Chapter 2 Meditation on a Rainy Night
It's another rainy night!
Kong Zhuo doesn't like rainy nights, because eight years ago, on a day like this, he and his parents encountered a disaster on the way home, and both parents were killed. Although eight years have passed, the events of that night are still firmly remembered. It was imprinted in his mind, unforgettable.
Therefore, every rainy night, he couldn't sleep. Every time, he would sit at the small table in front of the window of his hut and stare out the window until dawn.
In Luo Fu, he is also considered a slightly privileged person because he is Luo Fu's inner disciple.
Today, there are many sects in the world, and there are as many people practicing and seeking immortality as crucian carp crossing the river. There are people coming up to the mountain almost every day, begging these sects to accept them as disciples, so as to realize their dream of cultivating immortality and immortality.
But how could cultivating an immortal be so easy? If it were as easy as they imagined, wouldn't the world be full of immortals and not even a single mortal?
To practice this kind of thing, you need fate. What is fate? To put it bluntly, it's luck. If you're lucky, you can ascend after one or two years of cultivation. If you're unlucky, you won't be able to meet a practitioner even if you're a mortal for a hundred years.
In addition, although there are many sects of cultivation, it is not easy to find them. Take the Luofu sect for example. Their mountain gate is built deep in Luofu Mountain. If ordinary people want to get close, they must climb over several gates. It takes at least hundreds of miles to reach the mountain peaks and around several waterfalls.
However, throughout the year, there are always a few people who are lucky enough to find the mountain gate, and not all of those who find the mountain gate are accepted. If their qualifications are too poor, the Luofu sect will not accept them, but this cultivator It's not that it's impersonal. Those who are kicked out don't just go back the way they came. Instead, there will be dedicated disciples to send them back, which can be regarded as the most benevolent and righteous thing.
Although this first level is considered harsh, you can't handle the large number of people. One year is not much, two years is not much, what about ten or twenty years, what about one hundred or two hundred years?
Luo Fu established the sect four thousand years ago, and the lifespan of practitioners is extremely long. A person who lives for one or two hundred years is considered a prime man. The longest record is a super old man who lived for one thousand three hundred and fifty-eight years. Do you think Think about it, over the past four thousand years, how many people have accumulated in this sect.
Although the qualifications of these people are not bad, it is impossible for this cultivation sect to pass on the cultivation techniques to so many people, because when there are too many people, bad things will happen. God knows if you will get hot and memorize it one day. If I teach you the most profound cultivation method in the sect, you can take it and leave. One or two is enough. If there are ten, twenty, one hundred or two hundred, I can handle it. Is it much?
Therefore, there are always a few lucky ones.
Most people are only taught some basic methods of cultivating and nourishing Qi, and do some work of patrolling the mountains. Occasionally, they will show kindness and get a few inner disciples to come out and teach them some sword moves. These people , that is, outer sect disciples, and most sects will have a time limit. For example, if an outer sect disciple has not been promoted to an inner sect disciple within twenty years, he will have to go down the mountain and support himself. No matter how big the sect is, it cannot support so many idle people.
But the inner disciples are different, they are the real practitioners.
Every year, each sect will select those disciples with excellent qualifications and rapid progress among the outer disciples, promote them to inner disciples, and teach them more advanced cultivation methods. There will not be many such people, even if that really happens. Even if there is such a thing as defecting, you can't escape.
Of course, the inner disciples are also divided into three, six or nine levels.
People like Kong Zhuo are high-level inner sect disciples. Because he has a master, he is the core disciple of the inner sect.
In such a large sect, there will never be more than twenty disciples of his level. Now the Luofu Sect has ten core inner disciples, and he is one of them.
Therefore, he has his own small single room, while other ordinary inner disciples have a dormitory with several people to one room, and the outer disciples have a large dormitory.
In this generation, there are ten people of his generation, and he ranks fifth. The other nine are all disciples of Luo Fu's Five Swords.
From all this, it can be clearly seen that he is a destined person and a very lucky person.
The rain gradually became lighter, and it continued to pour in the middle of the night, finally showing signs of stopping.
Faintly, through the thick clouds, a full moon appeared or disappeared, emitting pus-covered moonlight. Under the transpiration of water vapor, it slowly formed a moon halo, as crystal clear as jade.
