Chapter 19: I will not give up on myself
Although Wang Qiang lost to Li Dafeng, causing the four-leaf clover in the village to be sold to the people of Lijia Village at three folds, it seems that Wangjiacun not only lost face, but also suffered a big loss, but everyone knows that the competition between Wang Qiang and Li Dafeng is just held to consolidate the friendship between the two villages, even if the four-leaf clover is sold at three folds, Wangjia Village only loses a few hundred taels of silver, and compared with the four-leaf clover that Lijia Village buys in Wangjia Village every month, it is just a small amount of money, which is not enough to worry about.
Wang Cun walked in front of Wang Qiang and continued: "You performed well just now, as long as you work a little harder, then you will be able to win the game." ”
Wang Qiang nodded, but he was still quite disappointed, because hundreds of villagers looked at him with serious faces, and seemed to blame him very much for losing the competition.
Wang Cun said to hundreds of villagers at this time: "Fellow villagers, please applaud Wang Qiang's performance just now, although he lost the competition just now, but when he competed with Li Dafeng on the stage, the strength he showed was remarkable, if he continued to work hard to cultivate in the future, he would definitely become a pillar of Wangjia Village." ”
As soon as the words fell, a burst of "crackling" sound sounded, and I saw that hundreds of villagers almost applauded, which made Wang Qiang, who was already in a lost mood after losing the competition, suddenly quite moved, he thought that he had lost the competition, and the villagers looked down on him in the future, but the villagers were not stingy with their applause at all, which showed that the villagers did not deny his strength because he lost the game. Wang Qiang suddenly secretly thought that he must cultivate hard to become stronger, and next time he will compete on stage, so as to live up to the expectations of the villagers.
Wang Cun saw Wang Qiang's relieved smile on his face, and immediately understood that Wang Qiang's heart knot had been untied. Wang Cun said: "Everyone must remember that today we are competing in the ring in order to kill the enemy on the battlefield in the future and not fall down, so it is ridiculous that people who dare not go to the ring are ridiculous." ”
The villagers said in unison, "Yes." ”
Wang Cun said: "Okay, it's okay, it's time for dinner, let's all go back." ”
With that, the villagers left the square one after another.
......
On a path paved with crimson glow, Wang Dalong and Wang Dalong walked on it, and Wang Dalong said, "Why did Wang Qiang and Li Dafeng compete?"
Wang Da said: "Village Chief Li and our village chief are both very strong people, but both of them are noble martial kings, and they are embarrassed to make a move in front of everyone, and Village Chief Li heard that there is a genius martial artist named Wang Qiang in our village, and it just so happens that his eldest son Li Dafeng's strength is not weak, so he wants to see who will win between Li Dafeng and Wang Qiang." For this reason, the two made a bet, if Li Dafeng won the game, then today Village Chief Li with a few subordinates came to buy all the four-leaf clovers three fold, and if Wang Qiang won the game, then Village Chief Li will add an extra price to buy today's batch of four-leaf clover. ”
Wang Dalong said, "Oh. So that's it. Wang Da, let's cultivate hard, if we compete with the people of Lijia Village next time, we must fight for the glory we lost today. ”
Wang Da said, "Yes. ”
The two walked past hundreds of towering houses, and then came to a stone house, and Wang Da said, "It's my house." Do you want to come over for dinner?"
Wang Dalong said: "No need, my grandfather has already cooked at home and waited for me." ”
As he spoke, Wang Dalong walked a little further ahead, and then arrived home.
Wang Dalong entered the main house and walked to the restaurant, only to see that Wang De, who was in a wheelchair, had already picked up chopsticks and was eating meat, Wang De said: "If you don't come back, I will eat all the food, where did you go just now?"
Wang Dalong said: "I went to the square to watch the martial arts competition. ”
With that, Wang Dalong sat down, picked up his chopsticks, picked up a bowl of rice on the table, and ate it.
Wang De said: "Who is competing with whom? It actually aroused your great curiosity to watch." ”
Wang Da said while chewing the food in his mouth: "Li Dafeng was the first day in Lijia Village and Wang Qiang, a genius martial artist in our village, and in the end, Li Dafeng won. ”
Wang De said: "Village Chief Li's reserve army is very powerful. The juniors of our village must work harder, otherwise they will surpass Lijia Village in the future, and then they will have less right to speak in Fengzhen. ”
Wang Dalong said, "Yes. ”
......
After dinner, Wang Dalong came to the courtyard to cultivate.
Bang bang bang.
Wang Dalong kept lifting the two-hundred-pound stone to exercise his arm strength, after the sky darkened, Wang Dalong had already lifted the two-hundred-pound stone for a hundred times, the sweat on Wang Dalong's face flowed down, and his arm strength was sore, originally Wang Dalong wanted to rest for a while, but thinking that Li Dafeng, who was only a few years older than himself, was already a ground-level martial artist, and suddenly Wang Dalong lifted the two-hundred-pound stone.
"Two hundred and fifty, two hundred and fifty-two, twenty-fifty-three......"
After Wang Dalong lifted the boulder four hundred and fifty times in one breath, he was suddenly tired and weak, knelt on the ground on his knees, and kept panting.
Half an hour later, Wang Dalong regained his strength, and then continued to lift the boulder weighing two hundred catties to exercise his arm strength.
