Chapter 8 Practice Days (Revisited)
"The matter is done." As soon as Xu Ziling came back, he gave Kou Zhong a big surprise.
"What?" Kou Zhong jumped up happily when he heard this, and said to Xu Ziling happily: "Master Shilong really made you understand? Did he really agree to accept us as apprentices? Wow... I'm so happy, Xiaoling, what did you say, how could he promise you, what did you say to him?"
"I told him that there was an old god in my dream that he wanted him to teach you martial arts." Xu Ziling smiled and said, "You also know that Master Shilong believes in the sayings of ghosts and gods. I also told him that you will be a famous general in the world in the future, so he accepted you very quickly."
"That's great, great." Kou Zhong was so excited that he burst into tears. He kept fighting on the ground. Although he fell clumsyly and covered in mud, he didn't care at all. He lay on the ground and said with satisfaction: "Xiaoling, thank you! Really... If it weren't for you, I, Kou Zhong, wouldn't have a day to stand out at all, and there was no... Huh, wait, what did you say just now? Accept me, just accept me? Where are you, Xiaoling, you?"
"I can listen." Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong laughed and said, "I can definitely become stronger. If I am not as powerful as you, then when you become a general in the future, you can protect me!"
"Okay!" Kou Zhong jumped up on the ground and rushed towards Xu Ziling, roaring with a choking voice: "We are brothers. No matter what happens in the future, if I, Kou Zhong, have a breath, I will protect you. I will definitely not let you bully you! Xiaoling, we will always be brothers, and we will always be like now, and we will never change!"
"We are brothers, always like we are now." Xu Ziling also hugged Kou Zhong tightly and nodded heavily.
A month later, in Shilong's small manor.
Xu Ziling, Kou Zhong and Shi Long sat together and were practicing qigong quietly.
Kou Zhong, who opened the meridians before Shilong's sanitation, practiced the exercises twice the result with half the effort, and made it faster than anyone else's. He listened to Xu Ziling's persuasion and chose the sixth picture in "The Eternal Life Skill", which belongs to Yin, and is responsible for practicing the earth yin energy in the qi of heaven and earth. The opposite is Shilong, who practiced the seventh picture, which belongs to Yang, and the heaven yang energy in the qi of heaven and earth.
The two of them complement each other, and the meridian point is opened early, so the entry will naturally be a thousand miles a day.
This kind of practice speed even Shilong, who had been practicing hard for decades, was amazed at the speed of Shilong.
Kou Zhong and Shi Long practiced the skills and cooperated with each other, so it was natural that they were getting better.
However, Xu Ziling, who was practicing alone, had difficulty getting into the country.
It was very meager after a month.
There are several reasons. First, he does not have a complementary object and is difficult to do it alone; second, he practices the two goals together and is distracted and uses them, so his progress will naturally be much slower; third, his body is not like Kou Zhong, and after the transformation of Shilong's internal strength, the corresponding meridians have not been opened. The weak true qi produced by the practice is difficult to operate at all, and the effect is naturally small.
However, Xu Ziling did not force it.
He had no idea of the true meaning of "The Eternal Life", but when he reached out to take over the book "The Eternal Life", the shining light spot, quietly floating in his consciousness space, suddenly moved.
In his consciousness space, the mystery and essence of "The Eternal Life" are displayed bit by bit and recorded in that small shining point.
At this moment, the small shining light spot began to have a vague connection with Xu Ziling's consciousness.
Although this connection is extremely ethereal, Xu Ziling finally clearly felt its existence through continuous practice. Because he felt that the small light spot was absorbing the energy of his body. When Xu Ziling felt fear and was worried that when his practice was in vain, it would return the energy again. However, the energy returned was much less and much purer than the original one.
It seems to be helping Xu Ziling's body purify energy.
This feeling is more obvious through Xu Ziling's continuous practice.
In the consciousness space, all the true energy cultivated from Xu Ziling will be sucked into the small light spot bit by bit, and after purification of the light jade slip, it will be returned bit by bit.
Although those purified true qi are very few, Xu Ziling can control it easier and more conveniently.
In this way, Xu Ziling's true energy became less and less, and in the end he was only a little left.
However, those true qi are extremely pure, although they are far smaller than a hair, but Xu Ziling can control it to swim freely in his body.
Under this extremely pure true qi silk, any blocked veins are like a door that is hidden.
Although it was not opened, it was easy to control the passage of the true qi silk. This discovery surprised Xu Ziling.
