Wandering

Chapter 10

The soil pull dragon is extremely poisonous. It is said that after being bitten by it, it took five steps and died, but the fact is not so exaggerated.The toxicity of each snake mainly depends on the lethal amount of venom, and the degree of poisoning after being bitten by a snake depends on the amount of venom secreted by the snake when it bites a person.For the same venomous snake, the larger the body size, the greater the venom secretion, and the deeper the poisoning after being bitten!I have never seen a five-paced snake as big as just now. The usual soil pull dragon is only as thick as the mouth of a wine glass, but this soil pull dragon is as thick as a tea bowl, and its body length is more than two meters!One bite from this snake can kill nine cows with its venom!I grew up in the mountains, and I was often with Grandpa Jin, so I still understand these common senses very clearly.

The poisonous snake bit me at the most fatal place, my left forearm!Generally, after being bitten by a snake, the wound needs to be cut open to release poisonous blood, and at the same time, the wound is bandaged behind the joint above the heart to slow down the blood flow.But the left forearm was bitten, so it can only be bandaged on the left upper arm, where the heart is after the left shoulder!Not even a buffer.And after being poisoned, the most taboo thing is to be nervous, and you can't run, because this will only increase the speed of blood flow, and the toxicity will spread faster.

I know these common senses, but I was in the wilderness at that time, if I didn’t get to the place where someone could take me to the hospital for emergency treatment in time, I would die!I can't run fast, it seems that I can't escape this disaster no matter what!What do people think of at such times?There may be many things that come to mind, but my mind was blank at the time.I instinctively turned around and left, staggering down the mountain.Unexpectedly, he stumbled, turned somersault and fell into the bushes.

I don't know whether it was the effect of the poisoning or the psychological effect. I felt that my left hand to my shoulder was already cold and numb, and I couldn't feel it.By the way, first cut the wound and squeeze out the poisonous blood!How did I forget this!Check out your pocket for a knife first!I lay on the ground and took out my pocket with my right hand. Without a knife, I only took out a red fruit the size of a plum.

Time is running out, I just feel that the numbness of my whole body is getting stronger and stronger, my heart is beating slower and heavier, and my limbs are getting cold.At this time, a hot current was born in the dantian to resist the cold current in the whole body, but the hot current became weaker and weaker——.The faint heat flow in the dantian seemed to remind me of something, something flashed in my mind but I couldn't catch it!Just in a daze, I saw the vermilion fruit in front of me, maybe it was an instinct out of confusion, I put this highly poisonous vermilion fruit into my mouth!

As soon as I entered the vermilion fruit, my teeth instinctively bit through the peel, and a sweet and slightly pungent juice flowed into my throat.Following this stream of juice into the throat, a stream of heat rises from the chest and goes straight down to the dantian. The faint warmth in the dantian seems to be thrown into an explosive fire, and it spreads suddenly, and the cold feeling in the whole body is washed away a lot .This feeling made me very eager, and I almost swallowed the fruit core in three mouthfuls.

After Zhu Guo entered the abdomen, the hot current in the dantian became more and more intense, it was no longer a warm current, but scalding like a fire!I just felt that the zhenqi was running wildly all over my body, wandering around in my internal organs.It didn't take long, the heat flow had spread all over the body, and it was getting hotter and hotter, the whole body was as hot as coals!
The feeling of cold limbs and numbness after being bitten by a snake has disappeared without a trace, but it has been replaced by another more uncomfortable feeling.I was lying on the ground, I couldn't even move a little finger, my body seemed to be frozen.But this is a strange solidification, I feel that the internal organs are heating and swollen, and there is an illusion that they are about to explode!My lips were already dry and cracked, my throat was so thirsty that it was about to smoke, I opened my mouth to call for help but couldn't make any sound, my consciousness gradually became blurred——

……

Boom!There was a thunderous explosion in the sky, and the sky that had been gloomy began to thunder.With the rolling thunder, dense raindrops fell overwhelmingly.It was raining, and it was a heavy rainstorm with small hailstones.

