On this day, the morning stars were dim.
The boy was wearing a cardigan, showing off his muscular chest.
He raised his hands horizontally, holding wooden barrels on his left and right sides, and ran quickly on the hill behind Fang Mansion.
He was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye he came from the back mountain to the courtyard.
After passing through several halls, he came to a small room filled with oily smoke. This was the Fang family's kitchen.
"The chicken soup is ready. Get the two biggest soup bowls. Quick!"
"There's not enough firewood here. Go to the door and chop the pile of firewood and bring it over!"
"Have the dishes been washed? Bring them here quickly!!"
At this time, it was still a long time before sunrise, but the kitchen was already very busy.
In the crowded space, dozens of people were busy, processing various meats and vegetables here, cleaning various pots and pans there, and several naked men were working hard to stir-fry on the huge iron pot. , and next to it are several helpers holding clean dishes, ready to hand them to the cooking chef at any time.
A few days ago, a helper resigned and returned to his hometown, and the kitchen was a little busy. Lin Yu heard about this and volunteered to help.
His idea is very simple. Not only can he earn more money by helping here, he can also strengthen his body. It's like killing two birds with one stone!
The fat chef poured the fried vegetables into the bowl. He happened to see Lin Yu coming back with a bucket, so he said hello casually.
"Hey, Arin, it's so fast!"
Lin Yu nodded, poured the water in the bucket into a nearby water tank, and asked with a smile: "Chef Huang, is there anything else you want me to do?"
Chef Huang waved his hands, and the fat on his belly continued to shake.
"No, no, no, you've already picked up more than ten buckets of water. Are you exhausted?"
Lin Yu said quickly: "No, no."
"Butler Wang just sent someone to find you and asked you to meet him in the front hall."
"Oh, Butler Wang is looking for me?" Lin Yu was a little surprised.
"Yes, hurry up and go." Chef Huang nodded to confirm.
Knowing that the housekeeper was looking for him, Lin Yu didn't dare to neglect him. After putting on his coat, he hurriedly ran out of the kitchen.
Now, Lin Yu has been practicing with Wu Yi for more than two months. The high-intensity training has left his feet covered with blisters and several pairs of shoes have been worn out.
However, although training is hard, Lin Yu's gains are also very obvious. At a glance, his thin body is obviously much stronger and he has grown a lot taller.
Lin Yu was grateful from the bottom of his heart for Wu Yi. In just two months, he had undergone earth-shaking changes.
However, Lin Yu hadn't seen Wu Yi for a long time. Hearing that he was in retreat at this time, Lin Yu didn't dare to disturb him.
In the past two months, Lin Yu has memorized all the contents of Xuan Gangjin.
Xuan Gang Jin is a qi training method that opens up 365 major acupoints in the body through practicing inner breath.
If the mental method is perfected, the practitioner's "jing", "qi" and "spirit" will be completely sublimated.
The two major cultivation methods of "sitting meditation" and "breathing" are the most important parts of Xuan Gang Jin.
When Lin Yu exercises every morning and evening, he supplements his practice with "breathing methods", which not only saves physical energy, but also doubles the effectiveness of his practice.
"Sitting Zen" is the most important part of the entire exercise. If you want to open up the 365 major acupoints in the body and cultivate Xuan Gang Jin to perfection, you need to practice sitting meditation for a hundred consecutive days, and it must not be less than six times a day. This hour is called "a hundred days of sitting meditation" in the book.
However, Lin Yu couldn't be lazy in his work and practice during the day, so he had to use his rest time at night to practice this zazen method.
It is strange to say that no matter how hard and tired Lin Yu is that day, no matter how exhausted he is, as long as he sits in meditation and adjusts his breath for a few hours, he will be as energetic as a normal person the next day.
However, his time is limited after all, and even at night, he needs to spend most of his time sleeping.
In this way, Lin Yu spent all his free time sitting in meditation. Even so, the total time he spent in sitting meditation every day was only about three hours, which was far from what was required in the book.
Therefore, although Lin Yu has been practicing for more than two months, the progress of "Hundred Days of Zazen" is only as good as thirty days.
Lin Yu rushed to the front hall, where a stout middle-aged man was explaining errands to others.
After he finished his instructions, Lin Yu quickly stepped forward to salute.
"Steward Wang, are you looking for me?"
"Oh, A Lin is here..." Steward Wang took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Lin Yu, "Here is a letter for you. It was sent by someone from your village."
Lin Yu took the envelope respectfully and stepped aside to read the contents of the letter.
He was naturally very happy when he received the letter from home, but after a while, his face suddenly turned pale.
"Arin, did something happen to your family?"
Seeing that something was wrong with Lin Yu's expression, Butler Wang asked.
"Steward Wang, it's... it's my mother. My mother is sick!" Lin Yuyan was very anxious.
