Volume 1: On the Tianheng Mountain Chapter 8: The Path of Cultivation
Yang Ming is in a very good mood, it is really good, after cleaning the kitchen, he started cooking, there are four people to eat dinner, at least four dishes and one soup, but Yang Ming has not eaten anything good in the past few days, and prepared the whole five dishes and one soup to treat himself.
There are still a few fat ducks left in Yongzhou Mansion that the head chef just arrived in today, and Yang Ming killed one to make a roast duck. Lao Lu wanted to eat the bad fish fillet the day before yesterday, and he must get one for him to taste. In autumn, the specialty of Tianheng Mountain, Zhusun, has also been picked back a lot.
Boil a pot of soup with the duck rack of roast duck, and the duck soup made by cooking Zhusun with duck rack soup is extremely delicious, with five flavors of spices and fresh wolfberry, this pot of soup is called a thousand gold by Yang Ming, because it is too fresh.
The lotus root of Nanhong Lake is made into lotus root clips, and the bamboo shoots are shaved into dragon whisker shreds, and fried with shredded carrots and shredded potatoes. The small green vegetables that have just sprouted in the backyard are just blanched with water, accompanied by the choking ginger and garlic with pepper oil is already very lovely, and finally sprinkled with a handful of chives, the fragrance is fragrant.
"Boy, this dish is too rich today!"
Lao Lu smelled the fragrance and walked into the kitchen, holding a jar of good wine in his hand, his eyes looked around, seeing Yang Ming so busy, it was estimated that he would have a good fortune at night, so he directly set up a table next to the big willow tree in the backyard, and poured the elixir jade liquid into the purple gold wine cup.
"Uncle Shi, why are you here?"
Just after Lao Lu drank a glass of aperitif, Hu Yue and Lin Ruozheng walked into the backyard of the kitchen, watching Lao Lu drink the wine in one go, Lin Ruo understood why Uncle Xiao was here.
At this hour, what else can you do besides come to eat?
"You girl, I must be here to eat, what's the matter? Do you only allow you to rub my apprentice's food?"
"No, Uncle Shi, you should go back to meditation at this point, the delicious food must be laughed at by us young people who are growing up. ”
Hu Yue pulled Lin Ruo to sit next to the stone table, Lin Ruo also saluted Lao Lu before sitting down, after all, the third generation of disciples still had to fulfill the etiquette when they saw the second generation of disciples, Hu Yue didn't care about any etiquette or not, after all, Lao Lu still blew his beard and glared at her in the afternoon.
"Lin Ruo, I always think your name is familiar, isn't it?"
After drinking a glass of wine, Lao Lu looked at Lin Ruo's appearance for a while, and always felt very familiar, but he couldn't tell who he looked like.
"Father Lin Xiao, Uncle Xiao should know each other. ”
"Oh, you're Lin Xiao's girl, I know you, I got acquainted with your father back then, hahaha, we went to steal your grandfather's money together, but then your father was cleaned up by your grandfather, that's really ......"
Lao Lu saw that Lin Ruo's expression was wrong, so he shut up in recognition of each other, when he and Lin Ruo's father were mixed up, Lin Ruo was already four or five years old, although she had never seen Lao Lu, but she still had an impression of stealing money.
"What are you stealing money, Uncle Lu, you have to make it clear, if you do something bad, I can't cover you!"
"What a bad thing, little girl, don't talk nonsense!"
Lu Cheng hurriedly interrupted Hu Yue.
"Can he be a bad thing to be a vassal and elegant? We were originally trying to fight with that Oiran for a good time, who knows if we are shy in our pockets! ”
Lin Ruo suddenly had a black line in his head, it turned out that when he was a child, his grandfather severely punished his father and it was instigated by this little uncle.
At that time, his father was almost thirty years old, and he was fooling around with the teenage Lu Cheng in the Qinglou of Yongzhou Mansion in Beiqian, and his grandfather took more than ten family masters back and beat him up to beat the thirty boards, and after this incident, Lin Ruo's father never had any contact with Lu Cheng openly.
"Your father, he is a poor man, but I blame your old man for being too strict. The young man is merry and high-spirited, and that is a relaxed and happy thing. ”
"Uncle Shi, you are still high-spirited as a drunkard, I think you are drunk, no skin and no face!"
