Chapter 267 Feeling Weak

Qin Shiyue said: "Very good, shopkeeper, I'm sorry to trouble you. I didn't expect that your inn doesn't look like much on the outside, but the food here is top-notch. It's really beyond appearances."

The shopkeeper's face was a little red, and he cupped his hands and said: "Uncle, I misunderstood, how can my small shop have such a big deal? This was all arranged by the previous gentleman, and he also brought the cook. My small shop doesn’t even process things like this.”

"Oh? Where is the person you are talking about? Why don't you come in and meet him?"

The shopkeeper smiled apologetically and said, "That gentleman had already left before you three came to the town. He just asked the shop to serve you well."

"What does the person you are talking about look like? How is he dressed? Can you leave his name?"

"Uncle Qin, please forgive me. That gentleman specifically asked me not to say more. I just said he was your old friend. I don't even know his name."

"Oh, that's it. Well, I won't embarrass you anymore. I'll have a rest early when I've had enough wine and food."

"Yes, sir. This inn has been emptied out. Today we will be hosting the three gentlemen. Please come with me."

After saying that, he led the three of them to the quiet courtyard at the back and said with a smile, "There are three guest rooms in this courtyard. Please take a rest. The younger one is waiting here. If you have any requests, just call."

Qin Shiyue nodded, looked at the small courtyard, and went straight to the one in the middle. Yingfei glanced at Zhang Xiaohua and chose a room of his own. The two of them had a little thought during the day, fearing that Zhang Xiaohua Escape, and in the evening I feel completely relieved, knowing that even if he runs away, he won't be able to get far.

Zhang Xiaohua smiled bitterly, looked at the shopkeeper standing respectfully at the door of the courtyard, and thought to herself: Let the shopkeeper look at the door in person, I must have given you a lot of money!

Then, he went to the last room.

The room was very tidy. It turned out to be a guest room with one master and two bedrooms. Zhang Xiaohua carefully closed the door and sat cross-legged on the bed. In the past few days, he had been with Qin Shiyue and the others, except for absorbing the vitality in the Yuan Stone. , he was meditating on the art of earth escape, and had no time to practice the Beidou Shen Fist and left-hand sword moves. Today, he was finally alone in a room, and he had no intention of practicing the boxing and sword moves. Although the Beidou Shen Fist was made by himself, Looking at the importance Ou Peng attaches to, he must have something to do with the immortal way. He doesn't want to cause trouble for himself. If Qin Shiyue sees it, he will definitely be in trouble. And he has been studying the art of earth escape in the past few days. However, he did not dare to try it easily. The auspicious three treasures who performed the Sancai Banner Formation had once pinched the magic formula with their hands. Qin Shiyue had also seen it. If she tried it in front of him, it would be asking for trouble.

Zhang Xiaohua first closed her eyes and meditated and practiced the Wuyou Heart Sutra for a while. Then she recalled the formula for the Earth Escape Technique. Based on her insights over the past few days, she picked up the formula with her hands. There are many formulas for this Earth Escape Technique. , there were actually nine of them, each one was completely different, and they also required continuity. Zhang Xiaohua, who was exposed to the magic formula for the first time, didn’t know how to start. After thinking about it, of course, after seeing the auspicious three treasures performing the magic formula in Ma Rulong’s house, Zhang Xiaohua decided to first Regardless of the continuity of the formula, first understand the first formula and then go on to it.

In fact, the performance of the magic formula is similar to the breathing method of the Heart Sutra. It pays attention to the rhythm. Where to pinch the magic formula and where to transport the true energy. If there is a master to teach you, you only need to point out the tricks. Of course, Zhang Xiaohua did not have such a blessing, so he had to explore on his own, and it was naturally extremely difficult to get started. However, this also has general benefits. After all, it is something that he has discovered by himself, and all the pros and cons are clear. As long as he gets started, everything in the future will be easy. It is easy to practice all these techniques. Unlike learning from predecessors, you still need to rely on the guidance of the master to practice other techniques. If you practice it yourself, it will be even more difficult.

Sure enough, although Zhang Xiaohua felt that she had already understood quite well in the past few days, she just needed the final practice, but once she really got started, alas, it was simply terrible. No matter how her fingers changed, they could not achieve the description in the formula. realm,

And the true energy in the body cannot cooperate with the changes of gestures no matter what.

If you are an ordinary person, you may be restless and have thoughts of relaxation.

But Zhang Xiaohua is different. This guy may not have a high IQ or a bad talent, but one good thing is that once you know the direction, you have to dive in until you find a result. Whether it is success or failure, it is all pointless. regret;

What's more, Zhang Xiaohua has already had this kind of experience in practicing the Wuyou Heart Sutra. Nothing can be accomplished in one fell swoop. Maybe it takes tens of thousands of failures to succeed once. Therefore, he is not impatient and just makes gestures over and over again. It wasn't until my fingers were sore that I took a break and absorbed a burst of vitality.

In fact, Ma Rulong in Ma Mansion has said that there are signs of recovery of the vitality of heaven and earth, but from Zhang Xiaohua's spiritual consciousness, there are not more than a few strands of vitality between heaven and earth. If he only relies on the vitality between heaven and earth, this He will definitely not be able to make any progress in the Wuyou Heart Sutra. His cultivation still depends on the Yuan Stone as big as the size of his fingertip.

