Gao Tongcheng and the others had already set off for Canghai Mountain. People from the Fan Escort Bureau were following them, so there was no need to worry about their safety. Master must have been very happy to see Gao Tongcheng.
After they left, there were only a few maids and two servants left in the Ming Mansion, with Xiaoya in charge.
Xiaoya is beautiful, with a fierce look on her brows, and she can tell at a glance that she is not soft-hearted and will not tolerate bullying. The entire Ming Dynasty is in order, which is better than when Mrs. Gao was there.
Li Muchan enjoyed his leisure time, ignored trivial matters, and began to practice the Nine Turns of Marrow Cleansing Sutra in seclusion.
He has simulated the Nine Turns of Marrow Cleansing Sutra thousands of times in his mind, and has become familiar with it to ensure that it is foolproof. Although the internal forces in the army rarely go crazy because they have no mind to interfere, but they are not immune to going crazy.
Using movements to guide internal energy is more dangerous than using the mind. Once out of control, there is no way to save it. Therefore, we created a set of military martial arts that are as dangerous as walking on a thin thread on a cliff.
Hundreds of years after the founding of Dayan, no one has created martial arts in the military. It was all passed down by previous generations.
Li Muchan had a strong mind, and the simulation in his mind was no different from reality. With such imagination, he dared to take the last step and create the Nine Turns of Marrow Cleansing Sutra.
He has always been curious about how Li Yujiao of Sheng Xuefeng achieved this. It must have something to do with the mental method she cultivated, and it also happened by chance.
He didn't have enough opportunities and didn't cultivate his character enough, so he could only think hard on his own. In the end, he decided to take the path of martial arts in the army. Success or failure was purely a matter of choice.
In the early morning, he stood alone in the small courtyard, motionless. The inner energy of the spring under his feet rolled, gurgled out, and penetrated into the air film. He found that when he practiced at night, the essence of the earth was particularly rich, far stronger than during the day.
The sun suddenly jumped out of the ground, and under the golden light of thousands of rays, Li Muchan immediately moved, changing from stillness, slowly extending his arms and bending his knees. With the movement, the rolling internal force rose from the spring and flowed along the meridians.
His movements are slow and gentle like Tai Chi, directing the flow of internal energy, one acupoint after another, and the acupoints are connected to form a strange pattern.
"Boom..." There was a sudden roar in his mind, golden light flashed in front of his eyes, and golden rain fell all over the sky, brilliant and magnificent.
A wave of severe pain hit him, and the golden light in his eyes suddenly dissipated, leaving only a few cold stars twinkling, and then they disappeared and returned to darkness.
He opened his eyes, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and gradually widened his smile, laughing loudly with unspeakable joy.
Nowadays, the internal energy of his body is billowing, and he is much stronger than before. The acupuncture points are like lakes and the meridians are like rivers. Both of them are brand new and expanded.
The expansion scale was almost one-tenth, which was obviously not much, but it was a good start. The Nine Turns of Marrow Cleansing Sutra was truly magical. He knew that he had done the right thing and found the right method.
In the following days, he kept practicing the Nine Turns of Marrow Cleansing Meridian. His internal energy flowed and his mind roared. Every time, there was a strange scene. Then the severe pain broke the strange scene, and then, the meridians and acupuncture points expanded.
He practiced for ten days at a stretch. With the last outlier, the acupuncture points and meridians finally doubled in size. After that, there were no more outliers, and the acupoints and meridians stopped changing.
Li Muchan understood that the first level had been completed, and if he wanted to expand the acupuncture points and meridians, he needed to practice the next level.
He is not in a hurry to cultivate to the next level, because his internal strength is not strong enough now. After completing the first level, his potential has been exhausted. If he wants to cultivate to the next level, he needs a deeper internal strength.
He then practiced the small dragon form and wanted to incorporate the small dragon form into his moves.
Although the Little Dragon Form is a move for cultivating internal strength, Li Muchan was not willing to accept it and wanted to turn it into a martial art to defend against enemies, and its power would naturally be infinite.
There are a total of nine postures in the dragon form, all of which are very simple and ordinary movements. To outsiders, they only think it is for fun and not for practicing. The movements are too ordinary.
Push the palm forward, push the palm up, push the palm down, draw the bow, draw the sword, dragon claw, tiger pounce, swim dragon, and ascend, a total of nine postures.
Forward palm push, just push your hands forward, push your palms down, press your palms down, push your palms up, lift your palms up, bow-drawing pose, lunge-drawing bow, sword-drawing pose, reach your hands to your back to make a sword-drawing posture.
Every movement is ordinary, and you can't tell that you are practicing martial arts. These simple movements can be turned into moves, but the movements are simple and the requirements are precise.
