From a refugee to a martial artist

Chapter 140 Teaching
There was constant commotion here, and Meng Yuan started chatting with Old Man Jiang.

After moving to the palace for a long time, Mr. Jiang is now in good health, with a rosy complexion, no longer as haggard as before.

But after all, I am old. I have suffered from hunger and hardship in the past. Although I no longer have night coughs, I am still not energetic enough.

"You are becoming more and more successful. My girl and I have also enjoyed the wealth and prosperity, and we have not worked hard anymore." Old Man Jiang poured wine for Meng Yuan. "I have nothing to do anyway. Tie Niu is going to the pasture tomorrow, and I plan to go with him to take a look."

"Prepare a carriage." Meng Yuan said.

"A donkey cart is enough. Although it goes slowly, it is not bumpy at all." Old Man Jiang said with a smile.

"Okay." Meng Yuan nodded slightly. Seeing that Mr. Jiang seemed to have some hidden meaning in his words, he held his hand and said with a smile, "When the girl grows up, I will not let her down."

"That's not what I meant. I know you're nostalgic." Old Man Jiang had a satisfied smile on his face, and he lowered his voice and whispered, "Teacher Nie's daughter is also a very good person. Now that this girl has been favored by the princess, she has become even more unruly. You should ask Miss Nie to discipline her more in the future. Donkey hooves must be cut off when they grow long, and people cannot be spoiled."

Meng Yuan smiled and nodded.

After the meal, Hu Qian asked Wu Changsheng and Tie Niu to go back to the training ground, while she stayed to clean up with Jiang Tang, and Xiangling also helped diligently.

After cleaning up, Hu Qian went back satisfied.

"Brother," After Hu Qian left, Jiang Tang saw that Old Man Jiang had fallen asleep, and then he carried Xiang Ling to Meng Yuan's room, "Sister Qian wasn't like this before. Why did she always pick up food for you? And even helped me clean up the dishes?"

Meng Yuan discovered that since the trip to Qishui Town, the previously introverted Hu Qian seemed like a different person and was extremely respectful to him.

"I'll teach her a lesson tomorrow." Meng Yuan said.

"That's not necessary." Jiang Tang was very confident, "I'll go talk to her tomorrow."

She stroked Xiangling's back and nodded, full of confidence and fighting spirit.

"You combed your hair the wrong way around." Xiangling shook her body and jumped into Meng Yuan's arms.

"Brother, you have to teach me poetry!" Jiang Tang sat next to Meng Yuan, his big eyes sparkling, his hands hugging Meng Yuan's arms.

Meng Yuan had no choice but to take turns with Xiangling to teach her.

When it was late at night, Jiang Tang went to fetch some hot water again, "It's hot, I'll help you wipe your body."

"No need." Meng Yuan refused.

"Then I'll wash your feet." Jiang Tang rolled up her sleeves, looking as virtuous as could be.

After washing his feet, Jiang Tang reluctantly went back to rest.

After closing the door, Meng Yuan sat cross-legged on the bed and carefully read the Tianji Tu Fenxin. Xiangling lay on Meng Yuan's shoulder and also watched with wide eyes.

This divine power of heaven is related to fire, but it is not a method of attack, but a method of rejection and meditation.

This method is similar to the gods descending to earth mentioned by Li Weizhen, both of which are magical powers that isolate all kinds of spells, and this method is more effective in restraining all kinds of illusions.

However, after the gods descended to earth to activate it, it could last for a quarter of an hour. And this method was the same as the Immortal Golden Body, and it needed to be activated continuously.

Moreover, burning the heart with fire means using flames to burn one's own heart in order to purify all desires and delusions in the heart, thereby isolating oneself from all illusions.

This is a supernatural power that is developed through self-cultivation. Once it is activated, one will feel as if there is fire burning in the body, as if the heart and body are burning, while the mind becomes clearer and more unobstructed.

It conforms to the principle of burning the heart with fire.

This method uses not many acupoints in the upper thirty-three heavens, only the two acupoints corresponding to the center intestine in the thirty-three heavens, and the Shimen.

This magical power may seem useless, but the key lies in who uses it and where it is used.

If Meng Yuan could open another Dantian, then with his own attacking method and this method, he would not be afraid of the lust realm or the desire barrier.

After a good night's sleep, Meng Yuan was woken up early by Xiangling.

"It's time to go to work!" Xiangling put on her hairband, carried her small schoolbag, checked her bracelets, combed her hair in front of the mirror, and looked very motivated.

It doesn't feel like going to work, but more like going on a blind date.

Meng Yuan was deeply impressed by the Third Miss's great skills and had already tamed Xiangling.

"So early?" Meng Yuan saw that the sun had not yet risen outside, it was just dawn.

"Oh, I have to go." Xiangling sighed, "Without me, Jingyuan will be gone!"

After the family left, Meng Yuan found that he really missed Sister Qingqing.

During the nearly half a month I was away, I was fighting against each other, and working very hard, all in the pursuit of self-improvement and progress.

The dust and dirt on the body can be washed away, but the dust in the heart needs to be washed with the help of Sister Qingqing.

Meng Yuan did not dare to forget his original intention, nor did he dare to forget the beauty.

After a good night's sleep, Meng Yuan's body was more eager to go home than his mind.

"restraint!"

Meng Yuan sat down again, but found it difficult to calm down, so he sat up again.

Seeing that it was still early and Zuiyue Tower had not yet opened, Meng Yuan had already changed his clothes and went out.

Dugu Kang was already waiting outside the door.

"What's the matter?" Meng Yuan asked.

"I still owe you a picture of the secrets of heaven. Change your tone." Dugu Kang said.

"Master Liaokong, is there something wrong?" Meng Yuan was under the eaves.

"I'm here to invite you to discuss poetry with the president." Dugu Kang smiled.

