Great Zhao Dynasty, the imperial city of Kyoto.

Pavilions and pavilions, jade tile glaze, the imperial capital guarded by the three thousand ironclad army is naturally prosperous and prosperous, although it is already sunset and night, but there are still pedestrians in Kyoto, and the flower street and willow lane are a song and dance.

There is another castle in Kyoto, but it is the royal seat, with gold bricks and green tiles, and the grandeur is extraordinary, compared with the hustle and bustle of the outer city, this imperial city is much quieter.

On top of a palace pavilion, she was dressed in exquisite clothes, and she was very rich, but she stood on the pavilion, looking at the moonlight, but her eyes were gloomy.

After a long time, she soft lips and spit out: "Although the brocade clothes and jade food are good, they are not as good as the coarse tea and light rice in the countryside...... After speaking, she sang quietly: "Green bamboo and green willow fields, crying, laughing and scolding to enjoy the world, sigh, once I wake up from a dream, I will never return......"

Thinking of the interesting stories in the field, thinking of the past with the country boy, Linglong only felt like a world away, and the corners of her mouth sometimes smiled, but when she thought of this moment, she had a sad face.

He ...... I just hope that he will forget about me, marry a woman of good character like everyone else, and live the rest of his life well, if he can get his wish, Linglong will have no other wish in this life!"

In the distance, Xiao Cui, who was dressed as a palace maid, looked at the slightly thin figure in gorgeous clothes and shook her head and sighed.

The two didn't know that at this moment, less than ten miles away from Kyoto, an old man and a young man had rushed to a town closest to Kyoto, and if there was no accident, the two of them could enter Kyoto on the next day.

These two people are naturally Qu Chong and Xingtian master and apprentice, the two found an inn and stayed, but after dinner, they went out again, inquired about passers-by and went to the only gambling house in this town.

And the reason why they go to the gambling hall is because they have no money.

Along the way, the master and apprentice spent money lavishly, Qu Chong said that the martial artist in the quenching period is the most important food supplement, and if he doesn't eat well, how can he temper the body, so he suddenly eats big fish and meat, and spends money like running water.

When the money is spent, there will naturally be an entry, and the source of this income is the gambling house.

"The Ask the Heavens algorithm practiced for the teacher was born from a divine skill of the Hexagram Mountain School, and all the divine skills are all heavy on a comprehension word, don't you ask me what is the mantra that you have been reciting every day for more than half a month? That is the mantra of the Ask the Heavens algorithm that the teacher has realized, and now you have to memorize it backwards, and in the future you can practice this magic method after reaching the realm of 'Tongzhi'. Qu Chong said as he walked.

"Tongqi Realm?" Xing Tian was stunned for a moment, he hadn't heard of this realm in the cultivation level of martial arts, but he had a puzzled look on his face.

"Regarding the level of martial arts, I'll tell you when we come out of the gambling hall, go to the gambling hall first!" When it comes to gambling money, Qu Chong is obviously quite high in nature.

"What does this have to do with us going to the gambling house?" Xing Tian was puzzled.

"It's a big deal!" Qu Chong glanced at Xingtian and said: "There is a trick of guessing the size in the gambling hall, but it is the best way to practice asking the gods of the heavens, in short, you will watch me from the side for a while, don't talk, learn more!"

Xingtian secretly gambled money, why did he say it so high-sounding, and what was there to learn from this, but he bowed his head and said nothing, and followed his master Qu into a gambling house with a lot of noise.

The gambling hall is not large, and there is a long and large table in the middle, and a stout man is shaking it vigorously with a palm-sized bamboo tube in his hand.

"Bet, bet, big or small, buy and leave!" This man is wearing a cardigan, showing his chest muscles, and his face is fierce, as if he has practiced martial arts. Obviously, he is the dealer, and around the table, there is a full group of people, and their eyes are looking directly at the bamboo tube in the hand of the strong man.

With a snap, the man buckled the bamboo tube in his hand on the table, and suddenly someone threw the copper coin and broken silver in his hand into the circle with the words big and small written on the table.

Naturally, if you throw it in the circle with the word 'small', you will buy small, and if you throw it in the circle with the word 'big', you will buy big.

Qu Chong didn't rush to buy it after he came in with Xingtian, but closed his eyes and meditated, and only after a while did he open his eyes, take out a piece of paper and a pen from his arms, moisten the tip of the pen in his mouth, and write down a line of words.

Then he put the paper away, and then took out some of the broken silver and joined the game.

Xing Tian watched the whole process from the sidelines, and after about half a pillar of incense, Qu Chong withdrew from the crowd with a handful of broken silver and a few silver tickets with a smile.

"Let's go, it's done!" Qu Chong laughed, no different from those gamblers who won the bet.

Out of the gambling hall, the master and apprentice found a tavern, ordered a few plates of side dishes and a pot of old wine and ate slowly. Naturally, the wine was not drunk, but Qu Chong took one sip after another, and drank it very refreshingly.

Xingtian was preoccupied, thinking naturally that it was a matter of Linglong, and the master said that Linglong's identity was extraordinary, and he was in Kyoto of the Great Zhao Dynasty, and if nothing happened, they could arrive before noon tomorrow. What will happen at that time, Xingtian really has no bottom in his heart, to be honest, if it weren't for the master Qu Chong accompanying him all the way this time, Xingtian wouldn't have been able to find this place at all.

