"You." Cheng Shaojiu pointed. "Cheng Jing has practiced martial arts since she was a child and has been practicing for eight years. Now her energy and blood are on the verge of a second breakthrough. She may break the limit at any time. She is much stronger than you are now.
.”
Wei He was silent, but the level of Qi and blood could only be polished little by little. Martial arts practice, especially martial arts practice in this world, has never been easy.
"Anyway, you have to work harder. Accumulating qi and blood is just a piece of cake. As long as you are willing to work hard, you can accumulate it. The key is this level." Cheng Shaojiu put away the qi and blood, and the gray color of his fists slowly faded away.
“The level of Shipi is the second time to break through Qi and blood, and many people cannot pass it.
Some people have reached Qi and blood early, but they are stuck here and just can't get over it. A stuck state lasts for several years.
The more stuck you are, the more anxious you are, and the more anxious you are, the more stuck you are, such a vicious cycle. What’s worse is that as the years go by, once the Qi and blood pass the peak of twenty, they will slowly decline. By then, I will feel even more anxious.
.”
Cheng Shaojiu sighed.
"That's why Xiao Ran attracts so much attention. Because he is too young and has great potential in the future."
Wei He understood, and after being silent for a while, he said again.
"Senior brother, how strong is Xiao Ran now?"
"He..." Cheng Shaojiu mentioned Xiao Ran, with a complex look on his face.
"Last time we had a small meeting, I tried my best and lost two of his moves."
"..." Wei He was shocked. This Xiao Ran went out every day and didn't practice much when he came back. He still had such strong strength. It was simply terrifying.
"Okay, let's not talk about him anymore. Xiao Ran's kind of genius is beyond our comparison.
Geniuses naturally have geniuses to compare with. We ordinary people should take it one step at a time and lay a solid foundation.
If you and I can break through the limits of stone skin and polish Huishan Quan to the level of our teacher in our lifetime, we will already be very powerful."
Wei He nodded in agreement.
According to him, Cheng Shaojiu was stuck for three years between the second breakthrough of qi and blood from cowhide to stonehide.
As for Cheng Qing, she was stuck at this level four years ago and is still stuck at this level now.
The reason why the checkpoints and checkpoints are named Guanheka is because ordinary people often get stuck here. It is for this reason that it is named like this.
"Recently, many brothers and sisters in the courtyard have chosen their own places. With the money and food to support practice, everyone's energy and blood are not growing slowly, so you have to work hard quickly." Cheng Shaojiu reminded.
"Senior brother taught you..." Wei He nodded.
"Okay, I won't tell you anymore. I have to go to the inner city later to see Jiang Su's situation." As soon as Cheng Shaojiu mentioned the inner city, he smiled proudly.
Wei He looked slightly contemptuous.
Lately, I have been hearing him talk about the inner city and what is so good about the inner city, which makes him, a rich man, glow with joy every time he mentions it.
It seems that he saw what Wei He meant.
Cheng Shaojiu waved his hand impatiently.
"When you go there in the future, you will know the benefits. That place is a real gold-selling cave. Once you go in, it will be an endless experience."
Judging from his tone, Wei He knew what kind of place it was.
"You don't understand the relationship between men and women, you're just a little brat. Hahahaha!" Cheng Shaojiu pointed at Wei He and laughed.
Wei He had a dark face. He understood it in his previous life, but he really can't understand it in this life.
"Okay little brat, let's go and play." Cheng Shaojiu joked with a smile, pretended to shake a paper fan in his hand, and turned around.
Wei He looked at him like that and suddenly thought that money had collapsed recently and prices could only be traded through barter.
Among them, the hardest currency is dried bacon.
Imagine that when Cheng Shaojiu went to find his sister, he did not carry any money, but carried a dozen strips of dried bacon.
As soon as Laoyuan saw his sweetheart, he loudly threw the bacon out.
"Cuihua, your bacon~~~"
"No, this is your bacon~~"
Two people are good to each other, leaning on each other...
That scene....
Wei He himself couldn't help laughing.
After laughing for a while, he calmed down and was about to continue practicing.
"Practice alone? How about we practice together?"
Suddenly Cheng Jing's voice floated from one side.
This woman's voice is very unique. It is decisive and quick, making it unforgettable.
Wei He looked around and saw Cheng Jing wearing a long black coat with a colorful wreath around the collar, like a scarf. Her hair was neatly combed, as if she had just come out of a new clothing store.
"Are you wearing new clothes? Go change your clothes and fight again." Wei He reminded. Wearing a wreath around your neck, this aesthetic is unmatched.
"It's okay. I specially ordered it. It took me a long time to make it." Cheng Qing jumped lightly and landed on the martial arts training ground.
"Okay, take the move."
She was very excited and rushed forward in a few strides.
A side kick with one leg, aimed at Wei He's waist.
This leg is extremely fast and powerful. It looks like it is serious at first glance, and there is absolutely no force left behind.
Wei He also concentrated on responding. He used his right hand with the strongest force and made a fist outward.
Bang.
Their fists and legs met, and what Cheng Jing was wearing on her feet was actually not leggings and short boots, but black red flower shoes.
With this step, the embroidered shoes flew far away, revealing Cheng Jing's little feet wearing white stockings.
Now both of them were stunned.
Cheng Jing was stunned because she forgot that the shoes she was wearing could not move her feet.
Wei He was stunned, not because the other party's little feet were so beautiful and delicate.
But...it stinks...
A thick rotten stench, like rotten fish and shrimps, rushed towards Wei He's little feet in front of him.
His expression changed slightly on the spot, he tried hard to hold back his heart, and took a few steps back.
