236 Refining Body
In fact, it is no wonder that Lu Miaozi was so surprised.
Even Meng Xiuyuan himself was quite pleased with his entry into the body refining at this moment.
The muscles and bones are solid like iron, the qi and blood are rushing like a flood, the qi of the five organs is vigorous, and the meridians are wide and smooth.
There is unimaginable power in the thin little body.
In terms of physical strength alone, he was only eight or nine years old at the moment, but he had already surpassed the final state before the reincarnation in his previous life.
The reason for such an achievement is not only due to the comprehension of the mysteries of the human body in the white light before reincarnation, but also from Meng Xiuyuan's persistence.
You must know that with Meng Xiuyuan's situation at this time, if he wants to recover his strength as soon as possible, he must be the same as in his previous life, and first try his best to refine his true qi with "Northern Spiritual Skill".
But in a few months, Meng Xiuyuan not only did not have the slightest trace of true qi stored in his body, but almost used up all the subtleties of the vitality that he carried from his reincarnation.
There are reasons for such an radical choice of cultivation route.
A few months ago, when he had just seen through the mystery in the womb, Meng Xiuyuan had already realized that the world he lived in in this life was very different from his previous two lives.
Although he was reincarnated as a human being, his Northern Soul True Qi no longer existed, but with the experience and feeling left by his cultivation in his previous life, as well as the spirit that was still clear and vigorous, Meng Xiuyuan could vaguely feel that between this heaven and earth, there was an endless amount of "Pure Spirit Qi".
There is no need to look for any famous mountains and rivers, caves and blessed lands, just in this inconspicuous Jiangnan town, Meng Xiuyuan experienced that familiar feeling.
When he first noticed this, Meng Xiuyuan's heart was excited, only that in this life, the sea is wide and the sky is high and the birds can fly, and there is no need to worry about the lack of aura, and the future is unlimited.
But after calming down a little, Meng Xiuyuan felt a lot of pressure.
After all, the aura of this world is not only supplied to him.
Even in that peaceful town restaurant, Meng Xiuyuan ushered in the delivery every day, and he could see many practitioners hurrying with knives, guns and sticks. Obviously, compared to the previous two lives, the practice of martial arts here is more prosperous.
It can be expected that the overall martial arts level in this life will definitely be much stronger. Among the rivers and lakes that have not yet set foot, there must be masters and heroes.
To be cautious, if Meng Xiuyuan only recovers to the level of his previous life, he may not be able to excel in it.
Meng Xiuyuan's personality is not very good at winning, but he has been a peerless master in two lifetimes, and he is used to doing whatever he wants. It is too difficult for him to be subservient to others and live a careful life.
For this reason, Meng Xiuyuan thought about it for a long time, and finally came up with a long-term plan, that is, the first step was to lay a solid foundation first, and put all the subtleties of the Yuan Qi brought by the reincarnation into the tempering of the body.
After all, if it is said that there is a distinction between superior and inferior methods of qi training, what Meng Xiuyuan learned in his previous life may not be comparable to the profound and profound martial arts in this world. If there is a chance in the future, Meng Xiuyuan may turn to the secret methods of divine skills in this world.
But the body is the foundation of martial arts, this is the truth that is common everywhere, Meng Xiuyuan will not be wrong to cast a strong body at this time.
As a result, Meng Xiuyuan began to practice hard day and night, and for several months, he did not dare to relax in the slightest. I'm afraid that a little laziness now will make it difficult to make up for the future effort.
Unexpectedly, when he met this Mr. Lu Miaozi today, Meng Xiuyuan realized that he seemed to be a little too anxious.
"You're ...... It turned out to be ......"
Lu Miaozi pointed at Meng Xiuyuan, choked for a long time, and still did not say the next words. But his eyes were shocked beyond measure, but they could be regarded as clarifying the unfinished words.
"Sir, isn't it common to have a physique like me?"
Meng Xiuyuan didn't know much about the overall martial arts level of this Tang world, and he always wanted to collect more relevant information. After hearing what Lu Miaozi said before, and knowing that he seemed to have a deep relationship with the masters in the rivers and lakes, he couldn't help but ask.
"It's not just an uncommon ......"
As Lu Miaozi spoke, a pair of eyes swept Meng Xiuyuan up and down, and it was difficult to move away for a long time:
"I, Lu Miaozi, have read countless people in my life, but I have never seen such an anomaly as you.
You must know that no matter how exquisite a person's moves are and how mysterious his realm is, if he wants to become a master of the rivers and lakes, he is indispensable to be supported by a majestic true qi.
Although I was so distracted by miscellaneous studies because of my wide range of interests, I was unable to go into the deep realm of martial arts.
