Words must die [Comprehensive martial arts]

The so-called retreat actually refers to closing the five senses and entering a state of meditation.

At the beginning of the retreat, you need to get rid of all distracting thoughts, completely empty your mind, and enter the realm of harmony between man and nature.

This point may be difficult for others, but for Gu Shenyan, it is a piece of cake. The experience of practicing Taoism in Chunyang Palace for nearly [-] years gave him an innate advantage in this aspect.

The real difficulty is to keep it that way.

People are born with seven emotions and six desires, and will produce various emotions, and retreat is a process that tests patience and perseverance. During this process, any emotional fluctuations will be magnified.

Emotions are difficult to control, you can only restrain as much as possible.

This step has extremely high requirements on the state of mind. Only those with a strong enough state of mind can be less or even unaffected by emotions and remain calm all the time.

Afterwards, it is to run the internal force to fill the limbs and bones, circulate through the meridians, and finally flow into the dantian here.

This process needs to be repeated until the dantian is full of internal energy before entering the next stage - Tongmai.

There are twelve meridians and eight extraordinary meridians in the human body. The more meridians are opened up, the more internal force will be generated in the dantian, and the faster the internal force will run.

But the process of Tongmai is very complicated and dangerous.

Each meridian has a different number of acupoints all over it. If you want to open up the meridian, you must first open up the acupoints on this meridian one by one.

The complication lies in the fact that fragile acupoints cannot withstand the impact of too much internal force, and the speed must be grasped to ensure that the acupoints will not be hurt while opening the acupoints.

The danger is that the process of unblocking the meridians must be done in one go, and must not be abandoned halfway.

Once exhausted in the middle, or a mistake occurs, it means that the breakthrough has failed.

It would be fine if it was just exhausted, although it would be impossible to continue to break through, but at least it would not be backlashed.

But if the failure is caused by a mistake, it will definitely cause backlash and suffer minor or severe internal injuries.

If the injury is mild, it may take three to five days to heal. If the injury is serious, it may not be able to recover within a year or so.

……

Gu Shenyan was mentally prepared to fail the breakthrough before retreating, so during the breakthrough process, his mentality was very peaceful.

It's all about doing your best, and enough is enough.

He didn't think about how many acupoints he had to get through before he could break through, he just thought about getting through one by one, and when he felt exhausted, he would stop in time, so that he wouldn't suffer backlash.

But perhaps because of this, his breakthrough this time was exceptionally smooth.

It went so smoothly that when Gu Shenyan opened up the last acupuncture point, he didn't react at all.

It wasn't until he felt that the internal energy in his dantian that was about to be exhausted suddenly became full again, that he realized belatedly...that he had actually broken through?

To be honest, for a moment, Gu Shenyan suspected that he might be hallucinating.

But after carefully feeling the speed at which his internal force was running, he happily accepted this fact.

In any case, it is always a good thing to be able to break through successfully!

Although the success came so suddenly that Gu Shenyan was a little at a loss, but right now, the most important thing is to tell everyone the good news.

I don't know what time it is now, but it's still early according to the sky... Gu Shenyan got up from the futon, stretched his hands and feet, and thought about going to the city later, to buy some jugs of good wine, and some fresh vegetables Prepare a table of sumptuous food for everyone with chicken, duck and fish.

Especially Huamanlou and Yidianhong who have worked so hard to protect themselves these days.

You have to give me some comfort.

The down-to-earth Boss Gu expresses his gratitude in such a simple and rude way-what can express his heart better than cooking a table of delicious food with his own hands for friends to enjoy together?

"That's right, Brother Gu, your idea is very good!"

Luckily, Lu Xiaofeng, who happened to come to the store on the day when Gu Shenyan was leaving the customs, fully agreed with this.

"Between friends, thanking you is too extravagant, giving money is too vulgar, and it's more realistic to treat guests to dinner."

"I think you're just hungry." After Gu Shenyan habitually teased him, he asked curiously, "How did you come back in such a short time?"

Including the few days of preparation before the retreat, Gu Shenyan only spent a total of more than 20 days for this retreat, less than a month.

And Lu Xiaofeng left the desert at least a month later than him.

Therefore, according to Gu Shenyan's prediction, Lu Xiaofeng's arrival in Jiangnan should be at least ten days and a half months later.

Even if it is fast all the way, it will not be able to advance so much in advance.

Lu Xiaofeng stroked his beard pretending to be mysterious and pondered for a while, then replied under Baozi's urging: "I was able to come back so quickly because I traveled with Xiangshuai and took a boat."

It is definitely faster to go by water than by land.

So not only was Lu Xiaofeng able to come back early, but he didn't suffer much along the way, which was much easier than Gu Shenyan and Yidianhong.

Gu Shenyan raised his eyebrows, his expression slightly surprised: "Didn't Chu Liuxiang stay in Lanzhou for a while after leaving the desert?"

"That's the way it should be."

Speaking of this matter, the expression on Lu Xiaofeng's face was a bit subtle.

Logically speaking, the three of Yanxianghua and Yanxianghua reunited again after many years, and experienced this trip to the desert together. After the incident, even if that awkward guy Ji Bingyan would not take the initiative to ask to stay, Chu Liuxiang would definitely stay in Lanzhou City. Stay awhile and hang out with old friends more often.

