Chapter 163 Questioning

Zhang Xiaohua said gratefully: "Sister Qiutong, for such small matters, you can just wait until you see me when you have time, or ask others to send me a message. Why do you need to come here in person?"

Qiu Tong pursed her lips and smiled and said: "I thought so too, but your thatched hut is very famous in the villa these days. I came here specially to visit it. Maybe I will also build one in the yard so that the lady can pay attention to it." to me."

Zhang Xiaohua was so embarrassed that she scratched her head and said, "Sister Qiutong is making fun of me. I built a straw shed just to practice my internal skills. Who knew it would cause so much trouble and make people misunderstand a lot."

Qiu Tong nodded and said: "I have asked the lady about your original intention. Of course, I know it, but others don't. You are so unconventional and unconventional, which of course attracts the attention of others, especially since you are now prospering in the villa. If you start, those people who don’t know what you are doing will of course pay more attention to you.”

Zhang Xiaohua was shocked and said: "No way, sister Qiutong, building a shed will cause so many things, otherwise, I'd better tear it down."

Qiu Tong waved his hand and said: "No, your straw shed will be used until the martial arts competition begins. It's all set up and there are only a few days left. Why bother again? Besides, the lady has already asked the person in charge of the warehouse to scold those boys. Sorry, if you tell me this, the lady will lose her face."

Qiutong looked around at the small thatched shed and asked with a smile, "Did you build this thatched shed yourself?"

Speaking of her thatched hut, Zhang Xiaohua immediately became energetic, her little chest puffed up, and she said proudly: "Yes, Sister Qiutong, I built it myself."

Qiu Tong praised: "It's a good match. I really didn't know you had such skills."

After hearing this, Zhang Xiaohua felt embarrassed and said, "It's nothing. When I was in Guozhuang, I often helped my father and brother ride. They are the only ones who are praised for their good rides."

Qiu Tong smiled and asked: "So how are you doing with your internal skills and mental skills? Have you found the sense of Qi?"

Zhang Xiaohua thought for a while and said: "That's about it. Staying here at night is quite quiet and is really good for practicing internal skills. I think there should be a breakthrough when the martial arts competition begins."

Qiu Tong nodded and advised him: "It is a good thing to practice martial arts hard, and my sister won't stop you, but you must do it in moderation. Don't practice desperately just because you want to participate in the martial arts competition. That is not good."

After hearing this, Zhang Xiaohua nodded seriously and said, "I know, Sister Qiutong. In fact, you also know that even if I want to practice all the time, I can't."

Qiu Tong was stunned for a moment, then understood what he meant and couldn't help but smile.

The two chatted some more, and then Qiu Tong said goodbye and returned to the inner courtyard.

Zhang Xiaohua watched Qiu Tong go away, and went to work in the fields again. But before she could water much of the land, she heard someone outside shouting again: "Zhang Xiaohua, Zhang Xiaohua, where are you?"

Zhang Xiaohua was confused, what day is today? Usually there are few people in this medicine field, and it has been even more deserted recently. But today, two people came looking for me in just a few moments. Who was it this time?

When he straightened up and took a closer look, it turned out to be his cheap master, He Tianshu.

Zhang Xiaohua felt strange again. He Tianshu's voice was very familiar to her, but it sounded strange just now.

Zhang Xiaohua walked to the ridge of the field and said with a smile: "Captain He, did you call me?"

He Tianshu said in a hoarse voice: "Of course it's me. Is there anyone else in Sakon?"

Zhang Xiaohua asked: "What's wrong with your throat?"

He Tianshu frowned and said: "Who knows, it was fine yesterday, but it became like this early this morning."

Zhang Xiaohua looked at He Tianshu's two big dark circles and asked, "You didn't sleep last night?"

He Tianshu scratched his head and said, "I fell asleep. I fell asleep just looking at it. I don't know when I fell asleep."

Zhang Xiaohua didn't ask why He Tianshu was looking for him. He first took out the two pages of secret books from his arms, gave them back to He Tianshu, and said: "Captain He,

I'll give this back to you first. "

He Tianshu seemed to have known the result for a long time. He stretched out his hand to take it and said, "What? You have to pay me back in just one night. You know how difficult it is. Don't say any sarcastic words in the future. What you need to practice martial arts is to be down-to-earth." A pragmatic style and pragmatism will definitely be useless.”

