Wulong Mountain is very cold in winter, not the bone-chilling cold in the north. The cold air comes from the soles of the feet, and is cold enough to penetrate one's bones.
Liu Xiaolou Su Xing When Su Xing came out of practice, he found himself squeezed into Qianzhu Ridge the highest stone crevice again, with Dabai beside him and the warm Little Black above his head.
It's just that Dabai didn't move away. Little Black had a "skin-to-skin relationship" with Liu Xiaolou for the first time. The reason was that the "steam" on Liu Xiaolou's head made it feel very warm on the cold mountain top.
Sensing his Su Xing, Little Black meowed, reluctantly jumped down, and lay on Dabai's back again.
Liu Xiaolou smoothed Dabai's smooth neck, stood up from the crack in the stone, looked at the mountains shrouded in mist, and felt happy and comfortable in his heart.
This joy comes from the progress in spiritual practice. In more than a month, I have continuously opened up Xuanzhong, Qiuxu, Zulinqi, Diwuhui, and Xiaxi The five acupoints, and even the large acupoint Qiuxu, which has a true essence acupoint pool, did not cause any hindrance to me, and I just penetrated all the way until the last acupoint - Foot Qiaoyin point.
Although Foot Qiaoyin point has been flushed many times and it has not become loose, this is the last acupoint of Foot Shaoyang Meridian after all. The last acupoint of each Meridians is usually the level of this sutra. It is normal that it cannot be opened in a short time.
Breaking five acupuncture points in a row for twenty days in one month is really a rare speed in my life. Compared with the progress I made when I was practicing double cultivation with Qingzhu, it is no less impressive. He had a vague feeling that he couldn't explain. It seemed that his rapid progress was related to this crack. Otherwise, why would he "sleepwalk" here again and again during more than a month of practice?
He did not go down from here immediately, but carefully looked at the stone crevice. In order to see it more clearly, he even drove Dabai and Little Black aside.
But I couldn't see anything special about it, so I changed my mind and looked at the Feng Shui here from the perspective of formations. After looking at it like this, I really saw some tricks.
The pinnacle of this Qianzhu Ridge seems to be a light-shattering situation that Bing Ding, Lin Teng and Snake can overcome. If we include the Bamboo Forest below and look at it together, it is another White Tiger evil formation that Geng, Lin and White Tiger can overcome. E, look at my small courtyard again, the two century-old Old Pine plants at the entrance of the courtyard Front Mountain form another Heavenly Pillar evil formation.
Looking at the mountains, Ghost Dream Cliff on the left is a tooth mouth, Guzhang Mountain extending out can be compared to the dragon's spine, Jade Maiden Peak to the north and Flying Tiger Ridge to the southwest are dragon claws, and Qianzhu Ridge is located at the dragon's eye.
No wonder it's called Wulong Mountain. Looking back at the mountains from Qianzhu Ridge, isn't it just a mistake?
It's just that this oolong has Wu Chao River flowing on it, as if it's tied up. This is called Dragon Binding evil formation.
Originally Liu Xiaolou had never thought about this problem and didn't understand it. Now when he checked it for the first time, he couldn't help but be stunned.
The four evils, namely Light Evil, White Tiger Evil, Tianzhu Evil, and Binding Dragon Evil, are all intertwined. It is definitely not a good place!
But the paradox is that in this situation of the Four Evils, he himself can truly feel the benefits of spiritual practice. What is the reason for this?
He was not a master of formations, so he couldn't figure out this question, so he could only hide his doubts in his heart and slowly look for the answer.
On the first day of February, Liu Xiaolou hung two wooden plaques around Dabai's neck, with the words "Yangliu Bay" written on them, and gave them to Dragon Horse Waterfall and Half-Acre Gorge. I originally wanted to engrave the words "Hero's Invitation" on these two wooden signs, but after much deliberation I decided not to do so. It was really meaningless for just two people.
He quietly went down the mountain and walked around to the east. Not long after walking, someone was chasing after him. When he looked back, it was Fang Buai.
"Xiaofang?"
Fang Buai was out of breath after chasing him, and bowed with his sword. "Senior, if something happens, please call me. I may not be talented, but I am willing to die!"
Liu Xiaolou wanted to repel him, but suddenly he remembered that when he was Qi Refining second layer, didn't he also go down the mountain and fight for his life? Fang Buai Qi Refining third layer, but it is higher than his cultivation level back then. If he doesn't go down the mountain and fight hard, when will he be able to improve his cultivation level?
So he sighed softly, "Follow me."
Fang Buai followed closely behind Liu Xiaolou, heading along the less traveled route.
"Xiaofang, someone may die this time."
"Juniors are not afraid of death. What I am afraid of is not being able to practice."
"In this business, you must keep your mouth shut."
"Senior, don't worry, junior understands."
We walked around Wu Chao Town and Wuling Mountain all the way. When we saw Tianmen Market, we turned south again, came to the old house of Yangliu Bay, and climbed over the wall.
