That night, Xu Yan walked on the boulevard on campus for a long time, he was depressed, all kinds of disturbing thoughts came into his mind, although he drank a lot of wine, he was not drunk at all, his mood was sometimes angry, sometimes depressed. This night, Xu Yan had been wandering around the campus until twelve o'clock, and was checked and driven away twice by the security guards who patrolled the night before he returned home.

That night, Xu Yan had no sleep all night and tossed and turned in bed all night. Early the next morning, as soon as it was dawn, Xu Yan got up in a hurry, and after washing up, he waited in the living room.

At eight o'clock in the morning, Zhu Youxiang came out of the guest room, and saw Xu Yan sitting respectfully on the sofa in the living room, Zhu Youxiang was slightly surprised: At this time in the past, Xu Yan had already left home for class.

"Huh, isn't Childe going to class today?"

Xu Yan shook his head: After the stimulation of Gong Xueting's good person card last night, he reflected on what he had done during this time. He found that he had indeed made a great mistake: now, with more than two million dollars in cash in his pocket, and a bright future waiting for Zhu Youxiang to teach the Tao, it was really the stupidest thing in the world to let such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity not seize it, but waste time on those useless rotten courses.

Looking at Zhu Youxiang, Xu Yan said clearly: "Xuan Yun, I want to learn the art of cultivating truth." ”

Xu Yan made such a request, Zhu Youxiang didn't seem surprised, she approached calmly and sat down on the sofa: "Childe, please sit down, let me help you diagnose your pulse first." ”

The two sat down on the sofa side by side, and Zhu Youxiang reached out to catch Xu Yan's vein, slightly exerting force.

Xu Yan felt Zhu Youxiang's warm fingers, and for the first time in his life, he had physical contact with a girl, Xu Yan was a little excited, and his body trembled slightly.

Sensing Xu Yan's nervousness, Zhu Youxiang smiled easily: "Xu Gongzi, relax, relax your whole body, relax your meridians, don't be nervous." ”

Although Zhu Youxiang said this, Xu Yan didn't know how to relax his body, he could only relax his shoulders and hang down, and his arms naturally drooped.

"Childe is still too nervous - when checking the pulse, there may be some abnormal sensations in the body, Childe doesn't have to be nervous, it won't hurt very much. ”

Xu Yan just wanted to ask what kind of abnormal feeling he had, but at this time, he suddenly felt that the wrist at the vein gate of his hand was slightly hot, and a warm stream of heat surged from Zhu Youxiang's fingers, quickly entered his wrist, and pierced into the flesh, Xu Yan was in pain, and subconsciously wanted to struggle, but Zhu Youxiang's fingers grabbed him firmly like steel tongs, making him unable to move, and he didn't feel moaning and crying out in pain: "Ouch! Xuanyun, it hurts me!"

"Young Master Xu!" Zhu Youxiang's expression was unusually strict: "Young Master Xu, you want the Great Dao, but you can't even endure this little pain? Childe, you need to know that the hardships and pains on the path of cultivation are sometimes a hundred times greater, if you don't even have this bit of willpower, I'm afraid that the Great Dao of Cultivation will not have a chance with you!"

Hearing Zhu Youxiang say this, Xu Yan was startled, and hurriedly said: "It's okay, it's okay, I'm just a little surprised, in fact, I can withstand it! Xuan Yun, you just continue to diagnose the pulse, if you can't resist it, I will call you." ”

"Okay, if Childe is really unbearable, you can tell me. ”

"Hello, good!"

Just last night was issued a "good person card" by Gong Xueting, and this morning Zhu Youxiang laughed at his willpower, Xu Yan felt that the failure of the world was none other than himself. He was also ruthless and made up his mind: for the sake of his dignity as a man, even if he fainted in pain, he would not make a sound!

However, after Xu Yan made up his mind to hold on, he also found that in fact, the pain was not as bad as he imagined, just like an injection, at the beginning, it was more painful when the heat flow first pierced into the vein, but after the heat flowed in, the pain was slowly reduced, and he felt that the meridians of the arm were warm and dry, and there was a feeling of soreness, numbness and swelling, not only did it not hurt, but there was a sense of comfort.

He happily said to Zhu Youxiang: "Xuan Yun, I don't hurt anymore! I think my arms are warm and comfortable, and I seem to be very powerful--what does this mean? Does it mean that I was born a genius, born to be a genius of cultivation and cultivation?"

Zhu Youxiang closed her eyes slightly, and when she heard Xu Yan's voice, she didn't look up, but just said "uh-huh" a few times, and said: "Childe has this confidence, and this sincerity is a great good." Next, please be strong!"

"Hehe, Xuan Yun, you just have to rest assured, this little thing is coming, I didn't ......"

