Shennong Sequence

Chapter 138: The fortune teller comes, tells fortunes, steals luck
"The art of martial arts requires gradual progress. How can there be a quick way to achieve success?"

Shentu saw that Zhao Yun was restless in his studies and began to speak.

He also advised:

"Look at the many apprentices in my martial arts school. Which one of them is not practicing diligently? Which one of those martial artists in the Qi and Blood Realm did not achieve their success after going through countless trials and tribulations?"

"Also, if I really have a quick way to achieve success, wouldn't I want to have a few more Blood Qi Realm masters in my martial arts school so that my school can prosper?"

"How can it be so easy to get a free lunch in this world?"

"If you really encounter the so-called quick success method, you must be careful! It is either a trap set by others, or it is a disguised evil method..."

Seeing that Master Shen directly rejected the quick-fix method, Zhao Yun didn't say anything more.

He was carrying a yellow cloth, and every time he practiced the Five Organs Breathing Method, he actually made some subtle progress. It was just that he had not yet gotten started, so it had not really shown on the yellow cloth.

"At worst, I can practice diligently in this martial arts gym in the afternoon, and continue to practice hard in the guard post at night. Who knows when I will be able to master it..."

Zhao Yun thought in his heart.

In addition, although Master Shen did not teach Zhao Yun a quick method, he also used other methods to assist him in practicing the Five Internal Organs Breathing Method.

Master Shen Yuan used the Five Internal Organs Breathing Method, and guided Zhao Yun's breathing rhythm with his own, allowing Zhao Yun to feel the rhythm...

After practicing like this until the evening, Zhao Yun suddenly caught the rhythm in his breathing and in his chest.

Then, when he grasped the rhythm tightly, he felt a faint vibration throughout his body!
With every breath, there is a strange rhythm vibrating, which makes the five internal organs and even the six internal organs of the body excited by this strange rhythm.

And little by little, spread the ripples of breathing vibration throughout the body!

It also seemed to be coordinating the state of the whole body in other rhythms...

At the same time, a mysterious feeling emerged from the yellow cloth in his sea of ​​consciousness and poured into Zhao Yun's heart, allowing him to continuously absorb the mysteries contained therein!
In addition to the insights, there is also a mysterious force that falls into the internal organs, tempering the strength of them!
After Zhao Yun completed his comprehension, he also looked inward at his own sea of ​​consciousness.

I saw five kinds of breathing methods emerging from the yellow cloth!
[10th skill: Five-organ breathing method (beginner)]

[Progress: (1/200)]

[Effect: absorb the five elements of Qi, nourish the five internal organs, and coordinate the whole body]

After Zhao Yun digested the feedback from the yellow cloth after learning the Five Internal Organs Breathing Technique, when he opened his eyes, he saw Master Shen staring at him.

"Master Shen, what are you doing?"

Shentu was very puzzled and asked:
"You are not right. I remember all types of breathing techniques. As long as those with higher cultivation levels start practicing from the beginning, they will become more difficult to practice!
On the contrary, for young children who know nothing about this breathing method, it would be easier to learn it when they start from scratch.

And now that you have entered the rank and are all Sequence 9 practitioners, according to my estimation, it will take you about half a month to a month to truly regulate the instincts of this physical body and operate it according to the special rhythm of the breathing method.

Hmm~? Are you a martial arts genius?"

Shentu walked around with some confusion, turned around Zhao Yun who had practiced the Five Internal Organs Breathing Technique, smacked his lips, a little bit unable to believe it.

Because Zhao Yun somewhat violated the law of reversing the instinct of the physical body when practicing the breathing method!
"Don't move, kid. Stand still and let me feel your bones. I want to see if your bones are suitable for martial arts training." Master Shen suddenly said.

The essence of Shentu touching Zhao Yun's bones was to intentionally teach Zhao Yun something else.

But Zhao Yun had experienced the incident of Captain Niu touching bones!

Therefore, when they heard the tall and strong Master Shen suddenly talking about the bone-touching thing.

Suddenly, I felt an electric current surging from my tailbone, rushing into my brain along my spine!

A bad impression instantly echoed in Zhao Yun's mind!

