Happy Shennong

Chapter 239 Continuing to Strengthen
As we all know, the Chinese nation has been a state of etiquette since ancient times. When a guest comes, the host will not continue to do his own business and ignore the guest.Even if it is someone who is not welcome to see, they will put down the work at hand and greet them symbolically.

From this point of view, what the people on the totem show is not the relationship between the host and the guest.

After subverting his first impression, Linley looked at the connection of the characters on the totem several times, and suddenly his heart moved...

The several characters on the totem are all dressed in the same way. Although their appearances are not clear, they seem to be similar.Linley thought, could it be a person depicted on the totem?What the characters in the totem are doing are not happening at the same time, but fragments of their lives?
With this breakthrough, he deduced it several times along his own guess.Although it feels a little unreasonable, there is still continuity: the ancients finished their day's farm work, went to the pool to get some water, and went home to make tea for drinking.Then start to sit quietly and go to sleep after a while.When I wake up early the next morning, I will do a set of boxing techniques to relax the tendons and activate the arteries, and start a new day.

The only thing that Linley felt was unreasonable was that tea was refreshing and not suitable for drinking before going to bed.This is something of common sense, and the ancients should be able to sum it up from their lives.However, this unreasonable place is not absolute.Because the totem person sits quietly after drinking tea, and then goes to bed.

Maybe people sit in meditation for a long time?Or what people drink is not tea in the ordinary sense?
With this level of consideration, it's not that Linley is preconceived, but that he has another idea.

The totems on the first floor also depict pictures of the ancients resting, but they used pool water to take a bath.Some time before entering the second floor, he felt that taking a bath was useless.There is no bathing scene on the totem on the second floor, which means that after entering the second floor, there is really no need to take a bath.But Shennong Tower's strengthening of the master's body should not end there.

Since the method of bathing is no longer available, it should be replaced by other methods...

"Hiss... I understand!"

Thinking of this, Linley suddenly realized.If you guessed right, instead of taking a bath, which is a way to strengthen your body, you should drink tea, tea made with pond water!At the same time, the four words "both internal and external" that Senior Yuan Nong reminded emphatically flashed into his mind again unknowingly.

Before, I took a bath and used the pool water to strengthen my body from the outside.After entering the second floor, instead of taking a bath, drink the pool water to strengthen the body from the inside.

It's like body training and marrow cutting mentioned in many fantasy novels.Body training is to strengthen the body skin and polish the flesh from the outside.Cutting the marrow is to strengthen the bones, muscles and internal organs.Only when the inside and outside are strengthened to a certain extent, can one break through the limits of the mortal body, enter a higher level, and become a monk who is many times stronger than ordinary people.

Although Linley wasn't practicing, he also used the pond water to strengthen his body, the reason is the same.

If this is the case, then tea may be a cover, or a carrier, because the pond water is the key.

And apart from this idea, there seems to be no better explanation.As far as his current state is concerned, it is true that he needs to strengthen his body at a deeper level from the inside.His strength has already broken the limit of human beings.It's just that strength is not the only criterion for measuring combat effectiveness.

Just like a computer with only an advanced processor, it doesn't necessarily have good performance.

The human body is a whole, no matter how powerful it is, if it can't keep up with the opponent's rhythm, if it can't touch the opponent at all, it can't beat the opponent to the ground.Even if he can keep up with the rhythm, if he doesn't have superb moves and rich actual combat experience, he can't make the best use of his superior strength.In addition, anti-strike ability and defensive ability are also indispensable abilities for masters.

Every organ and every tissue in the body must be strong enough to have the potential to become a master.

The more Linley thought about it, the more he felt that he must have guessed right. He finally figured out the meaning of "cultivating both internally and externally". A little excited, he immediately found a cup that was about the same size as the one used by the ancients on the totem, and took a cup of pool water , took out the Shennong Tower, and returned to the bedroom.

He didn't make any tea either. After taking a few deep breaths, he raised his hand, raised his head, and drank the pool water.Considering that the pool water is irritating, he quickly found a cushion and sat cross-legged on the ground.Following the appearance of the ancients on the totem, it is like a monk sitting in meditation. The whole body is relaxed, the waist is straight, and the hands are naturally placed on the knees.Then try to keep breathing evenly, let the body and mind calm down.

For a while, the house was surprisingly quiet.Not to mention the needle dropping, he could hear even the faint sound of the curtain being lifted by the breeze.

Suddenly, he frowned and almost exclaimed.

Because of the pool water he drank, he suddenly reacted.As he expected, the unheated and unblended pool water will generate heat, just like liquor.I didn't feel it when I drank it, but now it was hot from the mouth to the throat and then to the stomach, hotter than he imagined.

