Chapter 304: If the essence is weak, the "qi" will not be generated; if the spirit is weak, the "qi" will not be condensed
He first looked at the big tree and found that it didn't hit anything, but just blocked a small section of the road. He saw that the broken part of the tree was flat and smooth. He was stunned for a moment, but didn't ask anything. Instead, he made a joke.
But while speaking, he was observing the changes in Du Ruo's expression.
In fact, Du Ruo didn't spend too much time thinking just now. With Du Ruo's current "spirit", his mind was full of thoughts.
You can figure out a lot of things quickly.
The fall of the big tree just now did attract some villagers.
However, ever since the last time fully armed soldiers with guns delivered things to Duruo's yard, these villagers are not as curious as before.
When seeing Du Ruo, he would still say hello or ask a few questions, but if there was nothing else, he basically would not go near the yard where Du Ruo was.
They only knew that Du Ruo had made great progress, and they were proud of him. There were also rumors on the Internet that Du Ruo had cooperated with the police and the military. They knew that Du Ruo was amazing, so although they were not afraid of Du Ruo, they did not want to get involved in trouble.
After all, the things were escorted here by military vehicles. If anything important was lost in Du Ruo's yard, they would not be able to take the responsibility.
So after they discovered that the trees outside Du Ruo's house had fallen, they just looked at it from a distance. After seeing that Du Ruo and Xiang Yuanyuan were fine, they said something to Yang Chenguang and did not come over to ask more questions.
"No, I just broke it by accident. But since it's already broken, let's plant another tree. Come and have some tea."
When Du Ruo saw the look on Yang Chenguang's face, he sighed inwardly, but did not show it. He just made another cup of tea.
"Forget about the tea. I'll call someone to clean it up, or should we just do it ourselves?"
Yang Chenguang did not sit down to drink tea, but looked at the yard and then asked Du Ruo. He was a little confused about what Du Ruo was thinking.
"No need, someone is here to take care of it. Look~ they are here already."
Du Ruo pushed the brewed tea forward, then raised his chin and asked Yang Chenguang to look towards the village entrance.
Yang Chenguang looked in the direction he was looking and saw an ordinary truck driving into the village entrance. Standing on the truck was a row of people dressed like decorators.
If these people had not had dark skin, short flat heads, and if they had not stood with their backs straight, and stood in a row on the truck with their eyes straight ahead, Yang Chenguang would have almost believed that these people were decorators.
"Well, I'll just drink tea then."
When Yang Chenguang saw this scene, he moved a little and came to Du Ruo, holding the teacup, and stopped talking.
When Xiang Yuanyuan saw the truck stop, she stopped studying those things, patted the non-existent dust on her hands, and also came to Du Ruo and sat down to look at these people.
The truck stopped and these people started to move as if no one was around. Some were moving trees, some were cleaning up the damaged weapons racks, all in an orderly manner, without even communicating with each other. Their movements were unusually light and did not make much noise.
"Mr. Du, let's clean this place up first, and then transport the same objects here as soon as possible. We will definitely be able to restore this place to its original state before tomorrow morning."
The three of them drank tea and watched them busy. A man who looked like a "contractor" trotted up to Du Ruo, stood straight, and shouted something in full force.
"No, please just clean these up, fill in the holes on the ground, and then... please replace that tree with another one. Yes, plant a Huangshan pine. By the way, bring me a bill and account number when the time comes."
Du Ruo waved his hand and took a look at the seldom-used objects in the yard. He didn't want to get any more things for practicing martial arts. This was not his yard, so he could take this opportunity to restore it to its original state.
"Yes!!!"
The "contractor" subconsciously stood at attention and then turned around.
These people came and left quickly. In total, it took only about fifteen minutes, including digging out the roots of the tree.
"Okay, I have nothing to do now. I'll go to the group and explain that the yard is going to be renovated, and I'll also deal with the tree that was infested by termites."
After these people left, Yang Chenguang had no intention of continuing to sit down and drink tea. He had to explain in the village group to prevent anyone from spreading rumors.
Fortunately, Yang Chenguang had told these villagers many times not to spread videos or photos about Du Ruo casually.
He knew that the higher-ups were now preparing to allocate funds to rebuild roads and construction in Yangjia Village and Dujia Village, and all of this was brought by Du Ruo.
The biggest loss would be if Du Ruo didn't return to the village because of the villagers watching or spreading videos.
……
After sending Yang Chenguang away, the matter came to an end.
Du Ruo didn't care what the rumor was in the village. As long as no one came to disturb him, it was fine.
At the same time, he did not stop developing his own abilities.
There is still potential for further exploration of the "Five Qis", and since Du Ruo has nothing to do anyway, he might as well study it.
In the middle of the night, the village had become quiet, but the group of "renovators" from the daytime carried a Huangshan pine into the village.
