White Fish Bay, inside the cave
The thick stone wall seems to isolate all the sounds outside the stone chamber. The sound of the waves and winds can not be heard at all, leaving only a tranquility, which is the most suitable atmosphere for the practitioners to practice meditation.
Shen Shi is sitting on the bed at the moment, quietly looking at the Lingxiao Sect's "Xingluo Gong" secret formula in his hand, and gently holding a small shiny stone in his right hand, which is Lingjing.
His eyes scanned the magic formula carefully, and then he put it aside to ponder. According to the Star Rhyme, because the human body is really weak, it is better for the human friars to practice only once a day in the initial cultivation state, that is, to absorb the spirit power of the spirit crystal once a day, so as to gradually increase the number of times to absorb the spirit power of the spirit crystal. Otherwise, if the qi is too fast, the spiritual power will enter the body too much, and the physical body will easily be unable to bear it, which will do great harm.
"In the daytime, because of the flesh body's backbiting, the spiritual power has dissipated before entering the body. This should not be regarded as a cultivation, right?" Shen Shi frowns and carefully recalls the situation in the day. Finally, he looks at the Lingjing in his hand and sees that the Lingjing is crystal clear and shiny, apparently intact. You should know that if a friar has absorbed spiritual power from it, the light of the Lingjing will weaken. The more times you have absorbed spiritual power, the darker the luster of the Lingjing will be, which is easy to distinguish. Once the spirit crystal used by the friars has absorbed the spirit power even once, it is usually impossible to buy all kinds of spirit materials in the market as money.
After careful consideration for several times, Shen Shi decided to try to cultivate again. Anyway, Bai Yue was in the Morning Star Hall, and Elder Martial Brother Wang Gen had already told them clearly. In fact, physical backbiting was just like that. It was just that his physical body was not in harmony with his spiritual power. There was no shortcut to solve this problem. He just practiced several times more honestly and suffered from physical backbiting several times. When the physical body gradually adapted to spiritual power, Then you can start to practice.
A long pain is not as bad as a short one. Suffering sooner or later is always painful... Shen Shi comforted himself a few words like this in his heart, then took a deep breath, closed his eyes, clenched the palm, and held the crystal tightly in his palm.
The Star Rhythm Rhythm once again worked. But without the help of those strange arrays in the Morning Star Hall, Shen Shi obviously felt that he could not concentrate quickly. It took him several times longer than Bai Yue. Then he slowly calmed down and felt the faint light of spiritual power in the crystal.
The rest of the work, as Bai Yue once did, was concentrated on chasing the glimmer of light in the dark. After spending the most effort, Shen Shi finally managed to catch the trace of Holy power. At this time, Shen Shi already felt that his body was beginning to tremble slightly, and his spirit was extremely tired. It was clear that he had not absorbed Holy power into his body, and the signs of physical backbiting did not appear, But somehow it felt like it was going to die.
It was not easy to grasp the Holy Power. Shen Shi was unwilling to give up easily, so he still tried hard to absorb the Holy Power into his palm's qi.
Under his control, this wisp of weak spiritual power slowly approached his body. When he just touched the palm skin and was about to integrate into his body's qi, Shen Shi's body suddenly shook, and an intense pain seemed to tear his body apart. It emerged from every corner of his body at the same time, making him suddenly collapse. All of a sudden, he was paralyzed and made a "bang" from the bed, He fell down directly.
The flesh body backbites, and finally appears again.
Shen Shi was trembling all over, but he kept twitching on the ground, and his face was white, which was beyond his expectation. I don't know why the pain of backbiting was more severe than Bai Yue's, especially in addition to the severe pain all over his body, there was a headache in his head that Bai Yue had never seen before, just like the whole head was about to burst open, making him miserable, I almost hit the ground with my head.
This pain is almost unbearable. It almost makes people feel worse than death. Although the whole body is splitting, it is still unbearable. But the pain in the head, which has never been seen before, is so fierce that it is almost impossible to resist. Suddenly, Shen Shi holds his head on the ground and can't help crying out, kicking his legs and rolling.
Fortunately, this intense and terrible pain did not last for long, but gradually faded after a while, otherwise Shen Shi really doubted whether he would die in this way.
The road of cultivation is really hard and tortuous.
Shen Shi lies down on the ground and is unable to get up for a while. He only feels tired all over and even more mentally. He seems to have died and lived again, which is much worse than Bai Yue in the Morning Star Hall.
Shen Shi looked at the stone wall above his head blankly. Was it an accident? Isn't it clear that the pain of the body's backbiting gradually weakens with the increase of cultivation times? Why did it actually increase so much when it came to me?
