In this river and lake, there is a lot of improvement and lightness.

Xiao Qingqing has learned some from his master, but most of them are tricks of skillful strength, and there is no complete exercise, and the clever body method in the martial arts is very rare, and most of them are also secret transmissions of the sect.

Shen Qiu could understand the meaning of this kind of secrecy.

Body method, after all, is the composition of "technique", the combination of Gao Ming body method and Gao Ming martial arts, is the effect of 1 + 1 greater than 2, it is said that some high-grade martial arts, there is a special mention of the longitudinal article as a supplement.

It's a pity that at the level of Chabao, I didn't find a high-grade longitudinal technique.

It's a shame indeed.

It's even more difficult to find a ghostly body like a mountain ghost, but when he left Taihang, the mountain ghost told him some tips for longitudination.

It is said that when the mountain ghost found the swordsmanship, some of the skills he occasionally obtained were scattered and not into chapters.

The mountain ghost said that this was because he didn't know how to write in the first place, so it was difficult for him to learn completely.

Shen Qiu didn't want it either, so he just took this opportunity to practice.

It is also strange to say that the mountain ghost body method has to control the special breathing rhythm and the flow of qi in the legs, and it takes long-term practice to have an effect.

Gongsun Yu said with emotion that he had practiced for 10 years before he had that ghostly longitudinal method.

And when parting, he rejected the Jianghu mental method given to him by Qingqing, and the mountain ghost just said in general terms that he could find a better one.

I don't know, he found it at this time.

The two girls galloped on the post road, and the bald boy Li Yijian followed behind, he was not too far away from Shen Qiu, and planned to give him the horse immediately if Senior Brother Shen Qiu needed it.

Although Shen Qiu made it clear that there was no master-apprentice or other relationship between the two, the second boy in the bald middle school had his own set of logic.

But Shen Qiu could keep up.

He adjusted his breathing during the run, so that the true qi in his body also increased the flow, and he could step more than 1 zhang with each jump, but his legs soon felt tired and his muscles were a little stiff.

He needed to constantly let the true qi flow through the acupuncture points in his legs to barely relieve the faint pain.

He was also looking for a balance between the consumption of true qi and the speed of running, so that he would not run out of true qi, but in this way, the speed was much slower.

After running for a few miles, he saw three young men waiting for him in front of him.

"Senior brother, hurry up."

Qingqing grabbed the reins of the horse and said dissatisfiedly:

"It's almost Luoyang, you see! Right ahead! ”

Lei Shiyin, who was holding her green and slender waist, saw Shen Qiu panting and rubbing her legs constantly, and she was smart about Bingxue, so she knew that this cold-faced senior brother was in the first practice of longitudinal cultivation.

She also spoke:

"Why does Brother Shen torture himself like this?"

"If the elder brother of the Shen family needs to mention the longitudinal method, my Heluo Gang will naturally offer it with both hands, although it is not a high-grade martial art, but it is definitely more wonderful than this crop."

She whispered:

"I heard my uncle who is proficient in martial arts in the gang say that this longitudinal technique is not as good as boiling martial arts, if you don't know the trick, you just practice blindly by yourself, and it is easy to damage your body."

As soon as Miss Shiyin finished speaking, she was pushed by Qingqing.

She immediately knew that she had lost her words, so she closed her mouth and said no more.

"Senior Brother's Lifting Technique is a superior method taught by a master."

Qingqing whispered:

"You can't understand it, don't comment casually, senior brother has a very strange temper."

Sure enough, in the next moment, Shen Qiu's voice rang out.

"Although you Heluo Gang has a heart, I don't dare to take it, it's useless."

No problem.

But the tone of this speech was a bit yin and yang, which made Lei Shiyin a little dissatisfied, and she couldn't help the mood of a child, so she said:

"You saved Miss Ben, if Daddy didn't say anything, wouldn't it seem that my Heluo helper was stingy. Also, Brother Shen, I have no intention of provoking you, why do you have to be sarcastic? ”

Shen Qiu regained his breath for a moment, and he walked over to the two horses and looked out from this hillside.

