Chapter 49 - 33 Reading Scriptures_3
The simplest example.
For the body’s various meridians and acupoints, many Taoist terms are used for naming in the Mental Technique, and then the direction and operation rules of Inner Qi in the meridians and acupoints are also described using Taoist concepts.
If you aren’t clear about these terms and concepts, and just follow a book of drawings to manipulate your Inner Strength, it’s no wonder things would go awry.
“If I don’t understand the Taoist Classics, with my current knowledge, I can only practice the first layer of the Mental Technique and complete two meridians at most, reaching the peak of a third-class martial artist. To make further progress, I must study the Classic of Daoist Internal Medicine.”
Lu Yuan was speechless in his heart, strongly criticizing this method of forcefully setting up knowledge barriers.
But after the criticism, he honestly picked up a copy of the “Tongxuan Sensation True Scripture” and read it carefully.
Although there is still a long time before he cultivates the second layer of the Mental Technique, which should be about six years later.
But precisely because of this, he should accumulate knowledge and prepare in advance at this time.
And not to mention.
With the study of various poems, songs, strange stories, and Buddhist and Taoist scriptures, Lu Yuan has gained quite a lot of insights and feels that his state of mind has improved a lot.
Question: How to improve a person’s self-cultivation?
Answer: Read more books.
In the blink of an eye, another month has passed.
Today, Lu Yuan temporarily put down his books, and the martial arts medicine and herbs at home were used up, so he needed to go to the city to replenish some.
Because this month, he didn’t go hunting and there was no fur, so he didn’t carry that big bamboo basket, but just went lightly, which was much faster.
After an hour’s journey and paying ten cents for entering the city, he went straight to the Zhou Family Pharmacy.
However, just arriving at the market, several people blocked his way.
“Lu Yuan.”
Scarface from the Black Wolf Gang, along with several underlings, stood in front of him.
“Scarface.” Lu Yuan had a calm expression, not showing his compliant smile as in the past, and casually made a saluting gesture.
“How dare you, what’s the way to speak to our Scarface?”
Seeing his attitude, several Black Wolf Gang hooligans were immediately furious and wanted to teach him a lesson.
However, before he could take a step, Lu Yuan looked at him coldly.
After killing thousands of animals in the mountain and dozens of South Sea gang members, Lu Yuan naturally has a certain aura.
Simply put, it’s a kind of momentum.
It’s probably like the feeling of an ordinary person standing in front of a tiger. You can imagine it in your mind.
At this moment, when he slightly releases it, the cursing hooligan is instantly intimidated, and his movements slow down.
Scarface is a knowledgeable and experienced person. After sensing this momentum, he waved his hand to restrain his underlings.
Then, looking at Lu Yuan, he scrutinized him up and down and said coldly,
“You aren’t selling goods this time you entered the city?”
“Ah.” Lu Yuan said lightly: “I’ve changed my line of work and don’t want to be a hunter anymore.”
Now that he has made enough money, he certainly won’t continue being a humble hunter, entering the city to smile obsequiously and allow these people to take advantage of him.
So, after returning from South Sea Prefecture, Lu Yuan decided not to be a hunter anymore.
From now on, hunting is not a way of making a living, but a hobby.
Scarface’s face darkened: “You’ve been practicing martial arts?”
He sensed from Lu Yuan a similar aura as those high-level martial artists with Martial Arts and Internal Strength in the gang.
Equally strong, equally murderous.
“Yes, I practiced for a year, and I’ve made some progress.” Lu Yuan smiled and admitted generously.
Previously, he had to keep a low profile, so he had to back down. Now, since he has practiced martial arts and gained strength, he naturally wouldn’t continue to be submissive.
Otherwise, he would really become a pushover.
And even though he couldn’t reveal the Cloud Palm technique, the basic strength and the support of internal energy alone would be more than a match for ordinary people.
With this strength, it is enough to deter those who like to buzz around him.
Otherwise, if he keeps getting annoyed by these flies, he is afraid that one day he won’t be able to hold back and will take lives.
Despite the fact that killing these people is what Lu Yuan wants in his heart.
But it’s not the right time yet.
He’s not strong enough to deal with the Black Wolf Gang, nor is he ready to live on the run.
Crushing these ants will have to wait for another ten years or so.
‘I hope these people can live until then.’ With a smile, looking at Scarface and his men, Lu Yuan’s eyes are deep..