It is extremely difficult for ordinary people to practice to a standard and effectively, and it is even more difficult to still perform it calmly when fighting with others.
However, once it can be used, the internal energy is rolling in every movement of the hands and feet, and the power is naturally extraordinary, not inferior to the martial arts in the martial arts.
He practiced the first level of the Nine-turn Marrow Cleansing Meridian, and his body regenerated and changed, and his strength became stronger. He didn't know how strong it was.
He has practiced the indestructible power of the Vajra, which is the key. A strong body is the foundation of strength. Otherwise, if the strength is too great, it will hurt oneself.
With the expansion of acupoints and meridians, the Yongquan point is like a water pump, continuously pumping out the essence of the earth, and the speed has increased three to four times.
Firstly, the Yongquan point is expanded twice, and secondly, the meridians are expanded. When the dragon shape is running, the internal force flows and the suction force generated is also greatly increased. The combination of the two has an amazing effect.
In addition, he is physically strong and spiritually like a dragon. He practices tirelessly all day long and takes far longer than ordinary people. In this way, one month of his practice is equivalent to one year for ordinary people.
However, despite this, he was still not satisfied. He wished he could soar into the sky, become a tyrannical being, become a general, and return to Canghai Mountain.
Although the army was good, it was not his own home. He never had a sense of belonging, and it was even worse than the Ming Mansion. He stayed in the Ming Mansion for a month in the blink of an eye.
Since he refined the first level of the Nine Turns Marrow Cleansing Sutra, more than ten days have passed, and he has been cultivating the small dragon form. His internal energy is rolling, and his aura has increased slightly, which makes him overjoyed.
For a long time, no matter how he practiced, the air membrane never changed. Those internal forces seemed to flow to other inexplicable places instead of integrating into the air membrane, which made him worried.
Now that the air film has finally changed, he is confident that it is no surprise.
On this day, when he was about to practice the second level of the Nine Turns Marrow Cleansing Sutra, Zhao Shengli suddenly barged in. Xiaoya whispered outside the hospital that Mr. Zhao had something important.
Li Muchan had no choice but to leave the seclusion. Unwilling to give up, he came to the hall and saw Zhao Shengli sitting on the chair with a heavy face, staring blankly.
The early morning sunlight shines on the hall, making it clear, soft and full of vitality.
"Tou Zhao?" Li Muchan came in and frowned, "What happened?"
Zhao Shengli stood up vigorously and said loudly: "Monk, hurry up, let's go back quickly!"
Li Muchan waved his hand and motioned to sit down. Xiaoya brought tea and left lightly. Under normal circumstances, Zhao Shengli would have made a few jokes, but at this time he was staring at Li Muchan: "Monk, something big has happened!"
"What's going on?" Li Muchan held up the cup, took a sip, and looked calm.
Zhao Shengli said anxiously: "Grandma's Black Eagle Cavalry, they are so insidious. All the guys in the Flying Cavalry Camp were wiped out, and they started to take revenge!"
Li Muchan frowned and said, "Weren't the captain on guard?"
Zhao Shengli cursed bitterly: "How could the captain have imagined that every time he sent two groups of people to patrol the sentries, it was better this time. Not a single person was left in the two groups, they were all killed!"
"Kill them all?" Li Muchan asked in a deep voice.
Zhao Shengli's eyes were like spitting fire: "Twenty heads are piled together to demonstrate for us!"
Li Muchan put down the tea cup and said in a deep voice: "When did it happen?"
"It's been ten days!" Zhao Shengli said.
Li Muchan hummed: "Why don't you greet me?"
Zhao Shengli said: "You're not here!... The captain was annoyed and sent four teams, divided into two groups, to sweep the Black Eagle Cavalry on the grassland, but he couldn't find them."
Li Muchan said: "They have black eagles, so they can avoid them in advance!"
"No!" Zhao Shengli said bitterly: "If there are many of us, they will avoid us. If there are few of us, they will surround us and attack us secretly. It is extremely despicable!"
Li Muchan frowned, pondered for a moment and said: "Let's go, I'm afraid if I don't kill them, they won't be honest!"
Zhao Shengli said: "You practiced in seclusion, how are you doing now?"
Li Muchan nodded and smiled: "Fortunately, I have gained something. Zhao Tou, you haven't eaten yet, have you?"
"I've been traveling all night, so I don't have time to eat!" Zhao Shengli snorted.
Li Muchan said: "Then let's go to Changping Tower."
After that, he went back to tidy up, rode on Chiying, and left with Zhao Shengli.
At noon, the two returned to Tenglong City, and Li Muchan went to see the captain.
After informing him, a personal guard took him in. Li Muchan saw that this personal guard was covered in black armor and had a strong aura. It was obviously the black armor of the Black Eagle Rider that he snatched last time.
