Chapter 9 Reflection

Time seems to be becoming regular and stable.

I work most of the time during the day and work hard to learn the language of this country. After falling asleep at night, I practice in the space.

It's just that there is not work every day, and the pay is always unequal. Sometimes you may get nothing at the end of the day because there is no work, and sometimes you may only get 200 taels in your account, just to cover your daily food and accommodation expenses.

But overall, life is much better than wandering in the wild, and Bai Ming himself is gradually adapting to it.

In the quiet night, there was still only the sound of drizzle.

During the induction after entering samadhi, the sensed qi became clearer and clearer. At a certain moment, Bai Ming thought, and the extremely clear qi suddenly gave off a pulsating feeling of heartbeat. The machine suddenly curled inwards and turned into a qi machine the size of a soybean appearing in the Dantian.

Qi movement has transformed from emptiness to reality, and has broken away from the concept of pure illusion.

Bai Ming opened his eyes with a look of joy. This time, even if he was not in meditation, he could clearly sense the energy in his Dantian.

At this point, his Vajra Qi cultivation has officially entered the first level, and the subsequent training has become to gradually strengthen the Qi, breed more internal Qi, and then open up the meridians and acupuncture points that need to be circulated.

After the joy, Bai Ming reviewed his cultivation process.

Entering concentration, sensing Qi movement, and condensing seeds.

These three steps were accomplished almost overnight, without encountering too many difficulties. Space analyzed the diamond energy in extremely detailed ways in a form that he could understand. Even if he didn't understand it a little, he could quickly figure it out through trial and error. Cross over.

From the very beginning of practice to the time when he successfully condensed his Qi, only about ten days had passed, and Bai Ming was already very satisfied with this.

“Everything is getting better and will get better!”

He looked at the still dark and hazy sky, his eyes full of hope.

Half a month has passed since it condensed into Qi Seed.

In the evening, a ramen stall hung with lanterns.

After drinking the last mouthful of ramen from the big bowl, Bai Ming put down the bowl and chopsticks with satisfaction, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and looked at the boss.

The ramen stall owner also became familiar with this customer who never spoke and extended two fingers in cooperation. "Sincere benefit is 200 taels, thank you for your patronage!"

Bai Ming nodded silently, feeling a little heartbroken, but he already understood the boss's words. He was the first to learn the words and phrases related to money because of demand.

A bowl of beef bone soup ramen costs 80 taels for a large portion and a portion of fried pork cutlet in the ramen. The total is 100 taels. However, after eating two portions of this kind of ramen, Bai Ming only felt seventy percent full.

He sighed softly in his heart, paid the money, stood up and walked slowly towards the izakaya.

"My appetite has increased again."

Since the Qi Seed was successfully condensed, his food intake has been continuously increasing. Although there is some reason for doing physical labor frequently, the increase in food intake exceeds the physiological needs.

In the past half month, his food intake has gradually increased to about double the original amount. If he only eats vegetarian food, his demand will be even greater.

But in contrast to his food intake, his body was also quietly undergoing some changes.

The first and most obvious thing is his own strength, which has increased slightly compared to before. It will be much easier when doing the same heavy work as before.

Secondly, in terms of physical fitness, because it rains all year round and the climate is humid and cold, I usually feel a little cold no matter how much I wear, but as the Qi condenses, this coldness naturally disappears, and my endurance is also significantly improved. increase.

Bai Mingming understood that after stepping into the first layer of Vajra Qi, the body would naturally become stronger under the nourishment of the inner Qi. As the practice of Vajra Qi increases, this change will continue to be maintained and become larger and larger. The recent increase in food intake means that the body needs more nutrients to strengthen itself.

It's just that the increased food intake made Bai Ming spend more money, and his already poor life became even more constrained, which was simply helpless.

As dusk deepens, there are fewer people walking on the street. The raindrops gather into water lines and flow along the slightly elevated cement floor in the middle to the drainage ditches on both sides. The atmosphere in the town also becomes deserted in the dusk.

Bai Ming was walking through a deserted alley when he heard the sound of fast footsteps suddenly coming from behind, seeming to be running towards him.

Bai Ming didn't pay attention at first, but when he suddenly felt something was wrong, he was kicked hard from behind. He lost his center of gravity and immediately fell forward.

His body fell to the ground in a helter-skelter manner. Before he could react to the pain after the fall, a body pressed down heavily on him, holding down his head and kneeling on his back, stopping his subconscious resistance.

"Be honest!" A vicious voice suddenly grabbed his head and knocked it hard on the ground.

Bai Ming's head was knocked hard several times, and he immediately felt that his vision was dizzy, all the light disappeared, and his brain fell into a blank.

