Alternative cards

Chapter 24 Departure

Soma City is located in the north of Mai Country. It snows a lot in winter, and it is normal to stay at home.

After the three-day blizzard passed, there was a vast expanse of whiteness outside the window, and the snow was as thick as knees, and it was very strenuous to walk around.Xu Luning gets up early, he can't cook, but he can still go to the cellar to get vegetables, let the old people and children climb up and down in the cellar, while he stands aside and does nothing. That's not his style. The good idea of ​​respecting the old and the young has penetrated into his concept.

The breakfast for the three of them is porridge and bread, a combination of Chinese and Western, and it can't be better.

When there is nothing to do, Xu Luning needs to hold the brick book he brought here to study, while Zeng Zihan sits at the side and practices the characters that Xu Luning taught him to write.

Just as they were busy with their own affairs, the shouts sounded outside, slightly excited.

Zeng Zihan who heard the sound put down his pen and climbed on the window sill to look out. Xu Luning lost his mind to read, so he followed Zeng Zihan's example and climbed on the window sill.

"I'm back, village chief, village chief, Jiaming is back!"

Xu Luning was puzzled: "Who is Jiaming?"

Uncle Zeng said with a smile: "It's the eldest son of the village chief. He hasn't been back to the village for the New Year for many years. There are only occasional phone calls and gifts sent back. Regardless of the village chief's scenery, their family is most worried about this eldest son. .”

Xu Luning said, "Is his son engaged in a high-risk occupation?"

Uncle Zeng sighed: "Card master is not a high-risk occupation. Although he gets a lot of money, it is all for people who work hard. The village does not recommend young people to learn card skills, let alone them. in this profession."

After it was over, Uncle Zeng glanced at Zeng Zihan, which was very meaningful. Xu Luning knew that he probably didn't want this kid to touch cards when he grew up.

Xu Luning rubbed Zeng Zihan's head, the little guy said with a smile: "Uncle Jia Ming must be very powerful, Peng Peng said that Uncle Jia Ming can breathe fire and release animals from the card to protect them!"

From this point of view, the village did not reject the profession of a card master, but rather did not want his family to take risks. Uncle Zeng must have known what book he was reading, and Xu Luning didn't say anything.

After coming to the Red Village, none of the villagers that Xu Luning met mentioned card masters, even Uncle Zeng never told him about it. As for the books he read, they were probably regarded as fun, after all, there was nothing in Uncle Zeng’s house. Entertainment, not even a TV.

Different countries have different levels of wealth and quality of life.

Abo Zeng asked softly, "Zihan, what do you want to do when you grow up?"

Zeng Zihan answered his grandfather without hesitation: "Grandpa, I want to be a card player when I grow up, earn a lot of money like Uncle Jiaming and go home and buy a lot of delicious food for my grandfather!"

At this time, Uncle Zeng still smiled, he patted the little guy's tender face and said: "I just know how to eat."

The grandfather and grandson interacted on the side, and Xu Luning fell into his own thoughts.

After waking up this morning, he could feel his mental strength gradually recovering.But when he tried to use his mental power, he felt weak and sore in his limbs, and felt that his tendons were all blocked, and his mental power could not pass through his body.

Although he no longer thinks about unreliable things like the game world, but skills still have to be learned, those who are incapable and the weak can only be beaten.That night, while Zeng Zihan was asleep, Xu Luning sat up and studied the totem on his left arm by the moonlight.

Under the moonlight, the totem has become more and more obvious.Afterwards, Xu Luning's eyes widened, the system automatically turned on, and the tendons icon that had been in the gray state had turned into a blue state, and he couldn't wait to click on the tendons map.

After clicking in, the name of the tendons and veins diagram that popped up on the screen was a little familiar to me: Zhenqi movement method.

What the hell is going on, what a mess.

After some research, Xu Luning finally found relevant instructions in the system. The system that was no longer so cheating finally responded, but it didn't take long for Xu Luning to discover that the system was only more cheating!The Qi movement method is actually the meridian map in traditional Chinese culture. According to legend, the two meridians of Ren and Du are opened up. In the body, the dantian is the part of long-term attention. After the governor is opened, all meridians are opened one after another.

In any case, Xu Luning had no reason not to believe in the system. If it wasn't for the system, he would have been killed by man-eating spiders like those two card masters.

According to the system instructions, Xu Luning sat cross-legged.

The first step is to exhale and pay attention to the heart socket.Practice for three to five days, and feel a stream of heat flow into the heart socket every time you exhale for about ten days.

In the second step, the mind and breath follow the direction of the pubic region. When exhaling, extend the sinking effort, slowly and naturally advance to the pubic region, and the qi will sink to the pubic field in about ten days.

The third step is to adjust the breath and concentrate on guarding the dantian.When there is a clear sense of qi in the immediate dantian, you can stop the breath in the dantian consciously or unconsciously.This stage is to cultivate strength in the dantian, and it takes a long time. Qi mounds begin to form in the lower abdomen, and the dantian can be felt full and powerful in about forty days.

The fourth step is to pass the supervision and forget to come back and don't help.After the governor channel is unobstructed, exhale the true energy into the dantian, and inhale the true energy into the mind, forming a Rendu cycle, which is the so-called "Little Zhoutian". The supervising time is generally about seven days, which varies from person to person.

The fifth step is to accumulate energy and cultivate vitality.The dantian is the place where the mind is kept for a long time, and after the governor was passed, all the meridians were opened one after another.The kung fu is proficient and refined, the meridians are unobstructed, and the various touching phenomena produced during the practice gradually calm down, and the tranquility becomes deeper, manifested as clear and quiet, and the heart is like still water, which belongs to the advanced stage of the movement of true energy.

