Chapter 167: Lying in a lonely village and not feeling sorry for yourself
Tian Hao's daily routine began to change.
This was not just because there was little Lopu around, but after the first bizarre dream, he began to have second dreams and third dreams...
On this day, after waking up in the morning and washing up, Tian Hao came to an open space in the courtyard.
Then, with hesitation and memories, he slowly opened his arms and legs and made a posture that was strange to ordinary people but very normal to cultivators.
It was the first time in his life that Tian Hao had done such a posture. Psychologically, he couldn't let go.
Just like a person learning to ride a bicycle or swimming for the first time.
That's not just learning skills.
It is also a familiarity and cultivation of habits and psychology.
"Old Tian, you are not suitable for practice now. I will teach you a set of open-frame physical training first."
"Just like the name says, opening a frame cultivates the posture and posture of the body to make it straight and reasonable; practicing physical training polishes the muscles and bones by activating and stimulating qi and blood, so that the body is in a better state.
."
"You are already old, and your energy and blood are beginning to dry up. This is why secular practice must start from a young age."
"So before, I prepared Shiquan Dabu Decoction for you and Uncle Xu."
"After these few months of nourishing yourself, I believe you will also find that your body is much better and your spirit is much better."
"But it's still not enough."
"Simple nourishment will not bring you back to the state you were in when you were a teenager."
"So I have prepared this set of open boxing exercises for you."
"You have to practice hard, keep practicing, and prepare to continue practicing like this for ten or twenty years. As for how many years you need to practice, it depends on when you can get to the point of practice."
"Do you know what heat is?"
"Just like your soup, cook it until the time is just right."
"You have never been exposed to spiritual practice before, and you are not from a family of practitioners. There will definitely be something you don't understand about this open-frame physical training. Ask Uncle Xu and he will explain it to you."
What the young master said in his dream yesterday was now being replayed word for word in Tian Hao's mind.
Also playing back at the same time was the set of open-frame body training.
It doesn't look very complicated. From the beginning to the end, there are only twenty-four postures in total.
The first posture.
The second posture.
The third posture.
Relying on his clear dream memory, Tian Hao did everything very smoothly.
But just when he reached the fourth position, which seemed not much different from the first three movements, Tian Hao suddenly felt numbness in his elbow, and then, the energy in his whole body seemed to be exhausted all of a sudden.
Went.
After being stunned for a while, Tian Hao recalled the actions he had just taken and replayed the scene in his dream. Until it was confirmed that he had done nothing wrong, he skipped the first three and did the fourth posture again.
.
This time it's even worse.
The numbness in my elbows became even worse, and then even my legs felt a little cramped.
Tian Hao stopped immediately and did not dare to do it anymore. He rested for a while and walked to the backyard.
Tian Hao and Xu Tonghui live not far from each other and belong to the same small courtyard, but the place where Xu Tonghui does his morning and evening exercises is near the back of the courtyard.
Tian Hao didn't know the specific location because he had never seen it before, but he still knew the general location.
When following the approximate location and listening to the sound, they arrived near Xu Tonghui. Xu Tonghui was also arranging a stance. It seemed that he was also practicing physical boxing in an open stance?
Tian Hao looked at it and found that it was different from his own. It had some similarities but big differences.
After waiting quietly for Xu Tonghui to finish practicing, Tian Hao stepped forward, but before he could speak, he heard Xu Tonghui say: "Where did you encounter the problem?"
"Sir Xu, the young master taught me the open-frame physical training. When I reached the fourth position, my elbows became numb and I couldn't continue practicing..." Tian Hao reported in detail the situation just now, including his body after retraining.
reaction.
Listening to Tian Hao's words, Xu Tonghui felt a little dazed.
Naturally, he was not in a trance because of Tian Hao's words, but because of the scene in the dream.
In fact, when he woke up early this morning, he started to feel in a trance.
Xu Tonghui is not Tian Hao.
Tian Hao is not a practitioner, so he actually has no concept of a practitioner. Maybe in his imagination, all practitioners, as long as they have a little ability, can conquer mountains and seas, and are omnipotent.