Each of them, holding a shovel and a hoe, planted Huangshan pine trees of the same bowl-sized thickness in the place where the trees had been dug out.
Finally, they left a note with detailed expenses and taped it on the door of Duruo's yard. After doing all this, these people left in person.
……
"Good morning, husband~" The next morning, when Du Ruo opened his eyes, he saw Xiang Yuanyuan, who was leaning on the pillow with her arms, greeting him with a smile.
Because he was at home, Du Ruo was sleeping and resting normally, and he would not be distracted to look around. Some ordinary movements around him would not disturb him.
He would only be aware of it if someone had malicious intentions or was carrying a weapon.
"Morning, wife~"
Du Ruo kissed Xiang Yuanyuan on the corner of her mouth, then prepared to get up.
It was just past five in the morning, and the next step would be the regular meditation and exercise time for the two of them.
"Honey, I have a gift for you."
Xiang Yuanyuan took out a box from under the pillow with a smile and handed it to Du Ruo.
"Hmm? That's perfect. I have a gift for you too."
Du Ruo was stunned for a moment when he saw the box in Xiang Yuanyuan's hand. This box looked familiar to him. It was the same box that Brother Quan gave him yesterday.
He immediately remembered why Brother Quan didn't leave after dinner yesterday, and left immediately when he went out to get the medicinal wine. It turned out that Xiang Yuanyuan also had a surprise for him, and the two of them really thought of the same thing.
After Du Ruo finished speaking, he got up from the bed, took out two boxes from the cabinet beside him and handed them to Xiang Yuanyuan.
"Hey, shall we open it together?"
Xiang Yuanyuan had the same thought the moment she saw the box.
Then they both opened the boxes in their hands at the same time.
The box in Du Ruo's hand contained the gem ring, while the box in Xiang Yuanyuan's hand contained a mutton-fat jade ring.
"Wow, it's so beautiful, my husband, please bring it to me."
Xiang Yuanyuan was very happy to see the red gemstone ring. She first put the jade ring on Du Ruo, and then stretched out her finger, expecting Du Ruo to put the ring on her.
After Du Ruo put it on her, she kept raising her hands and looked at it with a silly smile on her face.
"There's a whole set of jewelry in here, too."
Du Ruo opened the big box below and then put them on Xiang Yuanyuan one by one.
For the whole day that followed, Xiang Yuanyuan didn't go anywhere. Apart from cooking for Du Ruo, she just stared at the ring and smiled foolishly.
What she cared about was not the ring, but the meaning it represented. Du Ruo did not ignore these details just because they got their marriage certificate.
Of course, not only she knew about this, but also her besties, parents, and even many netizens knew about it.
After receiving the gift, she rarely updated a short video, taking many close-ups of the ring that Du Ruo gave her.
Du Ruo cooperated well with the filming. Seeing the smile on Xiang Yuanyuan's face, he felt that it was all worth it.
At the same time, when he was bored, in addition to thinking about the "Five Qi", he would rub the ring on his hand with his fingers.
The morning passed quickly. Xiang Yuanyuan didn't go anywhere today. She just leaned against Du Ruo and admired the ring for the whole morning.
In the afternoon, Du Ruo dragged Xiang Yuanyuan to the yard. Inspired by yesterday's sword practice, Du Ruo decided to let Xiang Yuanyuan learn more about martial arts, and then he would also study the development of his own abilities.
"Hubby, are we still practicing swordplay today?"
Just like yesterday, Xiang Yuanyuan sat aside and looked expectantly at Du Ruo who was standing in the yard.
"Let's not practice swords today. Let me tell you about Qi, which is what it is."
Du Ruo smiled, spread out his palm, and then a wisp of red mist rose and hovered in Du Ruo's palm.
"Yeah."
Xiang Yuanyuan was full of anticipation. In fact, she recognized the red mist at the first sight. It was the same mist that Du Ruo had used to form a tiger in his yard.
"People have spirit, energy and spirit, but ordinary people's spirit, energy and spirit are not condensed. They can only rely on instinct to produce and consume them. If they are not gifted, many people cannot even perceive the spirit, energy and spirit in their bodies."
Du Ruo started from the most basic today, and Xiang Yuanyuan listened attentively.
“Practicing martial arts is a process of strengthening essence, energy and spirit. Only when essence, energy and spirit reach a certain level and are condensed, and when the three are balanced, can “qi” be condensed.
If the essence is weak, the Qi will not be generated; if the spirit is weak, the Qi will not condense; only when all three are strong at the same time can the Qi be controlled. "
Du Ruo figured out these things only after his understanding of martial arts deepened. In fact, it is very difficult for ordinary people to achieve a balance between "spirit, energy and spirit". After all, they don't have a panel, and they can't just click on the low attributes and make additional points.
But it's not that there is no solution at all. For example, Xiang Yuanyuan has already been taught the Hunyuan Yi Qigong.
