The bandit issue was settled fairly well.
After nearly half of the people in the bandit camp were killed in a surprise attack, the remaining prisoners were escorted back to Cangshui County. Those who tried to resist or escape on the way were killed again, and the remaining prisoners were temporarily imprisoned.
It is said that depending on how they were imprisoned, after interrogation, one group will be beheaded in public according to the law, and the other group will be assigned to hard labor.
Li Erhu's brothers were all able to return to Songhe Martial Arts Hall in the name of "undercover".
Logically speaking, even if they were undercover agents, they would at least leave their transcripts of their confessions with the county government, just because this victory was so complete.
In addition, Magistrate Gao was thinking of ways to eliminate those direct descendants of the Huang family among the county officials, and the manpower was temporarily stretched, so he made special arrangements and directly asked Li Erhu and the others to come back.
In fact, Magistrate Gao really wanted Su Hanshan to stay there to help him because of the shortage of people.
But Su Hanshan didn't understand the affairs of the county government, and he didn't have the will. After thanking him several times, he left the county government.
Life has limits, but learning has no limits. If you want to achieve something in life, you cannot cover everything. It is best to distinguish your strengths and weaknesses, and use your strengths and avoid weaknesses.
Su Hanshan knew very well what his advantages were over the years, and his interest in martial arts was far greater than dealing with trivial matters. Naturally, it was best to go home and practice martial arts.
As for the internal affairs of the martial arts hall, with his senior brother here, he doesn't need to worry about it.
In the battle that night, the eldest brother and others had already shown their abilities after recovery. Magistrate Gao and the Lei family had a tacit understanding and did not ask how they recovered.
Afterwards, Senior Brother and the others will naturally have the opportunity to act openly and reconnect with their old connections.
The recent changes in the situation, the movements of various families, etc., after the senior brother and the others receive the news, they will also come back to mention the key points.
"The Lei family seems not to have been too sure about the opportunity to gain fame and fortune by suppressing bandits recently."
"The county government has pointed out the achievements of Lei Guanzhu and Lei Baishi. However, many people in the Lei family tried their best to praise Lei Rulong's performance in the subsequent raid on the bandit camp. They did not even use their efforts to do this kind of thing. , if it really encounters turmoil, it will definitely cause a lot of trouble."
"I think after Miss Lei comes back, Hall Master Lei will really start to rectify things."
Zhou Zifan set up a table of tea and pastries in the backyard of the restaurant. While drinking tea, he talked about recent events.
"It's more convenient for us here. All the credit goes to the second uncle. I'm vague about the identity of the undercover. I just say that he sent the undercover, planned the plan, contacted the county government, and killed the bandit leader. He beheaded it."
"Tsk, I see many old friends now have wonderful expressions on their faces when they mention my second uncle, as if they just met him today."
Su Hanshan couldn't help laughing and said with a smile: "Anyway, what we told is the truth."
It's a pity that the second uncle is impatient of sociability. He has been in the mountains recently, supervising the rebuilding of the martial arts school. These favors are all handled by the senior brother.
Zhou Ji Restaurant has been closed for a while.
Those who have recovered can have their own things to do. Those who have not recovered can take a good rest. Now they are no longer in urgent need of the money they earn from cooking every day.
"Well, at least 90% true."
Zhou Zifan smiled and nodded, his face a little more serious, "The Wang family has been very silent since the news of the two days of suppressing bandits spread. Wang Gucheng has not shown up for many days, and the disciples of their martial arts school seem to be panicked. .”
"After discussing with people, I doubted whether he had left Cangshui County."
Su Hanshan was stunned: "You mean he will run away?"
"He is different from the Huang and Liu families. He doesn't have that much clan heritage, and now he has a mortal feud with the Huang family, and he also has a feud with us. The Huang family is already more powerful than him, and we have also shown our current strength. He It wouldn’t be surprising if he left.”
Zhou Zifan said, "But whether he can leave or not, we only need a little energy to be on guard. The more troublesome ones are the Huang and Liu families."
"Recently, the Huang family seems to be too cooperative with the various measures taken by the county government. Apart from organizing funerals, they seem to be unable to come up with any means of response. Their influence among county officials and local industries continue to shrink. "
Su Hanshan said seriously: "With this kind of performance, either they have completely resigned themselves to their fate, or they are concentrating on making other preparations."
Zhou Zifan sighed: "But with the temperament of the Huang family, it's probably the second possibility. We don't have any good solution, we can only try to be as vigilant as possible."
Su Hanshan thought for a while and took out a booklet.
Zhou Zifan took it over and took a look and found that it was the "Six Tao Mind Methods".
After Su Tieyi got Yin Kang's armor, when he was free the next day, he found that the inside of the armor was engraved with civil servants, generals and four animal shapes.
The lines used to outline portraits and animal figures are actually arranged in extremely small fonts, which is the content of the Six Tao Mental Method.
It's a pity that Songhe Martial Arts Hall can't gather six formation practitioners, and for those who are less than Qihai Daqi, it is very difficult to learn even one of the mental techniques.
Su Hanshan had mentioned whether to share this with the county government, but considering that the current situation within the county government and the Lei family was not stable, he gave up the idea for the time being.
When the three parties finally divided up the spoils, only the "Long Night Ghost Flame Spectrum" was shared among the three parties in terms of skills.
"I have experienced all six mental methods recently. Although one person cannot set up the formation, the effect of these mental methods on tempering internal energy alone is not as good as the three pure Yang methods."
