After January, the spring breeze blows and everything recovers.

Chen Dazhui didn't know what means he used, and he went to the blacksmith shop as an apprentice. This Xu Tianran, Jiang Yan, and Jiang Li are so jealous that they can touch the sword every day, not a wooden sword and bamboo sword played by children in the alley, it is a genuine iron sword, Jiang Li envied: "Big hammer, what does it feel like to touch the sword?"

In fact, Chen Da Hammer just came to be an apprentice, not to mention the sword, and even the kitchen knife Lao Mo was not allowed to touch, only let him do chores, serve tea and water, wash and cook. Where will these big hammers tell them, the big hammer is serious, closed his eyes and said: "As soon as the warm hand grasped the cold sword, suddenly, the heartbeat accelerated, the blood in the whole body flowed rapidly, the sword intent accumulated in the chest, and with a slight wave, I felt the sword qi rise everywhere." ”

Everyone screamed when they heard it, Lu Xiaobu only hid behind and listened, Xiao Heitan was timid, he didn't dare to get too close, he never thought that Xu Tianran would let go of half of his body, pull Lu Xiaobu away, and stand with a few of them. Lu Xiaobu didn't dare to take a breath, listening to what Chen Dazhui was talking about was very good, but he was really afraid of these people, Tang Yunjie and the three of them left inexplicably, Mr. said that they had returned to their hometown, Lu Xiaobu didn't know what the reason was, in short, to avoid these outsiders, even Xu Tianran. Anyway, Xiao Heitan felt that Mai Zidi, a local student who had no sense of existence like himself, could chat a few words, and the female classmate herself was thin-skinned and dared to talk to them, and before she knew it, she became more and more disillusioned in the school. Of course, the wheat field has no sense of existence.

Squeezed between them, Lu Xiaobu's muscles all over his body were constricted, and he was afraid that he would squeeze the brother next to him, and he would disappear inexplicably. However, listening to the big hammer introduce all kinds of swords, it was really fun, Lu Xiaobu thought about it, he had also heard about the last fight, and felt that Xu Tianran should be a good person, otherwise how could he fight with them, although he was beaten, he could change to himself, and he didn't dare to go up and stop him if he was killed. Lu Xiaobu glanced at his wheat field, and secretly sent a fall, meaning to turn around and tell him what he said?

The happiness of boys is mostly simple. It's not like girls, most of them talk about rouge gouache and clothing styles, all of which are things that they don't understand.

After leaving the hall, the sledgehammer returned to the blacksmith shop, and Lao Mo said coldly: "Where is the sword qi?"

The sledgehammer was dumbfounded, the cowhide he bragged about in the school was heard, and he didn't explain, so he hurriedly made a cup of hot tea for the master, "Master, the disciple is not working you, the disciple will bring you tea and water to share your worries." ”

also returned home, Xu Tianran saw Lao Bai and Mr. both there, one drinking tea and the other drinking.

Lao Bai asked, "How are you practicing with drawing a sword?"

Xu Tianran said confidently: "It must be done, I'll show you again, that's called a romantic and suave." Xu Tianran pretended that the bamboo knife had a scabbard, pulled it out heavily, and lay it in front of him.

Lao Bai shook his head and said, "It's too deliberate, I'll only do it once, you can see it." Lao Bai gently held the bamboo knife and pumped it at will, the momentum was like a rainbow, and the knife intent was overflowing. The young man looked surprised, and sure enough, Jiang was still old and spicy.

The gentleman put down the wooden teacup, "Xu boy, how do you think your cultivation talent is?"

Xu Tianran said nonsense: "That is naturally the world's first-class excellence, and you can practice the world's first casually." ”

The gentleman smiled, "Yes and no. ”

Xu Tianran was surprised: "I'm full of nonsense, since I was a child, I knew that I had no cultivation potential. ”

Lao Bai took off the gourd and took a sip of wine, he is a rough man, and the preaching is still handed over to Lao Wu, after all, my apprentice is also half of his apprentice, or he borrowed half of him by splashing and rolling.

