Martial Arts Song

Chapter 379 Guidance
"You're going too far with this question."

Luo Zongping said calmly: "But I can also answer you. I left Hu Hai during this period and went to another place. As for where I went and what I did, this is my personal business, you don't need to know."

"…I didn't make myself clear. I'm sorry."

Chen Qing apologized and said, "I actually want to ask, Mr. Luo, what areas of 'Hu Hai' have you been active in during this period? Have you ever met any special people, such as some suspicious people from the Western Continent?"

What he actually wanted to ask was what He Xihong mentioned, about the peerless extraordinary person from Western Continent who had set his sights on him.

That peerless and extraordinary person from Western Continent led Lu Tianyuan and He Xihong onto the path of "killing" respectively, and now he is targeting him again.

Although he asked Yue Suchun about this matter, Yue Suchun did not explain it clearly, and he only got a general information that the other party was from Western Land.

Because Yue Suchun was an eyewitness at the time, perhaps the situation was that the person involved was confused.

Therefore, he wanted to change his perspective to see if he could get other useful information.

"Suspicious Westerner?"

When Luo Zongping heard his question, his brows furrowed. "I've said before, I've been somewhere else during this time, not in Hu Hai, so I'm afraid I can't answer your question. And what do you want to ask about the suspicious people from Western Land that you mentioned?"

Chen Qing also knew that his way of asking questions was too obscure.

But this matter involves He Xihong.

But now He Xihong has embarked on the "path of killing" and can be regarded as a real devil.

The family diagonally opposite Liu Yilin's was wiped out before. Although it was because Lu Tianyuan was behind this family, from a secular perspective, the act of wiping out a family is unacceptable to the world.

Although Luo Zongping is open-minded, he may not be able to tolerate such behavior.

Therefore, he asked very carefully, wanting to direct the question to that extraordinary person from the subtle details, and did not want to bring He Xihong into his sight.

But obviously, this question is a bit confusing.

After hearing what Luo Zongping said, Chen Qing thought about it and asked in a different way.

"Master Luo, are there any peerless masters like Master Cang and Master Jue in the West Continent?"

Chen Qing asked.

After hearing this, Luo Zongping frowned.

He looked at Chen Qing, stared at him for a moment, and suddenly said: "What you mean by these words is that a peerless extraordinary person from the Western Continent has appeared in Hu Hai?"

Combining Chen Qing's previous words, Luo Zongping thought for a moment and then went straight to the point.

Moreover, he looked directly at Chen Qing and said, "You are beating around the bush, is it because this extraordinary person from the Western Continent is related to someone you know? If so, you can just tell me about it directly. I won't ask where your information comes from. I will use my information channels to verify this matter."

Chen Qing was silent for a while after hearing this.

After a moment, he nodded and said, "Yes! As far as I know, there is a peerless extraordinary person from the Western Continent coming to Hu Hai. This person is very good at "smoke and mirrors". Apart from knowing that he is from the Western Continent, nothing else can be judged as true or false. I heard that he was also involved in many major events in the past!"

After telling Luo Zongping all the known information, Chen Qing looked at Luo Zongping and asked, "Teacher Luo, do you know who this person is?"

Xilu's peerless and extraordinary existence is on the same level as the peerless masters.

Presumably, the number is equally rare.

In this case, the reputation must be very loud, and perhaps even experts like Luo Zongping have heard of it.

He wanted to see if he could learn something from Luo Zongping after he provided this information.

However, after hearing his words, Luo Zongping frowned and thought for a long time.

Finally, he shook his head and replied, "The situation in the Western Continent is different from that in the Eastern Continent. People there are more self-centered, and the peerless extraordinary people among them are even more individualistic. They rarely get involved in the political party disputes and disputes between countries in the Western Continent. At least when the three Western Continent powers, Liege, Lika, and Lanxi, invaded the Eastern Continent, we did not see any peerless extraordinary people participating in them."

"Of course, it may be that the means of the peerless and extraordinary are not something that people of my level can see. In short, I don't have much impression or information about the peerless and extraordinary people in the Western Continent, so I don't know who the person you are talking about is."

"Ok."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qing nodded slightly.

Even though he just wanted to give it a try, he ended up not getting any useful information, which inevitably made Chen Qing a little disappointed.

At the same time, this also made him realize that although Luo Zongping's information channels were well-informed, they were still somewhat inferior to the official organizations such as the Central State Military Control Commission.

