Lu Duofu's arrival made Nangong Yue very happy. When she was more than ten years old, she finally had a junior brother of similar age to accompany her. Although Lu Duofu had been a beggar, he was extremely sensible and always competed for the work at home. In addition, he was extremely filial to his elders and was deeply loved by Nangong Xiu's family.
The happiest person was Bai Yunxi, who taught Lu Duofu how to read. Unexpectedly, Lu Duofu's understanding was astonishing. Whether it was rare characters or a collection of classics and history, he could master it as soon as he learned it and integrated it into everything. Just three months after he started studying, Bai Yunxi, who came from a scholarly family, felt deeply powerless and had nothing to teach him.
Nangong Xiu was also very happy after knowing this. It seems that he has good vision and has gained a good apprentice. To know the path of martial arts, understanding is extremely important. From Nangong Xiu's point of view, Lu Duofu has a very high level of understanding and a good character. As long as your physical qualifications are not particularly bad, your future prospects are limitless.
Lu Duofu is also looking forward to it extremely much. If the master says that he is very good, he will definitely not lie. After you learn the skills, you must act chivalrously and become a hero who stands upright. Also, Lu Duofu wanted to go back and have a good chat in front of Qian Xiaopang. Who makes this kid so crazy on weekdays?
On a sunny morning on Bixiu Peak, Nangong Xiu brought the basic skills secret book and asked Lu Duofu to read it in person. After Lu Duofu read it word for word and was able to give a general idea, Nangong Xiu confirmed that he could understand it and began to teach him how to practice.
The first step in cultivation is to refine Qi. Cultivators learn to attract the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into their bodies, circulate it around the body, and then transform it into spiritual power and store it in their bodies. After you become proficient in practice, you can practice some exercises to speed up the acquisition of spiritual power and quickly improve your cultivation level. Finally, practice some martial arts and learn to use your spiritual power in battle. The above is the entire process of cultivation.
The methods of refining qi are all simple and easy to understand, and all sects and sects are basically the same, except for some who take unconventional paths, such as ghost cultivators, evil cultivators and the like.
With Lu Duofu's understanding, he doesn't need to explain in detail, he can understand it as soon as he hears it. So Nangong Xiujiu left in a hurry. After all, as the leader of a sect, he was quite busy. So Lu Duofu was left to practice alone on the top of Bixiu Peak. The peak was full of spiritual energy and was most suitable for practice.
According to Nangong Xiu, although the method of refining Qi is simple and repetitive, it is not enough to quickly build Qi. It is mainly for people who have no cultivation experience and have just stepped into this path. They should not rush into anything and should carefully appreciate the movement of spiritual energy in the body. Don't force your luck, otherwise you will be distracted by your anger and go crazy.
The breeze blowing from the top of Bixiu Peak is refreshing. Lu Duofu sat down cross-legged, recalling Nangong Xiu's words just now, practicing according to the Qi refining method, and he took every step carefully. After all, Master has said that going too far will seriously injure a cultivator's vitality, and in severe cases may even cause irreversible and permanent damage to the body.
"Uh..." Lu Duofu groaned in pain. Even though he was careful, something went wrong. When the spiritual energy in the body reaches the end and is about to merge into the Dantian, I actually feel that my breath is obviously blocked, and there is a dull pain between my ribs.
Lu Duofu was startled. This symptom was very similar to what Master said about Qi Cha. Fortunately, the cultivation was in the initial stage and the damage was not serious. It was just a pain between his ribs and he felt nothing at all.
At the moment, he carefully compared the paper left by his master, and read the Qi refining method and notes written on it several times in detail. Lu Duofu was stunned on the spot. He was sure that he had practiced correctly. But what's the problem?
I practiced all day and accomplished nothing. Full of questions, Lu Duofu descended from the top of the mountain in frustration. He originally wanted to ask the master, but unfortunately, the master said in the morning that the son of an elder of a sect got married and invited the master to be a guest. So the master and his wife took the senior sister to visit. The place was far away and it would take half a month to come back. Nangong Xiu originally wanted to take Lu Duofu there, but for a new martial artist who looked forward to a bright future, training was far more attractive than the delicacies at the wedding banquet, so Lu Duofu refused. Now he was the only one left in the huge Bixiu Peak.
