Beginning with the Five Animals Fist to Become a Saint

That night.

A figure in a blue dress floated across the night sky, like a ghost, disappearing in a flash.

A blue figure cut through the sky and slowly landed on a big tree next to Jiangning Mansion.

This person is Yu Manyun.

"It's pitch black? Is there no one here?" Yu Manyun looked at the darkness ahead, a flash of doubt in her eyes.

After much inquiries during the day, she finally found Jiang Ning's residence.

To be on the safe side, she chose to come late at night to test Jiang Ning's strength.

After all, she knew Xiao Emei's abilities.

Xiao Emei failed in her mission, which was enough to prove that Jiang Ning was not that simple.

But for the position of palace master, she must fight for it.

But she didn't expect that when she came here in the dark, she would find the entire mansion was pitch black and eerily quiet!
Standing on the tree branch, Yu Manyun looked ahead and thought for a moment, then tapped her toes and gently floated into Jiang Ning's mansion.

After half a cup of tea of ​​careful exploration, Yu Manyun opened the door of the mansion and walked out.

"Sure enough, the building is empty!"

"Did he know I was coming? Did he leave with his family before me?"

Yu Manyun muttered to herself as she stepped over the threshold.

After her careful investigation just now and the residual heat from the stove, she knew that Jiang Ning's family had left today.

I heard that he has a martial arts master. I'll go ask him tomorrow!
Yu Manyun looked back at the dark house behind her and immediately made a decision in her heart.

the other side.

Beep——

Sparks exploded, and Jiang Ning and others' faces turned red under the illumination of the bonfire.

"Uncle, it's a bit cold!" The little bun snuggled into Jiang Ning's arms.

"You won't be cold after you eat something!" Jiang Ning patted her back gently.

Nowadays, the temperature difference between day and night is huge.

The better and cloudless the weather is during the day, the colder the night will be.

He could feel that the temperature was almost approaching zero degrees.

So even if there is a bonfire burning, releasing light and heat, it will still feel cold.

Feeling the little bean in his arms trembling slightly, Jiang Ning immediately placed his palm on her back and circulated his internal energy to warm her.

Neidan health-preserving exercise is a Taoist method of strengthening the inner self, which is moderate and peaceful in nature.

With the nourishment of internal energy, the little bean bun's face gradually became rosy.

"It's so warm!" The little bun rubbed Jiang Ning's chest with a sweet smile on his face.

aside.

Liu Wanwan looked at this scene and couldn't help but smile.

She already knew her brother-in-law's abilities.

With such ability, Xiao Doubao can get close to him and won’t have to worry about anything in the future.

Just like Jiang Yiming, before the couple had made plans for Yiming, Jiang Ning had already made arrangements for him.

At the age of fifteen, he entered the martial arts realm and enrolled in the Wuyuan.

In the future, entering an academy and entering the Taoist temple will be a natural thing.

at this time.

Jiang Li's voice came.

"dinner time!"

Hearing this, Xiao Doubao immediately looked up.

“I want to drink!!!”

"You're indispensable!" Liu Wanwan rolled her eyes at her own daughter.

After a while.

"Uncle!" Jiang Yiming brought a bowl of fish soup with lots of fish meat.

This is also their dinner tonight.

Being away from home and sleeping outdoors naturally causes many inconveniences.

Fish meat that has been preserved for two hundred years can provide a lot of calories to the human body.

Just a small bowl of it can keep you from being afraid of the cold night wind.

This is also the most suitable food for them.

Jiang Ning took the big bowl handed to him by Jiang Yiming.

"Aning, let me hold the little doubao!" Liu Wanwan stood up and walked over.

Just now.

The little bean bun curled up in Jiang Ning's arms immediately grabbed Jiang Ning's clothes tightly.

"No no no!!"

"Be good and listen!" Liu Wanwan coaxed the little kid.

"Doubao likes to snuggle in uncle's arms, it's very warm!" Little Doubao still tightly grasped Jiang Ning's clothes.

"Sister-in-law, it's okay, I'll feed Xiaodoubao!" Jiang Ning smiled.

"Then I'm sorry to trouble you, Aning!" Liu Wanwan looked apologetic.

Jiang Ning smiled and shook his head again.

Then, Jiang Ning looked at the little bean bun in his arms.

"Open it, be careful of the heat!"

"Uncle, I can do it myself. I'm grown up now and can be self-reliant. I don't need anyone to feed me anymore!"

"Okay, okay!" Jiang Ning burst into laughter: "Little Bean Bun has grown up!"

"That's right, I've grown up!!" As soon as these words came out, it seemed to give Xiao Doubao a lot of motivation.

She immediately got out of Jiang Ning's arms.

"Drink slowly, be careful of the heat!" Seeing Xiao Doubao holding up a bowl as big as her face and about to bury her head in it, Jiang Ning immediately spoke up to remind her.

After a while.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, they felt warm all over.

