Li Wuchang decided to practice martial arts.

There is no way, Li Wuchang really doesn't want to be thrown to Jizhou by his father.

Over the years, the Khitan was ambitious, always attacking Dayan, Jizhou was attacked by the Khitan many times, and the Jizhou garrison fought many tough battles with it, with fewer wins and more losses.

This winter, snowstorms occurred in many places in Dayan, Jizhou was particularly serious, and the Khitan took the opportunity to take advantage of it, and the two counties of Liaodong and Liucheng in Jizhou have suffered no less than ten lootings this year, with countless casualties.

It's terrible that the lives are ruined, and the people are not able to make a living.

In addition to the Khitan, the Xiongnu, Goryeo, Tubo, Jiaozhi and other places are also ready to move, and Dayan no longer has the kind of hegemony that it had back then.

Li Wuchang ran into his room and took out a very thin booklet from the cabinet.

That was the entrance recipe of "Cangyan Jue", one of the Li family's family internal skills, and Li Wuchang was ready to start from scratch.

The Li family has two major internal skills, "Xuangang Jin" is the ancestor of the Li family, and "Cangyan Jue" is the ancestor of the Li family, Li Bochang, learned from the old man Yesang, both of which are superior fire exercises.

Not every child of the Li family is qualified to learn these two exercises, and only those who have good talent in the root bones can practice them.

"Xuangang Jin" is a defensive exercise, while "Cangyan Jue" is heavy on attack, and the outstanding children of the Li family can choose one to learn according to their own interests, but they must consider it carefully.

Internal strength is different from martial arts moves, people who practice martial arts can learn different martial arts moves, but can only practice one kind of internal strength, if you practice a variety of internal skills, it will cause different true qi conflicts and go crazy, the light will be broken meridians, and the heavy will be killed.

Just like when Li Bochang, the ancestor of the Li family, worshiped the old man Ye Sang, he wanted to practice "Cangyan Jue", but he also abolished his own family inheritance and started again.

Li Wuchang is extremely talented, and he is not qualified to practice these two exercises, but because he is the son of the patriarch Li Lingwu, he has gone through a back door, otherwise he can only practice other general internal skills.

Back then, Li Lingwu asked him what kind of mental method he liked, and Li Wuchang chose "Cangyan Jue" without hesitation, because his annoying second brother Li Wuxing practiced "Xuangang Jin".

According to the booklet, if you can feel the flow of true qi in your body and the circulation continues, you will be considered a beginner.

Li Wuchang opened the booklet, recalled the method taught by his master when he was a child, sat on the bed, took a pose, and practiced the technique of tuning according to the booklet, waiting for the opportunity.

After a long time, Li Wuchang felt a heat in the lower dantian of the lower abdomen, and a stream of heat started from the lower dantian and headed towards the tail, and then stopped abruptly, and there was no movement.

The booklet describes that if successful, the true qi will start from the lower dantian, march to the tail, until the top of the head Baihui, and then go down through the center of the eyebrows, the middle dantian in the chest, and finally return to the lower dantian in the lower abdomen, running for a week, it is considered to be completed, and then as long as you practice diligently, the true qi in the body will gradually increase, reaching the realm of endless life.

At this time, Li Wuchang obviously did not succeed.

Li Wuchang's heart moved, he had reached the realm of refining into qi through the technique of exhalation, and the heat flow in the lower abdomen was the evidence, but for some reason, the true qi stopped at the end of the lurd, and did not circulate.

"Is it because I'm not focused enough? Grandma, a bear, come again. ”

This is the first time Li Wuchang has practiced the Hall of Fame, how could he give up like this, so he moved his body slightly, re-posed his posture, closed his eyes, and practiced.

After a long time, the true qi was felt in the lower dantian, but just like last time, the true qi would stop at the end of the meeting, and no matter how hard Li Wuchang tried, he couldn't do it.

"Is it because I'm hurt? ”

Li Wuchang does not believe in evil, as if he has returned to the era of desperate medical studies in his previous life, and he will not stop until he reaches his goal.

As a result, it is a pity that Li Wuchang worked hard for an afternoon, but there was still no progress.

Li Wuchang really wanted to find a master to help him take a look, but when he thought that the master who ran away in anger before no longer paid attention to him, he was a little frustrated.

