The days when I opened a tavern in Zongwu

Chapter 146 Is there such a benefit?

The tenth day of the lunar month.

The heavy snow dissipated, and light rain began to fall throughout Hanshan City.

There is a saying that spring rain is as precious as oil, and the water that nourishes the growth of all things comes from rain.

In this first month of the year, a spring rain will bring peace to the whole year.

Hanshan City, shrouded in the spring rain, looks like it is surrounded by smoke from a distance, giving it a hazy beauty.

The ice and snow in the past gradually melted under the wash of rain, but also because of the melting of ice and snow, the chill in Hanshan City became even worse.

No matter day or night, the wind is as cold as a knife.

East of the city.

Huang Rong and Xiao Zhao were walking on the street holding umbrellas.

Either pretty or cute, the two people were walking in the misty rain, which actually added a bit of warmth to the Jiangnan water town.

When his eyes looked around, his eyes were extremely agile.

In Li Changqing's courtyard, there are fine wines, delicacies, and elixirs.

Combined with Li Changqing's own medical skills, even Yao Yue and Huang Xuemei had to admit that Li Changqing's family not only nourished people but also nourished their hearts.

Just like what Li Changqing, Huang Rong and even Lian Xing said, after getting along for a period of time.

At this time, Xiao Zhao was no longer as taciturn as when he first arrived in Hanshan City.

He also lost the caution he showed when he first arrived at Li Changqing's courtyard.

A pair of eyes seems to have been dripped with the most beautiful emollient in the world, making them lively and smart.

The beauty of Huang Rong and Xiao Zhao was recognized by Yao Yue and Lian Xing. Although they were slightly younger than Yao Yue and others, they were still full of beauties.

In the past, even one person walking on the street was enough to attract the attention of people on the street, let alone two people walking on the street together.

Not to mention the men, even the women on the street frequently lost their focus when their eyes fell on the two women. When they came back to their senses, they couldn't help but feel envious.

On the street, people sitting in a steamed stuffed bun shop looked at the two of them. One of them had a decent appearance. I can still see two such beautiful girls on the street."

"Do you know whose family it belongs to?"

However, just as the man spoke, an older man next to him quickly reached out and covered the man's mouth, and then looked around.

After confirming that no one was paying attention to him, the older man breathed a sigh of relief.

After glaring at the cousin next to him, he slowly let go of his hand.

"Biao Guo, what's wrong?"

The older man lowered his voice and said: "You were not in Hanshan City before, so you don't know the situation. Remember, in this Hanshan City, you must not have any ideas about the two girls just now."

The cousin next to him blinked and asked in confusion: "Why do you think you are so afraid of those two girls?"

The older man smiled bitterly and said, "Are you not afraid? Let me tell you, there are two major gangs in Hanshan City, the Evergreen Gang and the Iron Fist Sect."

"Last month, Sun San, a gangster in the city, spotted the naughty girl in yellow clothes while shopping for groceries. He wanted to secretly work with a few people to capture the girl and sell her to Huichun Building. , but it turned out that the words were spoken in the afternoon, and the person died at night.”

"Three days ago, the Yu family in the north of the city was the owner of the Ruyi Inn in the north of the city. The second son of the family also saw the two of them when they went out early in the morning. In the end, they just blocked the road in the street and didn't say a few words before they were stopped by the two. A girl was beaten and thrown to the side of the road."

"On the second day, the entire Yu family moved out. It is said that when they went out, someone saw that the Yu family's second leg was broken."

"No one in Hanshan City knows that these two girls are the maids of the owner of the old tavern in the west of the city. Behind the owner of the old tavern are the Evergreen Gang and the Iron Fist Sect."

Hearing what the older man said, the cousin beside him said in astonishment: "Didn't Biao Guoqian say before that the Evergreen Gang and the Iron Fist Sect have always been at odds? How come they are covering that old tavern at the same time?"

"Ask me, who will I ask? It's all groundless anyway. In the future, in Hanshan City, you should say less of these things, otherwise, you will be in trouble."

While the two were discussing in low tones, they did not notice that on another table next to them, a middle-aged man's bowl had been hanging in the air for a long time, obviously listening to what the two said.

The man was wearing a blue robe with a jade flute on his waist, but his face was strange, as if he was numb and had no expression at all.

As the two people next to them finished speaking, the middle-aged man's gaze passed through the crowd and focused on Huang Rong. Although his face could not see the happiness or anger clearly, his eyes were filled with anger.

in the afternoon.

