Xie Xiangcai ate two steamed buns indiscriminately, then hurriedly took off his clothes, lay on the bed and fell asleep. He didn't wake up until noon the next day.
The young man stood up and felt extremely energetic, as if there was endless strength in his body.
Although he was hungry, he did not go out to look for food immediately. Instead, he sat cross-legged on the bed and recalled the "method of luck" that the white-haired boy in the tavern told him yesterday evening.
Based on the feeling last night, Xie Xiangcai calmed down his mind again and observed the rules of the movement of the original power in the body.
After going back and forth like this for more than ten weeks, Xie Xiangcai's feeling of fullness of energy became more and more intense. He thrust out a punch and the energy overflowed, shaking the wicker chair next to the bed into pieces.
He stood up with great satisfaction, tightened the wicker chair with a few cloth strips, and then walked out the door.
As soon as Xie Xiang opened the door, a figure came on his back and walked towards the house. The wine gourd on his lap fell to the ground and the wine overflowed.
"Hey!"
The Seventh Young Master, who had been dozing off against the door of the room, just woke up and felt heartbroken when he saw the wine spilled on the floor.
He knelt down on the ground with his whole body, opened his mouth and sucked all the wine on the top that was not dirty.
After a while, the Seventh Young Master sighed and got up from the ground. Without brushing off the dust on his knees, he looked at Xie Xiangcai and said, "Junior brother, how did you sleep?"
Xie Xiangcai scratched his head and said, "I slept well. Seventh Senior Brother, have you been waiting for a long time?"
The Seventh Young Master waved his hand indifferently, "Soon, there will be enough for me, Nan Ke Yimeng, to play a game of chess with that old immortal and drink a bottle of wine!"
Xie Xiangcaiquan thought it was nonsense that the seventh senior brother said before he woke up, and didn't take it to heart.
His eyes brightened, he looked at the Seventh Young Master and asked, "Senior Brother Seventh, what are we practicing today?"
The Seventh Young Master chuckled, "Let's drink today!"
Xie Xiangcai froze in place, tilted his head and asked, "Drink?!"
The Seventh Young Master laughed loudly, walked up and patted Xie Xiangcai on the shoulder and said, "How can a man not learn to drink? Wine is the best thing in the world!"
Xie Xiangcai didn't understand what he meant. He only knew that the first time he drank, he almost choked to death.
The Seventh Young Master bent down and picked up the wine gourd on the ground, threw the bottle cap aside, and then threw it into Xie Xiangcai's arms.
Immediately, the Seventh Young Master waved his sleeves, and their figures disappeared in an instant. When they reappeared, they were already on the hillside in the north of Dongfeng City.
The Seventh Young Master stood on the hillside, looked up at the withered yellow lychee flowers all over the hillside, and sighed for a moment.
I saw a wave of his long sleeves, and the fragrance overflowed in an instant, and everything returned to spring. The yellow flowers scattered on the ground slowly rose up, and returned to the branches again like a fairy breeze. The trees that were broken at the waist seemed to be rejuvenated again at this moment. Come to life.
The entire hillside suddenly became the same as when the boy first met.
The trees are full of scarlet fruits, and the branches have yellow ears.
The Seventh Young Master sat on the ground, opened his chest, and let the cool autumn wind flow into his chest.
He looked at Xie Xiangcai with a smile, and said slowly and leisurely, "Junior brother, let's go down the mountain!"
Xie Xiangcai froze on the spot holding the wine gourd, and looked at the Seventh Young Master in astonishment, "We just went up the mountain, why are we going down again?"
The Seventh Young Master shook his finger, "It's not us, it's you. You take my wine gourd, go to the Wanglou Restaurant at the foot of the mountain and make me a pot of good peach blossom wine, and come back in one-tenth the time of a stick of incense. And not even a drop of the wine in the gourd should be spilled.”
Xie Xiangcai's eyes widened when he heard this, a tenth stick of incense?
If he didn't have any objects in his hands, he estimated that he might be able to reach the top of the mountain from the restaurant in such a short time by using his original energy.
But Brother Seventh's requirement is that he hold a full jug of wine in his hand and not let any of it spill.
Prime Minister Xie nodded hesitantly, then turned around and headed down the mountain with the empty gourd in his hand.
According to what the Seventh Young Master said, the young man came to a restaurant called "Wanglou". As soon as the waiter saw the wine gourd, he filled it with the best sweet peach blossom wine.
After Xie Xiangcai got a full wine gourd, he took a deep breath, walked as fast as possible, and hurried towards the top of the mountain step by step very smoothly.
After an unknown amount of time, Prime Minister Xie finally walked up to the Seventh Young Master and handed the wine gourd to him with a smile.
