Chapter 008 - Water Picking and Tests

　　"Sleep well, eat well." 　　Father Li Shanzhu can teach Li Yunsheng not many things, these two should be the best teaching, once upon a time, even if the two sleep in the wilderness, but also as usual, five more get up and sleep, three meals a day do not fall a meal. 　　The day is not yet bright Li Yunsheng will get up early, he first panned a little millet in a clay pot, will be three nucleated jujubes will also be thrown inside, end to the stove with a small fire slowly simmering, and then began to clean the house. 　　Cabin furnishings are very simple, a bed, a table, a stool, an oil lamp, the bed does not even have a bedding only a straw mat, in the cabin next to a smaller room, which is the cooker and some broken kitchen utensils, a clay pot, a rice tank and a water tank, the rice tank is empty, but the water tank has a small half of a tank of water, ceramic pots were used to make congee. 　　To clean up, he took out a greaseproof paper bag from his luggage, which contained two pounds of dried small fish, which he had caught himself, and which he had salted and dried with his own hands. 　　He cut the small dried fish into even small pieces, into the already hot frying pan, several times stir-fried and put some spicy salt, not long after the small dried fish began to diffuse the fragrance of the mountaintop. 　　A dish of dried fish, a bowl of millet porridge, Li Yunsheng sat in the big acacia tree under the stump of the table side to eat up. 　　As Li Yunsheng ate, he picked up the book of qi practicing secrets that Li Changgeng had thrown to him earlier and read it. 　　To be precise this book should be called "Outer Disciple Qi Practicing Technique", looking at the name Li Yunsheng understood that this should be an entry level cultivation book, after scanning it for a few moments he put the book down. 　　This is not because the book is too thin and too simple, on the contrary, this book as the foundation of qi cultivation law, many things are said very carefully, carefully to the name of some meridians, as well as the hours of cultivation. 　　Li Yunsheng so quickly put down, but because he has been reading books since childhood speed is extremely fast, because there is no money to buy books, from a very young start he will intentionally will have seen the content of their own written down, years and months, I do not know is the inertia or talent, as long as it is not a very complex book Li Yunsheng basically can do not forget. This is a great talent, but Li Yunsheng's father was preoccupied with the search for immortality, simply do not know that his son also has the ability to forget, sometimes see Li Yunsheng reading obsessive reading can not help but also scold him a few words. And Li Yunsheng simply do not feel that this is what overly talented, and even for a long time, he felt that this is an unseemly means, because he felt that this is no different from stealing books. 　　He drank two bowls of congee and ate a third of the fried small dried fish before clearing the table and going to wash the dishes. 　　"It turns out that this cultivation process is to use one's own spiritual veins as a guide, to take the spiritual qi of heaven and earth into one's body, and week after week, to practice essence and turn it into qi, that's why it's called qi cultivation ah." While washing the dishes, Li Yunsheng muttered. 　　He had a habit of reading books, he would first write it down and then recall it in his mind, this Elementary Qi Practicing Technique, compared to those books he had read in the past, simply made him feel a bit unimaginable, but it was very interesting, and he felt that it was more interesting than any book he had read in the secular world. 　　After washing the dishes, he had already read and understood an approximation of this Primary Qi Practicing Technique, and he also understood why Yang Wanli had asked Li Changgeng to give him this book. 　　"If I follow what the book says, use the different methods of breathing and exhaling well, and use essence to transform qi to use qi, so that the power can be born, I will be able to complete the task of picking twenty loads of water from the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain, which means that Master, he is testing me." 　　He washed and wiped the dishes and chopsticks and neatly placed them on the shelf next to the stove again, shook his head and secretly said, "These Immortals have more twists and turns in their brains than we market vendors." 　　Next he took out the flat stretcher and two wooden buckets from the house, looking at the sky it should be the dawning hour, "If I go to bed at ohio time, I will have a total of eight hours, with my current stamina picking a quart of water back and forth will take at least an hour, and at most I can get eight quarts of water a day." 　　"So if I can pick ten loads of water back today, it means that the method of breathing and exhaling in this book is effective." 　　Thinking this way Li Yunsheng picked two buckets and went down the mountain. 　　The first quintal of water picked to the mountain, same as Li Yunsheng estimated, he spent more than an hour, but he was already panting, he felt that his feet were like bolted with two big iron blocks, it was extremely laborious to move, but this first quintal of water he didn't follow the method of exhaling from that qi practicing skill, he wanted to experience it for himself, there was a difference between using and not using was not really a difference. 　　