In the line of sight, a majestic city stands on the plain outside Funiu Mountain, and a large river passes by, like a jade belt.

Over there is Luoyang, the prosperous Central Plains, which is the real big city of this era.

"Then I'll tell you the truth."

Shen Qiu was carrying the knife, and he looked back at Lei Shiyin with a rather serious expression.

He said:

"You are the eldest lady of the Heluo Gang, but you were kidnapped by the bandits, which is quite strange, I guess there must be the assistance of the inner ghosts, this is the matter of your Heluo Gang's infighting, I inadvertently saved you, and I was dragged into it."

"But Qingqing and I are from a small family in Suzhou, our martial arts are not outstanding, and we have no backers behind us, so we are involved in the infighting of the giant beast of your Heluo Gang, and if we are not careful, we will end up in pieces."

"Qingqing and I don't covet your power, we don't ask for your reward, and we don't ask you to do things.

Shen Qiu glanced at Qingqing and Lei Shiyin's hands holding together.

He accentuated his tone and said to the pale-faced eldest lady:

"If you really regard Qingqing as a friend, then don't drag us into the mess behind you, do you understand?"

Shen Qiuming made the joints clear, not only Lei Shiyin's face changed, but even the young girl was a little silent.

He didn't avoid the bald young man, and Li Yijian knew that this was also a reminder from Senior Brother Shen Qiu to himself.

He was also thinking about returning to Suzhou and letting his father take advantage of Miss Shiyin's relationship to get on the line with Lei Ye.

Now listening to Shen Qiuyi, his inner plan has gone to ninety percent.

The Li family only started by selling medicinal herbs.

As Senior Brother Shen Qiu said, if he rashly intervenes in the power struggle of the Heluo Gang, I am afraid that it will also end up in pieces.

"I see."

After a while, Miss Shiyin raised her head, her charming eyes blinked, and solemnly promised Shen Qiu:

"Then, as the elder brother of the Shen family said, when you enter Luoyang, you will go to the elder brother's house of the Li family to rest first. I'll go home alone, and when the matter is settled, I'll ask my dad to send me an invitation and invite you to the feast. ”

"I don't think I need to go to the banquet."

Shen Qiu waved his hand and said:

"If you have the heart, just write a few more letters to Qingqing in the future."

Miss Shiyin was a little helpless, this brother of the Shen family was really cautious.

Looking at him, he is only 16 years old, but he is young and old, and he doesn't have that feeling of intentionality. Where did he get all that thought?

"Shiyin, can you go back alone?"

Qingqing was concerned about another matter, and she said to Lei Shiyin worriedly:

"What will happen to those who want to kill you if they turn around and assassinate you in the market?"

"It doesn't matter."

Lei Shiyin waved her hand, her tone was calm, obviously she had a plan, she said:

"Daddy has always been good friends with the Luoyang Beggar Gang, and I have also worshipped the leader of the Beggar Gang as my uncle."

"With their help, plus my servants, and then ask the Luoyang Mansion to help, these three parties work together, even if the thieves come to hundreds of people, they are not afraid."

"Isn't your daddy coming to pick you up?"

Qingqing rode forward, and she said in surprise:

"Your father is the leader of the Heluo Gang, so he must also be strong in martial arts, right?"

"This..."

Lei Shiyin's expression was a little strange, but the bald young man beside them took the initiative to explain in a whisper:

"Qingqing girl, there are rumors on the rivers and lakes, but I and other Luoyang natives all know about it, although Lei Ye ordered the Heluo gang, but he himself is not skilled in martial arts."

The three of them chatted like this, walking slowly on the post road.

Shen Qiu, who followed behind them, continued to practice the longitudinal technique, occasionally listening to the conversation of the girls and teenagers, and the four of them spent 1 hour, and finally approached the outskirts of Luoyang.

