Kou Zhong flew down from a boulder three feet high, and with a "peng" sound, he fell solidly on the beach. He fell to pieces and couldn't recognize anything.
Xu Ziling next to him knelt down, bowed his head and smiled bitterly: "Our Master Meiren'er is right, her "Bird Crossing Technique" is completely different from our own so-called peerless magical power, whether it is the way of activating luck or breathing."
, as if they can never be blended together. It seems that our dream of Qinggong can be called upon and retired."
Kou Zhong turned around, looked up at him and said, "Don't give up so quickly, okay? Remember our great theory!"
As long as the inside and outside are unified, we can activate the true energy in the body, and the only way to unite the inside and outside is to forget the two things."
Xu Ziling said distressedly: "The problem is that we are just ordinary people. We can't reach that level every time we jump high or low. Hey! I have a very stupid method."
Kou Zhong sat up suddenly and said: "If you can think of a solution to this difficult problem, it is definitely not a stupid solution."
Xu Ziling said: "Do you remember that adventure when we jumped into the sea from the big ship sent by Dongming?"
Kou Zhong said: "I can't even forget the dream! I almost drowned."
Xu Ziling said sternly: "Not only did we not die, we also naturally learned how to breathe underwater.
It can be seen that when we are in some kind of desperate situation, we will naturally bring out the treasure in our body, and this treasure has already been opened by the strange technique of "The Secret of Immortality", and only at the critical moment of life and death, the treasure will be forced out."
Kou Zhong looked at the stone he had just jumped off, and his expression changed: "Didn't you propose that we jump down from the hundred-foot-high cliff together?"
Xu Ziling shrugged and said, "What are you afraid of? If there was just the sea below, you would never fall to death."
Kou Zhong shook his head and said: "That will never happen. Only if we fall to pieces will our true energy be forced out."
This time it was Xu Ziling's turn to change his tone and said: "You are not serious!"
Kou Zhongsurong said: "The hundred-foot-high cliff is an exaggeration. I'm afraid Master Meiren'er will fall to his death. Ten feet is enough. Alas! Xiaoling! Let me go and try it first! If
If I really fall to my death, I will be cremated, and then my ashes will be taken back to my mother’s valley for burial. If you give up your desire to become a martial arts master, be a good cook. When you give birth to a son in the future, change your name to Xu Zhong to commemorate me.
Such a great brother!"
Xu Ziling lost his voice and said: "Tell me you were joking!"
Kou Zhong shook his head and said: "When you see people like Yu Wengu and Du Fuwei, you will never settle for mediocrity.
And if I meet a beautiful woman like my mother or the beautiful master, it will be difficult for me to marry an ordinary woman as my wife. No matter what, I have to fight for this place. If I win, I may develop peerless Qinggong. If I lose, I will
Go to the underworld to find your mother and show your filial piety, do you understand? My good brother."
Xu Ziling sat down slumped and said with a dumb smile: "Your words are always very convincing. If you want to die, just die together."
The two of them stood on the edge of the high cliff, looking down at the grass and rocks more than ten feet below, and hesitated again.
Kou Zhong whispered: "It seems a bit high. We are so stupid. We forgot to ask Master Meirener how many feet an average junior master can jump."
Xu Ziling looked at the magnificent starry sky and said with a wry smile: "Should I go back to sleep?"
Kou Zhong took a deep breath, closed his eyes and said: "When I shouted for the third time, we all jumped down together. Remember to... well, don't remember anything, just let everything take its course."?
Xu Ziling shouted: "One!"
Kou Zhong then said: "Two!"
Then both of them yelled "Three!"
Using their four legs, the two of them bounced off the edge of the cliff and arrived in the void outside the cliff.
In an instant, all the unforgettable memories of the past, such as meeting Fu Junma while playing in a stream, her death, being carried by Du Fuwei and running wildly in the wilderness, wandering on the street with Su Su, and being treated coldly by Qing Qing in a brothel. Wait, the astonishment I felt when I first saw Yun Yuzhen passed through my heart quickly in the gap of lightning, and then went blank.
