Chapter 94: Spring Thunder Explodes, Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound
The government office and the martial arts arena.
Xu Qing stood still, and the horse guard ran around Xu Qing, continuously hitting him with his iron sand palm. He hit Xu Qing dozens of times, and Xu Qing did not dodge a single palm.
As a result, Guard Ma shouted, "No more fighting."
He looked at his palms, which were swollen and several times larger than usual. He didn't know how much medicinal wine he would need to apply to reduce the swelling.
Guard Wang beside him also exclaimed: "Gongming, what kind of Kung Fu is this?"
It was not surprising that Xu Qing defeated Ma Huwei, even though they joined forces. But what happened before his eyes was even more shocking. Xu Qing stood still and received dozens of iron sand palms from Ma Huwei. Not only was he unscathed, but he also injured Ma Huwei.
What's more, Guard Ma also got some flesh and blood of the spirit fox, and after practicing the Bull Demon's Great Strength Fist, his strength increased greatly, and he has even cultivated the strength to the middle level of Ming Jin.
He didn't believe that Xu Qing had mastered the hard qigong such as Golden Bell Cover and Iron Shirt in such a short time.
If you haven't mastered hard Qigong, what's happening before your eyes will still be hard to explain.
Xu Qing smiled and said, "It's actually the skill of Bull Demon moving leather."
"Impossible, absolutely impossible." Guard Ma shook his head.
They also know the trick of the Bull Demon's powerful punch. How could the Bull Demon's skin alone be able to withstand his iron sand palm?
Xu Qing smiled without answering. He walked to a wooden man, lowered his waist and elbows, and slapped the wooden man hard.
The two guards, Wang and Ma, came closer and took a look.
Logically speaking, with Xu Qing's strength, with such a strong hit, not to mention the wooden man, even the iron man would be twisted or even broken.
Then the wooden man didn't move at all, not even leaving any palm prints.
Guard Wang frowned, and suddenly an idea came to his mind, and he poked at the place where Xu Qing had landed his palm. Although he had not specially practiced the powerful Vajra Finger or other kung fu, this poke also had the power of ordinary iron finger kung fu.
Who would have thought that when he poked it, he didn't feel any resistance at all, as if he was poking into a piece of tofu.
This was certainly not due to his finger force.
Guard Wang withdrew his finger.
The horse guard beside him exclaimed.
All I saw was powdery sawdust rustling out of the holes made by Guard Wang's fingers, and scattered all over the ground.
Guard Wang showed an incredible expression, "This is hidden power."
Xu Qing nodded.
Guard Wang was extremely shocked, and a thought came to his mind, "Xu Gongming has mastered the dark energy before he was fifteen. Could it be that I will see the birth of a martial arts master in my lifetime?"
At Xu Qing's current age, if he can master the dark power, there is a very high possibility that he will become a martial saint in the future. Even if he fails, it will be a natural thing for him to practice martial arts to the point of training the internal organs and train the dark power to the level of transforming power throughout the body.
Even if such a person does not hold an official position, he can still establish a school, teach a large number of disciples, and leave his own name in the history of martial arts.
During the fight between Xu Qing and Guard Ma just now, he also verified a guess he had after practicing the dark energy.
Hidden power is the deep mobilization of the bones, tendons and muscles of the whole body.
And the strength of Xu Qing's soul is not comparable to that of ordinary dark energy masters.
When he practiced dark energy, his control over his bones, muscles and tendons had already reached a new level, plus the control over his spirit and soul.
In a state of absolute concentration, he can fully understand the attack angle of the horse guard, and then anticipate the enemy's move and use the Bull Demon's skin-moving skills in advance to the part that the opponent is about to attack, concentrating the qi and blood, mobilizing the strength of the tendons, bones and muscles, and making the epidermis and the inside become extremely hard in a local area, greatly increasing the ability to resist attacks.
You can even use the strength of your muscles to counterattack when the opponent hits you.
Other dark energy masters, even if they could mobilize their qi, blood, and muscles, would not have the precise control that Xu Qing has. Naturally, they would not be able to achieve the same effect as Xu Qing in actual combat.
From then on, when he went out, he had the black fox robe to block the first layer of attacks as a buffer, and with the skill of moving the skin, his own defense ability was of course enhanced a lot.
However, compared to hard Qigong such as Iron Shirt, the biggest flaw of this thing is that it has little effect against group attacks.
Because when attacking in a group, any part of your body may be attacked by the enemy, and it is impossible to target anyone specifically.
Especially when you are surrounded by a regular army surrounded by swords and spears, it is unavoidable.
