Chapter 30 Chapter 30 “Delicious, delicious…
"Delicious, delicious!" Chongxu stroked his beard and gnawed on a chicken leg, his face full of enjoyment.
The chicken leg tasted ordinary, but as long as he thought that it was presented to him by his only disciple, he felt comfortable all over.
"How do you feel after reading it?" He asked WW who was flipping through the Chongxu forbidden book.
WW had been sitting there looking at it for a long time. She replied with a serious expression, "I don't understand."
The words on it looked like scribbles, but she could understand the words just like she could understand a giant's speech.
But when these words were put together, she couldn't understand them at all.
Chongxu was surprised. "What don't you understand?"
WW closed the book, "I don't understand anything."
Chongxu: "You can't read?!"
WW: "I can read, but this book says that the Qi sinks into the Dantian, and the internal energy circulates throughout the body. Where is the Dantian?"
As a modern person, she really couldn't understand the above text, and this was the simplest one.
How on earth could she sink her energy into that damn Dantian?
The best she could do was to hold the air in her lungs.
Chongxu put down the chicken leg bone he had chewed. He didn't expect that his apprentice couldn't even understand such a simple thing.
"Dantian is three inches below your navel," he said, extending his hand. "Come, give me your hand."
WW extended her hand, and Chongxu wiped his oily hands on his clothes, then put his hand on her wrist.
"I'll send you a little bit of internal energy, please feel it carefully."
WW frowned, feeling a warmth flowing from the meridians in her wrist to her collarbone, and then slowly sinking down.
It feels like a stream of warm water is flowing in the body.
"This is your lower dantian," Chongxu said, continuing to control the internal force to move upwards.
"This is your vital point!"
WW closed his eyes and felt it with his heart, and felt as if there was another person's internal view in his mind.
"This is your upper dantian," Chongxu said, still holding his hand. "This is how your internal energy circulates throughout your body. Do you understand?"
"Is this internal force? How amazing!" WW said in surprise. She could feel the warm current flowing through her body, but she didn't seem to know how to control it.
Chongxu nodded and smiled, "That's right. Try to feel it, imagine it flowing through your body, and then slowly guide it to sink into your Dantian."
WW closed his eyes and concentrated on feeling the inner force.
At first, she could only feel it flowing freely within her, but over time, she began to try to guide it.
She imagined the warm current like a stream, slowly flowing to the spot three inches below her navel.
"Very good, that's it." Chongxu encouraged, "Now, try to circulate this internal energy throughout your body, and then let it return to your Dantian."
WW followed Chongxu's instructions and carefully guided the internal energy to flow through his body.
She felt the internal energy flowing through her meridians, sometimes smoothly, sometimes blocked.
Whenever she encountered a blockage, she would slow down and use her mind to clear it.
After some effort, WW finally succeeded in making the internal energy circulate in his body, and then slowly sank into his Dantian.
She opened her eyes and said excitedly, "I really can control my inner strength now."
It turns out she can also learn martial arts!
Oh my God!
This feeling was completely different from when she saw her master using his internal energy just now. When she saw her master using his internal energy, she just thought that this was how people in the martial arts world should be.
But when she actually tried it herself, it proved that she could really learn martial arts.
The experience is very different.
[Wait! How did you learn this?]
[I learned from them too. I understand now. It must be because I don’t have any internal energy!!!]
[So where exactly is the upper dantian, and where is the mingmen? Ahhhhhh! I don't understand.]
[Don't learn randomly, or you might go astray.]
[What are you afraid of? We don't even have any internal energy. No matter how hard we try, we won't be able to produce anything. We won't go crazy.]
"But Master, how can I possess inner strength?" WW asked.
Chongxu looked at her and thought that the disciple he had accepted was indeed of extraordinary talent.
Although I had his guidance just now, there are still very few people who can circulate their internal energy on their own in such a short time.
Chongxu picked up another chicken leg and started chewing it. "If you want to have internal strength, you must first change the way you breathe..."
He spoke word by word. At first, his words were very simple and easy to understand, but later they became more profound.
WW also found it difficult to listen, but she still followed along and learned.
No matter what, if you have a master to teach you but don’t work hard, it would be a complete waste!
Noon.
Chi Baitao took a tour of the Chen Mansion under the guidance of Mrs. Chen. The Chen Mansion was indeed luxurious, covering an area of several thousand square meters.
But she just took a quick stroll around the back garden and looked at where she was going to live next.
During this period, she also took a few photos of Mrs. Chen, and Mrs. Chen was indeed very satisfied.
Then he generously rewarded her with a jade bracelet and a pair of gold earrings.
Chi Baitao almost treated her as her own mother from another world.
After lunch, Master Chen finally approached her again. "Did Madam say you had a great time shopping today?"
Chi Baitao smiled and said, "The Chen Mansion is very grand, with pavilions and terraces arranged in an orderly manner, and the carved beams and painted buildings are exquisitely crafted."
"Chi is very lucky to be able to step into this place."
Master Chen T was indeed in a very good mood after being praised by her. "Is the food in the mansion to your liking?"
Chi Baitao nodded, "Of course it's excellent."
"Great, great," Master Chen was delighted. "I heard Miss Chi say this morning that she knows a little about mechanical engineering. Could you give her some pointers?"
Chi Baitao raised an eyebrow and asked, "I wonder what Master Chen wants my advice on?"
