The next day, when the dim light from the east was still under the horizon and everything was still, Qingya, who was still sleeping, was awakened by Liu Bailu.
Yesterday, the two of them only made a verbal promise to become master and disciple, but the etiquette of apprenticeship is indispensable. The dew that has condensed on the bamboo leaves at night is plucked, the heat is rolling in the red clay fire, and the new shoots are reviving their vitality while flying up and down.
In front of the hall, Guiyan stretched out his wings. The young man cleaned his hands, straightened his clothes, and served tea with both hands. After the master took it, he knelt down and bowed with his hands to the ground and his head to the ground. It is said that there is gold under a man's knees. If he does not kneel to heaven and earth, he will not kneel to the king. In heaven and earth, only the kindness of upbringing and the love of preaching, imparting knowledge and solving doubts can afford to kneel down and worship.
Traveling north and south in the morning, the sky is green at dusk, and the green snake in the sleeve is courageous.
The immortal strokes his head and teaches him the secret, and he dreams of visiting Xihua for nine days.
Liu Bailu broke off a bamboo branch and clasped it on Qingya's left shoulder. From this moment on, the mystery of the world would be opened before the young man's eyes.
"The beginning of the nameless heaven and earth, the name of the mother of all things. Heaven and earth do not generate themselves, so they can live forever. In the nine hundred and fifty-sixth year of the death of the sky, Liu Bailu, the head of the Yaoguang Emperor, is willing to be the protector of Qingya, guarding him in seeking the way and asking questions. Path. All things seek their origins, and the light is the same as the dust. You should reach the extreme of emptiness, keep quiet, live in a good place, have a good heart, uphold the aspirations of the blue clouds, and ride on the swaying wind."
"Disciples, please remember Master's teachings."
At that time, Qingya did not understand what his master said, nor did he know the weight of the three words "protector". He only remembered that day when the morning star was waning and the moon was waning, and Liu Bailu stood in front of him, like a bright moon. .
"The rivers and lakes are far apart. We, master and disciple, are of the same mind and will go and return together." Qingya understood this sentence.
The dim skylight slightly illuminated the chaotic night. Liu Bailu stood in front of him, pointing to the path under his feet, and began to take the first step on the path of Qingya Cultivation.
"In the two months starting from today, your daily task is to run along this road around Yaoguang Peak, from Mao hour to noon. Remember, no matter how tired you are during this period, you can slow down. , but you are not allowed to stop. You can rest for a quarter of an hour every other hour. Don’t be lazy. How much effort you put in today will determine how much you will gain in the future. If one day you are stuck in a bottleneck and cannot break through, then No matter how much you regret it, it will be too late." For fear that the disciple would be lazy, Liu Bailu warned him word by word.
"Disciples must go all out and not dare to slack off at all."
After Qing Ya finished speaking, he took steps and ran out. When Qingya's figure turned a corner and disappeared from sight, Liu Bailu took one step forward and flew towards the sky.
It was exactly the time of Shenshi at this moment. It was already bright and the summer sunshine was shining directly on the running boy. Even on such a high Shaking Light Peak, Qingya was still sweating profusely. His legs were as heavy as if they were filled with lead. Every time he took a step, his feet felt as if they were rooted in the ground. Every time he lifted his feet, it felt like he was draining all the strength from his body.
Then, as if a critical point had been passed, most of the fatigue on the body faded away in an instant, and was replaced by a kind of inertia, as if a clockwork was installed in the body. He could not control his body and just ran forward blindly. go.
This feeling did not last long. Then, the previous fatigue came to him again like a tide. Qingya staggered and almost fell to the ground. Gritting his teeth, Qingya opened his legs again and ran forward.
Sweat dripped down from his forehead and dangled on his eyelashes, but Qingya didn't reach out to wipe it. At this time, he really didn't have the strength to raise his hands to wipe the sweat. In addition, his hands were dripping with sweat and his clothes were soaked with sweat. Qingya could only shake his head vigorously, hoping to shake off the sweat on his head. .
