Chapter 68 Exercises

Master Decheng listened to Shi Zelan's words and looked carefully at Shi Xiaoliu's situation.

He turned around and explained to Shi Zelan: "Different spiritual roots, different feelings.

You are getting into the groove now and can naturally feel the beauty of it.

Xiaoliu is still a little clumsy at learning to walk and needs some time to perfect his steps. ”

Shi Zelan agreed. She and Shi Xiaoliu shared the experience of learning footwork.

Shi Xiaoliu told her about the discomfort in walking, and Shi Zelan nodded with emotion: "At the beginning, I also felt that it was very awkward to walk like this.

But after practicing twice, I feel that only by raising my steps in this way can my whole body move. ”

Shi Xiaoliu said that he would go into the room to continue practicing, and Shi Zelan just went to talk to Shanzheng Zhenren.

When Master Shanzheng saw her push open the door and come in, he opened his eyes and asked her, "Have you discussed it with Xiaoliu?"

Shi Zelan sat in front of Shanzheng Zhenren and said with deep emotion: "Master, the Immortal King said that he is no longer here, so how can his consciousness still be here?"

Shanzheng Zhenren sighed and said, "An immortal king with a high level of cultivation can indeed leave his spiritual consciousness behind, but the spiritual consciousness will also disappear.

Since the Immortal King left a message, his sect should have disciples left. It depends on whether we can meet the right person. ”

Shi Zelan sighed, “Master, I feel like the secular world doesn’t believe in miracles anymore.

When we visited the people living near Shoushan Temple, they looked at us with a wary look.

Only after the monks from Guanghua Temple left did they feel truly at ease. ”

"Let's do our best and leave the rest to fate. Let's spread the news and the right people will come to inquire about it."

"Master, if we accidentally go in like we did, we will disturb the peace of the Immortal Lord."

Master Shanzheng looked at Shi Zelan and smiled, and his worries were relieved a lot.

"If the Immortal King doesn't want to see someone, I'm afraid that even if we search a thousand mountains, we won't be able to find the Immortal King."

"Master, if the Immortal Lord could meet Xiaoliu, he might be able to find some comfort."

"Xiao Liu looks like the former peak master, but he is not the former peak master after all."

As Shanzheng Zhenren was speaking, he suddenly clapped his hands and said to Shi Zelan, "Just sit quietly and meditate first. I have something to discuss with your uncle."

Shi Zelan stood up and said, "Master, I will go back to my room to meditate and practice."

"Okay." Master Shanzheng went out the door. Shi Zelan followed him and saw him enter Master Decheng's room. She returned to her own thatched hut.

There was a chill in the thatched hut. Shi Zelan placed a warming talisman in the room, and it quickly warmed up.

She sat down to meditate, and after trying hard to suppress the spiritual energy that surged in, she absorbed it into her body. Still, there was more energy coming in, but less energy coming in.

Taoist Master Shanzheng also told her that one should not be impatient in cultivation and should take each step firmly and steadily.

Life in the mountains is very busy.

Shi Zelan has to practice sword, make talismans under the guidance of Master Shanzheng, and learn how to use spiritual energy.

Of course Shi Xiaoliu was never idle. He had to practice footwork and learn how to make pills, which inevitably led to furnace explosions.

The most serious incident was a furnace explosion, which blew off Shi Xiaoliu's thatched roof.

Shi Zelan accompanied Shi Xiaoliu to repair the roof and heard him mutter: "The old recipe must be inadequate. I might blow up the furnace every time."

Shi Zelan turned around and whispered to Shanzheng Zhenren: "Master, when Uncle Shi and Xiaoliu are refining the elixir, we should stay away from them."

"Okay, while they are refining the elixir, you and I will go to the surrounding mountains to enjoy the scenery."

"Master, the snow-covered mountains and forests are the same wherever you go."

"Then let's go to the south and take a look starting tomorrow."

Master Shanzheng insisted, and Shi Zelan obeyed his master's orders. There was no one living on the mountain, so they could go there by flying leaf.

I believe that in one day, they can at least reach the peaks of two mountains.

The next day, the master and disciple set out. Shi Zelan stepped on the flying leaves and headed straight for the southern mountain.

If Master Shanzheng hadn't flicked his hand quickly, Shi Zelan's flying leaves would have hit the mountain wall directly.

Shi Zelan was so frightened that she broke out in a sweat. She put away the flying leaf and said to Shanzheng Zhenren with a face full of shame, "Master, I was wrong. I was too proud."

"You must remember this lesson. I can't always be by your side."

Shanzheng Zhenren rarely looked serious when teaching Shi Zelan: "Being careful is not a big mistake, but being careless is not a good thing."

In the end, he couldn't bear to criticize Shi Zelan harshly, and his tone became much more gentle in the end.

Shi Zelan nodded repeatedly: "Master, I won't make the same mistake again."

Master Shanzheng motioned Shi Zelan to follow behind him: "Sister Lan, walk on the snow without leaving any traces."

After hearing this, Shi Zelan quickened her pace and walked carefully on the snow, leaving a footprint with every step.

The Taoist Master Shanzheng, who was walking in front of her, had a graceful and comfortable posture, his feet were free of dust, and there was no trace of his footsteps on the snow.

Shi Zelan thought that since he had already left traces, he might as well practice the footwork taught by the Immortal Lord.

The first time, her feet sank deep into a snow pit and she had to use all her strength to pull her legs out.

The second time, she walked lightly, but her feet still sank into the snow pit. This time she lifted her feet and got out of the pit.

Master Shanzheng stopped on the tree and watched his disciple pull his legs out again and again like pulling a carrot. He laughed silently so much that a pile of ice cubes fell from the tree.

Shi Zelan raised her eyes with great effort and looked at Master Shanzheng, saying silently: "Master, I'm tired."

Master Shanzheng floated over, lifted Shi Zelan onto his flying leaf, and looked at her with a smile in his eyes.

Shi Zelan lowered her head, and when she saw Shi Xiaoliu, she immediately expressed her gratitude for the hard work.

Shi Xiaoliu listened to her and went to step on the snow excitedly, and then his feet sank into a snow pit.

Shi Zelan watched him pull out his legs, but then insisted on walking on.

The smile in Shi Zelan's eyes faded. She took out her sword and concentrated on practicing swordplay.

The sword was raised, and there was no smile in her eyes.

She swung her sword again and again, until the end, she put away her sword, feeling fulfilled and satisfied.

Shi Xiaoliu walked on the snow for a long time, then turned back and said to Shi Zelan, "I'll practice walking on the snow without leaving any footprints with you tomorrow."

After Shi Zelan was happy, she asked worriedly, "You don't need to make pills anymore?"

"Master said that I was too impetuous and asked me to calm down for the next two days."

"Okay then, let's practice together. We will definitely be able to walk on the snow without leaving any traces."

After listening to the arrangement of the True Man Shanzheng, the True Man Decheng sighed and said, "Are you trying to force the issue?"

"Brother, some idioms in the secular world are not applicable to us practitioners.

We cannot stick to the old ways, and we must also pay attention to methods when training our disciples. ”

Master Decheng looked at him and said, "I need to concentrate on refining the elixir recently. You can take Xiaoliu and Lan Jie'er to go snow-walking together."

"Brother, can you take a day off?"

"No, I just have some ideas right now."

"Okay, we won't disturb you from refining the pills tomorrow."

The next day, Master Shanzheng took Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan to the western mountain. Just as they stood on the top of the mountain, a gust of wind suddenly blew.

Master Shanzheng frowned. He had looked carefully while flying in the sky and found no large wild animals nearby.
