Chapter 9 Silkworm Jade

Xuanchen quickly returned home, locked the door, took out the medicinal wine from the cabinet to invigorate blood and dispel blood stasis, applied it to his right arm, rubbed it evenly, and rubbed it repeatedly, and the severe pain in his arm gradually eased.

The previous punch did hit the fist wind, and even Xuan Chen himself didn't expect it, so the power of the "Iron Mountain Fist" was strong enough, but it was precisely because of this that Xuan Chen's arm was almost injured by the aftershocks of the fist wind.

The key to "Iron Mountain Boxing" mentions that you should first quench your fist and then practice boxing.

It is said that the muscles and bones of the arms must be tempered first, if the muscles and bones are not strong and tenacious enough, they will not be able to withstand the backlash of the fist, and it is easy to fall into immeasurable injuries.

Xuan Chen's newly recovered martial artist's body, his physique was still much worse than that of ordinary Qi Spirit Realm martial artists, and his arms and muscles had not been specially tempered and survived, so he forcibly exercised that "Iron Mountain Fist", which was actually very risky.

After his arm was gradually able to move freely, Xuanchen took out the black porcelain altar from his arms, forty gold coins, but it was nearly half of Xuanchen's savings in the past few years.

Distressed is distressed, but Xuanchen also knows in his heart that this seemingly bloody deal will definitely make a profit. Because this seemingly muddy and dilapidated porcelain altar is far from what it looks like on the surface, it is indeed hidden by the man's words, and the real value is hidden in this layer of black pulp outside.

Xuanchen held the black porcelain altar in his hand, the aura emanated from the palm of his hand, and slowly climbed up the porcelain altar, and then, the aura gradually disappeared, not dissipating into nothing between heaven and earth, but being absorbed by the porcelain altar.

After a while, a crack suddenly appeared on the surface of the porcelain altar, and the crack spread, and finally spread all over the porcelain altar.

Xuanchen's ten fingers were slightly forced, and the cracked black pulp on the surface of the porcelain altar began to peel off piece by piece, and when the pulp peeled off, a green and verdant jade altar was revealed.

"It's really silkworm jade!" Xuan Chen said overjoyed.

Jade is the beauty of stone, taken from nature, is the essence of heaven and earth, the essence of heaven and earth.

And the treasure jade of heaven and earth is myriad, and the color is positive and the quality is pure.

The silkworm jade in Xuanchen's hand is one of the more unique and rare ones, this kind of jade was born in the pure and rich area of the underground aura, and it took ten years to become a thumb-sized piece, to achieve the volume of such a large porcelain altar, not to mention a hundred years.

At the same time, silkworm jade is rare, and it is said that it has the miraculous effect of being able to live and die grass and make dead wood rejuvenate. It is very suitable to use this to warm up the Gathering Spirit Grass seeds.

"If it weren't for the description of silkworm jade that I had read in an ancient book, coupled with the keen perception of telekinesis at that moment, I am afraid that I would have missed it today. Xuanchen said happily, and thought to himself that the man knew that he had sold such a treasure cheaply, and he would have to regret it?

Xuanchen did not have the slightest embarrassment of taking advantage of others, to put it bluntly, the world's natural materials and treasures have always been based on those who have a discerning eye, pay attention to chance, and pay more attention to the goodness of "beauty".

Otherwise, what is the meaning of the existence of those antique cities and antique streets? In the final analysis, it is a word of "appreciation" and a "gamble."

Besides, the transaction on the bright side, this is a transaction that you are willing to make, or a transaction where the seller asks for a sky-high price.

At the same time, Xuan Chen took the seed of the Gathering Spirit Grass and put it into the silkworm jade altar. The seeds rise spontaneously in the silkworm jade altar without wind and are suspended in the center of the jade altar. The spirit grass of heaven and earth is the spirit grass of heaven and earth, which itself uses the aura as bait, and the nutrients it needs are naturally drawn from the aura of heaven and earth. The soil in which all grasses and flowers are planted cannot be grown at all.

After being placed in the silkworm jade altar, the little green color on the seeds of the Gathering Spirit Grass became more intense and vibrant. There are wisps of fragrance that are exactly the same as those of the Gathering Spirit Grass, although it is extremely light, but it is still refreshing to smell it.

Placing the silkworm jade altar on the sunny windowsill, Xuanchen began to practice the Iron Mountain Boxing method alone in the house.