"call--!"
Kong Zhuo let out a long breath and sat up from the table, no longer feeling sleepy at all.
Gently pushing open the wooden door of the cabin, a fresh breath of steamy air blew through the door, clearing his mind.
Slowly, as he walked out of the door, with the raindrops still hitting his body, Kong Zhuo took a deep breath, and with a slight movement of his body, he jumped onto the roof and shot towards the green pine flat.
In the night sky, his plump body did not appear bloated or clumsy at all. Instead, he had a freshness and agility that was out of proportion to his body.
In terms of cultivation, among the ten inner sect core disciples, he is below average, but in terms of body technique and body-lighting skills, among the ten disciples, he is not only ranked first, but at least in the top three.
He is afraid of death!
In his mind, this skill of making light of one's body is equal to the skill of escaping. He escaped from death once. Although he was young at that time, it already had a psychological shadow. He never wanted to experience that again. So, among all the cultivation methods, this is the body method that he practices the most diligently. As for the others, think about it again, this kid only eats and sleeps, and besides sleeping and eating, he also often does things. In the remaining time of the cooking show, apart from this light work, what else is there?
He is also smart. He can remember the other skills once he sees them and listens to them once, so his cultivation in this body is passable.
Therefore, although his figure is not very good, in terms of qualifications, he is one of the best among the ten core disciples. His master also knows this. If it were anyone else, he would have been working like a supervisor all day long. She stayed by his side to supervise his practice, but this guy was also a lazy person, focusing on drinking. For Kong Zhuo, he only did some fighting from time to time, and just passed on the practice skills and swordsmanship. Just him.
In his words, even if the master introduces everyone to practice and spends a lot of time teaching disciples, it is not worthwhile.
This is actually a bargain for Kong Zhuo, and he has a lot of free time.
He also lived extremely carefree and at ease.
Kong Zhuo's figure was gliding in the night rain, flying towards the Qingsongping like a big bird.
Qingsongping is located in the back mountain of Luofu Gate, but it is not within the Luofu sect. It is about dozens of miles away from Luofu's large backyard. Normally, Luofu disciples are busy practicing martial arts, and few people come. There are dense pine trees there, stretching for several miles, and the terrain is It is flat, so it is called Qingsongping. There are many grouse and wild animals in the forest. It is the best place for him to hunt for wild food. Over time, he even chooses this place to practice martial arts.
When he was tired from practicing, he would catch some game and burn it. There was a unique flavor in this pine forest. Therefore, his weight also increased in proportion to the number of times he practiced.
Gently, in mid-air, his plump body, like a dead leaf, slowly landed on an open space in Qingsongping.
Looking up at the sky, covered by dark clouds, the blue sky looks even more distant and peaceful.
"It would be great if I could fly with a sword like my senior brother!" He thought to himself.
The method of flying with a sword is available in Luofu Mountain, and he has also learned it. However, although he is a core disciple of the inner sect, after all, his time to get started is too short. In just eight years, there is no way to master the method of flying with a sword. Why, besides, if you want to fly with a sword, you not only need to have advanced cultivation, but also refine a flying sword, and the embryo of this flying sword is not something he can get casually, like Luo In a sect like Fumen, generally speaking, when your cultivation reaches a certain level, the master will naturally give you a sword embryo, allowing you to use your own energy to nourish the sword, and finally refine it into a flying sword. However, this pair The requirements for disciples' cultivation are still very high.
If you want to be gifted with a sword fetus, you must refine the innate purple energy secretly taught by the Luofu Sect to the third level. But now, Kong Zhuo has just refined the innate purple energy to the peak of the first level, and has not yet broken through to the third level. How to get the sword fetus at the second level.
In mid-air, a bright moon squeezed out of the clouds, but the rain had completely stopped, and the extremely dense dark clouds in the sky gradually dispersed. For a while, the moon was bright, the stars were sparse, and the silvery glow was everywhere.
Kong Zhuo, who originally just wanted to come out for some air, thought on a whim, "Anyway, there is nothing going on, so why not take advantage of the moonlight to practice some training first, and then break through the first level of the innate purple energy and enter the second level. It's on the second floor!"
