Chapter 17: Prophecy: Becoming a samurai at the age of eighteen
After taking Qingling porridge on an empty stomach and high-intensity training in the morning, Chen Jiang's second-order mental method has already made slight progress.
Although the Chen family's mental method can only guarantee the entry, for now, it can barely be used. After Chen Jiang sat down, he was not in a hurry to practice, he recalled the content of the third-order mental method, little by little, step by step.
There are not many important points involved in the Chen Family Heart Method, there are 48 in total, mainly distributed in the front chest and back.
Since it is only a simple introductory mental method, there are very few places that require cultivators to take the initiative to adjust. Since everyone's physique is different, less room for adjustment means that the effect is weakened compared to a strong exercise. Of course, it's not entirely unnecessary to adjust. The meridians of the human body are so mysterious and complex, they will not be flexible, and one day they will go crazy.
Thinking and then moving, Chen Jiang slowly drew his internal strength into the dantian. Under the medicinal power of Qingling grass, the dantian, as the engine of internal force, is extremely powerful. Soon, the internal force surged out, like a bubbling warm current, and hit the acupoints one by one along the internal energy running route of the third-order mental method. Everywhere he went, he didn't follow what the heart said, a little bit of impact, a little bit of prying, but simply immersed in the past, and soon, several big points were conquered.
In the stage of condensing air pockets, it is most important to lay the foundation.
With the overcoming of the next few big points, the momentum of the internal force weakened a little, Chen Jiang thought to himself, and then hit back, and the chance to win in one drum was greatly reduced, since this is the case, then slowly try to figure it out. The second-order completion degree has also reached 8%, although it cannot be compared with the effect of the first medication, but in terms of two and three, it cannot be regarded as slow.
Thinking like this, Chen Jiang relaxed and was about to finish his work, when suddenly, his shoulders were numb, and a true qi rushed into his air pockets.
True Qi is the true qi that can only be possessed by innate masters.
Don't think about it, it's Old Ghost Yan who is helping him with his luck. It's just a true qi, and the power is extremely powerful. When an external force entered his body, Chen Jiang subconsciously mobilized the internal force of his whole body to chase and intercept him. However, that true qi is as flexible as a little mouse, and Chen Jiang's extensive way of controlling internal force can catch up with a single bit.
The true qi entered the Chenjiang meridians, ignoring the others, and running one after another big Zhou Tian by himself. Chen Jiang couldn't look inward yet, but it seemed that after the True Qi Seed entered his body, every detail of his meridians was groped out by True Qi, and nothing was missed. He was clearly perceiving that his main meridians were being widened and condensed little by little, and his already tired internal breath was scattered to his 48 main qi points little by little under the drive of his true qi.
At the same time, Chen Jiang's whole body was filled with warmth, so comfortable that he almost screamed.
Soon, Chen Jiang understood Old Ghost Yan's intentions.
Although Chen Jiang could clearly feel every air pocket. But this kind of induction is like a radar map in the fog, it is only a vague direction, and it is not as good as the GPS positioning of the old ghost, which directly marks the large air pockets, as if the fog is swept away, and all the passes must be seen at a glance. Moreover, Old Ghost Yan left a wedge in the air pocket, and Chen Jiang officially impacted them, and when he condensed them, he would undoubtedly get twice the result with half the effort.
casually punching in a piece of true qi can make a clear understanding of other people's mental methods, and also give a lot of accurate guidance.
This...... Is this the power of the Innate Master?
Chen Jiang was shocked, and checked his level completion, which was already 48%. Old Ghost Yan has risen by 40 percentage points like this.
"Nice, nice, good physique. The medicinal power was fully activated. ”
When Chen Jiang opened his eyes, he found that Old Ghost Yan was looking himself up and down. Seeing that Chen Jiang's luck was finished, Old Ghost Yan smiled and asked, "How do you feel?"
"Old ghost, you're fucking amazing. Chen Jiang praised from the bottom of his heart.
"It's good to know. Well, it's also your physique that suits. Old Ghost Yan stood with his hands in his hands, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Hai Rongxun is also good." The two of you are still in the second order, but as long as you train according to my requirements, I guarantee that you will become a samurai in half a year to the third order and two years. Chen Jiang, you are only sixteen now! Two years later, you will be eighteen. Eighteen-year-old warriors, Yunshan Town can also be counted. ”
Hai Rongxun also stood up at this time, he bowed to Old Ghost Yan, thanked him, and then stopped talking.
"Master, master, where am I?"
The little fat man Niu Hong hurriedly pulled the sleeve of the old ghost Yan, "I am nineteen this year, and twenty-one in two years." ”
"You?" said Yan Lao Ghost.
"Yes, master, what do you think of me?" Niu Hong asked while wiping his sweat.
