Killing God

Chapter 47 Mystery

It seems that I have been asleep for an unknown number of years, dazed and silent in the dark, until I suddenly saw that ray of light, but a little familiar appeared in the long and strange memory. Although I still don't know what it is, there is a feeling of A strong trembling flowed through his whole body like an electric current, and he shouted for his family in an instant!

"what……"

With a cry, Shen Shi suddenly turned over and sat up, gasping for breath, looking around in shock, the familiar scene of the stone chamber came into his eyes, it took a long time before he slowly came back to his senses, just now he fell asleep in a daze In the past, it seemed like a nightmare. .

The scene in the dream seemed to be blurred for a while, but after wiping his forehead, he found that he was covered in cold sweat, and he didn't know what he dreamed about, so he just sat on the bed for a while, waiting for his mood. After completely calming down, he didn't think about it, but found that his body felt very light, especially full of energy, as if his whole body was full of energy.

Shen Shi subconsciously looked at the edge of the bed not far away, there was an old hourglass standing there, the white sand grains in it flowed silently and silently, only the last remnants remained at this moment.Shen Shi frowned, a look of surprise flashed across his face.

This jade hourglass was a small gift from his father Shen Tai when he parted from him. As a thought, the sand in it flowed from one side to the other, which happened to be an hour.And Shen Shi clearly remembered that when he started to practice tonight, he put all the sand in the hourglass at one end as usual and started counting down.

In other words, from the beginning of cultivation to the present, only about an hour has passed?

Shen Shi pondered for a moment, jumped off the bed, moved his body on the ground, turned his head, bent his waist and waved his arms, and finally bounced a few times, and finally confirmed clearly that he was really refreshed right now, as if he was full of energy. Now you can go to Red Clam Village to peel twenty or thirty ghost noodle shrimps!

But it's not right...

Shen Shi slowly stopped, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter, whether it was the records of the Xingluo Kung Fu secret formula or the warnings from senior brother Wang Gen and senior brother Su He when he taught the kung fu, and even these days Sun You, He Xiaomei, Jiang What Hong Guang and other new friends talked about when they chatted with him after they started to practice, the meaning in the words is exactly the same, that is, after the human race has practiced, especially the newcomers who have just started to absorb spiritual power from the spirit crystal and lead the spirit into the body. After every practice, the whole person must be extremely tired, especially mentally.

In the words of Senior Brother Wang Gen, when absorbing spiritual power from the spirit crystals and entering the energy channels of the physical body, all the techniques used in the process are countless and strange, but in the end they all consume energy and draw them with thoughts.Therefore, all the monks' reactions after training are exhausted. This is the fundamental reason why monks can only practice guiding spirits into the body once a day at most. If he couldn't afford it and forcibly went against the sky, within ten and a half months, this person would become an idiot.

The same is true even for monks who are getting deeper and higher in Taoism, because although monks in the Yuan Condensation Realm and even the Divine Artistic Realm have advanced realms and supernatural powers, they are far better than monks in the Qi Refining Realm both physically and mentally, but every time they start from the Spiritual Crystal The absorbed spiritual power has also increased significantly, and the energy consumed has also increased tremendously. At most, there will be no such strong sense of fatigue after cultivation, but most high-ranking monks still only practice once a day.

For a long time, this is a generally accepted truth in the world of Hongmeng cultivation. Not long after Shen Shi worshiped Lingxiaozong, he also knew it from his senior brothers in the sect.

However, the current situation is obviously not right...

The excitement of introducing the spirit into the body for the first time tonight has slowly subsided at this time, replaced by a deep bewilderment in Shen Shi's heart. Sit down on the edge of the bed, close your eyes, and slowly go through tonight's cultivation process from the beginning to the end, scene by scene in your mind, trying to find some clues or strangeness.

Lingjing, holding tight, meditating, concentrating, practicing, perceiving, darkness, twilight, spiritual power, chasing, guiding spirits, entering the body, all the processes seemed to be cut into fragments, recalling the past bit by bit, But until the end, he found that everything was normal, exactly the same as usual, except that there was no sign of physical backlash tonight, and he succeeded in practicing for the first time...

