【Option [-]】

[Tell Xiang Renjie that he already knows [Taiqing Gangqi], let him teach him the [Double Hook] move]

……

In fact, I already know the inner strength [Taiqing Stellar Qi].

Zheng Zhuo told Xiang Renjie in detail what he experienced after parting.Including subduing Lin Qi, locking him in the firewood room, forcing him to teach him the [Taiqing Gangqi] method in the name of healing his injuries, asking for information, and then rushing to save people, etc.

As for Fu Xi manipulating Lin Qi to save the scene, he didn't say that he was a partner of [Subconscious World] - it was too difficult to understand, and Xiang Renjie would definitely think he was crazy.

Zheng Zhuo only excused that when he left the firewood room, because he was afraid of Lin Qi's pursuit, he gave Lin Qi drugs that would make him unconscious and insane.It was purely accidental that Lin Qi would just jump off that bridge and land on the boat the two of them were riding in.

Xiang Renjie originally thought that Lin Qi's pursuit this time was due to his personal enmity with those two direct disciples.Now it's finally clear.

He didn't quite believe what Zheng Zhuo said at first.But the hard evidence was in front of him, at that time Lin Qi was indeed delirious, his face was like a ghost, Xiang Renjie had no choice but to believe it.

"This accident is too much of a coincidence. Could it be that in the dark, God has his own destiny?"

He has encountered too many strange things recently, and he couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh.

……

The river is swaying, all the way to the east.

Knowing that Zheng Zhuo has mastered [Taiqing Gang Qi], Xiang Renjie no longer teaches other internal skills.He just urges Zheng Zhuo to memorize the chapters in [Return to the First Classic], and practice internal strength day and night.

During the rest time, Zheng Zhuo proposed to master a weapon for self-defense.Xiang Renjie agreed.

Xiang Renjie does not know the Kunlun hook method.What he taught Zheng Zhuo was the [Fisherman's Hook Method].This is a tactic that the Tuoba family of Beihai realized from the deep sea hooking method. It has been widely spread and is commonly used by hookers in the Central Plains. It is characterized by accuracy and ruthlessness, and is suitable for beginners with weak internal skills.

Moreover, this move is often used in gang jumping battles.Practicing on the boat now is just the most suitable.

Zheng Zhuo saved Xiang Renjie's life for the second time, and Xiang Renjie's attitude towards him was much better than before.Seeing that the weather, location, and people are all here, he no longer hides it, and simply taught Zheng Zhuo the weapon part of the [Gui Yi Jing].

Zheng Zhuo guessed that this outstanding person really wanted to accept him as an apprentice, and he secretly regretted it, saying: "(Each world can only stay for a short while, and I just climbed up from the bottom, and I don't have to enjoy it! If you can After staying in this world for ten or eight years, with Xiang Renjie who knows [Return to the First Classic] as a master, supplemented by skills such as [Appraisal], [Quick Hands and Feet], [Disguise], and [Alchemy], I will become the No. 1 of that martial arts world. .[-]!)"

He feels that in this [subconscious world], he is becoming more and more like a worker: when he is proficient in his business and his salary is high, he should be transferred to another department.

In these broken thoughts, Zheng Zhuo turned his grief and anger into motivation and worked hard.

After the first seven days, Zheng Zhuo's [Taiqing Stellar Qi] has been completed.

Xiang Renjie started to teach him how to recognize acupoints, and then taught him "Acupuncturing Hand".

It only took a short time to recognize the acupuncture points.The so-called [acupuncture hand], as long as you tap on the corresponding acupuncture points of the other party, it is enough to transmit the true energy, and it is also very simple.According to Xiang Renjie, this is the basic skill of a warrior.The difference between strong and weak lies only in whether the internal strength is strong or not.

The second seven days passed, Zheng Zhuo got used to the shaking of the boat, and he was able to hit every routine of the fisherman's hook as if walking on the ground.

He didn't feel that there was anything special about it, but the panel showed that his [Fisherman's Hook] had a little success.