Fortunately, the heat was still within the range he could bear, so he sat without moving.It stands to reason that the heat will not last long, and it will dissipate after a while...

After about 3 minutes, he felt the heat in his mouth, throat and stomach weakened a bit.Just when he thought the heat was starting to dissipate, he suddenly realized that the heat didn't seem to disappear, but was shifting!Transfer from the throat line to all parts of the body!
In just a few minutes, the heat spread all over his body.It feels like taking a sauna.

No, more thorough than a sauna!

The heat felt in the sauna is from the outside to the inside.And the heat he felt on his body at this moment came from the inside out.It is still 360-degree omni-directional without dead ends, as if each cell has shared a certain amount of heat.

When taking a bath before, he felt that there were bugs in the water drilling into his body.Now the pool water he drank was not blended, and that feeling was even stronger.And now he still feels that there are many bugs in his body, all of which are squeezing out, and may tear his skin at any time.

As the sitting time increases, the uncomfortable feeling of body swelling becomes more intense.His whole body started to sweat.Especially on the forehead, bean-sized beads of sweat flowed down the angular cheeks, merged at the chin, and dripped down continuously.

"Hiss... cluck!"

Linley felt as if his body was about to explode, but he clenched his teeth and remained motionless.

But his mind was a little messed up, dizzy, and he had a bad thought: did he misunderstand the totem and the reminder of "both internal and external cultivation" left by Senior Yuan Nong?Didn't the ancients on the totem drink from the pool?Or the pool water that has been blended?

However, what the totem wants to express should be the meaning he understands, right?Judging from the details of the totem, the pool water that the ancients drank did not show signs of blending.The only difference between what he did and what was shown on the totem is that he didn't add tea to the pond water.

In fact, he wasn't sure what the ancients in the totem mixed into the pool was tea.

In his opinion, there is really no need to add "ingredients"...

While he was meditating, the uncomfortable feeling gradually weakened.When he came back to his senses, he realized that his body was much more comfortable.Although it was still a little hot, at least my body was not swollen, and my sweat was not as much as before.

"It seems that those uncomfortable feelings just now should be normal! If you want to strengthen your body, what can you do without suffering?"

Linley's head also came to his senses, he put aside the sudden thought just now, no longer doubted himself, took a deep breath, entered the state again, and sat up seriously.

Perhaps it was because his mind was calm and naturally cool, and it didn't take long for him to feel his body returned to normal.

But when he opened his eyes and glanced at the electronic clock beside the bed, his eyes widened in astonishment.Unexpectedly, after he started to meditate again, it felt like 10 minutes had passed at most, but he actually sat for more than two hours!At this time, it was more than two o'clock in the middle of the night...

He stood up and stretched his muscles.In the middle of the night, most people would have slept several times, but he felt refreshed.It's just that my body is covered with sweat stains, sticky, a little uncomfortable, and a little hungry.He hurried to take a shower, feeling much better immediately, then picked up an apple and started to chew.

After eating, he stopped, stared at the apples, and thought of an idea: How about planting some fruit trees in the open space in the tower?The fruit from the fruit trees planted in the tower and irrigated with pool water must be better than the fruits on the market, and it may also have the effect of improving physical fitness.

Although the land in the tower is limited and he can't plant too much, he doesn't plan to sell the fruit to make money, so he eats it himself.With such a magical treasure as Shennong Tower, if you still eat ordinary fruits, you will be too sorry for yourself!
The more Linley thought about it, the more reliable he felt, and decided to go to the city tomorrow to inquire about the farmers' market to see if he could buy fruit trees.If you really plant a fruit tree, you can pick a few from the tree if you want to eat it later.Whether it's for a tooth-fighting festival or for pretending to be aggressive, this idea is excellent...

"Well, just do it!"

Linley nodded, confirming his thoughts.Then, with a wave of his hand, he threw it casually, and the fruit core was thrown into the trash can three meters away.That accuracy is not much better than that of top basketball players.

He was in a good mood and had a good appetite. He ate another apple before going to bed.

The next day, when it was time for work, he called Liu Yuxuan to his office.

Liu Yuxuan sat down opposite Lin Lei, and asked casually, "Arranging tasks for me so early? I haven't even turned on the computer yet. Is there such a strict boss like you?"

"Uh...sorry, I'm in a hurry." Linley touched his temple and said boldly, "I'm going to the city in a while, please help me with the accounting of the company's account. I need a lot of funds in the near future. Keep enough of my expenses, and the rest will be transferred to my card!"
