i have a sword fairy

Chapter 40
Zhongnan Mountain is worthy of being a former Taoist blessed land, and it is indeed Zhong Lingyuxiu.

Along the way, Zhao Rong has witnessed a lot of strange people and interesting things. In conclusion, there are more than three.

First, there are many hermits.

When a group of three people are walking on the steep and dangerous road between the cliffs or the secluded winding path in the lush mountain forest, they can see the reclusive monks sitting cross-legged on the caves or bluestones, sucking dew in the meal and living the life. Years in the mountains.

Second, there are many Taoists.

This Zhao Rong has long known. After all, Zhongnan Kingdom is a country of Taoist priests. Every village or town that Zhao Rong passes by has Taoist temples, and the incense is flourishing. You can see the ancient temples that have been cleaned up and enshrined statues that Zhao Rong doesn't know.

The people of Zhongnan Kingdom are indeed very faithful, but Zhao Rong is also slightly surprised, because according to what he saw, although Zhongnan Mountain is fertile, but there is not much flat land suitable for arable land and convenient life. The various Taoist temples are magnificent, but some of them are indeed labor-intensive.

But he just thought about it when he was distracted. Anyway, he was just passing by, and he didn't need to worry about it.

The third is that there are many Confucian scholars, or more famous scholars.

This was something Zhao Rong didn't expect, but after walking for a while, Zhao Rong gradually realized that although Zhongnan Kingdom set Taoism as the state religion, it did not exclude Confucian scholars, and many middle and lower-level officials were Confucian scholars. The lord of Zhongnan, who said he likes alchemy, often invites some famous Confucian scholars to help in governing the country.

Well, a monarch who likes alchemy but is also a nurse.Zhao Rong couldn't help laughing.

However, this phenomenon has also created a special Confucian atmosphere in Zhongnan, and cultivated a romantic celebrity who complemented Confucianism and Taoism.

Along the way, Zhao Rong has seen a high-ranking scholar who is bare-chested and showing off his breasts, drinking and singing wildly; he has seen a scholar who has gone nowhere and crying in despair; he has seen a madman who takes medicine powder and proselytizes in the daytime in front of a bamboo forest and wooden house.

I have seen a group of celebrities in the high mountains and high mountains, where the bamboo trees are cultivated, looking for a clear stream, flowing water, drinking and talking, talking and talking, and even when Zhao Rong and the three passed by, a drunken person saw Zhao Rong dressed as a scholar, Holding a cup in one hand and a pen in the other, he stepped forward to invite Zhao Rong to drink and write poetry together, but Zhao Rong declined, smiled and drank a glass of wine before continuing on his way.

"This Zhongnan Kingdom is really interesting, but I'm just a passerby, not a returnee." Zhao Rong said softly.

This forthright and outspoken style of behavior reminded him of the Wei and Jin Dynasties.Maybe if you get tired of the world later, it would be good to come here to retreat?
"What's so interesting? Why are they so shy? Just now Xiaoxiao saw a red-faced person taking off his clothes and playing a hooligan... What kind of weird place is this." The little fox demon frowned. His tone was embarrassed and annoyed, but his face was like a peach blossom, red in white.

Zhao Rong looked at her pink and tender face and wanted to pinch it lightly, but she just thought about it. If she really dared to pinch, she would probably fry, just like she accidentally touched her hand last time. , and do not know where her grandmother is holy.

Although Su Xiaoxiao was a little crazy, she listened to her grandmother's words very much. There were too many "grandmother's sayings" that came out of her mouth. Fox demons aren't that stupid.

"Zhao Rong, don't imitate them to be hooligans."

"Can reading personnel be called a hooligan?" Zhao Rong looked serious.

"What's that called?" The little fox demon widened his eyes.

"It's called unruly, it's naked and natural." Zhao Rong said in a leisurely tone. "With heaven and earth as the building, mountains and forests as pants, Su Xiaoxiao, why are you in my pants?"

"Bah!" Su Xiaoxiao blushed, turned her head away and ignored him. "Zhao Rong, Xiaoxiao doesn't care about you, you can learn badly."