Compared to Kou Zhong and Shi Long who needed to break through one level after another, Xu Ziling took another path of cultivation, or in other words, he was following the real way of cultivation of the Eternal Life Art. Xu Ziling did not tell this secret, and even if he told it, Kou Zhong and Shi Long could not use the same method to practice. They did not have Xu Ziling's light jade slips, so they could only use their method.
"Xiaoling, how have you learned recently?" Kou Zhong not only improved his skills, but his body also grew rapidly with the practice. In just one month, he is now as tall as Xu Ziling. If this continues, he will soon become a big man.
"My entry is not fast, but the foundation is well laid. Don't worry, we have time." Xu Ziling smiled and comforted Kou Zhong in turn.
"Okay, let's work together!" Kou Zhong had a lot of gratitude in his heart, and wanted to say it to Xu Ziling, but he couldn't say it. Finally, he patted Xu Ziling's shoulder and nodded, turning this kind of gratitude into the motivation for practicing. Without Xiaoling, there would be no self now. He gave himself martial arts, knowledge, hope, etc. The only thing he could do now was to practice hard... Thinking of this, Kou Zhong hugged Xu Ziling tightly again.
"Let's practice the word for one more hour at night. It's not okay to be a general and write like a dog." Xu Ziling decided to train Kou Zhong to be both civil and military. He knew that in the future, Kou Zhong would be the emperor sooner or later, and it would not work if he could only fight.
If you want to compete with Li Shimin, Kou Zhong must learn to govern the world, otherwise no matter how powerful or invincible, he will be suppressed everywhere like the two dragons of the Tang Dynasty.
Fortunately, it is only ten years since Daye, and Kou Zhong still has time to study and to catch up with Li Shimin.
And what you need most now.
Become stronger.
"Although I have a headache in practicing calligraphy, I can do it automatically. Do something about yourself." Kou Zhong knew that Xu Ziling's practice was not much, which was mainly related to his lack of time in practice. He was responsible for all the trivial matters in life every day, allowing himself and Master Shilong to practice without any worries, and put all the time off. Kou Zhong understood that Xu Ziling's understanding was far above him. If he practiced with the same conditions, his achievements would never be inferior to himself.
"Okay, I'm about to go to the city." Xu Ziling dripped it, preparing to go back to the city to buy some daily necessities.
Looking at Xu Ziling's figure.
Kou Zhong sighed slightly.
Shi Long stood behind Kou Zhong and whispered: "This Xu Ziling is so interesting. I still can't understand why he is so nice to you?"
"He is my brother... a brother who depends on each other! He has been fists for me, and I can't count them. In the past, we struggled to survive in hunger, steal, escape together, suffer from illness together, and depend on each other. He is my brother, the only brother! People who have not had the same experience will not understand what it means to rely on each other!" Kou Zhong clenched his fists excitedly and proudly.
"Kou Zhong, you are very lucky to have a good brother!" Shi Long nodded slightly, sighed slightly, and said, "I am also very lucky to be able to know him."
Soon, another month passed.
One day after practicing, Xu Ziling suddenly discovered that the small light spot in his consciousness space seemed to be a little bigger.
It has become bigger? What is the solution? Could it be that it has absorbed its true energy? Xu Ziling didn't understand it very much. After a few days of observation, he found that the light spot began to have a faint colorful color on the edge, which was extremely similar and familiar to the colorful light emitted from Bai Wuchang's hand.
The question is, where do these colorful energy come from?
These cannot be my true qi, because my true qi was extremely turbid at the beginning, both black and gray. Even the purified true qi was just a trace of milky white.
So, where do these colorful energy come from?
It took Xu Ziling nearly ten days to figure it out. It turned out that the small light spot that had become a little bigger was absorbed from the world. It was silently absorbing the energy of the world and slowly enhancing itself. As the light spot increased, Xu Ziling's consciousness space also grew larger. Although it seemed that it had only become a little bigger, it also made Xu Ziling very happy.
He was happy that his consciousness space would become larger and larger, and he was also happy that he discovered another way to obtain energy.
From then on, absorbing the pure energy between heaven and earth was the thing Xu Ziling did the most every day.
At dawn and sunrise, he sat under the rising sun and absorbed the qi of the sky.
The moon rises, and he sits under the night moon.
Absorb the qi of earth yin.
Not only that, after he knew that he could absorb the energy between heaven and earth and transform it into true qi, he also practiced all the other five pictures. Although the energy of the body was insufficient, with the supplement from the outside world, after half a month, there was a little bit of colorful true qi in Xu Ziling's dantian.
Xu Ziling's growth rate was far from the absorption of the small light spot, nor was Kou Zhong and Shi Long's joint training, but he was very satisfied.