Fang Buai curiously looked at the dilapidated and vine-covered abandoned house in front of him. After walking around, he muttered, "The haunted house has a strong atmosphere of blood and light."
Liu Xiaolou smiled, "Xiaofang still has this ability?" As he said that, he sat down in the corner of the courtyard with his eyes closed.
Fang Buai said no more, sat down by the wall, closed his eyes and adjusted his breath.
In the evening, someone walked in, it was Wei Hongqing.
Liu Xiaolou said to him, "This is Xiaofang, Fang Buai, my new friend from Qianzhu Ridge, Qi Refining third layer, Brother Wei. I have seen him. After the Zhuoshui War, he went to Wulong Mountain to make a living. He is a good person."
Wei Hongqing naturally trusts people who can be brought by Liu Xiaolou. He simply asked him what he was good at and patted him on the shoulder to show encouragement.
An hour later, Tan Bazhang and Zuo Gaofeng also arrived one after another. Tan Bazhang smiled and said, "Xiaofang is here too!"
Zuo Gaofeng warned him, "Xiaofang, this time is not a battle. You must listen to the instructions and don't be too reckless."
Liu Xiaolou said, "Everyone is here, let me tell you first, what we are going to do this time is Tianmu Mountain's inner door Officer Lu Zhongqiu, Qi Refining Perfection, every At this time of year, we have to go down the mountain to purchase a batch of Spiritual Material. We don't know how he paid for the goods, but let's bet that he carries spiritual stones, gold and silver with him. Let's listen to what Brother Wei has to say."
Several people cheered up and looked at Wei Hongqing. Wei Hongqing said, "I have been asking around these days. In the past few years, people with the surname Lu have mainly taken two routes. The northern route is through Nanshan, along the Lou River to Jiashan and then eastward. I don't know where they go; the southern route. He walked along the Qihe River, passed through the Taoyuan Mountains, to the East Lake, and then headed eastward. However, no matter which route he took, he would pass by Jiashan and spend the night in Jiashanji. This has been the case for the past three years.
Zuo Gaofeng said, "Are we going to start at Jiashan Market? We need to think about it in the long run. I've been there before. It's a big place with a lot of people and mixed opinions..."
Wei Hongqing said, "Of course not. Let's keep an eye on him at Jiashan Market, and then take action on his way back - Guangfu Bridge, seven miles away to the west of the market. Guangfu Bridge. If that doesn't work, continue to the west, Wulei Mountain ten miles away. If that still doesn't work, then retreat westward, Fengshui Ferry!"
Zuo Gaofeng said, "Wait until he comes back before we start. I wonder if there are any leftover spiritual stones, gold and silver from the purchased goods?"
Wei Hongqing said, "Then rob this batch of goods, they are also valuable."
This plan is generally good. I think Wei Hongqing has put a lot of effort into it. It is already quite difficult to find out the whereabouts of Lu Zhongqiu to this extent. Zuo Gaofeng no longer "plans for the long term", while Tan Bazhang is excited and ready to "beat him up".
Liu Xiaolou couldn't help but be a little worried. "Brother Wei, I'm afraid you won't be able to escape suspicion."
Wei Hongqing smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, ten days ago, I had a verbal dispute with the inner sect Officer Zhang Zhengyi, and we had a fight. He was seriously injured by him, and I am currently in seclusion to recuperate."
Liu Xiaolou asked, "Brother Wei is retreating to rest, but people are going down the mountain. If Lu Yan clan comes to visit..."
Wei Hongqing The corners of his mouth twitched and he sneered, "It has been ten days since I was injured, and she has never asked me a question."
This was the first time Tan Bazhang and Zuo Gaofeng heard about it. Zuo Gaofeng was surprised and said, "Brother Wei and Lu Yan clan... have their relationship broken down?"
Tan Bazhang was already indignant. "These noble ladies just look down on us Wulong Mountain heroes. What the hell are they? Pretentious guys! Brother Wei, after you finish this job, you should come back like Xiaolou, and don't let her offend you!"
Wei Hongqing didn't explain much, just said, "Let's take it one step at a time. If you can stay at Tianmu Mountain for one more day, you will have one more source of information, and you can make a fortune with your brothers!"
The current few people are very different from a few years ago. Zuo Gaofeng and Tan Bazhang have each improved one level after Battle of Zhuoshui. Zuo Gaofeng already broke through Qi Refining ninth layer two months ago and are almost qualified to fight Lu Zhongqiu face to face. Tan Bazhang has also reached Qi Refining Level 7, entering the highest level of mid Qi Refining.
Wei Hongqing stayed at Tianmu Mountain for five years. He was promoted from Qi Refining Level 5 to Qi Refining Layer 8 and officially entered late Qi Refining.
Liu Xiaolou is the one who has advanced the fastest in cultivation. Counting from Qi Refining second layer when he debuted, he jumped four levels in five years, and Qi Refining sixth layer has also reached the last level of cultivation. He is only a window away from Qi Refining Level 7, and he is already behind several people.