Mr. said patiently: "Monks practice, there must be a complete spiritual vein, the main spiritual vein is unobstructed to be able to practice, the human body has 365 acupoints, the acupoints are like a lake, used to store spiritual power, and there are branches of spiritual veins connected between the acupoints and the main spiritual veins. To put it simply, the human body is like a river, with a main stream and tributaries, when cultivating, absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to store spiritual power from the main stream in the holes, and when fighting, the spiritual power flows from the lake into the main stream and leaks out. The amount of spiritual power and the size of the spiritual veins determine the level of the realm. Your body is special, and it is a rare opportunity to say that you are a genius, and it is also a waste of firewood. Your main spiritual vein is extremely broad, most of the main spiritual veins of the monks in the world trickle like a stream, even if they are masters of the Heavenly Mirror, most of them are as vast as the Guangling River, and your main spiritual vein is countless times wider than the Guangling River, it is not an exaggeration to call it a vast ocean, and your knees are also extremely broad, like huge isolated lakes, and even worthy of a lake in the world that can add a sea name. ”

Xu Tianran was frightened when he heard this, the better he said in the front, the worse the result would definitely be in the back, so he kept waiting.

Sure enough, Mr. continued: "But no matter how big the lake is without water replenishment, it is also a dry lake bed, and the broad main spiritual vein can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, of course, the width of your spiritual vein cannot be just called absorption, it should be swallowed by whales." Without a branch of the spiritual vein, the spiritual power of the whale swallow has nowhere to store, either it flows away in the main spiritual vein in vain, or it remains a little bit in the main spiritual vein, and it is right that your physique is very easy to practice, but the realm cannot cross the threshold of five grades at most. ”

After listening to this, Xu Tianran looked at the gentleman who was making tea and drinking tea with a calm face, and said urgently: "Sir, there is a way to crack it." ”

The gentleman nodded, "Do you know the story of the iron pestle sharpened into a needle?"

Xu Tianran shook his head.

The gentleman said calmly: "The white peacock in your mouth, that is, Lao Li, when I was a child, I saw an old woman sharpening an iron pestle, and he didn't know what to do, so he asked the old man, why are you sharpening the iron pestle? After saying that, he disappeared without a trace. Later, whenever the teenager encountered a bottleneck on the road of cultivation, he could understand the hard work of the grandmother by sharpening the iron pestle, and if he wanted to succeed, he had to work as hard as the iron pestle. The young man has trained from a young monk to a great swordsman, and it is not a problem to carry an iron pestle on his back every day, so he stores the iron pestle in the hole to warm it up, and continues to polish it with spiritual power. Polishing the iron pestle has benefited a lot from the young man who is already a young man, polishing the mood and sharpening the sword, after a hundred years, the iron pestle was finally ground into an embroidery needle by Lao Li. Lao Li also benefited greatly from this. Lao Li named this needle Shu Dao. Now for him, Shu Dao has no effect, but Shu Dao is of great significance to Lao Li. ”

Xu Tianran said happily: "Shu Dao is the key to dredging the spiritual veins in my body, don't worry, sir, my relationship with the white peacock is okay, I will personally beg him, he must be willing to lend me Shu Dao." ”

Speaking of this, Lao Bai said painfully: "It's been exchanged." ”

Xu Tianran said happily: "Sir, when will it start, I want to start practicing immediately." ”

Mr. said in a deep voice: "The subtlety of Shu Dao lies in the fact that it has been raised by Lao Li for a long time, and it has spirituality in itself, it can swim along the spiritual veins in your body, and run the mantra, and it can go upstream, just like digging a canal, digging out a spiritual vein in your body." If you want to have such an effect, you first need to get the approval of Shu Dao, and until it is in touch with you, it will be willing to help you open up your spiritual vein. There are thousands of immortal soldiers and divine soldiers in the world, and there are very few things that can open up spiritual veins, and there are only three or two immortal soldiers who can open up spiritual veins without harming the root of the avenue. ”

Mr. paused for a while, took a sip of tea, and took a deep breath, "Naturally, it is extremely difficult for Shu Dao to recognize the Lord." If there is an accident, you will die, neither I nor Old Man Bai can save you, it depends on you. The process of opening up spiritual veins is extremely long and painful, like a Gu worm eating the heart, and it can be completed not in a few months, but in years, or even decades. Mr. is not afraid of annoying you, you are mellow by nature, but the hatred and obsession in your heart are too deep and the murderous intention is extremely heavy, Mr. is afraid that you have suffered great pain in the long process of opening up the spiritual vein, and finally your mood collapses, even if you successfully dredge the spiritual vein in the future, you will become a big devil who kills people without counting. Do you want to take a risk?"

Lao Bai stroked the head of the young man in green shirts, and said softly for the first time in a hundred years: "I believe in you." ”

Mr. Xu Tianran deeply bowed to Mr. Xu, "The student is willing to give it a try, and he will not let Mr. down." ”

The gentleman stood up and said gently: "Remember, no matter how hard you work for good, no matter how tired you are, don't lose hope in humanity." If there is hope, man is alive. ”

Xu Tianran nodded, "It's good to meet Mr. Lao Baihe." ”

Lao Bai laughed and said, "This sycophant is a bit blunt. ”

Mr. said unhappily: "In the future, I will talk about Mr. first, and then talk about Lao Bai, and the order is very important." ”

Lao Bai kicked over, and Mr. took a few steps back, allowing Lao Bai to pounce into the air.