Su Hanshan said, "But I found that if one divides one's internal energy into six parts, corresponding to six attributes, then when taking action, the circulation of the six qi can produce a feeling that is almost like letting the internal energy go and come back."
"For example, if my punch originally cost one power, then if I possess the Six Tao Mental Techniques, and after my fist hits the target, all the power will explode, but three points of my power will be absorbed back. This recoil The skill will stimulate me to recover my inner breath faster and increase my strength by three points."
"It's equivalent to using only four points of my skill to punch a punch with a full force."
When Zhou Zifan heard this, his face showed surprise.
After tempering the three pure Yang methods, the internal energy explodes wildly, the power is very strong, but the consumption is also very serious.
That night, after Zhou Zifan unleashed his "yin and yang energy", he immediately lost his strength.
Su Tieyi fought three people in a row. He seemed to have no external injuries, but the next day his face was bloodless and he couldn't eat. It was a problem of the burden on the meridians and the return of Qi. If it weren't for Rama's mind, I'm afraid he would have to kill Yin Kang before he killed him. Vomited some blood.
"This Six Tao Mind Technique has such wonderful effects. It is worthy of being passed down from the legendary Buzhou Palace in the West."
Zhou Zifan sighed with emotion.
When Yin Kang was dying that day, he mentioned Xiji and Tiandu, and Zhou Zifan and others found out about his martial arts background.
The Buzhou Palace in the West was the state religion of the previous dynasty. After the previous dynasty was destroyed and the Chu State was founded, it had already moved away from the Central Plains.
However, there is a similar rule in martial arts holy places all over the world, that is, if the disciples in the sect have exhausted their potential and it is difficult to make progress in martial arts, and they can pass the "teacher" qualification test, they can open branches outside. , pass on the martial arts you know.
Therefore, in any holy land of martial arts, there are countless branches, and the relationship between many branches and the main line is so thin that it can be ignored.
Therefore, more than 500 years after the founding of Da Chu, there are still martial arts from Buzhou Palace in the West that can be spread in this land.
The founder of Songhe Martial Arts School is said to be from Tiandu Immortal Mansion, that's what it is.
"Senior Brother, you have been busy and tired these days, but now you are on the right track. It's time to practice more martial arts in the future."
Su Hanshan said, "If you break through to the ladder realm, we will go directly to the Huang family, kill their main force, and drain the firepower, so we don't have to be so passive."
Zhou Zifan smiled and said: "Don't worry, junior brother, I won't change the priorities. These days, I am actually watching "The Night of Ghost Flames" and trying my best to improve my fighting skills."
"It's just that I have been cultivating to the perfect state of Qi Sea for a long time. It is always a bit difficult to capture the inspiration to step into the ladder. But junior brother, you should start preparing now."
Su Hanshan said in surprise: "What are you preparing for? I'm still five or six revolutions away from completing the Qi Sea."
Zhou Zifan shook his head and explained.
"The word ladder refers to the human spine. The so-called stepping into the realm of ladder means starting to temper the tail vertebrae and officially entering the level of rebirth."
"If you want to temper the tail vertebrae, there are three key points. One is the strength of the skill, the second is the degree of control over the skill, and the third is the tempering method."
"The difficulty of these three increases in sequence. The strength of the skill is the easiest to achieve."
It is said that a long time ago, when the major realms of martial arts were not yet established and perfected, some people would fumble into higher realms after turning twenty-four times in the Qi Sea.
At that time, the great achievement of Qihai was equal to the peak of Qihai.
It's just that for those who do that, nine hundred out of a thousand will fail, ninety will go wrong and suffer self-inflicted damage, nine will have increased combat power but are in serious trouble, and maybe only one can barely be considered a success.
Therefore, later on, the requirements for the strength of the Qi Sea realm were raised to the thirty-sixth level.
The degree of control over skill is complementary to the tempering method.
Because the steps of rebirth are extremely complicated and delicate, no mistakes can be made. If the internal strength is not controlled enough, it will inevitably fail and may even damage your spine.
The last and most difficult point is the tempering method.
Although the seniors in the martial arts have already figured out a very mature method of tempering the ladder, there are no two identical leaves in this world, and no two people have the same physique.
No matter how good the methods of the predecessors are, they can only be regarded as 99% completed. The last bit of progress always needs to be fine-tuned by the martial arts practitioner's understanding of his own physique.
In this era, the vast majority of warriors who have reached the perfect state of Qi Sea are stuck on the last minute adjustment.
The human body is too complex, and there are many human feelings that cannot be described by words and words. If you want to complete the fine-tuning, you need to grasp the correct feeling and summarize it into an orderly train of thought.
For those who practice martial arts, only when they first reach the perfect state of Qi Sea, they will have the most novel perception of their own body, and it is easiest to inspire that kind of inspiration.
As time goes by and you get used to it, it becomes harder to be inspired.
Therefore, it is said that the faster a person cultivates in the Qi Sea realm, the more he needs to work hard to pass that level.
"Your strength has improved too fast. It will definitely be too late to learn the method of tempering the ladder until you are only two or three rounds away from the end."
Zhou Zifan persuaded earnestly, "So you should take advantage of now to learn thoroughly about how to temper the ladder of the three pure Yang methods and give it a try."
"At that time, it will be possible to seize the spiritual enlightenment in one fell swoop and complete the fine-tuning."
