Chapter 180: I've Decided! [6,000-word chapter, ask for subscription]
In the courtyard, Liu Xiaoqiang was practicing boxing, his arms refracting the luster of metal in the moonlight, and he finally practiced double iron arms in the past few days after Qin Ziling left, which was faster than expected.
"Childe, you're back!" Liu Xiaoqiang didn't know that Qin Ziling had an accident on the way back, and when he saw him coming back, he happily put away his fists, and bowed slightly to greet him.
"Yes, yes, you're moving faster than I thought. Next, if you boil and boil, you can prepare to condense ......" Qin Ziling looked at Liu Xiaoqiang and said happily, but halfway through his words, he suddenly paused, thought for a while and said, "Maybe you can continue to try to hammer your legs." The more solid the foundation, the better it will be for you in the future. ”
"Thank you, Childe, I've already tried, it's hard to find the feeling of hammering your legs, unlike your arms, when you were lucky, you could feel the qi and blood agitating under the epidermum. So, don't waste time and resources. Liu Xiaoqiang said with gratitude on his face when he heard this.
"Really? Will it be that different? Qin Ziling looked thoughtful.
For him, there is almost no difficulty in tempering his limbs, in fact, the difficulty of the main torso is not too great, and when he first starts tempering, he can clearly perceive and control the agitation and impact of qi and blood under the epithelial membrane of these parts. The biggest difficulty is still those sensitive and fragile parts.
But now Liu Xiaoqiang actually said that it was difficult to find a feeling in his legs, which was a bit unexpected for Qin Ziling.
"Yes! Not to mention iron in my legs, even in cowhide, I don't have the slightest confidence. Liu Xiaoqiang replied.
"In that case, forget it, the iron skin of the arms is already very powerful." Qin Ziling nodded and said, he didn't have the heart to delve into this issue for the time being.
"yes, I think I'm already strong!" Liu Xiaoqiang grinned.
Qin Ziling smiled, said hello to Du Hongmei's mother and daughter, and went to the main house to see Cui's.
After seeing Cui's family, Qin Ziling immediately turned back to Wuyang Mountain.
The cave of Wuyang Mountain that Xiao Jing said was not the cave where Qin Ziling cultivated, but the cave where he interrogated Xu Pengjin last time and subdued Shao E.
"Big brother!" Qin Ziling had just appeared not far from the entrance of the cave, when a beautiful figure rushed out of the mouth of the cave, and then threw himself into his arms, hugging him tightly, as if he was afraid of losing him, tears soaked his chest.
"Haven't I come back? What is there to cry about! Qin Ziling touched Xiao Jing's jet-black and silky hair, and his nose was a little sour.
At the mouth of the cave, I don't know when, there were four people: Yun Xiwu, Xia Yan and Shilong Shihu.
The four of them looked at Qin Ziling with different expressions.
Xia Yan was secretly wiping away tears, while Yun Xiwu and her two sons were full of horror and disbelief.
That's a great martial artist in the late stage of bone refining!
They thought that Qin Ziling would inevitably be in danger this time, and secretly shed tears for his righteous act of sacrificing his life to save people, even the two iron-clad men of Shilong and Shihu were no exception.
As a result, Qin Ziling actually returned safely, and now Qin Ziling appeared with his true face, and that young face made them feel like they had seen a ghost in broad daylight.
"I didn't cry, I was just happy!" Xiao Jing quickly pushed Qin Ziling away, wiped away his tears, took a deep breath, and returned to some of his former coldness.
Qin Ziling smiled, then patted her shoulder, and beckoned to Yun Xiwu and the others: "It's okay, now we can go home." ”
As soon as Qin Ziling said this, the whole world fell silent.
Everyone stared at Qin Ziling with shocked eyes, even Xiao Jing.
Being able to go home naturally means that Long Xiaotian has been killed by Qin Ziling!
But the problem is that Long Xiaotian is a great martial artist in the late stage of bone refining!
How many people in the entire Xiyun Prefecture have the ability to kill him?
No, let alone kill him, there aren't many people who can defeat him!
Originally, they thought that Qin Ziling would be able to escape from Long Xiaotian's hands.
As a result, Qin Ziling's words revealed the information that Long Xiaotian had been killed by him.
