Putting aside the fact that the fourth prince has been unlucky recently, crying every day and making people sigh, Lu Hanjiang's Xiaoyao Sect's internal strength has made great progress.
When Lu Hanjiang practiced the internal strength formula that Xi Qiu gave him, he did not encounter the difficulties and bottlenecks she mentioned. After practicing all the way, it was as easy as eating and drinking.
In just one month, he has mastered the internal skills of the Xiaoyao Sect. If he fights with his face again with his face covered, his martial arts can be used to conceal his skills. Those who have no vision will think that he is a wild fox Zen. Those with good eyesight will naturally do it to him. Everything was recorded in Xiaoyao Sect's account.
This also solved a very embarrassing problem that Lu Hanjiang had always had, that is, although he was incredibly strong, he had never learned any serious martial arts.
Although Jin Yiwei contains some martial arts from various sects in the world, the records in it are not about how to practice, but how to crack them. The real martial arts that Jin Yiwei teaches is Border Army Kung Fu, which is not much better than Taizu Changquan.
Then what kind of martial arts does Taizu Changquan count? If you practice well, you can be invincible with one punch, but if you practice poorly, you can't even stand firm, and even the waiter serving tea and water in the inn can dance twice. It can be imagined that there is a difference between the upper and lower limits of this thing. How outrageous.
Those who stand out in the Jinyi Guards basically have their own unique skills. For example, the new chief minister Wu Qiming is good at concealed weapons, and Qianhu Yan Feng is good at spear skills.
Ever since, this has led to a more subtle issue. If it is a business trip, then of course there is nothing to say. Just say to others, I am the Jin Yiwei Lu Hanjiang. Safekeeping is more of a deterrent than any martial arts.
But he would occasionally hide his identity on weekdays, or simply pretend to be someone else's identity and walk around. Look at those knights-errants, such as the head of Huashan, who uses the Huashan swordsmanship, and then says, "I'm a Huashan businessman." They are so stylish. .
Let's see what he can say again, is Lu Hanjiang at Xiacunkou?
This is one of the reasons why Lu Hanjiang doesn't like to take action. People are exchanging business blows, so he must first understand the martial arts methods clearly, and then he can have something to say. Otherwise, what if people point at him in the future and say, this guy is the best in the world with one hand? Invincible, then he doesn't want to lose his face anymore.
With a sense of pleasure of clearing the clouds and seeing the sun, Lu Hanjiang met Xi Qiu for the second time at the mountain temple. This time, Xi Qiu did not make any elaborate appearances, but stayed directly in the temple, waiting. He arrives.
When the two met, Xi Qiu didn't ask any questions. He came up with a set of palm techniques. The palm technique of volleying down seemed to be facing the enemy head on, but the palm power was erratic. If it was an ordinary person, the five internal organs would be displaced if he was not careful.
Although Xi Qiu's palm skills were exquisite, in Lu Hanjiang's eyes, the scattered and flying palm winds were no different from the movement of a turtle. He took immeasurable steps and dodged Xi Qiu's attack "just right".
A trace of surprise flashed in Xi Qiu's eyes. She calmed down and closed her palms. She looked at Lu Hanjiang with slight admiration and said, "I never thought that you have such talent in martial arts. In just one month, you mastered Xiaoyao Neigong. .”
From Xi Qiu's point of view, although she did not attack with all her strength, the white rainbow palm power was Xiaoyao's secret skill after all. If Lu Hanjiang could barely dodge, it must be because of his successful internal skills.
"I wanted to teach you some internal skills, but now it seems that I have underestimated you." Xi Qiu said.
"Thank you, senior sister, for your advice." Lu Hanjiang was very polite and did not mention the fact that she had failed all her palm skills just now.
Xi Qiu turned over his hand and took out a secret book. On the simple cover page, the writing had long been blurred by the erosion of time, and he could only vaguely see the lines of giant beasts that looked like birds but not birds leaping up at the bottom of the page.
"This is the secret book of martial arts that records Xiaowuxiang Kung. Please keep it." If Xi Qiu guessed the "great progress" in her martial arts by observing the sky at night, it is obviously impossible. She could easily take out this secret book, probably This is something she always carries with her.
