Chapter 148 Birthday

Lu Mingfei weighed it.

His complexion changed slightly.

He asked Chen Pingan.

"Where did it come from?"

"have no idea."

Chen Pingan talked about his experience.

He had already left the Children's Palace and met an old man on the road who said he was from Lu Mingfei's hometown. He then asked Chen Pingan to hand over the token to Lu Mingfei.

Hence the current scene.

"Um."

Lu Mingfei pondered.

"Let's do this for now. I'll keep this sign. If nothing happens, go back early."

"yes."

"correct."

Lu Mingfei warned him.

"No matter how much you want to practice martial arts, don't practice too hard. Even if you devote all your energy to martial arts and Zhuang techniques, if you don't have the support of spiritual cultivation, let alone Wai Gang, it will be extremely difficult to advance to Inhuman."

Chen Pingan's eyes moved slightly.

He nodded.

"I got it."

Hearing this, Lu Mingfei's solemn expression softened, and he bumped shoulders with him with a smile.

"Set up a way to cultivate your mind as soon as possible. I'm optimistic about you. If you are determined, God will live up to your expectations."

"Thank you, teacher."

Soon, Lu Mingfei was the only one left in the locker room.

After taking a shower and wearing light sportswear, Lu Mingfei put his bag on his shoulder and locked the door.

He looked up at the Kyushu sign.

"gone."

He turned around and walked away in the shadow of the setting sun.

The tall and straight back gradually merged into the orange light, and the shadow lengthened, and only the young man's leisurely humming tune was left, vaguely echoing.

There was a lot of people coming and going at the bus stop. Lu Mingfei was waiting for the bus. He was holding a piece of baked sweet potato wrapped in a plastic bag. When bus No. 538 arrived at the stop, he quickly lowered his head and finished it in a few bites, then jogged to queue up.

"Let's go to the beach tomorrow."

"Didn't it say that the beach is not allowed to enter due to maintenance?"

"Hey, why is this like this!"

Lu Mingfei held on to the lifting ring.

"The vehicle starts, please sit tight and hold on tight. The next stop is the City God Temple."

It's dark.

Lu Mingfei looked out the window.

It was already seven o'clock when we returned to Laojing Alley.

Lu Mingfei threw the bag on the bed, spread out the rice paper, and studied ink quietly.

Use this action to review everything you saw today in your mind.

This is an extremely important step in the method of nourishing the mind.

He followed the method of refining the heart in the world of mortals. The world of mortals is naturally filled with fireworks, joy, anger, sorrow, and joy.

Although he experienced it, he did not participate in it. He watched calmly from a detached perspective, using the joys and sorrows of all sentient beings to forge a clear Taoist heart.

Speaking of which, who could be the old man Chen Ping'an met?

My fellow countryman?

A relative on my uncle's side?

Lu Mingfei shook his head secretly.

Without the assistance of the bronze mask, Lu Mingfei's current body and spirit were only at the level of physical training, and his warrior intuition was far from being comparable to before.

No problem, just go through it again.

When I put down my pen again, it was already late at night.

Lu Mingfei expanded his chest and walked to the window. His breath was filled with the smell of summer evening breeze, which made his mind clear.

His expression suddenly changed, he closed his eyes and sensed carefully.

After a long time, a smile appeared on the young man's face.

In Kyushu Martial Arts, the most important sign for a body-refining martial artist to advance to inhumanity is to transform the root marrow.

But before that, there is another feature.

It means that strength is generated by itself, and it starts over and over again.

Once you have reached this point, no matter how much energy you use up, you don’t need to stand still. Your energy will be self-generated over time, and it will be endless.

It is worth mentioning that don't just think that you can put down the Zhuang Gong and ignore it because of the self-generated strength. The Zhuang Kung is the foundation of a martial artist. Even a martial saint practices hard every day and does not dare to relax.

Just now, after putting down his pen and walking to the window sill, Lu Mingfei felt a strange movement in his body. The energy that was originally consumed in the sparring session actually developed on its own without him taking a stand.

An extremely tiny trace, almost undetectable.

If he hadn't re-cultivated and had already experienced it, he probably wouldn't have been able to detect it.

If there is this trace, it means that the characteristics of hard work are about to appear. Perhaps in more than a month, in September, his strength will truly realize the state of endless growth.

When that time comes, we can begin to warm and nourish the root marrow, and gradually transform it until the supernatural power is revealed, and then we can be promoted to non-human beings.

Speaking of which, I don't know what kind of miracles can be obtained by using the Open Heaven Stake to promote non-human beings.

When he was in Kyushu, Lu Mingfei studied the Dragon and Snake Secret Records. They all said it was a secret record. Naturally, he did not belong to the common Fire Department, Ice Department, Junbu, and Doube.

At that time, he had cultivated the Qinglong Jin, warming and nourishing his essence day after day, but he still couldn't get in, and the magic was not obvious. Even Lu Mingfei was about to doubt whether his martial arts qualifications were fake.

Unfortunately, it's true.

On the day when the master left, Lu Mingfei was an inhuman being who had not been able to enter for a long time. His supernatural powers suddenly appeared, and as soon as he came out, he had three major supernatural powers.