Guards Wang and Ma were also from the Great Zen Temple and were well versed in the orthodox martial arts. After learning that Xu Qing had mastered the hidden power, they understood the principle behind Xu Qing's use of the Bull Demon's Skin to block Guard Ma's Iron Sand Palm.
I know it, but I can’t learn it!
For example, Guard Ma also knew that the Vajra Palm was much more powerful than his Iron Sand Palm, and his blood, tendons and bones were not enough to support him in practicing this superior Buddhist martial art.
"Okay, okay, my fellow apprentice, in a year or so, I'm afraid you won't even be qualified to try out my skills." Guard Wang laughed.
Guard Ma smiled and said, "When the time comes, wait for Lord Zuo to come."
After Captain Zuo had his enlightenment that day, he asked for leave and returned to the Shangqing Palace Martial Arts Academy in Laoshan to meditate.
It’s no secret that having a background makes a difference.
Take a vacation when you are told to.
It has to be said that because the emperor worships Taoism, Taoist traditions such as the Shangqing Palace on Laoshan now have a lot of say in the court, and many people from Laoshan have held important positions in the Embroidered Uniform Guard and the Neichang.
This made Wang Huwei and his fellow apprentices extremely envious.
In terms of background, Dachan Temple is stronger than Shangqing Palace in Laoshan. Unfortunately, it has not encountered Emperor Tathagata. Even among the dignitaries of the dynasty, there is no spokesperson for Dachan Temple.
Guard Wang's heart moved. The old emperor was old, but Xu Gongming was less than 15 years old. Since ancient times, in order to vent his frustration as the crown prince, the new emperor would subconsciously eliminate the old emperor's old friends.
That's why there is a new emperor and new ministers.
The current emperor worships Taoism, but the next emperor may not.
At that time, Xu Qing was also in his prime. If he entered the court and represented the Great Zen Temple, wouldn't it be...
Unfortunately, they are just lay disciples and have little say in the temple.
We can discuss this matter with the old monk Yankong from Jinguang Temple.
Anyway, Jinguang Temple is already deeply bound to Xu Qing.
After careful consideration, Guard Wang discovered that the old monk was really cunning and had gotten on Xu Qing's boat directly by using the incense money.
Young Master Fayue went through life and death before, but the old monk just enjoyed the benefits directly and also solved the biggest financial problem of Jinguang Temple.
Don’t think that it’s easy to make money just because there are experts in Jinguang Temple.
If they took the underworld path, Black Wind Village would have already occupied the best terrain in Jiangning Prefecture. Taking the white path would have been feasible, but they were implicated because of the Lotus Sect incident.
If Xu Qing hadn't extended a helping hand, Jinguang Temple would now have to resort to some trickery to cover up the temple's expenses.
This is not a long-term solution.
This is the way the world is. There are many ways to make quick money, but to make long-term money, you must have a strong backer. Otherwise, even if you make money, you will be slaughtered like pigs.
...
...
During the New Year holidays, business at Tianxiangyuan becomes slow.
After all, no matter how much you spend your time drinking and partying on weekdays, you always have to go home to be with your wife and children during the holidays.
Qiu Niang and Shan Cai, who usually come to Su Lianqing's place for classes, now go to the streets to feel the atmosphere of the New Year.
For a moment, Tianxiangyuan was very deserted.
Su Lianqing actually enjoys being alone.
But at this time, an uninvited guest came to Meixiang Cottage. The other party was Madam Lu of Tianxiangyuan.
"Hello, Madam Lu." Su Lianqing hurriedly greeted her.
Mother Lu smiled and said, "Miss Su, Jiangning Prefecture is not as prosperous as Yingtian Prefecture. I am sorry that you have been wronged."
Su Lianqing: "Jiangning Prefecture has beautiful scenery, and Madam Lu is a nice person."
Mother Lu smiled and said, "These days, I see that you and Xu Sanyuan have become increasingly close. I can't help but have something to say."
"Mother Lu, please speak."
"Girls' beauty only lasts for a few years. It's human nature for young people to get tired of the old and love the new. Miss Su should make plans early."
"Well, I wonder if Mother Lu has any advice on this?"
Mother Lu: "Before you came to Jiangning Mansion, Mother Chen should have mentioned to you that there is a big man behind me. In fact, you probably know now that Tianxiangyuan is run by the Neichang. What I mean is that you should officially join the Neichang. Then I can give you an identity, and if you make contributions in the future, I will definitely remove you from the music industry."
Su Lianqing: "So what kind of merit does Mother Lu want me to achieve?"
Mother Lu: "Among the students you taught this time, there was a girl named Sun Xiang. Do you remember her?"
