After being out for a month, a lot of dust had accumulated in my home. After spending some time cleaning it up, I felt a little hungry.
After cooking two kilograms of bacon and eating it with a belly full of oil and water, Lu Yuan began to practice his internal skills after taking a bath.
Since there is no other technique to use as a reference for Liuyunzhang's inner skill, Lu Yuan doesn't know whether it is mysterious or not.
But based on his own personal experience, he felt that this technique was indeed worthy of the level of the palm technique itself, and was just a second-rate technique.
Ever since he understood the movement of the first meridian of the mind and started practicing, Lu Yuan would make sure to practice the mind for at least two hours every day.
But from October last year to February now, five months have passed, and his first meridian training is still only preliminary.
It's not much stronger than when the inner energy was first born.
The attribute template in Lu Yuan's mind does not have specific numbers, only realm divisions such as entry, small, success, dacheng, and perfection.
But as an actual practitioner of the technique, he still has some idea of the specific progress of his own cultivation.
At this time, he was practicing the Taiyin Lung Meridian of the Hand. This meridian has eleven points in total, which are divided into Zhongfu, Yunmen, Tianfu, Xiabai, Chize, Kongzui, Lieque, Jingqu, Taiyuan, Youji, Less business.
But until now, except for the Shaoshang point that was opened when I first developed the inner energy.
In the past five months, Lu Yuan had only opened the second Yuji point.
As for the third Taiyuan point, according to his estimate, it should take about three months to open.
This means that it takes about four months for Lu Yuan to open up an acupoint.
There are a total of eleven acupoints on the Taiyin Lung Meridian of the Hand, which takes about forty-four months, or about three and a half years.
"It took three and a half years to master a meridian. This progress..."
Lu Yuan calculated the number of meridians he needed to train. One meridian took three and a half years, and there were twelve regular meridians. Multiplied by that, it would be forty-two years.
In other words, it would take him about forty-two years to complete the Twelve Classics.
There are eight extra meridians at the back and two meridians: Ren and Du.
It would take at least a hundred years to complete the training of these ten meridians and penetrate the meridians of the whole body.
"In a hundred years, people will probably die of old age."
Lu Yuan couldn't help but shook his head when he thought of an old man who had grown old and had great internal strength.
After practicing kung fu to this age, even if you achieve great success in magical kung fu, you will only have two years left to live.
He can dominate the martial arts world for only two years.
What's the use of seizing a decent chivalrous girl from a well-known family, a witch from the underworld, who doesn't even know if she can be hard down there?
"No, I am immortal and have an unlimited lifespan. Even if a hundred years pass, I will still be young and have the same physical strength as a teenager. In this case, it seems that there is nothing wrong with spending a hundred years practicing internal skills." He suddenly thought This made me happy immediately.
As the saying goes.
When you are unhappy and see others being more unhappy than you, then you will be happy.
At this moment, as an immortal, Lu Yuan felt that he was qualified to be happy compared to ordinary warriors.
“And my qualifications shouldn’t be bad, but they’re not great either.
Judging from the few martial arts people I have contacted, the strongest one should be Ma Jiqing at the time.
But this person is only twenty-seven or eighty-years-old, and his strength is only at the peak of the third-rate. He has trained five meridians at most.
And I can reach this state in just fifteen years.
From this point of view, my training qualifications should be at an ordinary or medium level.
Not a genius, but not a fool either.
not bad. "
Lu Yuan nodded with satisfaction.
For an immortal, he doesn't ask for great qualifications, he just wants to be someone who is not hopelessly stupid.
As long as one's own qualifications can support cultivation, everything else can be piled on by relying on endless lifespan.
Those who are immortal cannot compete with those short-lived species for temporary honor and disgrace.
…
After practicing internal energy for two hours, Lu Yuan felt that the acupoints were a little clearer and closer to opening the Taiyuan acupoint, so Lu Yuan fell asleep with satisfaction.
On the second day.
After breakfast, he went to the town study to buy some good pens, inks, paper and inkstones. Carrying the gifts, he went to visit Sun Siwen at his door.
When I arrived at the other party's home, I realized that I was not the first one to get it.
"Brother Lu is here."
Sun Siwen opened the door and welcomed Lu Yuan in. Sun Siwen looked very happy and introduced enthusiastically: "Come on, Brother Lu, I will introduce you to a friend."
He pointed to the scholar in green clothes next to him and said: "This is Brother Xu Ce, the son of the Xu family in the town, and my classmate. He passed the scholar examination seven years ago and is a famous talent in the county."
After saying that, he turned to Xu Ce and said: "Brother Xu, this is Brother Lu Yuan, my good friend. Although he is just a hunter, he is actually very skilled in martial arts and is a hermit in our town."
Lu Yuan looked at Sun Siwen and took a few glances. He was rosy-cheeked and full of energy. He looked like a completely different person than the one who had been lamenting in sorrow for the past two months.
