Chapter 168: Cultivation
It has been three days since I actually started studying with Master, and during these three days, I have been conditioning my body under the care of Aunt Qing.
Master arranged a large wooden barrel in my room, which would be filled with milky white liquid every day, and there would be a faint smell of grass, which Aunt Qing said was specially prepared to nourish my body, and I should soak it for at least eight hours a day.
At first, I was a little unaccustomed to it, but Aunt Qing said that everyone is a woman, and what else is there to be embarrassed about, it's a big deal that I don't want to see you take off your clothes, and I made a big red face.
However, the effect of bathing was obvious, and at the end of the first day, the water in the bucket became much more muddy, and by the third day, the color basically did not change.
As for my body, not only has my skin become much better, but I can also clearly feel that my body is full of vitality, and the feeling of fatigue or soreness that I used to feel at every turn is completely gone.
Aunt Qing said that it was because the old wounds accumulated in my body had been healed, and the toxins had been removed, and my body was as pure as a newborn baby, both in the meridians and organs.
In the past three days, Aunt Qing and I have also become familiar with each other, and through chatting, she knows all what happened to me, in addition to lamenting the impermanence of fate, she was not shocked by hearing what I said about the killing on the rivers and lakes, which made my admiration for her a little deeper.
Later, I learned that Aunt Qing was not an ordinary person, she was originally a girl from a famous family, because her first love died unexpectedly and she had no idea of finding a man again, and decided to spend this life alone, if it wasn't for my master to come to invite, she would not have come out to help take care of a strange girl.
Aunt Qing looks like she is only in her thirties, but her actual age is the same as my mother's, forty-one years old, but she is well maintained, and I can't tell it at all.
After I recuperated my body, Master began to formally teach me what he had learned all his life, of course, everything is gradual, there is no exercise that can make people ascend to heaven in one step, I still have to start from the most basic place.
On the first day, I was obsessed with cultivation, and I especially enjoyed the feeling of breathing and breathing, because my physique is special, and Master let me absorb not the aura of the world, but the yin qi that only ghosts and the underworld have.
I know this, I originally thought that yin qi was not a good thing for people, not only hurting the body, but also losing people's minds.
But Master told me that it was harmful to others, but it was different for me, because of my constitution.
And what I'm talking about is not yin, it's anger, which are two completely different breaths that exist in nature, and although they are always mixed together, the exercises he taught me will automatically distinguish what is yin and what is anger, so there will be no problems.
Under Master's guidance, I didn't leave the house for three months, and I stayed in the villa to practice, and of course I was not completely cut off from the outside world, but Master still allowed me to keep in touch with my friends and family in my spare time.
But he also told me that I should never talk to others about the content of my practice, so when everyone was curious, I could only make excuses to prevaricate, only saying that I had been particularly obsessed with cultivation recently, and that after a while, I would naturally go back to play with them when there was a small harvest.
What I didn't expect the most was that after we destroyed the voodoo conspiracy that time, Yun Lotian actually appeared in the Lin family manor, and also found Lin Yuanshan back, and rewarded him with a decent appearance, saying that he did a very good job this time, and it was worth learning from other Cloud Gate leaders.
At first, everyone was very confused, but later they all slowly figured it out, because of the defeat of the Voodoo Cult, Yun Lotian did not have the support of external forces, and his conspiracy was miscalculated, in order to maintain his position, he could only lower his posture to cater to Lin Yuanshan again, so as not to move his whole body and let himself fall to the point of passivity.
As for Yun Wan, because Yun Lotian said that she was arrested and thought about it, no one saw her again.
Now everyone has moved back to the Lin family manor, and life has returned to normal, but Lin Yuanshan knows that there is no winner in this matter, Yun Lotian has suffered a loss, and he also knows where his weaknesses are, so he has been very busy for a while, and he has accepted many new disciples and is working hard to expand his strength.
As the days passed, I didn't know what kind of height my strength had reached, but Master kept saying that he was very satisfied with my progress, and kept praising that he had accepted a good apprentice, so I felt very happy.
In the seventh month of the lunar calendar, my heart began to be a little chaotic, although the ancestral shrine in the village has been sealed, and Su Che is no longer there, I don't need to go to the vigil anymore, but I always feel faintly that there are some things that need to be done.
The closer I got to the seventh and a half months, the more panicked my heart became, and Aunt Qing also saw that I had no master, so she asked me what was wrong, and I had to tell her what I had promised.
After listening to this, Aunt Qing said that I can't make decisions for you in this matter, so let's go and talk to your master.
