Chapter 12 Insufficient qualifications
In the next few days, Hercules Demon (I took it myself) An Xiaoqi became a little white dragon (I still took it myself) An Xiaoqi, and my strength, speed, reaction, etc. became normal again. The good days of 'carrying eighty pounds in one breath without effort' are gone, not to mention the fantasy feats of breaking iron pounds with one hand and 'shaking mountains like twisting feathers'.
Techniques such as 'micro-eyes' are also afraid to open. According to Master, if this kind of technique does not draw enough energy, it must draw life force to offset it. With his current small physique, it is really not cost-effective for Hawkeye to take ten years of life to pay off his debts.
However, in the entire farmhouse, it was not An Xiaoqi and Master who were hit the hardest, but the long-tongued trio. Among them, the second long-tongued child is the most keen, and on the second day after An Xiaoqi received the exercises, he found that An Xiaoqi no longer participates in heavy physical work, he is like an ordinary manager, only responsible for greeting guests, crackling and pressing the calculator, for several days. This directly led to a reduction in the room for the trio to steal and play tricks, if in the past, the three of them would have to complain about An Xiaoqi. But not now, people are now small bosses, and they can't afford to offend, so they have to casually mention it when they meet at dinner.
"Little boss, why haven't you come to exercise lately?"
An Xiaoqi was passing by with water, he was now struggling to carry a bucket of water, and when someone asked, he said casually: "Exercise a shovel, I don't have the strength." ”
The eyes of the second and third children lit up: "Gone mad?"
"It may be to abolish the whole body power and drive out the door wall. ”
"Boss Yi cleans the portal?"
Uncle God of Food slammed the dish on the table with a 'bang', and the oil soup splashed the faces of the trio, and roared in a rough voice: "Eat or not, don't eat and fuck off!"
The three of them were immediately silent, and they didn't dare to confront the chef at all, and the big trick of spitting in the food made people shudder to think about it.
Fortunately, the sharp decrease in strength only lasted for a few days, and under the support of the master's love regardless of the work cost, An Xiaoqi regained his miraculous strength. Naturally, it is still through the tip of the tongue series, in addition to eating, or eating.
Although the master said it well, Xiao Qi would not be able to refine his true qi at all. But if he doesn't practice it, how can he take a break? Therefore, he only cares about practicing and refining qi according to the teachings. No matter what time of day it was, day or night, he was struggling to store his qi, hoping for the qi feeling to appear, and his diligence made the master nod his head secretly. It's a pity that his efforts are all in vain, no matter how huge the divine power of the foreign family is, he still can't refine the slightest bit of true qi, so he has to cry out in vain.
According to the laws and regulations described in the exercises, he learned that he was now blessed by the huge energy brought by the treasures of heaven and earth, just like in martial arts novels, a certain master put a palm on the back of whoever and the gong passed, and then anyone could also hit the earth with the blessing of the master's skill. It's a pity that the power is always someone else's, it will only keep consuming, and it will not merge with itself, as long as you stop eating the treasures of heaven and earth, it will slowly be exhausted.
Understanding is just understanding, but he doesn't know why it is - there are too many supernatural and profound things in the middle that he can't understand, and he is really puzzling about the situation of eating treasures without fundamentally improving his physical fitness. After thinking about it alone for a long time, I always had no clue, so I had to ask my teacher.
At this time, the master was lying on the rattan chair admiring the sunset, with a cup of tea in his hand, and sometimes lifting it up and taking a sip. When An Xiaoqi came, he saw the remnant sun shining on the master, and the master's tall figure seemed to be made of gold, making it impossible to force people to look. I vaguely saw that he had black hair, a clear face, three long beards, and a dusty temperament, and the divine light opened and closed between Gu Pan, but he had an indifference to see through the world, facing the sunset, it seemed that Master Yi was not like a mortal, and for a while, An Xiaoqi was stunned.
Seeing that he began to be in a daze after running to salute, the master raised his glass and coughed lightly, An Xiaoqi reacted, and hurriedly picked out his questions and said them.
Taking a sip of tea, the master put down the teacup, didn't answer the question, and asked him instead, "How do you feel when you are refining qi now?"
"The meridians are blocked, and there is no breath at all. Although the heavenly and earthly treasures that were eaten turned into heat, they could not be guided at all, and after circulating alone for a while, they disappeared without a trace, and they could not be used to open the veins and open the acupoints at all. I felt that my whole body was like a mass of viscous ink that could not be dissolved, and I really didn't know how to start refining qi. ”
The master opened his eyes, but he sighed, with a hint of pity in his eyes, and said in a gentle voice: "The cultivation of stubborn stones is nothing more than that, but it is difficult for you to be so diligent. ”
As he spoke, the master closed his eyes again, lay down, tapped the bamboo and rattan armrests with his finger knuckles, and said softly: "Fortunately, it is all expected by the master, and there will be arrangements, so you can go with peace of mind." ”
An Xiaoqi stood in place, just stupid: The qualifications that dare to be in the bottom are like stubborn stones? This starting point is too low, so why waste so many good things? Why don't you go back to your Huaguo Mountain, and I will go back to my Gao Laozhuang.
