One morning half a month later, a ray of fiery red light gradually dyed the sky red.
Zhongnan Mountains, on a steep cliff.
A middle-aged Taoist priest wearing loose Taoist robes with messy hair and beard is sitting cross-legged on a stone platform on the edge of the cliff. Surrounded by the morning mist, his eyes are closed tightly, his expression is solemn, and he has an ethereal fairy spirit. If he is an ordinary person,
When I saw him, he probably thought I had met a god.
However, this perfect artistic conception was soon shattered by a disdainful voice.
"Niubi, you have been cultivating Taoism for so many years, but you haven't developed a single qi or internal strength. You still sit there all day long. Why don't you go down the mountain and return to the secular world, marry a wife and have children, so that you won't be able to have children when you get older in the future?" Qin
Hao yawned and walked out of the cave.
It has been half a month since he came here. When he first met this Taoist priest, he really felt that he had a certain air of immortality. Maybe he was really an expert from this world.
However, as he got more and more contact, Qin Hao discovered that this Taoist priest was actually a good guy. Although he was considered a master in secular martial arts, he still couldn't do three moves under him.
As for the Taoist practice of dual cultivation of life and life that he mentioned, Qin Hao also practiced it for ten days. Apart from improving his sleep quality, he didn't feel any other benefits, let alone practicing the sense of breathing.
From then on, Qin Hao decided that this Taoist priest was a liar.
"You brat, don't talk nonsense. The ancients have not made any progress in cultivating the method of immortality for decades. There are countless people who have achieved enlightenment in one moment. How can someone as impatient as you become a true immortal?" the middle-aged Taoist priest retorted unhappily.
Qin Hao pouted: "Come on, it's okay for you to deceive others with your words. Your Taoists talk about dual cultivation of life and life. As for this life skill, I dare say that I have practiced it to the extreme in the physical body and still have no sense of Qi at all. Either this is your method.
Wrong, or the world lacks certain necessary conditions for people to practice."
The middle-aged Taoist priest twitched his eyebrows. He had completely lost his temper towards the strange young man in front of him. However, he recognized one thing, that is, this young man's physical strength was indeed something he had never seen in his life. But in terms of life skills,
, which raises doubts that the other party does have this qualification.
However, the middle-aged Taoist priest still shook his head: "Dual cultivation of life and life cultivates the original mind and body, and has nothing to do with external factors. Since ancient times, all those who have attained the Tao and become immortals are all sages with great perseverance and great wisdom. If we have no results in our cultivation, we should start from ourselves.
Look for the reasons instead of blaming others, otherwise wouldn’t all this sexual skill be cultivated in vain?”
"Boy, your life skills have indeed been practiced to the extreme, but your sexual skills are greatly lacking. The stronger your body is, the stronger your energy is, and the easier it is to lose focus during practice. The so-called wandering mind, the only way to conquer the beast in your heart is to conquer it.
Only then can we achieve both internal and external cultivation, use our flesh as a furnace, melt and refine our Qi, and achieve the golden elixir path!"
This time Qin Hao did not refute. Although he did not think what the middle-aged Taoist priest said was right, after this year's travels, it seemed that he had come across this middle-aged Taoist priest's technique that was a little more reliable, and the rest were not.
He is a charlatan, or he has only a little knowledge, and theoretically cannot convince himself of even half a bucket of water.
"Okay, I will stay here for three years. After three years, if you still can't become famous, you should go down the mountain with me as soon as possible. If I can't even practice the skills, you will have no hope.
.”
The corners of the middle-aged Taoist priest's mouth twitched. Although he wanted to refute, there was an indisputable fact that this kid's talent was really terrifying. He had only been here for half a month and it had almost wiped him out. It took him more than half a year to learn.
Qin Hao was able to achieve the level of breathing and breathing with ease in just a few days.
"It doesn't matter if it's three years, this guy should leave as soon as possible to avoid breaking my Taoist heart!"
In the next three years, Qin Hao spent most of the time practicing Xing Gong. The rest of the time he either went to the mountains with the middle-aged Taoist priests to collect medicine or practiced martial arts to pass the time. His life was quite fulfilling.
There is no time in the mountains, and the three-year period will come soon.
Qin Hao exhaled a breath of turbid air and shook his head regretfully. In the past three years, he still has not cultivated "Qi". The only gain is through the breathing and breathing method taught by the middle-aged Taoist priest, combined with the Tai Chi Bagua shape.
The methods of exercising the internal organs of the three major Italian martial arts have greatly improved the functions of the internal organs.
"It's a pity, it's still a little bit worse."
