Chapter 116 Herbs

Zhang Xiaohua put down the book and told the second brother about the situation during this period. Zhang Xiaohu was naturally concerned about his right hand. However, Zhang Xiaohua had no choice but to raise his right hand in front of the second brother again, bending his fingers a few times, and looked at his brother with some confusion. With his thin right hand and fingers that felt somewhat flexible, Zhang Xiaohu felt a little relieved and full of hope that Zhang Xiaohua's right hand would return to its original state.

After chatting for a while, Zhang Xiaohua finally asked the main topic: "Second brother, how are you doing with your internal skills?"

Hearing the question Zhang Xiaohua asked him, Zhang Xiaohu couldn't hide the excitement in his eyes and said, "Guess?"

When Zhang Xiaohua saw her second brother like this, she naturally knew it and said in surprise: "Second brother, did you succeed?"

Zhang Xiaohu said: "Yes, a few days after returning from your place, I successfully found the sense of Qi."

Zhang Xiaohua asked: "Then, second brother, does finding the sense of qi mean you have mastered the internal skills and mental skills?"

Zhang Xiaohu shook his head and said: "It's still early. Finding the sense of qi is just the first step. The road ahead is still long. Just being able to find the sense of qi means that I can practice internal strength. With the direction, I can work in Dantian." Gathering qi lays the foundation for future luck in the body’s meridians. If you can’t even feel the qi, there is no way to practice internal skills and mental techniques.”

Zhang Xiaohua was confused by what he said. Although he had read a lot during this period, and even had martial arts books, he had never come across anything related to internal skills and mental methods. These professional names of Zhang Xiaohu made him confused. He scratched his head.

I had no choice but to ask: "Second brother, can you tell me what is Qi sense, what is Dantian, what is Qi gathering and luck?"

Looking at Zhang Xiaohua's appearance, Zhang Xiaohu thought for a while, got up, took a look outside the door, closed the door, and then said to Zhang Xiaohua: "Actually, these names are very common things. As long as anyone can practice All internal skills and mental methods must be known, and they are not confidential. Although Mr. Qu San has said that the contents of internal skills and mental methods cannot be leaked, but I think these common sense things should not be in this scope."

Zhang Xiaohua listened and said, "Second brother, if you really can't talk, forget it. I'll go back and ask Captain He."

Zhang Xiaohu said with a smile: "If I really can't tell you, I won't tell you. Since I can tell you this, why bother asking others?"

Zhang Xiaohua jumped up happily and said, "I know that my second brother is good to me, so tell me quickly."

Zhang Xiaohu sorted out his thoughts and said eloquently: "When it comes to internal power, we must first talk about meridians. Meridians are some of the meridians distributed in our body that can move the true energy. Through these meridians, the true energy can be sent to all parts of the body. , and the moves made using true energy still have internal power. Do you understand what I’m saying, Xiaohua?”

Zhang Xiaohua nodded and said: "I understand. A normal person's punch only has its own power. If there is true energy in the meridians of the fist, it will still have internal power, isn't it?"

Zhang Xiaohu nodded and said: "That's right. Therefore, cultivating inner strength is a process of accumulating true energy. The accumulation of true energy is a process of starting from scratch. This process is called the sense of Qi. When there is Qi, Feeling is the first ray of true energy. The true energy is usually stored in a place called the Dantian, right here, under the navel. When practicing and exercising, it comes out of the Dantian and travels along the whole body. The meridians or the places you want it to flow. Generally speaking, the process of exercising is the process of gathering Qi. There will be more and more Qi. The more Qi mobilized, the greater the internal force will be."

Zhang Xiaohua thought thoughtfully and said: "The purple sand palm that Yu Deyi used last time did not use internal force to transfer the true energy from the Dantian to the palm to generate such great power."

Zhang Xiaohu nodded and said: "Yes, the transportation of zhenqi is a rigorous process. It must follow a fixed route and cannot be disturbed. If there is a slight interference, it will deviate from the original route and run into a side road. If the body loses control, or in severe cases, life may be lost.

This is what is often said to be possessed. In fact, when we practiced boxing in the past, we would not have gone crazy without using our true energy, haha. "

Only then did Zhang Xiaohua realize that this was what it was like to be possessed.

