Chapter Nine: Three Yang Meridians
"From today on, I don't want to see such disputes in the paper mill. If anyone commits the crime again, no matter whether he is right or wrong, he will be dragged under the bell tower and beaten with thirty boards! But Liu Yi is the disciple of Senior Brother Tang, the first of Changtai Peak.
I have no right to punish him privately. If he commits a crime, I will send him back to Changtaifeng and let Senior Brother Tang Jiawen deal with it."
This is clearly biased towards Liu Yi.
As soon as Zhuang Dunshen said these words, no one dared to think of insulting Liu Yi. Especially Fan Jian, who turned around and ran away, thinking of staying as far away from Liu Yi as possible.
Although Fan Jian and others were dissatisfied, they did not dare to complain and had to leave separately. They did not dare to trouble Liu Yi openly, but they would definitely do things like stumbling blocks secretly.
After everyone left, Zhuang Dunshen told Liu Yi, "If you take the initiative to cause trouble, I will send you back to Changtaifeng first, and then I will suggest that Senior Brother Tang punish you severely, at least fifty big blows!"
Liu Yi replied: "Uncle Zhuang, don't worry, I won't offend anyone unless they offend me."
In this papermaking workshop, Liu Yi was also assigned a room.
"That female disciple turned out to be Lu Ningshuang..."
Liu Yi recalled Lu Ningshuang's appearance, put the five chopped moso bamboos in the room, locked the door, and returned to Kunziyuan.
After Liu Yi had dinner and chatted with Hu Tutu for a while, he finally understood what kind of punishment Zhuang Dunshen meant.
In the Foreign Affairs Hall, there is an eighty-pound iron plate specially used to punish disciples.
"If you hit the buffalo for thirty times, the buffalo will be beaten to the ground, let alone beating a human! No wonder that Fan Jian was so scared that he ran away when he heard that he was going to beat the person."
After Liu Yi sent Hu Tutu away, he sat cross-legged, put the feathers on his chest, and performed the exercises for twelve weeks.
"Three times the speed, it is indeed three times the speed!"
After the exercise was completed, Liu Yi's face was full of ecstasy. He didn't expect this feather to have such a mysterious effect!
In this way, one month of his practice is equivalent to three months of others' practice.
It’s comparable to others’ three years.
Feeling that the feather was too magical, Liu Yi took it out and studied it for a long time. But except for the talisman patterns on the feather, there was nothing strange about it. The longer Liu Yi stared at the feather, the more he felt that it was an ordinary feather.
Feathers to the extreme.
He couldn't tell whether it was goose feathers or bird feathers.
"I can't tell anyone about the feathers!"
After thinking for a long time, Liu Yi took off some thin threads from his clothes, tied the feathers, and hung them tightly around his neck. He thought to himself, "I was accepted as a disciple by the master, and those outer disciples turned against me one after another. They were extremely jealous.
.If anyone knows that I have a treasure like feathers on my body, I am afraid that not only the outer disciples will be jealous of me, but even the inner disciples will think of ways to harm me..."
What happened in the Foreign Affairs Hall these days has made Liu Yi mature a lot.
Although the Yuxi Sect is a famous and upright sect, not every disciple may be an upright and upright gentleman.
From that day on, Liu Yi began a three-point and one-line life: sleeping in Kunzi Courtyard, eating in the cafeteria, and chopping bamboo in the paper mill.
It wasn't until half a month later that Liu Yi was sitting on the bed again, practicing his exercises when he vaguely heard a slight whistling sound coming from his body.
The true energy is strong and roaring.
The fifth level of nourishing Qi!
"Starting from tomorrow, I will get through the twelve serious meridians. I am assigned to make paper in the paper mill. First, I have to cut down enough moso bamboo. The stronger the arm strength, the easier it will be to cut bamboo. It is better to first make the hands three yang and the hands three yin.
By opening up the meridians, cutting bamboo can get twice the result with half the effort..."
Liu Yi thought deeply and slowly fell asleep.
There are six steps in papermaking.
First: cut the bamboo. When there is enough bamboo, soak the moso bamboo in water and wash off the green skin on the bamboo.
Second: Steam the bamboo with lime and saltpeter.
Third: Take out the softened bamboo and smash it with a hammer. It looks like mud dough, which is called bamboo material.
fourth:……
It takes at least two months to make talisman paper once. The first step takes the most time and requires soaking moso bamboo for about a month.
In the past half month, Liu Yi had cut down more than a hundred moso bamboos in total.
