"Didn't you think that you two elders couldn't see it and didn't worry about it?" Li Shucheng said with a smile, "Besides, we also have something to do outside, right?" Daddy, look at what I brought back for you!" Li Shucheng carried a big bag in his hand and lifted it up, and inside was a tiger skin and a bear skin.

Li Yu saw Li Shucheng carrying a big burden and signaled, and he didn't care what was inside, no matter how good the gift was, it couldn't eliminate his anger.

But Jiang Mingyue is better than Li Shucheng, and after saluting Li Yu and his father, he immediately stepped forward to help Li Chen, whispering, and coaxing the old lady to be happy in a few words. Mr. Jiang saw that his daughter got along well with Li Chen, and a happy smile appeared on his face. He has only one daughter, and if her daughter is doing well, everything will be fine.

Although it was late autumn, the weather was not cool, so I talked in the gazebo. Li Shucheng put the big package on the table in the middle, opened it and said, "This is a tiger skin and a bear skin, and there is not a single hole in the skin." In addition, this season, such fur is rare. ”

When my father and father-in-law heard that it was a tiger skin and a bear skin, they grabbed it in their hands and looked at it over and over again, and they were reluctant to put it down. Such a grade of tiger skin and bear skin may not be available to everyone who has a high status.

After briefly talking to the third elder about the journey for more than a year, he was able to get out and go to the bath and rest. Li Chen doesn't like children to fight, listening to Li Shucheng say that they have only done it once in more than a year, and they still beat bad people to save people, they are very satisfied, and they raised their hands to let the two go.

"Hey, the virtuous nephew is back!" The next day Li Shucheng visited Guiyunzhuang, and Lu Chengfeng smiled when he saw Li Shucheng.

"It's back. Thank you Uncle Lu for this year. Li Shucheng solemnly thanked him. Li Shucheng and Jiang Mingyue have been out for more than a year or nearly two years, and only Lu Chengfeng's family often comes to visit and talk to the three old people.

"What is there to thank, I am friends with your father. Lu Chengfeng smiled, "How is it? I feel that your martial arts have improved again during this time." ”

"Uncle Lu, you can feel it yourself. Li Shucheng said, "By now, it is impossible to break through the progress of martial arts as easily as before, and what is needed now is a long-term accumulation." "A few years ago, Lu Chengfeng had already opened up the sixth Qi Jing and eight veins, so Li Shucheng was not afraid that Lu Chengfeng would not know.

"Having said that, there is still a difference in cultivation speed. Lu Chengfeng sighed, "Your current cultivation speed is already very fast, and the time it takes is much less than that of others. "Li Shucheng cultivates Quanzhen Internal Strength, and the cultivation speed of Quanzhen Internal Strength is notoriously slow, even if the speed is mentioned in the later stage, it is much slower than other internal strengths. However, now Li Shucheng's cultivation speed is not slower than him, or even faster than him, which is why he can't help but admire.

When Lu Guanying and his wife finished practicing martial arts, Li Shucheng and Lu Chengfeng were exchanging experiences. "Brother Shucheng, you're back. Lu Guanying asked, "Is there anything interesting about being away for such a long time?" Walking the rivers and lakes, he only had one time, that is, he went to Jiaxing, and met Cheng Yaojia by chance This time, but the time is short, the distance is short, and it is not very interesting.

"There's really no fun. Li Shucheng said, "We haven't been in contact with the people of the rivers and lakes along the way, and we haven't seen a few people in the rivers and lakes for more than a year, and we really haven't encountered anything interesting." ”

"Virtuous nephew, I'm also very strange, you have been out for more than a year, why is there no news of the two of you on the rivers and lakes?" Lu Chengfeng said. He knew that after Li Shucheng and the two went out, he inquired about the news of the two on the rivers and lakes, but there was no news at all.

"We didn't walk on the rivers and lakes. Li Shucheng said with a smile, "After leaving home, we went to Jinghu South Road, then went north to Jinghu North Road, Henan, Guanzhong, and then went northeast to Guanwai to Changbai Mountain." ”

"Go to Guanwai?" Lu Guanying asked, "Do you want to pick ginseng?" "The most famous thing outside Guanwai is ginseng. Ginseng has a benefit to the cultivation of martial arts, so Lu Guanying asked.

"I bought a dozen ginsengs, and when I got home, there were only three left. Li Shucheng said with a smile, "We went to Guanwai this time, and we were looking for tigers all the way." ”

"Looking for a tiger?" Lu Chengfeng asked suspiciously. He didn't think that Li Shucheng was looking for tigers to hunt tigers.

"Yes, we've been watching the tigers and watching their every move. Li Shucheng said.

"Observe the tiger, do you want to practice martial arts related to the tiger?" Lu Chengfeng asked. There are a lot of martial arts related to tigers on the rivers and lakes, but in his opinion, there are no martial arts worthy of Li Shucheng's practice.

"Yes. We came up with a way to exercise the gut through sound. Li Shucheng said, "Isn't the tiger strong in the bones, so we will look for the tiger and observe it carefully." ”

"Exercise the internal organs?" Lu Chengfeng said, "How is the method?" In his opinion, the internal organs do not need to be specially exercised, as the internal organs become deeper and deeper, the internal organs will naturally become stronger under the nourishment of the internal strength. However, he was also curious if Li Shucheng had summed up the method.