Then, Zhang Xiaohua continued to ask: "How is the true energy generated? Does it come from the soles of the feet? Or does the fingers come out of thin air?"

Connecting with her own feeling of hot and cold and its operation in her body, Zhang Xiaohua vaguely felt that this was not the true energy that her second brother mentioned. Instead, the warm current generated when using sword moves was somewhat like true energy. , however, it did come out of thin air from the shoulders, not from his own Dantian.

Zhang Xiaohu thought for a while and said: "I don't know if every inner skill is the same for this question. When I practice, I sit there with my five hearts facing the sky, my nose looks at my mouth, and my mouth looks at my heart, and then Put your tongue against the upper jaw of your mouth, thinking that there is air flowing in from your forehead, and then swallow it with the fluid in your mouth to guide the air to your Dantian. This process is key. I have been doing this some time ago, and this has happened recently. Only then did the true energy gather in the Dantian."

Zhang Xiaohua was stunned. This process was really different from his own. However, he still asked without giving up: "Second brother, does all the true energy have to be stored in the Dantian? Does it enter from one place in the body and then from another place?" Did it come out of another part of the body?"

Zhang Xiaohu was stunned for a moment, frowned and said: "I can't say this, but I heard Mr. Qu say that the Dantian is the center of true energy. Without the Dantian, one cannot practice internal skills. Moreover, the martial arts of useless people in the world are If you want to break that person's Dantian, I think it might not work if there is no Dantian. Moreover, the true energy is transported out of the Dantian when you want to use it. If it enters and exits from one place to another, then, you How to use it? Can it be called infuriating?"

Then, he asked: "Xiaohua, why do you ask so many incredible things?"

Zhang Xiaohua opened her mouth, wanting to tell the truth, but thinking about the consequences of what her second brother just said about going crazy, she was afraid that speaking out would affect her cultivation. Moreover, she couldn't explain what she meant, so she let her tell the truth. If you're worried, just hide it from him and tell him later when you figure it out.

After making up her mind, Zhang Xiaohua said with a smile: "Aren't you just curious about your inner strength? It's so easy to find someone who understands, why don't you ask more questions?"

Zhang Xiaohu patted his chest and said with a worried look: "Master Qu San also said that this kind of zhenqi cultivation is extremely dangerous. It should generally be done under the guidance of an experienced master, otherwise it is easy to go crazy. Don't be blind." Hu’s cultivation.”

Zhang Xiaohua said with a smile: "I understand, second brother, I do want to practice, but where do I get the inner strength and mental skills?"

Zhang Xiaohu also smiled and said, "That's true."

Later, Zhang Xiaohu asked about the Liuhe Boxing that Zhang Xiaohua had learned. When he heard that Zhang Xiaohua only remembered seven moves, he was shocked and didn't know how to comfort Zhang Xiaohua.

However, seeing Zhang Xiaohua's disapproving look, she didn't say anything. In fact, she still wanted to ask him how he was doing with his boxing skills, but thinking about it, there wouldn't be good news, for fear of exposing the scars on his brother's heart. It made him sad, so he never mentioned it again.

The two brothers met and chatted casually, and time passed quickly. Most of the day passed in the blink of an eye. When it was almost dark, Zhang Xiaohua said goodbye to her second brother and returned to Huanxi Villa.

Back at the villa, it was already dark. Walking on the path of the villa, holding a few books on medicinal plant cultivation, Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help but feel a little funny. She remembered that she made a joke to Li Jinfeng last time, and he actually Just take it seriously, it’s really enough... No, thinking about the way Li Jinfeng came to the villa last time, Zhang Xiaohua immediately understood that Mr. Li really had good intentions. However, thinking about Sister Qiutong’s kindness to her, Zhang Xiaohua immediately understood With Li Jinfeng's frankness and simplicity, Zhang Xiaohua is still willing to do something about it. However, she still doesn't know how Sister Qiutong feels about Mr. Li. She will talk about it later when she has the opportunity.

After entering the small courtyard, he passed by He Tianshu's house and saw that the house was lit with lights. Zhang Xiaohua knew that He Tianshu should be in the house. He looked at the book in his hand and came to the door. Before he could knock on the door, something came from inside. He Tianshu's slightly hoarse voice said: "Who is it? Come in."

