I am honest

Chapter 12

As the saying goes, sharpening a knife is not a mistake in chopping firewood. Bao Gu knows that his talent for cultivating immortals is not good, and cultivating immortals is by no means a one-time achievement. Do.

Bao Gu put away the bottle of "Qi Refining Pill" that Yu Mi gave her, looked at the sky outside the window, and found that the sun was already high in the sky.She didn't expect to wake up so late and sleep until early in the morning.

Bao Gu hurried to the kitchen to fetch water to wash up.When she washed her face, she actually rubbed off a layer of dirt from her face, and the washing water became cloudy.

Bao Gu knew that this was the effect of Zhu Mingguo, but he didn't expect that there would be so many impurities and dirt in his body!This is already the case on the face, not to mention the body.Bao Gu simply ran to a place far away from the residence to clean up the smelly smell, and then went to the stream outside the courtyard to wash his whole body clean before returning to the house.

She was not willing to wear the two sets of brand new martial arts costumes just sent by Yu Mi, but changed into the clean clothes she had left to dry by the stream.

Probably because Zhu Mingguo ate too much yesterday, and Baogu didn't feel hungry at all. She mixed cold boiled water with some salt and drank it, and continued to work with a hoe on her shoulder.

When she washed the mats in the yard last night, she found that there was no gutter in the yard.She dug a drainage ditch about a foot long, wide and deep around the house along the place where there were dripping marks under the eaves and platform.The drainage ditch leads all the way to the latrine she dug yesterday, and then she went to the woods outside the yard to cut down some trees and find some strong vines with large leaves to build a simple hut above the latrine.

Baogu knew how stinky the poop would be when she ate Zhu Mingguo to eliminate the dirt in her body. She didn't want to smell the stinky smell all day long, so she made a toilet-like cover for the latrine to deodorize it.After finishing all this, she finally felt that the yard was barely livable.

Because Baogu couldn't tell which were panaceas and which were weeds, he didn't dare to touch the vegetation in the yard.She was afraid of stepping on the elixir by mistake, so she was extremely careful when she landed, and tried her best to walk on the roadbed marks left in the yard before.

After a busy day, Baogu was covered in stinky sweat, and a layer of mud formed on her body again. She went to the stream to take a bath, and then went back to the house to find out the jade slips and study the knowledge of spiritual herbs and elixir.

Bao Gu liked to read since she was a child, and the knowledge recorded in the jade slips made her very interested, and she studied it fascinatedly.

The jade slips in the world of cultivating immortals are different from the books in the mortal world. You only need to put it on your forehead to read it, even in a dark room without lights.

If she hadn't remembered to get up in the morning to breathe and practice Qi, she really wanted to read it day and night.

Bao Gu ate eight Zhu Ming Guo at a time, and he didn't feel hungry for three days, so he knew that Zhu Ming Guo could not only eliminate the dirt in the body but also fill his stomach.She simply ate Zhu Ming Guo as a meal, eating a Zhu Ming Guo every day at noon to remove scale and satisfy her hunger.

She gets up early in the morning when the sky is dim, eats a "Qi Refining Pill" given to her by Yumi, and sits on the stone bridge over the creek outside the courtyard to face the morning sun and meditate to refine Qi.

Although she couldn't feel the "qi" mentioned in the exercises, she felt comfortable breathing the fresh air with the fragrance of plants and trees and the water vapor of streams according to the exhalation exercises mentioned in the exercises. After eating "Dan", she always felt warm from the abdomen to the whole body, and because of the effect of Zhu Mingguo in the body, she could discharge a layer of dirt every time she meditated, refreshed, and her mind was very clear. Memory is much better.The knowledge of spiritual grasses and elixir recorded on the jade slips can basically be understood and memorized after reading it the first time, can be memorized roughly after the second time, and can be memorized firmly after the third time.

Bao Gu was not surprised. Her memory has always been good. When she used to memorize books, she could basically memorize them after reading them four or five times. Now in this quiet mountain forest, there is no outside noisy interference, and her memory has improved. It is a matter of course.What's more, the text description of each elixir and spirit herb is between a few hundred words, and it is also equipped with the same pattern as the original.Graphics with text, the memory effect is naturally very obvious.

※※※

One Zhu Mingguo, one Qi Refining Pill, two hours of breathing and meditation every day, persisted for half a month, Baogu finally felt a vague "qi" in his body.She knew that this was the "qi" mentioned in "refining qi and transforming essence", true qi.

Although it was only a little bit, it lifted Bao Gu's spirit, and the existence of this "qi" let her know that she had stepped into the first stage of the qi refining period.She carefully guided this "qi" according to the guidelines of the exercises.

