The dinner prepared by Gong Xiping is actually very simple, but it is quite laborious. Handmade smoked salmon sandwiches, seasonal fruit salad, special borscht. Sandwiches, salads, and soups, all for one serving per person. Not to mention that this steaming borscht has a lot of toppings in it, but this smoked salmon sandwich alone is more time-consuming to make. But fortunately, there are only two people to eat, and Gong Xiping didn't do much. The two sat facing each other, with a rattan dining table in between.

Looking at the food in front of him, Xi Yuling asked, "You usually eat this?" ”

Gong Xiping nodded: "This is convenient." ”

"But it's not nutritious."

"I don't care."

Xi Yuling suddenly felt a little sad in his heart. Although Gong Xiping has always been talking about his own affairs in a very flat tone, it seems more and more desolate to her. Since I was a child, I have no parents and have always lived alone, and this kind of loneliness and loneliness cannot be experienced by others. Especially in childhood, whenever I see other children have parents, but I am alone, this sense of loss is indescribable.

After tasting borscht and fruit salad, Xi Yuling was surprised to find that two simple things were so delicious. After another bite of the sandwich, I can't stop eating it.

Xi Yuling feasted uncharacteristically, ate two sandwiches and a plate of borscht, and ate the fruit salad on the bottom of the plate, then wiped his mouth with a tissue, and was a little embarrassed.

Gong Xiping couldn't help but feel very funny when he saw that the squad leader, who was usually a little introverted and wooden, also had this kind of eating appearance. He handed the sandwich on his plate to Xi Yuling and said, "If it's not enough, there are still here." ”

Xi Yuling's face turned red, and he said with some embarrassment: "I'm enough......"

Gong Xiping still insisted on putting the plate in front of her, thought about it, handed her the fruit salad as well, and then drank the soup by himself.

Xi Yuling was already a little embarrassed to let Gong Xiping see her indecent food, but now Gong Xiping gave her his own food, which made her feel even more hot on her face. However, Gong Xiping's cooking was so delicious that she was reluctant to refuse, so she said, "I...... You ......"

Gong Xiping glanced up at her and said, "You're welcome, it's not difficult to get these, I'll do it myself when I'm hungry." ”

With Gong Xiping's words, Xi Yuling no longer insisted. However, this time she ate much better than before, but she still couldn't stop eating.

Xi Yuling sent down two more sandwiches and a pot of fruit salad in one go, and finally let out a sigh of relief and leaned back in the chair. Gong Xiping's soup was also drunk, he took out his cigarette and lighter, and was about to light it, when he suddenly thought that the squad leader was still sitting here, so he raised his eyes and looked at the squad leader: "You don't mind, right?" ”

Although Xi Yuling wanted to say that middle school students can't smoke, she didn't know why, at this moment, she couldn't say this sentence anyway. She smiled and shook her head, then watched as Gong Xiping lit a cigarette in a chic and unique way.

"Gong Xiping, maybe you don't like to hear this, but you're only a middle school student, so it's not good to smoke, right?" Xi Yuling struggled for a long time, and finally said it.

Gong Xiping spit out a smoke ring and said lightly: "Get used to it......"

Xi Yuling originally wanted to tell him that smoking is harmful to his health, but seeing that he smoked so stylishly, and there was an indescribable sense of beauty, he couldn't say this sentence anyway.

Gong Xiping took a few puffs of cigarettes, and his addiction was satisfied. Considering that Xi Yuling was a girl after all, it was not good to smoke in front of her, so he also snuffed out the cigarette.

He pointed to the sofa and said, "Come, I'll take your pulse first and see how you are doing." ”

Xi Yuling has actually been accustomed to his congenital heart disease for a long time. In fact, she had seen many doctors when she was very young, but no matter what hospital or specialist, they could not treat her disease. Therefore, she never had any hope for her disease. But since Gong Xiping said that he wanted to help show her, it didn't matter, anyway, a dead horse was a live horse doctor, and if he was cured, he earned it, and if he didn't heal, he didn't lose anything.

The two sat side by side on the sofa, Xi Yuling pouted his sleeves and stretched out his right hand. Gong Xiping stretched out his index and middle fingers and gently placed them on her wrists.

Everything seemed to stand still, and even time seemed to have stopped. Gong Xiping closed his eyes and concentrated, just like an old monk entering the meditation. And Xi Yuling knew that he was diagnosing, and he didn't dare to make a noise to disturb him. The two of them were like petrified, motionless, and they could probably hear even the needle falling on the ground.

After about ten minutes like this, Gong Xiping opened his eyes, he looked at Xi Yuling, but was surprised to find that this girl, who usually looked weak, did not have the slightest desire and exploration in her eyes. Yes, it's just bland. Gong Xiping couldn't help but sigh secretly, it seemed that she no longer had any hope for her condition.

Gong Xiping let out a long breath and said slowly: "Sure enough, it is congenital heart disease, and it is a rare genetic disease. ”

Xi Yuling's expression and eyes did not show any loss, she just smiled faintly: "Yes, many doctors say so. ”

Gong Xiping nodded, and then said, "This is indeed difficult to heal. Maybe I'm not at home, but I think my relative might be able to do it. ”

When Xi Yuling heard this, she didn't show any joy or excitement, she just hummed lightly.

For her bland performance, Gong Xiping did not blame or displease. He knew very well what Xi Yuling was feeling at the moment. When your hopes are destroyed again and again, you are greeted only by despair. Only when a person is truly desperate can she look at everything calmly.