Then I felt my body falling rapidly.
At this moment of life and death, I suddenly couldn't breathe any external air at all, but my inner breath was like a torch!
It was ignited with a sound.
Like a dream.
Suddenly, they understood the secret to stimulating the true energy in their bodies.
That is to say, acquired breathing must be cut off first before the true Qi breathing in the body can be activated, which is what Taoists call innate breathing.
The two of them had ant-like movements all over their bodies, and their true energy flowed endlessly.
Xu Ziling ascends from the gushing spring, while Kou Zhong descends from the heavenly spirit.
At the same time, they remembered Master Meiren'er's Bird Crossing Technique, took a deep breath of Qi, pressed down with both palms, and activated the "reaction force". They immediately generated an upward recoil force, which actually greatly reduced the speed of their descent, and they also headed towards It rose half a foot, turned around, and then fell into a pile of dense grass with a "peng" sound, falling like stars.
Kou Zhong got up first and shouted: "Mom! We succeeded."
Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling finally took an incomparable step in martial arts and made the most critical breakthrough. Although they are still far from the level of true masters, they are making progress in that direction.
One day, Xu Ziling had a sudden idea and took Kou Zhong to the bottom of the sea to practice martial arts. However, they were unable to gain a foothold, so each of them tied a stone to their feet, which improved the situation.
Gradually, they discovered that they could actually use luck to concentrate their strength on their feet, and even resist the impact of undercurrents, instead of relying on stones.
After making this discovery, they began to experiment with rising and falling in sea water, and had a great time practicing.
When they got to the ground, they had the experience of being underwater, and they became even more comfortable practicing the Bird Crossing Technique. They could easily fly up an ordinary tree that was about 10 to 20 feet tall, and even show off various postures and tricks when jumping down.
They exchanged weapons with each other to fight, and gradually mastered the method of luck.
That night came the big day agreed with Yun Yuzhen, and the two of them came to the beach dressed neatly.
Kou Zhong sat down and thought for a while, then said: "It is essential to be on guard against others. I forgot whether it was my mother who said it or Du Fuwei's."
Xu Ziling said: "It seems to be what my mother said. Don't you believe our beautiful master?"
Kou Zhongdao: "Martial arts masters are always unpredictable and cannot teach others how much we are worth. So it is best for us to hide our strength and not let Master Meiren know that we have learned her bird crossing technique. If she really When they try to harm us, they will have a little more capital to escape."
Xu Ziling nodded in agreement, looked towards the sea and said, "Look! Look!"
A small light appeared on the sea surface and quickly moved closer.
A speedboat darted between the rocks and arrived at shallow water.
The two of them focused their eyes, and the boat immediately became clear. They saw four big men supporting the boat. Standing on the bow was a young woman wearing a white dress, but she was not Yun Yuzhen.
The girl stood up, came up and down in front of the two of them, and said respectfully: "My maid Yunzhi, on the orders of the gang leader Miss Yunzhen, I am here to pick up the two young men on the boat."
They didn't expect Yunyu to really have such a move, so they exchanged glances and followed Yunzhi to the boat.
After boarding the three-masted ship, Yunzhi led the two of them to the main cabin and saw Yun Yuzhen sitting in the Taishi chair at one end.
They sat on the left and right sides, and Yunzhi withdrew, leaving only the three of them.
Yun Yuzhen smiled and said, "How's your practice going?"
Kou Zhong pretended to be ashamed and shook his head.
Xu Ziling cooperated flawlessly and sighed: "My blood is boiling as soon as I practice, so how dare I keep practicing."
Yun Yuzhen couldn't hide her disappointment, lowered her head and pondered, and finally said reluctantly for a long time: "We haven't finished practicing before we make any plans."
The two people immediately understood that although Yun Yuzhen said it nicely, in fact, he only taught them Qing Gong to help them achieve their mission, and they couldn't help but feel glad that they didn't tell the truth.