It's different now, he is cultivating his own Kaitian Zhuang.

Although compared to the Dragon Snake Secret Record, Kaitianzhuang is a technique tailor-made by Lu Mingfei based on his own physical endowment. It is also intended to prepare him to break through to the Martial Saint. Even if he has never returned to the Dragon Clan, Lu Mingfei still plans to Re-cultivate San Gong.

But this does not mean that he has everything that will happen in the practice of Kaitian Zhuang.

After all, Kaitian Zhuang is still an untraveled road.

The scenery ahead is still unknown.

Being able to cultivate one's mind and become a martial sage is only a theoretical possibility. No matter how precise the derivation is, it is only a matter of a hair's breadth or a thousand miles.

But isn’t the unknown the most interesting part?

Lu Mingfei smiled expectantly.

The strength is generated by itself, and then the root marrow is warmed and nourished. He wants to see what kind of magic this Open Heaven Stake can give him.

When he was promoted to non-human in Kyushu, he spent a year recovering.

I don’t know how long it will take to achieve the magical powers after returning to the Dragon Clan and revamping the techniques.

Open the sky, open the sky.

Lu Mingfei clenched his fist.

He took one last look at the empty attic opposite.

"Good night."

A night of silence.

The moon rises and sets, and the sky becomes brighter.

Platform at half past five.

The short-sleeved shirt with a black cat printed on the white background, the light blue jeans with the trousers rolled up, the lanky boy with a bag on his shoulders, and his contours from the collarbone to the chin are as deep as the lines of the boy next door in youth comics.

He stood alone in the morning mist of July, occasionally standing on tiptoe to look around. When he saw the empty street, he put down his heel again and kicked the bench in boredom. The clanking sound spread far and wide in the empty street.

It's quieter.

Finally, two beams of light broke through the morning fog, from far to near. This scene was inexplicably reminiscent of the scene in Hayao Miyazaki's animated film My Neighbor Totoro. The huge furry Totoro bus, with its bright eyes acting as searchlights, was on the branches of the tree. Jumping on the bus, taking a bus like this will probably be an unforgettable experience.

The young man regained his energy, and when the car stopped, he quickly got on the car.

"Morning, master."

Lu Mingfei greeted the driver energetically.

The carriage was empty and the bus started. Lu Mingfei walked inside and found a seat by the window.

Looking sideways out of the window, the city in the morning fog is quiet and hazy, with a dreamlike beauty that reminds me of overexposed photos. The mottled color blocks are blurred in the thick fog, and the dim street lights are like the setting sun where we have met to die for love. .

Lu Mingfei breathed on the glass, drew a smiley face in three strokes, then took back his hand and nodded with satisfaction.

He laughed.

Riding in a car alone is a lonely thing.

Especially in an empty carriage, late at night or early in the morning.

The city has gone to sleep.

You will be extra awake.

Lu Mingfei was thinking about today's teaching content and the martial arts progress of several disciples, and his thoughts gradually drifted away to a long time ago.

It seemed like it was a cram school or running errands for the literary club. He had forgotten the specifics. He only remembered the deserted city and the bus ride alone. He was sitting in the back row with his head hanging down. He seemed to be thinking about something, but he seemed to have nothing at all. I think, just in a daze.

Now that I think about it, he was probably a little lonely at that time.

It’s different.

He is no longer the weakling he used to be.

Have a clear goal and run for it with all your strength.

This is Lu Mingfei now.

It's just sometimes, occasionally, I can't say the reason, it's very sudden.

There will be some sadness.

Or lonely.

It's not pretentious, this kind of thing happens to everyone.

Just walking on the road, seeing a certain silhouette, hearing a certain melody, or encountering a familiar scenery.

Suddenly all kinds of worries came to mind.

Human beings are such creatures who are occasionally overwhelmed by emotions like the sea.

Lu Mingfei thought of the Kyushu that he could never go back to.

Tieshishan, the little emperor.

I really want to see what you said about everyone being like a dragon.

The bus was swaying, and there were gradually more and more passengers in the carriage.

There are girls in short skirts and hot pants in twos and threes. It’s summer, and the breath of youth is blowing against our faces.

"Where are you going to play today?"

"Let's take a stroll in the morning and go swimming in the afternoon."

"Speaking of which, what gift did you prepare for Xiao An?"

"Chocolate, that guy likes to eat it the most."

Gift?

Is it a birthday?

Lu Mingfei thought aimlessly.

Speaking of which, he seemed to have never received a birthday present since he was a child.

The memory of living with his parents is already very blurry. Sometimes Lu Mingfei even wonders, are those memories true?

Mom, dad, etc., maybe it was just that I was too lonely in the past, and the fantasy that was born from this may not be certain.

The one I remember most deeply is in Kyushu. During those days in the thatched house, the master overbearingly designated the day when he picked up Lu Mingfei as his birthday. When the day came, he and his junior sister would cook longevity noodles for him.

It was really amazing. There was only one noodle in such a big bowl. Lu Mingfei was surprised and thought about how long it was.

That was his first serious birthday.

Let’s talk about impressions.

The noodles are so delicious.