She guided it very carefully without daring to be careless, and finally this "qi" entered the dantian three inches below her abdomen under her guidance.She guided it out of the dantian according to the guidance of the exercise method, and wanted to follow the trend of the meridians just now to make another circle of Qi.However, she found that when the "Qi" came out of Dantian and met the acupoints, it was difficult to guide it downward, as if it was blocked.She understands that this is because there is too little "qi" in her body, and the meridians and acupoints of the human body are not smooth, which requires her to use the "qi" in her body to slowly open up these acupoints in her future practice. It is not enough to open up these meridian points.

After half a month of practice, Bao Gu has entered the first level of Qi refining stage, and Bao Gu is already very satisfied.

She had read some mountain biographies about the cultivation of scholars before, and it took at least three to five years for those people to meditate and practice qi every day before they could feel the qi in their bodies.With the help of the Qi Refining Pill given to her by Zhu Minguo and Yu Mi, she managed it in half a month.This allowed Baogu to see hope in the future, and at the same time made her deeply aware of the importance of panacea support.

Zhu Mingguo is covered with fruits, even if she eats one every day, she can still eat it for at least half a year.She ate up all the Qi Refining Pills Yumi gave her.Seeing that Yu Mi gave her this bottle of Qi Refining Pill so distressed, she knew that Yu Mi would not be willing to give her a second bottle.

To be a human being is to strive for self-sufficiency and self-sufficiency is the ability. Relying on the help of seniors and sisters is not a long-term solution.

Bao Gu put his hope of advancing on those elixir herbs in the yard.

In the past half a month, she has finished studying the jade slips and memorized them fluently.She is familiar with the habits and effects of these elixir herbs.

Bao Gu didn't sit by the creek and read the jade slips as usual after receiving his meritorious service.She got up and went back to the yard to start clearing the weeds in the yard.In the process of clearing the weeds, she found many elixir and herbs suitable for monks in the Qi refining stage, and occasionally some elixir and herbs suitable for monks in the foundation stage.

Baogu carried the medicine basket on his back, pulled out all the weeds, stuffed them into the medicine basket and threw them far away from the yard.

The yard was too big, there were too many weeds, and the grain was pulled out because they were afraid of damaging the elixir, so the progress was slow.Fortunately, she has enough time. Apart from meditating and practicing Qi every day and going to bed at night, she squats in the yard and pulls weeds.It took her three whole days to get rid of the weeds.

Bao Gu instantly felt that his yard was full of treasures, full of elixir!There are more than 700 elixir plants in the yard, distributed everywhere, and there are more than 30 varieties.Some panaceas with a growth cycle of only three to five years have already blossomed and shed seeds, and some have even sprouted and taken root.

She collected those blooming and falling seeds, and prepared to sow and grow more elixir in the future; she carefully circled the newly grown, inconspicuous elixir seedlings, and divided the places where elixir gathered together into divisions. Medicine fields of different sizes.

Bao Gu was afraid that he would accidentally step on these elixirs while looking at them, so he carefully built a narrow path around these irregular medicine fields.

In the next few days, apart from meditating on the stone bridge by the stream every morning and going back to the house to sleep at night, Bao Gu would circle around these elixirs until the medicine field was neatly tidied up.

The reward for hard work is more than 30 mature first-order elixir plants with a growth cycle of only three to five years.

Early in the morning, after Baogu got up, he went to take a bath in the creek to wash away the dirt that he excreted from his body at night, and then went back to the medicine field to pull out a mature elixir that he had hoped for a long time ago, rinsed it with the stream water and ate it until his stomach Then sit on the stone bridge by the stream and meditate with luck.

Not long after, Bao Gu felt a sense of coolness in his body, and strands of true energy emerged from his meridians.This is very different from the feeling when I didn't have the Qi Refining Pill a few days ago and only relied on breathing to absorb the spiritual energy of the surrounding world.Only relying on breathing and absorbing the spiritual energy of the surrounding world, she couldn't feel any real energy after sitting for two hours, only a little warmth that made her whole body comfortable in the continuous surge of real energy in her dantian.After taking this elixir, one can clearly feel the growth of true qi in the body.

After two hours, Bao Gu paid off.She hadn't had diarrhea for a long time and felt a cramping pain in her lower abdomen, and hurriedly rushed to the distant tree.She is familiar with the jade slips, and knows that elixir is different from folk crops. Folk crops need nutrients from dung, but elixir is most afraid of those filth. Once it gets on the elixir, it will be finished.

After Bao Gu solved the three urgent problems, he discovered the difference between the elixir and the elixir.Her elixir will not cause stinky smell, but after taking this elixir, it will produce a lot of green and black stinky smell.She guessed that the elixir had gone through a refining process, and the impurities in the elixir that were not conducive to human absorption had been removed.She swallowed the elixir directly, and the rest of the elixir that could not be absorbed would have to go through the Temple of the Five Viscera again.She reckoned that the elixir mixed with Zhu Mingguo would also have the effect of catalyzing the medicinal effect. She hadn't felt hungry for a while, but she was so hungry that her chest was pressed against her back.She knew that Zhu Mingguo couldn't eat too much, and it was okay for her to eat Zhu Mingguo for a short time, but her body would not be able to bear it after a long time.Just look at her now translucent white skin and thin arms like sticks.