At least Yue Suchun could still say that the extraordinary person was involved in many major events.

As for Luo Zongping, he didn't know any information at all.

Of course, he did not say that he looked down on Luo Zongping because of this. Although the other party was a great master who had achieved the "Three Huas Transformation", the peerless master was at a higher level than him, so it was normal for the other party not to know about the existence of this level.

Just like he currently doesn’t know many things about the great master of “Three Huas Transformation”.

In fact, if it weren't for He Xihong's reminder and Yue Suchun, his uncle who held a high position in the Military Control Commission, he wouldn't even know about this extraordinary existence, let alone other information.

Just when Chen Qing was feeling a little disappointed.

Luo Zongping spoke again, with a serious expression, "But if what you said is true, then we must take it seriously. Liuying's warships have arrived in the waters of 'Huhai', and Xilu's peerless extraordinary has appeared in 'Huhai'. I don't know if there is a conspiracy between the two..."

As he spoke, Luo Zongping's eyes were already flickering with deep thought.

When Chen Qing saw this, he felt something in his heart.

The existence at this level of peerless transcendence corresponds to the peerless master.

This is simply not something ordinary people can handle.

But Luo Zongping's current look clearly showed that he was thinking about countermeasures, which was somewhat beyond his ability to worry about.

With the wisdom shown by Luo Zongping, he should not do such useless work that will only waste his own energy.

Combined with the fact that the other party was well-informed and his mysterious whereabouts last month, Chen Qing suddenly felt that there might be some organization behind Luo Zongping.

This organization provided Luo Zongping with a relatively well-informed information channel, but this information channel was delayed and clearly did not belong to the central government.

But at the same time, the power of this organization is not small, so great that it can influence the existence of peerless extraordinary beings...

As these thoughts flashed through Chen Qing's mind, he said, "I guess only a peerless master can intervene in this matter. It's useless for us to think so much here. Teacher Luo, I have one last question."

His words brought Luo Zongping back to reality. Luo Zongping's thoughtful eyes returned to normal, and he looked at Chen Qing and said, "Ask."

After hearing this, Chen Qing asked, "Teacher Luo, my last question is, what is the principle of Qigong practice?"

This was his last question.

It’s not that he didn’t have other questions, but one must know what he is doing.

Although Luo Zongping allowed him to ask questions and seemed to have no limit on the number of questions, it was impossible for him to keep asking questions without knowing the answer.

Luo Zongping is a great master of "Three Huas Transformation". Although he has achieved "Double Huas Transformation" and is not far from "Divine Transformation", he is not "Three Huas Transformation" after all.

The most important thing is that the other party is his elder and has been guiding him all the way. Whether out of respect or gratitude, he cannot keep asking all kinds of questions like interrogating a prisoner.

Therefore, the number of questions he set for himself at the beginning was three.

On this basis, the natural step is to select the three questions he most wants to ask, which are the three questions he is asking now.

The first question is used to make a general judgment about Luo Zongping and his conjectures.

The second question was about himself, but also a further test of Luo Zongping's depth.

As for the third question, it has nothing to do with these.

He simply took advantage of Luo Zongping's love of teaching and asked him questions about Qigong.

He did not ask the other party to teach him Qigong, because the martial artists of Yang State always attach great importance to inheritance and will not easily pass on their skills to others. If he asked Luo Zongping to teach him Qigong, it would be an act of not being able to see his own side clearly, and there is a high probability that he would be rejected and would easily arouse disgust.

But it is different when asking about the principles of Qigong practice.

This is like asking about the essence of "training essence" or "training qi" or "training spirit".

It does not involve any exercises, but it is the essence of the art. It allows people to understand the principles, making it easier to "practice essence", "practice qi", or "practice spirit". No matter what situation you encounter, there are clues to follow, and you can handle it properly based on the essential principles.

This is the most important thing he should understand before he wants to learn Qigong.

"Ok?"

When Luo Zongping heard his third question, he was obviously stunned.

Afterwards, he looked Chen Qing up and down again, and asked in surprise: "Your Qi training has transformed?"

Chen Qing didn't waste any words. He snapped his fingers towards the large round table in front of him. A white mist instantly burst out from his fingertips, and with a "pop" sound, it smashed a ceramic wine glass on the large round table.

