Zhou Shang didn't understand Shen Chi's excitement at first.

It wasn't until the caravan drove into the mountain village that the villagers who had been nervous suddenly greeted them.

Especially a few little imps who looked like diced radish, after seeing Shen Chi, they screamed out with joy.

Some ran madly towards the village, shouting "Brother Xiaobai is back, Brother Xiaobai is back in a big car!" ”。

Some simply threw themselves into Shen Chi's arms, intimacy like relatives reunited after a long absence.

Combined with the name [Shenjia Village], Zhou Shang reacted even if he was sluggish.

This is Shen Chi's hometown, and it is not difficult to find from the attitude of the villagers that this young shopkeeper is of great significance to this village.

The children surrounding Shen Chi almost overflowed with worship in their eyes.

And those villagers, their faces were even more hot with pride.

And Shen Chi, who returned here, took off all his disguises and changed into a real young man, innocent and kind.

"This time I not only came back to see you, but also brought a lot of good things, we don't have to suffer from poverty in the future, and your parents can come back to live!"

Shen Chi stood in the middle of a group of children, dancing and gesturing, his eyes seemed to have a light in his eyes, "In the future, you don't have to beg in the field forever, you can grow medicinal herbs, you can raise animals, you can become an alchemist, you can also follow me to the city, in the future, our village will have a different way of living, and everyone can live a good life!" ”

The children obviously didn't understand the meaning of a good day, and naturally they couldn't feel the excitement in Shen Chi's words.

But the children of poor families are the most able to see colors, and their emotions are even more sensitive, and they can feel Shen Chi's ecstasy, so they also cheer.

The children's laughter was the most infectious, and the faces of the villagers standing at the entrance of the village were also full of smiles.

Because of Shen Chi's relationship, the villagers politely welcomed the caravan into the village, not only cleared out several idle houses in the village for the caravan to rest, but also prepared hot meals.

And Shen Chi also took this opportunity to gather everyone in the caravan and explain the content of the transaction with Shenjia Village, "The main goal of our caravan this time is to develop these mountain villages into places where our business house grows medicinal herbs. The reason why I took Shenjia Village as my first stop is because this is my hometown, and I have persuaded the village elders that the village is willing to convert part of the cultivated land into a medicine garden. ”

"So at the moment, our main job is to teach the villagers of Shenjia Village how to plant broken flowers and fairy thatch."

With the mission goal clear, everyone in the caravan quickly got busy.

The groom taught the women left behind in the village how to raise small livestock, and Shen Chi led the men to demonstrate to the villagers how to grow and cultivate medicinal herbs.

On the contrary, the five guards led by Zhou Shang were completely idle after entering Shenjia Village.

The rest of the guards were just taking advantage of this to rest, after all, when the wasteland was speeding up in the second half, they were all scattered around the caravan to keep guard.

While guarding against the bandits' insertion, they also had to keep up with the running beasts, and when they arrived in Shenjia Village, they lost two catties per capita, all of them were tired.

So as soon as I heard that there was a chance to rest, I didn't want to move anymore, and every day I was studying with my husband what kind of mountain goods and game, and I was wearing shiny armor to tease the widows in the village, and my life was called a happy life.

The appearance of the caravan injected the vitality of hope into this calm and almost forgotten mountain village.

Zhou Shang also took advantage of this rare opportunity to rest and began to make up for the homework that he had missed because of the task.

The first is the [Five Fowl Guide], because he is responsible for the safety of the caravan, so when he goes out on a mission, he will only practice once or twice at most.

Perhaps for ordinary cultivators, this is already an unattainable level of diligence.

But for Zhou Shang, who has a special physique, such a training amount obviously cannot meet his requirements for the rate of progress.

So on the first day of rest, Zhou Shang trained himself thoroughly.

And in between every exercise to recover his strength, he is also constantly trying to open up the meridians.

After encountering the mountain bandits, he has been thinking about how to enrich his attack methods, and after removing many methods that are not supported by the conditions and cannot be seen in a short period of time, he finally found a feasible path.

That is to try to attack the hand and yin pericardial meridians in the twelve canons.

When he was in the camp, Lou Hong often popularized some cultivation knowledge to the camp guards, although they were only things at the level of qi and pulse, but because of his sect background, he could always tell some profound truths.

For example, the realm of Qi Sensation and Pulse Channeling, in the original Xuanling cultivation system, there were no two realms.

At that time, in the cultivation world, the study of vitality and the human body was not so deep, and the strength of a cultivator would be judged by the number of meridians opened.

And the reason why there is such a judgment method is because most of the exercises at that time were designed with one or several individual meridians.

