Finding a hidden practitioner or a group of practitioners is a very complicated and troublesome matter.
Therefore, after the girl from the Maiden Sect accidentally appeared, in addition to the academy where several disciples died, they may still be tracing her whereabouts, but neither Shanjiguan nor Guiyuan Temple continued to search.
Because of this kind of thing, you may spend a lot of time, energy and manpower, but in the end there will still be no results.
But the situation and nature of the matter this time were different.
Those men in black are too dangerous.
Moreover, these people actually tried to ambush the entire Shan Ji Guan's heavenly guards and wanted to catch them all in one go, which showed that they definitely wanted to plan an earth-shattering event in Jing City.
So this time, one view, one temple and one academy were prepared to dig three feet into Jingcheng at all costs to find those men in black.
Of course, the so-called joint action does not mean that the disciples of one temple, one temple, and one academy all go out to look for people on the streets of Jingcheng every day.
It is impossible to find a group of practitioners who are deliberately hiding.
But if you really want to find it, there are still some ways.
For example, if a group of practitioners gather together, even if they don't practice normally, the spiritual energy of the world and the world around them will be abnormal.
And this kind of abnormal movement of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth will cause some special phenomena.
If you pay close attention, you can always find some clues.
It's just that Jingcheng is too big and has too many people. In such a city, finding a place with abnormal spiritual energy is slightly easier than finding a needle in a haystack.
But now, with every sight, temple and academy, I am preparing to find a needle in a haystack.
It's just that this is not something that can be accomplished overnight, and you can't completely ignore other things just because you are looking for those men in black. Someone still needs to deal with the daily supernatural events.
Therefore, one temple, one academy, and one academy could only select disciples in turn to form a joint search team to carefully search for the whereabouts of those men in black in Jing City every day.
The first people sent out by Shan Ji Guan were An Zichun and Sang Li, while the others were still in Guan in case other supernatural things happened.
As for Shu Guan, the task Li Zhixia gave him was to practice well.
Everyone in Shan Si Guan now knows that as long as the younger brother's spiritual power increases by one point, Shan Si Kuan's strength increases by one point.
If the junior disciple can reach the level of perfect Zhou Tian Gong, it will be equivalent to having a strong person in the Fetal Movement Realm in their Shanjing Guan.
Even though this Fetal Movement Realm powerhouse can only last for a short period of time, he is still a Fetal Movement Realm powerhouse after all.
Therefore, Shuguan's life rhythm returned to the state of guarding the mountain gate, distributing newspapers, and fishing for cultivation.
As for what he practiced, it was fighting tactics.
…
"First of all, you need to know that fighting tactics are techniques, not Tao."
"It is more of a skill, the skill of controlling one's own power and using one's own power. The power here refers to not only the physical power, but also the spiritual power in the body."
"Fighting can be more than just physical combat!"
"Ordinary practitioners, when they use Taoist magic to fight against the enemy, it seems to be very powerful, but almost 70% of the power is wasted. It is already very remarkable to be able to actually use 50% of the power to fall on the enemy. .”
"The purpose of practicing fighting tactics is to perfectly control our own power and accurately use all our power to attack the enemy."
The senior brother picked up a banana on the stone table in the pavilion and said so.
"Since fighting tactics are more importantly a skill, then just having talent is not enough. The most important thing is to master a skill proficiently, persevere, and practice repeatedly."
The senior brother threw the banana in his hand into the air, then he held the monkey's paw and punched the banana.
The banana was still falling straight from the air, and it did not change its original trajectory because of the big brother's punch.
However, the banana peel was blown into pieces by the big brother's punch. Then the big brother raised his head, opened his mouth, and the intact snow-white banana flesh accurately fell into his mouth.
...Senior Brother did not know how many bananas he used to make this punch...
Shu Guan thought so.
The senior brother finished eating the banana and smiled at Shuguan.
"So the first lesson in formally practicing fighting tactics is to peel bananas."
"Peel it with your fist first."
"Use the flying sword to cut again."
"Well, you have to learn the art of attracting lightning first. When you can use a thunder from the sky to split the banana peel without damaging the banana flesh, then your fighting skills will be your first glimpse. "
…
Peeling a banana is naturally an easy task, but it is by no means easy to peel a banana using the big brother's method.
This is a very complex and even voluminous cultivation process.
Senior Brother said that fighting tactics are essentially just a skill, but to master this skill, you need to learn and practice a myriad of things.
