Chapter 16 Jade Owl Mountain Qi Refining
Gongsun Shanqing returned to the side house, took out a set of dicks, and began to put his hands on the handle of the dagger butterfly, and opened the edge. Zhou Changsheng looked bored, so he came to the backyard with the eldest and the second.
A few days ago, I promised the eldest and second to play a game of beading with them, but then I never had the opportunity, and today is just right. When the eldest and second heard this, they jumped up and down happily to get the beads.
It's nothing if the child jumps and falls, the eldest and second are burly, with black skin, tendons and flesh, bouncing like a hill, and looking at Zhou Changsheng's mouth twitching.
Speaking of playing beads, the rules are also simple, draw a line two feet away, one side put the beads, the other side takes the beads to hit the beads, hit the win one, do not hit the loss of one, and then take turns to sit in the bank. Ten beads per person, and whoever loses the beads in his hand first loses. The winner has the right to pick the best bead as a prize from the loser.
The beads are all made of pig iron, the size of apricots, and the beads are polished by the two of them, which is obviously a lot of effort!
The two took the beads, first five for each person, all of which were given to Zhou Changsheng, and then the game began. At first, Zhou Changsheng thought that this was not a simple answer, but after getting started, he realized that it was not that simple.
The weight of an iron bead the size of an apricot is really not light, the distance between two zhang is already very far, and it is necessary to hit another one, which not only requires a certain amount of arm strength and wrist strength, but also has control over the muscles, of course, eyesight is also very important.
The result is self-evident, Zhou Changsheng quickly lost the beads in his hand, and was very laughed at by the eldest and second.
No, come again, Zhou Changsheng is not a person who is willing to admit defeat. For a while, there was a lot of laughter in the backyard, of course, most of them were Zhou Changsheng being ridiculed.
Gongsun Shanqing saw this scene through the window and smiled very gratefully. It seems that I really found a good apprentice, but it's a pity that my time is running out, but when the time comes, I can leave with peace of mind. Come to think of it, Zhou Changsheng will take good care of these two silly boys.
At the end of the game, Zhou Changsheng owed a lot of debts, as many as dozens of iron beads! Later, it was the old man Gongsun who came forward and let Zhou Changsheng go.
Time passed quickly, and in the evening, Zhou Changsheng put on an ice silkworm coat, took a hundred treasure bags, sneaked out of the room like a raccoon cat, and when he came to the street, he saw the old man walking out of the small alley. The two of them went out of the city together and ran straight towards the Jade Owl Mountain to the east.
On the way, the old man said: "You have never started to practice qi, because between heaven and earth, the aura is scattered and impermanent, how many widows there are, and it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice." After a while, I will take you to a place where the aura gathers like water, and there, if you kid can't achieve the aura into the body, I can only consider myself unlucky and take in a waste apprentice. ”
The old man walked and walked, and when there was no one, he began to accelerate, flexible like an ape, and instantly fell a large distance from Zhou Changsheng. Zhou Changsheng hurriedly accelerated, and then the old man got faster and faster, until Zhou Changsheng could barely keep up, and then slowly slowed down.
In the forest, an old man and a young man were speeding up, like two gray shadows, and with a whoosh, they disappeared in front of their eyes.
At night, the wind and snow were heavy on the Jade Owl Mountain, and I could only hear the whining north wind, and when I looked up, I saw two black shadows flying through the giant pines that went straight into the sky. After a long time, Gongsun Shanqing suddenly stood next to a huge cedar tree and stopped, while Zhou Changsheng was panting, standing behind the old man trembling with an ice shell, his legs trembling, and he almost fell to his knees.
Gongsun Shan Qingtou didn't reply: "It seems that you have worked hard these days, and your foundation is not bad." It's just that your ability to hurry is a little rougher, right, you haven't learned anything about it for so long? It can't be that I forgot, uh, I'll talk about this later, seeing that the fire in front of you is not there, take a rest first, and then go to the territory of those visitors, and don't drop the chain when the time comes. ”
After Zhou Changsheng listened, he no longer held on, and sat down directly. The anger in my heart, you are my master, if you don't say it, if you don't teach it, where can I go to school! What's more, the old Taoist in the dream didn't teach this. Zhou Changsheng took a short rest, then forced himself to stand up and began to stand on the pile.
