword, so he must reward him for his hard work"
Zhao Ran decided to divide the meat, and Zhu Qigu did not object anymore. She just stared at the fourth senior brother and said, "Thank you, little brother."
The fourth senior brother didn¡¯t say a word of thanks. He just took the leg of lamb and walked to the entrance of the cave. While looking at the stars that were getting brighter, he ate steadily, leaving only one for Zhu Qigu.??The back of the head.
Looking at Mr. Tong again, he had almost eaten half of a leg of lamb.
After dinner, Mr. Tong took a few sips of wine from his gourd mouth, found a corner with a red nose and fell asleep, snoring loudly. The fourth senior brother held the big sword in his arms and leaned against the entrance of the cave motionless, unaware. Did she fall asleep? Zhu Qigu was sitting by the campfire, talking to Zhao Ran.
Zhao Ran was very curious and asked Zhu Qigu: "Sister, how much wine is in the gourd, senior brother? Why haven't you finished drinking it all the way?"
Zhu Qigu chuckled and said, "His gourd is a treasure. I can't tell how many items it can hold. I've known her for almost twenty years and I've never seen her fill it up before."
Zhao Ran was speechless secretly. He was waiting to ask more details when he heard Zhu Qigu say: "Brother, I think that although you have no foundation, you are highly qualified. My senior brother said that I would just throw you a simple meditation in the Taoist sect." You quickly understood and mastered the Dharma, and he praised it very much. I have carefully calculated it for you these days. The Taoist martial arts will never change without departing from its origin, but it still needs to be backed by magical power. Under your conditions, I still have It cannot be touched. If you want to have the power to protect yourself, you can only start with the formation."
After a pause, Zhu Qigu continued: "I am not good at formations, and I have never dabbled in the art of weapon refining, and I don't know how to give you some advice. I want to give you a magical weapon to protect yourself, but you can't use it Come to think of it. I want to go, but I want to tell you some methods and techniques for fighting the enemy. I hope it can help you with the formation. I heard from senior brother that you once helped the two Taoist sects in Huayun Pavilion to get rid of them. Demon, Huayun Pavilion will give you a set of formation disks as a reward?"
Zhao Ran nodded: "That day, Uncle Da Zhuo and Uncle Xiao Zhuo were chasing a raccoon spirit that had not yet matured. I was there to help, and controlled the formation to trap the enemy. The main reason why Uncle Da Zhuo and Uncle Xiao Zhuo were able to do their best was because of their high magical power. , and the set of magic weapons used to set up the formation also belong to the two master uncles, I am just copying a cat and imitating a tiger."
He took off the bag hanging on his chest and took out the set of small formation disks inside. The palm-sized formation hub compass, the three-inch small gold sword, the square wooden ruler, a string of mercury beads, and a jade seal were all placed in front of Zhu Qigu. Of course, the "Compilation of the Five Elements Divine Formation" is also indispensable.
Zhu Qigu picked it up at random, frowned slightly and said: "It's too crude - the materials are ordinary, and the formation cloud pattern has only been refined for one layer. Huayun Pavilion is stingy! But it's better than nothing. , just use your formation as the main one, and I will tell you how to deal with the enemy."
Zhao Ran was so happy that he quickly sat upright and listened attentively.
Zhu Qigu said: "There are twenty-five kinds of formation transformations in your "Compilation of Five Elements Divine Formation". I just looked through it. They are all the most superficial five elements formations. But although they are superficial, they are exactly the five elements formations." The foundation of the Dharma, Huayun Pavilion gives you this formation book, and it is well worth it. As long as you study these twenty-five formations thoroughly, and then practice the more difficult Five Elements formations in the future, you can get twice the result with half the effort, and even It is also much easier to practice the formations of Three Talents, Four Symbols, Liuhe, Seven Stars, Bagua, Nine Palaces, etc. But how can you be considered proficient? Have you memorized them?"
Zhao Ran nodded: "I have recited the entire article countless times, but I keep it all in my heart."
Zhu Qigu said: "Then have you demonstrated all the twenty-five formations?"
Zhao Ran said: "I have demonstrated it all, and the operation of each formation is fine. It took me a lot of hard work." It has been less than half a year since he obtained the formation book and formation plate. If it were not for his super memory and understanding of the movement of heaven and earth qi " "Visibility" ability, it is not easy to achieve this step. Therefore, when he said this, he was somewhat showing off in it, but it was a pity that Zhu Qigu did not hear it at all - for Zhu Qigu, this achievement Nothing at all.
Zhu Qigu said: "Okay, you can demonstrate it to me here."
