A foreigner's journey

It rained heavily all night and didn't stop until early morning.

As the morning sun rises, a light mist fills the mountainside of the Nolimu Mountains, and the gurgling streams and messy bird calls are mixed together.

Whether Izanabi, Heather or Kurapika are all types with full mobility points, tents and waterproof measures are all in place. The three of them were sitting next to the fire, chatting while using the heat to bake the clothes that had been soaked last night.

"So, Kurapika, you want to gain the power to [fight alone]?"

"Yes, please tell me everything about [Nian]."

Izanabi turned over three tree branches with horsemouth fish on them, and then touched his stubble-covered chin:

"To put it simply, the energy overflowing from the body is called 'Qi', and the ability to freely control 'Qi' is called 'Nian'. [Tang], [Jue], [Lian], and [Fa], the above become the four major elements. , collectively called [mind], is to 'sublimate the mind and exercise the mind', in other words, it is the practice of strengthening the process of self-will."

"As human beings, no matter who we are, we have a lot of 'qi', but most people will let it drain away. The technique of retaining this Qi in the body is [Tang]."

"Mattei..." Kurapika looked thoughtfully at Heather, who was sitting on the other side and staring at the grilled fish: "Heather can also 'matter'?"

"Heather and you are different from most people. He is a natural telepathic user. Although it is not perfect yet, blocking the 'qi' lost in the body is as instinctive to him as breathing."

Izanabi was stared at by Heather and had no choice but to hand him a skewer of grilled fish: "Don't compete with a little monster like Heather, just listen to what I have to say first."

"Yes, please continue."

"[Jutsu] is to cut off Qi and eliminate the breath. It can make you invisible and eliminate the sense of existence without being noticed by the enemy. It can also help you restore your energy. In contrast, the technique of releasing Qi that exceeds the normal level is [Practice]"

"Finally, the free control of the released Qi is called "Fa". The above are the four major practices of "Mindfulness", which need to be practiced step by step."

Izanabi handed another skewer of grilled fish to Kurapika, picked up the last skewer, blew on it and then took a small bite. The fish skin was slightly crispy but the meat was tender: "I want to teach you, Let’s start with [tangling] first.”

"Can I ask a question, Master?" Kurapika did not eat the fish and stared at Izanabi with burning eyes.

"Well, ask. Hiss...it's so hot!"

"If you perfect your mind, can you defeat any strong enemy?"

Looking at Kurapika's brown eyes that couldn't contain his emotions, Izanabi smiled slightly: "You want to ask [Can Nian kill someone?], right?"

"That's right."

"Yes." Izanabi's answer was clear and concise: "Hunters are not a profession for men and women. Killing and fighting for one's hunting goals are inevitable, so [reading] is indispensable for professional hunters. The rule of license to kill also exists for this reason. You should understand what I say, right? Speaking of which..."

Izanabi turned to look at Heather, who was eating grilled fish with relish, and sighed: "Looking at it a few times, I still find it amazing. Those glasses of yours are no longer 'mundane', Heather."

Heather, who had restored her bangs and black-framed glasses, said "Ah": "Really? I don't know. This is a birthday gift from my mother. I have worn it for many years."

"Having been contaminated by the aura of you, a person with natural telepathy abilities, all the year round, and catalyzed by your idea of ​​'hiding your face' every moment, this pair of glasses can already be called a 'psychiatric device', and the effect should be to help You hide your true face and pretend to be true. Now even if I look directly with 'condensation', I can't see through your true face. This is the evidence."

"Really? Then call it [Superman's Invisibility Lenses]."

Heather ate the grilled fish cleanly, wiped her mouth and looked at her cheap master: "Should I also start learning from [Tang] with Xiao Kuku?"

"Senior Brother Heather, I have told you many times, please just call me by my name."

"Okay, little cool."

"…………"

"No, you two don't train the same way. There is one very important thing that needs to be done before you start learning."

Izanabi walked up to a huge stone half a man tall and patted the surface of the stone gently: "Well... it's big enough. You two can come and sit on the stone."

The two of them sat cross-legged on the stone as he ordered.

"Next, I am going to send my Qi into your body. Although it is a bit rough, this can pry open your [Sperm Aperture]. To put it simply, it is because the [Sperm Aperture] is closed that the Qi cannot flow freely in the body. circulation."

Izanabi rolled up the cuffs of his martial arts uniform, and an invisible aura began to gather on his body:

"As long as you scare the sleeping body, it can enter a state that easily triggers [entanglement]. It's very simple, right?"

Feeling the strong aura coming from behind him, Kurapika wanted to say something, but in the end he remained silent.

Suddenly, Heather asked: "Wait a minute, teacher, is the way to start [reading] so hasty? Shouldn't there be a step-by-step type?"

Izanabi nodded: "Indeed, the orthodox way is to rely on methods such as meditation and sitting meditation to feel your own [Qi]. After you truly feel the [Qi] surrounding your body, the acupuncture points will gradually open. But there are two of them. A key point.”

