35.7 per cent for option I, 42.8 per cent for option two, 7.1 per cent for option three and 14.3 per cent for option four.

……

[Option 2]

[Tell Xiang Renjie that he already knows [Taiqing Gangqi], and let him teach him the [Double Hook] move]

……

Actually, I already know the internal strength [too clear and clear].

Zheng Zhuo told Xiang Renjie everything he had experienced after the separation. Including subduing Lin Qi, locking him in a firewood room, forcing him to teach himself the [Taiqing Gangqi] method in the name of treating his injuries, inquiring about information, and then hurrying to save people, etc.

As for Fu Xi's manipulation of Lin Qi to save the scene, he didn't say that it was a partner of the [Subconscious World]—it was too difficult to understand, and Xiang Renjie would definitely think he was crazy.

Zheng Zhuo only excused himself by saying that when he left the firewood room, he was afraid that Lin Qi would chase and kill, so he fed Lin Qi drugs that would make him comatose and crazy. Lin Qihui happened to jump off the bridge and landed on the small boat where the two of them were riding, which was purely accidental.

Xiang Renjie originally thought that Lin Qi had a personal vendetta with those two personal disciples after him this time. Now it's finally clear.

He didn't believe Zheng Zhuo's statement at first. But the facts are ironclad in front of him, At that time, Lin Qi was indeed delirious, and his face was like a wandering spirit, so Xiang Renjie had to believe it.

"It's just a coincidence. Could it be that in the dark, God has its own fixed number? ”

He has encountered too many strange things recently, and he can't help but look up to the sky and sigh.

……

The river swung all the way to the east.

Since it was known that Zheng Zhuo had learned [Taiqing Gangqi], Xiang Renjie no longer taught the internal skills of the side. He just urged Zheng Zhuo to memorize the chapters in the [Guiyi Sutra] and practice internal strength day and night.

During the break, Zheng Zhuo proposed that he wanted to master a blade move for self-defense. Xiang Renjie agreed.

Xiang Renjie doesn't know how to hook the Kunlun faction. What he taught Zheng Zhuo was a [Fishing Hook Method]. This is the Beihai Tuoba clan from the deep-sea hook fish hook method of the epiphany of the tricks, spread widely, for the Central Plains to make the hook people commonly used, the characteristics are both accurate and ruthless, suitable for beginners who are not strong in internal strength.

Moreover, this move is often used in gang jumping battles. Practicing on a boat right now is exactly the perfect fit.

Zheng Zhuo saved Xiang Renjie's life for the second time, and Xiang Renjie's attitude towards him was much better than before. Seeing that the time, place, and people were all there, he no longer hid it, and simply taught Zheng Zhuo some of the methods of the [Guiyi Sutra] blade.

Zheng Zhuo thought that this person really had the will to accept himself as an apprentice, and secretly regretted it in his heart, and said: "(Each world can only stay for a short time, and I just climbed up from the bottom, and I don't have to enjoy it!)" If I can stay in this world for ten years and eight years, and have Xiang Renjie, who knows how to [Guiyijing], as a master, supplemented by the skills of [Identification], [Quick Hands and Feet], [Disguise], and [Alchemy], I will become the first person in the martial arts! ）”

He felt that he was becoming more and more like a part-time worker in this [subconscious world]: when the business was proficient and the salary was high, it was time to transfer to another department.

In the midst of these broken thoughts, Zheng Zhuo turned his grief and anger into motivation and worked hard.

The first seven days passed, and Zheng Zhuo's [Taiqing Gangqi] became small.

Xiang Renjie began to teach him to recognize acupuncture points, and then taught him [acupuncture hands].

It only took a short time to recognize the acupuncture points. The so-called [point acupuncture hand], as long as it is pointed at the corresponding acupuncture point of the other party, it can be used to convey true qi, and it is also very simple. According to Xiang Renjie, this is the basic skill of a martial artist. The difference between strong and weak only lies in whether the internal strength is strong or not.

The second seven days passed, Zheng Zhuo was accustomed to the shaking hull of the boat, and he was able to play every routine of the fishing hook method as smoothly.

He didn't feel anything special, but the panel showed that his [Fisherman's Hook Method] was small.

