If you don't bring disaster to the world, what kind of henchman are you to be?
Chapter 20: The Jade-Destroying Finger
This finger technique is also recorded in the "Tianya Kelu" (Records of Travelers).
Among the vast array of martial arts in the world, the most difficult to master are eye techniques and finger techniques, and therefore the rarest.
Looking at the jade-like fingers, Zhu Qing was quite moved.
Firstly, my current duty is to investigate cases and apprehend people, and this kind of acupressure finger technique is very useful.
Secondly, this finger technique does not rely on any weapon and is more secretive than fist and foot martial arts, often having a surprising effect in actual combat.
Thirdly, you can master the skill by holding the control panel yourself and putting in the effort!
"This is it."
……
A moment later, he appeared in the martial arts training ground of the Northern Garrison Command, holding a pale yellow booklet in his hand.
[The novel "Crushing Jade Finger" has been included.]
【Jade-Destroying Finger (Unlocked)】
Zhu Qing brought up the panel and added the last bit of attribute value she had left to it.
[Jade-Destroying Finger +1]
【The Jade-Crushing Finger (Beginner 1/100)】
As the essence of martial arts was being instilled into his mind, Zhu Qing also clearly felt his hands rapidly heating up.
lol~
A few cracking sounds rang out, and a piercing pain spread without warning, causing Zhu Qing to gasp and her hands to twitch uncontrollably as if possessed.
The whole process lasted for ten breaths, by which time he was covered in sweat and breathing rapidly.
"This is the state after you have entered the basics of finger techniques."
He raised his hands, and it was noticeable that his knuckles had become larger, his fingers were longer, and his skin was whiter and smoother than before.
In fact, if a normal person practices finger techniques, their hands will mostly become covered with calluses, rough and hard.
However, Zhu Qing skipped this process and directly obtained the corresponding results, which is why she doesn't seem to have practiced finger techniques at all.
Of course, this is just a performance; the finger strength and wrist strength contained in these hands, which look like those of a frail scholar, far exceed those of others of the same level.
Sensing the clear change in power, Zhu Qing glanced around and then came to a wall.
With a soft "plop," his index finger easily pierced through the blue brick.
It's as easy as piercing tofu with chopsticks.
Zhu Qing grinned, secretly overjoyed.
If such finger force were applied to an enemy's vital point, the opponent would be severely injured, if not killed.
"What a pity. If I had such strong finger strength in my past life, I would have been very popular serving Hua Kai Fu Gui, and I wouldn't have had to suffer like a beast of burden." He chuckled to himself.
……
After that, Zhu Qing's life became more peaceful. Every day, besides solving cases and arresting people, he focused on cultivating.
Fortunately, he has now saved up a lot of gold and silver, enough to buy good medicine to aid his cultivation. Even on days when he doesn't kill enemies to gain attribute points, his cultivation level is steadily increasing.
Time flies, and half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
At noon that day, at the martial arts training ground.
Spring has arrived, the weather is getting warmer, and under the blazing sun, people can be seen practicing martial arts everywhere on the training ground, creating a lively and enthusiastic atmosphere.
In one corner, Zhu Qing stands shirtless, wisps of white steam rising from his body.
[White Ape Skill +1]
【White Ape Skill (Minor Success 1/100)】
As the subtitles appeared in front of him, the profound meaning of martial arts automatically surfaced in Zhu Qing's mind.
At the same time, the Qi and blood in the Dantian also expand out of thin air, filling the meridians.
The cicadas chirped continuously, acting as a transit station, transforming all the absorbed qi and blood into rich and pure qi and blood.
Zhu Qing closed his eyes and absorbed the sensation; after several breaths, the turmoil within his body finally ceased.
Then he opened his eyes, opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of white dragon, and his body felt refreshed and rejuvenated!
Feeling the increased blood and energy within her body, more than twice as strong as before, and her muscles becoming even more solid and powerful, Zhu Qing's lips curled slightly.
The middle stage of meat refining!
After many days of arduous practice, a breakthrough was finally achieved.
Then the panel will be brought up.
[Realm Level: Mid-stage Body Refinement (Minor Success 1/100)]
Martial Arts: White Ape Skill (Minor Success 1/100)
Thunder Blade Technique (Mastery 31/100)
Wild Goose Movement (Dacheng 25/100),
[Jade-Crushing Finger (Beginner 10/100)]
[Attribute value: 0]
"I've used up all my attribute points, it's time to take on more cases to accumulate more."
Zhu Qing put away the control panel and put on his official robe.