But even great grandmasters like Ning Daoqi and Bi Xuan don't dare to say that they don't need true qi and can defeat me with the strength of their physical bodies alone......"
Lu Miaozi is known as "the world's first craftsman", with a noble status and a somewhat arrogant personality.
In the past, even in the face of the world's first-class powerhouses, he was neither humble nor arrogant, and his expression was indifferent.
Today, I met Meng Xiuyuan, an eight- or nine-year-old child, and finished all the good things he hadn't said in his life. And after saying it, it is still not enough to describe the surprise in my heart.
When Meng Xiuyuan heard this, he was quite surprised, nodded with a smile, and didn't want to worry about the offense with this old man.
"Sir, thank you for helping me many times today.
Say goodbye to it. ”
With a light gesture, Meng Xiuyuan immediately turned around.
"Little brother, slow ......"
Lu Miaozi saw that Meng Xiuyuan was leaving, so he hurriedly wanted to say something to stop him, but he was still half a step slower.
Hearing a "bang" sound, the land cracked, and the dust and smoke were everywhere, and Meng Xiuyuan's figure had already shot away into the distance. In a leap, it was more than ten zhang away.
After a few ups and downs, the small figure had disappeared into the distant wilderness.
……
Cuishan Town, ushered in a restaurant.
In the thick twilight, the shop had long since closed, but there was still a noisy shouting among them.
"What, you kid are leaving?! I don't know what to do! ”
Boss Zhang's body was thin, but his voice was not small, and he stared at Meng Xiuyuan with a pair of eyes, and howled in disbelief:
"I will not eat or drink against you, nor will I beat or abuse you when you work with me
Where do you look for such a good thing?
Is it because I don't pay you that you're leaving?
What a visionary boy......"
Sister-in-law Zhang, the proprietress on the side, couldn't help but persuade softly:
"Brother Meng, don't be impulsive
Although Lao Zhang's words are not good, there is still some truth in what he said.
Now that there is a panic outside, where can you go at such a young age?
If you want money, just come to me and withdraw it......"
Before Sister-in-law Zhang finished speaking, she was interrupted angrily by Boss Zhang on the side:
"What kind of money, did you ask me?!
Do you know that this kid still owes us three thousand dollars?
Besides, he's a little kid, what's the use of holding money......"
However, while speaking, Boss Zhang glanced at Meng Xiuyuan, who had already packed up his burden and carried it on his shoulders, and saw that he seemed to have made up his mind, and couldn't help but feel a little anxious. After hesitating for a moment, he finally gritted his teeth and said:
"Okay, boy Meng, I admit it.
I really like you, you are a smart, hard-working person.
In this way, I promise you that from this day forward, I will save your wages for you, and it will be regarded as the money for the purchase of this restaurant.
After ten years, your sister-in-law and I can't do anything anymore, so I will hand over this restaurant to you and Yongzi to take care of together.
As long as you help him work hard, it will not be a problem to marry a wife and have children, buy a house and land in the future.
If you don't believe me, we can sign and ask the mayor to act as a guarantee......"
When Meng Xiuyuan heard this, he not only said that Boss Zhang, who has always been shrewd and calculating, seemed quite atmospheric this time, and it seemed that he really valued himself.
Shaking his head with a smile, he arched his hand at the two of them and said politely:
"The shopkeeper, the proprietress and the hostess, thank you for taking in these few months.
But I do have something to do, and I don't want to stay here to work......"
While he was talking, he heard the hurried footsteps of "dong dong dong" coming from upstairs, looking for prestige, it was the young son of the old couple Yongzi.
"Brother Meng, Brother Meng, do you really want to leave......"
Yongzi rushed over, pulling Meng Xiuyuan's sleeve tightly, very reluctant.
Meng Xiuyuan is easy-going, has a wide range of conversations and is interesting, and has always been quite popular with children. In a few months, this little boy, who was only one or two years younger than Meng Xiuyuan, had already regarded him as a good friend.
When Meng Xiuyuan heard this, he patted Yongzi on the shoulder with a smile, and did not answer, but said to Lao Zhang and his wife:
"One last thing, shopkeeper, I need to remind you.
The proprietress was pale, and the pulse in her right hand was weak and astringent, obviously with some lung disease.
It doesn't matter in a short time, but if it drags on for a long time, it will become a big deal.
If you want me to say, it's better to take her to see Lang Zhong as soon as possible recently.
And don't go to the quack doctor in the town to save money, it's better to go to the city. ”
After speaking, without waiting for the two of them to ask more, Meng Xiuyuan bowed again, and then turned around and walked out of the store.
"Hmph, you kid ......"
Boss Zhang was stunned by Meng Xiuyuan's sudden serious appearance, he never thought that this diligent young man in the store would have such knowledge.
