Chapter 5 Repaying the Favor
As the hazy light descended, Xia Qi returned to the real world.
"Then the golden horn will send Daoyou here, if there is anything important, just call my name."
The voice of the Golden Horn Boy sounded in his ears, Xia Qi nodded slightly, saluted towards the void, said goodbye to the Golden Horn Boy, and walked towards the previous market.
Walking on the avenue, Xia Qi seemed to think of something, and his heart moved, and the Tai Chi Taoist robe on his body suddenly blurred, and finally transformed into a set of linen cloth that was no different from the pedestrians he had seen before.
Xia Qi looked at himself and nodded with satisfaction. In this way, at least in terms of dressing, there is nothing special about it.
After doing this, Xia Qi put his hands behind his back and walked forward leisurely, quite like a bamboo cane and mango shoes beating a horse.
Who will see the big dream? I know it all my life.
…………
As he returned from traveling between the two realms, time in the real world had changed, from noon to early morning.
At this time, the sky was slightly bright, the wind was cold and fresh, Xia Qi did not hurry, walked slowly on the avenue, and thought silently while enjoying the scenery along the way.
This time, his goal of going to Wuchao to meet Lu Jian Daojun has been successfully achieved, not only has he obtained many peerless inheritances of the Jade Void lineage, but also several famous immortal magic weapons and divine weapons in the battle of the gods, which are also unexpected joys.
In this way, his cultivation and Dao protection resources in the future will no longer be a problem.
And after that, if you refer to the timeline of the original book, there should be about nine months left for him to practice martial arts, and then he will participate in the reincarnation mission about the "Hidden Emperor Castle" in the Six Realms of Reincarnation, and use this to unite with the protagonist who is trapped in reincarnation.
And with his current qualifications and understanding, I believe that in these nine months, it is completely enough for him to grow into a martial artist in the stage of accumulation and even enlightenment.
…………
As for what exactly he should do after returning to the real world, Xia Qi actually already had a plan in his heart.
The first thing he wanted to do now was to find the merchant he had asked for directions earlier.
If it weren't for the information revealed to him in his enthusiastic answer, Xia Qi would not have recognized which world this was so quickly, so as to get the current Tianhu start.
Now that he has hugged the thigh of Daode Tianzun and obtained so many good things from Lu Quan, it is also his right intention to share some benefits to repay this benefactor.
…………
After a short time, Xia Qi returned to the market and began to look around.
Merchants come and go here, and most of the vendors and traders get up early and start busy in their own places.
After looking around, Xia Qi quickly spotted the merchant he had met before.
"Brother, I didn't expect us to meet again." Xia Qi walked to the merchant who was loading goods in a corner of the bazaar, and said with a smile.
“…… Yes! It's you, the afterlife, why did you come back? ”
The merchant stopped what he was doing and looked up, and asked in surprise after seeing that it was Xia Qi, who was dressed up and impressed him.
Xia Qi nodded, and said:
"I actually encountered some trouble before, so I had to ask my brother for directions. And what my brother replied to me earlier was very helpful to me. So when I came back after solving the troubles this time, I actually wanted to repay you for your kindness to the next day of puzzles. ”
"As a thank you, I want to teach you a martial art, I wonder if you would like to?"
The merchant was taken aback when he heard this, and when he looked at Xia Qi's handsome face again, he suddenly found that although the person in front of him had the same appearance as in his memory, it was completely different from the impression he had given him a few days ago, and seemed to show an unprecedented temperament.
Although Xia Qi is now dressed in coarse linen clothes, after experiencing rebirth, there is still a pure spirit on his body that has not faded, and he seems to be spotless, like an immortal.
Such a strange thing suddenly made the merchant who was carefully observing Xia Qi feel that he was unfathomable, thinking that this was the effect that Xia Qi had shown to him as a martial arts master, and subconsciously believed his words.
He looked down and thought for a long time, and finally stumbled carefully to reply:
"Uh... Sir, I don't think I can do this valuable return, and I still have a daughter-in-law and a sick father at home, and I need to sell goods to support myself, I'm afraid there is no way to practice martial arts with you. If you can give me some money to make my family's life better, I will be satisfied. ”
Really.
Xia Qi didn't expect that his abrupt proposal would be rejected, but he was penniless at the moment, and it was a question of where to go to eat later, and he really only had peerless magic skills left to give away.
You can't just go and sell the exercises to raise money, right?
After a little silence, he looked at the merchant who was looking at him with a blank eye, and comforted: "Don't excuse yourself like this, since you have financial difficulties, then so be it, I will stay with you for a few days, be responsible for your family's expenses, and then guide you and your family and children to learn martial arts together." ”
"Don't worry, I don't have any enemies now, and nothing will implicate you. As for how long this period will be, I will probably stay until you are at the beginning of your martial arts and you are able to practice the exercises I have passed on to you on your own. ”
Hearing Xia Qidu say this, the merchant really couldn't find a reason to refuse, and couldn't help but be happy: "How to make this, how to make it!" Oops, I almost forgot to say, my name is Zhang He, I don't know your surname? ”
Xia Qi raised the corners of his mouth lightly and smiled: "You are like now, just call me 'sir'." ”
…………
Ten days later.
