Chapter 26: Rainy Night in the Imperial City (1)
The Great Zhao Dynasty, the imperial city of Kyoto.
The imperial capital guarded by pavilions, towers, jade tiles and glass, and the three thousand iron armored troops are naturally prosperous and prosperous. Although it is already sunset and night, there are still people in Kyoto, and the flowers and willows are singing and dancing to peace.
There is another city in Kyoto, but it is the royal family. It has a golden brick and green tiles and is extraordinary. Compared with the noise of the outer city, this imperial city is much quieter.
Above a palace and pavilion, she was wearing exquisite clothes and was very rich. However, she stood on the pavilion and looked at the moonlight, but she looked at the darkness in her eyes.
After a long time, she asked her to say with a soft lips: "Although the brocade clothes and food are good, they are not as good as the countryside for simple food..." After saying that, she sang quietly: "The green bamboos and green willows are in the fields, and she laughed and scolded and enjoyed the world. It's a pity that once she woke up from her dream, she never returned..."
Thinking of interesting stories in the fields and the past with the country boy, Linglong felt like she was a different life, and she smiled at the corner of her mouth, but she thought of this moment, but she looked sad again.
"He... should have passed the martial arts test, right? I just hope he forgot about me, marry a woman with good character like others, and live the rest of his life well. If he can do what he wishes, Linglong will have no other wish in this life!"
Xiao Cui, dressed in a palace maid in the distance, looked at the figure who was dressed in gorgeous clothes but slightly thin, and shook her head and sighed.
The two of them didn't know that at this moment, less than ten miles away from Kyoto, the old and the young rushed to a small town nearest to Kyoto. If nothing unexpected happens, the two of them will be able to enter Kyoto on the second day.
These two were naturally Master Qu Chong and Xing Tian. They found an inn and stayed there. After dinner, they went out again. After inquiring about it, they went to the only gambling hall in the town.
And the reason I went to the gambling hall was because they had no money.
Along the way, the master and apprentice spent money, and Qu Chong said that the most important food supplement in the body quenching period is to nourish the body. If you don’t eat well, how can you temper the body? So every meal is big and big, and the money is like running water.
When you spend all the money, you will naturally have to have an input, and the source of this input is the gambling hall.
"The God of Heaven-Ask that I practiced by my master was born out of a magical skill in the Guashan School. All magical skills are all about the word "Wu". Didn't you ask me what the formula I asked you to recite every day for more than half a month? That is the God of Heaven-Ask that I understand by my master. Now you have to memorize it backwards so that you can practice this magical method after reaching the state of "Tongjiao" in the future." Qu Chong said as he walked.
"Tongqiao Realm?" Xing Tian was stunned. He had not heard of this realm in his martial arts level, but he looked puzzled.
"About martial arts level, I will tell you after we come out of the gambling hall. Let's go to the gambling hall first!" When it comes to gambling, Qu Chong is obviously of a high nature.
"What does this have to do with us going to the gambling hall?" Xing Tian was puzzled.
"It's a big deal!" Qu Chong gave Xing Tian a blank look and said, "There are tricks to guess the size in the gambling hall, but it is the best way to practice the God of Heaven. In short, you will be watching me from the side for a while, don't talk, learn more!"
Xing Tian secretly said that he was just gambling, why did he say so well? And there was nothing to learn about this, but he bowed his head and rushed into the crowded gambling hall with his master Qu.
The gambling hall is not large in size, and there is a long and large table in the middle. A thick man is shaking hard with a bamboo tube as big as a palm in his hand.
"Betting, betting, betting, whether it is big or small, buy it and leave!" The man was wearing a cardigan, showing his chest muscles, and looked tough, as if he had practiced martial arts. Obviously, he was the dealer, and around the table, there were a group of people, with their eyes fixed on the bamboo tube in the hand of the fierce man.
After a snap, the man held the bamboo tube in his hand on the table, and someone immediately threw the copper coins and silver in his hand into a circle with two-sized characters written on the table.
Of course, throwing it in the circle with the word "small" means buying small, and throwing it in the circle with the word "big" means buying big.
Qu Chong came in with Xing Tian and did not rush to buy it, but closed his eyes and meditated. After a while, he opened his eyes, took out a piece of paper and a pen from his arms, moistened the tip of the pen in his mouth, and wrote a line of words.
Then he put away the paper, took out some broken silver and joined the gambling game.
Xing Tian watched the whole process. After about half a stick of incense, Qu Chong withdrew from the crowd with a handful of broken silver and a few silver notes.
"Let's go, I'm done!" Qu Chong laughed, no different from those gamblers who won the bet.
After leaving the gambling hall, the master and the disciple found a tavern, ordered a few plates of side dishes and a pot of old wine and slowly started eating. Naturally, Xing Tian would not drink that wine, but Qu Chong sipped one by one, and he drank it very happily.
Xing Tian was full of worries, so it was Linglong's thing to think about. The master said that Linglong had an extraordinary status and was in Kyoto of the Great Zhao Dynasty. If nothing unexpected happened, they would have arrived before noon tomorrow. What happened? Xing Tian was really unsure of what happened. To be honest, if it weren't for Master Qu Chong who accompanied him all the way this time, Xing Tian would not have found this time.