'It seems that I have passed the examination and achieved my long-cherished wish. Brother Sun's chest and heart knots were relieved, and he became better as well. "
He secretly thought in his heart, with a smile on his face, he cupped his hands to Xu Ce next to him and said, "Brother Xu."
The Xu family is a big family in the town. They have 300 acres of fertile land and two shops in the town. I heard that they also run a wine shop in the city. They are wealthy and are not in the same class as Lu Yuan and Sun Siwen. , there will basically be no intersection.
Unexpectedly, such a person would come to visit Sun Siwen after he became a scholar.
The word fame is really a good medicine for changing class for people in this world, and the effect is immediate.
"Brother Lu."
Xu Ce returned the gift nonchalantly, but couldn't help but think in his heart: "This Sun Siwen is really a disgrace to our generation of scholars. He was stupid in the past, but now he is willing to befriend a little hunter. He is really humiliating himself." Identity, no ethics.
My father also said that he had passed the imperial examination, was a scholar, and was a fellow countryman, so he asked me to make acquaintance with him.
Now it seems that after today, it is better to stay away.
If you stay with him for a long time in this mud that you can't support, don't make yourself stink. '
Mr. Xu thought to himself and had made a decision.
As for Sun Siwen's description of Lu Yuan's martial arts skills and that of a hermit, he simply ignored it.
For orthodox scholars, even though this is a world of martial arts, they still look down on those so-called martial arts warriors in their hearts.
Even disgusted.
After all, it is not an empty saying that chivalrous people use force to break the ban, but the consensus of all scholars.
Ever since Lu Yuan arrived, the conversation between Xu Ce and Sun Siwen had become somewhat cold.
Later, they chatted for a few words in a hurry, and after a few polite words, they left directly.
Among them, the rejection and contempt of Lu Yuan, an Orion, was basically hidden, which made Sun Siwen feel very embarrassed.
"Brother Lu, Brother Xu doesn't look down on you, it's just..."
Lu Yuan interrupted the other party's words, shook his head and said with a smile: "Brother Sun, there is no need to explain. It is normal for a scholar like him who thinks highly of himself to look down on me as a hunter. Coincidentally, I also look down on such a rotten person. "
At this time, he turned around and said jokingly: "Brother Sun, you won't look down on me, a poor and humble person, after you have passed the exam, right?"
Hearing this, Sun Siwen immediately shook his head and said excitedly: "What did Brother Lu say? You and I met in poverty and grew up in humble beginnings, but we are truly close friends. The love between us, especially the mere fame, can't stop us. ?”
"It's enough to have Brother Sun say this."
Lu Yuan laughed twice, and then invited the other party to have a drink and chat as usual.
Brother Sun took the imperial examination this time and his class has jumped up. I think he should have access to more information.
Just take this opportunity to take out all the goods in the other party's belly.
Our mainland immortals also have different thoughts when they come here this time.
…
In the next few days, Lu Yuan kept drinking and chatting with Sun Siwen, quietly picking up the news from each other's stomach, and listening to his friend's emotional talk about his feelings after passing the exam.
Sometimes while talking, Sun Siwen couldn't help crying.
In response, Lu Yuan could only toast two more glasses of wine to show his understanding.
This kind of day did not last long.
Because Sun Siwen is very busy.
After passing the examination, as a new talent, he had to be busy making friends with fellow candidates, visiting other scholars in the county, participating in various poetry and cultural gatherings held by literati, and integrating into the scholar's reading circle.
In addition to these, perhaps it was high school this time that gave Sun Siwen confidence.
He plans to continue his efforts and take the autumn exam this year.
Yes, you heard me right, Scholar Sun plans to take the imperial examination.
The reason why he came up with this idea, he said, was that when he visited an old Juren in the county half a month ago, the other party praised him and said that Sun Shusheng had a solid foundation in skills and had accumulated enough to be able to take part in the autumn examination and pass the Juren exam.
Lu Yuan did not comment on this.
Although in his heart, he basically thought that these were the polite words of the old Juren.
But since my friends take it seriously and have such a spirit, then as a friend, I will naturally encourage and support you.
"At most, wait until the other party's reputation has faded, and then treat him to two drinks to comfort him." Lu Yuan thought in his heart.
Sun Siwen began to be busy making literary friends, preparing for the autumn examination, and trying to win the title of Juren.
Lu Yuan was at leisure.
After two busy months in the spring, he now has a rich family fortune, with a savings of more than 1,150 taels.
Basically, if there are no big expenses in the future, there will be no shortage of money in the next ten years.
In this case, there will naturally be no financial crisis.
Therefore, these days, he even slacked off hunting a lot.
In addition to occasionally going into the mountains to practice my skills and not let my hunting skills become rusty, I would buy some poems, songs, miscellany, and Buddhist and Taoist classics to read every day.
The reason why we need to look at these is mainly due to Lu Yuan's experience after suffering losses when he studied the mental method before.