Gongsun Shanqing only noticed Zhou Changsheng's standing pile at this time. I saw that Zhou Changsheng breathed long, and the whole person was round, as if he was transcendent and seemed to be integrated into all things. At this time, Gongsun Shanqing suddenly realized that his apprentice's rapid boxing practice was not only because of his good talent, but also had a lot to do with his standing piles and boxing skills. It seems that he may really underestimate the person behind his apprentice, and it is estimated that his apprentice now doesn't know how much of a sensation his set of piles will cause if it is spread, he is really a jealous kid.
Others may not be able to see anything, but who is Gongsun Shanqing, who was also the only personal disciple of Jindan Ancestor back then, and even his own qualifications are better than those of Ancestor, and he is also a genius-like existence, and his vision is naturally not bad.
In fact, Zhou Changsheng's standing pile, walking pile is not very special, what is special is the kind of artistic conception, that kind of taste, the kind of everything in the world, the domineering of who else is me, the kind of Wuthering Mountains and forests, the chic of freedom, the kind of things I forget, and the purity of all things. All kinds of signs reveal that the person who taught Zhou Changsheng this set of boxing techniques is not simple, it is not simple! So much so that after reading it, it seems that the road to the grandmaster is a little more wide, and if he has a chance to break through the realm in the future, the original forty percent grasp has now reached more than fifty percent.
About an hour later, Gongsun Shanqing pushed Zhou Changsheng, who was still standing on the pile. Zhou Changsheng, who woke up, felt refreshed all over his body, and his physical strength had already recovered. Gongsun Shanqing saw that Zhou Changsheng was fine, and said solemnly, it is best not to show your set of piles in front of outsiders, so as not to let some people with intentions see something and cause unnecessary trouble. As the saying goes, "The husband is not guilty, but he is guilty", and there is nothing wrong with being careful.
Zhou Changsheng naturally didn't know why, a set of boxing taught by an old man in a dream, why was he guilty, wasn't it just a set of boxing, I didn't see anything special. Of course, when the master said it, he nodded obediently, and the ghost knew if he had listened.
Then the two of them quietly touched the camp one after the other, and when they got closer, they jumped like two tanuki cats and climbed onto a pine tree with a thick trunk.
Gongsun Shanqing pointed to the large wooden house and thatched hut not far away and whispered to Zhou Changsheng: "This is the base camp of the visitors, and the visitors from all over the world come here just to be able to dig up one or two mountain ginsengs, and even risk their own lives for them." Remember, here, the biggest rule is that there are no rules. Go, and Master will open your eyes and see the other side of life. ”
This is the only way to enter the Jade Owl Mountain, with thousands of cliffs on both sides, and only a small path in the canyon in the middle can be walked. In front of this trail is the base camp of the visitors, called the village of the mallet nest. This stockade, impartial, just blocked the intersection into the mountain, it is obvious that someone did it deliberately.
If you want to go into the mountains to dig sticks, this village can't avoid it.
Gongsun Shanqing casually took out two masks from his arms and gave one to Zhou Changsheng, and the two of them put them on their faces, jumped off the tree, and walked towards the tourist camp.
Walking into the camp, Zhou Changsheng felt as if he had stepped into a noisy world in an instant from the silent north wind. The huts were next to each other, and all kinds of people walked together in groups. There are those who drink, quarrel and fight, those who secretly trip people and laugh, those who directly snatch the thin burden from them, open them while running, and turn them over and throw them on the ground, and there are also a group of people who chase one person and run away, making everyone jump.
Zhou Changsheng had never seen such a messy scene, as if he had lost his mind, he was stunned on the spot, his eyes staring here for a while, and where he was looking for a while.
Suddenly, Gongsun Shanqing pulled Zhou Changsheng to the side, only to see a hand holding a blade narrowly slashing past him, and then the old man kicked the thin man with the blade and vomited blood and flew out. Zhou Changsheng was startled, but the people around him looked commonplace.
