Seven or eight hundred taels?
Bai Qi suddenly became energetic. He was very short of money recently, and his dreams were all about picking up a pickaxe and digging into mountains of gold.
"Xiao Qiye, you are just starting to train your muscles. The next step is to further strengthen your Qi and blood and stimulate your potential. Only when you are successful can you break through to the next level.
For other people, it would be nothing more than practicing boxing in a standing position and building up strength. It would be enough in three to five months if it was fast, or one or two years if it was slow. "
Lao Dao loves to laugh, his eyes are always squinted, and he looks like a retired man sunbathing at the entrance of the village.
“But at Tongwenguan, we pay attention to perfection in everything and strive for perfection.
There is a saying in martial arts that 'if you train the muscles without refining the membrane, the membrane will have no owner; if you train the membrane without training the muscles, the muscles will have no support'.
Therefore, Xiao Qiye has taken good care of his body, and then it is time to 'refining the membrane' and complete the 'strength reaches the four tips' as soon as possible.
The young master originally prepared a high-quality 'black jade ointment' for you. This product is very effective in promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, and is very effective in restoring bones and bones. "
Bone setting?
Continued disability?
Black jade paste?
Bai Qi suddenly felt a chill on his back, as if a chill was rising:
"I dare to ask Uncle Dao, what is the process of refining film?"
"It's not difficult, 'tendon' and 'membrane' are originally one.
The former is caused by movement and elongation, while the latter is caused by tearing and bulging.
Our training method at Tongwenkan is relatively simple. We ask dozens of people to hold wooden sticks and repeatedly beat the chest, abdomen, waist and back for two months. The fascia will naturally become thick and tough. "
Lao Dao told the truth, but his understatement made Bai Qi horrified.
Beaten?
Film refining?
After two months, can this person still breathe?
"Don't worry, Xiao Qiye, we have black jade ointment to treat the injury, and it won't leave scars or root causes."
Lao Dao comforted:
"But it costs one hundred taels of silver. Now, Xiao Qiye... picks up this demonic fish inner elixir, makes the soup, takes it for digestion, and promotes qi and blood to penetrate the fascia, so he doesn't need to be beaten anymore. This part of the cost It saves money.”
Bai Qi's eyes twitched when he heard this. He felt that if he went to Tongwen Hall and practiced martial arts with Ning Haichan, he would be a poor man for the rest of his life.
A few hundred taels of silver went straight into the sea like a mud cow, and there was no splash at all.
"Master Xiao Qi, the second practitioner is a good player, the third practitioner is a master, and the combination of four practitioners is a master.
Throughout the history of martial arts, there is no master who is not a glutton for gold and silver.
If you want to be the best, how can you have no wealth? Otherwise, why would famous martial arts masters like to go to prefectures and county towns to make a living. "
Lao Dao is experienced in the world, and he can see that Bai Qi is worried about being short of money and unable to stay in Tongwen Hall for a long time:
"The young master is not unreasonable, he is just following the example of the great sect before Dao Sang, hoping to train his disciples and increase their abilities.
In his opinion, if a Four-Practice Grandmaster cannot make money with his hands, then what is the use of practicing Kung Fu for decades?
In the same way, since Master Xiao Qi is using the best tonic, he should use his own brains to make the money.
Otherwise, just working hard behind closed doors will be of little use.
With Tongwenguan's family background, it is not difficult to raise seven or eight second and third level trainers. "
Bai Qi accepted it humbly. Only by giving up small fortunes can one become rich. He originally understood this truth, but he was used to being poor after fishing for many years. Spending money lavishly would inevitably hurt him like cutting flesh.
"Uncle Dao, our martial arts practice has four major training levels. Do the Taoist officials and immortal masters in the prefectures, towns and cities also follow the same path as us?"
Lao Dao relaxed his wrinkles, took the Demonic Fish Neidan from Bai Qi, and walked to the kitchen on the south side.
The layout of large houses and courtyards is very particular, with the upper part going north and the lower part going south. Most of the huts are in the north and the kitchen is in the south.
This is also the origin of the catchphrase "Go to the hut and go to the kitchen".
"If Master Qi is free, you can go and sit in the library for a while. In addition to boxing and martial arts, swordsmanship and knife skills, the young master also collected a lot of miscellaneous books, covering everything from astronomy to geography."
Lao Dao was chopping wood and lighting a fire to heat up the stove, while Bai Qi was helping beside him, like a grandfather and grandson.
"Martial arts refine the body, and Taoism refines the spirit. Probably all the cultivation in this world cannot be separated from these two paths.
Immortal masters and Taoist officials are among the top three titles conferred by Longting, which is no small matter.
It is said that if you can enter the pilgrimage and face the holy people without kneeling or worshiping, if you drive with a higher standard, all the masters in the prefectures and counties will have to dismount from their horses and sedan chairs.
