Chapter 167

He Tianshu smiled and said, "What do you know? Qing gong is the most basic skill to protect one's life. Many people who roam the pugilistic world, even if their other martial arts aren't that good, they still have to train their qing gong well.

Think about it, if you encounter a fight and your martial arts aren't as good as others, then wouldn't you still have to run away? Those with good qing gong will definitely be able to escape faster.

What's more, those with good qing gong will be able to gain the upper hand in a fight. "

Zhang Xiaohua suddenly understood. He didn't have the experience of fighting with his life on the line, nor did he have the experience of roaming the pugilistic world. Naturally, he didn't know the importance of qing gong.

Zhang Xiaohua thought for a moment and asked, "Captain He, then these two qing gong …"

He Tianshu waved his hand to stop Zhang Xiaohua's question and said, "Zhang Xiaohua, although this Ethereal Steps has two qing gong cultivation methods, but to be honest, the first one is a true top grade qing gong cultivation method while the second one is an extremely precious trash!"

Zhang Xiaohua opened her mouth wide and said, "Ah!

What's going on?

Precious trash? "

He Tianshu smiled and said, "The first cultivation method is a real martial arts method. I can understand it too. If I concentrate on cultivating it, after a few months or even a year, I think I will definitely be able to grasp it. At that time, I can also teach it to you properly.

As for the second one?

How should I put it? What it says is simply an unimaginable idea. This kind of qing gong cultivation method actually requires the release of Qi to form a circulation outside the body. This is simply impossible! "

Zhang Xiaohua didn't understand and asked, "What is Qi?"

He Tianshu explained, "It's the kind of hot gas produced in your meridians when you practice internal strength. We call it True Qi."

"Oh!

So that's how it is. "Zhang Xiaohua understood and said," I thought it was called inner strength. "

He Tianshu said, "True Qi, Internal Force, and Internal Force have the same meaning. When True Qi reaches the attacking fist, the power released is Internal Force. This kind of power is different from pure strength. It is also called Internal Force. In fact, it is usually called a mix. There is not much difference.

However, how did this Qi name come about? It's quite strange. When we were young, we discussed it in detail. "

Zhang Xiaohua saw that He Tianshu was going off topic and quickly asked, "Then why can't Qi be released?"

He Tianshu looked at Zhang Xiaohua who didn't understand and asked, "Do you know what it means to release inner strength?"

Zhang Xiaohua shook his head and said, "I know. Why would I ask you?"

He Tianshu explained, "I don't know the specifics, but I know that once all the inner strength is released outside the body, it will immediately dissipate. It will no longer be controlled by the person who released it. When a high level inner strength cultivation method is practiced to the end, the inner strength in the body will be incomparably vigorous. Only then can the inner strength in the body be released to a certain range outside the body. If a fist is used, then it will be a fist aura. If a sword is used, then it will be a sword ray."

Then, He Tianshu looked around carefully and said in a low voice, "I don't know about the rest of the people in Ethereal Sect, including Sect Leader Ou. I only heard some rumors that the second elder of the sect who cultivates the 'Seven Ethereal Swords' has just mastered the sword gleam.

That is a legendary martial art in the jianghu. "

Looking at Zhang Xiaohua's shocked expression, He Tianshu said, "Think about it. Such a martial art that consumes inner strength can be used in a sword art to defeat the enemy. But don't you think it's a bit of a waste to use it on Qing Gong?

Moreover, when you cultivate to the point where you can release Qi, your martial arts will be superb. Your Qing Gong will also be profound. Why do you need to practice such a flashy floating technique? "

Then, He Tianshu came to a conclusion, "Actually, the most important thing is that I have never heard of anyone in the Misty School or the jianghu who can use Qing Gong to float in the air."

Zhang Xiaohua still didn't give up and said, "If there isn't, then why is it recorded in this Ethereal Steps?"

He Tianshu scratched his head and said, "Who knows? Maybe it's a kind of idea and not a real martial art. It's also a real martial art, but you can only practice this kind of Qing Gong when your inner strength is practiced to the extreme.

However, these are not things we can care about. I may be qualified to practice the Qing Gong lifting technique in front, but you don't even have the qualifications to practice this. It's better to practice your Spirit of the Bull and build a solid foundation for your inner strength. "

Hearing He Tianshu say this, Zhang Xiaohua could only stop talking. When it came to martial arts, she was indeed a junior. She didn't have any qualifications to speak in front of He Tianshu.

