Chapter Thirty-Three Cutting the Hair and Washing the Marrow
After leaving the sales center, Xia Haoran walked leisurely on the road.
To the west of the city is Old Street.
The significance of an old street to a city is far more than just a shopping street lined with shops. It is the accumulation of time and history, and is a vivid reflection of the city's history, culture, customs and customs.
It is prosperous and vicissitudes of life; lively and quiet.
You can see modern Western restaurants, cafes and bars everywhere. They have small facades and are as dilapidated as the old streets. Their interiors and decorations are integrated with the arcades of the old streets. The population here is concentrated and the social infrastructure is complete.
If Xia Haoran remembers it well, less than 200 meters away from this street is the Lingnan Botanical Garden.
Passing by a restaurant, the smell of food and rice wafted from inside. Xia Haoran looked at the time, it was almost 5 o'clock, and simply walked in. The decoration inside was pretty good, and as soon as he walked in, there was a beautiful waiter.
He greeted me warmly and said welcome.
Choosing a seat facing the street and sitting down, Xia Haoran opened the menu, ordered eight dishes, and then said: "A bottle of good wine!" The waiter asked: "What kind of drink does sir want?" Xia Haoran looked at it.
He put the cards on the table and said: "Just have a bottle of Luzhou Laojiao."
The food arrived quickly. Xia Haoran poured himself a glass of wine and ate slowly.
An hour later, Xia Haoran was full of wine and food, paid the money and left.
When I go home in the evening, the family sits on the sofa and watches TV after dinner.
Xia Haoran and his parents took their pulses respectively and nodded with satisfaction. Half a month of true energy warming and half a month of medicated diet had an immediate effect on improving the body, especially in the early stages. Every day, the parents' bodies
There is a step-by-step improvement, which can be described as rapid progress.
Then he said to his parents: "From now on, running with bare hands every morning will have no practical significance for improving your physical fitness. By the way, mom, you can add an appropriate amount of that medicine.
It is only somewhat useful for improving your physical fitness at this stage, but it will not be of much use after a while."
The father deliberately showed off his muscles. During this period of time, the physical fitness of the two elders has been improved, and the whole person's mental state has been significantly improved.
Xia Haoran then spread some knowledge about the meridians and acupuncture points of the human body to his parents, and then returned to his room. Sitting at the desk, he did a few sets of past papers. Xia Haoran rubbed his eyes. It was late at night and it was time to set off.
. said and gently pushed open the window, Yu Jian flew out.
Ever since he learned to fly with a sword at Xiaoyang Mountain in the suburbs last time, Xia Haoran has been sneaking out at intervals at night. The environment in the city is too bad, the spiritual energy is too thin, and there is car exhaust everywhere. In the suburbs
The air is very fresh. Practicing there will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.
Now Xia Haoran finally understands that even in the world of cultivation, some practicing sects or hermits like to 'hide' in some deep mountains and forests, in places where few people live. The first is to escape from the world, and the second is of course the aura of heaven and earth.
Yu Jian circled around Xiaoyang Mountain several times, and finally landed on a hidden hilltop. Sitting cross-legged, Xia Haoran started another day of practice. Since he has now reached the middle stage of foundation building, he has a special need for spiritual energy.
Huge, for him, current practice feels like fishing for fish with a big net, which is simply beyond his capabilities.
But even so, this is the time of day when the power of Taiyin is strongest. If you don't practice now and practice at other times, the effect will only be worse.
Xia Haoran swallowed twenty drops of the medicinal solution, and then activated the Yuan Power in his body to continuously travel around the great heaven and earth in his body. During this period, he continued to absorb the power of lunar energy from heaven and earth. However, these lunar powers were still too thin.
The day's practice hastily ended. Although he had consolidated his realm a little, Xia Haoran still felt regretful. With his own strength, combined with the supreme practice skills, and the heaven-defying elixir, he had only reached the middle stage of foundation building. Now
They are all unable to move even an inch. If there are really other monks in the world, Xia Haoran really can't imagine what kind of state they can reach.
However, according to Xia Haoran's estimation, in this world, in today's general environment, even if there are monks, it is estimated that the highest ones are only in the late stage of Qi training. If there is a chance encounter or the sect has rich resources, it is possible to break through and enter the foundation building stage, but only
Limiting it to this, no matter how high it is, it is simply impossible.
"It seems that I have to take time to go out and look for elixirs and herbs." Xia Haoran lamented in his heart. The medicinal liquid refined from these ordinary medicinal materials is undoubtedly useless for his own cultivation. There are many high-end medicinal materials in the space of the cauldron, and now
I want to refine some low-grade elixirs for my own practice. I don't need those high-grade medicinal materials, and I don't want to waste them.
Although the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is very thin in this world, some low-level elixirs still exist. It's just that no one has discovered them and no one has picked them.
In the days that followed, Xia Haoran resumed his leisurely life.