Standing in place, luckily the wind in the martial arts field was strong, which temporarily blew away the strong foot odor.
But at this moment, Wei He's impression of Cheng Jing in front of him suddenly changed dramatically.
"Or, change a pair of shoes and try again?" He said in a deep voice while holding his breath.
"..." Cheng Qing's face turned from white to red, and then from red to white.
She could smell the strong foot odor herself.
This made her original interest in sparring instantly turn into shame and anger.
After being stunned for a moment, she quickly came to her senses, walked over, picked up the little flower shoes, lowered her head and put them on again.
"Hug... I'm sorry... I've had sweating on my hands and feet since I was a child. It's getting worse as I get older. Now there are things growing between my toes every day... I really can't help it..."
"..." Isn't this athlete's foot?
Wei He was speechless.
You have athlete's foot and you kick your feet on others every day. Is there something wrong with you? Are you mentally ill? Or do you just want others to spread the disease?
Wei He kept complaining in his heart.
"I suggest you go back and soak it in strong vinegar." He said seriously.
"...It has been soaked. It is useful outside, but it will grow again soon."
"..."
Cheng Qing finally left. Looking at the shame and anger on her face, he probably wouldn't want to see this girl again in a short time.
Wei He sighed and continued to practice his moves.
To develop tricks into conditioned reflexes, it requires a lot of repeated practice, and there is no shortcut.
...
...
...
Inner city.
Huachuan Street.
There are no distinctions between towns in the inner city, only neighborhoods.
There are five major blocks in total, among which Huachuan Street is a veritable gold-selling cave and the most prosperous and lively place in the entire Feiye City.
From the outer city to the inner city, there are almost two worlds.
A large number of traffic and buzzing people flowed continuously on Huachuan Street.
The shops on both sides were bustling with entertainment, and various means of attracting customers were used in front of the door.
There are various floating lanterns in mid-air, with advertisements written on them tied with silk threads.
Gambling houses, wine houses, singing and dancing houses, treasure houses, and orioles halls can be seen everywhere.
With the bustle of people, it hardly seemed like it was dark in the evening.
On the second floor of Yunluo Restaurant.
Cheng Shaojiu sat by the window, his face slightly reddened by the light from the lantern outside the window.
With a hint of excitement in his eyes, he looked at the flower boats being paraded below.
The flower boat is an activity where the most beautiful flower girls here take a boat and parade through the streets to show off their talents.
This boat was carried by people and decorated with countless flowers around it, so it became known as the flower boat.
"In my life, this is the first time I have seen flower boats parading in the inner city! It's a worthwhile trip, it's worth a trip!" Cheng Shaojiu couldn't help but sigh.
Sitting at his table were Jiang Su, Jiang Yan, and Xiao Ran.
Jiang Su had a smile on his face and remained calm. He just looked at the bustling scenery outside with some warmth in his eyes.
Even she rarely sees such prosperity.
Xiao Ran had been here before, so he got used to it a little, but when he looked at the beautiful flower girl, he felt a little lustful, and his eyes usually stayed on her looming sensitive parts.
Jiang Yan was the only one with a plain face. He was holding a white paper fan in his hand and tied up his hair with a white scarf. The tail of the fan and the hem of his body were decorated with gold and jade pendants. He seemed to have a different temperament from the average young master.
He and Cheng Shaojiu were both dressed like men today, with long sleeves and long clothes, and plain white hair scarves, but the difference between them was obvious once they were dressed up and decorated.
"Speaking of which, brother Xiao Ran has made a successful breakthrough this time, and we haven't had a proper celebration for him yet. So I invited the three of them to Yunluo Restaurant for a banquet, which can be regarded as an opportunity for everyone to get together." Jiang Yan said with a smile.
"You're welcome, it's just a fluke, a lucky breakthrough, hahaha..." Xiao Ran curled his lips, picked up the wine glass and drank a drink with Jiang Yan.
"Senior Brother Xie Jiang invites you to a banquet!"
"Brother Xiao has unlimited potential. When you need something in the future, why are you so polite with this banquet now?" Jiang Yan said politely.
After the two were polite, Jiang Su looked away and said.
"Now I heard that the important food supply town outside the city has been plagued by insects, the granaries are getting thinner and thinner, and the plague is spreading more and more in the outer city. I can't believe that the inner city can still maintain such prosperity."
"Junior sister Jiang doesn't know something." Jiang Yan said with a smile, "In the inner city, our seven alliances are in the same spirit, advancing and retreating together. In terms of food supply, the Ou family took the lead and immediately turned to the other side to produce food that was not affected by the disaster.
to purchase grain.
But the situation here is stabilized because supply is given priority to the inner city."
"No wonder there is still a wine shop here... It's really an eye-opener." Cheng Shaojiu sighed. He recalled the corpses of those who died of starvation in the outer city, and felt a little uncomfortable.
"Brother Shaojiu, what you said is wrong. Beauty and wine complement each other. If one of them is missing, wouldn't it be a great fun?" Xiao Ran patted Cheng Shaojiu's back politely and said with a smile.
He is now so proud that he calls his senior brothers and sisters by their first names without any courtesy, except for Jiang Yan and senior senior brother.
The rest of the people also treated him with contempt and no knowledge because of his extraordinary talent, having broken through Shipi's secondary qi and blood at such a young age.
"You men all have the same virtue!" Jiang Su said dissatisfied.
"Brother Xiao, this is just the true nature of a man. He is straightforward and generous. Compared with those old guys who think in their hearts and pretend to refuse with their mouths, they are much more straightforward." Jiang Yan defended him with a smile.