Zhang Xiaohua opened her mouth, wanting to refute something, but He Tianshu was right. Of course it was difficult inside. Naturally, he couldn't practice without inner strength. He wanted to refute, but he didn't know what to say, so he might as well just be a dull gourd.

He Tianshu was very happy to see Zhang Xiaohua's humble attitude and said nothing, and said: "You really built a straw shed here, I thought you were joking. By the way, that "Yang Niu Jin" "Are you feeling angry?"

Zhang Xiaohua shook his head, and He Tianshu had great sympathy on his face. He patted his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, this "Yangniu Jin" is the simplest. I think you will gain something if you understand it more in the dead of night."

Then, He Tianshu took out another book page from his arms and said: "After yesterday's hard work, which made my voice hoarse, I have learned some steps again. I just went to your house to look for you, but I didn't know you were actually there. This medicine field has settled down, it seems that you are determined to participate in the martial arts competition, let's go to the woods, I will teach you what I just learned, I hope you can make some achievements in a month's time."

After hearing this, Zhang Xiaohua cursed in her heart: "You have worked so hard to understand the footwork, but it can actually make your voice hoarse. You are also the first in the world."

Hearing that He Tianshu was going to the woods, he advised: "Captain He, just stay here at the medicine field. The woods are still some distance away."

He Tianshu listened, straightened his face, and said seriously: "The gang leader has repeatedly told us that we only need two of us to practice this "Piaomiao Step", and there is no obstruction around the medicine field. If someone learns it secretly, we have to help regulate it. Those who serve must not be careless."

Zhang Xiaohua had no choice but to follow him.

In the woods, He Tianshu demonstrated what he had learned last night and asked Zhang Xiaohua to follow him. He thought that Zhang Xiaohua learned very well last time and learned it with almost no difficulty. It should be smooth sailing this time, but who knows, Zhang Xiaohua learned it very well. Xiaohua had just learned it halfway, but something went wrong. It was a simple step, but Zhang Xiaohua couldn't take it even if she learned it like this. She barely put her feet in place, and her body shape changed again, and she couldn't continue to the next step.

He Tianshu was depressed, and it seemed that his good days were coming to an end.

So, He Tianshu endured his temper and taught him step by step. However, no matter how He Tianshu explained or gave guidance, Zhang Xiaohua just couldn't learn the footwork according to his requirements.

He Tianshu was a little anxious. He demonstrated step by step in front of Zhang Xiaohua, looked into his eyes and asked: "Zhang Xiaohua, do you understand?"

Zhang Xiaohua was also helpless and said: "I understand, Captain He."

"Then why can't you put your feet here?" He Tianshu asked, pointing to his steps.

"I know it's OK to put it there, but I just can't put it down. A kind of inertia pushes me, and my feet can't be placed where you want them to be." Zhang Xiaohua also looked innocent. Yes, I clearly knew that I should put it in the place pointed by He Tianshu, but my whole body seemed to be disobedient. It was really weird.

He Tianshu wanted to reprimand Zhang Xiaohua again, but he immediately thought of Zhang Xiaohua's learning of boxing, and couldn't help but sighed. Zhang Xiaohua was not qualified. When learning boxing, he could let Nie Xiaoer and others teach him and deal with it by himself, but this The first time I learned "Piao Miao Step", I had a chance to do it because of Zhang Xiaohua's influence. In any case, I couldn't be as perfunctory as teaching boxing.

He Tianshu thought for a while, waved his hand and said, "Let's do this. You practice what you have learned here first. I will go back and take a rest. When I have enough energy tomorrow, I will teach you seriously."

At the end of the sentence, it seemed that he had become fierce, and there was a feeling that he would never give up until Zhang Xiaohua was taught.

Zhang Xiaohua responded, and He Tianshu turned around and walked out of the woods. Just as he was about to leave, he heard Zhang Xiaohua's timid voice behind him, and asked in a low voice: "Well, Captain He, please go back and rest. Can you put the people on the second floor?" Let me see the footwork.”

