Thirty days have passed since I left Murong Zhi to inquire about information, and I have been in the small black house for more than twenty days.

The clock has entered the hot June day.

I miss Murong Zhi more and more. It was not easy to restrain yourself from leaving the little dark room to look for her immediately.

After entering the state of the living dead, I often analyze how she would have behaved without hearing from me for half a month.

Has Murong Zhi already infiltrated Shunshui Town, and then tried to find me?

We are both worldly Confucianists and unsupported, rarely restrained pirates.

I was able to live in peace with Wang Qinian.

Murong Zhi may also adopt the method of killing people and pretending to enter the town.

- Actually, I also had such thoughts when I was exploring the path, but the friendliness and enthusiasm of Wang Mang and Wang Jing made me give up that path.

Several times my distraction and aphasia were almost discovered by Wang Qinian, but fortunately, I covered them up later.

However, my experience of more than 20 days in the little black house was not in vain

- What I said was not only that I learned some powerful martial arts and the use of qi, but that I gained Wang Qinian's trust.

The most royal way for the party to escape from prison is to gain the trust of the prison administrator.

In the past 20 days or so, I have been playing the role of a disciple who humbly seeks advice and practices hard, as if with loyalty to my compatriots in Shunshui Town and bitter hatred for monsters, I have consistently hit the ancient tree with my fists every day - this is a way to test the power of the dragon palm.

The thousand-pound boulder that once blocked the exit of the small black house was removed by Wang Qinian, and he no longer came to monitor me every day.

Wang Qinian's military affairs began to get busy again, and we only met once in three or five days.

I now have a great deal of freedom to leave whenever I want.

But Wang Qinian and I have a gentleman's agreement - I can only appear in Shunshui Town after assassinating monsters, and I can only take refuge in the no-man's land where Wang Qinian has confirmed that there is no enemy situation at other times.

Because the plan to assassinate the monster was a top-secret plan planned by Wang Qinian and his younger brother Wang Qitai, he hoped that the participants and insiders would be limited to people with ten fingers - the Baiyun natives would send spies to the South Island side, and the townspeople of Shunshui had many big mouths.

The sages of Confucianism said: A gentleman can be deceived in a way.

Even though I was born as a pirate, Wang Qinian taught me martial arts, and I didn't want to deceive him.

So this agreement framed me and made me very distressed.

The place where I am free now is in the dense forest ten miles away from the small black house—the ancient trees here are dense, and the smaller trees need to be hugged by five people, which is just right for me to test my newly learned dragon palm.

It took me six or seven days to heal my wounded finger with the finest golden gun medicine, and the damage no longer left any obvious sequelae on my strong heart.

Wang Qinian said that the four foundation-building martial artists under his command were all taught by him in the realm of internal strength, but their comprehension was far from being comparable to mine. He needed to demonstrate at least a hundred palm changes before they could find their way into this martial art.

And in my "game" with Wang Qinian, I have been able to explore some of the changes in rigidity and softness discussed in the dragon palm.

He only showed me the fifteen basic changes of the Descending Dragon Palm, and the rest was left to me to explore by myself in the study - there is no end to the combinations and changes of the Descending Dragon Palm.

Speaking of understanding, this kind of thing can be encountered but not sought. Martial artists select the seedlings of martial arts to first look at the root bones, those children who have been strong and tall since childhood have a lot of hope for success in external success, but after they reach the realm of internal strength, whether they can move forward to a higher and deeper realm is all unknown. In our time, it is possible to build a foundation for years of life, but without enlightenment, it is impossible to have a relationship with Jindan.

Could it be that I'm really a genius?!

Hahaha.

I'm so sorry to make everyone laugh.

......

The Dragon Descending Palm encompasses the four states of rigidity, softness, neutrality, and absoluteness, and teaches martial artists how to exert their qi as ideally as possible in actual combat.

