Chapter 24: The Way of Enlightenment
"Why don't you get out of the way?"
Facing the unarmed Mo Zihan, Long Ling was a little hesitant at that moment.
Mo Zihan slowly opened his eyes, looking at the sharp claws of Long Ling on his chest wrapped in black and purple scale armor, the black fingertips were shining with a little silver light, and the tips of the claws were extremely sharp, thinking that if he hit himself this time, it would definitely be impossible to escape death.
"Ever since we entered the door, Miss Dragon has always been courteous, and I believe in my heart that you will not hurt us. β
Although Mo Zihan was calm on the surface, his back was already in a cold sweat.
Long Ling withdrew her dragon claws, and the black and purple scale armor on her hand turned into white and smooth skin in an instant, she was still angry with Mo Zihan, turned her back to Mo Zihan and said:
"I've said everything I should tell you, what else are you going to do? Could it be that you see that my sister and I are kind by nature, so we have to increase the conditions even harder?"
"Of course not. Mo Zihan walked quickly in front of Long Ling, looking at her frowning and angry, he couldn't help laughing.
"I just heard you say that you and the future me are old acquaintances, and now your old acquaintance died of someone else's plot, presumably Miss Long, you are also a little sad. β
"Sad fart!"
Long Ling saw Mo Zihan laughing at herself, and then turned her head to look at him.
"It's okay not to be sad, but I think that if you can teach me some methods of controlling the breath in my body now, I will go back and practice diligently, and maybe I will be able to escape this catastrophe thirty years later. β
"Practice, you are too naΓ―ve, the 'Qi Walker' only appeared in the world after the 'Heavenly Tribulation', even if I teach you now, when you return to the original point in time, no matter how hard you practice, you won't be able to feel the flow of breath. β
Long Ling turned around and looked at Mo Zihan: "You are only relying on your son Mo Chenfeng's body to have a certain amount of foundation now, so that you can slightly feel the benefits of the breath." β
Mo Zihan heard Long Ling say this, reached out and touched his cheek, just now, he had completely forgotten that he was now occupying the body of his son Mo Chenfeng, and couldn't help but secretly rejoice that Long Ling was merciful, otherwise he would have become an indirect murderer who killed his son.
Thinking of this, Mo Zihan suddenly clasped his fists with both hands, bowed his head towards Long Ling and said:
"In this case, you have to help me even more, as an old friend, I believe that the kind dragon girl must not want her friend's son to lose his father at a young age, you just teach me, no matter what the situation is after I go back, I will be grateful to the girl for her help today." Regarding taking you out, as long as the girl can help me, Yu'er and I will definitely do what we say" After speaking, he looked up at Qiu Shuyu, who was standing at the door with a confused face.
Long Ling was really taken aback by Mo Zihan's respectful and respectful gesture, in her impression, the future Mo Zihan is a person who is strong in blood and temperament, and he is a person who does not say anything, although he occasionally has a flamboyant tongue, but he can also be regarded as an upright human being, seeing him ask himself like this now, he naturally can't refuse in his heart.
"Okay, but I'm a dragon after all, and I only know a little about how to control the flow of human breath, so I can only teach you a little fur. β
Mo Zihan nodded violently and said, "A little is good!"
"You close your eyes first. Long Ling put his hand on Mo Zihan's shoulder and said, "Relax and feel the flow of gas all over your body, from head to toe, so that your breath forms a good circulation in your body." β
Mo Zihan breathed evenly, while experiencing the mystery of Long Ling's words, and after a while, he felt a slight heat all over his body, as if he was soaking in warm water, extremely comfortable, and there seemed to be five or six small fish swimming around in his body, which felt so strange. Even the autumn rain on the side also practiced.
"When you can feel a lot of foreign objects moving around in your body, you have felt the flow of breath, and now you try to concentrate the breath that is moving around in your body. β
Long Ling saw that Mo Zihan was getting better, so he gradually accelerated his progress.