"It's her. This little girl has a special fragrance, different from ordinary people." Mother Lu smiled: "Soon, someone will contact her to test her. If she passes, she will join this organization smoothly. If one day, she wants to recruit you to join that organization, you should agree to it."
"what."
"Don't worry, this is an infiltration plan of our factory. Miss Su just needs to take advantage of it."
Su Lianqing: "Let me think about it again."
Mother Lu smiled and said, "Miss Su can think about this matter carefully for the next month. The inner factory will not treat its own people unfairly."
"Well, I won't tell anyone about this either, please rest assured, Mother Lu."
Mother Lu: "Miss Su is a smart person. I am assured of this."
Su Lianqing saw Mother Lu off and couldn't help frowning.
She couldn't help but want to smash the vase in front of her, but thinking that the noise would be too loud, she suppressed the impulse.
This Sun Xiang was assigned a task by the Luo Sect's headquarters, saying that she was the descendant of the sect's Golden Centipede Dharma King who was left outside, and asked her to lead that person back to the sect.
Unexpectedly, before she even started any action, the factory had already prepared to send people in.
What does the headquarters do?
Actively find an insider?
She is the only one who can deal with the traitor in Jiangning Mansion.
Hey.
"No, such a big matter still needs to be decided by the young master." Su Lianqing is capable of taking action, but lacks decisiveness, and matters like this cannot be handled without the young master's permission.
Fortunately, Tianxiangyuan is not far from Li’s house. After nightfall, she can just go over and talk in spirit.
...
...
This time, Xu Qing went to find Guard Wang and Guard Ma not only to exchange ideas and verify his own strength, but also to demonstrate his current strength and potential through this matter.
After he made Guards Wang and Ma realize their great value, he started talking about the flesh and blood of the spirit fox.
After all, the two brothers are old, and the blood and flesh of the spirit fox have only so much effect on them.
Helping them to practice Ming Jin to the upper level is enough. To go further, that little bit of spirit fox flesh and blood is not enough.
Therefore, Xu Qing used indirect means to spend a large sum of money to buy the remaining flesh and blood from them. Because it was winter and the weather was cold, and the flesh and blood of the fox spirits was preserved in a jade box, and it had been specially processed, the effect was still preserved.
Xu Qing planned to use this flesh and blood to refine another portion of Qi and Blood Powder. Together with the remaining Qi and Blood Powder and Peiyuan Pills he had, with his current spirit and soul, he should be able to practice all 206 moves of the Tiger Demon Bone Refining Fist in a short period of time.
In this way, it would also be beneficial to enhance the power of his dark energy.
Even after practicing the Tiger Demon Bone Refining Fist, it can also be beneficial to the practice of the Xuantian Visualization Diagram and speed up the process of opening up the Ziwei Emperor Meridian.
Ten thousand years is too long, we must seize the day.
What's more, in the evaluation of the bronze mirror, Xu Qing is still a short-lived ghost.
Guard Wang and others thought that Xu Qing was young and had plenty of time, but they didn't know that Xu Qing had serious problems!
He even had a vague suspicion that his Ziwei fate might be related to his life experience. That is, the extermination of the Xu family might have been caused by his Ziwei fate.
But who was the mysterious blind man who rescued his original body and gave him to Li Gongqi to raise?
Why did the murderer behind the Xu family massacre not continue to hunt down Xu Qing?
The things going on here are really confusing.
"Could it be that the mysterious blind man is actually in cahoots with the murderer?" Xu Qing sometimes had bold thoughts in his mind.
It's all a mystery.
He planned to study the local county annals and the prefectural annals of Jiangning Prefecture after dealing with the matter of the Lotus Sect's great elder. Firstly, to see if there were any clues, and secondly, Xu Qing decided to expand his own source of income.
Local annals of prefectures and counties often hide important clues that are difficult for ordinary people to detect.
For example, the local mountains and rivers sometimes contain some special opportunities, such as mineral veins...
Ziweixing's destiny is to rebel, so he has to make full preparations.
Fortunately, his surname is not Ye, otherwise wouldn’t he have to be the Emperor of Heaven?
At night, Xu Qing began to meditate.
The midnight hour is when the Yin energy is at its peak and the Yang energy is just beginning to grow, which coincides with the charm of the soul carrying the Yin and embracing the Yang. It is the most suitable time of the day to practice the Xuantian Visualization Diagram.
Xu Qing immersed himself in the method of visualization, mobilizing the power of his mind and soul, like an engineer, digging up the Ziwei Emperor Vein bit by bit.
During this period, Qi and blood are also consumed rapidly.
After midnight, his qi and blood became stagnant, his spirit and soul were exhausted, Xu Qing slowly opened his eyes, pushed open the door, and walked into the yard.