I thought of going to my father Li Lingwu again, but I didn't dare, let alone myself, even the eldest brother Li Wufeng had cultivated to the fifth grade before his father gave simple instructions.

"Forget it, it's better to wait a while, Aunt Yang will invite another master for herself. ”

Li Wuchang sat empty for an afternoon and decided to watch it in a few days, maybe it was because of the injury that affected his performance.

"Stunned, stunned, at home, I'm here. The voice sounded, Han Dazhi's voice.

Li Wuchang frowned.

This Han Dazhi just came here in the morning, why did he come again.

It's okay, ask Han Dazhi, he is also a second-grade master.

Oh, the second-grade master, Li Wuchang smiled, compared to himself, who has not yet started, the second-grade is of course a master.

Li Wuchang walked out of the room and found that the sky was getting dark, and Han Dazhi looked embarrassed.

"What's the matter, I'm practicing, and I was bluffed by your voice. Li Wuchang asked.

"You practice?" Han Dazhi looked puzzled.

"What's the matter, I can't practice anymore? I still have to participate in the martial arts conference in a few months, and my family commander has explained that if I can't pass three rounds, he will throw me to Jizhou to join the army. ”

"Ah, that's what Li Bo said? Damn, my father also told me that after three rounds, he would throw me to Jizhou to fight the Khitans. These two old men must have discussed it, it's over, the Khitans are not easy to mess with, it's really over now, you have to find a way to get through this level. Han Dazhi pulled his hair, extremely worried.

"You calm down first, isn't there still four months? We have practiced martial arts well and passed three rounds, you are also a second-grade, what should I do if I don't have a grade?" Li Wuchang said.

"What's the use of a few months, I've been practicing for more than ten years and I'm still a second-grade. Han Dazhi laughed to himself.

After a pause, he continued: "Besides, the second grade is also a round of goods, I have inquired, not counting those young masters in Chang'an City, there have been many masters from other places in the past few months, and they want to make a name for themselves in the martial arts conference, and several of them have a fight with your eldest brother." In addition, as soon as we grab a lot of four products and five products, it depends on how we survive the three rounds, maybe the first round will meet a five-product, and it will be over. ”

"The fourth or fifth rank is already a master, my eldest brother's level, he can go to be a saint's guard, are you mistaken, how can there be so many young masters?" Li Wuchang wondered.

Han Dazhi explained: "It's not that the Khitan has made trouble in recent years, they always invade Jizhou, so many people are holding back their strength to practice, and they all want to enter the martial arts, go into battle to kill the enemy, and fight for a good background, how can we have no ambitions." ”

"Nurse is a bear, these people just want to send them to death? Four or five products, it seems that it will be difficult to achieve it in a few months, and it will be difficult to do three rounds, I don't want to go to Jizhou, I guess I will go there, if I don't die, I have to shed my skin, stupid and young, what do you say we should do now?" Li Wuchang wanted to see if Han Dazhi had any way.

"That's what I'm here for. Han Dazhi's eyes rolled, and he looked around in a thief's head, and whispered: "Find a convenient place to talk, although your courtyard is secluded, but there are many masters in the Li Mansion, maybe you will eavesdrop, go to me." ”

Han Dazhi was mysterious, and he must have thought of some kind of idea.

Li Wuchang explained to the nurse that Han Dazhi had the best healing medicine at home, and now he was going to Han Mansion and would not come back for dinner, so he didn't tell the truth, for fear that the nurse would stop him.

Han Mansion, Han Dazhi's courtyard.

Li Wuchang opened his mouth and asked, "What kind of method did you think of, mysterious?"

Han Dazhi waved his hand, let all the little people who had prepared the wine and food go down, closed the door, and said, "Do you know who is presiding over the martial arts conference this time?" ”

Han Dazhi's Laozi Han Guang is currently the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, presiding over the martial arts conference, and his name is justified.

Li Wuchang made a gesture of continuation, waiting for the following.

Han Dazhi continued: "After each draw, the competition is held one day later, and I find a way to sneak the list, and then we will know our respective opponents. ”

Li Wuchang frowned and said, "Then what?"

"We can take advantage of this day to do a lot of things. Han Dazhi smiled evilly, and then said: "You can coerce and lure him in advance to abstain, if he refuses, we can secretly drug him and make him unable to participate in the competition." ”

"Wouldn't it be too despicable?" Li Wuchang had some scruples.

