Chapter 165

The moment the thunder roared, Zhang Xiaohua was enjoying the fruits of his labor, methodically drawing and refining Qi. His perception was still outside his body. Although the thunder was high up in the sky, it still smashed into his perception that was drawing Qi. Immediately, Zhang Xiaohua felt as if a hammer had smashed into his heart. He was extremely depressed. There was a sweet taste in his throat and a mouthful of blood surged up. Zhang Xiaohua could not help but open his mouth and spit out a small mouthful of blood. His breathing rate of "nine shallow and one deep" was immediately interrupted.

At this moment, the lively Qi from the outside world was flowing into Zhang Xiaohua's body in an orderly manner. After the thunder, the pure Qi of Heaven and Earth suddenly increased by more than ten times. These Qi also rushed towards Zhang Xiaohua.

Although the Yuan Qi that appeared later was pure, it was different from the Yuan Qi that Zhang Xiaohua had drawn in previously. The Yuan Qi from before was lively like a lively child, a little mischievous and playful. However, the Yuan Qi that suddenly appeared was not only purer than the Yuan Qi from before, but the most different thing was that this Yuan Qi was no longer just lively. It was liveliness within liveliness. It could even be said that it was tyrannical. It was like a drunken brute or a young man with nowhere to vent his energy. It disorderly rushed into the Yuan Qi that had lined up to enter Zhang Xiaohua's body.

These disorderly, large amounts of Qi immediately caused the Qi outside Zhang Xiaohua's body to churn. It was like a gurgling stream just now, but in an instant, it became a monstrous wave, drowning Zhang Xiaohua in it!

Countless violent Qi swarmed into Zhang Xiaohua's pores. Previously, Zhang Xiaohua was still complaining about not being able to feel the Qi in his body, but now, he really felt the taste of the Qi rushing into his body. As Zhang Xiaohua's body was still circulating, the huge amount of Qi immediately rushed into his meridians. But these Qi exceeded Zhang Xiaohua's expectations. Caught off guard, he immediately lost control of these Qi. The violent Qi immediately rushed into Zhang Xiaohua's meridians like a flood!

Zhang Xiaohua immediately felt a heart-wrenching pain coming from his body. His calm state of mind instantly collapsed. At this moment, the blood that he spat out had just landed on the ground.

Zhang Xiaohua was flustered. Could it be that this was Qi deviation?

Zhang Xiaohua, who had never experienced such a situation, was helpless and did not know what to do.

However, the pain in his body continued to spread and would not stop just because of Zhang Xiaohua's ignorance. Moreover, when it rains, it pours. There was another burst of "rumbling" thunder above his head. An even larger amount of violent Qi continued to flow into Zhang Xiaohua's body through the previously established Qi channel.

Zhang Xiaohua felt like he was drowning. The endless Qi of Heaven and Earth oppressed him, like waves hitting him, making him unable to breathe and unable to lift his head. As a result, Zhang Xiaohua blissfully lost consciousness. Before losing consciousness, Zhang Xiaohua's only thought was: why is my luck so bad?

I just found the Qi, and now I'm possessed!

In fact, Zhang Xiaohua's loss of consciousness was not because of Qi deviation, but because — — it was now midnight.

Our Zhang Xiaohua had fallen asleep on time.

At the same time that Zhang Xiaohua fell asleep, he had just stopped his' nine shallow and one deep 'breathing, but immediately began to breathe again. The flickering in his dream guided his body, slowly adjusting to the frequency of the flickering.

In an instant, the endless star power in the night sky poured into Zhang Xiaohua's body. Although the star power was thin, but it was orderly. Very quickly, it poured into Zhang Xiaohua's pores, forming a thin layer of star power around him, preventing the Qi of the outside world from madly pouring in. At the same time, Zhang Xiaohua's body, under the guidance of the flickering, formed a frequency that was difficult to discern with the naked eye. In addition, the rampaging Qi in Zhang Xiaohua's body, under the condition of losing control, had already circulated through the existing meridians, destroying the meridians.

At this time, the integration of the star power from the outside world, just wrapped around the rampaging Qi. The frequency of the star power was the same as the frequency of Zhang Xiaohua's body. Under this frequency, the thin layer of star power on the outer layer of the Qi, once again circulated along the damaged meridians. This was, a wonderful situation occurred.