In the courtyard, rainwater slid down the bricks and tiles to the eaves and then fell on the edge of the courtyard.

The wintersweet and plants in the courtyard sway gently under the wind and rain.

Sometimes golden wintersweet falls from the branches under the beating of rain.

But if someone observes carefully, they can find that there are new green buds sprouting on the branches, demonstrating the vigorous vitality of this wintersweet tree.

Inside the house, there was an occasional "crackling" sound when the firewood was burning in the stove.

Waves of warmth continued to radiate from several stoves to the entire room.

Yao Yue, Lian Xing, Huang Xuemei and Huang Rong sat around playing mahjong together, while Xiao Zhao sat quietly beside Huang Rong and watched.

Just while watching, fluctuations of internal energy appeared in Xiao Zhao's body from time to time.

Li Changqing placed the rocking chair next to the bed and quietly admired the drizzle moving in the wind outside.

In his right hand, a three-inch and seven-inch flying knife made of ordinary iron kept moving between Li Changqing's fingers.

The pleasant temperature, the pleasant sound of rain and the sound of mahjong collision are inexplicably soothing when heard.

However, feeling the fluctuation of Xiao Zhao's internal energy next to her, Huang Rong felt on pins and needles at this moment.

Compared with before New Year's Eve, with the improvement of Xiao Zhao's root bones and the help of Li Changqingyuan's Chinese medicinal wine, his current cultivation level has entered the eighth level of the Houtian realm.

Her cultivation level was similar to that of Huang Rong when she first entered the courtyard.

And because the cultivation level is still in the acquired realm, it is even easier to switch to cultivation techniques.

After these ten days, all the internal power in Xiao Zhao's body was transformed into the special internal power of "Tianlong Jue".

With the nourishment of Li Changqing's medicinal wine, apart from resting throughout the day, he will exercise his internal energy for cultivation.

Can you imagine the psychological pressure this brought to Huang Rong?

"Om~"

However, at this moment, an awe-inspiring, cold and inexplicable sword intent suddenly burst out from Li Changqing's body.

As the sword intention circulated, the temperature in the entire room seemed to drop suddenly.

Sensing the situation on Li Changqing's side, several other people in the room looked at Li Changqing and stopped involuntarily.

Looking at Li Changqing, who had his eyes closed and his true energy and sword intent aura surged crazily all over his body, Xiao Zhao lowered his voice and said, "Sister Rong, sir, what is this?"

Faced with Xiao Zhao's question, Huang Rong was also confused.

He looked at Huang Xuemei standing aside.

In response, Huang Xuemei shook her head and said: "I don't know, let's read on."

In front of the window, the blood-red sword intent and true energy in Li Changqing's body were circulating rapidly at this time. The two qi of heaven and earth that had been accumulated in Li Changqing's dantian during this period, as well as the sword intent of the fast sword, seemed to be attracted and slowly came out of the dantian. outflow.

The trajectories of these four energies are very unique.

Six points are like the exercise route of "Xiantian Gangqi", three points are like the exercise route of "The First Finger of the Universe", and one point is the special mental method in "Flying Knife Skills".

As the four energies moved along this unique movement trajectory, the true energy in Li Changqing's body began to gradually wrap up the two energies of the universe and the sword intention.

But the next second, just like oil and water are incompatible, the four energies quickly separated.

But as Li Changqing's body's internal exercise route was slightly adjusted, the three energies quickly merged.

And this time, the three energies were not spread out like before.

Since then, the Qi of Qian and Kun in Li Changqing's body suddenly changed.

From the original single Qian and Kun Qi, it has become a new Qian and Kun Qi that is now composed of the four energies of True Qi, Sword Intent, Qian and Kun Qi, and Sword Intent.

When the new Qian and Kun Qi were condensed, Li Changqing's hand that originally held the flying knife suddenly opened.

The flying knife that was originally held and played with was also suspended upside down in the sky above Li Changqing's palm due to the drag of his true energy.

The blood-red Qian and Kun Qi surrounded and gathered around the flying knife, making this flying knife look like it had a strange beauty.

Seeing this scene, not to mention Huang Xuemei and Huang Rong, even Yao Yue and Lian Xing, who had also learned "The First Finger of the Universe", now understood what was going on.

Astonishingly, Li Changqing succeeded in following what Li Xunhuan said, integrating his own martial arts with sword intention, sword intention, the Qi of Qian and Earth, and the "Flying Knife Skill" into one, forming a new "Flying Knife Skill".

"Buzz!"