This black armor is very heavy and cannot be worn by ordinary soldiers. Only elite troops like the Black Eagle Cavalry can wear it. These personal guards are also elite. Wearing it, it is not bulky and the evil spirit is increased.
In the hall, the captain's face was as dark as water, and he was sitting quietly behind the case, meditating. When he saw him coming in, he waved his hand and pointed to the high-backed chair under the steps.
Li Muchan sat down and said in a deep voice: "Captain, let me go!"
"Are you going to——?" The captain pondered for a while and nodded: "Well, in our Black Tiger Camp, you are the only one who can control them!"
Li Muchan remained silent. The Black Eagle Cavalry was composed of martial arts masters. How could ordinary soldiers be their opponents?
Trained martial arts masters are much more terrifying than ordinary soldiers. Dayan's martial arts masters cannot join the army, so they cannot compete with the Black Eagle Cavalry.
Dayan's military law is strict, and the military is successful in martial arts. It is easy to kill enemies and make meritorious deeds, and will be promoted quickly. It will not be like the Black Eagle Cavalry, which has tyrannical power but is just an ordinary soldier.
It is extremely rare for someone like Li Muchan, who has injured so many people and has not yet been promoted, to be promoted.
Li Muchan said: "Captain, how many people are there in the Black Eagle Cavalry?"
The captain said: "There are thousands of Black Eagle Riders, stationed in various places. Here is only a small part. You killed a lot of them and hurt their vitality, but also caused big trouble."
Li Muchan said nothing and asked with his eyes.
The captain continued: "Most of the Black Eagle Cavalry are in the north and northeast of Western Zhao. They are fighting with the Great Khanate. They can withstand the Great Khan's cavalry, which shows how powerful they are. ... Those who come to garrison here are still one level behind."
Li Muchan frowned and said, "So, the real elite of the Black Eagle Cavalry haven't arrived yet?"
The captain nodded: "Yes, those who came back this time must have been withdrawn from there. Otherwise, they wouldn't be so cruel, killing people, beheading them, and piling them up in one place."
Li Muchan said: "Is this what the Great Khanate did?"
The captain nodded: "Well, the Han people are cruel by nature and have always enjoyed killing people. They like to hang heads on their waists to show off their bravery."
Li Muchan frowned and shook his head: "Fortunately, we are separated from the Great Khanate."
The captain said: "Western Zhao has been at war with the Great Khanate all the year round, and it has been affected by it, and it has become cruel. ... What happened this time should be done by the Black Eagle Cavalry who retreated from there."
Li Muchan said coldly: "Tooth for tooth, blood for blood...this time, I will do the same after killing them!"
"Well, that's right!" The captain slapped the desk hard and said with a gloomy expression, "Kill them so hard that they will become timid and dare not come out outside Tenglong City again!"
Li Muchan pondered for a moment and said, "Captain, I have a problem."
"What's the problem? Tell me!" the captain waved his hand.
Li Muchan said: "I only have a limited amount of arrows I can bring. I always bring four or five pots of arrows, which is not enough."
The captain frowned, left the case, walked down the steps and paced with his hands behind his hands. For a moment, he didn't have any good ideas. He walked around a dozen times and suddenly stopped.
"Captain?" Li Muchan looked happy.
The captain sighed: "It's a pity that your cultivation level is not enough. Otherwise, I could teach you the art of Qi Arrow."
"Qi archery?" Li Muchan said.
Du Wei said: "Condensing the inner strength into an arrow, as long as the inner strength is not exhausted, the arrow will not be exhausted."
"Can this technique be taught to me?" Li Muchan asked hurriedly.
The captain shook his head and said, "You are not good at it. You need to have a small dragon in full shape and the energy to overflow into clouds before you can practice the art of air archery. If I can't do it, you are even worse."
Li Muchan smiled bitterly and shook his head.
The captain sighed: "There is no good way. You can only take the opponent's arrows while shooting. Kill as many as you can. There is no need to rush."
Li Muchan said: "I'm afraid they will shrink back."
"That's better," the captain said.
Li Muchan nodded helplessly: "That's all we can do,...Captain, I'm going."
The captain smiled and said, "Should I ask Li Sima to follow you?"
Li Muchan shook his head: "It's best for me to be alone."
"Okay." The captain nodded without forcing it, and said: "After this time, no matter what, I will promote you to be a team leader!"
Li Muchan smiled and said: "Thank you Captain for your kindness. Either you don't do it or you are cool. The captain is really boring."
The captain stroked his beard and laughed: "Haha, what a loud tone. Well, when you accumulate military merit and become brigade commander, I will promote you!"
"Yes, thank you very much, Captain." Li Muchan performed a military salute, turned around and left the hall.
The captain was very kind to me, rarely restrained himself, and was very easy-going, completely different from others.
