Chapter 30 The Secret of the Deficient
"Senior, I want to borrow this martial arts." Qin Shuang returned to the lobby on the first floor, respectfully handed the "Looking Dragon and Exploring the Casting Hand" to the old man in the ink robe for inspection. At the same time, he took out a red and blue bamboo piece with "one thousand" and "five hundred" written on it, and placed it on the table in front of the old man in the ink robe.
"Hmm? The dragon's acupoint search hand?" The old man in the ink robe glanced at Qin Shuang meaningfully and said with a smile: "Your eyes are very unique. No one has ever borrowed this acupoint method. However, although it is unique, it is very difficult to practice. Do you really plan to learn it? Don't waste time in the end and practice it into the four-dimensional world again."
Qin Shuang knew that he was kind to remind him, hugged his fists and smiled and said, "Thank you for telling me that you have the confidence to practice it well!"
The old man ink robe put away the bamboo slices on the table and said, "I just said it casually. Anyway, it's your own business, so you won't regret it. It's just a pity that although this acupoint method is good, the content of the secret book is lacking..."
"Ah?" Qin Shuang was shocked, and then he cursed the old man in the ink robe in his heart. If you knew that the content of this set of martial arts secrets was lacking, why didn't you say it earlier, but you had to collect his credit points first and then say it? He could see that if he wanted to get the credit points back with the old man in the ink robe and exchange it for another set of martial arts secrets now, it would be unlikely, but isn't this cheating?
He asked nervously: "What do you mean by this senior? Is there a lot of content in this set of "Looking for Dragons and Touching the Castings"?"
The old man in the ink robe curled his lips and said, "Or why do you think "Looking Dragon and Hiding the Casting Hand" is so cheap? The part of the technique is complete, but the part of the body technique is missing. If it is not for the lack of content, the price will be at least 9,000 points." As he said that, his eyes narrowed slightly, he stared at Qin Shuang from the corner of his eyes, trying to see how he reacted.
When Qin Shuang heard this, he was stunned at first, then he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "It turns out that the body movement part is missing, so it's okay, as long as the technique part is not missing."
He knew that the body technique of "Looking Dragon and Touching the Casting Hand" may indeed be magical, but the nine-turn step technique taught to him by Shen Qi is also varied and has endless wonderful uses.
It should be noted that "Bat Knife" Shen Qi was a famous lone thief in the world. His light skills and body skills were excellent, and he should not be much worse than the original body skills of this martial arts. Qin Shuang believes that as long as the two are well matched, he can probably use the normal power of the "Looking Dragon and Touching the Casting Hand".
It seemed that Qin Shuang was not only not deceived, but his face was relaxed. This reaction made the old man in the ink robe a little dissatisfied. He snorted and said in a deep voice: "Isn't it as easy as you think? People are not plants and trees, can they stand in front of you like a piece of wood, and let you click acupoint at will? No matter how exquisite the martial arts are, if you lose the cooperation and support of your footwork, you will be in vain in the end!"
He believed that Qin Shuang must not understand the importance of footwork in acupoint-like martial arts, and emphasized it in particular with a tone. He still hoped to slightly undermine the confidence of this young man who did not take his words seriously.
Qin Shuangyun smiled lightly. Naturally, he could not honestly confess to the old man in the ink robe that he had learned a set of exquisite light skills, which was no different from seeking death.
He didn't want to continue to worry about this issue, and asked: "Disciple also wants to ask me about my senior, what is this monster Luo Yun? It's very famous? "
The old man in the ink robe was a little unhappy about Qin Shuang's appearance at all, feeling like he was stuck in his throat, as if he was less fun. However, although he was impatient, he still reluctantly said: "Nonsense, five hundred years ago, the monster Luo Yun was a powerful man in the famous town. His martial arts skills were unique, especially the magic of acupuncture points, which was elusive and could not resist. Even the world's number one person, Xiao Lingzi, who has been recognized for hundreds of years, was greatly impressed by the martial arts at that time."
"Senior Xiao Lingzi?" Qin Shuang was slightly shocked when he heard this name, and said in surprise: "Senior Xiao Lingzi and Luo Yun Wei Ke are people from the same period?"
The old man ink robe looked at Qin Shuang and said, "Xiao Lingzi has a great reputation. No one has been able to surpass him for hundreds of years. No wonder you, a junior, knows his name. Yes, they are all martial arts masters who emerged during the same period and a generation of masters. Hundreds of years ago, the world was in turmoil and disputes were launched. The so-called times created heroes. The war that lasted for hundreds of years finally divided the world into four major countries. At the same time, a group of masters like Xiao Lingzi and Luo Yun Weike emerged."
Qin Shuang said thoughtfully, today the four major countries, Ningguo, Xinguo, Cangguo, and the Mirror Kingdom where he lives now. These four countries have their own vast territory and huge population. Moreover, in this environment where martial arts is the most respected, each country is full of sects and strong people; each has its own characteristics and is good at winning the game.