In fact, Qin Hao now has a vague feeling that he has already stood at a certain critical point. As long as he takes a step forward, he may be able to break free of the shackles that have choked countless warriors.
But after all, it is one step away. The so-called world is so close.
"Niubi, I'm going down the mountain, please wish yourself well."
After Qin Hao finished speaking, he simply packed up a few changes of clothes, jumped into the clouds and mist.
The middle-aged Taoist priest hesitated for a moment, but finally did not go down the mountain. He slowly closed his eyes and tried to enter meditation. However, this time he could not calm down.
"That's all, let's go down the mountain and have a look."
One day later, a middle-aged Taoist priest also rode the clouds and mist down the steep cliff.
This scene was seen by many villagers who came to collect medicine, and the rumor that there was an immortal ascending to the sky during the day in Zhongnan Mountain quickly spread.
........
After leaving Zhongnan Mountain, Qin Hao then went to Wudang Mountain, Longhu Mountain, Qingcheng Mountain and other Taoist holy places. This journey was not only a journey of inquiry, but also a journey of spiritual refinement.
It took two years to walk all the way. Except for the occasional carriage and donkey cart, Qin Hao never took any other means of transportation, and his footprints covered half of China.
On the way, I also encountered many things, including killing bandits and bullies, corrupt officials, and many foreigners and traitors.
Maybe too many people were killed, gradually.
The bandit name of "Bloody Hand Massacre" was assigned to Qin Hao. Whenever there was a rumor that Qin Hao was going to pass by a certain place, the bandits, bullies and corrupt officials along the way would start to behave with their tails between their legs.
This is also related to Qin Hao's strong performance. There once was a bully in Jiangxi who was known as "Nan Ba Tian" and colluded with the government. He had many thugs under his command and even the county magistrate had to look at his eyes to act.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! As a result, overnight, this bully and more than 30 members of his gang were all killed.
What's even more incredible is that after autopsy, they were all beaten to death by fists, and each of them only received one punch.
There were also foreigners who took advantage of their status as foreigners to abuse women and later hid in local concessions, which the Republic of China government did not dare to provoke.
As a result, the next day, the foreigner's body was found hanging from a telephone pole. What was even more bizarre was that the foreigner lived in a heavily guarded embassy that night. The guards of the embassy also categorically stated that there was no discovery that night.
He goes out.
For a time, "The Bloody Hand Massacre" became a hero praised by the common people, and also became an evil god who was feared by bandits, bullies, and foreigners and traitors like a tiger.
........
Six years ago, before leaving Jinmen, Qin Hao was not yet fourteen years old, and now he has long lost his childish appearance.
"Jinmen, I'm back."
Standing outside the city wall of Jinmen, Qin Hao whispered softly.
"Go to the Chinese Samurai Association!"
Seeing Qin Hao's tired appearance, the rickshaw driver asked with a smile: "Are you going to learn a skill? Or is it a challenge?"
Qin Hao became interested: "Oh? Many people go to the Chinese Warrior Association to learn skills and challenge them?"
"Of course." The rickshaw driver replied as he ran.
"The Chinese Warriors Association has become more powerful day by day since President Omiya took over. Even the Republic of China government hired him as the 'Instructor of the Forbidden Army'. Those who want to learn from the master want to become famous in one battle.
The queue is almost reaching the city gate."
This coachman did not understand the military system of the Republic of China government, so he could only use terms from the Water Margin to replace them.
"I don't want to learn skills, nor do I want to challenge myself to find my relatives!" Qin Hao said with some emotion.
In his heart, he has long regarded Mr. Li Cunyi as a family member.
"Looking for relatives? It's good to find relatives. It turns out that you are a material for martial arts training. There are people in these six gates who are good at becoming officials. In the future, they will find a job among the Chinese warriors. How beautiful that would be."
All the way to the entrance of the Chinese Warrior Association.
Qin Hao threw a piece of ocean to the coachman and said that there was no need to give change. The coachman was so excited that he almost kowtowed to Qin Hao.
This money was naturally collected from those corrupt officials. They robbed the rich and gave to the poor. Who made him poor?
At this time, the Chinese Warriors Association had already changed its entrance hall. The two stone lions at the entrance alone weighed four to five tons. The twenty-five golden door nails on the vermilion door made people dizzy.
"Is this guy here to learn art?"
A disciple stopped in front of him, his tone was quite polite.
"Is Mr. Li, your former president, here?"
The other party looked at Qin Hao a few times: "Mr. Li has not been feeling well lately and has gone home to recuperate. Who are you?"
"I'm his apprentice." After Qin Hao said that, he didn't rush in and turned around to leave.
Suddenly I heard a loud voice coming from inside.
