The winter air is gradually dissipating, the spring is steaming, and there are reckless green shoots everywhere.

At the foot of the mountain, outside a lonely simple earthen house, he was dressed in an old and clean coarse cloth clothes, spread his feet, and sat leisurely on a bamboo chair, with his head on his pillows, looking up like a fire burning clouds.

He had been living in this mud house for two months.

During this period, his thin and thin body was also full and slightly fuller.

"How's it going, can you get off the ground?"

Ah Niu strode from the mountain path, waving his rough hands and shouting.

smiled freely, propped a cane under his armpit, and walked back and forth more than twenty steps steadily, indicating that he was recovering well.

After two months of getting along, Zizi is very familiar with this black-faced teenager.

Ah Niu carried a bag of pastries, stuffed them into his arms, and said shyly: "This is the rice cake on Southeast Street, it is very sweet, you can eat it." ”

Looking at some wooden and stupid Ah Niu, he felt warm in his heart, and said with a light smile: "Then I'm welcome!" ”

After speaking, he naturally tore open the paper packet, like a hungry dog pounced, and ate half of the rice cake.

"What's the name of that old beggar who was kind to you. I wanted to erect a monument to that old man, but I didn't know his name. Ah Niu was on the side, very satisfied to watch himself eat pastries, and asked.

Zizi was slightly stunned, secretly grateful for the purity of this silly boy.

"Actually, I don't know, I've been calling him old man." Zizi wiped his mouth with his hand and wiped off the crumbs of rice cakes stuck to his chin and replied.

Suddenly, Ah Niu sobbed sadly for a while, and said very chokedly: "When I think of that old man, I will think of my father." My Abba was a carpenter, and then he was captured by the army and died on the battlefield......"

When he was just brought back by Zhang Aniu, he asked Meng Lao Dao to bury the old beggar's body on a green hill with pleasant scenery.

Later, Meng Lao Dao only brought a few broken bones, and sighed: "I was smothered by wild dogs and only a few bones remained." I'll burn a few talismans when I go back, and he will be overdone. ”

In fact, Zizi had already guessed that the old beggar might have no bones, after all, he had seen the ferocity of those wild dogs.

At that time, after the boy stabbed to death the wild dog that had first probed him, the two cunning wild dogs, fearing the unconscious boy, were like killing the first wild dog, and suddenly tricked the corpse into giving them a chance, and did not take any more risks. Or after smelling the corpse of the old beggar, he stopped thinking about the unconscious boy.

It seems that Ah Niu thought of his father from the tragic situation of the old beggar, and felt that his father who died in the war had no one to clean up his body, and most of the bones were gone. I was secretly sad and couldn't help crying.

Zizi looked at Ah Niu, a casual softness flashed in his eyes, and asked, "Do you want revenge?" ”

Ah Niu replied: "If you don't want to, it's fake. ”

Zi Zi's eyes were indifferent, and he continued to ask: "Then if you are given a chance, how do you want to take revenge?" ”

Ah Niu lowered his head and was silent for a while, thought for a long time, and said, "Originally, my mother said that Abba would come back. I believed my mom at the time, because my mom never lied to me, and even if my mom was gone, I believed that Abba would come back. Finally, I finally knew that my mom was lying to me......"

As he spoke, Ah Niu wiped his tears with the back of his hand and continued: "...... Knowing that my Abba and Mom have left me, I also want to kill the army that captured my Abba, and I also want to use a knife to break into the enemy country that killed my Abba...... But I know it's not right. ”

Listen silently and smile faintly.

"Even if I take revenge, the people I kill have parents, children, and wives. Those people are innocent. I know that it is very lonely and sad to not have the love of Abba and Grandma, and the company of Abba and Grandma......"

Halfway through Ah Niu's speech, the tears that had just stopped fell again, and the snot also flowed down.

From the beginning to the end, Ah Niu said sincerely, and there was no hypocrisy on his face, and his true feelings were always revealed.

Zizi propped up his crutches, walked to Ah Niu's side, patted the shoulder of the pure pounce child, and said lightly: "There are many kinds of revenge, and it doesn't have to be an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth." Sometimes, compared to stabbing the enemy, give him a painful pleasure, so that he can't survive, and he can't ...... death."

Of course, Zizi didn't continue, he felt that such a child with a clear heart was really rare, and he didn't want to teach him badly.

He has a deep heritage, and it is not difficult to teach Ah Niu the supreme exercises. But it is more appropriate to let him become a top master and understand the darkness of the world, or let him live an ordinary life.

Zizi naturally changed his words and asked, "By the way, what did you learn from Mr. Dream today?" ”

Since the death of Ah Niu's mother, Meng Lao Dao has taken compassion for him, took him to his Broken Dao Temple, and has been teaching him medical skills and learning herbal pathology. As for not teaching him Taoism, the main reason is that Ah Niu has no interest in Taoism at all, and he really can't teach it.

