Chapter 7 The Great Furnace Transmutation, Good Fortune Becomes Work
"I remember exactly what each of them said when they passed by me."
Su Yun's tone was extremely calm: "After I became blind, I could only recognize people by their voices. If I hear their voices again, I will definitely recognize them."
At this time, rustling sounds came from the distant mountain forest, and several foxes with bloodstained heads and faces poked their heads under the trees.
"Xiao, Xiaoyun..." A fox called from a distance and looked at Qiu Shuijing with some fear.
After last night's massacre, these little foxes who were not afraid of people became a little afraid of people.
Su Yun looked happy and stood up: "Brother Hua? Are you still alive?"
It was a fox with black and yellow fur. It came out from under the tree, with several little foxes behind it. The little foxes held the tails of the companions in front of them and walked over with fear.
The leader Hua Hu looked at Qiu Shuijing again with fear, and confirmed that he was not the one who massacred Huqiu Village. Then he boldly approached with the three remaining little foxes.
Su Yun stood there, making Huahu and the three little foxes feel at ease. This young man was like their backbone, giving them a feeling that they could rely on them.
This feeling is not unreasonable, but is the influence of six or seven years of getting along with Su Yun and his calm and unhurried temperament.
"...Some people from the city came in the morning. They said they couldn't get good results in the ghost market, so they came to slay the demons. My husband argued with them, but they ignored them and only said that we would harm people..."
Su Yun listened quietly and asked: "Second brother, do you still remember their faces?"
Huahu shook his head and said in shame: "I ran away with my younger brothers and sisters, but I didn't have time to see their faces clearly. I only remember that one of them was very handsome, young, and he was dressed in red fire clothes, and suddenly there was real fire coming out from behind him.
, a divine bird flew out of the fire..."
Su Yun noted this feature, turned around and said, "Does Mr. Shui Jing's words still count?"
Qiu Shuijing looked at the young man lying on the ground. After a moment, he said, "I'll keep my word. But, do you have money?"
Su Yun stood up and spread his palms. In his palms were a few blood-stained five-baht coins, which he must have found in the ruins when he collected the bodies.
Qiu Shuijing picked up a five-baht coin from his hand, but at this moment, Su Yun gave him all the other five-baht coins.
Qiu Shuijing was startled and looked at him doubtfully.
Su Yun raised his head and said: "Mr. Yehu taught me for six years and did not expel me because I am a human being. Please do not expel them because they are foxes."
Qiu Shuijing thought about it and said, "Mr. Yehu taught you, did he take your money?"
Su Yun shook his head.
Qiu Shuijing returned the blood-stained five-baht coins to him and said: "He teaches people without taking money. If I teach a few fox demons and want to take money, they are not as good as him. This five-baht coin is yours."
They don’t need tuition fees.”
Su Yun accepted the five-baht coins.
Qiu Shuijing watched him and Huahu bury Mr. Yehu and the fox demons in Huqiu Village.
Many of them were their classmates, and Huahu and the little foxes couldn't help but burst into tears again.
They returned to the preface. Qiu Shuijing glanced at Su Yun and the four foxes and said, "What Mr. Yehu taught you was the Confucius' Qi Nourishing Chapter, right? How many years have you been studying it?"
Su Yun nodded: "I have studied for six years."
Huahu said: "I have studied for seven years."
The other three little foxes also studied for two or three years each.
Qiu Shuijing said calmly: "Although the Master Qi Nourishing Chapter is an orthodox Qi nourishing method, there is no textbook in the world that has not changed for five thousand years? In today's era, if it does not change for ten years, it is considered outdated. When I came to the countryside, I found that there was a huge difference between urban and rural areas.
It’s like there is a gap of thousands of years!”
He shook his head and said: "What I want to teach you is the latest and most basic foundation-building technique in the official school of the capital, the Honglu Transformation and Qi Nourishing Chapter."
