son, stop

In the early spring of February, hundreds of flowers bloom in the suburbs of the capital, and the willow forest is even more full of spring.

Zuo Lingquan came to Qihuang Valley by car, and entered the door with the sign of the pill room. Without leading the way, he went directly to the bamboo forest behind Qihuang Valley.

I was busy in the city for a long time, and it was already evening when I came here. There were more people in Qihuang Valley. In the distance, many young men and women dressed in Qihuang Valley costumes could be seen walking up and down the grand round tower in the distance. Several people practice skills in the open space outside the building.

Zuo Lingquan came here once and knew that it was the collective dormitory of the disciples of Qihuang Valley. Wu Qingwan arranged a small courtyard for him. Deep in the bamboo forest.

The bamboo forest was quiet, and a few women's laughter could be vaguely heard. Zuo Lingquan walked between the paths and looked up to see that the lights were already lit in the house above the cliff.

He came to the foot of the stone cliff, and was just about to ask Senior Sister Xiaohua to report on his behalf, when Wu Qingwan, who was above, had already noticed it, stuck his head out from the cliff, and said:

"Ling Quan, come up."

Wu Qingwan was still wearing a long light green dress, but what was different from yesterday was that she had a weird smile in the corners of her eyes, and her eyes no longer had a sense of distance, as if the elders were looking at the younger ones who were closer.

Zuo Lingquan became the concubine, and naturally understood why Wu Qingwan looked at him in this way. After he nodded, he climbed from the winding stone ladder beside the waterfall to the platform on the cliff.

The platform is excavated from the cliff, and the scale is not large or small. There is no other building except a wooden house.

At this time, the sunset was sloping westward, and the bamboo forest at the bottom of the cliff was already dim, but half a round of red sun could still be seen above the cliff.

Zuo Lingquan stepped on Shiping, and saw Wu Qingwan sitting sideways on the stone platform by the cliff. The sitting posture was not formal, but she was not lazy. There was also a pot of clear tea and two bamboo cups by her side, together with the back The beautiful scenery of the mountains and rivers really has the feeling of being a fairy outside the world.

Zuo Lingquan has longed for a person in cultivation since he was a child. For this person who is the most powerful person he has ever seen so far, he naturally has respect in his heart.

"Senior Wu."

While speaking, he raised his eyes and glanced at Wu Qingwan.

When I came here yesterday, Zuo Lingquan just stood under the stone cliff and didn't look carefully from a long distance.

At this time, they were only three or five steps away from each other, and I could see the uncle in charge of the House of Phoenix Valley. His eyebrows were like willows, his eyes were like autumn water, and his bright red lips showed the grace and charm that a mature woman should have, but it was the most noticeable. The place is that its face is white like suet nephrite, its skin is as delicate as a baby, and it looks much 'cleaner' than ordinary people.

This 'cleanness' is not only an appearance, but clean to the core, without the slightest bit of dust all over the body, so that people feel that the rouge gouache used for embellishment has become a desecration of this pure vulgarity, smeared on this face will only be a flaw.

Zuo Lingquan was born in a wealthy family, so he has seen many beauties, but this is indeed the first time he has seen such a 'out of the world'.And what impressed him the most was that this Senior Wu

so big

Zuo Lingquan did not mean to be frivolous and blasphemous, but it was the same as if a man was too tall, standing in a crowd would definitely attract attention; Wu Qingwan was still wearing a slimmer skirt, sitting on the side, so that the clothes on the front of the clothes would be more attractive. The cloth buttons are stretched out with creases, and it is a little difficult to make people want to not pay attention.

Zuo Lingquan just glanced at him, he knew that he was a little rude, and quickly turned his unintentional gaze away.

Wu Qingwan also put her eyes on Zuo Lingquan, and when she saw him raising her eyes, she turned her eyes away, thinking that the little girl was shy, and couldn't help but smile.

Wu Qingwan has been staying in Xihuang Valley since she was six years old. She doesn't have so much market spirit, and she doesn't pay attention to these worldly courtesies. She raised her hand and patted it next to the stone platform:

"You are Jiang Yi's concubine, and you are your own family. You don't have to be so restrained, come and sit down."

Seeing this, Zuo Lingquan was not polite, and sat down beside the stone platform with a teapot between them.

"Senior Wu is really well-informed. It was only in the morning that the concubine was decided, and Senior Wu already knew about it."

"Jiang Yi and her mother are fellow villagers and sisters. Jiang Yi calls me Auntie, and she has been with me since she was six years old. How could I not know about such a big thing as recruiting a concubine. But I really didn't expect that Jiang Yi would Yi has chosen you to be her concubine so directly, have you already had a secret relationship before?"

After Wu Qingwan poured Zuo Lingquan a cup of tea, she looked at Zuo Lingquan curiously.

Zuo Lingquan shook his head: "I met once on the fifth night of the first day of the first year. At that time, I didn't know the identity of the princess, and I was reckless and offended the princess. Why the princess chose me as the concubine is actually unknown to the younger generation."

