Chapter 53: Meditation in the Meditation (II)
In this cultivation, the pain of the physical body did not decrease in the slightest, but after the cultivation was completed, the feeling of exhaustion was much lighter, unlike the first time, when you had to lie on the ground for half an hour to move, but as soon as you completed the movement, you could struggle to get up and perform the massage of the acupoints.
After the massage, he immediately regained his energy, but he did not feel hungry, thinking that the medicinal diet must have worked, and these precious herbs were really extraordinary.
Xiao Ziyang felt intense hunger after exercising three times in a row. So, another big pot of broth went down his stomach.
The cultivation continued until the sun set, and the five major pots of meat all fell into Xiao Ziyang's stomach. After eating the last meal, Xiao Ziyang poured out one of the two pots of soup and medicine that had been boiled for a day and drank it. He was about to leave with another pot of decoction, when he saw Erzhu looking at him with a frightened look in his eyes, he seemed to guess what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'm not a monster, I'm just practicing a special kind of outer martial arts to eat so much." After saying that, he walked out of the house very funny.
Xiao Ziyang came to the practice room, and there was a huge copper tripod in the middle of the practice room, which was half-filled with a tripod of water, and a brazier was placed under the tripod, which was burning with charcoal, and the water in the tripod was steaming, and Shanzi and Xiao Hei were looking at the brazier. Xiao Ziyang poured the decoction in his hand into the dingzhong together with the dregs, reached out to test the temperature of the water, felt slightly hot, he took off his clothes and jumped into the dingzhong.
The hot steaming water, the hot Xiao Ziyang's skin was a little itchy and painful, but he endured it, and gradually he felt a trace of cool air in the hot water drilling straight into the skin on the surface of the body, and a heat wave in the stomach and intestines emitted a heat wave, cool air and heat waves met everywhere in the body, they seemed to fight in Xiao Ziyang's body, letting the itching, numbness, pain, sourness and some indescribable feeling hit the mind and body.
Gradually, this feeling became stronger and stronger, Xiao Ziyang felt as if there were countless small insects crawling everywhere in his body, constantly gnawing at his muscles and bones, and as if there were countless ropes pulling in his body, making him feel as if he had entered hell. Xiao Ziyang clenched his teeth and tried his best to endure it, beads of sweat the size of beans rolling down his forehead one after another.
When he felt that he couldn't bear it anymore, he turned his heart sideways, took a sharp breath, and immersed his head in the hot water. When I couldn't hold my breath anymore, I poked my head out for a breath, and then sank down again. After an hour like this, the painful feeling that made Xiao Ziyang's life worse than death slowly retreated.
Xiao Ziyang climbed out of the copper tripod and staggered out of the tong under the curious eyes of the two children; Xiao Ziyang now just wanted to fall headlong on the bed and never get up again.
But soon Xiao Ziyang's reason prevailed, he staggered to the medicinal room, and saw that Erzhu had already brushed the pot, so he ordered Erzhu to pour most of the water into the five cauldrons, pour all kinds of wild meat that Aunt Liu had cut and the five packets of medicinal herbs he had already prepared into the pot, and let them take care of the heat on the stove.
After instructing the two pillars and the three of them, Xiao Ziyang returned to his bedroom exhausted, and fell into the big bed, almost falling asleep before the bed.
Early the next morning, Xiao Ziyang jumped up from the bed with a hundred times more energy, and he felt that he had endless cathartic energy.
Xiao Ziyang started a new day of training after hurriedly eating the medicinal food.
Winter goes to spring, and half a year has passed in a blink of an eye. In the past six months, Xiao Ziyang has already practiced the first five chapters of "Purple Jade Smoke", and from the fourth chapter onwards, among the medicinal materials needed for cultivation and decoction, there are actually some medicinal materials that require the year, such as blood ginseng that is more than ten years old, and extremely precious medicinal materials such as crested multiflorum that is twenty years old, which makes him spend nearly 30,000 taels of silver in this year.
But it's all worth it, "Purple Jade Smoke" is worthy of being a secret book for cultivating immortals, although it is very hard to cultivate, but the effect is extremely obvious, and he can feel his body changing rapidly almost every day.
Now his strength is almost twice as strong as when he first came to Nanba County, there are at least 8,000 catties of strength between his arms, and the huge stone locks weighing 1,000 catties are thrown around by him like a juju, and he can uproot the trees with a little force.
His muscles and muscles have become more solid and iron!
In the past six months, Xiao Ziyang has not abandoned his cultivation of martial arts, and every day at noon, an hour of sword practice time has become an extremely rare rest time in his daily hard cultivation. In the past six months, due to the guidance of the "Martial Arts", he has perfected the Five Tigers Broken Door Knife Technique passed down by his father-in-law, and even under the guidance of the "Martial Arts", he has made a lot of changes to this knife technique, making this knife technique more powerful.
Today, in order to celebrate the completion of the fifth chapter of cultivation, Xiao Ziyang deliberately took a day off, and after going down the mountain, he made a gourd for good aging, hired a fishing boat to sail on Fengyu Lake, and enjoyed the lake and mountains while tasting fine wine, feeling the comfort that he had never felt in more than a year.
The nights in Fenghe Mountain are very quiet, since Xiao Ziyang practiced "Purple Jade Smoke", his sleep has become extremely deep, and he never dreams at night. Tonight, however, he was suddenly awakened from a deep sleep, and it seemed as if suddenly an invisible danger swooped upon him, and he suddenly jumped out of bed in his deep sleep, and his hairs stood on end.
He jumped up and assumed a defensive posture, looked around, and when he realized that nothing had happened, he rubbed his numb arm and sat back on the bed.
"Strange!What's going on?Didn't you have a nightmare just now?How could you suddenly be frightened?" Xiao Ziyang muttered to himself strangely. He got dressed, put his knife behind his back and walked out the door. Walking to the door, Xiao Ziyang turned back again.
He opened the locked cabinet at the head of the bed, took out a long cloth bag of one foot seven or eight inches and a pot of arrows from the bottom of the cabinet, and opened the cloth bag, and inside was a longbow folded into three sections.
Xiao Ziyang opened the folded bow arm, gently wound the string, pulled, and shook his head dissatisfiedly. This bow was bought by him for more than a hundred taels of silver in the Famous Sword Pavilion before he left Shangyuan City.
The five-stone strong bow bought in Shuo'an City was discarded as early as when he went down the mountain, although Xiliang Kingdom did not prohibit people in the martial arts from wearing swords and swords, but the strong bow and crossbow were absolutely forbidden. When the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, it naturally doesn't matter if you use it secretly, but if you want to cross the state with a strong bow, you are asking for trouble.
