Chapter 234 Innate Expert
After leaving Shaolin Temple, Meng Xiuyuan never traveled far.

He restrained his true energy, and walked down the mountain road slowly, heading for the nameless village at the foot of Shaoshi Mountain.

In that familiar little hut, Meng Xiuyuan spent his last days in this world.

For a few days, Meng Xiuyuan sat cross-legged on the bed, closed his eyes and meditated, calming his mind.

Until noon of the day, suddenly felt a twitch in his heart, he knew that the time had come.

Opening his eyes and looking up, he saw a pure white light shining in the room, directly hitting his face.

Under the soft light, Meng Xiuyuan quickly lost control of his body.

Having experienced this process once, Meng Xiuyuan no longer finds it unusual. After a few days of quiet adjustments, he is fully prepared to face the next world.

In the end, he reluctantly glanced at the rough iron sword beside him that had been with him for more than ten years, and said "goodbye" to this world, and then Meng Xiuyuan let go of his thoughts and waited for reincarnation.

But the next moment, he was suddenly shocked, and immediately woke up from this peaceful state.

The true energy was lost, the flesh and blood melted, and the body disintegrated at an extremely fast speed.This process is exactly the same as when traveling in the previous life, and nothing has changed.

But at this time, Meng Xiuyuan could "see" a lot more because of the "Shangqing Huangting External Scenery" that nourished his spirit for a long time.

The skin, bones, meridians, and muscles were dismantled by the white light one by one without any loss, and finally turned into the essence of the original vitality.

The whole process unfolded in front of Meng Xiuyuan's eyes, like an indescribably mysterious on-site teaching, telling Meng Xiuyuan the mysteries of the human body.

Up to this point, Meng Xiuyuan didn't know how precious such an experience was, and immediately tried his best to gather his mind and carefully feel the process of his body being dismantled, unwilling to let go of the slightest bit.

It is a pity that Meng Xiuyuan's "sudden enlightenment state" cannot be activated under such circumstances. With his own limited consciousness and vision, it is like looking at flowers in the fog or the moon in the water, which is difficult to see clearly.

At the end when his body melted and the white light gradually dimmed, Meng Xiuyuan only remembered one out of ten of the mystery.

But even so, he was quite excited in his heart. He only felt that he had benefited infinitely from the body training process, far exceeding the sum of all the magical skills and secret methods he had obtained in the past.

Just when Meng Xiuyuan subconsciously wanted to sort out this knowledge and integrate it with his existing "Fitness Technique", his consciousness quickly became blurred.

In the next moment, the essence of vitality accumulated in the two worlds turned into a rainbow light together with the soul, which shot directly above the sky.

During the whole process, there were many vague voices thanking him.

The vast majority of them are thanks to him for preventing a war between Song and Liao, so that many innocent people in the world can survive without being trampled by horseshoes and disasters caused by soldiers.

After every sound of thanks, Meng Xiuyuan felt in the dark that he had gained something untraceable.Adding up like this can be regarded as adding up.

Until these voices gradually faded away, it was another long and misty dream.

……

In the second year of Sui Daye, Jiangnan.

To the east of Poyang Lake and at the west end of Zhejiang River, there is a big town called Cuishan. There are about 2000 households in it.

At the east end of the town, there is a small restaurant with a booming business.

As soon as it was noon, the room was already full, and the voices of all the diners were noisy, and the room was filled with the aroma of food.

"Sister-in-law Zhang, why don't you see brother Meng today, but you are doing the work yourself?"

When a guest came in, he could see the lady boss who was already pale from busyness, so she couldn't help asking subconsciously.

Hearing this, Mrs. Zhang quickly waved her hand, made a silent gesture, and pointed in the direction of the back kitchen.

The meaning is obvious, it is to make the guest's voice quieter, so as not to disturb the boss who is cooking.

All of you here are regular customers and know the basics. Seeing this situation, a person next to him couldn't help laughing out loud:

"If you ask me, it must be that your old Zhang treats others too harshly, only making children work hard every day, but not paying them wages.

Little brother Meng couldn't bear to drink blood like this, so he sneaked away last night..."

"fart!"

A low shout came, but a skinny and short old man came out of the back kitchen with a sullen face, holding a bowl of hot rice in his hand and delivering it to the guest's table, his words were quite dissatisfied:
"I treat that kid, isn't it good enough?

A few days ago, the officers and soldiers came to recruit people to build the canal, women and children were not spared, and I paid him [-] yuan to be exempted from corvee.

Calculated at [-] yuan a month, he will have to pay me back for five years before he can pay it back..."

The guest wasn't angry when he heard his scolding, he was just amazed and teased him with strange words:
"I said, Lao Zhang, you are really not kind. Five strings of money a month, is it considered wages, and the pocket money is not enough.

