"Crack"

The long hammer made a loud sound when it landed on the stone. Although Yang Qing tried his best to relax his grip on the white nanmu hammer handle before the hammer head landed on the cold iron ore, he still felt that his hands were numb from the shock.

The slightly dark and childish little face was tense, full of stubbornness, and the teeth were tight, enduring the soreness, numbness and stinging pain, and refused to give up.

It was now evening, and he was the only one still mining the cold iron ore. It wasn't that he was lazy, or that he was too weak to work slowly, but that he mined more cold iron ore than others.

Apart from Yang Qing, there were only a few scattered people wandering around in the Han Iron Mine area.

Most of the morning was spent doing homework for Lu Zhen. There were very few small pieces of cold iron ore scattered on the ground. To complete the homework, he mainly relied on peeling off small pieces from the huge cold iron ore that were suitable for transportation.

Reshipment.

Cold iron ore is harder than rock, and even a piece of it cannot be peeled off even with hundreds of hammers.

The summer evening should have been very hot, but it was chilly in this cold iron mining area. Yang Qing was covered in stinky sweat from breaking and moving the ore. The sweat soaked through his clothes and felt very cold against his body.

Yang Qing's little face showed anxiety. He looked at the sky and endured the fatigue to speed up the movements of his hands. There was no severe punishment for failing to complete the day's homework in one go. If he failed to complete it within ten days, he would be expelled from Hantie Mining Area.

, expelled from Yufeng Sect.

There are less than a hundred outer disciples in the Hantie mining area. Except for the deacons, the other outer disciples have to mine the cold iron ore. The amount of homework is the same, but the speed of completion is different.

Those disciples who entered the innate realm completed their homework in less than an hour. The remaining time was at their own disposal, whether they practiced the "Sixteen Innate Forms" or the "Hua Xi Art" in Hantie Mining Area or elsewhere.

Someone asked.

Yang Qing did half of the homework for Lu Zhen. Lu Zhen felt much more relaxed and completed it in most of a day. He was still in the stone house and had not come out.

"Smash this piece and it's done." Yang Qing raised the long hammer with force. When the long hammer stood up, he pulled the long hammer downwards. The long hammer hit the cold iron ore, and the hard ore appeared.

cracked.

The tools used for mining are a long hammer and a pick with two pointed ends, each of which weighs dozens of kilograms. The hammer head and pickaxe head hit the cold iron ore without any wear. After cleaning, it is like new. This mining

The tools are also extraordinary.

All were smashed into raw ore weighing about sixty or seventy kilograms, and Yang Qing carried it onto the four-wheeled cart. Each piece should not be too big or too small.

While Yang Qing was panting and filling up the four-wheeled cart, one after another the red-bearded horses came to the Hantie Mine, and it was time to hand in their daily homework.

Red-bearded horses are much taller than ordinary horses and have shiny black hair. Except for their long red beards, they are not much different from ordinary horses. Although red-bearded horses are not spiritual beasts, they are spiritual beasts.

But their wisdom is not low. They deliver the four-wheeled cart on time every morning and take the cart away on time in the evening.

One by one, the red-bearded horses came to their respective carts, skillfully tied ropes for themselves, spread their hooves and left the cold iron mining area. Close to a hundred red-bearded horses ran in an orderly manner, without any chaos or collision.

"I have really become a spirit." Yang Qing grinned and sighed at the intelligence of the red horse, and a tired smile appeared on his thin lips. He was so happy at this time that he completed his homework on time. Now, although his arms and waist are sore, they are not

Affecting his mood, he can see hope here.

After dinner, Lu Zhen carefully taught Yang Qing how to read in the stone house. Yang Qing had a respectful attitude and a correct expression. Memorizing fifty words a day was Lu Zhen's rule for him. It was simple, easy to remember, and direct.

Write it in water, and find the more complicated ones in those two books.