"Yo, isn't this the fourth ghost hand, what's wrong, it's hard stubble!"
"Don't be careless, the ghost hand has become a broken hand!" the other man teased.
The man lying on the ground covered his stomach, stood up slowly, and said viciously to Gongsun Shanqing: "If you have the ability, you wait, dare to spoil the good deeds of my ghost hands, I will let you not get out of this village!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he ran away.
At this time, everyone had already gathered around and was looking the two up and down.
An old man wearing a bearskin hat and a gray coat with crutches said: "New here, know the rules! Leave five taels of silver, and the abductor will ensure that you get out of this village alive today.
Gongsun Shanqing pursed his lips and smiled softly: "Why haven't I heard of this mallet nest and this rule, could it be that you are old and new?"
When everyone heard this, their hearts suddenly became a lot clearer, it turned out to be a master who mixed pigs and ate tigers, which was cheap and not good. For a while, most of the people around dispersed. The old man on crutches is not walking, not leaving, the heartwarming in his heart, I thought it was a big wrong, and I wanted to cheat the two of them to spend money, but I didn't think it was a cotton needle with a needle, just don't spread this word to the ears of the silk master.
At that moment, the old man stood up straight and hugged his fists and said: "Two heroes, this matter is abrupt by me, I can't compensate you." The two heroic prime ministers can hold the boat in their stomachs, and the adults don't care about the villains, so don't worry about the little old man. After speaking, seeing that Gongsun Shanqing had no intention of making a move, he turned around and was about to leave. Unexpectedly, there was a flower in front of him, Gongsun Shanqing had already come to the front to block the way, the old man suddenly trembled on the soles of his feet, and said in his heart: "How should this be good, this idea is not only prickly, but also eats people if it is not good!"
Gongsun Shanqing stood in front of the man, stretched out his right hand, rubbed his thumb and index finger up and down, the meaning was very obvious, if he wanted to go, how could there be such a cheap thing.
The old man felt bitter in his heart, but he had no choice but to stretch it out into his arms, and after taking out some broken silver for a long time, he took out some broken silver and said: "Good man, those who come here are hard-working people, if there is another way out, who will come to be a visitor, these silver, you will buy some tea and drink when you are old, but it's good." ”
Gongsun Shanqing took the silver, turned sideways to make way out, the old man was like an amnesty, three steps as two steps, and suddenly there was no one.
Zhou Changsheng was a little stunned by this series of things, and was in a daze, when he heard Gongsun Shanqing say, "Don't be stunned, take care of yourself, this time it is towards the treasure bag, and next time it may be towards your neck." Gongsun Shanqing said coldly.
The village is not big, nor small, along the way, Zhou Changsheng experienced three open robberies, seven steals, two blackmails, and finally was directly surrounded by a group of people. The result was a fart and urine that was beaten by his master. From then on, no one dared to attack them openly, until the two of them passed through the loose camp, and there were still two waves of people who did not give up and secretly attacked them. One of the people's daggers had already pierced his clothes, and he was about to pierce Zhou Changsheng's body, but he was kicked out by the old man's leg. By the time the two of them crossed the stockade and left the camp, Zhou Changsheng was already frightened, and seemed to feel that many pairs of eyes were staring at him.
The old man said to Zhou Changsheng at this time: "Don't you always want to come and see what the life of the visitors is like? This is, it can even be said that most places in the whole world are like this. ”
Zhou Changsheng was still immersed in the atmosphere just now, and his clothes were almost soaked with cold sweat. If the old man had been a second late, he might have been stabbed to death on the spot by that man with a dagger. If I really die, what am I doing so hard to practice? What am I braving the cold for? If I die, there will be nothing!
Gongsun Shanqing looked back at Zhou Changsheng, who was silent behind him, and was also heartbroken, "The teacher can only use this rough method to make you understand what you will face in the future." Although the process is painful, it will eventually make you live longer. ”
Zhou Changsheng followed the old man to turn left and right in the mountain forest, walked for most of the night, and came to a small hill. Zhou Changsheng raised his eyes and looked around, it was all dark and dark forests, and he didn't know where he was now. I saw the old man walk to a place, take out a few small flags, plant them on the ground, pull out a few small flags, and then call Zhou Changsheng over.
