The shrill scream was particularly harsh in the dark night, covering up the sound of wind and rain. If the voice was loud enough, it might even compete with the divine thunder above the nine heavens.

Zhou Yiyun was suddenly patted in the dark. His body shook suddenly and all the items in his hands fell to the ground. He screamed and ran forward through the rain. Although he couldn't see his fingers, he still ran forward and hit him.

I also thought that the farther away I could be from the things behind me, I didn't even dare to look back. Of course, in the dark night, without the faint light of the oil lamp, I couldn't see anything when I looked back.

"Yiyun, don't panic, it's me, it's me," a voice behind him said quickly.

"Ah..." Zhou Yiyun, who was too frightened, still ran forward regardless.

Finally, there was a "bang" sound, and a sound was heard. A "ah" sound was heard, and a scream was made, which was silent.

Suddenly a burst of white light appeared, illuminating the ruined temple as bright as day, dispelling the boundless darkness, and the scene in front of us suddenly appeared in front of everyone's eyes. Upon closer inspection, it turned out that there was a bead-like object suspended in the air, and the dazzling white light came from it.

It emitted and illuminated the entire ruined temple. At this moment, Zhou Yiyun was squatting on the ground with his head in his hands, making humming sounds from time to time. A thigh-thick pillar was slanted in front of him, with the ruined temple on one side.

The courtyard wall was touching the ground on one side. It seemed like the unlucky guy had just bumped into it.

"Yiyun, are you okay? Why did I scare you like this? It's me." The old man behind him ran all the way with a sad face and came to Zhou Yiyun.

Zhou Yiyun slowly turned his head, glanced at the old man with a caring look on his face, suddenly stood up, threw himself into the old man's arms and burst into tears.

The sudden abnormality made the old man slightly startled. After a moment, he smiled and said

"Haha, after all, you are a little man, why are you crying? If you are so scared, why did you come here so late?"

When the old man said this, Zhou Yiyun quickly spread his arms around the old man, got out of his arms, and stood aside with his head lowered.

Looking at Zhou Yiyun's appearance, the old man laughed again and said

"Haha, you are so shy. You didn't come here just to deliver a bowl of noodles," he said, pointing to the noodles that fell to the ground.

"Yeah." Zhou Yiyun nodded, glanced at the noodles that fell to the ground, and said regretfully.

"I thought you must be hungry, old man, so I made you noodles. You didn't want people to know you were here, so I waited until my parents fell asleep before coming over."

Looking at the simple young man in front of him, the old man no longer laughed, but looked at Zhou Yiyun carefully.

"Old sir, you are injured. Eat something and your injuries will heal faster. I used to be naughty and got injured. That's what my mother told me. But now..." Looking at

Zhou Yiyun said with a dark expression on the noodles mixed with mud and water on the ground.

Looking at Zhou Yiyun, who looked a little haggard, the old man exhaled heavily and said in his heart, "This little kid, before his injuries have healed, braved the heavy rain to bring me food. I can't let him down again."

Thinking like this in his heart, he didn't hesitate anymore. He saw the old man raised his right hand in the air. The noodles on the ground were suspended in the air as if they were being pulled, and were being washed by the rain. Zhou Yiyun next to him widened his eyes and looked in front of him.

A strange scene happened. Then the noodles floated toward the old man one by one like living creatures. When the old man opened his mouth, the noodles automatically floated into his mouth. After chewing a few times, they were swallowed into his belly.

A few noodles even floated towards Zhou Yiyun, and they floated into his mouth after he opened his mouth. When he tasted the noodles that had been washed by the rain, they felt as if they were chewing wax and tasteless.

"It's delicious, hahaha..." Hearing the old man praise, he laughed exaggeratedly, and then ate all the noodles suspended in the air.

After finishing all the noodles, the old man smiled and said to Zhou Yiyun, "Yiyun, there is no need to bring me food in the future. I have been fasting for a long time."

"Bigu" Zhou Yiyun said with doubts on his face, scratching his head.

"Well, you haven't started practicing martial arts yet, so I don't know. You will know when you start practicing martial arts," the old man said with an embarrassed look.

"Don't you need to eat?" Zhou Yiyun asked

"yes"

"That's not right, my father and his friends also practice martial arts, so why are they still eating?"

"Well, well, because your father is not deeply cultivated and cannot absorb the spiritual energy between heaven and earth to replenish himself, he has to rely on nutrients from grains and grains to maintain himself," the old man explained.

Although he was confused, Zhou Yiyun still nodded, classifying the old man as a master in his heart.

"Oh, the rain has stopped. Yiyun, you'd better go home and rest. The injuries in your body have not healed yet and you need to rest. Otherwise, how will you be able to exercise tomorrow?" The old man touched Zhou Yiyun's head and said.

"Oh, okay then" Zhou Yiyun nodded and said

"This is a luminous bead. Take it and use it to illuminate the road." As he raised his hand, the bead in mid-air automatically flew to the old man's hand.

"Uh, no," Zhou Yiyun said quickly

"Why"

"I don't know how to use it"

"It will automatically light up at night"

"no"

"Why?"

"I don't know where to put it. If it is so bright, it will be discovered."

"This is the Qiankun Ring. If you put the beads in it, no one will find it." As he said that, the old man took out another jade ring and handed it to Zhou Yiyun.

"I still don't know how to use this," Zhou Yiyun said with a sad look on his face.

