Chapter 2 Buddhist Youth
At the beginning, whenever he couldn't stand it and wanted to give up, Xuan Yuanhao would ask himself three questions.
Xuan Yuanhao, don’t you want to make a name for yourself?
Xuan Yuanhao, don’t you want to find out the mystery of your life experience?
Xuan Yuanhao, don’t you want to pursue the peak of martial arts to explore the eternal way?
Later, he developed a habit. Every night before practicing, he asked himself three questions, firmly firm his beliefs, and then went to bed after practicing for two hours without any impact.
The moonlight tonight was particularly bright, and the moonlight seemed to be wearing a silver-white coat on Xuan Yuanhao's strong body.
Xuan Yuanhao practiced the most common practice technique in the Yunwu County and State body tempering stage, "The Five Elements Body Tempering Strategy".
According to the division of Tianwu County and the martial arts, body quenching is divided into four major realms: tendon refining, bone forging, marrow cleaning, and foundation building.
Xuan Yuanhao meditated on the bluestone, his eyes closed slightly, his qi sinks into his dantian, and he emptys all the distracting thoughts in his mind. His hands overlap and placed them on his abdomen. He sets up his momentum according to the Dharma technique and practices the Five Elements Body Tempering Technique.
During the practice, the essence of the moon soul and the spiritual energy around the bluestone quietly entered various parts of Xuan Yuanhao's body in an invisible way. Finally, all the sources of the world returned to the ancestral clan and merged into a certain part of the dantian.
There seemed to be a slight movement in the dantian, causing some changes in the essence of the moon soul and the surrounding spiritual power, but Xuan Yuanhao was completely unaware of this.
After completing the practice in two hours, Xuan Yuanhao checked his body and dantian, silently used his spiritual power, and found that there was still no trace of spiritual power in his body.
Xuan Yuanhao could only smile helplessly and go into the house to fall asleep.
It’s not that he doesn’t care at all, he can only get used to it. For three years, Xuan Yuanhao has gone through this process every night.
But Xuan Yuanhao firmly believes that there is no reason why I can't do what others can do; I can definitely do what others can't do through double my efforts.
Since you cannot change the reality, instead of complaining about others, it is better to try to change your mindset, do your own things well, and manage your heart well. Life is without perfection, and twists and turns are also scenery.
Although the progress of martial arts is slow and the spiritual power cultivation has not yet progressed, the more the muscles and bones of the body become stronger and stronger during the practice day after day, year after year; the skin becomes more shiny and brighter, and the whole body exudes a kind of perseverance and calmness. The physical condition, reaction ability, and understanding ability are far superior to those of warriors at the same stage.
Before dawn the next day, Xuan Yuanhao rushed over and climbed to the Qilong Mountain without any obstacles and shouted, soaking in the cold pond.
In the cold pool, Xuan Yuanhao walked step by step towards the deep water area. The more he walked towards the deep water area, the colder the water in the pool became.
Xuan Yuanhao stopped when he was soaked in water to his chest. This was the limit water level he could withstand at present.
Xuan Yuanhao stood still, his legs floated in the water in the way of meditation to start practicing. Many spiritual energy contained in the cold pond water poured into his body, circulated around through the meridians, and finally flowed into the dantian.
There seemed to be another strange movement in the chaotic dantian, and golden light appeared and faintly, causing the ripples of the cold pond water to change slightly. A faint force emanated from the dantian, interacting with the spiritual energy contained in the cold pond water. The spiritual energy in the cold pond water surged into Xuan Yuanhao's body in a thicker state.
Of course, Xuan Yuanhao was in a state of meditation and meditation at this time, and had no sense of this.
After the practice of Hantan was over, Xuan Yuanhao suddenly felt something swimming around his body.
Xuan Yuanhao closed his breath and sank into the bottom of the water, opened his eyes, stared in front of him, and found that there were a few strange fish swimming not far away with thin heads, thick bodies, long tails, and snow-white bodies.
Xuan Yuanhao felt joy in his heart. You must know that the cold pond water is as cold as ice all year round. In the past three years, he has never discovered any living creature.
The white fish seemed a little intelligent. When Xuan Yuanhao was staring at him, he swam straight to Xuan Yuanhao and played. When Xuan Yuanhao quickly reached out to catch the white fish, the white fish swam away quickly, repeating this.
From then on, Xuan Yuanhao's cold pond practiced has another way and fun.
After breakfast, Xuan Yuanhao set out to Danfang and saw Xiaopang and a few young and old men gathered on an open space to practice boxing. He was also chanting the "Magic Taoist Ballad" known to all ages: "The path of martial arts is endless, and the ambition of the road must be strong. It is actually easy to refine muscles and bones, and it is not difficult to cleanse marrow and build foundations. There are thousands of difficulties and dangers to connect with golden elixirs, and escape from the world and the world is wide..."
"Xiao Pang, you have started practicing again. You are so diligent."
"Uncle Zhang, you are so well equipped, where are you going to hunt?"
"Aunt Zhao, you are back from buying vegetables."
"Sister Wang, I went to the market to set up a stall to sell tofu so early."
...
Xuan Yuanhao smiled and greeted every neighbor he met enthusiastically.
Looking at Xuan Yuanhao's background gradually moving away, Uncle Zhang and several hunters who were traveling with him said, "Xiao Hao is really a good person, but unfortunately he has poor talent for cultivation. However, he is happy all day long and does not worry about not being able to practice. This kind of character of being free from desires and desires, taking everything lightly, not giving up on oneself, and self-exiled is really a Buddhist boy!"
"But do you think that Xiao Hao seems a little different today than usual, and I can't say it. It always makes people feel very special. While feeling friendly, it seems to have a little more majesty."