The thin layer of star power seemed to be full of vitality, flowing along the damaged meridians. Traces of star power merged into it, constantly repairing it. Moreover, the meridians had just been damaged by the rampaging Qi, and had expanded by a lot. Now that the star power had repaired it, Zhang Xiaohua's meridians had more than doubled in size.

The Qi wrapped in the star power did not stop rampaging, still trying to break through the shackles of the star power. But under the flickering and the frequency of the star power, the Qi was gradually assimilated. The rampaging Qi in the Qi was gradually extracted and separated, becoming a vital component. In the process of flowing through the meridians, it passed through the shackles of the star power, merged into the meridians, merged into the flesh, merged into the bones, and even merged into Zhang Xiaohua's head.

At the same time, the rain outside the straw hut was getting heavier, and the thunder was also incessant.

Zhang Xiaohua's body, because of the damaged meridians and the influx of star power, did not cut off the flow of Qi into the outside world. On the contrary, under this special frequency, Zhang Xiaohua's pores were like bottomless black holes, attracting endless rampaging Qi. At this time, Zhang Xiaohua's surroundings were surrounded by endless Qi of Heaven and Earth. If Zhang Xiaohua was awake, she would know that the Qi of Heaven and Earth described in the "Carefree Heart Sutra" was exactly like this, with only a slight difference.

The difference was that the Qi of Heaven and Earth was overly active now.

Although Zhang Xiaohua was already asleep, his breathing, his frequency, and the mantra he was using were all guiding the Qi of Heaven and Earth into his body. But what was different from before was that the thin layer of star power formed a protective membrane around his body. The rampaging Qi passed through this layer of star power and was immediately divided into two parts. One part was the pure Qi that Zhang Xiaohua normally drew into his body, and the other part was the mysterious vital energy that the star power had extracted from the Qi. The Qi was wrapped by the star power and constantly rushed into Zhang Xiaohua's meridians, while the mysterious vital energy attached to the star power also rushed into the meridians. As it merged into the meridians, it also merged into Zhang Xiaohua's body.

The meridians repaired by the star power were originally nourishing, but after the vital energy merged into the meridians, it was as if a catalyst had been added. Not only did the speed of repair increase, the meridians were also filled with vital energy. Just like a young person, the meridians became more resilient and elastic.

Moreover, this mysterious vital energy also merged into Zhang Xiaohua's bones that had been tempered by the Big Dipper Magical Fist along with the circulation of the vital energy. Drops of vital energy seeped into the 653 bones evenly. The pure white bones became even whiter as the vital energy merged into them. Gradually, they became like jade.

However, more and more of the mysterious vital energy continued to move upward under the flickering call. It gathered in Zhang Xiaohua's brain and entered a mysterious place.

Other than the circulation of the mysterious vital energy, the Qi wrapped by the star power was the same as before. It flowed in the meridians that were gradually recovering and was slowly being tempered. It was the same for the star power. Not long after, a cycle was completed. The Qi of Heaven and the star power were much more condensed and flowed into the middle dantian. After that, more rampaging Qi of Heaven and Earth and the star power flowed in again and started a new round of tempering.

After an unknown amount of time had passed, the rain was still pouring down, and the sound of thunder, however, had stopped.

Zhang Xiaohua was still sitting there cross-legged and tempering the Qi of Heaven and Earth. The boundless Qi of Heaven and Earth was becoming less and less. Some of it was absorbed into Zhang Xiaohua's body, but most of it dissipated between heaven and earth.

It was not until dawn that the rain stopped and the Qi of Heaven and Earth returned to its original state. There were only traces of Qi of Heaven and Earth floating above the herb field.

In the distance, a ray of light rose and supported the sun. Zhang Xiaohua opened her eyes.

After the rain, the air in the herb field was exceptionally fresh. After the rain, the herbs in the herb field were also abnormally energetic. In the eyes of Zhang Xiaohua, there was only a feeling of vitality.

At this time, Zhang Xiaohua had already remembered the danger last night. He quickly stood up and moved his hands and feet. Fortunately, he was not paralyzed and his hands and feet listened to his commands. He was about to sit down cross-legged and use the Heart Sutra to check his meridians when he suddenly felt that his body was sticky and uncomfortable. Upon closer inspection, he discovered that there was a thin layer of black mud on his body and there were traces of blood in it. He brought his arm to his nose and there was a nauseating stench and blood. Zhang Xiaohua did not know what happened after he fell asleep last night. When he looked carefully on the ground, he discovered that the blood he spat out last night had already dried up.