Yun Yuzhen sighed again and then said: "Do you know why the Dongming Sect was willing to let you on the ship that day?"
Kou Zhong said: "They come to Middle-earth every year and select some qualified young men to go back. Needless to say, they are all going to be the husbands of those women, right?"
Yun Yuzhen said: "First tell me what happened after you got on the boat that day. Don't omit anything."
Kou Zhong explained the matter in a few words, because the process at that time only took half a cup of hot tea.
Yun Yuzhen frowned when she heard this, and after a while she said, "This is really strange. Why does Mrs. Dongming ask you such strange questions?"
Xu Ziling said: "Do you need to say more? Since we wanted to choose a son-in-law, we naturally wanted to find some ambitious guys. When we found out that we were just two money-obsessed people, they kicked us off the boat angrily."
Kou Zhongqi said: "Don't you want us to steal their things? Then you might as well do it yourself. As long as they put away the ladder, we won't be able to climb up."
Yun Yuzhen said impatiently: "If there were other choices, who would rape you two brats? Now you are the only ones who can sneak into their "Piao Xiang No." in a big way."
The two of them were stunned.
Kou Zhong said in surprise: "Master Beauty, have you made a mistake? I'm afraid you and we are both unpopular with Mrs. Dongming, right?"
Yun Yuzhen said: "How can this moment be the same as the other moment? Now that you have done great service to the Dongming Sect, Mrs. Dongming also sent her four great protector fairies to look for you, but they can't be found!"
"
The two boys immediately became proud, and their hearts immediately warmed up when they thought of the beautiful little maid.
Yun Yuzhen smiled and said: "Do you understand now? I will try to make them find you by chance, and then you will have a chance to go to the "Piao Xiang"."
Xu Ziling said: "You haven't said what exactly you want us to steal!"
Yun Yuzhen said calmly: "Remember what I said that every gang has their own way to make a lot of money? The Dongming Sect is best at making high-quality weapons, which is very famous in the world. The most famous are more than ten magical weapons.
, three of them came from their foundry in Ryukyu."
Xu Ziling suddenly said: "So you want us to steal weapons."
Yun Yuzhen said angrily: "Unless it's a magical weapon like General Mo Xie, there's nothing worth stealing. What I want you to steal is a very important account book."
The two of them looked at each other in astonishment.
Yun Yuzhen's beautiful eyes flashed and she said: "This account book records the delivery records of weapons sold by the Dongming Sect in recent years. Both the seller and the buyer have their signatures and stamps, listing the types and quantities of weapons. Yu Wenhuaji ordered the Haisha Clan to attack Piao."
"Xianghao" is for this account book."
The two of them were confused and puzzled when they heard this.
Yun Yuzhen said: "This involves a struggle within the imperial court. For example, if a minister secretly buys a large number of weapons from the Dongming faction, then this account book will become a mountain of ironclad evidence, allowing Yu Wenhua to report that faint king and overthrow his opponent.
,do you understand?"
Kou Zhongdao: "Master Meiren'er is not Yu Wenji, so why did he get this account book?"
Yun Yuzhen said: "Don't mind my business, just steal the account book, and I will give you your freedom and the gold you promised."
If you are willing to give it a try, I will have someone teach you the best stealing techniques while there are still more than ten days left, is it clear?"
There was a knock on the door, and Yunzhi came to report: "There is a small boat chasing us from behind. It must be Mr. Li who is chasing us."
Yun Yuzhen's face turned slightly red and she said angrily: "Let this bastard, who makes people upset, get on the boat."
After a pause, he said: "Take these two brats to see Mr. Chen."
It was very unpleasant for the two of them to see that she was really happy for Mr. Li. Now they had to send away the two brats. Their self-esteem was greatly hurt, so they followed Yunzhi angrily.
After Yunzhi received Yunzhen's order, he took them to the upper corridor, came to a door, knocked on the door and said:
"Mr. Chen! The two young masters are here."