In the martial arts world of the mortal world, there are some masters, such as the former Han Biao, who can put a wooden board on a piece of tofu, and the tofu will shatter with a slap and the tofu will not go smoothly.
This is of course also a technique for controlling power.
It seems to be no different from the big brother's technique of breaking the banana peel with one punch without breaking the banana.
But it's actually completely different.
It was only after his senior brother explained it later that Shu Guan realized that the senior brother's punch actually used ten percent of his strength.
"I don't know how powerful that punch was, but if Li Zhixia stood there, he would be dead with one punch. Well, the main reason is that I haven't met anyone who can take my punch without dying."

Slapping a wooden board with one palm without breaking the tofu is a technique of retaining force.
You use the third force to control it perfectly.
It's very different from how difficult it is for you to use all your strength and still be able to control it perfectly.
So although the senior brother said that Shuguan's first lesson was to peel a banana, he still didn't directly let Shuguan practice with a banana at the beginning.
Just using bananas is nothing more than a waste of bananas, and Senior Brother doesn’t think it’s necessary.
So the first step in the first lesson is to practice punching, 10,000 times a day.
…
Of course this is no ordinary punch.
Just like the push-ups and squats that senior brother asked Shu Guan to practice, they were not ordinary push-ups and squats.
Shu Guan's punching must be combined with a special luck method taught by his senior brother.
"Although fighting tactics are a technique for controlling and applying force, this skill is not practiced blindly. If no one teaches you, you will never be able to practice real fighting tactics by just exploring on your own."
"Because there are so many special secret techniques here. In fact, there are many different schools of fighting tactics. As for the school I learned..."
When the senior brother talked about the fighting tactics school he had learned, he suddenly raised his hand and scratched his head, a look of confusion flashed in his eyes, and then he did not continue talking.
But the feeling that senior brother gave Shu Guan at that moment was not that he didn't want to say it, but that he seemed to have forgotten it.
Then the senior brother taught Shu Guan a special method of luck.
"This qi movement method is called Man Yu Jin. It is not a practice method or a specialized Taoist technique. It is just a technique for using spiritual power. If you completely master it, then the same Taoist technique can be used When it comes out, its power can be increased by two to three times, which is considered an entry-level method in fighting tactics."
"But even if you are only at the entry level, the violence of this luck method is not something that ordinary practitioners can bear. But now that you have completely digested the power of dragon blood, you can practice it."
So for the next month, Shu Guan would punch the air every day by the lake.
A full 10,000 punches were thrown.
Senior Brother is not exaggerating at all, this is indeed an extremely violent method of luck.
When Shu Guan used the Taoist technique, his spiritual energy flowed through his meridians, as if it were a gentle river. At most, the moment the Taoist technique was performed, the speed of the river flow accelerated slightly.
However, if you use the kind of brute strength taught by your senior brother, every time you punch your luck, the spiritual power in your body will initially be like a roaring wave, surging through every inch of the meridians. At that time, it was like a giant waterfall hanging down, rushing fiercely, and destroying everything.
This is not only a skill of luck, but also a method of tempering the body and meridians. At the beginning, every time Shu Guan punched, he felt excruciating pain, and the meridians all over his body seemed to be broken inch by inch.
After Shu Guan practiced for five or six days, the pain subsided a little, and he could clearly feel that the meridians in his body were becoming tougher every day, and he was gradually able to withstand the violent luck. way.
In this way, Shu Guan punched ten thousand times a day and practiced for a full month.
In the first month, the senior brother didn't let him touch a banana.
Of course, privately, Shu Guan uses normal techniques to peel bananas to honor his senior brother, that is another matter.
…
In the second month, the senior brother still didn't let Shuguan start peeling bananas.
"Now you just learned how to let your power explode, but you still can't control it."
"Just like you before, you can use up all your spiritual energy by performing a single sword-controlling technique. Although the main reason is that the Taoist technique you performed is so powerful that the spiritual energy in your body has to pour out. But if you can learn to control it, even if This situation can still be changed.”
"Actually, your original Taoist power doesn't have to be so powerful at all. Just like your Qingping sword-controlling skill, you can kill a ninth-level building in the first consciousness realm with one sword, and it's the same sword to kill a person in the Qi-entraining stage, but it's a waste, so It is better to lower the power and decide how much spiritual power to use according to the strength of the enemy, as long as it is enough to kill the opponent."
"Then how does senior brother control the appropriate spiritual power?"
Shu Guan didn't want to be like this, he didn't want to be a tough guy with no staying power.
Then the senior brother took out an embroidery needle.
