Long Xiangtian suddenly felt that he had not cherished the opportunity before and had failed to live up to the old man's expectations, but the old man gave him a chance to start over, which really surprised him. He realized that he promised that he would not fail the old man's expectations this time, and that he would learn something and defeat Xiao Wuji!
However, before he resumed his practice, Long Xiangtian felt that he should find the old man to express his gratitude and clearly tell him that he would practice well and would never be half-hearted, sloppy, or half-hearted. He thought: "I didn't expect the old man to be so kind and to be so good to me that he was willing to let me stay and continue to practice ancient martial arts. I must live up to his expectations and practice seriously to let him know that I didn't recognize the wrong person. I must practice ancient martial arts seriously and defeat Xiao Wuji." Long Xiangtian was very excited. Without saying anything, he quickly ran out of the room to find the old man first. This reminded him of his name. Long Xiangtian, bold and straightforward.
He walked to the door of the old man's room, took a deep breath, knocked on the door, and asked, "Old man, I have something to ask you, can I come in?" After a long time without answering the door, Long Xiangtian was very curious, so he said, "Old man, I want to go in, sorry." He pushed open the door, and found that the room was empty. Unexpectedly, the old man was not in the room, and only the incense in the room was burning silently. Long Xiangtian was very annoyed and had to go find Xiaomi.
He walked to Xiaomi's door and knocked on it. "Miss Xiaomi, are you in the room?" Long Xiangtian asked politely. Xiaomi responded loudly: "Oh, wait a minute, can I change my clothes?" Long Xiangtian replied: "Well, it's okay, don't worry, take your time."
After a while, the door finally opened. Xiaomi was wearing a fresh overalls suit, looking very pretty and cute. She asked leisurely, "What's wrong? Why are you so anxious? Take your time." Long Xiangtian said, "Have you seen the old man? I want to thank him for letting me stay."
Xiaomi asked curiously: "Isn't the old man in the room?" Long Xiangtian: "I went there, but the old man was not there." Xiaomi replied: "Really? Then I'll go with you to find the old man. And I didn't expect that you are such a polite person and would go to the old man for this matter." Long Xiangtian said modestly: "No, of course you should be humble, and I still have something to ask of you."
"By the way, do you have the confidence to defeat Xiao Wuji?" Xiaomi changed the subject.
Long Xiangtian pondered over this topic, and then said: "I don't have confidence now, because I haven't studied hard yet, but since the old man has given me this opportunity again, I will definitely learn something." "Xiaomi said in surprise: "You are really motivated. I hope you will continue to be so motivated and defeat Xiao Wuji."
As they walked and talked, they finally found the old man, who was in a small forest. He was sitting on a tree stump, his eyes closed, cross-legged, with a fairy air around him, as if he was a fairy descending to earth.
The old man took a deep breath, inflated his belly, and then exhaled to fully empty his abdomen. The old man relaxed the muscles of his whole body, breathed calmly, then stretched and flexed his hands, and breathed deeply through his nose until he could no longer inhale air. Then he moved the inhaled air down to Dantian, held his breath and adjusted his breathing for about a few seconds, and then moved it from Dantian to the lungs, trachea, and larynx. He inhaled air again and moved it down to Dantian Qihai.
Xiaomi was about to go up to the old man and call him, but was stopped by Long Xiangtian, who signaled Xiaomi not to disturb the old man's practice, as he wanted to learn from him. And practicing requires a quiet environment.
Suddenly, the old man opened his eyes and looked at the tree next to him. Xiaomi and Long Xiangtian held their breath, wanting to see what would happen next. The atmosphere was tense for a moment. The old man attacked the tree with a gust of palm wind. Unexpectedly, all the leaves of a towering tree fell off, and the trunk seemed to be about to break.
Long Xiangtian was very surprised: "I knew the old man was powerful, but I didn't expect him to be so powerful." The old man made another move. He jumped up to a height of about ten meters, and then rushed down like an arrow, punching the ground with his fist. At that moment, Long Xiangtian seemed to see a fire between his fist and the ground! The ground did not crack, but Long Xiangtian and Xiaomi both felt the vibration.
Xiaomi was stunned, Long Xiangtian was very excited. He also wanted to become a powerful person like the old man. He didn't ask to learn everything, but hoped to learn half of it.
Long Xiangtian carefully observed the old man and found that his every move was very useful and beneficial to practicing qigong. He learned to breathe in and out like the old man, but he couldn't breathe out before he could do it. Long Xiangtian shook his head and thought: "Sure enough, I still need to learn from the old man! I really admire him!" Thinking about it carefully, the meditation the old man just did also has profound meaning. It is not an ordinary meditation. When using breathing, you should eliminate distracting thoughts and focus your thoughts on Dantian. That is, focus on Dantian. People who just practice qigong have distracting thoughts that come and go, which is not easy to control. But after repeated practice, distracting thoughts will gradually decrease over time, and thoughts will be concentrated to a very high level, and then you will reach a state of tranquility. Concentration of thoughts should be natural and gentle, and it is wrong to force it too much. Long Xiangtian thought that the old man's realm is probably unmatched, and it is probably already an overwhelming realm. Sure enough, there are masters among the people. I am afraid that no master of Wudang or Shaolin can compare to him. The old man didn't even use any weapons, he was so powerful with his bare hands. Although there was no crack on the ground from the punch just now, the vibration was so big that it was probably like an earthquake. If the punch had hit the body, the consequences would have been disastrous.
The old man took out a sword, and Long Xiangtian hurriedly looked at it carefully, fearing that he would miss something. The sword energy was overwhelming, and the world was filled with a sense of desolation and murder. The old man gathered his strength and threw the sword at the towering tree. Long Xiangtian heard a slight "snap" in his ear, and the tree slowly fell down. The movement of falling to the ground woke up Xiaomi, who was in a daze. Xiaomi came back to her senses and was startled. She opened her eyes wide, tightly grasped the corner of Long Xiangtian's clothes next to her, and was so excited that she couldn't speak.
After a long time, the old man resumed his original action, clasped his hands together, closed his eyes and concentrated, as if what had just happened was just a trivial matter. People who didn't know him might think he was a kind and amiable old man, but they didn't know the inner strength hidden in his body.
He was obviously an old man, but he exuded the youthful vitality of a young man. Long Xiangtian was more determined to learn from the old man, and he had more respect and admiration for him in his heart.
Xiaomi pushed Long Xiangtian, and Long Xiangtian finally came out of his wild thoughts. Long Xiangtian looked at Xiaomi, and Xiaomi said, "Long Xiangtian, if you also practice ancient martial arts, you will definitely defeat Xiao Wuji."