Later, he was tired and fell on the bed. In the great joy and excitement of completing the cultivation practice for the first time, it was also very normal for him to feel the unstoppable exhaustion sweeping over the sky, and then he was lost. He fell asleep in a daze.

When you are conscious again, it is the present when you wake up.

Shen Shi frowned suddenly, as if he had grasped something faintly, he concentrated his mind and began to recall, trying to remember the part of him just going to sleep, but everything seemed to be blurred, and his mind was in a state of chaos, or it was a blur. paste……

Did it really happen while you were sleeping just now?But I clearly didn't do anything. Looking back now, I don't seem to think about anything in my daze, but I am tired and want to have a good sleep. If there was a refresher at that time...

Refreshing!

Suddenly, these four words flashed through Shen Shi's mind like lightning, as if suddenly lighting up a dark corner in the darkness, his body shook immediately, at this moment, another name slowly emerged in his mind out of the water.

The Purifying Mantra, is it the Purifying Mantra... that secret that he has been hiding, hesitating and daring not to touch?

At this time, Shen Shi's face looked a little weird, he seemed to be suddenly delighted, but also confused and confused. He turned around and hesitated for a while, and reached out to the innermost part of the bed, a certain secret hidden under the quilt. He fumbled around the corner, and when he turned around, he already had a black scroll in his hand.

When he first entered the Lingxiao Sect and went through the level of the crystal-swallowing toad, Shen Shi had already noticed that the seven-leaf gold sunflower pattern on the scroll of the Qingxin Curse might bring him trouble, and since then Dare to carry it with you, it happened that Ling Xiaozong allocated a separate cave for each newcomer disciple, and the cloud talisman could not be opened unless he was himself, so Shen Shi carefully hid it in the cave.

After getting the scroll of the Purifying Mantra, Shen Shi naturally read it many times in secret, but he still had some concerns in his heart, and he didn't dare to practice it casually. Many things made him live a full and busy life during this period, and he even forgot this mantra for a while.

Who knew, in the days when I finally got used to the backlash of my body for the first time and practiced successfully, I also practiced the Purifying Mantra inexplicably.

Have you really practiced?Shen Shi felt a little uneasy, stood up and moved his body cautiously, checked himself, and finally confirmed that there seemed to be nothing unusual about him, on the contrary, his spirit seemed particularly refreshed and full, which was different from Sun You and others. Pingri is completely different from his own description of complaining that he is as tired as a dead dog after every practice.

In other words, is this mysterious heart-clearing mantra really just a technique for refreshing one's mind?

For no reason, Shen Shi's heart skipped a beat...

※※※

On April [-]th, it was sunny.

In the early morning, when he walked out of the cave, Shen Shi looked up at the sky and found that the sky today seemed bluer than usual, there was not even a single cloud in the endless sky, the sky was as clear and transparent as a huge and flawless sapphire.The tide is still churning on the beach of Baiyu Bay, the sound of crashing waves can be heard from afar, the sea breeze is blowing, and it seems to be a little smaller than usual, but usually we often see seabirds flying and fishing along the coast, today Didn't see it either.

Standing at the entrance of the cave, Shen Shi stretched his waist in the direction of the sea. He only felt that this day seemed particularly beautiful, and of course he was in a particularly good mood.

On that night three days ago, he finally managed to lead the spirit into his body for the first time, that is, since then, he has officially embarked on the road of cultivation, and he can barely be called a monk, although he is still only the lowest. The initial stage of Qi Refining Realm.

However, which monk in this world didn't start from here?

Now at the initial stage of Qi Refining Realm, the spiritual power in his body is naturally meager, but from today onwards, as long as the follow-up spirit crystals can keep up and he does not slack in his own cultivation, the spiritual power in his body will naturally become stronger and stronger. As the absorption of spiritual power increases day by day, and with a few chances to open up several joint difficulties in the whole body's qi channels, the Tao will naturally improve. From the elementary level to the middle and high level of the qi refining environment, you can try to open up the dantian jade mansion and spy on the condensate. Yuanjing's mark.

As for the many brothers and sisters who have been trapped in the Qi-refining environment for many years and cannot enter the island on Herring Island, at this moment, the young Shen Shi didn't think of it at all.

In addition, there is another reason why he is in a good mood that cannot be explained to others.

