If you don't give up, I'd like to be your adoptive father.

Chapter 32 I like killing people in my dreams

After seeing Hu Chen off from her courtyard, Xiao Yu did not fall asleep immediately.

Zifu consumed too much brain power and energy in deducing the "method of killing Guan Huchen". Her head felt hot and stuffy, and her stomach was hungry.

Xia Zhi prepared a midnight snack for her, including a jar of bone-strengthening soup, a jar of mind-nourishing porridge, not to mention other meals like chicken, duck, fish and meat.

Yongxue prepared a wooden barrel and hot water for her.

While she was taking a bath to relieve her fatigue, two maids massaged her and fed her.

Well, Xiaoyu had no idea of ​​getting along well with the maids, loving each other, and being on equal terms with them.

Although she had been a lady for only two days, she was able to order people around better than a real lady from an aristocratic family. She would never do anything herself that could be done by others.

She felt that she still respected them in her heart.

Because we respect their personalities, we also respect their work. They earn their livings and work hard to earn money to support their families. What's wrong with that?

When Xiaoyu climbed onto the bed comfortably, she had recovered her spirit and physical strength, and she lay on the bed and continued to deduce "Tiger Soul Seven Kills" in Zifu.

Hu Chen only taught her the "Tiger Soul Seven Killings" secret technique, and she only used her mental power to cultivate the ferocious tiger's will and the secret of the seven kills.

When explaining the secret, Hu Chen also told her that "Tiger Soul Seven Kills" is a very advanced immortal martial art, which includes five aspects: mind, intention, spirit, qi and body.

"Heart" is the self and the original mind. With the original heart, we can guard our nature, sit in the center, and stabilize all directions.

"Shen" is responsible for transformation. He cultivates and transforms his own spirit (a part of the soul) into a ferocious tiger, which is located at the top.

"Yi" means soul, not the soul of a person, but the soul of a move. "Tiger Soul Seven Kills" has seven killing moves, and the seven artistic conceptions are the souls of the seven killing moves, that is, the secrets of the seven kills. "Shen" is the master of "Yi", Shen is above, and Yi is below.

"Qi" is the internal Qi, the true Qi, which can only be cultivated through the breathing method of "Tiger Soul Seven Killings". Qi is the root, which is at the back.

"Ti" refers to both the strong physique that controls "Tiger Soul Seven Kills" and the specific moves. Qi is the basis of the body, and the body is the manifestation of Qi. Qi is hidden in the back and manifested in the front.

The heart, spirit, intention, qi and body are located in the center, above and below, front and back respectively.

The center controls all that is changeable and immutable. Spirit and intention are connected, qi and body are inseparable. "Spirit and intention" and "qi" influence and connect with each other. The five correspond to the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, forming a harmonious whole.

The above is Hu Chen’s teaching to Xiao Yu.

Translated into plain language: Practicing "Tiger Soul Seven Kills" means imitating the skills of the fierce tiger's killing moves.

Separate a part of the human soul and simulate a ferocious tiger (tiger demon). The human spirit becomes a ferocious tiger, which is naturally closer to the origin.

This is the will of the fierce tiger.

But people are still people after all, and they cannot cultivate their souls into a tiger to the point of losing their nature.

Therefore, we must put our “heart” at the center and maintain our true self.

In other words, the "heart" uses human will to control the ferocious tiger's will.

A person is made up of a body and a soul. With a soul, he or she has spirituality and infinite possibilities. If a move is endowed with a soul, the move will also have a strong spirituality and infinite power.

The sword manual can only practice soulless moves, while the secret of the Seven Killings is the soul of the seven moves.

Adding the souls of the seven moves into the seven killing moves respectively becomes the real Tiger Soul Seven Killings.

In order to integrate the secrets of the Seven Kills into the moves, one needs the will of the tiger to control the secrets of the Seven Kills.

The will of the tiger god is to transform the human soul into a ferocious tiger. Naturally, the "ferocious tiger soul" is the easiest to give soul to the moves.

To sum up, use your own will to control the part of the soul that has transformed into a ferocious tiger, and then use the ferocious tiger soul to give soul to the moves. In this way, the heart, spirit, intention, and body form an organic whole with a relationship of mutual generation and mutual restraint.