A person's qi is not a fixed value like a mechanical meter, but fluctuates up and down on a horizontal line, just like the waxing and waning of the moon and the rise and fall of the tide, rising and falling under the influence of the right time and place and one's own state of mind.

The same is true for the state in actual combat. Mature masters are able to try to stabilize themselves at a higher state, while inexperienced warriors go up and down.

The Dragon Descending Palm not only helps the practitioner to stand firm on a higher energy platform, but also instructs the martial artist on how to perform as normally or even at a higher level in actual combat as possible.

The state of the "living dead" that I practiced for many days in the small black house was actually close to complete "absolute", and Wang Qinian invented the exercise program "Guan Xiao Hei Hu" to help practitioners quickly master the trick of "absolute" in a desperate situation.

The normal training path is a step-by-step transition from the practitioner's spontaneous emanation of qi to the vegetative state of the "living dead".

Wang Qinian reversed this process, and I started practicing directly from the state of the "living dead", first learning to sit and lie down as the "living dead", and then learning to act as the "living dead". The rest of the different "absolute" only needs to relax the suppression of qi in the state of the "living dead" a little, just like the transformation from a plant to an animal.

The exercises of "rigidity" and "softness" are both tree beating on the surface, but the method of beating trees is different.

The "rigid" tree-beating exercise is called "walking on the tiger's tail", and the "soft" tree-beating exercise is called "Kanglong has regrets".

If you use the "rigidity" of the straight line to release all the qi without reservation, it is called "walking on the tiger's tail". The name comes from the epigram of "Yi 61 Hexagram", walking on the tail of a tiger without being eaten by the tiger's rage, which requires a high degree of concentration. Harnessing the strongest force you can unleash while dissolving the burden you bear is a dangerous attempt like stepping on a tiger's tail.

At the pinnacle of external strength, a straight punch with all my strength could probably break a tree surrounded by a person, and then the fist was swollen.

When I was at the beginning of the internal strength, I was able to break a tree around the two people with a straight punch with all my strength, and the qi of the internal strength strengthened and amplified the power of the fist that I had tempered in the realm of external strength.

The big tree surrounded by five people is already very terrifying, although Baiyun Township is hotter than the Central Plains, and the trees are sparse, but how to say that the tree that interrupts the five-person circle also needs dozens of times the strength of interrupting the tree surrounded by one person.

"Walking on the Tiger Tail" not only concentrates the "Rigid" on a line and a point, not only exerts the ninety percent of the martial artist's own strength to attack, but also excavates the martial artist's new qi in this punch to bless this punch. In fact, the qi of the person who was beaten was a blow that exceeded the strength of the warrior by more than 10%.

Where does the new gas come from?

Just as Wang Qinian guided me to generate new qi in the hand, "Walking on the Tiger's Tail" will transform the martial artist's external skills into new qi under the pressure of practice and actual combat, just like using drilling to mine minerals deeper underground and seabed.

With such a strong blow, if the practitioner does not have a sufficiently good foundation in external skills, he will do his best to catch fish, which will only cause blood and qi exhaustion and death.

But my situation is different: like Wang Qinian when he was fighting, I repeatedly practiced "walking on the tiger's tail", and developed the essence of my father's easy muscle washing in large quantities and quickly. If in the past my practice was like using a pickaxe to tap potential, now I use dynamite to blast potential.

Although I don't have the same pressure as in actual combat, this kind of practice can also help me consolidate the middle level of internal strength that I reached not long ago, and I think that in three months, I may really be able to reach the upper level of internal strength, and I may be able to hit the foundation building in mid-September.

In just a few days, my qi volume has expanded by five or six times, which is even more effective than taking pills!

Now I have played a good "Tiger Tail" just punch, which can punch a hole half a deep arm span in the big tree surrounded by five people!

However, when it comes to smashing the stone wall of the small black house, it will be after the foundation realm is built, and compared to the current qi, I will expand the amount by more than ten times.

Now, of course, I have other ways to break the trees around the perimeter.

This is the practice of "remorse".