Suddenly, he also understood that he couldn't stop Meng Xiuyuan from leaving.
"Wait, Brother Meng, I'll send you......"
Sister-in-law Zhang trotted two steps and caught up with Meng Xiuyuan, who had already walked out of the store. In the corner where Boss Zhang couldn't see, he secretly stuffed Meng Xiuyuan with a small cloth bag:
"Brother Meng, I picked up a few pieces of dry food for you, you can keep it for you to eat on the road.
You're on your own, so be careful. ”
Meng Xiuyuan stretched out his hand and felt that there were not only bread in this bag, but also a few small pieces of broken silver. However, he did not refuse Sister-in-law Zhang's kindness, nodded at her with a smile, thanked her, and left in style.
……
The sky was cloudless, and the moonlight was bright, illuminating the streets of this town with silver light.
Meng Xiuyuan walked the streets, and he had already made plans for the future in his heart.
He was going to buy some necessities for life first, and then he would find a remote mountain forest, hide in it, and first concentrate on cultivation for ten years and eight years.
When the time comes, you will come out to compete with the heroes of this world.
However, as soon as he reached the entrance of the town, he was blocked by a familiar figure.
"Sir, do you have anything else to do with me?"
Meng Xiuyuan looked at Lu Miaozi, who was standing upright, and looked at him by the moonlight, and saw that his face was not hostile, so he didn't pay much attention to it.
"Little brother, I've been waiting for you here for a long time.
Just now, it was really rude for the old man.
However, I still have some things to say......"
Lu Miaozi also ignored the age gap between the two, and bowed sincerely to Meng Xiuyuan.
"In that case, sir, please speak."
Meng Xiuyuan nodded when he saw this, and said indifferently.
Although this Lu Miaozi acted a little inappropriately before, it was only out of self-preservation, and Meng Xiu saw that he had put down his identity and apologized like this, so he didn't want to deal with him.
No, this old Mr. Lu Miaozi said amazingly:
"That's right, little brother, I would like to invite you to my abode.
There are some things I would like to talk to you about......"
Meng Xiuyuan was stunned when he heard this, and his brows furrowed slightly. However, before he could open his mouth to ask, Na Lu Miaozi immediately said again:
"Little brother, I just saw your speech and behavior, but I thought it was a little strange.
You are obviously knowledgeable and knowledgeable, but you don't know anything about the things on the rivers and lakes, and you haven't even heard of my name.
In the same way, not only have you been born with a peerless body, but you also know the skillful martial arts tricks, but you don't have any true qi in your body, and you don't even know much about the 'innate realm' in your inner cultivation.
If my guess is correct, I'm afraid that the hermit master who taught you has only taught you half of it, and he is no longer with you for some reason......"
When Meng Xiuyuan heard this, he stared at Lu Miaozi with a pair of eyes, silently, and waited for his later words.
Lu Miaozi smiled slightly, and then continued:
"Little brother, don't worry, the old man might as well make it clear, I really like you, and I want to make a deal with you.
However, this is not a matter of urgency, and it is not suitable for talking about it on the streets.
As a sign of sincerity, I can send you a piece of internal strength first.
Later, if you have any doubts during your practice, you can also ask me.
Although my kung fu is not superb, it can be seen that my knowledge is not bad.
Answering some of your questions in martial arts is still within the scope of your ability......"
Meng Xiuyuan was slightly stunned when he heard this, but he didn't expect that this Lu Miaozi would say things so directly.
However, now that the words have been spoken, he is not afraid to talk to the other party:
"Sir, politely, it's a good thing that you're willing to instruct me.
I do have a lot of basic knowledge in martial arts, but I still lack some of them.
And when you say that deal, I'm actually quite interested.
It's just that no matter what you want me to do, I don't have much need for most things in this world.
If you want to offer conditions that will impress me, I am afraid it will not be easy. ”
It's not that Meng Xiuyuan looks down on Lu Miaozi, it's just that the other party's martial arts are really not excellent, which makes him have less trust.
"Hahaha, the little brother said to himself, there are really not many things that I Lu Miaozi can't do in this world."
Lu Miaozi smiled when she heard this, and looked at Meng Xiuyuan with a pair of eyes, but she looked quite confident.
"I've heard that there is a miracle called "The Secret of Longevity".
I wonder if the old gentleman can find his news? ”
Meng Xiuyuan was blunt and asked Lu Miaozi.
He said it casually, but he didn't really want to have any response, most of it was just perfunctory to the old gentleman's remarks.
No, Lu Miaozi pondered for a moment when he heard this, and then nodded slowly:
"It doesn't have to be impossible to spend some time......