Moreover, heaven and earth are a furnace, and creation is a work;
Yin and Yang are charcoal, and all things are copper.
This sentence is the general outline of Honglu's transformation and nourishing qi.
The Master's Qi Nourishing Chapter originally only used the simplest way to warm up the vitality. Although it is simple and easy to use, it is difficult to practice deeply.
However, the chapter on the transmutation and nourishing of Qi in the Hong Furnace treats one's body as the heaven and earth, containing the Hong Furnace, stimulating the potential of creation, using the yin and yang energy in the body as charcoal, and the internal organs, muscles, bones, and blood as copper to refine powerful vitality.
Although this Qi-nourishing method is complicated, it is extremely effective, and its cultivation speed is faster than that of Confucius' Qi-nurturing chapter.
Qiu Shui Jing starts from the shallower to the deeper, starting with seizing the essence of the sun and the moon, regarding oneself as the heaven and earth, and the heaven and earth as the furnace, then talks about how creation is used as work, and then how to use yin and yang as charcoal and all things as copper.
Su Yun and others had a shallow foundation to begin with, and the chapter on "Honglu Transformation and Nourishing Qi" was really profound. Even a master like Qiu Shuijing spent five or six days before they could get started and learn the first chapter of "Nourishing Qi".
Among them, Huahu learns the fastest. He has the foundation of the Master's Qi Yang chapter, so it is easy to get started.
The other three little foxes followed, but Su Yun was the slowest to learn. He couldn't see, so Qiu Shuijing had to teach him step by step over and over again, which was extremely difficult.
Fortunately, although Su Yun is a slow learner, he has a flexible mind and can draw inferences from one instance to another, and has the deepest understanding of the evolution of Honglu.
In the past few days, Su Yun invited Huahu and three other little foxes to live in Tianmen Town. However, Huahu and the others were extremely afraid of Tianmen Town and would rather live in Xiangxu.
Su Yun also invited Qiu Shuijing to live in Tianmen Town, but Qiu Shuijing also politely refused, so the young man had no choice but to give up.
In the early morning of this day, Qiu Shuijing, with one person and four foxes, faced the morning sun and breathed in and out. Suddenly, Qiu Shuijing felt that there seemed to be a small sun around him. He couldn't help but open his eyes and look, but it was the direction of Huahu.
"Although Huahu is a demon, his aptitude and understanding are very good, and he has already reached the first level of cultivation."
Qiu Shuijing nodded secretly, gathering the essence of the sun, using himself as a furnace to temper his body and cultivate his vitality. This was the first sign of the transformation of the furnace.
Huahu was able to reach this level of cultivation in five or six days, which was considered remarkable even among the scholars.
Qiu Shuijing checked the other three foxes. Although the three little foxes had shallow foundations, they were progressing quickly and would reach the first level in a short time.
He checked Su Yun's entry again and frowned slightly.
Although Su Yun has a deep understanding of Honglu's transformation, he is blind after all. He can learn the theory, but if he wants to master it physically, he must put in several times more effort than others.
Moreover, Su Yun's progress in cultivation was slow, which was somewhat beyond his expectation.
According to his prediction, Su Yun was the slowest in learning due to his eye disease, but he should be the fastest in cultivation. Unexpectedly, Su Yun was the slowest.
Qiu Shuijing sighed secretly: "My expectations for him are still too high. Even the fox demon can achieve the first level in such a short period of time, but he cannot do it. The impact of his eye disease is too great."
Little did he know that Su Yun's body was full of vitality, but every time it came to his eyes, something strange would happen.
Su Yun's vitality flowed into his eyes, and his originally dark eyes suddenly "saw" something!
In front of his "eyes", Tianmen appeared out of thin air!
In addition to Tianmen, there is also the tall and towering Chaotian Tower on eight sides!
Behind Tianmen and Chaotian Tower is a vast ocean.
The Chaotian Tower in Tianmen Town has long been missing. Naturally, the Eight-sided Chaotian Tower is not the Chaotian Tower in Tianmen Town, but the mark in Su Yun's eyes.
