"You've broken through!" Xiao Xiao and Changqing, who had been out for a day, came back that night, and the old-eyed Changqing Lao Dao noticed the difference in the clouds at a glance.

"It's a fluke!" Yun replied with a wry smile, and the danger was still a little palpitating.

"Do you feel that there is anything wrong? I knew I would accompany you at the inn!" Lao Dao was still a little uneasy.

"Everything works!"

"Well, that's good!" Lao Dao twisted his beard and nodded with satisfaction: "I didn't reach the point of true qi at the age of thirty, and you can successfully explain two points at this age." One, your qualifications are extraordinary. Second, there is something unique about the exercises you practice. Keep up the good work, and your achievements will be above my brother in the future!"

Xiaoxiao was also very happy for the cloud, and found the innkeeper to let him purchase a table of banquets to celebrate the cloud. Everyone was a little drunk that night, Xiao Xiao hugged Xiao Bai and only knew how to smirk, while Chang Qing took Yunyun's hand and said vaguely with his tongue in his big tongue: "Brother! In Longhu Mountain, they all say that I am a genius in martial arts, but I am nothing compared to you! Before the age of twenty-five, I can practice and release my true qi! It is simply a demon! In time, you will definitely be a hegemon!"

This meal was very enjoyable, and it just allowed the cloud to release the pressure of the breakthrough. For the next two days, Yun Yun has been stabilizing the realm, and he has been practicing to collect and release his true qi freely. Lao Dao didn't go out for the past two days, and specially accompanied Yun Yun and guided him to familiarize himself with the current realm.

Having reached the realm of true qi release, he has already entered the ranks of masters in the rivers and lakes, but he has only just achieved a small success in the scope of turtle breath gong. Xiang Tianxiao had carefully analyzed this exercise for Yun Yun and came to a conclusion. This is a top-level exercise, and it is difficult to meet opponents again when cultivating to perfection, not to mention invincible, but it is also very difficult to practice. First of all, the requirements for cultivators are very high, not only in terms of physical condition, but also in terms of state of mind and perseverance. Furthermore, it is very difficult to get started, and ordinary cultivators may not even be able to get past the first level of entry. In the end, the entry is slow, from the first layer to the fifth layer is fine, as long as you work hard and have some opportunities, you can achieve it. But from the sixth tier onwards, it is difficult to advance. As for cultivating to perfection, Xiang Tianxiao even doubted whether the person who created this exercise had reached it, or only imagined it based on his cultivation experience.

Yun's entry into the realm is very fast, partly because his physical condition is good and his willpower is also firm. Even Changqing had to admit that he was a martial arts wizard. What's more, since the old guy was a child, he crossed the true qi into his body, so that he unconsciously passed the first layer of the most difficult entry. Subsequently, survival in many adversities honed his state of mind, continuous serious injuries and overdrafts honed his body, and timely insights allowed him to achieve his current achievements.

After a few days of adjustment and familiarization, the cloud has completely stabilized the realm, but I also understand that the release of true qi is not endless. Because true qi is limited, although it can be regenerated, there is also a certain recovery time, and frequent use of true qi will temporarily deplete true qi. And then the distance and lethality of the release also depend on the user's cultivation, like the cloud can only attack targets within one zhang now, and the attack power is not very large. According to Lao Dao, the battle of the rivers and lakes rarely uses true qi to attack the opponent, one is that the distance is too short, the lethality is limited, and the true qi is consumed too much. The second is to have a preparation time, although the preparation time of those with high internal strength is very short, but the master may fail by the slightest mistake. Your opponent can either take advantage of your preparation to attack you, or give you plenty of time to dodge. Therefore, it is generally used by surprise to be effective.

When the clouds first entered this realm, the lethality was extremely weak, and it was enough to choke a bird, not to mention that it would take luck to prepare for a long time, and it was estimated that the good body skills would run out of half a mile. But he is still very happy, after all, he is constantly improving, and it is always good to have hope.

Another day passed, Wang Xiangyang of Wujimen personally visited and brought news. Because of the time constraints, things have been going on for a long time, so the information is not easy to gather. It was only inquired that the craftsmen and laborers who participated in the construction were later promised a lot of money and asked to leave the local area. But there are also people who don't want to leave their homes and come back secretly. Without exception, they were retaliated against, and no one dared to sneak back several times. In recent years, it has been better, perhaps because the cave has been abandoned, and those mysterious figures have not been able to keep an eye on them, so a few craftsmen from the past have returned. But none of them dared to live in the city, but scattered in the surrounding countryside. Wang Xiangyang inquired about two, one in Niujia Village, thirty miles north of the city, and one in Zhaojiapu, fifty miles east of the city.

Wang Xiangyang asked if he wanted his disciples to bring them. Yun shook his head, what he didn't like the most was bullying, since he had a request, of course he had to visit. So he asked for the address and name, thanked Wang Xiangyang, and took advantage of the fact that it was still early in the day, and the group rented a carriage and went to the nearby Niujiazhuang.