Feeling the strength of Bai Ming's struggle disappearing, the person who attacked Bai Ming immediately started groping for Bai Ming. After groping for the money bag, he showed a hint of joy on his face and took out the money bag and put it in his hand.

"Pooh!"

After spitting on Bai Ming's head, the attacker kicked Bai Ming again, "Damn deaf man, can't you be more honest?"

He glanced at Bai Ming, who was lying motionless on the ground, shook his head and turned around, opened his wallet and checked it as he walked.

"Damn it, why is this the only thing!" Sukeo Ida poured the money from his purse into his hand and looked at seven or eight 100-tael notes and a dozen copper coins.

Just as he was cursing and dissatisfied with this little gain, an arm suddenly came out from behind and strangled his neck.

"Ugh!" The strong suffocating feeling of being compressed on the trachea in his neck immediately reached Sukeo Ita's mind.

He immediately panicked and tried to open his arm, but after his neck was strangled, he couldn't exert force smoothly at all, so he could only use his fingers to grasp the arm in vain.

The person who was strangling his neck seemed to have no intention of letting him go. The power transmitted by his arms did not relax at all but became even stronger.

As more than 30 seconds passed, Sukeo Ita's arms suddenly dropped weakly, and his head fell limply to the side as if it had lost gravity.

one two three four……

Bai Ming was counting silently in his mind. He once read a question on the Internet: How long does it take to strangle someone to death?

The answer is about 1 minute.

The number 120 has passed.

Bai Ming let go of his arm, and Sukeo Ita's body lost its support and fell heavily to the ground without any reaction.

There was a streak of blood in his sight, and he wiped away the blood flowing from his forehead. Bai Ming gasped and turned over the corpse on the ground.The flushed purple face, dilated pupils and tongue hanging out made the face look terrifying. Beside his head were wet banknotes and copper coins.

Bai Ming looked at the dead face with a calm expression and recognized this person as a scoundrel who specialized in extortion in the town.

Judging from his actions after the attack, his purpose seemed clear, just for money.

He knelt down, took out Sukeo Ita's money bag, and then rolled up the wet paper money on the ground into a ball.

One piece, two pieces...first the banknotes, and then the copper coins were all stuffed into Ita Sukeo's mouth.

"Since you like money so much, I will give these to you as money to buy your life. Don't thank me."

Putting all the money into Sukeo Ita's mouth, Bai Ming laughed, but his eyes were full of indifference.

The sky was getting darker, and no one else came in the alley. Bai Ming picked up his money bag, turned around and disappeared into the rainy night.

After returning to the izakaya, he returned to the izakaya through the back door.

When she opened the door, Xiaoqian, the daughter of the owner of the izakaya, was walking through the backyard with a lantern. She was startled when she saw Bai Ming coming in with blood on his head. Bai Ming casually explained to her that he had accidentally fallen and asked her to Prepare yourself a hot bath.

Many things become more convenient when you have money. After more than half an hour, the hot water was boiled. He took off his wet clothes and handed them to Xiao Qian to clean. After putting on dry clothes, Bai Ming returned to his room.

There are a few more pieces of furniture in the room than before, just tables, stools and cups.

Bai Ming sat cross-legged in the room, holding the dagger he had just taken out in his hand. He pulled out the dagger from the sheath. The blade of the dagger with several holes missing shone a pale light in the dark room.

Bai Ming looked at the dagger quietly, and he reflected again, reflecting on the dangers of the world that he had forgotten recently due to his peaceful life.

Since when did I stop carrying it when I go out?

Is it when you think everything will get better and better?

He scoffed, laughing at himself.

A person who is already over [-] years old can still be so naive.

"This world has always been cruel and ungrateful." He whispered to himself. "Indulging in a false and peaceful daily life is equivalent to accepting one's own mediocrity and oppression."

Habit is really a terrible force. It makes me identify with my current life, and makes me feel that this kind of life is very fulfilling every day, without any more desire to change.

But do you really accept it?Accepting that you often do heavy-paying but meager work, always having to worry about missing a meal and the possibility of being kicked out of your residence, accepting that you forget your past, and become a native of this world?

No doubt he wanted none of it.

From a certain perspective, maybe I should be grateful to the gangster who attacked me, because he woke me up from the false peace.

Putting away the dagger again, Bai Ming began to practice the Vajra Qi. The Qi was only slightly larger than when it was first condensed. Recently, his practice has become much more relaxed.

Not only the Vajra Qi, but also the Five Tiger Door-Breaking Sword, but because I thought I was proficient, I just practiced it a few times a day and left the space.

It seems to be just a simple reflection, but it is no more false than killing Mao Shiba in space.After killing a person in the real world, something was different in Bai Ming's heart.
