Volume 2 The Battle of the Yellow Turban Chapter 55 The Book of Green Capsules
Ling Yan returned to the General's Mansion and went straight back to his room, then closed the door tightly.
Ling Yan lay on the bed, thinking about Hua Tuo's letter, and felt sad in his heart, but he also knew that Hua Tuo didn't want to see him like this.
Ling Yan calmed down his emotions, sat up cross-legged, and cultivated his internal qi for a while. Only when he cultivates his internal qi can he have no distracting thoughts and think about nothing.
Sensing the powerful internal qi in his body again, Ling Yan suddenly thought of the book Hua Tuo gave him, so he quickly opened his eyes and took the book.
Ling Yan gently stroked the book cover. The book cover is very old, and it also proves that it is truly condensed with Hua Tuo's hard work.
Ling Yan opened this secret book and turned a few pages, which were full of lines of ancient texts, and occasionally a simple illustration.
Ling Yan loves the Three Kingdoms, and Aiwu and Wudi also have some research on ancient texts, so it is not difficult for him to read these words.
Ling Yan found that there were two main parts of this book: cultivating internal qi and healing internal qi.
The first few pages are all about some general cultivation perceptions and an introduction to the circumstances under which Hua Tuo came into contact with and understood internal qi, as well as some feelings about the first time that internal qi can be used to heal injuries.
After reading these pages, Ling Yan had a general understanding of Hua Tuo's previous experience. He imagined that Hua Tuo was practicing diligently and recording his experience, and he couldn't help but feel a lot of feelings in his heart.
In the next few pages, we enter the theme of cultivation, and in this part, the illustrations begin to increase, and they all draw illustrations of the sitting posture of the person, the position of the hands, and the breath in the body. And there are annotations on the side.
Ling Yan looked at it seriously and found that the cultivation methods written in this book were basically the same as his original cultivation methods, but cultivating this kind of internal qi did not need the help of strange stones, nor did it need to swing his fists from time to time to train his strength or anything, he just needed to calmly feel the direction of the internal qi in his body, strive to control this internal qi, and then forcibly "compress" them to make room for new internal qi to be generated in his body.
Ling Yan understood the meaning of the book, but he felt that it was indeed not easy to do this, because he tried to control this internal qi, but that internal qi was not controlled at all.
"It seems that we still have to work hard to cultivate." Ling Yan thought.
After Ling Yan quickly read this part, he moved on to the "healing" part.
The healing part is much more complicated than the previous cultivation part, and the illustrations are twice as many as the previous ones.
Although Ling Yan could read the ancient texts, he couldn't understand many of the professional terms in the book, and the illustrations were quite complicated.
Ling Yan didn't know why he turned to the last page, it might be an unconscious action, but after reading the content of the last page, Ling Yan was slightly taken aback.
The content of the last page was not many words, and Ling Yan understood it. I saw that it read:
Level 1 of internal qi: quick healing. It can treat superficial injuries without defense. A small amount of internal qi in the body is gathered in the palm of a palm, and it is quickly pushed to the injured (affected) area to heal the wound with flow and qi. It is necessary to heal the wounds at the beginning.
Internal Qi Level 2: Refining. It can treat bruises, but there is no prevention. The internal qi gathers less in the palm of the hand, pushes it to the injured (affected) area, and slowly enters until the stasis disappears. It is necessary to heal the wounds at the beginning.
Level 3 of Internal Qi: Return to life. It can treat facial injuries and prevent less. The internal qi flows in the body to the facial wound, and is determined by internal force. It is necessary to know the method of internal qi cultivation.
Internal Qi Level 4: Quaternary. It can heal injuries and prevent more. The internal qi flows in the body to the injured (affected) area, and the circulation does not stop, and it is controlled by internal force. Need to know how to repair quickly.
Internal Qi Level 5: Heavenly Blood. It can heal injuries and prevent more. The internal qi circulates in the body, there must be no space, no stopping, luck with strength, luck with qi. It needs to be born at the same time as cultivation.
Level 6 of Internal Qi: Wind Healing. It can be healed and should be prevented. With the wind as the force, speed around the body, or return to the sky.
There is also a line of words on the left: I try to deal with it, the first four levels have been decided, the latter level is the beginning of the response, and the last two levels, I don't know.
