Chapter 157 Sense of Qi

Zhang Xiaohu saw that Zhang Xiaohua was anxious, so he smiled and said to He Tianshu: "This disciple has just joined the sect and doesn't know much about our gang. Can I ask Master He to help me explain?"

He Tianshu thought for a while and said to Zhang Xiaohua: "These are some common sense in the world. It doesn't hurt to tell you. The ordinary disciples of my Piao Miao sect are divided into two categories: commoner disciples and brocade disciples."

When Zhang Xiaohua heard this, she couldn't help but interrupt and said: "It's not fair, Captain He, how come the Piaomiao Sect is also discriminating? If you have money, you can become a disciple of Jinyi, but if you don't have money, you have to be a disciple of common people?"

He Tianshu glared at him angrily and said, "Can you listen to what I have to say? I don't know that interrupting others is very rude?"

Li Jinfeng looked at Zhang Xiaohua with a smile. After all, when he was a teenager, with his second brother beside him and He Tianshu, who was equivalent to a master, Zhang Xiaohua's habits as a young man were fully demonstrated.

Zhang Xiaohua stuck out her tongue and did not dare to answer any more words.

He Tianshu continued: "The difference between commoners and Jinyi is not about whether they have money or not. Disciples of the Miao Miao Sect are all admitted into the sect at the age of four or five, and there are specialized people to train them. They are not in business and have no parents." Where do you get the money from? The fundamental difference lies in martial arts cultivation and contribution to the Piaomiao Sect. All disciples start out as commoners, and commoner disciples are divided into ten levels, and each level has something to practice. The content includes boxing, swordsmanship, palm skills, inner strength and inner skills, etc. Commoner disciples cannot skip the level to practice other skills. After the current level of skills is completed and tested by specialized people, they can move on to the next level. In the cultivation of different levels, in fact, many internal skills, mind skills, palm skills, sword skills, etc. are also layered. Each level of commoner disciples also corresponds to a layer of some skills. Only when you advance can you get to practice the lower level skills. Opportunity."

Zhang Xiaohua was surprised and asked: "Captain He, what does this have to do with the martial arts competition?"

Just after he asked, he seemed to understand something and said to himself: "Could it be that this martial arts competition is the test you mentioned?"

He Tianshu looked like a child and said happily: "Zhang Xiaohua's mind is still very bright. You guessed it right. This martial arts competition is a test for the advancement of the disciples. It is held every year."

Zhang Xiaohua said proudly: "So, does this disciple advance once a year?"

He Tianshu said with a smile: "You are right. The disciples who can join my Piao Miao Sect must be those with outstanding talents. In addition, the sect teaches students according to their aptitude, so most of the disciples can advance once a year."

Li Jinfeng suddenly realized and laughed: "Captain He, it sounds like the students in our college have to take exams every year. If they pass the exam, they can study in a higher place."

He Tianshu was stunned and said: "I guess it's about the same. After all, the essence of martial arts and literary practice is to make progress. If there is progress, there must be an assessment standard. Although the standards are different, the essence is the same."

At this time, Zhang Xiaohu spoke up and asked: "Uncle He, you were talking about the commoner disciples just now, what about the Jinyi disciples?"

He Tianshu took a sip of tea and continued: "If you complete the ten levels of the commoner and pass the test, you can become a disciple of the Jinyi. However, the disciples of the Jinyi are divided into five levels and are assessed through the martial arts competition every year. However, , the training of the Jinyi disciples is different from that of the commoner disciples. The training content of each level of the commoner disciples is the same, while the Jinyi disciples teach different exercises based on each person's qualifications. For example, if Zhang Xiaohu advances to Jinyi, If you have unique interests or insights in boxing, you may practice advanced boxing skills of the Piao Miao School."

Li Jinfeng nodded and said: "As the ancients said, there is no limit to learning, but I have limit to life. Only by specializing in study can you achieve proud achievements. The Jinyi disciples of your sect probably specialize in one technique based on their own expertise. "

He Tianshu said with a smile: "It's better to practice prose, and speak in a formal manner, and what you say is very reasonable. I sent my predecessors to formulate these rules, maybe this is the reason,

However, there are differences in the assessment between Jinyi disciples and commoner disciples. Although commoner disciples pass the martial arts test, the winner will of course have to advance, and the loser can also advance if his skill is sufficient and recognized by the referee. Jinyi disciples, on the other hand, have stricter standards. Even if they win the competition, if they are not recognized by the referee, they will not be able to advance. "

Then, he said in a weird tone: "And there is no limit to the number of times this Jinyi disciple can take the test. As long as he fails the test, he will continue to take the test until he passes the test. If he keeps failing the test, he will never be able to advance, no matter how much you practice. How many years.”

