Killing God

Baiyu Bay, within the cave. .

The thick stone wall seems to isolate all the sounds from the stone room, and the sound of the waves and sea wind can't come in at all, leaving only a piece of tranquility, which is the most suitable atmosphere for cultivators to meditate.

Shen Shi was sitting cross-legged on the bed at this moment, quietly looking at the secret formula of "Xing Luo Gong" of Ling Xiaozong in his hand, and at the same time gently holding a small shiny stone in his right hand, which was the spirit crystal.

His eyes swept over the formula carefully, put it aside casually, and pondered.According to the Xingluo Jue, because the human race is indeed too weak physically, it is best for the human race monks to practice only once a day in the Qi refining state when they first start practicing, that is, to absorb the spiritual power from the spirit crystal into the body only once a day , In this way, proceed step by step, and increase the number of times to absorb the spiritual power of the spirit crystal after the practice gradually deepens in the future.Otherwise, if you act too hastily, too much spiritual power will enter the body, and the physical body will easily be unable to bear it, which will cause great harm.

"Because of the backlash of the physical body during the day, the spiritual power dissipated before it entered the body. Should this be regarded as a practice?" Shen Shi frowned, carefully recalled the situation during the day, and finally looked at the spiritual power in his hand. Crystal, I saw that the whole body of the spirit crystal was crystal clear and shining, obviously intact.You must know that if a monk has absorbed spiritual power from it, the light of the spirit crystal will weaken and dim. The more spiritual power is absorbed, the dimmer the color and brilliance of the spirit crystal, which is very easy to distinguish.And once the spiritual crystals used by monks, even if they have only absorbed spiritual power once, generally speaking, it is no longer possible to buy various spiritual materials as money in the market.

After deliberating several times, Shen Shi decided to try to cultivate again. Anyway, in the morning star hall during the day, senior brother Wang Gen had already made it clear to them that the backlash of the body was actually the same, it was nothing more than his own body and spirit. The power is not well coordinated, and there is no shortcut to solve this problem. It is to practice more times honestly, and suffer the pain of the physical body backlash a few times. After the physical body gradually adapts to the spiritual power, it will naturally start to practice.

Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain, early suffering and late suffering are all suffering anyway... Shen Shi comforted himself in his heart, then took a deep breath, closed his eyes, clenched his palms, and The spirit crystal was held tightly in the palm of his hand.

The Xingluo Jue started working again, but without the assistance of those strange magic circles in the Morning Star Hall, Shen Shi obviously felt that he couldn't concentrate quickly, and it took several times longer than the daytime before he slowly settled down Mind, I felt the faint brilliance of spiritual power in the spirit crystal.

For the rest, just like what he had done in the daytime, he was concentrating on chasing that gleam of light in the darkness, and after spending a lot of effort, he finally managed to catch that trace of spiritual power. Shi already faintly felt that his body began to tremble slightly, and he looked extremely tired mentally. He obviously hadn't absorbed the spiritual power into his body, and there were no signs of physical backlash, but for some reason, he felt that he was about to be unable to hold on.

It was only with great difficulty that he grasped that trace of spiritual power, Shen Shi was really unwilling to give up easily, so he still endured the discomfort in his body, and tried his best to absorb this trace of spiritual power into the air veins in his palm.

Under his control, this weak spiritual force slowly approached his physical body. Just when it touched the skin of his palm and was about to merge into the energy channels of his body, Shen Shi's body shook violently, an extremely violent The pain seemed to tear his body apart, and it burst out from every corner of his body at the same time, making his body collapse instantly, and his whole body collapsed on the ground, with a "bang" from the bed, directly fell down.

The physical body backfired and finally reappeared.

Shen Shi's whole body was trembling, and he twitched non-stop on the ground, his face turned pale. Unexpectedly, for some reason, the backlash pain was a bit more severe than that of Bai Ri, especially except for the severe pain around his body. In addition to the pain, a splitting headache appeared in his head, which had never occurred during the day, as if the whole head was about to burst, which made him extremely painful, and he was almost on the verge of dying with his head. hit the ground.

This pain is almost unbearable, and it makes people feel that life is worse than death. Although the whole body is in severe pain, it can be tolerated after all, but the pain in the head, which has never been seen before, is fierce. It was so extreme that it was hard to resist, Shen Shi was caught off guard, holding his head on the ground, he couldn't help shouting, kicking his legs desperately and rolling over.

Fortunately, this intense and terrifying pain did not last for too long, and it gradually faded away after a while, otherwise Shen Shi really doubted whether he would just live and die like this.

This path of cultivation is really difficult and tortuous.

Shen Shi lay down on the ground, unable to get up for a while, he felt exhausted all over his body, and even more exhausted mentally, as if he had died once and then came back to life, much worse than in the morning star palace during the day .

Looking blankly at the stone wall above his head, Shen Shi felt a little dazed, is this an accident?Didn't it clearly say that the pain of backlash from the body gradually weakens with the increase in the number of times of practice? How come it actually intensifies so much when it comes to me?