Although Kou Zhong is fast, he only has one attribute of true energy, and it is the result of Shilong's assistance and indoctrination functions.
There are as many as seven kinds of true qi in Xu Ziling.
The true qi of gold, wood, water, fire, earth, and yin and yang, gather together to form a small ball of light and a small ball of colorful light. At this time, these colorful qi are just some light-like energy, and cannot be emitted from the body like Kou Zhong through control. Once it runs, they will soon melt everywhere in the body. But even so, Xu Ziling's heart is still full of hope.
As he practiced his health, his body improved day by day.
Those colorful true qi strengthened his body and meridians all the time. The more diligent he practiced, the more the true qi increased, and the more gained the body gained. In just three months, Xu Ziling, who turned out to be an ordinary person, had the feeling of a master.
Of course, that's just a feeling.
If he was at this current speed, he would have been able to stop Yu Wen and the tragedy of killing the Rakshasa girl in two years.
When it comes to the crisis, Xu Ziling should solve Wei Zhenzhen's problem before that.
He spent a lot of time traveling to various towns in Yangzhou and had now found Wei Zhenzhen's residence. She has not married Baozi Laofeng as a concubine yet. However, according to his father's bad gambling and squandering, the fate of selling her to Baozi Laofeng as a concubine will not be far away!
What Xu Ziling has to do now is to practice hard.
Practice, then practice.
Be stronger, become stronger.
Save people, save people again.
Xu Ziling thought so in his heart.
Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling had a little different thoughts. Kou Zhong was thinking about the only general who was waiting for him in the future. He was fantasizing about how to eat big pieces of meat, drink big bowls, and the days when the little beauty was serving him. Every time he thought of him dividing half of everything at that time, and Xu Ziling was moved, he often smiled secretly.
Kou Zhong smiled proudly and proudly.
Wait, Xiaoling, one day, I will double all the things back to you, because you are my good brother and will never change in your life!
Kou Zhong looked at Xu Ziling, who always practiced martial arts silently, cooked food silently, placed it on the table silently, and then returned to a dark corner to practice martial arts diligently, and said this in his heart.
Of course, Xu Ziling knew that if he practiced like this now, there would be hope for the future.
The only thing I lack is time.
Kou Zhong is also the case. If Kou Zhong wants to dominate the world in the future, he will be far behind when he builds a gang and works hard in the future. He should start now, but he cannot start building power now. Therefore, his time will be more urgent than himself. In order to give Kou Zhong more time to practice martial arts, Xu Ziling is automatically responsible for doing all the tedious things, such as cooking.
During the break, Xu Ziling always talked about military tactics, personnel, political affairs, talent, and governance with Kou Zhong, and talked about many things that even Shilong was inexplicably and incredible.
Kou Zhong was even more diligent and practiced hard every day, and it took a thousand miles to enter the country.
Another month has passed, and apart from practicing, the three people who are addicted to it rarely speak, especially Shi Long. Perhaps seeing the efforts of Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling made him feel motivated and stressed, so Shi Long practiced much more diligently than the two, and often remained silent. Kou Zhong spent the longest time with him. Under his influence, Kou Zhong, who loves to talk, also spoke less. When Xu Ziling talked to him about strategies and military affairs, most of them were Xu Ziling. He listened quietly, after listening to a few questions, then nodded and went back to practice.
Over the long run, Xu Ziling felt that the three of them had over-practice.
Why, they all seemed a little autistic.
In order to get Kou Zhong and Shi Long out of the dullness, Xu Ziling decided to go on a hiking trip, maybe let go of practice and go out to relax, and his mood can be further improved.
"Master Shilong, Xiao Zhong, we practice our skills every day and practice hard all the time. This will have an impact on our state of mind. Why not go out for a walk, go out to see the flowing water of the mountains and forests, and feel nature, which may also help our state of mind cultivation." Xu Ziling suggested.
"Okay, this method is good." Shi Long doesn't like going out, but he nodded and agreed that day, saying, "You go back to Yangzhou first to prepare the essentials."
"Xiaoling, you don't have to rush back tonight. Help me see Xingrong. I haven't seen him for a long time. I don't know how he is now..." Kou Zhong also said: "If we go far, it's better to prepare more food and try to prepare more. Maybe we're having fun and won't come back for ten days and a half months."
"I knew your temperament could not stand loneliness, haha." Xu Ziling laughed and went out to Yangzhou.
After Xu Ziling left, Shi Long and Kou Zhong's faces gradually dimmed.
They looked at Xu Ziling's back for a long time, sighed at the same time, and shook their heads at the same time.
Chapter completed!