Then, He Tianshu said, "The Martial Arts Exhibition is about to begin. Zhang Xiaohua, have you really decided to participate?

How are your preparations? "

When Zhang Xiaohua heard about the Martial Arts Exhibition, she immediately became spirited and said excitedly, "Of course, I have already asked Manor Lord Ou to help me sign up. How can I not participate?

Actually, I don't have much to prepare. I already know a set of fist techniques. Now, didn't you teach me the Ethereal Steps? I can use it in the Martial Arts Exhibition. "

He Tianshu nodded and said, "Your sword technique is not suitable for the Martial Arts Exhibition. You can only use your fist techniques with your bare hands."

Then, He Tianshu seemed to have thought of something funny and said with a smile, "But using a fist technique is also quite good. If you really use a weapon, it's not very suitable."

Zhang Xiaohua was stunned and puzzled. She asked, "Not using a weapon? Captain He, what do you mean?"

He Tianshu laughed and said, "You will know when the time comes. It's not good to say it too early. Hahahaha."

Seeing that He Tianshu didn't explain clearly, Zhang Xiaohua didn't ask anymore. She thought to herself, "Isn't it just a martial arts competition? What's the big deal? At most, I will lose."

Then, He Tianshu reminded Zhang Xiaohua to practice the Ethereal Steps more. Perhaps she would lose some face when the time came.

Zhang Xiaohua did not understand what was going on. It was another baffling sentence.

There weren't many days left. Although He Tianshu was constantly trying to comprehend the second level of the Ethereal Steps, in order to not disturb Zhang Xiaohua's preparation, he didn't impart anything to her. And Zhang Xiaohua stayed in the straw hut all day, cultivating the various martial arts she had learned.

Early in the morning, Zhang Xiaohua sat cross-legged and silently chanted a mantra. She slowly absorbed the Qi in her body into her Dantian before slowly opening her eyes. After ten days of bitter cultivation, Zhang Xiaohua faintly felt that the Qi in her meridians seemed to have increased a little. However, she couldn't confirm it.

However, diligence could make up for stupidity.

She had been drawing Qi into her body every day to temper her Qi. Although the progress was slow, it was still improvement. Sooner or later, she would have some achievements.

After finishing her cultivation, Zhang Xiaohua stood up. Just as she walked to the door of the straw hut, she heard a female voice calling her from outside. "Zhang Xiaohua, Zhang Xiaohua, are you here?"

It sounded very unfamiliar. It wasn't Qiu Tong's voice. Zhang Xiaohua hurriedly ran out and saw a girl standing far away. Upon closer inspection, it was Qiu Ju.

Qiu Ju stood far away shyly and called out softly. When she saw Zhang Xiaohua come out, she quickly raised her hand and greeted her.

Zhang Xiaohua lightly ran over and looked at Qiu Ju who was blushing. She asked, "Elder Sister Qiu Ju, is there anything you need from me?"

Qiu Ju said softly, "Miss asked me to inform you that the Martial Arts Exhibition will be held today. She wants you to pack up and go to the inner courtyard. In a while, the Misty School will send someone to pick you up."

Zhang Xiaohua was pleasantly surprised. "Is that so, Elder Sister Qiu Ju? The competition is starting today?

Alright, please wait a moment. I'll go pack up. "

After speaking, she turned to go to the straw hut. But after taking a few steps, she awkwardly came back and said, "Elder Sister Qiu Ju, I don't think there's anything to pack. Let's go now."

Qiu Ju covered her mouth and smiled. "The Martial Arts Exhibition will be held for a few days. Although you don't need to pack anything, you should still put the things in the straw hut into the small house first. There won't be anyone in the medicine field these few days."

When Zhang Xiaohua heard this, she couldn't help but blush. She chuckled and thanked Qiu Ju for the reminder. She quickly ran back to the straw hut and packed up everything. Only after bringing everything back to the small house did she follow Qiu Ju to the inner courtyard.

It was the same small courtyard where they had set off to the south last time. A young man dressed in tight clothes was already impatiently waiting there. He kept pacing back and forth. When he saw Qiu Ju and Zhang Xiaohua walking over, he frowned deeply. Although Zhang Xiaohua was walking behind Qiu Ju, she had long seen the man's displeased expression.