The marble-sized hailstones didn't hurt my body at all, but I didn't find it enjoyable.I lay on the ground with my mouth open and drank the rainwater from the sky, and I finally became a little sober.I didn't notice that the rainwater and crushed ice hit my body and was quickly evaporated. My whole body was covered with a layer of white mist, which looked very strange!Although the raindrops are dense, they don't quench my thirst at all. What I exhale from my throat is white water vapor.

It went on like this for a long time, maybe an hour, maybe two hours.I felt my body gradually float up in the bushes.broken!It was raining hard, and I was lying on the hillside, and the rain was washing off the hill more and more, and it would soon wash me out of the bushes.I couldn't do anything, because my whole body was about to lose consciousness, and I couldn't move at all.

The water on the hillside was flowing faster and faster, and it had gathered into a torrent of moderate size, with stones the size of eggs sandwiched in it.I know that these stones are falling on me, but I don't feel it at all.Suddenly, I felt my body loosen, and I was already rolling down the hillside!I don't remember how many times I rolled between the mud, stones and bushes, I just felt that the sky was dark, my consciousness was blurred again, and I gradually didn't know anything...

I don't know how long it took, but I finally woke up faintly.I opened my eyes and looked around, and found myself lying on a very familiar place - a river beach covered with pebbles, which was the same river beach where I practiced "Donkey Rolling" some time ago.My mind was still a little fuzzy, and it took me a long time lying there to figure out what I was going through before I lost consciousness.Stalking Xiuxiu—bitten by a snake—eat vermilion fruit—fever all over—thunderstorm and hailstone—washed away by mountain torrents, and then?And here it is!
I sat up in a daze, touched my whole body, fortunately, all the parts were there!Look at the clothes on his body again, my God, the most standard performance art beggar costume!Wrapped one by one, hung one by one and torn one by one, the most complete part is no more than the size of a palm.How could it be like this?I hurriedly checked my whole body to see if there was any injury. Logically speaking, I should be covered in bruises.But the result made me even unbelievable, the skin all over my body was smooth and clean, without even the slightest scar!I used to have a slightly dark complexion, but now my skin looks like a shiny tooth-white, like satin under the moonlight--only then did I notice that the sky was already dark, the rain had stopped long ago, and the half moon was just around the corner. Quietly hanging in the sky.

After sitting on the river beach for half the night, when it was daylight, I slipped back to school over the wall.Ask me why I don't go through the door?Can the doorman let me in with my current attire?The classmates in the dormitory were still asleep, so I quickly changed my clothes.Fortunately, yesterday was Sunday, otherwise I don't know how to explain the unexcused absence.

……

"Shi Ye, your skin is so good! I haven't noticed it for a few days, why did you turn white? Did you go for a beauty treatment secretly? Tell me which beauty salon it is, the technique is really good." When school was over at noon, Ji Xiaoyu and a few A group of girls surrounded me and asked questions curiously. It turned out that they had discovered the change in me early in the morning.

I squeaked and didn't know how to answer, she asked me who should I ask?I myself don't know what's going on!At this moment, Junzi Feng came over and opened his mouth to help me: "I know, I know! I took Shi Ye to take a bath in Jiulongchi yesterday, and invited three bathing masters-those old mud, rub it! Two hours, it's almost like shedding a layer of skin! How about it? It will be white after washing it. Ji Xiaoyu, do you want to wash it well too?"

"Cut! Are you kidding me?" Junzi Feng pulled me out of the classroom amidst the laughter of the crowd.Although this kid was trying to smooth things over for me, he still forgot to take the opportunity to hurt me a few words.

He and I walked all the way to Zhuangyuan Bridge, and at the head of the bridge he turned and asked me: "Shi Ye, did Yuanshi Tianzun borrow money from you yesterday?"

I always wanted to ask what happened to me, but I didn't expect him to ask such a nonsensical question. "Yuanshi Tianzun? No, I don't know, I remember you borrowed money from me at noon the day before yesterday."

Feng Junzi asked again: "Then when you were shopping, you met Taishang Laojun selling medicine at a stall?"

"Feng Junzi, what do you want to say?"

Feng Junzi stared: "You still ask me what I want to say? I still want to ask you what's going on? How did you practice the kung fu of the golden bell cover to the highest level in one day?"

