Chapter 36: Meeting by a Narrow Road (4)(1/2)
Chapter 36 Meeting on a narrow road (4)
Thirty days have passed since I left Murong Zhi to inquire about the information; I have been in the small dark room for more than twenty days.
The timing entered the June flame.
My longing for Murong Zhi is getting deeper and deeper. It is not easy to restrain myself from leaving the dark room to find her immediately.
After I entered the state of a living dead, I often analyzed how she would act without my news for half a month.
Has Murong Zhi been involved in Shunshui Town and then tried every means to find me?
We have received the Confucian education in the secular world, but we are also pirates who have no support and are rarely restricted.
I can live in peace with Wang Qinian.
Murong Zhi may also use the method of killing people and pretending to enter the town.
In fact, I had this idea when exploring the path, but the friendly enthusiasm of Wang Mang and Wang Jing made me give up that path.
Wang Qinian almost discovered my distracted aphasia several times, but fortunately I covered it up later.
However, my experience in the dark room for more than 20 days was not wasting my gains that I said were not just learning some powerful martial arts and the use of qi, but rather that I gained Wang Qinian's trust.
The most powerful way to escape from prison is to gain the trust of prison administrators.
For more than 20 days, I have been playing a humble and eager disciple who practices hard. It seems that with loyalty to his compatriots in Shunshui Town and his deep hatred for monsters, I always use my fists to hit the ancient tree every day. This is a way to test the power of the Dragon Subduing Palm.
The thousand-pound huge stone that once blocked the exit of the small black room was moved away by Wang Qinian, and he no longer came to supervise me every day.
Wang Qinian's military affairs began to get busy again, and we only met once every three or five days.
I now have great freedom of movement and can leave whenever I want to leave.
But Wang Qinian and I have a gentleman agreement that I can only appear in Shunshui Town after assassinating the monster, and at other times, I can only temporarily avoid it in the no-man's area where Wang Qinian has confirmed that there is no enemy situation.
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 participants and insiders would be limited to ten fingers of people in Baiyun Indigenous people would send spies to the South Island, and the people in Shunshui Town had a lot of big mouths.
The sages of Confucianism said: A gentleman can deceive him by virtue of his own nature.
Although 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 to move is in the dense forest ten miles away from the small dark room. Here, there are dense ancient trees, and the smaller trees also require five people to hug each other, which is just suitable for me to test my new Dragon Subduing Palm.
My injury was applied to the best turtle spear medicine and took six or seven days to heal. The damage of Cunjin no longer left any obvious sequelae in my strong heart.
Wang Qinian said that the four foundation-building warriors under him had all taught the Dragon Subduing Palm in the internal power level, but their understanding was far from comparable to mine. He needed to demonstrate the changes of at least one hundred palms before they could find a way to enter this martial art.
And in my "game" with Wang Qinian, I can already find some changes in hardness and softness discussed by Dragon Subduing Palm.
He only showed me the basic changes of fifteen types of dragon-subduing palms, and the rest is endless for me to explore the combination and changes of dragon-subduing palms in my personal study.
Speaking of enlightenment, this kind of thing is hard to come by. Martial arts masters can first look at the roots and bones of martial arts. Those strong and tall children who have been strong since childhood have great hope of success in external skills, but whether they can move to a higher level after reaching the level of internal skills is all unknown. In our era, it is possible to achieve foundation-building, but without enlightenment, it is not possible to have a chance to achieve the Golden Elixir.
Could it be that I am really a genius?
Hahaha.
I'm so sorry that everyone laughed.
The Dragon Subduing Palm encompasses four states: hardness, softness, middleness and extremeness, and teaches warriors how to use their energy as ideal as possible in actual combat.
A person's energy is not a fixed value like a mechanical instrument, but fluctuates up and down a horizontal line, just like the gains and losses of the moon and the rise and fall of the tide, ups and downs under the influence of the right time and place and self-mood.
The same is true for the state in actual combat. Mature masters can try to stabilize at a higher state, while inexperienced warriors go up and down.
The Dragon Subduing Palm not only helps the practitioner stand firm on a higher energy platform, but also guides the warriors to perform as normally and even exceed the level in actual combat.
