Chapter 46 Close Your Eyes! Focus!

Life in the mountains was dull and boring, and cultivation was Lu Heng's only pastime to pass the time.

However, this time, after Lu Heng entered into meditation, he did not enter that ethereal and blurred state again.

Although he felt that his soul seemed to be wandering in a sea of ​​​​blazing white lightning, he never turned into a calamity cloud again, and he never saw so many bizarre and strange scenes.

It was just that his consciousness was floating in the lightning, light and floating, between half asleep and half awake.

In this state, time seemed to pass faster.

Although Lu Heng could clearly feel how long time had passed, if he concentrated his mind and sensed it, he could easily get out of this half-dream and half-awake state. But he was very comfortable in this state.

The passage of time made him no longer feel tortured.

It seemed that only a few breaths had passed, but when he finished his meditation and opened his eyes again, he clearly understood that seven days had passed in the outside world.

This time when he woke up, Lu Heng felt a little hungry.

Although his dependence on food became less and less as his cultivation improved, he still couldn't achieve the level of fasting.

With a thought, Lu Heng left the underground temple and headed for the surface.

When he returned to the Wolf God Temple again, he didn't find Xiao Ai there. After a deep sense, he 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 she was not alone...

Lu Heng was curious and walked directly towards the bamboo forest.

It was midwinter, and although there was no heavy snow, most of the trees in the mountains had withered.

There were many dead leaves scattered on the bluestone path in front of the Wolf God Temple. Although Xiao Ai would clean it every day, the dead leaves were endless, and she couldn't clean them up even if she cleaned it three times a day.

In the slightly cold wind, Lu Heng walked on the bluestone path for a while, then left the bluestone path leading down the mountain and walked towards the forest on one side.

Not long after walking, I heard the rustling sound of the cold wind blowing through the bamboo forest.

Bamboo is one of the three friends of winter, and it is evergreen all year round. Even in the dead of winter when everything is withering, this bamboo forest is still lush and green.

The ground between the bamboo forests is covered with a soft layer of withered yellow bamboo leaves, which feels very comfortable when stepped on.

In this quiet and secluded bamboo forest, there is a white ape sitting cross-legged with eyes closed, practicing in a serious manner on a rock in the bamboo forest.

Next to the white ape, there stood an expressionless little girl. The girl held a bamboo stick in her hand, standing silently behind the white ape like a haunted ghost.

Once the white ape secretly opened his eyes to observe the surroundings or was distracted, the branch in the little girl's hand would hit the white ape heavily, causing the white ape to scream. The restless white ape quickly closed his eyes and continued to practice, so as not to be beaten by the bamboo stick again.

Seeing this scene, Lu Heng's mouth twitched.

He recognized the white ape, who was the leader of the monkey group in the mountain. It was also the ape that found Xiao Ai's "corpse" in time and transported Xiao Ai's body to the mountain temple, so Lu Heng had time to save the girl.

Obviously, Xiao Ai was teaching the monkey to practice, and wanted to guide the monkey into the way of practice to repay the grace of saving his life.

However, this wild monkey in the mountain was originally restless and greedy for fun. Forcing it to sit in one place and meditate and practice obediently would be more uncomfortable than killing it.

Moreover, even if this ordinary beast is a little smart and has someone to guide it, it is extremely difficult to complete the first step of demon cultivation, which is to guide the spiritual energy into the body. It takes a very long time, and it will definitely take more time.

In addition, this monkey is restless, and it can't calm down even if someone is watching it, so it will definitely take longer.

With Xiao Ai's current severity, before this monkey learns to receive the spiritual energy, I'm afraid that 30% of the fur on his body will be pulled out.

This little girl's way of repaying her gratitude is really...

Lu Heng shook his head speechlessly, not knowing how to comment.

Standing in the bamboo forest and watching for a long time, seeing the monkey grinning and tearful after being beaten three times in a row, Lu Heng couldn't bear it anymore, shook his head and turned away, without disturbing the man and the monkey.

Although Xiao Ai's method was a bit harsh, it was a good thing for the wild monkeys in the mountains to be able to step into the right path of cultivation.

The monkey seemed to understand this, so although it was beaten and grinned, it had no intention of resisting and running away, and always sat there obediently trying to attract spiritual energy.

It's just that the monkey is jumpy, even if it wants to learn well, it can't help being lazy.

From this perspective, Xiao Ai's strict supervision method 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 this monkey can really step into the path of demon cultivation.

After leaving the bamboo forest, he did not wander around in the mountains, but went directly down the mountain to the river bend, and used the power of the mountain god to swallow dozens of live fish in one mouthful. While feeling that his appetite had indeed decreased a lot, Lu Heng returned to the mountains to practice again.

The roaring thunder woke up the monkeys in the bamboo forest.

The white ape subconsciously raised his head and saw the terrifying white lightning falling from the sky. The thunder and evil spirit that frightened all things surged in the bamboo forest.

"Ji!"

The white ape was about to speak, but the bamboo stick behind him suddenly whipped him.

"Close your eyes! Focus! Practice obediently!"

The little girl's merciless whipping directly whipped the white ape so hard that he howled and almost jumped up.

Until the seven thunderbolts fell and the mountain became quiet again, the girl looked towards the direction of the Wolf God Temple, knowing that Lord Wolf God was in seclusion again.

Alas... Lord Wolf God is so noble, but he still practices hard. He is never arrogant because of his own divine power, nor is he complacent because of his strength.

Under Lord Wolf God, I should also practice hard.

Thinking of this, the little girl looked at the monkey in front of her, and her eyes became more severe.

She must teach the monkey to practice as soon as possible and free herself from the constraints of teaching, so that she can continue to practice and must not disappoint Lord Wolf God's expectations.

In the heart of the little girl, she silently made up her mind and decided to be more strict with the monkey head.

And Lu Heng, who returned to the underground temple, did not know that because of his busy practice, the white ape's next days would be more tormented...

Time passed quickly.

Although the days of practicing in the mountains are simple and boring, after a long time, you can gradually get used to it.

Under the strict teaching of the girl, it took a full seven days for the playful white ape to finally complete the first step of demon cultivation and learn how to guide spiritual energy into the body.

Later, when Lu Heng came out of retreat, the little girl asked Lu Heng, and after getting Lu Heng's permission, Xiao Ai taught the white ape the demon cultivation method that Lu Heng taught her.

So when Lu Heng was practicing underground, there were two more cultivators practicing with the demon cultivation method in the mountain, one man and one monkey.

But the white ape was afraid of the girl, and after learning the demon cultivation method, it ran away and practiced alone.

However, the monkey was playful by nature, and even if it learned the demon cultivation method, the white ape still played with the monkeys in the mountains all day long, and its practice soon fell behind.

Until half a month later, Xiao Ai blocked the group of monkeys in a mountain stream.

"You want to practice alone, I agree. But now it has been half a month, I should check your progress in practice."

The little girl said expressionlessly, holding a thin bamboo stick in her hand. As the girl waved gently, the bamboo stick made a whirring sound.

When the monkeys saw this, they scattered like birds and beasts, all screaming and running away. Only the white ape did not dare to run away. Facing the little girl blocking the road ahead, it screamed in fear and retreated repeatedly.

"Ji! Ji!"

The monkey begged for mercy loudly, but the little girl was indifferent.

She walked towards the monkey indifferently and said, "Close your eyes! Focus! Let me see how your practice is progressing."

In the cold winter wind, the monkey closed his eyes in despair and stood still obediently.

After a few breaths, the white ape's shrill cry rang out in the mountain.

"Ji! Ji! Jijijijiji!"

The birds in the forest were startled.
