Chapter 42 Root Measurement and Bone Selection
Master Mingzong extinguished the lampstone and asked Zheng Qiu to close the book: "It's not too early, I'll be here today." When I go back, I will recite more of what I said today, and I will ask questions in the future. ”
"Well, I'll definitely memorize it, and there will be absolutely nothing missing. ”
Master Ming Zong sent Zheng Qiu downstairs, and before Zheng Qiu left Fangcao Building, the master suddenly stopped him.
"Apprentice, you'll be taking herbs for twenty-five days soon," Master Mingzong stretched out his finger and counted the days, "Hmm...... It should have been five days later. When the time comes, I'll check on your root bones, and if you can, you should be able to practice some simple exercises to try your hand. ”
"Really? I'll be able to cultivate soon?"
"It should be okay, the herb master will not supervise these days, don't slack off yourself. ”
Zheng Qiu couldn't suppress the joy on his face, and kept bowing to the master: "Thank you, master, I promise to eat them all, thank you master......"
"Alright, alright, let's go back. ”
In the next few days, Master Ming Zong taught all the contents of books, basically memorizing and copying, Zheng Qiu felt as if he had returned to the days when his grandfather taught him to read. In addition to the "Cloud Sleeve Medicine Record" given to Zheng Qiu for the first time, Master Ming Zong also gave him "Qianyun Medicine Collection".
"Qianyun Medicine Collection" is divided into three books, which record the medicinal materials planted and cultivated by the Qianyun Sect for the medicine hall.
The master told him that in fact, it was the ten peaks of the medicine hall that provided the medicinal materials for the entire sect of the Qianyun Sect, and the medicinal materials planted on the Fangcao Peak were not supplied to the sect, and this was completely Elder Mingzong's own back garden.
When Elder Ming Zong gave up studying the exercises and turned to studying the medicine, the rest of the elders in the sect didn't understand, thinking that there was a medicine hall, and where did the elders need to spend their efforts to study.
Although the sect master did not stop it, he also persuaded it several times, but Elder Mingzong recognized this matter and refused to give up, so the sect master had to row another mountain peak for him.
As a result, Elder Ming Zong studied for decades, but he didn't come up with any special names, and the disciples he initially accepted also ran to the names of other elders one by one, which completely became a joke of the Qianyun Sect.
No, in addition to Elder Ming Zong and Zheng Qiu on the huge Fangcao Peak, only Grandpa and Yun You remained. There are Qianyun Sect disciples passing by every day, and I don't see any of them running to Fangcao Peak.
So Elder Ming Zong took the blue jade plate that could talk for three days, and urged the elder to send someone to do things for a while, and yelled at the elder to send someone to come over to work.
Finally, it took five days, and finally it was the day when the master said, learning the exercises. Early in the morning, Zheng Qiu ran to Fangcao Building in a hurry, and couldn't wait to find the master.
"Master, master, I'm here, where are you?" Zheng Qiu shouted as he climbed the Qianyun Ladder to the forty-fifth floor where classes were usually held.
As soon as he walked to the desk in class, a yellowish streamer swept down from the patio, it was Master Mingzong. The brilliance faded, and Zheng Qiu saw Master Ming Zong holding a blue-blue metal disc in his hand, and a dense string hung on the edge of the disc, like a flower hub with tassels.
"Apprentice, sit down and don't move. Master Ming Zong pressed Zheng Qiu to the chair, took the string outside the disc, and wrapped it around Zheng Qiu one by one.
"The root bones, which are shown on the outside, are the completeness and smoothness of the meridians, and what is contained in them is the degree to which the body fits the breath of different natures. This thing is called the Root Bone Disc and is specially used to explore the root bone. ”
Master Mingzong wrapped the string, picked up the bone disc and rotated it slowly, and the plate immediately lit up with a colorful halo, the halo was very faint, and it was difficult to distinguish it if you didn't look carefully. Then the color of the halo changes constantly, and only one at a time.
Zheng Qiu found that the rope trembled slightly, and there was a numb feeling, which continued to spread from the position where the rope was wrapped to the whole body, and this feeling was wave after wave, like waves in the river, lapping his body.
Master Ming Zong turned the plate for a while, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, he approached Zheng Qiu, reached out and touched the left and right at the place where the string was wrapped.
After a while, Master Mingzong's brows furrowed, and he checked the bone disc over and over again, patting it with his hand from time to time, and finally even grabbed the plate and knocked it on the table a few times.
Zheng Qiu noticed that something was wrong and asked the master: "What's wrong with the master, is there a problem?"
"Apprentice, wait a minute, maybe this plate is broken, I'll go change it. After that, Master Mingzong untied the string on Zheng Qiu's body, grabbed the plate and flew out of Fangcao Building.
In less than half an hour, Master Ming Zong returned, this time with a new Root Detection Bone Disc in his hand, which was a little larger than the one just now. Similarly, the master wrapped the string around Zheng Qiu, turned the plate and began to look at the bones.
However, time passed little by little, Master Mingzong's frowning brows never relaxed, and he muttered to himself: "Strange, it shouldn't be, why can't the main meridians be detected, and the nature of the breath that fits is not ......"
Hearing the master's muttering, Zheng Qiu looked very nervous, he was worried that he would not be able to cultivate, and asked eagerly: "Master, is it useless for me to take medicine?
Master Mingzong didn't answer immediately, but turned the plate and thought for a long time.
After a long time, he untied the thin rope on Zheng Qiu's body and said, "Cultivating life skills requires figuring out the situation of the main meridians, as well as the nature of the qi that fits. You can only detect some small meridians on the surface of your hands, feet, and body now, and you don't know what your main meridians are, and you definitely can't cultivate your life skills. ”
Zheng Qiu tilted his head, his eyes full of anticipation: "Master, why can't the main meridians be detected?
"One possibility is that your main meridians are completely blocked, and another possibility is that your meridians are inherently incomplete. ”
The master sat down at the table and thought of a way while drinking water, "Miscellaneous exercises can be tried, if you can practice a little bit of qi, it is possible to break away the blockage of the meridians or form new meridians." ”
"That means I can still cultivate?"
"Well, but it's not a good choice. The nature of your breath that fits you can't be measured, so you can only start with the simplest miscellaneous work. Let me think about ......"
Zheng Qiu didn't dare to disturb the master's thinking, he sat quietly, his eyes looking at his hands in a daze. I don't know how long I waited, Master Mingzong suddenly stood up, and the streamer flew to the floor above.
After a while, the master turned back and threw Zheng Qiu a palm-sized booklet. Zheng Qiu took the booklet and saw that the cover said "Folding Flower Fingers", which is an exercise.
"Master, what is this?"
"This is miscellaneous work, the simplest type of miscellaneous work. ”
Master Ming Zong clicked on the cover of the booklet, "Folding flowers, as the name suggests, is an exercise to break small things. It only needs a few small meridians of the fingers, and the exercise itself does not require qi, although it is a kind of exercise, it is actually more inclined to use the finger technique. ”
Zheng Qiu was a little puzzled: "I can fold things now, why is this also considered an exercise?"
