Eternal Sword

Chapter 8: Be strong without desire
Changze County not only has a long winter.

The nights are also longer.

It was already past the fifth watch, and it was still dark outside.

Chen Tang woke up early.

Maybe it was because I was too tired last night, I slept very soundly and comfortably without even having any dreams.

There was no discomfort between the eyebrows, and my spirit returned to normal.

The bedroom was quiet, and the two people inside seemed to be still sleeping soundly.

Chen Tang ignored him and went to the yard to stretch his muscles. According to the custom on the snowy mountains, he practiced the Fu Hu Fist in the wind and snow.

The so-called rebirth state relies on practicing external skills, strengthening the body, increasing strength, making muscles tight and hard, and greatly increasing the ability to resist impact.

Eventually, the force will penetrate the skin and shed off a layer of dead skin, which means rebirth.

His predecessor practiced the Subduing Tiger Fist for many years, and although he was also strong, he was only better than his peers.

Compared with real martial artists, the gap is huge.

Under the guidance of Shan Zhongke, Chen Tang practiced the Subduing Tiger Fist again, changing some postures, details, and force techniques, and finally got on the right track.

Different moves of Subduing Tiger Fist can exercise muscles in different parts of the body.

For example, the move of snatching food from the tiger's mouth mainly exercises the muscles of the arms, palms and fingers.

The Tiger Leap Over the Gorge exercises trains the strength of the legs, waist and abdomen.

When you practice to the extreme, you can use the power of your legs to leap forward, and even jump across a valley or stream!
The Subduing Tiger Fist appears to have only sixteen moves, but if you practice it in the correct way, every muscle in the body can be exercised.

Chen Tang bent his legs slightly, his eyes unconsciously revealed a fierce light, he looked straight ahead, stretched out his hands like claws, and pounced suddenly!
Then, both arms suddenly exerted force to both sides, tearing with tiger claws!
The tiger is out of the cage!

With this move, not only the arms, but also the muscles on the chest, sides of the shoulder blades, and back tighten and explode!
This time, you have to be fierce and aggressive!
You must have the momentum and determination to break free of the cage!

After this move, Chen Tang clearly felt the muscles in his arms, chest and back were sore, swollen and hot, and his strength also increased.

Chen Tang seemed tireless as he practiced the Subduing Tiger Fist over and over again. His whole body was steaming with heat, and in the cold wind, he was shrouded in a layer of mist.

Be brave and diligent, and have tireless determination!
Although he escaped danger last night, he also realized his own shortcomings.

If he wants to survive in this world, he cannot slack off.

After an hour, the sky gradually brightened, the wind stopped, and the snow stopped.

Chen Tang stopped and rested for a while before going out. On the way, he thought for a while and went to take a look near the crime scene last night.

Mainly good news.

Most people were still asleep, and the two locations had not been discovered.

Chen Tang wandered around, bought some salt, and went to another place to buy some tinderbox and two wine gourds. He went to a tavern and filled them with good wine, hung the wine gourds around his waist, and then went home.

The silver I looted last night came in handy.

Chen Tang has already made up his mind to go back to the snowy mountains today to avoid the limelight.

The two people at home went with them.

Anyway, there is nothing valuable in his house.

If the two really wanted to sue the authorities, he couldn't stop them.

Moreover, judging from their clothes and words, they looked more like wandering people who happened to pass by Changze County.

People like this generally don't want to deal with the government, so they'll probably just stay here for a few days to avoid the wind and snow and then leave.

As for Captain Cui, Chen Tang had no intention of touching him now.

Although he killed several people, he knew his own worth.

To confront Captain Cui now would be tantamount to seeking death.

Cui Zhao is the chief constable of Changze County and a ninth-rank warrior. His vigilance, fighting ability, and experience and skills are absolutely incomparable to those three white servants last night.

Even if Chen Tang knew Cui Zhao's address, it would be difficult for him to sneak in quietly and take action secretly.

If you want to deal with Cui Zhao, you will probably have to face a fierce battle!
What's more, someone died last night, and the entire Changze County must be on high alert, so there is no chance to take action at all.

Not long after, Chen Tang returned home and stood at the door and listened for a while.

There was no movement inside.

I guess they are still sleeping soundly.

