Chapter 5: Zhengtianmen
In Wulei City, in a small cabin at the foot of Leiyin Mountain, Chu Jun was lying quietly on a bed, his chest rising and falling slightly, and his breathing was even and steady. The sound of insects chirping outside the window is quiet and stable, and you can't hear the roars of beasts one after another.
Chu Jun's eyebrows suddenly lit up with a soft light, and the light slowly drilled out as if it was spiritual, transforming into a woman with a graceful figure, covered in soft moonlight, and her face could not be seen clearly. The woman stood in front of Chu Jun's bed and observed for a while, and said secretly: "Obviously a weak body cultivator, how can he have the ability to heal himself?"
The woman pondered for a while, and said to herself: "The sun and the moon are shining brightly, maybe you can really give it a try!"
In the dream, Chu Jun came to the secluded valley again, and there was a bright moon hanging in the sky. Chu Jun glanced around the valley and said to himself strangely, "Why did you dream of this again?"
"Your name is Chu Jun?" a dry and cold voice suddenly sounded behind him.
Chu Jun turned around and saw a figure standing quietly behind him, covered in soft moonlight all over his body, and he couldn't see his appearance at all, but he could be sure that it was a woman.
Chu Jun nodded and said, "That's right, I dream of you every time?"
"It's very simple, I live in your sea of knowledge!" the light and shadow woman's voice was dry and cold, without the slightest emotion.
"Zhihai, you mean you live in my head?" Chu Jun said in surprise.
"That's right, that's how it can be understood!"
"Who are you and what is your purpose?" Chu Jun asked with a calm face, thinking that there was a strange person living in his head, and the boss felt uncomfortable in his heart.
For Chu Jun's questioning, the light and shadow woman didn't seem to care, and said lightly: "I like to live wherever I like, you better be obedient, otherwise you will suffer!"
Chu Jun's heart was slightly cold, this strange person was able to break into his brain, and it was indeed easy to kill himself. Seeing that Chu Jun was silent, the woman of light and shadow said lightly: "You don't have to be afraid, I won't live in your place for nothing, in exchange, I can teach you a technique!" This is a typical beating stick and then giving a sweet date.
Chu Jun said suspiciously: "What kind of exercises, martial arts?"
The woman of light and shadow was obviously stunned for a moment, and said coldly: "Naturally, it is a cultivation method, do you really not understand it or fake it!"
Chu Jun's heart moved, and he asked, "Is it the kind of exercise that can discharge electricity?"
Chu Jun was very impressed by Zhao Yu's ability to discharge the sword body, it would be good if he really had this kind of exercise, anyway, now the hope of returning to the original shijie is very slim. The fittest survive, the unfit are eliminated, and if you want to survive in the current shijie, you have to adapt to this shijie and make yourself stronger.
"No!" the woman of light and shadow said lightly: "That kind of exercise is not worth anything compared to mine!"
The woman of light and shadow seemed to be very disdainful of Chu Jun's admired discharge exercises, and Chu Jun asked in disbelief: "Your exercises are very powerful?"
"Heaven and earth, wind and wind, eternal life!" said the woman of light and shadow proudly.
Chu Jun sneered and said secretly: "The bull is blowing up, and he will not die forever!"
"Do you want to learn?" The woman of light and shadow seemed to be annoyed by Chu Jun's indifferent expression, and her dry and cold voice carried a hint of sorrow.
Chu Jun suddenly woke up and this strange person lived in his own head, if he provoked her, she would die if she gave it to herself, and hurriedly said: "I want to learn!"
Although her tone and demeanor looked fake, the Light and Shadow Woman seemed to be very satisfied, and her voice returned to an emotionless dry coldness: "My exercises are divided into two parts, one is called the Burning Moon Technique, and the other is called the Burning Sun Technique, I will first pass on the first layer of your Burning Moon Technique, if you can refine the first layer of the Burning Moon Technique, I will pass on the first layer of your Burning Sun Technique!"
Chu Jun nodded perfunctorily, and when the light and shadow woman saw this, her voice became cold: "If you can't practice the first layer of the Moon Technique...... Hmph!"
The Woman of Light and Shadow didn't say what to do, only replaced it with "hum", and this intimidation of unknown results seemed to be more effective than saying it concretely. A chill rose in Chu Jun's heart, and he straightened his waist almost as a reflex, and said secretly: "She won't eat my brain, right?"
"I'll pass you the first layer of the Moon Trick first, and you write it down by heart first!" said the light and shadow woman lightly.
Chu Jun's memory is not bad, and he soon memorized what the light and shadow woman said. The Light and Shadow Woman nodded with satisfaction and ordered: "In the future, I will practice according to the exercises at night, and if you fail to reach the top and open your mind after ten days...... Hmph!"
Chu Jun's heart was awe-inspiring: "What does this strange woman want to do? On the surface, it is not in vain to stop my sea of knowledge, so she taught me the exercises, but why does it seem that she is forcing me to practice?"
...... Dividing line ......
Early in the morning, Chu Jun was woken up by the sound of talking outside the house.
"Isn't he awake yet?" Lin Ping's voice came in.
"Not yet, it's good to be able to recover a life after being so badly injured, how can you wake up so quickly!" replied an unfamiliar voice.
"Notify me when he wakes up!" Lin Ping said lightly.
"Yes, senior brother!" said in an unfamiliar voice.