Mr. Chen put his hands behind his back and said, "To be honest, I work for the Imperial Palace. The former Emperor loved jade, and I offered him a lot."
"But now that His Majesty has just ascended the throne, he doesn't care about jade and prefers to care about people's livelihood and farming."
"I just thought it would be great if I could help His Majesty share his worries. Do you have any ideas for how to help?"
He had originally offered jade to His Majesty, but His Majesty rejected it on the grounds that it was a waste of money and effort.
The newly appointed little emperor was not as easy to serve as the previous one.
But it is easier to get things done with the support of imperial power. The reason why he can stand firm in the world is because he has the royal family behind him.
So, he immediately started thinking about how to flatter the emperor... Ugh, dragon fart.
Then Mr. Chen listened to the advice of the guests in his mansion and decided to start with the hoes used by the common people to dig the ground.
But they thought about it for a long time but couldn't come up with a name. Mr. Chen was feeling bored recently and met Chi Baitao today.
Since this person can even use mechanical engineering to replace painting, I wonder if she has any way to do farming.
When Chi Baitao heard this, she thought that this emperor sounded good.
Favoring farming for the people's livelihood is for the people's benefit.
"Speaking of people's livelihood..." Chi Baitao pondered and said, "I wonder if Mr. Chen could take me to the fields to have a look?"
"I do have some ideas in my mind, but I don't know if they can be used."
[I feel like the anchor is making a lot of money. This Chen family is really a wealthy family.]
[Next time I'll come here for free.]
[This emperor actually dislikes jade, which sounds like he's quite frugal.]
[No wonder Master Chen is so rich, but how did he get to be so close to the emperor?]
Is this the so-called "leading by example"? The previous emperor liked jade, so Master Chen looked for that. The current emperor likes people's livelihood, so he works on it. He's desperately trying to cling to the emperor's leg.
[What our boss needs is a subordinate like Mr. Chen. It's hilarious.]
When Master Chen heard her say that she had an idea, he immediately ordered the housekeeper, "Prepare the carriage and go to my farm!"
"Miss Chi, please."
It didn't take too long to get from Chen's house to his farm. It would take at most half a day by carriage.
By the time Zhuangzi arrived, it was already dusk.
"Miss Chi, please look," Master Chen didn't care that the mud on the ground had stained his robe. He would do anything as long as it could solve the problem.
Chi Baitao looked at the farmers who were still working in the fields. They were wearing coarse cloth clothes with their sleeves and trouser legs rolled up.
They were holding iron hoes in their hands, and it seemed that iron ore should not be scarce in this world.
There were also farmers driving oxen with plows harnessed to them.
Chi Baitao's eyes swept across the fields and she noticed that although the farmers' movements were skilled, their efficiency was not high.
She knew that in this era, agricultural technology was still relatively backward, and farmers mostly relied on human and animal power for farming. This method was not only hard work, but also had limited yields.
Chi Baitao squatted down and observed the things in the field. "What are you planting?"
Master Chen followed Chi Baitao's gaze and replied, "This is wheat. Now that the weather is cold, we want to harvest it before winter comes."
He didn't think Chi Baitao was so ignorant. He could tell at a glance that she was delicate and tender, and probably never worked in the fields.
But everyone has their own expertise, and maybe her specialty is mechanical engineering.
Chi Baitao nodded, stood up and thought about how to use mechanical technology to improve farming efficiency.
After a long moment, she said, "Master Chen, I have some ideas. Perhaps we can make some simple mechanisms to help with farming."
"For example, there is a plow that turns the soil more deeply and requires less physical effort from the farmer."
——
In the stone cave.
Xi Qing and Bie Yinian were pushed into the cell by some cursing bad guys.
The prison was surrounded by black iron, and there were thick chains embedded in the stone walls.
The bad guys tied them both up and then closed the cell door with an unhappy look on their faces.
"Just wait here and starve to death!"
Xi Qing lowered her head and said nothing, as if she already knew her own ending and looked a little sad.
But only after the bad guys left did she smile excitedly.
"Hahahaha! Prison experience!"
The cell was very dark, and Bie Yinian could hardly see where Xi Qing was. He thought for a moment and banged his head against the wall.
All of a sudden, he turned into a giant light bulb.
"Quick, point the live broadcast ball at me so I can take a screenshot and post it on WeChat Moments."
Seeing this, Xi Qing also bumped her head against the two human-shaped light bulbs, and immediately the dark prison was illuminated.
Everyone watching their live broadcast was almost dying of laughter.
[Seeing these bad guys cursing and swearing really made me want to laugh.]
[Hahahaha, we've been playing for the whole afternoon, and the two of them can't do anything except glow, and the host has even fallen asleep.]
[When are we supposed to call for help?]
[Don't worry, let the host play for a while. We'll notify the tour guide tomorrow at the latest.]
[Can you try sneaking out to play?]
Xi Qing shook her head. "It doesn't seem to work. The chain is quite tight. I can only try to see if it breaks by hitting me with it."
"Why don't we just wait for rescue? I haven't experienced being a gecko yet."
Hehe! She had a good time anyway, and all she had to do was get out before the martial arts competition the day after tomorrow.
Just as she was interacting with the audience in the live broadcast room, Xi Qing suddenly heard a faint voice.
"Who...are you?"
