Chapter 8 Carrying Water and Testing
"Sleep well, eat well". Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Li Yunsheng's father Li Shanzhu can not teach Li Yunsheng much, these two things should be the best, even if the father and son were in the barren mountains and mountains, they would get up and sleep as usual, and they would not lose one meal a day.
Before dawn, Li Yunsheng got up early, he first scooped up some millet and put it in a clay pot, threw three pitted red dates into it, brought it to the stove and slowly boiled it over low heat, and then began to clean the house.
The furnishings of the log cabin are very simple, a bed, a table, a stool, an oil lamp, the bed does not even have a futon, only a straw mat, next to the log cabin there is a smaller room, which is a stove and some tattered kitchen utensils, a clay pot, a rice tank, a water tank, the rice tank is empty, but there is a small half tank of water in the water tank, and the clay pot has been used by him to make porridge.
After cleaning up, he took out an oily paper bag from the package he brought, which contained two catties of small dried fish, which he caught by himself and salted and dried by himself.
He cut the dried fish into even pieces, put it in a hot oil pot, stir-fried it several times, and added some spicy salt, and soon the aroma of the dried fish began to spread on the top of the mountain.
A plate of small dried fish and a bowl of millet porridge, Li Yunsheng sat at a table made of stumps under the big locust tree and ate it.
While eating, Li Yunsheng picked up the Qi Cultivation Technique that Li Changgeng had thrown to him before and looked at it.
The accurate name of this book should be "Outer Disciple Qi Cultivation Law Decision", looking at the name, Li Yunsheng understood that this should be an entry-level cultivation book, and after a few glances, he put the book down.
It's not because this book is too thin and simple, but on the contrary, this book is the foundation for Qi training, and many things are said very carefully, down to the names of some meridians, as well as the time of cultivation.
Li Yunsheng put it down so quickly, just because he has been reading books very fast since he was a child, because he often has no money to buy books, he has intentionally written down what he has read since he was very young, and after a long time, I don't know if it is inertia or talent, as long as it is not a very complex book, Li Yunsheng can basically remember it. This is a great talent, but Li Yunsheng and his father are bent on seeking immortals, and they don't know that their son still has the ability to never forget, and sometimes he can't help but scold him a few words when he sees Li Yunsheng reading and reading. And Li Yunsheng didn't think this was any extraordinary talent at all, and even for a long time, he felt that this was an unsightly method, because he felt that this practice was no different from stealing books.
He drank two bowls of porridge, and ate a third of the fried dried fish, then cleaned up the table and went to wash the dishes.
"It turns out that the process of cultivation is to use one's own spiritual veins as a guide, absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into the body, and practice refining and transforming qi over and over again, so it is called practicing qi. ”
While washing the dishes, Li Yunsheng muttered to himself.
He had a habit of reading books, first writing them down, and then recalling them in his mind, this beginner qi cultivation technique, compared to the books he had read before, simply made him feel a little unbelievable, but it was very interesting, he thought it was more interesting than any book he had read in the world.
After washing the dishes, he had already read a general idea of this primary qi training book, and he also understood why Yang Wanli asked Li Changgeng to give him this book.
"If you follow what is said in the book, you can use different methods of breathing and exhaling, and use the essence of qi as the force, so that the strength can be endless, and you can complete the task of picking 20 loads of water from the bottom of the mountain to the mountain, that is to say, Master, he is testing me. ”
He put the washed and wiped dishes and chopsticks neatly on the shelf next to the stove, shook his head and said secretly:
"These immortals have more twists and turns in their minds than we market vendors. ”
He took out the pole and the two wooden barrels from the house, and looked at the sky, which should be the hour, and if I went to bed at the end of the day, I would have a total of eight hours, and with my current physical strength, it would take at least an hour to carry a load of water, and a maximum of eight loads of water a day.
"So if you can carry ten loads of water back today, it means that the method of breathing and exhaling in this book is effective. ”
Thinking so, Li Yunsheng carried two buckets down the mountain.
The first load of water was carried to the mountain, and it took him more than an hour as Li Yunsheng estimated, but he was already out of breath, and he felt that his feet were like two big lead blocks bolted to him, and it was very difficult to walk, but he did not follow the method of breathing in the first load of water on the qi practice, he wanted to experience it himself, and there was really a difference between using it and not using it.
