Chapter 3: Coming down from the mountain for the first time and going to Jinzhou

The qi and blood manifested like thin threads, crystal clear red. Extremely reserved, he never felt the heat of Qi and blood. It was also very agile, like a small snake, circling back and forth on top of Zhao Yu's head nine times before disappearing again into the top of his head.

Then Zhao Yu was shocked slightly, slowly opened his eyes, and a bolt of lightning burst out of his eyes!

That was clearly the real electric light, not the 'fine light' as the saying goes.

"This is the real virtual room to generate electricity!"

Old Taoist Qingyun couldn't help but blurt out.

"Master, I succeeded!"

Zhao Yu also shouted, with excitement on his face, and said: "Master, I have opened up a way forward!"

Old Taoist Qingyun nodded solemnly and was very excited: "Unprecedented, unprecedented! I didn't expect that I, an old man who is about to die, can still see such a feat!"

This is truly a feat.

In an era when firearms are on the rise and personal force is becoming increasingly unimportant, it is truly amazing to open up a way forward. Such a feat!

Then the master and the disciple started discussing in detail by the candlelight.

He also took out a pen and paper and took notes while talking.

Zhao Yu marked the positions of the acupuncture points that he had reflected on during meditation for the past year on the human body diagram he drew on the paper. He also recounted his insights one by one when he opened the acupuncture points.

"Since we were able to clearly reflect the locations of the acupuncture points a year ago, we have found thirty-six locations so far." Zhao Yu said enthusiastically: "But according to my guess, there must be more than just these thirty-six locations, and there are also There are more hidden and deeper holes, waiting for me to discover!”

Then he said: "Master, you know, since I have perfected the Ice Muscle and Jade Bone Kung Fu, as I grow older, my muscles and bones have become stronger and stronger, and my strength is close to a thousand pieces, a real thousand pieces. But after I opened my mind just now, His physique has suddenly risen to a new level, and his energy and blood have condensed into a thin line. Both quality and quantity are far higher than before. The brute force alone has increased by at least 30%."

"It's really amazing." Master Qingyun sighed repeatedly: "I see your height has increased a bit."

"Really?" He didn't notice this. Zhao Yu lowered his head and looked at it, and sure enough he saw that the clothes seemed to be a little shorter: "I didn't expect that I could grow taller!"

Then he added: "Previously, I thought that the qi and blood in my body had reached its peak, and there was no other way to increase it except a slight increase with age. But as the heart orifice opened up, the qi and blood condensed into a line, and there was room for increase. "

Then he heard his stomach growling, and saw Zhao Yu touching his forehead: "I'm afraid my appetite will increase dramatically again."

The old Taoist priest laughed: "This is a good thing!"

He said: "Then stay a few more days. Only in this mountain can we have enough food to nourish ourselves."

Zhao Yu nodded.

Indeed, there is war and chaos outside the mountains now, and people are dying of hunger everywhere. Where can they find food? Just after the breakthrough, when the food intake increases greatly, if you don't eat enough, it will hinder your cultivation and make you feel uncomfortable.

After uncovering this, the old Taoist priest asked: "The benefits of opening the acupoint are really great. It must be very difficult."

Zhao Yu said: "Yes, Master. First of all, it is required to train the muscles, bones, organs, and qi and blood to the point where there is no way to advance. To open acupuncture points, it is to use qi and blood to attack and open them. If the qi and blood are insufficient and the acupoints cannot be opened, then There will be backlash. I am afraid that the qi and blood will be in chaos, and at the least it will lead to madness, and in the worst case the qi and blood will wither and die."

Old Taoist Qingyun couldn't help but nodded in agreement.

When Zhao Yu broke through just now, all his energy and blood were drained out, and he looked haggard. If it fails, the consequences can be imagined.

"In addition, you must be able to sense the approximate location of the acupoints." Zhao Yu pointed to the human body diagram on the paper and said: "The acupoints opened are not medical acupoints, they are quite different. However, With this picture, it can also serve as a guide. Although the specific location of each person's acupuncture point varies from person to person, it should probably be the same. As long as you can find the approximate location and explore carefully for a period of time, You should be able to sense it."

"With these two conditions, 99% of people who practice kung fu in the world will be stopped."

Old Taoist Qingyun shook his head: "Only the first level, training the Qi and blood to the point where the acupuncture points are opened, is not something ordinary people can do. Muscles, bones, skin, flesh, and internal organs need to be trained to their peak. It will take hundreds of years to produce a Those with this level of talent are already the greatest blessings. Those with this level of talent must have enough food supplements. Those who are poor in culture, rich in martial arts, have no financial resources, and cannot afford food will have no choice but to live in vain."

"If you fail this level, even if you sense the acupoints, you can only sigh in despair. Who dares to be reckless, the consequences can be imagined."

Speaking of this, Old Taoist Qingyun couldn't help but sigh: "Forty years ago, I would have thought about trying to become a teacher. Now that I am old and weak, and my energy and blood have declined, I no longer dare to hope."

After saying that, he rolled up the atlas, shook his head and said with a smile, "I don't know when I can use this atlas."

