Chapter 228
The burning sensation in his abdomen was so intense that after just a few moments, Ni Yangzhou was sweating all over his forehead due to the pain. As soon as he was put on the couch, the young man could not help but curl up his body.
"do not move."
Yan Congzhi stretched out his hand to straighten the young man, and with one hand pressed Ni Yangzhou's arms to the top of his head, and with the other hand suspended above his abdomen, he guided: "Concentrate your mind and calm your breath, let the six concentrations flow, follow Guanyuan Juque, and let the true energy circulate in the acupuncture points in your body."
Operation? What acupoint?
Ni Yangzhou wanted to shiver in pain, but still tried his best to control the swaying of his body. He just followed his master's words to calm his mind and body, and carefully felt the burning true energy in his abdomen. He had never heard of any acupuncture points. Fortunately, Yan Congzhi remembered that his disciple was illiterate and knew little about body building, so he just pressed a few points, allowing the boy to follow the position and guide the true energy to walk slowly.
Dew Condensing Grass is the most common spiritual herb. It grows in places where spiritual energy gathers in the mortal world or in sects. However, whether there is sufficient spiritual energy directly affects the quality of the spiritual herb.
The best use of dew-condensing grass in the mortal world is to heal injuries and recuperate, and to nourish the body. However, Yuanjia's master, Zhenren Haoping, has dual spiritual roots of water and wood, and is the master of cultivating herbs in the sect. The spiritual herbs grown in the garden are extraordinary and beneficial to those who practice Taoism. However, it does not mean that mortals like Ni Yangzhou who have not yet entered the Tao can enjoy them.
Yuan Jia was originally a fairy grass that became a spirit. He entered the Dao and practiced Taoism. He had always followed his master to deal with flowers and plants. He had never left the mountain and entered the mortal world. How could he know these things? He just thought that there would be no problem with low-level spiritual herbs.
Fortunately, Yan Congzhi was nearby.
After the initial pain passed, the boy seemed to have entered a mysterious state. He was not aware of the outside world, his mind was clear, and it was as if his body had become a part of this world, with no distinction between himself and others.
He is the sun, the moon, the dust under the boots, the falling lotus dew, the ridge beast that has stood on the eaves for a thousand years, and the free wind that has swept for ten thousand years.
With the alternation of cold and heat, he seemed to have passed his life in a flash.
When Ni Yangzhou woke up from his dream, it was already dark outside the window.
The young man vaguely felt that he seemed different from before. Now he had sharp ears and eyes, a sharp mind, and his vision was as clear as water. All his fatigue disappeared, but his stomach was still empty.
Ni Yangzhou quietly turned over and peeked from the small couch at Yan Congzhi who was meditating on the cushion.
Before he could figure out how to start, the other party opened his eyes first:
"Is there any other discomfort?"
Ni Yangzhou shook his head, thinking that it was his own carelessness that caused this mess: "Thank you, Master, for saving me. I'm fine now."
Yan Congzhi looked at the young boy who looked young under the warm luminous beads without saying a word. He looked at him for a while before walking closer and touching his forehead with his hand.
Ni Yangzhou did not hide, but remained motionless until the cold hand covered his forehead.
"Qi Refining Level Five."
The young man was confused and didn't quite understand what Qi Refining meant. Yan Congzhi lowered his head and saw the young man's black and white eyes, which clearly showed that he didn't understand.
"Didn't you see the jade pendant?"
Ni Yangzhou quickly took out the green pendant that was hanging neatly from his clothes: "I have seen it, but... I don't know how to use it."
In a sense, the young man's understanding of the path of Taoism was like a blind man reading a book, he had no idea what to do; Yan Congzhi, a Taoist who grew up in a sect, was taciturn and had no social skills, so teaching his disciples could be like a mute complaining, and it was useless to say anything.
The profound words and phrases are not suitable for ordinary people to learn.
He is indeed not a good teacher.
At least not as good as his senior brother Guanmiao.
Yan Congzhi lowered his eyes to look at the jade pendant, reached out to pick it up, and placed it on the boy's forehead: "Close your eyes."
In an instant, the green jade emitted a soft light. Although Ni Yangzhou had his eyes closed, he could see it more clearly than with his eyes open.
There is a huge library in the Green Jade. He sits on the cushion in the middle and becomes the owner of thousands of Taoist scriptures.
Ni Yangzhou suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the man who lowered his eyes.
"master……"
Yan Congzhi thought that the other party was going to say words of gratitude again. In recent days, he had received more gratitude from the young man than he had heard in hundreds of years of cultivation, so he took the initiative to say:
"No need to thank, just practice diligently, don't be distracted by trivial matters, and achieve something sooner rather than later. That is the right path."
Ni Yangzhou's expression became embarrassed:
"No, Master...I can't read."
Yan Congzhi's expression froze for a moment, and after a moment he said, "Brother has set up a monastery at Langhui Peak to teach the sect's disciples. You can go there and attend classes tomorrow."
Ni Yangzhou matched the monastery with what Yuan Jia said. This thought reminded him of his fake uncle:
"Master, my nephew is Yuan Jia, he——"
"We've returned to Chilian Peak. Guan Mi and Hao Ping are both there."
Ni Yangzhou nodded, thinking that after so much time had passed, it was time for him to go back to find his master.
In fact, it was not the case. Yan Congzhi sent a message to call Haoping who was practicing over, and then grabbed Yuanjia's ear and took him away.
But there is no need to tell these to the apprentice.
"Remember how the Qi is circulated this time and practice diligently."
Yan Congzhi's eyes fell on the boy's cloth clothes and cloth shoes, and he realized belatedly that he had not fulfilled his responsibility as a master. He took out the clothes he wore when he was a child from his sleeve, and pinched out a token out of thin air and put it on the table:
"First, you can wear my old clothes, and then use this to get your disciple's clothes."
Yan Congzhi rarely did things wrong, and he had never experienced the feeling of others being affected by his "negligence". He stood by the bed and paused for a while before saying:
"If there is any inconvenience, please tell me directly."
Ni Yangzhou looked at his slightly embarrassed master and suddenly felt that the other party was not so otherworldly. Admiration was still admiration, and respect was still respect. At this moment, the young man suddenly felt that he was the other party's apprentice.
Ni Yangzhou smiled sincerely for the first time since his transformation, with his two small canine teeth looming: "Thank you, Master. I do have a favor to ask of you."
After hearing his disciple's words, Yan Congzhi's expression became more serious. He waited for his disciple to speak. Whether it was magic weapons or scriptures, or opportunities and spiritual herbs, he had a way to get them.
The young man looked at his master who had returned to his serious state, rubbed his belly and said:
"Master, I'm hungry and want to eat."
