Chapter 9: Apprenticeship
The old man carefully pinched the strange insect, put it in the palm of his hand and carefully examined it for a moment, turned his hand and took out a three-legged small ding, put it in, put it in his arms, and then turned his gaze to Zhao Ziming.
At this moment, Zhao Ziming still maintained his original posture, his body was covered with frost, and there was no breath at the end of his nose, but there was still a little divine light in his eyes.
The old man's strength was extraordinary, and he could feel that Zhao Ziming's heart was still beating slightly, he hesitated for a moment, as if he was thinking about something, and then a palm fell on Zhao Ziming's shoulder, and the strong internal force poured into his body.
Wisps of white smoke came out of Zhao Ziming's head, the frost covering his body melted quickly, his pale face floated a touch of ruddy, and there was a faint breath under his nose, but his body fell down softly, and his eyes were closed.
The old man hurriedly withdrew his internal strength, supported Zhao Ziming, and at the same time turned his head and shouted: "Prepare a quiet room for the old man." ”
After a while, Jade Garden was in the best room.
Looking at Zhao Ziming lying on the bed, the old man hesitated again, even if he was as decisive as him, he frowned and thought for a long time, Fang took out a blood-red Ganoderma lucidum from his arms, and said with a painful face: "It's cheap, you kid, this blood Ganoderma lucidum, but it is a holy medicine for blood and aphrodisiac, the old man took a lot of effort to get it from a volcano in southern Xinjiang, I hope you don't disappoint the old man." ”
After speaking, he held the blood lingzhi, and the strength in his palm burst out, and at the same time, with a slight knock of his other hand, he opened Zhao Ziming's mouth, and then dripped all the blood lingzhi juice into Zhao Ziming's mouth.
The old man was extremely depressed in his heart, he came to the quiet room just now, he was about to use his skills to rescue Zhao Ziming, but he found that his internal strength could not enter Zhao Ziming's body.
In this way, the old man's original plan naturally fell through, but Zhao Ziming had a great effect on him, and he could never sit idly by and watch him die, so he could only take out the most precious medicine on his body, hoping to save Zhao Ziming.
Zhao Ziming looked no different from usual, but in fact, unimaginably drastic changes were taking place in his body.
At that time, after being bitten by that strange insect, his body couldn't move, but the internal force in the dantian became extremely active, he had the idea of trying, and ran the exercises, but he didn't expect that the internal force was immediately like a loose horse, running quickly, and its speed was more than three times faster than usual!
The faster the internal force runs, the greater the impact force, how fragile the meridians of the human body are, how can they withstand such a strong impact?
As a result, the meridians in Zhao Ziming's body were immediately hit hard, the thick meridians were twisted and deformed, and the small ones were directly broken.
If this situation continues, Zhao Ziming will not only have his meridians exhausted, but even worry about his life.
Fortunately, after that, the blue airflow that the strange insect crossed into his body was of great use, exuding an extremely cold, which made the running speed of the internal force decrease a lot in an instant, and what surprised Zhao Ziming even more was that after a week of operation, the total amount of internal force actually increased greatly.
It's just that those damaged meridians will not be able to recover for a while and a half, and the body will be frozen by the power of extreme cold because of the spread of the blue airflow.
At this moment, an extremely powerful internal force suddenly broke into Zhao Ziming's body, and before he could react, the internal force in his dantian spontaneously ran wildly, carrying a trace of blue airflow, and collided with the external internal force.
Zhao Ziming's eyes darkened, and he fainted, and the external internal force also withdrew from his body.
However, his own internal force showed no signs of stopping, and although the speed of his operation was reduced again, it was still running in the meridians.
Due to the self-rebound of the internal force, the previous situation was caused, and the old man's internal force could no longer enter Zhao Ziming's body.
At this moment, Zhao Ziming's internal force is running unhurriedly, and every week of operation, the total amount will increase greatly.
At the same time, warm currents suddenly poured out of his flesh and blood, merging with the blue air currents into the internal force, flowing all over his body, and his wounded meridians healed at an alarming speed under the action of these two forces, and became wider and tougher.
If the old man knew that Zhao Ziming was not worried about his life, and his blood lingzhi was only used to treat the latter's meridian wounds, he would probably be distressed half to death.
After half an hour, the old man would check Zhao Ziming's condition, and saw that his pulse was gradually stabilizing, and the big stone in his heart finally fell, but fortunately, there were no chickens and eggs.
It wasn't until the next morning that Zhao Ziming woke up. The old man who was guarding next to him didn't say a word, grabbed Zhao Ziming's vein, and probed through with a wisp of internal force.
Frowning and pondering, after a while, the old man asked, "How long have you been practicing martial arts?"
Zhao Ziming sensed the situation in his body and knew that he couldn't hide it, although he didn't know this old man, but from the internal force contact just now, the other party's strength was at least not weaker than the hall master, so he had to answer honestly: "It's been nearly half a year." ”
"Half a year. The old man stroked his beard and squinted his eyes, "I see that your internal strength has reached a level close to the second layer, and the meridians are broad, and the roots and bones are wonderful, so you are a good seedling for practicing martial arts." ”
He pondered for a moment and said, "I want to accept you as a personal disciple, what do you think?"