After repeated hesitation, deliberation and inner struggle, in the end, he finally couldn't hold back, and began to secretly practice the mysterious spell of clearing the heart.And after these few days of practice attempts, Shen Shi finally confirmed that the heart-purifying mantra did not seem to do any harm to him. On the contrary, this mysterious mantra was effective in restoring the spirit, especially after he had practiced it once. After introducing the spirit into the body, I feel a strong sense of fatigue, and then run the Qingxin mantra again, which has an amazing miraculous effect on restoring physical strength and spirit.

Every time the mantra of purifying the heart is practiced, all the feeling of mental fatigue will be swept away, and the whole person will be like a person who has just taken a bath and is refreshed, and his spirit is terribly good.What's more, Shen Shi even had the courage to secretly try to practice for the second time within a day, that is, the second time holding the spirit crystal in his hand to lead the spirit into his body.

He did it.

Even he himself didn't dare to have too much hope and just tried it with a one-ten-thousandth chance, and unexpectedly, unexpectedly, really, it succeeded!

He actually managed to lead the spirit into his body twice in one day, and after this second practice, he had the same reaction as the first practice before, but simply felt a huge mental exhaustion , but none of the signs that senior brother Wang Gen and the others said that excessive cultivation would cause great damage to the body appeared.

However, the magic of the Purifying Mantra seems to stop here. After practicing twice in one day, no matter how he practiced the Purifying Mantra, his body did not respond at all. Can only restore his spirit once.

Chapter 48 Unlucky

Practicing twice in one day, there is almost no backlash harm at all, even if the miraculous effect of Qingxin Jue can only be effective once a day, but even so, Shen Shi is already satisfied, and does not want to ask for more extravagance at all.

What does it mean to practice twice in one day?This simply means that as long as Lingjing can keep up, his cultivation speed will be twice as fast as that of ordinary people. With such a huge benefit, how can he be in a bad mood?

Looking at the blue sea and sky, Shen Shi really had the urge to open his mouth to shout, but of course at the end, he still held back, smiled, and stretched out his hand to rub the space between his brows.

With his fingers between his eyebrows, he paused for a moment.

Perhaps, the only thing that made him a little uneasy, and a fly in the ointment, was that the Purifying Mantra seemed to have a strange aftereffect. After each operation, although he could quickly regain his spirit, at the same time, it would restore the trace of his previous training. The spiritual power, inexplicably scattered from the state of randomly scattered all over the body's energy channels, slowly gathers and attracts to a certain acupuncture point deep in the center of the eyebrows, and stops there.

As for the trace of spiritual power obtained from the second practice of guiding spirits into the body in a day, because the Qingxin Mantra seems to be effective only once, it is normally scattered in the energy channels in the body like most monks do.

However, this doesn’t seem to be a big problem, the center of the eyebrows is also a place where the whole body’s Qi veins are. It’s a bit strange to enter the body’s spiritual power to stop there, because in common sense, only after cultivating to the Condensed Yuan Realm to open up jade After the Mansion Qi Sea, the spiritual power will show signs of converging in one place, and such a strange phenomenon has never been heard in the Qi Refining Realm.

But at least there doesn't seem to be anything unusual now, the more spiritual power enters the body, the higher the cultivation path, and naturally the better!Anyway, the practice will go further in the future, and when the dantian jade mansion is opened, all the spiritual power in the body will surely flow into the jade mansion from all rivers.

Shen Shi thought so excitedly, looking at the blue sky, he only felt that the future was bright.

The sea breeze blows, bringing with it a hint of coolness.

Shen Shi turned around and walked towards the herring market, preparing to go to Hongceng Village along that road. Today he had to work hard all day.Now when other people have happy events, although they can't tell others, they are already full of energy in their hearts. Besides, if they practice twice a day, the first thing that bears the brunt is that the consumption of spiritual crystals will be double that of others.

Generally speaking, a normal spirit crystal is enough for a beginner monk in the Qi Refining Realm to practice twenty times, which is enough for 20 days of practice. After the realm is improved, the monk's spiritual power consumption of the spirit crystal will also increase significantly .The middle-level monks in the Qi Refining Realm can absorb spiritual power twice as fast as the beginner-level monks. A spirit crystal can only be used for ten days. It can last for five days.As for the great supernatural monks of higher realms, the masters of the Condensed Origin Realm, the Divine Artistic Realm, and even the Yuan Dan Realm, the spiritual crystals and spiritual power they need to consume during their cultivation are beyond what Shen Shi can imagine now.