In the next few days, Lu Duofu went to the top of Bixiu Peak to practice every day. He tried thousands of times, but with the same result. Once the breath travels between the ribs, the pain will always be unbearable and get worse. However, Lu Duofu is not without gains. He is now extremely skilled in luck and can control his breath to change at will in his body, except that it cannot flow into his Dantian.
"Master and the others have been gone for half a month. It's time to come back." Lu Duofu muttered to himself, looking at the empty courtyard. Lu Duofu immediately walked to the top of the mountain. Master was coming back, so he had to practice hard and strive for some results. After all, the master said before leaving that Lu Duofu should not be lazy and practice hard, and he would have to accept it when he came back.
I hope this symptom of breath blockage can be solved! Otherwise, if you practice for half a month without any results, wouldn't it mean that you are useless? Lu Duofu thought about it while crossing his legs to try his luck. After practicing for less than half an hour, Lu Duofu suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest, then a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he fell to the ground unconscious.
…
"Uncle Master, how are you?" Nangong Xiu asked in the pharmacy of Yunyinmen Yunyao Hall.
"The aura in this child's body is weird, not ordinary. I have been practicing medicine for many years and have never seen anything like this before." An old man in gray clothes withdrew his hand from Lu Duofu's pulse point and shook his head.
After Lu Duofu fainted, if no one came to save him, his life might be in danger. At the critical moment, Nangong Xiu and the others came back and found him on the top of the mountain, so they quickly sent him to the Yunyao Hall in Luoxia Peak.
Yun Yaotang treated Lu Duofu. This old man in gray clothes was named Wen. In terms of seniority, he was Nangong Xiu's uncle. Although his cultivation level is not high, his medical skills are extremely good and he is very famous in Canglan Prefecture. If he couldn't cure Lu Duofu, it would be troublesome.
Bai Yunxi asked anxiously: "Uncle Wen, can't you tell what the disease is?"
"Master, please heal Xiao Fuzi. Nothing will happen to him." Nangong Yue's voice was not loud, but she was clearly crying.
Nangong Xiu touched Nangong Yuedi's forehead lovingly and said, "Don't worry Yue'er, my master has superb medical skills. Fortunately, he will be fine." Nangong Xiu saluted the old man and said, "Uncle, please, sir. ”
The old man in gray clothes said hurriedly: "As the master entrusts me, I will do my best. I will take a look later."
On the hospital bed, Lu Duofu was drowsy, his breathing was disordered, and he seemed to be in danger of his life at any time.
After Lu Duofu's clothes were untied, the old man in gray carefully inspected the strangeness of his body. After looking at it for a long time, he stretched out his hand to touch the meridians of the body one by one, and finally used the silver needle to test everywhere. During the whole process, the old man looked suspicious and became more serious.
Nangong Xiu noticed something strange about the old man and asked carefully: "How is it? Uncle Wen, have you noticed anything?"
The old man turned a deaf ear and frowned, as if he had encountered something difficult to understand. Seeing that the old man was so cautious, Nangong Xiu knew that he must have encountered a difficult disease, so he remained silent and waited quietly.
About half an hour later, the old man took back the silver needle, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and breathed a sigh of relief: "That's it."
Bai Yunxi said happily: "Did Uncle Master find out the cause of the disease? Can you make it clear?"
Nangong Yue also said: "Grandpa Master, what happened to Xiao Fuzi?"
The old man's face became more solemn, and he said solemnly: "I have lived for almost eighty years, and this is the first time in my life that I encountered this strange thing. This child has no spiritual veins, and is no different from ordinary people."
"What? How can a person have no spiritual veins?" Nangong Xiu said in shock. This was so ridiculous that Nangong Xiu even doubted whether the old man had misdiagnosed it.
"Yes, Uncle Master, this child is not a monster, so how could he not have a spiritual vein?" Bai Yunxi also felt it was incredible.
