After returning to the Xihai Inn, Xia Qing sat down cross-legged and meditated, once again attacking the prohibition of life. Knowing that it was very likely that it would still be a failure, he did not give up, believing that there will always be a time for a breakthrough.

"Why is my life so humble?"

"Why did I fail so hard even though I was working very, very hard?"

Hong Qishao's words echoed in Xia Qing's mind, deeply stabbing Xia Qing's heart, and deeply feeling the hardships and pain of the little people at the bottom. On the other hand, even people like Hong Qishao are unwilling to be at the mercy of fate, and strive to change their fate, what reason do they have not to work hard and fight?

Xia Qing cut off the distracting thoughts in his mind and hit the bottleneck over and over again. Yan Kingdom is in turmoil, Xia Wangfu and his relatives are in danger, demons are fierce and demons are dancing, the only thing he can do is to work hard and face this cruel world. Give up as soon as there is a difficulty, and it will really be over.

The night is getting thicker and thicker, and in the dead of night, Xia Qing still senses some strange breath, someone is watching his party in the dark, and the demons are becoming more and more presumptuous. Xia Qing ignored them and continued to cultivate, and the demons did not dare to break in recklessly.

There was no word all night, and time passed quickly.

Early in the morning, before the shopkeeper got up, Hong Qishao sneaked in out of nowhere, knocked on Xia Qing's door, and carried a large package. Inside the package were several incense burners, as well as a hollow wooden sword.

Hong Qishao wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, a little embarrassed, his eyes were red and he didn't seem to have slept all night, "Young Master Xia, that's all, it's too late to ...... the rest."

"Yes, hard work. ”

Xia Qing took a closer look, the things were not complete, but the texture was good, and each one was put into it. Especially the hollow wooden sword, the size is strictly in accordance with its own requirements, and it has been carefully polished after it is done, and there is not a single wooden thorn, which is better than what you require.

"This is made from local sand trees, and in a hurry, I couldn't find good wood all at once. If it is coated with sumac sap and pine resin, it will be stronger and more beautiful, but it is too late. Childe, I'm sorry. Hong Qishao blushed a little and did not complete the task assigned by Xia Qing.

Xia Qing was a little surprised, "You made this yourself?"

"The incense burner was made to order by a blacksmith overnight, and the wooden sword was carved by myself. Hong Qishao nodded and said, "When I was a child, I learned carpentry from an old carpenter for a few days, and I knew a little carpentry work. ”

"Yes, good craftsmanship. In fact, it's good to be a carpenter for the rest of your life, and peace is a blessing. Xia Qing reminded kindly again.

"In a poor place like Xihaiyuan, everyone is a carpenter, and a three-legged cat like me will starve to death if I do carpentry. Hong Qishao smiled bitterly, feeling Xia Qing's kindness, but insisted on his opinion, "Young Master Xia, help me, I must become a martial artist!"

"Maybe it's not helping you, it's hurting you. ”

Xia Qing sighed faintly, wrote down a spell on the paper, and then tore it off and handed it to Hong Qishao.

Hong Qishao became excited, took the note and looked at it, the smile on his face froze, and he swallowed, "Young Master Xia, this is ...... Isn't this the secret of longevity that can be seen everywhere?"

"That's right, it's the secret of longevity!"

Xia Qing nodded, knowing why Hong Qishao was puzzled, this is the most widely spread and most common exercise in the land of Kyushu, and everyone has it at their fingertips, "The vast majority of people pursue the so-called top exercises, in fact, the most ordinary and basic ones are the best, and practicing martial arts is like strengthening the body, and it needs to be accumulated gradually and slowly." After the body is strengthened, if you go to practice swordsmanship, fist and swordsmanship, you will naturally get twice the result with half the effort. For so many years, in fact, I have practiced this exercise, and after persisting for a long time, I have become a so-called martial arts master. This is the first center of gravity, and when you master it, you will pass on the second and third levels. ”

Xia Qing didn't hide his secrets, of course, if Hong Qishao didn't believe it, he couldn't help it.

Unexpectedly, Hong Qishao believed it without doubt, and carefully read it from beginning to end, and found that Xia Qing's heroic longevity recipe was a little different from the one circulated outside, some places brought a sentence, and some places had a few more sentences. Just a few inconspicuous differences may be the key to Xia Qing's excellence.