He rested for a while, and then went down again.
This time when he carried the burden up the mountain, he began to follow the methods taught in the book, trying to make the pace on his feet consistent with the rhythm of breathing, although he could not be proficient, but he had only taken the first step Li Yunsheng noticed that every time he exhaled and breathed, there was an extremely comfortable cool air flow gushing out from the soles of his feet, instantly melting away all the fatigue on his body.
Effective!
Li Yunsheng's heart, which had always been unfazed, gushed out with a wave of ecstasy.
The view of "immortals" is never shocked by hearsay, although what has been learned is only the foundation of the foundation, but in this breath, Li Yunsheng seems to have a feeling of stepping on a lotus flower and going straight to the clouds.
As he became more proficient in the use of the method of breathing luck described in the book, and his steps became lighter, his curiosity about this immortal mansion became more and more vigorous, he had no real sense of immortality, but he was very curious about the Tao method that allowed people to obtain eternal life, and this curiosity that had been suppressed since childhood finally exploded completely at this moment.
However, on the first day, Li Yunsheng did not complete the task after all, and even with the help of the Tuna Exercise, he only finished picking up nine loads of water. Because in the previous calculation, he did not take into account the fatigue value of his body, and the body after picking the first load of water is different from the body after picking five loads of water, and... Even with the help of the Breathing Technique, the musculoskeletal muscles of his body could not withstand such high-intensity labor.
Li Yunsheng is a very moderate person, he knows his strengths, and he knows his weaknesses even more, he stopped when he finished picking the ninth load of water, although if he gritted his teeth, he could still pick a few loads, but in that case, his body would probably collapse soon, it was better to take it step by step, and wait until he practiced the method of breathing luck and his own movements more proficiently, and then completed the task.
And Li Changgeng said to him for three days.
In fact, in Li Changgeng's opinion, Li Yunsheng can't stay for a day, twenty loads of water are carried from the bottom of the mountain to the mountain, even he has to spend a lot of effort, Yang Wanli originally stipulated that they were nine loads a day, and they poured twenty loads if there were not many things. The twenty taels were just a casual remark he said, he had seen a lot of this kind of family brother, let alone twenty dans, just said that they couldn't stand it if they let them carry water and live on the mountain, so they ran home and complained to their parents.
As soon as this autumn harvest arrived, the people of Baiyunguan were so busy that they forgot about the sun and the moon. Three days passed in a blink of an eye, and Li Changgeng was carrying a few bundles of rice to the grain drying field of Baiyunguan, and as soon as he put down the rice, he saw a middle-aged man walking towards him.
The man was very short, with a strong build, and many patches on his shirt were very clean.
"Yo, big brother, I haven't seen you in a while!"
Li Changgeng greeted him with a smile on his face.
"I'm dirty, and I don't wear my clothes well, this is in the view, not in your house, what if I meet a guest in the view? How many times do you want me to say it to have a longer memory?"
Li Changgeng, who was more than eight feet long, was scolded by the senior brother who was less than five feet long, and he didn't dare to raise his head.
"The little junior brother that Master asked you to bring in a few days ago, he is also from Yingzhou like you, he has no relatives here, he doesn't know anything about Xianfu, Master doesn't have time to let me talk to you, I want you to take care of it more. ”
After the senior brother finished speaking, he walked straight past Li Changgeng.
"Oops!"
Li Changgeng slapped his head suddenly, and then rushed towards the back mountain, rampage on the mountain path like a mad cow.
When he came to the foot of the back mountain out of breath, he was surprised by a scene in front of him: halfway up the mountain, a little boy was carrying two buckets of water and trotting along the winding mountain road with an extremely light pace.
When he reacted, the child was Li Yunsheng, and Li Yunsheng had already disappeared into the verdant mountains and forests.
"It's so fast!"
Li Changgeng sighed with emotion, and said in his heart, not only did he missee the identity of this child, but he also missaw his skills!
And just as he sighed, something even more shocking happened.
I saw that on the top of the mountain behind this, the towering old locust tree "bloomed." "In the whole green mountains, these small white flowers are like stars in the nine heavens, although each one is small, but it is extraordinarily dazzling.
