The Disciple's Diligence Makes the Master Seem Lazy - Chapter 23

[Chapter 23: Unable to bind____]

“You still want to whip me!”

Dahu thought Li Xu’s words were scary, so she ran very fast.

The petals in the ten-mile peach forest were flying everywhere, but she had not run a hundred steps when a hand grabbed her collar and her feet were off the ground, and she was lifted up.

“Why are you running? Master is just talking.”

“Huff, huh, huh…” Dahu took a deep breath and patted her heart.

“After this test, I completely understand that you can’t communicate with heaven and earth, you are really just stupid.”

Dahu pouted, her fox ears stood up, and said:

“Master, don’t hit me again, otherwise, I will beat you, be mean to you, and bite you.”

She pried her hands and feet in the air, looking a little fierce, and showing two small tiger teeth, shining.

Li Xu picked her up and walked back, sitting cross-legged on the ground, lost in thought.

“Master, don’t give up on me, I think I can still be saved, let me rub your shoulders.”

Dahu began to touch the master.

[Rub shoulders, reward 100 diligence points]

[Press back, reward 100 diligence points]

[Pinch legs, reward 100 diligence points]

[Massage head, reward 500 diligence points, balance 62200 diligence points]

Li Xu, who was in deep thought, suddenly thought of a sentence: “There are no stupid students, only stupid teachers, the method must be wrong.”

“Don’t be busy yet.”

Li Xu didn’t expect to increase so many diligence points, and said: “Little Da’er, you sit in front of me.” Da’er

did as she was told and sat cross-legged.

Li Xu looked at her round cheeks and said: “Why are you sitting so far away from me? Is the large piece of land in the middle used for planting rice?”

Da’er had to move closer to Li Xu, getting closer and closer to him, and could clearly see his forehead, sword eyebrows, eyes, nose, lips, and he had to say that the master was really good-looking.

“Why are you staring at me with such big eyes?” Li Xu thought she was very strange.

“Master, you are so good-looking.” Da’er’s face showed a hint of shyness.

“What nonsense are you talking about?”

Li Xu smiled, showing his white teeth, and said:

“I am indeed good-looking, but you have to be reserved and close your eyes.”

Dahu was a little nervous and stammered: “Close your eyes, Master, are you going to do something to me… something that I can’t see with my eyes open?”

Li Xu said: “Yes.”

Dahu licked her lips and became nervous: “But it’s not good in broad daylight…”

“Don’t talk, follow my rhythm, Master is always with you, close your eyes, relax your body, don’t be afraid, it won’t hurt…”

Dahu closed her eyes obediently.

Li Xu slowly said: “Imagine that we are now standing on a clear lake, the lake reflects our shadows, gradually, the sun sets in the west, the sky is full of stars, and the bright moon hangs in the sky. Reach out your hand and hold Master’s hand, and slowly open your eyes.” Dahu

suddenly opened her eyes and found that the place where she was standing had changed. This was not the Ten Mile Peach Forest, but a strange space.

There were countless twinkling stars and a bright moon hanging above her head.

With her feet suspended in the air, she trembled all over, and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. She tightly grasped her master’s hand.

“Xiao Da’er, believe me, don’t be afraid.”

“Master, where is this?”

“This is a wonderful state where the consciousness is separated and can sense the heaven and earth.”

Li Xu elaborated: “Usually, when you are in seclusion, realizing the truth and breaking through the realm, the consciousness and soul are in this state. The physical body and blood circulation are basically stagnant, and you can go without food and drink for a long time. If you succeed in breaking through the realm, you will return to normal, but you will soon feel hungry. If you fail to break through the realm, the consciousness and soul will be trapped in the state and unable to exit. Gradually, the physical body will die. This is called metamorphosis, which means death.”

“Just now I forcibly dragged your consciousness into my consciousness space. Now you can experience the feeling of communicating with the heaven and earth.” Li Xu said.

Daxu let go of her master’s hand and jumped in the air, her face full of excitement:

“Master, there seems to be a force under my feet holding me up.”

“Master, I can feel the spiritual power flowing through my body, and I can also grab the spiritual power.”

“Master, I seem to feel the sound of a heart beating between heaven and earth, the heaven and earth seem to be breathing, and I can hear the whispers of nature.”

“Master, the stars in the sky are talking to me.”

“Master, the moon seems to be saying hello to me.”

“Master, I also saw a sun in the far, far sky, grinning at me.”

Daxu was very happy and jumped up and down.

What a wonderful feeling.

In Li Xu’s consciousness space, it was the first time that she felt that she could communicate with heaven and earth, but why had no cultivators used this trick before.

“Master, does this affect you?”

She turned her head to look at her master and found that her master’s face was pale and something was wrong.

“No, no, I can’t stand it anymore…”

Li Xu quickly brought her out.

They both opened their eyes at the same time.

Li Xu’s mouth twitched, his face was slightly pale, and he said, “Can you still remember the feeling just now?”

“Yes, but Master, you don’t look very good.”

Daxu found that Li Xu’s face was bloodshot, his eyes were congested, and his voice was very weak, as if he was dying.

“Don’t worry about me, sit cross-legged and make a seal, and try to find the feeling just now.”

“Okay.”

Daxu quickly closed her eyes and made a seal, trying, and suddenly, she unexpectedly entered that wonderful state, but it only lasted for a moment.

She suddenly opened her eyes: “Master, I can do it, but I just came out very quickly.”

“That’s good.” Li Xu breathed a sigh of relief.

Sure enough, you can’t use skills indiscriminately. He just gave her his consciousness to let her feel the world truly, a bit like cheating in an exam, letting Daxu know the answer in advance, and then slowly calculating the process on the premise of knowing the answer. This technique is very dangerous. If there is any problem, Daxu’s consciousness will be trapped in her own consciousness space.

Someone must have thought of this technique before, but no one dared to use it because she was the little princess of Qingqiu.

There was another reason. Even if he used it, the loss would be very great, not to mention other practitioners.

“Master, I can actually communicate with the heaven and earth in your space. It’s amazing. What moves did you use?”

“???” How could Daxu not understand.

“You practice slowly and strike while the iron is hot. I’ll sleep for a while. Call me for dinner.”

He said and fell into the petals, but he didn’t expect that when he woke up, it was already noon the next day. He was still lying on the couch, and Daxu fell asleep beside his bed.

Daxu opened her eyes: “Master, wake up.”

Yesterday, she was almost scared to death. Fortunately, Dean Qinglian said that Li Xu was just sleeping, but she was still worried and stayed in Li Xu’s room, waiting for him to wake up.

“Well, little Daxu, I’m so hungry, do you have anything to eat for me?”

“Yes.” Little Daxu was about to rush out.

“I’ll get up and eat by myself.” Li Xu wanted to get up, but he felt very weak, unable to even lift a chicken, so he said:

“Little Da’er, come and help me.”

“Master, I’ll help you.”

Da’er carefully helped Li Xu up, feeling that the master was very weak now, and could fall on the bed with just a push.

An Zhiyu, who was sitting outside in a daze, looked at the master and disciple, and thought to himself:

“Why is he so weak, as if he has been drained?”

“Is Da’er so strong?”
