Chapter 114 113 Wake up ( at noon, more at night)

"Yes, my good man, that is Pingdingshan."

"After passing Pingding Mountain, walk another sixty miles and you will reach Songcheng, the provincial capital."

The little leader boldly raised his upper body and smiled flatteringly:

"My dear, if you are short of gold and silver, I can take you back and you can take as much as you want."

"Our headmaster is only at the internal organs realm. Judging from your skills and your true energy, you must be from a wealthy family."

"I am blind and don't know a great man. If you are in a good mood, just treat me like a fart."

Li Cunxiao turned around in surprise. He didn't expect that the bandits outside the state city were much more knowledgeable than the bandits in the countryside.

"You are quite sensible."

"Then tell me about this Yulan Bon Festival, it's very famous?"

"That's hugely famous!"

When the little leader saw that there was a chance to survive, his tone became a little excited:

"The Ullambana Festival in our state capital is extraordinary. It is presided over by the great monks of Tiangu Temple."

"Young talents from all over the country have been rushing to the state capital one after another, just to show their skills at the Dharma Assembly, hoping to catch the attention of a certain elder."

"Wait," Li Cunxiao frowned.

The Ullambana Festival originated from the Buddhist classic "The Ullambana Sutra", which tells the story of Venerable Mulian rescuing his mother who fell into hell.

"Yulanpen" means "rescue from hanging upside down", symbolizing the rescue of the suffering of the dead souls.

The 15th day of July is also the Taoist Zhongyuan Festival, the day when the Earth God forgives sins and pardons the souls of the dead.

Gradually, people began to regard this day as the "Ghost Festival" to worship their ancestors and appease wandering ghosts.

It is not strange that the monks from Tiangu Temple perform water and land rituals, but it sounds strange to talk about Ghost Festival and young talents together.

"Well, you see, I'm also a bandit. I can't even get into the city gates. I don't know the details."

Faced with further questioning, the little leader hesitated.

Li Cunxiao felt troubled seeing that he couldn't think of an answer, so he simply killed him with a knife.

Chili clamped her legs together and turned back consciously, while he focused his mind inward.

The vajra was shining brightly, and it seemed that it was more than half full. This was the harvest from killing demons and bandits in the past month.

The four demons that should have been suppressed under the vajra now appeared empty.

Instead, blue, red, and yellow lights appeared on the liver, heart, and spleen.

The three organs are refined, and the internal organs reach the highest level!
This is the result obtained at the cost of the lives of Murong Bo and other four family heads.

Li Cunxiao is not someone who likes to hold back on his big moves. As long as conditions permit, he prefers to convert his potential into strength in a timely manner.

Zhang Lishi fainted, Shi Tie broke his arm, and the escort agency also lost twenty or thirty good men in that battle. The team that originally had nearly a hundred people now has only forty or fifty people.

In this situation, he must have enough strength to bring the team safely to the state capital.

Therefore, on the second day after leaving Chuqiu, after copying the secret book, he refined the demon heads of the four family heads without hesitation, and directly obtained two opportunities to break through the barriers.

Once it was used to break through the Ye family's White Ape Cannon Hammer, and once it was used to break through the Murong family's Red Marrow True Skill.

After the internal organs realm, the Vajra accumulates evil energy more slowly, but the effect becomes more powerful.

He first practiced both martial arts to the limit of the Qi and blood realm, and then broke through to the muscles and tendons. This step did not consume much evil energy.

Next, follow the order of wood producing fire, and fire producing earth.

First, use the barrier-breaking and tongue-opening skill once, and then use the White Ape Cannon's Zhuyan White Ape to bless the heart;
After a few days of replenishing the consumed evil energy, open the acupoints and use the Red Marrow True Art's sow to bless the spleen.

Today, Li Cunxiao is blessed by eight demons: the Tiger Demon, the Silver Fox, the Dragon-Armored Red Dragonfly, the Naga Snake Demon, the Bull-Headed Ghost, the Yaksha, the Red-Weary White Ape, and the Hai Sow.

On the way, Li Cunxiao had already conducted experiments.

Now, he has no pressure in fighting a third-level monster in hand-to-hand combat, but it takes a little more effort to kill the monster.

It should be noted that in the same realm, warriors are often weaker than demons.

With his internal organs cultivated to such a high level, he was able to defeat the Cui brothers, two warriors who also had their internal organs cultivated to a high level and were proficient in combined attack techniques.

"In the martial arts I've learned, different demons have their own specialties, and each has its own emphasis on blessing the internal organs."

"Yaksha belongs to the element of wind and wood, and blesses the liver."

"Zhu Yan is a fire ape, bless the heart"

"Hai Mu belongs to the earth element, blessing the spleen"

"The three demons' separate blessings have truly had extraordinary effects."

"Now I still have the internal organs training methods of Jade Chamber Technique and Vajra Palm. As long as I have time, it won't be a problem to gather a Five Elements Demon Head."