As soon as Ah Niu heard Zizi ask him what he had learned, he swept the haze in his eyes, and replied excitedly and proudly: "I have learned a lot today, Qingye Cao treats the cold qi of the viscera, passes through the meridians, and invigorates the blood and stomach......"

Laughed freely: "Your master, why do you say that you are a foolish head, I think you are much smarter than me." ”

Ah Niu's face was shy and scratched his head embarrassedly.

In the middle of the night, the stars and moon hung all over the sky.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, looking at the nose and nose and looking at the heart, looking inward, and making sure that the physical state has reached its peak.

He exhaled a heavy breath of turbidity, as if he had made up his mind, and said lightly: "It's time!" ”

In the past two months, although he has not cultivated, he has been refining his body with demonic skills, refining the impurities in his body, and strengthening his muscles and bones.

After all, physique is fundamental!

Freely close his eyes and breathe, begin to communicate with the aura of heaven and earth with his physical body, naturally open the air pockets, and want to gather the aura in the lower abdomen dantian, at first a trace of aura began to contact the air pockets, but it spread out in an instant, and finally did not enter the dantian from the air pockets.

There is no rush to be comfortable.

Because, the first step of qi gathering is to introduce qi into the body. It's not hard to say, but it's not easy to say.

Those peerless physiques have naturally communicated with aura since childhood, and their air pockets have opened spontaneously. For the gathering of gas, it is simply a matter of course, and there is no blockage.

And those mortal bodies that have no affinity for the aura are extremely difficult to guide the aura of heaven and earth into the body.

The boy's body is naturally not a demonic physique, so naturally he can't breathe in one go, draw qi into the body, and break through the qi gathering realm.

Trace after trace of aura, constantly touching the air pockets that follow freely, and constantly overflowing, although there are countless auras hitting his air pockets again and again, but there is no trace of it into the air pockets and into the dantian.

As long as a trace of aura directs the air cavity and enters the dantian, at that time, wisps of heaven and earth aura converge together to form a monstrous momentum, just like a stream entering the lake and sea, filling the dantian from the air pocket.

At that time, it will be the Qi Gathering Realm.

When there was a knock on the door, Zizi had to stop, prop up his crutches, and go to open the door to pick up the lunch box in Ah Niu's hand.

Looking up, it was already early in the morning.

I had to give up.

After breakfast, Zizi said to Ah Niu, who muttered about herbal knowledge from time to time: "Ah Niu, you don't need to bring me food in the afternoon." I went out for a walk alone. ”

Ah Niu looked a little worried and asked, "Don't you need me to take you away?" ”

"No, you don't."

He shook his arms freely, threw his crutches to the ground very chicly, and walked forward seven or eight steps with his head held high like a big rooster.

Ah Niu on the side looked at it in his eyes, his dark face opened an arc, and he smiled: "That's ......"

On the East Street, people come and go, and the noise is boiling.

Walking freely in the flow of people, he was puzzled in his heart, because he found that there was not even a single cultivator in the entire block. However, the content of Xuan Qi between heaven and earth is abundant, so that you can't even see a Qi Gathering Realm.

The only cultivator I've ever seen is a small Qi Gathering Realm.

Could it be that this world is just a mortal world?

Thinking freely as he walked, he walked to a stall on the side of the road, and from time to time looked at all kinds of strange and strong strange stones, the little trader was a middle-aged man, and he looked at this young man in coarse cloth and straw sandals with disdain in his eyes.

Zizi picked up a white stone and asked, "Boss, how much is this stone?" ”

The middle-aged man's eyes didn't look at his body at all, and he replied impatiently: "Thirty copper coins." ”

Zizi neatly handed over a piece of broken silver to the middle-aged man, and when he came back to his senses, Zizi had already put away the white stone.

The middle-aged man looked at the bulging money bag that he touched from the waist of a son-in-law in his hand, his eyes were shining, and then he grabbed Zizi's left hand, and said viciously: "That is worth two taels of silver, I just walked away, and this stone is thirty Wen." ”

At the same time, he pointed his index finger at another white stone as he lifted his shirt, revealing his huge chest muscles covered in black hair.

He repeated again: "This two taels of silver, since you have already taken something, you must give money." ”

He was confident that with this kid's physique, as long as he scared and scared him, he would definitely make a fortune.

Zizi smiled faintly, not surprised, and pointed his index finger at the acupuncture point on the middle-aged man's arm

The man's whole body suddenly felt like an electric shock, and he stood in place, motionless.

He rolled his frightened eyes, staring straight into the distance, Fang Jiu came back to his senses, shook his trembling arms, and hurriedly packed his goods and rushed home.