When Hu Yue said this, even Lin Ruo couldn't help laughing, Lao Lu looked embarrassed, and his speech was a little incoherent.
"You, you, you little girl, you have to respect the elderly, no matter how I say it, I am also your uncle, laugh at me like this, aren't you afraid that I will wear small shoes for you?"
"Impossible, Uncle Shi, you can't do this at all if you are so skinless and faceless!"
Hu Yue's little girl played straight to the fullest, although if she said this to others, she would really offend people, but Lu Cheng really didn't care about this, this girl's temper, hey, a little like him.
"Okay, okay, don't keep laughing at Lao Lu, serve the food!"
Yang Ming walked out of the kitchen with two plates, and after a while, five dishes and one soup were placed on the stone table.
Sesame oil greens, stir-fried three shreds, fish fillet, fruit wood roast duck, and a large pot of bamboo duck soup.
Lao Lu took out another purple gold wine cup and put it in front of Yang Ming, Yang Ming was not polite, he poured himself a glass when he picked up the wine jar, and poured the wine in the cup for Lao Lu.
"Yang Ming actually learned to drink with his uncle!"
After Hu Yue removed one of the thighs of the roast duck, she couldn't help but say when she looked at Yang Ming's sip of wine, Lin Ruo on the side saw it clearly, when Yang Ming was drinking, there was really air circulation under his skin, and this wine was found by Lao Lu to give him a solid foundation.
"Go, go, little girl, eat your food!"
"Uncle Shi, I heard Master Shangqing say that you are very powerful, then can you tell me how to improve my Seven Star Array Bomb." ”
Looking at Lao Lu, who was in a very comfortable mood after eating a few bites of bad fish fillets, Hu Yue suddenly remembered the problem she encountered when she was cultivating today, it was difficult for her Seven Star Array to continue to improve in terms of attack power, which made her very unhappy.
After she went to Master Shangqing to inquire, Master Shangqing did not give him a clear answer, but only gave her the opportunity to ask Lu Cheng.
She originally wanted to find Lu Cheng in the afternoon to ask about Yang Ming's whereabouts, and by the way, to ask about the improvement of the Seven Star Array, but Lao Lu was not in a good mood in the afternoon and didn't pay attention to the little girl at all.
Seeing that Lao Lu is in a good mood now, then ask.
"Girl, your move of using the Seven Star Array to catalyze the true qi bomb is indeed fresh, but the amount of your own true qi is not enough, your temperament and five elements belong to gold and fire, you must be more cautious and know how to be harmonious and flexible. ”
"The Seven Star Array is the foundation of the Five Elements Spell, it is indeed interesting for you to find another way, but your own flaws need to be overcome, Tianqianlu needs to integrate the Five Elements Method in your cultivation, and your Five Elements Method may not be ...... yet."
Hearing Lao Lu's words, Hu Yue scratched her head.
"Uncle Shi, you don't know, I haven't cultivated the Five Elements Method yet, and Sanqing's cultivation hasn't been in place yet. ”
"By the way, Lao Lu, I haven't systematically studied Tianqianlu before, you tell me, I also want to know more about the method of cultivating true qi. ”
"Then, I'll tell you about the path of cultivation. ”
Lao Lu immediately drank a glass of wine and talked eloquently.
The so-called path of cultivation is the different factions divided into the cultivation of true qi, and the four major cultivation schools mentioned above are: refining the body, refining the spirit, refining the technique, and refining the soul. In the True Qi Theory recorded by the Cloud Empire, these four major factions are called respectively: Body Refining, Divine Cultivation, Imperial Weapons, and Soul Forging.
Among these four major factions, there are people who pursue the ultimate in a single practice, and there are also people who integrate and practice miscellaneous arts, and in the two stages of true qi enlightenment and awakening, specializing in one will be more conducive to the foundation of one's own true qi.
Refining the body is a person who cultivates the body, cultivating the true qi to forge the body. Boxers, arhats, walkers, craftsmen, etc., are usually the ones who refine the body.
