The first Taoist priest of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 66 Medicinal Bath

Zhong Wen, who returned to his own room, began to try the method taught by the master just now, feeling and understanding.

As the heat in the lower dantian rose, Zhong Wen was very excited when he felt the heat begin to gather, but he was afraid that he would be too excited and the heat would dissipate.

There is nothing happier than this moment, at least, Zhong Wen can already be said to be a beginner, as long as this enthusiasm runs every day, in the future, maybe he can also become a master of the inner family.

It's a pity that no one shares my happiness, and no one knows my worries in the past two years.

It's not that Zhong Wen is afraid of death, but that he can't really feel the unknown.

Since Da Zhongwen came here, he has always been concerned about safety, whether it is his own, or his parents and younger sister.

Besides, his father was beaten and injured all over his body. All of this made Zhong Wen always keep in mind the matter of ensuring safety.

Although, this is just the beginning, maybe it's just a role just getting started, but all of this is so important to Zhong Wen.

Zhong Wen memorized the operation of the exercises, so he dared to try it in the room. If Li Daoling knew about it, he must scold him a few words, and then stop Zhong Wen from such reckless behavior, and even prohibit Zhong Wen from blindly Carry out the operation of that inner air.

In Li Daoling's cognition, for a young guy who has just started, such a reckless behavior will inevitably suffer backlash.

Maybe it was because Zhong Wen was lucky, or maybe it was because Zhong Wen had no possibility of backlash, which caused Zhong Wen to circulate the internal energy in his body for a week.

Although Zhong Wen wanted to continue to run it again, he found that he was already soaked through.

After he circulated the inner qi in his body, the heat generated in his body had already excreted sweat from his body, and even began to expel the impurities in his body.

This made Zhong Wen not only drenched, but also had a bad smell.

Zhong Wen didn't expect such a result. Fortunately, the weather is only spring now. If it's winter, it's really possible to freeze himself to death.

Zhong Wen opened the door, peeked to see if the master was outside, and ran away immediately after not seeing the figure.

"No one found me. Otherwise, I would have thought that I couldn't take care of myself. This stinks."

After Zhong Wen ran out to watch, he took a deep breath, but the stench of his body was always coming from his nose, which almost made him want to vomit.

On the right side of the gate of Longquan Temple, there is a step, go down, there is basically the water source that needs to be used in the temple.

Of course, the water here basically belongs to spring water, and the Taoists in Guanli also purposely dug a well here, using a lot of stones to make a well, so that it is convenient to fetch water.

Not far from the water outlet, there is a pool, which is basically used for washing clothes, but now it is used by Zhong Wen to clean the stink from his body.

"Hiss, the water is too cold."

Zhong Wen came to the edge of the pool and jumped in directly. This made Zhong Wen shiver from the cold, but after a while, it was basically not cold anymore, which is the same as winter swimming.

It's a pity that it's not summer now, and the Taoist uniform that Zhong Wen is wearing must be impossible to dry quickly, so he can only go back and change into the Taoist uniform after washing.

In fact, Zhong Wen still has other clothes, and it's not impossible to wear them. Just like his master, he usually doesn't wear Taoist uniforms sometimes, and he is all ordinary clothes.

Zhong Wen didn't really care much about what he wore, as long as he didn't get cold, and there were a few patches, it didn't seem to be a big problem.

Zhong Wen, who had been washed, was blown by a gust of wind and shivered from the cold. Fortunately, Zhong Wen has a thicker foundation now, otherwise he might get sick from the cold.

He trotted back to his room, took off his clothes, and put on another set of Dao uniform, just as Zhong Wen was putting on his trousers again.

"Jiu Shou, why did you go? Why did you get soaked all over?"

Li Daoling got in from nowhere, and Zhong Wen was so frightened that he froze on the spot, so embarrassed, it was as embarrassing as being caught while playing with the Five Finger Girl.

