Song Yushan only found out the details of what happened last night after she went back and heard Uncle Jin tell her. He knew that she was curious, so he specifically asked about it when he went to the market to buy vegetables today.
There are rumors in the county that that day, the tongues of the second son of the Xu family were so swollen that they could not close their mouths. Granny Hua came at night, straightened their tongues, cut them with a knife, and the tongues oozed smelly pus and blood. , fell into the brazier and was burned by the fire.
On the second day, the tongue swelling of the second child of the Xu family had subsided and they were able to walk. However, everyone covered their mouths and did not speak. Everyone said that the karma ghost had damaged their tongues and they would all be mute in the future. .
After Song Yushan heard this, he realized that he was starting to shut up. After cutting off his grievances, he was not allowed to speak for seven or forty-nine days, otherwise the grievances would not be eliminated and the ghost of verbal karma would come back soon.
For such a long time, they couldn't refute anything others said about them. I'm afraid this feeling was uncomfortable. I guess after this lesson, their family would not dare to talk about people's rights and wrongs again in the future.
This incident continued day by day, from word to word, and gradually it became that whoever gossips behind someone's back will be tongue-tied by the gossips at night.
With the lessons learned from the second son of the Xu family, people who love to talk and spread rumors are also afraid. As a result, the atmosphere in Fushui County has improved a lot. When Song Yushan walked in the county, he heard less gossip.
Song Yushan didn't pay much attention to it anymore. His cultivation schedule was getting tighter and tighter. He had to go to Granny Hua's place at midnight every day, and the bookstore could only be open for two hours a day.
Scholars in the county complained quite a lot about this.
The scholar who was grateful for Song's father's help in the past reminded her tactfully, while the scholar who had no good impression of the Song family secretly thought about replacing him.
They all felt that the Song family's bookstore would have to go back further in her hands. She had been fishing for three days and drying nets for two days. No matter how good the business was, she couldn't withstand her doing this.
Song Yushan didn't care about these things at all, and devoted himself to practicing with Granny Hua.
She clearly understood what she needed most now.
Now she can't find a trustworthy and suitable person to help her look after the store, and her strength is not much better than ordinary people. If she is in a hurry to recruit people to look at the store, the possibility of complications is greater than the possibility of actually helping her. Much more.
Anyway, it is open at two fixed hours a day, which is enough for the scholars in the county. There are not so many people coming to buy books every day. Most of them come to buy paper. If they can't buy it today, they will come back tomorrow.
As the middle of the month approached and the moonlight gradually became stronger, Song Yu made good use of some merit to assist her practice.
But this time when he looked at the Jade Seal of Merit, Song Yushan discovered that he had one more ability.
[Jade Seal of Merit]
[Master: Song Yushan]
[Merit: 3/5] (Cultivation: 10) (Enlightenment: 0)
[Ability: Yuehua Heart Technique (middle stage of body tempering), Gale Wind Stick Technique (entry level)]
The Swift Wind Stick Technique is also included.
Song Yushan wanted to try using auxiliary training times to practice the stick method, but found that it could not be used here, and could only use the number of times to improve understanding.
She has not tried the effect of merit in improving understanding.
One point of merit can only be converted into three opportunities to improve one's understanding for one hour, which is more valuable than the number of auxiliary training sessions.
After Song Yushan thought about it carefully, he still was not in a hurry to use it.
Her stick skills are still in the stage of correcting her moves, and she has not yet entered the stage of focusing on understanding the meaning of the stick. It is a waste to use the opportunity to improve her understanding to practice the stick.
However, after knowing that the stick technique can also use merit to help her practice, Song Yushan felt more confident. She went to Grandma Hua's place to practice the stick method more seriously and diligently, hoping to perfect the moves as soon as possible so that she could use the merit to improve her understanding. Practice the stick and sharpen the stick.
In this way, as long as she has enough merit, the most difficult step of learning the stick will not be a problem for her.
Stick techniques are martial arts.
Martial arts, techniques, and magical powers are also divided into stages just like mental skills, and are divided into five stages: entry, minor, great, peak, and perfection.
The technique can only be practiced after the Qi Condensation stage, while magical power requires a higher level. Granny Hua has only heard of magical powers that are more powerful than the technique, but has never seen it in person.
Only martial arts has the lowest threshold for practice. Anyone can practice it and get started. It does not require mental state. However, correspondingly, its threshold is low but the difficulty of practice is high. Moreover, it is not supplemented by spiritual power, and most of its power is not as powerful as attack spells of the same level.
A monk may be good at several spells, but most of them only have one martial skill, or even none at all.
Most monks only use martial arts as a means of temporary self-protection in the body-tempering realm. At most, they can practice it until they reach the stage of minor accomplishment. After that, when they enter the Qi Condensation stage, they focus on techniques that are more effective and powerful at the beginning. Legally.
Except for those who really love martial arts, the only ones who spend their time thinking about martial arts are monks like Granny Hua who have no chance to enter the Qi Condensation Stage and come into contact with magic.
Grandma Hua has been practicing the Swift Wind Stick Technique for most of her life. She has only studied this stick technique, and now she is only at the stage of completion.
Song Yushan now sees the hope of practicing stick skills to a higher level.
Martial arts are difficult to practice, but with the help of spiritual power, they can outperform spells of the same level and are more flexible to use.
It's not just that martial arts are difficult to practice.
A month has passed, and all ten auxiliary training times have been used up. Song Yushan has already seen the hope of advancing to the late stage of the body tempering state. She finally practiced every stick move in place and connected it coherently under the strict teachings of Granny Hua. Woke up.
She walked down the road again and again, and looked for praise from her mother-in-law: "Master, how was this time?"
Granny Hua nodded happily: "This is where you really get started. After practicing diligently and understanding the meaning of "blast", the speed of the stick will become faster and faster. Everyone is different in understanding this aspect. I There isn’t much I can teach you…ahem…not much.”
As Granny Hua spoke, her hand holding the tea bowl shook and she choked and coughed.
Song Yushan hurriedly stepped forward and patted her on the back: "Master, why are you always so anxious to drink tea recently?"
This was not the first time that Master choked while drinking tea.
Granny Hua waved her hand: "I'm older and my hands are no longer stable."
Song Yushan frowned and asked: "Master, didn't you say before that the physical fitness of monks will not decline when they get old? Unless..."
Song Yushan scared himself as he spoke, "No, master is only seventy-five and has at least twenty-five years left to live. How could he start to become weak so quickly?"
Granny Hua motioned for her to sit next to her, held her hand, and said slowly: "Yushan, my teacher was too seriously injured that time when he was young, which damaged his lifespan. His lifespan is short, and it is normal for him to gradually become weak. You don’t need to worry…”
Song Yushan felt a huge panic coming towards her. Is her mother-in-law going to leave her too?
Is she really a evil star? Mother, grandmother, father, now is it the mother-in-law’s turn?
