Starting from the Tiger Demon Yaksha, the demon immortality

Chapter 23 23 Qi and Blood Circulation (4 Thousand Two-in-One)

"You must have seen the Heavenly King tattooed on that scoundrel's body."

Li Cunxiao nodded after hearing this.

Before meeting Zhao Xiaoyi, he had never imagined that a local gangster could have so many tricks.

The king tattooed his back and hid silver in his crotch. After all, these were just some clever tricks. Without enough skills, they would only add to the jokes.

"That guy did this ten years ago, but Murong Bo sent people to beat him with dozens of boards, and the king on his back was already broken."

Broken? Then did Zhao Xiaoyi have new tattoos on his chest and back?

Li Cunxiao was puzzled for a moment. Is there something special about the other person's tattoo?
Zhang Lishi seemed to guess what Li Cunxiao was thinking, and said with a hint of meaning:
"Zhao Xiaoyi was beaten so badly that he couldn't get out of bed for half a month. But after his injuries healed, he went door to door bare-chested and asking for money, saying it was for repairing the statue of the Heavenly King."

After Zhang Lishi finished speaking, he picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, but Li Cunxiao had already understood the other party's suggestion, so he bowed and left with the Cui brothers.

"A scoundrel won't feel any pain if he's beaten."

"Head escort, are you reminding me to root out the problem?"

"But if we want to eradicate the problem, we can't avoid Xie Donglai."

Li Cunxiao followed the two Cui brothers out of the hall and headed for the training ground. Along the way, Cui Yao stared at Li Cunxiao with his big, copper-bell-like eyes, looking him up and down, clicking his tongue.

"Teacher Cui," Li Cunxiao was really helpless and had to remind him.

"Hahaha, boy, do you know how lucky you are? You're so valuable to the Chief Escort, and even more so to the Third Lady who speaks for you. Maybe in the future..."

Seeing his brother making faces and talking without restraint, Cui Wei couldn't help but kick him, but the other party dodged it.

"Mrs. San is quite opinionated. No one else needs to worry about her affairs, Li Sanlang. What did you hear just now?"

Li Cunxiao found the interaction between the two brothers quite interesting and forced himself to tighten his lips:

"I heard the bell announcing the evening hour. It's getting late. If you two escort leaders don't mind, I'll treat you to a meal at the restaurant."

Cui Wei looked at Li Cunxiao with a little more appreciation.

He had no objection to the chief escort wanting to teach him the internal training method.

As for Li Cunxiao, he felt that he had some talent and was willing to work hard. At worst, after today, he could add another person who was brave enough to fight.

As for what Zhang Yuelu said about filial piety, brotherhood, loyalty and righteousness, he just listened to it.

Unlike the carefree Cui Yao, as an elder brother, he is more cautious and suspicious, otherwise he would not have been able to lead his younger brother to survive in the cruel vassal state and even escape in the end.

Hearing is believing, seeing is believing. At least from the conversation just now, he could tell that Li Cunxiao was a man of taste and good at handling things. No wonder Cui Yao was so attracted to him.

However, in the days that followed, the one who trained Li Cunxiao was no longer the stubborn Cui Yao, but Cui Wei.

"You are just a small escort, how much silver do you earn a month? I, Cui Da, can't even straighten my back after drinking your wine."

"Let's go. Since the head escort has spoken, I will first explain to you tonight what internal training is."

"Yue'er, you've always been thoughtful. Recommending Li Cunxiao shouldn't be as simple as just spending a fortune on horse bones, right?"

After the three men left, Zhang Lishi and Zhang Yuelu walked into the escort agency one in front and one behind.

The Zhang family's mansion was built next to the escort agency, with a small path connecting them. Zhang Que'er was so scared when he saw the fight today that he ran away.

For a moment, there were only the father and daughter in the corridor.

Zhang Yuelu heard this and took two quick steps forward, took her father's arm, and said softly:
"Father, don't you think there are too many children from wealthy families in the inner courtyard?"

Zhang Lishi was silent after hearing this for a long time before he let out a long sigh.

The so-called inner courtyard was actually just a place for Zhang Lishi to select outstanding young people in the beginning. In other words, it was a reserve force for disciples.

