On the fifth watch of the next day, the night was dark and the wind was cold.

Chenfeng washed up as usual and came to the courtyard to start practicing Sky Splitting Boxing, according to Lian Chengyu's explanation, one punch and one kick were clear-eyed, fist-style boxing, punching strength, fast and slow, without the slightest opportunism.

Gradually, the morning breeze felt that his body began to heat up, and the cold of the morning gradually disappeared. After a while, Morrowind had forgotten where he was and what he was doing, as if he had become one with the dark world.

In the dark night, there were two pairs of eyes staring at the figure of the morning wind, there was no sound, but the eyes were full of the same look of disbelief.

A pair of eyes came from Lian Chengyu, at this moment he was sitting on the roof of the thatched house without any image, drinking wine silently, looking at it and laughing silently, the picture was extremely weird. Maybe the wine was too strong, maybe the roof was windy, and I was smiling and laughing.

The other pair of eyes is naturally the red cloud eagle in the corner of the yard.

Chiyun Eagle has begun to have spiritual sense, although the understanding of the way of heaven and earth is not as good as Lian Chengyu, but it can be regarded as having a certain Taoism, at this moment, looking at the figure of the morning breeze gradually blending into the night, it is difficult to hide the surprise in his eyes, and he slowly stood up regardless of the pain, staring at the morning breeze motionless.

Lian Chengyu looked at it for a long time, wiped away the tears on his face with his sleeve, and said in a voice that only he could hear: "At the age of five, you have practiced this Heaven Splitting Fist to the unity of heaven and man? It's not in vain that the old man has been lonely for tens of thousands of years. ”

When he said the word "really", he paused obviously, and only after a slight hesitation did he pick up a self-deprecating sentence, I really don't know what he still had to worry about when he was the only one.

There was silence for a moment, and only the morning breeze was silently punching in the courtyard until the east turned white.

"Whew..."

The morning breeze exhaled and stood still. Sweating profusely, my clothes were all soaked, and I couldn't tell how happy I was. It was also the first time he'd felt since he started boxing.

Chenfeng himself was also very surprised, thinking that he would start learning alchemy today, and he would be able to go out of the grass hut to take a look outside, so he started to practice boxing with confidence, but he didn't know why he was sweating so much today.

Although the body feels sore, but after feeling it carefully, it seems that there is inexhaustible strength in the body, what is going on? Is it that I am too anxious, and something has gone wrong in my hurry?

"Wait for Uncle Lian to get up and ask, it's so strange, don't have any problems. I heard that there are many people who practice because they are eager for quick success, but they will go crazy. Morrowind muttered to himself. Hearing the roof, Lian Chengyu's mouth twitched, "This stinky boy, isn't it cheap and good-natured, I owe a beating!"

Morrowind quickly sorted out his mood and no longer paid attention to what was going on. When I opened my eyes, I watched the white sky in the east and began to gently exhale, one long and one short, three long and one short, five short and one long... This is all Professor Lian Chengyu's breathing method, and Chenfeng practices it honestly, not daring to make the slightest mistake.

The courtyard fell silent again, Lian Chengyu turned over and flew down, silently falling behind Chenfeng, looking at the rising sun that slowly jumped out of the horizon, his face expressionless.

The night began to fade slowly, the light gradually enveloped the earth, and when the morning breeze finished practicing, he saw Lian Chengyu behind him, but he only glanced at it, didn't say anything, and hurriedly walked into the room to start preparing today's breakfast.

Make a fire, add water to the pot, wash rice... Morrowind repeats these movements methodically, mechanically. After the rice was put into the pot, he took a large piece of meat and walked out of the room.

Chenfeng came to the corner where the red cloud eagle was with his flesh in his arms, and the down-and-out air overlord looked at Chenfeng, and there was a rare hint of jealousy in his eyes.

The Red Cloud Eagle looked at Chenfeng quietly, not moving or making a sound, as if the meat in Chenfeng's hand did not have the slightest attraction to it.

Chenfeng stood three meters away from the red cloud eagle, faintly scared in his heart, after all, he was still a five-year-old child, no matter how calm his heart was, he was also a little frightened in the face of such a behemoth.