As the flying knife fell into his hand again, with a flick of his wrist, the flying knife suddenly turned into a blood-red meteor and flew out in the air.

The blood-red sword intent mixed with the glistening white sword intent caused an extra layer of sword light to appear on the flying knife.

Along the way, the rain and flying flowers were all broken instantly when the sword glowed.

When the flying knife broke through the air and touched the wall of the inner courtyard, with the sword intent surrounding the flying knife, the sword intent and the special strength, the originally hard wall was penetrated by the flying knife as easily as tofu. .

When the knife was fired, a system prompt message suddenly popped up in front of Li Changqing.

[Ding, congratulations to the host's "Flying Knife Skill" for being upgraded to the middle level of heaven level. ] As this system prompt appeared, a large amount of information suddenly poured into Li Changqing's mind the next moment.

And the true energy, sword intention, sword intention and Qiankun Qi in the body all began to circulate rapidly at this moment.

It even contains some unique tips and unique ways to use the two qi of heaven and earth.

Half a quarter of an hour later, as all this information was integrated into his mind, Li Changqing couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

"Is there such a benefit?"

Originally, "Flying Knife Skills" was just an underground weapon martial arts.

Because of the bonus of Li Changqing's understanding, Li Changqing mastered "Flying Knife Skills" to the level of "comprehension" the first time he came into contact with it.

After originally seeing the system display that the level of "Flying Knife Skills" had improved, Li Changqing thought that his mastery of "Flying Knife Skills" would also improve, but he did not expect that his mastery of "Flying Knife Skills" would decline as the level increased.

But I didn't expect that I would still be in the state of "integration and mastery".

For Li Changqing, it was a complete surprise.

In the room, after watching Li Changqing's inner energy, sword intent and other auras gradually converge and open his eyes, several people stood up together.

Huang Xuemei asked immediately: "Have you successfully integrated the true energy, sword intention and Qiankun?"

Li Changqing smiled and nodded: "The fusion was successful, and the sword intention was also integrated into it."

After receiving the confirmation from Li Changqing, Huang Xuemei felt shocked.

Huang Xuemei has practiced "The First Finger of Qian and Kun", so she naturally knows the uniqueness of the two qi of Qian and Kun.

According to what Li Xunhuan said, the two qi of the universe and the earth can also complement the warrior's true qi and enhance the power of the true qi.

But it is not easy to integrate the two qi of heaven and earth into one's own true qi.

You need to constantly adjust your own cultivation methods and the mental method of "The First Finger of the Universe".

Therefore, in the past half month, even Huang Xuemei failed to integrate the Qi of Qian and Kun with her own true Qi.

But not only did Li Changqing do it, he also incorporated the will of the sword and the will of the sword into it.

One can imagine Li Changqing's talent.

Therefore, even though it was not the first time that she felt the power of Li Changqing's understanding, Huang Xuemei still couldn't help but exclaimed: "Your understanding is really shocking."

Li Changqing smiled softly, then waved his hand and said, "Let's go take a look first!"

After saying that, Li Changqing stood up and moved to the front yard using Qinggong.

Yao Yue and Huang Xuemei also set off one after another.

As they entered the front yard together, several people glanced at the wall that Li Changqing had just punched through with his flying knife.

The wall of Li Changqing's yard is a brick wall, only about seven inches thick in the front yard and back yard.

But the flying knife just now penetrated this wall directly, and the handle of the flying knife was completely submerged into the outer wall.

Huang Rong estimated that if this knife was aimed at her, she wouldn't be able to defend it with her strength.

He raised his hand and used his strength to suck out the flying knife from the wall and then dropped it into Yao Yue's hand.

However, when the energy just dissipated and the flying knife fell into his hand, the flying knife broke into pieces and fell to the ground.

Seeing this, after thinking for a moment, Yao Yue looked at Li Changqing and said, "Do you still have the flying knife?"

Li Changqing nodded and said: "I had someone make a set of twelve in total."

Yaoyue said: "Try using your flying knife on me."

Li Changqing nodded and said, "That's okay."

Just a wall alone cannot measure the power of his flying knife.

It would be the best thing if Yao Yue was willing to help him experiment.

After the words fell, the two of them returned to the inner courtyard together.

When the distance between Yao Yue and Li Changqing was close to three feet, Li Changqing adjusted his breathing slightly, and the Qi of Qian and Kun in his body was instantly mobilized.

"Buzz!"

Immediately afterwards, a piercing sound suddenly appeared in the air.