In order to alleviate the pain of the fist backlash, Xuan Chen took out a shabby shirt that had not been worn for many years from the closet, tore it into long strips, and then wrapped his entire arms tightly.

Some are similar to some boxing masters who like hand-to-hand combat and kill the enemy with bare fists, wearing special fist gloves and relying on the tightening of the fist gloves to achieve the purpose of punching more freely and wantonly.

Xuanchen, who was ready for everything, put out a boxing fight, punching one punch after another, first letting the arms and bones slowly adapt, punching slowly, and then slowly accumulating, faster and faster, the boxing style became more and more dense, and gradually got better.

Xuanchen, who was immersed in his fists, almost forgot himself, forgot the time, and neglected to rest and fill his hunger.

At lunchtime, Lin Qing and Xiao Zhen came to the door one after another, knocked on the door to remind Xuanchen to come out to eat, and Xuanchen sent away in a few words.

Completely cultivated to the best realm, just like the realm of selflessness, there is only fists like rain around you, and the fist wind overflows.

Xuanchen's hope today is to be able to extinguish the candlestick with a fist wind at a distance of one meter.

If it is a continuous fist wind, even if the candle flame is finally extinguished, it is just a drop of water through the stone of the "wheel war", which is inconsistent with the fist purpose of Tieshan Boxing, or it is contradictory to the purpose of most of the boxing intentions in the world.

I have only heard of one punch breaking ten thousand laws, but no one has ever said that ten thousand punches break one law.

There was a boxer who once said that the people who use boxing in my generation should be determined to be as powerful as a bamboo, and kill with one punch, similar to the side door of the master who kills the master with a random punch, which relies on punching a lot and grinding the dead, is a nasty fist, and there is no hope for the success of the grandmaster for the rest of his life. It's better to use your arms at your own expense as soon as possible, don't be embarrassed.

Therefore, it must be extinguished with a punch, so that Xuanchen can be happy.

That night, the couple took the food, sat on the small bench, watched the fire in the house swaying, the food in the bowl was cold again, the couple looked worried, the stinky boy had not eaten a drop of water for a day, and the grain of rice had not been stained.

The woman elbowed the man beside her, "It's all you, it's okay to teach Chen'er what boxing to practice, now it's okay, it's like a demon, you don't eat, you're responsible for being hungry?"

The man spread his hands, "Chen'er wants to learn, I can't help but teach......"

The man muttered again: "If you don't teach, then you should say that I even hide my own son, and there is no interest." ”

"What? What do you do when you have the ability to say it out loud and mutter? The woman held the dishes and chopsticks with one hand instead, and the idle left hand pinched the man's ear, "Hmph, don't think that if you have a wound on your body, I won't dare to beat you, I will raise you if you break your body!"

The man immediately begged for mercy: "Ouch, ouch, it hurts, it hurts, my daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law I was wrong......"

Xuan Chen in the house turned a deaf ear to the commotion outside, only the candle flame in front of him, and only a pair of sweaty fists in front of him.

The cloth wrapped around his arms had already been soaked with sweat, dripping down, and there was a shallow depression on the floor, which had accumulated into a small pool of water at this time.

The couple outside the house waited for nearly an hour, and the night was already dark, but the sound of whining and fisting inside the house was endless, and there was no tendency to stop. The two had no choice but to hold the dishes and chopsticks, one walked into the kitchen, and the other returned to the room, helplessly.

I don't know how long it took, but in a swift fist wind, the candle flame on the table finally went out with a "poof".

However, there are still a few rays of light in the room that illuminate the surroundings, faintly blurred, but faintly visible.

It turned out to be the white spot of the fish belly in the sky outside the house, and the dawn morning light came.

Xuan Chen squeezed out a smile, his arms drooped, and after his mind relaxed, he suddenly felt that his arms were numb, as if he didn't belong to him anymore, and he was exhausted.

Then Xuanchen's eyelids sank, and his body fell backwards, falling right on the bed.

The boy who was lying on the bed with his upper body was asleep in an instant, and only the sound of the teenager snoring was left in the room

This sleep was enough until the next day.

——

Bai Ji passed through the gap, and half a month passed in a hurry.

In the past half a month, Xiao Zhen has been recuperating from his injuries while guiding Xuanchen to practice boxing, and when Xuanchen is practicing boxing in the courtyard, he will meditate and practice under the eaves, and when Xuanchen asks what he doesn't understand, or he quits meditation halfway and sees Xuanchen's shortcomings, he will give advice.

