Time can't catch up with the white horse.

In the blink of an eye, it's another year.

......

Sunset.

The heat is receding.

Zhang Shi hung two hammers with short handles the size of a water tank on one shoulder, and a few roe deer and rabbits on the other shoulder, surrounded by several grass dogs, and stepped into the gate of Zhang's mansion, which became taller and more majestic.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw a little bean ding wearing open crotch pants, and opened a pair of small hands to greet him swayingly: "Brother Shi, hug!"

When a few straw dogs heard Xiaodouding's immature child's voice, they greeted him with joy, shaking their heads and waging their tails around him.

"Oops, big gray stinks. ”

Xiao Douding waved his little hands in disgust, trying to drive a few grass dogs away.

Seeing this, the strong man grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

He casually took off the hammer and game hanging on his shoulder and threw it aside, opened his arms to meet him and picked up the little bean dice, and a mouthful of "snap" was fragrant on the little face of the little bean cube.

Xiao Douding "giggled" and laughed, and his little hands supported the head of the strong man and didn't let him kiss him.

Li Youniang, who was dressed as a woman with her hair curled up and dressed as a woman, walked out of the back room, saw the game on the ground, and smiled gently: "Stone, went out to fight the mountain again?"

The strong man raised his head, nodded innocently, and said slowly sentence by sentence: "Well, I want to shoot a wild boar to make up for my grandma, but the wild boar in the mountains ran away when I saw me, and I couldn't hit it." “

Li Youniang smiled: "We still have filial piety." ”

"Is the stone back?"

A soft and smooth voice came from the house, and as soon as Li Youniang turned around, she saw Xia Tao holding Zhiqiu and slowly walking out of the back room.

Zhiqiu has a big belly, and his body is also a lot richer.

Li Youniang hurriedly greeted her and held her other hand: "Eldest sister, why did you come out." ”

"It's okay, the sun has set. ”

Zhiqiu smiled and patted the back of her hand gently, and said softly: "Master said, it's better to go out for a walk and breathe." ”

"The lord is a man's family, how does he know what to pay attention to when a woman is pregnant, when my sister-in-law was pregnant with Jintian, but she lay in the house for two whole months. ”

"It's okay, it's two or three months before the delivery...... Stone, come over and let Grandma take a look. ”

"Hey. ”

The stone cramped up the steps, and when it was far away, it stopped, refusing to come any closer.

He knew that his hands were heavy, but he was afraid that he would lean too tightly and accidentally hurt his grandma and his younger siblings in his mother's belly.

This kid has all his thoughts written on his face, and Zhiqiu can't see it.

She laughed out loud, "Look at the grass foam on your body, the sun will be too poisonous in the future, you won't go out, you know?"

Strange to say, on such a hot day, she stayed in a cool house with ice cubes, and felt unbearable heat, this child went out for a day in the wild, and there was not even a trace of sweat on his body.

The old man has long said that this child's physique is different from ordinary people, and now it seems that it is really unusual.

"The boy knows. ”

The stone clumsily shook his hands.

Zhiqiu reached out and plucked a few grass clippings from his hair, and said with a smile: "Who taught you this?"

"Uncle Mule taught. ”

"Hmph, he doesn't worry about so many things in the town, he comes to teach you something all day long, and the next time I see him, don't pay attention to him. ”

"The child obeyed. ”

"Alright, alright...... Come. “

Hearing this, several subordinates turned out, bowed down and said, "Big lady." ”

"Take down the game that Young Master Shi brought back and deal with it, it just so happens that there are guests in the house today, and I will clean it up at night, and then boil a bucket of hot water for Young Master Shi and wait for him to take a bath." ”

"Yes, Madame. ”

When Xia Tao heard this, she said strangely: "Sister, is Uncle Wu here too?"

In the past two years, many people have come to visit Zhang Chu.

But there are not many people who are qualified to step into the gate of Zhangfu, and it can even be said that there are very few.

Of course, the old men such as Mule, Zhang Meng, and Yu Er are not guests, they have to be regarded as half of the masters of Zhang's Mansion.

