Chapter 178: Reborn

At noon, on the top of Hulong Mountain, a young man was holding a huge rock with both hands, which weighed a thousand catties. In this era of the prevalence of national arts, this move may not be a shocking event. But this young man, who could hold a rock weighing a thousand pounds, remained motionless for an hour without a drop of sweat on his face. This is a miracle.

This young man holding a boulder in his hand is me, and in the past three months, I have a compulsory course, which is to lift stones, and every day I have to lift stones for an hour, in order to exercise the strength of my arms and feet, as well as the coordination of my body.

At the beginning, when I lifted a stone of hundreds of pounds, I would be a little tired, but no matter how tired I was, I would persevere. With the passage of time, the weight of the stones I lift every day continues to increase, and finally, it reaches the weight of a thousand catties, which is my limit to bear, which is also the ultimate goal set by He Banxian for me.

To this day, the reason why I have been able to accomplish this ultimate goal is not only due to my hard training every day, but mainly thanks to the teachings of He Banxian, who did not teach me any martial arts moves in these three months, he only taught me the inner strength and mental method.

About the internal strength of the mind, I heard of it for the first time in the real world, before I only knew that the real master, must have a high level of internal force, but I don't know, the internal force can also be cultivated, in this world, there is still such a thing as the internal strength of the heart, I thought this only exists in the martial arts, there is a Jiuyang Sutra in the martial arts, it seems to be some kind of internal strength of the heart, this heart is important, he is strong by him, the breeze blows the hills, he is horizontal, the bright moon shines on the river. He is cruel to himself, he is evil, and I am full of anger. I think this is very magical, this should not exist in the real society, but in reality, there is an internal strength method, which can make you familiar with your own context, and can let you learn to use the qi in the dantian and turn it into your own internal force.

Ordinary people can't understand the internal strength of the heart formula, only the real masters, can know how to use the heart method formula to practice internal force, like Xia Zhenghan and the like, is an external master, strictly speaking, he is not even a master, this is why He Banxian does not care about Xia Zhenghan at all, Xia Zhenghan's so-called internal force is only precipitated after years of martial arts training, his internal force is not orthodox, and the internal force that is really cultivated is really strong, the reason why He Jiayang's punch has the power to destroy the withering and decaying, is not because of his own strength, but because of his high internal strength, which is the fundamental reason why he defeated Xia Zhenghan。

He Banxian swore that I would be able to surpass Xia Zhenghan after three months of practicing with him, it turned out that he was planning to teach me an exclusive internal strength method, once I practiced this method, my internal strength would increase greatly, and it would not be a problem to defeat Xia Zhenghan at that time. Of course, this kind of internal strength and mental method cannot be practiced by ordinary people in three months. And I'm not an ordinary person. He Banxian fancied my physique and potential, he knew that I had unlimited potential, I had a talent that others did not have, but I didn't know the trick before, so I couldn't make good use of my potential, and now, He Banxian taught me the exclusive internal strength method, which is equivalent to helping me get through the second pulse of Ren Du, let me open up, and let me really step into martial arts.

For three months, I have been lifting stones every day, and at the same time, I have been practicing the mantra of the heart on the mountain every day according to the guidance of He Banxian, which is a very profound thing, which requires full dedication, without a trace of distractions, I did put aside everything to learn, and I did learn something, every day, I can feel that I am growing, In progress, I feel that I have gradually changed a person, this change, naturally not a change in appearance, but temperament and body breath, after learning the advanced realm, I can see six ways to hear in all directions, my sense of smell and hearing, are sensitive and broadened, I have a qualitative change.

When I was in X Group before, I felt that I was already quite powerful, but now, I know that my original force is really not good, at most the external strength is okay, and the internal strength is simply at the rookie level. This time, I practiced the inner strength of the mind, the whole person has a transformation of washing the marrow and cutting the hair, my body seems to have cleared useless impurities, the soul has become very pure, maybe outsiders can't see my changes, but I know that I am completely reborn, even breathing, I have become regular and rhythmic!

With He Banxian's profound teaching, I am more aware of how important a person's internal strength is, when your martial arts reach a certain level, the external moves play a relatively small role, generally change the soup without changing the medicine, just like Xia Zhenghan, who has practiced martial arts all his life, and finally can't resist a He Jiayang, so only by training the internal force strongly, you can hit explosive damage even if you are an ordinary punch and kick. Of course, some people's internal force is slowly realized by themselves, without the guidance of famous teachers, there is no way to improve, but fortunately, I met Bole, He Banxian is my Bole, he taught me the internal strength of the mind, so that I am equivalent to taking a shortcut, quickly and efficiently improve the internal force, it is because my internal force has been greatly improved, I can lift a thousand pounds of rock, and not tired at all, at this moment, the strong internal force in my body, all were stimulated, I seem to have endless power.