Forcefully threw the meat in his hand at the Red Cloud Eagle, but seeing that the Red Cloud Eagle was indifferent, he couldn't help but have many speculations in his mind.

"Can't believe me?", "Arrogant personality, don't eat the food that comes from you?", "Afraid of Uncle Lian?", "Or does this piece of meat taste wrong and doesn't fit its taste?"

Seeing that the red cloud eagle was just staring at him coldly, he plucked up his courage, cleared his throat and said: "I don't know how much you eat in one meal, this piece of meat is a little different from ordinary meat, I added condiments, there are honeysuckle branches and leaves, eating it can speed up the healing of the wound, and it will help your injury." ”

After speaking, regardless of whether Chiyun Diao could understand or not, he turned around and went back to the room directly, and began to prepare breakfast, anyway, there is only so much he can do, he can't let himself feed it, don't say that the other party allows it, even if he is allowed, he doesn't have the courage to get close, three meters is already the limit.

After a clanging sound, a scent came out of the room. At the same time, with a few coughs and small noises, Lian Chengyu and the little black dog appeared in front of the stone table in the courtyard on time.

"Feng'er, have you read the book "Ups and Downs" recently?" asked Lian Chengyu during the meal.

"Well, I did, I haven't finished reading it yet. Morrowind nodded.

Hearing Chenfeng's concise reply, Lian Chengyu couldn't help laughing, and paused for a while before saying solemnly: "After reading it, you are greedy." "Ups and Downs" is a unique book, although it is not a secret book of exercises, but I dare to say that this book is still a treasure today, and it has no price. Once it spreads, it will definitely be a bloody storm, and everyone will fight for it regardless of the bloodshed. ”

Chenfeng nodded, understanding the meaning of Lian Chengyu's words. "I guess Uncle Lian thinks I'm using this book as a street stall. ”

In fact, Morrowind values this book more than anyone else, no matter how valuable and attractive it is, just the fact that it can broaden one's knowledge and dispel boredom is a great value for oneself.

Although Chenfeng didn't say much, he had been with Chenfeng for so long, so he could naturally understand the meaning of Chenfeng from the other party's every move, so Lian Chengyu didn't say anything more.

There was another silence, Lian Chengyu suddenly showed a cunning expression, and after smiling obscenely, he said shyly: "Today is the day when you start to learn alchemy, and the old man will tell you about the arrangements for the next year, how about it?"

Morrowind naturally didn't have any opinions, but he was inevitably a little suspicious in his heart. The rules of eating without saying anything and not sleeping were first formulated by Lian Chengyu, why did you suddenly have so many words and rules when you eat today?

Chenfeng wanted to be sarcastic in a-for-tat, but thinking that what Lian Chengyu said was very important to him, he could only nod silently and motioned for Lian Chengyu to continue.

Lian Chengyu didn't expect Chenfeng's psychology at this moment, he regained his master's posture, and continued seriously: "The first stage of the alchemist, read thousands of books, and travel thousands of miles. As the name suggests, this stage is to master all the principles of alchemy, the characteristics of medicinal herbs in the world, the experience of predecessors, etc., and then on this basis, use what you have learned to understand the growth environment of medicinal herbs on the spot, personally identify the medicinal properties, and verify the pharmacology. Do you understand?"

"Hmm" Chenfeng nodded heavily, saying it so easy to understand, if you don't understand it, you can't learn it.

"This stage is the most boring, you have to be patient. Don't underestimate this process, this is the key to determining the level of achievement in the life of an alchemist. Seeing Chenfeng's unthinking reply, Lian Chengyu was inevitably worried that Chenfeng would be too ambitious and not pay attention to basic exercises, so he emphasized it again.

"In "Ups and Downs", there are most of the records of medicinal herbs in time, indicating the pharmacodynamics and pharmacology, and during this time, you first remember the appearance and effectiveness of these herbs. The rest is more on that later. ”

"Hmm," Morrowind nodded again.

Seeing that the morning breeze was like this and cherished the words like gold, Lian Chengyu wanted to continue to beat, but remembering the scene he saw in the early morning today, he endured it again.

