Chapter 36: Gathering Gas
Zhou Hao led the mountain tiger back to the house, and as soon as he closed the door, he pointed at the mountain tiger's nose and scolded: "You foodie, the master's face has made you lose everything!"
"Wang!" The mountain tiger with a round belly lay on the ground, not even looking at Zhou Hao, and barked lazily twice, which was a protest.
"The master has spent a lot of money raising you! A hundred taels of silver is gone like this, how can you, a foodie, compensate for the loss of the master?" Zhou Hao continued to scold.
In the room, Zhou Hao gave out half of his net worth - a silver ticket of a full 100 taels, in exchange for the help of the room to buy 30 catties of fresh meat to feed the mountain tigers for three months.
A full 100 taels of silver is enough for a few families to live for a whole year! Spending on this guy is only enough for three months' food expenses.
Thinking of the one hundred taels of silver, Zhou Hao was heartbroken, and scolded the mountain tiger, and he became even more energetic.
But the guy from the mountain tiger, who regarded Zhou Hao's scolding as a lullaby, actually fell asleep lazily, and snored gently!
Zhou Hao was really angry when he saw this, and kicked the unresponsive mountain tiger in the buttocks: "His grandma's! The master knew that you were so tired, he should have let you slaughter you and eat dog meat in a stewed pot!"
Zhou Hao scolded the mountain tiger vigorously, but he forgot that he could eat better than the mountain tiger! Sure enough, what kind of owner there is, what kind of pet there is!
Seeing that the mountain tiger still had no reaction, Zhou Hao helplessly still said a cruel sentence: "Hmph! When you foodie wake up, the master will slowly clean you up again!" After speaking, he sat down on the bed again and started his first cultivation
According to the requirements of the Thick Earth Replenishment Heaven, the first step is to gather all the strength of the whole body to the dantian.
Using the thick soil to replenish the heavenly method in the spitting method, Zhou Hao first concentrated and controlled his breathing according to a special rhythm.
"Breathe, breathe, breathe!"
With this special rhythm of breathing, Zhou Hao gradually calmed down, his heart was free of external objects, and the whole person was immersed in a mysterious feeling.
Slowly, after getting used to this rhythm, Zhou Hao no longer had to deliberately control his breathing, and he had already naturally begun to breathe.
And Zhou Hao's attention also began to sink slowly from controlling his breathing.
From the mouth, nose to the throat, from the throat to the chest, from the chest to the lower abdomen, from the lower abdomen to three inches below the umbilicus, all attention is focused on the dantian position.
In Zhou Hao's perception, the fist-sized dantian was completely empty.
After a little exploration of the situation in the dantian, Zhou Hao used the qi gathering method in the thick earth gong to start guiding the strength of the whole body and slowly converging towards the dantian.
A trace of invisible power, under the guidance of Zhou Hao, slowly gathered in the dantian from the meridians of the whole body.
A quarter of an hour later, the invisible force gathered to the thickness of chopsticks.
After two quarters of an hour, it gradually grew from the thickness of chopsticks to the size of a little finger.
Half an hour later, the power gathered in the dantian grew from the thickness of the little finger to the thickness of the thumb.
An hour later, the power gathered in the dantian grew to the size of an egg.
And by this time, the strength of Zhou Hao's whole body had been completely drained!
Zhou Hao, who felt that he was sore and weak, thought in surprise: "How can this be? Didn't you say that you have to use your strength to fill all the dantian with strength? How can you have the size of an egg, and you will be powerless?"
Encountering a situation that was not recorded in the exercises, Zhou Hao did not dare to reluctantly continue to practice, and hurriedly collected the exercises.
This harvest is also exquisite, and it is necessary to slowly withdraw from the cultivation state step by step. Otherwise, if you are not careful, the power gathered in the dantian will completely escape. If it is light, the previous efforts will be wasted, and at worst, the dantian will be damaged!
According to the method of thick earth to make up for heaven, Zhou Hao slowly finished his work and opened his eyes.
At this time, Zhou Hao, who was sore and weak, fell asleep on the bed
This sleep was extremely heavy, and it wasn't until the sky was bright that Zhou Hao woke up with sleepy eyes.
Feeling that most of his strength and energy had recovered, Zhou Hao hastily washed up and hurriedly ran to the dining room. First, I went to catch breakfast, and second, I had the questions I encountered in my cultivation last night, and I still needed to ask Xue Wanche and other guards for advice.
By the time Zhou Hao arrived at the dining room, Xue Wanche, Scar and the others had almost finished their meal.
Seeing Zhou Hao hurriedly coming, Xue Wanche put down the dishes and chopsticks and scolded: "What the hell are you doing? Why didn't you come to dinner last year?"
Zhou Hao smiled, and he was not polite, grabbed the dishes and chopsticks and began to eat and drink. While stuffing something into his mouth, he replied vaguely: "General, I started cultivating last night! This cultivation is too tiring, and I overslept in one night." ”
"What??," Xue Wanche asked with concern.
"I've really hit a problem! My strength can't fill the dantian, it's only the size of an egg, what's going on?" Zhou Hao put down the dishes and chopsticks and asked with a nervous face.
"Haha, it's very simple, because your kid's strength is insufficient! If your kid's body has the strength of a thousand catties, he can fill the dantian at one time. If the strength is less than 1,000 catties, then it will be divided into several injections. But you kid is not bad, you can actually gather the size of an egg at one time, and the physical strength is at least about 500 catties. Inject it again, and the dantian will almost be full. Xue Wanche replied.
When Zhou Hao heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, he thought that there was a business trip in his cultivation, but it turned out to be such a simple problem.
I only heard Xue Wanche continue: "Let's put aside the matter of cultivation, come on, come on, Lao Tzu will introduce it to you." These are Lao Tzu's personal guards, and they are also my old brothers who have been with me for more than 20 years. ”
Xue Wanche pointed at them one by one and introduced: "Scar, you met yesterday, this half-human, half-ghost guy is a shadow; this arm is longer than a leg, it is a bloody claw; this is as thin as a bamboo pole, it is chasing the wind; this guy with a dead face is a broken sword; this ugly monster with a lion's nose and a wide mouth is a crazy knife; this guy who is fatter than a pig is a scale." The rest of the people are still running errands outside, you kid get to know them first!"
These strangely named guards are actually all bandits and robbers. After following Xue Wanche into the army twenty years ago, in order not to cause trouble, he hid his real name and was called by a nickname.
Zhou Hao was slightly surprised when he heard these strange names, so he quickly stood up, hugged his fists at the few people around him and said, "A few seniors, the kid is polite!"
"You're the boss's new little brother?haha, it's really very tender!" Chasing the wind walked over and patted Zhou Hao's shoulder.
As soon as the scales came up, he gave Zhou Hao a bear hug, and grinned: "Thirteenth brother, come on, come on, let's get close to each other first!"
The mouth of the mad knife was like a lion's roar: "Thirteenth brother, I heard that you were bullied yesterday? Hmph, if you meet a guy who doesn't have long eyes in the future, just tell you Brother Crazy Knife, see if I don't pinch him to death!"
The rest of the people were cold, and they all hugged their fists slightly, even if they knew each other.
