Tian Yuan Xian Ji

Chapter 34 Bottleneck
Tangning did not go to the low mountain again, but returned to the herb garden and lay down on the bamboo bed.

What happened today, he was deeply moved, Wei Jinwen was indeed dead, he exploded and died, leaving only a lump of broken flesh in the cave.

A Dzogchen monk in the qi refining period just died like this, and he couldn't help but wonder whether his practice is still meaningful, what have he been doing all these years?
It took six years to go through the gate of hell, and finally succeeded in becoming a mortal. It took two years of mediocre here to refine the second floor of Qi.

The tenth floor of Qi Refining was an unreachable mountain to him, but just now, he saw a mountain collapse with his own eyes, leaving nothing left.

From the very beginning, his purpose of going up the mountain was to find Liu Ruhan and bring her back, but now, he was trapped here, unable to even get out of the mountain gate, he was a little scared, afraid that he would end up here in such a muddle.

He couldn't see any hope and was very depressed. On the one hand, he felt that he was wasting his time, and on the other hand, he felt that he was ignorant compared to others. He didn't know anything about those formations and spiritual tools.

Time flies like a white horse, and it is another five years in a flash.

Tang Ning was sitting in a dark corner, holding an ancient book in her hand, without turning her eyes.After a long time, he closed the ancient book and put it back in its original place, and picked up another scroll casually.

When he walked out of the library, the sky was already white, and he returned to the herb garden. After finishing the daily fertilization and nourishment work for the herbs, he lay on the bamboo bed and fell asleep.

He has not practiced qi refining for two years, and there is no other reason, and he has encountered a bottleneck.

Since he realized it two years ago, he has not continued to practice meaninglessly. Apart from watering and fertilizing the herbs every day, he just wandered around, and occasionally went to the library to sit and stay for a whole day.

Even though he had heard about the hurdle of the bottleneck in practice countless times before, and heard various examples of breaking through the bottleneck from many people's mouths and books, he was still at a loss.

This feeling is amazing, how can I say it!He is full of energy, the aura in his body is abundant, and the aura runs very smoothly. On the surface, there seems to be no problem, and outsiders can't detect any abnormalities.

But he always felt that something was blocking his body, and it was inaccurate to say that, and it was difficult to describe in words.

If you have to say it, it's like the water in the tank is full, but the water can't overflow when the tank is full.

In the past two years, he did nothing, just sleeping, reading, and caring for medicinal herbs, and writing a dossier report every year to submit to the department, detailing the details of the past year, including the care of the herb garden and the number of medicinal herbs. , survival rate, etc.

He has been here for seven years, and he must write a dossier report at the end of each year. He has written seven copies so far, recording everything he has done in the past seven years.

It is worth mentioning that the Zongmen Xiaobi a year ago was a rare event in the Zongmen. He watched all the competitions and was envious of the magical powers that the disciples displayed, and occasionally participated in their competitions.

…………

When he woke up, the scorching sun was rising. Tangning stretched his waist and walked out of the bamboo hut. After thinking for a while, he drove the purple gold gourd and headed east. After flying for a long time, he stopped on a low mountain peak. A mountain peak dedicated to the practice of non-transformed disciples.

Strange to say, every mountain in the Ganyizong Mountain Gate has its name, but this mountain alone does not have it. Perhaps in the eyes of those high-ranking sects, those who have not been transformed can not be regarded as disciples in the sect, and this mountain is not worthy of being a leader. Yizong's fairy mountain!
Just like many disciples in the sect look down on mortals, they are inferior species in their eyes, not much different from animals, and they have long forgotten that they were originally mortals.

Some people privately named this mountain, called Hualong Peak, and when they walked out from this mountain, they took the Nine Heavens and Hualong.

"Tang Immortal Master, Tang Immortal Master." The untransformed disciples stopped and saluted him when they saw him.

In the past two years, he has been running here when he has nothing to do. He is more diligent than the disciples from the Academic Affairs Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Sometimes he stays for a day, and people here know him.

The people in the Academic Affairs Department also joked that it would be fine to let him apply for transfer to the Academic Affairs Department. With his love and dedication, it is not an exaggeration to judge him as an excellent student.

Tangning was lying on the green grassy hillside, watching the clouds surging in the sky, he didn't miss this mountain, he just liked the clouds here, every time he came here, his heart was at peace, without any restraint or pressure of cultivation. , as if he was just a passerby watching the scenery.

"Chirp, chirp." Not far away, a pure white flying goose kept hovering in the sky, singing sadly. It flew around the mountain peak twice, and suddenly bumped into a cliff, spilling blood on the rock wall. The body fell straight.

"Ah!" There was a scream, and a little girl ran forward, caressing the wings of the white goose, her eyes were full of tears, and the fruit in her hand fell to the ground.

Tangning looked surprised, why did this bird commit suicide, so he walked forward.

The little girl was about ten years old, petite and frail, caressing the dead body of the white goose, crying pear blossoms with rain, she felt pity when she saw it.