Mr. folded his hands on his sleeves, squinted and smiled, Lao Bai picked up Xu Tianran for the first time, the burly Lao Bai's arms were extremely broad, and he was very warm and relieved in Lao Bai's arms. The room was silent, time seemed to freeze, and they all expected time to slow down, and after a long time, the gentleman said, "Let's begin." ”

Mr. operated the spiritual power, a breath of qi flowed thousands of miles, and the Shu Dao hidden in the hole was captured in an instant, and Mr. flicked his fingers, and there was a very thin golden embroidery needle between his fingers. Xu Tianran took a deep breath, breathed rhythmically according to the pranayama method of Lao Baijiao, and then silently recited the mantra taught by Mr., and opened the first pulse of the main spiritual vein in turn, until the last vein was completely opened, and the abundant spiritual power of Qingshan Town was swallowed by a whale and poured into Xu Tianran's Ren vein, and the originally dry riverbed was moistened like a rain after a long drought, and the spiritual power flowed from a trickle to the river. Xu Tianran couldn't store spiritual power in his body, so he had to let the spiritual power pour out from the Du Vein. Mr. slowly sent Shu Dao from the Ren vein to the Xu natural spirit vein, and immediately blocked the young man's Ren Du second vein. The young man's body could not store spiritual power, so Mr. built two dikes in the young man's body to trap the spiritual power in the young man's body and use it to warm and nourish Shu Dao, and it was still too early to be recognized by Shu Dao. Even though the main spiritual vein of the young man is extremely broad, he can't store too much spiritual power, after all, if the young man who has not yet practiced has too much spiritual power, the main spiritual vein will be like the Yellow River bursting its embankment, and the whole body will collapse, and it will be really difficult for the gods to save at that time. There are people in the world who can be as accurate as Mr., there are not many, and they can be counted on one hand, such as Lao Bai, who fights more powerfully.

As soon as Shu Dao entered Xu Tianran's spiritual vein, he scurried around, seemingly unwilling to be trapped in a small spiritual vein, and wanted to play all over the young man's body, but he swam around for a long time, and found that the young man's body was only a wide and boundless river, but the front and back were blocked by two dams, and for a while Shu Dao was angry, so he hit the embankment of the main spiritual vein like an iron horse, and the young man suddenly fell to the ground in pain, trembling. It seemed that there was a restless little tiger in his body and bit his internal organs, the young man in green shirt was suddenly soaked, Lao Bai picked up the towel, blocked the young man's mouth, picked up the young man, put it on the small bed in his room, moved a stool by himself, and guarded it by the bed.

At the door, there was an old master with his hands on his sleeves.

In the morning class of the school, Mr. asked Liu Ruyun to watch, and in the morning, Bai Tu wanted to kill pigs and sell meat, and he guarded the boy by himself. Mr. Afternoon went back by himself, and changed the old white guard to the young man. At night, both of them tacitly agreed that Lao Bai was sitting at the head of the young man's bed, and Mr. was guarding the door. After all, there is a difference between intimacy and intimacy, Lao Bai is a young master, and Mr. is only half a master.

The boy was in a coma for three days and three nights, and the sharp pain made the endurance of the young man who had never practiced reach the limit again and again. Almost every time, he just woke up, and then he passed out again, and his divine consciousness was shattered by the impact of Shu Dao.

On the fourth day, the young man opened his eyes, there was no trace of blood on his pale face, and Lao Bai said with concern: "Don't speak, keep your mind." ”

The young man squeezed out a smile and said, "Lao Bai, I want to eat." ”

Lao Bai nodded and went to the kitchen to cook for the boy. As soon as the fire started, the boy suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood and fell down again. Halfway through class, the gentleman hurried over and scolded, "When did you dare to leave the bedside?" ”

Lao Bai took off the gourd on his waist, "He wants me to leave, I have to leave." ”

The gentleman shook his head, so stubborn at a young age.

Lao Bai spit out a mouthful of turbidity: "I'll cook, warm it in the pot, and when Xu Xiaozi wants to eat, I can eat it at any time." ”

The gentleman nodded, and sat down at the head of the boy's bed.

Although Mr. said that the young man's life was in danger, how could Mr. let half of the disciple's life be in danger, if there was really an accident, Mr. interrupted the young man's spiritual veins and restrained Shu Dao, and the young man would no longer have the power to practice in the future, so he could still save his life.