Although Brother Meng is not very old, he is quick-witted and agile, not worse than adults..."

Five baht coins in the Sui Dynasty, a string of ten coins.Even in this small town, twenty strings of money a month is considered quite meager, let alone five strings of money.

After several months of contact, all the townspeople here are very fond of the handsome and cute little boy with an easy-going and gentle personality. They can't bear to see this black-hearted boss oppressing him so much, so they can't help but agree:

"That's justified, Lao Zhang, you're almost done.

Don't you even look, how much has the business of your small restaurant improved since Brother Meng came?
If he hadn't been so smart and smart at such a young age, he would have improved the taste of your food, so many people would have come to eat it? "

"That's right, don't go too far as a human being.

Last time, Lao Zhang, you were sick and couldn't get up, so Brother Meng took care of the stove for you. That skill is really amazing.

Old Zhang, if you don't treat that brother Meng better, after staying for a few years, he might open a restaurant next to your house.

At that time, we will all go to his place for dinner, and we will not take care of your business..."

Such and such words came one after another, causing the skinny old man to be embarrassed immediately, and he couldn't help but respond from embarrassment:

"You people are really talking nonsense.

Those officers and soldiers outside would arrest people for corvee service every three days.

Either to build the city, or to build the river, a group of people were driven away and disappeared.

Last winter, if I hadn't kindly taken this kid in, he would have been taken to the construction site to die of exhaustion not long ago, would he still be able to live a happy life like this? ! "

At this point, the old man Zhang's face was flushed, he paused for a while, and then said again:
"Furthermore, when it comes to cooking skills, my old Zhang recognizes the second, who dares to recognize the first?

What kind of fried rice, Qingfeng rice, and Yujing rice, my old Zhang is not good at it.

Hmph, I just saw that the boy's technique was a bit interesting, so I tried to sell it for a few days.

From tomorrow on, these messy things will not be sold, and it will still be the same as in the past, only selling my three kinds of rice..."

Seeing this, all the diners, out of love, didn't say any more words to ridicule the obviously broken old Zhang, but they couldn't help laughing secretly, thinking that this stingy old man is just stubborn, so how could he really be willing? Ditch these money-making new dishes.

But after the laughter, the atmosphere in the restaurant soon cooled down.

When these diners heard Lao Zhang mentioning the matter of the officers and soldiers arresting people to serve in corvee, each of them had a deep understanding and was quite moved in their hearts.

The diners who can sit and eat in this small restaurant at this moment, not to mention how rich they are, can still live a decent life.

But even so, all kinds of exorbitant taxes in the past two years have affected their lives quite a bit.

I heard that the emperor will lead an army to go on an expedition to the outside of the Great Wall next year and rebuild the Great Wall. I don't know how much money those officers and soldiers will have to confiscate before that time.

Thinking of this, the diners couldn't help feeling sad in their hearts, and even the delicious food in front of them lost their taste.

For a while, there was a sound of lamentation in the hall.

Only an inconspicuous old man in the corner was slowly tasting the food in front of him, not caring what these townspeople said or did, immersed in the enjoyment of the food, with a smile on his face.

After a long while, when the restaurant was noisy again, the skinny Boss Zhang dragged his wife aside, frowned and asked her in a low voice:

"What about the kid, why don't you see him come to work?

Hmph, when you first came here, you were very diligent, but in just a few months, did you show your laziness? !
In the evening, I will definitely scold him and tell him that if there is another time, I will let him go away..."

Before the old man finished speaking, he was interrupted by his wife:

"Okay, don't show your prestige to a child.

Brother Meng is ill, I asked him to rest for a day.

You know, he used to be the first one to get up in the morning and pack up the ingredients for the day in the backyard. This morning when I woke up, I didn't see him, so I went to his room to look for him.

Unexpectedly, when he pushed the door open, he saw the child sitting on the ground with bare arms, steaming all over his body, as if burning charcoal.

I asked him what was the matter, and he only said that he had a fever and had been covered in bed for a long time, and wanted to come out to cool off.

Tell me, how can such a clever kid do such a stupid thing..."

At this point, Mrs. Zhang secretly glanced at her husband, and seeing that his expression was fair, she dared to continue:

"So I told him to rest in the house, and I asked Yongzi to invite the doctor to come and see him, and prescribed two medicines for him..."

"Humph!"

Before Mrs. Zhang finished speaking, she heard Lao Zhang snort coldly, obviously quite dissatisfied.

But afterward, the short and thin old man didn't say anything, he just glared at his wife, then turned his head and went to the kitchen again.

"Store, wait a minute, I have something to ask..."