"Huh? Why is there a strange smell here? No, Jiushou, did you practice your own kungfu just now? You are dying? Why didn't you listen to the master? Fortunately, you are fine."

Li Daoling sniffed, smelling the stench in the room, and finally knew what Zhong Wen was doing, Li Daoling was still very clear about this smell, it was the smell of impurities eliminated from the body by practicing internal martial arts.

"Master, I'm fine, and I just tried a little bit just now."

Zhong Wen quickly put on his trousers, and said cheekily, knowing that the master in front of him must be unhappy, otherwise his tone would not be so strong.

"Jiu Shou, remember, you can't do this in the future, let's go, I will take you to the medicinal bath as a teacher."

Li Daoling knew the stakes. Fortunately, nothing happened to his disciple, but he had to talk to this disciple about what happened today.

"Master, why do you use the medicated bath?"

Zhong Wen followed behind Li Daoling, asking carefully. Regarding the medicinal bath, he always thought it was on TV, but now, he wanted to try the medicinal bath again, and he was really looking forward to it. It has been frozen in the pool outside Guanwai for a long time, so I need to take a good soak this time.

Maybe Zhong Wen's understanding is wrong. This medicinal bath is not just like taking a bath as he thinks, but a lot of medicinal materials are added to a large pot, and then the fire is added below to serve as medicinal materials. After the potion is fully boiled and decomposed in the potion, the people who practice the internal martial arts will strip off their clothes and put them into the cauldron to start soaking, and the temperature must basically be maintained above [-] degrees.

Li Daoling in front did not reply, he will not reply, not everyone has the opportunity to take this medicinal bath, and in a lifetime, it only needs to be soaked a few times, the first time the effect is the best, after that Decrease until the effect is pitifully small, and then stop.

In fact, as for Li Daoling himself, he only soaked it three times, and basically it didn't have much effect.

As for Zhong Wen, Li Daoling still had great expectations in his heart, at least he believed that as his disciple, he should be able to achieve more than six or seven times.

As for the real image, we can only wait for Zhong Wen to take the first medicinal bath before judging.

When Li Daoling brought Zhong Wen to an open space not far from the kitchen, there were quite a few Taoists waiting there.

There are many stones on the open space, and a large pot is placed on the stones, and white gas is coming out of the pot.

When Zhong Wen saw this scene, his heart began to beat. Could it be that he wanted to kill himself like a pig?After boiling the water first, it is easy to shave, it seems like this.

The scene in front of him was basically the same as the scene of slaughtering pigs that Zhong Wen saw in his previous life in the countryside. Zhong Wen inevitably began to feel a little nervous.

Chapter 67 Cooking

"Master, can we stop soaking in this medicated bath?"

Zhong Wen was terrified, seeing the steam rising from the cauldron, this is not a medicine bath, this is the way to kill a pig.

"Jiu Shou, you don't need to be nervous. When I was young, I also took three medicinal baths. As long as I have experienced the first time, the rest will be fine."

Li Daoling looked at the disciple behind him, and knew in his heart that he was nervous and scared, just like when he was young, when he took the medicine bath for the first time, the medicine in the pot directly made him cry loudly.

No way, Zhong Wen really couldn't do it anymore. Hearing what his master said, he became more nervous and scared.

But it was impossible for him to run away, maybe he still had such a slight expectation in his heart, maybe this medicinal bath was really just a bath.

"Nine Poems, take off the Taoist clothes." When Li Daoling walked over with Zhong Wen, approached the big iron pot, and directly called Zhong Wen to take off the Taoist clothes, which made Zhong Wen even more nervous. Not even one point.

After Zhong Wen heard this, he really didn't want to take off his Taoist clothes, but Li Daoling had spoken, so he could only act according to his words. As for what to do next, he had no way to stop him. If he wanted to run, but he couldn't win, if he wanted to fight, then You have to have that strength too.