There used to be a few pine trees in that place, but now they are gone, but they have become a small patch of vigorous vegetation, which is very evident in the snow-covered mountain forest.
"Reiki is gathered and scattered, it has always been random, as far as I know, no one has been able to predict or find the aura, it may be because of Master's low realm and shallow knowledge. And this place happened to come across a few years ago, when there was still a mallet growing here, if it weren't for that mallet, I would have died long ago, and turned into a handful of loess. The aura here naturally gathers, although it is small, but it is extremely pure, but it is of little use to me, and it is just right with you. I hid this place back then, but I just hoped that such a good place would not be ruined by wild boars and black bears in the woods. It's just that I didn't expect that it would be lucky to keep it to this day. You sit down and feel it first, then practice the qi and see what the difference is. Gongsun Shanqing said and asked Zhou Changsheng to sit down on a slightly flat stone in the middle, and then planted a few small flags around Zhou Changsheng.
When Gongsun Shanqing inserted the last chess piece, Zhou Changsheng, who was meditating next to him, suddenly fell into a trance, and then slowly became blurred, and finally seemed to disappear into the darkness and turned into a black shadow. The old man turned and jumped on a nearby pine tree, and hid as well.
Zhou Changsheng sat on the stone, sat down cross-legged, looked at his nose, nose and mouth, mouth and heart, held the seal with both hands, and instantly entered a state of meditation. There seems to be a light in the trance, swaying and jumping in the air, big and small, colorful. Zhou Changsheng felt as if a door had opened in his heart, and he walked out of the door and saw another world. At that moment, in this heaven and earth, Zhou Changsheng felt that he was everything, and all things were himself, and his mind instantly rose thousands of miles, wandering the world, and in the next moment, his mind returned, and everything was extinguished. Zhou Changsheng is still reminiscing about the feeling of seeing the world at a glance and everything is my sect.
Then Zhou Changsheng felt a chill enter from the Baihui acupoint above his head, crossed the bridge of heaven and earth, came to the dantian, coiled a few laps, and then rose along the bridge of heaven and earth, dissipating between heaven and earth. In the process, Zhou Changsheng felt that he had brought something and taken something away. That kind of mysterious and mysterious, unspeakable feeling made Zhou Changsheng immersed in this cycle after cycle.
When Zhou Changsheng heard bursts of birdsong, he opened his eyes and found that the sky was hazy at this time, and it was almost dawn. I thought it was just a short time, but I didn't think that I had been meditating here all night. After getting up, there was a refreshment all over my body, my ears and eyes were clear, my mind was clear, and I looked at the world around me, and the original vague feeling was now gone. It's like the original world was covered with a veil, and now this veil has been removed, revealing the original appearance of the world.
The old man jumped off the pine tree, rubbed his sour eyes, collected the flag, and hurriedly said: "How about it, the first time I practiced qi, it feels okay, don't be stunned, hurry up and keep up, it will cause unnecessary trouble if it's too late." After speaking, the old man's figure flickered, and he was already more than ten meters away. Zhou Changsheng hurriedly followed, and found that his body seemed to have become lighter and more flexible, and it was obvious that his body had undergone some kind of unspeakable change.
The two of them went one after the other, and after a few breaths, they had already disappeared into the depths of the dense forest. Then, a roar that shook the mountains and forests resounded in the sky, obviously extremely angry!
Slowly the day dawned, and the surroundings gradually brightened. Not far from the place where Zhou Changsheng was meditating, the corpses of wild beasts were scattered around, including tigers, leopards, wild boars, brown bears, etc., which was obviously the masterpiece of Gongsun Shanqing.
At this time, next to these corpses, a white-fronted giant tiger the size of a scalper was walking back and forth irritably around the place where Zhou Changsheng was meditating, and then sniffed deeply with his nose, and then roared angrily at the sky.
