Sword knocks the door of heaven

Chapter 8 Carrying Water and Testing
"Sleep well, eat well".

Father Li Shanzhu can teach Li Yunsheng few things, these two things should be the best. In the past, even if the two of them slept in the barren mountains and mountains, they would get up every five o'clock and go to bed one o'clock as usual, and they would not miss three meals a day.

Before dawn, Li Yunsheng got up early. He first scoured some millet and put it in a clay pot. He also threw three pitted red dates into it, put it on the stove and boiled it slowly over a low heat, and then began to clean the house.

The furnishings of the cabin are very simple. There is a bed, a table, a stool, and an oil lamp. There is no bedding on the bed, only a straw mat. Next to the cabin is a smaller room with a stove and Some broken kitchen utensils, a clay pot, a rice jar, and a water jar. The rice jar was empty but there was half a tank of water in the water jar, and the clay pot was used by him to cook porridge.

After cleaning it up, he took out an oiled paper bag from his luggage, which contained two catties of dried small fish, which he caught himself, and he also salted and dried the fish himself.

He cut the dried fish into even small pieces, put them into the heated oil pan, stir-fried them a few times, and then added some spicy salt. After a while, the aroma of the dried fish began to permeate the top of the mountain.

With a plate of dried fish and a bowl of millet porridge, Li Yunsheng sat at a table made of stumps under a big locust tree and ate them.

While eating, Li Yunsheng picked up the qi training formula that Li Changgeng threw to him before and read it.

To be precise, this book should be called "External Disciples Practicing Qi Jue". Li Yunsheng knew from the name that it should be an entry-level training book. After a few glances, he put the book down.

This is not because this book is too thin and simple, on the contrary, this book is used as the basic method of Qi training, and many things are explained in detail, including the names of some meridians and the time of practice.

Li Yunsheng put it down so quickly, but because he read books very fast since he was a child, and because he had no money to buy books, he intentionally wrote down what he read from a very young age. Over the years, I don’t know whether it is inertia or talent. , as long as the book is not very complicated, Li Yunsheng can basically remember it with his photographic memory.This is an extraordinary talent, but Li Yunsheng's father was so focused on seeking immortality that he didn't know that his son had a photographic memory. Sometimes he would scold Li Yunsheng for being obsessed with reading.And Li Yunsheng didn't think it was an extraordinary talent at all, and even for a long time, he thought it was a shameful method, because he thought it was no different from stealing books.

He drank two bowls of porridge and ate one-third of the fried fish, then cleared the table and went to wash the dishes.

"It turns out that the process of cultivation is to use one's own spiritual veins as a guide, absorb the spiritual energy of the heavens and the earth into the body, and repeat it again and again, refining and transforming the energy, so it is called energy training." While washing the dishes, Li Yunsheng muttered to himself.

He has a habit of reading books. He writes them down first, and then recalls them in his mind. Compared with the books he has read in the past, this elementary Qi training book is a bit unbelievable to him, but it is very interesting. More interesting than any book he read in the world.

After washing the dishes, he has already understood a general idea of ​​this elementary Qi training formula, and he also understands why Yang Wanli asked Li Changgeng to give him this book.

"If you follow the book, use different methods of breathing and exhaling, and use refined qi as power, then you can make the power endless, and you can complete the task of carrying twenty loads of water from the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain. , which means that Master is testing me."

He washed and wiped the bowls and chopsticks, and put them neatly on the shelf next to the stove. He shook his head and said to himself, "These immortals have more twists and turns in their minds than our street vendors."

Next, he took out the shoulder pole and two wooden barrels from the house, and looked at the sky, it should be Maoshi, "If I sleep at Haishi, I have a total of eight hours. With my current physical strength, it takes at least one to carry a load of water back and forth." At the same time, at most eight loads of water can be obtained a day."

"So if you can bring back ten loads of water today, it means that the breathing method in this book is effective."

Thinking so, Li Yunsheng carried two buckets down the mountain.

It took Li Yunsheng more than an hour to carry the first load of water up the mountain, as Li Yunsheng estimated, but he was already out of breath, and he felt like his feet were tied to two big iron blocks, and it was extremely difficult to move, but this first load Shui he didn't follow the breathing method in the qi training formula, he wanted to experience it for himself, whether there is really a difference between using it and not using it.

