Gu Shengchao smiled bitterly: "My dantian is shattered, and I can't cultivate internal strength from now on, I am a wasted person, and I have no worries after the revenge, and the disputes in the rivers and lakes are also indifferent, these so-called cheats are naturally dispensable for me, aren't they?" He asked rhetorically.

The elder nodded in approval, "It's gratifying to have such a mind at a young age, and the old man also admires it." He looked at Gu Shengchao and asked, "Are you going to sink like this and spend the rest of your life in chaos?" ”

Gu Shengchao shook his head and said: "When the great revenge is avenged, I have no worries, I want to die, but after these days of hardship, I have some ideas." ”

"Tell me about it." The elderly's eyes lit up and they were interested.

Gu Shengchao pondered for a moment and said: "It's true that my dantian is damaged, but it doesn't mean that I can't cultivate internal strength, ordinary people need my dantian to gather true qi, can't true qi be gathered through other means?" I've heard that river mussels don't produce pearls in their bodies, but they are deliberately put in foreign objects to create pearls that shine brightly. If I do the same in my body, and let my true qi surround something, maybe I can restore my internal strength and reconnect my meridians. ”

A strange light flashed in the elder's eyes, and in a flash, Gu Shengchao was not aware of it at all while he was contemplating. The elder smiled: "You could have concealed all the past, and I couldn't find out, but you told it all, aren't you afraid that I have bad intentions?" ”

Gu Shengchao said firmly: "The grace of dripping water should be reciprocated by the spring, since the predecessors saved me, it is my reborn parents, let me go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire and die, there is nothing to hide about this little thing." ”

The old man was silent, stood up and paced a few steps inside the house.

Gu Shengchao was surprised to find that the old man's right leg seemed to be disabled, and he could barely walk, and he had to drag his right foot every time he took a step forward with his left foot.

The elder also saw Gu Shengchao's curious eyes, and he said calmly: "The old man was accidentally plotted back then, and he suffered far more damage than you. He then sighed and said, "It's a pity that I didn't become enlightened at first, and I delayed healing my injuries and then I became disabled." ”

Gu Shengchao was pleasantly surprised: "So, without the dantian, you can still cultivate internal strength?" ”

"Do you want to learn?" The elder asked.

Gu Shengchao said without hesitation: "If you want to learn, please accept the juniors as disciples, and never give up." Seeing the elder hesitating, he said in a loud voice, "Master is above, and the disciples bow down." Gu Shengchao struggled to get out of bed and kneel, although his right arm and legs were fixed by the splint, and his left arm moved slightly as if it was broken, he still endured the pain and squirmed and was about to fall off the bamboo bed.

Although the elder has a disability in his right leg, he didn't see a step, and an afterimage flashed and was already standing beside the bed, he stopped Gu Shengchao and said: "That's it, you and I are destined, I will teach you kung fu, but you must not be your master, you just need to remember my surname is Lu Mingchuan, and the rest will be known slowly." ”

"Didn't my predecessors dislike me?" Gu Shengchao was puzzled, lest this elder named Lu Chuan would not take him in.

Lu Chuan sighed and said: "This matter is a long story, you will slowly and always understand, in short, it makes sense that I don't accept you as a vain, and I don't mean to despise you, you can practice with me with peace of mind." ”

Gu Shengchao was grateful, his eyes were full of tears and he couldn't speak.

Lu Chuan thought for a while and groaned: "Listen, the dantian is originally the place where the true qi is gathered, and it is also the source of the true qi, and ordinary people are of course wasted people without the dantian." Fortunately, I have created a set of 'Five Soul Arrays', with the sword as the soul, and the five swords form a five-element array in the dantian, so that the true qi cultivated can gather in the array, and with qi, the meridians around the body will naturally penetrate. With repeated cultivation like this, the formation replaced the dantian, and the internal force was just around the corner. ”

With words in his mouth, his right palm suddenly slapped on the bamboo bed, and Gu Shengchao hung in the air, and his body slowly rotated. Lu Chuan pinched him, waved his big hand, and five swords appeared in his left palm, the size of an embroidery needle. He stretched out a finger of his right hand, and pointed all the way down from the Gusheng Chaocheng Pulp Acupoint and Lianquan Acupoint to the Qugu and Perineal Acupoints, and then quickly from the Gum Jiao Acupoint to the Changqiang Acupoint.

Gu Shengchao was feeling indescribable comfort all over his body, Lu Chuan's left palm slammed on his Guan Yuan acupoint, and the five small swords forced into his body with internal force. Gu Shengchao had a cramping pain in his abdomen, fell from the air, and lay down on the bamboo bed again, he was like ten thousand ants devouring his heart, his body seemed to be broken into countless pieces, and he was in pain. Lu Chuan's palm was protected on his Baihui acupoint, and the true qi was continuously transmitted into it, alleviating Gu Shengchao's pain.

After about a stick of incense, Gu Shengchao's body changed from pain to unbearable itching, he couldn't hold back his moans, and the beads of sweat on his forehead gathered together and trickled down from his ears. After another half a cup of tea, he finally returned to normal.

Lu Chuan also let out a sigh of relief, and his palm left from the top of Gu Shengchao's head. He slowly came to the table and picked up the teacup, because he had consumed too much internal force just now, his body collapsed badly, one hand trembled and he couldn't hold it steadily, the teacup shook and spilled most of it, so he had to hold it with both hands and barely drink a few sips.

Gu Shengchao saw it in his eyes, tears welled up, and he was moved: "My predecessors are as kind to me as a mountain, and my Gu Shengchao will be a cow and a horse in the future, and I will never live up to the kindness of my predecessors." ”

"You are so good to live and recuperate, I will teach you the mental method tomorrow." Lu Chuan waved his hand and staggered out.