Zhang Xiaohua guessed that perhaps he had waited for too long and was feeling impatient. Thus, she hurriedly took a few steps forward and passed Qiu Ju. She cupped her hands and bowed to the man. "Senior Martial Brother, I'm very sorry to have troubled you."

The man's brows didn't loosen. He coldly looked up and down at Zhang Xiaohua and replied, "I'm very sorry. You're not from our Misty School. I can't accept this' Senior Martial Brother '. Please take it back.

Are you the candidate for this year's Huan Xi Mountain Villa to participate in the Martial Arts Exhibition? "

When Zhang Xiaohua heard this, she was very embarrassed. Usually, she would call Nie Xiao Er and the others as' Senior Martial Brother '. Seeing that this person was about the same age as them, she called him' Senior Martial Brother '. She didn't expect to be rebuffed so quickly. It seemed that this Misty School wasn't all amiable people.

Hearing that person's question, Zhang Xiaohua hurriedly replied, "Yes, this one is participating in the Martial Arts Exhibition."

The corner of the man's mouth pulled down and he sneered. "I heard that Huan Xi Mountain Villa hasn't done such a disappointing thing for many years. It's strange that someone doesn't know what's good for them today. However, looking at your age, there's no harm in it. Hehe, just take it as an eye-opener."

Zhang Xiaohua was puzzled. He wanted to ask what was going on, but the person in front of him looked like he was unapproachable. He did not want to get close to him, so he did not bother to ask. He would find out in a while anyway, so why bother asking now?

Qiuju was at the side. Looking at that person's face, she felt unhappy. Unfortunately, she wasn't Qiu Tong and didn't have Ou Yan's support. Adding on to her weak personality, she didn't know how to criticize that person. She only looked at Zhang Xiaohua who was half a head lower than her and said, "Zhang Xiaohua, I'll send you here. Go with him. The Misty School will naturally have someone to arrange it for you."

Zhang Xiaohua laughed and said, "Okay, Big Sister Qiuju. Thank you. When I win, I'll tell you first when I come back."

Qiuju pursed her lips and smiled. "Okay, we'll wait for your good news.

When you compete, be careful. If you can't win, just admit defeat and don't hurt your body. "

Zhang Xiaohua said, "I know. Big Sister Qiuju, you can go back."

The person next to her snorted and sneered, "Win?

Just don't get beaten up badly.

However, your sister warned you well. Why don't you ask her to embroider a white handkerchief for you with the words' Hero, spare my life '? When you can't win, just throw the handkerchief away. "

When Qiuju heard this, her face turned red with anger.

Zhang Xiaohua was also angry. She stared at that person and said, "What does it have to do with you when we're talking?

Are the people of Huan Xi Manor as cowardly as you say?

Why don't I report this to my Manor Head? What do you think? "

When that person heard her mention Ou Yan, he couldn't help but feel guilty and said, "This …"

Qiuju was a kind person. She quickly smoothed things over and said, "That's enough. Huan Xi Manor and the Misty School are one. It's already late, so let's hurry up and leave."

Seeing Qiuju like this, Zhang Xiaohua also smiled and said, "I know, Big Sister Qiuju."

Then she said to that person, "Why aren't you leaving?

I'm still waiting to be beaten up. "

That person didn't say anything else. He turned around and walked to the tree. He untied the reins tied to the tree and led two horses to Zhang Xiaohua, saying, "Then please get on the horses, great hero."

Looking at the handsome horses in front of her, Zhang Xiaohua was a little dumbfounded. She hesitated and didn't go forward.

That person smiled and said, "Great hero, please get on the horses."

Zhang Xiaohua waved her hand and said, "Forget it. It's only a few steps away. We can just walk. There's no need to ride these horses."

That person didn't give up and said, "Then, then what?

If we don't ride a horse, won't it show that our Misty School has no etiquette?

Please get on the horses. "

Zhang Xiaohua scratched her head and muttered, "But, but, I still don't know how to ride a horse."

That person narrowed his eyes and said, "It's okay. These horses are the most docile. Just sit on it. There's no need to know how to ride a horse."

Zhang Xiaohua didn't believe him and asked, "Really?"

That person patted his chest and said, "Really.

Let's go quickly. We won't make it if we're late. "

Only then did Zhang Xiaohua step forward and said, "Okay then. Don't lie to me."