He shrank his body and slipped away from the hands of Master Shen who was trying to touch his bones from behind.

In addition, Zhao Yun compared the speed at which he learned breathing techniques in the past few days with the speed at which he learned magic techniques.

He already knew that his progress in martial arts practice was far inferior to his progress in magic.

In addition, Zhao Yun also roughly figured out his strongest talent, which should be in the attribute of "earth"!
His talents in other attributes are slightly inferior.

As for the aptitude related to water, it is the worst among all talents.

Well, at this moment, it would be fine if Master Shen said he wanted to touch his bones.

Zhao Yun wanted to know what level his martial arts qualifications were in the martial arts evaluation system...

Just when Master Shen started touching Zhao Yun's bones from behind, Zhao Yun had a bit of a stress reaction!

"Well, Master Shen, just give it a rough touch."

When Shentu saw Zhao Yun dodge just now, a look of vigilance appeared between his eyebrows.

He also thought that he had just touched someone's bones from behind, which was indeed not appropriate, so he said, "Okay, I'll touch your arm and I can also tell the general bones."

Zhao Yun then stretched out his left arm and asked Master Shen to start feeling his bones.

Shentu first pinched the muscles on Zhao Yun's arm, the bone joints between his arm and shoulder, the bones between his palms, etc...

"Your physique is considered to be above average in terms of martial arts training."

"But you don't need to be discouraged. Because the root bones of ordinary people, or the vast majority of ordinary people, are of low level. Only a few people can be rated as medium, and only one in a hundred can be rated as high!"

"Also, even my two disciples who cultivated blood energy only have low-level physiques... and your physique is above average, almost the same as mine... If you are willing to practice martial arts, you will achieve something..."

After touching Zhao Yun's bones, Shentu's impression of him changed to a certain extent.

After all, how could such a talented martial artist learn those techniques?
Especially for farmers, their status is not high when they are farming, but when they enter the war system, it is not easy for them to get off when the war is about to start... Therefore, Shentu wanted to persuade Zhao Yun to join the martial arts school.

But then he thought again, Zhao Yun had made considerable contributions recently, and it seemed that there must be a large amount of merit waiting for Zhao Yun to consume it.

In his small martial arts school, there were only three or five people who had reached a certain level, including himself.

I really don't know how many resources I have to bring Zhao Yun in...

Afterwards, Shentu looked at Zhao Yun, a good seedling, again, but all his words turned into a sigh.

"Hey, you have already mastered the Five Internal Organs Breathing Method. Add to that your physique, strength, magic power, and spell abilities, and if you learn some more fighting skills, I think you will be able to fight my second disciple Gong Mingyang on equal terms."

"Moreover, this breathing method is not just like what your master said before, which is to only enhance your digestion and absorption abilities. Instead, it strengthens the five internal organs in a coordinated manner, nourishes the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth contained in the five internal organs, and then regulates the entire body, thereby strengthening the five elements of the entire body, and the physical body will naturally become stronger..."

"At the same time, if you use this Five Organs Breathing Method properly, it will be very useful in terms of concealment, or in coordinating your own control state, etc."

"To put it simply, if you meet someone who is stronger than you, the pressure he releases from his aura may overwhelm you, causing your soul to lose control of your body."

“But once you have mastered the breathing technique, you will be able to coordinate your body and soul, bringing them into a unified state, and then be able to resist that kind of pressure a little…”

"Of course, what I said is just a metaphor. When you really meet such a powerful person, you should bow your head. It's no big deal. You can just start over later..."

Zhao Yun listened to Master Shen's personal experience and thanked him, "Thank you for sharing this experience, Master Shen."

Shentu shook his head and said bluntly:
"I've told you so much because I see that you've been very popular recently. Maybe there will be some great opportunities in the future. I'm telling you in advance to show some kindness."

"In addition, I have another thing to tell you. Although there are many wealthy families, martial arts schools and gangs in Yanshan City, you have wiped them out again a few days ago."

"But in the past, when I went out for a walk along the street, I heard many people in this city talking about you and had some hatred towards you..."

"So, your last cleanup was not complete. There are still many jackals, tigers and leopards that have not been completely cleaned out and are still lingering in the cracks of this city."