"Key point?" Kurapika couldn't help but asked.

"First, Heather's physique as a person with natural telepathy ability is no longer suitable for this method. He can only rely on forced telepathy to open the sperm hole."

"What about the second key point?" Kurapika nodded. This was indeed a reason.

"The second key point is - I don't know the traditional way of practice! This is how my master helped me forcefully open my mind, and my master's master did the same!"

Izanabi said confidently: "You two boys talk a lot of nonsense. Get ready and let's start!"

The cheap master stood behind the two of them, with his hands spread out towards their backs.

Even without touching it, Kurapika could feel the powerful heat and force pushing on his back, as well as the illusory expansion feeling as if he was feeling an itch.

"Attention!"

drink!

Kurapika was shocked when his palms hit the two of them hard on the back! The next moment, I felt a burst of heat all over my body, and the clearly visible [qi] spurted out uncontrollably like steam from the spout of a kettle.

"This...this is..."

Kurapika began to feel his body become soft. Was he starting to lose strength?

He gritted his teeth and looked at Izanabi, and found that the latter was looking next to him with a cold sweat on his face. What's wrong?

In Izanabi's field of vision, the energy in Kurapika's body burst out instantly. This was expected, but something was not right with Heather.

Have you ever felt a hundred huge fireworks tied together explode before your eyes?

The unimaginable [Qi] exploded instantly, both in quality and quantity, far exceeding that of myself, a master of Nen ability who has been training for more than 20 years!

Izanabi, who reacted immediately, wanted to speak and instruct Heather to restrain her [Qi] and achieve [Entanglement], but found that the terrifying Qi had subsided.

The [Qi] as thick as a silent river covered Heather's body and flowed slowly.

In just a blink of an eye, Heather perfectly controlled the Qi and gathered it back into her body, as natural and simple as breathing.

Is this someone who is born with the ability to read?

……monster!

For some reason, Izenabi suddenly felt a sense of fear in his heart. Did he release some terrible monster? If Heather... no, if he really wants to do evil, it will be because of his failure as a teacher. All he needs to do is to try his best to guide this rare genius into the right path!

Izanabi, who was covered in cold sweat, turned his attention to Kurapika, calmed down and spoke:

"Can you see it? This is the Qi in your body, Kurapika. If you just ignore it, all the Qi in your body will drain out very quickly, and then I'm afraid you won't even be able to stand up."

"What to do..."

"Think about retaining your Qi while stabilizing your body."

Izanabi folded his arms and said loudly: "Close your eyes and imagine yourself in any position. Think of [Qi] as blood circulating throughout the body, starting from the top of the head, passing through the right shoulder, hands, feet, and then to the left side, The cycle repeats.”

"Next, imagine that the air flow slows down, gradually stops, and floats around you, forming a wall."

After a few minutes, Kurapika was finally able to control his Qi.

"Yes, many people have failed at this step."

Izanabi rubbed his chin and looked at Kurapika standing in the open space: "How are you doing? How do you feel?"

"It's like wearing weightless clothes wrapped in a viscous liquid."

Kurapika held his hands in wonder, as if he had opened the door to a new world: "Is this [Nian]? It's amazing..."

"Don't be intoxicated. When you can control [Qi] freely even when sleeping, you will have initially reached the standard of [Tang] practice."

Although Izanabi was harsh in his words, he was very optimistic about Kurapika's qualifications. He can learn [Tangle] in a few minutes. This is not something ordinary people can do. He really has the talent of a hunter.

"How is Heather?" Kurapika turned around to look around, and then found Heather sitting cross-legged on the stone. However, he did not see that the latter had condensed thoughts similar to his own, and he couldn't help but worry: "He It won’t fail, right?”

"No……"

Izanabi scratched his head: "Heather has automatically entered the [Absolute] state."

"Absolute!?"

Kurapika is no longer calm. Didn't he say that the practice of the four major practices should be done step by step? Why is it that when I just learned how to tie, he was able to use it perfectly?

"I said, don't compare yourself to Heather, he is different from us."

Izanabi looked serious: "Look, has his sense of existence become very weak? This is because he has tightened and isolated the sperm holes and breath all over his body. As long as he is in this state, he can even hide it from the master of telekinesis. Approaching the blind spot behind him."

At this time, Heather suddenly had a small amount of Qi pouring out from her body covering her whole body. She just sat on the stone and stretched, and saw Kurapika at a glance: "Oh, little Kuku has finished [Tang]? It’s very fast!”

"Uh...thank you for the compliment." Kurapika didn't know whether he should complain or be polite.

Izanabi clapped his hands and asked the two of them to look at him: "You two have successfully opened your mind. The next thing to do is to become familiar with and master [Tang] as much as possible, so that you can control it freely at any time. "

"I will keep an eye on you all the time. After completing this stage of practice, we will move to the next step."