"Well, your potential is still good. Within two years, if you work a little harder, you should be able to impact the second-order martial disciples. ”
"Second Order Martial Apprentice, or is it just an impact?" Niu Hong's eyes widened, "Am I that bad?"
"I'm going to be mistaken, I'm going to be wrong about you little rabbits?" Old Ghost Yan was furious and roared, "Let me tell you, whoever dares to question my authority in the Rock Camp will only end up eating wild vegetables." ”
"Aren't we just eating wild vegetables now?" Niu Hong cried with a sad face.
"If you have money, you can add vegetables. You just came, that is, to dry you. The senior brother who was watching the excitement next to him interjected.
"Go, go, get out of the way. ”
Old Ghost Yan hurried up to coax the old student, turned to Niu Hong, and glared: "It's not that I can't look down on you." Look at you, you don't have a solid foundation at the elementary level now, and you dare to think about anything else? How far is the difference between the first level and the second level? ”
"This, I know the gap between the primary and second order...... It's just that this is Yunshan Town, how can you practice so slowly?"
"What's the matter, you can come to Yunshan Town to practice martial arts quickly? If you really want to do this, you don't need to engage in a training camp, I will directly build a big inn, and put all the shops in it, and whoever comes to collect the cashier." Old Ghost Yan turned to smile again, "Hehe, but, since we are a training camp, we naturally have unconventional training methods, provided that you can withstand high-intensity training." ”
"It's not just high intensity, it's also high fees. ”
There was another senior brother next to him interjecting. But this time, Old Ghost Yan just smiled, and then looked at Niu Hong.
"I have the silver. I don't know how much?" asked the fat man cautiously.
"Chen Jiang and Hai Rongxun are two, and if they practice in a normal way, they will be about 1,800 silver a year. You, well...... Let's not mention this money first, wait until I tailor a set of plans for you. Old Ghost Yan looked cautious.
"One thousand eight hundred taels?" Chen Jiang exclaimed, "Is it one thousand or eight hundred?"
"Add it up, 1,800 taels is right. ”
After the senior brother who interjected, the senior brothers who were still drinking porridge in the cold all laughed. Obviously, the senior brothers who have money have long been eating and drinking and special training, and the rest are the type with tight pockets.
"Well, you can't say that. The self-funded training programs of the training camp have different emphases and natural money. If you receive the best training, the cost will naturally be more. Old Ghost Yan smiled, waved his hand, and beckoned the guy to take out the album that had been prepared and distribute it to the new students. The atlas is drawn in fine calfskin, illustrated and beautifully made. List the various types of training and fees offered by the camp. Chen Jiang flipped through it casually, only to feel the silver flying in the sky.
"Good guy, it's almost 1.8 million taels after all the training!" Chen Jiang admired.
"Look at it all carefully. Especially the one about the treatment at the back of the album. Each of our articles can be clearly marked and understood. Injuries during training are commonplace, but don't wait for the doctor to take the medicine. Old Ghost Yan said earnestly, "The most important thing for a martial artist is the body. Once there is a dark wound in training, it will affect the future and destiny. I don't dare to say anything else, but the healers in our training camp are definitely the best. ”
Old Ghost Yan paced in front of the wounded, "Can you see it clearly?"
"Total ...... Instructor. We're not saying you're messing around. What we mean by that is...... It's because we don't know much about the medical team, and it's the first time we've trained, so do you see if we can reduce it as appropriate?"
"No, I can't. The rules of the training camp must not be messed up. ”
Old Ghost Yan shook his head, pointed at Chen Jiang, and said loudly: "The first training is not an excuse. You see, Chen Jiang, it's not the first time they're training. You must know that if you are wounded, you will have to spend money to heal, and these are the punishments for you. Of course, the intention is to inspire you to be the first. Also, don't call me the chief instructor, I know that you call me Yan Lao Ghost behind your back, so I will deduct 200 taels per person for the disrespectful fine, and settle it at the end of the year. ”
Fines?
Chen Jiang flipped through the atlas, and sure enough, there were a few pages of small characters in the atlas, full of all kinds of fines and silver entries.
For example, being late for training and leaving early, not listening to advice, gathering crowds to gamble, and so on. The funniest thing is that he was found drinking in the training camp and was fined 10 taels of silver. However, there is a strong recommendation of a certain spirit wine in the previous album, and it is said to be amazingly effective.
"Old ghost, what is written on the album is 'If you don't respect the elder, you will be fined 5 taels of silver.'" Chen Jiang saw a certain one, so he said loudly.
"That's the algorithm for a surname deduction. If you count the number of times, even if you count once a day, how much do you count in a year?" Old Ghost Yan smiled, like an old fox. In the face of Yan Laogui's strong words, everyone looked at each other.