I have practiced the "living dead" state in the small black room for many days, which is actually a "breathful" approaching the "breathful" Wang Qinian invented the exercise program "Keep the small black room" to encourage practitioners to quickly master the "breathful" tricks in desperate situations.
The normal training method is to transition from the practitioner's spontaneous emitting air step by step to the "living dead" plant state.
Wang Qinian reversed this process. I started practicing directly from the state of "living dead", first learning to sit and lie down with the "living dead", and then learning to stop with the "living dead". The remaining "severance" of varying degrees is enough to relax the suppression of the "living dead" state of qi, just like changing from a plant to an animal.
The exercises of "hard" and "soft" are both on the surface, but the methods of hitting trees are different.
The "hard" tree-beating exercises are called "steady on the tiger's tail" and "soft" tree-beating exercises are called "Kanglong has regrets"
If you use the straight "hard" to release all the energy without reservation, the name is called "Tiger Tail" from the "Yi Lu Gua". Walking on the tiger's tail without being furious and backfiring by the tiger requires a high concentration. Controlling the strongest force of hardship and violence that you can emit, while resolving the burden you bear, is like a dangerous attempt to step on the tiger's tail.
At the peak level of external skills, my full straight punch could probably break a tree surrounded by one person, and then my fist was hematoma.
When I was in the first level of internal strength, I could break a tree surrounded by two people with all my strength. The energy of internal strength strengthened and amplified the power of my fist tempered in the external strength realm.
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, it takes dozens of times more to interrupt the tree surrounded by five people than to interrupt the strength of a person.
"Walking on Tiger Tail" not only concentrates "hard" on a line and a point, but not only exerts 90% of the warrior's own energy attack, it also digs out new qi from the warrior to support this punch. In fact, the qi that the person being beaten is a blow that the warrior surpasses his own strength.
Where does the new energy come from?
Just like Wang Qinian guided me to produce new energy in the fight, "walking on the tiger's tail" will transform the external skills that the warrior has been slaughtered into new energy under the pressure of practice and actual combat, just like drilling a well to mine minerals deeper underground and seabed.
If a practitioner does not have enough excellent external skills, he will be exhausted and fished, which will only cause blood and energy to be exhausted and die.
But my situation is different: when Wang Qinian fought, he repeatedly practiced "walking on the tiger's tail" and developed the essence of my father's easy-to-stem cleaning. If my practice method in the past was like using a pickaxe to tap potential, now he used explosives to blow out potential.
Although there is not as much pressure as in actual combat, such practice can also help me consolidate the middle level of internal strength I reached not long ago. I think I may really reach the upper level of internal strength in three months, and may be able to reach the foundation building in mid-September.
In just a few days, my energy has expanded by five or six times, which is more effective than taking pills!
Now I have a good "Tiger Tail" punch that can make a hole half-deep in the big tree surrounded by five people!
However, it is time to crush the stone walls of the black room, which is after the foundation building realm. Compared to the current energy, I have to expand my amount by more than ten times.
Of course, now I have other ways to break the surrounding trees.
This is the exercise of "Kanglong has regrets".
When I first touch the tree, I still use a straight hard fist, but after the contact is completed, I need to use the "middle" to convert the straight "hard" force into a spiral "soft" soft force to twist and destroy the inside of the tree. Then I can use a weaker hard fist to break the five surrounding trees.
The name "Kanglong has regrets" comes from the last line of "Yi Qian Gua". When it has just passed the peak, moving forward will only lead to destruction. A gentleman will adapt his own methods at the end of his journey. If he is poor, he will change, and if he changes, he will be able to move. After the ultimate hardness, he will produce ultimate softness.
In fact, "Kanglong You Repent" was the first palm at the founding of the Dragon Slayer Palm, which has the basic use of the three qi of hardness, softness and middle.
After more than twenty days of practice, my experience is that in today's era, the role of Dragon Subduing Palm consolidating and enhancing the abilities of warriors is stronger than that of actual combat.
The expansion of energy, the clever use of energy and solid basic skills are immeasurable for the power enhancement of actual combat weapons. It can even improve the effect of spells, even spells require consumption of energy. In essence, spells also use qi in more mysterious ways with thoughts.
