Chapter 71 Martial Arts Training
There are still two martial arts schools in Pingyang Town. The Shuimu Sect is coming on strong, so we should do our part.
After thinking for a moment, everyone present looked at each other.
"Let's just forget it. The fewer people who know about this, the better. Besides, the two hall masters combined are not enough for Third Senior Brother to defeat alone, and they can't help much. When the time comes, we can find out the location of the mountain ghosts and ask them to come out and finish the job." Xiang Changsong suggested.
Hu Qi frowned, "If the Shuimu Cult really wants to refine the Fetal Pearl Pill again, the quality of the fetus must be better and stronger. Master Yang is not here, so the martial arts hall may be the first to bear the brunt. Is there a certain risk if I don't tell you?"
"If we tell them, there's no guarantee that there might be any hidden agents in the martial arts hall, which could allow the Shuimu Sect to take action ahead of time, which would make it difficult for us to cope with the situation. Knowing the plan in advance is an advantage for us."
Hu Qi and Xiang Changsong both fell into deep thought.
So tricky.
Liang Qu listened to the discussion between his two senior brothers and felt that the matter was difficult to handle. There were risks whether he spoke up or not.
After a while, Hu Qi continued, "According to Master's Wife, if the mountain ghost in Yixing City was accidentally attracted by the river god sacrifice, then how do we explain the one in Fahua Temple? We haven't caught that mountain ghost yet. Now it seems that the people of Shuimu Sect may have dealt with it first.
I originally thought that Master Lu looked like a mountain ghost that had been hatched, but now I can’t be sure whether that appearance was artificially forged after the fetal pill was taken, or whether he had indeed hatched a mountain ghost?”
"Is it possible that the Shuimu Cult's control over the mountain ghosts is not that strong? Are they also playing with fire? Or is it that the number of mountain ghosts has already reached a very large number, so there are some omissions?"
“Too little information.”
"Well, I think the most urgent thing is to tell Senior Brother Xu and Senior Brother Lu and see what they think."
Liang Qu stood up and suggested: "Then I will go find Senior Brother Lu, and Senior Brother Xiang will go find Senior Brother Xu?"
Hu Qi looked up. It was already late, so he nodded and said, "Then I will stay in the martial arts hall. Remember to keep quiet and don't let anyone see us."
"Ah."
The two men nodded, and Liang Qu was about to step out of the round door when Hu Qi suddenly called him.
"Junior brother has already broken through?"
"Yes, the day before yesterday."
"It's a few days earlier than I thought. Junior brother is really gifted and must have a destiny."
It’s fate again.
Liang Qu vaguely remembered that when he first merged with Ze Ling, he could get his fate.
In this way, I do have a destiny.
"Since you have passed the test, Junior Brother, don't stay at home and work in seclusion in the future. It's dangerous outside these days. You should stay in the martial arts hall and practice more fighting skills. I will teach you another martial art."
Martial arts.
Liang Qu knew this and recorded it in "My Thoughts on the Cultivation of Nature and Life". It is mainly divided into three types: superior, middle and inferior, with three levels in each.
Unlike exercises, martial arts are techniques, a superb display of skills. By drawing in the qi, the same punch, palm, or arrow can be unleashed with several times the power.
With his current level of energy and blood, he could barely display inferior martial arts. Hu Qi must have felt that he would not be able to break through the physical barrier in a short period of time, so he thought of learning martial arts to help him improve his combat effectiveness as much as possible.
"Your injury this time reminds me that after this is over, you have to go to Changchun Medical Clinic to learn some medical skills. You don't have to learn too much, but you have to know the basics of herbal identification and bone setting. These are very important when you are out in the world.
Everyone has their last moments, and simple herbs are extremely valuable in difficult times. Moreover, even the best panacea can only help you recover, but it is impossible for your broken bones to automatically correct themselves. If no one helps you, and you take the medicine rashly, it may heal into a deformity, making it even more difficult to recover. "
Hu Qi said solemnly, fearing that his junior fellow apprentice might think the things were unimportant and not take them seriously, so he specifically gave two examples.
