Long Night Country

A glimpse into the world

A glimpse into the world

Aug 15, 2024

For the next five days, Jiang Yao did only one thing every day: practicing Yunshui Jue.

If someone who didn't know the mystery of Yunshui Jue practiced this set of hand gestures every day, he would probably have vomited out of boredom.

But Jiang Yao enjoyed it, and even enjoyed it, just like when he studied the ancient Chinese characters. He found great fun in things that others thought were extremely boring.

This is the understanding of "micro".

After five days, Jiang Yao had learned 32 hand gestures correctly. Now he demonstrated a set of Yunshui Jue, which, in the eyes of ordinary people, was no different from Deng Jiu and others. Only martial artists could tell the subtle differences and knew that he still did 14 gestures wrong.

On the sixth day, Jiang Yao learned another move correctly all day.

He practiced it over and over again in the room. The first step of martial arts cultivation was actually like this, which really subverted the practice routine that Jiang Yao saw in the online article.

What's even more amazing is that every time Jiang Yao learns a hand gesture correctly, he knows it by heart, and his understanding of the mystery of Yunshui Jue increases by one point.

Deng Jiu not only has to take time to check Jiang Yao's practice of Yunshui Jue, but also has to go to the manor to work every day, doing the work of both father and son.

As for the three women, they also pick mulberry leaves and raise silkworms every day. The silk production of silkworms is extremely low, only one percent of that of ordinary silkworms. Such precious silk is of course paid to the lord. The clothes worn by Master Wu Xiu are mainly made of fabrics woven from silkworms.

In addition to raising silkworms, the three women also take time to guide Jiang Yao to practice Yunshui Jue, which can be said to be meticulous.

The family is harmonious and happy. Jiang Yao, immersed in Yunshui Jue, temporarily puts aside his doubts.

With the arrival of spring, the whole mountain village is extremely lively. Birds sing, flowers bloom, mountains and rivers are beautiful, and there is hope everywhere. If the serfs' miserable daily labor and the misfortune of dying at any time had not changed at all, it would really be a paradise.

"Xiaoyao. Sister picked the freshest mulberries, please try them." Jiang Cai walked into Jiang Yao's bedroom and placed a basket of mulberries as big as red dates in front of Jiang Yao. Her smile was as bright and brilliant as the spring light outside, and it was as simple as grass.

Jiang Yao looked at the fresh mulberries with the smell of sunshine, stopped and picked up one, "Sister, you eat it, women should eat more fruits." She handed the mulberry to Jiang Cai's mouth.

Jiang Cai's expression condensed slightly, and then she smiled and said, "Xiaoyao feels more and more sorry for you." She opened her red lips and ate the mulberries naturally.

The relationship between the sister and brother was very warm.

Jiang Yao also picked up one and threw it into her mouth, "Sister, why are the mulberries this year so sweet?" Jiang Yao is no stranger to mulberries after eight years here, but she thinks this year's mulberries are especially sweet.

"Really?" Jiang Cai picked up another one and tasted it, "I think it's still the same... I understand what's going on. It's because of the Yunshui Jue. Your Yunshui Jue is almost complete, and it has improved your taste, so you think this year's mulberries are especially sweet."

Jiang Yao's eyes lit up, is that the case?

Then she thought about it and suddenly realized that her appetite had improved a lot in the past two days. It turned out to be because of the Yunshui Jue.

"Sister is so happy for you." Jiang Cai's big eyes were curved and her voice was very nice, "Xiao Yao, stand up and look out the window to see if there is anything different."

Jiang Yao stood up, opened the window and looked at the mountains not far away, and soon found the problem.

A trace of joy emerged from the boy's slightly childish face, "Sister, I feel that I can see more clearly, and my eyesight is better."

Jiang Cai nodded, "If you learn more than 40 gestures of Yunshui Jue correctly, the five senses will be improved. When you have fully learned Yunshui Jue, the five senses will be improved by at least 30% to 40%. Now not only your taste and vision, but also your hearing, smell and touch are stronger than before."

Jiang Yao found it very interesting. The benefits of cultivation are indeed too many to describe. Not only is the life span so long, but the fun of enjoying life is also much better than that of ordinary people.

However, his biggest motivation for cultivation is to get rid of the tragic fate of serfs.

Jiang Cai skillfully opened a cupboard and saw a simple and old rattle. He picked it up and shook it while laughing, "Do you remember this?"

Jiang Yao stepped forward to take the rattle and shook it twice, "This is the toy that sister made for me back then."

"It's so ugly." Jiang Cai chuckled, looking a little embarrassed.

"I think it's well made, I won't throw it away for the rest of my life." Jiang Yao smiled warmly, with a hint of nostalgia on his face.

Ajie, I grew up with this body of mine. I've been with him for almost nine years.

Jiang Cai sighed, feeling a little sour in her heart, and her eyes were a little wet for some reason.

"By the way, Meimei stayed up late at night to make shoes for you, and her hands were injured by the needle. She loves you very much. After you get married, you must treat her well." Jiang Cai changed the subject and said.

