lead fades away

This time, the master still didn't get angry with him, and only brought him a jade slip recording the exercises and two bottles of bigu pills that night, and said: "When will the foundation be established and when will you go out!" Then he closed the door of the stone room. Shimen, turned and left.

He was worried about Mammy, but he couldn't open the stone door of the stone room even with his strength, even if he used spiritual power, he was helpless.After tossing around for a few days, he finally had to give up the idea of ​​going out and turn his energy back to cultivation.

——Since building a foundation is the only way to get out, let’s build it!

he thought angrily.

—Anyway, if he doesn't see Mammy after he goes out, then he won't stay in this place anymore.

—Anyway, he has long been able to hunt by himself, and he will not starve to death after all.

With this in mind, he finally calmed down and carefully read the exercises recorded on the jade slips.

This exercise is actually what the master taught him before, but it is more detailed and organized—at least, he thinks it is much clearer than what the master taught him in person.

In this way, he lived the most monotonous life in the stone room - practicing, sleeping, eating bigu pills, and so on.

Later, he thought, fortunately, he was young enough, naive enough, and free from distracting thoughts at that time, otherwise, if he was changed in the future, he might go crazy before he succeeded in building the foundation!

It was also in that stone room that he learned bigu without a teacher. The reason is also very simple: there is not enough bigu pills to eat.

At that time, he was too young and ignorant, he hadn't even learned the word resistance, he could only accept, bear and endure.If another time is changed, even if it is only ten or twenty years later, whoever dares to treat him like this again, as long as he can get out alive, that person will definitely have to be skinned, cramp, and ashes!

But at that time, he couldn't think of the word "killing" at all. All he could think of was building the foundation as soon as possible and going out to see the nanny.

Then, I don't know how long he stayed in this stone room with only one luminous pearl as the source of light. In short, one day, after a very long practice, he suddenly felt that he was different from the inside out. up.

The body became lighter, the aura in the meridians became smoother, the spiritual consciousness extended farther and farther, and even the consciousness became clearer.

——This is the foundation building, right?

He thought happily, and then found that his body and even his lower body were surrounded by filth, and even the crotch of his trousers was unconsciously filled with filth.

He hurriedly took off his clothes and everything, and used cleaning techniques to clean up the dirt on his body.Since he didn't have a second set of clothes around him, and the master didn't give him a storage bag to put things in, he had no choice but to walk out naked.

At this time, he also understood why the master would say "when to build the foundation and when to go out".After the foundation was established, he moved the stone door blocking the stone chamber aside with little effort, and saw the blue sky and the dazzling sun again.

But what made him most happy was that the nanny was still alive and still living in the wooden house outside the cave.Seeing him running out naked, Mammy first showed a look of surprise, then burst out laughing, and hurriedly turned around to find a suit of clothes and put them on for him.

The clothes were obviously much smaller, and it was uncomfortable to wear on the body.

Mammy smiled and took out another set of master's clothes, and while helping him change them, she praised him for finally growing up.

Only then did he realize that he had been imprisoned in the stone room for two years.

He didn't see the woman who was scalded by him with boiling water, and the master was not in the cave.After asking Mammy, I found out that the woman was sent away by Master on the day he was imprisoned, and Master did not return to the cave often since then, only bringing back some food for Mammy every once in a while, so that Mammy Not to be starved to death.

Hearing this, he couldn't help but come up with an idea, and immediately said loudly, "Mother, let's go down the mountain too! I have built the foundation now, and I can protect you!"

Mammy was taken aback for a moment, obviously thinking about it. After hesitating for a while, she finally agreed to his proposal.

Mammy spent another two days making two simple clothes for him, and prepared some dry food for herself, and then the two of them left the cave and went to the world beyond the mountain.

At that time, there were still many mortals living in the Upper Realm, and thanks to this, the journey for him and Mammy was not so difficult.If it is changed to thousands of years later, even if the nanny is also a female cultivator, it may be difficult for the two of them to end well.

After all, Mammy grew up among the crowd and didn't leave home until she was 20 years old. She was careful not to take him to too lively places, and only stayed in some small towns where mortals and monks lived together.Even so, he still gained a lot of insight and learned a lot of things that he couldn't know in the cave, and his master wouldn't let him know.

