Nine Heavenly Towers
4: Silver Ring
After all, this night was a sleepless night, Xuan Mu no longer had the energy for the day, lying on the bed with a sick look.There were a lot of thoughts in his mind, and many pictures flashed one after another. He thought of many people, but without his parents, he didn't know what his parents were like.
He thought of his partner, that dark kid named Xu He.It's a pity that he doesn't have spiritual roots, so he has no chance to come to Kunlun with him.
He even thought of the old man who gave him a string of rosary beads, which were sandalwood rosary beads.He held the rosary in his hand, and many thoughts flickered in his mind.
The little guy thought of the fairy peach on Dengtian Peak, and he was so hungry right now.So he sneaked out of the room, intending to go to Dengtian Peak to steal a fairy peach to eat.
However, he had just walked to the front yard.The white moonlight shone in the courtyard, allowing him to see the snow lotus flowers in the courtyard, and the blooming snow lotus flowers were especially brilliant.He glanced at it, then picked off a lotus flower, peeled off a petal and chewed it, feeling a bit bitter.
Xuan Mu didn't feel bitter at all, but ate with relish.Then go straight to the outside of the Taoist temple. Outside the Taoist temple, there is only the air-conditioning that permeates the world, and there is nothing else.Xuan Mu looked at it and was silent for a long time, then shook his head and walked towards the Taoist temple.
He turned around in the Taoist temple, and then walked towards the kitchen in the Taoist temple.Inside the kitchen, there was a pile of ashes.To Xuanmu's surprise, there are still some rice noodles here.
However, these rice noodles are a bit old.If it wasn't for the cold weather around the Taoist temple and the absence of rats, there would have been none of these rice noodles left.Fortunately, he found Huozhezi and lit a fire.Roasted over a fire, the stale brown rice was sautéed.
"Huh?" Xuanyan was falling asleep when she suddenly smelled a tangy fragrance and woke up suddenly. "In the middle of the night, that foodie must be looking for something to eat."
She simply put on her clothes and followed the scent.
With a sound of "squeak", Xuan Mu who was eating fried rice flakes immediately jumped up while the fire was burning in surprise, and the fried rice flakes in the bowl spilled all over the floor.
"Hehe, little junior brother. Are you warming up by the fire here?" As soon as Xuan Yan came in, she saw Xuan Mu stealing food, but she didn't make it clear in her words.
"It's you! It scared me. I thought it was some kind of lonely ghost somewhere." Xuanmu didn't have any good words in his mouth, and he didn't swear with dirty words.
"You're a lonely ghost! What about fried rice crackers? It's true that you are a foodie." Xuanyan pouted and said, glanced around, walked to the side of the clay stove, took a stool and sat down.He picked up a bowl casually, and unceremoniously filled a spoonful of fried rice crackers.
"Senior sister, you are too impolite."
"From now on, we will be sisters and brothers, why are you being polite?" Xuan Yan found a high-sounding reason for herself.
"Really? When the senior sister eats cakes in the afternoon, there is no sympathy between the senior sister and the younger brother." Xuanmu couldn't help asking back in a strange tone.
"Oh, did you eat pancakes in the afternoon? Why don't I remember?" Xuan Yan looked at Fang Liang and laughed.
"Forget it, I don't care about you. You won't be able to eat those few cakes for long, and we will have to rely on this bag of rice in the future."
"You mean we have to do our own basic necessities in the future? Does the master not care about us?"
"Nonsense, master is not our biological parents." Xuan Mu suddenly looked at Xuan Yan like an idiot.
"Aha...! Woohooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo L low L L L L L LThen suddenly remembered something, said: "Where are you from?"
"I'm from Yangzhou. What about you? It looks a bit like Chang'an, Kyoto."
"How did you guess it? My family is rich. If you guarantee the food and drink for the senior sister in the future, after the senior sister goes down the mountain, I will definitely ask my father to take care of your family." Xuanyan wanted to fool you with a word.
For some reason, Xuan Mu's expression was gloomy when he heard this, and he looked disappointed. After eating, he continued: "Let's talk about it tomorrow, the younger brother is going to sleep."
Although Xuanyan was a little puzzled, it was not easy to ask.When the two of them said this, they stopped talking.They went back to their rooms.Xuanyan didn't know that Xuanmu's family had no relatives, he was just an orphan who grew up eating hundreds of meals.For an orphan, this is undoubtedly a great pain.
However, when Xuan Mu returned to the room, he blew out the candles in the room.Xuan Yan also went back to the room and fell asleep peacefully.At this time, Xuan Mu sneaked out of the wing room again, and walked slowly to the front yard, lingering in the front yard all the time.
At noon, he discovered that there was something wrong with this suet jade pillar. Although he didn't feel what the problem was, he faintly felt that there was an aura in his body that was the same as the aura emanating from that suet jade pillar.
He walked slowly around the mutton fat jade column, and it was crystal clear.The more it is under the moonlight, the more translucent it appears.
A lotus sculpture emitting elegant silver light caught Xuanmu's attention, and he slowly looked at the place carved with the pattern of snow lotus.He looked at the carving quietly, the carving was slightly cloudier than other places.He stroked it slowly with his right hand, and suddenly his fingers trembled when he touched the lotus stamen.