"Brother, I'll be on guard tonight!" Jiang Li spoke first.

"No need for Big Brother to come in person!" Jiang Ning shook his head and continued, "Just let Old Turtle come!"

"What?" The old turtle lying on the grass beside him looked up at Jiang Ning: "My Lord, me?"

"Yeah!" Jiang Ning nodded and looked at it: "Any questions?"

"No!" The old turtle shook his head again and again: "No problem! I've had enough sleep over the years, and it's okay to not sleep for one or two nights!"

Jiang Ning said: "That's it!"

"Yes, my lord!" replied the old turtle.

Jiang Li saw this scene from the side and had no objection.

"Brother, if that's the case, I'll take Xiaodoubao back to sleep!"

Hearing this, the little kid, who was only as tall as Jiang Ning's waist, immediately hugged Jiang Ning's thighs tightly.

"Dad, I won't! I want to sleep with my uncle tonight."

"Brother, look"

Jiang Ning touched Xiao Doubao's head and said, "Brother, I'll sleep with Xiao Doubao. I have plenty of space in my car."

"That's fine!" Jiang Li nodded.

Because the facts are just as Jiang Ning said.

We are camping in the wilderness tonight, and the only place we can sleep is in the carriage, which is not very spacious.

After returning to the carriage.

Lu Yi immediately lit the charcoal stove.

The small carriage was suddenly filled with warmth.

Under the candlelight, Xiao Doubao lay in Jiang Ning's arms.

Jiang Ning patted her back gently with one hand and continued to read the book with the other hand.

In his previous life, he also developed the habit of not going to bed early.

If we calculate the time now, it is only between the hours of Xu and Hai.

In my previous life, I would have just gotten off work at this time!

He doesn't belong to anyone.

【.】

As time passed, the experience points of reading and writing slowly increased.

Jiang Ning heard the sound of Xiao Doubao snoring.

At this moment, he also heard the sound of Luyi yawning.

Looking up, I saw Luyi's mouth was wide open, and she was gently patting her mouth with her right hand. Tears appeared in the corners of her eyes. This was clearly a sign of being extremely sleepy.

"Go to sleep if you're sleepy!" Jiang Ning said.

"Sir, I'm not sleepy!" Lu Yi shook her head.

"Don't hold on!" Jiang Ning smiled.

"I'll accompany you to read for a while!" Lu Yi said.

Seeing this, Jiang Ning no longer forced himself and continued to read by lamplight at night.

An hour later.

He turned to the last page and finished reading the book in his hand.

When he looked up, he saw Lu Yi leaning against the wall of the carriage and falling asleep.

He shook his head helplessly.

He first placed the little bean bun in his arms on the couch and covered it with a quilt, then got up and walked to Luyi's side.

Just two breaths after picking her up, Jiang Ning suddenly felt Lu Yi's body become tense.

He smiled, put Luyi next to Xiaodoubao, and then covered them both with a woolen blanket.

Then he continued to sit in the carriage and read.

For one night, it made no difference to him whether he slept or not.

There was only the old turtle outside taking a walk, and he felt uneasy, so he simply did not sleep and continued reading to gain experience in reading and writing.

In the blink of an eye.

A few days passed.

along the way.

Because we had a family with us, we couldn't travel very fast.

But Jiang Ning was not in a hurry.

It made no difference to him whether he arrived in Dongling City a few days earlier or later.

And even when he was on the road, he did not delay his practice.

Whenever there was sunrise and the weather was clear, he would fly onto the top of the carriage and breathe in the essence of the sun towards the sky above his head.

To him, the interruption of his journey had absolutely no effect at all.

Because of the properties of the Water and Fire Fairy Robe, breathing in and out the essence of the sun no longer put any burden on his internal organs.

He also did not need to be as cautious and careful as Wang Jin every time he refined the essence of the sun. He did not dare to be distracted and needed an environment where no one would disturb him.

Breathing in and out the essence of the sun is just a routine action required in practicing qigong.

As for the rest of the time, it is used to read books to improve the ability of reading and writing.

Therefore, during these days of traveling, his progress did not fall behind at all.

We also took some time to rest for a day in a county town along the way, had a good meal and took a comfortable hot bath for the whole family.

[Source Energy]: 3384.67
"The energy points provided by the meat of an electric eel that has been in existence for more than 200 years are indeed quite good!"

Looking at the source energy column on his panel, he couldn't help but nod slightly.

These days, what I and my eldest brother, his wife and their family have basically eaten is the meat of the two-hundred-year-old electric eel.

Because the energy provided by the fish is so rich, for ordinary people, after eating a meal of it, the whole body will feel warm and they will not be afraid of sleeping in the open air.

Otherwise, with the current temperature difference between day and night, ordinary people sleeping outside in the open air are very likely to catch a cold and have a fever.

Also because of the single intake these days, he realized that the energy contained in the fish meat was truly extraordinary.