"Thank you, Master Xia, early tomorrow morning, I will definitely send the remaining incense burner and battle armor!"

Hong Qishao became excited again, carefully folded the note and hid it close to his body, bowed down to Xia Qing respectfully and bowed to his disciple, and then retreated knowingly, seizing the time to get busy.

"I once dreamed of going to the end of the world with a sword, work hard, there will be a day!"

Xia Qing muttered, watched Hong Qishao go away through the window, picked up the wooden sword and waved it a few times, it felt good.

Qin Yuan's knock came from outside the door, "Young Master Xia, the time is almost up, do you want to continue today?"

"Of course!"

Xia Qing cleaned up, quickly left the inn with Qin Yuan and the others, and came to the bazaar again.

Under the ring, a large number of people have gathered in the black press.

Today is the third day of the ring competition. The day before yesterday, it was Hong Qishao who appeared on the stage, wasting an opportunity; Yesterday, the nine-fingered swordsman Xiao Wu happened to pass by and took the stage to start a wonderful battle with Xia Qing;

People were full of anticipation, and even some couldn't wait, and watched the ring with their eyes open. In the past two days, I have been fascinated by Xia Qing's ring. Some people had sharp eyes and noticed that today's ring was a little different, with a few more incense burners and green smoke, and Xia Qing was still sitting cross-legged, waiting quietly, but with a wide wooden sword.

"Hey, if you don't need a sharp sword, you can use a wooden sword that will break when you touch it, is it really just a defeat?"

"What do you know, this is called artistic conception! Burn incense and meditate in the downtown area, master, really master!"

There was a lot of talk and they were looking forward to the battle ahead.

In the battle with Xiao Wu yesterday, Xia Qing had already proved his strength, and with such attainments at such a young age, he could be said to be a veritable martial arts master. Next, it depends on whether anyone can defeat Xia Qing in martial arts. There is no shortage of cultivation masters in the crowd, there are all great masters in the realm of heaven and man, with the monk's supernatural powers, you can easily defeat Xia Qing, but that is meaningless, defeating Xia Qing with martial arts is the real ability!

People were eagerly awaiting, looking forward to the appearance of another martial arts master. The battle of the monks is amazing, and there has always been no shortage of gorgeous magical powers, but the battle of the warriors is more intuitive and makes people's blood boil. The vast majority of people are destined to have no chance with the world of monks for the rest of their lives, but the martial artist is around, the Yan Kingdom is still martial arts, and there are many people who practice martial arts, and everyone is looking forward to seeing the collision of the two martial arts masters.

At the edge of the crowd, Gu Chu, the left envoy of the Five Poisons Sect, Bai Venerable of the Hundred Ghost Sect, Zhao Gui and Ouyang Wankang, and others also came, and when they saw the incense burner in the ring, their faces were ugly. Especially the White Venerable, who was about to appear on the stage, had a face that was difficult to see. With his cultivation in the late stage of the Heaven and Man Realm, it is not too easy to crush Xia Qing, and he can change his tricks to make Xia Qing's life worse than death, but if he wants to use martial arts, it will be difficult for him. Ordinary people don't have enough wisdom, or they don't have a good personality, so they have to practice hard from an early age to enter the Tao with martial arts, but he was born in the innate realm, and he has no experience in martial arts at all, how can he compare with Xia Qing?

Sometimes, life is too good and it is also sorrowful.

Venerable Bai was very embarrassed, and Gu Chu was the same, there was no way. Originally, I wanted to pretend to seal my own skills, and when I got to the ring, I suddenly broke the seal and killed Xia Qing, but I didn't expect that the trick would be broken before it could be shown. Xia Qing's incense burners look exactly the same as the treasure of the Five Poisons Sect, the Tongming incense burner, inhaling the strange incense of the Tongming incense burner, half an hour later, the skill is completely lost, and it is a tragedy to find out after rushing up recklessly. What makes people even more uncomfortable is that Xia Qing put out several incense burners at one time, and he didn't know which one was true and which one was fake, so he rushed up to worry about being hit, so he was unwilling to forget it, not to mention how uncomfortable it was.

"Damn, this kid is too insidious, too despicable!"

Several people spoke in unison, hating Xia Qing to the core, obviously cultivating much higher than Xia Qing, but they were helpless.
