chapter 1 Mountain boy

There are huge mountains in southwest Clusia, with hundreds of thousands of them! The mountains are beautiful and green all year round. In today's world where even a single stone is designated as a strange stone and travel articles are published, this place is still inaccessible and undisturbed, which is really rare.

In one of these hundreds of thousands of mountains, a small village has lived for generations, with more than a hundred households and hundreds of villagers. Live a peaceful life isolated from the rest of the world. Work at sunrise and rest at moonrise. They are self-sufficient and rarely interact with the outside world. There is only a long and bumpy path leading directly to the outside of the mountain. Every month or so, the Benny Long assigns more than twenty young and strong young men to carry the charcoal burned by the villagers themselves, sell it out, and then buy back some of the villagers' charcoal. Things necessary for life.

There is no time in the mountains. This tranquil and uncontested life has lasted for hundreds of years, oh, no, maybe thousands of years. Until this year, Zany Lowe reached the age of fifteen.

Zany Lowe is the only person with a foreign surname in this small mountain village. There were originally two people, him and his grandfather. But three years ago, my grandfather with superb medical skills saved countless people, but failed to save himself. Yong Ran died of illness, so the only person with a foreign surname left in the village was Zany Lowe.

Since Zany Lowe became sensible at the age of three, he has been exposed to Clusia profound culture. At the age of three, he was studying the Three Character Classic, at the age of four he was reading the Book of Songs and The Analects, and there were hundreds of schools of thought. At the age of five, he was learning the art of Go, at the age of six he was painting with splashes of ink, at the age of seven he was playing the zither and the harp, and at the age of seven he was playing the flute. As for grandpa's medical skills, it is an indispensable and compulsory item for Zany Lowe every day. Asking for pulses, checking the symptoms and prescribing, choosing medicine to decoct, acupuncture and cupping, relying on his clever talent, Zany Lowe got a clear vision at the age of ten.

In short, since he was three years old, Zany Lowe didn't know what leisure meant, and he was three times busier than the adults in the village every day. When he was ten years old, his grandfather called Zany Lowe to him and solemnly handed Zany Lowe a scripture wrapped in yellow silk. On the pages of the book, the four characters "Golden Sutra" were written in flying colors, which made Zany Lowe Ziming full of enthusiasm. looked at it for a long time.

From that day on, Zany Lowe had one more homework every day - practicing! The Golden Sutra is called Weijing, but it is actually not a sutra, but nine portraits of the human body, nine messy portraits of the human body drawn with red arrows. But seeing his grandfather's serious and respectful look, Zany Lowe never dared to show his contempt.

Under the guidance of his grandfather, Zany Lowe began to practice the first portrait. The first portrait was the simplest with the fewest arrows, but it was also the most difficult. Grandpa told him that those arrows represent the so-called true energy, and the route outlined by the arrows shows the route of the true energy. Only when the true energy flows smoothly as shown by the arrows can it be considered complete.

In order to experience the true energy that his grandfather described, Zany Lowe would climb a high mountain around the village before dawn every day, facing the direction of the rising sun, breathing in and out, and carefully experiencing what his grandfather described. A feeling of true energy flowing through the body. After more than a month, Zany Lowe could barely feel a little bit of heat as thin as a gossamer in his body, and he hurriedly started to operate as shown on the human body portrait. This first time, it took Zany Lowe a full morning. The operation is completed. However, after working hard all morning, he did not feel exhausted. On the contrary, it made him feel as light as a swallow, comfortable and full of energy! I actually fell in love with this feeling of cultivation, and I never had to be urged by my grandfather.

A year later, when Zany Lowe was eleven years old, he retired from the first portrait and was burned completely by his grandfather. The zhenqi in Zany Lowe's body was already as thick as his little finger. As long as Zany Lowe thought about it, this little finger-thick zhenqi would automatically flow smoothly along the route indicated by the arrow in the first portrait of the human body. After practicing the first portrait, Zany Lowe's body became stronger and his strength became much stronger. He could walk as fast as flying and swing an ax as fast as a feather, putting some of the strongest young men in the village to shame.

It is said that everything is difficult at the beginning. After accumulating the first portrait, the second portrait was burned by his grandfather. It only took Zany Lowe half a year. In the past six months, Zany Lowe's appearance has not been very obvious. What has changed the most is his mind. Zany Lowe was already considered to be talented. After this, it is like the stone Buddha's enlightenment. Many of his past thoughts Issues that I didn't understand suddenly became clear to me, as if they were supposed to be that way, and everything seemed so natural.

In the past six months, there were two things that grandpa did the most. One was to nod and praise Zany Lowe while wiping his beard, and the other was to cough non-stop. . .

On Zany Lowe twelfth birthday, he failed to complete the third portrait, but his grandfather passed away. Grandpa walked very calmly. Except for coughing loudly from time to time, he was looking at Lu Ziming quietly the whole time. From time to time, a strange brilliance shines through the clear eyes, with relief mixed with expectation, and expectation mixed with reluctance.

Three years passed in the blink of an eye, and Zany Lowe reached the age of fifteen. To say that he read poetry and books was definitely not a compliment. The music, chess, calligraphy and painting are all amazing. As early as two years ago, Zany Lowe personally took the third portrait of the Golden Sutra and burned it on his grandfather's grave. After two years of hard training on the fourth portrait, Zany Lowe intuitively felt that the day of success was not far away.

As his practice of the Golden Sutra Sutra gradually deepened, Zany Lowe became more and more aware of its preciousness. Zany Lowe doesn't know if he is still a normal person now. If people can accept that a normal person can chop down a towering tree with a casual raise of his hand, and can jump up to ten meters with a tap of his toes. land,

If he can fly 180 meters, then Zany Lowe is a normal person.

Influenced by thousands of years of Clusia civilization, Lu Ziming's low-key and moderate thoughts have deeply influenced him. So far, even Zany Lowe's friends don't know that Zany Lowe has these incredible abilities, let alone other people in the village. Villagers. He still repeated the fulfilling life of his grandfather's days. In addition to seeing villagers who occasionally got ulcers from time to time, he spent most of his time studying medical skills, drawings, chess scores, and piano scores, otherwise Take in the rising sun and setting sun. Occasionally when I feel like it, I will pick up the fishing rod and catch a few grass carp, cook it carefully and have a delicious meal when I come back.