"In the next month, you can use this needle to practice your sword."
"Of course I will still teach you a luck method called Thousand Knots. When you can thread a needle and thread without using your hands and rely solely on your spiritual power to make a thousand knots in a quarter of an hour, then you can try it. I used my flying sword to peel the banana."
So for the next month, no matter whether Shuguan was eating, sleeping, going to the toilet, or doing anything else, there would always be an embroidery needle floating next to him.
Shuguan felt very tired, more tired than doing push-ups and squats, and more tired than practicing boxing.
Training like the previous ones is just physically tiring, but practicing this embroidery needle is really tiring mentally.
Shu Guan had just gotten used to the spiritual energy flowing in his body like a huge tidal wave, and now he had to turn it into something as thin as a gossamer. It was really a torturous thing.
And if you use just a little more spiritual power, the embroidery needle will break.
This requires Shu Guan's spirit to control the spiritual power very carefully, which is very mentally consuming.
So this month, Shuguan looked pale, depressed, and suffering excessive losses every day.
However, a month later, when the senior brother came for the assessment, he used an embroidery needle and a thin red thread to create one thousand and one fine knots within a quarter of an hour, relying purely on spiritual control.
…
"Okay, now you can initially control your own power freely. This is the most basic requirement for practicing other fighting techniques."
"It's just that there is no end to the control of one's own power. Remember the training these days and stick to it."
"Now you can start trying it out, with the Flying Sword Banana Peel."
The senior brother smiled and took out a large bunch of bananas and placed them in front of Shu Guan.
"Fifty rations a day is not too much."
"Senior Brother, is it really only 50 pieces that will suffice?"
"That's enough, I can't take any more."
...I knew that if I couldn't practice with anything, I had to use bananas...
Shu Guan broke off a banana.
The senior brother had already sat down expectantly, and the four-legged snake quickly climbed onto his shoulders. He also raised his head expectantly and widened his golden eyes.
Speaking of which, this four-legged snake had been following Shuguan the past two months when the senior brother was training him, and the senior brother always kept it in some strange and miraculous postures.
Every time Shu Guan finished practicing, he would always see the four-legged snake panting and exhausted.
"When you can use the flying sword to peel a banana completely without damaging the flesh, I will teach you some more powerful fighting techniques."
The senior brother encouraged Shu Guan in this way.
"You know, your senior brother, I know no less than twenty ways to move Qi, and the most powerful one can make your spiritual power explode tenfold!"
"In addition, like the combination of different Taoist techniques, hiding and disguised assassination, controlling the rhythm of the battle, in short, fighting tactics are all-encompassing and there are thousands of methods."
Shu Guan knew that the elder brother was trying to spread the pie.
But this piece of cake still made him excited.
So Shu Guan enthusiastically placed the banana in his hand on the stone table, then stepped back a few steps and took out the peach wood sword, ready to try the results of the past two months of practice.
At this moment, the senior brother's voice came from behind him again.
"Who are you?"
Shu Guan was stunned for a moment and turned around in confusion.
Then he saw his senior brother looking at him with a strange look.
For a moment, Shu Guan didn't know how to describe that look.
At this moment, Shu Guan seemed to have returned to the strange dream he had at the old cripple's grave.
Because in that strange dream, the old cripple also looked at him with a strange look.
This strangeness was not because the old cripple's eyes were so cold and heartless at that time, but because of a strange feeling.
He was obviously such a person before, but it was as if he had suddenly changed into a different person, as if a strange soul had taken over his original body.
This is how my senior brother feels about me now.
But it was not the ruthless and cold gaze of the old cripple, but an idiotic gaze.
"Who are you?"
The senior brother asked Shu Guan again, and a strand of saliva flowed from the corner of his mouth uncontrollably.
At this moment, the senior brother looked very much like an idiot, or a real monkey.
Shu Guan's heart suddenly jumped and he said tremblingly:
"Senior Brother, I am Shu Guan, your seventh junior brother."
"You are Shuguan...my seventh junior brother..."
The senior brother looked at him blankly, his eyes becoming more and more confused.
"...I remember I have a junior brother...then who am I..."
The senior brother held his head in pain, slowly lowered it, and kept saying:
"...Who am I? Who am I?..."
Shu Guan was shocked to find that there were two monkey ears on the left and right behind the senior brother's original ears, slowly growing out from under the golden hair.
The four-legged snake on his shoulder had frightened eyes and rolled to the ground tremblingly. As if it had been greatly frightened, it escaped from the pavilion, got into the grass, and disappeared.
