ah?
I didn't quite understand what Master meant.
But anyway, it was what she said, so I would definitely do it immediately!
Although Li Miao had just met for the first time, he had just seen with his own eyes the terrifying battle between my master and Zhu Qihan, the leader of the Bagua Guan, and their tremendous power.
At this time, I was also very respectful and obedient, doing whatever I said!
Then……
Something magical happened!
The master ran at an incredibly fast speed, like a galloping horse, running through the mountains and woods with complex terrain. All obstacles and obstacles seemed to have completely disappeared, and it was like walking on flat ground.
What’s even more amazing is that Li Miao and I moved at the same speed as her!
I didn’t feel the presence of [Qi], and Master didn’t use any magic or magical power...
But I felt that my whole body seemed to be pulled by countless fine ropes, and every muscle was stretching and shaking in response to Master's movements.
Different muscles and nerves affect the body, allowing me to run quickly and make various agile movements.
If I had to describe it... Li Miao and I were like Master's marionettes!
It seems that there are countless invisible threads pulling our muscles and nerves, making all kinds of movements and sensitivities that we cannot usually do.
However, the master has no luck at all, and he has no magic powers!
She just gently grasped my and Li Miao's shoulders with both hands, and then her five fingers kept flicking and tapping in a strange rhythm...
Every time it bounces and hits, it seems that a force penetrates the skin, and then advances layer by layer, accurately activating a muscle or nerve!
Let us follow her movements and speed and fly quickly through the mountains and forests together...
Hoo ho ho!
The wind howled in my ears, and the surrounding trees swished past me from both sides, leaving blurry shadows on my retinas. It makes people feel like they are sitting in a car and driving fast on the road.
I finally couldn't hold back my curiosity and asked.
"Master, what's going on? How did you do it... You didn't rely on Qi and magic at all, just by grabbing my and Brother Li's shoulders with five fingers, you were able to make our bodies completely obey you, Master. The command."
Li Miao was obviously very surprised, but he didn't say much. You probably know that I, the apprentice, have asked the question, so Fairy Lady will definitely answer it, right?
Sure enough, the master replied with a chuckle while leading us quickly over the mountains and ridges.
"I said Ah Chong, you must have gone through too many fights last night and your brain has become stupid, right? Think about it for yourself, this kind of technique, combined with the strength and softness of Tai Chi, can shock people's joints. Removing is the same principle. It is all achieved through the transmission of force within the human body to achieve a certain degree of control."
I see!
It dawned on me and I gasped.
This seems to be the truth...
Although when I studied internal boxing with my master, I had a general understanding of the three realms of boxing: Ming Jin, Dark Jin, and Hua Jin, and I probably knew the magical effects that different boxing techniques could play in these realms.
In addition, I also read classics such as "Records of Chinese Martial Arts" and "The Book of Boxing" from Master's collection of books, which recorded the autographs and deeds of some martial arts masters in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China.
It was also mentioned that Yang Luchan, the great master of Tai Chi, gently tapped a person's shoulder with his finger, and the person's legs moved involuntarily, as if dancing.
In fact, it is to use fist power to stimulate and draw the muscles and nerves!
But if you don’t experience things in the world for yourself, you really can’t feel the mysteries of them firsthand.
Boxing and martial arts are actually so magical!
"Master, let's not talk about the magical powers of practitioners. In terms of martial arts and boxing alone, are you already the same as the legendary masters such as Yang Luchan and Dong Haichuan in ancient times? You are too strong. What state have you reached? Is it transformation? Is your energy perfect?"
She chuckled.
"Ah Chong, it's hard for me to answer your question as a teacher. I haven't seriously fought with them, so I don't know what it is like. However, if you add the ability to practice magic, my teacher will definitely be stronger. After all, Use more methods. Of course, I am talking about before I was injured."
oh oh……
I nodded confusedly.
Without asking any more questions, he began to focus on the five-finger Fa Jin that Master was holding on his shoulder. Carefully feel and understand how she affects every muscle and nerve in our body to move together through the grasping, pinching, flicking and tapping of her fingers...
Gradually, I seemed to have forgotten that I was being held by Master and running across mountains and ridges.
My whole mind has been immersed in the understanding of the "power" of boxing.
In a daze, I seemed to feel like I had become an illusory existence. Looking at my body from a third-person perspective, this body becomes transparent, and the connections between muscles and nerves are clearly visible...
Every flick and pinch of the master's five fingers caused changes in the muscles and nerves, which were like red light spreading through the transparent body.
I carefully watched the vibrations of muscles and nerves, and my whole figure seemed to have entered an illusory dream.
Until the master's gentle voice suddenly sounded in my ears.
"Ah Chong, wake up. We have arrived at Lianghe Town."
Then I shuddered and opened my eyes, as if I woke up from a dream and returned to reality.
