28. True Qi

Chapter 28:

After sending Uncle Liu's family away and closing the door, Zhang Jin returned to the pharmacy to clean the jars of boiling medicine and organize the things used today in the pharmacy.

Grandpa Zhang is still in love with the Golden Needle of the Nine Heavens Xuannu, and now he began to call his grandson again.

"Have you finished reading the book?"

Zhang Jin, who was washing the medicine jar, paused when he heard this, what appeared in his mind, he naturally remembered it without reading it, and if he said that he hadn't finished reading it now, if he used it in the future, wouldn't it be a slap in the face?

So he nodded and said, "Well, I'm done." ”

Grandpa Zhang's eyes lit up, and he immediately asked, "How much can you remember?"

"......" Zhang Jin looked up at his grandfather for a moment, nodded and said, "It's almost, but it's ......."

“……”

“…… It said above that the Nine Heavens Xuannu Golden Needle must be equipped with internal strength before it can be used, otherwise it will be redundant. ”

"Superfluous?" Grandpa Zhang muttered, and then said in surprise as if he had suddenly realized, "What do you kid know, even if it's not the Nine Heavens Xuannu Golden Needle, the ordinary method of acupuncture and moxibustion is very different from being matched with true qi and not with true qi." ”

"Oh!" Zhang Jin nodded ambiguously.

In the face of such an uncaring and unmotivated 'student', Grandpa Zhang, who was nicknamed 'Doctor Zhang', really wanted to beat his chest.

With this attitude, how can he continue to teach? What kind of craft does someone else want to learn, who doesn't beg grandpa to sue grandma, it's good to come to him, as if someone else is begging him to learn? How do you think about it, how do you feel aggrieved?

Helpless, Grandpa Zhang must be aggrieved now, because among the three grandchildren, this one is still a little interesting, and the other two, don't mention it!

"Be serious. "Since you have to teach aggrievedly, you can't blame the professor's bad temper, Grandpa Zhang immediately raised his eyebrows and was cold-eyed.

Zhang Jin just finished washing the medicine jar, put the medicine jar back in its place, and turned around with an innocent expression of 'I'm serious'.

Grandpa Zhang's cheeks twitched a few times, so he had to hold his breath and hold back, pretending not to see someone's expression clearly, and said: "Since ancient times, the family of traditional Chinese medicine has always pursued the principle of passing on the son not the daughter, and the inside but not the outside. It's not all about self-cherishing. It's the medical thing, which has always been a double-edged sword, which can heal people or kill people. The phrase "medicine" explains all the meanings of medicine, and those who know how to use medicine and those who don't know how to use medicine can kill people invisibly.

So, when you don't know what the character of outsiders is, you can only inherit it in your own family.

About the acupuncture of the Xuannu Golden Needle, I saw it in an ancient book of the family a long time ago, and it is said that this set of acupuncture has actually been passed down in the hands of some hidden doctors until the end of the Tang Dynasty.

It is said that the doctors who know the golden needle of the Xuannu have always been above all the doctors of the family. You read that the book says that the Xuannu Golden Needle must rely on true qi to be effective, otherwise it will be superfluous, which is actually true.

After all, Xuannu herself is a mythical god in charge of warfare, and the method of the golden needle she taught is naturally more inclined to fight.

As for the nine needles that the Yellow Emperor later handed down to the world, it may be that he stripped away his side of its use in battle. ”

Grandpa Zhang seemed to be talking to himself, and Zhang Jin listened while tidying up the pharmacy.

By the time Grandpa Zhang finished speaking, he had already cleaned up the entire pharmacy.

Grandpa Zhang checked it one last time, beckoned him out, and continued: "From tomorrow onwards, you give me a good practice of acupuncture, and I must remember everything I remember about the Nine Heavens Xuannu Golden Needle." Although it is said that the Yellow Emperor's Nine Needles belong to real doctors, since the Xuannu Golden Needle can make those hidden doctors famous for eternity, it will naturally not be as simple as I just said. ”

"Oh!"