Only halfway through the words, suddenly, the warm current in the arm suddenly spread, and suddenly rushed to the upper arm and shoulder, the momentum was very violent, like a dense small needle stabbing the upper arm and shoulder area, caught off guard, Xu Yan let out a low "ah" in pain.

Zhu Youxiang shouted in a low voice: "Young Master Xu, hold back!"

Before Zhu Youxiang's words fell, Xu Yan's body trembled suddenly: the warm current had spread rapidly, from the right shoulder, chest, and neck, rapidly spreading all over the body, the feeling was really indescribable, his whole body seemed to be soaked in hot water, and there were various sensations of pain, soreness, numbness, and swelling. And the pain just now was only in the arm, but now the pain has spread to all parts of the body, for a while, especially in the sensitive places of the spleen and stomach, for a while, Xu Yan really felt that the pain was dying, dizzy, nauseous and nauseous.

Fortunately, although Xu Yan is docile, when he really makes up his mind, his temperament is very firm. Thinking that the way of cultivation was not easy to come by, since he promised Zhu Youxiang to resist it, even if it hurt to death, he couldn't cry out for mercy. So, although Xu Yan trembled all over, his teeth clenched and his face turned pale, he actually clenched his teeth and didn't say a word, just panting heavily, and in an instant, sweat had soaked through his clothes.

Zhu Youxiang said that she was diagnosing Xu Yan's pulse, but in fact, she knew that what she was really doing was to help Xu Yan wash his bones and marrow, swim through Xu Yan's whole body with deep aura, unblock his blood veins, and remove impurities and blockages, so that Xu Yan could cultivate in the future.

As a person who has come over, of course she knows that as an ordinary person who has never cultivated, Xu Yan's meridians are almost completely occluded, and she has to use external aura to break through the meridians of her whole body, and this painful taste is almost like using an iron wire to pass through the whole body in the meridians.

This is the most difficult level at the beginning of the path of cultivation, even those children who come out of the cultivation family, when they pass this level, they often can't withstand this pain, and they need to be assisted by pills at home, or divide this process into several times to complete- But naturally, just as artificial herbs are often no match for the potency of natural wild herbs, in this way, with the help of medicine or several tricks to complete the bone washing and marrow, the meridians are often inferior to the kind of dredging done in one go, and the guide zhì is far behind in the progress of cultivation.

Therefore, all the sects in the cultivation realm believe that if it is not a last resort, it is best to do the first bone cleansing and marrow clearing without the help of external objects, which has the best effect and is most conducive to future cultivation and development.

It's just that there is no need to tell Xu Yan about such a complicated matter now - Zhu Youxiang is instilling aura into Xu Yan's body, helping him dredge the meridians little by little to clear the blockage, while paying attention to his pulse and heartbeat reaction, lest he suddenly faint when his eyes suddenly roll white, then this work of dredging the meridians will be tantamount to abandoning the previous efforts.

Fortunately, although Xu Yan panted and panted loudly and loudly, like a blower, Zhu Youxiang thought that he was about to faint several times, but he didn't expect that his will was quite strong, and he actually withstood this pain, until Zhu Youxiang's true qi made a weekly circulation in his body, he was still able to sit firmly on the sofa with his eyes closed, which made Zhu Youxiang a little worried, this guy should not have passed out like sitting like this, right?

You know, in the past enlightenment process, this kind of thing is not uncommon.

"Xu Gongzi, Xu Gongzi, can you hear me? Are you okay?"

Xu Yan opened his eyes, his clothes were wet with sweat, and the sweat on his forehead was dripping down. He replied weakly, "I can hear you, Xuan Yun, come on, I can still withstand it." ”

Xu Yan not only did not faint, but he could continue to persevere, which made Zhu Youxiang impressed by his willpower - this Xu Gongzi looked weak, and his bones were very hard. She praised: "Childe is really a strong man, and he can still hold on now." You need to know that the first level of bone washing and marrow clearing is not so easy - okay, the bone washing and marrow clearing has been completed, and the son can take a rest and experience any abnormal changes in his body?"

Xu Yan sat up straight, full of surprise, to his ears, Zhu Youxiang's announcement that "the bone cleansing has been completed" is simply a sound of heaven, to be able to break free from this hellish torment, Xu Yan only feels that even the air exhaled in is sweet.

After gasping for breath twice, Xu Yan stretched comfortably, only to feel pain everywhere around his body-but compared to the soreness, numbness and pain that penetrated his heart just now, this kind of skin pain is just a pediatric for Xu Yan.

At this time, Xu Yan noticed something strange: "This, Xuan Yun, you don't seem to have said that to me? You told me, just to diagnose my pulse...... Why did it suddenly become like this?"