Mo Zihan has a foundation in practicing vocal music for four years in college, and when it comes to concentrating his breath, he naturally sinks into the dantian, and the diaphragm on his waist rises slightly, but the breath in his body does not listen to the command at all, and still swims freely in his body.
Seeing that the situation was wrong, Long Ling hurriedly corrected: "The concentration point of the aura of the 'Qi Walker' is not in the dantian, but in the 'atrium' and 'life gate'. β
"Atrium?" Mo Zihan didn't know what Long Ling was talking about, and asked quietly.
"These are the two major acupuncture points of human beings,"
Long Ling stretched out his left index finger and gently touched Mo Zihan's chest
"The front of the human body, the middle of the chest, and the fifth intercostal space, is the 'atrium acupoint'. β
After speaking, he turned behind Mo Zihan and tapped the middle of his waist and said:
"The back of the human body, near the waist, is about between the spinous processes of the second and third lumbar vertebrae, which is the 'life-gate point'. Compared to the two, it is easier for the 'atrium' to collect qi than the 'life gate', so you try to concentrate all the qi in the 'atrium acupoint' first. β
When Mo Zihan heard her say this, he suddenly realized, adjusted his breathing, and imagined that a big hand would grow in his body, and concentrate the breath that was wandering around his body in the middle of his chest.
As soon as this move came out, it was really different from just now, Mo Zihan's body, which was still slightly hot in the last second, instantly dropped his body temperature, as if he jumped from a hot spring into a pool of ice water, but the atrium acupoint in his chest was as hot as a flame, this cold and hot made Mo Zihan feel like he was in the ice and snow and the raging flames at the same time, and the extreme temperature difference made him shiver.
"It's now, push the breath in your chest to every corner of your body without any trace of it!"
Mo Zihan's chest shook violently after hearing this, and the body seemed to be blowing through the wind, and the hot air instantly dispersed in all directions, flying to every corner of the body, Mo Zihan instantly felt that his body was up and down, his hands and feet, ten fingers and ten toes, and even every pore were boiling, and the heat instantly spread throughout his body, making Mo Zihan feel unprecedented transparency and comfort.
"Alright. β
Long Ling's tone gradually soothed, Mo Zihan opened his eyes, he only felt that at this time, his hands seemed to be holding a hot gas, and when he spread his hands, he found that a faint trace of gas was slowly emerging from his palm, and the gas flew lightly into the air, and it slowly dissipated after a few seconds.
Not only that, the pores of Mo Zihan's arms, abdomen, and every inch of skin on his body were all opened, and those almost colorless gases were steaming up from the thousands of pores, like a boiling human-shaped kettle bubbling outward.
Mo Zihan stroked the steaming skin vigorously, and even tried to blow it with his mouth, but these gases were like a steady stream of water after the glacier melted, constantly steaming up from the pores.
Mo Zihan was amazed by the scene in front of him, if it weren't for the coincidence that he could come to this nascent city in advance, maybe he wanted to break through the sky, but he couldn't imagine that there was such a great potential in the human body, at this moment he was naturally ecstatic and excited in his heart, there were thousands of questions, but he didn't know where to start. Bow your head and soak in the feeling of being airy.
"This is the initial stage of the 'Qi Walker' aura wrapping around the whole body: colorless, your son Mo Chenfeng has inherited the powerful aura in your future body, and he comprehends it much faster than ordinary people. β
Long Ling smiled, and seemed to be very sure of Mo Zihan's comprehension ability.
However, within a few seconds, Long Ling's eyes widened, and he looked at Qiu Shuyu behind Mo Zihan with a surprised expression.
Mo Zihan saw that her face changed suddenly, and when he looked back, he saw Qiu Shuyu standing in place, bursts of hot air floating out of his body,
"Wow, Brother Mo, Sister Long, I can too!"
