Chapter 4 Silent Guard
Sweat like rain in the long run of 30,000 meters
Sitting alone for an hour is like a mountain
Martial arts practice to nourish the hearts of warriors
The university and the affiliated high school are actually one, and the area is really very large. It can be said that if college students who have lived for three or four years do not consciously explore, they may not have run over every place. Moreover, there are many forests for decades. This is the benefit of a school with history. Compared with some famous national schools, it is not inferior in the environment, and even surpasses it!
Therefore, Liu Deyi often walked into a relatively remote forest and practiced martial arts there. However, there was no airtight wall in the world. Zhang Min first learned about this. She asked her to follow her and have a look. This made it a special laugh for a few college students who practice martial arts!
"Junior brother, junior brother, you are still in high school now. You already have a girlfriend, which really makes us ashamed!"
However, the children nowadays are indeed amazing. Zhang Min was not shy when she heard this. Instead, she went up to take Liu Deyi's hand and looked at everyone with a smile!
In fact, Liu Deyi also found it very strange because she practiced martial arts in the afternoon. After practicing the two routines, she usually practiced for an hour. It should be said that it was boring for her to wait there, but since she found out, she has basically come to see him practice martial arts every day, and she doesn’t feel depressed!
In fact, Zhang Min always felt that boys should have masculinity. In the past, eating and laughing with Liu Deyi was just a common friend. However, she found that after Liu Deyi started to exercise and practice martial arts, the masculinity on his body became increasingly revealed. Maybe he didn't notice it himself, but she obviously felt his changes. After a month and a half of training, his height seemed to have increased by one centimeter, and his muscles were no longer soft, but full of elasticity and vitality. His hair was black and shiny, and the originally plain and even weak aura had been swept away. A youthful and vigorous atmosphere that could be called heroic was faintly emerging!
Especially when he was practicing martial arts, he was really fist-like and was full of energy. Every time he saw him like this, Zhang Min found that his face turned red without realizing it.
In other words, he is now becoming more and more in line with her image.
After the second set of martial arts routines were completed, Zhang Min went up to get a towel for him. Liu Deyi nodded and wiped his sweat. After the initial hard work, he found that he had fallen in love with such exercises now. If he hadn't exercise for a day, he would feel uncomfortable all over!
The power of habit is so great! He thought about this, and then smiled and said to Zhang Min: "Let's go back, it's already past five-thirty!"
"Okay, but I'm going to go to the supermarket to buy something!"
"Okay, I'll go with you!" Liu Deyi said: "Buy some vegetables at will!"
Due to high-intensity physical exercise, not only do you need to use medicinal food in your daily life, but also add a lot of meat dishes when eating. There are always fish, meat and so on in each meal, which can supplement the body's nutritional needs. Moreover, his appetite has increased significantly recently, and the amount of food he eats has almost doubled!
Liu Deyi once asked if he wanted to eat vegetarian food. Yu Zhiling said disdainfully: "With your current exercise intensity, if you want to be malnourished, then eat vegetarian food. People eat meat and vegetables at the same time. If you eat vegetarian food alone, how can you provide the needs of your body? You don't care about anything now, eat more meat and supplement nutrition, because the most basic vitality comes from here, and eating vegetarian food does not have such effects!"
Although the expenses on food have more than doubled, Liu Deyi has unknowingly eliminated the social expenses that normal teenagers should have for normal classmates. So after settlement, the overall expenses have not increased much! The family will give 1,500 yuan of living expenses every month, which is enough!
"Okay, let's go together, well, let's do my homework with you today!" Zhang Min said. She had already seen the supermarket. In fact, she is still a good student. Her grades are generally in the top ten in the grade. Compared to Liu Deyi's medium to upper level, it has been much better!
"Then are you having dinner at my house today?"
"Eat? Then forget it, I'll eat at my own house! But after the meal, I'll come over again."
"Okay, that's it, I'll keep the door open!"
After buying vegetables, the two went upstairs and happened to see Zhang Min's mother. Liu Deyi greeted her: "Auntie, hello, are you taking out the trash?"
"Yes, are you back from buying groceries?"
"Yes, auntie, then I'll go in!" Liu Deyi nodded. In fact, Zhang Min's family and his family are opposite the same corridor, and they can be said to be very close neighbors. Moreover, as long as Zhang Min is in his house, his door will never be locked, so as not to worry about Zhang's father and mother!
But to be honest, Zhang’s father and mother did not deal with the issue of their daughter’s premature love as in the novel. In fact, there was only one last warning to Zhang Min, and he ignored the others. He was very open-minded, but Zhang Min would definitely go back before 9:30!
However, this was of course because after her parents' long observation, she found that the boy was very honest and would not cheat casually, so she was more at ease. Otherwise, it would be difficult to say.
When I returned to the house, the first thing I did was to take a shower. The weather was hot. Although practicing martial arts was in the shade of woods, I was still sweating all over my head!
