The moon is shallow and the lamp is deep, the sky and the earth are dark and chaotic, as if there are unknown things growing in the dark shadows.
Ye Xuan sat alone at the dining table in the main room. On the table was a plate as big as a washbasin, containing the nine-turn large intestine cooked by Ye Xuan, thick oily red sauce, the color was beautiful, the aroma was very mellow, and a wooden barrel filled with rice.
Put it aside.
Because he was worried that the tiger spirit would come again tonight and eat up all the food, Ye Xuan and his daughter had dinner in advance in the evening.
Nannan was still only interested in rice. Not long after eating, when it was dark, she went to sleep in a house that Ye Xuan had cleaned.
Today's encounter with the arrival of the evil god had unknowingly strengthened Ye Xuan's courage.
Although it was only one day, his state of mind was very different from yesterday. He no longer resisted those ghosts, monsters, and fairies, and began to wonder if he could borrow their power to arm himself.
The tiger spirit only came to eat last night and did not harm Ye Xuan.
It is undoubtedly the best path opener for Ye Xuan to open a new path.
The sky was getting darker and darker, and the moon was so light that it could only show a vague outline in the black sky. The wind blew up and down all around, indicating that a heavy rain was coming.
The nine-turn large intestine on the table was a little cold, and when Ye Xuan was wondering if the tiger spirit wouldn't be able to come tonight, a figure appeared on the wall facing the main room.
‘She’ has long hair like a waterfall, a heroic spirit between her brows and eyes, a high nose, and lips like blades, and her heroic aura is somewhat cold and glamorous.
The visitor took advantage of Ye Xuan's daze and climbed over the wall, walked into the main room with stiff steps, sat down opposite Ye Xuan, picked up the plate and was about to chew, but she paused for a moment, put down the plate again, and put her hand down.
In front of his knees, he said to Ye Xuan in a muffled voice: "I'm here, let's eat."
There is no doubt that this woman is the tiger spirit who transformed into a burly man last night.
How does it turn into a man and a woman at one moment?
Ye Xuan was puzzled and asked cautiously: "Are you a female or a male?"
He originally planned to ask the tiger spirit if it was a male or a female, but he thought that this statement was too straightforward and would make the tiger spirit think that he was insulting it. However, it still felt wrong to use male and female to distinguish monsters. So he distinguished them by male and female.
, neither seeming abrupt or straightforward, nor making yourself too entangled.
The tiger spirit turned his head and glanced at Ye Xuan. Although his face was expressionless, he was still so scared that Ye Xuan shrank his neck.
It stretched out its thumb and pointed at itself: "I, female."
In just one day, its way of thinking and certain behaviors have become more agile and close to human thinking.
The purpose of cultivating monsters is to get rid of ignorance and arrogance, and make oneself closer to humans, the form of the primate of all things. When a monster is no different from a human being, its cultivation level has already entered the door.
It struggled to grab the pair of chopsticks on the table, and after several attempts, it finally picked up a piece of sausage.
The tiger spirit stared at the fat intestines intently and said: "Let's eat."
Then he put the fat intestine into his mouth, chewed it three or two times and swallowed it into his belly. Then he used chopsticks several times to pick up the dishes but failed to pick up the dishes. He dropped the chopsticks impatiently and picked up the basin again to grab the dishes and devour them.
Ye Xuan watched her eating from the side, helped her fill a bowl of rice, handed it to the tiger spirit and said: "Don't be busy eating the vegetables, just eat your food."
Tigers are full-fledged carnivores, but we don’t know whether mature tigers will eat meat and vegetables as well as humans.
The female tiger spirit put down the plate, still holding the fat intestines with one hand, and tilted her head to look at the bowl of rice on the table. She probably had never eaten this kind of food. She thought for a moment and finally put down the intestines.
I grabbed a bunch of rice to eat.
"It doesn't taste good." She swallowed the rice and said dullly.
Ye Xuandao: "Everyone eats these things. Rice, soup cakes and other foods are indispensable every day."
Soup cakes are early noodles.
When the female tiger spirit heard this, she raised her head and looked at Ye Xuan strangely, her eyes confused: "But, it doesn't taste good."
"If you want to become a cultivator, you have to imitate every move of a human being, and this is what happens when you eat rice. Everyone eats rice, but you only eat meat every day. How can you not let people see that you are not a human being?" Ye Xuan was persuasive and sincere.
teach.
The female tiger spirit was stunned for a moment, thinking about whether Ye Xuan's words made sense or not. She nodded and said, "You are right."
As she spoke, she frowned and swallowed the bowl of rice with her intestines.
Although the female tiger spirit's eating appearance is not good-looking, the appearance of the woman she transformed into is really outstanding, which makes her rough eating appearance become more charming and naive.
When Ye Xuan saw her eating a bowl of rice, he served her another bowl. Seeing her finish the rice, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Every meal consists of big fish and meat, which I can't even afford.
But if she eats one more bowl of rice, will she have to eat two taels of meat less?
Not long after, all the dishes and rice were put into the belly of the female tiger spirit. She touched her flat belly that was not bulging with satisfaction, nodded to Ye Xuan, stood up and said, "Let's go."
She turned around to leave, as if remembering something, her eyes rolled, and she turned around and said, "See you tomorrow night."
"Wait a minute." Ye Xuan didn't stand up. His hands hidden under the table were rubbing each other, with a reserved and hesitant expression. After a while, Qi Qi Ai Ai saw that the female tiger spirit just looked at him with wide eyes and no other expression, so she gritted her teeth and said,
"Among us mortals, if you go to another house to eat, you have to pay money. You have already eaten two meals in a row. I think..."