He Tianshu stopped in response, thought for a moment, took out a few pages of paper from his arms, turned around and handed them to Zhang Xiaohua, and said: "Look carefully, I hope you can find something. Anyway, I don't plan to read it today. I'm going to rest first, and I hope I can see a brand new Zhang Xiaohua when I wake up tomorrow."

"Brand new?" Zhang Xiaohua didn't understand and asked, "My clothes are old and dirty?"

He Tianshu laughed "haha" and said, "He is Zhang Xiaohua who is no longer stupid."

After saying that, he walked out of the woods with a hoarse smile and seemed to have encountered something very interesting.

Zhang Xiaohua listened to her cheap master's laughter, curled her lips, and whispered: "I didn't say I wasn't stupid, look at your smile, it's like a broken gong, what's there to be proud of!"

When He Tianshu walked out of sight, Zhang Xiaohua took a closer look at the secret book in his hand. These thin pages contained all the second-level footwork, including some that Zhang Xiaohua had already learned.

Zhang Xiaohua picked out the part he had practiced just now and looked at it carefully. When he finished it, he found nothing unusual. It was all what He Tianshu had understood, and there was nothing wrong with it. What is the reason for this? Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help scratching her head.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Xiaohua came up with a way. He read the page he learned earlier and the page he just learned next, and connected the footwork recorded on them to understand.

Looking at the notes and footwork in the secret book, Zhang Xiaohua's mind slowly reappeared in Zhang Xiaohua's mind a figure performing the Piaomiao Step. That figure was walking step by step according to the records in the Piao Miao Step secret book. During Xiaohua's difficulty today, the figure was not walking in the position of Professor He Tianshu according to Zhang Xiaohua's understanding, but was stepping in another place according to inertia. Zhang Xiaohua's eyes lit up when she thought of this. Isn't this step the next to the difficulty? a step? !

Is this an extra step for nothing?

Zhang Xiaohua, who was full of doubts, continued to think about it. When the figure in his mind was used again according to Zhang Xiaohua's understanding, he first ignored this step and took another step directly, and the next step did not follow the secret book. record, but returned to the place where Zhang Xiaohua could never step out.

Zhang Xiaohua suddenly wondered, are these two footwork records reversed? He hurriedly looked at the small print next to it, and sure enough, the record of these two footwork was very brief. It was just mentioned in a nutshell and not detailed. Even if it was reversed, the explanation was still reasonable.

With a smile on his lips, Zhang Xiaohua performed the technique in the clearing of the woods. As a result, it was in line with Zhang Xiaohua's guess. If the two steps were reversed, he would be able to perform the technique smoothly. In an instant, Zhang Xiaohua reversed these two steps in her mind.

This reversal of footwork is easy to say but difficult to do. If He Tianshu were here, he would definitely not be like this. It can't be said that Zhang Xiaohua is so smart, or that He Tianshu's thinking is inert and rigid. It's just that the education they received was different. From the beginning of Zhang Xiaohua's martial arts practice, he thought and made his own decisions. He pieced together the only set of Beidou Shenquan by himself. From the beginning, he had a habit of doubting everything and breaking everything. He can use whatever moves are suitable for him. He dares to change the boxing techniques that others have practiced for many years, let alone this footwork?

And He Tianshu has received formal martial arts education from the Piaomiao Sect since he was a child, and is accustomed to textbook-style thinking. The reputation of the three magical skills of the Piaomiao Sect has long been imprinted in his mind as a myth. When he saw this Piaomiao Step, he could only Able to learn and imitate with a pious heart, he never dares to doubt or question the authority of this footwork. Even if it is wrong, he will only study and accept it conscientiously.

This cannot but be said to be an educational tragedy.

Now that he had made this discovery, Zhang Xiaohua was no longer polite. He had several differences with Professor He Tianshu in the section he had studied earlier. This time, he changed them all. Moreover, seeing that it was still early, Zhang Xiaohua did not reply. Medicine Field, I want to master the remaining second level of ethereal footwork in the woods.

Of course, he didn't dare to expect that he could complete the understanding of Piaomiaobu, which He Tianshu had not been able to understand for many days, in just half a day.

