"This technique is divided into two independent volumes, which are two different ways of practicing. They can be regarded as two volumes of techniques. The first volume requires continuous dual cultivation, while the second volume requires... that one must remain a virgin to practice the technique."
"My Lord, you refuse to practice dual cultivation, but can you withstand this?"
"Actually, I personally recommend dual cultivation. I strongly recommend it. Hehehe..."
Although the Mirror has no hormones, it is knowledgeable. As far as it knows, it is very difficult for a physically mature male to remain a virgin.
What's more, for a cultivator to achieve success in cultivation, it will not take one or two years, nor ten or a hundred years. It may take thousands of years to achieve success.
The path of cultivation is long, difficult, lonely and cold.
During this period, you must always follow the requirements of the exercises and maintain your virginity.
Only those who are pure-hearted and persistent can achieve something. You can imagine how difficult it is.
Among all the previous owners of the Thousand-Faced Mirror, few practiced this technique.
After all, if there is a way to improve your cultivation without abstinence, who would choose the second way which is several times more difficult?
Luo Zheyu looked at the name of the martial arts technique that appeared in his mind, "Hehuan Tianwu Jing", and suddenly felt speechless, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
It’s bad enough that the name is so explicit, but this cover... is really a bit spicy.
"…No normal ones?"
"I am a carp now, not a human. Can I still practice cultivation?"
Luo Zheyu thought for a moment before asking.
He still had some resistance in his heart, and if there were other options, it would naturally be better.
"My Lord, other techniques require dual cultivation, only this one has different volumes. As for whether non-humans can practice... I don't really understand, but it's not easy for demons to practice. If they don't use techniques but practice on their own, their progress will be very slow."
"Even if there is a problem, according to my Lord's situation, he can regain his body without any hindrance."
"Why not give it a try?"
Wanmianjing listed the factors one by one, with a mysterious excitement in his tone.
In short, there is no other method to choose now, so just use this one for now. If it doesn’t suit you in the future, just change your body.
Even if it doesn't fit, there's no big loss.
Luo Zheyu made up his mind and opened the martial arts technique in his mind.
"Hehuan Tianwu Jing" is not just words, it also contains a trace of divine thought, which is the key to the practice. It includes mysterious experiences, memories, and perceptions, allowing practitioners to practice the practice more completely.
Luo Zheyu's gaze fell on the fonts that were glowing with a faint silver light, and his mind followed the methods described in the book.
His comprehension ability was already high, and soon, the uncontrolled spiritual energy in the carp's body was gradually controlled and circulated within the body.
Luo Zheyu felt the spiritual energy, absorbed it and used it for his own benefit.
There was no conversation that night, he practiced all night long until the next day.
…
The sun rises.
The green grass leaves and tree branches were covered with dew, flickering with faint light. The sun climbed up step by step, and the increasingly strong sunlight penetrated the light mist and fell on the earth.
Mi Xin scooped up some water from the river and drank a few sips, then washed her face, rubbed the mud on her clothes yesterday with water, and picked some wild fruits to eat.
She stretched her body in the sunshine and continued on her way, walking along the river bank toward upstream.
She also didn't know where the road ahead would lead her, whether there was a road at all, or what she would encounter.
But the lower reaches of the river were a valley, and she could not find the path through the mountains and fields. She would get lost in it and encounter wild beasts. She could only walk upstream and see how the situation progressed.
We were tired and walked slowly along the river bank where there was no cleared path.
The red carp is hidden under the river water, only occasionally revealing a little tail fin or scales, reflecting the sparkling light under the abundant sunlight.
Compared to Mi Xin walking on the shore, the red carp naturally swam faster in the river, but Luo Zheyu did not offer to give her a ride.
Some things have to be experienced by the other party themselves. Luo Zheyu doesn't think she needs help. The rest of her life is still long. Unless she can find someone to help her with everything, it is better to do it herself.
The trees along the way gradually increased in number, becoming denser and taller, and bushes grew around the river, making it lush and green.
The grass gradually grew taller, and there was an occasional rustling sound, as if some small animals were passing by.
On the path along the river, you can vaguely see footprints of various animals coming to drink water.
The sunlight was blocked by the leaves covering the overhead. The layer of fallen leaves was getting thicker and thicker, making a crunching sound when stepped on.
The forest was silent; even the unknown insects had stopped chirping.
The sun was shining brightly in the sky. Mi Xin walked among the trees, feeling the coolness and a bit eerie.
She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she always felt that she was being stared at without realizing it. Somewhere in the dense darkness, there seemed to be a pair of malicious eyes looking at her quietly.
