In the small courtyard, Cao Huazhang was practicing knife skills.

The knife is three feet three inches long, the face is wide and thin, and it is made of stainless steel, and it is held in the hand of a tall man.

"Phew!"

Cao Huazhang played all the way, slammed forward, turned around with the sole of his right foot as the axis, and slashed at the long knife at a strange angle. Hearing a bang, a piece of bluestone in the courtyard was split into several pieces, and the blade was not damaged at all.

His face was not red or panting, his appearance was rude but a little self-conscious, and he put away the knife and handed it over: "This is the Thirty-six Soul Breaking Knife, which makes the young master smile." ”

"Huh?"

Gu Yu, who was paralyzed on the steps, suddenly came back to his senses and asked, "What level of martial arts is this Soul Breaking Sword in the rivers and lakes?"

"Although it is not as good as a first-class master, it can also break through one side and deter Xiao Xiao......"

"Oh, second- or third-rate. ”

Gu Yu was greatly disappointed and muttered: "It seems that the rivers and lakes are decaying, and the ordinary martial arts are very inferior!"

"What the young master said is that no matter how good the martial arts practice is, it can't match a monk's finger. Even if a monk in the Qi Harvesting Period throws a technique at will, it will be difficult for a martial artist to resist. Cao Huazhang responded with a voice.

He was originally a high-roller in the rivers and lakes, and was later taken in by the Chen Mansion as a nursing home, but his ability was mediocre but very loyal, and he would rather delay himself than let Chen Qi go first, which can be seen.

The two chatted for a while, and Gu Yu suddenly said, "By the way, do your former friends still have contact?"

"There are a few people who come and go from time to time. ”

"How's the character?"

"They're all good men. ”

"Okay, go and ask them, would you like to come to me?"

Gu Yu saw him surprised, and said with a smile: "That's right, it's from me, not from Chen's Mansion." ”

"Uh......"

Cao Huazhang was weird and a little funny. Although you are the son of the Chen Mansion, the son and the head of the family are two concepts, not to mention the age here!

He thought for a while and said euphemistically: "Young master, those few are scattered, I'm afraid they don't like to be restrained......

"Hehe, I understand. ”

Gu Yu waved his hand and said with a smile: "I won't embarrass you, in this way, in a few months, it will be the Luming Autumn Exam, and I am determined to win." If I get the Dao Ring, it's not too late for you to contact you. ”

Dao Gong, the identity certificate of the Taoist, there is a view of it, from no product to the highest positive product, and it is also a status symbol that everyone in Zhenyang envy.

Cao Huazhang was stunned and couldn't help but re-evaluate.

In these years, the top exercises are in the hands of Taoists, followed by various sects and wealthy families. Children of wealthy families like Chen Qi have the qualifications to become Taoists, and those who are not qualified to study for the imperial examination.

Either as a Taoist official or as a court official, the road ahead is clear and clear.

If he can really be admitted to Luming Temple, coupled with the Chen family's local heritage, he can take another step. Moreover, the eldest son, Chen Qi, has proven that his qualifications are not good, and he is studying in Fucheng, and there is no conflict of resources......

Of course, Cao Huazhang was cautious, and he didn't immediately agree after thinking it out.

"Well, that's fine. ”

If you don't see a rabbit or an eagle, it's normal for people to do it. Gu Yu sighed and said, "I have been practicing the "Spring Yin and Rain Technique" diligently in the past few days, and I have a lot of experience, and I want to practice it, so you can borrow me this knife." ”

Cao Huazhang didn't know why, but he walked into the courtyard with a knife, put on a posture, and slashed out.

Sizzle!

He was careless at first, but he glanced at it twice, and immediately gasped. What the Seventh Young Master was playing with was the Thirty-six Path Soul Breaking Knife that he had just demonstrated!

And the other party seems to have improved, still powerful and ferocious, but the moves have been simplified, more effective, and more aggressive.

"Look!"