At this time, He Tianshu felt that Zhang Xiaohua had been staring at him, and asked strangely: "Zhang Xiaohua, why are you looking at me? Is there a flower on my face?"

Zhang Xiaohua giggled and said, "I want to know, what level is Captain He now?"

He Tianshu had the same eyebrows and a serious look on his face, and said: "Well, Zhang Xiaohua, what I just told you is considered common sense in the Miao Miao Sect. Many people in the world know it, so it doesn't matter if I say it. As for what level I am The question involves the secrets of our Misty Sect. I can’t reveal them to you casually, and you shouldn’t ask too much about them, as this will have a bad influence.”

When Zhang Xiaohua heard this, his heart trembled. He didn't know much about the Piaomiao Sect, so he quickly said: "Okay, I understand, Captain He, please continue."

He Tianshu said: "It's good to know, but there's nothing more to say."

Li Jinfeng asked: "Captain He, can you tell us how to distinguish commoner disciples from Jinyi disciples? I seem to have heard that gangs in Jianghu use the color of their clothes to distinguish their status, and what kind of cuffs they use. There are signs and other things to indicate the level.”

After hearing this, He Tianshu sneered and said: "This method is extremely crude. It seems that our Piao Miao Sect did this a long time ago, but it was later abolished."

Zhang Xiaohua became curious and asked quickly: "Why is that? Isn't this good?"

He Tianshu said: "First of all, think about it, how many disciples are there in our Piao Miao sect, and how many levels are there? Each level must be marked with different colors of clothes, so isn't the whole gang just colorful? Isn't it serious? No matter how famous a sect, Liyuan is about the same. Besides, if you put markings on the sleeves and other places, wouldn't it be specialization? This is very different from the standardization advocated by our sect now. In fact, there is one more thing..."

He Tianshu made a mysterious gesture and said in a low voice: "In my opinion, the cost of labeling every piece of clothing is too high. Although the faction has money, in many cases, the landlords do not have enough food left. It is better to live within one's means. Force and financial resources are the two major factors in the development of gangs, so we can't just waste money on trivial matters, right?"

Zhang Xiaohua felt sad after hearing this, and said with her hands: "Captain He said this, it won my heart, and I will use my money wisely."

The other two people were also stunned.

However, He Tianshu went on to say: "Furthermore, if a person's strength can be seen from his clothes, from the perspective of our sect, there will be an obvious difference in superiority and inferiority, which is not conducive to harmony and unity, and it is also very easy to Promoting the formation of small groups and hills is not conducive to the competition and development of disciples. The most important thing is, think about it, for the enemies of the Piao Miao Sect, if their strength can be seen from your clothes, then they will still have to work hard. What information are you looking for? You have a bunch of people wearing different clothes with different markings on them. People will know what kind of cultivation you are and what your skills are at a glance. People will naturally send people who are better than you to cause trouble for you. You Aren’t you always under someone else’s control and don’t have any privacy?”

Everyone nodded after hearing this, and He Tianshu said proudly: "So, my ancestors of the Miao Miao Sect wisely abolished the bad habits of people in Yiyi District. The clothes of ordinary disciples are generally average."

Zhang Xiaohua asked again: "Captain He, when will this year's martial arts competition be held?"

He Tianshu said: "It will probably be a month later. This is the grand occasion of our party. I am really looking forward to it."

Zhang Xiaohua took the opportunity to ask: "Captain He, are you ready?"

He Tianshu smiled proudly and said: "I wasn't sure at first. Didn't I just learn "Piao Miao Step"? I have..."

Then, he realized something and said, "This is a secret in the faction, so don't ask too many questions."

Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said: "Then, can I come and take a look?"

He Tianshu said with a smile: "Huanxi Villa is originally a branch of the Piao Miao Sect. On weekdays, you can enter the Piao Miao Sect with the Villa's waist card. On those days, the guards are tight, so you can probably come in."