"It's always hard to do something like this to create martial arts. Li Shucheng sighed, "We have summarized the experiment through a year of observation, and it has only had a slight effect. If you want to really summarize a set of methods, it is not possible to achieve it in a short time. ”

At noon, he discussed with Lu Guanying for a while, and explained his cultivation experience to Cheng Yaojia for a while, and Li Shucheng said goodbye and left.

The human brain is very strange, living at home all the time, getting used to everything at home, and feeling that home is like this. When you go home again after a long time away, you will feel different about home, which is similar to the so-called small bie sheng newlywed.

At home and outside, they all practice martial arts in the same way, and they are good at diligence and ridiculous, and they must persevere in practicing martial arts in order to reach a higher level. Li Shucheng and Jiang Mingyue sorted out what they had learned, replanned their cultivation plan, and decided to reduce their external cultivation and use the freed up time to improve their physical fitness.

Although there is almost no progress in contemplation now, it must be cultivated. Cultivating the concept of thought, the two came to a conclusion: every time there is a breakthrough in internal strength, the cultivation speed of the concept will be accelerated a little, and the deeper the internal strength, the faster the cultivation. Internal strength is equally important, it can improve physical fitness and contemplative cultivation, and it is also a guarantee of force. The horse step pile also improves physical fitness, regulates the body, and is still effective. These three things must be cultivated, plus an external skill to protect oneself, Li Shucheng chose the first sword of Quanzhen, and Jiang Mingyue is still the third sword. Then spend an hour a day studying the method of Haw Par Lei Yin.

In addition, things like the Dragon City Sword Technique, Shen Combined Finger, Light Gong and even the Study of the Dao Sutra will not take a lot of time to cultivate, just use it every once in a while so as not to forget it.

Li Shucheng and Jiang Mingyue practiced according to the plan, and after a few days of getting used to it, they could have time to relax after practicing, play the piano and sing, and go out. Although there has been no special progress in the past few months, my body and mind are very comfortable, and I don't have the faint feeling of exhaustion before. Being able to feel comfortable is a better way in Li Shucheng's opinion. People are not steel, and being under the pressure of exhaustion for a long time will give birth to a lot of negative emotions, which is not conducive to their own development and progress.

"Tut-tut! The two little guys are so bold! Don't you avoid people in broad daylight?" Li Shucheng was hugging Jiang Mingyue and kissing him, and a ridiculous voice came from the side, full of anger and a sense of vicissitudes of old age.

Li Shucheng and Jiang Mingyue quickly separated, and looked at the place where the sound came from, and there were tree trunks and shrubs in their eyes, and there was no one in sight. "Master!" Li Shucheng was shocked, and pulled out his long sword with a snort, exercising his skills on guard, and at the same time he felt a sense of familiarity with this voice in his heart.

"I'm sure I've heard that. Li Shucheng muttered in his heart, and his mind spun quickly, "If you can let me and Mingyue not notice it at all, at least we are the top masters." There are only a few top masters in the rivers and lakes, and they are definitely not Ouyang Feng, nor Huang Yaoshi, nor are they old naughty boys. Nandi has never seen it, Qiu Qianren is not so old, and the only thing left is Hong Qigong. ”

Thinking of this, Li Shucheng was sure in his heart and shouted: "Seventh Prince, don't fool us with your old man, come out." ”

"Hey, you kid can still hear the old flowers. A voice sounded above his head, Li Shucheng looked up, and Hong Qigong floated down, "Not bad, I didn't expect to see you for a few years, your kid's martial arts have come to this point!"

"The Seven Princes praised it, and I would like to thank the Seven Princes for their guidance. Li Shucheng returned the long sword to the sheath and bowed his hand.

"It's your own struggle, otherwise you will always be impatient to point out. Hong Qigong took the gourd from his body, pulled off the stopper and took a sip before saying.

"Mingyue greets the Seventh Prince. Jiang Mingyue also stepped forward to salute.

"Excuse me. Oh, are you two married?" Hong Qigong saw Jiang Mingyue combing the woman's hair in a bun and said, "I didn't see you last time." ”

"The last time I saw Qigong was in Yanyu Building, it's been four or five years. Li Shucheng said with a smile.

"Yes, it's been four or five years, and it's strange that you haven't gotten married. Hong Qigong sighed.

"Why is the senior here?" asked Li Shucheng.

"The old man called Hua just came out of the palace, and remembered that your kid said that you live around here, so I came to have a look. Hong Qigong said.

"Your old man went to the imperial dining room to satisfy his hunger again?" Li Shucheng said, "But according to my estimate, there are also masters in the palace, have you ever encountered it?"

"Of course I do. Hong Qigong said with a smile, "There are two masters in the palace, but they are protecting the inner palace and the emperor, and for the imperial dining room, even if I eat all the dishes inside, they won't care." ”

"It's really a master to protect it. Li Shucheng said.

"Of course there is someone to protect, otherwise the Jin Kingdom would have sent a master to assassinate the emperor back then. As soon as the emperor died, the court was in chaos, and the Jin soldiers took the opportunity to move south, and they would soon be able to capture the Great Song Dynasty. Hong Qigong said.

Although it is only the death of an emperor, but this is an assassination, from top to bottom people are panicking, this is an army to take the opportunity to attack, and a huge country will collapse as easily as a tower made of sand.