There is no place for Zheng Zhuo to celebrate, and his key homework is still to rush to the acupoint for Xiang Renjie every day. Zheng Zhuo's internal strength is far inferior to Kunlun Elder Xuanjizi, but it is better to persevere every day. After another two days, he finally unlocked all of Xiang Renjie's acupoints.

Xiang Renjie immediately sat down and meditated for a week. Finding that the operation was unimpeded and there was no sense of sluggishness, his face showed joy.

"It's finished." Xiang Renjie said, "Tomorrow we will get off the boat and go to Luoling by land!" ”

……

【Zheng Zhuo】

[Internal strength: Taiqing Gangqi (Xiaocheng)]

[External power: none]

[Moves: Wild Ball Boxing (Xiaocheng), Small Grappler (Xiaocheng), Point Acupuncture Hand]

[Blade: Double Hook: Tripping Horse Hook Method, Double Hook: Fishing Hook Method (Xiaocheng)]

【Qimen: None】

……

Only then did you master the most suitable move to engage the enemy on the ship, and you had to get off the ship and take the land route. Zheng Zhuo complained about the status quo in his heart, and followed Xiang Renjie off the boat.

No way. Next, the Korai River will flow south into the Great River, and Luoling will be in the north, not on the same way.

It is better to say that Xiang Renjie recovered one day earlier, and they still have one less day of detours.

Along the way, there are poor mountains and evil mountains. The two of them walked along the path where the locals were chopping wood, all the way up the mountain.

Zheng Zhuo sometimes really wanted to know how Xiang Renjie identified the direction. [Identification] can't give an answer. He did not use the exercises, but simply looked at the shape of the sun and mountains during the day and the position of the stars at night to determine the direction.

Sometimes, he would pinch his fingers to calculate how much time had passed since he left the place where he had discarded the One Sutra, and how much he should have changed the position of the stars now.

Zheng Zhuo saw it in the clouds.

Why can't this skill be counted as an exercise? If he could, this was the exercise he wanted to learn the most.

However, even if he asked Xiang Renjie "how can I determine the position like this", Xiang Renjie only said "It's always a layman, somehow it will".

There was no constructive answer at all.

Zheng Zhuo had no choice but to go with him.

……

For several days. Zheng Zhuo and Xiang Renjie traveled during the day and rested at night, never stopping. Both of them have practiced internal skills, one holds a long hook, opens the mountain and splits the road, and the progress is very fast.

It's just that Zheng Zhuo secretly said in his heart that the [Fisherman's Hook Method] should be renamed [Wood-splitting Hook Method], and he should not press it.

He once asked Xiang Renjie "How far is Luoling", and Xiang Renjie always replied, "It's almost there".

Zheng Zhuo didn't know how fast it was. And Xiang Renjie only said that it was in the place where "the mountains converge and open slowly".

In other words, he didn't know it either, and it hadn't arrived yet.

On this day, Zheng Zhuo and Xiang Renjie saw curling smoke in the mountains. They spent another half day approaching it, and found that it was originally an Orion's hut.

Someone who has a cigarette can at least ask for a bowl of hot water. Zheng Zhuo knocked on the door with this thought.

Knock knock.

Squeak.

A bearded hunter pushed the door open. This man is an old smoking gun, hanging a pipe, and smoking it with a click.

The taste was very rushed, but Xiang Renjie's face did not change. He and Yan asked Orion for some hot water and shared it with Zheng Zhuo.

"Thank you, big brother." Xiang Renjie hugged his fists.

Zheng Zhuo also clenched his fists in the same way. However, he raised his head again and asked one more question:

"Big brother, Na Luoling...... In what direction? How far is it going? ”

Orion tapped on the cigarette stick and pointed due north.

"Ten more days due north. Or ......"

He also pointed to the north-west and north-east.

"There are many thorns in the northwest. Only wild beasts will pass through there, and ordinary people will not be able to enter. But if you can get through, you can get there in five days. ”

"There are deep mountains and chasms in the northeast, and there is heavy fog inside, and it is easy to get lost in twists and turns. Locals walk occasionally. If you're lucky, you'll be able to get through it in two days, and if you're unlucky, it's not uncommon to be trapped inside for twenty days. ”

……