With a flash of his gaze, he clicked on the pistil with a little bit of interest. Suddenly, the petals popped open, and there was actually a ring embedded in it.
Xuan Mu stared at the ring calmly, not intending to take it.Instead, he found a piece of sandalwood, and carefully picked up the ring with the sandalwood.The ring fell to the ground with a bang.The carved snow lotus pattern immediately bounced back, and there was no trace of movement at all.
A quaint ring fell to the ground, and he was still considering whether to pick it up with his hands.In the end, he wrapped the ring with his clothes. It was a silver ring. After rubbing it with his clothes, there was nothing attached to the surface.
This silver ring is inlaid with a white opal, which is perfectly round.There is a bit of jet black ink in the center.
Still worried, he wrapped the ring in his clothes and placed it in the snow.Immediately, the white snow water turned into a large expanse of black, and the black continued to spread.Xuan Mu knew something was wrong at this time, and quickly put away the ring wrapped in his clothes.Then he quickly ran out of the Taoist temple and slowly lowered it into the snowdrift.
Immediately, a strange phenomenon appeared, and the large expanse of white snow around the silver ring immediately turned black.Like a slump of ink, it slowly flows towards the foot of the mountain.
Finally, when the snow around him didn't respond anymore, Xuan Mu used another piece of cloth to be torn from his clothes.After rubbing the ring clean, he dared to slowly put it on the middle finger of his right hand.
After he got the ring, he was ecstatic and ran back to his room to sleep.
Early the next morning, Xuan Mu felt something was wrong.Quickly got up, and heard Yun Lan's voice outside the door. "Xuan Mu, I'm waiting for you in the front hall as a teacher. I'll teach you how to practice the wood system later."
As soon as Yun Lan said that she wanted to teach cultivation practice, her eyes suddenly opened.Rolling over from the bed, he rushed into the front hall like a rabbit.
"Morning, master!"
Xuan Yan had already stood straight on one side, cast a contemptuous glance at Xuan Mu, and said nothing.
"Okay, today I will teach you the mental method of the Qi refining period." Yun Lan said, and handed the two jade slips in her hand to Xuan Yan and Xuan Mu respectively. "This is your mental method, one is the ice-based mental method "Bing Xin Jue", and the other is the wood-based mental method "Longevity Heart Method"."
"Ah, is this a jade slip?" Xuan Mu asked suspiciously.
Of course, this is a jade slip in the Kunlun School.If it is in other sects, it must be bamboo slips or sheepskin scrolls.The reason why the Kunlun School is so rich is that Hetian jade is produced from the foot of the Kunlun Mountains, so there is a lot of jade.
"Are you illiterate?" Xuan Yan asked suddenly.
"Who is illiterate? Who do you think is illiterate? Isn't this the longevity of Shouyue and the standing of green pines?" Xuan Mu immediately pointed to the words on the jade slip and retorted.
"Stop arguing, both of you. Since you are both literate, I won't explain too much. Just follow my example and practice. Remember, you have to be pure-minded and forget everything in practice. Only when you have no distracting thoughts in your mind can you move your mind at will. You are all Children with spiritual roots naturally don’t need to open up their spiritual veins, they only need to practice with this mental method, and they can communicate with the world and absorb the spiritual energy of the world.” After Yun Lan finished speaking, she sat cross-legged on the spot and meditated.
The two children imitated Yun Lan and sat down cross-legged. After Yun Lan showed them the mental method, she asked them to close their eyes and hold their breath, and silently recited the method in their hearts.The aura that the two of them inhaled guides the circulation of the major meridians in the body.
With the gradual guidance of breathing, Xuanmu felt a stream of warm currents entering his body, and finally stayed in Zifu.
This made Xuanmu's eyes brighten up, and he started breathing again.Sure enough, another warm current entered the meridians in the body, but it did not stay in Zifu, but gradually dissipated.This also made him a little annoyed.
However, he quickly adjusted his mentality and continued to vomit.
As he gradually breathed out, he seemed to have entered a state of concentration without any discomfort.Time passed slowly like this for a long time, and it was night again in the blink of an eye.
"Xuanmu, Xuanyan. I went back to the room as a teacher. From now on, you will breathe as you did today and persevere. Coupled with your aptitude, you will definitely be able to break through the first floor within a month." Yun Lan suddenly stood up , Said and left.
Xuan Yan also opened her eyes suddenly, with a mournful face.Quickly ran to the toilet.
Xuan Mu is reminiscing about the feeling of breathing, but no matter how much he thinks about it, he can't remember what this feeling is like?It was an indescribable feeling.
Helpless, he ran towards the kitchen and worked for a long time.Ended up cooking a pot of rice and it was done.Xuanyan also came, so he had to share the meal with Xuanyan.After he wolfed it down, he went back to his room.
"I'm so hungry today, go to bed earlier. Become a fairy, can you really become a fairy? Tomorrow, the master will leave us alone, so I will go down the mountain to find something to eat." He muttered and lay on the bed.
He thought of his partner, that dark kid named Xu He.It's a pity that he doesn't have spiritual roots, so he has no chance to come to Kunlun with him.
He even thought of the old man who gave him a string of rosary beads, which were sandalwood rosary beads.He held the rosary in his hand, and many thoughts flickered in his mind.