But Songzhou City is right in front of them. No matter whether it is Taiyi Zhenren or Tiangu Temple, as long as they get the Huangting realm skills, for the long-term future of martial arts and the purity of true qi, they have to refine as many of these demons as they should.

However, this does not mean that Li Cunxiao's previous efforts were in vain. After all, during the nearly one-month journey, he encountered bandits and demons no less than ten times.

If it weren't for the great strength of the internal organs realm, Mrs. Zhang would have had a miscarriage long ago, and the women and children in the team would have been eaten by the demon.

Even if the devil is refined, it can still be transformed into evil energy to charge the vajra. Of course, there will definitely be losses, and there is no way to avoid it.

I have practiced eight martial arts, including boxing, palm techniques, body techniques, and sword techniques. These experiences are an intangible wealth and the cornerstone of martial arts.

Just because you are full after eating the tenth steamed bun, it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have eaten the previous nine steamed buns. That’s not how you calculate things.

"Ok?"

Li Cunxiao's eyes, like tigers, shone with golden light as he noticed slight movements in the grass beside the road.

The next moment, a breeze blew across the saddle and the figure disappeared.

After another dozen breaths, Li Cunxiao was already holding a deer-shaped demon and standing next to the saddle.

"A second-level three-legged deer? With three prongs on its head, it's almost reaching the threshold of the third level."

"It just so happens that my master's wife is about to give birth, so I brought her deer antlers to help her stay

Li Cunxiao grabbed the three-legged deer, which was half the size of an adult, as if it were a chicken. Chili was carrying a weight of several hundred kilograms and was still running at lightning speed.

Not long after, when they returned to the team, everyone was used to seeing Li Cunxiao holding the demon.

I've seen too many of them in the past month.

"Mu Cha, come here."

Mu Cha came trotting over, holding a broadsword in his hand.

Li Cunxiao grabbed the deer's head with his left hand. The deer's eyes showed human-like fear, but after being caught by this terrifying human, it didn't dare to move at all.

Despite this, Li Cunxiao first broke his limbs, then drew out the Dragon Sparrow Sword and cut a cross-shaped wound on his neck.

"Stab it this way."

Mu Cha listened to the three-legged deer's wailing. At first, he was caught by his elder brother to test his courage, and he was so scared that he couldn't hold the knife.

But after killing more than a dozen, I gradually became more proficient at it.

Upon hearing this, he did not hesitate and stabbed the knife in with all his might, following the breathing and force-generating methods he practiced in boxing practice.

Li Cunxiao's eyes showed a hint of satisfaction. The events of Chuqiu City had made him realize that whether he or his brother wanted to survive in troubled times, fighting and killing were unavoidable.

Mu Cha is only twelve years old now and has been practicing martial arts for less than a year. It is impossible for him to really fight against wild beasts and demons.

But it is still possible to slaughter demons, see blood, and make mental preparations.

And this way, his secret can be prevented from being exposed.

"Well done. When we get to the state capital, I'll have someone make you a good weapon."

Li Cunxiao walked past his smiling brother, said hello to Shi Tie, the Cui brothers and others, and then returned to a carriage specially provided for him.

The demon meat is first prepared, and the precious parts such as deer antlers that contain less evil energy are processed and then sent to the master's wife by Ye Chengxiao.

Then he sat cross-legged and refined the acupoints.

This is how the team traveled now. Li Cunxiao relied on his Pegasus, which could travel a thousand miles a day, to explore the road forty or fifty miles ahead and eliminate any threatening bandits and demons.

Then the team set off, and he returned to the carriage, seizing the time to practice.

The tongue orifice belongs to fire, its brilliance is on the face, and the heart is inside. It controls the rise and fall of qi and blood, and has the greatest impact on the spirit.

The mouth belongs to the earth element, its essence is in the muscles, and its interior is the spleen, which transports and transforms the essence of water and grain.

After Li Cunxiao refined his heart and spleen, he only ate one meal every few days, and each meal consisted of a third-level demon that he had killed himself.

After that, he didn't need to sleep for three days and three nights, but he was still full of energy. He only took a nap for an hour during the day when the Cui brothers were around, and then he was as energetic as a dragon and a tiger.

According to the order of wood producing fire, fire producing earth, earth producing metal, and metal producing water, he is now refining the two nostrils.

The Mighty Vajra Palm is a mid-level martial art with complete training methods from qi and blood to internal organs. A bull-headed ghost runs through the entire process, and there is no need for any magic to induce it.

Li Cunxiao relied on the vajra to suppress his mind and was not afraid of being possessed by the devil. He also had freshly slaughtered pure demon meat to eat. He practiced independently for the past month without slacking off.

Li Cunxiao has now opened up two of the four acupoints: Yingxiang, Suliao, and Yintang. That means he opens up one acupoint every half a month.

Refining one organ for two months, taking into account the other acupoints which have twice as many acupoints, even if the evil spirits cannot be broken through, the five organs can be perfected in one or two years.

This speed is certainly far slower than the Vajra Speed, but compared to the more than ten years of hard work of Zhang Lishi, the Cui brothers and others, it seems incredibly fast.

