Chapter 5: Enlightenment

It rained heavily all night and didn't stop until early in the morning.

As the morning sun rises, a faint mist fills the mountainsides of the Noni Wood Mountains, mingling with the murmuring of streams and the messy chirping of birds.

Whether it's Eznaby, Heather, or Kurapika, they are all types with full mobility, tents and waterproofing are all in place. The three of them were sitting by the fire, chatting while using the heat to bake the laundry they had soaked through last night.

"So, Kurapika, you want to have the power to be able to [fight alone]?"

"Yes, please tell me everything about Nian."

Izenaby flipped over the three branches of the tree with the horsemouth forked on it, and then touched his chin full of stubble:

"To put it simply, the energy that overflows from the body is called 'qi', and the ability to freely manipulate 'qi' is called 'mind'. [Entanglement], "Absolute", "Practice", and "Hair", all of which become the four major elements, collectively known as "Nian", are the practice of 'sublimating the mind and exercising the mind', in other words, the practice of strengthening the process of self-will. ”

"As human beings, no matter who they are, they have a lot of 'qi', but the vast majority of people will let it go. The technique of retaining this qi in the body is [Entanglement]. ”

"Entanglement ......" Kurapika looked thoughtfully at Heather who was sitting on the other side staring at the grilled fish: "Heather, he will also 'entangle'?" ”

"Heather is different from you, unlike most people, he is a natural telepath. Although it is not perfect, blocking the loss of 'qi' from his body is like an instinct to breathe for him. ”

Izenaby was stared at by Heather and had no choice but to hand him a skewer of grilled fish first: "Don't compare yourself to a little monster like Heather, you listen to me first." ”

"Yes, please continue."

"[Absolute] is to cut off the qi and eliminate the breath, which can eliminate the sense of existence like stealth from being detected by the enemy, and can also help you recover your energy. On the other hand, the technique of releasing qi beyond the normal level is [practice]"

"Finally, the free manipulation of the released qi is for [hair], and the above are the four major elements of [mind], which need to be practiced step by step."

Izenaby handed another skewer of grilled fish to Kurapika, picked up the last skewer himself, blew and took a small bite, the skin was slightly crispy but the flesh was tender: "I'm going to teach you, start with [wrapping] first. ”

"May I ask a question, Master?" Kurapika didn't eat the fish, staring at Izenaby with burning eyes.

"Well, just ask. Hiss...... It's hot! ”

"If you cultivate your mind, can any strong enemy be defeated?"

Looking at Kurapika's brown eyes, which were difficult to contain her emotions, Izenaby smiled slightly: "Do you want to ask [Can Nian kill?] Right? ”

"That's right."

"Yes." Izenaby's answer was crisp and clear: "Hunters are not a good man's profession, and it is inevitable to kill and fight for their hunting goals, so [Nian] is indispensable for professional hunters, and the rule of killing permission also exists for this purpose, you should understand when I say so, right?" Speaking ......"

Izenaby turned his head to look at Heather, who was munching on the grilled fish with relish, and sighed, "It's amazing to look at it a few more times, your glasses aren't 'mortal' anymore, Heather." ”

Heather, who had restored her pot lid bangs and black-rimmed glasses, sighed: "Really?" I don't know. It was a birthday present from my mom and I've been wearing it for many years. ”

"Having been contaminated by the qi of you, a person with natural ability to think, and being catalyzed by your thoughts of 'hiding your face' all the time, this pair of glasses can already be called a 'mindset', and the effect should be to help you hide your true face. Now, even if I use 'gaze' to look directly, I can't see through your true face, and this is the evidence. ”

"Really? Then let's call it [Superman's Invisibility Glasses]. ”

Heather ate the grilled fish clean, wiped her mouth, and then looked at her cheap master: "Do I also want to start learning from [entanglement] with Xiao Kuku?" ”

"Brother Heather, I've said it many times, please call me by my first name."

"Okay, little cool guy."

“…………”

"No, you two don't train the same way. There is one very important thing to do before you start studying. ”

Izenaby walked over to a huge half-human-tall stone and patted the surface of the stone gently: "Hmm...... Big enough, both of you come and sit on the rocks. ”

The two sat cross-legged on the stone as he commanded.

"Next, I'm going to send my qi into you. It's a bit rough, but it can pry your holes open. To put it simply, it is because the [fine pores] are closed that qi cannot flow freely in the body. ”

Izenaby rolled up the cuffs of his martial arts uniform, and an invisible aura began to condense on the surface of his body:

"As long as you scare the sleeping body, it can enter a state that is easy to cause [entanglement], it's very simple, right?"

Feeling the powerful aura coming from behind him, Kurapika wanted to say something, but in the end remained silent.

Suddenly, Heather asked, "Wait a minute, teacher, is the opening method of [Nian] so hasty?" Shouldn't there be that step-by-step type? ”

Izenabi nodded: "Indeed, the orthodox way is to rely on meditation and zazen and other methods to feel your [qi], and after you really feel the [qi] surrounding your body, the acupuncture points will open one after another. But there are two key points. ”

"The key point?" Kurapika couldn't help but ask.