After dinner, under the guidance of Lian Chengyu, Chenfeng began to study the alchemy chapter in "Ups and Downs", Lian Chengyu spoke very carefully, in addition to the content recorded in the book, he could always quote scriptures and tell a lot of things that were not recorded in the book.

On the surface, Chenfeng just kept nodding his head and saying yes, but deep down he was also secretly frightened, don't look at this old man who usually looks like a scoundrel, but I have to admit that there is indeed something in his head, the so-called "connoisseur knows if there is one as soon as he shoots" is probably what it means.

In this way, under Lian Chengyu's careful teaching, Chenfeng began his own path as an alchemist. The warm sunlight shone in the courtyard, and the two men and two beasts formed an extremely peaceful and peaceful picture. So many years later, when the no-frills of Morrowind remembered the thatched hut in the mountains, he missed this scene very much.

With Lian Chengyu's explanation, Chenfeng gradually became obsessed, which made Lian Chengyu a little speechless, I thought it was a boring thing, not to mention that Chenfeng was only five years old, it seems that his previous forced needles were in vain, and he thought too much.

Morrowind is indeed enjoying the current process, although I have read this book before, but most of it is a casual view and I have not studied it carefully. At this moment, with the help of Lian Chengyu, he gradually became obsessed with this book, gradually fell in love with alchemy, and his heart was extremely eager to grow up quickly and become an alchemist, wanting to see all kinds of medicinal materials magically fused in his hands, and wanting to see the elixir he refined to the best of his ability, turning decay into magic.

The first alchemist course in Morrowind's life lasted until noon. When Lian Chengyu finished talking about the last set of medicinal materials, the morning breeze was still unfinished.

Reluctantly put away the book, his face full of reluctance. Under Lian Chengyu's always smiling gaze, he slowly walked towards the room, it was already noon, and it was time for lunch.

Just when Chenfeng had already stepped into the room with one foot, he suddenly remembered something, turned around, pointed to the "Ups and Downs" in his arms, and said with a meaningful smile: "Uncle Lian, didn't you say that you read ten thousand books?"

"Yes, reading thousands of books, not reading is not wise enough, only if you read more books, can you ......" Lian Chengyu said, involuntarily stopped talking, looking at the morning breeze with a bad smile on his face, where did he not know that he was in the way of this kid.

Lian Chengyu was annoyed and angry, pointed at the morning breeze and said angrily: "Okay! It's just a lesson and the wings are stiff? If you learn the old man's craft, this will not be a rebellion? It must not be that the apprentice has been taught to starve the master to death?"

Chenfeng didn't seem to expect Lian Chengyu's reaction to be so big, seeing that the other party didn't look like he was pretending to be angry, he quickly explained: "Eh, Uncle Lian, don't be angry, I didn't mean that, you know." ”

"I know, I know a hammer! The old man is dizzy, he doesn't know anything!" Lian Chengyu blew his beard and glared, usually taking pleasure in teasing this kid, but now the retribution is not happy, he was actually tricked, so he was naturally angry.

"Forget it if you don't have it, why are you so angry, it's so angry!"

Seeing this, Chenfeng couldn't continue to entangle, so he decisively turned around and entered the room, but he still retorted in a low voice and expressed his dissatisfaction.

Chenfeng's figure had disappeared into the room, but Lian Chengyu was even more annoyed, and after beating his chest for a while, he said angrily: "No? Aren't they just some tattered books? The old man is not a rare collection! You wait, tomorrow the old man will get you a mountain of books and a sea of books, so that you can read enough!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as Lian Chengyu's words fell, Chenfeng poked his little head out of the door of the room, and said with a grin: "Really? This is what Uncle Lian said, I didn't force you, you are not allowed to speak." ”

"This ......" Seeing the morning breeze disappear into the room again, Lian Chengyu choked for a while.

"Calculation in the calculation?"

After a long time, Lian Chengyu muttered to himself, his face was red and blue for a while. Why didn't I find out that this kid was so scheming and so bad before? Obviously, this feeling of being tricked and teased is not pleasant.

"Isn't it just a few broken books, you kid wait, and I'll settle accounts with you when you can't finish reading them. ”

Lian Chengyu muttered to himself again and disappeared, I don't know if he really looked for a book or went outside to relax.