Or, even if there is no spiritual energy entering the body during the day, it is actually considered to have been practiced once, and if I practice again at night, it will be "reversely harmful" as mentioned in the Xingluo Jue?

Thinking about it, Shen Shi was so exhausted that he just lay down on the ground and fell asleep in a daze, but when he was about to fall asleep, he was blank and didn't know what he was thinking In his mind, a thought suddenly flashed vaguely, as if he remembered something, but he forgot it in a blink of an eye, as if he felt that the thought was something important, but when he thought about it carefully, he couldn't remember it at all.

On April [-]th, it was sunny.

When Shen Shi woke up from his sleep in a trance, he felt a dull pain all over his body, and after thinking about it carefully, he remembered what happened last night for the first time, and couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat again.

This road of cultivating the Tao is really not a child's play. Although I still don't quite understand why the pain of the physical backlash intensified last night, and there were signs of severe head pain that I didn't have before, but Shen Shi still decided that he must be more cautious when practicing in the future. In addition, it is best to find an opportunity today to ask Senior Brother Su He about his situation.

He fell asleep on the ground last night, and felt stiff when he got up. He hurriedly moved around in the stone room, and then he slowly recovered.After closing the Starlight Orb above his head with a cloud talisman, he saw a ray of sunlight falling from the skylight, and Shen Shi suddenly shivered, and shouted: "Oops!"

Immediately, he hurriedly packed his clothes casually, opened the stone gate and ran out, the better he was with that starfish girl in Hongceng Village yesterday, and today is the past, but now this point is a long time late.

He secretly groaned in his heart, thinking of how he asked people if they would wake up so early yesterday, Shen Shi couldn't help but feel a little fever on his face, but at this time there was no other way but to rush over as soon as possible.As for asking Su He or other senior brothers about the strangeness of the physical backlash, we will go to them when we come back earlier today.

After running out of the cave, Shen Shi walked quickly towards the Herring Collection, and within a few steps, he heard the stone gate of the cave next door suddenly open, and Sun You walked out, seeing Shen Shi at first glance, his eyes lit up , and stretched out his hand to greet him.

Shen Shi stopped in his tracks, waited for him to come to him, looked him up and down, and said with a smile, "Where are you going?"

Sun You also opened his mouth, but unexpectedly asked the same sentence, the two smiled at each other, and then walked side by side, Shen Shi said: "I'd better go to the Red Clam Village."

Sun You glanced at him, and said, "The peeling of shrimps, are you really doing well? How many shrimps were peeled yesterday?"

Shen Shi shook his head and said: "There are only five, let's try again today, the main reason is that there are really no suitable tasks at Baihetang. By the way, did you find any tasks after you went back yesterday?"

Sun You paused for a moment, but took a sneak peek around, as if feeling a little guilty, and then said softly to Shen Shi: "He Xiaomei and Jiang Hongguang didn't find anything satisfactory, and they said they would go and have a look today, after all, Bai He It is said that new tasks will be issued from time to time in the hall. As for me," he laughed dryly, and said in a low voice, "I went to the Spirit Beast Hall and accepted the task of raising animals."

Shen Shi was stunned, and wondered: "We were at the White Crane Hall yesterday, didn't we ask about this task? I remember that senior sister told us clearly that the task of raising animals is already full."

Sun You coughed and said, "Well...it's full, that's right, that senior sister didn't lie to us."

Shen Shi looked at him and said, "Then how did you get in?"

Sun You's face became more and more embarrassing, he hesitated for a moment, but lowered his voice, and said, "Isn't my brother-in-law at the Baihe Hall? He is very familiar with a senior in the Spirit Beast Hall, so I asked him for a favor..."

Shen Shi watched him speechless for a long while, then laughed and shook his head, and walked forward. For some reason, Sun You felt a little wronged, and ran to him with a bit of embarrassment: "Shen Shi, in fact, I really did it yesterday. Someone once asked for you if two people could go to raise animals together, but my brother-in-law said that it would be a great honor given by that senior brother to accept one more person, and there is really no other way."

Shen Shi turned his head, shook his head and said with a smile: "Sun You, don't worry too much, I didn't think about anything else. It's a good thing that you have my uncle to help you. I can only be happy for you, and it's not a big deal. "

Sun You let out a "huh", with a look of concern on his face, and said, "You really didn't take it to heart?"

Shen Shi smiled, and said: "How can things in the world be considered equal and fair. It's okay."

Only then did Sun You heave a sigh of relief, the two of them chatted all the way, and unknowingly came to the Herring Market, where Sun You was going in another direction to the place where the beasts were raised in the Spirit Beast Palace, as for the road to Hongceng Village, because only A place, but no other teenagers went there, so only Shen Shi went in that direction.

All the way to Hongceng Village, Shen Shi saw a young girl squatting on the ground at the entrance of the village from a distance, with a large basket of bamboo cages beside her, and it was obvious that there were ghost-faced shrimps inside.

When he got closer, Shen Shi's heart skipped a beat. The starfish girl's complexion looked very gloomy, as if a volcano was about to erupt...
