Chapter Forty-Eight: The Ghost Gate, Part 1
The weak water has been carrying it on my body, but I didn't use it a few days ago because my body has not recovered.
Breaking the level, crossing the catastrophe, awakening, no matter which word it is, one thing can be seen.
That's how difficult it is.
If you don't pay attention to it, you may enter the place where you can't recover, because of this, you need to recuperate and use all your energy to deal with this matter, and if you drag your injured body, it is very likely that you can't get up in one breath, and you will die on the eve of the success of the pass, becoming "die before you get out of the school, and the hero will be full of tears".
Therefore, this matter must be cautious, and there can be no half-point mistake.
Fortunately, my current wound has scabbed, and after it falls off, it is basically fine, and Ma Yiao is still somewhat sure about this matter, he stood up and shouted to the old Liu Tou who was enjoying the cool not far away: "Master Liu, don't you have a recipe for consolidating the foundation of Peiyuan's 'Liuwei Yanggu Sticker'?" Trouble to write it out, I asked Brother Xiao Zhong to find a Chinese medicine store to buy medicinal materials. β
When the old Liu Tou heard this, he turned his head, cracked his mouth and smiled, revealing the gums of a few teeth, and said okay, no problem.
He got up to look for a pen and paper, and Ma Yiao said to Lao Li Tou: "Master Li, your old man's meridian and pulse hand is a must for Xuanzhen, Hou Zi will survive the catastrophe tomorrow, please help him loosen his muscles and bones, so that the flow of qi and blood can be smoother." β
He said it politely, and when the sleepy old Li Tou heard it, he also stood up, and after loosening his muscles, he patted his chest and said It's rare Brother Xiaoma, you still remember our craft, just take a look.
Ma Yiao also instructed Xiao Zhonghuang to go and get a prescription from Lao Liu Tou and grab the medicine according to the order.
Xiao Zhonghuang spread his hands and said I don't have any money.
I hurriedly flipped through my wallet, handed Xiao Zhonghuang the more than 1,000 I had taken out earlier, and then asked, "Is it enough, if it's not enough, I'll pick it up again." β
Xiao Zhonghuang took it with a smile and said, "Almost, I'll take it first, and I'll tell you when it's not enough." β
I breathed a sigh of relief when he said thisβI had spent a lot of money these days, and I didn't make any money, and my savings were almost overwhelmed.
Everyone is busy, I asked Ma Yiao what I am going to do, he shook his head, and said you don't need to, you don't meditate and practice today, sleep peacefully, and when you wake up tomorrow, all of us will do our best to help you get through the catastrophe.
I nodded gratefully and said yes, thank you.
Ma Yiao smiled and said politely.
That night, after I took a shower, I went to bed early, and when I woke up in the morning, I was still a little dazed, and Lao Li Tou had already come to my bedside.
He took a small bowl of soybean oil and asked me to take off my clothes, I was a little embarrassed, and the old man was annoyed, saying that you young people, spend a lot of money to go to the sauna massage and health care, swagger in front of the young lady, never twist, why are you shy in front of my old man? Don't worry, the old man, I have very good skills, and I will bring you all the dead flesh back to life.
I scolded him, took off my clothes in embarrassment, and explained to him, "I haven't been looking for ......."
Lao Li Tou has gone through vicissitudes, never concealed his words, grinned, and said Oh, dare I see the wrong thing, right, boy chicken?
I didn't dare to talk to this old man who was driving indiscriminately, so I lay on a plastic sheet and buried my head in silence.
The old man dipped his hands in soybean oil, rubbed them for a while, and then began to put them on my back.
His hands were rough and calloused, and they were very uncomfortable to the touch, but fortunately with the lubrication of the soybean oil, he didn't scratch his skin.
At the beginning, I was a little unaccustomed to an old man rubbing my body, but within two seconds, the power was transmitted from the other party's hands, and I couldn't bear it - he was always able to exert myself in the least powerful place, three or two blows, which made me numb and sore, and the pain was unbearable, and I couldn't help screaming, and wanted to resist, but threatened him: "Don't move, if you can't bear it, resist me, the effect will be half less, then don't blame me." β
As he said this, I did not dare to resist, and clenched my teeth on the pillow, treating myself as a dead mass.
Lao Li Tou was relatively soft at first, but later, he began to apply oil all over my body, and then treated me as a dough, kneading at will, I was stalemate at the beginning, to the sour and numb unbearable, and then to the end, like a piece of dead meat, let him knead, the whole body was weak, and I couldn't move at all.
It wasn't until this time that I understood why the so-called "pushing tendons into the pulse" was a must.
I even felt like every muscle in me was detaching, the pain was coming from all over my body, and the whole thing was falling apart and loosening.
This pain lasted for more than half an hour, and suddenly, I felt a warm current begin to flow back from my limbs, and the person began to gradually refresh.
Even Lao Li's head rubbed hard, but it was just tickling, like soaking in a hot spring, and the whole body was comfortable.