An old voice came out and said: "Let them come in!"
Yunzhi pushed the door open and taught them to go in by themselves.
When the two of them walked into the room, they realized that the room was surprisingly large. It was filled with all kinds of locks, models of houses, and some tools with unknown uses. The walls were covered with many architectural drawings.
It is a large workshop located on a ship.
A scruffy old man with a long beard was picking up a lock at the window and looking at it endlessly, without even looking at them, and said hoarsely: "Close the door!"
Xu Ziling closed the door.
The old man put down the lock and walked towards them. Since he was half a head shorter than the two of them, he had to raise his face to see their appearance clearly. He laughed dryly and said: "I heard that you have been having sex secretly since you were young, ha!"
Stretch out your hand first and let me see it."
The old man stretched out his hand and squeezed their four hands. After a while, he looked surprised and said, "I have never seen better hands than yours. There were two pairs of them at once, ha! I am Mr. Chen."
There is a successor planned."
He walked away with his hands behind his back, stopped in front of the cabin window, stared out the window and said: "If you want to steal something, in addition to a pair of dexterous hands, you must also have the quick wit to adapt to changes, excellent construction mechanisms, etc."
He walked back again, summoned two people to an architectural model, and said, "This building is composed of ten courtyards of different sizes. If I want you to steal a jade, how can you find the jade?"
"
Seeing that the two of them were speechless, he proudly came to another model and said, "Do you recognize it?"
Kou Zhong lost his voice and said: "Isn't this the mansion of the Yangzhou Governor?"
Chen Laomou said: "It's Yuchi Sheng's kennel. In fact, it's not too difficult to steal things. If I ask you to steal a confidential file, after reading it, you should write down everything recorded in the file in your mind.
You also need to put the file back to its original place so that no one knows it has been read. In addition to having strong skills, you also need a good memory. Oh! Are you literate?"
Kou Zhong was already suspicious of Yun Yuzhen, and of course he would not tell the truth. He said with shame, "How can we have the chance to go to school?"
Chen Laomou said sympathetically: "I can't blame you. Fortunately, for this mission, you don't need to be literate at all."
He led the two of them to a hanging picture on the left wall and said: "This is the "Fragrant Fragrance" that you have been to. The blackened places are places that we are not clear about yet."
The picture is a three-dimensional perspective view of the "Fragrance", but the main cabin below the deck is blacked out.
Chen Laomou continued to explain, and the two of them found it interesting. They listened patiently and asked questions from time to time. At dawn, Yunzhi came and took them to the room at the end of the corridor near the bow to rest. The two fell asleep.
He wasn't woken up until dusk.
Two pretty maids came to wait on them to bathe and change clothes. They shaved their beards and combed their hair into buns. When Yunzhi came to lead them to the cabin, she saw her beautiful eyes light up and said in surprise: "It turns out that the two young masters are together.
It's really disrespectful to show your talent."
Seeing how pretty she was, Kou Zhong leaned over and asked, "How old is your sister this year? She seems to be about the same as us, right?"
Yunzhi said angrily: "I am older than you. Come on!"
Went in the lead.
The two of them knew that she looked down on them, so they exchanged frustrated expressions and eyes and chased after her.
When we arrived at the cabin, a banquet of food and wine had been laid out. There were only three seats. Among them sat a tall man in brocade robes. He looked ugly and had a scar about two inches long on his left cheek, which gave him a ferocious look. But his eyes
Shining and spirited, one can tell at a glance that he is a master of internal skills.
The man was very polite. He stood up to welcome them and said, "I, the deputy leader of the Jukun Gang, Bu Tianzhi, and the leader of the Yun Gang, have something to do and have gone to the shore. I asked Bu to take the responsibility of greeting the two little brothers."
The two of them couldn't see the beautiful master, and thought that she must have gone with that Mr. Li. They felt disappointed, but they couldn't resist the temptation of food. After a few words, they sat down to eat and drink.