Zhang Xiaohua was very happy after hearing this, and asked: "Then can I participate in this martial arts competition?"

He Tianshu frowned and said: "This martial arts competition is for the exclusive use of my test disciples. What fun do you have? Hey, by the way, it seems that I have heard that people from Huanxi Villa and Lotus Escort Agency participated before. It has been a long time, and by that time I'm still young, so I have some vague impressions, but now no one else is participating."

Zhang Xiaohua wondered: "Why is this? Then how can I participate?"

He Tianshu smiled and said: "How do I know this? If you want to participate, ask Master Ou later."

Zhang Xiaohu asked with concern: "Xiaohua, do you really want to participate? Do you know that boxing technique? Have you never practiced internal strength?"

Zhang Xiaohua looked at her second brother and comforted her with a smile: "Second brother, I'm just talking. Come over and watch the fun. Besides, my boxing skills are also good. I taught a group of street gangsters a lesson last time."

Everyone smiled bitterly. Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. This little flower really doesn't know how high the sky is.

However, if this spirit really disappears, would he still be called a young man?

Even a young man from the countryside.

The three of them chatted with Zhang Xiaohu for a while before saying goodbye. Zhang Xiaohua carefully hid the book "Mangniu Jin" in her arms, and then said goodbye to her second brother who was still looking at him reluctantly at the entrance of the hospital.

Although he has begun to practice the "Worry-free Heart Sutra", after all, his qualifications are limited and he has not made any progress. And this "Mangniu Jin" was hard-earned by the second brother from Daxia Wen. With Zhang Xiaohu's deep family affection, Zhang There is no reason not to cherish the little flowers.

He Tianshu took them to the archway and did not go out with them. He had something to do when he returned to the camp, so he naturally had to go to the pharmacy.

Zhang Xiaohua and Li Jinfeng said goodbye to He Tianshu and went to the "Gaschi" carriage and horse shop together. Li Jinfeng was a weak scholar, not as good as Zhang Xiaohua. He had strong physical strength and was careful about money, so he naturally rode a carriage.

It was almost noon when Zhang Xiaohua bid farewell to Li Jinfeng and returned to Huanxi Villa. There was no one in the medicine field. The Piao Miao Sect's martial arts competition was imminent. This was a matter related to the future of the disciples. Even the captain He Tianshu was concerned about it, let alone Nie. The waiter and others obviously spend less time in the medicine field.

Fortunately, the medicinal materials in this medicinal field are still growing vigorously. Apart from chores such as hoeing, it is not troublesome, and Zhang Xiaohua does not mind doing more.

Zhang Xiaohua went down to the medicine field and cleaned it up in a short time. Then she sat down on the ridge of the field and carefully took out the book "Mangniu Jin" given by Zhang Xiaohu.

This internal skill book called "Mang Niu Jin" has a very thin secret book. Zhang Xiaohua is not a junior brother after all. After a quick glance, I have a clue in my heart. The method of performing the exercises in "Mang Niu Jin" is exactly the same as that of Zhang Xiaohua. The method Zhang Xiaohu mentioned before is similar, and the path of internal energy in the body is also simple. Compared with the first level of "Worry-free Heart Sutra", it is much worse. It is indeed the most easy-to-obtain internal energy method in the world!

After watching "Rang Niu Jin", Zhang Xiaohua recited it silently in her mind and compared it with the secret book. She felt that there was nothing wrong. Then she followed the secret book and sat cross-legged, with her five hearts in the sky, closed her eyes and meditated. Zhang Xiaohua did this some time ago. I have done it countless times, and now I am familiar with it.

Zhang Xiaohua closed her eyes and imagined in her mind that there was a warm current flowing in from her forehead, and then she made a swallowing gesture with Yujin, repeating, repeating, and repeating.

Until Zhang Xiaohua saw sweat on her forehead and felt depressed inside, she didn't feel any anger at all.

Zhang Xiaohua felt agitated for no reason, swallowed her saliva, and opened her eyes.

Looking at the growing medicinal herbs in front of him, and looking at the still bare medicinal field with no buds showing, Zhang Xiaohua secretly thought: "Am I the seed with no buds showing? I have no chance of getting ahead?"

Zhang Xiaohua smiled bitterly and laughed at herself, maybe she was really stupid.

