Chapter 3: The Second Letter
Early the next morning, Lin Xia just opened the door after getting up, ready to wash, Antonio was already waiting in the yard, after Lin Xia washed, waiting for Antonio to teach martial arts, he was also faintly excited in his heart, which old boy didn't want to be able to have martial arts.
Antonio didn't talk about martial arts directly, but asked first, "Do you know why the family is lonely?"
"I don't know. Lin Xia shook his head and said.
"The Xilin family has cultivated the Sunflower Treasure Book for generations, but except for Tang, no one has ever cultivated their Dou Qi to the fifth level. Antonio said.
"Why?" Lin Xia couldn't help but ask.
"Tang In his time, he could be said to be the strongest person in the mainland, and the Sunflower Treasure Book was the essence of Tang's martial arts, and there was no doubt that it must be extremely advanced martial arts. As for why no one has cultivated to the fifth level, I haven't figured out the specific reason. Antonio continued: "Almost everyone in the empire thinks that the luck of the Xilin family has been used up by Tang, which has led to the lack of martial arts talent in the descendants, of course, these are nothing more than rumors. ”
"Then how is your martial arts talent?" Lin Xia asked curiously
"When I was a teenager, I was also quite talented among my peers, and by the time I was nineteen, I had already cultivated to the fourth level, and I had almost no opponents among my peers. But now that I have been stuck at the peak of the fourth level for more than ten years, many people who were inferior to me before, many people have surpassed me. Antonio said in disappointment.
"I'm going to teach you the Sunflower Book now, and you're going to have to memorize it. Because Lin Xia was still illiterate, Antonio could only dictate to Lin Xia and began to recite: "The general outline of the Sunflower Treasure Book, if you want to practice divine skills, you must first hone your will, strengthen your physical exercise, and be able to withstand starvation......"
Lin Xia listened to the translation recited by Antonio, and felt a chill in his heart. Who translated this, what is the matter with starvation, can it be that starvation can be practiced without success.
Antonio explained: "It is easy to understand the tempering of the will, and the strengthening of the body and the cultivation of the mainstream fighting spirit in the mainland coincide with the polishing of the body, but after more than ten generations of cultivation, I still don't know why I can withstand starvation." Once an ancestor tried to skip meals and persisted for eighteen days. ”
When Lin Xia heard that there were really people starving, he was a little speechless, Tang should be a smart person, why are the genes of the offspring more wonderful than the other, but he still asked: "What about later?"
Antonio sighed and said, "He's faint from hunger." ”
Lin Xia said in his heart: "Sure enough." ”
Antonio began to talk about the most basic introductory knowledge of Douqi, at the beginning of cultivating Douqi, in fact, there is nothing complicated, it is the strength of the body, when the physical strength reaches a certain level, the body will produce a sense of qi, and this sense of qi is Douqi, this step is also called entry-level or zero-level.
Only after the entry level will they be called martial artists, and according to the strength of the fighting qi, from the first level to the ninth level of fighting qi, they are called first-level martial artists to ninth-level martial artists. And above the ninth level, there is also a holy level, and Tang, the first patriarch of the Xilin family, is a holy level.
The entry-level cultivation is mainly to cultivate the strength of the body, and the methods of each family are similar, giving Lin Xia the feeling of combining aerobic training with anaerobic training.
Lin Xia began to practice with Antonio in this way, but since Lin Xia started to cultivate, Lin Xia was ready to cultivate the seedlings of the Troubled Boy Sean but had nothing to do, usually Sean followed behind Lin Xia, and he did whatever Lin Xia said. But after Lin Xia started to cultivate, Sean could only watch from the sidelines, and as soon as Lin Xia and Antonio said, Sean also began to practice with Lin Xia.
At the same time as he was cultivating, Antonio arranged for Lin Xia and Sean to study in the academy, for which Antonio felt very guilty, the life of the Xilin family was already very poor, and it was not enough for Lin Xia to go to the noble academy, so he could only study in the civilian academy, and Lin Xia didn't feel anything about it.