As we approached the city, there were more people on the post road.

There are also villagers doing some small business on the side of the post road near the city, there are roadside tea shops that often appear in martial arts dramas, there are also simple post houses, and there are some places to change horses and drink troughs.

Some villagers set up stalls, and more often than not, they put their goods on the ground.

Not far away, there is also a grass platform made of mud, where a troupe performs, and there are many people gathered around, and from time to time there is a commotion.

However, I didn't see the street performers, which made Shen Qiu quite regretful.

Most of these pedestrians wear cloth clothes and shoes, and their lines are withered, their skin is dark, and they look a little shrunken.

There are also decent ones, or sedan chairs, or cattle and horses, the two are clearly distinguished, the poor do not dare to approach the old man, and the old man will not surrender his identity and go to mix with the poor peasants.

There is a slight shouting on the side of the street, which is the vegetables and fruits picked by the villagers since the early morning.

According to Li Yijian, there are also many markets in Luoyang City, which are very lively, but when villagers enter the city, they have to be inspected by soldiers, and occasionally they will be exploited.

Therefore, most of these villagers gathered outside the city, and there were such small cities in all directions of Luoyang, and the city government did not care much about it.

Of course, you still have to pay taxes when you set up a stall here.

"Where is that?"

Shen Qiu looked out, hundreds of zhang away from the city, there was a place that looked like a big mansion, and there were soldiers with swords and guns and armor patrolling, which looked quite strict, and no one dared to approach around.

He asked, and the bald boy replied like a tour guide:

"That is the Luoyang camp of the Tiance Army outside the city, it is the place where the military masters communicate with the city, and the Luoyang camp is still going east, 10 miles away."

"Luoyang also has a Tiance army?"

Shen Qiu's eyes narrowed.

Li Yijian explained:

"The Luoyang camp was built by the previous dynasty, and the lord of this dynasty did not like it, and the Luoyang government decree also threatened to demolish the camp many times, but although the camp was in ruins, there were also 1,000 soldiers stationed in it, relying on the local guards of Luoyang..."

The bald boy shook his head, his expression disdainful.

Obviously, he admires the Tiance Army who protects his family and defends the country, and he has no good impression of these soldiers in Luoyang City who only know how to exploit the people.

"I'm afraid this Southern Dynasty is a pill."

Shen Qiu complained in a low voice.

As far as he has seen in the past few days, from top to bottom, regardless of the people and rich businessmen, they really don't have a good impression of the Southern Dynasty court at all.

"Let's separate here."

Everyone walked through the rather lively city outside the city, and when they approached the city gate, Lei Shiyin took the initiative to ask the three of them for their resignation.

The eldest lady dismounted with the help of Qingqing, she straightened her clothes, and said to the three of them:

"The city gate official was stuffed with silver money by my father, and he also recognized me, so he didn't dare to make a mistake, I waited at this city gate for the beggars and the Heluo gang to come, and you went into the city first."

"If it is done, I will send my own invitation to the Li family's brother's house."

After speaking, she leaned over slightly to Li Yijian, who had dismounted, and said:

"Brother Li, if you want to entertain Senior Brother Shen Qiu and Sister Qingqing, you must not be lazy. After this turmoil, I will tell my father that your Li family will have a future. ”

Li Yijian nodded, Miss Shiyin waved her hand to Qingqing, and nodded to Shen Qiu, who was expressionless, and then took a deep breath, and walked towards the city gate with ladylike steps, but with a fierce attitude.

Those guards didn't know the eldest lady yet, and wanted to stop them, but they were slapped in the face by Lei Shiyin.

The eldest lady was full of aura, and scolded a few times with great momentum.

The soldiers cowered, and hurriedly went to call the city gate official, and a few of the Heluo Gang pawns in the surrounding crowd saw the eldest lady appear, and without saying a word, they protected Lei Shiyin's side.