Wu Qingwan just pretended that Zuo Lingquan refused to talk about the love of these children, and said with a smile:

"You are very talented and like to practice. You are similar to Jiang Yi. It is not surprising that she chooses you. However, I am a little worried that she will not catch up with you. How far have you come?"

Zuo Lingquan was holding the teacup, thinking that Wu Qingwan was a little embarrassed when he asked where he and the eldest princess had come:

"Eh, I was just selected as a son-in-law, and I didn't do anything."

? ?

Wu Qingwan was slightly at a loss, but it took a moment to understand, her eyes showed a bit of annoyance, she frowned and said:

"What are you thinking? I'm asking how far you've reached in cultivation."

"Cultivation?"

Zuo Lingquan has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and he has practiced the fist-and-kick style. Most of his knowledge of cultivation comes from storytellers. Faced with this problem, he is naturally at a loss for words.He thought about it and said:

"I've been studying at home since I was a child, and I've never dabbled in cultivation, and I don't know where I've come. Senior Wu, can you explain one or two first?"

When Wu Qingwan heard this, her expression became puzzled. She obviously didn't understand how Zuo Lingquan didn't even know what cultivation was, and how he got to this point.

However, there is no shortage of geniuses in the world without a teacher. Wu Qingwan considered it for a moment, and then answered seriously:

"Human's Aperture, you should understand."

It is impossible for Zuo Lingquan to practice martial arts without understanding the acupuncture points of the human body. He nodded and said:

"Understand."

"People in the practice, to put it bluntly, are 'refining qi', which gathers the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and refines it into one's own true qi, so practice is also called 'cultivation'.

The first step in qi refining is to find a place in the body to store 'qi', which is what ordinary people call the Dantian Qi Sea. "

Wu Qingwan used to teach his disciples a lot. When she said this, she asked casually:

"Do you know where Qi Hai is?"

Zuo Lingquan took this naturally at his fingertips, raised his finger and pointed to his lower abdomen.

Wu Qingwan nodded in satisfaction and continued:

"Qihai acupoint is one of the 24 acupoints in the Ren Meridian. When the Qihai is opened up, it can be regarded as a preliminary stage of cultivation. As long as normal people are not stupid, they can complete this step at the age of nine."

Zuo Lingquan blinked and hesitated.

Wu Qingwan never thought that Zuo Lingquan didn't even touch the threshold, and thought that his cultivation was good. He didn't elaborate on these basic things, and continued:

"The initial Qi refining period of a practitioner is to get through the two meridians of Ren and Du. When the two meridians are connected, the body will gradually form a heavenly cycle on its own, until the eight meridians become perfect, the body is like a valley, and the aura of heaven and earth flows inward by itself. Flowing; so the monks after refining Qi are called 'Spiritual Valley Realm' monks."

Zuo Lingquan came over yesterday and heard from Wang Lin who was leading the way that there are five realms in practice: "Refining Qi, Linggu, Youhuang, Yujie, and Wangji". At this time, he nodded slightly and understood a little.

"However, practicing one way is going against the sky, which is easier said than done. If you want to form a circle in your body, you must first open up all the acupoints of the Ren and Du channels; the Ren channel has 24 points and the Du channel has 28, of which There are twelve places, which can easily become bottlenecks, divided into "Qihai, Shenque, Jiuwei, Atrium, Zigong, Xuanji" in the Ren channel, and "Xuanshu, Zhiyang, Lingtai, Shinto, and Feng" in the Du channel. Mansion, Shenting'."

Wu Qingwan said here, looking at Zuo Lingquan:

"These [-] levels, each time you pass the first level, the practitioner will become stronger, and when you reach the seventh level, your true qi will appear, which is the 'sword qi' that is said in the rivers and lakes.

Normal monks start to practice at the age of six. If they practice hard and go smoothly, they can pass a test in three years, which is considered a good talent; Jiang Yi belongs to the category with excellent talents. It's been nine years, but it's a pity that it has been delayed in recent years.You can beat Jiang Yi, and your cultivation has reached at least the sixth level of 'Xuanji', right? "

"Xuanji"

Zuo Lingquan listened in the fog and mist, and he was a little embarrassed to speak in the face of Wu Qingwan's expectant eyes.

Wu Qingwan waited for a while, seeing that Zuo Lingquan did not speak, her eyes showed surprise:

"Could it be that you have reached the seventh level of Qi refining?"

""

"Eighth level?"

""

"ninth?"

""

Wu Qingwan sat up straight for a while, a little unbelievable:

"I have practiced for more than 30 years, and I have only reached the [-]th stage of Qi refining, the 'Shenting'. Don't say that you are almost catching up with me!"

Zuo Zhe couldn't pretend anymore, he took a sip from his teacup, and smiled awkwardly:

"Well, I wanted to get started when I was six years old. My family specially invited an expert to touch my bones. They said that I was born with blocked meridians and unable to practice, so I don't know anything about it."