Before Huang Rong and Xiao Zhao could tell where the sound came from, a streak of blood flew out from Li Changqing's side like lightning and shot towards Yao Yue.

Facing the flying knife that was speeding towards him in the air, Yao Yue waved her long sleeves, and the wall containing unique repulsion and suction force of energy pushed towards the flying knife that was speeding towards her in the air.

However, as the energy transformed into the flying knife, the energy was quickly broken by the flying knife filled with blood.

It wasn't until it lunged forward a foot that it hovered in the air.

However, after easily controlling the flying knife in the air, Yao Yue had a look of surprise on her face.

Noticing the expression on Yaoyue's face, Lianxing asked, "Sister, what's wrong?"

Hearing this, Yao Yue's voice was a little more surprised as she said, "The power of this sword is beyond my expectation."

After a pause, Yao Yue explained: "The sword that Chang Qing just issued could seriously injure even a talented warrior in the early stages of the Grand Master realm if he is not careful."

Listening to Yao Yue's words, Huang Rong and Xiao Zhao next to her had expressions of surprise on their faces.

Huang Rong couldn't help but said: "Is it so powerful?"

Yaoyue nodded lightly and asked, "How much power did you use just now?"

Facing Yao Yue's question, Li Changqing responded: "Seventy percent, if it's ten percent."

"Seventy percent, that is to say, 100% of the skill, if used properly, can kill even the genius warriors in the middle stage of the Grandmaster Realm, and those in the early stage of the Xiantian Realm can have such power."

"If it had been Li Xunhuan instead of Chang Qing who had just issued the sword, I wouldn't have dared to take it head-on."

"Xiao Li's flying knife is a well-deserved example, and his reputation is indeed well-deserved."

As she spoke, Yao Yue frowned slightly.

Yao Yue had heard of Li Xun Huan's name before.

But Yaoyue didn't pay much attention to Li Xunhuan in the past.

Even a little contempt.

But today, after feeling the flying knife from Li Changqing, Yaoyue realized that she had indeed underestimated the masters on Bai Xiaosheng's various lists before.

After learning about the power of his flying knife, Li Changqing also had a satisfied smile on his face.

Although it is not certain whether Li Xunhuan's flying knife is stronger or weaker than his own, given the same level of cultivation.

But it is a great thing to be able to give yourself, who is only at the early stage of the Xiantian realm, a trump card to deal with the warriors at the early stage of the Grandmaster realm or even the middle stage of the Grandmaster realm.

Although Li Changqing now has the "Ding Peng Character Card" of the Grand Master Realm, this thing is one-time use after all.

Once it's used, it's gone.

And after all, external forces are not as good as the strength you control.

If not, with the system in hand, why would Li Changqing spend so much time practicing and studying his martial arts every day?

Li Changqing's strength has improved greatly.

After seeing the benefits brought by the integration of Qian and Kun Qi and Zhen Qi, Yao Yue, Lian Xing and Huang Xuemei no longer had the interest to continue playing mahjong.

Instead, they each found a place to study the two qi of the universe and the earth in their bodies, hoping to merge the two qi of the universe and their own true energy as soon as possible.

Especially Yaoyue.

During this period of time, with "Moving Flowers and Connecting Jade", she reached the level of "reaching the pinnacle", and Huang Xuemei could only go back to her room to rest at night for ten consecutive days.

And Huang Xuemei came into contact with "The First Finger of the Universe" earlier than them.

Once Huang Xuemei was allowed to blend the Qi of Heaven and Earth with her own true Qi first, thereby greatly increasing her strength, Yao Yue was afraid that she would not be able to suppress Huang Xuemei and let her sneak into Li Changqing's house at night to be happy.

I have to say that pressure is indeed the source of motivation in many cases.

Before meeting Huang Xuemei, Yao Yue had not had this sense of urgency extended by strength for a long time.

As Yao Yue and others are already practicing in the courtyard, Huang Rong and Xiao Zhao naturally don't want to be lazy.

As Li Changqing returned to the main room to drink and listen to the rain, the two of them could only stand in the courtyard and practice.

Appreciate the snow when it falls, listen to the rain when it rains, savor the wind when it blows, and look at the clouds when they surge.

The beauty of life has always existed, it just depends on how people discover it.

It just so happens that Li Changqing has always been good at discovering beauty.

After a few drinks, I heard the sound of rain arriving. Then I looked inside the courtyard and saw a beautiful woman. The sound of rain was also very pleasant.

This scene is very beautiful.