Saying that, Xu Yan shuddered - washing the bones and marrow, it sounded like the ten tortures of the Qing Palace, which was terrifying. And judging from his own feelings, this thing really deserves the terrifying name.

"Really?" Zhu Youxiang turned her face sideways, and she said casually, "I don't remember." ”

After thinking about it for a while, as if she was a little embarrassed, she explained again: "I originally wanted to diagnose your pulse for Gongzi, but by the way, I helped Gongzi to do the work of washing the bones and marrow, and Gongzi didn't need to thank me." ”

Xu Yan was speechless - he wanted to say, this is not a question of thank you or not, eldest sister, you originally said that you would diagnose my pulse, but you almost slaughtered Lao Tzu with those ten tortures. Okay, even if you really want to use torture, you have to notify me, otherwise suddenly like this, Lao Tzu still won't give off the skin?

Looking at Xu Yan's depressed appearance, Zhu Youxiang pursed her lips and couldn't stop laughing-of course she did this on purpose. If he had told Xu Yan in advance, he knew that he would have undergone some torture, but he was afraid that the effect would not be so good.

Zhu Youxiang has not studied psychology, but some practical examples are understood. She had befriended some of the officials of the Yamen who had been arrested in brocade, and they had told her that the best way to interrogate those who refused to confess was not to beat them to death, but to break their psychological defenses with the help of the prisoners' fear of punishment. The prisoners, who were unscathed, feared even more than the pain of the real punishment.

Now, Zhu Youxiang is also skillfully using this principle. If Fang Cai had told Xu Yan in advance, and he would have to endure a lot of pain and hardship, he was afraid that Xu Yan would have a fear psychologically, which would invisibly magnify the effect of the pain several times, but I was afraid that he might not be able to persevere to the end.

And now, she just told Xu Yan in advance, what is coming is just some insignificant pain, it is nothing at all, even if Xu Yan feels really painful, but his reason will tell him himself, this is actually not much pain, the pain he feels is just some illusion, according to Zhu Youxiang's understanding of Xu Yan, for the sake of his own face, this big boy who loves face will most likely survive - and the fact is that as she expected, Xu Yan really survived.

After the bone washing was completed, Xu Yan stood up and walked around the sofa twice, although there was still a faint pain in his body, he still felt comfortable. He asked Zhu Youxiang, "Xuan Yun, what are we going to do next?"

"Next?" Zhu Youxiang glanced at it, she pursed her lips and smiled faintly: "Childe, you'd better change into clean clothes and take a shower first, so as not to catch a cold." ”

Only then did Xu Yan realize that the clothes on his body had been completely soaked with sweat, and a faint unpleasant smell had emanated from his body. He laughed dryly, quickly said sorry, went back to his room, took off all the clothes on his body, and took a bath in the bathroom of the bedroom - when he took a bath, he felt that his whole body was still sweating, and the sweat was black, greasy and oily, as if it was covered with a layer of dark grease outside his body, so that Xu Yan used a small half bottle of shower gel to wash it clean.

However, when Xu Yan washed off this layer of grease, he was refreshed, and there was a sense of relief from his body, as if some of the burdens that had been pressing on him had been removed, relaxed and comfortable, and he felt full of vitality.

He hurriedly wiped his hair, changed into clean clothes, and hurried out again. Zhu Youxiang was still in the hall and was watching TV.

Xu Yan leaned up: "Xuan Yun, I've washed up! What should we do with our next cultivation plan?"

Zhu Youxiang turned around and looked at Xu Yan with a smile on his face. She said, "Childe doesn't need to be anxious. The matter of cultivation is important to persevere, but there is no hurry to meet at that moment. Childe has just completed the bone washing and marrowing, and the meridians of the body are being reconnected and connected, removing impurities and waste products from the body, and the body also needs to adjust slightly, which will take time. It is only when the child's body and meridians are stable that it is suitable to start cultivating. ”

Xu Yan let out an "oh" in disappointment, but he was helpless.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After being forced by Zhu Youxiang to wash the bones and marrow, for three or four consecutive days, Xu Yan never went out - Xu Gongzi was not interested in love because he was out of love, so he hid at home to cultivate his mind and become a hermit, the real reason why he couldn't go out was because the sequelae of bone washing and marrow were too strong.

