Chapter 3 Filial piety comes first
The whole process of the two fighting for their lives, the thunderstorm was in full view, until the two had been dead for a long time, the poisonous fog had dissipated, and there could be no more danger, the thunderstorm slowly stood up, and had just witnessed the murder, at this time his legs were still a little weak, and he was a little disobedient, so it was easy to calm down, and he was ready to escape at any time. After waiting for a while, seeing that there was no more movement, he boldly approached the two men cautiously with a branch in his hand.
poked the two people who fell to the ground with a branch, but without any reaction, they boldly stepped forward.
The scene of the two fighting to the death made him even more shocked, "That person named Xu Laosan is so vicious, and he would even think of using pretending to be dead to deceive and kill his opponent, if you encounter this kind of thing in the future, you must be vigilant."
A bag, a storage bag, and two quenched short swords appeared in Lei Yu's hand. The robes of the two were also turned over by the thunderstorm, and there was nothing else except a few taels of silver.
At night, Lei Yu sat on the bed, opened the bag he got from Xu Laosan, and poured all the things on the bed: "There are more than 30 taels of silver, and there are 26 gold leaves", although Lei Yu is poor, he sells firewood in the town every day, and he has also heard of the value of gold leaves: "A gold leaf is worth ten taels of silver", so calculated, this time he got nearly 300 taels of silver, Lei Yu's eyes were a little bright, and his heart was pounding: "A back of firewood, at most worth three, Four pieces of silver, this is a lot of money, I don't know how much firewood to exchange, with this money, you can use it to cure my mother's illness."
There were a few jade bottles in the bag, filled with some pills, and the labels on the bottles read: "Bigu Dan", "Life Continuation Pill", "Serum Heart Pill", "Wan Gu San", "Bone Devouring Powder"" and so on, thunderstorms who have never been in contact with these things, of course they don't know what they are used for. There are several pamphlets: "Extracts of Magic", "Analysis of Poisons", "Introduction to Magic Skills", "Appreciation of Treasures of the Cultivation Realm", and the rest are unknown weapons, such as flying needles and steel cones, which glow green. Lei Yu was afraid of being accidentally poisoned, so he didn't dare to touch it and put it back in his pocket.
Lei Yu took out the palm-sized pocket hanging from the waist of the person surnamed Huo and the ring given by the master, and looked at it repeatedly for a long time and didn't know how to open it, but the master said that this was the accumulation of his life, and the cautious expression on his face, Lei Yu knew that it must be a treasure, but now he didn't know how to open it, so he still hid it close to him and left it for later.
took out the "Eighteen Tips for Longevity" given by the master, carefully experienced the words of the general outline, and I didn't know what was going on in my mind, and there were esoteric concepts such as meridians, internal qi, and divine consciousness that I never knew, but these concepts were too complicated, and I didn't know it.
He crossed the general outline, stared at the first map, imitated the posture of the portrait, crossed his legs, folded his hands, and followed with his eyes and nose and nose. According to the general outline, I always thought that the qi of heaven and earth was poured in from the top of my head, and slowly sank into it, and time passed unconsciously. When he suddenly came to his senses, he found that it was almost dawn.
He sat on the bed all night without sleeping, and when he woke up, he found that he had not felt the slightest change in himself, that he had not gained anything, but that he was not tired.
After getting up, he did not go to the mountains to cut firewood, but borrowed a cart and took his mother to the county town dozens of miles away to seek medical treatment.
The two came to the county seat, found a large pharmacy, prescribed prescriptions, and grabbed a few pairs of medicines.
The doctor in the shop, about seventy years old, was very kind and sympathetic, and when he saw that his mother and son were dressed in tattered clothes and prescribed cheap medicinal herbs, he told Lei Yu behind his mother's back that his mother's illness was difficult to cure.
"Little brother, your mother's illness has dragged on for a long time, the loss of qi and blood is too great, in addition to spending a lot of money, it is also very difficult to cure, you can only rely on God's grace, let her live a few more days, try to get her some haode things to eat, replenish her body, and do her filial piety."
"Grandpa, please try your best to cure my mother, I sold the house and raised some money, I must cure her illness", Lei Yu said earnestly.
"Well, for the sake of your filial piety, I'll prescribe a few more medicines for you, and I'll catch them when I'm done," the doctor said.
Two years later, in March, the thunderstorm turned fourteen. A few years ago, my mother's illness, despite the thunderstorm cost a lot of money, took a lot of medicine, and took a lot of supplements, it still got worse and worse, and finally it was irreversible and passed away.
In the past two years, thunderstorms have come from the wind to the rain, except for going up the mountain to chop wood, that is, going to the county town to ask for medicine, trying every means to save his mother's life, and doing everything he can, he has done everything.
After months alone, Lei Yu picked up his simple bag and walked out of the house step by step. He always remembered his master's entrustment, but his mother was sick, and it was impossible for him to leave. Now that his mother has passed away, he has no worries, and he no longer has the slightest attachment to this town that is full of hatred in his heart, and he is walking towards the goal in his heart.
"The surname Zhao, don't be rampant, wait for me, one day I will come back and personally take the life of your family to avenge my father and mother", Lei Yu swore as he left.
In the past two years, Lei Yu has always kept in mind the words of his master: "diligence can make up for clumsiness, practice hard, persevere, no matter how difficult it is, you have to grit your teeth and hold on, there will always be gains", insisted on meditating and practicing every night, and he meditated all night for the first one or two months, and he didn't feel anything, but even if he didn't lie down to sleep at night, he wouldn't feel tired mentally when he got up the next day, so he didn't care, just thought it was just a different posture to sleep, and still insisted on cultivating.
The thunderstorm that has not been cultivated, in the middle of the night three months later, inadvertently caught a trace of airflow, as if it was flowing from the top of his head, when he felt it carefully, this trace of airflow disappeared again, and there was no progress in meditation and cultivation for three months, and the emotions that were originally a little lost were mobilized again, and when he meditated down again, he felt the existence of this trace of airflow again.
"Finally there is progress," Lei Yu was very excited at this time, and he couldn't calm down all night, although he didn't know what this thin air flow would bring him, in short, it showed that this kind of cultivation was effective, and this cultivation method was correct.
From the night I felt the feeling of qi, to the time I set out to find Elder Ma of the Immortal Sect, it has been almost two years, and the extremely thin air flow is slowly getting thicker, but the change is very subtle, and Lei Yu doesn't care, do what the master says, and it will always be beneficial to persevere.
Strange to say, since he had an obvious sense of qi, Lei Yu felt that he was not so tired when he worked, and even when he was very tired, after resting for a while, the tiredness would soon disappear. Now, he feels that he is full of energy and deafness: "I can hear the slightest noise around me, even if the small insects in the corner of the wall crawl by, I can clearly hear some details that I usually don't notice at all, and I can walk and run much faster than usual."
That time in the town, Lei Yu sold firewood, and when he was about to go home, he met the gang of ruffians in the town, who were grabbing eggs sold by an old lady from the mountains, and one of them he knew, was Zhao Taiqi, the housekeeper in the Zhao family's pharmacy, and Zhao Zhongqing, the son of "Zhao Papi".