They were in a hurry to behave, so they held sticks and shouted loudly to drive away the onlookers around, and Lei Shiyin did not stop them.

Now that he has arrived in Luoyang, this matter will be a little bigger, and it will be convenient for Daddy to do things by deterring the ghosts in the house.

Shen Qiu watched coldly from the sidelines.

Although this Lei Shiyin is young, she was indeed cultivated by that Lei Ye, and her every move is quite orderly, and she will definitely be a super scheming girl when she grows up.

He looked at the worried Qingqing beside him again, and couldn't help but sigh.

If this stupid girl had half of Lei Shiyin's scheming, he wouldn't have to protect her everywhere.

A moment later, the city gate official, wearing a black official robe, wearing a black gauze official hat, and full of alcohol, came to the city gate, and when he saw Miss Lei Shiyin with a cold face, he was scared to wake up seven points when he was drunk.

He didn't dare to slack off, and welcomed Miss Shiyin into the city with a flattering face, and scolded the soldiers to protect him.

He also sent a soldier who could speak well to rush to report to Dafu on horseback, and by the way, he told the good news that he was in a hurry for the past two days, and almost turned the whole Luoyang upside down.

"I'll go into the city later."

The bald boy said to Shen Qiu and Qingqing:

"My father and mother must be in a hurry, it just so happens that my family lives not far from the city gate."

Those soldiers were busy guarding the eldest lady, and the inspection of the people entering the city was also hasty, so as to avoid some exploitation.

The three of them successfully entered the city, and the gate of Luoyang City was heavy, which was not inferior to the city wall that Shen Qiu had seen in Chang'an in his previous life.

It is worthy of being a heroic city in the world, and with the thickness of this city wall, it is estimated that it will be difficult to blast open with a few cannons.

And as soon as you enter the city, the bustling scene comes to you.

There are all kinds of shops on both sides of the street, and the crowd is endless, and it is much more lively than the small square market outside the city.

The "citizens" of the city, whether they dress or behave and talk, are indeed more decent than the villagers.

The bald boy who led the way also had a proud look, obviously proud of the prosperity and decency of his hometown.

But Qingqing is used to seeing the prosperity of Suzhou, and the land south of the Yangtze River is no worse than Luoyang, as for Shen Qiu's eyes, this bit of decency in front of him...

It's a bit unpleasant.

Just kidding, in the previous life, a third-tier town was much more prosperous than the streets of Luoyang in front of me.

These two can't be compared at all, it's all about the all-round crushing brought by productivity, and what Shen Qiu cares more about is the rows of buildings on both sides of the street.

This is something you can't see in any film and television city or any antique city.

"In this Luoyang city, there are almost 100,000 people, and since the previous dynasty, this is the world's first-class commercial thoroughfare."

Li Yijian led the way forward and said for Shen Qiu and Qingqing:

"Since the two of you are here, you might as well stay for a few more days, you are going to Suzhou, I am afraid that the road is difficult, it is better to take the waterway."

"I'll talk to my father, find a boat to go to Luoyang and Badu, you get to Badu, and then change by land, or continue to take the waterway, and you will soon be able to reach Suzhou."

"The next road is a prosperous place, and Senior Brother and Qingqing don't have to suffer from the road anymore."

Shen Qiu glanced at Qingqing, he turned his head and clasped his fists at the bald boy and said:

"Then please, Brother Li."

"Don't dare, don't dare."

Li Yijian smiled, he pointed to a luxurious mansion in front of him, with a courtyard outside the door, and occupied most of the street in front and back, and said:

"Go to my house to rest first, wash away the dust, and then I will introduce my father and mother to my senior brother and Qingqing."

"Senior brother saved me from fire and water, and has the grace of teaching art, the two of you don't have to be restrained, just treat my home as your own, and when you come to Luoyang in the future, you don't have to look for any post inn."

"As long as I, Li Yijian, am still here, the door of my Li family will be open for the two of you at any time!"