In the early years, there was a person like Shi Tie in the inner courtyard who was able to cultivate the internal organs of the third level. He respected Zhang Lishi as his biological father and was loyal to him. Later, he married Zhang Lishi's eldest daughter and had a good relationship with the Zhang family.

But in recent years, such people have become fewer and fewer, and now the inner courtyard where Cui Wei teaches boxing has become a small courtyard for the children of the inner city families.

It’s not that Zhang Lishi has any hatred towards the rich and the desire to help the poor, but his disciples have family ties. Although they are rich and powerful and can provide convenience to the escort agency in all aspects, at the same time, the relationships behind them are also complicated.

It is more difficult for children of wealthy families to remain loyal to the escort agency than those who have no roots and ordinary backgrounds.

Of course, absolute loyalty is hard to find in the world.

If it were a peaceful time, with everyone getting what they wanted, the escort agency could continue to prosper for several generations.
If it were a peaceful time, the eldest disciple Shi Tie, though honest and straightforward, would be able to become the leader who would maintain the status quo;

If it were a peaceful time, even if his descendants were not good, with Zhang Lishi's military power, he could still make the escort agency gain a foothold in Chuqiu County.

But a turmoil that could overturn the world is coming soon.

Murong Bo's ambition is almost laid out in the open. In recent years, he has not only trained a private army, but also formed alliances among several major families in the inner city.

The other party proposed a marriage today, and the purpose is self-evident.

There is no room for two tigers in one mountain.

"Yue'er is thoughtful and far-sighted, even her father cannot match her. It all depends on whether Li Sanlang can continue to make progress bravely. Let's not talk about this anymore."

"How are your preparations for breaking through the muscle realm going?"

Zhang Yuelu knew his father was worried, so he kept silent. But when he spoke of martial arts, his words became more lively.

"My daughter's Qi and blood have been perfect for several months, and I've practiced the seduction magic several times in advance. I estimate that I have a 70% chance of success."

"Oh?"

Zhang Lishi was overjoyed.

The stage of perfecting the qi and blood to the muscles is quite dangerous, and a 70% chance of success is already quite high.

The eldest and second daughters had practiced martial arts before, but neither of them could bear the hardship and gave up halfway after just controlling their qi and blood.

On the other hand, the third brother, Zhang Yuelu, has been practicing martial arts for three years and is only nineteen years old now. If he is there to watch over him during the breakthrough, the breakthrough in muscles will basically be a sure thing.

Thinking of this, he felt even more regretful.

If the third child was a son, wouldn't I have so many worries?
My daughter will eventually get married, otherwise, how about finding a son-in-law?

"Dad, I've been reading a lot of your books lately in preparation for my breakthrough."

"Compared to other spells of seduction, the Tiger Demon Fist seems to be quite moderate and peaceful?"

"Does this martial art have any origins?"

Zhang Yuelu had seen the children of wealthy families competing for education in the past, but she had never experienced it as deeply as she had when she reached this stage herself.

She and Zhang Lishi are father and daughter, so they didn't have many concerns and asked whatever they thought of.

Zhang Lishi heard this, and a hint of nostalgia appeared in his eyes. After a moment of thought, he said:
"This Tiger Demon Fist is indeed of great significance. It should be said that it is even more important than my father's other technique, the 'Little Yaksha Sword Technique'."

Zhang Yuelu was shocked when she heard this.

Others only think that Chief Escort Zhang is known for his Tiger Eyes and Crazy Knife skills, and that his swordsmanship is his most powerful skill.

Several senior brothers in the inner courtyard were also quite coveting this Little Yaksha sword technique.

But who would have thought that this Tiger Demon Fist, which seemed to have no other use except for safety, actually had a greater origin?

Zhang Yuelu was rarely curious and pulled her father's arm to beg.

"Dad~~~"

Zhang Lishi immediately smiled like an old father:
"I'll tell you, I'll tell you"

"Back when I was traveling around the world, I happened to meet an old Taoist priest who claimed to be from a great Taoist sect."

"The chief escort loves the roast lamb from Donglai Restaurant, and I prefer the beef from Deyue Restaurant."