"When you walk around the city later, you should pay more attention to your own safety!"

For Zhao Yun, getting a kind reminder is better than those people who hide in the dark and make enemies with him because of their connection with the barbarians or various interests.

"Thank you, Master, for waking me up."

After thanking Master Shen for his reminder, Zhao Yun bathed in the brilliant golden light that was shining through the sunset between heaven and earth, and returned along the main street to the Ministry of Agriculture.

After Zhao Yun walked a short distance, a fortune teller wearing a bright yellow robe and carrying a purple gourd on his back came towards the street. In his hand he also held a flag fluttering in the wind, with the words "I can predict eight out of ten things in the world" written on it.

Zhao Yun stepped aside and made way.

But then, the fortune teller also took a step away and happened to stand in front of Zhao Yun!
After that, the two of them avoided each other twice, but each time it seemed as if they were avoiding each other synchronously.

Zhao Yun sensed something unusual, so he stopped and pointed to the street behind him and said, "Why don't you go first, old man?"

"Don't go, don't go. My friend and I have been avoiding each other, but we have met again and again. This shows that you and I are destined to be together. Why don't you let me, an old Taoist, tell you your fortune? No matter whether it is your future fortune or misfortune, whether you are noble or humble, good or bad, I can tell you everything."

Zhao Yun had just been in the Black Tiger Boxing Gym, where Master Shen had done a bone-touching trick on him. His vigilance had not yet completely subsided.

The fortune-teller came towards him, and it seemed that he and the old man had synchronized their avoidance three times.

But judging from Zhao Yun's vigilant look, he felt that the old Taoist was deliberately blocking him and trying to find a reason to tell fortunes...

Besides, he is a time traveler and has a golden finger, so what does it matter?

If you accidentally calculate some of your abnormalities, wouldn't that be causing trouble for yourself?
So, Zhao Yun doesn’t need fortune-telling!
He only believes in himself, taking one step at a time, and eventually he will be able to walk on the sky!

"I have entered the Dao path and survived the natural disaster. From now on, my fate is in my own hands. Old Taoist priest, please calculate the fate of ordinary people."

Zhao Yun passed the old man by.

After walking a dozen steps,
Zhao Yun looked back again, only to find that the fortune-teller was staring at the top of his head with a smile on his face.

Suddenly, Zhao Yun had the same feeling as when he held the little fox to meet the four-tailed celestial fox Tushan Tianmiao.

It was as if my luck was being observed by others...

Then, Zhao Yun frowned, walked among the crowd, and quickly returned to the Sinongjian.

When he found Zhang Sinong, Master Sun happened to be sitting here, waiting for him to come back.

Zhao Yun thought for a moment, then stepped forward and said, "Master, Zhang Sinong, I just met an old fortune teller on the street wearing bright yellow clothes and holding a flagpole with the words: 'I can predict eight out of ten things in the world.' He stood in front of me and insisted on telling my fortune..."

As soon as Zhao Yun finished speaking, Zhang Sinong and his master Sun Zhengxuan slammed their hands on the table, stood up and asked, "Did you ask that old man to tell your fortune?"

Zhao Yun immediately felt that something was wrong, so he said hurriedly: "I felt that the old man was coming towards me, so he wanted to tell my fortune, but I didn't let him and just left."

When Sun Zhengxuan heard this, he slowly exhaled, exchanged a glance with Zhang Sinong, and then sat down again and said:
"You were right not to ask that old man to tell your fortune. And according to your description, you must have met someone from the fortune-telling family."

"And this Xiang family is notorious among us practitioners..."

"When the people from the physiognomy family travel around the world, they like to do things like fortune-telling and divination... Of course, if they really want to predict good or bad fortune, then that's fine."

"It's just that the people of this Xiang family always like to do things secretly."

“For example, if a fortune teller tells a person with good fortune about his career or wealth, if that person gives enough money, nothing will go wrong.

If you want to give less silver, then the missing silver will be taken directly from the corresponding person's luck by the Xiang family. "

"If the Xiang family can only do this, then we can only blame others for their greed..."

"But in fact, the people in the fortune-telling house are very unruly. As long as you have your fortune told, they will take away a part of your luck regardless of whether you pay enough..."