As a practitioner, Xu Tonghui knows that this is not the case!
Not at all!
He also knows it all too well!
Not to mention ordinary cultivators, even the elders of the Zhuang family with the highest cultivation levels have very limited abilities.
Yes, it is "limited".
No matter whether your ability is big or small, it is still "limited", not boundless as ordinary people imagine.
This situation is also reflected in the script.
The scripts he listened to in Tongfu Tower were mostly written by cultivators, so although they were often exaggerated, they were not exaggerated. On the contrary, the scripts outside were different.
Each cultivator has great abilities.
Especially after coming to the county town, Xu Tonghui's vision has risen to countless levels. These days, he is walking around the Sihaimen today and the Baji Sect tomorrow.
No matter which sect he went to, whether it was Zihua Pavilion or Lanshui Sect, all the big forces in these counties and cities were extremely courteous, and they were all greeted personally by the hall master, pavilion master, sect master, etc.
The worst thing is that he is also the deputy hall master.
In the past, when facing these people, Xu Tonghui could only look up, or even dare not look up. Instead, he would lower his head and cower aside.
Don't dare to show any presence of yourself.
Because I really don’t have that qualification!
But now, when Xu Tonghui faced all these people, he looked at them levelly.
The reason for being able to look straight is not only due to psychological factors that cannot be treated as humane to outsiders, but also due to one's own strength.
If it were purely due to psychological factors, it would be impossible for a low-level cultivator to remain calm and natural when facing a cultivator who is higher-level or even one level higher than himself.
Absolutely impossible!
Even if you close your eyes and don't know anything, when a high-level cultivator comes to you, your energy and blood will be stagnant unconsciously.
The more cultivators whose ranks are higher than yours, the more obvious this "encounter reaction" will be.
And the other party can feel it clearly.
Therefore, if two cultivators meet and there is a big difference in level, there is no need to ask the other person which level they are and tell the other person which level they are.
Is it necessary to say it?
Both parties are aware of it!
Of course, generally speaking, low-level people will only know that the other person's level is higher than their own. As for how much higher it is, it depends on their horizons.
In terms of strength level, Xu Tonghui is just Tongmai now.
In fact, he didn't even have a single pulse.
In the past few days, among his friends, not to mention those who have obviously achieved great success in opening up the meridians, there are one after another in the realm of awakening the orifice and the realm of entraining qi at the earth level, and they can't be counted on the fingers of both hands together.
Those in the Qi Condensation stage can't even get close to him!
Then Xu Tonghui discovered something that shocked and horrified him.
As a cultivator who has just entered the Tongmai state, he can clearly position himself condescendingly at those cultivators who have achieved great success in condensing energy, and can easily and naturally face those cultivators who have achieved enlightenment.
Only when facing those sect leaders, deputy sect leaders, and others, would he feel the pressure.
It was precisely because of this pressure that Xu Tonghui confirmed that the other party was Di Jie.
To put it simply, Xu Tonghui can now distinguish the three levels of Qi condensation, meridians and orifices of the human level at a glance, and he can also tell whether the other person is an earth level practitioner at a glance.
After these long interactions, Xu Tonghui's understanding of many aspects of the spiritual world was even more unparalleled than before.
It is no exaggeration to say that now that he has returned to Qingshui City and returned to the banker, even the elders of the banker cannot compare with him in this aspect!
Precisely because he knew a lot, Xu Tonghui felt uncontrollably in a trance when he thought of his dream at night.
Master, he...
What level exactly is it?
In other words, Master, is he a cultivator?
Although he was not even in the Acupoint Realm, and he had just left the Qi Condensation Realm not long ago, Xu Tonghui felt that he could already see through the human level.
And even for earth-level cultivators, in the eyes of Xu Tonghui now, they are just like that.
Yes, Ji Jie is indeed powerful, and he can probably be beaten to death with one slap.
But that kind of power can be seen and felt.
The earth's order is like this, but what about the heaven's order?
It will definitely be more powerful, but it shouldn't be too outrageous, right?