In short, Xuanchen has benefited a lot, and progress is naturally straight up. Gradually, it is no longer a mere boxing rule, but a comprehension of the true meaning of boxing hidden in many martial arts, and the unity of form and spirit in the true sense has been achieved.

Bai Xuan didn't appear much during this time, and occasionally came to the roof of Xuanchen's room late at night, met with Xuanchen for a short time, and after learning about Xuanchen's recent cultivation, he quickly drifted away again

For that mysterious handsome man, speaking from the heart, it was difficult for Xuanchen to give an accurate positioning in his heart. Was it his father's best friend, or a beacon to help him out of his misery?

Or even a higher-level relationship?

Regarding the last point, Xuanchen didn't think about it, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was not very practical, and it was not good to say, so he had to make inches.

But why there is such an idea of "inch by inch" should be attributed to a little confusion in Xuan Chen's heart, he wants a guide, as if it is similar to Xiao Zhen who carefully guides the maze when practicing Iron Mountain Boxing.

The path of martial arts can never be smooth sailing, and there are many mistakes that abound, and even if you get lost in the end, you may delay the best period of cultivation, and thus become difficult to climb the hall.

Otherwise, what is the point of the academy, and what is the significance of the mountain sect?

In the absence of neither, Xuanchen thought that someone could be his guide. He knew that if he wanted to climb the ladder, he had to have a not-so-winding stairway to the sky.

If you want to take revenge on the blood feud as soon as possible, you must do so.

As for the source of the other idea that is very vague and even Xuan Chen himself may not be too aware of it, it may be because Bai Xuan is the only person who has anything to do with his father. It was the existence of this relationship that caused Xuanchen to subtly pin some feelings on Bai Xuan.

To put it bluntly, it's dependence.

This emotion is subtle, often hindsighted, or unconsciously all the time.

On this day, Xiao Jian went out in the morning, saying that he was going to the headquarters of the mercenary regiment to deal with some trivial matters, but he came back a little late. It wasn't until dinner that he said that he had received a new employment assignment today, the employer was in a hurry, and there was a shortage of manpower in the regiment.

But Xuanchen and Lin Qing both knew very well that Xiao Zhen must have been unable to let go of the last Gathering Spirit Grass incident, feeling that he owed the mercenary group and wanted to make up for it as soon as possible.

Therefore, Xuanchen and Lin Qing both tacitly chose not to pierce the layer of window paper, the word love and righteousness, Xiao Zhen took it very seriously, and the same was true for the two of them. This is, it's not a family, it's not a family.

The task is imminent, and we will set off tomorrow.

Then Xuanchen, who had been silently picking up rice, suddenly put down his rice bowl and asked a "very bold" question.

"Father, can I go with you?".

Xiao Zhen and Lin Qing first glanced at each other, I don't know why, and then their faces changed greatly, and Lin Qing suddenly gave up the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, as if he wanted to have a verbal battle with Xuanchen for 300 rounds.

"The Demon Beast Mountain Range is so dangerous, why are you a kid going there?" Lin Qing asked.

"That's right, Chen'er, the Demon Beast Mountain Range is full of dangers, it's not an exaggeration at all, it's not an alarmist statement for my father, but it's actually a bloody lesson that I remember vividly. The point is, I may not be able to take care of you immediately in a crisis, what if you are injured? Xiao Zhen also said.

"Father, mother, I am now a martial artist, I can protect myself, I just want to create more opportunities for myself to practice. Xuan Chen shrugged his head and said.

"No, it's too dangerous. Where you can't cultivate, why do you have to drill into the place where you eat people and don't spit out bones?" Lin Qing said.

"This matter is up to your mother, it's not too late to follow me to experience it when your strength is more refined, right now, no. Xiao Zhen said categorically.

"Father and mother, you have protected me enough in the past five years, and I don't want to live in this courtyard all the time. Xuan Chen's eyebrows lowered and he said, "I don't want them to look down on me anymore." ”

Xiao Zhen was stunned, as if moved by the loss of the young man, and he sighed lightly: "Alas." ”

Lin Qing gently comforted: "Chen'er, my mother doesn't want to keep you warm in this courtyard, let alone restrict your growth, it's just that you have just recovered, and it is really too dangerous to encounter those ferocious demon beasts." How can you tell your mother not to worry, how not to stop it?"

