Ink panel: Hunting the sun and surveying the sky from the bow.

Chapter 56: Five-man clearance

In the next few days, Shen Qing stayed at home and spent most of his time hunting in the mountains and practicing the Linfeng Finger technique.

As his archery and hunting skills improved, his hunting skills improved.

Every time I went up the mountain, I almost never came empty-handed. I would catch small things like hares, pheasants, badgers, and bigger ones like a muntjac. We all piled them up at home.

But the strange thing is that for some reason, some larger prey that we used to encounter frequently, such as wild boars, elk, goats, etc., are rarely encountered now.

Shen Qing even began to doubt whether his hunting skills were improving too quickly and he had almost cleared out the Shicheng Mountain.

Counting the days, spring is less than a month away.

Shen Qing could only sincerely hope that the little animals in the mountains could hold on a little longer.

Just hold on, winter will soon be over.

……

In the bamboo forest behind the house, Shen Qing squatted down, picked up a stone from the ground, put it in the palm of his hand, and held it easily.

He was wearing shorts with his arms exposed, and the veins were faintly visible.

Shen Qing suddenly exerted force, the muscles in his arms tightened, and veins bulged.

Cracks appeared on the surface of the stone, and then with a "crack", the stone broke into several pieces in his palm and the debris scattered all over the ground.

He clapped his hands and stood up, his eyes calm.

"Now that my Qi and blood are perfect, my arm strength has increased a lot, far surpassing that of an ordinary person. Five or six people can't stop me. Even a rock can be crushed if I exert my strength seriously. Why can't I poke a simple wooden board open with my fingers?"

Shen Qing looked at the broken wooden board on the other side that was covered with marks.

He had been secretly thinking about it these days, and after trying several times like Ouyang Tiezhu, he failed without success.

It seems that Li Linfeng's hard skill is not just about strength.

There is a self-consistent logic and practice method.

Shen Qing had inquired in Linfeng Hall and learned that Li Linfeng had used this unique skill to kill four martial artists at the Bone Refining Realm, and became famous in the county in one battle.

As for these martial artists who are at the Bone Training Stage, if any one of them is picked out, a man like him with perfect Qi and Blood can easily control five or six of them. Eighteen or nineteen ordinary strong men cannot get close to this martial artist.

He couldn't imagine how powerful Li Linfeng would be now that he had reached the Qi Nourishing Stage.

There are indeed many hidden talents in the county town, and we should not underestimate it.

You still have to practice hard.

Shen Qing put aside these wild thoughts, walked to an old oak tree, and used it as a wooden dummy.

He took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and recalled the movements of the three-man and five-man piles that he had repeated in his mind countless times.

After making sure he had memorized all the details, he suddenly opened his eyes.

Then he moved as nimbly as a rabbit, performed a set of smooth movements around the old tree, and started practicing.

He leaped and pranced, his toes lightly tapping the ground, leaving almost no trace.

One seemed to hear the rustling of his clothes in the air, echoing the cold wind in the bamboo forest.

Time passed little by little.

Although it was winter and he was wearing shorts, sweat gradually soaked the back of Shen Qing's clothes.

Gradually his breathing became rapid and powerful, and his movements became smoother and faster.

There are several places on the rough trunk of the old oak tree that have become rounder after countless touches and leverage, making it appear somewhat different from other places.

Shen Qing practiced tirelessly like this until he was almost exhausted.

In order not to waste time, he will continue to practice the standing meditation on the Jiugongjin to nourish his qi and blood and restore his strength.

With continuous practice, Shen Qing's knowledge of martial arts grew day by day. He found that some of the common sense of martial arts in Jiugongjin were wrong.

For example, the concept of stretching the muscles and bones, strengthening the skin and nourishing the Qi has never been mentioned in this book. It only says that if the blood and essence of the whole body reach the limit of the body's capacity, and the Qi and blood are united with the thoughts in the heart, then the Qi can be cultivated. This is really exaggerated and unreliable.

Until now, he still hasn't figured out what this thought in his mind means.

No wonder it is a not very famous martial art.

Shen Qing even suspected that Chen Yuan and others were cheated out of a lot of money when they bought this martial arts book.

But that doesn't mean this martial art is useless.

At the very least, the nine major standing exercises recorded in it are really good and have greatly benefited his whole body's qi and blood training.

Shen Qing did not keep his knowledge to himself and taught this martial art to the two brothers Tian Xiaohu and Hu Zi.

Several people also practice very hard every day at home.

The three of them are not as talented as Shen Qing, and are still struggling at the entry stage.

After a brief adjustment, Shen Qing felt that his strength had almost recovered, so he started practicing again.

Under the influence of the ink panel, every time Shen Qing practiced his movements, he became more agile and more precise than the previous time.

Seven or eight days passed in a blink of an eye, and the mountain products in Hongshan Village had been almost accumulated. It was time to go to the county town again.

In the bamboo forest, Shen Qing slapped the tree trunk, finished practicing the last move, and let out a breath.

He glanced at the ink panel in his sight, and a hint of joy appeared on his face.

[Skill: Lingfeng Finger (Beginner)]

[Progress: 92/100 points]

[Status: cannot be upgraded]

Through continuous practice, coupled with the proficiency in ink painting panels.

Shen Qing was able to successfully perform the two-person pile, three-person pile and five-person pile in one breath, which was considered a pass.

Unfortunately, Lao Shu is not a wooden man after all, and there are still some differences in some movements. He has not practiced them well enough, and his progress has begun to improve with difficulty.

He wanted to take this opportunity to go to Linfeng Hall to make up for the last bit of progress and see if he could break through the bottleneck.

Shen Qing exhaled his last breath, gathered his thoughts and returned home.

At this time, the eldest sister Shen Fang had already boiled a bucket of hot water to wipe the body after practicing.

After washing up, Shen Qing put on new clothes and went out. He immediately went to Zhang Shuyuan's house to ask him to help with the accounts.

In fact, with his current literacy level, he can also do simple accounting and arithmetic. But in recent years, the accounts in the village have basically been done by Zhang Shuyuan, and the villagers recognize him.

If he did it himself, the villagers might not recognize him, and he might even end up making things worse.

So it’s better to be safe and follow the old rules.

When Shen Qing arrived at Zhang Shuyuan's house and explained his purpose, Zhang Shuyuan did not show any shyness or scholarly pride, but agreed immediately, as if he was afraid that Shen Qing would go back on his word.

As for why Shen Qing hadn't come to learn Thousand Character Classic for such a long time, he didn't even ask, as if he had forgotten about it.

In his eyes, learning is something that should be done entirely on one's own initiative.

Taking Zhang Shuyuan with him, Shen Qing went to a flat ground in the center of Hongshan Village.

Tian Xiaohu had already pulled the cart over and was waiting there, and other villagers who wanted to sell goods also arrived one after another.

Shen Qing walked over and clapped his hands.

The crisp sound instantly attracted the attention of the villagers on the flat ground.

Shen Qing shouted, "It's time to start collecting mountain products, folks, hurry up."
