Chapter 370: The Second True Force
Chapter 370 The Second True Energy (4k)
Li Shoufu was only an eighth-rank clerk and had no authority to inspect. He had no idea what was in the box beforehand.
Now that I see the two names on the treasure box, I naturally understand their meaning!
Liang Quzhen really achieved great success!
Li Shoufu had been the chief clerk for seven or eight years and was nearly thirty years old. He had never heard of anyone who could achieve great success in advance, so he was also unsure about this suggestion.
The Holy Emperor's oral instructions are truly extraordinary.
The most substantial benefit of oral instructions is just one: as long as the matter is not too excessive, the superiors will make it easier for you.
If you can do things conveniently, you will benefit from it.
Doing things, getting promoted, staying in office, reporting... many invisible barriers are disappearing one by one, and the benefits are huge!
Liang Qu was the seventh-rank Du Shui Lang at the time, and was later promoted to the sixth-rank Hengshui Envoy and Hengshui Guard.
The storyteller Yang Dongxiong encountered some difficulties when he tried to use his relationship with the great martial artist to seek protection.
Who would have thought that Liang Qu would strive to be great and go to Huazhu County to show off his talents. With the Holy Emperor's order, the bumpy path was turned into a wide and smooth highway!
Comparing people with others will lead to death, and comparing goods with goods will lead to throwing away.
An old poplar tree as thick as a water tank cannot compare to a red sandalwood tree as thick as a bowl!
Li Shoufu was glad that he was the one on duty on Liang Qu's first day in office.
How many people want to be at your service, but don't have the opportunity.
blah blah blah!
Liang Qu closed the box and looked around.
Li Shoufu was quick-witted and took a bunch of keys from the hanging board behind him: "My lord, why don't you go into the study and take a closer look?"
"Study?" Liang Qu looked up at the back of the government office. "Is my study ready?"
Officials above the seventh rank should have their own study, or office.
After the Huang clan branch of the Ghost Mother Sect was wiped out, many low-level officials filled the vacancies, and the government office was once again undergoing large-scale construction and expansion.
Li Shoufu counted the days and said, "The expansion will be completed on the fifth day of the month. We will gradually add desks, bookshelves, carpets and other things inside. I haven't told you yet that it's not finished yet, but it's almost done."
"Let's go! Whether it's okay or not is another matter. Take me to have a look!"
Liang Qu picked up the wooden box and went with Li Shoufu to the second floor of the government office, to the door of a room at the back east side.
Li Shoufu found the corresponding key and opened the square lock.
As soon as you enter the door, you will see reflections on the walls filled with rich sunset glow.
Liang Qu looked around.
The study has a clear view and good lighting. There are two windows on the side close to the big lake, all of which are opened for ventilation to dispel the paint smell on the new desk.
Good location, great view.
If we move to the west, the lighting will definitely not be as good.
I guess it was specially arranged by Ran Zhongshi, who was in charge of logistics.
Liang Qu took a few steps forward and measured the dimensions.
The area is not small, about 20 square meters, and is covered with carpet, which makes no sound when you step on it.
The layout is relatively simple, with a bookshelf, a desk, a bed against the wall opposite, and a small quiet room of about five square meters behind the desk. The upper half of the wall of the quiet room is hollowed out to leave a closet.
The two places combined make Liang Qu's study nearly 30 square meters in size.
"I wanted to let you know after it's completely finished, but since you're here, you might as well take a look to see if there's anything wrong. We can ask the logistics department to buy some commonly used furniture."
"No need, it's enough."
Liang Qu took a look around and felt that it was enough for his use. He was not as dedicated as Ran Zhongshi and would not come to the study every day.
Put the box on the table.
Liang Qu checked the smaller one first, and when he held it in his hand, it was shaking.
There is water in it.
When you open the lid of the box, you can smell the fragrance.
As expected, the treasure box was filled with clear, transparent liquid with a fresh fragrance.
A long green worm, half the size of a thumb, was submerged in it, motionless, curled up into a ball.
Morning dew bug.
Liang Qu recalled that he believed that the liquid was most likely dew from some plant, and it smelled refreshing.
Poking it with the finger, the shell of the morning dew worm was found to be hard, not like an insect body, and its appearance and texture were more like a green pill.