Of course, just think about it in your heart, he is not stupid enough to say it, after all, he doesn't want to be electrotherapy. I had no choice but to go back. Naturally, even if he went back, he still tried persistently, and then failed as always, fighting with perseverance, but there was no hope of success.
Time passed in a hurry, and in November, the weather suddenly cooled down, the autumn wind and autumn rain were sad, and one day I woke up, without the slightest defense, and the temperature plummeted by ten degrees, jumping directly from summer to early winter. People also hurriedly added sweaters and jackets, scolding the street to go out, and it happened that the news on TV was that Heilongjiang ushered in the first snow of the year, which calmed the cold tropical residents and turned to discuss the heating problem.
An Xiaoqi's township is located in a remote area, with a high altitude, and there will be more than a month of snow cover every year, and the road will be closed when the snow is the heaviest, so in this period when there is still some distance from the severe cold, it is almost the busiest time of the year.
It is impossible to heat the house with electricity, and every year there are incidents of heavy snow crushing electric poles in the township. If there is no electricity, all the electric stove hand warmers will have to be blinded, not to mention that the villagers do not have that kind of thing at all; there is no gas in the mountains, and the hoarded gas canisters can only ensure cooking, and it will not work to use them for heating. Therefore, the villagers still take the most primitive logging methods to hoard materials for heating, all kinds of miscellaneous trees, wild grasses and shrubs, dry paulownia, fallen branches, no matter what it is, as long as it can be dried and burned, it will be full of bundles and carried home, and the firewood room specially prepared at home will be fully loaded, waiting for the heavy snow to fall.
So the hard-working little bee An Xiaoqi turned into a little squirrel An Xiaoqi and got busy in the autumn. Every day, I either carry a gas canister up the mountain, or I hold a big firewood knife to chop firewood all over the mountain, not to mention the work that can't be left behind in the farmhouse.
At the beginning of autumn, it is the season of eating sheep, and it is also the peak period of sheep slaughter, and there are merchants in the county to buy sheep every day. Master, don't talk about taking care of things, you can't see anyone during the day. An Xiaoqi had to take charge of himself, hired someone to catch the sheep and command the weighing to be sent to him, and took care of the business in an orderly manner. When some of the sheep were sold, he went to the neighborhood to contact and buy a batch of lambs, mixed with the lambs born from the breeding sheep, and after a few months, it was a lot of income.
The busy day has had a remarkable effect, the cellar of the farmhouse is full of vegetables, the firewood is full of firewood, the sheepfold and chicken coop have been taken care of, the feed has been stocked up, and the heating equipment has been carefully checked, so that there should be no problem in getting through this coming winter.
In his free time, An Xiaoqi occasionally thinks, as a guy who cultivates immortals, what is the point of doing these things? Every day, how much time does the family have to cultivate, and how can he pursue the Great Dao? Although he can't understand it thoroughly, Master's always calm and breezy appearance gives him full confidence. An Xiaoqi only said that the master had expected it, so he was not bothered in his heart.
In addition to working during the day, the master also has to add homework to An Xiaoqi, preaching the law and preaching encyclopedias, there are always a lot of things, some exotic plants, precious beasts, it is not clear, as long as the master holds An Xiaoqi's little hand, the image will clearly appear in his heart, it is self-evident, the so-called law does not spread six ears, nothing more than that.
Working hard during the day and cramming ducks at night, in this difficult environment, An Xiaoqi gradually grew up and said goodbye to the ugly duckling image of the past. One day in November, An Xiaoqi was standing in the bathroom showering, and the figure in the mirror almost didn't make him recognize. Under the water vapor, a delicate face is reflected in the mirror, the eyes are bright, the eyebrows are like a mountain, the lips are slightly drunk, the black hair is shiny, and the skin is a healthy pale red under the reflection of the water. The full cheeks and the two abdominal muscles in the abdomen clearly give people a high-spirited look. Looking back at three months ago, the short image of the shaky hair and thin black skin reflected on the water surface seemed to be over the years.
I still remember that in his previous life, he was beaten by his adoptive father and just recovered from his injuries, and he also worked with the master for a period of time, but in the end, he was not accepted by the master into the door, and only used a piece of "Bao Hu Jue" to let him teach himself qigong. He had no choice but to leave here after a few months, went to the city, and under the adventures of wandering, he put down roots in another place, studied and took exams, and never returned to this small mountain village.
In the past, An Xiaoqi's elementary and junior high school reading career has long been blurred, and after going to another place, high school, college is still deeply memorable. However, in this life, he has an adult mindset, and he grabs a lot of alternatives, and he is not very keen on learning this path, so he is not willing to let him go to junior high school again. Even if he is allowed to do business and do sales, his interest is obviously greater than studying, so he always skips school. It's just that things don't go as he wants, and his little caution can only be crushed by the master's will.