Just when Qingya's vision was blurred by bitter sweat and his body was crumbling, Qingya felt someone pulling his sleeve from the side and supporting his leaning body from the front. Qingya then stopped. Stabilized his body.
A pure white silk scarf gently wiped away the sweat on Qingya's face. When he opened his eyes, he saw a woman wearing a green dress. She was holding a silk scarf in one hand and a hand holding a hand in the other. A cup cut from bamboo and filled with water.
"Young Master, one hour has come, please rest for a while." He said and handed the water glass to Qingya. The sound is like a clear spring flowing out of the valley, crisp and sweet.
"Thank you girl."
Qingya took the water glass and drank it one mouthful at a time. Although his mouth was dry at the moment, Qingya still resisted the desire to drink it all in one breath. Entering the Qingshui entrance, Qingya only felt that the water was sweet and cool, with a hint of bamboo fragrance.
Passing the water cup back, Qingya asked curiously: "The girl is a bamboo spirit? Can elves also talk?"
"It's just that the training time has been a little longer. Young master, please continue running after taking a short rest. I will leave here." After saying that, she disappeared into the forest with a full smile.
At noon, in front of the bamboo house in Yaoguang Peak, Qingya ran back with messy steps and trembling. After reaching the finish line, I fell to the ground with a splash, looking at the blue sky above my head, like a dehydrated fish, gasping for air, eagerly sucking in the fresh air.
Liu Bailu walked out of the bamboo house and came to Qingya. He looked down at the half-dead boy on the ground, then took out a green pill from his belt and stuffed it into Qingya's mouth.
"The body is a container that carries your cultivation. Now your body is like a stream. Even if you are given a sea, you can't hold it. So the first step is to make you strong. Just lie down when you are ready. Get up, is it cool on the ground?" Liu Bailu kicked Qingya, who was like a salted fish, with his right foot.
Qing Ya, who originally felt that his body had been completely hollowed out, suddenly felt that strength poured into his body like a stream of water. In a moment, his physical strength had returned to its original state. With a sudden movement, Qingya stood up, moved his hands and feet, and his face was filled with disbelief: Master, what is this? It has such a miraculous effect? "
"It's just an ordinary recovery pill, not worth mentioning."
Although she said it lightly, Qingya didn't know much about elixirs. But if others knew that a Huiyuan Pill, which was enough to restore a monk's whole body's energy, was used to restore strength to an ordinary person, they would definitely stomp their feet and scold them for extravagance and waste.
"Now stand here and let me kick you. And you are not allowed to dodge or resist. You must use your own body to kick you."
As soon as he heard this, Qing Ya was frightened and suddenly had a cold sweat on his face. He remembered the two kicks Liu Bailu had given him yesterday. If he had been kicked hard by her, he would probably be dead or disabled.
"Don't worry, you took the Huiyuan Pill. For a person of your level, it will protect you and not get hurt." Seeing the worry on Qingya's face, Liu Bailu expressed relief.
"Okay, Master, come on, I'm ready." Qingya took a horse stance, but his tone was extremely guilty. Then he heard a pop, and before he could react, he saw the ground moving away from him. I don't know when, Liu Bailu kicked out, Qingya didn't even see the opponent's move, he had already flown seven or eight feet away, then landed heavily on the ground, and rolled a few times before Stop your body shape.
But although he felt a lot of pain, it was only a pain in his flesh. There was not a single scratch on his body, not even a trace of his skin being scratched by the gravel on the ground. Qingya sighed in his heart: "This time Yuan Dan is really magical.
Liu Bailu waved to himself from where he was: "Don't just stand there stupidly, come back and eat quickly."
When he walked past her, he only heard Liu Bailu telling Qingya: "To add, I will kick you like this every day from now on. If you can complete it in two months, the training will be over perfectly. If not, , then we have no choice but to continue.”
Hearing this, Qing Ya couldn't help but feel weak. In the next two months, he would be kicked once a day. As a master, he must be addicted to kicking people.