——Lu Xiaofeng also thought so at first.

In other words, in the eyes of everyone, this is a matter of course.

After all, their trip could go so smoothly without the help of Ji Bingyan.

The reason why Ji Bingyan got involved in this matter was because she wanted to help Chu Liuxiang save the three daughters of Su Rongrong.

With Chu Liuxiang's way of doing things, even if he has something to do afterwards and cannot stay longer in Lanzhou, at least he will invite his old friends to have a glass of wine to express his gratitude.

No matter what, you shouldn't rush to leave as soon as you leave the desert.

but……

Sometimes, the development of some things is always not as expected.

Lu Xiaofeng, with a delicate expression, was silent for a moment, and then continued: "To sum up this matter, it's probably caused by flirtatiousness."

When Gu Shenyan and the others heard him say these words, they were also in a delicate mood.

I really want to know what kind of complicated emotions Lu Xiaofeng was carrying when he said these words?

Have you ever felt a pain in your knee?

"You guys... can you not be so obvious with your expressions of watching a good show!"

Lu Xiaofeng's mood was indeed a bit complicated, after all what happened to Chu Liuxiang really easily reminded him of himself.

But stubborn Lu Xiaofeng would not admit this!

He slapped the table and threatened: "Do you still want to continue listening? If you want to, restrain yourself a little bit."

... the requirements are also very low.

Lu Xiaofeng: Hugging and remembering with distress.jpg

Out of curiosity about this matter, or out of a desire to gossip, Gu Shenyan and the others cooperated and restrained their expressions, putting on a posture of listening attentively.

Seeing this, Lu Xiaofeng continued to talk in satisfaction.

The cause of the incident started with Heizhuzhu's decision to leave the desert with Chu Liuxiang.

The ambiguity between these two people actually started long before Gu Shenyan left. One is a gentle and affectionate romantic with countless beauties, and the other is a lovable and pretty woman who has suffered accidents. The two get along day and night. Mutual love is a very normal thing.

It was nothing.

Although the three daughters of Su Rongrong were a little jealous, they were not intolerable.

After all, Chu Liuxiang has traveled the rivers and lakes for so many years, and has had countless confidante and dew relationships, too many to count.

The three daughters of Su Rongrong have long been used to it, or in other words, they are helpless.

Their demands are actually not many, no matter how much Chu Liuxiang flirts with women outside, as long as he will go home and return to the boat that only belongs to the four of them, as long as they are the most special in Chu Liuxiang's heart existence is enough.

But this balance was broken by the appearance of the black pearl.

It doesn't matter if Chu Liuxiang wants to leave the desert with the black pearl, but he absolutely shouldn't, he wants to bring the black pearl back to the boat.

To Su Rongrong and the three daughters, that boat is like home, sacred and inviolable.

It is also the reason and motivation for them to persist in this relationship for so many years, no matter how sad or hopeless they are.

So this time, Su Rongrong and the three daughters finally couldn't bear it anymore.

A fierce quarrel broke out between them and Chu Liuxiang, and the precarious friendship with Heizhu also completely collapsed.

On the way out of the desert, the conflict between Su Rongrong's three daughters and Chu Liuxiang has never been resolved, and even intensified, reaching the point of 'breaking'.

The three daughters of Su Rongrong said that if Chu Liuxiang insisted on bringing the black pearl home, the three of them would choose to leave.

Of course Chu Liuxiang cared more about Su Rongrong's three daughters, so he gave up his plan to bring the black pearl back to the boat.

But he is always soft-hearted and indecisive in front of women.

As soon as Heizhu cried, he hesitated again.

I really can't calm down and tell this matter.

Things have come to such a point that it has almost become an endless loop.

Chu Liuxiang repeatedly hesitated between the three daughters of Su Rongrong and Hei Zhu, but he could not persuade the three daughters of Su Rongrong to accept Hei Zhu, nor could he bear to leave Hei Zhu alone in a foreign land.

Of course, the reason why Chu Liuxiang has been procrastinating and not giving an accurate answer to both parties may not be due to luck.

He has long been spoiled by the three daughters of Su Rongrong, thinking that no matter what, the three daughters of Su Rongrong will always compromise with him in the end.

But the three daughters of Su Rongrong really made up their minds this time.

On the day they left the desert, they set a deadline for Chu Liuxiang, and Chu Liuxiang had to make a decision on that day.

Chu Liuxiang wanted to repeat the old trick this time, but it didn't work out. Su Rongrong and the three daughters actually did what they said, without any hesitation, they packed their bags on the spot, got on their horses and left.

"...That's why Chu Liuxiang didn't stay in Lanzhou too much."

He was busy chasing Su Rongrong and the third daughter.

Of course, this time, he didn't put on the black pearl again.

After finally explaining the whole story, the dry mouthed Lu Xiaofeng hastily picked up the teapot and drank several cups of tea one after another before recovering.

"This incident tells us that men who are too carefree usually end up with nothing good."

Gu Shenyan, with an old father mentality, seriously warned Baozi: "When you grow up, don't be like Chu Liuxiang and Lu Xiaofeng, and be a good man who treats feelings exclusively."

Huamanlou and Yidianhong nodded in agreement.

In the end, Lu Xiaofeng, who still couldn't escape, said: ...I'm so tired.

My knee hurts too_(:з」∠)_
