CHAPTER IX
In the early morning, the sunlight outside the window shines into the room, sprinkles on the wooden walls and floor, and the cactus balls hanging from the windows gently sway with light and shadow on their backs.
Half of his body was warm from the sun, Lin Juexiao squinted his eyes slightly and slowly opened them, looked at the cactus ball that swayed slightly in the window, was stunned for a while, and then stretched his body hard, got up and put on his shoes. He walked to the sunny window, put his hand on it, and looked out: there were already a small number of adventurers moving around the village.
Lola had already made breakfast and was walking into Abel's room when she happened to see Lin Juexiao. She pursed her lips and smiled, and Lin Juexiao smiled in return.
It seems that Abel has woken up, I don't know what Tis is doing? Lin Juexiao thought, propped his palm on the edge of the window, jumped out of the window, walked straight to the door of Tish, and knocked on the door: "Tess, Tess!"
No one answered.
No, Lola's breakfast must have been the ingredients that Tees had gathered, and Able couldn't move yet.
"What are you doing?" a voice came overhead. Lin Juexiao looked up and saw that Tees was sitting on a tree, looking at him with a smile.
"So you're here," Lin Juexiao said with a smile, "What are you hiding up there?"
"I'm a flying man, and of course I'm in an unusual place. Teese said.
"Like a bat. Lin Juexiao said.
"Is that so?" said Tess, his feet hooked on the tree, leaning upside down to look at him, "I heard you're going to learn how to fight from Able. β
"yes, he told you. Lin Juexiao said.
"Well, it's not easy to learn fighting spirit at first - I'm afraid you haven't learned it yet, and we'll go to Treasure Island, haha!" Tees laughed.
"There's no way around that. β
At this moment Lola came out of Abel's room, and Tees saw it from the tree and said, "Hey, Lola is out." As he spoke, he jumped down from the tree and patted Lin Juexiao on the shoulder: "We're going to hunt snail monsters, you study hard!"
After Tis and Lola left, Lin Juexiao entered Ebel's room - Abel was half-lying on the bed, looking at a book with a green cover, and when he saw Lin Juexiao coming, he closed the book and put it aside, pointed to the chair next to the bed and said, "Sit down." β
After Lin Juexiao sat down, he asked, "How is the recovery from the leg injury?"
"It's not bad, I should be able to do it tomorrow. Able laughed.
"That's good," Lin Juexiao nodded, paused and said, "-So, what is Douqi?"
Able thought for a moment, as if considering how to explain it.
"The so-called fighting spirit is actually a kind of power hidden in everyone's body, but not everyone knows how to use it. β
Lin Juexiao listened carefully, he knew very well that this kind of power was related to whether or not he could start the adventure smoothly.
"If you want to awaken this power that is sleeping in your body, you have to open all the air holes in your body in order to allow the qi in your body to circulate. β
"Stomata?"
"The stomata are countless ...... 'air valves' throughout the body. Abel paused for a moment before coming up with a suitable adjective.
"I see...... How do you open the stomata?" Lin Juexiao asked.
"For beginners, it's not that easy to open...... Specifically, you should feel your qi with your heart, and after you actually feel that your qi fills your entire body, let the pores slowly open one by one, and you will be able to use your fighting qi smoothly and freely. Abel replied.
"Hmm. β
"As my understanding of the flow of qi improves, and as my body's pores and meridians become stronger after long-term exercise, I will be able to possess and control a stronger fighting qiβthat's what my teacher told me. β
"In this way, if you want to use Dou Qi at the beginning, the most important thing is to feel the Qi in your body. Lin Juexiao said thoughtfully.
"Yes, exactly...... Close your eyes," Abel said, closing his eyes, as if entering a meditative state, and said slowly: "Breathe slowly, calm your mind, use a most relaxed posture, find every part of your body, capture those faint strengths......" He was fully immersed in the process, saying his feelings as he did.
Lin Juexiao was already leaning back in the chair, closing his eyes and following Abel's rhythm.
"Qi may be in the fingertips, it may be in the calves, it may be in the head...... Feel them, understand them, approach them consciously, become one with them...... Then imagine directing them with your mind from head to shoulders, from arms to calves, to the soles of your feet, and back from the other side. A faint white light that seemed like a mist gradually appeared throughout Abel's body.
"The more you cycle, the fainter the qi at first will drive more and more sleeping qi, open more pores, and finally you will be able to use your fighting qi...... With slow practice, this stage takes nearly half a year for the average person to complete, but only one or two months for those with good qualifications. β
Able said, slowly opening his eyes, and then the scene in front of him made him almost unable to believe his eyes-Lin Juexiao's whole body was shrouded in a mist-like white light, although extremely faint, but real.
"This ...... Just the first attempt, I went from not even knowing what Dou Qi is, to being able to run Dou Qi smoothly for weeks...... Is this possible? Could it be that his stomata were fully open all at once?"