At this moment, a figure suddenly stood up from the table in the corner, and appeared in front of Lao Zhang the next moment, blocking his way.Lao Zhang looked up, but he saw a strange old man in a long robe, with long eyebrows and eagle eyes, and a rather special face.

Seeing this scene, Boss Zhang was quite surprised.

To say that this person is dressed so strangely, if he has seen it before, he must remember it.But when he thought about it carefully, he couldn't remember when the old man entered the restaurant.

"Please tell me, old gentleman, I will know everything."

After all, Boss Zhang has been in business for many years, knowing that the more special a person is, the less he can offend him, so he immediately nodded in response.

"The store owner is being polite, I just overheard that a child in your family has a strange disease.

I happen to know a few skills in medicine, can you take me to meet that child? "

The old man looked at Boss Zhang and said calmly
……

"Brother Meng, come out quickly, there is an old gentleman who kindly came to treat your illness..."

On the second floor of the restaurant, Mrs. Zhang opened the door while yelling, but Meng Xiuyuan was nowhere to be seen.

"Old man, look at this... I don't know where this little brother Meng went..."

Mrs. Zhang looked a little embarrassed, she just felt that she had let down her good intentions.

The old man smiled slightly and didn't care. He just took the opportunity to stealthily took out a jade vial from his bosom, touched a little of the liquid under his nose, and took a few serious sniffs in the hut.

Afterwards, the old man bid farewell to Mrs. Zhang, left the restaurant, and went straight to the town.

Along the way, every time he walked out a section, the old man would sniff his nose, and after a while, he corrected his direction, and then moved forward.

In this way, the old man drifted away, found a small lake outside the town, and finally stopped.

Looking at the lake, one can see that the water waves are calm, but there are only ripples blown by the wind, and there are no traces of people.

Seeing this scene, the old man couldn't help being quite surprised.

He has used this tracking technique for decades, and he has never made any mistakes. He didn't want to miss an unknown child today.

The old man didn't believe in evil, and immediately pinched his fingers and made three divinations. When he raised his head again, he couldn't help but look at the calm lake in front of him again, his eyes became more and more surprised.

Immediately, the old man sat cross-legged on the same spot, closed his eyes quietly, and waited by the lake.

It's just that I didn't expect that the wait would take more than half an hour.

Until the old man couldn't calm down and was about to add another hexagram, he suddenly heard a "crash" sound from the lake. Following the sound, he finally saw a young figure jumping out of the lake.

The child looked like he was only eight or nine years old, but he had an indescribable explosive force all over his body.

In one leap, he rushed out of the water three to four feet high, and without slowing down at all, he drew an arc in the air like a cannonball, and landed in front of the old man with a bang, causing dust to overflow.

"Mister, are you waiting for me?"

Looking at the old man in front of him, Meng Xiuyuan asked a little puzzled.

"Little brother, good work."

The old man was taken aback when he saw this. Although he subconsciously wanted to keep calm, his words couldn't hide his astonishment:
"Originally, the old man just ate a delicacy that he had never seen before, and he heard that it was actually made by a child, so he couldn't help being curious, and wanted to come and see what kind of handsome young man it was.

But I don't think, today is an eye-opener..."

While speaking, a bright light flashed in the old man's eyes, he looked Meng Xiuyuan several times from top to bottom, and finally said with emotion:

"I, Lu Miaozi, have lived for 80 years, but I have never seen such a young innate master.

It is Ning Daoqi, who is said to be born at the age of seventeen or eighteen..."

Hearing the other party's praise, Meng Xiuyuan was taken aback for a moment, and then referring to his own situation, he was very puzzled, so he couldn't help but said to Lu Miaozi:
"The old man is absurd, please tell me, how did you see that I am a 'natural master'?"

When Lu Miaozi heard the words, he shook his head and said softly to Meng Xiuyuan:
"Little brother, why should you be humble.

Don't say that you are such a well-rounded athlete, even among the innate masters, you are already quite good.

Simply speaking, you stayed under the lake for more than half an hour. If you hadn't mastered the innate inner breath, how could you persist? "

At this point, Lu Miaozi hesitated for a while, and then said again:

"Little brother, I take the liberty to ask one more question, which famous master is the respected master?
Most of the people with some skills in the world, I have dealt with them.

But at a glance, I can't see your martial arts skills.

What surprised me even more was that we just stood facing each other like this, and I couldn't feel the slightest wave of innate qi from you.

I don't know what kind of clever Qi restraining technique this is..."

Hearing this, Meng Xiuyuan couldn't help shaking his head and smiling, he just felt that the old man's manner of speaking was quite advanced, but he was not really a real master, his eyesight was really mediocre.

Since he woke up consciously, for several months, he has been focusing on body training.

Under such circumstances, where does the 'innate qi' come from in the body.