"What's the matter?" he asked Su Lianqing who had been waiting in the yard for a long time.
Su Lianqing was in a state of spirituality. She looked at the old Wutong tree strangely and said, "This tree..."
She had been to Xu Qing's yard several times, so she was quite familiar with the old tree in the yard. Tonight, she came and found that it had sprouted tender buds in the cold weather. Although they were small buds, they were actually invading the mysteries of the sun and the moon and seizing the fortune of heaven and earth.
Xu Qing: "It's just a small realization, don't make a fuss. Let's talk about the matter."
"The young master is becoming more and more unfathomable." Su Lianqing was secretly shocked, and then told him about the Tianxiang Courtyard.
Xu Qing: "It's only a matter of time before you officially join the factory, so there's no need to make a fuss. Being an undercover agent is your specialty anyway, so let's take advantage of them."
"only."
She knew this would be the result, but she still had to come and report.
Xu Qing thought for a moment and then said, "After the tenth day of the first lunar month, I will stay at Meixiang Cottage for a while. You should get ready."
"I obey your orders."
Xu Qing: "During this time, I will teach you some Kung Fu to facilitate your future actions."
"I'm afraid my body isn't capable of that." Su Lianqing said timidly.
Xu Qing: "I have my own way."
Su Lianqing had no choice but to obey. In fact, it was harder for women to practice martial arts than men, and the gains were less. If Xu Qing hadn't pressed her, she wouldn't have wanted to practice.
Anyway, the skills she has now are enough, and there doesn't seem to be much use in improving them a little more.
After all, it was because she lived too comfortably in Tianxiangyuan. With Xu Qing protecting her from all the hardships, she naturally felt relaxed.
Seeing this, Xu Qing reminded them, "I know that sometimes I ask too much of you and Guo Zhuang and the others, and even seem too harsh. But think about it carefully. What we do can cost lives if we are not careful. If I ask you to be more strict, the chances of you getting into trouble will be lower."
It was rare for Su Lianqing to see Xu Qing so serious. Upon hearing what he said, she thought to herself that this was indeed the truth.
The main reason was that after she joined the Luo Sect, her life had never been so easy, so she naturally relaxed. Who said that Master Xu was so smart that he was almost a demon? He did everything according to his instructions, and it was absolutely correct.
However, she still listened to the reasoning, and after reflection, she knew that she had made a mistake. She said seriously: "Sir, I will work hard to practice after I return."
Xu Qing knew that Su Lianqing had one good thing about him, which was that he would correct his mistakes when he heard them. This was better than his previous life. In his previous life, he was just an ordinary person with many shortcomings.
In this life, I was forced by the issue of lifespan, and the bronze mirror gave me feedback on everything, which was a bit like completing a game. Only then did I change myself step by step.
Others don't have this opportunity, and the feedback in reality is minimal, so it's normal that they can't correct their own shortcomings.
It’s no wonder that the imperial examination is so attractive.
Because no matter how many shortcomings it has, it provides the lower class with a real step up, not just an empty promise.
Xu Qing told Su Lianqing that teaching her kung fu was not aimless.
Because there are a total of 206 moves in the Tiger Demon Bone Refining Fist, after practicing them all, plus he has already practiced the dark power, he will be able to comprehend the most important secret technique in the Tiger Demon Bone Refining Fist - Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound - when the spring thunder explodes.
Over the years, the climate of the Dayu Dynasty has become increasingly abnormal, and the actual time of the 24 solar terms has actually moved forward, not to mention that Jiangning Prefecture is considered to be in the south.
Therefore, the spring thunder should have exploded around the 25th day of the first lunar month, which is also around the time of Jingzhe, one of the 24 solar terms.
However, based on the records of spring thunder in recent years, Xu Qing has discovered that the time of spring thunder has actually been advanced to around the tenth day of the first lunar month.
This day is the time point of Jingzhe, one of the 24 solar terms.
"What a strange era! The climate and solar terms are becoming more and more abnormal, yin and yang are reversed, and the world is turned upside down..." Xu Qing reads history and finds that whenever such an era appears, many monsters are born.
As the saying goes, when a country is about to perish, there will be evil spirits.
The way of utmost sincerity can enable one to predict the future.
This is what is meant by, when a wise man sees one falling leaf, he knows that autumn is coming.
In the following period of time, Xu Qing didn't even celebrate the Spring Festival. He devoted himself to the practice of the Tiger Demon Bone Refining Fist and consumed all the tonic medicines such as Qi and Blood Powder.
Finally, on the evening of the tenth day of the first lunar month, Xu Qing mastered all 206 moves of the Tiger Demon Bone Refining Fist without dropping a single move.
