Chapter 23 Getting Started
The eighth one. Tang Ning looked at the handsome young man walking in the distance and thought to herself, the wooden sign in his hand with the word "gan" all lit up. He came here three days ago, together with Mu Pingbo.
This place is no different from anywhere else. There are towering ancient trees everywhere and surrounded by mist, no, miasma.
At this moment, seven or eight boys and girls were sitting cross-legged in various corners, either alone or in pairs, keeping a certain distance from each other.
It's him. Mu Pingbo whispered.
"you know?"
"The beloved son of Princess Pingyang, Chu De."
"You said someone would come to take us into the Immortal Sect on July 15th. What day is June today?"
"Don't worry, just wait!"
After more than ten days, the other two people also arrived. At this time, the ten people were faintly divided into three groups. Chu De, the beloved son of Princess Pingyang, joined Tang Ning and Mu Pingbo. The other group was composed of two men. One woman, and another group of two men and two women.
In such an unknown environment, people will naturally form a group. Although Tang Ning, Mu Pingbo, and Chu Deping have never met before, and their statuses are very different, the three of them are from Chu State, their hometown. The feeling here seems very cordial.
Several others are from Qi and Wu.
The three of them acted together, occasionally catching a few scorpions or snakes to improve their food.
On this day, a person suddenly appeared out of thin air in front of everyone. Yes, he appeared out of thin air. Without any warning, the person appeared right there. He was dressed in a simple green dress with two white clouds on it, like a living creature. It was swimming around on the clothes, sometimes reaching the back, and sometimes reaching the chest.
Without saying a word, the man flipped his right hand and threw it upward. A huge fan appeared in the air. The man stood on the fan and waved his hand. Everyone felt an irresistible force pulling them, and their bodies could not help but move. Floating upwards, the power did not disappear until everyone landed on the fan.
Is this the trick of the immortal family? It captures people from the air. Everyone is scared and surprised, and everyone is excited.
The man flipped his left hand and a yellow talisman appeared on his hand. He threw it forward and the talisman disappeared.
After a while, the fan flew forward, and it felt as if it had passed through a layer of water curtain. Suddenly, another world opened up before my eyes.
The majestic fairy mountains and peaks are endless, standing in the clouds and mist. Facing the golden glow, you can see many fairy temples floating in the air.
There are several cranes drinking water in the mountain streams, and several stone apes climbing on the cliffs. On the lake, the setting clouds and solitary swans fly together, pavilions, waterfalls and pavilions are filled with fairy spirit.
There is a door not far ahead, about a thousand feet high, with golden light flowing all over it. On the door are engraved three large characters, Qian Yizong.
What a fairy-like style.
Tang Ning turned around and saw that the end of the fan passed through the "water curtain" and layers of "water waves" rippled in the air.
The man sent a few people to a short mountain peak and turned into a ray of light before leaving without saying a word.
Everyone looked at each other, and no one dared to ask a question just now. Fortunately, a fat Taoist came after a while. Like the silent man, he was dressed in green clothes with two white clouds on his clothes.
The fat Taoist came to the crowd and stretched out his hand: "Give me the house number on your body."
Everyone did not dare to disobey and handed the wooden signs to him one after another.
He flipped his right hand and the house number disappeared. A red and blue stone appeared in his hand, pointing at Tangning: "Come here."
When Tang Ning saw him pointing at her, she couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. She walked over obediently. The fat Taoist held his hand and scratched his palm. A cut immediately appeared on Tang Ning's palm, and blood flowed out.
"Hold it." The fat Taoist handed the stone to Tang Ning. Tang Ning held the stone as instructed. The originally red and blue stone gave off a faint light.
"What's your name? How old are you this year? Where are you from?" The fat Taoist asked as he took out a bamboo slip.
Tangning answered one by one.
"Okay, next one."
Everyone followed suit. After asking the last person, the fat Taoist took out a piece of talisman and pasted it on the bamboo slip. He threw it forward and the talisman disappeared with the bamboo slip.
"My name is Mo Ruting. We may be brothers in the future, but not now. You can call me Master Mo, and I will guide your practice from now on."
"This stone is called the Immortal Testing Stone. Its function is to test whether you have spiritual roots and spiritual root qualifications. If you can light up the Qianyi Sect's door plate and come here, it means that you are all people with spiritual roots. As for your qualifications, we will wait for you." You will naturally know it after you successfully transform into the mortal world."
Mo Ruting took out a few wooden signs and distributed them to everyone: "This is your room number. Follow this number to find your room. There are clothes specially prepared for you. That's it for today! I'll be here tomorrow at Chenshi. gather."
"You can walk around this mountain as you like after changing your clothes, but don't run too far. The room is over there."
?Everyone followed the direction he pointed and found their own rooms.
Tangning opened the door. The room was not big, but clean and bright. There was a set of dark clothes on the bedside, and a small bottle on the table.
He put on his clothes, picked up the bottle and looked at it. There was a small note on the bottle: Bigu Pill, one pill can keep you from being hungry for three days, don't eat too much.
Tang Ning opened the bottle cap and poured all the elixirs inside into her hands. There were thirty black round pills in total. She took a sniff and found that there was no special smell. It felt like ordinary pills in the drugstore.