Seeing this, Liang Qu's psychological burden of swallowing the insects was greatly reduced.
Compared to the morning dewworm, the withered wind daffodil appears quite peculiar.
As soon as it was opened, the setting sun poured into the black wooden box, revealing the pale golden daffodils. At the same time, the entire daffodil suddenly withered as if it had been exposed to the desert for several days!
The entire precious plant started out as long as a forearm, and shrank to the size of a palm in the blink of an eye, with its entire body turning a burnt brown-yellow color.
Anyone who sees it will think it is a dead plant that is dehydrated and brittle!
Liang Qu shook the treasure box, feeling somewhat amused.
He was not worried about the sudden "withering" of the Narcissus.
This is a normal phenomenon, just like animals pretending to be dead.
This proves that the Narcissus is fresh and energetic, and it will recover on its own as long as it is kept away from direct sunlight.
Liang Qu came to the dark quiet room.
The withered daffodil avoided the sunlight, and the brown and yellow on the flower slowly faded away. The flower gradually stretched out, and in a moment it turned into a beautiful light yellow daffodil.
no problem.
Liang Qu closed the lid.
The harvest of two rare treasures is worth celebrating, and now only the last one is left.
"Qinglong Killing Sutra"!
Liang Qu untied the rope of the brocade bag, took out the "Qinglong Killing Sutra", opened the cover, and there was a unique charm emerging from the haze.
The charm of the master!
The pages of the book Liang Qu got were brand new and obviously not the original ones.
However, the master's charm can be captured and copied through the charm stone, similar to the rubbing of bronze and stone.
And just like the rubbing of inscriptions on bronze and stone, when the spirit of the work is rubbing, it is inevitable that it will have some impact on the original work, but as long as it is not a large batch of hundreds or thousands, it can be completely ignored.
Dashun is not a stingy court. The exchanged skills retain the charm and will be copied if possible.
When Li Shoufu saw the martial arts, he took a step forward, folded his sleeves, and looked at the scenery in front of the window.
Under the golden setting sun, fishing boats are busy coming and going.
Farther away, Kui Pavilion stands tall. On the low hills, there are a few large trees with faded leaves, but most of them are still dark green.
Before we knew it, winter was here.
Liang Qu sat on the wooden chair and roughly flipped through the "Qinglong Sha Jing" with his brows furrowed.
"strangeness."
The so-called second half of the "Blue Dragon Killing Scripture" is just like what Si Tianye and Si Shenfu said, it is not about spearmanship at all, but it has nothing to do with it...
Liang Qu took out two albums from his arms, "Qinglong Seven Killing Spears"!
Since he knew he would receive the reward, he naturally carried the corresponding martial arts secrets with him.
Read them one by one.
"Same intention? Taiqing Longgang?"
a long time.
Li Shoufu saw that Liang Qu didn't move, and saw from the corner of his eye that he was frowning, so he couldn't help but ask.
"Master Liang, what's wrong?"
"No, no problem."
Liang Qu closed the "Green Dragon Killing Sutra", stacked it together with the "Green Dragon Seven Killing Spears" and put them into the brocade bag.
It’s not about marksmanship, but there are unexpected gains.
Li Shoufu didn't know what was going on, so he tactfully didn't ask any more questions. After confirming that the reward was correct, he took the study key off the iron ring, handed it to Liang Qu together with the key to the box, and sent him out.
Liang Qu shouldered the setting sun and went straight home.
It’s getting late, there’s no need to disturb Master, just think about it yourself first.
Quiet room.
The pages of the book rustle.
In the study of Hebo Office, Liang Qu had already noticed something strange.
In addition to the martial arts content itself, "Qinglong Shajing" also contains many insights and annotations, and it is those annotations that exude charm.
But there are two special notes.
It is not written in the blank spaces above and below, but rather on the side. And it is not written horizontally, but in the older and obsolete vertical writing style!
Liang Qu remembered it clearly. There were also vertical annotations on "Qinglong Qisha Lances". Not many, just three paragraphs!
"Something."
Both martial arts books were annotated in horizontal rows, with a few vertically written notes deliberately left behind. Liang Qu didn't think it was a coincidence.
It is a consensus that when copying martial arts, it is best not to change even the punctuation and spacing, and it is best to copy it one-to-one.
Unless the copier himself is the creator.