"I don't have any money." The female tiger spirit shook her head.
Ye Xuan's face froze, his brain turned rapidly, and he said in an instant: "If you don't have money, you can use other things to offset it."
"What can I offer as compensation?" The female tiger spirit became confused again.
She has no hobby of collecting gold and silver treasures, and she can't think of anything to pay Ye Xuan for a moment. It's not that she wants to default on the debt - her intelligence is not that smart yet.
"Whatever you think my two meals are worth is worth it." At this point, Ye Xuan had given up hope on the meal money, but he still wanted to leave the concept of 'you have to pay for meals' in the tiger spirit's mind, "If
I can’t take it out now, but when you come next time, you can shoot a wild boar, badger or something and bring it over.”
"Your food is delicious." The female tiger spirit expressed her approval of Ye Xuan's cooking skills. She thought for a long time and hesitantly took out a stone from her body, "I can give you this, and you can watch it for two days."
What she meant was that she would lend the stone to Ye Xuan for two days and then return it after two days.
Ye Xuan did not agree on the spot. He took the stone and swept it casually. The stone suddenly became crystal clear in his consciousness, and the pictures and words inside appeared in the sea of consciousness.
Each picture is an action of a human figure practicing boxing.
The characters are ancient Chinese characters used in today's world. The top four characters are: Tiger cassock.
"Look slowly, I'm leaving first." The words of the female tiger spirit reached Ye Xuan's ears, and then the sound of footsteps gradually disappearing in his ears.
Ye Xuan had no time to see him off, and was completely immersed in the general outline of "Tiger Kasaya".
After a quick glance at the outline, he realized that what was written on the stone was a complete set of techniques, including boxing techniques for fighting and tempering the body, formulas for channeling energy to refine the body, and secret techniques for cultivating magic weapons.
Practicing in this way, introducing Qi into the body and tempering yourself with boxing techniques, until you reach great perfection, you can "Qi like a tiger running, and skin like a tiger bending down."
It means that you can cultivate a strong and powerful energy, like a tiger galloping around the body, and temper the skin and meat at the same time, making the skin as pliable as tiger skin, so that when you strike, you will be like a tiger leaning down, fighting bravely.
The Yinxian Sect's basic body-building boxing technique 'Zombie Fist' and the supporting 'Yunyan Qi-Inducing Technique' can only strengthen the skin membrane.
Although it can bring Qi into the body, it can only go so far. It cannot cultivate a breath of true Qi at all, and it has only roughly tempered the first level of skin refining of the body, and then hastily stepped into the second level, and the foundation is bound to be unstable.
Due to this weak foundation, many Yinxian Sect disciples are trapped in the fifth level of physical body and have never been able to step into the second level - the spirit level.
When one compares the Tiger Kasaya with the Yinxian Sect's basic method, one can immediately tell whether they are superior to each other.
Moreover, with the breath of true energy cultivated by the tiger cassock method, you can find a piece of beast fur to keep it warm at all times, and you can even refine the fur into a magical weapon, wear it on your body, and your body will turn into a tiger demon, killing the enemy. , the magical weapon can also swallow the enemy's soul and act as an aide to the tiger!
No wonder the tigress was able to become a spirit through cultivation. The method contained in the stone must have contributed greatly to her current cultivation results!
Ye Xuan put down the stone, and the stone became ordinary again.
He held it in his arms and recalled the tiger cassock mantra and boxing technique in his mind. He stood up and walked to the courtyard, slowly raising his Qi, imagining a ball of Qi accumulating from his lower abdomen and traveling to his limbs. Hit the road!
The first style of tiger cassock - the evil tiger attacks the sheep!
As the fist unfolded, Ye Xuan's movements were particularly stiff.
This set of boxing techniques imitates the hunting, leaping, running and other postures of a tiger. There are seven moves in total, including a sonic move - Mountain Tiger Roaring Valley.
The last move, "The Tiger Takes Off the Kasaya," requires the boxer to have the ferocious thought of "picking up the butcher knife and killing all living beings," personifying the tiger, taking off the various cassocks that bind his heart, facing the bleak reality with his "self", and fighting fiercely. Fierce punches.
Ye Xuan practiced the boxing technique several times without stopping to visualize and draw the air. Only when the boxing technique no longer felt unfamiliar and obscure and his breathing gradually became even, did he finally remember this boxing technique.
He practiced boxing so completely that he forgot all about himself. The vitality poured into his body and was refined to a pure level by the method of entraining the energy. It was sent into the muscle membrane and slowly absorbed by himself.
About half an hour later, he opened his eyes and stopped - the speed at which he was accumulating vitality had reached the limit, and if he continued, he would be hurt.
After taking a look at the incense sticks on the incense table in the main room and estimating the time, Ye Xuan couldn't help but feel depressed.
The boxing practice this time was still only half an hour, and the body's energy and blood were really weak and could not withstand too much energy being washed away.
I haven't seen even a single bit of the 'tiger energy' described in the exercise. If this continues, I don't know when I will be able to truly develop a tiger energy - my qualifications are also too poor, no wonder I spent so much time. Yin Qian became an outer disciple of the Yinxian Sect, but still had no status in the Yinxian Sect and was looked down upon by others!
Ye Xuan thought quietly for a while, relieved the depression and frustration in his heart, and then went to the bedroom.
He didn't go to bed immediately. While his energy and blood were surging like running water, he stood in front of the table and drew a fire-drinking spell with his brush. Finally, he felt sleepy and went to sleep.