Finally, it’s Qi.

Qi is the foundation of all extraordinary things. Without Qi, the mind, spirit, intention and body cannot grow and develop.

At the same time, Qi is generated in the body and is guided and controlled by the heart, spirit, and intention.

Only when the mind, spirit, intention, body and qi are combined into one to form the "five elements" can it be considered truly complete.

Even though he is a beginner with little experience, Xiao Yu feels that "Tiger Soul Seven Kills" cultivates the mind, spirit, will, body and qi at the same time, and corresponds them to the five elements respectively, combining them together to promote and restrain each other, which is a very brilliant theory of immortal martial arts.

She just thought that the theory of "Tiger Soul Seven Kills" was very clever, but she did not recognize its power.

In fact, its upper limit is very disappointing to Xiaoyu.

Let’s not ask “Can you gain immortality?”, just ask whether you can kill immortals, demons, gods and Buddhas. The answer is definite: No!

Xiaoyu was so sure, not only because Hu Chen proudly told her that when "Tiger Soul Seven Kills" was practiced to the highest level, it could kill ghosts and gods - ghosts and gods were ghosts, not gods, let alone immortals.

Only "ghost immortals" can be slightly related to "immortals".

After receiving the secret from Hu Chen, Xiao Yu mastered the Tiger Soul Will and the Seven Killings.

To put it bluntly, she basically saw through the essence of "Tiger Soul Seven Kills".

She was 99.9999% sure that it was not the unrivaled skill of the ancient evil god Chi You.

She believed that "Tiger Soul Seven Kills" was the unique skill of a certain tiger demon, and it was probably an abridged and modified version.

What's worse is that the tiger demon who represents the upper limit of the secret book is not very powerful itself.

It's just very fierce, cruel and vicious.

To sum it up, it’s delicious but poisonous.

The upper limit is already low, and then it is cut down, and then modified in a weaker direction to suit human warriors. Alas!
Of course, Xiaoyu felt that "Tiger Soul Seven Kills" was weak because she knew how strong the top combat power in this world was.

Weak only when compared with top gods like Wukong and Erlang Shen.

In the martial arts world of the human world, he could at least dominate one side.

Even if one practices Tiger Soul Seven Kills to perfection and cultivates his internal strength for decades, he is still no match for a single knock from Monkey King's golden cudgel. If Xiao Yu is given a few months to develop her internal energy, she might be able to defeat Guan Huchen.

It’s not that Xiaoyu cares about Yin.

Zifu's deduction, which had been stuck, was almost done with the "method to kill my foster father Guan Huchen". There was no need to deduce the method to restrain the clairvoyance.

Because she didn't need to find the vital points or launch a sneak attack, she also didn't need to avoid being caught by the clairvoyance while approaching quietly - this made her a little depressed. In fact, she really wanted to learn the art of hiding that could overcome the clairvoyance's detection.

In general, once Hu Chen has taught Xiaoyu all the sword techniques and breathing techniques, Xiaoyu will be able to get rid of the state of being helpless and having no control over his fate within a few months.

By then, if you advance, you can take advantage of the power of your subordinates and plan more; if you retreat, you can leave calmly, change your identity, wander around the world, seek immortals and visit Taoist priests, and play around in the world.

Guan Huchen is not a good person, but he is the greatest benefactor she has ever met in her life!
With anticipation for the breathing method of "Tiger Soul Seven Kills" and the joy of the gradually clear trajectory of his destiny, Xiaoyu fell asleep tiredly but happily.

Even in her dreams, her subconscious mind still remained in the Purple Palace, practicing the Heart Sutra, cultivating the fierce tiger spirit, and practicing the Seven Killings Mystery.

At some point, a hazy mist suddenly appeared in front of her eyes. There were no buildings around, as if she was in an open field.

"Guan~~Yu~~~Guan~~~~Yu~~~~~"

Someone was calling her name in the thick fog. The tone was very strange, drawn out, and there was a slight tremor in the middle.

It seems to come with a cold and evil BGM.

Well, it’s the little tune that sets the mood in Chinese horror movies when the evil ghost is about to appear.

