Chapter 9 Leaving Relatives and Traveling Far Away
Zhang Ran knelt in front of his grandfather's grave and confided in his grandfather about his experiences over the years and his future plans.
Father and mother are old, and their bodies and bones are no longer as good as before, so they should also enjoy the blessings. Zhang Bao and Zhang Hui are also about to grow up, he doesn't want his younger siblings to follow the old path of their father and mother, and they should live a happy life at their age. Give them a good starting point, and they will avoid many detours.
Zhang Ran also thought of himself, and he could be regarded as embarking on the path of cultivation, although it was the first glimpse of the doorway, but with the first step to start, the road of cultivation in the future would be longer, and it would be impossible for him to stay by their side forever. After arranging the family affairs, you can confidently pursue the unreal path of cultivating immortals.
After dinner, Zhang Ran said to Zhang Bao and Xiaohui, you two go to the gate to guard the door, Xiaohui gave the eldest brother a fierce look, so he had to pull Zhang Bao out, Zhang Ran got up and closed the door. Father and mother looked at Zhang Ran puzzled.
Zhang Ran was noncommittal, took out a package from the room, and put it on the dining table.
Then, with a smile and said to her mother to open it, her mother glanced at Zhang Ran hesitantly and went to untie the slipknot of the package. Thousands of silver tickets were tied in a pile. Zhang Ran said that there are a total of 800,000 silver tickets here. Daddy opened her mouth wide, where had they ever seen a silver ticket in their lives, let alone that they had never heard of such a huge amount. Zhang Ran tied the package again and pushed it into her mother's hand, and her mother picked up the package and walked into the back room tremblingly. Zhang Ran went to open the door.
The family sat down again, and the father and mother obviously hadn't recovered from the shock just now.
"Dad, mother, let's move. ”
"Where's the move?" Zhang Bao hurriedly interjected.
"Brother, don't you want it here?" Xiaohui was reluctant.
Father and mother didn't speak, knowing that Zhang Ran had a plan in his heart, and their Ran was very assertive. Zhang Ran said the reason why he had been thinking about it for a long time, but he didn't say anything about his own business. Mom and Dad looked at each other and nodded. This is a piece of Ran'er's heart.
The happiest are Zhang Bao and Xiaohui, Zhang Bao didn't expect that he would have the opportunity to go to the school to study, Xiaohui has long been eager to understand what it is like outside Gutang Mountain.
Two days later, Zhang Ran went to Qingluoji and found the two brothers Shenghua and Shengyong to express their thoughts, and they admired Zhang Ran. Zhang Ran asked Shenghua and their relatives to buy a shop facing the street. There are three large houses behind the shop, which is enough for a family to live comfortably. When he came back, Zhang Ran hired a big car.
There was nothing to bring, the mother was holding the package given by Zhang Ran by herself, and the father was also holding a package containing a few changes of clothes, Zhang Bao and Xiaohui were empty-handed, and they boarded the carriage. Zhang Ran followed behind on horseback, carrying a green steel sword in his hand.
In the eyes of the villagers of Gutang Village, my father and mother were full of red light, and my father said loudly outside the car, I want the furs in the back mountains, and the price of our shop is high. Dad's words were discussed with Zhang Ran before he came out, Zhang Ran didn't expect to make any money, just to cover up.
The stone that had been stored in Zhang Ran's heart for a long time fell to the ground, and the string in his body gradually relaxed.
He went to see the husband of the jukudo and thanked him again and again for his teachings. Mr. said that the way of doing business is also very good.
Everything is on the right track, there is nothing for him to worry about for the time being, and his cultivation must be carried out quickly. I greeted my father and mother, saying that I was going to accompany my grandfather for a while, and told them not to worry.
The grass on the grave is green, and the yin and yang are separated by passers-by.
Zhang Ran built a simple wooden house in front of his grandfather's grave, one is convenient for cultivation, since he returned home from Gushan City, he has been so busy that he has not even found a stable time to practice, and the other wants to accompany his grandfather more, and he doesn't know what year the next moment will be.