She felt a chill on her back and a few drops of cold sweat slid down her forehead. As she walked, she got closer and closer to the river bank.
Only the red carp under the river can bring a sense of security.
Even if the carp did not appear on the surface of the river, just knowing its existence made Mi Xin feel at ease.
As I walked forward, the feeling of being watched became stronger.
Mi Xin held a sharpened branch in one hand and a long sharp stone in the other, looked around vigilantly, and walked slowly forward.
There was no wind in the forest, the grass and trees were calm, even the small animals had stopped moving, everything was very peaceful.
It was so quiet that it was a little scary.
The air solidified at this moment, as if something extremely terrifying was slowly approaching here.
She seemed to be treated as a prey. The opponent was ready to strike, waiting for the opportunity to strike, and would kill her with one blow as soon as she revealed her weakness.
Mi Xin pursed her lips nervously, carefully walked around a towering tree that was blocking the road by the river, and focused her attention on the road beneath her feet.
Snap...
The sound of padded feet on brittle leaves came from the right rear.
Mi Xin turned back suddenly.
I saw a brown and yellow cat over one meter long leaping high, showing its sharp claws, and rushing towards her with a dazzling wind.
It has black horizontal stripes all over its body, a big round head, short and round ears, strong and powerful limbs, and a thick, long black striped tail behind it.
"roar--"
The big cat opened its mouth and roared, showing its fangs. Gusts of fishy wind blew in the face, and its momentum was so powerful that the surrounding bushes swayed backwards, rustling.
The vertical pupils were fixed on Mi Xin, emitting a fierce light.
If she was pounced on by this big cat, the first step would be to lose half a pound of flesh from her body, as her sharp claws would dig into her flesh and she would be pressed to the ground. The second step would be for the big cat to lower its head and open its mouth to bite her neck, and within two breaths, her life would be over.
Mi Xin was so frightened that her legs went limp and she fell to the ground. She tried to roll a few times like a donkey to avoid the attack.
Crash...
Suddenly, there was a sound of splashing water in the river behind me, and a large amount of water was stirred.
Mi Xin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and the heart that had been stuck in her throat finally fell back down, knowing that she was saved again.
A huge red carp leaped out of the water and jumped towards the shore, exactly in the direction where the big cat pounced.
The round fish eyes and vertical pupils look at each other.
“Ouch—”
"Woo~"
The big cat was stunned, and the tone of its roar suddenly changed. It quickly twisted its body in mid-air, refusing to continue rushing forward and colliding with the red carp.
It had never seen such a strange giant creature.
The head and body were connected together, but there wasn't even a leg!
Of course, the most important thing is that the other party exudes a sense of danger, and at the same time, an invisible pressure spreads from the riverside.
The big cat even saw some warning in those round dark eyes.
It was not very hungry, so there was no need to risk its life to hunt such a dangerous creature.
In nature, injuries are serious matters and can result in death, so big cats rarely hunt prey they are not sure of.
The red carp's tail twisted, and the whole body twisted into a "U" shape, and the tail finally hit the big cat.
Snap...
A soft sound.
Amidst the splashing water, the big cat was blown away and fell to the ground.
The force was not strong, it just caused the opponent to be shaken a little.
The red carp also fell to the ground.
Mi Xin got up from the ground, feeling a little worried. Fish cannot survive and move out of water. As we all know, how can a red carp of such a large size get back to the river after it comes ashore?
What would I do if I were roasted into a dried fish by the scorching sun?
Just as I was about to go forward to take a look, I saw the red carp whipping the ground with its tail again. The whole fish moved with the force, leaped into the air, and with a loud "plop", splashed water into the sky, and fell back into the river.
On the other side, after the big cat landed and adjusted its body, it saw the red carp leaving, stared at Mi Xin with its vertical pupils, licked its sharp teeth with its red tongue, eager to try, and still refused to give up.
Mi Xin was nervous, so she picked up a handful of crushed soil and threw it at the big cat.
“Get lost!”
The big cat narrowed its eyes slightly, and the mud and sand posed no obstacle to it.
With its body crouched low, its front paws pressed to the ground and slightly bent, it was just about to make another charge to hunt the two-legged beast when it saw a golden-red head quietly emerging from the river behind the two-legged beast.
Two bright fish eyes stared at it.
Do you dare to move?
The big cat's body froze, but it still stayed where it was and confronted Mi Xin, coveting Mi Xin's body and refusing to leave.
At this moment, black smoke appeared out of nowhere and quickly gathered above the river bank. In a blink of an eye, it formed a huge face, completely covering the world.