All the unpleasant things are left behind.
Bu Tianzhi kept asking about their past affairs. Kou Zhong made them up casually, and the deception seemed to make him very satisfied.
Before the banquet was over, Bu Tianzhi summoned someone to fetch a brocade box, opened the lid, and placed a beautiful booklet inside. The Dongming Sect's logo was printed on the cover, which was exactly the same as the flag embroidered on the "Piao Xiang Hao".
The two of them looked at Bu Tianzhi in surprise.
Bu Tianzhi didn't say anything. He opened the first page and saw that it was densely covered with words written in ink and cinnabar. On one side was the type and number of weapons written in black ink, and on the other side was the number of silver codes written in vermilion. It was actually
In terms of gold, the largest sum amounts to three thousand taels of gold, which is enough for an ordinary person to last for more than ten lifetimes. There is also a date and delivery place.
The most shocking thing is that at the top of the page, there are six words "No. 1 Li Clan in Longxi", but there is no monogram seal or anything like that.
Kou Zhong pretended to be confused and said: "It recognizes me, but I don't recognize them. What is written on it?"
Bu Tianzhi turned to the second page, but it was blank.
Bu Tianzhi took back the first page and said: "We asked two little brothers to steal this account book. This is what it looks like when you open the first page. You should remember it carefully and don't make a mistake."
Xu Ziling tentatively pointed to the word "一" on Li Clan No. 1 and said, "I recognize this as the word "一", but I don't recognize the others. What exactly was written?"
Bu Tianzhi said: "Don't worry about what you write. The word "一" only refers to the first page. I will read it to you one more time when you leave the ship."
The two of them were even more suspicious, but they were going to learn his great stealing skills from Chen Laomou. They had no time to think about it, and secretly practiced in the room when they had free time.
Five days later, they passed the mouth of the Yangtze River. They stayed at the dock for four days, but the two of them were not allowed to go ashore. Then they set off northward. When they had dinner, they found out that Yun Yuzhen had returned, but Bu Tianzhi was missing.
Yun Yu is really full of energy, and her whole body is so beautiful that it seems to be shining. However, Kou and Xu know that she has not confided in them, and they no longer have the same longing for her beauty as they did at first. Because she is definitely not another Fu Junma or Su.
white.
Kou Zhong asked: "Where are we going now?"
Yun Yuzhen said: "We are now going north to Huai River and then west to Zhongyang. We will arrange your actions then."
After looking at them intently for a while, he said with a smile: "You will be a handsome man in two years. Now that you have shaved your beard and styled your hair, you are much more handsome than before. How old are you this year?"
Kou Zhong said: "I have just turned eighteen, and he is one year younger than me."
Yun Yuzhen said happily: "I heard Mr. Chen say that you two can learn all the skills at once, and you have lived up to my expectations of you."
Xu Ziling said: "If we really stole the account book, how would we leave the ship?"
Yun Yuzhen said: "Don't worry about this. I will teach you how to use light signals to contact us. Then I will personally come to the ship to pick you up and make sure you are safe."
Kou Zhong said: "Why did the Dongming sect stay in the Central Plains for so long?"
Yun Yuzhen said: "Every three years, they go to the Central Plains for a period of time to accept new orders and collect accounts. As for the weapons, there are ships responsible for transporting them. You don't need to pay attention to these."
Xu Ziling asked: "Is there any new change in the situation outside?"
Yun Yuzhen said calmly: "Du Fuwei still defended Liyang and repelled the Sui army several times. Dou Jiande claimed to be the King of Changle four months ago, and his reputation was even greater than that of Du Fuwei. Recently, several more people have emerged.
, one is Xu Yuanlang and the other is Lu Mingyue. Both of them are important figures in the martial arts world. But in terms of coaxing, they are not as good as the Yingyang faction. Liang Shidu and Liu Wuyi joined forces to rebel against the Sui Dynasty. They were both
They are Sui generals, so their rebellion has greatly weakened the power of the Sui Dynasty."