Cultivating the gods is a person who cultivates the arts, cultivating the true qi to sharpen the spirit, being knowledgeable and strong, turning into three clears in one qi, cultivating into the three grids of heaven, earth and man, and condensing the three spirits of the spirit. Scholars, talismans, mages, etc., are people who cultivate the gods.
The imperial weapon is the person who cultivates the ascetic technique, swords, guns, swords, halberds, axes, hooks, forks, whips, hammers, hammers, sticks, sticks, spears, rakes, eighteen kinds of weapons, eighteen kinds of weapons, and all kinds of weapons are the recognition of the Tao of the self. Almost all the staff of Zhongzhou Mu are the people of the imperial weapon.
Forging the soul is a person who cultivates the soul with true qi, the true qi comes from the soul, nourishes the body, and swims in the avenue, and the person who forges the soul does the opposite, does not stimulate the exercise of the true qi, and more to smelt the power of the soul.
Among the four major factions, there are thousands of people in the imperial weapon, very few people who forge souls, those who practice in the body, and those who cultivate gods pursue Datong.
"The girl of the Lin Xiao family, I can feel that you already have the sword momentum, you should have planted a heel in the comprehension of the sword intent. ”
Lao Lu pointed out Lin Ruo's question in one sentence, and Lin Ruo was a little surprised.
"I guess the master told you something. ”
"No, no, no, he won't tell me about you, I observed it. ”
The dishes on the stone table have been almost eaten, Hu Yue is listening quite seriously with her chin in her hand, and Yang Ming is picking her teeth with a bamboo skewer that she doesn't know where to pick up.
"Your true qi around your body is quite cloudy, the five elements belong to the wood and water, and Hu Yue girl is different, you are symbiotic bias, Tianqianlu and all things are integrated with Yanghua, divide the five elements, and compile the Tianhong sword technique with the qi of wood and water, this set of swordsmanship is somewhat out of tune with Tianqian's true qi. ”
"But this can't deny the power of the Rainbow Swordsmanship, Dacheng's Rainbow Swordsmanship has a sharp momentum in every move, nourishing sharpness with warmth, and condensing the edge with peace. There is a saying that the swordsmanship is not strong, and the intention is two bars. ”
"Your breath is breathing, and every move reveals a sharp momentum, but this momentum is restrained by your gentleness and peace, like a scabbard that retracts the edge of the sword. ”
Lao Lu gestured for a moment to draw the sword, and then gently gestured to draw the sword.
"However, the lack of sword intent alone still can't be called a sword, and the sword intent you want to condense is also sharp in connotation, so it is mutually blessed with your potential. ”
Lin Ruo nodded, she did think so, and he had already spied some doorways.
"Hehe, you can succeed, but well, you can't make it. ”
"Please give me advice. ”
Although Lin Ruo's tone was calm, he really hoped to be able to get Lao Lu's guidance, after all, this person who was full of wine and ate Haisai was the strongest of the younger generation of the Cloud Empire.
"What is a 'pole'?"
Lin Ruo thought about it and shook his head.
"If Lin doesn't know, please ask Uncle Shi to solve your doubts. ”
"Extreme, that is, endless, reincarnation, or extreme, complement each other. ”
After Lu Cheng finished speaking, Yang Ming nodded violently, he was the first to understand this truth.
"There's no need to pursue sharp sword intent anymore, your sword momentum is already sharp enough, why bother to pursue a higher level of sharpness? ”
"What you want to pursue is not the sharp pole, but your own pole, and your own pole is in the midst of endless life. ”
Yang Ming scratched his head, Hu Yue was about to fall asleep, but Lin Ruo understood.
The night of September has begun to turn cooler, and the last chirping of the summer insects on Tianheng Mountain has finally come to an end, and the stars in the sky are twinkling and twinkling, and the little crescent moon holding the hand of the night, slowly from the edge of the sky to the sky.
Lin Ruo entered a state of retreat the next day, but as everyone knows, this retreat is only a month.
Seeing that the hall test jointly conducted with Zhongzhou Mu is about to kick off.
......
Zhongzhou, Miyun.
There are eight counties in Zhongzhou, and Zhongzhou Mu also has eight banners, Miyun, Pinggu, Zifang, Liangchuan, Shuanglu, Chengshan, Litang, and Huaihe. Major General Chen Jintuo's Miyun Banner is located in the southeast of Zhongzhou, which is in contact with Beiqian.