Liang Qu knew that Hu Qi was right, but he felt that the burden on his shoulders was much heavier.
He is like a child whose parents have taken him out to sign up for several interest classes. The key is that it is really for your own good and he has to learn.
Reading, learning martial arts, learning medicine, and after the Shuimu Sect incident, Liang Qu even felt that he should learn more about history and secrets, otherwise he would be confused when encountering problems.
This is the difference between a wild-born and a traditional martial arts disciple. A traditional martial arts disciple may not necessarily be better than a wild-born disciple in fighting, but he is definitely more comprehensive, knows more, and has a greater chance of surviving in difficult situations.
"Okay, it's okay. I just want to tell you to go and come back soon."
"it is good."
Liang Qu turned around and walked out of the round door, until he passed through the corridor and came to the entrance of the martial arts hall. He suddenly remembered something.
"Oh no, I haven't asked for leave from the academy yet."
Today is not a day off!
He stood up the academy!
I had thought that after offering sacrifices to the river god at noon, I would still have time to go back to the academy for classes, but so many things happened that I forgot about it and didn't even ask for leave.
It's dark now, I guess there's no one in the academy. I'll find a chance to apologize tomorrow.
In Lu Gang's house.
Liang Qu walked in quietly under the guidance of the doorman. He didn't know why he did this, it was completely a subconscious action.
It was dark, but it was only a quarter past seven, just a little after seven. It gets dark quickly in winter.
Normally, there should be the sound of iron hammering at Senior Brother Lu's house, but today there is no sound at all.
Entering the house, several large iron stoves had gone out, leaving only the large red stove in the middle that was used by Senior Brother Lu. Two strong men were guarding it, and Senior Brother Lu was leaning against the side with his eyes closed to rest.
Almost at the moment when Liang Qu entered the room and brought up the air current, Lu Gang opened his eyes and looked towards the door: "Junior Brother Liang?"
"Senior Brother Lu." Liang Qu bowed. From what he saw, he knew that Senior Brother Lu had been working very hard on his spear in recent days.
"What's up?"
Liang Qu looked around and asked, "Brother, can we talk somewhere else?"
"Let's go to the quiet room."
In the quiet room, Liang Qu told Lu Gang everything that had happened to him today, including the communication between the Yang Mansion and the martial arts school.
Lu Gang frowned.
"I know a little about the Shuimu Sect. I thought it was extinct, but it's still around. Now that we have some free time, let's go to the martial arts hall."
Arrive at the martial arts gym.
Hu Qi greeted Lu Gang, and the three of them waited together for Xiang Changsong and Xu Zishuai.
After waiting for nearly three quarters of an hour, I finally saw two figures hurriedly walking out of the corridor.
"Sorry, sorry, I'm late, I'm late." Xu Zishuai apologized repeatedly as soon as he came in. Liang Qu could faintly smell the scent of rouge.
"Where are you fooling around again?"
Lu Gang frowned, and although he was asking a question, his eyes were looking at Xiang Changsong.
Xu Zishuai looked threatening and smiled helplessly at Changsong: "Brother Lu, you already have the answer in your mind, right?"
Lu Gang sighed helplessly: "My fellow apprentices are all here, so I won't say anything to you. You can handle it on your own. If you go to places like that too often in the future and your legs and hands become weak, don't blame me for not reminding you."
"Hehe, Senior Brother Lu, don't underestimate me." Xu Zishuai straightened his back, brushed his knees, and was about to brag.
"Okay, stop playing around and talk about serious matters. Do you know everything about the Shuimu Sect?" As the oldest and most powerful disciple present, Lu Gang naturally took on the responsibility of taking the lead.
Xu Zishuai looked serious: "Regarding the Shuimu Sect, I do have an idea."
