I want to embrace the moon for nine days

The night was dark and the snoring was thunderous.

The old horse, with a piece of flesh missing from his cheek and his gums exposed, was sleeping soundly.

His wife was sleeping next to him and helped him put up the corner of the quilt. Then she turned around and lifted the sweaty child out of the quilt a little to let him breathe.

Among the people of Quancheng, Coach Ma is quite famous and enviable.

Many people have escaped from other places and may not be in good health. They are considered lucky if they can survive.

And Coach Ma actually managed to save his first wife and a child. This was truly a blessing earned in eight lifetimes.

There are some men and women in the city who see the right thing and arrange a table of food, which is regarded as a marriage, and often come over specially to invite Coach Ma and his family to be their guests.

It can be regarded as a blessing and auspiciousness.

This was how their family arranged their dinner today. The family also prepared two tanks of home-brewed wine, which tasted slightly spicy and sweet.

Coach Ma drank a few more bowls and felt so hot all over while sleeping that he would kick off the quilt at every turn.

But when there was a strange noise in the house, he was the first to become alert.

Swish! !

Lao Ma suddenly turned over, half-kneeling on the bed, and looked at the open space in the room.

The wife was shocked, but over the past few years, she had already made a tacit agreement to hug the child and shrink to the window. If the situation was bad, she would break the window and escape.

"what happened?"

"There's a weird laugh!"

Lao Ma replied softly.

Before he finished speaking, the originally low voice had already become louder.

Ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha! !

The sound seemed to penetrate from the ground, filling the whole room, shaking dust from the beams.

The voice was full of evil meaning, which made people feel palpitated and panicked just by listening to it. They thought of all kinds of bad things in their minds and got goosebumps all over their bodies.

I saw a golden ball of red light flying out from the ground, stopping near the beam, slowly rotating, with uncertain brightness and darkness.

As early as the moment the light ball emerged from the ground, Lao Ma's hidden weapons had already flown out in succession.

However, those fine needles were nailed all the way from the ground to the wall, densely packed, connected front to back, and extended to the beams.

But it had no impact on the ball of light.

Lao Ma was startled, guessing that the other party might be a spirit with a talent for illusions, or a spirit with the power to separate souls.

"What kind of monster are you?!"

Lao Ma roared loudly, his voice so loud that it could have been heard for miles around.

There were many men living near his home who were also on the battlefield, so they were alert enough.

But after he shouted this, he couldn't hear any alert or help coming from outside.

He glanced at the window with the corner of his eye, and could faintly see that the luster of his own window became a little unusual, and his heart became even heavier.

"Demon?"

The light ball monster smiled and said, "I am a weapon demon named Sanxiao. I am not a monster."

"You're a despicable boy, you're lucky. I sensed your skill in using weapons, so I came here for a while."

"Use all your skills. If it turns out to be interesting, I will spare your life!"

Ding!
Just as the light ball uttered its last syllable, a flash of silver light hit the light ball.

Lao Ma kept shaking his hands.

His eyes, fingertips, and the silver light in the sky were all connected in a straight line.

Lao Ma, a martial artist in the Qi Sea realm, was able to survive in a frequently turbulent place like Shanyang for several years and still keep his family intact.

He was even more valued by the military, who gave him a mechanism armor and a sufficient supply of thunder and fire bombs for him to use... relying on four sets of hidden weapon skills!
There is fire in the wind, the flowers are fragrant, the snow is floating, and the moon is like silver!
Fire in the wind is the skill of striking thunder and fire bombs. It requires quick eyes and quick hands, swift wind and fierce fire, and the shots are as powerful as beads. They collide and eject, and the faster they hit, the faster they hit.

Flower Bottom Fragrance talks about how when using a concealed weapon, mixed with fragrant powder and poisonous powder, the sparks from the collision of the darts with the concealed weapon can suddenly ignite the poisonous powder and throw it at the enemy's face.

This hand is most suitable for use in close quarters, when one enemy is against many, and when faced with a siege, it is used to relieve the siege.

Drifting in the snow uses light hidden weapons, such as flying needles, ice beads, etc. The material is crystal clear, the range of action is very small, and the sound of breaking the air is very light, making it difficult to guard against, and suitable for surprise attacks and assassinations.

The last move of "moon is like silver" is Lao Ma's ability to keep the bottom of the box.

What was struck was not a solid concealed weapon, but a drop of mercury.

With the skill of the Qi Sea realm, it is difficult to imagine how difficult it is to round up this drop of mercury and hit it a hundred steps away, while still retaining the strength to penetrate the iron plate.

The hard work that Lao Ma puts in every day in this area makes many men in the army who pride themselves on their hard-working fighting skills speechless when they see it.