Xing Tian was already sincerely grateful and respectful to his master Qu Chong. Xing Tian could still feel who is good to him. In addition to his father and Linglong, his master was the third person who truly treats him.
Xing Tian understood the principle that a drop of water should be repaid with a spring of water. He had decided in his heart that he would be filial to his master no matter what he did in the future.
As if he saw Xing Tian’s thoughts, Qu Chong took a glass of wine and whispered: “Don’t worry, I’m sure you can see your sweetheart tomorrow, but I can only do this. As for the teacher, you can only do this. It’s the same sentence, you and that girl named Linglong are difficult to be perfect, so if you have anything, say tomorrow, do what you have, don’t leave any regrets for yourself…”
Xing Tian is now very convinced of his master Qu Chong's words. Looking back and thinking about it carefully, Xing Tian can also find some clues. Linglong appeared in the past was quite mysterious. Moreover, although the other party was a daughter, he was knowledgeable, knowledgeable, knowledgeable about music theory, calligraphy and painting, and his words and deeds were excellent. At that time, Xing Tian concluded that Linglong had an extraordinary life experience, but he did not expect that Linglong was actually from Kyoto of the Great Zhao Dynasty.
Where is Kyoto?
Even the people in the countryside know that it is the place where the emperor lives. Anyone there will find out is a high-ranking official and rich businessman with a prominent status.
However, even though Linglong had a prominent identity, Xing Tian was confident that he would narrow the distance between the two and clench his fists hard, and Xing Tian secretly made up his mind.
Qu Chong saw Xing Tian’s expression, but sighed inwardly, and changed the topic: “Advisor, you are already quite good at that Tianshan Yunzhu. You will need to be constantly tempered in the future to integrate this footwork. At that time, you can enter the Body Tempering Realm and practice higher-level Body Tempering Martial Arts. But remember, do not rush to practice martial arts. You must be sure to be stable at all levels. The stronger the foundation is, the higher the future achievements will be!"
Xing Tian knew that this was the master teaching him, so he nodded and said yes.
"Tonight, I will tell you about the realm of martial arts. Based on what you know, what level of martial arts are divided into?" Qu Chong put down his wine glass and asked in a deep voice.
Xing Tian thought for a while and said truthfully: "The martial artists in the world first strengthen their body, and they all use body tempting martial arts to temper their body, and then enter the body tempting realm. Then they regulate their breathing and absorb their qi and cultivate internal strength, so that they can use the true qi... In the future, there will be a hole opening realm, but I don't know what the disciples are about!"
These were also what Xing Tian learned from the old dumbfounded that night. Qu Chong nodded and said, "Yes, the body tempering realm is solidified, the breath condition is regulated and absorbed qi, and incorporating true qi can rush into the qi and open acupoints. That is the opening acupoint realm. The opening acupoint realm requires a large amount of true qi to penetrate 108 acupoints all over the body to reach the Great Perfection Realm. By the way, Yu Tonghai has already broken through 72 acupoints, which is considered a great achievement of the opening acupoint realm. If you want to cause trouble for him in the future, you must surpass him in your cultivation level!"
Qu Chong said it simply, but Xing Tian was extremely shocked. At the same time, this knowledge was like a bright light, illuminating some of his doubts.
"Yu Tonghai, break through the seventy-two acupoints, and the acupoint realm is greatly improved. Let's wait. I will surpass it sooner or later!" Xing Tian was full of fighting spirit.
Qu Chong continued: "And when all 108 acupoints in the body are opened, you will enter the state of hardness and softness. This state is a test of the control of true qi. It is considered a great success to achieve supernatural enlightenment. At that time, even if any true qi is shot out, you can do whatever you want. It can be as strong as a sharp axe to the sky, or as soft as cotton waves and willow leaves long whip. You can be considered a master of martial arts at this state. Your master and I are in this stage of great perfection of hardness and softness!"
Xing Tian was so excited that he thought that his master had grabbed a hundred kilograms of huge rock from the air and smashed the huge rock several feet away. At that time, he thought it was a magical method. Now, thinking about it, it should be that the true energy is released and control it freely to do this.
But at this moment, a trace of gloom appeared in Qu Chong's face, and he said: "The realm of hardness and softness is the 'Kao Tongdi Realm'. You must know that all the orifices are connected to the spirit. When you reach this realm, you can communicate the energy of heaven and earth. The power of the attack is more than a hundred times greater than that of ordinary warriors. If the method of asking about the gods is practiced in the realm of the orifices can barely resist the backlash of the energy of heaven and earth... It's a pity that I was energetic and did not know that the sky was high and the earth was thick. I practiced rashly, and used my own true energy to activate this magic method, which led to the end of Tiande's life reduction..."
In the last few sentences, Qu Chong's expression was dim and his voice turned low, as if he was thinking about something, he talked to himself.
However, Xing Tian heard all the clever ears and eyes, and immediately said in surprise: "Master, you..."
Xing Tian may not understand other things, but he listened to the word "reduced life" in a true way. Now he respects Qu Chong as much as his father, so he naturally cares about him.
Qu Chong knew that he was speechless, but he shook his head and said without saying anything. But after a moment, he said, "I will tell you sooner or later. Since that's the case, it's better to say it earlier. It can also make you mentally prepared and follow me..."