"Thank you, senior sister." With the things in hand, Lu Hanjiang's lingering annoyance due to the trivial matters these days finally disappeared at this moment.
"Although the secret book has been handed over to me, I still have to remember the key points of this Kung Fu." Xi Qiu instructed.
Lu Hanjiang was not in a hurry to look through it. He put away the secret book and asked respectfully, "Sister, please tell me."
Unexpectedly, Xi Qiu shook her head and refused. She said: "Although the secret book of Xiaowuxiang Gong is kept by me, I have not explored its secrets."
"Then... what should we do?" Lu Hanjiang was a little confused. He wouldn't let him cross the river by feeling the stones.
Fortunately, his cheap senior sister still has a conscience. She just heard her say: "You have a senior brother who studied this secret book with your brother before his death. You can go and ask him for advice."
Although it sounds like a lot of trouble, it is better than having no way. Lu Hanjiang immediately asked: "I wonder which senior brother, where is he now?"
"He is also in the capital at the moment." Xi Qiu said.
Hearing this, Lu Hanjiang narrowed his eyes, hid a hand in his sleeve, and asked without changing his expression: "Senior sister, may I ask if the other senior brothers and sisters are also in the capital?"
"Exactly."
Xi Qiu answered happily. This time she did not use the excuse of poor martial arts to prevaricate Lu Hanjiang. Maybe she saw his "extraordinary talent", so this time, she planned to tell him frankly.
But before that, Xi Qiu asked Lu Hanjiang this question: "Junior brother, have you ever thought about why Xiaoyao sent only seven disciples in your and my generation?"
"Vendetta?" Lu Hanjiang guessed.
"Yes and no."
Xi Qiu took a deep breath, and his calm tone finally had some waves: "In those days, except for the senior brother, there were hundreds of members of the Xiaoyao sect who did not survive, and it was the imperial court and the Jin Yiwei who killed them. "
"What?" Lu Hanjiang was really surprised this time, because he had never heard of such a thing.
"Elder brother once told me that it happened before you and I were born."
Xi Qiu let out a faint sigh and talked about that dusty past: "In the time of the late emperor, a foreign envoy once sent a stone. No one knew its purpose, only that it came from outside. At that time, it was Master and A group of masters and uncles approached the current majesty, who was just one of the late emperor's princes at that time, and offered the Xiaoyao sect's full assistance to him in exchange for the stone.
Your Majesty agreed, but after Your Majesty ascended the throne, he regretted it. He forced Master to tell the secret of the stone, and he did not hesitate to threaten the survival of the entire Xiaoyao Sect. Master had no choice but to tell His Majesty, split the stone, and took it out. There is jade hidden in it.
At that time, the master had already regretted it. He begged your majesty to unlock the secret of the jade stone in exchange for allowing the brothers and sisters to leave safely. The day the secret was revealed.
His Majesty kept his promise on the surface, but secretly ordered his confidants. At that time, Meng Yuan, who was officially worshiped as the commander of the Jinyiwei, led the Jinyiwei elite to kill the master and his party on the way back. Except for the senior brother who faked his death and escaped, no one else was spared.
The Xiaoyao sect was almost wiped out in this way. Later, not only you, but also your brother and I became disciples on behalf of our master. "
"Such a tragedy happened back then..." Lu Hanjiang said sadly.
"Junior brother," Xi Qiu looked into Lu Hanjiang's eyes and said pointedly: "You are a smart man. Your brother's willingness to possess Senior Brother Jiwei has something to do with him knowing this secret. You are his relative." Brother, you should understand the importance of this."
Lu Hanjiang nodded indignantly: "Senior sister, don't worry, your eldest brother's ambition is my ambition, and I will definitely not betray you."
After that, he jokingly said: "Brother has boarded the pirate ship a long time ago. This is a big matter that will be implicated. Junior brother will definitely not do such a stupid thing unless he is desperate for his life."
"As long as you understand." Xi Qiu nodded lightly.
"It's just, senior sister," Lu Hanjiang couldn't help but be curious and asked: "What is the secret of that jade that has harmed Xiaoyao Sect to such an extent? Could it be that there is some unique martial arts secret book in it?"
"No."
Xi Qiu shook his head and said with a look of fascination: "I heard from senior brother that the secret hidden in the jade stone is the method of immortality."