Therefore, although the several books in Liang Qu's hands were not the original texts, they were not much different from the originals.
He flipped them open one by one and compared them. The first characters were connected, and the last characters were connected. Liang Qu tried various methods and finally squeezed out a place name in "Qinglong Shajing" - Liujinhai.
Similarly, a second place name was dug out from "Qinglong Qi Sha Qiang" - three miles east of Kumuya.
Liujin Sea, three miles east of Kumu Cliff!
A pretty clear address!
“There really is…”
Liang Qu leaned back on the chair.
I didn't expect that I would actually come across the anecdotes with hidden messages in the book.
Do all big guys love to do this?
Liang Qu stroked the paper and thought of the "Abhidharma-samuccaya" in the wood carving.
"The court should know."
There are so many talented people in the court, I don't believe there is anyone who doesn't notice something strange.
The vertical annotations and the hidden capitals are too easy to read.
The only problem is that the only thing that can be figured out from the "Qinglong Shajing" is a sea of gold.
And the Golden Sea is very big!
Ridiculously big.
Before Jiazi, Liujin Sea was the largest inland lake in the entire Beiting.
After Jiazi, Dashun was founded and had a great battle with Beiting, right in Liujin Sea!
In that battle, several martial saints died.
The final result is gratifying. The fertile land of Liujinhai, which once belonged to Beiting, has been completely incorporated into the territory of Dashun!
The territory of Dashun reached its largest level in all dynasties!
It is totally not worthwhile to spend huge amounts of manpower and resources searching for a true technique in such a large inland lake.
With the time and manpower, it might be possible to go into the Liujin Sea a few times to catch precious fish and gain greater benefits, so Dashun knew about this but was too lazy to move.
But Liang Qu is different, he has the "Qinglong Seven Killing Spears" in his hand!
The horizontal and vertical axes are complete!
From Huaiyin Prefecture to Liujinhai, one has to cross most of Dashun along the way. Normally, it would take at least three months to go back and forth.
It is unlikely that Liang Qu could go to find him by himself. Three months is too long, and there is someone there!
Senior Brother Yang Xu!
In the Battle of Liujinhai, Dashun defeated Beiting, but suffered heavy losses and was unable to advance further.
Therefore, Liujin Sea became a frontier area and the place where the Western Army was stationed!
Liang Qu only needs to ask his master to write a letter and ask his senior brother Yang Xu to help find it.
The secrets there are at your fingertips!
"'Blue Dragon Seven Killing Spears' was derived from 'Blue Dragon Killing Scripture', so the intention is the same. The master who left behind the charm may be the creator of the Seven Killing Spears."
Liang Qu guessed that otherwise a specific location should not appear in two martial arts.
As expected, I might get two martial arts of the real level at once!
Blood earned!
Not to mention the Taiqing Longgang in the Qinglong Killing Sutra, which is quite mysterious and Liang Qu is very interested in it.
"I'll discuss this with Master tomorrow."
Liang Qu is not in a hurry.
It takes at least four months for the letters to go back and forth. A day more or a day later doesn't matter. The most urgent task is to swallow the treasures of heaven and earth.
Liang Qu ran to the courtyard, dealt with the rainbow flow, then took out a small box from under the bedroom floor tiles and returned to the quiet room.
Swallow the Yuanqiao Pill first.
The coating is broken.
The powerful medicinal power is gradually released.
As he breathed in and out and absorbed the energy, a mysterious aura arose in his body, somewhat similar to the mysterious spiritual energy.
The last two orifices, Yangqiao and Zhonggong, were mostly consumed by the impact of Qi!
Liang Qu struck while the iron was hot and swallowed up the colorful rainbow flow.
[Water Essence +1623]
The desire is rising, but there is still a gap to reach the point.
Withered Narcissus!
boom!
As the dried wind narcissus entered the stomach, a vast amount of heat rose.
Ze Ding came up with an essential message.
Liang Qu didn't bother to check. The blood in his body was surging like a mighty river, emitting high temperatures and the entire quiet room was filled with scorching heat waves.
Countless qi and blood rushed towards the last two acupoints, the Yang acupoint and the central palace!
Yangqiao, also known as "Lingtai", belongs to the Yang Qi.
Located between the "Baihui" and "fontanelle" points on the top of the head, it is the key to the integration of Qi and Jin and the unification of "spirit".
