Early the next morning, Cheng Hao came to Old Man Zhao's house and continued to repeat the moves he had taught yesterday. After a few hours, I finally lost my strength and was exhausted, so I had to beg for a rest. But Lao Zhao Tou directly refused, "Continue to practice, when you feel exhausted, it is the best time to break the limits of your body, you can't stop without my permission, come again!"

In desperation, Cheng Hao could only follow Lao Zhaotou's instructions and keep practicing, he couldn't hold on anymore, but he couldn't stop, he could only rely on a willpower to keep waving the wooden sword in his hand.

When he felt as if he was about to faint in the next moment, suddenly, a strange sensation erupted from his body. In this state, his physical strength seemed to be recovering at an extremely rapid pace, as if the exhaustion he had just experienced was nothing more than an illusion. At that moment, Cheng Hao immediately cheered up and practiced the most basic moves in this swordsmanship over and over again. Until exhausted again......

According to Lao Zhao Tou, this is a way to break the limit of the body, but Cheng Hao only has one chance to break the limit every day, and no matter how hard he works, this situation will never appear a second time.

Whenever this happens, Lao Zhao Tou will teach him to meditate and recover his strength. In the evening, when it is close to dusk, Lao Zhaotou will prepare a bucket full of hot water for him to bathe. This is a potion made by boiling various herbs. Some of these medicinal materials were bought by Lao Zhao Tou outside, and some were collected from the mountains.

Whenever the evening is finished, Cheng Hao doesn't know whether to be happy or sad. Happily, every time he finished the medicated bath, he seemed to feel every inch of muscles, meridians, and bones in his body slowly strengthening, and this was indeed the case! It was really painful and happy.

In the blink of an eye, Cheng Hao has been practicing with Old Man Zhao for more than half a month, and in a few days it will be Chinese New Year's Eve, and today Cheng Hao began to meditate after practicing as usual, "The left foot is placed on the right leg, the right foot is placed on the left foot, the body is straight, the breath is heavy, and the hand knot is imprinted under the navel..."

Suddenly, Cheng Hao seemed to feel that something was not quite right, "Master, there seems to be something wrong with my practice, when I meditate today, I felt that there was a stream of air flowing in my body, but it slowly dissipated in the blink of an eye. Isn't it going crazy?"

Old man Zhao was not surprised when he heard this, how could he not know what the reason was with his skills? He praised in his mouth: "Good boy, you have already generated internal force in your body after meditating for half a month, the old man really didn't see the wrong person, now I will teach you how to control the operation of the true qi in your body..."

At this time, Cheng Hao realized that the airflow he felt at this time was actually the so-called internal force of a martial artist. Curious, he once again entered a state of meditation, and slowly he felt the "qi" again, according to the old Zhao Tou's teaching, Cheng Hao controlled this air flow to slowly run along the body meridians, and finally slowly merged it into the dantian. After nearly a full day of practice, from the first failure, to the occasional success, and then to the success almost every time, this day finally mastered the way the internal force operates.

"Finally succeeded!" Cheng Hao was a little excited at this time, what he had been practicing in the past half a month had been the basic moves in swordsmanship, and he had to practice until he was exhausted every time. Other than that, it's very boring meditation. Now that he has comprehended the internal force, although it is pitiful and pitiful, it is completely impossible to use it, but he is still very happy, and unknown things are always easy to make people curious and fresh!

"Yes, in the past few days, you can temporarily put aside the practice of sword moves and feel the internal force, and you can also carry the jade pendant with you now. Let's go take a shower and go back early today!

After Lao Zhao finished speaking, he returned the jade pendant to Cheng Hao and prepared today's medicinal bath for him in advance.

Back home, Cheng Hao took out the jade pendant, the reason why Lao Zhao didn't let him carry it with him before was to not affect him to break through the limits of his body, but now it is not necessary for the time being.

"According to the teacher, meditating with this jade pendant will have unexpected effects, so let's try it. ”

Just do it, when Cheng Hao meditated again with the jade pendant in his hand, and slowly entered the state, and after a while, he felt an internal force growing in his body again! This time, he found that this internal force was much purer than what he sensed during the day, although it was more difficult to control, but it was not beyond the scope of his control. And the control of this true qi is more mentally consuming, and whenever the spirit is tired, there will always be a soft light on the jade pendant to make up for the consumption of spiritual power.

Before I knew it, I had been meditating all night. But Cheng Hao didn't feel the slightest tiredness, because of the relationship between the jade pendant, his spiritual power has always been in a full state, and the dantian has increased a lot of true qi, which makes him feel very happy

With excitement, Cheng Hao told Lao Zhao Tou everything last night.

Old Zhao Tou only glanced at it slightly and nodded: "Yes, it has already begun to be dark." After that, the words turned again, "Hao'er, everything is about step-by-step, don't be in a hurry, that jade pendant can keep you at your peak almost all the time, but over-reliance on foreign objects may be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort in a short period of time, but it also makes you less aware of the cultivation process, but it is just pulling out the seedlings to help grow, and the disadvantages outweigh the benefits." The road ahead is up to you, and the time I can guide you is running out, so think about it yourself!"

After hearing this, Cheng Hao finally realized that the master returned the jade pendant to himself yesterday, which was just a test. Just like the previous exercises, you need to rely on your own willpower to constantly break the limits of your body, and the principle of practicing internal skills is actually the same, you need to slowly run in and adapt to this process, rather than relying on external things to take the so-called shortcuts.

"Got it, Grandpa Zhao. ”

Lao Zhao Tou said: "It's good that you understand, from now on, you will continue to practice sword every morning and meditate in the afternoon." If there is anything you don't understand, just ask."

"Oh!"

Cheng Hao answered, and walked silently to the backyard. Since the internal force in his body was generated, he found that he was very different from before, which made Cheng Hao change his normal behavior and have some interest in practicing martial arts.

Every night when Cheng Hao returns from practice, he will insist on using the jade pendant to restore his spirit and insist on reading. Since apprenticeship, Old Man Zhao has suddenly become very strict, and he is no longer the amiable Grandpa Zhao in the past, but Cheng Hao has never complained, he knows that Old Man Zhao is good for him.

At this moment, Old Man Zhao was looking at Cheng Hao from the side and nodded silently. The Spring Festival is approaching, but the weather is still cold, and all of Cheng Hao's performances can be hidden from his eyes. Even if it's just for the sake of a promise to himself, he will stick to it to the end. Cheng Hao has never had any doubts about the change in his attitude.

In Old Man Zhao's opinion, with a little guidance, Cheng Hao will be successful in the future. This is also one of the reasons why he chose Cheng Hao. Jade is not a weapon, he must be strict with Cheng Hao, he hopes that after he leaves, this child will be able to survive better no matter what happens in the future.

In the past few years, there have been more people in the vicinity of the village, and he must make a decision. He didn't want this quiet little mountain village to be implicated by him one day, all because of him, but he had no choice, he had been living in seclusion here for decades, he was not a good-natured lord himself, and he no longer had the energy to deal with these people.

In addition, if those people can't bear it one day, how can this small village withstand this involvement? The cultivation of Cheng Hao can be regarded as doing his last bit for this village.