At this time, Lu Zhen had already laid down to sleep. Yang Qing was worried that it would affect Lu Zhen's rest, so he moved to the open space outside to practice the "Sixteen Innate Styles". Yang Qing knew very few words in "Hua Xi Jue" and understood

Neither can, let alone cultivation.

"The right leg is arched, the left leg is straight, the legs are drawn inward, the left arm is stretched flat, the palm is turned inward, the right arm is pressed down, and the fingers are raised..." Yang Qing kept changing the body's posture and making corrections.

, the moves he performed gradually became standard, consistent with those recorded in the "Sixteen Innate Moves".

Yang Qing, who had been mining cold iron ore for a day, wanted to lie down in bed early and fall asleep, but he couldn't do that. He was illiterate and didn't understand the words in the "Sixteen Forms of Xiantian" and "Hua Xi Jue".

You can't practice. You spend more time mining raw ore during the day than others, so you don't have much free time to practice.

He could only practice the "Sixteen Innate Postures" when others were resting, to explore and try. The nights in the Hantie mining area were very quiet, and the wild beasts in the mountains all returned to their caves. Only animals that foraged at night could

It would scream a few times from time to time, but it was already inaudible in the cold iron mining area.

The quiet night made Yang Qing feel very peaceful. He had no thoughts in his mind and concentrated on practicing. His progress was obvious.

In the end, Yang Qing, who was extremely tired, had to go back to rest in order to restore his physical strength and spirit.

The days lived like this, ordinary but not ordinary. Yang Qing could feel that he was making progress every day, whether it was mining raw minerals, literacy, or practicing the "Sixteen Innate Movements".

In half a month, Yang Qing was able to recognize all the words in "Xiantian Sixteen Movements" and "Hua Xi Jue". The biggest improvement was that Yang Qing was finally able to accurately understand all the sixteen movements in "Xiantian Sixteen Movements"

Use it correctly.

Accurately playing the "Sixteen Xiantian Forms" means that Yang Qing has entered the threshold of the Xiantian realm.

Yang Qing understood what the innate realm is after watching "Sixteen Forms of Xiantian" and "Hua Xijue".

The innate is divided into three heavens, which open up the main meridians of the whole body. The true energy circulates continuously in the meridians and circulates continuously.

The first level of innate heaven opens up the twelve main meridians including the three yang meridians of the hands, the three yin meridians of the hands, the three yang meridians of the feet, and the three yin meridians of the feet. These twelve meridians are spread throughout the limbs, five organs and six internal organs of the human body. The first level of innate heaven opens up the twelve meridians.

After the meridians have passed, the practitioner can rest in the womb.

The second level of the innate world opens up the eight extraordinary meridians including the Du meridian, the Ren meridian, the Chong meridian, the Dai meridian, the Yinwei meridian, the Yangwei meridian, the Yinqiao meridian, the Yangqiao meridian, and the extra-meridian extraordinarily strange meridians.

The Du Meridian and the Ren Meridian are the main ones. Once opened, the Ren and Du Meridians will meet at the Baihui Point. When the Baihui Point is opened, the spiritual roots will attract the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into the body.

In the third level of the congenital world, the spiritual roots guide the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into the body, and by practicing with the mind method, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth circulates in the meridians, and it circulates continuously and turns into true essence.

What is spiritual root is explained in detail in "Hua Xi Jue". Everyone is born from the mother's womb and has a wisp of innate vitality in the Dantian. There are many attributes of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, etc. in the world.

, this innate vitality has the attribute of spiritual root.

Spiritual roots are innate vitality, and innate vitality is not necessarily spiritual roots. Spiritual roots have attributes of heaven and earth and can resonate with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Whether you have spiritual roots and what attributes your spiritual roots have are closely related to your bloodline.

Monks practice to seek immortality and to become immortals. What they practice is the human soul and innate vitality.

The role of the soul cannot be overstated. Without the soul, a person becomes a walking corpse, looking like a dead corpse. This innate vitality is stored in the Dantian, providing vitality and nourishing the body. The innate vitality in the Dantian of mortals will change with age.

