There are two most difficult things in the world: one is to put your thoughts into other people's heads, and the other is to put other people's money into your own pocket.
Li Jiang encountered such a problem.
He taught Huo Qingtong the improved version of the Tianshan Three-Point Sword Technique, thinking that she already knew it, and with the idea of making up for it, secretly learning other people's Tianshan skills and returning a better one, wouldn't it further show that Daochang Li acted in a grand manner?
The kindness of a drop of water is repaid by a spring!
But the reality is that Li Jiang felt like a sap was slapped on his forehead, making him extremely depressed.
Huo Qingtong had only learned Tianshan Swordsmanship for a few years. She was pretty good at changing her moves, but it was very difficult to change her internal skills and mental methods.
It's also strange that Tianshan Double Eagle has good intentions for his apprentice and asked her to start cultivating her internal strength since she was a child to lay a solid foundation.
After more than ten years of this, Tianshan's inner strength and mental methods have been deeply ingrained in her mind. Which meridians the internal force passes through, with what force, and how much flow has also formed a body memory. If it increases by one point, it is too much, and if it decreases by one point, it is too little.
When Huo Qingtong dances the sword, he doesn't need to deliberately guide it with his thoughts, the internal force will operate automatically.
But now Li Jiang has changed her inherent thinking, which makes her very uncomfortable. She has to think about how to guide every move, so the progress is very slow.
Li Jiang had never had an apprentice before, and sometimes he was very anxious and wanted to explore her whole body to help her guide her inner energy to walk.
But this is just a thought. In today's social atmosphere, you don't even dare to touch Li Jiang, even if you are told not to touch it. Once it gets on your hands, you can't get rid of it. What's more, Huo Qingtong has other things on his mind.
.
It took Huo Qingtong two full days to roughly memorize the internal skills and mental methods of the improved version of the sword technique and practice them completely.
Before she could be happy for two minutes, she saw Li Jiang holding his chin and looking at her thoughtfully.
Huo Qingtong's face turned red immediately, and he asked coquettishly: "What are you looking at me for?"
"Oh, oh, don't think too much! I'm thinking about your martial arts." Li Jiang saw her shy look and quickly explained.
"What's the problem?" The children of Jianghu were really concerned about martial arts, but Huo Qingtong was led astray.
"I think your Qinggong skills are a bit lacking. If you can't fight but can't run, you're not suitable for being an assassin." Li Jiang said, pulling at a stubble in his beard.
"My body skills are very good, right? My masters are Tianshan Double Eagles, which means they are like eagles, their body skills are light and fast, and when they pounce on prey, they are thunderous and fierce." Huo Qingtong felt that Li Jiang was looking down on him.
He looked at her, obviously unconvinced.
You are fighting in a small pond, why are you so domineering? Li Jiang secretly complained.
"Hey, have you ever seen an eagle? Let me tell you, although you think eagles are fierce, they are actually quite docile. There are a lot of them in my hometown. Why don't you come back with me and have a look!" Huo Qingtong's mind suddenly jumped.
, and stared at Li Jiang with her big watery eyes, her unique weapon.
It's over, my scalp is numb again and I'm going bald.
Li Jiang pretended to cough, brought the topic back, and said, "Can this be the same as now? They used to pounce on little chickens, but now we ask them to pounce on a big tiger!"
Seeing Huo Qingtong's eyebrows rising, Li Jiang quickly added: "Qianlong is a big tiger. It's not like you haven't tried it a few days ago."
Ah! When Huo Qingtong heard this, his face fell. Li Jiang was right. He really couldn't run away. If it weren't for him, he would have been killed long ago.
She said in a low voice: "Then what do you think we should do? I'm going to follow you anyway, don't even think about leaving me." In the second half of the sentence, she raised her head and bravely looked at Li Jiang.
Li Jiang immediately retreated, looked up at the sky and said: "I have a light kung fu movement technique here, which is not only powerful for escaping, but also can remove the opponent's internal strength and weapons. It is the best in the world, how about it? Want to learn it?"
"That's nonsense." Huo Qingtong rolled his eyes.
"No, I jumped into the crowd to save you that day, and I used this kind of Qinggong to run away later. Think about it." Li Jiang suggested.
Huo Qingtong thought about it seriously. In fact, she was very satisfied with her Qing Gong. She didn't really want to learn other Qing Gong. But then she thought that if she didn't learn it, this person must have found a reason and would not take her with her anymore.
So she responded with mixed feelings.
At this point, Li Jiang's schedule was delayed again. He had to teach Huo Qingtong all the "Divine Movements" before he could set off.
The various transformations of the divine movement are not complicated. What is hard to imagine is the unique internal power operation method of this skill. As long as it is explained to a warrior, he will probably understand it. Huo Qingtong is certainly no exception.
Li Jiang summarized this light skill into three levels. The first level is to practice foot strength. After practicing this level, it is like applying oil on the soles of the feet. It is easy to travel a thousand miles in a day.
The second level of body training. After completing this level, you will be able to climb over a wall and enter a house as if you were walking on flat ground. There will be no hindrance in complex terrain and crowds. It is equivalent to a parkour master.
The third level is to train internal strength. After this level, your whole body will be as slippery as a loach, and no one can catch it. The principle is to rotate and vibrate the internal strength of the whole body, so that external forces can be released.
The first two levels are very easy. I think back then, Sir Wei, a person with basically zero internal strength foundation, could learn it. Of course, the third level of force relief requires a deep internal strength foundation, so he must not be able to learn it.
Another few days passed.
Huo Qingtong can quickly learn new methods of using internal power, and she has already reached the third level.
This made Li Jiang feel a little emotional. It is really difficult to change his own inherent concepts. It is better to learn new ones than to tinker with the previous ones.
Huo Qingtong may be addicted to learning new martial arts, or she may be willing to stay with Li Jiang. She no longer presses to assassinate Qianlong.
But Li Jiang couldn't stay any longer. This had already delayed several days, and Qianlong didn't even know where he had gone!
After he saw that Huo Qingtong's Divine Movement was barely usable, he hurriedly prepared to leave.
Calling back Xiaobai and Xiaoqing who were playing together outside, they jumped up and ran towards Deqing County.
Outside the county town, Li Jiang asked Huo Qingtong to wait outside with two horses. He wanted to go in and investigate.
After entering the city, the market was no longer as tense and lively as the previous few days. Li Jiang immediately understood that Qianlong had run away. He found a butcher shop where he bought cooked food, added some smoked pig heads, and inquired about the situation.
The boss was a chatty person, and he vividly told him about the emperor's cars, ceremonial guards, the heavenly soldiers and generals patrolling the small county in the past few days, etc., with a look of admiration on his face, as if he was about to soar after bathing in this heavenly power.
Similar.
Finally, when Li Jiang was impatient and ready to ask someone else, the boss woke up from his intoxication and said regretfully: "It's a pity that the emperor left three days ago, so we can no longer feel his majesty."
After saying that, he smacked his lips.
This guy has done the trick! I am not an official doing private interviews incognito. Who are you bragging to?
Li Jiang asked contemptuously about the emperor's whereabouts.
The boss looked at Li Jiang warily and asked, "Why are you asking about the emperor's itinerary?"
"Hey, isn't this because you speak so well of the emperor? I also want to get a little bit of dragon energy." Li Jiang said sincerely.
"Oh, brother, you are one of the same people." The boss gave Li Jiang a thumbs up, then pointed to the north gate and told him.
This direction was just as Li Jiang expected, and he was happy all the way out of the county.
