Martial Arts Song

Chapter 364 Reminder
Seeing the [Qi] value breaking through 10, Chen Qing suddenly had a feeling of "the clouds will finally clear and the moon will appear".

More than half a year has passed since I broke through the "Jingbian" in Qianyang.

For so long, the upper limit of the [Qi] value in Chen Qing's left eye has remained at around 9 every day, and it has been unable to pass the level of 10.

Although he knew that he was about to break through this level after the "Qi Change" just now, when he really saw that the [Qi] value broke through 10, he still couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

"Hey! Did you hear me?"

When Chen Qing was sighing in his heart, Liu Yilin raised her hand and waved it in front of his eyes several times. When there was no response, she suddenly put her hands on her hips in anger and shouted in a slightly louder voice.

From her perspective, Chen Qing suddenly lowered his eyes and ignored her, which made her even more angry.

After hearing Liu Yilin's roar, Chen Qing shifted his attention away from the [Spirit] value in his left eye and looked towards the other party.

"I heard you. It wasn't my idea not to tell you to do this. If you want to blame someone, go blame your uncle. I'm innocent."

Chen Qing said with a smile.

As he spoke, he raised his hand and rubbed Liu Yilin's head, who was several heads shorter than him, messing up Liu Yilin's combed hair.

Liu Yilin, whose hair was ruffled, became even angrier. She raised her hands, grabbed Chen Qing's wrist and shook it off, then wanted to say something.

But just as she was about to speak, she was suddenly stunned. The next second, she frowned and looked thoughtful.

"What was I going to say?"

After being interrupted and patted on the head by Chen Qing, she forgot for a moment what she wanted to say.

"I even forgot what I wanted to say. It seems like it's not something important."

After hearing this, Chen Qing walked towards the door and said, "If that's the case, then I'll wait until you remember it and I'll talk about it next time I come. Now I'm leaving."

As soon as he finished speaking, he opened the door and walked into the living room.

After hearing what he said, Liu Yilin actually felt that it made a lot of sense!

In the living room, Liu family bodyguards once again filled every corner of the room.

After seeing Chen Qing come out, they were already used to it and just took a look at him and ignored him.

Chen Qing did not stay in the living room for long. He walked straight to the door of the living room, then opened the door and walked out, leaving the garden and coming to the roadside.

During this process, the medicine he had drunk before was still being digested, continuously pushing up his [Qi] value.

"According to my previous experience, the 'Qi' value should be able to be replenished to the same level as the 'Jing' value, which is also 30!"

After leaving Liu Yilin's house, Chen Qing's attention returned to the [Qi] value.

The relationship between "essence" and "qi" is like the relationship between a wooden barrel and water.

The size of the barrel determines how much water it can hold.

Chen Qing's current [Essence] value is 30, so after he breaks the upper limit of 10 in "Qi Change", his [Qi] value should be able to continue to increase to the same level as his [Essence] value.

With this in mind, he did not leave Xicheng in a hurry, but walked along Yongyuan Road, walking towards the "Hongjiang" Bund in the concession, buying food along the way.

He planned to verify this hypothesis by eating.

In this way, the journey that originally only took more than 20 minutes took Chen Qing an hour and a half to get there!
When Chen Qing arrived at the "Hongjiang" Bund, it was already past one in the afternoon, almost two o'clock.

Although he had eaten a large amount of food, his appearance did not look exaggerated, except that his stomach was a little bulging.

The stomach is an organ that has elasticity.

When a person eats a lot for a long time, his stomach will gradually become larger to hold more food.

On the contrary, it will become smaller and smaller.

This is also the reason why Chen Qing's stomach turned into a "beer belly" when he drank almost a bucket of medicine liquid, but it returned to its original state after digesting it during the soaking process of the medicine liquid.

Chen Qing's [Essence] value has reached 30, and after a round of internal organ training and halfway through the second round, all aspects of his body can no longer be measured completely by common sense.

Chen Qing was seen walking down the common road on the Bund of "Hongjiang" while constantly observing the [Qi] value at the bottom of his left eye:
【Qi: 15.23947789】

Compared to an hour and a half ago, his [Chi] value has increased by 5 points.

He understood that this was the continued digestion of the bucket of medicine he had drunk, not what he had eaten in the past hour and a half.

Digestion naturally has different levels of difficulty.

The essence of liquid medicine is naturally easier to absorb and digest, while solid food is relatively difficult.

However, considering Chen Qing's physical condition, the difference is not that big.