The real power of this drop of mercury lies not only in its powerful penetrating power, but also in the special technique of movement, which can continuously release the penetrating energy after hitting the target.

Like moonlight shining down, it penetrates every hole, penetrates the skin and veins, blocks the blood and turns into silver.

If you use the military's specially made mercury to exorcise evil spirits, you can kill monsters that are equivalent to the ladder realm with your mind and heart.

Previously, in the battlefield in the Dongcheng Valley, if he had not used up all the exorcism mercury around him, he would not have been able to do anything about the winged blue wolf.

What he just typed out was a whole supply of exorcism mercury that he had replenished after the war.

Even if a spirit has the talent of leaving the soul, its separated soul can ignore the attacks of other hidden weapons, but if it is hit by this mercury, it will be broken on the spot.

But at this time, the silver light successfully hit the surface of the light ball, emitting air waves again and again, trying to penetrate inside, but it could never penetrate.

"How, how could it be possible? What kind of monster is this..."

"If you are so powerful, why would you come to me specifically?!"

Lao Ma looked at the futile silver light that seemed to be being wiped out, feeling horrified in his heart.

He originally thought that if the mercury to exorcise evil spirits was ineffective, he would hold his wife and try to see if he could break the window and escape.

But now, for some reason, he couldn't take his eyes away from the silver light or the ball of light.

He felt that his power seemed to be flowing out of his sight.

He practiced hard in hidden weapon kung fu since childhood, became complacent as an adult, fled his hometown after the war and drought, and suffered from the pain of losing his neighbors and relatives.

Using concealed weapons to kill thieves and hunt with concealed weapons, honed in pain, is the only guarantee of survival. He teaches this method to his wife who comes from a small businessman's family and originally only knew female celebrities.

After arriving in Quancheng, settling down again, with my wife and children by my side, I felt such indescribable happiness...

These, all the memories related to hidden weapons, and the mental perceptions involving those hidden weapon techniques, are also lost with the sight.

A huge sadness and unwillingness arose in Lao Ma's heart. It hurt so much that his eyes trembled, but he could not speak.

He could not imagine that gold and silver would be shattered, houses would be burned, homes would be lost, and loved ones would be lost.

Now, even the skills that he had worked hard on bit by bit and thought he would accompany him until his death could be taken away from him.

Why? Why? ! Why! ! !
After the exorcism mercury was wiped away, the light ball laughed again.

"The realm is too low, and the essence is like dry cotton wool, which has no taste at all, but the little salt brought by the blood, sweat and suffering is still edible!"

A golden-red light ball circled in the sky.

"I have improved your skills and concealed weapon methods to a higher level, and will return them to you to open your eyes!"

A red light shot out from the big light ball and fell into the old horse's body.

Lao Ma was shaken all over, his trembling eyes became stiff, and the intense grief and anger seemed to be broken, and the whole person stood sluggishly. The golden-red ball of light had submerged into the ground and disappeared.

The woman by the window waited for a long time, and then she finally recovered from her shock, and nervously reached out to touch Lao Ma's shoulder.

"His father..."

Lao Ma trembled, suddenly stepped straight up, left the bed, stamped his foot on the ground, and walked straight out of the house.

"Wind, flower, snow and moon, wind, flower, snow and moon, fire in the wind, fragrance at the bottom of the flower..."

Lao Ma muttered to himself, his expression was dull, his eyes seemed empty and blank, and they seemed extremely complex and changeable.

As he walked forward, he came across the table, stretched out his hand and pressed it, and the table fell apart, leaving only a corner, which he held in his hand.

Moving forward, he came across the door and pressed forward with his other hand, causing the door to shatter.

The woman was startled and hurried to the door, shouting loudly.

The neighbors then realized that something had happened and got up one after another.

The strong man holding a spear jumped in from outside the wall without even having time to put on his coat, shouting: "Sister-in-law, what's the matter? What happened to the old horse?"

Before he finished speaking, his hair suddenly stood on end, and the alarm bells in his heart rang wildly. Before he could see anything clearly, he threw himself to the side.

Boom! ! !
Fortunately, he was able to dodge quickly, and a piece of table corner passed by him and hit the wall behind him.

No, it should be said that thanks to the corner of the table, it was not aimed at him.

The strong man rolled on the spot, half-lying nimbly, and turned around to look. Only then could he see clearly that it was Lao Ma himself who had taken action.

"Fire in the wind, fire in the wind!"

Lao Ma muttered to himself, and hit the wooden board he grabbed with his left hand again.

The wooden board hit the corner of the table, and the entire wall shook with a bang, collapsing on the spot and causing dust to fly everywhere.

This wall is seven inches thick, one foot high, and four feet long. It is completely solid.

If a person in the Qi Sea realm can shoot a hidden weapon with all his strength, it would not be too unusual if he could penetrate this wall.