But after speaking, it seemed that he was really angry, the little fox demon bit his lower lip, and for the first time summoned up the courage to reach out and punch Zhao Rong "severely".

Being punched by Fan, Zhao Rong covered his chest with both hands, his expression painful.

"What kind of boxing is this, so powerful and domineering!"

"Are you all right?" Su Xiaoxiaoqiao's face turned pale. "I just touched it lightly."

"Don't come here, Huxian spare your life! Your lord does not remember the villain's deeds, the prime minister can hold a boat in his stomach, the moon falls and the sky is full of frost, and the husband and wife both return their homes..."

Su Xiaoxiao: "???"

----

The three of Zhao Rong spent the night in a farmhouse. The next day, Zhao Rong croaked, and after practicing for a while, he started his daily boxing practice.

"Negative Mountain" has five-style boxing stakes.

Riding a dragon upside down, tying a sword furnace, bending the elbows, taking a short step, lazily tying clothes.

At present, Zhao Rong is practicing the sword-piercing furnace, which is a kind of fingering method. Ten fingers are ligated into a hand shape, of which nine fingers form a furnace for forging swords, and the other finger is used as a sword for tempering.

According to Liu Sanbian, when he entered the deep mountains to practice boxing when he was young, he tied a sword furnace to protect against the cold of night.

Zhao Rong practiced hard for a while, and when it was getting late, he stopped.

"Brother Sanbian said that there are three levels of Ascension to the Heavens: Jinshi, Qingxu, and Zhenyi. At present, I already have a sense of Qi, and I am in the Jinshi period. Standing and taking medicinal baths are all for the purpose of tempering my muscles and bones."

"If you want to break through to clear emptiness, you must find that mouth of innate vitality. Innate vitality is the most fundamental energy of the body. Everyone has it, but the strength is different. Because of my physical problem, the innate vitality is very weak, so It is extremely difficult to find, and the reason why I am fortunately tempering my physique is to strengthen it in the future.”

"Hey, I don't know when I can get to Qingxu."

Zhao Rong sighed and suddenly remembered that someone seemed to have not spoken for a long time.

"Hey, go, what are you doing?"

After being silent for a while, Gui's voice sounded in the heart lake. I don't know if it was Zhao Rong's illusion. It was still very deep, but it was not as hoarse as before, and it seemed to be a little crisper?
In fact, if you listen to it every day, you might not feel anything, but during these days, Zhao Rong was busy practicing the exercises and traveling, and he had no time to communicate, so when he heard the voice of Gui at this time, he could clearly perceive the difference.

"Recently, this seat has recovered a bit. Thanks to your physical tempering and medicinal bath in the Golden Stone Realm, your spirit has grown a bit, and Fuya is relying on your soul, so this seat has also recovered, um, You keep practicing."

"When can I find my innate vitality?"

"I'm not sure, your innate vitality is weak, and now you can only grow it fully, and you can find it naturally after a certain level. Before that, unless there is an accident, it is impossible to find it in advance."

"If it grows naturally, how long will it take?"

"According to your current practice progress...about a year."

"So slow? How about from Qingxu to Zhenyi?"

"It's also a year."

"Then from Zhenyi breakthrough to Fuyao."

"A year and a half, um, what I'm talking about is no accident, and you're not bad luck."

"That's too slow..."

Suddenly, Zhao Rong seemed to remember something. "Uh, I remember that it took her about four years to ascend to the realm of the sky, so I'm pretty fast."

Zhao Rong was instantly full of energy and felt that his future cultivation life could be expected.

"Who is she?" Gui sneered, "How can she give you such confidence?"

After he finished speaking, Gui said in a contemptuous tone, "Ascension to the Heaven Realm for four years, huh, even if it is a waste material with the worst cultivation aptitude, as long as it is not the kind of congenitally defective body, practicing at the level of hard work you are now, it will be fine. It's only three and a half years, and she still has four years? What a waste."

Worst?Three and a half years?Zhao Rong felt that there was something wrong with what he said, but he couldn't care about it anymore because he had bigger doubts.

"She is Qing Jun... Concubine Zhao Ling."

Zhao Rong was stunned.
