Bai Gu deliberately took Bai Xiaoxiao to a noodle restaurant in the west of the city for dinner, and then took a long circle from the west city gate and returned to Lingding Lane from the east alley.
Avoiding the old Liu Tou's house at the head of the West Alley.
Bai Gu carried Bai Xiaoxiao home on his back.
Bai Xiao was full of snacks and felt warm in his new cotton-padded clothes, so he lay on Bai Gu's back and fell asleep. He didn't know when he would get home.
It's not that Bai Gu didn't want to tell Old Liu Tou that Bai Xiaoxiao was healed and was back. It's just that he still hasn't figured out how to face Lao Liutou and what to say to him.
It is better not to see each other than to be speechless.
Bai Gu was lying on the wooden bed, and on his right side lay the sleeping Bai Xiaoxiao. He was holding a small bamboo slip in his left hand, closing his eyes and relaxing.
Let's go find the drunkard tomorrow. I hope this cheap master can be useful and don't fall behind like a magician every time.
Bai Gu woke up early in the morning. After setting up Bai Xiaoxiao's breakfast, Bai Gu went out.
There's nothing to do today, so I'll go early and come back early so that Xiaoxiao won't be afraid of being alone at home.
I don't know if it was a coincidence or not, but Bai Gu met the drunkard at the breakfast stall.
As soon as Bai Gu moved his buttocks, he sat next to the drunkard, picked up a sesame seed cake and started to bite it unceremoniously.
The drunkard glanced at him.
"Why, a master can't even treat his apprentice to breakfast, so he's so stingy?" Bai Gu is very thick-skinned when it comes to eating.
"How are you doing with your spiritual enlightenment skills?" The drunkard didn't care about these sesame seed cakes and turned around to ask Bai Gu about his practice.
After all, you have accepted someone's apprenticeship ceremony and become someone's master. No matter how unwilling you are, you have to show off.
Bai Gu wolfed down a sesame seed cake, took a sip of soy milk, and picked up another sesame seed cake to eat, "I haven't repaired it, I can't read, and the characters on it are too small to read."
"Then you didn't come to see me yesterday?"
"I had something to do yesterday and I was busy. I'll come over to see you today." After just two bites, most of the sesame biscuits in Bai Gu's hand were gone.
The drunkard was speechless for a while, "You pour spiritual power into it, and it will automatically emerge and be imprinted in your mind."
Bai Gu raised his head and looked at the drunkard with a look that looked like he was mentally retarded, "Do you think I can mobilize my spiritual power?"
The drunkard was stunned for a moment, yes, if this kid knew how to do it, why would he give him spiritual enlightenment? Wouldn't it be better to just give the exercises directly?
Bai Gu randomly stuffed the remaining sesame seed cakes into his mouth and couldn't help but feel deeply speechless.
It seems that this cheap master is somewhat unreliable. Old guy, let’s see if I beat you up next time we meet!
Bai Gu picked up another sesame seed cake and started chewing it.
The drunkard suddenly reached out his hand and pressed it on Bai Gu's hand, with a look of surprise in his eyes.
"Hey, you think I've eaten too much? Don't let me eat it if you don't want it, you stingy man!" Bai Gu looked at the steaming sesame cake in his hand, but the drunkard held his hand down and couldn't eat it, so he complained dissatisfied shouted.
The drunkard ignored Bai Gu, and just pulled Bai Gu's other hand over and held it down.
"Hey, no, why did you start touching me after just two words? Thank you for being a teacher!"
The drunkard looked at Bai Gu and said nothing to him, "Have you practiced before?"
"Guess why I wanted to become your teacher at that time?" Bai Gu rolled his eyes.
As long as I have a choice, I don't want to be a master like you.
"But why are all the meridians in your body opened?" The drunkard let go of his hand and asked with some confusion.
"Isn't this bad?" Bai Gu continued to stuff the sesame seed cakes into his mouth. They wouldn't taste good when they got cold.
The drunkard thought for a moment, "In practice, you usually first introduce the spirit into the body. After success, you slowly use spiritual power to open up the meridians and acupuncture points on the body. Only then can you barely cross the first threshold. But now you seem to You still can't bring spirits into your body, and all the meridians in your body have been opened. It's like the same city. Others build roads first and then build roads. You build roads first and then build roads. It's the opposite of others."
Bai Gu swallowed the sesame seed cake in his mouth, frowned and said, "Is it bad? Is there any harm?"
"There's nothing bad or bad about it. It's just that others can open up their own meridians and know better how to operate their own spiritual power, which will save more effort. How to transfer the spiritual power can be more compatible with the practice. As for you, If the situation is different, you need to use your spiritual power more, be familiar with the direction of the meridians, and know which direction to transfer your spiritual power is the most suitable practice method for you. It may only take a few days for others, but you have to spend several times as much time as others to figure it out. Come out. And you can only rely on yourself, no one else can help you."
After the drunkard finished speaking, he was about to grab a sesame seed cake to eat, but found that the two sesame seed cakes left on the plate had all been taken care of by Bai Gu.
How can this kid eat it? Old guy, why didn't you tell me earlier?
The drunkard twitched his lips and had no choice but to ask the store owner to bring a few more meat buns.