Lu Mingfei got out of the car and approached the Children's Palace.

This is?

He frowned.

It's so quiet.

Usually at this point, someone in the martial arts class would already be practicing martial arts.

What's going on today?

It was quiet, not to mention the presence of people, even the door to the martial arts class was still locked.

Are you slacking off?

Lu Mingfei thought.

He frowned, displeasure evident on his face.

It wasn't long before he actually started to be lazy.

Why do you still practice martial arts?

Am I too talkative?

It seems that the master's wicker, no, it is too cheap to use wicker for these brats, let's go with the whip.

Lu Mingfei calmly opened the door.

It was pitch dark in the martial arts class, and I couldn't see my fingers.

Isn't it dawn? Why are you so hey?

Lu Mingfei thought like this and walked inside.

Suddenly, there were three crisp sounds.

The bright lights suddenly brightened.

Colorful ribbons were flying all over the sky.

Falling down one after another.

Lu Mingfei stood there blankly.

Han Ye, who was supposed to be studying in the preparatory class of Peking University, also jumped out of nowhere.

While blowing the plastic toy trumpet towards Lu Mingfei, he shouted to him with a bright smile.

"Happy birthday!"

Chu Zihang and Ling took turns and steadily picked up the ribbon tube, held the switch at the bottom and turned it. With a bang, the colorful ribbons shot up to the ceiling, and then slowly floated down.

Their movements are so stable and efficient, but it always feels awkward. If the ribbon tubes in their hands are replaced by AK47 or mortars, and combined with the calm but murderous faces of Chu Zihang and Ling, , perfect.

Su Xiaoqiang and Yuanyuan released them one by one, and soon the martial arts class was filled with colorful balloons.

"Happy birthday!"

Xiao Doudou was holding a large bouquet of flowers, running over and jumping to give it to him.

"Happy birthday!"

the girl shouted.

Lu Mingfei was almost drowned by the ribbons and foam.

He was still blinking blankly.

Some people don't understand the situation at the moment.

Birthday?

who?

He made eye contact with everyone.

Look into those bright smiling faces.

Well, except for Chu Zihang and Ling.

Is this...prepared for me?

Oh, right.

No wonder Su Xiaoqiang, Yuanyuan and Ling came to ask him yesterday.

July 17th.

Today is my birthday.

After a long period of confusion, Lu Mingfei slowly came back to his senses.

He carefully savored the unfamiliar emotions surging in his heart.

It was like a child growing up inland seeing the sea for the first time.

His sparkling eyes were full of curiosity.

Is this what it feels like to be cared about? he thinks.

No wonder Lu Mingfei felt confused.

Today, for the first time since he was a child, his birthday was remembered by others, and the celebration was carefully prepared.

He laughed.

"Thanks."

Lu Mingfei looked at everyone.

All the disciples from the martial arts class have arrived.

Even the reserve member Xiaodoudou was there.

Han Ye also ran back.

I don’t know if this guy took any leave.

There are also seniors.

Lu Mingfei noticed the haggard look on Chu Zihang's face.

I don’t know how his method of nourishing his mind is progressing.

It must be very hard.

"Thank you."

Lu Mingfei said movedly.

"I have decided that today I must bring out the bottom line, without any reservations!"

The disciples' eyes lit up.

Lu Mingfei bumped his fists and grinned.

"I won't hold back whoever comes first!"

Disciples:...

Do you want to kill someone? Hey!

I'm just celebrating your birthday, so I'm not going to do this to you!

Their smiles froze.

Of course, in the end, Lu Mingfei's simple idea was not realized, which is gratifying and gratifying.

They just used the morning time to complete their daily standing homework.

Then the martial arts class and the others went to the seaside in a mighty killing spree.

When Lu Mingfei was wearing beach pants and stepping on the fine white beach.

The surprise in his heart lasted for a long time.

I still remember what Su Xiaoqiang said lightly at that time.

"I'll take care of the beach today."

"How rich...is this?"

Han Yeru was amazed.

"By the way, you're only wearing a pair of beach shorts."

Lu Mingfei looked at him.

"Why are you still wearing gloves?"

Han Ye snorted.

"I'm happy, you bite me!"

Yuanyuan was about to speak but stopped, pursed her lips.

Han Ye noticed that the girl kept staring at him and asked curiously.

"what's up?"

Yuanyuan lowered her head and said embarrassedly.

"Even with your figure, you can't dress like this."

Han Ye was stunned at first, and then his expression darkened.

The disciples in the martial arts class over there were already laughing together.

Zero was wearing a one-piece swimsuit like that worn by Japanese junior high school girls taking swimming lessons.

Coupled with Her Majesty the Queen's proud height, some people believe that this girl is eleven years old.

I saw her raising her arms on the beach, bending down sternly, pressing her legs, and then standing still.

"What are you doing?"

Lu Mingfei asked curiously.

"warm up."

Zero said.

Lu Mingfei opened his mouth. He thinks that Ling's hot body exercises look more and more familiar the more he looks at them.

At this time, there should be some background music.

"The times are calling."

PS: Additional update will be at 9pm to accompany you all on New Year’s Eve.