Zhang Ran gathered his mind and meditated cross-legged. He pinched the trick with both hands and operated according to the mental method of "Breaking the Acupoint and Passing the Pulse". Although the acupoints have been opened, it is still necessary to consolidate the pregnancy and nourishment, and the meridians must be moisturized and strengthened from time to time. According to the Mind Method, you should run the exercises for at least one hour every day. Zhang Ran confessed, during this period of time, he was busy with mundane affairs and neglected to cultivate, and he really couldn't resist the great opportunity that he had worked so hard to get.
Wisps of breath quietly appeared in Zhang Ran's meridians, and with the mantra of the heart, like a swimming fish happily swimming in the ocean of meridians. With a leap of excitement, he drilled into the dantian in his lower abdomen, merging with the original power. Although the "Breaking the Cave and Pulse Technique" is wonderful, it is impossible to give birth to new power after seven weeks of operation. Zhang Ran didn't know that this was actually the spiritual power of the dragon blood fruit that had not completely dissolved, and all of it had precipitated in the flesh and bones. He likes his current state very much, and the subtlety of the exercises has made him enter a state of selflessness.
What kind of power is this? It can't be spiritual power, because he hasn't cultivated the Immortal Cultivation Technique. Only by cultivating the magic of cultivating immortals will the acupoints absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and the meridians will have spiritual power. This force in Zhang Ran's dantian can only be said to be an internal force. There was a huge internal force qi mass rotating in his dantian, which was incredibly thick, and it seemed to be inexhaustible.
It's a pity that Zhang Ran doesn't know how to use internal force, and he has the wealth of a rich country, but he is like a poor egg. The effect of "Breaking the Pulse Technique" is to break the barrier between heaven and earth and the human body, establish a channel of communication, and prevent the internal force in the dantian from becoming a source of water. Is there a technique that can mobilize this kind of power? This is like having thousands of troops under his command, but he does not have the right to mobilize, and Zhang Ran is very dissatisfied.
It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice. Zhang Ran stopped and took out a paper bag from the package, which turned out to be a yellowed secret book, with four characters on it - "The Sword of the Wind". Zhang Ran was overjoyed, he didn't expect his luck to be so good.
Three sword tricks, one is "resisting the wind", the second is "chasing the wind", and the third is "frightening the wind". Each move is accompanied by a short mantra of the sword trick run, and there is no human body drawing. At the end, it is pointed out that if there is no internal strength, this sword practice is useless. Damn Wang Yuan, he didn't hand it over to him earlier, Zhang Ran cursed in his heart.
What do you want, Zhang Ran is looking forward to it.
The so-called sword trick is the method of using internal force, supplemented by a sword, to maximize the role of internal force.
"Yu Feng," Zhang Ran snorted lightly, and swung a sword vigorously according to the running route of the sword technique. Hmm, the internal force of the dantian does not move at all. Zhang Ran tried it all over again, but he still couldn't mobilize his internal force, what was going on? Could it be that there was something wrong with the mental method of the sword technique. Zhang Ran still didn't give up, the third time, the fourth time...... Still can't do it. What went wrong? Zhang Ran was puzzled.
Internal force, what kind of existence is it, Zhang Ran racked his brains and pondered. If he really can't think of it, let it go first, this is his habit.
Below the hillside is the Gutang River. The blue water is microwaved, the fish are fine stones, and the oily aquatic plants are swaying softly. Thinking of the slapstick and frolic of playing with water when he was a child, the corners of Zhang Ran's mouth rippled with a warm smile. They are the little white fish in the Gutang River, no, they are the trickle in the river, and the flow is not the spirituality of the water. Subconsciously, Zhang Ran swung a sword.
A faint induction is like a wave splashing in the dantian. There seem to be a lot of small fish swimming around in the meridians. With each swing of the sword, the small fish in the meridians swam faster and faster, and the water in the dantian also bloomed, echoing with the small fish.
The internal force is water, no, it should be white clouds, fresh wind, and the internal force is flowing and changing. At this moment, Zhang Ran understood. Resist the wind, this sword trick, isn't it to transport the internal force of the dantian to the meridians. As soon as he was excited, Zhang Ran forgot to sword after sword, and one sword was faster than the other. The mobilization of internal force is almost as easy and smooth as the arm command, and I have to say that Zhang Ran's talent is very high.