"Is that so? Wouldn't it be much slower than other people's cultivation progress? Isn't that a disadvantage?" When Bai Gu saw the meat buns on the table, he picked one up and started eating without any courtesy. He didn't forget to turn around and greet the drunkard. "Eat, Master. I'm not full in the morning. I'm too hungry at noon, so I can't eat much."
What a good boy, you treat yourself like an uncle.
But the drunkard has a big heart and doesn't care about this. "Others need to open up their own meridians, which takes a long time. There are thirty-six major meridians in the body, seventy-two strange meridians, and one hundred and eight passes. You are already one step ahead of others." After doing all this, how can others know the direction of their own meridians, as good as you, who can revisit your old place?"
Revisiting the old place? This metaphor seems inappropriate, right?
"It should be Yima Pingchuan, or Sunshine Avenue, right? I've never practiced cultivation, so what the hell is revisiting my old place?" Bai Gu had already swallowed two buns while speaking.
The drunkard looked indifferent: "It's almost the same. Speaking of which, when I just checked your meridians, I found that you seem to be able to move your spiritual power. What's going on?"
"I don't know. I went to Guxue Peak before, and when I came back down the mountain, it worked somehow, but it could only work a little bit, and it wouldn't work if it was too much."
"Gu Xuefeng?" Only then did the drunkard notice a red mark on Bai Gu's forehead between his eyebrows. The hand holding the bun shook inadvertently, "That's not surprising."
Bai Gu frowned, does this drunkard know Mr. Xu?
But before Bai Gu could speak, the drunkard had already spoken: "You still have a problem in your body right now, that is, you have too much pure spiritual power. This will become a big problem in your current practice."
"Isn't the more spiritual power the better? Isn't this the only way to achieve higher levels of cultivation?"
The drunkard picked up the last bun and said, "In the long run, this is indeed the case, but you have just stepped into the path of spiritual practice now, and you are not one of those big guys with hands and eyes all over the sky. Naturally, you cannot compare. Practitioners absorb the spiritual power of heaven and earth. However, the spiritual power of heaven and earth is mixed and chaotic. Beginners who have just entered the practice don’t need to worry too much about this. Beginners need to open up the meridians and acupoints first and construct their own spiritual power circulation route. But it’s just that As your cultivation improves, your spiritual power will be refined to a higher and higher degree. The higher the spiritual power is refined, the more solid the foundation of your cultivation will be, and the level of improvement will be much more stable. The spirit in your body now The essence of power is too high, even if you want to absorb the spiritual power of heaven and earth, you will be rejected, just like a dirty beggar who cannot enter a clean and tidy palace."
"Then I won't be able to absorb the spiritual power of heaven and earth to practice?" Bai Gu said with a sad face.
"Use the spiritual power in your body. That spiritual power is extremely pure. Use it to lay the foundation, and your future path of practice will be very solid. It's just about the amount of spiritual power and the degree of refinement that you need for each realm in the future. , will be a level higher than others.”
Bai Gu's whole body was in bad shape, "In other words, it will be more difficult for me to break through in the future than others."
"Logically speaking, that's the case." The drunkard paused, "But there are two pieces of good news. The spiritual energy in your body is enough for you to use for a long time, and it won't be too late for you to consider the essence of spiritual energy when the time comes. However, During this period, you can try to refine your spiritual power to see if you can meet the spiritual power needs in your body. Don’t wait until your body’s spiritual power is used up before you think about refining the spiritual power of heaven and earth. It will be too late.”
"Is there another piece of good news?" Bai Gu finally had a little hope in his heart.
"Didn't you listen to what I just said?" The drunkard glanced at Bai Gu, "The higher the level of spiritual power is, the more solid the foundation of cultivation will be. You are building a house and laying the foundation now. Others may only be two or three meters tall." , but you are the foundation of tens of meters or even hundreds of meters. Although your speed of breaking through the realm will be slower in the future, but with the same punch, you can be regarded as the best among the same realm."
Bai Gu groaned, expressing his understanding, but he was already happy in his heart.
The best among people in the same situation, aren't these the protagonists in the book? not bad!
The drunkard immediately poured a basin of cold water down, "I just said that there is too much pure spiritual power in your body, and there is another side effect, that is, I don't know if you can fully absorb it and use it for your own use. Cultivation is like plowing a field, and the human body is In the fields, spiritual energy is used as fertilizer, and the treasures of heaven, materials and earth are used to fertilize the fields. The essence of spiritual energy in your body now is a high-quality fertilizer, but your foundation is too poor. It is equivalent to a piece of barren land. The best fertilizer is difficult to absorb in this barren land like yours.”
Bai Gu twitched the corner of his mouth, "What should we do?"
"There is no way. You can only solve this problem by yourself, no one else can help you. This spiritual power is a double-edged sword for you, both good and bad. If you solve it, the road ahead will be smooth. If you can't solve it, your cultivation will The road can only stop here." After the drunkard finished speaking, he got up and went to pay the bill.
Bai Gu sat there blankly, at a loss.
The drunkard soon returned.
He patted Bai Gu's head and said, "Let's go, I'll take you somewhere fun."