But due to the excessive use of his arm strength just now, Wang Dalong only lifted the two-hundred-pound boulder thirty times this time and couldn't lift it at all.
Wang Dalong stopped his arm exercise, walked into the utility room, took out a rope, and then kept jumping.
The strength of a warrior is important, but if you don't have flexible steps when fighting, you will be very clumsy when attacking the opponent, and if you encounter an opponent with the same strength, you will suffer.
When Li Dafeng and Wang Qiang competed today, if Wang Qiang's footsteps were flexible and changeable, and he could dodge Li Dafeng's attacking fire fist in time, then it was very likely that Wang Qiang would be the winner.
After Wang Dalong jumped the rope thousands of times, he was so tired that he was out of breath and his legs were sore, so he stopped skipping rope.
Wang Dalong sat in the shade of the kerosene lamp, rested for a while, then stood up, and jumped a thousand more times before stopping his cultivation.
Wang Dalong put the rope back into the utility room, then entered the bathhouse, took off his clothes, and jumped into the half-man-high vat with a pop.
The hot water in the vat was put to remove the tired grass, and Wang Dalong soaked in it, feeling comfortable.
An hour later, Wang Dalong came out of the hot water bucket, put on clean clothes, and returned to the west room.
Wan Lai was silent, Wang Dalong sat cross-legged on the bed, took out the black bead, looked at it, and said, "Affectionate, is the aura in this black bead really only effective when I absorb it when I reach the human level martial artist?"
Affectionately said, "Yes, haven't you tried to absorb the pure aura of this black bead to assist you in your cultivation? Can't you feel that the pure aura you have absorbed has not made much progress except for helping you get rid of your fatigue and improve your strength a little bit?"
Wang Dalong said: "I do feel this way. ”
Affectionate said, "That's it." You are just a martial artist now, and you can't use those pure spiritual qi at all, and then after these spiritual qi enter your body, a lot of them are lost unconsciously when you cultivate. ”
Wang Dalong said, "Oh. All right. When I'm promoted to a human-level martial artist, I'll use this black bead again. ”
With that, Wang Dalong put the black bead in his pocket, lay on the bed and slept on his back.
......
On the second day, Wang Dalong got up early and picked up the two-hundred-pound stone in the courtyard to exercise his strength.
"One, two, three, four.... 497 down, 498 down, 499 down, 500 down. My strength has finally reached the level of a human-level martial artist. ”
With a bang, Wang Dalong threw the two-hundred-pound stone on the ground, and danced happily.
Wang Dalong said: "Now I should feel the aura and open up the sea of qi." ”
Wang Dalong sat in the shade of the tree, closed his eyes, and felt the aura, but after an hour or two, Wang Dalong did not open up the sea of qi in the dantian.
Wang Dalong suddenly frowned, puzzled, had to enter a white space, Wang Dalong looked around, there was no movement, like a dead land, there was no living thing. Wang Dalong thought, this is my sea of consciousness, I can only walk in the soul, so I am the soul who appears in this space.
Not far away, there was a handsome young man dressed in white, this young man was amorous for I don't know how many thousands of years he lived, but because of his strong strength, he maintained his youthful appearance. Wang Dalong walked over and said, "Master, why is it that my strength has reached the strength of a human-level martial artist, but I still haven't been able to open up a sea of qi in the dantian?"
Affectionate said: "I don't know, I'll check it for you." As he spoke, he took out a copy of "The Great Book of Qi and the Sea" and read it carefully.
After a while, Duoqing put together the "Qi Sea Daquan" and put it in his bag and said: "There are two reasons why a martial artist whose strength has reached the human level still hasn't opened up the Qi Sea, the first is that you don't have the Qi Sea, that is, no matter how you cultivate, you will never be able to open up the Qi Sea, which is equivalent to a waste." ”
Hearing this, Wang Dalong's face turned pale with fright, and Wang Dalong said, "I can't be without a sea of qi, right?"
Affectionate said: "It's not clear yet, you listen to me first." The second reason is that you are gifted, and the sea of qi you have opened up is very likely to be very strong, so the meridians of your body are not strong enough, so you can't withstand the impact of aura and open up the sea of qi. ”
Wang Dalong's face looked a little better, but his eyes were still full of worry, and he said, "Then what kind of situation do I belong to?"
Affectionate said, "I don't know either." But you must not give up on yourself, if you start to decadent now and give up cultivation, then you will never have a chance to open up the sea of qi. ”
Wang Dalong said: "Amorous master, don't forget, we are connected, you must help me, if I can't become strong, then you can never reshape your body, return to the peak of strength, and then return to your original continent to take revenge." ”
Affectionately sighed and said, "If I have a way to help you, of course I will help you." But it is said in "The Great Book of Qi and the Sea" that you can only rely on yourself in this situation. ”
Wang Dalong said, "Okay. I'm not going to give up. I must be very talented, so I haven't been able to open up the sea of qi for a long time. ”
Amorous said, "Yes. Come on, boy, I'm optimistic about you. ”
The breeze was blowing, it was very cool, Wang Dalong stopped communicating with Duoqing in the sea of consciousness, then opened his eyes, and immediately walked to the strength training area, and continued to lift the stone weighing two hundred catties to exercise his strength.