Zhang Xiaohua was stunned, opened the door and entered the room, asking strangely: "Captain He, I haven't knocked on the door yet, how did you know someone was coming?"

When He Tianshu saw Zhang Xiaohua coming in, he also smiled and said, "Well, you'll know after you practice your inner strength. If you transfer your inner strength to your ears, you can hear the movement within a few feet around you."

Zhang Xiaohua said in surprise: "Ah! It's so magical."

He Tianshu said: "It depends on the depth of the inner strength. Some people can hear more than ten feet."

The little stars in Zhang Xiaohua's eyes looked up.

However, he then thought that he seemed to be able to feel the movement of people outside sometimes, but it seemed like it was just a feeling.

Then, He Tianshu asked: "I took leave today to go to the Lotus Escort Agency. How about your brother there?"

Zhang Xiaohua said happily: "Yes, Captain He, I haven't seen my second brother for a while. Let's go and see him. He's doing well. He's practicing his internal skills."

"Eh~" He Tianshu was a little surprised and said, "You feel angry so quickly?"

Zhang Xiaohua said proudly: "Yes, didn't I say that my second brother is a genius?"

He Tianshu offered a burst of chestnuts and said: "I just didn't expect your second brother to gain Qi sense so quickly, but I didn't say he was a genius. Qi sense is generally not easy for people with distracting thoughts to get started with, but, like you, the second brother Brother, you can’t be considered a genius. The average disciple of the Piao Miao Sect will get the feeling of Qi in two or three days.”

"O, that's it." Zhang Xiaohua's mouth opened wide. She thought that her second brother was already her idol. If this was the case, weren't the disciples of the Miao Miao Sect all her idols?

This idol is too cheap.

Zhang Xiaohua looked at He Tianshu and asked, "How long did it take Captain He to feel angry?"

He Tianshu scratched his head, pretending to be deep in thought, and said: "It seems that I was assigned to the pharmacy hall four days ago. My qualifications are not very good."

"Oh," Zhang Xiaohua sighed, lowered her head, and said, "I guess I have to go to the dining room."

"Come on, it's so easy to get into the Piao Miao Sect's dining room." He Tianshu said honestly and politely.

It hurts self-esteem. Zhang Xiaohua didn't realize that her face didn't look very good.

Unexpectedly, He Tianshu added, "If you were selected into the Piaomiao Sect at a young age, you might be assigned to the Shenji Hall."

Zhang Xiaohua's face lit up and she said, "Shenji Hall? It sounds very majestic. What do you do?"

He Tianshu said: "Those from the Piaomiao sect who have early weapons are envious of the strength of your two hands."

"Ah~ That's it." Zhang Xiaohua fully understood that people were not interested in her qualifications, but it was strange to say that she was not so powerful before, so why was she so powerful now?

Could it be that spring water?

Just as he was thinking about it, He Tianshu asked: "By the way, what do you want to do here?"

Only then did Zhang Xiaohua remember the reason why she entered the room, so she asked: "Captain He, I've seen you always looking sad during this time. I heard Nie Xiaoer say that it's the medicinal materials that won't germinate."

"Well, yes, it's been almost a year, and I'm a little worried." He Tianshu sighed and couldn't help but tell Zhang Xiaohua: "These medicinal materials were planted at the beginning of this year. I don't know why, but they never sprouted. In fact, I It’s okay to stay here, but if it goes on like this, it will ruin the big things in the faction. Many medicines depend on these medicinal materials, so..."

As he spoke, he suddenly stopped, seeming to realize his gaffe, and said sarcastically: "Anyway, I feel a little guilty."

Zhang Xiaohua raised the book in her hand and said, "Oh, when I went to the escort agency to find my second brother, Mr. Li Jinfeng gave me some books on medicinal materials. I wanted to show them to you to see if they can be of any help. "

After hearing this, He Tianshu smiled and patted Zhang Xiaohua on the shoulder and said, "Zhang Xiaohua, thank you, you really care."

"However," He Tianshu took the books, glanced at them briefly, and said apologetically: "Although I can read and decipher, I can only read martial arts books. I can't understand this stuff, and, The group of elders in the Pharmacy Hall are studying this every day, and I guess they are also interested in it. If there is a solution here, they should have discovered it long ago."