"The highest state of the Golden Bell Shade? You mean me?"

"You don't know yet? The highest state of the golden bell cover is called 'Golden Dragon Locking Jade Pillar'. To reach this state, it is no longer an ordinary outsider kung fu. It is comparable to Buddhism's Vajra Indestructibility. Simply practicing outsider kung fu It is impossible to reach this level, because it is tantamount to rebirth. Alchemy cultivation to a very high level also needs to be reborn, but your fire is still too far away, how could this be? Don’t tell me that the Jade Emperor worshiped you as a brother! "

"What's going on with the Golden Dragon Lock Jade Pillar? I've never heard of it. Tell me."

Feng Junzi: "Tell me what you did yesterday first, and I will explain it to you."

Right now, I told Feng Junzi what happened yesterday, including how I followed Xixiu, how I was bitten by a snake on the mountain, later I ate red fruit by mistake, and was finally washed down the mountain by water.Feng Junzi's eyes widened when I was talking, and his mouth remained open, almost enough to stuff a duck egg in.It took a long time for him to come back to his senses after I finished speaking, and moved to my side to touch and pinch with both hands, just like picking animals at the market.

"Can you take your hand back? I'm not gay." Junzi Feng's expression made my skin crawl.

"You kid, you took a huge risk and got shit luck! If you are bitten by a soil puller in the wild, you will die, if you eat vermilion fruit, you will die if you are washed away by the mountain torrent, and you will die when you are unconscious. You will still die in the river, just like this, you are still alive and kicking! You have even practiced the Golden Dragon Lock Jade Pillar, thank God, thank you again!"

"Of course thank God, but why should I thank you?"

"Thank God, it's because God helped you. Without the heavy rain, you would have died. Thank God, it's because the Lord of the Land may have helped you too. If you were not washed up on the river beach but swept away by the water now I'm afraid you won't even be able to find the corpse. As for thanking me, I taught you the method of San Gong of rolling the donkey and the formula of the golden bell mask, and I also came up with the idea of ​​combining these two skills. Otherwise, no matter how lucky you are, you will still die."

"I still don't quite understand, can you explain clearly?"

"Such a big five-step snake can poison several of you to death! You actually ate vermilion fruit. I don't know if the medicinal power of vermilion fruit can dissolve the snake venom, but the heat poison of vermilion fruit must be stronger than snake venom. You will still suffer from it." Death. The heavy rain can't dissolve the heat poison in your body, but the beauty is that the water washes you down the mountain. Some kung fu can be cultivated unintentionally, such as rolling your donkey and adding a golden bell jar. This is human A kind of self-protection instinct. Donkey rolling is a method of dispersing kung fu, which is to dissipate the true energy in the body, but usually you can't dispel Zhu Guo's heat by rolling yourself, let alone you couldn't move at all. Rolling down the mountain is an unexpected blessing in disguise. Of course, if you don’t know the golden bell shield, you will be killed if you smash it. Zhu Guo’s medicinal power is strong, and the impact of the flood is fierce. Only the magic of the earth can dissolve the true energy in your body. Let you inadvertently obtain the realm of the Golden Dragon Lock Jade Pillar. Don't you think your luck is really good?"

"It's really lucky. But what is the use of this golden dragon lock jade pillar? Am I invulnerable?"

"Invulnerability? Just dream! No matter how strong a flesh and blood body is, it is impossible to be invincible. Even if you are made of copper and iron, if you give you an atomic bomb, there will still be no ashes left! But outsider kung fu can indeed strengthen the body. It’s probably hard for the ax to hurt you now. I’ve also heard a saying that after the end of the outer kung fu practice, you can block pistol bullets from 50 meters away..."

"Can even block bullets? Wouldn't it be great on the battlefield!"

"Why are you so excited! Generally, the range of a pistol is only 50 meters, beyond this distance, it is impossible to aim accurately. On the battlefield, pistols are not used for fighting, they are used for self-defense by officers, and if you say it badly, they may only be used for suicide. If you If you want to kill yourself, you can try five-six semi-automatic, or AK47! As long as it is within the range, it will definitely kill you."