If the whole electric eel entered his stomach, he felt that it would be no problem to increase the source energy points by a few hundred.

Then, his gaze moved down again.

[Skills]: Reading and spelling (six times to break the limit of 2356/7000) (Features: photographic memory, extraordinary five senses, quick thinking, outstanding understanding, clairvoyance, superb six senses)

Inner Dan Health Preservation Exercise (Minor Achievement 4588/5000)
After these days of accumulation, both skills have improved significantly.

The experience points for literacy have exceeded two thousand points.

The experience value of the Inner Alchemy Health Preserving Exercise has also exceeded 4,500 points, and it is only less than 500 points away from the great success of the Inner Alchemy Health Preserving Exercise and the transformation of internal breath.

With his efficiency, as long as everything continues to go smoothly, it will only take four or five days at most.

Just now.

The carriage suddenly stopped.

"Brother!"

"Brother, what's wrong?" Jiang Ning walked out of the car and saw Jiang Li looking at him seriously.

At this time, the convoy in front also stopped.

Yesterday, after resting in Baisha County, they went out early in the morning and traveled with a caravan for dozens of miles. They chatted along the way and became much more familiar with each other.

The caravan knew that they were going to Dongling City to visit relatives, so they invited them to go with them.

Jiang Ning thought about it for a moment and nodded in agreement.

So Jiang Li was asked to deal with the matter.

Normally, no one would refuse to travel with a large caravan.

After all, when you are out and about, having more people can help you avoid a lot of trouble.

As the world has gradually become chaotic in recent years, even the officialdom has become uneasy.

There are often thieves who rob people on the road and outlaws who gather in the mountains.

After leaving Luoshui County a few days ago, he encountered several waves of thieves who blocked his way and robbed him, which made him very annoyed.

There were two occasions when he was breathing in the essence of the sun, but there were still ignorant thugs blocking his way.

Along the way, he realized how dangerous it was for ordinary people to travel far away in this era.

This is also the reason why he chose to join the caravan.

At least it can reduce a lot of minor troubles.

And to follow the large caravan, one only needs to hand over five taels of silver.

It can reduce a lot of trouble and gain some convenience along the way.

Subsequently.

Jiang Ning looked forward.

I saw that more than a dozen carriages in front had stopped.

It was noon and the sun was shining brightly.

next moment.

He saw a middle-aged man in a long gown and cotton trousers running towards him.

"Brother Liu, what happened?" Jiang Ning asked.

The middle-aged man in front of him was a manager of the caravan ahead, and it was he who made the invitation.

"Mr. Jiang!" the man spoke.

Jiang Ning felt helpless when he heard this.

Since Liu Guangqi learned yesterday that I was going to Dongling City to take the imperial examination, he became extremely enthusiastic towards me and started addressing me as "Scholar".

In Liu Guangqi's words, this is the respect that should be given to scholars.

Then, Liu Guangqi continued, "There is Shuangyang Mountain ahead. After passing Shuangyang Mountain, we will reach Dongling City in one day."

"Is there any legend about Shuangyang Mountain?" Jiang Ning immediately caught the meaning of Liu Guangqi's words.

"Jiang Xiucai is really smart!" Liu Guangqi praised, and then continued: "There is a village chief in Shuangyang Mountain who blocks the road and collects tolls. For safety reasons, the caravan needs to rest before entering Shuangyang Mountain to recuperate and prevent unexpected conflicts."

"So that's it!" Jiang Ning nodded immediately.

Liu Guangqi said: "Jiang Xiucai, you don't have to worry, I will definitely get you to Dongling City smoothly and won't delay your success in the imperial examinations!"

"Besides, the village chief is very righteous. He has always accepted money and released people. He has never broken the rules! We are just being cautious, just in case!"

Jiang Ning said, "I feel relieved after hearing what Brother Liu said."

He then smiled.

He didn't know about Shuangyang Mountain before he came here, nor did he investigate any relevant information.

Because of his current strength, he doesn’t need to worry about the ordinary mountain kings.

It is difficult for a truly strong person to fall to this point, becoming a bandit and ruling the mountains.

Wait until Liu Guangqi left.

Jiang Li said: "Brother, according to my understanding, the mountain king in Shuangyang Mountain is an outer disciple of the Vajra Temple. He is very strong and has the strength of the seventh rank of martial arts. He should not be underestimated."

"He's quite a character!" Jiang Ning nodded in praise. He immediately understood why the large caravan ahead was so solemn before entering the mountain.

A seventh-rank martial artist would be considered a big shot anywhere in Dongling County.

Such people have many choices. The fact that they choose to become bandits is enough to show that they act according to their heart and do not care about worldly prejudices.

Then Jiang Ning continued: "But don't worry, big brother. If there is a conflict, it won't be a big problem."

"Then I feel relieved!" Seeing Jiang Ning's calm face, Jiang Li was also relieved. (End of this chapter)
