Chapter 20. Breathing

Lin Heier now looks a little haggard, but she still looks so capable in her spirit. Seeing that she never leaves her sword even when she arrived in Jinghai, Yang Meng couldn't help but slowly spit out the turbid air from her lungs and smiled at Lin Heier with a bitter face, "I think so too. Every time I meet you, I will definitely not have a good place in my body..."

Ha ha ha ha……

The three of them looked at each other and sat down slowly. However, when Lin Hei'er opened her mouth, Yang Meng's face suddenly became even more bitter.

"During this period, I often talked with Master Huo and Mr. Nong Jinsun and others, and found that Yihequan had no way out. I could not save the boxing team itself, nor could this decadent Qing court, so..."

“Stop and stop…”

Yang Meng reached out to stop Lin Hei'er from speaking, regardless of Huo Yuanjia's somewhat puzzled expression, and after thinking carefully about how to speak, he said in a low voice: "Shi Er is just a stupid child without a father or a mother. I don't understand the big truth. But with my current skills, I am afraid I can't do anything big. A few days ago, the master passed by a message and said he wanted to go out of seclusion..."

"Out of the customs? Are your master planning to take you all out of the customs to avoid the wanted war of the Qing soldiers?"

"The master asked someone to bring a letter to say that all the brothers and brothers will go out to spread the incense of Xingyiquan, so that more and more people in this country will practice martial arts, and more and more people will become stronger from their bodies to their minds... I am the youngest among my brothers, so I naturally have to follow him and see if I can dig a few wild ginseng and give it to Uncle Li. The remaining treasures in their medicine hall have all entered my stomach..."

Huo Yuanjia smiled and nodded. Regardless of Lin Heier's expression gradually becoming ugly, he gently touched Yang Meng's somewhat blue bald head, revealing a hint of praise.

"It's good to go out for a walk. You are still young and shouldn't be involved in the world of us adults. Your master does this, first of all, it may be a way to build a strong country. Secondly, it will take you to see the mountains and rivers of the motherland and find your own martial arts pursuits and insights, so that you can break through the Mingjin as soon as possible to condense the dark energy. When you come back, this capital... and even our country may have more changes."

After saying this, not only Yang Meng fell into deep thought, but even Lin Heier, who was determined to participate in the revolution, looked at Yang Meng's childish little face, and became a little hesitant and even embarrassed, "Yes, everyone's pursuit of martial arts and life paths is different. Why do you have to force this little brother? Is it because..."

"It's my brother who knows me. Sister Lin, you are too impatient. I'm going to go to Liuzhuang in a few days and get along with my master and the others first. Maybe the master has other arrangements..."

Perhaps it was decided to temporarily leave this life of stalemate, Yang Meng's face was filled with a relaxed smile. Maybe in this way, he would miss this magnificent era, but there was no such thing as a time traveler competing with him. Before getting involved in this era, it would be more practical to accumulate some of the capital to save his life.

Although his thoughts were full, Yang Meng did not expect that reality would be really skinny.

On the fourth day when he arrived in Liuzhuang with the arrangement of Lin Heier, a news that made him extremely depressed once again interrupted his pleasure in learning martial arts and recuperating his wounds.

"A team of foreigners, under the instigation of the traitor Liu Dana in the town, was preparing to come to Liuzhuang to fight for a tooth sacrifice, and by the way, what other 'educational fees' are required,'"

Li Cunyi's face darkened, and a hint of anger appeared in his eyes: "These dog traitors who forgot the clan's backing their ancestors not only jealous of money, but also want to step on the heads of the villagers to climb up?"

Hao Enguang, who has never spoken out loud, continued his master's words this time: "The bandits are a serious crime to kill the nine clans. It is better to let the villagers hide it first. Even if we are all here, we must keep these two teams of Qing soldiers and foreign devils!"

Shang Yunxiang was stunned. Unexpectedly, his old taciturn junior brother had the idea of ​​Ning Weiyu. However, seeing that the master did not object, the filial man said nothing, but just bounced his clothes on his body and walked towards the door, preparing to fight with the foreigners to the death with the junior brothers!

"Master, this kind of hard work will also affect fellow villagers. Why not go to the back mountain to set fire and lead these foreign devils away. Everyone ambushed in the forest may reduce casualties..."

"Huh? Sha Er, you and Master Wang have trained so hard that your brains are so clear..."