"It's not. ”

Zhiqiu shook his head slightly, "It seems to be the master's former colleague in the Zhenbei Army...... It seems to be surnamed Ji. ”

......

It has been more than half a year since the completion of the Taiping Society's helm.

This general rudder covers an area of eighteen acres.

It covers the hall of the red flowers, green leaves, thick soil, three rivers and four halls, and the main hall.

The main hall of the Taiping Society's rudder is full of dark colors, the ground is covered with a cashmere carpet with four elephant moires, and the chair coffee table placed in the hall is also made of fine nanmu, each of which is worth a thousand taels of silver!

This set of doors is a congratulatory gift sent by Wu Qianyuan on the day when the Taiping Society's general rudder was completed.

At this moment, there were only two people in the lobby.

Zhang Chu, who had a short beard on his lips, was dressed in a white background and silver-edged inky mountain and river pattern robes, wearing a red jade crown, and sat in the hall.

Without a golden lock house, a pheasant feather crown, and a red brocade uniform, Ji Ba, who is still heroic and extraordinary, sits under the hall.

Two days have been a long time of greetings.

"Let's get straight to the point!"

Ji Ba's kung fu to nourish his qi was still inferior to Zhang Chu after all, and finally he couldn't go around in circles, put down the tea bowl and said straight to the point: "We came here today, just to invite you out of the mountain, to be the deputy general of my former army, our brothers, and then cross the battlefield side by side, expel the Northern Barbarians, and return my rivers and mountains!"

"Hahaha......"

Zhang Chu laughed and put down the tea bowl and teased: "I knew that you were not so kind and ran so far to see me...... But our brothers, friendship is friendship, if you want to drink, I can accompany you to the end, as for the former deputy general, even if you achieve the six-grade qi sea hero, you don't need to talk about it!"

Ji Ba was stunned and asked, "How do you know that we have set foot in the sixth grade?"

Zhang Chu was also stunned, and said in a lost voice: "What, you are really a six-grade?"

Ji Ba scratched his head, "Huh, you don't know?"

Zhang Chu said angrily: "Where do I know where to go?"

These two people have not been together for a long time, but they are friends who kill the enemy side by side on the battlefield, and even though Ji Ba has already set foot in the six products, the two of them still have no scruples when they talk as before.

Ji Ba thought for a while, nodded and said: "Yes, we only set foot in Liupin three days ago, and we just received the tiger talisman seal of the former general from the young marshal, and we went straight to you, how could you know." ”

Zhang Chuda asked with great interest: "Seven-rank promotion and six-grade, what kind of promotion method is it?"

"It's not difficult, it's dangerous!"

Ji Ba nodded with emotion: "Seven grades and six grades, first of all, the five qi dynasty yuan, condense the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth in the internal organs, balance the five elements of blood and qi, the sea of qi is self-generated, open the sea of qi, then the real qi comes out!"

"The five elements are mutually reinforcing each other, but if there is the slightest difference, the blood will be irritable immediately, and more than ten years of penance will be lost!"

"We have been stuck for a year and a half by this level, and we can't get an inch!"

"Anyway, Lao Zhang, you're still practicing the marrow, right? The young marshal gave you so many Jiaogu Dan every month, and you have at least five turns now, right? In fact, it's almost there. ”

"In the past, we also felt that it was very important to practice the marrow for a few more turns, but now after stepping into the six grades, I feel that in fact, practicing the marrow is more and less, in fact, it is not so important, as long as we can practice to the realm of 'chalcedony', the blood and qi circulation is enough, and a few more turns, the room for improvement is also very small......

"Hey, no, aren't we talking about you going out of the mountain and returning to the former army, why did you bring up all this......"

Ji Ba is like this, facing people he is not familiar with or looks down on, it is like gold, and he turns his face at every turn.

But as long as you are familiar with it, you will find that this guy is actually a talker, and he has a bit of a habit of being a teacher.

And yet he

He was still thinking about the level of the seventh rank and the sixth grade.