"Look, these tendons need to be simmered for several hours before they become soft and tender. Slurp~"

As Cui Yao spoke, he took a big gulp and the dozen or so pieces of beef in the bowl went into his stomach like candy beans. He then took a sip of the warm rice wine, a look of satisfaction on his face.

"Comfortable!"

Cui Wei was already used to seeing his brother eating and drinking without paying attention to others. Li Cunxiao hadn't expected that the other party would just eat without any social etiquette. However, his mind wasn't on that.

"The realm of Qi and blood, no matter how many words you use, whether it's about sensing Qi, suppressing Qi, or strengthening Qi, to put it simply, it's about increasing Qi and blood, filling up the entire body."

"With more Qi and blood, you will be stronger, run faster, feel pain when you hit someone, and be more stable when you are hit."

Whenever Cui Wei speaks, he speaks in plain language, which is easy to understand.

"You are now at the Qi Sensing Realm, and you've fought someone today. You must know that fighting is different if you have Qi and blood, right?"

Li Cunxiao nodded in agreement.

Although he can control the qi and blood now, the amount is not sufficient, and it takes about a breath of time to mobilize it.

When punching with full strength, the legs cannot reach their maximum speed; when the legs are stretched to their maximum, the punching force will not be strong enough.

If today's opponent was not Zhao Xiaoyi, who had not exercised for a long time, and those yamen runners were too careless, it would be hard to say who would win or lose.

"Master Cui, can you please tell me the difference between Qi and blood circulation and controlling Qi and blood?"

Li Cunxiao tactfully poured the other party a glass of wine. Although Cui Wei didn't say anything, he was very happy in his heart.

"To put it bluntly, the human body is like a container. The total amount of Qi and blood is there. Some people are just buckets, and some are vats."

"No matter how well you control your Qi and blood, and how exquisitely you manipulate them, there's still a limit to how much you can control."

"The so-called Qi and blood circulation has different levels of size."

"The small circulation is to expand the heart and lungs, which serve as the palace of qi and blood."

"The heart is the organ of blood, and the lungs are the ruler of qi"

"Using special breathing techniques combined with medication, the Qi and blood will strengthen the heart and lungs. Over time, the heart and lungs will become like a water pump. With a single thought, Qi and blood will flow throughout the body. Every punch and kick is blessed by Qi and blood."

"In this state, weaker warriors can wrestle with wild bulls, and stronger ones can even outrun galloping horses and tear tigers and wolves apart with their bare hands. This is the peak of Qi and Blood."

"But as far as I know, only the chief escort master achieved such a feat when he mastered the Tiger Form Fist. Even Shi Tie was not as good as him, and the rest... cough cough..."

Perhaps because he drank too much, Cui Wei almost lost control of his mouth for a moment, but Li Cunxiao didn't care. He just found another problem in the other party's words:
"With a small circulation of Qi and blood, the state of Qi and blood bursting out cannot last long?"

"Of course!"

Cui Yao drank nearly a pound of wine, but his face was not red or his eyes were not dizzy. Hearing this, he said mischievously:
"A warrior at the Qi and Blood realm is like a man's thing; it can only stay erect for a short while and must be released at some point."

"If it stays hard all the time, that's a problem! For every ten breaths you're hard, you'll have to be soft for half an hour! Hahahahahahahaha!!!"

As Cui Yao spoke, he laughed so hard that he fell over.

Cui Wei couldn't help but laugh and scold when he heard this:

"You're right. Li Sanlang, that's exactly what Cui Er said."

"If you want to stay hard all the time, you need to let the Qi and blood flow through the meridians, and finally the blood and Qi enter the brain, forming a large circulation throughout the body."

"By then, your Qi and blood will overflow throughout your body, and you won't need to control them. When someone hits you, the Qi and blood beneath your skin will naturally rebound, as if you were wearing a layer of leather armor."

"A warrior of this level is no longer considered a soldier even in a vassal state, but at least a squad leader; in Chuqiu County, he is no longer an unknown person."

"Among those martial arts schools in the outer city, even the lesser ones are considered to be presentable if they have achieved perfect Qi and blood."

"Anyway, come to the hospital tomorrow and I'll teach you the breathing method and meridian map."

Upon hearing this, Li Cunxiao was about to raise his glass to express his gratitude, but Cui Wei stretched out his hand and covered the rim of his glass.