Fulfillment, satisfaction, gratification. Watching the white clouds strolling freely, watching the flowing water go away leisurely, Zhang Ran's cultivation gradually got better.
"Chasing the wind" is not chasing the wind, but faster than the wind. "Resisting the wind" is to control the internal force flexibly and skillfully, and "chasing the wind" is to speed up the internal force. Zhang Ran closed his eyes, and a sword came out, and the sword shadow was like meteor lightning, and there was no trace to be found. The vortex of internal force accelerated and rotated, and a stream of internal force was thrown towards the meridians and submerged into the sword body, and a white sword qi flew out with a "boom" of the green steel sword, and a small tree not far away was cut off. If you don't do it, you don't stop doing it, Zhang Ran struck while the iron was hot, and countless white sword qi sounded crisply, surrounded by a piece of broken branches and leaves.
Zhang Ran panted like a cow, sweat on his forehead was like raindrops, and he sat on the ground with his buttocks, and there was not much internal force left in the dantian.
He hurriedly meditated cross-legged, and used all his strength to use the pranayama of the "Breaking Acupoints and Pulses" to restore his internal strength. The open points are like hungry mouths asking for the aura of heaven and earth. It is a pity that the aura of the mundane world is equal to nothing. Zhang Ran found that there was a faint heat in some parts of his body, but he couldn't turn it on, and he sighed, if only there was another dragon blood fruit. Zhang Ran regretted that he still meticulously ran the exercises, and he was convinced that as long as he persisted, he would reap the rewards.
The green steel sword, which looked extremely hard, was covered with cracks, Zhang Ran shook his head regretfully, and it really couldn't withstand the internal force. It's time to go get a different sword.
He didn't practice the third form of the sword technique, because he hadn't yet comprehended the mystery of the "frightening wind". Zhang Ran was already quite satisfied, and the cultivation of the past two months had far exceeded what he had imagined when he came. If you want to make greater progress in your cultivation, you can only go through thousands of mountains and rivers to find your own opportunities. Qinghuang cultivates the immortal realm, I have been suppressed in my heart for a long time, and there is that small ebony box that can't be opened, the longer this kind of thing is held, the stronger it becomes. Zhang Ran kowtowed goodbye in front of his grandfather's grave, and reluctantly went down the mountain to leave.
The first thing to solve at the moment was to find a suitable sword, and he thought of the Shenghua Shengyong brothers, and instead of going home directly, he went to the blacksmith shop first.
"Jingle bell", deafening, two brothers one holding iron tongs, the other dancing with a sledgehammer.
Zhang Ran directly explained the intention. Sheng Hua said: "There are several pieces of fine iron in the shop, and it is not much of a problem to fight a sword, but the price is expensive." Zhang Ran didn't say a word, and took out a silver ticket of two thousand taels from his arms and asked if it was enough. Sheng Yong said repeatedly, enough is enough, he doesn't mean too much. Five days later, I came to pick it up, and Zhang Ran left. The two brothers muttered to themselves what they were going to do with their swords in business.
Back at home, Zhang Ran called the whole family to the big house in the middle. Father and mother pondered this look, knowing that their Ran was going to go far away, and the mother's tears were dripping on the placket.
Xiaohui was puzzled, opened her beautiful big eyes, and said, "What are you crying about, brother doesn't want us anymore, right, brother." Well, Zhang Ran stroked Xiaohui's braid lovingly.
Zhang Bao grinned and said, "Big brother, I recognized a lot of words in the school, and Mr. said that I can also go to the children's exam." ”
Zhang Ran said that it didn't matter if he couldn't pass the children's exam, he would come back to help his father and mother take care of the shop, and Zhang Bao agreed.
Zhang Ran has been talking with his father and mother for the past few days, making Xiaohui happy, and Zhang Bao is in the school during the day.
The day of parting is near. Zhang Ran got up early in the morning and didn't alarm them.
Zhang Ran knelt on the ground in the courtyard in front of the house and kowtowed to his father's house. In fact, when she heard the sound in Zhang Ran's house, her father and mother had already gotten up and saw Ran'er kneeling in the yard.
When it came to separation, Zhang Ran was speechless and frozen.
The avenue is unforgiving.