"Yes, now your body has improved rapidly, and your physical strength has increased by about 40%!" Yu Zhiling spoke: "Your nerves and muscles have also developed greatly. It is expected that you can continue to develop at a peak in the next month and a half, but then you will reach a certain limit!"
“In other words, there will be one and a half months for such a course?”
"It's almost that's it. You already feel the energy in your abdomen is warm now, right?"
"Yes, but not very obvious!"
"In fact, if you do physical exercises, you will reduce your mental sensitivity to a certain extent. In other words, physical exercises and martial arts exercises will increase the physical strength and reduce the sensitivity of internal energy. In addition, a large amount of vital energy is used to improve your body, so you will delay the feeling of internal energy a little bit!" Yu Zhiling pointed out: "However, a little sensation of qi is actually not very important at all! Feeling internal energy too early is usually just an illusion, but those so-called cultivators, when they feel it, will constantly toss this pitiful internal energy, use all the obstacles, movements, and all the cycles, but they do not know that small trees cannot shake their roots and seedlings cannot help grow. The best way at this time is to hide the dragon in the abyss! Hard work is a harvest, and even if they cannot feel it, it does not mean that it does not exist! Instead of considering this pitiful internal energy, it is better to consider how to determine the long-term foundation!"
"I understand, don't worry, I won't slackew!"
"Well, in fact, based on your current situation, whatever understanding and what skills are, you just need to exercise honestly and accumulate vitality. Moreover, your spirit has made progress in such training!" The Jade Spiritual House implied: "For example, if you are not afraid of seeing hooligans now, you can't see that shrinking and vulgar look when talking to people!"
"You said I was mean in the past?"
"Hmph, although it is not very obvious, your original appearance of death seems plain, but in fact it is despicable! The real dullness is based on strength. The so-called ordinary without strength is despicable. It makes people know at a glance that this person is petty and will not have a future!" Yu Zhiling said bluntly: "You haven't noticed it yourself, but if you haven't seen you for a long time, you will feel that you have changed a lot at first sight. Strength is indeed the basis of self-confidence!"
That's what it is intended!
In fact, it is not very necessary to exercise the body and practice martial arts, because it can directly give him spiritual energy to carry out the next step of practice. However, the improvement of the spiritual quality generated by martial arts training is the most critical - the heart of not being afraid of power, the heart of not compromising difficulties, the heart of affirming one's will, and even the heart of controlling oneself and the world. These things are precious qualities that those who achieve great things must have. For the practice of Taoism, this is the most important thing. Cultivating immortals and becoming a Buddha is what a real man does. Without such a spirit, it is impossible to achieve something!
After taking a shower and changing into clothes, Zhang Min came soon. He could only wear formal clothes, at least he could not walk at home with his upper body naked and shorts. Then he went to the kitchen and quickly cleaned the fish and meat, and started to perform "braised carp", "shredded pork eggs and tomato soup", and "braised pork ribs".
He only makes these a few every day. After all, cooking complicated things is too wasteful for one, and he is not very familiar with the two. However, he has made these home-cooked dishes very delicious - after all, practice makes perfect!
After all these dishes were served on the table and the oil smoke was sucked in, he wiped his sweat and turned on the air conditioner. The electricity bill in the city is relatively high, and the air conditioner overnight is also very expensive! If you don’t pay attention to it, it will be quite impressive after a month!
"Oh, it smells so good!" At this time, Zhang Min had already pushed the door and came in.
"Then eat something!"
"Okay, although I have just eaten, it's delicious!" Zhang Min picked up a pair of chopsticks and ate a few bites, but there were only a few bites. After all, she had to worry about her weight.
Liu Deyi ignored her and was eating her voraciously. After an hour of martial arts training in the afternoon, he was already hungry. He ate all of a fish and a pot of braised pork ribs, and even half of the shredded pork eggs and tomato soup!
If you add a little vegetables and some instant noodles in this soup, it will be a midnight snack!
After dinner, the two took out their schoolbags and studied on the same table. The homework in the first year of high school was not very heavy, especially for a good student like Zhang Min. So at the beginning, everyone took care of their homework. After an hour, Zhang Min's homework was completed. So she picked up the book to preview the homework taught tomorrow. Liu Deyi was much worse than her and only did half of the homework. However, his patience and willpower were much better than before. He studied carefully one by one, and accidentally put down the book in his hand and asked Zhang Min several questions. Zhang Min answered one by one. On the way, every hour, Zhang's mother would come over to see it on the grounds of delivering drinks. She found that such a learning atmosphere was very satisfied!
At nine o'clock, all the homework was completed, so the two turned on the TV and watched DVD! The casually rented "Mechanical Public Enemy", an American film.
Zhang Min doesn't like or hate this kind of subject, but Liu Deyi is still very satisfied with it. He poured a cup of tea for himself and Zhang Min, and then focused on it!
Zhang Min took a sip, smiled at the corner of her mouth, and said to Liu Deyi: "Ayi, what are you put in here? Do you think I have changed a lot this month?"
Liu Deyi didn't know why she asked this question, so he looked at her and looked up and down for a long time!