Luo Zongping, who saw this scene, showed a trace of surprise in his eyes, then he turned his head again to look at Chen Qing and said, "Although you have the foundation of 'Jingbian', it is much easier for you to practice Qi, but it has only been less than half a year, and you have actually transformed your 'Qi'. It seems that you have encountered a lot during this period!"

“There are some chance encounters…”

Chen Qing smiled and nodded in acknowledgement, but did not elaborate.

Luo Zongping did not ask any more questions, and said calmly: "The essence of Qigong training is actually very simple. Different methods of qigong training are combined with a strong physique or mental will, which ultimately show different Qigong training. For example, Master Lu's 'sharp sword energy' is combined with his sharp mental will, so that he can cut out the sword energy that splits rivers! But the specific method of tempering the will is the secret of their Qijian Sect, and it is also the foundation of their martial arts school."

"For example, Master Wang from the Die Zhang Martial Arts School just now, his Die Zhang Martial Arts School's Qigong training skill 'Triple Layered Cloud Palm' needs to be used together with the physical muscles to produce the shock force, which can achieve the effect of the three forces simultaneously superimposed to hit the opponent."

"And Master Fu Yong's powerful punch..."

Luo Zongping directly cited one example after another, and all of them used the master who was here just now as an example.

Chen Qing listened very carefully, with a look of realization appearing on his face from time to time.

After talking for more than half an hour and giving many examples, Luo Zongping finally concluded: "... this is the essence of Qigong. Different ways of breathing, combined with physical or spiritual secrets, can produce different Qigong effects. If you are talented enough and have learned enough Qigong, you can even create your own unique Qigong!"

"Of course, don't try it recklessly. The ancients have long summarized all the safe meridian routes for the circulation of 'true qi' based on their experience from generation to generation. Most of the qi training skills are created on the basis of following safe meridian routes. As for those unsafe qi meridian routes, some qi will not matter if you pass through them once or twice. At most, you will feel a little pain and cause some minor injuries, which can be healed by resting for a while."

"But some meridian routes are absolutely forbidden areas! If the 'true qi' gets close to them, you will be in excruciating pain. If you really try your luck, you will be disabled at best, or die at worst! You must be very careful!"

After that, Luo Zongping paused and said, "Next time we meet, I will lend you my training notes. It contains the forbidden area vein map passed down by my master. You can refer to it."

Luo Zongping is never stingy when it comes to giving advice.

After listening to this, Chen Qing immediately stood up, bowed slightly, and thanked him with his hands clasped: "Thank you, Mr. Luo, for your guidance!"

Hearing this, Luo Zongping just waved his hand and said, "Since you are a disciple of the White Demon Tiger and have inherited the Four Demon Sects, after such a long time of contact, you should have been able to see that this is my Tao, right? It is also beneficial for me to guide you, so it is a mutual benefit. Don't be so polite."

"The account cannot be settled like this."

Chen Qing shook his head and said, "For so long, I have benefited a lot from your guidance, Mr. Luo. Even if this is your 'Tao', it is also a favor to me. I will remember it in my heart and will definitely repay you when I have the chance in the future!"

"Okay, it's up to you."

Luo Zongping did not continue to push and shove, and stood up from his chair and said, "Now that we have finished asking questions, it is almost time to go back. Do you want to come with me or go by yourself?"

At this time, the sky outside the window had begun to darken.

Despite the instructions just now, the time was only a little after five o'clock.

But because it was already autumn, the sky outside was already showing signs of darkening - that's how the weather is in the south, it gets dark early in autumn and winter.

After listening to Luo Zongping's words, Chen Qing thought for a moment and replied, "It's okay. I can go by myself."

"Okay, I'll leave you alone then."

Luo Zongping nodded, then stepped away from his chair, walked to the door, opened it and walked out.

"Teacher Luo, go ahead and don't worry about me."

Chen Qing responded with a smile, and then followed him out of the box...

at the same time.

Xicheng, International Settlement, Ryusakura Consulate.

A figure wearing a black suit, a brown windbreaker, a beret, and a pipe in his mouth, led by a young woman wearing a Ryusakura ladies' kimono, came to a courtyard with a rockery and a pond.

In front of the pond in this courtyard, Keita Harada, who was wearing a Ryusakura men's kimono and feeding the fish, turned around and looked at the person who came, and said with a smile: "Tengchuan, see you again."
