Chapter 16: Ten Forms of Shadow
Tao Qi's body swayed, as if he might fall at any moment, and for this blow, he exhausted all the true qi he had just recovered.
If it was only the true qi of the fifth layer of qi, he would not be able to kill the refining eighth-layer martial artist with one punch, but Tao Qi used the "Broken Water Flow", his only attack spell.
Breaking the flow of water can make the fifth layer of the transformation qi hit the power of the sixth layer of the transformation qi, but it takes time, and in the previous battle, Tao Qi couldn't effectively mobilize his true qi, let alone use spells.
"Qizai, five steps away, kill people in the air!you, what level are you?" Tao Guan stared at this waste cousin dumbfounded, as if he didn't know him.
"The fifth layer of refining and the sixth layer of qi transformation, cough cough, in fact, I usually work very hard in ......secret," Tao Qi said nonsense without blushing and heartbeat.
Tao Guan was stunned for a long time before he exhaled heavily: "Good brother, I have been mistaking you, I apologize!"
Tao Qi's chest suddenly heated, and after so many years, he finally spit out a human word from this kid's mouth.
Hey, the script is wrong, this "evil cousin" is the object of what he has always wanted to defeat.
Anyway, today's battle can be regarded as winning him, this step has passed, and from now on, he and Tao Guan will no longer be people at the same level.
Tao Qi breathed a sigh of relief, slowly leaned over, and checked to confirm that Long Laosan was dead, and his body completely relaxed.
The first killing, it seems that he didn't vomit as often written in novels, after all, it is revenge, and he is angry under the vicious fight, the so-called passion killing, the sentence will be light, and the guilt will of course not be so serious.
But there is one thing that is not wrong in the novel, fighting monsters will definitely explode things, and Tao Qi quickly rummaged through the loot.
A little gangster, it is impossible to explode the magic weapon of the cheats, only a dozen taels of gold leaves, a small amount of broken silver and copper plates, a bull horn sharp knife, and a few packs of wound medicine.
However, thinking that this battle had multiplied his actual combat experience, Tao Qi still felt very satisfied.
The greatest satisfaction also comes from the success of revenge, and after Tao Qi released his evil thoughts, he didn't plan to go to the Iron Tiger Gang for the time being.
Putting half of the wound medicine next to Tao Guan, Tao Qi was about to leave, but heard Tao Guan speak: "Qizai, you take this book to learn, and remember to destroy it when you learn it." ”
Tao Qi was stunned for a moment, and took the booklet, which recorded the "Ten Styles of Shadow".
"There are very few martial arts handed down by the Tao family, this form and shadow ten styles are very important, my father said, among the living people of the Tao family, there must not be more than five people who are allowed to learn this boxing method, and now, you are the third!"
Tao Qi, who originally didn't pay much attention to martial arts, was moved when he heard this.
No more than five people are allowed, could it be that this punch method is the same as the cultivation of the heart method, and there is a "bandwidth" limit?
"Then I won't say anything more, Tao Guan, there will be a period later!" Tao Qi sincerely clenched his fists.
"Tao Qi, you must rush to the Qi training period outside, the Tao family must restore the glory of the family in this life!" Tao Guan shouted vigorously.
"Don't worry, my goal is not only the Qi cultivation period, I will cross the tribulation and soar to make the Tao family the first family in the universe!"
Tao Guan collapsed on the spot: "Damn, this is still the seventh boy who loves to brag!
The next two days of the journey were not bustling, and I caught a carriage to a neighboring county at the post station.
The place where the sixth uncle introduced Tao to abandon is Luanshan County, Chizhou, although it is different from his hometown Lujiang County, Luzhou, but the two prefectures are adjacent, so he only needs to pass through five counties.
There were many countries in this era, but under the unified arrangement of "Tianfu" (also commonly known as the United Nations), the administrative structure of each country was similar, divided into five levels: prefecture, prefecture, county, township, and village.
There are thousands of people in each village, tens of thousands of people in each township, hundreds of thousands in each county, nearly 10 million in each state, more than 100 million people in each prefecture, more than one billion people in a country, and there are several large and small countries in the world.