Qiu Shuyu's face was full of joy, wrapped in steaming heat, and trotted to Mo Zihan's side.
It turned out that when Long Ling carefully taught Mo Zihan the way of qi just now, Qiu Shuyu was also secretly studying on the side, but Long Ling never expected that an ordinary little girl could comprehend the method of entangling her body so quickly.
"How did you do that?"
Long Ling grabbed the autumn rain to his side
"This Mo Chenfeng's body has inherited the powerful aura in Mo Zihan's body, otherwise ordinary people would not have comprehended the way of 'colorlessness' so quickly. What is your sister's identity?"
"Me?" Qiu Shuyu pointed to himself and said, "My name is Qiu Shuyu, I just turned 20 years old this year, and my family lives in ......."
"Hey, it turned out to be the daughter of the Qiu family, it's really better to hear than to see. β
Long Ling didn't wait for Qiu Shuyu to finish speaking, she had already hidden her face and snickered.
The autumn rain was puzzled, Mo Zihan was even more confused, Long Ling saw the two of them looking at each other, and hurriedly continued to ask:
"Your father must be the famous water city mayor Qiu Zhiming. β
Qiu Shuyu just nodded, this point frightened Mo Zihan beside him, and even forgot that he still had qi in his body, and in an instant, there was no airflow, and his body returned to a normal state.
Mo Zihan just didn't expect that the short-haired little girl who followed him along the way was actually the daughter of the new mayor Qiu Zhiming, who saved the people of the city in danger, in Shirley's mouth.
It's no wonder that this girl was still in the courtyard and said: Where her father can enter, she can also enter. The home page of the "Hundred Beast Fence" can be freely entered, and it turns out that it has such a deep family background.
As soon as Long Ling finished speaking, he answered with a full eyebrow:
"A human mayor's daughter, a young version of the strongest explorer of the future, will not have to kneel down and thank me if I take you both and hand them over to some fang-and-clawed beasts. β
As soon as Long Ling's words fell, Mo Zihan immediately walked around his body, and hot air evaporated out of his body, only to see him clenching his fist with one hand and saying, "Let's fight one by one." β
"Yo, you've just learned to get some fur, and you want to do it with those strange beasts with teeth and claws?"
Long Ling saw that his second luck was so skillful, and he was secretly surprised in his heart, but he was unrelenting, and turned around and sat on the edge of the bed after speaking.
"Okay, now you can take my sister and me out. β
"A gentleman's word, a quick horse, and you can say how we can take you out. β
Mo Zihan looked at his body and nodded contentedly
"Look at the door and the window with what's hanging on it?"
Long Ling pointed in the direction of the iron door and window and said, "That's the tooth of the 'beast', and it is also the thing that our dragon clan fears the most. β
Mo Zihan looked in the direction of Long Ling's finger, and saw that the iron door and window were tied with a finger-long black fangs with red ropes hanging upside down, and the two fangs were black and bright, which seemed sharp, but when Mo Zihan approached and reached out to touch it, he found that the black tooth was already pitted on the surface, full of traces of vicissitudes left by the years.
"Sister Long is so capable, can two teeth restrict your movements?" Qiu Shuyu wondered.
Long Ling helplessly spread his hands and said: "Everything has its nemesis, and the nemesis of our dragon is the ugly and fierce 'beast', although the monster is not as big as the dragon, it has rough skin and thick flesh, and our sharp claws can't penetrate the skin of the 'dragon', but their teeth can easily pierce our dragon scales, so the dragon and the dragon have been in a state of one thing descending one thing since their birth." Their fangs and claws are so soft that they don't even have the strength to walk, let alone fly."
Mo Zihan saw that Long Ling had no reservations about himself, and even explained the most restrained things, so he let go of all the defenses in his heart, walked under the iron door, grabbed the red rope and pulled it hard, but the red rope as thick as noodles seemed to be added with steel wire, and there was no sign of breakage.
