Do you think I look like a fairy?

Chapter 496 Cultivation
This Zhongnan Mountain is also a bit interesting to say, among the Taoist sects, it is also a well-known holy place for cultivating immortals.

Especially in this world today.

All the famous mountains and rivers are basically occupied by those powerful martial arts sects.

Those who can really cultivate, or pursue longevity instead of martial arts, are mostly located in the center of Kyushu, which is Yuzhou directly controlled by the imperial court.

Yuzhou is located in the core of Kyushu.

It is the place where the capital of the imperial court is located!
There are eight directions, up, down, left, right, front, back, and back, each with a big state guard, who can send troops to any big state at any time.

It is a bit too much to say that it is coming from the morning and the evening, but the army can definitely march around, and can capture and kill the enemy in a moment.

so.

In the entire Yuzhou, in all the well-known mountain forests, or relatively deep mountain forests, there are people who live in seclusion and practice in them.

After all, it is safe under the feet of the Son of Heaven!

Speaking of which, that's a bit of a big deal.

Although it is said that each of the eight sects has a part of its tentacles, it slowly penetrates into Yuzhou.

But they still have a lot of awe for the imperial power, like the six gates that suppress the Jianghu, the Jinyiwei, and when they encounter them, they are like mice seeing cats.

After all, Yuzhou is not their territory.

Even in the core areas of their respective sects, when they met Jin Yiwei and Six Doors, they had to wait on them carefully.

no way.

The seven-rank official in front of the prime minister's gate.

Not to mention that this is a person who can directly go to Datianting, except for elders and masters who can treat each other as equals.

The vast majority of disciples, such as the elites of the inner sect, have to be careful when dealing with ordinary people of the six sects.

There is a saying that is good.

Can't deal with those masters, and can't deal with you, a little disciple?

For today's thriving imperial court with abundant military power but unfailing literature, the imperial power still has absolute control over the entire land of Kyushu!

At this moment, their Zhongnan Mountain is located in the south-southwest corner of Yuzhou, close to Liangzhou, and also close to Jingzhou and Yangzhou.

The top sect in Jingzhou is Qianyuan Mountain Taiyimen, and Yangzhou is Bodhi Temple, which is often called Bodhi Temple.

If you count the Qiyunshan Gucang faction in Liangzhou, it is basically directly close to the four major states and the four sects.

Therefore, there are naturally more monks from all over the world who come here for fame.

In this day and age.

It is even more so in the entire Kyushu nowadays, where there is a well-known Youdao True Cultivator's hidden cultivation place, and almost casually encounter old men who sweep the floor, they are all insightful people who can give advice.

It can be said that it is a joke, there are great Confucian contacts but no white men.

After all, let alone ordinary people going up to cultivate, it would be good if they could not starve to death in the mountains and forests.

Especially since Zhongnan Mountain is close to Yuzhou, basically the movements of the imperial court can be heard on Zhongnan Mountain.

Therefore, there are also many so-called seekers and lovers who first went there as hermits for a period of time, and then were conscripted into the palace.

This is what is often referred to as the shortcut to the end.

Ado.

All I saw was Wei Yi riding a horse across the long path, and finally came to what seemed to be a relatively prosperous town at the end of the road.

A place like this at the foot of the emperor is definitely a place with incomparable prosperity.

What's more, the Taoists who practiced Taoism on Zhongnan Mountain are not the kind of people who don't eat the fireworks of the world.

From time to time, I have to come down to buy food.

So there are naturally many grain and oil stores at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain.

First rest here for two days.

Then he took the horse he rode over to a farmer's family at the bottom of the mountain, and gave him some money so that he could feed him some good things.

Afterwards, Wei Yi tidied up his luggage, and walked slowly along the path towards Zhongnan Mountain.

The reason not to take the road.

That's because the avenues in some parts of Zhongnan Mountain have been occupied by many so-called officials who seek Taoism and health preservation, as well as noble lords.

In this day and age, if you are truly called a high-spirited person, you can go to as many remote places as you can.

If you can go to a place with few people, go to a place with few people. If you can't find anyone, that's good.

So when you see a place is very lively and people come and go, you can conclude that in this day and age, this must not be a high-sounding truth.

After all, bosses like to be quiet.

Holding the map hand-painted by Elder Yuan in his hand, Wei Yi followed one of the paths and shuttled among the large forests and vegetation in Zhongnan Mountain.

While walking, he also patted lightly on the grass and trees with his long sword.

This is called scaring the snake.