In other words, if you practice a set of kung fu in your hands, you only need to get through the six canons of the three yang and three yin of the hand, and you can cultivate this kung fu to the fullest.

This also led to the fact that in the Xuanling cultivation world at that time, various exercises emerged one after another.

Some of those who can be cultivated with one or two serious ones are called third-rate exercises, and if you practice such kung fu to the top, you are a third-rate master.

And the kung fu that can only be practiced to the top level can be practiced by getting through three or four serious rules, which is called second-rate exercises, which means that you can become a second-rate master and crush the third-rate when you practice it.

All in all, the more meridians need to be opened to practice the exercises, the stronger the effect of the final practice.

For a long time, the Xuanling cultivation world distinguished the strength and weakness according to the meridians and the flow of exercises.

Until a grandmaster pointed out that all laws return to the sect, and the main meaning of different paths is the same.

This great master of ancient martial arts pointed out that the root of the uneven exercises is not in the exercises themselves, but in the development and application of the meridians, so the exercises developed by focusing on only part of the meridians will eventually be eliminated.

A true practitioner who wants to be at the top of his life should at least be able to penetrate the meridians of his whole body before moving on to the next stage of his practice.

Just like the treatment of all new learning, as soon as the Great Grandmaster said this, the Xuanling Cultivation Circle directly exploded.

All schools of thought denounce the great master's statement as heretical.

The grandmaster did not argue, but went into seclusion, and thirty years later, more than a dozen young people appeared on the rivers and lakes, and they claimed to be disciples of the Daoyuan Sect.

Any martial arts move, regardless of rank, they can imitate it as long as they watch it once.

Any trick secret technique, in their eyes, seems to have no secrets, just take it and use it.

When they first appeared on the rivers and lakes, these young people were still in outstanding physique, had a long pulse, and knew some simple punches and kicks.

It didn't take long for them to become masters who were proficient in more than a dozen first-class or even top-notch exercises, and they knocked out a large number of famous people.

At that time, everyone in the Jianghu Sect was in danger, for fear that the disciples of the Daoyuan Sect would come to ask for advice.

So he secretly released the news, saying that these people are cultivating a kind of magic skill that can steal other people's moves, saying that the source sect is a complete demon sect, and these disciples are walking the rivers and lakes in order to steal the mastery of the various sects and Taoist halls.

Fear has united the entire rivers and lakes closely, and although the disciples of the Daoyuan Sect are all extraordinary, they can only retreat in the face of such a turbulent tide.

In the end, the masters of the major factions gathered together and forced these more than ten exhausted Daoyuan Sect disciples into a desperate situation, and they were about to succeed, and the great grandmaster who had lived in seclusion for more than 30 years came out.

Most of the masters of his era could no longer hold swords, but this one was as bloody as a dragon, and the true qi in his body seemed to be inexhaustible.

With his own strength, he pressed the entire Demon Eradication Alliance to be unable to raise its head.

The master who is known as the top in the rivers and lakes, he can't walk Sanhe in front of him, if he really has bad intentions, that day will be the darkest in the Xuanling cultivation world.

But the great master is not a true demon, let alone a killing ring, after forcing everyone back, he summoned his disciples to him, telling everyone that these disciples are orphans he picked up from the bottom of the mountain, and they have been cultivating since childhood, and before going down the mountain, they have not taught them any techniques except for the channeling technique.

It's just that let them cultivate the Yuan Qi and penetrate the meridians, and after the meridians of the whole body are connected, no matter what kind of exercises and secret techniques, they are all proficient in one day and proficient in three days.

Although the duration of basic cultivation is extended, the upper limit of practitioners will also be increased.

This is the result of his vision 30 years ago.

It was that battle that forever changed a cultivator's perception of cultivation.

After thirty years of precipitation, the royal path or the evil path has become clear, and even the most stubborn cultivator has to admit that this way of practicing has its own uniqueness.

However, the excessively long cultivation time still discouraged the cultivators at that time.

After all, you have to tell a group of people with an average age of only seventy or eighty years old that you need to use thirty years to penetrate the meridians of the whole body before learning martial arts.

After completing the study, I'm afraid the daylily will be cold!

So even if they knew that this method was good, not many people were willing to try it at that time, but most of them were ridiculed.

But as time went on, things started to change again.

The people of the rivers and lakes found that the great master of the Daoyuan Sect didn't seem to be aging!

The top masters of the same generation passed away one after another, and even if they were still alive, they couldn't do it, but the great master of the Daoyuan Sect was still as strong as a dragon, and his strength was unfathomable.