Over the past year or so, he has also collected some information on the promotion of seven grades and six grades through various channels, but most of them are just vague words.

There's no way, he can't get in touch with the circle of the Qi Hai Hao now, even if he can get along with some Qi Hai Hao through some efforts, no one is willing to guide him sincerely.

This was the first time he knew so clearly about the process of the promotion of the seventh rank to the sixth grade.

Balancing the Five Elements?

But his blood has long been occupied by fire.

The icy aura he had obtained from that Northern Barbarian Sixth-Rank White Wolf Lord before was not powerful, but after entering his body, he was suppressed by the fire qi like a mouse, and he could only curl up in the corner and tremble, unable to exert his due power at all.

Even that cold and icy qi couldn't withstand the suppression of the fire, and the five elements of blood qi that he condensed from his internal organs were afraid that he couldn't withstand the suppression of the fire!

How is this balanced?

Zhang Chu couldn't figure it out, thinking that Ji Ba could be regarded as a reliable friend, so he asked, "Old Ji, if you can't balance the five elements, won't you be able to give birth to the sea of qi?"

Ji Ba didn't think about it and said: "Of course, otherwise how can there be so many seven-ranks, who have been stuck alive by this level for a lifetime, and they don't dare to risk breaking through the six-grade until they die." ”

Zhang Chu thought about it, and felt that he didn't express it clearly, so he simply raised his hand and urged his blood.

"Bang. ”

A red flame the size of a man's head burst out of his palm, blazing.

Zhang Chu Chong Ji raised this blazing fire, and asked: "The situation is like this, I used to eat a fiery red fruit by mistake, and then my blood and qi became like this, I just heard you say that the seventh grade is promoted to the sixth grade, and the five elements must be balanced, but I guess that just like me, there is no way to balance the five elements, you see, is there any special way to make me open the sea of qi?"

Ji Ba looked at the flame in the palm of his hand, his eyes were straight, and his mouth kept saying in pieces: "Sure enough, sure enough!"

He had long known that Zhang Chu's blood and qi were different.

thinks that at the beginning, he had suffered under Zhang Chu's blood.

But at that time, he hadn't even begun to balance the five elements, so he didn't think about it at all.

Later, I thought about it, but I couldn't get it right.

The Five Elements Blood Qi condensed from the internal organs was too weak, like a spark seed.

Not to mention that it hurts people with that little bit of blood and qi of the five elements, and the consumption of blood and qi is a little larger, this spark will be extinguished, and it will have to come again.

And Zhang Chu is a bonfire!

"Hey, why are you stunned, talking to you!"

Ji Ba came back to his senses suddenly, frowned and thought for a long time, before he said slowly: "We have never heard of your situation...... However, we think that you can try to open the sea of qi directly!"

Zhang Chu asked, "What do you mean?"

Ji Ba didn't answer, and also raised his hand.

"Sting. ”

A fist-sized blood-red flame rose from his palm, "This is the true qi of the Fury Flame. ”

Zhang Chu looked at the flame in his palm, and he was not surprised.

As soon as he left, he knew that when the seventh rank was promoted to the sixth rank, he could use a special way to make the true qi have special attributes.

The Northern Barbarians' Qi Sea is a great man, and their true qi attributes are basically water and ice.

Da Li belongs to the fire virtue, Shang Chi, civil and military officials, generals and soldiers, all respect the red, the Zhenbei army often fights with the northern barbarians, and the army is a general of the air and sea, of course, mainly to the fire.

"How did you get it?"

He was not surprised in his heart, but he still followed Ji Ba's words and asked, and he should be praised.

"When I opened the sea of qi, I used a fire in the center of the earth as a guide to smelt the true qi of the furious flame. ”

Zhang Chu seemed to have an understanding.

According to Ji Ba's meaning, the sea of qi balanced by the five elements can be regarded as a fertile soil, and the introduction at that moment can be regarded as a seed.

Sow melons and get melons.

Sow beans and get beans......

"Do you mean to say that when I am the master of the seven grades, I will directly use a fire introduction to ignite the fire in my blood and qi to obtain the true qi?"

