Chapter 21: Identity Leads to Conflict
After some repeated deliberations, Lu Chengfeng decided to take a gamble, when no one was around to teach him, he could only believe in himself, which was the only reliable way.
As soon as he thought of this, he immediately sat down cross-legged, concentrating on his energy, and after the aura gradually entered his body, the scorching qi in his body was ready to move. Lu Chengfeng's forehead was constantly breaking out in cold sweat due to discomfort, and he could clearly sense that the scorching qi was surging upward, and the moment it surged to his throat, his body suddenly tightened, and he felt a splitting headache.
The discomfort was indescribable, and he held his mind, but his throat seemed to be choked by something, and his breathing became rapid, and at that moment he even felt like he was going to die. I don't know how long it took, his whole body was already sweating profusely, and his body couldn't stop shaking, but at the moment when his eyes went black, it seemed that something spit out of his mouth and nose. After that, all the discomfort disappeared immediately, and the illusion was that the whole person suddenly felt as if it was about to float.
When he opened his eyes, there was a black qi floating in front of him, which did not dissipate for a long time, and he was immediately overjoyed, "I have finally broken through the early stage of qi training!"
The so-called "everything is difficult at the beginning", after breaking through the early stage of Qi training, the middle and late stages are skillful in controlling the aura in the body by mind, and then making the aura run normally in the body. The aura travels along the meridians for a week, which is called Zhoutian, and the small Zhoutian that follows the two meridians of Rendu. The small Zhou Tian and the four limbs are called the Great Zhou Tian.
There was a short and concise mantra in that parchment scroll, which must have been the experience that Xiao Xiaoyao had gained from cultivating for many years. Mantra cloud, "Qi sinks the dantian to the perineum, and breaks through the tail of the spring." Open up the Du pulse and gather the large vertebrae, and let the meridians pass after the pulse. "The essence of this mantra is to open up the meridians of the whole body, so that the aura can sink into the dantian after entering the body. Once you learn to condense the dantian, you have reached the realm of foundation building.
In the days that followed, Lu Chengfeng spent his days refining qi day and night in addition to finding something to eat, relying on his mind to urge the aura to run in his body for an unknown number of weeks. The whole person also became much more energetic unconsciously, and even walked much easier, although he could not eat, he did not feel hungry. When the wound of obsession had healed, he could already feel the faint heating squirming in the dantian. After repeating this for a long time, he finally reached the foundation building realm one day two months later with a shock to his whole body. The entire gas refining process only took about two months, and the speed was already very fast.
Just broke through, Lu Chengfeng's mood was also much soothed, at least, he was not as unbearable as the head of Cijian said. After thinking about it, he had already walked out of the mountains and forests, not because he wanted to be lazy, but when he thought of Liu Tianci, he couldn't help but be a little worried about Lu Ping'an, and by the way, he investigated the situation in the back mountain. Of course, this move must be unaware, otherwise there will be more troubles at that time.
It was midnight, and the men were already asleep. He walked lightly across the suspension bridge, and was about to go up the mountain road, but two rays of light suddenly crossed in the air, and with the light of an instant, he vaguely saw two people stopped on the mountain road halfway up the mountain. But seeing this situation, Lu Chengfeng hid in the thatch at the head of the bridge at a very fast speed.
At the same time, there was another person who came down from the mountain, but because it was pitch black in front of him, he couldn't see who was coming. But it must be a person from the back mountain. Thinking that something must be wrong, he just held his breath and listened carefully to the movement not far away.
"What's going on?
Listening to the voice, this person must be Li Yunfei, presumably the kid he said was Lu Chengfeng. It seems that he must be unwilling, even if he comes to Shushan, he is sending people everywhere to find his whereabouts.
"We searched all over Liutai Town, but I haven't seen any trace of that kid!"
Someone replied in the darkness.
"What about the woman in red?"
Li Yunfei's voice was obviously annoyed.
Hearing this, Lu Chengfeng was shocked, in fact, he was also eager to know where Shangguan Xing'er was now. As soon as he thought of this, he turned his ear sideways again so that he could hear more clearly, for fear that he would accidentally miss any news about her.
Unexpectedly, no one replied for a long time, presumably because the two of them were ineffective, and they knew their young master's temper very well, so they refused to say a word more.
"You useless things, you always brag about how good you are. I can't even find two people for nearly three months, what's the use of me raising you!" Li Yunfei was already a little angry, and even his voice was much louder, "I don't believe they can disappear out of thin air, I will give you another two months, if you can't find ...... again"
"Young master, I'll go right away!"
The voice was honestly afraid, afraid that if his young master was angry, his life would be difficult to protect.
