I'm looking for longevity in Liaozhai

Chapter 59
Wang Zhe was very happy. After tidying up a little, this is the place for him to practice.

The consciousness swept around, and there were inevitably some snakes and insects in the cave.
Wang Zhe's aura emanated all of a sudden, and a strong coercion enveloped the entire cave, and all the snakes and insects in the cave escaped immediately.

They perceive terrible danger and flee quickly, which is the instinctive reaction of animals in nature.

"This is mine now, go find another place."

Clean up here, the sky outside has darkened.

Sitting on the top of the mountain, Wang Zhe looked at the sky and felt the gentle mountain breeze, feeling unspeakably comfortable.

"Now you can practice with confidence and don't have to be wary of anything."

Put the "Inner Alchemy" of Qingjiao in your mouth, and practice overnight until dawn.

The next day, he took out a few pre-drawn "Spirit Gathering Talismans".

go,
The talisman flew out and landed on the surrounding rocks. After being urged, not long after, the spiritual energy in the surrounding mountains began to gather towards the cave.

Then there are a few more talismans, but they are "evil warding talismans", which are also pasted on the rock.

"Laifu, from now on, you want to be a different dog with aspirations, and practice with me."

woof, ow,

"Come on, let me read a scripture first and you listen."

The sound of chanting resounded in the cave on the top of the mountain,

In this way, Wang Zhe began his life of retreat in the mountains.

Kendo, visualization, scriptures, talismans.
There is a lake on the east side surrounded by three mountains, which is shaped like a fat eggplant.

This afternoon, the afterglow of the setting sun fell on the water, sparkling, the lake was half green and half red at sunset, very beautiful.

Suddenly, a ray of light flew out from the shore and fell into the water, and then the lake began to part from the shore, heading towards the center of the lake.

The cross-section is even, exposing the sediment and aquatic plants at the bottom of the river. There is an invisible force blocking the closing of the lake water on both sides. This lake water is like a piece of crystal clear sugar cake being cut open.

The incision didn't stop extending until tens of feet away.

The cut surface of the lake suddenly closed, making a loud noise, and the originally clear lake water instantly became turbid.

hiss, hoo,
Wang Zhe retracted his sword.

When he was outside Guobei County, he used to cut the river water, and the river water was surging, but now he cut the lake water.

Water is not a rock, if a rock is cut, it will not stay on the river, and if the water is cut, it will close.
"Horizontal" is a sword intent, not a sword move, it can cut horizontally or vertically,
"There is no need to practice too strong, let's cut this lake first!"

Wang Zhe looked at the lake in front of him and set a goal. The lake is at least hundreds of feet wide.

So and so, day by day, the days pass quickly,
There are no Jiazi in the mountains, and the years do not know the years.

When I went up the mountain, the mountain was still full of greenery. I didn’t think that after a few days, some leaves on the mountain had already started to turn yellow, and autumn was here.

On the back mountain, on a relatively gentle hillside, the earth dog rolled a stone weighing at least a few dozen catties up the mountain with difficulty.

panting with tongue out,

Wang Zhe flicked his long sleeves across the air, and the stone flew out and rolled into the forest hundreds of feet away.

"It's too slow! Laifu, you are far behind, you have to practice hard."

Woof woof, ow!
The earth dog barked wildly at Wang Zhe.

Before I knew it, the wind on the mountain gradually became colder, blowing off the leaves one by one,
"The moon is full, it should be almost Mid-Autumn Festival, I will go down the mountain tomorrow to buy something to celebrate."

One person and one dog sat on the mountain, looking at the sky, and the cold moonlight fell from the sky.

To be a stranger in a foreign country alone, think of love every time during the festive season.

He has few relatives to miss,
"It is estimated that I will live alone for a long time in the future."

In the early morning of the next day, Wang Zhe went down the mountain and went to a county town dozens of miles away.

Buy some cooked food, moon cakes, a pot of wine, and then slowly leave the city,

On the road outside the city, he accidentally ran into two Taoist priests, one was younger, in his twenties, and taller, and the other was seventeen or eighteen, with a handsome appearance.

"Senior brother, how long did it take to refine alchemy this time?"

"It's hard to say, it can be as short as three months, as long as a year, or even longer. The last pill was almost useless, and the master is very angry!"

"Then what can be done, after all, the spirit fire is not easy to control! Brother, I accidentally saw them."

"Junior brother!" The senior brother glared at the younger brother.

"There are some things that you and I can't control. Master said that practice is a struggle with the sky. Since ancient times, those who seek longevity have always used unscrupulous methods!"

"But we, we. Brother, I've been having nightmares for the past few nights, and I don't want to stay in the Taoist temple any longer."

"You want to leave the Taoist temple?" The brother stared at his own brother.

"Junior brother, remember, you can only say this to me. If you go back to the Taoist temple and tell anyone, that is your time of death!"

"Brother, I."

"you shut up!"

The senior brother looked around and saw Wang Zhe who was tens of feet away from them.

"Don't talk about these things at the foot of the mountain!"

Wang Zhe looked at it with the "Looking Qi Technique", and the aura on the two Taoist priests was stronger than that of ordinary people, with a faint green aura, and a faint gray aura on their bodies

Dust-ridden, disease or disaster,
"These two Taoist priests just said a lot of information!"

Although it was far away, he did hear the conversation between the two Taoist priests very clearly.

Two Taoist priests walked in front, and he followed behind

After leaving the city, after walking for about seven or eight miles, they turned into a mountain road and entered the mountain.

There is a Taoist temple in the mountain forest, which is built on the mountainside, and there are more than a dozen Taoist priests living in it. They rarely go down the mountain on weekdays, and few people go to the mountain.

Wang Zhe glanced at the mountain from a distance, and what he saw was just the general atmosphere of mountains and rivers. The mountain was slightly higher, but in terms of beauty, it was not even comparable to the mountain he had chosen.

He did not go deep into the mountain, but returned to the mountain where he practiced.

The next day was Mid-Autumn Festival, Wang Zhe specially prepared some dishes,

At night, one person and one dog sit on the top of the mountain, watching the moon and drinking.

The full moon is like a big jade plate hanging in the sky, the moonlight is bright.

"Laifu, eat more, I did it, you can do whatever you want!"

The earth dog bit the wine bowl and drank it down.

"Laifu, what do you think a person would do if he could live for hundreds or thousands of years, martial arts leader, emperor? Will he feel bored after a long time?"

The earth dog beside him was eating beef.

"Don't tell me, sometimes it's good to be as simple-minded as you are."

The earth dog looked up at him with the meat in its mouth.

"You continue to eat, if you don't have enough, there will be more."

"Laifu, let me tell you a story. You have a senior named Xiaotiangou. What it likes to do is bite an Arhat named Jianglong."