Mo Zihan wanted to untie the buckle tied to the tooth again, and after tinkering for a long time, he sweated profusely, but the buckle still didn't move.
Mo Zihan was secretly surprised by the material of this red rope, but he heard Long Ling behind him say:
"If the material of this red rope is the same as ordinary hemp rope, where do I need your help, Granny Peony poured the blood of the beast on this red rope, the blood of the monster is quite magical, once the beast blood is condensed in the air, it will become extremely hard, and ordinary sharp weapons can't hurt it in the slightest. β
"And how do you want me to help you?"
"You come here," Long Ling hooked her index finger and motioned for Mo Zihan to approach, Mo Zihan didn't know what trick she was going to play, and leaned down to hear her say:
"Although this beast is strong, but as I just said, one thing descends one thing, and the thing that can easily subdue the beast in this world is gold. β
"Gold, where can I find you gold?"
"Don't worry," Long Ling pointed downstairs and said, "In Granny Peony's bedroom downstairs, she hides a pair of scissors made of pure gold, you go downstairs to find the gold scissors, and then come up and cut the red rope on the door and window, and I will be free." β
After hearing this, Mo Zihan didn't think about it, clasped his hands into fists, and only said: "Farewell!" and pulled Qiu Shuyu to the door again.
"Just now, you and Yu'er were talking about how powerful this peony mother-in-law is, and she is the first 'xenomorph' in the world, and the strongest 'fantasy'. Now that you're going to let me steal something from such a strong old man's bedroom, you might as well use your dragon claws to give me a good idea. β
Mo Zihan led Qiu Shuyu to the door, with a look of anger on his face.
Long Ling smiled, and flew into the air again for a while:
"I don't know about this blue-haired sister, but for you, my mother-in-law will never touch a single hair of you. β
Mo Zihan thought to himself that this peony mother-in-law also had something to do with him, if that was the case, he would have known that he would not have taken the autumn rain to hide in Tibet at that time.
"Really? why?"
"You don't care so much, I can't get out if I hurt you."
"Okay, Yu'er, you stay here, I'll go alone. β
Mo Zihan said and let go of Qiu Shuyu's hand. As soon as ......he let go, Qiu Shuyu grabbed his sleeve and said, "I don't! I can still help you. β
Mo Zihan saw that this little girl cared about herself, and her heart felt like she had been poured a hot spring, not to mention how comfortable it was. But I can't help but be a person at this point in time, and I already have Shirley in my heart, so now I can only treat Qiu Shuyu as a little niece.
But thinking of this, Mo Zihan suddenly had a whim, he looked at the innocent girl in front of him, whose eyes were like clear springs, and remembered that he could give birth to Mo Chenfeng after many years, if his son could marry Qiu Shuyu home, it would also be a great joy.
After thinking about it for a while, the corners of Mo Zihan's mouth couldn't help but show a snicker, he touched Shuyu's short blue hair, and said with a smile: "Didn't that Long Ling say just now, she promised that Granny Peony would not hurt me, and if I was in danger, she wouldn't be able to get out." So don't worry, just wait for me here. β
Qiu Shuyu nodded thoughtfully, and then let go of Mo Zihan's sleeves.
Bang!
In the quiet corridor, the twelve gates were closed, the dim yellow light reflected the white paint that was about to peel off on the wall, and every step Mo Zihan took on the stairs was like walking on thin ice, for fear of making a little noise.
He only heard from Long Ling's mouth that Granny Peony would not hurt him, but he neither knew the root nor the bottom of this Granny Peony, but since there was a creature like "Dragon" living in the family, this person must not be an idle person.
As soon as Mo Zihan walked to the staircase on the first floor, there was a sound of Ding Ling's hammering iron in the living room, Mo Zihan's heart tightened, and he hid by the wall with an arrow, and after the sound stopped, after a while, Mo Zihan dared to poke his head out to take a look.
