Chapter 2: The Iron Vein

"Yo, I'm back from shopping with my little lover." As soon as Lin Liang entered the door, the old man's voice came out of the house.

Throwing the things he was carrying at the old man, Lin Liang said with an unnatural face, "I don't have any little lovers, I'm just good friends with Caijuan."

"Cut, the dead duck has a hard mouth", seeing Lin Liang's flushed face, the old man knew that it was almost over, and he gave up the idea of continuing to tease this kid at the moment.

After being silent for a long time, Lin Liang suddenly remembered the thing he had been looking forward to for a long time—cultivation. At that moment, he looked at the old man expectantly and said, "I said, old man, you have been drinking this wine for so long, you should teach me to cultivate."

"Cultivation, when will I ...... Huh!" The old man was about to pretend to be crazy and stupid, but he suddenly found the gourd head in Lin Liang's hand. At that moment, his breathing couldn't help but become short, "Lin boy, where did you get this gourd head?"

However, Lin Liang didn't listen to what the old man said behind him, only heard that the old man wanted to repay the debt again, and couldn't help but scold, "Stinky old man, you have been in my house for so many years, eating and drinking mine, and you still want to repay the debt for what you have said, let me tell you, if it weren't for me, you would still be floating in the river......!"

Before Lin Liang's words were finished, Xia Ran stopped, only to see the old man's eyes red, and he grabbed Lin Liang's shoulders with both hands and roared, "Where did you get this gourd head?"

"It hurts, it hurts, stinky old man, are you crazy?" Lin Liang was originally only a twelve-year-old boy, and he had never cultivated, and he screamed in pain as soon as he was caught by the old man.

"I ask you where you got this!" the old man asked, ignoring it, and the strength of his hands began to gradually increase.

"Ah!" Lin Liang was in pain, and hurriedly said, "Tan Laosi bought it."

The old man let go of his hands, Lin Liang fell to the ground in an instant, and thought in his heart, "Damn, it seems that Tan Laosi has been pitted, I am really drunk", and he kept rubbing the painful place with his hands.

"Providence! Is it really providence? I have been looking for something that I haven't found for decades, and I actually sent it to the door like this?" the old man muttered to himself, and suddenly turned his head to look at Lin Liang, who was constantly rubbing the place where he was scratched.

Seeing the old man's opinion, Lin Liang rolled his eyes and exclaimed angrily, "It's really from Tan Laosi, he found a treasure in the Tianqi Mountain Range, and the human-level exercises and combat skills have found a good buyer, and the remaining useless gourd head is thrown to me."

Seeing the latter's depressed expression, the old man also knew that he had indeed gone too far this time, and smiled at Lin Liang embarrassedly at the moment, "I'm sorry, Lin boy, didn't I drink too much, old man, hehe."

"Your sister, the ghost believes you" Lin Liang said in his heart. Suddenly, he realized that this was a good opportunity, and smiled at the old man shyly.

Seeing this smile The old man's instinctive body was shocked, and the old man was familiar with Lin Liang in the past two years, knowing that the latter's personality was not to suffer a loss, so he waved his hand in desperation and said: "I know what you mean, don't worry, I will teach you to cultivate when you are injured."

"Really, this time you have to talk about it," Lin Liang asked with a look of disbelief. As he spoke, he pulled the wound again, and he couldn't help but grin in pain.

Seeing Lin Liang's look of disbelief, the old man couldn't help but blush, and said secretly, "There was no way before, but now God has sent this thing, it's absolutely no problem."

The next day, in the woods outside the town.

"Hey, old man, didn't you teach me to cultivate, why did you bring me here?" Lin Liang exclaimed a little impatiently. I thought that cultivation should go to a mysterious place no matter what, but I was brought here.

glanced at the impatient Lin Liang, but the old man replied unhurriedly: "You'll know what I'm doing here after a while."

Cut! Pretend to be mysterious!

"Okay, let's tell you some basic knowledge of cultivation before cultivating. Seeing that Lin Liang was still depressed, the old man said helplessly.

"Boy Lin, you have to listen well!" the old man said slowly.

"The so-called cultivation refers to the inhalation of the aura of heaven and earth into the body, so as to strengthen the physical body and assimilate the aura of heaven and earth into the body and turn it into one's own power. People who cultivate in this way are called martial artists. And the powerful warrior uses his own spiritual power to urge the power, and it is not a problem to turn over the mountains and the sea. ”

Hearing the old man's words, Lin Liang's eyes widened, although he often talked to those mercenaries, he didn't know about them. I saw him looking at the old man expectantly.

When the old man saw him, he immediately smiled bitterly, "I know what you want to ask, you want to know why you can't cultivate, right?"

Lin Liang nodded, the longing in his eyes deepened.