Even though Xiao Jing knew that Qin Ziling had the strength to suppress and kill the Evil Birds, it was still hard to believe this conclusion.
Being able to suppress the great martial artists in the late stage of bone refining, doesn't that mean that Qin Ziling's strength is already close to the grandmaster level?
"Big brother, you give Long Xiaotian ......" Finally, Xiao Jing broke the silence with a trembling voice.
"There will be no such person as Long Xiaotian in the future, and you should not mention this person again in the future! We didn't know him at all, and we never met him. Qin Ziling interrupted.
Heaven and earth fell into a dead silence again, except for the sound of heavy panting.
Shilong and Shihu are not afraid of the sky, they are only afraid of their mothers and Xiao Jing's fools, at this time, looking at Qin Ziling's back, cold sweat is rolling down drop by drop, and his eyes are full of awe.
"Alright, don't be in a daze, let's go. Do you want to spend the night here? Qin Ziling gently patted Xiao Jing's shoulder and smiled.
Only then did everyone wake up.
"Stone Dragon and Stone Tiger, you take the things out of the cave and take them away." Xiao Jing turned back to Shi Long Shi Hu and commanded.
"Yes, Miss." The stone dragon brothers answered, and then returned to the cave, carrying several large burdens on their backs.
"You don't have faith in your big brother like that?" Qin Ziling saw that the stone dragon and stone tiger were each carrying several big burdens, and they looked at Xiao Jing and said
"It's not that I'm not confident, I'm just preparing for the worst! If Big Brother doesn't come back, we'll have to leave Xiyunzhou. Xiao Jing replied calmly.
Although Xiao Jing replied calmly, Qin Ziling knew that if he didn't come back, Xiao Jing would come back one day to avenge him!
……
The next day.
It was snowing in Fangqi City.
The snow was like catkins at first, and then gradually grew larger and flew down like pieces of goose feathers.
Mountain and wild residences, backyards, gazebos.
There is a barbecue grill in the gazebo, and various beast-shaped "animal carbon" are burned in it.
This kind of "animal carbon" is carbon that only large households can afford, and there is no smoke.
Wearing a goose-yellow skirt, Xia Yan, who has a plump body, is roasting game on the barbecue, and her face is red with charcoal fire, which has a unique charm.
Qin Ziling and Xiao Jing sat opposite each other, leisurely drinking the warm golden jade wine.
Xiao Jing's gaze crossed Qin Ziling's gaze and landed outside the pavilion, and the snowflakes were getting bigger and bigger.
A plum tree in the corner of the courtyard is blooming in the wind and snow.
Xiao Jing couldn't help but think of this time last year, when she and Qin Ziling were also sitting and drinking here.
"The snow is more and more awe-inspiring, and the temperament in the flower is the strongest. Outdated and self-congruent drifted away, and shame begged for mercy to Dongjun. Xiao Jing chanted lightly, and his eyes became a little blurred.
When Xia Yan heard this poem, a pair of beautiful eyes couldn't help but look at Qin Ziling, revealing a different kind of affection.
Xiao Jing quickly withdrew his gaze.
The gaze is no longer blurred, but resolute.
"Big brother, I don't want to start refining bones now, I want to dissipate my strength and rebuild my foundation!" Xiao Jing said.
"No, it's too dangerous!" Qin Ziling's face changed slightly when he heard this.
"I don't want yesterday's events to happen again in front of me, so if I can't keep up with my eldest brother's pace, I'd rather lose all my skills and become an ordinary woman!" Xiao Jing said with a firm expression.
"As an eldest brother, I was meant to protect my sister. Besides, you are the iron skin of your arms and two calves as the foundation, and the foundation is already more solid than many people, if you use the flesh and blood as a secret medicine and break through to become a bone refining great martial artist, your strength will definitely be stronger than that of a great martial artist of the same level.
At that time, in terms of martial arts alone, I may not necessarily be better than you, at least the realm will definitely not be as good as you. And don't look at me as powerful, that's because I have a lot of means for yin people, not like you, who is a real skill. Qin Ziling tried to belittle herself as much as possible, trying to re-establish Xiao Jing's self-confidence and dispel her thoughts of dissipating her strength.