According to Tao Liu's instructions, the surrounding counties may have the eyes and ears of the Black Tiger Gang, so the destination of Tao Qi's every transfer is not the county seat, but the post stations of various towns and villages, although the time is longer, but it is safe.
The speed of the carriage was indeed much faster than that of the ox cart in the countryside, but for Tao Qi, who was going out for the first time, the journey was still quite long, but fortunately, after the initial novelty, Tao Qi was able to calm down and practice.
The bumps in the trunk are not suitable for meditation and qi collection, but Tao Qi is mainly groping for the combination of true qi and body, digesting the results of the previous battle.
The Ten Styles of Shadow have also been memorized, although there are few opportunities to practice on the road in the past two days, but Tao Qi is now sure that if he meets Long Laosan again, he will win.
In fact, after the body recovered, Tao Qi's external strength had broken through the bottleneck and reached the sixth level of refining, although for advanced cultivators, the progress of external skills was negligible, but in the mortal realm, this layer was very different.
If the true qi can also break through to the sixth layer of the transformation qi, it will be even cooler, after actual combat, Tao Qi has already understood that the sixth layer of the transformation qi can be said to be a leap, reaching this layer, you can defeat most acquired martial artists.
If you can reach the seventh layer of qi, the true qi is like the substance, and it is impossible for the acquired martial artist to even get close!
Tao Qi got off the car, asked the guy a few words, and found the carriage to Luanshan County, which was the last stop of the journey.
"I heard that the road is not smooth, I don't want to run these days, you better wait. "The driver is trying to persuade the two passengers.
The passenger was a fat old man and a young girl, looking at the clothes of the family, the old man said anxiously: "My aunt is seriously ill, how can I delay, if it is late, I will not be able to divide it...... Uh, isn't it that there are few people who don't want to bring it, I can pay an extra 10% of the car price, how about it?"
"It's not about the money, it's really unsafe, someone has been robbed on this road recently. The coachman shook his head.
"Are you going to Luanshan County? Count me as one, the car money is more, you are willing to go." Tao Qi interjected with a smile.
The coachman looked at Tao Qi, thought for a while and shook his head: "Money is not as important as life." ”
Tao Qi and the fat old man didn't believe the coachman's words, if he really didn't want to do business, why did he have to guard at the post station?
Someone has been robbed, it doesn't mean that everyone will encounter robbers, as long as the benefits are enough, it's okay to take some risks.
The two sides were tug-of-war, and a middle-aged man's deep voice sounded: "I will also go to Luanshan County, let's go together." ”
The voice had an unquestionable tone, and the middle-aged man walked directly to the car.
"Master Li, great, with you with you, this trip is absolutely safe!" the fat old man shouted in surprise, and the coachman's expression relaxed, and he immediately went to prepare.
Tao Qi asked the fat old man strangely: "Old Lu, who is this Master Li?"
Lu Lao proudly stretched out his thumb: "Building the foundation! Master Li has been looking for mines for the government since he was a teenager, and has gained a lot of benefits, and now he is a strong man in the foundation building period!"
Is he already a strong man during the foundation building period? It seems that the cultivation level of Chizhou is not very good.
Having said that, Tao Qi was still very interested in the characters in the foundation building period, and as soon as he got in the car, he took the initiative to find a topic to talk to Master Li.
However, the fat old man is better at tricking than Tao Qi, a young man, and it didn't take long for Tao Qi to basically interject, looking at Lu Lao's daughter, it was not easy to talk to him, so he had to close his eyes and think about the problem.
Coughing and coughing came twice, Master Li covered his mouth, and his face was a little ugly.
Prospecting, the rewards are indeed very rich, but there are also many risks, such as this time he inhaled too much heavy metal powder, and his lungs had problems, so he had to go to the county for medical treatment.
Seeing this, Lu Lao didn't want to chat with Master Li anymore.
At this moment, the carriage suddenly came to a sharp stop, and the neighing of horses was heard outside.
"No, it's not good, there's a big tree blocking the way!" cried the coachman, with a trembling voice.
Immediately after that, there was a long laugh from outside the car: "Don't say so much, gentlemen, pay the road money, we just need the money to die!"