In the past few days, Xu Yan felt that he was simply tormented in hell - when he was in severe pain, Xu Yan already thought that he was in hell, but he also thought that as long as he stopped washing his bones and marrow, this pain would soon be over. But it turns out that our Xu Gongzi completely underestimated the difficulty of the road to cultivation, and also underestimated the black belly of Zhu Youxiang's little girl -- when she was washing her bones and marrow, Zhu Youxiang also greeted Xu Yan, saying that Xu Yan would need a few days of hard work to "slightly adjust her body and meridians" -- but after this incident, Xu Yan swore that he would never believe anything that this black-bellied girl said again in his life! What is this "slight adjustment"? This is simply peeling off a layer of skin and then extracting the intestines, heart and liver to clean, okay?

The most uncomfortable thing Xu Yan felt was that he kept sweating - in the past few days, whether day or night, Xu Yan has always been sweating day and night. What came out of him was not ordinary sweat, but a greasy, sticky thing with color and a strange fishy smell, whether Xu Yan was sitting quietly or sleeping, even if he was not active at all, this strange sweat was always bubbling up, as if there was a steady source of filth in his body. The strange sweat that came out of it soon condensed on the skin, forming a strange layer of dirt.

In the past two days, Xu Yan has been sleeping every morning, and he always feels slimy on his body, as if he has just crawled out of the mud layer, and his skin is covered with condensed sweat and dirt, which is very uncomfortable. When he washed in the morning, he looked at himself in the mirror and had a miserable feeling - was this black and dirty guy in the mirror really himself?

Xu Yan had previously seen some photos on the Internet that reflected the difficulties of people's livelihood, including some pictures of migrant coal mine workers in Shanxi. Now, looking at himself in the mirror, Xu Yan remembered the migrant coal mine workers who had just come up from the underground work, and he looked even worse than them: his face was dark, dirty, and dirty, and he couldn't even see his face clearly. When he washed in the morning for three consecutive days, Xu Yan washed a layer of black and dirty grease on his body, and even the bath water was dyed black.

Every time he comes out of the shower, Xu Yan has a relaxed feeling of being reborn, but unfortunately, this feeling often doesn't last long - every time Xu Yan changes into clean clothes, it takes less than twenty or thirty minutes, and the clean clothes that he just changed into will be soaked and stained with sweat, and Xu Yan has to take a shower every hour.

But the trouble is not only that, in addition to sweating, Xu Yan also found that he also suffered from a strange problem of diarrhea. In the past two days, Xu Yan couldn't tell how many times he had run to the toilet, and every time he went, he had to vent a lot, excreting countless fishy and unpleasant weird feces, and he almost pulled out his intestines.

He obviously didn't eat anything, but his stomach was going to turn over at any time, forcing Xu Yan to run to the toilet frequently, he couldn't figure it out, where did he get so many things to pull?

Just braving dirty sweat and diarrhea, Xu Yan could barely endure it, it was a big deal to run to the toilet and take a bath more frequently, but soon, Xu Yan discovered another fact that frightened him: I don't know what's going on, I can't eat anymore!

The so-called inability to eat does not mean that Xu Yan's throat was blocked by something, nor does it mean that Xu Yan has no appetite after falling out of love - it is not true. In fact, although he fell out of love, Xu Yan has a cheerful personality, and he hasn't known Gong Xueting for long, coupled with the cheerfulness and vitality of young people, even if he is out of love, he has not made trouble to the point of dying and dying on a hunger strike.

But I don't know what's going on, even if the fragrant food is placed in front of Xu Yan, he smells very good, but for some reason, as soon as he eats the food in his mouth, he immediately feels very disgusted, and even if he swallows it hard, he feels very uncomfortable. Even if he was forced to eat the food, but it could only last for three or five minutes at most, the strong nausea feeling from his body hit Xu Yan, as if the food was poured into his stomach and made a fuss, so that he had to run to the bathroom to hold on to the toilet and vomit. In the end, Xu Yan not only vomited out all the food he ate, but also vomited out bile and stomach acid with his own benefit, feeling extremely uncomfortable, and the whole person seemed to collapse.

At noon on the day of the bone washing, Xu Yan discovered this problem for the first time during dinner. At first, Xu Yan just thought that he had drunk too much wine last night and was still hungover, so he couldn't eat, but he didn't pay much attention to it. But at night, Xu Yan was still like this, vomiting as soon as he ate it, and Xu Yan began to notice something strange at this time: even if he drank a little wine last night, there was no reason why he couldn't eat until the next night, right?

On the second day, Xu Yan still didn't eat water and rice, and he vomited as soon as he ate it, and at this time, he finally confirmed that there was indeed something wrong with his body. In the evening, he searched the Internet for two hours, and finally, he finally determined that he had a strange disease, and the name of this disease was "anorexia". Seeing the consequences of this disease, looking at those skinny pictures, Xu Yan suddenly panicked, and he hurriedly ran to knock on Zhu Youxiang's door: "Xuan Yun, it's not good, I'm not in a good situation!"