He has fasted, but Mammy still needs to eat.After eating up the dry food brought by the two, he went to hunt low-level spirit beasts, leaving a small amount of animal meat for Mammy to eat, and peeled off the skin and bones to exchange for spirit stones in the town.When he had accumulated enough spirit stones to buy a set of the lowest-level talisman-making tools, he began to make talismans. Although he couldn't sell them for much, it was safer, more convenient, and more stable than hunting spirit beasts.

During this period, they also encountered liars, robbers and other villains. Fortunately, there were not many who could bully the weak, and Mammy was extremely sensitive and scheming. Can save the day.

The two wandered outside like this for more than a year.He simply couldn't think of leaving, but after re-expanding his knowledge, the nanny wanted him to return to his master's cave and continue to practice.

"You also know that monks have to go through qi refining, foundation building, alchemy formation, infant formation, and god transformation before they can ascend to the fairy world to become a real immortal. But you have just established the foundation now, and you will not be able to do the following exercises. Master hasn't taught you yet!" Mammy touched his head, and seriously advised, "Go back, go back and study hard with your master for a few years, and then come out to practice."

"Master may not be much better than me." He couldn't help muttering.

After gaining insights, he realized that his master is not a real immortal, but just an older monk in the foundation-building period. Among those monks who are called "true people", he is more powerful than those who have just started cultivating. The novice in the Qi period is just a little bit better.Moreover, just because he is too old, the master has no hope of continuing to advance in the process of cultivation, and it is very likely that he will exhaust his lifespan and die before he can form the alchemy.

Death, this is also an extremely important thing he learned after he came out.

Not only spirit beasts are subject to death, but people are subject to death as well. They may die of old age, disease, or be killed by others.

When he and his mother were selling spirit beasts in a town, they once saw a male cultivator being smashed into a puddle of flesh by another cultivator in the street.Mammy was so frightened that she hurriedly blocked him behind her. She didn't remember that he was actually much stronger than her, and she had been hunting spirit beasts since she was a teenager, so she was used to blood.

When he saw that male cultivator died, he really didn't feel any strangeness at all.

——Perhaps, he is a ruthless person with a cold nature.

After a long time, when he was accused time and time again of using such words as "unrepentant, heartless, heartless" and so on, he couldn't help but have such thoughts.

Although he was very reluctant, he followed Mammy back to the cave.It's just that Mammy is just a mortal, and he doesn't have a spiritual weapon that can fly—even if he had one, he wouldn't be able to bring people to fly with him given his cultivation.

So, the two of them traveled long distances for more than half a year before returning to their long-lost cave.

As soon as he arrived at the cave, he saw his master's ashen face, and his body with half of his right arm missing.

Seeing them come back, the master obviously wanted to lose his temper, but when he saw his cultivation, the master's anger turned into surprise.Then, just like in the past, the master held back his temper again, and dragged his broken body back to the stone room without saying a word.

——Even if he wanted to lose his temper, he didn't dare anymore.

For a moment, he couldn't help thinking of this.

But since then, Master's guidance to him has not been as proactive as before.He went to ask for the exercises, but the master hesitated for a while, and then gave him a piece of kraft paper that only recorded the exercises in the early stage of foundation establishment, and did not explain the main points to him like before. He drove out of the stone chamber.

He was also not interested in communicating with his master, so he returned to his stone room with the kraft paper, and began to study it by himself.

On his side, he was pondering the exercises, but on the master's side, he was obsessed with drinking. He went to the town outside the mountain to buy spirit wine almost every month. When he ran out of spirit stones, he forced his mother to brew it for him.Mammy finally brewed it, but the master thought that there was no spirit in the wine, so annoyed, he smashed the wine jar to pieces, and grabbed a wooden stick to beat and scold Mammy severely.

Fortunately, he was not in meditation at the time, and rushed out immediately after hearing the abnormal noise.

Seeing him appear, the master immediately withdrew his hands and went back to his stone room with an unhappy expression on his face.