Although it was a bit embarrassing to take off the Taoist uniform in front of so many people, but considering that I was only 12 years old, it didn't matter if I thought about it. Could it be that adults still laugh at children?

"Jiu Shou, put yourself into the pot by yourself, hold the Yuan and keep the one, circulate the inner Qi, don't be afraid of being scalded, let alone be nervous and afraid, just bite it and hold it out."

Standing aside, Li Daoling instructed Zhong Wen word by word, not treating Zhong Wen as a human being at all, even if it was a pig, it would howl a few times before killing it, but Zhong Wen was Don't dare, and won't.

Although the fire under the cauldron was not strong, Zhong Wen saw that the potion in the pot was already dark black, and there was a heavy smell of medicine, which was really fatal to him.

Zhong Wen walked to the side, stepped on a stone, and tested the temperature of the liquid medicine in the pot with his hands. Zhong Wen's hand was immediately scalded and retracted immediately.

"Nine poems, put it in the pot."

Li Daoling was not far away, and shouted loudly to Zhong Wen.

But this sentence directly made Zhong Wenlei a little unbearable. With this sentence, Zhong Wen felt that this little life was going to be handed over here today. This is really treating himself as a dish.

Zhong Wen gritted his teeth and stepped directly into the cauldron.

"Ah, hiss, hoo, ha."

After Zhong Wen stepped into the pot with one foot, what he felt was not hot, but very hot, and various voices burst out of his mouth. People who didn't know thought Zhong Wen was enjoying a massage service.

"Remove the fire."

Li Daoling looked at Zhong Wen's expression, as if feeling too hot, he yelled at the other Taoists, and the Taoist who was standing by the cauldron quickly took the firewood out from under the cauldron.

At this time, Zhong Wen was in a dilemma. One leg felt familiar, but the other leg was still outside, and the bird in the middle was stuck in the middle.

Fortunately, Zhong Wen is only a 12-year-old baby, and he hasn't grown up at all, otherwise, this would be embarrassing to death.

In fact, Zhong Wen was already terribly embarrassed, but under pressure, he had to.

In the cauldron, there is actually a wooden board with holes at the bottom, which is probably specially made for Zhong Wen to sit in the cauldron.

Otherwise, if Zhong Wen stepped into the bottom of the pot with one foot, then if he stepped on it with great strength, he might directly step on a big hole.

He was ruthless, gritted his teeth, raised his other foot, and stepped into the pot, not daring to move, as long as he moved a little, it would bring Zhong Wen bursts of pain.

"Nine Poems, sit down, sit in the middle."

Li Daoling didn't give Zhong Wen a little bit of buffer time at all, and directly called Zhong Wen to sit down. To Zhong Wen's ears, it was like a lullaby.

But Zhong Wen had to obey orders, even if he cooked himself, he had to act according to the words, but it was impossible for the master to harm himself.

Afterwards, Zhong Wen gritted his teeth again, moved to the middle, and sat down directly.

"Ah, ho, ah, hiss."

No matter what the state is, the expression on Zhong Wen's face, and any word he yells, he hopes to relieve a little bit of pain through this method.

"Hold the Yuan and keep the One, run the inner Qi, and don't stop."

Li Daoling's voice came over again, Zhong Wen's thoughts were already confused, how could he hear Li Daoling's words.

"Nine Poems, listen, hold the Yuan and keep the One."

Li Daoling knew that his disciple's thinking was beginning to be a little confused, so he hurried over and patted Zhong Wen with one hand as a reminder.

Zhong Wen came back to his senses, and after listening to his master's words, he followed his words, and began to embrace the Yuan and keep one, and circulated his inner energy.

But after Zhong Wen acted like this, he realized that it didn't seem to be that hot anymore, or he just distracted his attention.

As Zhong Wen began to circulate the inner qi, a clear stream of inner qi gushed out from the lower dantian, and began to follow Zhong Wen's thoughts towards the Ren channel.