"What's wrong with this goose? It looks like it deliberately crashed into a cliff to seek death." Tangning asked softly while standing behind her

When the little girl turned her head and saw that it was Tangning, she exclaimed, "Ah! Immortal Master Tang."

She hastily wiped her tears, stood up, lowered her head and clasped the corners of her clothes with both hands.

The little girl had delicate features, eyebrows like willow leaves, and clear eyes. Standing there with timid clothes, it was as if Tangning forced her.

"Why did this wild goose find its own way out?" Tangning asked again

"It, it." The little girl said with tears streaming out of her eyes: "Its mate was stewed and eaten by some senior brothers with stones. I was afraid that it would be sad, so I went to pick some fruits for it to eat, but I didn't expect..."

"They were raised by my father, and it's my fault that I brought them here to accompany me, if it wasn't for..."

After hearing this, Tangning's screams and its final figure rushing towards the cliff came to her mind, and her heart was shocked.

Ask what love is in the world, and directly teach life and death.

There are two flying passengers from the north to the south, and the old wings return to the cold and heat a few times.

Have fun, parting hard, you will be more idiots.

You should have something to say, there are thousands of miles of stratus clouds, thousands of mountains and snow at dusk, who is only shadowed.

This was a poem written by an unknown poet, and it was widely circulated in the world. Tangning looked at the white goose in a daze, and unconsciously chanted it.

He seemed to be in a vast ocean. A stone fell, causing ripples on the surface of the sea. The ripples became bigger and bigger, and the calm sea began to stir, causing waves to turn into stormy waves.

Tangning stood on the surface of the sea and remained motionless despite the wind and waves in the storm.

The picture of the white goose before it was alive appeared again and again in his mind, its mournful cry and its figure rushing to the cliff to make a decision. After an unknown period of time, the sea returned to calm.

At this moment, his heart is clear, and the aura in his body circulates slowly, quickly spreading all over his body, breaking through the bottleneck of the third level of refining qi, and reaching the fourth level of refining qi.

Once the bottleneck that had plagued her for two years was broken, Tangning didn't feel any joy in her heart. He walked forward, squatted down, and paved a hole in the grass with his hands, "Bury it!"

"Tang Immortal Master, here, I can do all these, don't bother you." The little girl said hurriedly after a daze

"It's okay." Tangning was already at the fourth level of Qi Refining, so digging a hole was a piece of cake. With spiritual power wrapped around her hands, a big hole was dug out in a short while.

He put the body of the white goose in, thought for a while and said, "Let's find the feathered skeleton of another female goose! Bury them together."

"Yes, but..." The little girl hesitated.
"Let's go! It's okay, you just need to find those people and get the bones back."

The two came to the student's residence, and the little girl quickly found those people, who were three and a half children.

Seeing Tangning, they were a little nervous and stood there helplessly.

"You guys ate that white goose?" Tangning asked

Hearing this, the three of them became even more nervous, their faces ashen.

"Yes, yes, sorry, we don't know," explained a child with his head down
Tangning interrupted him with a wave of her hand, "I'm not here to pursue responsibility, and I don't have the right to do so. I just want to ask you something, where did you throw the feather of that white goose and the leftover bones you ate?"

"Buried under an old locust tree." Another person replied in a low voice

"take me."

Together with them, Tangning went under the old locust tree and dug out the feathers and leftover bones, and took the little girl back to the grass to bury the feathers and bones.

"Master Tang Xian, thank you very much." The little girl said suddenly
Tangning smiled, and the purple gold gourd rose slowly, heading towards the herb garden. The little girl on the grass was still watching him.

Back in the herb garden, Tang Ning sat cross-legged on the bamboo bed and practiced according to the Taoist scriptures. He hadn't practiced for two years. This accidental breakthrough not only gave him hope, but also gave him confidence. Will be stuck in this third layer of bottlenecks.

Now, he has to redouble his efforts to cultivate, strive to build a foundation as soon as possible, and then go down the mountain to find Liu Ruhan. The Bai Yan who died in love gave him a great shock.

The spiritual energy circulated around him, and suddenly, he found that the green gas that had been hovering in his Linghai cave was about to move.

Tangning was shocked. She had to know that this green gas had been in his body since he became a mortal, and it also shared his spiritual power. It had been like a pool of dead things for the past seven years. movement
Could it be because of breaking through the third floor?he thought to himself, trying to drive the green gas
Driven by his divine sense, the green gas started to move and moved slowly around his body.

Both the green gas and the refined aura circulated around his body, but they were totally incompatible and distinct.

Even if his divine sense drives the refined aura in his body to surround the green gas, the two auras are entangled together, but they are still incompatible with each other.

Tangning carefully observed the operation of the green gas and found no other problems, but he was certain that he could control it.

What is this green gas?Feeling and refining aura are not the same thing, but it can absorb refining aura, indicating that it should have some kind of effect of aura.

Thinking of this, his heart moved and he had an idea.