For Master Qu Chong, Xingtian is already sincerely grateful and respectful in his heart, whoever is good to himself, Xingtian can still feel it, in addition to Daddy, Linglong, Master is the third person who is really good to himself.

Xing Tian understands the truth that the grace of a drop of water should be reciprocated by a spring, and he has already decided in his heart that no matter what happens in the future, he must honor his master well.

As if he saw Xingtian's thoughts, Qu Chong drank a glass of wine and said softly: "Don't worry, the sweetheart who predicted that you could see you tomorrow for the teacher, but the teacher can only do this." It's still the same sentence, you and the girl named Linglong can't be satisfied, so if you have anything to say, say it tomorrow, if you have anything, do it tomorrow, don't leave yourself with regrets......"

For Master Qu Chong's words, Xingtian is now very convinced, and if he thinks about it carefully, Xingtian can also find some clues. Linglong was quite mysterious when she appeared, and although the other party was a daughter, she was knowledgeable, knew music theory, read calligraphy and painting, and had excellent manners in speech and demeanor.

What is Kyoto?

Even the people in the countryside know that it is where the emperor lives, and the people there, if you find any one, are all high-ranking officials and wealthy families, and their identities are prominent.

It's just that even if Linglong's status is prominent, Xingtian is confident that the distance between the two will be shortened, and he clenched his fists hard, and Xingtian secretly made up his mind.

Qu Chong on the side saw Xingtian's expression, but he sighed secretly, and changed the topic: "Apprentice, you are already quite hot in the mountain and cloud steps that day, and you also need to continue to hone in the future, in order to integrate this footwork, and then you can step into the quenching body realm Xiaocheng, and you can also practice a higher level of quenching body martial arts, but remember, don't rush to practice martial arts, you must be stable layer by layer, the stronger the foundation, the higher the achievement will be in the future!"

Xing Tian knew that this was the master teaching himself, and hurriedly nodded yes.

"Tonight, I'll tell you about the realm of martial arts, as far as you know, how many realms are martial arts?" Qu Chong put down his wine glass and asked in a deep voice.

Xing Tian thought for a while and said truthfully: "The martial artists in the world are all strong flesh first, and they all use body quenching martial arts to temper the body first, and enter the body quenching realm. Then regulate the breath and absorb the qi, and cultivate the internal strength, so that the true qi can be used...... After that, there is still the cave opening realm, but I don't know how to do it!"

These were all learned from the old dumb man that night of Xingtian, Qu Chong nodded, and said: "Yes, the body is quenched and the body is solidified, the pranayama realm is used to absorb qi, and the true qi is incorporated to open the acupoints, and that is the acupoint opening realm." To open the acupoint realm, you need to use a large amount of true qi to rush through the one hundred and eight acupuncture points around the body to reach the Great Perfection realm, by the way, then Yu Tonghai has already broken through seventy-two acupuncture points, which is considered to be the completion of the acupoint opening realm, if you want to find trouble with him in the future, you must surpass him in cultivation!"

Qu Chong said simply, but Xing Tian's heart was shocked, and at the same time, this knowledge was like a bright lamp, illuminating some doubts in his heart.

"Yu Tonghai, break through the seventy-two acupuncture points, open the acupoint realm, wait, I will surpass it sooner or later!" Xing Tian was full of fighting intent in his heart.

Qu Chong continued: "And the one hundred and eight acupuncture points around the body are all washed away, and they will enter the realm of rigidity and softness, this realm is a test of the control of true qi, and it is only a great success to achieve supernatural transformation, and when the time comes, even if it is a casual true qi hit, you can do whatever you want, it can be as strong as a sharp axe to rush into the sky, and it can also be as soft as a cotton wool wave willow leaf long whip, to this realm can be regarded as a martial arts master, your master and I are in the stage of the great consummation of this realm of rigidity and softness!"

Xingtian was excited when he said this, thinking that the master had grabbed a hundred catties of boulder in the air and smashed the boulder a few zhang away, at that time he thought it was a god-man method, but now that he thinks about it, it should be the release of true qi and the freedom to control it in order to do this.

It's just that at this moment, Qu Chong's eyebrows showed a hint of gloom, and he said: "And after the realm of rigidity and softness is the 'Tongqi Realm', you must know that the knowledge is all through the gods, and when you reach this realm, you can communicate the qi of heaven and earth, and the power between the shots is more than a hundred times greater than that of ordinary martial artists...... It's a pity that I was full of energy back then, I didn't know the height of the sky, I rashly cultivated, and used my own true qi to urge this divine method, which ended up being devoured by heaven and reducing my life......"

In the last few sentences, Qu Chong's expression was gloomy, and his voice turned low, as if he thought of something, and muttered to himself.

However, Xingtian's ears and eyes were intelligent but he heard them all, and he was immediately taken aback and said, "Master, you ......"

Other Xingtian may not understand, but the word 'life reduction' is true, and now he is respectful of Qu Chong as a father, so he naturally cares about abnormalities.

Qu Chong knew that he was distracted, but he shook his head and said nothing, but after a while, he said: "This matter will have to be told to you sooner or later, since this is the case, it is better to say it earlier, it can also make you mentally prepared, come with me......"