"Practice harder. I don't know what the Yulan Bon Club is all about, but the stronger you are, the more relaxed you'll be."

Li Cunxiao's mind was calm, and his qi and blood pushed the bull-headed ghost with a bull's head and a human body to crawl out of the membrane and rise along the meridians to the sides of the nose.

Like an old cow being whipped, it diligently cultivates its acupoints.
In a flash, another few days passed.

"It's almost May, and we're finally near the state capital."

"After entering the city, I have to go and comfort my stomach first. Hehe, I don't know about the brothels in this state capital."

Cui Yao touched his belly and laughed. The people behind him looked at the bustling flow of people on the official road and also showed some relief.

"The closer we get to the provincial capital, the less refugees and disturbances there are. It seems this Governor Bai is truly as good at governing as passersby say."

Shi Tie felt tired but also a little relaxed.

The more stable and orderly the state capital is, the more secure the safety of the escort agency staff will be, and they can finally relax a little bit.

Cui Wei had a similar expression and was about to say something when he suddenly heard some noise in the team.

Then, the joyful voices gradually became uniform and combined into five words:

"The chief escort has woken up!"

Li Cunxiao was originally guarding behind on horseback. Upon hearing what was said, he pointed his toes and moved as fast as the wind, and was the first to arrive next to the carriage of the Zhang couple.

But he paused and did not go in directly. Instead, he waited for Shi Tie and the Cui brothers to arrive, and then the four of them lifted the curtain together.

Zhang Lishi gently held his wife in his arms. Even though the latter had experienced more than one dangerous situation, she still couldn't help shedding a few tears.

"Madam, you have worked hard."

"Cui Da, Cui Er, my best friend."

Seeing his eldest disciple's broken left arm, Zhang Lishi's eyes showed guilt and heartache.

Finally, he looked at his still respectful little disciple, feeling a mixture of emotions.

After so many years of life and death, he never expected that the closest he came to the King of Hell was when he was saved by an apprentice who was picked up by chance and had been in the apprentice for less than a year.

".And Sanlang, it's all thanks to you, otherwise your master's wife and I would have to be a widow."

Mrs. Zhang was a woman of society and recovered quickly. This joke made everyone laugh.

Zhang Yuelu and several other ladies rushed over after hearing the news. When they saw their father wake up, they all burst into tears.

Such a big commotion at the escort agency inevitably aroused the curiosity of other passers-by on the official road.

But Li Cunxiao just turned his head, his golden tiger eyes shining, and his ferocious aura immediately frightened the passers-by so much that they retracted their heads.

"The eyes are shining. Is this because the liver has been refined?"

"Young men in their twenties all have small internal organs. The one in the car might be Huang Ting?"

"The Yulan Festival is about to begin. There are hidden talents everywhere in the state capital. We can't afford to offend them. We'd better hurry up and get on with our journey."

Li Cunxiao was moved when he heard the words of the passerby, and couldn't help asking:

"Master, have you broken through the Huangting?"

These words startled everyone, and they all looked at Zhang Lishi nervously and expectantly.

If we can have someone at the Huangting realm to manage the escort agency, then even if we move to Songzhou City, where there are many hidden talents, there will be someone to keep up appearances.

The state capital is not a small place like Chuqiu. There are countless Qi and Blood warriors, and muscle warriors are everywhere.

Li Cunxiao saw a lot just on this official road.

But there are fewer people at the Zangfu realm, and if the team is led by a warrior at the Huangting realm, passers-by will take the initiative to avoid him.

It can be seen that in the state capital, there is still a place for warriors who have cultivated true qi.

Zhang Lishi did not disappoint everyone. He smiled slightly and grabbed his trouser legs.

I saw a green light flashing in his dantian area in the lower abdomen, and a green line running down his thigh and stopping at his toes.

"I have already refined the Foot Jueyin Liver Meridian, and now I can be considered to have entered the Huangting stage."

When the people around heard this, they were overjoyed, but Li Cunxiao could increasingly understand the difficulties that ordinary warriors faced in practicing martial arts.

Zhang Lishi, who was once favored by Taiyi Zhenren, was stuck in the stage of practicing true qi for several years just because he also studied martial arts.

Now, at the age of nearly fifty, he has finally opened up his first meridian.

The twelve meridians of yin and yang in the hands and feet are protracted. I am afraid that Zhang Lishi's future will be stopped at the fourth level.

The influence of studying multiple martial arts on a warrior is so great, I am afraid that those big sects will discriminate against those who study multiple martial arts, right?
Zhang Lishi didn't know what Li Cunxiao was thinking.

After sleeping for a month, he looked at the world and the people around him again, and his mood was subtly different.

Open the curtains, it is late spring, and the birds are still singing and the flowers are blooming.

A hundred meters away, a towering flat-topped mountain stands, and many memories of the past come to mind.

After a while, Zhang Lishi seemed to have made a decision and turned to look at Li Cunxiao.

"Sanlang, come with me to the mountain to have a look."