It is gradually consumed as it increases, and finally disappears. Without the innate vitality, the human body will lose its vitality and age, and the human body can no longer retain the soul.

If the physical body is full of vitality but the soul is not nourished, it will gradually weaken and eventually dissipate. No matter how powerful the physical body is, it will be useless.

In short, if one of the soul and innate vitality is missing, a person will die.

As a monk's cultivation level improves, the monk's soul and innate vitality will gradually become stronger, which will make the monk's life span very long, and powerful monks can live for thousands of years.

In the innate realm, the spiritual energy of the weather enters the body, which not only nourishes the spiritual roots, but also turns into true essence. True essence makes the monks stronger.

The monks of the third level of Xiantian can possess huge power by circulating their true energy. This alone makes people flock to them.

Invoking the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to refine it into true essence, which is called Qi refining. It is an orthodox cultivation system recognized in the world of cultivation. The various differences among Qi refining practitioners are due to differences in their techniques and personal opportunities and circumstances.

Of course, there are many ways to achieve the same goal. Cultivation is not just a system of refining Qi. There is also a system called body refining. Body refining is to nourish the innate vitality with the physical body. This is reflected in the theory of spiritual roots in "Hua Xi Jue"

He only mentioned one sentence, and that was all Yang Qing knew.

The third level of innateness is only the foundation. After innateness, there is also the realm of sea of ​​consciousness. Monks who reach the realm of sea of ​​consciousness will not only increase their lifespan, but also be able to use extraordinary powerful spells.

However, reaching the realm of the sea of ​​consciousness is much more difficult than opening up the twelve main meridians and the eight extraordinary meridians.

In this half month, Yang Qing understood the meaning of practicing the "Sixteen Innate Moves". The moves of these sixteen moves are not used for offense, fighting or defense.

It uses moves to fully stretch, squeeze, twist, vibrate, etc. to temper the skeletal muscles, thereby achieving the effect of opening up the meridians.

Then cooperate with "Hua Xi Jue" to temper, strengthen the five internal organs and six internal organs, and open up the heart meridian, lung meridian and other meridians.

There are only sixteen moves in "Xiantian Sixteen Moves", but some moves are extremely slow to perform, some moves require a few breaths of stillness, and some moves require as fast as an arrow leaving the string, which makes it difficult to defeat these sixteen moves.

It takes a stick of incense.

After half a month, Yang Qing's arms have become much thicker and stronger than before. Now he can pick up a hundred kilograms of raw ore with a single effort, and the mining speed is also much faster.

Lu Zhen has half a day of free time every day. During this half-month's free time, Lu Zhen has been studying the "Sixteen Innate Forms" in the stone house. He mastered the "Sixteen Innate Forms" one day earlier than Yang Qing.

Yang Qing was truly grateful to Lu Zhen for teaching him how to read. Even though Lu Zhen didn't have any words to teach him now, Yang Qing still agreed to help him with his homework for a while. He would teach him whatever words Lu Zhen could think of.

If you can repay Lu Zhen's favor, it won't matter if you work a little harder. At least this will give you peace of mind. This is Yang Qing's true thought. After all, Lu Zhen could only teach him ten words a day at the beginning. In this way, Yang Qing

I had no choice but to nod in agreement.

The twenty teenagers who came to Hantie Mining Area together have become familiar with each other during this time. There are not too many strange sentiments among these teenagers, so it is relatively easy to get along with them.

Yang Qing, the more senior disciple, has only had few contacts, and has never spoken to each other when mining raw ore every day. They are not familiar with each other, and there is no conflict of interest, so they can get along peacefully.

"Yang Qing, do you know how this cold iron ore was formed?" That evening, when Yang Qing had just finished mining the cold iron ore and returned to the stone house after washing himself, Lu Zhen said to Yang Qing mysteriously.