Turning around and looking at the silly junior brother who has always been silly said this, Shang Yunxiang was a little surprised, but in the end he felt that the idea was more appropriate: "Since you don't have any troubles, just follow the junior brother's method. When it's getting dark, as long as those foreigners dare to enter the mountain, they will all be buried in the mountain!"

Li Cunyi was also a little surprised, and his eyes looked at Yang Meng gradually became complicated: "This silly child always ignores his own safety. Even if he leads the devil into the mountain, you can't go. You are shot twice and haven't recovered now. If you go, you can only be a burden. This matter..."

"You and I don't have to worry about this. Among the brothers, Chen Yaoting's footwork and land flying techniques are the most flexible. I immediately asked him to bring tinea oil and firecrackers to leave first, and the rest of the people were ambushed. The eldest brother of the Wang family said earlier that many traps and clips were set up in the forest, and they would be given to those Russians in a while..."

"Senior brother, I'm going to kill the Russians too..."

Although he was unwilling to fight with the musket so stupidly, Yang Meng, who had been guided by Manager Li for many days, knew that in this era, he was the first priority to respect his teachers and righteousness. If he retreated because of fear of death, not to mention that his master would be disappointed with him, even his brothers would look down on him. After all, he was recognized and cared for by everyone because he was determined to save his master. Unfortunately, before he finished speaking, Shang Yunxiang had already pushed the door open and only said a word to the ground.

"Your three-legged cat's kung fu, be honest at home to recuperate from your injury..."

A warm feeling in his heart made Yang Meng gradually suppress his fear of death. His otaku's inferiority fought against the remaining self-esteem of the warrior, and finally looked at Li Cunyi with a begging look.

The old man stood up, inserted his single knife into the rope behind him, and patted Yang Meng's shoulder with relief: "This time, killing the Russians must hide behind the master, be bold and careful, don't be impulsive anymore..."

The trees on the back mountain were lush and leaves. When everyone was ambushing in the valley, the sound of the autumn wind blew the branches and leaves became clearer. Chen Yaoting lit the firecrackers in the iron barrel next to the narrow mountain road, and then he ran outside the valley where the fire was set, waiting for the foreigners to enter the ambush circle.

Li Cunyi looked at Yang Meng, who was slowly sucking breath in his mouth, but his hands and feet were slightly trembling, and gently patted his head: "Are you afraid?"

"Afraid!"

No one laughed at Yang Meng for being straightforward. Facing so many foreign guns, everyone was a little nervous.

In the Tianjin Defense Battle, nearly 100,000 Boxers and Qing troops died. Li Cunyi led everyone to attack Chenjiagou and the Russian soldiers, and the losses were actually extremely heavy.

After repeated failures, Li Cunyi and other warriors deeply understood that even the most powerful warriors faced with strong ships, powerful guns and the entire team of muskets, they had to retreat one way to go.

The power of foreign guns and cannons is definitely not something that can be resisted by flesh and blood. It is just the blood of warriors that makes them unwilling to see their country and their country be destroyed like this.

"Xingyiquan is a killing fist that was born from the battlefield, but it also has a powerful method of swallowing the energy of the five internal organs. The initial practice starts with breathing. I see that you have learned the basic method of swallowing the energy from Huo Yuanjia. Taking advantage of the opportunity now, I will teach you how to understand the breathing method of nature."

Looking at Yang Meng's somewhat puzzled look, Li Cunyi smiled slightly: "The human body is born to correspond to the secrets of the natural way. Babies are young, but the frequency and way of the baby's breathing are the closest method to nature. Pay attention to listening to your own breathing sounds and you can understand how to carry and explode your breath. Only by integrating spirit and nature into one can the potential of the body be realized."

"What the master means is that breathing naturally is the most suitable breathing method for warriors?"

Li Cunyi shook his head, but then pointed, "Whether it is external or internal martial arts, it is necessary to pay attention to the operation of breathing and the circulation of qi and blood. As long as the breathing is smooth and deep, it can gradually cause a certain sense of response to natural environments such as mountains, rocks, plants and trees, and remove internal fears and distractions. This is also the highest pursuit of martial arts. However, few people can do it, so they create a set of breathing methods that swallow qi and exert force."

It's strange that after Li Cunyi said this, everyone's hearts gradually changed from tension to tranquility. Occasionally, gunshots from afar sounded less clear than the sound of the whirling leaves in the woods rolling and rubbing. In just a dozen seconds, everyone forgot the tension and fear little by little in the tranquility. While slowly exhaling their breath, they recalled every bit of the flow of boxing.

Inhale... exhale...