Finally, there are six words: or called "Green Capsule Book".
After reading it, Ling Yan finally understood something roughly: there is a level of healing internal qi, and Hua Tuo divided it into six levels. Although Ling Yan didn't know what the sixth-level treatable injuries were, he could think of it, the healing effect was definitely better than the first-level effect, and the sixth-level was of course the strongest; From Hua Tuo's self-report, it can be seen that he should have cultivated to the fourth level and was preparing to cultivate the fifth level, and since he had not reached the sixth level, the description of the sixth level was very general.
Especially when he saw the last six words, Ling Yan couldn't help but be taken aback: it turned out that this book was the "Green Capsule Book"! It turns out that its real name is called "The Law of Gathering Vitality"!
Ling Yan closed the book and pondered in his heart: With the internal qi in my body now, what level should I have reached? If Grandpa had passed on all his internal qi to me, wouldn't I have also reached the fourth level?
Ling Yan turned the book to the last page again, and saw that the cultivation methods that must be learned were noted at the end of each level, and no matter how difficult or simple these cultivation methods were, Ling Yan felt that none of them he knew.
"In that case, wouldn't I not even reach the first level now?" Ling Yan thought dejectedly.
However, Ling Yan remembered that he had been slashed in the back by Pan Feng's axe before, but the wound healed quickly, so he still has a level!
Ling Yan compared the grades in the book, and felt that being cut by an axe should be regarded as a "facial injury" or a "beneficial injury", so to speak, he had at least reached the level of the third level......
The more Ling Yan thought about it, the more confused his brain became, so he simply closed the book and stopped thinking about this problem.
"Anyway, when I was injured, the internal qi did help me heal, and it is enough to be sure of this for the time being." Ling Yan secretly wondered.
At this time, someone knocked on the door: "General Yan." ”
"Oh, General Kuai, come in." Ling Yan could hear Kuai Liang's voice.
Kuai Liang pushed the door in and handed Ling Yan a letter: "General Yan, a secret letter sent by General Lu." ”
Ling Yan's face sank, and he took the letter and opened it.
The letter said: General Yan, Hua Tuo said goodbye without saying goodbye, and ordered you to send someone to look for it, be sure to find it.
Ling Yan tossed the letter aside.
Kuai Liang was stunned: "General Yan, what did the letter say?" ”
Ling Yan said angrily: "General Lu asked me to go to General Hua Tuo, and he said that General Hua Tuo has already left Suke City. ”
Kuai Liang pondered for a moment and said, "Does General Lu want to learn General Hua Tuo's healing technique?" ”
Ling Yan nodded and said in a deep voice, "Yes...... I've already sent me three secret letters today. ”
Kuai Liang said: "That...... Is General Yan going to send someone to find General Hua Tuo? ”
"No," Ling Yan said categorically, "Since General Hua Tuo doesn't want to be in Suke City, what's the use of finding it?" ”
Kuai Liang muttered: "That's true, but this is General Lu's military order." ”
"Outside the general, the military order is not subject to it." Ling Yan said coldly, "Besides, where can I find it?" ”
Kuai Liang was silent.
Ling Yan felt that Kuai Liang seemed to have something on his mind, so he asked, "General Kuai, do you have anything to say to me?" ”
Kuai Liang smiled: "General Yan is really powerful. ”
"General Kuai, just say what you want to say."
Kuai Liang nodded, and then sighed softly: "General Yan, there is a way: for a general, but he obeys orders, his sharpness is exposed, and disaster is coming." ”
Ling Yan frowned: "General Kuai means ......"
Kuai Liang arched his hand and said: "With all due respect, if General Yan always disobeys his orders, he will put himself in danger. ”
"How?" Ling Yan asked.
Kuai Liang said slowly: "General Yan's compassion for the people is not a good thing, but the tax is decided by General Ling and General Lu, although General Yan is respected by General Ling as a guest, but if the general does not inform General Ling in advance, I am afraid that after General Ling learns about this matter in the future, he will condemn the general." ”
"I'll explain it to General Ling later." Ling Yan said.
