Chapter 15: Practicing the Nine Branches
Xiaoyu clutched her stomach and returned to the cabin by the lake, and her grandfather was about to come back for dinner. Can't let him find out that he was beaten by Zhou Tong, Chen Xiaoyu endured the pain and began to prepare lunch for Chen Yun. Just after cooking, Chenyun returned to the wooden house. Grandpa is back.
Grandpa! When eating, Chen Yun noticed that something was wrong with Xiaoyu, and the speed and amount of food were smaller than before. After eating, Chen Xiaoyu said embarrassedly: "Grandpa! I don't want to go to the boat in the afternoon? Why? I have to give grandpa a reason." Grandpa, my stomach hurts.
Hehe! Xiaoyu! You still want to double cultivate, this little problem will make you retreat? Let me tell you that the cultivation of martial artists starts from themselves, if your body is not strong enough. Then I would like to advise you to give up the cultivation of martial artists. Chenyun knew that Xiaoyu, the child, was not a coquettish person, and since he wanted to give up the afternoon boat, it meant that he really had a physical problem.
However, Chenyun wanted to hone his fighting spirit and willpower through this incident. If he wants to cultivate martial arts, then this level will have to be passed sooner or later. I'll go. Okay, come with me to the docks now. But all the passengers this afternoon will have to be crossed by you, and grandpa will not help you.
After speaking, Chenyun came to the ferry with Xiaoyu. I saw that there were already people waiting there at the ferry. Come and sail for you. Uh-huh! After saying that, Chenyun lay down in the shade of the tree and rested.
Xiaoyu: Why are you here to ferry? Chen Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Grandpa! My arm hurts today, so I'm here to support the boat for everyone." Get on board.
Passengers looked curiously at the morning light rain on the ferry. I saw that this morning Xiaoyu's arms were not much thicker than the poles. Are you sure you can get us to the other side? Don't swim slower than us. Don't worry, uncle. Guaranteed to be fast and steady, and send you safely to the other side. The middle-aged man got on the small wooden boat in disbelief.
Chen Xiaoyu forcefully inserted the pole into the lake water, using the strength of the whole body to feed. It was only with great difficulty that the ferry was allowed to leave the dock, but immediately a spasm in his stomach came from him. He knew that this was left by Zhou Tong, and at the same time, he secretly swore in his heart. You must return this pain to Zhou Tong.
However, Zhou Tong is already a great spirit master, but he is nothing. God rewards hard work, as long as you work hard, you will definitely be able to catch up with him. Chen Xiaoyu shook the pole in his hand hard, and the wooden boat began to slowly sail towards the opposite shore in the lake.
As long as you look closely at the morning light rain, it is not difficult to find. Dense beads of sweat had already appeared on the child's forehead. It's not the heat or the reason why the ferry is overstretched. It was caused by the spasmodic pain in the stomach, and the morning light rain finally sent the uncle to the other side. But he himself almost collapsed.
Can't fall, definitely can't fall. This is a contest between will and body, Chen Xiaoyu gritted her teeth and insisted. The pole in his hand had already been deeply inserted into the lake mud, and his back against the pole kept him from falling.
Huh! Xiaoyu! Why are you holding the boat today? Grandpa? Chen Xiaoyu looked back and saw Aunt Wang from the town coming to the ferry. Aunt Wang: Do you want to make a transition? Hmm! Then come up.
Enduring the cramping pain, he pulled the pole out of the lake mud with both hands. The small wooden boat slowly left the ferry again, heading for the opposite shore.
The wooden boat moves in the middle of the lake, but every time the boy moves the boat, he has to shed a drop of sweat. The old man Chen Yun looked at the morning light rain in the middle of the lake, and looked at him who was sweating profusely. The old man was also moved by compassion, was he a little too cruel to this child? But thinking about his cultivation path back then, wasn't it like this?
The heavens will descend on the people, and they must first work their muscles and bones to starve their bodies and skin. The path of cultivation is smooth, and if this spasm is unbearable. Then it's better to give up cultivation and live quietly with me, at least so that you can retain a little bit of your family's bloodline.
Goodbye! light rain! ferry pier. Aunt Wang handed over the money to Chen Xiaoyu and waved goodbye to Xiaoyu. After Xiaoyu sent Aunt Wang away, she was finally able to rest for a while, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and prepared to get off the boat to drink saliva.
Yo! Isn't this the little bedbug in Wutang? What's the matter? Today is your boat? How much is a trip? Isn't this the little overlord Zhou Tong who just beat himself up in the morning? The chubby face was looking at the morning light rain on the wooden boat with a contemptuous expression. Chen Xiaoyu was about to say that you want to cross the lake, and I won't cross it. But before he could speak, Chenyun, who was lying in the shade of the tree, said: Three copper plates for one trip, and five copper plates for one person alone.
Hehe! It's so cheap, boy, Young Master Ben is in a good mood this afternoon. Give you a few copper plates to earn, and you will give me the young master Watamoto back and forth. After speaking, Zhou Tong took out a handful of broken silver from his body and threw it beside Chen Yun. Tell your grandson to play back and forth for me. Chenyun gathered away the broken silver from the ground. Light rain! Don't cross the guests over?
