Chapter 33: Strength Soars
Gao Jie returned to Li's house, and after lunch, he sent Li Hongji and Li to the martial arts training ground to practice martial arts, and prepare for the family competition more than ten days later.
He himself was dragged by Cheng Dake and Xie Jun to the courtyard where they lived, and began to teach the secret method of opening a crossbow.
Among them, the smallest arm crossbow is to use the strength of both arms to pull the crossbow string on the bronze machine, and then shoot with arrows.
Ordinary people use it, it takes a while from pulling the string to shooting, but Chen Xie's mentor Cheng Zongyou created his own method of opening the crossbow, but it is ingenious, using a series of tricks such as wrist flipping, bending arm expansion and crossbow arrows, which greatly shortens the shooting time of the arm open crossbow.
Chen Dake practiced it once, it was really exquisite, and he completed the shooting in an instant, which opened Gao Jie's eyes and praised him.
Since Chen Dake and Xie Jun were already brothers to Gao Jie, they would not hide their secrets, so they began to teach him the method of opening the crossbow with his arm open.
Because this method pays attention to complex details such as arm coordination, hand-eye coordination, and turning bowls and bending arms, Chen Xie and the others thought that if Gao Jie wanted to master it preliminarily, it was estimated that it would take at least two days.
However...... Before the hour came, Gao Jie had mastered the essentials and pinned the feather arrow to the bull's-eye.
Seeing this, Xie Jun could no longer maintain the smile he always wore on his face, with the word "shocked" written all over his face, staring at Gao Jie like a monster.
And Chen Dake grabbed Gao Jie's shoulders with both hands, and shouted in surprise and joy: "My mother, Xiaojie, are you still a person?"
Gao Jie bared his teeth and shouted at Chen Dake: "Brother Chen, what do you want to arrest me to death?!
Chen Dake realized that he was too excited, and hurriedly let go of Gao Jie's shoulder, scratching his head and laughing dryly, his already red face became more and more crimson.
Xie Jun blinked his thin eyes and said suspiciously: "Could it be that Xiaojie knew this before?"
Gao Jie shook his head innocently.
Xie Jun nodded, and then suddenly shouted with deep sympathy: "Xiaojie, you are definitely not a human, you are a genius!"
Gao Jie sneered: "The two eldest brothers overreacted, and they also won awards for Xiaojie in their words. However, a lot of people say I'm a genius!"
Chen Dake and Xie Jun were stunned when they heard this, and then laughed.
Excited, Xie Jun immediately took the knee crossbow and the foot crossbow and began to teach the secret method.
Whether in ancient or modern times, once a teacher finds out that a student is a genius, he can't help but be impatient, and he can't wait to teach his full knowledge to the students, so that the students are better than the blue.
At this moment, Chen Dake and Xie Jun are in this state.
The arm tension crossbow is a weak crossbow, while the knee tension crossbow and the foot tension crossbow are both strong crossbows, which are crossbows that use the strength of the arm combined with the knee and foot to open the bow.
The knee-tension method of the crossbow is the knee-mounted crossbow, which is much more difficult than the crossbow on the arms, while the foot-tension crossbow requires the foot end of the crossbow, which is the most difficult way to draw the bow.
Of course, it is difficult to say that it is for ordinary people, and Gao Jie is obviously an alternative.
So, an hour and a half later, after watching Gao Jie skillfully use three kinds of crossbows and shoot them in turn with great speed, Chen Dake and Xie Jun were already confused and speechless.
If they hadn't known that Gao Jie already had an unfathomable master, the two would have directly brought this genius to Cheng Zongyou and turned him into their junior brother.
After Gao Jieshi finished shooting, he was very satisfied with his masterpiece. Then he looked at Chen Xie and the others, who were still standing, and said with a smile: "Thank you to the two bosses, professors, Xiaojie went back to the room to rest first." Eh, by the way, pay attention to hygiene, you guys are!"
After speaking, Shi Shiran walked out of the courtyard gate, followed closely, and the laughter and scolding of Chen Dake and Xie Jun came from behind him.
Gao Jie returned to the room, took out the brocade box in his arms, carefully took out a golden pill from it, and then according to the instructions of Master Jingkong, crossed his legs on the earthen kang, closed his eyes and concentrated, and operated the true qi, and waited until the muscles and veins of the whole body were filled with true qi, and then put the elixir into his mouth.
This elixir is quite wonderful, it quickly dissolves when it is stained with saliva after entering it, turning from solid to liquid, and after flowing into the abdomen, it rises from liquid to gaseous, and then pours into the five internal organs, blood vessels and meridians.
Gao Jie only felt that his head was "buzzing", and he suddenly became a little groggy. The sudden majestic true qi rushed into his meridians like a big river, merging into his body's true qi like a stream, expanding the originally narrow meridians violently, and under the expansion of the blood veins, his skin gradually became red, and an unbearable swelling made him sweat like rain.
He knew that this was a necessary process, and while he was clenching his teeth and persevering, he was frantically running silent exercises, channeling his true qi, and forcibly widening his muscles and veins.
More than an hour later, Li Hongji and Li Guo came back from the martial arts training ground, and when they entered the door, they saw Gao Jie's hair standing on end, smoke coming from the top of his head, his face was so red as if he was about to ooze blood, sweating profusely, and sitting on the kang with his eyes closed.
Li Guo was anxious, thinking that Gao Jie had gone mad in practice, so he wanted to come forward to help.
Li Hongji was careful, and hurriedly grabbed Li Aidao: "Don't disturb him now, when the practice reaches this juncture, he can only rely on himself!"
So, Er Xiao simply sat on the ground, acting as a protector, anxiously waiting for Gao Jie to get through the difficulty.