Generally speaking, it can be divided into four realms: taking bait to live without food, entering into concentration to hold the fetus, wandering spirit and gathering thoughts, channeling spirits and manifesting the body.
It's just that the immortal masters and Taoist officials in the mortal realm are probably not as good at fighting as the practitioners at the same level.
It is said that they have to go through the test of receiving the fate of the Cong before they can use the powerful methods of breathing thunder, spitting fire, and beheading with flying swords. "
Bai Qi felt fascinated when he heard that the world outside Heihe County was so wonderful.
Martial arts refine the body, Taoism refines the spirit!
It turns out that there really is a person in this world who can fly to the sky and escape from the earth, riding a crane and riding a dragon!
"Haha, Master Xiaoqi is just like me, I can't help but feel excited when I hear this.
It's a pity that Taoism is difficult to achieve, and not everyone can enter. "
There is a large copper jar on the stove, filled with water, many medicinal materials, and the demon fish inner elixir.
Under the fierce fire, it emits a fragrant aroma, like freshly brewed honey liquid. It is as thick as syrup and slowly melts, forming a really beautiful amber color.
Bai Qi just sniffed, feeling refreshed and refreshed:
"Uncle Dao, why is this? Are there any strict conditions for entry into Taoism?"
Lao Dao shook his head, with a look of vicissitudes in his eyes:
"To practice Taoism, you can only go to Dafu City. There is no way out in Heihe County or Yihai County.
Xiao Qiye, you will know after reading the history books. There are detailed records in them.
Another thing to know is that all cultivators outside the city who have not been canonized by Longting belong to the side sect. If they are infected by the turbid air, they are "evil demons" and must report to the official if they see them.
This is an iron law that cannot be violated under the rule of Longting. "
Bai Qi's heart trembled and he secretly wrote it down.
After Dao Bo's description, this world gradually sketched out a somewhat clear outline.
Taoist arts, evil spirits, demon fish, inner alchemy... It seems that a corner of the world has been revealed, and it is no longer as mysterious as before.
Time flew by quickly. Lao Dao smiled and filled the demon elixir juice that was as thick as syrup in a celadon bowl and handed it over carefully:
"Here, take a bowl, Xiao Qiye. Don't swallow it immediately. You must hold it for a while, swallow it slowly, and let the essence contained in it spread out."
"Uncle Dao, you should also drink a bowl. Since this food is so tonifying..."
Bai Qi took the celadon bowl, but was not in a hurry to enjoy it. Instead, he said with a sincere smile:
"It must be useful to you too! After all, it's hard for you to help make fires, add medicines, and suffer!"
Lao Dao waved his hand and did not accept the kindness:
"I'm getting older, and my blood and energy will inevitably decline. No matter how much I take care of myself, it won't help.
Just like a broken barrel, no matter how much you pour into it, it will drain out completely in the end.
Xiao Qiye, just enjoy it. "
After hearing this, Bai Qi stopped persuading him. He raised his head and took a gulp of the inner elixir juice. He puffed up his cheeks and held the hot soup in his mouth. His whole face turned red in an instant.
This lovable young man's appearance immediately amused Lao Dao, his eyes became softer and softer, and he thought to himself:
"The young master has really taken on a good apprentice, and he has added some fireworks to Tongwen Hall."
Bai Qi swallowed the essence bit by bit, as if drinking the legendary nectar. His mouth was filled with refreshing aroma. As the soup made from the demon pill rolled into his stomach, the warm heat dissipated instantly.
"It's so enjoyable! It's several times more comfortable than a medicinal bath!"
After he swallowed it completely, the pores in his body seemed to relax, and thick blood surged up.
My whole body was full of energy, and I had a strange illusion that I would be okay even if I didn't sleep for ten days and ten nights.
Lao Dao grabbed a handful of roasted peanuts and kept talking:
"This demon pill can last three to five times, which is enough for you, Xiao Qi, to train your fascia."
Bai Qi breathed evenly, inhaling through the mouth and exhaling through the nose, maintaining a steady rhythm of breathing in and out:
"By the way, Uncle Dao, only Fucheng and counties have immortal masters and Taoist officials. Then in a place like Heihe County, a person who can use alchemy appears. What is his name?"
Lao Dao lowered his eyelids and said slowly:
"It can be divided into several types. One is people from the side sect, also called 'Shanze Yexiu'.
Even if you have a clear teacher, or have extraordinary encounters, and accidentally obtain the Dharma, but you don't want to be canonized, or you don't have the ability, you can only make a living in the backcountry.
As long as they are not infected by the turbid air and cause harm to all directions, they can live in peace and harmony.
The so-called 'Yemaoshan', 'Wild Taoist' and 'Yehu Zen' all fall into this category.
In addition, the goddess stick in the village village can also be included.
Although they have no magic power, they can use external objects to perform unskilled 'alchemy'.
He is often regarded as a great "great fairy" by foolish men and women, and is respected and respected. "