The Seventh Young Master seemed to be smiling but not saying anything. He just took the gourd and drank the peach blossom wine in one gulp. Then he pointed to a stick of incense stuck on the grass beside him. Most of the incense had already burned out and was about to burn out. All.
Xie Xiangcai's face looked a little ugly, and he scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "Senior Brother Seventh, I have walked fast enough..."
The Seventh Young Master stretched out his hand to interrupt Xie Xiangcai's words and threw the wine gourd to him.
Xie Xiangcai had no choice but to sigh and once again took the empty wine gourd down the mountain.
This time, Xie Xiangcai couldn't help but speed up his pace, but his eyes kept staring at the wine gourd in his hand. Unfortunately, every time he took a step, the wine in the gourd sloshed around, and every time he swung, some wine dripped. Fall to the ground.
The young man became more and more impatient and spilled a lot of wine in his hand.
We were only halfway up the mountain, and half of the wine gourd had been spilled.
Xie Xiangcai sat on the ground with some collapse. He drank all the peach blossom wine in the wine gourd and then threw the empty gourd heavily on the ground, cursing "shit" in his heart.
After a pot of peach blossoms, the drunken boy blushed and felt dry. He opened his clothes and let the cool breeze flow in.
Xie Xiangcai was slightly weakened by the cold wind, and began to think about the purpose of Seventh Senior Brother asking him to go down the mountain to drink again and again.
The young man began to recall the content taught to him by his seventh senior brother in the first class.
"Tao follows nature."
Everything follows the essence of its movement, and cannot be imposed or acted upon.
Things follow their shape and take place, so they can continue to multiply and move forward.
The same is true.
The young man lowered his head and looked at the wine gourd in his hand.
For the first time, I was holding a wine gourd. I focused on my steps. My steps were steady and the water surface was smooth. However, my emotions were tense and I was exhausted.
The second time, he quickened his pace and focused on the wine gourd. The more the wine swayed, the more nervous he became, and the less he could control the spilling of the wine.
The two times he gave me wine were against his own nature and the nature of wine. He was too controlling and couldn't control himself freely.
Xie Xiangcai sat there in trance, staring at the wine gourd, thinking about how to be "natural".
People move with the wind, and wine moves with the wind. Everything in the world is in constant motion. If you want to force things to be "quiet" in the constant motion, you will inevitably lose everything.
Regardless of whether it is actions or emotions, if you impose it, it will definitely not end well.
Nature is the original law of things. It moves with the wind, dances with the wind, falls with the wind, and grows with the wind.
Xie Xiangcai came back to his senses slightly.
My own steps are inherently light and unrestrained, and the wine in the wine gourd is inherently swaying with my steps. If you impose one of them, you will not find its place and cannot be nourished.
The young man stood up, turned around, returned to the restaurant, made a pot of good peach blossom wine, and held it in the palm of his hand.
He took a deep breath, and energy surged between the soles of his feet.
The young man looked ahead, not paying attention to the gourd in his hand or the pace of his feet.
A gust of autumn wind blew by, and the young man's mind moved. He raised his feet slightly, took a deep breath, narrowed his eyes and looked at the distant hillside, and his figure suddenly disappeared from the spot.
On the street, the aroma of wine overflowed, and the people looked at the figure in green shirt flashing past, their eyes filled with astonishment.
When the second incense stick was halfway burning, Xie Xiangcai's figure appeared on the top of the mountain and handed the peach blossom stuffing to the seventh son who was lazily eating lychees.
The Seventh Young Master raised his eyebrows slightly, drank the wine in the gourd, and threw it back to Xie Xiangcai again.
Xie Xiangcai smiled slightly and swept down the hillside.
He felt the cool autumn wind blowing in front of him, and his mind was extremely calm. He felt the dust particles hidden in every wisp of wind, and felt the trajectory and texture of every wisp of wind.
The young man came to the door of Wanglou Restaurant. Under the extremely astonished gaze of the waiter, he scooped up a large spoonful of wine and poured it into the wine gourd.
He held the wine gourd and exhaled a long breath, and traces of pure original power emerged from his martial roots, flowing throughout his meridians.
The young man's figure is like the wind, with the soles of his feet gently touching the ground paved with blue tiles and bricks.
"Tao follows nature", that's all.

The gentle breeze blew down the mountain, and the afternoon sun set. In a blink of an eye, the young man in green shirt stood in front of the Seventh Young Master with his bare chest.
The Seventh Young Master stretched himself out, stood up and looked at Xie Xiangcai in front of him.
He took the wine gourd from Xie Xiangcai's hand, drank half of the peach blossom wine, and then threw the wine gourd to Xie Xiangcai.