But the result was beyond Zhang Xiaohua’s expectation, because she already had the experience of learning many kinds of boxing techniques, and she also had the knowledge of some footwork at the beginning of the second level of "Piao Miao Bu". Although there were many footwork in the latter part, in Zhang Xiaohua’s With the help of Xiaohua's strong memory and the figure in his mind, in a whole afternoon, he completely incorporated the remaining footwork into his little basket, and the entire second-level footwork had a smooth flow in his mind. However, after all, there is a gap between theory and practice. Although he has understood it and knows how to practice, it is still difficult for Zhang Xiaohua to perform it step by step.

Zhang Xiaohua is extremely satisfied with this result. What is "Piao Miao Step"? It is one of the three magical skills of Piao Miao School. Although the first three levels are the basis of footwork, they are also extremely mysterious. Even He Tianshu's level is The steps were difficult, but I was able to understand it in just half a day. What else could I say? Now that the footwork is already in your mind, you can learn it gradually as you become more proficient.

Just when Zhang Xiaohua was about to practice again, suddenly there was a light thunder in the distance, a gust of cool wind blew by, and little raindrops fell from the sky. The forest suddenly remembered the "cracking" sound.

It's raining.

Zhang Xiaohua gave up the idea of ​​striking while the iron was hot and ran quickly towards the small courtyard. Just halfway there, he thought of the books in the hayloft again, so he had no choice but to run towards the hayloft in the medicine field.

When they arrived at the thatched shed, it was already raining heavily. Zhang Xiaohua checked it briefly and found that the quality of his thatched shed was not bad. It was not a shoddy project and the rainwater did not leak in at all.

Standing in the hut, looking at the pouring rain outside, Zhang Xiaohua gave up the idea of ​​going back to the hut, lit an oil lamp, and read a book with peace of mind.

The raindrops hit the top of the thatched hut, and the sound of "crackling" continued, and the thunder in the distance also kept coming. From time to time, there were flashes of light. It was so bright at night, and the rain hit the hut. Zhang Xiaohua stayed up to read at night, even if there was no red sleeves to add fragrance. , also has a unique flavor.

At least, the cold wind blowing in is not something that ordinary people can bear.

It is also getting deeper, but the rain shows no sign of stopping. The sound of the hayloft is getting denser and seems to be getting louder. The sound of light thunder in the distance is also getting louder, as if it is getting closer. Zhang Xiaohua closed the book and carefully put it in her arms, then blew out the oil lamp and sat down cross-legged, which was her daily homework to introduce Qi into the body.

After Zhang Xiaohua fell into concentration and carefully sensed the vitality of the world outside, he was delighted to find that the vitality on this rainy day was actually a bit more than usual, and every trace of vitality was lively and lively. It seemed that there was a little more vitality. Zhang Xiaohua had a feeling I feel like a thought pops up in my mind, these heaven and earth vitality are very fresh.

But it was these fresh and lively vitality of heaven and earth that caused a little difficulty for Zhang Xiaohua to draw Qi.

These vitality did not come from top to bottom like usual, but instead scurryed around like swimming fish. Zhang Xiaohua's perception could not introduce them into her body as easily as usual, so Zhang Xiaohua had to increase the size of the energy. The intensity of perception is like a fishing net, releasing it in pieces.

Hard work really pays off. After Zhang Xiaohua patiently pulled it for a while, he successfully introduced a ray of fresh vitality into his body. As expected, this ray of vitality was somewhat different from the previous one. Although Zhang Xiaohua could not fully perceive its appearance in the body, he could faintly feel it. That kind of liveliness, knowing that it is in that place in the body.

The successful introduction of the first ray of vitality seemed to build a bridge between Zhang Xiaohua's body and the outside world. More fresh vitality rushed to Zhang Xiaohua's body like moths to the flame, and was introduced in an endless stream.

Just as Zhang Xiaohua was happily introducing Qi into his body, the liveliness spread all over his body. At this time, Zhang Xiaohua's thoughts became even easier. He silently recited the Heart Sutra and let this lively feeling flow along the meridians where he had previously thought. After getting up, it quickly circulates for a week, and more vitality is introduced into the body and joins this invisible trickle.

But at this time, an accident happened. There was a loud "click" and a thunder hit directly on top of Zhang Xiaohua's sturdy thatched hut.