Kuai Liang said: "Even so, it may be contrary to common sense to arbitrarily change what the lord has decided. When General Ling found out, he would be unhappy. ”
Ling Yan thought for a moment and said, "I also know that this is not in accordance with the rules, but does General Kuai think that the previous tax is reasonable?" ”
Kuai Liang said: "It is indeed unfair to the people to pay taxes and miscellaneous taxes, but there are two sides to the matter, there are disadvantages and advantages, and the advantage is to increase the number of military salaries, grain and grass, which is greatly beneficial to the army's heart." ”
"Yes, this can indeed make the army stronger," Ling Yan said in an aggravated tone, "But this kind of tax is overwhelming for the people...... Presumably General Kuai also knew that at the beginning of General Ling's occupation of the city, there was a rebellion among the people, right? ”
"yes, I know."
Ling Yan frowned and said, "If the harsh taxes continue to be implemented, who knows if the people will rebel again?" ”
Kuai Liang said calmly: "What General Yan said is very true. ”
Ling Yan couldn't tell if Kuai Liang really agreed with his point of view, so he asked, "General Kuai, what do you think, you might as well say it clearly." ”
Kuai Liang arched his hand and said: "The general understands the righteousness, which is really a blessing for the people, but no one will change what General Ling and General Lu have decided. ”
"Really?" Ling Yan smiled, "General Kuai, what do you think of General Lu?" ”
Kuai Liang was stunned for a moment: "The general means ......"
"I mean, what do you think of General Lu?"
Kuai Liang was silent.
Ling Yan knew that Kuai Liang didn't dare to comment on Lu Tiecheng casually, so he didn't want to embarrass him anymore, so he smiled and said, "General Kuai doesn't need to be nervous, I'm just joking." ”
Kuailiang gave up.
"General Kuai, it's not too early, go back and rest," Ling Yan said, "I will take the advice that General Kuai said to heart." ”
"Okay, Naliang will retire first." After saying that, Kuai Liang was about to retreat.
Ling Yan remembered something, so he stopped Kuai Liang again: "Oh, by the way, please ask General Kuai to find General You, I have something to discuss with him." ”
"Yes." Kuai Liang exited the room.
Ling Yan exhaled. Only then did he feel that the question just now was a little too reckless, he didn't know much about Kuai Liang, although Kuai Liang was resourceful, but he didn't know how to behave. In Ling Yan's impression, Kuai Liang in the novel is a loyal minister with good character, but in the real Three Kingdoms, Ling Yan can't be sure.
After a while, You Heng walked in.
"Big brother, come quickly." Ling Yan happily greeted You Heng, in his opinion, at least for the time being, You Heng was the person he could trust the most.
"Brother Xian, what is the matter with me?" You Heng walked over to Ling Yan's side.
Ling Yan handed Hua Tuo's book to You Heng: "Brother You, there are some things I don't understand here, can you explain them to me?" ”
"What book is this?" You Heng took the book and looked at the cover, and was stunned for a moment, "The book of internal qi cultivation?" ”
"Hmm!" Ling Yan nodded, motioned for You Heng to sit down, and then said in a low voice, "Brother You, General Hua has left Suke City. ”
"Well, General Lu has told me." You Heng opened the book.
Ling Yan's voice lowered: "Grandpa passed on all the internal qi in his body to me before I left Suke City. ”
You Heng was startled and looked at Ling Yan: "Really? ”
Ling Yan nodded.
"Then this book ......" You Heng glanced at the book, then looked at Ling Yan again, "It was also given to you by General Hua?" ”
Ling Yan nodded again: "Grandpa said that this book is all the essentials for cultivating and healing internal qi. ”
You Heng still didn't believe it: "Brother Xian, if General Hua passed on all the internal qi in his body to you, then I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it, right?" ”
Ling Yan stretched out his arm: "Brother You, you can feel it and find out." ”
"Okay." You Heng grabbed Ling Yan's arm and closed his eyes.
After a while, You Heng opened his eyes again, and his eyes were full of incredulity: "Virtuous brother! You really have an extremely powerful internal qi in your body! To put it this way...... General Hua's internal qi has really been passed on to you! ”
"Well," Ling Yan nodded, "However, I can't control this internal qi at all right now. ”
You Heng didn't care, his eyes were fixed on the book, and his eyes radiated excitement: "Great! ”
Ling Yan was stunned: "Brother You, what's so good?" ”