Lin Xia practiced for two years, and did not feel the existence of Dou Qi at all, until half a year after Sean started to cultivate, the Dou Qi was condensed in his body, and he began to officially enter the stage of cultivating Dou Qi, and the Dou Qi cultivation method that Antonio taught to Sean was not the Sunflower Treasure Book, but a set of ordinary martial arts collected by the Xilin family.
For Lin Xia's inability to condense his fighting spirit, Antonio's explanation is that there are two situations in which he cannot condense his fighting qi, the first is that he has no talent, although martial arts cultivation is not like the one-in-a-million talent requirement of magicians, but there are still nearly half of the people who do not have the talent to cultivate martial arts.
And the second explanation is that Lin Xia has not cultivated enough of his body, which is also Antonio's answer to Lin Xia. But Lin Xia's cultivation was already extremely hard, and Antonio's words seemed to be comforting Lin Xia, but it was more likely that he was comforting himself.
Lin Xia couldn't cultivate well, and it also inevitably flowed into the aristocratic circle, and almost everyone thought that the Xilin family was probably completely finished.
Lin Xia also had no choice about this, just lamented that fate made people.
Eight-year-old Lin Xia lay on the bed and sighed that fate made people, and through Tang's message, he ignited the hope of going home, but not being able to practice martial arts would inevitably add more difficulties to his way home.
Lin Xia turned out the Chinese version of the Sunflower Dictionary again, and looked at it repeatedly, the cover of the Sunflower Dictionary was somewhat different from the book cover of Charlemagne's Continent, the cover of the Sunflower Dictionary was made of cardboard and wrapped in exquisite fabric, while the covers of Charlemagne's books on the Continent were ordinary paper.
Lin Xia didn't notice it before, but at this time, his heart suddenly moved, Tang named this book Sunflower Treasure Book, obviously Tang is a gold fan, and the cover of this book is very similar to the style of "Forty-two Chapters Sutra" in "The Legend of Deer and Ding" that Lin Xia has seen, is it also like "Forty-two Chapters Sutra", there is a mezzanine on the cover.
Thinking of this, it didn't matter if it was or not, he found a knife and carefully cut the cover, Antonio treated the book left by Don as a treasure, Lin Xia didn't care.
Cut open the cover, and sure enough, there was a letter inside, which made Lin Xia despise Tang even more, can't he just put what he wanted to say in the book, anyway, no one recognized it, so he had to be an organ.
The content of the letter is not much, only two pieces of paper, both of which are in Huaxia square characters, and there are not many words on the first one, but the first sentence shocked Lin Xia, which read: "Hi, Lin Xia, how are you?" Tang was able to know my name more than two hundred years ago, and hurriedly looked down.
I'm sure you'll be surprised that I've once again successfully performed prophecy today, and I was supposed to sneak away this morning, so it seems that I can only delay it for another day.
You must be very curious about prophecy, right? Not only you, but I'm also curious, according to the records of Charlemagne's continent, I have cultivated to my current level, and occasionally I will see the future, I have seen it twice in total, and it is related to you.
[The first time I saw you come here, so I left you a message in the Sunflower Treasure Book, but I saw very little content, only that you also traveled from Huaxia to come here and became my Cong Cong Cong Cong grandson. 】
[The second time, that is, just now, what I saw was still very vague, I only knew that your name was Lin Xia, and you encountered the same problem as me that you couldn't cultivate, so I decided to leave you a method of cultivation, how about it, grandson, moved. 】
[When I first came to this world, I was very interested in fighting spirit and magic, and Paul's kid was also interesting enough, and found me a lot of martial arts and magic books, and the most famous martial artists and magicians guided me to practice. 】
Lin Xia said in his heart: "This Tang is too crazy to call the founding emperor Paul Alexander that kid." ”