"It's a pity that the preparation of the liquid medicine takes a lot of time, and I can't stay at Yiyi's house for long. Otherwise, I would have asked her to prepare two more buckets of liquid medicine so that I can directly fill up the 'Chi' value before leaving."

Looking at the [Qi] value at the bottom of his left eye, Chen Qing pondered.

After Yue Suchun said that she was being targeted by the Military Control Commission's internal investigation team and that their investigations would gradually investigate her interpersonal relationships, Chen Qing could no longer stay at Liu Yilin's house.

People are like this. If they don’t know something, they won’t have corresponding worries.

But after knowing it, I can't help but feel corresponding anxiety.

It is indeed time-consuming to prepare two barrels of medicinal liquid. From selecting the herbs to boiling them, it only takes two or three hours at most.

If he had not heard what Yue Suchun said, he could have continued to stay at Liu Yilin's house and replenished his [Qi] value before leaving.

But after listening to it, he would start to think. It would take two or three hours to prepare the medicine, and then it would take another two or three hours for him to drink it and then soak in the medicine. A total of five or six hours would be less than half a day.

What if the Military Control Commission’s investigation team happened to arrive during this period?
In order to avoid this situation, he could only leave Liu Yilin's house as soon as possible and find a way to replenish his energy.

"Sir, going to East City?"

While observing the [Qi] value at the bottom of his left eye, Chen Qing walked and soon reached the river bank of the ferry.

He casually came to a ferry, and the boatman immediately came out and asked with a smile.

Chen Qing nodded and boarded the boat directly.

Seeing this, the boatman didn't say anything. He quickly untied the rope tied to the boat pile on the shore, then came to the stern and began to row the boat, leaving the river bank and heading towards Dongcheng on the opposite bank.

More than twenty minutes later.

The ferry docked.

Chen Qing continued to observe the rising Qi value at the bottom of his left eye. At the same time, he paid the boat fare, got off the boat and walked towards Kowloon Avenue above Sanyang Ferry.

When he arrived at Kowloon Avenue, he was immediately surrounded by rickshaw drivers waiting there, soliciting business and enthusiastically asking him where he was going:
"Where are you going, sir?"

"Can't you go, sir?"

"Would you like to take a ride, sir?"

The news that the Ryuo warship arrived at the "Hōkai" this morning seemed to have no effect on these drivers.

On the other side of the river, at the Bund ferry crossing "Hongjiang", the number of passengers surged, people were rushing back and forth, and the atmosphere was tense.

But the people in East City, whether they are boatmen, coachmen, or people from other industries, are all the same as before, with no changes.

Separated by a river, they seem like two different worlds.

But in fact, this is the difference between reading and not reading.

Most of the people in Dongcheng are illiterate workers from other places who have poor sensitivity to information.

On the other hand, in West City, most people are educated and have received higher education, and they have a keen sense of information.

Even if there are people in Xicheng who have not read much and have an insensitive sense of information, the people around them are people with a sensitive sense of information. After long-term contact, they can subtly change this person's dullness.

The situation in Dongcheng is just the opposite.

However, Chen Qing didn't care about what happened to these people in Dongcheng. Facing the inquiries of the drivers around him, he thought about it, got on a random driver's car, and said to the driver, "Go to Sanlin."

He did not choose "Yunshan Road" as his new home.

Although he didn't care about the life and death of other people in Dongcheng, there were two people he cared about a little.

That is Lin Manli and his apprentice, Jiang Ying.

Now that the Ryuying warship has just arrived, he plans to give a warning before the East City gets into chaos.

Of course, this is not his main itinerary.

After he went to "Sanlin" to give the reminder, he prepared to go to "Chenxing" to look for Lu Hongfeng.

Since he wanted to learn the "Qi training" skills from the other party, he naturally had to make contact with him as soon as possible.

It just so happens that I have nothing to do right now, so I might as well go over there and get familiar with the place first.

"Okay, sir, please take a seat."

After telling the destination and negotiating the price, the rickshaw driver immediately shouted happily, then pulled up the rickshaw and drove away.

Ten minutes later.

The rickshaw arrived in Sanlin District.

Following Chen Qing's instructions, the driver drove the car all the way to Lane 276, Zhaole Road before stopping.

"Sir, here we are."

After stopping the car, the driver immediately turned around with a smile and said to Chen Qing in the car.

Chen Qing nodded, then took out money to pay the fare, got off the car and walked into the alley, all the way to No. 24, Lin Manli's home.

"Dong dong dong."

After raising his hand and knocking on the door, Chen Qing waited quietly.