Or, even if there is no aura in the body, it is actually a practice once. If I practice again in the evening, it is the "great harm" mentioned in the Xingluo Code?
Shen Shi was really tired when he thought about it. He even slept on the ground in a daze. But when he was about to go to sleep, he didn't know what he was thinking. Suddenly, an idea flashed across his mind. It seemed that he remembered something, but he forgot it in a twinkling of an eye. It seemed that the idea was important, but when he looked back carefully, he couldn't remember it at all.
It was sunny on April 17.
When Shen Shi woke up from his sleep in a trance, he felt pain all over his body. He thought about last night again and couldn't help but sweat again.
This path of cultivating the Tao is really not a joke. Although it is still unclear why the pain of physical backbiting increased last night, and there was no sign of severe head pain before, Shen Shi decided to be more careful when practicing in the future. In addition, it is better to find an opportunity to ask Elder Martial Brother Suhe about his situation today.
Last night, I slept on the ground directly. When I got up, I felt stiff. I hurried to move in the stone room and felt slowly recovered. After closing the star beads on his head with the cloud charm, he saw a ray of sunlight falling from the skylight. Suddenly, Shen Shi felt a shock and shouted, "Damn!"
At that moment, he quickly picked up his clothes at random, opened the stone gate and ran out. Yesterday, he was better with the starfish girl in Hongbeng Village. Now it's too late.
He cried to himself. When he thought of yesterday that he had asked if people would get up so early, Shen Shi couldn't help feeling a little feverish. But there was no other way but to get there as soon as possible. As for asking Suhe or other elder martial brothers about the strange phenomenon of flesh back eating, we can go to them when we come back earlier today.
When he ran out of the cave, Shen Shi walked quickly toward the Green Fish Gathering. He didn't walk a few steps, but heard the stone gate of the cave next to him suddenly open. Sun You came out and saw Shen Shi at the first sight. His eyes lit up and he reached out to greet him.
Shen Shi stopped and waited until he ran up to him. He looked at him up and down and smiled, "Where are you going?"
Sun You just said the same thing. He even asked the same question. They both smiled at each other and walked away together. Shen Shi said, "I'd better go to the Red Beng Village."
Sun You looked at him and said, "Can you really do that? How many pieces of shrimp did you peel yesterday?"
Shen Shi shook his head and said: "There are only five. Go and try again today. The main thing is that there is really no suitable task in the White Crane Hall. By the way, did you find any task after you went back yesterday?"
Sun You paused for a moment, but took a sneaky look around him. He seemed a little guilty. Then he said quietly to Shen Shi, "He Xiaomei and Jiang Hongguang didn't find anything satisfactory. They said they would go to see it today. After all, it is said that new tasks are often issued in the White Crane Hall. As for me," he said with a dry laugh, "I went to the Spirit Beast Hall and took the task of feeding animals."
Shen Shi was stunned and said: "Yesterday we were at the White Crane Hall. Didn't we ask about the task? I remember that the elder martial sister clearly told us that the task of feeding animals was full."
Sun You coughed and said, "Hmm... It's true that there are too many people. The elder martial sister didn't cheat us."
Shen Shi looked at him and said, "How did you get in?"
Sun You's face became more embarrassed. He hesitated for a moment, but he lowered his voice and said, "My brother-in-law is at the White Crane Hall. He is very familiar with a senior brother in the Spirit Beast Hall, so he asked him to help him..."
Shen Shi looked at him for a long time and said nothing. Then he laughed and shook his head. He walked forward. Sun You felt a little guilty. He ran to him with some embarrassment and said, "Shen Shi, in fact, I asked you for help yesterday whether two people could go to feed the animal together. But my brother-in-law said that it was the elder martial brother's great face to accept one more person, and there was no way to do it."
Shen Shi turned his head, shook his head and smiled: "Sun You, don't worry. I didn't think about anything else. It's a good thing that you have your brother-in-law to help you. I'm only happy for you. It's not a big deal."
Sun You said, "Hmm", his face seemed to care, and said, "You really didn't take it to heart?"
Shen Shi smiled and said: "What's going on in the world, how can we take everything seriously? It's OK."
Sun You was relieved. They chatted all the way, and then walked to the Green Fish Gathering. Here Sun You wanted to go to the feeding place of the Beast Hall in the other direction. As for the road to Hongbeng Village, there was only one place, and no other teenagers passed, so Shen Shi went that way alone.
All the way to Hongbeng Village, Shen Shi in the distance saw a girl squatting on the ground at the entrance of the village, with a large basket of bamboo cages beside her.
When Shen Shi came near, he felt a clatter in his heart. The starfish girl's face looked very gloomy, like a volcano about to erupt...