"Okay, okay, saliva is more than tea. I have talked too much today. If you have nothing to do, just get out of here and don't harass me again!" The old man in the ink robe said a bit hatefully, then closed his eyes, raised his legs, and never looked at Qin Shuang again.
Seeing this, Qin Shuang didn't dare to say anything more, but still respectfully bowed to the old man ink robe, then picked up the book "Looking for the Dragon and Touching the Casting" and gently retreated.
...
Whenever it was night, the medicine house became very quiet, and there was no one there. The disciples who worked here during the day, including Du Jitong, had already gone down the mountain to rest in the evening.
As for Teng Qu, he was already very irritable about staying in the room to organize books, and he hurried to practice before the evening, for fear that he would lose too much martial arts.
So over the past month, Qin Shuang has roughly figured out the environment and the work and rest of the people around the medicine house, knowing that as long as the night goes, there will basically be no outsiders coming.
The only thing that made Qin Shuang feel strange was that during this period, he had never seen Tang Ling, the owner of the Medicine House, before, and Du Jitong did not appear again.
Later, Qin Shuang asked and found out that Tang Ling took Du Jitong to the mountains to collect herbs, so she was not in the Medicine House.
However, Qin Shuang is not in a hurry to see Tang Ling now. The borrowing time for each martial arts is only three months. He needs to hurry up and see if he can get the introduction to the "Looking Dragon and Touching the Casting" in these three months.
Since he learned that Luo Yun’s monster is actually a senior expert who can almost go along with Xiao Lingzi, Qin Shuang’s enthusiasm for “seeking dragons and exploring acupoints” has increased a lot, and he has higher expectations for this unique acupoint technique.
Therefore, as soon as the night came to an end, Qin Shuang couldn't wait to light up the oil lamp and began to read this secret book with only more than ten pages.
As the old man in the ink robe in Wanjuanlou said, the secret book of this book "Looking for Dragons and Touching the Castings" only has the second half, but lacks the first half.
After reading it extensively, Qin Shuang realized that although the secrets in the second half are very thin, there are really a lot of content.
The "Looking Dragon and Touching the Cave Hand" techniques are divided into six types: chopping, pointing, slapping, grabbing, bumping, and kicking, including palm techniques, fingering, claw techniques, elbow techniques, leg techniques, etc. Although there are only thirty-six moves, they are ever-changing when combined. It is conceivable that if you fight with flexible and changeable body techniques, you will definitely dazzle the enemy.
Although the martial arts of acupoints are generally believed to be mainly used to subdue the opponent rather than killing the opponent, Qin Shuang believes that if the acupoints can only be used to subdue the opponent, then the Luo Yun monster is simply impossible to become a strong man as famous as Xiao Lingzi.
These thirty-six styles of "Looking Dragon and Touching the Acupoint" obviously cover all the key points and fatal points around the human body. If used well, once the fatal point is hit, it would be strange if the opponent does not die!
Of course, the basis of all this is based on the premise that practitioners of "Looking Dragon and Hiding Acupoints" are very familiar with the human acupoints. As the saying goes, it is easy to click acupoints and difficult to recognize them. Not only should we clarify the names of meridians and acupoints, but we should also be familiar with the locations of each acupoint and the relationship between meridians and organs.
This may be difficult for others, but it is Qin Shuang's strengths.
After crossing the most difficult hurdle to recognize acupoints in the beginning, coupled with the previous experience of practicing the "Nine-Turn-Breaking Jade Finger", Qin Shuang's subsequent practice became natural.
More than a month passed in a flash. Perhaps even Qin Shuang himself did not expect that the progress of practicing the "Looking Dragon and Hiding the Acupoint Hand" would be so smooth. This unique acupoint technique seemed to belong to him, and there was almost no obstacle to practicing.
He originally thought that three months might be enough to get started with the "Looking Dragon's Acupoint Explorer", but now he has only taken a little over a month to have 50% or 60% of the heat. He is already very skilled in the techniques of hitting acupoints, pointing acupoints, cutting acupoints, sealing acupoints, closing acupoints, closing acupoints, holding acupoints, etc., and all he lacks is practical training.
What surprised him even more was that the combination of the Nine-Turning Steps and the "Looking Dragon and Exploring the Casting Hand" technique was completely natural and integrated. With the internal strength of the "Guanghan Jue", the "Looking Dragon and Exploring the Casing Hand" also seemed to have initial power.
It was not until this time that Qin Shuang felt that he truly had martial arts that were consistent with his current peak meridian cultivation level, and finally had a certain foundation.
Qin Shuang estimated that his current cultivation level should be able to steadily overcome formal disciples such as Xia Dingshan and Zhang Linlu, who are both peaks of meridian training. Even if he encounters early stage of the true meridian or even some middle-stage disciples with poor cultivation, he will have the power to fight.
In Chengyuan Wuzong, as long as it is Lei Min and Meng Sidie, the top experts, should not be present. Qin Shuang believes that no one can see that part of his martial arts is passed down from the "Bat Sword" Shen Qi.