"It's inexplicable when you've become so soft-hearted. Han Dazhi muttered.

"Will the plan come out?" Li Wuchang shrugged his shoulders and smiled freely.

"If the opponent is a mover from outside Beijing, most of them have no background, and coercion and inducement will have a certain effect. If the opponent is a noble son in Beijing or a man with a background, coercion and temptation may not be easy, then we will find an opportunity to drugged, hehehe. Han Dazhi analyzed, and laughed evilly.

Li Wuxian saw him playing tricks one by one, and said strangely: "I said, everyone calls you Han Dasha, I think you should be called Han Dajing." ”

Han Dazhi put away his smile, sighed, and replied: "So what, the eldest lady of my family, on the surface, doesn't care about me, but secretly wants me to get into trouble, then it seems that my eldest brother is more capable." Hmph, if I'm really good, she doesn't know what will happen, it's better to be stupid, others won't pay attention to me, let alone hinder her eyes. ”

This guy is pretending to be stupid, and he really underestimated him before.

Li Wuchang tilted his head and looked at Han Dazhi, speechless for a while, and after a while, he asked: "Then what kind of medicine do we take, ordinary medicine doesn't work, you can't poison it, poison others." ”

Han Dazhi rummaged through the cabinets for a while, took out a small bottle, and said mysteriously: "Do you know what this is?" This is a good guy, it can make people unable to condense their true qi, think about it, if a person can't gather qi, hehehehe......"

Li Wuchang was pleasantly surprised: "There is such a good thing, where did it come from?"

"I stole it from my elders, I heard that it is a forbidden drug, and Emperor Taizu used it to fight more than two hundred years ago. After using it, I can't gather qi for several days, and the only drawback is that this medicine is useless for more than five grades, so we expect our opponents to be below five grades. Han Dazhi sighed, quite regretful.

There is such a miracle medicine, Li Wuchang smiled, took the medicine bottle, unscrewed it and saw that it was red powder, and frowned: "Why is it red, it is easy to reveal the filling, right?"

Han Dazhi smiled slightly, poured a bowl of water, and poured a little medicine powder into it, and the medicine powder quickly blended into the water, and there was no more red.

"Look, colorless and odorless. Han Dazhi handed the bowl to Li Wuchang.

Li Wuchang took the water, put it next to his nose and sniffed it carefully, there was nothing abnormal, and then he sniffed hard, and smelled a faint fragrance in the water, which was extremely weak, and he couldn't find it if he didn't feel it carefully.

This fragrance is a little familiar, Li Wuchang frowned, his face suddenly changed, and he remembered that he would smell this smell every few days.

Auntie's soup!

Every few days, the eldest lady will send the money housekeeper to send the tonic soup to herself, for the body, there is a strange aroma in the soup, which is exactly the same as the aroma in the bottle of medicine in her hand, it is all like that, very peculiar, Li Wuchang is absolutely not wrong, he has been smelling it for six or seven years.

Li Wuchang's face suddenly turned pale, and his whole body was cold, like falling into an ice cellar.

"Impossible, how can this be, this can't ......" Li Wuchang muttered to himself.

In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Li Wuchang's mind.

When he practiced kung fu when he was a child, he also had times when he worked very hard, but he couldn't practice his true qi, was it because of his aunt's soup, and was there this forbidden drug in the soup?

The Li family, like the Han family, were both founding fathers, so it is not surprising that there is this medicine.

When did the eldest lady start to give herself tonic soup? It seems that when she started practicing martial arts at the age of ten, every time she was personally given to herself by the money housekeeper, and she never bothered others.

Li Wuchang was an orphan in his previous life, he had experienced all kinds of human feelings, the world was hot and cold, and he never hesitated to speculate on others with the worst thoughts.

Is there any misunderstanding in all this?

"Hey, what do you want? Don't worry, this medicine is absolutely effective, I tried it secretly, it didn't go wrong, and it didn't hurt people's bodies, but I couldn't gather true qi for five or six days. Han Dazhi saw that Li Wuchang looked worried, and thought that he didn't believe in the effect of this medicine.

"Oh, I'm afraid we'll run into a five-grade master. Li Wuchang came to his senses and smiled reluctantly.

"I can only resign myself to fate, and you can be careful with me, don't say that I leak my mouth, this is a forbidden drug. Han Dazhi instructed.