I only listened to Gu Yu shouting suddenly, stepping out with his left foot, and at the same time on his right heel, his whole body was like a firecracker, and the force was born from the soles of his feet, crackling to his arms, and then slashing down diagonally.

Rumble!

When the right foot hit the ground, the cold light was chilling and murderous. Cao Huazhang squinted his eyes suddenly, and when he opened them again, he was stunned and poked in place.

The bluestone ground in the courtyard has been blasted out of a round pit.

What is a round pit?

The section is the same as cutting tofu with a knife, flat and smooth, with stone slabs and dirt smashed inside, and there is not even a little gravel on the side. He has practiced martial arts for many years, and it couldn't be clearer, showing that the power skills and use of this knife have been wonderful!

What's even more terrifying is that this knife is clearly an improved version of his last move!

"Less, young master......"

Cao Huazhang stumbled, and he was beyond his expectations.

"Your knife technique focuses on bravery, opening and closing, and losing its original intention if it is too detailed. Thirty-six roads are too many, and I think twelve roads are just right. ”

Gu Yu returned the long knife and said with a smile: "I am still young and lack of strength, so I just used a little bit of true qi. But don't worry, with your foundation, you can also achieve such power by running internal strength. ”

"You sort it out for yourself first, and then ask me if you don't understand. ”

Gu Yu didn't give him time to say more, wiped his body and left, leaving the sluggish Cao Huazhang motionless in the courtyard.

And this goods left the small courtyard, hurried to a secluded place, and spit out a long breath of breath.

"This body is too rubbish, a slight movement is close to the load, fortunately I have experience, and I have to double my cultivation from tomorrow. ”

Gu Yu wiped his sweat and calmed his restless internal breath before returning to his residence as if nothing was right.

Helpless!

The foundation is weak, and only some crooked melons and cracked dates can be harvested in the early stage, and Qingya and Cao Huazhang are even big ones. There are a few masters in the Chen Mansion who are in the Qi Extraction Period, and there is even a Worship in the Contemplation Period, but all of them are above the top.

I am an 80-level tuba, and I can't afford to be angry with a few novice village NPCs.

Alas, it will be better when he is admitted to Lumingguan, and when the time comes, he will gather his subordinates, and he will have a small force.

Gu Yu thought as he walked back: If he is thrown in the flow of luck, how can he be regarded as a hidden dragon, right?

Well, don't be his son, his daughter, his sister, his sister-in-law, his daughter-in-law......

………………

Recently, Luming County has been very lively, and the people are talking about one thing: the seventh young master of the Chen Mansion has changed his temperament greatly since he met the mandrill, and since then he has never returned on the evil road of the prodigal son.

In the past, Chen Qi couldn't do anything about bullying men and women because of his young age, but he harassed the township all day long, and smashed the restaurant at every turn, and his reputation was extremely bad.

This time it's good, so the whole county is not adapted.

Because of the changes so much, even his father and mother were muttering, and Chen Jing secretly invited a master to see if he was occupied. Please, of course I can't see it!

So I can only credit to that mandrill, so that my son really changed sex.

Unknowingly, Gu Yu has been here for a month.

His weekday routine is very regular, he cultivates in the morning and evening, and goes to the county seat and the surrounding area to hang out during the day. At first, I was very surprised, because there were so many people.

There are about 50,000 people in Luming County, about 400,000 in Xichuan Prefecture, and 24 prefectures in Zhenyang Kingdom, with a population of more than 10 million. The neighboring Eastern Yuan Kingdom is similar, and the Qiyuan Kingdom to the north is even more so, with about 20 million.

The whole small world has a population of almost 50 million. Considering its overall area, the density is far higher than that of any ancient dynasty in the Xia Kingdom.

So that between the villages and towns here, between the county seat and the prefecture, the roads extend in all directions, and the distance is very close.

He pondered for a long time before he could barely come up with an explanation:

First, the practice is relatively popular, although the common people have little contact, but it has been passed down from generation to generation, and the average life expectancy is high.