After resting for a short while, he went down the mountain again. 　　This time when he picked the stretcher up the mountain, he began to follow the exhaling methods taught in the book, and tried to make the pace of his feet consistent with the rhythm of his breathing, although he couldn't do it skillfully, but only after he took the first step Li Yunsheng noticed that every time he breathed out and inhaled, there was an extremely comfortable and cool airflow coming out from the soles of his feet, which instantly dissolved all the fatigue in his body. 　　Effective! 　　A wave of ecstasy surged within Li Yunsheng's heart, which had always been unperturbed. 　　Hearing about "Immortals" was never as shocking as experiencing it in person, and although what he had acquired was only the foundation of the fundamentals, Li Yunsheng felt as if his feet were stepping on a lotus flower as he ascended to the blue clouds during this breath. 　　As he became more and more skillful in the use of the book on the method of luck of vomiting and breathing, his footsteps also became lighter and lighter, his curiosity about the immortal mansion became more and more exuberant, he has no real sense of eternal life, but for people to be able to obtain the eternal life of the Dao is very curious, this kind of desire for knowledge that has been suppressed since childhood, and finally completely exploded at this moment. 　　However, on the first day, Li Yunsheng ultimately did not complete his task, even with the help of that Tuna technique he only finished picking nine quintals of water. Because in his previous calculations, he did not include the fatigue value of his body, the body after picking the first quintal of water is not the same as the body after picking five quintals of water, and ...... even with the help of the Tuna Technique, the musculoskeletal bones of his body could not withstand such intense labor. 　　Li Yunsheng is a very measured person, he knows his own strengths and knows his own shortcomings even more, he stopped when he finished picking the ninth quart of water, although if he grits his teeth he can still pick a few more quarts, but then I am afraid that his body will soon collapse, it would be better to go step by step and wait until he practiced the method of vomiting and luck and his own movements more skillfully, then he will come back to complete the task. 　　Moreover, Li Changgeng had said three days to him. 　　In fact, in Li Changgeng's opinion, Li Yunsheng can't stay for a day, twenty quintals of water from the bottom of the mountain to the mountain, even he has to spend a lot of energy, originally Yang Wanli gave them nine quintals a day, things are not much to pour twenty quintals. That twenty quintals is just a casual remark, this kind of son of the world he has seen a lot, not to mention twenty quintals, just let them carry water also live on the mountain they can not stand it, and can not wait to run home to parents complained about the pain. 　　This fall harvest arrived, Baiyun Guan's people are so busy that they forget the sun and the moon. In the blink of an eye three days have passed, Li Changgeng is carrying a few bundles of rice to the White Cloud View of the tanning bed, just put these rice down to see a middle-aged man walking on the face. 　　The man was extremely short, with a strong body, and many patches on his clothes but very clean. 　　"Yo, Eldest Brother, haven't seen you for some time!" 　　Li Changgeng greeted him with a simple smile on his face. 　　"A dirty body, clothes also do not wear good, this is in the view is not in your home, if you meet the guests who come to the view how to do? How many times do you want me to say this to you before you grow some memory?" 　　Li Changgeng, who was more than eight feet long, was scolded by his less than five-foot elder brother and did not dare to raise his head. 　　"The youngest senior brother that master asked you to bring in the other day, he's from Yingzhou just like you, he has no relatives here and knows nothing about the Immortal Mansion, master is not available, so he asked me to tell you that you should take care of him more." 　　Big Senior Brother finished with a serious face, then walked straight past Li Changgeng. 　　"Aiya!" 　　Li Changgeng slapped his head violently, then ran wildly towards the back of the mountain, as if he was a mad cow rushing across the mountain path. 　　When he arrived at the foot of the back mountain out of breath, a scene in front of him surprised him: only to see halfway up the mountainside, a little boy picking two buckets of water, trotting along the winding mountain path at an extremely light pace. 　　When he reacted to the fact that the child was none other than Li Yunsheng, Li Yunsheng had already disappeared into the lush mountain forest. 　　"So fast!" 　　Li Changgeng sighed with emotion, thinking, not only had he misjudged the identity of this child, he had actually misjudged his stance! 　　And just as he was lamenting, an even more shocking thing happened. 　　Only to see this back of the mountain top, the old acacia tree "blossomed". In the whole verdant mountains, the white flowers are like stars in the sky, although they are very small, but they are very eye-catching.