Zhang Chu asked thoughtfully.

Ji Ba nodded and said, "That's what it means." ”

"This ...... Is it possible?"

Ji Ba raised his hand and said irresponsibly: "Then we don't know, you are a dead horse and a live horse doctor, if you can succeed, you can cross the level of balancing the five elements and directly break through the six grades." ”

"If it doesn't work...... You could just set yourself on fire and die. ”

Considering that he can't beat Ji Ba now, Zhang Chu really wants to drag him out and beat him a hundred times!

Damn, you dare to say such irresponsible words?

Break up!

"But logically speaking, it should be doable. ”

"It is necessary to know that true qi is a force that is countless times stronger than blood qi, and balancing the blood qi of the five elements is essentially to obtain a little bit of blood qi that is closest to true qi, and to open the sea of qi is to smelt this trace of blood qi and obtain true qi. ”

"This level can be tried many times, the sea of qi has been opened more than a dozen times, and it took to break through the sea of qi of the six grades, there are too many to count, we have the guidance of our predecessors in the army, and the seed of earth and fire, all of which have been opened three times before opening the true qi. ”

"Your blood qi, because of this fire qi, is essentially many times stronger than ordinary blood qi, but you can't unite the five elements, if you want to open the sea of qi, you can only make a desperate bet. “

"Success, six products. ”

"If you lose, you will burn yourself to death!"

"All you can do is prepare. ”

"First, try your best to increase your own blood qi for the consumption of the sea of qi...... With our experience, almost 100% of the blood qi can be smelted into a true qi. ”

"Second, look for a fire aura that is more powerful than the fire qi in your blood, otherwise you will not be able to melt your blood. “

Zhang Chu listened carefully, and felt that what Ji Ba said made sense.

Sure enough, those who can cultivate to the realm of Qi Hai Dahao are not stupid.

What a fool, I'm afraid I can't even understand these complex martial arts knowledge.

"That's right, let's give it a try. ”

Zhang Chu got up and walked over with the puff of flame in his palm.

Ji Ba looked at the flame in the palm of his hand, then at Zhang Chu, and asked with an incredulous expression, "Are you serious?"

"What nonsense, just try it!"

Zhang Chu looked impatient, in fact, in his heart, he still had confidence in the anger in his blood.

The little old man used this anger to suppress his own cold poison.

The little old man was at his peak.

If you can hurt him, it's at least four grades!

Even the cold poison of the four grades can be suppressed, how can this fire qi be more powerful than the fire introduction practiced by the general of the Zhenbei Army, right?

Ji Ba stretched out his hand, and a blood-red flame appeared in his palm again: "You have to think about it, we are really angry......"

Zhang Chu looked at the flame in his palm, withdrew a part of the blood qi from his palm, adjusted the volume of the flame to be about the same size as the one in Ji Ba's hand, and then pushed the flame in his palm, slowly approaching the flame in Ji Ba's palm.

Two flames touched each other.

In the next second, the two flames exploded at the same time.

Zhang Chu only felt a huge force attacking, he took a step back with his left leg, stabilized his body, and stared at the two flames tightly.

Ji Ba also stared closely at the two flames that had slowly merged together.

Under the gaze of the two, Zhang Chu's crimson flame slowly devoured Ji Ba's blood-red flame.

Jiba: ......

Zhang Chu: ......

The fire in his own blood is very strong, which is not what Zhang Chu expected.

But that's not necessarily a good thing...... Where behind him is he to find a fire trigger that is stronger than this fire?

Still, here's how.

He should still be able to beat Ji Ba now.

After all, Ji Ba has just broken through the sixth grade, and the true qi in his body should not be too strong!

Or, while you can beat him now, beat this guy first?

Thinking of this, Zhang Chu opened his eyes, and his eyes were not quite right when he looked at Ji Ba.

"Boom. ”

Ji Ba also seemed to realize something, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said confidently: "What do you want to do, we are guests!"

Zhang Chu: "Hehe......"