"Don't thank me, thank the chief escort. You kid..."

His eyes suddenly revealed some complicated emotions, and his voice became inexplicably low:

"Don't blame the escort agency for having so many rules. Compared to the cruelty of the military, you're already lucky."

Upon hearing this, Cui Yao, who was standing by, fell silent, which was unusual for him. This made Li Cunxiao even more curious about what kind of experiences the two Cui brothers had in the vassal army.
Me. Where am I?

What's wrong with me?
Zhao Xiaoyi opened his eyes and looked at the strange room blankly until he caught a familiar figure in the light.

"Second uncle, second uncle, by the way, that damned couple, that Li Nezha, I, my..."

Panic suddenly struck Zhao Xiaoyi, and he ignored the pain in his body and reached out to touch down.

Xie Donglai discovered that his nephew had woken up, and he was quick to grab his hands.

"Xiao Yi."

Zhao Xiaoyi suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart. When he was beaten yesterday, at least he felt pain, but now he felt empty down there.

After all, he was a martial artist who controlled his qi and blood. In his impulse, he actually controlled the qi and blood to rush downward. Xie Donglai was at a higher level. He realized something was wrong as soon as he saw his nephew's face. As soon as he lifted the quilt, he saw a fountain of blood rushing out, dyeing the embroidered silk sheets scarlet.

"Xiao Yi!"

Zhao Xiaoyi's eyes rolled back and he fainted again. When he woke up again, he felt groggy and had no strength in his body.

At this time, the lights in the house were out, and the dawn light was faintly visible outside. I could faintly hear my uncle talking to someone:
"First, your son has practiced martial arts, and second, the county lieutenant was willing to give him good medicine, otherwise he wouldn't have woken up so quickly. But you absolutely cannot mess up your Qi and blood like you did last night. This agarwood pill is harmless to the body, it just suppresses Qi and blood, which can actually relieve injuries."

"Is there really no other way?"

"The county lieutenant's martial arts skills are far superior to mine. You should ask yourself this question."

The conversation stopped and the footsteps gradually approached. After a moment, the door opened, but Zhao Xiaoyi could only see a vague black shadow.

"Xiao Yi, during this time, just focus on recovering from your injuries."

"Rest assured and recuperate?"

Zhao Xiaoyi seemed to have his scars exposed, and his expression instantly became ferocious and crazy:
"I can't even be a man anymore, how can I feel at ease? How can I recover from my injuries?"

"Uncle, didn't you say that the realm of muscles and muscles has many mysteries, and that demonic powers are even more unpredictable? There must be a way, uncle."

Seeing his nephew on the verge of collapse, Xie Donglai felt a mixture of pity and anger, unable to control himself for a moment:
"What were you doing earlier? You only know how to bully men and women. Did you put any effort into your martial arts training?"

"If you had listened to my advice, you wouldn't have ended up like this!"

However, thinking of his sister in the underworld, Xie Donglai's tone finally softened.

"The Xiao family in the inner city are good at the secret art of sex. Maybe they have a way. Let me find out a little bit and then make a plan."

Zhao Xiaoyi felt a little hope when he heard this, but then he gritted his teeth and said in a hoarse voice:

"Uncle, that Li guy made me suffer like this."

"Not for the time being," Xie Donglai frowned. Although he hated Li Cunxiao for bringing shame to his family, but since the county magistrate Murong Bai had specifically instructed him to do so, he could only endure it for the time being.

"Now is not the time to settle the score. You should recover first. There will be opportunities in the future."

Zhao Xiaoyi could only remain silent after hearing this. Soon the drug took effect and he fell into deep sleep again.

"Haqiu!"

Li Cunxiao sneezed, thinking to himself that someone must be keeping an eye on him, and strode towards the inner courtyard.

But halfway through the journey, an acquaintance suddenly called him.

"Brother Li!"

Why come closer? I just finished my morning exercise and am still sweating.

"Brother Li, aren't you supposed to take a day off after your escort mission? Why are you here so early?"

"Oh, this"

Li Cunxiao raised his hand and pointed to the small courtyard at the end of the road.
"I'm going to learn the internal training method from Master Cui."
