Lin Jin followed the serial number and finally found his residence before noon.
The residence is located in a quiet valley on the mountainside, but because of the serial number, there are only ten houses in the valley. Lin Jin's is the ninth. The first eight seem to be occupied, but only the ninth and tenth houses are occupied.
There is no one in the house.
Lin Jin opened the door, and a puff of dust came to his face.
"Ahem... No one has been here for at least several decades. The dust is thick enough to be used as a mattress."
Lin Jin covered his nose while cleaning the wooden bed...
Seeing a small stream in the valley, Lin Jin began to tidy up the house carefully.
An hour later, Lin Jin slept on a clean bed and fell asleep looking at the roof from exhaustion.
…
"Hey man, are you new?"
A strange voice woke Lin Jin up. He stood up and looked at a young disciple in front of him, about twenty years old, and asked, "May I ask who this senior brother is?"
The man laughed and said: "My name is Xiao Zhang, you can call me by my nickname 'Senior Brother Arrogant'. I am your neighbor. I came back just now and found traces of someone's activity here, so I came to take a look.
I didn't expect you to fall asleep, are you hungry? Here." After saying that, he handed a sesame seed cake to Lin Jin.
Lin Jin touched his stomach and found that he was really hungry. He had forgotten to fill his stomach in the past two days.
You're welcome, Lin Jin took the sesame seed cake and ate it.
Xiao Zhang looked at Lin Jin and said with a smile: "Recruiting disciples happens once every four years, and it's not the time yet. I think you must have come in through connections, right?"
"Brother Lin Jin, it's okay not to mention that."
Lin Jin nodded and did not deny it.
"You have to go fast, otherwise eating every day will cost you spiritual stones."
After gnawing on sesame seed cakes, Lin Jin said: "I just received the exercises, it still takes time."
Xiao Zhang asked curiously: "Oh? What technique did you choose?"
Lin Jin replied: "The technique to stabilize the foundation."
Xiao Zhang said doubtfully: "I've never heard of it. My technique is a technique for condensing the mind."
"I can feel that you should have reached the ninth level of the Qi training stage, right?"
Xiao Zhang asked excitedly, Lin Jin didn't know why.
"It's normal that you don't understand. I see that among the tens of thousands of people in our sect, you are the only one who is in the Qi training stage, so I think it's a bit new. Don't be surprised."
The two exchanged some notes on what beginners should pay attention to, and it was already getting late.
"Haha, it's getting late. I have to practice. If you need anything, come to me. Brother Arrogant, I can protect you."
Looking at Xiao Zhang's back, Lin Jin knew that he had to work hard, otherwise he would definitely fall behind others, even though he was already falling behind others.
Then he took out the jade slip, sat cross-legged, and sank into his mind according to the method the old man told him.
But after half an hour, Lin Jin still didn't feel anything. Lin Jin was speechless for a while. He lay down on the bed in desperation, put the jade slip on his forehead, closed his eyes and began to meditate.
Suddenly, Lin Jin felt a lot of information pouring into his mind, which made Lin Jin unable to adapt for a while.
At this time, Lin Jin found himself standing in a place surrounded by white, with two large golden characters above his head: Acupoint Meridian.
After a while, many small characters appeared in the air around them, which should be the incomplete exercises!
Lin Jin seized the time and read it word for word.
Although it was an incomplete exercise, it still took Lin Jin a long time to read it. After reading it, Lin Jin roughly understood this exercise called acupoint meridian.
Everyone has hundreds of acupuncture points on their body, and acupoint meridian is the practice of acupoints to achieve the purpose of solidifying the foundation.
However, there are two major difficulties in practicing acupoint meridian. One is that you must use sufficient spiritual energy to condense the acupoints, and spiritual stones are the best choice.
Another is that practicing acupoint meridian is very dangerous. If you are not careful, it will cause the acupuncture points to explode, weakening your skills and even threatening your life. Therefore, you must do it slowly and step by step.
Lin Jin opened his eyes, took the jade slip in his hand and played with it, but there was a fierce collision of ideas in his mind.
To practice or not to practice?
If you don't practice, the only path to cultivation may be cut off, but if you practice, the danger may be quite great.
It seems that the person back then also experienced such a choice, right?
"Huh, men should be tougher on themselves!" Lin Jin clenched his fists and muttered to himself.
"Besides, if this body needs to be strengthened, this acupuncture point is a very good choice."
Take out the storage bag, and you can know the level of the spiritual stones in it just by relying on the level of spiritual energy.
"This fat man is quite generous, even though it is a bribe..."
Sitting up, Lin Jin followed the steps on the acupoint meridians and began to breathe with closed eyes. He held a low-grade spiritual stone in his hand and slowly introduced the spiritual energy in it into the meridians.