Then there was the sound of footsteps moving away, and it should be Lin Ping leaving. Chu Jun looked at the roof with wide eyes, quietly recalling what happened before he fell unconscious, as well as the first layer of the Moon Trick taught by the woman in his dream.
Chu Jun was struggling with the question of whether it was a dream or not, the door of the cabin was pushed open, and a gray-haired head poked in, his face was mottled with wind and frost, and at first glance he was the character of the bitter haha at the bottom of the society.
"Hey, I'm awake!" the man snorted in surprise, and walked in and went straight to the bed.
Chu Jun smiled kindly and asked, "Uncle, what kind of place is this?"
"Old man" said with a dark face: "Am I old?"
Chu Jun was stunned for a moment, his head was full of white hair, and the wrinkles on his face could trap the flies passing by, this is not old?
"My name is Duan Li, I've been taking care of you these days!" "This is Zhengtianmen, Senior Brother Lin Ping brought you back, you kid is lucky, he didn't die after being so seriously injured!"
"Xiexie old ...... Brother Duan's care!" Chu Jun said gratefully.
Duan Li's face was full of wrinkles blooming like chrysanthemums, and he said hehehe: "Thank you, I didn't need to, I received Senior Brother Lin's salary!"
...... Partition......
Lin Ping withdrew the two fingers pressed on Chu Jun's wrist, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he said strangely: "The injury is actually eighty percent better!"
Chu Jun nodded and said, "It's all up to Brother Lin's treatment!"
Lin Ping smiled lightly: "I'm going to call me Senior Brother Lin in the future!" As he spoke, he handed a black waist card to Chu Jun.
Chu Jun was stunned and took the waist card, Lin Ping took out a porcelain bottle and put it next to the bed and continued: "This is the reward for the ten spirit beans promised to you last time, well, I still have to leave in advance, and when you are injured, Duan Li will take you to receive the Lingtian who is in charge, if you don't understand anything, you can ask him!" After speaking, he stood up and went out.
Chu Jun held the waist card and the porcelain vase, and before his brain turned his head, listening to Lin Ping's tone, it seemed that he had given himself a great almsgiving. That kind of unquestionable imposition made Chu Jun feel uncomfortable in his heart.
Duan Li, whose face was mottled with wind and frost, looked at the black waist card in Chu Jun's hand enviously and said: "Boy, you are so lucky, you have just become an outer disciple of this sect, my son has not yet obtained the qualification to get started, so he can only wait for retirement to take my position!"
"Are many people vying to become the outer disciples of the Zhengtian Gate?" Chu Jun asked as he poured out a golden spirit bean from the porcelain vase, looking at it.
Duan Li glanced at Chu Jun with a strange look in his eyes, and said proudly: "This is naturally certain, becoming an outer disciple of this sect is equivalent to having a stable job income, and you don't have to go out of the city to do dangerous work, I don't know how many body cultivators are vying to become an outer disciple of this sect!"
Chu Jun couldn't help asking, "What kind of work are the outer disciples responsible for?"
Duan Li proudly introduced: "It is mainly planting, raising, and casting, and some are responsible for the daily chores of the faction!"
............
At night, a full moon hangs in the middle of the sky.
Chu Jun lay on the bed and looked at the roof in a daze, digesting the information he had received from Duan Li. Listening to Duan Li's meaning, when he recovers from his injury, he will follow him to plant something called Lingsu. Lingsu is the staple food of the people here, just like the rice and wheat of later generations.
Chu Jun poured out a spirit bean and sniffed it, there was no smell, threw it into his mouth and chewed it, it was sweet. I heard Duan Li say that this kind of yellow and clear spirit bean is refined with spirit millet, and ten catties of spirit millet can be made into a spirit bean, and you no longer need to eat after eating a spirit bean for a few days. Because the spirit bean can withstand thousands of years of storage, and it is a necessity of life, it has become the role of currency.
Chu Jun swallowed a spirit bean, only to feel a warm breath spread in his stomach, and his hunger was immediately gone, and he didn't feel uncomfortable holding on. Chu Jun said secretly: "It's really a good thing, saving time and effort, if those experts in the future can invent such a thing, it will definitely be revolutionary progress!"
After putting away the porcelain bottle, Chu Jun took out the beast crystals of the three fire apes and held them warmly in his hand. Listening to Duan Li, a first-grade beast crystal can be exchanged for a hundred spirit beans, and the number of second-grade beast crystals has increased tenfold. The spirit bean contains a trace amount of spiritual energy, and immortal cultivators can absorb the spiritual energy in the spiritual beans for cultivation, and physical cultivation can use the spiritual energy in it to nourish the body. The aura content in the beast crystal is much higher than that of the spirit bean, and some rich immortal cultivators prefer to use the beast crystal to cultivate, and the body cultivation can only absorb the aura to nourish the body by eating it, and naturally cannot devour the beast crystal, so the beast crystal is only useful for immortal cultivation.
Although the beast crystal is useless for the cultivation of the body cultivation, it does not mean that the body cultivation does not like the beast crystal, because the beast crystal can be exchanged for ten times the number of spirit beans. If you can hunt a beast crystal on a trip out of the city, it will be a very considerable income, so many body cultivators would rather risk their lives to go out of the city to hunt spirit beasts.
Chu Jun put away the three first-level beast crystals, looked at the top of the tent boredly, and suddenly woke up to the moon trick taught by the light and shadow woman in his dream, anyway, he was idle, so he might as well try it.