After a while, there was a "crash" sound from upstairs and the window was opened.

Lin Manli peeked down from above.

When she saw Chen Qing at the door, she showed undisguised joy on her face: "Wait a moment, I'll come down and open the door for you!"

After saying that, she shrank back, and then a series of "thump thump" sounds of footsteps coming down the stairs were heard from the room.

Chen Qing stood at the door, listening to the noise inside, and gradually, he frowned.

The [God] value increased again, and this time the increase was very large, and his five senses became sharper than before.

However, he did not hear any sound indicating the presence of a second person in the room.

Where is Jiang Ying?
This doubt arose in his mind.

When he was beginning to wonder, Lin Manli came downstairs and opened the door for him.

There was a click, and Lin Manli pushed the door open with a slight panting smile and said, "You're here."

But Chen Qing frowned slightly and asked, "Where's Xiaoying?"

Lin Manli was stunned when she heard this, and subconsciously asked: "How do you know Xiaoying is not here?"

After that, she immediately replied: "Xiaoying went back to Chenhang yesterday. She goes back once a week, usually when it's almost dark, and comes back early the next morning. It was always daytime when you came, so you didn't encounter her... Strange, she should have come back this morning, why hasn't she come back yet? It's already noon..."

As she spoke, she also looked up at the gloomy sky.

After hearing this, Chen Qing frowned immediately.

After a brief thought, he said, "You should buy some rice and flour to store at home during this period. It is best to buy some that can be stored for a long time. The more the better."

Lin Manli was stunned again. She asked, "What's going on? Why do you want to buy these things and stockpile them?"

"Did you read the news in the newspaper this morning?"

Chen Qing asked.

Hearing this, Lin Manli couldn't help but frowned and said, "I didn't see it, but I heard those kids selling newspapers shouting... Is it related to the Ryuying warship coming here?"

"Ah."

Chen Qing nodded and whispered, "There may be a war in Hu Hai."

As soon as these words came out, Lin Manli's expression instantly became nervous, and she stammered, "No... No way..."

"Anyway, just listen to me and buy more rice and flour to stock up."

Chen Qing said, "Okay, I've reminded you. It's up to you whether you want to listen or not. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

"Ah? You're leaving now?!"

Hearing that Chen Qing was leaving, Lin Manli was stunned, "Don't you want to come in and sit for a while?"

Chen Qing narrowed his eyes and said, "Xiaoying didn't come back on time. I think she might have run into trouble. You should be aware of the infighting among the workers in Dongcheng. Although she has learned Kung Fu for a while and has practiced it well, she is still no match for others. I am a little worried, so I'll go check on Chen Xing."

When Chen Qing met Lin Manli, Lin Manli was being bullied by a man named "Bao Guangxing" and was forced into a desperate situation.

Although Chen Qing didn't ask, Lin Manli later took the initiative to tell him about it.

The middle-aged man named "Bao Guangxing" was actually her family's "creditor". He deceived her parents into owing a huge sum of money under the guise of doing business. Later, her parents ran away and hid. "Bao Guangxing" has been forcing her to pay back the money, asking her to sell the house or become a concubine to pay off the debt.

After being forced into a desperate situation, Lin Manli happened to meet Huang Lan, so she finally hired a killer to kill her.

Of course, this is what Lin Manli said to Chen Qing.

As for whether it was true or not, Chen Qing did not check it, nor did he care much about it.

However, he had been in contact with Lin Manli for some time, and he felt that Lin Manli's mind was not that complicated. He felt that it was 70% to 80% likely to be true.

really!

After hearing Chen Qing's words, Lin Manli immediately empathized with him.

"really!"

Lin Manli frowned, nodded in agreement, and said, "Xiaoying is such a well-behaved child, it's impossible for her not to come back on time for no reason. You should go and look for her. I'll go out and buy some rice and flour now!"

"Ah."

Chen Qing nodded.

He was quite satisfied with Lin Manli's advice.

Afterwards, Chen Qing left the alley first, came to Zhaole Road, and hailed a rickshaw.

"Where are you going, sir?"

When a rickshaw stopped in front of him, the driver asked him his destination with a smile.

After Chen Qing got on the car, he said directly: "Go to Chenxing."

More than ten minutes later...

The rickshaw that Chen Qing was riding took him to Chenxing District.

After Chen Qing paid and got off the rickshaw at the roadside, he hailed a rickshaw in the area.

When the local rickshaw driver asked him where he was going, he replied without hesitation, "Go to 'Qijianmen'."