Then he stood up and said: "You opened the acupuncture point, which consumes a lot of energy and blood. Go and stew a pot of meat yourself."

Zhao Yu knew that Master was going to have evening classes, so he didn't dare to disturb him. After leaving the Taoist temple, he went straight to the backyard kitchen, lit a fire, and pulled out a large piece of twenty or thirty kilograms of venison from the cool spring at the back. Wash it once, cut it into pieces with a few knives, throw it whole into a clay pot, mix it with water, add salt, and boil it directly.

I originally planned to go down the mountain directly, but the opening of the acupoint was delayed again. So he stayed in the temple for another seven or eight days, turning into a rice pail every day, eating hard and replenishing hard, until his energy and blood were full and stable, and then he was ready to go down the mountain.

Early that morning, when the sky was bright, Zhao Yu got up.

I planned to leave quietly, but as soon as I arrived at the front yard with my baggage on my back, I saw a weathered figure standing by the gate.

"Master..."

At this moment, Zhao Yu's heart was almost shaken.

The master is already old, but he cannot be with him. How unfilial is this? !

But then he thought of his parents' hatred and that bloody day ten years ago, and the hatred in his heart immediately suppressed his weakness. Zhao Yu gritted his teeth, stepped forward, knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Master, when my disciple comes back after taking revenge, I will definitely honor you!"

Old Taoist Qingyun sighed and helped Zhao Yu up, gently wiped away the dirt on his knees, stuffed a small bundle into his arms, and said seriously: "Pay attention to safety. Also, the outside is not as good as in the mountains, the people are Please remember that the past is complicated and full of intrigues. If you encounter someone you can't stand, bear with it if you can. If you can't bear it and take action, then you must do it right and don't leave any future troubles."

This is the experience of the veteran Taoist priest You Fang for many years.

He added: "Remember to bring money. If you want anything in the mountains, go directly to fight or collect it. But outside the mountains, you need money to buy everything. You are not a bandit or a thief. You can't steal or rob. Do you understand?"

"Master!"

Facing the master's earnest instructions, Zhao Yu felt extremely uncomfortable. But he is decisive. Since I have long been determined to take revenge, I will never give up halfway.

But he also secretly vowed in his heart that when he comes back with revenge, he will accompany his master every day!

"Just go."

The old Taoist priest shook his broad sleeves and his eyes were slightly red. He turned away and said, "Don't worry about me, Master. Although Master is old, he can still move and will not die of hunger."

"Um!"

Zhao Yu walked out of the door with great difficulty and paused: "Master, take care!"

Then he took a big step, one step at a time, and disappeared on the forest path in a few breaths.

The old Taoist priest looked through the gray sky and stood until the sun came out, then walked into the Taoist temple with his rickets. In an instant, it was as if he had aged ten years.

...

After all, Zhao Yu was young. Although he matured prematurely due to various reasons, and his master taught him the experience of traveling in the world, it was not his own experience after all.

After ten years in the mountains, besides revenge, I also have some yearning for the world outside the mountains.

Emotions in young people's hearts come and go quickly. But he suppressed his guilt for his master deep in his heart and did not dare to forget it. His blood gradually boiled as he stepped forward.

"Tatar, here I come!"

When we passed the small village at the foot of the mountain, no villagers had gotten up yet. At this moment, the sky is bright and clear. He walked quietly through the village, followed a hidden path, and headed straight out of the mountain.

For the past ten years, Zhao Yu has basically lived in a Taoist temple. At most, they can roam around in the mountains while hunting and cooking. Even in this small village at the foot of the mountain, the villagers rarely interact with each other.

Those villagers only knew that there was a little Taoist boy in the Taoist temple.

In fact, Zhao Yu has very little life experience. When facing the master, I can talk endlessly, but when facing strangers, I don’t know what to say.

Even the villagers in this village only nodded when they met him occasionally.

Therefore, Zhao Yu was a little lucky when passing by the village. Because there is no need to deal with unfamiliar faces. But he also knew that after leaving the mountain, he would have to deal with strangers.

As you walk here, just simulate it in your mind.

"My lord, Zhao Yu, come out of the mountain... OK, OK."

"My dear Zhao Yu, people from Jinzhou... are not good either."

"How should I talk to people if I have to deal with them?"

"How about...wait for others to speak first, and then I'll answer. Yes, that's it!"

Zhao Yu punched the palm of his hand, and with a calculation in his mind, his steps became faster and faster, one step was two feet long. It doesn't look fast or slow, but it's actually faster than a galloping horse.

By the time the sun rose three poles high, we had already walked out of Yiwulu Mountain and entered the big world outside.

At the edge of a small forest, Zhao Yu walked out of the forest. A dilapidated loess road kept coming out and going out, but he didn't know where it led.

But Zhao Yu had already made plans in his heart. He wanted to go home and have a look!

That home that has long since been destroyed!

Jinzhou is just southeast of Yiwulu Mountain. It's only about a hundred miles away. He had already asked his master how to go and knew it by heart. Just follow the first loess road you encounter after coming out of the mountain, walk all the way southeast, and you will arrive after passing a few counties.