And the same is true of the original disciples of the Daoyuan Sect, it stands to reason that the masters of the rivers and lakes will begin to decay their qi and blood at the age of sixty, but the disciples of the Daoyuan Sect don't seem to know about the decay of qi and blood at all.

It is also at this time that everyone realizes that the benefits of penetrating the meridians of the whole body as soon as possible are not just faster in practicing the exercises.

Since then, all the top sects in the Xuan Spirit Realm have begun to adjust their cultivation strategies.

In the end, the leaders of several top forces in the world jointly went to the Daoyuan Sect to ask for advice, and after asking the great master for three days and three nights, they set the path of the cultivation of the Feeling Qi - Tongmai, which has been used to this day.

And it turns out that this step also really distinguishes between fighting and cultivating.

Since then, there have been people who have touched the door to the next realm, and although the entire generation has not escaped the shackles of true qi, they are also on the right path.

Especially the great grandmaster, the founder of the Daoyuan Sect, although he could not go further because of the limitation of generations, he was also respected as a third-class true immortal by later generations.

This title is not only because he has set the path of enlightenment - the smooth path of cultivation through the pulse.

What's more, because this great master who only cultivates true qi finally lived three Jiazi and survived five or six generations, and the juniors on the rivers and lakes no longer know how to call him, only to respect him as an immortal.

The forging path that Zhou Shang is practicing now is laid by that Sanjia True Immortal, but with the deduction of time, today's practice method is also different from that of ancient times.

In ancient times, the meridians were thought to be through, referring to the passage of the twelve canons and eight strange veins, and the true qi traveled throughout the body and circulated throughout the week, but with the progress of the theory of cultivation, this theory has also been eliminated.

The current cultivation circles believe that where there is blood Liu Fu, it is where the meridians are located, and the subtleties also have their use.

Of course, in the realm where he has just felt angry for a long time next week, it is still too far to talk about any size of Zhou Tian.

What he wants to do now is nothing more than to use his own Yuan Qi to rush the Hand Yin Pericardial Sutra in the Three Yin Sutras.

Why do you choose to rush this meridian, because this meridian starts in the chest, Qi out of the pericardium, down through the transverse muscle, go to the rib Tianchi acupoint, along the inner midline of the upper limb into the elbow, over the wrist, to the palm.

According to Zhou Shang's analysis of Lou Hong's splitting palm power, only one of the twelve canons can support such a Yuan Qi outbreak.

Of course, there may be other meridians to assist, but this one is certainly the main one.

What's even more enjoyable is that this Hand Yin Pericardial Sutra has only nine acupoints, and except for the first acupoint Tianchi on the upper part of the chest, the other eight acupoints are all distributed on the inner side of the upper limbs.

Highlight a point less, the effect is large, and it is also durable.

What's more, Zhou Shang also wanted to confirm one thing through Yuan Qi Chong's acupoint.

There are many benefits and reasons, but now he has no habit of procrastinating, and immediately decided to find a secluded place to act.

After walking around the village, Zhou Shang finally chose the edge of the barren mountain grave.

At this time, no one would run to the grave to perfectly comply with his request for seclusion.

I found a big tree in the shade of the grave and sat down, and was about to rush to the cave when I heard movement from the grave, and the voice was inexplicably familiar.

"Mother, Xiaobai has come to see you."

In the meantime, Shen Chi came to his mother's grave, put down the food basket in his hand, and began to repair the weeds for the deserted grave.

The baby's face was full of sadness, and while pulling weeds, he confided in his favorite people about the past over the years, "Mother, Xiaobai has grown up, and he has traveled a lot of places over the years, and he eats enough every day." ”

After clearing the weeds around the tomb, Shen Chi knelt down in front of the tomb and placed the offerings in the food basket in front of the tomb in turn, his eyes were red.

"Xiaobai misses you so much, but I didn't do what you asked, Xiaobai never dared to come back."

"Mother, do you know, I have to blame you several times when others bully me. There is no craft in the world that can make the villagers live a good life. If you are good to others first, they will be good to you. Mother, are you lying to Xiaobai, or no one outside has a mother. ”

"It wasn't until I met the owner that Xiaobai knew that his mother didn't deceive people, the owner was different from all the other owners, he wouldn't bully his guys, and he was very generous."

"Mother, Xiao Bai is now the head of the caravan, and the people in the caravan are very good to Xiao Bai, especially Captain Zhou..."

"Mother, Xiaobai promised you that you will definitely let the villagers live a good life, Xiaobai will definitely do it, mother, will you be proud of Xiaobai?"

"Mother, Xiaobai misses you so much, I miss you so much, woo woo woo."
