Chapter 22: Days in the Loose House
Lu Guo was arranged by Chen Xu to live in a rich family's house. The environment here is much larger and better than the Feiwu Medical Hall, Lu Guo's bedroom is extremely beautifully decorated, and the furnishings inside are also very elegant, Lu Guo doesn't even dare to move, for fear of accidentally knocking over anything, in his opinion, everything here is outrageously expensive.
Outside Lu Guo's bedroom is the back garden, except for the pond that looks like a large lake, the cobblestone path alone will take more than an hour to complete, not to mention the greenery and landscaping next to the path, the pavilion and the separate corridor, in Lu Guo's words, this back garden is already about the size of Yashan Village.
Chen Xu did not appear again, but the housekeeper of this mansion quickly came to the door, first said that Chen Xu was going out for a while, and the arrangements had been arranged, and then specially told Lu Guo some basic things that he needed to know, such as the general location of the mansion and the functions of various buildings, some places that could not be gone at will, as well as the instructions not to go out before Chen Xu came back, and the general information of several gentlemen who came to teach every day. In addition, he also brought eight maids who were going to serve Lu Guo's daily life, introduced their names one by one, and assigned different duties. In short, what Lu Guo thought of was unexpected, the housekeeper arranged it properly for him, and there was no room for pickiness.
Lu Guo was not accustomed to being served by others, not to mention the eight young girls who were a few years older than him and looked much more decent than himself. But this also seemed to be expected by the housekeeper, and he calmly and patiently told Lu Guo the truth for more than three hours, and in the end, Lu Guo still couldn't refuse anything.
In the next few days, the eight maids asked Lu Guo to get up, change Lu Guo's clothes, bring food, clean up the house, and so on, Lu Guo didn't have to think about anything, and devoted himself wholeheartedly to his practice.
Lu Guo spends a total of seven hours a day in practice, and the four gentlemen teach in shifts, and the length of time is determined by the four gentlemen. The four gentlemen are all from the monks' society, and they each teach the refining of the mind, the body, the soul, and the qi.
The gentleman who refines the heart is called Liao Weizheng, and the heart is more and more different, he does not seek practice, but teaches Lu Guo a mind-setting technique, saying that this is the most stable practice for heart cultivators, and the cultivation of the mind must be corrected, so as not to raise the demons in the heart.
The gentleman who refining the body was not Luo Jian, but an old man named Bu Mingyu, who claimed to be more than eighty years old, but his whole body exuded a strong aura, and his muscles were about to tear his clothes. His teaching to Lu Guo was mainly about some exertional methods, as well as exercises to strengthen strength.
The gentleman who refining the soul was thin and weak, like a dry wood, and called himself Zhu Hongxiu, he was the only gentleman who did not teach in the back garden, and he always took Lu Guo to a gloomy stone room on the bottom floor of the mansion, so that Lu Guo could feel the soul body on his own.
Mr. Qi Refining is the most admired by Lu Guo, because most of the things taught by Mr. Jiang Maoqi of Qi refining can't see the effect, and as soon as Mr. Jiang Maoqi, who refines Qi, makes a move, he can clearly see that the stones are bursting, the trees are broken, and the moves are also the most gorgeous. Although Lu Guo was also very serious about several other kinds of cultivation, the hardest working was definitely the part of qi refining.
During the day, Lu Guo concentrated on studying with these four gentlemen, and at night, he continued to communicate with Yan Wentu. Because three of the eight maids slept not far from the bed in his bedroom, Lu Guo learned a kung fu from Yan Wentu to talk in the sea of consciousness, and in the middle of the night when the maids thought that he had already fallen asleep, he took care of Yan Wentu's sea of consciousness cultivation.
Yan Wentu told Lu Guo that at the current stage, in fact, the strongest of Lu Guo's soul and body qi must be refining gods, the bottleneck of the third order is about to be broken, and the refining body is second, although there are no powerful moves, but the body is already the third order. Soul refining and heart refining are all at the second order, the soul is strengthened by the soul clan, and the heart is the more tried and improved, no matter what, it is not a first glimpse of the doorway. But Lu Guo's favorite Qi refining is also the weakest, only the first order, although it looks very handsome, but the effect is not satisfactory.
However, Yan Wentu did not object to Lu Guo continuing to study with these monks, although in his opinion, these gentlemen were too weak to even look at them before, but for Lu Guo's practice, Yan Wentu felt that some normal starting was a better choice, the stronger the heart before, it was strong enough, but it was not reliable at all.
On this day, Lu Guo had just finished his day's practice and was going back to the house to continue his consultation with Yan Wentu, but he saw the housekeeper hurriedly running over, saluting him, and then saying, "There is a distinguished guest who wants to meet with you, of course, this is not Chen Ge Lao's arrangement, so if you don't want to see it, you don't need to see it." ”
"Then I won't see you, Mr. Butler. Lu Guo didn't really want to meet strangers, and he didn't know how to get in touch.
"Of course, that's what you meant, and the old slave should have turned the guest down. But please forgive the old slave for saying more, this distinguished guest has a somewhat special status, and it may be beneficial for you to show your skills in the future, so you might as well see it. ”
Lu Guo thought about it, the people who can come to this mansion are definitely not ordinary people, and according to what Chen Xu said, he will go to Fuyuan City in the future, he is not familiar with the place of life, maybe it is better to meet some friends in advance, and the housekeeper will not hesitate to destroy his impression to persuade the people he wants to meet, even if he is not from Fuyuan City, he must have some intersection with Fuyuan City, so he said: "Then let's see, please ask Mr. Butler to take this guest to the pavilion over there, and by the way, let Sister Huan and Sister Yu pour a cup of tea." ”
The butler saluted again, agreed, and turned to pick up the guest.
After a while, Huan'er Yu'er and the two maids came to the pavilion first, carefully wiped the tables and chairs, put snacks and tea on the table, and stood behind Lu Guo.
When the butler returned again, there was a very handsome young man by his side. Seeing that the housekeeper bowed slightly, knowing that this young man was noble, Lu Guo stood up and smiled: "This big brother, are you looking for me?"
The young man was full of extravagance and was not restrained, and responded: "I heard that there is a big man living in Xiaoyao Mansion, but the uncle and aunt of the Chen family have not said in detail, and today is in the Chen Mansion to celebrate the birthday of the Chen family's sister, so it is really presumptuous and rude to come and see it." ”
Seeing the young man apologizing, Lu Guo hurriedly said: "It's not a big person, it's just that Senior Chen was asked by my husband to let me stay here for a while." ”
"I don't know who Your Excellency is, it's my rudeness again, I should introduce myself first, in Xia Xue Tingjun, a person from Fuyuan City, is a distant relative of the Chen family. ”
"In Xialuguo, I live in Tianxiong Town, and my husband's name is Fei Wenshu, and he is a doctor. ”