Zhang Xiaohua raised her head and looked at the sky. There was still time before lunch, so she gathered her mood, crossed her legs again, closed her eyes, and did the "nine shallow and one deep" breathing.

At first, Zhang Xiaohua had not gotten over the failure of the previous "Rang Niu Jin". She could not help but have shortness of breath and difficulty entering the alley. But Zhang Xiaohua may be stupid, but what she does not lack is resilience, a character that becomes more courageous with each setback. After a while, He gradually entered an inexplicable state, and his "nine shallow and one deep" breathing gradually matched the frequency of the night, gradually stimulating Zhang Xiaohua's whole body, and the pores on his body gradually opened, Naturally, Zhang Xiaohua used the methods in the Heart Sutra to sense the vitality of the outside world.

At first, there was no sense of touch, but Zhang Xiaohua was not discouraged. In other words, he was neither happy nor sad at this time. He was in a peaceful mood and did not feel discouraged. He only knew that there was endless emptiness outside and endless pursuit. Only in this way can we have first-line results.

I don’t know how much time passed, but suddenly, Zhang Xiaohua suddenly felt a trace of the vitality of heaven and earth similar to that described in the Heart Sutra. He was overjoyed and was about to use his mental method to absorb it, but because of his lost state of mind, he could no longer feel it. .

Zhang Xiaohua opened her eyes, with a smile on her lips. Although the absorption failed the first time, it was a huge improvement for Zhang Xiaohua who had never sensed the vitality of heaven and earth.

A milestone in progress.

He, Zhang Xiaohua, finally felt alive! ! !

Zhang Xiaohua was about to do some exercise again, but when she saw the color of the sky, she couldn't help being shocked. She jumped up from the ground with a cry of "Ouch". Noon was already passed, but she didn't know there was still lunch to eat?

Not long after, Zhang Xiaohua came back slowly with a few buns in her hand and one bun in her mouth. Zhang Xiaohua's meals are still the same as before, and there is no one to deliver them to him like Mr. Yu. Naturally, no one will wait for him. The table of first-class meals also turned cold in the eager envy of Ma Jing and others. Recycle. There were only a few cold steamed buns waiting for Zhang Xiaohua, and when Zhang Xiaohua found out that Nie Xiaoer and others had not gone to eat, she couldn't help but feel relieved. If she had gone early, wouldn't she be able to enjoy a table of delicious food by herself? ?

Zhang Xiaohua, who was satisfying her hunger, still hadn't forgotten the feeling just now, and couldn't resist the urge to try again, so she ate the steamed buns and returned to the medicine field.

Sitting back on the ridge of the field, Zhang Xiaohua took a deep breath, first to calm down the fluctuations in his mood. The experience just now made him feel a little bit better. To bring the Qi into the body, he must have a peaceful state of mind, as calm as an ancient well. , put it successfully.

After a while, Zhang Xiaohua felt that the surroundings around her slowly calmed down. Knowing that it was time, she sat cross-legged, with her five hearts in the sky, and practiced the "nine shallow and one deep" thing. Sure enough, this time it went smoothly again. Entering a rather peaceful state, Zhang Xiaohua used the Heart Sutra to preach and sense the vitality of the outside world.

Not long after, Zhang Xiaohua had a new feeling. He felt that his consciousness was constantly swimming around the world outside him like a fish, as if looking for delicious food.

Zhang Xiaohua likes this feeling very much, a kind of searching and flying freely.

I don’t know how long it took, but Zhang Xiaohua once again felt a trace of the vitality of heaven and earth. This time, he was not particularly happy. It seemed that this was exactly what he expected. He followed the Heart Sutra and felt that he was like a swimming fish, as if he was still away. To draw that vitality towards him.

The vitality was originally moving downwards, but with the pull of Zhang Xiaohua's consciousness, it immediately changed its direction and slowly floated towards Zhang Xiaohua. As it approached, before Zhang Xiaohua had any other thoughts, the vitality seemed to be attracted by something. , rushed into Zhang Xiaohua's body at a rapid speed, and he didn't know which pore it passed through, but how could Zhang Xiaohua have such thoughts? He was still waiting for the vitality of heaven and earth to circulate in his body, so as to explore the secrets of inner strength and mental methods. .

It's a pity that the trace of vitality entering the body is not as described in the Heart Sutra. Zhang Xiaohua can't feel where it has gone!