Zhang Xiaohua disagreed and said: "The content of this book was written by people. What everyone sees and experiences may not be the same. As the ancients said, it is good to pool our wisdom."

He Tianshu was speechless. He had no experience in learning the "Beidou Shen Fist" from ordinary boxing books, so he naturally sneered. However, he then turned his head and said, "Let's do this, Zhang Xiaohua. Among us, you are the only one who is good at literature." You have extraordinary talent in this field (voiceover, my talent in martial arts is a mess), this task will be left to you. You read these books first, and then, if they are not enough, I will borrow more from the pharmacy for you. What do you think of some?”

Zhang Xiaohua was stunned, what is this? I just kindly recommended an idea to you, and you put this task on me. Will you let me speak in the future? Whenever I offer a rational suggestion, I always say, "I'll leave it to you for the good idea." Who can stand this? Pure bureaucracy.

However, Zhang Xiaohua was still unable to refuse He Tianshu's order, so he had no choice but to nod in agreement. Seeing Zhang Xiaohua's helpless look, He Tianshu was also helpless. He gave up such a burden to a half-year-old child because he didn't want to destroy Zhang Xiaohua. The enthusiasm is also the meaning of treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor. It is best to find a method, and it doesn't matter if he can't find it. The left and right are just asking him to read more books, but the ending is probably the latter. He Tianshu can guess with his heels. Gotta come out.

Zhang Xiaohua lowered her head, carried a few books back to her hut, lit the oil lamp, and did not rush to open the books. Instead, she turned around and lit the lantern, and went out to the woods to practice her boxing and sword skills.

Swordsmanship is a thing used to save lives. Naturally, the more proficient you are, the better. After many days of practice, the speed of the warmth in the sword in your left hand from the shoulder to the fingertips seems to be much faster, and the speed of the sword with your left hand seems to be much faster. The speed seems to have become faster, and the angle is weirder than before. Zhang Xiaohua simply can't figure out how to practice this left-hand sword. Could it be that the changes in this move will also evolve with his practice?

The sword in his right hand was still the same, and it did not change with the sword in his left hand. However, the fingers of his right hand clearly felt flexible, and the injury was developing in the expected direction.

What excites Zhang Xiaohua the most is the Beidou Shenquan that he pieced together. The hundred and eight moves have not changed like the left-hand sword, but are the same as what he learned before. Although they were taught by others or recorded in the boxing manual. It's different, but it has been fixed. The feeling of flow still comes out every nine times after practicing it continuously. The only change is that in perception, the flow seems to be a little stronger.

However, Zhang Xiaohua was still a little frustrated. What if this flow could stay in her body? You can also use it yourself. What is the use of this seemingly insignificant appearance and insignificant disappearance? Could it be that he is traveling inside his own body? I really can’t understand it.

After finishing her daily practice, Zhang Xiaohua returned to the room, found the book she had read a little bit in the morning, and continued reading with relish. Anyway, he has finished reading the books in his room, and there is no place to find anything to read for the time being. Now Zhang Xiaohua has developed a good reading habit. It is impossible not to read books on weekdays, so he regards these professional books as Just a pastime in your spare time.

Therefore, in Zhang Xiaohua's life, in addition to the three daily exercises in the morning, noon and evening, there is also the subject of reading. Except when working in the medicine field, Zhang Xiaohua always holds a book.

Zhang Xiaohua not only simply reads, but often compares the contents in the books to combine theory and practice. However, He Tianshu and the others manage a small number of medicinal fields, and there are not many types. Besides, there are many There is no record of the medicinal materials in the book. As a last resort, Zhang Xiaohua often went to Tian Chongxi's medicinal fields to look for the actual medicines.

Tian Chongxi was fine. After all, he had a sense of stewardship. He never tired of asking questions, and he admired Zhang Xiaohua's learning attitude. However, Ma Jing and the others in green clothes didn't think so. Maybe they were jealous that Zhang Xiaohua had eaten a first-class meal. Jealous of Zhang Xiaohua's ability to read and write, she kept making sarcastic comments. How could Zhang Xiaohua listen to her? Just think of it as a barking dog.

The days passed day by day amid the constant barking of dogs and chicken feathers everywhere.