Chen Xiaoyu just wanted to refute, but the little overlord Zhou Tong jumped on the ferry. Tell you that tomorrow the young master I don't want you copper, I want to beat you again. Hehe! Give the young master my ferry. Chen Xiaoyu angrily pulled up the pole and drove the wooden boat away from the ferry.
On the calm Qianyu Lake, a thin teenager rowed back and forth on the ferry. There was only one passenger on the ship, but the passenger did not get off the boat when he arrived at the pier. Instead, stay on the boat and wait for the ferry to return to the other side of the pier. Seeing Chen Xiaoyu gritting his teeth and enduring the pain, the little overlord Zhou Tong felt comfortable.
The sun was slowly setting, and the sky was gradually darkening. I had a great time this afternoon, young master, and I hope you can surprise me tomorrow. After speaking, Zhou Tong walked in the direction of the town, and saw Zhou Tong's back disappear into the night. The resentment towards Zhou Tong in my heart deepened a lot.
Don't look at it. People are gone. Chen Yun came to Chen Xiaoyu's side and carried Chen Xiaoyu on his back. Xiaoyu! Did you have a holiday with the little overlord Zhou Tong? Grandpa! This Zhou Tong came to Wutang yesterday to ask us for a copper plate, but I didn't give it to him yesterday. He beat me up, and he came again today. As a result, I still couldn't beat him, and I was injured by him.
Grandpa, why do you want me to go around to play? Hehe! Xiaoyu! We live on ferries, since he has money. Why don't we earn it? Before Chen Yun finished speaking, Chen Xiaoyu fell asleep on his back. Hearing the snoring sound coming from his back, Chenyun Hui smiled heartily: It seems that it should be used for this child, anyway, it is useless to keep that thing. It's better to help Xiaoyu build a foundation.
Back at the wooden house, Chenyun put Chenxiaoyu on the bed. I helped him cover the quilt and took out a small wooden box from the dark compartment of the wooden house. I saw that this wooden box contained a piece of spiritual jade and a white cloth, but there was also a thing wrapped in a black cloth in this wooden box. I saw Chenyun take the black cloth in his hand, and then open the black cloth, and a palm-long branch appeared in front of him.
And this branch is different from ordinary branches, I can see bursts of golden light flowing on the palm-length branches. At the same time, there seemed to be liquid flowing in the branches, and if anyone knew the treasures of heaven and earth, he would be surprised to find it. The branch in the old man's hand is the nine-section branch of the cultivation body, and this thing is the treasure of martial arts cultivation.
The cultivation of a martial artist is divided into several stages, namely, the martial artist stage who trains the body and bones, the martial artist who refines the five internal organs and cultivates the essence, and the martial arts master who can freely use the essence on his own. A martial arts master with a core of essence, this is the initial period of a martial artist. However, this Nine Joints of the Body Cultivation Branch can improve the body of the cultivator, and at the same time, form the essence of the body training in the body of the cultivator. If this cultivator cultivates properly, he can also form a core of essence qi in his body.
That means that a cultivator who has just entered the martial arts family may soar to the stage of a martial arts master in one go after taking the Nine Branches of Body Training. But that's just a theory. No such thing has ever happened in this Pure Land Continent.
Chenyun put all the nine knots of the training body in the kitchen, and then took out an egg from the cabinet. Break the eggs and mix them in a bowl, then break off a section of the nine branches of the exercise.
A crisp sound echoed through the cabin. Chenyun turned the broken nine-knot branch upside down, only to see a drop of golden liquid dripping into the bowl. Well, so that Xiaoyu won't find out. Chenyun put the eggs in the pot, but sat down on the stool and smoked.
Xiaoyu is a child with a kind nature, and he is well-behaved and sensible. Originally, I wanted to keep him by my side for the rest of his life, but this little guy was bent on cultivating, and he still had all the elements of a cultivator. Hey, the young eagles are going to soar in the sky, and all I can help him with is to send him a gust of wind.
Morning Cloud called out the morning light rain in its sleep. Grandpa: Is it dawn? Seeing Chen Xiaoyu rubbing his eyes, Chen Yun touched his little head. Silly boy! Get up!
Grandpa, you've got a meal for me? Chen Xiaoyu quickly got up from the bed, came to the table and grabbed a steamed bun and chewed it. Slow down! Beware of choking. Chenyun said with concern. At the same time, he put the steamed eggs in the pot in front of Chen Xiaoyu. Ate the eggs.
Grandpa, you can eat some too. Today, you helped grandpa hold up the boat for an afternoon, and grandpa should treat you too. Eat quickly! Chen Xiaoyu picked up the spoon and began to eat the eggs. But the taste of this egg today is a bit special, as for what is special. The young Chen Xiaoyu couldn't say it, but after eating this egg, the injury from being beaten by Zhou Tong was no longer painful.
It's late. A faint glimmer of golden light began to emerge from the stomach of the young morning light rain, and then ran around his body. In the end, this golden light stayed in the acupoint on his chest, and then disappeared into Chen Xiaoyu's body.
