Chapter 3 The Way of Cultivation

I saw a bamboo chair at the door, on which sat a young man in black about twenty years old, and an unfamiliar hat hung on the wall.

The man had a gray package on his shoulder, a thin figure, a handsome and gentle appearance, white cheeks, two long eyebrows hanging from his eyes, and he had just torn off a piece of dried meat from his hand and was chewing it in his mouth.

Under the rainproof wooden shed on one side, the firewood at the bottom of the earthen stove used for cooking has been lit, and a few black gray and white smoke and dust have drifted up in the wind.

Zhao Qing smelled the smell, only smelled the faint fragrance of chestnut rice, and there was no smell of blood, combined with the scene at the door, it can be roughly inferred that this person should have just occupied her house to cook rice, and her mother was not in danger.

However, it is not certain that a person who sells well may also be a robber.

She reached out and grabbed two handfuls of dust on the ground and wiped them on her face, lowering some of her appearance, and then quietly returned to the courtyard gate, pushing the door in.

The young man poured a big mouthful of water, his cheeks bulged, he was swallowing jerky, and when he saw Zhao Qing coming back, he looked a little embarrassed: "Hello girl, I will stay at your house for a day, can you agree?" Burst! cough cough cough cough ......"

He was carrying jerky in one hand and covering his mouth with the other, which was choked by water.

How does it look like a happy horn? Also crepe.

Zhao Qing gently knocked the ground with a bamboo stick, and said lightly: "If you come uninvited, if you want to stay overnight, you have to pay at least some fees, there is no reason to eat and live for nothing." "It's a temporary promise.

According to the other party's performance just now, she judged that even if this person had martial arts, he was far inferior to herself, otherwise she would not have made such an ugly appearance, it seemed that she was too cautious.

Since it is not his opponent, there is no need to worry too much, just stay for a day, it is not a big problem.

"I'll pay for it."

The young man unwrapped his body, took out a flat gold cake and a delicate bronze dagger, and with two strokes of his hand, he tore off a piece of gold the size of a soybean.

In today's world, pearl and jade are the upper currency, gold is the middle currency, and copper is the lower currency, and such a small piece of gold is worth fifty or sixty large coins, which is equivalent to the total income of the common people for a year.

Where did the rich kid come from, so rich? Originally, I only expected the young man to give me a small coin or two, or get a piece of jerky.

Zhao Qing's eyes drooped, suppressed the shock and joy in his heart, quietly reached out to take it, and went straight back to the house to check on Zhao's mother's situation.

In her previous life, she grew up in an orphanage, and she had no relatives and friends to accompany her, and the weight of her mother in this life was heavier than gold in her heart.

Pushing open the door, I saw a middle-aged woman covered with a gray-yellow kudzu cloth quilt and her eyes closed on the bed, describing her emaciated and pale face.

is in his thirties, but he already has a lot of wrinkles, showing a bit of old age.

After hearing the sound, Rui Xi opened her eyes, sat up hard, and looked at her daughter beside the bed.

Zhao Qing took off the hand towel hanging on the wall and wiped the ashes off his face, and greeted softly: "Mother, are you okay?" ”

"Ah Qing, don't worry, Grandma is fine. Have you seen the nonsense outside? ”

"Zhuji? And this kind of surname? "Only the sons of the princes of the Spring and Autumn Period can be called sons, and those below them generally call them by their first names, and they can also bring their surnames.

It seems that this person has greeted his mother and agreed to stay overnight. Zhao Qing muttered casually, and said in his heart that this surname is really not as good as "Zhuge ".

"I've seen it. Mother, what's the matter? ”

Without saying goodbye, he came to stay at home, and his mother agreed. Ah Qing, my mother knows that you like to practice sticks and exercise your body on weekdays, so I mentioned a few words to him. Needless to say, his kung fu is very good, and he wants to guide you. After dinner, Ah Qing, you can ask him for advice. ”

Rui Xi said softly, revealing a look of sincere expectation, which was difficult to tactfully.