Although Liuyun Palm is a second-rate secret book, as Lu Yuan started to study it after he learned the characters, and continued to deepen it, he gradually felt that it was obscure and difficult.
Because he discovered that this martial arts is not only a classical Chinese text, but also a semi-Taoist scripture.
That's right, it's the Taoist Scriptures.
In Liuyunzhang's inner strength method, a lot of Taoist knowledge is used in many core concepts and some vocabulary descriptions.
If you do not know the corresponding Taoist knowledge about the core of many key points, you will not be able to understand the mystery at all, let alone understand and practice them.
As Lu Yuan deepened his spiritual practice, he became more and more aware of this situation.
It's okay now that it's just the first meridian. It doesn't involve much in various Taoist concepts. With current knowledge, I can barely interpret it.
But when your cultivation becomes more in-depth and reaches higher levels, without a certain cultural background, you will not be able to cultivate to the level of a high monk.
The simplest example.
For the various meridians and acupoints of the human body, many Taoist terms are used in the mind method to name them, and the direction and rules of movement of the internal energy in the various meridians and acupoints are also described using Taoist concepts.
If you don't know these terms and concepts, and you just follow a picture in a book to operate your internal energy, it would be strange if there are no problems.
"If I don't know the Dao Sutra, and just rely on my current knowledge, I can only practice the first two meridians of the heart method and become a third-rate warrior. If I want to go further, I must involve the Dao Zang Nei Sutra."
Lu Yuan was speechless and strongly criticized this approach of forcibly setting up knowledge barriers.
But after the criticism, I still honestly picked up a copy of "Tongxuan Yingying Sutra" and read it seriously.
Although it should be six years before I reach the second level of my mental skills, there is still a long time.
But precisely because of this, it is time to accumulate knowledge in advance and make adequate preparations.
And don’t even mention it.
As he studied various poems, songs, anecdotes, and Buddhist and Taoist classics, Lu Yuan also gained insights and felt that his state of mind had improved a lot.
Ask, how to improve one's own quality?
Answer, read more.
…
In the blink of an eye, another month has passed.
On this day, Lu Yuan temporarily put down his studies. The martial arts training materials at home were used up, and he needed to go to the city to replenish some.
Since I didn't go hunting this month and didn't have any leather, I stopped carrying the big backpack and set off lightly, which was much faster.
After traveling for an hour and paying ten cents to enter the city, we rushed directly to the Zhou Family Medicine Store.
However, when we arrived at the market, we were met by several people.
"Lu Yuan."
Mr. Scar from the Black Wolf Gang and several of his younger brothers stopped in front.
"Master Scar." Lu Yuan looked calm, without showing his usual charming smile, and casually cupped his hands.
"Bold, why are you talking to our Mr. Scar?"
Seeing his attitude, several gangsters from the Black Wolf Gang were furious and wanted to teach him a lesson.
However, before he took a step forward, Lu Yuan looked over coldly.
After killing thousands of mountain animals and dozens of South China Sea gangsters, Lu Yuan naturally gathered an aura around him.
To put it simply, it is a kind of momentum.
It's probably similar to the feeling an ordinary person would feel standing in front of a tiger. You can imagine it in your mind.
At this time, when he released it a little, the cursing boy was immediately frightened and his movements slowed down.
Mr. Scar is knowledgeable and experienced. After noticing this momentum, he waved his hand to stop his younger brother.
Then he looked at Lu Yuan, looked up and down, and said with a cold face: "You are not selling anything when you enter the city this time?"
"Ah." Lu Yuan said calmly: "I have changed my profession and will not be a hunter anymore."
Now that he has made enough money, of course he can no longer be a humble hunter and then go to the city to accompany these guys with a smiling face and let them exploit him.
So after returning from Nanhai County, Lu Yuan had decided not to be an Orion anymore.
From then on, hunting was not a means of livelihood, but just a hobby.
Mr. Scar's expression turned ugly: "Have you practiced martial arts?"
From Lu Yuan, he felt a similar aura to those of the masters in the gang who had developed internal martial arts skills.
Just as powerful, just as murderous.
"I have been practicing for a year and I have achieved some success." Lu Yuan smiled and admitted generously.
Previously, I was keeping a low profile, so I had to give in. Now that he has practiced martial arts and gained strength, it is naturally impossible to become a grandson again.
Otherwise, it would be like becoming a grandson.
And although he couldn't expose Flowing Cloud Palm, his basic strength and internal blessing alone were not comparable to those of ordinary people.
This strength is enough to scare those fools.
Otherwise, if he is always annoyed by these flies, he is afraid that one day he will really be unable to bear it and kill someone.
Although killing these guys is what Lu Yuan wants in his heart.
But not yet.
I'm not strong enough to deal with the Black Wolf Gang, and I don't want to be on the run yet.
It would be better to wait ten years to crush these ants.
'Hopefully these guys survive until then. Lu Yuan looked at Mr. Scar and the others with a smile, his eyes were deep.