The huge black face glared at the big cat fiercely and rushed towards it, with its eyes bulging and its ferocious mouth wide open, revealing a hideous and bloody face.
"roar--"
There was a deafening roar that echoed throughout the heavens and earth.
"Awooo!" In an instant, the big cat's hair seemed to explode. It flicked its tail, turned around and ran away. After a few leaps, it disappeared without a trace.
Mi Xin relaxed and sat down on the ground, her violent heartbeat refusing to subside.
She looked behind her and saw only circles of waves and ripples on the seemingly calm water surface.
"Thank you, you saved me again!"
Mi Xin's eyes were red and she shouted at the water.
…
In a blink of an eye, it was already the fifth day.
Mi Xin didn't sleep well and lost weight, but she seemed in good spirits. Her skin became darker, her facial features were more prominent, her eyes were bright, and her movements were more agile than at the beginning.
During this time, she caught wild pheasants and rabbits, and cooked them with salt and clam shells thrown into the river by carp.
When she was picking pine nuts, she was besieged by a group of squirrels. In the end, the squirrels won and she fled with a dozen pine nuts.
Then he met a lone old red-faced monkey.
Perhaps because she was too embarrassed after being besieged by the squirrels, the red-faced old monkey mistook her for a companion and gave her half a sweet potato tuber with tooth marks on it.
Now the red-faced old monkey always pulls Mi Xin's hair to help her check for lice.
Mi Xin was helpless, but she was still very happy to have a companion along the way.
Although the red carp also quietly accompanies her, he is gentle and steady, and can bring her infinite sense of security, but he is always distant and rarely appears, making people afraid to get close to him.
Maybe all monsters are like this.
Except for that ugly clam monster.
Mi Xin said in her heart.
…
Boom boom...
There was a faint sound of water in the distance.
As we moved forward, the river became faster and faster.
The red carp poked its head out of the river, looked ahead, and then silently dived back into the water.
Another half day passed.
Mi Xin dragged the red-faced old monkey to the place where the sound of water came from.
She stared blankly at the waterfall rushing down in front of her, her heart filled with shock.
It was as if a hole had been broken in the sky, and when I looked up I saw a huge stream of water pouring down at right angles and merging into a pool shrouded in mist.
"Oh my goodness ..."
She murmured.
"It's worth it, it's totally worth it, I didn't take the wrong path."
The villagers all have a reverence for the river, as can be seen from their worship of the river god. Mi Xin was inevitably contaminated by it.
It was the first time I saw such a magnificent waterfall, and I could only describe it with amazement.
Mi Xin walked towards the waterfall, wanting to get closer to see it.
“Chichichichi!”
The red-faced old monkey grabbed her hand, sat on the ground, and dragged her back, scratching his ears and cheeks in anxiety.
"Don't be afraid, Jiji. Let's go over and take a look, just one look."
Mi Xin comforted it.
“Chichichichi!”
The red-faced old monkey disagreed and started pulling her clothes back.
"I'm not taking you to jump into the river, what are you afraid of... Hey, stop pulling! I only have this set of clothes, if you tear it, it will be over!"
"Okay, okay... I won't go. Hey, look, there's a tree with a lot of fruits over there. They look delicious. Can you pick two for me?"
Mi Xin pointed to a fruit tree behind and said.
The red-faced old monkey looked in the direction she pointed, saw the fruit, immediately understood what was going on, and pulled Mi Xin over.
It jumped up the tree in two or three steps, picked a slightly red fruit, took a bite, and seemed to think it tasted good. It kept the bitten fruit in its mouth, stretched out its arms to grab other fruits and threw them down the tree.
"Jiji, that's great! Please pick more~"
Mi Xin shouted exaggeratedly while running towards the waterfall.
"There's a red one over there, pick that one!"
"Jiji is so awesome!"
She stood under the waterfall, listening to the rumbling sound of the water and the mist hitting her face.
Crash...
The familiar sound of water came from beside me.
Turning my head, I saw a huge red carp breaking out of the water.
"Mr. Carp, long time no see."
Mi Xin greeted with a smile.
Luo Zheyu nodded to her.
Although to the other party, it just looked like the carp's head was shaking up and down.
"There's a snake in that tree. You'd better go back and check."
He let the mirror transmit the message.
"Ah?" Mi Xin was stunned for a moment, then reacted and turned to look.
The sound of the waterfall was too loud just now so I couldn't hear it. The red-faced old monkey was holding onto a branch and screaming.
A blue-black spotted snake coiled around a branch, slowly spitting its snake tongue at the red-faced old monkey, blocking its way.