The huge living room was empty, but the orange flame was already burning in the stove in front of it.
After confirming the safety, Mo Zihan dared to crawl forward, squatted down step by step close to the sofa, and slowly revealed two eyes from behind the sofa, Mo Zihan saw that in a small door facing him, an old woman wearing a black floral dress and a silver thread was pouring something inside, although it was far away, but Mo Zihan still smelled a trace of the fragrance of food from the air, it turned out that the peony old woman was cooking in the kitchen at the moment.
Mo Zihan looked around again, where the vision could be seen in the entire living room, there was only a door next to the kitchen and the stove, presumably that was where the mother-in-law's bedroom was, the bedroom door and the kitchen were about three meters away, such a good opportunity, how could he let it go, Mo Zihan immediately shifted his position, in order not to be discovered, he also deliberately spared a circle from the front of the living room.
Gently open the bedroom door, compared to the boudoir of Longling upstairs, Granny Peony's room looks much cleaner and simpler, the furniture in the room is all made of reddish-brown solid wood, the walls are white and flawless, the floor is almost spotless, and the quilts and sheets are neat and orderly.
Mo Zihan was amazed that the structure and furnishings of this room were almost the same as the bedroom of the mother-in-law in his own family. It seems that tidying up and saving money seems to be the habit of every elderly person. However, Mo Zihan was not in the mood to appreciate everything in this orderly manner now, he just wanted to find the scissors quickly.
Although it is necessary to pursue speed, it is more important to be light at this moment, so light that it cannot make a sound.
Mo Zihan searched for a while in the room, but he didn't see where the scissors went, and there was no progress in the matter, Mo Zihan was afraid that he would be discovered by the peony mother-in-law outside, and he was at a loss for a while, and beads of sweat the size of beans oozed from his forehead.
However, it was at this time when he was at a loss that Mo Zihan suddenly thought that his grandmother had a habit of putting her wallet and other valuables under her pillow.
With the attitude of giving it a try, Mo Zihan lifted the pillow embroidered with peonies on the bed, and sure enough, a golden little scissors came into Mo Zihan's eyes.
However, in addition to this delicate little scissors, there is also a white photo frame that catches Mo Zihan's eyes at the same time.
It is said that curiosity kills cats, Mo Zihan is very familiar with the appearance of this photo frame, and he was suspicious for a while, put the scissors into his pocket, and after turning his head to confirm safety, he picked up the photo frame and took a look, and suddenly all the pores of the whole body opened, the pupils dilated, and the whole body froze in place as if it had been hit by five thunderbolts.
Coincidentally, there is no book, not to mention anything else in the whole room, as far as the photos in this frame are concerned, Mo Zihan is familiar and can't be more familiar.
There are three people in the photo, on the left and right are his mother and grandmother, and the short boy in the middle is Mo Zihan himself, behind the three people in the photo is a huge Ferris wheel, Mo Zihan will never forget that this is his twelfth birthday, his mother and grandmother took him to the amusement park to play.
Mo Zihan never expected that he would find this photo in a mountain villa thirty years later.
At that moment, Mo Zihan's head was like a mess of paste, he held the photo frame, and the past was vivid. And in the few minutes he spent standing in the room, he also understood why Long Ling said that this peony mother-in-law would never hurt himself. Because there is only one photo in the family, my grandmother has loved her for many years, so this photo has always been kept by my grandmother.
If my grandmother had been alive thirty years later, she would have been 100 years old.
But no matter how Mo Zihan turned over the river and the sea in his heart at this moment, his first task was not here, put the photo frame back in its original position, and after the room was organized, Mo Zihan returned step by step.
Cautiously returning to the staircase, Mo Zihan leaned against the wall, and couldn't help but glance back at the back of the peony mother-in-law, the silver hair, and the peony flower dress that was gradually familiar, looking at everything that was familiar, I couldn't help but feel a sour feeling on the tip of my nose.