"This is very simple. You put a drop of your own essence and blood on the ring, and you can store the items as you wish." After thinking for a while, he added, "Wear the ring on your hand, and you can control your thoughts."

Let it be hidden in your hand so that no one will notice it.”

In this way, I followed the old man's instructions one by one. Sure enough, the moment the blood dripped into the blood, the ring was mentally connected with the ring. With a thought, the ring was hidden in the finger. I felt the magic and at the same time couldn't help but ask.

"Old sir, why did you give me such a valuable thing?"

“Because of a bowl of white noodles”

"...."

In the early morning, or because of a heavy rain last night, the green leaves in the woods were covered with crystal clear dewdrops. From time to time, dewdrops slipped from the leaves and dripped on the mountain road, nourishing the earth. The breeze blew by.

, the fresh air sways with the wind, moisturizing the heart and lungs, refreshing people's spirits, and feeling refreshed.

On the forest path, a young man walked forward quickly, with brisk steps and a smile on his face. Looking in the direction, he saw an abandoned ruined temple in the forest. Not long after, he came to the ruined temple, without stopping, he walked straight away.

Entering the ruined temple, an old man sat cross-legged and adjusted his breathing quietly. Even if someone came, he did not raise his eyelids, as if the old monk had entered samadhi. The young man who entered the temple did not make a sound to disturb him.

, just stood aside obediently and stopped moving.

After a long time, the old man woke up from his meditation, glanced at the young man standing not far away, nodded with a smile, and said, "You came here so early, come with me." After that, he got up and walked outside.

The young man hummed and followed the old man out.

About a hundred meters away from the ruined temple, the old man stopped and said to the young man, "The physical exercise before martial arts is actually divided into three parts. The wood cutting process you did before can only be regarded as physical exercise.

It cannot be called body training. There are three types of body training: one is strength, the other is bone, and the third is meridian. Among them, meridian training is the most important. If you have good meridians, what will be involved in the future is the integration of martial energy into the meridians.

The capacity, the speed of absorbing spiritual energy, and the speed of recovery are extremely important. Now your meridians are still quite fragile, so you cannot directly swallow the elixir and liquid. The weak meridians cannot withstand the crazy power of the medicine.

, we can only rely on mild medicine to nourish the meridians and allow them to be fully absorbed, slowly nourishing the meridians.”

"I...I don't have money to buy medicines to nourish the meridians," the young man said with a sad face. This young man was naturally Zhou Yiyun. I was somewhat aware of the difficult conditions of my family, but I really didn't have the money to buy extra medicines.

"It doesn't matter, I still don't lack such things," the old man said proudly.

"Old sir, I really can't keep doing this..." When Zhou Yiyun was halfway through speaking, the old man spoke first.

"Hey, I think this is my way of repaying you for saving my life."

"If I had left at that time, I don't believe you would have died in the forest. Instead, I dragged you down and asked you to rescue me." Zhou Yiyun lowered his head and said softly.

"No matter what the consequences were, you didn't stay back then. I want to thank you for not hacking me to death or taking away my property." After saying that, he burst into laughter.

Seeing the old man's happy look, Zhou Yiyun smiled slightly and said in his heart, "Then I will chop you to death too."

"Okay, it's time to get down to business." The old man straightened his face and said, "My exercise method is a bit painful. It's up to you whether you can bear it. Take off your clothes and use your arms and thighs to bare your body.

, or even slap the tree with your whole body, repeat this for two hours." Then he took out a jade bottle out of thin air and said, "This is a medicine that nourishes the meridians, called Tianjing Spiritual Liquid. After two hours, smear it all over the body under the scorching sun.

Just sit and meditate for half an hour and let it be fully absorbed.”

After receiving the jade bottle handed over by the old man, Zhou Yiyun gave a heavy hum and began to take off his clothes, leaving only a pair of underpants standing under the big tree.

After that, without any nonsense, he directly raised his arm and hit the big tree. A muffled "pop" sound came from it. Zhou Yiyun gritted his teeth in pain, rubbed his arm vigorously, and looked back at the old man.

"Why, I can't bear it just like this. I think highly of you," the old man said with an evil smile.

Seeing the old man's appearance, Zhou Yiyun didn't say anything. A fierce look appeared on his face. He gritted his teeth and slammed into the big tree.

"Puff, puff, puff..." The dull sound caused by the friction between the penis and the trees continued to be heard in the forest. The whole morning, Zhou Yiyun never stopped. Such beating caused a mess all over his body.

There were bloodshot threads attached to it, and there were several deep and shallow wounds, with bright red blood flowing out continuously, and the appearance was tragic and terrifying. Most of the white underpants underneath the body were dyed red with blood, making people shiver.

Pain and fatigue constantly assaulted the nerves, challenging the eleven-year-old's physical limits.

"Yiyun, that's enough!" Suddenly an angry voice came.

Zhou Yiyun was seen numbly stopping all movements, turning his head mechanically, looking at the slightly angry old man in front of him, smiling slightly, sitting down on the ground, breathing heavily.

After seeing Zhou Yiyun on the right track before, the old man returned directly to the ruined temple. When he came out this time, he was even more shocked to see Zhou Yiyun in such a state, and quickly shouted to stop. At this moment, he came even more quickly

Beside Zhou Yiyun, he frowned and said

"Yiyun, you've gone too far, do you know?"