Another hour passed, and suddenly I heard a strange noise, but it was Gao Jie who let out a very loud and smelly fart!
Just when Er Xiao was shocked and covered his mouth and nose, he saw that the red on Gao Jie's face quickly faded, and he returned to his previous appearance of a little white face, and his eyes slowly opened.
Li Guo was overjoyed, hurriedly stepped forward, covered his nose and asked, "Gaozi, what evil skills are you practicing? Not only is your face red like a monkey's buttocks, but you also let out stinking farts indiscriminately!"
When Gao Jie heard this, he looked at Li Hongji innocently with suspicion, but when he saw that the fat man also nodded like pounding garlic, he suddenly became embarrassed and said: "Mistakes, mistakes, two heroes, the contemptible person is purely unintentional, it's rude!"
Seeing that Er Xiao still didn't plan to let him go, he hurriedly used the trick of attacking the north, raised his eyes and looked at the darkening sky outside the door and said: "Oh, it's time for dinner, my stomach is hungry! Let's eat together!"
Li Hongji, who was sitting on the ground, asked out loud at this time: "You just go out to eat like this, don't you tidy up your hairstyle?!"
After saying that, Er Xiao immediately laughed and rolled on the ground.
Gao Jie touched his hair suspiciously, he really didn't feel normal, and hurriedly walked to the bronze mirror, and when he took a look, he suddenly remembered a sentence in Yue Wumu's "Man Jianghong" - "Angry hair rushes to the crown"!
The night is as cool as water, and the moon is dark and the wind is high.
The people of Changliang Bay have fallen asleep.
In addition to Gao Jie, he is still running the Wusheng Gong Technique, digesting and absorbing the residual medicinal effects of the elixir, and consolidating and channeling the surging true qi in the body.
Xu Hongru is worthy of being a master of alchemy, a spirit pill, so that Gao Jie's lifeless power from the entry stage, crossed the first layer, and directly broke through to the realm of the second layer, the effect is really against the sky!
It's just that although the realm has arrived, the foundation is not stable, and the physical strength of the true qi is like a wild horse from time to time, unable to control, wandering around the body indiscriminately, and the internal breath is also disordered.
Master Pure Space told him that it was very convenient to take the elixir to improve his internal strength, but if he didn't use his skills in time to sort out his true qi and consolidate his cultivation, it would cause obstacles to his cultivation in the future, and it might even cause his meridians to be disordered and go mad.
Therefore, Gao Jie didn't care about sleeping, and ran the lifeless exercises over and over again.
Every week that the exercises were running, he felt that his impetuous true qi would calm down a little, and his control over his true qi would become stronger and stronger.
At this time, on the side of the mountain road outside Changliangwan Village, a group of black-clothed and masked people were hiding in the woods.
The person at the head is tall and thin, and his eyes are shining, and he knows at a glance that he is a master of exquisite internal skills.
A burly man next to him asked quietly: "Fourth Elder, in order to deal with a squire and a few babies in the countryside, our Ai family dispatched thirteen masters this time, and even you personally led the team here, is there a bit of a fuss?!"
The four elders at the head narrowed their eyes slightly, and said in a low voice: "The patriarch has arranged it like this, and I am also very puzzled. I heard that in addition to them, there are five officers and soldiers to escort them, and two of them are Baihu!"
The burly man chuckled and said: "Now most of those officers and soldiers are bear bags, it's okay to scare and scare the common people, and when you meet us in the martial arts, it's not the same as chopping melons and vegetables!"
The Fourth Elder pondered for a moment and said, "It should be so, but you can't be careless. Slaughtering a few countrymen is not a big deal, but killing a soldier in the army is a big deal. Although our Ai family has the official backstage support, it is best to ensure that nothing goes wrong, this operation is not difficult, it must be resolved quickly, and there must be no survival!"
The burly man nodded yes, and said, "The three of them who disappeared more than ten days ago, there is no news yet, Fourth Elder, who do you think will do it?"
The Fourth Elder shook his head and said, "I haven't been able to find any clues yet. There is no one in life, no corpse in death, and the person who does it is a good means. Recently, I haven't found any foreign masters in Mizhi County, so the patriarch thinks that in the county, the people who are capable of doing this are nothing more than the Li clan of the second class in Tai'anli and the Li family of Yonghe Shilou. ”
He reached out and touched the long sword behind his back, and continued: "In this operation, in addition to slaughtering the little hunter who destroyed what my Ai family did for the lord and venting his evil anger, I also need to get evidence of the Li family's participation and action in Tai'anli, and then as long as the lord says a word, they can be removed from the Li family's forces in Mizhi County." ”
When the burly man heard this, he said with some excitement: "If the power of the Li family in Tai'an is really eradicated, then my Ai family can take advantage of the situation to expand!"
Immediately, he worried: "What if we can't find evidence this time?"
The four elders smiled predictively: "It is said that the gentry who is now sheltering that little hunter is the side branch of the Li clan in Tai'anli and the person from Li Jiqian's village. So even if we can't find evidence, can't we still make evidence? Just plant the blame! This time, the patriarch and the great elder who became the county commander have already arranged a big game of chess, and soon, the Li family in Tai'anli will cease to exist!"
He turned his head to look at the burly man, stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Taiyang, although you are a disciple with a foreign surname, you have followed me for many years and have made a lot of contributions to the family, after this matter is completed, I will propose to the patriarch to make you an inner disciple!"
The burly man named Taiyang was overjoyed, and thanked him: "Elder Xie Si cultivates, and his subordinates must take your head as a horse and do their best!"
At this moment, the sound of the third watch sounded, the four elders stopped talking, and with a wave of their right hand, thirteen masters of the Ai family quietly touched Li Shouzhong's house along the dirt road in the village.