"You all leave first, I will take care of this place."

Li Daoling yelled to the other Taoists standing aside, and then all the Taoists left one after another, even Chen Feng did not stay.

"Nine Poems, listen well, now I will start to teach you the operation method of the whole exercise, so that you can remember it."

After Li Daoling saw all the Taoists leaving, he patted Zhong Wen, who was still in luck, and began to teach Zhong Wen the operation route of the whole master's internal martial arts in a low voice.

A quarter of an hour later, Li Daoling basically finished speaking, and Zhong Wen also finished memorizing. As for whether he really remembered it or faked it, Li Daoling didn't make the distinction for the time being, because he needed to start adding firewood to the cauldron. Heat up some more.

"Jiu Shou, you have to hold on, I'm going to heat this pot of potion now, and run the inner qi route I taught you just now, it's all up to you now."

After the firewood was added, the fire started to ignite, and Li Daoling gave Zhong Wen a few more instructions, completely ignoring whether Zhong Wen in the cauldron could stand it.

Although Zhong Wen was in some unbearable pain from being scalded by the potion in the cauldron at this time, in order to practice this internal martial arts, he had to calm down, embrace Yuan Yuan, and stimulate the heat in his body, Come to the veins.

No one can understand what kind of state Zhong Wen is in at this time. The unity of man and nature can be said to be true or not. At least Zhong Wen doesn’t know what state he is in now. The situation is the same.

The body absorbed the medicinal power of the potion, and the lower dantian gradually began to generate more heat, from a small stream at the beginning, to continuous streams, and then flowing like a clear stream.

And as Zhong Wen kept circulating the inner qi in his body, his mind was completely empty, let alone completely empty.

This state is more comfortable than the previous so-called epiphany. If it was comfortable before, but now it can only be said to be comfortable.

Chapter 68 Cooking

Li Daoling was watching over Zhong Wen, and sometimes he would test the temperature of the liquid in the pot. As long as it was too hot, he would remove some firewood, and if the temperature was low, he would add some more firewood to ensure that The temperature of the potion in the pot.

As for Zhong Wen, he didn't know what was going on with the outside world at all. At this moment, he was trying his best to stimulate the internal energy in his body, over and over again.

After running for a week, it starts to excrete some impurities from the body, and at the same time, it absorbs the power of the medicine.

At this time, Zhong Wen, except for the nose, was basically flushed red.

In addition to being soaked in this hot potion, of course it also has the effect of this potion. In addition, it is caused by Zhong Wen's circulation of internal energy.

If Zhong Wen knew that his whole body was red at this time, he would definitely think, lobster, yes, that's right, Zhong Wen really looks like a cooked crayfish at this time, the red one can no longer be redder.

Time goes by bit by bit, just like in an instant.

Li Daoling removed all the firewood and stood quietly at the side, looking at Zhong Wen in the cauldron.

It has been two hours since Zhong Wen stepped into the cauldron. All the Taoists have already finished their breakfast, but only Li Daoling and Zhong Wen are still hungry.

Of course, Li Daoling knew that it didn't matter whether he was hungry or not. He could only choose to stay by the cauldron and guard his disciples.

As for Zhong Wen in the cauldron, he didn't even feel hungry.

At this time, the internal energy released from the dantian in Zhong Wen's body has already changed from a clear stream to a stream-like state, flowing like a never-ending stream.

Zhong Wen, who is immersed in his own world, doesn't care whether he is hungry or not. He has long been unconscious of external things.

In addition to mobilizing the internal qi in his body, Zhong Wen also seemed to rearrange and combine the internal exercises in his mind, calculating a more accurate and effective method.

如果，李道陵知道自己的爱徒如此冒险，必然会揍死钟文的，这样的行径，除了对祖师的大不敬，那就是一种不要命的方式。

Of course, no matter how stupid Zhong Wen was, he wouldn't tell Li Daoling about this matter.