Although Qin Ziling has never dispersed his strength, he also knows that once the strength is successfully condensed, it is no different from a severed limb if it is dispersed, not only has to endure the pain that ordinary people can't bear, but it is also very dangerous, and after dispersing the strength, it is like breaking the mirror and wanting to reunite, it is extremely difficult!
Last time, Xiao Jing was able to regain her strength, it was because she never gave up, and re-built the foundation for seven years, and then happened to meet Qin Ziling and caught a young python of the Eight Desolations.
Only then did Xiao Jing break and stand up, breaking through to the realm of transformation in one fell swoop.
But this is the second time to scatter energy, and the danger and uncertainty are even greater!
"I've decided!" Xiao Jing said.
"Big brother's words don't work, do they?" Qin Ziling's face sank and said.
"Please forgive me for not listening to you this time." Xiao Jing said apologetically.
Hearing this, Qin Ziling had a gloomy face and didn't speak, and poured wine into his mouth cup after cup.
"Big brother don't worry too much, I didn't make this decision on a whim. I've had to think about it many times before I made this decision. Seeing this, Xiao Jing reached out and grabbed Qin Ziling's hand and said softly.
"You say." Qin Ziling's face was still gloomy, but the wine glass was put back on the table.
"My roots now are my arms and my feet. I used to think about my thighs and other parts, but no matter how hard I tried, it was difficult for me to clearly feel the flow of qi and blood in other parts, let alone control the qi and blood in those parts.
But since I broke through to become a Transforming Martial Artist, my strength can travel anywhere around my body, and I have also nourished and tempered these parts, and my whole senses have become sharper. So now, I am definitely much better than before in terms of familiarity, senses, and control of other parts of my body.
Therefore, if I lose my strength this time and re-lay the foundation, I am very sure that all my limbs will be iron-clad, and even my back will be able to reach the iron-clad level. Xiao Jing said.
"So, it wasn't that you didn't want to temper other parts before, but because it was difficult to clearly feel the surging of qi and blood in other parts?" Qin Ziling frowned and asked.
Last night, Liu Xiaoqiang said the same thing, but his condition was worse than Xiao Jing, not to mention his calves, and even his feet were difficult to control.
"Yes, so if I want to lay a solid foundation like your eldest brother, I can only scatter my strength and start over!" Xiao Jing replied.
Qin Ziling glanced at Xiao Jing when he heard this, and then lowered his head in contemplation.
"It seems that I still think things simple. Some big families are powerful, rich in resources, and there are many martial artists in the family, but there are very few children who have a particularly solid foundation. It seems that it is not that they don't want to, but that they have limited control over the qi and blood skin.
Like Liu Xiaoqiang, who controls his arms, it is difficult for him to be distracted to control his feet and legs. Xiao Jing was a lot stronger, but he also stopped at his calves. But I don't have this problem, it seems that it has something to do with cultivating the gods!
When I was in the Qi and Blood Realm, the Divine Soul was already in the Exorcism Realm, far exceeding the Martial Dao Realm, and because of the remnant soul of Li Mo, I had actually already touched some distracting mysteries at that time. With such a powerful divine soul, he can naturally control the weak body in detail. I have made such rapid progress in Qi refining, and it should be largely due to the blessing of the strong Divine Soul. ”
For a while, Qin Ziling had a lot of thoughts in his mind.
In the past, he had speculated in this regard, but he was not very sure, but now it is very clear.
"But this is just your beautiful thoughts, have you ever thought about the pain and danger of dispersing strength, and after dispersing strength, even if you have a solid foundation, the success of wanting to reunite your strength will ......" Soon, Qin Ziling looked up at Xiao Jing again and frowned.
"It is indeed very painful and dangerous to disperse the strength, and it is really difficult to reunite after the dispersion, so martial artists generally do it as a last resort, and I also dispersed the strength last time in order to survive.
But I was lucky enough to meet my eldest brother, and I was able to re-condense my strength and cultivate to the next level, so I accumulated experience in this area. So, I'm still certain about it, and don't you have a mantle in your hands, big brother?