Zhang Xiaohua frowned and thought for a moment. He could not remember anything and hurriedly walked out of the straw hut. Before he left, he even used his feet to rub some dirt to cover up the blood. It was useless to think about anything now. It was better to take care of his personal hygiene first.

Fortunately, it was still early in the morning due to the heavy rain last night. There was no one in the small courtyard. After Zhang Xiaohua had washed up and returned to his own hut, he heard the sounds of someone else moving around in the small courtyard.

The heavy rain had just stopped in the morning and the ground outside was filled with mud. Zhang Xiaohua temporarily stopped his morning exercise and took out the few thin pages of the Ethereal Steps manual. Fortunately, there was no damage. Zhang Xiaohua carefully placed them on the study table before he had the time to sit cross-legged on the kang bed.

Just as he was about to circulate his Qi, Zhang Xiaohua raised his head to look out of the window with lingering fear. The day was already clear and the sky was clear. The sun in the distance had already jumped out, slowly spreading its heat.

Zhang Xiaohua was relieved.

The pain of Qi Deviation, he was really afraid.

Therefore, Zhang Xiaohua did not dare to easily release his perception. Instead, he silently chanted the incantation of the Carefree Heart Sutra, trying to recall the formless inner energy in his body. This time, he almost caused Zhang Xiaohua to lose his realm. Originally, it was just an illusion and he was unable to sense the inner energy in his meridians. But now, with a slight increase in his Qi, he immediately felt the thin strand of Qi in his meridians!

This, this, this was the inner energy that He Tianshu and the rest had mentioned.

Zhang Xiaohua was once again overjoyed. He was not dreaming right? If not for the fact that he was concentrating on circulating his Qi, Zhang Xiaohua would have tried biting his own finger.

However, that wisp of cool gas flowed smoothly through his meridians like mercury, truly carefree. There was also a slight swelling pain, all of which reminded him that this was not a dream, but a reality that truly existed.

Zhang Xiaohua faced this situation and did not know what to say. The danger last night was still vivid in his mind. And when he woke up, he felt Qi. This was also true. Then, something must have happened last night that he did not know about. But what was it?

No one could tell Zhang Xiaohua.

However, since it was a good thing and not a bad thing, he could not find someone to get to the bottom of it. He could only be a taciturn gourd and accept the fruits of victory. A good thing was always better than a bad thing. If he woke up early in the morning and found that he could not move his hands and feet, wouldn't that be ten thousand times more tragic than now?

At that time, Zhang Xiaohua would be the one who wanted to cry but had no tears. Why should he be distressed now?

Moreover, if he closed his eyes, he would never wake up again.

Zhang Xiaohua gave up on finding the reason. He circulated his Qi and drove the inner energy to circulate through his meridians. This feeling was really different from reality. Zhang Xiaohua found it very refreshing. It was really fun to have this thing in his body.

Zhang Xiaohua had a playful attitude and circulated the Carefree Heart Sutra's inner energy through his meridians for thirty-six circulations. When he finished, he was about to get up when his heart suddenly moved. He circulated his Qi and released his perception to guide the inner energy. When he carefully sensed the outside world, he found that the Qi of Heaven and Earth that had swarmed in last night had already disappeared without a trace. All that was left was a blank space. His perception could not guide the slightest bit of Qi of Heaven and Earth.

Zhang Xiaohua could not help but frown.

Suddenly, Zhang Xiaohua's perception seemed to have sensed something as it retreated like the tide. At this moment, there was a knock on the door of Zhang Xiaohua's room.

Zhang Xiaohua quickly jumped down from the kang bed and walked to the door as he asked, "Who is it?"

"It's me."

It was He Tianshu's voice.

Zhang Xiaohua quickly opened the door and asked with a smile, "Captain He, why are you up so early today?"

He Tianshu entered the room and said, "It's still early. I woke up a long time ago. I knew you were sleeping like a log, so I didn't come early."

Zhang Xiaohua was stunned. He looked at the sky outside. It was still early.

He Tianshu did not beat around the bush. He stretched out his hand and said, "Give it to me."

Zhang Xiaohua was stunned again. He asked curiously, "What is it?