"First, Heather's innate mindfulness is no longer suitable for this method, and he can only rely on forcibly opening the mind to open the sperm hole."

"What about the second key point?" Kurapika nodded, it was indeed a reason.

"The second key point is that I don't practice in the traditional way! That's how my master helped me force my recitation, and so did my master's master! ”

Izenaby said confidently: "You two boys talk a lot of nonsense, get ready, it's time to start!" ”

Master Cheap stood behind the two of them, his hands facing their backs in an open motion.

Even if you don't touch it, Kurapika can feel the strong heat and force pushing on the back, and it feels like an illusory swelling like scratching a boot.

"Attention!"

Drink!

Both palms slammed into the backs of the two, and Kurapika was shocked! The next moment, I only felt the heat burst out from the upper and lower parts of my body, and the clearly visible [qi] gushed out uncontrollably like the steam spewing out of the spout of a kettle.

"This ...... It's ......"

Kurapika is starting to feel soft in her body, is this starting to lose strength?

He gritted his teeth and looked at Izenaby, and found that the latter was looking next to him in a cold sweat, what was wrong?

In Izenaby's field of vision, the qi in Kurapika's body burst out instantly, which was expected, but something was not quite right on Heather's side.

Have you ever felt a hundred giant fireworks bundled together explode right under your nose?

The unimaginable [Qi] exploded in an instant, and both the quality and quantity far surpassed that of himself, a master of telekinesis who had been trained for more than 20 years!

Izenaby, who reacted immediately, wanted to open his mouth to instruct Heather to restrain [Qi] and achieve [Entanglement], but found that the terrifying Qi had subsided.

Like a river of silence, the thick [Qi] covered Heather's body, flowing slowly.

In just an instant, Heather perfectly controlled the qi and retracted it back into her body, as natural and simple as breathing.

Is this the one who is born with the ability to think?

…… Monster!

For some reason, Izenaby suddenly felt a trace of fear in his heart, did he release some terrible monster? If Heather is he...... No, if he really wants to be evil, it is also a problem of his own teacher's failure to teach. All you need to do is try your best to bring this hard-to-find genius on the right path!

Izenaby, whose face was covered in cold sweat, turned his attention to Kurapika and calmly opened his mouth to instruct:

"Can you see that? This is the Qi in your body, Kurapika. If you ignore it like this, the qi in your whole body will soon run out, and then I'm afraid you won't even be able to stand up. ”

"To ...... What to do......"

"While trying to keep [Qi], I stabilized my body."

Izenaby crossed his arms and said loudly, "Close your eyes and imagine your own figure, in any position." Think of Qi as blood circulating throughout the body, starting from the top of the head, passing through the right shoulder, hands, feet, and then to the left, and repeating the cycle. ”

"Then imagine that the air flow slows down, gradually stops, and floats around it, forming a wall."

After a few minutes, Kurapika was finally able to control [Qi].

"Yes, there are a lot of people who have fallen on this step."

Izenabimo rubbed his chin and looked at Kurapika standing in the clearing: "How's it going, how do you feel?" ”

"It's like wearing weightless clothing, wrapped in a viscous liquid."

Kurapika wonderfully opened her hands as if opening the door to a new world: "Is this [Nian]? Awesome......"

"Don't be intoxicated, wait until you can even sleep and retract [Qi] freely, and this can be regarded as a preliminary achievement of the cultivation standard of [Entanglement]."

Although Izenabi is stern, he is very optimistic about Kurapika's qualifications. He can learn to [wrap] in a few minutes, which is not something that ordinary people can do, and he really has the talent of a hunter.

"How's Heather?" Kurapika turned her head to look for it, only to find Heather sitting cross-legged on the stone, but she didn't see the latter's body condensed with a similar aura to herself, and couldn't help but be a little worried: "He won't fail, right?" ”

"No ......"

Izenaby scratched his head: "Heather has automatically entered the state of [absolute]. ”

"Absolutely!?"

Kurapika is not calm, doesn't it say that the practice of the four major lines should be gradual? Why did he be able to use it as soon as I learned to wrap it?

"I said, don't be like Heatherby, he's not like us."

Izenaby's face was serious: "You see, has his presence become very weak?" This is the essence hole and aura that he tightened and isolated all over his body, as long as he was in this state, he could even sneak into the dead corner behind him without knowing that the master of the telekinesis ability could sneak in. ”

At this time, Heather suddenly poured out a small amount of qi from her body to cover her whole body, just sat on the stone and stretched, and saw Kurapika at a glance: "Ahhh Soon! ”

"Uh...... Thanks for the compliment. Kurapika didn't know whether to complain or be polite.

Izenaby clapped his hands and made the two of them look at him: "You two have successfully opened your mind, the next thing to do is to try to familiarize yourself with and master [Entanglement] to a level where you can retract and release freely at any time." ”

"I will keep an eye on you all the time, and when we have completed this stage of cultivation, we will move on to the next step."