"No, I don't think you have changed anything, isn't it the same as before?" Liu Deyi still didn't see anything and replied depressedly: "Have you changed anything? Ah, are you a little fatter than before?"
As he said that, he stared at her chest.
"Damn, why do you look at people like this? It's like a pervert on TV!" Zhang Min's face turned a little red, and then said, "Have you noticed that my hair has become much darker and brighter? Have you noticed that my skin has also been much better?"
After looking at it for a while, Liu Deyi shook his head: "I didn't see it, but you said it would change. Have you bought a new shampoo and skin care lotion recently?"
"You, you didn't notice me at all!" Zhang Min said angrily, but seeing Liu Deyi being indifferent, she waited for a while and said, "The classmates in the class and my mother asked me what I used. My hair turned black and my skin became better!"
"Is that true?" Liu Deyi looked at her for a while and found that she was indeed a little more beautiful, her eyes were as light as paint, and her skin was smooth, so she nodded and said, "It seems that it has changed a little!"
"That's why I asked, what was put in your medicinal food? I think you have changed a lot. Is your prescription a secret recipe for the palace?"
"No, it's just some old prescriptions!" Liu Deyi then came back to the taste. He took a sip of tea with Chinese medicine. It was a bit bitter, but he was used to it, so he didn't feel it anymore.
"But the effect is really good!" Zhang Min said: "Do you have a name?"
"No!"
"Then I'll give them a name, huh, the porridge is called Hongyan porridge, and the tea is called Yangyi tea! Ayi, what do you think?"
"Not bad!" Liu Deyi said casually, focusing on the video again!
"Ayi!" Zhang Min couldn't help but feel angry!
After a while, it was getting late, so she had to go back. Liu Deyi finished watching the movie and watched the time. It was almost twenty-three o'clock, so she automatically started to meditate! Until twenty-four o'clock, Liu Deyi was still sitting still as quiet as a mountain. After a month, as the energy and spirit gradually became stronger and the anxiety that came from his heart when he was meditating again and again, his heart had become much more stable, and his will was also constantly stronger in this process. The wonder of meditating is the feeling of controlling oneself, and this is the beginning of everything. To control the world, control oneself first. This is the only way!
Finally, after another half an hour, he got out of bed, then moved his muscles and waited for about twenty minutes before running to the bathroom to take a shower. While showering with cold water, he closed his eyes and let the water shower down from the beginning!
This performance made the Jade Spirit very satisfied!
Unlike the current Taoist thought of indifferent and vain, it inherits the Taoist veins of Ziluoxia, and focuses on the spiritual principle of "this body only takes over the great way, seizes the creation of heaven and earth and achieves its goodness", and "the immortal way is originally something that practitioners cannot do"!
In the eyes of Yu Zhiling, the spirit of heaven is strong and the gentleman strives for self-improvement. This spirit is the true spirit of the Taoist lineage. It is thousands of years earlier than Lao Tzu's small country and few people, and it is indifferent and peaceful. Tao has yin and yang, and Lao Tzu's lineage is at best just passed down by "yin"!
To put it more maliciously, primitive Taoism like Ziluoxia directly peeks at the great way, which is a force that can change the world and everything. If this force is not controlled, it is really terrible. Therefore, preachers of all generations have never dared to face this terrible force and cannot face the cruelty of the truth. Therefore, they consciously or unconsciously bound it - the so-called "learning martial arts and learning Taoism; putting virtue first" is the reaction of this idea, just like a sharp long sword, adding a scabbard that binds it to feel safe!
In Lao Tzu's era, he even gathered this great idea and formally proposed the theory of "indifferent and quiet to attain the Tao", and even put forward the successors the requirement that "no great virtue can hear the Tao". Originally, this method of choosing or restraining was reasonable, but later, this method of adding sheaths on sheath became more and more popular. After the Han Dynasty, it even wiped out the original essence and turned into a pure moral mystery!
Of course, these things have no effect on the Jade Spirit at all! Those who obtain the great Tao are like the heaven, who holds the sword of creation, performs the things of birth and death, and transcends everything - this is a sword of Taoist who has no restraints, can destroy everything and create everything!
The Jade Spirit’s determination is to pass on this naked sword of Taoist!
The Jade Spirit doesn't know what happened back then, and why the Ziluo Gorge, which can be claimed to be circling the world, will disappear. However, as long as it still exists, it will never allow Ziluo Gorge to truly perish. Although it is just an insignificant inherited jade pendant for the introductory disciple of Ziluo Gorge training back then, today, as the only remaining member of Ziluo Gorge, it is already its unrestrained responsibility to revive Ziluo Gorge. Although because it knows only some introductory and medium-sized Taoism, many profound martial arts may be lost forever. Later generations will not even remember the names and deeds of the predecessors of Ziluo Gorge back then, as long as this long-standing spirit still exists, Ziluo Gorge will not perish!
The long journey is as long as iron, now we have to step back and forth!
Of course, all this has just begun. Now, it is enough that the Jade Spirit only needs to silently protect the growth of this disciple!
Chapter completed!