The body of the dragon has the blood of the dragon, and it belongs to water, which is exactly the right match for my Qinglong Xuanmu strength, which is many times stronger than the Eight Desolation Python, and I only need to eat a little bit at that time, plus the experience of the last time, the possibility of successful condensation again is still very great. Xiao Jing said.
Qin Ziling looked at Xiao Jing and knew that she had made up her mind, and no matter how much she said, it was useless, so she had to nod helplessly.
"Thank you, big brother!" Xiao Jing saw Qin Ziling nodding in agreement, and a happy smile appeared on his face.
Qin Ziling looked at Xiao Jing with a happy face, and didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
Women, it's not a good thing to be too strong!
"This time, you have revealed your identity in Panqi Mountain, and it is estimated that this matter will soon reach Pang Qiwei's ears. The Pang family will definitely find an opportunity to attack you, if you don't lose your strength, the Pang family will miscalculate your strength, and maybe you will have to suffer a loss.
But if you want to lose your strength, you have to make all the preparations in advance, and during this time, it seems that you have to find a place to lurk and retreat. Qin Ziling's expression gradually became serious.
Now that Xiao Jing's matter has been decided, there is no need to worry about success or failure, but should consider arranging the next things.
"Couldn't Mr. Qin secretly kill Pang Qiwei?" Xia Yan brought a plate of barbecue and said softly.
"I'm really going to insist on killing Ponziway now, even if he is heavily guarded, he can't escape to death! But his identity is extraordinary after all, if he is really assassinated, it will definitely attract the suspicion and attention of the official, as well as the forces of all parties, and many people are afraid that they will set their sights on Fang Qi City, or they should be stable.
It is best to wait for Xiao Jing to become a bone refining great martial artist, and then Xiao Jing will lead the Xiao family and the Lu family to find a suitable excuse and opportunity to uproot the Pang family and the Lin family, so that it will be much more reasonable, and it will not be easy to arouse the suspicion and attention of others, and the Xiao family can also take advantage of the situation to control Fangqi County. Qin Ziling said.
"Mr. Qin is far-sighted, the slave maid was talking nonsense just now, don't ...... it" Xia Yan looked at Qin Ziling's eyes full of admiration and admiration when she heard this, and said with a slight bow.
"What slaves and maids are not slaves, I have said it, I don't need to call myself like this in front of me in the future." Qin Ziling waved his hand to interrupt, and then before Xia Yan could speak, he had already picked up a piece of barbecue, took a bite of it, and said with a smile: "Xia Yan, your skills are getting better and better!" ”
"Thank you, Mr. Qin, for the compliment. As long as Mr. Qin likes it, I will ...... in the future Baked often for you to eat. Xia Yan said with a slight blush.
"I can't ask for that!" Qin Ziling smiled.
Xia Yan's delicate body trembled slightly when she heard this, and her face turned even redder, but her eyes were full of joy.
Seeing this, Qin Ziling felt a sigh in his heart, and didn't dare to think about it, so he picked up a piece of barbecue meat and handed it to Xiao Jing, saying, "You can also eat a piece, Miss Xia Yan is really good at roasting." ”
Xiao Jing took the barbecue, and glanced at Qin Ziling with a pair of beautiful eyes, and Qin Ziling inexplicably had a feeling of being a thief.
But when I look back, I didn't do anything!
"Ahem, get down to business! Speaking of places, I have a good place, and I should basically be practicing there in the future, and you can come with me. Qin Ziling said.
"I Have a Catalogue of Ghosts and Gods"
"Hmm!" Xiao Jing nodded and said, "I'm going to trouble big brother!" ”
When he said this, Xiao Jing, who was decisive and resolute, lowered his head, and his face showed a touch of shame.
"What do we have to do with it, there is no trouble, no ......" Qin Ziling said casually, but when it came to the back, the word "trouble" could no longer be said.
A picture of inappropriate children comes to mind!
The atmosphere of the gazebo suddenly became ambiguous and subtle.
"I practice the Cold Iron Palm, and the strength is too strong. Therefore, you must still bring Xia Yan. Soon Qin Ziling sat upright and said with a straight face.
Xiao Jing didn't answer, but was silent for a while, and slowly looked up at Qin Ziling.
His eyes were calm, and there was no blush on his face.