After resting for a while, he went down the mountain again.

This time when carrying a load up the mountain, he began to follow the breathing methods taught in the book, trying to make the steps on his feet consistent with the rhythm of his breathing. Although he could not be proficient, Li Yunsheng noticed it after he took the first step. , Every time he exhales, there is an extremely comfortable cool air gushing out from the soles of his feet, instantly dispelling all the fatigue on his body.

efficient!

Li Yunsheng's heart, which had always been calm, burst into ecstasy.

Hearing about "immortals" will never be as shocking as experiencing it personally. Although what he has learned is only the basics, Li Yunsheng seems to have a feeling of stepping on a lotus flower and going straight to the sky.

As he became more proficient in using the method of breathing in and out of luck described in the book, and his steps became lighter, his curiosity about this immortal mansion became more and more vigorous. The way of immortality is very curious. This thirst for knowledge, which has been suppressed since childhood, finally exploded at this moment.

However, on the first day, Li Yunsheng did not complete the task after all, even with the help of the breathing technique, he only finished carrying nine loads of water.Because in the previous calculations, he didn't include the fatigue value of his body, the body after picking up the first load of water is different from the body after picking up five loads of water, and...even with the breathing technique Help, the musculoskeletal muscles of his body can't bear such a high-intensity labor.

Li Yunsheng is a very tolerant person. He knows his strengths and knows his weaknesses even more. He stopped when he finished picking the ninth load of water. I am afraid that the body will collapse soon, so it is better to proceed step by step, and complete the task after I have practiced the method of breathing out luck and my own movements more proficiently.

And what Li Changgeng said to him was three days.

In fact, in Li Changgeng's view, Li Yunsheng couldn't stay there for a day. Even he had to spend a lot of energy carrying twenty tans of water from the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain. Originally, Yang Wanli had stipulated for them nine tans a day. Pouring twenty loads.The twenty dan was just a random word from him, he had seen a lot of young masters of this kind of family, let alone [-] dan, they couldn't stand it if they just asked them to carry water and live on the mountain, and wanted to run home immediately to complain to their parents .

As soon as the autumn harvest arrived, the people in Baiyun Temple were so busy that they forgot about the sun and the moon.Three days passed in a blink of an eye, and Li Changgeng was carrying several bundles of rice to the sun-drying field of Baiyun Temple. Just as he put the rice down, he saw a middle-aged man walking towards him.

The man was extremely short, with a strong build, and his clothes had many patches but were very clean.

"Hey, senior brother, I haven't seen you for a long time!"

Li Changgeng greeted him with a silly smile on his face.

"It's dirty, and the clothes are not well dressed. This is in the temple, not in your house. What if you meet a guest who comes to the temple? How many times do you want me to say it before you can remember it?"

Li Changgeng, who was more than eight feet tall, was so scolded by the elder brother who was less than five feet tall that he didn't dare to lift his head.

"The little brother that Master asked you to bring in a few days ago, he came from Yingzhou just like you. He has no relatives here, and he knows nothing about the Immortal Mansion. If Master is not free, let me tell you , take care of me."

The elder brother finished speaking with earnestness on his face, and then walked straight past Li Changgeng.

"oops!"

Li Changgeng slapped his head violently, and then rushed towards the back mountain, like a mad cow rampaging on the mountain path.

When he came to the foot of the back mountain out of breath, he was shocked by the scene in front of him: halfway up the mountain, a little boy was carrying two buckets of water, walking along the winding mountain road at an extremely light pace. Trot.

When he realized that the child was Li Yunsheng, Li Yunsheng had already disappeared into the lush forest.

"So fast!"

Li Changgeng sighed with emotion, thinking, not only did he misjudge this kid's identity, but he also misjudged his skill!

And just as he was feeling emotional, an even more shocking thing happened.

I saw the towering old locust tree "blossoming" on the top of the back mountain.In the entire green mountains, these small white flowers are like stars in the nine heavens, although each one is very small, they are extraordinarily eye-catching.

　Changed many times, forgive me...