Xie Xiangcai saw the wine gourd flipping around in the air, and was slightly stunned. In this stunned moment, all the wine was spilled from the air.
He subconsciously stretched out his hand to grab the wine gourd, but he couldn't stop the wine from falling rapidly.
The Seventh Young Master smiled knowingly, raised his arm slightly, stretched out his index finger, rotated it counterclockwise, and then made a hook in his own direction.
I saw the drinks that were scattered in the air and falling rapidly, suddenly stopped falling, and slowly rose up with the next breath, turning into a small water snake, hovering in front of Xie Xiangcai.
Xie Xiangcai's mouth widened, his pupils shrank, and he couldn't help but take two steps back.
The Seventh Young Master didn't take it seriously and said lazily, "Open your mouth."
Xie Xiangcai said "Ah".
With his mouth half-opened, the Seventh Young Master moved his fingers, and the water snake transformed from the wine rushed into Xie Xiangcai's mouth at lightning speed.
Xie Xiangcai suddenly closed his mouth tightly, but the fragrance of peach blossom stuffing spread between his lips and teeth, which was touching.
It turns out that in this world, not only beauty can intoxicate people's hearts, but so can fine wine.
When he first entered the city, the shochu the seventh senior brother handed him to drink was extremely strong.
Today, while drinking in a restaurant, the peach blossom wine that the Seventh Senior Brother put into his mouth was the most intoxicating.
There are three fine wines in the world: peach blossom, golden osmanthus and lychee.
The Seventh Young Master stood up, looked around at the yellow trees on the top of the mountain, sighed, and said with some pity, "It's a pity, I will never drink wine like that day again..."
Xie Xiangcai swallowed all the peach blossom wine in his mouth and felt cool in his lungs. Countless pure energy flowed down his throat and into each of his meridians.
"Bang——"
A dull sound sounded, and the young man's eyes brightened slightly. He clenched his fists, and the energy in his palms slowly condensed into a ball of emerald green light.
He raised his head and looked at the Seventh Young Master.
The Seventh Young Master smiled slightly, "You just broke through the realm. Now you are in the middle of the three realms."
Xie Xiangcai was a little surprised. He had just entered the early stage of the Three Realms not long ago. He did not expect that he would enter the middle stage in such a short time.
The Seventh Young Master was not surprised and said very calmly, "Junior brother, you have been practicing martial arts since you were a child. Thanks to the ancestors in your family who have laid an extraordinary foundation for you. As the saying goes, if the foundation is solid, the building will rise. In your body, the initial The original power has reached a relatively saturated state, and only a trace of external force enters the body to break through."
He casually picked a plump fruit from the lychee tree above his head, pushed it open and threw it into his mouth. While eating, he said, "In addition, between your upper Dantian and Baihui, there are pure fruits given by your ancestors." As long as you keep practicing martial arts, you can continuously refine and absorb the original power. As long as you have enough time, you can enter the six realms by raising your hand."
Xie Xiangcai opened his mouth slightly and looked at the emerald green light gradually dissipating between his palms. He pondered for a moment and then asked, "The lychee trees all over the mountain were formed by the flames of the fifth senior brother. It is just like this that the sword energy and sword moves of the fifth senior brother all appeared." Fiery red color. The emerald green light ball in my hand earlier shows that my strength, oh no, the attribute of my original power is wood?"
The Seventh Young Master smiled and shook his head. He stretched out his finger and pointed in the air. At this moment, the breeze blew over the hills.
The young man was startled, "Is it the wind?"
The Seventh Young Master nodded slightly, "Beyond the Five Elements, yet within the Five Elements. It is precisely because you are the wind that I will teach you the methods of nature. As I expected, Junior Brother, you have a very high level of understanding. Above six senior brothers."
Xie Xiangcai scratched his head in embarrassment, smiled, and said with some confusion, "Why six senior brothers."
The Seventh Young Master laughed loudly, walked forward, patted the young man on the shoulder, then grabbed the wine gourd from the other man's hand and drank boldly, "Because you can't compare to me!"
After saying this, he stuffed the wine gourd back into the young man's palm, turned around, looked at the sky, and laughed long and far away, "I am a banished immortal, and I laugh uninhibitedly in the world..."
Xie Xiangcai looked at the back of the Seventh Young Master absentmindedly. After a while, he lowered his head and looked at the wine gourd in his hand, feeling the sweet aroma of wine on the tip of his nose.
The Seventh Young Master laughed for a long time before he stopped, and turned around. His smile was actually a little bitter. However, after his eyes were fixed on the wine gourd, the sadness in his eyes disappeared again, "Junior brother, the mountain flowers here are blooming, and you can drink." A glass of nothing?”
