Chu Xiqing hurriedly put away the booklet and qi practice method in his hand, straightened his clothes, opened the door, and said with a smile: "Sister Chen Jin, what's the matter?" ”

Chen Jin raised his eyebrows, "Well, Mr. Xueshu said that he was going to school tomorrow." ”

Chu Xiqing subconsciously said: "Ah, I'm going to go again." ”

"Well, even if the son has been resting for three days today, it's time to go." Chen Jin looked at Chu Xiqing and said.

"Oh, okay, I'll be ready. Hehe. Sister Chen, go get busy. Chu Xiqing nodded and smiled.

Chen Jin glanced at Chu Xiqing strangely and left.

Watching Chen Jin leave, Chu Xiqing lowered his head and let out a long breath, then raised his head and smiled: "Haha, with qi to control things, I'm here!" ”

On the bank of a river somewhere in Anchang Town, a young man in Tsing Yi leans against a tree with a book, the water surface is sparkling, the breeze blows the river surface, and the picture is quiet and beautiful.

"Oh, that's the case, use qi as an artifact." Chu Xiqing muttered to himself.

"Good!" Closing the book and throwing it on the ground, Chu Xiqing rubbed his hands and prepared to practice.

Look around, starting with the leaves.

Chu Xiqing held the leaves with his hands, and a wisp of qi appeared in his palm and applied it to the leaves.

It's moving! Chu Xiqing's eyes lit up, and his heart was ecstatic.

The breeze swept Chu Xiqing's cheeks, raised a few strands of hair on his sideburns, and fell to the ground with the wind, including the leaves and Chu Xiqing's excitement.

"Shhhh "Is it too little?"

Picking up the leaves again, there was a sudden gush of air enveloping the leaves, and the leaves did move, very intensely, not listening to the tremors, and having no direction to speak of.

Suddenly, the leaves could not withstand the pull of the air from all directions and were torn to pieces.

Chu Xiqing looked at the broken leaves in his palm, couldn't help frowning, and muttered: "No, you have to control the amount of qi applied, not more, not less."

The third attempt, on Chinese New Year's Eve, simply squat directly on the ground, pick up a leaf between two fingers, slowly apply qi, and let it accumulate in one place, so that it is easier to control.

Release your fingers and a leaf will hang in the air, up and down.

Chu Xiqing grinned and secretly rejoiced: "Haha, I'm really amazing!"

Then he drove the leaves to move in six directions, not fast, but finally succeeded.

With a long breath, the tense nerves relaxed. Shicai has been preoccupied with controlling his breath, and sometimes he even holds his breath unconsciously.

Chu Xiqing was full of confidence, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help rising. "The leaves are still too simple, change the focus, huh...... This stone is good. ”

Walked to the bank of the river and picked up a stone. The stone is perennially contaminated with moisture and has a layer of moss attached to it.

Holding it in his palm, he used his qi to control it to rise slowly, this stone was much heavier than the leaves, and Chu Xiqing was obviously a little struggling.

The stone hovered in front of Chu Xiqing, and in a blink of an eye, he saw the big tree on the side, "If you throw it out like this, how powerful can it be?" ”

Suddenly mobilized his qi and wrapped the stone and threw it at the tree.

"Boom." The sound it makes after encountering it is dull, it's really not too loud, and it's really not very powerful.

Chu Xiqing was a little disappointed, alas, he could only practice more.

After taking two steps to retrieve the stone, there was a sound from behind the tree, and a man leaned out halfway.

"Ahh Chu Xiqing exclaimed in a low voice, and was so frightened that he took a step back.

Looking at each other, Chu Xiqing found that it was a little girl, and the air froze for a while.

"When did she come?" Chu Xiqing was shocked, "She won't see it, will she?" No way? ”

I was about to say something to ease the atmosphere, but I heard the other side ask, "How did you make the stone fly just now?"

Chu Xiqing "chuckled" in her heart, "It's over, she saw it." For a while, I thought of the "murder and extermination" in those romance novels.

Hurriedly shook his head, pondering how to fool the past, and sent a perfect step on the opposite side: "Are you doing tricks, I've seen people change before."

Chu Xiqing looked flustered, but smiled brightly: "Ah...... Uh-huh, yes, I've learned from people, haha. ”

The little girl walked out from behind the tree, dressed in a red dress, which was dazzling, she picked up the stone and handed it to Chu Xiqing.

Chu Xiqing stretched out his hand and thanked him. During the period, I looked at the little girl, who was quite young, with fair skin, beautiful eyebrows, and a touch of vertical red in the center of the main eyebrows.

It's pretty good. It's just too thin, well, a little short.

Chu Xiqing was a little shy, and with a weak heart, his face suddenly turned a little red.

"Uh, that...... Little sister, what are you doing here? Chu Xiqing asked.

The little girl blinked her eyes wide, but instead of answering, she asked, "How old are you?"

Chu Xiqing replied puzzledly: "Fourteen."

The little girl smiled and said, "I'm also fourteen, but I'm not a sister, I have a name, my name is Cao Shu." My house is in front, and I usually take this road. ”

Chu Xiqing was surprised, fourteen, why is it such a small one.

"What about you? What's your name? The little girl asked.

"My name is Chu Xiqing."

The little girl chanted "Chu Xiqing" twice, and then Hao Yan said, "How do you write the words?"