Zhao Ziming was stunned and said, "The hall master said......"
The old man interrupted him with an impatient wave, "It's about him, I'm asking you, if he has an opinion, the old man will go to him to discuss, and you answer my question." ”
Zhao Ziming was secretly shocked, listening to his tone, this old man's strength seemed to be above his own estimate.
Such a strong person wants to accept himself as an apprentice, and others are afraid that they will be ecstatic, but Zhao Ziming vaguely sensed that something was wrong, and the old man seemed to have other plans.
Actually, this is also because after Zhao Ziming was bitten by a strange insect yesterday, he didn't know anything about what happened later, otherwise he would definitely be able to guess.
The old man saw Zhao Ziming's hesitant look, glared, and the terrifying momentum of yesterday emanated again, "The old man can't come to deceive you little baby, I will take you as an apprentice, it is indeed for another purpose, but it will not harm your life, to put it mildly, what the old man asked, few people in the Lone Wolf Gang can refuse." ”
Zhao Ziming was shrouded in the old man's momentum, as if he had been choked by the neck, and he was out of breath, only then did he understand how powerful the old man was.
Fortunately, as soon as the old man's momentum was released, Zhao Ziming took a few deep breaths, his pale face improved, and he hurriedly said, "The kid is willing." ”
Just kidding, if you still refuse without knowing each other, God knows if this old guy will kill himself, presumably for the old guy, this is no more difficult than pinching an ant to death.
Seeing that he agreed, the old man's face looked good, he snorted and said, "Apprentice." ”
Zhao Ziming had no choice but to kneel, bowed to the master, and shouted: "Apprentice to see the master." ”
The old man helped Zhao Ziming up and said, "The old man is nameless, others call me Yao Lao, so you can call me a pharmacist." ”
Zhao Ziming nodded and said, "Yes, pharmacist." ”
The medicine old monster stroked his beard and muttered: "You have cold poison in your body, mixed with internal force, it is not good for the teacher to forcibly expel the poison for you, and now I have to use medicine to solve it, I am afraid that I will have to stay here for a few more days." ”
Zhao Ziming's face changed, "Pharmacist, I'm poisoned?"
The medicine old monster glanced at him, "You can try the exercises." ”
Zhao Ziming did as he said, and sure enough, he found that something was wrong, his internal force seemed to be ten million times heavier, and he couldn't operate at all.
The medicine old monster handed him a small porcelain bottle, "The medicine in the bottle is taken three times a day, one at a time, and then go to stay in the sun, and after three or five days, you will be cured." ”
......
The midsummer sun scorched the earth, and the air was slightly distorted, which showed the high temperature.
In a courtyard in the deepest part of Cuiyuan, Zhao Ziming lay leisurely on a bench, closed his eyes, and let the scorching sun shine on his body.
Strangely, in such heat, there was not a single sweat coming out of his skin.
After the medicine boss gave the medicine just now, he left in a good mood. Zhao Ziming immediately followed his instructions, swallowed the pill in a porcelain bottle, and sat in the courtyard to bask in the sun.
At this moment, the situation in Zhao Ziming's body was in a mess, and the internal force and a cold force were entangled, filling the meridians, slowly flowing at a ridiculously slow speed, even if he wanted to run the exercises, he couldn't do it.
What made Zhao Ziming feel most tricky was that there was too much internal force in his body, the dantian was full, and the meridians were also stuffed seven or eight out of ten, plus the running speed was so slow, he didn't know where to start.
Fortunately, with the sunlight, his body temperature slowly rose, and the internal force was running a lot faster, and he could already try to run the exercises.
After a week, Zhao Ziming was shocked to find that his internal strength had increased again, and his meridians were overwhelmed, and they were already swollen with some pain.
Zhao Ziming sat up from the chair, he had a headache, and he didn't know what to do, in this case, unless he stopped cultivating, he would sooner or later be blown up by internal forces.
Suddenly, he was stunned, slapped his head, stupid!
As soon as he woke up, he had a strange feeling, he had always thought that it was the cause of those cold powers in his body, but now he suddenly remembered that the feeling was similar to when he opened the meridians and broke through to the first layer.
Broke through on your own!
It's just that I didn't practice the follow-up exercises and open up the meridians!
Finding the root of the problem, Zhao Ziming looked around, saw that there was no one around, and found something from his body, it was the picture scroll, which was his biggest secret, and he had been keeping it close to him.
Opening the scroll, the sun shines, and on the first portrait of the person on the left, a twisted golden line is slowly outlined, which is the running route of the first layer of the Nameless Exercise.
Zhao Ziming's eyes fell on the second portrait, but after waiting for a long time, there was no movement, he raised the scroll above his head, and there was no change.