Baogu wants to eat meat!

There are fish in the creek, and there are many, many fish, she can go fishing and eat!

There are still a lot of game jumping around in the forest outside. She has a bow and arrow and can hunt.

Bao Gu did what he said.She went back to the house, took the medicine basket and went straight to the creek. She touched some snails in the stream, smashed the shells with stones, put the snails in the medicine basket, tied the medicine basket with rattan, and came to a distance about [-] minutes from the wooden house. There is a pool of water three or four hundred paces away.

There is a drop of more than five or six feet in the upper reaches of the water, forming a small waterfall. Below the waterfall is an irregular oval-shaped deep pool.Baogu saw that the water was so clear that he could not see the bottom of the pool, so he estimated that the pool was very deep.Fortunately, her vines are more than one foot long, which is enough.

She put two stones in the medicine basket and threw them into the pool. As the medicine basket sank, the long vine in her hand also kept hanging down.The vines in her hand had come to an end, and the medicine basket hadn't sunk to the bottom yet.

Bao Gu couldn't help being a little dazed: How could a creek and waterfall less than one foot rush out of such a deep pool of water?There are so many strange things in Xianmen!

Bao Gu wanted to test how deep the water was, so she fixed the vine around a big rock by the pool.Then he picked up a big stone weighing about seven or eight catties and threw it out vigorously into the depths of the pool.

There was a sound of "boom", and a huge splash was splashed from the stone, and it sank to the bottom of the water with small bubbles.

After a while, the blisters disappeared and the water surface became calm again.Bao Gu still didn't find out how many pools there are!She doesn't know how to swim, so she decided to stay away from this pool in the future.In such a deep pool, there were no fish jumping on the surface of the water, so Bao Gu put away the medicine basket and planned to put the medicine basket in a place where fish could be seen to catch fish.

As soon as she lifted the medicine basket out of the water, she saw blisters "gurgling" in the center of the pool, and the huge bubbles made a huge splash in the center of the pool.

Bao Gu looked up in surprise, and then heard a loud splashing sound, and a huge white snake head suddenly appeared on the water surface, and the snake eyes the size of copper bells were staring at her intently.

"Damn!" Bao Gu yelled, and ran away. After running a few steps, he remembered that he still had a medicine basket, so he grabbed the medicine basket and ran desperately, and at the same time shouted: "Senior sister, help me, there are people in the pool." Beast, help..." She ran less than two feet away, when she suddenly saw the snake appearing in the stream in front of her, swinging its body and swimming fast, quickly passed her, and "wow" Breaking through the water, he jumped out of the water and stopped in front of her.The snake's body was much thicker than hers, it came out of the water, only a small half of its body lay across the road and blocked her way, and a long part of its body was buried in the water.This is not a snake, it is simply a water dragon.Bao Gu was so frightened that he didn't even dare to take a step, and he didn't dare to breathe. He looked at the big white snake that stood up high and looked down at him tremblingly.

She looked at the big white snake, and the big white snake looked at her.She saw that the big white snake stared at her as if searching for something, and had no intention of attacking.Bao Gu suddenly remembered what her senior sister had said about the mountain guard beasts in the fairy gate, and these mountain guard beasts would not attack the disciples of the fairy gate.She hurriedly took off the outer disciple waist card hanging around her waist, held it in her hand, showed it to the big white snake in front of her, and said, "My name is Bao Gu, and I am an outer disciple recruited by Fairy Yumi."

The big white snake's mouth opened slightly, and unexpectedly opened an arc, its expression was as vivid as a person's laughing.

The next moment, Baogu heard a human voice from the big white snake's mouth: "Haha, that foodie in Yumi actually accepted a five-waste root! Oh, it stinks! You're so scared that you can't control yourself!" The head of the big white snake With a twist, it slipped into the creek again, and retracted into the deep pool.

Bao Gu heaved a long sigh of relief when he saw the big white snake swimming back into the deep pool. She patted her chest and shouted: "I was scared to death! It is really a mountain guardian beast, so big." She also smelled the stench, and at the same time I felt sticky behind my buttocks, and then I realized that I had diarrhea again, and in the shock just now—it leaked out!

Baogu's chrysanthemum tightened, threw the medicine basket in her hand, and ran towards the wooden house quickly. She was ashamed and angrily defended loudly: "Dabai, I didn't lose control because of fright, I, I, I... I just had diarrhea!"