That person saw that Zhang Xiaohua didn't even know how to get on a horse. He walked to Zhang Xiaohua's side and handed the reins to Zhang Xiaohua. Then he put his hands under Zhang Xiaohua's armpits and used a bit of strength to lift Zhang Xiaohua onto the horse's back. Then he put his feet in the stirrups and hit the horse's butt with his hand and said, "No, how could I lie to you?"

But in her heart she said, "It would be strange if I didn't lie to you."

Then she was surprised, "This youth's physique doesn't look thin or weak. How can he be so light?

How strange. "

After the horse was hit by that person, it immediately let out a long neigh and raised its front hooves, almost throwing Zhang Xiaohua to the ground. It scared Zhang Xiaohua so much that she tightly held onto the reins, her small face somewhat pale.

The horse's front hooves landed on the ground and it immediately exerted force with its back hooves, shooting out like an arrow.

Seeing this, Qiu Ju's expression also changed and said, "How can you do this?

Aren't you afraid that Zhang Xiaohua will get hurt? "

That person laughed and said, "Zhang Xiaohua, haha, a little girl's name.

It's okay, Qiu Ju, right? This horse is very docile. I didn't say anything wrong. It's just that it's a bit fast. Moreover, this old horse knows the way. It won't go anywhere else. "

After saying this, she also pulled the reins and swung the stirrups to get on the horse. With a tug of the reins and a clamp of her legs, she didn't use any strength. The horse spread its hooves and galloped away.

Only Qiu Ju was left looking at the empty small courtyard. She stomped her small feet a few times and turned to enter the inner courtyard.

Zhang Xiaohua fell into that person's trap and almost fell off the horse. Then, the horse galloped out of the small courtyard like lightning.

At the beginning, Zhang Xiaohua tightly held onto the reins of the horse. Her body swayed left and right, almost falling off every time. It scared Zhang Xiaohua so much that her soul almost fell to the ground.

When the horse left the small courtyard and went on a straight path, Zhang Xiaohua's body finally stabilized.

After her body stabilized, Zhang Xiaohua's mind also calmed down. The person from the Misty School was right. The horse was very handsome and had a docile character. Riding on the horse, although it was fast, it was very stable. Not long after, Zhang Xiaohua got used to this speed. Her small buttocks swayed left and right as she slowly adjusted her center of gravity. She liked the feeling of leaving everything behind.

However, before she could enjoy the pleasure of galloping, in front of her was the side door of Huan Xi Manor. Zhang Xiaohua suddenly thought that she didn't know how to stop the horse. What should she do?

Seeing that the side door was getting closer and closer, and the mole on the guard's face could be seen clearly, Zhang Xiaohua's heart skipped a beat. She immediately shouted, "Get out of the way, I'm a newbie. Get out of the way, I'm a newbie."

The guard of Huan Xi Manor had already heard the sound of the horse's hooves and saw two unusually handsome horses galloping out of the small door of the inner courtyard. When the two horses came in, he had already checked and knew that they were brought in by the people from the Misty School. But if the horses wanted to go out, he still had to stop and check. After all, it was his duty. Moreover, he didn't know who was sitting on the horse in front of him. The tall horse only had half of its head exposed, so he couldn't see the face clearly. Who knew who it was?!

But when he saw that the horse was already in front of him and didn't stop, he was puzzled. Then he heard someone shout, "Get out of the way."

The guard sneered and thought to himself, "Get out of the way? How can I get out of the way without checking? How can I let you go out?"

And the last sentence, "I'm a newbie," made him even more puzzled. What did it mean?

But when the horse rushed in front of him and didn't have the slightest intention of stopping, he instantly understood that this was what a "newbie" meant!

The horse rushed straight over with a force of a thousand pounds. Who would dare to stop it directly?

Fortunately, the guard's martial arts were excellent. He immediately dodged and fell to the ground, barely dodging the horse.

When the horse leaped over him, the guard took a peek. Wasn't the person riding on the horse the youth from the medicine field?

What was going on?

When the horse galloped past the side door, the guard jumped up from the ground like a carp and patted the dust off his body. Just as he was about to speak, he heard someone say, "Get out of the way, get out of the way, I have an urgent matter."

The guard thought to himself, "Get out of the way again, could it be a newbie?"

When he raised his head, he saw that the horse behind him had also galloped in front of him and didn't have the slightest intention of stopping. He had no choice but to roll over and fall to the ground.