However, using only two wooden boards, the entire tall and thick courtyard wall collapsed without penetrating the wall.

On weekdays, when Lao Ma is at his best, it is impossible for him to do this.

The strong man also noticed that something was wrong with the old horse's expression, and he wondered in his heart: "Could it be that he took some powerful tonic, which blinded his brain and made him stronger?"

Some neighbor comrades-in-arms witnessed the collapse of the wall outside before they had time to enter the yard. They thought it was Lao Ma who had used thunder bombs, and they all exclaimed.

"What kind of thief lets Lao Ma use thunder and fire bombs in the city?"

Hearing the familiar words "Thunder Fire Bomb", Lao Ma's nose twitched, as if he was remembering something, he stretched out his hand towards the corner to grab it.

There was a water tank in the corner, which had been smashed by the collapsed wall just now. The cold water overflowed, revealing a waterproof paint bucket inside.

Lao Ma stretched out his hand to grab it, opened the lid of the paint bucket, and a series of thunder and fire bombs flew out.

"Fire in the wind, fire in the wind, I understand!"

Thunder and fire bullets were shot forward or toward the sky.

It is different from the method that Lao Ma liked to use in the past, which was to eject, change direction, and then detonate.

Today, his thunder and fire bombs detonated without ejection after being infused with skill.

But the location of the detonation was obviously extraordinary.

Every three or four thunderfire bombs are grouped together, and the timing and spacing of the explosions are just right. The blasting airflow generated does not scatter randomly, but converges into a directional gust of wind.

Although the neighbor comrades in front of them hid quickly, the directional airflow directly shattered the roofs of the houses across the street.

The tiles were broken and flew away, and the beams and columns were broken and thrown away.

Amidst the rumbling sound, streams of fire air continued to impact, destroying the entire house opposite.

A crazy smile appeared on Lao Ma's face.

"So that's how it should be, okay, I understand!"

Suddenly a frosty breath floated in the air.

"Old Ma, why are you crazy?!"

Liu Qichi shouted low and fell from the sky.

The thunder and fire bombs that Lao Ma had just projected were frozen into lumps of ice and fell to the ground before they had time to explode.

The crumbling remains of the house were all frozen by frost, maintaining a strange yet dangerous beauty.

The three of them, Liu Qichi, were discussing matters at high altitude when they saw abnormal fire flickering on the ground from a distance. Then they rushed over to take a look and found that something was indeed going wrong.

Dongfang Xin looked around, but found no one injured.

Seeing Lao Ma's crazy smile, Su Hanshan raised his left hand, pinched his middle finger with his thumb, and made a natural seal.

"Zen! Concentration!"

The artistic conception of tranquility, peace and tranquility spreads.

Lao Ma's expression was startled, the smile on his face faded, and he calmed down, but he was still mumbling in a low voice and gesturing with his hands, as if he was holding on to some hidden weapon that others could not see and was trying out.

"Ok?"

Su Hanshan's eyes flashed, his figure quickly moved in front of Lao Ma, and he tapped his finger on the center of Lao Ma's eyebrows.

"He is not crazy because of a crazy and out-of-control mentality. On the contrary, his current situation is that he is too focused and obsessed with one thing and ignores all other factors."

Liu Qichi was surprised: "Is it possible that I have become obsessed with practicing? No wonder my skills seem to be full and even better than before?"

People who practice martial arts practice a certain kind of kung fu for many years and become so obsessed with it that they completely forget themselves and cannot recognize other people. They only focus on trying out new moves. This is called insanity.

The only difference between this state and being possessed is that being possessed will damage oneself, while being possessed has the benefit of increasing one's skill.

"No, that's an illusion!"

Su Hanshan's voice was deep, and he said, "His energy has been completely lost, and there is only a strange aura in his body, which is squeezing his potential and creating the illusion of full inner energy."

The deeper a person practices martial arts, the deeper his potential.

This kind of oppression at all costs can make Lao Ma appear much stronger than usual for a while, with his brain sharper and his inspiration bursting.

But this is tantamount to burning life, and it will soon dry up and die.

"Weird aura?"

Liu Qichi and Dongfang Xin looked at each other, but neither felt anything strange in Lao Ma's body.

After all, their practice of Xuantai is not as delicate as Su Hanshan's golden elixir.

wrong!

Su Hanshan suddenly realized that he was able to capture that weird aura so accurately not only because of the convenience of the golden elixir, but also partly because of the "Xuanyin Searching Demon Manual".

Lao Ma's current situation is more like the "inner demon at work" mentioned in the Xuanyin Scripture.

But it was obviously not normal for him to have such a powerful inner demon in a mere Qi Sea realm.

There must be some external demon that planted the evil spirit in him.