"What I'm going to tell you today is the five stages of martial arts cultivation, which are opening the pulse, storing qi, opening the body, external scenes, and the Dharma body."
"Now you are in the stage of opening the pulse, which is the first step of martial arts practice, which is called '100 days of foundation building' in the Taoist gate, and 'self-cultivation in the concentration of the body' in the Buddhist gate."
"But whether it is Taoist meditation or Buddhist meditation, it is similar to the world's 'opening pulse', which is for the initial passage of qi and veins, and strengthens the mind and body."
"This realm lays the foundation of martial arts practice, the so-called '100 days to build the foundation', which is normally speaking, within 100 days, the meridians and qi of Ren Du and other meridians are full of self-opening;
“……”
In the fence yard of Zhang He's house, Xia Qizheng was sitting cross-legged on a flat big stone, and there were two big and two old and one small five people sitting on the ground in front of him, it was the merchant Zhang He and his family of five, and they had all been pulled by him to listen to him explain the specific cultivation content of martial arts in the past few days.
As for Xia Qi himself, he had successfully completed the step of opening the pulse through the relevant knowledge of cultivation in his content that had been passed on to him by Daode Tianzun in the past few days.
After the two creations of "Moral Pure Spiritual Qi" and "Pure Spring", after Xia Qi began to cultivate, the speed of true qi transformation was as fast as "pumping", which was very different from the slow "dripping" cultivation progress of Zhang He's family.
Now that ten days have passed, the 365 acupoints around him have all been filled with the true qi that has been cultivated, reaching the point where the qi is full and the meridians are all connected, and he can already start the next stage of qi accumulation.
On the other hand, Zhang He and the others are still in the difficult entry stage, mainly because the qualifications of these five people are very ordinary, and four of them have already passed the age of cultivation, so it is difficult to even calm their minds.
Xia Qi was also quite nerve-wracking about this, but fortunately, he didn't give up at the first time, and after trying, Xia Qi now found a way to ensure that they successfully completed the opening of the pulse.
The answer lies in the Tai Chi robe on his body.
Xia Qi found that even if this robe was worn by others, it could also exert its effect of moral education, making it easy for people to enter the deep level of cultivation and thus get twice the result with half the effort.
The principle is also very simple, each divine weapon is made of special things containing legal principles to be successfully refined, the material itself has a miraculous nature, and the one given by the Golden Horn Boy is refined by the main material of "moral qi", which belongs to the rarest category.
After all, morality is the source of all the laws in this world, and those who add morality to the body will become self-fulfilling without teaching.
Xia Qi estimated that he would continue to let them cultivate like this, and in another month or two, Zhang He and they would be able to complete the foundation building in 100 days, and they would say goodbye to being weak and sick.
As for the question of how to ensure the cultivation resources and the family's livelihood during the period of staying in Zhang He's house...... Since only enough meat intake is needed in the opening stage, Xia Qi will go to the mountains to hunt some prey in the past few days.
It is located on the border of Gezhou, surrounded by barren mountains and mountains, lush vegetation and many fierce beasts, so Xia Qi only needs to spend a few hours a day to catch enough prey to nourish everyone's body, and then hand over the peeled animal fur to Zhang He to take to the market to sell and buy other necessities of life.
After Xia Qi completed the cultivation of the opening stage, his body, which was already as light as a swallow, became stronger and stronger, and it was no longer the state where he only had the power to bind the chicken when he first crossed over.
Even though he has not yet begun to practice the exercises in the True Intention Inheritance, with the assistance of the Tai Chi Taoist robe, he has naturally taught the method, combined with some fighting and martial arts skills he has learned in his previous life, and has made rapid progress in the hunting in the forest in the past few days, and he can fight tigers and leopards with his bare hands, and even caught a bear two days ago.
…………
"Woo!"
"Wow~~~"
On this day, in a dense forest in the middle of the night, there was a howl of wolves.
"Boom!" Xia Qi exerted force in his waist, and threw a punch violently, thrashing a wild wolf that was biting at him.
Then his body moved like a rabbit, quickly flashing and moving in the wolves, whether it was forward, sideways, or splitting punches and legs, he was very sharp, while avoiding bites, he kept hitting the vulnerable parts of the wolves on the opposite side.
Instead of successfully pounced on Xia Qi, the wolves besieging him were dizzy from his beating, and several of them fell to the ground and wailed in a short time.
As time passed, the losses of the wolves grew, and finally the head wolf let out a sad howl and declared the hunt a failure.
Watching the wolves slowly retreat into the forest, Xia Qi also stopped attacking, and after resolving this unexpected conflict, he randomly found a hidden treetop to breathe cross-legged, combing his boiling qi and blood.
It didn't take long for Xia Qi to open his eyes in good spirits, clean up the battlefield, peel off the wolf skin, and return to Zhang He's house before dark.
After eating a good meal of peasant dishes with them, Xia Qi walked into a firewood room that had been cleaned and vacated, and fell asleep.
This sleep went straight to noon the next day, and after Xia Qi finished washing, he only felt that his spirit and spirit at this time had recovered to the best state, so he closed the chai door and solemnly took out the five inheritance items given by Lu Jian Daojun from the Tai Chi Taoist robe.
It's time to try and feel the true meaning of the inheritance.