In winter, the carriage prepared by the carriage for the guests is still good, and a thick canvas is specially added around the carport to block the cold wind, and a charcoal stove is placed in the car for the guests to keep warm. The one who drove the car was a veteran, asked the location, and without saying a word, he immediately went on the road with a wave of his whip. Along the way, the clouds are still asking Changqing for advice, and Lao Dao is still as impatient as ever, and he has no one to deal with. And Xiaoxiao only cares about teasing Xiaobai.

After walking for about ten miles, the horses suddenly neighed, and the cart toppled to one side. Fortunately, the three of them were quick and nimble, but they were also disgraced by the overturned stove. Climbing out of the car, I saw the horse lying on the road, shaking its head in pain, one leg twisting abnormally. The handlebar type is kneeling next to him and checking.

"What's going on?" asked Yun as he stepped forward.

"I slipped and the horse's leg broke. The old man replied with a sad face: "I can't go, I have to go back to the city and find a car to tow the horse back, this horse can't work without cultivation for half a year." ”

The three of them discussed it and decided to walk to Niujiazhuang, so the kind little gave the old man two taels of silver. The old man went back to the city alone, thanking him. The remaining twenty miles are nothing to the clouds, and they will arrive in half an hour between talking and laughing.

Far away, I saw smoke billowing out, as if Niujiazhuang was on fire. Sure enough, when I came to the entrance of the village, I saw men, women and children holding buckets, basins and other containers running around to get water to put out the fire.

Xiaoxiao grabbed a middle-aged woman and asked, "What's the matter, auntie?

The woman said anxiously: "It's Niu Dazhuang's house that is on fire, and none of the four members of the family escaped, but it's miserable! Don't pull me! I still have to go to put out the fire!"

"Niu Da Zhuang, why does it sound so familiar!" asked Lao Dao in confusion.

"Of course it's familiar! The craftsman we came to find is Niu Dazhuang!" Xiao glanced at Lao Dao dissatisfiedly.

"Oh, what a coincidence!" Lao Dao rubbed his nose in embarrassment.

"Wait a minute, I'll take a look!" said Yun and went to the fire.

The fire was extinguished after a meal, and the bodies of a family of four were found, all burned to char. After turning around the scene and coming back: "The fire was burning from the inside out, and there was no sign of the doors and windows opening. According to the villagers, although Niu Dazhuang and his wife are old, their sons and daughters-in-law are still young, and they are in good health, and there is no disease or disaster.

"What do you want to say, hurry up!" asked the old man impatiently.

"The four members of the Niu family should have been killed and then burned!" Yun concluded: "And we just left the city when the Niu family had an accident, and the people we are looking for know our purpose and also grasp our whereabouts." ”

"Oh! I remembered when you said that. Just now in the car, I heard a sound of breaking wind, and then the horse stumbled. Now it seems that someone deliberately broke the horse's leg and delayed our trip so that we could attack the Niu family. The old man said in hindsight.

"Then why didn't you say it earlier!" Xiao Xiao asked angrily.

"Didn't I just think of it! It should have been a stone that broke the horse's leg. It wasn't coming for us, so I didn't pay much attention to it at the time. Lao Dao explained helplessly.

"Wait!" Yun interrupted the small chatter: "The other party understands the purpose of our trip, it's broken!

Xiaoxiao and Lao Dao also understood, so the three of them unfolded their bodies and walked towards Zhao's shop. On the way, Yun analyzed the reason for the leak, and the mysterious organization had loosened its grip on these craftsmen due to the desertion of the site and the evacuation of personnel. It was probably the fanfare of Wujimen in the past two days that aroused their vigilance, and instead they learned about the purpose and whereabouts of their group through the people of Wujimen. So I got ahead of myself and dealt with the witnesses. The reason why the carriage was wrecked just now may be because the time is a bit tight and they need to slow down their journey.

"Isn't Zhao Laoshi of Zhao's shop also dangerous?" asked Xiao Xiao worriedly.

"The other party is moving so fast, I estimate that it is very likely that Zhao Laoshi's family has already killed him. Cloud analysis: "But since the innocent people of both of them are implicated by us, then we can only speed up and see if we can save Zhao Laoshi's family." As for whether it can come or not, we can only do our best to obey the destiny of heaven. ”

Eighty miles, the road was rugged and icy and snowy, but the three of them arrived within an hour. asked about the location of Zhao Laoshi's house, and Yun and Xiaoxiao went up and knocked on the door. Unexpectedly, the door opened as soon as he pushed it, and there was no one in the house, but the neighbor clearly said that Zhao Laoshi had not gone out since the morning. There were no traces of a fight, no blood, and the cloud inspected the house. The goods were not touched, but the clothes for going out were not. There were two new lines of footprints on the snow behind the house, which continued to the small river behind and disappeared, and it seemed that Zhao Laoshi had been taken away. But now it is difficult to judge whether it is life or death. If you want to search, the scope is too large, and the three of them may not be able to do it. There was no way, so they had to go back to the county seat first and then make plans.