In fact, Xiaoyu felt like she was possessed and was having a horrible nightmare.

"Guan Yu, come here. Guan Yu, come here quickly."

Xiaoyu felt that she shouldn't go there, but couldn't help but want to move forward in a daze, and then she forced herself not to move forward.
It sounds contradictory, but in fact many people have had similar experiences.

When I was dreaming, I dreamed that I was climbing the stairs to the rooftop, and the building under my feet was shaking from side to side, as if it was going to collapse. I was very uneasy, but I knew I was dreaming and should not be afraid, but I still couldn't control my panic.

"Lao Luo, hey, Lao Luo, are you really drunk?"

It seemed like a long time had passed, but it also seemed like only the next moment, Xiaoyu heard a different sound.

"Oh, I'm not drunk, I can still drink more. Mutton wine is hard to come by, I have to drink it."

"Lao Luo, wake up, the master is still waiting for us."

"Master is waiting for us. Let's go back quickly~~~"

"Hey, Lao Luo, don't leave! The master asked us to take Guan Yu back, have you forgotten?"

"Oh, Guan Yu, take her back then."

"I called out to her soul, but it didn't work. Her soul is too strong and too stable. My power is almost exhausted, so there is not much response. You and I should work together."

It was just like a dream. I seemed to hear it very clearly in the dream, but in fact I didn’t remember much at all.

Xiaoyu seemed to have heard a lot, but it was so hazy and not clear.

Until there was a rustling sound, "Guan~Yu~~Guan~Yu~~Come here, Guan Yu, come here quickly~~"

Here it comes again, clearer and more alluring than before.

Xiao Yu could hardly control himself, but as a ray of divine consciousness entered the "Purple Mansion", his mind became clearer.

"Master Chi, did we call the wrong name? I've been calling for a long time, but there's no response."

"Yes, it is 'Guan Yu'. It's not that there is no reaction, but the reaction is weak and the resistance is too great.

It's really strange. In the past, our "soul-calling technique" has always been effective and has never failed.

Even if it was a strange person who practiced Taoism, just a few more calls would immediately make his true spirit darken and his soul leave his body unconsciously. Why is this Miss Guan so "tough"? "

"Master Chi, burp, my mouth is dry and I can't shout anymore, just do it."

"Use the Soul Locking Chain?"

"Use the Soul Locking Chain!"

“But she is not the murderer.”

Having said that, there was obvious hesitation in Fat Chi Miao's tone.

"Mr. Song is waiting for us. Her father has also been waiting for a long time. He won't blame us."

Chi Miao was convinced, "Don't blame us for being violent, it's really because Miss Guan, your soul is too strong and firm, your father is calling you!"

“Whoosh, whoosh~~”

Xiaoyu was still thinking about the "strange words in the dream" when two iron chains flew through the thick fog and wrapped around her body like poisonous snakes. At the same time, an irresistible force came from the other end of the chains, and she staggered involuntarily.

She was angry, and the ferocious tiger spirit exploded instantly.

"Roar~~" She suddenly changed from a tiny person into a black tiger as big as a house, more than ten feet tall and more than thirty feet long, with a red murderous aura wrapped around her body that seemed to be real.

The black tiger also subconsciously swung a claw forward, using the "Tear the Sky" of the Seven Killing Techniques.

The sharp tiger claws were like five scimitars, bursting out with a large sickle-shaped "blade light" composed of black and red murderous aura.

The thick fog ahead was instantly dispersed, and the chains clanged as if they were being chopped by a sword.

One of the ghost messengers behind the chains was directly submerged by the sickle-shaped blade light. After a short scream, the ghost figure disappeared, leaving only the scattered evil energy and black mist.

"Ah, Lao Luo, ah, my legs, Great Immortal, spare my life~ Master Song, help me!"

Xiaoyu had never heard such a shrill scream. It was simply not something a normal person could scream out.

But before she could come to her senses, the scream had quickly faded away.

"What happened? Maybe I dreamed about what I thought about during the day. I practiced for too long before going to bed, and I was thinking about the divine will and mystery of Tiger Soul Seven Kills in my dream."

Xiaoyu mumbled a few words in a daze, turned over, hugged the quilt, and planned to continue sleeping.