According to the letter, Lin Yu's mother was infected with miasma and her condition had worsened, so she asked him to go home quickly.
"Miasma, this is already a very serious disease, and it may even...may even be life-threatening."
Lin Yu's face changed for a moment, then he gritted his teeth and clasped his fists respectfully at Butler Wang.
"Steward Wang, my mother is seriously ill at this time and he is the only one at home. The little one must go home to take care of me for a while. Please allow me!"
"That's it. If you just go home for a while, no problem! Let others take over your work first, and then you can continue after you come back."
Butler Wang was extremely reasonable and agreed to Lin Yu's request for leave. Then, he took out a few pieces of broken silver from his pocket and handed them to Lin Yu.
"By the way, Arin, you take the money first."
"Steward Wang..." Lin Yu was a little frightened.
"Your mother is seriously ill and needs money for the place. Just think of this money as something you paid in advance."
"Thank you, Butler Wang!" Lin Yu took the money directly without hesitation.
As Steward Wang said, he really needs the money now.
"No need to thank me!" Steward Wang waved his hand, "The eldest son specifically asked me to take good care of you before he left. Now that your family is in trouble, this is what I should do."
Lin Yu's gratitude was beyond words. He was just an ordinary servant of the Fang Mansion. He didn't expect that the eldest son and Butler Wang would take such good care of him. Lin Yu was so excited that he knelt down in front of Butler Wang and kowtowed three times.
"Steward Wang, I, Alin, cannot repay the Fang family for their great kindness. From now on, I will be a member of the Fang family in life and a ghost of the Fang family in death. I will be a slave of the Fang family in this life!"
"Hey, get up quickly." Butler Wang helped Lin Yu up, "There's no need to do this big gift, go pack your things quickly, don't keep your mother waiting!"
"yes!"
After leaving the front hall, Lin Yu originally planned to go back to his residence, but then he thought about it and ended up in another house.
"Is Lord Wu Yi here?"
This is the residence where Wu Yi lives. Lin Yu has not seen Wu Yi recently, and it is not clear whether he is still in the house at this time.
Just when Lin Yu was about to leave, the door of the house was suddenly opened, and a person walked out, it was Wu Yi.
"What's up?"
Wu Yi was also a little surprised by Lin Yu's sudden visit.
"Master Wu Yi, something happened at home. I have to go back for a while. I'm really sorry." Lin Yu's tone was very sincere.
"oh?"
Wu Yi frowned. He could see Lin Yu's efforts these days. Since he said so, there must be something urgent at home.
"Master Wu Yi, your teachings will be unforgettable to Alin. Even if I go home, I will continue to train every day and never let down your teachings!"
After saying that, Lin Yu bowed deeply towards Wu Yi, then turned and left.
Looking at Lin Yu's back, Wu Yi had a rare smile on his face.
"This kid is quite interesting!"
After packing his luggage, Lin Yu passed by the group of rockeries again.
There are traces of movement at the bottom of most of the rockeries here.
These marks were all caused by Lin Yu moving them secretly.
"Before you leave, let's try this piece again!"
This rockery is more than three meters high, much higher than other rockeries. Even three big men can hold hands to surround this rockery.
Lin Yu had moved all the rockeries in the area, but he couldn't move them at all.
At this time, Lin Yu stared at the hill in front of him and walked forward slowly.
He bent his legs into a horse stance and hugged the bottom of the rockery tightly with his arms.
"Get up!" Lin Yu roared, using all his strength.
However, to his disappointment, the rockery remained motionless.
Whenever he encounters a rockery that cannot be moved, he will concentrate on it, use his mysterious energy, and gather the breath in his body to one point. After that, he can lift the heavy object that is difficult to move.
In the past two months, Lin Yu has memorized all the contents of Xuan Gangjin.
Sure enough, after casting the spell with all his strength, Lin Yu's lower abdomen began to feel hot, and a warm current flowed from his navel to his whole body.
The rockery that had been motionless just now began to tremble slightly.
"Ah ah--!"
Lin Yu's veins popped out, and huge strength burst out from his body instantly.
Originally, he thought he could successfully lift the rockery with all his strength.
But now it seems that even if he exerts all his strength to suck the milk, he still can't move the rockery one bit.
"Sure enough, my training is not enough!"
Lin Yu was a little discouraged and felt extremely disappointed.
"Forget it, I will definitely lift this rockery when I come back next time!"
Thinking that his mother was seriously ill in bed, Lin Yu did not stay any longer, picked up the luggage on the ground and left Fang Mansion.
After Lin Yu left, cracks suddenly appeared on the surface of the rockery, and then continued to expand...
"Boom!"
With a loud noise, the entire rockery exploded out of thin air, leaving only rubble scattered on the ground.
