In the star city in the middle of summer, the whole city is like a huge steamer, and the heat is suffocating.

Liu Xing, male, 23 years old, is a game concept artist at Pole Games.

At this moment, he was riding an electric car in the middle of the road anxiously waiting for the green light, although it was evening, the cement road was still hot and rolling, stabbing his feet hot and painful, only two or three pedestrians on the zebra crossing the road against the scorching sun, in order to find the next shade.

"Ahh

Suddenly, an old man was planted on the zebra crossing, right in front of Liu Xing.

He hesitated for a moment, saw that there were many cameras around, and felt a lot more relieved, quickly pulled over the electric car, and then ran to the old man and said:

"Uncle, how are you?"

Liu Xing's first reaction was that the old man might have suffered from heat stroke.

"Medicine, medicine!"

The old man's face was pale, he had difficulty breathing, and one hand was clasped to his heart.

"It can't be a heart attack!"

Liu Xing hurriedly looked for medicine in the old man's pocket, and really found a bottle of fast-acting heart-saving pills in his jacket pocket. Hurriedly poured out two pieces and stuffed them into the old man's mouth. I found the kettle that had fallen not far away, unscrewed the lid, and slowly poured the water into the old man's mouth.

Fortunately, the old man was still a little conscious, so he swallowed the medicine with water.

After Liu Xing saw that the old man's breathing was a little calmer, he carefully helped him to the bench on the side of the road, now there is at least 40 degrees on the road, and normal people will suffer from heat stroke when lying on the ground.

"Thank you, lad."

After about two or three minutes, the old man slowly returned to normal, and his speech became much sharper.

"It's nothing, it's a gesture, if you want nothing to do, then I'll go first." Liu Xing looked at the old man whose face had returned to normal and said. There is no danger that this heart attack will not occur.

"Wait, young man, why don't you go? I haven't repaid the life-saving grace yet! The old man grabbed Liu Xing's wrist.

Liu Xing felt a very faint air flow enter his body, but he didn't care. Said:

"Hey, help others, be happy!" Liu Xing said with a smile on his face. He secretly said in his heart: If he is not falsely accused, he will be Amitabha.

"Young man, I see that you have good qualifications, do you want to learn the skills of cultivating immortals from me?" The old man calmed down and said.

"Cultivating immortals? Believe in you......" Liu Xinggang wanted to say: Believe you are a ghost, you bad old man is so ruthless, but when he saw the white-haired old man, he still swallowed the words on his lips alive.

"Yes, boy, are you interested in learning? As long as you worship me as a teacher, I will pass on the Liu family's Taoism to you? The old man looked at Liu Xing with some expectation. He had secretly tested Liu Xing just now and found that he actually had a spiritual root, which was a rare thing.

"This, uh, okay, the master is above, please bow to the apprentice." Liu Xing groaned for a moment, he was afraid that his refusal would cause the old man to be excited and induce heart disease, and then the matter would be a big deal. Besides, it's nothing to worship a teacher, the elders are teachers. There is no one to lose.

Liu Xing got up and learned what he looked like in a martial arts drama, and bowed to the old man, which was regarded as a bow to the master.

"Haha, I can't imagine that I, Liu, can still find an inheritor in my seventy years, happy! I forgot to ask the apprentice what your name is. The old man said in a good mood.

"Liu Xing."

"Haha, your surname is also Liu, it turns out that we are still our own family, providence! I will give you a meeting gift for the teacher. The old man laughed happily, carefully took out a beautiful cloth bag from his arms, and handed it to Liu Xing cautiously.

"Thank you, master, for the reward." Liu Xing took it with both hands and casually placed it on the bench beside him.

"There are cultivation exercises of this sect in this bag, you have to practice diligently, don't be lazy." The old man turned pale and said seriously.

"Hmm." Liu Xing nodded perfunctorily.

"Okay, the teacher is gone, you can cultivate by yourself." After speaking, the old man got up and left.

"Master, where do you live? Leave a phone call. Liu Xing hurriedly asked, there are millions of people in this Star City, if you don't leave a contact information, it will be difficult to find people in the future.

"Haha, my wish for the teacher has been fulfilled, I will leave this city to find my daughter from other places, and I will live for a long time, so why don't we meet again in the future." The old man crossed the road and quickly disappeared into the crowd.

"Just gone?" Liu Xing was confused, looked at the cloth bag on the bench in a daze, opened the cloth bag and saw that there was a booklet, a rectangular jade plate, and an old object in the shape of a brass seal.

Liu Xing picked up the booklet, which was still a handwritten book in traditional Chinese characters, with only a dozen pages of thin paper, and the cover was written in three vigorous and powerful characters of "Cultivating Heaven".

"The tone is not small, still cultivating the sky? It is probably based on the inspiration of Nuwa to mend the sky. Liu Xing shook his head and smiled and put the booklet down.

He continued to pick up the jade plate and looked at it, this jade plate is not bad, it should be an ancient jade, Liu Xing's face was a little surprised, this jade card alone is worth a lot of money! .