She has been bedridden for many years, and has always thought that she has not been able to support the family, but has become a drag, so she feels guilty about her daughter, and can only hope that she can gain something in the things she loves and achieve what she wants.

"Hmm, please?" Ask someone who can't fully control their body and can even choke on eating and drinking? Zhao Qing said that it was a little difficult for himself, but for the sake of the other party's gold and his mother, he still had to reluctantly deal with this nonsense.

But then again, my mother mentioned two sentences and was she going to give you some advice? Such a good teacher?

Zhao Qing thought about it, and set up a wooden stake in the backyard for practice, and there were many traces left on it. Perhaps this man saw something, and it was not as innocent as it appeared.

However, the other party's family background is obviously very good, and it is estimated that he was born in a real big city, so he should know a lot of news. If there is really anything valuable, I will not learn from him in vain, and it is a big deal to return the gold to him.

She nodded to Mother Zhao, helped to sort out the quilt briefly, turned to leave, and went to take care of the earthen stove that was cooking outside.

……

When the meal was cooked, the three of them simply ate a meal.

Zhao Qing first went out to retrieve the roe deer corpse, peeled off the skin, cleaned up the internal organs, hung it on a wooden rack in the yard to dry, and then put the clay pots and other tableware used to hold corn and rice during the meal in a bamboo basket, and carried it to the stream to be cleaned.

The sky is getting late, the stream is cool, clear to the bottom, the ripples at the beginning of the flood, and a crescent moon has hung on the treetops.

The girl squatted lightly at the water's edge, the breeze blowing a few strands of green silk, and the sleeves and straps of the light green cloth shirt hung low, almost touching the water.

He paced behind her, and fanned the wind vigorously with his hat, perhaps because he had nothing to do, and went out for a walk to pass the time.

"Are you from Huiji City or where? I heard you can teach me kung fu? ”

The children of rich families do not stay at home to enjoy life, they have traveled hundreds of thousands of miles alone, and come to remote mountains and wilderness for no reason, Zhao Qing does not believe it, this person must have his own reasons.

But she didn't have to ask why, who knows what might be in trouble? However, "guiding kung fu" was said before, and there should be no trouble.

But it's still strange to take the initiative to teach people with such kindness, in the era of clear hierarchies, there will never be any ideals for anyone to pass on the world.

"Those who practice have no fixed place to live...... Actually, I really want to point out to you, girl. ”

"Tell me about it?" Could it be that you see my top qualifications? However, I always felt that the style of painting had suddenly changed, and Zhao Qing thought casually while putting the washed tableware back into the bamboo basket one by one.

"The way of cultivation has existed since ancient times, and it has been around for tens of thousands of years. There have been nests, Suiren, Fuxi, Guangcheng, Qibo sages, Emperor Jun, Taihao, Shennong, Zhurong, Gonggong Emperors, to Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor and Dacheng, written in the Book of Heaven to describe it, also known as 'Yin and Yang Gangshen, Six Qi Derivation'. ”

"'Yin and Yang Gang Shen', that is, Yin Jin, Yang Jin, Hua Jin, Gang Jin, Shen Jin;' 'Six Qi Evolution' is divided into the lower six qi, the middle six qi, the upper six qi, the heavenly yan, and the creation. ”

"The way to practice strength is martial arts and martial arts...... Once the strength is cleared, the power of heaven and earth can be controlled, and the practice of 'one mind and six qi' can be contacted. ”

"As long as you cultivate any of the 'lower six qi', you will initially have the ability to fly to the heavens and the earth...... In the legend, the power of cultivating the realm of creation has the ability to divide rivers and seas, pick stars and catch the moon. ”

"But each of these realms is not absolute, in addition to the way of the martial artist who cultivates strength first, there are also schools that focus on qi refining, which are called qi refiners......"