Chu Xiqing looked around and found that there was no place to write, so he could only depict it in the air.

After writing it, looking at Cao Shu's appearance, obviously not understanding, Chu Xiqing scratched his head in embarrassment.

Cao Shu shook her head and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, I'll go to school soon, I'll learn."

Chu Xiqing smiled "haha", thinking in his heart that he should leave quickly.

But the little girl obviously didn't want to leave for a while.

Cao Shu said with anticipation on her face: "Chu Xiqing, can you perform the one just now again?"

Chu Xiqing's face was embarrassed, but he couldn't stand the big eyes that kept staring at him, so he could only reluctantly agree.

Chu Xiqing put the stone in the palm of his hand and manipulated the stone to rise with qi, and Cao Shu, who was staring at it on the side, couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

Cao Shu stretched out her hand to find out if there was anything between the stone and Chu Xiqing's hand, but she was even more surprised when she found that there was none.

Cao Shu asked excitedly: "You... How do you do that? ”

Chu Xiqing pretended to cough and said, "I can't tell you this."

Cao Shu nodded in understanding.

The sun was setting in the west, and Cao Shu remembered what to do here, so she said, "Will you come here again in the future?"

Chu Xiqing thought about it, nodded and said that he would come.

"Okay, goodbye." After speaking, Cao Shu turned around and left.

"Eh! Wait, don't mention this to anyone today!" Chu Xiqing called Cao Shu. "Okay."

Watching Cao Shu leave, Chu Xiqing silently recited Cao Shu twice.

Suddenly feeling a little bored, looking at the river that was shining in the golden light in the afternoon, Chu Xiqing had an idea.

When he came to the shore, Chu Xiqing opened his palm to the river, and the qi entered the water, reflecting the strange feeling that gave him, and the next moment, he controlled the qi to wrap a ball of water up, which was really like a tool.

A cloud of water hung in his palm, constantly changing shape with the qi, meandering or fixed.

After relaxing, the ball of water fell into Chu Xiqing's hand, and then flowed to the ground. Chu Xiqing looked at it in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.

The little girl Cao Shu went to the alley where she used to live, and before the man came, this was all she had.

Ever since a few unfortunate people had died here, she had gone with the man, and had taken him as a teacher, and he had not said anything about what to learn.

Tell her to come back today and take what she wants, and she doesn't need to come back in the future.

Found a clay pot, opened with a silver hairpin, which seemed to be carved with a phoenix bird.

Clenched the hairpin in his hand, looked around, and was confused for a moment, but quickly became firm, walked out of the house, closed the door, and walked away without looking back.

When I passed by the river again, I found that Chu Xiqing had already left.

Through the streets and alleys, the sound of people is bustling, there are shouts to buy sugar gourds on the road, the little girl stopped and looked, last night the man's current master bought her a bunch, once thought how delicious, it turned out, the taste is average.

came to an inn called "Yuanlai Inn", and the master was the shopkeeper of this inn.

went up to the east wing on the second floor, during which the guys in the store would stop and say hello when they saw her.

"Knock knock!" Master, I'm back. Cao Shu knocked on the door.

"Come in." The voices of the people inside the door were clear and flat.

When I pushed the door in, I saw the master sitting at the desk reading a book.

The room is very ornately furnished, and there is a golden incense burner in front of the desk, and white smoke is wafting from it. There is a painting hanging on the wall, which reads "When the six flying flowers enter the house, sit and watch the green bamboo turn into Qiongzhi".

Cao Shu didn't know the words, but she felt that the words were really good-looking.

"Tomorrow the teacher will send you to the school, study hard, and read all the words." The man said without looking up.

The man was extremely handsome, and the long hair on his head was only tied up with a hairpin.

"Yes, don't worry, master, I will study hard." Cao Shu said respectfully.

In fact, I am still a little afraid of the man in front of me, after all, the picture last night was too bloody. Cao Shu still thinks about it, and still feels in a trance.

The man put down the book, stood up, looked at Cao Shu and said solemnly: "Cao Shu, you are my first disciple of Li Chu'an, I hope you will have the ability to succeed me in the future."

After hearing this, Cao Shu immediately cheered up.

"There is a kind of person in the world called a qi practitioner......

The afterglow of the setting sun shrouded the town, and Chu Xiqing wandered on the streets after practicing, worrying about the wooden sword.

In fact, he had an idea, that is, to ask Uncle Chen, a blacksmith in the town, to help make one, after all, Mother Chu and Blacksmith Chen's wife were friends. It's just that he doesn't want to trouble others.

After some ideological battles, Chu Xiqing still walked to the blacksmith shop with apprehension, and there was a clanging sound from the shop.

Blacksmith Chen noticed Chu Xiqing outside the door, stopped what he was doing, walked out and asked, "Xiqing, is there anything?"

Blacksmith Chen has a rough appearance and an urn voice, and Mother Chu has always felt that it is a great blessing for Blacksmith Chen to marry his wife.

Chu Xiqing hesitated and said, "Uncle Chen, can you help me make a wooden sword?" I can pay for it. ”

Blacksmith Chen laughed after hearing this, "It's just for this, no problem, I don't want your money, just let your mother say more good things for me on my mother-in-law's side, and come to get it tomorrow." ”

Chu Xiqing agreed with a smile and bent down to thank him.

Tomorrow I'm going to try to control the sword with qi.