This small Yuan Stone is indeed magical. Zhang Xiaohua has absorbed it with all his strength for so long, and the Yuan Qi in the Yuan Stone seems to have no sign of decreasing. Just thinking about it makes Zhang Xiaohua grin. If this is as stated in the Heart Sutra, He was about to absorb it all a few times. Even though the Yuan Stone in his purse was huge, it wouldn't last long. It was good now that this small piece had only lasted so long, so he didn't have to worry about his cultivation in the future.

Of course, Zhang Xiaohua attributed this phenomenon to the fact that she had just started practicing qi refining, and the energy she absorbed was still small. When she reached more than ten levels in the future, it would probably not be enough. But Ou Peng, Ma Rulong, and that other Emperor Shitian, didn't Saying that the vitality of heaven and earth is increasing, maybe I won’t need the Yuan Stone by then.

Zhang Xiaohua finished absorbing it and then started to try again.

I don’t know how many times I tried it, Zhang Xiaohua felt a little skinny, and she lost some expectations in her heart, and returned to her usual state of mind. Perhaps it was this state of mind without desires and desires that, in a certain practice, , suddenly felt that the magic formula in his hand had a great attraction, attracting the infuriating energy that had just reached there. This attraction was so huge that Zhang Xiaohua could not resist, and in an instant, all the infuriating energy in his body was sucked out. , poured it directly into the magic formula in his hand, Zhang Xiaohua knew that he had thoroughly understood this magic formula, and could really practice it.

So he immediately changed his gestures and began to pinch a magic formula with his hand. Maybe the magic formula was not pinched correctly, or maybe the zhenqi in the body was exhausted. In short, the second magic formula was not successful. The zhenqi that had just been drawn out immediately appeared in the air. As it dissipated in his hand, Zhang Xiaohua felt heartache for a while. This was the Qi he had cultivated for many days. Why was it all gone so suddenly?

Zhang Xiaohua quickly released her spiritual consciousness and used the "Worry-free Heart Sutra" to draw the energy that had just dissipated. This was the vitality of heaven and earth. It was too precious to be wasted.

Unfortunately, even if Zhang Xiaohua acted in time, he could only reabsorb nearly 60% of his vitality, and the remaining 40% was dissipated between heaven and earth.

However, Zhang Xiaohua has no regrets. Compared with his gains today, he is still willing to bear this loss, which is just to absorb more vitality.

Looking at the sky, Zhang Xiaohua no longer continued to try the magic formula, but took out another yuan stone from his arms, one in each hand, sat cross-legged, and absorbed it quietly.

Not long after, he fell into a deep sleep. The endless starlight once again surrounded his whole body. The Yuan Stone in his hand also emitted a faint light, which was strongly absorbed by Zhang Xiaohua's flicker. The speed was several times that of Zhang Xiaohua's absorption. Within a moment, Zhang Xiaohua's lost vitality was replenished, and the vitality in the Yuan Stone was still being sucked into the body.

In another room, Qin Shiyue and Yingfei were talking.

Qin Shiyue pointed to a bag on the table and said, "Yingfei, go out and hand over all the ancient jades collected in the past few days to the local contact point, and ask them to deliver them to the leader as soon as possible."

Yingfei stepped forward, picked up the bag, and said: "Okay, sir, the little one will go right away. However, today's thing is weird, should we avoid it first and wait until tomorrow to send it out?"

Qin Shiyue said with a smile: "It doesn't matter. Although we can't know who it is yet, it won't do any harm to us. Everything must remain unchanged to cope with the ever-changing situation. This jade is what the leader is looking forward to. It should be given to the leader in the morning. It’s good to go back.”

Yingfei smiled and said: "Actually, we can just leave things like this to the juniors, why should the labor master take charge?"

Qin Shiyue said: "Yingfei, you still don't understand the importance of this mission. If it wasn't necessary, do you think the leader would send me out? If I hadn't been here, could you have escaped from Ma Rulong in Xinji Town?"

Yingfei immediately apologized and said with a smile: "Yes, I was careless, I will take care of it now."

"By the way," Qin Shiyue stopped Yingfei and asked, "Is the boy who calls himself Ren Xiaoyao already asleep?"

"What's the point? I don't know what kind of person this guy is. He's so sleepy that he can't even wake up. If he's awake now, God will laugh."

"Did you feel anyone was following you during this period?"

"No, sir."

"You think this is strange. We have Ren Xiaoyao in our hands, why are the forces behind him not in a hurry to hide back? Is it true that he has nothing to do with this cauldron as he said?"

"Not necessarily, sir. Maybe he is just a pawn and knows very little about their organization. Even if they are caught by us, they are confident enough that we will not find any clues, so they have been abandoned."

"Well, it is possible. But no matter what, we still have to bring this burden back to the church. Whether it has nothing to do with this matter or is just a pawn, let the leader of the church judge. Anyway, the cauldron was not brought back. The leader will definitely blame me, I just hope that the other things we bring back can touch the leader's heart."