He tasted one out of curiosity. Before he could taste it carefully, the pill melted in his mouth and went into his stomach down his throat. Tangning lay on the bed and remembered how similar it was to the training place in front of the caravan.
I don’t know if Ruru is here. After personally experiencing the immortal’s methods, I remembered the scene when she flew onto the bow of the ship that day.
She probably couldn’t help herself!
Tangning closed his eyes and recalled the scene of corpses littering the village. Originally, he wanted to join the Qianyi Sect, but he had no other options. When he gave up and just wanted to live his own life in peace, another unexpected coincidence happened. Coming down here, I have to say that fate can be so funny sometimes, and this may just be the beginning.
After spending a day in the room, early the next morning, he and everyone went to the place designated by Mo Ruting. After waiting for a long time, Mo Ruting came with a big belly.
"I say I am guiding you in your practice, but I am not so free, because I also have to practice myself. From now on, I will only come four times a month, on the first, tenth, fifteenth and thirtieth day of the lunar month. If you don't understand anything, If you are confused, you can ask me on those days."
Mo Ruting put his hands behind his hands and said: "Because you have not transformed yet and are not formal disciples, the sect's rules will not be told to you. You can walk around this mountain as you like, but only within this mountain. What is there now?" If you don’t know, just ask.”
"What is metamorphosis?" asked a young man
"Good question, metamorphosis means shedding the mortal body. Only after transformation can a person practice and absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Practicing privately before metamorphosis can easily lead to the devil and the destruction of the soul, because after the body absorbs the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, it will
If you can't bear it, the spiritual energy of these heavens and earth is restless. After entering the body, your whole body will jump up and down. If you can't bear it, your body will explode and die."
"When can we transform into mortals?" another person asked.
"It's not possible now. Your skeletal meridians have not yet been completely formed, and they cannot withstand the pressure on your body during transformation. At least you have to wait until your bones are finalized and no longer change."
"How do I finalize my skeleton? After I transform from mortal life, will I be able to learn magic like you and go to heaven and earth?"
"Ordinary people usually reach the age of eighteen when their bones are finalized. Those who have practiced can do so a few years earlier. As for what happens after the transformation, we will talk about it later. I only care about your practice before transformation."
"What will happen if the transformation fails?" Tangning asked in a low voice.
Mo Ruting glanced at him, with a half-smile on his face: "You can only succeed, not fail. If you fail, you will die."
Everyone's faces turned pale.
"I just said that the body needs to withstand a lot of pressure when transforming into a mortal. If it cannot bear it, the bones and meridians of the whole body will be crushed. There is no clear time limit for transforming into a mortal. There is a mortal transformation pool in the sect. What do you think?
Just go and tell me, everyone has another chance, and there is only one chance. If you succeed, you will enter the immortal gate and walk on the road, if you fail, you will die."
"Yesterday when we entered the sect, it felt like we passed through a curtain of water. Why?"
"That's the barrier of the mountain-protecting formation. It's a little trick. You can't see it through with your naked eyes. You'll know it after you actually practice. The mountain-protecting formation is the sect's biggest support, used to prevent outsiders from attacking the mountain."
"Does anyone else have anything to ask? If not, just listen to me." After waiting for a while and seeing that no one asked any more questions, Mo Ruting took out a few books and said, "This is a simplified version of the Qianyi Sect's Taoist Basics. It contains methods for cultivating the mind."
, of course, mainly the method of meditating, breathing and breathing, and the method of guiding Qi.”
"Whether you are a peerless genius or an idiot, you must start from the foundation of Taoism. This is the foundation of all cultivation."
"The so-called practice is to breathe in the energy of heaven and earth, improve one's own physique, and then control the power between heaven and earth step by step."
“Through meditating, breathing, breathing and guiding qi to strengthen one’s physique, and then transforming the body through transformation, inhaling the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for one’s own use, and mastering the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, to achieve freedom and longevity, which is the purpose of practice.”
"Cultivation is personal. You should understand it yourself. If you don't understand, come and ask me." Mo Ruting distributed the book to everyone: "Did you see the stone altar over there? There are three hundred steps in total, which are specially designed for you to transform from ordinary life to practice.
For every ten steps you go up, the pressure will double."
"There is also that waterfall over there. The water in the pool is freezing cold. You can also go to practice under the waterfall. It will also be of great help to you in improving your physique."
"You must practice this set of bone-forging boxing frequently, it will also be of great benefit to you in strengthening your physique." Mo Ruting took out several more books and handed them to everyone one by one.
Now you guys watch it, I will only demonstrate it once, so you can see it clearly. If you ask me to demonstrate again in the future, I will not pay attention. After Mo Ruting said that, he punched and kicked him. After about half an hour, he finished the attack.
"If there's nothing else, just go and practice on your own! Remember, practice well and don't make trouble, or I'll throw you off the mountain."
"Master Mo Xian." Seeing that he was about to leave, Tang Ning hurriedly shouted.
"What's up?"
"Do you know a person named Liu Ruhan? He is about the same age as me. He is mute and came here half a year ago." Tangning asked in a low voice.
