Time flies, and it is the turn of spring and summer of the next year. In the past six months, Wu Xiangyuan has been meditating and practicing for at least three hours every day at the peak of the sun and moon, that is, at dawn and midnight. Although there has been some progress, it is still worse than before.
Even slower than a snail, it took him half a year to push the Qi to the periphery of the first acupuncture point in the third picture.
In fact, he had pushed the zhenqi to the outside of this acupoint three months ago. He originally thought that he would be able to push the zhenqi into this acupoint at once, so that he could successfully practice the third picture. Who would have thought that after all
In three months, that acupuncture point was like a fortress, with layers of barriers. No matter how he drove his true energy to form surging true power to attack, he could not make any progress. This was far from what he expected. For the first time, he realized
Practicing martial arts is not that easy.
In fact, his progress is already fast enough. You must know that the second to third levels of "Guiyuan Xuanyin Kung" are a threshold from foundation building to pulse expansion. It is extremely difficult to cross this threshold.
, but he always judged it by the speed standards of the first and second levels of cultivation, which naturally seemed extremely slow, so he couldn't help but feel irritated.
Early in the morning that day, Wu Xiangyuan meditated and practiced in front of the rising sun as usual, preparing to rush the acupuncture points. However, the infuriating cart could not be pushed, so he became irritated, and his luck unexpectedly hit the acupuncture points.
The barriers finally broke the great precepts of cultivation, causing him to faint on the spot.
When he woke up, he only felt the pain in the meridians all over his body, so he couldn't help but think of a sentence in the general theory: "Haste makes waste, and force makes you go crazy." When he thought of it, he was still scared. Fortunately, he
Only with a good foundation will nothing happen, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous. From now on, he will never dare to use his Qi to rush the acupuncture points so irritably, which is no different from driving a bull into a mountain.
At the same time, he also blamed himself for forgetting the teachings of his mentor Mr. Wang: The most important thing in life is to avoid irritability. Understanding what Mr. Wang said seemed to be what Zheng meant to him.
Due to the adverse effects of forced practice, Wu Xiangyuan had to use kung fu to repair his injured meridians. Fortunately, the damage was not serious. He only meditated for half an hour and was fine, and then continued his day's journey.
Before arriving at Ye's ancestral hall, Wu Xiangyuan was stopped by Xiao Shengzi: "Xiangyuan, save brother, save brother."
"What's wrong, Xiaoshengzi?" Wu Xiangyuan asked in surprise.
"I haven't finished the homework assigned by the teacher yesterday. Can you show me yours?" the young boy said pitifully.
"This is not good. If my husband sees that our homework is similar, he will definitely get slapped in the face and make us redo it," Wu Xiangyuan said in embarrassment.
Seeing Wu Xiangyuan in trouble, Xiaoshengzi immediately said: "How about this? I will give you a tael of silver and you will sell me your homework?"
Hearing what he said, Wu Xiangyuan was obviously a little moved. Since there were no crickets to catch in the past six months, he had hardly made any money. He always felt ashamed of his mother and mother-in-law. Now that he had an opportunity to make money easily, he didn't want to miss it.
"How about it, two taels of silver, do you want to sell it?" Seeing that Wu Xiangyuan was still hesitant, Xiao Shengzi raised the price.
"Yes, yes, but if you want me to make another copy for you, you can copy it," Wu Xiangyuan said.
"Why is it so troublesome? Why not just give it to me?" Xiao Shengzi said in confusion.
"How come? It's not like we don't recognize Mr. Handwriting. Are you looking for something to do?" Wu Xiangyuan said hurriedly,
"Oh, what you said makes sense, then let me copy yours, and you can do something else." As he said this, Xiao Shengzi took out the Four Treasures of the Study and prepared to copy it.
"This won't work either," Wu Xiangyuan said hurriedly,
"Why can't it work again? Do you not want to sell it? Do you not regard me as a brother?" Xiao Shengzi said angrily.
"How dare I mean that? Don't be angry. What I mean is that if you copy my coursework, you will be betrayed immediately. I am not bragging. My coursework should be better than yours, and your level is impossible.
You'll catch up with me in no time, right?" Xiao Shengzi nodded after hearing this.
"So, if you copy mine, your husband will find out right away, and you won't get a slap on the palm in the end?"
"Well, that makes sense, so what should we do?" Xiaoshengzi said with some embarrassment,
"What's so difficult about this? I can just do an essay that is at the same level as you. I'll ask you to write it," Wu Xiangyuan said confidently.
"Okay, then read quickly, class is about to start." So Wu Xiangyuan read Xiaoshengzi's writing, and he finished the homework in just a quarter of an hour. Xiaoshengzi did not break his promise. He spent two taels of silver, which is equivalent to half a copper coin spent by poor people.
He gave Wu Xiangyuan two taels of silver and went to class together.
Mr. Wang looked at their homework and found no problems. He also praised Xiao Shengzi's improvement and hoped that everyone could learn from him. Wouldn't he be so angry if he knew that Wu Xiangyuan did this homework?
Therefore, Wu Xiangyuan felt somewhat ashamed, and it was really uncomfortable to deceive the people he respected. However, Xiaoshengzi did not think so. In his concept, the things he bought with money belonged to him, so he did not think that these knowledge
It was from Wu Xiangyuan. He accepted Mr. Wang's praise openly and did not feel a trace of shame. On the contrary, he was very happy because it made him look proud in front of everyone.
From then on, Xiaoshengzi seldom did his homework, but often bought Wu Xiangyuan's homework, so Wu Xiangyuan could earn more than ten taels of silver from him every month. Wu Xiangyuan's income increased, but his mother no longer asked him
The origin of silver,
Because by now she has completely believed in the character of the children she has raised, she thought it was because her son had caught more fish recently than before, so the money for selling them would naturally be more, because Wu Xiangyuan did bring fish home every day, and
Sometimes extremely rare varieties were brought back.
It is said that at the turn of spring and summer, when the grass grows and orioles fly, it is a good time for fishing. The fish are fat and plentiful, so Wu Xiangyuan plans to catch more fish during this season.
This morning, after Wu Xiangyuan finished practicing, the sky was still cloudy. Perhaps it was due to a heavy thunderstorm last night. Wu Xiangyuan could no longer bear it, so he immediately got up to wash up and prepare to go to the river to catch fish.
Seeing Wu Xiangyuan getting up so early, Fang Xiumin was a little surprised: "Yuan'er, why are you getting up so early?"
"Mother-in-law, Yuan'er wants to go to the river to catch fish."
"Going to catch fish? Do you have to get up so early?"
"Of course, there was a heavy rain last night, and the river water will definitely swell, and the rain has stopped for a long time. The water level will definitely recede, and the fish will definitely rush to the beach, and there will definitely be more fish caught. My mother-in-law helped me prepare
Two wooden barrels, Yuan'er will be useful later," Wu Xiangyuan said excitedly.
After listening to Wu Xiangyuan's words, Fang Xiumin felt ashamed in her heart. She really didn't understand this. So without saying anything, she helped Wu Xiangyuan prepare two wooden barrels and put them on the horse. As soon as they were done, she saw Wu Xiangyuan.
Chewing on the leftover steamed buns from last night, he came straight to the horse.
"You kid, you eat cold food again, be careful of getting sick."
"It's okay, mother-in-law, I'm leaving first." After saying that, he led the horse and went out.