The Yang orifices are opened, the Qi flows smoothly and the strength is combined, the Yang Qi rises to the spiritual platform, and the whole body is strong!
The Central Palace is also known as the Niwan Palace.
It is located between the "Upper Dantian" and the "Yuzhenguan", above the upper and lower vertical lines of the Yangqiao, so it is called "cross". It is the key to the unity of mind and spirit in "emptiness".
Once this orifice is opened, the mind and intention will be united, the true qi will return to normal, the whole body will be unified and fully balanced, and a qualitative change will be achieved!
The three orifices of the upper realm are the most difficult to open, but they also bring the greatest improvement!
Once it is opened, there may be no rivals in Liangqu Benma, and Cheng Chong may even become his defeated general!
At the same time, the similar yet different characteristics of the Dry Wind and Narcissus converge to lead to the "Vajra Skill of Subduing Dragons and Tigers".
At the Dantian, strands of golden light gathered.
In an instant, the entire quiet room was filled with wind from the tiger, clouds from the dragon, and golden light!
The prototype of a little golden man slowly emerged!
……
The next morning.
Liang Qu was full of energy and spirit. He rode up Chishan Mountain and arrived at Yang Mansion early. He took out the "Green Dragon Killing Sutra" and the "Green Dragon Seven Killing Spears" and told his master the whole story.
Yang Dongxiong flipped through a few pages and a look of sudden realization appeared on his face.
"To be honest, the Azure Dragon Seven Killing Spear was indeed seized from someone else when I was in the army. It is normal that the rest of it is in the Flowing Gold Sea."
The reason why Yang Dongxiong's two sons went to the Western Army was that Yang Dongxiong had served there and left many connections for the two.
However, the death of his second son caused Yang Dongxiong to retire, and now only his eldest son Yang Xu remains in the army.
Yang Dongxiong doesn't use a gun, only a knife. After seizing the Seven Kills Gun, he didn't take it seriously.
It was only because of the disciples Xu Zishuai and Liang Qu who used guns that this martial art was passed down.
Xu Zishuai was not focused when learning the spear, and it was only when he came to Liang Qu that Yang Dongxiong took him seriously and used his connections to get back four or five styles.
Now that Liang Qu has obtained the "Qinglong Shajing", he goes to Yang Xu to find the first half. After going around in circles, it can be said that every bite and every drink has its destiny.
"I will write a letter and send someone to the post station immediately. Ask your senior brother to help find him. The legion he is in is not too far from Kumu Cliff."
"Thank you Master!"
"Let's reciprocate. Junior brother taught me the Three Consciousnesses Method, and senior brother helped me find martial arts. That's the proper meaning."
Yang Dongxiong stroked his beard and smiled. As he smiled, he was suddenly startled and grabbed Liang Qu's arm.
"All nine orifices are open, the ultimate state?"
Liang Qu clasped his fists and said, "I received the reward for my flood control yesterday. I took the precious plant and broke through at night. With the Yuanqiao Pill, I opened two orifices in a row, and reached the ultimate state of running horses!"
"Good boy!" Yang Dongxiong leaned back in his chair and said, "We have entered the extreme realm, so the signal fire won't be far away, right?"
Such progress has been made in more than a year, but even Yang Dongxiong, a great tiger hunter, has only heard of it but never seen it.
Very rare!
With such talent, he didn't think it would be difficult to break through.
"If nothing unexpected happens, the day that Senior Brother sends me the technique will be the day for me to break through."
"Oh, why?"
"I still have one morning dew worm to swallow, so I need to prepare for the "Wansheng Baoyuan" and enter the state of mind concentration. Master should know how mind concentration can help me enter the wolf smoke.
In addition, the journey to Liujin Sea is long. When Senior Brother sends me the skills, I will learn the Taiqing Longgang from it. It will be time for a breakthrough!"
"Taiqing Longgang? I asked you before, didn't you say you had your own Zhengang prepared? Why, are you planning to change to another Zhengang method?"
Yang Dongxiong naturally cared about his disciples. He asked Liang Qu what kind of true energy he was going to condense, and the answer he got was that he had prepared it himself.
Liang Qu clasped his fists and said, "Disciple wants to give it a try to see if I can cultivate the second true energy in one go!"
