Chapter 4: Cultivating the Mind and Refining the Body

The next day, the morning birds chirped softly.

Ling Ming opened his eyes and saw a small pink figure dangling around, and shouted softly:

"Dreams!"

"Brother Ling Ming, are you awake, are you better? This is medicinal porridge, drink it quickly, so that you can have energy, you were too tired yesterday. Grandpa Nine said that if you are fine, you will go to him, and I don't know what the hell that old man is doing. ”

Meng'er puffed out her cheeks and looked unhappy, she was finally able to play with Brother Ling Ming, but she was disturbed by that old man again.

Ling Ming looked at Xiao Meng'er and looked at the morning light outside the window, as if some shackles in his heart had been opened, and the corners of his mouth slowly drew an arc.

......

"From today onwards, the old man will teach you the art of body refining. ”

On the flat ground in front of the hut, Meng Jiuzhen was explaining to Ling Ming

"Refining the body is divided into outer and internal, external refining is rigid, internal cultivation is soft, and rigidity and softness are combined, so that you can achieve something. But all cultivation is gradual, remember not to try to be quick for a while and the foundation is unstable, regret your life, Shen'er, I hope you can understand. ”

After Ling Ming heard this, his little head nodded, and said, "Ming'er, remember the teachings!"

"Well, okay! From now on, practice the basics first, first practice Zama steps, the time limit is four hours, and then after the practice, run around the Demon Wolf Mountain for fifty miles, remember not to be in a hurry, not to be opportunistic, otherwise it will be contrary to the original intention of the practice, you are so smart, you should know that it is powerful. That's it, I went first. Grandpa Nine said.

"Hmm!"

As if thinking of something again, Meng Jiu turned around and suddenly shouted to Ling Ming, "By the way, Ming'er, you must not leave the Demon Wolf Mountain for a mile, there are many beasts and monsters around this barren mountain and wild forest, once something happens, I don't know if I can get there in time." ”

Ling Ming nodded in understanding, Ma Bu, is this testing my mental nature? After a little thought, I learned the basic information of this refining body.

After all, half a year of learning is not a joke, horse steps are one of the basic skills before practicing martial arts, the so-called "practice boxing without practice, to the old one", which means that the empty learning of those boxing routines, without the actual gravity and endurance training of the whole body muscles, will eventually be reduced to flower boxing embroidered legs. The zama step can improve the strength of the leg muscles, but more importantly, it is a test of one's perseverance and endurance.

Shift your center of gravity down and gradually squat deeper..... Ling Ming's cultivation officially began.

Sweat fell from this pale and immature cheek, and the shirt had already been soaked. Ling Ming felt the position of the sun and knew that the four hours had arrived.

From the beginning of the sourness, to the soreness and numbness, to the numbness of the limbs today, it is very tolerable. Slowly moving his legs, his pale little face showed an unyielding will.

Meng'er, who was watching from a distance, was distressed, and was about to run to help Ling Ming, but was pulled by Mengjiu, Mengjiu looked at Xiao Meng'er and shook his head gently, signaling not to go.

Xiao Meng'er was a little puzzled, Grandpa Jiu looked at Ling Ming limping into the distance, Mengjiu said leisurely, "This is the path he chose by himself, if you go over, maybe you will hurt him."

"Hmph! Brother Ling Ming will definitely do it, if Brother Ling Ming has something, I will definitely pull out all of Grandpa Jiu's beards at that time. ”

Xiao Meng'er tore off Grandpa Jiu's hand, shook the two pigtails, and ran away with a small mouth.

"Ah!, this stinky boy, what did the old man teach Xiao Meng'er to be when he was away, no, this account must be recorded on the head of the stinky boy, and he has to be disciplined well. ”

Meng Jiu gritted his teeth, indignant in his heart.

......

"Ahh

Ling Ming instantly felt a chill. Could it be that he was sweating a lot and had a cold? Ling Ming thought out of breath at the moment. This Demon Wolf Mountain is a small part of the Baili Barren Mountain, famous for its large number of demon wolves, but in the past half a year, Ling Ming has not even seen a single wolf hair, Ling Ming already knows in his heart, it must be the ninth grandfather who expelled the demon wolf here by some method. This made him settle down and focus on running......

It was already dark in the west.

"Ninth Grandpa, why hasn't Brother Ling Ming come back yet. Xiao Meng'er asked anxiously.

Mengjiu gently touched Xiao Meng'er's head, "Don't worry! ”

"Whew, huh, is it almost there?" At this time, Ling Ming vaguely looked at the two figures, the sweat on Ling Ming's forehead had already blurred his eyes, his body was exhausted, and every step seemed to weigh as much as a thousand catties, and his hands hung down weakly.

And the little Meng'er on the side stopped doing it, and pulled Mengjiu's sleeve and said angrily:

"Ninth Grandpa, you are going to tire Brother Ling Ming, don't, I don't allow you to treat Brother Ling Ming like this. ”

As she spoke, Xiao Meng'er ran directly to Ling Ming and opened her two little hands, and the two big eyes on her pink little face stared straight at Meng Jiu, expressing her dissatisfaction.

Ling Ming didn't know why, when he saw this scene, the top of his nose suddenly became sour.

"Ahh

"Meng'er, thank you!" Ling Ming hugged Xiao Meng'er and said softly.

Xiao Meng'er turned around and hugged Ling Ming gently, her little face was flushed, and her pink mouth said softly:

"Brother Ling Ming, even if this world abandons you, at least you still have me... Me and Grandpa Nine. ”

Letting go of Xiao Meng'er's hand, Ling Ming stared at Xiao Meng'er and whispered:

"Meng'er, don't say that about Grandpa Jiu, after all, this is my own choice, I want to be strong, so I am very strong. ”

Turning his head to look at Mengjiu, who was a little wooden, Ling Ming's eyes were slightly sympathetic, and then he said to Xiao Meng'er kindly:

"Meng'er, Grandpa Mengjiu itself is not easy, in the future, you have to be kind to Grandpa Jiu, don't finish cutting your beard. ”

Xiao Meng'er nodded seriously.

"I, I... You..."Meng Jiu on the side just came back to his senses from the petrified state, this scene simply broke his perception of the world, is the old man unable to hold the knife, or you are floating. Are all children like this now?

"Stinky boy, I'll tell you, I'm not done with you, you see..."Meng Jiu pointed at Ling Ming and before he finished speaking, Ling Ming was paralyzed to the ground

"Grandpa Mengjiu!" Hearing these four words, it was like the summoning voice of the Nine Secluded Underworld, and Mengjiu trembled in fright. Looking at Xiao Meng'er's fierce eyes, Mengjiu thought that this black cauldron was decided, so he had to take back the words he was going to finish with grievances, this aunt and grandmother, I can't afford to provoke!

In desperation, Meng Jiu could only take out an emerald green bottle.

"Stinky boy, drink this, it'll be fine in a while. ”