"We also feel this way," several other hunters responded, and then they continued to rush forward.
When he arrived at the Danfang, he read a few alchemy books as usual. Master Wei Dansheng walked in, glanced at Xuan Yuanhao, took a few steps, and then turned around and stared at Xuan Yuanhao for a while.
"Master, is there anything wrong with me?" Xuan Yuanhao was a little puzzled about the master's abnormal behavior today.
"There's nothing wrong, I just think the aura you reveal today is a bit different."
"Have you cultivated spiritual power?" The master asked again with joy.
"No, Master, although I am working hard every day, I still fail to cultivate spiritual power." Xuan Yuanhao replied to the master truthfully, but he was not depressed.
"Without cultivating spiritual power, why does the temperament emitted from the whole body feel a little different from before?" The master murmured to himself and walked into the alchemy room.
In the afternoon, the day after work, the master asked Xuan Yuanhao to send a few bottles of elixirs to the Xu family.
The Xu family is a big family in Jiangshan Town and a family that Xu Uncle relies on parasitics. The patriarch Xu Haitian has reached the ninth level of foundation building, and is only one step away from forming pills. He has entered a new realm of martial arts and is quite prestigious in Jiangshan Town.
However, this last kick also shackled Xu Hai for five years.
Xu Ziqin, the third lady in the clan, is only 15 years old, but she has excellent martial arts talent. She has practiced to the third level of the Marrow Cleansing Realm. She is born with a wise eye. It is said that she has been attracted by a certain sect. After the three-year Jiangshan Town Competition is over, no matter what the result is, she will be selected to practice in the sect.
He sent the elixir to an inner escort in the Xu family, and Xuan Yuanhao went home directly.
"Manager Xu, who was the boy who gave the elixir just now?" Xu Ziqin, a third lady from Xu family, saw Xuan Yuanhao and Manager Xu hand over the elixir on the floor. Her behavior and conversation were good, and her temperament was even more unsightly. So she inquired about Manager Xu.
"Miss Three, this person is the adopted son of an outer manager in our family. He is now an apprentice of Yicun Danxin Dan Pharmacy. He came to deliver elixirs, named Xuan Yuanhao. This person is good at dealing with people and has a good heart. Unfortunately, his talent is poor. He has not yet cultivated spiritual power and cannot truly enter the martial arts path."
Xu Ziqin frowned in confusion and said, "Have you cultivated spiritual power? Manager Xu, I think this person is extraordinary and is also a member of my Xu family. I will try to be polite to this person in the future, try to make friends with him as much as possible but not be deliberate. Let me tell me the latest news about him in the future."
Seeing the lady leaving, Manager Xu was a little puzzled. He had always been focused and obsessed with cultivation. He was not very concerned about external things and even family things. How did the third lady pay attention to an inconspicuous little character like Xuan Yuanhao today?
When Xuan Yuanhao returned home, Uncle Xu also stared at Xuan Yuanhao and asked about the progress of Xuan Yuanhao's martial arts.
Xuan Yuanhao answered truthfully again and told Uncle Xu that the master had asked similar questions today.
Uncle Xu was overjoyed, "The feeling of your master and I should not be wrong. Although your spiritual power has not yet been formed, the feeling that comes from your body should be a sign of a substantial breakthrough."
"Today we have a drink, I wish you success as soon as possible, Xiaohao."
The simple hut is filled with wine, and the wine is filled with warmth.
After dinner, Xuan Yuanhao went to the open bluestone in front of the house to meditate, meditate, and practice. In the dantian, golden light gradually became a tendency to gather into groups and connect into pieces.
Before going to bed, Xuan Yuanhao reads notes and novels for half an hour and various travel notes. These books were borrowed from the inner door of the Xu family through connections or bought from a book stall for money. Through extensive reading, Xuan Yuanhao's knowledge, vision and mind were enriched.
The next morning, Xuan Yuanhao rushed to Hantan to practice again. He wanted to know whether he could catch a quick little white fish with his reaction speed and ability.
At the beginning, Xuan Yuanhao stood in the water, his hands slightly spreading under the water, wanting to wait for the little white fish to fall into the trap, but the result can be imagined, and the bamboo basket was empty.
Then, Xuan Yuanhao sank into the water, held his breath, slowly approached the fish, and then reached out to catch it, but it still failed.
Countless attempts, countless failures...
Finally, Xuan Yuanhao had a sudden idea and imagined himself as a little white fish. He relaxed his body and mind, merged into the water like a fish, released his mind and rippled with the waves.
Sure enough, after a little hesitation, the little white fish approached Xuan Yuanhao in groups, as if there was something that attracted the little white fish on him.
The little white fish swam around Xuan Yuanhao, as if trying hard and even greedily absorbing something.
Xuan Yuanhao took a quick move and successfully caught a little white fish.
After getting ashore, the tender fish aroused the greed in Xuan Yuanhao's belly. He decided to use the ingredients locally and set up a simple barbecue grill to prepare to grill the little white fish. He also muttered the words: The sand gulls flew in front of Guilong Mountain, and the white fish flowing in the cold pond were fat. He salivated and never felt the food was like a beautiful woman.
Little white fish, Little white fish, if you can enter my internal organs, you will be considered a great birth and a glorious death.
Xuan Yuanhao found a few herbs, extracted the medicine, and prepared to apply it on the white fish to increase the deliciousness of the fish.
During the barbecue, while the white fish had not yet been cooked, Xuan Yuanhao seized the time to practice for a while.
When the practice was over and about to have a feast, Xuan Yuanhao found that there was nothing on the barbecue rack, and there were some fish bones scattered beside the rack. Next to the bones, an amiable and majestic old man was feasting with the last fish head.