After listening to their conversation, Lu Chengfeng's heart immediately felt much more relaxed, as long as she was fine, he would feel at ease. However, if you want to solve the current crisis, I am afraid that you will have to continue to cultivate. After the others had left, he stayed for a long time, making sure they were far away, and then got up and walked towards the courtyard.
But as soon as he got up, he was in trouble, Li Yunfei might be in the courtyard at the moment, if he went up at this moment, maybe he happened to meet him, and after hesitating for a while, he suddenly came to mind. Then a loud whistle sounded through the valley, and at the same time woke up the sleeping Lu Ping'an.
Childhood memories come back to their minds, and the two often use this as a code to invite each other out to play, especially at night. But as soon as Lu Ping'an heard this whistle, he would follow the sound as quickly as possible, and only in this way could he avoid the eyes and ears of the second aunt, and he had tried and failed.
After a while, a figure crept down the hill, looking around vigilantly, and whispering a name. Lu Chengfeng pulled him over and made a silent gesture.
The night is too late, but I don't see it, I only hear it.
"During my absence, they didn't embarrass you!"
"No!" Lu Ping'an replied in a low voice, "It's just ...... Just ......"
Hearing that his tone was low, he wanted to speak and stopped, and there was a faint crying tone, Lu Chengfeng was shocked, thinking that something must have happened, so he asked softly, "What's wrong? Did they bully you?"
"A few days ago, Liu Tianci came back from the mountain and told me that my father was seriously ill and my mother was looking for me everywhere......"
Hearing this, the two of them were silent, the second uncle's illness has been a long time, as for what the disease is, it is unknown, only that the second aunt has invited a lot of Lang Zhong to see a doctor over the years, and she has kept grabbing medicine, but she has spent all the family's savings over the years, but the condition has never improved, and she is only sick in bed all year round. In this matter, it is better to believe it or not, regardless of whether Liu Tianci said this is true or not, but it is also a fact that the second uncle's illness is getting worse day by day, Lu Ping'an has been saying goodbye for many days, and it is very likely that the second uncle will aggravate his condition due to worry. Therefore, whether it is true or not, it is necessary to go down the mountain.
As soon as he thought of this, Lu Chengfeng's heart was also aching faintly, and he said after a while, "Then you hurry up and go down the mountain with that silver!"
"The days after you left, Liu Tianci threatened me to tell Li Yunfei of your identity, you finally went to Shushan, I was worried that you would be implicated, so I gave him all the silver in desperation, and Li Yunfei said that as long as I went down the mountain, I didn't have to come back!"
Thinking about it, Lu Ping'an must have endured it for a long time, he was originally an unassertive person, worried about his father's illness on the one hand, and worried about implicating himself on the other. For many days, my heart must have been tormented, but the pain in my heart was unspoken, and I had to bear it alone, isolated and helpless. If it weren't for himself, Lu Ping'an could have lived his duty at home, but as a brother, he never took good care of him, but he still ended up in such a situation.
As soon as he thought of this, Lu Chengfeng was immediately furious, his fists were clenched tightly, and he shouted, "Lao Tzu is looking for him!" As he spoke, he grabbed Lu Ping'an and walked towards the mountain.
But Lu Ping'an insisted on refusing, shook off his hand and said, "If you have a conflict with them, it will be difficult for you to have a foothold in Shushan in the future! I don't want to affect you!"
Lu Chengfeng didn't let go of him at all, as if he didn't hear him speak, and regardless of his struggle, he dragged him straight up the mountain.
The two of them came to the courtyard, facing Liu Tianci's room, Lu Chengfeng kicked his door open, and grabbed the sleeping Liu Tianci and punched him in front of the door.
Before the guy could react, blood flowed immediately, and when he saw that the person was about to resist, he was slapped on the face again, and a palm print immediately appeared on his face.
Lu Ping'an grabbed him and whispered, "Don't make things bigger!"
Liu Tianci knew that he was not an opponent, so he shouted, "Come on! Kill someone......
As soon as the words fell, the surrounding rooms immediately lit up, followed by the sound of the door opening, and the sound of hurried footsteps.
Lu Chengfeng was like an angry lion at the moment, he shook off Lu Ping'an, clenched his fists and beat Liu Tianci's head hard, only to hear the guy's constant 'oops, oops', and had no power to fight back.
It took a lot of effort for everyone to pull the two apart, but before Liu Tianci could get up, he was beaten to blood.
"You sneaked back to the back mountain and didn't say anything, but you dared to touch my people, don't you want to live!" Li Yunfei looked contemptuous, raised his eyebrows and shouted.