He found an acupuncture point at random, introduced the spiritual energy into the acupuncture point, and pulled it out again and again. The acupuncture point with an unknown name gradually expanded at a slow speed under his continuous movement of spiritual energy.
With.
In this way, Lin Jin began his true entry-level period of cultivation.
…
"Is Junior Brother Lin Jin here?" Xiao Zhang knocked on the door.
Lin Jin heard Xiao Zhang's voice and slowly opened his eyes.
At this time, the spirit stone in Lin Jin's hand had turned into gray powder. The acupuncture point in his body had been expanded to twice its original size by Lin Jin overnight, but Lin Jin did not feel any obvious difference.
It seems to have no effect yet.
Lin Jin stood up, straightened his clothes, and opened the door.
"Huh? Lin Jin, did you start practicing last night? The spiritual energy in your body is a little different from before. It seems that you are close to the Life Bridge. The Life Bridge will surprise you."
Xiao Zhang observed Lin Jin carefully and said with a smile.
Lin Jin didn't know whether he was surprised or not. He turned sideways to let Xiao Zhang enter and said, "I've just come into contact with it, so I haven't gained much, haha."
Xiao Zhang shook his head and said: "You can't say that. I came here in the same way. It's been three years and I'm still in the process of extradition. By the way, as your boss, haha, I'll show you around today.
Liyun Pavilion."
Lin Jin naturally would not refuse and nodded in agreement.
The two walked out of the valley and soon came to the side of Guixin Palace. Xiao Zhang asked: "Lin Jin, are you hungry? Do you need something to eat?"
Because Lin Jin has not yet reached the stage of inescaping, he needs food to replenish his body's energy. Unlike Xiao Zhang, who can rely entirely on spiritual energy to maintain his body's functions.
"Is there something to eat here?"
Xiao Zhang snapped his fingers and said, "It's necessary! Let's go, follow me." Then he strode into the Guixin Hall, followed closely by Lin Jin.
The middle-aged fat man was eating roast chicken on the stone table. When he saw Xiao Zhang coming, he immediately put the roast chicken away as if he had seen a ghost, but he could not hide the oil on his mouth.
Xiao Zhang came to the middle-aged fat man and stretched out his hand, smiling.
"Fat Sun, take it out, I saw it."
Fatty Sun's head suddenly shook like a wavy drum. He touched the oil on his mouth and said, "No, no! You must be blinded!"
Xiao Zhangjun laughed, suddenly pointed at Fatty Sun's back and shouted: "Thief!"
Fatty Sun was startled and quickly turned around to look, but found that there was no thief at all. Only then did he realize that he had been fooled. When he turned around, he found that Xiao Zhang was already holding the roast chicken and looking at him with a smile.
At this time, Fatty Sun's face was as ugly as it was, and he said with a cry: "Oh, my little ancestor, can you please stop playing with me? I said you come here to eat and drink from me every day, and I'm about to be beaten."
You are poor."
Xiao Zhang peeled off a chicken leg and shouted: "Then... oh, come here quickly, let me tell you a little story! About Fatty Sun..."
Fatty Sun's body trembled, and he quickly covered Xiao Zhang's mouth and said hastily: "Stop... stop shouting, I'll give it to you, I'll give it to you."
Xiao Zhang took a big bite of the chicken leg and looked at Fatty Sun seriously.
"Then I will arrange a task for you."
When Fatty Sun heard this, he immediately said with a serious face: "I promise to complete the mission!"
The expression on his face changed so quickly that it reminded Lin Jin of Monk Yiwu for a moment.
Xiao Zhang pointed at Lin Jin and said: "He is my junior brother, and I will protect him. However, he has just started and has not yet started eating. So if he is hungry and comes to you for food, you have to give it to him unconditionally. I understand.
?"
Fatty Sun nodded and said, "Of course, of course..."
Xiao Zhang said "hmm" with satisfaction and said to Lin Jin: "Let's go." After saying that, he threw the roast chicken to Lin Jin.
Lin Jin took the roast chicken and said, "Isn't this bad?"
Xiao Zhang didn't care and said: "It's okay, that damn fat guy has plenty to eat. Eat boldly and let's go."
When the two of them walked out of the Guixin Hall, Lin Jin asked curiously: "Why is that Fatty Sun so afraid of you? Is there something in your hands?"
"That Fatty Sun went to peek at a female disciple taking a shower two years ago and I caught him in front of him..."
Seeing no one around, Xiao Zhang said mysteriously
"Then you went to see it too? That's why you took the opportunity to threaten..."
Xiao Zhang saw Lin Jin's mind spinning so fast and gave him a haha.
"This... oh, a good man doesn't mention his former bravery. Hurry up and eat. I will take you to Rudao Cliff to listen to the sutra lectures first."