"For the thigh tempering part, Xia Yan's shot should be enough. But in the back and other parts, with Xia Yan's cultivation of luck, it is estimated that her strength is not well controlled, and I am afraid that she will still have to bother her eldest brother to make a move. Xiao Jing said.
When Qin Ziling heard this, he originally wanted to blurt out that he could call Shao E, she was a martial artist, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back, nodded and said, "Let's see then." ”
Everyone said so in the girl's family, how can he be a big man?
"And when are we leaving?" Xiao Jing asked.
"This matter should be sooner rather than later, Pang Qiwei probably hasn't received the news yet, if you can over there, then today." Qin Ziling said.
"It's all trivial things on my side, just entrust things to Aunt Yun. It's mainly up to you, big brother, if it's okay on your side, after half an hour, Xia Yan and I can leave. Xiao Jing said.
"Okay, an hour later, we will meet at the foot of Xisheng Mountain." Qin Ziling said.
Which location is at the foot of Xisheng Mountain, Qin Ziling didn't say, and Xiao Jing didn't ask.
Xia Yan originally wanted to ask, but seeing that Xiao Jing didn't ask, she thought that she knew, so it would be no problem.
After saying this, Qin Ziling got up and left the mountain field Suju.
Return to Anhe Village.
Qin Ziling went to Shuiyue Villa first.
The snow is still falling, under the white sky, the Water Moon Mountain Villa has been covered with a layer of snow, and there is a small river flowing slowly in front of it, which looks extraordinarily quiet, like a paradise without a dispute with the world.
But inside Shuiyue Mountain Villa, on the side of the martial arts training ground, even if it snowed, it was still a hot scene.
Lu Taiqiang and others are all seriously practicing strength and boxing.
Under a large umbrella, Zuo Le was still lying on the rattan chair as usual, squinting his eyes, looking sick.
Except for a few people, no one knew that at this time, the qi and blood power in his body was quietly running, surging and powerful.
"Senior Brother Qin!"
"Ziling!"
Seeing Qin Ziling coming in, everyone greeted each other, and Qin Ziling also nodded to everyone to say hello.
"Left Division!" Qin Ziling walked up to Zuo Le and bowed slightly.
"Come on, Cong'er has been talking about you every day these days. It's snowy here, so let's go in and talk. Zuo Le got up and said.
The people on the martial arts training ground were no longer surprised that Zuo Le valued Qin Ziling so much.
"Master Zuo, do you have any cold iron palm bone refining exercises?" After entering the owner's study, after the master and apprentice sat down, Qin Ziling asked.
"You've already condensed your strength?" Zuo Le asked, not surprised at all.
This is a matter of time before Qin Ziling, in fact, Qin Ziling is only now condensing his strength, and in Zuo Le's opinion, it is already very late.
He should have condensed his strength a long time ago!
"Yes." Qin Ziling nodded.
"Good!" After getting a positive answer, Zuo Le said happily, "When you haven't condensed your strength, you can already fight with me, and now that you have condensed your strength, your strength should be able to stabilize the strength of the martial artist!" In this way, counting Miss Shao'e, we can be regarded as having three martial artists.
Now, in addition to our heritage, we are not as good as the Xiao family and other big families, and in terms of top powerhouses, we are no longer lost to ......"
"Master Zuo, I'm already a Martial Artist!" Qin Ziling interrupted.
Zuo Le's words were suddenly stuck in his neck, and he swallowed his saliva for a long time, and after thinking about it for a long time, he spoke again: "Then is your current strength able to fight with the great martial artist in the early stage of bone refining?" ”
Qin Ziling nodded, he didn't dare to reveal too much, so as not to scare Zuo Le.
Of course, there is no need to reveal too much for the time being!
But Rao is like this, Zuo Le was also shocked, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
After a while, Zuo Lecai got up, rubbed his hands excitedly and walked around the study, and kept saying, "Okay!" Good! Good! ”
It's no wonder that Zuo Le was excited.
The great martial artist in the early stage of bone refining is already a ceiling existence in Fang Lance City.
Even if it is placed in other counties in Xiyun Prefecture, it is still a first-class powerhouse that can dominate one side.
Looking at Zuo Le's excited appearance, Qin Ziling thought to himself, fortunately, he didn't reveal anything more just now.
