Help, the chance to grab is poisonous

A month later, Li Chiyi seemed to be a beginner cultivator who had just introduced Qi into his body. He had painstakingly introduced the two elements of wind and fire into his body and summoned them out.The latter is because he has a physique that belongs to the mutant Leilingen, and he is born with a high affinity for the fire element.

Li Chiyi also discovered that the wind and fire elements condensed from his body have a unique arrangement, which has a unique effect compared to the wind and fire in nature.

Wei Zheng helped him discover this.

That day Weizheng went out and brought back some bundles of spiritual grass, and found four or five medicine stoves from his storage bag, and said to him: "You are busy practicing all day long, and you don't even have time to eat wild fruits to satisfy your hunger. , how about refining some bigu pills by yourself, which not only saves time for eating, but also can exercise your ability to control firepower by refining pills."

Li Chiyi felt that what he said was right, nodded and agreed, took the stove and spirit grass, and began to refine the elixir by himself.

Half an hour later, Li Chiyi pointed at the puddle of molten iron on the ground: "..."

Even Weizheng was shocked. He touched his nose and said thoughtfully, "Your firepower is comparable to real fire."

Although these medicine stoves are not high-quality spiritual weapons, they are also made of cast iron, ordinary fires can't do anything to them, the young man accidentally burned the medicine stove, which shows that the fire in his hand is not ordinary fire.

Li Chiyi grabbed another medicine stove and tried to repeat the action just now. Wei Zheng grabbed his wrist and coughed: "There are just a few stoves. If you burn them, they will be gone."

The young man was eager to try: "Then what about Bigu Pill?"

Wei Zheng: "Wait tonight."

In the evening, Wei Zheng brought back some fish and a half-human snake to Li Chiyi: "You still don't have enough ability to control fire, let's practice with these fish and snakes first."

Li Chiyi took the fish and snake and started to bake his own dinner.

Recalling the situation of baking the chemical furnace just now, Li Chiyi closed his eyes and tried to summon the fire element in the air.

The wood and water elements in Qiwujing are very active, but every time the young man tries to touch them, these wood and water elements are like slippery fish, slipping away before his consciousness gets close.

The wind element and the fire element are much more well-behaved, and they even appear to be very close to Li Chiyi's spiritual consciousness. When the spiritual consciousness touches them, these elements will actively flow into his body, flowing in the veins, Blend in with the teenagers.

With a thought in Li Chi's mind, those fire elements gathered at his fingertips. With his eyes closed, he could see the arrangement of these fire elements better - they were arranged in a slightly loose state, and the elements in the outer flame were especially active , the inner flame is quiet and orderly.

All in all, this is a very well-behaved and lively flame.

The boy squatted down, grabbed the fish skewered with branches in one hand, maintained the flame with the other hand, and started grilling.

The tempting burnt aroma slowly came from the fish, Li Chiyi tried to gather more fire elements in the air, and arranged them regularly in the palm of his hand, in order to obtain a larger group of flames.The bigger the flame, the harder it is to maintain the consciousness. After a while, beads of sweat appeared on the young man's smooth forehead.

With a bang, the fire in Li Chiyi's hand could not be controlled to disperse, and the air exploded like a dazzling flame. He hurriedly took a few steps back to cover his face, and only then did he protect his face.

However, the fish in his hand had already turned into a block of carbon, which could not be saved.

"This is impossible!" He couldn't believe it, why did he fail like this?Even summoning wind and fire elements was not so difficult, it was just a small grilled fish!Li Chiyi snorted coldly, grabbed the second fish and continued his barbecue business.

Half a quarter of an hour later, looking at the second charcoal-grilled fish, Li Chiyi: ...

After grilling four carbon fish and one carbon snake, the boy spent a night speechless in hunger.

On the fourth day, although Li Chiyi didn't say anything, the look he cast towards Weizheng already contained resentment.At this moment, he was able to grill the fish until it was half-cooked. The skill was not good, and he could barely eat it, but the taste was extremely indescribable.

Li Chiyi just ate the grilled fish for seven or eight days. When he was able to cook the fish thoroughly without carbonization, he immediately devoted himself to the work of refining Bigu Dan.Finally, after failing countless times and melting four or five furnaces, he finally produced a furnace of Bigu Pill.

Realizing that he finally didn't need to eat grilled fish, the boy kept smiling from the corner of his mouth when he practiced sword in the morning until the sun went down.

In the evening, Wei Zheng came back with a Kong Ying in his hand.

The young man smiled reservedly: "Senior Wei, I don't need to eat barbecue anymore, because I have successfully refined a batch of bigu pills last night."

Wei Zheng shook the frightened and struggling big bird in his hand: "It's to celebrate your success in alchemy."

Li Chiyi: "...I only know how to grill fish."

Wei Zheng: "I bake."

In order to celebrate the young man's success in refining the first pill, Wei Zheng plucked Kong Ying's hair and roasted it, and then specially dug out a jar of ten thousand-year-old wine from Qichi Palace, and invited Li Chiyi to drink it together.

Li Chiyi took Kong Ying's leg meat from him politely, and tried to take a bite.

After a stick of incense.

"Eat slowly, don't choke." Wei Zheng handed him a bag of wine, and said with satisfaction, "I haven't baked anything in almost 1000 years, and I vaguely remember that the Kong Ying tastes good, I hope the craftsmanship doesn't go backwards."

Li Chiyi raised his head and took a sip of the wine, wondering, "Is there water in the wine?"