Although Shen Shi is just starting out in the way of cultivation, he is only at the beginning of the Qi Refining Realm, and he does not absorb much spiritual power from Lingjing every time he practices, but he can't stand it now that he practices twice a day. It costs twice as much as ordinary people.

When I think that I have to use up the spirit crystals at the middle-level speed of the middle-level Qi Refining Realm while using the weak Taoism of the first stage of Qi Refining Realm, and if the realm is improved in the future, the demand for Spirit Crystals will become even more terrifying.As soon as he thought of this, Shen Shi suddenly felt a sense of urgency, and even faintly panicked. Earning as many spirit crystals as possible is already Shen Shi's top priority on Herring Island.

※※※

When Shen Shi pulled himself together and prepared to go to work full of energy, he didn't take two steps before he saw the stone door of the cave next door to him rumbling open, and then Sun You walked out listlessly.

Looking up and seeing Shen Shi, Sun You waved at him, closed the Shimen door, and walked slowly to Shen Shi's side.Shen Shi sized him up, and saw that Sun You's eyes were slightly dark, his eyelids and cheeks were swollen, and he looked tired from staying up all night, so he couldn't help asking in surprise, "What's wrong with you?"

Sun You grinned, smiled weakly, and said, "It's not because of the practice. These days, I have a splitting headache every night after practicing, and I can't even sleep well, and I wake up like this." Speaking of this, he suddenly thought of something, his eyes showed a bit of surprise, he looked at Shen Shi carefully, and said strangely:

"Hey, I remember you said a few days ago that you have passed the period of physical backlash and you can start to practice. Why do you seem to be more energetic than me?"

Shen Shi was stunned, nodded subconsciously and said: "Yes, I can start to practice normally three days ago, and I can lead spirits into my body."

Sun You glanced at him, and saw that although Shen Shi's face was a bit tired, but his eyes were bright and his body was upright, the situation looked much better than his own, and he frowned and said, "That's strange..."

Shen Shi was speechless for a while, his brain was spinning sharply, and he was thinking of making up some excuses to perfunctory, at this moment, he heard someone beside him snorted coldly, with a bit of disdain in his tone, and said: "Rare is more strange After practicing, everyone will naturally feel tired, but since everyone's physical condition is different, the duration of mental fatigue is also different, so why is it so strange that he just recovers faster?"

Both Shen Shi and Sun You turned around to look, and saw two girls standing not far away, one fat and one thin, with somewhat similar appearance, they were Zhong Qinglu and Zhong Qingzhu.Miss Zhong Qinglu is the only one who can say such sarcasm to Sun You at this moment.

These days, they are busy practicing all day long, or they are peeling shrimps in Hongceng Village, getting up early and returning home late. Except for hearing from Sun You a few days ago that Zhong Qinglu took over the task of refining alchemy and Zhong Qingzhu took over the task of picking shellfish, Shen Shi Huan really hasn't seen these two girls for quite some time.Seeing them today, Shen Shi first took a closer look at the two of them, then he was stunned for a while, and then he felt a little funny in his heart.

It turned out that these two girls, especially Zhong Qinglu looked down on Sun You, but it seemed that the situation of the two of them was not very good, and they also looked tired on their faces. Among them, Zhong Qingzhu looked better, and Zhong Qinglu The original white and chubby little face also has two extra dark circles, which are very conspicuous.

After Sun You heard Zhong Qinglu's words, he didn't get angry immediately. Instead, he pondered for a moment, then turned to Shen Shi and said, "Don't tell me, it's really the truth that the girl of the Zhong family said. But in the future, as we practice With each passing day, the physical body and spiritual power will become more and more harmonious, but now it’s just some superficial reactions, and it will be fine after a long time.”

Of course, Shen Shi has heard this truth from others, but he didn't think about it for a while, but let Zhong Qinglu see Sun You's dislike, so he directly explained it for him, and then smiled and said: "So you can bear it for a while .”

Sun You shrugged and said, "That's the only way to go."