When others make paper, they have to use at least thousands of moso bamboos. Liu Yi felt a little embarrassed when he had to hold more than a hundred bamboos to make paper.
He had already read the "Herbal Classic" that Tang Jiawen gave Liu Yi. During his trip to Changtai Peak, Tang Jiawen gave him another "Basic Spiritual Beast Illustration".
This book is more than ten times thicker than the "Herbal Medicine Classic", with seven to eight hundred pages, like a big blue brick, and weighs more than ten kilograms in total.
But after Liu Yi read a few pages, he was deeply attracted. The book not only contains text, but also draws images as explanations. There are all kinds of strange spiritual beasts in the book...
The book records: "The Tail Fire Angry Chicken is two feet tall and weighs ten kilograms. It can spray out 'fire in the tail row of wood' to hurt people. The hen has two pairs of wings, and the rooster can lay eggs."
When Liu Yi saw these, he always felt very excited. He even caught Fatty Hu to look at the strange things together, pointing to the pictures in the book, "Little Fatty! This angry chicken, the rooster can lay eggs, it is a fighting chicken among roosters!"
Hu Xiaopang was also full of surprise and felt very strange, "Brother Yi, let's catch two tomorrow and use them to lay eggs. Stewed sweet potatoes with eggs are simply a delicacy in the world..."
"You're such a foodie!"
Liu Yi stared at Hu Tutu, hating that iron could not be made into steel, and promptly corrected the little fat man's wrong thinking, "We must catch at least four! Two males and two females. If you let two roosters fuck each other, will they be able to lay eggs?"
Hu Xiaopang was stunned for a moment, and then he suddenly realized what he was doing.
The little fat man suddenly stood up, his eyes widened, he patted his shiny forehead, and exclaimed, "It makes sense! It makes sense! The harmony of yin and yang! A word that wakes up the dreamer! It's still you, Brother Yi..."
Be thoughtful!”
So, the days passed like this day by day.
Liu Yi also met Lu Ningshuang several times during this period, but this woman was as cold as ice lotus and never took the initiative to talk to others.
Ten days later, Liu Yi read one or two hundred pages of "Basic Spiritual Beast Illustrations" and chopped more than a hundred bamboo branches. He also opened one of the three Yang meridians in his hand.
When he went to chop bamboo again, through the opened meridians, the zhenqi was integrated into his palms. Liu Yi could clearly feel that his strength to chop bamboo was at least twice as strong!
In one afternoon, twelve bamboos were cut down.
That evening, when Liu Yi returned to the paper-making mill with twelve bamboos in his arms, he shocked the disciples of the paper-making mill.
"Chopping twelve bamboos in one afternoon, Liu Yi must have opened up a meridian in his arm."
"This kid is only fourteen years old! He has cultivated to the fifth level of Qi Yang at the age of fourteen. His talent is indeed much higher than ours. No wonder Chief Tang will accept him as his disciple."
When everyone was talking about it, Fan Jian stood up again.
"I bother!"
Fan Jianxiao made everyone feel sick. He looked at Liu Yi with a stern look and said to the people around him: "It's nothing to reach the fifth level of Qi nourishment at the age of fourteen. Many of the inner disciples have reached it at the age of fourteen."
What about the sixth floor, why are you making such a fuss?"
Now the others were not happy and looked down on Fan Jian, "If you have the ability, show me how you can practice it? You, Fan Jian, are already twenty-three years old this year, right? Why are you still only at the eighth level of Qi Yang? What if you were in
Before the age of twenty-five, if you cannot break through the Qi-nurturing realm, you will be sent home. We will see if you can still laugh at that time."
Failure to break through the Qi-nourishing realm before the age of twenty-five means that the qualifications are too poor and there is no chance of immortality. At that time, the Yuxi Sect will arrange for the monks in the sect to send these disciples who are not qualified enough to go home.
"I will definitely be able to reach the Qi Refining stage before I'm twenty-five!"
Fan Jian looked arrogant and raised his chin, as if he was using his chin as his eyes. He was looking at people with his chin, and then he stretched out his hand and pointed to his head, "Young Master Fan, I... there is someone above me, what should I be afraid of?"
It was precisely because of someone above him that Fan Jian was able to cultivate in the Qi-nourishing realm and was sent to the papermaking workshop.
Another person said: "There are people above Liu Yi, and he is still the first one!"
"What's wrong with the first one? Can the first one eat me?"
Fan Jian said nonchalantly, with resentment in his eyes, staring straight at Liu Yi's back, thinking in his heart: "I will never let you go if I spit all over my face and embarrass you."