"Yao'er, Cai'er, Dad is back, come and have dinner." Jiang's mother came to the door and wiped her hands on her apron neatly, "There's a fish today, and I made a pot of fish soup. Yao'er, go call Meimei to drink the fish soup."

Jiang Yao agreed and went to the nearby small courtyard to call Meimei.

As the boy walked, doubts arose in his heart.

Ajie said that Meimei stayed up late to make shoes for her and injured her fingers with needles. The question is, how can she, a martial artist, be hurt by a small iron needle?

Is this normal?

Did my sister make up a beautiful lie to make me treat her well?

Jiang Yao came to Meimei's small yard and saw her washing mulberry leaves. The girl was concentrating on her work and seemed to have not noticed anyone approaching. Her concentration was more fascinating than the spring scenery.

"Meimei!" Jiang Yao shouted.

"Ah?" Meimei raised her head happily, "You are here!"

It was exactly the kind of girl's mood when she suddenly saw her boyfriend.

Jiang Yao couldn't help but frown secretly. He hadn't fully learned the Yunshui Jue, but his five senses had improved. But Meimei was a real martial artist, and she couldn't even notice him coming?

How is it possible?

She was just pretending.

Why pretend?

No matter what the reason, it was always... unreal.

Recalling her subconscious disgusted look before, Jiang Yao was more and more certain that Meimei was acting for him.

She had already discovered that he was here, and her fingers could not be injured by the needle.

It was a bit too much to try so hard to please him.

No matter how beautiful something is, once it is false, it is no longer beautiful. For example: cultural relics.

"My mother made fish soup and asked you to drink it together." Jiang Yao smiled a little honestly and embarrassedly.

Meimei rolled her eyes at him coquettishly, "Look at your hair, you can't even tie it up properly." After saying that, she pulled Jiang Yao to sit on the stone bench and combed his hair like a young wife.

The girl's white and tender hands set off the boy's dark hair, like a scroll. The girl's slightly soft voice also lingered in the boy's ears.

"I'll take care of your hair from now on. Well, this bun looks refreshing and elegant."

Meimei looked at the bun she had tied for Jiang Yao, and the girl's picturesque eyebrows were filled with a hint of joy. "Yao Lang is really handsome."

She was very close to Jiang Yao, and Jiang Yao could smell the fragrance of orchids in the mountains.

She didn't know what Jiang Yao was thinking at this moment. She didn't know that Yao Lang had a lot of twists and turns in his heart.

"Hehe." Jiang Yao smiled a little embarrassedly.

With the careful teaching of the four people and Jiang Yao's efforts, Jiang Yao learned the Yunshui Jue in just 27 days.

This speed really surprised the four people.

At the moment when he learned the Yunshui Jue, Jiang Yao felt that his body had changed in some way, that is, he had some kind of wonderful perception of the invisible air around him.

As long as he cast the spell, he felt an indescribable comfort.

Slowly, he felt some parts of his body cool and some parts slightly warm.

"…Feel something abnormal in your body? That's where the nine spiritual points are. Only after learning the Yunshui Jue can you sense the existence of the spiritual points. The nine spiritual points are located differently for each person. Yao'er, you have finally completed the first step." Deng Jiu said.

Somehow, a thin silk book suddenly appeared in his hand, "This is the Deng's Heart Sutra, the handed-down technique of our Deng family. There is a method of guiding qi into the body. From today on, you will start to practice the heart method. This is the second step, and it is also a very important step."

Jiang Yao opened the silk book and found a gray chaos. He looked up at Deng Jiu, "Dad..."

Deng Jiu scratched the silk book with his hand, and a paragraph of text and dense meridian patterns appeared on it.

The text is: "…three breaths and one stagnation, turn and sink, change the breath to seven parts, inhale and exhale nine stagnations, turn three parts, rush to the spiritual platform, gather the spirit and concentrate it..."

The meaning is very obscure, the text is similar to the Chinese seal script, but it is definitely not the Chinese seal script, but Jiang Yao can understand it, not because of "illiteracy". Obviously, the text on this mental method is not an ordinary text representation, but a kind of Tao thought. Even if you can't read, you can recognize it.

The meridian pattern is obviously an image diagram of breathing.

Jiang Yao is very smart. He doesn't need Deng Jiu to explain that the nine spiritual points are equivalent to nine numbers. According to the principle of number series, they can be combined into countless kinds of exercises at will.

It seems that they all practice the nine spiritual points and open up the mysterious meridians, but in fact there are countless methods and gas-guiding paths.

"…Remember the mental method, be detached from the world, practice the Cloud and Water Skill, let your mind follow your heart, and your Qi move at will. First, cultivate the sense of Qi, and then master the method of gathering and dispersing the Qi…"

Deng Jiu patiently explained it several times in a row, and asked with some concern: "Yao'er, do you remember it?"

Jiang Yao finally understood how to do it, and nodded: "Er, I understand."

Deng Jiu and others breathed a sigh of relief, as long as they understood.