Wei Zheng nodded: "You are young, drinking will hurt your health."

Li Chiyi: ...

Without saying a word, he snatched the undiluted wine from the other party's hand and downed it in one gulp.Wei Zheng shook his head and smiled, "Young and energetic."

Li Chiyi couldn't hide his emotions after all because alcohol could strengthen his courage, and he said mockingly: "I already know how far I can go in this life. I'm going to die anyway, so it's better to live as I want."

Wei Zheng said: "When you can realize the true meaning of what you said, you will be able to truly break through the shackles."

Li Chiyi sobered up a little from his drunkenness.

The words just now were just self-deprecating, but he didn't expect Wei Zheng's words to have a deep meaning. He frowned and asked, "Senior Wei, what's the explanation?"

"Why do people practice Dao?"

For monks, this question is like someone insisting on asking why people eat.If someone else asked, Li Chiyi would not answer him at all, because this question is too natural and it is too difficult to give a reason.

Li Chiyi thought for a while: "Master told me since I was a child that cultivation is to pursue the way of heaven and earth, or in other words, the way of longevity."

Wei Zheng: "What do you think now?"

Li Chiyi frowned slightly: "I am practicing the Five Elements Art, so naturally it is no longer the way of longevity."

Seeing the young man's demeanor, Wei Zheng knew that he still couldn't get rid of the concepts instilled by his teachers since he was a child, and said with a faint smile: "The way of longevity is to pursue the same life as the world, but the world also has an end. In fact, the way of longevity is also good. , other ways are fine, but in the end you can’t escape the death word.”

These remarks obviously contradicted the education he had received since he was a child. Li Chiyi couldn't help but retort: ​​"But the lifespan of heaven and earth is long, and it is equivalent to eternity for human beings."

"The reason why heaven and earth can last for a long time is that they can't live on their own, so they can live forever. To pursue the way of longevity, practitioners must abandon the seven emotions and six desires and ignore them, so as to understand the mystery of this."

The reason why heaven and earth can last for a long time is that they can't live by themselves, so they can live forever.

In this world, no matter which Taoist sect a cultivator enters, he or she will have heard this sentence.It comes from the Taoist classic "Tao Te Ching", to the effect that the reason why heaven and earth can exist for a long time is because it does not live for itself, so that it can obtain eternal life.

Then when it comes to people, if people want to live forever, they have to be detached from things, without sorrow or joy.

Since the prosperity of the righteous way, this sentence has been handed down and become the standard for practitioners to pursue longevity.

"In order to pursue longevity, most people cut off their ties with the world since they were young, escaped into Taoism, and began to practice from refining Qi. Many people could not even see the hope of ascension, and most of them fell into the struggle of the weak and the strong, and survived. , there are still half of them that will not survive the catastrophe."

Wei Zheng casually picked up an ant from the ground.

Following his movements, the young man set his eyes on the ant.

Wei Zheng put it on Broken Sword, and put the sword on the fire to roast.The little insects and ants are cute, at first they spun around on the sword, but when the sword absorbed the heat, they felt uneasy and crawled desperately towards the hilt.

"Look, don't the cultivators in this world look like these ants? They spend their whole lives trying to survive, and in the end no one can remember them, so they are obliterated in history in obscurity. What's the point of living like this? .”

Li Chiyi frowned and said: "Whoever likes to do this ants can do it, but it must not be me. Practicing swords is my hobby, not for the sake of cultivation. Besides, if I don't enter the Zhanxianmen and practice Taoism, how can I do it?" Meet a teacher who treats me like a close relative?"

"If you were born in the mortal world, you would also have a teacher who treats you like a close relative, and you can also practice swords. From this point of view, what is the difference between you and those mortals?" Wei Zheng asked, "Since you have your teacher As close relatives, how long have you been with them? Compared with the time you spent on cultivation, which one is more or less?"

Li Chiyi: ...

He suddenly remembered that in his previous life, he had lived under the protection of his master's sect since he was a child, and was much loved, but he was obsessed with cultivation all day long and ignored the outside world. It was not until the master's sect suffered a disaster that he regretted it too much.

"How many spiritual plants have cultivated for thousands of years, just to transform into human forms. As spirit grasses and spirit trees, they already have a nearly eternal lifespan, but they are willing to risk the danger of catastrophe to cultivate human forms, just to experience the joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys of being human And human beings get rid of emotions and desires, and learn to live like grass and trees, like ants, isn't it ridiculous and sad?"

These words coincided with Li Chiyi's philosophy when he was educating Xiao Chenxi.

Since you want to be a human being, you must live like a human being.

However, along the way of cultivation, they develop in the direction of destroying human desires and getting rid of cause and effect, but they live a life that is even less human than spirits.

"Then how should we live?" Li Chiyi murmured.

The moon was sparse, and Wei Zheng was lying on the grass, chewing and laughing at the corner of his mouth, with one hand on the pillow and the other hand stretched out, his fingers randomly scratched a few times in the void, leaving no trace.

Following the movement of that finger, Li Chiyi murmured out the four words written by the other party using the sky as a paper——

Live to death.

Li Chiyi:? ? ?What kind of nonsense is this?

He thought for a while, and suddenly a wry smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. Although he couldn't see the true meaning of this sentence, the current him was born to die.

Perhaps it was because of some unbearable past memories, the young man was immersed in his own thoughts, so he didn't notice that there were dim scales faintly exposed on the man's arm stretched out into the void, and disappeared suddenly.