There is no place for Zheng Zhuo to celebrate, his main homework is still to punch Xiang Renjie's acupuncture points every day.Zheng Zhuo's internal strength is far inferior to that of Kunlun Elder Xuanjizi, but his victory lies in his perseverance every day.After another two days, he finally unlocked all of Xiang Renjie's acupuncture points.

Xiang Renjie sat down immediately and meditated for a week.He found that the operation was unimpeded and there was no sense of stagnation, and his face showed joy.

"It's done." Xiang Renjie said, "Tomorrow we will disembark and go to Luoling by land!"

……

【Zheng Zhuo】

[Inner Strength: Taiqing Stellar Qi (Small Success)]

[External power: none]

[Skills: Wild Ball Fist (Xiaocheng), Small Grabbing Hand (Xiaocheng), Acupuncture Hand]

[Weapon: Double Hook: Horse-Tripper Hook, Double Hook: Fisherman's Hook (Small Accomplishment)]

[Qimen: None]

……

Only after mastering the moves that are most suitable for meeting the enemy on board, it is necessary to disembark and walk by land.While Zheng Zhuo complained about the current situation in his heart, he followed Xiang Renjie off the boat.

no way.Next, the Chaolai River will flow into the Dajiang River in the south, and Luoling is in the north, so it is not on the same way.

It's better to say that Xiang Renjie recovered one day sooner, and they saved one day of detours.

Along the way, there are all poor mountains and evil mountains.The two walked along the path where the locals cut firewood, all the way through the mountain.

Zheng Zhuo sometimes really wants to know how Xiang Renjie recognizes the direction. [Identification] Can't give an answer.He didn't use exercises, but just looked at the shape of the sun and mountains during the day, and the position of the stars at night to determine the direction.

Sometimes, he would pinch his fingers to calculate how much time had passed since he left the place where he discarded [Return to One Classic], and now, how much should be changed according to the position of the stars at that time.

Zheng Zhuona was in a fog.

Why can't this skill be counted as a skill?If possible, this is the skill he most wants to learn.

However, even if he asked Xiang Renjie "how can I find out the position like this", Xiang Renjie would just say "I'm always on the go, somehow it will be."

No constructive answers at all.

Zheng Zhuo had no choice but to go with him.

……

for several days.Zheng Zhuo and Xiang Renjie traveled during the day and rested at night, never stopping.Both of them have learned internal skills, one of them holds a long hook, and the progress is very fast when cutting mountains and roads.

It's just that Zheng Zhuo secretly thought in his heart that [Fisherman's Hook Method] should be renamed as [Chopping Wood Hook Method], and he should not express it.

He once asked Xiang Renjie "how far is Luoling?", but Xiang Renjie always replied "it's almost there".

Zheng Zhuo didn't know how fast it was.And Xiang Renjie only said that it is in a place where "mountains converge and open slowly".

In other words, even he doesn't know, anyway, it hasn't arrived yet.

On this day, Zheng Zhuo and Xiang Renjie saw the smoke curling up in the mountains.They spent another half a day approaching there, and found that it was a hunter's hut.

Someone who has cigarettes can at least ask for a bowl of hot water.With this in mind, Zheng Zhuo knocked on the door.

dong dong.

Squeak.

A bearded Orion pushed the door out.This person is an old smoker, hanging a pipe and smoking it rattling.

The smell was very strong, but Xiang Renjie didn't change his face.He and Yan asked Orion for some hot water, and shared it with Zheng Zhuo.

"Thank you, brother." Xiang Renjie clasped his fists and said.

Zheng Zhuo also clasped his fists in the same way.However, he raised his head again and asked one more question:
"Brother, what direction is Luoling...? How far away?"

Orion knocked on the smoke rod and pointed to the north.

"Go due north for another ten days. Or..."

He pointed to the northwest and northeast again.

"There are many thorns in the northwest. Only wild animals can pass through it, and it is difficult for ordinary people to enter. But if you can pass through, you can get there in five days."

"There are deep mountains and rifts in the northeast, and there is heavy fog inside. The twists and turns are easy to get lost. The locals occasionally walk. If you are lucky, you can pass through in two days. If you are not lucky, it is common to be trapped in it for 20 days."