"You're amazing. ”
Seeing that everyone surrounded Yan Lao Ghost, Chen Jiang found a place to sit alone, while carefully flipping through the atlas, while calculating how many times he needed to be disrespectful to the elder in order to earn back the money he had bought out.
This hellish training camp requires silver everywhere.
But according to the description of the atlas, it seems that the software and hardware are not bad, as long as you are willing to spend money, there will always be results. It is no exaggeration to say that the training camp is tailor-made for people like Zhao Sanquan. It's a pity that Brother Quan died like this. Not only died, but also contributed a lot of experience points to Chen Jiang.
"I know why Zhao Sanquan brought so much gold yesterday. ”
Chen Jiang flipped through the map and found the most expensive training room inside, and it actually cost a thousand taels of silver to practice in it for an hour. The silver and gold ratios fluctuate, but remain roughly at 10 to 1. Thinking about it, even a character like Zhao Sanquan didn't dare to completely let go of the practice in the training camp.
Thinking about the gold he didn't take last night, Chen Jiang turned to count the silver taels in his pocket.
The original intention of the family was to let Chen Jiang find an idle job in a remote town, so they only sent him 200 taels of silver.
For ordinary people, 200 taels of silver is not too little. Counting the stable income from errands, it is enough for Chen Jiang to live a stable life. The 200 taels of silver, Chen Jiang originally planned to pay the camp fee, but Qi Ranran rushed to pay it, and it was left. Of course, when I came to the training camp, I realized that it was very different from what I imagined. Here, 200 taels of silver is a matter of taking a few days off.
The fat beggar's scraps of silver amounted to about 150 taels.
plus the 500 taels that Qi Ranran symbolized to take, nearly 850 taels remained. 850 taels is not much, and you can hold on for a while while while saving some flowers. In the future, do a little more chivalrous and righteous tasks, rob the rich and help the poor, and don't worry about the silver. It may not be easy for people who are poor and rich in martial arts to earn money, but they are always not worried.
After chatting for a while, Old Ghost Yan took two lecturers to point out the problems in the training of the students one by one.
By the way, several instructors struggled to recommend their self-funded training programs.
The old trainees who have the ability to train at their own expense have already been trained, and those who remain have no money. But no matter how small the mosquito is, it is also meat, and the lecturers will be able to introduce the topic to self-funded training in three or two sentences in the process of guidance. When the new students first arrived, all kinds of questions were thrown out. Of course, the high-intensity training in the morning has just ended, but no new students dare to try the self-funded training.
Gradually, the exhausted students began to disperse.
Chen Jiang still has some strength left, but he is not reluctant. After taking the atlas and saying goodbye to everyone, Chen Jiang walked back to the stone courtyard along the path.
"Brother, take it, buy it for you. When he was about to arrive at the stone courtyard, Qi Ranran chased after him. She looked at no one around, and quietly took out a delicate small gourd in her arms and stuffed it into Chen Jiang's hand.
"What is this?" asked Chen Jiang curiously.
"It was juice. My brother will drink some when he is free, which is good for recovery. Running in circles is too fierce, so you need to hydrate more. Qi Ranran smiled lightly and said in a low voice, "I asked Sister Muqing to come secretly." Don't want money. ”
"Yes. I took it. ”
Regardless of whether Qi Ranran spent money or not, Chen Jiang accepted her kindness. This kind of juice contained in a small gourd, he happened to see in the atlas just now, a small gourd, sold for 10 taels of gold, equivalent to 100 taels of silver.
Seeing Qi Ranran's smiling face, Chen Jiang asked softly, "What do they say about your injury?"
"I discussed it with the chief instructor and the priest's sister, and they suggested that I try the elixir. Qi Ranran said, "Sister Pastor said that the training camp is of very high quality, even if it can't draw out the spiritual root, it can also improve the potential, and it will be twice the result with half the effort after recovery." I was able to try it after I took a set of recovery training. ”
"The elixir seems to be good, but the training camp is too dark, and I'm afraid it will increase the price indiscriminately. Chen Jiang frowned.
"It's not cheap. I have already paid a deposit of 80,000 taels just now. ”
"Eighty thousand taels?" Chen Jiang took a breath. Good fellow, this little girl is really a big spender.
"My ancestors have always had a history of immortals, so ...... So I wanted to give it a try. Afraid that Chen Jiang would be worried, Qi Ranran hurriedly explained, "The family has suffered a big change, and I follow the elders, in addition to fleeing, I am still on the run." I want to have a change, this is the best opportunity. My family still has a registered account in the bank, so don't worry about the money. ”
"Elixir, elixir, tsk, tsk...... Hope it works!"
Back in the stone courtyard, Chen Jiang saw that there was a big gourd containing water, so he took a good-looking one and prepared it to mix the juice and green grass juice. There was a large box of green ridge grass juice in last night's trophies, and there was no need to waste it, and it was effective for the body to use as much as you wanted.
