Chapter 46 Close Your Eyes Close Your Heart
Life in the mountains is boring. Cultivation is Lu Heng's only pastime to pass the time.
However, this time, after Lu Heng settled down, he didn't enter that vague and blurred state again.
Although he felt that his soul seemed to roam in a blazing white sea of lightning, he never turned into healthy thunder clouds, nor did he see so many strange scenes.
Only his consciousness was floating in the thunder and lightning, floating lightly, between half dreaming and half waking.
In this state, time seems to pass faster.
Although Lu Heng could clearly feel how long the time had passed, and he could easily get out of this state, but he was comfortable in this state.
The passage of time made him feel no more suffering.
It seemed that only a few breaths had passed, but when he finished his latent cultivation and opened his eyes again, he understood that it was already seven days later outside.
After waking up this time, Lu Heng felt a little hungry.
Although he became less and less dependent on food with the improvement of cultivation, he still could not live without eating.
After a thought, Lu Heng left the underground temple and headed above.
When he returned to the wolf god temple again, he didn't find Xiao Ai there. He sensed deeply and found that the little girl was not reclaiming wasteland in the back mountain, but in the bamboo forest not far from the wolf God Temple.
And not alone...
Lu Heng was curious and walked directly towards the bamboo forest.
At this time, it was already winter. Although there was no snow yet, most of the trees in the mountains were withered.
Many dead leaves were scattered on the bluestone path in front of the Wolf God Temple. Although Xiao Ai cleans the path every day, the withered leaves are endless. Even if she cleans three times a day, she can't sweep them away.
In the chilly wind, Lu Heng walked along the bluestone path for some time, then left the bluestone path leading to the foot of the mountain and headed for the mountain forest on one side.
Before long, he heard the rustling sound of the cold wind blowing through the bamboo forest.
Bamboo is evergreen all year-round. Even in the winter, the bamboo forest is still lush and green.
The ground among the bamboo forests was covered with a soft layer of withered and yellow bamboo leaves. The soft touch of stepping on it was very comfortable.
But in the quiet and dusty bamboo forest, there was a White Ape sitting on a rock in the bamboo forest with closed eyes and knees crossed.
Beside the White Ape stood a little girl with an expressionless face. Holding a bamboo stick in her hand, the girl stood silently behind the White Ape like a haunted ghost.
Once the White Ape secretly opened his eyes and looked around, or was distracted, the bamboo stick in the little girl's hand would be heavily drawn on the White Ape, and the White Ape screamed. The White Ape would quickly close his heart and eyes and continue to cultivate, so as not to be beaten by the bamboo stick again.
Lu Heng, who saw this scene, twitched at the corners of his mouth.
He recognized the White Ape, who was the leader of the monkeys in the mountain. He found Xiao Ai's "Body" in time and transported Xiao Ai's body to the mountain temple before Lu Heng could save the girl.
Obviously, Xiao Ai was teaching the monkey to cultivate and wanted to guide the monkey into the path of cultivation to repay his life-saving kindness.
It's just that the wild monkey in the mountain only wants to play and have fun. If you force it to sit in a place to meditate and practice, it's even worse than killing it.
Moreover, it is even more difficult to guide spirit Qi into the body in the first step of demon cultivation. It takes a very long time, and it can't be completed in a few days.
With Xiao Ai's severity today, I'm afraid that the White Ape's fur will be whipped off before it learned how to guide the spirit Qi in its body.
This little girl's way to repay the White Ape's kindness is really...
Lu Heng shook his head wordlessly. He really didn't know what to say.
After standing in the bamboo forest for a long time, Lu Heng saw that the Ape burst into tears. Lu Heng really couldn't stand it anymore. He shook his head and turned away. He didn't appear to disturb Xiao Ai and the Ape.
Although Xiao Ai's method is somewhat strict, it is a good thing for the wild ape in the mountain to step into the right path of cultivation.
The ape understands this too, so although he felt pain, he had no intention of resisting and running away. He always sat there and tried to guide the spirit Qi in his body.
But an ape is also a kind of a monkey, even if it wants to study hard, it can't help being lazy.
From this point of view, Xiao Ai's strict means of supervision may be the most suitable for this white ape.
Thinking of this, Lu Heng couldn't help laughing, and began to look forward to whether the ape could really step on the path of demon cultivation.
After leaving the bamboo forest, he didn't wander in the mountains. He went down near the river, bend directly and swallowed dozens of live fish in one bite by taking advantage of the power of the mountain god. He lamented that his appetite had indeed become much lower. At the same time, Lu Heng returned to the mountains to cultivate again.
The roaring thunder woke up the monkeys in the bamboo forest.
The White Ape subconsciously raised his head and saw the blazing white thunder and lightning falling in the sky. The aura of thunder, which makes all things afraid, surges in the bamboo forest.
"Gee!"
The White Ape just wanted to talk, but the bamboo strip behind him suddenly pulled over.
"Close your eyes! Stop! Cultivate obediently!"
The little girl mercilessly slapped the White Ape. The pain almost made him jump up.
It was not until the seven thunders fell and the mountain became quiet again that the girl looked in the direction of the Wolf God Temple and knew in her heart that the wolf God had been in his cultivation again.
Alas... the wolf God is so noble, but he still keeps practicing. He is never arrogant because of his own divine power.
Under the gate of the wolf God, I will also cultivate hard.
Thinking like this, the little girl looked at the ape in front of her, and her eyes became more and more severe.
She must teach the monkey to cultivate as soon as possible and free herself from the shackles of teaching. Only in this way can she continue her latent cultivating and never fail to live up to the expectations of the wolf God.
In the little girl's heart, she silently made up her mind and decided to be more strict with the ape.
Lu Heng, who returned to the underground temple, didn't know that his busy cultivation made the White Ape's life more miserable in the future
Time flies by.
The days of cultivation in the mountains are simple and boring, but after a long time, they can gradually get used to it.
Under the strict instruction of the girl, it took a full seven days for the White Ape to finally complete the first step of demon cultivation and learned how to guide spirit Qi into its body.
Later, when Lu Heng went out, the little girl asked Lu Heng. With Lu Heng's permission, Xiao Ai taught the White Ape the demon cultivation method that Lu Heng taught her.
So when Lu Heng was doing his underground cultivation, the girl and the ape also cultivated in the mountain.
But the White Ape was afraid of the girl. After learning the demon cultivation method, he ran away and wanted to cultivate alone.
However, a monkey is a monkey after all. Although he learned the method of demon cultivation, the White Ape still played with monkeys in the mountains all day long, and his cultivation speed soon fell down.
Half a month later, Xiao Ai stopped the monkeys in a mountain stream.
"If you want to cultivate alone, I will let you. But now that half a month has passed, I should check your cultivation progress."
The little girl said expressionlessly, holding a slender bamboo strip in her hand. With the girl's gentle waving, the bamboo made a whirring sound.
When the monkeys saw this scene, they all screamed and ran away. Only the White Ape dared not run away. Facing the little girl who blocked the road ahead, he shouted in horror and retreated again and again.
"Gee! Gee!"
The ape cried for mercy, but the little girl was indifferent.
She walked towards the ape indifferently and said, "Close your eyes! Close your heart! Let me see how your cultivation is progressing."
In the cold winter wind, the monkey closed his eyes in despair and stood still.
After a few breaths, the shrill cries of the white ape rang out in the mountains.
"Gee! Gee! Gee!"
It startled the birds in the forest.