This time Zhong Qinglu took Zhong Qingzhu to the front of the two of them, looking at the backs of the two of them, perhaps because Zhong Qinglu accidentally blocked a pass for him just now, Shen Shi actually felt that Zhong Qinglu looked like this time. It was much more pleasing to the eye, and couldn't help but whisper to Sun You: "Why do you always quarrel with Zhong Qinglu? I don't think she is particularly annoying?"

Sun You sneered, just about to criticize her friend, when Zhong Qinglu seemed to hear something, suddenly stopped and looked back, just in time to see Sun You looking at herself with a strange expression while trying to say something to Shen Shi, Immediately his face darkened, and he sneered and said, "Second Sun, are you sneaking around and wanting to talk about people behind their backs?"

Sun You didn't speak for a while, Zhong Qinglu glanced at Shen Shi, saw him looking at her in a daze, with a stupid look, got angry when he saw it, snorted coldly, and shouted: "What are you looking at, I haven't seen a beautiful woman before." Is it? Gossiping with Sun Laoer over there, he is not a good person at first glance, and I don’t know how he got into Ling Xiaozong!"

After all, he gave the two of them a hard look, then ignored them, turned around and shook his head, and drifted away. Zhong Qingzhu stuck out his tongue, smiled apologetically at the two of them, and then hurriedly followed go up.

After a while, Sun You looked sideways at Shen Shi and said, "What did you just say?"

Shen Shi was silent for a moment, and said: "Forget that sentence, just pretend I never said it!"

※※※

The two walked to the herring collection together, because Ling Xiaozong's main hall entrances have special halls distributed on herring island, and they basically go to the corresponding places to do things after receiving the tasks, so Sun You and Shen Shi We parted at the herring market, and Sun You saw that his energy had recovered a lot when we parted, and he smiled at Shen Shi, "If I finish my work early today, I'll go to Red Clam Village to see you peeling shrimp."

Shen Shi laughed it off, Sun You had said the same thing several times over the past few days, but except for the first time when he came without warning, anyone who said he would come later never came.

Walking eastward from Herring Collection, walking for a while along the main road leading to Hongceng Village, you can see the small village on the beach from a distance, and after walking for a while, Shen Shi It was also expected to see the slim figure leaning against the tree at the entrance of the village.

He smiled slightly, strode forward, and said hello to Miss Haixing: "Good morning."

Hai Xing glanced at him, and suddenly said: "Hey, it seems that you are in a good mood today."

Shen Shi laughed, touched his face, and said: "Is there any?"

Hai Xing sneered, and said: "Nonsense, it seems that your mouth is almost laughing to your ears."

Shen Shi shook his head with a smile, then rubbed his fists and said: "Okay, stop talking nonsense, quickly take out the shrimp cage, I'm going to do a good job today."

Hai Xing was stunned for a moment, and wondered: "What's wrong with you today? You look weird. You looked like you didn't wake up a few days ago, but today you seem to be a different person."

Shen Shi laughed, and didn't say much, he just urged Hai Xing to get the shrimp pot quickly.In the past few days, after he gradually became familiar with the bloody, dirty and even humble job of peeling shrimps, the speed of peeling shrimps gradually stabilized at around twenty shrimps a day.However, because of studying the Purifying Mantra in the past few days, most of his mind has been devoted to it. After all, if this one is not done well, there may be problems in cultivation.Therefore, when peeling shrimps in the past few days, Shen Shi would appear distracted from time to time, and the number of shrimps peeled each day dropped from a stable twenty to only twelve or thirteen.

This obvious abnormality would of course be noticed by Hai Xing, after two days of holding back without speaking, Hai Xing finally couldn't help but said a few words to Shen Shi yesterday.But at this moment, Shen Shi has already solved the big problem, and now he is full of joy and only wants to earn spirit crystals. The number of spirit crystals he will use in the future is huge, twice as many as ordinary people!

Thinking of this, Shen Shi became impatient, and said: "It's okay, I happened to have something to do a few days ago, it's all fine now, quickly take out the shrimp cage!"

Hai Xing glanced at him with regret, sighed, and said, "It's rare to see you being so energetic, but it's a pity that you can't peel the shrimp today."

Shen Shi was stunned, and said in astonishment: "What?"

(Starting today, the two chapters will be posted together at ten o'clock in the morning every day)