He clenched his fists involuntarily, turned his head to help the bruised nanny, and said in a low voice but firmly, "I want to kill him!"

Mammy's eyes widened immediately, ignoring the pain on her body, she grabbed his arm and warned sharply, "No! You can't do that kind of thing, he is your master! You can't kill your master!"

"So what?! Is he allowed to bully you like this?!" He gritted his teeth unwillingly, "Nurse, let's leave and never come back!"

"You still have to practice, you can't leave, and I won't leave!" Mammy shook her head vigorously, and then said resolutely, "You don't have to worry about me, I will try to avoid him in the future, he is not always so messy, but It’s just that I ran out of wine and drank, and that’s why I lost my temper..."

Hearing this, he immediately took out the spirit stones he had accumulated and stuffed them into the hand of the nanny, "Next time he asks for wine, you give him the spirit stones and let him buy it himself."

Mammy frowned obviously, but said nothing. She silently accepted the spirit stone, then raised her hand to caress his cheek, and said with a forced smile, "You really don't have to worry about me, you, just concentrate on practicing." , if I can see you forming alchemy in my lifetime, I will be satisfied."

"Don't worry, I will let you see it!" He promised earnestly.

After that day, he finally practiced seriously and assiduously.However, cultivation is not something that can be achieved in a day or two, but Master's bullying of Mammy may happen again all the time.The spirit stone he asked Mammy to give to the master did not satisfy the master. On the contrary, the master thought that the spirit stone was stolen from him by the nanny, and beat the mother again.

But at that time, he was meditating and performing exercises, and when he found out that he was rushing over, Mammy was already dying.

He finally couldn't hold it back anymore, and started shaking hands with his master.At the beginning, the master just dodged, but later saw that he was really murderous, so he hurriedly took out the spiritual weapon to parry and fight back.But one is young and one is old, one is strong and the other is weak. Although the master has the spiritual weapon in his hand, he has not been able to regain the advantage. If it hadn't been for the nanny who rushed to hug him regardless of his injuries, he might really have killed the master. died.

He wanted to kill him, but the master didn't want to kill him. Seeing that the nanny stopped him, he immediately took the opportunity to leave, and only said a cruel sentence, "Little bastard, don't learn the exercises from me in the future!"

——Who cares about your broken skills!

he thought angrily.At that time, he really didn't take the exercises that his master taught him seriously, and he didn't know that the level of cultivation depends not only on the quality of the exercises, but also on the aptitude of the practitioner. He just felt that the master had practiced for so many years. If you haven't practiced the alchemy technique, it's definitely not good, and there's nothing to be rare about it.

But after this happened, he really wanted to kill Master.

——If he hurts Mammy again, even if Mammy stops him, he must kill him!

He thought very seriously.

But he failed to do so in the end, and before he could bear it no longer, the master passed away.

Perhaps it was the exhaustion of life energy, perhaps the crippled body could not be healed, and of course it could be that he drank too much alcohol. In short, the master died silently in the stone room where he lived one night.But since he and his master hadn't seen each other for a long time, the nanny could hide whenever he could, so Ba had to be bumped into by the master. So, it wasn't until a few days later that the stench of rotten meat came out from the stone room, that he and the nanny were lured there , found the dead body covered with maggots.

When people die, everything rests.At this time, he and the nanny could no longer care about the past that people didn't want to look back on, so they packed up the body of the master and buried it in the ravine near the cave.Master's various relics were "inherited" by him under the suggestion of his mother, and they were not buried in the tomb with Master.

But looking through the crude little storage bag, he didn't find the Jade Slip of a Cultivation Technique that he expected to exist.

After thinking about it, he searched carefully in the stone room where his master lived. Finally, he found a black cloth bag in a hole like a mouse hole under the bed. Jade Jane.

Taking a look at the spiritual consciousness one by one, except for one jade slip that is narrating, the rest are all records of exercises, from foundation building to god transformation, it is very comprehensive.

——Is it really a high-grade exercise?

It was the first time he had such doubts, so he dug out the jade slip and read it again.