On this day, as usual, I was holding a rock on the top of the mountain, and when I finished lifting for an hour and dropped the rock, He Jiayang jumped up and ran over and said to me: "Brother Phantom, grandpa told you to eat!"

I clapped my hands and said to He Jiayang, "Let's go!"

Saying that, I walked towards the foot of the mountain with He Jiayang, the broken temple where He Banxian lived, at the foot of Hulong Mountain, and Hulong Mountain was very steep and rugged, but I walked fast as if I were walking on the ground. He Jiayang was faster, he was almost running, I asked him to slow down, but He Jiayang said to me: "You hurry up, grandpa made a big table of good dishes today, be careful if you go late!"

Soon, we came to the small temple, and sure enough, today He Banxian didn't know what the hell was doing, he actually made a big table full of dishes, and even, he has been a vegetarian, this time he also deliberately made wild game to eat.

As soon as He Jiayang got home, without saying a word, he began to eat, and he devoured it and got carried away.

As soon as I walked over, He Banxian asked me to serve it, and then he took out the old wine that he had sealed for a long time and poured me a full bowl.

Sitting down at the table, I couldn't help but ask, "Grandpa He, is it a holiday today? Why is it so heavy!"

He Banxian shook his head and said deeply: "No, it's the day you leave, so I prepared a farewell banquet for you!"

When I heard this, I was surprised, "Huh, can I go?"

He Banxian nodded and said solemnly: "Well, three months have come, and you have reached the goal in my heart, it's time to do your own thing!"

I don't know why, when I heard this, I felt a little complicated in my heart, and I was relieved that I had finally completed my studies, but I was a little reluctant to leave here.

Here, day after day, every day is very monotonous, but also pure-hearted, no sorrow and no worries, even if I have to practice every day, I don't feel tired, I only feel full, following He Banxian these days, I seem to live in ancient times, isolated from the world, I don't count the days, and I don't feel that every day is different, so I don't know how long I have been here, I didn't expect that three months have passed in the blink of an eye.

To be honest, in the first days, I couldn't completely calm down, I always remembered those people outside, and even I would miss Feng Xue, at that time I was very eager to leave, and I wanted to pass three months soon. However, today, three months have really arrived, but my mentality is different from the beginning, I am not in such a hurry to leave, but I feel that I have not stayed enough, and I don't want to leave.

He Banxian saw that my expression was a little wrong, and he couldn't help but ask me: "Why are you sad, haven't you always wanted to leave? Now that you have recovered from your injuries and your martial arts have improved, you can go out and do what you want, shouldn't you be happy?"

I said with a bitter face, "If I say I don't want to go, do you believe me?"

He Banxian asked with a smile on his face, "Can you let go of the outside world?"

This question stopped me at once, can I let it go?

Although I can hide here and steal half a day of leisure, this is by no means a long-term solution, outside, I still have a lot of unfinished business, my family, my friends, may still be in danger, Xia Zhenghan is still at large, I, as the central figure, how can I be a turtle with a shrunken head for a lifetime, even if I want to stay here, I have to wait until I solve everything. So, I replied honestly to He Banxian: "Not for the time being!"

He Banxian smiled: "That's it!"

As he spoke, He Banxian picked up a bowl of wine and said to me: "This is the wine I have stored for many years, and I am usually reluctant to drink it, so I took it out for you today, come, cheers!"

I haven't drunk alcohol since the last time I was in the hospital, but today, He Banxian's hospitality is really difficult, so I can only pick up the wine bowl and drink with He Banxian.

After I was full of wine and food, it was time for me to leave, until he saw that I was leaving, He Jiayang reacted, he had been only eating just now, and he didn't listen to what we said at all, and now when he saw that I was leaving, he immediately muttered and said: "Brother Phantom, don't go, stay and play with me!"

He Jiayang is really reluctant to me, because as soon as I leave, his life will be completely boring, this dilapidated temple is deserted around, He Jiayang has not had a playmate since he was a child, I am here, I can still play with him when I have nothing to do, if I leave, he will be bored again.

I know He Jiayang's mood, but in the face of his request, I still resolutely said: "Jiayang, I still have something to do now, I have to go out to solve it, and when I finish my business, I'll come back to see you, okay?"

Although He Jiayang's mind is only in his teens, he is a sensible child, and he will not be unreasonable, after listening to my words, he did not insist, and said directly to me: "Okay, you must remember to come and see me!"

I nodded affirmatively at He Jiayang, and then, I looked at He Banxian, for me, He Banxian is my master, my benefactor, when parting, I have a lot of things to say to him, but He Banxian didn't wait for me to speak, he waved his hand at me and said: "Let's go, don't say something sensational, I don't eat that!"

I said a thousand words, and I was choked in my throat in an instant, of course, characters like He Banxian can easily see through my thoughts, what I want to say, he is clear, I really don't have to say much, I just bowed deeply to him, and then, I turned around, walked with a steady pace, left the broken temple, and walked out of Hulong Mountain