In fact, this is the explanation of qigong practice. "Jianghu War" is a game that started with the background of ancient rivers and lakes. Naturally, there is no lack of basic exercises.Being so frightened by the man-eating spider really gave Xu Luning a way to learn, and at the same time pointed out a path and direction for Xu Luning. Regardless of 21, he had to learn first, anyway, he did not fail to use his mental power normally.

Before he knew it, Xu Luning sat until dawn.According to the system's instructions, breathing became regular, and Xu Luning gradually felt the so-called heat flow. It didn't take three to five days for him to complete the first step in one night.

It is estimated that this has something to do with the mental power he has cultivated before, maybe the spiritual power he thinks is actually true energy?It's just another way of saying it, but it seems to be different.

The refreshed Xu Luning took a deep breath, he could feel that his body was lighter than yesterday, and his body didn't feel cold as before when he got out of bed.

From this point of view, it really has something to do with his qigong practice.

It was not Xu Luning who got up the earliest, but Uncle Zeng. He was a little surprised to see that Xu Luning got up early today.

The two worked together to make breakfast, and Zeng Zihan woke up when they were about to finish breakfast. The little guy was cute, with innocence written on his bun face.

After the three had breakfast, they shoveled snow together in front of the door. Xu Luning and Zeng Abo were in charge of shoveling, and Zeng Zihan was in charge of playing.

Halfway through the snow-sweeping activity, there were people outside the yard. It was the youngest son of the village head. He came to invite them to have dinner at the village head's house. It was said that it was to celebrate the return of their eldest son.Zeng Abo did not refuse, and told the village chief's youngest son that they would be there at some point.

Although Xu Luning has seen a lot of card masters, it is a joy to be able to find a card master in a sparsely populated place. High-risk occupations will always make more money. You still have to stick to it, and it would be a fool not to take advantage of it.

Zeng Zihan, who was locked up at home for a few days, was in a good mood when he heard that he was going out to play. He didn't even care about his grandfather not letting him go to play with the children at noon. In the evening, there were more children playing together. The village chief There are still a lot of candies and chocolates at home, and snacks are his favorite.

Xu Luning, who was temporarily settled in Zeng's house, was naturally also invited. The village chief liked him a lot as a young man, and liked the ruthlessness with which he beat people, like a little wolf cub.

After the blizzard, the quiet village became lively again.

The village chief’s house is where brothers and dancers live, not to mention how lively it is. As soon as they arrived at the gate of the courtyard, the three of Xu Luning felt a gentle heat wave hitting them. The old and the young may not feel it, but no matter what Xu Luning said He is also a person who stepped into the ranks of card masters, he can feel it.

In this way, the card master level of Chen Jiaming, the eldest son of the village chief's family, would not be too low.

This is not the first time for Xu Luning to come to the village head. Although his house is not the most luxurious in the whole village, it is the most exquisitely organized in the whole village. Even the size of the gate is very particular.

All kinds of snacks and barbecues were placed on the long table for everyone to take by themselves, including mutton, beef and pork. Xu Luning, who had rarely seen meat in the past two months, swallowed involuntarily.

Although it was the first step to learn how to use zhenqi to run the exercises, Xu Luning hadn't learned how to restrain his qi. After he appeared, Chen Jiaming, who was being held up by the villagers, noticed him.

Chen Jiaming looks like a village head, all of them are dark skinned, tall and strong. Many girls know that he is not married, and they keep giggling around him, hoping to be noticed by this. Being able to marry a card player is also a good idea This kind of honor, at least wealth is not a problem.

Xu Luning, who was noticed, had just finished eating a chicken paw, and a tall and strong Chen Jiaming stood in front of him. Xu Luning quickly wiped his hands with a tissue, and the other party smiled heartily.

"Brother Lu Ning, are you eating well?" Chen Jiaming sat next to him.

Xu Luning gave a thumbs up without hesitation: "The taste is very good, thank you for the hospitality."

Chen Jiaming is a straightforward person. He must have seen Xu Luning's ability to come here. He said bluntly: "I can feel that you are also a card master. Your level is not very high now."

Seen through at a glance, Xu Luning nodded calmly: "Yes, I have learned about card masters before, but I came here for other reasons, and I quite like life here."

Chen Jiaming said: "Do you live in poverty without even wearing warm clothes?"

Xu Luning: "..."

Chen Jiaming added: "If you want to find a job, you can come to me. Our team is short of people. The salary is good, the insurance is complete, and there are monthly bonuses and bonuses at the end of the year."

Xu Luning: "..." From another point of view, has he actually been poached like this?A vegetable seller turned into a half-hearted card master?

Xu Luning didn't nod or shake his head. He knew how much he weighed, and his abilities fluctuated. He might be fired within two days of working for someone else, so he didn't even think about getting paid.

Chen Jiaming, who had just arrived home for two days, only heard about Xu Luning from his father. After seeing him, he was convinced that he was a card master, so he would say these things to him. If it were someone else, he would not be interested in saying them.

It is hard to find talents, and it is not easy to recruit workers.

In fact, Xu Luning was thinking, which meant that there was room for it. Chen Jiaming patted Xu Luning on the shoulder: "Think carefully, I will leave after the Chinese New Year, if you want to leave and go outside, you can come to me at any time, follow Brother, I guarantee that you will eat delicious food and drink spicy food."

After Chen Jiaming left, Xu Luning silently gnawed on a chicken paw.

It is indeed inappropriate to continue to stay in the village, and it is even more unsuitable to rely on Uncle Zeng's old roots. With the system, he really needs to practice. Only when he becomes stronger can he be respected and not bullied.

To go or not to go is just a thought.

Half a month later, Xu Luning bid farewell to Aunt Zeng and Zihan Zeng, and followed Chen Jiaming to another city with the backpack he came with.

Started his career as a card mercenary.