After all, if he was accidentally bitten by those poisonous insects and beasts in the forest, who would he ask for reason?
There are many heroic youths in this world, who are brought down by Mongolian sweat medicine before they come out of the rivers and lakes, and are killed by poison.

So say it discreetly.

Finally, after experiencing nine twists and eighteen bends, and walking through many small roads that are invisible to the naked eye, or even indistinguishable, Wei Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief:

"Finally found it~"

"It took a lot of effort to find such a hidden place in this mountain forest."

Looking forward.

I only saw a few small wooden houses in that small valley, which seemed to be very neatly organized.

There is also a small garden outside.

There are stone mills for planting some medicinal materials, and some daily necessities such as wooden bowls.

Not to mention anything else, just looking at this appearance, one can tell at a glance that he is definitely a hermit in the mountains.

However, before he could take a few steps forward, he saw an old man with white beard and hair wearing a crown walking up the path next to him.

Although the old man was wearing simple clothes without any silk and satin, the crown on his head was only polished with very ordinary wood.

But just by looking at it, one can know that he has an extraordinary bearing, and he is definitely an expert in the world.

And the old man who was walking over the path couldn't help laughing when he heard Wei Yi's emotion:
"The little guy said that well."

"In order to set up the Qimen Dunjia in Zhongnan Mountain, I have been operating here for more than 20 years."

"If there is no corresponding formation map, even those so-called masters of the rivers and lakes will get lost in the formation."

When he said this, the old man with white beard and hair, but with a face like a baby waved his big sleeves, and looked at the path Wei Yi walked over:
"Oh, so it's this way!"

"Who is that old fellow Yuan Cheng of yours?"

Hearing the old man say Elder Yuan's name, and listening to his series of words, Wei Yi naturally understood his identity.

Immediately afterwards, he clasped his fists in both hands, bowed slightly and said to the old man in front of him:
"Returning to Master Uncle, Master Yuan is the disciple's master."

"Now, the disciple came to ask the teacher uncle on the order of the master, and asked the teacher uncle to teach me."

After finishing speaking, he took out the letter from the backpack behind him, and finally put it in front of Master Zixiao respectfully with both hands raised.

Hearing what Wei Yi said, Master Zixiao also nodded with a smile:

"Let me just say, this guy is the only one who likes to walk this road. He doesn't want to take it even though there is a big road, so he has to find a way out of my strange armor."

"It really looks like his character."

After finishing speaking, Master Zixiao took the letter, then pointed to the cabins in the distance, and said:
"Okay, you little guy, don't stand here, let's go in and drink some water, let's rest and talk!"

"It just so happens that I am also in the mountains and forests, and I have just returned from harvesting energy, so I have to slow down."

After finishing speaking, the real Zixiao walked towards the direction of the wooden house alone.

see this scene.

Wei Yi also followed quickly.

Finally, Master Zixiao opened the door of that room, and then led Wei Yi in.

But when he saw all the decorations in the house, Wei Yi couldn't help being a little surprised.

After all, looking from the outside, there are only a few small broken houses connected together in the valley. They look shoddy, but they are just houses made by a hermit in the mountains and forests by himself.

But once you enter the house, it's amazing.

Good guy.

In the entire room, there is a Bagua map on the ground, and there is a way of yin and yang, which circulates in circles.

The wooden stools placed on the left and right sides all look bright and shiny, and the smell is even more fragrant.

These utensils are either huanghuali or red sandalwood, and the whole room is still burning with a refreshing fragrance.

Not only does it not have a choking smell, but it makes people feel that after inhaling it into the nostrils, the whole body is cooled and the spirit is lifted.

All kinds of jade objects, as well as paintings, are hung and placed in the correct position, which looks natural and vivid.

The windows on the left and right each have bright and soft light, which shines in and is reflected by the jade, making the room brighter and softer.

Ventilated and gas-gathering, gentle and nourishing.

It seems that this room has also undergone some special arrangements.

Although Wei Yi has never studied this jade calligraphy and painting, but just by looking at it, he can tell that the quality is extraordinary.

Many of them have ancient flavors and ancient rhymes.

At first glance, it is an expert with precipitation and background, and the change in the gap between the inside and the outside really gives people a sense of contrast.

Seeing Wei Yi's stunned look, Master Zi Xiao also understood why Wei Yi was surprised, and then greeted him:

"Nephew, sit down and rest for a while."

"Let me see what is written in your master's letter."

"If you really like the antique calligraphy and paintings in the room, you can take some with you when you leave."