After reading this jade slip, he realized that it was actually a family tree, and that his master was actually a descendant of a family, and there was even a Flying Cultivator in his ancestors.It's just that his family has been in decline for several generations, and now there is only such a set of high-grade exercises that can still be passed down to the family.

At that time, he was very confused. He didn't understand that since this is a family-inherited exercise, why the master didn't give birth to a son himself, but adopted him instead?It wasn't until a long time later that he became more knowledgeable, had a deeper understanding of the importance of talent, and learned a lot of common sense. Only then did he realize that maybe it wasn't that Master didn't want to give birth, but that he couldn't give birth at all. .

Having a child is almost self-defeating for a female cultivator, but any female cultivator who is ambitious will not be willing, not to mention the appearance and character of Master, where can I find a female cultivator who is willing to have a child with him?The young female cultivator brought back that time was probably the limit of what the master could do, but he ruined her appearance again.Although the ruined appearance would not affect the succession of the family, but... thinking of the age of the master at that time, he felt that even if the woman stayed, she might not be able to give birth to a child for the master.

But he didn't expect to continue the "inheritance" that Master insisted on. At that time, he was too young and didn't understand; when he grew up, he didn't want to.Although the master brought him up and had the so-called grace of nurturing him, as long as he thinks about his outstanding talent, he can't help but wonder how the master brought him back—it wouldn't be like buying a nanny. Did he buy it back?Would anyone be willing to sell a child with his talent?

Unfortunately, he did not find out his identity after all.When he wanted to investigate, he had neither the ability nor the time to investigate; when he had the ability and time, he had long since lost the mood to pursue the past.

As for why the master was injured and his arm was broken, whether he had made an enemy, or whether he needed revenge, he didn't even think about it.

After the master died, he didn't let the nanny continue to live in the mountains and suffer, but sent her to a mortal town outside the mountain, bought her a house, fields, and servants, and allowed her to live a comfortable life that mortals should enjoy. ——Although he is only a low-level existence among the monks, any thing he owns is enough to allow a mortal to live an extremely affluent life.Ever since he knew this, he became more and more resentful of Master's injustice and stinginess towards Nanny.

Before leaving, he asked Mammy if she wanted to go home to find her parents, but Mammy shook her head and said flatly, "When they sold me, we have nothing to do with each other."

After saying this, Mammy asked him if he wanted to find his biological parents.

He also shook his head, and told Mammy the answer he had thought up a long time ago, "I don't have time to find them, I want to practice, I have to learn a lot of miscellaneous knowledge, I want to earn spirit stones to support myself and Mama, and Go travelling, I'm busy!"

Hearing what he said, Mammy didn't reprimand him as harshly as she did when she forbade him to do anything to Master, she just smiled and said no more.

Later, he thought, Nanny and he were actually the same kind of people.

After the nanny settled down, he found a mountain near the town where the nanny lived that was relatively rich in spiritual energy to continue his practice, so that he could visit the nanny after practicing.Since he was really fed up with the stone chamber cave, and he didn't plan to stay here for a long time, he built a small wooden house on a tree that was strong enough to keep out the wind and rain, and it was right as a shelter.

But the cultivation after foundation establishment is far from as simple and easy as during the Qi refining period. Talent alone is no longer enough to support him to continue to advance rapidly, and hard training is just an auxiliary means to improve his cultivation. In addition, What's more, it needs ample aura, top-grade pills, and mysterious opportunities.

He practiced hard for several years in the mountains and forests, but he only advanced to the middle stage of foundation establishment. After that, he practiced more and more slowly like a turtle, completely exhausting his insufficient patience.

So, he gave up his plan to continue his penance, greeted his mother, left her a fortune enough to live affluently for more than ten years, and then left the forest and officially stepped into the world of monks.

Then, he met his first friend, Wei Shaoyang, and his first woman, Yue Lingzhi.

The author has something to say: Thank you for the mines left behind by Xiaoyikeleong, Xiaoyu, and Yingzhi!

By the way, this episode is longer than I expected, and according to the plan, this chapter should be about men and women who are less important.

Uh, don't be too surprised if you find that the upper, middle and lower have become 1234 when I update next time...