Now that the words have been said, I want to wait a few more days, anyway, it's my birthday, even if I don't go to the ancestral shrine vigil, I still have to meet my family and friends, if I don't go out again, I'm afraid those people will break in to find me.
But at this time, something suddenly happened in the villa.
That night, I was meditating cross-legged in my bedroom, but I heard the sound of someone walking in the courtyard, it was late at night, could it be Huber guarding the door?
But no, I've been living in for a few months, and Huber never walks around the yard in the middle of the night, is there something wrong?
I opened my eyes and was about to go downstairs to take a look, when I heard the door of the downstairs parlor open, and then the master said in a displeased tone, "What's the matter?" Is my home also something you can trespass? I said that I didn't allow you to see it, but I didn't allow it, and your courage is not small. ”
The more I listened, the more confused I became, what kind of person wanted to break into the villa, could it be Qian Enhao? This guy has made such jokes, he can't be that stupid, right?
Thinking of this, I decided to go and have a look, so I changed my clothes and went downstairs, and stopped at the door of the living room, the master inside already knew that I was coming, and after being silent for a moment inside, I still couldn't help but sigh and said Ginger Tea, why are you here?
I replied to him cautiously, saying that I heard movement during my meditation and wanted to see who had broken in, and if it was my naughty friend.
Master's tone was a little helpless, and he said Come in, this person is indeed your friend.
My heart suddenly lifted, who the hell is it, it's been a few days, can't you wait for me to go out and see you later?
He's not going to be hurt by Huber, is he? After I moved in for a long time, I realized that Hu Bo was not an ordinary person, although his skills were not as good as his master, but he was also the top master in the rivers and lakes, otherwise how could he keep such a large courtyard by himself?
I walked into the living room with apprehension, and I was stunned when I saw the person half-lying on the ground, the person who was crying and laughing at me turned out to be Su Che!
I hadn't seen him for more than three months, and I actually thought of him every night before I went to bed, and I had imagined countless times that he would suddenly appear next to me, but it was just a thought.
I never expected that so suddenly, he appeared in front of me, still with a blue nose and swollen face, obviously beaten by Huber, right?
And listening to what Master said earlier, he must have come to me a few times, and after being rejected, he would remember to break in.
I stood there in a daze and didn't know what to say, I glanced at the master for help, the expression on his face was complicated at this time, and he hesitated for a while before saying to me: "Jiang Cha, I am hiding from you, this person has come to you several times, but I guessed that he is the one who broke your heart, so he never let him in, you don't blame me, right?" ”
I shook my head and said Master was here for me to meditate and practice, how could I blame you?
The master nodded and said that it would be good, but today, this kid is not afraid of death and wants to break through, of course he is not your Huber's opponent, and he is also to blame for being beaten like this.
Su Che coughed a few times on the ground, and then said with the master's words: "I agree with the old man's statement, this is my own fault, I deserve to kill me, but I didn't kill me, let me see ginger tea, that is, I succeeded." ”
Master shook his head and said don't be complacent, you kid, if I don't want you to see her, I have countless ways to do it, but I think you are also persistent, so I gave you a chance, now that you have seen it, say everything you want to say, I respect the choice of ginger tea.
Master's last sentence was addressed to me, and he glanced at me, intentionally or unintentionally, obviously knowing what he was looking for me for, and I vaguely guessed it.
At this time, Aunt Qing also followed downstairs, stood next to me and looked at Su Che, turned her head and asked me, "This is the negative guy?" ”
I nodded silently, although I was already soft-hearted when I saw him like this, but I have to admit that since the Changbai Mountain side parted, we have only seen each other a few times, and each time he didn't say much, he never gave me a reasonable explanation.
Aunt Qing smiled when she saw this, and said No wonder you thought about it, this kid is indeed quite handsome.
I glanced at Aunt Qing with disgust, she covered her mouth and smiled: "Okay, I won't say it, you two young people say it, old man, why are you still standing?" Let's go? ”
Master is also looking for an opportunity to give himself a step, and he was relieved to hear Aunt Qing's words, and said You two talk, ginger tea, don't be afraid, he dares to bully you, I guarantee that he can't leave here.
Aunt Qing glared at the master as she walked out, and the two of them went out, and then closed the door.
There were only two of us left in the living room, and I was instantly surrounded by an awkward silence, and after a long time I couldn't help asking, "Did you come to me so that I could go back to the vigil?" ”
Su Che smiled bitterly, nodded and said, "Yes." ”