Mi Xin panicked and rushed over in a panic. He ran so fast and so quickly that he almost tripped and fell to the ground, and rushed out on his chin.
As she ran closer, her heart was beating so fast that it seemed like it was going to jump out of her throat, and her throat was so dry that it was almost smoking.
The blue-black spotted snake coiled around the branch and slowly crawled towards the red-faced old monkey.
After a few days of traveling, Mi Xin realized that panicking was of no use and the only thing she could do was to find a way to solve the current dilemma.
Looking around, she picked up a dead branch from the ground and compared it to the blue-black snake wrapped around the tree trunk.
My hands are shaking badly.
Every time the snake crawled a little, she got goose bumps all over her body.
She is afraid of snakes.
"Don't be afraid, Jiji. Don't move. I'll beat it down!"
Mi Xin swallowed and tentatively squeezed the dry branch in her hand with her other hand, preparing to hit the snake.
Click...
With a gentle pinch, the branch broke into two pieces, making a crisp sound.
If you use such a branch to hit a snake without testing it first, you will definitely not be able to hit the snake. Instead, the snake will be frightened, and the consequences will be disastrous.
Mi Xin was about to cry.
God won’t play tricks on people like this.
She quickly squatted down and found another branch. This time it was much stronger and at least she couldn't break it.
“Chichichichichi!!!”
The red-faced old monkey screamed in panic.
Once upon a time, when it was still a little monkey, it also caught the snake's tail and teased it.
But ever since he saw a monkey with limited mobility who was bitten by a snake and gradually stopped breathing and lost his life because he walked too slowly and could not dodge in time, the red-faced old monkey has developed a psychological trauma towards snakes.
"Don't be afraid... don't move..."
Mi Xin murmured softly, staring at the snake's movements carefully, looking for the angle from which to hit it away with a stick.
Bang!
The branch hit the middle of the snake's body, and with all the strength, it was slammed off the tree trunk.
“Aaaaaaah!!”
The moment the branch hit the snake, Mi Xin got goosebumps all over her body and screamed. She caught the red-faced old monkey that jumped down from the tree and ran away, leaving the tree behind, fearing that the snake would come back for revenge.
Under the waterfall, the red carp in the pool turned around to look at her, but when it saw that she and the red-faced old monkey were safe and sound, it ignored them.
He looked up over the waterfall.
This waterfall is more than 30 meters high, with a wide flow and amazing impact.
A hundred meters above the waterfall, there is an incredibly magnificent view.
It was a door shining with golden light, hanging in the air.
If ordinary people hear the loud sound of the waterfall, then in his ears, he hears another sound and sees another scene.
The sound of water is deafening, surging and exciting.
Above the waterfall, there is a roaring stream of water, like a dancing dragon or millions of wild horses galloping, with potential energy that overturns rivers and seas and thunder. The long river rolls away and connects with the sky, like the water of the Milky Way rolling down, with thousands of waves surging and splashing, like reality and fantasy.
"This is……"
Luo Zheyu asked softly, but before he could finish, he suddenly closed his eyes, adjusted his whole body condition, and mobilized every inch of strength, ready to go.
"My Lord, you have only been practicing for a short time. Now is not the right time."
"Why not give it a try?"
The red carp opened its eyes and looked at the dazzling golden door, its eyes full of eagerness and fighting spirit.
"My Lord, this dragon gate cannot be jumped easily... If you jump over it, you will be reborn, but if you fail to jump over it, you will be seriously injured at best, or even die directly."
The Mirror advised.
He felt it was not very safe.
"Is this dragon gate always here?"
Luo Zheyu asked.
"That's not the case. As far as I know, the Dragon Gate only appears at a specific time, usually... once every ten years, and lasts for three days. If this world is the same, I'm afraid it's just a coincidence that I encountered it this time."
"Ten years... I can't wait for these ten years."
"My Lord, ten years is not a long time. A hundred years is enough for cultivation..."
"You don't need to persuade me. I must try my luck today. Otherwise, it will be a pity for me to leave one day."
"Besides, although I have only been practicing for a short time, the power I possess is not just from practice."
After saying this, the red carp stopped talking, circulated the spiritual energy in its meridians, and brought all the energy in its body to one place.
Seeing that he would not listen and insisted on giving it a try, Wanmianjing stopped talking.
Luo Zheyu was right. He might not be able to stay in this world for another ten years. If he missed this opportunity, he would miss it forever.
Even if I become a powerful person one day in the future and may be able to come back, I cannot turn into a carp and go back to that time.