This tall man, who has always been rough and steady, was in chaos at this time.
β...... By the way, maybe he would have been vindictive and deliberately pretended to be ...... No, no, if he could, it would be impossible not to resist the flower mushroom at that time. These thoughts flashed through him like lightning in a moment, as if a spiritual atomic bomb exploded in Abel's mind, completely subverting his cognition.
A terrifying sweat began to appear on Abel's forehead.
He returned to the room after a moment of distraction, and thought to himself, "It's terrible...... I always thought that Tees was very smart, but I didn't expect this person to be a real monster - the concentration and sensibility have reached a breathtaking level. β
Lin Juexiao felt that his whole body was connected to Shutai at this time, and there was a feeling of swelling that could not be seen by the naked eye, and the stream of strength flowing in the limbs and every corner of his body made his spirits uplifted.
"Able, what's wrong?" Lin Juexiao hadn't heard Able's voice for a long time, and he didn't know what to do at this time, so he asked with his eyes closed.
"Oh...... It's nothing. Either way, Able has slowly come to terms with this incredible fact and says, "You are doing well, now slowly open your eyes and look at your body." β
Lin Juexiao opened his eyes, looked down, and was surprised to find that there was a layer of faint white light on his body, and asked, "What is this?"
"That's vindictiveness. Because you've now let the air flow all over your body, including your eyes, you can see. β
"Haha, so fast. Lin Juexiao looked at all parts of his body with a novel expression.
"Yes, it's really fast...... I don't know what happened to you either. Abel said helplessly.
"I guess I've already opened the blowholeβI just don't know. Lin Juexiao happily touched and pressed everywhere, in terms of touch and texture, it was like a layer of ultra-thin marshmallows wrapped in a leather surface.
That's the only way to explain it. Able smiled.
Lin Juexiao thought of one thing and asked happily, "So can I beat the red snail now?"
"Not yet. Abel replied.
"Huh?" Lin Juexiao was a little disappointed.
"Hehe-you only have Dou Qi now, and you don't know how to use Dou Qi yet. Abel said.
Lin Juexiao thought for a while, nodded and said, "Well, I understand what you mean." It's like having a lot of strength, but you don't know how to exert yourself, he thought to himself.
Able asked, "Would you like to take a break?" orβ"
"Learn now and try to master it today. Lin Juexiao couldn't wait to say authentically.
Can you learn to fight in a day?' Abel smiled bitterly - for now, it was really possible.
"Good. The effect of Dou Qi, you should have probably guessed - is to strengthen the strength and strength of the body, so that the body's offensive and defensive power is greatly increased. Abel said.
"Of course, the total amount of Dou Qi in the body is limited. Generally speaking, our whole body is evenly covered with Dou Qi, and the strength and intensity of the whole body are average at this time - but if I concentrate half of the Dou Qi in the arms. Speaking of this, Abel found that the fighting spirit on his arm had increased significantly.
Abel continued: "If that's the case, the rest of my body will have less strength and intensity, but it's good when I'm going to attack or defend with my arms and I don't have to worry about other parts. β
"The use of vindictiveness is very flexible. Lin Juexiao said.
"Hehe, yes. β
"Wellβit seems that you have to master the flow of fighting energy, otherwise you won't have time to apply it in battle. β
There is hardly any explanation. Abel thought to himself.
"There is also a use of vindictiveness, which is to attach to objects and increase the strength of objects. Able said, plucking a hair down, "The hair is soft, but when I attach my fighting spirit to itβ"
Abel pricked Lin Juexiao's hand with that hair, and the instant stinging pain immediately provoked his reaction to withdraw his hand. Lin Juexiao retracted his hand and touched the place where he was pierced with his other hand.
"Hehe, it hurts a little, isn't it? β
"I see. Lin Juexiao was very interested.
"But it's a complicated way to use it. The reason for flowing in the body is because you know your body well, and to attach your fighting energy to an object, you have to understand it deeply and make it a part of yourself. β
"Well, I'll try. Lin Juexiao had just learned the "Peerless Divine Skill", and he was so happy that he couldn't help but stand up and say, "Is there anything else to pay attention to?"
"Hmm...... Dou Qi is the body's energy, and although it is much more abundant than physical strength, it is also consumed with use. Other than that, there's not much to pay attention to. β
"Haha, okay - thank you so much, Abel! I'll go outside and practice. Lin Juexiao was about to go out, and when he walked a few steps to the door, he was a little puzzled: "Huh, Abel, my body seems to have become lighter." β
"Of course, because the flow of Dou Qi in the body will subtly strengthen the body, even when you don't use Dou Qi, your physical strength is much stronger than that of ordinary people. Able smiled and thought to himself: What a strange person to have such an amazing talent, and at the same time to be like a child picking up a treasure.
"That's right. Lin Juexiao was in a good mood and ran out with a cigarette.