Xuan sighed again and said: "These two people have a close relationship with the Turks. Master Liang has recently worshiped under the Turks' "Martial Lord" Bixuan and became his disciple. If the Turks intervene, I don't know how to end this situation.
Cleaned up."
The two of them remembered Liang Shidu's son Liang Shunming and Shen Tianqun's beautiful daughter Shen Wushuang, and they were crazy about it.
Xu Ziling was concerned about Su Su and asked about her master Zhai Rang.
Yun Yuzhen knew the situation well and said calmly: "Zhai Rang and Li Mi are concentrating their forces to attack Xingluocang. If they succeed, the Sui Dynasty will be in danger. In the rebel army, if we talk about virtue and reputation, we will think that we are great."
Zhai Rang, the leader, has the strongest momentum, but his momentum relies entirely on Li Mi, so sooner or later there will be problems."
Then Qi said: "You seem to have some knowledge of this aspect?"
Kou Zhong said: "Du Fuwei told us."
Both of them were worried about Su Su, so they finished eating in a hurry and went to learn skills from Chen Laomou. When they returned to the room, it was already the third watch.
The two pretended to go to bed on the couch and hid in the tent to discuss.
Kou Zhongdao: "Our beauty master is very beautiful, but his mind is not very good. He is clearly using us to steal things and harm others."
Xu Ziling said: "It's the person who threatens Li Clan like he threatens us, so we won't be his accomplices. Why don't we just run away?"
Kou Zhong sighed: "Do you think I don't want to leave? The problem is that if Master Meiren'er is really determined to announce our whereabouts to the world, and even send us a portrait with our face, then we will really be unable to move, so we must
Come up with a good escape plan."
Xu Ziling said: "When I really want to see Mrs. Dongming, I can tell everything and ask her to take us to Ryukyu, but if I do this, I won't be able to avenge my mother."
Kou Zhong said: "I can't see Brother Li and Sister Su Su either."
After the two were silent for a while, Kou Zhong said: "Have you noticed that the situation on the ship is a little strange these days?"
Xu Ziling nodded and said: "Since Master Meiren'er returned, the ship suddenly became tense, and the waterway changed from time to time. It seems that we are preparing for some kind of enemy."
Kou Zhong clapped his legs and said: "Yes! These people may be coming for us. For example, the Haisha Gang, or our father Du Fuwei. You can plant spies in other people's places, but others cannot use the same method."
To deal with you?"
Xu Ziling smiled bitterly and said: "What kind of stupid method is that? Let dad and Han Pu get it. I would rather stay here."
At least it's a courtesy that's deceived."
Kou Zhong said confidently: "The mountain people have their own tricks, so let's use the trick of "escape by death". It looks like we are being killed, but in fact we are escaping."
Xu Ziling said dejectedly: "It's easy to say it, but how can we do it?"
Kou Zhong said: "If we were elsewhere, or our skills were as useless as before, we wouldn't be able to do it. But now we only need to fake the trick, fall into the sea, and then get some blood, and then sneak out of the sea. At that time
Everyone thought we were buried in the sea. Couldn't we be free again?"
Xu Ziling said: "What about the blood?"
Kou Zhong made a stealing gesture and said with a smile: "We eat large pieces of chicken every day. Do you know that there are a lot of chickens in the dining room? Do you understand?"
Xu Ziling said distressedly: "The problem is that we don't know when the enemy will come. If the blood is taken too early, it will condense into hard lumps early. If lumps of hard chicken blood emerge when falling into the sea, wouldn't it be a joke to others?"
Kou Zhong said: "We can stun the chickens. This is our special trick among chicken thieves. After stealing them back, they stuff them under the bed. If the enemy hasn't come yet, just replace them with two more chickens. This method will work."
When Xu Ziling was still hesitating, Kou Zhong sat up and said, "It's time to try our light body skills and Chen Laomou's stealing skills.