"It's just things outside the body."

"Staying by my old man's side is not of much use."

Looking at his unrestrained movements and listening to what he said, Wei Yi believed that Zixiao was absolutely telling the truth.

After all, this real Zixiao is a real person enshrined in the royal family, especially because he is proficient in medical science and has the way of prolonging his life.

Almost the emperor's personal conditioner.

On the bright side, he is also a dignified real person, one of the flags on the bright face of today's Taoist practitioners.

The so-called gold, silver, pearls and jade are not in his eyes at all, and only some rare treasures can make him pay more attention to them.

Without him.

It's just too much knowledge!

Seeing Zixiao sizing up the letter, Wei Yi also slowly observed the whole house.

Of course, the main thing he looks at is the doors and windows, such as escape routes, so he has to look at them first.

Just in case~
After a while, Master Zixiao closed the letter in his hand, and then quietly looked at Wei Yi:
"Just put your hands on it."

While talking, he put a small hand pillow on the table and asked Wei Yi to put his hand on it.

Hearing this, Wei Yi quickly followed suit.

Immediately afterwards, Master Zixiao first pinched the veins of his left hand, and then pinched the veins of his right hand.

Then, he looked at Wei Yi with some suspicion:

"It really is a bit strange."

Immediately afterwards, he stroked his beard with his hand, and a smile appeared on his face:

"But it's not a big problem, it's just within the scope of Pindao's adjustment."

"If that's the case, then from now on, you should follow the old way and I will practice in the mountains and forests."

"It's just five breaths in the chest."

"The old Taoist priest's method of exhaling and breathing is just right."

that's it.

Wei Yi, who came to Zhongnan Mountain, directly practiced with Master Zixiao every day.

Of course, due to the entire Zhongnan Mountain, there are only two of them in this valley now.

So for cleaning, washing vegetables and cooking, as well as transporting rice, flour, grain and oil from the outside to the inside, this matter is left to Wei Yi.

There is quite a feeling of a Taoist boy.

Of course, among them, Wei Yi also gained a lot.

After all, this real person Zixiao really has real skills, a true cultivation, and his achievements in medicine are enough to be called a great master.

And it just so happened that Wei Yi liked medicine, and even said that he had studied it a little.

The two hit it off.

Wei Yi often asks Master Zixiao for advice, and Master Zixiao also often checks whether the basic knowledge of Wei Yi is solid.

Occasionally, they would go down the mountain, because some of the herbs they collected were given to the mountain people under the forest for free consultation.

It can be regarded as adding practical experience to Wei Yi.

Under the guidance of this great master, the national champion, Wei Yi has a deeper understanding of the Yin-Yang and Five Elements of the whole body, as well as the dialectics of the Eight Meridians.

But any thing that needs to be memorized and recited can be dabbled in within a short while in his hands.

It is also to make Master Zixiao call the child teachable.

They first walk three to five kilometers every day to the nearby mountain peaks to learn the art of breathing.

In the morning, I breathed out my vitality, and in the afternoon I polished my strength. Every day is considered to be a very satisfactory study arrangement.

When it comes to the technique of breathing and breathing, it is also extraordinary.

Although he doesn't have the kind of force that flies around and breaks mountains and rocks in this martial arts practice.

But it can really work on its own.

After in-depth understanding, Wei Yi finally understood that the real Zixiao in front of him was already in his eighties.

But at such an age, he can still walk like flying, and he can eat two bowls of rice for a meal, which is evident.

And really learn to breathe out.

Wei Yi found that the green dragon energy, which had been growing all the time, seemed to have really penetrated from the lungs to the space between the two kidneys.

Every night when I go to sleep, there seems to be the essence of kidney water flowing between the two kidneys, which only makes people feel warm.

Though it feels light every night.

But this vitality and vigor are really obvious day by day.

Of course, during this period of time, Wei Yi did not forget to practice swordsmanship, and even after finishing breathing every day, he would perform a set of Wu Qin Dao Yin.

The whole figure seems to be more vigorous.

And the green dragon energy, which has been growing all the time, seems to be more condensed, and it seems to be beneficial to the body.

And while the essence of kidney water was strengthening, he also felt that his hearing and eyesight were becoming more and more clear, and his body seemed to undergo another transformation.

It's just that, compared to the previous metamorphosis of the heart, this time it's more imperceptible and more difficult to detect.

that's it.

Before he knew it, he had practiced quietly in Zhongnan Mountain for three years.