Gu Shengchao was grateful, he never expected to meet a noble person in this place, and the Grand Duke was selfless to help him recover his strength.

The long night was long, Gu Shengchao's body was fixed by the splint and could not move, and he was tormented, and when he saw Lu Chuan again at dawn, he couldn't wait: "Senior, please untie the splint on the junior, the junior can't hold it back." ”

"What's the hurry, when the bones are fully recovered, the old man will naturally remove them for you, it's still too early." Lu Chuan acted as usual, without yesterday's decadent appearance, he said unhurriedly.

Gu Shengchao's face turned red: "Please forgive me, seniors, I want to pee, I can't hold it anymore." ”

Lu Chuan laughed, "What's so difficult about this?" With a pull of his left hand, the toilet under the bed was sucked by internal force, and the halberd in his right hand slowly grabbed Gu Shengchao in the air and faced the toilet. That's it! Lu Chuan laughed and joked.

Gu Shengchao had never been so embarrassed, and to relieve himself in mid-air, he had to stretch out his left hand and lift his robe. He was amazed to find that his left arm, which seemed to be broken yesterday, was able to move freely today, and although it was still painful, it was bearable. After the convenience was completed, Lu Chuan put on his hand, and Gu Shengchao lay down on the bed again.

Lu Chuan sat next to Gu Shengchao, pinched the acupuncture points around his body, and nodded with satisfaction: "It's still good to be young, it's different to recover." I planted five swords in your dantian yesterday, and I input internal force to help stabilize the formation, and the rest is all up to you to cultivate. Lu Chuan got up and made a pot of tea, took a sip and said slowly: "Your current dantian is blocked, the true qi cannot be penetrated freely, the qi is stagnant and blocked, you will inevitably hurt yourself, and you will feel unbearable abdominal distension and pain with a little internal force, right?" ”

Gu Shengchao suddenly realized, and nodded hurriedly, "What the senior said is true. ”

Lu Chuan said loudly: "You listen well, you must keep it in mind." The dantian is closed, the body is open, the seal hall is tight, the hundred will come, the sea of qi is leisurely and let it go, and the center is swinging but it has to be picked ......"

At this moment, the red sun is rising, the glow of the sun reflects the mountain peaks, and the birds outside the house are chirping happily, adding a bit of life to the silent hut.

Lu Chuan spoke unhurriedly, stopping every short paragraph, asking Gu Shengchao to repeat it, and if there was any omission, he would come again, and so on, to ensure that Gu Shengchao could write it down word for word. It was almost noon and the teaching was finished. Lu Chuan simply cooked some rice and pumpkin, and brought the two of them to lunch. After eating, Lu Chuan is going to take a lunch break, don't be anxious to settle Gu Shengchao, as long as you practice hard, you will definitely be able to make a breakthrough.

Gu Shengchao was afraid that he would forget, how dare he sleep, he recited it repeatedly in his mind to ensure that he was proficient. It's just that the meaning is not clear a lot, he doesn't care so much, just concentrate on memorizing.

In the afternoon, Lu Chuan shook the pu fan and came in, and said with a smile: "It's cold, damp and cold here, have you slept well at noon?" ”

Gu Shengchao said truthfully: "The mantra taught by the seniors to the younger generations is too profound, and the younger generations can't understand it for a while, and they are afraid of forgetting, how dare they fall asleep at noon, just memorize it repeatedly." ”

"Then you can recite it again?" Lu Chuan said happily.

Gu Shengchao adjusted his breath and narrated it completely from beginning to end. Lu Chuan raised his eyebrows and said approvingly: "Yes, it's not in vain for my hard work." But I don't get tired of it, so I'll explain the beginning first, and I'll tell you the rest paragraph by paragraph. He immediately carefully taught the first content of the formula, so that Gu Shengchao could gradually comprehend it.

In this way, on the third day, Gu Shengchao was finally able to see his dantian inward, and the five swords were like flying dragons in the sky, forming a formation to hover and guard around the true qi, ensuring that his thin true qi was connected to the meridians one by one. He moved his left arm, and there was no longer any pain, and he begged Lu Chuan: "Can the junior remove the splint on his own, so that it is convenient for the limbs to move, and he can practice better." ”

Lu Chuan shook his head and refused: "No, as long as you practice hard, you will have the moment to be lifted." ”

Gu Shengchao didn't understand what medicine was sold in Lu Chuan's gourd, and knew that it was for his own good, so he doubled his practice. Five days later, Lu Chuan taught all the formulas to Gu Shengchao, and he was grateful, so he could only cultivate hard.

At dawn on the seventh day, Gu Shengchao woke up early and slowly slowed down his luck according to the mantra taught by Lu Chuan, and his true qi entered the meridians from the sword array, and after slowly running a circle, he returned to the sword formation again. After a few cycles, the true qi gradually increased, and Gu Shengchao only felt that his abdomen was expanding, and there was enough breath to gush out, and his whole body seemed to have inexhaustible strength. He tried his best to control it but couldn't bear it, and finally screamed, and the internal force erupted, and the splints that held his body were shaken away, and wood chips flew everywhere.

Gu Shengchao jumped to his feet, there was no big problem in moving his limbs, he was extremely excited, and rushed out of the hut.

Lu Chuan also happened to get up and stand under the eaves to practice luck, Gu Shengchao knelt down and thanked him: "Thank you for the guidance of the seniors, the younger generations can be reborn, please accept the disciples as apprentices." ”

Gu Shengchao respectfully kowtowed three times, Lu Chuan did not stop him, he smiled and said: "I just like your frankness and honesty when I teach you kung fu, you have already leveled it out when you bow down to me, and we don't owe each other." It's better to be exempt from apprenticeship, it's a good thing for you and me, and you will definitely understand it in the future. ”
