foreigner's journey

Chapter 5 Open Mind

It rained heavily all night and didn't stop until early morning.

As the sun rises, a light mist fills the hillsides of the Nonlimu Mountains, and the babbling streams and the chaotic bird calls are mixed together.

Whether it's Iznaby, Heather or Kurapika, they are all types of mobility points, tents and waterproof measures are ready.The three of them were sitting by the fire at this time, chatting while using the heat to bake the clothes that were soaked up last night.

"So, Kurapika, do you want the power to [fight alone]?"

"Yes, please tell me everything about [Nan]."

Izenaby turned over the three tree branches with the horse mouth fish on them, and then touched his stubble-covered chin:
"To put it simply, the energy overflowing from the body is called 'Qi', and the ability to freely manipulate 'Qi' is called 'Mind'. [Tangling], [Absolute], [Practice], [Fa], the above become the four elements , collectively known as [Mindfulness], is to 'sublime the mind, exercise the mind', in other words, it is the practice of enhancing the process of self-will."

"As a human being, no matter who you are, you have a lot of 'qi', but most people let it run away. The technology to keep these qi in the body is [wrapping]."

"Tangling..." Kurapika looked thoughtfully at Heather, who was sitting on the other side staring at the grilled fish: "Heather will 'wrap' too?"

"Heather, you are different from most people. He is born with the ability to think. Although it is not perfect, blocking the 'qi' lost in the body is like the instinct of breathing for him."

Izenaby was stared at by Heather and had no choice but to hand him a skewer of grilled fish: "Don't compare yourself to a little monster like Heather, listen to me first."

"Yes, please continue."

"[Absolute] is to cut off the qi and eliminate the breath. It can make oneself invisible and eliminate the presence of the enemy and not be detected by the enemy, and it can also help oneself restore energy. On the other hand, the technique of releasing chi that exceeds the normal level is [practice]."

"Finally, the free manipulation of the released qi is for [sending], and the above are the four elements of [mind], which need to be practiced step by step."

Izenabi handed another bunch of grilled fish to Kurapika, picked up the last one by himself, blew it and took a small bite, the skin of the fish was slightly crispy but the flesh was tender: "I want to teach you, Let’s start with [Tangling] first.”

"Can I ask a question, Master?" Kurapika stared at Izenabi without eating any fish.

"Well, ask. Hiss...it's hot!"

"If you cultivate your mind, can any strong enemy be defeated?"

Looking at Kurapika's brown eyes that couldn't contain his emotions, Iznabi smiled slightly: "You want to ask [Can thoughts kill people?], right?"

"Yes."

"Yes." Izenaby's answer was succinct: "Hunters are not a good man's profession, killing and fighting for their own hunting goals are inevitable, so [read] is essential for professional hunters, The rule of permission to kill also exists for this reason, you should understand when I say this? Speaking of which..."

Yzenaby turned to look at Heather, who was nibbling on grilled fish with relish, and sighed, "It's amazing to look at it a few more times. Your glasses are no longer 'everything', Heather."

Heather, who had restored the shape of the pot lid bangs and black-rimmed glasses, said 'ah': "Really? I don't know. This is a birthday present from my mother, and I have been wearing it for many years."

"Contaminated by the qi of you, a person who is born with the ability to read, and being catalyzed by your 'hidden face' thoughts every moment, this pair of glasses can already be called a 'spiritual device', and the effect should be to help You hide your true face. Now even if I look straight at you with 'condensation', I can't see your true face, this is the proof."

"Really? Let's call it [Superman's Contact Lenses]."

Heather ate the grilled fish cleanly, wiped his mouth and looked at his cheap master: "Should I also start learning from [Tangling] with Xiao Kuku?"

"Senior Brother Heather, I've said it many times, just call me by my name."

"Okay, little cool."

"........."

"No, you two don't train the same way. There is one very important thing to do before you start studying."

Izenaby walked to a huge half-human-high rock and patted the surface of the rock lightly: "Well...it's big enough, both of you come and sit on the rock."

The two sat cross-legged on the stone as he instructed.

"Next, I'm going to send my qi into your body. Although it's a bit rough, it can pry open your [sperm hole]. To put it simply, because the [sperm hole] is closed, qi can't be free in the body circulation."

Izenaby rolled up the cuffs of his martial arts uniform, and an invisible aura began to gather on his body:

"As long as you scare the sleeping body, it can enter a state that is easy to cause [entanglement], is it simple?"

Feeling the powerful aura behind him, Kurapika wanted to say something, but in the end he remained silent.

Suddenly, Heather asked, "Wait a minute, teacher, is the way of opening [Nan] so sloppy? Isn't there supposed to be a gradual type?"

Yzenabi nodded: "Indeed, the orthodox way is to rely on meditation and sitting meditation to feel one's [Qi], and only after you feel the [Qi] surround the body will the acupoints open one after another. But there are two of them. key point."