Mr. didn't expect it, but Lao Bai said, "If there is an accident, let him go, if he is allowed to live for the rest of his life, his heart will be worse than death, and he has to worry that the two of us will be sad, and he has to pretend to live happily, how tiring it is." ”

The gentleman nodded in agreement with Lao Bai's statement.

The students of the school were very concerned about Xu Xiaozi, and the gentleman murmured, "Xu Xiaozi, don't die, you still want to take revenge?"

The little body curled up in the bed writhed unconsciously, and the bamboo board was biting on the mouth, and the moaning of the teenager could still be heard.

After seven days and seven nights, the boy was able to make it and drank a few sips of white porridge. It's not that Shu Dao doesn't toss anymore, it's that Xu Tianran's ability to endure pain has improved, and he will joke: "Lao Bai, don't worry, it won't hurt if it hurts." ”

The young man who smiled miserably moved the hard-hearted old Bai, this little bastard, why are you worried about the two of us who are not dead, we have never seen any storms, and we still need your comfort. However, a seat of words can only be held in the heart, and you can't care about the teenager who is holding his body, holding blood in his mouth, and swallowing it with porridge.

After another month, the boy was able to get out of bed. Shu Dao is still tossing willfully, the young man seems to have figured out the law of Shu Dao tossing, he can predict Shu Dao's mind in advance, and prepare for pain in advance, it seems that the pain is not so strong.

The teenagers will tell Lao Bai that they want to eat meat, shouting that if they don't eat meat for three days, everyone has to lose weight. As a result, the real meat came, and the boy couldn't bite it again, and the meat he spit out was bloody.

On this day, the boy seemed to be in a better state, sitting on the threshold of the butcher's shop, Lao Bai put on a dress for the boy, the boy looked at the lush trees, looked at the clouds in the distance, and muttered: "In a blink of an eye, it's almost summer." Senior Sister Liu must be very beautiful in a skirt. ”

Lu Xiaobu caught a glimpse of the young man at the door from a distance, rushed over, and scratched his head: "Senior Brother Xu, are you feeling better?"

Xu Tianran couldn't help but laugh out a mouthful of blood again, and after swallowing it in his stomach, he smiled and said: "I made a mistake, although you are younger, after all, you came first, you are the senior brother, I am the junior brother." ”

Lu Xiaobu shook his head desperately, "You are a senior brother, you are a senior brother, otherwise I will drop out of school first, and then come to school, I will be late, and I can be your junior brother." ”

A miserable smile appeared on Xu Tianran's snow-white face, "Okay, I'll listen to you." ”

Liu Ruyun walked towards the butcher shop with the porcelain doll girl who was hiding at the corner of the alley and secretly watching Xu Tianran.

Ji Shengxue saw the bleak appearance of the young man from a distance, and suddenly, tears broke down.

Liu Ruyun said with pity: "I don't know how you got into this appearance, you have to take care of your injuries, everyone is looking forward to you going to school, and the big hammer also said that he would give you a knife, saying that Blacksmith Mo agreed." ”

Ji Shengxue just cried, crying distressedly, as if a thousand words were in tears.

Xu Tianran spurted out a small mouthful of blood and covered his chest: "Don't cry, you're angry and vomiting blood." ”

Ji Shengxue stopped crying, and hurriedly wanted to run over to help the young man up, but the young man immediately laughed and said, "Lie to you, haha." ”

Ji Shengxue said angrily: "Ignore you." "I ran home with my head down, my back was picturesque.

The boy turned and leaned against the door, and spat out a large mouthful of blood, as if he vomited blood and vomited and vomited to get used to it.

Jiang Yan and Jiang Li stood at the door of the school, and turned around and left. In the wheat field, I only dared to glance at it from a distance, and I thought it was a good question.

Sister Lin brought Sister Lin over, and said to herself along the way: "Go and see what that guy looks like if he has bad retribution, it's enough to eat for three days without eating." ”

The real Sister Lin saw the bleak situation of the young man, and she couldn't say a word that she was ready for, so she stood in a daze for a long time, and said coldly: "Don't die." With that, he turned around and left.

Lin Mei respectfully gave Lao Bai a respectful gesture, and said in a proper manner: "I wish Senior Brother Xu a speedy recovery." Then, I trotted all the way to catch up with my sister, and my sister didn't seem to be very happy. In the next three days, my sister really didn't eat vegetables, and she didn't even eat much.

Lao Bai said solemnly: "No one, go back." ”

The boy turned and went back to the house.

Shu Dao seemed to sense the young man's thoughts.