Second, there is a system of Taoist officials, who study the increase of field yields, the cultivation of rice seeds, the clouds and rain, and regularly give various life-saving elixirs, which virtually greatly improve the standard of living.

Coupled with the fact that there was no large-scale war, it became the current population density.

At noon, the restaurant.

In the private room on the third floor, Gu Yu sat by the window, with four dishes and four bowls on the table, and the main dish was a red fish that had just been caught. Cut into thin slices, don't stick to the sauce, and eat it raw.

This one costs five red coins.

The common currency of Zhenyang country, the small money is cyan, also known as the green money, and the big money is red, also known as the red money. One red coin for 100 green coins is about the same as modern coins, extremely wearable, and the purchasing power is also amazing.

Gu Yu likes this, there are no spirit stones and spirit beads, and the monks also trade big and small money, or barter.

The reason for this is due to the system: here it is important to keep ideas, to comprehend the will of God, and Dan and instruments are all auxiliary. The kind of person who chased the ruling and slashed it at Jindan during the foundation building period basically does not exist.

"Young master, young master?"

"Oh, what's wrong?"

Qingya is helpless, the current Seventh Young Master is good at everything, but he loves to be stunned. She reminded: "The eldest lady is coming back tomorrow, you have been out for a long time, why don't you pick a gift for her?"

"Sister...... Naturally, you have to buy gifts. ”

Gu Yu reacted and ordered: "Cao Huazhang, you go to the fat Yan Zhai on South Street, there are several new rouge gouaches over there, you go and buy one each." ”

"Yes!"

Cao Huazhang, who had been standing behind him, responded without any complaints. After witnessing the power of the Father of the Plane, he was willing to be a servant and was driven by it.

Qingya sneered and said, "Cao Ye is a mighty man, if you go to buy any rouge gouache, the young master will play tricks on people." ”

"What is the meaning of playing tricks, I will make the two of them happy, of course he buys it!"

"Then why didn't you tell me to go?"

"Tsk, I'm calling you Xiu Se Ke Di, and I'm screaming at him It's really hard to swallow. The two old men are bored together to enjoy the rain and eat fish, like what?"

"Giggles!"

Qingya finally couldn't help it, pinching the handkerchief and laughing. After a month of contact, she is becoming more and more afraid of this seventh young master, as long as she abides by his rules, she will be easy-going and unimaginable.

Gu Yu glanced at her, put his arm on the railing and looked at the drizzle outside.

The rain in Luming is very dense, and it rains at two ends in three days, thanks to this, the "Spring Yin with Rain" is progressing rapidly, and the essence of gas extraction is also deepened.

In a word: feel the shape of nature, understand the meaning of nature.

Why is it the highest quality to collect the qi of heaven and yang and earth yin? Because yin and yang are the origin of heaven and earth, you are already in it, you can think about it anytime and anywhere, and your divine will is also magnificent.

The true qi generated in this way is extremely pure and extremely efficient.

"Spring Yin with Rain" has too many restrictions, and the divine will is also very small, the qi collection is slow, and it is not pure. Several generations of the Chen family have practiced, including Chen Jing, Chen Qi, and Chen Yan, the sister who has already married, but they are not qualified enough to take the path of cultivation.

Of course, stream-of-consciousness practice is where the subjective factor is fundamental.

The Chen family wants to linger in the spring rain, but he wants to be carefree, refreshing and comfortable, and his will is invisibly much broader, and his qi collection is also a little purer.

In the past month, the progress has been rapid, and the internal qi is full, but he has not yet practiced the technique.

"Dang!"

"Bang bang!"

Gu Yu looked at the drizzle, and was habitually wandering, and was suddenly disturbed by the sound of fighting, followed by Cao Huazhang's roar.

Immediately after, a male duck's voice came from downstairs, "Hahahaha, Chen Qike is up there?"

(I found that around 2000, there were many domestic dramas, and "Black Ice" can be watched.) ）