I'll give it to you. "

He Tianshu said in a bad mood, "It's the 'Ethereal Steps' manual. Hurry up and give it to me. After I gave it to you yesterday, I didn't sleep well. I was afraid that something would happen to you if I left it there. Last night, there was heavy rain and thunder, making me anxious.

I was afraid that you would sleep in that straw shed again. If you wet this manual, what would I do? "

Zhang Xiaohua finally understood. She quickly walked to the desk and returned the few pages to He Tianshu. He Tianshu hurriedly took them and looked at them carefully. After confirming that there were no mistakes, he carefully kept them.

After keeping them, He Tianshu seemed to heave a sigh of relief. He said, "Luckily you didn't sleep in the straw shed last night. Let's not talk about how a straw shed can shelter you from the wind and rain. If you caught a cold or had a fever, it would be a small matter.

The main point is that the thunder last night was too strange. It struck right above our heads. You don't know, Zhang Xiaohua. For those of us who practice inner strength, it is taboo to practice inner strength on a rainy day. The sound of thunder is usually very abrupt. It interferes with the flow of inner strength. If we are not careful, our Qi will go astray and it will be impossible to make up for it.

Furthermore, practicing inner strength requires the harmony of one's Qi. Think about it, isn't that thunder the nemesis of meditation?

It is very easy to lose one's mind. Furthermore, last night's thunder struck right above our heads. It made my little heart beat wildly last night. "

"However, it's fine that you didn't go to the straw shed last night. With the way you sleep, even if the thunder struck right above your head, you probably wouldn't know."

He Tianshu looked at Zhang Xiaohua and did not forget to add, "Furthermore, you have yet to sense Qi. There is no inner strength in your meridians. I believe that the sudden thunder will not be able to do anything to you.

That's right, have you seen the footwork? Isn't it rare?

I think it's better for me to look at it first. It's pointless for you to look at it. "

Zhang Xiaohua smiled bitterly. Why was this He Tianshu giving advice in hindsight?

If he had told him this yesterday, he wouldn't have foolishly run to the straw shed to be frozen. Even if he was frozen, he wouldn't have foolishly tried to draw any Qi. Now that he thought about it, this kind of action was like the god of longevity eating arsenic. He was simply tired of living. He was just short of this warning. Last night, he almost closed his eyes and passed away just like that.

He Tianshu saw that Zhang Xiaohua was silent and thought that he had received a blow from looking at the Ethereal Steps yesterday. He patted his shoulder and said, "It's alright, Zhang Xiaohua. I feel that you still have some talent in this footwork. Although you haven't understood the second level of the footwork yet, it's fine. Once I understand it, I will teach you. Don't worry, it won't affect your participation in the Martial Arts Exhibition. After all, I also need …"

At this point, He Tianshu didn't continue. When Zhang Xiaohua heard this, he hurriedly said, "That's not it, Captain He. I've carefully looked at this footwork, I feel that …"

He Tianshu waved his hand and stopped him from continuing, saying, "I know, I feel that it's quite profound and hard to understand.

You should know that this footwork is a secret of our Misty School. If it wasn't difficult, would it be called that?

As long as we have the time, we can grind an iron pestle into a needle.

I think that as long as we put our efforts into it, we will definitely be able to learn it.

Isn't it just the first three levels of the basics? "

Zhang Xiaohua could only nod. He Tianshu saw that Zhang Xiaohua admitted his mistake and didn't stay any longer. He said, "I won't talk to you anymore. Time is precious. Seeing that the Martial Arts Exhibition is getting closer and closer, I need to seize the time to comprehend the footwork. In a while, if you have nothing to do, go to the medicine field and walk around. I'll leave the matter of the herbs to you.

When the Martial Arts Exhibition is over, I'll have Nie Xiao Er and the others properly thank you. "

When Zhang Xiaohua heard this, she was amused and said, "How about having them teach me martial arts?"

When He Tianshu heard this, his face turned bitter, but he immediately thought that it would be better to die than to die I. He immediately changed his smile and said, "Okay, I'll promise you on their behalf. When they come back, each of them will teach you a set of fist techniques. How about it?"

Zhang Xiaohua thought for a moment and said, "I can't learn any fist techniques. It's better to teach me some common sword techniques or blade techniques in the Jianghu."

He Tianshu smiled craftily and said, "Okay, I'll let them teach you personally."

The word "them" was especially clear.