The first time I touched the tree, I still used a straight line of rigid fists, but after the contact was completed, I needed to use the "medium" to convert the "rigid" strength of the straight line into a spiral "soft" in one breath, and the soft strength would twist and destroy the inside of the tree, and then use the weaker rigid fist to break the trees around the five sides.

The name of "Kang Long has regrets" comes from the last line of "Yi 61 Qiangua", just beyond the apex, and then move forward will only lead to ruin, the gentleman will change his own method when he is at the end of the road, poor will change, change will pass, and the ultimate just after giving birth to the ultimate softness.

In fact, "Kang Long has regrets" is the first palm when the dragon palm was founded, and it has the basic use of the three qi of rigidity, softness and neutrality.

——After more than 20 days of practice, my experience is that in today's era, the role of the dragon palm in consolidating and improving the ability of martial artists is stronger than actual combat.

The expansion of qi, the clever use of qi, and solid basic skills have immeasurable effects on the power increase of actual combat blades, and can even increase the effect of spells

- Even spells need to consume energy, and in essence, spells use qi in a more subtle way with thoughts.

If the purpose is really to cut down trees, I can cut the tree directly with the low-grade sword in the middle of the internal strength, and the incision is more neat than my softness (although the lower-grade sword is full of cracks now, it can still insist on the post, which is really a good material of Mithril.) ）

......

After another day of practice, I looked at the trees that I had repaired so badly, and I couldn't help but feel the urge to leave

It's already the thirtieth day, Wang Qinian's wariness of me has been lowered to the lowest, and my memory of Murong Zhi has risen to the highest.

Although I violated the agreement with Wang Qinian when I left this time, I had my own unavoidable reasons:

"Actually, I have a sister who came to this island with me. I deceived you before.

Because a woman's life is as cheap as an animal in troubled times, I am not willing to disclose the situation to you lightly for the sake of my family's safety before I have the character of trusting strangers. It's been almost a month now, and I'm worried about my sister's accident, so I have to take a break and wait until I find my sister on the island to meet you. If you are angry, I will punish you. But don't kill or cripple me, I still want to leave a useful body and kill the monster that harmed everyone for the people of Shunshui Town. ”

- The above is my parting words in the process.

Of course, Murong Zhi is by no means a woman who is unable to move an inch in the troubled times, I think she can survive even in the demon pile. But unconsciously, the concern is like a sprout growing into a vine, and I want to be with her from beginning to end.

I don't know if she still remembers me.

- Maybe Murong Zhi may not remember me.

I think I'm making a fool of myself.

After all, people are still busy with the "business" of reviving Dayan.

In any case, I want to learn from the actions of those Confucian gentlemen, and leave a note explaining the situation for Wang Qinian in the small dark room.

......

The dense forest where I practiced was ten miles away from the small black house in a straight line, but I would deliberately take different tortuous routes between the two o'clock and sneak through the grass.

Wang Qinian told me that before the Chinese people arrived in Baiyun Township, the natives only entered the no-man's land during the annual blood sacrifice, which was a sacred mountain that they could not desecrate. But after several wars between us and them, it seems that they have been tacitly approved by the monsters (for the natives, they are mountain gods), and they can pass through the no-man's land when performing various military affairs.

In the past year, Aung San's martial arts have entered the country again. The spies in Shunshui Township who were bribed by the natives provided information that Aung San Baohui was also preparing to make some moves this year. On the surface, the battle line seems to be so quiet that it is difficult to see, but in the past year, there have been many spies and confrontations between the two sides.

Baiyun Township is divided into three parts, which are originally inherently contradictory. Because of the advent of the people of Shunshui Town, the three departments were temporarily united. However, after a long truce, we were dissatisfied with the fact that Aung San was sitting on the other two and secretly exchanged songs with Shunshui Town, so we continued to obtain information on the North Island.

