Chapter 6: Reaching the top
Chu Jun sat cross-legged, hugged Yuan Shouyi according to the mantra of the exercises, his mind focused on the Yongquan point at the bottom of his feet, imagining that he was in an endless grassland, and the bright moon in the sky was covered with light.
After sitting for half an hour, Chu Jun didn't gain anything except that his legs were numb and his head was slightly swollen, so he couldn't help but open his eyes and smile bitterly: "Bullshit exercises, everything depends on imagination, sooner or later you have to become an idiot!"
Chu Jun pinched his numb legs and covered the quilt to sleep. Perhaps because of inertia, Chu Jun's mind was still focused on his right foot, and when he was drowsy, the spring point on the sole of his foot jumped, and then there was a sense of warmth. Chu Jun's drowsiness disappeared immediately, and he sat up excitedly and continued to guard the Yongquan acupoint.
Gradually, the warmth of the Yongquan Acupoint became more and more obvious, and Chu Jun tried to induce the warmth according to the method mentioned in the mantra, and the warmth really moved slowly along the mind. Chu Jun was overjoyed, it seemed that the exercises taught by the woman in the dream were true. Chu Jun, who was greatly encouraged, worked harder to attract warmth, and the warmth slowly moved along the meridians to the ankles, and then moved up to Zusanli below the knees, and then stopped moving, no matter how much Chu Jun urged, he couldn't move up a bit.
Chu Jun has a resolute and tenacious personality, and he also has a bullish temper that does not admit defeat, even if he drills the tip of the horns, he has to drill through the horns. Chu Jun caught up with the warmth, concentrating his mind and desperately urging it to rise. As the saying goes, if you want to hurry, you can't reach it, the more Chu Jun is like this, the more ineffective it is, and the warmth is iron-hearted, and thousands of cows can't pull it. Chu Jun's face became more and more pale, his brain was oozing with sweat, and both sides of his brain were swollen and painful, this was a phenomenon of excessive consumption of mental power, and if it was allowed to develop, it would leave the bane of headaches at best, and at worst it would become an idiot. Chu Jun didn't know what was going on, and he still kept urging the warmth to go up according to the exercises.
Suddenly, Chu Jun's eyebrows drilled a soft white light, transforming into a graceful figure. Standing in front of the bed, Guangying stared at Chu Jun, who was pale and his lips were blue, and sighed secretly: "What a stubborn guy, it's a pity, it seems that the human race is really not suitable for cultivating the exercises of this clan...... Huh!"
Chu Jun was feeling that his mind was about to explode, and he had no choice but to give up, but the warmth of Zusanli rushed up along the meridians in turn, and instantly crossed the kidney healing point and the big vertebral acupoint, and the entire Du vein on his back was all connected, reaching the Baihui acupoint on the top of his head.
Chu Jun only felt a buzz in his ears, like thunder and drumming, and his brain was empty, as if a skylight had been opened, and the soft moonlight spilled in from the skylight.
"This is the opening of the top!" Chu Jun was extremely surprised, this feeling was clearly what the woman of light and shadow in the dream said.
The light and shadow woman standing in front of the bed looked at the soft light above Chu Jun's head in surprise, and her heart turned upside down: "This kid actually rushed to the top in just one night!"
Rushing to the top is to open up the meridian path from the soles of the feet to the top of the head, communicate the heavens, the earth, the sun and the moon, and then absorb the essence of the moonlight to nourish the body, and refine the Yongquan acupoint where the divine power is stored in the feet. This Moonlight Technique is obviously different from the normal cultivation method, refining is not the aura, but the essence of the moonlight, and the way of storing it is also different.
After Chu Jun was excited, he followed the mantra to absorb the moonlight that came in little by little through the Baihui acupoint, and the slightest wisp of coolness went down the meridians, constantly nourishing the flesh and blood meridians along the way, and Zuihou entered the Yongquan acupoint on the right foot board. Chu Jun only felt that his right foot was immersed in the cool spring water, which was very comfortable.
When Chu Jun opened his eyes, the sky was already bright, and there was the chirping of morning birds outside. Chu Jun stretched his waist refreshedly, and found that the internal organs that were still a little painful were no longer painful, so he jumped out of bed and moved a few times, without the slightest discomfort. Chu Jun couldn't help but secretly rejoice, it seemed that his injuries were almost healed, it must be the result of the nourishment of those moonlight essences.
Chu Jun pushed open the small door of the wooden house and walked out, only to see that the surrounding trees were sprouting in rows, and on both sides of the wooden house were cultivated land, and short green seedlings had grown in the ground. Chu Jun couldn't help but smile bitterly, he was a dignified Snow Leopard special combat member, and he was going to become a farmer who cultivated the fields in the future.
"Chu Jun, why did you kid get out of bed?" Duan Li, who turned out from behind the tree, shouted from afar.
Chu Jun grinned: "Brother Duan, if you don't get out of bed and walk, you're going to get moldy!"
Duan Li didn't like others to say that he was old, so Chu Jun called him Brother Duan, in fact, Duan Li's age was not too old, he was in his early forties, but his face was mottled with wind and frost and it was hard to believe that he was only forty years old. If a person cultivates 100 acres of land for more than 20 years, I am afraid that under the wind and sun, he will become Duan Li's current dignity.
Duan Li walked closer and looked Chu Jun up and down for a while, then reached out and patted the latter's shoulder, and finally a chrysanthemum-like smile finally bloomed on his face: "Your kid is very skinny, and it's really good, then I can give an errand to Senior Brother Lin Ping!"
Chu Jun said sincerely: "Thank you Brother Duan for taking care of you during this time!"