If I really aim to cut down trees, I, who is in the middle level of internal skills, just use the lower-grade sword to cut trees. The incision was neatly made by my softness and strength. I looked at the trees that were repaired and repaired extremely miserable. I couldn't help but think of leaving tonight. I'm leaving to the thirty day. Wang Qinian's vigilance towards me has been put to the lowest point, and my concern for Murong Zhi has risen to the highest point.
Although my departure this time violated the agreement with Wang Qinian, I had my own reasons:
"Actually, there is another sister who comes to this island with me. I deceived you before.
Because the fate of a woman in troubled times is as cheap as a beast, I don’t want to reveal the situation to you easily for the safety of my family before trusting strangers. Nearly a month has passed, and I am very worried about my sister’s accident, so I have to take a break and meet you after finding her on the island. If you get angry, I will punish you. But don’t beat me to death, I still want to leave a useful body and kill the monster that harms everyone for the people of Shunshui Town.”
The above is the farewell speech I have brewed.
Of course, Murong Zhi is definitely not a woman who can't move forward in troubled times. I think she can survive even among demons. But unconsciously, she cares like a new bud grows into a vine, and I want to start and end with her.
I don't know if she cares about me.
Maybe Murong Zhi may not care about me.
I think I'm so passionate.
After all, they still have to work hard to revive Dayan's "main business"
No matter what, I will learn from the gentlemen of Confucianism and leave a note for Wang Qinian in the small dark room to explain the situation.
The dense forest where I practiced is ten miles away from the small black room, but when I go back and forth between two points, I will deliberately take different tortuous routes and sneak in the rogue grass.
Wang Qinian told me that before the Chinese arrived in Baiyun Township, the natives only entered the unmanned land during the blood sacrifice every year, which was a holy mountain that they could not desecrate. But after several wars between us, the Central Plains and them, seemed to have been acquiesced by monsters, and they could pass the unmanned land when performing various military affairs.
In the past year, Aung San Baoyan's martial arts have made progress. The spies bought by Shunshui Town in the native area provided information that Aung San Baohui was also preparing to make any moves this year. On the surface, the front line seemed to be so quiet that it was sleepy, but there were already many spies sent by both sides to quietly confront each other in the year.
Baiyun Township is divided into three parts, which is inherently inconsistent. Because of the arrival of the people of Shunshui Town, the three parts were temporarily united. However, after a long truce, I was dissatisfied with the other two parts that were big in Aung San, secretly communicating with Shunshui Town, so we continuously obtained Beidao intelligence.
It is difficult for the Aung San tribe to recruit spies from the united Shunshui Town, but their sergeants can enter the rear of the South Island with the force of Aung San Baoyan, and capture military officials and the townsmen to torture the information.
No matter how you say this is an area where monsters appear, indigenous sentry detectives will sometimes come here, so it is not wrong to be careful and concealed.
The sun sets in the west, and I am approaching the small black room and hear strange people's voices. I instinctively fall into the ravenous grass that is higher than humans, enters a "absolute" state of depth, and then slowly crawl forward ten feet outside the small black room.
The small black room was still discovered by the Baiyun natives.
They are just as superficial, and their skin and hair color are very similar to that of us Chinese.
Through the stars, I saw two indigenous warriors wearing vine armor and bone spears that were exactly the same as those of the Chinese, and the military emblem was also deliberately imitating the Chinese.
But their conversation revealed their identity.
I still remember the elementary indigenous speaking language that Murong Zhi urged me to achieve quickly.
I pricked up my ears and listened, and the content of their conversation was roughly understood by me in secret.
Two warriors were discussing the secret stronghold of the Chinese people again on the top of the Holy Mountain. The last time they destroyed a certain stronghold in the Unman's Land was a year ago.
Then they began to discuss the indigenous blood festival on October 15:
"This year, the blood sacrifice to the mountain god has increased the number of boys and girls to eighteen pairs. It's hateful that children from Chinese cannot be captured to act as a child."
The first sturdy and sturdy warrior was alert to the surroundings of the dark room and cursed.
To be continued...