"Blessings, sir!"
At that moment, a dark-skinned, thin Imperial Guard rushed over and respectfully clasped his hands in greeting.
This was Qi Yunfei, the captain of the company, whom Zhu Qing had recruited after being promoted to centurion.
"Commander Yang has ordered you to return to the garrison immediately!"
"Did you say what it was about?"
Qi Yunfei shook his head: "Commander Yang did not specify the reason, but only emphasized that the matter was urgent."
"Um."
Zhu Qing nodded slightly and walked towards the Right Guard Post.
What kind of wicked nonsense is this guy surnamed Yang up to now?
During this time, through his interactions with Xu Lai, he learned that Yang Ting was one of Xu Lai's godson's confidants.
In the imperial court, such adoptive fathers and sons were essentially a matter of family and social standing.
As for his subordinate, whom Xu Lai had just begun to value, Yang Ting showed strong hostility.
After all, Godfather's resources are limited; if Zhu Qing has more, he will have less.
Therefore, the Right Guard often created obstacles and difficulties for Zhu Qing.
The fact that they're in such a hurry to summon me over probably isn't a good thing.
With that thought in mind, he stepped into the main hall of the Right Guard Office, where Yang Ting was sitting in a grand chair, drinking tea with a leisurely and deliberate expression.
"Your subordinate greets Lord Yang."
"Hehe, we're all family, Zhu Baihu, there's no need for such formalities."
Yang Ting gave a forced smile, pointed to a chair next to him, and Zhu Qing sat down calmly.
"Commander Zhu, how's your investigation into Xu Lingyun's murder going?" Yang Ting asked slowly and deliberately.
Zhu Qing calmly said, "This case is too strange, and there are no leads yet."
He killed the person, so of course there won't be any progress.
Xu Lingyun was a menace, and Zhu Qing certainly wouldn't keep him around for long, so he found an opportunity to kill him three days ago.
Although he was at the mid-stage of the Body Refinement realm, which was higher than his own, he was still no match for Zhu Qing.
After his death, it is said that Grand Secretary Tang was very angry and ordered the Northern Garrison to conduct a thorough investigation, which coincidentally fell on Zhu Qing's head.
Yang Ting then said, "In that case, you should put this case on hold for now."
"I've called you here because an important task has been assigned to our Right Guard Post. After much consideration, I've decided that you're the most suitable candidate."
"Lord Yang, what exactly is the matter?"
"It's simple, supervise the execution."
Yang Ting smiled slightly: "The court's interrogation of Qiao Manyue, the White Lotus Sect demoness, has concluded. This woman is stubborn and unrepentant, even uttering wild words and insulting His Majesty."
"Old Master Tang of the Cabinet has personally ordered that this woman and thirteen White Lotus Sect heretics be beheaded tomorrow to demonstrate the majesty of our court."
"Since you captured Qiao Manyue alive back then, then stick to the job. Commander Zhu, who else but you can do this mission?"
Yang Ting patted his shoulder lightly, his smile carrying a hint of danger.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Qing finally understood that this man surnamed Yang was putting her in a very difficult position.
But it doesn't really matter anymore. Anyway, I've already been put on a kill list by the White Lotus Sect for capturing Qiao Manyue alive. I'm not afraid of getting itchy when I have too many lice.
Moreover, this is also a good opportunity to kill Qiao Manyue and the others and accumulate some attribute points.
Zhu Qingke had long coveted the martial arts prisoners in the death row.
"Yes, I understand." He immediately accepted.
Seeing Zhu Qing agree so readily, Yang Ting laughed heartily, "Excellent! So dedicated to serving the court, Commander Zhu truly lives up to his godfather's reputation!"
……
As dusk fell, Zhu Qing brought Qi Yunfei to the death row. The latter carried a large food box containing the last meal before his execution.
As soon as Zhu Qing stepped into the dungeon down the stone steps, he saw that the passageway ahead was quite lively.
Seven or eight jailers stood in a long line, all looking excitedly at a cell at the end.
The last person turned around upon hearing the commotion, immediately stopped smiling, and stood solemnly.
"Congratulations to the hundred households!"
Upon hearing this shout, the other jailers turned around and fell silent.
"What are you doing?" Zhu Qing asked, looking puzzled.
One of them chuckled and said, "Sir, Lord Wang from the Dali Temple just came by. We all know that that vixen surnamed Qiao is going to be beheaded tomorrow."
"Lord Wang said that we guard prisoners work hard, so we can get a taste of the pleasures of young ladies. Brothers, let's line up now, hehe."