When one person is passionate, and the other person wants to die or not, what will it feel like? Anyway, Grandpa Zhang feels that he wants to beat people. Obviously, he is an old man and is still full of vitality every day, why does his grandson seem to be seventy or eighty?

"Rest early, get up early tomorrow and practice with me. I didn't want to see someone who affected my mood again, so Grandpa Zhang dropped a sentence and turned around to take a shower.

Zhang Jin watched the back of his grandfather leaving and didn't move for a long time, until Grandpa Zhang, who was taking a bath, went out with a basin to pour water, and he was still standing there still.

After pouring the water, Grandpa Zhang looked up and saw his grandson standing in the middle of the hall, wandering in the sky, and his heart was simply ......

Simply so!

That's it, I don't know what I'm thinking all day long, I really don't know how the school grades came out? It's a miracle that I can walk for about ten minutes.

Grandpa Zhang lost the bathtub and walked into the house with a refreshing swagger, just in time to meet Zhang Jin's eyes who had just come back to his senses.

Suddenly, one looked disdainful, and the other was embarrassed.

"Go on, I won't bother you, I'll see if you can stay for the night. ”

Zhang Jin didn't dare to reply to his grandfather's words, so he hurriedly lowered his head and ran to the bedroom.

Grandpa Zhang shouted from behind: "If you don't take a bath, you dare to let me go back to the house to sleep." ”

Zhang Jin paused when he heard this, and hurriedly lowered his head and walked out again.

Today's rural bathing is mostly filled with a basin full of hot water, find a place that is not afraid of wetness, and squat there to wash. Zhang Jin would get the ground wet when he took a bath since he was a child, so he took a bath on a hot day, mostly scooped up hot water, stood on the edge of the well, and washed with the starry sky above his head.

The same is true today.

Although the lights in the hall are on, there are no lights in the yard, and the light is dim on the side of the kitchen.

However, the weather is good today, and the bright starry sky overhead, like diamonds sprinkled on a black velvet cloth, is still very illuminated after the eyes have adapted to the darkness.

Zhang Jin took the hot water and put it on the cement stone platform next to the well, stripped off his clothes in three or two, took a towel and wiped the hot water on his body little by little, wiping and wiping, remembering the picture that appeared in his mind when his grandfather said that he was really angry just now.

These pictures are very similar to the Zhang family's self-cultivation exercises that he and his grandfather have learned for more than ten years, but they seem to have something more.

Zhang Jin recalled over and over again those images that seemed to have become part of his memory. It seems that in addition to seeing the people in the picture, after preferring to practice under the stars, it is before sunrise every morning.

Could it be that the reason why it is difficult for someone to practice the Zhang family's self-cultivation exercises is because everyone chooses the wrong time to practice?

Thinking that after the completion of the exercises, he could be like the undefeated Dongfang in the rivers and lakes, flying needles and threads, killing people thousands of miles away, treating diseases and saving people, and also getting rid of the disease, Zhang Jin's heart couldn't help but be excited.

Of course, he was not excited that he could cure diseases and save people, but purely because of the martial arts dream that every young man has.

There is even a picture in the picture that when the exercise reaches a certain level, every time the practice can drive the stars to shift, and when the skill reaches this level, acupuncture can be used to prolong the life of the person.

If Zhang Jin saw these pictures before he met Dongfang Yao, he would definitely think that it was something attached to him who was fooling him, but now, he believes at least 80% of it.

Thinking that he might be able to fly the eaves and walk the wall or something in the future, Mu Ne, a person like Zhang Jin, who can only be sullen inside, can't help but be excited and want to act immediately.

In less than ten minutes, Zhang Jin finished taking a shower, came to the courtyard, and saw that the light in Grandpa Zhang's bedroom had been extinguished.

Grandpa Zhang has always pursued healthy sleep, as long as there are not many patients, his sleeping time is around ten o'clock.

Zhang Jin, who lives with Grandpa Zhang, has such a habit as long as he goes home, and goes to bed early and gets up early, and the spirit of the whole day is indeed better than going to bed late and getting up late.