"The key point?" Kurapika couldn't help asking.

"First, Heather's innate psychic constitution is no longer suitable for this method. He can only open the sperm hole by forcibly opening his mind."

"What about the second key point?" Kurapika nodded, which was indeed a reason.

"The second key point is - I don't know the traditional way of cultivation! That's how my master helped me forcibly open my mind, and so did my master's master!"

Izenaby said confidently: "You two boys are so much nonsense, get ready, it's about to start!"

Master Cheap stood behind the two of them, with his hands open toward the backs of the two of them.

Even if it didn't touch it, Kurapika could feel the strong heat and force pushing against the back, and it felt like an illusory sense of expansion.

"Attention!"

drink!
Two palms slammed on the backs of the two of them, and Kurapika was shocked!The next moment, I only felt the heat burst out from the whole body, and the clearly visible [Qi] spewed out uncontrollably like the steam spouting from the spout of the kettle.

"This...this is..."

Kurapika began to feel his body softening, did he start to lose his strength?

He gritted his teeth and looked at Izenaby, and found that the latter was looking beside him with a cold sweat on his face. What happened?
In Izenaby's field of vision, Kurapika's qi burst out instantly, which was to be expected, but something was wrong on Heather's side.

Have you ever felt a hundred huge fireworks bundled together explode right under your nose?

The unimaginable [Qi] exploded in an instant, both in quality and quantity far surpassing myself, a master of mental ability who has been training for more than 20 years!
Immediately reacted, Izenaby wanted to open his mouth to instruct Heather to restrain the [Qi] to achieve [Tangling], but found that the terrifying Qi had subsided.

The thick [Qi] like a silent river covered Heather's body and flowed slowly.

In just a split second, Heather perfectly controlled the Qi and drew it back into the body, as natural and simple as breathing.

Is this the innate ability to read?
……monster!

For some reason, Izenaby suddenly felt a trace of fear in his heart. Did he release some terrible monster?If Heather... no, if he really wants to do evil, it's also the problem of his own teacher's failure to teach.All you need to do is try your best to guide this rare genius into the right path!
With a cold sweat on his face, Izenabi turned his attention to Kurapika, and calmly opened his mouth to guide:

"Can you see it? This is the [Qi] in your body, Kurapika. If you just ignore it like this, the Qi in your whole body will quickly drain, and I'm afraid you won't even be able to stand up after that."

"Want to... how to do..."

"While thinking about keeping [Qi], I stabilized my body."

Izenaby folded his arms and said loudly: "Close your eyes and imagine your own figure, any posture is fine. Imagine [qi] as the blood circulation throughout the body, starting from the top of the head, passing through the right shoulder, hands, feet, and then to the left, The cycle repeats."

"Next, imagine that the airflow slows down, gradually stops, and floats around to form a wall."

After a few minutes, Kurapika was finally able to control the [Qi].

"Yes, a lot of people have fallen on this step."

Iznabi rubbed his chin and looked at Kurapika standing in the open space: "How is it, how do you feel?"

"It's like wearing weightless clothes, wrapped in viscous liquid."

Kurapika held his hands in a strange way, as if opening the door to a new world: "Is this [reading]? It's amazing..."

"Don't get intoxicated. When you can even put your [Qi] in and out when you sleep, you will be considered to have initially achieved the practice standard of [Tangling]."

Although Iznabi is strict, he is very optimistic about Kurapika's aptitude.He can learn [Tangling] in a few minutes. This is not something ordinary people can do. He really has the talent of a hunter.

"How's Heather?" Kurapika turned around and looked for it, only to find Heather sitting cross-legged on the stone, but he didn't see the same thoughts condensed on the latter's body, and couldn't help but worry: "He It won't fail, will it?"

"Do not……"

Ezenaby scratched his head: "Heather has automatically entered the [absolute] state."

"Absolutely!?"

Kurapika is no longer calm, doesn't he say that the practice of the four major elements should be gradual?How come I just learned to entangle, and he can use it?

"I said, don't be like Heather, he's not like us."

Izenabi looked serious: "Look, has his sense of existence become very weak? This is because he has tightened and isolated the fine holes and breath in his body. As long as he is in this state, he can even hide from the master of mind ability. Approaching the corner behind him."

At this time, a small amount of qi suddenly gushed out from Heather's body, covering his entire body, so he sat on the stone and stretched, and saw Kurapika at a glance: "Ah, Xiao Kuku has completed the [wrapping]? Soon!"

"Uh...Thank you for the compliment." Kurapika didn't know whether to complain or be polite.

Izenaby clapped his hands and let the two look at him: "You two have successfully opened your mind, the next thing to do is to try your best to become familiar with and master [Tangling], to a level where you can freely retract it at any time. "

"I will keep an eye on you all the time, and when this stage of practice is completed, we will move on to the next step."