The old man took a deep breath and continued, "If a normal person wants to cultivate, he needs to dredge the meridians first. Everyone is blocked as soon as they are born with the eight meridians, but the degree is different, and some can be cleared with one rush. Those who have broken through the meridians have reached the first realm of cultivation—the Spiritual Quenching Realm. ”

"Generally, normal people start to rush for the first time at the age of four or five, because at that time the human body is about to grow, and it is the easiest to rush to the pulse, and ordinary people can basically rush open a pulse, but in this life, it will stop at the spirit quenching realm, and the later realm is not to think about it. ”

"And the more talented people can rush away, then his path will go farther. If you can break through all the eight veins of the Strange Meridian at once, then you may even reach the legendary Emperor Realm. Saying this, the old man couldn't help but show a hint of envy, after all, he had only rushed through the five veins for the first time.

"What about me, what about me?" Hearing this, Lin Liang asked impatiently.

"Lin boy, your situation is very special." The old man pondered for a long time, and then said, "Generally, people's meridians are blocked, and at most they are full, and it is difficult to get through. ”

"Could it be that my meridians are also stuffed?" Lin Liang asked anxiously.

"No, it's worse than stuffing, your eight veins are tough but hard as a rock and unshakable, this is the legendary iron vein. There is still a glimmer of hope if it is stuffed, but the iron vein has never heard of anyone passing through." The old man finally told the truth.

Hearing that Lin Liang was struck by lightning, he couldn't help muttering: "No wonder everyone looks at me with a faint trace of pity, no wonder I haven't been able to cultivate for so many years." Hehe, Tie Vein, even if you don't have a father or a mother, do you even have to take away your cultivation?" Lin Liang was only twelve years old after all, and he couldn't help but cry when he heard the truth of the matter.

Suddenly, Lin Liang thought of something, raised his head in surprise and asked, "Old man, since you know that I can't cultivate, why do you still ...... Isn't it?"

As if knowing what Lin Liang was thinking, the old man nodded and said, "Yes, I did find a way." ”

"Really?"

"Nonsense, why else did I bring you here" Seeing that what he said was questioned again, the old man's face was a little unbearable.

"Originally, I couldn't help it, otherwise I wouldn't have been repaying my debts for the past two years. Speaking of the debt, the old man couldn't help but blush. Immediately, Zhengse said, "Lin boy, if you hadn't brought that gourd head, maybe your life would have been like this, in the final analysis, it was your own efforts." ”

"Gourd head?" Lin Liang asked confusedly, "What does the gourd head have to do with my iron vein?"

"The gourd head naturally has nothing to do with your iron vein, but with my gourd, let alone an iron vein, even if it is ten times more difficult, I can get through. The old man said confidently.

Seeing that Lin Liang was still at a loss, the old man didn't continue on this topic, and shouted as soon as he said, "Lin boy, I want you to tell me now, do you want to cultivate!"

Being drunk by the old man, Lin Liang instantly sobered up, and said without hesitation: "Of course you have to cultivate! I must see how the life of a martial artist is different from the life of ordinary people." ”

Hearing this, the corners of the old man's mouth twitched, "It's actually just to see life", and suddenly thought of something funny, and said with a strange expression: "Lin boy, then you can cultivate now." ”

Oh, wait, you didn't do anything and just told me to cultivate, how can I cultivate? Lin Liang, who responded in passing, suddenly reacted and shouted.

"Whoa, hit the tree. The old man said unhurriedly.

"What, hit the tree, old man, you are lying!" Lin Liang's eyes widened.

"That's right, it's hitting a tree. Seeing that Lin Liang didn't believe it, the old man had to hold back a smile and patiently explain to him: When ordinary people rush the pulse, the blockages in the meridians will be discharged through the body in the process of opening up.

And the body is very fragile, so generally the meridians are seriously blocked and will not rush at the age of five, but at the age of thirteen, because that is the last chance to open the meridians, once the meridians are past the age of thirteen, they will be fixed, and they will never be able to get through.

Therefore, people with severe blockages will continue to temper their bodies before the age of thirteen to meet the impact of the pulse. And as you are an iron vein, the blockage is even more extraordinary, if you can't temper your physical body to a certain level before the age of thirteen, even if I find a way to open up your iron vein, you won't be able to cultivate. For as long as you try to rush the veins, the blockages of the iron veins will destroy your flesh and turn you into a waste.

Hiss! It's so serious! Lin Liang gasped, and immediately his face became bitter, "Old man, can you change the way of tempering your body, it's too ...... to hit a tree"

The old man glanced at the reluctant Lin Liang and said: "The easiest and most effective way to exercise the body during the impact, you must know that you must suffer hardships to become a superior person." Do you still want to cultivate!"

This last sentence was that the old man used a trace of strength, which shook Lin Liang's heart.

Thinking that if he didn't cultivate, he might end this life like this, Lin Liang's eyes showed a strong unwillingness, and he said in his heart, "Bump into it, for the sake of cultivation!" immediately closed his eyes and crashed towards the tree.

Bang!

Looking at Lin Liang, who kept hitting the tree but gritted his teeth without screaming in pain, the old man smiled in surprise and said secretly in his heart: "If this son can really break through the iron vein, with his belief in cultivation, his achievements in the future are limitless." Then he went on drinking.