"I'm busy." Meng Yuan refused and said, "I'm going to Zuiyue Tower." "It's a good opportunity for us to go together!" Dugu Kang was happy.

Meng Yuan finally understood that Dugu Kang had clearly expected that he would go to Zuiyue Tower and was just making an excuse to meet the president.

"Those who have entered the monastery are surprisingly cunning and deceitful." Meng Yuan said.

"Whatever you say." Dugu Kang is as fearless as a dead pig.

It was just morning when the two of them went out together and headed towards Zuiyue Tower.

When we arrived, the front door was already open and Nie Qingqing was already waiting there.

She had her hair tied up and was dressed like a woman. Her summer gown was a little thin. She held a feather fan in her hand and had a smile on her face.

"Sister." Meng Yuan walked up to Nie Qingqing and held her hand, not caring what others thought.

Dugu Kang snorted twice and went upstairs.

"When did you come back?" Nie Qingqing asked with a smile.

"Yesterday evening." Meng Yuan squeezed her hand. "I wanted to come to see you after I finished my mission, but I had a lot of things to do and the princess asked me to stay for a talk. It was too late and I didn't have time to come."

"I'll believe you for now." Nie Qingqing didn't pull her hand back. She just smiled slightly and looked at Meng Yuan's face while saying, "It's a little darker, but it makes you look more heroic."

"I bought this when I was on a business trip and thought it would suit you." Meng Yuan took out an exquisite wooden box, opened it and saw a small green jade comb.

Nie Qingqing picked it up and played with it without saying anything.

"I want to comb my sister's hair tomorrow morning." Meng Yuan said.

Nie Qingqing heard this, and there was a charming look in her eyes, "It's not convenient these few days."

"That's fine." Meng Yuan had already calculated that it wasn't these few days. "I just miss my sister."

After talking to Nie Qingqing for a while, Meng Yuan asked about Master Nie.

"My father has been staying at home these days." Nie Qingqing let Meng Yuan grab her hand. "When I left, he was still at home. Do you want me to send someone to look for him?"

"No need, I'll go there myself." Meng Yuan nodded.

"There's no need to be so troublesome." Nie Qingqing looked up outside, "It's so hot in the sun, don't rush back and forth."

"If he runs back and forth, I don't have to run back and forth?" Nie Yannian walked in, frowned, and nodded at Nie Qingqing, looking very unpleasant.

"He just came back from a business trip, how can it be the same?" Nie Qingqing made a point.

"Go, go, go!" Nie Yannian impatiently drove Nie Qingqing away, then looked at Meng Yuan and asked, "When did you come back?"

"Last night." Meng Yuan smiled.

The two of them went upstairs together. Nie Yannian saw Dugu Kang, chuckled a few times, and whispered, "I think you have learned how to use poetry!"

The three of them sat opposite each other and were served tea, snacks and dried fruits.

"What about the garrison?" Meng Yuan did not beat around the bush.

"Captain Li has recruited some more people, but Old Zhang is still sitting around doing nothing." Nie Yannian held his teacup and laughed softly, "I heard that his men Huang Yousheng and Qiu Bulai have lost contact, and our Captain Li is worried."

"What else?" Meng Yuan asked again.

"The Yang family's affairs?" Nie Yannian now looked at Meng Yuan again and said, "I heard that you are capable."

"Master Nie is a good teacher!" Meng Yuan smiled.

"Yang Huaiyi is missing." Nie Yannian sighed, "There is indeed something wrong with him. The Yang family also said that there is no news from him."

Meng Yuan immediately thought that the Yang family might really be related to Prince Xin.

"Remember," Nie Yannian said, not caring about Dugu Kang's presence, "I guess Yang Huaiyi wouldn't dare to cause you trouble, but it's better to be careful."

Meng Yuan nodded and agreed.

"Master Nie, how do you expand your Dantian?" Meng Yuan was actually more concerned about this question.

"How many acupoints have you opened now?" Nie Yannian asked curiously.

Dugu Kang ate candied fruit and put his ear close to him.

"Five locations have been opened now." Meng Yuan replied honestly.

While working outside, Meng Yuan took advantage of every opportunity. Now, in addition to the Shimen acupoint, he has opened four corresponding acupoints: kidney water, lung metal, liver wood, and spleen earth. With these, he can use the magical powers of Spring Thunder, Floating Light Cave Heaven, and Misty Rainbow.

Yesterday, Meng Yuan acquired the Heart-Burning Skill. As long as he opened the two corresponding orifices of his heart, he could activate it.

Meng Yuan was previously busy catching people for Chen Shouzhuo, and now that he finally has some free time, he plans to open a few more acupoints as soon as possible.

"You're really fast!" Nie Yannian patted Meng Yuan on the shoulder and laughed, "Bring me some wine!"

However, Nie Yannian nodded at Meng Yuan and said, "As the old saying goes, if you take one step faster, you will take all the steps faster. But young people can be fast, but they can easily become impatient! Your problem now is that you are too fast! Being too strong will easily break, but being too fast? It's easy to lose stamina and not last long."

He spread out his hands, "Not enough stamina won't do, and not being able to hold on for long won't do either! You have to do it step by step, with both speed and slowness! Otherwise, how can my sister be happy? Isn't that the truth? If you want to be fast, then be fast from the beginning to the end! Don't be fast at the beginning, or you'll fail at the end! I have to teach you this principle today!"

"Teacher Nie, I'm here." Dugu Kang said helplessly.

"Does the prince also understand these niche knowledge?" Nie Yannian asked curiously.

"Your disciple has broadened my horizons for me." Dugu Kang said.

"My apologies!" Nie Yannian bowed to Dugu Kang, then frowned and looked at Meng Yuan, as if he was doubtful.
