Chapter 96: The Calm Before the Storm
"Are you getting started?" Chen Ming looked at Yang Xiong in disbelief, and in the last five days of the end of March, Yang Xiong happily came to him, saying that the "Tiger Mighty Body" he had cultivated had already been introduced, and he had become the first level.
"Yes, the disciple who taught the class has already confirmed that he has indeed practiced the first level. At my speed, he was taken aback, and he changed to an ordinary disciple, and he didn't have half a year, so he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to get started. Even if it is a few geniuses, it takes four months, but it only took me three months!" Yang Xiong said excitedly.
Tiger Mighty Hegemon is mainly defensive and powerful, considering Yang Xiong's age, so it is mainly based on defense. After confirming that the defense has reached the first level, it is announced that he has entered the results of this one.
"However, my Tiger Claw Skill has not even been introduced...... Chen Ming also felt strange, they all practiced together, and the resources invested were estimated to be about the same, but as a result, his Tiger Claw Skill was not started.
"Can it be the same?" Yang Xiong complained, "In the past three months, I have been beating people for more than four hours almost every day!"
"Also, the task on my side has nothing to do with Tiger Claw Gong. Chen Ming nodded, but after three months of accumulation, he had already written down a lot of prescriptions and knew more than seventy percent of the medicinal materials. As far as his memory is concerned, the instructors of Shennongyuan are all impressed.
At that time, I wanted to say that I wanted to accept him as a closed disciple. Chen Ming had already planned to use it at that time, and he didn't plan to refuse in the name of apprenticeship in the past few years, but later learned that this apprenticeship and the apprenticeship in Wuhumen were two concepts, so he served tea and kowtowed to the teacher.
The Five Tiger Gates can pass down the five core martial arts, and most of the miscellaneous martial arts, especially the inner door, can be learned for free.
But what can be taught, of course, is the public, some small skills, experience in martial arts cultivation or something, you need to explore by yourself. Especially the loss of materials, which is also not something that ordinary disciples can afford.
Therefore, there is the concept of apprenticeship, through worshipping under a certain disciple, you can obtain the cultivation resources gifted by this disciple, as well as guidance in martial arts. The price is also very clear, the disciple has to give the master a pension and send him to the end. The key point is that the disciple can only worship one person as a teacher!
The medical apprentice said that the Wuhumen is very tolerant in this regard, mainly because there are fewer and fewer disciples who are willing to learn Chinese medicine, so some restrictions have been relaxed. In other words, Chen Ming can worship this mentor as a teacher and learn medical skills under him, and at the same time, he can also worship another disciple as a teacher and learn martial arts.
Comparatively speaking, after deducting medical guidance, this mentor does not provide other resources. Relatively speaking, Chen Ming can choose another miscellaneous martial arts and learn it for free. In the future, this mentor will not be obliged to provide for the elderly.
I don't want to go, just take care of this tutor for a while when he is sick. Don't take care of him, and no one will say anything about him. If you die, you don't need to keep filial piety, and if you don't want to go, you can go to the funeral and pay some funeral expenses.
It can be said that this apprenticeship is Chen Ming's biggest gain, so he doesn't regret that Tiger Claw Gong didn't get started.
"At the beginning of next month, I plan to participate in the Young Tiger Pavilion assessment to improve my level...... Are you participating?" asked Yang Xiong.
"Of course, I'm also a little tired of dispensing medicines, and I want to do something else if I can. Chen Ming nodded. He was actually very curious about what the higher-level tasks were about.
"In other words, the atmosphere in Wuhumen has been ...... recently. I don't like ...... very much," Yang Xiong said suddenly.
"Me too. Chen Ming agreed.
The main purpose of morning exercise is to wake up the sleeping body to fit into the day's practice and study. According to the individual's physical fitness, you can also do a simple exercise to stimulate the muscles of the whole body a little.
In the past, according to the needs, the disciples would exercise according to their own conditions. But now...... is either in a team to brush the five poultry opera, or to practice Baduan Jin, Tai Chi and Mawangdui guidance techniques are practiced. It doesn't look vibrant, it's more like a group of people in their twilight years.
What's even more morbid is that there are still people sitting cross-legged on the ground, muttering words in their mouths. I don't know if it's cultivation, or if I've gone mad. Those who can exercise like Chen Ming and Yang Xiong can no more than twenty people in the square!
"Speaking of which, recently Master Peng asked me to try to practice that breathing method without soaking in a medicinal bath. Yang Xiong suddenly remembered something, "Let me try it for a month first, and then continue to soak in the medicinal bath, it seems that the improvement of the medicinal bath has reached a certain bottleneck." ”
"If the medicinal bath can't be improved, then the effect of our soaking will gradually decrease......" Chen Ming nodded. The most intuitive manifestation is, first of all, that the time of suffering will fall, which is the only good thing, but the same time that the living energy will be active, will also fall, from an hour to ...... It may have no effect at all.
"Anyway, I can't be like you, cultivating while soaking in a medicinal bath, and it doesn't hurt to try it a little. Besides, I'm different from you, on Uncle Peng's side, I have an income of 3,000 yuan a month. Yang Xiong smiled.
"Don't say it, I want to go back. Chen Ming complained, of course he wouldn't really go back.
"The question is......" Yang Xiong looked at the others in the square, "when will this farce end?"
"It's only been a month since it was launched, and there haven't been three or four months, do you think the popularity will decline? Chen Ming sighed.
However, starting that night, when the two were eating, they found a problem.
"Mainstream TV stations suddenly stopped broadcasting qigong. Yang Xiong frowned.
"Local channels continue to broadcast, but Huaxia TV is no longer broadcasting. What does this mean, do you understand?" Chen Ming looked at Yang Xiong, and he remembered what Peng Ye had said.
"Either it's completely out of control, or it's about to start working!" Yang Xiong obviously remembered these words as well, "Guess which one?"
"If it is the former, it is estimated that even local TV stations will be regulated and cannot be broadcast. Chen Ming replied.
"In other words, at this stage, the country is already planning to start closing the net, right? It's only been a month of fermentation, and then it will be closed immediately? Is it too fast?!" Chen Ming was a little puzzled.
"It is estimated that if you don't close the net, things will get out of control!" Yang Xiong could only think of this possibility, and then said in a low voice, "After all, if you continue, let alone special functions and qigong, the real internal strength is estimated to be impossible to hide!"
"That's all I can think about. Chen Ming nodded.
In the next two to three days, reports of qigong and special functions began to decrease significantly, although not a cliff-like decrease. The qigong craze in various places seems to have died down all of a sudden, and there are fewer and fewer reports.
Occasionally, some lectures jump out, but they are also analyzed from a scientific point of view, and they are no longer bragging. The good thing is that some of the Five Tiger Sect disciples have also given up qigong and resumed normal cultivation.
The day before the first month of the month, a storm began to brew......