Chen Tang tiptoed into the house, took a bow and arrow, slung his long sword, closed the door, went to the yard, carried Chen Daan's body, and prepared to leave.

"Young man, why did you leave without saying goodbye? Do you want to abandon us?"

Before I walked out of the yard, I heard a soft and gentle voice suddenly coming from behind me, with a hint of resentment.

Chen Tang looked back.

Qing Mu was standing at the door, looking at him with a half-smile. There was no one at the door just now, but when he turned around, the woman was standing there.

Are you showing off your skills to me?
Chen Tang coughed lightly and said, "I'm mainly worried about disturbing your rest."

"Already awake."

As he spoke, Qing Mu looked lazy, put his hands together and raised them high, and stretched his waist, showing off his curvy figure.

Chen Tang lowered his head subconsciously.

Qing Mu couldn't help but smile when she saw that Chen Tang was like an old monk in meditation, deliberately not looking at her.

This guy is interesting.

How could he have such a character at such an age?
"Where are you going?"

Qing Mu asked, trying not to laugh.

Chen Tang calmed down and said, "Go up the mountain and bury my father."

Qing Mu had already noticed the body on Chen Tang's back.

This time, she didn't laugh.

Qing Mu thought for a moment and then asked, "Why did you carry a bow and arrow and a wine gourd when you went up the mountain to bury your father?"

Chen Tang said: "We can hunt some prey and exchange them for some silver when we go down the mountain."

This is true, but I am not sure when I will go down the mountain.

"Oh."

Qing Mu seemed to believe it and said softly, "Then you should go early and come back early. Master and I will wait for you at home."

You talk as if it's your home.

Chen Tang muttered something in his heart, remained unmoved, hardened his heart, said nothing, and turned away.

The greatest advantage he had in his two lives was that he knew himself.

This kind of woman is so beautiful that she can topple a whole country.

She's already so good even in plain clothes and light makeup. If she really dresses up, wouldn't it be amazing?
He is just a country boy with no family background or connections, and his martial arts skills are not that great. Why would anyone like him?

It was nothing more than a spur of the moment act, just to have some fun with him.

After walking a dozen steps, Chen Tang calmed down and looked back at his own yard. When he was far enough away, he snorted and muttered, "What a troublesome beauty! She wants to mess up my Taoism. It's a pity that I have already seen through the world. I am strong without desires and my Taoism heart is as hard as ice!"

yard.

Qing Mu's ears moved, as if he heard something. He frowned slightly and was a little annoyed.

Dare you call me a troublemaker?
Then she lowered her head and thought about it, then chuckled, "Okay, I'd like to try how hard you can be."

The fat old man rubbed his sleepy eyes, came to the door, looked in the direction Chen Tang left, and asked, "Did he leave?"

"Ah."

Qing Mu nodded.

The fat old man smacked his lips and said, "Looking at the boy's posture, I'm afraid he was scared by you. He may not be able to come back once he leaves."

"Not urgent."

Qing Mu's lips curled up slightly and said, "I don't believe he won't come back."

"Didn't you make arrangements last night to return to Beijing as soon as possible? How did it change so quickly?"

The fat old man stared at Qing Mu with his small eyes in surprise.

Qing Mu felt embarrassed when the fat old man looked at him. He stamped his feet and said angrily, "Master, shut up!"

The fat old man chuckled and said, "But the tiger-subduing fist that this kid performed this morning was indeed quite good."

"What's wrong with the Subduing Tiger Fist? Many people can do it, right?"

Qing Mu was a little confused and asked with a blink.

The fat old man shook his head and said, "In fact, the Subduing Tiger Fist has a great origin. It is an external martial arts boxing technique passed down from the army of the previous dynasty. This set of boxing may seem simple, but there are not many people who can master it and even practice it to perfection nowadays."

"is it?"

Qing Mu casually used the same move that Chen Tang used to kill someone last night, 'Snatching Food from the Tiger's Mouth', and said, "This is nothing, it's very simple."

"otherwise."

The fat old man took a look and shook his head, saying, "Your move is far inferior to his. You haven't even reached the level of 'knowing its form'."

"It's just a little bit different. The final effect is worlds apart. His boxing can kill people, but yours can only kill chickens at best."