Duan Li waved his hand and said, "Don't talk this kind of, besides, I received my salary, I want to thank you, Senior Brother Xie Linping!"
Chu Jun nodded, compared to Lin Ping, Chu Jun preferred to deal with Duan Li. Although Lin Ping is very peaceful and approachable, he does things steadily, and he does not have the pride of Ning Yun, a girl in red, who has no one in his eyes, but Chu Jun feels that this person is too leaky, and the city government is too deep, so he has to be a little careful when getting along with him.
"While I'm free today, I'll take you to Lingtian to have a look, and you can familiarize yourself with the environment by the way!" Duan Li said enthusiastically.
Chu Jun followed Duan Li to the Spirit Plant Hall first to receive a Ken Ling hoe and a pack of Spirit Millet seeds, the Spirit Millet seeds were provided for free, but the Ken Spirit Hoe cost ten Spirit Beans to buy. Chu Jun had already eaten one of the ten spirit beans he got from Lin Ping last night, but fortunately, Duan Li took out one to make up for him.
"Thank you, Brother Duan, I will pay you back in the future!" Chu Jun said.
Duan Li waved his hand: "It's a trivial matter, don't mention it again...... Well...... Now you don't have a single spirit bean on your body, you can take the ten spirit beans here for emergency first!"
Chu Jun was not polite, and simply took it and pretended to say, "I will pay you back in a few days!"
Duan Li pretended to wave his hand generously: "Don't worry about this, wait until you have enough money!"
Although Chu Jun is not very old, he is quite clever, and the slight pain in his eyes when Duan Li pours the spirit bean still allows him to catch it. It can be seen that Duan Li is not a generous person, there are only two reasons why this kind of person pretends to be generous, one is to have a good face, and the other is to get a greater return. Duan Li obviously belonged to the latter, because Chu Jun was brought back by Lin Ping, and he directly became an outer disciple, so Duan Li thought that the relationship between Chu Jun and Lin Ping was not ordinary. Lin Ping is the best among the inner disciples, and usually the outer disciples see the ordinary disciples of the inner door as Buddhas, not to mention the core disciples of the inner gate like Lin Ping. Therefore, Duan Li, a notoriously stingy guy, was generous to Chu Jun.
Duan Li led Chu Jun to a vacant land of about ten acres and stopped, and said with a smile: "This land will be your responsibility in the future, as long as you hand over two thousand catties of spiritual millet per mu, the rest is yours!"
"How much spirit millet can be produced in one mu?" Chu Jun asked curiously.
Duan Li said with a smile: "It depends on your planting level and the quality of the year, if the year is average, the yield per mu is two thousand three or four hundred catties, and the good year may reach three thousand catties!"
Chu Jun calculated, if the year is average, one mu can intercept three hundred catties of spirit millet, that is, thirty spirit beans, ten acres will earn three hundred grains, and two crops a year will net six hundred spirit beans, compared to risking their lives to go out of the city to hunt spirit beasts, it is really much more generous, no wonder so many people are vying to become the outer disciples of Zhengtianmen.
"Brother Duan, you are in charge of one hundred acres of spiritual land, even if the year is not good, there will be an income of six thousand spirit beans a year!" Chu Jun exclaimed.
Duan Li smiled, the wrinkles on his face bloomed, and he shook his head and said: "Actually, it's not as much as you think, Lingsu has to be handed over to a special person to make Lingdou, which has to deduct a 10% processing fee, if there is a pest or disease, you have to spend a sum of money to ask someone to treat the disease, it is good to have five achievements left, and it is even more useless when the year is too bad!"
Duan Li's weather-mottled old face showed a sad look, as if he remembered a certain year when there was no harvest, and suddenly smiled and said: "Today should be a good year, after the harvest, I will have enough spirit beans to give my son a dowry!"
Chu Jun was stunned for a moment, and sighed secretly: "Sure enough, it's the heart of the parents in the world!"
Duan Li took the spirit hoe and demonstrated it to Chu Jun a few times, and said: "The spirit hoe can stimulate the aura of the soil in the spirit field, so that the spirit millet grows more vigorously, the spirit field turns the soil and basks for a few days, so that the soil can absorb enough sunlight and moisture before sowing, if the conditions permit, you can put some spirit worms in the spirit field...... Also, the Kenling hoe can't be used too hard, otherwise it will be easy to break ......!"
Chu Jun listened to Duan Li's endless talk, silently jotted down various precautions and essentials, and asked a few words from time to time.
"Duan Laokeng, his own level is very limited, and he still teaches others!" a mocking voice sounded behind him.
Chu Jun turned around to look, only to see three big men with bare chests and backs walking over angrily, staring at him with very unfriendly eyes.
Duan Li glanced at Chu Jun, signaled him not to make a sound, and said with a smile on his face at the three big men: "Brother Niu is smiling, my half bucket of water in my hand can naturally only teach some fur!"
The big man at the head glanced at Chu Jun contemptuously, and asked with a big grin, "New here?"
Duan Li hurriedly said: "It's Lin ......!"
"Shut up, Brother Niu didn't ask you!" shouted the big man on the left.
Chu Jun didn't have to think about it to know that these three guys were the head snakes among the outer disciples, so he nodded without humility or arrogance: "My name is Chu Jun, the newcomer, the three senior brothers will take care of me in the future!"
The three big men hahadaxiao, the leader patted Chu Jun's shoulder and said, "Chu Jun...... Well, our brother will definitely take good care of you in the future!"
Hearing this, the other two big men daxiao with bad intentions: "Boy, do a good job, Brother Niu is optimistic about you!"