After finishing all the high school courses, even English, which has always been relatively poor, has made rapid progress under Xia Haoran's attack. Just kidding, I have put the entire "English-Chinese Dictionary" in my head, how can I get higher grades?
Well? Just do a few more sets of exercises every day to consolidate them.
As for our classmate Xia Haoran, he spends a lot of time in a daze in class. He seems to be listening carefully, but he himself has long been distracted, thinking about the talismans and formation patterns in his mind.
After dinner on Friday, Xia Haoran's family sat on the sofa again.
Xia Haoran said: "Mom and Dad, after this period of medical and dietary conditioning, your physical fitness has improved to my expectations. I will give you one last grooming tonight. After this conditioning, you
Your physical fitness will reach a new level!"
"Ah, what can I do?" Lin Shufen's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she grabbed Xia Haoran's hand and asked hurriedly.
"Haha, parents, you should have heard of cutting hair and cleaning marrow, right?" Xia Haoran asked with a smile.
In China, even those who have never read a book these days, as long as they have watched TV, they will know what cutting out the hair and purging the marrow is. Of course, they know it, but no one has ever taken it seriously, because it is just a story.
"Haoran, you mean it's like in the martial arts TV series? Is that true?" Both Lin Shufen and Xia Guohao opened their eyes wide.
"Your son is a martial arts master, so no matter what happens, anything is possible." Xia Haoran said with a smile.
"That's true." Lin Shufen said thoughtfully.
"What is it? If what Xia Haoran said is true, will it be like what was shown on TV? It will take a lot of effort and be dangerous?" Xia Guohao had already figured out what his son was going to do.
Lin Shufen said with a glance.
Lin Shufen was not a fool, and she understood it as soon as Xia Guohao said it. Who doesn't want a good body these days? But as Xia Guohao said, she felt a little sorry for her son. This skill gained through hard work
, if it is all spent on her husband and herself, then won’t the nearly six months of hard work by my son be in vain?
"You guys, do you believe whatever is said on TV? Your son is a martial arts master. Since I can mention it, it means that this method is absolutely safe and reliable, otherwise I wouldn't mention it, right? Of course it consumes
It is definitely inevitable to lose some skills. But since I am so young, I just need to rest for a few days to cultivate it back." Xia Haoran looked at his parents worrying about this and that, and was both moved and a little bit dumbfounded.
Seeing her son say this, Lin Shufen felt relieved and said with a smile: "Then I'm relieved. Then you should quickly cut off the hair and cleanse the marrow of your father."
"It's better to cut off your mother's hair and cleanse her marrow. On the surface, she looks better than your father, but in fact she has constant ailments." Xia Guohao felt relieved after hearing this.
Xia Haoran looked at his father and then his mother, and said with a smile: "What are you pushing and pushing? Of course both of you want to cut off the hair and clean the marrow. I also want to see you live a long life together!"
"Is this okay? Will you use up all your skills because of this?" Xia Guohao asked worriedly.
"Dad, have you watched too many costume TV dramas? Really, I just say yes, your son is a super martial arts master." Xia Haoran said with a smile.
Seeing that Xia Haoran said it very easily, Xia Guohao and Lin Shufen both looked at their son doubtfully, and finally pointed at each other and said: "Then let your father (mother) go first."
"Anyway, I want it, so let me go first. Besides, this is also the first time for me to cut off someone's hair and cleanse their marrow. Dad, you are the eldest man and the best test subject!" Xia Haoran said with a smile.
.
"You kid, you dare to treat me and me as guinea pigs." Xia Guohao couldn't help laughing and scolding, "Then take it easy and save some energy to cut off your mother's hair and cleanse her marrow."
"I know! Dad, take off your coat, sit down cross-legged, and then don't think about anything." Xia Haoran said.
Xia Guohao had no choice but to sit down cross-legged as he was told. When he closed his eyes, he couldn't help but said: "Haoran, Dad knows your filial piety, but you must not force it!"
"Don't worry, Dad, I don't dare to play with this kind of thing. It may hurt a little for a while, so you have to endure it." Xia Haoran said seriously.
Seeing his son say this, Xia Guohao closed his eyes with relief.
Xia Haoran adjusted his breath for a moment, then gently pressed his hand on the heavenly spirit position above his father's head, and circulated the true energy in his body.
A huge amount of Yuan Power was poured from Xia Guohao's Heavenly Spiritual Position, and the Yuan Power was accompanied by powerful vitality, which continuously expanded Xia Guohao's meridians, and the vitality nourished Xia Guohao's body. Xia Haoran controlled it with his spiritual consciousness.
Yuan Li is methodically helping the leader dad to open up the eight extraordinary meridians throughout the body.
In an instant, Xia Guohao felt a warm air flow coming from the heavenly spiritual position, and then it moved through the meridians in his body and his limbs. Under the infusion of the huge spiritual energy, Xia Guohao did not feel any discomfort, but felt extremely comfortable.
He felt that his whole body was full of strength, as if he had taken Shiquan Dabu Pills and could kill a cow with one punch!