The cold mountain wind blowing in my face made me very energetic.
Take a closer look.
This is already halfway up a mountain in the north of Lianghe Town, not far from Luojiaopo where Bai Su and Huihui live, and only a few hills away from the tomb where Zhou Min is buried.
It is the area with the best view among the mountains near Lianghe Town. From the top of the mountain, you can overlook the whole town.
I can even vaguely see the location of Lao Cao's coffin shop...
Perhaps he was finally out of danger and back to a familiar place. Li Miao also laughed and made a joke.
"Brother Wu, it seems that you are really tired last night, and you can still fall asleep while being driven by the fairy."
Before I could explain, Master spoke.
"Ah Chong didn't fall asleep. He must have had an epiphany, right? Boxing and martial arts are similar to magic cultivation. Sometimes, due to some chance and coincidence, there will be great benefits after the epiphany."
"It's just that the practice of martial arts and boxing is more difficult. Because once the magical power is enlightened, the realm may be improved, and the cultivation level will also increase immediately. But even if the martial arts and boxing are enlightened, you have to practice it slowly. After all, it involves To muscles, fascia, bones..."
"These things cannot be achieved overnight. After enlightenment, you have to repeatedly ponder and practice in order to steadily improve. A Zhong, do you understand?"
I nodded.
What the master said is actually the weakness of the martial arts lineage.
Originally, martial arts and boxing techniques were once just an insignificant force among the [miscellaneous sects] in the Xuanmen world, and were not popular... More than two hundred years ago, the internal boxing techniques gradually took shape, which allowed this lineage to suddenly emerge, and in a hundred years Now it has become a real big force and a so-called "exhibition of learning".
Of course, it declined after the founding of the People's Republic of China...
But as long as the internal boxing practice is still spread, it will at least be a first- and second-rate force in the Xuanmen world.
As for the various martial arts sects written in various martial arts novels in ancient times, that is all nonsense!
There are no such things in reality. There are only various martial arts schools and sports meetings that flourished in the late Qing Dynasty. Finally, during the Republic of China, a behemoth like the Central Academy of Chinese Martial Arts finally appeared.
At that time, the reputation and status of martial arts masters were almost comparable to those of Buddhism and Taoism!
As for the status of the [Central Chinese Martial Arts Museum], it is not inferior to Buddhist and Taoist giants such as Longhu Mountain, Maoshan, Wutai Mountain, and Putuo Mountain.
As for the ancient times, when the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was abundant, those who practiced magic and magical powers were truly powerful...
When Li Miao heard that I was not sleeping, but having an epiphany, he shook his head and sighed.
"This is really a blessing from God! Not only has Brother Wu made rapid progress in martial arts training, but he is also so talented in martial arts and boxing."
A faint smile appeared on the master's face.
After all, I am her apprentice, so she is quite happy to hear someone praise me like this, right?
"Let's go and go to Xiao Cao's coffin shop. Since the matter has almost been resolved, it is not impossible for those involved in this matter to understand the cause and effect. I, Qin Ruoxuan, am actually quite approachable."
Master turned to me and said.
The moment she turned back, a mask reappeared on her face, covering her beautiful appearance.
After all, we were going to the town, and it was broad daylight, so we would definitely meet a lot of people along the way.
If you don't wear a mask, you will definitely be watched like a big TV star along the way.
Uh... Even though some people might look at it even if I'm wearing a mask, I guess Master thinks this is more appropriate, right?
We walked together normally down the mountain.
At this time, Xiao Yuan's voice suddenly sounded in my mind, with a hint of anxiety and worry...
"Call! Master Bird is calling Mr. Wu. Please reply if you hear me. This Master Bird is calling..."
"I'm calling you a ghost! Please understand, I am the eldest brother and you are the younger brother."
There was silence for two seconds, and then a sound of surprise broke out.
"My dear, Mr. Wu! Are you really still alive? I'm so happy. You've worried me to death."
"Get out of here, you!"
I laughed and cursed, but actually I felt warm and touched. But he still said...
"You must know that Lao Cao went to find my master, right? Since I have my master to help me, how can I be in danger?"
"That's true, that woman is too scary. But I'm not worried about being killed before she arrives. That's no way. By the way, what's wrong with you?"
"Okay, don't be verbose. I'll go back to the coffin shop with Master first, and we'll talk more about it later."
I smiled and cut off the remote mental communication with Madoka.
It's like hanging up the phone...
Soon, we went down the mountain and entered the town directly from the foot of the mountain in the north. After crossing the stone arch bridge and walking through the river street, we returned to the coffin shop not long after.
"Old Cao, I'm back."
I stepped over the threshold smiling. At first glance, there were so many people in the coffin shop!