There are four eight banners under the Zhongzhou pastor, and the location of the eight counties is where the eight banners are located, and the four are: the hidden family Tangmen, the Mojia Momen, the soldiers' grandson gate, and the law family Hanmen. The four family members were appointed in different departments of the Eight Banners, and the four were basically the arsenals of Zhongzhou Mu.
Miyun Banner will participate in the joint competition with Tianheng Mountain in two months, which naturally caused an uproar within Miyun Banner.
Many young generations of Zhongzhou Mu are eager to try, and they want to have a good race with their peers in Tianheng Mountain before the world competition.
"Motu, I heard that your younger brother Morin is also going to participate in this competition. ”
In the juvenile camp, five teenagers were discussing this competition with Tianheng Mountain.
"That kid is so weak that I can hold him to the ground with a single finger. ”
The boy known as Motu gestured a little finger, causing several teenagers to laugh.
"That's it, Tianheng Mountain is no longer good, except for the Lu Cheng who was not good at the fire back then, the disciples of Tianheng Mountain have not won a good ranking in several big competitions. ”
"This kind of thing is still up to us Zhongzhou Mu!"
"Last time in the big competition, the top three were all from our Zhongzhou pastor, brothers, this time I can't be ashamed to go to Tianheng Mountain to compete. ”
"Boss Tang Xin, what do you think?"
Among the five teenagers, the only one who was sitting on his bed and practicing slowly opened his eyes, this young man had a huge scar on his face, at a glance it was a wound caused by the war, and his body was like a strong bull, no, if there was really a bull who wanted to provoke him, I was afraid that he would be beaten into a beef patty with a punch.
"There was a little chef in Tianheng Mountain, and he beat up the little ghost who played with talismans in Luxian Palace, do you know. ”
"That He Dong doesn't have any skills, last time Motu had a trick with him, that is, the level of the middle class in our new barracks. ”
Tang Xin ignored the person who spoke, and instead looked at Mo Tu.
"Motu, what do you think of He Dong's level?"
"I have a hand in playing talismans, but I'm a little scrambling, and the level is okay. ”
"Can you control your true qi to defeat He Dong unscathed at the level of awakening?"
Motu was stunned, thought about it calmly, and then shook his head.
"Li Yan, can you?"
The young man who had just spoken was also silent.
"Fang Ci, Han Yue, can you two do it?"
The two teenagers who had just seen the joke stopped laughing at this time.
"What are you talking about Tianheng Mountain, do you really think that we are really much stronger than the disciples of the Eight Great Families?"
Tang Xin moved his neck, and Caracalla's skeletal voice was very clear.
"He Dong, originally an outer disciple of the Tang Sect, later Penglai Daoist specially came to our hidden house, picked this kid to go to the Luxian Palace, a person who was favored by the Luxian Palace Palm Sect, lost to a little chef who was really angry?
As soon as Tang Xin said, everyone was speechless.
"I have heard that among the three generations of Tianheng Mountain, Lu Chen's Tianqian Creation Fist is wide open and closed, and Lin Ruo's Tianhong Sword Technique is unparalleled in the world, I thought these two people were the most powerful three generations of disciples of Tianheng Mountain. ”
"There was actually a little chef who easily took a stick and cleaned up He Dong. ”
"I'm curious, very curious about them. ”
"Don't be careless, be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, this is what our ancestor of the hidden family has repeatedly told me. ”
When Tang Xin said this, the scar on his face was faintly painful.
"I'm 17 years old, and when I was fifteen years old, I was careless, and as a result, I lost my best brother and I got a scar while fighting bandits along the east. ”
"Don't be careless, don't be careless, don't be careless. ”
After Tang Xin finished speaking, he walked out of the camp tent, and a strong wind blew outside the camp tent of Miyun Banner, which made the big poplars rustle, and the horses in the stables kept neighing, and the patrolling soldiers buckled up their masks.
But the wind couldn't blow away the scars on Tang Xin's face, nor could it blow away the haze in his heart. In his clutched hand was a talisman, and on the ribbon of the amulet, a line of small characters was written in a delicate font.
"Give it to Brother Lin Nian. - Lin Ruo"