What's weird is that the Eight-sided Tower is actually absorbing Su Yun's vitality!
The tower faces the sky on eight sides, like eight bottomless pits.
Chaotian Que kept devouring Su Yun's vitality, causing him to never be able to complete the first level of Honglu's transformation.
Qiu Shuijing did not expect such a change in Su Yun's eyes, thinking that he just had good understanding and average aptitude.
Su Yun thought that this situation was to treat his eye disease, so he did not tell Qiu Shuijing about the abnormality that occurred during his cultivation, so that Qiu Shuijing had this misunderstanding.
When the morning class was over, Qiu Shuijing thought about leaving.
After all, he is a private student, and there are many scholars from well-known families in Shuofang City who need him to teach, so he cannot stay in Tianshiyuan for too long.
He taught everyone the second chapter of "Honglu Transformation and Nourishing Qi" in detail, and then left.
"Yun, in today's world, it is difficult for a poor family to produce a noble son. Why?"
When Su Yun saw him off, Qiu Shuijing hesitated for a moment, but continued to teach him earnestly, saying: "Although the sons of poor families have the official education of the country, it seems fair to study with the sons of the gentry. However, the sons of the gentry have money and power, and besides the official education, the sons of the gentry have other
Private education. If you learn one thing in the official school, the sons of the gentry can learn 2, 3, 4, 5 in the private school. Therefore, the gap in knowledge between the sons of poor families and the sons of the gentry continues to widen."
Su Yun followed him step by step and said: "I heard that poor people who study hard can get ahead..."
"Big mistake! If there is a private school, it is impossible for a poor man to work harder than a son of a noble family! The things taught in the official school are all general things, but in the private school, they can hire a teacher like me!"
Qiu Shuijing said: "The sons of the gentry work harder than the sons of poor families! The official school is out, and the children in the countryside run to play, while the sons of the gentry are studying in private schools! The official school is on holiday, and the sons of the poor are at home during the holidays, while the sons of the gentry are still studying in private schools!"
"Emperor Yuan promoted official education and hoped that everyone would be equal in education and that there would be no distinction between poor families and gentry. However, a hundred years have passed since Emperor Yuan and now, education has actually been monopolized in the hands of the gentry. Children from poor families have no money to go to private schools, and there is no distinction between the poor and the gentry in official education.
Without the ability to learn the latest knowledge, the class structure is becoming more and more serious. The path for promotion for a child from a poor family, the path for a fish to transform into a dragon, has become narrower and narrower."
He stopped, turned around, and said sincerely: "The situation in the countryside is even more serious. Yun, you come from a poor background, have good qualifications, and have a good understanding. If you stay in the countryside, you will be buried. You must enter
You have to go to the city to study! But even if you go to the city to study and just go to a government school, you won’t be able to get ahead. You still need to study in a government school and a private school at the same time.”
"However, even if you study the same thing as a scholar and have the same knowledge, you may not be able to leap over the dragon's gate. Because the son of a scholar has a prominent family background and a wide network of contacts, and all of this will take you more than ten years, or even
Decades to catch up. Is that fair?”
"Unfair, but just! Because this is the legacy left by the hard work of their ancestors, it is natural for them to inherit the legacy of their ancestors. A poor scholar has no foundation, no family background, and no connections. If you want to get ahead, then you will only
The next advantage that others don’t have.”
Qiu Shuijing patted his student on the shoulder and said earnestly: "That's wildness. Wildness in the countryside! A wildness that the scholars in the city don't have!"
With his long sleeves fluttering, he walked forward, and his voice came from far away: "The city is like a furnace of heaven and earth, with struggles and opportunities everywhere. You can only preserve your wildness, use wildness as yin and yang, use struggle as charcoal, and light the furnace."
, only by seizing luck can you break out of the solidified class, cross the boundary, and soar!"