In addition to Lao Cao, Wang Hu, Yuan Fei, and Xiao Yuan, Ni Yang and Zhao Xu were also there. There are also two strong men in black. They should be the bodyguard thugs who survived the escape from Daling Village. It is not easy...
And even Bai Su and Hui Hui are there!
It was probably Lao Cao who informed them to come here.
Lao Cao stood up from his stool and walked a few steps quickly to come to me. There were actually twinkling tears in his eyes.
He patted my shoulders with both hands at the same time and took a deep breath, as if to stabilize his emotions.
"Okay, just be safe! I..."
The rest of the people in the room all looked at me and cheered excitedly.
Madoka, that damn fat bird, flew over and landed on my shoulder, making a cooing sound.
At this time, the master's voice came from behind.
"Xiao Cao, it seems that you and my good disciple really get along very well. I have really worked hard for you in the past few years."
I quickly got out of the way and she walked into the house - Li Miao was the last one to come in.
As soon as she entered the room, everyone immediately became quiet.
Lao Cao's expression became extremely excited. He clasped his fists with his hands and bowed at almost 90 degrees - his waist almost bent to the ground!
he said shakily.
"Cao Chengfeng, a coffin bearer from the Cao family in western Chongqing, has met Qin Xiangu."
To be honest, I only found out Lao Cao's full name - Cao Chengfeng at this moment. I didn't expect it to sound quite nice. I feel like a cultural person.
He faced my master with awe and formality.
At this time, the rest of the people in the coffin shop were also a little nervous...
But none of them knew how to salute - especially Zhao Xu and the other three ordinary people, who seemed a little at a loss.
The master said calmly.
"You don't have to be polite, Xiao Cao. Your master and I are quite familiar with each other. And if you and the fat bird hadn't come here to report the news this time, my disciple would have been in trouble, and I would have been blackmailed. As for the others, too. No need to salute, no need to be too formal. Sit down and talk."
The master's voice was very soft, but it was full of aura that made everyone obey.
She waved her hand gently.
Everyone in the room who was still standing was gently pushed back to sit down by an invisible soft force.
Of course Li Miao and I also sat down.
I immediately shouted in grievance.
"Ah, Master! I don't have a stool yet. You pushed me to the ground. It's too cold for me to sit on the ground."
Master: "..."
I saw that Xiao Yuan and Yuan Fei seemed to be trying hard not to laugh.
Lao Cao had a strange expression.
I guess I am the only one who dares to be so casual and straightforward in front of Master.
The master waved his hand.
From the bedroom behind the main room of the shop, two stools flew out automatically, just enough for Li Miao and I to sit on them.
"Okay, everyone, let's talk about the specific situation this time. For A Zhong's sake, I will also tell you some of the things I know."
"Fat Bird, let's start first and talk about the situation on your side. Then Xiao Cao will finish, and A Zhong will talk again. Finally, I will add some details. Because when I killed Zhu Qihan, I also took the opportunity to use The soul-searching method forcibly obtained some memory fragments from his soul."
At this point, Master had guessed what I was thinking, and turned to me specifically to say something.
"Including the contents of the murals at the back of the Shu King's tomb that were destroyed by Zhu Qihan, I also know."
I was startled, then overjoyed.
It would be great!
I am a very curious person. I only read half of the story about the "Taoist Boy" King Shu in the Ming Dynasty. I didn't see the ending and it really made my heart itch.
Unexpectedly, Master found the truth of this memory from Zhu Qihan's soul.
In short, because the series of situations caused by this [Daling Village Disappearance Incident] are very complicated, and our group was later separated, only by getting together can the whole truth be revealed...
After everyone from all directions told the story, a complete story was finally revealed to everyone.
First of all, it is about after we were attacked by flying zombies in the underground Daling Village.
Xiao Yuan, Daniu and others took Zhao Xu and others to evacuate first.
But the zombies had the ability to fly, and they separated into a group and quickly caught up with them.
Fighting and retreating all the way, after killing several bodyguards and thugs, they finally managed to return to the center of the formation. He successfully left Daling Village and returned to the ground.
Xiao Yuan asked Dan Niu and others to take Zhao Xu and others to leave the valley first and drive quickly back to the coffin shop in Lianghe Town to wait for news. Then it returns underground again on its own, ready to come to our aid.
Of course its first goal was to find me first, but it turned out that it couldn't contact me at all - by then I should have fallen into the Tomb of King Shu from the Robber's Cave!
So Madoka was very anxious, but she knew that I was definitely not dead, I was probably just trapped in a place where telekinesis could be cut off. Otherwise, Jiaxian will definitely feel it.
At this time, it could only choose to support Yuan Fei and Ni Yang nearby.
Because Xiao Yuan did not consume much before, after joining the battle, she actually wiped out all the zombies who were chasing Yuan Fei and Ni Yang.
Just at this time, Lao Cao got rid of the corpse ghost himself and ran over to join the three of them...