The old man seemed to be able to understand the mood of the three juniors, and sighed: "Although this matter sounds incredible, I am very sure. This child does not have spiritual veins. And the cause of his disease is that he practiced forcibly because of his broken veins, which caused the spiritual energy to enter If there is too much body, although most of the spiritual energy will escape the body on its own, a small amount will still remain in the body. Over time, the spiritual energy will accumulate, causing the meridians to be blocked, and this symptom will occur."
Nangong Xiu and the other three were stunned on the spot as if struck by lightning. Lu Duofu is very obedient, diligent and studious. After Nangong Xiu taught him the luck method, he must have practiced it diligently, but it only harmed him. It is really sad that such a ridiculous and bizarre thing could happen to a smart and studious child who was born with no pulse.
As we all know, spiritual veins are a prerequisite for a warrior to practice. After the spiritual energy enters the body and circulates around the world, the last step is to turn it into spiritual power through the spiritual veins. Without spiritual veins, the movement of spiritual energy into the body is incomplete, and there is no way to convert it into spiritual power, so one cannot enter the martial arts. Different people have different spiritual veins based on their physical constitution or acquired opportunities. Some special spiritual veins have some unique and powerful functions, such as accelerating the progress of cultivation, or being able to awaken to acquire special abilities the day after tomorrow, etc.
But the only thing that is certain is that everyone is born with one and only one spiritual vein, and it cannot be acquired through acquisition. Lu Duofu was born with a broken pulse, which meant that he could no longer practice in this life.
Nangong Xiu laughed miserably and sighed: "It seems that God's will is that this child is destined to have no chance of martial arts. That's fine, he can just be an ordinary person. Fortunately, he is very smart, reads and reads seriously, and will be able to honor his ancestors if he gets the top prize in the exam in the future. "
But as soon as these words came out, Nangong Xiu saw the pale faces of his wife and daughter, and knew that these words could not comfort anyone. At most, they could only comfort themselves. Everyone present, even Nangong Yue, knew it. In the world of warriors, what's the use of being a top scholar.
Bai Yunxi whispered: "Uncle Master, now that the root cause of the disease has been found, is there a way to cure Duofu?"
The old man said calmly: "This is natural. The stagnation of spiritual energy is not an incurable disease. As long as I use silver needles to help him guide the energy out of the body, he can get better. However, this cannot be done in a day, and the acupuncture must be repeated several times. Never let this kid practice again, remember that!"
Nangong Xiu nodded and said: "It's so troublesome for my uncle." Afterwards, he discussed with Baiyunxi that when Lu Duofu recovers from his illness, if he is not allowed to practice, he can be allowed to do whatever he likes. I hope he can learn a skill and use it in the future. There is a place to stand in this world.
The old man gave Lu Duofu acupuncture for a while, and Lu Duofu woke up. The old man repeatedly told Lu Duofu to go to Yunyao Hall to receive acupuncture every few days.
After learning that he had a terminal pulse, Lu Duofu felt really sad for a while, but he quickly accepted it. After all, what could be more hopeless than being a beggar? Although I can't practice now, my master, wife, and senior sister all care about me very much. I can eat well and wear warm clothes, so what's there to complain about?
Since being diagnosed with terminal pulse, Lu Duofu has become the most relaxed person in Yunyin Sect. Others have to spend a lot of time practicing every day for fear of falling behind, but Lu Duofu is the only one who does not feel the pressure of practicing. But Lu Duofu is not idle either. Although he is young, he also knows not to be idle, because no one likes lazy people.
Therefore, Lu Duofu consciously took charge of Bi Xiufeng's daily chores, cleaning the yard, washing clothes, and even learned how to cook from Bai Yunxi. Not to mention, this smart kid learns everything quickly. After learning in the kitchen several times, Lu Duofu tried to cook it himself. After several attempts, his cooking skills successfully conquered Nangong Xiu's family, and even Bai Yunxi, who always boasted of his extraordinary cooking skills, felt inferior.
So Lu Duofu cooked in the morning and evening, washed clothes and cleaned the yard during the day, read a book and walked around when he had nothing to do, and went to Xiayun Yaotang every now and then to get a needle, and he lived a leisurely life.