Looking at the clock on the wall, it was almost 8 o'clock. Xi Yuling saw that it was so late, so he got up to go home. Gong Xiping gentlemanly sent her downstairs and helped her stop a taxi.

"That, Gong Xiping, see you tomorrow. Thank you today. After Xi Yuling got into the car, he rolled down the window and said to Gong Xiping.

Gong Xiping showed a rare smile, and then quickly took out 50 yuan and threw it to the taxi driver.

"See you tomorrow, then."

Xi Yuling's short stay did not have the slightest impact on Gong Xiping's life trajectory. He started by doing the exercises that he had to do every day.

Gong Xiping is Ling Li's most proud disciple, and even as early as a few years ago, Ling Li, a god-like figure in the martial arts world, said that Gong Xiping's skills are definitely not below him, and he can definitely surpass him when the time comes. It's a pity that before this day came, he had an accident.

But fortunately, in addition to his amazing talent, Gong Xiping himself also has insurmountable willpower. Even Ling Li had to admit that this kid's tenacious willpower was inferior to him. If you have talent and perseverance, then if you come to practice this set of exercises taught by Ling Li, you will naturally get twice the result with half the effort.

Ling Li's exercises originated in the Ming Dynasty, and it is impossible to verify which master the founder was. However, the name of this set of exercises has been handed down intact. The name of this set of exercises is very shocking, it is called "Shaking Yue", it is said that if you practice to the extreme, with your own strength, you can really shake the moon. But that's just a legend, and no one seems to have been able to practice that kind of realm so far.

However, there is something magical about this set of exercises. This set of exercises does not advocate how to cultivate internal strength, how to open up the meridians. Instead, the focus is on how to exercise**. But the strange thing is that although the focus of the whole exercise is exercise, it is not to make people insist on physical exercise and muscle training every day, but through a strange qi in the body, from the inside out, transformation**, exercise**.

The correct name for this kind of qi has long been unknown. Ling Li likes to turn this qi into righteousness. Righteousness is not something that can be obtained by casual cultivation, and the way to obtain it is actually a very painful process. Because first of all, you have to cultivate internal force, but cultivating internal force is not to make yourself have internal force, but you must purify the internal force obtained from cultivation, constantly purify, and purify the internal force to the most essence of the point, so that it can be retained. And the purest internal force that has been retained is righteousness. Relying on this little bit of righteousness alone, it is absolutely impossible to transform **. Therefore, the so-called cultivation is to first increase the cultivation of internal force, then purify the internal force, and finally accumulate the purest internal force, that is, righteous qi.

This kind of cultivation is said to be martial arts, but the method is a bit like alchemy in ancient times. It is rumored that many immortal families' inner pills are cultivated little by little in this way.

Of course, these immortal alchemies and the like are pure nonsense, but they also reflect how difficult this kind of exercise cultivation is.

If it's simply difficult, it's not hard for those who have a heart. However, in addition to the difficulty of this set of exercises, it also has a characteristic that makes people vomit blood. That is, you have finally accumulated enough righteousness to transform your **, but when you really start to transform **, you will find that this transformation process is really not something that people can bear.

That kind of pain is more torture than pain. Once the righteousness begins to transform**, it cannot be stopped halfway. This means that once it begins, this kind of outright torture that can make people lose themselves cannot be stopped. This torture is more than just pain. Pain is only a small part of it, the real pain is mental torture. Because there are terrible hallucinations during the transformation process. For example, you can clearly experience the sensation of your own brain bursting, or you can taste the sensation of being in a different place in your body. This illusion is like a dream, as if it is an illusion, but everything is so real.

And at this time, if the mental power and willpower are slightly shaken, then it is either a mental breakdown or an explosion and death. Many people just can't endure this nightmarish torture in the process of cultivation, and eventually either commit suicide or go crazy.

After the double torture of ** and spirit, ** will begin to be truly promoted. This may be the so-called rebirth. Without this inhuman torture, there would be no rebirth.

Of course, freezing three feet is not a cold. Although righteousness can achieve the effect of exercising and transforming from the inside out, it is not the end of the transformation once. It must be through repeated transformation and tempering many times in order to make the best be completely fundamentally transformed.

However, it already takes a lot of courage and perseverance to endure such an inhuman torture, as well as a bit of luck. Repeatedly endure this kind of pain that ordinary people can't bear, let alone ordinary people, even if they are not ordinary people, they can't bear it. Therefore, it can be said that it is very rare for this kind of exercise to be practiced in the end and reach the high-level realm.

According to Ling Li, since the inception of this set of exercises, there have been less than 1,000 people who have been able to practice to the second level, less than 100 people who have been able to practice to the third level, and less than 10 people who have been able to practice to the fourth level or even higher. And no one can ever practice to the highest level.

Ling Li practiced all his life and practiced to the fourth level. Gong Xiping had already practiced to the fourth level, and there was a good chance of breaking through the fourth level and reaching the fifth level. It's a pity that he had an accident later, and after being reborn after a brain transplant, he had to start all over again honestly.

However, with his previous cultivation experience, and Gong Xiping was originally a person with extraordinary willpower, so after just one year after being reborn, he easily broke through the first weight to reach the second level, and now he has begun to break through the second level and is ready to move on to the third level.

He continues to practice hard every day, and his progress and growth are also evident.