When it was over, I felt lost and wanted to add another hour.
However, seeing Lao Li's sweating profusely and almost prostration, I couldn't bear it, and I didn't dare to say more, so I could only give a thumbs up and sigh convincingly: "Your old hand is really unlearned." β
Lao Li looked at me and grinned, "Do you want to learn?" β
I said would you like to teach?
Lao Li Tou said Hey, the craftsmanship, you can't bring it into the coffin, right? If you really have the heart to learn, I'll teach you later.
I was full of emotion when I said this, and I wondered when this old man was so attentive to me, but before he finished speaking, he continued: "I think Brother Xiao Ma values you very much, he is kind-hearted, he has raised us for so many years, and I have nothing to repay, I have taught you, you will have nothing to do in the future, just press him more." β
Belch......
I thought people were looking at me differently, but I didn't expect it to teach me and give Ma Yiao more enjoyment.
This is really ......
After pushing the oil and loosening the bones, Ma Yiao came in and asked me if I could go, I nodded, said yes, he took the white porcelain bottle with weak water I handed over, and then said: "Go, go to the backyard, give you a morning of medicinal bath, you go in and soak for a while, it's very hot, but you have to endure it, there is no medicine when it's cold, you know?" β
I wrapped a bath towel around my waist and followed Ma Yiao to the backyard, where there was a large wooden barrel with a strange smell of Chinese medicine, and Xiao Zhong Huang next to him made an "OK" gesture.
I walked over to the barrel and saw that it was black and tumbling, as if it had just been boiled, and there was a simple heating device underneath the barrel.
I'm a little worried, saying this thing won't cook me, right?
Seeing my "looking forward and backward" appearance, Xiao Zhonghuang said disdainfully: "Don't worry, Nightcrawlers are also human, and we have no interest in your meat." β
I didn't want to look down on the children, so I took off the bath towel and rolled over into it.
As soon as my body was exposed to the water, I immediately screamed that my skin was red at onceβit was not ruddy and shiny, but it was burned alive.
This scorching temperature made my chest feel stuffy, and I wanted to jump out immediately, but Ma Yiao said: "Don't worry, with your physique, plus the soybean oil that Li Ye applied to your whole body just now, it won't hurt you, you meditate cross-legged to calm your mind, and after half an hour, when the medicinal power is absorbed, I will add weak water to you, so that it will not corrode your meridians at this time, but with the help of medicinal power, it will open up for you in one fell swoop." β
When I heard this, I could only endure it, but this way of boiling frogs in warm water was far more difficult than Li Ye's massage just now, I meditated cross-legged and ran "Nine Xuanlu", but I always couldn't calm down.
I always had the illusion that I was going to be cooked in a few moments.
Waiting like this, living like a year, I don't know how long it took, until Ma Yiao's voice came from my ears: "It's okay, I've added weak water, you quickly urge Jiuxuanlu, look at the meridians, follow the strength of the weak water, and open up the joints, do you know?" β
These words were like heaven to me, and I nodded wildly at the moment, and then Ma Yiao reached out and uncorked the bottle, and the weak water fell as if it were nothing.
This water is very light and cold, and the contact with the hot potion, actually stopped the tumbling momentum, and even formed a frost on the surface of the potion, I immediately felt a cold meaning, pouring in from all the pores of the body, and going in together, and then the spring points in both feet, Shao Chong and Shao Ze of the hands, plus the forehead Yintang, the back of the head Baihui, so that the six acupoints together have a stream of breath pouring in, light and agile, as flexible as a mouse.
I immediately used the Nine Xuanlu Mental Method, tried to restrain it, and then controlled this breath and walked towards the meridians of my cultivation.
The breath is light, but there is an invincible momentum, and everywhere it passes, there is no obstacle that can be resisted, and all of them expand, like a stream becoming a river, and it is several times wider.
The process was undoubtedly painful, my whole body was tense, and blood even appeared from my skin.
I was like a balloon that had been blown up, about to burst.
Fortunately, there is the power of the medicine to neutralize, so that I will not explode and die, and I don't know how long it took, I felt the breath in my heart converged, the dantian accumulated, constantly rotating, at a certain moment, but it was like an explosion, boom, I finally couldn't help the pain, screamed, and passed out as soon as my eyes were dark.
When I woke up, I found myself lying in bed, full of energy and energy, as if I could fight a tiger when I got up.
Ma Yiao was guarding next to me, and when he saw me wake up, he smiled and said, "Congratulations, the first level has passed, and it is conservatively estimated that you have two more years to live." β
It's a strange thing to say, but it's great news for me.
Then he said to me: "You have a good rest today, don't think too much, and wait for tomorrow morning, we will rush to Zhongying Street in Pengcheng." β
I was stunned, I said, what are you doing in Chung Ying Street?
The corners of Ma Yiao's mouth twitched, and he sneered: "Looking for the old crooked, that guy owes me something, I have to find him back." β