Just today......

Thinking of what he had just decided in the bath, Zhang Jin, who was standing quietly in the courtyard, looked up at the bright starry sky above his head.

Then I closed my eyes and felt the refreshing coolness of the breeze in the air blowing through the skin that had just taken a bath, and the scent of grass wafting from the mountains and forests after the night was quiet, and occasionally there seemed to be the fragrance of pine wood in the mountains.

The light fragrance makes the heart that wants to calm down slowly become silent, and even directly abandons the slight rooster and dog barking that appear in the ear from time to time.

When the breeze wrapped around his whole body, Zhang Jin felt a feeling of being carried away by the wind.

The group of images that suddenly appeared in my mind involuntarily drove the body. All of the one qiē happens when it's so natural.

The body also seems to have little strength, as if lying on cotton made of clouds, swaying with the wind.

When the rooster with an outstretched neck in his grandfather's chicken coop began to crow for the first time in the morning, Zhang Jin slowly stopped his movements and opened his eyes.

The stars in the sky above his head have become sparse, and the melon lanterns accompanying him in the hall seem a little lonely at the moment.

Zhang Jin thought, but didn't immediately move his feet back to the house, the feeling of practicing just now made him very impressed, he never knew that practicing could be so selfless, if it wasn't for the rooster's crowing that woke him up from that comfortable feeling, he might have to continue.

Standing in place and feeling it carefully, Zhang Jin's heart trembled involuntarily, because he found that he had actually reached the point of the first layer marked in the picture in his mind all of a sudden.

Although all he could feel was a small warm current inside his body, according to the prompts in the picture, he was already at the beginning of Qi training, and that breath could still travel through his entire body with his thoughts. Everywhere you go, it's hot.

Is it really that simple to get started with Qi training? The picture clearly and silently tells that after modern times, it is difficult for ordinary people to get started.

However, after calming down and thinking about it carefully, Zhang Jin felt that the reason why he started so quickly may also be related to the foundation he has been practicing with his grandfather for more than ten years.

Moreover, just getting started is useless for using the Nine Heavens Xuannu Golden Needle, if you want to really use the Xuannu Golden Needle, you must reach the sixth layer or above of the refining weapon. Even if you want to use the Yellow Emperor's Nine Needles and other traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture methods to use your true qi, you must also refine the third layer, otherwise a set of acupuncture methods will not work at all, and the true qi in your body will be used up.

Thinking of this, Zhang Jin's good mood just now because of the introduction of qi practice disappeared in an instant.

Standing in the courtyard for a moment of silence, Zhang Jin still chose to go back to the house to sleep, and now he doesn't know what time it is, even if he wants to make progress quickly, he can't be in a hurry, otherwise he may lose his efforts.

When I went back to the bedroom and looked at my watch, it was already more than two o'clock in the morning, and in more than two hours, my grandfather was about to wake up and practice.

It's just that the more anxious I want to sleep, the more confused my mind becomes, and the more I can't sleep.

finally calmed down in an irritable mood, but it was actually because he thought of Dongfang Yao.

Well, it doesn't matter who you think of, as long as you don't get irritated and sleep.

Zhang Jin suddenly opened his eyes, facing a pair of shining eyes, and his frightened heart almost didn't jump out.

"Grandpa......"

Grandpa Zhang's face was very bad, and his cold expression seemed as if his grandson had made a big mistake.

Zhang Jin didn't dare to speak lightly, and even because he thought of the picture he had just dreamed of, he wanted to find a hole to drill into.

Grandpa Zhang didn't seem to see his grandson's weakness, but said coldly: "It's six o'clock in the morning now?"

"Huh?"

"Don't play dumb on me, get out of here. ”

"Uh! oh!" Zhang Jin, who reacted, quickly sat up, but why did he feel that his crotch was cold, what was going on?

When his grandfather turned to leave, he reached out and touched it, Zhang Jin's whole person froze, he, he actually had such a dream, and the dream was lost!