"Then isn't the kung fu of the golden bell jar useless?"

"It is still very useful in the era of cold weapons. As for now, you can go to the street to find gangsters to fight... Don't be disappointed, this is not kung fu on the battlefield, this is the dream of all cultivators."

"Dream?"

Feng Junzi nodded: "Cultivating the Tao, especially the Tao of Alchemy, pursues longevity and long-term vision, and the foundation of longevity lies in the body of the furnace. But the human body is fragile, there are diseases and disasters, and there are unexpected dooms. So To practice alchemy, you must first learn to keep fit, learn to cure diseases and prolong life, and secondly, learn to protect yourself and avoid disasters. Many people fail to practice alchemy not because of wrong skills, but because of their limited life span. And there are some masters, although If you learn the art of prolonging your life, you can live for a hundred years. However, in ancient times, there were frequent wars and disasters, and life span is not enough. Therefore, many so-called high-level people often hide in the deep mountains and marshes to practice, not because of the scenery there. Well, it’s a way to avoid disaster. But even if you hide in the deep mountains, there are still natural and man-made disasters, and there are also floods and beasts. And you, the realm of the golden dragon lock and jade pillar, can not only strengthen your body and cure diseases, but also defend yourself. An unbreakable furnace is naturally the dream of alchemists. Do you understand?"

"I understand that people in Dan Dao didn't learn Kungfu from outsiders to fight with others. But why did I meet it, I mean, why did that snake bite me out of nowhere?"

Feng Junzi smiled: "I know why, in fact, even if there are no snakes to bite you, you will encounter other accidents. This is the doom of a cultivator. I don't know about other sects, but my alchemy It's called "Four Gates and Twelve-Story Towers". It is about entering in order and going up layer by layer. There are four kinds of achievements, twelve layers of realm. And every time you reach a stage, there will be a calamity. If you count the beginning and the end, There are a total of thirteen catastrophes!"

I was startled: "Heavenly Tribulation? There are still thirteen ways. Doesn't it mean that the cultivator will only have Heavenly Tribulation when he ascends to the final ascension? After going through the Tribulation, he can become a fairy!"

Feng Junzi: "Did you read it in a novel? You can also take the words in the novel seriously? Cultivators have been safe for hundreds of years, and when they are finally done, they are struck by lightning a few times, and everything is finished if they are struck to death. It’s a god, do you think it’s possible to say that? Then God is joking!”

"But this calamity is too terrible. If it happens again, there is a high probability that I will die. If it is true, I dare not learn again!" Thinking about yesterday's experience, it is really a narrow escape, and if it happens again, I am afraid it will be ten deaths There is no birth.

Feng Junzi frowned and shook his head: "This is also where I am strange. Calamity is for cultivating xinxing, and generally it will not directly hurt the body. And your calamity is so dangerous this time, it has never been heard since ancient times! Ordinarily it shouldn't be That's it! In fact, this is already the second catastrophe you have experienced, and the last time was not dangerous."

"The second time? What was the last time?"

"According to my four-door and twelve-floor alchemy way, the first door is the triple realm of internal illumination, shape refining, and great medicine. From the foundation building entry to the internal illumination, it starts from the activation of a yang, so what you have to experience is' Lust and desire robbery', you have already experienced this in the Fengyue Qingming mirror (Actually, I only found out later that this calamity is not that simple, it started from the night when Teacher Liu was attacked, and only completed this in the Qingming mirror One calamity counts). Inner vision is followed by body refinement, which is actually the way to strengthen the body, heal diseases and prolong life. Between the two realms of internal illumination and body refinement, what one has to experience is 'body suffering'. Ordinary people experience body suffering , usually there will be a process of "disease recovery", all hidden diseases in the body will attack, the uncomfortable feeling will appear concentrated, and then slowly reduce, and finally achieve the effect of purifying the body. I have never heard of anyone like You are so extreme."

It turned out that this is the case, not because the Taoism is dangerous, but because my own luck is too special.Thinking of this, I asked again: "Then you have to tell me in advance what the next catastrophe will be, otherwise I won't dare to go through it again, and if it happens like this again, I will die!"