"Who dares to pretend to be Mr. Li's apprentice?"
Qin Hao looked back and saw that this was Ma San.
Ma San looked at Qin Hao suspiciously for a while, and asked hesitantly in his excitement: "You...are you Junior Brother Qin?"
Qin Hao nodded slightly. At this time, Ma San had long lost his childishness. He seemed to have deliberately grown a beard to make himself look more mature, but his appearance remained the same.
"Oh, Junior Brother Qin, it's really you, you've changed a lot." Ma San grabbed Qin Hao's hand and shook it excitedly.
It seemed that this was the first time that the disciple saw Ma San like this, and he stood aside in surprise.
"I heard that the old man is sick?"
Qin Hao asked after Ma San calmed down.
Ma San hurriedly said: "The old man is old and inevitably has some old problems. The weather has turned colder. His knees are a little sore. My master has asked someone to diagnose him. It's nothing serious."
"That's good." Qin Hao breathed a sigh of relief.
"Look at me, I'm so excited to see you. This is not the place to talk. Let's go in first. Master will be extremely happy if he knows you're back." Ma San said and was about to grab Qin Hao's wrist.
As a result, Qin Hao flipped his wrist and grabbed Ma San's hand.
Ma San was stunned for a moment, and suddenly got into the idea of competing with his skills. He pulled hard with his right hand, leaned forward with his shoulder, and used a move called "Landslide"
However, in the face of Ma San's sudden force, Qin Hao remained motionless. Ma San did not stop when he saw this, and his entire upper body, with his shoulders as the apex, crashed towards Qin Hao.
The next second, Qin Hao suddenly disappeared from Ma San's eyes.
"It's this move again!" Ma San didn't panic this time.
He quickly turned around and used the "Old Ape Hanging Seal" move to grab Qin Hao's face.
A smile appeared on Qin Hao's lips. Ma San seemed to have made great progress in recent years.
However, before the smile on Ma San's face could bloom, he was blinded again, and then received a slap on the back of his waist. Ma San instantly lost his balance and was about to plunge forward.
Just when Ma San was shocked and wanted to reach out to support him, someone grabbed his belt and pulled him back again.
"Junior Brother Qin is indeed so strong!" Ma San stood firm and smiled bitterly at Qin Hao.
Qin Hao was about to comfort him when he suddenly heard a clear voice.
"Hey, it turns out that senior brother will lose too."
When Qin Hao turned around, he saw an eighty-nine-year-old girl standing under the vermilion door with a smile on her face. Her bright black eyes were full of joking and gloating, and she looked very smart.
Ma San smiled bitterly at Qin Hao: "This is my master's daughter Gong Ruomei. You also mentioned her to her, do you remember?"
"Remember, I didn't expect to grow so big in the blink of an eye." Qin Hao then remembered that Gong Ruomei is now eight or nine years old.
Gong Ruomei looked at Qin Hao for a long time, turned her face sideways, and walked up to Qin Hao: "Are you the senior brother Qin that my father often mentioned?"
"Oh? Master Gong, does he often mention me?" Qin Hao looked at Ma San.
Ma San shook his head and sighed: "Not only do we often mention it, but whenever our brothers make a mistake in practicing, he will always talk about how you did it back then."
Qin Hao couldn't help but laugh when he saw Ma San and Gong Ruomei both had grim looks on their faces. He accidentally became someone else's child again.
The three of them went to the backyard of the Chinese Samurai Association while chatting and joking.
There was a martial arts hall in the backyard, and many young disciples were practicing kung fu. When they saw Ma San, they all cupped their fists and saluted. Ma San just nodded, looking very arrogant.
But when they got to the backyard, Ma San could no longer be proud and couldn't help but ask Qin Hao about his situation over the years.
Qin Hao simply talked about some of his experiences, and Ma San couldn't help but sigh: "It turns out that the 'bloody hand massacre' that has caused a lot of commotion in the world recently is actually you, junior brother."
After hearing this, Gong Ruomei was filled with envy and thought: "If I were a man, I could be a chivalrous and righteous female knight like my senior brothers and the others."
Just when Gong Ruomei was dreaming about becoming a heroine, Gong Baosen and Ding Lianshan also came to the backyard.
"Uncle Gongshi, you are fine."
Gong Baosen held Qin Hao's hand: "It's good to come back, it's good to come back!"
Ding Lianshan's originally somewhat grim face also had a half-smile, as if he was remembering the scene when the two of them fought side by side.
"Uncle Gong, if nothing happens, I will go back first to see my master."
"Well, go ahead, go ahead. If senior brother sees you, maybe all your problems will be cured, haha!"