Carefully put away the jade plaque and continued to pick up one last object: a brass stamp. The tentacles of the seal are cold, you must know that it is the height of summer, and the outside temperature is almost 40 degrees, which alone knows that this thing is extraordinary. There was a pattern engraved under the seal, and Liu Xing looked at it for a while, but he didn't recognize what the word was.

"These things are worth some money, too. Today is a blessing, good people have good rewards! Liu Xing grinned, put the cloth bag in the trunk of the electric car, and continued to rush home.

At the foot of Yuele Mountain in Star City.

Liu Xing rode an electric car slowly through a two-meter-wide alley, and came to a small courtyard in seven turns.

"Pig-headed, I'm back! Open the door! Liu Xing roared.

As soon as the words fell, the iron door opened automatically.

This is Liu Xing's home, an old courtyard house, covering an area of more than 300 square meters, which has a two-story building, 2 bungalows, wells, vegetable plots, and there is no shortage of water. In the city, such small courtyards are rare.

"How many times have you said it, it's called Brother Qiang!" A sweaty fat man walked out of a studio, his name was Zhuge Qiang, and he was Liu Xing's good friend, Tie Buddy.

Zhuge Qiang is an orphan who has lived in Liu Xing's house since high school. Study and go to college with Liu Xing. It's just that after graduation, Liu Xing chose to go to work, but Zhuge Qiang stayed at home to make inventions.

"I think it's more appropriate to call it a pig's head. Did you come up with anything new today? Liu Xing parked the electric car in the canopy, and did not forget to take out the cloth bag of the tail box.

"It's not finished yet, I'll show you when it's finished." Zhuge Qiangshen said mysteriously.

Liu Xing didn't say anything, put the cloth bag on the stone table in the courtyard, walked to the well, pressed half a bucket of well water with a water press, and washed his face.

"Liu Xing! You're back, just in time for dinner. I saw a beautiful girl with a ponytail jump out of the door and say, her name is Hu Die, a sophomore in medical school, a new tenant, I heard her say that she wanted to work and study in the summer, so she rented a house to find a job.

"Or is our family Hu Die virtuous and has learned to cook?" Liu Xing wiped his face clean and walked into the kitchen to move vegetables.

"Hmph, people have always been beautiful girls in the new era who can go to the hall and the kitchen." Hu Die grimaced and took out the dishes and chopsticks.

"Then I'm going to try Hu Die's cooking skills!" Zhuge Qiang washed his face casually, picked up chopsticks and ate vegetables.

"Hey, that's really possible! It's delicious. Zhuge Qiang took a bite and said.

"Of course, I have been learning Dan refining medicine with my master since I was a child, and I have mastered the fire very accurately." Hu Die said arrogantly.

"Well, it's okay, by the way, Hu Die, how are you looking for a job?" Liu Xing asked.

"It's almost, I'm going to work tomorrow, at a nearby community hospital." Hu Die said indifferently.

"The community hospital is good! I'm going to get a drink and celebrate Hu Die! Liu Xing got up and took out a bottle of Coke from the refrigerator. Pour it for everyone.

"Thank you!" Hu Die picked up the Coke and had a toast with Liu Xing.

After dinner, Liu Xing went upstairs to rest, looked at the computer, felt bored, saw the cloth bag by the desk, and thought of the strange booklet.

"It's still a traditional Chinese calligraphy. The person who reads this writing is not simple, vigorous and powerful, the dragon flies and the phoenix dances, but he can't understand what is written. Fortunately, my brother has his own artifact to crack. Liu Xing picked up his mobile phone and took a picture of the booklet, opened a software in his mobile phone, and converted all traditional Chinese characters into simplified Chinese characters.

"Cultivating Heaven"

Liu Xing looked curiously, this was an exercise for cultivating the true qi. It is mainly about how to sense the aura of heaven and earth, absorb the aura of heaven and earth, and then transport it to the dantian through the eight veins of the Qi Sutra to store the qi training method.

"It doesn't look difficult!" Liu Xing is a game original artist, who has drawn a lot of pictures of the eight meridians of the human body, and still knows a lot about those acupuncture points and meridians.

Liu Xing followed the text descriptions and the annotated character pictures he painted, and meditated and practiced according to the gourd painting scoop. At first, he felt a little twisted, his breathing became slower and slower, and the whole person entered an ethereal realm, he felt that there were some subtle white points of light around him slowly approaching him, and then fell on his body, and there was a sudden warmth on the surface of his body, which was different from the warmth in the weather, it was spiritual warmth, and after these small white points of light entered the meridians, he slowly ran into the dantian in accordance with the exercises of "Cultivating Heaven".

The dantian was originally pitch black and empty, and some tiny little white dots slowly appeared.

In the middle of the night, the night sky, which was originally sparsely moonlit, suddenly floated a lot of gray-white clouds from the far sky.

Thundered! There was a loud bang in the sky, it was raining!

Raindrops "crackled" against the glass windows. Countless large and small droplets of water immediately gathered on the window pane facing outward, but the rain was a little different from the usual rain, more like diluted milk.

When the trees outside met the white rain, they were like corn thrown into a pan of oil, and they grew wildly.

All the great changes are quietly changing in the middle of the night, mysterious and powerful.