It was difficult for the Aung San tribe to recruit spies from the united town of Shunshui, but their sentinels were able to enter the rear of the South Island with the military support of Aung San Bao Yan to capture soldiers and townspeople to torture and extract information.

- No matter how you say that this is an area infested with monsters, and the indigenous sentinels sometimes come here, it is not wrong to be careful and hidden.

The sun was sinking in the west, and I heard an unfamiliar voice as I approached the small black house, and I instinctively plunged into the grass that was higher than the human being, entered a deep state of "absoluteness", and then slowly crawled forward to ten feet outside the small black house.

- The small black house was still discovered by the Baiyun natives.

They are the same as the superficial narration, and the color of their skin and hair is very close to that of us Chinese.

By the light of the stars, I saw two indigenous warriors wearing rattan armor and bone spears that were indistinguishable from those of the Chinese, and the military emblem was also deliberately modeled after the Chinese.

But their conversations reveal their identities.

I still remember Murong Zhi urging me to speed up my elementary indigenous spoken language.

I pricked up my ears to listen, and I could roughly understand what they were saying.

The two warriors were discussing the top of the sacred mountain and discovered the secret stronghold of the Huaxia people, and the last time they destroyed a stronghold in the no-man's land was a year ago.

(In the same year as Wang Qinian's prediction, the average time for a secret stronghold is one year, and it must be transferred after one year.) ）

Then they began to discuss the aboriginal blood sacrifice on October 15:

"This year, the blood sacrifice mountain god has increased the number of boys and girls to eighteen. It's hateful, you can't capture the children of the Chinese people to act. ”

The first stout samurai scolded while guarding the surroundings of the black room.

"Every year, the blood sacrifice is made by the three tribes in turn, and this year it is your turn to be in the Jinsha Department, what is there to resent? If it were not for the blessing of the mountain gods, how could our northern island be in good weather? How should the tribal alliance resist the attack of the Huaxia people? Compared with the well-being of hundreds of thousands of people in the entire clan, the sacrifice of eighteen pairs of boys and girls a year is negligible. ”

The second tall and thin native warrior seemed to have finished searching the small black room, and he came out of it, retorted the fat man's words, and then added,

"Good news for you: Aung San has negotiated with the mountain god that this year, there will be eighteen pairs of boys and girls, and one pair can be chosen from among the Chinese people. If the mountain god thinks that the taste is good, the Chinese people will be used in human sacrifices in the future. ”

"I can't imagine that Aung San Bao Yan still cares about the hearts of our Jinsha tribe. ”

"Lord Aung San is not a man who covets the power of the tribal alliance, and those bad terms are all promoted by a group of old men in Aung San's ministry in his name. This time, he tried to use a pair of Chinese boys and women as human sacrifices, and Aung San, with the consciousness that he would be punished by the mountain god, gambled on one of his arms to intercede with the mountain god. ”

These two warriors naturally exude the aura of the foundation realm, and they should be the spearhead soldiers sent by Aung San Baoyan to spy on our South Island.

They really haven't gone through the systematic martial arts inheritance, and such an obvious qi is like a lantern in the dark for me who has mastered the trick of using qi.

- Naturally, the qi naturally emitted by a warrior is proportional to the scale of his qi, and the divine dragon and the ant are clearly distinguished.

However, after systematic training, masters can use the "absolute" of different Cheng dù to disguise, suppress and store their own qi.

The four generals I met in the barracks were deliberately angry with me for the purpose of demonstrating to me.

No one would be so stupid as to be a sentry spy infiltrating the enemy and still expose his own anger.

The IQ of the natives is not low.

The answer is simple: the natives are not willing to hide their anger, but they can't.

There is no foundation of qi, but they don't know how to use it, but they don't have two elephants with wisdom (wise elephant, please forgive me, you at least know how to fight and escape with your huge size).

- Let me defeat them, which is a thank you gift for me and Wang Qinian to say goodbye for a short time.

In the middle level of internal strength, I want to use the newly learned dragon descending palm to kill these two indigenous foundation building warriors.