Xuanchen lowered his head, grabbed the chopsticks and stirred back and forth in the bowl.

Xiao Zhen glanced at Lin Qing, then at Xuanchen, and asked in a deep voice, "Chen'er, do you really have to go?"

Lin Qing looked at Xiao Zhen incomprehensibly, with a slight hint of questioning in his eyes.

Xiao Zhen turned a blind eye and just waited for Xuan Chen's reply.

"I don't have to go, but if my father and mother are really worried, I can dispel my thoughts. Xuanchen replied, just the yearning that overflowed in his eyes, exposing the young man's duplicity at a glance.

Xiao Zhen said solemnly: "I can promise you this matter......"

"Are you crazy?!" Lin Qingdeng said angrily.

Xiao Zhen only continued to say to Xuan Chen: "But you have to promise me one thing, if you can't do it, I will never promise you." ”

"Really?" Xuan Chen's eyes lit up, raised his head and said, "Father, it's okay to say it. ”

"You ......," Lin Qing frowned.

Xiao Zhen waved his hand and said, "The child has grown up, and we really shouldn't restrain him." Chen'er, what I want you to promise me is simple and simple, and it's not simple or simple. There is only one requirement, that is, in case I really encounter a very dangerous demon beast, even if my life hangs by a thread, and the claws of the demon beast have reached my eyes, you must first seek self-protection, find a chance to get out, and you are not allowed to stay for a moment, let alone stay and fight to the death with the demon beast. Can you do it? If not, even if you say it, I will never agree to you. ”

"Father......" Xuanchen had something to say.

Xiao Zhen said bluntly: "You only need to answer yes or no!"

Xuanchen nodded heavily, "Father, I promise you." ”

Xiao Zhen picked up the bowl again, picked up the chopsticks and picked up the vegetables to eat, "Continue to eat, and enter the mountain tomorrow." ”

Lin Qing on the side complained a little and said, "After the two of you have finished speaking, what else can I say?"

Then she slapped off Xiao Zhen's chopsticks, "But, if something happens to Chen'er, don't come back." ”

Xiao Zhen looked stunned, and threw a look of help at Xuanchen.

Xuanchen buried his head and only cared about the rice, turning a blind eye.

Well, it's yourself who is being sold. Xiao Zhen's face was full of bitterness.

A white-haired boy sat on the roof, looking at the full moon hanging in the sky, not knowing what he was thinking.

Soon after, a white robe slowly appeared.

"I'm going to the Demon Beast Mountain Range with my father-in-law tomorrow. Xuan Chen said to Bai Xuan.

"Why?" Bai Xuan asked.

"If you want to change your cultivation method, you can't stay in this comfortable town all the time, right?" Xuan Chen said.

Bai Xuan smiled meaningfully, "Yes." ”

There was a brief silence on the eaves, and Xuan Chen seemed to have something to say, and swallowed it back again and again.

After a while.

"Can I be your student?" asked Xuanchen.

Bai Xuan was surprised for a moment, and then asked indifferently: "This is very important?"

"Because on my own, I don't know how to get stronger as quickly as possible. But I know, you're strong. Hyun Jin looked at the handsome man nervously, worried that he would have to reject himself next.

Bai Xuan, who was accustomed to being alone, never wanted to have any worries around him, which he regarded as a stumbling block to the avenue. So he wanted to reject Xuan Chen at first, but the moment the thought arose, he remembered what he had said to that man when he met him for the last time.

"You should have met that kid of mine, smart, gifted, let me be, I think you'd like it. If you have a chance, you might as well teach him something, haha, there's no way, who made me incompetent as a father, so I had to shirk the responsibility and dump it on you. ”

It turned out that it had been premeditated.

Bai Xuan was silent for a moment, and then said, "Chop first and then play...... That's fine. ”

For Bai Xuan's first half of the sentence, Xuanchen heard a little foggy, but from the two words in the second half of the sentence, Xuanchen heard a trace of extraneous sound.

"Then did you agree?" asked Xuanchen Huanyue.

"Don't get too happy, don't be qualified, I'll remove you at any time. Bai Xuan said coldly, and his figure disappeared in a flash.

Under the night, there is an evening breeze, and there are stunned and smirking teenagers.

After the joyful youth, he got up and patted the dust off his buttocks, turned over and went down to the room, ready to pack up his things for tomorrow's trip to the Demon Beast Mountain Range.
